BERLIN — "Slaughterhouse," "About the Clouds," "Candela" and "Deeper" are four of the twenty projects chosen to participate at the upcoming 1st Málaga Festival Fund & Co-production (MAFF) event as announced at the Berlin Film Festival at an Ibero-American event which also included a round table.
The event, traditionally held at Berlinale, was backed by the Instituto Cervantes, the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut Berlin, the Conference of Ibero-American Cinematographic Authorities (CACI) and the Ibermedia Program.
The MAFF and works-in-progress sections are two of the new industry events to be hosted by the Festival Industry Zone (MAFIZ) at the Málaga Film Festival, a leading showcase for Spanish cinema. MAFIZ run April 13-22.
The 21st Málaga Film Festival runs April 13-22. With an aim of strengthening bridges within the Ibero-America, in addition to these inaugural industry activities, Brazil will be Malaga's guest country at both the festival and industry forum.
An Argentine production from Magaya Films, dramatic thriller "Slaughterhouse" is the feature debut of Santiago Fillol, an assistant director and co-writer on Olivier Laxe's Critics' Week Grand Prize "Mimosas." It turns on a U.S. cinema director who reaches La Pampa to shoot the first revolt of laborers against the landowners. The project was also selected at the Mar del Plata Film Festival Lobolab, and will be pitched at the Guadalajara Film Festival Co-production Meet in March.
Produced by Argentina's Trivial Media, "About the Clouds" is the second directorial outing for María Aparicio, a 2016 best director winner at Bafici for "Streets." A hybrid documentary, "Clouds" traces the parallel stories of different characters in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.
Directed by one of this year's Berlinale Talents, Andrés Farías, "Candela" is from Kalidoscopic in the Dominican Republic. An assistant director on Nelson Carlo de Los Santos Arias' "Cocote", Farías portrays contemporary Santo Domingo with a singular documentary visual approach.
Virginia Urreiztieta's "Deeper" follows a 16-year girl living with her mother, a probable schizophrenic, who suffers from alleged demons, in the eyes of the people of a remote land in Venezuela's plains. It is produced by Venezuela's La Pandilla. Urreiztieta won a Special Jury mention at France's Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival for "Panorama."
First timer Giselle Elias Karam will present "Lebanese Blood" a criss-crossing cultural study of the Lebanese community in Mexico. Mexico's Tonala Lab (Camila José Donoso's "Casa Roshell") produces.
Other projects looking for partners at Málaga Festival Fund & Co-production include Carlos Melian Moreno's "The Silent Star" (Cuba's La Cronocasa), Glorimar Marrero Sánchez's "Fish Tank" (Puerto Rico's Canica) and Verónica Riedel's "Hen Cock" (Guatemala's Anver Films).
Submissions for the Málaga MAFF came to a total of 130. There were 140 applications for the works-in-progress.
Some of the selected Latin American projects for the Málaga Work in Progress section –running April 17-20 – are Eduardo Wannmacher's "After Being Ashes" (from Brazil's Pironauta), Enrique Pérez Him's "Days of Light," (Panama's Mente Pública), Carlos Ameglio's "Porn for Newbies," (Uruguay's Salado) and Fernando Frías' "I'm no Longer Here" (Mexico's Panorama).
Under the title, Ibero-American Cinema: Its International Distribution Beyond the Film Festival Circuit" the round table included producer Fernando Epstein at Uruguay's Mutante Cine; Antonio Saura, CEO of sales agency Latido Films; and Hans-Christian Boese, CEO at German distribution company Piffl Medien. Other panelists were Olimpia Pont Cháfer, head of sales at The Coproduction Office who also represented the CICAE International Confederation of Art Cinemas; and Sandro Fiorin, head of the FiGa Films sales company. The debate was moderated by producer Hernán Musaluppi, at Argentina's Rizoma Films.
The round table discussed issues such as the insufficient distribution of Ibero-American movies around the region, the paradox that Latin American producers has to go through European sales agency to launch their movies worldwide; and the saturation of simultaneous releases, which doesn't allow word-of-mouth to kick in, though it is very much needed when it comes to auteur films.
Other issues addressed was the impact of festival success and the need for national movie exhibition quotas.
The consolidation of digital platforms has meant the possibility of rapid sales. But movies can be lost lost in their huge catalogues. A theatrical release usually cares more for a movie.
In addition to the Ibero-American projects at the co-production market, the section will incorporate two projects selected by the Arab Cinema Center: Suha Arraf's "Chintian" (produced between Palestine, Malta, Sweden and Denmark) and Hanaa Alfassi's "In Between," (a Saudi Arabia-U.S. work).

« AnteriorContinuar »
I must now take a somewhat wider range of view; and entreat you to learn wisdom from myself, and others who have gone before you, concerning the important subject of the Choice of Companions. Society we all must have; and it is most natural for us to choose our friends from the circle in which we our selves move—that is, among persons of about the same age, circumstances, and pursuits with ourselves. But how to do this wisely, is a matter that will require many suggestions and cautions.
1. The first general thought I would suggest, is this—Aim to be worthy of a friend worth having. I might even word it thus-Earn your friend. Do not selfishly seek merely one who shall please you; but, by active, obliging, friendly offices, show yourself ready to give, to the full, as much as you take. Selfishness soon betrays itself in boyish friendships; and on this account they are often very short-lived. Being
usually made up of hasty promises and high expectations on both sides, they soon end in disappointments. Young persons who have tasted a little of this sort of experience (and most have) should bethink themselves of something more generous and disinterested. The inexperienced may, indeed, still meet with some disappointments, from their inability to fathom the motives of others as young as themselves. But do not grudge bountifulness in the acts and sacrifices of friendship. Abound in genuine friendliness ; " Owe no man any thing, but to love one another." View kindness as a debt, " still paying, still to pay."
2. Next, let me hint, Be not in too great haste to seek friends. They will be brought to you by Providence, if you are really friendly: and the best friendships are those which come in a natural way. But eager spirits overdo the thing at first, and then undo it in a short time. Valuable friendships are too serious a thing to be concerted at once: they grow by degrees.
3. At the same time, take this caution with regard to friendships, even those that are most sincerely formed — Let you and your friend not expect too much from each other. Intimacies, as they expand, give scope for our infirmities, as well as our best affections, to play. Those who have most to do with one another-who converse, discuss, study, walk, and unbend their minds in one another's company—will oftenest discover in what they differ. Beware that such differences do not occasion disagreements. Opinions will clash; tastes may be not quite alike; plans may be opposite; in the choice of fresh companions, we may not always suit the inclinations of former friends. Thus there will be much room for remembering the good old rule," Bear, and forbear." We must not be so absolute in our own opinions, as to require our acquaintances to be entirely of our own way of thinking: nor must we be so foolish as to expect it of them.
4. I trust that I need not guard you against making friends with an Idler. You might as well make friends with a pick-pocket. Both steal, unawares to the person robbed : only, the one pilfers a little money from your purse; the other steals away your invaluable time, spirits, and credit. Among the young there are, alas ! too many very busy in helping one another to do nothing. Parties of pleasure are generally made up for this purpose. Further, when matters come to such a pitch, as that Clubs are formed for amusement of various kinds, such combinations have this evil about them, that they inveigle young persons by a false spirit of honour: "You must go with your party-at whatever hour-at whatever sacrifice-to whatever length." On this topic you had the opportunity of knowing my mind fully, some weeks since, when we made a College visit together. I would abridge no reasonable, healthful, moderate pleasure: but when an insinuating friend invites to systematic and extended diversions, it is high time to stand off.
5. By all means avoid the company of those who are rude and loose, and inclined to immorality in their language or conduct. With regard to such persons, religious principle is the grand preservative: it makes even the young, bold. "Have no fellowship with them "_"ra. ther reprove them"—are precepts most binding on the conscience. The maxim, too, " Evil communications corrupt good manners," is one which carries conviction with it, the instant it is quoted. Should a former acquaintance, one formerly considered a good-hearted playmate, be tempted to follow evil courses, he will (unhappily for himself) shun his more steady early acquaintances: or if he do not shun them, they must, with much concern, shun him; unless, perhaps, some one of them has wisdom and influence sufficient, occasionally, to expostulate with him, or to reprove him with a silent look. If any thing is said, in your hearing, of a profane or indelicate nature, frown upon it; if possible, instantly withdraw from such infectious company. Wit can make no amends for the mischief produced by this kind of language. Especially shun those who can coin a jest out of Scripture; or freely, and unfeelingly, ridicule pious persons.
6. One class of friends I would caution you about: those, namely, who pass away their time in desultory religious conversation. There is, you know, in most situations, such a thing as gossip: there is political, and literary, and neighbourly gossip; perhaps, the last-named ought to have been called, unneighbourly, for

The kitchens are equipped with the latest appliances while the bathrooms are fitted out lavishly, making it easy for home buyers to simply move in and design the apartments as per their preferences.

The superstructure is also located close to a few golf clubs, in case an aficionado fancies a game.
Moreover, homeowners who enjoy socialising don't need to look further than the building's multipurpose room to host gatherings and celebrations.
Raju Shroff, director of Signature Developers, commented: "By developing a property of this nature, we aim to offer people an elevated quality of life. A lifestyle where their home gives the tranquil of a private villa, yet they enjoy all the perks of living in a dynamic city."
The five-star Taj Hotel extends from the ground floor to the 17th floor and will include at least four F&B outlets, that can be accessed by the residents. - TradeArabia News Service

When my mother, Nancy Ray, was a little girl, there were lilac bushes all around her house. Each house where my parents lived while I was growing up had at least one lilac bush! As mother aged, she developed macular degeneration which seriously affected her vision.
As the disease progressed, whenever she smelled lilacs she would say, "Oh, that hurts my heart!" and I was ready to rush her to a heart specialist. She clarified her meaning for me; it was the memory of the fragrance of those childhood lilacs she was referring to.
As reading became impossible for her, one of the last things she could see and enjoy was a beautiful sunset.
Mother had always read her Bible early each morning. As the "Vision thief" continued its relentless attack, she still sat each morning with her open Bible on her knees as she quoted the passages she had memorized through the years.
As my own macular degeneration creeps along, I'm understanding more about how the smell of lilacs – or roses – could "hurt my mother's heart." I also find that the beautiful sunsets are becoming more blessed to me.
I conclude with a quote from a Family Circus comic strip, 4/20/06
"How much would it cost to see a sunset, if God decided to charge for it?"

The revealed manifesto of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) is the most comprehensive document, showing the plan of governance, by any political party for the next term. The manifesto is a progressive one. The document covers almost all issues and subjects that the state needs to focus on.
In contrast to 11-points manifesto of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) and that of Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which is a document comprised mainly of promises, the manifesto of PML-N also gives space to party's past performance. The manifesto of the party is, in fact, a kind of audit report. People can either accept or reject the past performance of the party; however, credit goes to the party for being brave enough to talk about its performance in its last tenure. Except for PML-N, no other party has given considerable space to their performance in the provinces they ruled for five years.
However, there are some points in the party's manifesto that are too optimistic and far from reality considering the economy of the state. For instance, one of such points is raising the annual GDP growth rate to an average of 7%. Achieving such a high target is difficult if not impossible. Setting lofty goals is commendable, but at the same time, the party should have taken into consideration the overall economic situation of the country as well. Another promise that sounds a bit over ambitious is the creation of two million jobs in the market annually. Furthermore, the party manifesto boasts to eliminate poverty by 2030, however, according to the latest figures available with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), 29.5% of the country population live below poverty line. What exceptional plan the party has for the eradication of extreme poverty, we do not know anything about it.
Whereas the document released by PML-N is impressive in covering almost all issues of national concern, it is also true that the party while in power failed to effectively tackle the pressing problems of imparting quality education, bridging gender inequality, providing of clean water, reducing disparities to mention just a few.
One report that evaluates the last tenure of PML-N opines that the PML-N government didn't follow through on its promises that it made before the 2013 elections. While some areas were entirely neglected by the party, the sectors that caught the party's attention, like health and education, also failed in generating the desired results. Though the 2018 manifesto of PML-N successfully covers all grave issues that the country is facing, the real test will be if the party can deliver on all these subjects that have found a mention in the text of manifesto.

Broadcasters, such as Sky (pictured) and UKTV, now make it a mandatory requirement for TV and film production companies in their supply chain to demonstrate they are making progress on reducing their carbon footprint. The BBC does it internally and is expected to extend this to independent production companies soon. But broadcasting still lags behind other industries on sustainability. This week, Broadcast magazine, the TV and radio industry bible, put the spotlight on production and sustainability and highlighted The Planet Mark and Planet Mark-certified company The Hospital Club.
Commenting in Broadcast, Steve Malkin, ceo of Planet First, provider of The Planet Mark, suggested TV production companies should look to the construction industry as a benchmark and case study on how to improve their sustainability.
"The two industries have similar challenges to address," he is quoted as saying. "They are based on work that can take a long time to develop and then has to be completed within a certain 'production' timeframe, often on site/location, where they face similar issues around transport and energy.
"It's a similar process, but the difference is that there is no planning requirement for a TV production, whereas there is for a building. and that perhaps explains why the TV industry has dragged its feet."
In November The Hospital Club and Planet First will be hosting a 'Sustainability Week' to highlight issues affecting sustainability in the creative industries.

When focused on STEMM careers, students may not always think of psychology and its involvement with technology. However, Dr. John Flach, a former psychology professor with Wright State University, recently shared with students how he is using his passion with the local technology company, Mile Two, LLC.
Flach was joined by Mile Two's Chief Technology Officer and software developer Jorge Sánchez during the STEMM Idol Speaker Series presentation on Tuesday, September 25. Mile Two was founded on the motto of creating technology to serve people, not replace people.
"When you're designing technology, you're making it to work with people," Sánchez emphasized.
After his career at Wright State, Flach said he was intrigued by the opportunity to work with Mile Two because of their philosophy.
"Mile 2 recognizes that the human factor is an important thing," Flach said. "In my job, I make sure the technology is meeting the needs of the consumer."

10 Questions with Anne-Laure Etienne | An interview by Ameena Rojee for #PHOTOGRAPHY Magazine
We first met [and fell in love with] artist Anne-Laure Etienne AKA Unspoken Image in 2012. Today we revisit her to talk more in depth about her work, inspirations, future plans and a lil' bit of advice for the aspiring photographer!
Ameena Rojee: Hello! Please introduce yourself.
Anne-Laure Etienne: My name is Anne-Laure Etienne, I am 23 and living in Lyon, France. I work as a freelance photographer.
AR: What made you want to become an artist and how did you get into photography?
ALE: When I was a child, I used to collect all types of images and would make little books out of them. My uncle was a great photographer and he also had a video camera, he used to spend his time filming us when we were young. My mother had a camera too, so we made a lot of photo albums. I was already swimming in images of my childhood. Later in life, my brother gave me my first camera — I was 17. I have not stopped taking photographs since that day.
AR: Your work for the band 'Volcan' was featured back in issue 3; how did you come up with the concept?
ALE: Volcan's music is something between metal and doom, doom and metal. This kind of music sounds loud but slow, and particularly dark to me. The skull we used was the skull of a horse, it belonged to the drummer. They did not have a real identity, so we chose to use this skull, which we felt represented the ambience of their music.
Musicians need to be image conscious so it is vital to figure out what they want beforehand. I am often the one to research the concept, and sometimes they decide themselves which elements will be present, in this case, we worked together to come up with a concept. The shoots are always interesting as we constantly work to combine relevant props with certain environments, the musicians themselves and the atmosphere we try to create. I love to practice photography instinctively; improvisation opens the imagination.
AR: What inspires you?
ALE: Nature and urban spaces. The future and the past. The soul and body. Big horizons and enclosed spaces. Joy and sorrow. Painting and photography.
AR: Which of your own works is your favourite and why?
ALE: I am not able to choose one. I think that all my photographs are unconsciously related. I put my heart into every image I capture, and they all have the same value to me. Some images have been more difficult to realise, but the simple ones are just as important as the others.
AR: We especially like your series 'Dualism', can you tell us a bit more about it?
ALE: This work is about duality and contradiction. I try to find a relation and a gap between soul and reality, then finally find the rhythm between them. I think that both of these things are related. I explore boundaries between dream and reality, rationality and madness.
I want to get a visual explosion, where imagination is more important than reality. The effect of symmetry reminds me of the Rorschach tests.
AR: If you could shadow one artist for a day, who would it be and why?
ALE: Francesca Woodman, for her work, her talent, her story and her final breath.
AR: What are you working on next?
ALE: I will be exploring the magic of analogue photography. I need to discover roots of my passion and to produce with analogue what I can already produce digitally. This work takes longer to realize than digital photography and it asks more patience and time.
AR: Can you tell us something interesting about yourself?
ALE: I am a clothing collector. I probably have enough clothes (or disguises) to open a shop!
AR: The industry is becoming increasingly challenging to enter with the popularisation of photography, thanks to camera phones and other new technology. What advice can you give to the aspiring photographer?
ALE: You do not need to have the bigger and better camera to be a good photographer. You can take a great picture with your camera phone (yes it is true!). It has never been easier to access cameras and as a result, photography. In my mind, a good photographer is a photographer with a story to tell. All you need to do is practice again and again. I do not think that errors exist; on the contrary, they develop creativity.
AR: Thank you for answering our questions, Anne-Laure! We wish you the best of luck and will be keeping an eye out for your future work.

Why Amazon Will Never Buy FedEx
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Amazon.com (AMZN) should buy FedEx (FDX) because its stock is cheap. It's a provocative idea, and cross-industry mergers are interesting to think about.
Loop Capital analyst Anthony Chukumba made the case this past week, and we wrote about it in Barron's.
The reasoning used to justify such mergers can be difficult to refute. After all, you can't argue with certainty that a deal could never happen. Still, Barron's is comfortable saying an Amazon-FedEx tie-up is very, very unlikely.
There are two sets of issues that should scuttle this proposed deal: market issues and business issues. Let's tackle the former first.
Read more:Antitrust and How the American Dream Is Becoming a Sucker's Game
Chukumba covers tech stocks, and his Amazon price target is $2,200 a share. That is equal to 61 times Amazon's estimated 2019 earnings. It's no wonder he thinks FedEx is cheap at 10.7 times estimated earnings. Chukumba is used to analyzing and valuing high-multiple stocks with powerful secular trends—like online shopping—that support high growth rates. FedEx is a completely different, economically sensitive company.
This kind of confusion arises when growth investors wander off "Growth Island" and swim onto "Value Investing Island." The two groups aren't always accepting of outsiders. They try to communicate, but they speak very different valuation languages.
More in The Trader
Consider Tesla (TSLA). Baird analyst Ben Kallo rates Tesla shares Outperform, with a $465 target price. That's 50% higher than Tesla's current share price. Kallo doesn't cover cars, he covers energy and sustainable technologies like solar power and waste-grease recycling.
Most of the Sell ratings on Tesla shares actually come from traditional automotive analysts who struggle to justify Tesla's share price when General Motors (GM) trades for six times estimated 2019 earnings. Tesla shares trade for 57 times estimated 2019 earnings.
Of course, a pair of fresh eyes can help reframe an investment and uncover hidden value. But it's unlikely.
The business-related problems with the proposal are even more daunting.
Amazon, which is interested in getting products to customers in two days or less, doesn't really need FedEx's massive infrastructure—and e-commerce is only a small portion of FedEx's business. "FedEx's upstream sorting capability is fundamentally different than last-mile delivery capacity," explains Baird transportation analyst Ben Hartford.
There are other reasons a deal is unlikely, according to Cowen transportation analyst Helane Becker. FedEx competitor United Parcel Service (UPS) would try to stop the deal in court. And FedEx founder and CEO Fred Smith, the largest single FedEx shareholder, would have to agree to a deal—a dim possibility, she points out.
Finally, there are antitrust issues—and they have nothing to do with President Donald Trump lashing out against Amazon in the past via tweets.
Vertical mergers are facing more regulatory scrutiny. Those are deals when a company expands up or down its value chain. Horizontal deals, by contrast, are the ones when a company buys another in its industry. Horizontal mergers are the ones that have historically faced higher scrutiny because of fears that a company is amassing too much market power.
The Justice Department, for example, tried to stop American Airlines Group (AAL) from buying US Air, fearing that a more concentrated airline industry would mean higher prices for traveling consumers. That deal eventually went through.
In 2017, the Justice Department filed a complaint challenging AT&T's (T) proposed acquisition of Time Warner in November of that year, though the deal ultimately went through. Any vertical deal involving Amazon could generate even more scrutiny than the AT&T media deal.
What Amazon really wants is to supplement its logistic capabilities, like Walmart (WMT) did when the chain was growing rapidly. Walmart is one of the largest tractor-trailer operators in the U.S., but it never bought a public trucking company, and the trucking industry survived.
Amazon told Barron's it uses a variety of carriers but had no information about potential deals. UPS said it doesn't comment on speculation and FedEx wasn't immediately available for comment.
Even if a deal won't happen, it's still fun to think out of the box. And sometimes the mental gymnastics can yield a moneymaking idea.
Richard Parsons thought phone companies were an existential threat to cable over a decade ago. Now AT&T owns Time Warner. The convergence of entertainment delivery and content production is a fait accompli. Even Barron's thinks that Apple (AAPL) should buy Nintendo (7974. Japan) to gain access to gaming content that could reduce Apple's reliance on hardware sales.

22 matches for " soybean exports":
Today's September international trade report will be the third to be distorted by hugely elevated soybean exports. The surge began in July, when soybean exports jumped by $3.6B--that's a 220% month-to-month increase--to $5.2B.
Today is all about beans. Specifically, soybeans, and more specifically, just how many of them were exported in August. This really matters, because if soybean exports in August and September remained close to their hugely elevated July level, the surge in exports relative to the second quarter will contribute about one percentage point to headline GDP growth.
Surging soybean exports contributed 0.9 percentage points, gross, to third quarter GDP growth, though the BEA said that this was "mostly" offset by falling inventories of wholesale non-durable goods.
We have written a good deal recently about the likely impact of the sudden explosion of U.S. soybean exports on third quarter GDP growth.
Yesterday's relatively good news--we discuss the implications of the August trade data below--will be followed by rather more mixed reports today. We hope to see a partial rebound, at least, in the September Chicago PMI, but we fully expect soft August consumer spending data.
Data released this week in Brazil underscored the effect of weaker external conditions. This adds to the poor domestic demand picture, which has been hit by high, albeit easing, political uncertainty.
Brazil's key data flow started Q4 on a soft note, but we still believe that the economic recovery will gather strength over the next three-to-six months.
We were nervous ahead of the GDP numbers on Friday, wondering if our forecast of a 1.5 percentage point hit from foreign trade was too aggressive. In the event, though, the trade hit was a huge 1.7pp, so domestic demand rose at a 3.5% pace.
August's 14-year high in the ISM manufacturing index, reported yesterday, clearly is a noteworthy event from a numerology perspective, but we doubt it marks the start of a renewed upward trend.
The obvious answer to the question posed in our title is that it's far too early to tell what will happen to first quarter growth. More than half the quarter hasn't even happened yet, and data for January are still extremely patchy, with no official reports on retail sales, industrial production, housing, capex, inventories or international trade yet available. For what it's worth, the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model signals growth of 3.4%, though we note that it substantially overstated the first estimate of growth in the fourth quarter.
Over the past six months, payroll growth has averaged exactly 150K. Over the previous six months, the average increase was 230K. And in the six months to August 2015--a fairer comparison, because the fourth quarter numbers enjoy very favorable seasonals, flattering the data--payroll growth averaged 197K.
Brazil's external accounts were a relatively bright spot last year, once again.
In the wake of the ADP report released Wednesday, we moved up our payroll forecast to 150K from 100K, but we've now taken a closer look at the post-Florence path of jobless claims.
It seems pretty clear from press reports that the White House budget, which reportedly will be released March 14, will propose substantial increases in defense spending, deep cuts to discretionary non- defense spending, and no substantive changes to entitlement programs. None of this will come as a surprise.
Back on May 14, we argued--see here--that the stars were aligned to generate very strong second quarter GDP growth, perhaps even reaching 5%.
The federal debt ceiling was re-imposed last week, with no fanfare, and no reaction in the markets. All eyes were focussed instead on the Fed's rate hike and Chair Yellen's press conference.
Three of today's economic reports, all for December, could move the needle on fourth quarter GDP growth. Ahead of the data, we're looking for growth of 1.8%, a bit below the consensus, 2.2%, and significantly weaker than the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model, which projects 2.8%.
We expect to learn today that the economy expanded at a 1.7% rate in the fourth quarter. At least, that's our forecast, based on incomplete data, and revisions over time could easily push growth significantly away from this estimate. The inherent unreliability of the GDP numbers, which can be revised forever--literally--explains why the Fed puts so much more emphasis on the labor market data, which are volatile month-to-month but more trustworthy over longer periods and subject to much smaller revisions.
Today brings a ton of data, as well as an appearance by Fed Chair Powell at the Economic Club of New York, in which we assume he will address the current state of the economy and the Fed's approach to policy.
The headline durable goods orders number for October, due today, likely will be depressed by falling aircraft orders, both civilian and military. Boeing reported orders for 55 civilian aircraft in September, compared to only three in August, but a hefty adverse swing in the seasonal factor will translate that into a small seasonally adjusted decline.
Two entirely separate factors point to significant upside risk to the first estimate of third quarter GDP growth, due today. First, we think it likely that farm inventories will not fall far enough to offset the unprecedented surge in exports of soybeans, which will add some 0.9 percentage points to headline GDP growth.
We are struggling to make sense of the third quarter GDP numbers. The reality is that the massive surge in soybean exports--which we estimate contributed 0.9 percentage points, gross, to GDP growth--mostly came from falling inventory, because the soybean harvest mostly takes place in Q4.

Ten years ago, Miranda took his first stab at writing a musical. That project evolved to "/*In the Heights*/," a show that went on to win the /*Tony Award*/ in 2008 for best musical.
"'In the Heights' at its heart is a very traditional musical. It's about three days in the life of this block in upper Manhattan in Washington Heights. There is a black out, there is a mysterious lottery ticket, there is romance, there are laughs, there are tears," said Miranda. "We tried to reach for as much of the human experience as possible and fit it into these two and a half hours."
"In the Heights" has just made its Southern California debut at the /*Pantages Theatre*/, and the significance of that is not lost on the show's star and creator.
"I don't care how old you are, when you get to Los Angeles and you see that Hollywood sign on the hills your stomach kind of clutches up in your chest. And it's got such an amazing amount of diversity and there's so many exciting things to do all over that it's kind of overwhelming," said Miranda.
And that diversity that we see here in Los Angeles is reflected in the story of "In the Heights."
"I think the show really has universal appeal because it really is about being from somewhere else and figuring out how to fit in and how do you define home when you bridge all these different cultures," said Miranda.
"In the Heights" -- and the salsa, hip-hop and dreams that are part of it -- will be at the Pantages through July 25.

I want to make a circuit which performs these tasks:
1) Protect the load against reverse polarity.
2) Protect the load against over voltage.
Load = Raspberry pi
Reason for this circuit - Pi is not directly being powered through the USB jack. There will be a DC jack where the users are supposed to plug in a 5V 2A power supply with circular pin. Ultimately this will be given to the micro-USB jack. This is being done because Pi is inside a casing and it's not possible to expose the micro-USB port directly.
I have come up with this circuit:
How I think it works:
Mosfet will prevent turn ON in case of reverse polarity.
If polarity is correct, mosfet will turn ON. I have set up a voltage reference to output 5.6 VDC. A comparator will compare this to DCOUT. If DCOUT > 5.6 VDC, OPAMP will generate a HIGH turning the mosfet OFF.
Am I correct?
Possible concern - When OPAMP turns off the mosfet, the entire circuit will lose power and mosfet will turn ON again. I will get a oscillating voltage on DCOUT equal to 5.6 VDC. Am I right?
Should I put another mosfet downstream which will cut off in case of DCOUT > 5.6 VDC? If it's downstream, I can make sure that there is no oscillations. Example:
Is there a better alternative to all this?

LOVES PARK — With the kick of a few dozen inflatable soccer balls, Mercyhealth Sportscore Two is open for business.
Rather than a ribbon cutting, Rockford Park District leaders and local government officials opted for a ceremonial first kick on the new turf inside the 133,000-square-foot facility on Riverside Boulevard. The kick was the culmination of an eight-year initiative called Reclaiming First, which brought new sports facilities to the Rockford area in an effort to once again be known as the top destination for amateur sports.
"The key to all of the Reclaiming First facilities, both the downtown Sports Factory as well as with Mercyhealth Sportscore Two, has been the collaboration," said outgoing Park District Executive Director Tim Dimke. "For eight years, all the area cities, the county the state, have all really captured the vision and captured why we're doing this, not only for our youth and our local citizens, but also for the huge economic impact it's going to have on our entire region."
For Dimke, the project is the capstone of a 44-year career and part of his legacy as the Park District's leader. He retires June 23, and Jay Sandine takes over the Park District's top job on June 24. Much of today's ceremony included comments from local leaders thanking Dimke for his service.
"Because of people like Tim Dimke, and the rest of the gentlemen on this stage, there is a new paradigm in our community, that we are better together" said Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney. "And if that is true of sports tourism, it's true in economic development, in public safety and all forms of local government."
The Indoor Sports Center expansion accounted for $13 million of the total $30 million worth of improvements made to the Mercyhealth Sportscore Two campus during the past two years. The new indoor facility, large enough to house four Boeing 747s, holds one full-size soccer field that can be divided into a number of smaller fields and will be used for soccer, lacrosse, rugby, football, baseball and softball.
"Knowing that thousands and thousands of our local kids will be able to have facilities that are world class is really the most satisfying part of this whole thing," Dimke said.
And that world-class facility brought in world-class athletes for its opening day. U.S. women's soccer players and Olympic gold medalists Tisha Venturini-Hoch, Kristine Lilly and Mia Hamm hosted their Team First Soccer Academy at Mercyhealth Sportscore Two this afternoon, and took part in the parade of teams later in the evening as they helped kick off SuperCopa 2017. SuperCopa, one of the largest soccer tournaments in the nation, will be held at the Sportscore Two campus Thursday through Sunday.
"This community is very fortunate to have an amazing facility like this," Hamm said. "What was really great during the entire ceremony is on the other side were all these kids playing, kind of breaking it in for the athletes that have yet to come."

Spike Groups—The Only Slack Alternative
Looking for an internal email app that's better than Slack? Look no further!
Slack has got a big following in the world of internal email. As an alternative to conventional email, it ranks high on the usability index, providing a responsive solution designed for fast-paced working environments. However, like all things in life, it has its fair share of compromises when it comes to your workflow, and those compromises can impact productivity and frustrate your creativity on a daily basis.
There's a reason why Slack is so popular—its simplicity. It does one job, extremely well. The problem is, for dynamic teams who need to share information internally but who also need to connect to the wider world, Slack begins to show its limitations. As an internal communication app it's great, but as a productivity tool, not so much. It creates silos of information by forcing you to switch between different apps such as email, cloud drives, and calendars. It also compounds the "always-on" mentality by bombarding you with constant notifications—distracting you from the task at hand and slowly degrading your productivity levels.
Add to this the high prices for larger teams and limited functionality for the free version, and suddenly, Slack starts to look much less attractive. It's also missing handy features such as read receipts and a decent file manager. Here at Spike, we think we have a better way to manage your internal communication, and we're sure that our slack chat alternative will be a breath of fresh air when it comes to creative collaborations and team productivity.
Say Hello to Spike Groups—The Only Slack Alternative
Groups is designed to provide a quick and easy way to communicate with your team both in and out of the office using a single app. No more switching between apps to chat to colleagues and clients, no more downloading files from email to be shared across your internal channels! You can do it all with Spike—seamlessly and efficiently. It's just like using your favorite instant messaging app, with notifications and read receipts keeping the conversation going. Real-time messaging is key when it comes to dynamic group work, and Spike Groups lets you start a conversation on your laptop and finish it on your smartphone or tablet—a truly versatile chat app that goes wherever you go!
Setting up a Group takes just a few clicks. Simply open a new Group, give it a great name, and invite everyone who needs to be part of the conversation. Once your colleagues have accepted your invite, you're ready to get to work—pushing productivity to new heights with an internal email app that runs quietly in the background. Even if the people you want to chat with don't have Spike, you can still enjoy all the benefits of Groups. However, it works best when everyone is online with the app—boosting real-time awareness and streamlining communication as only Spike knows how!
Spike is a heavyweight alternative to Slack when it comes to team chat, and it's got exactly the kind of features you need to streamline all of your collaborations. But don't take our word it, check out how Spike compares with Slack in the table below:
Instant Messaging
Advanced Email Functionality
File Preview
Integrated Calendar
App Independent
Spike lets you create a workspace with anyone using email. You can also communicate with people outside your organization
All users must download and install Slack
Encrypted Email Messaging uses the AES256 protocol
EKM encryption
Asynchronous Communication
Other Features
Team collaboration is enhanced with Send Later and Unsend features
And there's more.
More Features. More Efficiency. Less Slack.
Groups offers teams some big advantages when compared to other internal email apps. You can forget those frustrating silos of information and access everything you need directly within Spike. No more switching between internal and external mail apps. No more managing multiple Calendars across separate productivity tools. And no more shuffling files to your desktop only to upload them again.
Spike Groups provides instant previews of your shared files, allowing you to look at shared documents directly within the Spike app—saving time and storage space. It also means you can quickly find the right document even when there are multiple working copies being shared among the group. It's quick, easy, and offers the ultimate in accessibility when sharing attachments of any type.
Finally, there's plenty of people out there who don't enjoy paying a premium for premium features, and Slack can be notoriously expensive—particularly for large organizations. Spike, on the other hand, offers a simple two-tier approach depending on the features you require. A Spike Personal Account is a completely free slack alternative that offers unlimited personal accounts, up to 100k (10x more than Slack) of message storage, and up to 10 Groups. For larger corporations with custom email domains, a Business Account offers unlimited Groups and message archiving for just $5.99 a month.
Spike—The Asynchronous Slack Chat Alternative
The always-on mentality that Slack encourages does nothing for your productivity. Your brain is constantly switching between different tasks, projects, and conversations, meaning you never get a chance to focus on your work and find your flow. However, Spike is proud to do things differently, and we've found the perfect balance between instant messaging and email.
Spike's foundation is asynchronous. That means you don't have to be online and active to be part of the conversation. In a similar way to conventional email, colleagues and clients can send you messages that will happily wait in your inbox until you are ready to deal with them. They don't demand your instant attention, and they don't constantly disrupt your day. However, with Spike, you also have the option of communicating and collaborating instantly when you need or want to. As an alternative to Slack, it's got all the functionality you need to work smarter and faster.
Additionally, Spike is a powerhouse when it comes to innovative features and tools designed to make team chat and other kinds of communication easier. If you're the type who likes to get ahead of the game, then our Slack alternative includes powerful Send Later functionality that allows you to schedule emails and messaging for a more suitable time. Want to remind your team of an impending deadline but stay focused on your own work? Simply schedule an email for a later time and date. Only have time to compose the weekly update email at midnight? Just schedule it to be sent the next morning. Simple.
The Slack Alternative—A Final Thought
Groups is the future of team collaboration and internal communication—and once you've tried our Slack alternative, we're sure you'll never want to go back! Download Spike today and discover how it works best for you. We're always open to new collaborations and we would love to hear your thoughts on how we can push email firmly into the 21st century. Additionally, head over to our blog to keep up with all the latest updates and releases, alongside a wealth of productivity tips & tricks. You're going to love it.

Slides from my SXSW 2011 talk. Here's the abstract:
With so much music available, finding new music that you like can be like finding a needle in a haystack. We need new tools to help us to explore the world of music, tools that can help us separate the wheat from the chaff. In this panel we will look at how visualizations can be used to help people explore the music space and discover new, interesting music that they will like. We will look at a wide range of visualizations, from hand drawn artist maps, to highly interactive, immersive 3D environments. We'll explore a number of different visualization techniques including graphs, trees, maps, timelines and flow diagrams and we'll examine different types of music data that can contribute to a visualization. Using numerous examples drawn from commercial and research systems we'll show how visualizations are being used now to enhance music discovery and we'll demonstrate some new visualization techniques coming out of the labs that we'll find in tomorrow's music discovery applications.
