Sweetland to Sony
The Reporter says:
Doug Sweetland, the animator behind last year's Oscar-nominated Pixar short "Presto," will make his feature debut with Sony Pictures Animation's "The Familiars."
Sam Raimi and Josh Donen are exec producing the project, which is based on the just-published children's book by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson. ...
Hope the move from Emeryville to Culver City isn't jarring.

Its because he wanted to direct Monsters Inc 2, and it didnt "work out," so he left for greener pastures.
At least thats what I heard.

After the great success Presto was, I would have guessed he was next in line for the director's chair. Oh well. Pixar's loss. Guess he got Pinkava'd.
I guess Pixar is always going to be relying on the main group of Docter, Petersen, Unkrich, Chapman, and then Stanton/Bird/Lasseter when they're in town? Doesn't seem like they're rushing to find their new diamond in the rough or anything.
Probably. If all of them stay. If.
I've read the book The Familiars and frankly, it sucks. My kid bought it then never finished it, and I picked it up off his bedside table and took a look at it. I can see why he lost interest in it. What a contrived attempt to cash in on Harry Potter! Boring characters, uninspired writing, jokes that don't work - the book makes the Guardians of GaHoole look like Lord of the Rings. I can't imagine that an enjoyable animated film could be made of it. Aren't there better books - books that have stood the test of time - to make movies out of out there? How about "A Wrinkle In Time" or Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels? They'd make great animated films. Bad choice, Sony. I have a feeling "The Familiars" is going to be another "Happily N'Ever After"...
Well, often weak books can make great movies. Too often GREAT books are ruined by bad movies. The harry potter books aren't great by any stretch of the imagination, but the movies are just awful.
"The harry potter books aren't great by any stretch of the imagination, but the movies are just awful."
That's an awfully harsh criticism for what can be analytically and objectively broken down into a series of very good movies. They peaked at #3 and #4, but in terms of what makes good cinema and what makes a film valid the Harry Potter franchise has achieved unparalleled consistency.
I'm hardly a fan and I've never read past book #2, but when Stephen King is applauding J.K. Rowling I think you should give the series some credit.
I quote: "[...]Jo Rowling is a terrific writer[...]"
I won't deny the books and some of the movies are popular, but the books are piss poorly written. And all of the movies save the third are worthless, uncinematic messes.
How to Train Your Dragon wasn't exactly the greatest book written, but the movie was excellent... Waaaay better than the book.
I think you put someone like Sweetland on Familiars and he might be able to pull that off.
That leaves Pete Doctor, Lee Unkrich, John Lassiter, and Brenda Chapman as Pixar directors. Brad Bird and Andrew Stanton left to direct live action films. Lee Unkrich comes from live action so I bet he leaves too. With Doug Sweetland gone, and Gary Rydstrom's film Newt cancelled, that doesn't sound like a lot of people to direct a lot of movies.
Book 1 and 2 were kids stuff. In my opinion, its book 3 that actually gets the series going, and peaks at Half-Blood Prince. The last book was a decent enough resolution, but nothing like Half-Blood Prince.

Lasseter should not be directing any Pixar movies after Cars 2, I think he only came on board to save it. But he's got an entire animation division to run down in Burbank and they haven't been able to do anything great since the Pixar takeover yet...
So that really only leaves Docter, Chapman, and Unkrich as the only ones with lead-director experience. Bob Petersen has some co-director experience, and Rydstrom could theoretically direct a different movie. Unkrich has said he's got some ideas after Toy Story 3 for Pixar, so live action might not happen for a while.
Still, I think the point is that directing at Pixar seems to be only reserved for an elite membership club. They're going to have to start getting some new blood in there soon though. At some point the "elite" folk will be out of touch and they'll find all the best talent has gone elsewhere.

So who is directing Monster's Inc. 2 now? How in the world did that not "work out?"
They could get David Silverman to direct Monsters Inc 2, considering he co-directed the first one, unless he's busy over at The Simpsons. Ash Brannon would be my other choice, but he seems busy working on The Turkeys (I think that's what it's called).
Peter Sohn or Bob Peterson, maybe?
I agree that J.K. Rowling is a pretty piss-poor writer, that's true. Her books don't hold up when read a second time (you notice more of the writing flaws, the weak attempts at humor, and her uninspired interpretation of magic.) But the Familiars is a worse book, because it blatantly tries to feed off of the popularity of Harry Potter, and because its characters are so contrived. The book, which was bought for the movie before it was even published, has failed to catch fire so far even among our Potter-crazed youth, which IMO is something of a bad omen...
I'd assume Pete Docter again...?

Never read the Harry Potter books. But I've found the movies very entertaining. The first one holds out after all these years. Frankly, I can't wait for the one coming out in november. However you slice it, the Potter movies are way more entertaining than whatever Dreamworks or Sony will ever do.

"Lee Unkrich comes from live action so I bet he leaves too."
Unkrich has already been on record as saying he's staying put making animated films at Pixar. He's not moving to live-action.

I know the Internet loves to hate, but this criticism towards Harry Potter is absurd. Do you find that much pleasure in detesting what others enjoy just for the sake of it?
In regards to the books, the writing gets better and better with each book. The first two read like children's books, which they were, but past there the writing is as good as any and it was apparently good enough to catch the attention of Stephen King.
And as far as the movies being "uncinematic messes" you clearly know nothing about film. If nothing else the movies deserve a great deal of merit based purely on the cinematography. Especially in 5 and 6. Just because you personally don't like the franchise doesn't mean it isn't any good.
Unless you have no grasp on cinematography, or character development, or story arcs, or emotional weight, or plot structure, or scrutinous casting, then you literally can't have any form of solid argument against the films. They're not flawless works of film masterpiece, by they are damn good movies. Even if YOU don't like them.
The numbers don't lie either. The records it has broken, the audience it reaches, the fan base it has generated, and the respect it has garnered is irrefutable. This isn't Twilight we're talking about.
The people on this website are brutal. Everything is "trash" or "piss poor". I'm all for narrow mindedness, but if you're going to reject something there are ways to do it and still be taken seriously. I didn't like Monsters vs Aliens. It's my least favorite animated movie from Dreamworks. But if somebody asks me why I'm going to make some valid points that aren't subject to my personal bias. And if I'm going to state an opinion like thinking the movie is "garbage", I'm going to emphasize that it's how I feel. Not a universal fact that if somebody else doesn't believe then they can go to Hell.
I'm fairly certain you won't be seeing Ash Brannon directing anything at Pixar in the future.
Losing Sweetland to Sony is probably a big misstep. The guy is a fantastic animator, probably was their best or one of the best, and after Presto, it is clear he has a good handle on story and directing.
Oh well, Pixar's loss. Agreed that they'll need some new directing blood up here.
The reason why disney hasn't been doing anything great is because lasseter wont let the directors direct their own films without his approval over every decision.. ironically becoming what he was fighting against when pixar started under disney..
I heard pixar is becoming the same way.. probably why doug left pixar..

Harry potter comments VS Exiting news at Sony... It's like two parallel Universes just merged in one blog.
To the Potterhead at 1:23...try reading some GOOD books. Or at least some OTHER books. Then maybe you'll have some basis for comparison, and come to the inevitable conclusion that the Potter fad deserves to die.
I gotta say though, that as mediocre as the Potter books are, the Familiars thing sounds worse. A cat and a blue jay and a hop toad battle evil? Feh.
@4:29
I've only read two and a half Potter books. Book 1, half of Book 2, and Book 7. I've read hundreds of books and own a small library of twenty-five leather-bound classics.
I think closing on ten years is a bit long for a "fad" don't you think? I'm not a Potterhead, but I respect the series because I can objectively admit when something is excellent. At some point people's ruthless bashing of all things popular gets pathetic. Give it up.
Harry Potter is a world-wide success both financiallyand criticay with a legacy that will last as long as the other great fantasies like The Lord of the Rings. Now let your warrantless hate go and sink into apathy like a normal person.
Financially and critically*. Sorry, typing on a handheld.
No one here ever said the books and films weren't popular. But that doesn't make them GOOD. I've never read the books, but the movies are uncinematic and seem to be making themselves up as they go along. That undercuts any sense of wonder or magic they might have had. They're boring. And they do not stand up at all in comparison to "The Lord of the Rings," as movies.
And the harry potter films are for small children, obviously. At least the film makers ought to have a greater deal of respect for their intelligence.
Anybody who thinks the movies are for small children obviously hasn't seen the movies past the first two.
You do realize that pretty much every major character is eventually brutally murdered, right? Right down to the pet owl?
Somebody doesn't even have a basic grasp on Harry Potter. By the time we're at movie 6 we have Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography and teenage boys bleeding to death in the bathroom and the most beloved character in the series being cornered and murdered.
Plus in Deathly Hallows we have characters being killed left and right including children. Even the most innocent characters are killed.
Anyone who thinks the Harry Potter series is for children doesn't know anything about the series. The series evolved with its audience. Book/Movie 1 is practically a Christmas special compared how dark the series gets.
Darkness sums up the series pretty well. Why do you think WB wanted Guillermo Del Toro to direct them? Darkness. Darkness and disturbing themes.
Under Lasseter, Disney/Pixar has lost Chris Sanders, Dean Deblois, Ash Brannon, and now Doug Sweetland. It is pretty ironic that the guy who prided himself on being an artist's friend is now causing many artists to turn away for greener pastures.
I think what it boils down to is that John Lasseter isn't sure how to be in such a powerful position. Before the buy out he practically ran Pixar, but he did it with his buddies all around him. Now he's kind of on his own and after early success with "fixing" the Circle 7 films he's really just trying to play it safe while staying on the track he knows to work.
That said, as shown in the reformation of American Dog into Bolt, John Lasseter doesn't want to take risks. Not on his own. He knows how to make one type of movie (that is, quality films with lovable characters learning relatable life lessons. Eleven times), but the Platinum track record of the studio he helped found puts a lot of pressure on him.
Can he bring Disney animation as a whole up to "Pixar Quality"? Should he even try to? Should he cross pollinate between all the Disney studios, or create intimate teams dedicated to their own projects? Who can he trust with Pixar's projects now that the founders had dispersed? Who will carry on his legacy?
So fear, or maybe pure anxiety, is causing him to sort of vibrate in place. He doesn't want to take any serious risks like new directors or adventurous projects because if something goes wrong he doesn't have Joe Ranft, Pete Docter, and Andrew Stanton to collaborate with around the clock.
That's just my two cents.
"Anybody who thinks the movies are for small children obviously hasn't seen the movies past the first two."
No...I've seen them all. THey're for small children. Sadly. And they should've killed them off in the first movie so we wouldn't have to suffer the rest of them.
Actually, Astroboy may even be better than those kids movies.
And David Silverman, Jan PInkava, and probably Gary Rydstrom. Who knows.
But each of those artists chose to go their own way.
So Rowling kills off all of her INTERESTING characters, and somehow that's considered good writing?
Actually, it's hack work - shedding blood as a substitute for drama. The latter takes an author of skill to pull off. The former is the formula for every lame slasher film ever made.
Please stop feeding the trolls.

Yes, but why not trust Doug Sweetland then, Lasseter? Sweetland has been with Pixar for quite a while now, you'd think he'd trust him (assuming the rumor that something went wrong with Monsters 2 being given to him). Or was that not Lasseter's call?
Thursday, October 07, 2010 7:52:00 PM
Well, the original Monsters Inc. had 4 directors over time, so who knows. And Lasseter replaced the director of Cars 2 with himself.

By NSW political reporter Liz Foschia
The New South Wales Government has confirmed Sydney's desalination plant will be shutting down at the end of the week, but has rejected suggestions the facility has been a waste of money.
The plant cost $2 billion to build and has completed a two-year proving period, but will lie idle from Sunday.
Finance Minister Greg Pearce says it could be around three years before the facility operates again.
"At the moment of course the dams are full, so it won't go back on until they drop below 70 per cent, and then the desalination plant operates until they're up to 80 per cent again," Mr Pearce said.
"The fact that the desal plant will be turned off from the first of July will save Sydney Water customers $50 million a year, but we'll still have the security if we ever or when we eventually need to turn the desalination plant back on again.
"We're still paying $16 million a month and that pays the actual cost of building the desalination plant and the associated pipeline."
Greens MP John Kaye says the desalination plant is a massive white elephant.

Why are HB Water Policies rated "Poor"?
The predictions of a looming "water supply crisis" only seem dire until we embrace the notion that the coordinated and cooperative efforts by many public agencies who have some authority over managing water, as well as our own efforts at home, can result in reform that integrates solutions to multiple problems.
Crisis drives reform – and World Water Day is an invaluable opportunity to illustrate what the reform looks like in our communities and how we end up with a sustainable economy, environment and better quality of life.

Debbie Cook's assessment of water options for 2020
From The Greener Blue.com Blog
In Huntington Beach water costs $2.27 for a thousand gallons whether we use a lot or a little. There is no incentive to save water when it is so cheap. At the other extreme is Catalina Island. They have a small desalination facility that is used during droughts. They have a three tiered water structure whereby they pay $10 for a thousand gallons at the low end and over $40 for a thousand gallons at the high end.
There are any number of alternatives to ocean desalination including recycled water such as is being done in Orange County, capturing rainwater, conservation, gray water systems, and efficiency. They represent the low-hanging fruit that achieves multiple benefits not the least of which is to improve our regions resilience to energy and water price spikes.
While conservation makes the most sense, it is typically the lowest funding priority. The reason is simple, there is no incentive for a water agency to push conservation. MWD recently red-lined their conservation budget and approved $900 million to subsidize ocean desalinated water over the next 25 years.
If you are in the water business, you generate revenue by selling water. Any money allocated for conservation has to come from existing revenue. In addition, water conservation incurs costs to the agency to hire staff and implement programs. Agencies have fixed costs that have to be paid whether we use a lot of water or a little water. You may have noticed your water rates went up last year. It was because the region conserved water.
The solution to the region's water challenge is to reduce water consumption 20% by 2020. It is absolutely achievable and can be done by adopting an appropriate rate structure that (1) provides financial stability to the agency to cover their fixed costs, (2) provides a basic needs allocation at a rate affordable to all, (3) assures funding for conservation initiatives, and (4) discourages waste. It is not a new idea but most cities find it easier to adopt expensive technical fixes rather than suggest that perhaps our behavior is inappropriate for the region in which we live.

Q: $\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sinh(x) \sin(nx)dx$, using complex transformation. $$\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sinh(x) \sin(nx)dx$$
This integral can be done by using integrate by parts twice. However, I was thinking if this can be done by using some complex transformation (I haven't done any complex analysis yet, that is next term), for example use something like $i\sin(ix)=-\sinh(x)$. I encountered this integral when I was trying to find the Fourier Series for $\sinh(x)$ over $-\pi, \pi$.

\end{align}

A: I am not really sure about what your intentions are with the use of the words complex transforms. What is general called a transform contains $e^{-i\text{ something}}$ and a transform tends to be named after people not called complex.

We can re-write $\sin(nx)\sinh(x)$ using exponential to obtain a complex $\cosh$. We know that
\begin{align}
\sinh(x) &= \frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\\
\sin(nx) &= \frac{e^{inx} - e^{-inx}}{2i}
\end{align}
Therefore, we can multiple the exponentials together.
\begin{align}
\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\frac{e^{inx} - e^{-inx}}{2i}&= \frac{-i}{4}(\exp(x+ixn)+\exp(-(x+ixn))-\exp(x-ixn)-\exp(-(x-ixn))\\
&=\frac{i}{2}\biggl(\frac{\exp(x+ixn)+\exp(-(x+ixn))}{2}+\frac{\exp(x+ixn)+\exp(-(x+ixn))}{2}\biggr)\\
&=\frac{i}{2}(\cosh(x-inx) - \cosh(x+inx))\\
\end{align}
Now we don't need to use integration by parts.
\begin{align}
\frac{i}{2}\biggl[\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\cosh(x-inx)dx + \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\cosh(x+inx)dx\biggr] &= \frac{-\sinh(\pi(1 -in))}{n+i}+\frac{i\sinh((\pi(1 +in))}{1+i n}\\
&= \frac{2n(-1)^{n+1}\sinh(\pi)}{n^2+1}
\end{align}

Chicago Personal Injury Lawyer » Client Reviews
Reviews from our Accident and Injury Clients
The personal injury lawyers at Abels & Annes, P.C. dedicate themselves to helping clients in Illinois recover from injuries due to various types of accidents. This includes car accidents, bicycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and other personal injury accidents. We fight for the compensation that accident victims need and deserve to recover.
The following written and video reviews are from past clients who are very happy with their settlements and verdicts. The video reviews are of actual clients, not actors.
Bike Accident Case
The above video review is from Nik, a bicycle accident victim. The defendant pulled out of a driveway, failing to yield. He sustained a dislocated shoulder and had to undergo surgery. In his review, he talks about his hassle-free experience with our bicycle accident lawyers, that we are easy to get a hold of, and that he would recommend our services to friends and family.
Pedestrian Accident Claim
It's a tremendous complement when another attorney puts his or her trust in our office. In the above video Katherine, a divorce lawyer in Chicago, talks about her experience with our office regarding her mother's pedestrian accident involving serious injuries. It was a crosswalk accident due to a driver failing to yield while making a turn. Our pedestrian accident lawyers collected both the defendant's insurance policy limits and the plaintiff's limits on an underinsured motorist claim.
Car Accident Victim

Platyrhacidae is a family of polydesmidan millipedes distributed in Southeast Asia and tropical Central and South America.

Description
Platyrhacids are often large and colorful. They can be distinguished from most other polydesmidans by having ozopores situated further inward from the paranota margins, ozopores surrounded by a broad, flat ring, and presence of compound setae on the labrum and often on the epiproct (a posterior extension of the telson).  The gonopods in males are relatively simple, although up to five gonopodal  processes ("branches") may be present in some genera from Borneo. Large platyrhacids in Borneo may grow up to  long and exhibit colors of blue, green, and yellow with black spots or stripes. The largest known species in the order Polydesmida, however, is a platyrhacid species found in Sumatra, Gigantorhacus mirandus, which can reach 134 mm (5.3 in) in length.

Distribution
Platyrhacids occur in two disjunct geographic areas. The majority of species occur in Southeast Asia, including the Greater Sunda Islands and the Philippine archipelago. The rest occur in the New World Tropics from Nicaragua to Peru, as well as on some Caribbean islands.

Classification
The Platyrhacidae is part of the larger suborder Chelodesmidea. The family Platyrhacidae is subdivided into several groups, formerly considered tribes but elevated to the status of subfamilies in 2013.

Barydesminae - Neotropical America
Barydesmus
Nyssodesmus
Tyrodesmus
Diodontodesminae - Solomon Islands
Diodontodesmus
Erythrhacinae
Hoplurorhachinae - Borneo
Phyodesminae- Borneo
Phyodesmus
Polydesmorhachinae -Palawan island, Philippines
Psammodesminae - Neotropical America
Psammodesmus
Psaphodesminae - Indonesia, east of Wallace's line
Taphodesminae
Taphodesmus

Unplaced
The following genera have not yet been placed into a subfamily
Hoffmanorhacus
Nanorrhacus
Proaspis

Classification history
The family (originally misspelled "Platyrrhacidae") was named by Reginald Pocock in 1895 to include the single genus Platyrhacus. Shortly after, Orator F. Cook added Acanthodesmus, Odontodesmus, and Trachelodesmus. By 1897, additional works by Cook, Pocock, and Filippo Silvestri had increased the number of genera to 37.

The North American genera Euryurus, Auturus, and Illiniurus, were long-considered to constitute a sub-group of Platyrhacidae (i.e. the subfamily Euryurinae or tribe Euryurini in various classifications), until separated as a distinct family (Euryuridae) by Hoffman in 1998 and allied closer to Xystodesmidae. Similarly and concurrently, several neotropical genera previously placed in other subgroups of Platyrhacidae were removed and elevated to full family status: the Aphelidesmidae.

Gigantic cargo ship to call at Los Angeles port
The ultra-large cargo ship CMA CGM will stop at the Port of Los Angeles on Dec. 26, becoming the first ship of its size to dock in North America. More will come as large ports like Los Angeles and Long Beach have been remodeling wharves and channels to accommodate such big ships.

One of the world's largest cargo ships arrives at the Port of Los Angeles early Saturday on its first voyage around the world.
French shipping company CMA CGM named its newest ultra-large container ship for one of America's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin. It was launched Dec. 10.
When it stops at the Port of Los Angeles on its maiden voyage, it will be the largest cargo ship ever to arrive in North America. Port spokesman Phillip Sanfield said the port has spent the past ten years getting ready to handle ships this size.
"We've dredged our main channel and our berths, we've fortified our wharves, we've got on-dock rail so that the trains are right adjacent to the dock to take these goods to market," Sanfield said.
At 1,300 feet long, the Benjamin Franklin is 200 feet longer than downtown LA's tallest building. When fully loaded with nearly 18,000 TEUs of shipping containers (one TEU is equivalent to a 20-foot long cargo container), the stack will rise a couple hundred feet above the ship's water line.
The ship is 177 feet wide, making it both too wide and long to fit through the Panama Canal, even after its planned expansion is completed.
Ships like this can carry about one-third more cargo than the average container ships that come into L.A. Sanfield said the port can expect more mega ships like this in the future. That's because the biggest cost in shipping is the fuel for ships. One huge ship uses less fuel than two smaller ships. A crew of 27 operates the Benjamin Franklin.
To see this bit of maritime history chug into the Port of L.A., you'll have to be an early riser. It docks at Pier 400 hours before dawn, so it can be ready to unload when the next shift of dock workers arrive.
The Benjamin Franklin is scheduled to dock in Long Beach in early 2016.

Home Top 10 Top 10 Amitabh Bachchan Movies that every Bollywood Lover must watch
Top 10 Bollywood Movies
Top 10 Amitabh Bachchan Movies that every Bollywood Lover must watch
Kritika Murari
Amitabh Bachchan is the godfather of Bollywood. He is the undisputed king of B-Town and this position will be his for many years to come. In the year 1999, he defeated many Hollywood legends to win the title of the "Greatest Star of stage or screen of the Millennium" in an online poll by BBC. Beginning with Saat Hindustani( for which he received the National Film Award for Best Newcomer) and his latest movie being Wazir. Here's a list of the Top 10 Amitabh Bachchan Movies that every Bollywood Lover must watch (the list is in chronological order not based on his performance)–
1. Zanjeer (1973)
Zanjeer Poster
Zanjeer was the movie that made Amitabh Bachchan what he is today. Giving birth to the 'Angry Young Man', Amitabh Bachchan turned into a superstar after this movie. His performance as Vijay was restrained and inhibited, brilliantly displaying his character's internal turmoil and fear.
2. Abhimaan (1973)
Abhimaan Poster
The story of a singer who convinces his new wife to enter show-business, but his pride is wounded when she outshines him. Jaya Bhaduri was good as the wife and Amitabh gave a dynamite performance, first as the heartthrob, then as the lover and finally as the egotistical husband. He proved he can do better than the angry young man roles.
3. Deewaar (1975)
Deewaar Poster
Some skeptics often wonder why Amitabh Bachchan is such a big deal. If you are one of those people, you need to watch Deewaar now. Deewaar is one of those movies breaks all the norms and still manages to become successful and also a timeless classic. Die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fans often rave that this was and will be his best performance always.
4. Kabhi Kabhie (1976)
Kabhi Kabhie Poster
A timeless Yash Chopra romantic movie, Amitabh brought out the romantic in him with this movie. This movie is all about the power of love, how love stays strong even after years and years. You will be completely blown away with Amitabh's performance during some very unsettling situations. A timeless romance with power-packed performances.
5. Don (1978)
Don Poster
The original DON "Jisko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Nahi, Namumkin Hai!" Amitabh showed all his talents from being a badass cool guy to a goofy paan-eating guy and then back again from a goofball to an imposter trying to be the badass cool dude and he portrayed all three characters flawlessly! Methinks Amitabh was born to play this role.
6. Sharaabi (1984)
Sharaabi Poster
Amitabh Bachchan gave one of the best performances of his life in Sharaabi as a Sharaabi. He superbly portrayed the role of a drunkard who can also be funny, classy, romantic, and knows how to treat a lady right! Sharaabi is one of the finest movies of his career and if you are a Bollywood lover, I recommend you to watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet.
7. Agneepath (1990)
Agneepath Poster
You would be surprised to know that Agneepath was declared a box-office failure but Amitabh Bachchan garnered the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in ths movie. All thanks to him that the movie has developed a cult status was even remade in 2012.
8. Black (2005)
Black Poster
In the revolutionary movie Black, he played the role of a teacher of a blind and deaf girl for which he received another National Award, a Filmfare Award for Best Actor and a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor. Amitabh was absolutely mesmerizing as the alcoholic teacher who knows whats best for his student.
9. Paa (2009)
Paa Poster
Big-B received another National Award for Best Actor for playing a progeria patient in R. Balki's Paa. He makes you forget the Amitabh you know and makes you believe what you are seeing. His portrayal of 'Auro' is like a mgical spell cast by him!
10. Piku (2015)
Piku Poster
This heart-warming movie about a father-daughter relationship reminds us of why Amitabh Bachchan, is Amitabh Bachchan. Not once throughout the movie will you feel that he was 'acting' – it just felt so real, so relatable, so genuine and so simple. He received the much-deserved National Film Award for Best Actor and a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for Piku.

From 1st to 6th October 2014 Rome will house once more the International Antiques Biennial, now in its 9th edition. The Alessandro Cesati gallery belongs to the group of selected antique dealers which exhibits since its first edition, always distinguishing for the uniqueness of the works which have met each time the appreciation of the Roman and International public. This year again the selected works of art will surprise the visitors for their beauty and originality, as for the elegant terracotta bust by Giovanni Gonnelli, called Il Cieco da Gambassi, blind sculptor already famous in the XVII century and pupil of Pietro Tacca, dated and signed "IOANNES GAMBASSIUS, CIVIS VOLATERRANUS, CAECUS FECIT 1646", or the refined sculpture by Libero Andreotti "La donna col popone", monogrammed and dated 1917, homage to the characters of ancient memory. The Alessandro Cesati gallery will exhibit also: a very rare example of XVII century Iconostasis Royal Doors from a Greek church, still preserving the wooden and pictorial decoration and a very fine low relief depicting a Nativity, result of the great Southern Italian wax modelling tradition.
The wonderful Palazzo Venezia will be once again the perfect context for the International Antiques Biennial which, taking place during the European Semester of Italian Presidency, will present its new concept that focuses the key points of excellence, internationalization, innovation.


I'd purchased Desert Beige earlier which was too dark for my medium skin tone, then I purchased Golden Beige. Gives a matte but natural looking finish. I tried applying with my usual brush but made it look streaky so switched over to a sponge which worked perfect. Applies smoothly and blends out well. It does have some tackiness so I use a setting powder. I get light coverage with one coat & medium with two. With this foundation, I do need a concealer for my sun spots & blemishes. It's the perfect foundation for the summers as it doesnt feel heavy or break-up during the day (and being Selfie friendly is supposed to be its USP). Price point is also good and Expiry Date is 2021.
A few cons - the strong paint scent initially and the limited shades available in India.
Need a porefilling primer as it settled down into my pores & fine lines without one.

The budget for an individual workplace increased by 30% since the start of pandemic
Mihaela Petrescu Business Developer Workspace Studio
8 decembrie 2021 | 18:12
The average budget allocated per employee in Workspace Studio projects has increased compared to 2019, the year before the pandemic.
Thus, organizations invest on average over 2,500 euros / workstation.
90% of the workspace design projects carried out by Workspace Studio in 2021 were small and medium-sized projects, adapted for teams of 50-200 people.
Most projects were for spaces with areas between 300 and 1000 square meters, the total budget allocated per project being between 100,000 and 500,000 euros.
The overall design supports social distance, which at the psychological level most of those who return to the office need after almost 2 years of remote work.
At the same time allows connection and collaboration, these being the main reasons why you want to return to the office.
Share of common areas in Workspace Studio projects rose to almost 50% of the project's value, compared to 20-25% as pre-pandemic.
Most conference rooms and individual offices have disappeared, being replaced by acoustic booths, which accommodate up to 4-6 people.

The following vignettes describe the circumstances for killings not ruled self-defense by private individuals with permits to carry concealed handguns. The incidents below all occurred in Iowa. The descriptions include the current, known status of any charges filed against the concealed carry killer as reported by news sources as well as noting instances where the perpetrator committed suicide.
Circumstances: On August 27, 2017, concealed handgun permit holder Lamar C. Wilson, 23, allegedly shot Kaleek Jones, 22, and two other men in an Iowa City pedestrian mall. The victims were found in a walkway between the Sheraton Hotel and Martini's bar, collapsed in front of a parking ramp leading to the Sheraton, and on the ramp itself. Jones died from his wounds two days after the shooting. An autopsy classified his death as a homicide caused by gunshot wounds to the back and neck. Wilson was carrying two guns when he was taken into custody near the scene of the shooting. According to police, he admitted firing several rounds at a number of people. An acquaintance reportedly told police that Wilson shot at the victims at close range as the result of an "ongoing feud." Wilson was charged with first degree murder, attempted murder, and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. Wilson claims he acted in self defense and plans to argue the shooting was justified under Iowa's "stand your ground" law which took effect on July 1, 2017. Earlier in 2017, Wilson was found not guilty of first degree murder in a 2013 shooting in Illinois.
UPDATE: On February 7, 2018, Lamar Wilson was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, two counts of assault with the intent to inflict serious injury, and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. Wilson was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

Norris and Taylor had been involved in an earlier dispute at a child's birthday party, and encountered each other outside the Prime Mart at approximately 1:25 AM. "Me and her had kind of a stare down," according to Norris. Norris and Taylor began physically fighting and were separated by bystanders before the fight started up again. After the fight was broken up a second time, Norris went toward her car to retrieve a shoe that she lost in the scuffle when she heard gunfire. A friend of Norris' said she saw Ernst start shooting, and Norris said she saw Ernst holding the gun after the shooting.

Survival Guide 2017: Ad Tech Turns Digital Duopoly Into Three-Way Brawl
By George Slefo. Published on January 09, 2017
Ad Age's Survival Guide maps the changes and challenges in the year ahead, from new ad-tech wars to shifting policies in Washington, D.C.
Amazon, Facebook and Google this year are set to square off in an unprecedented battle for programmatic ad dollars that's sure to send shock waves throughout the industry — but will hopefully give marketers and publishers more options in the process.
Though the three tech titans have a combined market cap of $1.21 trillion, only Google is firmly entrenched among marketers' and publishers' automated ad deals, via its DoubleClick empire. But the meteoric rise of an ad-tech tactic called header bidding has Amazon and Facebook smelling opportunity. Each plans to appeal to advertisers and publishers differently with new offerings. And more competition among the web's greatest powers should mean only good things.
"We are entering a world where three major titans are going to be competing for ad dollars," said Tim Wolfe, VP of revenue operations at USA Today. "From a premium publisher's perspective, this is a good thing. I think the three of them bring a lot of attributes and flavor at scale."
The war won't stop at desktop and mobile screens, either. "This is a warm-up for a much bigger battle that involves a much bigger screen," said Andrew Casale, CEO of ad-tech firm Index Exchange. "Before long, this will be a fight for the screen that sits in front of the sofa — TV."
New announcements are expected as early as the first quarter, with insiders anticipating even bigger moves by midyear.
In Amazon's case, it will offer publishers a trove of data about their readers. Google will move to levels of transparency that will be the stuff of marketers' dreams. And Facebook, meanwhile, will continue to build out its Facebook Audience Network, which reaches users when they're off the network.
Header bidding technology upended the traditional waterfall structure, which saw online publishers take bids in succession from distinct groups of buyers, starting with the most promising and taking the first acceptable offer that came along. Header bidding lets publishers take multiple offers for their ads all at once and gives advertisers a more even shot at inventory in the process.
For some, however, that's only one of the important results. Others argue that the rise of header bidding has confirmed the fears of publishers who long suspected Google of gaming its own system to its advantage.
"At the foundation of Google's programmatic business is the fact they are the sole arbitrator of deciding who gets to share an ad," said John Donahue, chief product officer at Sonobi. "Well, that went away in 2016."
Google last April introduced its header bidding alternative, called exchange bidding dynamic allocation, or EBDA. Although still in testing, the product is expected to arrive in the second quarter of this year, several people familiar with its plans told Ad Age.
During the final months of 2016, Google held a first-of-its-kind meeting that high-level executives from five or six of the leading exchanges attended. The company spent several hours with the group trying to convince them that its EBDA solution isn't a trap. Publishers saw their ad rates climb when header bidding allowed them to collect more bids than DoubleClick alone, so some are wary of going all-in with Google again.

When we picture a desperate student running endless tests on his dataset until some feeble point finally meets statistical reporting conventions, we are quick to dismiss the results. But the underlying issue is ubiquitous: it is hard to analyze data without getting caught in a hypothesis drift, and if you do not seriously consider the repercussions on statistical inference, you too are susceptible to picking up spurious correlations. This is also true for randomized trials that otherwise go to great lengths to ensure clean causal attribution. But experimental (and other prospective) research has a trick up its sleeve: the pre-analysis plan (PAP) can credibly overcome the problem by spelling out subgroups, statistical specifications, and virtually every other detail of the analysis before the data is in. This way, it can clearly establish that tests are not a function of outcomes – in other words, that results are what they are.
So should PAPs become the new reality for experimental research? Not so fast, say some, because there are costs involved. Obviously, it takes a lot of time and effort to define the meaningful analysis of a dataset that isn't even in yet. But more importantly, there is a risk that following a PAP backfires and actually reduces the value we get out of research: perhaps one reason why hypothesis drift is so widespread because it is a cost-effective way of learning, and by tying our hands, we might stifle the valuable processes can only take place once data is in. Clearly, powerful insights that came out of experimental work – both in social and biomedical research – have been serendipitous. So are we stuck in limbo, "without a theory of learning" that might provide some guidance on PAPs?
I argue that much of the discussion about the merits and dangers of PAPs is beside the point. The problem is not that the research process is inherently flawed because data must be analyzed before it exists; the problem is that researchers got used to presenting exploratory analyses as hypothesis-driven when they aren't. One straightforward solution is simply to be transparent about what is what, and honestly document research: if we it can be understood, there is no need to regulate it. So before discussing the need for hundred-page PAPs, I believe we should focus our attention on making public what we are already used to producing: proposals, data, code, et cetera. Simply getting access to these would allow people to get a fairly good sense of the degree of exploration that has been undertaken (and expose a lot of other useful things, like errors). Sure, the distinction between chance and discovery might not become crystal clear – but that's ok, because our understanding of how useful knowledge is generated is equally murky. And over time, a change in transparency norms will likely lead researchers to put more thought into documenting their hypotheses, simply out of reputational concerns.
So I believe that collective action on PAPs isn't required, but that it is time to get our act together on transparency – a classic public goods problem, and one that regulation can help solve. A transparency policy for a funder could look something like this. But if you are a researcher, don't wait: the tools to document and share the full details of your research, warts and all, already exist.
