Top 5 Video Streaming Platforms in 2020 – A detailed comparison
by Tom Kelly | Jan 3, 2020
Video streaming platforms were always popular with internet users since their inception.
However, there has recently been an unprecedented surge in popularity of such streaming platforms due to the entry of exciting new players.
Video sharing on the internet was taken to an all-new level by YouTube when it was introduced. Video sharing is a multi-million dollar industry as the founders of YouTube had understood long before any of us realized it was possible.
One can share any video even from home on such platforms, and people from all over the globe can view them. Videos can range from sports to fitness, from cooking to art and from music to even video games.

Live video game streaming is trending
Video games, now, are a massive attraction for youngsters around the world, and the fact that one can play video games professionally has the youth of this generation hooked to gaming.
The old horses of the gaming world, such as Call of Duty and Counter-Strike, are still going strong, while the entry of PUBG and Fortnite has breathed fresh life into the gaming industry, and the surge in popularity of video games isn't likely to die down anytime soon.
Twitch.tv heralded a new era of live video game streaming, which gave birth, over time, to other similar platforms, chief among which is YouTube Gaming, launched in 2015 to compete with Twitch.
The big five players
This game of cat and mouse that the newer platforms are engaged in with older platforms has led to the evolution of the way video games are watched and shared around the world.
Innovations in this area continue to be made, and here are some of the major players who are continuously redefining rules and changing the way this game is played.
Ustream rechristened IBM Cloud Video on April 1st, 2017, is another American video broadcasting platform that has been used by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, among others.
Mixer is an impressive live streaming platform gamers and is giving both Twitch and YouTube a run for their money.
Facebook Gaming(Level Up) is the newest entrant in this arena and is meant to compete with Twitch and Mixer.
Twitch Amazon June 6, 2011
YouTube Gaming Google February 14, 2005
Mixer Microsoft January 5, 2016
Facebook Gaming Facebook January 26, 2018
Ustream IBM March 1, 2007
How do the five platforms stack up against each other?
Now let's compare these different video streaming platforms to understand what separates them from one another and makes each one of them unique.
The comparison has been made based on several factors such as owner, supported languages, system requirements, type of content being broadcasted, subscription requirements, and fees.
While most of the platforms are free to visit and sign in to, some require paid subscriptions to either the platform or the channels on the platform. Subscription to channels is optional on some of these platforms. User statistics across the various video streaming platforms allowed us to make a comparative study of the different platforms and how traffic flows in each of them.
Some platforms are more popular than others, and the number of average daily visits gives a fair idea of the volume of traffic on these sites. We have also discussed the most followed streamers on each of these platforms, as well as the average active streamers.
Type of Content Streamed
The content-type is not limited to just video games with the exceptions of YouTube Gaming and Level Up, which had been specifically designed by their respective mother platforms, for video game streaming.
Twitch, even though it hosts all sorts of videos, is mostly used for video game streams. Mixer too focuses on live video game streaming, although it identifies itself as a video streaming service.
Ustream's contents are not restricted to live video games, and the platform features a wide range of live videos from politics to sports, and even live videos from NASA's ISS (International Space Station). Podcasts are also regularly streamed on these platforms, and game-related discussions draw a considerable number of viewers.
Twitch supports 29 languages, which include more than 10 European languages, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and quite a few Asian languages as well.
YouTube supports a vast number of languages, thanks to Google's global reach, with nearly 100 languages supported.
IBM leads tops the list in this section with an astounding over 100 languages supported on its platform.
Mixer currently supports 21 languages, but they will be expanding that list in the future.
Systems Supported
All standard systems are supported by these platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Mixer is additionally integrated into Windows 10 and Xbox One, making it an even bigger hit with gamers than it already was.
Android and iOS apps offered by Mixer, IBM, YouTube, and Facebook, allow streamers to stream using their mobile devices or a certified broadcasting device, apart from your PC.
Mixer lets you stream mobile gameplay, which is a huge bonus for mobile gamers. However, make sure that you have at least the Windows 10 Spring collector update for Mixer to run correctly.
Fees Required
Registration is optional on all of the sites and not required to watch videos. However, registration is needed to upload videos or to stream live content.
Sign in to Mixer by using your Microsoft account for free. If you are a Windows user, then you already have one. Create one by heading over to outlook.live.com if you don't have one.
Signing in to YouTube and uploading videos is free of cost, as well.
Twitch is also free to sign up and use it. To subscribe to channels on Twitch, you will have to pay $4.99 per month.
IBM Cloud Videos offer a free trial for 30 days with access to advanced broadcasting features. You can stream to at most five concurrent viewers without ads. To reach a larger audience, you need to subscribe to a paid plan. Monthly plans start from $99 and go up to $999 and are divided into three categories, namely Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
To know more about IBM Cloud Videos plans, head over to their "Compare pricing & options" page.

Average concurrent views
Twitch boasts of an average of 15 million daily active users, out of which 27,000 are Twitch partners. The average concurrent viewers of Twitch increased from 788k, in the fourth quarter of 2017, to 953k in the first quarter of 2018.
Mixer, meanwhile, has 10 million daily active users. Facebook grew meanwhile to reach 56k average concurrent views, and Mixer recorded an amazing 90% rise to nearly 10k. Mixer's average concurrent viewers are likely to be much higher, as most of its viewership is on Xbox One. Information on viewership on Xbox is hard to track and thus not available.
YouTube Gaming, in the same period, saw its average concurrent viewers drop from 308k to 272k.
Most popular streamer or channel
Ninja is the most well-known Twitch streamer, with more than 12 million followers on his channel. He is mostly known for his gameplay of Fortnite and PUBG, which draws nearly 60,000 views per stream on an average. Ninja also plays Halo and H1Z1 when he is not playing Fortnite.
He shot to instant fame in early 2018, five years after joining Twitch, by hosting Drake for a game of Fortnite. He earns around $500,000 a month from his Twitch channel alone. When totaled with the additional income from sponsorships, ad revenue, and donations, his yearly income crosses the 5 million dollar mark.
Mixer sets itself apart from the other platforms because of it being integrated into Xbox One. It is, thus, no wonder that Xbox is the most followed channel on Mixer, with 412,588 followers. Several games are streamed on this channel, currently prime among which is Battlefield V.
PewDiePie is the most popular gamer on YouTube, and his subscriber count currently stands at 96 million. He is one of the highest-earning YouTubers with his channel reportedly generating over $12 million each year. This guy plays a lot of games, and you will be spoilt for choice once you visit his channel. He, however, is famous amongst his followers because of his comic take on everyday things and his playthrough of horror-based video games, such as Rise of Nightmares, Silent Hill and Amnesia- the Dark Descent.
Facebook's Level Up has recently just entered the gaming scene, and the most popular streamer currently is Darkness429. Darkness429 mainly plays Fortnite now but used to divide his time between PUBG, Battleground, and Halo earlier. He also has a Twitch channel by the same name. Data on his monthly income is unavailable, and no estimate could be made.
Ustream is home to a large variety of content, among which live feed from the ISS (International Space Station) seems to draw the most views. The live stream from the ISS is a spectacle to behold and one which you will not want to miss out on. NASA TV is also quite popular among visitors to this platform.
Active streamers
The quarterly active streamers per platform have been calculated from October to December in 2018, which is the 4th quarter.
Twitch leads the race by a large margin with 814k streamers on average. Next on the list is YouTube, which had 293k streamers during the same period. Facebook and Mixer follow with 27.5k and 15.8k quarterly average streamers, respectively.
So these are some of the factors separating one platform from another. If you are an occasional gamer or one who plays as a hobby, then any of the above five platforms will work for you.
On the other hand, if you are an avid or professional gamer, then you might want to look into the specific features, which each platform has to offer by visiting their respective websites.
The IBM cloud video platform uses Artificial Intelligence by the name of Watson, to run its sophisticated broadcasting platform. The platform requires you to download their streaming software from their website, which you will have to use to stream videos.
Most streamers prefer OBS or Open Broadcaster Software, a free open source streaming program on Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer.
Mixer, being integrated both into Windows 10 and Xbox One, lets you upload streams directly from your console.

The Articulator: a new way to manipulate lineside structures
RailEngineer
The modern world of rail is full of increasingly complex shapes, yet the technology used in handling these awkward and weighty items has been very limited to date.
Slings, chains, hoists and ropes are all still used trackside for the handling and placement of masts, with or without complex gantry and crane systems. It seems bizarre that, in 2018, the rail industry is still using such primitive methods to lift sections and structures.
From a health and safety point of view, having human beings underneath or in the vicinity of enormous and potentially lethal long swinging masts is far from ideal. So the industry needs a more scientific, safer and more economical way of handling these masts and structures.
Simple manipulation
Sandhurst has been in the excavator-mounted attachment business since 1979, trading at first in hydraulic attachments and then renting them out. One of the founding companies of the sector, it has remained at the forefront of this new technology. The Sandhurst name is now synonymous with attachments and, over the years, the company has developed a strong relationship with the rail industry, carrying an extensive inventory of rail equipment reflecting its customers' needs.
Tim Dean, the company's CEO and founder, told Rail Engineer: "Sandhurst is extremely involved in the rail sector and will continue to develop it."
He pioneered and encouraged the use of manipulators in rail engineering and maintenance, and the manipulator concept has now become a popular attachment for the accurate positioning and safe handling of stanchions, signal posts and more. However, the products currently available are limited by their design, to square and oblong sections up to 3.75 tonnes, or round sections up to 1000kg.
In addition to these restrictions on the shape and size of the items being handled, customers also reported volatility in responsiveness, which Sandhurst identified as being caused by the number of hydraulic cylinders and their poor performance in co-ordination. There have also been problems with safety lookouts in the existing offerings, which make operators wary of using them.
In response to these reports, Sandhurst set its engineering department a challenge two years ago, with a design brief to explore a next-generation manipulator with much more flexibility than anything seen before. Engineering director Neil Beard explained that the brief was to develop a product that could handle a multiplicity of forms, from square to circular to tapered, for carriers such as excavators and truck cranes with the capability to articulate and position loads up 5000 kg WLL (working load limit).
Just taking the capabilities of various manipulators and combining them into one tool would, in itself, have represented a significant advance, but Neil wanted to go further than that.
To pick up irregularly shaped items, the clamping elements would need to be independently actuated. Sandhurst's engineering team began by sketching out different ideas, looking at how the legs should actuate in varying scenarios. The model they decided to run with would have three independent actuations – two leg pairs and a central ram – which would perform separately but combine to grab the work piece. Paired with this grabbing and clamping flexibility would be a tilt rotator, giving 360° rotation and tilting through 100° left and right.
The design brief's working load limit (WLL) meant that the team would need to complete finite element analysis (FEA) on components to ensure each would cope with static loading to 5,000kg. Further FEA and duty cycle testing was undertaken to ensure the durability of all components, including the moving parts.
Although the grades of steel to be used were an important factor, as were the fabrication procedures that would be employed, intelligent design ensured that the attachment itself as a whole was both strong enough and load sensitive.
With the manipulator attachment counting as part of the load on the machine, any weight saved would naturally increase lifting capacity. As a result, the geometry was optimised to ensure maximum durability and rigidity while saving weight. The final product would weigh in the order of 1,350kg, meaning that a structure weighing 3,650kg could be lifted and manipulated given an overall WLL of 5,000kg. In practice, this lifting capacity would vary depending on the radius in each particular case.
To allow for careful handling, the clamping pressure would need to be adjustable within reasonable limits.
Successful demonstration
The result of all this work is the Articulator 5000, a prototype of which was demonstrated to potential customers recently. With just two circuits, it's an elegantly simple plug-and-play solution.
Safety was a crucial factor in the design work. The failsafe is that the legs won't move without a positive electrical current, so, if there's a power cut, the legs won't move. This means that, whatever the present situation in the workplace may be – whether an item is held or the Articulator is empty – it will be maintained. What's more, an anti-burst valve is placed as close to the central pad's cylinder as possible, so that, if there's any change in hydraulic pressure, the legs will not move.
Fitted to the unit are two electronic spool valves that are actuated by a control box which sits inside the cab and is fitted with both a visual and audio alarm. This confirms that the clamping element can then be activated.
Cost efficiencies and time savings are likely to be substantial, considering that to erect and place a single stanchion is currently very labour intensive. With masts for new lines being placed at 15 to 18 metre intervals, the use of a tool like the Articulator could increase efficiencies dramatically, with placement possible in a matter of minutes.
The Articulator can be seen in action at the Sandhurst website, and has its own site, r-tick.com, where it is shown lifting long steel sections, awkward uneven and weighty structures and cumbersome concrete pipes.
Demonstrated at a recent industry event, the Articulator drew a crowd of enthusiasts, with Neil Beard pleased to hear from rail industry colleagues that it was a very "well thought out" piece of equipment. Rail professionals were quick to spot the potential of the Articulator for multiple applications including electrification, the handling of stanchions and timber baulks, and placing concrete piles and pipes. At the same time, professionals from other sectors enthused over its potential for use in such areas as drainage and in erecting highways' lighting structures.
Testing and approval
As the Articulator 5000 continues to go through comprehensive pre-production testing, including proof load testing and duty cycle testing, Sandhurst is reporting an overwhelming response to its website and advertising of the Articulator 5000.
"There's a sense that something like this is long overdue and I think a feel-good factor that an innovation like this, which will be so useful in rail and other sectors globally, was designed in Great Britain," said marketing director Louise Dean.
"Within two weeks of posting, we had close to 20,000 views of our film of the Articulator in action on LinkedIn, with comments from our friends in rail that it looks very impressive indeed. We're really looking forward to showing it at work to those who have been in touch and have suggested to prospective customers that they get in touch with us in advance of our demonstration day to let us know what they'd like to see it lifting."
Sandhurst is inviting all who have displayed their keen interest, of whom there are many in all sectors, to a live demonstration day shortly after production begins. The venue will be courtesy of the Rail Alliance, which Network Rail will attend as part of its approvals process.
Looking forward, there are plans for further models of Articulator, to handle smaller and larger weight classes and a cantilevered version for suspension from cranes. There will also be an 'inclinometer', for accurate positioning in the vertical or inclined planes. A dual-axis monitoring system, with a visual, cab mounted display, will ensure perfect placement of the loads handled which will be monitored from the operator's position inside the cab.
Tim Dean was keen to make the point that, as always, Sandhurst will be driven by its customer needs. "We listen to our customers, and provide solutions," he said.
Certainly, the Articulator represents a big leap forward for safe and precise handling, trackside or otherwise.

Glenn hits for the cycle as Lugnuts beat Kings, 9-5
LANSING, Mich. – Brad Glenn hit for the fifth cycle in team history and the first since 2007, helping the Lansing Lugnuts (17-13; 53-46) chop down the Clinton LumberKings (14-15; 51-47), 9-5, on a Monday Summer Fun Day on Jackson Field.
Glenn singled in the first inning, homered in the third, dropped in a fluke sun-aided double in the fifth, and then broke a 4-4 tie with a two-run triple off of reliever Jose Jimenez (2-4) in the seventh inning to give the Lugnuts the lead for good.
He capped off the game by drawing a walk in the eighth inning, loading the bases ahead of A.J. Jimenez's three-run game-clinching double.
The Lugnuts' previous cycle was accomplished by Travis Snider on July 7, 2007, at Fort Wayne. Corey Patterson (1999), Donnie Hood (2003), and Chip Cannon (2005) were the other Nuts to achieve the cycle in the team's 15-year history.
Gotta love the old sun aided double trick!

Sobolewski named FSL Player of the Week
Dunedin Blue Jays third baseman Mark Sobolewski has been named the Florida State League Player of the Week for the time frame of July 19-25. He becomes the fourth Dunedin player to win the honor this season, joining catcher Travis d'Arnaud, outfielder Welinton Ramirez and super utility player John Tolisano.
Sobolewski was fantastic in the weekend series against Bradenton, going 7-for-12 with two home runs and two doubles. On the week, he was 11-for-26 (.423) with three home runs and the two doubles. He also drove in 10 runs and scored eight times himself.
Sobolewski was named a First Half All-Star this season with the Lansing Lugnuts, the Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, where he hit .313 with four home runs and 24 RBIs. He also added 15 doubles.
So far with Dunedin this season, the 23-year-old is hitting .274 with four home runs and 22 RBIs, nearly the same numbers he had with Lansing, but in 51 fewer plate.
This guy is slowly moving up the depth chart @ 3B.
Courtesy of You Don't Know Dick:
Consider that among all MLB outfielders, Bautista ranks: first in home runs and outfield assists; second in RBIs, extra-base hits, OPS, slugging and bases-on-balls; and third in runs scored.
"He's a young guy that can still play third base for you and play the outfield, play first base, so that's what I would do, but that's just me," Gaston added. "I can talk to him about playing a certain position and it's, 'Wherever you need me.' Managers always appreciate guys like that on your ballclub."
The Jays need his versatility and don't need to save the money. They have him for one more season. If he goes through the arbitration process the Jays could then either trade him at next year's deadline or begin negotiations for an extension if he proves in 2011 that 2010 was no fluke.
Dick nailed it. Doesn't happen often so savor the flavor sir.
Courtesy of CBC Sports:
The 29-year-old Mike Jacobs is a lifetime .253 hitter with the Mets, Florida Marlins and Kansas City Royals.
The left-handed hitter averaged .208 in 28 at-bats this season with New York, which designated Jacobs for assignment on April 18. He cleared waivers and has spent most of the season at AAA, hitting .260 with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs in 86 games.
Last season, he hit 19 home runs and added 61 runs batted in while making $3.25 million US with the Royals last year.
Jacobs had 32 home runs and 93 RBIs in 2008 with Florida.
He provides some depth for the Blue Jays should they choose to deal free-agent-to-be Lyle Overbay.
Depth move at AAA. He does have almost 2000 MLB at bats under his belt but he strikes out a fucking tonne and has amassed a lifetime .313 OBP in the big leagues.
Courtesy of Husker Extra:
In the three weeks since he became an eighth-round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays, Nebraska City pitcher Logan Ehlers has turned down two offers to sign.
"We had the (signing-bonus) number set, and everything," he said, "so right now we're playing the waiting game."
That's usually how it works for anyone who has college aspirations but is in a position where they could command a large enough signing bonus to head straight to professional ball.
Don't know how this one slipped past the goalie but I just had to share it. We gotta get this kid to sign before he strikes out another 20 batters in a game.
Courtesy of MLBTR:
Many of the best trade chips in baseball play for the Toronto Blue Jays, but the team held onto all of them when their rivals didn't meet the club's asking price. Scott Downs, Jason Frasor, Kevin Gregg, Jose Bautista and John Buck remain in Toronto for one simple reason: in the end, no team presented GM Alex Anthopoulos with an overwhelming offer.
"I don't think we were that close today," Anthopoulos said. "There were things we had on the table that were available to us, but not enough to make us make a trade."
Translation: Stop trying to fuck with the new guy everyone.
Courtesy of CBS Sports:
Camp to have workload limited: Toronto RP Shawn Camp has been given a heavy workload this season but manager Cito Gaston would like to limit his innings, going forward, reports MLB.com Monday. "I want to do that with him," Gaston said on Monday. "I had a little talk with him about that." Gaston has frequently turned to Camp to clean up messes but will try to limit that going forward. "Of course, he wants to go," Gaston said. "He wants to pitch. Some kind of way, if I can give him off through the next few days, it'd be great -- hopefully. I don't know if it's going to happen. Maybe a couple of days and then if we use him, then we have the off-day."
(Updated 07/26/2010).
Fantasy Analysis
Camp entered Monday with a 3-1 record and a 2.92 ERA over 49 1/3 innings. Camp has allowed six runs over nine innings in his last 10 appearances, however, and opponents have been hitting .410 against him over that span. Camp has struggled of late and Gaston believes it has something to do with his workload. "He's only had a couple rough times out there this year," Gaston said. "That's going to happen." Camp is not in line for save chances and remains just a middle-relief option for Fantasy leagues that care about them.
Lind a future first baseman?: Toronto DH/OF Adam Lind is going to see playing time at first base down the stretch. MLB.com reports part of the reason why Toronto is going to give Lind a look at first base because the Blue Jays will be looking for a starting first baseman for the 2011 season. "We want to see him play first to see if he can play over there," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "But, you know, in the offseason there's still some first basemen out there that you can go get."
Lind has played most of his major-league career in left field or at DH. He played some first base in college and has spelled current 1B Lyle Overbay in a handful of games. Overbay is a free agent after the season and Toronto just traded away prospect Brett Wallace on Thursday, so looking at first-base options now is clearly a priority. The main thing is that Lind is still getting regular at-bats for Toronto. His .225 average and moderate power numbers in 2010 have been disappointing. Lind has been doing well in July, batting .301 with five homers and 11 RBI in 22 games, so there is hope he can still perform like a high-end Fantasy option down the stretch.

Return of Travis Snider forces Cito Gaston to get creative with Blue Jays lineup
Snider, considered one of the team's future cornerstones, will be shuffled around into different spots whenever fellow outfielders Fred Lewis, Jose Bautista, Adam Lind and Vernon Wells, third baseman Edwin Encarnacion and first baseman Lyle Overbay get a day off.
He'll likely hit in the spot of whoever he's subbing in for, including leadoff hitter Lewis.
"You know, I've thought about that here and there, and if I take Lewis out of the lineup we're not going to put Bautista in the first spot, so it might be Snider up there. He's pretty much my choice if I go that way," said Gaston. "If I have Lewis in the lineup, then Snider will go somewhere else. It's going to be a little mix and match."
This is the article that set off the shitshow on Twitter that I wrote about earlier. I figured there may be a chance Snider was being sat down until the deadline because a spot was about to open up. That didn't materialize, so now we are going to roll with this roving platoon for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Could end up messy. Especially with dip shit The Cito "managing" it.
Much has been made of his poor stats — he's been caught stealing 27 times to go with his pedestrian batting average — but Anthony Gose says he's deliberately taken steps backwards in some areas in order to take a few steps forward down the road.
"When you're learning something new the success may not be there right away, results aren't always instant," he said. "I feel I've made tremendous progress from last year to this year.
"Defensively I feel I've gotten better, better routes to the ball, I've worked on making better throws to the bases. Baserunning I feel the adjustments I've made have just made myself better, better reads of the pitcher, getting better jumps. ...
"Offensively I feel that I've progressed also, maybe not in statistical means, but mentally at the plate, and also physically, mechanically, I feel I've progressed to some degree and it will all come together."
I heard that he is the 3rd youngest player in High A or something like that. Patience is a virtue everyone.....
Courtesy of John Lott @ National Post:
TORONTO - Anthony Gose knows exactly what the critics are saying.
After almost two full pro seasons, he should be a better hitter. He steals a bunch of bases, but gets caught too often. He covers a lot of ground in centre field but makes too many fundamental mistakes on defence.
"Everything has been baby steps. I'm 19, and I have a lot of learning to do," said Gose, one day after his unexpected trade to the Toronto Blue Jays. "I've got a long ways to go before I'm a complete player."
He made his first start last night for Dunedin the high Class-A Florida State League, switching from the Phillies' FSL club a few miles south in Clearwater.
Dunedin coaches promptly began to work on "refining [his] approach at the plate," Gose said in a conference call.
"We started addressing those matters here already on my first day," he said.
Maybe they DID have the "you run like Hayes but you hit like shit" speech already!
Courtesy of Fan Graphs:
Wallace is pretty much just the opposite. His game is so dependent on offense, that even getting to 2-3 WAR consistently will be an issue. After Lance Berkman moves out of Houston, Wallace is the future at first base. He's not good there, and is surely somewhere worse than 2.5 runs below average. To even reach 3 WAR, he'd have to produce 25 runs with the bat to be worth three wins. And given the fact that he's never walked 50 times or hit 25 home runs in any season, getting to a .370 wOBA seems impossible.
Houston didn't do well today. With their best chance to finally acquire a player they could build their future around, they acquired two players with role player ceilings.
Brett made his MLB debut on Saturday with Houston. He finished up 0 for 4 while playing 1B and hitting 6th in their line up. Please refrain from crying about this. Everything is gonna work out later. Trust me.

Kingston SSDs Featuring Phison Controllers Power Over 18 Million PCs and Systems
One of our favorite tech companies, Kingston just announced a milestone in that it has shipped over 18 million SSDs which use their collaborator, Phison's controllers since 2017. That's really impressive and worthy of note. The following is Kingston's press release.
Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory storage products and technology solutions, today announced it has shipped over 18 million SSDs worldwide utilizing Phison controllers symbolizing the strength of a longstanding relationship. Kingston® and Phison Electronics Corp. (8299.TW) have been close collaborators for over a decade, first starting in USB Flash drives and then moving onto SSDs.
In 2010, both companies jointly invested in a new company to create embedded solutions to ease the design-in effort for handheld device makers expediting the overall product development cycle and bringing products to market faster. Both Phison and Kingston share and combine their expertise in engineering, production, sales and procurement. The company, Kingston Solutions, Inc., has grown exponentially from smart phones and tablets to a diverse portfolio including wearables, slot machines and consumer appliances such as smart beds and thermostats.
For the past five years, Phison's controllers have been implemented in Kingston client SSDs including KC1000, an M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD aimed at power users and enthusiasts. KC1000 is built to handle hi-res video editing and data-intensive applications which benefit from the low-latency, high performance solution. Earlier this year, Kingston deployed Phison's PS 5007-E7 controller to power DCP1000, the world's fastest NVMe PCIe SSD designed for enterprise environments. DCP1000 offers consistent and reliable high performance providing data center customers a solution capable of eliminating data bottlenecks that are storage bound.
"We are very fortunate to have opportunities to work closely with Kingston over the past decade," said KS Pua, Chairman and CEO of Phison. "We commit to deliver the most comprehensive and competitive next-generation products including UFS and NVMe SSD solutions in continuing Kingston's leadership in NAND Flash technology."

Applying for position as a Proofreader.
Hi, Levi will get in touch with you. Best regards.
I think our proofreaders make a good job and their suggested changes look reasonable. Since we got both of them for the Vampire projects the complains about our "fairly unreadable" releases have stopped... at least I have not read anything about that matter on the regular/popular visited sites for the past months.
So, I really don't understand where this comes from? Maybe the chosen wording (he likes it 'rich')? Anyhow, feel free to send me a private message to explain it further, if you wish so.

There are two very different faces to Kirkwood, and then many different expressions to each. Many people think of Kirkwood's extreme face, which is well documented on this site as well as dozens of others. What most people don't know is that the Timber Creek area features some of the best learning terrain in Tahoe. This is long, gentle, beginner terrain in an offset area of the mountain with it's own lodge and three lifts. Combine this with Kids Ski Free Sundays, and you have one of the best family resorts around. Another great idea for the kids is a dog sled tour of Kirkwood Meadow.
Most people know of the legendary steeps within Kirkwood's boundaries. More are now becoming aware of the quality of the backcountry just outside the access gates. When the gates are open, you can find great lines heading out of Kirkwood in any direction. Speaking of backcountry access, Kirkwood and BackcountryAccess have teamed up to present Beacon Basin, an avalanche beacon training area in the heart of the village. The wood may be home to great big mountain style skiing, but the park scene also rips, with the biggest kicker sitting right in front of the village for everyone to see.
While the 'wood has a reputation as a wild mountain, it has the only true ski-in ski-out luxury lodging on Tahoe's southern shore. with more coming almost every year.
The summer features many expressions as well. While it's still the same rugged Kirkwood we've come to know and love, it also has a softer side. Wildflowers are abundant as the snow melts and the water rushes down the gullies and percolates from the porous igneous rock. Kirkwood Mountain is also home to a championship disc golf course, Discwood, as well as horseback riding and the South Shore's only mountain bike park. The summer brings wildflower festivals with live music and fun for the whole family.

What is the NY SAFE Act? - Kevin T. Conway Esq.
The NY SAFE Act expanded upon the punishments that were put into effect for regulating gun control and enforcing gun crime penalties. Under New York state law, a permit is required to purchase and carry a handgun. Along with this, individuals must register their handgun with a governing body and have a license to own it. When it comes to a long gun, such as a rifle or shotgun, individuals do not need to have a permit to purchase or carry. However, this only applies to those who own a long gun outside of New York City. Within the city, the laws can be different due to the different environment.
If individuals are charged with possession of a firearm without a license, this can be considered a felony charge. When individuals lack a gun license, the degree of consequences can increase in severity. Under the NY SAFE Act, assault weapons are banned. If you are found with one in your possession, this can also cause a felony charge. However, if this assault weapon was legally bought before the NY SAFE Act was put into effect then the charges will not be the same. The law was made in and passed in 2013.
If you are charged with a gun crime, you need to consider your future. Gun crimes are serious offenses. Many are felonies with overwhelming prison terms. Contact The Law Office of Kevin T. Conway to review your case and effectively defend you from criminal charges. Our legal team will explore all legal defenses to alleviate the impact of your offense and conclude your matter in the best possible way.

La Campaña de Etolia, con frecuencia llamada Campaña etolia de Demóstenes, fue una ofensiva ateniense fallida en el noroeste griego durante la Guerra arquidámica. En 426 a. C., Demóstenes fue enviado desde Atenas hacia el Golfo de Corinto al mando de una flota de 30 navíos. Al llegar al noroeste, reunió rápidamente una coalición de aliados de Atenas en la región y asedió la ciudad de Léucade. Sin embargo, previo al final del asedio, fue convencido de levantarlo para realizar un ataque sobre la región tribal de Etolia. Abandonando la península de Léucade, se dirigió hacia el oeste, a Etolia, y en el camino perdió a varios contingentes de su ejército puesto que al parecer sus líderes estuvieron disconformes con el cambio en la estrategia.

Al principio la invasión encontró poca resistencia, y varios ciudades cayeron fácilmente, pero poco después se reunió un ejército etolio conformado por tribus de toda la región. Mientras tanto, Demóstenes se había enemistado con sus aliados acarnanios y había fracasado en encontrarse con los refuerzos que llegaron de Lócrida tal cual estaba planeado; su ejército contaba con un número extremadamente bajo de peltastas (lanzadores de jabalinas) cuyo alcance y movilidad podría resultar un factor decisivo en el difícil terreno de Etolia. Después de tomar la ciudad de Egitio, el ejército de Demóstenes se encontró bajo un fuerte ataque desde un terreno más elevado y debió emprender la retirada (que pronto se convirtió en una huida desordenada). Con la muerte de gran número de sus hombres, la idea de conquistar Etolia tuvo que ser abandonada. La batalla alentó a los aliados de Esparta en la región, y sólo mediante la brillante defensa de Naupacto y Acarnania (que restableció la reputación militar de Demóstenes) pudo evitarse que los intereses de Atenas sufriesen daños duraderos.

Preludio
Durante el verano de 426 a. C., Atenas, que ya había eliminado la amenaza inmediata a su seguridad al reprimir la revuelta de Mitilene el año anterior, tomó una posición más agresiva que en las campañas previas. Una gran flota de 60 trirremes, comandada por Nicias, fue enviada a atacar Melos y Beocia (que terminó en la Batalla de Tanagra). Demóstenes y Procles, mientras tanto, con una flota de la mitad de ese tamaño, zarparon para circunavegar el Peloponeso y operar en la zona noroeste y en el golfo de Corinto. Al llegar a su destino, esta fuerza ateniense relativamente pequeña aumentó sustancialmente con la adición de hoplitas mesenios de Naupacto, 15 trirremes corcireas, un gran número de soldados acarnanios, y varios contingentes provenientes de distintos aliados de la región.  Con esta fuerza formidable, Demóstenes destruyó una guarnición de tropas leucadias y después atacó y bloqueó a la mismísima ciudad de Léucade. Leúcade era una importante ciudad peloponesia en la zona, y los acarnianos apoyaron con entusiasmo el sitio y la toma de la misma. Sin embargo, Demóstenes optó por seguir el consejo de los mesenios, quienes deseaban atacar y someter a las tribus etolias que, según aseveraban, amenazaban Naupacto.

Tucídides indica que Demóstenes tomó esta decisión en parte para complacer a sus aliados mesenios, pero también afirma que deseaba, en lo posible, atravesar Etolia, incrementar su ejército sobre la marcha sumando a los hombres de Fócida, y atacar Beocia desde el oeste ya que estaba menos protegido. Además, como al mismo tiempo Nicias realizaba operaciones en la zona oriental de Beocia, Demóstenes podría haber tenido en cuenta la posibilidad de obligar a los beocios a combatir en dos frentes. Así, abandonó Léucade a través de su istmo y se dirigió a Etolia. Antes de llegar allí, sin embargo, su ejército disminuyó considerablemente debido a la partida de varios contingentes importantes; los acarnanios, molestos por el menosprecio con que había sido tratada su idea de tomar Léucade fueron desdeñados, regresaron a su país, y los navíos corcireos también se alejaron (aparentemente por falta de voluntad en participar en una operación que no ofrecía ningún beneficio a su ciudad).

Campaña
Si Demóstenes se vio afectado por tales rupturas dentro de su coalición, no lo demostró con sus acciones inmediatas. Luego de establecer una base en la ciudad de Eneón en Lócrida, comenzó a avanzar sobre Etolia tras realizar planes para reunirse con un destacamento locrio en el interior etolio. Su ejército avanzó sin obstáculos durante tres días, llegando al pueblo de Tiquio. Allí Demóstenes hizo un alto, mientras el botín que había sido capturado hasta entonces era transportado de regreso a Eupalio, su base. Algunos historiadores modernos también sugieren que las unidades locrias con las que tenía planificado encontrarse debían reunirse con él en Tiquio o antes, y que el retraso de Demóstenes en continuar su marcha se debió en parte a su preocupación porque las fuerzas locrias no llegaban. Los locrios llevaban a cabo un estilo de guerra similar al de sus vecinos etolios y pudieron haber provisto a Demóstenes de hábiles lanzadores de jabalinas; en su ausencia, el ejército de los atenienses era muy deficitario en unidades ligeras de armas arrojadizas, mientras que en este aspecto sus oponentes eran los más fuertes.

No obstante, Demóstenes siguió adelante, su confianza reforzada por los mesenios quienes le aseguraron que el elemento sorpresa garantizaba el éxito siempre y cuando continuase atacando antes que los etolios tuvieran la oportunidad de combinar sus fuerzas para oponerse a él. Pero el consejo de los mesenios llegaba tarde; los etolios conocían los planes de Demóstenes desde antes que invadiese y ya habían reunido un ejército considerable. Demóstenes avanzó hacia el pueblo de Egitio, al que capturó con facilidad, pero no pudo seguir adelante. Los habitantes de esta ciudad retrocedieron a las colinas que circundaban el pueblo, donde se unieron al ejército etolio, y pronto Demóstenes y sus fuerzas se encontraron bajo asalto desde el terreno elevado. Trasladándose con relativa sencillez en el difícil terreno, los lanzadores etolios de jabalinas conseguían descargar sus armas y retirarse antes que los sobrecargados hoplitas atenienses pudiesen alcanzarlos; sin los locrios, Demóstenes solamente podía emplear a un contingente de arqueros para mantener a raya a los atacantes etolios. Pero incluso con los arqueros defendiéndolos, los atenienses sufrían la peor parte de la refriega; cuando el capitán de los arqueros fue muerto, sus hombres huyeron, y el resto del ejército los siguió al poco tiempo. A continuación se produjo un baño de sangre. El comandante de Demóstenes, Procles, y el guía mesenio murieron. Las unidades de soldados, sin líderes, se dirigían a cañones sin salida o se perdían en el campo de batalla, mientras que los veloces etolios los abatían; el mayor contingente que huyó se perdió en un bosque al que los etolios prendieron fuego. De los 300 atenienses que marchaban con Demóstenes, 120 fueron muertos; se desconoce la cantidad de bajas entre los aliados, pero se presume que fue una proporción similar. Semejantes pérdidas eran en especial exorbitantes cuando se las compara con el número habitual de bajas de una batalla de hoplitas, en la que una tasa de víctimas superior al 10% era tremendamente inusual.

Consecuencias
Luego de regresar a Naupacto, los atenienses navegaron rumbo a casa, dejando atrás una situación estratégicamente precaria y un comandante cuya reputación se tambaleaba con gravedad. Los etolios, animados por su victoria, comenzaban a preparar una ofensiva contra Naupacto, y Demóstenes estaba tan preocupado por cómo lo recibirían en Atenas (donde la asamblea tenía la reputación de tratar con dureza a los generales en desgracia) que decidió no volver junto con su flota. Sin embargo, en los meses siguientes, la situación estratégica volvió a estabilizarse y la reputación de Demóstenes se recuperó debido a su espectacular victoria en Olpae.

I had this "Aha!" moment last weekend when I was getting ready to meet friends in the city for brunch.
I woke up late (purr usual) that morning, even with the extra hour from Daylight Savings (apparently, I need more sleep than a fairytale character), and I had less than 10 minutes to put on ye olde warpaint.
I grabbed Josie Maran's new Winter Dreams Argan Color Collection ($34).
Every nifty nibble in this five-piece set contains Argan oil, the moisturizing magic ingredient in Josie's makeup that's supposed to make lines and wrinkles look less obvious.

An embarrassing number of Americans think HTML is an STD
We'd forgive the majority of people for not knowing what the acronym HTML stands for (HyperText Markup Language in case you were wondering), but according to a recent study 1 in 10 Americans didn't even realise it was a technical term and instead decided it must be an STD.
The research from Vouchercloud.net also found that 77% didn't have the foggiest what SEO is, 27% decided a gigabyte is an insect and 23% thought MP3 was that robot from Star Wars.
According to the LA Times (where the results were first published), the study polled 2,392 women and men aged 18 and above who were given a list of tech terms and non-tech terms and were asked about the definitions.
Although it's not clear whether they were given STD as an option in the most shocking result of them all or whether these bright sparks concluded that themselves, it's still proof we all need to brush up on our tech terms a little more.

"The Summer Reading Challenge encourages thousands of kids, teens, and adults to read and participate in library events each and every summer," said Deputy Director Susan Moore. "Our libraries are sanctuaries that provide access to endless inspiration and transformational experiences."
Summer reading is particularly valuable to kids and teens as it encourages students to read over the summer to prevent the "summer slide"; reading during the summer keeps students from losing reading skills gained during the school year. Research shows that children who read four or more books during the summer score better on reading comprehension tests when they come back to school, compared to peers who don't read over the summer.
Visit your local library or www.sdcl.org for a complete list of special summer events. For more information on the Summer Reading Challenge, contact your local library or visit www.sdcl.org/src. For more information on Shelter to Soldier visit www.sheltertosoldier.org.

Q: d3 xAxis with ordinal scale and a click event? I will build a chart with an x-axis (ordinal scale). Every label at the axis have a click event. The data for the x-Axis Labels are stored in JSON objects (xAxisData.Label) - my xscale.domain. But when I click on a label, I need the ID from the json object (but my data domain are only the Labels). So how can I store the ID additional to the Label ? thx....!!
xAxisData: {
              ID: 1,
              TimeStamp: 01.01.2014 00::00,
              Label: "00:15",
            },

xAxisLabels = d3.set(xAxisData.map(function (d) { return d.Label; })).values();

xScale = d3.scale.ordinal()
            .rangeBands([0, chartWidth], 0.1)
            .xScale.domain(xAxisLabels);

A: You can use the objects themselves as input to the domain:
xScale = d3.scale.ordinal()
        .rangeBands([0, chartWidth], 0.1)
        .xScale.domain(xAxisData);

Then, to get the Label as label, use the .tickFormat() function of your axis:
xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(xScale)
          .tickFormat(function(d) { return d.Label; });

Now the data bound to the ticks includes everything and you can use d.ID in your event handler.
Update
This doesn't quite work as expected because D3 coerces the domain values into strings and maps them to the scale indices. This doesn't work in this case, as objects are always coerced to the same value. A quick fix is to specify the stringification yourself (i.e. convert to JSON) and take care of the necessary conversions behind the scenes:
xScale = d3.scale.ordinal()
            .domain(data.map(JSON.stringify))
            .rangeBands([0, w], 0.1); // 1%

xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
         .scale(xScale)
         .tickFormat(function (d) {
             return JSON.parse(d).label;
         })
         .orient("bottom");

A FURIOUS disabled driver has been hit with a £35 fine because his specially-adapted car was too big for the parking space he left it in.
Blue badge holder Stuart Ludar-Smith had left his Volvo X370 estate car in a disabled parking space at Trinity Place car park in Huntingdon town centre for three hours on Friday morning while he volunteered on reception at disability charity Papworth Trust, which has an office in the Saxongate Centre.
When he returned at noon he discovered he had been fined £35 for not parking his car within the white lines. Mr Ludar-Smith, 45, who lives in Sawtry, has appealed against the fine, pointing out his specially-adapted car is too large for the space.
He said: "My car is two feet longer than the space. My tyres may have been on the white line, but I could not have gone back any further because there was a huge van behind me.
Mr Ludar-Smith, who suffers with a condition that affects the nerves in his legs and has limited mobility, has 14 days to pay the £35 fine or it will up to £50.
A spokesman for Huntingdonshire District Council, which is in charge of parking enforcement, said: "It is difficult to comment on specific cases, but if a resident feels they have an issue with a ticket, they should contact us.


Can I order multiple versions of a job in the same order?
Yes, ONLY on business card orders provided all the versions are the SAME specifications, including quantity. On the initial ordering screen, you select the specifications as if you were only ordering one version. This especially relates to quantity. You select the quantity you want of EACH version, not the quantity you want total. On the second ordering screen you will see a field that is labeled "versions." Duplicates of the EXACT same specifications will be calculated into the order based on what number you enter there. If for example you select a quantity of 1000, and enter "4" in the versions field, you will end up with an order for 1000 EACH of 4 VERSIONS. There is no way to break the versions into mismatched quantities other than placing individual orders.
Keep in mind our SHOPPING CART allows you to place separate orders of different products, and only checkout and pay once to simplify the process.

Ark Storms
Usually, I read fiction just to relax and enjoy, and I seldom think I might learn from someone else's fantasies. But then I read Linda Davies' book ARk Storm.
It was a good read with interesting characters and a plot involving manipulating rainfall for evil purposes, using ionization technology. Of course, there is a suite of bad guys and a nefarious plot.
After finishing the book, I wondered if ARk storms might be real, as I'd never heard of them before, but it turns out they are.
So let's look at these phenomena and see what they're all about. AR (Atmospheric River) storms are classified into five types, with the ARk (Atmospheric River 1000) being the most severe. It is a huge and devastating storm which arises from complex influences in the upper atmosphere, often over the Pacific Ocean. They concentrate massive volumes of water in the form of 'rivers' which transport the water through the atmosphere, causing severe and extensive damage over large areas while they eventually release their load.
They are also known as the Pineapple Express, tropical/moisture plumes/connections and water vapour surges. In 2010 the US Geological Service (USGS) simulated a massive ARk storm through computer modelling and predicted such a storm could cause $725 billion in damages to coastal California. Looking at what's happening in California now, it looks like the predictions have some validity!
Much of the early science, these models are based on, was derived from an intense storm in 1861-62 which lasted 43 days and deposited about 3.5 metres of rain on California. According to the USGS, other ARk storms occurred in 212, 440, 603, 1029, ~1300, 1418, 1605, 1750 and 1810. On average, they occur every 100-200 years, so we are certainly due for one. The 1605 storm was the largest and most impactful of these, based on sedimentation studies of soil deposited by the storm. The impact of the recently predicted storm indicates an area about 480 x 30 km wide could be affected, with wind speeds of up to 200 km/hr. Roads, levees, homes, crops and infrastructure will be devastated, and 1.5 million people will have to be evacuated.
Scientists predict current trends in climate change will result in more storms, increases in water carrying capacity and stormwater runoff potential. Will other areas be potentially impacted? Absolutely, these onshore storms can impact any west coast region, including Canada. Other studies show recent impacts on Australia, Iran, Great Britain, France and Norway.
What exactly is an atmospheric river then? We all know clouds can carry huge amounts of rain, so an atmospheric river is simply terminology to reference these volumes of water as they 'flow' through the clouds, eventually dropping their load as rainfall.
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAH) states, these 'rivers' can carry up to 15 times the volume of the Mississippi River, at any point in time, and may be several thousand kilometres long. Their impact is magnified while warming temperatures, arising from climate change, lead to greater and faster evaporation and, thus, more water in the atmospheric rivers. Climate change is expected to increase these atmospheric rivers' carrying capacity, by 25 percent, over the short term. Three such storms hit southern California in the second week of January 2023. Okay, that's gloomy. But is there an upside?
Projects aimed at capturing these anomalous rainfalls can lead to benefits in the future. If some of this water which falls can be captured to recharge aquifers, a great deal of long-term good can be derived. California is looking at ways to do exactly this. They're allowing water to collect in unused fields so the water can slowly percolate downward.
These storage fields will create vast areas of aquatic habitat for migrating and resident birds and other animals as a direct result. Because the water is eventually stored in underground reservoirs, surface lands are not negatively impacted for long periods of time, and the groundwater is recharged.
Nature is an incredible guardian of the environment. I wish we paid attention more frequently!

BT Group chairman Michael Rake said the organisation is open to allowing its infrastructure arm, Openreach, to become more self-sufficient and independent.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 on 25 July 2016, Rake said the company is willing to establish an independent board of directors to run Openreach, and give the division greater control of how it spends its money.
"We're absolutely willing to form an Openreach board that will have an independent chairman and a majority of independent directors," he said.
On top of this, he said the organisation is also keen to make it easier for third-party communications providers, which rely on the Openreach network to deliver services to their customers, to ensure they are getting everything they need out of the partnership.
Rake's comments follow on from the publication of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee's report into Openreach on 19 July 2016, which called for the subsidiary to be given greater autonomy when it comes to making spending and strategy decisions.
This was on the back of claims made elsewhere in the report that BT had under-invested in Openreach over several years, and has failed to take steps address complaints about the quality of service it delivers.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee calls for operation and investment overhaul for Openreach, and claims failure to deliver on this should prompt Ofcom to order breakaway from BT.
BT Openreach will be forced to cut the wholesale prices it charges for high-speed business leased lines and improve its performance in installing them.
Rake moved to address both these claims during his time on Radio 4, stating that the company had invested significantly in Openreach during the height of the financial crisis, before conceding that its customer service levels do need to improve.
"We started an investment programme in the height of the recession into fibre – rolled it out to the country – and we spent significant amounts of money with relatively low returns, which has achieved what we think is a very competitive, high-level of coverage and very good prices," he said.
On that point, he said the organisation is willing to ramp up its investment in Openreach over the next several years, which should pave the way for its customer service levels to improve.
"We're working on a number of different aspects. We're doing a lot of work on technology platforms to improve the quality of customer service and the customer experience," he said.
Communications regulator Ofcom is set to deliver its verdict on the future of Openreach tomorrow, having previously ruled in favour of it remaining part of the BT Group.


I am charged up — I just returned from our annual conference which I think you all are aware was held in Orlando — and, I wanted to share what a great time we had!
Becky Brothers who hosted a session titled: Social Media…Your new Rolodex. Becky shared some great tips relative to using social media for prospecting. Indeed, her discussion was so highly rated that I've asked her to be a presenter at one of our future breakfasts or lunch. Thus, we can all learn how to maximize LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter as tools for building a strong and vibrant referral and prospecting network.
C. Padget participated on a panel that discussed WIFS Mentor/Mentee program. In fact, this year a number of us participated in the WIFS Mentorship program; K.C. was a mentee, while Cheryl, Chris, Deanna and I were mentors. So, if you are thinking you could use a 'career coach' — or you would like to be one — please don't hesitate to reach out to any one of us. Also, I know I can speak for all of us who participated; it is a wonderful WIFS benefit — for both the mentor/ee it is an enriched time and so well spent!
Deanna Brown sat on the panel titled: Independent Connection. Deanna spoke about the benefits and unique challenges of being independent vs captive. Deanna shared her best practices and how her firm, Ullman Financial, has achieved such great success!
Lisa K. Pilgrim moderated a discussion titled: What's on your Mind. In this session attendees were able to pose questions to each other and discuss issues they currently are experiencing in their career and troubleshoot solutions.
I facilitated a session on Taming Technology. During this educational breakout, attendees brought their iPads and smartphones and learned some tips and tricks to harness the power in our hands — after all, what started as 'fun to have' devices have morphed into texting, tweeting, multi-tasking productivity and entertainment gadgets that offer a wide range of possibilities for our professional lives!
Next, I am thrilled to share that several of our members were recognized in the WIFS Circle of Excellence luncheon which celebrates successful business women in terms of compensation realized per year. These included Angela Brown, Lorraine Dorsa*, and Jeanne Peterson*. In addition, Cheryl Canzanella was a Woman of the Year Nominee; this is the highest level of recognition a WIFS member can receive from her peers.
Well, I couldn't agree more. Even though this was my 3rd time attending, I uncovered new tools and ideas as well as met new colleagues that I know will help me grow my business and career — and I am excited to help my new network likewise! So with all of the preceding in mind, I encourage you re-up your WIFS membership for 2015 and consider attending our conference next year.
In the meantime, I thank you all for your continued support and interest in WIFS. I look forward to seeing you at our next event.

The Guru and Just A Kiss – Film Festival interview with Marisa Tomei (continued)
metrowebukmetroThursday 15 Aug 2002 1:02 pm
Meanwhile, she has two movies due for release and screening at this year's Film Festival – the mainstream, Bollywood-inspired comedy, The Guru, starring Heather Graham and Jimi Mistry and the low-budget independent Just A Kiss, directed by a friend of Tomei, Fisher Stevens.
She has always played in both the Hollywood and independent arenas and she says, there is good and bad in each: 'You can have a lot of heart on a Hollywood movie,' she explains. 'Nobody cared more about what she was doing than Nancy Meyers on What Women Want, for example, and I've also seen a lot of independents who supposedly have all this heart and soul, but all they are really looking to do is to climb up to the next level. And that can be disheartening.'
Creature comforts are another matter: 'There is a really big difference when you are shooting and you don't have ground service, or you don't have a trailer – though sometimes that can be fun,' she smiles.
'But there are times I wish there was a chance to have a couple more takes. You're running out of light, you can't go over to the next day… The crew are packing up almost before you've got to the end of your line.'
She may be on a roll again, but Tomei isn't just in this for the ride: 'I certainly wouldn't be doing it if I didn't care about it,' she says.
'There have been a lot of times I've wished I could quit but I always come back to the fact I really like being an actor – I feel this is what I'm supposed to do. So, as much as sometimes it might seem easier to go and do something else or I feel like screaming: "Let me get out of this suckers game!" – I just can't. I love it too much.'VENUE AND DETAILS:Just A Kiss, Thurs Aug 15, Cameo 1, 17:30, Sun Aug 18, Filmhouse, 21:30; The Guru, Sat Aug 17, UGC, 20:30; Aug 21, Cameo, 17:30, £7, £4.50 concs.
