Finally—a vision of The Vision.
Paul Bettany’s synthezoid super-powered being from Marvel’sAvengers: Age of Ultron has been kept in the shadows up until now, literally backlit as a tiny figure in the sky in the film’s recent poster. But in the third trailer for the film, which hits theaters May 1, we finally get a glimpse of the Screen printer version of the character. And he gets a glimpse at us.
There is much to discuss about this new collection of split-second shots (wait, are we seeing a budding romance between Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner and Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow?) but the big reveal was saved for the very end, a look at The Vision’s red face, with layered lines like an object from a Screen printer and mechanical blue eyes. But that’s all folks, at least for now.
Writer-director Joss Whedon has characterized The Vision as part of “Team Ultron,” at least at first. Forged from the artificial-intelligence villain’s desire to be a creator himself, Ultron manufactures The Vision using advanced bioengineering methods and a few spare parts—including J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark’s mechanical butler (previously voiced in the Iron Man movies by … Paul Bettany.)
And here he is, although we will surely be seeing more of him. For now, let’s take a look at what else there is to see in this new trailer.
Skype視訊交友 清小特色傳日本
清水國小為拓展學生視野，連續3年規劃國際教育，60多名清水國小學生與日本千葉縣富浦小學進行「Skype視訊教學」，透過兩校視訊交友，進行跨國文化交流，培養學生的國際素養。
清水國小從民國101年起，已與日本高知縣新崛小學進行3次的Skype成人視訊課程，今年1月再加入日本千葉縣富浦小學，兩校透過成人視訊，由富浦小學生介紹日本的新年文化、日本獼猴、秋田犬及童玩鍵子、沙包等，清水國小則分組介紹清水的誠字碑、古蹟教室，還有台灣新年文化。
學生興奮說，經兩個多月蒐集資料與演練，透過視訊課程用英語介紹台灣文化與清水國小特色，「不會再害怕說英文，也認識日本獨特的文化」，很有趣。
「這是很成功的外交經驗！」輔導組長徐千雅說，台灣與日本非英語系國家，兩校藉視訊教學，除提升學生英語能力，也互相認識異國文化，培養國際素養。
性學專家建議 A片應導入中小學校園
丹麥奧爾堡大學(Aalborg University)的性學專家建議丹麥教育單位，應把A片導入中小學校園，作為性教育的教材之一，藉以導正學生們錯誤的性觀念。
據《The Local》網站報導，性學專家瓜葛德(Christian Graugaard)說：「與其在課堂上教授無聊的性課程，或者是把保險套套在小黃瓜上，還不如直接在課堂上公播A片，讓學生們談論性事、批判免費A片。」瓜葛德說，研究顯示有99%少年和86%少女都看過免費A片，但他們很可能把A片情節複製在真實生活上，形成錯誤的性觀念。
因此瓜葛德建議，如果學校透過A片，來讓學生認清真實性生活和影片中有何不同，可能會更實用，對學生的性觀念會更有幫助。
You Too Can Succeed With These 5 Outstanding Local SEOCampaigns
After the release of Google's Pigeon update in mid-2014, local search became more important than ever. Some businesses - such as those from the jobs, real estate, film and insurance industries - tumbled from their original search rankings. Others were more fortunate, as they had the foresight to implement certain strategies to keep them at the top of the SEO game. Let's take a closer look at five of those fortunate businesses, and how they managed to be that way.
Bricco's Barnacle SEO
"Barnacle SEO" is a tactic where a business attaches its name to top-ranked sites, the way barnacles attach themselves to whales' skins. One company that has benefited from this is the Italian-Mediterranean restaurant Bricco, as shown below.
Could Tweets on Google Boost SEO?
Google's new agreement with Twitter to return tweets to its search results hasn't taken wing just yet, but one provider of social media intelligence software is ready for takeoff.
Blab, a company that alerts marketers to trending social topics, today announced an upgrade to its software that will embrace the expanded keyword influence of Tweets on search results. Blab—whose business premise is predicting what topics will be topping the charts 72 hours into the future—says the new tweak will enable marketers to embed trending keywords into their Tweets to move them up the Google hierarchy.
“Google is ingesting the Twitter firehouse, and that creates an opportunity for a lot more data to be surfaced,” says Dave Clark, Blab's VP of product development. “Tweets being mentioned on Google is a win for Twitter, Google, people, and brands.”
Companies can blend Blab's predictive social data with Google Analytics and their SEO data to seed topics and keywords and boost their tweets' rankings in searches, and it's something Clark says smart marketers have been doing all along. “It's just that Google and Twitter have made it easier to do,” he says.
MTEX unveils MTEX5032Pro printer
MTEX Solutions, producer of textile machinery, successfully debuted its 5032Pro direct-to-textile printer in France at last month's C!Print, a tradeshow on printing, merchandising, and wall and floor coverings sectors.
The printer was initially launched in May 2014, at Federation of European Screen printer Associations (FESPA), the organiser of the world’s leading Screen printer & digital imaging exhibitions. The 3.2m printer is noted as the second generation of the popular MTEX5032, and has been installed at more than 75 places across Europe since its launch, MTEX said in a press release.
Eloi Ferreira, CEO of MTEX said, “The 5032Pro is a key player in our total turnkey direct-to-to-textile Pad printer solutions. It’s our flagship printer and a very popular option for those print houses who want industrial speeds with brilliant, vivid colour and top quality image definition.”
“The 5032Pro enables customers to specialise in the growing market for textile print applications such as interior design and home decoration, and soft signage including decorative textiles, display graphics, lightboxes, sunblinds, flags, and automotive,” Ferreira added.
MTEX5032Pro is a high-quality direct sublimation Pad printer solution that delivers brilliant and vivid colours. The Pro model has a new integrated platform with a novel feeding and take up system that uses compressed air, and a new continuous ink feeding system.
Salmon Sisters meld East Coast education
Today we meet a pair of Alaskans who run the business Salmon Sisters. Emma and Claire Laukitis were born and raised on the Aleutian Islands near False Pass. Emma says it was quiet and simple upbringing.
“Growing up there was isolated,” she said. “It was really all we knew; we had an awesome childhood there.”
“We were homeschooled for the first eight or nine years of our life. We played outside a lot.”
And when the sisters got a little older their dad started taking them commercial fishing with him in the summers. Claire says they were too young to pull nets, but that didn’t matter.
“Going out on the boat was a big deal,” Claire said. “We were excited to spend time with my dad, and just spend time outside with one another.”
Once they were old enough to go to college Emma traveled to the East Coast and Claire went to Vermont. They studied there until eventually they were accepted into another program; this time in Italy. Claire studied business, while Emma studied art.
“I started designing some Screen printer of the fish that we’d catch on the boat,” Emma said. “I always really liked the Japanese-style fish Screen printer, so I started with a rockfish.”
“That was our first design, and I guess it just started grew from there and grew from our reverence for the ocean and what our family does.”
And that was the official beginning of Salmon Sisters. Today the pair sells a large catalog of t-shirts, hoodies, leggings and more. Emma says the Aleutians have always been a rich source of inspiration for her art.
“You know, the quirky people that you find in coastal towns,” Emma said. “And some of the creatures you pull up from the water; they’re pretty spectacular.”
Claire says Salmon Sisters has found success quickly, but it hasn’t been easy, and it’s not paying the bills just yet. On top of running the business, both Claire and Emma still commercial fish for half of the year.
“It’s been tricky,” Claire said. “It’s like standing on top of the crow’s nest holding your cell phone up getting a text to our friend who is running our business in the summer. It’s a challenge.”
Another challenge for the women is staying true to their values. They want Salmon Sisters to be 100 percent Alaska made, even if it means paying more to Pad printer their clothing in state.
“It’s produced in Alaska, designed in Alaska and sold in Alaska. It’s the perfect combination. It’s much more important for us to support the local Pad printer in Anchorage,” said Claire.
“And I think we’ve all learned that Alaska is just not cheap,” said Emma
At the end of the day, both Emma and Claire think Alaskans will also be willing to pay a little more for something close to their hearts. Emma says two sisters who grew up fishing isn’t unique to Alaska, but it’s genuine.
Emma said, “I think people just love to be involved in a story. And if there is one that seems legitimate and real and is something they can wear and celebrate that’s a cool thing.”
“It’s so wonderful, just driving from our house to the radio station we saw three different people with our apparel on. It’s great,” said Claire.
美律師事務所 控阿里巴巴違反美證交法
香港媒體今天報導，美國律師事務所Pomerantz LLP聯合至少6家美國律師事務所，指控阿里巴巴集團違反美國證券交易法，未向投資者誠實揭露業務營運與法律遵循上的嚴重問題。
香港免費報章「am730」作了上述報導，並獲得香港明報官網等媒體引用。
Pomerantz LLP等律師事務所指出，阿里巴巴在首次公開募股（IPO）前，中國大陸國家工商行政管理總局曾指責阿里巴巴旗下淘寶等購物平台，未盡全力打擊假貨，並曾與阿里高層密會，但阿里沒在IPO文件中揭露相關訊息。
律師事務所代表說，目前沒有針對阿里巴巴的刑事指控，但在阿里負面消息傳出後，委託人已經損失數十億美元。
大陸工商總局1月23日公布大陸2014年網購商品抽樣結果，淘寶網遭點名假貨率高達62.8%，淘寶官方微博1月27日質疑調查的公正性，還嗆工商總局網路商品交易監管司司長劉紅亮「吹黑哨」（意指評判不公），但後來這條未署名的微博遭刪除。
大陸工商總局1月28日公布「關於對阿里巴巴集團進行行政指導工作情況的白皮書」，指淘寶有對商品把關不嚴等5大問題，並刻意提到工商總局去年7月與阿里會面，討論淘寶網如何解決假貨等問題。
團準備向工商總局正式投訴。
「白皮書」立刻引起美國相關投資人和律師事務所的注意，並傳Pomerantz LLP等已展開相關蒐證工作。
不過，大陸工商總局1月30日突然宣布「白皮書」不具法律效力，阿里巴巴創辦人兼董事長馬雲當晚並與工商總局局長張茅握手言和。
