The French cohort was also noted to have an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease strokes which a study this year urlhttpwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed25807316httpwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed25807316url hinted was independent of the usual risk factors for circulatory illnesses. Another 2015 study of the over 4000 uranium miners in Colorado urlhttpwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed25837305httpwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed25837305url even suggests that the increased risk of lung cancer in this population has been historically underestimated due to an error in statistical modelling. Given this science, we find it unwise to dismiss the increased incidence of lung cancer in northern Saskatchewan as simply due to smoking. Furthermore, the biological plausibility of chronic radiation exp

osure causing serious bodily harm would make us invoke the precautionary principle in limiting contact with uranium until definitive proof of its safety is determined. Along the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, gamma rays from uranium decay have the highest amount of energy delivered in them. In clinical medicine, it is standard practice to limit exposures to Xrays, which have about 100 times less energy than gamma rays. Longterm exposure to the relatively benign radiation from the sun, with its ultraviolet rays delivering less energy than even Xrays, is known to cause malignant skin damage, which has led to clinical guidelines encouraging sunscreen use. We are unconvinced that uranium can safely be exempt from even more stringent precautions. We do recognise that the IPCC notes, as you say, that the carbon costs of nuclear fuel are on par with other nonfossil fuel sources. This consensus has emerged from much scientific debate, with some studies placing nuclear energys carbon costs as midway between fo

ssil fuel and wind. Confounding factors exist in these assessments how much of the uranium cycle has been taken into account including the carbonintensive enrichment process, the carbon sustainability of uranium sourcing into the future, and the mix of energy in any particular grid are examples. A summary of some of these nuances can be found here urlhttpwww.nature.comclimate20080810fullclimate.2008.99.htmlhttpwww.nature.comclimate20080810fullclimate.2008.99.htmlurl. We do also note that these confounding factors may resolve as nuclear technology becomes more carbonefficient. Nonetheless, Symposium participant Mycle Schneider also suggests that even if we assume that carbon emissions of uranium are extraordinarily low, the investment of time required to set up a nuclear grid means that a highcarbon economy would persist for a while, when lowcarbon alternatives are urgently needed to mitigate climate change. A shift to solar, as done in Germany for instance, can be established much more rapidly. While we are

not endorsing solar as a solution, we are intrigued by the possibility of including this costofwaiting in carbon accounting of energy sources. One final philosophical note while we hold science in high esteem, we also recognise that the institutions and processes that result in scientific knowledge are dynamic systems subject to social pressures. The interests of government and industry shape the resources devoted to exploring questions. Although often limited in research capacity itself, civil society can influence this distribution of resources through activism and advocacy, but sometimes has to face powerful interests that benefit from ignorance or manipulation at large. We have little reason to dismiss our contacts concerns in northern Saskatchewan that they find the transparency in public health officials lacking, and the health system woodenly unresponsive to their questions. For a long time, as governments and industry blew off the concerns of workers, people died because there was no evidence that asb

estos can be lethal. Just because there is no evidence regarding a certain link does not necessarily mean that there are no real correlations. It could also mean that no one has bothered to pursue a question, or that everyone has been actively prevented from doing so. Contemporary science is rarely an eternal truth, but often a constant negotiation. From Baijayanta Mukhopadhyay and Lori Hanson in Montreal and Saskatoon, Canada on Apr 24th, 2015 at 801am

VistaScreen Halloween Stereoviews from Betty Brimmers Puppet Theatre Stanley Long set out to take some stereoviews of puppets for children to enjoy. Unfortunately he went to Betty Brimmer's Puppet Theatre, which is a thoroughly grotesque and ghastly place, full of misshapen ghouls, racist caricatures, and little girls who are soon to be bear food. Indigenous Peoples Day Wickenburg Massacre and White Perspective T.H. O'Sullivan's portrayals of Indigenous peoples are indisputably amongst the most lauded. But are they also problematic? Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day, and I will utilize this opportunity to examine the white perspectives that have pervaded our culture through the lens of one of the "great stereographers".

For Julie Be afraid be very afraid For Jenny Twenty two years ago today I was giving birth to my first child and celebrating my first Mothers Dayall at the same time. Last night I watched that child walk down an aisle in cap and gown and receive her Bachelors degree in Arts. Today I salute her for her achievements and her perseverance. Last night at 1203 A. M. I called a tearful child to be the first to wish her a Happy Birthday and remembered what it was like to be separated from my mother by obligations, time and some one elses need. To this grown up toddler I say quite compassionately. It will be ok. The miles between us will never matter. The time that exists in between hugs and kisses will never be calculated and my heart while fickle about things like deciding between kosher or dill pickles and thick or thin crust pizza, will never falter in its admiration and love for the tiny child that first brought me the joys and terrors of motherhood. And to my other two daughters who taunt and terrorize me on a

daily basis I will always honor the gift you are to me. I will always be here and now thanks to Charley, I will know it is possible to always be at your side.

Orlando plans maglev; how will Vegas respond? For months, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Rossi Ralenkotter has been sounding the alarm that its imperative that Las Vegas enhance its tourism infrastructure to maintain its lead as the nations top tourism destination. By RICHARD N. VELOTTA LAS VEGAS BUSINESS PRESS June 1, 2015 300 am Artist's rendering of Orlando's planned maglev system, which is scheduled to break ground later this year. Courtesy photo by Ricardo Plc Ralenkotters focus has been on the Las Vegas Convention Center campus, which will be transformed into the Las Vegas Global Business District over the next decade. It started with the acquisition of the Riviera hotelcasino, and eventually will evolve into adding exhibit hall space, more meeting rooms, a general conference facility with thousands of seats and office space within a World Trade Center building. One of the less visible components under consideration is the enhancement of transportation facilities and that

includes more than just the Convention Center campus, which may need an onsite circulator system to move conventioneers over the expanded area. It also includes mobility issues for the thousands of more people the convention industry hopes to attract as the Global Business District takes shape. That means efficiently moving people from the airport to the citys major convention facilities and to the resorts. While some seem convinced that people will continue to come to Las Vegas regardless of what happens to the transportation infrastructure, others arent so sure. One of Las Vegas convention rivals, Orlando, Fla., will put that to the test in the next couple of years with plans to enhance its transportation system from Orlando International Airport to the Orange County Convention Center and a cluster of hotels. Last month, Orlando officials announced plans to begin construction next year of a magnetic levitation system that would link the airport east to the convention center and International Drive, the hom

e of several hotels surrounding the center. Marietta, Ga.based American Maglev Technology will break ground later this summer on the 13.7mile, privately funded 400 million system that will transport passengers for between 10 and 16 a trip. American Maglev is partnering with Ricardo Plc, a British engineering and design company with an American presence in suburban Detroit, to provide the vehicles for the system. Contractors are promising a quick, smooth ride between the airport and International Drive. Many longtime Las Vegans have a familiarity with maglev technology because it was touted for possible use between Southern California and Las Vegas as an alternative to highspeed rail in the 1980s and 90s. Maglev has many advantages over traditional steel wheels on rails, including reduced maintenance costs since there are minimal contact points between track and vehicle the train levitates atop a magnetic field generated by a guideway. Another plus for maglev is its speed. In recent weeks, a Japanese maglev s

ystem broke records by reaching 373 mph on test runs. The Orlando project isnt selling itself with speed records, but efficiency. After all, how fast do you have to go when youre only traveling 13.7 miles? Las Vegas big advantage over most convention cities has been the close proximity between the airport, hotel rooms and convention centers. A conventioneer hypothetically could land at McCarran International Airport and be on the tradeshow floor or in a hotel room within an hour. Once the Orlando maglev is place, Las Vegas closeproximity advantage disappears. With the new system in place, its likely that some trade shows would want to take a look at Orlando simply to check out the new system and see how much it enhances the visitor and convention experience. Which leads us to Las Vegas counterpunch. The details still havent been fleshed out, but Ralenkotter, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and several transportation experts recently unveiled some recommendations for what the citys tr

ansportation scene could look like in the next five, 10 and 20 years. The Transportation Investment Business Plan, as its being called, is jawdropping in its breadth and its prospective expense. Imagine a subway beneath Las Vegas Boulevard serving the Strip corridor from Hacienda Avenue to Sahara Avenue with underground stations at Strip resorts and possibly extending farther north to downtown below or above ground. Consider a lightrail system connecting the airport with some existing or proposed transportation options across the valley. Think about the potential of connecting Southern Nevadas three largest convention facilities the Las Vegas Convention Center, the expanding Mandalay Bay Convention Center and the Sands Expo Center with an extension of the Las Vegas Monorail to Mandalay Bay and construction of a new station near the Sands. Committee members also are considering that some day the oftendiscussed dream of building a highspeed rail line between Las Vegas and Southern California would become a re

ality and extending the monorail to the most likely location for a station, across Interstate 15 from Mandalay Bay, would be a necessity. Those proposals, incidentally, are all on the list of longterm improvements, viewed as possibilities between 10 and 20 years from now, or midterm improvements, occurring between five and 10 years from today. Theres no doubt the projects would be expensive, some possibly prohibitively expensive. But thats probably what those in Orlando thought about installing a maglev line from the airport to its resort and convention corridor. If Las Vegas doesnt start thinking about solutions to looming transportation problems, itll someday be looking up to the Orlandos of the world and wondering what happened.

Connecticut Health Investigative Team httpschit.org20151106gameteachessexualsafetyisnothingtoplaywith2 Game Teaches Sexual Safety Is Nothing to Play With By Cara Rosner November 6, 2015 Subscribe to Women's Health Researchers at Yale University are testing whether a humorous card game can help young, black women reduce their chances of contracting HIV and AIDSpart of a new but growing trend examining whether games can spur health behavior changes. Played among three to five people, One Night Stan has players draw cards to establish sexual scenarios and then prompts players to discuss how they would react in those settings. The game, developed by play2PREVENT, a gaming lab within the Yale School of Medicine, is still a prototype, but designers are hoping to launch a video game version eventually and bring it to a broader audience. Its really about evaluating sexual situations and encounters, said Kimberly Hieftje, a developer of the game who is an associate research scientist at Yale School of Medicine and de

puty director of the play2PREVENT Lab. A growing number of developers, in Connecticut and nationally, are testing whether card, video, online and mobile games are effective tools for getting people to make healthier choices. Using games for social reasons is still relatively new, said Elena Bertozzi, associate professor of game design and development at Quinnipiac University. She also is founder of the Engender Games Group Lab, which gives Quinnipiac students and alumni opportunities to develop and program games. In her research, Bertozzi developed a game intended to persuade children to get flu shots, and most recently has been assisting the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico by developing a smartphonebased game aimed at reducing sexually transmitted diseases among homosexual men in Mexico City. There is not much data on games effectiveness as behaviorchanging tools, she said, though early indications suggest games can be very effective in addressing specific problems among a targeted demographic.

Increasingly, game developers are making a concerted effort to collect data about games outcomes, for example, tracking whether game play makes players more likely to have safe sex, Bertozzi said. Women's Health Research at Yale Photo. Players test One Night Stan. Games, particularly ones that integrate some type of personal narrative, have been shown to spur health behavior changes among players, according to the National Institutes of Health NIH, but further research into their effectiveness is needed. A 2009 NIH study examined the impact 25 healthrelated video games had on those who played them and found most people demonstrated positive healthrelated changes from playing. The most successful games were interactive, had a specifically tailored message, had a moral and told a story, according to NIH. One good thing about play is its a way of getting around embarrassment and shame, Bertozzi said, noting people seem more open to discussing personal topics as part of a game. Knowledge is power, and a lot of p

eople dont have good information about sexual practices and thats one of the reasons they make poor decisions. People who have played Yales One Night Stan have been very receptive to its healthrelated messaging, more so than they would if it were presented differently, said Dr. Lynn Fiellin, associate professor of medicine at the Yale Child Study Center and director of the play2PREVENT Lab. Games are particularly engaging and interactive, she said. You hope that not only are they more engaged but the content really sticks. In One Night Stan, each player picks a card with a mans name on it and another card telling her where she met the man. Subsequent cards give the player additional characteristics of the man and, at some point, she must decide whether or not to sleep with him. Should she opt to have unprotected sex, there are consequences. The game is geared for black women between the ages of 18 to 25. Women from Greater Bridgeport, through a partnership with the University of Bridgeport, and women from Gre

ater New Haven tested the game in pilot groups. The game sparked real, serious conversations about sexual safety among players in the pilot groups, Hieftje said. The goal is to empower women to insist their partners wear condoms and get tested for HIV, Hieftje said. We wanted to make this a humorous game. We wanted it to be fun and engaging. Of the estimated 47,500 new HIV infections in the United States in 2010, women made up 20 percent, or 9,500 of the new infections, according to the most recent data available from the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention CDC. When comparing groups by race, and other factors, new cases among black women totaled 5,300 64 percent compared with 1,800 18 percent among whites and 1,400 15 percent among HispanicsLatinos, the CDC reports. Other sexually transmitted diseases also are more prevalent among black women than other races. In 2013, the rate of chlamydia among black women was roughly six times higher than that among white women, according to the CDC, while gon

orrhea rates were 12 times higher in black women than in whites. Hieftje said she is encouraged by the early results of card game, adding that players reported the game prompted them to get tested for HIVAIDS and to ask their sexual partners to get tested. The game actually was changing attitudes, knowledge and even behavior, Hieftje said. So far, development of the game has been funded by a grant from Womens Health Research at Yale, an independent center within Yale School of Medicine. Focus groups ended last December and developers have spent the months since exploring funding options to finalize the prototype version of the card game and develop a video game. This is not the first game the Yale lab has developed to address risky sexual behavior. In 2009, play2PREVENT created a game aimed at helping teens reduce their HIV risk. That game, called PlayForward Elm City Stories, was piloted among more than 300 youths in Greater New Haven and participants are being trackedagainst a control group that played typi

cal puzzle gamesto see whether playing the game has impacted their sexual behavior, Fiellin said. Video Games Aim To Reduce Risky Behavior Among Teens, Young Adults Womens health is the next frontier for a team of medical researchers at Yale who believe video games can be powerful tools in the fight against HIV and other serious diseases. For the last several years, Yales Play2Prevent lab has been a hub of collaboration between doctors and computer programmers testing the capacity of games to educate users and, perhaps, even change risky behavior. 3 thoughts on Game Teaches Sexual Safety Is Nothing to Play With lisalake on November 18, 2015 at 640 am said Shamefully pathetic and degrading in 2015 this is what we get from prestigious medical researchers and think tanks just painful. Grants for games. Kira SullivanWiley on November 19, 2015 at 404 pm said I disagree. There is nothing pathetic about research on identifying effective ways to educate and encourage less risky behavior. Whats painful is the reality

of the differences in disease transmission rates in different populations in 2015. Research that figures out how to reduce these rates and help people to make healthier choices should get more funding, not less. Thomas Heinzen on May 30, 2016 at 846 am said Yes, this is what we get from prestigious medical researchers or any other kind of researcher interested in penetrating the range of human motivations. Humans have been playing serious games for centuries, probably since prehistory, so it is about time we started tapping into what humans already love to do.

Who is Community Action? What is a Community Action agency? Community Action is unique! Virtually every county in the United States has a Community Action agency which is a local organization charged by the federal government with the sweeping mission of fighting poverty. We help ensure a safety net for lowincome individuals and families, but even more importantly, we create opportunities for people to move from poverty to independence. We address local causes and conditions of poverty with input from our entire community, including the lowincome people we serve. We are distinct from other local organizations and nonprofits in several ways. First, we are governed by a volunteer tripartite Board of Directors. Our Board has equal representation from the lowincome community, local elected officials, and a wide array of public and private community stakeholders. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of needs in our community, which then guides our decisions about programs and services. This assessment identifies

the causes and conditions of poverty in our region, along with the barriers to selfsufficiency, and innovative ways to address these issues. As a result, we provide a holistic and comprehensive response to the full range of challenges facing lowincome people. Everything we do is through partnerships with numerous public and private sector organizations. We know that local communities benefit from a broad but coordinated range of resources and initiatives, which also include volunteers donating their time and talent. We are a trusted organization with longstanding relationships and deep roots in our community. Our flexibility and close ties to the community make us able to respond quickly to emergent needs. The mission of Tri County Community Action is build on the strengths and resources available, provide solutions for complex issues, and empower individuals, families, and communities to move out of poverty. That we all live in a community free from poverty. Community Action changes peoples lives, embodies

the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves, and each other.

Truckee River Gets A Transplant Of Native Lahontan Cutthroat By Chris Cocoles 1017 am Editor's Blog 0 Comments Photo by Dan HottleUSFWS The following press release is courtesy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in cooperation with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, are on track to stock more than 50,000 native Lahontan cutthroat trout into the mainstem Truckee River and in Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, Nevada, this year. A Lahontan National Fish Hatchery stocking truck pulls into Verdi Pond in Verdi, Nevada, in preparation to stock thousands of native Lahontan cutthroat trout. The stocking is done each year in the Truckee River system. Credit Dan HottleUSFWS The stocking is part of an ongoing effort to increase recreational fishing opportunities and to provide public awareness of decades worth of conservation efforts for the famed monster trout. The Lahontan cutthroat is the state fish of Nevada. The prehistoricera lacustrine, or lakedwelling, form of the s

pecies resides in Nevadas Pyramid Lake, the Truckee River and Tahoe Basin. It was conserved and raised from a broodstock at the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery in Gardnerville. Over the past 20 years, the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex, where the fish are raised, has expanded partnerships with the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the state of California to help raise this unique population of Lahontan cutthroat trout. Every year, tens of thousands of fish are stocked in the Truckee River Basin, so anglers from all over the world can experience the thrill of catching a unique native species. Reno, Nevada resident Benjamin Harris and his son watch as hundreds of yearling Lahontan cutthroat trout are released into Rock Park in Reno in May.

My son and I had a great time watching these incredible fish being moved from the big hatchery truck into the river, s

aid Harris. We appreciate the opportunity the biologists gave us that day to learn more about the Lahontan cutthroat and all the hard work thats gone into conserving it. My son and I made a lot of great new fishing memories. Stocked fish are 810inch catchable yearlings that are transported by truck from the hatchery to ponds and stream locations and released at different points along the 120mile length of the river system between Pyramid Lake and Californias Lake Tahoe. A total of 14 locations are being stocked with roughly 40,000 destined for the Truckee River and nearly 12,000 headed for local angling ponds in Verdi and Reno.

The reestablishment of this beautiful,

unique trout back in its Truckee River home is the result of decades worth of work from our dedicated tribal, state and federal fish biologists who are proud to continue to make the Truckee Basin a worldclass native fishing destination. Stocking will continue into midJuly, and the hatchery crew hopes to release up to 50,000 new cutthroat before the season winds down. Fisheries biologists encourage members of the public to visit the Truckee River for a chance to catch a worldclass, native trout.

HomePosts tagged 'Storks' Worst to Best Animated Films of 2016 Part 2 April 15, 2017 camseyeview Editorials, Lists Belladonna of Sadness, Dreamworks, Editorial, Illumination Entertainment, Justice League vs Teen Titans, Lists, Sausage Party, SING, Storks, The Angry Birds Movie, The Monkey King Hero is Back, The Secret of Kells, Trolls, Warner Animation Group, Worst to Best Animated Films of 2016 Welcome back, everyone, to part 2 of this very long list. As usual, if you havent seen part 1, here is a link to it. Im counting down the worsttothebest animated films that I saw from 2016, and we shall now move onto the films that are middle of the road, disappointing, and at the very least, visually interesting. 27. Monkey King Hero is Back Want an example of one of the worst dubs that I can ever think of? This movie is the prime example of a distributor that didnt really care about pushing out a good dub for this popular Chineseanimated CGI action flick. It sounds like they were rushing to get this out, and ignored

the level of quality. Even then, a good dub wouldnt have saved the other problems this film has, like its very Hollywoodized version of the legendary folk tale, horrible jokes, the multiple times the kid should have died but didnt, and the better than most, but still middling animation. The fight scenes are fun to watch, and out of all the Chineseanimation schlock that Lionsgate, for some reason, likes to bring over, Monkey King Hero is Back is watchable. Its the most watchable one out of those films, but that doesnt mean much when the rest isnt worth sitting through. 26. Justice League vs. Teen Titans Man, it was kind of tough to say this was better than The Killing Joke, because I dont like this one a lot either. Not only is the title misleading, since the Titans dont fight the actual League members, but rather fight Trigonpossessed version of them, and get floored by them, but it also focuses way too much on quite possibly the worst character in the current DCanimated film universe, Damian Wayne. Yes, I g

et why he is as he is, and he does get a good fight later on in the film, but they focused way too much on the guy when it wasnt really his story. This left the film with very underdeveloped characters that I hope get more screentime in the upcoming Teen Titans The Judas Contractspoiler alert They do.. I do like some of the characters and the scenes in Justice League vs. Teen Titans, but if this was supposed to be the one reason why we got Young Justice season 3, or anything Teen Titansrelated, then I feel scammed, because I had to support a bad movie to get good stuff! 25. The Angry Birds Movie Talk about a film that had no reason to be anything but terrible, and ended up a rather decent experience. While I dont think its a great movie, it probably had more effort put into its writing and characters, than any of the previous films on this list. For the most part, I still enjoyed the films dialogue, the jokes, and Red and his cohorts were fun to watch. Yeah, everything starts to dissolve into terrible film tr

ipe when the pigs show up, the Mighty Eagle played by Peter Dinklage was pointless and easily the worst part of the movie beyond the celebrity cameos, but by the end, I was enjoying myself due to the voice work. While definitely a mediocre film, its the best video game adaptation to have come out to put a lot of the video game film adaptations to shame. 24. The Secret Life of Pets While Im fine with this film doing well in the box office, since it shows original films can do well, The Secret Life of Pets still feels so painfully average. It doesnt do anything in its story well, but its not bad either in what it does. I can see why people were so upset with this films success, due to how unoriginal and bland it can be. It also doesnt help that it had 100 different characters who had no real personality to them. Everything was well voice acted and animated well, but the writing was weak, and the characters needed more time to either be fleshed out or taken out of the film altogether. While definitely leagues be

tter than most films from 2016, The Secret Life of Pets will be yet another example of Illumination Entertainment having a great idea, but no noteworthy execution of said idea. 23. Trolls Honestly, this film was much higher on the list at one time. I loved the art style, the animation, the voice work, and some of the fairytalestyle ideas. I also loved the idea of happiness that it attempted to show throughout the film. Because of all this, it rose above such horrible first impressions with that very first teaser trailer. However, as time went on, I kept bumping it down the list. It might have great ideas, but it never takes full advantage of them. About 80 of the characters dont have any real character to them outside of their celebrity voices, and much of this otherwisesolid movie felt very manufactured. Like, really? Did we need Gwen Stefani as one of the characters, when she barely has a voice or role? Still, its an enjoyable watch, but I get why some were not so happy about this film. 22. Belladonna of Sa

dness Yes, this one counts, since it was never released in the states, even though it came out in the 1970s. Belladonna of Sadness was the final film from this adult animated trilogy that was started by the grandfather of all anime creators, Osamu Tezuka. Its a beautifully abstract animated film, with all the trippy sexual energy you would see in an animated films from the 70s aimed at adults. Unfortunately, due to how limited the actual animation is, and how uncomfortable the beginning of the film is, its sexual themes will probably turn off a lot of people to this film. Its the one film I can think of where I will agree and disagree at the same time if you love or hate this movie. Its a bizarre and interesting experience that is definitely worth checking out if you are into film or animation history. 21. Sausage Party Just like Trolls, Sausage Party was higher on the list at one point, but as usual, I thought about it and bumped it down a few pegs. It was mostly because while I found the film funny, a lot o

f its humor was miss, since Im picky about my stoner humor, and of course, the controversy revolving around the abused animators really does bring this film down. Its a shame, too, because there was a lot of effort put into its themes and writing, it was a hilarious parody of Pixarstyle films, and its great that this film opened the door for more animated films to be aimed at adults. Its still a blast to watch, but your mileage may vary depending on who you are, but hey, thats comedy. 20. Storks This was an amusing surprise, and a sad tragedy that this film didnt do better in terms of box office numbers. I wont deny that I get why people are split on this film, but at the very least, I sat through the entire film and found it to be a really great comedic watch. Yes, its worldbuilding and characters are not well fleshed out, but it had the best comedy of the comedybased animated films of the year. It had beautiful, fastpaced animation, a great comedic cast of actors, and its an entertaining experience. I wish

it was better, since it doesnt reach The LEGO Movie or Shrek 2, in terms of animated comedy heights, but Im definitely going to be watching this one again in the future. 19. SING Oh, hey, look, another Illumination Entertainment film is low on the list. While I do admire that the studio was branching out in 2016 with two new films that are not Despicable Merelated, it still had plenty of the flaws you would find in these films, with underdeveloped characters, stories, and, once again, a great crowdpleasing idea that isnt taken fully advantage of. It was really aggravating, because this films advertising was everywhere, to an extremely nauseating degree. Even then, I still had fun watching this movie. The animation was great, the designs are solid, the contestants are relatable and likable, the music is fantastic, the actors did a great job portraying their characters, and it was a film Im glad was better than what I was thinking it would be. I always like being surprised. I just hope Illumination can step up

their game with future films. That is it for Part 2 of the list, be prepared for part 3 in the future.

When The LEGO Movie came out back in 2014, it took the world by storm. It was one of the biggest films of the year, and one of the biggest surprises in movie history. Everyone thought this was going to be a cyni

cal cashin like Home or Minions, but it ended up being better than what anyone could imagine. The directors and writers put in their all for this one movie, and it paid off with being one of the best animated films of the decade. It also showed that just because you are based on a toy, doesnt mean you have to be terrible. It was a huge victory for Warner Brothers, and a great start to their new redone animation branch. So, to me, Storks had a lot to live up to. Released back in 2016, Storks was released by Warner Brothers, and while not bombing, it didnt do as well as The LEGO Movie, and got mixed reviews. You either enjoyed the movie, or you got really irritated with it. Where do I stand on this film from director duo Doug Sweetland and Nicholas Stoller? Well, lets find out. Storks is set in a world where, well, storks dont deliver babies to households anymore, and are more like a cartoon version of what Amazon wants to do with delivery drones and deliverypackaged goods. The lead or one of the leads is a sto

rk named Junior, voiced by Andy Samberg, who is close to being the new boss of the company that is, as of right, now run by a stork named Hunter, voiced by Kelsey Grammar. While Junior may be close to getting the new position of boss, he is told to fire and get rid of the one human that is working there, an orphan named Tulip, voiced by Katie Crown. After some shenanigans, Junior and Tulip end up accidentally turning on the old babymaking machine literally a machine and, well, make a baby. Its then up to them to get it to the family that requested it, while avoiding Hunter, a small pigeon voiced by Stephen Kramer Glickman, a pack of wolves played by KeeganMichael Key and Jordan Peele, and a stork that went rogue long ago named Jasper, voiced by Danny Trejo. So, this is a lot to take in with its comedic setup, execution, and world. How does it all work? Well, for me at the very least, this is one of those movies that could and should have had a couple of more lookovers to polish it all out. I knew going in, th

at this movie would be more on the comedic side of things, and that would be okay. Im fine when a comedy wants to be a comedy, but if you are going to add heart and soul to your comedy, it needs to be balanced out with the funny moments. I mean, think about some of the great comedies of the last two decades or so. Comedies like Hot Fuzz, Kung Fu Panda, and Shrek 2 work because while they are very funny, you still cared about the characters and what they were going through. It was icing on the cake that the movie was gut busting hilarious. At least for me, Storks doesnt really reach that height of comedy. I dont think its two leads, while wellvoiced and can work off each other well, have the greatest of character development. You get Tulips drive to find her family and to make sure the baby gets to its family, but Junior doesnt really have the best drive as a character. It doesnt help either that it goes through a liars reveal trope, but I can give it credit that it doesnt daudle too long on that part of the s

tory. It also would have been nice if characters like Jasper and Hunter could have had more time to be fleshed out or be even funnier or more entertaining as characters. Even the family that the baby is supposed to be taken to, with parents played by Ty Burrell and Jennifer Aniston, should be funnier than what you get in the movie. Maybe its because they are fairly white bread overworked parents, but when you have those two actors, you can do more with them, and we know they can do more since both have been in fantastic animated films like The Iron Giant and Finding Dory. Now then, how is the comedy? Well, like most comedies that can be considered good or entertaining, there are some great jokes that are hilarious when done well, a few amusing jokes that make you chuckle, and some that fall flat. Its a shame more films dont take the route that the best comedies have taken, and pick and choose their jokes and not fall onto some of the more popular tropes in comedies. A lot of the visual gags and lines work, du

e to the animation of the film, but you do hear a groaner here and there, and characters like Pigeon Toady will either be annoying or hilarious depending on whom you are as an individual. Now, the film does try to cover up some plot holes by being very meta about it, with characters literally asking why these things exist, and that became fairly distracting. To me, meta humor is starting to slowly hit that point where its less about being very funny and clever, and more about using meta humor to hide and ignore that the story has issues. Why is the baby machine still around? Why were there storks delivering babies when there are morenatural ways of having babies? Why did the incident with Tulip shut down everything in terms of baby delivery? Why is the off button behind a bunch of razor blades? I know when it comes to cartoon comedies, you have to just go with the flow, but the meta humor rides the line of covering up lazy worldbuilding and writing. Now, that is not to say that I hate this movie. I know I jus

t criticized it a whole bunch, but I found Storks to be an incredibly entertaining ride. The animation is great, its the right kind of fast, it helps the physical comedy hit it out of the park multiple times, and its got great designs. This is the same studio that did Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and it looks so much better than what the studio had to do with in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. Seriously, watch that movie and tell me that you see how cheap it looks compared to the original Cloudy film. Anyway, the voice cast also does a fantastic job. Sure, you get some pretty solid performances from some of the actors like Ty Burrell and Jennifer Aniston, and a majority of the cast sounds very engaged with their performances. I also give Warner Brothers so much credit for casting an actual honesttogoodness voice actress for Tulip. Tulips actress, Katie Crown, is an actress most known for her role as Izzy from the Total Drama franchise. Its just so rare that actual voice actors get major roles in an

imated films. It could have been so easy to just get a bubbly bigname actress to do this role, but they pretty much said screw that, and got an honesttogravy voice actress. As for a comedic cast, its really solid stuff. Andy Samberg, Keegan Michael Keye, Jordan Peele, Kelsey Grammar, Stephen Kramer Glickman, Danny Trejo, and Katie Crown all work off each other well and have some pretty great chemistry. For the comedy itself, I was laughing at multiple points in the movie, from the introduction of Key and Peeles wolf characters, to the encounter with the penguins. Storks brings in very much out there brands of comedy that you would see in a Looney Toons short. I mean, it is Warner Brothers, they should know how this all works by now. Even the somewhat boring white bread family gets some great lines, but that should be no surprise, due to Ty Burrell and Jennifer Aniston being used to flexing their comedic muscles before. Storks might be a bit clunky in the worldbuilding and story department, but it brings in so

many laughs that it pretty much makes for an enjoyable ride. However, do I understand why it didnt do well in the box office, and why critics were split on the film? Of course I do. I might like the film and recommend it for a good fun animated comedy, but you should be able to understand when someone else couldnt get into it. Still, if you feel like you are in the mood for a comedy thats less reliant on raunchy comedy and stock humor, Storks is that comedy. Well then, its time we look at films from 2017, and we shall start with Nerdland. Thank you for reading. I hope you all enjoyed the article, and I will see you next time.

Given our singlepayer... Neil Fraser, president of Medtronic Canada and regional vicepresident Canada, Medtronic plc In Canada, I am often asked to speak about valuebased procurement. Given our singlepayer provincial healthcare systems in Canada, the importance of getting procurement right here is profound. Im interested in the topic because it can help improve patient access to new therapies e.g., leadless pacemakers and stent retrievers for stroke, and it could potentially serve as an enabler for valuebased healthcare models. VALUE DEFINED Value is defined as patient outcomes relative to the cost to deliver those outcomes. Valuebased procurement then is making purchasing decisions that consider how a product or solution can best deliver the outcomes being measured and reduce

the total cost of care rather than focusing exclusively on purchasing a specific product at the lowest possible price. FROM DOCTORS TO PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALS For context, 10 years ago, physicians decided what medical device was right for their patients.1 For example, if a patient needed a pacemaker, his or her doctor might consider factors such as age and the likelihood of needing an MRI. To curb the rising cost of healthcare and standardize the process of procurement, hospitals have since relied more heavily on procurement professionals to make purchasing decisions. The consequence is that a doctors ability to get his or her patients access to a given pacemaker e.g., a leadless pacemaker is dependent on the outcome of a tender. Healthcare procurement professionals tend to work in isolation from the clinical environment, physically removed from what the hospital is doing. Over time the focus on cost reduction has been taken to such an extreme that clinical benefits and longterm value is often depriorit

ized for the sake of shortterm savings. Progressive health systems in Canada are starting once again to include physicians in decisionmaking to better understand the usability and clinical outcomes of products and services. At the same time, hospitals and procurement organizations are trying to better understand the concepts of valuebased healthcare. And at Medtronic, we are committed to bringing together key stakeholders from procurement professionals to patient advocates to help ensure our products and services are benefitting the entire system. This is the case in Ontario, where innovative procurement models have emerged thanks, in part, to the emergence of competitive dialogue, which allows hospitals to go to tender for a solution rather than just a product. Competitive dialogue also means they can discuss that solution with suppliers during the tender process. Here are three things you can do to better understand innovative procurement Read the story of the first hospital in Ontario to leverage this ne

How to Find a Good Sportsbook How to Find the Best Online Casinos Skills You Must Possess to Be a Good Poker Player Poker is a card game where players try to make the best hand possible. It is played with a 52card deck, a betting pool, and a set of rules. It is keluaran hk usually played by two to seven people, although five or six is ideal. The best poker players are skilled in reading other players, have patience, and develop strategies. These traits allow them to be successful in any situation, whether its in a highstakes tournament or a lowstakes cash game. One of the most important skills a poker player must possess is the ability to read other players body language. This skill can help in many areas of life, including sales, leadership, and giving presentations. Being able to identify tells can be essential in business, but poker is particularly good at this because it forces players to watch and listen to their opponents, which can give them invaluable information about how strong their hands are. Kn

owing when to raise or fold can also be a key strategy in poker. By raising, you may be able to bluff your opponent into folding a weak hand. This can be a great way to gain information about your opponents, as well as an opportunity to improve your hand with a free card on the next betting round. Another important skill to have is the ability to evaluate a hand on the fly. This can be a difficult skill to learn at first, but its vital for maximizing your winnings in the long run. You can do this by calculating the probability of getting a certain card on the flop, then weighing that against the risk of raising your bet. As you become better at this, youll be able to make more educated decisions in the moment. The best poker players have the ability to understand when to bluff and when to fold. This is important because it can make or break your winnings. By bluffing, you can force your opponents to bet more money and narrow the field of players who have weaker hands than yours. By folding, you can lose a lot

of money before you win any. This is especially true if you have a bad hand, since it can be very easy to lose all of your chips if your opponent catches on and calls your bet. Bluffing can be a very effective strategy in poker, but new players often feel timid about playing trashy hands, which is why they tend to call instead of raise. They think their hand is too weak to bluff, but the flop can transform their trash into a monster in a hurry! Playing poker can be a fun and exciting experience, but its important to only do it when youre feeling happy and confident. This will help to prevent you from making mistakes that will cost you a lot of money in the long run.

New WWF International President Just As Humans Are Not Defined By Their Need To Breathe, Corporations Should Not Be Limited To The Drive For Profits This article was originally published on Phys.org Todays corporations inflict significant negative externalities on the planet, said Sukhdev. They need to recognise that responsibility.Just as humans are not defined by their need to breathe, Sukhdev argued, corporations should not be limited to the drive for profits. WWF International, he said, is a powerful platform for nudging business in the right direction. Shaming is not outside of our remit. But neither is encouragement, he said. We need both. And we is not just WWFit is also the hundreds of millions of people that, under our compact, we shall engage, inspire and mobilise. It involves all of us. As Sukhdev transitioned from banking to environmental economics, he was commissioned in 2007 by the G85 forum of nations, which included China and India, to investigate the economics of biodiversity. The value of th

ese vanishing resources, he concluded, must be entered into societysand corporatebalance sheets. Its not about putting a price on nature, as critics of the concept contend, Sukhdev said. Its for recognising the value, and that it has a public benefit. Scientists estimate that humanity uses nearly twice as much of this natural capital as can be replenished by Earth each year, creating an ever deeper ecological debt Read on at Phys.org Measure Value Express Your Interest in Joining Our COP15 Business Delegation September 6, 2022 Biodiversity, Decision Making, Measure Value MakeItMandatory Join Businesses Around the World Calling for Mandatory Assessment Disclosure on Nature September 6, 2022 Biodiversity, Decision Making, Impacts Dependencies, Measure Value Announcing Two New Capitals Hubs July 25, 2022 Decision Making, Measure Value Align Project Recommendations Open for Consultation

drjudywood.com Judy Wood Dr. Judy Wood earned a Ph.D. Degree from Virginia Tech and is a former professor of mechanical engineering. She has research expertise in experimental stress analysis, structural mechanics, deformation analysis, materials characterization and materials engineering science. Her research has involved testing materials, including complexmaterial systems, in the area of photomechanics, or the use of optical and imageanalysis methods to determine physical properties of materials and measure how materials respond to forces placed on them. Her area of expertise involves interferometry in forensic science. She taught graduate and undergraduate engineering classes and has authored or coauthored over 60 peerreviewed papers and journal publications in her areas of expertise. In the time since 91101, she has applied her expertise in materials science, image analysis and interferometry, to a forensic study of over 40,000 images, hundreds of video clips, a large volume of witness testimony, analyse

s of dust samples, seismic data, and the analysis of other environmental evidence pertaining to the destruction of the World Trade Center complex. Dr. Wood has conducted a comprehensive forensic investigation of what physically happened to the World Trade Center site on 911. And, based on her analysis of the evidence she gathered, in 2007, she filed a federal Qui Tam case for science fraud against the contractors who contributed to the official National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST report about the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. This case was filed in the US Supreme Court in Dec 2009. To this day, Dr. Woods investigation and body of evidence as compiled in her book is the only comprehensive forensic investigation in the public domain.

Engineering Mechanics Applied Physics, 1983, and Ph.D. Materials Engineering Science, 1992 from the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Her dissertation involved the development of an experimental method to measure thermal stresses in bimaterial joints. She has taught courses including Experimental Stress Analysis, Engineering Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials Strength of Materials Strength of Materials Testing Judy D. Wood is a former professor of mechanical engineering with research interests in experimental stress analysis, structural mechanics, optical methods, deformation analysis, and the materials characterization of biomaterials and composite materials. She is a member of the Society for Experimental Mechanics SEM, c

ofounded SEMs Biological Systems and Materials Division, and has served on the SEM Composite Materials Technical Division. From 1999 to 2006 Dr. Wood has been an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. Before moving to Clemson she spent three years as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech. One of Dr. Woods research interests is biomimicry, or applying the mechanical structures of biological materials to engineering design using engineering materials. Other recent research has investigated the deformation behavior of materials and structures with complex geometries and complex material properties, such as fiberreinforced composite materials and biological materials. Dr. Wood is an expert in the use of moir interferometry, a fullfield optical method that is used in stress analysis, as well as materials characterization and other types of interference. In recent years, Dr. Wo

od and her students have developed optical systems with various wavelengths and waveguides. Dr. Wood has over 60 technical publications in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and edited monographs and special technical reports. Dr. Wood started to question the events of 911 on that same day when what she saw and heard on television was contradictory and appeared to violate the laws of physics. Since that day she has used her knowledge of engineering mechanics to prove that the collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers could not have happened as the American public was told.

Outcomes and Investments 10 Opportunities to Partner with Enrollment By Billie Streufert Colleges and universities across the country are facing many challenges and enrollment is usually high on the list. Fewer students are able to pay for the everrising costs of higher education, while the number of high school graduates has been gradually declining and will continue in this trajectory until 20142015 Higher Education Research Institute, 2010. Couple this with more aggressive and sophisticated marketing from peer institutions and it is the perfect combination for an increasingly competitive market. It is time for career services professionals to develop strategies and mobilize in response to these challenges. Given the scarcity of resources and the fact that the operating budgets of many institutions are dependent on tuition, we cannot afford to delay. The following is a list of opportunities for collaboration with the Enrollment or Admissions function on your campus. Outcome Data When prospective students w

ere asked to rate the factors that were influential in their selection of a college, 56.5 percent of respondents identified graduates employment status as very important. Thirtysix percent also selected alumnis acceptance into top graduate programs Higher Education Research Institute, 2010. At a minimum, our partnership with Enrollment should include followingup with graduates to identify if their degree helped them achieve their professional goals and secure satisfactory employment. Without this transparency, students may be unable to determine their interest in an institution. Facebook, LinkedIn and electronic survey systems have made this data collection even easier. Alumni Student Profiles In addition to quantitative data, we need to provide a face and a story. During the data collection, we can identify graduates who are working at noteworthy organizations or who were admitted into prestigious graduateprofessional school programs. Geographical Advantage Admissions not only markets the institution, but

also the surrounding community. We can help them gain a competitive advantage over peer institutions by sharing information on professional job and internship opportunities. Vibrant communities may also provide more networking activities, as well as opportunities for students to confirm their major through job shadowing or externships. All of this information will capture the interest of prospective students and their families. Employer Feedback Testimonials from reputable organizations that have sponsored interns or hired students can confirm the quality of our degree programs. We also have access to extensive employer surveys from our professional associations and media sources that confirm the needs of organizations and demonstrate the necessity of a college degree. Undecided Students Some students struggle to select a college because they are unsure of their major. Career Services can not only normalize and reframe this uncertainty, but can also outline the many resources that exist to help them discov

er their career goals. Parttime Employment In the current economic climate, affordability is also an influential factor in many students decision. Students who do not qualify for work study or who need to augment their financial aid package with parttime employment will need our help locating jobs, writing resumes and preparing for interviews. Personal Attention It is one thing for Admissions to state that the faculty and staff care deeply about their students; it is quite another for students to experience it. Our most valuable resource is often a simple one ourselves. We are trained to build rapport quickly with others and respond to their needs. This personal attention communicates to students that they are more than a number they are a priority. Distinguishable Values As the market becomes more competitive, we can help Admissions identify the attributes that make our university unique. For example, on my own campus, I have found that I am able to demonstrate the professional value of a liberal arts de

gree. Elaborate on some of the aspects of your institution which provide a career advantage. Cosponsored events If we host an event such as an alumni or employer panel, we should consider extending an invitation to prospective students or planning it around campus visits. It not only demonstrates the quality programming that occurs on campus, but prospective families are often interested in these topics. We can also volunteer to present during campus visits and tours, accepted student days or registration events. Professional Development Finally, we can share information periodically with the Admissions team. Helping a student select a college is not that different from helping an individual choose a major or decide between job offers. Whether it is labor market trends, occupational requirements, salary surveys, or decisionmaking theory, we have expertise to share. Not only will a partnership advance the mission of Admissions, it will also help us leverage the objectives of our own department. Admissions ma

y be willing to split the cost of a publication or advocate for a different physical location for our office so it can be showcased during campus tours. They can also communicate early messages to our future students about career planning and the resources available to them. In the book Involving Colleges, George Kuh and his associates called this anticipatory socialization, and it certainly will make our work less reactive and more effective. If you do not already have a strong alliance with Admissions, take action. Share this article with a colleague in Admissions and begin to engage in a meaningful discussion about future opportunities today. Higher Education Research Institute 2010.
