Town extend teenager Lankester’s contract until 2022
PUBLISHED: 16:53 07 January 2019 | UPDATED: 17:11 07 January 2019
Jack Lankester has signed a new contract with Ipswich Town, keeping him with the Blues until at least the summer of 2022.
The teenager only signed his first professional contract in the summer before breaking into the first team under Paul Hurst in October.
He’s now made nine Ipswich appearances, scoring his first goal in the 3-2 home loss to Millwall on New Year’s Day.
By extending his deal to the summer of 2022, he is now Ipswich Town’s longest-contracted player. The Blues also hold an option to extend his deal by a further season.
“Obviously I am delighted to have signed a new contract,” Lankester told the club website.
“It was always my target to try and get involved with the first-team by the end of the season so it’s been a welcome surprise for the opportunities I’ve had to come around a lot quicker.
“I know I’ve got a long way to go yet though and have a lot to prove but I’ve got good people around me - my family and the players here - to help me.
“While I’m pleased personally with the progress I’ve made, the most important thing now is getting the results we need to start climbing the table. I just want to do the best for the team I can to help us achieve that.”
Lankester, who turns 19 later this month, has been with the club since the age of six.
He is the latest in a line of young players to have extended their deals in recent weeks, with both Harry Wright and Ben Morris signing new contracts until 2021.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HBO tapped unified marketing agency, Definition 6, for two major post production projects that included editorial, sound mixing and graphics for a retrospective of the network's hit show Entourage and an exclusive promotional campaign for Derek Jeter 3K, focusing on the Yankee captain's quest to join the 3,000 hit club. The Entourage retrospective is a thirty minute tell-all, which first aired on July 7, 2011, highlighting the last eight seasons of the hit series, including exclusive interviews with creators and behind the scenes footage. The highly stylized promotional campaign for Derek Jeter 3K features a look back at his career during the past ten years, and what it means to him to be a part of an elite club in baseball history.
HBO has a long standing relationship with Definition 6, which began with the launch of Entourage eight years ago. Definition 6 worked on the production and visual effects design of Entourage's well-known show opening title sequence, which has become as much of pop culture as the show itself. Definition 6 worked on a number of other promotional campaigns for the hit show, including recent editing work on the image campaign for the final season with HBO's Creative Director David Roofthooft. Since Definition 6 had worked so closely and grown with the Entourage brand since its inception, Mr. Roofthooft felt it was only fitting for Definition 6 to edit and mix the retrospective piece.
"There are a lot of 'look back' shows out there, and we wanted something different. We asked Definition 6 to come up with a game changer, and they delivered," says Noah Lerner, Senior Producer at HBO. "We had high expectations to begin with, and the team at Definition 6 once again found a way to exceed them."
"When we premiered this retrospective, the reactions from the cast and crew said it all, with a hearty and touching round of applause, it made us extremely proud to be a part of the show, and exemplified the extraordinary talent at Definition 6," says Ian Flaherty, also a Senior Producer at HBO.
In addition, Definition 6 also produced numerous Entourage promos that aired prior to the retrospective on-air dates. They can be seen on Definition 6's website.
"It is a real testament to our unified model – even in the post-production side of our business – to be able to bring together our editors, mixers, and designers for dynamic clients like HBO," says Rob Ortiz, Managing Partner at Definition 6. "Our relationship with HBO has evolved to encompass a variety of projects over the last several decades, consistently producing the highest quality of work. We look forward to continuing our journey together."
As for the Derek Jeter 3K campaign, the promo spots ran in early July which led up to the launch of the full show on July 28th. They can also be seen on the agency's website and on HBO Connect.

People are fascinated with death because it’s a great mystery. No one knows what or if anything comes after it. We just know it’s the end of life. A few months ago I was offered the chance to read Beautiful Lies, Painful Truths Volume 1 and loved it. So I was happy when I saw there was a Beautiful Lies, Painful Truths Volume 2 available, I jumped at the chance to read it. This book is once again edited by Karen T. Newman and includes some of the authors that were part of the first anthology. Here are a few of my favorite stories from the book:
The Unchosen by Trece Angulo is set in a fantasy world but looks at real world problems. It looks at loosing your faith and what choices you have to make when the things you believed in we’re a lie. In this world everyone worships a queen that is like a dragon. Before the queen dies it lays eggs and only certain young people are chosen to look after the eggs. In their society this is looked at as a huge honor and leads to some big responsibilities, though nothing is as it seems. I loved the ending of this story and would love to see more with these characters. The end felt like a beginning to an epic fantasy adventure.
The Burnings by Michael D. Burnside is a Science Fiction tale that looks at androids and religion. This may be set on another planet but it deals with problems we’ve had in our history. On this planet androids are used to do a lot of the work that is too dangerous for humans, but some androids have been programmed to be too much like humans. A group of religious fanatics have interpreted the bible to mean that androids should be destroyed because they’re in God’s image. What happens when the only one that can save the planet is an android and the religious zealots want to destroy it? This story brings up some great questions on the meaning of existence.
The Tally Bone by Lauren Marrero is about a woman whose husband has just died, leaving her in debt and having to live with all the lies that he told her. One day a strange man shows up at her door wanting the Tally bone back that her husband took from him. this man is not human and he has the power to help the woman or make her life even more miserable. What I really loved about this story is even when the woman sees that her marriage was not what she thought it was she still isn’t willing to part with certain things that bring back memories. I also love the line that the strange man uses on her to get what he wants. Love isn’t always perfect or beautiful. .
Another story in this book which is also about love is My Forever Love by Donna J. Munro. In this tale a man marries his true love but unknown to him the woman is from a cursed bloodline and becomes a ghoul on their wedding day. I loved how even when the woman looses her intellect she still won’t harm her husband and her husband is left with the decision to let his wife bite and infect him or follow her family’s wishes and wait for the cure. In this story true love may not be perfect but it’s still more important than anything else.
Beautiful Lies, Painful Truths Volume 2 is not quite as good as Volume 1 but there are enough good stories here to make this book a must read. You have to love an anthology that can give you well written stories no matter what the genre is and it looks at important issues in addition to death such as love, religion and redemption. Don’t let the idea that this anthology is about death keep you from reading it, there are some great stories here that will really make you think.

The first thing people notice about you is your face. The second is your shoes and then your socks. Socks (called hosiery in finer men’s stores) protect your feet from rubbing against your shoes, keep your feet warm, and provide another style element in your wardrobe.
Here are the three categories of men’s socks:
DRESS SOCKS. Rule of thumb: The dressier the situation, the darker the socks.
In addition to being a dark color, dress socks are usually made from a fine fabric such as silk, although wool and cotton socks in a thin fabric are also appropriate. Some socks may also contain a percentage of nylon for fit, durability and smooth appearance.
The appropriate length of dress socks is more commonly over-the-calf (the longest available).
CASUAL SOCKS. These socks can be worn in a wide range of situations — whether you’re wearing chinos, slacks or jeans.
The rule still applies that you should match your socks with your trousers, but with casual socks you can wear more color, pattern and texture.
Heavier weight socks are perfectly okay in casual circumstances. For length, you can wear a mid-calf — also known as crew socks. Just make sure your trousers fit properly so you don’t flash any leg skin when you sit down.
Pattern. Socks can be any pattern imaginable – plaids, checks, dots and stripes. The more pattern, the more casual.
ATHLETIC SOCKS. Athletic socks are about the weight of casual socks, but they usually have a cushioned-sole or some other feature specific to the sport for which they were designed. Usually they’re white or white with colored stripes at the top or with a logo. Athletic socks are mostly cotton, a natural fiber that absorbs moisture and allows your foot breathe.
Most athletic socks are crew or mid-calf length, however for certain sports like running, an anklet (the shortest) is available. In other situations — playing soccer, for instance — over-the-calf is de rigueur.
Shopping tip: When you buy a pair of socks get two or three more of the same style and color. If and when your socks disappear in the dryer, you’ll still have others to match.

Happy Memorial Day I hope your day off is treating you well, because the video game and new movie releases will not. In regards to new games coming out that will be worth your hard earned cash there aren’t many. If you already own Batman Arkham City you can pick up Harley Quinn’s Revenge DLC pack, and if you own a Vita you may want to check out Resistance Burning Skies. PC gamers can finally get their hands on Max Payne 3 this Friday, but outside of these minor releases there aren’t many games worth purchasing this week.
The home movie market is even worse. There isn’t a single new Blu-ray/DVD coming out this week that I can recommend adding to your home theater collection. If I were you I’d continue to play the games you already own, and watch the movies currently in your library, because there’s nothing really worth a buy this week outside of the new DLC for Batman Arkham City. As always you can pick up any of these recommendation by clicking on their Amazon images below.
Video Games to buy for the week of 5.28.12
Like I mentioned above if you really need to spend some money on a new gaming experience this week I’d go with the new DLC pack for Batman Arkham City.

The John Volken Academy, a Surrey addiction treatment centre, will soon host research that looks at using technology to treat mental illness.
Officials announced Thursday that a new position has been created to oversee studies funded by $1.25 million from the John Volken Academy, the City of Surrey and the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society.
An international search will begin immediately to find a scientist who is the right fit for the job, initially funded for five years.
This new position will officially be called the Simon Fraser University Chair in Technology Innovations for Youth Addiction Recovery and Mental Health.
Advances in neurological research have shown that the brain undergoes physiological changes — known as neuroplasticity — throughout life. Less understood is what happens to the brain’s wiring during and after addiction, says neuroscientist and SFU professor Ryan D’Arcy, who also co-chairs Surrey’s Innovation Boulevard, a project aimed at attracting top medical researchers to both the university and Surrey Memorial Hospital.
“The brain of an addict is different, but we don’t know enough about it,” says Volken.
“I always tell the students there’s no cure for addiction, but there is successful treatment.”
Volken said Thursday he wants to provide the best tools possible to his addictions counsellors and support his community.
“It helps us to get better at what we’re doing and we want to be good citizens. We believe in what (Innovation Boulevard) is doing,” he says.
While it’s not known exactly what direction the research will take, it could include brain imaging of students at the academy who commit to a two-year program of therapy, plus life skills and education to prepare them for a drug-free life.
“We know we have a successful model (at the academy) so what we need to do is bring in scientists to measure how it works on the brain,” explains D’Arcy. “It’s about taking all the amazing research from universities worldwide and saying, ‘let’s use this to guide better treatment for addictions and mental health.’”
The John Volken Academy is a residential program for 70 young adults between the ages of 19-34 that has a one-time intake fee of $5,000. The rest of the cost is covered by a foundation Volken created when he sold his United Furniture Warehouse chain about 10 years ago. He runs two other treatment centres in Washington and Arizona that can accept 30 and 25 students, respectively, with plans to expand both.
There is no waiting list in Surrey, he says.

Hockey has taken Kevin Moore all over the world, and Duluth is his latest stop.
The 31-year-old Moore, who was named Thursday as the St. Scholastica men’s hockey coach, is a former collegiate goaltender who spent the last two seasons as an assistant at Adrian (Mich.) College, one of the Saints’ Northern Collegiate Hockey Association rivals.
Before that, he spent time at a camp in Beijing, teaching Chinese players the art of goaltending.
“At different times, we needed translators and that was a challenge, but when I had to talk with the goalies we didn’t need a translator because goalie is its own language,” Moore said Thursday by phone from Adrian. “Hockey is a global game and it’s neat for me to be able to spread the sport that I love to different kids from different cultures.”
Now, he will be teaching players he was trying to help defeat a season ago. Moore replaces Tim Madsen, who stepped down in April to pursue other opportunities, to become the school’s 11th coach.
While impressed with the quality and hard-working nature of the Saints, he also knows there were deficiencies on a team that went 9-17-1 overall and 5-14-1 in the NCHA.
“Digging through video of last season, they were very inconsistent with their habits,” Moore said. “Little things like their stick position and overpursuing. I think I do a good job of communicating that and holding guys accountable.
“I pride myself on coaching players who do things the right way and who are consistent, but who also aren’t afraid to fail. Our guys are going to realize that I’m going to be very hard on them and push them out of their comfort zones so they can be the best version of themselves.”
Those characteristics are part of the reason Moore was chosen by the St. Scholastica search committee.
“We received (positive) feedback about his ability to relate to the student-athletes and also he understood that while the development piece on the ice is extremely important, the development piece off the ice is important as well,” Saints athletic director Franco Bari said by phone from New York. “That falls in line with our values at the College of St. Scholastica.”
Bari said he was impressed by Moore being a part of winning programs at Adrian and NCAA Division I Princeton, where he spent two years as director of hockey operations and coached goalies, and also by his cerebral and analytical approach to the game.
“One of the main things we were looking for was someone with a really strong character,” Bari said. “We were fortunate to have had a very qualified pool and all the candidates checked that box. The one thing that was impressive with Kevin was not just his involvement with other programs, but how he impacted those programs was absolutely remarkable.”
Princeton made a remarkable run through the Eastern College Athletic Conference playoffs in 2018, reaching the NCAA tournament as a No. 7 seed, while Adrian won the NCHA regular-season and postseason titles last winter before the COVID-19 pandemic ended their season at the onset of the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Now Moore hopes to have the same success in Duluth.
“First and foremost, it was the school itself and the community of Duluth,” Moore said of what attracted him to the position. “I think Duluth is the premier hockey city in Division III. I don’t think it gets any better than that.”
The native of Belle Mead, New Jersey, was a goaltender at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and graduated in 2012. He immediately entered into the coaching field, with stops as goalie coach at the University of New Hampshire and a New Hampshire junior team.
He also was part of USA Hockey National Player Development selection camps and served on the USA Hockey U-18 coaching staff at the 2019 Hlinka/Gretzky Cup.
“I got into coaching when I finished playing because I loved to mentor people and loved to help them make connections between life and hockey,” Moore said.
Moore’s first steps as coach will be dictated by the coronavirus pandemic. He plans to confront that head-on, like any other issue.
“You have to acknowledge it and recognize the adversity and problem solve it,” he said. “It’s my role to guide them positively and remind them that we’re all in this together.”
Bari said that while more negative scenarios are being planned out, currently there are no restrictions for the upcoming season.
“At this point, we are full steam ahead and are planning for a full season until otherwise noted,” Bari said.

SOFTWARE OUTFIT Microsoft has predicted that the Thai floods have affected its fourth quarter PC software sales.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft said at an investment conference on Tuesday that PC sales will be lower than analysts expected during the fourth quarter.
Analysts estimated that PC shipments fell about one per cent last quarter. However, Tami Reller, CFO of Microsoft's Windows unit, said sales figures will be lower. Microsoft's general manager of investor relations Bill Koefoed backed up her comments at a separate event.
Koefoed said at a JP Morgan Chase conference, "As the numbers come out, you'll likely see that number decline further as the impact has been felt faster than people had anticipated."
Reller told the audience at a Nomura Holdings event that there potentially could be more downward adjustments. Both conferences were held in Las Vegas, where CES is being held this week.
Software sales at Microsoft's Windows unit have missed estimates in three of the past four quarters. µ

- Why does o not exist?
- Is K+ an ion?
- Why does oxygen have a charge of 2?
- Is anion positive or negative?
Which molecule does not exist?
From the electronic configuration it is clear that there is no singly filled atomic orbital present in beryllium.
Without the half filled orbital,the overlapping is not possible ,therefore Be2 molecule does not exist.
As there are 4 electrons present in beryllium..
What does K+ mean?
K+ rating. The K+ rating is recommended for audiences ages 9 or older. Content that is rated K+ should only contain minor coarse language and violence and should be completely free of adult themes.
Can atomic oxygen breathe?
The oxygen that we breathe is called O2—that is, it is comprised of two atoms of oxygen. O3 is ozone, such as occurs in Earth’s upper atmosphere, and O (one atom), is atomic oxygen. Atomic oxygen doesn’t exist naturally for very long on the surface of Earth, as it is very reactive.
Is the cation first or anion?
Always name the cation before the anion; in the chemical formula, the cation will always appear first as well. When naming the cation within an ionic compound, we don’t include the word ion or the charge unless it is a polyvalent cation.
What is a anion example?
Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. For example, chloride ions Cl- , bromide Br- , iodide I-. … Anions are one of the two types of ions. The other type is called a Cation, having a positive charge.
Is Iodine a cation or anion?
Positive and Negative Ions: Cations and AnionsFamilyElementVIIAFluorineChlorineChloride anionBromineBromide anionIodineIodide anion9 more rows
Why does K+ move out of the cell?
Because you need -90mV to ‘hold in’ the potassium against it’s concentration gradient, at -70mV K+ will flow out of the cell. However, by definition, resting potential is the potential at which the net current will be zero. That means that, yes, other ions have to be involved.
Why is K+ more stable than k2+?
Atomic number of k = 19, … We see that, Pottasium(k) has 1 electron in it’s outermost shell, So k+ will have, 8 outermost electrons, According to Octet rule, K+ will be more stable !.
What type of ion is oxygen?
oxide ionOxygen, O. Oxygen is in Group 6. It has six electrons in its outer shell. It gains two electrons from one or two other atoms in reactions, forming an oxide ion, O 2-.
Is oxygen positive or negative?
The covalent bonds are therefore polar, and the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge (from the presence extra electron share), while the hydrogens are slightly positive (from the extra un-neutralized protons). Opposite charges attract one another.
Why does o not exist?
On Earth’s surface, it does not exist naturally for very long, but in outer space, the presence of plenty of ultraviolet radiation results in a low Earth orbit atmosphere in which 96% of the oxygen occurs in atomic form. … Each oxygen atom is actively seeking to get more electrons to complete its valence shell.
Is K+ an ion?
Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. Potassium (K+) is a positively charged electrolyte, cation, which is present throughout the body in both intracellular and extracellular fluids. … It is mainly replaced inside or outside the cells by another cation, sodium (Na+).
Why does oxygen have a charge of 2?
Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight). … Oxygen takes the electron density from other atoms when it forms two bonds, to become a negative two ion.
Is anion positive or negative?
An anion has more electrons than protons, consequently giving it a net negative charge. For an anion to form, one or more electrons must be gained, typically pulled away from other atoms with a weaker affinity for them.

June 19th, 2017
We received an email a few months ago; “The fiscal year begins (appropriately) on April Fool’s Day. Expect a fresh batch of contributors in a few weeks.”
In time, they arrived, a new series of communications from CSA’s employees.
Credibility is key in getting new sources. “Your diligence is very impressive, said one.” From another; “Your assessments of upper management are basically accurate.” Sources are comfortable contacting us because of that credibility, as one said; “most of your findings do not surprise me.”
“I’m an employee and a big fan. I don’t agree with all of your conclusions, but most of the facts are in line with my experience.”
And then the reason for their writing;
“You have stumbled onto a really big problem.”
The “big problem” for CSA isn’t public policy, it’s leadership deficiency.
The “CSA’s tactics are in some ways a measure of desperation,” said one employee. “Despite a number of self-described ‘cash cow’ services, they still struggle to fund their big bureaucracy.”
While CSA has a lot of ‘cash cow’ services, taking a third of a billion dollars from taxpayers last year, they’re also saddled with a burgeoning and bloated executive structure, these executives being mostly long term employees, nearly all underachievers. So, big salaries and big expenses; small minds and smaller output.
The CSA has been run for decades as a typical Government Agency. In Government, accountabilities are different than we’re used to. The standards for productivity, efficiency, and diligence are lower. Over time, and through inertia, the least capable rise to the most authority. The current iteration of CSA is organizationally underproductive, directionless and conflicted.
A US-based employee regaled us with some history;
“Each year, [CSA] balanced their budget by raising prices, motivating customers to seek alternative certifications such as [redact]. With each price increase, [the] volume of certifications dropped, making it that much more tempting to balance next year’s budget with yet another price increase. They were reaching the practical limit of this strategy when Ash Sahi was appointed CEO. His response was to lay off 10% of North American operations’ staff. Unfortunately, most of the worst employees survived. The overwhelming majority of the casualties were younger people who would have fixed the company if given half a chance. Within 3 months of starting his job, Ash had basically destroyed any chance of saving [CSA].”
The CSA’s structural problems exist because of their conflicted mandate. Are they a Crown Agency or a private company? Do they work in the public interest or commercial interest? The CSA doesn’t deal with this core conflict, they prefer to paper it over. As a result, we have a Government Agency trying to extract massive amounts of money through commercial undertakings, all branded to appear as profitless beneficence in the public interest.
Consider their certifications dilemma. In the real world, recovering a failing company burdened with lacklustre leadership and overpriced services would entail tightening service processes, a deliberate short term HR churn, and a sizeable downsize of superfluous expenditure (like overseas offices, travel costs -that sort of thing). All this would normally boost productivity, efficiency and, in upgrading their management, improvements would also be realized leadership capacities (areas of discernment, consistency in communication and delivery, etc.).
Yet none of this took place. An employee noted that CSA’s ridiculously lavish travel expenses are a pretty good gauge of their ongoing trouble;
“To a certain extent, I think upper management used perpetual travel as an escape mechanism to avoid administrative gridlock that prevented anyone from addressing painful problems in the core business. How do you address the problem of a company overrun with underachievers who accept low salaries because they are underachievers? One option is to get on a plane and fly to someplace enjoyable, and pretend to be doing something important. How long can you get away with that? Depends on who you are and who you know.”
That brings us back to CSA’s structural conflicts. You see, what CSA calls its Standards Division is actually a series of legislative committees. As such, this Division makes very little money, mostly in access payments and pay-to-play sales. As for its legal and legitimate revenues, Standards makes nearly no money at all. The Certifications Division makes money, some of it dodgy but less so than CSA’s legislative activities. Because Certifications makes money while Standards looses money, Certifications props up Standards most of the time.
Said one insider;
“The business model of CSA has some built-in conflicts of interest. The Standards division spends a lot of money, but it has very few ways to generate revenue. CSA’s sort-of government status makes the Standards division feel justified in spending at the expense of the Certification and testing division. The price of certification is marked up to cover the perpetual losses of the Standards group. This [RestoreCSA] website exists because Standards tried to monetize their work by publishing a book of what is basically public information.”
Indeed, they tried a shakedown of PS Knight Co, ordering us to hand over a mass of money on false pretence or, if we refused, they’d harm us. Well, we refused. We don’t pay protection money. And CSA’s been trying to harm us ever since.
Ironically, the attempt to solve their financial problem by squeezing PS Knight has needlessly cost them millions of dollars in legal fees and made their financial problems that much worse. Additionally, this site has exposed the fallacies of their image as professional, honest and reliable agents for product certification. By their own choices, the CSA has increased their costs in the face of declining revenues, and imperilled their reputation upon which their future revenues depend.
That’s not what competent leadership looks like.
Returning to recent sources;
“It is important to remember that until the certification business faced real competition, CSA was basically willing to spend as much money as they received in revenue. Nice buildings, nice office space, nice trips, nice benefits, lots of people. Because they could hire as many people as they needed, they opted for quantity over quality in their hiring decisions. This is typical of government operations, and CSA views itself as a quasi-government Agency. They simply never had the right people to make a big push for efficient operations (although it was not for lack of trying). Headquarters staff understood accounting, and it was easy to find accounting software consultants, so they spent big on accounting. Although every business needs a reliable accounting system, accounting is not CSA’s core product and it produces no revenue on its own.”
So why spend so much on accounting? Well, said one headquarters staffer; “Despite anti-bribery policies, the gravy train was carrying a long list of passengers.” Where have we heard that before?
She continued; “SAP and law firms (etc) invite VPs and hand-picked CSA employees to luxury boxes at various sporting events -Toronto Maple Leafs and Cleveland Cavaliers, etc.” It went on like this, and lushly. Said another; “CSA vendors are treated like royalty,” as though CSA needed them more than they needed the CSA contract. Why? Well, most such contracts are signed and maintained with a lot of schmoozing, a lot of drinks and box seats, golf clubs and pricey tickets. A lot of taxpayer dollars are going down in a beer buzz blur.
Some incredibly boozy choices have been made. “SAP was an amazingly bad choice for a business that did not manufacture anything. And yet they allowed SAP to make it nearly impossible to automate any of the actual work being done.” And again; “CSA shows unconditional love for their vendors, enduring high prices, poor support, and sub-par products.”
The bottom line is that senior leadership didn’t have the capacity to take serious turnaround decisions, and didn’t have the self esteem to turn down the feting and the flummery of the never-ending salesmen.
“Operational efficiency didn’t really matter until erosion of the certification business could no longer be ignored. After years of price increases to offset declining work volume, CSA was forced into poorly planned downsizing, described as ‘March Madness’ in the Glassdoor reviews” article.
“This was acceptable until even certification revenue was insufficient to offset these costs. [In my humble opinion], legal action vs. PS Knight is a money grab, made necessary by little fiefdoms whose existence would be hard to justify if mere citizens are allowed to read the laws that governments pay CSA to produce.”
Well folks, it’s been more than half a decade of lawyers and litigation already, and CSA’s paid massive money for their money grab, and thus far it’s failed. Even setting aside the ethical issues in play, it’s hard to argue that all this expense was a good idea, given the needlessness of it all. And this testifies of CSA’s leadership incapacity more than any article or litigation ever could, and more than their employees could attest to.


Maren Morris will represent the country genre at the 2020 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, which features a lineup of over 65 artists. Now in its 10th year, the festival will return to Randall’s Island Park from June 5-7.
One of country’s fastest-rising young artists, Maren has also proven her talents for genre blending and reaching a wide array of audiences. She scored a massive crossover hit in 2018 with “The Middle,” a collaboration with producer Zedd and electronic duo Grey that marked Maren’s first #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart.
The 2020 Governors Ball will offer Maren a chance to further stretch her legs outside of country music. She’ll perform alongside a number of megastars from all genres. Miley Cyrus, neo-psychedelic group Tame Impala and hip-hop legend Missy Elliot are just a few of the performers set to take the stage.
By this summer, Maren’s tour family will have gotten a little bigger: She and her husband, Ryan Hurd, are expecting their first child in late March.

Let’s hear it for the ladies! HBO’s freshman comedy series Veep, from In the Loop writer and director Armando Iannucci and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Girls, written, directed by and starring Lena Dunham, have only aired a handful of episodes between them, but EW reports each of the series has just been renewed for a second season. Both hit completely different comedic styles and tones, but they have each found their own audiences and seem to have quality writing, directing and performances among them.
There’s been a lot of buzz round Girls (both good and bad as the female sex tries to figure out whether they love or hate the depiction of their particular demographic) and Veep, while not as divisive, certainly brings the laughs (read my review of the series premiere right here). HBO now has a strong slate for their female audiences again for the first time since Sex and the City, so that’s something to be happy about. Maybe people will stop complaining about all the nudity on Game of Thrones now?

The Comic Strip Café has reopened with minor modifications to the exterior of the buildings in the Toon Lagoon area of Universal’s Island of Adventure. Our last update noted a “Pardon our dust” sign outside the restaurant. Now the cartoon planters have been renovated and new trees have been planted.
The ‘Pardon our dust’ sign remains, but a new coat of paint has been applied to the floor at the entrance and to the brick planters.
The tall palms have been replaced with what appear to be river birches. The floor has been repainted with blue and white zig-zags.
Closer to the entrance, more zig-zags of purple and red appear.
The white edges are wide enough to double as a seat.
The planters are not actually brick, but painted to look like 3D cartoon scenery.
The bricks are painted in a palette of orange, red and dusty purple.
The interior is still the same.
Since the re-opening of Comic Strip Café, we have had to stop in for more ramen.
Let us know what you think of the update in the comments below!

Bear McCreary News Jun 2, 2011 18:09:43 GMT -5
Post by Talon Karrde on Jun 2, 2011 18:09:43 GMT -5
BEAR MCCREARY ANNOUNCES SLATE OF SUMMER RELEASES AND APPEARANCES
(Los Angeles, CA – June 2, 2011) Composer Bear McCreary (The Walking Dead, The Cape, Battlestar Galactica) thinks globally with his summer vacation. McCreary has contributed a new track to the Play For Japan benefit album, is conducting two performances of his music at the 7th International Film Music Festival Ciudad de Úbeda, and will see several soundtracks released. In addition, twice a month McCreary is uploading videos of him playing piano arrangements of his music from Battlestar Galactica, to a newly launched Youtube channel.
Following the recent earthquake, tsunami and its aftermath, composer Akira Yamaoka reached out to the video game community and put together the Play for Japan album. The album, which will be released on June 6th, will benefit the Japanese Red Cross. Bear McCreary contributed the original track, Maverick Regeneration.
Said McCreary, “It's using a lot of the 8-bit sounds that I used in Dark Void Zero, and then I evolve them over the course of the track into the sound in contemporary gaming. In many ways the track is an homage to the 8-bit Nintendo era, but it also takes those sounds and brings them into the contemporary era of video game music.”
On July 21st, as part of the 7th International Film Music Festival Ciudad de Úbeda, Bear will be conducting two performances of his works, including an hour-long intimate chamber recital featuring world premiere arrangements of music from The Walking Dead, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Caprica, and Battlestar Galactica.
Two days later, on July 23rd, he will be conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra of Málaga boasting a world premiere concert suite of his Emmy™-nominated score for Human Target along with selections from The Cape and Dark Void. McCreary, who earned the festival’s Goldspirit Award for Best Television Score Human Target, will also be conducting a Film Scoring Workshop for festival attendees.
“This concert will be the first time I’ve ever performed the score from many of these projects,” said McCreary, “including the full-orchestral Human Target suite. Narrowing the scores down to my favorite selections is proving quite challenging!”
This summer will also see the release of several soundtracks for McCreary. First off SOCOM 4, which was released digitally in April and a special limited edition two-CD set released in May. Later this summer the soundtrack for THE CAPE will also be released.
Because SOCOM 4 is set in Asia, Bear had an expanded palate of instruments to choose from. “The vast array of instruments at my disposal left me with an embarrassment of riches as I first began composing.” McCreary described, “The gamelan orchestra was the most exciting to me personally, since I’d never written for it before. However, I also relied on the ethnic strings and woodwinds for my melodic writing. The arsenal of taiko drums alone could fill an action cue with energy.”
He continued, “But I also had a full symphonic orchestra at my disposal, which couldn’t be ignored. And simultaneously, the electric soloists and custom electronics gave me an entirely different musical toolbox to draw from.”
While SOCOM 4 gave McCreary a wide range of sounds to use, another of his endeavors involved stripping it all down. McCreary revisited Battlestar Galactica and recently released the Battlestar Galactica Piano Music Book for Hal Leonard Publishing. To celebrate its release, McCreary created a Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/bearmccreary) and twice a month throughout the summer will be uploading videos of him performing these works on the piano. He is inviting his fans to do the same, and will be giving out autographed memorabilia to creators of his favorite videos at the end of the summer.
“Thanks to vocal fan support, the piano music book of my Battlestar Galactica score is finally available,” said McCreary. “So many fans have filmed their own performances of my music, I wanted to do the same.”
Bear McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein and is a classically trained composer with degrees in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music. McCreary's unique combination of atypical instrumental background (he is a professional accordionist) with rigorous classical training prepared him to compose in disparate genres.
This versatility is evident in the body of work McCreary has created including this year’s surprise hit The Walking Dead, Human Target (for which McCreary earned his first Emmy nomination), The Cape, Eureka, the film the Touchstone Pictures film Step Up 3D, and the SOCOM 4 and Dark Void videogames.
At the age of 24, Bear McCreary was launched into pop culture with his score for Battlestar Galactica, "the most innovative music on TV today" (Variety). Io9.com declared Bear McCreary one of the Ten Best Science Fiction Composers of all time, the only composer under 50 on the list (he is in his early 30s), and the only one recognized for his work in television.

In general, the SOEs which were established soon after the liberalization had the opportunities to choose the land plots on advantageous positions for their head offices. The Vietnam Railway Corporation, for example, has the office located at No 136 Ham Nghi Street in district 1 of HCM City, while the Electricity of Vietnam’s head office is situated at No. 75 Dinh Tien Hoang, in front of the Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi.
Because of the historical conditions, the Southern Food Corporation in HCM City, which was in charge of distributing food to people in the subsidization period, has developed a network of 351 retail points located in every district of the city
It happens that while located on the “golden land areas” with high commercial values, the enterprises do not need to use all the areas and they do not fulfill the finance duties for the land allocated to them.
MOF has estimated that state owned economic groups and general corporations are holding 155 million square meters of land. Many of the enterprises do not use the land for themselves, but lease to private businessmen for profit. While the SOEs have unused land, other economic institutions do not have land to do their business.
A lot of SOEs have sold their houses and workshops to get money to restructure enterprises. The Southern Food Corporation has got the nod from the Ministry of Finance to restructure 233 out of the 351 retail premises. About 30 percent of the premises have been retained for business activities, 2 percent have been used for other purposes, 2 percent of land has been assigned to others, and the remaining has been taken back by the State which is now put under the control of the local authorities.
Nguyen Hong Nam, Deputy General Director of the Southern Food Corporation said that when the corporation was asked to relocate production workshops, the corporation has to choose new suitable places and sell the land in the inner city to get money for capital.
“We are seriously lacking capital,” Nam said.
The sum of money the food corporation got from selling houses and land use right transfer deals is really a big sum. According to MOF, the corporation got 727 billion dong which has been all used to build up the storage houses and production workshops.
Many other SOEs have followed the move. The Vietnam Tobacco Corporation has got 1.8 trillion dong from selling three workshop premises in the inner HCM City. The sum of money has been used to relocate the tobacco factory to industrial zone.
The Vietnam Textile and Garment Group has used 259.6 billion dong from land and house sales to move the workshops that cause environmental pollution to an industrial zone and develop the supermarket chain in southern provinces.
Also according to the Ministry of Finance, of the 155 million square meters held by SOEs, the restructuring has been carried out for 9 million square meters. However, the ministry’s report does not clearly show how the land has been used for what purposes and who has obtained the right to use the land.
The ministry has also reported that the total sum of money collected from the restructuring is 15 trillion dong. However, analysts believe that the figure proves to be too modest if compared with the vast land area of 9 million square meters I total. Source: TBKTSG

Some individuals only purchase as a couple of uniforms so they need to wash when they need to wear it. There are those who believe school uniforms shouldn’t be requested to wear in school. They can also raise student safety. Some claim that requiring school uniforms can boost graduation prices, although other studies reveal they do not have any impact on a kid’s educational experience. Uniforms are often quite distracting during paperhelp the day due to all the restrictions. School uniform could be pricey. Required school uniforms may lessen fighting among pupils and prevent outsiders from having the ability to put in the school undetected. Uniforms are seen almost any place on the planet and are worn for many unique reasons that could vary from going into a reunion to going to perform the job. Uniform also helps pupils who come from a bad family fit in because they’re not likely to be any need for all those parents to obtain costly clothes. Uniforms may also foster a feeling of equality between pupils.
Knowledge is among them.
There are a number of reasons why toddlers dull, and I really could go on. Uniforms restrict family in-fighting once it has to do with college clothing. In the end, uniforms are intended to stand up repeated washings, therefore it’s far more economical. First, they are boring due to their colours. "they show that you are part of a business. School uniforms aren’t connected to violence. They’ve got rid of distractions and have enabled students to focus on their work.
The Effects of Child-Molestation on People
Although wearing a school uniform is more affordable than buying a complete wardrobe of outfits, uniform might still be costly. Uniforms Has seemed to get a negative influence on the initial graders. Furthermore, they will enable all pupils to focus on their studies. Aside from the tradition, school uniforms offer students a feeling of identity. Students still don’t want to obey the dress code policy. They seem to feel more confident in how they look, and thus they have more confidence in themselves. Not only that, as they wear uniform the entire weekdays, they might have the ability to appreciate their weekend clothing more. Many students in the reduced grades may not delight in the uniform coverage, but they likewise do not actually care about doing it.
Traditional advanced schooling, nonetheless, might no further have the ability to disregard the revolution.
Pupils are already required to visit school. When students need to stick to a particular dress code, it is going to get much simpler to identify those who might not be permitted on campus. Whether they need or do not require homework is a question that has been discussed for ages. They’re always being watched if they are in college or not and they can easily be recognised because of their uniform, not that that is a problem but I do not think it’s fair that each of the focus is on the pupils rather than the actual role models of the school. They can wear a variety of creative objects, such as jewelry or buttons. They would also place a bit more effort into what they are learning if they are not worried about something as straightforward as clothes. Perhaps above all, a uniform means students do not need to fret about peer pressure once it regards their clothes.

As nations severed air links from southern Africa amid fears of another global surge of the coronavirus, scientists scrambled Sunday to gather data on the new omicron variant, its capabilities and — perhaps most important — how effectively the current vaccines will protect against it.
The early findings are a mixed picture. The variant may be more transmissible and better able to evade the body’s immune responses, both to vaccination and to natural infection, than prior versions of the virus, experts said.
The vaccines may well continue to ward off severe illness and death, although booster doses may be needed to protect most people. Still, the makers of the two most effective vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, are preparing to reformulate their shots if necessary.
Even as scientists began vigorous scrutiny of the new variant, countries around the world curtailed travel to and from nations in southern Africa, where omicron was first identified. Despite the restrictions, the virus has been found in a half-dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, as well as Australia, Israel and Hong Kong.
Already, omicron accounts for most of the 2,300 new daily cases in the province of Gauteng, South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced Sunday. Nationally, new infections have more than tripled in the past week, and test positivity has increased to 9% from 2%.
Scientists have reacted more quickly to omicron than to any other variant. In just 36 hours from the first signs of trouble in South Africa on Tuesday, researchers analyzed samples from 100 infected patients, collated the data and alerted the world, said Tulio de Oliveira, a geneticist at the Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine in Durban.
Within an hour of the first alarm, scientists in South Africa also rushed to test coronavirus vaccines against the new variant. Now, dozens of teams worldwide — including researchers at Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna — have joined the chase.
They won’t know the results for two weeks, at the earliest. But the mutations that omicron carries suggest that the vaccines most likely will be less effective, to some unknown degree, than they were against any previous variant.
South African doctors are seeing an increase in reinfections in people who already had a bout of COVID-19, suggesting that the variant can overcome natural immunity, said Dr. Richard Lessells, an infectious diseases physician at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

Isotropic Reconstruction of 3D Fluorescence Microscopy Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
- 7.8k Downloads
Fluorescence microscopy images usually show severe anisotropy in axial versus lateral resolution. This hampers downstream processing, i.e. the automatic extraction of quantitative biological data. While deconvolution methods and other techniques to address this problem exist, they are either time consuming to apply or limited in their ability to remove anisotropy. We propose a method to recover isotropic resolution from readily acquired anisotropic data. We achieve this using a convolutional neural network that is trained end-to-end from the same anisotropic body of data we later apply the network to. The network effectively learns to restore the full isotropic resolution by restoring the image under a trained, sample specific image prior. We apply our method to 3 synthetic and 3 real datasets and show that our results improve on results from deconvolution and state-of-the-art super-resolution techniques. Finally, we demonstrate that a standard 3D segmentation pipeline performs on the output of our network with comparable accuracy as on the full isotropic data.
