The case is well known and every lawyer knows that he will have to stand up against whole system in Ireland.
Most important thing is to submit appeal to Supreme Court within the required deadline. I believe in justice although I personally experienced plenty of injustice in my life, I also believe in victory of truth against the falseness and I believe that Ms Martha wil regain freedom.
For the prosecutor, the garda, the lawyers, the jury, Irish reporters and especially for the Court it will be difficult to admit to error of wrongly convicting Ms Martha Herda for lifetime inprisonment for causing an fatal accident.
I will confess to You that I love Ireland like my own country. It is a wonderful place to live. Unfortunately dishonest people corrupt the country for profit, careers, fame and all the low motives.
It's sad that innocent people like Ms Martha suffer because of this.
I sympathize with her very much, and I know what the poor girl is going through. It's a horrible feeling, when a man is aware of being innocent and yet Court convicts him.
In Ms Martha's case it's maximum sentence, rarely used in liberal Ireland, and even if, it's only for serial killers.
It is absolutely not true that for murdering in Ireland there is only one punishment, lifetime inprisonment.
Even more for a car accident, no driver's fault, caused by a furious attack of a victim Csaba Orsos.
I don't understand the motives of Garda, Irish journalists, the jury and the court when convicting an innocent girl, victim of a car accident, for lifetime inprisonment. It's the greatest injustice I have heard of in Ireland.
Please ask Ms Martha if I can visit her in prison to talk to her.
Please give Ms Martha and her family tokens of sympathy and compassion in this difficult times.

I posted this on the Polish server but the translator makes it un readable. So in a nutshell. Good news for Martha. ECHR is starting a new Trial revision. Usually cases can take decades to get to a hearing, but now there is a remedial option between applicant and the domestic state.
So this could be resolved within the next few months.
The ECHR has announced in a press release (18 December 2018) that it is conducting a trial revision of those mechanisms relating to the initial communication of an application to a respondent state.
A "friendly settlement" is the ECHR equivalent of an out-of-court settlement in a US civil case; the ECHR must be satisfied that the conditions of a friendly settlement meet human rights requirements for that settlement to be acceptable.
According to the Directive, suspects or accused persons must be provided with access to a lawyer without undue delay after the moment of deprivation of liberty. Thus, the Directive makes it clear that the right applies from the outset of police custody, and not only if and when a detained suspect is interrogated by the police.
It follows from the Directive and the relevant ECtHR case law that the police are not entitled to interrogate a suspect who has not had a prior consultation with the lawyer, unless he has validly waived such right before the interrogation. The only situations where a derogation is possible are mentioned in the Directive, and they include circumstances where there is a pressing need to interrogate a suspect, for instance, to prevent an imminent risk to life or destruction of evidence.

EUROPE'S TOP HUMAN rights court has said that Italy failed to provide adequate legal representation for Amanda Knox, an American student acquitted in 2015 of the gruesome killing of her British housemate after spending years behind bars.
It ordered the Italian authorities to pay €18,400 in damages and legal costs.
If anyone wants to learn more about the Amanda Knox Case they can read everything about it here at this site posted above. There is also in depth discussion of the ECHR and how it works and previous case work and Judgements.
There is a thread dedicated to Marta and her miscarriage of Justice.
If anyone would like to discuss The impacts of these Judgement's or the new Introduction by the ECHR in Jan 2019 of Domestic mediation procedure which could see Marta have a response from the Irish Courts within the year.

IT Sequel Will Explore Pennywise In Greater Depth
by Andrew Auger
With the modern film adaptation of Stephen King's IT set to smash box office records this weekend, eager eyes are looking towards the confirmed sequel - with actor Bill Skarsgard teasing that IT Part 2 will take us further into the psyche of the killer clown Pennywise.
It's always difficult for an actor to take on an iconic role, let alone in the horror genre, where the terror is built on the reputation of the monsters and serial killers who keep coming back for more scares. One of the iconic B-list horror performances came from Tim Curry's over-the-top maniacal glee as kid-preying clown Pennywise in the 1990 TV mini-series IT. With a new adaptation of Stephen King's original IT novel creeping into theaters 27 years later, Skarsgard had big shoes to fill. However, if the IT trailers and early buzz are any indication, the new actor more than lives up to expectations.

In an interview with UK news outlet Metro, Skarsgard and his young IT costar Jaeden Lieberher discussed all aspects of the horror adaptation, including the already-planned sequel. While IT certainly seems to have it share of killer clown, Skarsgard seemed eager to speak about the next film, which will explore the Pennywise entity more in-depth and really get into why it terrorizes these children:
I am attached to it but that's all I can say, we're in the early stages and I'm talking to [IT director Andy Muschietti] about it and figuring out what it will be. It's a different story but I'm excited to delve in deeper to the character as there's more exploration for who Pennywise is.
For those unfamiliar with the IT story, the entity comes back to kill children in the town of Derry every 27 years. The first half of King's novel follows a group of kids as they face-off with the clown, while the second part picks up with the same kids as adults, now facing the monster yet again later in their lives. The first IT film just focuses on the portion of the novel with the kids - and speaking to Metro, Skarsgard said that he likes how the first IT movie progresses the audience's understanding of Pennywise (as setup for the sequel):
There is depth and a change in Pennywise from the first scene to the last and there's a journey there, and I'm glad you said that and it resonated with you - that's exactly what I want people to feel, "wait a minute what is this thing?" And I think that's what I wanted and that's where I want to go for the second one, to delve into the psychological and metaphysical spaces of this transdimensional being.
We'll get to see how Skarsgard captures the psychological and physical terror of the Pennywise character when IT hits theaters on Friday.

Rebecca Makkai's "The Great Believers."
This is a multi-award-winning novel that I probably would not have picked up if not for my virtual Facebook book club organized by a librarian friend of mine.
While this book does not really depict sisterhood, it does peripherally touch on the fraught relationship between one of the minor characters Fiona and her daughter, Claire, that I thought was still worth exploring here.
ISBN: 0708899110 (ISBN13: 9780708899113). Literary Awards: Andrew Carnegie Medal for Fiction (2019), National Book Award Finalist for Fiction (2018), Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Historical Fiction (2018). Borrowed from the Jurong West Public Library.
This book was not very popular with our Facebook Book Club members. A few found it uninteresting and difficult to get through. I felt otherwise. Admittedly, it took awhile to get used to the alternating timelines: 1985 with the AIDS crisis in Chicago, then 2015 in France depicting the lives of those who survived the AIDS epidemic.
At the heart of the novel is making sense of what it was like to have so many people die young – and its indelible effect on those who managed to survive. But there is also art, beauty, lust, infidelities, forged friendships, and the endless parties of the seemingly-invulnerable who have been helplessly hit hard and fast by a disease that spares no one, not even those who lived through it.
I felt that there were too many characters in the novel. It was a struggle keeping track of who's who, but after awhile, I got the hang of it. This is a story that I feel is meant to be made into a TV series. Yet despite the plot-driven narrative and the multitude of characters, it was a group that felt familiar to me: a group of friends that seemed distant but whom I did care about, albeit fleetingly. Every night, I looked forward to slipping into their skin, and learning about Yale's struggles, Fiona's failed motherhood, the fate of the art collection that is being donated to Yale's institute (who knew this could be such a page-turner), and who the disease will ravage next.
Truth be told, this is more a gay guy's novel – but evidently written from a straight female's perspective. Fiona's brother has died of the disease and she has ended up taking care of his other friends who are just about to die, barely surviving, or have lived through the AIDS crisis. There is nothing about how lesbians may have experienced the disease, it simply wasn't about that – it was primarily "Saint Fiona of Boystown" as Claire calls her mother, and not in an affectionate manner. There was a cursory mention of how a hospital in Chicago refused to treat female patients, but that was pretty much it.
I did not find Fiona's character to be sympathetic: she was flawed, lost, and filled with good intentions that did not really amount to much in the end. I had zero sympathy for her daughter, Claire, whom I felt to be entitled and took pleasure in blaming all her wrong decisions on mother issues. There was no sense of agency at all, just a convenient shifting of blame to parents who are only all-too-willing to flagellate themselves to make sense of missed opportunities and a life gone to naught.
It was interesting to witness the dynamics of mother and daughter who seemed unable to communicate in a way that suggested a genuine seeing of each other's beings. There was always the presumption of blame, fault-finding, and the stench of judgment and failure to live up to each other's perceived expectations. I breezed through the last few pages of the novel. While I would not call this one of my most unforgettable reads of the year, I enjoyed its vulnerable voice and its fearless truth.

Q: If geokit-rails no longer has geo_scope method, what I am supposed to use to get lat/long of an address Looking at the latest release of geokit-rails (2.1.0), it looks like they have removed the method geo_scope (https://github.com/geokit/geokit-rails/commit/781c4dc62d3b044196efbfad269d4780e6afbe6b).
However, the README on the github account still says to use it.
If the example they provide in the README -- "Location.geo_scope(:origin => '100 Spear st, San Francisco, CA')" -- no longer works whats the new method?
Problem I am trying to solve:
When users register for my site, I collect their mailing address, I need to convert that to lat/long and store it in my database.

A: As an alternative you could use an address verification service. Some of these include, SmartyStreets (where I work), Melissa Data, and Lob. I'm not a huge expert with the other providers, but I know with SmartyStreets you can use the street API to get latitude and longitude from an address and have the comfort of knowing that the address exists. SmartyStreets has both a US Street API and an International Street API
If you use a non address verification service like Google Maps, you run the risk of approximate latitude and longitude coordinates being returned to you.

Why Can't I Seem to Hire the Right People?
Do you struggle with hiring the right employees? It's a common problem. It's easy to be wowed by a candidate with a top-notch resume and superb interview skills. It's also easy think that because of the great resume and interview that they will be the right fit for the job, but that's not always the case. Sometimes the right person for your job is the one you least expected. Someone who is outspoken and personable in an interview is someone you would look for when trying to hire a salesperson or customer service representative, but you may not need or want those same qualities in someone who's not in a customer-facing role like a writer or equipment operator.
Sometimes just a resume and interview are not enough to determine if a candidate is the right fit for the job. There is a lot more to a person than just what's on paper. There are other aspects that should be considered when hiring for a position.
So, you may be wondering how you can find better employees that fit well in the positions for which they are hired. Upward Solutions can help you find those employees.
Upward Solutions offers the PXT Select™, a tool that can help in the hiring process. The PXT Select™ was designed to fill that gap between the candidate's resume and the interview, and it provides you with actionable data on the candidates that apply. The PXT Select™ Comprehensive Selection Report even generates unique interview questions to uncover red flags or possibly confirm your hopes that they are the right person.
With the PXT Select™, the assistance doesn't stop after a candidate is hired – it can also help the candidate to develop once they are hired with a Coaching Report for the manager.
The PXT Select™ can produce even more incredibly useful reports. For a job with multiple applicants, the PXT Select™ can produce a Multiple Candidates Report that can compare candidates to each other. It can produce a Multiple Positions Report that can help to determine which position a candidate is best suited. You can also get a Team Report that can show how well a particular person will fit into a team.
Are you ready to hire better employees? Reach out to Lori Gorrell today to get set up with PXT Select™.


Every CRM solution provider tries to convince potential customers that their CRM system is easy to use, because they know that it is one of the top decision criteria. However, there is a correlation between ease of use and value to your business. In many cases, the low cost and freemium products are in fact easy to use. Why? Because they don't do very much, plain and simple.
At Commence Corporation, we get calls every day from small to mid-size businesses that are looking to replace their CRM system because in less than one year they have already outgrown it. They tell us that the one they selected does not offer a calendar or e-mail integration. Others have limited to no customization, and no API for system integration. Some offer just basic reporting such as sales forecasts. Most have limitations galore such as the number of contacts or accounts you can store, the number of reports you can generate, and how many e-mails you can send. Moreover, when it comes to customer support the only option is e-mail.
But, let's be fair here. If the product is free or just a few dollars a month, there is no way for the vendor to provide advanced functionality or additional applications such as marketing campaign management, customer service ticketing, or project management. Nor can they afford to answer the telephone and provide free consultation. So what did you get? A low cost or free solution that you have now discovered will not meet your current or future business requirements. Here is the good news. It is easy to use.
The reason companies select these products is clear. In most cases, they did not take the time to define their business requirements. It was just easier to download a few free trials then select the one they liked the best based on cost and cosmetic appeal. Making a decision couldn't be easier. Try it for 30 days with no commitment and if you like it, just pay the monthly fee.
If you are small or home based business, these offerings may be perfect for you. However, if you are a company that is seriously looking to improve your sales, marketing, and how you provide services to your customers, then ease of use should not be your number one decision criteria.
Note: Commence CRM offers data migration services from other CRM solutions. Call 877-266-6362 for more information.

Q: Weird percentage computing with jQuery I have a carousel on my page that is acting a little funny. Though my jsfiddle works without a hitch, it operates very differently on my site.
Here's the site that's working funky: http://drainteractive.com/conceptstudio/
Here's the working jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ExRR7/13/
The code in my functions.js file is exactly the same as what is in the jsfiddle:
$('.move-left').click(function(){
$('.belt').animate({right: '-=50%'}, 0);
});

$('.move-right').click(function(){
$('.belt').animate({right: '+=50%'}, 0);
});

However, on the site, the second time I click on one of the arrows, things get bizarre. After the initial 50% jump, the belt.div moves somewhere around 600% to the right. Then about 3000%.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
EDIT: okay, the jsfiddle has +/-=25% instead of 50%, but that's not what's causing the problem.

A: I can't test but this should work
   var count = 0;

   $('.move-left').click(function(){
      count -= 50;
      $('.belt').animate({right: count + '%'}, 0);
   });

   $('.move-right').click(function(){
      count += 50;
      $('.belt').animate({right: count + '%'}, 0);
   });

Yes just like Jason P said. when you animate the .belt the first time the value of right would be auto. so jQuery add's 50% jQuery uses getComputedStyle (if I'm right)
to get the value of right so although the style attribute will be 50% getComputedStyle will return the value in px

A: Try this:
$('.move-left').click(function() {
    var width = $('.belt li').width() + 44 + 'px'; // li width + padding
    $('.belt').animate({right: '-=' + width}, 0);
});

$('.move-right').click(function() {
    var width = $('.belt li').width() + 44 + 'px'; // li width + padding
    $('.belt').animate({right: '+=' + width}, 0);
});

Q: Observations with low frequency go all in train set and produce error in predict () I have a dataset (~14410 rows) with observations including the country. I divide this set into train and test set and train my data using decision tree with the rpart() function. When it comes to predicting, sometimes I get the error that test set has countries which are not in train set.
At first I excluded/deleted the countries which appeared only once:
# Get orderland with frequency one
var.names <- names(table(mydata1$country))[table(mydata1$country) == 1]
loss <- match(var.names, mydata1$country)
names(which(table(mydata1$country) == 1))
mydata1 <- mydata1[-loss, ]

When rerunning my code, I get the same error at the same code line, saying that I have new countries in test which are not in train.
Now I did a count to see how often a country appears.
  count <- as.data.frame(count(mydata1, vars=mydata1$country))
  count[rev(order(count$n)),]

25               Singapur    1
15               Kroatien    1

From this I can see, I also have NA's in my data.
My question now is, how can I proceed with this problem?
Should I exclude/delete all countries with e.g. observations < 7 or should I take the data with observations < 7 and reproduce/repeat this data two times, so my predict () function will always work, also for other data sets?
It's somehow not "fancy" just to delete the rows...is there any other possibility?

A: You need to convert every chr variable in factor:
mydata1$country <- as.factor(mydata1$country)

Then you can simply proceed with train/test splitting. You won't need to remove anything (except NAs)
By using the type factor, your model will know that an observation country, will have some possible levels:
Example:
country <- factor("Italy", levels = c("Italy", "USA", "UK")) # just 3 levels for example
country

[1] Italy
Levels: Italy USA UK
# note that as.factor() takes care of defining the levels for you

See the difference with:
country <- "Italy"
country

[1] "Italy"

By using factor, the model will know all the possible levels. Because of this, even if in the train data you won't have an observation "Italy", the model will know that it's possible to have it in the test data.
factor is always the correct type for characters in models.

CD Review: Priory, Self-Titled
Priory is indie band zeitgeist. They're a combination of equal parts Portland (where they're based) and Brooklyn scenes, with a dose of sleepy Swedish dream pop. But I think this band is more on the cutting edge for their editorial tone. The songs on their self-titled debut are far more joyous than the jaded, slightly aloof tone that indie bands cultivate or simply wind up having because of all the layered vocal effects.
Instead, Priory's lyrics are honest and earnest. Remember how your mom was totally wrong when she said that being yourself is the coolest kind of cool there is? Well, Priory actually exposes their emotions in their songs in a very vulnerable way. With hipster rock reaching its natural end, I hope and wish that bands like Priory (along with Foster the People, etc.) at the forefront – a rejection of the fairly macho ironic distance in order to actually provide something that resonates with its audiences, while also making cool-sounding future tunes. The music is simultaneously little and big.
Priory – Lady of Late
The album opens with "Worthy Dreams," a lovely little dive into the world of the album. Its hypnotic wall of synths leads, surprisingly naturally into "Kings of Troy." It's at first a gentle country folk ballad, one of the most honest love ballads I've heard in a while, that ultimately becomes a modern rock song with soaring vocal harmonies. It's gorgeous and unabashedly so. Another highlight is the initially chilly "Devil vs. Heater," in which the protagonist (played here by vocalist Brandon Johnson) tries to fight off depression and sadness (the devil) by talking himself up (the heater) after the loss of a girlfriend. And, amazingly, it works. The song completely changes as the hero realizes he's better off, getting all jaunty and actually making the room a little warmer. The album closes out with a backwards version of "Worthy Dreams." Yes, a simple, time-honored trick. But with that, and songs about love and loss of love, Priory looks to want to make a return to the kind of honest, personal music that's not real prevalent right now. Songs about love are relatable; a backwards song is a nice bookend that makes Priory fell like a cohesive package.

Introducing the National Public Housing Museum
The planned National Public Housing Museum, expected to open in 2021, will draw attention to a highly contested subject and connect to the relevance provided by contemporary anxieties about housing.

Jane Addams Memorial Park in Chicago.

Zach Mortice reports on the organizational principles behind the National Public Housing Museum, expected to open in 2021 on the Near West Side of Chicago.
Mortice's sources for insight into the creation and expected direction for the museum include Crystal Palmer, a former public housing resident and vice chair of the museum's board, and Lisa Lee, the museum's executive director.
The museum, which is expected to be unabashedly activist, will be located inside the last remaining building of the Jane Addams Homes, built in the 1930s.
"It took 10 years of administrative wrangling to get the building from the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), and the museum hopes to open in 2021,"according to Mortice. "Since 2010, however, it has been mounting exhibitions at a variety of other venues."
A lot more about the design of the museum, and its expected exhibitions, can be found in the source article.

Rather than stop valuable production, Britain's main state-owned nuclear power company risked a meltdown of a gas-cooled nuclear reactor for more than nine hours. Nuclear power is the next industry to be privatised by the Conservative government. Closing the reactor would have led to fines for the power company from National Grid, the electricity suppliers, and would have drawn attention to a series of safety problems at nuclear power stations.
Nuclear Electric were fined "a six figure sum" at the Crown Court in mid-September for negligence during the accident in 1993 at the plant in Wylfa, north Wales. It is the world's largest Magnox-class reactor, employing 500 people.
When a 59 kg crane grab fell into the reactor and cracked a channel containing a rod of enriched uranium fuel, a partial meltdown became likely. The court heard recordings of staff discussing the financial penalties, laughing and giggling as the accident unfolded.
A meltdown would have contaminated the gas used to cool the reactor. Depressurisation in the reactor could have led to the release of radioactive gas into the atmosphere and forced the evacuation of the surrounding area.
After nine hours being unable to trace the conditions of coolant in the reactor, Nuclear Electric closed the reactor. It closed for two weeks, costing the company L3 million.
The seeming indifference of Nuclear Electric to the accident has developed fears about the safety of nuclear power in the run-up to the planned L3.5 billion sell-off of nuclear power after a program of licensing plants for safety comes to an end in December.
Friends of the Earth spokesperson Dr Patrick Green said, "If these kind of considerations take over Nuclear Electric when it is in the public sector, what is going to happen when many stations are in the private sector?".

England has moved on to the last four at the World Cup in Russia for the first time since 1990. Headed goals either side of half-time gave England a deserved 2-0 over Sweden.
Some games offer multiple and often conflicting narratives but in this case, what you saw was what you got.
The eye did not lie and this time, the statistics were in support - England was the far better team. Limitations had not stopped Sweden by-passing the likes of the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany from the qualifying stage through the World Cup Finals but England pretty much cruised through this game without having to hit high gear.
England moved the ball with more confidence, was quicker to loose balls and looked to be far better prepared - the latter being a surprise considering how far Sweden had progressed based on its limited options.
England posed a consistent attacking threat with the pace and movement of Raheem Sterling a thorn in the side of the Swedish defense.
England outshot Sweden 12 to 9, had a 58/42 possession advantage, completed more passes (400 to 266) and had a higher completion rate of 79.8% to 72.4%.
England often forced Sweden to opt for long passes from defense to attack and more times than not it finished with England regaining possession.
Set plays have been a key to England's success so far. Whether it be corner kicks, free kicks or penalty kicks England have executed well and it has paid off handsomely.
Such has been England's success that a goal from open play - Dele Alli's back post header that gave England a 2-0 lead - is noteworthy.
England has now scored 8 of its 11 goals from set plays. The eighth came from a Harry Maguire header from an Ashley Young corner kick. It was Maguire's first international goal but it was only a matter of time given the role he has played in England's set play plans.
Maguire has been hugely impressive at this World Cup and is clearly a defender who loves being in the opposition's penalty area. Through a series of choreographed runs, the England attack created a pocket of space for Maguire and left him isolated against a Sweden "marker" (Forsberg) who was totally outmatched against the England defender's size and strength.
It is a bit ironic that England's opening goal came from an ability to expose the limitations of man-to-man marking at corner kicks.
The merit of man-to-man marking versus zonal marking has been a debate that has gone on for decades in England. The loudest of the protagonists having little time for the "foreign" notion of players being tasked with defending pre-determined areas versus the "traditional" big man on big man, little man on little man approach.
It will be interesting to see how some pundits explain this away now.
One area where Sweden held a statistical advantage was shots on target, 3 to 2. But on each attempt, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford came out best.
Pickford made a terrific save just after half-time from Marcus Berg header and with 20 minutes left it was Pickford again, this time tipping a rising Berg shot over the bar. For Berg, it was more of the same - many chances at this World Cup but not a goal to show for it.
In between Pickford thwarting Berg, he also pulled off an important stop on midfielder Viktor Claesson.
Jordan Pickford is now the youngest England goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a #WorldCup match (24y 122d).
At halftime, Sweden had only been trailing at this World Cup for a matter of 15 minutes and a few seconds - the few seconds the difference between Toni Kroos' winning goal in the second match and the referee blowing for full-time.
Maguire's goal after half-an-hour put Sweden into foreign territory and it was clear that they simply did not have the creativity and offensive weapons to recover.
Guidetti, a player with an eye for a goal, came into the game after 65 minutes but did not make an impact. As part of that double substitution, Sweden withdrew Emil Forsberg, the most creative player amongst a throng of journeymen.
The only thing Sweden had left was desperation and although they did manage to manufacture a couple of good chances it was more a case of hit or miss rather than part of a well thought out approach to put England under pressure for a sustained period of time.
Tottenham Hotspur has been labeled as a team dependent on Harry Kane's goals and inspiration. After four games at the World Cup, the same accusations had surfaced about England.
With Kane accounting for 6 goals out of England's total of 9 going into this game there was more than an element of truth in such comments.
However, against Sweden Kane was largely anonymous. He only had one attempt on goal - a shot from outside the penalty box he pulled wide - had limited success winning headers and he really could not get in the game.
The fact that both goals were scored by players not called Kane is a bonus going forward. It takes some pressure off of Kane and it sends a warning to the future opposition that they cannot simply key their defensive approach on Harry Kane.
England will play Croatia in the second semifinal on Wednesday. For the first time since 2002 when Brazil and Turkey made it to the last four, two teams from the same group have matched that feat.
Belgium and England could go one better and repeat what happened in Chile in 1962 when Brazil and Czechoslovakia played each other in the group stage and again in the final. The same thing happened in 1954 with Hungary and West Germany.

So, the Daily Mail has an article about the 50 things the average person wants to achieve during their lifetime, along with the caveat that the average person only actually does five of the 50.
1. Become a millionaire—Would like to do.
2. Travel the world—Would like to do only once no. 1 has been achieved.
3. See the Northern Lights—Would like to do.
4. Trek the Great Wall of China—No thanks.
6. Go to the Inca Trail—No thanks.
7. See all seven wonders of the world/8. Visit the Egyptian Pyramids—You can't visit all seven wonders these days, and the pyramids are one of them anyway. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing the ones that are left.

Summary: A man's nervous breakdown causes him to leave his wife and live in his attic for several months.
Every now and then a role comes along that allows an actor to really show what they are capable of. Think of the sadly departed Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight or Sir Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs. That moment has now come for Bryan Cranston, a man who has shown that he has many talents in the acting game – from outrageous comedy in the hit Malcolm In The Middle through to award winning dramatic acting at its best in the cult favourite Breaking Bad. Now comes Wakefield, a dramatic film that sees Cranston at his very best – in a role that would stretch the abilities of any actor.
From director Robin Swicord (The Jane Austen Book Club, Red Coat) Wakefield sees Cranston (Argo, Drive) play Howard Wakefield, a man who feels like he is not appreciated by his beautiful wife, Diana (Jennifer Garner – Dallas Buyers Club, Juno) and their two daughters. When he arrives home late one night from work and sees his wife throwing out his dinner and not acting too 'worried' he decides to fake his own disappearance and watch her from the attic.
During this time Howard reflects on things like how he dishonestly gained Diana's affections while she was actually dating his best friend Dirk Morrison (Jason O'Mara – One For The Money, Resident Evil: Extinction) while speculating what her intentions are with their handsome friend and colleague, Ben Jacobs (Ian Anthony Dale – The Hangover, The Bucket List) and also the plotting that is going on between her and her mother, Babs (Beverley D'Angelo – American History X, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation).
While the film doesn't strive to be an intense thriller there is an air of suspense that remains throughout the film. Robin Swicord's screenplay does leave the audience asking a lot of questions throughout the film which only enhances that suspense. While the synopsis of the film reads that these events follow from Howard having a nervous breakdown that is not always clear during the film and at times you find yourself wondering what kind of cruel husband/father could put their family through such a psychological game. That is only enhanced when you see what Howard was willing to do his best friend Dirk in order to win the affection of Diana.
To Swicord's credit though she allows her audience to never truly hate Howard as she also shows his softer side by befriending the disabled teenagers from next door, Emily (Pippa Bennet-Warner – Harlots, Sick Note) and Herbert (Isaac Leyva – Any Day Now), when they seem to be shunned by the rest of the neighbourhood. The screenplay also allows a great insight into Howard's mind with some well written, a never boring, monologues which are delivered throughout the film and by the time Howard's stay in the attic hits winter and has a negative effect on his health we know that there is something seriously wrong with the man.
What sets Wakefield apart from the similar story in the great Australian film Tom White is the style. Swicord takes some pretty big risks in Wakefield, and luckily they all work. Having a lot of voiceover and monologues in a film has the real risk of boring the audience but that is never the case here and instead they become an impressive way for Howard to voice his thoughts to the audience. Likewise the fact that we see everything from Howard's point-of-view, we rarely hear what Diana is saying to anyone throughout the film, gives a real one-sided view of events that only enhances how the audience warms to Howard despite his actions. Then of course there is the constant suspense throughout the film as the audience wonders what is going to happen when (if) Diana ever learns that Howard is living in the attic.
The stylistic approach of Wakefield might mean this is a film not enjoyed by everybody but if you are a serious film lover who likes a good character driven film then this may well be a film that you will enjoy. An intriguing screenplay is only made better by a performance that shows the world just what a great talent Bryan Cranston really is.
Director Paul Hamburg is no stranger to making hit comedies. He is the man behind films such as Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers and this holiday season sees him return to that tried and true meet-the-in-laws formula with Why Him?, a film that essentially pits Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston against Oscar-nominated actor James Franco.
So was it the fact that Laird Mayhew that is comedy gold that drew Franco to the role? "I think the first thing that drew me to the movie was John Hamburg," explains Franco. "He was actually my teacher at NYU when I was there for the Graduate Film Media program. He was actually my teacher there when I was doing 127 Hours, so I wasn't there a lot but we talked a lot and I got to know him on the phone but yeah he was the initial thing that drew me to this, and I've always liked his writing. And then I heard, and he told me that he was thinking about Bryan Cranston for the father role, and I didn't know Bryan, but I saw him backstage on the last episode of The Colbert Report, and he said 'hey I heard you might do this and I might do this. What do you think?' so we started talking, and Bryan Cranston is just the greatest human being ever.
Of course playing alongside Franco in Why Him? is Bryan Cranston who aside from playing Walter in Breaking Bad had a long stretch playing a frustrated father in hit comedy Malcolm In The Middle, so what was it like for Franco to co-star alongside a comedy legend. "I think he had a blast," says Franco laughing out loud. " He hasn't really done comedy since Malcolm In The Middle, and what was that over ten years ago now, so I think he had a great time actually and you wouldn't expect that Bryan is sort of the one to push the envelope, but he would always make a suggestion for a scene that was just too far, not only for his character but for everybody and I love that. I mean that I love that in Bryan.
The fact that the cast had so much fun making the film is not a surprise when you walk out of a theatre still laughing after viewing Why Him? – a film that has turned into a surprise comedy hit this summer.
Why Him? is showing in cinemas right now.
This week on The Good The Bad The Ugly Film Show Adam, Dave, Greg and Nick take a look at new release films 'A United Kingdom,' 'Allied,' 'Paterson,' 'La La Land,' 'Gimme Danger,' 'Red Dog: True Blue,' and 'Why Him?'.
This episode also contains interviews with Marion Cotillard, Robert Zemekis, James Franco, Zoey Deutch, Bryan Cranston, Mark D'Angelo (Docklands Drive-In Cinema), Kristy Mathison (Gimme Danger/ACMI), Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche), Kieran Darcy-Smith (The Duel) and George Kacevski (Remember).

Best Male Country Singers of All Time
danleecarolina
1 Johnny Cash John R. "Johnny" Cash (1932-2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author, who was widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century and one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. He died of ...read more.
Johnny I agree, but who came up with this list? I see some of the all time greats, Hank Williams..Willie Nelson, etc? In what alternate universe is Florida Georgia line on a list and Merle Haggard not seen? Just one of many. As for today's artists, Chris Stapleton is above and beyond anything you hear on the airwaves today. My opinion.
I grew up with his spectacular voice and his great T.V. performances. He was so cool back in them days.
Hank you to the 11% who voted Johnny #1, this guy deserves to be on the list but really, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia line, that stuff is a pathetic excuse of country music
Hurt I walk the line ain't no grave jackson with june carter get a rhythm highwayman and a boy named sue was amazing to bad he died
2 Blake Shelton Blake Tollison Shelton is an American country singer and television personality. In 2001, he made his debut with the single "Austin".
Amazing singer
Blake Has The Good Country Songs I Like That One Song God Gave Me You Cause The Reason Why I Like it is Because I Want To Pray For People Who Die Like My Family I Want To Pray For Them When They Die Too Plus My Siblings That Are in Prison Like My Brothers They Are in Prison And God Gave Me You is About Praying
He comes across as to be genuine,not I'm famous and you should bow down to me
How is he so high? Are these people high?!
3 George Jones
He was a country song
Most emotive and authentic country singer ever!
Longevity longevity and impact.
Best country singer
4 Hank Williams Hiram King "Hank" Williams, was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His band was called "The Driftin' Cowboys"
Hank founded country music basically
Hank was the greatest country singer that ever got behind a microphone, and comparing his songs to johnny cashes copied folsom prison, johnny can't even be in the same room, there's only a few real country artists out there, and hank was the best!
Other than Jimmie Rodgers there were ""No"" country singers before Hank who this Englishman started listening to in 1951/2 and just thin he's the greatest.
Most influential singer and songwriter of all time. All of the best singers name him as an influence. Hank was the best singer to ever walk the streets of nashville.
5 George Strait
GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIMES, HE IS THE BEST
The KING of Country unicorns in my opinion!
Of all the things he has accomplished, #1 songs, albums etc... I believe George Strait has earned the title the king and should be at the top.
George is great, but the real king is George Jones.
6 Willie Nelson Willie Hugh Nelson is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie, combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger and Stardust, made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music.
Not a terrible list, but both Willie and Merle Haggard need to be top 20 if not top ten.
7 Garth Brooks Troyal Garth Brooks is an American singer and songwriter. His integration of rock and roll elements into the country genre has earned him immense popularity in the United States.
Love Garth for his generosity to the LGBT community. His support for human rights is unparalleled.
He has the most best country songs I have ever heard!
He's a sexy man!
Garth Brooks was the first country singer to "crossover" into the mainstream like no one had done it before. I saw him just before he hit national fame at Grahams in Oklahoma City. I remember he dedicated a song to his favorite 3 country singers; George Jones, George Jones and George Jones. At the time I had never heard of him being from Brooklyn and not a real country fan. I was there to dance and was surprised that a crowd was gathering around his band instead of dancing; but I remember saying that he was pretty good for a country singer. Little did I know.
8 Kenny Chesney Kenneth Arnold "Kenny" Chesney is an American country singer and songwriter. He has recorded 20 albums, 14 of which have been certified gold or higher by the RIAA.
Love Him!
9 Waylon Jennings
The best of all time
Waylon was like the stallion in the sky. The angels of heaven circle him to honor him as he rides his horse through heaven. And when you hear his music on earth it's like the earth angels are everywhere!
This list is laughable. Waylon Jennings has no other spot than 1.
Who can top WAylon? No one. Ever. Period.
10 Luke Bryan Thomas Luther Bryan, known professionally as Luke Bryan, is an American country music singer and songwriter.
I got a dead cat that can sing better than him.
Luke is the best singer that ever walked the face of this planet! Have you like never heard his songs! He is so sweet and a great father!
My Favorite Country Singer Is Luke Bryan He Is Attractive Kind Sweet Gorgeous Pretty Perfect Hot Sexy Country And His Smile Turns Me On He Has A Great Body He Is Awesome He Is Cute He Is My Rock He Is My Top Personl Favorite Country Singer I Love His Songs I Love To Listen To Him And To His Songs He Has Amazing Voice And He Such A Hunky Guy He Has Great Body Sweet Abs And I What To Date Luke Bryan
How is he not in the Top Ten? I mean, have ANY of you heard "Most people are good" or "Country Girl (Shake it for Me Girl)? Seriously.
11 Kenny Rogers Kenneth Ray "Kenny" Rogers is an American singer, songwriter, actor, record producer, and entrepreneur. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Kenny is the best of all in my opinion, nobody can embody a song like he does, you feel his pain, soar with his joy, he is just the best
Kenny is a great singer. I love his songs, they thrill me. He needs to be ranked a little higher. Come on people vote for him!
Have to agree with your comment. My Mother likes him so he gets my vote. - Britgirl
He is a legendary romantic singer I like him a lot
12 Brad Paisley
He has the most beautiful love songs! Yet he also has the best sense of humor and he's so great w his funny songs! He gets what the issues are too and he takes chances... And I love his voice!

A fantastic talent!
13 Darius Rucker

22 Jason Aldean Jason Aldine Williams, known professionally as Jason Aldean, is an American country music singer. Since 2005, Jason Aldean has been signed to Broken Bow Records, a record label for which he has released eight albums and 24 singles.

Come on even Keith urban is top ten aldean should definitely be ahead of him
Top ten for sure
I love your songs. I'm your biggest fan.From Shelby
23 Hank Williams Jr.
Hank made country music what it is today. They brought electric guitars in country because of him

24 Marty Robbins
Marty is the best ever. Singer, songwriter, actor, author etc. I love watching his DVD's and listening to his music. Everyday is not enough.
El Paso is a legendary song and people of all ages still love this guy whenever they hear his music.

C'mon y'all, just look at him. His voice is great, he treats his wife and kids like wonderfully, looks like an angel cake down from the heavens to save us all, and is just a great guy overall. I went to a concert and he was so funny and great all around. TR deserves to be at the top of the list
Thomas Rhett is the BEST! I can't wait for his daughter to be born! Thomas and Lauren will make great parents.. I mean, come on, his new single was named song of the year, and he was named male vocalist of the year at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.. Go Rhett! Fun Fact: Rhett's full name is Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. He was named after his father, who's stage name was Rhett Akins..

29 Merle Haggard Merle Ronald Haggard was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band the Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound.

Francis Trowbridge Sherman''' (1825–1905) was a Union general during the American Civil War.  He served in the cavalry and infantry, seeing action in both the Western Theater and Eastern Theater.

Biography

Early life
Sherman was born in Connecticut in 1825 but his family moved to Illinois in 1834 where his father, Francis Cornwall Sherman became heavily involved in Chicago politics serving as alderman and mayor of the city and as a state representative.  Francis T. Sherman traveled to West to participate in the California Gold Rush before returning to Illinois.

Civil War service
Early in the Civil War began, Sherman served as lieutenant colonel of the 56th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment and major of the 12th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Cavalry without seeing any significant action.  On September 4, 1862 he was appointed colonel of the 88th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment (a.k.a. 2nd Board of Trade Regiment).  Sherman led his regiment at the battles of Perryville and Stones River.  He was not with the army during the battle of Chickamauga but took command of a brigade shortly after the battle.  His brigade became the 1st Brigade in Philip H. Sheridan's 2nd Division of the newly formed IV Corps.  Sherman was one of the brigade commanders that made the charge up Missionary Ridge during the battle of Chattanooga.  He continued leading his brigade during the early part of the Atlanta Campaign at Rocky Face Ridge and Resaca before he was appointed as the chief of staff to the IV Corps.  He served in that capacity during the rest of the campaign until he was captured outside Atlanta on July 7, 1864.  He was officially exchanged on October 7, 1864 and was assigned to the Army of the Potomac as the assistant inspector general of the Cavalry Corps during the Appomattox Campaign.  Sherman was brevetted to brigadier general on March 13, 1865 and received a full promotion to brigadier general of volunteers on July 21, 1865.  He was mustered out of the volunteer services on January 15, 1866.

Later life

Following the war General Sherman embarked on a series of business ventures starting with managing a sugar plantation in Louisiana for a year before returning to Chicago.  Back in Chicago he worked as the postmaster of Chicago for two years before starting a stone and sand manufacturing company called Sherman, Haley & Company. The business was ruined in 1871 by the Great Chicago Fire which forced Sherman to seek business ventures elsewhere in the U.S. before he settled in Waukegan, Illinois where he died in 1905.

He was buried at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.

Update: Deadline extended -- again -- in Time Warner Cable-CBS dispute
Updated: Jan. 03, 2019, 4:45 p.m. | Published: Jul. 30, 2013, 1:08 a.m.
Earns Time Warner Cable_001.jpg
A dispute with Time Warner Cable was unresolved Monday evening, as officials extended a deadline for a deal.
Update: Deadline has again been extended until midnight Eastern time.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- A dispute with Time Warner Cable was unresolved as a deadline loomed involving the availability of stations in three major markets, CBS Corp. chief executive Les Moonves said Monday.
If it's not settled, six CBS TV stations could go dark for around 3 million Time Warner Cable customers in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.
CBS Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc. are in the public spat over fees in the markets.
Moonves told the Television Critics Association the deadline to resolve the dispute was 5 p.m. EDT Monday. Later, both companies said they extended the deadline to 8 p.m. EDT. As that deadline came, they extended it again for at least another hour. The latest reports state that it has been extended until 10 p.m.
The disagreement centers mainly on how much Time Warner Cable pays for the right to retransmit signals from the CBS-owned stations.
Also involved is a possible blackout of CBS-owned Showtime for Time Warner Cable customers nationwide who pay extra for it.
Discussions were continuing and Moonves said he hopes the stations don't go dark.
"As we've said, we feel like we should be paid for our programming," he said. He declined to offer further details, saying he didn't want to negotiate in public.
Dozens of blackouts have occurred nationwide in fee fights over the years, but many get resolved at the last minute.
Selling retransmission rights has become a big business for broadcasters such as CBS. Research firm SNL Kagan estimates retransmission fees will reach $3 billion industrywide this year and double to $6 billion by 2018.
Time Warner Cable has said it's resisting a fee hike demand by CBS so prices don't go up for customers. CBS said Time Warner Cable isn't agreeing to terms that its competitors have accepted.
If the fight continues, some Time Warner Cable customers could lose access to new episodes of "Under the Dome" and the 15th season of "Big Brother." Both are available online after a slight delay.
