Outside Imjingak, there are 12 kinds of tanks and crafts on display that were used during the Korean Conflict. Visit Freedom Bridge, a focal point of worldwide attention during the Korean War, which became a major link between the truce site of Panmunjom and Seoul, Republic of Korea. Thousands of words have been written about the village of Panmunjom, but Freedom Bridge was not so widely publicized. To the United Nations Command soldiers returning from captivity in North Korea, it was truly a bridge of freedom. Next up, visit the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, which was discovered in 1978 by Korean forces. It spans over 1635m in length, 2m in width, and 2m in height and is located 52km from Seoul. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 soldiers could move through the tunnel per hour. The tunnel offers various sightseeing points such as the DMZ Video room, symbolic sculptures, the souvenir shops, and more. Next is the Dora Observatory situated in Paju (Gyeonggi-do) which is at the northernmost point of the DMZ Line of the Western Front. From the observatory, visitors can overlook North Korea and its various locations including Gaeseong, Songaksan, Kim Il-Sung Statue, and Cooperation Farm (Geumamgol). The observatory offers 500 seats, VIP rooms, and abundant parking space. It was first opened to the public in January 1987. From there, go to Dorasan Station. A railway station on the Gyeongui Line, it is the northernmost stop on South Korea's railway line. Another historical site that visitors will see is Unification Village. Unification Village is in the northern area of the Civilian Control Line and has 133 families and a total of 493 residents. There is an agricultural marketing center there that sells local farm produce. The market sells some interesting products and is a very popular stop on the tours, especially because one can purchase Ginseng at much more reasonable prices. Some of the local products sold in the market are uncurdled Jangdan bean curd (sundubu), seasoned mountain herbs, traditional liquors, and maeuntang (hot soup). DMZ tours are not available on Mondays. Passport is required to participate in DMZ tours.

Gukeun Memorial Hall exhibits 666 artifacts, which were the personal collection of Dr. Lee Yang-Seon, donated to the museum for preservation. According to the historical records of 'Samguk-sagi,' Anapji Pond was built during the 14th year of King Munmu (in power 661-681 AD) of the Silla Kingdom (57 BC-935 AD). Small mountains were created inside the palace walls, beautiful flowers were planted, and rare animals were brought in to create an exquisitely exotic garden fit for royalty. The pond was originally built in Wolseung Fortress (erected in 101 AD during the Silla period), but the fortress was destroyed and now lies in ruins. In 1974, an excavation project revealed large spherical shapes.

A modern neon filled metropolis, the capital of South Korea is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. Housing a population of nearly 12 million people, Seoul is an area filled with exciting entertainment, exquisite shopping, and intriguing history. After meandering through the streets of Bukchon Hanok Village and its traditional Korean homes, make a stop at Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of 5 prestigious palaces in Seoul. Afterwards, catch up with the times in Seoul's hippest neighborhood, Gangnam, where one can find the greatest restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Also, for the Kpop lovers, take a side step to K-Live for an amazing hologram experience with the likes of superstars PSY and G-Dragon!
Seoul may be the capital of South Korea, but Gyeongju is the cultural and historical hub with the country's most temples, tombs, Buddhist statuaries and palace ruins than anywhere else within the Republic of Korea. Once the capital of the Shilla dynasty, for nearly 1,000 years and later becoming the capital of the entire Peninsula, Gyeongju acquired a population of around one million people. Thanks to president Park Chung-hee, the city underwent a cultural revival in the 1970s and has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll along the beautiful Anapji Pond and admire the unique landscape, flora, and fauna, introduced during King Munmu's reign. Witness the marvelous view during sunrise from the Seokguram Grotto, constructed with granite by the rulers of the Silla Dynasty. With so many historic points of interest, Gyeongju is the place for history buffs.
A port city in the southern end of the Korean peninsula, Busan is the second largest city in the nation with a population of just over 3.5 million. Known for its lively yet relaxed atmosphere, Busan attracts travelers and sailors alike from around the world to its tranquil beaches, gorgeous hot springs, and its famous annual film festival. There are many ways to enjoy Busan such as hiking the nearby mountains to ancient ruins, visiting the local temples, or stopping by the local aquarium. Travelers can also take in the rays while relaxing on one of the many famous beaches in the area and steal a glimpse of Japan in the Horizon. One can also take a ferry to Japan to extend their wonderful Northeast Asia experience.
Korea's largest island, Jeju, is one of the country's top holiday destinations to Koreans and foreigners alike with its lovely beaches, lush inland, and entertaining points of interest. After the Korean war, many arranged newlyweds would honeymoon on the island to relax and get to know one another in a more romantic setting. Today the island is still very popular with honeymooners with the many resort options and adult themed sculpture parks but is a sought after family destination as well offering many outdoor and educational activities. Hike Korea's tallest mountain, Hallasan, or walk some of the winding trails along its summit. Visitors can also enjoy the tranquil beaches, dive near some of the most colorful reefs, and dine on seafood caught by haeneyo, female free divers.

00:18 @fagfanroy I've not seen either of the other two and don't plan to see this summer's or the next two (the last book). #
00:20 @fagfanroy Hallowe'en 2007 we had an all Harry Potter themed costume. I went as Frank Longbottom (Neville's father). #
00:20 @fagfanroy all of our friends (who had read the books) thought that was cool (I came in a hospital gown and "crazy" make-up...). #
00:21 @fagfanroy the next door neighbors who'd only seen the movies didn't know who I was and barely knew who NEVILLE was. #
00:22 @fagfanroy that's the kind of thing I'm talking about with these movies to book adaptations...though a lot of m-t-b-as really suck. #
00:22 Best book to movie adaptation I've seen: Stephen King's The Stand. Worst book to movie adaptation I've seen: Witches of Eastwick. #
00:29 Saawariya - Netflix Instant Watch Bollywood film - a modern fable, similar art direction to Moulin Rouge. #
00:31 @rickybrigante now meanwhile, on the flipside, the Terminator that I've enjoyed the most has to be T-3D at Universal Studios. Neat show! #
00:36 @fortheinsane I really loved the novella, but I'm very much in the minority of not much enjoying the movie. #
00:38 RT @attractions Video and Pictures of Toy Story Mania for Nintendo Wii tinyurl.com/opvfhg #
00:43 @tastybakingco but the BEST Tastycake pie has to be the cherry...or the lemon...or the apple...or the blueberry...all good. Hard to choose. #
00:46 @splatnuk don't forget indy chick flicks: My Big Fat Greek Zombie! #
00:59 what the hell did I post? I just got hit with 7 twitter porn-spam followers (all "female"). #
08:41 @thatkevinsmith love you, love @jaymewes and even love @perezhilton but I gave up on @degrassi_ctv a couple of years ago. #
09:46 @dirtygert @controladdict we always keep a minimum of three Match Games on our Tivo at any given time... #
09:47 Check this video out -- Girls on Film Freak Out (Duran Duran vs. Chic) bit.ly/o2dGH #
10:35 RT @cayers131 There's a world of difference between "self-deprecating" and "self-defecating"...confuse the two at your peril. #fb #
16:31 just got home from ignoring my better judgement and going to see Star Trek anyway. #
16:32 ...it was a great movie. It's a pity it wasn't a great STAR TREK movie. #
16:33 ...it had it's good points: Karl Urban as McCoy, Z. Quinto as Spock, Sulu's improved screen time... #
16:34 ...and Uhura's first name, long in print in the novels and comics has finally been uttered on screen to become "canon (?)" #
16:35 If you are a casual fan or are not concerned with continuity/canon you will enjoy it. If you're a continuity freak stay away. #
16:36 bad points: CHEKOV. His accent was worse than it was in the original series and he was WAY too young. Pavel does not equal Wesley. #
16:38 While I remember, could someone PLEASE tell me that Winona Ryder was wearing age make-up...? #
16:48 The other BIG bad point in my opinion was the blatant product placement...that has NO place in a Star Trek film. #
16:55 @mssres Yes. @sungenis also said "Bud" was a product placement, but I could at least believe that becoming slang for N. American beer. #
16:57 But don't get me wrong. Much bigger childhood memories character rapes witnessed today were seen in the Land of the Lost trailer... #
17:08 and Pike was way too friggin' old by a decade. Jeffrey Hunter was 40 when he played Pike. This guy was 53 (and looked even older)! #
17:09 Pike should have been more virile... #
17:10 @mssres Kirk ordered Bud in the bar while hitting on Uhura. #
17:12 @rickybrigante I was into Star Trek. I'll probably still follow the comics, I might get some novels here and there...but these movies... #
17:13 @rickybrigante ...I'll probably not being seeing more of these movies... #
17:14 @cnreilly do you have ANY idea when the official DVD of the documentary will be released? #
17:22 @dirtygert especially since @cnreilly died two years ago...eerie. #
17:27 on the plus side: the UA in Washington Township, NJ NOT a ghetto theatre. No crying babies/conversations/cellphones/texting. Nice change. #
18:44 RT @michaelianblack Can't vouch for quality (of download or album itself,) but The State's 1995 unreleased album: tinyurl.com/qy8mpe #
19:14 RT @sungenis Here we go. "STAR TREK: Why It Sucks (Part One)" whytheysuck.com/?p=63 #fb #
19:29 @touraj don't bow to the tweer-pressure. What my husband, @sungenis, had to say about it: whytheysuck.com/?p=63 #
20:36 @fagfanroy I caved into YOUR peer pressure and you see how well that worked. ;O #
20:38 for the record, this isn't the first Star Trek movie that left me feeling this way. "Generations" had me screaming upon exit of theatre... #
20:39 so you're telling me that when Kirk is given his ultimate "Heaven" and he's all domestic on a farm or whatever, he's with a random bimbo? #
20:40 He's NOT with Carol Marcus or Janice Rand or even, oh, I don't know, EDITH KEELER maybe? You know that Joan would have done that cameo! #
20:41 ...and the less said about that piece of shit that was "Final Frontier" (even Gene Roddenberry excommunicated it out of canon for chrissakes #
20:42 of course, like it/love it/hate it/don't want to see it/seeing it twenty times/whatever. It's a fucking movie people. Get over yourselves. #
20:43 @fagfanroy no I wanted to LOVE it. But, I told you my misgivings about going and you kept pushing. #
20:53 @fagfanroy did you even read the article? @sungenis brought up valid points. You can't just willy-nilly make changes... #
20:54 @fagfanroy a good story still requires respect for it's own science/universe and how things work in it (as have already been established) #
20:54 @fagfanroy just because the Romulan was mucking with time doesn't mean that he's changed the fundamentals of how time travel works in ST. #
20:56 @fagfanroy seriously, calm down. the problem Paul had wasn't the changes AFTER the Romulan arrived, but BEFORE. It doesn't work like that. #
20:59 @fagfanroy Why/how does MY negative review of a movie (and frankly, it wasn't AS negative as you believe) affect how YOU enjoyed the movie? #
21:00 @fagfanroy after the many years of the DC Multiverse, Marvel's What If's, Star Trek's own Mirror Mirror, Back to the Future and more... #
21:01 @fagfanroy you better believe I more than most people understand alternate universes/retroactive continuity (just ask about Donna Troy)... #
21:03 @fagfanroy I realize J.J. Abrams has his own version of time travel in Lost, which I've tried to watch when it first started and didn't like #
21:04 @fagfanroy but the internal science should still be consistent with what has come before (at least BEFORE Nero shows up). #
21:05 @fagfanroy since Nero's arrival is the divergence point (just as Marty destroying the tree is his initial divergence :Twin/One Pine Mall). #
21:06 @fagfanroy yes, but again what does that have to do with YOUR enjoyment of the film? #
21:08 @bfirrera saying "if you don't want to, then don't" isn't saying "GO (or don't) 'cause your opinion affects my opinion" #
21:08 @polomex I have no problem and I'm just trying to say to roy that he can enjoy and I can not enjoy it (though I DID, which is why... #
21:09 @polomex ...I don't entirely understand why he's fighting with me. All movies have good/bad points. This one had both. #
21:10 @polomex in fact, I could even ignore the stuff my husband brought up. I loved Zach as Spock, and McCoy rocked. #
21:12 @fagfanroy I'm just stating what my opinion was. I still don't see how MY opinion affects YOURS. #
21:12 @fagfanroy there are plenty of movies that I love that many of people hate or don't get and it doesn't take away from my loving the movie #
21:13 @fagfanroy to read a negative review (and again...mine wasn't a negative review...). #
21:17 @fagfanroy Fine...expect a lot of movie reviews about foreign/indy/documentaries/bollywood...cause that's what I like. #
21:18 @fagfanroy and please...I won't go see another movie this summer 'cept the Tarantino and Up, 'cause they're all I want to see... #
21:19 @fagfanroy don't go out of your way to badger me into seeing any of them...okay? That's all you did yesterday. We wouldn't be fighting now #
21:24 @fagfanroy wait...'cause if you include side conversations with others that's not fair... #
21:25 @fagfanroy and I count four big pos and three small negs (plus one neg for Land of the lost)... #
21:27 @fagfanroy fuck you and the horse you rode in on. #
21:30 for the record, @jeffthemidget at least on my side, this conversation is done. #
22:34 @lucindalunacy drunk twittering is worse 'cause you don't have to worry about spell check when you drunk dial... #
22:37 @splatnuk I think the romance angle certainly makes Shawn of the Dead a viable chick flick with zombies. #
22:49 @ranggrol has Wanda's performance from #nerdprom been posted anywhere to watch it? #
23:01 @ranggrol cool thank you. #
23:02 @greggrunberg funny, I was waiting for you to be hidden in strange alien make-up. #

Harry Styles Brings Rock-Star Swagger, Pop Joy to Madison Square Garden
Author: Rob Sheffield / Source: Rolling Stone
Harry Styles is the "ultimate fusion of Mick Jagger's yin and Paul McCartney's yang – that mix of the Stonesy flamboyant rogue and the Beatlesy romantic charmer." Helen Pambrun
"Please feel free to be whoever it is you choose to be in this room tonight," Harry Styles told the crowd at his sold-out show at New York's Madison Square Garden Thursday night, as he strummed his guitar. The guy takes his own advice. He draped himself in the rainbow flag and the bi pride flag as he vamped through the One Direction classic "What Makes You Beautiful." For his biggest solo hit, he offered a dedication: "This song is for anyone out there who needs it. This is 'Sign of the Times.' Happy Pride!"
So much about Harry's live mojo has changed since his boy-band days with One Direction, except the most important thing: the way he lights up a room of any size with his superhuman enthusiasm. A year into his solo rebirth, he's earned his stripes as a master of every rock & roll move, wearing the tradition like it's a coat he had tailored just for him. The whole night was an emotional onslaught.
How confident is Harry in his rockness these days? Imagine the sheer mindfreakery of playing Van Morrison's "Madame George" over the speakers – all 10 minutes of it – right before taking the stage, as if he hears a piece of his soul in Van's compassionate 1968 ballad of a lonesome Belfast drag queen. That's confidence. That's cheek. That's arrogance. That's a rock star.
Night after night, Harry Styles is taking on the central pop-culture question of our moment: What does it mean to share joy, on a mass level, at a time when every day brings a constant barrage of rage? What does it mean to gather a pop tribe and then treat this tribe with respect and affection? Styles has never been coy about his aggressively inclusive stance – a few nights ago in Philadelphia, he waved a rainbow flag declaring "Make America Gay Again." (He borrowed it from a fan up front.) But in 2018, when we're faced with a near-hourly grind of soul-crushing news, when each week presents an America that would have been unimaginable a week ago, what does it mean to replenish your audience to be stronger tomorrow? How can the communal pleasure of a pop show express joy – use joy as a language to communicate – at a time when joy feels like an endangered resource? Every night, he likes to say, "I have one job tonight and that's to entertain you" – but these days, "entertain" takes on a new meaning.
Those questions were built into every moment of his show – especially the intimate moments when it was just Harry and a guitar, digging into the excellent songs on his solo debut, which still holds up to heavy listening a year later. He strutted and preened to "Kiwi" in his white Gucci floral suit with flared bell-bottoms; he whispered in…

sean 10/07/2015 I attended the meeting last night about the 10 acre site of Michael's Est. I thought we were going to see plans that the Board had agreed on, instead it was the same old story. DCC will sell off the land to the highest bidder, no matter what people want. there is talk of a survey. How many times have we had surveys, plans etc and nothing happened. Who will pay for the survey. Last night was a waste of time.
Ken 12/07/2015 I was at that meeting last night. I thought it went very well. I think the people involved did a great job.
There was some participants who were very negative in their outlook but there is always a few of those. They couldn't think about the future and wasted time talking about the past. It was rather disruptive as there was people going off topic. But i think overall everyone worked well together.
I'm glad most people suggested the 10 acre remains to have a park or a space for all ages of people. Also most people were happy that the 1 acre site be used for elderly living accommodation.
I was disappointed some people asked for a car park, a supermarket, Or a Gardai Station. But that's what they wanted so who am i to judge.
The next meeting of this type is on September 9th, topic will be different as i think it will be about inchicore in general.
Again, i was very happy with this meeting.
anne 12/07/2015 Ken, maybe it is your first meeting. We have attended these meetings since 1997 and no matter what you suggests it never comes to anything, DCC have to sell the land because so much was spent on Thornton Heights. The senior citizens complex everyone agrees with except the Dept of Environment. We had great plans and some of us still have them. If you had attended as many meeting as we have since 1997 you would understand. Anyone I spoke to afterwards felt it was a waste of time and I spoke to many. I was born and reared in Inchicore so I know the majority at the meeting.
pat 12/07/2015 I agree with both Sean and Ann. Most people came away frustrated from that meeting. I think we went to the meeting hoping there was good news. I was on committees for many years and know how many times the people from Inchicore were disappointed. There were people there who lived in S.M.E. and all they have seen is Bulfin Ct, Emmet Cres and Thornton Heights built. I agree with Ann that DCC have to recoup the money spent on Thornton Heights. We were in the Community many times and Fishambles St to see plans. One plan was to build something like 3 estates with 360 houses. St pats then wanted to build a stadium and build duplexes in Richmond Park . I could go on forever. I also know people were very unhappy with the meeting and like Ann was born and reared here over 70 yrs ago.
Pauline 13/07/2015 Ken you really have to accept what the people of Inchicore went through over the past 20 years. Great plans, great launches, community centre, Kilmainham Jail etc. Great glossy plans so much money wasted. I cleaned out a lot of these brochures, filled about half my wheelie bin. Eilish, Rita andJohn Bissett were on these committees. Met with planners, architects etc. You think you have got something and then your hopes are dashed, you cannot be positive until the foundations are laid. One great plan was to have a Civic Centre, including a stats of the art library with proper internet services. Inchicore needs a library that is accessible for wheelchair users, a decent supermarket, more affordable houses. I know someone high in authority who says the site will be sold and there could be 6 storey buildings. Nobody wants this, nobody wants St Pat;s Athletic to build a stadium. It is fine for people talking but if you live close to this area you want the best.
Anna 13/07/2015 I agree with most things that was posted, I am long time in Inchicore and have seen plans before. I think we need housing. I feel sorry for the people who have gone through this before as they need action not words. People living beside the 10 acres need closure. They are suffering with burning copper and rubbish on the site.
Judi 15/07/2015 I'm sorry to say the problem here is that locals and the regeneration board are fooling themselves if they think they can decide what to do with this land. Unless they have a EUR150 Million or so then they can just hope something decent is done. Until a planning application is made their views are irrelevant as history has shown.

Paterson (2016)
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Stars: Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani, Barry Shabaka Henley, Method Man, William Jackson Harper
"When you're a child
you learn
there are three dimensions:
Height, width, and depth.
Like a shoebox.
Then later you hear
there's a fourth dimension:
Then some say
there can be five, six, seven…
I knock off work,
at the bar.
I look down at the glass
and feel glad."
The term "magnum opus" is typically used to refer to what somebody considers a filmmaker's unequivocally best, or most important film. Personally, I believe Jarmusch's best film is Dead Man (1995), and his most "important" is probably either Stranger Than Paradise (1984) or Down by Law (1986); but if there had to be only one, I would call Paterson (2016) Jarmusch's magnum opus. This is because it is in this film that Jarmusch's career vision becomes fully actualized. Paterson is not only a film told through simplicity, but it unequivocally is about simplicity; it is about celebrating it and finding beauty in it, which offers a contextualizing lens to viewing Jarmusch's cinema — again, one which has always story-told simplistically — as a beautiful one. Poetry is the form of literature that celebrates the small details of human life; and Jarmusch's cinema is the cinema that does the same. Paterson is an effort to express the sentiment that we should stop more often to appreciate the details.
The love poem at the film's center, regarding the box of matches, illustrates that even the smallest details which fill up our daily lives but that we often refrain from giving much thought to — such as a box of matches — contain the necessary beauty that inspires art, and is what love demands to be expressed through.
The character of Paterson (played by Adam Driver) is a character, who as the film's "hero" embodies not only the celebration of simplicity that the film exudes on multiple levels, but also represents a fascinating complex grounded in modern day human existence. Adam Driver's Paterson is someone who stays neutral as often as he can. He refrains from ever getting too high or too low about anything. In a sense, he simply abides. He is okay with ordinariness, in fact he prefers it. But importantly, Paterson is not passive.
Existentialists, such as Jean-Paul Sartre, pointed at "taking action" as a necessity when dealing with the modern world — for him, cowardice was one of the worst characteristics for someone to have. Although Paterson is not particularly ambitious, such as his wife Laura (played by Golshifteh Farahani) is, he is not without desire, passion, or conviction. In other words, he takes action and cares about the things that happen to and around him. There are a handful of scenes where this is most evident; such as when he acts fast to disarm Everett in the bar, when he feels the pain of his notebook being shredded to pieces — he even tells his dog Marvin that he hates him for it — and most obviously when he writes his poetry. Paterson clearly loves his wife and expresses this continuously; at one point writing that if she were to ever leave him, he 'would tear his heart out, and never put it back.' He is simple, he enjoys the ordinary details in life; but he is not lacking passion or conviction where it matters most, and he is notably not disengaged with reality.
The complex that we can observe through Paterson's character is the contentious concepts of desire and of living in the moment. Paterson was never one to express his desire to ever publish his poetry, he never showed that he truly cared for his words to become eternal. He only ever thought of the moment he was in, which further allowed him to stay grounded in the simple, ordinary existence that he had created for himself. Yet in the end, after his dog ripped up his notebook of poetry, we see that Paterson did have some desire for these things. After the accident, we see him staring at a book of his favorite poet, William Carlos Williams — who we learned earlier in the film, also kept a "secret notebook" of his poetry that became his first published work — and Paterson realizes that the poems he has now lost will never be published. The question that comes to be interrogated here, at the end of the film, is: Can one ever be without desire? The film's response is: Perhaps not, but we can learn to live with moments of un-fulfillment.
The main reasoning that someone typically has to rid themselves of a life led by desire, is so that they would avoid failure or disappointment. Although as a film, Paterson seems to embrace such a life that is not motivated by desire — resembling elements of Eastern philosophy — it also seems to express the necessity of taking action in vital moments — resembling the ideas of Western existentialism. Desire and disappointment are presented in this film as unavoidable ingredients of the human experience. Rhetorically, the film leaves us with the question: "or would you rather be a fish?"
While Driver's Paterson is an endlessly fascinating character study hidden behind the veil of ordinariness, Farahani's Laura is also an interesting character, one who seems more comfortable with expressing her passions and convictions. She resembles the excitement and curiosity that human beings must live with in order to most successfully survive the harsher factors in life.
Over the course of all of my previous viewings of Paterson, I never gave this much thought, but Laura's life seems to be dipped in an embrace of her (Farahani's) Iranian background. Her home, which is mainly filled with handmade decor and her own unique artwork, also features multiple Persian carpets. Laura plays Persian music while she works, and sometimes sings along in Farsi, too. She dreams of ancient Persia, and wakes up to share these dreams with her husband. I'm not sure if these are just details without particular significance, or how deliberate these details even are; but I do think, whether intended or not, there is something to how these details relate to Farahani's own life. The actress left Iran in exile in 2008 and moved to the West to create a new life for herself. Laura, in Paterson, is living a simple life that on the surface does not represent elements of her culture — i.e. She hopes to be a country singer, etc. — but these details, these small inklings pertaining to her Iranian identity, fill her day, showing that her culture has never truly left her mind or her heart; and the dream she has of ancient Persia, to me, illustrates that she yearns for a day when she can return and show Paterson the beauty of where she comes from, a culture which is rich in its art and poetry — two things that are of paramount importance in their lives in the film.
There are films that tell the stories of famous singers, of royalty, business executives, lawyers, doctors, actors, or detectives. There are also films about people who don't have these elaborate jobs, but who have their stories told as they try to achieve something that they consider to be a better way of living. Then there is Paterson — a film that celebrates the ordinary life of a bus driver who also happens to be a poet. Nothing is overdramatized. At no point is there any notion that a "story" needs to be told about any of the characters in the film, or that they shouldn't be elated to live the life that they do. It is simply a week in their ordinary lives. Paterson is effortlessly profound without being esoteric. It is a truly special film that celebrates the human experience like no other.

On October 31st, Microsoft stopped supporting the RPC/HTTP protocol and required switching to another protocol, called MAPI/HTTP. The MAPI/HTTP protocol was created in 2014, so while it isn't entirely new, this is the first time it's becoming required.
Switching to MAPI protocol isn't technologically difficult, but it does require a lot of work and strict adherence to Microsoft's guidelines.
People are understandably concerned about the switch, partly because companies who have already made the switch have seen an increase in the number of performance tickets.
In this technical podcast, GSX experts will help you understand how the MAPI/HTTP protocol impacts Office 365 performance, and how performance issues may arise from equipment that is not compatible with this protocol.

Historically, CFML was always a commercial solution, with only Adobe and New Atlanta selling commercial engines. BlueDragon, to which OpenBlueDragon has been forked, is the engine that is powering MySpace.com and runs both on the .NET and J2EE platforms. Now that CFML has been open sourced, with a friendly GPLv3 license, we can start doing the things with CFML that we've been dying to do for years. This includes building bundles and packages to get people up and running very fast. ElasticServer is the perfect vehicle for allowing customized bundle to be created and deploy. Open BlueDragon, was released as a GPLv3 open source project, on the 3rd of May 2008. Designed to capitalise on the popularity of the Java CFML runtime engine, by bringing together a community of users and experts to drive the future of CFML as a whole.

CBeebies' Andy Day and Mike James at the Radlett Centre
Monique Hall
Andy Day, star of Andy's Wild Adventures and BAFTA nominated BBC presenter, is performing alongside his comedy partner, Mike James. - Credit: Archant
BAFTA nominated BBC presenter and star of last year's St Albans' pantomime Andy Day is performing at the Radlett Centre next Friday, February 21.
The CBeebies TV personality joins his comedy partner Mike James for their show Andy and Mike's Tick Tock Time Machine, which sees the pair go on a time travel adventure.
While playing in the garden of their 'fun pad' they discover a door that was locked many years ago by their great, great, great grandfather Wally Bum.
Inside they find many inventions and a mysterious time machine which sends them on a quest to collect the things they need from the past and the future.
Andy, who played Dandini in the Alban Arena's production of Cinderella over Christmas, and Mike have been praised for their irrepressible sense of fun and infectious energy.
The show, which has a 2pm time slot, is suitable for children aged three and up. Tickets are £12 for adults and £10 for children and are available from http://www.radlettcentre.co.uk/What-s-On/Children/Andy-and-Mike

Q: PowerShell Invoke to get CPU usage Really frustrating because it seems to be so close to solution but can't get the last piece working.
I need to get CPU usage using C#.  PerformanceCounter is out the question because it takes forever to load the first time.  So trying to use PowerShell (System.Management.Automation.dll) to execute what looks like a simple line:
(Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor).LoadPercentage

This is C#:
var cpuUsage = powerShell.AddCommand("Get-CimInstance").AddArgument("Win32_Processor").AddCommand("LoadPercentage").Invoke();

So you can see I'm trying to pipe LoadPercentage command but it won't work.

System.Management.Automation.CommandNotFoundException: 'The term
'LoadPercentage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.'

The rest of code works.
Can anyone please spot the issue here?
Thank you in advance!

A: The issue here is that LoadPercentage is a property of the object, not a command. If you capture the result of the command and iterate through it's members, you should find what you're looking for:
var results = PowerShell.Create()
    .AddCommand("Get-CimInstance")
    .AddArgument("Win32_Processor")
    .Invoke();

foreach (var result in results)
{
    Console.WriteLine(result.Members["LoadPercentage"]?.Value);
}

CTA-Government of Canada Joint Statement on Labour-Supply Chain Issues in Trucking
Tuesday January 25, 2022 | Announcements, COVID-19, Labour/HR/Driver Shortage, News Releases
Today, the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, the Minister of Labour, the Honourable Seamus O'Regan, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, and the President of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, Stephen Laskowski, issued the following statement:
"The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on all Canadians. Within the trucking industry, the pandemic has led to unprecedented challenges. Despite these circumstances, truckers have delivered for Canadians.
"Vaccines, medications, personal protective equipment, food, and supplies continue to arrive where they need to be thanks to the efforts of our dedicated commercial truck drivers.
"The vast majority of all consumer products and food are shipped by trucks. Furthermore, the trucking industry remains vital to Canada and injects billions of dollars into the economy.
"Since the outset of the pandemic, the Government of Canada and the Canadian Trucking Alliance have engaged regularly with one another and with other key partners to identify emerging issues and mitigate disruptions. This engagement has been critical to keeping trucks moving, while also keeping Canadians safe from COVID-19.
"The Government of Canada and the Canadian Trucking Alliance both agree that vaccination, used in combination with preventative public health measures, is the most effective tool to reduce the risk of COVID-19 for Canadians, and to protect public health.
"As the pandemic continues, it remains critical that essential goods reach Canadians as quickly as possible. In fact, this is a top priority for the Government of Canada and the Canadian Trucking Alliance.
"To reach this goal, and to bolster Canada's economic recovery and long-term competitiveness, it's important to tackle two major challenges facing industry – supply chain constraints and labour shortages.
"These issues are not easy to solve, and they must be addressed by long-term strategies that will achieve real and lasting results.
"Moving forward, the Government of Canada, the Canadian Trucking Alliance and the industry at large will continue our shared dialogue on the challenges facing this sector. By working together, we are confident that we can find solutions that will help Canadians and industry alike."

The J.J. Doorhy approach to health insurance involves bringing large market solutions to small and mid-size companies.
A fully-insured health plan is the traditional way to structure an employer-sponsored health plan. With a fully-insured health plan, the company pays a premium to the insurance carrier. The premium rates are fixed for a year, based on the number of employees enrolled in the plan each month.
A level funded health plan (also known as a partially self-funded plan) is a type of health insurance plan that combines the cost savings and customization of self-funding with the financial safety and predictability of fully funded plans. Employers still contract with insurance companies, but agree to take on more of the financial risk.
A Captive is an independent insurance company created and owned by at least one non-insurance company to assume the employee benefits risks of the captive owner/owners. Incorporating a Captive into a plan strategy allows members to benefit from being owners in an insurance company. The insured also benefits from the funds remaining after all claims are paid.


Rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Harris, got a surprise when their baby girl came three weeks early on March 25, but unlike their little girl, they decided to take their time introducing her (and her name) to the world. The stars of the VH1 reality show T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle shared the details of their baby girl — including her unique baby name that has an interesting family name twist to it.
The couple waited over a week before they shared the unique name of their baby girl: Heiress. Tiny, 40, announced the name by posting this sweet photo of her "newest Blessing" as T.I. fed his newborn daughter.
In case you missed it, T.I. and Tiny's last name is Harris, which means their daughter's name is Heiress Harris. Go ahead… say that five times fast!
The couple has seven children between the two of them (which is why Tiny called this baby Lucky Seven throughout her pregnancy), and they all have powerful names.
They have two sons together named Clifford "King" Joseph Harris III and Major Philant Harris. Tiny has a daughter named Zonnique from a previous relationship. T.I. has three children from previous relationships, sons Messiah Ya'Majesty and Domani Uriah, as well as a daughter named Deyjah Imani Harris.
Short yet powerful baby names are an emerging trendy among celebrity parents. Kourtney Kardashian named her son Reign, while Kim Kardashian followed suit by naming her son Saint. It's not just the Kardashians jumping on this trend, as singer Chris Brown has a baby girl named Royalty.
Although a baby with similar sounding first and last names may raise a few eyebrows, we do like how the couple slipped in a family name in an unusual way by switching up the spelling. Baby Heiress isn't the first to have nearly the same first and last name, as Lauren Bush married David Lauren, the son of clothing designer Ralph Lauren — and she now goes by Lauren Bush Lauren. The only difference is that her first and last name are spelled the same, which makes it even more confusing.
Heiress may or may not be starting a new baby name trend, however the baby girl was excited to make her entrance, as her original due date was not until April 20, and she arrived on March 26. Tiny said she is healthy and was born weighing 5 pounds. T.I. was actually in Las Vegas performing and had to quickly jump on a plane to make it to Atlanta to see the birth of his daughter. Congratulations to the family!
