2021 Pro Baseball All-Star Game: Latest Odds, Trends

Bet baseball with William Hill, America's #1 sportsbook.
The biggest stars in the game are ready to shine in the 91st MLB All-Star Game tonight.
This year's Midsummer Classic is out in Coors Field, with first pitch slated for 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT on FOX. Shohei Ohtani and Max Scherzer are the starting pitchers for the two teams, with Ohtani also batting leadoff for the American League.
The National League, serving as the home team, opened as a -108 moneyline favorite at William Hill Nevada to prevail in the All-Star Game over the American League (-102 opener). That line has shifted slightly, with the NL up to -110 and the AL now residing at even-money odds.
"National League is a slight favorite pretty much because they get last at-bat," said Nick Bogdanovich, Director of Trading for William Hill US. "With the game right around pick'em, I'm not expecting too big of a decision one way or the other. There have been years where one side has been favored by 30, 40, 50 cents, but the rosters and the pitching look pretty even here."
The total, meanwhile, has actually jumped up by half a run from where William Hill first posted it.
"When it's warm at Coors, just average fly balls become home runs," Bogdanovich said. "We opened 10.5 over -120, and now we're at 11 under -115. We're dead even to the total, and we've been getting good action on it. With the Coors factor and all the pitchers throwing, the total is definitely intriguing in this game."
The American League has attracted 53% of the total number of tickets and 63% of the total dollars wagered among all moneyline bets, including one New Jersey bettor staking $18,196.70 on American League -102 for a total potential payout of $36,036.60. That is the largest 2021 MLB All-Star Game wager taken thus far at William Hill.
William Hill bettors are divided on the total, though. While the over has the advantage with 58% of the total number of tickets, the under has the edge with 54% of the total dollars wagered.
There are many other markets being offered by William Hill in several states, including All-Star Game MVP. Shohei Ohtani is the +350 favorite there, followed by Fernando Tatis Jr. (+450), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+600) and Aaron Judge (+700).

A Bektashi Story in Tanzimat Period How did Huseyin Yasar Baba Became An Atheist?
Eray Yılmaz Yıldız Teknik University
Keywords: Bektashi, Ottoman identity, Tanzimat period, Ottomanism, Albania
The Bektashi lodge, which was liquidated with the Janissary in 1826, has been tried to be sunnificated within the modern identity policy that the center implements from this date and it has been confronted with accusations such as being hypocrite and atheist. In the Tanzimat period, the identity politics continued, and the Bektashi lodge and the Bektashis were faced with accusations such as hypocrite and atheist, and it was desired to be liquidated from political and social life. In this article, firstly the identity policies applied in the Tanzimat period were evaluated briefly and then the identity politics and Sunnification policies applied to Bektashis in this period were examined based on Ottoman archival documents. The basic problem which has been stressed in this article is to discuss how and for what reasons Huseyin Yasar Baba, a Bektashi reverend, was accused during the Tanzimat era and to point out how the political aspects of the religious aspects of that matter constitute an intersection for Ottoman rule. According to the Ottoman rule, the Bektashis were both out of the Sunni understanding and beyond the political circle. The fact that Huseyin Yasar Baba was accused of being an imprisoned person and that the Ottoman policies applied during the Tanzimat period, along with the Sunnification policies as seen in the example of Bektashi, show that these policies should be reassessed within the framework of secularism.

I personally think the most OP melee weapon is definitely the Flairon. In saying the best, I'm unsure. "Best" refers to an overall rating of any weapon, and I'm still too new to this update to say anything currently.
In the last few patches I was primarily a ranged player (I had the Sniper Rifle and full Shroomite Armor — massive damage), but now I'm going melee; this is primarily because of how broken the Flairon is, lol.
I'm more of a mixed class character. I always take along different loadouts with me in a safe. But I am partial towards my spear. (Gungnir FTW!) But really, the best sword is the Terra Blade or the Horseman's blade, best spear is the Mushroom Spear, the best flail is the Flairon, and the best spell is just a matter of one's playstyle. The best gun is the Zapinator, which was removed from the game. The best USABLE gun, again, depends on your playstyle.
I use the magic class but I still think the best weapon is the Flairon.
In my opinion. The best Weapon(s) is The Terra, With the Possesed Hatchet, Rainbow Gun, Full Drag Armor, and Megashark.
The best weapon doesn't always depend upon the stats. I look for one that has decent stats and also trains you well, and will work anywhere.
My conclusions? The absolute worst weapon is the Razorblade Typhoon, with Flairon up there as well. They require no skill at all to play.
Those that do? Both the Razorpine and the Inferno Fork have a well-balanced learning curve and are decent in combat.
For a ranger, the Stake Launcher and Pulse Bow are both excellent options - if you can work it right, the Pulse Bow provides a staggering advantage in stealthy and fleeing combat.
As for melee... I will first proceed to bash the a Horseman's Blade for its lack of difficulty, and then go endorse a weapon I believe was supposed to have its 15 minutes of fame, but never got it. The North Pole is the one I speak of.
Sure - unmatched melee DPS until 1.2.4 came around with Feeshran. But really, really difficult to work right. I know people who have played with it for a long time and still cannot work it right.
Best does not mean stats.
The thing about late game weaponry is you don't usually require much skill, and the weapons that do require skill like the candy corn rifle, paladins hammer and jack o lantern launcher are horribly ignored. Most of the time I use my paladins hammer for the moons or the North Pole, the flairon is boring to use, even if it wrecks everything.
I'll say it's fun to shred things, but not good.
now after some DF farming, Ranged is IMO the best class even though some people say Red underdeveloped it, Red said his favourite class was ranger and I can understand why. When my brain is not in frost moon mode (rapid chain gun, chlorophyte bullets, the bane of skill), I find weaponry like the pulse bow, tac shotty, stynger and tsunami very fun and interesting to use. The great thing about rangers is the vast modification of ammo which allows them to stick on a choice of about 10 different debuffs, homing, splash, exploding, fun and star spamming projectiles on the same weapon. Who does not want that? The one gripe with rangers recently is the annoyance of specialised ammo for some of the stranger weapons like the jack olantern, stake launcher and candy corn rifle ( even the dear stynger) as it removes the variety of rangers and their whole uniqueness. I also like the fact that there are no wall hacking or life stealing ranger weapons, making them a more honest approach. That is also the reason why rangers aren't often rebalanced ( apart from the exploding bullets/ stynger thingy, but two separate damages is not what was intended).
For melee, Meowmere or star warth, for ranged, rocket launcher with rocket III, for magic i prefer it is choice of you.
The Rocket Launcher has straight upgrades in the Celebration and Snowman Cannon.
hands down the best weapon in the Snowman Cannon, and the Class 4 rockets , there homing missles and destroy stuff FAST.
It's the Lunar Flare, but based on comments I think that you guys are talking about 1.2, in which it is the Snowman Cannon.
I agree Terra Blade and Horseman's Blade are very good.
Best Magic Weapon is last prism, most useful one is Blizzard Staff. Ranged, best is Sniper Rifle w/ Chlorophyte. Tried both on Solar Flare users, Sniper Rifle dominated.
What is the best Solar Tower killing weapon?
Lunar flare, meomere, Palladin's hammer, terrarian, last prism, and the S.D.M.G are all great picks for your customisation. It really depends on the player's personality.
I feel that the Last Prism with the Mana Flower, Celestial Cuffs, Ankh Shield, Frost Spark Boots, and the Sorcerer Emblem with Arcane on all of them as well as Nebula Armor is the most OP, best damage set up of all time.
For Console/PE players, I suggest using the Razor Pine with the Mana Flower, Celestial Cuffs, Ankh Shield, Frost Spark Boots, and the Sorcerer Emblem with Arcane on all of them as well as Spector Armor.
Just for the mage players :) Be sure to add at least 3 stacks of greater mana potions with that.
Probabbly the Terablade or Horsemans Blade.
The copper shortsword... lol just kidding the death sickle or terrablade. death sickle for pvp and terrablade for enemies or if you just want to wreck noobs.
Personly, i like the SDMG and Fetid Baghnakhs. Fetid Baghnakhs with the right set up can have tons of Dps. I've goten it so when you swing it you can only see one frame of if.
Also with a Yoyo Bag the Terrarian is OP.
But my favorite for damage is the Last Prism.
Broken Wooden Hammer for sure.
i like the weak copper shortsword better.
Yeah but the broken wooden hammer has better effects when fully harnessed.
I play mage so my favorites for now are crystal storm, magic dagger, cursed flames, death sicle, nimbus rod, laser rifle and frost staff. When out of mana i use Sharanga and nights edge. Out of this weaponary you might be able to guess, that i just wrecked WoF and had been very lucky to get all these weapons in 3h of playing hardmode. + hallowed key mold, megahone, fast clock and frocen Turtle shield thingy. Which device i play on?
yep, old-gen console, sharangra is conole only pretty sure, and mimics r not in mobile yet.
The flying dragon can deal more than terra blade because of it's projectile and is amazing for crowd control. The only difference in the timing of getting them is the fact that betsy is post-golem and terra blade is post mechanical bosses. I think the terra blade and flying dragon are equal, but you can think what you want.


Tomorrow, we will post the three candidate definitions that PRSA's Definition of Public Relations Task Force developed in conjunction with our international partners. Rather than putting these definitions to a vote, we will instead open up the forum for public comment and debate.
The qualitative feedback we receive then will be analyzed and presented at a second Definition of PR Summit, which PRSA will host in early February. This Summit will allow our allied partners to make final revisions to the draft definitions based on your feedback. Following that, we will ask you to vote on a preferred definition.
Our intention is to announce the new definition of public relations the week of Feb. 27, following a two-week public voting period.
Regardless of whether you love 'em, hate 'em or something in between, be sure to voice your thoughts on the candidate definitions. After all, we want the definition to be yours, as well as ours, and I think you'll agree that we all want to get it right.
Our instinct is that good things will come to those of us waiting.
I applaud PRSA for taking the leadership on this project and for being methodical in the process. While it will not be an easy road, your involvement of other groups, individual professionals and the public is wonderful. It should (and I hope will) make the end result something we can all be proud of.

Council-Manager Form of Government. The City of Lake Dallas adheres to the Council-Manager form of government, combining the political leadership of the mayor and council with the professional management capabilities of a City Manager. The City Manager, who is appointed by the City Council, oversees the City's day-to-day operations as Chief Executive Officer of the City and its departments and employees.
City Council Duties
Provides representation of the Lake Dallas
Enacts policy legislation through ordinances and resolutions
Approves the City's annual budget
City Manager Duties
Serves the as chief adviser to the council
Prepares and executes the annual budget
Implements the Council's policy decisions
Guides the delivery of services to the community
Provides vision and leadership to the organization
Oversees enforcement of all City ordinances, resolutions, contracts, rules, and regulations
Hires, terminates, recruits, and supervises employees
Home Rule
Texas cities fall in one of two categories: home rule or general law. The Texas Municipal League summarizes Texas government best:
Home rule cities are cities with populations of more than 5,000 in which citizens have adopted home rule charters. A charter is a document that establishes the city's governmental structure and provides for the distribution of powers and duties among the various branches of government. To be enacted, the charter must be approved by the citizens at an election. Likewise, changes in the charter must be approved by the voters.
The legal position of home rule cities is the reverse of general law cities. Rather than looking to state law to determine what they may do, as general law cities must, home rule cities look to the State Constitution and State Statutes to determine what they may not do. Thus, if a proposed home rule city action has not been prohibited or pre-empted by the State, the city generally can proceed. (Source: TML 2010 Handbook for Mayors and Councilmembers.)
Lake Dallas is a home rule, municipal corporation of the State of Texas. As a home rule city, Lake Dallas operates under a City Charter. Although the City is still subject to several state and federal laws, the charter enumerates the City's powers and provides details about its form of government. This includes the administrative and political structure, as well as governing procedures of the City Council and other boards and commissions.
Under the direction of the City Manager, the City Secretary is the public official responsible for the recording, filing, managing, and maintaining all public records of the City as defined by the rules, regulations and statutes of the State of Texas as administered by the Texas Secretary of State. The City Secretary also presides over all City elections, including early voting and attends all meetings of the City Council and various other official meetings of the City and its appointed committees. Her position is responsible for the supervision of the Municipal Court Clerk and Municipal Court activities. The City Secretary performs other work assigned by the City Manager and assists with various duties as necessary.

On May 21, the California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, held that an insured who alleged deceptive claims handling practices in violation of the unfair competition law (UCL) but was never denied benefits, lacked standing to pursue a UCL cause of action.
In Schwartz v. Provident Life and Accident Insurance Co., et al., defendants Provident Life and related companies (collectively "insurers") sold disability insurance that provided monetary benefits to individuals who, due to injury or illness, were unable to work in their chosen occupations. Plaintiff Rick Schwartz was an insured under a policy he purchased in 1988 and maintained to date. Schwartz paid a fixed monthly premium of $371.44 in exchange for the insurer's promise to pay a monthly benefit of $11,220 in the event of disability. Schwartz has never become disabled and has never filed a claim for benefits.
In 2005, the commissioner of the California Department of Insurance entered into a settlement agreement with the insurers resolving allegations that they wrongly denied benefits to certain insureds who had filed claims. Without admitting fault, the insurers paid an $8 million civil penalty and agreed to revaluate the claims they had previously denied and to modify their claims handling practices going forward.
Soon after the settlement, Schwartz filed this action against the commissioner and insurers on behalf of insureds who had not been denied benefits and therefore received no direct benefit from the settlement. Schwartz alleged the insurers operated a "systematic scheme" from 1994 to 2005 of improperly denying and terminating policyholders' legitimate disability claims. Schwartz and the class he purported to represent alleged the value of their insurance was diminished by the insurers' improper claims procedures and wrongful denial of benefits to other insureds. Schwartz sought a writ of mandate to compel the commissioner to reopen his investigation and pursue relief for policyholders who, like Schwartz, had not been denied benefits but who allegedly suffered economic injury. Schwartz alleged several causes of action including a claim that the insurers' alleged deceptive claims handling practices violated the UCL.
The trial court dismissed the mandamus cause of action against the commissioner and the Court of Appeal affirmed that order, finding that even assuming Schwartz and the purported class suffered economic harm as a result of the insurers' claims practices that have now been corrected, the commissioner's decision not to pursue any remedy on their behalf was not an abuse of discretion.
In July 2011, the trial court granted the insurers' motion for summary adjudication on the UCL cause of action based on Schwartz and the purported class' lack of standing. The trial court noted the UCL provides no relief to a person who has not suffered injury as a result of the alleged unfair competition. Schwartz voluntarily dismissed all of his causes of action and judgment was entered in favor of the insurers. Schwartz appealed.
On appeal, Schwartz based his argument of purported harm on the report of an economics expert who concluded that the insurers' improper claims practices lowered the value of all of the policies. The Court of Appeal found that at most, the expert's analysis posited potential, not actual harm, to the purported class of policyholders. The court also noted that the economist's theory of group harm disregarded the UCL's requirement of individual harm.
The court found that Schwartz's argument ignored the fact that the insurers' practices had now been modified. The court explained, "Whatever financial loss [Schwartz] would have suffered had he become disabled and been denied benefits in the past, he in fact did not become disabled, and should he suffer a disability in the future he presumably will receive the benefits to which he is entitled." The Court of Appeal therefore affirmed the trial court's order, finding that the harm to Schwartz and the purported class was no more than a potentiality and entirely speculative, which was insufficient to confer standing.

Sheila Crispin, with her two collies in Cumbria
Today marks the official launch of the new Dog Advisory Council on the Welfare Issues in Dog Breeding.
The launch of the Council follows Pedigree Dogs Exposed two years ago and the three major reports that followed it (RSPCA, APGAW and the Bateson Report) - all of which stressed the need for an independent body.
I've been anxious about the make-up of the Council, not least because its Chair, Professor Sheila Crispin, is an honorary member of the Kennel Club and did not feel it necessary to resign her membership of the KC's own Dog Health Group following her appointment. I also felt when I interviewed Sheila for Dogs Today recently (entire interview online here) that she cut the KC too much slack and was far too focused on puppy farms - an important issue, of course, but not if it's going to let mainstream pedigree dog-breeding off the hook. But there are some very good names here, including:
• Dr Clare Rusbridge, who appeared in PDE speaking out strongly about syringomyelia in cavaliers. A passionate, dedicated vet who was brave enough to speak out when others in her profession zipped their lips, Clare is wonderful with the dogs and their owners in her care, and has stood her ground in the face of considerable opposition - and at times considerable unpleasantness - from breeders.
• Lisa Collins - the lead scientist of two important recent papers on inherited disorders in pedigree dogs. The first, exploring the link between illness and breed standards, found that each of the top 50 breeds was found to have at least one aspect of its conformation predisposing it to a disorder; and 84 disorders were either directly or indirectly associated with conformation. The second, exploring health issues not related to breed standards, found a total of 312 non-conformation linked inherited disorders in the top 50 breeds.
• Dr David Sargan - co-author of the RSPCA report "Pedigree Dog Breeding in the UK: A major welfare concern?" He is a senior lecturer at the University of Cambridge Veterinary School working in comparative genetics and genomics, with special interests in canine inherited disease genetics. He curates the database "Inherited Diseases in Dogs", a reference tool that catalogues inherited defects in dogs and their underlying genetics.
No response so far from the Kennel Club to the announcement of the Council members - but then the KC did its best to scotch the Council by claiming that its own revamped Dog Health Group was perfectly adequate.
Whether the new Council can really make a difference to dogs remains a big question. The Council is purely advisory, it is short of funding and the KC - and others - are skilled at coming up with excellent-sounding reasons why things can't be done. But it deserves a chance.
I hope they're going to investigate the way different groups of breeders feed-in to the genetic structure of the wider dog population. At the moment I don't think anyone really knows what's going on.
We have the show breeders who are driving selective changes via breed standards (and possibly causing accidental problems where a very popular sire is a carrier of something nasty).
Working dog breeders whose selection is probably mostly fairly good for dogs except that some of the ones sold as pets may have miserable lives because they're too intelligent/active to cope with being left alone and not trained.
Puppy farms who get their original stock who knows where, probably don't care about inbreeding, and presumably are multiplying up the genes of the original stock.
Back yard breeders who are just puppy farms writ small.
Pet owners who just want the occasional litter from a favourite bitch and may come unstuck if they don't know what health tests are important for their particular breed.
I don't think anybody knows what proportions of all of these sources go to make up the general pet population and how they relate to each other.
These sound like good people. Do you remember that scene in one of the Harry Potter movies where Dumbledor gives Neville Longbottom points for standing up to his friends? Dumbledor gave a speech about sometimes it takes more courage to stand up to your friends....
I think that's the type of courage that people need when standing up to dog breeders who have been following the wrong path.
Because to talk about problems in how we do things, means that a person has to have the courage to stand up to social pressure, even when it is our friends who are doing wrong.
Isn't that the type of courage that parents try to teach their children? Just because your friends start doing drugs, that does mean that you should follow them. We say: "If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you be stupid enough to jump too?"
Just because your friend are breeding unhealthy suffering dogs, doesn't mean that you have to do it that way too.
Considering you are so insistant on health issues and especially cruelty in Dog Breeding I am unable to understand your comment about Professor Crispin being to focused on puppy farmers. If you want to make a real impact on dog breeding I fail to understand why you are so reluctant to do anything about the thousands of puppy farmers who disgrace these shores. Perhaps it is because its easier to target the dog show people, instead of getting off your backside and going out and addressing the real problem. Hundreds of rescues would be more than happy to take you along and see the real issues, what are you scared of?
Mostly people deliberate misconstruing my posts.
I never said I didn't think puppy farming was an issue. It is. A huge one. But 'fixing' the pedigree dog issue at the top will, I hope, have a big impact on puppy farms, too. My concern has always been that the very people who should be doing the right thing - indeed claim they are - often aren't, either out of tradition or ignorance or, in a few cases, because their priorities are all wrong. Let's encourage, and if necessary insist, that they set such a fantastic example that it drives the puppy farmers out of business.

I totally agree Jemima - those that are supposed to love the breed - and the cross breeds of those breeds, should be ensuring perfect health and perfect temprament.
Then they - collectively - could join forces to kick the puppy farmers out of business.
Don't slate someone who is trying to do good - who has stood up to be counted. Jemima - I wish you all the strength in the world - there are so many people behind you and grateful that you have taken the lid off problems within the dog industry. For me - its mostly sheer overbreeding and ultimate needless destruction that breaks my heart but it needs people like yourself to make a difference.
I hope this council will make a difference to our friends - the dogs - who we are all supposed to love and treat with respect.
I am Really heartbroken with this whole thing .Breeders that are supposed to love there dogs and do the best for them are treating them in this way they can not call themselves dog lovers. How can they love the breed they have chosen when they are not doing the best to keep them healthy and the strain healthy they must have gone into Breeding with there eyes closed and there bank accounts wide open because for this reason and this reason only can i see the need to interbreed the way they do and sell unhealthy puppies and willingly know of the suffering that they cause to the dog at some stage in there short lives. All Breeders should be made to Re Register with inspections on all there dogs it is made far to easy for them to keep on doing what there doing for all the suffering that they have caused they deserve nothing less that prosecution and there dogs taken off them. They can't call themselves DOG LOVERS How can they !!!!!!!!

The Underrated Justin Long Comedy Everyone Should Be Watching On Netflix
NEWS EXCLUSIVES MOVIES TV REVIEWS FEATURES
By Dany Roth/April 8, 2021 12:50 pm EST
Justin Long has been a comedy mainstay since his first film appearance as sci-fi superfan in the now legendary comedy Galaxy Quest. And since then, Long has only continued to build his comedic legacy by starring in movies like Dodgeball and Idiocracy while also being featured in shows like Ed, New Girl, and The Connors. And while he's known for appearing in an installment of the Die Hard action franchise or horror the film that launched the Jeepers Creepers franchise, his gift for comedic timing is something that draws people in.
However, there is a possibility that you haven't seen Long's entry into the long tradition of collegiate comedies — Accepted. The 2006 film, which features Long as Bartleby Gaines, has a little bit of that Animal House and PCU vibe to it. Gaines is a sarcastic goof off-with a heart of gold who, despite his extracurricular cleverness, discovers that, with his high school career over, no colleges want him. So Gaines does what anyone would do if they were in a super-realistic world in which no rules apply: he starts his own fake college.
Accepted is on Netflix now and Justin Long is just one familiar face viewers will recognize.
Accepted features a cast of megastars before they were megastars
To begin, the pedigree in Accepted is absolutely off the charts, even before you get to the cast. The film's director Steve Pink got his start writing two John Cusack classics, Grosse Pointe Black and High Fidelity, before going on to direct the Hot Tub Time Machine movies. Then there is the cast. On the comedy end, Justin Long's Bartleby Gaines has a nervous best friend who just so happens to be played by a very young Jonah Hill. Accepted is the movie Hill did just before Knocked Up and Superbad and it's interesting to see where he was as an actor before those more famous roles.
And speaking of actors who hadn't hit superstardom yet, Bartleby has a love interest in the form of the out-of-his-league Monica Moreland — played by Blake Lively. Right after the first Sisterhood the Traveling Pants movies but before her career-making turn as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, Lively appeared in this sophomoric comedy — which is not surprising when you realize that her now-husband Ryan Reynolds once starred in Van Wilder.
The rest of the cast is also incredible and includes classic Daily Show correspondent Lewis Black as well as a surprising appearance from a blonde Robin Lord Taylor who you'll likely remember from his brilliant portrayal of Penguin on Fox's young Batman series Gotham. Accepted is a free pass. It's an hour and a half of confectionary escapism in which a random kid could create his own college, help a bunch of other high school failures, and have a lot of fun in the process.

A Yemeni economic expert from the region contends that French Total's operations in the Kharkhir region amount to stealing on behalf of Saudi Arabia and ousted president Mansour Hadi – who, as the internationally recognized leader of Yemen, likely believes his actions are within his range of powers.
As the Yemen civil war carries on, Yemen's oil reserves are becoming a specific point of tension between Yemen's ousted Sunni leaders and their Saudi backers, and the Shi'ite Houthis and their Iranian backers.
"Saudi Arabia has set up an oil base in collaboration with the French Total company in the Southern parts of Kharkhir region near the Saudi border province of Najran and is exploiting oil from the wells in the region," Mohammad Abdolrahman Sharafeddin told Fars News Agency of Iran on Tuesday. "Sixty-three percent of Yemen's crude production is being stolen by Saudi Arabia in cooperation with Mansour Hadi, the fugitive Yemeni president, and his mercenaries."
In 2014, Christophe de Margerie, the CEO of Total at the time, visited Sana'a to meet with President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi and discuss expanding the company's footprint in the host country.
"Margerie indicated that the relationship with Yemen is strategic and that TOTAL is expanding and developing its oil blocks in the country," according to Hadi's website.
In January, the Saudi-led coalition that backs Hadi's claim to the presidency clashed with a group of Houthi rebels in the Bab el-Mandab region – a vital passage for around 3.8 million barrels of Middle Eastern crude to overseas markets.
Control of the passage is important for both sides. The Sunni coalition cannot allow the Houthis to take it over because according to Emirati news outlet The National, they could use it to blackmail their enemies, paralyzing oil trade via the passage.


Time flies! It seems like we were just attending CT State session and the Dinosaur State Park with Connecticut Junior Grangers! And now we are starting to think about what we are going to accomplish in 2015! By the time you are reading this, I am pretty sure that most New Year's resolutions have been broken – but any goals we have set for ourselves are still going strong.  One of my goals this year is to get the word out about 1+ Junior Grange Program that the National Junior Grange Director is promoting. What does this mean to our subordinate Granges? How can we welcome Juniors into our Granges so that they are not intimidated by what they experience – but that they are inspired to be part of the Grange family!  I look forward to the coming year and working with the new State Officers on what it means to be a1+ Junior Member of the subordinate granges.
Thanks to all that participated – it was great to see all the entries on the tables at State Session – I hope more participate next year!

Asked in New Orleans Saints, Famous Quotations
Who started the saying Who Day the Bengals or the Saints?
The Bengals fans say Who Day(or Dey) while the Saints fans say Who Dat!, so I guess the Bengals fans said "who day" first. But as for who started the chant first, it's been said that Who Dat! came first and that it didn't start with the Saints but with another school team in Louisiana. But a lot agree that it started in the south and not anywhere else because of the orgin of speech. Both "Who Dey" and "Who Dat" are grammatically incorrect, but seeing as people in Louisiana actually use who dat in everyday speech and not just in a chant; Example: Who dat said dat?, or Who dat at da do', or Who dat supposed to be? as opposed to people in Ohio using who dey only in their chant, it can be said that it most likely started with the southern state Louisiana. It's just more natural.

Der Gauner von Bagdad (Originaltitel: Il ladro di Bagdad) ist ein italienisch-französischer Abenteuerfilm mit Fantasy-Elementen aus dem Jahr 1960, der in Italien von Arthur Lubin gedreht wurde. Die deutsche Erstaufführung war am 1. März 1962.

Handlung
Karim ist ein gutaussehender Dieb, der in Bagdad auf das Ausrauben der besseren Stände spezialisiert ist: Mit Hilfe von Verkleidung, Schlagfertigkeit und Akrobatik dringt er in eine Hochzeitsgesellschaft bei Hofe ein, wo er sich in die Prinzessin Amina verliebt. Deren Verlobter Osman versucht, mit einem Zaubertrank, Amina zu beeinflussen, woraufhin sie in einen tiefen Schlaf fällt. Karim holt Rat bei einem Zauberer, der ihn auf die Suche nach einer blauen Zauberblume schickt, die die Prinzessin wiedererwecken kann. Nach Kämpfen gegen Schlangenbäume, einen unsichtbaren Riesen, einer schönen Hexe und anderen Abenteuern reitet er auf einem fliegenden Pferd in den Tempel der blauen Blume ein. Ein letzter, großer Kampf gegen Osmans Truppen wird mit Hilfe von zahlreichen Doppelgängern siegreich gestaltet – Amina wird erweckt, und die Verliebten sind vereint.

Kritik

Bemerkungen
Obwohl der Film oftmals (so auch im Lexikon des Fantasy-Films) als Remake von Der Dieb von Bagdad bezeichnet wird, liegt der Geschichte das chinesische Märchen Die blaue Blume zugrunde, dessen Handlung in den Orient verlegt wurde.

Questions About Attorney Ethics After 'SoHo Karen' Lawyer Describes Client as Difficult
Michael A. Mora | January 12, 2021
"The most serious question is whether the lawyer is engaged in a deliberate trial publicity strategy to somehow prejudice a future criminal trial, which would be improper," said Anthony V. Alfieri, an ethics director at the University of Miami School of Law.

Q: Check a given is prime or not using clojure (defn prime [x]
    (if (#(<= % (Math/sqrt x)) (first (filter zero? (mod x (range 2 (inc x))))))
       false
       true))

Hi there! I want to check the given number is prime or not using clojure. Firstly, I want to filter all the divisors of x, then select the first number of these divisors. Finally, comparing to the square root of x, if the first divisor is smaller or equal to x, then the given number is not a prime. Otherwise, it is. However, when I run the code, I got such an error. How can I figure out the problem that convert a Lazyseq to a Number? I would appreciate if anyone can help me!

A: I think the problem is slightly different. We do not want to try values greater than the square root of the number we want to know is prime or not. Reason is explain in this SO. (Basically if x = a * b, then both a AND b cannot be greater than the square root)
So the sequence we are building, is up to the square root
(defn root-1 [x]
    (inc (long (Math/sqrt x))))

(defn range-1 [x]
  (range 2 (root-1 x)))

Finally, we are filtering on divisor:
(defn filter-1 [x]
  (filter #(zero? (rem x %))
        (range-1 x)))

And especially, we can stop at the first one, and filter being lazy, that comes up nicely with:
(defn is-prime [x]
  (nil? (first (filter-1 x))))

Which we can try with:
(is-prime 10) ; false
(is-prime 11) ; true

A: Fast check that number is prime:
(ns example.core
  (:gen-class)
  (:require [clojure.core.reducers :as r]))

(defn prime-number?
  [n]
  (let [square-root (Math/sqrt n)
        mod-zero? (fn [res new-val]
                    (if (zero? (mod n new-val))
                      (reduced false)
                      true))]
    (r/reduce mod-zero? true (range 2 (inc square-root)))))

(prime-number? 2147483647)
;=> true

A: Two comments:

*

*range returns a seq, which you are trying to apply (mod x ...) to. I think you are missing a map..

*There is no real point in returning true and false from an if, if you think about it ;) (hint, try to see how the function not behaves)

You should make another attempt and update us on what you came up with!

A: Paraphrasing your recipe:

*

*Filter all the divisors of x.

*Select the first of these.

*If it is smaller then or equal to the square root of x, then x
is not a prime.

The given code has the problems:

*

*The surrounding if form is redundant.

*The filter function is wrong. It ought to incorporate the zero? and
the mod x.

*There is no need to construct and apply an anonymous function. Just
apply the test directly.

And, though the repaired algorithm would work, it is still clumsy.

*

*The first divisor of a prime x is x itself. There is no need to
muck about with square roots.

*The range ought to be from 2 to the square root of x. Then a nil
value for the first divisor indicates a prime.

Israel/OPT: Gaza power crisis has compounded blockade's assault on human dignity
إسرائيل/ الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة: أزمة الطاقة في غزة تفاقم من اعتداء الحصار على الكرامة الإنسانية
Israel must immediately lift its blockade on the Gaza Strip, including by allowing the delivery of fuel and other essential supplies into the territory without restrictions, said Amnesty International today.
For the last month, all of Gaza's 1.7 million residents have been living without power for most of the time and in the shadow of a public health catastrophe, after their sole power plant was forced to shut down, causing the failure of several sewerage and water plants.
"This latest harsh setback has exacerbated the assault on the dignity of Palestinians in Gaza and the massive denial of rights they have experienced for more than six years because of Israel's blockade, together with restrictions imposed by Egypt," said Philip Luther, Middle East and North Africa Director at Amnesty International.
"The blockade has collectively punished Gaza's population in violation of international law. The power plant shutdown has further affected all aspects of daily life, and the Israeli authorities must lift the blockade immediately, starting by allowing urgently needed fuel supplies into the Strip and working with all relevant parties to avert a prolonged humanitarian crisis this winter."
The power plant, which until recently supplied 30 per cent of the Gaza Strip's electricity, ran out of diesel fuel on 1 November. The resulting shutdown has exacerbated an ongoing water and sanitation crisis and has left Gaza residents without power for 16 hours a day.
28 June 2006 – Israeli aircraft fired eight missiles into the Gaza power plant, destroying all six of its transformers and putting it out of operations. Israeli restrictions on imports of construction materials, equipment and spare parts obstructed repairs to the plant, and it has yet to regain the generation capacity it had prior to the attack.
October 2007 – Following a cabinet decision, Israel reduced the amount of industrial diesel fuel sold to the Gaza Strip by around 20 per cent, and also cut sales of petrol and regular diesel. The Gaza power plant depended on industrial diesel imported from Israel and was forced to cut back operations.
January 2008 – Israel's High Court of Justice denied a petition by human rights organizations against the restrictions on fuel supply to the Gaza Strip, after the government commited to allowing industrial diesel imports of 2.2 million litres per week, only about two-thirds of the amount needed for the power plant to operate at its full capacity.
November 2008 – Israel suspended imports of industrial diesel fuel, along with regular diesel, petrol and cooking gas, into Gaza; only a fraction of the needed amounts were supplied in November and December 2008.
27 December 2008 to 18 January 2009 – Israel's air strikes and ground offensive during Operation "Cast Lead" severely damaged civilian infrastructure across the Strip, including electrical, water and sewage facilities. Afterwards, repairs of crucial infrastructure were again hampered by Israeli restrictions on imports.
Since January 2011, no industrial diesel fuel has been imported to Gaza from Israel, due in part to disputes between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority over payment and taxes; the power plant has instead relied on regular diesel fuel brought into Gaza via the tunnels from Egypt.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, all 291 water and wastewater facilities in the Gaza Strip are now relying on standby generators, which are also affected by the fuel shortages. On 13 November a large sewage pumping station failed in al-Zaytoun, south of Gaza City, allowing more than 35,000 cubic metres of raw sewage to spew into the streets.
Local authorities have struggled to clean up the spill, leaving some 3,000 residents wading through sewage. The clean-up finally began on 29 November, according to local residents, following efforts by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and other agencies, and an emergency donation from Turkey to pay for fuel for critical sewage stations.
"The reason for the flood of sewage was the blockade," a resident of al-Zaytoun told Amnesty International. "The question is, why is the blockade being allowed to continue? What is our crime? There is no justification for this situation. We just want to live like any other people in the world."
Ten other sewage pumping stations in the Gaza Strip have been forced to divert sewage to open channels, lagoons, or the sea during the last month, and other stations are close to overflowing.
Before the current crisis, some 90 million litres of raw or partially treated sewage were being dumped into the sea off Gaza every day. Since the power plant shutdown, more raw sewage is being dumped into the sea. For years, more than 90 per cent of the water extracted from the Gaza aquifer has been polluted and unfit for human consumption due to the infiltration of sewage and seawater and prolonged over-extraction because of Israel's disproportionate use of water resources.
Water supply to households across the Strip, which was already rationed, has also been reduced since the power plant shutdown. Some 65 per cent of Gaza's population only receive water once every three or four days.
"For each day that the Gaza power plant does not receive fuel, the risk of a massive public health crisis increases. Access to adequate sanitation and drinking water are fundamental human rights. The power plant shutdown should never have been allowed to happen," said Philip Luther.
Hospitals and other health facilities throughout the Gaza Strip have been relying on their own generators during the lengthy power outages. But the generators are also affected by fuel shortages, jeopardizing essential services like kidney dialysis, operating theatres, blood banks, intensive care units, neo-natal care, and laboratories, putting patients' lives at risk.
Businesses, construction, and much agricultural work have also ground to a halt amid the power cuts and shortages of fuel and building materials. This has further reduced the incomes of many households who already had trouble meeting their basic needs.
Bakeries have reduced production and people are forced to queue to buy bread. Transportation throughout the Strip has been curtailed; carts pulled by donkeys are now being used to collect solid waste. The Strip's schools and universities have also been affected.
Since June 2007, when the Israeli blockade was tightened, Gaza's energy, water, and sanitation infrastructure has been inadequate to fulfil the basic rights of its inhabitants. They were already poor due to prior Israeli restrictions and decades of neglect.
Before the power plant shut down, Gaza already suffered from a chronic electricity shortage and routine power outages. Since 1 November, the electricity currently supplied to the Strip – which is purchased from Israel and Egypt – covers less than 40 per cent of the population's needs.
A main factor triggering the shutdown was the Egyptian military's campaign to destroy tunnels between Gaza and Sinai – more than 90 per cent have been removed since June 2013. Since early 2011, the power plant was run on Egyptian diesel brought in through some of those tunnels – the amount dropped from about 1 million litres per day in June 2013 to around 20,000 litres per week in November.
Amnesty International is calling on the Egyptian authorities to facilitate construction of new power lines to increase the electricity supply to the southern Gaza Strip and work with Palestinian and Israeli authorities to find a sustainable solution to the fuel crisis.
On 28 June 2006, Israeli aircraft fired eight missiles into the Gaza power plant, destroying all its transformers. Israeli restrictions on imports of construction materials, spare parts, and fuel impeded reconstruction. These restrictions were tightened after Israel imposed a complete air, land and sea blockade on Gaza in June 2007, when Hamas established a de facto administration in the Strip.
As the occupying power, Israel has the primary responsibility for addressing the current crisis by immediately increasing fuel supplies to Gaza. It must also address the long-term crisis by completely lifting the blockade, including by allowing fuel into Gaza without restrictions, allowing construction materials and equipment necessary for repairing and maintaining vital infrastructure, and increasing electricity supplies to Gaza by facilitating the construction of new power lines.
Continuing disputes between the Hamas de facto administration in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority over payment and taxes are also a factor in the current crisis. Both authorities must co-operate so that the power plant again receives a steady supply of fuel and can resume operations.
According to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, only about a quarter of the water and sanitation projects in Gaza included in the 2013 Consolidated Appeals Process have been funded.


of pigmentation and cells in the substantia nigra and other brainstem centers, cell loss in the globus pallidus and putamen, and filamentous eosinophilic intraneural inclusion granules (Lewy bodies) containing α-synuclein in the basal ganglia, brainstem, spinal cord, and sympa thetic ganglia.
The most common variety of parkinsonism occurs without obvios cause; this idiopathic form is called Parkinson disease or paralysis agitans when there are no atypical features, it is not secondary to some known cause, and there is a sustained response to treatment with dopaminergic medication.
Resting tremor (in a limb at rest) A tremor at rest is perhaps the most obvious feature of Parkinson disease and is a common presenting symptom. The tremor at rest readily disappears when sustaining a posture or during manual activities, in contrast to an essential tremor, which is an action tremor.
movement) is characteristic of parkinsonism.
Dx: Diagnostic criteria for PD require two of the four features. In idiopathic PD, the symptoms present asymmetrically and although the contralateral side is eventually affected, the asymmetry usually persists throughout the disease course.
Tx: Anticholinergic Drugs (trihexyphenidyl, benztropine) are more helpful in alleviating tremor and rigidity than hypokinesia but are generally less effective than dopaminergic drugs. Anticholinergic drugs are best avoided in the elderly because of their side effects, which include dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, defective pupillary accommodation, and confusion.
Levodopa ameliorates all the major clinical features of parkinsonism and, unlike the anticholinergic drugs, is often particularly helpful against hypokinesia. Carbidopa is a drug that reduces the extracerebral (peripheral) metabolism of levodopa to dopamine (causes nausea, vomiting, and hypotension) by inhibiting dopa decarboxylase but it does not cross the blood–brain barrier. Carbidopa is generally combined with levodopa in a fixed proportion (1:10 or 1:4) as carbidopa/levodopa.
Another late complication of levodopa therapy or consequence of advancing disease is response fluctuation such as the wearing-off effect, in which deterioration occurs shortly before the next dose is to be taken, or the on–off phenomenon, in which abrupt but transient fluctuations in the severity of parkinsonism occur at frequent intervals during the day, apparently without any relationship to the last dose of levodopa.
Dopamine Agonists: Ergot derivatives such as bromocriptine, which stimulates dopamine D2 receptors. It is perhaps slightly less effective than levodopa in relieving the symptoms of parkinsonism but is less likely to cause dyskinesias.
Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Inhibitors may be used to reduce the dose requirements of and any response fluctuations to levodopa. Their use leads to more sustained plasma levels of levodopa, with improved transport into the blood and across the blood–brain barrier. Tolcapone, entacapone.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors Selegiline, an irreversible monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitor, inhibits the metabolic breakdown of dopamine.
The most likely diagnosis in a younger (<50 years of age) patient with a symmetric action/postural movement disorder. Approximately one-half of all cases of ET appear to occur because of an autosomal dominant genetic mutation.
Hx: The tremor typically involves one or both hands, the head, the voice, or some combination of these, but the legs tend to be spared.
Dx: Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning shows that certain parts of the brain—including the thalamus—have increased activity.
Tx: Lifestyle changes, such as getting enough sleep and reduction of caffeine, can be helpful. Essential tremor characteristically improves with alcohol intake, and patients with essential tremor are at increased risk of alcohol misuse because of this.
Rx: If lifestyle modifications do not adequately control essential tremor symptoms, medications, including β-blockers (such as propranolol) 40 to 160 mg orally twice daily and anticonvulsants (such as primidone), are usually effective.
This group of disorders is characterized by parkinsonism plus clinical evidence of more widespread disease from degeneration in other neuronal systems. Depending on the disorder, they are either synucleinopathies or tauopathies.
Hx: When autonomic insufficiency is a conspicuous accompaniment, the ponymous designation of Shy-Drager syndrome is sometimes used. This latter syndrome is characterized by parkinsonian features, autonomic insufficiency (leading to postural hypotension, anhidrosis, disturbance of sphincter control, impotence, and signs of more widespread neurologic involvement (pyramidal or lower motor neuron signs and often a cerebellar deficit). The autonomic and multisystem—often symmetric— motor findings with marked anterocollis distinguish the disorder from classic Parkinson disease.
Dx: MRI reveals a hypointense putamen with a hyperintense rim.
The disease follows a progressive course leading to death over about 8 to 10 years.
Characterized by parkinsonism that is responsive to dopaminergic therapy, visual hallucinations, and/or fluctuating cognition. The characteristic cognitive profile of dementia in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies includes impaired learning and attention, psychomotor slowing, constructional apraxia, and more profound visuospatial impairment but less memory impairment than in similarly staged patients with Alzheimer disease.
Dx: Intraneuronal Lewy body inclusions in the cerebral cortex.
Tx: Management of Lewy body disease is difficult because levodopa induces hallucinations and exacerbates the cognitive and behavioral disturbances while providing only limited benefit to the motor disturbance. Anticholinergic drugs are best avoided because they also may exacerbate cognitive dysfunction. The dementia and behavioral abnormalities often respond favorably to cholinesterase inhibitors.
Progressive supranuclear palsy is an idiopathic, usually sporadic, degenerative disorder, a tauopathy that primarily affects subcortical gray matter regions of the brain. There is much overlap clinically and pathologically with corticobasal degeneration. The principal neuropathologic finding is neuronal degeneration with the presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the midbrain, pons, basal ganglia, and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum.
with or without extrapyramidal rigidity of the limbs, and dementia.
Supranuclear ophthalmoplegia is characterized by prominent failure of voluntary vertical gaze, with later paralysis of horizontal gaze; oculocephalic and oculovestibular reflexes are preserved. Vertical saccades may initially be slowed.
Parkinson disease differs from the classic form of progressive supranuclear palsy in that voluntary downward and horizontal gaze are not usually lost, axial posture tends to be characterized by flexion rather than extension, tremor is common, the course is less fulminant, and antiparkinsonian medications are more often effective.
It sometimes simulates Parkinson disease when bradykinesia and rigidity are conspicuous features. Postural-action tremor may also occur, but the usual cause of profound disability is limb apraxia (often leads to a useless limb) and clumsiness rather than extrapyramidal deficits. Other clinical features include speech disturbances (aphasic, apraxic, or dysarthric), acalculia, cortical sensory deficits (eg, neglect syndromes), stimulus-sensitive myoclonus, alien limb phenomenon (the tendency for a limb to move semipurposefully, involuntarily, and without the knowledge of its owner), dysphagia, postural disturbances, dystonic features, and ultimately cognitive decline and behavioral changes.
The disorder follows a progressive course, leading to increasing disability and dependence. Death typically follows within 10 years, often sooner, from aspiration pneumonia.
Huntington disease is a hereditary, progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system characterized by the gradual onset and subsequent progression of chorea and dementia.
Characterized by increasingly severe motor impairment, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms. In addition to chorea, other motor symptoms include ataxia, dystonia, slurred speech, impaired swallowing, and myoclonus. Various psychiatric symptoms, such as dysphoria, agitation, irritability, anxiety, apathy, disinhibition, delusions, and hallucinations, commonly occur.
Deficits in sustained attention, memory retrieval, procedural memory (ability to acquire new skills), and visuospatial skills are predominant and early manifestations of the disorder. Language skills are usually preserved until the late stages of the disease. Personality changes and mood disturbances, including depression and mania, are frequent and can predate the onset of the dementia and the movement disorder.
Tx: Dopamine blocking and depleting agents are effective in decreasing the involuntary movements of HD. Haloperidol is a dopamine receptor blocker and is commonly used for control of chorea in HD. Other neuroleptics, such as olanzapine, risperidone, and aripiprazole, are also effective in treating the chorea symptoms of HD.
Sydenham chorea occurs principally in children and adolescents as a complication of a previous group A hemolytic streptococcal infection.
Sydenham chorea is characterized by abnormal choreiform movements that are sometimes unilateral and, when mild, may be mistaken for restlessness or fidgetiness.
Tx: The traditional treatment is bed rest, sedation, and prophylactic antibiotic therapy even if there are no other signs of acute rheumatism. A course of intramuscular penicillin is generally recommended, and continuous prophylactic oral penicillin daily or intramuscular benzathine penicillin G monthly until approximately age 20 years is also frequently advised to prevent streptococcal infections.
or tic disorders of variable severity with streptococcal infections in children.
This prion disease may be accompanied by parkinsonian features, but dementia is usually present, myoclonic jerks are common, and ataxia is sometimes prominent; there may be pyramidal or cerebellar signs and visual disturbances, and the EEG findings of periodic discharges are usually characteristic.
This condition leads to a gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and dementia. CT scanning reveals dilation of the ventricular system of the brain without cortical atrophy. The disorder may follow head injury, intracranial hemorrhage, or meningoencephalitis, but the cause is often obscure. Surgical shunting procedures to bypass any obstruction to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are often beneficial.
Parkinsonism frequently complicates treatment with dopamine- agents such as reserpine or dopaminereceptor antagonists such as phenothiazines or butyrophenones.
Acute dystonia or dyskinesia (such as blepharospasm, torticollis, or facial grimacing) is an occasional complication of dopamine receptor antagonist treatment, generally occurring within 1 week after introduction of such medication and often within 48 hours.
Akathisia is a state of motor restlessness characterized by an inability to sit or stand still, which is relieved by moving about.
Tardive dyskinesia may develop after long-term treatment with antipsychotic dopamine receptor antagonist drugs or with metoclopramide.
Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration produces a neurologic disorder associated with extrapyramidal, cerebellar, and pyramidal signs as well as dementia. Extrapyramidal signs include rigidity, rest tremor, chorea, athetosis, and dystonia.
Boxers and those in certain other contact sports, such as football, may develop a syndrome of dementia (dementia pugilistica), behavioral and psychiatric disturbances, parkinsonism, and pyramidal and cerebellar deficits from recurrent head trauma leading to a chronic traumatic encephalopathy. There is no satisfactory treatment.
Wilson's disease is a rare, autosomal recessive disease of younger individuals that is characterized by abnormal copper deposition in tissues such as the liver, basal ganglia, and cornea. Children and adolescents tend to present with liver disease (ranging from asymptomatic aminotransferase elevations to fulminant hepatic failure), while young adults tend to demonstrate neuropsychiatric disease (ranging widely from tremor and rigidity to depression, paranoia, and catatonia).
Dx: Classically, the diagnosis of Wilson's disease is confirmed by the presence of low serum ceruloplasmin (particularly <20 mg/dL) in conjunction with increased urinary copper excretion or Kayser-Fleischer rings. Therefore, evaluation should include measurement of serum ceruloplasmin levels and slit lamp examination of the eyes.


As Kasi Lemmons's Talk To Me, based on a true story, picks up momentum, you can't help wondering why you've never heard of the film's central character.
Helped by a typically magnetic central turn by Don Cheadle, the disc jockey Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene is charismatic and hilarious, defiantly wielding the truth as a weapon as he connects with the African-American population of 1960s Washington DC.
When we first meet Greene he's spinning records for fellow inmates in a Washington prison. His path crosses that of radio programmer, Dewey Hughes (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and once out of the joint Greene hustles his way to a spot on the airwaves, quickly gaining popularity and notoriety as its "voice of the street".
Cue a brilliant excuse for a vibrant re-creation of the period: all loud, pimp-style threads and afros the size of bushes, to a soundtrack of prime funk and jive-talkin' fun.
It feels like a black version of Private Parts, the breezy 1997 biopic of American shock jock Howard Stern, until news of Martin Luther King's assassination reaches Greene's station and things start to get serious - and a little less predictable - for the characters as well as the country.
Talk To Me is as much a story about black America finding its voice as it is about Greene gaining a certain amount of fame offering his own, funny, insightful one. The characters may be familiarly drawn - Ejiofor's corporate, self-righteous Hughes is memorably dissed by Greene as "a white boy with a tan" and Vernell (Taraji P. Henson) is the DJ's feisty free spirit of a girlfriend - yet, to the credit of the director and the writers, they all ring true.
Indeed, Lemmons shows a sure hand in all aspects of her film: as well as getting universally strong performances (even from Cedric The So-called Entertainer in a supporting role), she also, where necessary, smartly incorporates archival footage into her convincingly authentic re-creations of scenes including a James Brown concert and American television institution The Tonight Show.
It's during the pivotal latter scene we discover why we haven't heard of Greene, but that's merely one chapter in his fascinating story. Thanks to Cheadle - who's exceptional, as he seems to be in all his films without the word "Ocean's" in the title - the alcoholic, adulterous, chain-smoking ex-con Greene is also inspirational and even likeable. He comes off better than Hughes, which is particularly impressive when you consider the story of his brilliant career is told parallel to Greene's and that one of the writers, Michael Genet, is Hughes's son.
It's fortuitous that a film immersed in themes of racial tension is released so soon after the Rudd Government's apology to the stolen generations, but don't hold that coincidence against Talk To Me. It's a visually and aurally riveting trip to an important time from a perspective few here will know, about a person worth meeting.

Mobilization: F-Troop and A-Team
Sean Trende suggests a hypothesis (subject to inspection of exit polls and the complete vote count):
But most importantly, the 2012 elections actually weren't about a demographic explosion with non-white voters. Instead, they were about a large group of white voters not showing up.
As of this writing, Barack Obama has received a bit more than 60 million votes. Mitt Romney has received 57 million votes. Although the gap between Republicans and Democrats has closed considerably since 2008, Romney is still running about 2.5 million votes behind John McCain; the gap has closed simply because Obama is running about 9 million votes behind his 2008 totals.
Put another way: The increased share of the minority vote as a percent of the total vote is not the result of a large increase in minorities in the numerator, it is a function of many fewer whites in the denominator....
My sense is these voters were unhappy with Obama. But his negative ad campaign relentlessly emphasizing Romney's wealth and tenure at Bain Capital may have turned them off to the Republican nominee as well. The Romney campaign exacerbated this through the challenger's failure to articulate a clear, positive agenda to address these voters' fears, and self-inflicted wounds like the "47 percent" gaffe. Given a choice between two unpalatable options, these voters simply stayed home.
Another possibility is that the Romney campaign could have mobilized some of these voters but flat-out failed. At Breitbart.com, Joel Pollak writes:
As Republicans try to explain their Election Day losses in terms of policy, tactics, and strategy, one factor is emerging as the essential difference between the Obama and Romney campaigns on November 6: the absolute failure of Romney's get-out-the-vote effort, which underperformed even John McCain's lackluster 2008 turnout. One culprit appears to be "Orca," the Romney's massive technology effort, which failed completely.
"They [in the Romney camp] had to spend most of their campaign fighting the primary, so the amount of time they had to specifically target and match their message to individual voters and to learn from it was limited," said Andrew Rasiej, the founder of the Personal Democracy Forum, an organization that tracks the intersection of technology and politics.
The Obama campaign "had a major advantage because when you're building big data resources, the longer you're collecting data, the longer you're analyzing data…the smarter the data becomes over time," he said.
The potent combination of data from social media and its email list enabled the Obama campaign to build a profile of potential voters and frame a compelling get-out-the-vote message, both online and off the grid.
"They train their volunteers to have a message at the door that's targeted toward that person at that very moment," said Rasiej.
Zac Moffatt, the Romney campaign's digital director, said his 120-person team had to employ a different online strategy than the Obama campaign because it was coming off of the Republican primaries.
"They had more resources and they didn't have a primary," Moffatt said. "There was a substantial outspending of dollars online."
At The Monkey Cage, Ryan Enos and Eitan Hersh write of their hands-on study of Obama mobilization efforts (Ground Campaign Project website here):
Our maps will generally conform to other measures of Obama's state-by-state strategy, such as measures of money, TV ad buys, campaign offices, and candidate visits. However, the measure here is unique in the sense that it is based on internal campaign data. This unique data source may prove to be especially revealing because the Obama campaign has relied so heavily on targeted voter mobilization efforts. These data will allow us to directly observe the mobilization, whereas data on television advertisements, for example, would not.
One lesson we draw from the map is that the campaign took more of an offensive strategy than a defensive one. Even through the end of the campaign season, the campaign was very active in Florida and North Carolina, and never engaged many field staff in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Watch First Full Trailer For 'A Quiet Place II'
Published On January 2, 2020 » 66 Views» By Z-rowe »
John Krasinski's 'A Quiet Place' surprised a lot of people back in 2018. The horror/thriller was made on budget of around $20 million and ended up making over $340 million at the box office.
And with success like that, you knew there was going to be a sequel. The entire team is back for 'A Quiet Place II' including Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds.
The trailer for A Quiet Place II kicks off with a flashback to early days: everything is going off the rails as the mysterious beasts, drawn by sound, wreck havoc on a city street. We then return to the events following the last movie, as the family — sans father Lee (director-star John Krasinski) — heads out into the world at large, new baby in tow.
They then fall in with a survivalist played by Cillian Murphy who seems less than convinced that the world is worth saving.
This sequel is expected to hit theaters on March 20, 2020. (Yes, I originally wrote 2019…f**k the new year!)
