Transylvaliens is a transformational festival focused on celebrating diversity through music, arts and culture. The psytrance community meets yearly and spends four wonderfully warm summer days in the heart of Transylvania's astonishing nature scenery.
For 2016 we have worked a lot to bring you an amazing line-up, featuring more than 40 live acts and DJs, with music for every moment of the day and night.
The line-up has been carefully selected to create a musical story, a journey that starts on the 26th of July and ends on the 31st.

We welcome you to the global Alien family to meet new and exciting people, dance together under the summer sky, relax in the sun, heal and meditate in the moonlight or just disconnecting from your everyday life.
Food stall
We want to offer quality food at affordable prices to all the aliens, so if you think that you can help us out we'd love to hear from you. For more details about the selection criteria and application forms click here.
Market stall
Transylvaliens Festival is a place that supports fairies, aliens, artists, craftsmen, magicians and their inspiring creations from all around the world.
Photo & media
We welcome aliens with professional photo & media experience.
Volunteers are an important part of making this festival happen. We are looking for proactive people who want to be involved in the activities before and during the gathering.
Workshops & art
It is said that performance art consists of four elements: time, space, body, and audience-performer relationship. When you explore your body, voice and mind there are no limits and rules. You could be a fire bender, a marvelous magician, a theater enthusiast, a fantastic dancer, a body painter or just have a unique talent or gift that you would like to share with the alien family. We would love to hear your story and admire your project!
Running a festival is a costly endeavor, so we embrace sponsors and partners that can help us keep this event affordable for all the aliens in the world. We are very committed to our values and views so we expect that our partners share them. We are looking for ethical, community responsible, environmentally friendly, fair trade organizations and people whose ultimate purpose is to have a positive impact. If you believe that your visions and values coincide with ours we would love to hear from you.

If Quentin Tarantino has his way, his version of Star Trek will feel like "Pulp Fiction in space." Though the Oscar-winning filmmaker is still dancing around the question of whether he's actually going to helm a big-screen installment of the venerable franchise, he spoke freely about his ideas to Deadline, revealing that funny little detail about his dream Star Trek movie.
During the interview, Tarantino referred to a 2018 Simon Pegg interview in which the actor, who has started in the most recent version of the franchise, said the Tarantino adaptation would very much not feel like "Pulp Fiction in space." Tarantino, however, refutes that notion.
"I get annoyed at Simon Pegg," Tarantino told Deadline. "He doesn't know anything about what's going on, and he keeps making all these comments as if he knows about stuff. One of the comments he said, he's like, 'Well, look, it's not going to be Pulp Fiction in space.' Yes, it is! If I do it, that's exactly what it'll be. It'll be Pulp Fiction in space."
Pulp Fiction in space! Prepare for bowl cuts and retro dancing scenes and F-bombs galore. The script for the upcoming Star Trek has been penned by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), and Tarantino apparently loves it, calling it a "really cool" piece of work. "There's some things I need to work on but I really, really liked it," he said.
The script also already had a "Pulp Fiction-y aspect," Tarantino continued. "I have never read a science fiction movie that has this shit in it, ever. There's no science fiction movie that has this in it. And they said, I know, that's why we want to make it. It's, at the very least, unique in that regard."
Of course, the filmmaker still hasn't officially committed to the project, so it's unclear if we'll ever see a Tarantino Star Trek movie. He's gone on and on about retiring after making his 10th movie, and now that Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, his ninth film, is on the verge of release, it's unclear what project he'll use as his swan song. But, Tarantino is an avowed Star Trek fan, so perhaps he'll use the favored franchise to cap his Perfect 10.
However, just because he's stepping away from film doesn't mean he's going to stop working entirely. In the interview, Tarantino also revealed that he has written a play and five episodes of a show titled Bounty Law—which is teased in Once Upon a Time; it's one of the fictional TV Westerns that Leonardo DiCaprio's character, a fading actor named Rick Dalton, stars in in the 1950s. The series doesn't have a home, but Tarantino doesn't seem like he's putting it away.
"I can't imagine Leonardo is going to want to do it. Cast somebody else? If he wants to do it that would be great," the filmmaker said. "I'm not planning on that but I have an outline for about three other episodes. So I'll probably write about three other episodes and then just do it. Direct every episode. They're a half hour long. I wouldn't mind doing it for Netflix but I'd want to shoot it on film. Showtime, HBO, Netflix, FX."

This Deadlands campaign takes place primarily in and around the community of Paiute Springs, Nevada, in rough-and-tumble Lincoln County. It's a mostly peaceful little mining town, with a few eccentric characters to keep things interestin'. But the folks there mostly get along to get along and there's little to fear directly in the town.
But there's a storm a-brewin'. And Paiute Springs is right in its path. Will heroes emerge that can defeat the evil that has its beady, glowing eyes on this pocketful of normalcy in the middle of the desert?

It was a celebration night of four brands and their representatives, who joined forces with the stylish Hotel 57 in Surry Hills to launch the Ethical Fashion Experience.
This intimate gathering took place in the lobby of Hotel 57, Kent and I were sipping our welcome glass of champagne while being introduced to Jimmy Saruchera, the principle behind Wires Glasses. 'Wires is a line of fair-trade, wire-crafted sunglasses designed by Yair Neumann in London, and made by expert craftspeople in Zimbabwe.' As we were given a brief intro to Wires Glasses by Jimmy, we happily met the sculptor Daniel Dominguez who's head sculptures were on display to showcase the uniqueness of Wires Glasses.
Katja Vilund, an attractive, petite Finnish young lady, who's the designer and business owner of urban jewellery line – Vilund Design. What is ethical about Vilund Design is that, Katja has visited her workshop in the Southeast Asia and has seen herself that there's no child labour and the craftspeople are paid properly. Citizen Wolf's business owner Zoltan Csaki proudly informed us that all his organic cotton T-shirts are Australia owned and made.
Although we missed out on meeting with Mighty Good Undies (well, perhaps next time), we were impressed by these brands, who have incorporated the ethical aspects of manufacturing into their designs; in other words, they are socially aware as they are chic!
To find out more details about these brands, you can go online, check them out in Eastside Sydney areas of Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Potts Point which are trendy suburbs where these brands all being from; or pay a visit to Hotel 57, there's an unique installation in the lobby showcasing these four handmade, elegant fashion products.

You might consider this as an option for the summer if you are interested in outdoor adventures and want to work a little as well.

Full Transcript:
Thanks for tuning in today for Season 2 Episode 5 of the LiveCampWork Podcast. Today I'm talking about Workamping at Yelowstone National Park for Delaware North!
Delaware North Parks & Resorts at Yellowstone National Park operates 12 General Stores inside the world's first national park where guests enjoy an array of gifts and keepsakes to take home from their trips. Delaware North also serves meals at the Fountain Grills and offers groceries, equipment and supplies.
Imagine what a few months spent exploring natural wonders like Old Faithful Geyser, would be like! This could be the Workamping adventure you've always dreamed of, and its more attainable than you might think! As a Workamper in Yellowstone, you will have the ultimate 'local' experience of living inside the park and the spectacular ability to go beyond what millions of tourists are able to see in short visits throughout the summer.
As an employer, Delaware North does a great job of offering positions to a variety of people from all over the globe. From retirees to younger travelers, college students, international guests and everyone in-between, they hire a diverse group of people to help bring great experiences to visitors from all around the world!
When you make the decision to work at Yellowstone, you really make the decision to have a great summer! If you love the outdoors and/or have an urge to explore, this is the place for you!
I like to think that, this is the cream of the crop when it comes to Workamping experiences because it offers so many activities for Workampers to enjoy throughout their time working there.
As you can imagine there are many reasons why you would want to apply for a position to work at Yellowstone but just incase you need a push- let's look at some of them.
3 Fun Reasons to Choose Yellowstone This Summer:
- With 1,000 miles of hiking trails, everyone can find their perfect hike from day trips to backcountry excursions.
- As home to more than 10,000 geysers and hot springs to explore at your leisure, fun is waiting for you everywhere.
- Employee Recreation Program Co-op: Offers trips around the park for employees like rafting, sporting events, talent shows, backpacking and more, all for FREE.
The Yellowstone Workamping season usually starts early to mid-April and wraps up towards the end of November. It's kind of similar to other Workamping programs, where you have the ability to provide a start date and then they will do their best to place you at one of their locations and I'm pretty sure they are looking for commitments with a 4-6 week min.
You can expect to work 32-40 hours per week, per person. They hire singles, couples, and families, but make sure to discuss your scheduling needs up front. Sometimes split shifts are required which might not work for families needing opposite shifts to account for child care. And some times they fill all their single Workamper sites in the beginning of the hiring season, leaving solos in a situation where they'll need to team up with someone choose dorm housing!
The team at Delaware North is very welcoming and do a great job of trying to accommodate everyone's needs. They also have a very straightforward approach to RV requirements… it just has to have all hard sides to be considered acceptable. Tents and tiny houses are not allowed, but sckoolies are a-okay!
I'll cut straight to the chase on this topic… working at Yellowstone will not make you rich! The wages are on the lower side of the average pay scale and start at about $9.50 (sometimes more) an hour, which is paid weekly.
Now I know I probably lost a few folks with that information, but before you count it out, you need to take into consideration where you are able to live for a 3-6 months…
You'll be living at Yellowstone all summer long, and so for that reason I approach working at Yellowstone as a job you take on for an adventure, to explore the location, and to create memories-not one that pays for further travel adventures down the road.
Also, as a huge bonus, like literally, you will receive a $3 per hour bonus for all hours worked on your final paycheck when you complete the time agreement you signed up for! That's a great bonus, when most employers offer $.50-$1.00 per hour bonuses! So keep that in mind while you make the decision on if this Workamping job is right for you.
Let's keep going-
Living At Yellowstone
Dormitories and RV sites are both available onsite living options for employees. RV campgrounds are shared with Xanterra employees but are not open to the public.
While FHU RV sites are not provided FREE with your employment, they are highly discounted and start at about $32 per week plus electric, which is payroll deductible. Most of the RV sites for Workampers are close to the stores, maybe a mile away, and if you are working at the Hotels, they are within walking distance.
Slides and size of the RV are some of the constraints of the available campgrounds. Sites that accommodate long rigs and those with ample space for slides will be limited, so try to plan and apply early.
To my understanding, Yellowstone is considered to be very remote. Big box retailers, hospitals and general shopping are not close by and would require a trip to town to pick up necessary supplies and medications, or to be seen by a physician.
Employee Health Program:
The seasonal employee health program known as Medcor, is not optional. Its required for all employees by the National Park Service and the cost is just under $8 per week.
Medcor isn't actual insurance or healthcare for that matter and should not be relied upon as such. It is more of a way to cover some of the costs of basic medical services offered at the three in park clinics, which are then offered at a discount to employees.
Available Positions
Most, if not all positions, are physically demanding and can be quite strenuous at altitudes between 6,000-8,000 feet. But in general here are some of the basic positions they hire for each season.
- Inside the General Stores
- Cashier/Retail Assistant
- Cash Room Associate
- Stocker
- Warehouse Associate
- Employee Dining Room Cook
- Grill Cook
- Kitchen Assistant
- Custodian
- Inside the West Yellowstone Hotels
- Front Desk Clerk
- Host/Cashier
- Retail Clerk
- Housekeeper
- Laundry Attendant
- Line Cook
Limited Technology
It has been said that technology while living in Yellowstone is comparable to what was available more than a decade ago… this would obviously drive some folks crazy, while others will appreciate the chance to disconnect.
In some parts of the park the internet and cell phone connectivity are limited, and in others it's totally unavailable. Be prepared for this experience and think carefully on how being limited in your connectivity will affect you. Wi-Fi is available, though very limited, and some dorms have computers with internet available.
Verizon is the best cell provider in the park and pay phones are available at all locations.
For some people this alone would be a deal breaker, I might be included in that group as I spend way too much time checking my phone for messages, emails and liking things on social media.
We could probably spend a few hours talking about that- but let's not. As a matter of fact let's wrap it up for today! If your interested on working for Delaware north, I will list their contact information in the show notes so you can follow-up directly. They do like for you to fill out an online application, but if you have questions you can reach out to them directly.
Alright, that's gonna be all for today on the Live Camp Work Podcast! Thanks so much for tuning in today and please hope on over to iTunes and leave me a review to help more people find this information! Feel free to share the links with your friends and family as well as anyone you think might find value in it!
You can always find me on Facebook in the LiveCampWork Facebook Group or on the LiveCampWork website. I'd love to hear from you, so drop me a line in the comments section or send an email to email@example.com
As always and until next time,
I wish you safe travels and many adventures.

It's fun to race up to the top of the couch and run back and forth as fast as I can. I have a cute little sister named Shirley and we love to wrestle together. I am quite a bit bigger than her, so I enjoy my advantage, although she often tackles me first! I also love to play with boxes and any toys that are presented to me. My foster mom says that I haven't quite found my voice yet because every time I try to meow around meal time, all that comes out are little squeaks! I also like to take naps after I play and I enjoy cuddle time. When I'm really relaxed, I'll even let you pet my little white tummy. My sister Shirley and I have grown up together from the start and we love each other dearly, so therefore we would like to come to your house together! Please contact my foster mom Elaine at 310-529-7362 to come and meet us!

(C2FO) Collaborative Cash Flow Optimization. Bank on Dave: one man's crusade to help small businesses raise finance. The banks are "shit".
According to Dave Fishwick, a Burnley businessman who has made millions as the biggest minibus supplier in Britain, "all they have done is shit on people". It's a crude assessment, but it's one probably now shared by millions as the Barclays scandal unfolds and NatWest picks up the pieces from its service meltdown. As he drives round his home town, all Fishwick sees are the relics of an industrial past, boarded-up shops and one To Let sign after another. But unlike almost everyone else, he has done something about it. In a unique model, that links savers in his home town earning paltry interest on their deposits with local businesses starved of cash, Fishwick has opened "Bank of Dave". Pensioners earn 5% on their money – better than any best-buy deal on offer from the high street banks – while small business borrowers pay 8.9% to 14.9% a year interest, or less than the rates often charged by conventional banks.
Equity Based Crowdfunding Platform. Kiva's Secret Project To Let You Give Peer-To-Peer Loans. Microlending website Kiva's original proposition was simple: Make an interest-free loan to someone who no bank will touch.
The site, which launched in 2005, became wildly popular, as people gleefully gave a few dollars to struggling businesspeople in the developing world, and then saw that business grow and had their money repaid. But many lenders assumed--not surprisingly, given Kiva's marketing and web design--that the smiling face on the other end of the PayPal transaction got the exact cash they lent out.
A minor kerfuffle ensued in 2009 when a blogger broadcast the fine print of Kiva's website, revealing the nuance that a donation actually goes to take on the risk of a loan already made to that person by a microfinance institution. In other words, the person you chose to fund already had his loan. You just make it possible, retroactively.

The P2P Lending Landscape - GLG News. RateSetter sécurise les prêts en P2P. P2P Lending. Players. Is P2P Lending the next frontier for covesting platforms? An interesting tweet from @giyom is at the origin of this post: If we look at what is happening in the investment management sector, perhaps we can extrapolate a possible evolution in P2P Lending.
The development of electronic trading and discount electronic brokers such as E*Trade, have granted a better access to the stock markets. People are now able to trade most products and markets, without having to use a broker, financial advisor, or other intermediary. But trading successfully requires good financial knowledge and time, which most people may not have. Companies such as Kaching or Covestor, allow investors to follow the investment of "managers" (other investors for Covestor or qualified investment managers for Kaching).
This reintermediation strategy could be applied to P2P lending.

Celui-ci détaille les différents éléments du contexte réglementaire en France à prendre en compte pour les opérations d'un service de prêt entre particuliers ouvert sur internet. Ce n'est cependant pas le seul modèle possible de prêt entre particuliers (voir le billet précèdent pour la description des autres modèles) mais c'est le plus représenté (avec des acteurs comme Zopa, Prosper, Lending Club, Smava,…).
Si vous interrogez un avocat sur la légalité du prêt entre particuliers, il évoquera en règle générale le monopole bancaire du crédit comme obstacle légal à la mise en place d'un service de ce type. C'est une réponse mais, on l'oublie souvent, le prêt entre particuliers ne s'arrête pas à une opération de crédit mais est constitué aussi des opérations : Quelles sont donc les obligations à satisfaire pour pouvoir réaliser ces opérations ?

Rugby World Cup Unofficial Ticket Holders May be Denied Entry
While England Rugby 2015 didn't manage to persuade the government to make ticket touting illegal, in their terms and conditions it states that anyone who buys a ticket from an unauthorised outlet may be refused entry to a game.
The organisation is worried that other agencies may use software to mass buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. This is particularly of concern for popular games; already some agencies are advertising tickets for matches at greatly inflated prices based on the assumption that they will be able to get some.
Matches involving New Zealand and England are likely to be particularly affected as they are the favourite teams to win with odds of 13/8 and 4/1 respectively. Furthermore, all of the UK teams' matches are likely to prove popular, even though they are not amongst the favourites to win. Ireland has odds of 12/1, Wales has odds of 10/1 to win while Scotland has been given odds of 200/1.
France games could also be targeted by ticket touts, the team is 6th favourite to win with odds of 14/1 and numerous French fans are expected to travel to their games.

Breaking free of the mockumentary shackles that had become his exclusive domain, Christopher Guest gets back to mirthful basics with "For Your Consideration," which is less a La-La-Land satire than a glorious sketch comedy throwback. The Guest troupe, many of whom hail from the Seventies Canadian show "SCTV," as well as "Saturday Night Live," amass fresh talent with each new feature–one of the true pleasures of Guest's films is discovering additions to the gang and watching their talents blossom, such as the reliably gung-ho toothiness of Don Lake, the tremulous neuroses of Deborah Theaker, and the high-strung, bird-like mannerisms of Michael Hitchcock. Yet for an ongoing project so predicated on shucking common aesthetic and narrative practices, Guest's fake-doc form had become, well, predictable. While the actors always manage to find hilarious riffs (Fred Willard in "Best in Show") and pockets of surprising depth (Eugene Levy in "A Mighty Wind"), Guest and co-writer Levy's insistence on following a workable template from film to film (following a disparate group of regional sad-sacks on their deluded way to a climactic performance–community theater, dog show, folk revival–on which they hang all their outsized hopes) resulted in an increasing lack of spontaneity.
In "For Your Consideration," Guest and Levy remain fascinated by the ways in which people fixate on one major event to supply their lives with meaning (it's surprising they have yet to do a film on a wedding, or more appropriately, a bar mitzvah), and their vision here of such delusion is perhaps the bleakest it's ever been. Yet in the move away from the regional satire of myopic townies, Guest, Levy, and his brilliant crew of improvisers turn the camera on themselves, and what results is both a more straightforward narrative and a refreshingly anachronistic throwback to the cast's comic origins. It's more riotous and broad; many may deem the satire here as "stale," yet to do so is to deny a history of Borscht Belt comic tradition: Certainly one can't recognize the film's central movie-in-the-movie, a ridiculous indie melodrama called "Home for Purim," as reflecting current Hollywood trends, yet the egos, desperations, and compromises that the crew goes through in "For Your Consideration" are instantly recognizable. And more importantly, the characters here are both sadly human and wildly funny.
"For Your Consideration"'s satire reaches for accessibility: there's none of the insider-y smarm of "The Player." Whatever commentary there is on Hollywood's superficial being is contained within the egos of the characters–John Michael Higgins' self-proclaimed Choctaw publicity agent, constantly spouting proud Native American idioms; Jennifer Coolidge's hilariously opaque, ditz producer trying to feign authority; Guest's rotund, Harold Ramis-afro'd director instructing an actress to act "from the bottom of your womanhood." It's all very funny, not so much "on target" (what does that really mean?) as completely invested in the mannerisms and exuberance of its players.
However, the movie belongs to the brilliant Catherine O'Hara; she owns it from the first frame, in which she brushes her bundle of tawny hair while watching and trying to emulate Bette Davis in "Jezebel," to the last–a close-up as terrifying as it is laugh-out-loud. The narrative is hers; her pathos sting, her slapstick sticks, and her facial contortions tickle even as they break your heart.

Explore east of Aventura Mall and massive Turnberry Isle to find Porto Vita Aventura. The thirty story condo offers a broad range of residential options from two bedroom condo homes with breathtaking views to ultra-posh four bedroom penthouses. Porto Vita is one of the best Aventura condos based solely on its location yet its many additional features make it even more appealing.
The word 'vast' is a good way to describe Porto Vita's features. Expect to see spacious balconies, high end kitchens with appliances by Gaggenau and cherry wood cabinetry, Jacuzzi tubs in the bathrooms and tinted floor to ceiling glass doors that easily allow you to step out onto the aforementioned balcony and enjoy some fresh air. Once you stepped beyond the two story lobby of the Porto Vita Aventura you'll discover a number of amenities that go well beyond the standards. The pool is only a small introduction to everything else that awaits you at Porto Vita.
Porto Vita shines and that has a lot to do with its Aventura home. At Porto Vita, the best of Aventura is always a moment away which means Aventura Mall or the golf courses are always near the Porto Vita condo plus the many unique people that live in Aventura and thus make Porto Vita such a unique place to call home. As a Porto Vita resident the beach is always close as well as a nightlife scene that doesn't require traveling far from Porto Vita. Dynamism lives at Porto Vita.

This is a belated, hearsay account of yesterday at the FPL. I was on my way home from an English teacher's convention in Las Vegas (show girls, books, a natural pairing!). I called home from a stop over in Salt Lake City, "Ray, did you fill the water cooler for the kids?" I stared at the mountain ranges on both sides of the terminal as he said, yes, he had.
When I got home he reported that only one kid had showed for library time. Luckily, it was A'Miracle and she worked like crazy on math and spelling, played board games, learned about portion size from Ben, the nutrition guy, and all the while books were being cataloged. Library Sundays, always a surprise.
We will be closed next Sunday to honor the lingering effects of Thanksgiving. More in December!

Click here to see the entire collection
• The ultimate, authentic traditional rug collection.
• Our state of the art Prismatic Color Processing Technology allows for thousands of shades of color in each rug.
• Heavy, tight, 40 oz polyester pile with incorporated non-skid backing.
• 40 traditional Persian styles in classic and updated colorways.
• Indoor / Outdoor - UV Stabilized - fade resistant 2 times longer than industry standards (recommended for covered outdoor areas).
• Large sizes are foldable for freight savings.
• Power merchandising color blankets and custom sizes available.
• Crafted in USA.
To keep the appearance of your area rug at its peak and to achieve maximum floor life, it is necessary to follow these guidelines:
Vacuum your area rug at least once a week or more if needed. Vacuums with a rotating beater bar are only recommended for cut pile rugs. Straight suction vacuums are only recommended for loop pile and shag rugs. The use of rotating beater bar vacuum on a loop pile rug will cause excessive pile fuzzing. Please note that initial fiber shedding is normal for all new rugs, regardless of fiber type, but should lessen significantly after 8-10 vacuumings.
Rotating your area rug 180 degrees every 3 months in a commercial setting will increase longevity and reduce noticeable traffic patterns.
Rug pads or attached non-skid backing are recommended to extend the life of the rug, prevent slipping, provide cushion, protect the floor and allow for easier vacuuming.
Standard Warm Water Extraction (water temp < 150 degrees) using a mild detergent may be used for general overall rug cleaning. Do not use a rotating brush carpet shampooer on loop pile rugs as this causes excessive pile fuzzing. Never soak the rug which may cause backing delamination, shrinkage, or pile reversal.
We recommend Woolite™ Pet Stain & Odor Remover Carpet cleaner + Oxy to treat stains or spills as directed by the cleaner manufacturer. Quickly addressing the spot greatly improves the chances of a full cleaning. For spills, always blot (never rub) excess liquids with a dry white cloth. Before using any spot cleaner, always test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't damage the rug. If in doubt, call a reputable carpet and rug cleaner.

Beyoncé and Jay Z Threw Blue Ivy a Fairy-Themed Birthday Party With Celebrity Guests
Happy birthday, Blue Ivy! Beyoncé and Jay Z's beautiful baby girl turned four years old on the January 7, and to celebrate, her parents threw her a magical fairy-themed birthday party this past Saturday.
With lots of treats to appease the tiny tummies in attendance, including a giant birthday cake and ice cream, the party also supplied guests with plenty of Barbies, Play-Doh and LEGOs to play with, keeping the young party-goers' hands happy and busy. Featuring an entertainer making balloon animals, it was a party perfectly planned for the junior guests.
With less than 50 guests attending the playful bash, a few adult family friends joined in the fun, including stars like Kelly Rowland and Chris Martin, although it's unclear whether they brought their own kids as guests for Blue's birthday. Either way, Blue Ivy surely had the time of her charmed little life.
How would you wish Blue Ivy Carter a happy fourth birthday? Tell us @britandco!

Nvidia has introduced a technology that it hopes will push laptops to a whole new level, with 'Optimus' providing an elegant way of integrating powerful graphics cards without killing battery life.
Nvidia's Optimus technology, which will be arriving to market in early March on two Asus machines before being rolled out by more manufacturers, allows for automatic switching between low battery-draining integrated graphics and more powerful but power-hungry discrete graphics – conserving battery life when the latter isn't needed.
The current options on laptops for people who want graphical oomph are limited; most laptops have integrated graphics chips which are fine for surfing or most desktop applications, but really struggle with any kind of video encoding and can't cope with modern games.
This led to two further options – laptops with separate (called discrete) GPUs that were on all the time, and drained battery life heavily or 'switchable' solutions – which meant the user could switch between integrated graphics and discrete graphics when they needed to.
And it is the latter technology that Optimus should bring to the mainstream, putting an end to clunky manual switching (be it through hardware or software).
The Optimus technology means that users do not need to switch between integrated and discrete; the decision on what is needed is made by the computer and done seamlessly in the background with no need for reboot or flickering screen.
Nvidia explained to Techradar that this was due to the integrated graphics always being used as the controller of the display, even when the discrete graphics card was on and the laptop in a more powerful mode.
'It just works' is the phrase being used by Nvidia for Optimus, and the hope is that this tech will encourage laptop makers to start adding more laptops with discrete graphics cards, as users realise that they can have a laptop that is both powerful enough to run the latest games with ease, yet won't drain the battery in a matter of minutes when only using the internet.
The technology is starting out on laptops, but could well migrate to desktop computers where power saving is less crucial, but increasingly demanded by eco-savvy consumers.

SoundCloud, an online audio distribution platform hailing from Berlin, Germany, has finally refreshed its user interface on iPads, following a major revamp on the iPhone and iPod touch side last summer.
And just like the iPhone revamp, the more visual iPad experience with an emphasis on album art in the new SoundCloud 3.7.1 comes with a major disappointment as the audio recording feature has now been killed.
Although you can no longer use SoundCloud for iOS to upload your sounds and music to the Sound Cloud service, the web interface or dedicated apps such as Retronyms' free AudioCopy will get the job done.
If you have any locally stored sounds in the Sound Cloud app, you're advised to upload them to the service before losing this functionality due to the update.
Like its counterpart, SoundCloud for iPad lets you create playlists, consolidate your likes and playlists in one location, access a user's profile from a track or playlist by clicking on their name, discover and hear fresh new indie music and sounds, share your favorite audio with friends and followers, log in to build your Collection and more.
This edition of SoundCloud also improves performance and gives you a smoother scrolling experience on the iPhone and iPod touch.
The 17.2-megabyte universal app requires iOS 7.0 or later.

VIEW PHOTOS | 3rd Annual Doggies on the Catwalk
The storylines out of Doggies on the Catwalk last Friday were almost as numerous as the crowd on hand: Local celebs, a four-legged hero, a husky drag queen, budding fashion designers and a reality show favorite.
That, in a nutshell, summed up an evening that went more glam than in the past as it worked to raise funds for Pets Are Loving Support, the non-profit pet care provider for critically-ill people best known for its monthly bingo nights featuring Bubba D. Licious and Alexandria Martin.
The premise is pretty simple. Think a mix of Bravo's "NYC Prep" and Lifetime's "Project Runway" — ouch, it still hurts to say Lifetime — and a little sprinkle of Bravo's "Launch My Line" — ouch, it hurts to watch that last one. Swap out Tim Gunn for E. Vincent Martinez (third photo), who is just as sassy, fashionable and gay as Gunn, and make the setting Grady High School's UrbanCouture program, which Martinez founded.
So, Friday's Doggies was the culmination of the UrbanCouture students working with local celebrities to design an outfit for both the celeb and their pooch. The runway show, the centerpiece of the event, features the celeb working their fashion with the pup in tow. And as any dog owner can tell you, walking their four-legged best friend can be challenging enough. Mix in a dog dressed in couture, telvevsion cameras, bright lights, a runway and 300 people and hilarity ensues.
The show, in its third year, went upscale as Martinez inked a deal with Georgia Public Broadcasting to host the event at its plush studios on 14th Street in Midtown. Last year, Grady hosted the event in its gym and raised $2,208 for PALS.
The move to GPB offered a larger space and the opportunity to turn Doggies into television, with CNN's Holly Firfer serving as anchor and mixing backstage reporting and video clips between runway appearances. The show airs on GPB-TV on Jan. 24 at 7 p.m.
Local celebrities working the runway this year included WGCL's Jen Mayerle, V-103's morning show drag mistress Miss Sophia (fourth photo), CNN weather hunk Rob Marciano (bottom photo), actress Catherine Dyer, V-103 morning host Frank Ski, gay celebrity stylist Richie Arpino (top photo), radio and TV personality Tom Sullivan (second photo) and model Veronica Best (top photo).
Student designers included Kelsi Eccles, Sarah Darrow, Jennifer Ramirez, Lakisha Beauford, Sarah Collins, Savanna Sweeny, Claire Buyens, Brenae Wright, Jhari Ponder, Destini Rhone, Maia Miller, Taylor Alford and Shelby Rudd.
Also on hand was surprise guest designer Mychael Knight (fifth photo), who gained notoriety during the third season of "Project Runway" and with a cameo on the first season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Knight dropped by the event last year and this year, designed a dress for Best.
He also pitched in to solve a backstage fashion emergency, according to the AJC's Buzz:
Seems the dress created for CNN's Holly Firfer, who hosted the charity event taped at Georgia Public Broadcasting studios, ended up offering a little more boom-boom pow than public television audiences might be comfortable with.
Knight's solution? Safety pins! Lots of them. The result was artful and creative and no one was the wiser. (Well, until now. Heh heh.)
"He saved me!" said Vincent Martinez, founder and director of Grady's UrbanCouture program and the brains behind the annual fashion show. It benefits Pets are Loving Support, which provides food and vet care for the companion animals of critically ill, elderly or disabled metro Atlantans.
There were also a few fashion faux paws, says ATL Intel blogger Richard Eldredge:
But as usual, there were a few fashion faux paws when it came time for the couture-clad canines to strut their stuff on the catwalk.
Jessicashops.com retail reporter Jessica Dauler had to borrow a pooch from pal KC Public Relations co-owner Kristin Cowart after Dauler's beloved Sasha demonstrated some "behavioral issues" that prevented her from participating.
But Cowart's dog Gatsby arrived on stage with Dauler sans wardrobe.
Cracked host and CNN anchor Holly Firfer: "Gatsby, you're naked!"
In the audience, Cowart had a hand over her mouth.
"My first thought was 'Gatsby has eaten his outfit,'" she told Intel. "It's not out of the realm of possibility. This dog has eaten a sock, Miracle-Gro, and a pair of $20 bills before."
There's a diva on every catwalk.
What's left? That's right — the four-legged hero. That would be Sybil, who was crowned PALS mascot last year and worked the runway during Rubbing Noses in September.
Sybil was paired with Marciano on Friday (photo right), which came just days after a heart-warming tale that unfolded with owners Mike Patterson and Robert Standard at their LaGrange home.
For nine hours one brutally cold night last week, Mike Patterson lay on the frozen ground. Weak from recent surgery, he'd gone outside and slipped, unable to get up. When workers finally found him, his dog Sybil was curled next to her master, keeping him warm and, Patterson's friends believe, alive. "She stayed with him throughout the night," said Robert Standard, Patterson's roommate. "We think she kept him from freezing to death." Patterson, who spent a few days in intensive care with hypothermia, is now recovering at their LaGrange home. Sybil has shown no ill effects.

The demand for talents is becoming more and more urgent while the USRIOT is growing. Based on this, the company thinks from the reality, considers for the long-term development, launching a grand campus recruitment activities in 2019 before. On November 20, the opening day of the enterprise, USRIOT company prepared a grand welcome ceremony for more than 30 outstanding graduates.
Vice President of Technology Shao Hui (Right First) attended the Open Day of Enterprises
Graduates are confused when they first leave school and choose their jobs. They are terrified about their abilities and uncertainties in the future, and worried about whether they can adapt to unfamiliar environments. In the views of those, the company hopes to take advantage of this open day of Enterprises to provide an opportunity to understand each other for all.
Success is not a result of election, but a step out! USRIOT provides a large enough stage for all, as well as abundant resources and platforms for all to make full use of your talents. I hope you all love the company, love work, smile for setbacks, not afraid to fail, maintain the state of perseverance, and cultivate the ability of continuous learning.
Vice President of Supply Chain, Fang Yujun (Left First), will show you around the supply chain base
How to realize one's dream when entering society? It requires one's own practical efforts and make extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions. I hope you can integrate into USRIOT as soon as possible, show your potential and contribute your wisdom and talent!
Previously, the USRIOT held a grand campus recruitment activity in 2019. Gu Xin, president of USRIOT Internet of Things, Wang Ya, vice president of sales and Shao Hui, vice president of technology, led the team to Shandong Architectural University, Shandong University of Technology, Shandong University (Central Campus + Weihai Campus), Qilu University of Technology, Harbin Institute Of Technology (Weihai) and other universities to participate in the enterprise campus recruitment activities. I believe that through layer by layer selection of outstanding talents. It will inject fresh blood into USRIOT and lay a solid foundation for the soar of USRIOT.

Best Photos Of Montreal's Beaver Lake During The Fall
Absolutely breathtaking.
October 20, 2015, 10:27 AM
Beaver Lake, one of Montreal's gems adorably tucked away at the top of Mount-Royal. It's so beautiful, it almost makes you wonder who thought it would be a good idea to name it "Beaver Lake."
Forget the fact that I've been hanging out there my whole life and have never seen a beaver. I've seen plenty of raccoons but "Raccoon Lake" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
But never mind all that, take a look at how gorgeous Beaver Lake can be in the Fall though the eyes of legendary Montreal photographer Eric Branover:
Look, a Beaver! Nope wait that's just some leaves.
Beav- No ... human.
Could this be the early stages of a beaver dam? Nope, branches.
No beavers here... :(
These trees need to stop scaring away all the beavers.

Can I develop Gaby Hinsliff's argument (Labour's ideologically left-behind are at last shooting for the stars, 19 May)? A leadership that aims for an election result as good as our last defeat, which was one of our worst ever, hardly instils confidence. Concentrating on not being annihilated misses the point from where the parliamentary Labour party (PLP) must start from the day after polling day.
Jeremy Corbyn has fundamentally shifted the political agenda. Tony Blair was right for 1997. But the PLP needs to accept that Blairism is not right for 2017. Jeremy's manifesto can be criticised for not grouping our policies into a programme for the coming parliament, another for the next, and what is aspirational. That said, his manifesto has projected hope on to a huge number of voters who have felt disenfranchised by a Labour party that, in their view, has ceded its moral crusade against grotesque manmade injustices.
In the event of a defeat on 8 June, Jeremy's manifesto must be the point from which a new PLP alone chooses a parliamentary leader who is able to build trust and legitimacy with the electorate. For the new parliamentary leader not to start from here, and to revert to Blairism, would miss the point of just how much Jeremy has changed centre-left politics. The test which must be passed in the new parliament is to combine a popular programme with a leader who possesses prime ministerial qualities.
Frank Field
Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for Birkenhead
• Jonathan Freedland (Voters are rejecting Santa and embracing Scrooge. Why?, 20 May) points out the clear difference between the bumper hamper of Labour's manifesto and the sack of rotten potatoes that is the Tory one, and asks rhetorically why voters would chose the sack of spuds over the attractive hamper. He then goes on to argue that it is because Labour is not trusted to deliver its hamper of goodies. However, Labour governments, despite any criticisms one may have of them, have always delivered more for ordinary people than the Tories have.
But people's perceptions of the political parties are shaped almost exclusively by a mainstream media that is pro-Tory and rightwing. How could perceptions be otherwise, given this oligarchic system? It is this which persuades people to vote against their own best interests. Until we address the core issue of media ownership and the domination of journalism by a privileged Oxbridge elite, the situation is unlikely to change. Even in the BBC – supposedly politically neutral – we have, as just one example, Nick Robinson, a founding member of Macclesfield Young Conservatives and president of the Oxford University Conservative Association, as the anchor of the influential Today programme. You will be hard-pressed to find any other leading political journalist at the BBC with a leftwing background. The mantra of a "free press" has become meaningless when it is demonstrably not free in economic control terms.
John Green
• Jonathan Freedland states that polling and focus groups have picked up on Diane Abbott's disastrous LBC interview. What he doesn't ask is why those polled happen to be so very well informed about one Labour party member's mistake? Were they all tuned in to LBC that morning? Or could it be that they get all their news from the newspapers, TV and social media? And if these news outlets are all relentlessly negative about Labour, Corbyn and Abbott, as it does appear that they are, including Freedland, then Labour can never break through, however good their policies are and however well costed. The Tories are so confident of winning this election that they do not even bother to cost their manifesto pledges. Where is democracy when the information available to the public is so badly skewed, and how much more broken can our political system get?
Janet Davies
Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
• Never mind fiscal incontinence, it is the verbal kind that is far worse for Labour in this increasingly shambolic campaign. There is a problem with credibility, added to which there is a need for competence; these are gained over time between elections and will reassure voters that their trust has been earned. Lack of message discipline, apparently contracted anytime a shadow minister is on LBC, destroys that, and the latest episode naturally involves Trident (Corbyn restates Labour's commitment to Trident following shadow cabinet row, 20 May).
You have to feel sympathy for Nia Griffith, shadow defence secretary, having to explain settled party policy yet again, attempting to find words clear enough for the shadow foreign secretary to understand. Griffith comes across as an adult politician, who knows her brief and who, amazingly, appears to think before she answers a question. It is quite clear that senior shadow cabinet figures do not support party policy on Trident and would rather set out a position for the next leadership campaign than commit to the common, agreed line for the electorate to consider. This is not the action of serious politicians who want to reach out beyond their core support; the polls would suggest that people have worked that out well before 8 June.
Andy Sellers
• Jonathan Freedland is probably right when he says that what matters in the UK's general elections is "credibility", the party's "ability to deliver" what it promises. His attempt, however, to explain why this is so particularly relevant now is revealing.
This election, he says, stands "in the shadow of the 2008-9 crash", but is nevertheless "billed as a Brexit election", with austerity and the deficit "mentioned rarely". This is an understatement, with austerity-amnesia having clearly broken out among the British media. Tory failures to balance the books, despite the job losses, continued cruel benefits cuts and wage freezes, are spoken about only by Labour politicians, while the slightest mistake by them becomes a "car crash". Where are the headlines in any newspaper, including the Guardian, about Philip Hammond's failure to get the figures for HS2 correct, about Amber Rudd's ignorance of police salaries, about Michael Gove's cluelessness about immigration numbers? Is it any wonder the media's attention on Abbott's failure to nail police costings has made it the "one event" that has "cut through"?
Bernie Evans
• Please may I be invited to your newspaper's "post-election banquet" on 9 June? Hopefully, most of your major columnists, such as Jonathan Freedland, Gaby Hinsliff and Polly Toynbee, will be there. The main ingredient of all five delicious courses will be words. I just want to be there to watch your writers eat them.

U.S. getting happier, but Scandinavians have lock on good cheer
Portrait of happy woman wearing bathing cap and snorkel, lake in backgroundYou may be happy to hear that the United States is inching its way up on the world happiness scale. But Denmark is still "smiles" above us as the happiest nation.
The UN's World Happiness Report 2016 Update lists the U.S. as the 13th happiest country. That's two spots ahead of last year. Holding steady in the top five are:
The researchers found people are happier in places where folks spread good cheer evenly. So despite the cold, Scandinavians have warmed up to sharing their happiness. Their societies boast strong safety nets, which seem to boost happiness.
Happiness measures may mean better public policy
Though the topic may seem lighthearted, it's no joke. Societies worldwide are paying attention to data on happiness and well-being. It helps them embrace policies that support better lives. And researchers say measuring happiness tells them more about how well a society lives than other factors, such as income and education.
This New York Times article has more on the World Happiness Conference.
