Eight Irish universities appear on a list of the world’s top 1,000 third-level institutions published today.
The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) features eight US and two British universities in the top 10.
Trinity College Dublin is the Irish university closest to the top and is ranked 200th overall. University College Dublin ranked second in Ireland but 269th worldwide. University College Cork placed third in Ireland and 463rd on the list.
The other Irish universities on the list are the National University of Ireland, Galway (600), the Royal College of Surgeons (647), Dublin City University (819), the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (820) and the University of Limerick (944).
The US has 229 universities in the top 1,000, China has 84, Japan has 74, the UK has 64 and Germany has 55. Ireland and Greece have eight universities on the list.
The top 10 universities on the list are: Harvard; Stanford; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Cambridge; Oxford; Columbia; University of California, Berkeley; Chicago; Princeton and Yale.
The 2014 list is based on eight factors described by the CWUR as “objective and robust”. Education quality, alumni employment, quality of faculty, publications, influence, research citations, impact and patents all influence a university’s ranking.
Alumni employment, for example, is measured by the number of alumni holding chief executive positions in the world’s top companies relative to the university’s size.
Ned Costello, Irish Universities Association chief executive, warned the CWUR rankings should be “viewed with caution”. He said the recently published Higher Education System performance report provides a more accurate picture of Irish university performance. That report includes “very positive findings in relation to the employability of graduates and the strength of research and innovation outputs”.
Mr Costello argued that some of the measures do not accurately quantify the quality of Irish education. “For example, employment performance is defined as the number of alumni holding CEO positions in the top 2000 companies listed by Forbes magazine. In an Irish context, it probably matters more to the population at large that the unemployment rate of honours degree graduates six months after graduation is seven per cent (half of the national average), and down from 10 per cent in 2008,” he said.
Mr Costello also said highly-resourced institutions tend to fare better in international rankings. “Given the current trend of disinvestment by the State in higher education in Ireland”, the country is “swimming against the tide” in attempting to improve its performance in international rankings.
The complete list of CWUR’s top 1000 universities can be found at cwur.org.

The federal government has released their new cigarette warning labels, to be placed on the side of packs by October 2012.
Similarly graphic warning messages are already used in 40 other countries, and the FDA hopes to persuade smokers to cutback or quit altogether.
Will more graphic images cause you to quit or cutback?

Discussion in 'Headphones, Earphones & Portable Music' started by paulie12, Dec 15, 2002.
Just got myself a set of wireless headphone for a present. I really like them but I have a small concern. Are there any health issues? As it is using radio waves transmitted to the phones whilst on my head is it similar to using a mobile phone? As I wear them for long periods of time it just worries me.
As they are only receiving the radio waves and not transmitting does this make it safer.
There is no proven link between mobile phones and any health risk. Even if there is such a link that's because the phone itself is broadcasting a signal within a couple of centimetres of your brain that has to be powerful enough to reach a mobile phone mast anything up to a mile or two away. You're taking about standing several meters away from a radio source that is designed to have a maximum range of tens of meters. Simple inverse-square-law considerations should tell you that you don't have anything to worry about.
Unless of course the aliens use the signal to control your brainwaves.
Simple inverse-square-law considerations should tell you that you don't have anything to worry about.
Spot on! If only the public in general and particularly those complaining or protesting about local Cellphone masts would realise this .
I have given up explaining this to various non-technical acquaintances & NIMBY types.
(Yet I don't get complaints about my ham radio antennas - several of them transmitting at frequencies from 144 MHz up to 10 GHz on a 20 foot ploe emanating from a 30 foot mast).
What's even funnier is just how much electromagnetic radiation at all frequencies people are constantly bathed in without their even realising. By comparison the radiation from a mobile phone mast is trivial.
Interesting fact: when you fly across the Atlantic you absorb about as much ionising radiation as you would having a chest X-ray.
Oh right. Should have listened harder at school.
Thanks for your answers. I was slightly concerned that I was in effect strapping two mobile phones to my head for several hours a day. And yes - not proven yet as you say. I just want to make sure I won't be the one to prove it.
I shall listen in total reasurance from now on.
The inverse square law refers to the way that the intensity of a propagating wave (among other things) decreases with distance from the wave's source, assuming that the wave is spreading out in three dimensions. Intensity is defined as power per unit area (e.g. Watts per square meter). If you imagine sound or light or radio waves coming from a point and radiating outwards in all directions then the energy emitted at any one moment will occupy an expanding sphere. The surface area of the sphere is proportional to the square of its radius - the total area that the energy is spread out over is proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Thus the intensity of the signal falls off in proportion to the square of the distance from the source: twice as far away and the intensity divides by four, three times as far away and it divides by nine, four times as far away and it divides by sixteen, and so on. That means that if you go from a source that is one centimetre away from your head to one that is two metres away then the intensity of the radiation is reduced by a factor of 40,000. And the transmitter for wireless headphones is far less powerful than a mobile telephone anyway.
The other major factor in mobile phone radiation (apart from distance to source) is frequency. Mobile phones operate near microwave frequency. The magnetron in a microwave oven spits out a 2.450GHz signal to get the water molecules in your food all hot and bothered. Mobile phones now operate in this range (1.8GHz for PCM systems like Orange). Of course, the power levels involved are of different orders (750W for an oven, 0.3W for a phone). Your cordless headphones are operating at ~100MHz or 0.1GHz and at power levels lower than a mobile phone.
PS And in answer to your question, yes it does make a difference that they are only receiving the signal, but only because the transmitter is further away from you (hopefully) than the receiver, along the lines of what NicholasB was saying about distance.

Q: may i now how much interest 300,000 1-year time deposit of 300k?
Q: Is the 3 year CD rate available at the bank or only on line?
Q: Nope - - this is .10 percent or one tenth of one percent. Considering the rates of exchange and the fact that the Czech Koruna remains fairly stable against the US Dollar, you would yield very little with this account after accounting for currency transaction costs.
Q: I have 35,000 to invest in CD's for 5 years. What would be the amount of my monthly dividends?
Q: I'm from the USA, I would to open an online saving account in Ukraine. Is that possible and is there any protection? In the USA most banks are FDIC insure meaning your saving account is under protection, is it the same in UK?
R: Hi there. Will write to everyone here on board and to other future "same" comments. You dont need to worry about protection, top 3 of 10 banks owned by goverment, and other ones are foreing / private and too big to go down. Safe average rate is 15%~ btw. About opening account online, that's not possible for a foreigner, you need ID and other notarius papers that can be done in about 1~ hour, therefore you need fly to here. And last point is about safety and protection of deposits. Only 2 banks is protected PrivateBank that got nationalisted 7 months ago and OschadBank, but only up to 200k UAH. And here is strategy for or how to get off in 15%~ rates. >Fly here to open account. >Have a Friend that will help you with your language. >Keep eyes on currency, but it's in last 2.1 years it's only changed in 1-3%~ so pretty much nothing. And that's it. But keep in mind, that we have also govermental bonds with safe 15-20%~ rates. Here is Ukranian sites where you can look up highest intreset rates of bank deposits and also gov. bonds. http://minfin.com.ua/deposits/ - Deposit rate. https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/ukraine-government-bonds - Gov.Bonds. And yes, you welcome! Asyf. Disclaimer, not an adviser, do your due dilligence.
Q: Are these marketable prior to maturity? If so what is the downside to selling before maturity?
Q: can 10 year 2.80% CD be sold before maturity? If so, what is the downside cost , if any?
Q: What is required to open a personal checking account in the Phillipines? Is there a minimum opening amount and minimum existing balance? Can I make account transers from my US account and have a 3rd party who has a debit card in Phillipines to make withdrawals out of the account? Thank You, Allen F.
Q: Can Christian US Citizens become residents of Uzbekistan safely? I would deposit $100,000 and hope to live off interest, but what are the tax liability in UZ for interest income? I know there was a city hosting a big conference recently and have a good background in epidemiology. And problemsolving.
R: Dear Mila Yes you can become resident in Uzbekistan safely. Uzbekistan is multicultural and multireligion country. We have churches, synagogue and mosques. Regarding tax is not tax in Uzbekistan for earned interest on deposits in banks. But you need to get visa first to come into Uzbekistan and buy property for some amount to get residents permits in Tashkent.
Q: If I open a 6 month CD, and have to withdraw the funds before 6 months can that be done and if so what, if any, is the penalty for early withdrawel?
Q: What is interest rate on 4,000 dollars?
Q: Please can you tell me about Loan from KBZ bank or any bank in Myanmar?

It’s almost here it’s almost here!
I actually don’t care what you think about patriotism, and does it seem this year especially that patriotism seems a little…off…somehow? I don’t know, maybe I’m just friends with the wrong people on Facebook and they’re clouding my vision. Or I’m in a bad mood. Who knows.
This weekend we just need a burger, though, right? I actually think I have zero burgers coming to me this weekend, which is a shame, but I had these last weekend so I got my Fourth burger (not to be confused with…eating 4 burgers) ahead of time. Christmas come early!
And you need to make these. Seriously. They aren’t crazy fancy because I’m into plain things on holidays and jacked up things other times of the year, but the garlicky mayo is juuuuuust different enough that no one will be able to accuse you of making frozen burgers with no flavor. Not that there’s a thing wrong with frozen burgers. The key here is the meat seasonings, which are pretty strong and spicy and just GOOD, something else I think is really necessary in a turkey burger because ground turkey otherwise can be kind of flavorless.
You’ll need ground turkey, onion powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper for the burgers. Then the mayo takes garlic and onion. Then we need buns, clearly, swiss cheese, lettuce, and onion. I LOVE tomatoes but sometimes find that they get in the way of other flavors, so I left them off of this burger. Add them if you’d like to your array of toppings!
First, we’ll make the mayo. Grate the garlic directly into the mayo, add a pinch of salt, and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir. Done! I love this.
Then, we’ll work on the burgers. Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat with some olive oil, preheat the broiler to high, then add all the spices to the ground turkey.
Mix everything all together, then form nice big patties with your hands – use your thumb to press the sides in (kind of like making a wall) so that you can have a really sturdy burger.
When the skillet is really hot, place the burgers in the pan and wash your dang hands.
Now, while the burgers are cooking (they’ll need 5 minutes or more per side), toast the buns, slice the onion, and do any other topping prep that you need to do.
Flip the burgers, then when they’re nearly cooked through top each one with some of the cheese.
Broil the burgers for 1-2 minutes in the skillet, just until the cheese melts. Then, prep your serving area! Honestly that garlic mayo can go on just about anything.
Then, grab an ooey gooey burger.
And my patriotism is back, y’all.
Combine the mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small dish. Set aside until ready to serve (in the fridge if you make this well in advance).
Toast or broil the burger buns lightly.
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Preheat the broiler to high. In a bowl, mix the turkey meat, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and generous amounts of salt and pepper with your hands. Form into 2 patties.
When the oil in the skillet shimmers (usually about the time you've finished making the patties), add the burgers and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Top with the cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese.
Assemble the burgers: spread garlic mayo on both sides of the bun. Add sliced onion and lettuce, top with a burger, and serve!

Is the "30 good messages" an approximation in order to get the "1,000 good words" that the Bayesian setup screen mentions, or is this an additional (possibly undocumented?) requirement?
It was around 30, I don't remember the exact number. I picked out specific messages that I thought were good examples of legit mail that I get: personal correspondance, emails that mention my business, etc. After 30-40 emails, the Bayesian filters said they were then on. Things have been great since.
OK, it sounds like you hit the 1,000 word mark after about 30 messages -- it could have been fewer if you had classified long messages, and it might have been more if you had classifed really short messages.
I went back and switched to poco's Bayesian filters again. Turned off the default filters. My accuracy is getting better. I would also agree it is probably in the >98% range. I was actually going to start using popfile again after using yahoo's bayesian filtering which is very good. I got popfile all set up but for some reason popfile was hanging frequently and decided to do pure poco. I still think the implementation is overly complicated. All these options to train/untrain messages along with some methods such as moving by hand accomplishing these tasks automatically. In either case it does work.
Thanks to everyone for their input. I've personally decided to stick to K9, if for no other reason, for the simplicity involved. The goal is to filter away as much spam as possible. If a utility does that as well as or better than another and takes much less effort on my part to do so, that's my choice. I find no need to make spam filtering a personal challenge or obcession. I pretty much discovered with a mailserver that filtering with content control, rules and dnsbl's etc. can become extremely time consuming. I enjoyed this thread.
I think some of these issues with accuracy vs. K9 or PopFile has something to do with new words. What does Poco do with new words? It's my understanding that PopFile just ignores them completely. My accuracy is at 91% and I notice that the emails that gets through are the ones with random words where as with popfile I remember this stuff generally getting trashed.
FWIW: I used K9 and found it the very best of all of the spam filtering apps.
I had to abandon it because of the way it interacted with Polcomail as regards mid sized and large attachments.
I am 'happy' with Pocomail's filtering but it is aparent that it is not nearly as effective as K9.
I hope that Slaven devotes quality time to it's improvement however, as this is a key area in Email nowadays.
I agree completely about it being a key area. As long as poco's Bayesian filter can get about lets say 96-97% I'll be happy. If popfile or k9 are 1% above that it's not enough that I would even notice. The reason I like PopFile vs. K9 is that with PopFile I can open the message that got misclassified from within popfile and reclassify it. With k9 you need to go to k9 and find the message. In either case PopFile seems to have the same problem as K9 of getting stuck with larger emails which is a real pain.
On the what-POPFile-does-with-new-words question. My recollection from reading about how POPFile works is that it assigns never-before-seen words a probability equal to 1/(10*Corpus Size).
Saoir, my experience has also been that K9 is the best of the Windows spam filtering apps.
I wish the old forum had not been "lost". I would have liked to have read your thread on difficulty with K9 with large files. I have not experienced any difficulty with larger files.
"By default K9 will examine all emails however large they are. Because it can take time for an email to first be downloaded into K9 and then passed on to the email program some email applications timeout or complain, despite K9 sending "keep alive" messages to keep them awake.
should select the "Don't filter messages larger than..." option on the Configuration page. With this enabled, emails larger than the specified size will pass right through K9 without delay and will not be examined."
It's extremely rare that a spam mail is very large at all.

This is also true of Anti-Virus software.
So the larger the corpus the less probable a word is of being bad?
SFCurley wrote: On the what-POPFile-does-with-new-words question. My recollection from reading about how POPFile works is that it assigns never-before-seen words a probability equal to 1/(10*Corpus Size).
I think it applies that rule to both the good and bad corpi, so if the word is in neither good or bad corpi, then the probability of that word being bad is (1/(10*bad corpus size)) and probability of it being good is (1/(10*good corpus size)).
If the word is already in good corpus but not in bad coropus, it's good probability is calculated normally using the actual corpus info, and bad probability calculated as above.
The logic makes no sense to me. The larger the difference between the corpus the more it swings it in one direction or another. A really large bad words corpus and a small good words corpus would make it swing towards being good. I would think you would want it to do the opposite. The logic being that most words you receive are bad, not good.
POPFile assigns a probability to every word, for words that it has seen it naturally assigns the probability from the corpus. For unseen words it assigns the probability 1/(10 * size of that bucket's corpus)---i.e. a probability that indicates that the word is "unlikely" to appear.
The other possible choices are 0 (which would screw up classification since all classifications would be 0) or 1 (which would be a mistake since it would indicate that the word always appears).
long time ago I investigated different values for the unknown word and determined that what we have is the most efficient.
Which is what I believe is the reason that my accuracy improved when I took all the "junk" words out of my spam bucket (about 75% of the word count was random letters not even words).
It made new "spam words" less "unlikely" ...if you will.

1 How to choose the right vintage omega watches?
2 What are the materials of vintage omega watches cases?
Our life flooded gadgets. They are practical and functional. Perform a lot of functions for which previously it was necessary to carry with them a lot of things. In the phone we now have a camera, a flashlight, an audio player, a radio and a whole bunch of other tools. Also, many gadgets show useful information. We are shown the weather, information about the number of our steps and just time. Surprisingly, people did not stop wearing vintage omega watches along with their gadgets that also show time. What is the reason for this? Although watches have lost their property as a source of information about time, they have remained an indispensable accessory. Watches can tell about a person more than himself. They express the character and lifestyle of the owner.
How to choose the right vintage omega watches?
They should be combined with your image. Do not wear business style vintage omega watches if you went for a run. It will look ridiculous. It is desirable to have several types of vintage omega watches for each case. But if your finances do not allow, then there are many universal models. You should not chase the fashion, the main thing that you like, and fashion changes with each season. Watches are quite individual. A model that suits many people may not be suitable for you. Decide on the right size. The large dial is suitable only for the wide arm, at the same time the size of the strap is also very important. Do not chase after brands. The main property that you are looking for is quality. Find the best value for yourself with their relationship with price. There are a lot of watch models, you can select them depending on your profession. Maybe you need waterproof or heat resistant. Decide on your image and then pick the right vintage omega watches is not difficult.
What are the materials of vintage omega watches cases?
Watches are made in various materials. The price will depend on its quality and durability. For example, the most durable vintage omega watches are made of stainless steel or titanium. Many different alloys are offered on the market. Not rarely use expensive resources. Such as gold, platinum or silver. The price of such vintage omega watches is very high, and the prestige of this increases. Dials are often made of mineral glass. For impact resistant sapphire glass is used. Functionality also depends on the material, so you should pay attention to it.
Watches are divided by type depending on their application. What style you wear will depend on which event you wear your watch on. For a daily hike to work or just relax in your yard, you can use everyday vintage omega watches. Their main characteristics are simplicity and convenience. Looks like a sports watch. Which also have such properties, but also more functional. Often, such vintage omega watches will be water-repellent, they will have an additional chronograph and chronometer. Their weight and size will be minimal so as not to interfere with sports exercises.
Classic vintage omega watches is an element of business style. They will not have extra details and functionality. Simplicity and elegance in design so as not to distract from business. Opposite them are representative vintage omega watches. This is a watch of high quality and high image. Their main goal will be to impress others. They have a high price, but it is justified by the uniqueness of the materials and design.
Complement your image with suitable vintage omega watches and enjoy pleasant compliments from your comrades.

FreeNAS 8.0.1 has been released and is now available to download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.1/.
Django has been updated to 1.3.1 to address multiple security advisories.
A New button to zpools that will display zpool status in a tab.
Divorced the volume members in the database from the FreeBSD devices.
Support exporting ZFS zvols (virtual devices) as device extents via iSCSI.
8.0 was only able to export physical device nodes or file based extents.
The GUI now has an event notification system.
Added rsync client and server functionality.
Added the ability to schedule cron jobs in the GUI.
Vastly improved and reworked snapshot replication.
iXsystems are preparing to release FreeNAS 8.0.1 and have released the planned final beta. Beta 4 addresses several fairly significant bugs in Beta 3, adds OS X 10.7 compatibility and ups the minimum installation device size to 2 GB.
ACLs and UNIX file system permissions work properly on both UFS and ZFS volumes. Because the ACLs needed by windows and UNIX are mutually exclusive the GUI now prompts for which system you will be using and sets permissions appropriately.
Changes to link aggregations which resulted in a regression in functionality have been reverted. There was a workaround to the issue in BETA3. A migration has been added to the system to clear the workaround. If you are upgrading from something other than BETA3 you don’t need to do anything. If you are upgrading from BETA3, and BETA3 broke your link aggregations BETA4 will fix things. If BETA3 broke your link aggregations and you applied a workaround the migration should revert the workaround and things will work properly. If upgrading to BETA4 causes link aggregations to stop working the best solution is to delete and recreate them.
BETA3 completed the change from hard wiring device names in the database to using identifiers. iSCSI device extents were not changed properly. This BETA addresses that issue.
A method was accidentally deleted from the middleware that prevented smartd from running. This has been resolved.
ZFS snapshots are now exported to CIFS shares and are visible in windows as shadow copies. How you access these varies between windows version.
Many improvements have been made to replication that increase it’s speed and robustness.
The CD upgrade now preserves all of /data instead of select files.
Fix a bug in the graph generation script which would allow the graphs of deleted volumes to persist.
Fix a bug in UFS volume creation, where newly created UFS volumes would only show after a reboot.
Add tmux to the system. Just like GNU screen in functionality only BSD licensed and actively maintained.
Add dmidecode to the system. This can provide very useful hardware diagnostic information.
Updated the version of Intel NIC drivers to handle Intel’s latest round of hardware.
Add support for Marvell MX2 SATA controllers, sold with some WD 3TB drives.
Packt Publishing, the publishers of paper and electronic books, includingLearning FreeNAS, has announced that it has made donations now totalling over $300,000 to open source projects. Since starting to make such donations in 2004, the company has helped support over 70 different open source projects.

From Soho Pink and Brown to Green Camo Bedding Sets our teen bedding section has the styles that will make even the most fickle teenager want to jump on the bed again! Our bedding sets for teens are more than just cloth and thread but a promise from Beyond Bedding that you will be satisfied. From our cute and soft crib bedding to our unique toddler bedding, Beyond Bedding has the value and quality that will fit your budget and comfort your child. All of our unique themed designs such as our popular Zebra teen bedding is custom designed by quality brands such as Sweet Jojo Designs. Our Teen Bedding sets will fit your teen's twin or queen sized mattress and will instantly add life and vigor to any room. We understand that searching for bedding sets for teens is a tough process as our not-so-young children seem to know "everything" including what is cool or not. But relax and shop with confidence because you won't find a more stylish and modern selection anywhere. And you thought we were only the industry leaders in baby bedding, bed in a bag sets, and hotel bedding! So out with the old and in with the new with a great new teen bedding set today.
Is your teen still sleeping in a room fit for a kid? Even if you don't think so, chances are that your teen thinks it's time to upgrade the style of their room to fit their maturing personality. You might be able to get them a new teen bedding set at the local discount store and call it a day, but consider taking the time to look further than just the functionality of the bedding. Redecorating your teen's room helps mark their growth into young adulthood. Teenagers appreciate any outlet to express their individuality, and that even applies to their bedroom. By giving your teenager the chance to redecorate their room, you will allow them to assert some independence and creativity. Redecorating doesn't have to be a stressful project, read on to find out some advice on how to best redecorate your teenager's bedroom.
The fastest way to make a bold statement in any room and steer the direction of your style is to add some paint to the walls. A fresh coat of paint will give any room any instant boost, and, better yet, it's much more cost effective and time saving than attempting to wallpaper a whole room. Paint also gives you the greatest flexibility when it comes time for your and your teen to pick out the best teen bedding set for their decor. The wall color and the teen bedding you end up choosing will definitely have the biggest impact on the room, so finding complimentary colors is very import. You might consider looking around at bedding for teens first and then matching the paint to it.
If you and your teen can come to some agreement about their desk and bed, try to buy the nicest furnishings your budget allows, keeping in mind how the room will be used once they no longer need it. Then you can make the room more youthful by adding in splashes of color with colorful wall accents, lamps, window treatments and dramatically colored teen bedding. You can also easily find teen bedding sets that have matching accessories. If your teen still sleeps on a twin bed, you might want to consider purchasing a full or queen-size bed, especially if you plan on converting their room into a guest bedroom once they become independent. Then all you will have to do is switch out their teen bedding with something more understated for an easy room makeover.
You and your teen may not always see eye to eye on everything, so try to be flexible as you undertake a redecorating project. One way to help guide them in the right direction is to give them pre-approved options, so the final choice is still in their hands. And when it comes to decorating the walls, allow them to add personalized items like collages or bulletin boards. Sometimes, a teen's taste will exceed the budget, but if you allow them to add inexpensive items that reflect their personality, you both win. Beyond Bedding offers teen bed sets in an array of styles, with bright funky patterns and ultra modern color schemes, and all within a comfortable price range so you don't have to be concerned with overspending on something that maybe be replaced after a few years. Teen bedding often has lots of bold and bright colors, so a good rule of thumb is to select a wall color that is closest to the lightest color in the fabric to create a cohesive look.
If you take the time to discuss how our teen wants their room to look, and are willing to let them exercise a certain amount of control, redecorating your teen's room can be a great bonding experience. You will allow them to express their personality with their choices and get points in their book as a cool parent all in one step. Just remember to allocate your time and money towards the right things: place the most focus when shopping for teen bed sets and choosing a wall color. Spend money on investment pieces like furniture, and cut costs by purchasing inexpensive and colorful accessories to add youthfulness. If you keep these guidelines in mind, decorating your teen's room will be a completely painless process.

Asserting that there is no shortcut to success, President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said the country needs to invest heavily in education, research and innovation to claim its rightful place as an advanced economy in the world.
Speaking at an award function of NDTV to honour India's 25 Greatest Global Living Legends, the President said as has been rightfully pointed out India must have a rightful place in the community of nations as an advanced economy.
"But if we want to achieve that, we must at the same time recognise the fact that without advancement of education, research and innovation, we cannot achieve that," he said at the function to mark completion of 25 years by NDTV.
Mukherjee, who presented awards to 25 'living legends' including Nobel Laureates Amartya Sen and V Rama Krishnan and master batsman Sachin Tendular, said that while listening to the comments of the awardees, "I found out that one striking commonality in all of them that each and every one of them believes in hard work, honesty, commitment to the job.
"Therefore, what is needed today, what you can draw lessons from the outstanding performance of these 25 great Indians is that we cannot have a shortcut or bypass to achieve the success to reach the top," he said.
The President, who is a visitor to over 100 central universities, IITs and NITs, asked why India had been unable to produce any Nobel Laureate from Indian university after C V Raman in 1930s. "After C V Raman in the late 1930s of the last century, no Indian scholar, no Indian researcher working in an Indian university obtained a Nobel prize. Why?
"There is no lack of talented teachers, students but what we are failing in is to coordinate them, to give them the priority to create the atmosphere which can produce Amartya Sen, Venkat Rama Krishan, Har Gobind Khorana and many others," he said.

And so if there's a high pressure on the outside and a low pressure on the inside, it's just gonna push, that difference is just gonna push that moisture right through the wall. But when I have this sort of rain screen element it's essentially, effectively a pressure equalization chamber. What that's doing is it's creating a middle zone of pressure so that instead of having the full pressure difference from the outside to the inside I now have this internal middle ground space.

Executive Director Marcella Monk Flake of The Monk Center For Enrichment and Performing Arts during its Talented and Creative Youth Camp at Davis Street School in New Haven practicing a song and dance routine.
NEW HAVEN >> One city summer youth camp is building character and self-esteem through the art of dance and sign language.
The Monk Center for Academic Enrichment and Performing Arts opened its “Talented and Creative Youth Camp” earlier this month with campers participating from various parts of the city. The camp is housed at Davis Street Arts and Academics School with 30 students enrolled.
After 37 years of teaching in the district, Marcella Monk Flake, the center’s executive director, knew opening the center was her life’s calling. Flake, 60, said when she was growing up her parents were passionate about serving young people.
“I grew up in the Hill section of the city and there were eight siblings in my house,” said Flake, who added that her parents cared for foster children for more than 40 years.
“I watched my father be a father figure to children that were not his. They just loved on children in the community; that was their life work,” she said.
The camp originally launched last summer with 12 students and is an expansion of an after-school program started by Flake at Edgewood School.
The cost of the camp is $75 weekly for ages 5 to 14. The camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and ends July 28.
“We’re building positive self-esteem with children and providing them a different way of learning,” said Flake, who has a master’s degree in school counseling from Southern Connecticut State University.
“We’re encouraging a higher level of social-emotional development,” she said.
According to center staff, the camp’s curriculum is infused with the arts and creativity.
Some activities include dance, choral music, drama and creative writing. Other subjects taught by staff are African-American and U.S. history. “We let children know we didn’t start from enslavement,” said Flake, who spent most of her career as a teacher in the talented and gifted program.
Flake also holds a sixth-year degree in educational leadership and policy studies.
One highlight of the program for camp-goers is learning sign language.
Dance and sign language instructor Sharai Benton said campers get the opportunity to have another way of expression.
“We start students with learning the alphabet and greetings, giving them some insight on meeting a deaf person for the first time,” said Benton, 35, who’s been a professional sign language instructor since 2006.
“We’re having them stepping up and teaching them to not be afraid to communicate with someone they may have never communicated with like this before; we take this serious,”said Benton, who’s also a professional cosmetologist.
For Benton, learning sign language was personal. Her oldest sister has been hearing impaired since she was 10 months old.
Two to three of every 1,000 children in the United States are born with a detectable level of hearing loss in one or both ears, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents. About 15 percent of American adults age 18 and over report some trouble hearing, the website said.
With regard to dance, Benton said it’s a way to communicate emotions.
“A lot of our kids don’t know how to express and emote feelings and emotions, but here they get the outlet with sign, dance and singing,” said Benton.
First-year camper Kanyla Brooks, 13, said the camp is a judgment-free zone.
“I’m very shy. This program has helped more open up more — to sing, act and dance and to just be free to express myself,” said Kanyla, who attends Davis Street School and is a camp student leader.
For camper Tyler Fisher, 14, the program has taught independence.
“I’ve learned how to become more independent; I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and not being afraid to open up new doors to paths that interest me,” said Tyler, who attends Edgewood School.
He said the camp has a lot to offer.
“This program is unique. We learn dance and sign language while other programs I’ve been to they don’t offer that,” he said.
Tyler said he’s confident that he can communicate in sign if he encounters a hearing-impaired person in public.
“If I ever run into a deaf person, I know what to do, instead of being afraid or panicking,” he said.
Benton said for most students learning sign provides a sense of victory and personal achievement.
“It’s different for us, especially, when you haven’t encountered a deaf person,” said Benton.
Yet for her, “it’s like giving them a piece of me and exposing them to something new makes me happy to share it with them and the community.
For more information about the camp call 203-675-3155 or email [email protected].

With great power comes great responsibility. Regardless of whether or not a person is a Spiderman fan or even a fan of comic books in general, most people know that timeless line spoken by Peter Parker’s uncle Ben. It is also a piece of knowledge that would have served the founders of Image Comics well when they founded the independent comics company. That is evident in watching Shout! Factory’s new documentary on Image Comics The Image Revolution. While it is a documentary that centers mainly on the rise, fall, and re-emergence (of sorts) of Image Comics it is more than just a documentary about a comics company. It is a documentary about a business. That being the case, it is a presentation that will reach not just comic book lovers but even those with any interest and/or experience in the business world. That is the central element of program that makes it worth the watch. The manner in which the documentary was presented is another element worth noting. That includes the interviews with those that founded Image Comics and the comic book panel style transitions and the vintage footage incorporated into the documentary. Last but hardly least of note in this presentation is its bonus interview segments. The bonus material in question presents the interview material not included in the program’s main presentation. So basically they round out the documentary in whole. It’s one more part of the Image Revolution’s whole that makes it such an interesting watch whether one is a comic book fan, an artist, or a business person. Altogether, all three elements make The Image Revolution an early candidate for a spot on 2016’s list of Best New Documentaries.
The Image Revolution is an early candidate for a spot on 2016’s list of the year’s Best New Documentaries. The documentary’s subject matter is the main element that makes it such a worthwhile watch. The documentary’s subject matter centers on the history of independent comic book publisher Image Comics. It follows the company’s meteoric rise to fame (and that of the men that started the company), its fall, and eventual return to greatness. The story is one that will appeal not just to lovers of comic books and graphic novels but to artists of all types and even those with any interest and/or experience in the business world. It is not just a niche presentation despite its subject matter. It shows how a group of men working for America’s two biggest comic book companies left those companies in order to form a company that was to be the antithesis of those companies yet in its own way became everything that it stood against. In turn it ended up struggling to a point before enjoying a revival that has continued to this very day. Those that are lovers of comic books and graphic novels will appreciate the story of how far Image Comics has come as well as the collective story of the men that started Image and the titles that each used to launch the company. Those that are experienced in art in its various forms will appreciate the discussions on how each man started out drawing his respective title but then found himself growing away and relegating that duty in large part to someone else. Those that have any experience and/or interest in the business world will find interesting the very story of the financial irresponsibility of the company’s founders. That irresponsibility would of course serve as a lesson for each as the men grew both by themselves and together. Whether one focuses on the business aspect of the story, that of the men and titles that launched Image Comics, or the different art styles of each artist, there is something for a number of audiences. This is just one way in which The Image Revolution proves itself to be such a worthwhile watch and standout documentary. It isn’t the only element that makes it stand out so well either. The manner in which the documentary was presented is another important element in the whole of its presentation.
The story that lies at the center of The Image Revolution is in itself an important part of this documentary. It is a multi-faceted story that will reach more than just the obvious audience base. This is just one element that stands out in The Image Revolution’s overall presentation. The manner in which the documentary is presented is just as important to its presentation as the story at the center of the program. The program is presented through a mix of interviews with Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, and the rest of Image Comics’ founders, classic footage from the company’s vaults, and transitions presented in the fashion of comic book page panels. The interviews allow McFarlane and company to tell the company’s story in their own words. While each man chooses his words wisely, none minces words at the same time. Audiences will laugh as Rob Liefeld does his best impersonations of McFarlane from time to time. On another note, Jim Lee’s discussion on being asked to take part in Rob Liefeld’s removal from Image is just as interesting. Audiences can hear it in Lee’s voice and see it in his face how much it pained him to have to be part of that change. Savage Dragon creator Erik Larson and The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman have their own interesting anecdotes over the course of the documentary. Audiences will laugh as Kirkman reveals how he got Image to take a chance on The Walking Dead. That won’t be revealed here. That is because of its link (so to speak) to The Walking Dead series. Audiences will actually laugh at Kirkland’s ultimate revelation. At the same time, said revelation will keep audiences watching the TV series just as rabidly as a result. Erik Larson’s humility in discussing how he handled the fame and fortune early on and even later on is refreshing. It shows that he didn’t and hasn’t let any of what he does go to his head.
The interviews that are featured throughout the course of The Image Revolution’s eighty-three-minute run time are their own important part of the approach to the documentary’s presentation. The classic footage that is incorporated into the documentary adds even more interest to its overall presentation, too. It is clear that the footage was recorded via VHS camcorder. That is because it is obvious no attempt was made to clean up the footage. The footage in question features McFarlane and company at comic book signings that were jam packed with fans at every stop. There is also footage of how things went in the Image offices on an everyday basis along with much more. Audiences will love watching all of the vintage footage. It will transport viewers back to Image’s golden age and really serve to show how high things were for all involved at the time. At the same time, it helps to heighten the story as it advances. Speaking of that advancement, the transitions are just as important to the program’s presentation as its interviews and vintage footage.
The transitions that are used throughout the course of The Image Revolution might not seem like all that important of an element to its presentation. But believe it or not they are in fact quite important to its presentation. The transitions are presented as panels from the pages of a comic book right down to their animation. They serve a special purpose in the story. That is because they really increase the story’s emotion in both directions, thus keeping audiences fully engaged. Together with the interviews and vintage footage all three elements combine to make the presentation of The Image Revolution rock solid. Of course they are still not all that makes this documentary worth the watch. The extended interviews that are included as bonus material round out the documentary.
The approach that was taken in presenting The Image Revolution is in itself a powerful element in the whole of this new documentary from Shout! Factory. So much thought and work obviously went into its thorough presentation. That set alongside the documentary’s central story gives audiences plenty of reason to watch this program. As much reason as they give viewers to watch this documentary, they are not its only notable elements. The extended interviews that are included as bonus material round out the presentation’s positives. The interviews in question are, as labeled, extended. They feature more in-depth discussion than what is presented in the main body of the documentary. Liefeld, Lee, and Kirkland are all featured in the interviews. They discuss a variety of topics, too. From the success of AMC’s The Walking Dead to working on specific books and more, there is plenty for audiences to appreciate here. There is even a secondary set of interviews with those close to Image comics that adds even more interest for audiences. Those collected interviews combine with the work put into the documentary’s presentation and the documentary’s primary story to make a nearly ninety-minute presentation that comic book fans will love just as much as artists and even those in the business world.
Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy is the best new movie of 2014 hands down. This diamond in the rough is a solid answer to director Tim Burton’s recent declaration that he wanted to see a happy superhero movie. Given, the “guardians” aren’t exactly superheroes. But at a time when the fare offered by Marvel and DC has become increasingly dark and dominated by damaged, anti-hero figures, this movie shines as the antithesis of those movies. One part action and one part fantasy it is the breath of fresh air that the superhero/comic book genre has needed for some time and could not have come at a better time. The movie’s multifaceted script lies at the center of its success. The acting on the part of the movie’s cast is just as important to its success. And last but hardly least worth noting of the movie’s success is its collective look and feel. That includes both its backdrops and its special effects. The combination of all of these elements proves exactly why Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of this year’s best new movies if not the year’s best new movie. One can only hope that Marvel won’t abandon everything that made this movie great when its sequel comes along in 2017. Time will tell. Until such time, audiences will agree that this movie more than deserves a spot on any critic’s list of the year’s best new movies.
When Warner Brothers debuted its Tim Burton-helmed take on Batman in 1989, it proved to be something of an anomaly. No movie at the time or even before had taken the route taken by this movie. It was dark and brooding, just as Bob Kane had first envisioned him. It wouldn’t be until 2005’s Batman Begins that audiences would see the rebirth of the brooding superhero. Some will argue that 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise, which started in 2000, would qualify in that category. But that’s only because of the inclusion of one Wolverine. That being said, Batman Begins is to thank and to blame for what has become of the superhero/comic book genre. That being said, the debut of Guardians of the Galaxy is a breath of fresh air. It is the antithesis of those movies in every sense. And that is thanks first and foremost to the movie’s multi-faceted script. The script, crafted by James Gunn and Nicole Perlman, avoids every one of the trappings of the movies churned out by both Marvel and DC in recent years. One of those trappings is the brooding superhero approach used by both Marvel and DC throughout the studios’ ongoing competition. The script keeps the brooding to an extreme minimum with the extent of it being centered on Peter’s own thoughts of his mother’s death when he was a boy. The brooding on the part of Drax and Gamora on the loss of their own families at the hands of Thanos and Ronan is kept to just as much of a minimum. Because Gunn and Perlman keep the characters’ brooding in question, it allows for the movie’s related themes, jokes, and story to take center stage. The end result is a script that while hardly timeless is still one of the most entertaining to come along in a long time both within the superhero/comic book genre and within the action drama in whole.
Gunn and Perlman are more than deserving of applause because of the fact that they took the road less traveled in their script, opting to keep the story’s brooding to an extreme minimum. In comparison to the rest of the movies churned out by Marvel and DC in recent years, it really is the single most important factor of the duo’s script. It isn’t the only reason that the script works, either. The themes of family and friendship that the pair incorporated into the story are even more reason for applause. They go hand in hand with that lack of brooding. Throughout the course of the story’s script, Gunn and Perlman note the importance of family and friendship. Gunn and Perlman essentially tell audiences through their script that friends and family don’t have to be just like one another to come together. They don’t always have to completely like one another, either. They even go so far as to jokingly say through the quartet’s interactions that the least likely of friends and families can come together when one least expects it. This message is driven home in the movie’s final minutes, which won’t be given away for the sake of those that have yet to see the movie. It is something of a cheesy moment, given. But again in comparison to the previous releases from Marvel and DC, it’s a refreshingly cheesy moment. It’s yet another aspect of the Guardians’ script that makes the movie such a success. The jokes that are tossed around throughout the movie is yet another aspect of the movie’s script that adds to its enjoyment.
The contrast of the positive themes and overall lack of brooding in the Guardians’ script is a hugely important aspect of the script that makes it a success. The jokes that are tossed around throughout the script make it even more of a joy for audiences. Whether it be the jokes added to Peter Quill and Rocket Raccoon’s banter or the pop culture references used as jokes, or other jokes in general, Gunn and Perlman did an outstanding job in this area, too. The banter between Peter and Rocket is a laugh riot. Of course the acting on the part of Chris Pratt and Bradley Cooper respectively doesn’t hurt that banter and its jokes, either. It’s classic back and forth that audiences haven’t seen in a very long time. There are also plenty of pop culture references used themselves as jokes, including constant references to the hit 1984 Kevin Bacon starring vehicle Footloose. And Peter’s attempt at a dance-off in order to distract Ronan at one point (again that moment won’t be revealed here) is itself a reference to Michael Jackson if one watches closely. It’s one thing to use pop culture references in a movie or TV show by themselves to get laughs. But to use them as jokes (especially as running gags) is rather smart writing. There are also plenty of stand-alone jokes that will have audiences laughing along the way, too. The jokes in question aren’t right in audiences’ faces. But they are clear enough that there’s no missing them. Again, such placement is very smart writing. It still is not the end of what makes the script’s writing the key point of success behind Guardians of the Galaxy. Last but not least worth noting in considering the strength of the Guardians’ script is the story itself.
The story behind Guardians of the Galaxy is the last element of its writing that makes it the hit that it has deservedly proven to be. The reason that the story works as well as it does is its simplicity. It seems on the surface that there is a lot involved in the story. That is because of the amount of backstabbing that goes on. But the story, at its heart, centers on one fanatical madman’s attempts to destroy an entire race of people and their home world because of his own personal beliefs. It was used in J.J. Abrams’ recent reboot of Star Trek most recently. It’s a tried and true plot that has been used any number of times before in other action movies. And even here it still manages to work in its given setting. This is especially worth noting considering the story’s extra elements—the chase for Peter Quill and the Orb, Gamora backstabbing Ronan, etc. There is a lot of extra backstory that is thrown into the mix. That extra could easily have bogged down the central story. But even with two people handling the script, that didn’t happen, amazingly enough. Because those extras don’t bog down the movie’s central plot, said plot is that much easier to grasp and follow, thus keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. That, alongside the other noted factors that went into the script, shows once and for all why the movie’s writing makes it the best new movie of 2014.
A lot of work went into the writing behind Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The painstaking efforts that were taken to make this blockbuster stand out against its competition were not for naught, either. Rather it collectively paid off and then some. The acting on the part of the movie’s cast should not be ignored as a reason for its success, either. The acting on the part of the movie’s cast is just as much to thank for its enjoyment and success as the writing behind the movie. The constant back and forth banter between Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt makes for plenty of laughs throughout the movie. At no one point does the duo’s arguing feel forced. It feels entirely natural, which is what makes it so entertaining. Cooper’s portrayal of Rocket set against Vin Diesel’s Groot is just as funny. Both situations are classic comedy brought into the 21st century. Pro wrestler Dave Bautista’s own interactions with his cast mates on screen make for their own laughs, too as audiences will see when they watch the movie for themselves. One would be remiss to ignore Pratt’s own comic timing both by himself and set against the talents of others. Audiences will laugh uproariously at his comic timing when he distracts Ronan with his “dance off.” It’s yet another way that the cast’s acting makes Guardians of the Galaxy such a surprisingly entertaining work. Yet it still is not all that makes this movie so enjoyable, either. The movie’s look and feels make the movie even better. They collectively round out the movie’s positives and prove once and for all why any lover of action movies and the superhero/comic book genre will love this movie. Together with the cast’s acting and the movie’s overall writing, it proves once and for all why Guardians of the Galaxy is the best new movie of 2014.
It seems like almost every one of the movie spit out by Marvel and DC in recent years have become increasingly dark and gritty in their stories but in their look and feel, too. Thankfully Guardians of the Galaxy is the polar opposite of those movies in this aspect, too. It incorporates some dark elements in terms of its look and feel, yes. But there are also rather bright, colorful backdrops used throughout the movie. And thanks to all of the comic elements incorporated into both the movie’s script and the cast’s acting, the movie’s feel is just as colorful, light, and light-hearted. It is such a welcome change of pace from all of the movies released by Marvel and DC in recent years and even harkens back to the likes of Iron Man in its own interesting way. Not only does it have that same sort of light hearted, comedic feel, but it also has that same sort of playful edge about it, too. That mix of the movie’s fun feel and its balance of light and dark backdrops is perfectly balanced from the movie’s opening flashback to its final minutes. The end result of that mix leaves audiences wanting to see more in the best way possible. With any luck, Guardians 2 will have just as much of a positive look and feel. For that matter hopefully it will have just as solid a script and acting. If it does, then it will prove the success of this movie to be far more than just a fluke.
So much work went into bringing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy to life. And that work more than paid off. The movie’s multifaceted writing is its cornerstone. It incorporates themes of family and friendship that audiences of all ages will appreciate. It also avoids all of the brooding that has been a trademark of so many of Marvel and DC’s other previous releases. And the story itself is simple in every sense of the word. The acting on the part of the movie’s cast makes the movie all the more entertaining. It will leave audiences laughing nonstop from beginning to end. The look and feel of the movie is the polar opposite of so many movies that have come before, too from Marvel and DC. Each noted element makes Guardians of the Galaxy a memorable and entertaining movie in its own right. Together, they make it the single best new movie of 2014 fluke or not.
Independent movie studio Anchor Bay has crafted some of the industry’s most surprising and underrated movies since the start of the twenty-first century. Most recently, Anchor Bay was behind the moving human drama that is Unfinished Song and the more lighthearted romantic comedy Shanghai Calling. It was also behind the release of the equally under appreciated 6 Souls and Dark Skies. Now in 2014, Anchor Bay has released yet another impressive yet under appreciated movie to its ever growing stable in the form of In Fear. While it is an indie flick, In Fear proves to be yet another piece from Anchor Bay that holds its own against any of the major horror flicks and thriller features out there today. The primary reason for that is the movie’s writing. This includes its plot. Another reason for its success is the acting on the part of Iain De Caestecker (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures) and Allen Leech (Downton Abbey). And last but not least, In Fear works because of its cinematography and associated editing. All three of these factors together prove In Fear a work that will leave any open minded horror and thriller fan in happiness.
In Fear is not a major, big budget horror or thriller flick, obviously. What it is though, is a movie that any open-minded fan of both genres will enjoy. The main reason for this is the movie’s writing. The general plot starts out as one that has been done so many times before. Here, audiences see a young couple off on what is supposed to be a romantic weekend at a secluded hotel. But obviously, things eventually start to turn to the negative side of the needle for lack of better wording. This is where writer/director Jeremy Lovering takes the *ahem* high road (bad pun fully intended). It would have been so easy for Lovering to simply allow In Fear to descend to the dumbed down, overly violent level of so many major horror and thriller flicks from here. Instead, he kept the overt violence to a minimum by comparison. Where far too many major horror and thriller flicks fill their run times with unnecessary violence, blood and gore, Lovering has virtually eliminated those elements, using only what was absolutely necessary to help maintain the story’s grip on viewers. And the standard exploitative sexual content thrown in to those major motion pictures is totally nonexistent here. For that reason alone, Lovering deserves a lot of credit.
The minimized use of blood, gore and general violence and the complete lack of exploitive sexual content is just one part of what makes this movie’s writing work so well. Lovering keeps viewers wondering even after Tom and Lucy let Max into their car. Audiences have to admit that had they been in Tom and Lucy’s position, they too would be uncertain as to whether or not Max was good or bad. So any viewer that might like to claim the movie was predictable is proven wrong through this avenue alone. That unpredictability is heightened through the use of certain elements that also lead to some “a-ha” moments by the story’s end, too. Those “a-ha” moments illustrate even more the depth of Lovering’s writing in his script and in turn its enjoyment.
Jeremy Lovering’s script for In Fear is the cornerstone of the movie’s success. The acting on the part of Iain De Caestecker, Alice Englert, and Allen Leech serves to strengthen the movie even more. The trio is entirely believable in its acting. Caestecker and Englert expertly exhibit the growing tension and fear felt by any normal person lost in unknown territory. Given, the odds of being lost and hunted by an unseen predator of sorts are slim to nil in reality. But the fear caused simply by being lost in unknown territory is very real as is the general fear of the unknown. And Caestecker and Englert have made that fear all the more real through their acting. Any viewer will be able to relate to them as they watch the pair try to reach the Kilairney Hotel thanks to the seriousness with which the pair took its roles. Together with the script, this aspect of In Fear makes the movie all the more gripping and enjoyable for viewers.
The acting and writing behind In Fear both are pivotal to the success of the movie. There is still one more aspect of the movie that adds to its enjoyment. That factor is the movie’s collective cinematography and editing. Some of the best shots of the entire movie come as Lucy is looking out of the car, waiting for she and Tom to reach the hotel. Audiences see trees hanging ominously overhead as the sky slowly darkens. These are such subtle shots. But they are so powerful because they are so powerful. It adds to the feeling of tension and being trapped in an enclosed environment for extended periods of time. The way that editor Jonathan Amos (A.C.E.) transitioned the two shots adds so much by doing so little. Those behind the cameras are just as worthy of applause for the solid yet short shots of the figure that seems to be hunting Tom and Lucy. Audiences get just enough of a glimpse to know that there is something outside that car that doesn’t want the pair around. And the shots are just plentiful enough to add to the movie’s fear factor, too. Again, it shows the expert work of Amos and his co-workers behind the cameras. There are far more examples of how the cinematography and editing make In Fear a horror/thriller worth seeing. Audiences will find even more examples when they purchase or rent the movie for themselves on DVD and Blu-ray.
Whether for the cinematography, the editing, the acting or for the general writing, any open-minded fan of the thriller and horror genres will find plenty of reasons to check out this latest underrated and under appreciated release from Anchor Bay Entertainment. The movie is available now in stores and online. It can be ordered direct from Anchor Bay Entertainment’s website at http://www.anchorbayent.com/detail.aspx?projectID=2545b3bd-9d4b-e311-bba7-d4ae527c3b65.

Comic books are big business today. One look across the TV spectrum and through theaters in recent years shows just how massive a money maker it has become. The problem is that so many people today still think that comic books past and present are just that. Thankfully, PBS recently released a new documentary centered on comic books that proves that commonly held belief is completely wrong. It reveals just how closely comic books and everyday life have been ever since the first comic heroes hit the printed page way back in the 1930s. Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle follows the history of not just superheroes, but the comic industry from its earliest days in newspapers to its current era. It splits the history of the business into three separate segments beginning with its earliest days in 1938 to the present. Each of the three segments clearly explains how the comics industry and American society affected one another. Interviews with those that created some of the greatest superheroes to those charged with bringing those characters to life help to illustrate these stories, as does the inclusion of vintage video and audio showing the impact of the pair on each other. The interview segments included with the main feature are collectively a real bonus to the presentation. That is because audiences get to hear from great names such as Stan Lee, Linda Carter, and even Adam West as they expand on the topics raised in the main feature. Their thoughts are quite enlightening and make the documentary’s overall presentation all the more worth watching whether one is a comic book fan or not.
Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle is quite the documentary. Whether or not one is a comic book fan, audiences will appreciate it as it shows one more way in which art and real life can and do affect one another. It dispels the beliefs about the comics industry that have been held for far too long by those that are less knowledgeable about the industry. The entire documentary comes in at a total run time of roughly three hours. Those three hours are split in three separate roughly hour-long presentations. The first takes audiences from 1938 – 1958. The second takes viewers through some of America’s most turbulent years from 1959 – 1977. And the last of the three segments runs from 1978 up to the present. Over the course of each segment, viewers get an in-depth look at just how closely world culture and the comics industry are connected. One of the most interesting facts that audiences will learn is the uphill battle the comics industry has faced against the government from early on. Even as late as the late 1970s, the comics industry remained under fire from government bodies. Just as interesting is the seeming up and down trend that the comics industry has experienced from its earliest days. There is much more that audiences will be able to take away from each of the documentary’s three segments. Each viewer will find something for himself or herself when they order the DVD direct from PBS’ online store.
The information shared through each of the documentary’s three segments is in-depth and at times eye opening. But it would be nothing with the vintage video and photos to help illustrate the many subjects discussed within the course of each segment. Audiences actually get to see and hear former President Jimmy Carter voicing his negative opinion of the comic book industry. There is also footage of the classic Batman TV series starring none other than Adam West and Burt Ward as part of a discussion on its connection to the era in which it aired. There’s even a discussion on the most beloved of the Superman movies complete with footage from said movie, and footage of soldiers reading comic books during World War II. It shows collectively just how important the comic industry has been to America throughout the ages even in its lower points. It’s one more aspect of this documentary that viewers will appreciate regardless of whether or not they are comic book aficionados.
From the information shared throughout the whole of Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle to the accompanying video and audio footage, this documentary is another success from PBS. But no documentary would be complete without at least some bonus content. And this DVD more than offers that. It offers as bonus content, interviews with the likes of Adam West, Stan Lee, Linda Carter and others within the comics industry. Stan Lee shares his thoughts on how his characters came to be. One of the funniest moments is his anecdote about how students in a college level course were discussing the Silver Surfer at a deep philosophical level. Carter discusses the role of Wonder Woman in feminism. And West discusses the role that his Batman played in the country’s nuclear age and how that led to its campiness. As with the in-depth information shared throughout each of the documentary’s three segments, there is even more to discover from the bonus interviews. There is even a remembrance of sorts for animation legend Jack Kirby. That and so much more is contained on one disc that audiences can order now online from PBS’ online store at http://www.shoppbs.org/product/index.jsp?productId=23148226&cp=&sr=1&kw=superheroes&origkw=Superheroes&parentPage=search.

Shout! Factory has made quite the name for itself in recent years by releasing some of the twentieth century’s greatest TV shows and movies. Partnerships with variety of companies have resulted in the release of classic 90s Nicktoons and some equally beloved older movies including: The Producers, Swamp Thing, and They Live just to name a few. While many of Shout! Factory’s releases in recent years have been relatively well known to American audiences, there have been those releases that are far more obscure. Earlier this year, Shout! Factory partnered up with an Australian company to release the Dr. Who spinoff, K–9: The Complete Series. Now as the year winds down, Shout! Factory has partnered with British network itv to release another more obscure classic series in the form of Sapphire and Steel. Sapphire and Steel was a show well ahead of its time. An examination of its writing and production values proves this. A side-by-side comparison with the likes of Fox’s hit sci-fi series The X–Files and Fringe shows just how far ahead of time Sapphire and Steel was in its original run from the late 70s into the 80s. That comparison will prove in the grand scheme of things just how important Sapphire and Steel is today, despite its original short, roughly four-year run.
Sapphire and Steel was in its original run, one of very serials on the air at its time. Other than soap operas, most networks during the 70s ran very few primetime serials. This applies even with British television. That aspect alone puts Sapphire and Steel far ahead of its time. Putting it even far more ahead of its time is that despite audiences’ desire to compare the two, this series is nothing like its fellow British sci-fi series, Dr. Who. The only concrete similarity that the two share is the fact that Sapphire and Steel are able to travel through time with ease as they investigate various cases. Other than that, there are no similarities between the pair. If anything Sapphire and Steel can be more easily compared to Fox’s The X–Files and Fringe. All three shows see their main characters investigating experiences that defy any logical explanation. In the case of Sapphire and Steel, audiences see its two main characters investigating most notable the case of a man who had the ability to trap people in photographs in one episode. Another saw them investigating a haunted train station that was already being investigated by a self-proclaimed ghost hunter. And in one of the most interesting of the short-lived series’ episodes, Sapphire and Steel have to deal with a pair of time travelers from the future. The dialogue between the characters is simple enough for any viewer to follow. And the music written in as a bed for each scene helps make each one even more gripping. One must not forget the manner in which each episode ends, too. The show’s writing staff made no bones about the fact that this show was a serial. The semi-cliffhanger episode endings were expertly written. They kept viewers really wanting to know what will happen next. This is a tribute to the work put into each episode by the show’s writers even with each episode being split into so many episodes. That writing made having so many episodes per story enjoyable, rather than annoying as some critics would like to believe.
The writing behind Sapphire and Steel is the series’ key point of success. The show’s writers crafted stories that were largely unlike anything that other British, and even American dramas of the time were doing. Also to be factored into the show’s importance is its production values. The general production values of Sapphire and Steel are by today’s standards rather low grade. However, when one looks at the production values in a larger picture, those behind the show used what they had at the time. The result is that it led the show to rely on its writing and acting for its success. That’s not to say that in hindsight the special effects are low budget. There is something about the show’s production values that in comparison to so many of today’s TV shows and movies that makes one appreciate them. Today’s movies and TV shows are so over the top in terms of their production values that it makes them feel boring. Classics such as this show though, have more substance. It uses the production values as a companion tool to the writing, thus giving audiences a truly full viewing experience. Whether one is familiar with Sapphire and Steel or not, it proves with its combination of solid writing and its production values that it’s a show that any sci-fi fan should see at least once. Perhaps in doing so, said viewers will gain a new appreciation for not just the one show, but classic science fiction television and film making as a whole. Sapphire and Steel is available now on DVD in stores and online. It can be ordered direct from the Shout! Factory online store at http://www.shoutfactory.com/catalog/search/?uc_search_word=Sapphire%20and%20Steel. More information on this and other titles from Shout! Factory is available online at http://www.shoutfactory.com and http://www.facebook.com/shoutfactoryofficial.
Marvel Animation releases the latest in its “animated” series, Iron Man: Armored Adventures next Tuesday, April 23rd. Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 Volume 4 follows the continuing journey of the teenage Tony Stark and his friends as they face the forces of evil. This time out, Tony finally discovers that his father is actually alive only to have to save his life again. Also in this finale to the show’s second season, Iron Man and his friends also have to face off against the evil Dr. Doom, and Pepper Potts even gets her own suit of armor. And what action series would be complete without an alien invasion? The season closes out with an epic battle against the Makluans. All of this and more spans eight episodes in one more disc that finishes off the second season of Iron Man: Armored Adventures. The show’s cg-based “animation” continues to stand out from the rest of the crop of CG-based kids’ shows, continuing to help maintain its identity. This is especially the case considering that the recent Hot Wheels animated series and Stormhawks have gone by the wayside. Both of those shows used very similar cg based animation. Together with the packaging and the action packed episodes, audiences get another set of episodes that makes for a nice lead-in to the upcoming theatrical debut of Iron Man 3.
Iron Man Armored: Adventures Season 2 Vol. 4 succeeds as a continuation of the season’s previous volumes and as a lead in to the upcoming theatrical release of Iron Man 3 thanks to its writing. This final portion of Season Two leads up to an epic faceoff with the Makluans. The faceoff in question is a result of actions by the teenage Mandarin in his search for the tenth ring. Viewers get an origin story not of just The Mandarin, but also of the rings. According to the legend presented here, the rings are actual alien in descent, and were used by an evil alien warlord to enslave other alien beings. In the process of everything, Pepper plays a role and is introduced as “Rescue” having gotten her own armor in the buildup to the battle with the Makluan. Keeping this in mind, the writing of the episodes included in this set, and the timing of its release will really help to build hype for the latest upcoming big screen feature. All involved with the series and its release are definitely to be commended for all of this.
The writing and the timing of this set’s release make it a success. This goes without saying. Its form of CG-based “animation” adds to its success. There have been few modern “animated shows” that have used and use the form of CG-based art that this show uses. Two that come to mind immediately are: Stormhawks and Hot Wheels battle Force 5. Both shows have gone by the wayside. By comparison, the current success level of Marvel’s properties would seem to suggest that this program still has some life left in itself. And if that truly is the case, then fans can expect even more adventures from Tony, Pepper and Roady set against this largely unique CG-based animation style art. Until then, fans can check out all the adventures from this final quarter of the show’s second season when it hits stores next Tuesday alongside, Iron Man: Armored Adventures: The Complete Season 2. And for all things Iron Man and Marvel, fans can get all the latest when they “Like” Marvel on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/Marvel or check in at the official Marvel website at http://www.marvel.com.
Superman is flying again. And this time it’s thanks not to DC, but to a little company called Gaiam. Thanks to Gaiam, Max Fleischer’s classic Superman cartoons have been restored and made available once again to the public. These classic cartoons are an example of everything that was once right with animation. And now not only can the generation that grew up with these classics enjoy them once more, but so can a whole new generation. At a time when DC and Marvel are increasingly going toe to toe with one another, churning out feature after feature (both on the big and small screen), this double disc collection is a welcome breath of fresh air for comic book fans the world over.
While there may have been only a grand total of seventeen episodes of Superman created by Max Fleischer between 1941 and 1942, those seventeen episodes are some of the finest animation to ever grace any television screen. As with so many early pieces of animation, Fleischer and his team of nearly six hundred (yes, nearly six hundred) animators gave Superman its own identity through their work. This is something that has so sadly been lost in today’s “animated” features. Being that so many “cartoons” are created via computer, they all look alike. They’re sterile. They have no real identity, compared to the likes of Superman. Sure, older cartoons such as these took massive amounts of time, money, and staff. But the end result is well worth it. That is evidenced here.
One might ask how it’s known that Fleischer used nearly six hundred animators and large amounts of money to create Superman. The answer to that is simple. The commemorative booklet included in this double disc set gives a full in-depth history lesson on how Fleischer came to ring one of the greatest superheroes of all time to the small screen. Dr. Thomas R. Reich, Ph.D. explains in the culled information that the shorts collected in this set were the result of discussions between Paramount and Fleischer Studios over a Superman movie. Because of the costs that the movie would have incurred, the two sides agreed that instead of a Superman movie, Fleischer would break up its movie proposal into what is now one of the earliest of the Superman TV series. Dr. Reich explains with excruciating detail how the series eventually came to life, and just as soon came to its end. There are also discussions on Fleischer Studios’ early days creating the likes of Gulliver’s Travels, Betty Boop, and even Popeye. The bonus booklet even includes a full episode listing with equally in-depth synopsis for each episode.
The bonus booklet included in this new Superman Set offers loads and loads of trivia for audiences. The story of how these seventeen shorts came to be is enlightening to say the least. Just as enlightening is the revelation that it’s Fleischer and company who are to be credited with the now famous lines, “Faster than a speeding bullet” and “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” This is just one more example of the value of this set to audiences. Valuable information such as this, along with the equally impressive animation and storylines make this Blu-ray re-issue of Max Fleischer’s one of the best kids’ releases of the year. It also makes it one of the year’s best in the category of general DVD’s and Blu-rays. It will be available in stores and online on Tuesday, October 30th.

Illusion is an eye-popping form of painting that tricks the human eye simulating volumes and shapes from a specific standpoint. We recommend this form of art to embody a sense of playfulness and interaction. The viewer is actively engaging in finding the perfect viewpoint, and often gets fascinated by the geometrics involved in the process.

An energetic hurricane comes from the highest part of the sky to enfold your entire body with fierceness and will allow you to purge your soul, Cancer.
You have turned the page to those feelings that sometimes haunted your head like, for example, that they don't love you and that nobody values you for what you are.
Take advantage of all the greatness that you have in front of you this Friday, don't waste the opportunity!
In fact, everything you decide to do today will strongly mark your love life for the nearest future.
Make each step you take stronger than the previous one, and walking, go as far as you want, because nobody is going to prevent you from reaching the goals you set for yourself.
At work you will also have a very interesting day, Cancer, because thanks to your optimism and the energy that the stars send you, you will see wide open doors that you thought were closed to you.
This can be translated in many ways, from new job proposals to the phone ringing and someone proposes to arrange a job interview.
In this case, try to work well in addition to the classic curriculum and the cover letter, your digital fingerprint, that image you project through social networks, which is something that companies increasingly look at.
Avoid especially this Friday getting into confrontations with colleagues, so as not to take with you during the weekend an unpleasant memory of the day.
Don't listen to the rumors or the gossip that you hear.
The influence of the cosmos on you today is so favorable that even your metabolism is going to benefit from it.
Any treatment you are taking will be especially effective on this day, especially if they are related to the functioning of the kidneys and the diuretic system in general.
In addition, if you soon have to make a hospital admission or you are going to undergo some small intervention (an insignificant extraction of a tooth), be clear that everything will be more than good, and you will recover without even realizing.

LankaWeb – ASHAMED OF BEING AN INDIAN ??????????
ASHAMED OF BEING AN INDIAN ??????????
This Eid again proved a hard day of trials and tribulations for the helpless Kashmiris in the Indian Held Kashmir. At most of the places the Muslims were not allowed to offer their Eid prayers by the Indian forces. Thousands of Kashmiris gathered on roads and raised slogans against this injustice of the Indian occupying forces. They hoisted Pakistani flag to express their love for Pakistan and hatred for India. The Indian army used shelling and baton-charge to disperse the protesters, injuring several of the protesters in the process for hoisting the Pakistan flag. Several Hurriyet leaders were put under-arrest along with so many other innocent Kashmiris. It seems that offering Eid prayers and expressing love for Pakistan is an unforgivable crime in the Indian Held Kashmir and the people of the Indian Held Kashmir are being severely and continuously punished for this crime.
As per rules and regulations the security forces of any country must be the custodians of human rights and civil privileges but in the Indian Occupied Kashmir the situation is altogether different. Under the shield of AFSPA, the security forces are butchering and slaughtering the innocent people. The Armed Forces Special Power Act of 1958, commonly known as ‘a draconian law’ allows even a junior non-commissioned officer to ‘shoot to kill’ on mere suspicion in order to maintain ‘Public Order’. This license to murder is widely misused by the security forces in India particularly in Indian Occupied Kashmir. Some of the moderate politicians of India call this license ‘a trigger-happy culture of governance’. The Act has been employed in the Indian administrated state of Jammu and Kashmir since 1990. Various human rights activists have ever been expressing their reservations regarding this inhuman and brutal Act but they are never listened to. The Press TV India said in a recent analysis, The law is fueling serious human rights abuses including the killing of innocent civilians across the Muslim-majority region. The emergency law, known as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), gives thousands of Indian forces sweeping powers to detain suspects without trial, shoot on sight, and seize property. The Indian army has been unwilling to cooperate even in cases where local police decided to investigate”. The analysis further said, The senior army officials have dismissed as false or baseless 96 percent of the more than 1,500 complaints of Indian military wrongdoings between 1993 and 2011.” Instead of keeping an eye on the illegal and inhuman activities of the Armed Forces posted there in IHK and instead of giving the people of Kashmir their moral and human rights, the so-called democratic government of India is deploying more and more troops to Srinagar and several other major towns to prevent street demonstrations across Kashmir. The situation demands sincere and honest attention of the international peace and human rights organizations.
India should be ashamed to bully a tiny nation like Sri Lanka. They were responsible for MADE IN INDIA terrorist organization LTTE which was financed,trained and sent to my country to destroy the Sinhalese and the Sinhala culture. They should keep out of Lanka affairs and allow us to solve our own problems. I am very angry with India for destroying my land of birth for thirty long years together with the most brutal cold blooded killer Prabakaran and his killer machine.
Time to dismantle the Indian Empire. There was no India before the British made it.

A man in his twenties was taken to hospital on Monday morning after being shot in the leg by a police officer in Falköping in western Sweden. The incident occurred after two officers failed in their attempts to disarm the man, TV4 reports.
When police arrived at Wetterlingsgatan at around 9am, the man is said to have behaved aggressively and walked towards the officers brandishing his knife.
The officers tried to ward him with the aid of pepper spray.
"But it was quite windy and they weren't able to check his progress," press spokesman Björ Blixer told TV4.
Although the officers decided to retreat, the man continued advancing towards them.
"One of the officers then used their service weapon and fired a shot at the man's lower leg," said Blixer.
According to police, the officers - a man and a woman - have been taken off duty pending an investigation.

In a recent article in Bloomberg, Helena Morrissey, who as CEO of Newton Investment Management oversees 47.2 billion pounds and almost 400 employees, recalled her worst moment as a woman in the City. It happened almost 20 years ago, when she was the only female on a team of sixteen male bond fund traders at Schroders Investment Management. She’d just returned from her first maternity leave and her boss passed her over for promotion. As Morrissey says, her boss was matter-of-fact about the reason – “’Well, you’ve just had you first child, and we’re not sure whether you can make it through.’ The sense was that I was on a different path.’” Her response was even more pointed – she quit, joined Newton, and, seven years later, became CEO at age 35. Now 45, Morrissey remains one of the few female CEOs in the City – and has since had eight more children, for a total of nine.
Morrissey is rightly regarded as a trailblazer. Her ambition, brilliance and steely determination led her to a victory so perfect that for the rest of us it seems to have the illustrative power of a parable.
Partly as a result of the work of Morrissey and other women, attitudes are changing, and those in positions of power have less leeway for the expression of unreconstructed prejudice. Womens’ most effective response to the considerable challenges they face when returning to a corporate role post-childbirth, is confidence and effective organisation.
First100 has recently designed a Maternity Returner Assist programme that is specially designed to empower women to meet these specific challenges. The initial 100 day period must be structured with the aim of finding the right balance between the roles of mother and executive, so that good organisation and confidence can reinforce each other in a kind of positive feedback loop.
Let’s look at the case of Natalie, who was left physically debilitated by a difficult birth, and returned to work as an MD after a year-long absence to find the firm almost unrecognisably altered; a trusted CEO and many members of her original team had been replaced and a basic shift in the company’s focus had come about in response to changes in the market.
Natalie found it was necessary to prove herself all over again in an unfamiliar work environment while dealing with physical recovery and motherhood simultaneously, so an approach based on thorough preparation and mental discipline was essential.
In this situation First100 would work with Natalie to anticipate specific challenges and develop quantifiable, achievable goals, while never loosing sight of the difficulty of the challenge she had set for herself.
In facing complex challenges, clarity and planning are vital preconditions for fostering courage and integrity, and all of this is impossible unless we give ourselves the time to develop an approach that works.

Fifty professional examination writers who sit for candidates in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination have been arrested, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, has revealed. The board said the impostors were arrested nationwide following its intelligence gathering mechanism. JAMB’s Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in the agency’s weekly bulletin. Benjamin identified some of the professional examination writers as Master’s degree holders, postgraduate and undergraduate students of various tertiary institutions in the country. He said the professional writers connived with owners and operators of its Computer Based Test Centres (CBT) to carry out the crime by engaging in multiple registrations where the fingerprints of the main candidates are captured side by side with that of the impostors. “The board has uncovered a group of professional examination writers who take the exams for prospective candidates for a fee. “As a result of intelligence gathering, over 50 of such writers have been arrested across the country. “The modus operandi of these UTME syndicates was confirmed when one of the kingpins was apprehended recently,” the bulletin said. Read Also: Computer rejects UTME candidates in Anambra He said the culprit confessed to have done multiple registrations of his biometric along with several other candidates with the intention of sitting for them and collecting huge sums of money from the candidates. “This Development is the fundamental reason for the decision of the board to revalidate all biometrics of candidates that have taken the board’s examination in recent times. “This timely action would enable the board to not only fish out and dismantle these registration cartels and racketeers but also bring them to book along with their collaborators,” the bulletin said. Also, Fabian said 1, 236, 316 candidates out of the 1.8 million registered has so far taken the examination. “A total of 1,886,238 UTME candidates are expected to sit nationwide. And, 1,236,316 candidates have so far taken their examination,” it added.

The UK government’s leading independent climate advisor says the fossil fuel lobby and industrial groups are investing heavily in blocking climate action around the world.
Lord Deben, who heads the UK’s influential Committee on Climate Change, said he is concerned by the level of influence certain groups had, especially in Washington.
And he says lawmakers and politicians need to be more confident in making the case for a greener economy.
“There are a lot of people around the world who are trying to stop us doing anything about climate change,” Deben told RTCC.
Lord Deben, President GLOBE International from Responding to Climate Change on Vimeo.
Speaking at the Globe summit for leading climate lawmakers in London, the former MP reserved particular criticism for politicians who refuse to look further than their next election.
Deben is currently pushing back against a recent UK government decision to build 30 new gas-fired power stations to replace the UK’s ageing coal, nuclear and gas stations.
His Committee have warned this could lead to the UK breaking its laws on cutting carbon emissions, although the government says it is also investing heavily in renewable energy.
“Populist press and populist politicians cannot get out of the thought that there are a few quick cheap votes to get by promising people an easier time rather than having to deal with long term decisions,” he said.
“It isn’t the easy answer to ignore climate change. To ignore climate change is the stupid policy.
Deben was speaking at the launch of the Globe Climate Legislation Study, a review of energy and climate laws in 33 countries accounting for 85% of global emissions. Of those 18 made “significant” progress in 2012.

Awful customer and technical support service after purchase of Internet Total Security.

An opportunity exists to lease a large storage yard with gravelled surface affording good direct access to the county road. The yard, extending to almost half an acre has been used for the storage of commercial vehicles for many years and is suitable, for this purpose, or a wide range of other similar storage purposes.
The yard is ready for immediate occupation with flexible leasing terms available.
Check out the property I found on PropertyPal.com: Storage Yard Adjacent To 23 Thornyhill Road, Killinchy BT23 6SL.

Do you ever have days where you’re in a bad mood because you didn’t win the lottery? Well, there are other kids who work all day in clothing factories. That where the saying “First World Problems” came from. Look on your shirt, there is a good chance that it was either made in Egypt, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Thailand or China. If so it was possibly made by children who are forced to work. That’s called child labour. Child labour started in the 1700s, a long time ago and it “ended” in most countries at the beginning of the 20th century because Americans thought they were better than the African Americans and made them work for them. Every day, while kids like me are going to school, playing video games or playing sports these children in another part of the world, are making clothes that you might buy without even knowing it!
Their parents need money and borrow from rich people. Then, not able to pay it back they are forced to give up their children to pay off their debt. Their kids are sent far away from their parents and most of the time never see them again. They wake up early every day and start making clothes. If they refuse or they mess up they are punished brutally for it, they are whipped, starved, threatened with guns and sometimes their masters burn them on the back with a hot iron or their hands are dipped in cauldrons of boiling water.
Even now some companies knowingly or not knowingly use products of child labour. They look for better ways to make their products more comfortable and by accidentally find a comfortable cotton in a factory. They buy some to use for their products without knowing that it is Uzbek cotton. In Uzbekistan, children are forced to pick cotton from fields all day. These kids would give anything to be like us, to be able to go to school, have good meals and to have money.
You’re lucky to live in a safe country. Don’t take it for granted!

Eau Claire, Wis. – The Phoenix Park Footbridge in Downtown Eau Claire is scheduled to be closed on a regular basis throughout the summer. The closure is to accommodate installation of lights as part of the Light It Up campaign.
Beginning Tuesday, June 20th the footbridge is scheduled to be closed to pedestrian traffic from 6:00 am until 4:30 pm on Monday through Thursday. The bridge is scheduled to remain open all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This schedule is expected to last throughout the summer until installation is complete. Phoenix Park and Riverfront Terrace will not be affected by the bridge closure.
Pedestrian traffic will be rerouted to the Grand Avenue Footbridge during the times when the bridge is closed.
The bridge lighting project, known as “The River Lights at Phoenix Park”, will include the installation of hundreds of lights on the 526 foot long bridge spanning the Chippewa River. Once completed, the bridge will be bathed in ambient colors that can change for seasons and events, and will highlight the unique and historic architectural structure of the bridge. The result will be a world-class attraction that can be enjoyed by the public year-round.
The project is made possible thanks to the joint efforts of Rotary International, Downtown Eau Claire, Inc., and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, as well as hundreds of sponsors and donors. Over $200,000 has been raised so far and project partners are asking for the support of the community to make the bridge lighting a reality. To learn more and donate, visit www.lightitupec.com.

If we ever get around to reviewing mobile games, then I'd also be open to reviewing the superb Skylanders Battlecast as well.
Yes please! Seems like most members are still unable to login.
Should I write the reviews in chronological order, or do Imaginators first and then the rest in order, or Imaginators, then the previous main console titles in order, then the 3DS titles in order? I could choose any one of them, or deviate slightly if need be. I guess the sky's the limit...er, excuse the pun.

The great majority of people welcome the thought of retirement. It’s a time when many people imagine being able to do the fun things in life that they really didn’t have very much time to do earlier in life. You will need plenty of planning if you want your retirement to be a good one. This article will give you some advice on how to achieve just that.
Determine how much money you will need to live once you retire. Research has shown that most people need around 75% of their original income to continue being comfortable as they retire. If you are in the lower tax bracket, you may need 90 percent of your income to retire.
You can help save for retirement by reducing luxury items in your life. Have a look at each of your expenses and then decide from there which ones are not necessary. When you look at these expenses over 30 years, they become quite a large amount.
Most folks look forward to retirement. Mistakenly, they believe that they will be able to do whatever they wish during this time. Planning is essential to ensure that this happens.
Make sure that you are adding to your 401k every paycheck. The 401k puts away pre-tax dollars, letting you save money and reduce the strain on your paycheck. If the employer matches contributions, that is like free cash.
With plenty of free time during your retirement, you have no more excuses for not getting into shape. Your entire body gains from your efforts to stay fit. Working out during retirement will make this time more enjoyable.
Examine what your employer offers in the way of a retirement savings plan. If there is a 401k available, get yourself signed up and start contributing. Figure out what you can about the plan you choose like how much money it will cost you and how much time you have to stay to get your money.
A lot of people think that when they retire, they’ll have as much time as they want to do whatever they want. Time does have a way of slipping away faster as the years go by. Advance planning of daily activities is one way to organize your time.
Learn all about your employer’s pension plans. If a traditional one is offered, learn the details and whether you are covered by it. If you plan on changing jobs, find out what will happen to your current plan. Hopefully, you will still be able to access certain benefits. You might also be able to get benefits from a spousal employer pension.
Make certain that you have goals. Goals are essential in life, and they can help save money. When you know how much money you are going to need, you’ll be able to save it. Do the math and come up with the amount you need to save every week or every month.
Pay off the loans that you have as soon as possible. The auto and mortgage loans are simpler if you can pay large sums before you retire. Check out your options. When you have reduced your debt, you are more financially free to do what you enjoy.
Social Security may not cover your living expenses. While your Social Security benefits will pay for about 40 percent of what you make now when you retire, it’s not going to match your living costs. Most people require 70 percent (90 percent for low income) of their current pre-retirement salary to live comfortable after retirement.
How much money will you have each month after retirement? Typical income sources may include pensions, Social Security benefits, savings and interest on investments. Your financial situation will be more secure when more sources of money are available. Are there any places right now that you could get to working for you that will help you when you’re retired?
Don’t touch your retirement savings no matter how difficult things get for you financially. Doing so can be extremely costly. There might also be penalties and loss of tax benefits. Instead, leave the money alone so you can enjoy your retirement.
Consider a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage allows you to borrow money based on your home equity so you can continue to live in your house. You do not have to repay these funds while you are alive. The money is paid from your estate once you pass away. This may be a fantastic way to get extra money when you need it.
Educate yourself on Medicare and its benefits. Perhaps you have additional insurance now, making it necessary to see how they will work together. This will ensure you are covered to the full extent.
No matter the means required to accomplish it, make sure your debt is paid offer before you quit work. Retirement should be enjoyable. If you are in debt, you will not be able to enjoy your golden years comfortably. Therefore, get things in order prior to the time that you stop working.
Make certain that you have all of your legal documents in order. These are the people that will have legal say over your financial as well as medical decisions if you become unable to do so. It is a great protection from financial disaster. It allows others to care for the things you cannot.
Plan well for your retirement long before that time approaches. This is more than just saving money. Look at how much you spend overall and if you’re able to stay that way when you retire. Will you be able to keep your home? Can you eat out as much? Make adjustments where you need to so you can live comfortably.
Keep your mind and body working post-retirement. Get a part-time job to help you make a little extra money while letting your mind stay nimble. Working just a few hours every week can be a substantial help to your budget.
By properly planning for retirement, you live comfortably. You are never too young to begin, and never to old to make up lost ground. Use the tips listed here to have an awesome retirement.

Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the therapist and the client, and the particular problems brought forward. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for an active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.
Psychotherapy can have benefits and difficulties. Since therapy often involves discussing difficult or unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to have long-term benefits for people who go through it. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience.
Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs and what you hope to achieve through therapy. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include, if you decide to continue with therapy. You should evaluate this. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, you may wish to meet with another professional for a second opinion. Your well being is the primary concern.
After the preliminary session(s) we can both decide if I am the best person to provide the services you need in order to meet your treatment goals. Once we proceed, it is usual practice to schedule one 60-minute session per week at a regular time we agree on. In certain circumstances, this may be increased to two sessions per week if we both feel it is appropriate.
Once an appointment slot is scheduled, I will keep that session hour booked for you on an on-going basis until you give notice to conclude therapy. Occasionally, there is merit in fortnightly sessions for clients who have been in therapy for an extended period of time and are working towards closure. If cost is the issue, please mention this. You are bound to receive more benefit from a fixed number sessions on a regular basis, than occasional sessions.
If your work involves regular travel, shift patterns, etc, please discuss this with me so that we can find a mutually acceptable working arrangement.
While a notice period to finish therapy is therapeutically recommended, you are free to stop whenever you wish. However, until I receive notification to end therapy from you, your weekly appointments remain scheduled for you and you are responsible for those fees whether you have attended or not. There are palliative reasons for this and is usual practice in the profession.
Fees are payable by the day of your session at the latest.
You can pay by cash or bank transfer. Paypal is available for a small fee to cover charges.
Cancelled and Missed Sessions are payable in full except in a few circumstances.
You do not have to pay for sessions missed due to a reasonable number of planned holidays when there has been at least a week’s notice given. However, if you take a high number of holidays, it may be necessary to pay for some missed sessions to make it viable for me to maintain your booking slot.
I treat each event individually. However, by default these are chargeable.
In the case of illness, disability, hospital treatments or work commitments (e.g. travel, shift work) we should be discuss this as it arises. I prefer to negotiate these situations individually.
These must be paid for at the time of booking; on-going telephone sessions must be paid up in full at least 48 hours before your appointment time.
You are not responsible for the sessions I am unable to fulfil (holidays, illness, etc).
Please give as much notice as possible when you are planning to finish therapy. Without notice I am unable to know whether to keep your session time reserved for you. Therefore, without notice, your missed sessions are chargeable.
NB. Most other cancellations are chargeable. In the absence of notice to finish treatment, all on-going non-attended sessions remain chargeable. Until you give notice to finish, I keep your session time reserved for you for a reasonable period of time.
If you are attending sessions in West Oxfordshire, please be aware that I do not have a waiting room. Please arrive at the specified time as I am unable to respond any earlier, just as I would not interrupt your session for another early arrival. Sessions are 60-minutes long.
The session will finish at the hour’s end; not sixty minutes after a late start.
If I am served with a court order or any other disclosure obligation by UK law.
My GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) policy covers what data I might collect or hold about you and how it is stored. I take this seriously and with utmost respect for my clients. Please read as agreement to this contract means you have read and agree to my GDPR Policy.
I may discuss aspects of the work we do together with my supervisor. This is considered good practice within the profession and is to ensure the high standard of my work. I would not reveal your identity or discuss you in any way that could identify you.
you will declare at the outset if there exists any additional agenda in your seeking counselling. This may include, but is not limited to, undergoing counselling or therapy for research, publishing, distribution or any other secondary purpose.
you will declare at the outset if your particpation in this counselling will be shared in any form, be it, recordings, transcripts, copying or reporting of or on the experience, your impressions thereof, surveillance and any other use of the session, verbal or otherwise, other than for your personal therapeutic benefit.
This counselling and therapy service is provided in the United Kingdom and is available to UK residents located within the United Kingdom at the time of the service being provided. Any prospective or current client must declare, at the outset, their geographic location and residency if other than in the United Kingdom. All and any therapeutic and counselling service by Deborah Ward is specifically denied to people who live in a country or state other than the UK that requires licensure in that location. It is the responsibility of the client to declare, at the outset, any legal requirements their area of citizenship or residency demands.
Deborah Ward and you, the client, agree that any dispute arising out of this service shall first be resolved by mediation, if possible. This contract was entered into in Oxfordshire County, United Kingdom, and any necessary arbitration or litigation will take place in this county. All terminology is intended for a UK audience; those not familiar with UK psychotherapy and counselling terms should not assume nor construe meaning applicable to a non-UK service, professional qualifications, standards or any other aspect of The Being Well's operations.
I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and abide by the Association Code of Ethics.
If you have any questions about these terms and conditions, please discuss these points at your next session.

Read how we have helped clients in cases of Personal Injuries.
Christian has taken over cases in which other firms have given the claimant poor prospects of success and have refused to take the matter further. These include the family of a HGV driver in North Wales who tragically died due to the negligence of his Employers.
A previous firm had acted but felt the claim was unwinnable as the Defendants had denied liability and there had been no witnesses to the accident. We issued proceedings, persuaded the Defendants to attend a mediation and managed to negotiate a settlement in excess of £100,000.
In another case, a claimant from London received over £50,000 in damages and costs after the claimant had instructed to earlier firms without success. We also ensured the Defendants Insurers paid for the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Shoulder Surgery at a private Hospital.
Christian recently secured over £20,000 for a painter & decorator who broke his arm falling off a ladder. The client was so delighted with how his case had been handled he referred his friend who had only been offered £4700.00 for a similar injury. We took over conduct of the case and managed to treble the offer.
Ian has conducted a large variety of Personal Injury cases over the years, from straight forward trips and slips to complicated and high value accidents at work.
One of Ian’s clients was injured at work whilst lifting a heavy cage using an electronic hoist. As the cage reached the top of a shaft, our client was required to lean over to pull the cage in. As he did so, one of the hooks gave way under the weight of the cage and our client was pulled away from the platform, although he managed to keep his feet on it. As the cage swung out he suffered an injury to his shoulder. Even though he was able let go of the cage and regain his balance without falling, he also suffered from shock.
The client thought his employer was to blame for his accident because they failed to provide suitable work equipment or a safe system of work. He instructed Ian to help him make a claim for damages.
This amount was for pain and suffering, including psychological problems caused by the accident. It also included financial losses, including his loss of earnings and the costs of medical care.
Another one of our clients suffered multiple leg fractures after tripping in a Supermarket. She attempted to pursue the matter herself. However after running into difficulties, she researched personal injury solicitors extensively, before instructing our Expert and Partner, Christian Evans.
We were able to rescue the claim despite difficult and obstructive defendants. We managed to secure her £150,000 which helped her purchase a 4x4 to allow her to enjoy her small holding.
Compensation Award of £1,540.00 obtained for Claimant A, who was riding his bike one evening when the Defendant opened his car door without any warning knocking him off his bike and causing an injury.
Compensation Award of £6,735.00 received for Claimant B, who was knocked down by a driver. While out walking with young daughter in her pushchair, she began to cross the road with the aid of a lollipop man the vehicle came from around the corner and collided with her. Fortunately, the child was not harmed in the accident.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Award in the amount £9,600.00 for Claimant C, who was attacked by an unknown assailant upon returning home, following post work drinks with colleagues. As she approached the gate of her property she was assaulted in her front garden. Claimant sustained a broken nose which subsequently resulted in loss of smell and some loss of taste. Initially, this application was refused twice, at which point Gregory Abrams Davidson represented her at a Tribunal Hearing, where she was successfully awarded compensation.
We offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement on personal injury cases*.
Special mention for excellent service to Christian Evans. I was treated by Mr Evans with a lot of understanding and compassion I have a lot to be thankful for all his help.

San Jose, August 12, 2016 - With sadness, the Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies at San Jose State marks the passing of Thomas Steinbeck, elder son of John Steinbeck and author of the story collection Down to the Soundless Sea (2002) and the novels In the Shadow of the Cypress (2010) and The Silver Lotus (2011). After a long struggle with pulmonary disease, he died peacefully at home in Santa Barbara at 72 years old.
Thom Steinbeck and his wife, Gail, were supporters of the Center from its earliest days as a small university archive in the 1970s. Their donations to our collection include family heirlooms such as Steinbeck’s Hermes portable typewriter, etched with the ominous phrase “THE BEAST WITHIN.” The typewriter and other Steinbeck family memorabilia are on permanent display in the Center’s facility on the fifth floor of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Library in downtown San Jose.
With the support of the Steinbeck family, the Center in 1996 created the “in the souls of the people” Steinbeck Award, given annually to artists and activists who embody Steinbeck’s commitment to social justice. Thom Steinbeck frequently appeared at Steinbeck Award ceremonies to present the statuette to luminaries such as Garrison Keillor, Jackson Browne, and Rachel Maddow. He liked to tell audiences that his father taught him an artist’s job was to “remind us of our humanity,” a dictum Thom kept close to his heart.
Rest in peace, Thom. Your friends in San Jose will miss you.

The body is made up of what is called hard tissue and soft tissue. The hard tissue is the bones, and basically everything else in the body can be considered soft tissue. When doctors and lawyers refer to a soft-tissue injury, they are generally referring to a back injury that is not a serious injury or a whiplash injury with regard to muscles, ligaments, or tendons.
Blood supply to muscles, ligaments, and tendons is generally what helps soft tissue injuries to refresh and heal when muscles, ligaments, or tendons have been bruised or injured. The greater the blood supply to the soft tissue, the more apt it is to recover quickly. Therefore, muscles, which have the greatest blood supply, will tend to heal more quickly than a ligament or tendon, which has much less blood supply, or very little blood supply. A tendon connects the muscle to the bone, and a ligament connects the bone to the bone.
The largest tendon is what is commonly referred to as the Achilles heal tendon, and if that ruptures, it basically has to be re-attached by a medical professional. Also, if a ligament is torn, it generally will have to be re-attached by a medical profession.
Here at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock, Inc. our team of legal professionals has earned many a soft tissue injury settlement for our deserving clients. The key to successfully arriving at a satisfactory soft tissue injury settlement is employing a personal injury attorney who a) brings to the table a wealth of experience and expertise at negotiation, and b) has sufficient trial experience to deter the opposition from pursuing the matter in court.
Let us begin with the concept of negotiation. A soft tissue injury settlement can be a complex and convoluted legal matter, and it requires the attentive and capable hands of an accomplished personal injury attorney. Our founder, Cameron Brock, has a deep wellspring of knowledge on personal injury law, including issues arising from soft tissue injury. He also a proven track record; over the last 15 years, he and his firm have won over $100 million in verdicts and settlements on behalf of their clients.
Trial experience is also essential to a successful soft tissue injury settlement. This may seem counter-intuitive, because a settlement takes place outside the courtroom. But a big insurance company won’t feel the need to settle out of court if they like their chances at trial. Cameron Brock has a solid reputation at court, and many defendants will balk at taking him on in a trial that might cost them much more in time and resources than a quick soft tissue injury settlement.

I was sitting on a bench on a beach boardwalk late one afternoon, resting after an hour walk. I had passed a woman in a green uniform pushing a broom several times. She came toward my bench doing her meticulous sweeping of the sidewalk. Suddenly she stopped, wiped her forehead, and rested on her broom. I called out to her: "You do a great job."
"Thank you," she replied. Then she added something that explained why the sidewalk behind her was spotless. "I just believe people want to walk on a clean sidewalk."
I was humbled to be in the presence of a worker who viewed her task with such significance. Whatever the park service was paying her, there’s no way they could have demanded the excellence she brought to her work. That kind of motivation comes from within.

Acne scars are the marks that are left after the acne has dried. This condition is caused by overstimulated sebaceous glands which produce excess sebum, which can cause the clogging of the skin pores.
Bacteria namely Propionibacterium acnes can also cause this skin condition. Other factors that are responsible are heredity, consumption of junk foods and fast foods, poor hygiene, stress, and excess use of cosmetics. Some common areas for acne are the face, back, neck, chest, and shoulders.
There are different types of acne scars such as ice-pink, hypertrophic, and atrophic scars. Some of them are mild and can be easily treated, while some become permanent and are difficult to remove.
There are various treatment options, including topical medications, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, punch excision, and grafting, chemical peels and fillers; however, the scars can also be treated with some home remedies.
Natural treatment is one of the safest and effective methods to remove such scars. These include certain dietary changes, maintaining hygienic habits, and use of home remedies.
A healthy and nutritious diet helps to cure acne scars rapidly. Your diet should include high amounts of proteins, as they help to rebuild skin cells and reduce these scars naturally.
You should have an ample amount of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce, which provide all the essential nutrients required for natural skin care. Fibrous vegetables improve digestion and ensure proper bowel clearance, and thus help prevent acne.
Vegetables and fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins, that help repair broken tissues and remove blemishes.
Regular intake of vitamin A helps to maintain proper hormonal balance. Hence, your diet should include tomatoes, carrots, spinach, yams, and parsley, which are the rich sources of vitamin A. Foods that contain vitamin B, vitamin E, chromium, and zinc are also useful for this purpose.
Water is considered as the best natural treatment for acne scars. Water helps to remove the dead skin cells and helps the new skin to grow. It keeps the skin hydrated. Therefore, it is beneficial to drink an adequate amount of water everyday.
Excess intake of white flour, sugar, milk, and processed foods should be avoided in order to reduce acne. Avoid consumption of iodine-rich foods including iodized salt, cheese, liver, kelp products, crabs, and other shellfish.
Foods that contain trans-fatty acids such as milk products, margarine, cookies, chocolates, and hydrogenated oils should also be avoided.
Poor hygiene is one of the common causes of acne. Hence, it is very important to keep the skin clean and bacteria-free. Wash your skin using an antibacterial soap or a cleanser that contains salicylic acid twice a day. Salicylic acid acts as an exfoliant and helps to remove dead skin cells.
You can also use some topical cleansing agents that contain benzoyl peroxide. As steam helps to open up the skin pores, taking a steam shower can help reduce acne rapidly. Avoid touching the affected areas, as this can cause the infection to spread.
Keep your bed linens clean, because dirt, cosmetics, and oil on the linen can clog the skin pores. Use of greasy cosmetics and creams block the pores, hence it is better if you avoid using them.
Home remedies include the use of some easily available ingredients. Following is the list of some therapies that can effectively reduce acne scars, with regular use over time.
Lime juice is a citric acid, which helps to remove the dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new ones. Apply lime juice directly on the marks with the help of a cotton ball. It lightens and improves the appearance of dark scars.
This is a very effective remedy for acne scars. Sandalwood has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin. Prepare a thick paste of sandalwood and rosewater and directly apply on the scarred area. Leave it on for about an hour, before washing off with water.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which prevents excess production of sebum that causes acne. Tomatoes also have antioxidant properties, which help to improve the damaged skin. Cut thin slices of a tomato and place them over your face like a mask. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash off with water.
This face mask is another popular remedy. Prepare a paste of cucumber and tomato and apply it evenly over the face. This remedy helps tighten the skin pores and minimizes the visibility of the scars.
Application of honey as a face mask or oral intake of honey are other effective treatments. Honey is a natural moisturizer, which helps to remove the marks and gives a natural glow to the skin. It keeps the skin smooth and hydrated.
Rub ice cubes over the face for about 10-15 minutes. Ice will help to tighten the skin pores and reduce the scarring.
Home remedies combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and hygienic habits can help to remove acne scars and keep your skin healthy and problem-free.

You can use celery salt if you don't have celery seeds, but make sure to cut back on the amount of olive brine in the dressing.
In a small bowl, mix together the red onion and the olive brine or juice. Set aside for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Preheat grill to high heat. Grill the steaks 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Season the steaks immediately with salt and pepper. Let the steak rest while preparing the salad.
To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining ingredients into the olive brine. Season with freshly ground black pepper. The dressing should be tangy and spicy -- feel free to adjust the level of heat to your tastes! Add additional olive brine, horseradish or hot sauce if desired.
If you're using flank or skirt steak, make sure to slice the steak across the grain. Serve steak atop the Tomato Salad.

Is your feedback missing the mark? I was awarded a certificate for giving feedback about 18 months ago and it’s fair to say I’m very proud of the recognition. I’m pleased to be recognised in this way, because giving feedback that helps people develop is a core competency of being a coach (it’s right here woven through three areas of our competency framework), and being a good coach is something I’ve been striving for in my professonal life. I entirely cribbed my feedback skills from my tutor on my Coaching and Mentoring MAEd – the superbly skilled Rose Schofield, the grand master of feedback.
Part of my learning with Rose over the years was to understand why her feedback motivated people so much — and how was it done. Rose’s feedback to me made me listen, evaluate, self-critique and improve my work, all without her having to tell me what could be better. She insinuated to me that academic improvement of my thinking, and writing, was possible. She did this by asking me questions, that I myself wanted to know the answer to.
I run some workshops for supervisors that cover using mentoring and coaching techniques as part of supervision and research leadership. One practice discussion I always like to let run, and let people explore, is how to give feedback that PhD researchers will actually hear, analyse, and respond to.
Giving feedback that acknowledges areas for improvement, and that doesn’t cause someone to feel ashamed, close down, clam up, be upset, cause defensiveness or lead to an argument is difficult. This is because it’s dependent on more than the structure or mechanism of the giving of the feedback — the relationship matters — both your relationship with the recipient, and their relationship to the work you are critiquing.
There is general awareness now, of the fact that feedback that goes ‘good bit, bad bit, good bit’ (I’ll tactfully refer to it as the poop sandwich) isn’t effective as people (a) know what you’re doing (b) dismiss the positive bits and feel defensive about the negative bits and (c) hate it when you are disingenuous and add in positive ’filler’ to cushion things. So it’s not ‘balance’ that makes feed back effective — what is it?
Below are some ideas/concepts on feedback for you to think about. This isn’t a ‘how to’ model and not all ideas will be relevant to every situation. All that’s required is for you to think about these ideas, think about your feedback, and notice where these suggestions would and wouldn’t work for you.
Understand that relationship/rapport/alliance matters. Most of us are more inclined to hear a difficult truth from a good friend or colleague we feel has got our back, than from someone we already feel tense around. Play the ‘long game’ of feedback — does it matter more to ‘be right, right now’ or to build a productive partnership that will weather difficulties?
Ask don’t tell. Before giving your opinion, why not ask your researcher how things went/how things are going, and what they think? e.g. “Well done on getting [X] done/drafted, how did it go? Are you happy with it? Did you find it straightforward? Was there anything more taxing/complicated you had to deal with? Is there anything further you’d like to improve about it? Do you have any questions about it?
Let go of values-based judgements. If a researcher’s work has typos or mistakes or is otherwise not up to your own standard, it’s not that likely mistakes were made in order to directly offend you, or as a mark of disrespect. It may be though, that it’s a further irritant in a relationship that’s already not working well. If you’re angry, what are you angry about? Who are you angry with? Did you communicate the standards you expect?
Reject passive aggressive responses e.g. ‘hinting’. Coaching is built on candid conversations. Say what you mean and mean what you say — take a look here at how to spot passive aggressive behaviour. If you need to practice at this, imagine your response will be public.
Be culturally aware. Especially if you are working with people from different cultures and nationalities. This guide (taken from this article) has an application broader than EU translation, and works both ways too.
Check your power privilege. What might seem flippant, harmless or even funny between peers, may come across as threatening to people who we are supervising/managing, especially if they feel a bit overwhelmed or intimidated by us or are a bit insecure about what they’re getting feedback on.
Know what workplace bullying looks like. Keep an eye on yourself and others around you. Although I know I don’t need to preach to readers of this blog about not using bullying as a feedback technique, it is common in the academic workplace. There are those who feel they can get away with writing off the bullying behaviour as ‘just academic criticism’. Students and staff alike tell stories of having observed bullying at work. Check what bullying at work looks like — have you seen any of these? — I have definitely seen most of them. Rudeness isn’t just unpleasant in itself, it affects motivation, engagement, and health, and ultimately leads to isolation, low productivity, and delay for your researchers.
Be specific about what you want to see. Have a little LOL at this comedic example. And if you find you’re doing feedback like this, why not just do it better? Define what ‘good’ looks like through your feedback on the elements and style of academic writing.
Criticise with kindness. “let your aim be to come at truth, not to conquer your opponent. So you never shall be at a loss in losing the argument, and gaining a new discovery.” – Arthur Martine. Follow rules 1, 2, and 3 of intelligent critical commentary before offering your rebuttal.
Use higher logical forms of disagreement. If you want to disagree, no problem. Just keep it about the subject of the disagreement, and keep away from the base of this hierarchy. Don’t troll your colleagues.
Using ‘AND’ instead of ‘BUT’. You can easily negate goodwill by adding a ‘but’ after a positive statement. Try using ‘and’ instead. You’re doing a great job already, and remember that ‘however’ is just a fancy way of saying ‘but’.
Using ‘WHAT’ instead of ‘WHY’. Asking ‘why’ can provoke a defensiveness and make people feel the need to justify themselves. e.g.: “Why wasn’t that done?” or, better, “What prevented you from getting that done?” If we can get to the ‘what’ we can plan around the ‘what’ and solve the problem.
Don’t shirk the difficult conversation. Things don’t get better on their own. Whatever difficult thing you want to say to your researcher(s), planning your conversation will help clarify your thoughts and your approach. A ‘difficult conversation’ planner I made for supervisors is available here.

"The Carrot or the Stick: The Role of Regret, Satisfaction, and Motivation in the Pursuit of Daily Academic Goals"
Abstract: Although ties between students’ motivation and their long-term academic success have been extensively studied, course success is an accumulation of completing individual activities throughout a semester. Understanding how students make study intentions and execute individual tasks is important in developing motivational theories. When investigating intentions to complete course-related goals at a daily level, the importance of goal hierarchies becomes apparent. With limited time in a day, students may plan an activity, but may fail to complete it if a confluence of self-regulation, achievement emotions, and task value leads them to prioritize it lower than other activities. This is especially problematic in online courses, in which students have extensive control over the time and place that they complete course-related tasks. In this study, we investigate how values, self-regulation, and task-specific emotions (i.e., anticipated regret and satisfaction) predict goal intentions and completion.
Expectancy-value theory (Eccles, 2005) posits that ability beliefs and task values relate to course intentions and behavior. Control-value theory of achievement emotions (Pekrun, 2006) and goal setting theories (Gollwitzer & Oettingen, 2011) highlight the role of emotions and self-regulation in the fulfillment of tasks. We synthesize these theories to understand the relationship between emotions, motivation, and goals.
How do emotions and values predict the rank of a daily academic goal?
How do feelings of anticipated regret, satisfaction, goal importance, goal ranking, and self-regulation predict expected and actual completion of daily goals?
How do feelings of regret, satisfaction, and goal importance cooccur within students?
HLM was used to nest daily goals and motivation within students. Cluster analysis was used to model the cooccurrence of these constructs within individuals.
The participants in this study are 150 undergraduate students in a summer online science course. Students completed daily diaries about their motivation and emotions related to their goals.
RQ1: Anticipated regret (B=-.17) and goal importance (B=-.27) were associated with goal rank, while anticipated satisfaction, interest, autonomy, and cost were not predictive.
RQ2: Anticipated regret (B=.22), goal importance (B=.35), and goal rank (-.12) were associated with higher expectations of goal completion. Lower priority goals were not expected to be completed as much. Actual goal completion was predicted by anticipated regret (B=.24), goal importance (.31), goal rank (B=-.24), and online self-regulation (B=-.26). The more students reported in the presurvey as being distracted by the internet, smartphone, and social media, the less they completed intended goals.
Our study contributes to understanding how students plan to complete course-related tasks by integrating theories of motivation, emotions, and goal setting. This study highlights how the predictors of daily goal intentions differ from predictors of goal completion, providing new insights into the intention to behavior gap. Overall, this study contributes to our knowledge of the dynamic nature of motivation in the wild, as daily goals and behavior fluctuate based on various factors and hierarchies of motivation.

Wow! An elemental day. Both physically and emotionally.
Tongue is situated at the top of Scotland, towards the west. We were headed due east towards John o'Groats. At the same time, the wind was ripping off of the North Sea, tearing across the top of Scotland, and slamming into our faces. The landscape here is barren, and there is nothing to stop the wind. Cycling was hard work. Brutally hard. At the same time, all of these elements; the wind, the scudding clouds, and eventually the rain, were exhilarating. Power. Energy. I just love it. By the time we fought our way to the finish at John o'Groats, I had pretty much emptied the energy account, and was about to start bouncing checks.
On the emotional side; well, what can one say? This was the culmination of the ride started 18 days ago. Nearly 1200 miles of cycling. Steep. Flat. Hot. Cold. Hard. Easy. Wet. Dry. Incredibly diverse terrain. Wonderful people with the most delightful ways of speaking. Incredible food. And all shared with a great group of friends.
A fitting ending to a wonderful journey.
P.S. I'm aware of a number of errors in some of the reports I've sent out. Never fear. I'll go through and correct these when I compile them and post them to my web site at a later date. If you happened to notice any of these errors, please let me know. It might be one I've missed.
