Col. Frazlier Pope, chief, increasing some theater deployments to 15-month Program last week, increasing the R&R time provided R&R leave branch. “It clearly demonstrates DoD’s tours. Any servicemember currently deployed on a to servicemembers currently serving 15-month recognition of the increased sacrifice tens of thousands 15-month tour is eligible, however only the Army has deployments of 15 months duration. The amended policy, which became effective July 13 applies to military personnel only and is not retroactive. Only service- members who took leave on or after July 13 may take 18 days of leave. “Servicemembers who departed for R&R leave prior to July 13th of this year are not eligible for additional chargeable R&R leave days. Regrettably, a line must be drawn at some point,” said Pope. “To make the policy retroactive would cause turbulence in field units and undermine the mission-oriented posture.” Servicemembers will not be charged for their travel days. The R&R leave begins when the servicemember arrives at the commercial airport nearest their leave destination. “It says ‘thank you’ to servicemembers and their Families in a very concrete way,” Pope said. “And it further validates the concept that time away from the combat zone on R&R not only benefits the servicemembers and loved ones, but improves operation readiness by refreshing the force.” Servicemembers serving one-year tours will continue to receive 15 days of chargeable R&R leave. The policy is applicable to active-duty Soldiers and mobilized Reservists who deploy for 15 months.

  • Billy Bob Thornton Interview
    A Conversation with Billy Bob Thornton by Frank Goodman Puremusic 1/2002 I had known that Billy Bob was slated to star in the new Travis Tritt video, “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde.” Brother JB is our publisher, and he and my brother-in-law Gary Falcon manage Travis, so I’d been privy to the video developments. Everybody was up about it, it was obviously not going to be your average Country video. It doesn’t take much to get me to pack a suitcase and go almost anywhere, my gypsy ways never changed. So when it occurred to JB that flying me out to L.A. might land us a Puremusic interview with Billy Bob Thornton about his new record, I was basically in the air. I didn’t mind waiting for JB to turn up at LAX a couple of hours after me, I was engrossed in Ann Patchett’s The Magician’s Assistant, and having a big time. We got out to the high desert location, outside Palmdale. There’s an old abandoned little motel out there called The Four Aces, it’s used exclusively for videos and movies today. The desert’s funny like that. Something goes out of business, they just leave it there and walk away, let the elements have at it. I took some pictures of this old Spanish-style mortuary, I liked the sign that said “Open.” I really enjoyed the record, Private Radio. I know, we don’t usually cotton to records by actors. Visions of William Shatner singing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or the shocking crooning of Jim Nabors comes to mind.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

    VIA ECFS April 30, 2021 Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 45 L Street NE Washington, DC 20554 Re: Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Auction, AU Docket No. 20-34; Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, WC Docket No. 19-126; Connect America Fund, WC Docket No. 10-90 Dear Ms. Dortch: The Ensuring RDOF Integrity Coalition (“ERIC”)1 submits this ex parte letter to support prior requests that the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) expeditiously release a Public Notice that lists Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (“RDOF”) Phase I census block groups (“CBGs”) on which provisional winning bidders have defaulted. On April 23 , 2021, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”) disclosed that AMG Technology Investment Group DBA Nextlink Internet (“Nextlink”) is no longer seeking eligible telecommunications carrier (“ETC”) status in New Mexico because Nextlink determined that it would be “relinquishing” (i.e., defaulting on) the New Mexico census blocks it had won in Auction 904.2 Significantly, the reason provided by Nextlink for its default is its determination that: …the small amount of assigned support for the small number of locations in these census blocks will be insufficient in relation to the costs of buildout and compliance over the 10‐year term. It is therefore not economically prudent for Nextlink Internet to move forward with respect to the above‐listed census blocks.3 ERIC is aware that following the RDOF reverse auction, some winning bidders may have defaulted on a few selective locations or census blocks within certain CBGs. In this case, however, Nextlink will effectively abandon its RDOF commitment throughout the entire State of 1 ERIC is a coalition consisting of rural broadband providers, rural Americans, and local government officials who have joined together to work to ensure that the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund proceeding will result in timely broadband service to rural America.

The last report was released March 13, 2009.1 The information in this report is drawn from providers’ Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets (FCC Form 499-A). It can be used by customers to identify and locate telecommunications providers, by telecommunications providers to identify and locate others in the industry, and by equipment vendors to identify potential customers. Virtually all providers of telecommunications must file FCC Form 499-A each year.2 These forms are not filed with the FCC but rather with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which serves as the data collection agent. The pool of filers contained in this edition consists of companies that operated and collected revenue during 2007, as well as new companies that file the form to fulfill the Commission’s registration requirement.3 Information from filings received by USAC after October 13, 2008, and from filings that were incomplete has been excluded from this report.
