Arnie in the Cast, Money in the Bank?
By Ronald Grover
Arnold and Maria probably weren't the only ones doing high-fives when the California election returns came streaming in on Oct. 7. Billionaire Phil Anschutz was no doubt doing his own victory lap in Denver. The press-shy dealmaker who made his fortune in railroads, telecommunications, and most recently the movie-theater business had made one of Hollywood's most outrageous bets -- and Schwarzenegger's victory just may help it pay off.
Anschutz spent $105 million to make a film based on Jules Verne's 1872 novel Around the World in 80 Days through Walden Media, which is a unit of Anschutz Co. The film, which stars Jackie Chan and British comedian Steve Coogan as two travelers seeking to circle the globe in two short months and 20 days, just happens to feature one Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Indeed, this movie could mark the last time the muscled actor will be seen on the big screen -- for some time to come at least. "It's somewhere between a cameo and a featured role," says Walden CEO Cary Granat of Schwarzenegger's part, a Turkish prince the travelers meet somewhere along the way.
If the Terminator as Turkish royalty sounds like a stretch, how about this: Unlike other film-production companies, which line up a U.S. studio to distribute -- and help pay for -- its films, this big-budget extravaganza was funded out of Anschutz' own pocket, a spokesperson confirms. But that's soon to change, says Granat. The film is now being edited, and according to the Walden CEO, already plenty of studios are interested.
He credits the fact that the film, which Walden is shooting for a PG rating, is the kind of family fare that has found an audience in recent hits like the Harry Potter series. And several of the studios don't have a major production on next summer's schedule yet. This could fit the bill. As for Schwarzenegger being in it -- well, that can't hurt. If it was a plus before, it's a big bonus now.
That's a nice turnaround for Anschutz from a few months back, when no one in Hollywood seemed eager to take on the flick. Earlier, Paramount Pictures (VIA ) had problems with the film and backed out, leaving Anschutz to foot the entire bill -- unthinkable in a town where no one uses his own money. At the time, Paramount was said to be expecting stars like Hugh Grant and Adam Sandler to play small roles. Didn't happen. Walden says only that there were "creative differences" and that those two actors were never signed up.
Now, says Granat, the production has recouped about 60% of its funding from overseas distributors. It still needs a large U.S. distributor, as much to help pay off the rest of Anschutz' advance as to provide the $50 million or so in advertising that will be needed to make it a hit. A Paramount spokeswoman says the studio is interested in talking with Walden now that the project is complete. And Granat says he's certain to show it to Disney (DIS ), the studio for which Walden made this year's kiddie hit, Holes, as well as to all the other major studios.
Why did Schwarzenegger say, "I'll be the Turk"? He says he was talked into playing the character of Prince Hapi by fellow action star Jackie Chan. It didn't hurt that Around the World's producer, Hal Lieberman, also happened to have produced Schwarzenegger's last starring film, Terminator 3. So in July, a few weeks before announcing his gubernatorial ambitions, the actor flew to Berlin for a few days of shooting.
He won't be alone as a cameo. The movie also has walk-on roles for Kathy Bates as Queen Victoria and brothers Luke and Owen Wilson as Orville and Wilbur Wright. Virgin Air founder Richard Branson has a small role, as do John Cleese and Rob Schneider.
So assuming a studio picks up Around the World -- and I'm betting one will -- that raises an entirely different issue. You know that Schwarzenegger's face will be plastered all over the movie's promotional material -- his small role notwithstanding. But can Walden count on the governor to plug his latest movie? You might think he'll be too busy balancing California's budget and solving the electricity crisis (see BW, 10/27/03, "Choose Your Weapon, Arnold").
Then again, this is the guy who announced his candidacy on The Tonight Show. A premiere in Sacramento? Don't rule it out.

Where Bodies Lie by D.K. Greene is a Mystery and Suspense Festival pick #suspense #giveaway
Title: Where Bodies Lie
Author: D.K. Greene
Genre: Psychological Suspense / Serial Killer fiction
For most, family is a blessing. For others, it’s a fatal curse.
Peter Wilson is as ordinary as they come. A mid-level worker with a first-floor apartment and no vices to speak of, he’s the picture of wholesome living.
Below the surface, he hides a dangerous secret.
When two F.B.I. agents arrive on his doorstep, the carefully constructed threads of his mysterious past life unravel. It’s time for Peter to face the truth… he’s an accessory to murder.
Putting off retirement, Inspector Douglas resolves to finish the work he started on The Godless Killer early in his career. He’s struck a deal with Oliver Roberts. The ruthless murderer will give up the locations of bodies he’s hidden. But he’ll only share the details with one person…
His son, who went into hiding after Roberts’ arrest.
To bring closure to grieving families, Peter must reconnect with his father. Rekindling their relationship will awaken a monster and bring a grim truth to light…
Blood is thicker than water.
Peter slides the chain off and opens the door so his uninvited visitors can enter. They stop in the middle of the living room and Inspector Douglas turns in a slow circle while he takes it all in. “Wow, Henry. You’ve got a nice place.”
“Thanks. But again, call me Peter.” He closes the door but leaves it unlocked in case anyone needs to make a hasty exit. He moves to set the Bible down on the coffee table, keeping it within arm’s reach. “What are you doing here?”
“Mind if I sit?” Dougy doesn’t wait for an answer. He takes the folder from his partner and sits square in the middle of the couch, dropping the binder on top of the Bible. He leans into the cushions, arms draped across the back of the sofa, and crosses his legs.
Special Agent Jones moves toward the hallway. “You here alone?”
“Yeah,” Peter answers nervously. “Why?”
“I need to powder my nose.” She points toward the back of the apartment. “Bathroom?”
Peter nods. He still hasn’t put away his nose hair clippers and sucks in a panicked breath of air as she pushes the restroom door open.
“Say, Henry. Do you mind if I have a glass of water? It’s been a long day.” Inspector Douglas lifts his bushy eyebrows and tilts his head toward the kitchen.
The other agent still hasn’t entered the bathroom. She stands in the hallway, watching him with an intense stare that sends a shiver down his spine. To avoid her gaze, he moves into the next room to retrieve a glass for Dougy. The inspector talks as soon as the faucet turns on, and Peter can’t make out any of what he says. Peter yells around the corner to stop Dougy’s chatter. “Just one second…”
When he returns to the living room, Peter finds Dougy in the same position as before. Though it doesn’t look like he’s moved a muscle, the binder is open, and papers are arranged in neat piles across the coffee table. Peter hands him the glass of water, checking the dim hallway for signs of the inspector’s partner. The bathroom door is closed.
Peter shifts his gaze to Dougy without looking at the photos. He’s seen the suspected victims dozens of times over the years. A menagerie of family portraits and studio headshots have come and gone on the news and in the papers for two decades. Peter even watched a documentary last year about The Godless Killer. The director had run trails of red string from the photos to maps, to newspaper clippings, and back again like some conspiracy theorist.
“I spoke to Oliver.” Inspector Douglas takes a sip of water, then sets the glass on a stack of papers. He picks up a photo and offers it to Peter, as if he hasn’t already memorized the woman’s auburn hair and broody eyes.
Peter hears water running in the bathroom. He wonders how long it will take Special Agent Jones to catalog his collection of antidepressants and anti-anxiety pills. He concentrates on looking out the window as a neighbor passes by without waving. “I thought he was still giving everyone the silent treatment.”
Inspector Douglas lets out a low chuckle. He still proffers the photo. “He had been. But suddenly, last week, he decided he wanted to have a conversation. You know how he is. When he wants something, it’s hard to say no.”
“Harder for some than others.” Peter rubs a clammy hand across the back of his sweating neck.
“Yeah, I guess.” The inspector struggles up from the couch, then takes a few steps to close the gap between them. He pushes the photograph into Peter’s line of sight, forcing him to look at the portrait. The woman’s straight teeth and round cheeks make her look young and alive, despite the dark rings of depression encircling her eyes. It’s a graduation photo. Peter has always wondered why she doesn’t look more excited. Maybe, somehow, she knew her time was up.
“He wants to talk about Carol. Show us where she is.”
Special Agent Jones emerges from the bathroom. She moves silently across the apartment, boxing Peter in so he can’t run away from the burning intensity of Carol’s silent stare. He can’t stand the discomfort of the missing woman looking up at him from the glossy paper. Pleading with him to do something. His eyes move to study the top right corner of the picture. It’s a faded grey, the color of a background drenched with the flash of a thousand budget graduation photos.
Peter clears the bubble of worry from his throat. “So what?”
Inspector Douglas shifts his stance. There’s a tenseness about him that makes Peter think maybe Dougy feels her haunting the room, too.
Special Agent Jones leans into Peter, looking over his shoulder at the photograph. Her voice is soft, but the words land on Peter like a ton of bricks. “He says he’ll only talk to you.”

LAHARPE — Utilities and city park equipment were front and center for much of Tuesday’s LaHarpe City Council meeting.
The Council approved a 50-cent per month increase in water meter charges for each customer, a hike that should be enough to offset a slight increase in water rates assessed to the city starting Jan. 1.
Meanwhile, the Council asked for additional information before it would reinstitute a level pay plan for utility customers.
The practice was discontinued earlier this year because the formula used for figuring monthly averages for a patron’s yearly use of utilities was inadequate.
The Council agreed, 3-2, to drop requirements that rural water districts the city serves have back-flow valves that would have prevented contaminated water from entering LaHarpe’s system in case of a line breach along their lines. Such a requirement was above and beyond what the state suggests for water districts, Mayor Mae Crowell noted. The change passed, 3-2, with Danny Ware Jr. and Sara’Nicole Prock opposed.
And in a related matter, the Council voted to reimburse Ray Maloney $1,200 for his work to install a similar valve along water lines north of LaHarpe.
The city briefly considered acquiring the water lines — prompting Maloney to install the valve — before deciding against it earlier this year.
A SPLIT Council declined to act on Prock’s proposal to purchase playground equipment for $16,937.
Prock noted the equipment — an elaborate array of colorful, twisted climbing features geared for youngsters ages 5-12 — normally sells for more than $31,000. The discounted price would expire Nov. 20.
Council members agreed to pay up to $5,000 annually for playground equipment.
Prock suggested the city should consider a lease purchase agreement, to pay for the equipment over several year, using the $5,000 stipend. She also said she would reach out to volunteers to assist with installing the equipment to save on those costs.
Prock admitted the short deadline prevented her from approaching local business owners about donations or sponsorships; likewise, it also prevented her from organizing any type of fundraisers.
Council members David Lee and Ron Knavel Sr. both said they were uncomfortable with earmarking that much money on such short notice, but were open to having a special meeting later this month if Prock could get a better handle on financing options and get a true picture of installation costs.
In a related matter, the Council agreed to install surveillance cameras at the park, if the LaHarpe PRIDE Committee agrees to split the costs.
Police Chief Jason Prock has worked with PRIDE member and LaHarpe Communications president Harry Lee Jr. on finding a camera system capable of providing coverage of the park, and recorded at a remote location.
The system would cost less than $2,000, if the city did the installation, Lee said.
The PRIDE Committee will meet Monday to vote on the proposal.
COUNCIL members also:
— Approved a new ordinance that regulates burning after sundown. Such burning is now permissible as long as it’s in a pit or enclosed device, such as a barbecue pit or chiminea. Bonfires or open burning brush piles still are prohibited after sundown.
— Approved a new ordinance giving better clarity on storing cars. The policy prohibits the long-term storage of disabled or junked vehicles, but allows exceptions for such things as antique vehicle restorations, racecars and trucks used in mud runs.
— Learned from Chief Prock that the speed limits on the streets surrounding the park have been reduced to 20 mph.

Congress Returns and Addresses Tax Bills
After a five week recess, lawmakers returned to work in September and took up several tax bills. While some tax bills moved out of committee, their ultimate passage by both the House and Senate before year-end is unclear. Congress has only a finite number of days in which to complete work on a number of tax bills, including the tax extenders, possible reforms to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and energy legislation.
The House Ways and Means Committee continues to pass permanent extensions of some of the tax extenders in stand-alone bills. In September, the Ways and Means Committee approved five tax measures in stand-alone bills that are typically part of an extenders package. The extenders moved by the committee include the Educator Tax Relief Bill of 2015 (HR 2940), which would make permanent the above-the-line deduction for classroom expenses of schoolteachers; the Restaurant and Retail Jobs and Growth Bill (HR 765), which would make permanent the 15-year depreciation schedule for leasehold improvements, restaurant improvements and new construction, and retail improvements; HR 2510, which would make permanent bonus depreciation; and HR 961, which would permanently extend the Subpart F exemption for active financing income.
The full House has not yet scheduled a vote on these five stand-alone bills. Earlier this year, the full House approved stand-alone bills extending permanently the state and local sales tax deduction, the research tax credit, and a handful of other extenders. The Senate has not, to date, taken up any of the House bills. The Senate Finance Committee has approved a two-year extension of many of the extenders in one bill.
At this time, Congress appears on track to extend the extenders, as in past years, in year-end legislation. Late tax legislation always makes tax planning more complex and imposes burdens on the IRS, which must reprogram its processing systems for the coming filing season to reflect the legislation. Our office will keep you posted on developments.
The ACA modified the definitions of qualified medical expenses for health flexible spending arrangements (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). As a result, only prescribed medicines or drugs (including over-the-counter medicines and drugs that are prescribed) and insulin (even if purchased without a prescription) are considered qualifying medical expenses. In September, the House Ways and Means Committee approved the Restoring Access to Medication Bill of 2015 (HR 1270). The bill would allow individuals to use health FSA, HSA and HRA dollars to purchase over-the-counter medicines.
The ACA also imposes a new excise tax on high-dollar health insurance plans (sometimes called "Cadillac plans.") Under current law, the excise tax is scheduled to begin after 2017. In September, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the House to repeal the excise tax. Prospects for repeal this year are uncertain. Although the bill could pass in the House, Democratic leaders in the Senate have not signed-on to repeal of the excise tax.
In September, Senate Democrats introduced a comprehensive energy bill with tax measures. The American Energy Innovation Act would extend and enhance some popular energy tax incentives. The bill refines the Production Tax Credit and provides that the credit would be available for 10 years after a facility is placed in service. For homeowners, the bill provides an investment tax credit for onsite power generation (such as rooftop solar or small wind turbines) as well as overhauling existing incentives. The more energy-efficient a residence is, the greater the tax credit (generally up to a maximum of $3,000). The bill also reauthorizes the advanced energy manufacturing credit and incentives for alternative fuels.
In a significant change, the bill would make oil companies generally ineligible to claim the Code Sec. 199 domestic production activities deduction. The Senate's GOP leadership has not scheduled a vote on the bill.

Regional Governance and Multiplex Networks in Environmental Sustainability: An Exponential Random Graph Model Analysis in the Chinese Local Government Context
Shen, R. (2023). Regional Governance and Multiplex Networks in Environmental Sustainability: An Exponential Random Graph Model Analysis in the Chinese Local Government Context. Urban Affairs Review. https://doi.org/10.1177/10780874231199390
Chinese city governments have collaborated increasingly to address regional environmental issues by participating in informal and formal collaborative networks. However, collaboration among cities involves collaboration risks. This study investigates how cities strategically select collaborative partners in informal and formal networks in the context of the Yangtze River Delta in China. This study addresses this question by assessing the nature of collaborative problems in the informal and formal networks, the extent of homophily in actors' preferences, and their relationship multiplexity. Findings from Exponential Random Graph Analysis demonstrate: (1) city governments tend to connect to the popular actor and create relationship closure in the informal network, while only forging relationship closure in the formal network; (2) homophily (in water pollution) and heterogeneity (in air pollution) jointly affect city governments' choices of collaborative partners in the formal network; and (3) the presence of relationship multiplexity wherein the formation of formal ties is built between city governments with pre-existing informal interactions. The findings advance our knowledge of collaborative partner selection and local collaborative governance in China.

"In the Footsteps of Our Forefathers" a film by Tenaz Dubash
In the May of 2000, thirty-six Zoroastrians from Canada, the UK and the United States made their first visit and pilgrimage to Iran, the ancient home of their religion's founder and prophet, Zoroaster. In the course of their visit, they made pilgrimages to Zoroastrian shrines and centers located in Yazd, Kerman, Shiraz and Isfahan. Tenaz Dubash chronicles the experience on film, that included visiting their kin, who have preserved their religion in its homeland, long before the birth of Christianity. Their journey included standing in the very places where their ancestors practiced their traditions and rituals thousands of years ago. Teachings that profoundly influenced the Judeo-Christian traditions. Yazd.com conducted the following online interview with Tenaz Dubash the director of the film:
Yazd.com: When did you visit Iran?
Tenaz Dubash: A group of about 36 of us visited Iran last May.
Y: What compelled you to visit?
TD: Laila Contractor, one of the tour organizers, had visited Iran a few years ago with her family. She loved Iran and was inspired to organize a similar trip, with her friend Cyrus Fatakia, for some of the young Zoroastrians in America and Canada. I, being a journalist, was very interested in going and shooting a documentary to capture our thoughts and feelings during this historical journey.
Y: Which cities did you visit in Iran?
TD: We spent about three weeks in Iran and spent time in Tehran, Shiraz, Kerman, Yazd and Isfahan. We also visited smaller Iranian towns like Chum and Sharifabad.
Y: Prior to your visit, what were your views of Iran, and how did you visualize the atmosphere, subjectively and graphically? Also how did you view Yazd?
TD: To be honest I was a little nervous when I was visiting Iran because I was not used to wearing the hejaab and more importantly, I was not used to being submissive. However, I knew that visually we were in for a treat. I had seen a lot of pictures of Persepolis and Yazd in books and was very excited to be actually going there!
Y: Which sites did you visit in Yazd?
TD: While we were in Yazd we visited the lovely little towns of Zainabad and Chum where we saw a thousand year old Cypress tree. We also visited one of our oldest Atash Behrams, or fire temples, in the city of Yazd. It was a humbling experience. We also had a chance to visit some of the beautiful shrines in the mountains like Pir-e-Herisht, Pir-e-Sabz and Pir-e-Banoo.
Y: What is the number of Zoroastrians in Iran and in Yazd?
TD: Though I cannot be sure of this, we were told that there are about 40,000 Zoroastrians in Iran altogether and about 14,000 in the city of Yazd and its surroundings.
Y: How do you view Iran now? How do you view Yazd?
TD: I feel proud and privileged to have visited Iran. I now consider Iran to be part of my personal history and the beautiful city of Yazd is a very integral part of this feeling.
Y: Which single part of your visit affects you profoundly and you remember vividly?
TD: There were many magical moments in Iran. For me, perhaps, the most magical was to hear a little Zoroastrian child recite her prayers flawlessly in a tiny fire-temple in Yazd. It made me realize that our faith is truly abiding and strong. It has survived for thousands of years and will hopefully will continue for the next 1000.
Y: How does your visit affect your faith now?
TD: My faith is a lot stronger now. Visiting Iran made some of the ancient concepts of Zoroastrianism come alive for me.
Y: Would you want to visit Iran again to make more films and what would the subject be?
TD: I would love to visit Iran again. There are at least a 100 topics that I would like to do documentaries on! I would like to devote one, entire, documentary to Persepolis and maybe another one on the status of Iranian women.
Y: What are you working on now? Are you working on any film project now?
TD: I am trying to put together a proposal and budget for the next documentary on Zoroastrianism.
Y: What media did you shoot the film on? What is the running time?
TD: The film was primarily shot on Beta and small parts of it were shot on a Digital camera. The total running time is one hour.
Y: Where can a copy of the film be found? Any distribution? Or video retailer Web Site?
TD: The film can be purchased by educational institutions at www.buyindies.com. Individuals can purchase it by e-mailing my office at Tdubash@aol.com.
Y: Have you submitted the film to any festivals?
TD: The film has been submitted to the Margaret Mead film festival, as well as a documentary festival in Seattle and New York.
Y: Would you like your film to be screened in Yazd Film Festival?
TD:Yes, I would be very interested. What is the procedure? (Contact Yazd office of Culture an Tourism at: +98-351-38046 or +98-351-38047 or +98-351-38048)
Y: Do you have a Web Site?
TD:Our website is a link on www.zarathushtra.com

TOEFL Essay Topic 127 - Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
Author: Kombat | Date: November 7, 2006 | Score:3 | => 5 or 6 Essays, Click Here <=
Disagree with the statement
Nowadays people people prefer watching movies than reading novels. In todays world most people prefers to watch a fiction movies than reading it. The simple reason is that people are very busy in everyday life events. In most novels their are some words that the reader might not even know what it meants. This makes the reader to get confused at what he/she is reading about. In effect it slows the reader to find a dictionary to find out exactly what is ment of that particular word or statement.
This will actually makes the reader to stop or do something that might b of productive in his life. The fact is that people are very lazy especially in this our century that we are now living. Let take an example of Harry Porter’s movie, the total number of people that saw the movie is twice or trice the amount of people that are reading the novel itself.
The simple fact is that, movie make a story much more easier for the watcher to understand the story more, and in most movies their are catchy words that they are using that makes viewer to understand the story much more understandable that than in comparing with the novel. Although reading the novel can improve on someones english language. A
Most people read novels when they are travelling or go on vacations. This is because by reading novels they will be able to occupy themselves. Although it needs lots of attention. And interestingly, reading novels makes people to be more smarter, it also widens their membrane.
But just because that we are living in a machine age, I think that people prefers watching movies. It makes them to see exactly what , how and when the story happens. In this respect I am disagree with the statement the reading novels is much more enjoyable, that watching movies.

Treasurer Scott Morrison has returned from an international economic gathering in the US, boasting there is not an economy in the world that would not want to be Australia.
His upbeat appraisal though was tempered by a global credit rating agency again warning Australia could lose its treasured tripe-A rating as foreign debt balloons.
Mr Morrison attended the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington last week.
"There is not an economy in the G20 or other wise that would not want to be Australia at the moment and would not want to have the strong financial and banking system that ensures that we can have the resilience to ensure we underpin jobs and growth in this country," he told parliament on Monday.
The treasurer also used parliamentary question time to lay out what the Turnbull government had achieved in its first 100 days since the federal election.
The list included securing some $11 billion in budget improvement measures in the first few sitting weeks, and introducing legislation to cut personal and company taxes.
Mr Morrison also noted two ratings agencies had affirmed Australia's AAA rating.
But Standard & Poor's has warned the nation's foreign debt levels have reached an "extreme" level at more than $1 trillion, matching the worst in the world.
"The government will point out that its fiscal position is strong - but it's not quite as strong as it used to be," said John Chambers, chairman of the firm's sovereign ratings committee.
"Australia would have one of the weakest external positions of the 130 sovereigns that we rate."
The nation's net foreign debt rose from $970 billion to $1.045 trillion over the 12 months to June.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann insists debt was lower than it would have been if the government had not changed policies it inherited from Labor three years ago.
"We are working our way, still, dealing with the messes that they've created on the fiscal front," he said.
In July the rating agency put Australian on "negative outlook" because of concerns the new Senate would make budget repair hard to achieve.
Other agencies - Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings - have issued similar warnings.

Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic champion who shot and killed his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, was the No. 1 athlete on Google worldwide trends in 2013.
Google trends are search topics with the largest increase in search volume since the previous period (presumably since the last year). Few Olympians were the most trending athletes in specific country data released, given the definition and that it’s a non-Olympic year.
Pistorius was the fifth-highest trending athlete in the U.S., behind No. 1 Aaron Hernandez, the jailed ex-New England Patriots tight end who pleaded not guilty in September to charges including the first-degree murder Odin Lloyd.
In 2012, NBA point guard Jeremy Lin was the highest trending athlete, ahead of Olympic champions swimmer Michael Phelps and gymnast McKayla Maroney, who were second and fourth.
The South African Pistorius, the first double amputee to run in the Olympics in 2012, will go on trial from March 3-20 in Pretoria after being charged with murdering Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius said he thought Steenkamp was an intruder when he shot through his bathroom door and killed her in the early morning hours on Valentine’s Day.
Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn was the 10th-most trending athlete in the U.S. in 2013.
Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong was the fifth-highest trending athlete in the world in 2013.
Globally, the Boston Marathon was the most trending event of 2013.
In Norway, Olympic cross-country skiing champion Petter Northug was the most searched athlete, ahead of prodigious world chess champion Magnus Carlsen.
In South Africa, Pistorius was second in trending people behind Nelson Mandela, who died Dec. 5. Steenkamp was fifth.

Jason Bay accidentally insulted on Internet
Internet events recently conspired against former Mets outfielder Jason Bay.
|Jason Bay, perhaps sensing a distant disturbance in the force. (US Presswire)|
First, the Internet snapshot of interest, which comes to us courtesy of the actual Art Vandelay ...
Now, the question: Does the left side of the equation prove the right side, or does the right side prove the left side? That much is left to debate. What's not left to debate is this: Jason Bay has been accidentally insulted on the Internet.
This, however, must come as refreshing news to Mr. Bay, who is all too accustomed to being insulted on the Internet not accidentally, but rather with boatloads of malice aforethought.

As reported by Reuters
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were set to open lower on Friday after a government report showed the economy added 193,000 jobs in January, fewer than expected.
However, December payrolls were revised upward to 140,000 jobs from 108,000 earlier. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent last month, the lowest level since July 2001, from 4.9 percent in December.
Economists polled by Reuters expected payrolls to rise by 240,000.
Standard & Poor's 500 index futures were down 0.10 point, below fair value, a mathematical formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract.
Nasdaq 100 index futures were down 3 points, and Dow Jones industrial average futures were down 6 points.
"This figure is significantly lower than had been anticipated - a lot of people were factoring in 250,000 to 300,000 jobs," said Stanley Nabi, vice chairman at Silvercrest Asset Management Group. "What we see here is a labor market that is getting tighter by the minute."
On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve lifted the benchmark rate to 4.50 percent and hinted more rate hikes might be needed.
"Those who said the Fed has only one or no more increases coming are going to revise their opinions," Nabi added. "The Fed is not finished. It probably has one or two more increases from here."
On the corporate front, appliance maker Maytag Corp. (NYSE:MYG - news), which is being bought by Whirlpool Corp. (NYSE:WHR - news), reported on Friday a larger fourth-quarter loss, as charges and weakness in sales of vacuums offset higher sales of major appliances.
Investors may focus on Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq:AMZN - news). Amazon shares tumbled in extended trading hours on Thursday after the online retailer said net profit fell in its critical fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
Other economic indicators on Friday include reports on factory orders and durable goods at 10 a.m. and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index at 9:45 a.m

Hepatitis B is another serious liver infection that was caused due to hepatitis B virus (HBV). In certain cases, this hepatitis B liver infection will become chronic that lasts for more than 6 – 8 months which in turn increases the risk of getting liver failure, cirrhosis or liver cancer.
In almost all the people who are infected with hepatitis B, the adults will be recovered soon and completely but the children or the infants who are more likely to develop this chronic hepatitis B infection. The intake of vaccine will definitely help you to prevent this hepatitis B but make sure that if you already having it then you don’t have any cure. If you already infected then taking certain precautions will help to prevent its spreading of HBV to others.
Some of the signs and symptoms of this hepatitis B include dark urine, fever, abdominal pain, joint pain, loss of appetite, weakness and fatigue, vomiting, nausea and jaundice, etc. This virus can be passed from one person to another through blood, semen or any other body fluids.
Here are some of the common ways that this HBV is transmitted from one person to another are sexual contact with an infected partner in which their blood, semen, saliva, or vaginal secretions will enter into the body, sharing of needles and syringes which was contaminated with infected blood, usage of accidental needle sticks, from mother to child transfer at the time of birth.
Some of the preventive measures for hepatitis B include having safe or no sex with your sexual partner and be sure that usage of new latex condom will reduce the risk but don’t eliminate the risk completely, test your sexual partner and yourself before having sex to prevent this problem, never share your needles and syringes if you are using IV drugs and also stop sharing your razor blades or toothbrushes, etc. which might carry any traces of infected blood. Other than these, make sure to learn about hepatitis B, always stay connected with friends and family, take care about yourself especially about your liver by not drinking alcohol and intake of over the counter medications without consulting the doctor and taking the hepatitis B vaccine for the people who are suffering from this problem.

Chinese-authored spyware that can be used to track a user’s movements and communications has been found on some 700 million Android smartphones, security researchers said.
The spyware, discovered by Virginia-based Kryptowire, was reportedly authored by Chinese startup Shanghai Adups Technology Company.
“The Department of Homeland Security was recently made aware of the concerns discovered by Kryptowire and is working with our public and private sector partners to identify appropriate mitigation strategies,” said U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Marsha Catron.
“We also encourage all Americans to take precautions to ensure the security of their data and personal information, including using strong passwords, maintaining up-to-date antivirus software and minimizing the amount of personal data they share online.”
The researchers said the spyware was so well hidden on the devices that it was nearly impossible to detect.
“The traffic was encrypted multiple times and the servers that were being used were also part of the firmware checking and updating process,” Kryptowire Vice President Tom Karygiannis told CyberScoop.
“Even if an average user was able to notice the traffic, he/she would not be able to understand what this traffic was about. Given that this same domain was used for firmware updates, it is highly unlikely that the users or an internet provider for that matter, would have recognized the traffic as [personal identifiable information] transmission because it was camouflaged as part of the firmware updating/checking process.”

Earlier this morning, we saw the HTC One E9 get certified in China by TENAA, and now we have reason to believe that it will be announced very soon. But it's not the only device we might see tomorrow. HTC has sent out invitations that are for a conference or event that will likely unveil something rather grand for China, tomorrow March 11.
The invitations, which are apparently on metal, read (in Chinese, and if you have a better translation, feel free to let us know) "HTC Because you will be born for you 2015.3.11 – 3.17". The date obviously means that something is happening then, although it is less clear what the "3.17" refers to. But what does seem likely is that the event's subtitle (Because you will be born for you) likely refers directly to the device, or devices, that HTC plan to unveil and launch on that day / date. This could also be some sort of week of HTC festivities and news events to unveil multiple devices, though.
The HTC One E9, which we reported on earlier, seems a likely star of the event, since it is unlikely that it will get launched outside of Asian markets, or even outside of China. But, we might also be able to expect a variant of the HTC One M9, the Hima_Ultra, with its MediaTek processor, 5.5-inch display, and fingerprint scanner, as was rumored by @upleaks during Mobile World Congress last month. We heard from him that the Hima_Ultra, the One M9 Ultra, was originally going to have a U.S. and Asian release, with a Snapdragon and MediaTek variant, but then there were hints that the Chinese market would be a target for HTC in 2015, with the U.S. not getting a Hima_Ultra model. What does seem to be the case is that HTC is holding an event, and this one is going to be big for China, especially since The HTC One M9 didn't launch in China (yet; that could change at the event tomorrow), Sense 7 and the M9 might get announced tomorrow as well as the E9. Anybody else really excited for HTC to show off this year, especially since they're already off to a huge start with VR, wearables, and a great flagship? What do you think and hope that HTC unveils tomorrow at its event? Let us know down below.

Kent City Council considers banning roosters after noise complaints
The city of Kent was considering banning roosters after people complained they made too much noise.
The city council met earlier this week and discussed the ban, but decided it wanted more information before making a final decision.
City workers claim the ban would be difficult to enforce, according to the Kent Reporter.
If the ban is approved a later date, owners would have 30 days to get rid of their roosters.

Numerous studies have revealed that entrepreneurial ecosystems are crucial to the competitiveness and success of high-tech start ups. It is important to understand how these ecosystems grow and develop self-sustained in order to strengthen their capacity to help start-ups with high-tech. But, there are a lot of obstacles that hinder entrepreneurial ecosystems from reaching their full potential (Gbadegeshin 2022).
Technology advancements are set to dramatically alter the landscape of business. Recognizing these trends and leveraging them can help startups improve their efficiency, decrease costs and enhance the customer experience and also create new revenue streams. To do this, founders of startups need to identify the relevant technologies, investigate the possible impact, consider the risks and issues, and consult with a specialist who is experienced in implementation.
Startup managers must be able to be flexible and adapt their approach as technology continues to develop. For instance, a new technology like AI or blockchain may seem promising in the abstract, but if it is not practical for the company https://rockstarstartup.co.uk/ it could be a waste of time and money. Startups should focus on identifying their weaknesses and determining if certain technologies can enhance their efficiency for instance, by employing software to manage internal email. This can allow teams to concentrate working on other ideas and improving their customer experience.

Inside knee pain is a common complaint, particularly in those of us over the age of 50. And while there are many potential causes of inside knee pain, the most common type is patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). PFPS is caused by excessive pressure on the kneecap and can be treated with a combination of exercises and therapies. In this article, we suggest five activities that you should be doing to help reduce your symptoms.
What is inside knee pain?
Various injuries can cause inside knee pain, but the most common cause is simply wearing and tearing on the joint. 80-90% of inside knee pain is caused by DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness. That’s why it’s so important to keep your knee healthy by doing exercises that stretch and strengthen the surrounding muscles.

3) Wallsit – This exercise simultaneously strengthens your gluteus maximus (the biggest butt muscles) and your quadriceps muscles. It also helps improve balance, coordination, and agility, which will all go a long way in reducing inside knee pain symptoms.
4) Chair Dorsi Stretch – For those who have trouble reaching their toes due to knee stiffness or weakness, try using a Chair Dorsi Stretch instead. Sitting with both legs bent brings

There are several movies based on a book series, but there is always the question of whether or not it is better to read the books before watching the movie. The Twilight Saga is one book series that should definitely be read first because it fills in a lot of the plot holes you might have been confused about while watching the movies. It even adds depth to the characters and explains their actions in ways you might not have realized otherwise.
We have compiled a list of instances in the movies that would not have made sense to anyone who didn't read the books. These could be plot holes or explanations of a character's actions that would help a viewer grasp the deeper meaning behind certain circumstances. Keep reading to learn about ten things in the Twilight movies that only make sense if you read the books.
10 Bella Did Other Things Besides Just Being With Edward
The movies make it seem like Bella's life revolves around Edward and her romantic life with him, but it is just not true. Bella ends up finding a job at the Newton's outdoor shop called Newton's Olympic Outfitters.
Her life also consists of studying and also taking care of things at home. These things were left out of the movie, making it appear that her life consisted of only Edward, but her character was actually more complicated than she appeared.
9 Bella's Clumsiness in the Books Help Make Her Lies More Believable
The first movie in the series shows Bella's clumsiness as she slips on ice or pricks her finger, but they definitely downplayed this facet of her character. People who didn't read the books might find it hard to believe that Bella fell down a flight of stairs, which was used as her excuse to explain what happened to her at the ballet studio.
The books portray her as barely able to walk on her own two feet without encountering a disaster, but the movies veer aware from this as time goes on, and this fact might leave some movies watchers confused.
8 Bella Faints at the Sight and Smell of Blood
Something else that is in the Twilight book and not the movie adaptation is when Bella's biology class is required to give blood. The book describes how Bella faints at the sight or smell of blood, which ends up sending her to the nurse. It also shows another reason why Edward and Bella are so incompatible, as blood is the one thing Edward needs to survive.
The film also downplays the scene where Bella pricks her finger, then slices her arm on broken glass, as in the books it causes her to almost faint amidst the chaos.
7 Esme's Past About Losing a Child Explains Some Things
There is a scene in the New Moon movie where the entire Cullen family votes on changing Bella. The only two who vote "no" are Edward and Rosalie, which is strange when you consider Esme's past life. The movies do not share why Esme was changed, but it happened when Carlisle found Esme after she had attempted to commit suicide after the death of her baby.
Esme had already watched Edward try to commit suicide once when he thought Bella was dead, and that would have destroyed Esme as she viewed all of the Cullen children as her own. Esme could not bear to lose another child and the only way to remedy this seemed to be to change Bella. This shaped her vote and this was something else that made a lot more sense in the books. Readers knew the reasoning behind her decision.
6 Alice and Edward Gave Bella a CD for Her Birthday
This important factor was left out of the movie, despite it being such a major emotional breaking point for Bella after Edward left. Edward and Alice gifted it to her on her birthday, and the CD contained the lullaby Edward had written just for her.
She loved the CD and when he hid it from her after he left, she was heartbroken that she couldn't even have that piece of him to hold onto. This detail helps viewers understand just how thorough Edward was in making sure she had nothing left to remind herself of him, and how it furthered her mental breakdown.
5 Edward Owned a Motorcycle
Edward found out that Bella had been riding motorcycles with Jacob while he had been away, but the movie doesn't show that he attempted to do this with her. Edward bought himself a motorcycle but gave it to Jasper after he realized it was singular to Bella and Jacob's friendship.
Edward knows it is something that he and Bella will never share, and it furthers his character arc as he learns to tolerate and trust Jacob Black.
4 Edward Pushed for Bella to Go to College
The movies showcase this a little bit, but the books really divulge Edward's desire for Bella not to miss out on anything that humans get to experience. Edward wants Bella to go to college and even fills out applications for her. She ends up being accepted into the University of Alaska, but Edward wants her to choose something more prestigious like Dartmouth.
Edward cares about her education and experiences, but the movie seems to neglect this side of him at times when the books shine a brighter light on this facet of his image.
3 Bella Cooks All of Charlie's Meals
The movies show Bella and Charlie eating at the diner, but the truth is that Bella cooked all of the meals. She was actually more like Charlie's caretaker as she cleaned up the house and made him eat healthier. This showed how much Bella cared for her father and her ability to fend for herself as an independent woman.
The movies seemed to only show Bella as a hopeless girl who needed a man to save her from herself, but they failed to shine a light on what she was actually capable of doing.
2 Alice and Bella are Close Friends
The movie touches on this at parts as Alice buys Bella gifts or helps Bella plan her wedding and graduation party, but their relationship ran so much deeper than that. The movies made us believe that they were friendly toward each other, but at times it seemed like Bella somewhat tolerated Alice's antics.
The books, on the other hand, show the side where Bella and Alice would hang out together, and she even stayed over for a sleepover. It added a new dimension to her character and people might not understand this if they didn't read the books.
1 Charlie Wanted Bella to Choose Jacob
When Edward leaves Bella and sends her into a depression, Charlie wants nothing but Edward's head. Charlie is even less pleased when Edward comes back and Bella returns to his arms, but the movies downplay Charlie's emotions. Charlie, along with Billy, was rooting for Jacob and Bella to be together.
When Jacob kisses Bella in the books, Charlie doesn't reprimand him and instead congratulates him for doing it. It shows the rift that has formed between Bella and her father as she is forced to choose between her family and Edward, but this is something movie watchers may not fully understand unless they read the books.

EPA execs tell their employees to get their sh*t together….literally
EPA Sends E-mail Asking Employees To Stop Pooping In The Hallway
Are there not enough bathrooms at the EPA? There has to be some kind of explanation for why their employees are pooping in the hallways…
via Huffington Post
There must be something in the water. And, unfortunately, the government agency tasked with keeping it clean appears to be one of the worst affected.
On Wednesday, the Government Executive divulged an email wherein EPA management asked employees to stop pooping in the hallway of its Region 8 Office in Denver. (Yes, apparently this was a problem.)
Sure, the EPA does important work, like protecting air and water quality for millions of Americans, but news of the email’s laughably absurd subject regarding “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom doesn’t exactly make agency employees sound very professional.
The email calls to mind some other bizarre incidents that have occurred at the agency in recent years. What’s more ridiculous than a mysterious hallway pooper? How about a food stamp trafficker, a 16-year-old can of soup, and an employee who pretended to moonlight as a CIA agent. We can’t make this stuff up.
We’re speechless. SMH.

The second monograph devoted to the art of pen & ink master Joseph Clement Coll. Over 220 illustrations. Out of print in softcover and hardcover. This hardbound edition was limited to 800 copies.
There is little overlap between this volume and the earlier The Magic Pen of Joseph Clement Coll and no overlap with the later Joseph Clement Coll: A Legacy in Line.
From the publisher:
The hardbound edition is limited to 800 copies. In addition, contained within, is a bound in color plate reproduced direct from the original art exclusive to this special edition. The illustration was first used as cover art for the April 24, 1910 issue featuring The Garden of Fate.
Coll executed hundreds of drawings for Associated Sunday Magazines. Because of Associated's rarity, these images have remained relatively unknown. Selected from a near complete run from 1904 to 1917 -- over 220 of the finest are reproduced here, many for the first time since their original publication. Over 40 have been scanned direct from the original art and rendered for the most part at full size, revealing the tonal effects lost in the original printed form. This is the first time such a large collection of Coll's originals has been assembled in one volume. Coll's work for Sir Nigel is reproduced nearly in its entirety, showcasing his brilliant imagination and ease at handling adventure art.
All images include the corresponding source information. A bibliography of Joseph Clement Coll's work for Associated Sunday Magazines is included as well.

Washington Capitals forward prospect Axle Jonsson-Fjallby scored his third goal of the season Wednesday night to help Vasterviks IK beat Vasby, 3-2. Jonsson-Fjallby also recorded an assist in the contest.
The goal came at 8:14 of the second period, stretching Vasterviks’ lead to 2-0. Jonsson-Fjallby, #44, would clean-up the loose change by knocking home a left-side rebound for the score.
Vasterviks would give up two goals in the third period, sending the game into overtime. Jonathan Davidsson would win it for Vasterviks 1:10 into the extra frame.
Jonsson-Fjallby has three goals and eight assists in 16 games played so far this season. He had gone nearly a full month without a score before Wednesday night’s tally. Axel’s other two goals this season came on October 20 against Mora. Again, Vasterviks is in the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan of the Swedish league.
Jonsson-Fjallby has been the Vasterviks top-line left wing for most of the month. [Click to enlarge]
The Capitals announced on September 14 that they had loaned left wing Jonsson-Fjallby to Vastervik IK of the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan League to begin the 2020-21 season. It is expected that the Capitals will recall Jonsson-Fjallby to North America in time for the start of the Capitals’ 2020-21 training camp.
