Australian and international perspectives on the cosmopolitan civil sphere
Home \ workshop
This workshop is one of five workshops funded under ASSA's International Science Linkage (ISL) program in 2010-11. ASSA's ISL Workshop program was funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research and administered by the Academy, with the aim of promoting access to and participation by Australian social researchers in strategically focussed, leading edge, international researchers and their research findings and increasing strategic alliances between Australian and overseas social science researchers and institutions.
Cosmopolitanism has re-emerged in the last two decades as a major focus for debates about social change, globalization, and cultural difference. It also represents a major theme in questions of public policy and political ethics suited to the challenges of a global society. The massive proliferation of research generated has however overwhelmed any single attempt to encapsulate the meaning, relevance, and limits of cosmopolitanism, either as a way of understanding global change or constructing new political institutions (Beck, 2006; Fine 2007; Kendall, Woodward and Skrbis 2004, 2009). The proposed workshop would address the challenges associated with this state of affairs, drawing on Australian and international research.
Cosmopolitanism is both an important fact of the contemporary world and also a normative ideal related to increasing global awareness and empathy amongst citizens, and the desirability of peace rather than war. It is also associated with greater cooperation and communication between states to address issues which require solutions beyond the jurisdiction of any one nation-state (Fine 2007; Holton 2009; Kendall, Woodward, Skrbis 2009). The full realisation of a cosmopolitan global society may appear a utopian fantasy. Yet being able to think `ourselves beyond the nation' (Appadurai 1996), beyond national citizenship (Soysal 1994), and beyond the fixities of time and space is becoming not only easier, but also increasingly vital in an age where global issues manifest and effervesce locally. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that Australia, like all other nations to some degree or another, is undergoing a process of cosmopolitanisation. The consequences of this process confronts Australian citizens on an everyday basis in the form of bubbling public issues related to migration, global environmental issues, matters of national sovereignty, the deleterious impacts of global economic processes and the flow of different cultural goods such as movies or music.
This development comes under the rubric of what Beck (2006) and other theorists have called `cosmopolitanisation'. Part of the social scientific challenge of such an idea is findings its articulation at the level of the `really existing' layer of everyday life and it is here we can turn to the notion of the civil sphere to explore the impact of such cosmopolitanisation processes on the lives of citizens. The idea of the civil sphere has been important for understanding the constitution of social collectives which are formed as a result of the feelings and connections within and amongst citizens (Habermas 1989; Alexander 2006). In the terms posited by cosmopolitanisation theory, the civil sphere of any nation is shaped by national and local events, but also increasingly by events outside its borders. Thus, the processes which tie citizens together, including the legal and normative processes by which disputes are resolved, cultural differences negotiated and hospitalities afforded, is determined significantly by international contexts and their playing out in local contexts.
Australia's embeddedness within such global networks is a sign of our dependency on such sets of connections. But this embeddedness presents opportunities and challenges not just in terms of Australia's economic health, but also in terms of its social and cultural cohesion. There has been little systematic examination of Australian society through application of the civil sphere model and an important goal of this workshop is to think through the place of the nation-state and the national civil sphere within the context of the challenges of cosmopolitanisation theory. This rendering of theories of the civil sphere in the context of cosmopolitanism theory is a significant point of innovation within this proposal. Such an innovation allows models of the civil sphere – previously principally nation-state bound – to be dynamically influenced by the global and mobile frameworks which underpin cosmopolitanism theory. This workshop will focus on four substantive themes in relation to these cosmopolitanisation processes: 1) migration, 2) culture, 3) nation-state governance in the global era, 4) everyday forms of cosmopolitan engagement within Australia.
The aim of this workshop is to gather together an interdisciplinary mix of scholars, who are geographically dispersed and at different career stages, to examine the way Australian society is being shaped and challenged by this cosmopolitanisation process. Specifically, the workshop's scholarly goals are to: (i) understand theoretically the effect of these cosmopolitanisation processes on various aspects of Australian society and culture, (ii) apply diverse empirical approaches to understanding the way cosmopolitanisation processes effect the civil sphere of Australian society within a range of spheres, from health, urban life and to social cohesion, (iii) apply the insights of leading international researchers to understand the composition and make-up of national civil spheres – particularly that of Australia – in the context of the global networks it is a part of.
The workshop is convened by scholars who have been at the forefront of recent international developments in studies of globalisation and cosmopolitanism theory (Prof Robert Holton, ASSA Fellow, Trinity College Dublin), migration and transnationalism (Prof. Zlatko Skrbis, The University of Queensland) and culture, consumption and cosmopolitanism (Dr Ian Woodward, Griffith University). Drawing on their international networks, this convenorship team has assembled a mix of very senior international scholars who can shed light on different dimensions of the cosmopolitanisation process. Professor David Held, Graham Wallace Professor of Economics and Head of the LSE Global Governance Centre at the London School of Economics, is perhaps the foremost theorist on globalisation and questions of cosmopolitan governance. Likewise, Professor Mica Nava, Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of East London, is the most influential cultural analyst of historical, embodied and domestic forms of cosmopolitan engagement. Professor Brenda Yeoh, Professor in the Department of Geography at the National University of Singapore, is a global expert on cities, population flows and transnationalism. All of these very senior global researchers have enthusiastically agreed to participate in this workshop. We have also invited a mix of Australian scholars, at different career stages and institutionally dispersed, whose work sits at the core of the questions we wish to deal with in the workshop. The workshop will be an excellent opportunity for international exchange and provide a platform for potential future research collaboration.

Newcastle's Steve Bruce says 'morally wrong' to keep playing amid pandemic
By Reuters Jan 8, 2021
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce believes it is "morally wrong" for English football to continue as Covid-19 cases continue to surge in the country and disrupt the fixtures list.
Shrewsbury's third-round FA Cup tie with Southampton was postponed after a significant number of cases reported within their club, while several other fixtures are in jeopardy.
Newcastle were the first Premier League side to be hit by a coronavirus outbreak earlier this season, leading to their training ground being shut down for 10 days.
"Certainly at our club, when you are getting more and more cases every few hours, it is scary... how it ripped through lots and lots of people," Bruce told a news conference.
"That is something a lot of football clubs are looking at now. Financially it's right to play on, but for me - morally it's wrong. I understand people want to play a game of football but we are just as vulnerable as everyone else."
Covid-19 outbreaks have led to four Premier League matches being postponed and more than 50 games in the lower divisions of the Football League being called off this season.
The Professional Footballers' Association has urged players to be sensible when celebrating goals to avoid spreading the virus.
But Bruce, whose team face Arsenal in the FA Cup on Saturday, said it was easier said than done and will not condemn any player for enjoying the game.
"Even though we are doing everything possible to stick to the protocols, how do you stop Manchester City celebrating together because they have reached another (League) Cup final like they did the other night?" he said.
"We want to see that. If you stop that, you are stopping the whole enjoyment of sport."

FBI Chicago Reaches Out to Asian Community on Hate Crimes
Emmerson Buie Jr., special agent in charge of the FBI's Chicago Division, delivered a message to the Asian community that fighting hate crimes will require mutual cooperation.
Hi. I'm Emmerson Buie Jr., and I'm the special agent in charge of the Chicago Division of the FBI.
I would like to thank the Asian American Coalition of Chicago for providing me with this opportunity to speak with you. Over the past year there have been a number of incidents that have been publicized both nationally and locally involving the Asian community, and they have negatively impacted our Asian communities, some of which are hate crimes.
Hate crimes cannot be allowed in any community, and the FBI wants the Asian American community here in Chicago to know that we would like to partner with you to ensure that we do not allow this type of behavior to get a foothold in our community.
It's going to require you to trust us, and it's going to require us to be able to trust with you. That's our goal, and that's our aim. We want you to feel comfortable reporting these crimes because there are thousands of hate crimes that occur across the country and even more so that never get reported.
We need to change that in the Chicagoland area, and I want you know that if you report a hate crime to us we will take it seriously and we will act upon it. If it doesn't fall within our jurisdiction, then we will work you to report it to the local authorities so that they can take action.
We will also work with you on the back end to ensure that you are aware of some of the signs and symbols that might indicate that something's amiss or some group or organization may be operating in your area if there is graffiti or there are other things that are said. This is the kind of partnership and trust we have to have with each other.
The FBI is also asking that you assist us in trying to diversify our ranks. Our Asian population within the FBI is not where it should be. We need your help in this regard because, again, it's a matter of understanding, it's a matter of trust, and it's a matter of us providing the information to you that will assist you to assist us in recruiting Asian Americans to be a part of one of the greatest law enforcement organizations in America that needs to represent all Americans.
So with that, I look forward to meeting you all in person at some point once we remove ourselves from this pandemic, and I would like you all to have a blessed day. Thank you.

Future Perfect: An immersive 3D audio visual performance and installation work
Published on 03/21/2019 by admin
2017.18 Artistic Research Residency. Garth Paine. In collaboration with the Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces Team and the Sound Music Movement Interaction Team at IRCAM-STMS and the ZKM.
2017.18 Artistic Research Residency
In collaboration with the Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces Team and the Sound Music Movement Interaction Team at IRCAM-STMS and the ZKM.
Future Perfect is an immersive 3D audio visual performance and installation work developed by Garth Paine for synchronous 3D sound and VR image space, presented both as a concert at ZKM and as a smart phone virtual reality musical-visual work.
The project explores the seam between virtual reality as a documentation format for environmental research and archiving nature, with the idea that 'nature' as we know it may, in the near future, only exist in virtual reality archives, and the notion of the virtual, a hyper-real imaginative world contained by a technological mediation presenting that world to the individual as a private experience. The residency period at IRCAM will focus on developing interactive crowd mapping using smart phone beacons and on interactive spatialization techniques, whilst the residency period at ZKM will focus on the composition of a musical work for performance in the Klangdome using field recordings gathered by community members in Paris and Karlsruhe, creating an immersive and enveloping audience experience. The audience will be provided with VR HMD holders for their smart phones which, when enter the Klangdome will provide the visual environment for the work. With the sound coming from the loudspeaker array within the Klangdome and the image world of the work being a 360-degree VR world made up of environmental video images of nature sanctities within the cities of Paris and Karlsruhe, the performance will not have a fixed POV, the audience will generate their own journey through the work and determine their own viewing and listening perspectives.
Garth Paine
Garth Paine is a professor of Digital Sound and Interactive Media at the School of Arts Media and Engineering and Digital Culture program at Arizona State University.
He has created interactive responsive environments where the inhabitant generates the sonic landscape through their presence and behavior and composed many music scores for dance works, generated through realtime video tracking and bio-sensing. He was awarded a Green Room Award for Outstanding Creativity, for Escape Velocity (Company in Space) and was a finalist for the Best new Musical Score for Dance, 2014. His work has been shown across the globe. Recent performances in Australia, USA, Korea and Europe have presented works for percussion and live electronic processing, resonating metal instruments, motion tracked dance and Tibetan singing bowl robots. The breadth of his practice is expressed through an enquiry into sound as material.

So You Want To Serve on a Nonprofit Board Without Giving Money or Fundraising
"They should want me for my expertise, not my checkbook," is the perspective I hear from some people interested in serving on nonprofit boards. So what's the real story here? What exactly do nonprofits need and want from you? Are they just after your money?
By Alice Korngold 3 minute Read
The truth about nonprofits and their funding:
Nonprofit revenue models are complicated. In business, the revenue model tends to be pretty straightforward: there's a product or service and a price. For each nonprofit, however, there are usually multiple revenue sources (federal, state, and local government; corporate, foundation, and private philanthropy; and fees for services) that each have different requirements and expectations, often with onerous reporting demands and regulations, all timed differently, and most varying from year-to-year based on new and often unpredictable funding trends and interests. Often the payers are third-party, so they are not receiving the services directly.
Most nonprofit services require significant subsidies through philanthropy. (If a homeless shelter could be profitable, it would be a hotel.)
Most of the time, if a nonprofit asks people outside of the board for funding, the "outsider" will expect the nonprofit to demonstrate that the board members themselves and their companies and foundations are highly generous; outsiders are reluctant to invest in a nonprofit where its own board members do not believe enough in the organization to support it.
The nonprofit business model is changing; some might say it's exploding, given trends that are not dissimilar from changes in the for-profit sector. For example, in both for-profits and nonprofits, it is sometimes becoming less important to invest in a "place" (Amazon as a bookseller for example), and more important to build audiences through electronic communication, or distribute services through hub and spoke models. In the current economy, nonprofits are also increasingly collaborating with each other (Atlas Perfoming Arts) and with businesses (Partners in Preservation) in order to expand their impact and increase efficiencies. And nonprofits are pursuing more enterprising approaches (DC Central Kitchen).
Philanthropy models are also changing, in many cases becoming more business-like (Ford Foundation), engaging the public in grant decision-making (American Express), and involving business executives and professionals on nonprofit boards to increase impact through service and also foster leadership development as a complement to corporate philanthropy (Clifford Chance).
What the board and organization really need from you as a board member:
Expertise from business people who will help the organization strengthen its business model to be more successful in today's marketplace. For example, expertise in branding and messaging, customer service, public relations, pricing, business strategy, and advocacy (for government and philanthropic funding).
Pro-bono services from your company or firm.
Expertise from people in the "industry" of the nonprofit, who understand nonprofits and the work of the particular organization, whether that's in conservation, urban development, arts, or education. (So, indeed, I believe there is a highly valuable role for nonprofit experts on nonprofit boards.)
Diverse perspectives from people from a broad variety of cultures and backgrounds. Such diversity helps the board enrich its vision of the nonprofit's potential, ensure that the organization benefits multitudes of people well, and expands its networks of support to maximize revenues.
A financial contribution from each and every board member at some level in order to experience the pleasure of supporting the organization and demonstrate your support to others. A highly generous financial contribution from those of you who have the means to do so, and meaningful contributions from your companies where such funding is available; this is particularly important to set the pace for fellow board members, new recruits, and prospective funders.
Your active participation in asking for financial support for the organization from a variety of sources. If you believe in the compelling work of the organization – whether it's preserving the environment, fighting poverty, protecting human rights, educating children, or providing healthcare – it's easy to do. You are asking for support on behalf of the community and the people you serve…not for yourself. Your role as a board member is to work with the nonprofit's CEO, staff, and fellow board members to see where and how you can be most helpful in making the case – whether that's in meetings with government liaisons, foundation or company representatives, or individuals whom you or the nonprofit knows. And you should be talking about your board whenever you can to help build support.
There are many great reasons to join a nonprofit board, including your own personal and professional development. But, ultimately, you will only succeed and have a good experience if you choose a cause you care about. And if you do care about it, it will be easy to do everything you can to help the organization to achieve success. Do that and you will have an amazing experience and make the world a better place.

Aesthetically Madrid was absolutely amazing, but I actually did not have the best experience there. I hate to seem negative, but realistically, traveling has it's ups and downs. The museums were extraordinary and the parks were stunningly beautiful, but beyond that my friends and I did not find Madrid to be too welcoming. Traveling can be tough, you're dealing with different people with different perspectives and that can lead to misjudgment and prejudice. I know plenty of people who have experienced otherwise while traveling in Madrid, so hopefully someday if I do return, I will enjoy my returning trip. But until then, here's my take on Madrid, Europe has an abundance of beautiful scenery and many great people, so unless you have a specific need or desire to go to Madrid, I feel like there's other places I would prioritize first.
We began our touristic adventures in the courtyard of Plaza Mayor before heading to Mercado de San Miguel. We regrettably did not eat there, but it was simply mesmerizing to watch the rapid foreign commerce. We then walked to the Palacio Real De Madrid. The Palacio was complete with lush gardens and a nice panoramic view of the city. Since we were traveling at the peak of summer, we truly enjoyed relaxing in the shade of the garden for a moment before our continued exploration. Afterwards we continued wandering all over the city, we found some nice shops, and further immersed ourselves in the city. We quickly stopped for dinner at a small, family owned restaurant for tapas, and then we hurried on over to San Gines Chocolateria for freshly baked churros dipped in warm melted chocolate. Needless to say, San Gines was probably the best part of Madrid.
Later that night, we sat around the fountain in the center of Puerta del Sol, where we watched a competitive rollerblading team practice and "perform" their tricks. My knees hurt just thinking about that train wreck… I can appreciate the fearless stunts, but I still cringe at the idea of all of the shattered bones and abrasions that we witnessed. The next day we went to Museo Nacional Del Prado before returning to Puerta del Sol to visit the symbol of Madrid, the Bear and the Madroño Tree.
After our touristic adventures, we stopped for a bottle of wine and decided to have a quiet night in. Suddenly, all of the walking and rapid traveling was beginning to catch up to us. We crawled into bed, watched a movie, and just relaxed before our long next few days ahead in Ibiza.

The Coalition's NBN policy is now a 'bare-minimum broadband' policy that will set Australia at the back of the pack over time. This week in Business Spectator the Turnbull approach to how to cause telecommunications chaos is discussed and what the detrimental effects will be for Australia are highlighted.
A key proposal included in the draft of the Annual Broadband Progress Report circulated to fellow FCC commissioners by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Tom Wheeler on January 8 is for the definition of broadband to be raised from 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream to 25 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream.
Last month, the FCC ruled that US internet service providers (ISPs) receiving Universal Service (known as Connect America) funding to build rural and remote broadband networks must provide customers with a minimum 10 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream, which raises the download speed that was last set in 2011 at 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.
By pursuing the Multi-Technology Mix (MTM) approach to building the National Broadband Network (NBN) the Coalition has adopted a broadband policy which I described in 2013 as a lemon. As the rest of the world moves to exploit upgraded cable and new all fibre access networks, one has to wonder where it's going to lead us.
The FCCs new definition of broadband means that for many Australians they will be provided with 'bare minimum broadband' under the current Coalition broadband policy that was announced prior to the last election with the key commitment to provide at least 25/5 Mbps for all premises by the end of 2016 and 50/x Mbps for 90 per cent of fixed line premises as soon as possible.
The then opposition leader Tony Abbott, displaying considerable exuberance at the Coalition broadband policy launch on April 8 2013, stated "Malcolm is going to be Mr Broadband" when referring to future Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
In an announcement on January 16, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announcedthe New NY Broadband Plan an investment of $US500 million to raise the minimum broadband connection speed of all consumers in New York state to 100 Mbps downstream.
The funding to be provided by the state government would be provided to private sector network operators in a 1:1 funding match to kick start infrastructure investment. Cuomo's announcement included the possibility that in special circumstances, likely to be aimed at the more remote corners of New York state, private sector network operators could apply for funding for networks that would provide 25 Mbps if the infrastructure has the capacity to scale up to 100 Mbps.
Cuomo made the claim that broadband accounts for 20 per cent of new jobs and 30 per cent of new jobs in small businesses when justifying why there was a need to provide the more than one million New Yorkers who have broadband connections with 6 Mbps or less with better connections.
The report describes the need for community-based broadband solutions due to the failure of the private sector to adequately provide higher-speed broadband to enough Americans.
To put some perspective on access to broadband in the US, about 80 per cent of the population has access to broadband over HFC that is being progressively upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 which typically provides up to 100 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
The Australian HFC networks that pass about three million premises have already been upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0, though there remains debate over the state of the Australian HFC networks and whether they would cope with a large number of connections operating at 100 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
In the latest Akamai State of the Internet Report, which measures broadband connectivity from server to consumer, both Germany (average 8.7 Mbps) and the United Kingdom (average 10.7 Mbps), two countries often highlighted by Turnbull as shining examples of why Australian needs the MTM, languish behind many other European and industrialised countries but remain higher than Australia (average 6.9 Mbps).
The Akamai report goes on to highlight that only 14 per cent of Australian connectivity was above 10 Mbps.
The connection speed over the 'last mile', while being important, should not become the sole focus of the NBN debate because as the Akamai report demonstrates there is a need for the network to have the capacity necessary to provide improved connectivity between servers and consumers.
It is this aspect of the state of the Australian network that the Coalition's MTM NBN provides no solutions because rather than building and dimensioning a new access network back to the points of interconnect with service providers. The Coalition aims to simply hook the existing HFC networks to the NBN, rollout FTTN technology utilising existing infrastructure wherever possible and try to convince the Australian voter that this is a wonderful outcome. Well it isn't.
At this point, from what has been released by NBN Co and the government there is little reason to believe the HFC and FTTN networks will have the capacity necessary to support the rapid growth in traffic across the NBN anticipated as video streaming booms in 2015 and beyond.
The folly of the Coalitions MTM NBN is the belief that Australia should follow in the footsteps of nations that commenced MTM rollouts 10 years ago, at a time when it was reasonable to rollout FTTN/B, and are now moving to upgraded HFC or fully fibre access networks.
The government could be in for a tsunami of bad news over the coming months as nations around the world join the "gigabit race" and look to upgrade existing HFC access networks or to rollout all fibre access networks. It will take a mountain of spin for the government to stay the course with the MTM NBN in the lead up to the 2016 election and even if everything goes to plan, and it's a big if, we are on course to end up with a network that will barely meet the standard definition of broadband.

Resident Evil 7 Breakdown
by Dom Richards February 15, 2017
The Resident Evil series is one of the most popular franchises in the history of video games. It is, in fact, this humble writer's favourite (and the subject of my first set of articles here at Gaming Respawn, links will be at the bottom). The series had lost its way in recent years and switched to a more action-oriented mindset, though these games were not bad. Well, 6 was rather poor. Either way, Resident Evil had forgotten its roots. Capcom had abandoned what truly made the series magnificent, horror. But thankfully, they returned to what the series does best, scaring people. We gave a glowing review of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard with Ian summarizing:
Resident Evil goes back to its survival horror roots in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, delivering a stellar horror experience that will keep your heart rate high from start to finish.
I completely agree with this; however, as a self-confessed obsessed Resident Evil enthusiast, I thought it might be fun to break down what I loved and what I didn't during my playthrough. Now, ladies and gentlemen, this article will contain a plethora of spoilers, so if you haven't finished the game, then please, just save this for when you have.
What I loved
Perhaps one of the most important elements in a survival horror game; if you can't get the visuals right, then the game will just not be scary, and this is perhaps my favourite aspect of Resident Evil 7. Everywhere you explore in the game world, from the Spencer Mansion-inspired Baker estate to the dark tunnels of the salt mine, Resident Evil 7 will make you feel extremely uncomfortable as you progress. The lighting is fantastic and will create shapes and shadows which will make you stop dead in your tracks while quickly raising whichever weapon you have ammo for. It seems to be a modern trait for survival horror games, especially first-person ones to have the game set in the pitch black dark. This is an effective way to create some tension, but if it is used too much, then it becomes predictable.
Capcom created a perfect balance between well-lit and dark in the environments you progress through, and when it comes time to explore the darkness, it is a truly terrifying moment. The characters all look great, especially the new 'zombie-esque' enemies, the Molded, which look like a cross between Venom from the Spider-Man universe and the Dark Dweller from The Pirates of Dark Water (if you have no idea what that show is, then you need to watch it, now!). No matter how many times I come face to face with them, they still creep me the hell out. My favourite area of them all, though, has got to be the abandoned boat. It was claustrophobic, dark, eery and the corridors seemed endless. Add all that together with a multitude of the Molded and the young girl version of Eveline, and you've got the perfect horror setting.
A truly terrifying moment thanks to the missus.
Much like visuals, if you don't get the sound right, then good luck trying to scare anyone. Resident Evil 7′s sound is nothing short of remarkable. From the noises made by those damn, pesky Molded to the soundtrack which pipes up at random moments, with a particular highlight being the score as you get set to leave the abandoned boat, it is truly hauntingly beautiful. When you hear something horrible waiting for you, that will truly get the old heart rate racing. And again, Resident Evil 7 perfected the mixture of enemies jumping out at you and you hearing them from a distance. What's worse? Well, for me, it's when you hear them. Jump scares are horror 101 and a guaranteed way to scare the audience, but if you want to truly scare the audience, then a slow, uncomfortable build up is the way, and Resident Evil 7 mastered this. However, it is your beloved wife, Mia, that takes the prize as the most terrifying encounter. Early in Resident Evil 7 when she is walking up the stairs from the basement, that scared the living shit out of me!! I actually threw my controller at my face when I jumped, honestly. This was the combination of perfectly executed tension building sound and ominous dark visuals. From then on, I knew I was in for a truly terrifying and enjoyable ordeal.
You'll reluctantly open every door expecting something waiting for you on the other side.
Ian, again, getting it spot on in his review. It has always been a nerve-wracking experience opening a door in a Resident Evil game. Now though, as Resident Evil 7 has switched to a first-person perspective, it is more unnerving than ever. This is especially true in the first half of the game where those damn Bakers could be lurking in any room just waiting for you to pop your head in. The doors in Resident Evil 7 are also a great way to conserve your limited ammunition because the Molded are incapable of opening them. If you shoot everything that moves in Resident Evil 7, well, actually you couldn't because there isn't enough ammo, but if you tried, then you would run out way before the end of the game. Running past enemies has always been a fundamental part of the gameplay, but now you can take enemies out of the occasion completely. Just make sure it isn't a room you need to revisit later on because, if you're anything like me, you'll forget the rooms where you trapped the Molded, and you will be in for a frightening shock.
Do yourself a favour, do not forget which rooms you trap these guys in.
You have never felt more personally involved in a Resident Evil game as you do with Resident Evil 7, and it is thanks to Capcom's genius idea to switch the main series to a first-person perspective. First-person survival horror games are becoming increasingly popular thanks to games such as Amnesia and Outlast, and first-person horror shooters have been around for decades, with a handful of Resident Evil rail shooters. Combat is obviously unavoidable, but this isn't a shooter, this is true horror through your (sort of) very own eyes. The Capcom execs must have seen all of the recent first-person survival horror games released over the last few years and thought, "Man, we can beat any of this," and they did. When you have a creature running at you in a third-person game, yes, it is still frightening, but nowhere near as frightening when a creature of death is sprinting straight at you. Combat also becomes more frantic with the switch. You would think it would be easier, but you would be wrong. Generally, in a third-person title, there is a minimal amount of recoil once you fire a weapon. We're not so lucky in Resident Evil 7, especially when it comes to the bigger guns. Lining up your shot is, of course, easier in first-person; however, when you do line up that perfect headshot, and the damn bastard moves to the side so you miss, and then you have to deal with the recoil and possibly reloading the weapon, it is tense, extremely tense.
That Twist
This is now full into spoiler territory, people, so this is your last and final warning. Throughout your bloodcurdling journey in Resident Evil 7, you will keep finding the Grandma of the Baker family. She will not, however, try and kill you or even follow you. She just spontaneously appears throughout the game and will disappear shortly after. During my playthrough, I was struggling to find where this Grandma fit in the puzzle that is the Baker Family. This was my mistake because I was never told she was the Grandma in the family, with no member of the Baker clan even acknowledging her as such. This was an extremely clever ploy by Capcom, and when I discovered the truth that this frail, harmless-looking old lady is actually the evil bio-weapon Eveline in her true form, well, I loved the twist. Hiding in plain sight, and you're even told right at the beginning who she is when you can pick up a photograph of old Eveline, and written on the back is her code name E-001. I honestly did not see it coming, and the revelation of who Grandma is could possibly be my favourite part of Resident Evil 7.
Grandma Baker?
I think it is safe to say, I love Resident Evil 7. After finishing it I just couldn't wait and started another game. I also bought the Banned Vol.1 DLC. However, even though I loved the game, there were two aspects that I didn't like:
What I didn't love
Ethan Winters
Ethan is different from your usual Resident Evil protagonist…
He's not as cunning as Leon Kennedy or as battle-hardened as Chris Redfield, he's a simple civilian, just like you and me.
Generally, I liked Ethan as a character, but there was one aspect which really got on my nerves: his general acceptance of what was happening. From what we can guess, he is just a normal guy not used to such things as bioengineered weapons and monsters. Ethan will occasionally utter the odd 'what the f***' but nowhere near as much as he should. An interesting mechanic Capcom could have included was a sanity meter, like the one found in Eternal Darkness. Maybe Ethan is just braver than I am because, let's be honest, hiding under a table crying for 9 hours wouldn't make for an exciting video game.
Mutant Jack and Final Eveline Boss Fights
The first boss fight with Mia is a horrifying experience (as is the second if you choose to save Zoe instead), the first two with Jack are panic-filled, heart racing, epic duels, and the fight with Marguerite in the greenhouse is a creepy and uncomfortable affair. The other two boss fights, on the other hand, are none of these things and are just dumb. Mutated Jack and Eveline are far removed from the sheer panic and tension created by Resident Evil 7′s other duels. To be honest, Eveline isn't really a boss fight, more of a shooting target until the final cutscene. I went into the final showdown with E-001 fully expecting her to be pulling all sorts of mind tricks to try and stop me, but instead, you just block against her screaming attacks and then inject her, then just keep shooting until the cutscenes trigger. Mutated Jack was a bit more of a challenge but nowhere near as tense as the previous two encounters with him, solely because he just looked comical.
Humorous rather than horrifying.
Apart from these two discrepancies, Resident Evil 7 is a true return to form for the master of survival horror, and I am already counting down the days until Resident Evil 8.

Logan Kettle's father was killed in combat when he was just 15-months-old. Now at the age of nine, his uncle wants to surprise him with a gift to help remember his dad by - a replica of his uniform jacket.
Jeff Kettle was a Green Beret fighting in Afghanistan. Then one day his family received the devastating news that he had lost his life in combat. He left behind his wife, and also his toddler son named Logan. Since then, the boy's uncle Clay (Jeff's brother) has helped Logan learn about his father - who unfortunately never had a chance to really get to know him.
As Logan has come to discover more and more about his dad, one thing he wished he had was his uniform jacket, which went missing after his death. Uncle Clay decided that if he couldn't find the jacket for Logan, he would instead have it recreated. Clay spent a great deal of time and effort piecing the jacket together so that it would look just like his brother's. Eventually when it was completed, he presented it to Logan. The nine-year-old was emotional wearing the jacket as he thought about his father and his major sacrifice. Be sure to watch the video to see the little boy's heartfelt reaction!

Les failles transformantes sont des limites de plaque lithosphérique où il n'y a ni subduction ni création de lithosphère (limite conservative). Elles sont situées en bordure de plaques tectoniques et découpent les dorsales perpendiculairement. Les frontières près de ce type de faille sont géologiquement actives (séismes, volcans...). La faille transformante agit selon un mouvement de coulissage. Les failles transformantes sont des arcs de cercle car tous les mouvements de plaques lithosphériques sont des rotations (conformément au théorème d'Euler) et ce sont des coulissements entre deux plaques lithosphériques. Tous les 200 à 300 km, ces failles décalent l'axe de la dorsale. Seules les zones qui séparent deux axes subissent une sismicité importante, en raison du déplacement en sens contraire de leur portion de lithosphère.

Le terme de faille transformante a été proposé en 1965 par John Tuzo Wilson dans un article de la revue Nature. Il applique ce terme à toutes les failles décrochantes reliant deux autres types de structure (deux segments de dorsales, une dorsale et un arc insulaire, etc.), donc au niveau desquelles "le mouvement s'arrête soudainement ou change de forme et de direction" (Wilson, 1965). Parmi ces failles, Wilson décrit les transformantes reliant deux segments de dorsales, des "failles cisaillantes horizontales qui se terminent abruptement à chaque bout mais peuvent néanmoins montrer de grands déplacements. Chacune peut être conçue comme une paire de demi-cisaillements jointes par leurs extrémités". Il prend l'exemple des transformantes de l'océan Atlantique qui donnent l'apparence d'un décalage senestre des segments de dorsale, mais correspondent en réalité à des failles à mouvement dextre. C'est à ce type de faille que l'on restreint aujourd'hui le qualificatif de "transformante".

La faille transformante la plus célèbre est celle de San-Andreas. Il s'agit en fait d'un ensemble de failles transformantes qui assure le coulissage de la plaque pacifique contre la plaque nord-américaine. La faille nord-pyrénéenne serait également une ancienne faille de coulissage.

Certains auteurs sont en désaccord, considérant qu'il s'agit de décrochement ou « faille décrochante ».

We are focusing on high-efficiency, low-cost silicon photovoltaics, considering the urgent need to develop high-throughput, low-cost, robust processes and device architectures that enable highly efficient n-type Czochralski (Cz) wafer silicon cells. We address technology bottlenecks—from the silicon crystal/wafers all the way to finished 23% interdigitated back-contact cells with passivated contacts.
4-junction cell with "engineered" buffers has ~46% conversion efficiency.
The efficiency and concentration of III-V multijunction solar cells can be highly leveraged to reduce the cost of high-concentration photovoltaic systems. We are recognized for the invention, development, and technology transfer of a range of key device architectures, most recently including the inverted metamorphic multijunction (IMM) solar cell. In this device architecture, a metamorphic solar cell uses a compositionally graded buffer to incorporate nearly perfect single-crystal layers with different crystal lattice parameters. With this architecture, we have demonstrated ~46% efficiency with a four-junction IMM cell. We are extending the concept to five- and six-junction IMM solar cell devices that have the potential to exceed 50% efficiency at high concentrations.
Schematic of in-line HVPE reactor with continual substrate reuse that eliminates metal-organic sources and uses cheap elemental metals.
We are developing methods to greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing III-V solar cells. We address the cost of epitaxial growth by developing low-cost hydride vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) growth, and the cost of the substrates by several substrate-reuse approaches. This work aims at single-junction cells with efficiencies >25% and tandems with efficiencies >30%, for one-sun and low-concentration applications.

We are developing high-efficiency III-V/silicon tandem solar cells by both epitaxial and stacking/bonding approaches. Our present work in epitaxial III-V/Si uses an approach based on selective-area growth enabled by patterning via nanoimprint lithography. In the stacking/bonding approach, we are developing a novel cell structure using transparent, conductive adhesives for cell stacking to enable inexpensive stacked tandem cells. By combining device modeling and cell fabrication, we will understand the impact of device geometry on energy yield.

InterSky (eigentlich InterSky Luftfahrt GmbH) war eine österreichische Regionalfluggesellschaft mit Sitz in Bregenz. Der operative Hauptsitz war in Friedrichshafen am Bodensee. Die Gesellschaft stellte den Flugbetrieb am 5. November 2015 ein und beantragte in der Folge ein Insolvenzverfahren.

Geschichte

Gründung und erste Jahre
InterSky wurde 2001 von der österreichischen Luftfahrtunternehmerin Renate Moser und ihrem Mann Rolf Seewald gegründet. Seewald hatte zuvor die Fluglinie Rheintalflug besessen, die für die Deutsche Lufthansa AG im so genannten Team Lufthansa Regionalflüge in Deutschland und Österreich durchführte. Kurz vor den Terroranschlägen vom 11. September 2001 verkauften sie die Fluglinie an die Austrian Airlines Group. Nach dem Verkauf der Rheintalflug besaßen Moser und Seewald noch zwei Maschinen, die Austrian Airlines nicht übernommen hatte. Wegen der Auswirkungen der Terroranschläge 2001 auf die Luftfahrtbranche konnte Moser nur eine der beiden Maschinen verkaufen. Um die verbliebene zu beschäftigen, gründete sie mit dem Erlös aus dem Verkauf der Rheintalflug am 5. November 2001 die InterSky Luftfahrtgesellschaft mit operativer Basis in Bern.

Zum Standort Bern war es gekommen, da der damalige Flughafendirektor Charles Riesen europaweit auf der Suche nach einer Fluggesellschaft war, die den brachliegenden Flughafen Bern-Belp neu beleben sollte. Der erste Flug der InterSky fand am 25. März 2002 statt. Zu Beginn flog sie zwischen der Schweizer Bundeshauptstadt und den Städten Berlin und Wien.

Unterstützt von der Eigentümerin Renate Moser verwarf der 2003 als Finanzchef ins Unternehmen eingetretene Claus Bernatzik, der zuvor bei Rheintalflug und Eurowings tätig war, nach großen Verlusten im Jahr 2002 die bisherige Strategie von InterSky. Nach dem Vorbild der englischen Flybe und unter dem Eindruck des in Europa aufgekommenen Low-Cost-Booms veränderte er das Geschäftsmodell radikal. Fortan gab es Verpflegung bei InterSky nur noch gegen Bezahlung und Flugtickets waren nur noch über die eigene Webseite im Internet erhältlich.
Innerhalb eines Jahres schrieb die Fluglinie schwarze Zahlen. Gemäß dem Anspruch von InterSky, nachhaltig zu wachsen, wurden Investitionen nur noch aus Überschüssen finanziert – für die Luftfahrtbranche eher unüblich.

Entwicklung 2004–2010
Von Beginn an bediente InterSky den Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof. Als bekannt wurde, dass der Flughafen Ende 2004 geschlossen würde, schloss sich Renate Moser mehreren Bürgerinitiativen zur Offenhaltung des Flughafens an. Gemeinsam mit anderen Airlines unterstützte sie einen Rechtsstreit, der dies schließlich bis Ende Oktober 2008 gewährleistete.
InterSky flog bis zum Schluss nach Tempelhof und führte am letzten Tag vor der Schließung mehrere Rundflüge durch, um sich zusammen mit den Mitarbeitern vom Flughafen zu verabschieden. Ein Flugzeug der InterSky war dann auch eine der letzten Maschinen, die in Tempelhof starten durften. Auf einem der letzten Tempelhof-Flüge verabschiedete sich der Pilot Viggo Bergers vor den Augen hunderter Schaulustiger mit dem in der Luftfahrt üblichen Wackeln mit den Tragflächen.

Im Jahr 2004 stationierte InterSky nach dem Weggang der Hahn Air Lines im deutschen Friedrichshafen eine Maschine, die in Bern nicht ausgelastet war. Vom ersten Tag an operierte man gewinnbringend, so dass die Fluglinie sich im Jahr 2005 dazu entschloss, sich ganz aus Bern zurückzuziehen und den gesamten Flugbetrieb nach Friedrichshafen zu verlagern. Zuletzt war InterSky die größte Fluglinie in Friedrichshafen. Im Jahr 2010 war sie, gemessen an den Flugbewegungen, die sechstgrößte Low-Fare-Fluglinie in Deutschland.

Im Oktober 2009 wurde der millionste Fluggast befördert. Im Jahr 2010 beförderte InterSky mit 250.000 Passagieren so viele wie nie zuvor in der Firmengeschichte.

Ab 2011
Im Mai 2011 vereinbarte InterSky eine Kooperation mit Air Berlin, die seitdem über ihre Website auch sämtliche ihrer Flüge vermarktete.

Im Juli 2011 geriet die Fluglinie in schwere finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, die eine Restrukturierung nötig machten. Claus Bernatzik gab seine Tätigkeit als Geschäftsführer auf, um sich voll und ganz um diese zu kümmern. Renate Moser wurde zur interimistischen Geschäftsführerin. Der kurz zuvor von ihr als zweiter Geschäftsführer ernannte Andreas Geldner legte daraufhin sein Amt nieder und wechselte zur Niki Luftfahrt GmbH. Gleichzeitig begannen Verhandlungen mit diversen Investoren. Nach gelungener Restrukturierung verließ Bernatzik im November 2011 InterSky. Letzter Geschäftsführer von InterSky war Roger Hohl.

Im Zuge der Neuaufstellung wurde im Jänner 2012 eine De Havilland DHC-8-300 (Kennzeichen OE-LIE) der InterSky an die Fluggesellschaft Maldivian mit Sitz auf den Malediven verkauft. Im ersten Halbjahr 2012 erzielte Intersky wieder einen Gewinn.

Ab Januar 2013 setzte InterSky eine neu erworbene ATR 72-600 im Liniendienst ein. Eine weitere ATR 72-600 wurde ab dem 9. April 2013 im Linienverkehr eingesetzt.

Im Januar 2014 gab Miteigentümer Hans-Rudolf Wöhrl bekannt, dass InterSky mittelfristig mit CityJet zu einer neuen Gesellschaft fusioniert werden sollte. CityJet war zuvor durch Wöhrls Beteiligungsgesellschaft Intro Aviation aufgekauft worden.

Am 16. September 2015 wurde bekannt, dass die Fluglinie vor dem Verkauf steht. Ebenfalls im September 2015 wurde InterSky vom Verkehrsministerium der sofortige Entzug der Betriebsgenehmigung (Air Operator Certificate) angedroht, sollte das Unternehmen nicht in der Lage sein, seine finanzielle Leistungsfähigkeit bis zum 3. November 2015 zweifelsfrei nachzuweisen.

Die vier über die Investmentgesellschaft Castlelake geleasten Maschinen (2 ATR 72-600 und 2 DHC-8-300) wurden am 5. November 2015 sichergestellt und nach Maastricht ausgeflogen, der Flugbetrieb wurde daraufhin eingestellt. Kurz zuvor waren die wochenlangen Übernahmegespräche mit der MDA Mitteldeutsche Aviation, die bereits 76 % an der Air Alps hielt, endgültig gescheitert. Diese hatte sich sowohl gegen eine Gesamtübernahme als auch gegen ein Sanierungsverfahren mit Eigenverwaltung ausgesprochen. Am 9. November 2015 wurde beim Landesgericht Feldkirch ein Antrag auf Insolvenz eingereicht, das am 12. November die Schließung des Unternehmens anordnete.

Eigentumsverhältnisse

Bis Februar 2012 befand sich die Fluglinie im Besitz der Familien Moser und Seewald (zu jeweils 50 %). Renate Moser war Geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin. Rolf Seewald und Renate Moser zogen sich im April 2007 aus dem Tagesgeschäft zurück und waren seitdem als Eigentümer im Beirat vertreten. Mosers Sohn Claus Bernatzik, der 2006 die Geschäftsführung der InterSky übernommen hatte, verließ das Unternehmen Ende 2011. Im Februar 2012 übernahmen Hans Rudolf Wöhrl und Peter Oncken (u. a. mit ihrer Beratungs- und Investmentfirma Intro Aviation GmbH) 74,9 % der Anteile bei InterSky. Renate Moser und Rolf Seewald hielten die restlichen 25,1 %.

Flugziele

InterSky verband den Flughafen Friedrichshafen bis zu dreimal täglich im Linienverkehr mit den Flughäfen Berlin-Tegel, Düsseldorf, Hamburg und Köln/Bonn. Außerdem wurden Graz und Salzburg mehrmals täglich mit Zürich verbunden.

In den Sommermonaten April bis Oktober wurden zusätzlich ab Friedrichshafen sowie teilweise auch ab München, Zürich, Memmingen und Altenrhein Urlaubsdestinationen am Mittelmeer wie Elba, Olbia (Sardinien), Calvi (Korsika), Mahon (Menorca), Split, Pula und Zadar angeflogen. 2015 gab es zudem Charterflüge von Memmingen nach Neapel.

Ab dem Sommerflugplan 2010 wurden von InterSky auch mehrere Umsteigeverbindungen über Friedrichshafen angeboten, beispielsweise von Berlin-Tegel via Friedrichshafen zu Zielen am Mittelmeer.

Bis März 2010 verkehrte InterSky als einzige Fluggesellschaft zwischen Köln/Bonn und Friedrichshafen, dann nahm auch die Billigfluggesellschaft Germanwings diese Strecke in ihr Angebot auf. InterSky stellte daraufhin diese Verbindung ein und flog stattdessen Düsseldorf an. Nach dem Rückzug von Germanwings wurde die Strecke Friedrichshafen–Köln/Bonn wieder ins Programm aufgenommen. Die Verbindung zum Flughafen Münster/Osnabrück wurde 2011 zu Gunsten einer stärkeren Frequenz nach Düsseldorf ebenfalls eingestellt. Die Verbindung nach Wien wurde ab Dezember 2011 von bis zu drei Flügen pro Tag auf einen Flug gekürzt, unter anderem wegen der starken Konkurrenz durch Austrian Airlines und People's Viennaline, die vom Flugplatz St. Gallen-Altenrhein auf der anderen Seite des Bodensees ebenfalls je bis zu dreimal täglich Wien anflogen. Zum Jahresende 2012 wurden die Flüge nach Wien schließlich eingestellt.

Ab dem 14. Jänner 2013 wurde von InterSky die Linie Graz–Zürich angeboten, die zuvor von Crossair und den inzwischen insolventen Fluglinien Styrian Spirit und Robin Hood Aviation bedient worden war. Am 2. April 2013 folgte die Linie Salzburg–Zürich, die nach Crossair und Styrian Spirit von Cirrus Airlines (2012 ebenfalls insolvent) betrieben worden war. Da ein Codesharing-Abkommen mit Swiss nicht zustande kam, war die Zukunft der Verbindungen nach Zürich nicht gesichert.

Ab dem 9. April 2013 bot InterSky zudem Linienflüge von ihrer neuen Basis am Standort Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden nach Hamburg an. Zum Einsatz kam eine von Avanti Air geleaste ATR 72-200, die die Route täglich bis zu dreimal bediente. Diese Linie wurde von der insolventen OLT Express übernommen. Die Flüge ab Karlsruhe wurden von InterSky eingestellt, nachdem Germanwings angekündigt hatte, diese Strecke zu übernehmen.

Im Juli und August 2014 flog InterSky von Erfurt/Weimar nach Olbia (Sardinien).

Ab März 2015 flog Intersky ab Memmingen auch nach Berlin und nach Hamburg. Memmingen war allerdings nur ein Zwischenhalt von und nach Friedrichshafen, eine Buchung der Verbindung Memmingen–Friedrichshafen war nicht möglich.

Ab dem 5. Oktober 2015 wurde ab Friedrichshafen via Memmingen wieder der Flughafen Köln/Bonn bedient.

Flotte

Flotte bei Betriebseinstellung
Die letzte Flotte vor Einstellung des Betriebs bestand aus fünf Flugzeugen:

Zuvor eingesetzte Flugzeuge
Im Jahr 2001 verfügte man einzig über eine De Havilland DHC-8-300, bis 2008 wurde die Flotte dann auf vier Flugzeuge dieses Typs aufgestockt. Im Jahr 2010 wurde eine ATR 42 als fünftes Flugzeug angemietet und später wieder abgegeben. Im Jahr 2012 wurden eine De Havilland DHC-8-300 verkauft und zwei neue ATR 72-600 bestellt. Um das starke Wachstum zu stemmen, wurden 2013 vorübergehend noch zwei Maschinen vom Typ ATR72-200 sowie EMB-120ER angemietet.

Basisdaten
Im Jahr 2010 beförderte InterSky mit über 250.000 Passagieren so viele wie nie zuvor.

Trivia
Am 26. November 2013 stellte InterSky auf dem Flug von Friedrichshafen nach Krasnodar mit einer Maschine des Typs ATR 72-600 und dem Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen OE-LID einen Weltrekord auf. Der entsprechende Flug war der weltweit längste kommerzielle Nonstop-Flug einer ATR72-600. Die Flugzeit betrug 5:23 Stunden bei einer Distanz von 2.493 km.

Am 23. Juli 2015 übertraf man seinen eigenen Rekordflug mit einem Flug von Belfast nach Tirana mit einer ATR 72-600. Die Flugzeit betrug 5 Stunden und 25 Minuten auf einer Strecke von 2.682 Kilometern. An Bord befand sich der albanische Fußballclub Skenderbeu Korca.

Tories call for business rates rise to be postponed
TORIES urged the Assembly Government yesterday to postpone a revaluation of business properties which could increase rates for companies from April.
The Valuation Office Agency overhauls rateable values of businesses in England and Wales every five years.
Research by the Welsh Conservatives revealed thousands of businesses, some in the most deprived communities, will be hit.
Conservative Assembly leader Nick Bourne said: "The Assembly Government should follow the lead of the Northern Ireland Executive and postpone the revaluation until April 2011."

Q: React Native Webview display Youtube embed url and control the video without iframe tag I'm writing a webview component that displays a Youtube embed url as well as be able to control the video using methods (stop, start, pause, ..). I tried to follow the official instruction, use a local html file that take a video id as parameter, instead of passing a direct url. Things are fine except that I can not inject javascript to apply css to iframe children. According to my search, it's likely because of the nature of the iframe tag.
Using a direct url <Webview source={{uri: ...}} /> instead of html <Webview source={{html: ...}} /> solves the above problem, but it makes another one. In order to create controlling methods, I need to access the "player" instance. This is how I get "player" with html:
const buildIFrame = (videoId: string) => `

        `;

export const buildHTML = (videoId: string) => `
<!DOCTYPE html>

    ${iFrameStyle}
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1">
    <title>Navigation Delegate Example</title>

  ${buildIFrame(videoId)}

`;

// Controlling methods
const pause = () => `player.pauseVideo();`
const play = () => `player.playVideo();`
const getDuration = () => `window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(JSON.stringify({eventType: 'getDuration', data: player.getDuration()}));`

It looks like there is no way to do as above when using a url. I want to know is there a way that I can display a Youtube embed video without using iframe tag, as well as be able to create controlling methods for the video.
Thank you in advance!

Very clean, had virtually everything we needed from towels, to pots and pans, seasoning, DVD, WiFi, Movies, sports TV , even high chair! Very close to Disney World, and other parks about 20 mintes from Orlando and close to tons of shopping. Owner was easy to work with, I needed to send some baby items ahead so I didn't have to carry them on the plane, I made arrangements with owner and the package was there when I walked in the door. Thank you for a lovely place to stay we will be back again.
Everything was beautiful, it was a blessing to have such a nice place to stay and a comfy bed to rest. Thank you for allowing us to share your home.
Everything was PERFECT! Could not have wanted anything better!
Very clean, cute, close to Disney,. they thought of everything , comfy bed. Literally was PERFECT! Highly recommended. Would have extended our stay if we were able to.
"Roomy and nicely furnished, quiet area yet close to attractions. Grocery and restaurants just minutes away. Love this property! Lots of extra touches to make your stay more comfortable. Games, DVD's. provided to keep kids happy. Free cable TV package had all the channels you could want, including BTN, This kept my sports fanatic husband very happy. Roku TV for easy access to Netflix and Amazon Channels. . Heated pool, hot tub. There were baby items such as pack n play, high chair, umbrella strollers. Kitchen is well supplied. Beds and furniture are all comfortable. We stayed for one month and would definitely stay here again. Reviewer from Ankeny, Iowa.
This place was absolutely awesome. The pictures don't do this place justice . It was clean, comfortable and truely felt like home. I loved the fact it was kid friendly and able to comfortably accommodate my large family of 10. The location was ideal, a decent distance from Disney, close to shopping, food, gas, etc. neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the property grounds were extremly clean. The only issue we had was we were given the wrong key code, but it was immediately resolved by calling the emergency phone number that we were provided. They told me they change the code frequently since the code is given out frequently which eased my mind knowing that other people can't get in while we were there . A house manual on the desk gave ample information about the home. This was truly a wonderful stay I would defiantly stay again and highly recommend.
