According to Dan Rosen of NHL.com, the Detroit Red Wings are likely to trade goaltender Thomas Greiss before the deadline passes.
At this juncture of the campaign, the Red Wings trail the Boston Bruins by 12 points for the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Their chances of catching them at not particularly high at this point, so they are expected to be sellers. With Greiss being 36 years old and having an expiring contract, he is one of their notable rental candidates.
Greiss could be a decent backup goaltender for a playoff team looking to get stronger at the position. The struggling New Jersey Devils could even look to acquire him, as it’s been reported that they are looking to acquire a goaltender for the short term due to both MacKenzie Blackwood and Jonathan Bernier being out long term.
In 19 appearances this campaign, Greiss has an 8-8-1 record, 3.23 goals-against average, and .900 save percentage. It’s been a bit of a down year for him, as he just sported a .912 save percentage and 2.70 goals-against average last season with Detroit.
It will be interesting to see if Greiss gets moved before the deadline. With his contract expiring and the Red Wings still rebuilding, it wouldn’t hurt to get a draft pick for him.

Yesterday in New York City—terrible weather threatening all day, and a one-hour train trip home transformed into a six-hour wait-a-thon due to downed wires. Trains packed to bursting!
All that couldn’t dampen my enthusiastic endorsement of the Rolling Stones exhibit at Industria, a show venue in Manhattan’s West Village near the south end of the Highline (775 Washington Street, entrance on 12th), on view until March 12.
Seeing Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ronnie, and the others throughout a fantastic 50-year career tickles a lot of memories. One of the themes of the show is how they—Mick and Charlie, especially—recognized early that there was more to “show business” than their music. As a result they involve many of the arts and artists in their work. Alliances with folks like Andy Warhol and top set designers, graphic artists, and fashion designers led not only to innovative, memorable album covers and shows, but also plenty of interesting material for this exhibit!
The music gets its due, as well. You see a recreation of one of their favorite studios, lyrics as they wrote them in a notebook, and, if you’ve ever picked up a guitar, the display of many beautiful instruments they’ve used over the years and their comments about them are fascinating.
An early apartment is recreated (you wouldn’t want to live there), and the show ends with a 3-D movie. “Satisfaction,” indeed.

The “Power On” event and CB01 GMT launch at the Watch Angels Manufacture.
On the 1st of July we met at our manufacture in Mendrisio, Switzerland for the 1st Watch Angels get together and the live launch of the CB01 GMT by Cedric Bellon.
Some Angels came from very far, some from all corners of Europe and some from all corners of Switzerland.
We had two groups, one starting at 15h taking part in all the activities and one group who joined at 18h for a factory tour and the live launch of the CB01 GMT, moderated by Alessandro Recalcati, the President of the Swiss Watchmaking Association of Ticino, representing the industrial watchmaking ecosystem of our region.
On the menu were the vist ouf our manufacture (production, assembly, technical developement, R&D and logistics), incredibly inspiring and emotional talks by our creators (Thomas Bühlmann, Cedric Bellon and Thomas Funder), the presentation of the new book by Waltham historian Stan Czubernat and the display of all our collections.
We all also participated to a production game where had to estimate the production phases and the timings, difficulties, inputs and outputs of each phase. This was fun and enlightening at the same time!
Last but not least, the main course of the menu was socialising and having a very good time! And a good time we had!!
Here are some pictures of the day:
We all look forward to the next event and in case you love watchmaking, especially the independent brands one, consider joining the Watch Angels community!

Journalism Department introduces new prerequisites for EDC
The journalism department created a new series of quizzes journalism students must pass before checking out equipment from the Equipment Distribution Center.
The department designed the quizzes, also known as badges, for students who need to check out equipment for a specific journalism class, as opposed to extracurricular uses. To check out a certain tool like a DSLR camera, students must pass the corresponding quiz on Canvas to earn a badge. Journalism Department Chair Janet Kolodzy helped develop the new program.
“I think it’s important that we explore more than just one way in which students get up to speed with technology, and that we explore a couple of ways,” Kolodzy said. “I want the badges to be a way in which students can feel their technological expertise is recognized and useful.”
At the moment, the journalism department offers six base-level badge courses on Canvas, according to Kolodzy. The badge course students must take depends on the curriculum of their journalism class.
Prior to the development of the badge program, journalism professors required students to take workshops before gaining access to hardware. The badges will replace workshops moving forward, as students in the past often took the same workshop multiple times for different classes, according to Kolodzy.
Students must complete a 15-question prerequisite course called the Safety Badge prior to checking out equipment from the EDC or taking other EDC-oriented badge quizzes, according to Kolodzy. Technology Director for the School of Communications Jonathan Satriale and journalism professor Angela Anderson-Connolly worked with Kolodzy to develop this course over the summer.
The student receives a passing grade for the safety course if they answer 11 out of 15 questions correctly, or 73 percent. If the student fails the safety quiz on the first try, the course allows them three attempts to pass. They may refer back to information in the modules.
The Safety Badge consists of several modules in which students read through informational slides. These modules cover topics such as what to bring when reporting and how to handle potentially dangerous situations while reporting.
Associate Director of Media Technologies and Production Timothy MacArthur said the EDC receives the results of the course online after the student completes it on Canvas.
“Anything that can reinforce awareness of how equipment works and how to be safe is valuable,” MacArthur said in regard to the badges. “The EDC hopes to be a resource for students looking for help with equipment.”
Kolodzy said she wants students to leave the safety badge course with a baseline understanding of situational awareness.
“These days, unfortunately, journalists sometimes aren’t welcome in places,” Kolodzy said. “I want [students] to take away how to be able to do their job in the smartest way possible in terms of safety.”
Kolodzy said the journalism department hopes to offer intermediate and mastery badges in various topics. One such badge might certify a student possesses a comprehensive understanding of Final Cut Pro, according to Kolodzy.
Freshman journalism major Julia Mallon said the difficulty of the safety badge test surprised her.
“I had to go back and read the slides diligently because the questions were pretty specific,” Mallon said.

The Glu298Asp single nucleotide polymorphism in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene differentially effects the vascular response to acute consumption of fruit and vegetable puree-based drinks
George, T. W. , Niwat, C. , Waroonphan, S. , Gordon, M. H. and Lovegrove, J. A. (2012) The Glu298Asp single nucleotide polymorphism in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene differentially effects the vascular response to acute consumption of fruit and vegetable puree-based drinks.

Scope Diets low in fruits and vegetables (FV) are responsible for 2.7 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and certain cancers annually. Many FV and their juices contain flavonoids, some of which increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the eNOS gene, where thymine (T) replaces guanine (G) at position 894 predicting substitution of glutamate for aspartate at codon 298 (Glu298Asp), has been associated with increased CVD risk due to effects on nitric oxide synthesis and subsequently vascular reactivity. Individuals can be homozygous for guanine (GG), thymine (TT) or heterozygous (GT). Methods and results We investigated the effects of acute ingestion of a FV-puree-based-drink (FVPD) on vasodilation and antioxidant status in subjects retrospectively genotyped for this polymorphism. Healthy volunteers (n = 24; 11 GG, 11 GT, 2 TT) aged 30–70 were recruited to a randomized, controlled, crossover, acute study. We showed that acute consumption of 400 mL FVPD differentially affected individuals depending on their genotype. There was a significant genotype interaction for endothelium-dependent vasodilation measured by laser Doppler imaging with iontophoresis (P < 0.05) and ex vivo low-density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation (P = 0.002). GG subjects had increased endothelium-dependent vasodilation 180 min (P = 0.028) and reduced ex vivo LDL oxidation (P = 0.013) after 60 min after FVPD compared with control, no differences were observed in GT subjects. Conclusion eNOS Glu298Asp genotype differentially affects vasodilation and ex vivo LDL oxidation after consumption of FV in the form of a puree-based drink.

New rules and cautious banks are causing appraisals to come in so low that they are killing sales at the last minute
Sixteen couples recently attended an open house here for the chance to bid on a four-bedroom, wood-frame colonial listed for $799,000.
What surprised Gary Leogrande, a Keller Williams NY Realty agent leading the sale, was not the number of people interested -- as in Southwest Florida, New York residential sales picked up this spring -- but that several were already in contract to buy other houses.
"At first I couldn't imagine what was going on," said Leogrande. "Why were they here at this open house if they had signed a contract on another?"
When he inquired, the potential buyers explained that they had been stymied -- and often at the last minute after they had been approved for mortgages -- when appraisals came in lower than expected.
When that happens, signed contracts are no longer binding.
And, as Leogrande and other brokers note, the phenomenon has been occurring more frequently as the nation's still often unstable housing markets try to reach equilibrium.
To counter an appraisal problem, sellers can come down in price to reduce the amount of a mortgage; buyers can increase their down payments; or the two parties can meet somewhere in between.
But in many cases, frustrated buyers abandon their deals and, like those attending the White Plains open house, explore other options.
"We're at a point in the market where prices are finally trending upward," said Michael Marciano, a broker with Keller Williams NY. "But banks are still wary of another surge, and they don't want to be left holding the bag again."
Mark Logue, the president of Thoroughbred Mortgage, an affiliate of Wells Fargo, said that in the aftermath of the real estate market collapse, appraisers have felt pressure to value homes conservatively.
Another factor complicating appraisers' lives these days is that stricter state and federal laws require them to base their comparisons on at least six recent similar sales. In slow sales periods, that is sometimes hard to do, Logue said.
Appraisers sometimes are strangers to the neighborhood where they are working -- which is not always conducive to accurate appraisals.
Federal and state code-of-conduct laws passed in the last several years require banks to choose appraisers through intermediaries, in an effort to avoid conflicts of interest and pressure.
But, too often, the law sometimes results in the hiring of appraisers who have no knowledge of a local market and do not factor in critical variables, said Ted Holmes, Prudential Douglas Elliman's director of operations for Westchester, N.Y.
That can prove especially problematic in places like Westchester, where there are overlapping school districts and ZIP codes. For example, a home with an upscale Scarsdale address might actually be in a low-performing Yonkers school district.
Sally Slater, a broker with Prudential Douglas Elliman in Bedford, contends the new appraisal process has made already complicated deals tougher. She cited a recent $815,000 listing for a three-bedroom house on two acres with an in-ground pool.
Buyer and seller signed a contract for $785,000 and were set to close in 30 days. But then, the appraisal came in at only $700,000.
"My first response was, 'Something is clearly wrong here!' " Slater said. "Let's try another bank. Let's get another mortgage."
They did, and when the second appraisal came in at $785,000, the sale moved forward, but not before the nervous buyers almost walked away.
In another case, an appraiser from the Midwest was sent to value 105 acres of undeveloped land in Bedford for sale at $1.8 million, Slater said.
He appraised the property at $600,000, so Slater obtained another appraisal, this time from someone familiar with local property values. The appraisal agreed with the asking price.
In some cases, buyers are willing to make up the difference. Logue listed a three-bedroom colonial on five acres in Yorktown recently, for $975,000. Buyer and seller signed a contract for $899,000, only to have the appraisal come in at $815,000.
Because there were not enough comparable sales in the area, the two parties are renegotiating.
"These buyers are not backing out," he said.


AMD may quit processor business
The latest leaked AMD roadmaps for the future have painted a surprising picture – if we judge by this information the AMD FX Vishera processors will be the most advanced PC processor by AMD until 2015 and possibly even beyond. This most likely means that AMD has given up on CPU competition with rival Intel.
This fact is further proved by the roadmaps themselves that offer many more APUs than Intel processors with integrated graphics. The first new family known as Kaveri will ship very soon; Kaveri will be superseded by Carrizo while Kabini will be taken over by Beema in mid-2014.
If AMD quits the PC chip business then this day will be a very sad one as the company has significantly shaped the world we live in by releasing milestone products. Let’s not forget that AMD was the first company to add 64-bit extensions to its processor line and call the subsequent product AMD64. This is true for many more occasions.

From Chapter One
Drawing and painting are primordial abilities in human culture, and have always been connected to magical and religious symbolism. Their first known manifestations were in so-called rock art, which emerged with the European Homo sapiens during the Upper Paleolithic period, about forty thousand years ago.
In ancient and classical Western civilizations, the locations for paintings were the walls, friezes, columns, and facades of temples and other monuments. Painting as an entirely independent work--what we now call pictures--emerged in Europe in the form of Christian iconography produced on panels and altarpieces. Later, the canvas stretched over a frame and mounted on an easel became more widespread.
In the chronological order in which works are presented here, there is a greater weight placed upon those pieces created between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. This is not only because this era produced such a great number of brilliant artists and masterpieces in the unfolding of the Renaissance but also because it produced a great number of paintings containing esoteric symbols and Hermetic messages--indeed, more than ever before. In its revisionist examination of the past, Renaissance culture produced a new kind of profane philosophy, setting aside Christian theology and recovering the Hermetic sources of antiquity and their arcane mysteries. Yet the principal patrons of the arts continued to be the popes, the prelates, and the aristocrats connected to the Church, which prohibited as heresy all occultist readings and practices and even punished these with death. In order to avoid being discovered, artists such as Botticelli, Hieronymus Bosch, and Leonardo da Vinci carefully concealed within their works secret allusions to their esoteric convictions and wisdom. This was also the case for patrons who were adept in the occult sciences, such as Duke Cosimo de Medici in Florence, who expected his artists to include in their works symbols and allusions referring to the mystical creed they--and he--professed.
The great fifteenth-century artist linked to Renaissance paganism and occultism included various initiatory symbols in Primavera (Uffizi Gallery, Florence). The painting’s characters, taken from classical mythology, form a scene filled with Hermetic allusions.
The Esoteric Symbols
Sandro Botticelli was not simply a painter of the religious and secular themes typical of the Renaissance; he was a man initiated into the mysterious paganism that pervaded the intellectual and artistic circles of this era. Iconologists who explore the secret messages and symbols in works of art always show a particular interest in deciphering the occult codes underlying the mythological bucolicism of Primavera.
According to the most widely accepted esoteric interpretation, the entire painting expresses a Hermetic description of the spiritual being’s voyage into the material reality of the manifest world. Each of the different characters represents an element in this journey, making his or her inclusion consistent in the scene depicted. Let us see what these elements are and what they tell us as we read them in the proper direction, from right to left.
Zephyr’s greenish blue color is not a caprice on the artist’s part. This strange and unique chromatic shade distinguishes him clearly from the other figures who make up the scene. In classical mythology, Zephyr was the young god of springtime, and a soft breeze scattered the flowers gathered in his cloak. In Botticelli’s painting, this flowery function corresponds to Flora, whose serene beauty contrasts with the god’s sullen face and livid complexion. We should now understand that Zephyr is not actually a god and does not form part of any imaginary Olympus, much less the real or manifest world. As the god he appears to be, he represents the force of wind, but a wind of the subterranean world that rises up from a different dimension, pushing forward the nymph Chloris simply to introduce her into the scene.
Who, then, is Chloris? Her name suggests clarity, light, and the color white, symbolizing innocent purity. She is the pure and luminous soul that must confront the karmic process; she is shoved forward by the secret energy of life in its journey toward spiritual perfection. In the painting, the nymph turns her face toward her captor with an expression that suggests a certain fear or resistance before this force that pushes her and obliges her to transform herself. The painter has captured her in the moment of being transformed into Flora, the brilliant beauty of springtime as symbolized by her flowery costume and her triumphal advance toward the exterior of the painting (possibly the real world).
Botticelli conveyed this transfiguration in a detail of the two figures: For each one, the right foot is in exactly the same position at an equal distance from the bottom edge of the painting. While Chloris is standing on her right foot in order to lift her left one, Flora’s left foot is forward, placed on the ground, thus completing the movement begun by Chloris. Together, the two represent the same initiatory path.
Some who have interpreted the secret language of Primavera have claimed that these three figures on the right side of the canvas comprise their own theme in addition to their role in the secret message of the work in its entirety. Zephyr, who belongs to an Orphic dimension and cannot enter the manifest world, introduces Chloris into it; by changing into Flora, Chloris transmits the power of incarnating springtime. For this reason, Flora carries at her side the flowers that the mythological Zephyr carried in his cloak and assumes his function, scattering them in the earthly dimension. Moreover, because Chloris represents the spirit in its pure state, she begins her human transition as springtime, the season that symbolizes the young phase of life.

How to Plan for Life After Detox
In your recovery from addiction, detox often feels like a massive hurdle standing between you and a life of freedom. For others, it might appear to be a one-and-done step — meaning that detox is all you need for a successful, sustained recovery.
As much as we’d love for that to be true, detox is actually only the first step in a lifelong journey of healing and growth.
Once detox is complete, the real recovery process begins. Detox is crucial for cleansing your physical body in order to start with a fresh slate, but aftercare is even more important for cleansing the mind and undoing the damage caused by addiction. For this reason, no one should leave a detox facility without an aftercare treatment plan in place.
When does a discharge occur?
Discharge happens when you have successfully completed detox and the drugs and/or alcohol are no longer in your body’s system. This can be anywhere from three days to two weeks after you start. Certain factors – such as medical history, the presence of co-occurring disorders and the length/method of addiction – play a role in not only how severe one’s detox will be, but how long it will take.
Once your medical caretakers determine you to be fully detoxed and ready for the next step in the process, your therapist will meet with you and work alongside you to come up with the best plan for detox aftercare to ensure a sustained recovery.
Who is part of aftercare planning?
You, of course, have a say in your aftercare planning, as it’s important to the success of your overall treatment to make sure the plan is personalized to meet your needs.
Additionally, your therapist plays a crucial role in any aftercare treatment plans to ensure the proper steps are being taken to look after your mental health. If you were prescribed medications during detox, you will likely also work with a psychiatrist — these individuals are allowed to prescribe medications and will be essential as you navigate the medical side of recovery.
Lastly, your loved ones — be they relatives, roommates or trusted friends — may also be a part of your detox aftercare plan. The people who you live with, or who play an important role in your life, are vital to all have on the same page as regards your treatment plan; they can offer additional support during this time of transition, as well as help keep you accountable if needed.
What does detox aftercare look like?
Generally speaking, aftercare transitions through phases of intensity as you become more independent and strong in your recovery. While some individuals do return home immediately following detox, this is never recommended. Because recovery is not just the process of cleansing the body, but a whole journey of rewiring the brain and healing the mind, those who do not pursue additional treatment tend to relapse within the first couple of weeks after returning home.
In order to prevent relapse, aftercare treatment plans often include time in an inpatient treatment facility and then a sober living home.
An inpatient treatment facility is where you can continue to receive monitoring, support and clinical services following detox. These facilities offer different levels of care and supervision depending on your needs, but have strict rules surrounding sobriety in order to encourage habits that you will take with you when you return to everyday living.
In an inpatient treatment facility, you will continue to attend both individual and group counseling, be guided through holistic therapies like yoga and meditation as you work on your mental health and begin working towards goals that will help maintain sobriety long-term. The routines, habits and healthy coping mechanisms created during inpatient treatment are all things you will be able to take with you to the next stage.
Outpatient sober living
While inpatient treatment is more supervised, outpatient sober living offers more freedom while still providing a safe and secure environment. Many individuals will choose to move into a sober living home following inpatient treatment for the sake of increased stability while they “dip their toes” back into the outside world. Many seek employment during this time and having a safe place to return to can be extremely beneficial to long-term recovery.
Sober living homes also offer the availability of help 24/7, but do not provide constant medical monitoring. Truly a transitional phase, outpatient sober living prepares you for the next step, giving you a community to rely on all the while encouraging and promoting your own growth and independence.
Individuals may reside in a sober living home for anywhere from one month to six months until they and their therapist determine they are ready for life outside treatment. Then, once they do return home, it is always encouraged to attend weekly meetings with either a therapist or support group to help maintain that mindset of recovery and feel supported in a like-minded community.
Beginning the process
Drug detoxing and addiction recovery is a long journey, but it doesn’t have to be a gruesome one. While challenges will present themselves, you can equip yourself to face these challenges by taking the initiative to find a good detox provider and ensuring that aftercare treatment is planned and ready.
To begin your recovery journey today, consider reaching out to Freedom Detox. We offer personalized treatment in addition to aftercare plans to make sure your recovery is sustained. To learn more, visit our website anytime or contact our offices by calling 800-475-2312.

Now that I have mastered the art of pickling eggs and keep them in my fridge pretty regularly, I decided to make pickled deviled eggs with my latest batch! Deviled eggs are like bacon in the sense that I’m pretty sure everyone is obsessed.
To pickle the eggs, I used a recipe from the LA Times, inspired by the famous Philippe’s The Original, in downtown Los Angeles. Phillipe’s is so nostalgic to me. My father has been taking me there since I was a baby. I love waiting in line, with the sawdust on the floor, for our turn to order our french dip sandwiches and pile of sliced pickled eggs.
6 hard-boiled eggs, shelled
3/4 cup juice drained from canned or cooked beets
1/2 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup vinegar
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon allspice
3/4 teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
Place eggs in quart jar. Combine beet juice, wine, vinegar, bay leaf, allspice, salt, pepper and garlic in saucepan. Heat but do not allow to boil. Pour hot liquid over eggs. Cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight or longer, if desired. Makes 6 eggs.
I made my eggs on a Wednesday and deviled on a Friday. I prefer them to pickle a bit longer but I just couldn’t wait. Follow any traditional deviled egg recipe you like, but don’t forget the Bubbies Pickles Kosher Dill juice.
Pickled Deviled Eggs: Makes 6 eggs
3 T Mayo
1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 T Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickle Juice
S & P to taste
Paprika to garnish
Chives to garnish
Slice your pickled eggs in half and empty yolks into a bowl. Mix yolk, mayo, mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Put mixture into a pastry bag (or use a plastic bag and cut the tip off) and squeeze into pickled egg halves. Garnish with paprika and chives!

Where do you get your news?Attorney General Kane claims the lottery contract is "unconstitutional", yet offers no basis for her claim.
An amateur clearly over her head.
Gov. Tom Corbett's contract privatizing management of the Pennsylvania Lottery is illegal, Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Thursday.
The administration overstepped the executive branch powers under the state Constitution by skirting the Legislature and awarding the contract to British-based Camelot Global Services, she said.
Sounds like a basis to me.

Opportunities in Welding
SOURCES: Weldingschool.com, WeldingSchoolGuide.com, & AWS/American Welding Society (See links below.)
Opportunities for welders exist in any industry that creates goods and structures from metal. It takes highly skilled welders to turn ideas and materials into valuable products. To become a skilled welder requires mechanical aptitude or a strong foundation in math, science, and technology.
Jobs for welders are projected to grow by 4% through 2024. Out of the 397,900 welders employed by industry today, the average age is 55. The American Welding Society predicts that by 2025, the country will face a shortage of as many as 400,000 welding operators.
There are numerous welding careers to choose from, with jobs available in:
- Oil and Gas/Pipeline
- Automotive & AutoSports
- Many others, including Art & Design
Wages for Welders
- 90% of Welders: $51,610
- Median Wage: $34.410
- 10% of Welders: $22,680
Though, the top careers in welding can earn double, triple, or more than the average salaries. Highly skilled welders that are willing to travel and/or work in hazardous conditions can earn well over $100,000 a year.
- Traveling Industrial Pipe Welders: $50,000 – $185,000
- Under Water Welders: $100,000 – $200,000
- Military Support Welders: $160,000 – $200,000
The Future in Welding
The welders of the future will increasingly utilize high-tech skills for the operation of robots and other automated systems that incorporate laser and electron beams for metal bonding. “Welding will increasingly offer career opportunities for students interested in materials engineering, robotics, lasers, computer programming and systems integration,” says Patricio Mendez, Director of the Canadian Center for Welding and Joining at the University of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada.

Courts Can't Agree If Climate Change A State Or Federal Issue
According to Daniel Jay Cameron's opinion article for Fox News, the U.S. Supreme Court has maintained for years "that lawsuits over air (and water) pollution that crosses state lines must be decided under federal law."
This is to make sure that overreaching states and cities cannot impose their will on territory that does not belong to them.
However, little things like the difference between legal and illegal have never dissuaded liberals from trying to get whatever they want.
Climate change lawsuits are currently pending in states across the country, such as Rhode Island New York, Maryland, Washington, California and Hawaii.
Cameron is calling these lawsuits undisguised "lawfare," meant to accomplish across the nation what liberals weren't able to get done at the federal ballot box.
This whole ordeal is just more proof that liberals are only interested in what's best for them, like expanding their control.
Whether it's in regard to the climate, taxes, war, the economy, whatever, liberals ALWAYS have their best interests at heart. Never yours.
This proves it yet again.

With the state about to slash $4 million from the Worcester State College budget, and amid rising fees and cutbacks in student services, President Janelle C. Ashley doled out raises of up to 15 percent to 28 administrators, including an $11,414 pay hike to her executive assistant, who now makes $87,542.
Ms. Ashley ordered the raises for the nonunion personnel in August and made them retroactive to July, angering the college faculty union, whose members have been working without a contract and raises since July 2007.
“Many college presidents chose to withhold raises because contracts with the unions had not been settled, but Janelle Ashley went ahead when she got her state money and disbursed it right away,” Anne M. Falke, president of the Worcester State professors union, said yesterday.
“She had to have known there were budget problems,” Ms. Falke said. “This is not a new issue. Any argument that they didn’t know, doesn’t wash.”
Two months after Ms. Ashley distributed the raises, Gov. Deval L. Patrick imposed an across-the-board 5 percent cut on the budgets of state colleges and universities and the University of Massachusetts system, including Worcester State.
Local union officials discovered the extent of the administration raises this week after they obtained college payroll records under the state public records law.
Those records show 22 administrators received raises, but the college administration yesterday provided the Telegram & Gazette with a list that included six others who received raises. The percentage increase of those additional half-dozen pay hikes could not be determined because the employees’ 2007-2008 salaries were not included.
Some 60 professors met with Ms. Ashley and a group of senior administrators Tuesday seeking an explanation for the raises at a time when student tutoring and reading services are being cut back, many open faculty jobs are being left unfilled and lesser-qualified adjunct instructors are increasingly being used in classrooms, according to Ms. Falke.
Many of the faculty members were not satisfied when Ms. Ashley told them that the raises were based on “equity,” or bringing the management salaries to par with others in the field, she said.
In an interview yesterday, Ms. Ashley said she sympathized with the disgruntled faculty members and suggested that opportunities for advancement do exist at the college.
Ms. Falke, a chemistry professor, said she was surprised when she analyzed the raises that several employees received, including the 15 percent hike awarded Ms. Ashley’s assistant, Judith St. Amand. One vice president got an 8.3-percent raise; three employees got 6 percent increases; one received 5.3 percent; and 11 others were given 4 percent or more.
“I was stunned. I was frustrated. I was angry,” Ms. Falke said.
The 150 members of the professors union, which also represents some librarians, got raises of about 3.5 percent in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Ms. Ashley said she was aware that the state was facing fiscal problems, but did not know when she authorized the raises that the governor was going to cut higher education funding. The biggest raises went to four administrators who have assumed more responsibilities.
Calling the raises “performance-based salary adjustments,” Ms. Ashley said that many of the other nonunion employees who saw their salaries go up had been paid less than administrators in comparable jobs here and in other states.
“The increase in the salary here was previous to any of the cuts in the budget,” she said. “Certainly you look at the paper and you hear everything on that (the economy), but we felt that at this time, this was the thing we needed to do.”
Ms. Ashley defended the pay boost she gave to her assistant, noting that Ms. St. Amand has worked at the college since 1970 and is well-qualified for the position. Ms. St. Amand reports directly to the president, acts as her liaison to the college trustees and represents Ms. Ashley on various internal boards as well as acting as a link to the outside world, she said.
“She does everything. I’ll tell you that,” Ms. Ashley said. “She’s indispensable.”
However, Ms. Falke pointed out that Ms. St. Amand’s salary is higher than that of some senior professors with doctorates.
The union leader maintained that the professors, who are now in contract negotiations with the college, have accepted the harsh reality of economic circumstances that have forced many government agencies and private companies to freeze and cut pay and lay off employees.
“I’m not complaining about not getting anything this year,” Ms. Falke said. “I’m grateful we have pretty secure jobs.”
Laura Losi, a Worcester State senior who co-wrote a story on the pay raises that appeared in the student newspaper in March, said she believes the raises were harmful to the school.
“I wanted to expose a financial decision that was detrimental to the student body as a whole, while only benefiting a select few,” she said yesterday. An English major, her story was co-written with Jacqueline Morrill, The Student Voice editor.

GM has already made significant progress merging dealers for its Buick, Pontiac and GMC, and the next phase will be to restructure the retail network for the Cadillac, Hummer and Saab brands. Speaking with Reuters, Wagoner said GM wants to “run a little harder at the luxury side.”
Wagoner admits many of GM’s products overlap but instead of reducing the number of models and brands, officials want to focus on restructuring the retail sales network around them. But the process is going to take time. GM's ongoing overhaul of the Buick, Pontiac and GMC sales network, for instance, has taken about five years and according to Wagoner planners are just at the beginning of a similar consolidation for the luxury brands.

Nissan Terrano Overview
Nissan has launched the facelift Terrano in India today. The updated SUV gets minimal changes to the exterior while inside is where one will find the maximum number of changes. The Terrano was launched in India back in 2013 and based on the same platform which Renault uses to underpin their Duster SUV as well. The updated Terrano get 22 brand new features which have been provided to strengthen the SUV’s smarter and bolder appeal to customers. View offers on Nissan Cars from Nissan dealers in Hyderabad at Autozhop
Nissan says that the SUV will compliment the lifestyle of today’s Indian customers. The updated Terrano although does not get any mechanical upgrades to its engine. It still continues with the same 1.6-litre petrol and the 1.5 Litre diesel unit. Transmission option for the facelift car includes a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual and a six speed automated manual which is made available only with the more potent diesel variant.
Nissan Terrano Exterior
The Terrano comes out as a sturdy and macho looking SUV. The flares and bulges throughout make it a masculine looking SUV. The EcoSport comparatively has got mixed reactions in terms of its looks as some feel it looks very modern while other like the same. The Terrano looks very no non sense type and also displays loads of character.
See it from the front quarter view, and the aggression on the face is visible. Thanks to Nissan Pathfinder to share its looks with this young sibling, the Terrano ends up looking like the next generation of compact SUVs from Nissan. The heavy on chrome radiator grille with the vertical stacks don’t go overboard. Even the detailing on the headlight is very impressive by dividing it into four different sections. The more premium variants get lower bash plates on the front bumper which makes it look rugged.
The side profile unfortunately does not get any changes. It has a ground clearance of 205mm and is 4331mm in length. The ORVMs are finished in body colors. The B and C pillar are very neatly camouflaged in a matte black finish. We totally like the shape of the rear quarter panel. What scores even more in the Terrano are the wheel cap and alloy wheel design. Both of them look very sporty and way better.
Rear quarter view of the Terrano highlights the flares on the rear wheel arch as well as the dollop of the muscle under the rear quarter glass. The roof rails add to the overall SUV appeal.The rear profile remains similar except for the tail lamp design which may not be very attractive but nor does it spoil the design. The model name is very neatly displayed on the bottom left while the Nissan logo sits firmly above. Even though the difference is minimal, the Terrano scores more than the Duster.
Nissan Terrano Interior
The Nissan Terrano has comfortable ingress and egress. Once you enter the cabin, the beige treatment of interiors gives a good sense of space. Nissan has spruced up the dashboard layout, which feels slightly more premium than the Duster. The storage space on top of the dashboard has been covered now with a lid and the centre AC vents get rectangular in shape with chrome outlining. The instrument cluster covering has a rounded panel and the steering wheel remains the same that gets a rebadged horn pad with silver accents. The centre console is restyled with vertical silver panels running on the sides and piano black panels surrounding the new multimedia system.
These additional embellishments make the interior styling a bit more attractive than the Duster. Quality of the materials used and the fit and finish is exactly the same again, which is much better than the competition but doesn’t feel as premium as a car in this price bracket should feel. The base XE trim comes with black interior, while the rest get beige interior. Colour combination used in the Terrano gels nicely and looks tastefully done, thanks to the piano black finishing. The air conditioning is effective and the vents provide thick flow of air. Everything falls under reach and most of the controls are convenient to use apart from the mirror adjustment control that is placed under the handbrake lever. You will also miss the dead pedal to rest your foot on long drives. Nissan should have addressed the minor ergonomic issues which customers of the Duster have been complaining about since quite some time now.
The door pockets are deep enough to accommodate 1-litre bottles and there is enough spread of cup holders and small storage elements to keep knick knacks. Cabin space needs a special mention here, as there is ample space in both the rows as well as the boot. The seats are sufficiently supportive but lacking a bit of under-thigh support. The 475-litre boot space is practical with a convenient loading lip that can accommodate a good load of luggage. Some of the safety and convenience features offered in the Terrano include dual airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, fog lamps, reverse parking sensors, rear AC, double-din audio system with CD/MP3, USB, AUX and Bluetooth connectivity. Shockingly the steering mounted audio controls found on the Duster are not offered on the Terrano.
Nissan Terrano Performance
The Terrano comes in three different engine trims which include one petrol and two diesel. The specifications remain identical to that of the Duster. The 1598cc petrol engine churns out 104PS at 5850 rpm and a torque of 145 Nm at 3750 rpm. It has a 5 speed manual transmission and Nissan claims a mileage of 13.2 Kmpl.The petrol engine is smooth and not very audible. The 1.6L petrol engine seems perfect for city commute as it does not offer any kick as such but then in traffic conditions it is at its best. The gear shifts feel a bit notchy and can be bettered with a smoother shift movement.
This is not a typical rev friendly petrol engine as it feels underpowered at lower engine speeds. As the engine speed is raised, it gets more audible but then the lag in the delivery also gets very evident. Also, the petrol version gets Hydraulic power assisted steering. It delivered a mileage of 9.5 kmpl.The 1.5L lower spec diesel engine produces 85PS at 3750 rpm and a torque of 200 Nm at 1900 rpm. This engine is also equipped with a 5 speed manual transmission. The prime reason for having a lower spec diesel engine is for the mileage friendly consumers. This one being a diesel feels nice on torque.
This engine too has a lag but then it being a diesel unit tries to overcome it. It takes serious effort to make the vehicle reach higher speeds. The steering is very active in giving feedback and sometimes it gets a little too aggressive. Overtaking in a fully loaded condition is a stress as the notchy gears and the lag in the engine make it very difficult. This one scored more on mileage compared to the other two at 15 Kmpl After trying both the underpowered variants, it was finally time for me to drive the 110PS version. This remains my favorite with its superb power delivery. It produces a power of 110PS at 3900 rpm and a torque of 248 Nm at 2250 rpm. It also comes with a 6 speed manual transmission.
Crank it up and it feels the same until you shift it to the first gear. Cross 1700 rpm and the engine feels very much in control. The torque delivery is fantastic when it comes to the 110 PS model. In fact, I find this engine more athletic compared to that of the EcoSport in terms of sheer drive feel.
Nissan Terrano Driving
This is where the Nissan Terrano and Duster are identical. The overwhelming impression is that of a softly sprung front-drive car, with understeer when pushed beyond its limits. There is, at the same time, the impression that the suspension will cope with anything you throw at it, and this belief is justified when you put it through potholes, over speedbreakers and unpaved roads without slowing down, and there isn’t so much as loss of alignment. There is no wallowing at triple-digit speeds, either – something we otherwise take for granted with an SUV at this price point.
The brakes are solid discs in front and drums at the rear equipped with ABS and EBD for all but the base diesel variant. Thanks to the Terrano’s low kerb weight, they are enough to haul the vehicle to a halt from crazy speeds repeatedly without fade. Both bite and progression are good and inspire confidence. The Terrano has possibly the best ride and handling compromise for Indian conditions, with its predictable handling and 205mm ground clearance. It’s a pity that the four-wheel drive version isn’t on the cards for India, it would have made an interesting alternative to the established all-wheel drive SUVs around its price point. Tyres are a choice between Apollo Hawkz and MRF Wanderers, and these provide good grip both on and off-road, though they will not be able to do any serious work off the beaten path.
Nissan Terrano Safety
Nissan Terrano boasts of a staunch and robust braking system. The front wheels of the compact SUV are incorporated with discs which make braking deft. While the front axle of the SUV has an independent McPherson strut type of mechanism with a coil spring and also a highly advanced anti-roll bar; the rear axle gets a torsion beam axle along with coil springs and a similar anti-roll bar for enhanced comfort for the rear passengers. Both these systems put together ensure that the passengers as well as the SUV are stable at all times. The top-end versions of the Terrano are equipped with the sophisticated Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) along with electronic brake force distribution technology, coupled with brake assist and a stability control module to further upgrade the braking mechanism of the SUV. Other safety features comprise of an engine immobilizer, central locking, driver seat belt reminder, doors-not-well-closed reminder, rear defogger, reverse parking sensor and a heated tailgate glass warning light.
Nissan has given considerable attention to the safety aspect of the Terrano. The steering wheel is tilt-adjustable and the power steering is highly responsive to aid manoeuvring of the SUV. The front fog lamps and a rear defogger along with a wash-&-wipe function incorporated in the rear wind screen, helps in giving better visibility in rainy and overcast conditions. The fog lamps also enhance the visibility of the vehicle.

Nissan Terrano Bottomline
The Terrano is a genuinely nice car, and I do want to like it. However, it is missing some essential features that have been mentioned already. With the new Micra I thought that Nissan India had learned that the market will respond well to value – but according to the Renault-Nissan agreement, the donor car will always cost less than its twin. This means that the Duster will cost less than the Terrano, and this puts the top-spec Terrano between Rs 1-1.5 lakh over the top-spec Duster. That’s a staggering Rs 16.5-17 lakh on-road for great engineering but an incomplete feature set. The Duster filled in a gap in the Indian marketplace and it sold well as long as there weren’t options. The Terrano will enter the market with competition like the Duster itself and the Ford EcoSport. Will Nissan have a surprise in store for us like they did with the pricing of the new Micra? I certainly hope they do.

William Patrick “Willy” Stuart-Houston, born Hitler enlisted and fought in World War II with the USA forces .
William Patrick “Willy” Stuart-Houston born Hitler on 12 March 1911 was the nephew of Adolf Hitler. Born to Adolf’s half-brother, Alois Hitler, J., and his first wife, Bridget Dowling in Liverpool, Lancashire, They met in Dublin when Alois was living there in 1909; they married in Marlebone in London and moved back north to Liverpool, where William was born in 1911.
In 1914, Alois left Bridget and their son for a gambling tour of Europe. Alois later returned to Germany. Unable to reconnect due to the outbreak of World War i, Alois abandoned the family, leaving William to be brought up by his mother. He remarried bigamously, but re-established contact in the mid-1920s when he wrote to Bridget asking her to send William to Germany’s Weimar Republic for a visit. She finally agreed in 1929, when William was 18. Alois had since had another son by his German wife, Heinz Hitler, who, in contrast to William, became a committed Nazi and in 1942 died in Soviet captivity.
The nephew of Adolf Hitler joined the U.S. Navy in 1944 after imploring then President Franklin D. Roosevelt to allow him to help fight the “devilish and pagan” Nazi regime led by his uncle, a letter reveals.
In the letter, written in 1942, William Patrick Hitler begs President Roosevelt to reconsider an earlier denial to join the U.S. Forces, saying “All my relatives and friends soon will be marching for freedom and decency under the Stars and Stripes … I am respectfully submitting this petition to you to enquirer as to whether I may be allowed to join them in their struggle against tyranny and oppression?”
William Hitler fled Nazi German in 1939, first arriving in Britain. In 1940, the same year Adolf Hitler established the Auschwitz concentration camp and invaded France, his nephew moved to New York City and began his campaign to join the Allied forces. Describing his “difficult and singular situation” as the “nephew and only descendant” of the German leader, William Hitler told Roosevelt “I am one of many, but I can render service to this great cause.” He also outlined his previous attempts to thwart his uncle’s despotic aims.
William Patrick Hitler is sworn into the U.S. Navy March 6, 1944, by Lieutenant Christian Christofferson
in New York City. “As a fugitive from the Gestapo I warned France through the press that Hitler would invade her that year. The people of England I warned by the same means that the so-called “solution” of Munich was a myth that would bring terrible consequences,” the letter said.
So determined was William Hitler to join an Allied army, he also told FDR he attempted to join the British armed forces and was considering an attempt to join Canada’s military. William Hitler described his uncle as a “Frankenstein” seeking to enslave the world under “a devilish and pagan regime.”
According to historians, there was no love lost among the Hitler men. William was the son of Adolf’s half-brother, Alois, but Uncle Adolf referred to William as “my loathsome nephew.”
After leaving the Navy, William Hitler changed his surname to Stuart-Houston; some have commented on its similarity with the name of the British anti-Semitic writer Houston Stewart Chamberlain. Stuart-Houston married Phyllis Jean-Jacques, who was born in Germany in the mid-1920s, she died in 2004. After their relationship began, William, Phyllis, and Bridget tried for some anonymity in the United States. They married in 1947 and had their first child, Alexander Adolf, in 1949. They had three more sons: Louis (b. 1951), Howard Ronald (1957-1989), and Brian William (b. 1965).
William Stuart-Houston died on July 14, 1987, age 76, in Patchoque, His remains were buried next to his mother’s, at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram, New York. Phyllis died on November 2, 2004.

Opinion piece by Dr Clayton Peel
The uptake of reporting and storytelling by readers – including uploading first-on- the-scene video footage of events – is a by- product of postmodern technologies being easily accessible to users outside the field of professional newsgatherers. Concurrently, these emerging technologies have been faulted for increasing the likelihood of distorted information, of publishing the previously unpublishable (mutilated bodies of crash victims, etc.) and other digital malpractices that have given weight to data security fears.
We used to belong to a profession that created content which was taken as a matter of record. You would take it as a firm truth that Yaoundé is the capital city of Cameroon because you read so in a newspaper. And, in the event that any information was inaccurate, it would be corrected as soon as the error was pointed out. But now, the digital media has given us a space that is contested. Owners of online platforms no longer feel compelled to correct misinterpretations and falsehoods. Believe them if you want, or go somewhere else, is the attitude.
In light of World Press Freedom Day, Prof Admire Mare, Deputy Head of the Department of Communication, delivered a public lecture titled ‘Taking stock of the impact of digitisation on the Namibian Media Landscape’. He argued that the media landscape in Namibia has been affected by the on-going economic recession, technological disruption and the COVID-19 pandemic. These interrelated crises have complicated the financial sustainability of media organisations in Namibia and beyond. The Covid-19 pandemic has escalated the crisis in journalism as newsrooms are surviving on shoestring budgets, salary and staff rationalisation, falling sales revenue and decreasing circulation figures.
Prof Mare made a case for recalibrated media business models that go beyond an overreliance on the placement of advertisements on their traditional media platforms. He encouraged media managers and entrepreneurs to experiment with various revenue generation models such as memberships, subscriptions, pay walls, donations and so forth.
He also observed that media consumption patterns have changed. Most young media consumers are opting to consume content online, while traditional media companies are still packaging their content in analogue formats. This mismatch has complicated media consumption patterns and trends in Namibia. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced media organisations to ‘leapfrog’ the analogue era by embracing innovative digital products like live streams, e-papers, WhatsApp friendly media products and podcasts.
His public lecture also emphasised the idea that quality journalism and investigative reporting will not die since they are essential for democratic practices. In addition, Prof Mare stated that technological disruptions will continue to affect journalism in its various manifestations, but journalism will find ways to adapt and reconfigure itself.

NUST ACADEMICS PRESENT PAPERS
Dr Chudey Pride, a Senior Lecturer of NUST in the Department of Communication, and his co-author, Abdulganiyu Omotosho Issa from the University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, presented their paper titled “Exploring the impact of state-oriented communication technology surveillance and censorship on Journalists’ works, safety, and democratic freedoms in Africa” in the Academic Conference of the World Press Freedom Day on 29 April 2021.
Their research explored the growing incidents of surveillance technologies and censorship of the press, the impact and constraints on journalistic freedom, and journalism and democratic freedoms in Africa
Their paper, presented by Dr Pride, observed that digital communication technologies and platforms have brought significant challenges of censorship and surveillance against journalists in many parts of Africa, with a wide array of interventions and measures to shape the activity of journalists. The research identified ten countries across Africa’s cardinal points that “have entrenched measures and controls of online activities of journalists and citizens including use of censorship which two forms are preventive and punitive censorships. These countries include Cameroun, Benin Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Rwanda and Nigeria.”
The researchers noted that these control measures point to resurgence of authoritarianism “manifesting in the unfettered control and monitoring of online communication of journalists, individuals, groups, mass media and social media platforms by various governments in Africa.” They expressed concerns that “state-oriented technology surveillance and censorship negate democratic freedoms and values” and noted that Africa, her media and her people, are inching towards totalitarian control of freedom of expression, especially with draconian acts, laws and proclamations by her governments.
During the same event, Prof Admire Mare and Dr Phillip Santos presented a paper, which examined the risks faced by Southern African journalists during COVID-19 and the ways in which news organisations in the region had responded to these risks.
They argued that a complex cocktail of safety threats faced by journalists in their line of duty, by extension, threatens the very fabric of democratic societies and, therefore, must be understood and addressed in a profound way.

YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FORUM
While this solemn occasion of World Press Freedom Day was going on, the European Union also ran a number of activities in commemoration of Europe Day.
NUST hosted the Youth Opportunity Forum, themed Youth Resilience, Innovation and Networking during COVID-19.
NUST Senior Lecturer of the Department of Communication, Dr Phillip Santos, presented on the topic “The Will to Commune”, focusing on how youth drew on digital solutions to negotiate the social atomisation brought about by COVID-19 induced restrictions.
During his presentation, Dr Santos argued that before one can concern oneself with young people as innovators, it is imperative to see them as human beings who need to be socio-psychologically healthy before they can assume any responsibilities as technological innovators.
He outlined some of the ways in which young people had nativised socio-technological spaces to reclaim the experience of community, which the COVID-19 had effectively emasculated. For instance, young people connect and socialise through gaming communities, interact through platforms such as club houses and online workshops, participate in digital activism in pursuit of social justice, share digital experiential diaries and participate in live music shows.


FOSTORIA Two people were injured in a fire Sunday that heavily damaged a house on East Fremont Street, according to the city fire department.
Capt. Jim Walters said crews were called to the residence at 319 East Fremont at 9:11 a.m. and found flames in the kitchen. The blaze, which investigators have ruled accidental, was caused by food left cooking unattended, Captain Walters said. Damage was estimated at $50,000.
The home, owned by HJC Leasing, was occupied by Janet Caskey, Debra Ridenhour, and Herman Clouse, Captain Walters said. One of the occupants suffered burns on both arms and was treated in Fostoria Community Hospital, and another occupant suffered a foot burn and refused treatment, he said. The captain declined to identify which of the two residents were hurt.

Toonz Media Group, celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, opens the 2019 edition of its weekend Animation Masters Summit (AMS) at the TechnoPark Campus in Trivandrum, Kerala in Southern India, with special guests Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford, British Deputy High Commissioner, Chennai, India. This year’s edition honors two new Masters for their contribution to the world of animation: Anu Sikka, Head of Content, Kids Entertainment Cluster, Nickelodeon India and Viacom 18, and Professor Raman Lal Mistry, Animation Guru and celebrated film designer.
Established as the first ever animation event in India in 1999, the AMS celebrates the “Art of Animation” by bringing together experts and leading figures from the global animation industry to interact with aspiring artists and creative talents, and for masters to showcase their work to animation professionals, entrepreneurs and the media, sharing their knowledge, experiences, insights and inspirations. The theme at this year’s AMS is Connecting Content: Seeing the Big Picture.
In his opening speech Friday in front of 450 industry professionals, Toonz Media Group CEO P. Jayakumar declared, “The Animation Masters Summit is an integral part of Toonz’s legacy and commitment to celebrate the art of animation,” adding, “the importance of working to build engaging experiences to connect with kids.”
Anu Sikka, Head of Content, Kids Entertainment Cluster, Nickelodeon India and Viacom18, received the Jury Award for Outstanding Contribution to Indian Animation. Sikka has made a very large impact on all areas of kids’ entertainment, with her untiring passion and professionalism both for the Indian animation industry as well as Indian children across the continent. She laid the foundations for localizing content, creating a wave of interest that sparked both creativity and content creation, greenlighting evergreen content such as Pakdam Pakdai, also known as Rat-A-Tat and produced by Toonz, which is still being produced and broadcast both in India and around the world.
Receiving the Legend of Animation Award, Professor Raman Lal Mistry, Animation Guru and film designer who is credited for creating the logo of the first ever Indian animation channel, Doordarshan, is a legend in the Indian animation industry. With his unique style of drawing, he has inspired artists and talents across India over the decades and has set himself as a pioneer of animation education in India, helping nurture the talent of future generations in industry.
Master sessions over the two days of the AMS include:
- Christian Schneider, CEO of Gummybear International Inc, and the creator of the YouTube global success song “I’m a Gummy Bear” is talking on the importance of the idea and getting it off the ground.
- Anu Sikka, Head of Content, Kids Entertainment Cluster, Nickelodeon India and Viacom18, on localizing content to engage and connect with your local audience.
- Debbie Sterling, Founder and CEO of the successful interactive kids’ games company Goldieblox, on reinventing girlhood and creating a 360-degree view.
- Uttam Pal Singh, head of leading kids’ channel Discovery Kids India, on connecting the creator and the audience and getting to know kids and keeping them engaged.
- Peter Dodd, writer, animation artist and director who has worked on Watership Down, Frankenweenie, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, who will discuss what it takes to build a concept into a viable project.
- Mayur Puri, screenwriter, lyricist, actor and filmmaker — and the trusted ally of Pixar, Disney and Marvel in localizing content for India — on how to localize content without losing the flavor, and how to strike the right chord.
- Vivek Ram, modelling and visual effects expert who has worked on global hits such as The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, The Incredible Hulk and Alvin and the Chipmunks, on retelling Indian mythology in a contemporary manner.
- Srinivas Mohan, visual effects supervisor with 25 years’ experience in the film industry, on the role VFX plays in the storytelling and narrative process.
Coinciding with the AMS, Toonz launched the Cocoon Concept Lab, a program to support authentic storytelling and ideas by providing individualized concept development for emerging concept creators and writers with a TV/Digital series idea or screenplay. The winning project out of 74 entries from around the world will be announced at Animation Masters Summit this weekend and will be taken to the international market to develop further under the Toonz banner.

Being and making Disciples
“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
So there we have it. The words of Jesus that announce what has come to be known as “The Great Commission”. Our marching orders as Jesus followers and disciples.a
i wonder if the disciples were afraid that day? Did they secretly wonder if they had what it would take? Did they wish they could wait for just a bit longer, until they were certain they had the right words to say, enough time to commit, the knowledge, the energy. Did they secretly wish for a vision that was more concrete and strategic? Within their hearts were any of them wondering, ” But hold on Jesus! Go where?! Where do we start exactly?!”
I think when it comes to disciple making we often have the very same questions and doubts in our minds. But Jesus has given us answers to these questions and directions for how to begin. He has provided all we need to follow His lead. The first thing we need to do is remember that it is not arguments and brilliant proof texting that calls people into the Kingdom of God. It is love. We can let go of the fear that that our knowledge of scripture isn’t strong enough.
It is love for the people Jesus has deliberately placed in our lives and on our paths,that draws people into a relationship with Jesus.
So where do we start?
We start first with ourselves by working on our own characters. Jesus said he needs his followers to be salt and light in the world. He tells us that when people are around us they should know by what they see that we are people whose lives are worth imitating. People whose characters are above reproach. People who behave the same when no one is looking as we do in front of a crowd. We get these imitatable lives by surrendering to God daily. By working through His power and not our own.
Next, we open up our lives to the people around us. We make ourselves accessible to the people God has placed in our paths. Discipleship can’t happen from a distance. It happens from the context of a relationship.
So look around you. Do you have people in your life who need the love of Jesus? They may be your neighbors, your friends, family, co-workers. They may be the person who pours your coffee each morning at your local coffee shop. Let them see for themselves what God has done in your life.
