'Outlaw King' MOVIE REVIEW: Chris Pine's Netflix Epic Wields a Blunt Blade
MOVIE REVIEWS, REVIEWS
In an attempt to prove it can do anything the non-streaming film companies can do, Outlaw King finds Netflix dipping its toe into the historical epic, with mixed results. The titular Outlaw King is the Scottish Monarch, Robert the Bruce aka Robert the First, played by Chris Pine (Star Trek, Wonder Woman). The film follows Roberts from his beginnings, surrendering to the English, right through to him leading a rebel army against the men he once sought peace with.
Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), Outlaw King looks suitably "epic" when bloody battles break out against the backdrop of the gorgeous Scottish landscape. Equally, the attention to detail is evident in the film's costumes and overall griminess. Outlaw King may very well be centred on a noble upbringing, but that doesn't stop it from showing people rutting in the streets whilst Robert and his right-hand man talk exposition, and the Prince of Wales (Billy Howle, Dunkirk) swears to defeat his enemies whilst brandishing two very large and very dead swans. The latter being one of several scenes where the audience is left to think, "Are they just making this up as they go along?"
Certainly, it's an accusation that gets hurled at historical movies all the time, with the usual think pieces being trodden out as to how factually accurate each one is. It's completely understandable too when we look at the likes of Braveheart, where Mel Gibson played loose and fast with the facts so much that the strategic Battle of Stirling Bridge was re-enacted without a bridge in sight. Factual inaccuracies also dog Outlaw King, from truncated timelines to making Robert's bride much older than she was, but that's not really too much of a problem in terms of cinema. When the finale boils down to Robert and Edward II fighting mano-a-mano, with both armies seemingly stopping to watch the battle royale, you begrudgingly accept it because, hey, it worked for Gladiator.
No, Outlaw King's issue isn't its occasional ignorance of history textbooks; it's more the problem that when it does attempt to portray accuracy, it actually becomes rather plodding. As Pine conspires with his fellow countrymen to overthrow King Edward I (Stephen Dillane, Game of Thrones) in darkened corridors, the importance is clear, but you may find yourself egging the film to quickly return to indiscriminately letting the blood flow freely.
It certainly doesn't help that, whilst Pine's performance is fine, Robert the Bruce, a key figure in Scottish history, is portrayed as being rather dull. A keen strategist in real life, Robert enters the third act of Outlaw King doing everything he can to save the woman he loves. Much more interesting are people like the aforementioned Prince of Wales who comes across as the Outlaw King's equivalent of the Joker. Elsewhere, as Robert makes pillow talk with his wife, Elizabeth (Florence Pugh, Lady MacBeth), we have the likes of James Douglas (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kick Ass), also known as Black Douglas, slaughtering the enemy in churches and screaming "what's my —-ing name?!" on the battle field. It's never really a good sign when you want to spend more time with the secondary characters than the titular hero.
Epic in scope whilst managing to feel rather trivial in its portrayal, Outlaw King is not an unmitigated flop for Netflix, but it does feel like it's tried to tick all the boxes of a historical drama without actually adding anything new to the stable. Watch it if for nothing more than Taylor-Johnson's unhinged performance.
'Outlaw King' is currently streaming on Netflix right HERE.

Most in Demand Programming Languages 2021
Are you looking to do the demand programming languages 2021?
Merehead is a leading software development company. Talk to our experts to get a turn-key solution! Write to an Expert
10 years ago, every second tried to become a lawyer or economist. Today, every second tries his hand at programming. Why? Because this demand for good programmers is growing exponentially. It's also a high paying job.
Do not believe the words? Here are the statistics according to the report of Hired.
The average salary of developers has grown by 7-13%, depending on the country.
Demand for front-end and back-end developers has grown by 17%.
Demand for AR / VR and Blockchain developers increased by 1400% and 517%, respectively.
Note: our team did not single out the first and last place. Today, the choice of language depends on the scope. Therefore, the main indicator is the frequency of use in different areas.
Probably, Go is the least known of all the programming languages that will be discussed today. It was developed by Google back in 2007 for APIs and web applications. In the past few years, Go has become one of the fastest growing programming languages. Some programmers have even begun to claim that it is superior to Python.
However, according to Hired reports, it is the most popular and sought after in all interviews.
Go Lang popularity. Source of the image
The TIOBE index is one of the indicators of the popularity of programming languages. The rating is based on the number of qualified engineers regarding the language, courses and search queries. According to this index, Go Lang climbed 8 positions in the first few months of 2020

Nevertheless, the Stackoverflow survey showed that Go is in 13th place in popularity among all developers and professional.

Also, according to a Stackoverflow survey, 67% of respondents like to write code on Go Lang, and another 15% want to try working with it (third place after Python and JavaScript).
Despite its growing popularity, Go Lang is not in demand among the Github community. So, according to Octoverse 2019, it is not among the top 10 programming languages of the last decade. In the list of fastest growing languages, it takes 10th place.
Go's most striking feature is simplicity. A developer can write efficient code in a few days. Go also has an integrated Garbage Collector. This means that the developer cannot worry about memory management. Typically, Go developers spend 20% of their time writing code and 80% on its support.
All these facts have become a catalyst for demand for relevant specialists. In addition, Google announced the work on Go 2, which should be even more stable. Therefore, in 2021, Go will be on the list of the most popular programming languages.
Kotlin was developed by the Jet Brains team in an attempt to find "something better than Java." Many experts claim that the goal has been achieved. Like Go, Kotlin cannot be called the trendiest programming language. But statistics show that demand is growing.
The demand for Kotlin specialists. Source of the image
According to the Hired rating, Kotlin is one of the five most popular programming languages in the world. It beat competitors such as Java and Python, giving in only to Go and Scala in his field.
In addition, the number of Kotlin users in the Github community is growing incredibly fast. According to a report from Octoverse, Kotlin ranks 4th among fast-growing programming languages.

According to a Stackoverflow survey, Kotlin ranks 4th among the most adored and desired programming languages. Developers love Kotlin for integration with Java and a useful set of tools.
Most Preferred Programming Languages. Source of the image
Google has identified Kotlin as a first-class language for developing Android applications. This has helped increase language recognition among the developer community. In addition, this positively affected the demand for specialists.
TypeScript is a development by Microsoft that has emerged in response to growing dissatisfaction with JavaScript. This programming language was released in 2014 and quickly became popular. Why? It impressed the Google team so much that they began working on developing TypeScript, instead of developing a new language.
TypeScript was used as the main programming language for the Angular2 + SPA structure. In 2018, Vue.js team also announced that it will use TypeScript to develop new versions of its framework.

These facts gave rise to accept TypeScript as an effective programming language. Last year, it simply showed promise. Now it's included in the top most sought after. Let's move on to statistics.

Third place in the ranking of favorite programming languages Stackoverflow:
5th place among the fastest growing programming languages in the Octoverse ranking:
Among other things, for its short history, TypeScript has entered the top 10 best programming languages. In 2017, it replaced Objective-C from this rating.

In terms of productivity, TypeScript is on par with Kotlin on the JVM or Go / Python. Of the many add-ons for JS, TypeScript is the most efficient. Its development is carried out by Google and Microsoft. Together with statistics, all this makes it one of the most popular programming languages for 2021.
JavaScript is the most famous programming language today. Despite the flaws that triggered the creation of add-ons such as CoffeeScript, Flow, and TypeScript, JS is still the most sought after in many areas.
It is widely known for adding interactive elements to web applications and browsers. Most front-end developers prefer JS. However, the Node.js runtime provides significantly more features than just front-end development.
JavaScript is the most popular language, according to a Stackoverflow survey. The same survey showed that 66% of respondents like to work with JS. 17.8% of respondents want to master JS.
In addition, for several years in a row JavaScript has been ranked first in the Octoverse ranking as the best programming language of all time.
In the TIOBE ranking, JavaScript has lost ground compared to previous years. Many argue that this is triggered by an increase in complaints of some shortcomings. Despite this, it consistently does not get out of the top 10.
JS position in the ranking of TIOBE. Source of the image
According to the Hired rating, JavaScript is also the most popular programming language. But in demand it takes only 7th place. Why? The key reason is the large number of specialists around the world. Today it's much easier to find a JS developer than Go or Kotlin.
Python is one of the key competitors to JavaScript, despite its different purpose. Most often, Python is used to create 2D images, 3D animations, and video games. With its help, services such as Quora, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit are created.
According to many reports and ratings, Python is rapidly gaining popularity and has every chance of moving JavaScript from the first place. So, in the ranking of TIOBE and PYPL, Python has long occupied the top lines, unlike JS.

According to the Octoverse report, over the past year, Python has become more popular among Github developers, overtaking Java.

In the Stackoverflow ranking, Python ranks 4th among the most popular programming languages. Also, it takes 2nd place among the most adored languages, second only to Rust. But the most remarkable thing is that most of the respondents (25.7%) want to learn exactly Python.
Top 5 Most Desired Programming Languages. Source of the image
It is noteworthy that Python did not get into the 10 most popular programming languages in the Hired ranking. However, according to Indeed reports, most development jobs are open specifically for Python professionals.
To Python's relevance issue puts an end the fact that it is considered the best in machine learning, Deep Learning, artificial intelligence, web development, and data analysis. All these areas today are developing the most. Accordingly, the demand for Python-developers in the coming years will grow several times.
Yes, these are three different programming languages. But, as we said, the main focus is the scope. C/C++/C# are equally often used for game development. As we know, the gaming industry is very huge and is gaining more and more momentum every year.
According to Unity research, specialists who know these three languages will become the most popular in the field of game development.
Do you know the global reach of the gaming industry? About 50% of the world's population devotes time to video games every day. Requirements for the quality of games are growing, therefore, qualified developers are always needed.
Also, all three of these programming languages occupy fairly high positions in all ratings. So, in the Hired list, they were in 13-15 places.
Interest for C/C++/C#. Source of the image
According to the Stackoverflow report, these three programming languages are in the top 10 most popular.

They are in the top 10 best programming languages of all time according to the Octoverse rating, as well as in the top 5 languages according to the TIOBE index.

Finally, I would like to pay attention to Solidity. Today, this programming language is not the best version of Stackoverflow or Octoverse. Moreover, it did not get into the top 10 Pypl and TIOBE. Similarly, Solidity did not become one of the most sought after versions of Hired.
You will probably think: "Why then is Solidity on this list?". As we said at the beginning, one of the key factors is the scope. When interviewing Stackoverflow regarding Blockchain development, most often respondents mentioned this development language.
Combine this with the fact that the demand for Blockchain specialists over the past year has grown by 517%. This technology is completely new, because it is not yet very popular. But the benefits of the blockchain and statistics indicate that in the coming years the situation will change radically.
Accordingly, the demand for qualified developers will increase. Solidity is the best for Blockchain today. Therefore, in 2021 the demand for specialists will be very large.


Crinoline Slip – the one with the biggest volume – Retails for $60.
Dress Bag (Yes, they billed me for this too!) – Retails for $10.
Please don't hesitate to come by to have a look at the dress in person. Buying a wedding dress is very personal — it has to feel right. I fell in love with this dress the instant I put it on. I hope you do, too. Congratulations and happy dress hunting!
Strapless bodice features feminine sweetheart neckline and ruching detail for a flawless fit.
Cascading ruffles flow throughout the tulle ball gown skirt adding drama and texture. My photos make the dress look more dramatic than the model because I wore a slip. The slip has many crisp layers to add a large amount of volume to the dress, adding more drama for when you want it. I am including this.
The dress is so fun and fluffy, you'll have the time of your life wearing it. All we had to do was fluff the dress and it was refreshed – so no worries about steaming at all. The dress was very comfortable, so easy to move around and dance in. I wore it in 30 degree plus weather and I did not feel overheated.
The crinoline slip – A-Line Medium Fullness 2-Tiered Slip. Add more body to your gown with this slip! Made with 100% Nylon, tulle netting and a small zipper and hook combo at the top. This can be used for any occassion (weddings, ball gown formals, quinceaneras, etc)!
It is size 6 and it fits close to a 6. It fits the body in a very comfortable way, depending on the fit, I fit street cloths 4 to 8.
CONDITION/ALTERATIONS Like new condition. No tears and only worn during the day. I had a day wedding, so I didn't dance in it except for a few photos. Hemmed the underlining in front for a 5"6 bride too wear with flat shoes. Bustled to perfection - the beautiful tulle ruffles hide the bustle! 3 bustles make the train disappear when you're ready to dance the night away. There is a picture of the back of the dress bustled. You can't even tell that the train is bustled into the dress, and it looks even better in motion! As mentioned, the bustling cost $110.
I did NOT have the dress professionally cleaned or stored, as I always had intentions to sell the dress, I was careful to make sure the dress would be in pristine and mint condition for the next beautiful bride. I wanted to provide you the option of saving the money. I received a quote from the best bridal gown dry cleaners in town, which would be about $180.

This photo is from an earlier scrambling when a Norwegian F-16 fighter jet was flying side-by-side with a Russian TU-95 strategic bomber outside Norwegian airspace. (Photo: Norwegian Air Force)
A Norwegian military listening post intercepted cockpit conversations revealing that one of the Tu-95 flying around the coast of Norway last Wednesday had a nuclear payload onboard. Two F-16s were scrambled from Bodø airbase and met the Russian planes outside Finnmark.

More than 100 new nukes in northern waters
Fire-struck nuke bomber frequent flyer outside Norway
A group of six Russian aircrafts were identified by the Norwegian fighter jets; two Tu-95 strategic long-range bombers, two Il-78 tankers and two MiG-31 fighter jets. The incident took place on Wednesday, January 28th.
The Norwegian F-16s followed the Russian planes outside Norwegian airspace on the southbound route. For Norway, scrambling F-16s to meet Russian bombers has been routine since President Vladimir Putin in 2007 ordered his strategic bombers to resume flights in international airspace.
It is the British newspaper Sunday Express that reports about the nuclear payload onboard.
The newspaper writes that both Prime Minister David Cameron and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon were alerted after cockpit conversions confirming the bomber's nuclear payload were intercepted by a Norwegian military listening post, and shared with the British Ministry of Defence.
Intergrated NATO air defence systems
When the Russian bombers approached the English Channel, Royal Air Force scrambled two of their Typhoon fighter jets. Discribing the operation, Royal Air Force writes on this on the portal:
"Thanks to our intergration with air defence systems across NATO, we were able to begin mission planning early and therefore were ready to act in good time. Once ordered to by the NATO Combined Air Operations Centre in Germany, Typhoon Quick Reaction Alert fighteres were scrambled from RAF Lossiemouth to intercept and identify the aircraft. Integration with out colleagues in Royal Navy provided additional surveillance coverage and added value to the mission."
Nuclear warhead on airdrop missile
From the Norwegian F-16s first met the group of Russian planes outside the coast of Finnmark to the planes were flying across the North Sea takes some four-five hours.
The nuclear warhead onboard the Tu-95 was allegedly not armed. The warhead was attached to a airdrop seek and find missile, according to the Ministry of Defense sources speaking to Sunday Express.
The other Tu-95 was said to have been acting in the role of "mothership", overseeing the military exercise.
Disturbed civil air traffic
BBC reported on Friday that the two Tu-95 bombers were flying so near to British airspace that they caused disruption to civil air traffic. The Russian planes had not filed a flight plan, did not have their transponders switched on and were not talking to air traffic control.
Last fall, BarentsObserver posted a photo of a Russian Tu-22 supersonic bomber flying outside Norwegian airspace in the north. The plane had a cruise missile in launching position under and the photo was taken by a Norwegian F-16 pilot.
Press spokesman at Norway's Joint Command Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Ivar Moen told BarentsObserver that Russian aircrafts with cruise missiles have been registered several times lately.
"This photo is not the first time we have seen Tu-22 bombers with visible cruise missile," Moen said.
Moen underlined that the Norwegians at that time had no reasons to believe that the Russian bombers were armed with nuclear warheads.
The Tu-95 flights last week is first time in Post-Soviet times that information has leaked out confirming that a Russian long-range bomber off the coast of Norway actually carry a nuclear payload.
BarentsObserver has not succeeded getting the nuclear warhead information confirmed, or disproved, from either the Norwegian military intelligence, nor the Joint Command Headquarters.

A study shows that vitamin D is more than just for the bones: It can ease symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but only in people who are also deficient in the vitamin.
COPD is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases that cause symptoms such as increased shortness of breath, frequent coughing, breathlessness, wheezing, and tightness in the chest. It includes emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and non-reversible asthma.
The study, which was published in the journal Thorax, is a systematic review and meta-analysis on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vitamin D in preventing the worsening of COPD. Four RCTs with a total of 560 participants were included in the study.
Carried out by a team of researchers from Europe, the study revealed that supplementing with regular doses of vitamin D safely and significantly reduced the symptoms of COPD. You can get this vitamin in supplement form and in foods that are naturally rich in vitamin D, such as fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel, beef liver, cheese, mushrooms, and egg yolks.
Dr. Adrian Martineau, a clinical professor at the University of London and co-author of the study, explained that vitamin D reduces COPD symptoms in two ways. First, it enhances the body's immune response to respiratory viruses that usually trigger COPD attacks. Second, it weakens harmful inflammatory responses. As a result, it speeds up recovery – potentially minimizing damage to the structure of the lung.
Abnormal levels of vitamin D have been linked to respiratory ailments and reduced lung function. Vitamin D is beneficial to people with COPD because they are also at an increased risk of osteoporosis, and vitamin D, together with calcium, may help with this.
The study also found that the beneficial effects of vitamin D only take effect in people with COPD that are also deficient in the vitamin. People who are overweight or obese, do not eat much fish or dairy, live in a northern climate, stay indoors, or dark-skinned – as well as older adults – tend to have lower vitamin D levels.
Taking vitamin D without a deficiency is useless, warned the scientists. There are also risk factors that come with having too much vitamin D. It may not be common, but vitamin D toxicity can boost calcium levels and cause adverse effects on the bones, muscles, and kidneys.
In addition to vitamin D, there are also other vitamins that are beneficial for COPD. Vitamins C, A, and E can help people with COPD to manage their symptoms, relieve inflammation, and prevent severe respiratory damage. These vitamins can simply be obtained from foods. You can get vitamin C from citrus fruits like oranges, dark, leafy green vegetables like kale, berries, and tomatoes. Fatty fish like salmon, carrots, cantaloupe, squash, and broccoli provide vitamin A. Eat meat, poultry, eggs, fruits, and vegetables to get vitamin E.

Xfinity.com: "Men Of The Strip" Sets Out To Redefine the All-Male Revue In New Docu-Soap Movie on E!
By Admin2 on June 1, 2014	in Men of the Strip
"Ever since the huge success of Channing Tatum shaking his groove thing in "Magic Mike" hit the big screen two summers ago, the fascination with all-male revues have escalated with hot shows in Vegas like The Chippendales and Thunder Down Under. (Case in point, watch for "Magic Mike 2" next year in theaters)
But Emmy-nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard is planning on taking the all-male revue to new heights and a new 2-hour docu-soap airs tonight on the E! network, "Men Of The Strip."
In the film, Packard, along with former 98 Degrees singer Jeff Timmons and entrepreneur "Money Mike" Foland, went on the hunt for the perfect group of guys to build a new kind of strip show. I talked to Packard last week to find out how the show will be different from the others, what makes the perfect male dancer and whether it's safe to assume most of the dancers are gay. Here are five things I learned about what we'll see in the project." READ MORE…
USWeekly.com: Men of the Strip: 98 Degrees Alum Jeff Timmons Previews Las Vegas Reality Movie With Hunky, Shirtless Strippers
By Admin2 on June 1, 2014	in Glenn Douglas Packard, Interviews, Jeff Timmons, Media, Men of the Strip, Money Mike, The Boss Men
"Magic Mike is coming to the small screen! For Jeff Timmons, helping to create a new male dancer-stripper revue in Las Vegas was an easy decision. The former 98 Degrees singer dropped by Us Weekly's NYC headquarters recently with his shirtless (!) stripper pals Keith Webb and Kyle Efthemes to preview their upcoming reality movie event, Men of the Strip.
"The thing that fascinated me about being a part of this was the guys and the behind-the-scenes aspects of their lives. What they do, how they interact, how their families interact, what people think," Timmons, 41, told Us of joining the crew. "Some of the pre-conceived ideas you have that are associated with the male revue—once you see the show, those go out the window."
The trio went into detail about the ladies that come to have a good time at their Las Vegas shows, but Webb admitted he's got a specific No. 1 fan—his mom. "She's very proud," he said. 'But my grandparents are like devoted Christians—my brother's a pastor and he hasn't even seen [the show]." WATCH

By Admin2 on June 1, 2014	in Glenn Douglas Packard, Jeff Timmons, Men of the Strip, Money Mike, The Boss Men
"Jeff Timmons of the popular 98 Degrees didn't know what to expect when he began his hosting gig for Chippendales.
As the entertainer did it, he got to see both sides of the men involved with each performance. He viewed them as unique individuals with their own stories to tell.
This served as the idea behind the "Men of the Strip", "docusoap" premiering 10 p.m. ET Sunday, June 1 on E! The two-hour special follows along as a new male revue of the same names starts to come together. The idea for the Las Vegas show comes from Timmons himself, who collaborated with Emmy- nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard, who famously worked with Michael Jackson, and entertainment entrepreneur "Money Mike" Foland.
From the rigorous casting and audition process to mastering dance steps and getting in shape, viewers get to go behind the curtain and watch the drama unfold. Timmons says what initially fascinated him about the shows he would host were the guys." READ MORE…

"They're good-looking guys with fun personalities and serious performance skills, but there's a lot more to the Men of the Strip than washboard abs and good dance moves.
When they're not traveling the world and performing onstage with their all-male ensemble, these guys have their own sets of interests and hobbies that they like to pursue. Latin lover Joel Sajiun loves to play the guira, a percussion instrument from his native Dominican Republic, while Kyle Efthemes (aka Lady Killer) enjoys nothing more than a good sunset and a round of relaxing meditation.

People.com: Jeff Timmons Says Being Surrounded by Male Strippers Isn't Always Pretty
By Admin2 on May 30, 2014	in Interviews, Media, Men of the Strip
"What happens when you get a bunch of testosterone-addled alpha males together on a tour bus?
Jeff Timmons knows the answer – and it isn't always pretty.
But the singer, 41, is not talking about his time with boy band 98 Degrees. He's talking about Men of the Strip, a Magic Mike-style male revue that he co-created.
Like all male revues, the performers have chiseled abs and revealing costumes. But unlike many shows of its type, Timmons requires that the dancers can sing, as well.
Earlier this year, the group of eight guys embarked on a 42-city nationwide tour. To hear Timmons talk about it, the experience was like being in a frat house on wheels.
"So I was on a cramped tour bus with a bunch of burly dudes," Timmons, who has a stripper-ready body himself these days, says with a laugh. " READ MORE…

Digital transformation is emerging in marketing, sales, HR, supply chain and finance, as well as in plant operations and maintenance. It's opening up new opportunities, challenging traditional methods and changing the way we think and act.
Digital transformation can be disruptive, but for companies that want to become new leaders it offers remarkable opportunities.


In 1946, in the basement of a former department store, Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka set out to make Japan's first tape recorders. World War II had just ended, and even basic materials were scarce. For the tape, Morita scrounged some mimeograph paper, which they cut into narrow strips with razor blades. For the magnetic coating, they melted oxalicferrite powder in a skillet to create ferric oxide, then painted it onto the paper strips. The tape sounded terrible, but it worked. And from these humble beginnings, Sony was born.
Over the next 50 years, Sony would go on to become the No. 1 consumer brand name in the world. The man responsible for that amazing feat is Sony co-founder Akio Morita-a brilliant marketer who turned the fledgling company into an international presence.
Morita was born into a wealthy family of sake brewers in 1921. As the oldest of three sons, he was expected to take over the family business. But Morita's interests lay elsewhere. "When I was in high school," Morita would later recall, "my father bought me an electronic phonograph. The sound was fantastic. I was so impressed, I started to wonder how and why such sound came out. That's when my interest in electronics began." Morita studied electronics in his spare time and attempted to build his own radio, phonograph and tape recorder, succeeding in all but the last.
After convincing his father to let his younger brother run the family brewery, Morita enrolled in Osaka Imperial University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in physics. During World War II, he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Navy, but instead of combat duty, he was assigned to a Naval Research Center at Susaki. It was there that he met the man who would become his business partner, Masaru Ibuka.
After the war, with the equivalent of $500 in capital, Morita and Ibuka formed the Tokyo Telecommunications Co., which was later renamed Sony. The company's early products included vacuum tube voltmeters, amplifiers and a bulky $500 tape recorder that proved to be too expensive for the consumer market. Sony's first real breakthrough came when it produced the first transistor radio in 1955. Bell Laboratories had developed transistors in the United States, but Sony was the first to use them in radios (and later, in other electronic devices as well) for mass production to the public.
From the outset, Morita saw America as the most likely market for Sony's products-business was booming, employment was high and people were eager for new and exciting things. With Sony's first transistor radio in hand, Morita made the rounds to American distributors, but found little enthusiasm. Finally, a purchasing agent at the Bulova watch company saw the miniature radios and said he would take 100,000 of them, provided he could market them under the Bulova name.
This was a huge order, worth more than Sony's total capitalization at the time. But Morita was set on building Sony into an international brand. Despite a cablegram from Ibuka and Sony's board instructing him to accept the offer, he turned Bulova down. Later, he would describe this as the best business decision of his career.
Morita eventually found a distributor who agreed to sell the radios under the Sony name, and as he had predicted, Americans loved the newfangled invention. The radio's success led to other firsts in transistorized products, including an 8-inch transistorized television and a videotape recorder. Sony's technological achievements in product design, production and marketing helped transform the "Made in Japan" label from being a synonym for cheap imitations to a symbol of superior quality. In Morita's own words, they made Sony the Cadillac of electronics.
Determined to build a presence in the United States that would dominate the landscape without appearing foreign, Morita moved himself and his family to New York in 1963 to personally oversee the operations of Sony Corp. of America, which had been established three years earlier. Morita reasoned that to sell to Americans effectively, he would have to know more about them and how they lived. He quickly built a solid and valuable network of contacts by socializing and giving parties during the week-a habit he maintained throughout his career.
A master at finding a need and filling it, Morita observed that Americans loved music and would listen to it in their cars and even carry large stereos to the beach and the park. He came up with an idea for a product that offered high-quality sound yet was portable enough to allow the user to listen while doing something else. Thus, one of Sony's most popular and profitable products was born: the Walkman.
The Walkman was a big windfall for Sony because its technology proved to be difficult to duplicate. It was more than two years before other companies could introduce competing models. By that time, Sony had sold 20 million units, and the company's reputation and brand recognition soared worldwide.
With Morita as CEO, Sony continued to diversify and became a leader in virtually every aspect of the consumer electronics market, from televisions to CD players. In 1987, the company purchased CBS Records for $2 billion, then before his retirement as CEO in 1989, Morita set into motion the deal that would lead Sony to purchase Columbia Pictures, making Sony a major player in the entertainment industry.
In 1993, Morita suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. He retained his title as chairman until 1995, but continued to wield enormous power over the company he helped found until October 1999, when he died from pneumonia at age 78.
Akio Morita pioneered the marketing concept of brand-name recognition at a time when most companies in Japan were producing products under somebody else's name. With this strategy, as well as his unswerving dedication to provide the best available technology, he helped make the Sony name synonymous with superior-quality consumer electronics.
In a 1986 interview, Akio Morita was asked to name his worst business error. After hemming and hawing a bit, he finally replied, "Beta." Sony pioneered the videocassette recorder with the beta format and stubbornly stood by it even when the VHS format began to corner the market. As a result, Sony's highly profitable VCR sales of the 1970s and early 1980s soon dwindled and eventually became a liability.

Q: Deploying a MERN app to render.com with one main folder structure - not separate front and back I have a MERN app that I would like to deploy to render.com. I just have 2 quick questions:

*

*Of all the tutorials that I have watched, they all have separate github repos - 1 for the frontend, 1 for the backend. So on render.com, they can simply choose the frontend or the backend repo when they want to deploy. However, my folder structure is not like this - mine is one main github repo, and inside that repo, there is 1 frontend folder and 1 backend folder. How do I go about solving this?

*When I give render.com (or heroku, netlify, etc.) access to my github account, is it safe? Does this mean they will be able to read and change stuff in my github account?
Thanks in advance for your help

A: My repo has the same structure as yours, one frontend folder and one backend folder.

*

*You need to create a new Web Service for your backend folder. When creating a new web service, just set the Root Directory to backend. When you're done with the other fields and deployed your backend, create a Static Site for your frontend. Set the root directory of your static site to frontend. Set Publish Directory to build.

*Probably safe but I'm new to the service as well. I believe they are only using that to be able to pull your repositories so that you can select them on Render. And also, of course, for auto or manual deployment.

CENTREVILLE— Environmental groups and citizens filed an appeal today in the Circuit Court for Queen Anne's County to challenge a November decision by the Maryland Board of Public Works to permit the 1,079-unit Four Seasons development on Kent Island.
The appeal was filed by Queen Anne's Conservation Association, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Chester River Association, Inc., Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy, Inc. (MRC), and neighbors of the proposed project: Robert W. Foley, and Hal M. Fisher.
In a 2-1 vote, the Board voted Nov. 18 to grant New Jersey developer K. Hovnanian an environmental permit. The last full public hearing on the project was 2003 when it was first proposed. Significant changes were made since then to the plan, but the Board ruled no new public hearing was required.
A 2013 poll showed that a majority of voters in Kent Island and Queen Anne's County were opposed to Four Seasons. On Kent Island, opponents outnumbered supporters by more than 2-1.

Bitcoin saw its price surge by almost $20 (£12) over a three-hour period yesterday to take its market capitalisation up above $8bn once more.
The increase brought to an end the steady slide in price of bitcoin that began at the start of the week and seems to have had a positive effect across other cryptocurrency markets over the last 24 hours.
Litecoin, darkcoin, and dogecoin all experienced price gains by between 4% and 8%, while peercoin, namecoin and bytecoin all saw their price rise by around 1%.
Financial regulators in New York have proposed tough licensing plans for bitcoin businesses that would require companies dealing with digital currencies to hire compliance officers and maintain certain levels of capital.
The New York Department of Financial Services made the proposals for "bitlicences" as part its plan to better oversea cryptocurrency.
"My hope is that the companies that can meet these rules will give consumers a lot of confidence when they do business with these companies, and that will help those companies thrive and succeed," Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of the department, told the Wall Street Journal.
The news has already been criticised by bitcoin advocates who claim that it is too soon for any regulation to be brought in.
Patrick Murck, general counsel for the Bitcoin Foundation, said: "Trying to regulate the entire industry right now is extremely premature."
A World Bank economist has called bitcoin a "naturally occurring" Ponzi scheme in a recent report for the organisation.
Kaushik Basu's report, entitled Ponzis: The Science and Mystique of a Class of Financial Frauds, claims that bitcoin bore the characteristics of a natural Ponzi scheme, or that it was bubble-like, with its rapidly inflating value driven by frantic speculation.
"One of the most recent cases of bubbles occurred in the new 'bitcoin' experiment," Basu writes. "Trouble started when people began speculating that the value of bitcoin would rise, thereby raising the demand for bitcoin and making the value-rise a self-fulfilling prophesy.
"In other words, what we witnessed recently in the bitcoin phenomenon fits the standard definition of a speculative bubble."
Bitcoin payment service provider BitPay has introduced a new Facebook app that allows users to trade bitcoin over the social network.
The Get Bits app intends to spread bitcon adoption by making it easy to trade between friends, as well as instil trust in users.
"Get Bits is an easy way for newcomers to get bitcoin through their Facebook friends," BitPay said in a statement.
"Get Bits currently leverages the world's largest 'web of trust', Facebook. As better decentralized solutions emerge, Get Bits will continue to evolve."

Punk Rock Tour Tales #4: Snakerattlers
Punk Rock Tour Tales is a new Shout Louder feature, where we interview bands about their tour stories. Read them all here.
Snakerattlers are a unique duo from York, playing stripped-back garage punk with an acerbic edge. Twisting memories of sun-soaked desert dirt-rock, with echoes of blues and rockabilly, they're a refreshing listen both live and on record. Intimidating and intriguing, uniformed and chaotic in equal measure, they've dubbed their style 'rattlerock'.
We spoke to guitarist and vocalist Dan Gott about their experiences out on the open road.
Of the touring you've done, what's been your favourite so far?
Definitely each time we play with The Monofones from Switzerland. We've just completed our fifth tour with these guys and each time we have more fun than the last. We consider them to be family.
What's the furthest you've ever driven to play a 30 minute set?
Not sure for a 30 minute set, but the furthest we've ever driven to play was all the way down to Deal near Dover. We broke up the drive with other shows, but it was still very far out of the way!
Have you ever looked around on tour and thought 'what the fuck is happening'?
We had punctured the tire of our hire car in Portugal. A warning alarm went off and the car began to sink at one side. That is when we thought "what the fuck is happening?" because for some reason the car was delivering the warning to us in French. It was only when we got out of the car that we saw what was going on. We had to wait for the car to be towed away, as the puncture was unable to be repaired with the kit provided, and the hire company didn't put a spare in the boot. We were very late to the show and very stressed out!
When was the first / last time that you had a 'fuck, this isn't worth it' moment?
First time: After we played what turned out to be the last show with our previous band.
Last time: Playing in Boston (Lincolnshire) to literally nobody. There was a pretty full room when we started, but obviously nobody liked us there. After we had played six of our songs, there was nobody left in the room. We shouted over to the guy on the bar that there was no point continuing. He agreed and we turned everything off, packed up and left. Never to return.
How did you overcome it?
It was one of 71 shows we did last year, so overcoming it was not difficult. The other 70 shows were all worth it. The show in Boston made us learn to look into offers a bit more before accepting them. It was the first time we realised that our music does not work in every scenario, so in a way it was quite useful.
What are your tips for surviving a tour?
Stay in Travelodges – sleeping on the floor in some random person's dirty house does not mean you are the physical embodiment of punk rock.
When picking a Travelodge, be sure to pre-book and get one off the beaten track, rather than city centre as they are usually cheaper and quieter.
No more than three shows in a row so you're not fatigued.
Eat properly – fresh vegetables or fruit wherever possible.
Take many breaks when driving.
Enjoy the exploring and travelling as much as playing the show – think of all the poor sods who are stuck in crap dayjobs.
Skip soundcheck. Just turn up half an hour before your set.
Find and buy art for your home, or get a fridge magnet from where you have been. This will bring back memories when you look at these things.
Speak to loved ones regularly, or better still take them with you.
Get things for breakfast the night before from a supermarket. Usually works out cheaper and means you can stay in your Travelodge room until kicking out time and get your money's worth.
Do you have a long-serving tour vehicle? What are its quirks?
Plub The Renault Kangoo: 2013 – 2018 (RIP)
Hersey The Skoda Roomster: 2018 – present
Plub smelt a little bit like an unwashed beard and had a very limited gear range. This made it rev like crazy, which was always pretty amusing, especially when going up a hill.
Hersey has it's name because it looks a bit like a hearse. It makes a very satisfying "clunk" sound when you close it's doors.
What's your soundtrack in the van?
Before shows: Rattlerock Roadtrip playlist (find it on Spotify!)
After shows: One play of Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf, followed by Disgraceland podcast or Red Handed podcast.
Do you have a luxury item you take with you?
Percy Pignose (yes, we assign names to everything). It's a really cool little guitar with a built-in speaker. We take it in case we get any ideas for songs whilst travelling so we can figure out the chords.
Are there any van in-jokes that are safe to share with us?
We really love in-jokes. We'd love to be a part of one some day.
If you could choose any band alive, which band would you most like to tour with?
We already do this: THE MONOFONES.
Check out Snakerattlers over on their website, Facebook, Spotify and Bandcamp.

InWin went back to the drawing board, again, and gets really close to perfection in the GRone full-tower chassis. Enthusiasts, sit up and take notice.
Going back through the various cases I have seen from InWin over the years, you can definitely see an evolution of the company. What started off as really bold and uniquely designed cases, that in my opinion were a little beyond what the masses were willing to accept, the company has over the last year or so really taken large leaps to go a bit more mainstream for its latest enclosed chassis design. I want to be very specific to enclosed cases, only because of the ingenious X-Frame and H-Frame open air chassis, and its recent addition to the InWin fleet as well, but those are in a different league all together to what we are going to be looking at shortly.
The first few cases I saw were bold, had a few tool-less features, maybe offered native USB 3.0, but no matter what, the styling was made for young buyers with a lot of the fantasy designs and naming schemes they were applying at the time.
Then came the BUC, and for all intents and purposes, it was the first chassis design from InWin that I was sold on and thought that really anyone would actually enjoy that design. Even though I was sold on what InWin was finally bringing forth in chassis designs, with its latest entry, it goes well above and beyond what we expect in an InWin chassis.
The outlook for the latest chassis to arrive for testing is the full-tower GRone. The idea here was to really go way more mainstream with the external design, but still keeping that bold styling you expect from InWin, just used much more sparingly. On the inside is where they really shake things up and are attempting now to take on the enthusiasts in the market with a chassis that has all the latest features, and is completely water cooling ready as long as you don't mind changing some of the options inside of the chassis from the way it was shipped to your house.
That all being said, look at the GRone from InWin with an open mind, as it may very well be a case that has little reason to deny that it should be a considerable force to deal with in the full-tower market.


Your shadows I'll tuck away.
It always astounds me how you can connect with people without ever having met them. I'm sure many of you have found amazing friendships through WordPress. I wanted to dedicate my poem to a faraway friend who has become an inspiration and source of strength to me…. and I'm sure to many people in our WordPress community.

Q: Some properties implied from the definition of semidirect product. Problem: Let $G$ be an inner semidirect product of $N$ by $H$. For each element of $H$, denote $\theta_h \colon N \rightarrow N$ is a map defined by $\theta_h (x) = h x h^{-1}, \forall x \in N$. Prove that:

*

*$\theta_h$ is a isomorphism of $N$ for all $h \in H$.

*The map $\theta \colon H \rightarrow \text{Aut}(N)$ defined by $\theta(h) = \theta_h$ for all $h \in H$ is a group homomorphism.

*All element $g \in G$ can be written uniquely in the form $g=xh$ in which $x \in N$ and $h \in H$.

*Suppose $g_1 = x_1 h_1$ and $g_2 = x_2 h_2$ with $x_1,x_2 \in N$ and $h_1,h_2 \in H$. Then $g_1 g_2 = (x_1 h_1) (x_2 h_2) = x_1 \theta_{h_1} (x_2) h_1 h_2$.

My proof:

*

*$\forall x,y \in N, \theta_h (xy) = h xy h^{-1} = h x h^{-1} h y h^{-1} = \theta_h (x) \theta_h (y)$. So $\theta_h$ is a group homomorphism. For each $h \in H$, we have the map $\theta_{h^{-1}}$ with $\theta_{h^{-1}} (x) = (h^{-1})x(h^{-1})^{-1} = h^{-1} x h$, implies $\theta_h \theta_{h^{-1}} (x) = h h^{-1} x h h^{-1} = x$. Hence $\theta_h$ is a group isomorphism.

*$\forall h, h' \in H$, we have $\theta (h h') (x) = \theta_{h h'} (x) = h h' x (h h')^{-1} = h h' x h'^{-1} h^{-1} = h \theta_{h'} (x) h^{-1} = \theta_h (\theta_{h'} (x)) = (\theta_h \theta_{h'}) (x)$. This follows that $\theta$ is a group homomorphism.

*$G$ is an inner semidirect product of $N$ by $H$. So we have $N,H$ are subgroup of $G$, $G=NH$, $N \triangleleft G$ and $N \cap H = \{1\}$. Is that enough to conclude that all element of $G$ can be written quiquely in the form $g=xh$, $x \in N$, $h \in H$?

*We have $g_1 g_2 = (x_1 h_1)(x_2 h_2) = x_1 h_1 x_2 h_2 = x_1 h_1 x_2 h_1^{-1} h_1 h_2$, this is the mupltiplication in $G$, so it associative, $= x_1 (h_1 x_2 h_1^{-1}) h_1 h_2 = x_1 \theta_{h_1} (x_2) h_1 h_2$.
Please check my proof and show me some hint to prove that $3$. This problem could be very easy to many people, it seems like the definition but I have to prove this. Thank all!

A: To (3), yes, but you should give the proof. If $n_{i} \in N$, $h_{i} \in H$, and $n_{1} h_{1} = n_{2} h_{2}$, then $N \ni n_{2}^{-1} n_{1} = h_{2} h_{1}^{-1} \in H$, and thus $n_{2}^{-1} n_{1} = 1 =  h_{2} h_{1}^{-1}$, as $N \cap H = \{ 1 \}$.
As to (4),
$$
(x_1 h_1) (x_2 h_2) = x_{1} h_{1} x_{2} (h_{1}^{-1} h_{1}) h_{2} = x_{1} (h_{1} x_{2} h_{1}^{-1}) h_{1} h_{2}= \dots
$$

A: 1 and 2 are fine (maybe in (2) specify that $\theta_h(1)=1$)
Hint (3): Since $G=NH$ by definition certainly every $g \in G$ can be written as $g=nh$ for some $n \in N$, $h\in H$. The part that needs to be proved is the "uniquely". So suppose that $g=n_1 h_1$ and $g=n_2 h_2$, can you prove that $n_1 = n_2$ and $h_1=h_2$?
Hint (4): what is the definition of an inner semidirect product? You are right, that is the definition of the operation... of an outer semidirect product. In the end, the two notions coincide, and what the exercise is asking you is to do a step of the proof of this fact.

Q: Using cursor to make all LONG fields with NULL values 0 in ArcPy? I have a table that I am joining to calculate several long integer fields, when the join is executed all of the values are joined as NULL that don't have values.
How can I use an Update Cursor to calculate every NULL value to 0 that is in a field that has a long integer type?
How can I expand upon this example to iterate through each field that is not a string(double, long) and change all NULL values to 0?
This only needs to be done to one field; however the script below does not update my NULL values to 0.
import arcpy

distfc = 'aFC'

with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(distfc, ["FREQUENCY"]) as cursor:
    for row in cursor:
        if row[0] ==  NONE:
            row[0] = 0
            cursor.updateRow(row)

A: Python is case sensitive--therefore, you need to replace NONE with None (a reserved word in Python)
import arcpy

distfc = 'aFC'

with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(distfc, ["FREQUENCY"]) as cursor:
    for row in cursor:
        if row[0] ==  None:
            row[0] = 0
            cursor.updateRow(row)
