Dream job? BRP looks to hire 'Chief of Adventure'
By: Nick Longworth July 13, 2021
As if the competition for competent employees weren't strong enough already, we'll go ahead and file this listing under "dream job" posting.
BRP recently announced it will be hiring a "Chief of Adventure" – a contractor position that will embark on an all-expenses paid (plus a $50k salary), six-month, cross-country road trip to "experience all of the incredible Uncharted Society adventures and capture epic content."
For six months, the Chief of Adventure will travel to each Uncharted Society location (on a road trip of their planning) in an RV provided by BRP. They will engage with local outfitters, guests, media, and the BRP team to celebrate all that is the ultimate in outdoor adventure.
"We are thrilled to begin the search for our new Chief of Adventure," said Simon Cazelais, Director of Uncharted Society at BRP in the announcement. "We are focused on providing our customers and guests with unforgettable experiences, and we can't wait to grant the newest member of the team the ultimate experience of a lifetime."
Launched last summer, Uncharted Society offers more than 40 expertly curated experiences using BRP powersports vehicles in the United States. Guests of Uncharted Society engage in packaged experiences on Sea-Doo personal watercraft, Can-Am Off-Road and On-road vehicles, and Ski-Doo snowmobiles, giving them the ability to own the moment without having to own the ride. By making these experiences accessible, easy and affordable, BRP aims to increase access to BRP vehicles, introducing a new generation to the thrill of powersports.
Ideal candidates will have a passion for adventure and the outdoors and are eager to live the Uncharted life. They are confident with photo, video, and media work, ideally with an audience of their own to share content with. Beyond living the Uncharted life, they will also truly embody it, representing the brand at each location with enthusiasm, energy, a sociable nature and insatiable desire to try new things. The chosen Chief of Adventure will also be able to bring a plus one along, as BRP knows adventures are best shared with good company.

The purchase of a first home is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming process, and many first-time buyers find that working with an agent makes the process go much more smoothly. If you're an agent who'd like to tap into this unique buyer segment, we have some tips on how to target them and increase your business!
Tip #1: Know the home buying process. Because the people you're working with have never had the experience of buying a home before, sit down with them and inform them of what to expect. Doing this before helping them to become pre-qualified or showing them any homes will ensure that they understand how everything works. Managing expectations from the beginning will set your buyers at ease and save everyone time in the long run!
Tip #2: Know the world of pre-qualification. Many people embarking upon the journey of first-time home ownership may not realize that pre-qualification is the first step. Though it's simple and straight-forward, you'll want to ensure that your buyers know what to expect and that you can answer any questions they have. Once they know their budget, it will help set their minds at ease to know that they're looking at properties they can actually afford.
Tip #3: Know first-time homebuyer programs. Howard Hanna offers many programs to help make the American Dream of homeownership a reality. From the Apartment Dweller's Trade-In program to the First-Time Home Buyer's program, Howard Hanna has thought of everything! Know the resources that will make purchasing a home easier for your buyer.
Tip #4: Know how to be social. Younger buyers, who are typically looking for their first home, are more likely to use the internet, and use it more frequently, than older buyers. According to the NAR Profile of Buyers and Sellers, 90% of home searches start online, and you want to be top of mind when that young buyer starts to search for a home. An easy way to do this is being active on social media. No need to be an expert in all things social; start with Facebook and LinkedIn. Post relevant, interesting content with frequency, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a social media superstar!
First-time homebuyers make up 32% of the market, per the National Association of Realtors, making them the largest homebuying segment. It's a worthy investment to learn how to work with these special buyers, because if you play your cards right, you may have made a customer for life!

Song: Use Me (Live, Bonus)
Album: Take It To The Limit Genres: Hard Rock
She wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire.
She says she loves me, but I know she's a liar.
The sex is good, but God she's got no desire.
That's alright, she's takin' me home tonight.
She's kind of cold, but yet she's hot on the outside.
Last night got nasty and I'm still kind of tongue tied.
I hate to say it, but she brings out my sick side.
She's got whole lot of love (Any way you want it)
But it's never enough
(Finish what you started)
Take me to heaven above
(And leave me brokenhearted)
But I won't be a fool and fight it.
She's gonna use me but I like it. Yeah, yeah.
I bet she's wonderin' if I'm worth her while.
She's judge and jury and she's got me on trial.
But I ain't sweatin' cause I'm first on the speed dial.
Yeah, that's right, she's takin' me home tonight.
She always leaves and makes me feel kind of sleazy.
It's kind of cool because she already pleased me.
I'm lying here just thinking this is too easy.
She's got a whole lot of love
(Anyway you need it)
But I've run out of luck
(Now she says she leaving)
Leavening me in the dust (But that's OK, we're leaving)
She's gonna use me but I like it. (Like it)
I think I might go with the safe bet this time.
Leaving me in the dust
(But that's OK we're leaving)
And darling I just can't deny it.
Because you use me and I like it. (Like it)
Like it. (Like it.)
Yeah, yeah.

Avatar 2's Real Box Office Test Is Yet to Come
And yet, Cameron's previous successes at the capturing the all-time records never played the game of Marvel movies or modern Disney-owned Star Wars pictures which, generally speaking, aim for front-loaded openings that make the biggest splash. Rather both 1997's Titanic and the original Avatar opened relatively mildly for a blockbuster of their eras (sounds familiar) and then… just sat at the top of the box office. For weeks and months, with small diminishing drops weekend-on-weekend as audiences kept returning to the spectacle.
For further context, in its second weekend Titanic opened to $28.6 million on Dec. 19, 1997 (likely taking a hit due to opening opposite the second Pierce Brosnan James Bond picture, Tomorrow Never Dies) and then increased its box office in its second weekend by 23.8 percent, grossing $35.5 million in the days after Christmas. The weekend after that, it dropped a meager six percent while still grossing a healthy $33.3 million. And on, and on it played, not falling from the No. 1 spot in the U.S. until the weekend of April 3, 1998.
Similarly, 2009's Avatar opened a lot smaller than the then-highest grossing superhero movies, with the opening weekend records being owned by Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million) and then The Dark Knight ($158.4 million). In comparison, Avatar's $77 million premiere looked modest. Nonetheless, in its second weekend of release (which included Christmas Day), Avatar dropped an absurdly modest 1.8 percent, grossing $75.6 million. The weekend after that, it fell only 9.4 percent more, still earning $68.5 million.
On and on it went until it claimed the highest grossing record from Titanic.
Now, thanks to Cameron, the bar for Avatar: The Way of Water's success is high—if not the highest grossing film of all time then becoming only the sixth movie to ever gross more than $2 billion globally. However, the first real test is not its opening weekend but its second weekend where box office observers will be waiting in baited breath to see if it can pull off something as miraculous as the first film and drop only a handful of percentage points—or incredulously increase its grosses as Titanic did. And then it would need to do so again during its third weekend.
The harbingers in this regard are hard to read, however. According to the widely respected industry pollsters at CinemaScore, audiences gave Avatar: The Way of Water an "A" CinemaScore, which is glowing. However, it is less shiny than Spider-Man: No Way Home's "A+" CinemaScore from last year, the latter of which signaled near unanimous adoration from movie audiences—not that it prevented Spidey from dropping 67.5 percent in its second weekend and 33.7 percent in its third.

When you have user-generated content or a product inventory to scale, creating custom content might not be your biggest concern (exceptions apply). But when you create all the content yourself, you usually swim in very competitive waters. You need an edge over your competitors and make the most out of each organic click you get.
The question is "how do you get an edge?" and for the answer, we need to take a quick step back for a second.
How can we use entities for content optimization?
I remember when keyword density was the strongest ranking factor in SEO. Nowadays, hearing the "keyword density" makes people shake like wizards in Harry Potter when they hear the name "Voldemort". Google did well in demoting keyword stuffy content and not even the worst SEO charlatans would recommend keyword stuffing anymore.
Today, content optimization means writing "relevant" text and copy with optimized headings, titles, adding images and videos, and providing a great user experience. Ignoring how fuzzy some of these concepts are for a moment (and leaving that topic for a future article), we've come a long way from keyword stuffing. Successful content strategies have shifted from quantity to quality.
Now, there's an additional quality factor of good content that the SEO community slowly retrieves: entities.
But what exactly are entities, how do you use them to create and improve content, and how much sense that make?
Entities are semantic, interconnected objects that help machines to understand explicit and implicit language. In simpler terms, they are words (nouns) that represent any type of object, concept, or subject.
Entities are nouns like events, ideas, people, places, etc.
According to Cindy Krum and her fantastic entity series, Google seems to restructure its whole approach to indexing based on entities (while you're at it, read AJ Kohn's article about embeddings). Understanding entities and how Google uses them in search sharpens our standards for content creation, optimization, and the use of schema markup.
An entity-based index is easier to shift away from backlinks, or at least a helpful layer on top of it.
Strong foundation for voice search and grouping brand assets (apps, sites, etc.).
A deeper understanding of language, especially concepts.
An easier transition to becoming a discovery engine.
Entities provide the foundation for Knowledge Graph, which in itself is a big piece of the puzzle in Google's transition from search to discovery engine. Knowledge Graph is the most visible touch point between users and entities and contains more and more search features that take away clicks from websites. Just think of the Knowledge Card tabs Google plans to show, as described in my article about Google's transition linked above.
Each entity has attributes that describe the entity. They help providing more context by enriching the context of the entity. A person, for example, has an age, a name, a birthday, etc. You can check attributes on Wikidata.
Let's go through an example: the moon. Wikidata mentions that it's the "only natural satellite of Earth" and also known as "Luna".
To my fascination, Google pulls a lot of information from Wikidata, for example, the image.
We know that Google pulls information like the description from WIkipedia, but also resources like Freebase, DMOZ, and others. You can find them all listed on the Wikidata page.
The indicator for Google using Freebase (or having used) is provided by the freebase URLs redirecting to the Google search results for that entity.
In fact, according to the Freebase API, which is now deprecated, the Freebase dataset was based on Wikidata.The strong connection between Google's Knowledge Graph and Wikidata is something we as SEOs need to pay more attention to.
Another benefit of entities for Google is an easier shift away from the link graph to organize the index. Google relied and still relies on links between pages (actually URLs) to find and rank the most relevant content. The entity graph makes it easier to understand the quality of content better and thus, shift away from links. Sorting results based on references, i.e. backlinks, was a great step forward for the internet but Google can't rest on that forever. I'm not claiming Google wants to get rid of links as a quality signal, just that entities provide an additional graph to lay over the link graph.
As far as we know, Google uses a technology called Word2Vec to map entities to a graph and give them a unique ID. It can perform exact calculations and understand the relationship between words to a point that highlights abstract concepts and allows for mathematical calculations with words.
Speaking of graphs, language is another hurdle that can be overcome with the entity graph. From personal experience, I see Google still struggles to get content in different languages right. But a computational approach to words allows to solve this issue and understand what the equivalent word in each language is and means. That's what makes entities language-agnostic.
We must assume that entities have a user intent assigned to them, at least temporarily. It's clear when they come with an intent-indicating modifier like "buy" ("buy iPhone") but since single entities are mostly nouns, the intent is often unclear or mixed. As such, entities have a demand (search volume) that can change over time or be seasonal. These are all important factors we need to take into account when looking at entities. The time when SERPs were static are over.
How does schema markup come into play? It's a "dictionary" for Google to understand how entities are used, what they are, and how to show them in the SERPs. Using Schema Markup is an annotation of source code, which might result in better-looking snippets in the search results but does help Google recognize entities and their relationships.
That being understood, here's an attempt at applying entities to content creation and optimization.
Let me be straight upfront: I don't think we can go beyond using entities as a guide to create and optimize content, but not yet as tool that delivers hard data. I do think that several SEO tool vendors will find a way to quantify the relevant coverage of one or several entities in content, but we're not there, yet.
Let me list a couple of caveats before we dive deeper.
First, be aware that we don't know for sure how much weight Google gives entities as a quality signal for content. The algorithm updates we saw in 2018 and 2019 seem to be strongly connected to an improved understanding of language for Google, as described by AJ Kohn in the article I linked above.
Second, content is by far not the only quality signal (think: ranking factor) out there. Google uses hundreds of factors to rank results. So, it's not like you "fix your entities and rank #1".
Third, this approach helps discover topics you're not covering or should write about. It's easy to get lost in words when looking at entities but what you're really trying to get at is what greater topics and sub-topics you should be covering in your content.
That being said written, the thought process is that good-ranking content must cover more (relevant) entities than content that doesn't rank well. Thus, if we can reverse engineer what entities the best ranking content covers, we can improve our own.
To assess entities of a page, we can use Google's Natural Language Processing API, either through the API or by simply copying/pasting content into the demo feature on the landing page.
The report you get back contains a couple of metrics but the one you should be paying attention to the most is "Salience", which measures the relevance of an entity in its context. In plain words, Salience says how important the entity is within the text you analyze. So, focus on entities with higher salience within content that ranks well to inform your content creation and optimization.
What I found is that no URL was superior in terms of the amount or salience of entities in relation to its ranking. In plain words, I wasn't able to detect entities making the difference here.
Is that result surprising? No! As I explained in the caveats, SEO is multifactorial and there could be many factors at play. Also keep in mind that this was just one query I checked. In a real study, we'd have to look at thousands of queries and see if there's a statistically significant correlation between entity coverage and rank.
Identify the topic you want to write about and the main query you want to rank for.
Take the top 5 ranking URLs for the main query and plug their content into Google's NLP API.
Look for links to Wikipedia for entities with high salience and extract valuable information from the Wikipedia page.
Collect the top 20 unique entities from each text with the highest salience in the NLP API.
Make sure those entities are covered (well) in your content.
Search for the main entity on Wikidata and look for attributes.
When covering entities in your content, you want to make sure you cover them from the right angle depending on the user intent for that article. Ask yourself "what is the user trying to accomplish" and following up to that "what is the angle on an entity that would help her/him accomplish that?". Most often, you'll come out with attributes that are more important than others in the context of the article you're writing. Say, you're writing about Larry Page's wealth. You would then want to cover attributes like his net worth, positions held, etc. Questions, for example from answerthepublic or Google Suggest, as complementary data source can help finding the right angle.
However, entity-optimization is the next level of content quality.

The Great Torrington Collection of Portraits will be integral to the interior refurbishment of the Town Hall. When restored the portraits, which at present can be viewed in the museum, will be hung on the walls of the assembly room and gallery. They will give the room a sense of splendour, fitting for important functions and local events.
One of the first interior considerations for the Buildings Preservation Trust, was an appraisal of The Portrait Collection guided by Mrs Cilla Bangay. Sotheby's was asked to view the pictures and give their opinion on the quality of the paintings and background knowledge of the artists and subjects. The specialist was most interested in the collection as a whole, commenting that it is rare to see such a collection in a small town. She noted the beautiful frames on several of the portraits and the representation of artists with links to the West Country. One painting in particular took her attention, the portrait of John Rolle Walter, attributed to the School of Pompeo Batoni, a well known Italian portrait artist of the 18th Century. A torch was called for and a close inspection made of the brushwork, particularly on the fur collar. There was a frisson of excitement that a discovery was being made.
Sotheby's decided they needed authentication, but felt that this was a painting by Pompeo Batoni himself, not merely a copy. A photograph was sent to the United States for the opinion of Dr. Edgar Peters Bowron, the international Batoni expert. A few weeks later we were delighted to find that we were in the possession of an original work by Pompeo Batoni, which had hung in a dark corner of the museum for almost a century. Moreover a sketch of the head is exhibited in The Statens Museum in Copenhagen, titled 'Portrait of a Gentleman'. This was an important discovery for Sotheby's and Dr. Edgar Peters Bowron, not only to find a 'lost' Batoni but to be able to identify the unknown gentleman. We were thrilled to know we have this picture in the Torrington Collection.
The Town and Alms Lands Trustees ('Town Trust'), who are custodians of the picture collection, have since sent the portrait to Bristol for restoration. The photograph shows work on the painting 50% complete. The portrait was afterwards displayed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery until December 2007.
In 2007 the whole collection was reviewed and valued by experts from Christies who confirm their authenticity and importance. The 'Town Trust' has now agreed that 3 of the portraits can be sold to provide additional funding for the Town Hall Project. The Batoni portrait was put up for auction at Christies in London on 6.12.08 with a reserve of £300,000. However, at the very last moment it was withdrawn to allow the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) of Exeter to raise money to purchase it by private treaty. This was achieved in October with the aid of The Art Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund and from their own resources. The purchase price was recently paid to the 'Town Trust' and is now available for the Town Hall Project. A very significant boost to our funding.
The portraits of Denys Rolle (1720-1797) by Sir Thomas Hudson and his son Lord John Rolle (1750-1842) by Sir Thomas Lawrence PRA are also being offered for private sale. Recently there has been some encouraging progress on this.
All will be replaced by full scale photographic facsimiles to preserve the integrity of the collection. Arrangements are in hand to replace the Batoni fairly soon when a suitable frame can be found.
Batoni, Pompeo (1708-1787)
Italian painter, who became famous throughout Europe for his classicising portraits, especially of British travellers to Rome, a genre in which he achieved spectacular success.
Hudson, Thomas (1701-1779)
Born in Devon, Hudson's early life remains obscure. He trained under the successful portrait painter Jonathon Richardson (1665-1745), later marrying his daughter. He was know for his style of solid portraiture in the grand-manner. he shared his time between London and his native Devon, also working in fashionable Bath.
Lawrence, Sir Thomas (1769-1830)
Born in Bristol, Thomas Lawrence was one of the foremost English portrait painters of his day. A child prodigy, he was largely self taught, although he spent some time at the Royal Academy of Arts. He succeeded Sir Joshua Reynolds as principal painter to George III, who knighted Lawrence in 1815. Lawrence was made a member of the Royal Academy in 1794 and served as president of the academy from 1820-1830. With Reynolds and Gainsborough, it is said he represents the apex of English portrait painting.
Cosway, Richard (1742-1821)
Born in Devon, Richard Cosway received his artistic training in London and was a painter of miniatures. Having gained the friendship of the Prince of Wales, later King George IV, Cosway was appointed court painter. He painted members of the Royal Family and aristocrats of both England and France.

Epipa
Epipa, Colombia
December, the first month of the winter, in Epipa, is still a hot month, with average temperature ranging between max 30.7°C (87.3°F) and min 24.1°C (75.4°F).
December is the coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and an average low-temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F).
The average heat index is appraised at a torrid 38.3°C (100.9°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature', 'apparent temperature', 'feels like', or 'real feel', is a measure that combines both air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional factors like metabolic differences, differences in body mass, height, and shape, pregnancy, and activity influence one's weather impression. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
In December, the average relative humidity is 75%.
In Epipa, Colombia, during 19.8 rainfall days, 50mm (1.97") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 234.1 rainfall days, and 740mm (29.13") of precipitation is accumulated.
December has the shortest days of the year in Epipa, with an average of 11.4h of daylight.
In Epipa, the average sunshine is 7.9h.
January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. Months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against the skin and eye damage is required. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.

Thickeners, or thickening agents, are added to foods and liquids to make them thicker. These thickeners can be used in beverages as well as added to pureed foods to help create a uniform texture. Thickeners come in both powdered and liquid forms. In Canada, the two most common types of thickeners are starch based and xanthan gum based.
ThickenUp® ClearTM from Nestlé Health Science is an example of a xanthan gum-based thickening powder.
Why use a xanthan gum thickener?
Xanthan gum thickener creates a clear mixture when added to water. See for yourself in the comparison below.
Xanthan gum thickener powders are tasteless and odourless. Try some water thickened with xanthan gum powder and water thickened with a starch-based thickener, and you'll notice the difference immediately.
Xanthan gum powders are stable, meaning they do not continue to thicken the prepared food or beverage over time. Starch based thickeners, however, can continue to thicken prepared food or beverages over time.
Xanthan gum thickener has a special property called "amylase resistance." This means that liquids thickened with xanthan gum do not change their thickness in the presence of saliva in your mouth. Saliva contains an enzyme (called amylase) that can break down starch and cause your starch-thickened beverage to become thin in your mouth.
Xanthan gum thickener does not contribute significant dietary carbohydrate or calories making it suitable for people who are managing their carbohydrate or caloric intake.
Powdered and liquid xanthan gum thickeners require different mixing techniques, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully when preparing yours.
Powdered and liquid xanthan gum thickeners have different effects on taste. Xanthan gum powders are mostly tasteless, while some liquid xanthan gum thickeners may introduce a slight sour taste into the food or beverage it is mixed in.
For times when you'd like a pre-thickened beverage for a quick drink or for when you are not at home, there are several options available in different consistencies. Ask your healthcare professional about what thickened beverage options may be right for you and where you might find them.
Much like with pre-thickened beverages, there are options for ready-to-eat texture-modified foods available, which are often available in grocery stores. Ask your healthcare professional whether you require texture-modified foods and where you might find them.

Apollo 18 is a science fiction/horror movie written by Brian Miller, directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego, and produced by Timur Bekmambetov and Ron Schmidt. This is a fictional movie that sets out to be like a found footage styled movie, supposedly the lost footage of the Apollo 18 mission that was only recently discovered. It claims that over 70 hours of footage was found and uploaded to a website, lunartruth.com and that the film is a heavily edited version of it. The movie stars Warren Christie, Ryan Robbins and Lloyd Owen.
The crew of the Apollo 18 are informed that they will proceed with the mission, which was cancelled previously and moved to December 1974, as a top secret Department of Defense (DoD) mission disguised as a satellite launch. Commander Nathan Walker, Lieutenant Colonel John Grey, and Captain Ben Anderson are the 3 astronauts in the mission and are told to place detectors near their landing site, the south pole of the moon, to alert the United States of any impending ICBM attacks from the USSR. We see the men excited with their families before the launch and then the footage moves to when they are in the shuttle. Grey remains in orbit aboard the Freedom Command module while Walker and Anderson land on the moon in the lunar module Liberty. While planting one of the detectors, the pair take moon rock samples.
After they return to the Liberty they hear noises outside, which Houston claims is disturbances from other detectors, and the camera captures a rock moving. Anderson also finds a rock lying on the floor, despite the sample being safely secured. During further lunar exploration they discover footprints that lead them to a bloodstained, functioning Soviet LK lander, and a dead cosmonaut in a nearby crater. Walker queries Houston about the Soviet presence but is told only to continue with the mission. The next day they find the American flag that they had planted missing. With their mission completed they are about to leave but have to abort the launch is aborted when the shuttle experiences violent shaking. Walker steps out to investigate and notes extensive damage to the shuttle and he also sees non-human tracks, which he says proves extra-terrestrial life. Walker feels something moving inside his spacesuit and is horrified as a spider-like creature crawls across the inside of his helmet. Walker disappears from view and Anderson finds him unconscious outside of Liberty. Walker later denies the events. A wound is discovered on Walker's chest; Anderson removes a moon rock embedded within him. The pair find themselves unable to contact Houston or Grey due to increased levels of interference from an unknown source.
Anderson speculates that the true intention of the devices are to warn of alien advances. Walker's infection spreads at an alarming rate and becomes paranoid. The mission cameras capture the rock samples moving around in the interior of Liberty, revealing that the aliens are concealed as moon rocks. A delusional Walker destroys some of the cameras and but accidentally damages the system controls, causing Liberty to depressurize. Realizing the Soviet LK is their only source of oxygen, the pair travel towards the LK lander in their lunar rover. Walker causes the vehicle to crash as he runs away, believing he should not leave the moon because of the risk of spreading the infection to Earth. When Anderson tracks Walker, he sees his comrade pulled into a crater by the alien creatures and is unable to pull him back out. Anderson flees to the Soviet LK. Anderson uses its radio to contact USSR Mission Control who connect him to the DoD. The deputy secretary informs Anderson that they cannot allow him to return to Earth, admitting they are aware of the situation and fear he is also infected. He pleads but the deputy secretary is firm on his decision and says that his family will be taken care of. Anderson manages to contact Grey, who tells him to head for Freedom. Anderson prepares the lander for launch but it is attacked by a psychotic Walker. Before Walker can enter the vehicle, he is attacked by a swarm of the creatures, which breach his helmet, killing him.
Anderson launches the LK as Grey is warned by the DoD and orders him to abort the rescue or communication will be ceased, rendering Grey unable to return to Earth. As the lander enters orbit, the reduced gravity causes small rocks within the craft to float, some of which reveal themselves to be alien creatures. Anderson is attacked and infected by the creatures, preventing him from controlling the vehicle, leaving it headed uncontrolled toward Freedom. The space footage ends abruptly. As the movie ends, the 'official' fate of the 3 astronauts are written on the screen. An epilogue explains that many of the rock samples returned from the previous Apollo missions are now missing.
I found the intentionally bad camera footage a bit deterrent to my enjoyment of the film. It's not really my idea of an exciting movie but it does have it's moments. 6 outta 10!

The Indians are beaten by the men in black to intimidate them. Upon returning to Washington, the FBI puts Scully on mandatory leave and forces her to turn in her badge and gun. Upon entering Mulder's office, she finds the cassette missing. Mulder, alive but severely wounded, is found buried under some rocks near the buried boxcar. Hosteen begins the Blessing Way chant to heal Mulder. During the ritual, Mulder has ghostly visions of Deep Throat and his father, who urge him to recover and continue his search for the truth. Scully finds out that she has a small metal rod inserted in the base of her neck and has it removed. Mulder and Scully search for answers regarding the old photograph with his father and other unnamed men. Their search takes them to the abandoned Strughold Mining Facility where they uncover a dangerous secret.
Mulder is skeptical over a coroner's report regarding the fifth person to be struck by lightning in a small Oklahoma town. Their investigation into the latest death seems to point to the only person to have survived a lightning strike, an emotionally-charged youth. Guest starring Jack Black and Giovanni Ribisi. The next episode is one of my very favourite – Skeptical of a famous psychic's predictions regarding the murder of several prognosticators, Mulder instead finds someone who he believes truly can predict the future. Catching the killer could prove difficult, though, particularly if the murderer can also see into his future. Guest starring Peter Boyle. A death row inmate makes good on his promise to come back from the dead and kill the five people involved in his death. The fear of his retribution has everyone scrambling to determine if they are on the list, while Mulder and Scully attempt to determine how he has returned to execute his tormentors. Meeting insecure women through an on-line service, a serial killer seduces his prey with the right words. However, Mulder and Scully determine these killings are far from ordinary by the presence of a strange substance coating the victims, a substance which seems to digest the fatty acids in flesh.
Another failed suicide attempt by a patient in a military hospital interests Mulder with the talk of a "phantom soldier" which has prevented the man's death. The general in charge is at first opposed to the FBI's involvement until the invisible killer begins stalking him. But none believe when the primary suspect is a quadruple amputee. When a young girl is kidnapped from her home, a fast food worker miles away collapses on the job, apparently experiencing exactly what the child is feeling. When Mulder learns that the woman was kidnapped and held hostage for years as a child, he begins to believe that she may be the key to help find the missing girl. Mulder & Scully then investigate a recording of a seemingly alien autopsy by a Japanese doctor. Mulder is trapped on a train carriage with a ticking bomb and a killer who claims to be an NSA agent. Mulder tracks a series of religiously motivated murders. Each of the eleven victims claims to have been stigmatic but all turned out to be frauds. When Mulder and Scully discover a little boy displaying inexplicable wounds of religious significance, they try to protect him from the killer they know will be coming. A small town is plagued by deaths in which the bodies are found covered in cockroaches. Working from home, Scully has scientific explanations for all of them but Mulder — at the crime scene with an attractive bug expert — suspects the insects may not be organic, or earthly.
Mulder and Scully investigate strange murders in New Hampshire that may be due to a rare planetary alignment that affects people's behaviour. Agents Mulder and Scully join Mulder's former mentor, the FBI's chief profiler, on a case involving a serial killer who claims to be possessed by a demonic force. The case gets even more mysterious when the suspect is apprehended and the murders continue. Mulder gets involved more deeply than expected and Scully as well as Skinner are deeply concerned. When a French salvage ship sends a diving crew to recover a mysterious wreckage from World War II, the crew falls prey to a bizarre illness and Agents Mulder and Scully join the investigation. The investigation leads to the discovery of a familiar face, and to Skinner's life being threatened. While Mulder continues to investigate a bizarre illness that originated with the discovery of a mysterious World War II wreckage buried at sea, several government figures try to thwart their efforts. And as Skinner recovers from his shooting, Scully discovers that he is still in danger, from the man who killed her sister. Agents Mulder and Scully's assistance is requested for a case involving a man seemingly capable of bending people to his will. The suspect uses his mysterious abilities to manipulate Agent Mulder into a dangerous end game. A series of deaths occurs immediately after an ancient artifact is brought to Boston from an excavation site in Ecuador. According to Scully, the deaths appear to be the result of political terrorism, but Mulder suspects something more improbable.
A string of mysterious deaths of recent Chinese immigrants brings Agents Mulder and Scully to San Francisco's Chinatown. The Agents team up with a Chinese-American detective to better understand the language and customs of the Chinese culture, but one thing remains frighteningly clear — all of the bodies are missing various internal organs. When a couple claims to have been abducted by aliens, Agents Mulder and Scully try to get at the truth but everyone has a different version of the story, including the "aliens" themselves. During a difficult time in assistant director Skinner's life, he meets a woman in a bar and spends the night with her. The next morning, the woman is dead and he is accused of murder. Agents Mulder and Scully join the investigation to clear their supervisor's name. As they unravel the threads of a conspiracy, they also learn more about Skinner's personal affairs. When a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances are reported near a lake in a small town, Agents Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate. With local folklore of a killer sea serpent running rampant amongst the locals, the agents must take their search for the truth to the water. As the agents investigate a series of murders committed by ordinary citizens angered after seeing illusory images, Scully's trust in Mulder is put to the ultimate test. Agents Mulder and Scully search for a man who seems to possess strange powers, which leads to the discovery of a dangerous secret from Mulder's past. The secret could bring Mulder and Scully to the brink of exposing the truth about alien existence.

2017 is shaping up to be quite a busy year already, and inspired by a recent blog post by Tracey from The William's World about her travel plans for 2017, I have decided to share my own travel bucket list of where I would love to go and see in 2017.
After we spent a lot of the Christmas break watching Harry Potter films, we have all decided as a family that we want to go to Harry Potter Studios in London. We are going to wait until after March when hopefully the expansion of the Forbidden Forest will be open however. Have you been? Any tips for me?
We have visited Longleat, Eleveden and Sherwood Forest in the past. Sherwood Forest is by far our favourite out of the three we have been to, however Longleat is the closest to us. I would like to be able to get a weekend break at Longleat which I think would be doable and still be back in time for school on Monday morning. There is something very relaxing being at Center Parcs, and we may even take Lola with us this time.
It's no secret of my love for Walt Disney World. Two trips under our belt and looking forward to a third if all goes well. There is so much more that I want to see and do. The sunshine will also be so welcome.
I really wanted to go to Disneyland Paris for my 40th birthday last year. It wasn't to be, and the fact my birthday is very close to Christmas was never going to make it easy to achieve. A few nights would be amazing, especially as this year is their 25th birthday. Hubby isn't too keen as he thinks we'll be disappointed after visiting Florida, however I would still love to compare them.
As we are now National Trust members, we make more of an effort to find places to visit near us. We all loved Brownsea Island when we visited at Easter time for their egg hunt. I would love to go back this year perhaps at the end of the Summer.
The last time we visited Longleat Safari Park, Miss A was a baby. I remember having a great time though so would love to visit again. I suspect it would be linked with a visit to Center Parcs.
My two best friends are about to turn 40 this year in a few weeks, and we had said last year we would try and get away for a weekend away without the partners and children for our birthday. After all we are only 40 once! As we're all winter babies, we are waiting until late spring to get the best of the Mediterranean weather. We have a long weekend booked, all inclusive in a resort near El Arenal in May. I can't wait!
Bath has been on my radar to visit for such a long time, and in the last week I've been reading and hearing a lot more about it, so it's definitely a place I would love to visit this year.
I love going to shows, but rarely get the time. As Miss A is getting older, I have said I would love to take her to see a show. This year she turns ten and I think this would be a great birthday trip for her. I'm not sure what we'll go and see yet, but hopefully we'll find something to enjoy together.
Cornwall is a place I absolutely love visiting. It's been a few years since we last managed to visit, but I would love to take off for the weekend and explore some more. I know Lola would love it.
I have this booked for February as part of our 40th birthday celebrations. My friends surprised me with a spa day for my 40th, and we're getting together again to enjoy a cream tea for their special days before our holiday later in the year.
I'm sure there are so many more places I would love to visit, but time and money are always the biggest constraints. I am looking forward to seeing how many of my travel bucket list I can achieve in 2017.
Sounds like some great places to go. I'd love to take mine to Longleat and Centre parcs if we can. And if you ever visit Cornwall, do pop in on the way!!
If you do get to go to Disneyland Paris my advice is to NOT compare the parks there to Florida – they are both so very different, and are for different types of tourists too. We went to DLP for Christmas weekend back in 2015 and had such a wonderful time!
Hubby is reluctant to go to Paris for this reason, but I still want to experience it at least once.


What are the common allergies again with gluten intolerlant people? I have already eliminated dairy but I feel like it is time to really eliminate EVERYTHING that might hurt me, only eat, COMPLETELY SAFE foods, and then do that whole rotation thing to figure out if anything else bothers me.
I'm really scared of the way my body is feeling and I'm only 21! So I'm going to really concentrate on EVERY SINGLE THING I EAT. I also just started a food diary yesterday.
Also, how long did it take for you (everyone) to feel almost normal or completely normal after going gluten free?
And one more little question: Does anyone else have very very foul smelling urine, espeically in the mornings? For the past year, I have noticed this. It smells like some kind of chemical or something, it's very very strong; not to be really gross, but I can smell it in the whole bathroom after I go and I'm sure healthy urine wouldn't do that. Does anyone know what that could mean? It's very weird.
You should talk to your doctor about it. It can be a sign of a bladder or kidney infection. Here's a page from the Mayo Clinic that tells what some specific smells can be signs of.
asparagus??? It says asparagus can change the odor of your urine....I love asparagus, I wonder if it happens when I eat asparagus, will have to make it this week and see.
hahah, you're funny. Yeah, my sister-in-law (to be) told me about that asparagus thing a few months ago. It's also funny because I had it last night for dinner! But I know it's not from that because the last time I had asparagus before last night was probably a year or more ago, and this urine thing happens practically everyday!
Could it be dehydration? I only ask b/c you say it is worst in the morning and thats usually from dehydration. Do you notice that it is very yellow? and painful?
When is the last time you had a urinalysis?
I am on the diet on my own, went to the dr., but I noticed that I eat a very low gluten diet anyway and he said he wouldn't be surprised then if my tests came back "normal" which they did, I am still planning on have the scope thing done, jsut to see and I am going to ahve the genetic tests done. I have 4 boys and so if I do have it and have the gene, I want to be prepared for them.
My mom and grandma also have all the symptoms, so I am certain that is where it came from. My mom started watching her diet also, and since my stepdad is diabetic they eat very little gluten normally, but she has been noticing that when she DOES eat pizza/breads/pasta her "symptoms" all flare up. It is so strange that my grandma has been dealing with all this for 40+ years, my mom for 20+ and me for 9+ and we never associated with gluten until now.
Foul smelling urine could be from urine that has been sitting in your bladder for a while (such as overnight). You might want to try drinking more water, not only to dilute the urine, but to go to the bathroom more frequently.
This also relates to mookie03's reply about dehydration.
I did the safe food only for about 1-2 weeks and felt much better then started to add stuff back in...if it bothered me, then I tried to figure out which ingredient was the culprit. I feel beter now than ever and we are continuing to expand what we eat for meals now that I have stabilized.
I have smelly urine occasionally. I thought about the asparagus thing, hadn't eaten it in weeks, I added lots of water to my diet, no help...still smelled, had all kinds of tests for kidney problems, infections, etc., none. It just seems to come and go and I don't really change my diet a lot (just different variations of what I can eat) so that can be ruled out, just don't know.
Hi everyone! Thanks for all your replys!
Stefi, I know what you mean about the dehydration because I do get that if I don't drink enough water. But I drink so much water these days, at least 2 huge glasses or sometimes 2 bottles with every meal, plus water in between meals, and I still will wake up like that. Sometimes, it burns, but most of the time, it doesn't. I know what you mean when you haven't had enough water and you feel like you have to go and only a little comes out and it hurts a little because I've had that a lot, especially after a night out of drinking. But no, it's weird because I go a lot, it's not bright yellow or anything (pretty regular looking, not water, but not yellow) but that chemical smell still happens. Who knows? Maybe it will get better the longer I am gluten free ...?
Well, yesterday, I ate all natural, whole foods, nothing processed AT ALL, (well, rice milk), anyway, I'm feeling a little better today. I should probably just keep this up. No Amy's soup for a while, or anything like that! And yeah, dairy will be out of my diet for sure for a while.
I drink so much water these days, at least 2 huge glasses or sometimes 2 bottles with every meal, plus water in between meals, and I still will wake up like that.
You probably shouldnt drink all that water with your meals. If your drinking 2 bottles of water while you're eating it will interfere with digestion. I don't drink any water until a half hour after I've eaten. Also eating small meals will help with healing and digestion.
It sounds like you may have a low-grade urinary tract infection. I'm no doctor, but I've read that UTI's are more common in celiacs because of diet.
Also, I personally experienced something similar to this in the few months prior to kidney stones. The build up of minerals which cause the stones can also cause foul smelling urine. If I were you I would definitely go to the doctor and have a urinalysis run. It could save you a big headache in the long run.
One more thing, I've noticed that if I drink too much coffee my urine will smell the next day. Maybe that's it???
Thanks for your replys. I know that it's not a UTI because I have been checked for that a million times and they never find an infection. The last urologist I went to just told me I have irritable bladder ! It's like the same dumb excuse I got from most of my previous doctors, except that was for the bowel. I guess I have IBS squared! Stupid! So, that's why I'm questioning it now. Since I now know my bowel problems are not IBS, or at least there was an underlying cause for that (gluten), so now I'm wondering what the underlying cause for this irritable bladder is.
When I touch the right side of my head, even a piece of hair, the left side of my head gets a shooting pain, sometimes it goes into my teeth and jaw when it's really bad.......anyone ever had this? Or maybe know what that could mean? My finace keeps telling me he thinks it's just gluten withdrawl and my symptoms (some of them) are coming back worse than before and are with me everyday now and will eventually go away. What do you guys think?
It could also be Thyroid. Now, while I was on synthroid I did still have the odor. Now that I am also gluten-free and on Synthroid, I no longer have the odor.

Board & Governance Matters
CISOs and the board
European Audit Committee Leadership Network, January 2018
Cybersecurity is a critical concern for companies and their boards, which is why it is important to have a strong leader overseeing cybersecurity efforts. Although their precise responsibilities may vary, chief information security officers (CISOs) typically oversee security related to information technology (IT) and may also oversee security relating to production systems and third-party cyber risk. The role continues to evolve to keep up with evolving cyber threats and new regulations. The CISO has been elevated at many companies in recent years, according to a 2017 survey of European CISOs. But just as CISOs' responsibilities differ from organization to organization, so too do their status and relationship with the board.
On November 15, 2017, members of the European Audit Committee Leadership Network (EACLN) met in London to discuss the CISO and the board with Robert Coles, CISO and head of information protection at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK); Mike Maddison, partner at EY; and Emma Smith, group technology security director at Vodafone. This ViewPoints includes background information and synthesizes the perspectives that members shared before and during the meeting on the following topics.
The CISO's evolving role and function
One way that companies are addressing cyber risk is to empower a CISO with broad authority to work across the enterprise in order to protect data and physical assets, monitor for deficiencies, respond to attacks, and educate the workforce. In many cases, this means delving into areas that are not traditionally within the scope of IT. As a result, the role requires an individual with deep technical expertise, strong business acumen, and access to appropriate resources, supported by a team with diverse skills.
The CISO's relationship with the board
Cybersecurity is at the forefront of the board's agenda, with many directors reporting it as the top risk at their companies. Audit committee chairs reported that they benefit from having an open and direct relationship with their company's CISO, which includes communicating at a regular cadence using a consistent framework and common language. They said that a strong relationship makes it easier for boards and CISOs to agree upon adequate resourcing and ensure sufficient oversight of the controls in place to mitigate cyber threats.

This course features lecture notes and examples of student work in the assignments section.
This course focuses on the study of basic metaphysical issues concerning existence, the mind-body problem, personal identity, and causation plus its implications for freedom. The course explores classical as well as contemporary readings.


Like many of the companies in this countdown, Nike's challenges arise from its global prominence and ensuring that it is being seen to act in a responsible manner, not just in its immediate vicinity, but influencing that same ethos throughout the whole supply chain.
This company achieves this by focusing on the roots of potential problems to ensure sustainability and a personable nature with its partners.
Similarly, Dell sees the importance of industry collaboration as key in optimising its supply chain, making sure that the competitive nature of the tech industry doesn't overshadow the importance of mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers.
As a result, the company enforces an environment of shared expertise and best practices to get the entire value chain reading from the same hymn sheet.
Supply chain visibility has been the trigger for Colgate-Palmolive's supply chain success, while also emphasising the importance of accelerated time to market through its affiliation with SAP over the past 20 years.
Its global network and subsequent reliance on internet sales has recently made its supply chain even more complex before, making partnerships with the likes of SAP even more pivotal to move with the times.
Coca-Cola has openly stated that it wants to save as much as $1 billion through its supply chain in just the next two years, with the company pinpointing its logistics operations as a cost-cutting opportunity following its recent net income decline.
This comes as part of its productivity and reinvestment imitative which pays special significance to global supply chain optimisation and IT standardisation.
As a member of the supply chain hall of fame, Samsung Electronics' adherence to six sigma and lean strategies has spread its influence across its partners too.
Its infamous 'Best Practice Analysis' philosophy incorporates evaluation of some of the world's leading companies to both learn from and improve upon the most efficient models in manufacturing.
Cisco Systems is another to base its supply chain motives on lean principles; once again filtering this through its entire operations, from manufacture to customer.
The main advantages enjoyed as a result comprise retiring obsolete processes, reducing or eliminating waste, reducing costs and creating value through its engineering capabilities.
Procter & Gamble (P&G) is driving supply chain optimisation through its global sustainability goals, which the company has become so renowned for over the years.
Its commitment to eliminating deforestation in its palm oil supply chain by educating and improving practices alongside its suppliers has won the company great acclaim as it looks to find unique and environmentally significant solutions to supply chain challenges.
Supply chain visibility and transparency is becoming a key component of a trustworthy supply chain, especially among globally operating organisations, and Intel has been vigilant in meeting the demands of this trend.
The chip manufacturer has subsequently partnered with other companies in the IT industry to create and promote a 'Transparency Task Force'.
Winning the title of best supply chain in Europe, not for the first time, Unilever has long been applauded for its excellence in the area.
The company has mastered its sustainable operations on a principle of leveraging eight key disciplines consisting of engineering, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, customer service, planning, quality and safety.
While Unilever's dominance in the European supply chain stakes comes as no surprise, either does Apple's stranglehold in the global battle.
Being a marked man at the top of the pile inevitably presents its own set of unique challenges, and Apple has come in for criticism in the past, and most recently due to the speed it can get its products to market.
Once again though, Apple has responded accordingly, seeking to increase the control that it has over its supply chain by manufacturing its own components and increasing the size of orders.
Combine this internal control with its already renowned visibility and hands-on approach to the design of its products, and one of the world's most influential brands is likely to hold on to top spot for many more years to come.

All the Times Kate Middleton and Prince Harry Have Teased Prince William About His (Lack of) Hair
by Alyssa Toomey | Fri., Apr. 18, 2014 12:43 PM
Express Newspapers via AP Images
While Prince William may lead the charmed life of a royal, it can't be easy having a wife with perfect hair and a brother who is a pro at cracking jokes.
The Duke of Cambridge has endured years of humiliation as a result of his receding hair line and most recently became the butt of a joke thanks to wife Kate Middleton, who couldn't help but poke fun at her husband's bald spot during the twosome's tour Down Under.
While watching a shearing demonstration, Lyn Crejan, a farmer from Glenn Innes in New South Wales, showed the couple a tuft of alpaca wool that just so happened to be a similar shade to William's hair. "The prince was interested in the alpaca, and as I showed it to them, the princess said he should put it on his head," Crejan told reporters. "She said, 'You need it more than me,' and pointed to his head and he laughed."
Of course, this isn't the first time that William's receding hair line has become the topic of conversation. Here is every time the royal family has joked about the duke's lack of hair.
VIDEO: Kate teases William about his bald spot

The Royal Portrait: Speaking during his trip to Barbados, the redheaded royal opened up about an official painting which he claimed William was falsely portrayed with a bit more hair. "I don't know, I'm a little bit more ginger in there than I am in real life, I think," he said. "And [William] got given more hair. Apart from that, it is what it is. But no, it's nice, it could've been worse," he quipped.
Wedding Zinger: While we never got to hear Prince Harry's best man speech at the royal wedding, the 29-year-old did provide a preview when he spoke with BBC. "But it's me and a couple of his friends, and between the three of us, we'll make sure that we dig him in the ribs a few times and embarrass him," he said. "And make him lose some hair." Oh snap!
VIDEO: Kate Middleton makes a style splash in Australia
Dad Gets in on the Joke: Even William's father, Prince Charles, couldn't help but poke fun at his son's bald spot during the royal wedding in his reception speech, saying that there was nothing his son could do because the condition is hereditary. "Kate was laughing away when he said it. So was William," a friend of the Middleton's told the U.K.'s Mirror.
Brotherly Banter: The two enjoyed their fair share of jests while living and working together during flight training at RAF Shawbury. "I think he definitely is brainer than I am, but we established that at school—along with his baldness," Harry said before William shot back: "That's pretty rich coming from a ginger."
Prince William Pokes Fun at Himself: Even the Duke of Cambridge can't resist the quip! When the proud parents first revealed Prince George to the world, the 31-year-old royal joked that the seemingly bald infant has "got way more hair than me, thank God!"

Does any have any C examples of reading the temp sensor from the computer versus, or in conjunction with, the LCD; basically a program to interact with the controller?
So this gets you talking with your PC. If you open a Terminal program and connect to the com port you will get the temperature readout on you PC.
Now if you want to have a program process the temperature data Google "serial data capture" you will gets hundreds of examples including scripts to send your data to a Excel spread sheet.
And then of course there is Python which the Nerdkits guys use (and a whole lot other people as well). Most of the Nerdkits tutorials have python routines capturing the serial data you can modify these scripts to get what you want.
There is also a ongoing discusion here in the forum on using Visual Basic and/or C++. Ask on this thread for more specifics about using VB or C++.
Hey! Thanks for the reply. I guess I missed that printf statement :(. I was able to write a quick Perl script to monitor the /dev com. I like Perl better because it's more mature and there is a lot more modules (CPAN) out there for cool things like this ( my opinion of course :) ).
