There are few things on the Internet that make users crazier than changes to Facebook. With the social networking titan preparing for one of its biggest and most potentially profitable changes to date, auto-play videos ads, we can only imagine what the backlash could be.

Your outrage will have to wait, however, as the company has pushed the launch of the new ad format to 2014, according to AllThingsD.

Facebook initially unveiled the service to advertising partners in Dec. 2012 with hopes of an early/mid-2013 rollout. However, now the date has been pushed so far that it likely won't happen by year's end. Allegedly, the reason is that Facebook simply knows just how controversial an update this will be to users and needs more time to prepare.

With the ambitious new program, Facebook and advertisers alike seek to leverage the network's massive audience with bigger, more story-driven ads. The dream is to shift from the targeted "direct response advertising" of the Internet to the broader "brand advertising" of television.

Before fully ripping off the bandage on auto-play video ads though, it's easy to see how parts of the initiative have been integrated into other recent Facebook additions. In September, muted auto-play was added to non-ad news feed videos similar to Vine and the video functionality of Facebook's own Instagram. Meanwhile, just last week, mobile app developers gained the ability to add video to their ads on Facebook.

With changes like these, Facebook is bracing users for auto-play video ads. Now it's only a matter of when they finally take the plunge.

A Facebook spokesman said the company does not comment on rumors.

Martine Rothblatt

AUSTIN, TEXAS—You've seen Her. You've heard about the upcoming Ex Machina movie. Now, meet Martine Rothblatt, a transgender, transhumanist who wants to help you live forever by creating your own personal mind clone. If that sounds like science fiction, it is a fiction the board of her company, United Therapeutics, is sold on—last year she was the highest paid female CEO in the nation, earning $38 million.

Siri is just the beginning, she told the crowd at this year's SXSW conference here in Austin.

"There will be continued advances in software that we see throughout our lives. Eventually, these advances in software will rise to the level of consciousness," Rothblatt said, predicting that at that point, there will be no reason why the human consciousness can't live on indefinitely.

The core idea of transhumanism is that technology will someday free us of our mortal coil. The first step is creating what she calls a mind file. A mind file is a digital record that encapsulates your thoughts, mannerisms, relationships, and more—basically, it's a digital record of your entire self. And if you have a Facebook profile, according to Rothblatt, your mind file is well underway.

"We are living in a world where all of your life is captured," she said. "There is work going on at Amazon, Google, and Apple that is Mindware. It is software designed to process and recreate all of these inputs to create a consciousness."

Once the Mindware has its inputs, it just needs a robot to host it, Rothblatt said. Trust her, she's already done it.

Rothblatt hired a team of roboticists to create a "mind clone" of her wife, Bina Aspen. The mind clone, named Bina48, is a head and torso, albeit one that looks eerily like the real Bina Aspen. Bina48 is remarkably sophisticated for a home-built mind clone: she carries on a conversation, she tweets, and she expresses novel ideas. Rothblatt says soon everyone will be able to have a mind clone like Bina48.

"If I can do this as one person with a robotics team, what happens when we have 100 million makers in the world?" Rothblatt challenged the crowd. "What happens when open-source mindware gets put up on the Web for anyone to download?"

Extending human life isn't just a software problem for Rothblatt; she is also at the forefront of organ transplant technology. One of her current projects involves breeding genetically modified pigs to reduce the rates of organ transplant rejection.

"When we started doing this, the longest a genetically-modified pig organ could survive was two hours, and now we are up to over eight days. It's mind-blowing," she said.

She is also working on a project where a 3D printer is used to create cologne frames that could be filled with your own pluripotent stem cells. If it works, it would allow you to grow your own organs.

Clearly Rothblatt is used to pushing boundaries, but she isn't afraid to address the difficult ethical issues her work brings up. For example, assuming your mind clone does achieve some kind of consciousness, what are the rules for turning it off? The answer for Rothblatt is very close to the golden rule.

"People should be valued the way they value themselves," Rothblatt said. By definition, a mind clone is capable of communication, so we will have to ask them.

"If a cyber-conscious being values their life, it is wrong to kill them," she concluded.

Whatever the fate of artificial mind clones in the future, it seems possible that many of us will live longer thanks to the advances born of Martine Rothblatt's inability to accept limitations.

"We are a species that keeps pushing further and further and further," she said. "There is no line in the sand at which point human consciousness has to end."

Why do schools need to install gsm jammer?

Perfectjammer 2018-01-16

Need install cell phone jammer in school?A school in suzhou has installed a cellphone signal shield in every classroom. Netizens think that, as a school is not the college entrance examination examination site, the installation of mobile phone signal shielding device is not very reasonable, open at ordinary times, and damage the interest of the students and teachers, disable hope school, and remove the mobile phone signal shielding device. Of course, there are those who think the school is doing the right thing.

The reporter came to the west to the great suzhou to visit the site. School students xiao zhao said that they recently in the school's official website to see the purchasing signal blockers notice, "since entering high school, every test, the teacher will take it into the classroom, a power supply plug can use, very convenient." Mr. Zhao said he didn't know whether the shield would be open at ordinary times because he didn't have a cell phone.

The high school student xiaoqian said that during the school period is the state of shutdown, the mobile phone is used when returning home to contact parents. "There is nothing wrong with installing a signal shield in the class, which will ensure normal teaching order." Xiao qian agreed with the school's practice.

There are also students expressing different opinions. Xiaoding, a senior student, thinks that it is better for the school to increase the resources of teachers than to pay for the equipment. "In addition, the installation of a signal shield is a distrust of students. If you really want to play with your phone, this device won't stop you. He felt it was unnecessary for the school to install a signal shield.

"Nowadays, mobile phone addiction is very common. Some children have poor self-control, and the installation of signal blockers can prevent children from playing mobile phones in class. At the same time, it also prevents students from ordering take-out on mobile phones, and parents are more comfortable.

"The classroom is equipped with a cell phone jammer. Another student, surnamed wang, questioned the installation of the signal shield. "Although the child takes mobile phone to school, but always very conscious, we also very trust him." Wang said that although there is a teacher's contact information, but still want to be able to contact the child directly. In any case, it's hard to really prohibit students from using cell phones, even if they have rules. After all, it is very difficult to supervise people on the management level, only with special equipment.

According to this, the larger the headmaster of the affiliated high school of suzhou office anyone miss li reply, school at the weekend for classroom installed mobile phone signal shielding device, including up to three, "blockers only open during the test, in order to prevent the phenomenon of individual students unconsciously, the organization of test specification, guarantee the objective and fair." She said the school does not encourage students to carry mobile phones in principle, and it also stipulates that mobile phones cannot be used in teaching areas and teaching hours.

Wu tianyi, an associate professor at suzhou university's education college, said education aims to promote the implementation of education targets. "Playing with mobile phones and playing games in class can seriously damage education targets, and the installation of mobile phone signal blockers in the classroom can put an end to such behavior and get education back on track. I am personally very supportive of it." Student is not, he argues, with full capacity for civil conduct, now the school assumes the role of guardian, in order to safeguard the fundamental interests of the students, can make the students to a certain part of the right to temporarily suspended.

Public occasions require the restraint of a cell phone jammer In China using mobile phone jammer has become the norm

How Alcohol Affects your Behavior

While deaths related to driving under the influence (DUI) are at record lows, there are still far too many deaths related to alcohol. A good night out can quickly lead to a night of terror, destruction and death. But when you are having that good time, how can you know how much is too much?

Legal Limit for Your Blood Alcohol Concentration

In all 50 states, the legal limit for your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08. This is still too vague to know how much is too much, because a woman weighing only 120 pounds can reach .08 with only 2 servings of alcohol where a 180 pound man can reach .08 in 4. Let’s look at the science and feel of it all.

When you reach a BAC level of 0.020 a few subtle changes occur. At this level the body starts to relax and experience a decline in visual function and the ability to multi-task. While this BAC usually occurs with only one serving of alcohol – the equivalent to one shot of liquor or a five-ounce glass of wine or one beer – in an emergency situation reaction times can be slowed.

When you reach a BAC level of 0.050 you can experience exaggerated behavior, loss of small muscle control, an inability to focus your eyes quickly, impaired judgment, and a release of inhibitions. This can reduce your coordination behind the wheel, reducing your ability to safely operate a vehicle. This is especially true in a high risk or emergency situation.

Cat Boarding

Cats love staying at Hillrose Pet Resort

At Hillrose Pet Resort, we provide the ultimate experience for your cat. From private enclosures to family suites, your cats will love their stay at Hillrose. Learn more about our cat boarding facilities below and then call or book your reservation online.

Cat Boarding Facility in SeaTac, WA

Features of our Cat Boarding Services

We offer three options for boarding cats and cat sitting in Seattle Washington – sixteen standard private enclosures, three cat suites and four executive suites where cats and dogs from the same family can stay together.

  • The cattery is separate from the dog kennel area so that those cats that are not used to the barking of dogs can enjoy the most peaceful environment.
  • Each of our sixteen standard enclosures are three foot by three foot. Most have windows where neighboring squirrels and rabbits make their way by to entertain our cat visitors.
  • Each cat enclosure has a decorated wooden “doll” bed with blanket. Cats who like to sleep comfortably can sleep on top the bed while cats who like to hide under things can hide under the bed.
  • Some cat enclosures have connecting doors so that when a family registers more than one cat with us, the door can be opened to create a double room.
  • Three cat suites include a tall scratching post/climbing tower with house on top.
  • Each cat enclosure has a private kitty litter area and the cattery has its own private ventilation system with an exhaust fan that pulls odors away from each litter pan and vents them outdoors above the roof of the building.
  • The cattery is nearly sound proof and while airplanes fly by on a minute by minute basis, the cats do not hear them. A radio is also playing in the cattery.
  • For entertainment the cats can watch the small fish in the large aquarium in the center of the cattery or (because cats love to watch people) the visitors and staff who are visible through windows that look into the lobby.

Sorry, this product cannot be shipped internationally.

Additional Information

In the HP Series, an additional 60 grams is placed in the grip end of the club to counter the heavier putter head. Counter-balance technology increases the club's moment of inertia (MOI) for stability throughout the stroke.

There are two distinct head designs in the HP series putters: a traditional anser-style design and an oversized mallet style. Each head features an easy-alignment design that makes setting up accurately easier than ever before.

HP Series counter-balanced putters are available in two lengths - 36" and 38" to allow the additional 60 grams of weight to be positioned above the hands of the golfer.

Phillies erupt for 14 runs in season opener win over Rangers

By PATRICK GORDON | Managing Editor
March 31, 2014, 4:00 p.m.
Maybe Jimmy Rollins was on to something earlier this month when he said spring statistics shouldn't be taken too seriously.

The Phillies, who finished spring training with the worst offense in the majors, erupted for 17 hits and batted around twice to trump the Rangers on Monday afternoon at Global Life Park in Arlington, 14-10.

Rollins highlighted a six run second inning with a grand slam off Rangers starter Tanner Scheppers. The home run was the 200th of Rollins' career, making him just the 19th player in major league history to record 400 doubles, 100 triples and 200 homers.

The Rangers answered back, tagging Cliff Lee for seven unanswered runs before the Phillies tied the contest in the fourth and took the lead for good in the fifth on a two run RBI double to center from John Mayberry Jr.

Ben Revere finished with three hits for the Phillies and collected three RBIs. Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche each homered in the winning effort.

Cliff Lee surrendered a career high eight runs on 11 hits over five innings.

"Cliff was working a bit too much down the middle of the plate and he was elevated in the zone," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "The offense picked him up and he battled through the five innings to get the win."

Scheppers, making his first career start, allowed seven runs on eight hits. Alex Rios and Josh Wilson each collected three RBIs for the Rangers in the loss.

Bring Cole Back

If the Phillies are at all serious about winning this season, they better get serious with the rotation. Right now, it's semi-good and semi-bad and way too right-handed.

Take a look.
Jake Arrieta, 3-0, 1.82, right-handed
Aaron Nola, 3-1, 2.58, right-hander
Nick Pivetta, 1-0, 2.57, right-hander

So far, so good. Not just good but good-good.

But then it goes downhill, fast
Vince Velasquez, 1-3, 4.50, right-handed
Ben Lively, 0-2, 6.85, right-handed, on the DL
Jake Thompson, 0-0, right-handed, just brought up to replace Lively
Jerald Eickhoff, on the DL, right-handed
Zach Eflin, right-handed, 0-0

What is it the Phillies don't see here that you and I do? Where are the left-handers? Granted, if an all right-handed rotation is pitching the lights out, who's complaining? But the Phillies rotation is far from lights out. It needs a left-hander.

It needs Cole Hamels.

It's not that Mr. Hamels is setting the world on fire this season in Texas. He's 1-4, 4.41, in the six games. But he hasn't pitched badly. Typical of Hamels — like a shadow that follows him — he's had little run support.

The 34-year-old Hamels is in the final year of a six-year contract at $22.5 million, with a club buyout option of $6 million next season. Compare that to Jake Arrieta's contract: First-year of a three-year $75 million deal; $30 million this season, $25 million next, and $20 million in 2020. All these millions are getting me tired. I think I need a nap.

Lookit. If the Phillies organization is so big on analytics, why have a completely right-handed rotation? Doesn't that go against the grain of analytics? You think there are line-ups around the league that don't do well against left-handers? Duh! So if we're so big on analytics, make the rotation analytical, too. It's not rocket science.

The Phillies could certainly afford Mr. Hamels, a homegrown, hometown favorite, and MVP of the 2008 World Series. Texas is not going anywhere this season and might want to unload Mr. Hamels' salary for a couple of low-level prospects. The Rangers are 10-17 and mired in last place in the American League West.

But here's the thing. Mr. Hamels has a limited no-trade clause with the Rangers, which means there may be a list of teams Texas can't trade Mr. Hamels too.

And here's another thing. Texas would be better off holding Mr. Hamels until the trade deadline, figuring a number of teams will be in the division and wild-card races. The Yankees, for example, might give more than low-level prospects to acquire Mr. Hamels in mid-July.

But this is what they pay GM's for — to sweeten the pot. Go get Hamels now, Mr. Klentak.

Velasquez, Thompson, Eickhoff, and Eflin

Santucci's Original Square Pizza headed to Jersey Shore

Philadelphia mainstay purchases license in Ventnor

Restaurants Pizza
Santuccis Pizza Source/Facebook

Santucci's Original Square Pizza was founded in Philadelphia in 1959. There now three locations in the city and fourth heading to Ventnor at the Jersey Shore.

A long-time Philadelphia staple has its sights set on the Jersey Shore.

Santucci's Original Square Pizza, which has locations in the Italian Market, Roxborough and North Philadelphia, will reportedly open up its first New Jersey location in Ventnor, according to Shore News Today.

Owner Blake Barabuscio's liquor license bid was approved and will allow him to convert the Arrow hardware store on Ventnor Avenue.

Only the North Broad Street location in Philadelphia is a full-service bar carrying beer and liquor. The other locations are strictly restaurants.

An employee at the Italian Market location told PhillyVoice she does't yet know whether the Ventnor location will include a bar or be set up as a BYOB. Barabuscio purchased one of the city's three liquor licenses enabling the restaurant to serve alcohol.

Santucci's Original Square Pizza was founded in 1959 by Joseph and Philomela Santucci, establishing the first location on "O" Street in Juniata Park. The restaurant is best known for its variety of signature square pies, pasta and entrees, sandwiches and brunch.

The Santucci's in Ventnor is expected to open in summer 2019.

Xradia 810 Ultra X-ray Microscope

Photonics Spectra
Dec 2013
Carl Zeiss Spectroscopy GmbHRequest Info
The Xradia 810 Ultra x-ray microscope from Zeiss increases throughput for 3-D imaging at the nanoscale by up to 10 times, achieving better contrast and faster acquisition for scientific and industrial applications.

Operating at 5.4 keV, the device provides low x-ray energy for enhanced imaging of many materials. In oil and gas feasibility studies, it can quickly measure rock characteristics such as porosity and tortuosity when imaging carbonate rock and shale.

The microscope can also be used in 4-D and in situ studies where internal structure is imaged repeatedly over time and under varying conditions. As compared to serial sectioning methods, this nondestructive approach is faster for similar volumes and can achieve resolution down to 50 nm.

The device combines high absorption, Zernike phase contrast and advanced optics adapted from the synchrotron for a variety of biomaterials such as polymers and tissue samples.

Exercise as much as you want

Taking care of your health is now more important than ever. It’s not necessarily all about the shape of your body but how it feels on the inside. Being fit helps to combat common illnesses and gives you strength for everyday challenges. If you want to change your life for the better and want to know where to start, get Guavapass, your card for fitness centres in Singapore.

Get your GuavaPass today

Picodi believes in healthy body and soul and makes it easier than ever for you to attend classes for less. If you subscribe, you will soon notice how much money you can save on a daily basis with your shopping. Available every day at any time, it will make your life much more affordable and better.

There are various reasons for which people sign up for fitness classes. Some want to lose weight and dieting is simply not enough. Others, on the contrary, wish they would healthily put on some weight and want to exercise in the right way. There are also people who like to spend time in gyms because it relaxes them. It doesn’t matter to which group you belong, Guavapass can give you access to studios and centres all across Singapore. This way you can exercise better, cheaper and more often.

Get your GuavaPass today

When you visit the Guavapass’ website, you can go about it in a variety of ways. If you don’t have your card just yet, explore it in details and then make an informed decision. Start with a Class Schedule. It will give you an overview of what types of classes are offered and whether any of them are right for you. You will also see what time they are scheduled for which will help you plan your week of exercise.

At this point, once you’re enticed into signing up, you can ask about the cost. Go to Plans and Pricing tab to see how affordable the pass is and what is offered. Sign up with Facebook or enter your email address to see which plan is best for you and where you wish to attend. Take an example from thousands of people across Asia who have already registered for their card and have started changing their life for the better and happier.

The best choice of classes

What’s on offer then? How do you know if Guavapass can give you exactly what you’re looking for? What’s important is to take the first step because it doesn’t matter for your body how you exercise; what matters is whether you’re doing it or not. So if you don’t like traditional aerobics classes, take dance which will get you sweating just as much but in a fun way. You will also learn new steps which will make you the king or the queen of the dancefloor! Like a little competition? Find your nearest boxing studio in Singapore which will make you stronger and healthier at the same time. And if you prefer to unwind and calm down your body, make sure your back is healthy, take pilates and yoga.

Dance classes for you

Guavapass’ website will also show you where your nearest studio is. It works with the best gyms and fitness centres on the island to help you decide to sign up. Once you get your card, you’re not restricted regarding the number or the location of classes. It means that you can exercise in the morning on one day and go to a different studio after work on another. So flexible and easy!

Marquee Hire: Make the most of your event

December 9, 2013

Hiring a marquee is one of the wisest ways to get the most of the weather and the scenery at your event. Learn all about how to match the perfect marquee to your style and day below.

Planning an outdoor event in Sydney can be difficult but, when done properly, has impressive results. On top of the regular things to consider – timing, invitations, catering and more – there’s one black cloud that looms over outdoor events: the weather. Even the sunniest of summers can produce thunderstorms or a forecasted ‘light shower’ could turn into a hailstorm. What I’m trying to say is that Mother Nature is a moody mistress, and you have to be ready to tackle whatever she throws at you. Hiring a marquee is one of the simplest ways to battle the forces of nature and come out on top – here are our tips for getting the most out of these simple structures.

Get the right marquee for your event

Is the event a lunchtime function, a corporate product launch or for a wedding? You will need to take this into consideration when deciding on a marquee.  You may want a customised marquee, which is not always a possibility with all event hiring services. Pillingers offer a completely customisable marquee, from sizing to colour to printing your company logo on the marquee so it’s easily recognisable.

Get the right marquee for comfort

Pillingers Hiring Service offers a complete set up and pull down service, meaning that you won’t have to lift a finger when it comes to the event preparation and pack up. This leaves you time to focus on other aspects of the event and enjoy what’s going on around you!

Get the right marquee for the weather

Yep, that thing we mentioned first of all – the weather. There are several types of marquees that will be able to guard you from the elements. If it’s a windy day, choose a walled marquee. If it’s the sun you’re trying to keep out, ensure that you install an opaque marquee as opposed to a transparent one.

Get the right furniture to match your chosen marquee

Hiring a marquee is just the first step – but you can’t have an empty “room” within it! For most events, you’ll need to at least consider tables, seating and food and drink catering. Other events will have to think about hiring a dancefloor and DJ to help fill it! If you go with a good marquee company, chances are they’ll be able to help you with these additional requests.

These are just the starting points to think about when you’re in the planning stages for your event, but there may be other things that come into the mix that you haven’t even thought of yet. For any questions and queries, call Pillingers today for an obligation-free quote on (02) 8783 0994

In case you missed it, here’s a few of our insider tips for top venues for outdoor weddings.

Overall Guide : Considering the historical past Beijing could give the impression to be an ancient city but living there you realize that it has much in common with all the other metropolis in the world; it is now a modern,... more fashionable and full of vitality city with skyscrapers, shopping centre but unfortunately also a lot of traffic. Also the cultural aspect of Beijing is close to ours, you find more and more entertainments from traditional performances as the Beijing opera to modern dances, concerts, pubs and clubs. Another sign of actuality and modernity is that Beijing has been selected as the city to host the Olympic Games in 2008. The climate in Beijing is continental and the annual average temperature is about 11,8°C. There is a long and cold winter, the temperature in January is about -4,8°C, the summer is long as well but hot, temperature reaches about 25,8°C. Spring and autumn are rather short and dry.

Overall Guide : I think we have a rough driving here in beijing and we don't give chance to our friends when it comes to giving one chance to pass through, it is important. And taxi drivers don't cover his or her mouths... more when it comes to coughing. And one last thing, we need to stop picking and choosing when it comes to passengers. Thanks ever so much.

Overall Guide : I LOVE Beijing and the people of China!!! We lived there for 1 year. You need to blend in with the people, forget that you want things your way, live with them and NOT in the District for foreigners. Eat... more what they eat and don't order boxes of food from your own country. Be humble at all times and have a thankful heart :)

Overall Guide : It's a pretty good place to live if you don't mind the pollution. If you are a foreigner it is a little hard to live here but the food, culture and people make up for it. Basically a good place... more to work but not the best place to retire. Also getting a working visa can be a major pain.

We wandered around in the evening either on foot or by taxi, it was... more very calm. You are treated in a very polite way in the hotels. It's a beautiful city.

Container Plants & Trees Planting Instructions:

Keeping Plant in the Pot

• You don’t have to plant your container plant right away. As long as you water it sufficiently, and provide it with adequate sun exposure, you can leave it right in the pot. If you begin noticing signs that your plant is root bound, simply pot it up into a larger container, or plant it in the ground.

• Potted plants that are left sitting on concrete porches will need to be watered more frequently. Concrete soaks up heat, so your plants will need more water than you might think. Water plants in these conditions every day. If it’s hotter than usual, it may even need to be watered twice in a day.

• If given adequate water and sunshine, your potted plant can reach it’s full growth potential within two months of planting.

How to Plant Container Trees:

  1. Prep the hole. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and slightly shallower than the root ball. This technique puts the aerated backfill soil where the new roots will grow and leaves a base of naturally firm soil for the root ball to rest on, which won't settle when watered.

    PRO TIP: Avoid the clay-pot syndrome. Roughen the sides and bottom of your planting hole with a pick or shovel so that root tips can penetrate the native soil. Smooth walls are like cement to root tips.

  2. Remove Container. Be gentle but firm when removing the container, making sure to protect the foliage, lay the tree on its side with the container end near the planting hole. Hit the bottom and sides of the container until the root ball is loosened. If the container is metal, use cutters to snip it from top to bottom.

    PRO TIP: Check the root ball for circling roots. If circling roots are left in place, they will continue to enlarge in that pattern after the tree has been planted. Gently separate them, shorten exceptionally long roots, and guide them downward or outward. If roots are severely circled or kinked near the trunk, get another plant. Remember that the tiny root tips that absorb water and minerals for the tree die off quickly when exposed to light and air, so don't waste time.

  3. Fill the hole. Don't cover the root crown with soil! If soil is added above the crown, which is the place where the roots end and the trunk begins, it will lead to rot at the base of the trunk. Aim to have the top of the root ball about to 1/2 to 1 inch above the surrounding soil surface, making sure not to cover it with soil unless roots are exposed. Check the height of the root crown by laying a straight piece of wood across the top of the hole. Adjust the height by lifting the tree out of the hole (lift it by the root ball, not by the trunk) and adjusting the soil level in the planting hole.

  4. Orient the tree. If the tree has a preferred side, turn it toward a prominent viewpoint (such as your kitchen window). If it's lopsided, turn the side with more foliage toward the prevailing wind. This will encourage the other side to catch up. In sunny, arid climates, orient the tree so that the best-shaded side of the trunk faces southwest. Sunburn can kill the cambium, weakening the tree and disfiguring the trunk and bark. When turning the tree, lift it from the base of the root ball, not from the base of the trunk.

  5. Sight it upright. Once the tree is in the hole, stand back and make sure it's standing upright. Tilt the root ball until the tree is straight, then backfill firmly under and around the root ball.

    PRO TIP: Tamp the soil as you backfill. Using the heel of your foot, press down firmly to collapse any large air pockets in the soil. This will help stabilize the tree in the hole. Don't wait until the planting is finished; press down every few shovels of soil. Yes, you can tamp too much; excessive pressure (especially in clay soils) will reduce the soil porosity, which is essential for healthy root growth. As usual with trees (and most living things), practice moderation.

  6. Give your soil a boost. Though the latest trend in tree planting is not to add amendment to the backfill soil, there are instances when it can be useful. If your native soil is hard to work with (heavy clay) or retains little moisture (very sandy), you can treat it to some organic amendment. The amendment won't be a permanent solution to soil deficiencies, but it will help retain water and air in the soil around the root ball for the first few vital years. If adding soil amendment, always mix it with soil from the planting site; about one part amendment to three parts native soil is a good proportion for backfill soil.

  7. Get it wet. Build a temporary watering basin around the root hall to encourage water penetration. A tree that has a dry root ball can stand in a moist backfill without absorbing water! Water thoroughly after planting.

  8. Stake well. Remove the square wooden nursery stake after planting. Stake the tree loosely for protection or support if needed. If the stem can't stand up on its own, stake it so that it stands upright. Plan to remove stakes as soon as the tree can support itself, in six to twelve months.

  9. Mulch till you drop. Cover the entire planting area, except a small circle at the base of the trunk, to a depth of 2 to 4 inches with bark, wood chips, old sawdust, pine needles, leaves, or gravel. Mulch keeps the topsoil temperate for root growth, reduces surface evaporation of water, provides nutrients to feed the tree, and slows weed and grass growth around the tree's base.

American Cinema of the 1960s: Themes and Variations (BOK)

359,00 35900
Sendes vanligvis innen 7-15 dager
The profound cultural and political changes of the 1960s brought the United States closer to social revolution than at any other time in the twentieth century. The country fragmented as various challenges to state power were met with increasing and violent resistance. The Cold War heated up and the Vietnam War divided Americans. Civil rights, women's liberation, and gay rights further emerged as significant social issues. Free love was celebrated even as the decade was marked by assassinations, mass murders, and social unrest.At the same time, American cinema underwent radical change as well. The studio system crumbled, and the Production Code was replaced by a new ratings system. Among the challenges faced by the film industry was the dawning shift in theatrical exhibition from urban centers to surburban multiplexes, an increase in runaway productions, the rise of independent producers, and competition from both television and foreign art films. Hollywood movies became more cynical, violent, and sexually explicit, reflecting the changing values of the time.In ten original essays, "American Cinema of the 1960s" examines a range of films that characterized the decade, including Hollywood movies, documentaries, and independent and experimental films. Among the films discussed are "Elmer Gantry", "The Apartment", "West Side Story", "The Manchurian Candidate", "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Cape Fear", "Bonnie and Clyde", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Midnight Cowbody", and "Easy Rider".

• Shaping the social inclusion framework for the NRL

    14m 22s

    Ellen Beale from the NRL talks about their inclusion framework

    Download video

Thank you, so yes Ellen Beale. I have the great fortune of leading the Community Team at the National Rugby League. I have to apologise. My voice is still a little bit croaky after the last month. We had an amazing finals series. We had lots of underdogs making the finals and Paul, this is for you - the mighty Cronulla Sharks completed the fairytale winning their first ever premiership since joining the competition 50 years ago so it was an amazing game and very exciting.

Lots of people say to me, “So it must be awesome having got through the Grand Final. Are you going to have a couple of months now just resting and planning?” No, working in the Community Team it just doesn’t stop. In fact tomorrow is our ninth Annual Harmony Cup so we’ll have 46 teams, 600 females and males representing 13 cultural groups coming to Western Sydney tomorrow to compete to win the Harmony Cup so my team is extremely busy at the moment and this is one of my favourite events. I actually had to host a Dinner the other day and I had to welcome the participants and you’ll like to hear this Peter, I shared with them when I was 12 I made my first ever Under 12s representative netball team in the Inner West of Sydney. I was the only Anglo-Saxon girl on the team. There was a Greek girl, there was a Lebanese girl and the rest were of Maori origin. What I remember from that year - I don’t remember if we won or lost a tournament. I don’t know how good we were but the girls taught me how to do the Haka and I’ve got still some really good friends from that group and that’s what I shared with all of the participants at that event that you’ll remember the people that you meet, the pride that you have in the actions that you take. You’re not going to remember whether you won or lost so hopefully that’s what we’ll see tomorrow.

Harmony Cup represents just one of the things we do in this space. We’ve got our All Stars game; we’ve got our Pacific Test. These are great ways that we bring communities together and celebrate the rich culture that exists in Rugby League and we truly do believe that our sport is one for everybody and there are opportunities both on and off the field. That’s reflective in our communities and I’m going to share a little bit about our journey in this space and I thought I would start by introducing you to one of the most important men in Rugby League, Jimmy Stavrianos. If you’re on Twitter if you follow Rugby League at all you will know Jimmy Stavrianos. I told him I was going to be sharing his story and he thanked me and he thanked you for listening. He’s an amazing man. He’s more important that John Grant or Todd Greenberg or Cameron Smith and Ruan Sims, our National Captains. He’s the guy that you will meet if you come to Rugby League Central and he’s the first face you will see and we are going to share his story.

I thought I would provide some context in terms of our vision, purpose and values and I’d share the journey that we’ve been on and it truly is a journey. We’re really proud of a lot of the stuff that we do but we also know we’ve got a long way to go so Jimmy celebrated 25 years with the NRL this year so 25 years he’s been involved in the game. We had a celebration at the Sydney Cricket Ground where we showed this video which I will share with you via Paul on the big screens and we had every single person that’s interacted with Jimmy over the last 25 years sharing a snippet of information about Jimmy. He is just the most amazing man you will meet. The smile that is on his face at all times - last year he had what he calls the most positive experience of his lifetime. The NSW Origin Team invited him to come and work as part of their Training Team and he was asked to turn up at 7am to ensure that all of the equipment was out and Jimmy turned up at 6am every day to ensure that he was an hour ready and the smile on his face and the change that that created in our building was just phenomenal.

We through Origin period you can imagine are just stretched beyond stretched. Everybody is a little bit cranky and Jimmy’s face just made everything feel good and it reminded us about why we do what we do so I encourage you to have a look at Jimmy’s story because it brings tears to my eyes every time and we actually have Rebecca Wilson who passed away in that story sharing all of her really happy memories of Jimmy too so it’s a nice one to watch at this time.

So Jimmy just represents one person in Rugby League. There are so many great people. I often have to pinch myself when I think about the fact that I get to work in sport and I get to work in Rugby League every day. If you talk to the many volunteers, the people that work in football, the players about why they do what they do they often will reflect on the really positive experiences they themselves have had.

When I reflect on my first rep team at 12, when I reflect on all the wonderful people that I’ve met, all of the things that I’ve learned about myself both good and bad; I’m ultra competitive and don’t really handle losing very well but I’ve learnt a little bit about how to do that and the great confidences that I’ve gained, I can’t believe my luck in being able to contribute to other people having similar experiences and that’s I think what keeps us honest and what keeps us motivated and keeps us really focused on ensuring that our game is one that welcomes everybody irrespective of your background.

If you have a quick look at the screen here so across the whole of the game we’ve got people who basically say that their country of birth or that of their parents or grandparents come from 140 different countries. It’s pretty phenomenal so our game has a long proud history. We started back in 1908 but we’ve got appeal to first generation, second generation and newly arrived migrants and that’s something that we pride ourselves on and we really focus on.

At the elite level of our game we’ve got 27% of our playing group - so 27% of our elite playing group are from Pacifica backgrounds and that’s up from 9% back in 1998 so we’ve made a really concerted effort in terms of our Pacifica neighbours and we can see that they’re coming and joining our game and they’re actually rising through the ranks which is exciting to see. We’ve also got 12% of our elite playing group identifying as Indigenous and when you look at our National Team that actually increases to 39% of our Kangaroos and our Jillaroos are of Indigenous background so that is incredible in terms of our ability to talk to that community and to show that we really do support and encourage people from those backgrounds and those players without us having to ask for them to get involved in things will just volunteer their time and energy to appear in advertisements, to come along and talk at various events so embracing those people and encouraging and empowering them is so important to us.

In fact Rugby League was the first National sporting team to appoint an Indigenous Captain so Arthur Beetson was the first Indigenous Captain of a sporting team back in 1973 and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of and we still celebrate today.

In terms of people who work within our sport we do regular reviews of people’s cultural ancestry and we’ve got within our NRL and the State Leagues we’ve got people who have ancestry in 34 countries so quite often people will say to me, “Oh it must be pretty tough being a female working in Rugby League. It’s all blokes isn’t it - a boy’s club?” You would be really surprised. Again if you came to Rugby League Central you would look around and you would see great diversity in terms of the people you meet particularly there’s a lot of - it’s almost 50% females so that’s really great when you come in for an interview that you’re actually meeting a really diverse group of people. It’s not just bulky big footballers. There’s lots of us who love the game and want to contribute.

Our female participation is something we’ve been really focused on in the last couple of years and we’ve seen huge growth in female participation. You can see here on the board it’s gone up 27% in 2016 and that’s seen year on year growth for the last few years. That’s something that we’re really focused on. An example of something we’ve done this year historically the Jillaroos would play before the Kangaroos so our National female team would play before the male counterparts and we would call them curtain-raisers. This year they’re double headers and they will continue to be double headers and I can tell you if you were in Newcastle for that match the female game was a much better game and got a lot bigger response and people still like seeing the girls hitting each other very very hard - I’m not quite ready to volunteer for that but I might give it a go and also there’s lots of really good insights into our fans and members but I just thought this was really interesting in terms of the age groups.

I had before I started working in Rugby League assumed that it was all 20‑40‑year-olds that would be interested in our sport but it’s actually quite evenly spread across all age groups so it’s a game that really does appeal to lots of different people.

How and why we’ve achieved this? It’s something that we have actively tried to ensure that we are welcoming to all so we know why we do what we do. This is our game plan. We’ve got a really clear vision to be the most entertaining, engaging and most respected sport in our mission to bring people together and enrich their lives. We’ve also got the four values of excellence, inclusive, courage and teamwork and the reality is without diversity and inclusiveness, without creating a game that welcomes everybody, without creating equal opportunities for people there is no way that we’re going to achieve any of this vision and mission so I think at the heart of it community is absolutely critical and we are encouraged to ensure that whenever we’re making decisions that we keep all of these top of mind.

So within the Community Team we feel there is huge opportunity but we also feel huge responsibility to do the right thing and to make a difference so our mission is to lead and inspire people to be the best they can be by providing pathways and opportunities to live positive, respectful and healthy lives. Put really simply, when people ask me at a barbecue, “What do you do?” I say, “I have the really great pleasure of using the NRL and Rugby League to talk to people about the importance of good health, whether that’s mental or physical health, about getting a good education and having aspirations and being respectful and of being inclusive”. It sounds pretty simple - a little bit harder to do in practice because of so many great things that we want to do so I thought I might share with you what keeps us motivated. If we get it right we believe we’re going to have communities that feel together, strong and proud. They’re the three actions that really keep us honest.

We’re really proud of what we’ve achieved to date. We know we’ve got some more to do but we’ve got some incredible initiatives in place. We’ve got our All Stars, we’ve got Harmony Cup, we’ve got the Pacific Test. We do cultural competence trainings with our staff and with the clubs. We’ve got an ‘In league and harmony program’ that’s been running with newly arrived migrants for the last five years. We’ve got policies and protocols and guidelines in place. We’ve got amazing partnerships with the Human Rights Commission, with Pride and Diversity, with ‘Our Watch’ with Reconciliation Australia but we know that not all of our policies and protocols and guidelines are well understood and always consistently applied. We know that there’s more work that we could be doing and I put the puzzle pieces up here because it feels like we’ve got all of these great things but we haven’t quite connected them to form a true picture of what we want to do and who we want to be so we engaged the Human Rights Commission late last year and they’ve developed a report for us and a number of recommendations on how we could go from good to best and we presented to the Executive a couple of weeks ago and it was quite funny. We were sort of expecting that they would be asking us lots of questions but the reality was they just went, ‘Yeah, this is great. So what do you need us to do?” so that was the best possible way to start this project.

We’ve got a really clear vision now. I’m sure you guys can’t see that up the back but for us it’s about really clearly defining who we are and what we want to do and what does diversity inclusiveness mean in our sport and getting everybody across whole of game to be able to sing from the same songbook. It’s about having a framework which is a relatively fancy way of saying a checklist. Whenever we want to do something we will say, “Does it do this? Does it meet those requirements? Will it be appealing to every element of our communities? We’ll have reviewed all of our programs, initiatives and policies and make sure that they meet the requirements of that checklist and we will ensure that we’ve got really strong partnerships for the future going forward and they’re financially stable and sustainable and that we are measuring and evaluating them all of the time.

Really quickly some lessons learnt - don’t try to be all things at all times. That would be my key thing. I know that’s really hard because there are so many good things that we could be doing. I think prioritise, prioritise, prioritise. I can’t tell you the number of calls that I take daily from organisations wanting to work with us and I would love to be able to say yes to all but what we’ve learnt through experience is when we do that we don’t get the depth of impact that we need to achieve and so just know that we will be doing it. We just need to make sure we do it in the right sequence and that we meet the needs of our communities and we listen to our communities because when we listen we get it right and we make a significant difference.

Thank you.

Take a look at what local non-profit leaders are saying about the Preferred Loyalty fundraising program.

  • "The Beaver Pride Card has been an unbelievable fundraising addition to Bemidji State Athletics. The best part about the program is it never ends and requires no selling or change in behavior other than presenting the Beaver Pride card when visiting local stores and restaurants our cardholders would do anyway.  This program is so much better than a plain vanilla discount card because it constantly brings in fundraising donations. Great job PLS!”

This fund raising model is cutting edge and truly a "winner" for not only our non-profit organization but also the businesses and cardholders alike."

    Thanks for all that you do!!!

  • "Our partnership with Preferred Loyalty Solutions has completely shattered our expectations.  We’re averaging almost $1,000.00 a month in residual donations which makes a huge difference for our booster club.  We love it and would recommend PLS to any athletic director across the country.”
