Transformation Could Do ‘Axolotl Overkill’ Some Good
From its pretentious title alone, we already get this vibe that Axolotl Overkill is a film that unfortunately ends up spinning its wheels. The titular axolotl is in fact a Mexican salamander that reaches adulthood with the transformation during adolescence. In a sense, it’s a heavy-handed metaphor for not growing up.
Based on the 2010 novel Axolotl Roadkill, the film follows sixteen-year old Mifti (Jasna Fritzi Bauer), who doesn’t exactly come from the best of circumstances. Her mother recently passed away. Her father’s already moved onto another romantic interest. Even her siblings appear detached, spoiled and entitled. That being said, there’s no real solid foundation to her adolescent years. At school, her rebellion and blatant disrespect continues as one day she even picks a fight landing herself in the principal’s office.
Axolotl Overkill is the type of film that has it’s protagonist (we’re using that term very, very lightly) get away with practically murder without the consequences. Perhaps inside Mifti’s mind, every act has its internal consequence. But for the audience, there’s hardly a growth in character or willingness to want her to go beyond this bratty behavior.
Every sequence is simply a testament to her hedonistic lifestyle, albeit leaving herself a detached shell of a young woman. Consumed by sex, drugs and obsession, that’s all that matters in the life of Mifti. There’s no real quest to find oneself, rather get lost in a sea of youthful pleasure. She’s so detached that during a sex scene, she wished she was being raped for real. Her outlets aren’t much better. She befriends a TV actress named Ophelia (Mavie Horbinger), who’s riddled with a personality disorder, violent behavior and a cocaine addiction. She also falls in love with a much older criminal (Arly Jover), who’s not exactly the best of influences either.
First-time director, Helene Hegemann tackled her own source material in Axolotl Overkill. And while it may have been a provocative yarn of self-destruction on paper, the translation to film emerges as rocky. Many times throughout, we have to question whether or not the goal here is dishing out more abstraction or saddling for more moments of shock value. We get a sense of what Hegemann is trying for here, but we quickly find ourselves maneuvering within a melancholic narrative.
Despite a less-than-stellar narrative, lead Jasna Fritzi Bauer is pretty solid as Mitzi. She has to put on the facade that she’s ten years younger and the payoff is seamless. In real life, she’s a 27-year-old portraying a teenager. It’s a realistic approach to an teenager in the midst of a downward spiral. However, some of the character’s actions just leave the audience highly uncomfortable before the credits start rolling.
Evolution cinematographer, Manuel Dacosse at least makes the Axolotl Overkill look visually rewarding. From the streets of Berlin to blinding nightclubs to Mitzi’s abode, it feels naturally captured, even claustrophobic on occasion.
Axolotl Overkill has plenty of potential in exploring an unlikable young woman’s downward spiral and unwillingness to blossom into a woman, who could turn her life around. With some fine tuning, some of its teases might actually become fulfillments.

Combine a great location in coastal Southern Maine, charming cottages, affordable prices, extensive resort amenities, and a unique adult focus, and the result is a recipe for success. Seaglass Village, a seasonal cottage resort in the Moody Village section of Wells, Maine, has enjoyed strong sales since the community opened in Spring 2009.
"Seaglass put our dream of owning in the Ogunquit area within reach," commented one recent buyer.
The developers of Seaglass coined the term "adult focused" to express the community's unique approach to an adult-oriented vacation lifestyle. "Seaglass offers fun for adults of all ages, and we welcome visiting children or grandchildren. However, visitors and residents must be over 18 to use most of the amenities," explains Jonathan Hall, a member of the development team.
The adults-only clubhouse is the heart of the village. When it is completed this spring, it will feature a great room, Tiki Bar with indoor and outdoor access, full kitchen, library, gathering area with a fireplace, and attached fitness center with an indoor resistance pool and locker rooms. The recreation area around the clubhouse will include Maine's first walking-resistance pool, a large outdoor pool, Jacuzzi, tennis courts, bocce and shuffleboard courts, fireplace sitting area, putting green, and a 3,200-square-foot entertainment pavilion. Visiting grandchildren or young friends may enjoy the family pool and tennis court located within the resort.
A recreation concierge will make dining and entertainment reservations for cottage owners and plan a full menu of trips and events to supplement the daily recreation options available on site. Cottage owners who prefer to do a little exploring on their own will delight in the beautiful beaches, nature preserves, and quaint villages around Seaglass Village. Some of Maine's most popular coastal towns, including Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, and York, are just minutes away.
At the end of a fun-filled day, owners can relax in their charming, two-bedroom seasonal cottages. Five cottage styles are available at prices starting as low as $160,000. For more information, visit www.SeaglassVillage.com or call 866-786-8554.

Bongos, two drums at once
How would I notate a bongo rhythm where the high drum is eighth notes, and the low drum is quarter notes, in other words, both drums at once on every other beat? I can put the eighth notes in, but trying to add the quarter notes, they go in as eighth notes. Also, every now and then, the quarter note is a rest instead of a beat. How would that be done?
Ok, how about a big fat never mind? I didn't realize how editable the line was. Thanks, though. I'd delete this thread if possible.

Another Brick in the Wall…
Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining a following as a psychedelic pop group, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. They are one of the most commercially successful and influential bands in popular music history.
Pink Floyd were founded by students Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett’s leadership, they released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979), and The Final Cut (1983). The band also composed several film scores.

Meet George. Not his real name, but the one he answers to here at Unbridled. Otherwise, you’ll find him online as George V.K. He’s part of the Unbridled Media team, known collectively for their hip, all-American good looks and brilliant video productions. It’s not until you ask what the “K” stands for that you begin to know who he really is.
“Ko-tel-ni-kov” rolls off his tongue like he stepped straight out of Dr. Zhivago, revealing something so obvious I wonder how in the world I missed even the slightest hint of an accent. I repeat the name back to him, thinking it will be easy after clarifying whether kov has more of a hard f or soft v sound. It turns out to be neither, and I’m not even close. As he pronounces it again for me, I notice that all the consonants sound soft and smashed together, making it clear that his name will never roll off my tongue the way it rolls off his.
Russian. Creative. Positive. Experiential. Present.
Russian is his native tongue, originating from a place both far away and deep within. So much a part of who George Kotelnikov is, in fact, that when we sat down to talk about what it means to “know and be known,” I was completely drawn into that place with him. Deep in the familiarity of a kindred heart. Lost in the foreignness of his beloved homeland. Mesmerized by the lovely language that captures its essence…and his.
What did you want to be when you were a kid, and what do you still dream of doing and being today?
As a kid, I loved architecture. Later, I realized it was design more than building that I loved, so I moved toward graphic design and Web design. I started freelancing around 13 after moving to the U.S. Today, my passion is film narrative and cinematography. My dream is to be director of photography for independent films that impact the world.
Share a life lesson you’ll never forget that will benefit all of us.
My grandpa had a saying I heard repeatedly growing up: “I am here and now.” It was his life philosophy. The idea of being in the moment, fully present and positive. I especially love the phrase in Russian. I have it on my website, and plan to tattoo it on my arm in honor of his influence in my life. He modeled the life I aspire to live, and I can only hope to offer my own children and grandchildren even a fraction of the inspiration and legacy he left me.
Being Russian is a huge part of who I am, and staying connected with my family there is a high priority for me. I remember the “culture shock” when I first arrived here. A spectacle of sights and sounds. The movie version of “the land of opportunity.” I still believe it is, and even though my view of it is more realistic now, I’m very grateful for all the benefits of living in America and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. At the same time, I never want to lose my native tongue or certain Russian customs. Like shaking hands. In Russia, it’s considered rude not to shake hands with all the men in the room. Not as a formality, but more as a gesture of respect and regard. I miss that. Another custom I’d like to hold onto is meeting friends and family inside the airport when they come to visit…with flowers in hand.
What keeps you awake at night (real or imagined fears and anxieties), and who do you tell?
Anticipation of new experiences causes some anxiety for me. Also finances and providing for my family. I tend to internalize things, and don’t naturally ask for advice or help. Have always felt like I had to figure things out for myself. I was taught as a child to keep things to myself. When my mother decided to leave Kazakhstan, I wasn’t allowed to tell my friends, or even say good-bye. I got pretty good at masking my feelings. I’m learning to change that, though…thanks to my girlfriend. She helps me be more observant and less reactive. I had a heart-to-heart with Mike recently, and that was a brand new experience for me. It felt really good to have such open and honest conversation with my boss.
Name one thing we might be surprised to know about you (a secret talent, out-of-the-ordinary experience).
Other than being a Russian immigrant and hip-hop dancer…I guess it would be that I don’t like guacamole. Or avocados. It’s a texture thing. My American friends find it hard to grasp. For those who don’t already know, I emigrated to the U.S. when I was 11…from Almaty, Kazakhstan, where I was a competitive ballroom dancer (two 1st-place medals and a 3rd). Ballroom is still my first love, but these days you’re more likely to find me pop ‘n locking instead.
How do you show the people in your life that you value them?
Through a mutual respect and love for the individuality of each person. There’s something very honoring to me about the creative contributions people make to a collaborative project.
What have you done that you’re most proud of and hope to be remembered for as your legacy?
Making 3 feature-length films since completing my degree in Theater, Film, and TV from CU-Denver. I want to leave a legacy through the art of meaningful film narrative.
When was the last time you reconsidered the possibility that a forgotten dream could still come true?
When Unbridled Media called to offer me this job. It wasn’t forgotten exactly, just pushed aside…and I knew I couldn’t let it slip away. Transitioning from freelance to full-time here reawakened the dream and has opened doors to brand new possibilities.
In your 6 months at Unbridled, what has been one of your most defining moments?
The LPL shoot. It was my first big Unbridled project. Everything about it was defining…collaborating with Joe and others so much older and experienced, wowing the client during the preview of the reel, and the response from the live audience during the event. It was everything that describes my happiest moments in life.
When are you happiest in your life, and why?
When things come together in a perfect, collaborative force. Like on a film set when thoughts and feelings converge. That moment when people, factors, and circumstances click in a way that brings a super-awareness of the harmony and perfection of it all.

Flags leave Rams with little to salute
By Jim Thomas
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
Three weeks after Veterans Day, the Rams took part in Flag Day this past Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. But it was no celebration.
The Rams' season-high 126 yards in penalties against Arizona may have been an extreme. But unfortunately for coach Scott Linehan, it was merely the latest example of what's becoming a seasonlong trend.
Despite his efforts to minimize penalties, particularly of the pre-snap and post-whistle variety, Linehan's Rams are among the most penalized teams in the NFL this season.
Only Dallas (809) has been assessed more penalty yards than the Rams (721). And only Minnesota (93), Arizona (88) and Detroit (86) have been assessed more penalties than St. Louis (85).
Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that the Rams lead the league in false-start penalties this season (31). According to the STATS statistical firm, right tackle Alex Barron leads the NFL in false-start penalties (nine). Also according to STATS, center Richie Incognito is in a three-way tie for most holding penalties assessed (four).
Over the course of the season, dating to training camp, the Rams have run laps after practice because of pre-snap penalties such as false starts. When a "penalty" occurs in practice, the Rams repeat the play, according to Linehan.
"There's got to be some kind of consequence," Linehan said. "I think the emphasis has to be on holding that person, or persons, or group accountable to those things."
But there's only so much that can be done in the middle of a season. By league rule, players cannot be fined for such things as too many penalties. Bench Barron, you say? And replace him with ... who?
"You've got to overcome penalties," Incognito said following Sunday's 34-20 loss to Arizona. "They're going to happen. But when you've got that many, at critical times, it's tough."
There was a time when the Rams' offense was good enough to overcome penalties, sacks, and almost whatever obstacles were thrown at them. The 1999 Super Bowl championship team, for example, was penalized 113 times — the 10th-highest total in franchise history.
The '06 Rams are on pace for exactly that many penalties this season — 113. But the team isn't good enough offensively, defensively, or on special teams to consistently overcome that many flags. Which is why Linehan has stressed smart football since the start of his tenure: limiting errors, penalties and turnovers.
Even on the heels of Marc Bulger's three interceptions against Arizona, the Rams have done a good job limiting turnovers. Only six teams have fewer giveaways than the Rams' 16. But penalties are another matter.
"You would think it shouldn't happen," running back Steven Jackson said. "And it's continued to bite us. So we've just got to eliminate it."
Penalties were a huge factor in the Arizona loss. The final figures actually showed the Big Red with more penalties (11 to 10) than the Rams. And Arizona also had more than 100 yards in penalties — 107 to be exact. But those figures were misleading.
When Arizona scored with 2 minutes 10 seconds to go in the third quarter to take a 24-10 lead, the Cardinals had been penalized only five times for 40 yards, compared to the Rams' eight times for 116 yards at that point. With the contest pretty much decided, the Cardinals were penalized six times for 67 yards in the final 16 minutes.
The fact that there were many penalties Sunday shouldn't be a big surprise considering the officiating crew. According to research done by the Tacoma News Tribune, referee Ron Winter's crew — which worked the game — is tied for the most penalties called in the NFL. Winter's crew averages 14.3 penalties a game, the same average as referee Gene Steratore's crew this season.
As was the case against Arizona, the Rams were flagged for 10 penalties (for 78 yards) Oct. 8 in Green Bay — matching their season-high penalty total — with Winter's crew also working that contest.
No matter which crew works a Rams game, Linehan said penalty totals like those in the Arizona game are unacceptable from his team.
"It not something we can have and expect to win," Linehan said. "They're hard to overcome. Penalties are part of the game. But penalties that happen before the ball is snapped are unacceptable. Penalties that happen after the ball's whistled dead are unacceptable."
False starts obviously fall into the pre-snap area. So does the offside penalty by defensive end Leonard Little that wiped out a Ron Bartell interception. Some unnecessary roughness calls, such as Incognito's in the third quarter against Arizona, fall into the post-whistle category.
RAMBLINGS: Defensive lineman Michael Brown has been added to the Rams' practice squad. He replaces Tim Sandidge, who was signed to Kansas City's active roster.
Re: Flags leave Rams with little to salute
anyone notice how players like Incognito and Chavous who have given away penalities say that the Rams should be able to overcome them, not that they shouldnt happen in the first place.
they need to know its not ok to commit a penalty, because at the moment they dont seem to care, thinking that the team can overcome it. which they obviously cant.
Re: Flags leave Rams with little to salute
I wonder if our players are made aware of this type of info prior to the game?

Stopped at the beach for shells. Very clean path and the fort was great
A little bumpy (roots under pavement) and hilly but a nice way to reach Coast Guard Beach by bike, especially if coming from the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Nice boardwalk by Nauset Bay.
I went down to the Cape from Boston. Apple Maps put me in South Dennis to start. I was able to find a spot right away, although the lot was close to full. I quickly came across the first intersection of many where the path crosses the road cars drive on. That happens about 10-15 times in the first twelve miles. The path itself is pretty well maintained. I stopped at mile 12 to go to the beach, mainly because I couldn’t find the trail and the beach was close by. And the beach has bike lockers. After a quick dip, I turned around and came back. Lastly, I averaged 15mph on my bike and no one passed me. That’s just to say it’s more casual.
It was a beautiful, easy ride from the bay to the point, and a hardcore workout on the way back! You see, it was fine weather with the wind to our back from the bay, but as soon as we hit the point, it started raining and we were heading into the wind in the way back, so it was. It an easy ride, but sure was a great workout!! Definitely check the weather when you are headed there- it was sunny and warm at home, but 63 and foggy when we arrived...tho no prediction of rain . We’re definitely going back again.
Always a pleasant ride. Flat, paved, scenic a really pleasant ride. Plenty of places to stop and take in the sights.
This one does not disappoint! Comfy ride, ice cream, lemonade, coffee stands on the way to the sea. Love it!
This paved, scenic route is easy and breezy! Go on a hot day, and you will still feel refreshed! We have seen seals, mink, sunfish and even a baby humpback whale in the canal. This is a great trainer path for early spring or people who are starting out. Either side of the canal is a great ride. Just stay to the right, signal to pass, and enjoy the miles of view!
We started the trail in East Dennis and enjoyed the scenic ride! Easy ride, well marked- this trail is well maintained compared to other trails we've ridden. Great fall day ride!
I enjoyed this bikeway very much. You end at a beach what can be better than that. Was the right amount of challenge but if you go at a slower pace can be peaceful with plenty to see
My friend and I began our bike ride at the Buzzards Bay Recreation Area. We biked the entire length of the canal, to Scusset Beach. (about 7 miles) We parked our bikes and walked to the beach, took a swim then headed back. On the way back we stopped at the Herring Run parking lot, crossed the street and had an amazing Lobster Roll at Barlow's Clam Shack! It was a perfect day! There is an amazing splash pad at the Buzzards Bay Recreation Area, perfect for families! And its free! I am going to bring my grandson next time for sure!
We have biked this trail almost every year for the past 12 years. We plan our entire summers and cottage location on the proximity to this trail.
Biked the trail out and back on 8/5/19. New west end is smooth as butter; older east and northern parts have root bumps but are fine. Consider riding your hybrid, gravel, or mountain ride instead of your skinny bike. There are many road crossings but the Cape Cod drivers are amazingly respectful. They all stop. Be very very careful anyway, of course. 5 star trail.

With the climate changing and droughts on the rise, big changes are needed in order to save the state
May 8, 2021
CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER SCARCITIES are front and center in the western U.S. The region’s climate is warming, a severe multi-year drought is underway, and groundwater supplies are being overpumped in many locations.
Western states are pursuing many strategies to adapt to these stresses and prepare for the future. These include measures to promote renewable energy development, conserve water, and manage natural and working lands more sustainably.
California’s aging power infrastructure has contributed to catastrophic wildfires and multi-day outages. Building smart solar developments on canals and other disturbed lands can make power and water infrastructure more resilient while saving water, reducing costs, and helping to fight climate change. We believe it’s a model that should be considered across the country — and the planet.

Dairy - There are few foods as controversial as dairy. I mean, it used to be an entire food group, right? And there are definitely some people who say you need it. But, there are others who say to avoid it. And no one disputes that some people react to it. And by “react,” I mean both dairy intolerance and dairy allergies. But whether you love it, hate it, react to it, or avoid it, I have an amazing dairy-free recipe for you.
Having a food intolerance is not fun. It can cause abdominal pain, discomfort, and nausea. It also causes embarrassing symptoms like flatulence and diarrhea. Other symptoms linked to food intolerances include muscle or joint pain, headaches, exhaustion, and even skin symptoms like rashes and eczema.
Dairy is just one of those foods that many people seem to be intolerant of. Let’s talk about the main components of milk that people react to: lactose, casein, and whey.
Dairy Intolerance: Milk sugar (lactose) intolerance
According to The National Institute of Health, it’s estimated that around 65 percent of people globally, have a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Lactose intolerance in adulthood is most common in those of East Asian descent, along with those of West African, Arab, Jewish, Greek, and Italian descent. Apart from one’s ethnic background, there are other reasons that can contribute to lactose intolerance. For instance, issues with the digestive tract; such as inflammation (Crohn’s disease or celiac disease) can lead to a reduced production of the enzyme. Certain antibiotics or a bout of infection can interfere with one’s ability to product the lactase enzyme. Not to mention, as you age, the ability to produce lactase declines naturally.
Lactose is the carbohydrate “milk sugar” naturally found in most dairy products. Lactose intolerance is so common, that you can buy lactose-free milk in your regular grocery store. Lactose-free products are treated with the enzyme “lactase” that breaks the lactose down before you ingest it. It’s this lactase enzyme that is lacking in most people who are lactose intolerant.
The lactase enzyme is naturally released from your intestine as one of your digestive enzymes. It breaks down the lactose sugar in the gut. When someone doesn't have enough lactase, the lactose doesn't get broken down the way it should. Undigested lactose ends up being food for the resident gut microbes. As they ferment the lactose, they create gases that cause bloating, flatulence, pain, and sometimes diarrhea.
Lactose is in dairy, but is in lower amounts, in fermented dairy (e.g. cheese & yogurt) and butter. Steering clear of lactose isn't that easy as it is added to other foods like baked goods, soups, and sauces. And if you're taking any medications or supplements, check to see if it's in there too, as lactose is a common ingredient in them.
If you have symptoms of lactose intolerance, keep an eye on food, medication, and supplement labels.
Milk protein (casein & whey) allergy
Milk is a known, and common, food allergen. In Canada, it is considered a “priority allergen” and must be declared on food labels.
So, what are the allergens in milk? You've heard of "curds and whey?" Well, these are the two main proteins in milk. The solid bits are the curds (made of casein), and the liquid is the dissolved whey.
Unlike lactose intolerance, casein and whey can cause an actual immune response. It’s an allergy. And this immune response can cause inflammation. In fact, we don’t know how many people have these milk allergies, but most estimates put it far below that of lactose intolerance.Dairy: Full of nutrition… or allergens? If you suspect you react to dairy in any way, check out this blog post to learn the most common compounds that cause issues, the differences between them, and how to avoid them. #dietitian… Click To Tweet
Like lactose, these allergenic milk proteins can be found in other products too. They're not just in dairy but are often in protein powders as well (Have you heard of "whey" protein powders?).
Some of the symptoms of milk protein allergy differ from that of lactose intolerance; things like nasal congestion and mucus (phlegm) are more common here. And casein seems to be correlated with belly fat loss.
Interestingly, people who have gluten intolerance are often allergic to milk proteins like whey and casein as well. These can go hand-in-hand.
Like lactose intolerance, if you're allergic to casein and whey, keep a close eye on food labels so you can avoid these.
If you get gassy, bloated, or diarrhea after eating dairy, you may have a lactose intolerance. If you often get a stuffy nose and mucus, then you may be allergic to casein and/or whey.
While dairy may be an entire food group, it is not an essential nutrient. All the nutrients in dairy are available in other foods. If you experience these symptoms, you can try removing dairy from your diet. You may find improved digestion and fewer gut issues. Or you may find improved nasal congestion.

Innovative partnership battling domestic violence to be honored
For the past several years, domestic violence advocates have been responding to calls alongside Cincinnati police in an attempt to serve survivors in ways law enforcement and the legal system have struggled to do.
But the leaders of the program wanted to ensure it was working. They also wanted proof of their success. University of Cincinnati researchers have been analyzing in-depth data from the program for years now and publishing reports.
On Tuesday, the Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is recognizing this partnership among Women Helping Women, the Cincinnati Police Department and the UC School of Criminal Justice with an Advocacy, Partnership and Research Award.
"The Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training is proud to honor the recipients of these awards each year as we highlight the dedicated people in our communities and our academic health center who contribute to creating a healthier greater Cincinnati area all year round," officials said.
The Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team (Dvert) went on more than 950 calls last year.
In October, The Enquirer reported on how the program works, who it helps, how it fits into national calls for police reform and how it is rapidly expanding in the region.
The UC research project is scheduled to be in place for at least another two years. The information it has gathered already is invaluable according to leadership at Women Helping Women and the police department.
For example, it found that nearly 60% of the perpetrators that advocates encounter had a previous domestic violence arrest, but only 18% were ever convicted.
Paula Pierce, a survivor who was assisted by Dvert, said the real-time response of the advocate is what allowed her to get away from her abuser.
“If that lady hadn't have come that day, I believe he'd be right here," she said.

The coronavirus outbreak has hit home for local tech company Forcite, with its first shipment of smart motorbike helmets delayed and its co-founder stuck in quarantine in Hong Kong.
Forcite, which sold out of its first 1000 helmets within two weeks of opening pre-orders last year, was informed by one of its Chinese suppliers last week that on the government's instructions its facilities would be shut down until at least February 9.
With its first batch of helmets due to be delivered by the end of March, co-founder and chief executive Alfred Boyadgis said the shutdown would push back its delivery by at least a week, or longer if the spread of the virus is not contained and businesses remain closed.
To make matters worse, co-founder and head of design Julian Chow travelled to Hong Kong through Macau in January and came down with a cough. He is now stuck in a quarantine zone, reporting to authorities every few days about his condition.
"If the factory opens on February 9, delivery only goes back a week, but I highly doubt [the outbreak] will be contained by then," Mr Boyadgis said.
"The Chinese government is doing as much as it can to contain the spread of the coronavirus, but for us to use a local supplier instead is next to impossible for this particular component."
The company started out making smart snowsports helmets, but it did not get the uptake it was expecting. Mr Boyadgis and Mr Chow then switched focus to motorbike helmets, and the customer reaction was immediate.
Improvements in self-driving car technology also meant that camera systems and software for its helmets were more advanced.
Its MK1 helmets, which sell for $1299 have an in-built Sony HD video camera and an audio and LED display systems, which informs a rider of alerts for speed cameras, red-light cameras, accidents or other disruptions.
"Most of our factory is in Taiwan, but because it's so close to China, the trade channel is closed," Mr Boyadgis said.
"We were supposed to go to Asia to check on the progress on the delivery of the helmets, but there's now travel warnings saying you go there at your own risk, so that might even mean travel insurance won't cover you."
If its Chinese supplier does not recommence operations soon, the delays may also affect Forcite's planned US launch of pre-orders for mid-year.
Mr Boyadgis said Mr Chow operates as head of design, so the company has had to push a lot of work load onto other engineers until further notice.
"We've booked flights to Taiwan at our own risk because we need to see what's happening with production, but some people in our company are quite concerned," he said.
Travel caution spreads
The outbreak of the cornoavirus, which had claimed 304 lives and infected 14,380 people as of Monday afternoon, has also prompted other local tech companies with Chinese operations to implement practices to reduce potential exposure to the virus for their employees.
Prior to the government ban on travellers from China entering the country, cross-border payments company Airwallex imposed a mandatory 14-day home quarantine for any staff travelling into Australia from China, while ASX-listed artificial intelligence language and data services company Appen suspended all work trips into and out of China.
"We’re implementing a few things in China to reduce the chances of exposure to the virus, including having staff work from home for the foreseeable future, suspending travel and postponing face-to-face meetings," Appen chief executive Mark Brayan said.
"We have a growing team there and their health and wellbeing is very important to us. We’re in touch with all of our staff and all of them are fit and well. We’re [also] in touch with customers to manage any impacts to the work we do with them."

I spent years listening to criticisms -- some fair, but many unfair -- of President Bush and members of his Administration. I was particularly troubled when government ethics was used as a political weapon instead of seen as a problem that both parties need to address (see page 267 of my book, Is Partisanship an Obstacle to Ethics Reform?). I do not agree with some of President Obama's policies (I worry that the dramatic expansion of government will create many problems for our Country including problems with government ethics). I strongly object, however, to using ethics as a political weapon against the President in circumstances where it is not justified.
I am still looking for convincing evidence that the President can be blamed for corruption of Chicago politicians. I don't see it. To the contrary, the President appears to have jumped ahead of many other Illinois Democrats because he was perceived to be both honest and intelligent, and voters wanted a change.
Both political parties in Illinois are to blame. Illinois may soon become the first state with two governors, one Republican and one Democrat, who serve their terms concurrently. Terms of incarceration that is. Governors Ryan and Blagojevich, if he is convicted, should consider sharing a cell; they can talk politics and perhaps learn more about bipartisanship. A Governor's Wing in an Illinois federal prison might also be appropriate because unless things change there will be future inmates with a similar pedigree.
I know something about Illinois politics because I lived there not only as a law professor in the late 1990's and early 2000's but also as a teenager in the 1970's, when Dan Walker (D) was Governor. Governor Walker later upheld an Illinois tradition by serving 18 months in prison for bank fraud.
Illinois, however, should be proud of a long line of politicians who rose to prominence despite corruption in the political parties that supported them. Adlai Stevenson, Adlai Stevenson III., Charles Percy, Paul Simon, Peter Fitzgerald, and many other names come to mind. The evidence suggests strongly that President Obama fits within this category.
Indeed, in 2004 it was corruption in the Illinois Republican Party, not the Democratic Party, that did the most for then State Senator Obama's career. Peter Fitzgerald, a first term Republican, held the U.S. Senate Seat, which he had won from Carol Moseley Braun. I got to know Senator Fitzgerald while I was teaching at the University of Illinois. He was a fine Senator, but he did not always do what made him popular.
Fitzgerald had jumped in line ahead of Republican machine politicians and in office he stood up to them. He insisted that the Lincoln Library at the University of Illinois not be used for political patronage by Governor Ryan. With a bribery scandal brewing in the Governor's office, Senator Fitzgerald asked President Bush to appoint a United States Attorney who would prosecute Republicans as well as Democrats for political corruption (Patrick Fitzgerald, who is no relation to the Senator, got the job, and then did his job which eventually landed the Governor in prison). Governor Ryan's Republican machine made it clear that there would be a primary challenge to Senator Fitzgerald in 2004. Fitzgerald probably would have survived, but he would have had to spend millions of his own money to keep the seat. He called it quits.
The Republicans then found a nominee named Jack Ryan (no relation to the Governor). Things looked good until the Democrats found Ryan's divorce papers in a California court file (the Republicans did not think to look into the divorce before nominating Ryan). When the divorce papers revealed tales of Paris s&m bars and other salacious material, Ryan was finished (that kind of thing does not fly downstate where the Republican votes are).
At that point, I strongly suggested that the Illinois Republican Party look to its younger generation of rising stars, perhaps State Representative Chapin Rose (R -- Mahomet). Even if it lost the seat, the Party would have a chance to showcase honesty and intellectual gravitas in its younger ranks. This suggestion was ignored. For a while it looked as if a dogcatcher, provided it was Governor Ryan's dogcatcher, could get the nomination. I even considered making a go for it on a reform platform -- but I knew that my talents, whatever they might be, lay elsewhere.
The Republicans did worse than the dog catcher. Alan Keyes is a bright man with interesting ideas, but he ran a lackluster campaign, most of it from offices out of state. State Senator Obama was destined to score a blowout, winning the entire State by margins Democrats had thus far achieved only in Chicago. He was going to be the star of the 2004 Democratic convention. The rest is history.
I have since left Illinois, but I am saddened by the fact that so many governors and other Illinois politicians have headed off to jail over so many years, and politicians who are corrupt remain in office. Many Illinois politicians are not corrupt, but they tolerate corruption. Some, including now President Obama and State Representative Rose whom I mentioned earlier and who served on the committee that impeached Governor Blagojevich, speak out against corruption. The fact that these people serve in the Illinois legislature with some corrupt colleagues -- or that they may meet some corrupt people along the way — should not be held against them unless we do not want anybody honest going into politics in Illinois. Regardless of party affiliation, I hope we can look back with pride upon the era of Stevenson and Percy, be grateful in the present for President Obama's commitment to ethics whether or not we agree with his policies, and look forward to a new more ethically fit generation of leaders in Illinois and around the Country. This has nothing to do with being a Republican -- it has everything to do with being an American.

By far the biggest concern for us, which was drummed into troops everyday, was the threat of attack from Russia. We were told 'loose lips costs lives'. We were shown bad training videos of how woman would be used by the 'communists' in bars to trap us. We were even supposed to report any sightings, wherever we were, of diplomatic cars.
Then, suddenly, the RAF Regiment were straightening trees, everyone was painting everything for days and Gorbachev rocked up at our air base for talks with Maggie. A decade later Yeltsin was getting drunk, dancing like your dad and the Berlin wall was torn down. We were all astonished to find, when the iron curtain was pulled back, not a technological wizard but a nation on the brink of bankruptcy and a country over-run by the Russian Mafia.
Years passed and the Bear clambered out of its poverty to become a power house once again. Sure we still had, affectively, a dictator in the form of Putin but the country needed someone tough enough to sort it out, in my opinion.
Investment flowed in, changes started to happen and the image of Russians became not some dour, grey, sullen people but a newly invigorated generation of rich, confident 'new Europeans'.
I met several Russians and found them to be amusing, interesting and charged with the spirit of entrepreneurship that somehow had faded in the UK and, I have to admit, my views of the country and its people changed dramatically. No longer the cold war threat but a land of opportunity.
I still have a soft spot for the Russians but I worry, these days, whether we are entering a new 'cold war', this time based on economics rather than ideology.
Foreign investors have become extremely wary of the Russian stock market after the Kremlin moved yet again to tighten its noose around the country's energy and mining sector, launching anti-trust probes against London-listed Evraz Holding and Raspadsky Coal.
The bare-knuckle fight for control over BP's Russian TNK-BP has also deeply shocked investors in the City and New York. The joint venture had been launched in 2003 with the personal blessing of Mr Putin, making it quite different from the foreign resource grab during the Yeltsin era that so enrages Russian nationalists.
"The market is panicking and foreign investors are pulling out of equities," said Michael Ganske, a Russia expert at Commerzbank.
"People fear that the rule of law is breaking down. I think this is an overreaction, but the Russian government has to be careful in the way it uses rhetoric in this investment climate," he said.
Mr Putin has already pre-empted the findings of the Mechel investigation, accusing the company of engaging in illegal price-gouging and abuse of the tax system by selling to their off-shore companies at a "quarter" of the world price. "This is a reduction of domestic taxable income. This is tax evasion," he claimed
Mechel's share price has fallen by half since the Federal Anti-monopoly Service (FAS) knocked on the door last week, shedding $8bn of market value. The company insists that it merely took advantage of uneven pricing at home and abroad in the coal-coking market and has done nothing illegal.
The FAS is now investigating whether Evraz - part-owned by Chelsea proprietor Roman Abramovich - and Raspadsky Coal have abused their "dominant position" in the coking sector. The two companies declined to comment. Along with Mechel, they control half the Russian market.
Investors are watching with a jaundiced eye, alert to the "Yukos risk". The Yukos oil group was hobbled by tax probes and effectively expropriated by the Russian government in 2004. Its former chief, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is serving an eight-year sentence in a Siberian prison. The trial was widely criticised as a mockery of justice.
Robert Amsterdam, Mr Khodorkovsky's lawyer, said there is probably an ulterior motive behind the latest wave of probes. "We have reached a point in Russia where nothing can be treated as a one-off affair. There is a systemic raiding-mechanism directed by the top," he said.
"These types of attacks are usually combined with 'short-trading' by people inside the government, or they are a hard-ball tactic for extracting contracts. More broadly, I think foreign investors need to ask themselves whether they can trust the audited books of any company in Russia. It is impossible to conduct an independent audit," he said
Maybe Mr Putin is seeing this as an unfinished part of his project to make Russia the powerful nation it once was, but the problem with alienating investors is that this brings back the old mistrust of the Russian state and that is a downward spiral to building the wall again.
It is surely a good bet that Russia will never return to the old communist days, but the lessons that might be being learned from China is that you can still operate a totalitarian regime and create a vibrant capitalist style economy.
I just hope that this is not the beginning of the end for the fun loving, globe trotting Ruskis that at I have come to regard as a welcome addition to my friends and colleagues.

Coke described its new flavor in a press release, saying that Dreamland, “bottles up the Technicolor tastes and surrealism of the subconscious, and adds playfully vibrant flavor notes that evoke the boundless creativity of the human imagination to the unmistakable taste of Coca-Cola.”

Before Dreamworld, Creations carried out three specially prepared drinks. Starlight was space-flavorted, Byte was pixel-flavor, and the third enhanced was created with Grammy-designated maker, Marshmello.
“Coca-Cola Dreamworld taps into Gen Z’s passion for the infinite potential of the mind by exploring what a dream tastes like,” Alessandra Cascino, Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit’s creative and shopper program director, said in a statement. “Like the Coca-Cola Creations that came before it, Dreamworld plays with the unexpected and will no doubt provoke discovery and debate among consumers … which we welcome.”
The soft drink likewise accompanies an Augmented Reality melodic experience made with electronic dance celebration, Tomorrowland, as well as a “Fantasy land roused computerized style assortment for the metaverse through an organization with DRESSX and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.”
Beginning Monday, Aug. 15, Dreamworld will be accessible in staple and corner stores across the U.S. There will be both normal and zero-sugar choices accessible, and it will be sold by the container and in jars.
Coca-Cola didn’t say how long this new flavor would be accessible.

Alternate Title: What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Released: 1997 (Original Game: 1995)
I have two confessions to make: the first, I'm not really a big PC gamer. I was basically born with a controller in my hands and I find it rather awkward playing games with a keyboard and mouse. The second, I'm not a fan of hard games. I've never been a big fan of the whole "practise and eventually you'll get it" gameplay. Now, with Peace Walker on hold indefinitely while I replace the wires of my external hard-drive my cat chewed through, the next game I've been given to play is a hard PC game. Rayman Forever. It's the only version of Rayman I own, via Good Old Games, thus sadly I did not get a free fridge magnet.
It is a collection of Rayman Gold (the updated version of the original PC Rayman), with a level editor and a separate pack of levels made by fans. I will play through some of these, unless I get very good at Rayman, in which case I may try and show them all off. I will be honest, I played a little a couple of days ago and it was not pretty.
Rayman is a series that I have a little experience with, despite owning three different ports of it, I've never finished Rayman 2, but I have played enough to know I really like it. The only other Rayman game I own is the racing/multiplayer game 'Rayman M', another game I have yet to finish. Before two days ago I had no experience with the first game whatsoever. This is probably going to hurt.
If you'd rather play it yourself, you can download Rayman on the Playstation Network for £3.99, or buy the whole Forever package (minus fridge magnet. Seriously, I want the fridge magnet dammit!) from Good Old Games for $5.99 (or whatever the equivalent cost is in your local currency).
So, let's delay the pain no longer. Rayman may have no limbs, but by the end of this game, I may have no soul. See you for part one!

Vice President Mike Pence claims to have arranged a “cease-fire” between Turkey and the Syrian Kurds, but no one is on the same page.
“This is not a cease-fire, this is a pause for our operation,” said Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. However, he echoed Pence’s claims on the parameters of the agreement.
According to a joint U.S.-Turkish readout of the meeting, the two sides agreed to a “safe zone” that will be “enforced by the Turkish Armed Forces” with U.S. cooperation. Kurdish forces will withdraw from a strip along the Syrian-Turkish border, dismantling their fortifications and handing over their heavy weapons.
Gen. Mazloum “Kobani” Abdi, high commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), told Kurdish television that the SDF accepts a limited cease-fire between Ra’s al-Ayn (Serê Kaniyê) and Tel Abyad, and signalled that he will not accept a permanent Turkish presence in Syria.

(Continued from my last entry, San Diego Comic Con 2018 Notes and Commentary, Part 1)
At times, the cosplay at the San Diego Comic Con is the best part of the whole show.
The display of costumed participation has been a cornerstone of con participation among attendees. The prominent among them craft their costumes from scratch, with hard work and dedication. The results bring to life, something awesomely different and familiar. Over the years, I see more body/face paint used, practically effects, LED light use, and clever additions.
Often the choice of cosplay defines the popularity by its growing fandom. This year we got more Steven Universe, Teen Titans, and recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films take the lead. And, more Deadpools, Batmans, Harley Quinns, and Boba Fetts can be spotted from every corner.
So here below, are choice costumes catching my eye. All awesome, and well represented here at the SDCC 2018. Take a look:
That’s enough for now for the cosplay. There’s more from the San Diego Comic Con 2018, coming soon.

This review of the extant literature suggests that the examination of homophobia, heterosexism and gay/lesbian identities in sport remains a topic of analysis for very few scholars. In addition, there may be debate whether articles relative to masculinity and femininity, traditional gender role constructions, gender relations and the social construction of sport and sport as masculine culture should be included. Despite the narrowness or breadth of topics considered, homophobia, a weapon of sexism and hegemonic masculinity (and femininity) becomes a powerful resistance to patriarchy and male domination. The review begins with definitions of homophobia and moves to research and discussions that focus more directly on homophobia in sport and physical education. To present the breadth of topics that could be considered, additional sections include articles dealing with lesbianism in sport, heterosexism in sport, and a brief overview of homophobia in the popular press. Lack of theoretical frameworks, applications of theory and insufficient impirical evidence contribute to an uneveness in the literature and make it difficult to draw specific conclusions.

David Kidman of fRoots
reviews Beneath Our Changing Sky by Test Valley Community ChoirsThis enchanting new release from the Hampshire?based WildGoose label presents an anthology of songs from Hampshire sources, past and present, sung by community choirs from the Test Valley district (between Andover and Romsey)... who play such an important part in spreading such songs and keeping them alive. The choirs in question are the Andover Museum Loft Singers and Broughton Village Choir, both around 20 strong but each quite different in character. The recording was made in the Church of St. Mary the Less at Chilbolton, and has captured the vocal nuances and potentially awkward internal balance very well. Led by Traditional Arts Projects artistic director Roger Watson, these choirs have developed a style of harmony which owes much to old traditions both secular and sacred.
Arrangements, either in three or four parts, echo the style of West Gallery church music, with its fugues, canons and responding phrases. Parts are not allocated to gender, but chosen by the singers for range, balance and preference. The track listing contains a number of items that are familiar to those frequenting singers clubs ? Fathom The Bowl, The Farmers Arms ?though the fulsome arrangements and distinctive stylings may not be to everyones taste. Particularly on first acquaintance, some (The Faithful Plough, Home Lads Home for instance), may seem just a little rarefied, deliberate or precious, having the effect of smoothing out the sentiment to an extent, while others may seem a little stiff or formal or self?consciously arty. Others (such as The Labouring Man and Barleycorn Carol) which have a more immediately accessible energetic quality, may thus more readily appeal. The title track, by the way, very affectingly sets a lyric created by Wherwell children to a traditional melody.
Certainly, the key to appreciating these vital performances is to listen with fresh ears and jettison preconceptions, so that you can greet old friends in new clothes as it were.
