GRAV has announced one of its biggest to date since its "Reborn" update in November 2015, One Universe.
The One Universe update aims to unite GRAV players to make it easier to adventure with friends and discover new worlds. All servers will now be linked together, making it possible to explore the game's universe without server barriers.
The update also introduces many new planets, and removes planet rotation to make it easier to visit other planets without waiting for certain time periods. The game's chat system has also been expanded to reach across all planets and make custom chat channels. Resource mining has also been equalized and made faster.


The modern day therapeutic treatment Spa holds its roots back in prehistoric times with a belief when hot springs and mineral waters were used for healing, cleansing and for even for socialising. Some people who believe that spas are implied for superficial grooming will most likely to change their notion after discovering the significant health benefits in themselves. However, those who have understood its importance are experiencing a lot of health-promoting changes to revive themselves and with increasing number of such consumers accustomed to this affordable luxury, starting a spa business is an assurance to earn a seamless living.
An appropriate business plan will support a consistent growth for any start-up. It will also help investors to understand the reasons to invest in your business. A winning startup business plan created thoughtfully after a complete homework and effort will prepare you to compete and further improve your chances of success.
It is one of the most imperative decisions to choose the location which is easily approachable by wealthy and upscale residents living in that area. Apart from it, the location should have a good parking facility, easy accessibility, safe surroundings, cleanliness and pleasant ambience. These are some of the crucial features to bring in or drive potential clients away from your competitors.
Registering your business with the local council or any other rule involving the services offered by you if mandatory to beauty or cosmetic clinic must be known to you. To acquire various permits, license and training in an easy way, you can easily seek advice from a reputed spa consultancy firm in your area or you may hire well experienced spa consultants in India on permanent basis.
One of the most daunting tasks is to hire & retain an experienced and trained staff. Estimating the budget hiring of administrative assistant and the one who receives and greets your customers, cleaners should also be taken into consideration for implementation of ideas on a large scale.
Buying and maintaining a number of equipments for various facilities offered is required while setting up a spa business. These equipments are then placed in well planned specific layouts with a proper drainage and plumbing. Since most of the gadgets and equipment run on electricity a power back up and electrical engineer's accessibility is vital for a smooth running of your spa salon.
Having some prior experience of the health and wellness industry or a relevant qualification in beauty therapy helps you use your core skills and implement new ideas and insights to grow your business.
Laying the groundwork is critical yet you will require multiple strategies to attract customers from the competitors. All this can be attained through offering introducing discounts, sending out press releases, setting up an official website, planning a grand opening or using any such marketing plan within your budget. One can also opt for digital tools such as social media, networking and online tie-ups with big brands to accomplish their business targets.
Setting up a spa business requires a high investment in initial stage however only a well-equipped wellness centre can attract high profile clientele and at the end gaining a higher desirable profits.

Let's not beat around the bush: 3D TV is dead. It's sad news for those who are 3D fans, but it's time to face facts. No 3D TVs are being made. In fact, most manufacturers stopped making them in 2016.
The Avatar Effect
Before getting into the "why it all failed," it's important to know why it even started. It's something the "Avatar Effect".
Although 3D movie viewing goes back decades, the release of James Cameron's Avatar in 2009 was a game-changer. With its worldwide 3D success, movie studios not only started pumping out a steady stream of 3D movies into movie theaters but TV makers, beginning with Panasonic and LG, made 3D available for home viewing with the introduction of 3D TV. However, that was the beginning of several mistakes.
So, What Happened?
A lot of things came together to doom 3D TV before it really even started, which can be summed up by three factors:
Unfortunate Timing
Expensive and Incompatible Glasses
Let's take a look at these three and other issues that plagued 3D TVs from the start.
Lifewire / Theresa Chiechi
The Poorly Timed Introduction of 3D TV
The first mistake was the timing of its introduction. The U.S. had just gone through a major consumer buying disruption with the implementation of the 2009 DTV transition, in which all over-the-air TV broadcasting switched from analog to digital.
As a result, between 2007 and 2009 millions of consumers either purchased new HDTVs to meet the "new" broadcast requirements or analog-to-digital TV broadcast converters so that they could keep their older analog TVs working a little while longer. This meant that when 3D TV was introduced in 2010, most consumers were not ready to discard their just-purchased TVs, and reach into their wallets again, just to get 3D.
The Glasses
Bad timing was just the first mistake. To view the 3D effect on a TV you had to wear special glasses. And, get this, there were competing standards that determined which glasses you had to use.
Some TV makers (led by Panasonic and Samsung) adopted a system referred to as "active shutter". In this system, viewers had to wear glasses that used shutters that alternately opened and closed, synchronized with alternately displayed left and right eye images on the TV to create the 3D effect. However, other manufacturers (led by LG and Vizio) adopted a system referred to as "passive polarized", in which the TV displayed both the left and right images at the same time, and the required glasses used polarization to provide the 3D effect.
However, a major problem was that the glasses used with each system were not interchangeable. If you owned a 3D TV that required active glasses, you could not use passive glasses or vice versa. To make matters worse, even though you could use the same passive glasses with any 3D TV that used that system, with TVs that used the active shutter system, you couldn't necessarily use the same glasses with different brands. This meant that glasses for Panasonic 3D TVs might not work with a Samsung 3D TV as the sync requirements were different.
Another problem with 3D glasses was the cost. Although passive glasses were inexpensive, active shutter glasses were very expensive (sometimes as high as $100 a pair). For a family of 4 or more or if a family regularly hosted a movie night that cost was pretty high.
Extra Costs (You Needed More Than Just a 3D TV)
Uh-oh, more costs ahead! In addition to a 3D TV and correct glasses, to access a true 3D viewing experience, consumers needed to invest in a 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc player and/or buy or lease a new 3D-enabled cable/satellite box. Also, with internet streaming starting to take off, you needed to make sure that your new 3D TV was compatible with any internet services that offered 3D streaming.
In addition, for those that had a setup where video signals were routed through a home theater receiver, a new receiver would be required that was compatible with 3D video signals from any connected 3D Blu-ray Disc player, cable/satellite box, etc.
The 2D-to-3D Conversion Mess
Realizing that some consumers might not want to purchase all the other gear needed for a true 3D viewing experience, TV makers decided to include the capability of 3D TVs to perform real-time 2D-to-3D conversion – Big Mistake!
Although this allowed consumers to watch existing 2D content in 3D right out the box, the 3D viewing experience was poor – definitely inferior to viewing native 3D.
3D Is Dim
Another problem with 3D TV is that 3D images are much dimmer than 2D images. As a result, TV makers made the big mistake of not incorporating increased light output technologies into 3D TVs to compensate.
However, what is ironic, is that with the introduction of HDR technology in 2015, TVs began to be made with increased light output capability. This would have benefited the 3D viewing experience, but in a counter-intuitive move, TV makers decided to dump the 3D viewing option, focusing their efforts on implementing HDR and improving 4K resolution performance, without keeping 3D in the mix.
3D, Live TV, and Streaming
3D is very difficult to implement for live TV. In order to provide 3D TV programming, two channels are required, so that standard TV owners could still watch a program normally on one channel, in addition to those wanting to watch in 3D on another. This meant increased cost for broadcast networks to provide separate feeds to local stations, and for local stations to maintain two separate channels for transmission to viewers.
Although multiple channels are easier to execute on cable/satellite, many consumers were not interested in paying any extra required fees, so offerings were limited. After an initial number of 3D cable and satellite offerings, ESPN, DirecTV, and others dropped out.
However, Vudu, 3D Crave, and some other internet streaming content channels still provide some 3D content, but how long that will last is anyone's guess.
Problems at the Retail Sales Level
Another reason 3D failed was the poor retail sales experience.
At first there was a lot of sales hype and 3D demonstrations, but after the initial push, if you walked into a lot of retailers looking for a 3D TV, the sales people no longer provided well-informed presentations, and 3D glasses were often missing or, in the case of active shutter glasses, not charged or missing batteries.
The result was that consumers that may have been interested in buying a 3D TV would just walk out of the store, not knowing what was available, how it worked, how to best optimize a 3D TV for the best viewing experience, and what else they needed to enjoy the 3D experience at home.
Also, sometimes it was not communicated well that all 3D TVs can display images in standard 2D. In other words, you can use a 3D TV just like any other TV in cases where 3D content is not available if 2D viewing is desired or more appropriate.
Not Everyone Likes 3D
For a variety of reasons, not everyone likes 3D. If you are viewing with other family members or friends, and one of them doesn't want to watch 3D, they will just see two overlapping images on the screen.
Sharp offered glasses that could convert 3D back to 2D, but that required an optional purchase and, if one of the reasons that the person didn't want to watch 3D was because they didn't like wearing glasses, having to use a different type of glasses to watch 2D TV, while others are watching the same TV in 3D was a non-starter.
Watching 3D on a TV Is Not the Same as a Video Projector
Unlike going to the local cinema or using a home theater video projector and screen, the 3D viewing experience on a TV is not the same.
Although not everyone likes watching 3D regardless of whether it is at a movie theater or at home, consumers, in general, are more accepting of 3D as a movie-going experience. Also, in the home environment, watching 3D using a video projector (which are still available) and a large screen, provides a more acceptable cinematic experience for many. Viewing 3D on a TV, unless on a large screen or sitting close, is like viewing through a small window – the field of view is much more narrow, resulting in a less than desirable 3D experience
There Is No 4K 3D
Another setback was the decision not to include 3D into 4K standards, so, by the time the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc format was introduced in late 2015, there was no provision for implementing 3D on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs, and no indication from movie studios to support such a feature.
What the End of 3D TV Means Going Forward
In the short term, there are still millions of 3D TVs in use in the U.S. and around the world (3D TV is still big in China and to some extent in Europe), so movies and other content will still be released on 3D Blu-ray for the near future. In fact, even though 3D is not a part of the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc format, most players play 3D Blu-ray Discs.
If you have a 3D-enabled Blu-ray or Ultra HD Blu-ray disc player, and a 3D TV, you will still be able to play your current discs, as well as any forthcoming 3D Blu-ray disc releases. There are about 450 3D Blu-ray Disc movie titles available, with more in the short term pipeline. Most 3D Blu-ray Disc movies also come packaged with a standard 2D Blu-ray version – Check out some of our favorites.
Disney and Paramount are no longer marketing movies on 3D Blu-ray Disc in the U.S., but they are available in other select markets. This means that you may have to purchase them from international sources. If you do, make sure they are region code compatible with your player and that they have an English soundtrack or subtitles.
Looking at the long-term, 3D TV could make a comeback. The technology can be re-implemented at any time and modified for 4K, HDR, or other TV technologies, if TV makers, content providers, and TV broadcasters wish it to be so. Also, the development of glasses-free (no-glasses) 3D continues, with ever-improving results.
Would 3D TV have been successful if TV makers would have given more thought about timing, market demand, technical issues regarding product performance, and consumer communication? Perhaps, or perhaps not, but several major mistakes were made and it appears that 3D TV may have run its course.
In consumer electronics, things come and go, such as BETA, Laserdisc, and HD-DVD, CRT, Rear-Projection, and Plasma TVs, with Curved Screen TVs now showing signs of fading away. Also, the future of VR (Virtual Reality), which requires bulky headgear, is still not cemented. However, if vinyl records can make an unexpected big comeback, who is to say that 3D TV won't revive at some point?
In the "meantime", for those that own and like 3D products and content, keep everything working. For those that desire to purchase a 3D TV or 3D Video projector, buy one while you still can – you may still find some 3D TVs on clearance, and most home theater video projectors still provide the 3D viewing option.
Extra Bonus for 3D Fans
The Samsung 85-inch UN85JU7100 4K Ultra HD 3D-capable TV is a 2015 model that may still be available through a few retailers from any remaining inventory from a limited production run through 2017.
No Samsung 2016 (models with a K), 2017 (models with an M), or 2018 (models with an N) at this point is 3D capable. Whatever 2015 model supply (signified by a J) is in the pipeline is what is left, unless Samsung announces otherwise. If you have room for an 85-inch TV, and you are a 3D fan, the Samsung UN85JU7100 may be a limited-time opportunity.
Another remaining option is the 65-inch Sony XBR65Z9D 4K Ultra HD TV with a 3D viewing option which is a 2016 model that is also still available on a limited basis.

Ask the CS:GO pros: What's your favorite Major memory?
The Majors provide perhaps the most magical moments in professional Counter-Strike. Whether it's teams breaking through to win after years of struggle, like Astralis did last month in Atlanta, or the craziness of an individual play or match, it seems everyone has a favorite.
By Vince Nairn
Ask the CS:GO pros: Who's the hardest player to play against?
Fans and analysts all have their ideas about who the best Counter-Strike player in the world is, but who do the pros themselves find difficult to defeat?
RUBINO: "We have lost four of six pistol rounds, I think, so it's ridiculous."
Slingshot's Vince Nairn caught up with North's Ruben "RUBINO" Villareal after their win against G2 on Wednesday to improve to 2-2 and stay alive at the ELEAGUE Major.


A Very Rare Single Dial Wheel Barometer With Integral Thermometer.
The 10″ diameter silvered brass scale calibrated from 28″ to 31″ and engraved with weather indications, the makers name and place of work and a rare integral thermometer scale calibrated from 10 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The dial enclosed within a concave cast brass bezel with original convex glass. The dial also with a blued steel Indicator hand and a brass Set hand controlled by turning the small brass knob just below the dial.
The exceptional mahogany case of excellent colour and featuring flame veneers and ebony and boxwood edge inlay.
Note: L. Malacrida is recorded as working at 237 Holborn, London between 1810-30. This barometer is not only displaying just one dial which is exceedingly rare on a wheel barometer but the main dial also incorporates a thermometer scale. Both of these features and the high quality veneer used throughout the front elevation of the cabinet work make this barometer a very rare item.

Show us the Reports or Resign
Submitted by Nathan 'Jolly' Green
Is this a matter of PM Gonsalves failing to do what he said he would, or is it something darker than that? I hate even to ask that question, but someone must, due to the five-year time laps in providing us with an answer.
This is a five-year-old unsettled matter. No investigation takes that long without someone saying something.
I for one am fed up with asking about the HSBC account which Ralph Gonsalves told us was false and fraudulent, and Interpol, SVG Police, Colin Williams DPP, was instructed and requested by him to investigate.
Did any such investigations ever take place because I find it hard to believe that not one of those selected to investigate has reported a thing that has been submitted? No presentation to the people, not a thing, nothing, nada? Not even a word of "it's coming,"
but it's too late for that now.
Ralph Gonsales
Can Ralph Gonsalves prove that any such investigation ever took place, or was this an untruth to tell the people what he wanted them to hear?
There was so much published about HSBC Swiss bank accounts, so many denials, no apparent action, and no evident results.
Comrade, it is time to get off the toilet and answer the questions, show us the evidence, show us the reports, or resign.

How unkind Sir and he is your cousin, tut-tut, how about happy families.
It is time for answers, so I have sent this letter to the US Department of State as a matter of interest. I have also sent it to Interpol enquiring if they were asked to report. Not Interpol SVG, sorry I cannot put my trust in getting a truthful answer.
I am not saying or implying Dr Ralph E Gonsalves Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has done anything wrong, but he told the Vincentian public he had an enquiry in place to prove that the HSBC bank statement in his name is false and fraudulent. He has never presented such a report of any enquiry to the people, this is now a five-year-old matter, people have been sued for repeating on radio this matter. Yet the promised evidence has never been forthcoming people are beginning to believe it may all be true, that comrade is your own fault, I am only the messenger.
When political leaders make big mistakes or are caught telling lies about important things they should resign. What makes a political leader resign or not resign has something to do with having honour or not! Those who have honour always choose the honourable way: Resignation!"
So, Dr Ralph Everard Gonsalves, Prime Minister of the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines we call on you to render up a relevant report or resign. It is a relatively simple choice.
The eyes of history are watching, by this controversial matter being published ensures its mention in Vincentian annuls of history.

This is like Mottley and the qualifications being shown to Parliament. Never happen to this day.


Unmighty is an old English word meaning "weak, not mighty". I prefer to think of it however as meaning that the little things in life can be important. With this in mind I have decided to record some of the experiences me, my family and occasionally my friends have encountered along the way, highlighting how the little things sometimes take on the most importance.
Not serious, but hopefully real.


So for the last few posts, I focused on historic Legal Divas of Color…now it's time to talk about TODAY'S Legal Divas, still breaking boundaries!
Kamala Harris is the current Attorney General for the State of California. She is the FIRST woman of color to hold this position. Born October 20, 1964, she has packed a great deal of accomplishments into her time on Earth thus far. Her mother is a doctor from India; her father is a Jamaican American economics professor at Stanford University. A California girl through and through, she was born and raised in Oakland, spending some time in Montreal, Canada. Ms. Harris completed her undergraduate studies at Howard University, and received her juris doctor from University of California, Hastings School of Law.
In her professional life, she served as the Deputy District Attorney for Alameda County, CA, then became the Managing Attorney for the Career Criminal Unit of the San Francisco DA's Office. After a short management stint at the San Francisco City Attorney's Office, she was elected to be the District Attorney of San Francisco! Ms. Harris held that post for 7 years and two elections, until she was elected to the position of Attorney General in 2010. The Los Angeles Daily Journal ranked her as one of the top 100 attorneys in California.
One of the aspects that struck me about Ms. Harris is her anti-death penalty stance. As the head prosecutor, she has received pressure to seek the death penalty on the criminal cases of several different defendants charged with murder. She made it very clear that although she was against the death penalty in general, she would review each case individually. After review, she had opted to seek the penalty life without parole instead of death, mostly because she believes it is a more cost-effective and better punishment option. She did not bow to pressure, but chose to do what she believed was right.
In between all of this, she authored a book entitled "Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer". Ms. Harris was at the forefront in implementing community programs to address crime and work with the community to reduce recidivism.
Kamala Harris, I thank you for being an ORIGINAL Legal Diva, and being a great role model for me!


Continuing a wonderfully eclectic series of selections by label heads of repute, Kristoffer Rom of Denmark's Tambourhinoceros picks a tremendous list of favourites from 2018.
This follows on the heels of selections from Bella Union, Slumberland, Cascine, Memorials of Distinction & Geographie.
Two of the most interesting singer songwriters around. And a song with both quality and characteristics that reminds me of one of my all time favourite songs Scott Walkers "Old Man's Back Again".
2018 has been Mitski's year! And this song alone is enough to justify it in my opinion.
The album (Aviary) is still relatively new to me but I have a feeling it can grow into a record that'll stick with me for years. And this song is one I'm especially fond of.
Something to be absorbed by at 5am in the morning which we all need from time to time.
Who doesn't enjoy vocoder, steel drums and xylophones? Also, Spencer Krug is really one of my favourite singers.
His soulful vocals blow me away every time I put this on. Also, despite being highly manipulated the production feels very intimate.
Listening to this record is a very intense experience. And what a way to finish off a record. Nothing should stand in her way.
I completely missed this when it was released but when I stumbled across it just a few weeks ago I was completely captivated by how atmospheric and haunting her voice and music are.
There's no abiding to genre conventions here. It's one of those records that continue to unveil new stuff for every repeat listen.
This is much more than a hard-hitting fast-paced guitar rock; his voice is so intense and the songwriting is about as good as it gets.


I'm the Managing Director of MassMedia Studios, a full service digital agency delivering informed creative for clients that need to get true cut through and penetration in an integrated way, across a range of mediums. Practically speaking it sees me balancing both the management of the different business functions, with supporting our key clients to ensure we help them achieve their goals.
We have two main outputs, digital marketing campaigns and digital development. A campaign can be a short burst execution running only over a week from brief to the review of post launch metrics. It could also be a long running Relationship Marketing program spanning years. On the development side we build for mobile and desktop environments and these projects generally range from one to three months. MassMedia's point of difference however is our ability to orchestrate even the most complex, longer-phased campaigns. We like the variety – it keeps it fresh for the team and builds our skill base across channels.
Initially I studied computer engineering at Uni and then moved on to design as I was craving something more creative. Then the Mosaic browser became available and Netscape and I saw the potential that this had. I remember submitting an advertising design project as a GIF banner ad when everyone else submitted a DL brochure. I had to explain what it was. A couple of years later and I was invited back to lecture and write courses for the University. Since then I have keenly pushed the digital transition and have enjoyed stretching the imaginations of the team to challenge what can be done and more importantly how that translates into better business.
I read a range of things and fall in and out of favour with differing publications. Currently I'm enjoying, http://www.fastcodesign.com/, http://www.technologyreview.com/, and doses from local digital news blogs. For books, the most interesting I've read recently was "Business Model Generation" by Alex Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur. It's great for anyone pulling together a startup or looking at their structure. It has digital tools which support it as well.
Roughly 1:2, we are a process driven business and our Project Managers (producers in our camp) actually execute most of the planning, documentation and testing as well as the base project management tasks. This keeps us on time and budget and frees the technical and creative teams to produce more inspiring work.
We have 30 full timers currently. We also have a rolling team of freelancers depending on demand. Most of our staff are based in our Sydney office but we have a presence in Melbourne, Brisbane and London. We actively reduced our overall staff numbers last year when we separated out Traction, our platform business, as a standalone entity. It's going gangbusters and the timing was right.
As the local market is maturing and brands are more comfortable with digital lead executions we are completing more formal strategy and planning work. We've taken on a full time Digital Strategist to accommodate this demand and it's a great addition. It's given us more momentum and reinforced what we are known for, reliable, data smart, creative work.
You can't build good projects without good planning. We have a PRINCE2 derived process flow and keep a constant eye on the progress of each job. Setting realistic expectations is critically important in fostering trust. We are honest and in that sense, we've built up a lot of credibility and loyalty which is shown in the tenure of a number of our clients. It's about making sure you follow strong project processes to ensure everyone stays on track and knows what the goals are and delivers.
We manage our time and cost in a custom built system, it's been built up over the last eight years and every time I look around at other systems, none seem to fit our processes as nicely. If I was starting again though I'd be looking to Briefcase, Streamtime and Work[etc] which are on my current review list.
The key thing here is play nice and be consistent. Thankfully we are blessed with some great clients. It's nice to put the effort in and have it appreciated. It's not always the case though and sometimes a client and your team are not compatible. If you keep cool, be nice and be consistent then at a minimum the relationship will remain professional. Often the "bad" client is someone who is struggling with pressures on their side. So we look to see if we can help, either through supporting their personal needs or sharing our knowledge with them to reduce the fear of the unknown.
Ultimately though, if you can't work well together it is better to gracefully exit, professionally handover and look for a better relationship elsewhere.
Fitting new technologies into old business patterns. With the growth of channels and rising complexity of communication interfaces, our clients are consistently looking for new ways to reach old goals, for example, purchase frequency and recency lift. This means consistently revising our ways of working and keeping them efficient and effective. While this is challenging, it is also the fun bit!
Across all roles we look for an inquisitive attitude and an ability to actively solve problems. In this industry if you can't problem solve and you are not naturally curious you will struggle.
We update the whole team on targets and achievements on a monthly basis and most Friday nights we have internal presentations on topics of interest. This is great for idea creation and knowledge sharing and a great way to end the week together. We have regular social events which are always popular and ensure we collectively eat cake, drink ale or have a laugh together as often as possible.

Hooray for Holyrood!
September 18, 2014 British Film, Classic Films, Comedy, Cult Movies, DirectorsBill Forsyth, Comfort & Joy, Culloden, Death Watch, Gregory's Girl, Highlander, Hitchcock, I Know Where I'm Going, powell & pressburger, Scotland, Shallow Grave, The 39 StepsMostlyFilm
As Scots go to the polls, the MostlyFilm crew bring you their favourite examples of Scotland on film.
The great day has finally arrived! Scotland decides whether to stay with the UK or pursue an independent path. We at MostlyFilm are a pluralistic lot; we include Yessers, Better Togetherers and neutrals. What we do agree on is that Scotland is a grand place, and will remain so, whatever the result of today's vote. While we wait, here are some reflections on our favourite Scottish (and Scottish-set) films.
Highlander – Ricky Young
"Hello! You must be a Scotchman! I *too* am a Scotchman! Let us be gaily Scotch together!"
It's not as if you haven't seen Highlander. If every VHS copy of it was laid end-to-end, it's quite possible it could surround about three fifths of Alex Salmond's ego. It was a MASSIVE direct-to-video hit, and delightfully, has fuck-all to do with Scotland.
Yes, it contains some things that could pass for Scottish if pressed. Kilts. Bagpipes. Sitting round a fire having peat for dinner. Sean Connery. Getting punched in the face by James Cosmo – a rite of passage for every Scotchman, that, I'll grant you. But with a few set changes and three, maybe four lines of dialogue altered, it could be called Chinaman. Or Uzbekistani. Or, ideally, A Welsh. Once our hero Connor McLeod is banished from the collection of huts he calls a home, the film descends into a bunch of people in New York who could just as well be aliens, fighting each other to try and stop being gods. And, as it turns out, the sequel tells us they actually are all aliens, so none of this film matters at all!
(Highlander nerds – a category that actually exists, as the film spun off into a number of crazy directions over the years – are probably hoisting themselves up to have a few choice words at this point, but let's face it, I can outrun every one of them.)
That's not to say it's not still great – it's fast, and flashy, and every five minutes there's a bit you'll remember really liking from the zillion times you watched it as a kid. But Wiki deliciously informs us that the echo in Connery's opening voice-over is only there because he recorded it in the cludgie at his Spanish villa. That's how Scotch Highlander is, in one delicious little anecdote. I'd give you another, but there can – of course – be only one.
The 39 Steps (1935) – Viv Wilby
The 39 Steps is, arguably, the first of Alfred Hitchcock's films in which all of the director's signature tropes come together in the same place. There's the innocent man on the run, at once suave and resourceful; a cool blonde who can't be trusted; an action sequence on a piece of iconic infrastructure (in this case the Forth Bridge); a bit of flashiness (that jump cut – a woman's scream merges with the screeching whistle of the Flying Scotsman); and of course the MacGuffin, the little device of no intrinsic importance that sets the plot's motor running.
Based loosely on John Buchan's 1915 thriller, it tracks hero Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) from his home in London across the Scottish moors as he attempts to elude a shadowy spy ring, clear his name and expose their dastardly scheme.
Real Scotland only appears via a few second-unit shots of the Forth Bridge and the area around Glencoe, but Hitchcock makes effective use of the stature and scale of these symbols of the nation's industrial and highland heritage. Scotland is a monumental place, intimidating and wild, with Hannay often reduced to a tiny figure, shinnying across the bridge or running through a glen. It's as much a foe to be outwitted as the 39 Steps themselves.
But while the Scottish landscape may be harsh, its people are not. One of the film's best scenes sees a tired and lost Hannay take shelter with a crofter and his young wife (played by John Laurie and Peggy Ashcroft in a pair of terrific cameos). He's dour and suspicious, she's drawn to the charismatic stranger and offers him sympathy and help. Laurie's crofter is an unfortunate national stereotype – mean and flinty and Presbyterian – but Ashcroft, as Margaret from Glasgow, dreaming of the lights of Sauchiehall Street and giving Hannay her husband's Sunday coat, knowing how he will punish her, provides one of the film's gracenotes.
Gregory's Girl – Kate le Vann
After we got our Betamax I didn't spend another day of my childhood outside. My big brother decided what we watched and there were films we saw hundreds of times. Some of them I liked (Smokey and the Bandit), some I hated (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly), some I liked and hated (Tommy). I loved only one: Gregory's Girl.
Well, now I'm the big brother and I can't wait to make my daughters watch it. They'll love it too, from the nurse's brassiere, through Mr Menzies's gentle strangeness, all the way to Susan's beret. It's not a feminist film: it's about boys and the female characters are barely sketched out. The other male teachers are super dodgy. But there's a really good football player who's a girl. The Dorothy/Carol/Margo/Susan switcheroo teases the girls, but the line that runs through it: "It's just the way girls work. They help each other" is hard to find today, when films mostly agree that girls will be rivals and some will be mean. And there's this: Gregory and his friends are not bad boys, nice guys and geeks. Not commitment-phobic or laddish. They're sensitive and sincere, with somewhat sophisticated, ironic patter. It hadn't occurred to me at that point, despite having an older brother, that boys might be like normal people.
We're a bit Scottish, me and my brother – my mum was born in Glasgow and both my grannies fed us Broons annuals and Edinburgh rock and passed down words that got us laughed at at school. At the time, the telly said being Scottish was Russ Abbott. Bill Forsyth's films said otherwise, with their forceful mildness and hints of Italian exoticism, all of it quiet and clever. This made sense to us and the way we saw ourselves, as we waited for Gregory's Girl to rewind so we could put Smokey and the Bandit on again.
I Know Where I'm Going! – Phil Concannon
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger are justly celebrated for the extraordinary run of Technicolor marvels that they produced in the 1940s, but amid these fantastic works there are some pictures of equal brilliance that frequently get overlooked. While waiting for access to the colour cameras required for A Matter of Life and Death, The Archers headed north to shoot I Know Where I'm Going!, a deceptively straightforward romantic comedy that fizzes with just as much imagination and wit as their more acclaimed works.
In his magnificent autobiography A Life in Movies, Michael Powell says, "The Scots have a way of winning your heart", and his affection for the land and its people is evident throughout. After a frantic opening section, I Know Where I'm Going! slows down when its headstrong protagonist Joan (Wendy Hiller) arrives in Scotland, where she intends to marry an elderly industrialist but finds herself stranded on a small island in harsh weather. This unexpected detour gives her time to fall in love with a completely different way of life, and with a charming naval officer (Roger Livesey); in fact, it often seems that the elements are conspiring to push these two people into each other's arms.
As a film about Scotland, I Know Where I'm Going! is a bit of a cheat. After shooting some sequences on location, the team returned to London where the great production designer Alfred Junge recreated the island setting on a soundstage (in fact Roger Livesey, contracted to a play in London, never left the capital). Nonetheless, Powell's vision of the country is irresistible, suffused with romance and mysticism, and it forms a great double-bill with the previous year's A Canterbury Tale – both dazzling expressions of the director's lifelong fascination with the poetic qualities of Britain's landscape.
Shallow Grave – MrMoth
It might not look like it at first glance, but Shallow Grave is one of the most Scottish films of the 1990s. OK, so the director is English and one of the leads is an Englishman doing a Scottish accent. But it was written by a Scot, and it features Ken Stott and Peter Mullan, winner and runner up of the coveted "Most Scottish Man In Film" award at the 1996 Scotties. It's set in Edinburgh but conspicuously filmed in Glasgow, meaning you get two Scottish cities for one. It has Ewan MacGregor in a tartan suit, dancing a reel (possibly at a Hogmanay party) then getting headbutted by DC Fraser from Taggart in a kilt. It could only be more Scottish if someone died of a heroin overdose, which oh they do.
It's also brilliant, almost in an incidental way, much better than Trainspotting if you ask me. John Hodge's debut screenplay is bursting with that snappy dialogue of the early 90s we like to call "Tarantinoesque" even if it's nothing like Tarantino. The plot starts from a simple, staple premise (how far would you go for a suitcase full of money?) and winds fatalistically through its shocks and betrayals to what is almost a happy ending, if you're kind of a dick.
Danny Boyle's direction is all flash and borrowed influences, primarily Scorsese, but it works a treat – the gorgeous high-ceilinged flat filled with lush, rich colours that the lead characters live in is not only invaded by the cold harshness of the petty thugs after that same money, it's also haunted by the increasingly dangerous inhabitant of the darkness above them. A brutal reality presses in hard on this unnaturally cosy bubble.
Culloden – Richard J
The site of the battlefield of Culloden itself is suprisingly tiny for such an ostensibly significant event, barely about two football fields side-by-side. The last squalid act of a disastrous failure, led by a man utterly undeserving of the trust put in him, used as a French ploy in a deservedly-forgotten cabinet war of the 18th century.
Somehow, in the years that passed, as the popularity of the Jacobites faded, this butchery in a swampy moor had become encrusted with romantic myths.
It is in this light, that even today, after forty years, the starkness of Peter Watkins' Culloden still stands out to the modern viewer. Some aspects of the approach have dated; the RP of the unseen narrator, and some of the more stagey amateur performances, but it is the images that stick; the absolutely sodden boy and his father standing staring, waiting for the charge, his misery not entirely feigned; the use of closeup to capture the starkly lit faces (and incidentally disguise the tiny number of extras), all underpinned by the sympathy for the ordinary men and women caught up in the affairs of their betters.
It's clearly a work of the early 60s, when even before Vietnam, memories of Malaya and Algeria would have been fresh in its audience's mind. The character who sticks most in the mind is the casually brutal red coat, free of moral concerns, unwilling to think about anything other than the next day's survival, and taking his pleasures where he can; for tomorrow he may die.
Culloden refuses to take any side between the Highlanders and the red coats; its clear contempt is for the men who led, brutalised, and later abandoned both sides. Again, this can come across as crude at times, but looking at the rest of Watkins' work, it is sincerely felt, and the rage carries one past the more, shall we say, agitprop moments.
Easy to track down on Youtube, well worth the hour or so of time it takes to watch.
Death Watch – BlakeBacklash
'Don't go. You'll be mugged. Your equipment will be stolen.' This is the advice a shocked David Puttnam gave to Bertrand Tavernier when the director told him he wanted to film Death Watch in Glasgow. Tavernier was not to be dissuaded. The film was set in the near future but Tavernier has said he wanted to film somewhere that evoked 'the beauty of the past' and 'the memory of the working class'. Glasgow offered him smoke-blackened sandstone tenements, 19th century architecture, silhouettes of cranes against pewter and silver skies.
But I should not to be too romantic. Tavernier also used Glasgow in the 70s to puncture his future with spaces that are decaying or neglected. His characters walk across forlorn patches of waste ground and past soggy, neglected football pitches.
This is, after all, a film about the way things end. Katherine Mortenhoe (Romy Schneider) agrees to have her death filmed for television, then rebels and flees. But she doesn't know that Roddy (Harvey Keitel), her companion on this journey, is filming her with a camera implanted in his eye. Tavernier's use of steadicam to follow Katherine and Roddy on their journey immerses us in this run-down world. His long takes are mostly unshowy but he does allow himself this bravura couple of minutes, which anticipates how Alfonso Cuarón would approach similar material in Children of Men.
When I saw the film at the Glasgow Film Festival two years ago, I was struck by how it worked as both a document of a city that isn't quite there anymore and an evocation of a place that may never exist. There is, though, one moment that shatters the illusion that this is anywhere but Glasgow in the 1970s. Listen-up as Keitel is walking past a group of kids playing on some swings and you can hear one of them ask 'Hey mister! Can ma dug be in your film?' I guess that line got left in because Tavernier couldn't catch the accent. Or maybe that kid knew Keitel had a camera in his eye.
Comfort & Joy – Matthew Turner
Glaswegian writer-director Bill Forsyth is best known for Gregory's Girl and Local Hero, but I have a lot of affection for his warm-hearted 1984 comedy Comfort & Joy, which delivers both elements of its title in equal measure.
Bill Paterson gives one of his best performances as Glasgow DJ Alan "Dicky" Bird, who plunges into depression when he's dumped by his gorgeous kleptomaniac girlfriend (Eleanor David). After catching the eye of an attractive woman (Claire Grogan) in an ice cream van, Bird gets drawn into negotiating a peace treaty between two warring ice cream vendors: established Italian ice-cream patriarch "Mr McCool" (Roberto Bernardi) and former fish-and-chip man turned ice-cream-interloper "Mr Bunny" (as Alex Norton's Trevor menacingly points out: "Formerly Mr Softy; no more").
Forsyth drew on the real-life Glasgow Ice Cream Wars for inspiration and he has a lot of fun with light-hearted Godfather riffs throughout, particularly in conjunction with Mark Knopfler's inspired score; he also has a great feel for characters and a wonderful ear for dialogue that makes this a joy to listen to. Highlights include a cleverly worked in "find the right flavour for your life" metaphor and a number of hilarious running gags, such as the constant damage to Dicky's beloved BMW ("Have you ever tried to get ice cream out of velour upholstery?") or the fact that Dicky's station manager (Rikki Fulton) thinks he's cracking up when he starts broadcasting coded messages on his radio show ("Does this Mr Bunny talk to you a lot?").
Side note: the film also contains Patrick Malahide's least sinister performance, as Bird's best friend, surgeon and family man Colin. Basically, I defy anyone to come out of this film without a) a huge smile on their face and b) a craving for a "FrostyHot".

Engaging the social and political in designing technologies
Nitin Sawhney explores the role of human-centered research and design, beyond the traditional boundaries of computer science, in transforming civic action.
Despite joining Aalto University in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor of Practice Nitin Sawhney feels very connected to the Aalto community. Photo: Matti Ahlgren / Aalto University
Professor of Practice Nitin Sawhney joined Aalto University in extraordinary times, as he arrived to Helsinki from New York with his partner in the midst of an emerging global pandemic. As countries began closing their borders and Aalto University shifted to remote work and teaching, Sawhney hardly had time to ponder how this crisis would impact their relocation to the Nordics.
Despite the exceptional start at Aalto, he seems grateful. 'On every level, we have been so fortunate in this situation, and I can't say enough about how well the Finnish system has functioned for us,' Sawhney says. As an academic researcher Sawhney's residence permit was approved by Finnish migration services in less than 10 days, which normally takes far longer. Having visited Helsinki several times previously, Sawhney had an opportunity to get to know many of his faculty colleagues at Aalto.
This made the inevitable, physically-distanced interactions with colleagues over Zoom this spring far less awkward for Sawhney. 'I already feel very connected to the Aalto community and I know there will be many more opportunities to continue building this network now that I'm here,' he adds.
Computer science combined with media and arts
Crisis has been a part of Sawhney's life even as a child when his family was forced to leave Tehran, Iran in the midst of a revolution in the late 1970s to move back to New Delhi, India, where he was born. Returning to live in the Middle East and across the U.S. for most of his life clearly shaped Sawhney's worldview. 'When you're around and grow up in these places, you recognize the world is a complicated place and that technology has a crucial role, but we need to take many social and political aspects into account.'
The world is a complicated place and technology has a crucial role, but we need to take many social and political aspects into account
Nitin Sawhney
Sawhney trained in computer science and engineering but has gained experience in media, documentary film, design, arts, and activism through his varied life experiences. He completed his doctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2003, while conducting research at the MIT Media Lab in speech interaction, wearable computing, and distributed design collaboration.
After finishing his PhD, Sawhney co-founded Akaza Research, a software startup to develop open source platforms for clinical data repositories. He later led new product development for Cytel Inc., on statistical simulation tools to support adaptive clinical trials. 'Working in industry I tried to promote open access principles, interoperability standards and novel business models to support partnerships for public biomedical research, but the pace of such innovations and practices can take a very long time to be adopted,' he says.
The transdisciplinary ethos and international orientation made Aalto an attractive option
Sawhney has since collaborated with many artists, activists and social scientists which greatly challenged his perspective. 'I realized that my own sensibility has been transformed by engaging with seemingly intractable problems in society in somewhat unexpected ways. Arts, design, humanities, and political activism can be integral to how we as computer scientists make sense of and act in the world,' he adds.
This is what led Sawhney to take up a faculty position at The New School in New York in 2011 and collaborate with colleagues across disciplines in social science research and at the Parsons School of Design. Whether conducting research around social movements like Occupy Wall Street, tactical urban design in Moscow or devising participatory civic media projects with marginalized youth in Palestinian refugee camps, Sawhney engaged the design of collaborative digital platforms with participatory action research among communities in crisis or contested spaces.
The transdisciplinary ethos and an international orientation are also what drew Sawhney to join Aalto University. He found Aalto attractive because it's an environment where science, engineering, arts and design, are more easily infused in people's work. 'I want to explore things that the Nordics have done well, particularly in terms of participatory design, social equity and sustainability. Obviously, Finland has also been an important research and technology hub since the days of Nokia.'
I want to explore things that the Nordics have done well
Sawhney also had a more personal link to Aalto. While at MIT, he advised the PhD thesis of Teemu Leinonen who is now an Associate Professor of New Media Design and Learning at Aalto. 'We kept in touch over the years. When I was thinking about Aalto, Teemu was very encouraging; he invited me to stay at his home and was able to connect me with the Aalto community informally. That made me feel comfortable at Aalto right away.'
Researchers should collectively seek solutions for the biggest crises for the globe
In the computer science context, while Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) remains his core research area, Sawhney plans to expand his prior work in participatory design with children, multi-modal voice-based interaction, and cooperative Human-AI systems in crisis response.
Sawhney says he hopes to push himself and his students to consider how we can contribute to collectively understanding and designing for seemingly intractable problems. 'I feel like climate change, besides this pandemic, is one of the biggest crises for the globe and our future, and if we are not finding a way to collectively address this crisis, I don't know how we are going to be valuable.'
This summer Sawhney plans to already begin teaching online at Aalto, including a special topics course on 'Human-Centred Research and Design in Crisis.' He hopes that students will develop a deeper understanding of how to conduct research and design for technological innovations in complex crisis contexts, while examining their ethical implications, including with the current COVID-19 pandemic. 'The course will offer students opportunities to engage industry and organizational partners in the city and elsewhere, but also help us as a faculty to develop socially engaged curricula that we can expand in future courses.'
Sawhney says he has settled in well in Helsinki, but will surely miss his life in Brooklyn, New York. 'We lived right by Prospect Park, which is almost like the Central Park of Brooklyn. I would go running in the park almost every day and I was very involved in the community.'
He speaks highly of the vibrant social and cultural atmosphere of Brooklyn, its diverse people, arts exhibitions, community gardens, and activism. 'I imagine these things are also present in Helsinki, so I'm very much looking forward to finding those kinds of eclectic arts spaces, participatory communities, and critical engagement here too.'
He hopes that he and his partner will keep their connections in New York alive, and bring some aspects of New York to Helsinki and Aalto. 'Some of the case studies I might share in my courses and guest speakers I invite, would inevitably highlight experiences of the critical struggles and creative responses among the many crises New York City has confronted.'

Education: PhD in Media Arts and Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Lives in Helsinki
Was born in New Delhi, India, but feels at home also in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Brooklyn, New York
Greatest professional accomplishment: Running a startup company and transforming his dissertation research into a practical context, creating significant public impact. 'It was a key moment for me to leave academia, create a high-risk startup, build a team, and develop open source software platforms with a viable business model to sustain it. The lessons from this experience have shaped how I manage research projects and industry partnerships.'
Greatest non-professional achievement: Establishing Voices Beyond Walls, a program for participatory media, youth training, and community-based research in Palestinian refugee camps. 'It was probably the hardest thing I've done in a non-academic context; each summer for five or six years I led a team of artists, educators and social workers to develop the programs and evaluated their impact. It helped me develop a socially-engaged pedagogical practice.'
Has also
Taken a one-month expedition in the Himalayas. 'I hiked and camped with artists, scholars and writers on a historic pilgrimage route from Nepal to Tibet. It was a very transformative moment to explore this world and the role of sacred in people's lives. Along the way, I recorded the sounds of the landscapes and monks chanting. After the trip, I devised an art installation with a soundscape where people could walk on Himalayan salt.'
Made a documentary film with children in Gaza. 'While working in Gaza, I decided to make a film on the role of kite making and flying on the lives of children. Not having a production crew, I trained a group children on filmmaking and we made the film together. It became such a joyful project, as they captured the lives of other kids in such humorous and authentic ways; all this is reflected in the film, Flying Paper, which has been widely seen.'
Been constantly confused with his namesake, musician Nitin Sawhney. 'He became very popular in the nineties, and I would mistakenly receive his fan mail all the time. But one day he emailed me out of the blue to tell me about his experience. For a concert he was performing with Sting in France, the publicity posters accidently used the wrong person's image. I never received a copy of that poster with me and Sting! But my namesake kept in touch with me and after I finished my documentary in Gaza, he produced the soundtrack for it. When the film premiered in London, audiences were even more confused with the credits.'

PASADENA – In 2011, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan's coastal region. Last year, Hurricane Sandy caused a wall of water to engulf low-lying coastal areas on the East Coast of the United States, particularly in New York and New Jersey. Such catastrophic events underscore the vulnerability of coastal regions worldwide to extreme weather events that produce intense storm surges (increased water depth at the coast) and large, powerful waves.


A man on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list was arrested in Texas on Sunday after being on the run for almost six months.
Terry Strickland, suspected of killing two people in Milwaukee in July, was arrested Sunday morning at a traffic stop without incident, the FBI announced. A citizen saw Strickland on a poster and tipped police.
There was a $100,000 reward for information leading to Strickland's arrest, CNN reports.
I am proud of the continuous hard work of our agents ... in quickly apprehending this dangerous and violent fugitive.
Doug Lindquist, El Paso FBI agent in charge, said Strickland had been on the list for exactly a month before his arrest.
He is the fourth Most Wanted fugitive captured by FBI El Paso.
Investigators said a fight between at least seven people led to Strickland shooting and killing two of them in northern Milwaukee.
According to the FBI, the tipster discussed the possibility that Strickland was temporarily residing in El Paso, our partner at KFOX reports.

Investigating novel immunotherapeutics in the treatment of melanoma.
Dr. Sarnaik's primary research interest involves investigation of novel immunotherapeutics in the treatment of melanoma. This includes tumor-based vaccines, immune-activating antibodies, targeted inhibition of oncogenic proteins, and autologous T cell therapy.

There's a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose, our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.
I have listened to this book once and have started over at the beginning. For many years I have suffered from chronic depression. After many doctors, medications, group support and counseling, the message I have gotten is to keep taking my medicine....that depression cannot be cured but we can teach you how to cope with it. I have really never been made to feel like I could be healed from my illness. Suddenly, I feel like I have awoken from a coma. After listening to this book I have a flowering hope that depression is not something I have to cope with for the rest of my life. The message Dr Dyer shares in his speech is spiritual, uplifting and enlightening.
Sure, it's great. However, if you've enjoyed his work A Spiritual Solution for Every Problem I suggest using your audible credit and/or $ on another audiobook as it is identical - same lessons, jokes, stories. I love all of Dr. Dyer's insight and find applying his teachings to my life priceless.
If you could sum up Secrets of Your Own Healing Power in three words, what would they be?
He brings his charm and wit to the table, you just cant get the same thing from reading his books.
this is a must have in addition to there is a spiritual answer for every problem as well as power of intention and excuses begone, it is a summary and reminder of the fact that we are part of God, the divine is God and the divine is us. We are part of God and therefore what Jesus said and this so you shall do, but greater things shall you do! Awesome read as usual Wayne Dyer, thank you!
After listening to this there are no words that would allow me to express this but amazing. The insight to the human true being is no less then remarkable. I look forward to having the pleasure of reading more material from Dr. Dyer.
Just what I needed to hear as a chiropractor!
Dr. Wayne dives into a place where not all of us have the ability to create our own reality. When we focus on elevating our presence and our acknowledgment of being, we can elevate the health of our patients beyond the typical mind. We can show them the way to living a superior existence from their current reality… And in some cases this can completely change the minds, attitudes, and belief systems of our patients as a whole. I highly recommend this book to any doctor or health professional!
The end had me in tears. I don't think that there is anything else that I need to say.
I learned a lot about energy and how it relates to my well being. Awesome!
Dr. Wayne Dyer is inspiring.
this is a new journey for me but Dr Wayne Dyer has inspired me to seek the spiritual comfort I need to find in life.


Dr Matthew Patrick will be retiring from his role as Chief Executive of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust in July 2019, after six very successful years.
Dr Patrick [pictured] has decided to step down from the role of chief executive after 34 years in the NHS, including 12 years as a chief executive, as he wishes to reduce his working commitments, while ensuring an orderly and smooth transition for his successor.
Dr Patrick has contributed widely to national mental health strategy and policy over many years through his roles, which include: chair of key Royal College of Psychiatry reference groups; positions on the board of King's Health Partners and University College London Academic Health Science Centres; mental health director for NHS England London Region (2012-2015); a member of the south east London STP (sustainability and transformation partnership) executive and co-chair of both the mental health workstream and the clinical programme board.
More recently Dr Patrick chaired the London Mental Health Response to Major incidents Board - set up to oversee and co-ordinate London's NHS response to terrorist events in the capital after the London Bridge terror attack.
It has been an absolute privilege to work for my whole professional career within the NHS, an institution that I love dearly. To have had the opportunity within the NHS to have an academic, a clinical and a managerial career feels remarkably lucky. It has been a great honour to have been the chief executive of two organisations of international repute and lead such talented and committed staff who day in day out do their utmost to deliver excellent care to our patients and service users. I am making the decision now as it feels like the right time for me and my family.
I am still keen to contribute to the NHS and healthcare more broadly and am looking forward to new opportunities and challenges, and to continuing to make a contribution for as long as that is valuable.
Dr Patrick will be continuing to be full-time Chief Executive of South London and Maudsley until July 2019, to allow the Trust time to appoint his successor and ensure a smooth transition. From July, he will then provide longer-term continuity as Senior Executive Director – Young People and International.

Is anyone here using Gulp?
Im working on a Webuilder GUI integration of Gulp and could use some betatesters if it's going to reach a public release.
So if you are interested in betatesting it AND is able to give feedback (Which seems to be a problem with users here.), then send me a PM.
Is there reallly no HTMLPad/Rapid CSS/Rapid PHP/WeBuilder users who uses Gulp?
Here's a preview of some of the things that you are missing, and a small example of what the plugin can do.
I have seen people use it but I myself prefer .bat files. I can test your plugin after the release.

Knock at the Cabin Trailer Hints at An Apocalyptic Situation
By Parul Bhilwara
If you're a fan of Shyamalan's work, then you know he knows how to keep you on your toes. It's no secret that there are many great things about Shyamalan's body of work. Shyamalan's films have taught us that nothing ends without a surprising twist.
In his films, we've seen him craft stories where the characters are not what they appear to be, and we're never safe from being surprised by the story's ending. This is what makes Shyamalan such a beloved figure in the thriller genre, and why people love watching his films over and over again.
One of his upcoming projects that are proudly roaring on the internet includes the upcoming dystopian thriller "Knock at the Cabin" starring Dave Bautista.
The film is here with another intense trailer that will surely give you chills for the big reveal that is expected to drop on the screens sooner than expected. Check out this article to know everything.
So, imagine this, you are away for the weekend with your family or friends, spending a nice exotic vacation in the middle of a jungle in a cute cabin. Suddenly, a group of people comes running for your life asking you to sacrifice in the name of saving humanity?
Sounds convincing? Well, this is what happens in M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin where we get introduced to a loving couple spending their vacay time in the jungle when their family time gets destroyed.
The newly released trailer shows four armed people showing at the cabin's door to make the family make the biggest sacrifice of their lives.
The film is based on author Paul Tremblay's 2018 horror novel 'The Cabin at the End of the World', the trailer takes us in a remote cabin, with Andrew and Eric spending a vacation with their only daughter Wen.
Although they're on their family vacation away from the city, four strangers come knocking on their cabin door, demanding an unthinkable choice to counteract the end of the world by picking who among them can be sacrificed.
The family has to make a decision under the condition that if they say no, hundreds of people will die. As Leonard in the movie said, "No one's allowed to leave until there's a decision." When someone says no he dies.
When Is The Film Releasing?
All the crazy fans who were anticipating the film for a February release can take a breath of relief as the film is arriving sooner than it was announced. The premiere date which was earlier on February 17th has been pushed to a flashing February 3rd.
Who All Are In The Cast?
In terms of cast members and stars in the film, Knock at the Cabin has kept an intimate cast including Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Kristen Cui, Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint.
By the looks of it, Knock at the Cabin does seem to be another home invasion film, one that seems to have drawn inspiration from previous releases such as Inside, The Strangers, You're Next and Hush.

ZANGLL – platform for connecting travelers to real estate owners – is launching their ICO soon. The team of ZANGLL is proud to present their project and invite everybody to join the future of vacation rentals. ZANGLL is a decentralized service for short-term rental of real estate, connecting lessees and lessors directly without any intermediaries.
The market of vacation rentals has changed radically over the couple of years. Travelers are looking into various options while finding a place to stay. Renting a home or apartment is no longer considered an "alternative" accommodation, this option is being used both by leisurely and business travelers. It has become a serious alternative to so called traditional accommodations. But while the short-term rental market has been revolutionized, the booking platforms' development has not followed at the same speed. That market of platform providers has been at a standstill for a while now and one can say that introduction of competition is long overdue.
ZANGLL is getting into the market of short-term vacation rentals platform provider and will bring the future with it. The market has plenty of growth perspective and is just waiting for a new and improved platform. The demand is for cheaper, more transparent and faster platform – the demand is for ZANGLL.
The idea of ZANGLL is to make a better, more comfortable and profitable platform to connect travelers to real estate owners. Today, with the platforms available, the commission fees in the short-term real estate rental market are 15-20%. As ZANGLL offers cryptocurrency payments (ZNGL token) there will be no commission fees but 0,45% of transaction fee from both parties. With cryptocurrency transactions, the movement of assets happens within seconds compared to today's platform where money takes 3-5 days to reach the receiver. ZANGLL platform will also offer smart contracts, free property listing, honest ratings (inability to change or fabricate ratings), leased property insurance mechanism, a transparent system by using blockchain technology and the possibility of E-locks.
Today ZANGLL is working hard on the prototype that will be released mid-November 2017. The first negotiations with future service providers are being conducted and first investors have already expressed their deep interest in our project.
During the ICO 200, 000, 000 ZNGL tokens will be issued and 140, 000, 000 tokens will be distributed during crowdsale. The price of the token will be equivalent to $0,27. The goal of the crowdsale is $30 million. The value of ZNGL token will grow as both customers and property owners will have to buy and sell tokens at the exchange for mutual payments. To ensure that sufficient number of ZNGL tokens are traded ZANGLL will limit the initial sale of ZNGL tokens to 3 million tokens per person.
The international team of experts at ZANGLL are confident that ZANGLL will be the number 1 platform for vacation rentals.
ZANGLL – the future of vacation rentals.
