# Walmart launches 1-hour grocery delivery in GTA with Instacart partnership

Published Thursday, September 13, 2018 11:07AM EDT

Walmart Canada says it is starting to roll out one-hour grocery delivery today for customers in parts of the Greater Toronto Area.

The discount grocer says it's partnered with Instacart, a California-based company, to provide the service.

Shoppers use the Instacart website or app to place their order, which is then picked out and delivered by Instacart employees.

The one-hour delivery offering will expand to Winnipeg on Sept. 27, and possibly to other markets later.

Walmart Canada already offers next-day delivery, as well as the option to order online and pick up in-store, in parts of the GTA.

Many Canadian grocers have recently started to grow their e-commerce offerings as they face increased pressure after tech titan Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market.

Loblaw Companies Ltd. also partnered with Instacart to offer home delivery and plans to "blanket the country" with online grocery services this year.

Sobeys Inc., on the other hand, signed a partnership deal with British company Ocado Group to build a customer fulfillment centre that will store food and automate the food selection process.

Its service will launch in the GTA in about two years.

The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards are awarded annually to make-up artists and hair stylist in feature films, television programs, commercials, live network events and theatrical productions in the United States.

Welcome to our new Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild website.

George Westmore founded the first, very small make-up department at the Selig Polyscope Studios in 1917.

As the studio system grew in the early 1920s, the make-up artists, hair stylists and wig makers were born in Hollywood.

Make-up and hair styling techniques used in the legitimate theater were carried over to this new form of entertainment called the movies.

Actors Lon Chaney and Cecil Holland had a knack for greasepaint, as well as Jack Pierce, who was an assistant cameraman.

Orthocromatic film stock used in those early films caused the actors' skin tone to photograph twice as dark as in reality, and film make-up required a whole new understanding of colors.

As the film industry grew and flourished in Hollywood, the Motion Picture Make-up Artists Association combined with the dozens of Hair Stylists and Wigmakers working at the Max Factor Studio and received their own charter from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, forming I.A.T.S.E. Local 706 in 1937.

At that time and until the 1970s, all make-up artists were men, and all hair stylists were women.

Thanks to the five Westmore brothers, Jack Pierce, Cecil Holland, Jack Dawn, F.B. Phillips, Nellie Manley, Larry Germain, Edith Hubner, Joan St. Ogar and others, Local 706 is what it is today.

Our founding artists were the pioneers of cinema make-up and hair styling.

They stood up for their brothers and sisters fighting for better working conditions and not only advanced the artistry in our crafts, but they also achieved wage scales, health and pension benefits, and contractual working conditions that are still in today's contracts.

Today, the Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild is rich with diversity and represents artists in feature films and television, commercials, "Live" network television, all types of theatrical productions and Disneyland Theme Parks.

Our members have created some of the most memorable characters in the world of entertainment, have won dozens of Oscars, hundreds of Emmys, BAFTAs, Saturn Awards and every other award for make-up and hair styling artistry.

Our work touches lives every minute of the day whether you are enjoying an opera or ballet, watching the news, talk shows or soap operas, being scared to death by zombies, laughing at a sit-com or taking a photo with Snow White at Disneyland.

We are one of the very few crafts to be represented on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Rick Baker, John Chambers, The Westmore Family and Stan Winston).

Our members have come to Hollywood not only from North and South America, but from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and Iceland.

People come from all over the world to be a Hollywood Make-up Artist or Hair Stylist.

All of our various classifications have different and specific entry requirements (please see the "About" tab for How to Join).

Membership in the Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild is attained through hard work, perseverance and passion.

There are no shortcuts, there are no apprenticeship programs or internships.

The competition is very stiff, but membership is a goal worth achieving.

Make-up artists and hair stylists must be "on trend" with the most current red carpet looks, but also proficient with "period" work, bald caps, facial hair, basic prosthetics and character work, basic barbering and wigs for both men and women.

In film and television, I.E.R. Journeyman and Trainee Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists work specifically in their own craft; Hair Stylists must have and maintain a current cosmetology license.

We invite you to explore and enjoy our new website, peruse issues of our official magazine The Artisan and obtain all vital information pertaining to the Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards.

# Inside the Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards

## The Valentine's Day awards ceremony — honoring makeup artist Rick Baker, hairstylist Kathryn Blondell and director Guillermo del Toro — showed plenty of love to Hollywood's top artisans.

It takes a special event to pull more than 500 of the Hollywood's top makeup artists, hair stylists, execs and talent away from Valentine's Day festivities, but the annual Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards, held on Saturday night in Los Angeles, did just that.

Held at the Paramount Studios Lot, the black-tie awards show — hosted by sitcom star Wendi McLendon-Covey of The Goldbergs (ABC) — feted outstanding hair and makeup achievements for members of the Local 706 guild across categories ranging from television to motion movies, commercials and music videos.

"You have to have a passion for movies and understand characters, and you have to learn your craft," Kathryn Blondell told Pret-a-Reporter, before stepping onstage to accept her Hair Stylist Lifetime Achievement Award for work on iconic films including Harold and Maude, Cast Away (Tom Hanks' crazy I'm-stuck-on-an-island, sun-bleached dreadlocks, anyone?) and The Great Gatsby, for Leonardo DiCaprio's slicked hair.

Other awards recipients included Oscar-winner Rick Baker, who was presented with a Makeup Lifetime Achievement Award by Animal House director John Landis for his groundbreaking body of work that runs the gamut from Michael Jackson: Thriller to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Planet of the Apes, Hellboy, and Maleficent.

Special-effects-loving director Guillermo del Toro accepted the Distinguished Artisan Achievement Award from longtime friend and collaborator, FX's Sons of Anarchy star Ron Perlman, while actors including Alfre Woodard, Darby Stanchfield, Sarah Paulson and Jamie Brewer (fresh off her New York Fashion Week runway debut) presented awards to winners for their transformative work in movies such as Birdman and Guardians of the Galaxy and TV shows like PBS Masterpiece's Downton Abbey and The Walking Dead on AMC.

"So everyone can enjoy their moment, we asked Kanye not to come," said Paulson laughingly.

Accepting her award in Best Contemporary Hair Styling for ABC's Dancing with the Stars, Mary Guerrero joked, "With all the A-list hairstylists and makeup artists here, Hollywood must be looking a little shabby tonight."

(meta data) TITLE: Gavin Brown: The Heir Apparent | Observer

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/observer

On a brisk but sunny Saturday afternoon, Gavin Brown's art gallery seemed the only hub of activity on the quiet, semi-industrial and more-or-less deserted Greenwich Street on the far West Side of Lower Manhattan.

Despite Chelsea-esque white walls, poured concrete floors and two gallerinas up front, the space had its own offbeat character—from its relatively remote location to the string of puzzling text printed along its bright white facade.

A work by artist Martin Creed, it read: "the whole world + the work = the whole world."

"Gavin Brown's enterprise," as the gallery is dubbed, is in many ways an island, as far as the greater New York art world is concerned.

But, in two weeks, that island is set to double in size.

With his landlord and co-tenant, famed downtown butcher Pat LaFrieda, decamping to New Jersey, Mr. Brown has finally gotten his hands on the back half of the building.

He'll inaugurate it May 1 with a conceptual show by New York art star Jonathan Horowitz, "Go Vegan!", that will hang works in LaFrieda's old butchery and dry-aged coolers.

The gruff and reticent dealer, 46, admitted it's something of a dream come true: "I have been looking at it for a while—since I moved in, really.

I never assumed it would become available but obviously I imagined it."

The expansion will increase the footprint, and the power, of an art dealer already influential, wealthy and under fire both for too-close ties to the New Museum and for operating something (depending upon which side of it you are on) of an exclusionary art-world clique.

But another development in May is also poised to push Mr. Brown more into the spotlight: If that old adage is true—when one door closes, yet another opens wide—then someone stands to gain something in gallerist and Soho impresario Jeffrey Deitch's pending exodus from New York.

And a lot of people are betting the heir apparent is Gavin Brown.

On that Saturday, the casually dressed, heavily bearded dealer was holding court upstairs in the gallery loft where he sometimes presides over cozy, post-opening dinners.

As he talked about his gallery and artists, he was demure and more than a little oblique.

He became enlivened only when speaking about recent projects (such as Jeremy Deller's Conversations About Iraq at the New Museum).

And, he stressed, he is not such a fan of the sort of hierarchical terms and distinctions divvying up the art world today.

"I don't really know what a gallery is—it's just a space for potential imagination."

His role sometimes, he explained to The Observer, is less gallerist than "lobbyist."

Friend and colleague Tom Eccles accused the dealer of having something of an "outward obnoxiousness."

But "he's actually a bit of a soul brother at heart," Mr. Eccles, of Bard College, added.

"He needs to have artists whom he really feels close with, and he will stick with them long term.

With Gavin, everyone grew up together—he and his artists."'

There are vast differences between the two men (and in their respective operations), of course.

If Mr. Deitch, the constant, even visionary purveryor of hip, throws the art world's parties, Mr. Brown runs a private club.

Not exclusive, per se, but (and much like his program) tight-knit, with openings that are intimate, almost uncomfortably so.

Mr. Deitch shows a slew of artists, some of whom he doesn't even formally represent; Mr. Brown has had relationships with many of his for years.

One man is famous in the broader world; Mr. Brown has long flown, by choice, far lower on the radar.

Over the past 15 years, the British "dealer" has built a reputation that is predicated on close working relationships with the artists he represents, some of whom have stuck with him since the very beginning, Peter Doig, and Elizabeth Peyton among them.

(Notably, superstar Chris Ofili, whom Mr. Brown represented during the high-profile "Sensation" controversy nearly a decade ago, has moved to David Zwirner.)

Through the years, Mr. Brown enabled their whims and fancies—be it in his own gallery (Urs Fischer's ground-excavating You, 2007) or in someone else's (Rob Pruitt's freewheeling "Art Awards" at the Guggenheim last year).

He helped many of them earn institutional attention and support; the Museum of Modern Art, for instance, has acquired no less than 16 Doig works and about 30 Peyton drawings and paintings.

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about phlebotomy in the UK:

### What's the difference between Venepuncture, Phlebotomy and a Phlebotomist?

Venepuncture and Phlebotomy are the practice of obtaining blood from a vein, and will often be an additional skill for Healthcare professionals.

A Phlebotomist has the skill that encompasses all aspects of Venepuncture and could include ward, OPD, Glucose Tolerance tests, near patient testing, Paediatrics, cannulation and other specialist skills.

The National Association of Phlebotomist is the professional body for practicing Phlebotomists and is NOT involved in recruitment of Phlebotomists.

The best way to become a Phlebotomist is to apply for a trainee position within a Healthcare setting.

### I'm an overseas Doctor and want to do Phlebotomy.

Most Phlebotomy posts are part time and if you have previous Venepuncture experience it will still be necessary for you to review your skills to ensure you follow UK best practice.

It should be noted that Phlebotomist are not qualified to discuss clinical details with patients, and while working in Phlebotomy its essential you work within the boundaries of the role.

Excellent verbal communication is critical.

### I'm a trained nurse, how do I gain Venepuncture skills?

If you are working within Healthcare and have access to patients and a suitable planned mentor, attending a theory Venepuncture course would be beneficial.

If working within a Trust, approach your Phlebotomy Department who would be your first option for supervised practice.

### I work within Pathology and would like to train in venepuncture?

Initially speak to your line manager possibly during your appraisal and they should know the best route for you to take.

### I'm looking for work should I pay for a course?

Attendance on courses demonstrates interest in the role, but is costly.

Trainee posts will want you to demonstrate excellent communication skills, patient empathy and an understanding of Infection control.

### If I want to do a course – which should I choose?

Venepuncture training that fails to provide supervised practice on live patients has limited value and would not be recognized when applying for posts within the NHS.Good

Personal Standards and Code of practice• Health and Safety – Inc Infection Control• Pre Analytical variables• Equipment – using all types of closed venepuncture systems• Technique – using best practice guidelines• Complications• Practical supervision – with final assessment after 3 months or 50 bloods for OPD• Practical supervision – assessment within the 50 bloods if working in ward areas.

### What is the minimum age for a Phlebotomy Post?

For Paediatric Phlebotomy you should be able to show evidence of at least one years continuous practice, attend a Paediatric Venepuncture course and work along side a experienced Paediatric Phlebotomist to gain a portfolio of evidence through experiential witness statements.

### I'm a Phlebotomist but want to know more.

Attendance to the NAP conferences is an excellent platform for sharing and gaining knowledge.

If you have a group of colleagues and a specific interest then contact Jacqui Hough our Educational Coordinator for some tailor made training.

### Does your NAP membership include Professional Indemnity Insurance?

No; research medical insurance companies to determine the best for your needs.

1,400 pagesOver the course of a career lasting four decades, John W. Campbell was one of the leading forces behind the increasing popularity of science fiction.

As editor of Astounding Science-Fiction (later Analog Science Fact & Fiction) from 1938 until his death in 1971, he is widely credited with launching the genre's Golden Age.

From 1939 to 1943, he also published Unknown (later Unknown Worlds), a magazine specializing in fantasy, but the magazine was forced to end its brief run after thirty-nine issues because of the lack of paper during the war.

Unknown's legacy far exceeds its brief duration; The Encyclopedia of Fantasy says, "Along with Weird Tales, this was one of the most influential of all fantasy magazines, and in content superior to its rival."

The contributors included a number of science-fiction authors from Astounding willing to try their hand at horror-fantasy crossover—writers such as Robert Heinlein, A. E. van Vogt, Theodore Sturgeon, and Jack Williamson.

One of Raymond Chandler's last pulp stories ("The Bronze Door") and Fritz Leiber's debut ("Two Sought Adventure") also appeared in its pages.

The rigorous naturalism favored by Campbell, often using everyday settings and infusing the fiction with droll or dark humor, overturned the traditional boundaries of the genre.

Campbell was a pioneer in another way: he introduced to readers a number of women writers during an era when they were not very commonly found in the pulps.

In 1942, according to Eric Leif Davin in Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction/, Ursula Kroeber was encouraged enough to send Campbell her first science-fiction story—which he rejected, "but no doubt this was only because Ursula K. Le Guin was just twelve years old at the time and the story needed a lot of work."

One author who did pass Campbell's editorial muster was Jane Rice, whose career began at Unknown, which published several of her stories.

This week's selection, "The Refugee," appeared in the very last issue of the magazine.

A playful mix of comedy and the macabre, the story portrays an American woman stuck in France during the war, enduring the discomforts of rationing and the boredom of isolation, when an extraordinarily handsome—and entirely naked—young man appears in her garden.

Rice went on to write for other magazines in the 1950s and 1960s, sometimes as "Allison Rice" (a name used for her collaborations with Ruth Allison).

Just before her death in 2003 at the age of ninety in Greensboro, North Carolina, she gathered her fiction, including her 1995 novelette "The Sixth Dog," in The Idol of the Flies and Other Stories, a 500-copy limited-edition hardcover collection that she unfortunately did not live to see published.

Notes: Milli quotes from two poems during the story.

"The curfew tolls the knell of the parting day" (p. 42) is the opening line of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," by Thomas Gray (1716–71).

"The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas" (p. 47) is from "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes (1880–1958).

* * *The trouble with the war, Milli Cushman thought as she stared sulkily through streaming French windows into her rain-drenched garden, was that it was so frightfully boring.

# Bill Gates No Longer World's Richest Man

For the third time in three years, the world has a new richest man.

Riding surging prices of his various telecom holdings, including giant mobile outfit

, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helu has beaten out Americans Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become the wealthiest person on earth and nab the top spot on the 2010 Forbes list of the World's Billionaires.

Slim's fortune has swelled to an estimated $53.5 billion, up $18.5 billion in 12 months.

Shares of America Movil, of which Slim owns a $23 billion stake, were up 35% in a year.

In Pictures: The 20 Richest People In The World

That massive hoard of scratch puts him ahead of

cofounder Bill Gates, who had held the title of world's richest 14 of the past 15 years.

Gates, now worth $53 billion, is ranked second in the world.

He is up $13 billion from a year ago as shares of Microsoft rose 50% in 12 months.

Gates' holdings in his personal investment vehicle

also soared with the rest of the markets.

Buffett's fortune jumped $10 billion to $47 billion on rising shares of

The Oracle of Omaha shrewdly invested $5 billion in

He also recently acquired railroad giant

In his annual shareholder letter Buffett wrote, "We've put a lot of money to work during the chaos of the last two years.

When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble."

Indeed, last year's wealth wasteland has become a billionaire bonanza.

Most of the richest people on the planet have seen their fortunes soar in the past year.

This year the World's Billionaires have an average net worth of $3.5 billion, up $500 million in 12 months.

The world has 1,011 10-figure titans, up from 793 a year ago but still shy of the record 1,125 in 2008.

Of those billionaires on last year's list, only 12% saw their fortunes decline.

U.S. billionaires still dominate the ranks--but their grip is slipping.

Americans account for 40% of the world's billionaires, down from 45% a year ago.

The U.S. commands 38% of the collective $3.6 trillion net worth of the world's richest, down from 44% a year ago.

Of the 97 new members of the list, only 16% are from the U.S.

The region added 104 moguls and now has just 14 fewer than Europe, thanks to several large public offerings and swelling stock markets.

The new billionaires include American Isaac Perlmutter, who flipped

The Spider-Man mogul netted nearly $900 million in cash and 20 million shares of Disney in the transaction.

Also new to the ranking: 27 billionaires from China, including Li Shufu, whose automaker, Geely, announced plans to buy Swedish brand Volvo from Ford in December.

The deal is expected to close in March 2010.

Finland and Pakistan both welcomed their first billionaires.

For the first time China (including Hong Kong) has the most billionaires outside the U.S. with 89.

Russia has 62 billionaires, 28 of them returnees who had fallen off last year's list amid a meltdown in commodities.

Total returnees to the list this year: 164.

Eleven countries have at least double the number of billionaires they had a year ago, including China, India, Turkey and South Korea.

Thirty members of last year's list fell out of the billionaire's club.

Moguls who couldn't make the cut: Iceland's Thor Bjorgolfsson, Russia's Boris Berezovsky and Saudi Arabia's Maan Al-Sanea.

Another 13 members of last year's list died.

Among the deceased: real estate developer Melvin Simon and glass tycoon William Davidson

Mexican telecommunication mogul Carlos Slim narrowly eclipsed Microsoft's Bill Gates to top the billionaire list for the first time.  Slim saw his estimated worth surge $18.5 billion to $53.5 billion as shares of America Movil rose 35%.   Gates' estimated wealth rose $13 billion to $53 billion, placing him second.

Tempered glass, also known as tempered safety glass, is defined as glass that is heat treated to be stronger and more durable than standard annealed glass -- up to four times stronger!

Another name for this type of glass is "toughened glass".

The thermal process that cures tempered glass also makes it heat-resistant, making it an ideal choice for many DIY projects.

Because of the way tempered glass is heat-treated, it breaks into small, safe pieces rather than large shards.

This is called "dicing" and makes tempered glass safer than standard annealed glass.

For this reason, tempered glass is most often used where standard glass could pose a danger.

At Dulles Glass & Mirror, we have perfected the process for hand-crafting your tempered glass pieces.

The first thing you should know is that your tempered glass is cut to size.

finish your glass to your specifications before we temper it.

After your glass is cut, we put it in our own tempering ovens, so

we know how your glass is treated from start to finish.

After your glass comes out of our tempering

ovens, we finish it with a high-pressure cooling treatment to complete the process.

state that tempered glass must have a surface compression of 10,000 psi or more.

Here are a few fast facts about tempered glass:

You can customize the size, shape, thickness, and edge types of your glass.

You can also choose bronze or gray tempered glass when you are customizing your glass.

You can choose to get your glass with or without a tempering stamp (a stamp that authenticates that your glass was tempered.

Tempered glass is suitable for most uses around your home.

Here are some places our customers have used tempered glass:

Tempered glass must be cut and polished first, before tempering.

If it was tempered first, we would not be able to cut and polish it to your specification.

That's why we've invested in our own state-of-the-art glass fabrication facilities, including large tempering furnaces where we temper your glass after we cut and polish it.

This ensures that we can manage the quality control of your glass order, as well as expedite your delivery time.

When you order tempered glass from Dulles Glass & Mirror, you can be assured that your order will arrive quickly -- within 5-7 business days -- and we guarantee that it will arrive intact!

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Cambridge in 1391.

# PAYN, John I, of Swaffham Prior, Cambs.

Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1386-1421, ed. J.S. Roskell, L. Clark, C. Rawcliffe., 1993Available from Boydell and Brewer

1386-1421 Members 1386-1421 Constituencies 1386-1421 Parliaments 1386-1421 Surveys

Commr. of inquiry, Cambs. May 1380 (homicide), Sept. 1381 (trespass and robbery by insurgents), Feb. 1391 (repairs to the great bridge at Cambridge), May 1392 (waste on crown lands); array, Cambridge June 1380; to put down rebellion, Cambs.

Dec. 1381, Mar., Dec. 1382; of oyer and terminer Oct. 1387.

J.p. Cambridge 26 May-Sept. 1380, Cambs. 8 Feb. 1384-c.1385.

Payn probably came from Thriplow, some seven miles south of Cambridge, where before 1368 he and his brother Walter owned a messuage.

Although he never became involved in the affairs of the shire town as a burgess proper, he established his practice as a lawyer there, and invested in local property.

Thus, in the 1370s he was associated in the purchase of two messuages and some 24 acres of land in the fields of Cambridge and Barnwell, although in 1380 he relinquished possession of a plot elsewhere in the town.

As his career developed, so did he become a landowner with wider interests in the shire, centred on Swaffham Prior, a few miles to the east.

This process began in 1384 when he and his wife acquired a number of holdings including several acres of farmland, to which he added, seven years later (shortly before his only return to Parliament), all the lands and services previously held by Richard Skylman of Quy, by an agreement which involved his entering into recognizances with Skylman in the sum of £40.

The culmination of Payn's material prosperity was reached in 1393 with his purchase of the manor in Swaffham Prior which had once belonged to Alan Fitzjohn.1

It was doubtless Payn's earnings as a man of law which enabled him to become a country landowner.

He had finished his training by May 1371, for he then undertook at the Exchequer to be a mainpernor for the prior and convent of Ely touching their farm of extensive royal escheats in Cambridgeshire.

This resulted several years later in demands being made on Payn himself for the issues of certain of the premises, although the Exchequer was ordered in 1387 to cease its harrassment for the time being, pending a judicial decision as to whether the property pertained to the Crown or to the priory.

In the meantime, Payn had built up a practice as an attorney at the assizes held at Cambridge, and had made himself useful on behalf of clients from Cambridgeshire by completing legal formalities in the court of common pleas at Westminster with regard to their landed estates.2

On occasion, Payn was asked to act as a trustee of such property: in 1380 he did so at the nomination of John Wombe of Hempstead (Essex); in 1387 he was party to the conveyance of holdings at Swaffham Bulbeck, possibly on behalf of John Cotton*, the former mayor of Cambridge; and early in 1391 he was made a trustee of land in Chesterton.3

He often witnessed property transactions in this and neighbouring counties.4

Payn may have owed his relatively frequent appointment to royal commissions in Cambridgeshire and especially his brief spell as a j.p. to qualities of trustworthiness and reliability.

His experience of such employment, which took him to Cambridge early in 1391 to supervise repairs to the great bridge, no doubt commended him to the burgesses as a man capable of representing them in Parliament that winter.

John Payn (fl. 1391) of Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire, was an English politician, lawyer and landowner.

# ISP data deal with former 'spyware' boss triggers privacy fears

## Don't worry, 'that was a long time ago'

More than ten million customers of the UK's three largest ISPs will have their browsing habits sold to a company with roots in the murky world of spyware.

The deal has sparked fears over privacy, but today Phorm, the firm behind the new advertising system, strongly rejected such concerns.

BT, Virgin Media, and Carphone Warehouse have agreed to feed data on their subscribers' web activities to Phorm.

Data will be fed into the Open Internet Exchange, Phorm's advertising network, where advertisers will pay to target interest groups.

Frequent visits to the BBC's Top Gear site might result in being served up more car ads, for example.

In exchange, the ISP trio will get a cut of new revenue.

Analysts estimate BT's cut will be £85m in 2010.

There's no word on when BT, Virgin Media and Carphone Warehouse will begin sending customers' browsing information; but now that the broadband business is a high-volume, low-margin business, it's no surprise the providers are hungry for extra cash flow.

Their choice of partner is ringing alarm bells in some quarters, however.

Phorm is run by Kent Ertegrul, a serial entrepreneur whose past ventures include selling joyrides on Russian fighter jets.

Previously, his most notable foray online was as the founder of PeopleOnPage, an ad network that operated earlier in the decade and which was blacklisted as spyware by the likes of Symantec and F-Secure.

Security firm F-Secure describes PeopleOnPage's software here.

It says: "The spyware collects a user's browsing habits and system information and sends it back to the ContextPlus servers.

Targeted pop-up advertisements are displayed while browsing the web.

"Each installation is given a unique ID, which is sent to the ContextPlus server to request a pop-up advertisement."

ContextPlus was the rootkit that PeopleOnPage used to harvest data and hide its presence.

The similarities between this business model and that which will be kicked off by Phorm in the coming months are striking.

Phorm, under its previous name 121Media, floated on AIM in December 2004.

The accompanying announcement (pdf) explained how it envisaged its relationship with ISPs and their customers:

The company's business model revolves around distributing its PageSense technology to as many users as possible and showing users as many advertisements as possible, without causing negative reaction, to maximise response.

121Media currently acquires most of its users by integrating its PageSense Desktop technology with consumer software products known as distribution applications, which are offered free of charge to internet users in exchange for their permission to display advertisements.

PageSense Javascript can be embedded by a variety of partners, such as Internet Service Providers, serving pages to those connecting to the internet through them.

The difference between 121Media/Phorm and PeopleOnPage is that the newer company buys its targets direct from ISPs, rather than persuading people to download spyware.

It aims to make its money strictly from legit advertisers and publishers, avoiding the sort of operators that gave pop-up advertising such a bad name in the early noughties.

These often lead to an evolutionary arms race between prey and predator, resulting in anti-predator adaptations.

(meta data) TITLE: Predator-Prey Relationships — New England Complex Systems Institute

This lizard (above), camouflages by blending with the lichen on rocks, while the tortoise (below), has a hard shell to deter would-be predators.

Keen senses are an important adaptation for many organisms, both predators and prey.

A predator is an organism that eats another organism.

The prey is the organism which the predator eats.

Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.

The words "predator" and "prey" are almost always used to mean only animals that eat animals, but the same concept also applies to plants: Bear and berry, rabbit and lettuce, grasshopper and leaf.

The prey is part of the predator's environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey's poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc.

Likewise, the predator is part of the prey's environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns, poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc.

In this snowy environment, the polar bear is white to avoid being noticed as it approaches the seal, and the seal pup is white to avoid being noticed by the bear.

The fastest lions are able to catch food and eat, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster lions make up more and more of the population.

The fastest zebras are able to escape the lions, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster zebras make up more and more of the population.

An important thing to realize is that as both organisms become faster to adapt to their environments, their relationship remains the same: because they are both getting faster, neither gets faster in relation to the other.

This is true in all predator-prey relationships.

Another example of predator-prey evolution is that of the Galapagos tortoise.

Galapagos tortoises eat the branches of the cactus plants that grow on the Galapagos islands.

On one of the islands, where long-necked tortoises live, the branches are higher off the ground.

On another island, where short-necked tortoises live, the branches are lower down.

The cactuses, the prey, may have evolved high branches so that the tortoises, the predators, can't reach them.

(Note, however, not just in this case but in any case of co-evolution and evolution, that there is always more than one cause that forces an organism to adapt, and though it is likely that the higher branches are to avoid the tortoises, it is also possible that it was a different cause, such as the sun, the ocean, or a different organism.)

Predators and prey interact and coevolve: the predator to catch the prey more effectively, the prey to escape. The coevolution of the two mutually imposes selective pressures.

Trio to celebrate June 28th release of BLUE ROSES at the

Breakout Act Supporting Carrie Underwood's

Today Wheelhouse Records' RUNAWAY JUNE triumphs as their smash sing-along "Buy My Own Drinks" becomes the first Top 20 radio single by a Country female band or trio in 14 years.

There has not been an all-female group since 2005, when the Dixie Chicks and SHeDAISY regularly topped the charts, to have a song go Top 20 on Country radio.

Adding to the merriment, the trio was invited by the Grand Ole Opry to celebrate their album launch day, June 28th with a special performance and signing party.

This has been an amazing year, being on tour with Carrie Underwood – and now to having our first Top 20 song and to be the first female group to achieve this in nearly 15 years is insane," said Hannah Mulholland of Runaway June.

"Thank you to our amazing team, and Country radio.

We can't wait to get our album out later this month and share our music with fans out on the road this summer."

Titled "Blue Roses," the trio's first full-length project will be released appropriately in the month of June on June 28th.

Produced by Dann Huff and Ross Copperman, the album is available now for pre-order digitally and with each purchase, fans will instantly receive five tracks: "Head Over Heels", "Got Me Where I Want You", "Fast As You", "I Am Too", and the "runaway hit," (Music Row Magazine), written by all three Runaway June members along with Hillary Lindsey and Josh Kear, "Buy My Own Drinks" which earned the trio a CMT Music Award nomination for Breakout Video of the Year.

Since Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne formed four years ago, Runaway June has become the first all-female trio in more than a decade to earn three Top 40 hits.

They have also become an ACM and CMT nominated band, been named CMT's "Next Women of Country," scored major tours and opening slots with some of the biggest names and icons in music (including Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood), performed on national TV including several award shows and TODAY, and received high praise and raves from dozens of critical outlets—with People.com calling them "a band that's well on its way to Country music superstardom."

Runaway June's Grand Ole Opry event will be the ladies' first appearance once the album is available and will sign albums after the show.

After wrapping a hectic CMA Fest week which included performances on the CMT Music Awards, the Chevy Riverfront Stage, the CMA Close Up Stage in Fan Fair X, the Firestone Country Roads Stage at Ascend Amphitheater and Nissan Stadium, Runaway June will return to the road through the fall, supporting seven-time Grammy winner and Pollstar's three-time top female country touring artist Carrie Underwood on the Cry Pretty Tour 360.

Sponsored by CALIA, the tour kicked off on May 1 in Greensboro, NC, and will play 55 arenas across the U.S. and Canada promoted by AEG Presents.

Tickets for the concerts can be purchased here.

"Buy My Own Drinks" debuted on the "Billboard" Country Airplay chart at number 59 on the chart dated October 6, 2018.


Purity Ring announced the album's release on April 23, 2012, along with the album's first promotional single "Obedear".

: 4AD Announces Purity Ring Album, Shrines

Released on July 24th, 2012, Shrines is the debut album by Purity Ring, a Halifax/Montreal-based duo comprised of Corin Roddick and Megan James.

Purity Ring make lullabies for the club, drawing equally from airy 90s R&B, lush dream pop, and the powerful, bone-rattling immediacy of modern hip hop.

Megan's remarkable voice is at once ecstatic and ethereal, soaring joyfully through Corin's carefully chopped beats, trembling synths, and skewed vocal samples.

Despite the band's young age (Corin is 21, Megan 24) and short gestation (they formed in late 2010), Purity Ring have delivered one of 2012's most assured – and anticipated – debuts with Shrines.

Indeed, Shrines feels like anything but a first record - its vocal hooks are inescapable, its lush production futuristic and sophisticated but also as pristine as anything on pop radio.

The record's eleven tracks trace a unique aesthetic universe that is carefully crafted and fully realized - deftly walking the lines between trap-rap exhilaration and otherworldly rapture, pleasure-center pop and diaristic emotion, childlike dread and total self-possession.

Purity Ring's is a universe that invites exploration and demands revisiting.

Formed: 2010 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

The chilly electro-pop project of Corin Roddick and Megan James, Purity Ring began when the two were in Canadian indie rock act Gobble Gobble (which later became Born Gold).

While the band was on tour, Roddick and James grew increasingly inspired by the sounds of contemporary R&B and wanted to make music reflecting that.

Their first song, "Ungirthed," arrived in January 2011 to critical acclaim, and Purity Ring eventually signed with 4AD Records.

Steven Spielberg's attempt at screwball comedy collapses under a glut of ideas, confusing an unwieldy scope for a commensurate amount of guffaws.

It's December of 1941, and the people of California are in varying states of unease, ranging from a sincere desire to defend the country to virtual blind panic in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Thus begin several story threads that comprise the "plot" of this strange period comedy, a sort of satirical disaster movie, from Steven Spielberg.

The stories and story threads involve lusty young men, officers (Tim Matheson) and civilians (Bobby Di Cicco) alike, eager to bed the young ladies of their dreams; Wild Bill Kelso, a nutty fighter pilot (John Belushi) following what he thinks is a squadron of Japanese fighters along the California coast; a well-meaning but clumsy tank crew (including John Candy) led by straight-arrow, by-the-book Sgt. Tree (Dan Aykroyd), who doesn't recognize the thug (Treat Williams) in his command; and homeowner Ward Douglas (Ned Beatty), who is eager to do his part for the nation's defense and, despite the misgivings of his wife (Lorraine Gary), doesn't mind his front yard overlooking the ocean being chosen to house a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun.

There is also a pair of grotesquely inept airplane spotters (Murray Hamilton, Eddie Deezen) who are doing their job from atop a ferris wheel at a beachfront amusement park; a paranoid army colonel (Warren Oates) positive that the Japanese are infiltrating from the hills; a big dance being held on behalf of servicemen, being attended by a lusty young woman of size (Wendie Jo Sperber) eager to land a man in uniform; and General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stillwell (Robert Stack), in charge of the defense of the West Coast, who can't seem to get anyone to listen to him when he says to keep calm.

And, oh yes, there's also a real Japanese submarine that has gotten all the way to the California coast under the command of its captain (Toshiro Mifune) and a German officer observer (Christopher Lee), only to find itself without a working compass or usable maps.

Its captain won't leave until the sub has attacked a militarily significant, honorable target, and the only one that anyone aboard ship knows of in California is Hollywood.

By New Year's Eve, all of these characters are going to cross paths, directly or once-removed, in a comedy of errors and destruction strongly reminiscent of the finale to National Lampoon's Animal House (as well as several disaster movies from the same studio), but on a much larger and more impressive scale.

Japanese Community Protests "Geisha" Girls

It may possibly be that Mr. Spielberg has chosen gigantic size and unlimited quantity as his comedy method in the awareness that he has no gift whatsoever for small-scale comic conceits.

Led by some of the biggest names in comedy at the time, 1941 is Steven Spielberg's most underrated film of all time.

This wannabe satire of WWII is the first and one of the few commercial flops in Spielberg's otherwise distinguished and popular output.

I don't apologize to you, or my fellow critics, or even Spielberg for that.

Over the top Spielberg comedy, most noted for effects and Belushi.

After a gigantic Diplodocus sized dump of success with his first two big mainstream movies, one about a large fish and the other about some annoying little brat that gets kidnapped by aliens in ice-cream cone shaped UFO's, the one and only Spielberg had complete and utter control over everything.

Strangely enough, much like his best mate George Lucas, this power went straight to his head and he came up with this odd little feature.

Still to this day I'm not really sure what his intentions were or whether I actually like this or not, it certainly doesn't seem or feel like a Spielberg movie, not in the slightest.

The plot is an odd mixture really, set in 1941, it basically sees a Japanese submarine led by Toshiro Mifune and Christopher Lee (a Nazi), on course to try and hit the western coast again just after the recent Pearl Harbour attack.

The US is on high alert after the bombing, paranoia is running amok but there is a real risk of another attack.

During this time we follow multiple storylines involving various characters within the US military that eventually all combine at the finale.

You have the unhinged John Belushi as Wild Bill Kelso who flies around in his Curtiss P-40 fighter and...errr little else really.

I kinda get the impression Spielberg mainly stuck him in because he was a big star at the time and was virtually a package along with Dan Aykroyd.

Meanwhile, a tank crew consisting of Aykroyd, John Candy, Mickey Rourke, Treat Williams and Frank McRae are on their way to a military base or just on patrol due to the recent attacks (not really sure), and getting into all sorts of trouble.

Sitarski (Williams) is after a young girl who is also the target of the young whippersnapper Wally (Bobby Di Cicco), both of whom are trying to take her to a local dance contest.

Major General Stilwell (Robert Stack) is trying to control everything from the general public to his inane troops in the midst of this supposed pending doom from the far east.

There is also a love story going on between Tim Matheson and Nancy Allen that flits in and out of the other sub plots, Slim Pickens is kidnapped by the Japs and interrogated on-board their sub, Ned Beatty and Lorraine Gary get an anti-aircraft gun stuck in their backyard, and Eddie Deezen is stuck atop a ferris wheel overlooking the coast for the pending Jap invasion.

In short, the entire thing is a horrific muddle of plots that intertwine with each other, and basically they all focus on one thing, the Japs invading the west coast and everyone going crazy with paranoia over it.

The only twist is, the Japs actually are and do invade the west coast confirming everyone's paranoia, but it then leads to even more batshit happenings as everyone tries to combat them.

Apparently this mishmash of a plot was actually based on some real events from the era.

This probably explains why its such a mess, because they based the movie on several different events.

The first being the supposed and infamous 'Battle of LA' whereby LA apparently came under attack from a mysterious object in the sky.

No one knew what it was, but they shelled it anyway, because hey...Merica!

Other events were the bombing of an oil refinery in California, an incident where an anti-aircraft gun was indeed stuck in someone's backyard, and something called the zoot suit riots.

Basically lots of migrants flooded the State from Mexico to help the war effort, as did lots of marines and sailors, aaand they all ended up fighting each other.

Twas called the zoot suit riots because at the time zoot suits were trendy and many young Mexicans (and others) wore them.

In all honesty this movie is such a mess, you really have no clue what's going on and why half the time.

Sure there are young blokes in uniform fighting over dames and other crazy blokes in uniform doing silly things, but that's it.

The whole thing is like one long long large action sequence, or riot, it doesn't stop!

The plot sinks below this constant barrage of high octane hijinks including a lot of fisticuffs, big dance routines, cockpit tomfoolery, sloppy romance, mass destruction of everything, lots of gunfire and loads of screaming into the camera.

There is no way in hell you'd think this was a Steven Spielberg movie, not a chance, its like some cheesy, cheeky, high school flick filled with jocks and nerds in a constant raucous.

Now even though most of what you see is an absolute headache of noise, it all looks terrific.

Overall it may not come across like your typical Spielberg movie, but in terms of visuals and special effects, it definitely has that classic old Spielbergian (dare I even say...Lucas-esque) vibe going on.

All the period sets, props and costumes are wonderfully detailed and highly authentic looking.

You have all the classic cars, planes, machinery, electronics and weapons spot on from the era too, everything from the radios, the local diners, to the decorations in the dance hall, it all looks gorgeous, far too good for such a throw away flick like this really.

I must also give much kudos to the model work on display towards the finale, a full scale town mockup I think, also included were a lot of decent bluescreen shots (for the time), solid interior (exterior) plane and sub sets and I think some matte painting work going in places.

The full gamut of special effects wizardry going on which you come to expect from these old action movies, but they still hold up very well.

The cast is clearly another big key element and hook with this movie, its like a who's who of the time.

You have some epic actors like Lee, Beatty and Mifune alongside crazy comedians like Candy, Aykroyd and Belushi.

Much like the movie its a real mishmash of talents that don't really gel together in my opinion.

Mifune is clearly taking his role as a Jap sub commander pretty seriously, Lee is also coming across as an eerie Nazi officer (kinda like 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'), but then Spielberg sticks Slim Pickens in a scene with them.

Its also evident that the studio wanted more of Aykroyd and Belushi because of their SNL fame at the time, unfortunately there isn't really anything for them to do and it feels like they are just crowbarred in for exactly that reason...their SNL fame.

Seriously, Belushi doesn't need to be here at all, his character is good for like...one visual gag.

Most everyone else is young and upcoming admittedly so it doesn't feel like overcrowding in that (big name) sense, but there is clearly way too much going on, too many characters jockeying for space, too many little plots going on.

Also far too many silly cameos that just weren't needed, it felt like some kind of big variety show or Spielberg giving all his mates sweet little plum bit parts for no real reason.

In the end this movie really feels like a misfire, I'm honestly not sure if Spielberg really knew what he wanted to do here.

Its suppose to be a zany comedy but its not really very funny at any point, although its zany enough.

Plenty of action and pep as everything zips along but its so disjointed and uneven, I'm still not really sure what Wild Bill Kelso was supposed to be doing, or why he's even in the film, and apparently Christopher Lee's Nazi got killed by being thrown into the sea?

One issue that springs to mind is the fact everything this movie is based on (and sends -up) is the history of California, and virtually unknown to most.

Sure you could say that about many things but the events this movie are based around feel even more minor than usual, as though its a big in-joke for the people of California (those in the know).

Alas many probably haven't got a clue so it just comes across as a daft, meaningless screwball comedy that just isn't funny.

I guess one last plus point now would be the nostalgic factor, looking back at this amazing ensemble cast, won't see anything like that again.

Wildly incomprehensible, and incredibly downright out of this world, 1941 has some bold satire intentions coming from the likes of Steven Spielberg.

But sadly, the comedy aspect of the film is pushed way too far it almost offsets the entire narrative, that along with too many characters the film focuses on.

It may as well be the biggest career low point for Spielberg, nonetheless it has an excellent cast and can be enjoyed much more when viewers intentionally do not take this film seriously as it may as well doesn't take into any of its scenarios seriously.

Steven Spielberg's star was already assured by the time he made this, this petite monster, garish, crude and loud, hobbled together with elements from other films (like some of the cast of Animal House, some of the madcap of The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, an altered version of Benny Goodman's Sing, Sing, Sing, that wacked out cowboy pilot from Doctor Strangelove, etc., etc., etc.), all in an hope to achieve "zany!" ... which he misses by that much.

Steven Spielberg's 1941 is an underrated comedy that is far better than what most people have said about it.

The film has its weak points of course, but nonetheless is an amusing and entertaining picture that is sure to amuse anyone looking for a good little flick to watch.

1941 is a good film, one that has enough good material to make it worth seeing.

Spielberg has made better films of course, but this is an enjoyable, underrated film from him.

I found that there were quite a few comical moments on-screen, even if it wasn't hilarious, it was still nonetheless a funny, entertaining and watchable film that shouldn't be passed up.

Although funny, at times, the material could have been better in order to make it a better, more memorable film.

Enjoyable for what it is, almost to the point where the gags try to outdo the audacious scope of the film.

In turn, some of the comic bits do suffer, and it's not as funny as it should be.

I laughed quite a few times, but I really expected something more out of the film.

1941 boasts a great cast of talented actors that elevate the sometimes lacking material and Spielberg's direction more than makes up for what's missing in the movie.

If you're looking for a great comedy, you won't find it here.

The film, like I said, provides laughs, but leaves a lot to be desired after the credits start to roll.

Worth seeing if you love Spielberg, just don't expect a highly memorable comedy.

1941 is fun, but flawed, but in the end, it's not as bad as what everyone has said about it.

There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.
