Reality means renewal at ABC
4:00 AM PST 1/26/2007 by Kimberly Nordyke , AP
ABC has given early pickups to three reality series.
"America's Funniest Home Videos" has been picked up for an 18th season, while "Supernanny" and "Wife Swap" have been renewed for fourth seasons.
"AFHV," which debuted in January 1990, is the longest- running primetime entertainment show in ABC history. In its 17 seasons, the show has given away more than $9 million in prize money to people submitting home videos and has evaluated more than a half-million videotapes from viewers.
"AFHV," from Vin Di Bona Prods., is executive produced by Vin Di Bona, with Todd Thicke and Michele Nasraway serving as co-executive producers.
"Supernanny," which got its start in the U.K. in summer 2004 and debuted on ABC in early 2005, features Jo Frost dealing with difficult children. It now airs in 47 territories, almost all of them featuring Frost.
"Supernanny" is produced by Ricochet Ltd. Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the American and British versions. Craig Armstrong and Nick Emmerson are executive producers of the U.S. version.
"Wife Swap" debuted in the U.K. in 2003 and made its way to ABC in 2004. The show, featuring two families swapping wives for two weeks, has been sold as an acquisition or a format to more than 100 international territories.
"Wife Swap" is an RDF USA production. It was created by Stephen Lambert and is executive produced by Wendy Roth and Stephen Lambert of RDF Media and Michael Davies of Embassy Row. Cristin Cricco, Stephanie Schwam Adams and Mike Gamson are the co-executive producers.

Let the Dominoes Fall
It's been awhile since the last Rancid record and while the world has changed drastically for a punk rock album Rancid hasn't and the band has stayed tried and true to what they do best... making good punk music inflicted with a touch of ska here and there for good measure. Rancid's "Let the Dominoes Fall" is a better record than "Indesctructible" but really only sufferes in two areas. the first is that this record might be slightly over produced- I want Rancid sounding filthy- I'm a purist I guess. The other problem isn't really a problem just something to point it. "Let the Dominoes Fall" sounds like the absolute standard of everything else that Epitpah has ever released. Not really a bad thing, but you know it comes to mind. As cool as Rancid is, it's kind of like Fueled by Ramen. there are Fueled by Ramen bands and there are Epitaph bands. I like Epitaph bands better but you get what I'm getting at. "Let the Dominoes Fall" has a few surprises and a few dull moments but it has the band's best single in years ("Last One to Die") and some of their strongest material. Something to pick up an check out for sure.

To ask the Scottish Government how many home-educated children have been refused access to sit SQA qualifications through SQA approved centres in the last five years.
Neither the Scottish Government nor the Scottish Qualifications Authority hold this information.
Home educated young people can access Scottish qualifications but must be registered with a Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) approved centre (usually a school or college), for all assessments and assignments to be appropriately carried out and monitored through the SQA approved centre.
There is no legal requirement for home educated children to sit a particular set of examinations.

Harvey Weinstein Gets Appeal On NY Conviction, Could Bail If Retrial – Deadline
More than two years after his New York conviction for sex crimes that included third-degree rape, ex-Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has won the right to appeal, NBC News has reported.
Janet DiFiore, the chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals, cleared a path for oral arguments next year before the entire court on whether Weinstein received a fair trial.
Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in state prison upon his conviction in February 2020. He was found guilty of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree and third-degree rape. A lower court turned down his request for an appeal before today's ruling granting the request.
Weinstein's attorney, Arthur Aidala, said that his client was grateful for the decision.
"We are hopeful the entire court will find that Mr. Weinstein did not receive a fair trial and reverse his conviction," Aidala said.
Weinstein issued a statement through a spokesman proclaiming that he is innocent.
"I am so grateful to my attorneys for working hard and smart on this," he said. "Their hard work will help me prove my innocence in the end."
The Weinstein argument is that the several witnesses were allowed to testify even though there were no charges about Weinstein's activities with them. If his sentence is overturned, it's possible he could be released on bail.
Weinstein remains incarcerated at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles on other sex crime charges

The 21st-Century Classroom
The Long View on Education Reform
Hillary Harvey
Katie Zahedi, principal of Linden Avenue Middle School in Red Hook
Multiple groups of four or five people sat at Conversation Tables or lounged in Adirondack chairs on the lawn of the Taconic Retreat and Conference Center in Red Hook. Hosted by the Avalon Initiative, an independent education think tank with offices in Chatham, the Enough Already! conference in April was attended by the same broad coalition of public, private, homeschool, university, and research individuals who have banded together against Common Core and are opting out of state testing. Gary Lamb had used registration info to assemble the small, diverse groups so each represented all walks of education. They were discussing the soul of education. "We're creating a unique venue to have conversations that focus on child development and needs," says Lamb, Avalon's Projects Coordinator. "We want to help build a new imagination for education around that."
What's been driving national education reform since the beginning of the millennium is a push toward standardizing achievement. Since 2001, the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) has been publishing the results of worldwide tests administered to 15-year-olds around the globe, gauging their proficiency near the end of compulsory schooling. With 43 countries participating in 2000, input has grown to 75 countries in 2012, and governments eager to jump in the ranks use PISA to promote education policy reforms. No Child Left Behind (2002) used high-stakes testing to assess school district performance. Race to the Top (2009) policies continued that trend by tying teacher assessment to testing and grant funding to the adoption of Common Core standards. With one eye on global PISA scores, politicians turn to corporations and tech companies for solutions and open a new market for corporate-based strategies.
The US generally ranks somewhere in the middle of the PISA list. And Katie Zahedi, a presenter at Enough Already!, thinks the middle is just fine. Zahedi is principal at Linden Avenue Middle School in Red Hook, and says, "We [at the conference] have a shared vision for how schools should be: that all children feel cared for, watched, and valued, rather than set up for high-stakes competition where there'll always be winners and losers. We don't think there should be any children who are losers. They shouldn't even be worried about winning and losing."
Fine-Grain Dictates
When we spoke by phone, Zahedi was riled. She had just received a memo from the New York State Education Department about training she would receive, which would allow her to administer field tests to her students. The purpose was to let test designers analyze the validity of their test questions. Zahedi had contacted another principal and the superintendent to discuss her concerns. She has grave reservations about handing corporations student data. "They're given free access to our schools and our children to design the products that they sell to us," Zahedi scoffed. "It's obscene."
Zahedi says administrators are buried in policy dictates from the state that seem to only benefit corporate interests: memos stipulating the use of approved vendors; rubrics created by the state to rate her teachers that require her to check prescribed boxes. In the past, she would visit the classroom, observe the teacher, and write it up based on her professional discretion. Just like the state tests administered to students and used to evaluate teacher effectiveness, the purpose is to take a snapshot of a teacher's performance. But what that type of evaluation doesn't take into account is the relationship that develops within the school community. Zahedi takes stock of her teachers' strengths and weaknesses every day of the year. "My job is to motivate, inspire, lead, and evaluate. I'm not a compliance officer," she sighs.
Zahedi suggests that education reform encompass general goals, and that schools be responsible for designing how they're met. In the face of technology industrialists who hope to update the 21st-century classroom, that solution can feel like a return to simpler times. But there is a movement of people who are trying to make it possible. "Fine-grained dictates coming from politicians and business leaders is entirely inappropriate, and it represents a huge overstep of their qualifications into a domain which already has experts." Zahedi says the people who should be designing policy are teachers, school leaders, and education scholars. "We're not producing widgets on an assembly line, and so our work is much more complex than a business-minded perspective or even a political perspective. We work over the long view with children." For the average public school, education is a deeper process.

I've not been able to cross-test this against any other flavor ATM, but if you boot Ubuntu GNOME 20140225 i386 and enter the advanced boot menu, and then select Try Ubuntu you get what appears to be a wrong resolution, but the resoltion is correct.
It appears that some notification is trying to appear as indicated by the "half gear" in the lower left corner of the screen, please see attached screenshot (I hope).
BTW I edited nothing in the boot parameters. I just hit enter, selected the default English language, and then selected Try.
If you reboot and wait until the standard try vs install screen appears everything works fine.
I can confirm that the gnome-shell live session is completely broken, pretty much all widget calculations seem off, when the "half" gear is showing. I have no idea where that is coming from, its surely not GNOME.
strangely it also appears on the "Try Ubuntu" screen, however doesn't seem to break anything there, although there do appear to be some top panel icons missing. No idea if that is related though.
^ "pretty much all widget size/position calculations"
Tim did you look at the attached /modified.conffile..etc.casper.conf.txt?
It seemed odd that when I filed this bug report apport said I'd modified "casper" but I'd made no mods, just selected the default English language and then selected "Try" from the menu.
Going a bit off-topic, but the cross-testing problems I'd mentioned via PM are due to a faulty DVD drive so I'm headed out to the brick and mortar store to get a replacement ASAP.
But that faulty drive was not in play during this test.
Are we sure this is not GNOME but something else?
You're right, it doesn't seem it is breaking anything but the live session looks so odd but usable a bit. However, I'm not sure if this is related?
Looks like this is fallout from the HiDPI changes in gnome-shell 3.10.4.
Hopefully the following patch will fix it.

The 50 Musicians You Need To Know From Each State In The U.S. (Part 1)
Joey Purp, Luke Bell, Mndsgn, Gallant, & Day Wave |© Facebook/Alima Jennings
Ryan Kristobak
Updated: 20 October 2017
There are plenty of themed music lists out there: best tracks from a single artist, best new artists of a certain genre, the best albums of a certain year, etc. Here at The Culture Trip, we are all about unearthing the best of the best by location.
Beginning with a two-part installation focused on the United States, we have selected 50 male artists and groups (technically 52 — New York and California yield so many artists that we couldn't just pick one) that originated and/or currently reside in each of the 50 states. Determined to present the next class of musicians on the rise, every selected artist has under 100,000 likes on Facebook, save one or two exceptions, and genres include hip hop, country, indie, soul, electronic, rock, jazz, dance-punk, R&B, and more.
Check out the second installation featuring our top 50 female musicians state-by-state across the United States here.
Alabama St. Paul and The Broken Bones
This six-piece outfit brings all of the Southern soul you could hope for, and their freshly-released sophomore LP, Sea of Noise, brings a little more head and little more heart to the party.
AlaskaEvan Phillips
He's been referred to as "Alaska's one-man music scene," and whoever puts The Last Frontier on the musical map in the wake of band Portugal. The Man, you can bet Phillips will be involved.
Arizona Draa
With their monochromatic collared shirts, debut music video shot in a 1920s ice warehouse, and slick brand of shoegaze-influenced indie pop, Draa is keeping things pretty damn cool in the desert.
Arkansas Move Orchestra
Move Orchestra naturally draws comparisons to Radiohead's Kid A days, but these three brothers have a vision of their own, guaranteed to be as stunning musically as it is cinematically.
California Day Wave
Jackson Phillips, aka Day Wave, quickly became one of the blog circuit's current obsessions, and, really, his dreamy indie rock is kind of perfect. You might disagree, but you probably don't have a Mark Hoppus-narrated music video that features a coyote, Burt Reynolds, a spaceship, and a drunk grizzly bear.
While his 2015 album, Seven Sundays, easily proves SiR's R&B talent, collaborations with names like Anderson .Paak, Isaiah Rashad, and Knxwledge solidify him as the next most important piece in the L.A. hip-hop landscape.
Performing together in bands since 2004, the Denver trio have a new sound and a new deal with Island Records that should bring them the attention only hard work earns.
Connecticut Mercies
Former members of The Dear Hunter, Josh Rheault and Sammy Dent deliver what can only be called, as they self-prescribed, 'forest-pop'. It's rustic and catchy, and while the whole LP keeps you swaying in its grooves, it isn't afraid to wander into moments of contemplative isolation.
Delaware Sap
Sap might not be a name you've heard of yet, but you've probably heard his production, providing tracks for artists like Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, and Schoolboy Q, among others. Now, Sap is adding his own rhymes, and March's Self Employed proves his lyrics are as impressive as his beats.
Florida Polyenso
This Florida trio's mixture of pop, indie, hip hop and electronica is unlike anything else out there, and proves that there is plenty of room for creativity in radio-friendly music.
Georgia Big Jesus
Following in the footsteps of recent acts like Nothing, Big Jesus combine big, crunchy riffs with pop-driven hooks to create tracks that'll have your body shifting between light shuffles and moshing.
Hawaii Jake Shimabukuro
The first instrument that comes to mind when thinking about Hawaiian music is the ukulele – and Jake Shimabukuro is the ukulele god.
Idaho Clarke and the Himselfs
Maybe Clarke and the Himselfs' art-damaged rock 'n' roll isn't your cup of tea; maybe it is, but you can't deny his one-man approach is anything less than amazing.
Illinois Joey Purp
In a year where Chicago has proven it is the rising epicenter of hip hop, Joey Purp's iiiDrops was the release we weren't prepared for, striking a perfect balance between human stories and fun living.
Indiana HOOPS
Summer must come to an end at some point, but HOOPS' self-titled EP, with its breezy riffs and hazy vocals, would argue that the season of radiance is a state of mind.
Iowa Max Jury
If you're looking for some fresh piano-driven pop with a pocket full of soul, Des Moines' Max Jury and his self-titled debut is a wonderful place to start.
Kansas Stik Figa
Ten years into the game, Stik Figa still has yet to get the break he deserves, but his straightforward, politically-charged method isn't exactly an easy sell in a trap-driven economy. Then again, as Stik Figa points out on "The Incorrigible," he doesn't really care because "rap sucks."
Kentucky Jack Harlow
Not many people can perfectly spit wildfire rhymes while gracefully resting on top of an ice cream truck and being lathered up with sunscreen by a beautiful woman, but that's just the kind of guy Jack Harlow is. That new rapper you just read about on some blog, Harlow's better.
Louisiana Christian Scott
In the era of To Pimp A Butterfly, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, and his personal brand of jazz fusion which he calls "stretch," is a name you need to know.
MaineJaw Gems
An electronic quartet drawn together through love of J Dilla, Jaw Gems channel their idol as well as Flying Lotus through their electro-jazz LP Heatweaver.
Maryland Gallant
In a year where everyone was waiting for Frank Ocean's new album, Gallant has proven he is the future of R&B.
Massachusetts The Hotelier
In 2014, The Hotelier emerged as emo heroes with Home, Like Noplace Is There. With 2016's Goodness, the trio is finding lighter spaces as a rock band with less labels, and they are just as fantastic as ever.
Michigan JMSN/Pearl
Whether he's out front as JMSN or veiled behind the boards with Pearl, Christian Berishaj is one of the grooviest cats in the game, and he doesn't play by anyone's rules but his.
Minnesota Author
For over a decade and four studio albums, we, as a human race, have failed to give Mutemath the love and praise they deserve. Let's not make the same mistake when Author's time comes.
Mississippi Cedric Burnside Project
The son of the innovator of the Hills country blues style of drumming and grandson of the legendary R.L. Burnside, Cedric Burnside has played with artists ranging from Jimmy Buffett to Widespread Panic, collecting the Memphis Blues Music Award's Best Drummer gong four times.
Missouri Smino
There are lots of names attached to the current hybrid of R&B and pop; St. Louis' Smino is just better than most of them.
Montana Ovando
Nate Hegyi recently brought out the first in a trilogy of EPs – and its lo-fi quality is no mistake. Here, you're listening to music made for campfire circles with close friends. However, Hegyi's acoustic pickings and his plain voice sound even better when paired with the crisp crunch of fresh snow under heavy boots.
Nebraska Twinsmith
Signed to Omaha's Saddle Creek, Twinsmith produces the catchy, off-kilter indie that one can expect from their hometown label.
Nevada Big Talk
Ronnie Vannucci Jr. is best known as the drummer of The Killers, but he's also the frontman/everyman for the rock project Big Talk, and they can walk the walk.
New Hampshire Doug Tuttle
If you're one of those people that believes you should have been born in the '60s, Doug Tuttle's psych-pop was made for you.
New Jersey Mndsgn
With a name like Ringgo Ancheta, there's no doubt you are destined for great things. Signed to the legendary Stones Throw, Mndsgn's upcoming album, Body Wash, is guaranteed to be filled with glorious '80s funk and soul that will make you want to boogie in the strangest way.
New Mexico Lowercase Noises
Andy Othling is interested in playing the guitar "as slow as possible", and his execution is nothing short of breathtaking.
New York BOOTS
It's not quite apparent what "futurist brutalism" music encompasses, but BOOTS teamed up with NASA (as if co-signs from Beyoncé, Run The Jewels, Frank Ocean, and FKA Twigs weren't enough) to write a song about space exploration – music that can only be described as stellar.
The Frightnrs
The Queens, NY quartet's rocksteady debut is one marked by triumph and tragedy. Sounding like a lost lo-fi treasure from the '60s, the album's release followed the death of the group's lead singer, Dan Klein, who was diagnosed with ALS last fall. It's unclear what's up next for The Frightnrs, but there's no doubt that Nothing More To Say will forever remain a bittersweet masterpiece.
North Carolina King Mez
North Carolina's hip-hop scene is on the rise, and leading the way with acts like Well$ is Raleigh's King Mez. Oh, and Mez also has the most writing credits on Dr. Dre's most recent album, Compton, besides Dre himself.
North Dakota Yishay
Yishay's music will remind listeners of 30 Seconds to Mars with its unorthodox, bombastic rock-electronic mixtures and its massive, echoing vocals, but replace Jared Leto with Domhnall Gleeson.
Ohio Caamp
While their viral hit "Ohio" might give the impression that this duo is doing their best Mumford & Sons impression, be warned that not all banjo-and-acoustic-guitar folk acts are the same.
Oklahoma J.D. McPherson
Thanks to J.D. McPherson, '50s rock 'n' roll and rockabilly is alive again in the 21st century; Let The Good Times Roll is as fun as it sounds.
Oregon Mimicking Birds
Nate Lacy's project garnered significant praise for the cyclical melodies and thorny acoustic pickings of its eponymous debut. For whatever reason, critics seemed to miss 2014's Eons, the sophomore effort that elevated Lacy and company to a state far more sacred.
Pennsylvania Balance and Composure
Quickly approaching the release of their third LP, the evolution of Balance and Composure from an underground rock blog discovery to Pitchfork news regular always felt certain, and any group that can write consistently acute rock tunes while admitting they aren't connecting to their own words every night on stage deserves our attention.
Rhode Island The Tower and the Fool
It's been over four years since The Tower and The Fool released their debut LP, How Long, but the group is reportedly writing and recording their follow-up, and their unique blend of indie, folk, and country will provide a much needed update to their late-night drive/breakup catalogue.
South Carolina All Get Out
Nathan Hussey's indie punk debut LP, The Season, bore its southern heart on its sleeve. While 2015's Movement EP lacked the same spring in its step, new single "Home" has recaptured the charm that made Hussey's music so infectious.
South Dakota Half&Half
We may never be talking about South Dakota as a hip-hop state, but Rapid City's Half&Half's new album Hot Sauce will have you talking about hip hop in South Dakota.
Tennessee Birdtalker
Birdtalker produce the high-level Americana music one can expect from Nashville with an indie-pop edge that is sure to propel them to nationwide radio play in no time.
Texas Khalid
After only releasing a few tracks, 18-year-old Khalid is racking up millions of streams with his soulful voice layered over top of minimal, bass-heavy electro-R&B production.
Utah Sego
Call Sego dance-punk, slacker punk, or whatever you want: Spencer Peterson and Thomas Carroll are two weird dudes making rad music that will make you want to dance like a freak.
Vermont Rough Francis
The literal sons (and nephews) of the fathers of punk music, Death, Rough Francis has clearly inherited their family's rebellious right hook.
Virginia Car Seat Headrest
Will Toledo was knighted the savior of indie rock with his new album, Teens of Denial, and with lyrics like "Last Friday, I took acid and mushrooms/I did not transcend, I felt like a walking piece of shit/in a stupid-looking jacket," it's hard to disagree.
Washington Raz Simone
While Macklemore might be the only name people recognize in the Seattle hip-hop scene, Raz Simone is undeniably the chosen hometown hero. His content and approach never predictable, he releases bodies of work at an outrageously fast pace to critical acclaim.
West Virginia Rozwell Kid
While the greatest musician to ever reside in West Virginia is undeniably this WVU band member who opted for eating a hot dog instead of playing his trumpet in celebration of a touchdown, indie rock band Rozwell Kid puts out some pretty darn solid jams.
Wisconsin IshDARR
Milwaukee is having a hip-hop moment, and you can bet IshDARR will be Brew City's first big breakout.
Wyoming Luke Bell
Listening to Luke Bell's deep tones and traditional country approach will immediately make you wish you were at the local honky-tonk.

Rosenbladt
Love me some Rod Rosenbladt...
All of our repentance is half-assed.
- Rod Rosenbladt -
source: https://www.facebook.com/csedds/posts/...
This is a more expanded version and one I can't verify to be Rosenbladt, other than this quote I found on a blog post from 2012, but it sounds like Rosenbladt to me...
Instead of some sort of penance, we're called to confess our sin as best we can (though it will always be lousy) and appeal to God's mercy on the basis of what Christ did for us, not on the basis of "I really mean it", or "I really promise to", or "I vow this or vow that". That's all out the window. You're utterly without excuse and without the energy to promise anything. You appeal to nothing but God's mercy in Jesus. That's it. That's the only thing you can plead. It's like the old seminary professor once said, "adverbs are the great enemy of the gospel". We hear things like "I deeply repent" or "I am heartily sorry". Bah! We repent in a half-assed way at best. We're only sort of sorry. Even our confession sucks. And yet the gracious God in Jesus Christ says to us, "Be of good cheer son, your sins are forgiven."

Magazine Exclusive: A Night At The London Edition
19 February, 2016 by Stephanie Pak
This article was written by Monicha Tully and originally featured in Issue 01 of Arcadia magazine. Buy the magazine here.
Diane von Furstenberg once said, 'when you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is a fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance'. That was exactly how I felt as the door to the suite clicked discreetly behind me.
The suite resembled the love child of a luxurious yacht and a cozy ski chalet. The floors were a caramel oak and the walls were paneled with rich walnut. The vast bed was dressed in luxurious white linens; a chocolate brown fur throw cascaded off it.
Amongst the wood and the white, there were small touches of quiet luxury. A cream tufted George Smith lounge chair sat proudly in the corner and a Hendrik Kerstens photograph, set in a gold-leaf baroque frame, hung from the wall.
The room was bathed in natural light that streamed in from the floor-to-ceiling window. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. The sun was slowly setting over the city, leaving a dusky pink streaked sky in its wake.
The London EDITION is situated in the heart of Fitzrovia. The view from the suite was spectacular; the city was laid out before me. Over the sea of rooftops, the glowing orbs from the London Eye winked in the fading evening light.
I had an 8pm reservation at Berner's Tavern which was located on the ground floor. So that left just enough time to escape to the lobby bar for a cocktail or three.
The London EDITION attracts the young, the bold and the beautiful. High-profile guests have included, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles. Last year, the hotel even welcomed a hoard of Victoria's Secret models. They took over the hotel, having tea, taking photographs and playing snooker prior to the iconic Victoria's Secret show at Earl's Court.
A group of blonde Russian girls, dressed unanimously in white, were propped up on the bar, whilst two young businessmen spoke in hushed tones, hunched over their tumblers filled with amber liquid.
The soundtrack was a playful and eclectic affair that featured Mark Ronson and Boy George's 'Somebody to Love Me', Mark Morrison's 'Return of the Mack' and Gillian Hills' iconic 'Zou Bisou Bisou'.
The lobby bar toes the line between work and play beautifully. There is complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and Apple desktop computers on one side with luxurious emerald seating areas and the most extraordinary cashmere snooker table on the other.
I sunk into one of the emerald sofas and perused the cocktail menu, which was devised by drinks extraordinaire Davide Segat. Surveying all the action was a vast stainless-steel orb by the celebrated industrial designer Ingo Maurer. The orb was suspended from a soaring stuccoed ceiling, that remained as a feature of extraordinary beauty from the hotel's rich heritage.
The building was originally home to five townhouses before it became the Berners Hotel in 1909. It was purchased in 2010 and an extravagant £33m overhaul ensued.
Today, it is a romantic amalgamation of the old and the new. It has been lovingly restored, ensuring that the finest aspects of the iconic landmark building still stand proudly today.
It is impossible to ignore the fact that all the waitresses at the London EDITION look like supermodels. Every one I encountered was brunette, exotic and tall with a willowy figure that was encased in a black leather mini dress. They were incredibly friendly, personal and attentive; if my eyes flittered to the menu briefly, one would immediately appear by my side.
At the waitress's recommendation, I opted for an intoxicating 'Clearer Colada', an exotic blend of three-year-old coconut Havana Club and pineapple cordial, served with a smooth ball of ice that resembled a diamond.
On the table there were a stack of coffee table books and my eyes were immediately drawn to a heavy gold volume titled 'Hollywood: In the 30's'. I lost myself in Hollywood's glittering history for over an hour.
Since it opened its doors in 2013, Berner's Tavern has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after restaurants in the city. It isn't hard to see why; it is the hotels crown jewel. I had only put one foot over the threshold and immediately fell head over heels for its unapologetic opulence and undeniable beauty.
Berner's Tavern resembles a vast ballroom with triple-height ceilings, decorated with over a century old intricate and extravagant stucco plasterwork. The walls are adorned with over 100 eclectic works of art, all presented in beautiful ornate gold frames.
Under the direction of Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton, the food at Berners Tavern is a gastronomic gem. It is a contemporary take on British cuisine that produces generous portions and elegant, yet unpretentious dishes.
I started with a delicious chargrilled chicken paillard, with a warm and extravagant salad. The flavours were like a slap round the face, followed with a kiss on the cheek. It was a hypnotic concoction of garlic and chorizo butter, piquillo pepper, manchego cheese, rocket and red onion.
For my main course, I opted for a phenomenal 8oz filet steak that was cooked on a Josper grill and cut like butter. It was served with golden triple-cooked chips, salad and a rich and creamy béarnaise sauce.
Berners Tavern prides itself on using only the best produce from the British Isles and you can really taste the difference. The restaurant only serves grass fed British steaks selected from Cumbria's most conscientious farmers.
Finally, for dessert I devoured a gluttonous strawberry éclair filled with smooth mascarpone cream and served with fresh strawberries and a decadent chocolate sorbet.
There were an array of seasonal cocktails on offer and I was immediately drawn to 'A Room With A View, a clean and refreshing blend of Belvedere vodka, quince, citrus syrup, apple juice, lemon and prosecco. I sipped my cocktail, utterly mesmerized by the extraordinary ceiling, wondering what kinds of things it had witnessed over the years.
After the most outrageously delicious dinner, I retreated to The Punch Room for a night of music and raucous entertainment.
The Punch Room is the London EDITION's dirty little secret. The reservations only bar is nestled at the back of the hotel and is a dark den of hedonism. It is a fumed-oak paneled space, inspired by the comfort of a manor house library teamed with the discreet feel of a nineteenth-century afterhours club.
I sunk into an inviting sofa and watched singer/songwriter and rising star Zak Abel perform a heart-wrenchingly raw, beautiful and intimate set. The performance was part of Raw Punch, a series of Sunday sessions that team intoxicating punches with stripped down sets from some of the world's most exciting emerging musicians.
The rest of the night was a blur. I instantly became best friends with a group of raucous businessmen from Hong Kong and Australia for the night. We shared anecdotes and laughed over a sea of empty punch glasses.
At a distressingly early hour of the morning, I dragged myself up to my suite feeling as though I had fallen completely in love with the place. A night I will never forget.

Poccadot is a mobile software development studio of iOS and Android developers, with over 150 apps currently available on the Appstore and on Google Play.
TestFairy provides companies with a mobile testing platform allowing teams to find, report and solve complex problems with their mobile apps, all from one simple dashboard. TestFairy provides an easy to use app-distribution service for iOS and Android apps, as well as an SDK that collects valuable information such as videos of user behavior, app logs and crash reports. This information is collected and neatly organized in a single, easy-to-use dashboard.TestFairy facilitates frictionless communication between developers, beta testers and business partners with the "shake to report bug" capability, which provides accurate, information-rich bug reports. With TestFairy's videos, logs and device metrics, teams are able to quickly reproduce and understand problems, providing accurate and timely bug fixes and a faster time-to-market.
Clients turn to Poccadot in various stages of the development process, from an idea or a general concept, to full designs and prepared screens. Poccadot's developers take it from there to a complete, prepared product: an app on the appstore.
Poccadot's team work on a couple dozen of apps at any given time, whether developing new apps or carrying out maintenance work on existing apps. This heavy workload brought along the need for one tool to help the team efficiently manage everything and communicate with their clients, send out new versions and get feedback from their testers. That's when TestFairy came along.
Poccadot uses TestFairy throughout their various development processes.
Distribution - Poccadot uses TestFairy's distribution tools to send out app versions to their testers and automatically update the versions testers use as they roll them out.
Feedback - By automatically gathering important data such as video recordings of their clients' app usage and screenshots of the apps' appearance on various devices, Poccadot saved precious time on figuring out what caused issues, and resolving them faster than ever before.
Better Communication - TestFairy enables the Poccadot team to easily communicate with their clients. Occasionally, clients will reach out with issues they're experiencing on some app version, and they don't always know or are able to explain their exact usage scenario when a crash happened. By opening up the TestFairy dashboard, the team is able to easily locate the specific session and isolate the issue that caused the crash, resolving it before lunchtime!
TestFairy became Poccadot's powerful tool for handling a large amount of apps in various stages of production. Using TestFairy, the team was able to efficiently handle their massive workload and easily communicate with their clients. By integrating TestFairy into their JIRA, the team made sure the relevant data is synced into the issues they're handling, so the time it took to resolve them was dramatically reduced.

The Ortolan and the Omnivore: A Tale of Gluttony
December 27, 2014 December 27, 2014 Senior Citizen Kane	Leave a comment
France's League for the Protection of Birds has, in recent years, been more or less successful in making French authorities toe the line on an EU ban against trapping the endangered ortolan (emberiza hortulana), a tiny bobolink-like songbird coveted by gastronomes of the French persuasion as an exquisite delicacy, all the more enticing because its taking is forbidden.
Now, we are advised by the Daily Telegraph, a cabal of grands chefs, including Alain DuCasse, is pressuring the Élysée Palace to relax the ban for one day each month.
Traditionally, ortolans are eaten with one's head covered by a napkin because: [1.] (sensual) the exotic aroma is thereby captured, concentrated and savored, and/or, [2.] (spiritual) God cannot see you engaging in such egregious gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Ortolans have often figured in the culinary history of La Belle France (cf: Mitterrand, François: Last meal of) and at least once in America as an object of the appetite of the late New York Times food critic, Craig Claiborne.
In 1975, Claiborne bid $300 at a charity auction and, having won, got his pick of a restaurant meal for two anywhere in the world, with no limit on the cost. He chose to eat — along with his friend, the chef Pierre Franey — at the Parisian establishment, Chez Denis. Their 31-course dinner took five hours to consume and included copious quantities of legendary-label wines. Claiborne wrote about the meal in The New York Times of November 14, 1975 under the title, "Just a Quiet Dinner for Two in Paris: 31 Dishes, Nine Wines, a $4000 check"; a paean to conspicuous consumption seldom equaled in the annals of gastronomy.
Ortolan – need I note — was a featured course.
The article ran on the Times' front page and created an instant international sensation, the gist of which was best summed up by Pope Paul VI, who pronounced it "scandalous." But the best (for me) was yet to come when, four days later, Times columnist Russell Baker wrote a scathing send-up of Claiborne called "Francs and Beans". It remains to this day near the top my all time, all time list of favorite parodies.
So funny was it, that the morning I read it, I was on a breakfast flight from LaGuardia to Toronto, absorbed in the Times, as was my wont. Two sentences into Baker's column I was laughing so hard I was choking on my croissant with tears in my eyes, much to the puzzlement of the other suits on board who were unused to seeing anyone so overcome with delight at anything in the "old gray lady"…especially at 7am..
Annals of Communications
December 6, 2014 December 16, 2014 Senior Citizen Kane	2 Comments
When Johannes Gutenberg peeled the first broadsheet off the first printing press and began to read it, he reportedly cried out, "Whoa…! This article is far too wordy; the syntax is awkward, the grammar is atrocious and the whole thing makes no sense." Thus was born the first editor.
The craft of editing had failed to flourish in earlier times because cuneiform was notoriously difficult to correct once chiseled in stone, and papyrus easily damaged by erasure and strike-overs (cf: Scrolls, Dead Sea).
Five centuries after Gutenberg, publishing had morphed into a massive global industry known as Mass Communications, and it was at that point that Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., a rising young American politico, invented the Information Superhighway, a.k.a., the Internet.
Encouraged by this breakthrough development, countless millions of people decided to become writer-editors, launching more uncurated verbiage onto the World Wide Web than had been written since the start of recorded history, ca. 3200 BC. Missing in much of this was the guiding hand of The Editor, a woefully diminished breed, few of whom had survived the recent near-death experience of the legacy media.
What this fractured history lesson is meant to convey is that in a world wherein everybody—left to his own devices—is destined to become a spontaneous news and information provider, and/or will be seeking employment in a business environment where exceptional communications skill will be ever-more in demand, we're going to have to learn to do it better. At premium will be the sort of skills aspiring journalists learn in journalism school.
Enter Jan Schaffer, executive director of the J-lab at American University, graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern U., and Pulitzer-winning veteran of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Writing in MediaShift, she posits that "It's time to think about trumpeting a Journalism degree as the ultimate Gateway Degree, one that can get you a job almost anywhere…".
Journalism schools would have to articulate a new value program, fleshing out their traditional journalism curricula by adding more liberal arts courses overlaid by instruction in digital competence and social media skills.
Importantly, the practice of journalism per se isn't going away, it's merely going through a massive platform shift, albeit a stunningly painful one.The market for news and information is, if anything, on the increase; it simply has to be better audited.
In my opinion, Schaffer's idea offers a promising scenario. It could re-invigorate our schools of journalism (now suffering from under-enrollment); re-focus the study of journalism as a profession; provide a gateway degree to the college-bound seeking a rewarding career: provide employers with articulate workers trained to be persuasive, persistent, and media-savvy; and give the rest of us a decidedly more informative, reliable, and enjoyable media experience. Best of all, it would put all those beached editors back to work.

Tempest in a Treetop
December 1, 2014 December 4, 2014 Senior Citizen Kane	Leave a comment
SANDWICH – The town was abuzz this week with word from usually reliable Washington sources that the White House was about to issue an executive order barring the construction of a zip line at Heritage Museums and Gardens.
Described as an "aerial adventure park", the project has been the subject of considerable local controversy since it was first announced, but the matter had seemed to have been put to bed by the recent go-ahead ruling by the zoning board of appeals..
Simeon Snively, president of Tarzan Lives!, the video game company contracted to design and construct the project, said, "This is typical of big-government fun-police interfering in the free exercise of constitutional property rights by those who got there first. Of course this attraction will create traffic jams in the summer, that's why it's called an attraction! We believe that such minor inconveniences are more than offset by the creation of the one full-time and 11 part-time jobs being generated by the project. Furthermore, we have tenders from fifteen fast-food franchises anxious to occupy the food court we'll be bringing to Heritage once the adventure park is in place."
Queried about this unprecedented outreach into a local issue by the federal government, the White House declined to comment.


Every fall, first-year students in the College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln identify their strengths and integrate into the CBA community by taking the required Professional Enhancement I (BSAD 111) course. They use the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to identify their strengths, participate in group activities and learn from guest speakers who explain how their strengths help them in their respective fields.
Throughout the semester, students meet individually and in groups with strengths coaches. These coaches are UNL students who have been trained to help others develop their strengths to their maximum potential. With better knowledge of their Clifton strengths, students learn to leverage themselves in academics and career awareness, as well as engagement and well-being in college.
The coaches are selected in the spring through an application and interview process. Once selected, they participate in six-hour Strengths Coach Training followed by weekly training during the eight-week BSAD 111 course. They are trained to initiate and maintain strong relationships with their students and to develop knowledge on the 34 themes of the Gallup StrengthsFinder.
"I can't think of a better way to help our students be successful and reach their potential than by starting their college career with a program that helps them identify their natural talents and strengths and then provides them with individualized coaching to apply those strengths towards their goals," said Mark Pogue, assistant professor of practice in management and executive director of the Clifton Strengths Institute.
Strengths Coaches facilitate their strengths teams of 10 students to help them collaborate cohesively based on their respective strengths. The teams complete a five-week project focused on creating a meaningful college experience to improve their future career engagement and overall well-being.
Each student will also attend two individual coaching sessions with a Strengths Coach, who will personally assist the student in making the transition to university life and help him or her to prepare for the future.

Product teams that adhere to agile principles need to be a lot of things — customer-centric, collaborative, and able to respond quickly to change, among other attributes originally put forth by the 17 founders of the Agile product methodology.
But those founders created their Manifesto for Agile Software Development almost 20 years ago now and things have changed a bit. Over time, several more principles have sprung up and attached themselves to the agile camp.
Traditionally — that has been interpreted to mean co-location is best. We're here to shatter that notion and show product managers that distributed teams can be just as effective as those which greet each other every morning in person.
It's all about your ability to challenge any preconceived notions that you have — or anyone else connected to the product has — about productivity, culture, and success. Here's what we mean.
For product managers who are still holding onto the idea that having everyone in the same room is necessary to spark creativity and innovation, there are two choices. They can cling onto the status quo that makes co-location a requirement or they can begin adopting a remote-first philosophy that's increasingly more relevant for the 21st century.
On the tech side of things, the world has changed dramatically since 2001 when Agile was first laid out. We won't cover that here but all you need to do is look around you to see evidence of tech-assisted team collaboration in action with video conferencing, cloud-based project management platforms, and more.
This is hard to ignore, even for managers who wake up every morning and suit up for work with blinders on.
This is really about the kind of mindset product managers will need to adopt if they're going to tap into the talent they need going forward.
Let's backtrack a little. Managers and leaders who resist change will argue that co-located teams perform better than distributed teams. Yes, you can make that argument. You could also argue that sound quality is better on old landline telephones but where would that put you? Missing out on a lot of exciting tech-enabled developments, that's where!
For distributed teams to have a chance, you'll need more than a modern mindset, however. You're thinking 'oh, they're going to talk about tools again'. Nope, it's not about tools, although the rise of helpful collaboration platforms like Zoom and Slack have facilitated the shift away from co-location in very big ways.
This is about processes. Structure. Setup.
In fact, if all you do is set up your team, business as usual, and then throw in a few tools to accommodate your remote members, you're bound to fail. Team culture just won't gel into anything that's productive when the remote players are relegated to second-class citizen status.
For distributed teams to be effective, you'll need to go back and rethink your processes. Change the way you have meetings. Rethink your channels of communication. Examine your own assumptions. Analyze the language people are using on written communication channels like Slack.
In any office setting, communication is key. Even when interaction is face-to-face, people often misinterpret what others are saying. But at least when you're in the same room with someone, you have the benefit of using non-verbal communication to guide you to the true meaning. But remote teams have very few emotional cues to work from, which means you'll have to develop a set of principles to instruct your team on Best Practices for comms.
That might mean trying to predict what kinds of behavior causes tension on a distributed team and then developing a set of guidelines to help your team avoid that behavior.
As a product manager, you may already have a dataset of experiences in your mind to help you with this. Think back on past projects where things went south: were there communication problems? What caused them? Fixing those kinds of 'soft skills' mistakes can help you set up a distributed product development team that really works.
Remote work has existed in a Wild West atmosphere, where workers come to the table with a wide variety of team player skills. Let's assume technical ability but there are other abilities and skills that are now considered essential for distributed team players to have.
Writing Skills. This is becoming the new differentiator for talent in the tech field.
Communications Platform Knowledge. Confidence in communication and collaboration tools is a basic requirement these days.
Soft Skills. Discipline, as you can imagine, is something you want to look for in a remote player.
Empathy. Empathy is the foundation of Design Thinking, effective teamwork, and more. The ability to debate issues in a productive manner requires an understanding of other people's perspectives.
Ownership. Taking ownership of bad decisions means they can be fixed faster. When a team is distributed, ownership can become lost in the shuffle of asynchronous communication, vague language, and even sometimes language barriers.
These soft skills may not have reached your hiring radar quite yet, but they're worth considering if you plan on tapping into the vast array of talent that exists globally.
Hopefully, we've got you thinking about your approach to managing distributed product development teams. Even if you don't consider yourself the most progressive type of product manager, you can start small with a toehold and build your capacities gradually. Meanwhile, you'll be doing your teams a favor by helping them develop a modern mindset and coaxing them gently along into the future!

Juicing is recommended by most health experts, but why? In this article, I cover all the fascinating facts about juicing, and why juicing vegetables could be the new good habit that will turn your health around or take it to the next level, and remineralize your body. Are you already a juicer? If so – awesome! I'm not a juicing fanatic at all, but I certainly do appreciate the immediate luscious health + beauty benefits.
Whenever people are afflicted by a life-threatening dis/ease, they are often advised or inspired to start juicing. Similarly, I've seen healthy people decide 1 day to dust off their juicer, and find that that they're able move from feeling ordinary to superhero with this single new habit! Let's learn what the deal is about juicing, and if juicing is right for you.
When you're eating whole foods (which are great, but like juices have their time and place), your body needs to separate the fiber (which doesn't contain nutrients) and the juice (where all the nutrients are). This process takes time, and if your digestion isn't very efficient or you're not chewing your food well, you may not be receiving all the nutrients from the food you're eating.
When you're juicing vegetables, the juicer does all the work for you. On one side, the fiber will come out, and on the other, liquid will flow. Most people then discard the pulp and drink the nutrient dense juice. Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Institute estimated than it only takes 20 minutes for nutrients in fresh juice to be absorbed, which means that your body will remineralize faster and more efficiently. That's why you can often feel and see a different in your glow pretty immediately (at least I can).
Let's lay out all the vegetables you'd juice. Could you eat them all? Probably not. You might eat them occasionally, but not every single day – or you'd spend a whole lot of time chewing! Juicing allows you to take in a lot more nutrients than you otherwise would.
Now, some might say that if we can't eat it all, then juicing is not a natural thing to do. Nonsense! Nowadays, we do not have the leisure to walk all day with our tribe eating organic, nutrient dense foods that we take time to chew. Less and less time is dedicated to eating, and with soil depletion and other side effects of modern agriculture, our food is not nearly as nutritious as it used to be (and our bodies aren't as mineralized, that's for sure!). We need to eat more to get enough minerals and vitamins, and we paradoxically have less time to do so. Juicing helps us fill our quota of nutrition without having to pop a bunch of pills that are meaningless anyway.
I love vegetables, and regularly eat a wide variety of these beauties. However, even I have trouble with some of them, some that are very beneficial and that I would regret not eating – yet I'm not one to force myself to eat food that I don't enjoy, life's too short for that! As it turns out though, the vegetables I don't like whole are delectable to me once juiced.
For example, I'm not a super fan of whole celery. Juiced though, I can't get enough! I can go through about 3 large heads of celery a week thanks to juices. Same with cucumbers. I can consume a medium cucumber daily in my green juice, but definitely wouldn't eat as many if I had to actually chew them. Ginger? I'm not able eat a big knob of ginger every day… however I can juice it!
Drinking enough fluid is so important; are you?! Most of us know the answer. I personally go in phases with this, and focus on freshly organic foods, juices, AND living structured spring water to truly hydrate my body.
Skip the so-called "vitamin waters" from the store, filled with sugar, flavorings, and synthetic vitamins. Green vegetable juices are the real vitamin water, filled with chlorophyll, minerals, vitamins, and more, in their natural form!
For the guys, green juices get your inner superhero to come out! That's right. When your body is well nourished, has all the minerals it needs, is hydrated, and has its cells dancing, it performs optimally and fires on all cylinders. If a person fueled on junk food can get up in the morning, work all day, raise kids and clean the house, imagine what a person fueled on nutrient dense, nourishing foods can do! Green juices are a crucial step in getting all the nutrients you need and stay mineralized, and they're very easy to make. All you need to do is have them become a habit – even a few times per week is ideal.
Green vegetable juices could be life changers in your quest for optimal health. They will allow you to eat a wider variety of organic vegetables in larger quantities, which in turn will leave you thoroughly hydrated, better nourished, and feeling on top of the world. Remineralizing your whole body becomes a lot easier once you've mastered green juicing!
Join me & my colleague Joanna Steven on our Remineralize Your Body program to remineralize yourself and restore your energy, hormonal balance, and natural beauty! Learn all about juicing, blending, seaweeds, cultured drinks and fermented vegetables, phytic acid breakdown and nutrient activation, and much more, along with daily coaching with our remineralization team!


Whether the countrys cricket authorities have anything to do with the public dealings of skipper Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri or it's the effect of the team's performance in the South Africa and England, the two are a lot mellowed now.
They were not exactly milk and honey talking to the media, though they were quite restrained on the eve of the India team's departure for Australia. They made their customary statements like hoping to become the first team to win a series Down Under and that there'is no reason why they can't win if they perform as a team.
Don't forget, despite their 1-2 defeat in South Africa and 1-4 in England, India are still the No.1 Test side in the world. Kohli and his team will feel they are truly the world's best side by right if they can win in Australia.
Kohli also realises that he need not exhibit his anger to psyche himself or the side up after the disapproval rating he received both in South Africa and in England when he seemed to lose his cool or behave in a way that's not expected of a captain – even if others are not measuring up to the high standards the International Cricket Council has set.
He made it clear that he would like to play straight without getting into arguments on the field, but if the opponents want it that way, he wouldn't mind playing the Australian way.
He was firm in saying that "if they want to play in a certain way, we will reciprocate in that way, that's how the game of cricket goes", adding that he would like to play like the Australians, hard and fair.
In fact, he did not take on the mediapersons asking what they thought of the team's performance or what would be the best eleven in the reporter's view.
Kohli can still look at his own performance as captain with a degree of satisfaction when his counterparts elsewhere are under pressure to keep their teams under check or face the consequences.
As a batsman, he is clearly head and shoulders above all other international batsmen in all formats of the game, in Tests in particular, having toted up 1,063 runs at an average of a shade less than 60.
In shorter formats, the challenge is from not anyone else but his own deputy and opening batsman Rohit Sharma, who smashes record after record practically every time he goes out to bat.
Finally, there is the stock question from the mediapersons, that Kohli dominates the team management and Ravi Shastri is essentially a 'yes man'. This could have made him snap, but he did not. He handled the situation deftly.
All that Kohli can do to inspire is to ask his teammates to stick around with him. That still means pressure on him.
He cannot ask his bowlers to do everything to win matches or even contribute with the bat lower down as has been happening for a couple of years now. Look at the number of hundreds scored by Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya – not to speak of Rishab Pant.
Ideally, at least one top-order batsman must play a big knock to make things easier for the middle and lower-order batsmen. If in every innings two batsmen can get going and others can play around them, it can safely give the team a 400-plus score. In Australia in the past, even 400-plus first-innings scores were not adequate to win matches.
To expect Kohli to reproduce the form he showed four years ago when he scored 692 runs, averaging a staggering 86.5 is not fair. He is right: Individual landmarks do contribute to the team's growth, but they have to pool their resources in a consistent manner.
Finally, he amplified Shastri's theory, that yes, a lot of things went wrong in England, but to be honest, there was not much that went wrong!
Everyone agrees, the points Kohli raised or answered have to be corrected this time around. Will they?

Jennifer Lopez is working on her fitness!
The triple-threat star is currently vacationing on the Amalfi Coast in Italy with her boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez. Even though the loving pair is on vacay in the scenic location, that hasn't stopped them from getting in their workouts! In fact, Rodriguez even took to his Instagram Story to document one such occasion.
In the video, the 49-year-old entertainer is clad in an all-gray, skintight look, while she uses her impressive upper body strength to do pull-ups. The 43-year-old former Yankees player is clearly impressed, sharing the clip to the tune of Cardi B's hit song, "I Like It." While pull-ups are definitely a challenge, Lopez's beautiful surroundings -- she appears to be on a picture-perfect boat and surrounded by shimmering water -- surely eased the struggle a bit.
The "El Anillo" singer wasn't the only one to get in on the workout action. A-Rod also shared a shirtless, mid-workout pic of himself, showing off his toned back muscles while he took a turn at the pull-up bar.
The couple seems to be having the trip of a lifetime! Earlier this week, Rodriguez shared a video of Lopez singing in Capri, Italy. They've also been spotted sunbathing on a yacht and wearing matching all-white looks.
He later confirmed that while the accessory has "significance," the two are not engaged just yet. Back in March, however, a source told ET that Rodriguez and Lopez have "discussed marriage."

Freddie Mercury Was Part of Brian May and Roger Taylor's Entourage Before Forming Queen
The musicians eventually rallied around the flamboyant frontman to form one of the most innovative and successful rock bands of the 1970s.

While mention of Queen usually conjures up images of its legendary frontman, Freddie Mercury, the band was actually the musical creation of guitarist Brian May, many years before Mercury wowed the world with his three-octave vocal range.
Raised in the Feltham, Middlesex, section of London, a teenage May was smart and dedicated enough to build his own guitar, the legendary Red Special, with his father in 1963. The following year, he joined classmate Dave Dilloway to form a band called 1984, adding harmonica player and vocalist Tim Staffell before their first public gig in October.
As detailed in Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury, 1984 was a cover band that played hits by groups like The Shadows, The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones, displaying enough craftsmanship to land a gig on the same bill as supernova guitarist Jimi Hendrix in May 1967.
May, who was studying astronomy at London's Imperial College, soon quit the band to ostensibly focus on his schoolwork. But he also yearned for more creative musical expression, and he joined forces with his old bandmate Staffell, now attending the nearby Ealing College of Art, and fellow Ealing student and organist Chris Smith to launch a new group that became known as Smile.
The trio became a quartet when London Hospital Medical College dentistry student Roger Taylor responded to the group's advertisement for a drummer. Formerly the centerpiece of a popular Cornwall band called The Reaction, Taylor impressed the others with his chops and energy, and by the fall of 1968, Smile was professionally up and running.

Meanwhile, Staffell and Smith had become friends with a unique character named Freddie Bulsara. Born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar, Mercury had emigrated with his conservative Parsee family to Feltham, Middlesex, in 1964, before enrolling at Ealing in 1966.
Largely remembered by classmates as shy and quiet, Mercury nonetheless stood out for his exotic looks and budding taste for outlandish fashions. He also possessed a sharp sense of humor and an endearingly campy side, traits that made an immediate impression on May and Taylor upon their first meeting in early 1969.
Before long, Mercury was an established member of the Smile entourage, instructing its members on how to perform and lobbying to become the lead singer while following them around on gigs. He grew especially close to Taylor and moved in with the band after graduating from Ealing in 1969.
That summer, Mercury became the lead singer of a cover band called Ibex. Eventually changing its name to Wreckage, the group struggled to find its footing and disbanded by the end of the year, though not before its frontman stumbled upon what would become his signature move of parading around with the top half of a mic stand.

Mercury, May and Taylor launched Queen in 1970
As Wreckage flailed, the fortunes of Smile also waxed and waned. They cut a single for Mercury Records, "Earth/Step on Me," which quickly vanished after its August 1969 U.S. release and a gig at London's Marquee Club that December fell flat.
By early 1970, Smile had been dumped by its label and lead singer Staffell. Mercury was then involved with another group called Sour Milk Sea, but this venture soon petered out as well.
Thus created the opportunity that had been staring everyone in the face for some time, and in April 1970, Mercury, May and Taylor agreed to move forward with their musical aspirations together.
First up was the band's name. It was Mercury, favoring the simplicity of a one-word name, who came up with Queen, which referenced his androgynous nature and regal aspirations for success. He also set about completing his own transformation from shy London immigrant to rock star, with a nod to the Roman mythological messenger of the gods, henceforth becoming known as Freddie Mercury.

The band found its missing piece in bassist John Deacon
Queen played its first formal gig at a Cornwall Red Cross benefit on June 27, 1970, with Mercury singing and strutting, May on guitar, Taylor on drums and Mike Grose on bass.
This arrangement didn't work, and after a few shows, Barry Mitchell took over on bass. In early 1971, the job was briefly entrusted to Doug Bogie.
The missing link was uncovered after a chance meeting with bassist John Deacon at a London disco in February. An electronics student at Chelsea College, Deacon was a few years younger but a seasoned performer with a Leicestershire band called The Opposition. Quiet and a quick learner, he fit right in with a headstrong group that was stubbornly plowing ahead with its musical dreams.
Indeed, it would take quite a bit of stubbornness for Queen to ride out the two-and-a-half years until their self-titled debut album hit stores, but the pieces were in place, setting the stage for the emergence of one of the most innovative and popular rock bands of the decade and beyond.

Developer Tim Reynolds, describing Studio A as run-down and mold-infested, told The Tennessean he has no plans to develop the property himself. Instead he will try to re-sell the property, perhaps to an out-of-state developer looking to move to Music Row.
The Tennessean reported early Monday afternoon that RCA Studio A has been sold to Brentwood-based developer Bravo Development. Tenants of the building — including Studio A's high profile renter, musician Ben Folds — were told to expect new lease terms to arrive shortly.
Very little is known about what this means for the studio's future. The Nashville Business Journal says Bravo owner Tim Reynolds hung up the phone when reached for comment.
We reported previously that debate around the sale pits preservationists against one of Nashville most legendary guitarists Harold Bradley, who owned the studio he started with his brother Owen Bradley and Chet Atkins.
Before the sale, Tim Reynolds said he intended to preserve the studio but declined to elaborate on specific re-development plans.

In Spanish its called vino de Jerez, literally meaning "wine of Jerez", which is a very fitting name since Sherry is made from the white grapes growing near the Spanish town called Jerez.
The word "Sherry" is, not suprisingly, originated from the word Jerez. All wine labeled as Sherry must legally be produced within the so-called Sherry Triangle, which an area in the province of Cádiz between Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. The town and the area around Jerez has been a center of producing wine since the Phoenicians arrived to Spain in 1100 BC. When the Moors conquered the area in 711 AD, distillation was introduced and it was possible to start making fortified wine and brandy.
During the period when the Moors had the area conquered the town was called Sherish, a name from where both Jerez and Sherry originates.
There are six different styles of Sherry:
1.	Fino – The driest and most pale of the traditional Sherry varieties.
2.	Manzanilla – A version of Fino Sherry made around Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
3.	Amontillado – First aged under a cap of Flor yeast and then exposed to oxygen makes this type of Sherry darker than Fino but lighter than the next type.
4.	Oloroso – Means scented in Spanish because it is darker and richer than the previous types, it is also the strongest style of Sherry alcohol-wise with alcohol levels as high as 18-20%.
5.	Palo Cortado – Produced in a similar way to the Amontillado, but develops the richness of the Oloroso, which gives it some of the characteristics from both of the varieties.
6.	Sweet Sherry – In Spanish this is known as Jerez Dulce and is made from taking either one of the previous styles and mixing in some Pedro Ximénez or Moscatel wine. When making sweet sherry out of Oloroso it is called Cream Sherry, when made from Fino it is called pale cream Sherry and medium Sherry when made from Amontillado.

Jurassic World 2 actor James Cromwell was recently interviewed by Collider while promoting his upcoming film, 'The Promise'. While they do not go into too much detail about the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel, Cromwell chattily shared some of his experiences working on the picture, and what it's like jumping into such a big budget film.
He mentions that despite the large budget, director JA Bayona still had to fight for certain creative freedoms while making the movie. Being a fan of Bayona's prior work, I know he has a good eye and mind, so I do hope we won the arguments!
Cromwell went on to talk about his experience working with Bayona, including a scene where he was surprised by the directors request for him to cry.
Just who is James Cromwell playing, and what scene calls for him to cry? While we'll have to wait until June 2018 to see why the tears start flowing, we do have some theories on his characters role: the wealthy owner of the mansion from the first set picture. Perhaps his character is even married to Geraldine Chaplin's – someone else that fans speculated may own the mansion.
Whatever the story of Jurassic World 2 is, we couldn't be more thrilled to learn more! Sound off in the comments below, and let us know what you want to see from James Cromwell in Jurassic World 2, and stay tuned for all the latest news!
Also, in case you missed it, here is a dinosaur from within that mansion shared by Frank Marshall today!
What if he is an eccentric billionaire/dinosaur enthusiast and pays the army to go in and pick out dinosaurs for a personal collection from Isla Nublar. And the protest is to leave dinos on the island instead of bring them to the mainland as pets.
I actually think that is either exactly what is going on or very very close. I do believe personally that you hit the nail on the head.
If you look up in the upper right hand corner, you will see a light fixture. The same light fixture from the first mansion photo. That along with James currently filming and doing interviews would lead me to believe he is the mansion owner and is currently filming his scenes.
I'm betting he's John Hammond's brother who is trying to convince the world that the dinosaurs must be preserved.
He can be related to John Hammond. Perhaps even his younger brother. Just like the late Richard Attenborough has a younger brother, naturalist David Attenborough. Geraldine Chaplin could be his wife, or sister. As for the mansion, this could be the Hammond family mansion. If this is the case then it will be a nice emotional tip of the hat to both Richard Attenborough and the first film.
If Cromwell was asked to cry, It might be about some favourite dinosaur of him. I think he'll be a good character, not a bad guy.
