Alternate intersection solution promoted for TCH and McKenzie in Saanich
Province isn't outright saying no to proposed plan that brings future light rail into picture

Feb. 2, 2016 6:00 p.m.
A retired View Royal machinist and a Saanich economist want the Ministry of Highways to give serious consideration to another plan for solving the commuter traffic tie-ups for which the intersection at Trans-Canada Highway and McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road has long been blamed.
Dick Faulks, a View Royal resident and treasurer for sustainable growth advocate Island Transformations, says the province needs to plan now to include accommodations for light rail in any changed configuration for the intersection, which the province is budgeting roughly $85 million.
"I just want the ministry to spend less money, take up less land and make preparation for regional rail," he said.
Previous surveys and think tanks looking at future growth in the area have placed a regional rail system as a priority and a good long-term solution to our transportation challenges, he said.
Faulks' take on the three options that have been presented to the public for possible adoption is that they are actually only one option, with three slightly different designs. He said it's possible to spend far less money and at the same time, create infrastructure that looks to the future.
"We must prepare for the installation of rail," he said. "That's where – if people in our highways department would look forward and see that – we should be going."
Faulks, 84, has been a booster of commuter rail for decades. With that in mind, he said the three options attempt to "solve an intersection with a superhighway."
No definitive costing has been projected for the alternative proposal being promoted by Faulks and Rob Wickson, the founder of Island Transformations and current president of the Gorge-Tillicum Community Association. However, it sees some significant changes to the flyover and modified cloverleaf scenarios now being analyzed.
Among them are the presence of a tunnel on the outbound side of the TCH, which would run under the a bridge connecting the highway and Admirals with McKenzie. It would cover two non-stop lanes heading toward the West Shore and also provide space for a rail stop running parallel between the roadway and the Galloping Goose Trail. Wickson said until the region has commuter rail, the tunnel area could be used as a dedicated bus exchange.
The proposal calls for inbound traffic, going straight or turning left, to still be subject to a light.
But with outbound highway traffic not a factor, vehicles turning left onto McKenzie – over 10,000 a day – would only be stopped when traffic coming from Admirals Road had a green light, thus improving flow and easing congestion on the commute into Victoria from the West Shore and points north.
Wickson, for his part, is equally interested in the future of his neighbourhood. He calls the Admirals and McKenzie/TCH intersection "the entryway to the urban environment" of Greater Victoria and as such, creating a high-speed section of roadway leading to another urban intersection at Tillicum Road simply doesn't make sense.
"This is such an important intersection for Greater Victoria, not Saanich or Victoria but everyone," he said. "We've got to look at this much more carefully, and away from just the transportation point of view. We can't just look at this as a place for vehicles to move through, but look at it as a place that involves pedestrians, cyclists and a neighbourhood."
Faulks and Wickson said they've had conversations with Ministry of Transportation officials on the matter, through the public consultation process last fall and otherwise.
In an emailed statement, a Ministry spokeswoman wrote that staff have been meeting with community associations since mid-October and that process continues.
"Design suggestions and other considerations are part of that consultation process and we welcome input from all stakeholders, including suggestions from the Gorge-Tillicum residents association," she wrote.
The province is not only keeping the objectives of safety, efficiency and reliability in mind with regard to public input received and technical and financial information gained, she stated, "Other important considerations are how to accommodate transit, pedestrians and cyclists, and future population growth."
Wickson said he'll push for a different approach to solving the region's worst traffic challenge, even if that means taking the province to court to force it to look at other options.
As he has for years in general, Faulks plans to keep banging the drum for rail when it comes to the redesign of the intersection. He holds out hope that by keeping this "other option" in the spotlight, public opinion will force the province to take a step back and revisit its alternatives for the project.
"It is frustrating, but I can't give up," he said, "because logic says if we want to save money, you have to do the best thing and look to the future."

One Flint water researcher files complaint with state against another
Wayne State University professor Shawn McElmurry (left) and Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards are shown in these Flint Journal file photos.
By Ron Fonger | rfonger1@mlive.com
FLINT, MI -- One Flint water researcher has turned his issues with another into a license complaint with the state of Michigan.
Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards has filed a statement of complaint against the professional engineering license of Shawn McElmurry, the Wayne State University researcher who led an investigation into Legionnaires' disease in Flint during the city's water crisis.
"Dr. McElmurry appropriated ideas that were not his for a (National Institutes of Health) research proposal," the complaint says. "He also repeatedly claimed that he had been working on Flint water problems since 2010."
Edwards claims McElmurry "leveraged those falsifications" into leading the Flint Area Community Health and Environment Partnership, Legionnaires' research funded by $3.35 million in state funds.
Edwards testimony could spark battle of scientists in Flint water crisis
McElmurry led a research team -- Flint Area Community Health and Environment Partnership -- that contracted with the state to study the cause of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks in Flint during parts of 2014 and 2015.
FACHEP ended its relationship with the state at the end of last year without discovering a certain cause of outbreaks of Legionnaires', but it published studies saying 80 percent of cases in Genesee County between 2014 and 2015 can be linked to the city's drinking water supply.
Edwards and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services have called FACHEP's worked flawed, and the complaint says McElmurry's "lack of competence and expertise" led to the criminal prosecution of the director and chief medical executive at DHHS.
Attorneys for both Nick Lyon and Dr. Eden Wells called Edwards to testify during their preliminary examinations in Genesee District this week, combating earlier testimony by McElmurry.
McElmurry claimed his research team encountered resistance from DHHS as it attempted to determine a link between Flint water and the Legionnaires' outbreaks.
Researcher says Wells tried to find the truth in Flint water crisis
"That's the wrong message at the wrong time in the wrong place," he said. "Getting the wrong message out to the public can hurt people, and I believe it did hurt people."
The Wayne State professor said in an email to MLive-The Flint Journal that he stands by FACHEP's work.
"It is very unfortunate when individuals who are unable to defend their work on the scientific merits resort to personal attacks," the email says. "Personal attacks do not help advance our understanding or help the people of Flint."
"Our work has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication in some of the most prestigious scientific journals in the nation. I stand by the quality of our science and the integrity of our work in Flint."
Edwards said the complaint is a matter of public record and said in the complaint that he is willing to testify at any hearing on the subject.
Witness says state fought testing Flint faucet filters for Legionella
"I remember Dr. Wells coming up to me and saying, filters would be a red line."
"We have expressed serious concerns about the ethical conduct of FACHEP's leader," Edwards said.
Pardeep Toor, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, confirmed the department is investigating the complaint against McElmurry.
Once a complaint is filed, the agency may investigate to determine whether allegations are a violation of the state's Occupational Code, Toor said in an email to The Journal.
LARA may issue a formal complaint against the licensee, who can request a compliance conference to potentially settle the formal complaint prior to any case hearing.
If there is a case hearing, an administrative law judge presides and determines if a violation has occurred. A licensing board or agency official issues any final order.
Possible penalties include license limitation, suspension, revocation, fine or probation, Toor said.

The great internet sex war
In the aftermath of the social network Tumblr banning all explicit content, some writers have considered the wider implications. The reasons for the bans are pretty clear – for example, Tumblr has a problem with illegal content and it's easier and cheaper to ban all potentially problematic content than to moderate it – but the results can be far-reaching.
Steven Thrasher in The Atlantic explains What Tumblr's Porn Ban Really Means.
But the Tumblr adult-content purge reveals the enormous cultural authority, financial extraction, and what the philosopher Michel Foucault called "biopower" that tech companies wield over our life. As intimate interactions are ever more mediated by tech giants, that power will only increase, and more and more of our humanity is bound to be mediated through content moderation. That moderation is subjective, culturally specific, and utterly political. And Silicon Valley doesn't have a sterling track record of getting it right.
The problem with such subjectivity is summed up pretty well by one trans person's question: they're undergoing transition from male to female. At what point do their nipples become "female-presenting", which is explicitly prohibited in the new Tumblr rules? It's the same issue that means Facebook takes down breastfeeding images: boobs are just for porn, right?
There's a problem with some explicit content. But not all of it. For some people it's an opportunity to explore sexuality and identity in a safe environment. Take trans people, for example. Explicit Tumblr blogs are among the very few places where you can see positive portrayal of trans men and trans women as sexually desirable. They're also among the few places where you can see what your body might look like after hormones, or after surgery. Content bans affect that content too.
Thrasher again:
Using social media intimately in our life hasn't been all bad. Indeed, as a recent scientific article by Oliver Haimson on some 240 Tumblr gender "transition blogs" showed, social media can play "an important role in adding complexity to people's experiences managing changing identities during life transitions."
I can attest to that: before I came out I spent a lot of time reading LGBTI Tumblr blogs that posted what the new rules might well prohibit.
Over at Engadget, Violet Blue describes "the internet war on sex".
While we were all distracted by the moist dumpster fire of Tumblr announcing its porn ban, Facebook updated its startling, wide-ranging anti-sex policy that is surely making evangelicals and incels cream their jeans (let's just hope they don't post about that). Facebook's astonishing ban on language pertaining to sexuality, among many other things sex-related, is so sweeping and egregiously censorious that it's impossible to list all its insanity concisely.
It's called the "Sexual Solicitation" policy. Along with "sexual slang," the world's standard-bearing social media company is policing and banning "sex chat or conversations," "mentioning sexual roles, sexual preference, commonly sexualized areas of the body" and more.
This, remember, is the social network that can't tell the difference between hardcore pornography and women sharing photos of themselves breastfeeding.
Once again, the rules are designed to address a problem with some content. However:
…the arc of internet sex censorship is long, and it bends as far away from justice (and reason) as possible. Corporations controlling the internet had been steadily (and sneakily, hypocritically) moving this direction all along, at great expense to women, LGBT people, artists, educators, writers, and marginalized communities — and to the delight of bigots and conservatives everywhere.
The Facebook and Tumblr news came after Starbucks announced it will start filtering its WiFi with one of those secret porn blacklists that always screw productivity for anyone researching grown-up topics, and invariably filter out crucial health and culture websites.
The list goes on. Instagram goose-steps for Facebook's censors; Amazon buries sex books; Patreon, Cloudflare, PayPal, and Square are among many which are tacitly unsafe for anyone whose business comes near sexuality. Google's sex censorship timeline is bad, YouTube is worse. Twitter teeterson the edge of sex censorship amidst its many uncertainties of trust for its users.
The problem here is that even if you agree with the rationale behind the steps the tech giants take, there is always collateral damage – and that damage tends to affect minorities and creative people and educators.
Here's an example from a few weeks back in Sweden: a government-run website made a sex education video. Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat blocked it.
← "Our side concocted the 'bathroom safety' argument" → "The men seem strangely cured, not like medicine but like meat"

SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 6m x 6m x 4m glass containment cell, which must be held at a consistent 80% humidity and temperature of no less than twenty(20) degrees Celsius.
Why 6x6x4? Would containment fail if it were 7x7x5 or 5x5x3? Dimensions shouldn't be provided unless absolutely necessary.
The whole "number (#)" thing is a Series I relic. We don't really use it anymore.
"is to be" is more tonally appropriate than "must be".
No water, in any phase, can be allowed to exit the glass chamber.
Nitpicking here, but "of any phase" sounds better than "in any phase".
The "can be" here kinda implies it's physically impossible for water to exit the chamber. Use "is to be".
Equipment necessary to maintain humidity are contained within.
Setting aside the weird sentence structure here (your vowel is separated from its noun by the majority of the sentence), the statement itself isn't necessary. We can assume equipment necessary to maintain SCProcs is included in containment - it's similar to how we can be assumed living entities are given food and water.
Only D-Class personnel are allowed entry into the chamber, for the purpose of maintaining said equipment or for experimentation.
Why aren't researchers allowed in? I get that they're more valuable to the Foundation than D-Class, but they're also trained to know how to act responsibly in potentially dangerous situations. In fact, I'd say it's probably safer to have a trained professional dealing with the thing than a D-Class, not to mention how hard it would be for researchers to study the anomaly without direct contact.
This primary glass cell must be contained with a secondary containment chamber measuring 10m x 10m 10m, in which the humidity must be at, or as close to 0% as possible.
"within", not "with"
More unnecessary measurements - just say the second chamber must be larger.
You need a comma between "close to" and "0%".
Any change in the humidity of this Secondary containment cell must be immediately reported to the site director.
"Secondary" shouldn't be capitalized.
What about this situation is so dangerous that the site director has to be notified? Why can't security and containment specialists on-site deal with the potential breach? Unless the entire site is in imminent mortal danger, I don't really think top personnel need to be involved.
SCP-XXXX appears as a humanoid silhouette, and is extremely hostile to all mammals, both living and deceased, but given the choice, strongly prefers live prey.
Run-on, try condensing and splitting: "SCP-XXXX appears as a humanoid silhouette. The entity demonstrates predatory behaviour towards all mammals, living or deceased, though prefers live prey given the opportunity."
Living humans are also targeted before other live mammals.
Awkward wording - try: "Humans are its preferred prey."
When any mammal, including humans comes into contact with SCP-XXXX, they are drained of all moisture over the course of 5-58 seconds.
You just said the thing likes humans, you don't need to say humans are included.
This leaves its subjects severely desiccated.
That's implicit in draining a living being of all moisture.
Conceptually, there are some major issues to address. The first is the lack of narrative. Series IV scips are expected to have a self-contained story rather than just an anomalous concept. The biggest issue, though, is that the thing isn't really all that interesting. There's nothing here that particularly leaves me wanting more or thinking about the thing later on. It's just another killer humanoid. Most scips should have some mystery to them, some intriguing aspect or another that leaves you scratching your head or at least elicits an emotional response. Here, there aren't really any questions.
Humanoid scips are really, really hard to pull off even for veteran writers. I'm not saying it's impossible for a newcomer to do - SCP-3199 was written by a first-timer, and it's one of the better S4 entries so far. It just takes a lot of time and effort. In its current form, the entry's a bit of a stub, like it's half-done. For better help with the concept, go to Ideas and Brainstorming. They can help you refine the concept and give you a good foundation to build a narrative off of.
Hope I could help, best of luck!

Okay. Thanks. I might shelf this concept for a while. Appreciate the feedback. I did not know the number thing was relic from Series I, and ill work on having more of a contained story. I've got a couple other ideas bouncing around in my head i might try.

Prior to any treatment, patients will receive one (1) free 30 minute consultation to discuss their case and the options before them, risks and possible benefits. Nothing here or in said consultation should be construed as a replacement for western medical care or guarantee of success. It is the body's choice whether to accept help or not.
How much? Usually most patients are placed on the chronic schedule, the exception being if a person is normally able to get pregnant and just wants to enhance the possibility of conception.

Bali Authorities Seize Another Shipment Of Drugs Bound For New Year's Eve Celebrations
The National Narcotics Agency in Bali has successfully intercepted a stash of drugs set for distribution around the island during Christmas and New Year's celebrations. The National Narcotics Agency (BNI) has arrested an Indonesian national in connection with the drugs shipment which arrived on the island from the UK.
Bali's BNN successfully seized 200.76 grams of cocaine, with an estimated street value of IDR 1 billion (USD 62,000). During a press conference on Wednesday, 7th December, the BNN also showcased narcotics seized in other raids conducted in October and November. These missions included arrests and the recovery of considerable amounts of marijuana.
Speaking to the press, the Head of the BNN Narcotics Eradication Unit, Putu Agus Arjaya, told reporters that the cocaine was shipped to Indonesia from the UK. They believe that the real masterminds are operating a drug syndicate from outside of Bali, using local people as runners in return for large amounts of cash.
Arjaya explained, "The perpetrators were ordered by someone who we are currently doing an in-depth investigation [on], we mapped out in collaboration with the Customs and Excise Office of the Bali NTB NTT Regional Office". He shared that the Indonesian man arrested for receiving the parcel, known by his initials AJ, was promised a salary of IDR 10 million for distributing the drugs across Bali.
Arjaya continued, "Now in Bali, the price of cocaine ranges from IDR 4-5 million per gram. The amount [seized] was 200g, so it would be around IDR 1 billion if cashed". The media also heard from the Head of the BNN Bali Province, Bridagider General Police Raden Nurhadi Yuwono said that the arrest and successful interception of the drug operation comes as a result of a collaboration between the BNN Narcotics Eradication Unit, Bali Customs Office, and Ngurah Rai Customs.
He told reporters how officers were alerted to a parcel suspected of continuing drugs at a postal warehouse in East Denpasar. Police conducted surveillance and tracked the parcel's recipient. At the right moment, police moved in to arrest AJ, who is an online motorcycle taxi driver originally from Bondowoso in East Java.
Upon opening the parcel, officers found the stash hidden in a pair of shoes. Aj has been charged with possessing narcotics with intent to supply and now faces a minimum of five years in jail, though the maximum sentence for drug charges in Indonesia is life in prison.
Police are confident that the 200g of cocaine were due for reselling around the Christmas and New Year holidays. They believe the demand for cocaine especially comes from foreign tourists. At the end of November, Bali Police announced one of their most successful drug busts of the year to date.
Badung Police intercepted a drug dealer in South Bali who had received a hefty shipment of narcotics set for distribution and sale during the end-of-year holidays. They subsequently confirmed the arrest of 40-year-old Andi Prayitno in Legian and told the media that he was an 'old player' in the underworld of drug dealing in Bali.
During the operation, police seized one kilogram of methamphetamine and 2,000 ecstasy pills. Prayitno told police that he had received just IDR 1 million for receiving the shipment and would receive payment again after cutting and distributing the drugs around the Badung area during the New Year holidays.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, 28th November, the Head of the Denpasar Police, Kombes Pol Bambang Yugo Pamungkas, said, "Members conducted an investigation for about two weeks. It is known that this suspect was going to take items deposited at a hotel in Legian. After taking the items deposited right in the hotel lobby, members immediately ambushed him". Prayitno remains in police custody on drug charges and faces years behind bars.

Drugs is probably the only tabù for corruption. In the west drugs dealers are protected by high police officers to help feeding housewives and many future burocrat kids...
Island of paranoia.
How can we be confident the confiscated drugs is off the streets?
Two months ago the newly appointed East Java police chief (Teddy) was arrested for drug trafficking: He allegedly sold drugs police seized and kept in evidence lockers.
Back in February this year 3 police officers were sentenced to death in North Sumatra after being found guilty of selling some of the drugs police seized and kept in evidence lockers.
It is great to hear that authorities are trying very hard to clean up the Island off the Gods. It is a very special place for me , and drugs and crime needs to be stamped out.Keep up the good work.
It seems that it was humanitarian aid.

Water Tee Pees. Tomato Tee Pees Extending Growing Seasons.
Referred to as Tomato tee pees , water teepees, garden teepees or cloches , they are basically inexpensive sheets of connected plastic tubes filled with water, They form a self-supporting wall or protective cone around young plants. They are proven effective at extending the early growing season.
They are sold in Blue Green and Red. Red Tomato teepees are particularly effective for tomato plants, as red has been proven to enhance the development of immature tomato plants. It is believed the color red sends a false signal to the plants that they are overcrowded stimulating them to gain height and foliage at an accelerated rate.
The Blue/Green varieties work better on Peppers and eggplants. Theoretically, lacking the stress of climatic extremes, the plants can focus energy into producing fruit.
There are some drawbacks to the water tee pees.
They create a hiding spot , as well as attracting slugs.They take up more space, so in a square foot gardening scenario for instance -are not advisable.
You need to prep the ground early -- up to a month before planting They are for temporary use in to get a jump on the season when the weather is still nippy. They must be removed come full summer weather or you'll fry your plants. It can be difficult to remove them alone. You need a helper.

Port Townsend v. the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Since the movie bug caught me at a relatively young age, I've been following the Oscars for countless years. But what's changed for me in recent years is how dazed and confused I am by glaring omissions in the nominations. LITTLE WOMEN received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture of the Year, yet Greta Gerwig was not nominated as Best Director.
But to complain is folly, as I have been spoiled by Port Townsend moviegoers. Nationally, the top three movies in the country last year were AVENGERS: ENDGAME, THE LION KING and TOY STORY 4. I played two of those, but only AVENGERS finished in the top 10 at the Rose. The top 3 movies at the Rose in 2019 were MAIDEN, FANTASTIC FUNGI and DOWNTON ABBEY. And a local film called THE BOWMAKERS was the 8th most popular film at the Rose. If there's a curve or trend or probability to national box office grosses, Port Townsend moviegoers - thankfully - throw a wrench in that curve with their singular, curious, wonderful taste in movies.
1917 had a great opening weekend, and will be holding over in the Rose for another week. LITTLE WOMEN holds over in the Starlight Room, and returning by demand - and as promised - KNIVES OUT. It shares the Rosebud screen with Best Picture nominee JOJO RABBIT.
Our annual free community screening in recognition of Martin Luther King Day is this coming Monday, with a showing of SELMA, by director Ava DuVernay. It starts at 12:30; no tickets necessary; first-come, first-seated.
The Community Arts Film Series continues this Saturday and Sunday with a screening of STUFFED, a lively look at new generation of taxidermists. Check out these glowing reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Our Starlight classic film next Wednesday (1/22) will be SAHARA (1943) starring Humphrey Bogart and Lloyd Bridges. We present this in partnership with Key City Public Theatre. Their Visions in Motion 2020 program pulls together threads of art and history from 1920 to 2020 to celebrate the power of expression over oppression. In this multimedia installation, painting collides with theater, dance and music to defy the bounds of conformity. The project is inspired by the themes in the Rite of Spring ballet, and the play Roger Bloomer, written by John Howard Lawson. Lawson also wrote SAHARA. Lawson was one of the Hollywood Ten, the first group of American film industry professionals to be blacklisted by Congress during the 1950s McCarthy era's investigation of communist influence in Hollywood.

A: You posted different code from what the error is reporting. I'm going to assume you just changed for line in f[search]: to for line in passwrd:. In that case you need to first check if you even have search available in your file. You can either put it first:
if search in f:
    for line in f[search]:
        ...

or give it an empty default:
for line in f.get(search, []):
    ...

A: Once you open it with shelve if "search" is in the dictionary it's saved as(f), if it is saved it does the if statement if it isn't it goes to else.
print '\n'
search = raw_input("For which account are you searching: ")
f = shelve.open("passwords.dat")
if search in f:
    account = f[search]
    print account
else:
    print "I'm sorry we could not find any account related to " + search
print '\n'
f.close()

"Industry Standard" Office Space Measurement
Different cities, different landlords, different space measurement methods! Accurately defining your leased square footage is important. How can you best protect your company's interests and assume that you are getting the amount of usable and rentable square footage that you bargained for?
Since 1915, the BOMA Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings has been the only floor measurement method for commercial real estate approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The BOMA measurement standard is a must for tenants, building owners, facilities managers, appraisers, architects, leasing professionals and when calculating leases, allocating building expenses to cost centers, or comparing occupancy costs, loads and efficiencies.
Office building design has evolved considerably in the last 20 years, encompassing a host of building-wide amenities including spacious entrance lobbies with concierge services, health clubs, daycare centers, per diem conference rooms, and the like. It became evident that the BOMA Standard needed to reflect the fact that these design elements provided a benefit to all building tenants. In 1996, the Standard was completely revised to reflect a more and equitable method of floor measurement.
The ANSI/BOMA Z.65.1 (1996) is a building-wide method. That means it fairly accounts for spaces in the building that benefit all tenants. To calculate a tenant's Rentable Area, you have to first define such terms as Dominant Portion, Usable Area, Floor Common Area, Floor Rentable Area and Building Common Area. Many of these are new definitions, but in general the Rentable Area equals the usable area plus a percentage of the common area on the floor, hallways, bathrooms, telephone closets, building lobbies and demising/exterior partitions.


Conversion rate optimization is the process of optimizing your sponsored search ads, landing pages, and overall website design to raise your conversion rate. Basically, the goal is for the highest possible percentage of visitors to your site to convert.
However, conversion rate optimization requires time, resources, and occasionally testing. Nonetheless, it's definitely worth it to familiarize yourself with the basics of conversion optimization.
Here are some strategies you can implement in order to maximize the chances that a visitor who arrives at your site will become a customer.

Unfortunately I didn't get the original UK-version, but the US-release "The Who Sings My Generation" which differs in the tracklisting (and has a clearly much worse cover), but I think it's a fair representation.
If it wasn't for on thing this album might have gone the way of a lot of the unknowns did, cause mostly this is popped up rhythm and blues. The only inkling that there's something else going on comes in at 1:40 into the first track, Out In The Street, where suddenly it sounds as if someone stumbles over the guitar. The mind goes "wait? what?" for a second, but then the bit of controlled noise is gone.
The only track they fail on is James Brown's Please, Please, Please, which sounds just like the worst possible outcome of four white Britons covering the hardest working man in show-biz. But still: way better than when they finally sold out.

Joost Vandebrug: "Bruce Lee and The Outlaw" was my life
Festivals, IceDocs, Interviews / Bruce Lee and the Outlaw, Icedocs	/1 Comment
Joost Vandebrug holding the IceDocs Award for the best film
Photo by Emma Mortimore
Joost Vandebrug is a Dutch photographer based in London and Antwerp, whose photo project from the streets of Bucharest grew into a feature-length documentary film Bruce Lee and the Outlaw. The film is now reaping awards on its festival tour and it also won the main prize at the first edition of IceDocs, where we had the opportunity to sit and talk with the director.
You are not a filmmaker by trade, you are a photographer and you just the inspiration from a photo project to convert it to an observational, but not strictly observational documentary film. How the creative process went?
I'll start with a beginning. As you said, I was in Bucharest as a photographer, I just wanted to get some inspiration, to get out of London. I was walking around and taking photos of the people I met on the streets, some of them were homeless, some weren't, it wasn't necessarily that I was looking for that, for shooting portraits. There was a boy I took some portraits of, his name turned out to be Costel. He was on the same spot the day after and I always develop my photos right away to try to find that people on the streets the day after to give back to them. So I found him again, gave him the photo of himself, show him the new photo, and I repeated that for a few days. And then he asked me if I wanted to see where he lived, in the tunnels under the streets of Bucharest and that's where it started.
The first time I went into the tunnels I realized that there is such an incredible situation, not yet story, and that I felt that if I was welcome there I would like to go back. And then I met the Bruce Lee guy in the tunnel, he was the leader and he was really happy to meet me, he really wanted to show me his tunnel and the people that he lived with and where he did all his cooking there, where he made all of his facilities. So, I was welcome to come back and I did, so I started to follow that group as a photography project first, but photography and film were always very close to each other in my work. There was not a harsh line between photographs and filming, so it gradually turned into a film project as well. I started documenting this group on several different cameras, including film cameras, and you can see the result.
How and why did Nicu become the protagonist of your work?
He was not initially, I was focusing on the entire group and on the whole system of tunnels, it was simply so amazing, so incredible to be there. Then after maybe two years, Nicu got really ill, as you could see in the film, and it was quite a significant moment in his life, and in mine, really, and it was quite obvious that if wanted to make a film and to zoom in on someone and tell the story through him, that had to be him. He is funny, he went through a significant period in his life, 12 to 18 years, plus he nearly died at one point, he was rescued by Raluca, the social worker, so there was quite a lot of things to show. That's how he became a protagonist, but only after years of already shooting.
There were no trust issues between you and your subjects?
No, not big ones. Because Bruce trusted me, he told everyone that I was OK, and that I should be left alone, that they shouldn't be stealing from me and of course that there were people occasionally who didn't really trust me, who didn't know what was going on. And I wasn't always able to come to them because of the language. I think the trust is about proving yourself and over time I proved myself to them to be OK.
You did it on different equipment, different formats… Was that a deliberate choice or was it just convenient to do it that way.
I tend to get too technical in my work, it doesn't necessarily show, but that's how I do it, but on another level I was comfortable to drop it, I was comfortable to do it with small cameras. Was it a choice? Yes and no. As a photographer, I strongly believe in a moment and the connection you have, not in lens or I don't know, I don't feel strongly about that and I translated it on the film. I quite enjoyed trying different formats and different techniques employed in the film.
Can you explain the differences in the pitch of voice and how you made them not to be heard? I mean, it's a significant period in someone's life, puberty…
Ah, yes. The voice breaking. It just happens, doesn't it. I realized that the best voice-overs of Nicu were the ones that were recorded accidentally, while he was watching himself, while he was just dreaming, or in the car… Hardly ever ones that I would sit down with him to try to do proper voice-overs. That never really resulted in the best lines. As a result of that, the whole voice-over was shot over the period of six years when the voice is breaking. So I was very concerned about that. When I listen to the early voice-overs it is so clear that there is a change. But there was nothing I could really do, it had happened. I couldn't re-record it, but it wouldn't be the same, you never get the same emotion and the way he said it for the first time. He is not an actor. So we just lived with it and in the audio post-production we pitched it a little bit, but the difference is still evident. For me. If I haven't mentioned it, no one would have noticed in the film. You just know it's Nicu throughout and that is what we wanted to do.
Non-linear editing… Was that the natural think to do?
I find very linear actually because it follows Nicu from when he was twelve to when he was 18. The only thing it breaks the line is his 18th birthday with which we start.
I found it pretty non-linear, I wasn't totally oriented what happens when, because he also reflects on his childhood, dreams… You still find it linear?
Yes, but there also different layers of it, there is dreaming in it, memories in it. The dream sequences with the snow are super-deliberate obviously and we want to get close to him and I wanted to have a sense of snow in there, which is significant for a child: the snow is something you can play with, but after you go home, you have to take a warm shower and change your clothes. For someone who is homeless, that is an entirely different ball game. But also his relationship with snow changed over the years and I wanted that in there. The reason you don't find it linear is the material that we had to deal with. The hospital and before that, I wasn't shooting that as a filmmaker, but as a photographer, I wasn't focusing on Nicu, I wasn't thinking about cutaways, the establishing shots, sequences… We had to work with what we had and it kinda helped the film to speak the language that it speaks now. It's bumpy, you will love it or you will hate it.
The other thing I really liked were your instincts, both on filmmaking and ethical level: when to get involved, when to let the situation happen by itself. Those were split-second decisions. How it felt? Was it hard for you?
I wasn't there as a filmmaker. If I was there as a filmmaker who is going after this project purely to make a film… I would probably arm myself, defend myself from certain emotions to get to me. It was too late for me, I was already in. When Nicu went to the hospital, I brought him. I stayed with him because it was the only way for him not to run away. Nothing was more important than him, not a film, not a photography project. When people ask me if it is the right thing for a filmmaker to intervene, to take someone to a hospital, I respect that question and I find it a very good topic to talk about as filmmakers and it could lead to other things, but I had never to make that decision. For me, there was no choice, if there was a sick child, I would take it to the hospital.
Did you keep in touch with the people from your film even though you don't live in Bucharest anymore?
I was there last week and, for example, whenever I win an award, that money goes to Raluca and her NGO, it is never some huge amount, but she opened her life for seven years for me and that is the smallest thing that I could do. She is completely independent, no government funding for her, just some small private funds. I have even put a fundraiser on the movie site, all the money goes straight to her, but you know, it is not millions going there. No big money in documentaries, but I thought it was important for her to get some money out of it.
Are you planning to do a film again after this? Not even if inspiration suddenly hits you?
No, This is not a film. It was my life. I know it sounds a bit dramatic, but… Even my editor told me "With all the stuff you learned, you can't just drop it!" But I don't know…

Aglucosidase (Myozyme)for the Treatment of Pompe Disease
MYOZYME® (alpha-l-glucosidase alfa) Injectable for intravenous infusion
Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, GSD II, glycogenosis type II, acid maltase deficiency) is an inherited disorder of glycogen metabolism caused by the absence or marked deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme GAA. MYOZYME provides an exogenous source of GAA. Binding to mannose-6-phosphate receptors on the cell surface has been shown to occur via carbohydrate groups on the GAA molecule, after which it is internalized and transported into lysosomes, where it undergoes proteolytic cleavage that results in increased enzymatic activity. It then exerts enzymatic activity in cleaving glycogen.
Initial U.S. Approval: 2006
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
MYOZYME® (alglucosidase alfa) is a lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated for use in patients with Pompe disease (GAA deficiency). MYOZYME has been shown to improve ventilator-free survival in patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease as compared to untreated historical control, whereas the use of MYOZYME in patients with other forms of P ompe disease has not been adequately studied to assure safety and efficacy.
The recommended dosage of MYOZYME is 20 mg/kg body weight administered every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion.
DOSAGE E FORMS AND STRENGTHS
Dosage form: Lyophilized powder for solution for intravenous infusion.
Do sage st ren gt h: 5 mg/mL.
Life-threatening anaphylactic, severe allergic and immune mediated reactions: Ensure that appropriate medical support is readily available. If severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions occur, consider immediate discontinuation of MYOZYME and initiate appropriate medical treatment.
Severe cutaneous and systemic immune-mediated reactions: Monitor patients for the development of systemic immune-mediated reactions involving skin and other organs.
Acute cardiorespiratory failure: Patients with compromised cardiac or respiratory function may be at risk of acute cardiorespiratory failure. Appropriate medical support and monitoring measures should be readily available.
Cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death during general anesthesia: Caution should be used when administering general anesthesia for the placement of a central venous catheter intended for MYOZYME infusion.
ADVERSE REAC TIO NS
The most common serious treatment-emergent adverse reactions (occurring in > 10% of patients) observed in clinical studies with MYOZYME were pneumonia, respiratory failure, respiratory distress, catheter-related infection, respiratory syncytial virus infection, gastroenteritis, and fever.
The most common reactions requiring intervention were infusion reactions.

Cheat Sheet: 5 Admirable Kendall Jenner Traits You Should Totally Cop
Considered by many to be different from the rest of the Kardashian / Jenner clan, Kendall worked her way up the modeling industry through hard work instead of merely relying on her famous last name. That's just one of the many admirable traits of this young woman; we run down a few more that totally make her #pegworthy:
1. How she deals with critics. Having critics and haters is normal for anyone famous (sometimes even regular girls have them), and being the nice girl she is, Kendall handles criticism with class. Instead of recklessly venting out her frustrations on social media, she chooses to be more careful in reacting to comments. Case in point? The backlash against her ballerina-inspired editorial for Vogue magazine, where she gave the most straightforward response: "I didn't even know I was going to be a ballerina until I went into hair and makeup," Kendall said in her blog.
2. Her advocacy of promoting body positivity and natural beauty. In recent years, we would often spot Kendall sporting risqué outfits that occasionally expose her pierced nipples. Some consider it scandalous, but for Kendall, it's no big deal, even those times when she would totally ditch her bra."I think it's cool and I really just don't care! It's sexy, it's comfortable, and I'm cool with my breasts," Kendall explained in her blog, adding that she does not find it a big deal to ditch the bra. Kendall's confidence with her own body also extends to modeling, where the risk of being called "too fat for the runway" does not stop her from enjoying a serving of gelato. Add to the fact that Kendall's beauty, unlike most of her siblings, is all-natural, and free from cosmetic enhancements (check out her secret to maintaining flawless skin).
3. Her respect for the LGBT community. Following her father Caitlyn Jenner's transition into a woman, Kendall remains to be thankful to him, even amidst this major change. "We're all pretty open, accepting, non-judgmental people. Our whole family," Kendall said about Caitlyn on the I am Cait reality TV series.

4. Her desire to keep things low-key. Being the one least involved in scandals and controversies, there's no doubt about it, she is the most normal member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan: Kendall's more of the private type who would shy away from the drama and controversies her family is involved in. Her birthday last year was low-key (save for the A-listers present) and different from how her relatives celebrate. "It's not just about being a workaholic (which I am!), though I've always been my authentic self," Kendall explained in her blog, elaborating on the secret behind her successful modeling career a day before her 21st birthday.
5. Distancing herself from the Kardashian/Jenner clan when needed. Family always equates to love, but when things get a little too crazy, you can always choose to distance yourself from the drama. Kendall even banned her sister from attending her runway shows in order for her to craft her own identity, distinct from her siblings and relatives. That being said, it does not come as a surprise why Vogue magazine calls Kendall "The Breakout Model of Her Generation".

I've seen a few people mentioning e-books being discounted to lower prices from time to time (particularly first books in series). Let's see if we can keep one thread with those sorts of things so people know where to go to find them. I'll kick off with one that I found last night Please Help. Thanks !


Successful orthodontic and surgical treatment require a firm understanding of the stages of tooth development and the various factors that lead to tooth impaction. This book uses such knowledge to demonstrate how the majority of impacted teeth can be erupted and moved to a more optimal position in the dental arch. The authors present practical, step-by-step procedures for establishing a precise anatomic diagnosis, using prevention strategies to restore normal eruptive pathways, making room in the dental arch for the emergence of an impacted tooth, locating the impacted tooth, and developing effective orthodontic appliances. Each of these procedures is amply illustrated in the numerous clinical cases provided. The practical techniques introduced in this book can be applied, in some cases, to prevent the need for painful and costly surgery, to shorten treatment times, and to enhance clinical results.
