Democrats got bad news about some disturbing Joe Biden poll numbers
Democrats have done a good job of shielding Joe Biden from the public.
There is a reason officials go to such lengths to keep Biden out of view as much as possible.
And Democrats got bad news about some disturbing Joe Biden poll numbers.
During the last campaign, Donald Trump warned that Joe Biden would serve as a puppet for the radical Left.
Biden scoffed at those claims.
But nearly six months into his term and many Americans now agree with Donald Trump.
A new poll by the Trafalgar Group conducted for Convention of the States Action found that just 36 percent of Americans believe Joe Biden is in charge of his administration.
A majority, 56.5 percent, said “no, others are directing policy and agenda,” compared to 36.4 percent who believe Biden is truly directing all his own policies and agenda items.
While the majority of Democrats, 58.6 percent, believe he is directing his own policy and agenda, the same cannot be said of Republicans, 83.6 percent of whom believe others are directing Biden’s policy and agenda. Notably, a majority of independent voters agree with Republicans that others are calling the shots for Biden.
Joe Biden’s agenda as well as his oftentimes confused behavior is likely driving these results.
Biden pitched himself to the voters as a common sense centrist.
But in office, Biden’s proposed trillions in new spending, the biggest tax increase in American history, a Green New Deal-style socialist welfare bill, as well as throwing open the borders.
That’s the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/Bernie Sanders agenda.
And that’s why so few Americans think Joe Biden is actually the one in charge.

Yalitza Aparicio to star in first Spanish-language series on Apple TV
Aparicio will star in the series 'Midnight Family': Apple TV's first production in Spanish.
MORE IN THIS SECTION
The series Midnight Family is now in production in Mexico City, according to press reports.
The series is based on the documentary of the same name that “explores the streets of Mexico City alongside the Ochoa family, whose ambulance service deals with life-or-death situations every night.” This film, directed by the American director Luke Lorentzen, won the special jury prize for Best Cinematography at the Sundance Festival in 2019.
The new Apple TV show tells the story of a medical student raised among paramedics. The young woman attends classes during the day while at night she works in her parents' private ambulance business.
Although the premiere date of the new series is still undetermined, it is known that it will have 10 episodes and will star the Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio and Joaquín Cosío (known for her performance in the series Narcos: México). They are joined by Óscar Jaenada (who has worked on Cantinflas), Renata Vaca (who has a role in Dale Gas), Diego Calva (also from Narcos: México) and Mariana Gómez (from the popular series La Reina del Flow), among others. Their roles in the series has to be revealed.
Natalia Beristáin, from Luis Miguel: The Series, will be the director of the Apple TV production, which is already considered historic. It is the first time the streaming platform will film a series entirely in Spanish.
The confirmation of Midnight Family and the leading role are good news for Aparicio, whose figure gained international recognition after being nominated for an Oscar in 2019 for her acting debut in the film Roma, directed by Alfonso Cuaron.
The Mexican filmmaker described Yalitza as a person “incredibly grounded in her truth and not easily swept away by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.” He also said that she “focuses on being a force of change and empowerment for indigenous women, embracing the symbolic value of what she has done and carrying that responsibility with dignity and grace.”
After Roma, Yalitza was included in the list of 100 most influential people of TIME magazine and continued adding film projects to her career, including Presencias, which will be released in 2022 on ViX, the new streaming platform of Televisa and Univision.

The Finnish Government submitted a formal proposal to join NATO to its national parliament on Monday, which will then have to be ratified by all 30 NATO members. However, Turkey is delaying their approval due to tensions between them and Sweden – another country undergoing NATO accession.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, Finland decided to forego their long-standing 'neutral' stance on armed conflicts and opted to join NATO in May and was also joined by their Scandinavian neighbour Sweden.
As the government proposed the passing of the NATO protocols to the country's lawmakers on Monday, Finland has taken "another step forward towards the accession process,” stated Finland's Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto in the Finnish Parliament.
- Sweden edges towards NATO membership
- NATO claims Ukraine has suffered a 'horrific start to the winter'
- Washington approves sale of anti-aircraft missiles to Finland
Parliamentarians will now decide whether to approve the government's proposal. After which it will have to be ratified by the President Sauli Niinistö. Finally, their membership bid will have to be ratified by all 30 NATO members.
The only NATO Member States yet to approve both Scandinavian countries' membership bids are Hungary and Turkey. While Hungary's approval is expected in the coming weeks, Turkey is stalling the process over Sweden's historic support for pro-Kurdish groups.

Although hydraulic fracturing operations take a relatively short amount of time to complete, the process requires the use of advanced technology and a variety of equipment. From data monitoring to hydraulic fracturing blenders and pumps, this highly developed and regulated process involves a flurry of activities.
1. Water, sand and
additives are mixed at the surface and pumped at high pressures down the wellbore.
2. The fracturing fluid flows through the perforated sections of the wellbore and into the surrounding formation, fracturing it while carrying sand or proppants into the cracks to hold them open.
3. Experts continually monitor pressures and fluid properties during the process, and adjust operations as necessary.
4. This process is typically completed in multiple sections of the wellbore, commonly referred to as stages. Typically stages are isolated using a plug to allow energy or pressure to be applied to a smaller portion of the formation to help maximize the fractures created in the target formation.
5. The plugs are removed from the wellbore and the well’s pressure is reduced during the flowback process, leaving the sand in place to prop open the cracks and allow natural gas and/or oil to flow.
6. Produced water, collected during the flowback process and throughout the life of the well, is properly disposed of or treated and re-used in the next hydraulic fracturing operation.
Unlike shallow projects, such as shallow coalbed methane (CBM), the producible portions of
natural gas and oil formations exist many thousands of feet below the surface. Across the U.S. the average depth of a Chesapeake well is 7,700 feet (almost 1.5 miles below the earth’s surface and many thousands of feet below freshwater formations). This number varies depending on the development area. Chesapeake does not conduct any production or hydraulic fracturing activities in fresh
groundwater aquifers. In fact, across its natural gas and oil operations, groundwater aquifers and producing formations are separated by thousands of feet of protective rock barriers.

Review of The Original Jill Scott from the Vault, Vol. 1 Album by Jill Scott
When receiving this album I was a little surprised to be reviewing another Jill Scott album so soon to her last release 'The Light Of The Sun'. However, with a little investigation I soon realised that this release is related to her former record label Hidden Beach Recordings and due to legal contracts and obligations we have 'The Original Jill Scott from the Vault, Vol. 1'.
Well, most fans of Jill Scott won't be complaining as previously unreleased tracks featured on this album that were to be released at a later date have been unearthed to oblige the former contract with Jill Scott and the label. Despite the legal ramblings, this album once again showcases Jill Scott as a premier soul artist. With such sweet numbers as 'I Don't Know (Gotta Have You)', 'Wake Up Baby' and 'Running Away', it's clear to see that Jill Scott is top of her game in every way. From a song writing and singing point of view, Jill Scott is a different league to many in the industry. We get a version of 'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers produced by Jazzy Jeff.
There are lots of aspects within the music industry that make it a business and the release of this album is definitely related to that; however, the artist is what makes the business work and no one can deny from listening to 'The Original Jill Scott from the Vault, Vol. 1' that Jill Scott is a truly brilliant artist. I guess it would have been a shame to never have heard this material so I suppose it's good for a fan to have heard tracks featured on this album. For Scott, it may not have been put together possibly quite how she would have liked but there's no denying it sounds good and that's purely down to her talent.

“Chun-Li” is a song by Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj from her fourth studio album, Queen (2018), released on April 12, 2018 by Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records as the lead single from the album. It was written by Minaj and produced by Jeremy Reid. Commercially, the song peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, reached the top 20 in Canada, and the top 30 in France and the United Kingdom. It won the award for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.
In March 2017, Minaj released a three-single pack that included “Changed It” with Lil Wayne, “No Frauds” with Drake and Wayne, and “Regret in Your Tears“, intended as lead singles for Queen but eventually did not make the final cut. On April 10, 2018, Minaj announced on Instagram that she will be releasing two new songs: “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” on April 12, and also posted cover artworks of the respective singles. “Chun-Li”, which takes its name from the Street Fighter character of the same name, was released alongside the buzz single “Barbie Tingz” as a part of Minaj’s upcoming fourth studio album Queen (2018) and made available for streaming and digital download on April 12 by Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. The release of songs landed on the 10th anniversary of Minaj’s second mixtape, Sucka Free (2008). On May 30, Minaj posted a video showing the making of the song, in preview of her upcoming documentary about the making of Queen set to air on HBO Max in 2021.

A popular critic of President Muhammadu Buhari government, Farooq Kperogi, has mocked Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai over his comment on the past administration.
Naija News understands that Governor El-Rufai had earlier warned Nigerians against voting for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
According to the All Progressive Congress (APC) governor, things would likely go back to how they used to be far back 2015 if PDP is voted for.
Reacting to El-Rufai’s comment, Kperogi said it appears to him that the Kaduna State governor is steadily campaigning for the nation’s opposition party.
The United States associate professor of journalism said El-Rufai and APC government should know better that Nigerians are eager to see things return to how they were before the ruling party took over power in 2015.
“It looks to me like Kaduna State governor Nasir el-Rufai is stealthily campaigning for the PDP, the party that brought him from obscurity to national limelight,” Kperogi tweeted on Thursday, November 26.
He added: “He reportedly said on Nov. 24, ‘Don’t make the mistake of voting PDP back into office in 2023. If you do, things will go back to what they used to be.
“Most Nigerians, including those who were severely critical of the PDP in 2015, are now so disillusioned with the dreadful ineptitude of the APC that all they want at this point is for “things [to] go back to what they used to be.”
In another news, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has warned the people of the state against casting their votes for some group of politicians in 2023.
This is as the Governor blamed the challenges facing the state on former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, and ex-Kaduna North counterpart, Suleiman Hunkuyi.
He said if not for these two people, Kaduna would have made more appreciable progress.

India’s Department of Telecom has launched Sanchar Saathi Portal which helps track lost or stolen phones in India. It will also help users verify the authenticity of their devices before buying them.
Telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the portal will help people block, track and check the genuineness of a second-hand device before buying them.
“First leg of the Sanchar Saathi portal is CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register). If you lose your mobile phone, then you can visit this portal. There will be some identity verification, requirement of undertaking and immediately after this the portal will interact with law enforcement agencies and telecom service providers and block your lost mobile phone,” Vaishnaw said.
The Sanchar Saathi portal (link here) has a Know Your Mobile Facility feature which allows users to check if a used device is genuine. “We feel confident that at least with these reforms, at least the rising trends in cyber frauds will be seriously controlled and we will be able to bring them down,” Vaishnaw said.
Sanchar Saathi portal is versatile and can perform various duties
Additionally, TAFCOP on the portal lets users check if there is another mobile number operating in their name without their knowledge or consent. The service has been developed by C-DoT, a technology development wing of the DoT. It helps find out cloned mobile phones in any network in India.
The Indian government has mandated the discloser of the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, a 15-digit unique code assigned to each individual phone which helps with the authorization of mobile phones across Indian networks.
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) will have access to the list of approved IMEI numbers which will help determine unauthorized mobile phones on their network.
After phones are stolen, their IMEI number is changed making their tracking difficult. The CEIR will check and block any cloned device on the cellular network with the database.
C-DOT has already been conducting the trial for the technology in Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and North East. Just recently, Karnataka Police tracked and handed over 2,500 lost mobile phones to their owners with the help of the CEIR system.
DoT believes that Sanchar Saathi will help curb the smuggling of phones and eliminate the grey market.


Just because some state officials want to jump off a financial cliff by trying to borrow their way out of the financial debacle in which Illinois is mired, university leaders shouldn’t hold hands and join them.
The desperation of universities is understandable as they wait — wait and wait — for money owed to them by the state.
But the state would be doing the universities no favors by authorizing them to borrow up to 75 percent of their payrolls to pay bills through Aug. 31 in anticipation of receiving money owed to them by the state, as called for in pending legislation, Senate Bill 416.
The borrowed money would have to be repaid with interest. We doubt the state will cover those interest costs. In fact, at this point, we doubt the state will even pay everything it owes to the universities.
Illinois State University is owed more than $50 million. A university spokesman said the school doesn’t think it will need to borrow money — unless the state financial situation gets worse.
Meanwhile, other universities are already in dire straits. Southern Illinois University, which barely made payroll in December, is worried about having enough money for its March payroll.
But borrowing money without a solid plan for repayment — whether the money is borrowed by the state, universities or individuals — will make financial problems worse, not better.
If the governor and Legislature really want to help the universities, then they should get serious about addressing the state’s financial problems and pay what’s owed.
There’s more to SB 416 than just the authorization for universities to borrow money. It also would allow Gov. Pat Quinn to borrow up to $250 million for Medicaid expenses.
Usually, such short-term borrowing would require approval of the comptroller and treasurer; this bill circumvents that.
Why? Probably because Comptroller Dan Hynes blocked a previous attempt because it didn’t include a viable plan for repaying the money — and this proposal is no better.
At the time, Quinn and Hynes were locked in a primary battle for the Democratic nomination for governor. Quinn’s supporters attempted to paint Hynes’ refusal as politics. Well, the primary election is over and Quinn won. But Hynes apparently is sticking to his guns or else Quinn wouldn’t need this legislation.
The sooner the state quits acting like the person who thinks there’s still money in his account because there are checks in his checkbook, the better all of us will be.


VW enters compact SUV market with T-roc
VOLKSWAGEN’S T-ROC – ANNOUNCED IN Europe in late August – is its entry into the highly-competitive compact crossover SUV market.
Smaller than VW’S well-regarded and popular Tiguan, the new wagon hits European showrooms in November, and can be expected to come here during 2018.
VW chairman, Dr Herbert Diess, says the T-roc “marks a milestone in our SUV offensive” into the booming SUV market which he expects to “almost double in size over the next decade.”
Like the Tiguan, the T-roc is based on VW’S modular transverse matrix (MQB). It will be marketed in Europe with a choice of six turbocharged engines: three petrol and three diesel.
The wagon will be sold in front- or allwheel drive versions and there’ll be a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG self-shifting manual gearboxes.
The T-roc is the first Volkswagen SUV with available two-tone paintwork. The twotone finish sees the roof, A-pillars and exterior mirror housings finished in a contrasting colour to the main bodywork.
Luggage space varies from 445 litres when all five seats are occupied to 1290 litres with the rear seat backrests folded down.
All models sold in Europe get air conditioning, Composition Colour infotainment system, LED tail-light cluster, a black underbody-guard, and LED daytime running lights in the bumper.
Standard on all T-rocs are VW’S Automatic Post-collision Braking System, the active lane keeping system Lane Assist and the Front Assist area monitoring system with Pedestrian Monitoring and City Emergency Braking
Options are adaptive cruise control (ACC), a reversing camera, a lane change system that includes Rear Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, Traffic Jam Assist, and Park Assist including manoeuvring brake function.
As well as the base model, VW will offer higher-spec Sport and Style T-rocs.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KFSM) — A Bentonville man is facing several charges after stealing from multiple businesses around the area.
According to a probable cause affidavit, in August and September 22-year-old Nickolas Layton went on a stealing spree at several Target stores.
The affidavit states that On August 21, Layton stole two Xbox controllers and two cell phones from a Target in Rogers by sticking them in his socks. He cut his hand while trying to open the cell phone boxes, leaving blood behind.
Before leaving the store, he used a debit card to purchase a drink, eventually leading police to his identity.
Surveillance video shows Layton leaving the store parking lot in Honda Accord.
He returned to the Rogers store on August 29 in the same vehicle and stole a Belkin Qi charger, an Apple charging cord and an Apple Watch charger. Again he cut himself while trying to open the security boxes the items were stored in and left blood at the scene.
The store manager told police Layton's vehicle had broken down in the parking lot, so he was able to take photos of the car.
On August 30, Layton was caught on surveillance footage stealing a GoPro camera from the Fayetteville Target.
On September 2, Layton was seen on surveillance cameras at Best Buy in Rogers concealing a display Apple Macbook in his pants and leaving the store.
Layton now faces three counts of Breaking or Entering Class D felony, Theft of Property Class D felony, two counts of Theft of Property Class A Misdemeanor, and two counts of Criminal Mischief in the first degree, a Class A misdemeanor.

Constructed of full metal, including the receivers, outer barrel and rail system, this M4 airsoft rifle is extremely rugged unlike polymer body airsoft guns, making it able to withstand high-impact BB contacts. Unlike other AR-type AEGs, this M4 airsoft rifle features a RAS II rail system with integrated riser rail for low-profile red/green dot sights. Aside its full metal build, this CYMA M4 also features a functional bolt release that lets you to easily adjust the one-piece metal hop-up. The CYMA M4 RAS II CM005 AEG also comes with a full metal front sight post that you can easily co-witness with most rifle scopes. When it comes to internals, this CYMA CM005 AEG features a reinforced Version 2 gearbox for reliability, ported cylinder for optimal air compression, and a 290x6.05mm inner barrel for optimal CQB length. While CYMA CM005 shoots north of 400 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs), you can upgrade the spring to play in indoor fields.
Ammo type: Seamless 0.20g or heavier (0.23g, 0.25g, 0.26g, 0.28g, etc) BBs. For maximum performance and accuracy, Airsoft Megastore recommends GoldenBall ProSlick BBs which carry perfect spherical consistency and density, available at Airsoft Megastore for the lowest price on the market, guaranteed.
Battery Charger Recommendation: Although this fully automatic airsoft rifle comes with a standard wall charger to charge the battery, Airsoft Megastore recommends the use of a smart charger to avoid overcharging the battery(overcharged batteries may cause decreased airsoft gun performance and may shorten battery life significantly). Smart chargers not only shorten charge time significantly (up to 800% faster charging), but more importantly, also automatically shut off once the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharged batteries.

I had so many doubts about the Guardians of the Galaxy the first time I saw the trailer. I thought it would be Marvel’s first big flop and a huge misstep simply because of how different it seemed to be from all the other Marvel movies.

Marvel Studios has been releasing one to two films a year with enough of a tie-in to each other to ultimately connect them all. Each of these movies are a lead-up to the second Avengers film, Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will probably be the biggest movie in the history of superhero movies.Read more

I don’t review food often (never) on this blog. This is as close as I will get:
I didn’t know what to expect. Before last night I had never tried it.
From a texture standpoint I’d compare it to packing material. Not offensive, but sort of very light bricks.
From a flavor standpoint…well it’s ice cream. Really.
Obviously it’s not cold and doesn’t make a mess when eaten by kids.
I’m taking it camping this summer.

New Delhi: On the eve of the Budget Session of Parliament, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Wednesday expressed regret for his Hindu terror remark made at the Jaipur chintan shivir of the Congress last month.
|Swallowing own words: Shinde
“Whether it is BJP or RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), their training camps are promoting Hindu terrorism,“ he had said. Clarifying his statement, Shinde said he had no intention to link terror to any religion. “It has been understood to mean that I was linking terrorism to a particular religion.
There is no basis for suggesting that terror can be linked to organisations mentioned in my brief speech in Jaipur,” he said. “Since a controversy has been created on account of my statement, I am issuing this clarification and expressing regret to those who felt hurt by it,” he added.
According to sources, Shinde’s statement was worked out after Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj took an aggressive stance at the all-party meeting called by the Lok Sabha Speaker Meirakumar in the afternoon.
Sushma had said that if the BJP was training terrorists, as alleged by Shinde, then she should cease to be the leader of the opposition and her party members should not be allowed inside the Parliament.
As the government kept working on the wording of Shinde’s clarification, the delay in issuing it had created a lot of confusion by the evening. It was not just the BJP but also its allies in the NDA like the Shiv Sena and the JD(U) were not happy that the Home Minister seemed to dragging his feet over the promise that he had at the all-party meeting.
“The home minister had to retract his statement as the leaders of opposition in both the house of the Parliament cannot be dubbed as terrorists,” said BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. Congress leaders too agreed that Shinde had no option but to amend his comment as the party could not afford to suffer any damage.
“If you saw a lot of delay, it was because we were weighing all pros and cons,” said a Congress working committee member. Party sources also said that the government was keen to make the session productive.
Nothing Achived: RSS
According to sources in the RSS, they felt the BJP achieved nothing by getting an apology from Shinde. They said the Sangh feels Hindu terror or Hindutva terror are non-issues as they do not touch the concerns of the common people.
“Shinde’s remarks has not generated a public debate, so why should we bother,” asked a RSS pracharak. Another senior Sangh functionary said, “If today the government is willing to regret for Shinde’s remarks that is because it is on the back foot due to the chopper scam.
We are surprised that instead of taking up the copter deals, the BJP leaders are focussing on issues like Shinde and Katju.”

The Foxes playmaker is understood to be a key target for the Gunners this summer as they look to land a new no. 10.
Mikel Arteta is in need of more creativity in midfield, with Martin Odegaard looking unlikely to rejoin from Real Madrid on loan or permanently.
Leicester star Maddison has proven himself to be a highly influential part of Brendan Rodgers’ side when fit.
And the East Midlands side are understandably in no mood to let one of their most valuable assets leave.
According to the Daily Mail, Leicester would need to receive a bid in excess of £50m to open any kind of discussion with Arsenal, or any other parties.
But the Gunners are hoping that the inclusion of fringe members Nelson and Maitland-Niles would help to lower that asking price somewhat.
Utility man Maitland-Niles was eyed by the Foxes last January, and looked impressive during a loan spell with West Brom in the second half oblast season.
Will Arsenal sign James Maddison this summer? Let us know in the comments below
Also, it’s thought that Rodgers is looking to sign a winger at the King Power Stadium, and Nelson could still prove to be a top quality player at just 21 years old.
Leicester are said to have rejected a £70m bid from another Premier League club last season for Maddison, and the England international has since signed a new four-year deal.
That means his stock will be higher than ever, putting the Foxes in a strong position and without a need to sell.
Meanwhile, former Highbury favourite Ray Parlour has given Arteta a three-point to-do list in this summer’s transfer window.
He told talkSPORT : “I think they need another striker. I think they need another midfielder, alongside Partey. I think they need another player who’s mobile in there.
“And defensively you could argue that they need a right back, Bellerin is talked about that he could move on.”
Parlour’s wish looks to have been granted with Arsenal heading the queue of clubs looking to sign Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham this summer.
The Blues striker is set to leave Stamford Bridge having struggled for opportunities under Thomas Tuchel.

Movie shot at WMU, K College debuts at famed film fest
March 19, 2010
KALAMAZOO--"Cherry," an independent film shot in Kalamazoo in late 2008 had its world premier March 12 at the South by Southwest Film 2010 Film Festival in Austin, Texas.
Produced by Matthew and Jeffrey Fine, the film brings WMU's main campus and Kalamazoo College's campus into sharp focus as the idyllic and traditional setting for the lead character to launch a college career.
The film's Austin debut quickly garnered attention from those on hand to review the independent films being showcased.
"The film is reminiscent of wry, poignant sleepers like 'Juno,' 'Lars and the Real Girl' and 'Little Miss Sunshine,'" said New York Times Reviewer Jan Benzel, who noted the connection to WMU and K College.
"One of the best little films at this year's SXSW has to be 'Cherry,' directed by Jeffrey Fine," wrote movie blogger Charles Ealy of Austin360.com. "Why's it special? Partly because of the performances. Partly because of the depth of characterization. Partly because of assured direction."
MTV News, which was on hand for the festival, previewed the film with an online clip and said, "There are some great movies playing there, including this one from writer/director Jeffrey Fine."
The bulk of filming for "Cherry" occurred during four weeks in late 2008. Filmmakers used the two campuses as the setting for the feature-length movie about a college freshman coming of age at an Ivy League university. Originally interested in filming on WMU's engineering campus, the production crew ended up using a number of additional settings, including Vandercook Hall, the Richmond Center for Visual Arts, Gabel Natatorium and Fountain Plaza. In addition, a full complement of movie production staff took up residence in an unoccupied wing of Eldridge/Fox Halls for 10 weeks while they planned and shot the film.
"We were attracted to Michigan because of the new tax incentives offered to filmmakers," said screenwriter and director Jeffrey Fine about bringing his story to life in Kalamazoo. "Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University provided the perfect combination of picture postcard-looks and high-tech facilities that our script required."
The film stars Kyle Gallner of TV's "Veronica Mars" and "CSI: NY"; Laura Allen, who has appeared on TV's "Criminal Minds" and "Grey's Anatomy" as well as the film "Mona Lisa Smile"; and Brittany Robertson of the television hit "Life Unexpected" and the film "Dan in Real Life."
"Cherry" is set in Providence, R.I., at a fictional school much like Brown University. Fine was originally planning to shoot campus scenes in his native Virginia, but when his brother and partner Matthew Fine visited Ann Arbor for an art show in summer 2008, he heard about the incentives Michigan was offering and they quickly changed the shooting plans. They looked at numerous campuses around the state before settling on WMU and K-College.
"We needed a school that had an Ivy League feel," Jeffrey Fine told the Kalamazoo Gazette. "The K-College quad and WMU's East Campus fit that description."
The film's main character is torn between his engineering major and his love for art. Engineering classroom scenes included dozens of WMU engineering students pretending to be members of the fictional robotics class lecture. WMU's Robo Bronco, a robotic version of Buster Bronco, also had a role in the film.
Dozens of college students from WMU and K College worked as interns and extras on the movie during the month of on-campus filming. Traffic was rerouted on campus streets, campus buildings were strangely illuminated and students pulled weekend all-nighters to work as extras.
The Fine brothers are working with officials from both campuses to bring the film to Kalamazoo for a Michigan premier this spring.

Nonresidential Construction Remains Weak in February
McGraw-Hill Construction's report on new construction starts in February showed continuing weakness in commercial structures, despite a 5% increase in overall new construction volume over the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $440.9 billion.
Much of the lift was provided by the public works sector, reflecting strength for transportation and environmental projects and some improvement in home building, McGraw-Hill Construction said.
Nonresidential dropped 7% during the month following a 12% gain in January.
On an unadjusted basis, total construction for the first two months of this year amounted to $57.2 billion, essentially the same amount as reported for the same period of 2009.
“The pattern shown during February is what’s expected for 2010 as a whole — more public works construction, improved activity for residential building, but further weakness for nonresidential building,” said Robert A. Murray, vice president of economic affairs for McGraw-Hill Construction.
Murray indicated that federal stimulus funding will continue this year to help boost highway and bridge construction in the public works sector. “However,” he said, “the tough environment for project financing remains a substantial constraint.”
February’s findings “held few surprises,” according to NAHB Senior Economist Bernard Markstein. “Federal stimulus funds are driving large infrastructure projects. Transportation, education and healthcare represent the areas of greatest strength. Strictly commercial projects continue to struggle. If there’s any optimism, it’s that we’ve been though the worst and hit bottom and we will begin to see a turnaround. If housing continues to improve, commercial will be close behind.”
“The report underscores what NAHB has been championing for a long time — that AD&C (acquisition, development and construction) credit availability is key to any recovery in commercial and residential activity and employment,” said Carl Harris, chairman of NAHB’s Commercial Builders Council and vice president and general manager of The Carl Harris Company in Wichita, Kan.
“While my company has been able to take advantage of the available public project funds, banks have to recognize that there’s money to be made in the light commercial market and should set more reasonable lending standards for AD&C credit so we can get back to work on the projects waiting to be built,” Harris said.

Justice at Gitmo
The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on whether foreign terrorism suspects at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have a constitutional right to challenge their detention in civilian courts. This is the court's chance to "redeem America's
The Supreme Court on Wednesday is hearing arguments on whether foreign terrorism suspects at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have a constitutional right to challenge their detention in civilian courts. The decision, expected in June, will determine whether the Bush administration can continue holding “enemy combatants” indefinitely. (AP via Time.com)
What the commentators said
A lot is at stake here for President Bush, said Jess Bravin in The Wall Street Journal (via Google News). A decision to deny these prisoners the right to challenge their detention “could validate the administration's view that, as a legal matter, the entire world is the battlefield in its war on terrorism.” If the justices rule the other way, it could cause “scores of prisoners to air claims of wrongful imprisonment.” Either way, this case “will help shape the president's legacy.”
The right to challenge one’s detention before a judge—habeas corpus—is one of the most basic rights in our system, said the Los Angeles Times in an editorial (free registration). The Supreme Court last year reprimanded the Bush administration for setting up military tribunals without involving Congress, but the Military Commissions Act of 2006 failed to make it clear that the Guantanamo detainees could file habeas appeals. “It would have been preferable if Bush and Congress had granted to detainees at Guantanamo their day in court. But that failure is the court's opportunity to redeem America's reputation for fairness.”
The U.S. is already upholding its reputation for fairness, said Richard Samp in USA Today. These detainees already have a “full panoply of rights” that “have never been accorded to military detainees in past wars.” A “sizable number” of them have already successfully challenged their detention in Combatant Status Review Tribunals, which strike the “proper balance” in the effort to respect basic rights during a war. It would be wrong for the justices to “second-guess” the military while there’s a war on.

Exploring character strength and life satisfaction in pediatric cancer: A mixed method approach
While increased difficulties in adjustment and well-being have been hypothesized by pediatric cancer research, studies have not consistently demonstrated increased distress and adjustment problems. Rather, results indicate that children with cancer and those who have survived report low levels of psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress, and appear to adjust well over time. The current study utilizes a mixed method approach to explore the experiences of children who have had pediatric cancer and to gain understanding of the personal characteristics or individual qualities (i.e., character strengths) that contribute to their life satisfaction. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were utilized. Interview transcriptions were analyzed using content analysis. Three categories of individual qualities were described as helping participants through the cancer experience: hope/optimism, religious faith, and humor. Additionally, four categories emerged as important with regard to participants’ life satisfaction, including participants’ inability to participate in activities due to treatment and health, difficulties related to treatment, social support, and using distraction. Six overarching themes emerged regarding personal strengths and the cancer experience in general and are discussed. Further, results also suggested that several of the VIA character strengths were important in dealing with pediatric cancer. Implications for future research and programming are discussed. ^

Development of a technical field of the «bio-sensory e-health systems» through the prism of a patent analysis
The article presents the results of the multi-criteria patent analysis, which describes certain features of the development of the technological field of the «bio-sensory devices for measuring physiological indexes» at its current stage. The article notes that suggested technical solutions are characterized by multidisciplinary features and by a stable in-line growth of patent activity in the past two decades. An absolute technological leader in this field is the United States, however, in the period between 2010 and 2015 a rapidly growing number of patents were granted to Chinese residents. The article demonstrates that citizens of Russian Federation exhibit a considerably lower, compared to other countries, productive activity in the area of bio-sensory devices. The Russian patent landscape in this industrial area is characterized by stagnation of patent activity in the period of 2014–2015, by an insignificant number of patent documents released overseas and by the absolute absence of triad patent communities. The conclusion is made that domestic capacities in this area are noncompetitive which should be considered when choosing scientific-technological priorities of the country.

The most beautiful way to grow herbs, house plants or flowers indoor while using the same plants to clean aquarium water with ease!
Support this Project on Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kevinzl/ecoqube-desktop-ecosystem-that-grow-flowers-and-he
WELL DESIGNED – Built from scratch and 3D printed with every aspect examined and every detail refined. We worked extremely hard to build this from the ground up with a bigger purpose. So that we can scale this same filter for purposes like water sewage treatment, waste water clean-up and even filters for aquaculture.
INNOVATIVE – First ever: compact UV, filter with LED and 2″ filter that pump 100 gallons per hour
BEAUTIFUL – Nature’s most exquisite decoration for any space.
Our names are Eric and Kevin. We’re UC San Diego students and aquarium geeks who met in high school and instantly became intrigued by planted aquatic ecosystems. As we got older, we realized the bigger challenges humanity as a whole faces in terms of food and water shortages so we decided to use our knowledge of aquariums to deliver the concept of aquaponics and the impact it can have to as many people as possible. Here’s some background on us and what we’ve done:
We started out working in various stores. Kevin actually served as a biologist assistant at the Steinhart Aquarium (California Academy of Sciences) where he managed and maintained 100,000 gallon systems as well as serve as the operations manager at Aquatic Central, the largest aquarium specific store in San Francisco. Eric was one of the first employees at Archaea International Corporation (DBA Aqua Forest Aquarium) also based in San Francisco where he focused on sales, customer relations and product user interface development.
We brought our love of aquatic ecosystems with us to college, going from keeping aquariums in a garage in SF to a closet in San Diego. We decided against on-campus housing because we couldn’t bear to part from our passion for aquariums. Right now, we create unique aquatic ecosystems for people in SF and SD, but we’d like to expand our reach to you through the EcoQube!

Amidst the ongoing Farmer’s protest in Punjab, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut expressed her views which did not go well with many celebrities from the Punjabi film industry. The actress blocked Bigg Boss 13 fame Himanshi Khurana and few others after they slammed her for her opinion on Twitter. Since this morning, Kangana is caught up in a war of words with singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh. As the Twitter war continues, a user praised Dosanjh for speaking up against Ranaut and slammed Bollywood celebrities for not standing up and keeping mum. Now, Taapsee Pannu reacted to the user.
On Twitter, amidst Diljit Dosanjh and Kangana Ranaut’s war of words, a social media user tweeted, “Tragic state of Bollywood - even after so much abuse & slander they kept mum on Kangana. Finally a Punjabi Singer / Actor had to deal with the guttermouth; reveals just how hollow, impotent & stupine Bollywood has become. Not being able to stand up for the nation - or for itself.” Reacting to the tweet made by the user, actress Swara Bhasker expressed her disagreement on the user’s accusations that B-Town celebrities kept mum and stayed silent. Swara replied, “Not everyone kept mum,” and tagged Taapsee Pannu and Richa Chadha in the tweet she made. Replying to the tweet, Taapsee said, “That’s always been the problem here. Hum kuch mayeno mein “outsiders” hi rahenge na #AProudOutsider.” The Thappad actress said that keeping quiet and not saying anything has always been a problem in Bollywood. She then called herself a ‘proud outsider’ and mentioned that in some way, they will always be outsiders.
Take a look at the conversation that Taapsee Pannu was a part of, below:
That’s always been the problem here. Hum kuch mayeno mein “outsiders” hi rahenge na :) #AProudOutsider— taapsee pannu (@taapsee) December 3, 2020
Meanwhile, amidst Diljit Dosanjh and Kangana Ranaut’s social media war, many users and celebrities including Swara Bhasker and Kubbra Sait lauded the Good Newwz actor for speaking up against the Manikarnika actress.

India has reported new cases of bird flu in nearly 200 villages in the western state of Maharashtra, the site of two earlier outbreaks this year.
Officials say they suspect the virus could be the deadly H5N1 strain and tests are underway on samples from the birds. No cases were reported in humans.
Officials say some 250,000 birds would have to be culled.
Reports from the region say the affected villages are in the neighboring states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The affected region includes Maharashtra's Jalgaon district, which also reported India's second set of infections of H5N1 earlier this month.
Meanwhile, a European laboratory has confirmed that a buzzard found dead in Denmark two weeks ago was infected with the deadly strain of bird flu.Some information for this report was provided by AFP and AP.

When I see that TV ad for CDs late at night, The Best of the Eighties! I like to joke that the term is an oxymoron–wasn't all that much going on musically that did it for me, especially in the early part of the decade.
There were some songs I liked, even though a lot of them were pop and bubble gummy. Hall & Oates, Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love." Joan Jett, The Clash. I took my daughter to an INXS concert once and sat there wearing ear plugs, reading a book, she almost died of embarrassment, which was, of course, why I did it ...
These were the days when MTV actually did music videos, and I watched them now and again to see what the kids were into.
Some of these were way past pretentious, including the one above, even though I do like the vocal version of "Every Time You Go Away," by Paul Young.
And the haircut. Maybe I'll go retro and grow my hair that way. Kind of an electric mullet ...

The Metro Vancouver housing market will continue to see increased interest rates, financial pressure from mortgage stress tests and low inventory this coming year, according to a new report from Re/Max Canada.
Despite these factors, Re/Max Canada said the “move-over” buyer and influx of newcomers to the city is driving some demand within the region.
Transition buyers who are hoping to gain more space and upgrade their real estate are taking advantage of favourable conditions for this kind of move, said Tim Hill, a real estate adviser at Re/Max.
“The gaps between the townhome market and the detached market in many cities are really good. They're better now than they were in the peaks of the market,” he said. “Right now the move is less costly to the consumer, even with the higher interest rate, than it was in the peaks of the market.”
Anticipated changes and tightening of restrictions to mortgage stress tests have encouraged 21 per cent of Canadian home buyers to make a move sooner than originally planned this coming year, according to a Leger survey commissioned by Re/Max Canada as part of the report.
“People are now having to qualify at seven per cent, in some cases eight per cent for a stress test. And that really hurts affordability and brings down buying power too,” said Hill.
However, while Hill said that some variable rate mortgage holders are considering a move, he hasn’t personally seen buyers change course due to the stress test.
Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have concerns regarding the home-buying process. The highest-ranking concern, at 34 per cent, is inflation and the rising cost of living.
Lack of affordable housing options and the rising cost of rent are other notable concerns for homebuyers, both at 25 per cent.
“Our severe lack of supply in every town, community and city across the country, seeps into almost every facet of the lives of Canadians. Not only are their housing options being impacted, but a tighter housing market may compromise job prospects, among other things, placing even greater urgency on governments and housing industry experts to address Canada’s affordability crisis,” Elton Ash, executive vice-president at Re/Max Canada, said in a statement.
Though the majority of homebuyers in Canada are anxious about the housing market, 32 per cent remain optimistic that conditions are regaining balance in 2023.
In addition, one in five homebuyers and sellers support the building of Canada’s “missing middle” through the addition of new developments.
“The potential wide-spread impacts of our housing crisis can be mitigated, but challenges need to be tackled in a co-ordinated, strategic effort by all levels of government. I encourage visionary thinking and solutions that may include reforming municipal zoning laws to allow for a greater diversity of housing; expanding capacity for laneway developments; and using available land to drive housing supply in a manner that doesn’t compromise climate adaption and mitigation efforts,” Christopher Alexander, president of Re/Max Canada, said in a statement.
“For that to happen, some tough decisions need to be made.”

Hello! I’m curious if the LeiaPlayer and/or the LeiaTube apps are available to use on a PC or Mac on desktop without the need for a Lume Pad. I’m interested in testing the 2D-to-3D conversion feature in hopes of turning 4K 2D video into 4K 3D video. Will it create a SBS version and/or give me access to the depth map? I would ultimately want to find a workflow that allows me to show the results on a 3D projector at 4K+ (Passive 3D method).
It doesn’t appear so, no. You can export SBS for images from the tablet, but I just tried with a video and I did not see a way to export it to another format.

The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation on Monday issued guidelines to the Swachh Bharat Gramin Mission and all the states affirming that the transsexual community should be allowed to use the public toilets of the gender they wish to.
The attempt by the Ministry is a deliberate effort to recognise the community as equal citizens who can use one of the the basic facilities provided by the state, which is a place to attend nature's call.
According to the Ministry's circular, which entitles the transgender community to use the public toilets of their choice, many from the third gender group can even volunteer to Swachhta drive and to recruit transgender people to help promote sanitation around the country.
"Wherever suitable, their support can be enlisted in engaging communities, and their efforts duly recognised and honoured to break any stigma around them and also to enable them to use facilities without any embarrassment," the circular said.
While on the other hand, Donald Trump has revoked Obama's guidelines that directed public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms of their choice.
TRANSGENDER IN INDIA
- According to the 2011 census, there are 4,88,000 transgender people in India.
- In 2014, the Indian Supreme Court accorded "third gender" status to transgender people and an individual's right to determine the gender they identify with.
- The verdict included a directive for separate toilets for transgender individuals in public places including hospitals.
- Two years on, Mysore is the only city in India that boasts of a single "third-gender" public toilet.
The third gender's usage of public toilets is one great effort by the government to break the stigma which looms over when it comes to the transgenders of the Indian society.
The transgenders in India can breathe a sigh of relief after the government's latest decision which has helped the community with its fight to be recognised as equal citizens.
