Q: CSS centered border Hy everyone,
i want to have a border around a login form in html code, but with my current code, it isn't quite what i want. I want the border to really encapsulate the centered elements. any idea how to do that?
The result looks like this:

My code:
index.php:
<?php include "base.php"; ?>

<!DOCTYPE>

<title>Shopping List</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />

Please enter your login details

    <form>
        Username:<input type="text" name="username" id="username" >

        Password:<input type="text" name="password" id="password" >

        <input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login">
    </form>

style.css:
div.form{
text-align: center;

border: 5px solid;
border-radius: 25px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #888888;
}

.form label, .form input{
display: inline-block;
}

.form input {
width: 150px;
}

.form label {
width: 100px;
}

input {
border: 5px solid;
border-radius: 25px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #888888;

font-family: Trebuchet MS;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background-color: #FFF;
padding: 2px;
}

input[type="submit"] {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 150px;
height: 30px;
left: 50px;
}
input:hover {
border: 1px solid #222;
background-color: #EEE;
}

A: You could do that by reducing the width and centering your container ( div.form )
Something like
display:inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;

A: try to add
.form{
   max-width:320px;
   margin:0 auto;
}

A: you can use CSS to put a border round whatever you want. for my example i will just surround the username and password fields with a solid black border:
HTML:

Please enter your login details

        <form>

          Username:<input type="text" name="username" id="username" >

            Password:<input type="text" name="password" id="password" >

            <input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login">
        </form>

The only change in the above HTML is i have put div's around the username and password section so the css knows which html to border around.
i then write this simple css:
.border {1px solid black;}

here a website with will show you what border styles there is out their.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

A: You can resolve your issue by updating your CSS a little. Change these rules to the below CSS rules:
div.form {
   text-align: center;
}
form {
   padding: 20px;
   display: inline-block;
   border: 5px solid;
   border-radius: 25px;
   box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #888888;
}

And then updated your HTML to the below HTML:

   <form>

Please enter your login details

      Username:
      <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />

      Password:
      <input type="text" name="password" id="password" />

      <input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login">
   </form>

You would then have the following result:

I hope that helps you out.

Q: Difference in between ! and !! in angular What is difference in between !!user.rank and !user.rank

    Rank: {{user.rank}}

    <button class="btn btn-success" ng-click="KnightMe(user)">Knight       Me</button>

A: ! is not operator
!! casts something to truthy / not truthy
var foo = 0;
console.log(!!foo);
//false

A: ! converts Object to boolean. If it was falsey (e.g. 0, null, undefined, etc.), it will be false, otherwise, true.
!oObject  //Inverted boolean
!!oObject //Non inverted boolean so true boolean representation

So !! is not an operator, it's just the ! operator twice

Gov. Tim Pawlenty will unveil plans this week to move the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and abolish the 35-year-old board that, despite its lofty mission to oversee state environment policy, has shown little willingness to assert leadership.
The EQB plan is among realignment ideas that persistently swirl around the Capitol as legislators seek ways to trim government cost and improve services — or dilute effectiveness of agencies they don't like.
Sen. Mary Olson, DFL-Bemidji, is working on a draft to fuse the Department of Natural Resources and MPCA and possibly add other smaller resources groups to create a super environmental agency. She said impetus for her plan comes from a years-old draft bill by Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller, DFL-Minneapolis, and by a constituent who prepared a comprehensive paper on gaining government efficiency by combining agencies — and even creating a unicameral (one house) legislature.
And Sen. Ellen Anderson, DFL-St. Paul, said she's "thinking about" legislation to move the Office of Energy Security out of the Department of Commerce to the MPCA where its energy-policy role may be a better fit. Anderson is in a strong position to move her idea, as she chairs the Senate Environment and Energy Finance Division.
Separately, ideas to tinker with governmental organization typically diffuse, especially when — as this year — legislators get deeper into a session beset with politically difficult budgetary challenges. But with Gov. Pawlenty sending up a bill to make the EQB changes, some may see it as a "platform" to tack on their own plans.
Deputy MPCA Commissioner Tim Scherkenbach, who is the administration's point person on the EQB plan, said the draft legislation calls for a report to the Legislature on ways that EQB could better carry out its oversight and coordinating role in state government in view of several other similar bodies that have been created.
Scherkenbach will present the draft plan to the MPCA's Citizen's Board today.
When it was created in 1973 in the bright afterglow of the first Earth Day, the EQB was seen as a way to focus and direct public eco policy by, among other things, overseeing an aggressive environmental review process for development and public policy that could have broad effects on air, land and water.
"At least that was the idea," said Chuck Dayton of St. Paul, a long-time advocate who was a driving force behind numerous laws including the Environmental Policy Act (that created the EQB), the Environmental Rights Act and wilderness designation for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
Dayton said the EQB diluted its effectiveness by adopting rules that have made it difficult to gain the kind of environmental review that advocates have sought.
The problem, he said, is that the EQB's board consists of four citizens and the heads of nine state agencies with self-interests that make it difficult to gain a policy consensus.
Dayton said that few environmental statements are prepared on activities with potentially major environmental effects, while, for example, the state of Massachusetts prepares 200 or more a year.
Under the draft bill, EQB's statutory role in guiding state eco policy would not initially change but would be examined and a report on changes would be submitted to the 2010 Legislature. The bill would abolish the EQB's board by July of next year and transfer authority to the MPCA's nine-member Citizens Board, which by law is chaired by the MPCA commissioner.

Get your apple pickin' pants ready because the blog is about to be full of apple recipes!! My family and I have made visiting the apple orchard an annual tradition. I swear there's something in the air over there – we always end up leaving super happy and with way too many apples and fall food mixes. Who am I kidding? You can never have too much of either. We looooooooooooove fall!
With my husband being home for a couple of weeks, we decided to venture over to the orchard during the week to avoid the crowds. We pretty much had the place to ourselves and it was so nice being able to stroll through the orchard's store and outdoor area peacefully. We were bummed to find out the apple picking portion of the orchard isn't opened during the week, but plan to go back again before we enter into pumpkin season. Give me all the apples!
We currently have apples at home and plan on getting more when we go picking, which got me thinking how nice it would be to have a couple of staple recipes on hand to be able to use the apples we have at home. Not that I'm complaining about just munching on plain apples and peanut butter.
While brainstorming some recipes, I remembered we had some leftover chicken my mom brought over after Emory was born, and to me, leftover chicken almost always equals chicken salad. That's right, I decided to put together a crunchy, salty and sweet chicken salad that screams "I LOVE FALL!" Yes, the chicken salad is that dramatic.
To give you the rundown, this chicken salad is made up of chicken (duh!), bacon, diced red apples, fresh thyme, pecans and maple syrup (hello sweetness!). So, after a nice trip to the apple farm, I suggest you make a trip to the grocery store to gather the rest of the ingredients for this recipe. It's a fall recipe you don't want to miss! If you end up making it, don't forget to tag #marinamakeseats!
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh thyme, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add chicken, diced apples, chopped walnuts, bacon and maple syrup and stir to combine.
Place chicken salad on top of toasted multi-grain bread or a bagel. It's also good enough to eat on it's own!

H-Town Run Tourist: Houston Favorite
Get your exercise on and your culture on at Hermann Park

I was taking a drive through Hermann Park the other day. It gave me so many memories. When I waited tables in Rice Village, I would sneak in extra mileage and hill training on my breaks. I wanted to see how much I could do without being late to work. As a matter of fact, I have had a lot of personal memories at Hermann Park. Chances are, you have too. If not, here are a few reasons to visit Hermann Park to make a few memories of your own.
Sam Houston Statue
But first, a little Hermann History.
Hermann Park is a hub for exercise, hard- core training, golf and culture that sees 6 million Houstonians and tourists a year. 105 years ago, a real estate investor named George Hermann deeded the city of Houston the land that has become 445 acres of green space that is now the Hermann Park that we know and love. Here is a fun fact: Did you know that in 1922, the Hermann Park Golf Course became the first public golf course to welcome all races?
*Cited from the Hermann Park original website.
Abundant foliage and wildlife.
Take a walk through the Japanese Flower Gardens and you will see all of the trees and lily pads in the water. If you continue walking, you will walk into families of ducks and geese. Your run may begin here with the geese chasing you. Stay away from their goslings. They won't tell you twice. And they do have facial recognition. During spring, you will see not one, not two, but over a hundred turtles. You may also see some nutria swimming in the pond as well. I don't know why I'm not more afraid of these Rodents of Unusual Size. I guess, I respect how they just do them and not get all up in mine. That's pretty cool.
Run around the golf course on the cinder path.
Get your exercise on.
So, obviously, we are talking about a park. When I think park, the first thing I think of is exercise. When I was training for the 2008 Houston Marathon with Kenyan Way, we used Hermann Park for extra mileage that was easy to calculate and it was a great way to get from the Museum District to Rice University. Those were some long days, but worth it. You can definitely enjoy a 4-5 mile run or a walk around the golf course, the refection pool, and through the Japanese Gardens. The best thing is not only is the scenery ever-changing, but its all on the luxurious cushion of the cinder path that is oh so good on your joints. There is also workout equipment in the park as well as a full-on weight room in the community center.
McGovern Centennial Gardens
Picture worthy landmarks.
Of course, there are some amazing wildlife and foliage in Hermann Park, but there are some amazing picture worthy landmarks as well. Jesse Jones Reflection Pond and Mecom Fountain come straight to mind. Jesse Jones Reflection Pond is also great for a picnic lunch and a good book as well as sprint running with a slow rising hill. The Pyramid at McGovern Centennial Gardens offers a great photo opportunity and some great hill running. Just make sure that no one else is there. Of course, there is the Sam Houston Statue that caused a lot of controversy in the last couple of years. I'm going to say it. Remember, this is coming from a black woman and said with love. Who wasn't racist and owned slaves back then? That is what they did. You can't just rip up Houston and Texas history because of this. Regardless of the man's political stance, this statue is part of Houston history and should be left alone. I will continue to take pictures by it and that is that.
Treat yourself right at Miller Outdoor Theatre
Miller. Outdoor. Theatre.
Enough said. One of my first expressions of self love and care as an adult was at Miller Outdoor Theatre. I brought a picnic meal complete with pate and cheeses along with a blanket to the hill at Miller. I was determined to enjoy my own company while enjoying some culture. It took some getting used to, but it was the first time that I had a great time by myself. We are done being existential. Today, you can still enjoy performances that range from Shakespeare to Bollywood, from Ragtime to Chinese Ballet to Hip Hop and children's plays. All for free. Just don't bring glass or weed.
Lots of performances
Really awesome events.
Whether you are on vacation, just moved here, or a long time resident, you will definitely enjoy the amazing events at Hermann that are for all ages. Bring your kite to the Annual Kite Festival and you will find 10,000 other friends who love to fly kites just as much as you do. Other events include Hats in the Park, Evening in the Park, and Run in the Park.
See the Dark Side of the Moon at Burke Baker Planetarium
It is the hub to the Museum District and the Houston Zoo.
Park your car once and you will not need to move it all day. Hermann Park is a few footsteps to the Houston Zoo (ooh Zoo Lights is going on right now!), the Museum of Natural Science. (Burke Baker Planetarium shows the Dark Side of the Moon most evenings at 5pm. You know Pink Floyd.) Don't forget the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
Hermann Park has something for everyone. You could be a family of five with young children, a couple getting to know each other, or a tourist from Abu Dhabi staying at Hotel Zsa Zsa. You will definitely get a taste of Houston culture and hospitality.

New information raises red flags involving Houston Texans coaching search
It sure looks like Yuli Gurriel just tipped his hand on his future with Astros
Examining the latest Houston Texans mock draft nightmare
EVERY-THING SPORTS
We may have our answer regarding Yuli Gurriel's next move
Jermaine Every
The Marlins are showing interest in Yuli Gurriel. Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images.
As the reporting date for pitchers and catchers draws near, there are still some decisions hanging over the Astros. One of them is whether or not to bring back Yuli Gurriel. "La Piña," as he's affectionately called, is 38 years old. He turns 39 in June. His leadership and instincts cannot be matched. The man has seen a ton of baseball and comes from a family of baseballers. So, what's the holdup?
Enter the Miami Marlins. The ownership group, led by Bruce Sherman, is undoubtedly trying to capitalize on the heavy Cuban population in the Miami area. Bringing in the Cuban Babe Ruth is a great way to attempt to get more fan engagement. The franchise has only been to the playoffs three times. First two times (1997 and 2003), they won it all. In 2020, they were swept in the NLDS. They're most likely offering him a ridiculous amount of money to come to a team with a losing history. Knowing the Marlins are willing to hand out stupid money, would you blame La Piña for taking one last ridiculous payday?
Marlins meet with Yuli Gurriel in Miami: a great option for that lineup!
@5ReasonsSportshttps://t.co/UXfzL1GWVG
— Alejandro Villegas (5RSN) (@alejandrovg32) January 17, 2023
Think about it. He's got two rings and made a ton of money. He can safely retire very comfortably. The lure to come back for another year or two would definitely be about money. The Marlins aren't a real threat in the next couple of seasons to do anything, but are willing to pay me like I'm still a star? Plus, I'm closer to my home country with all my family and friends? Sign me up!
This is where the Astros have to make a decision. Bring Yuli back for another year or move on. If he follows through with his last four years, this should be a bounce back year. Since 2016, his first year in Houston and MLB, he's hit .262, .299, .291, .298, .232 (pandemic shortened season), .319, and .242 last season. The man is a professional hitter. He knows how to work an at-bat and can drive pitchers nuts. His defense isn't bad either. He's a more than capable first baseman.
This won't win me any favor, but I think it's time to move on. Yuli will always have a place in my heart because he was a major factor in the Astros' two World Series wins. Last season's title run was even more satisfying since it helped silence the haters. That was the mouthwash that got rid of the stench of the sign stealing scandal. Piña was there through it all.
Now, it's time to start transitioning towards the future. Piña, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Justin Verlander, and Lance McCullers Jr were the only holdovers from the 2017 team. Verlander was one of the guys the Mets backed the Brinks truck up for this offseason. Altuve (32), Bregman (28), and McCullers (29) should be all that's left of that group. While it would've been great to have Verlander (39) back, the emergence of the youth movement in the pitching staff made his loss somewhat expendable. At some point, the nostalgia wears off. Father Time and Mother Nature are both undefeated. If they were to bring Piña back, he should be a part timer transitioning into a hitting coach. Careers come to an end. It's time to start looking at his exit.

1. RENT YOUR EXHIBIT: Exhibit rental can sometimes be a more practical solution than owning, particularly if you're uncertain about your long-term commitment to exhibiting. You may also change your messaging often enough or your exhibit size often enough that it makes sense to rent. Short-term rental expenses may make more sense than buying and amortizing custom materials that may later end up going unused. When locally sourced, rentals can often save you shipping and storage expenses.
2. UTILIZE FREE SHIPPING: When ordering items for trade shows, consider ordering from the chain retailers or Amazon that includes free shipping and have it deliver directly the show site or hotel for you.
3. CONSOLIDATE YOUR SHIPMENTS: Although it's not always possible to send your materials in one shipment, any minimum parcel fees can really add up if you end up sending 15-20 additional boxes after your initial pallet. When you do send follow-up shipments, try to shrink-wrap them into a single unit, which will save you parcel fees, and reduce the chance of lost boxes.
4. BE SELECTIVE: "FREEBEES" AREN'T FREE: Your booth giveaways may seem small and inconsequential, but their costs do add up and consume a large part of your marketing budget. As nice as it can be to have customized give aways for each event, the costs of those short-run orders (as well as any excess, aged inventory left over after the show) can really break the bank. Strive for "evergreen" giveaways that you can use at every show, and buy in bulk to lower your unit costs.
5. USE VIRTUAL GIVEAWAYS: A lot of mass-merchandise premiums end up generating no leads, or are essentially exchanged for hundreds of cold leads that your sales team will never have time to follow up on. Instead of giving away lots of mediocre giveaways, put several pieces of highly-visible, highly-valuable swag on display. When attendees inquire about it, offer to mail it to them after the show in exchange for answering a detailed digital marketing survey. You'll likely see a better ROI on your investment this way, and your sales team will have better qualified, post-show leads.
6. KILL THE UNCESSARY STORAGE: All too often, our exhibitors will simply forget what they have in storage, and in turn pay fees on crates or exhibit materials that can be pitched out. Make sure you have an on line inventory of what you are storing and be sure to evaluate it at least one time per year, sometimes more. You could also consider selling the assets on the secondary markets and gain something for your investment. The gain could cover the cost of what the disposal would have been.
7. FILL THE VOIDS: Become pedantic on filling up every available void in your crates and reduce the over number of skids going to the shows. Ask your exhibit house to keep the crates open when they are prepping the exhibit so you can insure you are not shipping an empty crate (I literally just had a client do this, they shipped an empty product crate to the show).
8. EXPLORE COOPERATIVE BOOTH SPACE: Sharing a booth with an allied local business can not only let you split booth costs, it may allow you access to a better location in the show than you could afford if exhibiting solo. In addition, you can often capitalize on each other's marketing leads.
9. REFURBISH EXHIBIT: Trade show exhibits can start to show their wear after several years of usage and travel. If your budget is tight and you can't commit to a brand new booth, consider updating your signage or adding a few new components.
10. DESIGN FOR LONGEVITY: Take a look at your graphics and considering doing 80-90% of messaging in a timeless messages that will last for the life expectancy of your exhibit. Make 10-20% of your graphic messaging product or time frame specific and this will save significant dollars that would be spent on graphics. Make the changing messages affordable and easy. Save the details, limited time offers, etc., for your booth staffers to share in show floor conversations..

Four kinds of naturally occurring 3,6-dibenzylidene (1)-, 3-(p)-anisilidene-6-benzylidene (2), -3-isobutylidene-6-benzylidene (3; antibiotic albonoursin)-, and 3-benzyl-6-benzylidene-2,5-piperazinediones (4), isolated from Streptomyces and Actinomyces strains, and their possible geometric and optical isomers were stereoselectively synthesized. Based on the spectral data and the independent preparation, the configuration and conformation of the natural products 1, 2, and 3 could be clearly determined to be (3Z, 6Z)-isomers and 4 to be (3R, 6Z)-isomer. Particularly, from the NMR and CD spectral data, the useful criterion for the configurational determination of the geometry of exocyclic C=C bond was obtained and the conformation of the half boat structure of 2,5-piperazinediones was unambiguously confirmed. Moreover, the methylation of 1, 2, and 3 was achieved to give mainly three kinds of derivatives, 1-, 4-mono-, and 1,4-dimethylated 1, 2, and 3 respectively.


PRINCETON, NJ -- The increased conservatism that Gallup first identified among Americans last June persisted throughout the year, so that the final year-end political ideology figures confirm Gallup's initial reporting: conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009.
More broadly, the percentage of Americans calling themselves either conservative or liberal has increased over the last decade, while the percentage of moderates has declined.
Since 1992, there have been only two other years -- 2003 and 2004 -- in which the average percentage of conservatives nationwide outnumbered moderates, and in both cases, it was by two percentage points (in contrast to the current four points).
"The proportion of independents calling themselves "moderate" held relatively steady in the mid-40s over the last decade, while the proportion of Republican and Democratic moderates dwindled."
The rather abrupt three-point increase between 2008 and 2009 in the percentage of Americans calling themselves conservative is largely owing to an increase -- from 30% to 35% -- in the percentage of political independents adopting the label. Over the same period, there was only a slight increase in professed conservatism among Republicans (from 70% to 71%) and no change among Democrats (at 21%).
The 2009 findings come from an aggregate of 21 separate Gallup and USA Today/Gallup surveys, including nearly 22,000 interviews. The 1992 to 2008 trends also represent thousands of interviews compiled for each year. Thus, the margins of sampling error around the individual estimates are less than one percentage point.
Just looking at the decade that ended in 2009, Gallup's annual political ideology trends document a slight dip in the percentage of Americans calling themselves moderate (from 40% in 2000 to 36% in 2009), while, at the same time, the ranks of both liberals and conservatives expanded slightly.
Gallup measures political ideology by asking Americans to indicate whether their political views are very conservative, conservative, moderate, liberal, or very liberal. The detailed responses show a slight increase between 2000 and 2009 in the percentage of Americans calling themselves "very conservative" (from 6% to 9%) and less change in the percentage calling themselves "very liberal" (from 4% to 5%). Most conservatives continue to call themselves "conservative" rather than "very conservative," and the same pattern is seen for liberals.
Republicans Become More Solidly "Conservative"
In addition to the very recent increase in conservatism among independents, a growing percentage of Republicans identified themselves as such starting in 2003. Across the same period, the percentage of Democrats calling themselves conservative dipped slightly, somewhat offsetting the increase among Republicans.
The proportion of independents calling themselves "moderate" held relatively steady in the mid-40s over the last decade, while the proportion of Republican and Democratic moderates dwindled. Between 2000 and 2009, the percentage of moderates fell five percentage points among Democrats (from 44% to 39%) and seven points among Republicans (from 31% to 24%).
Similar to the increased conservatism among Republicans, there was a gradual increase in the last decade in "liberal" identification among Democrats, from 29% in 2002 to 38% in 2007, and it has since remained at about that level.
The effect of this shift among Democrats is most apparent when one reviews the trend in their ideological profile over the past decade. Whereas moderates constituted the largest bloc of Democrats in 2000, today they are about tied with liberals as twin leaders, and the proportion of conservatives has declined.
By contrast, the expanded number of conservatives making up the Republican Party has merely strengthened the conservatives' already strong hold on that party.
And despite the recent uptick in conservatism among independents, the largest segment continues to be moderate (although by a smaller margin than previously).
Political independents showed increased attachment to the "conservative" label in 2009, boosting the overall ranks of that group so that it now clearly outnumbers moderates in Gallup's annual averages for the first time since 2004. Longer term, the proportions of Americans calling themselves conservative as well as liberal expanded slightly this past decade, largely because of increased partisan attachment to each label. At the same time, the percentage of "moderates" has dwindled, underscoring the heightened polarization of American politics as the nation heads into a new decade.
Results are based on aggregated data from Gallup polls conducted in 2009, each based on telephone interviews with 1,000 or more national adults, aged 18 and older. For results based on the total sample of 21,905 national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.
Other results are based on aggregated Gallup surveys of approximately 1,000 national adults 18 and older each. Sample sizes for the annual compilations range from approximately 10,000 to approximately 40,000. For these results, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.


TIM: Well, John, another baseball season has come to an end and, as is custom, the ritualistic falling of snow in late October in the northeast has commenced the off-season. As we look back on the World Series, I believe you owe me several units of Cassandran kudos.
JOHN S: Alright, so I think I'm finally over the Yankees loss enough to talk about this potential LCS. First off, let's talk about Verlander. All throughout the season, we've heard how Justin Verlander is the key to how far the Tigers can go. His entire MVP case seemed built around the idea that the rest of his squadron was a bunch of glorified Little Leaguers. Hopefully, though, the ALDS proved that the Tigers are actually quite good, even apart from their dominant ace. And yet there are still a few Around The Horn talking heads who insist that the Tigers only chance against Texas is if Verlander starts Games 1, 4 and 7 (which Jim Leyland won't do). This idea seems insane to me. So just how important do you think Verlander is to the Tigers, on a scale of "C.J. Wilson to the Rangers" to "Jake Peavy to the '05 Padres"?

Foraging for Blackberries along a Hedgerow in Norfolk
Posted by Adrian Ayres Fisher on March 13, 2014
Hedgerows in Norfolk
One night during my October visit to the British historian's cottage the wind blew hard from midnight on, roaring in off the North Sea, carrying on in unabated vigor all the way from Iceland. I'd woken at dawn, listened to the wind and rain for a bit and gone back to sleep before getting up for a late-ish breakfast. The rain continued in spurts all day, and in between showers we went out and did garden chores, such as spreading well-rotted horse manure in a new garden bed where some raspberry canes would be planted in spring and planting out garlic and onions. It seemed strange to me to be planting food crops in autumn, after harvest. The process brought new understanding of why the ancient peoples of this land could celebrate the New Year directly after harvest: planting season lasts all year, nothing ever seems to stop growing, and little appears to go completely dormant in the way an Illinoisan understands the word.
After the weather cleared a little more, my friend and I went for a walk along a narrow lane edged on both sides by hedgerows in order to pick blackberries from eight-foot tall brambles that were growing up through a tangle of roses, sloes, buckthorn, small oaks, holly, hawthorn and all kinds of other things--a crowded community also including turf grass, nettles, nightshade, English ivy, bindweed, creeping Charlie, poppies and dandelions. Again, as in the cornfield we had traversed previously, I had an eerie sensation of familiarity, as though I was slipping between continents. We Americans might not grow sloes, and consequently not produce sloe gin, as the historian's friends do, and our oaks and hawthorns are of course different species--yet it was easy to recognize the plants. It was even odder to see buckthorn, that bully of the Midwestern woodlands and savannas, behaving itself--no more and no less than a citizen of the hedgerow.
Blackberries have a deeper, wilder taste than raspberries, almost smoky, if you were describing them like a wine. My friend makes a compote that is a delightful topping for the breakfast muesli and milk or yogurt. Her aim was to gather enough--the season was almost over--to put up enough to carry through for several more months. We addressed ourselves assiduously to walking and picking, water falling off the leaves--still green!--on our hands and coats, our boots going damp from the low plants and grass at the verges. Proceeding at this rate can take a very long time to get even a hundred feet, so we were truly lingering, which gave ample opportunity to observe what was growing. There were a few late raspberries, too, that I ate and savored as we went.
Though there seemed to be a luxurious abundance of hedgerows in the area I was visiting, they are endangered in England, for many of the same reasons that Midwestern fencerows, once the refuge of birds, wild plants and beneficial insects, have all but disappeared. On the train through Cambridgeshire I had seen fairly large American-style fields, all plowed furrows inhabited by big tractors with nary a hedgerow in sight. I imagined getting off the train to go talk to those farmers: don't repeat our misdoings, I would say. Learn from our mistakes. You'll be sorry, someday, in the way that some of us in Illinois are sorry, with our nitrogen and phosphorus run-off, atrazine-laced groundwater, our plowing up of even marginal land, our lost habitat and consequently lost species (and our own lost selves?). But there's money to be made, they, I'm sure, would answer, as almost any Illinois farmer would. Though one good sign lately is that a few of the latter have started to put small areas of erstwhile corn acreage into produce production. Some have been taking classes to learn how to grow not-corn and not-soy. The new US farm bill even throws a pittance of support at what are called "specialty crops," e.g. fruits and vegetables. And once Illinois farmers truly embrace fruits and vegetables as worthy of growing, can rejuvenated fencerows and hedgerows be far behind? One hopes, fervently.
However. The Cambridgeshire farmers perhaps haven't gotten that far along through the wreck-regret-repair cycle, and the train carried me on to Norfolk, where plenty of these diverse, edge habitats remain and people dedicated to their preservation seemingly prevail. According to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Norfolk has lost nearly half its hedgerows, mostly since World War II. But that has slowed down as people have come to understand just how valuable they are as a way to store carbon, provide habitat for rare and endangered species--and berries for foraging. The Trust defines a hedgerow as "any line of trees or shrubs, over 1 meter tall and over 20 meters long, less than 5 meters wide at the base and with less than 30% of the hedgerow being gaps." This definition neglects the understory and ground cover layers of grasses and forbs, yet seems reasonable. The 5 meter dimension is interesting to me, since hedgerows here in the States can potentially be well over 15 feet wide, especially when they involve large trees such as hickories and unless someone keeps the osage orange trees seriously chopped back. Still, that width does seem appropriate. Wider than that, and what you have is probably another kind of woodsy area that is no longer a hedgerow meant to separate fields and line roads.
Workers laying a hedge
Also, it might be wise to distinguish between those hedgerows maintained according to the ancient craft of laying, in which branches are interlaced and pegged down so that everything grows together, forming a living fence, and the ones such as those between which we were ambulating, which clearly were not, though they obviously had been kept trimmed.* There is an old story that laid hedgerows never caught on in the U.S. because Americans were just too lazy to go to all that trouble. Alternative explanations claim that American farmers were too busy establishing farms and then lighting out for the territories shortly thereafter, so there was no point in taking on a project that could last a lifetime to do right; or that we just plain had too much space to enclose and had to do it quickly.
At the time it didn't occur to me to ask how English hedgerows are maintained these days, much as I'm sure casual visitors to the woodland savannah I help manage usually don't wonder how in spring and summer it is so full of wildflowers growing in such profusion. It's easy to imagine humans had nothing to do with it. In my experience, backed up by that of many native peoples I have read about, a landscape in the middle of the continuum between un-peopled wilderness and the manicured suburb, where people dwell as citizens of the ecological community, can be managed in a way that is beneficial for other species besides humans. Even though it is cultivated and has been "tamed," a patchwork, mosaic landscape with hedgerows, coppices, and managed woodlots as well as less managed areas like wetlands and riparian bottomlands can be a healthy landscape, abundant and fertile, with room and habitat enough for all.
Note: You can see the Norfolk Hedgerow Action Plan here: http://www.norfolkbiodiversity.org/actionplans/habitatactionplans/hedgerows.aspx
*Update 4/18/14: British nature writer Richard Mabey has this to say about a hedgerow in Norfolk:
"The hedges that line [the lane] aren't the planted strips of hawthorne you find in planned countryside ...And they hadn't been laid, but coppiced, cut back to the ground level every eight to ten years as was the local tradition." (From Nature Cure, U of Virginia, 2005)

After reading this post, I am thinking that my husband and I need to "lay" some hedgerow near our roadsides. I need to do some more research on how this is done. I think MOTHER EARTH had an article on this topic. Enjoyed your post.
Enjoyed both posts from Norfolk, and look forward to the next one on hedgerows.
Hi Anonymous, thanks for stopping by. I believe layed hedges can be very useful in the right situation. You've given me the idea to research some sources for Americans.
Hi Margaret, Glad you enjoyed.


Social media is considered to be amazing for brand awareness, traffic and customer engagement. However, if you consider the sales funnel, several other digital marketing topics are believed to be integral. It is the time that you should get serious and focus on what will matter. It is paramount to move beyond likes, sharing, and traffic to find a raise in the sales channel.
Gone are days when an advertisement was only thought to be an expense. In the digital age, it is considered to be an investment in the future of your online authority. It is recognized to be a built asset. Today, online videos have replaced advertisements of 30 seconds which used to cost a huge cut off from the pocket. These online videos can be viewed into the future and hence they are an essential part of online business.
In these days, competition is not considered local anymore. Amazon is counted to be the global competitor for eCommerce business. It is essential to consider global competitors and optimize your business in accordance with that. Setting your strategies in accordance with the businesses will assist in conferring success to your business.
In the past, marketing was recognized to be just an art. Today, with the optimization and amplification of science and technology, it is considered to be an integral part of business for boosting the revenue of the business. Data enhances creativity and human intuition. Digital marketing platforms confer automation tools which will assist in publishing and marketing at scale.
Social: Facebook and Tweet posts which were done by hand will now be scheduled, loaded and automated.
It is possible to run automated email sequences for running from opt-in to purchasing without human interference.
Paid digital advertising have done wonders to the business in the past years. Potential traffic can be attracted in no time with the aid of paid digital marketing. The marketing effectiveness is measured in terms of engagement, impressions, and clicks. While businesses have been benefited with paid digital advertisement, dependence on these strategies will sure confer a boost to your business.
In the past days, mobile was recognized to be the second screen which has been flipped. In these days, it is considered to be the primary screen for most businesses. A nalytics show a higher mobile traffic for almost any sorts of businesses. Even most of the review of Facebook come from mobile marketing.
Statistics reveal that more than 75 percent of the revenue comes from mobile advertisement. Hence, it indicates that mobile marketing should be of higher focus in these days.
Digital marketing has become a buzz word for most of the businesses. Adopting the right digital marketing strategies will definitely confer an identity to your business.

Microservices are talk of the town these days. I wanted to share my thoughts on microservices based on some experiments that we are running into at our current project.
Recently, we deployed a microservice for two-step verification feature on one of our projects. This was a strict business requirement, because having a separate server to store your 2nd-factor authorization provides additional security in case the servers hosting your primary factor are compromised.
We operate on a cloud environment, so spinning up new servers is a simple process. The source code for this whole Ruby on Rails based two-step verification service is no more than a couple hundred lines. So, in theory, it should be very easy to deploy such a service. However, it proved to be a lot of work in the end.
For example, to deploy this service, we actually had to spin a few servers for each of our staging and production environments. They also had to be load balanced for obvious reasons. They needed their own database for the business requirements, which also needed automated periodic backups. Networking and VPN related configurations as well as DNS configurations were also required. Monitoring tools had to be configured so we can get alerts in case things were about to fail. Deployment scripts had to be written for this service as well.
All in all, I'd say it took 20x the time to deploy this microservice than writing the code for it.
Since it has been deployed, we didn't ship changes as often to this service compared to our main project. This is what I find to be the primary benefit of this approach, since it doesn't require as big a regression test during our releases.
However, when things go wrong, our debug efforts are harder since more infrastructural pieces are involved. Considering the additional work required and the value gain, I'm really not sure if microservices provide any real ROI.
The additional complexity of dealing with many servers as opposed to a larger app may or may not be worth it. I agree with Martin Fowler on the prerequisites of microservices. Unless, you have streamlined an automated way to provision new servers with all required parts, it may actually be best for you to keep working on the monolith. It's not the end of the world, and you'll have more time to spend with the family!
Every year, I wish to run a couple of public speaking sessions/presentations/demos. This year, I had the opportunity to teach a hands-on session at CAMUG and wanted to share some lessons learned with my readers on this blog.
Thanks Terence for taking this photo.
Calling out a separate read vs. write time should help with the fact that some people are still typing when I moved to the next topic.
This time I ran a few rounds of practice runs using QuickTimePlayer's screen recorder. This helped me a great deal since I was able to correct a few mistakes and got some ideas for improvements even before showing this to my colleage.
I also did a 1 hour compressed practice run with Mo and he had some great advices.
to have a video recording of the future sessions if possible.
find a topic for a presentation that has a value proposition in itself, apart from just being a hello world example.
I've tried to write the code myself a few times ahead of the session, and always had some typos that'd break things here and there. So, I decided to have a backup of the code with the seed project, and distributed it to the attendees. This helped me quite a bit, as people could simple copy-paste segments of the code when frustrated by that missing curly brace or a sneaky syntax error.
However, during the live session, I decided to deviate a bit from the backup code to clarify some questions. While the deviation made it easy to explain certain things, it also introduced some confusions for people that were following the backup and didn't see the exact same code on the projector.
If backup code is used, stick to it.
It was really good to see a full house on a morning of a summer weekend in Calgary. The audience had a really good mix of people, ranging from students to people with 35 years of experience. It was also inspiring to hear some of the feedback from them and I wish to deliver a better talk next time.
Btw, if you are interested, check out the live demo of Lookahead and its 54 lines of JS.
2013 was an amazing year in many ways for my personal life. To recap, the top story of 2013 was of course the birth of our son, Shopoth. And then, we bought our first house, paid off our car-loan and ended the year with a much needed vacation, that too to Bangladesh where we spent some quality time with the families.
2013 was my year of learning Haskell. I can't claim to be a seasoned Haskell programmer yet. But I think I learned a lot of new concepts that you only see once you're left in the unchartered territory of a functional programming language. So, in 2014, Haskell still remains a the language I want to get better at.
I'd like to change a few things in 2014 in terms of my career. It's been almost 8 years since I've been developing web apps on the job. It's been exciting and I feel overwhelmed when I look back at how far the industry has matured over the years. However, at the same time, in 2014, I'd like to focus on my soft-skills, especially on my negotiation skills. The target is to practice negotiation before I need to negotiate with others, so I'm well prepared to share my opinion about a topic. And afterwards, do a retrospective to find out room for improvement.
In 2013, I also got a PhD admission at the University of Calgary. So far, I've enrolled into only a single course. But the target is to publish one paper on API evolution by the end of this summer.
2014 is the first year of my thirties. I guess, I should start checking off items from my bucket list from now on. Still debating which one to target in 2014: a) learn to fly an airplane, b) start my own side project. Will keep you posted when I've made my mind. Happy 2014 till then.
In 2014, I'd like to continue my open source contribution, preferably to some well established projects.
Growing up, my dad had a huge influence on my upbringing. He had a government job and it was the only job he ever had (retired in 2012). However, my generation Y seems somewhat lucky to be able to pick and choose a job, once every couple years or so. And every time I feel like it's time to start looking around for that next job, I get intimidated by this question.
I focused on the worst case and best case outcomes. For me, the worst case was if the new job I was taking would leave me jobless, right when Shopoth, my son, was due to be born. I was pretty confident that wasn't gonna happen until something really bad happened. The next in line was, if work and life at the new place turns out to be too bad that I'd have to find a new job right after. If it indeed happened, I timeboxed it to at least see it for 8 months, when our new born baby would be 4 months old and we'd possibly get somewhat settled. With these two items checked, I felt somewhat comfortable with the decision to move.

On Pentecost, Jorge Bergoglio (stage name, Francis) performed a great service to all who find themselves genuinely confused by the present ecclesial crisis, and who sincerely desire to be and to remain Catholic.
What was this great service, you may ask?
He dropped an H-Bomb.
Big deal, right? I know, Jorge is among the world's most prolific heresy machines, but this time he provided all concerned with an interpretive key that goes a long way toward making sense of the Council, the society that emerged therefrom, and the Bergoglian reign of terror over it.
Specifically, Jorge blasphemed the Holy Ghost on the very day that the Church celebrates His descent, saying:
And finally, oddly, the Holy Spirit is the author of division, of ruckus, of a certain disorder. Think of the morning of Pentecost: he is the author… he creates division of languages and attitudes… it was a ruckus, that! Yet at the same time, he is the author of harmony. He divides with the variety of charisms, but it is a false division, because true division is part of harmony. He creates division with charisms and he creates harmony with all this division. This is the richness of the Church.
Yes, you read that correctly; he accused the Holy Spirit of not only causing division, but also of being its source!
In the past, I have suggested that a Christological heresy lies at the heart of Bergoglianism and the conciliar crisis more generally. As such, once one understands that the Jesus of the conciliar church is but a mere man, its false doctrines, earthbound liturgy, and worldly behavior begin to make sense. All of this is true, but an even clearer understanding of present circumstances can be gleaned if we also bear in mind this recent blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.
In reality, though he spoke of the "Holy Spirit," what Jorge was really describing is the life-principle that dwells within the conciliar church, the counterfeit church that he serves as head. The Catechism of the Council of Trent elucidates the dichotomy that exists between the two very well:
And just as this one Church [the true Church] cannot err in faith or morals, since it is guided by the Holy Ghost; so, on the contrary, all other societies arrogating to themselves the name of church [like the conciliar church], must necessarily, because guided by the spirit of the devil, be sunk in the most pernicious errors, both doctrinal and moral.
To be fair, though Francis is the first among his conciliar predecessors to invoke the phrase "author of division," he can hardly be credited with the heresy itself which was (as the name "conciliar church" suggests) born at Vatican Council II.
Before we get to that, consider the operative presence of the Holy Ghost in the one true Church of Christ as described in Ludwig Ott's Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma:
– The Holy Ghost is the Soul of the Church … While the Holy Ghost is the soul of the Church, the lawfully organized visible commonwealth of the faithful is the body of the Church. Both conjointly form a coherent whole as do the soul and the body in man.
As the citation from the Roman Catechism above makes plain, it is for this reason – the presence of the Holy Ghost as her soul – that the Church cannot err, whereas the heretical sects err with abandon. Those who suggest, therefore, that the Church can, and in fact did, err in faith or morals (as nearly all tradservatives seem to imagine) are essentially declaring that the Spirit of Truth has separated from the Body of the Church, even if only temporarily.
We have a name for the separation of the soul from the body; it's called death. Think long and hard about this when considering Vatican II, its errors, and whether or not it truly belongs to the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
– It is the Holy Ghost who welds together the members of the Church among themselves and with Christ the Head.
So much for this "author of division" nonsense.
– The Fathers attest the intimate connection of the Holy Ghost with the Church. St. Irenaeus says: "Where the Church is, there is also the Spirit of God; and where the Spirit of God is, there is the Church and all grace." (Adv. haer. III 24, I).
The converse is equally as true: That is to say, in non-Catholic societies that dare to arrogate to themselves the name of church, the Spirit of God is not. Neither, therefore, is the one true Church, the solitary Ark of Salvation. This being so, such societies can hardly be considered salvific as they lack the Spirit of God.
The Council, however, teaches otherwise:
It follows that the separated Churches and Communities as such, though we believe them to be deficient in some respects, have been by no means deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Church. (UR 3)
In multiple other posts (most recently, HERE), we have taken a deep dive into this erroneous conciliar proposition – namely, that the communities of the schismatics and heretics "as such" (meaning, as communities) are a means of salvation – so we will not do so here.
Note very well, however, to what the Council credits for the allegedly salvific nature of the many thousands of non-Catholic communities that dot the landscape: It is the operation of the Spirit of Christ, the same Holy Spirit that immutable Catholic doctrine describes as He who "unites, quickens, teaches, indwells in the Church and sanctifies her, communicating the riches of the one to the others." (cf Ott).
The Church is the solitary Ark of Salvation due to the presence of the Spirit who sanctifies her and allows her, like a Holy Mother, to serve as the means of salvation for her members.
If the Council's claims were true, however, then Jorge's description of the Holy Spirit as the "author of division" would be entirely justified inasmuch as division is a hallmark of the Protestant sects, each having its own particular liturgical ideas, its own doctrinal beliefs, its own notions of what is required for salvation, etc.
It must be admitted that the same can largely be said of the conciliar church wherein individual Novus Ordo parishes frequently feature a liturgy that is as unique as its "presider" and its pastor, men who have, and teach, their own ideas (all too often heterodox) about what constitutes Christian faith and morals.
Even if one were to appeal to the presence of a valid Eucharist (which, incidentally, the Orthodox Churches have), this cannot be the Catholic Church. Returning to Fr. Ott:
– Incompatible with the Catholic conception of the unity of Faith is the Protestant theory of the Fundamental Articles, which demand agreement in the basic truths of faith only, so that within the framework of the one Christian Church varying confessions of faith can exist side by side. (ibid.)
The bottom line is that the conciliar church and the heretical Protestant sects are indeed imbued with the operative presence of the very same spirit. Though each is pleased to profess that it is the Spirit of Christ, faithful Catholics know better; it is, in the words of the Roman Catechism, "the spirit of the devil."
At this, it is clear to me (and hopefully to you as well, dear reader) that the post conciliar ecclesial crisis is best comprehended as the fruit, not solely of a Christological heresy, but rather a Trinitarian heresy that preaches a Father who wills adultery and whose laws are too difficult for man to keep, a Jesus who is merely a man who willingly suffered apart from being a King who reigns over all men and all nations, and a Holy Ghost that is the author of division and confusion.
Nature abhors a vacuum, but fear not. The vacancy left by the demotion of Almighty God in the conciliar church has been filled:
"According to the almost unanimous opinion of believers and unbelievers alike, all things on earth should be related to man as their center and crown." (Vatican Council II, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, 12)

Fast fashion: Should we change how we think about clothes?
By Harriet Agerholm BBC News
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48682493
A lot of us love a bargain outfit - we buy fast, we buy cheap and we too often wear things once and then throw them out.
But "fast fashion" is a major contributor to greenhouse gases, water and air pollution, creates problematic levels of waste, and often comes with poor working conditions in other countries.
The Environmental Audit Committee demanded the government clean up the industry, making 18 recommendations covering environmental and labour practices. The government says it is dealing with the problem.
Here's what sustainable fashion experts say we can we do to reduce the harmful effects of our shopping habits.
1. Buying less is more
"The most important thing essentially is buying less," says Tolmeia Gregory, an environmental activist who blogs about ethical fashion under the name Tolly Dolly Posh.
She says we need to get rid of the whole culture of buying clothing for specific occasions, such as nights out and holidays

"At first people can get defensive. You can feel attacked," she says. "But we have to try our best to break through that and think of it as more of a hopeful thing."
Kate Fletcher, Professor of Sustainability, Design, Fashion at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, agrees. She says buying less clothing "is not at all some sort of devastating body blow".
She recommends going through your wardrobe and "noticing what you've already got that adds to the quality of your life".
"Many of us shop for things and realise it's the anticipation rather than the purchase that gives us satisfaction," she says.
Does tidiness really equal a clean mind?
Marie Kondo 'sparks joy' for charity shops
People experience "spikes of pleasure" when they are shopping, but are often uninterested in their purchases once they have them, she says.
"In studies where people report how happy they are, beyond a level of consumption where the basic needs have been met, every additional new purchase adds very little to people's wellbeing."
Aggressive marketing by clothing brands have "overridden this knowledge", she says.
"What we actually see now is that having more tends to undermine the sense of wellbeing.
"It is linked to isolation, higher levels of depression. It's actually making us less happy and less well connected."
2. Buy second hand
Ms Fletcher - who has written several books on sustainable fashion - says the High Street offers "a very restricted range of pieces that people are choosing from endlessly".
"If novelty and newness and change and variety is what you're interested in, there's much more to be gained through looking through things in your wardrobe or second hand purchases."
Image copyright Francesca Willow
Francesca Willow, who writes about sustainability on her blog, Ethical Unicorn, says: "Second hand is always the best option to look at first because it's extending the life of things that already exist.
She says some are put off by the idea of charity shops because they have something specific they are looking for, but second hand apps that let you tailor your searches, like Depop and Vinted, are helpful.
3. Choose natural materials
The sustainability blogger says people should avoid buying clothing made of virgin synthetic materials "at all costs".
"I look for hemp or linen and organic cotton that meets the Global Organic Textile Standard or [are part of the global programme] the Better Cotton Initiative - although they aren't perfect," she says.
And, she adds, we need to be extending the longevity of clothes. "It's about how you look after them - looking at the care instructions and washing them properly.
"Most people wash their clothes too hot - washing them colder reduces energy consumption as well."
When washing the synthetic fabrics you already own, use bags that catch the microfibres they release, as they can pollute the marine environment, she says.
The bags are "not a solution", but can be used "as mitigation to a problem we've already caused", she says.
4. Do your research
Before buying new clothing from a brand, Ms Willow says people should ask it where the item was made and by whom, she says.
"Choosing brands that use factories with certifications from organisations like the Fair Wear Foundation can be helpful as they provide some guarantee of proper wages", she says.
Many sustainability blogs have directories of more ethical brands that can also provide guidance, she says.
Quiz: Are your clothes damaging the environment?
Small changes you can make for a greener life
"It can feel like a bit of a Wild West, to be honest, and it can be a lot of work for the consumer. That's why we need systemic and policy change," she says.
"But it's easier to start with yourself. Learn the skills, then you can build it up, and it stops being overwhelming."

Suzuki issue GSX-S1000 recall
Suzuki have confirmed a recall of its GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F models. The recall affects 174 registered motorcycles in the UK, and has been instigated due to a radiator hose clearance concern.
Despite no reported issues in the UK, customer safety and satisfaction is the highest priority, and Suzuki has elected to commence a recall to fit a new component to avoid any potential issues in future.
Customers affected with officially imported and registered machines will receive a letter from Suzuki shortly after the modification parts arrive, advising them to contact their local authorised Suzuki dealership, who will carry out the fitment of the new component free of charge. The work will take less than one hour to complete.
For further enquiries, you can find your local Suzuki dealer at www.suzuki-gb.co.uk

VARIOUS: Eddie Murphy and his friends premiere new comedy "Norbit" in Los Angeles
Title: VARIOUS: Eddie Murphy and his friends premiere new comedy "Norbit" in Los Angeles
Summary: VARIOUS OF ACTOR KATT WILLIAMS STANDING NEXT TO MODEL CINDY MARGOLIS ON RED CARPET
Embargoed: 2nd March 2007 12:00
Reuters ID: LVAABH9LB6EAQ678YH5CLAVZME5T
Story Text: Eddie Murphy is enjoying all his success with a Oscar nomination for "Dreamgirls and the Los Angeles, California premiere of his new comedy "Norbit."
In "Norbit," Murphy slips into various disguises like he did in "The Nutty Professor," where he played an entire family - mama, papa, granny and grandpa.
"The movie is about it's a feel good love story about poor Norbit who misses out on his first and then finds it again its a thrilling story. It's Eddie Murphy playing three roles and Eddie Girffin and Marlon Wayans, and Cuba Gooding Jr., and Thandie Newton, and Terry crews, and footnote Katt Williams so I am pretty happy," said Katt Williams , who portrays 'Pimp Lord Have Mercy' in the film.
The title hero (played by Murphy as a fragile, luckless nerd) is an orphan who gets bullied into marrying the mountainous Rasputia also played by Murphy under mounds of prosthetic flesh, who proceeds to dominate him body and soul.
"His ability to reinvent himself over and over again. Think about it just recently we had a guy I think he lost it because he was doing all these family movies what they were forgetting to say is that all of his family movies were successful and now he switched it up and did this again so hey come on. The guy is showing that he can change clothes and keep it coming," said Charles Murphy, Eddie's brother and co-writer of "Norbit".
Life thereafter resembles a series of mental and physical humiliations until his childhood sweetheart Kate played by Thandie Newton shows up with plans to buy the local orphanage. Norbit's innocent love for her allows him to stand up to Rasputia's scheming brothers, who aim to turn the orphanage owned by Mr. Wong , also played by Murphy, into a strip joint.
"His energy, and he is bad, he is filthy, he is naughty and what is it about Eddie how can you encapsulate it in a sentence? Look at "Dreamgirls" just when you think you know what he is going to do... I am so happy for him because this is the time in your life when you start widening the net and start doing something different so it's great." said Thandie Newton, who wore a navy Fendi dress to the premiere.
Murphy, who conceived the story with his brother Charles, says that when he looks at himself in the hair and make up he doesnt recognize himself.
"I don't see me at all. I see those two characters I don't see me," Murphy told Reuters. After more than 25 years in the business, Murphy is enjoying the glory that has come his way for his role as as soul singer James "Thunder" Early in "Dreamgirls."
Murphy, originally from Brooklyn, New York, started his career at age 19 on "Saturday Night Live" creating infamous sketches such as "Gumby", and Buckwheat from "The Little Rascals."
The 45-year-old comedy star now finds himself the front-runner among this year's Oscar contenders for Best Supporting Actor.
Murphy's heroes include Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor, but to today's top comedic actors (some of whom he discovered) like Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle and "Norbit" co-star Katt Williams, no one is more deserving of the Oscar than Murphy.
"Eddie Muprhy is the finest actor of all time . Of all the time, in the history of this business this man. What else you need me to say? Oh he deserve several OScars not just this Oscar. The "Nutty Professor" Oscar and the "Bowfinger" Oscar too. Four of them at least." Following a run of blockbusters that include the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise, "48 Hrs" franchise, and "Delirious," Murphy found himself the No. 2 box office draw of the 1980's, second only to Harrison Ford. Murphy also has the distinction of having starred in more sequels than any other actor in Hollywood.
The actor's career, whose cumulative career box office grosses in the neighborhood of $3 billion (USD), has made many swerves from a meteoric rise that made him Hollywood's first black global box office star, through a dismal stretch of disappointments, capped by a surprising rebound in broad family comedies.
Murphy is known for his direct comedic style, infectious laugh and unstoppable talent leading him to take on numerous roles in films like the "Nutty Professor" franchise, "Dr. Doolittle", "Coming to America" and his new film "Norbit".
During the 1990's Murphy faced various personal and professional triumphs but his fortunes really turned around in 2006/2007 with the motion picture version of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls". Murphy appears alongside Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles, and fellow award winner Jennifer Hudson.
Murphy has already picked up numerous awards for this performance including a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and Screen Actors Guild Award.
Murphy's character in "Dreamgirls" is a dynamic, innovative soul belter who, despite his powerful voice and charismatic presence, has never managed to achieve the fame and respect he feels he deserves.
From Early's electrifying stage show to his offstage womanizing to his eventual drug-fueled breakdown, Murphy delivers a performance by turns fiery and wounded, triumphant and tragic--essentially, taking the spot-on James Brown impression he did years ago on Saturday Night Live and wringing out the laughs to reveal the underlying pain.
Though Murphy has joked that its about time he got a nomination he decided to let his friends do his campaigning when it comes to awards season.
"I told you I don't campaign. I am not campaigning," Murphy said with his famous laugh.

After viewing some of the VR Summit videos, it has been stressed that responding to inquiries within 5 minutes greatly enhances your opportunity to turn the request into a booking, and more importantly, it catches the guest while they are still on the computer searching out other VR.
I wonder if there is already or a way to link inquiries from VRBO/FK (when they come into my email), and send out an automated reply. The way it is now, I send a reply through the listing site dashboard saying...I am happy to have them and will be sending over another email with price breakdown and copy of my contract. It seems to be redundant and I prefer to implement an "automated response" that reaches them immediately. Before I research another website portal to do this, I thought I would check with you.
Hi Robin, yes it is very important to reply, in a meaningful way, as soon as possible to inquiries. Bookerville provides a way to do this automatically with our Auto-Responder feature, have you seen that?
thanks for the link, I will read it over and give it a try. Let you know if it does everything I need. Have a great weekend.
