Drive-in movies and concerts are a great new way to spend the day, but Long Island offers a wide variety of other outdoor attractions within driving distance. From art exhibits to historic homes to lighthouses, here are some day road trip suggestions, that'll take you along a path driving from the west and heading east.
Roslyn Harbor: The Sculpture Park
Not all works of art are kept indoors. Sculpture Park at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn offers 40 outdoor sculptures, some dating to the early 1900s, set amid nearly 150 acres of gardens, wooded area and ponds. The indoor museum is now open. After viewing the exhibits, take in more fresh air by heading down one of the trails within the William Cullen Bryant Preserve.

Hicksville: Billy Joel’s childhood town
Throw on “Piano Man” and take a ride by the town where Billy Joel lived when he “wore a younger man’s clothes.” The Hicksville native grew up in a Levitt house and as a kid was photographed standing on the sidewalk outside the home. Turn the day into a Billy Joel Long Island tour by hanging out at the village green or cruising the miracle mile.
INFO Meeting Lane
Huntington Station: Walt Whitman birthplace
Billy Joel isn’t the only famous Long Island product. “Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,” wrote renowned poet Walt Whitman of his Long Island roots in his late-1800s poem, “Song of Myself.” The farmhouse where Whitman was born in 1819 still stands in Huntington, having been restored and filled with 19th-century furnishings and Whitman artifacts. Tours have resumed. Registration is required on the website.
INFO 246 Old Walt Whitman Rd.; 631-760-6216; waltwhitman.org
Lattingtown to Amityville: Famous houses
Long Island has famous residents, but also famous houses and locations that have made cameos on the big screen. There’s the Lattingtown house that Tom Hanks and Shelley Long attempted to renovate in “The Money Pit.” The Old Brookville house where Robert De Niro first met Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents.” And plenty of others, including the area at Mitchel Athletic Complex in Uniondale where Sonny was killed in “The Godfather,” and, of course, the “Amityville Horror” house.
Fire Island: Fire Island Lighthouse
It’s Long Island’s tallest lighthouse, with 182 steps needed to get to the top of the 168-foot structure. From there, walk the beach or the boardwalk to Robert Moses State Park, or bring some golf clubs and head to the park’s Pitch and Putt Course.
INFO Burma Road
Great Neck to Port Jefferson: George Washington Spy Trail
Stretching 50 miles along Route 25A — from Great Neck to Port Jefferson — the George Washington Spy Trail provides a glimpse of Long Island’s role in the Revolutionary War. Washington himself in 1790 traveled the route, used as part of the Culper spy ring, which was organized in Setauket at Washington’s request to have Patriots work undercover. Portions of the AMC series “Turn: Washington’s Spies” take place along the trail.
INFO 631-751-2244; longislandheritagetrail.com
Stony Brook: Hercules Pavilion

In this moving story, the narrative unfolds around an extraordinary co-collection that challenges the paternal order: the relationship between dogs and leopards. “Boundless Connections” explores the likely friendships that crossed species boundaries, touching the heart with the depth of understanding and camaraderie shared between two seemingly disparate creatures. The story begins with the discovery of an unexpected companionship between dogs and leopards, creatures that, in the wild, would be considered rivals.
Rather than succumbing to their father’s typical division, these dogs and leopards form a unique alliance, challenging precocious positions and highlighting the universal capacity for cooperativeness and understanding. The crux of the narrative lies in the exploration of the day-to-day interactions between these would-be friends. Through shared spaces, recreational activities and moments of geographic camaraderie, dogs and leopards forge a body that transcends the barriers established by their respective species.
The story becomes a celebration of animals’ inherent ability to form relationships based on shared experiences and understanding. As the narrative unfolds, readers are invited to witness the moving scenes of cooperation and mutual respect. Dogs and leopards, considered adversaries by the office, become companions in their shared environment. The story provokes reflection on the harmonious possibilities that exist when individuals, regardless of their origins, find a common group and embrace the richness of their differences. “Unlimited collections” serve as a metaphor for the potential for understanding and friendship in the world at large. It challenges stereotypes and prejudices, urging readers to reconsider assumptions about potential alliances. The narrative becomes an invitation to appreciate the beauty of the pompadours that arise when hearts and minds are opened to the possibility of unlimited pompadours. In the epéd, the story resonates as a testament to the universal span of companionship that transcends the boundaries of species. “Boundless Connections” is a moving exploration of the extraordinary friendships that can emerge when animals, guided by attitude and compassion, forge connections that touch the heart and inspire awe at the vast tapestry of life.

Harnessing fusion power on Earth requires strong magnetic fields to hold and squeeze a super-heated gas, and the large scale experiments capable of such extreme conditions can take decades to build.
Through simulation, a team led by ORNL's David Green hopes to perform virtual investigations of how fusion devices behave using high-performance computing.
"The mathematics underlying a fusion plasma are so complex that traditional approaches test the limits of even today's largest supercomputers", David Green stated. The team has tested a new approach on ORNL's Summit supercomputer and they expect that its combination with ORNL's upcoming exascale Frontier supercomputer will make a virtual fusion device possible.
Another topic at ORNL is efficient structure mapping.
A novel approach developed by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory can scan massive datasets of large-scale satellite images to more accurately map infrastructure - such as buildings and roads - in hours versus days.
Comprehensive image data is useful for stakeholders to make informed decisions. The new computational workflow uses deep learning techniques to train and deploy models to better address location, environmental and time challenges when mapping structures.
"We developed a framework that divides the labour of characterization among several models, each tasked to learn to detect specific objects under near-homogeneous contexts versus one model attempting to detect objects under diverse conditions across a collection of images", stated ORNL's Dalton Lunga who led the study .
The team tested the approach on 21 terabytes-worth of image data - one terabyte covers about 12.085 square miles - and reduced the computing time from 28 days to about 21 hours.
Next, they will characterize even larger image datasets on ORNL's Summit supercomputer.
A third topic is assessing mental health.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory will partner with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), collaborating with CCHMCs' Dr. John Pestian and Dr. Tracy Glauser, to explore ways to deploy expertise in health data science that could more quickly identify patients' mental health risk factors and aid in suicide prevention strategies.
ORNL and CCHMC will leverage the lab's expertise in high-performance computing - which includes access to the world's most powerful supercomputers - and proven ability to keep medical records safe and secure to research new computational methodologies using deep learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
"Our collaboration's goal is to quickly scan and detect at-risk patients' behaviours and predictive patterns that could lead to mental health solutions, all while keeping personal information protected", stated ORNL's Joe Lake.
After the pilot phase, the team plans to scale up to larger patient datasets and share the results with other entities that have identified mental health conditions as a top priority, such as the National Institutes of Mental Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A fourth topic concerns batteries.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated that sodium-ion batteries can serve as a low-cost, high performance substitute for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries commonly used in robotics, power tools, and grid-scale energy storage.
Sodium-ion batteries, or SIBs, show promise beyond lithium-ion batteries because sodium's abundance makes it more affordable compared to lithium. However, limitations in the technical design of their anode, cathode and electrolyte systems prevent SIBs from being widely used.
In a study , ORNL researchers developed SIBs by pairing a high-energy oxide or phosphate cathode with a hard carbon anode and achieved 100 usage cycles at a one hour charge and discharge rate.
"The dedication to lithium-ion batteries over the past 20 years has eclipsed any significant development around room temperature sodium-ion batteries despite the material availability", ORNL's Ilias Belharouak stated. "This research shows how SIBs can be designed for improved performance."


Sometimes I’m still surprised by what I read. If this was April 1, I’d even think this had to be a joke. Tom Rawle reports:
Russian investigators have warned people that Chinese imported kettles and irons may contain hidden spyware that can steal people’s data to send to government servers.
Authorities in St Petersburg allegedly found 20 to 30 Chinese imported household appliances, including kettles and irons, with “spy microchips” inside that can “send data to a foreign server”.
The allegations, originally made by St Petersburg news agency Rosbalt, come as the fine line between security surveillance and personal privacy is becoming smaller and smaller.

Managing regulating services for sustainability
Regulating ecosystem services (ES) are those related to the control of biogeochemical cycles and biophysical structures at different scales (Watanabe and Ortega, 2011; Potschin and Haines-Young, 2011). Their contribution to human well-being is often indirect in that they support the supply with other services, such as provisioning services, or mitigate natural risks that endanger human health and life or cause economic damage. The key regulating services to consider are those which can be changed through management, planning, and policymaking, such as hazard mitigation (e.g. flooding), climate regulation (local and global), water purification, water erosion control, biological control of pests and diseases, and pollination (Sandhu et al., 2012).

Top Oxford welders online shopping Ireland 2021? Ireland market pick: Thinking to buy for the excellent ? The Forney Easy Weld 140 FC-i is a great MIG welder for home use. The “FC-i” in the name means “Flux Core inverter.” Inverter technology is lighter than traditional transformers used in most welders, meaning this welder delivers 140 amps even though it only weighs 19 pounds. The one thing this welder doesn’t offer is true MIG capability. Flux core wire doesn’t deliver the same clean, indestructible level of welding as a gas-shielded arc. It provides shielding by evaporating flux. For the average home welder, the difference is minor. However, if you need to weld aluminum or stainless steel, flux core wire isn’t up to it and you’ll need to find a MIG-capable machine. The 140-amp rating is about as hot as you can get without stepping up to 220 volts. That’s enough to weld 1/4-inch steel. The duty rating on this machine is 30 percent at 90 amps, pretty astounding on a machine in this price range. There’s probably not a MIG welder in this class that has more satisfied customers, a big reason it’s the Weld Guru Weekend Warrior selection for Best MIG. If you don’t have a lot to spend, then I would recommend taking a look at our cheap MIG welders for under $500 guide. Read additional details at https://www.weldingsuppliesdirect.ie/. The story of ESAB is the story of welding. When our founder Oscar Kjellberg developed the world’s first coated welding electrode in 1904, he launched a company whose innovation and uncompromising standards have helped create the history of welding itself. For more than 100 years, ESAB has been powered by the will to continuously seek new and improved ways of serving our customers. This has made ESAB a world leader in welding products and advanced cutting systems. In 2012, ESAB was acquired by Colfax Corporation, one of the world’s leading diversified industrial manufacturing companies. Colfax, like ESAB, is a solidly customer-focused company that places strong emphasis on constant innovation and improvement. From the firsts by our founder to our global growth, we take pride in what we’ve accomplished in more than a century. But we do so with a keen eye on the future. What can we do better? It’s only when we seek to build upon all we’ve learned, to perfect the innovations our customers count on to work confidently, and push ourselves and our company further that we can boldly face the future. This is how we continue to write the history of welding and cutting. At the end of the day, it’s not where you’ve been that matters most – it’s where you’re going. And for us, that’s forward.
How to pick a welder tips: Digital meters factory fitted: Great to have when you purchase and may be required for calibration requirements. To fit them down the line could be expensive. Drive rollers: Metal rollers are the best. Nylon & plastic ones will always wear away quicker. Drive block system: Four roll would always be first choice, but some of the lower amperage machines won’t have them & two roll therefore would be acceptable. Bottle trolley: If you want a stepped voltage machine to be portable, you’ll need one. If you have a full size industrial cylinder check that the running gear & cylinder rack are man enough.
LOTOS Technology is a California company that has only been around since 2007. Still, the LOTOS MIG is impactful and high quality enough to make it onto our list. This one is a versatile machine that is a fair price of about $400. And—provided that you have the necessary 240-volt outlet in your home—it can be set up in a matter of minutes. The duty cycle of this welding newcomer is impressive, and it can be utilized by pros and amateurs who have been continually impressed by the bang they’ve gotten for their buck. The LOTOS can weld steel and stainless steel from 18 gauge to ¼ inches and aluminum to 1/8 inch or thicker. Thermal overload protection doesn’t let this machine overheat, and infinitely adjustable heat/amperage as well as wire speed makes using the LOTOS simple. Check out the LOTOS MIG140 for a lower power alternative.
Delivery of parts to the welding station in an organized and logical fashion is also a way to reduce welding costs. For example, one company was manufacturing concrete mixing drums. In the fabrication process, the company produced 10 parts for one section, then went on to make 10 parts of another drum section, etc. As pieces came off the line, they were put onto the floor of the shop. When it was time to weld, the operator had to hunt for the pieces needed and sort through them. When the outside welding expert pointed out the amount of time being wasted in this process, the company started to batch each one on a cart. In this way, the pieces needed to weld one drum were stored together and could easily be moved to the welding area. This type of scenario is also true for companies that may outsource parts to a vendor. Though it may cost more to have parts delivered in batches, it may save more in time than having to organize and search through parts to be able to get to the welding stage. How many times each piece is handled in the shop may be an eye-opener to reducing wasted time. To measure such an intangible as this, operators are asked to put a soapstone mark on the piece each time it is touched – some companies are surprised to find out how many times a part is picked up, transported and laid down in the manufacturing process. In the case of one company, moving the welding shop closer to the heat treatment station eliminated four extra times that the part was handled. Basically, handling a part as few times as possible and creating a more efficient production line or work cell will reduce overall costs.
Our welding tables are to be self-assembled. This is an easy process; full instructions are provided. A wide range of tools are available for use with these tables and they are available as added optional extras in the custom options above. If you require guidance on which tool set would be the most suitable for you please feel free to call our helpful staff. *Please note that current lead times on these welding tables are 3-4 weeks, however if you require the table quicker please alert us and we will do our best to assist with your enquiry*
Some tips on welding equipment, MIG and TIG welders, plasma cutters. MIG welders use a wire welding electrode on a spool that is fed automatically at a constant pre-selected speed. The arc, created by an electrical current between the base metal and the wire, melts the wire and joins it with the base, producing a high-strength weld with great appearance and little need for cleaning. MIG welding is clean, easy and can be used on thin or thicker plate metals. Similar to MIG welding, flux-cored arc welding (FCAW)* is a wire-feed process but differs in that self-shielded flux-cored welding does not require a shielding gas. Instead, flux-cored wire is used to shield the arc from contamination. This is a simple, efficient and effective welding approach, especially when welding outdoors, in windy conditions or on dirty materials. The process is widely used in construction because of its high welding speed and portability.
The MIG welder performance depends on several parameters. The duty cycle is among them. It means the percentage of a 10-minute period the welder can work until it gets overheated. For example, “90A / 20%” means that a welder can work for 2 minutes at 90A before an 8-minute cooldown, i.e. 20% of 10 minutes. Now, about the material. We should note that the maximum thickness of a material a welder can handle depends on its amperage and welding wire thickness. Lastly, consider the thickness of the joint a welder can make in a single run. Household models can weld metal sheets from 18-gauge to 1/4” thick at the output of 70A – 180A, respectively.
If you know that your new machine comes with a 2-year warranty, it can take a lot of the stress off your shoulders if your device suddenly stops working. If you can’t find a MIG welder with an appropriate warranty and the right features, it’s often a good idea to choose something that has spare parts which are easy to find. Try not to buy anything that’s made outside of the UK. The price range may be more affordable but the parts would be harder to source. Look for a spool gun so you can weld aluminium. If you plan on using your home welder to weld aluminium, then you’ll need a standard spool gun. Aluminium can quickly become damaged and tangled with a typical welding wire feed spool, so a spool gun will ensure that you can get the best results from your DIY work.
The Hobart Handler 210 has the typical great quality Hobart build with durable parts that stand the test of time. The 210 is more suited to autobody repair and construction than the 190 and 140 and it welds up to 3/8 inch. It’s also a flexible unit with the capacity to weld off 115V and 230V. At under $1000 it’s lot cheaper than the Ironman 230 and is a wise choice if you’re looking for a welder that packs real power but isn’t the price of the heavy industrial welders. It you’re looking for the all round MIG package for power, versatility, quality and value for money, the Hobart 210 is our top pick. See our full review of the Hobart Handler 210 here.

BY VALERIE DYE
As seen in the previous week’s article common law couples may be able to claim a share in assets to which they have no legal title by relying on the principle of unjust enrichment. In this regard, the Respondent would have become unjustly enriched by virtue of the efforts of the claimant and it would be unjust for the claimant to be deprived of a share in the assets.
When the court determines that there has been an unjust enrichment, the aim is to restore the claimant to the position he or she would have been in were it not for the unjust enrichment. In most cases the court gives a monetary award to the claimant. One of the issues faced by the courts in dealing with unjust enrichment in family law cases is whether the claimant should be paid in terms of ‘value received’ by the other spouse or whether the claimant should be paid on the basis of ‘value survived’. Under the ‘value received’ approach the claimant will be compensated in accordance with the amount of his or her contribution toward the acquisition of the asset. Under the ‘value survived’ approach the claimant receives a share of the surviving value of the asset regardless of the extent of the contribution. Consequently, if the claimant contributed to the acquisition of an asset and the value of the asset decreased during the relationship, the claimant would only be awarded a share of the existing value of the asset.
In the leading case of Kerr vs Baranow (2011) 1SCR 269, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that where parties establish that their common law relationship was based on a joint family venture the appropriate manner of quantifying the amount the claimant spouse is entitled to is the ‘value survived’ approach. Further, in a joint family venture it would not be necessary to examine in minute details the exact contribution of each party.
How does the court determine whether or not there has been a joint family venture? The court stated in Kerr and Baranow that there is no presumption of joint family venture simply because parties have lived together. It is necessary to examine how the parties have lived their lives. In that regard, account will be taken of such things as, whether there has been mutual efforts by the parties in attaining certain goals, whether there has been economic integration, the intentions of the parties and whether they treated the family as a priority. In Montgomery vs Schlender 2012 ABQB the court found that although the parties lived together and had a sexual relationship there was no joint family venture despite the fact that the claimant spouse did household chores, contributed to groceries and contributed to the improvement of the home. Some of the reasons that guided the court’s decision were the fact that there was no joint bank account, the parties were responsible for their own debts and they did not name each other as beneficiaries under insurance coverages. The court found that whatever contributions were made were done as cohabiting housemates on the basis of an arrangement that allowed each party to contribute his or her share of the expenses and share in household chores. As such, rather than there being a joint family venture there was a mutual conferral of benefits whereby each party benefitted from the contribution of the other.
In conclusion, it is to be noted that common law spouses do have a remedy in unjust enrichment which can compensate for the fact that they do not enjoy the benefit of equalization of assets that married couples do. Nonetheless, it is important to note that even the remedy of unjust enrichment is not automatic as the court will not assume that parties who have lived together were engaged in a joint family venture.

Pros and cons of MLB At Bat app for iPhone and iPad
MLB At Bat app good for
This app is fantastic for information about the teams, games and players. However, I use the app primarily to watch the condensed games the next day, as I live in Germany and many games take place in the middle of the night for me. With this app it is almost impossible to get a condensed game up without seeing the outcome of the game beforehand - even when I have the settings so that the scores are not shown. When I click on the game I want, I am directed to a page with a recap which makes it clear who won, and on the page where the condensed game link is shown, the score is there. Please fix this feature so that one can access the condensed games without spoiling the suspense of not knowing the outcome of the game!
I use it every day. Gives me the opportunity to watch baseball everywhere. Some minor bugs, crashes, but still good.
This is one of my most used apps. And maybe the only one, that gets better as soon as they change something.
...better then all the rest. A must for all serious baseball enthusiasts.
Intuitive and easy to use. Still the template for any sports league trying to take advantage of their digital offerings.
This app is far above any other leagues app. I use it heavily throughout the season. It rarely crashes, and the notifications always work. MLB.tv is integrated beautifully. My only complaint is that sometimes games dont have the final score I want, but its not the apps fault that the Giants are struggling. ;)
Some bad moments
Since the latest update on Apple TV, the app crash at every start !!!!
Nowhwere in the app can I find the ALDS games .... terrible interface. Not to mention the MLB app on my AppleTV crashes and wont load the games. MLB tech support is virtually unavailble. And I am a paid Premium Subscriber. Huge fail.
Much of the time the app is good, but many of the features dont work well. I cant watch highlights until hours after the game, and when they finally are available, the phone/app chokes on them. I cant re-watch the last innings of the game. A friend with a non-Apple version seems to be able to watch the post-game press conferences live when I cant even see the game-winning play let alone the post-game stuff. And it crashes.
I usually love this app, but after the last update it will only work when I turn off wifi and use my cell data.
This App will not open using WiFi. Not good. So, I ditched it.
I purchased mlbtv premium for the year. I do not subscribe to cable tv or satellite. Even though I payed the same money every other subscriber did, those who get fox sports in the USA can watch the post season. I unfortunately cannot because fox sports has more money then I do. Thats prejudice sickening behaviour. Even if I did subscribe to pay tv, Im Canadian, so Im cut from the team.

Kanye West `jealous` of Pharrell Williams?
Los Angeles: Rapper Kanye West is said to be jealous of Pharrell Williams after reports emerged that the latter is close to signing a deal with Adidas.
Adidas is the same sportswear brand that West has been commissioned to design a clothing range for, reports contactmusic.com.
"They are competitive in both music and fashion, Kanye always watches what Pharrell does. He thinks having a similar artist working on their own brand for Adidas will make his collection less special," a source told The Sun newspaper.
West, 36, signed a deal with Adidas in December, 2013, after a spat with Nike, over royalties for his exclusive collection of Air Yeezy sneakers, which resulted in the end of his business relationship with the sportswear brand.

Long Island-based developer Uri Kaufman and his partners in Harmony Mills Riverview LLC plan to redevelop the 850,000-square-foot Harmony Mills complex in Cohoes into a mix of residential and retail space.
The company will spend $12 million to create 96 units in the planned first phase of apartments at the historic Mill No. 3 on North Mohawk Street. The first business up and running at the site, originally home to four cotton mills, is a self-storage business in Mill No. 1.
The company hit on the idea of redeveloping the building as container storage "after trying everything else," Kaufman said. "There are not many uses for 120-year-old buildings."
Coming up with a new use for Mill No. 3, which overlooks the Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River, was also a matter of trial and error. When Harmony Mills Riverview bought the complex in 2000 for $1.9 million, Kaufman planned to redevelop it as a technology center.
Built starting in the 1830s, Harmony Mills was once one of the largest yarn-producing cotton mills in the world. Now, however, the historic buildings' layout and wooden floors rule out renovating it for high-tech uses. Wood floors vibrate, throwing off sensitive equipment.
"The reasons why it doesn't work for high-tech precision manufacturing is exactly why it does work for residential," Kaufman said. The Victorian-style mill buildings have high ceilings and lots of windows, making them a good fit for renovation as loft-style apartments.
Still, in 2002, the project was dead. It needed 10 code variances for the developer to create new apartments, and getting them was a long shot. Then in 2003, the state's building code changed to encourage adaptive reuse. Converting Mill No. 3 to housing no longer needed its laundry list of variances.
The code change was a stroke of good luck that allowed the project to move forward. So was being assigned to the Buffalo office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Kaufman said.
Backed by a loan guarantee from HUD, Harmony Mills Riverview last month landed a $12.1 million loan from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Bank. The company also has a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with the Cohoes Industrial Development Authority, allowing it to defer tax payments from the early years of the project to later years. With financing in hand, the company held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the project April 4.
"This grand building, a symbol of the city's economic prosperity in the late 1800s, stands today as a symbol of the city's new economic resurgence," said Congressman Michael McNulty (D-Green Island) at the groundbreaking.
The first phase of apartments will include 56 one-bedroom apartments, 36 two-bedroom apartments and four three-bedroom apartments. The company has not yet finalized rents, but Kaufman said likely the one-bedrooms would rent for about $925 a month and the two-bedrooms for about $1,200 a month. The buildings have indoor and outdoor parking, and feature amenities including washers and dryers in the apartments and a shared exercise room, lounge, office and media center. Construction is expected to take about a year.
In a future phase Harmony Mills Riverview will spend $18 million to build 150 apartments. The company also is eyeing the former site of Mill No. 2, which burned down about a decade ago, for retail development. Once the apartments are up and running, the company will be able to attract retailers to the site, Kaufman said.

Synopsis: Several subsidiary bosses gather at a lavish lunch with “Mr. Chairman,” the head of the ruling Sanno-kai crime organization which controls the Greater Tokyo area. Sannokai underboss Kato warns Ikemoto about his overt dealings with family outsider Murase, an old-timer with whom he recently made a pact in prison. In an effort to ease Mr. Chairman’s suspicions, Ikemoto asks fellow boss Otomo to do his dirty work for him by making a minor but obvious move against Murase.
Otomo’s actions are the start of a ruthless series of conflicts and betrayals. Before long, several yakuza clans are out for blood in their constant battle for power and money. The rival bosses fight to rise through the ranks by scheming and making short-lived allegiances. In this corrupt world where there are no heroes, it’s Bad Guy vs. Bad Guy in a spiraling outrage of gang warfare…
The movie will be released to theaters on October 28 on Video on Demand and December 2, 2011 (limited). You can find all our coverage of Outrage here.

LABELS: Moon Harbour, 2020Vision, Katermukke, Roush, Pokerflat
The rise of electronic music must have had an influence on numerous biographies in the early 90s. The new sound in the clubs also left its mark on Sven Tasnadi. Born in 1978 in Leipzig, he is one of the figureheads of his hometown’s extremely vivid club scene. In 1995, after innumerable clubbing nights, he was curious enough to learn deejaying himself. Through acid house and Chicago house, he found his way to more minimalistic forms of house and techno. It wasn’t long before he was being booked for gigs in Leipzig clubs. Soon he also had his first gigs outside of Leipzig – for instance at the legendary Berlin Tresor.
In addition to deejaying, Sven Tasnadi was also attracted to the idea of producing his own tracks. In the beginning his equipment was still relatively modest. However, over the past years, he has managed to create a studio setup that meets his standards. In terms of musical style, the Leipzig-based artist has always kept all options open – his tracks vary from deep house, percussive-reduced tech house and soul influences to trip hop and ambient.
After several net label releases, the year 2005 marked a crucial turning point in his career. He met the renowned Leipzig-based producers and deejays Matthias Tanzmann and Daniel Stefanik. They quickly became friends, resulting in the first vinyl release on the Moon Harbour sub label Cargo Edition in 2007 – a collaboration with Daniel Stefanik. Soon afterwards his first artist EP was released, paving the way for further label contacts.
Today Sven Tasnadi is considered a firm fixture in the German clubbing culture. His tracks have appeared on EPs released by labels such as Cocoon Recordings, Smallville Records, Poker Flat Recordings, Liebe*Detail and Ornaments. Sven Väth was especially impressed by Tasnadi early on and licensed his track „Waiting For You Again“ for his „Sound of Season“ compilation. At the same time, he produced more than a dozen remixes for Steve Bug, Johannes Heil, Anja Schneider and others. Sven Tasnadi now has regular releases on Cargo Edition. As one of its most important artists, he has a considerable impact on the label’s sound.
The positive response to Sven Tasnadi’s productions is also reflected in his deejay calendar – the numbers of sets is increasing every year. His gigs include parties at renowned clubs, such as the Cocoon Club in Frankfurt and Plastic People in London.
In 2009 Tasnadi founded the label Oh! Yeah! together with Daniel Stefanik and Juno6. Managed on a friendship basis, this joint project once again pools the output of all three artists in a very special way. Sven Tasnadi has also developed a live set together with Juno6 that premiered at the Think! Open Air 2011 in Leipzig.

Category: Literary Criticism
It is easy to forget how deeply embedded in social hierarchy was the literature and learning that has come down to us from the early modern European world. From fiction to philosophy, from poetry to history, works of all kinds emerged from and through the social hierarchy that was a fundamental fact of everyday life. Paying attention to it changes how we might understand and interpret the works themselves, whether canonical and familiar or largely forgotten. But a second, related fact is much overlooked too: works also often emanated from families, not just from individuals. Families were driving forces in the production—that is, in the composing, editing, translating, or publishing—of countless works. Relatives collaborated with each other, edited each other, or continued the unfinished works of deceased family members; some imitated or were inspired by the works of long-dead relatives. The reason why this second fact (about families) is connected to the first (about social hierarchy) is that families were in the period a basic social medium through which social status was claimed, maintained, threatened, or lost. So producing literary works was one of the many ways in which families claimed their place in the social world. The process was however often fraught, difficult, or disappointing. If families created works as a form of socio-cultural legacy that might continue to benefit their future members, not all members benefited equally; women sometimes produced or claimed the legacy for themselves, but they were often sidelined from it. Relatives sometimes disagreed bitterly about family history, identity (not least religious), and so about the picture of themselves and their family that they wished to project more widely in society through their written works, whether printed or manuscript. So although family was a fundamental social medium out of which so many works emerged, that process could be conflictual as well as harmonious. The intertwined role of family and social hierarchy within literary production is explored in this book through the case of France, from the late fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth century. Some families are studied here in detail, such as that of the most widely read French poet of the age, Clément Marot. But the extent of this phenomenon is quantified too: some two hundred families are identified as each containing more than one literary producer, and in the case of one family an extraordinary twenty-seven.

Asexuals will not strive to join the mile high club. Air New Zealand offers a new service that may make them feel less left out. The new cuddle class, with seats designed for two adults or two adults and one child.
Robert Fryfe, the Air New Zealand CEO expected passengers would use the new service, but placed very clear limits on what passengers can do while taking a flight on the economy cuddle class. Passengers are expected to keep their clothes on at all times. The presence of children will likely encourage this behavior.
While cuddling is not a specifically Asexual behavior, many romantic Asexuals enjoy cuddling and use it as a form of a romantic expression. Cuddling takes the place of intercourse in some Asexual relationships.

Footwear is the most important hiking purchase you will make – if your feet are miserable, you will be too.
We’ve gone through our fair share of hiking shoes over the years. Well…Ok… I might be the Carrie Bradshaw of hiking shoes. Some gals swoon over expensive heels or strappy sandals, but I get giddy over the latest Merrells or Keens. I have more footwear than I have time to hike at this point. Open our gear closet and a cascade of hiking shoes tumbles out.
I figured I could put my footwear obsession to good use and offer up what has worked for us. Info and tips about hiking footwear are below the recommendations. Keep in mind that styles change constantly, and something may no longer be available or works/fits as we described. In fact, I’ve removed the links to their product pages because it’s tough to keep up with the item changes.
Info and tips about hiking shirts are below the recommendations.
Merrell Women’s Chameleon Arc GORE-TEX XCR Hiking Shoe
I’ve been been wearing Chameleons for years – on my third pair.
Pro: Comfy, quick break-in, waterproof. Good all around hiker. Grippy sole is great for rock scrambles.
For a non-waterproof shoe, consider Merrell Women’s Moab Ventilator or the Merrell Men’s Moab Ventilator.
Garmont Men’s Flash lll GTX Hiking Shoe Good all around hiker for guys that won’t cram your toes. Tom’s been using these for years, on pair #2 and almost ready to get another pair.
Pro: Comfy, decent protection, waterproof, ample toe box – especially good for wide or high volume feet.
They’ve also been offering the same style for years, which is hard to find – normally once you find a good shoe, they change the model.
Salomon Women’s GTX Trail Running Shoes
For moderate hiking, or for trail running. I don’t consider myself a runner, but these shoes make me feel like one, and let me confidently chug down the trail.
Pro: Solid, stable, supportive on the trail; slosh thru puddles.
Con: Not great for very rocky hikes. Tested them on a hike in Harriman – felt it wasn’t enough protection on the bottom.
Keen Women’s Voyageur and Keen Men’s Voyageur
We’ve used these on trips where we needed a single pair of shoes to handle city walking, exploring ruins, and a few rocky hikes – this shoe was PERFECT.
Pro: Super comfy, the Keen footbed is outstanding.
Con: Slightly longer break-in period than our other Keens
Tip: Tug on the heel strapping if they feel loose in the heel – almost sent them back until I discovered that.
Keen Men’s Newport H2 Sandal. We bought these for a tropical trip years ago and have been wearing them ever since (…2006 and they are still holding up). Great for use for paddling, short hikes, general kicking around.
Pro: Comfy out of the box, fit cradles your feet, breathable
Con: Could dry quicker, but we have the original models and they’ve gone through several style changes at this point.
Update: After around 6-9 months, I stopped using these. I loved them– but one foot did not feel the love back. I only wore them around the house and yard but I kept getting a random odd pulling sensation under one toe. So, as I mention below – these aren’t going to work for everyone.
I enjoy being barefoot around the house and yard, and these add just the right amount of protection. I don’t hike in these and I am not sure if I ever would (especially here in rocky NJ) but most of the Vibrams are made for hiking (as well as running, watersports etc).
Important: You MUST work up to walking around in Vibrams, as being “barefoot” uses different muscles. Check out vibramfivefingers.com for more info. Barefoot footwear has exploded in popularity in the last few years but it is not suitable for everyone.
Pro: Offers just enough protection, but still feels like being barefoot. Foot strength and flexability improved after only a few weeks of wearing them.
Con: Can be difficult to put on since toes fit snugly into individual pockets, and having spread toes is… different. Your shins may complain at first. If your second toe is longer than the big toe (common), Vibrams probably won’t work for you.
Sizing: Follow the instructions for finding your size. But even after double-checking, I had to go a size up than my measurements indicated. Wear these indoors for a bit before deciding to keep them, it’s hard to tell just in a store if you’ll like them.
Styles: I intended on getting the Classics but there is a stiff tab at the heel that my Achilles simply hated. The Jaya has a cushion at the heel, and a loser fit there [update: Jaya doesn’t seem to be available anymore]. Most of the other styles have a strap over the foot to keep it on while running or for water sports. There are other companies that make barefoot styles without individual toes, such as Merrell’s Trail Glove.
These are great all around travel shoes and are especially good for trips that are mostly city but also have a few rugged spots thrown in – like the ruins in Italy and Greece for example.
Pro: Super duper comfy… wear them all day long with no problems. They take a beating and still look good – my first pair is from 2007 and is still going.
Low-cut, high-cut, shoe or boot?
It comes down to personal preference and what fits, really.
For most dayhikers, a low-cut hiking shoe or even a trail running shoe will work fine. There are mid-cut styles for more ankle protection.
For backpacking and carrying a heavy pack, you’ll probably want a sturdier boot than what we show here.
Waterproof or not?
Waterproof styles can be warm in the summer. If that’s when you mostly hike then consider a more breathable shoe, as they can dry out pretty quickly in summer. We lean toward Gore-Tex because we tend to use the same pair year-round.
- It’s best to try on shoes at the end of the day when feet are swollen.
- It pays to be picky and informed with something you will be hiking for hours in: I’ve tried on a crazy amount of shoes before deciding to make a purchase, have walked around indoors in pair for days before deciding to keep it, and when ordering online I usually try two sizes of the same shoe.
- Expect to pay $85-$150 for a good pair of hiking shoes. Gore-Tex or waterproof styles usually average $120.
- Work those end-of-season sales: getting “last year’s” colors or style can save you big bucks. If you have an uncommon size, clearance racks can be your friend.

Vishal Mehta spoke to Law360 about the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Democrats calling for additional funding and legislative changes to address a massive surge in deal notifications in a statement issued as part of an annual report on merger filing, while the Republican commissioners argued that a spike last year was addressed without any of the sweeping changes the Democrats have pushed through.
“While the report itself is unremarkable, the dueling statements from the FTC commissioners reflect the political divide within agency leadership and, more broadly, an argument over the future of U.S. merger enforcement,” Vishal said. “Chair Khan and Commissioner Slaughter cite unprecedented deal flow and resource constraints as factors necessitating equally unprecedented reforms. On the other hand, Commissioners Philips and Wilson argue that the reforms themselves are needlessly complicating review and fundamentally distorting merger enforcement as we know it.”

TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Like all great marriages in life, timing is everything. A large part of our LevaTime® shifting system is the timing and clocking of the outer and inner rings together. All of the Praxis ring combinations are precisely designed in concert for an optimized shifting experience. Praxis engineers spend an obscene amount of time laboring over tooth shape, ramping, and the precise location of shift elevators. All of this is done in order for the inner and outer ring to be in perfect sync at the moment you shift.
NO TWO TEETH ARE ALIKE
One thing many people notice right away is the complex shaping of the teeth on a Praxis chainring. With all the duties required of a chainring for smooth shifting, we needed to sculpt very elaborate teeth profiles to better control the chain during upshifts and downshifts. By forging a chainring where no two teeth are alike, we create a ring-set that allows the chain to smoothly move laterally and vertically.

Dave Kinsey- Sure, Why Not10.19.07   |   Posted in: Art & Design, Events   |   By: Kellis Landrum
Tags: Advertising, BLK/MRKT, Dave Kinsey, Fine Art, Galleries, Graphic Design, Illustration
If you’re a Dave Kinsey fan and have any hope of ever getting an original of his work, the opening of “Sure Why Not” at BLK/MMRKT Gallery this Saturday Oct 20th is mostly likely as good a chance as you will ever get.
Dave Kinsey is a powerhouse of the graffiti turned fine artist set. His latest work seems to have evolved a bit from the flat graphic illustrations we’re used to seeing into something a bit more painterly but still distinctly Dave Kinsey.
This is probably also a good chance to get a signed copy of the gallery’s new book BLK/MKT Two, including works by Tiffany Bozic, David Ellis, Mel Kadel, Dave Kinsey, Adam Kurtzman, Jeff Soto, just to name a few.

Lawrence mother: Police chief must go
Doreen Lawrence: Sir Paul was wrong to support officers
The mother of the murdered black teenager, Stephen Lawrence has repeated her call for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign.
On Thursday Sir Paul is due to appear before the inquiry into Stephen's death.
Speaking to BBC Two's current affairs programme Black Britain, Mrs Lawrence said: "Right from the word go he has defended his officers and at no time has he acknowledged what we were saying, that Stephen's murder was never investigated in the way that it should have been."
She says that the men who murdered her 18-year-old son in south London five years ago had ruined her life.
She says she feels no pity for them, only anger.
But she insists the five main suspects who appeared at the public inquiry in June should not be interviewed by the BBC's flagship current affairs series, Panorama.
She said: "Why on earth should they have a platform?
"They have had umpteen opportunities, so why do they need a platform now and why should Panorama give it to them?"
Panorama said: "Any BBC interview with the five is a long way off. A decision on whether or not to go ahead will be taken in due course.
"It will be arrived at in the light of the views of all concerned, including the Lawrence family."
Mrs Lawrence says that the strain of the past five years means that she would like to drop out of the public eye, but the fact that her son's killers are still at large makes it difficult to do.
Black Britain is on BBC Two at 1930 (1830 GMT) on Wednesday.

Thanks to the actions of people like Michael Vick, pit bulls have an unwarranted reputation as vicious villains. This puts many people off the breed, especially those with other pets. But with proper training, this gentle “nanny dog” will make the perfect roommate for any cat.
Pit bulls are strong, powerful and brave terriers. This makes them appealing to the sort of people who have no business owning dogs at all. They are not inherently vicious or aggressive. The classic pit bull is calm, watchful and, if provoked, courageous in his defense of home and family. Despite their reputation as dangerous, a well-trained pit bull is a fantastic family pet. They’re great with kids and other animals. All dogs require guidance on how to behave around other animals and your pit bull is no different. His eagerness to please his human, another trait that makes him appealing to unsuitable owners, means you can easily train him to live harmoniously with a cat.
Like most terriers, pit bulls do have a strong prey drive and an instinctive love of chasing. If left unchecked, this behavior can be problematic for a cat. But all dogs have instincts that aren’t suited to the domestic environment, that’s why we train them. An untrained border collie will gladly nip and herd people if allowed to fully indulge his instincts. Early socialization is key to ensuring that your pit bull treats your cat as a roommate, rather than a plaything.
Gradual Introductions and Training
It’s not smart to give any dog unsupervised interaction with a cat at first. The trick is to make introductions fun, calm and manageable. Leash your pit bull and allow him to approach the cat. For as long as he is polite and passive, give him verbal praise. If he gets excited or tries to chase, a quick tug on the leash will keep him in check. Then all you need do is cease the verbal praise. This way he’ll learn that when he steps out of line with the cat, the positive stimulus of praise that he was enjoying gets taken away. Over time, he’ll learn that good things happen when he’s polite to the cat and good things are removed when he isn’t.
Escape Routes for the Cat
Once you’re confident that your cat and pit bull are getting along, you can allow them to mingle freely around the house. It’s essential to make sure your cat can always get away from the dog, so never shut them in a room together and, if possible, arrange furniture so every room has a quick exit route. A cat who feels trapped or simply can’t get away from the annoying affections of a dog may become aggressive or agitated. This can certainly lead to confrontation, so do everything you can to avoid it.

[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/POLITICS/03/05/911.trial/story.ksm.fbi.jpg caption="White House is considering a military trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed." width=300 height=169]
The White House is considering recommending accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed be tried in a military court, a senior administration official tells CNN.
That would reverse Attorney General Eric Holder's plan unveiled back in November to have him tried in a civilian court in New York City, just blocks from where the World Trade Center stood.
"I am confident in the ability of our courts to provide these defendants a fair trial, just as they have for over 200 years," Holder said last fall.
Since that announcement Holder's plan has faced bipartisan opposition. Just last month he said the Justice Department "will have to take into account" the views of political leaders and others.
Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill argue Mohammed should be treated as a prisoner of war.
"These are not common criminals. They are war criminals and they should be treated according to the rules of the law of war... held by the military, interrogated for information that will protect Americans and help us win this war," said Sen. Joe Lieberman today a Connecticut independent and Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
Meanwhile, New York police have said the civilian court route would cost the city $200 million a year in a trial that could last years. They would need to set up 2,00 security checkpoints in lower Manhattan.
The American Civil Liberties Union is blasting the potential trial change.
"If the president flip-flops and retreats to the Bush military commissions, he will betray his campaign promise to restore the rule of law, demonstrate his principles are up for grabs and lose all credibility with Americans who care about justice and the rule of law," said Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU.
We'll have the raw politics of the possible new terror trial plan.
We also have new details on the California man who died after a shootout with Pentagon police. Investigators say John Patrick Bedell, 36, opened fire and wounded two officers last night. We learned today from California authorities Bedell had a history of mental health problems. The sheriff of San Benito County, California also says Bedell was reported missing by his family two months ago. He eventually returned home and at that point his mother thought he might have bought a gun. Records also show Bedell had other run-ins with police over the years. We'll have that information and show you what seems to be his internet rants against the government. John Avlon says Bedell is the latest example of a suicidal warrior in an anti-government movement that's spreading since Pres. Obama took office last year. Avlon shares his view tonight on 360°.
And, there's a new sex scandal linked to the Vatican. This time two laypeople, an usher and choir member, are accused of being part of a gay prostitution ring that allegedly involved members of the seminary.
We also have an Oscars preview for you. Anderson chatted with Kelly Ripa about her Academy Award picks.
We also did some research to uncover the keys to winning. Don't forget to join our live Oscar blog hosted by 360° Producer/Writer Jack Gray on Sunday night. It's your chance to weigh in about the fashion scene, the speeches and winners/losers.

I'm an American citizen who cares about Justice and the rule of law and I say these are terrorists, war criminals, they attacked our country and they should be tried in a Military court in Gitmo, keep them far away from us.
There are two problems: Politics and Principle and the reality that politics trumps principle when you don't have the votes to make things go the way you want. President Obama botched his first year with a full court press on Health Care which is a dead issue due to the midterm elections (in which demos are going to take a big hit).
The President has taken too much time on drawing people together to make decisions that decisions don't get made in a timely manner. IF this case goes to a military tribunal and not tried in a civilian court (and the Feds are going to have to pick up the bill for not talking with New York before announcing their decisions about the trials), the President's credibility will be severely damaged and may affect his ability to be reelected in 2012.
Reinvent with a court house Alcatraz and send them there !
The real sadness of the Pentagon shooting is that the man has been mentally ill for years and right now, in this country, no one cares. He has been in hospitals, his parents have tried to seek help, and yet he was allowed to go until he became a criminal before anyone cared. These feelings are not unusual for a bipolar person and it is not even an economic problem, politics, or national crises that precipitates the action. It can just be irrational thinking. Homeless shelters and the streets are full of mentally ill people who need help, but we closed the hospitals and provided no other treatment for them. Most of them don't vote and they can't afford a lobby, so we can forget them.
If 360 wants a real story, they should do one on the lack of help for this poor man and the plight of families dealing with this same problem, afraid day after day that just such an incident will happen to their loved one.
What is appalling is that the federal court trial could cost $200m.That for me in the current ecomomic climate is ridiculuous.
On the other hand I still think he should be tries in a federal court under those rules of evidence. It is clear he tried to blow up the plane and passengers and he can be charged with Multiple offences. the fact he failed is not relevant to me in terms of sentencing.
If there were serious flaws in reading him his miranda rights, then unfortunately you fix the problem by Military tribunal
I say cut the costs by trying under federal law him in the much under utilised prison facility, that has been proposed for Guantanamo inmates.
Much cheaper security wise.
Why not hold the Federal civilian trial on a military base in New York State? Pick the jury in New York City who have agree to be sequestered on the base. Provide good food and lodging for all, office space for the lawyers etc. Can't blame N.Y.C. for not wanting this dangerous circus in the middle of their city. It would be cheaper and safer for all concerned. If a situation like this requires a vote of Congress, forget it.
I think spending any NY or American Tax Dollars to give foreign combatants a chance to stage their hatred is as stupid as giving illegal mexicans rights and benefits.
Let the Military try these people. They are War Criminals under the description of the Geneva Convention and should be tried in a Military Court.
If found guilty, they should be executed or sentenced to long prison terms.
Let the terrorist combatants trials be held by military tribunals in GITMO. We should streamline these trials and complete them promptly. The combatants do not deserve the rights of patriotic taxpaying American citizens. American citizens have suffered enough from 9/11 in any way you want to measure it. So, let's get on with it, Mr. President. Let some retired military volunteers conduct these trials under the counsel of the Secretary of Defense.
In the Midwest, we are not afraid to take the Guantanamo Bay prisoners in Thomsen, IL; and we are not afraid to hold accountable the 911 terrorist suspects.
It isn't just the money or traffic congestion in New York. In the heart of the country we are amazed that New Yorkers are not more than anxious to bring these terrorists to trial in the criminal justice system. We trust the system and know that it works. New York, let's get these guys tried, put this matter behind us and move on. Enough already.
The Geneva Convention does NOT protect Civilian Combatants NOT in uniform or as an organized military.
According to the Geneva Convention Civilian Combatants are subject to summary justice when captured, meaning a quick execution.
The military officials have the authority to summarily execute or try and punish Civilian Combatants captured during combat.
Just look at the Nuremburg Trials after World War II. The defendants were tried for violating the rules of war and executed or sentenced to prison terms.
The Vatican never runs short of sex scandels it appears. What is hidden behind the dark walls of Vatican City?
Terrorist are terrorist, they are not civilians and they do not deserve the same rights our civilian population does.
I guess the question here is is terrorism an act of war or a garden variety crime, like murder? If it's war, then terrorists need to face military courts. If it's crime, then domestic courts.
If it's a criminal matter, then nations that sponsor terrorism get a pass to continue their funding and training of terrorists.
A gay prostitution ring in the Vatican – good grief. While I know that this could have occurred anywhere in any church, this one does seem to have been strategically located with the seminary students a source for business. Whoever got this ring going knew about locating a good market niche. Looking forward to hearing more about this story.
On the trial for the mastermind of 9/11 – the trial should be in a military court since this is an enemy combatant. These type of people have been tried in military courts before and they should continue to be. Besides, NY has already had to pay innumerable dollars for the attack; why add insult to injury by having them pay for the trial too??

Have you ever wondered why photos on Airbnb, UberEats and your favorite hotel platform always look so good? French startup Meero has been working on a marketplace and AI-powered technology to make it easy to get good photos of products and places.
The company has raised a new $45 million round led by Alven Capital and Idinvest. Eight months ago, Meero already raised $15 million from Global Founders Capital, Aglaé Ventures, Alven Capital and White Star Capital.
“We focused on this idea because we wanted to make the web beautiful,” co-founder and CEO Thomas Rebaud told me last year. “We realized that we are all on Instagram and that photos are beautiful. But then, you go on a marketplace and photos aren’t great.”
The company first looked at the real estate market and partnered with real estate companies to optimize the photography process as much as possible.
It starts with finding a photographer. Instead of working with hundreds of photographers in hundreds of cities, Meero lets you find a photographer in over a hundred countries. Prices, contracts and processes are all standardized in order to avoid any surprise. Meero takes a cut on every transaction.
After the shooting, photographers usually have to spend hours selecting and editing the best photos. This usually takes even longer than the shooting itself.
Meero has been working on AI-powered algorithms so that you don’t have much to do. You upload your photos, and the service will automagically take care of the editing. By speeding up this process, a photographer can work on more projects. And Meero can also cut variable costs drastically — this is key when it comes to Meero’s scalability.
With today’s funding round, the startup is going to open new offices in the U.S. and somewhere in Asia. Meero will also hire more computer vision experts in France.
Meero currently has 40,000 clients and processes a new transaction every 30 seconds. Clients usually get photos within 24 hours. The company now also lets you order videos from the same platform.
