Compensation can't change the past, but it can empower your future?
Coming to terms with emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, regardless of when it occurred, can be difficult. While no amount of money can erase the harm caused, compensation may be available to help you access the care and support services you need.
If you've been a victim of abuse whilst in the care of an institution, you deserve compensation.
"In a widely anticipated and publicised move, the Prime Minister has recently delivered a national apology to survivors of institutional child sexual abuse.
The apology is a step in the healing process for many survivors.
At Maliganis Edwards Johnson we have the experience to help you through this process with understanding and compassion.

Beloved father of Zinaida Lakshtanov and grandfather of Leonid Lakshtanov. Further survived by other relatives and friends.

Raising other peoples children always makes for interesting conversations. More often than not, it's a bad interesting and not good at all. Sometimes I hear happy, fun stories and they're awesome but they're few and far between.
Some of the stories sound like they're exactly that, stories. There is no way that they can actually be real, there just can't be. But then I learn that they're true.
Many times I want to throw-up, or scream or hit someone or just cry and cry. But I can't, instead I just sit and listen quietly and try to digest what I'm hearing. I try and figure out ways to help them see that their stories aren't normal and that life can be so much better.
"dreams" are things that you and I take for granted. Food, shelter, new shoes. Or that Daddy will be out of jail soon.
It's hard to do any future planning when you don't know what their future holds. Especially when they're begging to live with you for always, as long as they can just visit their Mom every now and then. And knowing full well, that they will be going home again.
I wish I could find the words to empower them for when they're no longer with me. But it's hard to teach right from wrong when to do so would mean that you're saying that their Mom is wrong. But how do I say it's not okay that Mommy locks you up, without actually saying that? How do I say that it's never okay to choke someone when they say that was Daddy's favourite game? How do I teach them that it's a parent's job to take care of their children when they answer with "that's not how it works in my house". How do I help them feel comfortable in my world, when it's completely opposite to all they know?
It's been 14 years of trying to find the right words, and I still feel like I haven't found them.

Federal tax reform could help mitigate state-level budget cuts this year
Brianne Pfannenstiel
An influx of cash resulting from federal tax reform is helping to shore up Iowa's budget, potentially mitigating the need for funding cuts to state agencies and services this year.
Iowa's three-person revenue estimating body met Friday to review the numbers and discuss their effects on the state budget, which in December was facing a roughly $27 million shortfall for the current year.
"After today's REC meeting, we have a much clearer picture of what adjustments are truly necessary for the (current year's) budget," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rep. Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford.
Both chambers and the governor's office already were projecting about $11 million in increased revenue from federal tax reform. The numbers released by the Revenue Estimating Conference Friday show the state is expected to gain $33 million in new revenue this year. That's largely the result of federal tax reform, but not entirely.
If all of the new revenue is used to plug the shortfall, that leaves legislators to come up with at least $10 million in cuts or adjustments — far less than what the House and Senate previously have proposed.
The House and the Senate have yet to agree on how to cover the shortfall.
"There still needs to be some reductions in funding," said David Roederer, director of the Iowa Department of Management. "And it's what the comfort level will be for the governor and the Legislature as to what the ending balance needs to be."
The ending balance leaves a cushion in the budget in case revenue comes in lower or expenses are higher than officials anticipate.
Senate Republicans have pushed for greater cuts that leave a bigger ending balance, while House Republicans have been reluctant to make cuts above and beyond what's necessary to balance the budget.
"The latest REC estimate doesn't change much for us," Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Charles Schneider, R-West Des Moines, said in a statement. "Taxpayers expect us to be responsible with their dollars. That means leaving a healthy ending balance in the general fund so that we don't have to transfer money out of the reserve accounts to cover a shortfall."
House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, said at a press conference last week that her caucus "doesn't see a need to cut out of departments unnecessary cuts."
"They want to make sure that people have the resources they need to do their work that we've asked them to do and still balance the budget," she said.
Democrats were critical, arguing the cuts could have been avoided altogether through better management.
"You can't put lipstick on a pig," said Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee. "No matter how Statehouse Republicans try to spin it, they still have a giant budget mess on their hands."
Both chambers have moved ahead with efforts to cut state taxes. A provision in Iowa's tax code known as federal deductibility means that when federal taxes go down, the amount Iowans owe in state taxes go up. Republican leaders and Gov. Kim Reynolds say the increased state revenue should be returned to taxpayers beginning in 2019.

The Revenue Estimating Conference is projecting revenue to grow by about 6.4 percent over this year's revenue. That's "just about exclusively" the result of federal tax reform, said Roederer.
"It looks like there's a lot of additional revenue coming in, which is a true statement," he said. "But that's not because of organic growth that came in."

Marvel Buying X-Men Rights Would Be Bad For Fans
Disney and Marvel Studios acquiring the rights to X-Men from 20th Century Fox would be bad for fans of either cinematic universe.
by Molly Freeman
UPDATE: Disney's purchase of Fox has been made official. The original article follows.
Disney and Marvel Studios acquiring the rights to X-Men from 20th Century Fox would be bad for fans of either cinematic universe. The last decade has seen a massive rise in popularity for superheroes, both in film and on TV, due in no small part part to the success of Fox's X-Men franchise and Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, as fans may already know, the movie rights for various Marvel characters are split among three major Hollywood studios. Fox owns the X-Men and Fantastic Four, while Sony holds the rights to Spider-Man and the web-slinging superhero's stable of connected characters; the remaining characters (like The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc) remain with Marvel Studios.
The distribution of Marvel character movie rights among Fox, Sony and Marvel Studios is a complicated matter, made all the more confusing by certain anomalies - like Fox and Marvel each including Quicksilver in their respective universes, or Sony attempting to launch a Spider-Man franchise without Peter Parker. Of course, Sony's deal with Marvel to bring Spider-Man into the MCU was major because it was the first instance of two studios working together to form a more cohesive cinematic world - one that more resembles the comics. Now, with recent news that Disney was in talks to acquire Fox, it seemed Marvel Studios was one step closer to uniting all its characters in one cinematic universe (even though those talks have since ceased).
Related: Which Studios Own the Rights to Marvel's Characters?
Unlike the deal between Sony and Marvel Studios, in which the former retains the rights to Spider-Man and the hero's stable of characters, if Disney were to acquire Fox, then the rights to all X-Men characters would be under the same umbrella as The Avengers. While that means Wolverine could finally suit up with The Avengers - one of many crossovers fans have dreamed about for a number of years - Disney and Marvel acquiring the X-Men movie rights would actually be bad for fans.
What Happens to the X-Men Franchise?
Of course, the particulars of the Disney/Fox deal, while it was still being discussed, are unknown at this point. What we do know is that Fox's X-Men franchise has been, on the whole, a success - especially in recent years. Fox's first R-rated X-Men movie, Deadpool, was a massive hit in all corners; the studio followed it up with this year's Logan, another R-rated superhero outing (this time with a Western influence) not connected to the main series of X-Men movies. As a result of the franchise's recent successes, Fox has lined up three outings for 2018: Deadpool 2, a continuation of the main series in X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and the horror flick New Mutants.
Beyond these titles, Fox is also working on an X-Force film, a Gambit solo movie, and Deadpool 3 - not to mention they could be looking to continue the main series with another installment following Dark Phoenix. Plus, New Mutants director Josh Boone pitched a trilogy when he signed on for his own X-Men movie. While Fox's exact slate beyond 2018 is unconfirmed, they have quite a few movies in the works and, given the success they've seen with their releases in recent years, no real reason NOT to continue developing their X-Men franchise. Unlike the failures of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that inspired Sony to strike their deal with Marvel Studios, Fox's recent superhero offerings have reinvigorated its X-Men franchise more than anything else.
So then, if Fox were to be acquired by Disney, what would happen to this X-Men franchise? Well, the 2018 movies would likely be released, since a deal of this magnitude would take time to finalize, but the fates of the other films would be in question. Marvel Studios may choose to scrap everything in development so as to bring the X-Men into the MCU - though that wouldn't happen until Phase 4 launches in 2019 since their movies up to that point are all planned and in various stages of development.
Of course, if the deal had gone through, Marvel may have also chosen to continue on with Fox's Deadpool-starring films (Deadpool 3 & X-Force) considering the character's popularity, perhaps keeping it separate. But whether Marvel were to pick and choose which elements of the X-Men movies they wanted to continue, or scrap Fox's superhero universe entirely in favor of starting fresh (the latter of which seems more likely considering that's what Marvel did with Spider-Man), either way the landscape of superhero movies over the next decade would be changed.

One of our MA in Public History students, Catharine Williams, has been doing a work placement at the National Archives. As part of her work there she produced this blog entry about conscription and conscience in the First World War using the records of the Middlesex Military Tribunal. It's a great piece on the process of applying for military exemption and the reasons given by the men for not going 'to murder and butcher people'. There are also a couple of interesting comments including one by someone who staged a play based on the experiences of a conscientious objector. See here for the post.
The photograph above is of the Conscientious Objectors Commemorative Stone in Tavistock Square, Bloomsbury, London. It is designed to commemorate the struggle of conscientious objectors past and present and was coordinated by the Peace Pledge Union. It was unveiled on May 15th 1994 – International Conscientious Objectors Day.
The Ken Breen scholarship prize for best performance in history at level 3 was awarded to Cherelle Nightingill on the 7th October 2014 by Glenn Richardson. Cherelle was an outstanding undergraduate student who wrote a first class dissertation on Tudor History.
The prize, worth £500, was founded in 2009 by Mr Stephen Gilham in memory of Ken Breen who was previously head of History at St Mary's. Previous winners have included Graeme Ancient, Sam Spranger and Danielle Kemsley.
On Tuesday 1st July the Centre for the Philosophy of History at St Mary's University hosted a symposium on Aesthetics, Postmodernism and the 'Before Now' in conjunction with colleagues from the Philosophies of History network based at Leeds University. The event was well attended by students and academics from different disciplines, and the seven speakers presented papers on an interesting range of topics. Alun Munslow (Prof. Research Fellow at St Mary's University) started the day off with a paper on Irreality and the Aesthetics of Historying in which he applied Goodman's five ways of 'worldmaking' to the subject of irreality and the fictive in the context of historical narratives.
Following Alun was Jouni-Matti Kuukkannen from the University of Oulu, Finland. His paper focused on the objectivity-subjectivity dichotomy. He provided a brief overview of the history of objectivity and main literature in the field before arguing that he preferred to think of objectivity and subjectivity in terms of a sliding scale or axis between the two positions. Narratives occupy different places on the scale and for Jouni-Matti, more creative texts (including innovative histories) are found towards the subjective end of the scale. Following the two panels there was a lively discussion. Lance Pettitt suggested that it might be helpful to think of a third concept, that of collectivity or the authorized perspective in addition to that of subjectivity and objectivity. Keith responded to the idea that objectivity might be equated with neutrality by asking why anyone would ever write a history that was not in their interests, that did not reflect their perspective? Mike Phelan commented that he was persuaded by the arguments of Keith Jenkins and Alun Munslow and then asked, this being the case, why he should continue with his PhD and how he could incorporate their critiques of the traditional epistemologies employed by historians, into his thesis?
The next speaker was Paul Antick (Photographer, Artist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Roehampton). After providing some background information on the British massacre of 24 Chinese-Malay rubber plantation workers near Batang Kali in 1848 he read a section of a draft from his new project on the massacre. His very innovative documentary-fiction or 'historying' project centres on the activities of a fictional amateur anthropologist named Willing and a photographer called Smith who go to Malaysia to visit Batang Kali, and record narratives of the event. His work addressed questions of the authority of eyewitnesses, the status of story tellers, the way narratives are structured and how we deal with plural stories. It also challenged the conventions and expectations surrounding academic history papers and provided an example of an alternative type of theoretically aware, self-reflexive history. The final paper before lunch was by Helena Hammond (Senior Lecturer in Dance at the University of Roehampton). Her paper began with an extract from Alexander Sokurov's film Russian Ark and then explored how the power of the film as a politicized vehicle for the performance of history rests on the aesthetics of its 'total art work' vectors fusing visual art, music, dance and dialogue.
Javier López Alós (Lecturer at the University of Leeds) began the afternoon session with a paper on Goya's 'Disaster of War' series of paintings that illustrates aspects of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). He argued that in some ways these paintings act as a forerunner of photojournalism, and that their power derives not from their documentary character, but from the moral message they convey. Adi Efal (Researcher at the University of Cologne) then gave a paper exploring how the concept of 'habitude' could be employed with regard to the past. The questions after this session centered on whether historians should take risks with their narrations of the past or whether prudence and a conservative attitude is more useful. Alun Munslow asked why anyone would want to write a history without taking a risk and also asked whether we should worry about getting things wrong. Keith raised the problem of other minds in the context of historical knowledge and suggested that this is why historians' representations always fail.
Kalle Pihlainen (Academy of Finland Research Fellow at Åbo Akademi University and Adjunct Professor of Historical Theory at the University of Turku) ended the day with a paper that brought Hayden White's narrative constructivist ideas into dialogue with Kenneth Goldsmith's notion of uncreative writing. Specifically he thought that uncreative writing could help historians break free from the logic of re-creation/recreation – historical narratives as a means representing people or events; and historical representations as a form of entertainment, just another part of consumer culture. For example, if historians simply listed items and presented materials without consciously seeking a narrative or meaning then the responsibility for creating meaning would be placed on the readers who would therefore become aware that there are always significant stories that require acknowledgement outside of their own subjective readings.
The day was very enjoyable and provided a good opportunity for affiliates of the centre to meet with some of the organizer of the Philosophies of History network. There was lots of animated discussion and cake. For the record the cakes were: coffee and walnut, a chocolate-digestive refrigerator cake; and ginger and sultana oat cookies. We hope to organize future events in collaboration with our colleagues from Philosophies of History in the near future.


I am currently thinking about adding Nalimov EGTB access to my engine. However, it seems like online resources on how to do it is very limited. I have done quite a bit of research and still haven't figured it out.
According to some few-years-old threads, there should be an archive on Bob's FTP containing the tablebase generator as well as documentation on how to interface it with engines and the probing code. However, right now, I only see the actual tablebase files (3-4-5) on the server.
2) How can I get Mr. Nalimov's permission to use his code in my open source engine?
Looking at the Crafty source, I can KIND OF get the general idea, but I don't think that's enough .
The situation with table bases is unfortunately not optimal.
An open source table base project is more urgently needed than a new open source chess engine, of which there are plenty.
Michel wrote: The situation with table bases is unfortunately not optimal.
There's always Daniel Shawul's free endgame bitbase library. I would encourage every engine author to use it, it's very easy.
Tablebases are probably better for analysis than bitbases, but for playing strength there probably isn't much difference. And bitbases take only a fraction of the disk space required by tablebases.

Dominating the village of Vilabertran is the former Augustinian monastery of Canònica de Santa Maria de Vilabertran. At its heart is its beautiful Romanesque church, the setting for the marriage on 29th October 1295 of Blanca d'Anjou, to King Jaume II of Aragon, who chose the town for the simple reason that royal weddings bestowed tax-free status on the town hosting it, and Vilabertran was small enough for this not to be a loss in income for the royal coffers.The church is crowned by a magnificent Lombard belfry, consisting of three tiers of double arched windows on all four sides, and has a tranquil XII-century cloister.The interior's highlight is an ornate XIVth-century gold and silver cross, almost 2m high. The church is the venue for Vilabertran's prestigious Schubertiada festival a series of concerts devoted to Schubert, held in late August and early September.

Charlize Theron Might Star in DARK PLACES
Movie Charlize TheronCasting about 6 years ago by Joey Paur
It looks like Chazlize Theron could end up starring in the psychological thriller Dark Places, based on the book by Gillian Flynn. Amy Adams was in talks to star in the film at one point, but for one reason or another didn't end up doing it. The movie is supposed to be directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner (Sarah's Key) who also wrote the script.
The story revolves around a woman who, at the age of 7, survived the massacre of her family and testified against her brother as the murderer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club, a secret-society obsessed with solving notorious crimes, bring her to question and confront the truth of what took place that day.
Theron is a great actress, and this could end up being a great role for her if she takes it. The actress just finished shooting Mad Max: Fury Road.
Here's the description from the book:
I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ.
Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas." As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived–and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.
The Kill Club is a macabre secret society obsessed with notorious crimes. When they locate Libby and pump her for details–proof they hope may free Ben–Libby hatches a plan to profit off her tragic history. For a fee, she'll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club . . . and maybe she'll admit her testimony wasn't so solid after all.
As Libby's search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the narrative flashes back to January 2, 1985. The events of that day are relayed through the eyes of Libby's doomed family members–including Ben, a loner whose rage over his shiftless father and their failing farm have driven him into a disturbing friendship with the new girl in town. Piece by piece, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started–on the run from a killer.

Meaning and analysis
write a note
"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science." Albert Einstein, The world as I see it
"How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it..." Albert Einstein, The world as I see it
"They blended religion and art and science because, at base, science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle." Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles
"The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful. What the beautiful is is another question." James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
"But starvation, unfortunately, didn't improve art. It only hindered it." Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"It isn't only art that's incompatible with happiness; it's also science. Science is dangerous; we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled." Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
"Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce." John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
"In science, as in art, and, as I believe, in every other sphere of human activity, there may be wisdom in a multitude of counsellors, but it is only in one or two of them. And, in scientific inquiry, at any rate, it is to that one or two that we..." Thomas Henry Huxley, The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century

I left the Lib Dems last year after having been a member and activist for just over 5 years. I learned a lot during that time and I think much of it would apply to other parties too.
And I don't just means the party membership fees. There are raffles, fund raising events, dinners etc. all of which seek to raise funds for the local party. My local party did not have many active members so the burden for all of this fell disproportionately on those of us who were active. I know there was one member in particular, a stalwart of the party who donated significant amounts of their own money to help keep things going.
But there's more. I stood as a candidate in a council by-election in 2010 and that cost money too in petrol travelling back and forth all over the ward over several weeks as well as on other unexpected things such as buying special chemical hand warmers to stop my hands from seizing up knocking on so many doors!
I'm not saying it cost a huge amount of money but I have a decent job and my own car. For those without those advantages I imagine it would be even harder.
In the aforementioned by-election one of the things I heard time and again on the doorstep was that politicians are all on the make. As this was being directed at me as a "representative of politics" I felt duty-bound to rebut this claim. I'm not sure how successful it was because as I was trying to get elected to the borough council there seemed to be a residual suspicion that it was in order to get the money. It certainly was not why I was doing it. For a start I knew I had virtually no chance of winning as this is a safe Tory area. But what it did was make me sympathise very much with those activists, especially for the smaller parties who slog their guts out for years and in some cases decades with very little prospect of winning seats. I did it for a relatively short period and it increased my respect for all activists.
Going to party conference (and I think I ended up going to about 7 of them in total in my 5 years) was a very nice experience. There are lots of friendly faces and you know that if you strike up a conversation with someone in a fringe meeting or around the venue you are likely (although not guaranteed!) to share some core political values. As time went on and I got to know more and more people in the party there would come a point when simply wandering around for 5 minutes I would bump into people I knew and often go for a drink or a bite to eat in a completely impromptu way.
Having spent the first 34 years of my life as not a member of any party this was a new and welcome experience. It is the thing I am probably going to miss the most now I am no longer a member.
So having been obsessed with politics since I was about 16 years old and having fairly quickly established myself as a successful political blogger (winning the Best New Lib Dem Blog of the Year in September 2009) I perhaps somewhat arrogantly thought I had what it took to get on the approved list and have a tilt at being a candidate for parliament somewhere (unwinnable) in 2010.
So I applied to go for the half day assessment at Cowley Street and dutifully toddled along expecting that my many years of watching BBC Question Time and reading political opinion pieces would stand me in very good stead.
I could not really have been more wrong.
To be fair to myself I was pretty good at the media task but given I was being asked to respond to the previous week's pre-budget statement by Alistair Darling and I had actually been on Sky News two days before doing exactly that it would have been pretty surprising if I had not been good at it. Of course media skills are an important part of what a candidate needs to be able to do but frankly much more important, certainly in getting elected are the other tasks that I was set such as an "in tray exercise" where you have to decide how to respond to a number of different scenarios as a candidate or a group exercise where I had to role-play within a team (involving some of the other candidates) as if I was on a council committee. Not to mention the "policy and values in action" exam where I had to interpret party policy through the prism of my experience and explain how I would put it into action.
I was pretty bad at these tasks but particularly in the in-tray exercise. I had a very long debriefing with the chap who oversaw the whole process after I failed to get onto the approved list and it was clear that most of my answers were simply plain wrong. In my (partial) defence I had never been in a council meeting or had to deal with any of the scenarios as a candidate so I simply applied my world experience from running my own company etc. It's pretty clear there are a specific set of skills that have to be learned.
Firstly I am interested in national politics. When I stood in the by-election I did enjoy talking to people when I was canvassing but only really when it strayed into national issues which as a council candidate I probably should have been steering away from to talk about speed-bumps and dog mess. Which frankly do not really float my boat. And in order to make any headway in getting to a position where I could have had a shot at anything at a national level I'd have had to spend years doing the local stuff, trying to get elected and learning the ropes of everything I had got so wrong during the candidate vetting session.
Secondly I simply do not have the patience to spend thousands of hours of my time doing all of that work over years and years. I have a huge amount of respect for the people who can and do do this but I am now certain I am not one of them. I have a wife, a job, business interests, friends and family (spread all over the country) and various hobbies. There is just not space personally for me to do all of the things that would have been necessary to make headway in the world of elected politics.
As I said in my piece when I left the Lib Dems I am still passionately interested in politics but I have other priorities in my life at the moment and am happy outside of a party. That may change in the future and I may join the fray again some day but it is very likely to be a smaller party or campaigning group and my focus would be on the issues that matter most to me.
I learned a lot in my 5 and bit years as a Lib Dem and for anyone interested in politics I would definitely advise them to join a party and see how you get on. You may well find it suits you better than I ultimately did.


The largest city in Colorado, Denver boasts nearly 70,000 more residents than the entire state of Wyoming. With more than 635,000 people living in an area less than 154 square miles, crime is one of Denver's ongoing challenges. In 2013, out of a survey of 350 U.S metropolitan areas, Denver had the 134th highest crime rate, and according to a recent Huffington Post article, crime rates all across the U.S. are rising for the first time in nearly 20 years. One of the cheapest and most effective crime deterrents that most security experts recommend to homeowners and businesses is installing adequate lighting. There a number of outdoor lighting options that homeowners and businesses can install to help deter crime, each offering a different level of security depending on your needs.
For those looking to increase security around their home or business without negatively impacting their building's appearance, decorative landscape lighting is one solution. Designed to highlight the landscaping and architectural features of homes and businesses, this type of lighting is used primarily to enhance the nighttime appearance of a home, building or space. While decorative outdoor lighting doesn't provide as much security as other forms of outdoor lighting, it interferes the least with your existing decor.
Although utility lighting was not specifically designed to provide added security, because they often fill an area with light criminals will typically steer clear of areas with ample utility lighting. In some cases, utility lights are left on all night such as in the case of parking lots or street lights. This provides more security, but also consumes much more energy and contributes to light pollution. Utility lights that are turned off when they aren't needed, such as in the case of porch lights or stadium lights, usually to save energy; however, they only provide added security when they are on.
Much like utility lights, security lights are designed to flood an area with light. The major difference between utility lights and security lights, however, is that security lights are able to turn themselves on and off when they sense a possible intruder. Connected to a special sensor that can detect motion, security lights are usually positioned towards areas around a home or business that are the most susceptible to criminal activity. When the security light's motion detector senses the intruder, it turns the security lighting on, in most cases causing the criminal to flee. Security lights provide the best protection while consuming the least amount of power.
If you live in Denver and are looking to increase the security of your home or business inexpensively, contact APower Electric Service and let us help. Our team of licensed and insured electricians can help design and install a security or outdoor lighting system for your home or business to suit your needs. Best of all with APower Electric Service on the job, you can rest assured knowing your new outdoor lighting is safe and guaranteed. Don't wait until criminals strike to protect your home or business. Contact APower Electric Service now. Call 720.364.8616.

How the London Underground compares to other metro systems around the world
I mean, obviously the Tube is the best
Ellie McKinnellAudience Editor
Where is the Tube in the global rankings?
Londoners moan about the London Underground all the time, but if a New Yorker were to slag it off they'd be in trouble.
We have the Night Tube, Oyster cards, WiFi and dogs - so surely compared to other countries across the world our subway system is pretty good.
Well, Essential Living has sat down and compared 10 of the busiest metro systems based on eight factors that travellers find to be the most important - and it's very interesting to see how the Tube compares to the rest.
Overall, taking into account all the factors measured, the London Underground comes in fifth, beaten by the subways of Seoul, Shanghai, Tokyo and Mexico City.
The lowest scoring were the Paris Metro, Beijing Subway and the Moscow Metro - quite surprising really.
Busiest
It might feel like it couldn't get any more packed on the Tube, but if you live in Beijing you know it can - it has a whopping 38 billion passengers a year.
We come in fourth, behind Shanghai and Tokyo, with 2.6 billion passengers a year.
The Madrid Metro carries just over 657 million people each year – that's 5,000 per cent fewer passengers the Beijing system!
These days, we'd expect all major cities to have an accessible transit system, but unfortunately they don't.
Accessibility was assessed with a points-based system - each subway was given points for the number of stations with step-free access, lifts and escalators.
Seoul comes out on top, followed by Madrid and Shanghai, while the Tube comes in a shameful sixth place.
The Paris Metro is the worst with only 15 out of 303 stations having step-free access.
Pet-friendliness
Yay - London comes out top on this measure. It allows dogs to travel for free as long as they are on a lead, as well as smaller animals in suitable carriers.
In Beijing, Mexico City and Shanghai no pets are allowed full stop. We're a nation of animal lovers after all.
The 5 improvements coming to the overcrowded South Kensington London Underground station
Hilarious footage shows how Londoners first reacted to London Underground barriers
Most convenient
Scored on how often they're open, turns out other countries have better than our beloved Night Tube.
New York's subway is open 24/7, while second place goes to Madrid, which is open for 20 hours 30 minutes, and Moscow, open for 19 hours 30 minutes.
We come in fourth - open for 19 hours when the Night Tube isn't running.
This is where London falls to the bottom of the table - not a surprise for those who take the underground every day.
A single ride across zones 1-9 costs £4.90, compared to the equivalent of 20p on top-performing Mexico City Metro. Meanwhile, a monthly ticket is £361.40 compared to ninth place Tokyo Metro at £120.55.
On the plus side we have contactless payments - only 60 per cent of systems in the study do.
17 of the weirdest things ever seen on the London Underground
The 9 types of people you will find on the London Underground Night Tube
Scored on the level of comfort on offer to passengers, including ventilation and public bathrooms, London came out on top with a score of 2.55 out of 10 - more telling about how shocking the other metro systems are than how good ours is.
63 per cent of stations in the Underground have public toilets, compared to 16 per cent on the Paris Metro and 11 per cent on the New York Subway.
The Moscow Metro and Mexico City Metro both scored zero.
Strongest infrastructure
You might not consider this important, but good infrastructure means efficient journeys and fewer damaged lines.
Join the Mind The Gap group
We've created a Facebook group for people who travel on London's bus, rail, Underground, Overground and DLR services.
We will keep you informed about the latest news that affects your daily commute to work, as well as at the weekend.
We'll also let you know in advance if there are any roadworks, railworks or closures you should know about, or if there are any problems on the city's tube network.
Join the group here.
Each system was scored based on its basic infrastructure, such as age of the system, kilometers of track and average speed.
The London Underground came in sixth - the oldest by far, and with the slowest top speed of 62km/h. On the plus side we have 4,100 trains - beaten only by New York, Shanghai, Beijing and Moscow.
Data correct as of January 27, 2020, combining information from a range of reputable sources such as the official metro/subway websites in each location and Wikipedia.

PhenQ is the new wonder drug. No, no do not compare it with viagra or expect similar results, it is a weight loss drug that is used extensively by people that are suffering from obesity and weight gain issues. The all natural ingredients that the manufacturer claims to have used are not a secret at all. While many of them have effects that can result in weight loss, there is no scientific evidence that it can cure overweight or conditions of obesity. Apart from the fat burning, metabolism stimulating ingredients present in the product, it also has calcium carbonate that can strengthen your bones and reduce fat accumulation.
If you consider the ingredients that are advertised by the manufacturer, then they are all safe with minimal or no side effects as such. Apart from that if other sorts of ingredients are used in the product then it may have side effects. Current analysis of the product shows that it is completely safe for consumption. You can get more details about the product on the website https://dietarious.com/phenq-reviews-revealed/. Here you can get the details about the product, its pros, cons, side effects, customer feedback, before after effects etc.
The main reason for the success of the product is because it can increase metabolism and curbs the person's cravings for sugar and eating. This can result in weight loss over a period of time, do not expect sudden and immediate changes. Apart from that one must also adopt lifestyle changes and do a little bit of exercise in order to increase the process of weight loss.
According to research and studies that have been done by nutritionists and researchers, and also as per the customer feedback, it is completely safe and proper in order to take PhenQ tablet for weight loss. Even https://dietarious.com/phenq-reviews-revealed/ this website confirms the genuinity of the product and there are several other websites that have given positive ratings to the product. But you can source the product only from online stores and it is not available for offline sales.
If you are looking for weight loss with low side effects then surely you can opt for this natural product. But if you expect faster results then opt for something else, but be ready for side effects too.

It is extremely refreshing to see a balance reached in the field of domestic abuse, i.e., that violence is more or less equal between men and women. I operate a Domestic Violence program for couples only (Native in orientation and philosophy) in Terrace, B.C. Out of 126 people involved in our program we found the violence to be mutual both in degree and numbers. We have also faced serious opposition from a small but vocal group of non-native women over the last five years.

International Family Law: A Selective Resource Guide
Family law has traditionally been an area of private law governed by rules local to a given jurisdiction and not cognizable as a subject for international agreement. In recent years, however, principally through the United Nations and the Hague Conference on Private International Law, a movement to harmonize some aspects of family law across national regimes and to avoid the harmful human consequences of conflicts of law in this area has resulted in several major international instruments.

Weekend Movies: Boys Are from Venus, Men Are from Mars
Ridley Scott's highly anticipated sci-fi survival movie is technically the only new wide release of the week, but the nationwide expansion of Emily Blunt's gritty cartel-busting film hopes to steal away an audience of its own.
Drew Goddard adapted Andy Weir's popular book 'The Martian' for Ridley Scott, who directed the large ensemble space epic for the big screen (but not the IMAX screen, which is what you might have expected). Matt Damon plays the lead in this picture about an astronaut whose team, under the impression that he's dead, abandons him on Mars during a deadly sandstorm. With limited food and no communication with the ship or Earth, he must find a way to get in touch with someone – anyone – who can send a rescue mission after him. His rock solid self-control and superior botanical knowledge will help, but can they keep him alive long enough for four years or more? In need of another re-write to condense the story a bit, the good-but-congested movie co-stars Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael Peña, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover and a lot of relentless pop culture references.
Next to 'The Martian', the only other movie moving to wide status is 'Sicario', which – after receiving stellar reviews and two great weeks in limited release – is climbing up to 2,620 screens. Lionsgate's preachy hit is expected to continue its success, but 'The Martian' is poised to outpace it this weekend.
Like Ridley Scott, Robert Zemeckis is also hoping to produce another critical and box office hit with the limited release of his PG-rated thriller 'The Walk'. And just like 'Everest' did a few weeks ago, 'The Walk' started off its theatrical run this past Wednesday with an IMAX-only debut. For nine days, the dizzying 3D film can only be seen in the large-scale format. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in the true story about tight-rope walker Philippe Petit and his heist-like illegal mission to sneak to the top of New York City's World Trade Center towers in 1974 for a wire-walk like no other. The documentary about this story, 'Man on Wire', is absolutely brilliant, so it might be really difficult for Zemeckis to make a dramatized feature that's even better than the doc. 'The Walk' expands to nationwide 2D and 3D screens next Friday, October 9th.
Lionsgate hopes to keep the 'Sicario' success going with the two-screen release of 'Freeheld'. Peter Sollett's drama tells the true story of a gay couple (Julianne Moore and Ellen Page) whose domestic partnership and civil rights are tried when one falls ill to cancer and is declined the right to be covered by her partner's health insurance provider. Based on the 2007 Oscar-winning documentary short of the same name, the feature adaptation has some decent buzz following its TIFF debut last month.
Also buzzing is Fox Searchlight's documentary by Davis Guggenheim, 'He Named Me Malala'. The film begins its platform release on four screens this weekend. The doc follows the story of a Pakistani school girl who started a controversy when she spoke out about equal education for girls and ultimately made her way in front of the United Nations.

Luke: "Lionsgate's preachy hit (Sicario)…"
Don't you have to be wordy to be preachy? I guess a picture is
worth a thousand words. For a "preachy" film, Sicario says very
few actual words.
Interesting that Phil says the exact opposite:
"While Villeneuve clearly comes at the material with a point of view and a message, he never preaches."
Chris B
Dammit Luke! I'm seeing this on Tuesday and now I'm worried I'm going to find it overly-preachy! I hope not….
In other Ridley Scott news, it looks like Matchstick Men is finally coming out on blu ray this month. Hallelujah…thought you'd like to know.

The doc fell short on one thing that The Walk has. The doc never SHOWED the walk.

Ames, Iowa – Research has proven that when newborn calves start life sick and weak, they are often late getting bred and tend to have more health problems. The quest for healthy calves is now easier with the revolutionary new product BoviCare. This natural product contains killed Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) proteins.
"C. parvum infections are most severe in calves less than three weeks old, causing diarrhea and weight loss," says Mark Meyer, president of Mg Biologics. "BoviCare is an egg-derived killed C. parvum protein. BoviCare is different from other egg proteins because most of those work as a passive antibody product, which is entirely different from the science involved in BoviCare.
"Designed to meet enteric health needs, BoviCare conditions the gut for improved health with increased weight gains and feed efficiency," continues Meyer, who founded Mg Biologics in 1999 near Ames, Iowa. "Within the first month after administration, you should see increased weight gains in calves as well as visibly healthier calves."
BoviCare is easy to administer orally in milk replacer during morning and evening feedings. In just seven days, a calf's stomach will be fortified for improved efficiency, resulting in a visibly healthy calf.
For further information about BoviCare, visit www.bovicare.com.

Joker (2019). Film review of the violent drama starring Joaquin Phoenix
Film review, by Jason Day, of Joker, the dark and violent drama about a man who performs as a clown suffering a breakdown who turns into the Joker featured in the DC Batman comics. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro.
Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a man who has been forgotten by society living in the fetid, every-man-for-himself misery of an uncaring city lorded over by the rich who look down on the poor.
Craving recognition and determined to make it as a comedian like his TV chat show host icon Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) but feeling the strain of a world he feels is attacking him, underlined by a series of brutal physical beatings he suffers, Arthur has a breakdown and turns into the psychotically unhinged anti-hero, Joker.
Review, by @Reelreviewer
My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face. She told me I had a purpose: to bring laughter and joy to the world.
Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker, 2019).
A reviewer on this site once said: "Should cinema be dangerous?"
Their point, related to the Michael Moore film Where to Invade Next (2015), was should cinema, that art form traditionally seen as being too precious and focused on visuals to tackle complex topics like politics and educating and elevating its audience.
Is cinema 'up to the job'?
It lead to a brief but mammoth debate on Twitter, joined by Moore himself, who felt that it absolutely should.
"Love that Joker"…or maybe not. Joaquin Phoenix takes the title role. (Image: Warner Bros.)
I was reminded of this exchange after seeing Joker (2019) this weekend. I saw it with friend Win Hughes and we had a fairly similar take on it.
Our post-match chin-wag led to a fabulous conversation. We found Joker to be 'dangerous' at least in one sense of the word: 'likely to cause trouble or have adverse consequences.'
Will there be riots on the streets and ultra-beatings, a la The Clockwork Orange (1971) after people see Joker? From the general public more than likely not, but the 'dangerous' in my mind's eye is more related to how the action and the positioning of the title character could trouble troubled people's minds. To explain…
Win gave the most lacerating summing up, awarding it only one out of five stars:
Basicially, this is two hours and one minute of my life I will not get back.
This film was relentlessly grim, the incel* ideation being rather unpleasant. Angry, violent misogyny…I felt really uncomfortable with that aspect of the film.
The Studio's denouement didn't fit with the rest of the film and the about face of De Niro's character into a concerned citizen didn't fit with his earlier characterisation.
*Incels are involuntarily celibate, usually males, in online communities. Incel communities have been criticized by the media and researchers for being misogynist, encouraging violence, as well as spreading extremist views and radicalizing their members.
I don't agree with the 1/5 star review and I am glad to see that co-writer/director Todd Phillips has moved away from the inane, supposed comedies that were The Hangover series. But he has stepped up from the banal to the truly bizarre and challenging.
I don't mind a challenge every now and then!
Yes, I am set in my cinematic ways and generally choose the movies I view because I am in some way part sold-in to see them, but I like to be taken out of my comfort zone every now and then. I agree with my old reviewer about that 'dangerous' view – cinema needs to shake us all up from our slumber every now and then.
Sat alone in the Stygian dark of the picture palace auditorium, with only the odd crunch crunch of popcorn and slurp of a soda disturbing the hushed quiet around you, cinema alone has the power to push and pummel your thoughts, isolated as you are.
For me, Joker did just that…uncomfortably so.
These are not bad things for a reviewer to deal with and I have done so before. Just as with films like Schindler's List (1993) and 12 Years a Slave (2013), my likes and dislikes were grabbed by the throat, slammed against the wall and given a damn good slapping.
And all the better for it.
Joker did the same thing to me although, aside from the incredible and disturbing, physically and mentally twisted performance of the awesome Phoenix – none of the actors get much of a look in, even the great De Niro as the slimy TV host, in a role reversal of the characters he played in Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1982) – I felt there was little else of 'merit'.
The King of Comedy? Or The Prince and the Pauper? Robert De Niro looks down on – as everyone else does – Arthur Fleck in Joker (2019). (Image: Warner Bros.)
I keep putting inverted commas around words in this review because I feel I need to visibly state that despite my worth watching star rating, I am not positively endorsing it.
I am 'glad' – what a word! – I saw it, but it left me scratching my head a fair about why.
It will be interesting to see what happens when real life incels see this movie (obviously not at the cinema, but when it's available for digital download).
Arthur Fleck – note the surname. Even this moniker signifies his utter irrelevance and 'smallness' – becomes a 'hero' who is reborn after a 'purifying' breakdown to 'save' his long hated home and even longer hated community.
I appreciate that the research has it that violent films don't maker people become violent. But what about those who are at that tipping point?
In the Stygian dark of their solitary lives, with only the flickering light of their computers for illumination, foaming with fury at the world outside, will other incels out there see Arthur Fleck as their messiah and Joker as a 'call to arms'?
Let us hope not and that a clear delineation between the fiction on film and the world off screen prevails.
