Leonardo DiCaprio has portrayed a kaleidoscopic array of characters – from Howard Hughes to Jay Gatsby to Wolf of Wall Street’s profligate Jordan Belfort – but the role of the Hugh Glass in “The Revenant” was an entirely new challenge, taking the actor into borderlands that few in our modern world have experienced. It is DiCaprio’s most intensely physical role and at the same time, an almost wordlessly raw performance.

Tom Hardy is Leonardo Dicaprio's dark mirror in “THE REVENANT”
For kids in a town called Marilao, a Bag of Hope springs eternal
For
some parents, choosing a school is a no-brainer – usually, the one
closest to home is the one. But for two women in Marilao, Bulacan,
picking a school for their young ones turned out to be a rather
complicated decision.
No notebooks, no school?
Lola Rosalinda Duldulao says her grandson, Lawrence, along with his four other siblings, were put under her care after their parents went on separate ways. As their guardian and grandmother, she says she wants the best school she could afford for her grandchildren, but at the moment, her income as laundry washer is not enough to buy notebooks and pens for them. Lawrence, 11, is one of the top students in fifth grade, but he almost missed his chance to enroll because money was tight.

How Storage Designed for Surveillance Improves the Entire System
When the first event music, “Video Killed the Radio Star” premiered on MTV in 1981, it started a video revolution. A lot has changed since then, but video’s relevance in our culture, has increased, and our lives and security have come to depend on it. Market research firm IHS estimates that one surveillance camera has been installed for every eight people (about 40M) in the U.S. alone. Stats from 2014 certainly back that up – according to the IHS Video Surveillance Intelligence Service Market Insight report from August 2015, the U.S. was ranked as the second largest market for video surveillance equipment, worth $2.8 billion dollars.
With our obsession over video and corresponding camera capabilities such as HD and 4K, it’s easy to miss an equally crucial component that can make or break the effectiveness of an entire surveillance system: storage. Unfortunately, many surveillance professionals are using the wrong drive. Rather than being designed for continuous capture of HD or FHD video from multiple cameras, a drive that is not optimized for surveillance systems can drop frames, or even consume more power, generating more heat to create a major reliability issue. This could drastically reduce the life of a drive, adversely affecting the read and write operations in a surveillance system. These solution may cost the customer less upfront, but eventually could affect your business when performance, reliability and even your reputation.

Messi is not here for the records, he's here to create
adidas celebrates Leo Messi’s fifth Ballon d’Or win with new campaign: “I’m here to create”
Leo Messi has cemented his place as a phenomenon in football with a fifth Ballon d’Or. The award is the greatest acknowledgement of individual success in football. But, in a new film released by adidas, it’s not the records broken, the trophies won, or the accolades which matter most. Messi is here to create.
The film is the first part of adidas’ new campaign “I’m here to create”, heroing the athletes for whom creativity is their most powerful weapon. It is their unwavering sense of self belief that allows them to create the unexpected, the skills that have never been seen before, but that millions will try to copy. For Messi, that attitude drives him for every goal, every game, and every record that he breaks. Messi is here to create, and adidas is the brand of sport for the creator.
