After seeing the American flag being disrespected several times, Cesar Zakahi finally had enough. The Stanley County School District custodian posted a picture of proof on his Facebook page. Then, he claims, was fired.
Cesar claimed that a fellow female janitor had been throwing the flag on a shelf in the corner of the school’s boiler room for several months. He claims he had complained many times to the school’s superintendent about the flag’s treatment and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Flags are suppose to be folded and neatly stored when not flying proud. The video shows the American flag along with the South Dakota flag crumpled up in the schools boiler room. (continue reading at KIKN.com)

In my formative years my great uncle Dr. Walter Cale was a horseback doctor in Atkins, Arkansas, known for Atkin’s Pickles. He sold cucumbers for a living to the pickle plant and bartered medical services taking in chickens and eggs. His two-room home office took walk-ins with routine care in the front room and the back room housed his examination table, which he dropped ether solo doing surgeries. He was my physician and gave me the inspiration to shoot for the stars from our poultry farm. He did well financially and had community respect from all.
Post-World War, third party insurance introduced pencil pushers between the doctor and patient. Big government socialists noticed and the American Medical Assoc. was offered the copyright to ICD publications and the American Psychiatric Assoc. was offered DSM copyrights if both organizations would back socialized medicine via medicare/then medicaid. The rank and file were sold down the river, so to speak, with golden retirement parachutes for leaderships.
The ensuing price controls and bureaucracy degraded medicine with physicians chasing the rabbit around the financial track. To reduce the added expense of the middle men, managed care was devised. Doctors found that patients would change MD care for a pittance cheaper charge. The physicians saw patients as a revenue source and not a friend and neighbor. Patients saw doctors as a commodity to sue as an insurance policy if health did not remain perfect. The government was glad to force doctors to take the mark of the beast as hospital privileges required the MD to accept medicaid patients and medicaid which forced MD’s to charge even the poor or uninsured the same price without discount or else be sanctioned.
The low reimbursements required quick throughput, as with cattle, to cover expenses. The huge volume at low profit and degraded quality pleased the government as the MD’s were the highest revenue source for the Treasury as a group. Anecdotally, the expanding knowledge base and time pressures degraded quality. The government introduced electronic health records to slowly force treatment cookbook cascade methods like paramedics use in the military. Additionally, it takes so much longer to see the patient and electronically prescribe with typed notes that significantly fewer patients can be seen through office hours. This results in fewer claims to Centers for Medicare, etc. As in all socialist schemes rationing becomes necessary.
Now fast forward to present day and Covid is making older MD’s consider retirement rather than pay staff and expenses whilst being slowed further by Covid precautions/protocols. The risk of a subpoena by a trial lawyer, on behalf of employees or patients catching Covid, makes retirement look better. Telemedicine is slower, less accurate, depersonalizes, and devoids the last of the physician patient relationship. Older MD’s are a large proportion of practicing physicians. Covid may be the final coup de grâce if they are financially stable. It is now gotten to the point of being hard for a physician to find a practiced physician, good luck to the lay person.
Socialized medicine will be forthcoming rapidly. Already two thirds of physicians are hospital-employed minions controlled by number-driven men in Italian suits and manicured grooming. In one lifetime, this MD has seen the complete replacement of traditional care to a government-hospital industrial complex with a different “provider” yearly, if not semi-annually. It is impersonal and less beneficial than having a trusted doctor lobbying for you sincerely. Covid is the final nail in the coffin. We will be akin to Canadian and British NHS unless you are wealthy and can afford concierge care from a MD who has bailed from centers for medicare which makes it illegal for the MD or patient to bill for services. By the way, one can not bail from medicare Part-A without risking your social security check.
A strange new medical normal with fewer doctors, greater expense, scarce expensive medicines, and degraded services is on the horizon. Maybe we will still be able to leave our homes without Fauci’s/ E.U./U.N. Covid ID of alleged immunity.

Whatever the source of protein you consume, make sure they are organic grass fed and antibiotic-free, as they are generally healthier and safer for your body. In one study, researchers indicated that grass fed beef (regardless of cuts) contains more omega-3 acid and conjugated linoleic acid compared to grain-fed beef.21 As for non-meat sources of protein, try to look for organic and pesticide-free varieties.
Don't stick to chicken and steak just because you're comfortable cooking them. Make dinner time the place where you can try new meats and recipes that increase your keto recipe resources. œAt lunch and dinner, you can be creative and experiment, Weaver says. œJust focus on cooking meat”pork, chicken, lamb, beef, or seafood. Meat is rich in iron and fish contains omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Use only organic oils, such as avocado oil, coconut oil, and olive oil.
¢ Constipation: No one likes to feel backed up, and sadly if you're not careful about your diet choices when going keto, it could become a regular concern. One 10-year (albeit small) study looking at the effects of a keto diet on young children found that 65 percent experienced digestive woes. Thankfully, going keto is not a life sentence for problem bowels. Since you're cutting out whole grains and fruit (two of the most common sources of fiber), aim to up your fiber-rich veggies, and consider a supplement.

Also make sure that you know what foods have mostly carbs, fat, and protein, so you can make the right choices. For instance, it's not just bread, pasta, chips, cookies, candy, and ice cream that contain carbs. Beans may contain protein, but they're also very high in carbohydrates. Fruit and veggies also mostly contain carbs. The only foods that don't contain carbs are meat (protein) and pure fats, like butter and oils (including olive oil and coconut oil).

North Carolina is broke — or so we were told during the fight over the state budget during this last session. Stuff got cut out left and right. The N&O, The Democrats, the NCAE and state employee reps all howled over the budget cuts. We were told money was tight, that we needed to get a handle on spending so we could get our financial house in order.
Well, Boss Bev has signed an executive order extending unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed whose benefits have run out. Imagine that — right in front of a tough reelection fight. (Never mind that we already are wrangling with a massive debt to the feds regarding unemployment benefits.) How did we get here? Let’s see:
North Carolina’s debt to the federal government continues to grow as a fund used to pay unemployment claims is not collecting enough revenue to keep it fiscally sound. The state now owes more than $2.5 billion to the federal government because of a negative balance in the North Carolina Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund.
North Carolina Budget and Tax Center director Alexandra Sirota said there are two main reasons why the debt is now at its current level. “In the 90’s we made the decision to cut taxes on employer’s contributions to unemployment insurance trust fund and therefore were set up, by the time of the first recession in the 2000’s, in a really inadequate position to meet the claims that were coming in,” said Sirota. And she added that the latest recession came and still has the economy struggling to recover.
Earlier this year, lawmakers authorized the Department of Commerce to study the problem, but that had not started six months later. However, House Speaker Thom Tillis said he expects the study to get underway soon.
GOP leaders say they hope to get a solution to the unemployment fund in time for next year’s legislative session.
Hmmm. Payroll tax cuts caused this huge debt to pile up. Isn’t that THE SAME THING BarryO and the Dems browbeat Congress into passing right before Christmas? Unbelievable.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more outlandish — It does. A state government panel has recommended the payment of $50,000 to EVERY living survivor of a state-sponsored sterilization program. There are an estimated 2000 survivors of this state program. So, if we do the math, boys and girls, that comes to $100 million dollars. We don’t have the money to pay unemployment benefits, but we’re going to shell out $100 million to people sterilized by the state of North Carolina in the early to mid-2oth century.
We’ve got all kinds of activists seeking tax money for reparations to make amends for historical events like this sterilization, slavery, forced relocation of Native Americans, and internment of Japanese-Americans — all of which were perpetrated by Democrats before I was born. If you want money for your problems. send the bill to The Democrat Party. They made those messes. Not me.
These sterilization payments are nothing more than an attempt by Raleigh politicians trying to save their necks by buying forgiveness and reelection. They don’t care if they have to flush our state’s economy down the toilet in the process.
We can’t count on Republican or Democrat politicians to do the right thing to preserve some kind of future for the next generations of North Carolinians. The media enables the crooks and scalawags in our capital city. We have to get in their faces.
The people did just that to Bev Perdue in The Dean Dome the other night.
(Note to The N&O’s John Frank: I was at the game, too. At least half of the crowd was lustily booing Bev. No one booed Holden Thorp. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.)

The LG G Flex2 has borrowed the sensor and setup from the G3 which we reviewed last summer. The G Flex2 uses a 13MP camera with optical image stabilization for stills along with phase-detection focus on the sensor aided by an infrared sensor to help with distance information. There's also a dual-LED flash to cover lower light shooting. The latest G Flex2 is clearly a superior imaging package compared to its predecessor.
LG has intentionally stripped down the interface to house a bare minimum of on-screen controls. It's not as extreme as what Google did with the Nexus camera interface, but it is somewhat uncharacteristic from a maker that typically throws in camera features by the boatload. Still, all the shooting modes are easily organized in their own section.
You can touch the screen to focus on a specific element, and can even set it to automatically shoot once it does so.
The LG G Flex2 produces great results from its camera with good overall detail and pleasant colors. The smartphone is also quick to snap photos and we can see the OIS working to steady the viewfinder while shooting.
The only issues we found with the LG G Flex2 's camera is the blotchy noise visible in areas of solid colors - like the sky - where there shouldn't be any at such good conditions. Perhaps LG processing is exaggerating the noise in these areas due to oversaturating the respective color channel. Still the noise would only be visible for pixel-peepers.
The LG G Flex2 was spot on with its white balance but has the colors slightly cooler compared to the LG G3. The terrific dynamic range we've come to expect from LG smartphones is evident here too - the G Flex2 captures plenty of detail in both the shadows and highlights without needing its Auto HDR mode.
When turned on, the HDR mode produces some of the best images you could take with this phone. HDR brings back a lot of the detail in the shadows and mostly leaves the highlights as they are. Have a look see for yourselves but we'd say that LG rivals Samsung for the best built-in HDR mode on smartphones these days.
The LG G Flex2 also captured great macro images. We rarely had a miss with focusing and we're likely to thank both phase detection and the IR system for that. Even at about 8-9cm the G Flex2 can snap quick, sharp photos.
While the sensor technology may be the same it's clear that the LG G Flex2 and G3 have different software optimizations. Below you'll find a quick comparison of two images taken with both phones at the same time. The G Flex2 clearly outputs more saturated colors, especially in the red and blue channels.
The LG G3 is also the sharper device with the mature processing - its images exhibit clearer, finer detail, while the ones from the G Flex2 appearing oversharpened and not as attractive.
There isn't much in it, though - both cameras take excellent 13MP pictures, the older LG G3 is just superior. You can find the full-resolution samples below.
Overall, the LG G Flex2 is a great imaging performer that can capture good photos, fast and display them in their full glory on the 5.5" curved OLED screen. But the G Flex2 also is a step back from the LG G3, which simply offers better photos.
Finally, you can check out our photo quality comparison tool. In it you can clearly see the LG G Flex2 is an improvement over its predecessor, the LG G Flex.
Utilizing its beefy Snapdragon 810 chipset, the LG G Flex2 doesn't break a sweat recording UHD (3840 x 2160px) video at 30fps, FullHD at 30fps (1920 x 1080px) and slow-motion HD video at 120fps (1280 x 720px). Smooth-motion 1080p videos at 60fps are weirdly omitted here but with UHD at hand, we really don't mind.
Straight to the point - UHD videos are superb with great detail, both more importantly, super smoothness. Colors are saturated and things are sharp - but this really isn't a surprise - we haven't yet seen bad UHD videos.
1080p videos are also good but nowhere near as detailed. We've seen better FullHD clips from midrange devices - such as the Samsung Galaxy A5.
Finally, the LG G Flex2 can autofocus on its own while recording but when you choose a focus point, the phone will alter exposure depending on what passes through the point. This isn't a problem when shooting a single object (person, pet or object) but isn't ideal when shooting many different objects passing through the focal point like in our test videos.
Finally, the LG G Flex2 captures 720p slow-motion video at 120fps but they look as if taken in even lower resolution and don't even look good on the small phone screen let alone on a bigger display.
And finally, you can pixel peep all you like in our video comparison tool. You can see that the LG G3 still captures better videos with a clearer, more defined processing and better level of resolved detail.

Moodoïd Will Fly You to the Moon
Translation by:Mike Miller
While wandering the streets of Paris, you can see everything, hear everything, smell everything. The stars are the only thing you'll have trouble catching a glimspe of. If you want to reach them, just close your eyes and immerse yourself in Moodoïd's Le Monde Möö.
The self-described fanciful, romantic Parisian group reinforces the notion of Paris being the City of Love. With its sensitive lyrics and stratospheric, cozy melodies, Moodoïd tries to carry away music lovers like Hergé did to readers in Destination Moon.
Vocalist Pablo Padovani was first a member of a band called Melody’s Echo Chamber. The concept? A frontwoman and some guys playing psych pop with a French twist. After a short break from music, young Padovani wanted to return to his secret project called Moodoïd. Songs about emotions, love, and the moon were fused with Turkish and Asian-inspired surrealist music videos.
Moodoïd - La Lune
Not wanting to repeat the male-centric band experience, Pablo enlisted three female musicians to add the touch of softness he was looking for in his music. With the help of Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, who is also Melody’s Echo Chamber’s producer, the Moodoïd EP was released in 2013.
Padovani first started recording in a friend’s bedroom. He had to choose four songs to later record in studio. He let his curiosity take over, trying all the instruments at his disposal and calling in as many singers and musicians as he could. But he finished his session with over two hundred tracks — an overwhelming amount, but after a few days of work, the short “album” was born. The universe was thus revealed to the world.
Eleven months later, Le Monde Möö has now seen the light of day (and night). After releasing a self-titled EP, Moodoïd has finally shown us the world it is creating. With Nicolas Vernhes, an independent producer based in New York, the French group has unveiled a more polished, recognizable sound. With ten songs, more than twice as much as their previous effort, the starry quartet strung the tracks of their third release together with softness and rhythm. Pablo Padovani's project is finally taking off, which will please Earthlings that are steadfastly waiting for him to land on stage.

Stress is a part of everyone’s life, but staying stressed out does not have to be. There are always going to be things in your life that you have no control over, but you do have control over your reaction to those things. Being overly stressed not only harms you mentally, it also harms you physically.
If you’re feeling stressed out try exercising on a regular basis. Exercising three to five times a week is a great way for your body to burn off excess energy and to clear out the stress. While you’re exercising, your mind can focus on that task at hand and you can forget about what’s stressing you out.
Make sure you’re not taking too much on. If you’re feeling stressed, particularly at work, it could be because you’re trying to take on too much work at once. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you’re not able to handle your work load, let your boss know. Often, your boss will be more than happy to help you out or help you to find someone who can.
Consider getting a pet as a way to relieve stress. Having a dog waiting for you at home with his tail wagging can be a great boost after a hard, stressful day at work. Even jut have a fish can really improve your mood. But don’t take on a pet if you’re not going to be able to care for it.
If you’re in a stressful situation, before you doing anything rash, stop and count to ten. This will give you a moment to relax and cool down. It’ll prevent you from doing something you might regret and instead letting your mind calm down enough to make rational choices.
A great tip that can help you keep your stress levels down is to go outside for a walk. Taking a walk can do wonders for you if you’re feeling a little stressed out. You’ll be taking in fresh air as you’re out and about, seeing the world.
When you are feeling down or stressed out, call your boyfriend or girlfriend and tell them how much you love them. This will put a smile on their face which will indirectly make you feel good about yourself. Call a loved one to maximize the way that you feel during the day.
A great tip that can help you fight stress is to take some time off and treat yourself. You can treat yourself in a number of ways. You can splurge and eat something delicious or you can buy yourself a nice piece of clothing that you’ve always wanted.
Being active and exercising is usually a great way to relax and beat stress. Do not expect your stress to disappear instantly, since this is only a way to deal with your issues. Not only does it release stress, but it makes a person feel better about themselves, and gives them some control over their life.
A great tip that can help you keep your stress levels down is to stop procrastinating. If you have projects that need to be completed, you should make sure you finish them on time. Procrastinating might feel comfortable at first, but it will ultimately lead to a lot of stress.
Take more vitamins. Vitamin B has been shown to help reduce stress. Try to take between 100 percent and 300 percent of the daily allowance. Minerals such as chromium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, molybdenum, zinc, manganese, and selenium also help you to better deal with stress. Stay away from vitamins labeled as stress relievers as they are usually just vitamin B.
Music is an effective stress fighter. Music has a very powerful effect on us. Many studies have measured the varying effects of listening to different types of music, and it has been found that music can have a very calming influence. There are many different types of music. Find the type that calms you down and makes you feel better.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Learn to appreciate what things are worth stressing out over and what things are better to let go. There are so many things that you can’t control. If you have no control over what is going to happen, or the outcome, then there is no point in stressing out about it.
If you have tried other hobbies but found them unable to reduce your stress, then you may want to consider a handcraft. Even if you are a man, you can try out cross-stitching or scrap booking. The people who do these activities say that they begin to enter a trance and ultimately, feel better.
As you can see, there are many positive ways you can deal with your stress. Stress is unavoidable, and you will always have to deal with it, but the better you cope with it, the healthier you will be. Follow these tips, and you will find yourself better able to deal with your stresses.

Muncie Politics. It doesn’t get better than this. (This isn’t even an election year!) Mr. Mansfield still wants to be Mayor. The truth is nobody knows what happened with the ballots in Precinct 46. Was it an honest mistake? Or was it an effort by the Republican to overthrow the election? Or as one person commented on today’s Muncie Star Press article, did the Democrats whisk just enough away to not cause their candidate to lose? Yet, just enough to cause a stink. We will never know.
What we do know and have before us is a history of electioneering tricks. Some legal, some not. Let’s start with stacking the primary ballot. It has been common practice for years, to request a willing person to be placed on the ballot. A willing participant with last name beginning with the letters A or B. Of course a C or D will work if the “unwanted” candidate may have a last name of Edwards, for example. I have been told Republicans are guilty of the practice, too. Try as I may, not able find one shred of evidence to back this claim. Not saying it is not out there, just can’t find it.
Allegations, confessions and arrests the norm of Muncie elections. No access to voter registration lists, polling books or campaign materials. Candidates discourage to run for office, signs stolen; poll books in the trash, assessment requirements to the Headquarters. Do we need to look any further than 2008? (O.K. that was a County election, doesn’t matter, it shows a pattern.)
Is it any wonder companies avoid us like a plague? The Secretary of State and Attorney General has telephone numbers on speed dial.
The people of Muncie need to wake up and realize we will continue our decline unless something happens. And no, it is not impeaching the Mayor. If you care about this community, your family and your happiness, it is way past time to take the blinders off and see we can’t continue on the road to ruin.
Muncie City Council Meeting March, 2, 2009
It was a pretty uneventful, and actually boring the first hour or so.
Jerry Friend has worked hard on getting the ordinances updated. All 20+ were passed. Say what you may about the current administration, there is no doubt the people in place are qualified, community and citizen oriented. It is possible this department could be self-sustaining WITHOUT gouging the people who use the service, or those who don’t. Good job, Jerry.
The Consolidation and Modernization was passed. However, it was passed with a threshold. That would make it possible for the minority to over ride the majority. The City’ vote and the County’s vote are independent of each other. I seem to recall that more people spoke at the “Special Meeting” in favor on NO threshold. What’s new?
“City council added language that would require the referendum to pass both a vote among city residents and a separate vote among those outside city limits.
Because a defeat among either population group would defeat the entire referendum, the change made the consolidation effort more vulnerable.
Hypothetically, an absolute consensus among city voters could be undermined by a one-vote loss among county voters.”
Muncie Star Press 3-2-09
To quote Linda Gregory…”One man, one vote.”
Mr. Jinks spoke against the consolidation, and his reasons are far removed from what the consolidation is really all about. The “Team” is looking at ways to streamline government, consolidate services. We have duplication of services, and I doubt anyone would pay twice for the same item. I know I wouldn’t. The fact is, without a proper, non-partisan study, we can not proceed. I think of it as a medical exam. You visit your doc, he or she examines you…either you are great and you skip happily from the office…or the doc finds something that needs to be fixed.
Muncie and Delaware County need to be fixed.
On a positive note, Mayor McShurley has an IT person working on the website. It would be nice to get the minutes of the meetings and other critical documents. Oh, did I mention this position is strictly VOLUNTEER!
Mayor McShurley is working with Ball State and Comcast to keep this station alive. I believe is it vital to the community. Great for review and fantastic for those who are not able to attend meetings. Big thanks to Citizens of Delaware County for Property Tax Repeal, the driving force behind this media!
That’s about it.
See you all, later
Attended the first evening with Delaware County Commissioner’s meeting. When we first arrived, there was a public meeting already in progress, but the door was locked. Not sure how public it was.
Not much to report. Tommy Crawford spoke about the fund Tim Hutton (think that is his name) started on new ambulance purchases. I found it very interesting that someone took on the task and with success. $11.00 of every run will be deposited into the kitty to fund new ambulances, and no cost to the taxpayers. Mr. Crawford also expressed his disappointment that nothing was reported in the paper.
Poor Nick Werner. He gets it all the time.
The trending on properties will be begin this year for 2009 taxes and pay 2010. I bet that will be another increase.
The County appointed George Dahl for the Common Wage Hearing at Yorktown High School. Apparently, not every appointee was at the meeting. Some snafu where it was changed from 2:30 PM to 10:30 AM. Guess the word didn’t get out.
A gentleman spoke about the money that could be saved by using ABC wages instead of CCW. He cautioned the Commissioners that projects would increase in cost, when there is actually a way to get the same quality for less.
Community Corrections added an at-large member to their board. Judge Thomas Cannon.
Besides this, Della Gregory was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Yorktown-Mt. Pleasant Twp. Public Library. She will serve 4 years.
That’s about it, folks. Had to dash off at 7:15 for the OTHER government meeting.
You can check it out on Channel 60. See the broadcast schedule in the “pages” section of the blog.
Monday, however, marks the beginning of an effort by the commissioners to move some meetings to the evening in an attempt to make them more accessible for those who work during the day. From the Star Press 2-28-09
Why in the world would the Commissioners schedule the meeting on the EXACT night as City Council?
One word….attempt. This is a feeble ATTEMPT at best to make the meetings accessible for those who work. More like an attempt to cause conflict.
City Council has held the meetings on the 1st Monday of the month at 7:30 PM with special meetings and hearings set at 6:30 PM for years.
At best, the conflicting meeting schedule was an oversight by the Commissioners.
At worse, it is business as usual.
See it for what it is…
By now we have all heard about the big boondoggle called “The Great Homestead Mistake”. Yes, it is true, the Mayor does owe taxes. Ouch! Unfortunately, for the Mayor, it has been blown out of proportion.
She did file a quit-claim deed on her property, and apparently that is not enough information for the County to remove the homestead credit. After the HUGE property tax fiasco, we all got a refund from the State. Suddenly, 60+ properties were found to have more than one homestead credit.
It all has to be paid back. It should be paid back.
Now, here’s the fun part (you won’t find this in the newspaper). She also owned property in another county. That property was over-assessed, so more taxes were paid. State law says in the case over assessment, they are only allowed to refund you for 3 years.
It doesn’t make any sense when the State owes YOU there is a 3 year limit on your REFUND, yet if you owe the State…THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT.
I am glad the Mayor took the time to explain it all to us. She plans on taking this to the legislation.
Just another reason why the whole property tax system should be revamped.

Shares in European insurers and reinsurers fell sharply in early trading on Friday after Japan was hit by a massive earthquake, one of the biggest ever recorded.
The quake, which measured 8.9 on the Richter scale, hit off the northeastern coast and caused a 10-metre-high tsunami to hit the coast. There was little news on casualties but local media said four million homes were without power.
Large reinsurers — Swiss Re, Hannover Re and Munich Re — were all down more than 4 percent, off their early lows with detail still scant.
“It is too early to tell what the impact will be. The situation is still unclear and is fluid. We are unable to say anything at the moment. It usually takes one to two weeks until we can tell what the impact will be,” Tom Armitage, a spokesman for Swiss Re said.
“Japan is within the top 10 of our markets. Swiss Re generated a total of $688 million in life and non-life in Japan out of a total of $25 billion globally,” he said.
British, French and German insurers were also among the casualties in early trade, with Aviva down more than 2 percent, Allianz down 1.7 percent and AXA down 1.3 percent against a 1.8 percent fall in the wider STOXX Europe 600 Insurance index.
“The (insurance) sector is down slightly more than the overall market as the quake in Japan heaps more misery on a sector hit by the severe weather in the UK last year,” Mic Mills, head of electronic trading at ETX Capital, said.

The mobile-based livestreaming app Mobcrush has raised $20 million in Series B funding.
The Los Angeles-based production company Evolution Media led the round. This brings Mobcrush’s total funding to $35.9 million since its founding in 2014. Live-streaming is a key part of the growing esports market, which Newzoo projects will earn $1.1 billion in revenues by 2019. The PC and console-based Twitch (which has over 100 million viewers a month) is the most popular site for streamers, but Mobcrush could take advantage of the $36 billion mobile games market. The most popular games broadcasted on the platform include mobile hits like Minecraft, Vainglory, Clash Royale, and Pokémon Go.
Mobcrush plans to use the funds to continue building its mobile streaming platform, which it says currently has 1 million active users, although we do not know how many viewers it has a month. It will also use the money to hire more engineers.
“Mobcrush is a technology and entertainment company at the epicenter of mobile gaming, live streaming, esports, and the creator-driven media revolution,” Mobcrush founding chief executive officer Royce Disini said in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “No other company makes it as easy to live broadcast your mobile screen, whether it’s on an iOS or Android device. This additional investment will enable us to exponentially expand our community of content producers and viewers globally.”
The company touts that its app, which is free for iOS and Android devices, allows players to begin streaming with a single tap.

It didn't take long for the first huge upset of the NCAA Tournament. The (13) Morehead State Eagles, led by Kenneth Faried toppled Rick Pitino's (4) Louisville Cardinals. Faried, the NCAA's all-time rebounding leader, had 12 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Eagles to the shocking second round victory.
Morehead State led for much of the first half before Louisville, led by Chris Smith, came roaring back to tie it at halftime. The game remained close for all of the second half, as the underdog Eagles played Louisville tough all afternoon. Morehead State was relentless on the glass. Faried had 17 rebounds and Terrance Hill added 8 of his own to go along with his game-leading 23 points. Overall, the Eagles outrebounded Louisville 36-27 including 14-6 on the offensive glass.
The Cardinals led by 2 with ten seconds remaining. Morehead State's Demonte Harper then hit a 3 pointer with 4.2 seconds left to take the lead. Kenneth Faried then blocked Louisville's buzzer beater attempt to clinched the upset. The first big shocker hopefully marks the first of many as March Madness is now in full swing.

14 Awesomely Bad Horror Movies Available on Netflix Instant
Basically once Labor Day has passed, we spend our time gearing up for Halloween, which means apple cider, carving pumpkins, and loads and loads of terrible scary movies. The only problem is that there are bad scary movies and then there are *bad* scary movies, and the only way to tell the difference between the two usually involves sacrificing 40 minutes or so of your life.
We decided to spare you the time and put together a list of our favorite awesomely bad scary movies that are available to watch instantly on Netflix (we secretly think some of them are just awesome). So now you pretty much have the rest of October planned for yourself. Here are clips and trailers for our choices. Remember these are "scary" movies, so it's safe to assume NSFW.
Until recently we assumed everybody's already seen this movie, but it turns out that's not the case (which sort of explains our lack of childhood friends). So we put it at the top to make sure it gets watched, because it is a movie about Killer clowns from outer space, and you don't know the meaning of ridiculous until you see somebody get murdered by a balloon animal.
Another childhood favorite, this one has not lived up to the test of time quite as well as we hoped it would, although it is certainly better than the other 'Children of the Corn' movies, which are also available on Netflix if you're that kind of person. Although if you want to watch an entire series of something, all of the 'Hellraiser' movies are on Netflix, and that will steal waaaay more of your time.
It's a valley girls versus comet-induced zombie apocalypse. It's got '80s-style shopping scenes! And zombies! Definitely worth a watch.
It's hard to say if this movie is enjoyable, or if it's just enjoyable to wince at Billy Zane, who must be so, so embarrassed about this one. 'Demon Knight' also stars Dick Miller, who is used to such humiliation. But poor Billy. Hey, maybe this was the part that landed him 'Titanic.' Right? That makes it seem better.
The fourth (seriously) installment of 'The Crow' series features Edward Furlong as the Crow. And, if that's not enough, it's also got Tara Reid, and David Boreanaz as a guy who becomes the devil. But most importantly, it's got Dennis Hopper as a street pimp who calls women "shorties" and is named El Niño. This is definitely more on the "bad" side than the "awesome" side of things.
Alright, so they don't have 'Blacula,' but that doesn't mean that Netflix doesn't have the sequel. If you're a big fan of blaxpoitation or at least Pam Grier, and somehow you haven't seen this already, now is definitely the time.
'Parents' was Bob Balaban's directorial debut and features Randy Quaid doing what he does best. Acting crazy. It's a little more subtle in this movie than in real life, but his kid is definitely right when he starts thinking something is slightly off about his parents.
We can't all have always been Magnum, P.I. For example, Tom Selleck had to do 'Daughters of Satan' first. Look at that mustache run!
This year, why not watch Donald Pleasence in something other than 'Halloween'? Not 'Escape From New York.' Not 'Escape to Witch Mountain.' No escaping! 'Raw Meat,' AKA 'Death Line' features Pleasence doing what he does best -- investigating. This time it's cannibals in the London subway tunnels!
You don't very often see a film about how tough male witches are. This movie is probably why. Also, the prevalence of Manwich as a popular and convenient dinner could have something to do with it. But mostly this movie.
Maybe this is technically more of an action movie, but it's got a swamp monster and was directed by Wes Craven, and it's entertaining, so we say watch it. Also, do not confuse it with the TV series. Never, ever do that.
If you like to shake your head emphatically back and forth while shouting, "Henry Fonda NOOO! WHYYYYYY?!" then 'Tentacles' is the movie for you. It's like 'Jaws,' but with an octopus instead, and yes we know that's not the same thing at all, but hey look is that John Huston? Yes. Yes it is.
There's no stronger example of the original being better than the sequel, and this movie's not even that good to begin with! If you've only seen the sequel, the two don't really have anything in common. Except for trolls. There are trolls.
If you *haven't* seen 'Troll 2,' there's no time like the present. Just so you know, it really is as bad as this clip makes it seem like it is. In fact, it's worse. It's pretty amazing. Do it.

Part of the global industrial conglomerate Siemens AG, Lincoln-based Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery designs and manufactures industrial gas turbines, exporting over 80% of production to a worldwide customer base.
Adrian Toyne Manufacturing Operations Manager explains that “by the time that production issues were flagged in our ERP system, operators had moved on to other tasks, making problem identification difficult. Although built around common cores, each industrial gas turbine project is unique, typically involving an order of between one and twenty gas turbines, each configured to customer requirements with one hundred or so major sub-assemblies, and a bespoke turbine control system.
This particular plant’s assembly operation is capable of working on ten industrial gas turbines at once, along with orders of spare parts and sub-assemblies. A typical customer order equates to more than 1,000 standard hours of work per unit, although spare parts orders can consume as little as 15 minutes.”
The problem faced by the plant? Principally, explains Toyne, a persistent gap between targeted efficiencies and actual achieved efficiencies. “We’d spent two years making improvements in our operations, trying to bring our efficiency levels closer to the target,” he relates. “Everyone appeared to be hard at work, and there were no obvious flaws in the standard times. Yet still the efficiency gap remained.”
Moreover, he adds, there were issues with how the plant recorded those actual hours that had been consumed. Operators’ times on jobs were first of all manually entered onto timesheets, and then subsequently typed into the plant’s SAP ERP system. Worse, this manual booking of actual hours into the SAP system provided insufficient granularity into production tasks and problems. As a result of its focus on charging work content to individual customer orders, the system took a costing-centric view of hours worked, as opposed to providing information which would be helpful to factory-floor management pursuing a continuous improvement agenda.
In other words, says Toyne, when operators were unproductive, it was difficult to discover why, so that preventative measures could be put in place to avoid a reoccurrence. “The lack of granularity, coupled to the time delay, made it difficult to see the cause of any problems,” says Toyne. “By the time that production problems were flagged in the ERP system, operators had moved on to other tasks, making problem identification difficult. In a business which had begun its lean manufacturing journey, we had critical gaps in our basic understanding of what was going on.”
At which point, he relates, Siemens’ plant management read about the MESTEC manufacturing system in The Manufacturer magazine. Might MESTEC’s factory-floor data recording terminals be a way of closing the gap? Toyne set about finding out. Talking to MESTEC, a solution very quickly emerged. A pilot using MESTEC’s hosted SaaS solution allowed Siemens to try MESTEC with no demands placed on Siemen’s busy IT department. The pilot was able to quickly demonstrate the value of the MESTEC manufacturing system in helping Siemens to tackle the issues that it was facing.
“Increasingly, our sales model involves customers trying out the MESTEC system for themselves, leveraging the ease with which our hosting platform can accommodate new users,” explains MESTEC Managing Director Jeremy Harford. “Not only does this tend to be faster than a traditional sales cycle in terms of customers ultimately deciding to move to a MESTEC manufacturing system, but the results demonstrated by a pilot project typically provide an added impetus to full plant-wide implementation.” Accordingly, the pilot project began.
Very quickly, some surprising answers became evident. Straightaway, for instance, it was clear that the plant’s SAP system and the MESTEC system were producing different efficiency figures—with the MESTEC figures being closer to what plant management believed was the real situation. “We discovered that the definition of ‘good hours’ in our SAP system excluded set-up times,” says Toyne. “That single discrepancy accounted for seven percentage points of the difference that we were seeing—and no one knew. Yet we’d been beating ourselves up over it for two years.”
Another significant finding: despite operators’ belief that works order standard times were more or less correct, there was indeed a degree of underestimate, typically of around 11%. “Everyone appeared to be hard at work, and there were no obvious flaws in the standard times. Yet still the efficiency gap remained.” And again, the MESTEC system proved its worth in providing detailed analysis of non-value adding time. The time taken in rectifying non-conforming items received from suppliers, for instance, had been estimated to account for 5% of actual hours.
But in fact, the real figure was closer to 10%—and being able to flag it in real time, rather than on paper systems, meant that it was much easier to then recover the cost from the external suppliers involved.
The combined effect of all these findings, sums up Toyne, was to rapidly close the gap between targeted efficiency and actual efficiency. Very quickly, Siemens management realised that there was a solid business case for extending the pilot right across the operations area—and in the process, formally integrating MESTEC with the plant’s IT infrastructure including SAP.
As a result, Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery went fully live with MESTEC’s manufacturing system. The plant elected to remain on MESTEC’s award-winning hosting platform, sums up Toyne, but dispensed with 3G wireless connectivity in favour of a fully hard-wired connection to MESTEC’s servers.

The Right Info About Vitamins And MineralsHave you been asking yourself how vitamins and minerals could provide you benefit? Do you wonder if your health issues could be alleviated through supplement use? Do you want to learn more on the topic, but don't know where to look? This article has all of the answers you seek!
If you are lacking a particular vitamin, it is probably best for you to add that to your diet instead of taking a multivitamin. While there are many different vitamins and minerals in these pills, most of the time the level of particular vitamins is not as high as we need. Buying a single vitamin would be more effective.
Vitamin C is one of the most beneficial vitamins that you can take. It promotes tissue growth, reduces cancer risks, helps with blood cell formation and quickens the healing process. Broccoli, peppers, oranges, tomatoes, and a wide variety of other foods are all rich in vitamin C. You can also take a supplement that contains vitamin C.
To boost the resiliency of your body, try taking flax seed oil and turmeric. Both of these can help reduce inflammation in the body. They can also protect you from illness. There are oil blends of the two that are known to help the joints, along with bettering brain and heart health.
It is not a good idea to just buy a bottle of the cheapest vitamin/mineral supplement you can find on the shelf. Many of these supplements are made with chemical substitutes of the natural nutrient you need. Before you invest your money in any supplement, do your research so you can make a wise decision.
As many nasty air borne germs that lead to illness become immune themselves to our vaccination methods, the time is ideal to start adding vitamins to your diet. Vitamin C, E and others will often do more to fight off a cold or flu in some people than anything a doctor injects in our body so why not win the fight before it can even begin?
Although all vitamins and minerals are important, some are even more important for growing children. When planning your child's diet, make sure they are getting enough vitamins A, C and D, as well as the B vitamins. Calcium and iron are also very important for your growing children's bodies.
If you are planning a surgery, let your doctor know any and all dietary supplements that you are taking. Vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can all have adverse effects on your upcoming surgery. It is best to stop taking all supplements at least 2 weeks prior to surgery to avoid any dangerous complications.
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/beauty-products/a22736791/wellness-iv-services-trend/ on whole grain cereals for breakfast. Cereal is a great way to start your day and most are full of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. You will not only start your day with a great supply, but also give yourself a great energy boost. Avoid sugary cereals for best effect.
If you are trying to grow out your hair or nails, consider adding a Biotin supplement. While it won't make your hair or nails grow faster, it will make them stronger and more resistant to breakage. In fact, Biotin is often recommended to chemotherapy patients to help them regrow the hair that they lost during treatment.
When you are considering taking a dietary supplement, you should consider your total dietary intake and not try to use them as a substitute for healthy eating. Healthy eating is the best way to take in vitamins and minerals. If you feel that you are not eating right, try to change your eating habits before taking a supplement.
Do you already have some nutrient deficiencies? If you aren't sure, you need to visit your doctor for a blood test to find out. Whether it is B12 or calcium, knowing what nutrients you need to bulk up on will help you to quickly feel better than ever before.
Since it is important to get most of your vitamins and minerals from food sources, try to eat fresh food as much as possible. Do not heat these foods, as it will destroy essential nutrients. Cook fresh meals as often as possible and only make them when you are going to eat them in that sitting.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, you may have to be careful which supplements you buy. Some items, such as protein powder, may come from animal sources, or the capsule could be made of animal gelatin. Buy vegan pills to ensure you stick to your dietary plan without any compromise.
If you are taking iron or zinc, be sure not to take it at the same time as your calcium supplements. Calcium stops the absorption of the other two minerals when they are in the intestine together, and that defeats the whole purpose of taking those supplements. Just take them a few hours apart.
Increase the shelf life of your leafy green vegetables and help them retain their nutrients by storing them properly. Rinse off these foods when you bring them home from the grocery store. Shake off excess water and wrap in paper towels. Then store the leafy greens in a fridge storage container to prolong shelf life.
If you are dealing with stress or anxiety, consider taking a B Vitamin supplement. Not having enough B1 can leave you feeling irritable and tired. Increasing B2 and B3 can reduce the amount of anxiety you feel. A B12 deficiency often manifests itself as anxiety as well. You can find all the B Vitamins you need in a B-Complex supplement.
Add the "sunshine vitamin" to your diet. Vitamin D is called the "sunshine vitamin" because it comes from sunlight. Since click the up coming document avoid the sun because of cancer and health risks, they end up with vitamin D deficiencies. However, it's essential for absorbing and using calcium to maintain bone health. So, you should try getting at least 10 and 15 minutes of sun a day.
Swap out regular pasta and white rice for wholewheat pasta and brown rice. These two simple swaps can make a major impact on the amount of vitamins and minerals you take into your system. Many complain that these alternatives don't taste as good, but after eating it a few times, you'll likely not notice the difference anymore.
No matter if you're not getting folic acid or vitamin A, take the time now to increase your nutrients via supplements. There is fundamental advice here you can use to get going, but it is up to you to form a cohesive health plan and follow up with it. If you do, you're sure to start feeling wonderful.

On a recent evening, while the rest of the world was glued to the spectacle of bombs raining down on Baghdad, I found myself enthralled by the spectacle of a young man seated at a piano in the elegant paneled library of the Lotos Club. The occasion was a fund-raising gala for the Music Festival of the Hamptons, and the listeners-well-heeled men and women in evening dress-were not the sort to get sappy over one of Mendelssohn’s “Songs Without Words,” no matter how exquisitely delivered. But as the pianist, a young Israeli named Daniel Gortler, played the Song in D major, a Romantic miniature that rippled with straight-from-the-heart tunefulness, I felt a current of common feeling run through the room-a sense of profound gratitude that we were here together in a safe place.
Sharing great music may be the best way to cope with these bewildering, benumbing times. A few days after the Lotos Club event, I heard Mr. Gortler again, in a midday recital at Rockefeller University, next-door to New York Hospital. This time, many of the listeners were dressed in clinical white coats or surgical scrubs, but for the moment, they had left behind their labs and their operating rooms for the alternative realities of Beethoven (the Op. 110 Sonata), Mendelssohn (eight “Songs Without Words”) and Brahms (the Variations on a Theme by Handel). Mr. Gortler, a slim, buzz-cut man in his mid-30’s who lives in Tel Aviv and is hoping to make New York his home, brought these 19th-century masterworks to vibrant life, revealing qualities that are rare in today’s world of young, breakneck virtuosos. His thoughtful grasp of the works’ architecture reminded me of the late Claudio Arrau, and his ear for the noble, singing line reminded me of Arthur Rubinstein. As he traversed the peaks and plains of the Handel Variations, a journey requiring prodigious reserves of nimbleness and stamina, he demonstrated the power of a musical adventure to make the world’s great misadventures seem puny by comparison.
That evening, I attended the first night of the Met’s revival of Parsifal , which is more shattering of the here-and-now than any opera ever written. For as long as I can remember, Wagner’s sublimely garrulous Easter idyll has been James Levine’s most indulgently enjoyed whirlpool bath. I’ve grown impatient with Mr. Levine’s love of snail-like tempos, which seem calculated to give proof of his sovereign control over the magnificent orchestra he has built-and to show his uncanny ability to keep a musical behemoth afloat like a hovercraft whose engine is always on the verge of giving out. (His pulseless pacing of the duet that closes Ariadne auf Naxos , a few weeks ago, had me screaming silently for release, despite the valiant vocal splendor of Deborah Voigt’s Ariadne and Richard Margison’s Bacchus.) But this season, the figure on Parsifal ‘s podium was Valery Gergiev, who is mercury to Mr. Levine’s granite.
Mr. Gergiev’s cavalier disregard for punctuality, not to mention his idiosyncratic way of indicating a beat (“like a quivering stalactite,” a friend of mine describes it), reportedly drives the orchestra members nuts. (During a ragged Otello earlier this season, they seemed on the point of mutiny.) I’m told that Mr. Gergiev showed up late for the dress rehearsal of Parsifal , which began without him, under an assistant conductor. When he finally arrived, he glowered from a seat in the auditorium, then rose imperiously to relieve the pinch-hitter of his baton. On opening night, I sensed a certain tug-of-war in the pit-at the expense of the all-enveloping musical atmosphere which Wagner so ingeniously contrived. The silences during the Prologue were not pregnant ones, but pockets of dead air. Act I, which is devoted almost entirely to exposition, is difficult to keep taut under the surest of hands; as conducted by Mr. Gergiev, it proceeded moment to moment, without any sense of a grand unfolding.
Still, there were some marvelous stretches, notably during a beautifully rapt Act II in the Grail temple, and the cast was superb. In the title role, Plácido Domingo continues to astonish with the untarnished gleam of his heldentenor; and, as always, his dramatic conviction is unfaltering. At 62, though, he appears to be anything but an innocent young swan-killer-a creaky miscasting that only added to the grim datedness of Otto Schenck’s 12-year-old production, which is conceived not as a mystery play, but as a sequel to The Magic Flute . Violeta Urmana’s Kundry was piercing and true; Falk Struckmann brought a neurotic intensity to anguished Amfortas. But the show belonged to Gurnemanz: As the Brotherhood of the Grail’s resident sage, René Pape towered over the events with a bass voice of immense power, German diction that gave eloquent clarity to every gnomic utterance, and a force of personality so compelling that, for once, I allowed myself to ignore the anti-Semitic underpinnings of Wagner’s most “Christian” opera and toy earn whole- heartedly for the redemption of these Aryan knights. Once again, music-in this case, the distillation of Wagner’s supremegifts_as_a composer- trumped ugliness.
As it did, on a more gossamer level, at New York City Opera’s pretty new production of Handel’s Flavio . This seldom-heard work of 1723 offers a preview of Mozartean humanism in its tale of the triumph of love over squabbling fathers, aristocratic sexual exploitation and death by swordplay. City Opera mounted it like a candy box done up in 18th-century pinks and greens that would have looked right at home at a Palm Beach lawn party. I wasn’t consistently enchanted by the work of the young director, Chas Rader-Shieber, which ranged from aimless to delicious (notably, in the arrival of more tulips than I’ve ever seen onstage). Nor was I always delighted by the cast, which was led by two countertenors, David Walker’s sweetly ineffectual Flavio and Bejun Mehta’s effortful Guido, who offered passages of great beauty when he wasn’t veering wildly off-pitch. The brightly monochromatic Emilia of Jennifer Aylmer had similar problems. But the conductor, George Manahan, and the City Opera orchestra attacked one of Handel’s most felicitous scores with a buoyant gusto that was irresistible. At some point in the second act, I said to myself: “To hell with being a music critic-relax and enjoy it while you can.”

The German Police have raided apartments across Berlin and arrested three people on Tuesday, November 17 suspected of involvement in a jewel heist at Green Vault museum housing one of Europe’s greatest collections of treasures, officers said.
The thieves forced their way into Green Vault museum or Dresden’s Gruenes Gewoelbe, in November last year and got away with at least three sets of early 18th-century jewellery. According to reports, the stolen jewels were worth up to 1 billion euros ($1.19 BN).
Police were searching 18 apartments, garages, and vehicles for the jewellery and other evidence including digital data, clothes, and tools, mostly in the city’s southern district of Neukoelln, police said on Tuesday while adding that a total of 1,638 officers had taken part in the operation, which could cause serious traffic disruptions through the day.
Three Germans were arrested on suspicion of theft and arson, and will appear before an investigating judge later in the morning, the police said. The force said the arrests took place in different parts of the country, without going into detail. Security camera footage showed two men breaking into the museum through a grilled window in the early hours of November 25. Officers were on the scene five minutes after the alarm sounded, but the thieves escaped. All three were accused of serious gang robbery and two counts of arson, Dresden prosecutors said.
The robbers stole priceless 18th-century jewellery from the collection of Saxon ruler, Augustus the Strong. Items stolen included a sword whose grip is encrusted with nine large and 770 smaller diamonds and a shoulder piece which contains the famous 49-carat Dresden white diamond, Dresden’s Royal Palace had said after the robbery.
The collection was brought together in the 18th century by Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony and later king of Poland, who commissioned ever more brilliant jewellery as part of his rivalry with France’s King Louis XIV. The treasures of the Green Vault survived Allied bombing raids in World War II. They were returned to Dresden, the historic capital of the state of Saxony, in 1958. Meanwhile, Germany has been hit by several high-profile heists, with banks and museums frequent targets.

Thanksgiving Holiday Shopping Just Broke Records
Americans spent $11.6 billion online over the course of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, which is the highest number of online sales for the holiday ever.
Consumers were shopping on their smartphones this Black Friday, with a record-breaking number of online sales launching the holiday shopping season into full swing.
According to Adobe Analytics’ annual shopping report, Americans spent $11.6 billion online over the course of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, which is the highest number of online sales for the holiday ever.
Black Friday saw $7.4 billion of online sales, while Thanksgiving Day had $4.2 billion. They predict the entire holiday shopping season will surpass $140 billion of online sales — up 14% from last year.
The 2019 holiday season began later this year, shortening the shopping season by six days compared to 2018. Because of this, Adobe says consumers really packed in their shopping. Advertising for sales was also pushed earlier and more aggressively because of the short season.
Adobe says people have become more acclimated to making purchases on their phones, but larger purchases like electronics, furniture, and appliances were mostly saved for desktops.
Cyber Monday is predicted to have $9.4 billion of sales for 2019, up 18.9% from last year. The most popular items being bought throughout the weekend are Frozen 2 products, L.O.L. Surprise Dolls, Madden 2020, NBA 2K20, and Fire TV.
Brick and mortar sales were also up by 4.2% this year, with more and more people utilizing the option to order online and pick-up at the store, avoiding the long lines.
