Are new-gen directors the answer to our Kollywood stars' stereotype woes?
'Pa Ranjith to direct Rajinikanth's next' — the headline was quite a surprise when it first came in 2015. They say failure feeds speculation and boy it did. After both Kochadaiyaan and Lingaa turned out to be disasters, Rajinikanth's career became a topic at the dinner table. Is the Superstar losing his touch? What is he going to do next? It was at this time Rajini announced his next with Pa.Ranjith. A director with substantial political ideologies and craft, the combination was unusually exciting. While Kabali had disappointed, one thing cannot be denied. Rajini had gotten an effective makeover — a one that is closer home. Many thought the project would be a one-off occurrence, but here they are again with Kaala. Ranjith has given yet another version of Rajini that is a whistle-worthy version of the star that is more age-appropriate.
Several stars seem to have taken a similar route to break out of the creative cages that stardom has given them. Collaborate with a younger, relatively newer pool of technicians who seem to have a newer take on stardom. Take Suriya for example. A charismatic actor with a flair and exuberance like no one else, the actor's body language changed as he started doing more serious and commercial roles. Cut to 2017, where he agrees to a film with Vignesh Shivn, again with just two films in his repertoire. Thaana Serndha Kootam helped Suriya find his youthful charm and easy-going demeanour, thanks to Vignesh's remarkable sense of humour.
A similar story unfolds in the case of Vijay as well whose collaboration with Atlee was another happy surprise. The duo's first film Theri was a blockbuster and so was Mersal. The young director smartly played to the star's strengths giving a mix that would leave Ilayathalapthy's fans happy. The pattern manifests with female stars as well. Our Lady Superstar Nayanthara's first solo hit was Ashwin Saravanan's first film Maya. Aramm, Nayanthara's biggest hit until now, was helmed by a debutante director. RS Durai Senthilkumar's third film Kodi gave Trisha a new dimension on screen. Armed with the ethnic traditions of Tamil cinema and with exposure to global cinema, new age directors seem to exactly provide the balance that our stars have been searching for; a new space in cinema that is creatively commercial.
In a watershed moment for this trend, Karthik Subbaraj has bagged Rajini's next film. A new-gen director who has three acclaimed films to his list, Karthik's film with Rajini could be his career-defining project. Adding to the momentum, Anirudh Ravichander is composing music for the film. Rumours are rife that Ajith's 59th project will be with Theeran Adhigaram Ondru fame H Vinoth. In an interview with Film Companion, directors Nithilan Swaminathan (Kurangu Bommai) and Lokesh Kanagaraj (Maanagaram) were asked how do we get a larger audience to see what we call the 'critical successes' of Kollywood. Pat comes the reply, 'we need stars to step into the area'. "Do they want the audience to scream out their name? Do they want goosebumps, whistle-worthy moments for the audiences? We can give that, but it would be in our style. We need stars to give us that space," they said. And it looks like the stars are listening.

Traditionally, my job as a bridal artist is all about accentuating features, bringing light to the face and helping my clients to feel their best.
I teamed up with Victoria Elena from Persephone Studios to get creative. We found inspiration in the Black Swan and all her grungy dark glory.
Starting with the White Swan, I found the light first. Victoria has a gorgeous fair complexion that required very little foundation. Thus, I worked more so with various white products ranging from cream to powder and matte to shine. I enjoyed playing with the different textures, layering products to create dimension despite their monochromatic nature.
But looking at my work, it felt incomplete and too pure. Thus, the gray eyeliner and the representation of imperfection.
IMPERFECTION. The true drive and theme of this photoshoot for me.
From here, I continued to deepen the darkness. Thus, the final and photographed looks.
I had so much fun drawing outside the lines. Creating imbalance. Darkness. Grunge. The complete opposite of my usual art.
The most difficult task of all for myself, was posing in front of the camera. It was hard to push aside my naturally uplifting personality to portray darkness and mystery. This is where Victoria was a true help. With her direction I was able to achieve our desired look.
For your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!


UXBRIDGE -- Since purchasing a second Xerox iGen3 at the end of last year following a period of tremendous growth, Inc Direct has further demonstrated its faith in variable one-to-one marketing by becoming the first company in Europe to invest in a site licence from XMPie, one of the leading providers of dynamic publishing software. This investment underlines the print, direct marketing and digital media company's position at the forefront of personalised direct mail in Europe. Over the past year, Inc Direct has developed its own bespoke personalisation technique using the powerful features of XMPie PersonalEffect software integrated into the Xerox FreeFlow workflow to produce personalised direct marketing collateral for companies including The Carphone Warehouse, ebookers.com, Siemens Financial Services and others.
With the new XMPie licence, Inc Direct can now take advantage of the XMPie software time and time again, as well as receive regular upgrades and purchase additional add-ons. The licence offers unique features including enhanced picture personalisation, dynamic charting to create variable pie charts useful for financial and transactional applications, web-to-print opportunities for e-commerce and cross-media campaigns and access to XMPie's programme architecture, allowing companies to build their own bespoke web portals with variable data.
"Our new XMPie site licence means that we now have the power and flexibility to speak to any customer and immediately deliver complex one-to-one direct marketing solutions, without using additional software," says Noel Warner, managing director at Inc Direct. "Customer demand has hit the roof since we installed our second Xerox iGen3 and we needed more firepower to respond. We view the licence as a future-proof investment to support our continuing growth and expansion into one-to-one marketing for our customers. Our commitment to Xerox and XMPie shows our confidence in their technology and support, as well as our belief in their ability to help us realise our strategy."
Inc Direct, based in Enfield, Middlesex, purchased its first Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press in August 2005 and its second less than six months later. Together with its XMPie software and Xerox FreeFlow, Inc Direct uses its iGen3 presses to develop and produce personalised collateral ranging from Welcome Packs for The Carphone Warehouse, to Welcome Home packs for travel company ebookers.com and customised direct mail for Siemens Financial Services. It is also currently in discussions with a number of companies about other exciting personalised, cross-media direct marketing projects.
Peter Taylor, director of graphic arts, Xerox UK said: "This is proof that Inc Direct is a formidable force in variable one-to-one marketing. With its two iGen3s and the new XMPie site licence, Inc Direct can now look forward to further developing innovative personalisation techniques to add real value to its customers. It is evidence that the right integrated workflow and print technology can help our customers capture new business and thus significantly grow digital print profit."
David Baldaro, UK sales and channel manager, XMPie said: "We are proud that Inc Direct has made such a major investment in XMPie software, it is a perfect example of a business using our tools to successfully develop its own unique personalisation technique. Inc Direct's significant growth in volumes - almost on the same scale as some of our largest US customers - made a site licence the obvious choice to enable them to maintain this growth. An important factor in their decision is our advanced business partnership with Xerox - the integration of our software with Xerox FreeFlow workflow offers a unique solution to complement the possibilities of the iGen3 presses. Many other Xerox iGen3 customers are also seeing the advantages of our software."
Inc Direct was formed five years ago in a partnership between Noel Warner and Wesley Dowding, who between them shared many years' experience in the direct mail industry. Inc Direct was set up as a direct mail and fulfillment house with a difference - a simple philosophy to provide something different to the client over and above a "normal" service, and to add value to a project at every step of the process.

Would love to see a show of his work if he loaded that camera with 4×5 tri-x for a day and printed the negatives.
I toyed with one of those cameras in the early 70's when I was a photo rookie.
Great caamera and a wonderful story. Thanks to the Times and the author who shared Louis Mendes' work with us.

Gene Editing and Human Identity: Promising Advances and Ethical Challenges

Human Genome Editing With CRISPR: Dignity and Other Faith-Based Considerations
Innovations in gene editing, and particularly CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the hallmark of a bacterial defense system that forms the basis for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology ), have the potential to treat a range of genetic conditions, but also to fundamentally alter the heritable germline. As scientists and society continue to grapple with the legal, ethical, and cultural dimensions of this rapidly shifting technology, DoSER hosted a symposium at the 2018 AAAS Annual Meeting in February on "Gene Editing and Human Identity: Promising Advances and Ethical Challenges."
Four experts expressed interest in the positive prospects and also concerns about the safety of these technologies, their potential for commodification and/or marginalization of persons, and the ways in which social inequalities could be reinforced by limited access to them.
Rice University professor of bioengineering Gang Bao opened the discussion with an introduction to CRISPR/Cas9 technology and the cutting edge work his lab conducts in pursuit of advances in the treatment of sickle cell disease using a gene correction strategy. His work has also shown that the sickle cell gene mutation in the beta-globin locus in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from SCD patients can be corrected with high efficiency, resulting in a significantly decreased amount of sickle cells.
Bao said off-target effects remain a major concern as do other safety and ethical implications of gene editing. "If we are not careful enough in treating sickle cell disease, we could induce another disease," he said.
"We should work very hard on developing gene editing to help people who are sick and we should not touch the human germline," said Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society in Berkeley, California.
Outlining issues of concern about germline editing, she said known and unknown risks in resulting children and future generations, such as off-target effects, unintended changes at targeted sites, mosaic embryos, developmental dynamics, and gene-gene interactions should be considered. She also expressed concern about societal and policy issues, such as difficulty in limiting germline editing to medical or therapeutic uses, normalizing enhancement uses, worsening discrimination and inequality, and who makes decisions about these things.
"Darnovsky concluded that germline modification would offer a social rather than a medical benefit should be evaluated using a risk benefit analysis that takes into account the small number of people who would benefit against the risks society would incur. She noted that parents at risk for having children with sing-gene disorders already have alternatives to germline editing via third-party gametes and/or preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
"Whether we're for or against germline modification, we don't want to encourage a kind of genetic determinism that oversimplifies what the role of genes is in who we are as humans," she said.

The Vatican's most recent document on bioethics, Instruction Dignitas Personae, published in 2008, states that "the dignity of a person must be recognized in every human being from conception to natural death." This is relevant for evaluating gene editing uses, said Providence College professor of biology and bioethics Father Nicanor Austriaco. Austriaco compared faith-based and secular approaches to evaluating the ethical questions, centering his talk on a discussion of human dignity.
While many faith-based traditions claim that persons have both intrinsic and extrinsic value, secular conceptions of human dignity are based in extrinsic value, he said. For example, Grundgesetz or "basic law" of Germany, adopted in response to the Holocaust, states that "The dignity of man is inviolable. To respect and protect them is a duty of all state authority." The difference, he said, is that intrinsic value refers to the inherent worth of the person as priceless and extrinsic value refers to their worth to society.
Having grown up in a Buddhist culture, Austriaco noted that not all religions adopt this framework. The account of reincarnation in Buddhism doesn't because, for example, if a mosquito could be your great-great-grandmother the intrinsic worth of a person and a mosquito are much closer.
For Christians, intrinsic dignity is based on the theological claim that human persons are made in the image of God, he said. Therefore, Christian bioethics says that all human actions need to protect, preserve, and advance both intrinsic and extrinsic human dignity. Regarding human genome editing, the question then is: will CRISPR protect and advance the dignity of the human person? "For some, human dignity means no more than respect for personal autonomy. So, personal autonomy should be the capstone for the entire ethical framework in which we are supposed to think about these kinds of issues," said Austriaco.
He questioned why autonomy should be worthy of respect. "The capacity to think and to choose are evolutionary adaptations that are not intrinsically more valuable than other adaptations," he said, such as having talons or wings. "The secular approach tends to focus primarily on an extrinsic dignity, which you can gain or lose, while a Christian approach, in addition to that, claims that there is something incredibly priceless that cannot be removed from you or given to you by anyone around you," he said.
Christopher Scott, Dalton Tomlin Chair of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, at Baylor College of Medicine served as a discussant and responded to each speaker.
First, he rhetorically asked Bao what levels of safety and risk he would be willing to tolerate in considering clinical trials if a member of his own family had sickle cell disease.
Next, he agreed with much of what Darnovsky outlined, especially regarding the potential for social inequalities to be worsened by limited access to gene editing technologies, but said he doesn't believe in prohibition of germline editing. "I don't think we should stop science that would tell you if that science is safe," said Scott. Regarding the boundary between therapy and enhancement, he added, "We struggle with these sorts of boundary issues all the time as a society and we do a pretty good job collectively of understanding where that stick in the sand is."
"We need greater levels of public engagement so that we can take discussions beyond echo chambers of experts and scientists and into communities so that we understand where communities and cultures want to go with this and what we should do next," said Scott, agreeing with a National Academies report recommendation.
Finally, he noted that discussions of human dignity arise in his work as a clinical bioethicist, saying, "I've struggled at times with separating notions of dignity and respect in literature. He landed on "aspirational dignity" or the ability to realize oneself fully as a concept that makes sense in light of this work in which patients experience a loss of such dignity. What complicates this is making decisions today that influence future generations, he said, concluding that "we need to unpack this in a systematic, rigorous way and I think the way to do that is to actually talk to the public."

Yongsan Garrison, South Korea - The 10th anniversary of the Korean Head-Start Program, hosted by Pyeongtaek University, was held at the Pierson Building at the university, Nov. 29, 2016.
The Korean Head Start program is a three-day course, conducted at Pyeongtaek University, that provides United States Forces Korea newcomers an opportunity to have an overall understanding of Korea and its local community by introducing them to a variety of elements which include Korean culture, history, politics, traditional etiquette and Korean language basics.
"The Korean Head-Start Program has been one of the major ways our Soldiers, families and civilians learn about your great nation and gain a deep appreciation of the gracious and generous culture," said Eighth Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Vandal during his congratulatory address for the 10th anniversary of the Head-Start Program. "This three-day course has allowed us to strengthen not just our military partnership, but also Eighth Army's connection with the Korean people."
According to Vandal, Eighth Army and Pyeongtaek University will try to turn the program into a five-day program to cover more material and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Korean culture to service members.
"About 15,200 people have completed the Head-Start course so far. A total of 12 professors and lots of assistants help us provide quality education to U.S. Soldiers and their families," Professor Kang Su-myung, Director of Research Center for USFK, said during the progress report of the Head-Start Program. "We are trying our best to expand this program as this has been tremendously helpful for a smooth relocation and adjustment for U.S. Soldiers."
He also mentioned approximately 60 Soldiers from Eighth Army and 30 Airmen from the Seventh Air Force come to Pyeongtaek University to participate in the program weekly.
The number of participants is expected to increase rapidly in 2017 and 2018 when USFK transitions and relocates to Pyeongtaek.
"This program contains a lot of useful information that USFK service members will actually need in order to adjust to Korea and be a part of the local community," said Professor Yun Ji-won, Chief of Institute for North and South Korea Studies.
Additionally, she emphasized the USFK service members were really satisfied learning about the causes for the national division, the current state of Korea and their roles in the ROK-U.S. alliance.
At the end of the ceremony, Lt. Gen. Vandal presented Certificates of Appreciation to four awardees and Lee Pil-jae, President of Pyeongtaek University, presented plaques of appreciation to 10 awardees for their dedication and effort to the Head-Start Program.

Put a non-coherent light source together with a semi-coherent article summary and what do you get? A new way of fighting cancer!
A group of Israeli researchers have shown how to carry out surgery using a non-coherent light source. The device could provide a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional laser surgery (Appl. Phys. Lett. 88 114104).
…In 2002, Jeffrey Gordon and colleagues at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel developed an alternative to laser surgery that focused ordinary sunlight into a narrow optical fibre using a parabolic mirror. The device can provide the same power and flux levels as lasers but solar surgery is of limited practical value because some countries are sunnier than others.
The device has a number of advantages over lasers — one is that its output contains visible wavelengths, which can penetrate more deeply into tissue than the infrared or ultraviolet radiation from lasers. Another bonus is cost: Gordon says that the system can destroy as much tissue per unit of energy as a laser, but is at least ten times cheaper. The device is also safer than conventional laser systems because the light can be seen, in contrast to lasers that operate outside visible wavelengths.
We're still getting over the line about how solar surgery's appeal was limited because "some countries are sunnier than others." That's true, yes, but it's also worth noting most operating rooms are not exactly open to the elements.
Still, we're glad the research team is no longer reliant on the sun, which has caused far more cancer than it will ever cure. And we're psyched to see visible-light beams in the OR — they're safer, penetrate deeper, and have a much bigger 'wow' factor than invisible beams.

Is letting your staff do what they want the key to happiness at work?
Studies tend to agree that autonomy is one of the key pillars of happiness in the workplace, but this can be hard to achieve unless you work for yourself or secretly read the Beano behind your boss's onerous report.
But a growing number of businesses are wising up to the idea that a happy workforce equals a productive workforce and are giving increasing agency to their workforce.
GetMyBoat.com is a boat rental marketplace with hubs all over the world. Kira Maixner, head of digital communications, says, "In addition to our San Francisco headquarters, our team is spread out across South Africa, Canada, and Nicaragua. Last year, a colleague and I were allowed to work remote from Italy and Nicaragua, respectively."

The team works using tools such as Slack, video, and phone conferencing, and even shared Google docs. Sure, scheduling can be a bit difficult, says Maixner, "but it always works out in the end. Since 2013, we've thrived with a remote team, growing our marketplace to 64,000 boats in 171 countries. We are able to hire some of the best talent in the industry because of the flexibility afforded by our COO, Bryan Petro." For Maixner, "Having the ability to work remote from another country gives me the best of both worlds, it's 'bleisure' at its finest. By day I have the stability and routine that having a full-time position allows, yet, in my spare time, I am able to explore different cultures and countries."
Of course autonomy means that Maixner has to be diligent about managing her schedule to complete projects but, she says, "it also gives me a sense of self-management and independence that I don't necessarily feel while working in a traditional workplace".

Luke Hughes is co-founder of personal training course provider Origym. He says, "In my experience staff are at their happiest when they are not micro managed or have a very ridged set of tasks that they must adhere to on a daily basis. Every employee wants to feel valued and feel like they are making a difference, which is why placing overall goals rather than breaking every single task down and enforcing time-based objectives is important."
Origym has certain fixed days for staff but for the most part they come in any time between 8am and 8pm. Says Hughes, "We all function differently. Some people are early risers and other prefer a lie-in, whatever makes them more productive".
Adrian Harvey, founder of learning and development company Elephants Don't Forget, works on the assumption that his staff know what has to be done and when the client deadlines are. "They are all smart and all adults and we tell them to work their life around work and work their work around their life. So our account director won't travel on Monday or Friday as she has better things to do than sit in traffic for hours. So long as the work gets done and the customers are happy, I'm happy."
Harvey adds, "If somebody needs a haircut or wants to hit the gym at 10.30 then do, but take responsibility and make sure service delivery is still excellent and that you as an individual get your work done." He applies this to his own work too: "I went to see my kids play rugby one Friday afternoon instead of completing a client report due for Monday. I did the report Saturday morning instead."
It's almost a no-brainer for a business owner as it results in better employee engagement: "Everybody on the team puts in more hours than we directly compensate them for because they want to and they care, but at the same time, we are really generous with holiday and give six weeks and the directors man the phones over Christmas."
It works at Elephants Don't Forget, says Harvey, because everyone is on board with what's expected. Thus, insightful recruitment is key. However, he warns, "though it may sound cool and enviable, to be honest it takes a very disciplined person to work like this. It's not for everybody. Some people simply can't operate without clear and highly structured operating environments."

Tough Talk Aside, How Serious Are Republicans About Fighting Terrorism?
The Great Right-Wing Propaganda Machine has kicked into high gear in the aftermath of Joe Lieberman's loss to Ned Lamont. Fox News, Limbaugh, Hannity, and their ilk would have us believe that Lamont's victory in the primary Tuesday is nothing short of a victory for Al-Qaeda.
You gotta hand it to the Republicans: they know how to talk a good talk when it comes to terrorism. But when it comes to actually fighting terrorism, they're AWOL.
The fact is almost five years after 9/11, America remains startlingly vulnerable to another major terror attack. Consider:
1. Currently, less than 5 percent of the cargo that enters the U.S. is being physically inspected these days. Last year, two teams of government investigators, using fake documents, were able to enter the country with enough radioactive sources to make two dirty bombs. (If only Bush would devote more attention to this crisis than to preventing our nation's seniors from importing affordable medications from Canada).
2. The nation's hazardous chemical plants (an obvious target if there ever was one) remain unsecured, despite the fact that a terror attack on these facilities could lead to tens of thousands of deaths.
3. Amazingly, the vast majority of airliner passengers' carry-on bags are still not being screened for explosives.
4. Air marshals remain absent from the majority of flights. Indeed, the Federal Air Marshals Service is riddled with problems these days, according to recent reports.
Is it possible that for all his tough talk, Bush doesn't take fighting terrorism seriously? You bet.
Some of us have suspected this is the case since at least Aug. 6, 2001. That day, as you may recall, is the day that Bush was handed a classified President's Daily Brief (PDB) that was titled, "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S." Bush, on a month-long vacation at the time, declined to take any action and went fishing later that same day.
If that didn't convince you that Bush is lax on fighting terrorism, then recall how after 9/11, Bush inexplicably gave Bin Laden a two-month head start in Afghanistan before he sent the military to pursue him. No wonder Bin Laden roams free to this day.
But don't take my word for it that Bush is a failure on fighting terrorism. Ask the former Sept. 11 Commission (appointed by Bush, no less) which stated in a December report that the U.S. is not adequately protected from another terrorist attack. The former commission (which was chaired by Republican Thomas Kean) issued a report charged the Bush White House with failing to protect the country against another terrorist attack.
It's true, there have been some changes for securing America since 9/11. But most of these changes have been little more than window dressing, (such as the high-profile, but ultimately meaningless "Color Coded" alerts).
Real, substantive changes in America's terror-fighting capabilities are deemed "too expensive" by the White House. This, incidentally is the reason given for why air marshals aren't present on all flights these days. (I wonder, though, how many air marshals we could hire for the price of what we spend in a typical month embroiled in a civil war in Iraq, a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11).
If you follow the money (or the oil), you can invariably find out where Bush's real priorities are these days. And it doesn't have a damn thing to do with fighting terrorism.
Recall, how early on in the U.S. occupation of Iraq, America's military raced to secure the Oil Ministry, while leaving Iraq's massive arms depots untouched across the country. Note also that munitions from those same arms depots have been used by the insurgency since then to kill thousands of our soldiers, as well as Iraqi civilians.
Iraq is a titantic catastrophe that has seriously distracted America during a crucial time and has degraded our ability to fight an effective war on terrorism. Despite this, the GOP is brazenly working to transform the Iraq fiasco into a positive asset for the upcoming elections. If the Democrats allow the GOP to get away with this astonishing propaganda, they deserve to lose in November.
Posted by Marc McDonald at 12:07 AM
Picture this scenario: Let's say Clinton was president on Aug. 6, 2001. Let's say Clinton had been handed that PDB and had ignored it and gone fishing. The Great GOP Propaganda Machine would have kicked into high gear that "9/11 was all Clinton's fault because he ignored the PDB warning." The GOP noise machine would have forced the MSM to make this a front page issue, day after day. Clinton, of course, would have been impeached and imprisoned for his criminal neglect and the Democratic Party would have been finished as a political force in America.
For Bush, terrorism is not a problem--rather it's an opportunity to be exploited for partisan gain.

Reginald de Braose (19 September 1182 – June 1228) was one of the sons of William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber and Matilda, also known as Maud de St. Valery and Lady de la Haie. Her other children included William and Giles.

The de Braoses were loyal to King Richard I but grew in power under King John of England. The dynasty was in conflict with King John towards the end of his reign and almost lost everything.

Reginald de Braose was a scion of the powerful Marcher family of de Braose, helped manage its survival and was also related by marriage to the Welsh Princes of Wales.

Magna Carta

He supported his brother Giles de Braose in his rebellions against King John. Both brothers were active against the King in the Barons' War. Neither was present at the signing of Magna Carta in June 1215 because at this time they were still rebels who refused to compromise.

Restoration of royal favour

King John acquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. Reginald became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and held other Marcher Lordships but was also very much a vassal of the Welsh leader Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd who had become his father-in-law in 1215 when Reginald married Llywelyn's daughter, Gwladus Ddu.

King Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated by King John) in 1217.

Welsh wars

At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's Welsh nephews who were princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and took Builth, except the castle. Llywelyn Fawr also became angry and his forces besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinhenydd (Swansea).

By 1221 they were at war again, with Llewelyn again laying siege to Builth. The siege was relieved by King Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John de Braose concerning the de Braose lands in Wales.

Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by King Henry III in 1225.

He died two or three years later in 1227 or 1228 in Brecon and was succeeded by his son by his first wife, Graecia Briwere (or Brewer), daughter of William Brewer. He was buried in Brecon Priory Church (now Brecon Cathedral).

Reginald and Graecia had a son, William de Braose, who was executed by Llewellyn Fawr, King of Gwynedd, upon being caught in the bedchamber of Joan, Lady of Wales.

It may be that the Matilda de Braose who was the wife of Rhys Mechyll, Prince of Deheubarth was the daughter of Reginald.

Amazon touting 50,000 open roles at national jobs fair
Patrick Semansky/AP
Amazon announced on Wednesday 50,000 open positions across its nationwide fulfillment network, and that it is opening up 10 of its fulfillment centers on August 2 for a "jobs day," where prospective workers can participate in information sessions and tours of the facilities. The firm plans "to make thousands of on-the-spot job offers" to candidates who apply in person at fulfillment centers participating in the jobs fair, like those in Baltimore, Maryland; Hebron, Kentucky; and Kent, Washington.
Why it matters: Six months ago, when Amazon pledged to hire 100,000 workers for full-time positions, it was positioning itself to succeed in hiring the best workers in an increasingly tight labor market. The decision has proved prescient, as since that time the unemployment rate has fallen from 4.8% to 4.4%, while the number of American workers who have part-time jobs but want full time work has fallen 10%.

'Bitcoin Browser' Brave Raises $4.5M, Readies for 1.0 Launch
Brave, a new Bitcoin-based browser that's looking to change the game with micropayments, revenue-sharing and better security, has announced raising $4.5 million USD in a seed round investment from leading VC firms including Digital Currency Group.
Also read: US Slowly Going Cash-Free, But Where's the Bitcoin?
$7M to Build a Better Browser
Brave Software, a start-up reinventing the browser as a user platform for speed, privacy, and micropayments, announced today that it has raised a $4.5 million seed round investment from leading venture capital firms and angel investors. Participating in the round are Founders Fund's FF Angel, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital, and Digital Currency Group.
Dan Morehead
"We are proud to partner with Brave," Jay Reinemann, Partner at Propel Venture Partners, said. "We believe in their mission to fix the browsing experience and are excited Brave is using the blockchain to better support publishers and pay users."
This round of funding will be allocated towards platform development and growth. This brings the total amount of funding to date to $7 million USD with previous angel funding from private investors.
Dan Morehead, CEO of Pantera Capital, added:
Pantera is thrilled to be partnering with Brave to bring an enhanced user experience, privacy, and security to the browser. Brave is bringing an innovative model where users and publishers can get paid in real-time micropayments using the blockchain. We believe that Brendan and his team are best suited to execute on this vision.
Brave New Vision
Brave is a new open source browser for desktop and mobile that blocks invasive ads and online trackers to provide a faster and safer web experience. Unlike traditional browsers, Brave has a built-in ad-blocker (no extensions needed), which means faster page loading time and performance as well as protection against ads infected with malware.
"The amount of information that online advertisers are able to gather without consent is staggering," explains Cyan Banister, Partner at Founders Fund. "As more people become aware of these threats to their privacy, there will be huge demand for Brave's technology."
On the desktop, Brave provides a 40% to 60% speed increase, and a 2x to 4x speed increase on mobile devices. Mobile users see a direct reduction in both battery and data plan consumption. Brave also protects users with privacy and security features such as HTTPS Everywhere to encrypt data traffic, fingerprinting shields, phishing protection, malware filtering, and script blocking.
Brave is partnering with BitGo and Coinbase to provide wallets and purchasing tools for the Brave Ledger, a new Bitcoin-based micropayments system that automatically and anonymously pays users' favorite websites. Brave also will allow users and publishers to opt into a better, privacy-preserving ad model that shares revenue with users as well as publishers.
"Online advertisers have been exploiting user data for years without consent, sometimes even infecting devices with malware. It's no wonder that 200 million users worldwide have adopted ad-blocking to defend themselves. Viewing content on the Internet should not come at the expense of one's safety," said Brendan Eich, President and CEO of Brave Software. "The Brave solution fends off intrusive ads and stops the collection of personal details by third parties, enhancing not just browsing speed, but security and privacy. With Brave, users can now fight back and keep their data private and defensible on their devices, while still supporting the content they wish to view via micropayments."
Brave is currently available in developer version, and will launch its 1.0 release in September 2016. Brave is available for download for mobile devices (iOS and Android), as well as the following desktop platforms: MacOS, Windows (32 bit and 64 bit), and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE).

We're fast approaching the peak season for red lipstick—holiday party time. To help you get acquainted with your very best shade of the classic hue, we've compiled some Instagram and red carpet inspiration from our favorite actresses, models, and music makers. Test out one of these bold lipstick looks yourself at your next fete to spread joy (and major makeup envy).
Stefani can be considered the official red-lip ambassador because you'll rarely catch her in any other shade. She kept it current on the set of "The Voice" by juxtaposing a contemporary hairstyle with retro-chic makeup effects.
Cara is the personification of our #browgoals, but she also knows how to rock a red lip. Here, Delevingne teamed her crimson pout with a smudged eye look.
The reality star and major model took a break from the runway to party with Derek Blasberg. For the after-five occasion, she chose a sculpted red lip (her signature Estée Lauder shade, perhaps?) and super defined lashes.
Easily the high priestess of the ruby lip, Taylor Swift dons the look almost as often as she does her signature winged eyeliner. The color has become her go-to on stage and on the red carpet.
Chastain slicked on a sultry, sheer red lip for her "Crimson Peak" red-carpet appearance. It lends a classic vibe to her Veronica Lake waves and subtly lined lids.
The actress brought the glamour to "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" with a red lip and matching one-shouldered dress.
Adams' doesn't believe that redheads should avoid a red lip. Next to her glossy, side-parted waves, this matte tomato mouth makes her fair complexion really glow.
The Barbadian songbird's love of a rouge lip is so intense, she penned a song called (what else?) "Red Lipstick." She also partnered with beauty behemoth MAC Cosmetics on her own ravishing, limited-edition shade called Riri Woo.
In an epic tribute to "Troop Beverly Hills," Chung punctuated her girl scout outfit (scoutfit?) with a scarlet swipe of lipstick.
For this year's SAG Awards, Stone made a graphic statement with neon-red lips that offset her chic, black gown.
The Korean actress paired her pretty pout with a fashion-forward jersey. The glossy finish elevated the sportswear to dressy casual status.
Precision is the key to Lily's red lip look. She added highlighter just above the cupid's bow to give her pout added emphasis.
At this year's Met Gala, Selena accessorized her all-white ensemble with a layer of Elizabeth Arden Bold Red lipstick.


Hi! I was just wondering about the order of execution of the shaders in UE4? By shader I mean the actual text files with the .usf file extension.
What do you mean by order? There is no definable order of the USF's. They are used depending on different situations. ie. The LocalVertexFactory usf would be used when rendering an object that uses the specified factory. Where as the DepthOfField shaders are used during post processing.
Yes, but in the actual source, where does execution start. I haven't found a 'main' function yet.
Ah I see. Well for Vertex Factory shaders you will find the Main in the BasePassVertexShader, BasePassPixelShader USF. As for other shaders, such as Post Process, do a search through the Engine source code for IMPLEMENT_SHADER_TYPE, The 2nd variable will tell u the USF, the third variable the Entry Point.

Main / Articles: HP to quit DC biz in Asia-Pacific region
Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced yesterday that the company is to withdraw its digital camera (DC) business from the Asia-Pacific region, and focus on the household photo printing market.
"The strategy adjustment will enable us to concentrate our investment so as to bring the maximum business return, as well as providing valuable services to customers," HP (China) Ltd said in an statement available to China Daily yesterday.
However, the timing of the DC pull-out in the region will vary from country to country, in line with local distribution situations and the life cycle of the digital cameras.
"We will continue to sell our DC products in the Chinese market as it is still quite competitive. But we are not going to launch any new products onto the market," it said.
HP ensured yesterday that its existing DC users would continue to have a first-class warranty service.
"Also, we are going to build up alliances with other DC makers and handset makers to enable our customers to enjoy end-to-end digital imaging solutions," it said.
"In spite of the adjustment, there will be only small job losses."
In another development, HP stated yesterday that it would continue to enhance its DC business in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
"We have reaped success in these areas, and enjoyed sustainable development," it said.
Analysts believed that HP's pull-out is the result of fierce competition in the Asia-Pacific region.
"In the Chinese market, for example, competition is becoming increasingly ferocious," said Dai Churong, an analyst with China Securities.
Competition is from both international and domestic digital camera makers, including Canon, Sony, Kodak, Olympus, Nikon and Lenovo.
HP knifed into China's digital camera market in July last year with the introduction of the Photosmart R707, its first digital camera in China.
Back in July 2004, HP was confident in its ability to establish a strong stake in the Chinese consumer electronics market. It claimed this was due to it being "a unique company" which provided a full line of products.
"I believe HP's withdrawal is no surprise, as it realized that the profit margins from digital cameras are becoming razor thin," Dai said.
Figures showed that the average price of a compact digital camera will decline 15 per cent this year, and is expected to drop another 15 per cent next year.
Dai also believed that the spread of mobile phones equipped with powerful cameras is also a threat, as some consumers feel they do not need to buy a separate digital camera.
Analysts also believe HP's withdrawal from the Asia-Pacific region is in line with HP's latest plan, released last month, to simplify its structure, reduce costs and place greater focus on its customers.
The company expects these actions will save US$1.9 billion annually, driving growth and increasing business performance.
The programme simplifies HP's structure by embedding sales and marketing efforts directly into the business units, providing a tighter link with customers.
It cuts expenditure by restructuring support functions and eliminating redundancies, thus freeing funds for reinvestment in the business.
"After a thorough review of our business, we have formulated a plan that will enable HP to begin delivering its full potential," said Mark Hurd, HP chief executive officer and president.
HP's sales revenues reached US$83.3 billion during the past four fiscal quarters ending April 30.
