Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "sunny ways" have run into a few storm clouds among Canada's faith communities.
The dashing, handsome and always cheerful global champion of diversity and tolerance suddenly finds himself accused of the same intolerance and discrimination he has vowed to stamp out.
The controversy began just before Christmas when the Liberal government quietly issued its guidelines for applications to its Canada Summer Jobs Program. For years, thousands of non-profit organizations across the country — including many faith-based agencies — would rely on the grants from this program to subsidize the wages for some 70,000 students hired to do everything from counseling at camps to planting trees.
Not in 2018, however, thanks to changes in the application.
Now, organizations applying for grants must attest that "both the job and the organization's core mandate respect individual human rights in Canada, including the values underlying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as other rights.
"These include reproductive rights and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, color, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression."
An outcry ensued from leaders of churches, synagogues, temples and mosques from coast to coast. They were joined by media commentators who latched on to what they saw as Trudeau's desire to suppress opinions that don't align with the Liberal government's policies. Some have called for a boycott of the program.
Canada currently has no law regulating abortion, making it legal on demand. And while rights to protect homosexuals and transgendered individuals have been passed in recent years, they coexist uneasily with traditional rights for religious freedom long entrenched in the Charter.
"How in the name of democracy can it be proper to compel citizens to endorse a controversial element of one party's ideology in order to become eligible for a fair share of a public benefit?" argued a Jan. 22 editorial in The Catholic Register, Canada's national Catholic newsweekly.
And on Jan. 25, 87 leaders of different faith organizations called on the federal government to amend the application rules. Among the signatories to the statement were Bishop Lionel Gendron, president of the Canadian bishops' conference, and Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, Canada's largest diocese with almost 2 million Catholics.
The government said the new rules for the job program are designed to "prevent youth (as young as 15 years of age) from being exposed to employment within organizations that may promote positions that are contrary to the values enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and associated case law."
The faith groups counter that they fully accept the Charter, but object to being forced to endorse beliefs not enshrined in the Charter and which continue to divide Canadians.
According to the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, faith communities consider "abortion, sexual orientation, and gender identity as major questions with ethical, moral, social and personal bearing which determine our understanding of human dignity and thus appreciation for the meaning and significance of each and every human life."
The Canadian bishops argued that the new policy conflicts directly with the right to freedom of religion and conscience enshrined in the Charter.
"It seriously undermines the right to religious freedom since the Government of Canada is directly limiting the right of religious traditions to hold, teach and practice their principles and values in public," the bishops said in a January 11 statement.
The bishops argued that summer camps would be forced to close; some non-profits would reduce their services and some apprenticeships for young people would disappear.
Trudeau and his Liberal government have refused to budge on the new rules. Faith groups can apply, with conditions.
"We are not limiting freedom of expression or freedom of belief in any shape or form. We are simply saying organizations with the explicit purpose of limiting and eliminating Charter rights like women's rights do not qualify for government funding," Trudeau told the National Post daily newspaper.
So far, the faith groups aren't convinced.
"We will not be bullied into even the appearance of collusion on this issue," Bishop Ronald Fabbro wrote in a Feb. 6 letter to the 118 parishes in the Catholic Diocese of London in Ontario.
"While others may take an alternative path, we can make a powerful statement by saying 'no' to the conditions as set down by the government," the bishop said.

As the costs of scholarly and educational publications skyrocket, open educational resources (OER) are becoming an important way to provide content and enhance the teaching and learning experience. Librarians have a key role to play in developing, advocating, and managing OER. For many librarians, however, championing OERs means adding an additional responsibility to their already heavy workloads, which may be overwhelming. This article describes how a grassroots group of academic librarians in British Columbia, Canada joined together as a community of practice to learn and to share ideas, strategies, and tools to support the use of OER. The BCOER Librarians focus on the education and professional development of librarians to help facilitate the use and development of OERs and to create authoritative and sustainable resources to support librarians in OER-related interactions with faculty.

The positive effects of running
January 20th, 2020
Can exercise improve brain health and in what areas does it do so?
Regular aerobic exercise helps memory and thinking through both direct and indirect means. The benefits of exercise come directly from its ability to reduce insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the release of growth factors — chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, and even the abundance and survival of new brain cells.
Indirectly, exercise improves mood and sleep, and reduces stress and anxiety. Problems in these areas frequently cause or contribute to cognitive impairment. Many studies have suggested that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory (the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal cortex) have greater volume in people who exercise versus people who don’t.
How much exercise would I need to do every week to improve my memory?
Standard recommendations advise half an hour of moderate physical activity most days of the week, or 150 minutes a week. If that seems daunting, start with a few minutes a day, and increase the amount you exercise by five or 10 minutes every week until you reach your goal.
If you don’t want to walk, consider other moderate-intensity exercises, such as swimming, stair climbing, tennis, squash, or dancing. Don’t forget that household activities can count as well, such as intense floor mopping, raking leaves, or anything that gets your heart pumping so much that you break out in a light sweat.
Does the type of exercise matter?
Yes, the type of exercise needs to be aerobic…see above
Can exercise reverse brain aging as well as slow it down?
Exercise has the beneficial effect of slowing down or even counteracting age-related decline in mental and physical capacity.Physical exercise has an anti-aging effect on the hippocampus region of the brain – an area that controls memory, learning and balance. A study, comparing different forms of exercise – dancing and endurance training undertaken by elderly volunteers for eighteen months, highlighted that both can have an anti-aging effect on the brain, but only dancing corresponded to a noticeable difference in behaviour. This difference is attributed to the extra challenge of learning dancing routines.
Is there a certain age that these improvements stop working?
Several studies support the notion that physical activity is a significant moderator of age-related cognitive decline.
With increasing age, and specifically with advanced age (i.e. over 75 years), many individuals eventually develop one or more of a group of related medical problems referred to as geriatric syndromes. Perceptual limitations (vision and hearing problems), urinary incontinence, falls, delirium, and dementia are examples of geriatric syndromes.
These syndromes are characterized by having more than one cause and by involving several different body systems. With aging, the prevalence of frailty increases from 7% in older adults aged between 65 and 74 years to 18% between 75 and 84 years and 37% at age 85 years and older. Physical in-activity is a major risk factor for frailty. It is important to note that frailty is not a contraindication for physical activity. On the contrary, it may be one of the most compelling reasons to prescribe physical exercise.

Diabetic Eye Disease
If you have diabetes, you know that your body doesn't utilize glucose properly and it therefore builds up in the blood stream causing a number of serious problems. And, you've probably learned about the importance of eating the right amount of carbs, getting regular exercise, taking care of your skin and taking your medications regularly. But perhaps you are less familiar with the impact that diabetes can have on your eyes.
Surprisingly, diabetic eye disease can actually begin while a person is in the prediabetic phase - sometimes before even knowing that they have diabetes.
Diabetic eye disease is actually a group of eye problems that can affect people who have diabetes. Often it comes on without any warning and it can begin to cause vision loss right from the start. This is why it is so important to take steps to protect your eyes...whether you are diabetic, prediabetic or simply have a family history of diabetes.
Let's take a closer look at how diabetes affects the eyes. When the blood glucose level stays too high - like it does with poorly controlled diabetes, the eyes can be damaged. Sustained high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. This damage can begin during prediabetes, before a person is even diagnosed as being diabetic. Damaged blood vessels may leak fluid and start to expand into the middle part of the eye, leading to scarring and other damage. Four very serious eye diseases begin with blood vessel problems. Take note - some of these problems cannot be cured, but they can be controlled if they are identified early on. The four eye diseases that most commonly threaten your sight are:
· Diabetic retinopathy - severe damage to the vessels in the retina of the eye causing serious vision problems. The retina is the lining in the back of the eye and normally senses light and turns light into signals that your brain decodes so you can see the world around you. If the retina is damaged it can't transmit signals to the brain.
· Diabetic macular edema - follows damage to the retina. The macula is the part of the retina that you need for reading, driving, and seeing faces. If the macula swells, vision is lost, sometimes to the point of blindness. It's important to control this edema right away.
· Glaucoma - increased pressure within the eye that ultimately damages the optic nerve. This nerve connects the eye to the brain. It must be identified and treated immediately to prevent blindness. While glaucoma can occur in people who do not have diabetes, having diabetes doubles the chance of developing glaucoma.
· Cataracts - clouding of the lens in the eye. This lens is important because it focuses images on the retina. It tends to occur with normal aging. Many people over the age of 65 have cataract extractions every year. However, having diabetes can cause cataracts to develop at an earlier age because of the effect of high glucose levels. Cataracts can be easily removed and replaced with artificial lenses, restoring clear vision.
So, what is the "take away message"? It's a given that regular eye exams are important anytime vision seems less acute, blurry or dim. Often that first eye exam can occur when a school nurse sends home a note, or when a teenager goes for a driver's permit. But, for someone at risk for diabetes, waiting for problems before getting an eye exam can be too late. If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic or have a family history of diabetes, a full dilated eye exam is the best way to check for eye problems. See an eye care professional and take care of your eyes.

Imagine the following for a moment.
My entire household erupts in yelling and cheering as we celebrate a stunning victory for the home team. I’m sure you can imagine—drinks flew, cats ran for their lives and chaos reigned for a few moments as we all leaped to our feet and voiced our joyous disbelief.
Amidst the excitement, both here and pouring out of the baseball stadium in Milwaukee, the camera pans to a reporter on the field.
She tries and fails to interview a choked-up Prince Fielder in an incredibly touching moment.
Things are quieting down just a touch on the home front as Ryan Braun is next in line for a postgame interview. The noise subsides just in time for Nyjer Morgan to lean into the camera over Braun’s shoulder and drop the F-bomb on national television.
He says it once and heads snap towards the television as we all wonder if our minds had just played tricks on us.
Then he says it again, and then one more time for good measure. Ryan Braun is laughing, and the reporter is speechless.
I couldn’t believe my ears. None of us could.
Now, please don’t get me wrong. I’m not opposed to swearing in all of its glorious forms. I have been known to run my mouth, including at inappropriate times.
I’ll also put it out there that for a man who just sent his team to the next round of the MLB playoffs, Nyjer Morgan’s reaction wasn’t exactly inappropriate. Emotion was running exceptionally high in Milwaukee, and it’s no big secret that Morgan is not always the most politically correct guy on the team.
What was shocking was that TBS allowed the whole thing to happen without even making an attempt at censoring it. The last time I checked, that was still on the list of unacceptable television language.
But TBS dropped the ball. There was no beep, and the camera never cut away from the scene that was playing out. The television audience was treated to Morgan’s heartfelt, crude reaction in its entirety.
For those who found his language offensive or inappropriate, it may be easy to point the finger at Morgan for his antics.
Realistically, though, the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of whoever was directing the game in the studio at TBS.
After all, Nyjer Morgan was just being his strange, controversial self. We should all be used to expecting the unexpected from him by now—especially the broadcast personnel who inexplicably let this one slide.

PVC is used to make pipes, electric cables, floorings of buildings etc. From all these given polymers, Bakelite has the highest heat resistant and it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, is used to make switches and plugs.
What are switches and plugs made of plastic?
Why the switches and plugs are made of plastics? Plastics are poor conductor of electricity and resistant to heat, so they do not allow the electric current to pass through them making them safe to handle. So they are used to make electric switches and plugs.
Which material is used to make plugs and switches?
(b) Electric plugs/ switches/ plug boards are saucepan is made of thermosetting plastic because it is a bad conductor of electricity.
What are electrical switches made of?
Before the current plastic switches that we are familiar with today, switches were made of porcelain. Then later, Bakelite, which was an early form of brittle plastic, made from formaldehyde and phenol. More recently and increasingly popular, switches are made of thermosetting plastic.
What plastic is a plug made from?
Although both ABS and urea-formaldehyde are used for plugs, they are in fact used for slightly different applications. In addition, ABS is used for one piece moulded plugs which prevent access by the user whereas urea-formaldehyde is used for two piece plugs that can be fitted by users.
Why are electrical sockets made from plastic?
Plastic protects people from electricity.
Why are plugs covered in plastic?
What is the purpose of the plastic 13 Amp plug pin protector? Initially it is to protect the electrical appliance from damage in transit. Packed with a plastic cased appliance the plug pins could scratch or break an appliance in transit if allowed to come into close contact with it.
Which material is used for making plug?
The materials with the lowest values of resistivity are aluminium, brass, copper and gold. All these are commonly used as conductors in practice, although clearly gold is a bit too expensive for use in a plug!
Which metal is used for making plugs and switches?
Bakelite is used for making electrical switches and handles of cookware because it is a poor conductor of heat as well as electricity.
Which material is used for making plugs and switches Class 8?
Bakelite is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It is used for making electrical switches, electric plugs and plug boards, etc.
Which plastic is used to made electric switches?
Explanation: Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic which is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Hence, it is used to make electrical switches and handles of utensils.
Why are switches made of plastic and not metal?
Switches are made up of plastics or bakelite and non metals because plastics are bad conductor of electricity so they will protect us from shock and metals are good conductor of electricity so they will produce shock to our body..
Which polymer is used in electrical switch?
Bakelite polymer which is used for making electrical switches and combs.
How electrical plugs are made?
A plug consists of the case or cover, three pins, a fuse and a cable grip. The case of a plug is the plastic or rubber parts that surround it. Plastic or rubber materials are used because they are good electrical insulators. The pins inside the plug are made from brass because brass is a good conductor of electricity.

Asia's birds under extinction threat
More than 300 bird species in Asia - about 12 per cent of the region's feathered species - are under threat of extinction, with nearly half of their habitats left unprotected, warns a report released yesterday.
The report by conservation group Birdlife International also stressed that Asia's vast ornithological diversity would take a punishing hit in the next decade if governments did not move to formally protect the habitats of the threatened species.
It lists 100 species as critically endangered.
"If we do not take action we are going to lose 100 species or so in the next 10 years," Birdlife's Asia director Richard Grimmett said at a briefing to launch the report: Important Bird Areas in Asia.
Some 332 bird species in Asia are under threat of extinction, mainly from the destruction of forest habitat, Grimmett said at a forum of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) gathering in Bangkok.
Covering 28 countries from India to Japan, the report pinpointed 2,293 "important bird areas", many of global significance.
Forty-three per cent of the sites were not formally protected by governments, with another 14 per cent only partially protected, said Grimmett.
Indonesia was of particular concern, conservationists said, as it hosted 117 of the threatened species - the highest number of endangered birds of any country on earth - and has suffered massive deforestation.
Huge tracts of Indonesian forests have been clear-cut in recent years to make way for oil palm or pulp plantations and crops such as coffee or bananas.
Forest degradation was also cited as a key factor affecting bird species in the Philippines, while conversion of wetlands and grasslands, pollution, invasive species and to a lesser degree the exotic pet trade, had impacted on bird populations across the region.
BirdLife director Mike Rands said a major challenge for conservationists in coming years was broadening the legal and sustainable protection of these key habitats and getting governments, civil society, donors and the corporate sector to recognise the important bird areas.
"We must ensure that their unique value for wildlife is recognised by local and national authorities as part of the broader social and political process," Rands said.

There is no doubting the fact that stunning pictures have a way of making your goods come alive. Customers are smart and always want products that are of the highest quality. Photographing has a way of making these products look very attractive. They can influence your sales and revenue to a great extent.
With shadowing, your amateur photos have the chance of looking stunning. Also, it can enable the creation of shadow effects which otherwise, photography cannot do. The reason is because there will be lots of inclusions such as drop shadow, cast shadow, reflection shadow, floating shadow, and natural shadow.
When it comes to making images to appear natural, drop shadow service can prove very effective. It gives your photos that extra quality. It is a form of layer effect that once added, can make your photos look very natural. This is why it is usually referred to as “natural shadow”. Once your image background has been made light gray or white, it is possible for drop shadow to make such photo look more appealing. Through shadow creation services, your images/photos will send the right messages across to customers/clients. Images that shadow technique has been used on will always appear very eye-catching. Most photographers and ecommerce business owners use this service to stand out from the crowd at the moment.

ENGELHARDT: Eternal teen Sam Cole bringing roar back to riverfront
Sam Cole considers himself an eternal teenager.
“I just turned 16 for the fourth time,” he said.
Naturally, Cole played the Beatles’ song “When I’m 64” on his birthday. He hasn’t lost his youthful enthusiasm for boat racing, either. Formerly the H1 Unlimited chairman, Cole is in his second year leading Grand Prix World (GPW), which will serve as headliners for the initial Evansville HydroFest Friday through Sunday.
“I accomplished as much or more than I expected with H1,” Cole said. “But I think there comes a time for everybody to move on. I think they thought they could get more done without me.”
Not ready to retire, Cole received a call from Scott Pierce, who won Thunder on the Ohio in 1991 driving Miss Budweiser and currently owner of the GP-55 (Grand Prix) team that will compete at HydroFest. Cole met with the Grand Prix owners in Seattle and struck a deal.
“I took a long, hard look and kind of felt the timing was right,” Cole said.
MORE ON HYDROFEST
Ever the innovator, Cole changed the name from Grand Prix West to Grand Prix World, because he felt the old name was too regionalized (the Pacific Northwest). He hopes to help revitalize boat racing in Evansville with Grand Prix boats which are slightly smaller, slightly slower, much louder (using automotive power) and far more economical than their unlimited cousins. He hopes to create a two-race world championship event or series in Indiana.
“It will enable us to bring boats from down under and north of the border,” he said. “It could start on Madison and culminate in Evansville - maybe even an Ohio River championship, too. We would like to work with H1 at sites that benefit both organizations. ‘Thunder and Lightning’ works well together.”
He said the Grand Prix boats work best on smaller venues on shorter courses (1.25 miles) “where we can bring the boats close to the fans.”
For much of the H1 season, the unlimiteds are complemented by the GPWs. They have already raced together at Madison, Tri-Cities, Washington and Seattle and will join forces again in San Diego on Sept. 15-17.
Cole, who served as chairman of H1 from 2005 to 2014, survived the internal strife that has plagued unlimiteds for years. Listening to him on the phone, it sounded as if he has a new lease on life, heading an up and coming organization instead of H1, which has lost its luster since Chip Hanauer’s retirement and Bernie Little’s death.
With Grand Prix owners, he works with “guys with a common objective.”
Like father, like son
Cole grew up in Madison, but has lived in Sacramento, California, for years. His dad, Philip Samuel Cole Jr., was sports editor of the Madison Courier and instrumental in the current Madison Regatta’s inception in 1949.
Like Sam, boat racing roots run deep with his father and his brother. His father was executive secretary of the Unlimited Racing Commission (forerunner of H1) and brother, Dan Cole, is current president of the Madison Regatta. His dad got Samuel F. DuPont of Wilmington, Delaware to donate the original Miss Madison hydroplane to the city. They promptly wrecked it a year later.
Undaunted, his father got DuPont to donate a hull that later won the Gold Cup in 1971 (eventually spawning the movie “Madison,” released in 2005). His brother went to the grave of his father, asking for help to keep the struggling Madison Regatta going – but that’s another story.
Born Philip Samuel Cole III, Sam had the same third grade teacher as his father – Miss Anger.
“Only in Madison, Indiana was your teacher’s name Miss Anger and the shoe store was named Hertz,” Sam said with a laugh.
Miss Anger kept calling him “Phil” and he never answered. Considering him disrespectful, Miss Anger marched him to the principal’s office.
“I told them, ‘My name is not Phil. My name is Sam,” said Sam.
Returning to the Madison Regatta June 30-July 2, Cole heard the automotive-powered engines rumbling across the mighty Ohio – to the Kentucky shore and back to Indiana.
“We have kind of rebranded the series, ‘Roar on the Shore,’’’ Cole said. “It gave me goose bumps and brought back a lot of memories.”
Cole said Randy Lientz and Vernon Stevens put together a solid business plan for HydroFest.
“We want to make new friends and let people come out and see the boats,” Cole said. “The fans come first. I think that gets lost a lot of times in boat racing.”
Just ask the bickering H1 unlimited owners.

Anyway! I received an ice cream maker for my birthday a few weeks ago, and last night I finally got a chance to use it. I spent a great deal of time mulling over what sort of ice cream I could make that was low-carb and not just vanilla or chocolate flavored. I also didn't want to add anything that would bump up the carb count too high. So, enter cinnamon; it's got only .5 grams of carbs per teaspoon, but it's so often associated with sweets that it pretty much acts as not only a flavoring, but also a sweetener for desserts. I love cinnamon's role in this recipe. The slight warmth it provides is a welcome contrast to the chilly sweetness of the base.
One serving of this recipe comes out to around 5 grams of carbs.
Ingredients (serves 4 to 5)
- 2 c heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 7 tsp sweetener
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Add heavy cream and sweetener to a pan and heat on medium low until it comes to a slight simmer. While the cream is heating, add the egg yolks to a large bowl and whisk until scrambled.
- When the heavy cream starts to simmer, take the pan off the heat and whisk about half of the hot cream into the egg yolk. Pour the egg yolk-cream mixture back into the pan and back onto the heat.
- Continue to heat the cream for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Careful not to let the mixture boil.
- Transfer the cream to a container. Stir in the cinnamon and the vanilla extract. Let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes before placing it in the fridge for about 3 hours or until the mixture cools completely. For best results, let it stay in the fridge overnight
- Turn the ice cream maker on so that the blades are rotating. Pour the cooled ice cream batter into the ice cream maker and let the mixer go for about 25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency.
- Pour the ice cream into a container and let it firm up in the freezer for about thirty minutes before serving.

The human body is comprised of systems, which are composed of organs, which are composed of tissue, which are composed of cells. It follows that the body’s physiology is directly linked to cellular performance and health. One of the essential mechanisms that ensure cells function properly is the removal of waste proteins — and according to a new study, both exercise and fasting can boost this process.
Turbocharging waste removal
A research group at the Harvard Medical School led by Alfred Goldberg, professor of cell biology, is known for its groundbreaking work in protein-disposal systems. Previously, Goldberg’s lab showed that certain drugs can boost the levels of a molecule called cAMP, triggering a cascade of effects which lead to the removal of junk proteins. This occurs when ubiquitin molecules mark old, defective, and toxic proteins for destruction by the cell’s protein-disposal unit, known as the 26S proteasome. This process is called the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, or the ‘kiss of death’ as some scientists poetically refer to it.
Stimulating the destruction of defective or toxic proteins is important for certain individuals where this pathway is slow. Mutated proteins are particularly threatening since their buildup can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s. Over-stimulation can also be a problem as excessive protein removal can lead to muscle wasting in cancer patients or cause muscle atrophy.
In a new study, Goldberg and colleagues have found that the same cellular quality control can be regulated independent of drugs, through fluctuations in hormone levels triggered by exercise or fasting. Experiments were carried out with four human volunteers, in the case of exercise, and mice, in the case of fasting. The researchers found that exercise led to greater levels of cAMP, thus producing more molecular marks for protein degradation. Fasting for 12 hours produced similar effects on the protein-breakdown pathway, enhancing its activity in the muscle and liver cells of mice.
In another round of experiments, the researchers showed that an array of hormones, including glucagon (glucose stimulant), epinephrine (also known as adrenaline, which boosts muscle strength during stress), and vasopressin (the antidiuretic hormone that helps the body retain water), were involved in protein degradation.
“Our findings show that the body has a built-in mechanism for cranking up the molecular machinery responsible for waste-protein removal that is so critical for the cells’ ability to adapt to new conditions,” Goldberg said in a statement.
“This is truly a new way of looking at whether we can turn up the cellular vacuum cleaner,” Goldberg said. “We thought this would require the development of new types of molecules, but we hadn’t truly appreciated that our cells continually activate this process.”
The benefits of exercise and fasting are, by now, well documented. Even moderate amounts of daily physical activity protect the brain, heart, and other important organs, keeping the body young and the mind fresh. Meanwhile, fasting has been shown to improve cellular regeneration and increase lifespan. The new findings now suggest that exercise and fasting may reduce the risk of developing conditions associated with the accumulation of misfolded proteins. In the future, this newly identified pathway for protein degradation could be the object of novel therapies.
“The beauty and the surprise of it is that such new treatments may involve churning a natural endogenous pathway and harnessing the body’s pre-existing capacity to perform quality control,” Goldberg said.
The findings appeared in the journal PNAS.

Do you know that marriage is the beginning of the family and it’s a life long commitment. It also provides an opportunity to grow in selflessness as you serve your wife and children. Marriage is a bond like no other. It gives a life partner and a team-mate as you move through the challenges of life together. It is designed to reflect our creator’s unconditional love that will always be there and will never leave us or forsake us.
Marriage, also called Matrimony or Wedlock is a culturally recognized union between people called Spouses, that establishes right and obligations between them, as well as them and their children and between them and in-laws. It is a formal union, social and legal contract between the individual that unites their lives legally, economically and emotionally.
When a Man and Woman love another unconditionally, contentment and joy follow. The existence of your spouse is the soul of your universe. Without that one person, your whole existence would seem meaningless because the world would appear to be empty and lonely.
Like everything else, a marriage can drift with the circumstances, flotsam and jetsam on the sea of life. MARITAL BLISS ACTIVATION is concerned on providing and enlightening spouses on how to build their home. It gives solutions to the reasons for divorce, teaches spouses how to build incredible marriage, provides instruction to follow that would restore marriage and bliss into any troubled marriage. Remember, there is no bad marriage, we only have a troubled adult in a dis-empowered state troubling the peace of marriages.

More About “City and Colour”
City and Colour is the recording alias for Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who was also the guitarist and vocalist of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire from 2001 to 2012. He plays melodic acoustic and folk music and is often accompanied by a rotating number of Canadian indie rock musicians, such as Daniel Romano and Spencer Burton of Attack in Black. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour. His reasoning for the name was that he felt queasy “putting the album out under the name Dallas Green”. Green said that he had been writing material since he was around the age of 14. Regarding the songs released on his first album, Sometimes, Green said that he had been writing material for it as early as when he was 16 years old, and finished writing songs for it in 2005.
Green began releasing City and Colour songs on the Internet for fans to download. Eventually, he compiled and rewrote several of these songs to make his first album, Sometimes. The full length debut was released on November 1, 2005 to a good reception, described by one reviewer as “dynamically gentle and vulnerable”. The cover art was designed by Scott McEwan, in a tattoo-esque style; Green “still may decide to have some of them inked at a later point in time”.
Green indicated that his view that the “best music for [him] is sad music”, influenced the type of songs he created. He also said that he “love[s] music to sort of escape to” and the idea of sad music that people could identify with. Green said of the album that, “a lot of those songs are written on some of the experiences I’ve been through and stuff and that’s just how I deal with it. I just write songs when I’m bummed out and I feel happier.” Sometimes was re-released on Vagrant Records on January 13, 2009, which was the first time the album was available in physical form in the United States.
Bring Me Your Love (2008–2009)
Bring Me Your Love is Dallas’ second full-length album. It was released on February 12, 2008 and features a wide array of instruments not used on his previous recordings (such as harmonica, banjo, drums and lap steel) giving it a more folk-influenced sound. The album also features collaborations with other musicians, such as Canadian musician Gordon Downie of Tragically Hip on the track “Sleeping Sickness“, and additional instrumentals done by Matt Sullivan and the members of Attack in Black. The lead single, “Waiting…“, was released on Green’s official MySpace page for the first time featuring a “making of” video.
The album is named after a short story by Charles Bukowski. It is also a line sung in the closing track, “As Much As I Ever Could.” Green has stated in interviews that he has troubles writing a lot of his lyrics and he saw Charles Bukowski‘s book in a book store while on tour with Alexisonfire and adopted the title for his new album.
On September 26, 2008, City and Colour embarked on their first American tour, in support of Bring Me Your Love. On the tour, the band supported Tegan and Sara along with Girl in a Coma. This tour was followed by a headlining tour of the US in January 2009, with support from William Elliott Whitmore. In October 2008, Dine Alone Records announced a special 2-disc limited edition of Bring Me Your Love to be released on December 2, 2008. Only 6,000 copies are available; 5,000 in North America and 1,000 in Australia. In Canada, when the record label put up the album on pre-sale on November 20, 2008, so many fans tried to pre-order it that the store’s website crashed.
Little Hell (2010–2012)
In January 2010, City and Colour embarked on an additional US headlining tour, again supporting Bring Me Your Love, with supporting act Lissie, and an additional UK tour in June 2010, supporting P!nk, along with Butch Walker, along with a few headlining dates. On these tours, Dallas Green has performed two new songs by the titles of “Silver and Gold” and “Oh Sister”, as well as a couple of never-played-before covers – “Murderer“, originally by Low, and “Grinnin’ In Your Face”, originally by Son House. In an interview with Alter the Press, Green has revealed that he has written a bunch of new songs and he just needs to record them for his next record, hinting on a possible early 2011 release date for his third studio album. He said that there are 15 songs that he really likes and he expects around 10 to appear on his next album.
On September 2, 2010, it was announced on MTV News Canada that Dallas had been in the studio with Polaris Prize nominee Shad working on a remix of a Shad song as well as an original song to be released as a 12″ vinyl single. Dallas was quoted as saying “I’ve always wanted to be the Mary J. Blige to somebody’s Method Man“. The remix is to Shad’s song “Listen” from his latest album TSOL, and the new song that Dallas co-wrote is entitled “Live Forever”. On September 30, 2010, it was announced that Dallas Green planned to start recording his third studio album in January 2011, after demoing 14 songs. “There are a lot of musically unusual songs.” Green has said about the record, “There’s a lot more piano on these songs, keyboards and stuff. And there are a couple of songs almost I would say a bit rockin’, if that makes any sense, not in a heavy metal kind of way, but just a little bit more upbeat than what you’re used to hearing from me.”
On November 9, 2010, Dallas announced via Twitter that he would be releasing a new single on iTunes called “At the Bird’s Foot” which will be on a compilation album called Gasoline Rainbows, which also features new songs by such artists as Damien Rice and Amy Kuney. The song was written by Dallas in response to the oil spill in the Gulf. All proceeds from the album will go directly to Global Green USA. “At the Bird’s Foot” was first made available for 48-hour streaming on the Gasoline Rainbows Myspace page on November 23, 2010, and features Amanda Zelina of the band The Coppertone on vocals. In an interview with Reverb Magazine’s Sean Frazer, Green spilled news of an upcoming 2011 album release, saying “Hopefully I am going to start recording in January so I’m hoping that there will be another album by next Summer/Spring.”
On February 15, 2011 Green performed a specially recorded version of “Northern Wind” on the Valentine’s Day episode of One Tree Hill. On February 23, 2011, it was officially announced on the Dine Alone Records website that City and Colour’s third album will be titled Little Hell and is set for release in June 2011.On March 23, 2011, the official track listing was posted on City and Colour’s official website. Release date for the album was set to June 7, 2011. In an interview with Radar Radio’s Reegan McLaughlin, Green said ‘I look at people like Bob Dylan back in the day and he’d have pages of lyrics and would have to decide out of seven, eight of nine verses which three were the best. I think to myself, I have to struggle to get two verses I am happy with in a song’ Green also said ‘I think melodies come relatively easy to me because I’ve been singing so long but lyrics, it’s a battle to get to a point when I am happy with a song.’
On March 27, 2011, City and Colour performed Neil Young‘s “Old Man” as part of the four song tribute to Toronto during the Juno Awards of 2011. On April 5, 2011, “Fragile Bird”, the first single off Little Hell was released to the radio. The song had its world premiere on Australian radio station Triple J, where the band was touring a sold out tour at the time. The single became City and Colour’s highest charting single, reaching No. 1 on the Canadian rock/alternative chart.City and Colour has been announced to be performing as part of The Voodoo Experience 2011, which is held at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 28–30. On August 5, 2011, Alexisonfire announced their break-up. George Pettit wrote a message on the band’s official website saying Dallas had been planning to leave to focus on City and Colour, as balancing the two bands had become too difficult.
As of November 2012, Green is back in the studio recording the follow up to Little Hell.
On December 17, Biffy Clyro announced that City and Colour would be the main support on their massive 2013 arena tour, in support of their new album.
The Hurry and the Harm (2013)
City and Colour announced the release of the new album entitled The Hurry and the Harm to be released on June 4, 2013. The song “Of Space and Time” was released on March 11, 2013 prior to the announcement of the new album. The track listing includes 12 songs; the special iTunes deluxe version, available for pre-order in April, will include 3 extra tracks for a total of 15 new songs. The song “Thirst” was released on April 1, 2013 on City and Colour’s Soundcloud page. The album was unofficially leaked on May 22, 2013.
“I just wanted to make an honest record.”
So says Dallas Green, otherwise known as City and Colour. He’s not really talking about confessionals (though that might happen, too) but truthfully incarnated music: organic songwriting, natural process and sincere moments captured in the studio. Captured—not manipulated. For his fourth LP, The Hurry and The Harm, Green not only wanted to present an honest album, but an honest version of himself. To do so, he had to leave some things behind, confront others and let the rest simmer.
Green wasn’t quite prepared to make another album so soon. On tour to support his last album, Little Hell (2011), he couldn’t quite shake the feeling that something was unbalanced, uneasy. “I was being pulled in two different directions,” Green recalls. He was mentally near the end of the road with his former band, Alexisonfire, but couldn’t yet share the news with his fans. “I wanted to be in one place, but I didn’t want to let my friends down.” He started reading poetry— specifically the Kentucky-born author Wendell Berry, and his work “The Peace of Wild Things.” “I come into the peace of wild things, who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water,” it goes. Those lines made Green “excited about words again,” and comforted him in a time when things didn’t seem too peaceful. The songs came—quickly, even.
It’s no surprise, really. City and Colour’s music is exactly that: peace, in wild things. There’s a calm, dulcet tone to the songs, the melodies crafted to provide restlessness amidst a sonically complex journey that both soothes and rustles. The record’s first leaked track, “Of Space and Time,” showcases Green’s voice as it dangles in his own special kind of falsetto, set to a chugging drumbeat and subtle strum. “I’m roaming through the hills all alone,” he sings. “I’m trying to find my direction home.” Maybe he didn’t know it at the time, but home is City and Colour—it’s not simply a “solo” project from an otherwise accounted-for band member, but is Green, his primary entity, and his honesty.
The Hurry and The Harm is the first City and Colour album recorded outside of Canada—Green took his process this time to Nashville, Tennessee’s Blackbird Studios. “I’ve never gone anywhere else to make a record,” Green recalls. “I think it worked out, and it was a wonderful experience.” He recruited an excellent team of players to round out the songs, including Jack Lawrence on bass (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), Bo Koster on keys (My Morning Jacket), Spencer Cullum (Caitlin Rose) on pedal steel and both Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple) and James Gadson (Bill Withers, BB King) on drums. Green once again found great kinship in producer Alex Newport, who has worked with such varied and dynamic artists as At The Drive-In, Death Cab for Cutie, Bloc Party and The Mars Votla (and more notably with Green on Little Hell).
The resulting album is a journey through a state of mind, exploring everything from Green’s struggles to leave his previous band (“Of Space and Time”) to his distaste for gossip media (“Commentators”). Musically, the artful evolution can be felt in the crushing, sweeping rush of the first single, “Thirst,” with its aggressive vamp and both acid instrumentals and tongue: “after I’m gone / once I finally leave / you will be left alone to the wolves and the thieves.” There is a longing in the words but a certain direction in the songs, such as on “Two Coins” which balances a quiet folkiness with an unexpected guitar solo, searching through the play in his voice and the introspection of the ironically upbeat strums of “Harder Than Stone.” “Lyrically, now that I look back at the record as a whole, there are a lot of songs that deal with me searching for something,” he says. “And I know now that I wrote those songs near the end of Alexisonfire.”
“I don’t have a lot of faith in myself, so it is hard for me to have a lot of faith in something I have created,” Green says. “But I’ve never been happier or prouder about something that I have done.”
Green began recording as City and Colour in 2005, with Sometimes, followed by 2008’s Bring Me Your Love and 2011’s Little Hell and has experienced huge success both on the charts and the road. All three previous studio albums have achieved platinum status in Canada, while Little Hell is also now Gold in Australia. Additionally, Little Hell debuted at #1 on Canada’s Top 200 Chart, #28 in the U.S., #2 in Australia and top 40 in the U.K. Moreover, almost every show in 2011 and 2012 sold out (including the famed Royal Albert Hall, a two night stay at the Roundhouse in London and New York’s Terminal 5). In support of The Hurry and The Harm, City and Colour will once again embark on a wide-ranging set of dates across North American and the world. The tour will feature a brand new touring band including Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Dead Weather) on bass, Dante Schwebel (Hacienda, Dan Auerbach) on guitar, Doug MacGregor (Constantines) on drums and Matt Kelly on pedal steel guitar and keys.
Playing guitar since age eight and crafting songs since his teenage years, Green has always known he wanted to write music and sing: mostly for himself, to find peace and clarity amongst the chaos. He thinks it’s kismet that others happen to like to listen. “At the end of the day, when I write a song, it has to make me happy,” he says. “I have to want to sing it again. And then the hope after that is that somebody else will like it.”
And they do, because it’s the peace of wild things.

This is the Moose Lodge in Bradenton Beach on a recent weekend. I know nothing about Moose Lodges, but if there was ever one to join this is it. I understand the food is good and it’s right on the beach and has this terrace overlooking the water.
This is a random scene I took while walking the beach. This is similar to street photography because I’m just looking for interesting things to shoot; only the street was a beach. The other day I wrote about this type of photography and called it scene photography, which is simply walking around with an open mind and looking for scenes. It’s a cross discipline of street, urban and landscape photography.
I noticed these people standing on the terrace and it seemed like a “scene”, which is really just an interesting moment; so I composed a shot and froze it in time. Even though the beach is just below, I angled up at the clouds to give it a sense of loftiness. It’s a technique I’ve used in other photos as well.
Summer in Florida is the rainy season and there are often clouds in the sky; these are an example of that. Generally they enhance a photo by adding a sense of depth or drama. As long as you don’t mind getting a little wet now and then, clouds can be your best friends when taking summer photos in Florida.
It can also be a little dangerous on account of the lightning. Two things we have plenty of are lighting and alligators, they’re both fun to take pictures of and they can both bite if you don’t respect them. However on this occasion the only biting going on was of the food being served at the Moose Lodge.
Pictures from big cities like this are a mini examination of society. The scale shrinks individuals and we are left with dwellings, their architecture and proximity. That allows us to examine like an archeologist, learning about a society by studying its pathways and structures.
I took this from Vancouver Lookout which is one of the must see attractions. Even though it’s mainly for tourists it didn’t deter me from spending a couple of hours here taking shots in all directions. This one in particular I took with a wide 12mm lens. It causes the buildings to appear splayed in different directions. It may not be realistic but it creates a sense of movement to the scene.
Examining these scenes teaches us about the inhabitants at a collective level. At a personal level they teach us nothing. We cannot know someone’s heart by which floor they exit the elevator. However we start to understand a person by looking into his or her eyes, the windows of the soul. Maybe there is a parallel in cityscape scenes; the windows of buildings act as portals into the soul of a city. A million windows lead to a million individuals that combined are the essence of a place.
I am drawing a long bow, but it’s an idea, that what makes a scene like this interesting is our invisible connection to the people behind the windows. I’m sure there’s more to it, but it’s an idea I have and for now and I might just take that with a cup of coffee and call it a day.
I took this a couple of years ago at a kite festival on St Pete’s beach in Florida. This was part of an exhibition in synchronized flying. There were a couple more kites out of frame and they would all fly together in formation. The people flying these were pros that knew what they were doing. Who knew there was such a thing as professional kite fliers? Certainly not me, but you know what they say, follow your passion.
I’m not sure how they didn’t get the strings tangled or how they maintained their distance, but it was nothing short of precision; like the Blue Angels but a lot less risky. I’ve had a smaller version of one of these kites for years; it’s a lot of fun to fly but is anything but precise. I can appreciate how much practice must be involved. As it turns out some of these people came from other states to participate and compete.
I follow my passion for photography, as do these folks with their kites. Together there’s a symbiosis of sorts; each benefits the other. It reminds me of an event I was photographing a couple of weeks ago. There were professional athletes involved and several came up to thank me for being there to capture them. At first I was a surprised but later realized we both benefited. I fed off the energy of the athletes and some of them performed better for the camera. We elevated each other.
One of the unexpected pleasures of photography is coming in contact with people that are passionate about something. That cross-pollination creates an energy that’s greater than the sum of its parts. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as there is passion involved. When that happens the sky’s the limit to what you can do, even if it means simply flying a kite.
Every now and then I like going back to look at my images from New Zealand. I was there a little over three years ago but it now seems like an eternity. But having those images brings back some of that magic. I find myself using the word “magic” a lot when describing the southern island of New Zealand. There is something about it that evokes a sense of wonder. You should put it on your bucket list, especially if you like natural beauty.
This is one of the many helicopter landings I made on the last day. I spent the morning shooting images of the Southern Alps and then flew home that afternoon.
I’m standing next to the oddly named Lake Unknown, which is on the southern slopes of Poseidon Peak. The mist on the left is from a light rain shower on the far side of the lake. In these mountains there are microclimates that vary from blizzards to light rain to sunshine. As we approached from the north we could see a rainbow through the shower, it was surreal; that’s another word I use to describe New Zealand.
The last time I was in the mountains was on a cruise to Alaska. I think there are two types of people, mountain people and ocean people. In Alaska you can be both at the same time if you live by the coast. Even though I live by the ocean in Florida I think of myself as a mountain person. I enjoy both but I need to see the mountains once in a while to keep sane. While I was in New Zealand I got a large dosage of rugged mountains took thousands of photos. Now, if I go too long without seeing the mountains I can look at the photos and remember what it was like. And then I start to wonder if I might redo one item on my bucket list. That’s allowed isn’t it?
I am fortunate because I can drive to the beach in a few minutes. I’m double fortunate because I like photography. Those two reasons conspired to get me to the beach the other day where I simply walked up and down taking photos. This is one of my favorite due to the simplicity of the scene and the timing of the shot.
I was lining up to get the sun reflected in the puddle and noticed the skimmer out of the corner of my eye. I took three rapid shots with this being the best. To be honest, while I love this shot, it’s not all that hard to do. It simply boils down to being in position and noticing things. In fact, awesome things happen around us all the time however we’re usually too preoccupied to notice. When you put yourself in a receptive state of mind you see quite a lot. That’s the essence of this type of photography.
Anyway, it’s nice to walk the beach and look for scenes. Things are happening all the time and when I see them I do my best to capture them. The same applies for different genres such as street photography, urban exploration, architecture photography and travel photography. Maybe we can come up with a new type of photography that’s about capturing scenes around us. It will be called scene photography, …or not. I might need to put a little more thought in to that.
On a recent trip to San Francisco I got up early one morning and came here to the Palace of Fine Arts. As it was a Sunday I had the whole place to myself. That by itself is an experience to say nothing of the photographic possibilities. I imagined myself in an ancient Rome as though a ghost out of time.
In this image I placed the camera near the floor and aimed up with a Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D lens. It’s a special lens because it keeps the horizon flat without distortion, which is where the Zero-D comes from. Perhaps this is what the cat sees as he prowls the palace grounds each night.
As I look at this it reminds me that I’ll be heading back to Europe soon. I never know what I’ll see but I suppose that’s true wherever I go. When I go out to take pictures I have an expectation in my mind. That’s good for certain types of photography but on others it just gets in the way. When travelling the trick is to see what’s in front of me; I might miss something if I’m preoccupied with something in my head.
That’s not to say I don’t have a lot of ideas of images floating around. But it takes presence of mind to pick out details or compositions in a new place. Otherwise it’s better to work in a studio where we can shape an image to match our idea.
I normally take two or three lenses with me when touring. Like in this case I had the wide angle in the bag and so I pulled it out. I might experiment with taking just one lens on an excursion. Back in the day of film many cameras had a 35mm focal length. There’s a degree of liberation that comes with that because you stop thinking about the lens choice and just work with what you have.
If I had to choose just one lens I’d start with the 35mm; that’s a good field of view to work with. But I also like the 50mm and the 85mm. Just thinking about the choice makes me anxious. Isn’t that the craziest thing you ever heard?

Fertilizers. Insecticides. Fungicides. These are some of the many substances—collectively known as agrochemicals—farmers apply to crops to increase production and prevent losses. They’re necessary, if at times potentially overapplied, but there is increasing concern about where they eventually end up and what effect they’re having on groundwater and surface water, especially on potential drinking water sources.
The chemicals themselves and the by-products left as they break down in the environment have caused the shutdown of wells in several European countries. The situation has spurred calls for new regulation throughout the EU. But it’s hard to regulate what we don’t understand, and tracing the chemicals and determining how fast they move through soils and how quickly they might reach various water sources has been difficult and time-consuming.
A recent study by scientists at Aarhus University in Denmark has been able to accurately predict the chemicals’ movement, and to do so in a way that’s affordable and easy enough that it just might get widespread use.
Researchers used visible and near-infrared spectroscopy to look at the texture and structure of the soils, then used that information to predict the path of various dissolved chemicals. The same result can be achieved in the lab by measuring so-called breakthrough curves—that is, applying a dissolved chemical onto the soil’s surface and measuring how long it takes for the solution to reach the bottom of the sample—but that takes time and is expensive. The new method is fast, cheap, and nearly as accurate.
As this article on the process notes, soil properties such as texture and the amounts of organic matter, carbonates, and metal oxides it contains all influence how fast different solutes move through it, as do climate and the agricultural practices themselves. Soil can potentially filter or retain many substances, but depending on all these different factors, it can also create pathways that allow the chemicals to pass through rapidly to reach groundwater or nearby surface waters.
One of the researchers notes, “We found that we could measure the mass transport of dissolved chemicals quite accurately with vis-NIR spectroscopy. Our findings can pave the way for next-generation measurements and monitoring of dissolved chemical transport by spectroscopy.”

Vedic scriptures speak of fourteen worlds. Seven of the worlds exist of three higher planes: Bhuloka, the first world or earthly plane; Antarloka, the second world or the subtle, astral plane, and Brahmloka, the third world or the causal plane of God. These three planes can also be viewed as dimensions.
Bhuloka is the dense outermost dimension of being and consciousness. It is the physical world perceived by the senses. Antarloka is the intermediate dimension, the sphere of gods and higher beings, that exists in between the earthly plane and God’s plane. It is a subtle, astral dimension of consciousness. Brahmaloka belongs to Lord Brahma, the Creator. It is both the highest and the innermost dimension. It is pure spirit. Brahmaloka is also known as Karanaloka, the causal plane or as Sivaloka, the plane of Lord Siva the Destroyer who, through destruction, causes a new cycle of creation. To reach this plane is to become entirely absorbed or dissolved in the Divine Spirit and to merge into or become One with the eternal God. To enter Brahmaloka is to end the cycle of birth and death.
The seven lower worlds described in the Vedas are located in Naraka, the netherworld belonging to demons and souls that have become distanced from goodness and God. Naraka is the plane of lower consciousness. Its regions are temporary hells of the mind and the universe. They are places where souls way wander for many ages or for just moments. Ancient scriptures accepted the relativity of time and space. Thus, according to Vedic literature, the duration of any soul’s existence in any world depends upon whether the time experienced by a particular soul expands or contracts and upon the time scales that are in play when souls migrate from world to world.

WHen I try to rotate the MH to just keep drawing lines, the lines get all crazy. So I completed this mesh..then just shrinkwrapped it to the MH. How can I make an object, so that it has two sides, front and back, to complete the clothing?

Sad news arrives that Ken Nightingall, loving known as ‘Pink Shorts Boom Guy’ has passed away aged 92. The Association of Motion Picture Sound announced the news.
AMPS, the Association of Motion Picture Sound, is sad to announce the passing of legendary film industry boom operator, KEN NIGHTINGALL, known to a whole new generation of STAR WARS fans as “Pink Shorts Boom Guy” after working on the original STAR WARS, which went on to receive an Academy Award for Best Sound. Ken passed away at his home in the UK on 19th May at the age of 92.
Ken is a veteran of the international film industry and highlights in his long and distinguished career include ALFIE and FUNERAL IN BERLIN with Michael Caine, THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL with Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier and James Mason, and the James Bond films FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, OCTOPUSSY, A VIEW TO A KILL and THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.
Die-hard STAR WARS fans and participants in the cosplay phenomenon, elevated Ken to icon status, dubbing him “Pink Shorts Boom Guy”, after a behind-the-scenes still of Ken appeared online, featuring him on location working in the blistering heat of Tunisia during production of the original STAR WARS in 1977.
Academy Award-winning sound mixer, Chris Munro paid tribute to Ken:
“I first met Ken when I entered the industry over 50 years ago. He was immensely supportive of me as I carved my early career as a young sound mixer. ‘Legend’ is the word that springs to mind when I try to describe him. He will be sadly missed by our film community but his is a life and career that should be celebrated. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.”

There are no two ways about this, so let's just get this right out of the way: the Buffalo Sabres are the worst team to be assembled in the past decade and are tanking for Connor McDavid so brazenly that they're literally already having McDavid play home games in Buffalo's rink. They played and lost to the Edmonton Oilers last night, and the Canucks have been resting since Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. This is as close as guaranteed win night as there is in the NHL (except if you're the San Jose Sharks that is), and the Canucks should be plenty motivated to win one for Ryan Miller anyways.

As Australian enterprises prepare for an AI-powered future, chief IT and business decision makers are propelled to seek best use-cases on how to leverage this technological phenomenon – or risk being at a competitive disadvantage.
On Tuesday, 17th September 2024, an elite group of Australia’s most successful AI and automation ‘rock stars’ will unite to share critical insights on how these emerging technologies are being applied as core accelerants to their digital business initiatives.
This by-invitation, inaugural conference will gather 150+ senior tech and business executives from Australia’s top industries at the Voco Brisbane City Centre Hotel.
The MC of this special half-day event is Adam Spencer – math genius, sought-after media and innovation commentator. He will lead an outstanding conference program that features a ‘who’s who’ ensemble of world renown visionaries, technologists and leading C-level executives who are at the coalface of best practice AI and automation.
Australia’s best and brightest will unite to deliver short, sharp and highly insightful presentations on the trends and disruptions of AI and automation and other emerging technologies. They will also participate in robust Q&A panel discussions that will challenge the status quo, with talking points including – but not limited to – the following:
Events should engage audiences, inspire action and deliver measurable results. If you’ve settled for anything less, it’s time to raise your standards. This special conference stands apart for its journalistic approach to acquiring first-class speakers; the compilation of world-class best use cases; and the provision of multi-sensory delegate experiences during networking breaks. Our team of technology editors, journalists and conference producers bridge the divide – bringing innovation rock stars together with local tech AI legends and unsung heroes.
While conference audiences vary in their preferences for content engagement, they share one important common criteria – the delivery of world-class information of the highest quality that can deliver measurable benefits for the organisation. The discerning delegate is also seeking their own ‘customer experience’ beyond the norm, beyond compare. Following are some of the standout reasons for attending this event:

In the 2020s, the pendulum may be swinging back given the SolarWinds hack, and CISOs likely will be much more careful about selection of cloud vendors. This scrutiny will manifest itself in the form of enterprises requiring control of their own data encryption keys and demanding evidence from their software providers for stringent supply chain security using recognized certifications such as Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS).
Nonetheless, the phasing out of the traditional datacenter will continue to accelerate in the new decade. Gartner predicts that by 2025 workloads will be nearly evenly dispersed across edge, on-premises, and public cloud, underscoring what we view as the need for edge to cloud technologies that bridge disparate infrastructure.
Already we are seeing significant momentum in the enterprise with global file systems that enable IT to address the changing requirements for remote data storage and access in the post-Covid world. Enterprises will continue to invest in these and other hybrid cloud technologies that might have seemed unimaginable only 10 short years ago.

“Our gathering is just one small spark in the flame of pride that runs across the nation everyday,” Village of Cedarhurst trustee Ari Brown said. “It’s not a lot but its one small way to honor those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.”
On the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day, the village hosted an event to honor those who have served in combat, including eight members of American Legion Lawrence-Cedarhurst Post 339, in Village Hall on Nov. 11. Post 339 commander Syd Mandelbaum, who is Vietnam War veteran, led the ceremony. “We know how easy it is to forget about veterans,” he said. “But we must never forget the sacrifices they made.”
A blended effort from Post 339 and Cedarhurst-based poverty think tank Rock and Wrap It Up! created the Andrew Parise Veterans Toolkit app that was named after the former longtime Cedarhurst mayor. The app’s primary function is to help veterans and their families find veteran-friendly colleges, employers and places to live.
“If we don’t support our veterans, then we are to be shamed,” Mandelbaum said. “With that being said, I think that in the past four to five years, we’ve been on top of our game when it comes to helping our veterans.”
The event not only honored living veterans, but the village also recognized veterans that died. One of the main honorees was United States Army Korean War veteran Harry Beltrani, who died in July 2019 at the age of 88. Beltrani was a member of Post 339 and his son, Harry Beltrani Jr., spoke about his dad’s love for military veterans. “My father spent his life as a devoted veteran,” Beltrani Jr. said. “He had an open heart who supported his family and his fellow veterans. He was my biggest mentor.”
Post 339 Vice Commander Al Landi illustrated Beltrani’s generosity for veterans. “Harry hosted a disabled veterans night for over 20 years,” Landi said. “It gave those disabled vets a night that made them feel great.”
The two other deceased veterans honored were Betty and Robert Blakeman, the parents of Town of Hempstead Councilman Bruce Blakeman. Mandelbaum noted that Blakeman was supposed to attend the event, but was invited to meet with President Donald Trump at the Veterans Day Parade in Manhattan.
Veterans Day is observed on Nov. 11 and honors veterans who have served in the U.S. armed forces. It was once Armistice Day and marked the end of World War I. The day, date and exact time of 11:11 a.m. marked the end of World War I in 1919. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
“I’d like to thank our veterans for answering the call to duty that has made our armed forces the most respected in the world,” Brown added. “Let us never forget the soldiers who starved through the winter of Valley Forge, fought the Nazis, fought in the jungles of Vietnam and now the young men and women fighting in the Middle East.”
