Q: Difference equation with the annihilator method $y(n+2)-4y(n)=2^{n+3}-1$, $n\geq 0$ I want to find the general solution of the difference equation $y(n+2)-4y(n)=2^{n+3}-1$, $n\geq 0$ with the annihilator method. I can rewrite the left-hand side as $L(y)(n)$ where $L=\tau^2-4$ and $\tau$ is the backshift operator. But I do not know how to rewrite the right-hand side as a solution of some difference equation. Could someone help me out? Thanks in advance!

A: The right-hand side (RHS) is the linear superposition of $c_1 2^n$ and $c_2$ for constants $c_1$ and $c_2$. The annihilator for the RHS is $(\tau -2)\tau$, where $\tau$ is the timeshift operator. Like you said, the annihilator for the LHS (if the difference equation was homogenous) is $(\tau^2 - 4)$. Knowing that, we can make the original equation homogenous by multiplying the difference equation by the annihilator of the RHS: $(\tau-2)^2(\tau+2)\tau = 0$. The complete solution is $y(n) = a2^n + bn2^n + c(-2)^n + d$. The annihilator for the LHS corresponds to the homogenous solution $y_h(n) = a2^n + c(-2)^n$, leaving the particular solution $y_p(n) = bn2^n + d$. The coefficients $b$ and $d$ can be solved for, while $a$ and $c$ depend on initial conditions.

"Pieces of a Woman" Review
January 9, 2021 January 9, 2021 Santiago Rojas
Kornél Mundruczó latest film is about grief and womanhood. The film tasks itself with portraying one of the most magical things in life: childbirth. Society places a great deal of pressure on pregnant women to be perfect. But, what happens when childbirth goes wrong? Since pregnancy is a very public event, the loss of a child is as well. And when tragedy strikes, society is quick to cast blame.
The film begins with an incredible half-hour-long sequence of Vanessa Kirby giving birth. This prologue is so gripping and emotionally intense that it will surely leave you out of breath. But the problem with starting the film with such an intense performance is that it sets high expectations for the rest of the film. And while the film has a good grasp of its themes of grief and womanhood, it fails to sustain this momentum into its second and third acts. That is not to say the film lacks powerful scenes throughout and that it isn't compelling as a whole.
Vanessa Kirby and Ellen Burstyn in Pieces of a Woman
Pieces of a Woman's incredible performances might be its most compelling element. Its cast stars Vanessa Kirby, Ellen Burstyn, Benny Safdie, and Shia LaBeouf. Kirby and Burstyn stand-out. Kirby gives a towering performance as a grieving woman (one of the best of the year) that is surely headed to the Oscars. And Ellen Burstyn plays Kirby's mother in one of the best supporting performances we have seen in a while.
Pieces of a Woman is adeptly filmed, often featuring beautiful photography and thoughtful direction, but it ultimately feels incomplete. Time passes inconsequentially because of how many time jumps the film features, which creates a feeling that something was missed in the story. Too focused on moving the plot forward, the film feels almost mechanical. To complicate things further the film confuses by obscuring its location: constantly referring to Seattle while being filmed in Montreal and set in Massachusetts. But if you can ignore these jarring details, the performances and meticulously directed scenes are worth your time. The pieces of its puzzle are there even if they don't seem to fit together.

The purpose of the 3 sessions, is to allow the immediate issues to rise gently to the surface from the first session, and with the second and third sessions, we can start to look at the deeper ones that may need to be addressed, but not identified until we've started the process.
Each session is recorded and, if you are at a remote location, then I will be using a video conferencing tool called Zoom. You will receive an invitation to join Zoom via email and the call will commence from there. If we hold the session face to face, the session will still be recorded. All recordings will be sent via a link to Google Drive. The purpose of recording the sessions, is to allow you to go back and listen to the conversation, and you may well find that there are more snippets of wisdom, from both me and you, that will help with insights as you get clearer and clearer. Trust me… there will be loads of 'Ah Ha' moments.
The sessions go for 1.5hrs each and the package will be AU$600 (3 sessions) with AU$150 for further sessions, as and when needed.

Home Sports Basketball Austin's Crystal Ball: Where Will The NBA's Top Free Agents Land?
Austin's Crystal Ball: Where Will The NBA's Top Free Agents Land?
Austin Krell
After a successful trial in the All-Star Game, should the NBA adopt the Elam Ending in more meaningful games?
Like the pollen in the air, the rumors swirling NBA free agency are abundant as we transition from May to June. The free agent market opens at 6 PM on June 30th, and that's when the NBA's landscape will change for the foreseeable future. So, with free agency just over three weeks away, it is time to consult my crystal ball to figure out where the league's top free agents will land when all is said and done.
Leonard is the league's biggest enigma. No one can get an idea of what he's thinking because he doesn't talk. He just plays the game and keeps to himself. The one thing we think we know is that he has his eyes set on going home to Los Angeles. Yes, the Raptors can offer him a 5-year deal while any other team can only offer 4 years, but a person like Kawhi, who has been known to live a simple life, might forgo money to be where he wants to be. Part of me believes Kawhi's heart will always be in Los Angeles and that he wants to go home. But a bigger part of me believes he has grown to love the situation that he has with the Raptors, as well as the fanbase and city that has welcomed and loved him. How could you not love being one win away from an NBA championship? We saw Paul George adamantly express his intentions to go to his hometown of LA last summer only to fall in love with Oklahoma City. I think we see it again this summer, too. Prediction: 2 years and a player option in year 3 totaling $114 million with Raptors
Durant wants to prove that he is the league's top player. He thought he did it when he carried the Warriors to two consecutive championships in the seasons immediately following his joining the franchise. But, people contest that the support of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green has made it nearly impossible for them to lose. Thus, Durant still takes the backseat to LeBron James and now, in my opinion, Kawhi Leonard. In addition to Durant preserving his own image, all rumors and reports point to him departing from Golden State.
So, that's one of the league's three most marketable players looking for a team on which he can be the undisputed leader. The Knicks, Nets, and Lakers have been thought of as the primary contenders for Durant's services. However, there was no traction to corroborate reports that Durant would be interested in joining the purple and gold, and those rumors quickly faded. That leaves the Knicks and Nets in the battle for Kevin Durant. The Knicks offer the allure of New York City and its market (although so does Brooklyn), a head coach in David Fizdale that players around the league love, a pair of promising young players in Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson, the 3rd overall pick in this summer's draft, and the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. Yes, the franchise is in a state of dysfunction, but I'm going to follow the clues that have been laid out since we re-opened the discussion of Durant's next move. Prediction: 2 years and a player option in year 3 totaling $111 million with Knicks
The Knicks, Nets, and Lakers have all been rumored to be in on Kyrie Irving. It was recently reported that the Nets were the more likely New York team to land Irving's services, as it was rumored that the two parties had mutual interest in one another. The Lakers seemed viable after LeBron and Irving reconciled their relationship this past season, but a recent bombshell story from ESPN cast a dark cloud over the Lakers' management. I don't believe any marquee free agent wants to be a part of the chaos in that organization. That leaves the Nets. Adding fuel to the speculation, it was reported that Irving recently purchased a property in South Orange, New Jersey. The writing is on the wall. Prediction: 2 years and a player option in year 3 totaling $105 million with Nets
Walker has a decision to make this summer — take less money to put himself in the best position to win a title elsewhere, or continue to be the face of the Charlotte Hornets. Months ago, on J.J. Redick's podcast, Walker stated that he wanted to stay in Charlotte for the rest of his career. It appears those feelings haven't changed, as, two days ago, it was reported that Walker was focused on re-signing with the Hornets. He wants to stay and build what he's started in Charlotte. I can't blame him for that. Prediction: 5 years, $175 million with Hornets
Tracking Butler has been exhausting. The Nets, Knicks, and Lakers have all been rumored to be in on Butler, while the Sixers have to decide whether they want to give Butler a fifth year on a max contract. It was rumored that Butler would quickly sign with the Lakers if they offered him a max contract. That rumor has cooled dramatically. In recent days, everything has pointed towards Butler re-signing with the Sixers. Further, given what the Sixers gave up in assets to acquire Butler and Harris, failing to retain at least one of them would be disastrous for the Sixers. The truth is that Philadelphia has put itself in a situation with only one solution — give one of Butler and Harris whatever they want, and I think Butler has proven that he's the worthy one. Prediction: 5 years, $190 million with 76ers
This one is very simple. The Warriors were great before they brought in Kevin Durant because of the pairing and selflessness of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. One of their All-NBA talents is destined to leave this summer, but I would be baffled if the Warriors let two walk away. They likely will get this done fast. Prediction: 5 years, $190 million with Warriors
This is a very difficult situation for the Milwaukee Bucks and a very good situation for Khris Middleton. The primary outside suitor for Middleton appears to be the Mavericks. That makes sense to me, a great spot-up fit to pair with Doncic who has the versatility to play shooting guard through power forward. However, I think Milwaukee, fearing that their core that won 60 games could fall apart if they don't fork out the money, will do whatever it takes to retain Middleton's services, even if it's a massive overpay. Prediction: 5 years, $150 million with Bucks
Nikola Vucevic
Vucevic is coming off a career year (20.8 points and 12 rebounds per game) in Orlando in which he was awarded his first all-star selection and led the team to its first playoff appearance since 2012. Outside of the Magic, there will be numerous suitors for Vucevic's services, although it is unclear which franchises will enter the race for the 28-year-old center. I suspect the Lakers, Kings, and Mavericks will be amongst the primary teams involved, but I believe he loves his situation in Orlando, and I believe the Magic and the city of Orlando love him, too. Those in on Vucevic will be interested, but not interested enough to offer him $140 million. Prediction: 5 years, $150 million with the Magic
D'Angelo Russell
Russell came into his own as the leader of the Nets after being traded from LA to Brooklyn two summers ago. He was named an all-star for the first time (albeit as a replacement for the injured Victor Oladipo), averaging 21 points and 7 rebounds. With the Nets destined to land Kyrie Irving, Russell has a decision to make — split primary ball-handler duties with Kyrie and form an elite backcourt, or go elsewhere and become the undisputed point guard. Having recently stated in an interview with the New York Post's Brian Lewis that he would rather go to battle with this season's roster again than change anything, there is quiet speculation that Russell could depart from Brooklyn. Add the fact that the Jazz, Magic, Timberwolves, and Pacers are rumored to be targeting Russell, and it becomes very viable that his time in Brooklyn might be ending.
However, I believe that he is very happy in Brooklyn. He is a focal point in the offense, they utilize him heavily in the pick-and-roll so that he can maximize his skills and production as a scorer and passer, and head coach Kenny Atkinson has developed Russell into an all-star. Yes, it may be an adjustment period. No, he won't be the primary scoring option anymore. But, staying with the Nets and teaming up with Kyrie Irving will allow him to play more shooting guard, a position that he may excel in as a natural scorer. Everyone has to sacrifice in order to win, and Russell may find that he likes the role he is shifted to better, anyway. Yes, Russell is a restricted free agent, but I believe the Nets will match any offer that the other suitors send his way. Prediction: 4 years, $110 million with Nets
Tobias Harris
Harris is in a very interesting predicament — he had an all-star-level two-thirds of a season with the Clippers before being traded to the 76ers. His one-third of a season with the Sixers was very lukewarm. The Sixers, having given up a heavy load of assets to acquire Harris, might feel cornered into giving Harris a max contract. But, Harris has been rumored to not have loved his role with the Sixers and, thus, may look to go elsewhere. The Nets, Mavericks, Pacers, Kings, and Jazz are all reportedly going to pursue Harris this summer. It then comes down to his desired role and destination — Would he rather be one of the two primary options on offense, or would he accept being anything between the second and fourth option on a game-to-game basis? Would he rather be able to wear shorts most days, or is he fine with wearing winter jackets?
I believe that the idea of making max money as the undisputed secondary option is very attractive to Harris. I also think that the situation in Indiana makes a lot of sense for him — the pairing of Harris and Oladipo could be an explosive 1-3 or 1-4 punch, and it is easy to envision Nate McMillan running high pick-and-pops for Harris game in and game out. Prediction: 4 years, $136 million with Pacers
Kristaps Porzingis
This is a very difficult situation for the Dallas Mavericks. They gave up a few serviceable role players and Dennis Smith, Jr. to acquire a disgruntled Porzingis a week before the trade deadline this season. The fourth overall pick in the 2015 draft missed all of this season recovering from a torn ACL and has recently received negative attention for a slew of off-the-court incidents. I'm not going to assume that Porzingis has a character issue, but it certainly is worth wondering if there is some trouble with Kristaps Porzingis, the person. If that isn't pause for concern enough, no one knows what Porzingis, the player, will be after this injury.
Whatever concern the Mavericks have, they gave away numerous pieces to get Porzingis, and his skill at 7'3″ is irreplaceable. Additionally, they could allow themselves to escape the contract by raising the annual salary to satisfy Porzingis and designating a final year as a team option to protect themselves, should things go awry. Yes, Porzingis is a restricted free agent and the Mavericks appear unequivocally determined to keep him, but, similar to the max extension that Joel Embiid signed with the Sixers, there will likely be technical clauses in his contract to protect the Mavericks should Porzingis become injury-plagued. Prediction: 3 years and a team option in year 4 totaling $120 million with Mavericks
Coming off of a torn achilles, DeMarcus Cousins signed a 1-year deal with Golden State in hopes of coming back in the latter half of the season to help ignite the Warriors to a third consecutive championship while also proving that he was healthy enough to earn a significant long-term deal somewhere, as no one was biting on a long-term contract after the achilles injury. He proved that he could still score and dominate the glass. However, it is worrisome that his 3-point percentage and free throw percentage declined, as it is evidence that he might've lost that "burst" from the feet that push the shot up through the body. It is also very concerning that Cousins was unplayable in close games because he could not muster the foot speed or agility to stay with his man on defense. Furthermore, Cousins tore his quad in the first round of the playoffs, adding greater damage to an already very questionable lower body. Through all of that, Cousins is still a force in the paint. He still has the upper body strength and skill to return to his old dominance under the basket. He might've lost some of the shooting ability he had developed, but we won't know that until he plays a more consistent season in the future.
No one will give him max money, even if he is a max skillset. For a long time, I had it in my mind that the Wizards would give Cousins a deal in hopes of channeling a pick-and-roll game with Bradley Beal and maybe re-discovering Boogie's greatness at a cheap price. But, the Wizards appear to be on the verge of tearing it down for a rebuild. So, with the Warriors likely to lose Durant, they can use some of that money to keep Cousins around for a few more years while also having a great solution at the center position for the first time in their reign of dominance. What makes this situation so enticing is that, if Cousins can stay healthy, the Warriors may be able to extend their championship reign for a few more seasons, especially when factoring in that they will be able to add depth that they haven't had since signing Durant. If Cousins can't get back to his old self, they at least have a sizable upgrade even at a bit of an overpay. No matter what, I can't imagine they'd be worse off by re-signing Cousins. Prediction: 3 years, $24 million with Warriors
If the Bucks were smart, they would let Khris Middleton walk in free agency and extend Brogdon while adding elite role players to their core, so that they can extend Giannis Antetokounmpo next summer while also building a giant window for themselves to contend for a championship. But, Milwaukee is going to overpay its second all-star out of fear that the core could crumble if they let him depart, and that likely means that, if he wants a big payday, Malcolm Brogdon is going to have to go elsewhere to get it. The ultra-efficient Brogdon can float between a starting role and a bench role and excel at either. This means that there are a slew of teams in need of a starting or secondary shooting guard that could be interested in Brogdon. I believe that the Dallas Mavericks, currently lacking a viable shooting guard off their bench, could be willing to spend money to add Brogdon's elite role player skillset to their payroll. Even with Porzingis signing an extension, they would only have about $85 million on the books; that is ample space to bring in an excellent bench piece like Brogdon. Prediction: 3 years, $45 million with Mavericks
Al Horford
This is a very interesting situation to watch this summer. Al Horford has a big decision make — opt into his $30 million player option with the Celtics or restructure to add more years. Obviously, Horford's play doesn't warrant a $30 million payday, so he could opt in and secure one last huge payday while averaging 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds. With that huge payday comes uncertainty about his future past 2019-20, and that may not be attractive to Big Al. Alternatively, he could opt to restructure his contract to secure his future in Boston for the foreseeable future and receive smaller cash flows each season. My guess is that Horford, who is regarded as one of the most intelligent players in the league, would sacrifice the huge payday for additional years in Boston. Prediction: Restructure $30 million player option into 3 years, $54 million with Celtics
Gasol is not thinking about his future right now — he's a little busy trying to help the Raptors win their first championship in franchise history. But when he's done with that, he has a decision to make similar to Horford. Does he want to opt into his $22.6 million player option with the Raptors and spend another year in his mid-30s on a team that will be rebuilding if Kawhi Leonard leaves? Does he want to opt out and decide where his future will be, albeit at a not-quite-as-rich salary? Does he want to restructure his contract and extend his stay in Toronto at lesser annual cash flows? Mind you, there is no question that Gasol will have to take less money — his production has declined each of the past two seasons. I believe that Gasol will wait for Kawhi's decision. Prediction: If Leonard re-signs, Gasol will restructure his contract into 2 years, $30 million with Raptors; If Leonard leaves, Gasol will sign a 2-year, $28 million deal with Kings
After the Lakers let him walk after just one season with the club, Lopez signed a 1-year deal with the Bucks to provide stretch-5 capability to create space for Giannis Antetokounmpo to attack the basket. The Bucks got way more than the $3.3 million they paid him, as Lopez transformed into a catch-and-shoot sniper that spread the floor for the rest of his teammates and allowed Giannis to turn in an MVP-caliber season with the paint unclogged. Lopez has earned himself a hefty payday, and the fit in Milwaukee is perfect. Yes, Lopez will require a raise, but that shouldn't be a problem with Milwaukee letting one of Middleton and Brogdon walk. Prediction: 2 years and a player option in year 3 totaling $58 million with Bucks
Julius Randle
Julius Randle's production has increased every season that he's been in the NBA. On a 1-year deal with the Pelicans, he averaged a career-high 21.4 points and 8.7 rebounds (most he's averaged since his first full season). Taking those numbers to negotiations, Randle will almost certainly decline his $8.857 million player option in search of a better deal. I expect the Nets, Suns, Mavericks, and Pelicans to be amongst the primary suitors for Randle. The Nets make a lot of sense, but they will likely look to spend big money elsewhere before turning to Randle. The Mavericks will likely want to look at more cost-efficient options after extending Porzingis and signing Brogdon. The Pelicans would make a compelling case for re-upping with Randle if they weren't destined to select Zion Williamson with the first overall pick in this summer's draft. Williamson's presence makes it very difficult for me to imagine Randle sticking around, as they have very similar bodies, fairly similar skillsets, and play the same positions.
That leaves the Suns. Phoenix is projected to select guard Jarrett Culver with the sixth pick in the draft. That selection would slide Devin Booker over to the point guard spot, insert Culver into the shooting guard spot, slide Mikal Bridges in at small forward, leaving power forward unoccupied. Insert Randle, who can provide highly-efficient scoring (56.3% true shooting) and very good defensive rebounding (6.7 per game for his career) to the league's worst defensive rebounding team this season. This fit makes too much sense not to come to fruition. Prediction: 3 years, $36 million with Suns
Paul Millsap
It would be concerning if the Nuggets exercised Millsap's $30 million team option after consecutive seasons of declining numbers and a disappointing performance in Denver's game 7 upset loss in the second round of this year's playoffs. Rather than continue to pay for something that hasn't worked, I would expect the Nuggets to allow Millsap to walk. The market demand for a stretch-4 is always high, and that is why I still expect Millsap to get paid by a team looking to take the next step in its playoff aspirations. Enter the Indiana Pacers — a team with an exceptional point guard looking to add stretch forwards who can play small forward, power forward, and small-ball center. Adding Millsap to a team with a healthy Oladipo could make some noise if the top-heavy East takes a step backwards next season. Prediction: 2 years, $30 with Pacers
Bogdanovic had an excellent contract season with the Pacers, averaging career highs in points and 3-point percentage. At 6'8″, Bogdanovic has the ability to knock down outside looks while also having the basketball IQ to cut when the lane is there. His fundamental knowledge of offense and his numbers fall in line with the Popovich-ian history of European wings. Considering that the Spurs run their offense through DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, neither of whom are proficient long-range shooters, it may be time to update the offense. The Spurs are living in 2011, and while they are a playoff team with this offense, they are only surviving two weeks past the regular season with the roster as currently designed. Maybe it's time to bring in a wing who can stretch the floor. Prediction: 3 years, $54 million with Spurs
Marcus Morris
Every franchise needs a Marcus Morris — a stretch-4 who can create off the dribble, attack the basket unintimidated, and get dirty. Morris has the junkyard dog personality, but is more skilled than the typical junkyard dog. While his fit with the Celtics was perfect with Kyrie Irving there, I can't see the Celtics wanting to allocate over $15 million to a player who doesn't have star potential when Irving inevitably departs. So, what other team with young, high-potential players could use a gritty veteran who can play small forward, power forward, and small-ball center while also shooting above 36% from 3-point territory? I can already hear it — "IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T LIKE KINGS BASKETBALL!" Prediction: 3 years, $48 million with Kings
Thaddeus Young
Thad thrives in environments where he can "physical" his way into 15 points. Not one of the top three options on a great team, but certainly one of the biggest contributors on a good team. Ideally, he'll hit a few fifteen-foot jumpers, a handful of floaters from just inside the free throw line, and the rest will come with exquisite footwork around the rim. The intangible offering he brings to a good team is screen-setting. As a 6'8″ power forward, Young's physicality comes from the body he's built himself. With that strength and mass comes the ability to set excellent screens for shooters. Enter the Denver Nuggets, a below-average 3-point shooting team that went cold in game 7 as the Blazers rallied to win on the road. For Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Will Barton, and maybe another shooter (*wink wink*), Thaddeus Young becomes the perfect offseason addition to a team whose 3-point shooting cost them a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Prediction: 1 year, $14 million with Nuggets
J.J. Redick
Redick's situation is very interesting because, although his shooting declined a bit this season and his defense took a turn for the worst, he is still one of the three biggest catalysts that makes the Sixers' offense nearly unstoppable at its best. Let's think about how Redick has his highest chance to succeed as a player — monstrous screens from his big, crisp passes from an elite distributor, and fast-paced systems. The bottom line is that Redick needs Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Brett Brown's offense at least as much as the Sixers need him. Prediction: 2 years, $18 million with 76ers
Danny Green
With Kawhi Leonard and Marc Gasol returning, there has to be an odd man out, as sad as it may be for some to see this Raptors team be broken up in any way. The fact is that if both Leonard and Gasol return, there's no way the Raptors can keep Green and maintain a palatable tax bill. Green will have to be the odd man out. Remember how I said the Nuggets need a spot-up marksman for Thaddeus Young to set screens? Well, here he is! Prediction: 2 years, $24 million with Nuggets
DeAndre Jordan
Even with Kevin Durant coming to town, the Knicks are going to need all the veteran leadership they can get to lead a team full of youngsters. I also have a theory that if Jordan wanted out of New York, he would've asked for a buyout when he was first traded to the Knicks. If the intangibles Jordan provides and my theories aren't enough, the Knicks allowed nearly 51 points in the paint per game this season. Jordan's efficient scoring and paint defense is something that the Knicks could absolutely benefit from retaining as they attempt to rebuild, especially with the gargantuan cap space they have at their disposal. Prediction: 2 years, $36 million with Knicks
If you can lock your man up and shoot over 37% from 3-point territory, the Sixers want you. T.J. McConnell is a wonderful player for Philly. He's gritty, he gives maximum energy and effort every time he steps onto the court, and he has a great personality. But, he isn't a threat from beyond the arc and he is simply too small to be a consistent factor on the defensive end. He's going to get more money than the Sixers can afford to pay him, and, thus, it is time to move on. What better a replacement than Pat Beverley? He is a career 38% 3-point shooter and is one of the most respected defensive point guards in the NBA. With his touch from beyond the arc, he would create new wrinkles in the Sixers' offense that could feature Jimmy Butler as a shooting guard and Ben Simmons as a power forward. Alternatively, the Sixers could rest Butler for more than three minutes and let Beverley be the shooting guard. It fits like a glove. Prediction: 3 years, $36 million with 76ers
Rudy Gay
Rudy Gay has found a home after a few years of moving around the NBA. He has been integral in the Spurs' success in each of the last two seasons, and his length, athleticism, and shooting touch have allowed them to be versatile on both offense and defense. There is reportedly mutual interest in Gay returning to San Antonio, and I don't see why he wouldn't. It's been a great match for both parties. Prediction: 1 year, $11 million with Spurs
Terry Rozier
Scary Terry looked poised for a breakout season after how well he played when Kyrie Irving was sidelined for the 2017-18 playoffs, but he just never found his groove. Whatever caused it, Rozier was inefficient in his scoring and was just flat out bad. With Irving almost certain to be departing, Rozier will have an opportunity to prove that the hype wasn't unwarranted. As for the Celtics, there is a sizable chance that Rozier could be a fringe-all-star player, and they wouldn't have to pay over $20 million per year to have him. It's worth a gamble for the Celtics, whose future is very uncertain as it is. If Kyrie isn't there, I'm confident Rozier will stay. Prediction: 4 years, $60 million with Celtics
Although wildly inconsistent as a Hornet, Lamb was a lock to contribute 15 points and 5 rebounds on a nightly basis. With his 3-and-D ability, he could be the first semi-sensible signing the Lakers have made since landing LeBron James last summer. While his 3-point percentage was unimpressive, I think it would improve with a player like LeBron James running the offense. And at this point, bringing in Jeremy Lamb is better than walking away empty-handed. Prediction: 2 years, $32 million with Lakers
Ross is quite literally a perfect bench piece for any championship contender. He has the athleticism and size to attack the basket and be versatile on defense, is an excellent 3-point shooter, and can contribute fifteen points on any given night. He is expensive, yes. But, if they add him to the mix, the Sixers will have strengthened their bench enough to become the favorites to win the East. Prediction: 2 year, $34 million with 76ers
Mirotic was ineffective in the Bucks' playoff run, but his averages suggest that he can be the role player that can push a team from the 5th seed to the 4th seed. There are numerous teams that can use his stretch-4 value. But with the Nets seemingly prepared to spend a large sum of money on a pair of guards, they need to add a skilled role player at the forward position to help balance out their slew of guards. Mirotic is expensive, but he would make the Nets much more difficult to defend. Prediction: 1 year, $20 million with Nets
Ricky Rubio excels in situations that provide him a backcourt mate who can shoot and at least one frontcourt player whom he can lob to for easy dunks. With the Pelicans slated to take the high-flying Zion Williamson with the first overall pick in this month's draft, they are a viable destination for Rubio. No, Rubio is not a good shooter. But with the Pelicans likely to deal Anthony Davis, it is time to re-think their roster construction. It is no longer about surrounding Davis with shooters. It is about putting Zion Williamson in the best situation to succeed as a rookie, and I don't think that means putting the ball in his hands every time the Pelicans have possession. An exceptional passer like Rubio could be integral to a great rookie season for Williamson. And who knows, with the proper return on a Davis trade and Jrue Holiday as the team's leader, it might just work out anyway. Prediction: 1 year, $13 million with Pelicans

FIRE > Newsdesk > Now I'm Offended
Now I'm Offended
by Jake Summerhays
(Jake Summerhays is a senior majoring in Political Science at Columbia University. He is a 2008 FIRE summer intern.)
To be honest, I was caught off guard on that first day of class. I was offended, and for a moment, I considered whether it was going to be beneficial for me—academically or spiritually—to remain in the class. Being a good Mormon boy (or at least making my best efforts), I had been taught that there are some words you just don't say. I had also never come across a teacher in all my years of schooling who routinely used profanity, much less used it multiple times in the first 15 minutes of the first session of class. Professor Parent, recognizing that his style of teaching potentially could offend some of the 150 students in the room, paused after uttering a few choice words and stated, "Just by way of warning, I curse a little bit more than basic cable. If you can't handle that for whatever reason, I suggest that you find another class, because I am not going to change."
Sure, the language was arguably unnecessary and the apology insincere, maybe bordering on being insulting. But in spite of this start, both he and I—and the TAs and the rest of the students—recognized the professor's right to free speech. I decided to stay in the class; after all, I hadn't let occasional vulgarity stop me from watching basic cable. Professor Parent delivered on his promise: every lecture was garnished with a few "f-bombs" and other choice words. But in the end, I had a great academic experience. Professor Parent challenged not only our preconceived notions of American history and politics, but also the way in which we were accustomed to learning.
You can imagine my initial shock, therefore, when I heard that Brandeis University Professor Donald Hindley was declared guilty of racial harassment for using the term "wetbacks" in his Latin American Politics class. What makes this story even more ridiculous is that Professor Hindley was not using the word to single out a student or to demean Mexicans in general; rather, he was critiquing the use of the word. But the mere utterance was enough to offend a student who later complained to the administration.
Now, I do not personally blame the student. As a college student, I realize that we are some of the most sensitive people in the world. Some of us believe think that a passing comment, even one taken completely out of context, somehow constitutes a personal attack—an episode of harassment so vicious that we are unable to bear the burden of being in the classroom any longer. Okay, maybe I do blame the student. But I blame the Brandeis administration even more. This administration's mission statement declares that Brandeis University is a "center of open inquiry and teaching" that "renews the American heritage of academic freedom." However, it appears that "open inquiry and teaching" does not extend to faculty members innocuously using words that are later taken out of context by hypersensitive students. By catering to false accusations of discrimination and harassment, instead of promoting open inquiry and teaching, the administration of Brandeis has created an environment (a "center of forbidden inquiry?") where people should fear and second-guess all things they say, which ultimately limits the potential of discourse and the quality of education their university can offer.
Brandeis' hypocrisy is very disturbing and reflects a growing trend of oversensitivity and political correctness that approaches ubiquity on college campuses today. By limiting speech on college campuses, Brandeis and other universities where censorship is common also limit the ways in which students may learn and grow as people. Instead of preparing their students to excel in the real world, they are creating narrow-minded wimps who complain about anything they confront whose meaning can be skewed to seem even slightly offensive. And that offends me.

The roof, the whole roof and nothing but the roof? Rare Triumph convertible used by police in the 1960s goes on sale for £40,000
Triumph TR4 owned by Southend-on-Sea constabulary in 1962
Police version had a Pye radio, Winkworth bell, air horns and windscreen-mounted, hand-operated lamp... but no seatbelts
'Fast pursuit' car would have clocked up 1,000 miles a week
By Nick Enoch

These days, police officers are likely to respond to emergencies in a modest Vauxhall Astra or Ford Focus.
But back in the Sixties, one cool constabulary got its hands on a fashionable Triumph convertible to catch criminals.
Now, a TR4 acquired by Southend-on-Sea County Borough police in 1962 is expected to sell for a staggering £40,000 at auction.

The nimble sports car, with a top speed of around 110mph, was ideal for pursuing bank robbers who tried to get away in their powerful but heavy Jaguar cars.
The Triumph was supplied to the force with a number of modifications including a Pye radio, Winkworth bell, air horns and windscreen-mounted, hand-operated lamp.
Running out of road: Classic cars like the Allegro, Montego,... Cadillacs and teddy girls turn back the clock at beach...
Unlike today's gaudy panda cars, the only police markings were a discreet sign on the front grille and a stop sign on the boot.
But one thing it didn't have was seatbelts - with one officer once describing the time he 'hung on to the underside of the seat whilst in fast pursuit'.
The Triumph was supplied to the force with a number of modifications including a Pye radio, Winkworth bell, air horns and windscreen-mounted, hand-operated lamp
The car, which has been fully restored to showroom condition, is owned by a Somerset enthusiast who has enlisted Historics Auctions to offer it for sale.
Historics, which describe the Triumph as 'exceptional and rare', has given the convertible an estimate of between £35,000 and £40,000.
The car is so well known that toy maker Vanguard made a limited edition toy model - complete with '4100HJ' registration plate - which can now be bought on eBay for £15.
John Williams, from Historics, said: 'It is in beautiful condition and is a very interesting car which will get you into many classic events.
Eventually retired from service in the 1970s, the car was last sold to its current owner in 1991 who decided to restore it to original police specification
'The TR4 is one of those cars which really needs to be seen. It is a genuine period police car.
'Standard police cars were normally saloons but the odd force would buy something different. This is probably the only one left.'
The TR4, a 'fast pursuit car', would be used for two shifts every day, clocking up around 1,000 miles each week.
One winter, amid considerable snow and ice, a call came in from Southend Hospital to deliver an urgent drug from London.
Unlike today's gaudy panda cars, the only police markings were a discreet sign on the front grille and a stop sign on the boot. Above, a proud Southend officer stands next to the car in the 1960s
There were no helicopters available in those days, so the TR4 was pressed into service and the journey was completed in double quick time despite the conditions.
When the weather was good, officers would take advantage of its convertible roof and drive around with the top down while wearing their helmets with chin straps in place.
Eventually retired from service in the 1970s, the car was last sold to its current owner in 1991 who decided to restore it to original police specification.
It is being sold with a large history file which includes a copy of Advanced Driving Explained by Inspector W H Jobson, priced at one shilling and sixpence, with a picture of 4100 HJ on the cover.
The Triumph is one of around 100 classic cars which will be sold at the Historics sale, which takes place at Brooklands, in Weybridge, Surrey, on June 1.

Contrarian Leadership & The Entrepreneur — The Intertwine Group, LLC.
I often interview and share the stories of entrepreneurial leaders. I feel that their stories are our best teachers. Reading about the experience of others in their own words is powerful and usually does a better job of informing us. But, in this article, I am going to depart from that because I feel I have an important lesson to share, and the teachers are our elected officials.
Leadership comes in many packages. There are visionary leaders, servant leaders, charismatic leaders, and more. But, it my opinion, the most difficult and often the rarest form is the contrarian leader. This is a person who as a member of an aligned tribe is willing to speak truth to power even when doing so can put their own best interest at risk.
What we are all witnessing today is the vacuum created by the relative absence of this form of leadership. It is much easier and expected to resist from outside of the tribe. Democrats resist Republicans and Republicans resist Democrats. The contrarian leader is the one that resists within the tribe. On either side of the aisle we are hard-pressed to find any who are willing to do just that. Oddly, that absence creates more divisiveness because it polarizes the voices being heard.
Back in my days as an executive, I valued the contrarian in the room who would willingly challenge the group's thinking. There were times that I reacted poorly, found myself frustrated by the need to explain my rationale. But for every one of those times, that same contrarian saved me from taking the team down the wrong path. Every idea is fallible and comes with unintended consequences. The contrarian gives voice to that even when doing so is deeply unpopular.
The good news? I see this as a teachable moment. As entrepreneurs, we must be willing to be contrarian leaders. We can't disrupt and innovate by simply going along with tribe. By its nature, entrepreneurship requires a different world view. We are solving problems that others haven't and meeting unmet needs that have been left unfulfilled. By our nature, we are disagreeing with the common wisdom. Entrepreneurship is a form or radical leadership. In my mind, it is entrepreneurs who will be the agents of change.
We can help teach the leaders of our country to speak truth to power. Helping them become the contrarian leaders we so desperately need in this current political climate. At least one can hope and to hope is contrarian.

Q: Counting rows in SQL stament using grouping by incremnental variables Table I'm trying to get analytical result from  is voice calls record. Each call (one row) has duration in seconds (just int value, not datetime). I'm trying to get number of records grouped by 15 seconds spans like this:
+-------------------+
|Period | Count     |
+-------------------+
| 0-15  | 213421    |
|15-30  | 231123    |
|30-45  | 1234      |
+-------------------+

Starts of period is 0, end is 86400.
I've tried some combinations with setting variables for start and end and then incrementing them by 15, but i'm not very successful, and i can't understand what is going wrong.
Please help out. Thank you!

A: The following query fits your needs:
SELECT
  (duration - duration % 15),
  COUNT(*)
FROM
  call
GROUP BY
  (duration - duration % 15)
ORDER BY
  1;

You can also add some string formatting, in case you need the output exactly as you described it:
SELECT
  (duration - duration % 15)::text || '-' || (duration - duration % 15 + 15)::text,
  COUNT(*)
FROM
  call
GROUP BY
  (duration - duration % 15)
ORDER BY
  1;

A: In MySQL:
SELECT  CONCAT(span * 15, '-', span * 15 + 15), COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM    (
        SELECT  v.*, FLOOR(period / 15) AS span
        FROM    voice_calls v
        ) q
GROUP BY
        span

UPDATE:
The solution you posted will work, assuming there will always be more than 5760 rows.
But you better create a dummy rowset of 5760 rows and use it in OUTER JOIN:
CREATE TABLE spans (span INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);

INSERT
INTO    spans
VALUES  (0),
        (1),
        ...
        (5759)

SELECT  span * 15, COUNT(*)
FROM    spans
LEFT JOIN
        calls
ON      call.duration >= span * 15
        AND call.duration < span * 15 + 15
GROUP BY
        span

It will be more efficient and sane, as it can neither underflow (if less than 5760 rows in calls), nor take to much time if there are millions of rows there.

A: I think a query like this should work; You'll have to pivot the results yourself on the display though (eg, this query gets the results horizontally, you'll have to display them vertically):
SELECT
    SUM(CASE WHEN CallLength BETWEEN 0 AND 15 THEN CallLength ELSE 0 END) AS ZeroToFifteen,
    SUM(CASE WHEN CallLength BETWEEN 16 AND 30 THEN CallLength ELSE 0 END) AS FifteenToThirty
FROM CallTable

But after re-reading the question, putting case statements up to 86400 is probably out of the question...  Oh well :)

A: This worked at last:
SET @a:=-15, @b:=0;
SELECT  t.start_time, t.end_time, count(c.duration)
FROM    calls c,
        (
        SELECT  (@a:=@a+15) as start_time, (@b:=@b+15) as end_time
        FROM    `calls`
        GROUP BY
                 cdr_id
        ) as t
WHERE   c.duration BETWEEN t.start_time and t.end_time
GROUP BY
        t.start_time, t.end_time


As I was working with my friendly Consultant to get ready for the party, she told me she needed my friends' and families' addresses to send out invitations.
"Can't I just send invites via email or Facebook?" I said. That just seemed so much easier to me. I don't want to have to worry about mailing invitations! I'm too busy.
Well duh! I knew this! This is what we do every day for our Audiology & Hearing Care clients.
But it was refreshing to hear from the "Purse Lady".
We see this over and over again with our hearing care clients across the country. Direct mail drives the most traffic in the hearing aid industry, especially when it's with an invitation style. However, I have always felt strongly that this was mainly because of the Senior market that we target.
It was re-assuring to here that Thirty-One – one of the most popular and fast growing direct sell companies out there – is using many of the same tactics that we recommend for our clients. Even though the target market is for the mid-20s to mid-40 busy and working moms (like myself), an invitation sent in the mail is still stronger than an email or social media post.
And they really know what they are doing. I am addicted to these bags and organizers. It's kind of ridiculous. If you talk to Alex, he'll tell you the same. (Also give him a little sympathy for dealing with my Thirty-One addiction).
The proof is in the pudding… or purses. Direct mail works. It is still the best way to drive traffic to your door. Of course you need email, social media and web sites to remind your customers that you are out there and trustworthy, but keeping up your sales volume requires making direct mail an essential part of your marketing mix.


BACKGROUND:Based on the data from elective surgical patients, positioning patients in a back-up head-elevated position for preoxygenation and tracheal intubation can improve patient safety. However, data specific to the emergent setting are lacking. We hypothesized that back-up head-elevated positioning would be associated with a decrease in complications related to tracheal intubation in the emergency room environment.
METHODS:This retrospective study was approved by the University of Washington Human Subjects Division (Seattle, WA). Eligible patientsincluded all adults undergoing emergent tracheal intubation outside of the operating room by the anesthesiology-based airway service at 2 university-affiliated teaching hospitals. All intubations were through direct laryngoscopy for an indication other than full cardiopulmonary arrest. Patientcharacteristics and details of the intubation procedure were derived from the medical record. The primary study endpoint was the occurrence of a composite of any intubation-related complication: difficult intubation, hypoxemia, esophageal intubation, or pulmonary aspiration. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of the primary endpoint in the supine versus back-up head-elevated positions with adjustment for a priori-defined potential confounders (body mass index and a difficult intubation prediction score [Mallampati, obstructive sleep Apnea, Cervical mobility, mouth Opening, Coma, severe Hypoxemia, and intubation by a non-Anesthesiologist score]).
RESULTS:Five hundred twenty-eight patients were analyzed. Overall, at least 1 intubation-related complication occurred in 76 of 336 (22.6%)patients managed in the supine position compared with 18 of 192 (9.3%) patients managed in the back-up head-elevated position. After adjusting for body mass index and the Mallampati, obstructive sleep Apnea, Cervical mobility, mouth Opening, Coma, severe Hypoxemia, and intubation by a non-Anesthesiologist score, the odds of encountering the primary endpoint during an emergency tracheal intubation in a back-up head-elevatedposition was 0.47 (95% confidence interval, 0.26-0.83; P = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS:Placing patients in a back-up head-elevated position, compared with supine position, during emergency tracheal intubation was associated with a reduced odds of airway-related complications.

According to the report, gen Z is going to be lonely this Valentine's Day - and it's all their own fault.
Analysing the Tinder profile data of more than 400 18- to 22-year-olds across the country revealed several key insights on this generation.
1. Gen Z have a completely shifted understanding of identity and rely on ambiguity. They dodge identity labels in their typically short bios — in fact, 22 percent of bios were left completely blank — and avoid using any 'real'self-descriptors (e.g., "I like to travel.").
2. They use few photos and prefer emojis, particularly vague ones, to draw interest through mystery — and to perhaps not look like they are trying too hard.
3. They avoid being vulnerable or giving revealing statements — 40 percent 'masked' their faces, either through a filter or by partially concealing their faces.
5. Just 9% of profiles referenced a community identity (ethnicity, religion, diet, politics, etc.).
The below infographic summarising RPA's analysis shows a generation that's going through a profound shift in their identity, where context is king and the audience determines the self - and dating is no exception.
The research is part of a bigger report on gen Z, also produced by RPA. Check out 'The Identify Shifters: A Gen Z Exploration' here.

Festival: between the known & the unknown
Record: As It Is (2020)
In the late 1960s and early 70s, fear of annihilation, technological progress, and a vision of alternative societies filtered through popular and underground culture, conspiring to promote the ideal of 'getting back to the garden.' 'Folk' is only one of many ingredients in the mix during these charged moments. Neither Nick Drake nor Kate Bush nor Talk Talk sang old folk songs, but their music resonates with Romantic yearning for an intense communion with nature and the desire to reclaim a stolen innocence.
from Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music, by Rob Young (Faber and Faber, Inc., 2010)
Sam Fowles (photo by Christa Fowles, used by permission). Note: during our current national health crisis, The Palace was unable to obtain a current band "group photo." So this article contains only solo band-member photos, and no live photos.
After finding a record called "King Giraffe" (Yukon Records, 2007), by the Portland-based band The Parson Red Heads, I set off on a journey. I had started my own vinyl-only record label, Untide Records, and badly wanted to reissue "King Giraffe" on vinyl (alas, it never happened). In my search, however, after not being able to reach the Red Heads directly, I somehow made contact with Sam Fowles, then a full-time member and contributing songwriter for the Red Heads, but who, at the time, was also contemplating stepping away from his collective of college friend's turned band, and begin a solo recording career. That chance contact led us both into a deep and sustained conversation, primarily through letters and postcards and the sharing of books, a conversation that continues to expand to this day.
Almost immediately, we discovered a mutual admiration for "source" musicians arising from the English roots music scene of the late 1960s and 1970s, some of whom today are being "rediscovered" and released again on vinyl, and who are flowing seamlessly into current music trends, artists such as the visionary, monk-like Bill Fay, Vashti Bunyan, Fairport Convention (especially Richard Thompson's stunning solo recordings, old and new), The Byrds, Donovan, Bert Jansch, and especially Nick Drake. (Early band photos of The Parson Red Heads might just as easily have been those of Fairport Convention, so easily did their Eugene, Oregon, aesthetic seem to blend into the lineage from which much of their songwriting style arose.) Sam and his band seemed to be a kind of regeneration of yet another cycle of revival and revolutionary songwriting exploring alternative culture, searching for a deeper communion through music.
When Fowles did break away, his first new identity, House of Angels, released a few singles, culminating in a stylish vinyl release, "Era Ephemera" (Parson Farm Records, 2016), with album cover art taking a page out of the early playbook by the likes of the 1960s Canadian jazz-rock band, Lighthouse (have a look at "One Fine Morning," or "Thoughts of Movin' On," both from 1971 on Evolution Records). Essentially a solo project, Fowles developed the album's 10 songs with several close friends and contributors, while steering his final sound toward an overall lean, acoustic-laden contemporary alt-folk vibe. While feeling more like a self-portrait than a collaborative group effort, "Era Ephemera" succeeds in its departure from the Red Heads's more blended alt-country persona (led then as it is now, by Evan Way's distinctive vocals and lead guitar).
Through 2019, our now recent distant past, before the arrival of the coronavirus invasion that's all but shut down nearly every industry including music, Fowles formed a proper band, Festival, with William "Billy" Johnson (nearly all lead guitar, bass, keys, and the album mixing duties) and David Swensen (drums, overdubs, and album mastering), to expressly explore and collaborate at every level on their new project. Festival from inception would approach songwriting as a negotiated, collaborative sound (Fowles retains the majority share of songwriting credit, but not all). The results of this new entity, the six-track EP, "As It Is" (self released, 2020), are immediately distinctive and successful, extending its reach far beyond what was achieved in House of Angels, with an elevated level of energy, complex emotional layers, and charged delivery. This record sets in motion a whole new direction for Sam Fowles as a recording artist.
William Johnson (photo courtesy of the band, used by permission)
Assembled, in a sense, like a jazz album or soundtrack, "As It Is" opens with an instrumental electronic and guitar-laden track, "Being Light," connecting and establishing a sonic metaphor with the EP artwork inspired by the 19th Century French printmaker, Gustave Doré. Two more tracks follow, "Arise, Blazing Sun," and "Akin Beyond," expanding the band's direction of resetting their layered songwriting perspective. Then, shattering the calm and punching through like an interlude from The Tempest, comes "Just a Quick 48," another instrumental, guitar-driven retro counterpoint. "As It Is" then glides in with its final two tracks, "Save Yourself," and "Shape," rich explorations of how this new band plans to speak.
Fowles's distinctive vocals and songwriting (and now by extension, Festival's, with Johnson sharing some writing duties) chronicles a kind of celebratory spiritual quest set against a backdrop of unknowable celestial symbols and their shadowy, unpredictable movements. To say this band's songs are purely personal misses the larger spiritual struggle in their narratives, Fowles's need to align himself between the certainty of an idealized faith, and the all-too-human rebuke of ever-present doubt, that out there somewhere, there might not be a dead-certain happy outcome for us all. Fowles's best songs illuminate this in-between place of light surrounded by an indifferent gathering darkness.
David Swensen (photo courtesy of the band, used by permission)
For Festival, between the known and the unknown spaces that this band appears to be set to explore, there are moments of light and clarity and power. There's also a casual freedom in this new collaboration, not present in House of Angels, to push their sound collectively toward an outcome far greater than the band's individual solo strengths.
Song lyrics today that lean toward a slightly idealized world, as they did in the 1960s and 1970s, might seem a hard sell now. In previous eras it took intractable wars, political crises, and assassinations of beloved leaders to drive artists, bands, and songwriters to search backward to the likes of William Morris (and his pastoral socialist vision, his raging against the Industrial Revolution machinery) and John Clare (with his life-long poetic lament for the death of England's ancient agrarian culture). In the middle of our current, many-layered crisis landscape, some bands are once again exploring the tentative quality of modern life that we too-easily imagine to be solid and secure.
We've hit the pause button in the music world for the present moment, but this band has a lot of open sky to explore once we're free to move about the planet again. And we will be free again. Here's to such a return, as there must always be, for all of us, and for the return of what Joe Boyd once called "glorious optimism."
Our confidence grew out of a feeling that large sections of the population — and the media — were with us and from what we saw as the inexorable power of our music and our conversations. In our glorious optimism, we believed that 'when the mode of music changes, the walls of the city shake.'
from White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s, by Joe Boyd (Serpent's Tail, 2006)

Q: What is the difference between arbitration and mediation in a construction case?
Mediation involves sitting down and trying to come to a mutually agreeable compromise. Usually both sides pay a mediator's fee in advance so if both sides want mediation, it suggests that both sides want to explore compromise.
The arbitration contract you refer to is binding, meaning at the end of the arbitration the arbitrator issues a decision that both sides have to accept.

Alphons Maria Levens (Curaçao, 6 maart 1949 – Paramaribo, 2 maart 2023) was een Surinaams dichter en schrijver.

Biografie
Alphons Levens, zoon van Surinaamse ouders, ging op vijfjarige leeftijd naar Suriname, woonde vanaf 1969 weer op de Antillen, en vervolgens tot 1977 in Nederland waar hij de kweekschool doorliep en psychologie studeerde. Weer terug in Suriname werkte hij als onderwijzer, correspondent van de Hilversumse VARA-radio en als redacteur van het weekblad Pipel. In 1971 had hij zijn debuut gemaakt bij de Vereniging Ons Suriname in Amsterdam met de dichtbundel Bezinning en strijd.

Bekendheid verwierf hij met zijn sinds 1991 frequent verschijnende gedichten in het dagblad De Ware Tijd en de Weekkrant Suriname in Nederland. Hij bundelde ze in Mogelijk (1996), ...want nooit wordt alles gezegd (1998) en Wee het volk dat niet meer denkt! (2002). Op een direct-geëngageerde manier, socialistisch en antimilitaristisch, beschrijft hij het leven van alledag met verwijzingen naar wat er gebeurt op het toneel van de wereldpolitiek. Zijn gedichten hebben een minimum aan poëtische eigenschappen. Uit zijn verhalen, gebundeld in ...en toen was niets mooi meer (1997) spreekt hetzelfde engagement met de gewone mensen die proberen de struggle for life door te komen zonder zich te corrumperen, of naar Nederland te vertrekken. In enkele, sober vertelde verhalen, waaronder Toen verschenen de machines, poogde Levens het oprukken van de moderniteit en de verloedering in het district Commewijne - waar hij als onderwijzer werkt - in beeld te brengen. Ook schreef hij het jeugdverhaal Lucenda verkoopt geschiedenis (2001).

Hij noemde zichzelf een controlfreak die altijd een notitieblok, fototoestellen en taperecorders bij zich had. Voor Pipel interviewde hij verschillende vooraanstaande mensen uit de geschiedenis van Suriname, tot deze na de Decembermoorden van 1982 verboden werd. Hij was een actief lid van het bestuur van Schrijversgroep '77 en bevorderde de positie van schrijvers in de gemeenschap. Hij ondersteunde van het schrijfproces tot aan de levering van boeken aan winkels en bibliotheken, waarmee hij zorgde dat het voor schrijvers een goed beloop kreeg. Ook riep hij de hulp in van vrijwilligers om boeken van Surinaamse schrijvers te promoten.

Alphons Levens was een broer van minister van Onderwijs, Wetenschap en Cultuur Marie Levens en in de Nederland wonende dichteres Polly Levens. Hij was een actief sporter en deed mee aan alle edities van Bigi Broki Waka. Op zijn zeventigste liep hij nog een halve marathon.

Hij was enige tijd ziek en overleed op 2 maart 2023, enkele dagen voor zijn 74e verjaardag, in het Academisch Ziekenhuis Paramaribo. Ter herinnering aan zijn werk en leven initieerde Schrijversgroep '77 op 8 maart een Ode aan Alphons Levens in Tori Oso aan de Fred Derbystraat.

Petition against the palm of Alain Delon : the Cannes film festival has spoken out against the "political police"
"political police": this is how Thierry Frémaux, general delegate of the Cannes film Festival, has described the petition against the palm of honor awarded to Alain Delon. Margherita B., a user at the initiative of the manifesto written in English, blame Alain Delon "have publicly admitted to slapping women", to be "aligned with the national Front, a racist and anti-semitic" and of having "made clear that being homosexual is "unnatural". If the petition has been attributed to the association of american Women and Hollywood in the media, its founder, Melissa Silverstein says that he does not have to be at the origin, although it has defended the same position.

"It is difficult to judge with the glasses of today, of the things that have happened and say a few years ago"
Thierry Frémaux, general delegate of the festival
"Alain Delon has the right to think what he thinks", said Thierry Frémaux Monday, regretting also that "Alain Delon has said here and there is globalized". The delegate general in charge of the cannes selection, invites his detractors to "make the contradictions of existence, ( … ), in the present instance, of a man who left very early in the war, and which is of a different generation". "It is difficult to judge with the glasses of today, of the things that have happened and say a few years ago", added Thierry Frémaux. He referred in particular to the words of Alain Delon-held television about the far right in 1987. "I have points of agreements and disagreements with Jean-Marie Le Pen", stated the comedian. Interviewed by the magazine Variety , Thierry Frémaux recalled Alain Delon "is an actor legendary and a part of the history of Cannes", like "Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen and Agnes Varda". As he said on France Inter, Pierre Lescure, president of the Cannes Festival for 2014, consider, him, that this controversy "says a lot of the America". Without revealing more, before his thought.
Petition controversial and controversy repetition
"I have nothing against gays getting together, but, for me, it is against the order of nature"
Alain Delon on France 5 in 2013
the 18,000 viewers, for the most part coming from the anglo-saxon world, United states, United Kingdom and Australia, but also from France and Belgium, have signed the text in a few hours. The petition anti-Delon surprised by the thinness of his argument. Its instigator, Margherita B., includes a ranking of the ten celebrities most hated of France established by Behold in 2013, expected to show the support of the French to the american initiative. In addition to the meeting of Alain Delon with Jean-Marie Le Pen, Margherita B. accuses the actor of his words spoken on France 5, in the face of Anne-Sophie Lapix in 2013. "I have nothing against gays getting together, but, for me, it is against the order of nature, there's the interpreter of the Cheetah . We are here to love a woman, to woo a woman, not to flirt a guy or be picked up by a guy."

last November, drawing the ire of feminists, Alain Delon, also stated: "If a slap is sexist, then yes I had to be macho. Yes I had to be macho, but I also, even women!" Last element denounced in the petition: domestic violence alleged by the actor. On 4 may, Anthony Delon has confirmed statements made by Laurent Allen-Caron, author of a documentary on the life of the star of the 7th art, according to which his father enclosed, child, "in a cage with dogs for the harden".
raised shields for the Samurai
On social networks, where invitations to refuse the "diktat american", the "thought police" or "censorship" are flourishing, the number of supporters of the French actor of the show. The essayist and columnist Éric Naulleau has identified a return to "mccarthyism and the witch hunt", prevalent in the United States in the 1950s against Americans suspected of communism. The defence of this palme d'honneur took a turn highly political. While several prominent figures of the extreme right shouted to the scandal, the mp LR Éric Ciotti has conveyed his "support to the greatest icon of French cinema who faces bigotry". Christine Boutin regret it, the contempt american for an actor who "has strengthened the image of the talented French". Nathalie Goulet, senator IDU, accuses all good critics to be "frustrated of all kinds and jealous".

Fight Back Against Parental Alienation; Call Today!
Resentment or negative emotion towards your ex is really easy to develop and maintain during and immediately following a divorce, particularly one that is contentious and involves considerable courtroom litigation. This can sometimes make parents attempt to sway their children's opinions of their ex, sometimes consciously but possibly even unconsciously as well.
If you feel as though your ex has been encouraging parental alienation through their actions towards your children, it is important to obtain legal representation as soon as possible to help you maintain your status as a parent. At Rozin | Golinder Law, our attorneys have dedicated our practice to assisting those who need guidance through a complex family law matter. We understand the emotional nature of divorce and child related issues, which is why we work hard to help our clients protect their rights as parents.
To learn more about your rights and fight back against parental alienation, call Rozin | Golinder Law today at (732) 810-0034 for a free, confidential case evaluation.
Many parents are surprised to learn that parental alienation is a matter that can be brought to the court, and possibly have an impact on decisions such as child custody and visitation. Some believe this is a perfectly natural reaction to a contentious divorce, and that they are well within their rights to parent how they please as the custodial party.
If you are found to be contributing to parental alienation, it will be seen in court as a reflection on your ability to parent, and a poor one at that. Custodial parents may even lose their status, or the court may even change the agreement to one of joint custody to ensure children receive equal time with both parents. This can have a tremendous impact on the lives of everyone involved going forward.
Find out more about parental alienation and what to do if you think your children are being subjected to it; contact Rozin | Golinder Law online now to get started.
