Before you roll up your sleeves and fire up the stove, let's talk about what makes each fish special. If you've ever tasted salmon and tuna, you'll agree that they are completely different beasts. Salmon is seductively lush and tuna is bold and confident. Our goal as cooks is to respect their personalities and to bring out the best in them. Don't worry; understanding fish personalities does not take a Ph.D. in psychology. It's actually quite simple. A personality of a fish is a combination of its thickness, texture, fat content, and flavor. Understanding these 4 elements will help you choose the right cooking methods, and find appropriate substitutes when a particular fish is not available. It will also make you more comfortable when faced with unfamiliar fish. If fish shopping feels like a cocktail party where you stick with the only two people you know (salmon and cod, anyone?), it's time for fish psychology 101.
Commonly available fish fillets range from 1/3" thick (sole, flounder) to 1.5" thick (salmon, cod). Fish with huge fillets, like tuna and swordfish, are usually sold in steaks (a cross-section cut). Fish with tiny fillets, like sardines and smelts, are sold whole.
Thickness of the steaks does not depend on the type of fish since it's a cross-section cut. It can be made as thick or thin as the person butchering the fish desires, but traditionally, steaks are around 1" thick.
Whole fish come in all shapes and sizes. They can be as small as anchovies (1/4 inch thick) or as huge as swordfish (almost 2 feet thick). Fish that are over 4" thick or over 8 pounds are rarely cooked whole.
There is a whole spectrum of fish textures from fragile to dense. Here are some examples.
To determine the texture of a fish, bend its fillet or steak and get a feel for its flexibility. If it feels stiff when you bend it and as firm as meat, it is dense. Try that on a piece of swordfish or tuna to get a sense for what a dense fish feels like. If it's flexible and drapes like fabric, it is fragile. Fillets of fragile fish, like sole or flounder, are so flexible that you can roll them up from head to tail. The other fish textures are somewhere between these two extremes.
Delicate and slightly firm fish lend themselves nicely to any cooking method, so don't worry if you can't tell the difference between their textures. The fish at the extremes of the texture spectrum are not as versatile. It's not a good idea to grill fragile fish, such as sole and flounder. They are likely to fall through the grill rack, and there goes your dinner. The dense and firm fish-- like tuna, swordfish, and mahi-mahi don't lend themselves well to poaching and steaming. Their texture resembles that of meat, and they are cooked as such. Can you imagine a poached lamb or pork chop? Neither can I. Firm and dense fish are best cooked with dry, intense heat methods: grilling, broiling, and searing.
Texture is also the deciding factor in whether or not to marinade a fish. Many dense fish tend to dry out during cooking, and can benefit from sitting in an oily marinade for 30 minutes to couple of hours. That's the secret to juicy swordfish. The only dense fish that can be just as good without a marinade is tuna when cooked very rare. Fish that are not dense do not need a marinade.
Fish fat is the carrier of flavor and all those wonderful omega-3 fatty acids, so it's nothing to shy away from. The easiest way to evaluate the fat content of a fish is to broil it. If there is a lot of fat left in your broiler dish, it's a fatty fish. As a general rule of thumb, white fleshed fish are lean, orange and dark fleshed fish are fatty, and cream fleshed fish can be lean, medium, or fatty. The fattier fish have a more succulent moist texture than lean fish and they are easier to cook since they don't tend to dry out.
The flavor of different fish varies from mild to very intense, and it often goes hand in hand with fat content. Most white fleshed fish are mild, cream fleshed fish are moderately flavorful, and dark fleshed fish are intensely flavorful. The fish with orange flesh all belong to the salmon family and they have a very particular, somewhat sweet flavor.
When following fish recipes, it is always possible to use the fish of similar texture, fat content, and flavor intensity. Thickness of the fish rarely makes a difference in substitution. Even the same species can have a huge variation in thickness. But remember that you have to adjust the cooking time, allowing around 8 minutes per inch of thickness. For example, a 1/2 inch thick arctic char fillet cooks twice as fast as a 1 inch thick salmon fillet.
Ever try brining fish or just salting ahead of time? I have done the latter occasionally, usually not quite on purpose, and I liked the results.
Thanks for leaving me my very first comment :) It's so fun when people come to visit. I've only tried brining fish before hot-smoking. It gives it a great flavor, so I don't see any reason not to do it for other cooking methods. I'll have to try that. When you say "salting", do you mean just seasoning ahead of time, or really salting like for gravlax?
It is my honor to be first, Helen.
Oh no, I didn't mean like for gravlax. I meant something like: at 6:30 I salt a few filets of fish intending to put them on the grill around 6:45. But then dinner gets postponed for whatever reason, and the fish doesn't get cooked until 7:30.
If I am just putting salt and pepper on fish, I do it immediately before cooking. But when I marinate (I usually only go through the trouble for dense fish), I do add salt to the marinade, along with healthy amount of oil and let the fish sit 1-2 hours. I'll have to try just the salting ahead of tiem without the marinade next time.
Salting fish before cooking is a time-honored Japanese technique; it draws out extra water and concentrates flavor. Use coarse/kosher salt, heavily, and leave for 30-60 minutes. Wash thoroughly.
This works well for dense, fatty fish, especially salmon; not so well with light, fragile fish.
I heard about this Japanese method, but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for reminding me about a new fun thing to try with fish.
Pardon my asking such a basic question, but how different are the methods of cooking: grilling, broiling and searing? How is the fire/heat manage in terms of intensity and source (bottom/side/top).
I just stumbled into your website tonite and am getting a good education on fishmongering and seafood cooking. Thank you for your generous sharing of personal and stock knowledge.
Welcome to Beyond Salmon. Grilling, broiling and searing are all direct/high heat methods. In most cases they can be used interchangeably. There are however some differences in the actual mechanics of how these methods work. Searing in a non-stick or cast iron pan (fish will stick in a regular pan) will give you the most crispy skin. Grilling will give you that unique smoky flavor. Broiling will give you decent browning without the splatter of searing. You can sear and broil any fish. Grilling is a bit trickier -- avoid it for really fragile, skinless fillets (sole, flounder, cod). They'll fall right through the grill rack.
I just absolutely can't stand the taste of fish. My husband loves it. He normally grills it and I have a steak. Recently I have decided to lose weight and change my eating habits to include healthy meals and of course fish. I need to understand what kinds of seasoning and marinades and cooking methods I can use to make fish less fishy tasting and still healthy (low calories). MY husband would love it if I could enjoy fish with him. I enjoy scallops and lobster and crab and shrimp but fish is something I need help enjoying..
Thank you, thank you, thank you! After much time searching for a comprehensive answer to my question, "what does each fish taste like?", I came across your entry, and it was JUST what the doctor ordered. Besides, being a DC transplant form Boston, I knew I could trust your info. I'll be adding your link to my food blog (My Splendid Table), that others may bask in the opulence of your knowledge.
My sister eats a lot of fish, she doesn't know how to cook, so I cook for her. I don't rea;;y fish, so when cooking for her, I often call her to kitchen to taste it. She doesn't really like it when the fish has its "Fish taste" how do I get rid off the fish taste in fish?? Do I sound kind of crazy? Is this even possible? Please help.
The fishy taste in fish is usually a result of overcooking. If you follow this guide on doneness and avoid really strong tasting fish (sardines, bluefish, swordfish, etc), you shouldn't have a problem.
i was put into the hot seat once when i went to my girlfriend's dorm and tried to prepare something good to eat. i salted the 1 1/2" thick fish fillet with a liberal amount of sea salt, while i had rings of capsicum and chillies in a big n deep pyrex container along with tequila (college dorms), lemon juice, olive oil. left the two separate for about an hour or so.. then plopped the fish into the big pyrex container (the oil should go about halfway of the fish) and popped it in the microwave (ahh dorms) uncovered for about 12 mins then another 3 mins covered to steam. and voila! of course, boiling would be best.
hi helen.. im newbie here.. just wanna ask a question on what the differents beteeen brine salting n dry salting fish in texture n taste? which one r best?
I don't have a good answer for you about brining vs. salting. The only time I brine fish is for smoking. And I don't normally pre-salt, marinade, etc. Right before cooking, I sprinkle it with salt and pepper and cook immediately. I wouldn't recommend brining for any method besides smoking, as it makes fish wet. even for smoking, you have to dry it out for several hours before proceeding with the recipe.
would you be so kind as to address the question of the use of preservatives on fresh fish. Perhaps in Boston this problem does not exist, but here in New York City where I work, and on Long Island where I live, buying fresh fish or ordering it in mid-price restaurants results in something that tastes as a combination of mild but distinct Clorox plus antibiotics. Really disgusting taste. I am sure it improves the "shelf life" of the fish... I cannot find any info on how to tell raw fish processed in this manner from the really fresh fish I crave.
Hmm, I haven't heard of fish being treated with chlorox, and I don't believe you can actually taste antibiotics. but I have heard of fish being soaked in what's essentially a salt solution to prolong its shelf life. to avoid all these problems, only buy fish from a reputable fishmonger. how do you know which ones are reputable? be nosy and ask questions. become a regular and see if you are happy with their product. if not, move on. there is no way to tell what fish has been treated with by looking at it.
Also, realize that excellent quality fish is expensive and unfortunately there is no way to get the best fish cheaply. that being said, fish prices vary. for example bluefish is around $8/LB and halibut is $20/Lb right now in Boston area. Both are of the highest quality, but due to supply and demand the blue is much cheaper.
Great blog here. I'd like to make chilean sea bass recipe but it's so expensive. Can you recommend a similar fish to replace it?
Sable is similar and depending on where you live, it might be cheaper. It's a west coast fish, so it will be significantly cheaper there. But even on the east coast, my guess is that it usually retails for $16-18, while Chilean sea bass is $25-28.
I'm making a fish curry that calls for a 'firm fleshed' fish. What fish would you reccommend (especially for a beginner fish cook) as well as something that is reletively easy to find/economical.
Mahi-mahi would be my first choice. It's inexpensive (as far as fish goes), and has a nice firm texture. Swordfish is very widely available, but it's more firm and more expensive than mahi. Red snapper and tilapia are moderately firm and widely available.
This was so helpful, Thank you.
I haven't read through all of your entries yet--The School of Fish. I do believe you write quite a lot like me. I'm going to complete this school of fish, I think it's a precious little piece of the internet.
I've been interested in fish for a long time, but I have never had any interest in cooking. I lift weights, and my body craves protein, and I find nothing as satisfying as fish. I've an appetite for it, and a particular taste for it, and reading your blog has helped me understand what it is I want.
I'm not the aficionado you or Carl is, but I'm learning. I'm just a writer and a bodybuilder with a an uneducated taste for something--you've helped me define what. Many thanks!
You make it pretty easy, and yummy, and the cuttings are looking very beautiful and tasty.
And it is helpful that you share the tip of fish, You are really look like a professional cooker.
I have some fish in my freezer - frozen basa fillets (a type of catfish) - how firm do you think this would be considered? Have you worked with basa before, and do you have any tips? Because to put it bluntly, I've never been able to make it taste any good.
I don't think there is a way to make your frozen fish taste good. The only previously frozen stuff that I've had that is worth eating is very high end flash frozen fish that was kept in a super freezer (not a regular home or supermarket freezer). So, stop trying and get yourself some fresh fish. If you are on a budget stick to cheap species like mackerel, bluefish, etc. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as cheap good fish.


Experimental setups such as trapped ions and ultracold neutral atoms in optical lattices provide us with a toolbox to implement a rich variety of models from condensed matter physics. In this talk I will present our theoretical proposal to use trapped ions to study quantum magnetism and models of interacting bosons, as well as a few experimental results on the implementation of this idea. I will also present some recent theoretical work on matter-wave superradiance of ultracold neutral atoms in optical lattices.

Gail Simone (Oregon, 29 de julho de 1974) é uma roteirista de histórias em quadrinhos americana. Mais conhecida por escrever a série da DC Aves de Rapina, suas outras obras notáveis incluem Sexteto Secreto, Boas-vindas á Tranquilidade, Eléktron, Deadpool e Mulher-Maravilha.

Em 2011, ela se tornou roteirista de Batgirl. Apesar de ter sido demitida do título em dezembro de 2012, pelo editor Brian Cunningham, ela foi recontratada no dia 21 de dezembro, após os fãs terem reagido contra a decisão da DC.

Ela tornou-se roteirista de uma nova série da Red Sonja  em 2013 pela Dynamite Entertainment, e da série Crosswind, em 2017, pela Image Comics.

Carreira

Primeiros trabalhos
Ex-cabeleireira e estudante de teatro na faculdade, Simone tornou-se conhecida pelos fãs por Women in Refrigerators, um site fundado em 1999 por um pequeno grupo de fãs de quadrinhos, incluindo Simone, em resposta a uma cena em Lanterna Verde #54, em que a namorada do personagem-título, Alexandra DeWitt, foi assassinada e seu corpo enfiado em uma geladeira para que o herói o encontrasse. O site foi dedicado a identificar super-heroínas que tivessem sido mortas, estupradas, ou caso contrário, passado por eventos traumáticos como expediente narrativo para um personagem masculino. O site a pôs em contato com muitas pessoas que trabalham na indústria de quadrinhos. Sua coluna  You'll All Be Sorry! foi publicada semanalmente no Comic Book Resources. Os tópicos variavam de resumos satíricos de quadrinhos ("Condensed Comic Classics") a fanfics paródicas.

Simone trabalhou para a Bongo Comics, escrevendo scripts de muitas de suas histórias em quadrinhos baseadas em Os Simpsons. Suas contribuições incluem histórias para Simpsons Comics, uma edição especial de Treehouse of Horror e scripts regulares para Bart Simpson Comics. Simone também escreveu muitas páginas dominicais para a tira de quadrinhos dos Simpsons.

Regular

Após seu trabalho em The Simpsons, Simone entrou nos quadrinhos mainstream com uma passagem em Deadpool da Marvel Comics. Quando Deadpool foi cancelado e relançado como Agente X, Simone continuou como roteirista, mas acabou por deixar a série depois de um conflito com o editor da série. Simone voltou a escrever a conclusão do arco para o Agente X, alguns meses após o cancelamento inicial da série.

Após a disputa com a Marvel, Simone mudou-se para a DC Comics, onde ela recebeu o título Birds of Prey em 2003 (começando com a edição #56) com o grupo feminino que consiste em Oráculo, Canário Negro, Caçadora e Lady Falcão Negro.

Simone ficou responsável pela revista Action Comics, após a saída do escritor Chuck Austen, com arte de John Byrne. Simone continuou seus outros projetos, inclusive a série limitada de 2005 Vilões Unidos  - parte do crossover  "Crise Infinita" - em que ela revitalizou o personagem Homem-Gato. Ela também escreveu um arco de história em duas edições que incidiu sobre os novos Rapina e Columba para a terceira série dos Novos Titãs , com arte de Rob Liefeld. Enquanto Simone manteve sua postura habitual de entusiasmo, o fandom foi rápido em criticar a arte promocional de Liefeld produzida em conjunto com o anúncio. A polêmica se dirigiu mais a Liefeld de que a Simone, uma situação que Simone reconheceu no quadros de mensagens da DC Comics  logo após a primeira edição de Simone/Liefeld chegar às  lojas.

Em 2005, Simone escreveu uma série limitadaspin-off de Vilões Unidos, intitulado Secret Six, o que levou a uma série contínua, que estreou em setembro de 2008 e terminou com o resto dos títulos  DC antes do relançamento dos Novos 52, em setembro de 2011.

Outro trabalho de Simone inclui uma passagem no título do Superman Action Comics, uma breve passagem em The Legion, uma série  limitada em quadrinhos da DC Comics Rose & Thorn, e uma revitalização de Gen13 daWildstorm. Para a Oni Press, Simone escreveu Killer Princesses com a co-criadora e artista Lea Hernandez,  Gus Beezer Marvel Comics.

Simone também escreveu uma série de Átomo, com base em ideias de Grant Morrison e arte de John Byrne e, mais tarde, Mike Norton. Outro trabalho inclui uma série Gen13 e um projeto autoral sobre uma comunidade para super-heróis aposentados de Welcome to Tranquility, da Wildstorm. Simone também foi colaboradora de Comic Book Tattoo, de Tori Amos.

Em 12 de abril de 2007, a DC anunciou que Simone iria ser a nova roteirista regular do terceiro volume da Mulher Maravilha,  primeira previsto para começar com a edição de número #13 mas mais tarde mudando para #14. Simone é notável por ser a roteirista mulher há mais tempo a escrever Mulher-Maravilha, muitas vezes, erroneamente, creditada como a primeira mulher a escrever a personagem, quando ela foi, na verdade, precedida por Mindy Newell, Trina Robbins e Jodi Picoult. No início de 2010, ela foi nomeada como roteirista de Birds of Prey, sob o banner "O Dia mais Claro".

Simone foi substituída em Mulher Maravilha por J. Michael Strazcynski, logo após o título ser renumerado para a edição 600, mas continuou a escrever os títulos Birds of Prey e Secret Six. Uma segunda série limitada de Welcome to Tranquility  também foi publicada em 2010. Em junho de 2011, foi anunciado que Simone iria colaborar com o co-roteirista Ethan Van Sciver em uma série renovada do personagem Nuclear (Firestorm)  estrelada por Ronnie Raymond e Jason Rusch e que sua série contínua Secret Six tinha sido cancelada. posteriormente, Ela deixou Birds of Prey, e foi sucedida por Duane Swierczynski. Simone deixou The Fury of Firestorm na edição #6 (fevereiro de 2012).

Em 2011, Simone contribuiu com Power Within, um quadrinho financiado pelo Kickstarter que se concentra no bullying adolescente. Nesse mesmo ano, como parte da Iniciativa  da DC Comics Novos 52 , Simone escreveu o novo título da Batgirl  estrelado por Barbara Gordon. O primeiro número da série foi publicado em setembro de 2011, no qual, Simone apresentou uma personagem chamada Alysia Yeoh, que mais tarde foi revelada ser transgênero, o primeiro grande personagem transgênero escrito em um contexto contemporâneo num quadrinho mainstream.

Em novembro de 2012, vários veículos de imprensa noticiaram que seu acordo de exclusividade com a DC estava chegando ao fim, que ela estava deixando o título Batgirl, e possivelmente, a DC. Em 9 de dezembro de 2012, Simone revelou que sua saída não foi voluntária, e que ela tinha sido demitida de Batgirl na quarta-feira anterior pelo  novo editor do título, Brian Cunningham. Em  21 de dezembro, Simone estava de volta a escrever Batgirl.

Em fevereiro de 2013, a DC anunciou The Movement, uma nova série por Simone e pelo artista Freddie Williams II, que Simone chamou de "um título sobre poder — quem o detém, quem o utiliza, quem sofre com seu abuso." No mês seguinte, Simone começou a escrever uma nova série contínua de Red Sonja  de Dynamite. A primeira edição foi lançada em julho de 2013. Nesse mesmo ano, Simone foi listado em primeiro lugar na lista da IGN de "Melhores Tuiteiros dos Quadrinhos" pelo  "entusiasmo e empenho" de seus posts no Twitter.

A partir de 2014 a 2015, Simone escreveu a série de Lara Croft Tomb Raider para a Dark Horse Comics. A série é ambientada na continuidade do reboot do video game de 2013 e se passa entre o jogo e a sua sequência Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Outros meios de comunicação
Simone escreveu o episódio de Liga da Justiça Sem Limites "Double Date", que apresenta  Questão, Caçadora, Arqueiro Verde e Canário Negro em uma aventura romântica com tons de vingança e inveja. Originalmente, Simone escreveu o episódio para a Batgirl Barbara Gordon. Depois de Gordon se lesionar enquanto trabalhava em um caso, Batman proíbe-a de continuar. Ela contacta Canário Negro e a Caçadora para concluir o caso. Nenhuma heroína encontra Gordon em pessoa. Devido os direitos de animação para a personagem Batgirl estarem interditados no momento, Simone substituiu Batgirl pelo Arqueiro Verde e Questão. Simone afirmou que ela estava interessada em trabalhar na animação novamente, tendo em mente uma história com a Rainha das Fábulas  que ela achou que ficaria bem animada.

Ela também escreveu um episódio de 2010 de Batman: The Brave and the Bold intitulado "The Mask of Matches Malone", estrrelando Canário Negro  e Caçadora das Aves de Rapina, enquanto elas tentam lembrar Matches Malone de que ele é o Batman.

Em agosto de 2007, Simone criou e escreveu um episódio de Revisioned: Tomb Raider da GameTap, intitulado "Pre-Teen Raider".

Prêmios e reconhecimento
Simone tem sido notada como sendo uma das mulheres mais influentes na indústria de quadrinhos. Seu blog, Women in Refrigerators, é conhecido por aumentar a conscientização de como as mulheres são representadas nos quadrinhos. Simone afirmou que o blog não foi criado para condenar a indústria pelo seu uso de mulheres, mas para sensibilizar a tendência de personagens femininas serem utilizadas como meros dispositivos para avançar o enredo. Simone afirmou que a maioria das personagens femininas são voltadas ao público masculino através da hiperssexualização e defende a criação de personagens femininas que sejam equivalentes aos personagens masculinos, uma prática em que Simone é reconhecida por se envolver.

Em 2009, foi convidada para o Hall da Fama das Mulheres Quadrinistas Friends of Lulu.

Em 2010 e 2012, Simone foi indicada ao GLAAD Media Award como Destaque em Quadrinhos, pelo seu trabalho em Secret Six.

Em julho de 2014, Simone foi premiada com o primeiro True Believers Comic Award for Roll of Honor/Comic Excellence na London Film and Comic-Con

'The Apprentice: White House' being discussed between Trump, Mark Burnett post-presidency: Report
Entertainment_Culture
In this Feb. 2, 2017, file photo, television producer Mark Burnett introduces President Donald Trump during the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) more >
By Bailey Vogt - The Washington Times - Thursday, November 7, 2019
President Trump and the creator of "The Apprentice" and "The Celebrity Apprentice" — the NBC reality shows Mr. Trump hosted — have been trading ideas back and forth about revamping the hit reality show with a presidential twist, The Daily Beast reported.
Mr. Trump and "Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett have remained friends since they hosted the show together and have talked intermittently about producing more television together after the president finishes his time in the White House, sources with knowledge of the conversations told The Daily Beast.
"There have been several discussions between Burnett and Trump about The Apprentice: White House," one source said. "It is something Burnett thinks could be a money-spinner and Trump is very keen on doing."
"They actually talked about an 'Apprentice: White House,' " another source said, adding that "as far as I know, the discussion did not go far."
The sources told The Daily Beast that Mr. Trump has reportedly missed hosting his reality TV show since he left entertainment to run for president, and he and Mr. Burnett discussed adding the political spin on the program to take advantage of Mr. Trump's new status as a Republican Party figurehead.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Burnett have held a multiyear close relationship to the point that Mr. Burnett's son, Cameron, was the ring bearer at Mr. Trump and first lady Melania Trump's wedding.
Mr. Burnett came under fire during Mr. Trump's presidential campaign when he refused to publicize unaired footage that allegedly showed behind-the-scenes controversies on "The Apprentice" that depicted Mr. Trump negatively.
A spokesperson for Mr. Burnett — also the producer of CBS' "Survivor" and NBC's "The Voice" — denied the claim, telling The Beast "the president and Mr. Burnett have not discussed making television shows in any shape or form."

We seldom get excited when we contact an airline, but Hawaiian Airlines was different. We called and anticipated a lengthy wait time or a confusing automated system. What we received was the best service in the industry. The call immediately went to the customer service department. There was no wait time at all. When the agent answered the call, we asked for information regarding travel arrangements made through a travel agent. We wanted to know how to contact in the event of a problem.
The representative explained the travel agent is the point of contact, that the company could not make adjustments. Hawaiian Airlines taught me something new. The overall experience was incredible. How did you feel when you connected with the customer support team? See the comment section? Feel free to share your story.

Ralph H. Oto says:
I was just about to wrte a check to pay my bill with the MasterCard office. I noted that there was a charge for $325.00 from Hawaiian re web site purchase, 17315000682486, and asked one of your representatives for help. She was wonderful but could not do anything about the charge. I was upset that Hawaiian still had to charge me for something that I had already paid for!! Ridiculous!! I had to miss/cancel our flight because of illness on my wife's part, nothing that she planned for. Hawaiian was decent in issuing flight vouchers for future flights. That was good. But was it necessary to attach a charge for this matter? It appears that we had paid for all the service when we arranged the initial reservations and are paying for this again. Hey, I appreciate the vouchers but is it necessary to charge a person for something he already paid for? Thanks for listening to a complaint from a loyal, longtime patron of Hawaiian — check the records of my wife and me if you don't believe me, check our Master card action, frequent flier record.
I thought I was using the correct space for my e-mail but it is written above in your "Comments" section. I hope it is read by someone in the Customer Advocate/Relations Dept. Thanks

I am young in the photograph. Wide-eyes, painted in aquamarine, stare intently from the weathered print. Olive skin plays a tug-of-war with the deep hue of my magenta lipstick. I am wearing a sundress: frilly, typical, which hangs limply from my emaciated figure. I am not alone. Pictured beside me is a man, clothed in the body of a Greek god. His smile is arrogant, yet his eyes bear an intense humility.
Lazily, I release my grip on the photograph, and watch as it slowly glides from my hand to the nearby coffee table. I try to remember the day that we took the picture, but the memory has somehow become lodged in my brain. Indifferent, I take my usual seat on the patio and open my favorite novel for a quick afternoon read. Hours have passed before I think of the photo again. Interrupting my thoughts is a loud rap on the front door. I hurriedly pull open the door, and find myself staring into those familiar eyes, the eyes of the man in the photograph.
He is my husband, but I do not remember.

Week 10 College Football Primer
No. 25 vs. No. 25:
No. 1 Texas vs. No. 7 Texas Tech, 8:00 PM ET ABC
Both of these teams are coming off convincing wins but in completely different fashions. The Red Raiders absolutely routed a Kansas team that many thought could possibly hand Tech its first loss of the season. The Longhorns, meanwhile, got a major challenge from Oklahoma State but managed to hold on to victory despite some second half mistakes by Heisman candidate Colt McCoy. This will be the fourth consecutive ranked team (Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma State) that UT faces in as many weeks. Can they keep playing at a high level or are they due for a letdown? The big question surrounding this game is how UT's defense will stack up against TT's explosive offense and vice versa. Not that the Longhorns are playing stout defense by any means, but they'll be Tech's toughest challenge to date. It's going to be interesting to watch the dynamics of this game play out between Horns' McCoy and Red Raider Heisman hopefuls Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree. McCoy certainly has an easier challenge this week, but Harrell and Crabtree have helped Tech average over 400 yards of offense in every game this year. Texas is arguably the most complete team in college football, while Tech can light up the scoreboard. The team that plays defense last might be the one that comes out victorious.
No. 8 Florida at No. 6 Georgia, 3:30 PM ET CBS
The game formally known as "The World's Largest Outdoor Party" should be quite interesting this year after Mark Richt instructed all of his players to have a team celebration on the field after UGA scored the first touchdown in last season's contest. The shrewd move didn't go unnoticed by Urban Meyer and the Gators, who will no doubt seek a measure of revenge this weekend in Jacksonville. Florida has come alive since Ole' Miss upset them a few weeks ago, pounding Arkansas, LSU and Kentucky with the greatest of ease. The Gators seem to have re-focused and a win over the Bulldogs could make a huge statement. Both of these teams still have national title aspirations and there is absolutely no love lost here. This is one of the fiercest rivalries in college football.
Upset Watch:No. 15 Florida State at Georgia Tech, 3:30 PM ET
The Seminoles have ridden strong defensive play all the way to the No. 15 spot in the polls, but does anyone else get the feeling they're due for a letdown? GA Tech was a major disappointment last week in losing to Virginia, but that might have been more a testament to how great of a coaching job Al Groh has done turning around the Cavs than an indication that the Jackets are overrated. Even though GT isn't ranked anymore, this is still an even matchup and I think the Jackets are going to try and make a statement to get back into the top 25.
Other notable games:
Nebraska at No. 4 Oklahoma, 8:00 PM ET ESPN
The Huskers' defense has improved over the past couple weeks, but will they be any match for Sam Bradford and the explosive Sooners' offense?
Northwestern at No. 17 Minnesota, 12:00 PM ET
It doesn't have the same luster as Ohio State-Penn State did last week, but this is the best of what the Big Ten has to over this weekend. The transformation of the Golden Gophers has been remarkable after they one just one game last year.

2008 Year-End Sports Review: What We Learned


A few months ago, a book called "Second Heart" was published. It was written in order to create awareness among the general public about a very important organ, the kidneys. Kidneys are referred to as the second heart of the human body and hence the name of the book.
I had an opportunity to interview the authors of the book, Dr. Sandeep Huilgol and Santosh Avvannavar. I am sharing the interview below.
Einstein Story and Book Launch!
Einstein won nobel prize for physics, many ears waited earnestly to hear his innovation each and everyone in those days. Very often Einstein would get invited by a university to speak about his innovation and motivate others. His driver would wonder seeing the crazy people had for him, cheered 'Einstein, Einstein..' as he walked into the auditorium. The driver used to hear the same presentation each day and wondered, if one could get nobel prize by giving such talk – why can't I? He proposed a deal with his master that he could present like him and deserves to win a nobel prize. Einstein was happy and curious to see if his driver could take his position. Einstein became driver and the driver became Einstein as a trial. As media wasn't popular, people weren't aware how Einstein would really look like. The driver was made to look like Einstein and Einstein took the driver seat. As the driver walked into the auditorium, people cheered 'Einstein, Einstein..', he was overwhelmed by the people response. Einstein was surprised and happy to see his driver making presentation just like him. At the end of talk, the driver (Einstein at moment) was about a take his seat, a lady got up from her seat to ask a doubt. Driver didn't know the Einstein is awarded nobel for his technical contribution over only mere a presentation. The doubt was, 'If a ball is made to move from one end of the earth through a hole and the ball has to come through another hole….". Driver presence of mind was something to admire, after listening to the question he quipped,'Lady, you are asking a very simple question to a nobel prize winner, my driver can answer such question.' He asked his driver (Einstein) to answer this question. Jokes apart! The story is an example of Einstein innovation over failure is the result of nobel prize, the prize was worth because it was clear, concise and precise. Hence the number of pages doesn't define a value of book!
The book encompasses five five different heart touching stories with simple narration to bring an awareness about the misconception about kidney (referred as Second Heart) issues among general public. These are partly based on true stories about individual experiences. The book attempts on non-technical handling of a technical issue through emotional stories.


RIDGEWOOD, Queens — Investigators say an apparent collision between an ATV and a bicycle on a Queens Street inflicted deadly injuries on the 65-year-old cyclist as the ATV rider fled the scene.
The New York Police Department says Eucario Xelo died Saturday of his injuries from the crash early Tuesday in the Ridgewood area.
Police are looking into what caused the crash.
Their preliminary investigation indicates the bicycle was heading west on Seneca Avenue when a group of ATVs and motorcycles approached from behind. Investigators believe the lead ATV rider hit the bicycle, knocking Xelo to the ground.
He was found unconscious in the road and hospitalized.

Q: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:4567 I created a simple ruby/sinatra application following a tutorial from tutsplus. I have done everything as instructed but when I go to "localhost:4567", I don't see what I expect, instead I am greeted with the error message:
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:4567"
Is there something I need to do to this port?
EDIT:
With some help i figured I should have used port 9393. But now i get this error: error
and this is the code in my recall.rb app:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'datamapper'

DataMapper::setup(:default, "sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/recall.db")

class Note
  include DataMapper::Resource
  property :id, Serial
  property :content, Text, :required => true
  property :complete, Boolean, :required => true, :default => false
  property :created_at, DateTime
  property :updated_at, DateTime
end

DataMapper.finalize.auto_upgrade!

get '/' do
  @notes = Note.all :order => :id.desc
  @title = 'All Notes'
  erb :home
end

EDIT again:
SOLVED using
require data_mapper

A: According to the png file you posted in your other comment, your Webrick server is saying it started up on port 9393. So you should try accessing the app via http://localhost:9393.

A: Remember to start your server with shotgun recall.rb.

Known for their dark, wry humor and bold manner, castanics refuse to be chained to their dark past, and strive each day to forge a new future. Fierce and independent, castanics make superb allies...or deadly enemies.
Castanic fashion reflects their temperaments with loose, flowing garments made for fast action.
Castanics have a higher chance to crit when attacking from behind.
Castanics take 50% less damage from falling.
Clan Castanic has been secretly protected by the matriarchal order of valkyries for generations, handing down their combat techniques and weapons to only the most worthy of female warriors.
After Tithus sealed away Zuras in the war against the giants, Balder asked his brother Lok to look after her creations the devas. Some, however, were seduced by Lakan's promises of power, and followed the evil god into Northern Arun to found the Archdevan Empire.
Clan Castanic served Lok for many years, until they were tricked into creating an artifact which caused Balder's death. Today, most castanics spurn the gods entirely, believing them not to be worth the trouble they cause and viewing those who depend upon the gods to be too cowardly to seize their own destiny.
A fiery-tempered race, castanics occupy an uneasy niche in the Valkyon Federation. Castanics in the federation are willing to work together for the common good, but only so far as the common good doesn't take too long or come at too high a price. If a council decision goes against the wishes of the matriarchs, a "rogue" castanic faction will often arise to serve the clan's interests.
Hidden away in a vale on the east coast of Southern Arun, the dark heart of Clan Castanic crackles with energy. Much like its thorny, dark architecture and its oft-misunderstood inhabitants, a harsh beauty lurks beneath the surface of the city known affectionately by the castanics as the Shrouded Rose.

This makes so much sense. My calories to lose came out at 900 so not much higher than you (but I weigh considerably more than you and I'm taller). Do you feel at these calorie levels that macros make a difference? e.g., the plant based diets are supposed to be extremely heart and artery healthy but they are certainly higher in complex carbs. Thanks for the detailed post and graphs. I bookmarked your site!
Thanks Carolyn. I believe that it is not a one-size-fits-all world, and some people do better on one type of diet, while others need a different type of diet. It seems reasonable to believe that even though we are all humans, different people have different nutrient needs. I think that a part of this is probably physical, due to genetics differences, and also that a large part of this is probably due to socialization factors of how we were raised, and the foods commonly eaten by the cultures in which we've lived. I've observed that human beings seem to be able to survive well on just about any type of foods, and I am not one of those people who believe that our body's "basic good health" is determined by specific foods that we choose to eat or not eat.

On June 16, 2006, American Apparel became the first "real life" company to open a store in the world of Second Life.
 Predictions for the future of advergaming are scattered. The Yankee Group, a Boston-based business technology consulting group, predicts that advergaming and in-game ads will be a $260 million market by 2008. Market researcher David Cole at DFC Intelligence expects revenue from online-game advertising to rise from $120 million in 2004 to $500 million in 2009.
The impressive growth of advergaming shows no signs of slowing down as more companies are discovering its effectiveness at creating brand awareness and achieving their product goals. Even business-to-business companies are getting in on advergames to reach their clients and gain footing in new and competitive markets.
Second Life is a virtual world where you recreate yourself in any form you want (your avatar) and roam around doing much of what we do here in our real lives. American Apparel even opened a store there where Second Life citizens can buy virtual clothes with virtual money.
This money, called Linden Dollars, can both be purchased with real dollars (with an exchange rate of around $268 LD to $1 US as of January 2007) or your avatar can earn it. Yes, get a job in this virtual world and earn your keep. According to Fortune magazine's David Kirkpatrick, Second Life creator Linden Lab reported that in December 2006, "17,000 [Second Life] residents had positive cash flow in Linden dollars, with about 450 generating monthly income in excess of $1,000" in U.S. dollars.
It goes far beyond clothing for your avatar, however. In Second Life you can buy virtual land, build virtual houses, create virtual art, go to virtual parties, and anything else you can imagine. So, naturally, it''s the next logical step for advergaming. In fact, there are already games you can play within this "game." The next step for product sales is to have the ability to shop in Second Life stores, buying merchandise with Linden dollars and have the product arrive at your doorstep in the real world.
Second Life is also being marketed for business and education for collaboration, training, distance learning, new media studies, market research and even marketing new products. They suggest holding virtual meetings with staff located around the world. On the Second Life Web site, they even recommend that companies building their own world (like Scion City) where Second Life citizens can interact with products, enabling the company to test new designs before going to production in the real world. Second Life can also accommodate events to promote products, like concerts, classes, parties or contests. Not only that, virtual products can actually be sold in Second Life. As they say with Second Life, "you are only limited by your imagination."
Sony announced recently its plans for the new PlayStation Home at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. Expected to launch in the fall of 2007, PlayStation Home is a 3D-avatar-based communication, community and commerce online site. Like Second Life, players can dress, house, decorate and socialize within the game. Also like Second Life, the in-game advertising is rampant throughout. Home users can fill their apartments with all kinds of electronics -- all with the Sony brand. All public spaces and lobbies in Home will have large, dynamic video monitors, banners and billboards advertising various products. Home areas can also be branded by any company willing to pay for their logo. For example, one home area had numerous EA Sports games. Avatars could hit balls on the branded "driving range," shoot hoops with layered with basketball game logos, or beat up on a boxing-game-themed foam dummy.

A new West Bank-Gaza public opinion survey conducted on June 15-17, 2014, shows that fewer than 30% of Palestinians now support a "two-state solution": a West Bank-Gaza Palestinian state in lasting peace with Israel.
Moreover, 60% say that the five-year goal "should be to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine, from the river to the sea."
Nearly two-thirds said "resistance should continue until all of historic Palestine is liberated," while only a third said that "it might be necessary to give up some of our claims so that our people and our children can have a better life."
Moreover, almost two-thirds said a two-state solution would be "part of a 'program of stages,' to liberate all of historic Palestine later."
Salim Nassar, writing in the pan-Arab al-Hayat, recalled that at the time the U.S. was negotiating (unsuccessfully) the Status of Forces agreement with Iraq in 2011, American negotiators asked [Iraqi Prime Minister] Maliki's permission to leave a token force to protect the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, the largest American diplomatic mission in the world.
Maliki refused, saying that he could not break Iran's order, which was that all American troops must leave Iraq.
Asked by the American negotiators about his personal opinion on the matter, Maliki said, "I am indebted to Iran, which hosted our Da'wa Party for many years. For this reason, among others, I simply have to carry out Iran's policies."
As the stunning blitz by the Islamist State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, enters its third week, throughout western and northern Iraq, tribal leaders who once fought for the government are succumbing to ISIS rule, after being surrounded and blockaded.
Iraq's military, despite repeated promises, had never sent reinforcements to rescue them.
Palestinian sources in Gaza said Hamas internal security forces arrested the terror cell responsible for firing rockets at southern Israel Monday and Tuesday.
Military officials say 20 to 30 rockets have been fired at Israel in the last two weeks, with at least five launched on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar warned Tuesday that Hamas rockets have the capability of striking any city in Israel, and that it is working day and night to dig new tunnels and upgrade its resistance capabilities.
Iran is directing surveillance drones over Iraq from an airfield in Baghdad and is supplying Iraqi forces with tons of military equipment and other supplies, according to American officials. Iranian transport planes have been making twice-daily flights to Baghdad with military equipment and supplies, 70 tons per flight, for the Iraqi forces.
"Iran is likely to be playing somewhat of an overarching command role within the central Iraqi military apparatus, with an emphasis on maintaining cohesiveness in Baghdad and the Shia south and managing the reconstitution of Shia militias," said Charles Lister, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar.
The 70,000 people employed by the Palestinian Authority in Gaza before Hamas wrested control of it in 2007 do not go to work but continue to be paid by the PA. To replace them, Hamas hired 42,000 new workers, who were not paid in April and May. The Palestinian prime minister insists he does not have enough money to pay both sets of workers and cannot risk the wrath of donor countries by funneling donated funds to anyone affiliated with Hamas.
Israeli President Shimon Peres, who leaves office after his seven-year term ends this month, is 90 and has worked with 10 U.S. presidents. He says he has also worked - for four decades - for a peace deal with the Palestinians.
"A month ago, the powers presented a very hard line on the matter of uranium enrichment and agreed to leave only a symbolic enrichment capacity of 300 to 500 centrifuges, to give the Iranians an honorable out," said one senior Israeli official who deals with the Iranian nuclear program. "But after the last round, we became concerned that the powers hinted to the Iranians that they'd be willing to talk about a much larger number of centrifuges remaining in Iran's hands."
According to Israel's information, the powers' new stance is that Iran can retain 2,000 to 4,000 centrifuges. "In that case, Iran would remain a nuclear threshold state," he said. "It would retain an enrichment capability that would enable it, within a short time, to break out to a nuclear bomb the moment it decided to do so."
In the past few months, dramatic changes have taken place to the east of Israel. The limited comeback by the pro-Iranian regime in Damascus, the growing Iranian influence in Baghdad and the military strengthening of Hizbullah have created a fairly strong radical Shi'ite axis. Moreover, the sudden emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant brought onto the stage savagely extremist Sunni forces.
A month ahead of the deadline for the current negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 over a comprehensive nuclear deal, the stated positions of the two sides could not be further apart. This negotiation is fundamentally not about achieving some middle ground on the nuclear issues. Rather, the onus is on Iran to adhere to international demands after it violated its NPT commitments, cheated and deceived, and lost the trust of the international community.
The Obama administration has been bending over backwards since October 2013 so as not to upset Iran, with the aim of preempting any Iranian attempt to blame it of acting in bad faith. Yet despite the U.S. administration's best efforts, Iran is poised to blame it anyway.
There are some 200 nations in the world. Many of them are very bad actors: dictatorships, terror states. And it is tiny, democratic Israel that is the focus of the world's hostility. If Israel did not exist, the UN might not have much to do. Last year the General Assembly adopted 25 resolutions against particular countries - 21 were against Israel.
Anti-Israel boycotts perpetuate two myths. The first is that the Arab-Israeli conflict is Israel's fault, instead of the fault of people who refuse to coexist. The second is that the Arabs' lamentable condition is Israel's fault, instead of the fault of people who refuse to reform, liberalize, or democratize.
Three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped by Hamas operatives over a week ago. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, ideologically committed to an extremist anti-Semitic, anti-Western agenda that sees the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an endless religious war. Hamas is not pursuing a Palestinian state alongside Israel and offers no hope for peace.
Hamas agreed to the recent "reconciliation" with Fatah in order to reconstitute its terrorist capabilities in the West Bank. Its desire to participate in elections while remaining a terrorist organization is meant primarily to abuse the Palestinian elections in order to gain legitimacy for its extremist objectives.
Israel is not opposed to Palestinian unity for peace, or Palestinian unity for democracy. What we, and the world, should not support is Palestinian unity for terrorism. If the Fatah-Hamas agreement produces elections in which an unreformed Hamas can participate, the result will legitimize Palestinian terrorism.
In 2006, an unrepentant Hamas was allowed to participate in elections and surprised many by its victory. Then, as now, Hamas sought to use the democratic process to advance a radically anti-democratic agenda. By now we all should be wiser.
The price of entry in elections must include a commitment to key democratic principles such as state monopoly over the use of force, the peaceful resolution of disputes, and the renunciation of terrorist doctrines. In the absence of that, the result is to offer an unreformed Hamas the opportunity to repeat its 2006 victory.

The Meduza TITAN, the first fully controllable, lightweight, 3D precision single HD camera with two 1080p CMOS sensors, a solution for 3D television production, will feature a 3ality Technica™ integrated control system, it was announced today by Chris Cary, CEO of the Irvine based Meduza Systems™ Ltd, developer of the TITAN. The Meduza TITAN will debut * at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention, April 16-19 in Las Vegas. *Booth #C12030. 3ality Technica™, based in Burbank, CA, is the leading 3D technology company that designs, develops and markets the highest level of full 3D technology and systems, including proprietary software.
"We are thrilled to help realize Meduza Systems' idea of complete simplicity in integrating the THC motor drive into their new TITAN 3D lightweight HD camera," says 3ality Technica SVP Stephen Pizzo.
The perfected integrated control system from 3ality Technica provides a plug and play interface that is built directly into the TITAN and will control motorized focus, iris, convergence and IA, either with the 3ality Technica hand controller (THC) connected to the camera body, via wireless transmission, or via Bluetooth from an iPad™ or an iPhone™, using 3Ality Technica's GUI. Featuring two 1080p CMOS sensors, TITAN is capable of both 1080p and 2k resolution as well as a full range of frame rates, from 24 fps to 60 fps in 10 bit, and has fast, fully motorized inter-axial and convergence, both essential to professional quality S3D film making. Convergence is accurate to 1/1000 of a degree and the inter-axial to 1 micron. At just under 5 kilos (11 lbs.), the robust and compact TITAN body is crafted from solid pieces of aluminum for lightness, water resistance and durability. The 3ality control capability will allow the TITAN to work as a complete stand alone or fit seamlessly into existing 3ality Technica systems, providing effortless portability.
At NAB, Meduza will also feature the Delta 4K S3D Meduza Lenses, the first built for purpose, matched pair, 3D lenses. The lens set has been designed and built to deliver super high precision, not only in the glass, but also in the motorized focus and iris controls. The lenses of the series are not only uniquely optically matched and sold in pairs, but each lens has been constructed to fit into a compact 38mm wide mechanical barrel to allow for very close inter-axial positioning for the Meduza cameras. The lens form factor has been upgraded by Meduza's Chief Mechanical Engineer Al Mayer to marry with his TITAN camera system design and be more flexible in integrating with other systems.
The Meduza Camera System internally incorporates the motor drive unit of the 3ality Technica THC (Technica Hand Controller) for IA, Convergence, Focus, and Iris control. The internal system can be controlled either hard-wired or wireless using the THC hand controllers or an IPAD™ APP readily available. The THC includes an onboard battery mount for Sony's Info-Lithium rechargeable, as well as a Mico-SD card slot for easy firmware uploads, and convenient capture of the user's specific parameters.
TITAN is priced at $55,000 US and can be ordered with either C mount or the new Meduza mount for the Meduza matched pair prime lens series (Delta 4KS3D). Pre-order customers can expect delivery of the TITAN in July/August.
Known as the company who brought the world "U2 3D" in 2007, 3ality Technica is considered the birthplace of the current 3D revolution. Headquartered in Burbank, California, 3ality Technica is the leading innovator, manufacturer, and provider of stereoscopic 3D (S3D) production systems and technology. The company's product line is comprised of both hardware and software combined to produce the most accurate and advanced image processing systems in the world. These advanced systems are widely used by leading Hollywood filmmakers, the music industry, and by major broadcasters.
2012 will see more 3ality Technica theatrical releases than any other year including the recently released "Underworld 4 Awakenings" and "The Darkest Hour." Upcoming Hollywood titles that have utilized 3ality Technica's advanced S3D image systems include "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "The Great Gatsby," "Prometheus," "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Jack the Giant Killer," and "Oz: The Great and Powerful." Recognized as the industry leader in providing 3D production development and support on a wide array of projects, 3ality Technica is also noted for its amazingly true-to-life 3D image capture for artists such as the Black-eyed Peas, Britney Spears, and Kenny Chesney.

Cultural Critique, Silent Film Style
These five '20s-era silent films, newly available on Blu-ray, bring key moments in history vividly to life.
By Michael Barrett / 16 March 2016
As more silent films are restored to dazzling clarity through the wonders of digital technology, more people are watching them today than at any time since the talkies came in. They're realizing two things: 1. Silent movies are a great art form unto themselves that envelop you in their spell, and 2. they give us a valuable window into their historical moment.
In other words, they may be "dated", but not in a bad way. They are poignant time capsules of attitudes, hopes, fears and dreams from an era of not so long ago. These five films, now on Blu-ray, reveal details about life in America, Germany and France between one colossal war and another. Oh yeah, they're also funny, exciting and entertaining.
What: The Tramp (Charles Chaplin) discovers an abandoned baby boy and raises him for five years without legal authority. They engage in dubious shenanigans, include window-breaking and streetfighting, until the tyke (Jackie Coogan) is wrested away by authorities for an orphanage amid much crying and struggling. Will the long-lost mother (Edna Purviance) rediscover her child? Along the way, the Tramp has a fanciful dream of an angel-winged heaven going sour. Running less than an hour, this masterpiece still works seamlessly and fires on all emotional cylinders.
Wherefore: Chaplin produced, directed, wrote and starred in this film and later wrote music for what wasn't only his first feature but the longest feature starring a clown from slapstick shorts. As the saying goes, they thought it couldn't be done. Its tremendous success cemented his reputation as the most beloved star in the world and proved a formula of mixing laughs with shameless tear-stained sentiment.
This 4K digital restoration, completed in 2015, looks eye-poppingly sharp. It's Chaplin's 1972 re-release, which drops three scenes (included as a bonus) and adds his score. This Criterion edition adds commentary, interviews, a home-made short with Chaplin and Coogan, and an insightful demonstration of the art of undercranking.
Speedy (1928)
What: Speedy is the nickname of Harold (Harold Lloyd), who never gets depressed just because his baseball mania keeps him from holding a job. Speedy also describes the pace of New York in the Roaring '20s, with its subways and skyscrapers and millions of citizens on the go. The last horse-drawn trolley car seems out of step, and a rail company uses violent trickery to cheat Harold's girlfriend's dad out of his license. Harold organizes the melting-pot neighborhood to save the day and shows how fast the trolley can move in the big chase. Babe Ruth makes a hilarious cameo.
Wherefore: By 1928, Harold Lloyd was the biggest comedy star and producer of his own films. The hook for Speedy is that it was shot in New York with real gawking bystanders, primarily at Coney Island (a major sequence) and Greenwich Village before wrapping up on a huge street set in Los Angeles.
This 4K digital restoration is perfection, allowing us to read street signs and pick up details like Lloyd giving himself the finger in a distorted mirror. There's agreeable commentary, a look at the film's locales, a bonus short, home movies narrated by Lloyd's granddaughter, and a wealth of Babe Ruth newsreels.
Spies (1928)
What: After Metropolis proved a financial disappointment for Germany's UFA Studios, Fritz Lang regrouped by returning to his popular thrillers, this time with a generic title to imply the ultimate spy film. Lang had a knack for defining genres in this way, as witness his later Hollywood film Cloak and Dagger. In Spies, he even uses the "bad guy" actor (Rudolph Klein-Rogge) from his Dr. Mabuse films as another criminal genius and master of disguise.
Matinee idol Willi Fritsch plays the iconic pretty-boy hero, actually a master spy known only by a number: 326. Equally blonde and glamorous Gerda Maurer makes her film debut as the bad spy who, upon meeting 326, instantly loses her heart and switches sides. This time audiences showed up even though the epic runs two and a half hours, or the length of a modern James Bond film.
Wherefore: The plot makes not the slightest sense nor the slightest difference. The film is about three things: 1. constant movement and reversal in the tradition of Louis Feuillade's French serials, combined with Lang's sense of vast and sinister forces controlling the characters; 2. the notion that a bank president in a wheelchair is actually a diabolical (Communist?) criminal mastermind, which tells you something of how the inflationary Weimar Germany regarded bankers in particular and capitalists in general; and 3. above all, its own sense of lavish melodrama, in which every posture is writ as large as the sets.
This 2013 restoration, approximating the German theatrical version as closely as possible, looks very fine, and a lengthy making-of covers the main points of production and history.
Woman in the Moon (1929)
What: Having revived his box-office credibility, Fritz Lang and screenwriter-wife Thea von Harbou returned to science fiction with an even longer and more visually impressive epic. The gist of Woman in the Moon is that its heroine (Gerda Maurer again) is engaged to the wrong guy, and the titular trip makes the scales fall from her eyes. Willi Fritsch is the bruised and lovelorn hero. They travel to the moon in their proper attire (ties and cardigans) and find air and gold.
Despite these fancies and absurd personal crises, this was the first serious rocket drama, anticipating Destination Moon and the Apollo program.
Wherefore: The first hour is wasted on the romantic triangle and industrial espionage from more villainous capitalists before the second act finally gives the countdown (a device invented by Lang) and launching of history's first multi-stage rocket. That was conceived by scientific consultant Hermann Oberth with practical aide from 18-year-old Wernher von Braun, whose rocket program would soon become a military secret, leading to the film's banning by the Nazi government.
This print is full of scratches and debris, but the 2K scanning gives the image detail, depth and texture that allows us to ignore the damage. A short making-of discusses the science involved.
L'Inhumaine (1924)
What: Director Marcel L'Herbier was a major and now sinfully neglected pioneer of art cinema, and this is among his masterpieces. The titular "inhuman woman" (opera star Georgette Leblanc, who co-produced) is a modern singer and intellectual diva who cares zip about the men who hit on her, including a magnate, a revolutionary and a Hindu prince. When a young scientist (artist Jacque Catelain, impossibly pretty and doe-eyed) rushes to commit suicide over her, it's not the banal come-on about taming a proud woman that at first it seems. It turns into a symbolic sci-fi fable about the union of the artistic and scientific in which the woman retains her integrity while finding humanity, all amid many disorienting, delirious, experimental effects.
Wherefore: This movie's amazing designs are the work of four prominent figures (Alberto Cavalcanti, Claude Autant-Lara, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Fernand Léger) with elements from more artists. Some of the original screenings were apparently as contentious as the riotous performance depicted in one scene, and which recalls the scandal of The Rite of Spring. Having seen this film in Paris 25 years ago, I can attest that it's overwhelming in a theatre.
This 2015 renewal, scanned at 4K with restored color tints, is jaw-dropping — as though shot yesterday. The only notable absence is Darius Milhaud's lost 1924 score; instead we have two new scores more "expressive" than appropriate. There's a short making-of and a piece about one of the scores.

In this day and age, enterprise messaging is no longer constraint to tedious and tiresome emails. Organizations across the globe have become collaborative over new messaging platforms such as Slack, WhatsApp, Flock and many others. Many companies that deal with developing messaging tools are struggling to be heard in this space.
Communications that take place over emails is likely to lose its efficiency. With the reliable messaging tool, the same can be done better and faster. Hence, the messaging apps seem to be the go-to tool for many businesses to enhance collaboration and ensure successful business chatting.
Emails and messaging app, both are universal and used by a large number of businesses. But, there is a breakdown between them. The key differentiators are the easy UI and speed of an instant messaging app. Besides, messaging on the app is fluid and enables users to chat or make audio or video calls instantly.
Every different app comes with different features and specifications. Talking about Flock, users who log in Flock from the same enterprise domain are able to access others from the company whereas Slack doesn't allow this feature. In the Slack app, one cannot be a part of the conversation until or unless he is invited to a group in order to chat. Furthermore, people automatically get added to the team on Flock. Given that fact, Flock is in the race of top competitors to slack.
If you want to implement this new form of electronic communication within your organization, have a look at some of the key benefits.
Creating to-dos – Before making a deal with any of these companies, make sure the tool allows users to create to-dos and assign responsibilities among team members. Besides, the app can allows you to track completion of the task as there are platforms available in the market that let you enjoy such features.
Conducting Opinion polls: Not only can you assign works to your team members, but also enables you to quickly conduct opinion polls and or do mini surveys about projects or tasks with real-time results.
Google Drive Integration – Furthermore, the collaborative apps let you integrate other apps such as Google Drive into your dashboard and thereby, you can easily access your drive account on the go. You can choose to allow access to creating files, reading or giving permission, etc. The best app provides a completing UI access to access your Google Drive.
Mailing – A high-quality messaging app also allows you to send emails to all the group members in a particular channel in a single click.
Video conferencing: One of the benefits that email doesn't allow is conducting video conferencing. The messaging apps allow you to make video/audio calls and hold conferences or online meeting with people. Besides, you can also share your screen with the attendees.
Code snippet sharing: Apart from the above, the apps allow developers to download, edit, forward, and reuse code within the messaging app itself. However, this feature is available in Flock app only.
Considering all the factors, we come to conclude that messaging platforms are useful for today's businesses. If you want to something more or better collaboration within your organization, a messaging tool is the right means to be.
