LOS ANGELES — According to Guinness World Records, the oldest living dog in the world is on all four paws in Los Angeles.
Gino Wolf, a 22-year-old Chihuahua (in human years), was verified to be the "oldest dog living" on earth, Guinness World Records published.
Gino was adopted by his now father, Alex Wolf, in Boulder, Colorado, in 2002.
"I've taken great care of him over the years, and he is still in relatively very good shape...and really cute still, which is surprising considering his age," Alex Wolf told Guinness World Records.
Pebbles, a toy fox terrier, previously held the world record for the oldest living dog before he passed away on October 3, 2022.
"Pebbles peacefully passed away from natural causes at her home in Taylors, South Carolina, USA with her owners Bobby and Julie Gregory by her side," Guinness World Records reported.
If you think you have the world's oldest living dog, you can apply for the prestigious rank here.

Discord Distances Itself from Gaming
Discord is now your place to talk.
Discord was built upon the idea of bringing gamers of all types together. It's certainly a big factor that prompted my friends and I to make the move to Discord from TeamSpeak and Ventrilo however long ago it's been now. We were a group of friends that played a lot of games together. We didn't like the quality of the service we were paying monthly for from the alternatives and decided to give Discord a try. We never looked back.

Subnautica: Below Zero Now Available on Early Access
Subnautica: Below Zero has been released into Early Access today on the Epic Games Store (non-affiliate link here), through Discord, and on Steam. The game is set one year after the events in the original Subnautica. This time, the (mostly) underwater exploration takes place near an alien research station on Planet 4546B.
This game is very much the definition of "Early Access" in that the release lacks content and is very buggy. Those who went through the long stretch...
Discord Store Moves to Give Developers 90% of Sales Revenue
In the new war on crappy revenue splits, Discord announced today that they are going to allow all developers to self-publish their games. Not only that, but they're going to give developers a 90% revenue share for games sold through the Discord Store. That leaves just the remaining 10% for Discord to cover operating costs. But wait, it gets even better. Discord says that they may even end up lowering that 10% to a smaller amount by finding ways to optimize their technology and making t...

Q: WPF - Binding nested custom objects to datagrid I have a pretty large object and some of it's properties should be shown in a datagrid. The problem is that the binding is not doing well and the nested object values are empty.
The MainCustomObject is:
public class MainCustomObject
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public CustomObject1 CustomObject1 { get; set; }
}

The CustomObject1 is:
public class CustomObject1
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Url { get; set; }
}

And my XAML code is:
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding MainCustomObjectList}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Width="75" Binding="{Binding Name}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="CustomObject1_Name" Width="75" Binding="{Binding CustomObject1.Name}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="CustomObject1_Url" Width="75" Binding="{Binding CustomObject1.Url}" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

Thanks for the help guys.

A: I tested you code and it works in that way, that a row is created and displayed. Your Namespace or class name might be different.
MainWindow
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public IEnumerable<MainCustomObject> MainCustomObjectList { get; set; } = new List<MainCustomObject>
    {
        new MainCustomObject
        {
            Id = 1,
            Name = "Name1",
            CustomObject1 = new CustomObject1
            {
                Name = "Custom name 1",
                Url = "Url 1"
            }
        }
    };
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfApp2.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp2"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
<StackPanel>
    <DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding MainCustomObjectList}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
        <DataGrid.Columns>
            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" />
            <DataGridTextColumn Header="CustomObject1_Name" Binding="{Binding CustomObject1.Name}" />
            <DataGridTextColumn Header="CustomObject1_Url" Binding="{Binding CustomObject1.Url}" />
        </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>
</StackPanel>
</Window>

Note that I bound the DataContext to my own instance. Otherwise it would show the same error you are reporting, an empty list. You also want to make sure, that the list is completely initialized, as mm8 suspects. If only the first column is filled, that is a hint, that the property CustomObject1 is null.

A: You can only bind the ItemsSource property to an IEnumerable (including any type that implements the IEnumerable interface). So your XAML markup should work provided that MainCustomObjectList returns an IEnumerable<MainCustomObject> and that the CustomObject1 type has public Name and Url properties that are actually populated with some values.
Also make sure that DataContext of the DataGrid is an instance of the class where the MainCustomObjectList property is defined.

How to Actually Take Care of a Brother with Autism-Challenging but Fun!
December 15, 2020 December 13, 2020 by Marita
Inside: Learn how a big sister enjoys having her autistic brother around and cares for him with so much love.
They did not start as good friends when they were younger, but eventually developed a strong bond when they moved to a new place.
Here goes their story.
Bonding with Andreu
By Ysabel Castillo
I was singing a song from a band that I really love and I went like, "I'm so sick of this…," then Andreu followed with, "Fake love!" and that's actually the lyrics of the song. I was surprised that he even knew it.
My name is Ysabel and I'm the second-older sister of Andreu, my 7-year-old brother with Autism. I'm 12 and in Grade 7. We have an older sister, named Phoebe.
Back in Singapore, where we used to live, my brother and I did not interact well. All I did was annoy him and we didn't really have that many fun moments. Andreu was kind of scared of me because I would get pissed off at him whenever he disturbed me.
Our nanny Nals, who was with him most of the time, took care of him, and they really bonded well.
Moving to a new place was a challenge
When we moved to Canada, our maid did not come with us, it was just me and my family. It was difficult for all of us to start a new life, in a completely different place, but we became closer.
My sister was in charge of the chores, while I was assigned to take care of my brother, who was six at that time.
I had to bathe him, wash his butt whenever he pooped, changed his clothes for school, and oh, I so missed our maid while doing these.
At first, I never thought of caring for my brother as a big deal, since Nals would do it all with ease, she would take care of Andreu, clean the whole house, and even do the family's laundry without complaining. I really appreciated our maid, for all that she did for us.
Yes, the tasks were exhausting, but they made me more responsible.
Gradually, Andreu and I bonded well as siblings. We started to play with each other, including the two other girls whom we lived with initially. We would play tag inside or outside the house or just watch YouTube videos together.
My brother is different, but we do connect
When he was four, I realized that Andreu is not like any other boy his age.
He still couldn't speak, did not make friends easily, and spoke gibberish. He couldn't control himself, acted the way he wanted, and didn't care if he cried really loud in a public place.
His way of learning is not typical and you need to be patient with him.
He's just an innocent child who can't tell right from wrong. There's no use in being mad with him, he just doesn't get it.
I started to understand my brother better and we became even closer to each other.
He makes me smile even in the littlest ways, whenever he makes mistakes or just talks or sings. Andreu would make up random actions that I would imitate and this made him so happy.
We understand and enjoy each other. I would sing, he would listen and do actions. Whenever I dance to a song that he knows, he would just watch me with the moves that I make.
I always ask for hugs or kisses on the cheek from Andreu because he is such a great hugger! He's so cute too!
One time when I was arguing with my Mom, I heard Andreu say, "Nooooo" while looking at my mom, because he wanted her to stop the squabble. It made me smile on the inside.

I get mad whenever someone judges my brother for the way he is. People just can't understand sometimes. If only they could just see that they could actually communicate with him because he could make them smile and feel good.
Usually, people get scared whenever they approach somebody with special needs. I get that but they're just like us, only with a different mindset because their brain works in a peculiar way.
Some people even make fun of them, and they're literally innocent. Oh, well.
What Andreu is like
For me and my family, Andreu is just a big baby, he's so lovable and makes me cheerful all the time, even when he's not trying to be humorous.
He loves Trains and Cereal, like literally, that's all he watches. Whenever I let him use my phone and get it back, my search history is full of Cereal and Trains.
It makes me feel proud whenever he joins the family for dinner because I believe he's slowly adapting to his environment. But he spends a quarter of his day asking for chicken and rice, and it's getting out of hand now.
Andreu likes certain types of food, he won't just eat the food that you give him. If he's not familiar with it, he won't consume it at all.
He gets mesmerized by lights, such that when the Christmas lights were turned on for the first time, he got so amazed and the same goes for my LED lights.
From what I see, Andreu likes puzzles and he attaches the pieces together, but the thing is, they never match the actual picture. I mean I don't blame him, I'm bad at puzzles too.
My brother likes anything that has a liquid and solid substance, like slime or goo for example. He could play with it for hours and forgets to watch TV, but he gets the slime all over the carpet so that's why now, we don't store slime. Even if I did have slime, I would definitely hide it from him.
If I have to describe Andreu's personality, I would say he's a boy who is funny, resilient yet lazy, fun, and smart.
He has a really good memory, he can recall almost all the train stations in Singapore that I myself can't.
Andreu and I don't really engage in full conversations, but we do have "interactions." Actually, he's really fun to talk to. Whenever I say, "Cereal" or "MRT" which stands for Mass Rapid Transport or other words that he's familiar with, I can get his attention right away.
Same thing with my whole family and friends who really know him and try to communicate with him. We all agree, my brother can connect with everyone.
What we enjoy doing together
I used to read stories with him, but he would get all fed up and rush through the book so that he could watch TV.
Most of the time, Andreu is in the basement watching the tube, while standing on the carpet. Meanwhile, I lie down using my Chromebook or my phone, it's way easier to take care of him that way.
Every summer, I would go to the playground with him, but he would just go barefoot on the small rocks and lay down there for 30 minutes, or be on the slide doing nothing.
Most of the time, I like to play tag with him because he giggles a lot, but he's so fast. I can't even catch him even though I have way longer legs than him, it's so disappointing. But I really like it when he gets playful and it's so fun to run after him, I even turn off my phone just to engage with him because it's so amusing.
To be honest, I really like to bug him off because it actually makes me laugh when I see him trying to make me mad, especially at night.
There was one time though when he pulled my hair while he was sleeping and it really hurt. I wanted to scream but it was 2 AM. Andreu is surprisingly strong, he could probably carry things I couldn't grab.
I would do tricks on my tongue and my brother would get mesmerized and start touching my tongue because he finds it amazing, but that's kinda gross.
He has two moles on his arm and I would pinch in the middle so that it would look like an elephant and Andreu would always chuckle with that.
I love making him smile and laugh, but I really like to bug him off, I don't know why but it's entertaining seeing him get all riled up!
At bedtime, we watch slime videos, it calms him down or keeps him entertained. He really likes slime, I do too because it's satisfying and nice to play with when you're stressed or bored.
One time, I watched something scary online and I wasn't able to sleep properly for some time, and when Andreu started sharing my bed, I slept for 10 hours! He would hug me in the middle of the night and I found that so cute!
Related post: Big Sister, Little Brother ( He has Down Syndrome and Autism )
How my brother brings joy to our family
Even though Andreu can't make jokes, what he does and says are naturally funny, thus, he brings lots of laughter to our home.
I'm really thankful God gave him to us. If he wasn't here, I think we wouldn't have that many hilarious moments, and our house would be so quiet.
I think we wouldn't even be in Canada if it wasn't for my bother, to be honest.
My real feelings for Andreu
Our bonding journey has been challenging and still is. There are ups and downs, laughter, and madness, but it is overall a great experience and I will never trade my moments with him for anything.
One thing that I don't like about Andreu is that he frequently asks for toy trucks or whatsoever toys, then once we buy it, he plays with it for like 5 days then he ignores it altogether. It's such a waste of money!
Once he asks for a toy, he gets it.
I wish life is that easy for me, like his. My brother is genuinely blessed, everyone loves him and I bet he almost never worries or stresses about anything!
On the other hand, I am kind of anxious every day, it's becoming a habit now.
What I hope for my brother
I really wish Andreu to have more friends and that he'll be able to speak and act like a regular kid.
I believe that time will come, and we just have to wait.
He did have one friend in Singapore but they don't talk anymore due to the distance.
I'm really grateful God brought him into our family. I hope and will always try to have more bonding moments with him.
I do love him, that's for sure.
And that song that I used to sing when we were younger ( Singapore days ), he still belts it out with me. " Fake love. " He still fondly remembers.

12 thoughts on "How to Actually Take Care of a Brother with Autism-Challenging but Fun!"
Odette S.
Great story! This brings inspiration to all families who experience challenges in raising a family member who has special needs. Ysabel is one exceptional sister!
Hi Odette,
Thanks for your nice comments. Ysabel is indeed one loving, responsible sister.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is a very awesome piece and a very detailed one.
I'm really happy I came across this. Reading about how to actually take care of a brother with autism as challenging but fun sounds really interesting.
With all this information there are lots of possible ways to help children with autism.
Hi Charity,
Thanks for the nice words. I'm happy that you learned something from this post.
Hi there Marita,
This is a beautiful article that you have posted, I love the story.
You really do seem like a caring person. I have brothers too, but I have always wished that my Ma gave birth to a girl! I really would have treated her in the best way possible.
Nice to hear from you. It seems fun to have all brothers in the family. You have the same interests maybe or have the same hobbies, perhaps?
My sister has a child with autism, Phillip. Seriously, it has been much more than what we all bargained for but the beauty there is the fact that he has a very charming personality and most times can serve as a joy giver for the whole family. He has taught me a lot of lessons about life and seeing this, I can resonate with it
How old is Phillip? I understand how he gives joy to your family. It's awesome that he is somehow teaching you life-lessons, as well.
As Ysabel said, they are so innocent and so giving of their love.
I agree that having a sibling can be quite challenging but it is so much fun and I think the first thing that needs to be tweaked for this to happen is for the person to tweak their mentality of the whole issue.
It is only when the mentality has made some changes that the whole journey becomes a lot easier.
I have a friend who enjoys taking his sister out who has autism.
You're right, just accepting the sibling with autism for who he is and what he does, will make their relationship fun and the challenges easy to navigate.
The typical sibling's offer of unconditional love and support is all that matters.
A Jaynes
What a wonderful website and article, thank you!
My wife is currently undergoing the process of getting certified to be a special needs teacher and it has been very insightful for me. I also had volunteered with the Special Olympics some years ago which really opened my eyes to the beautiful possibilities.
This is a remarkable article and your love and care for your brother shines through! 🙂
You and your wife are so honorable for taking on the challenge of serving our special needs people.
This is a guest post of one of the sisters of a boy with Autism.
Thanks for your nice words.

DEPOSED Lusaka Playhouse chairperson Ken Phiri has opposed the intervention of the Registrar of Co-operatives in the ongoing wrangles at the theatre club, arguing that he is favouring the caretaker committee that was constituted following the dissolution of his board.
Phiri's board was dissolved by the members who alleged that they had overstayed in office and a caretaker committee, which has since called for a general meeting next Sunday, was instead constituted.
The Registrar of Societies then intervened, and offered some independent counsel, but Phiri argues that the advice is skewed towards the interests of the caretaker group.
"I am in receipt of your letter dated November 6, in which you have attempted to offer independent advice on the way forward with regards the happenings at the Lusaka Theatre Co-operative Society," he writes in his three-page strong-worded protest letter to the Registrar.
"From the outset, I wish to protest the unprofessional manner in which your office has handled the wrangles at the institution. If your office had the real intentions of protecting the investment by the shareholders, you would have called for a tripartite meeting among the legitimately constituted board of directors, the so-called caretaker committee and your office as arbitrators. Instead, you met the caretaker committee without the board.
Phiri is proposing the holding of the annual general meeting on or around December 13, after completion of the audit of annual accounts.
"You will recall that several attempts have been made to hold the annual general meeting (AGM). By-law no 8.3.0 provides for the holding of the AGM as soon as possible after the completion of the audit of the annual accounts, which means an AGM will not be held unless the audited accounts are presented, deliberated on and adopted by the annual general meeting," he argues.
"In addition, the guidelines under the Co-operatives Act provide for the presence of an official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries as an independent party to the deliberations.
He says in order for the smooth-handover, there are a lot of issues that need clarification from various shareholders that should be resolved at the time of or before the AGM.


Ugh....spelling words, I remember the feeling of torture when I had to practice spelling words. I believe I have passed that trait onto my son. Lets face it, for most of us, memorizing spelling words is not fun. I am learning that on the parent side it feels even worse. I have used practice tests, stair writing, rainbow writing, flashcards, small white boards, and the list goes on. I could tell my oldest son was getting burnt out on these ideas so today I decided to break out the play dough.
All of my kids love play dough. Over the years, I have learned to ignore the mess on the floor and just enjoy the fact that it keeps them happy and busy for an extended period of time. I am sure using play dough for spelling words is not a new idea. But today was the first day it popped into my head.
I would call it a success! I gave my son a plastic place mat, new container of play dough, toothpick (for writing) and a plastic cup for rolling. He is having a great time! It is also a great little workout for fine motor skills.
I love the look of focus on his face.
It also kept little sister busy. :) We also practice her letters in the play dough.


There are many portals available which can help in producing online content for websites.
Let us discuss some of the top tools related to internet publicity – SlideShare, Animaker, Canva and Google Slides.
Most domains mentioned above have their own strengths and limitations in creating marketable content for attracting buyers.
Commercial movies with different types of fancy animations assist in sales growth.
Discussing the topic below only based on the free versions, to simplify comparison.
Purpose : This portal helps mainly in publicizing slide presentations.
The other three applications under discussion here, assist in both as follows !
Producing online content for internet promotion.
However, one can insert a YouTube Video URL, inside slideshows, here.
So this software is helping in part composition of documents too.
The effect of publicity here is quite substantial for acquiring leads and clients through SlideShare.
One needs to first develop either a PDF, a text file or any of the PowerPoint formats and then uplink.
One may add a URL of one or more videos from YouTube or from own Google Drive inside the sliders.
The same is watchable and easy to view within the slide presentations.
A fantastic feature, as this adds a punch to the deck. You can insert more than one URL by the way.
The picture resolution sharpness is top grade, assisting in generating internet promotional matter for companies.
Animation – The biggest limitation here.
As many PPT files are interactive, one feels disappointed at SlideShare flattening out the moving objects.
This website rejects a fantastic characteristic from a PPS, one is left wanting for more.
It's software automatically removes links in the first 3 pages of a Microsoft PPS or Adobe PDF.
However, hyperlinks from the fourth slide onwards work normally.
Background Audio – This tool does not allow music in files uploaded on its platform.
The sound inside the added document becomes muted automatically inside SlideShare.
However, speakers recorded voice, such as explainer notes, are permitted and audible after uplinking.
The only website with this facility, out of all four here, casting it as a unique one in that sense.
The option to re-upload an updated PPS, which overwrites the previous version, is another useful feature.
Integration with Social Media – It has a direct connection with LinkedIn, being its subsidiary.
The main reason for extra internet exposure for SlideShare decks.
As most others, it provides option to share on few other social networks as well.
Embedding – The site extends a provision in such a feature, which is helpful.
A second embed code, especially for WordPress websites is another advantage.
Downloads – One may downlink matter only in the same file type, the user uploads originally.
Nevertheless, this constraint is natural, as this application is not supposed for creating marketable content for websites, but primarily for publicizing the already designed material which one composes anywhere else.
So, this portal is a sales promotional tool for companies.
Size – The output is limited up to a maximum of 300 MB.
This would suffice as the maximum allowable size for PowerPoint documents is 100 Megabytes.
Another positive aspect, as it generates ample room for the kind of users needing to publicize heavy slide presentations for websites.
Length of Deck – One is permitted to have as many slides inside a single deck, here.
This amenity opens up room for an enhanced flexibility while promoting your establishment here.
In-house Exposure – This platform provides an enormous presence in front of official circle.
It has a large number of subscribers and in general yields a satisfactory internet visibility to your commercial material.
This application presents a wide scope in yielding a worthwhile organic visibility on Google and Bing !
The document, if of a high quality and embedded inside your website provides ample exposure.
This designing portal helps in styling various types of sales publicity and internet promotion material.
Out of the four top tools for developing or advertising matter (under discussion), this medium is special.
It assists in both – forming web designs and shaping printed documents for generating brand awareness.
Businesses commonly engage in making slide presentations for websites, styling banners, graphics and brochures.
One may even use it for personal use, as it has a beautiful variety of book cover, photo collage and other templates.
Uploads – This is another strong characteristic of Canva.
Even the SVG format is importable, which is a unique trait of this portal.
The only platform with this facility, here under discussion.
What's more, the possibility to insert EPS files, adds further strength to this application.
For regular images, JPEG's are importable here.
Just like SlideShare, one can embed one or more YouTube URL's here as well.
The same video is viewable if one switches to the presentation-mode in the PDF.
Finally, importing images directly from one's Facebook Account, is also permitted.
Quality – The resolution is of a top class standard.
But surprisingly, sometimes the document's dimensions change after publishing on its software.
It's system might on some occasions, crop the finished template from the sides, leaving you to wonder why it happened.
The weakest point of this program.
Animation – The portal does not render any such features while creating marketable content.
But, this tool is versatile enough for either designing simple websites on one hand and even dashing print graphics on the other.
The facilities and options for pictorial and photo material especially here are elaborate.
Undoubtedly, one is able to yield visually attractive PDF's, web pages, image files and shareable matter at this platform.
One may add official photos , shapes, icons, illustrations, word art in multiple categories.
It has a variety of layouts, elements, grids, frames, charts and fonts needed for producing online content for websites.
Hyperlinks – Create as many links within the artwork or document, as required on Canva.
That gives an opportunity to exploit the best out of the promotional material generated by you, on this internet based resource.
Background Audio – Not available on this application.
There are many other slideshow building programs which provide the facility to insert sound bytes inside the final composition.
However since this software is not focusing on making just sliders, but various kinds of publicity material, hence this limitation is understandable.
Integration with Social Media – Canva does not possess any direct connection with any such network.
However, you may manually promote the link, by sharing on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest etc.
Embedding – Full marks here.
Even this software presents an alternate embed code, especially for WordPress sites.
Downloads – One finds three options for downloading – PDF, PNG and JPEG.
Though not as many file formats available as one would desire, but in general, the 3 choices are sufficient to solve the purpose.
Size – The output is restricted to a maximum of 50 MB, which is adequate in most cases.
Especially when one is designing artwork for the internet environment, larger files are rarely needed.
Length of PDF – Only up to a maximum number of 15 pages are allowable in a single presentation.
Maybe a little improvement required here from Canva.
It would be premature to expect any significant traffic towards your artwork here.
This portal is relatively new in comparison with others under discussion.
This medium is suited for multimedia advertising and brand promotion assignments.
It does not render any notable organic exposure to its output files embedded in a website.
However, it helps in producing online content like digital advertising material, documents, posters etc.
The styling capabilities in terms of making slide presentations on Canva are very powerful.
This applications helps in composing animated cartoon and infographic based 2D explainer videos.
One can add photos, shapes, web icons, backgrounds and illustrations within your workspace on Animaker.
This is a wonderful component you find on this internet advertising medium.
A wide variety of backgrounds, themes and different types of fonts are available too.
Uploads – You're permitted to import PNG and JPEG pictures and MP3 sound bytes here.
In general, these three choices are sufficient as one is able to find substantial graphics, icons, shapes, backgrounds and patterns from within the resource itself.
Quality – Clarity and sharpness in the composed file is of a high standard and easily shareable.
The resolution is sharp, simple to view and strikingly awesome.
Animation – This platform helps in producing online content for websites.
It's user-friendly and makes it easy to develop short cartoon movies, multimedia advertisements here.
Another component one finds on Animaker is the choice for shaping-out dynamic infographics with appealing motion designs.
The screen effects in particular are brilliant.
The "enter" and "end" effects used for simulating objects or text, present many types of interesting options.
This application assists in rendering an entertaining experience to explainer films.
Hyperlinks – For obvious reasons, this provision is not present within Animaker.
Hence, one cannot call it as one of the constraints inside this resource.
Background Audio – Another exceptional component one finds while building video animations here.
Some voice tracks available are quite pleasant sounding.
Importing one's own MP3 sound-byte from the internet is permitted here.
Integration with Social Networking Websites – Animaker is not directly integrated with any network.
This program assists you in traffic generation indirectly.
Exporting the movie to both YouTube and Facebook is permitted.
Embedding – Unfortunately, this amenity is not available here.
This is a drawback inside this tool because an embed code proves to be quite useful.
Inserting artwork from different sources inside own domain yields a versatile user-experience.
Downloads – There is no such provision for downloading the movie directly from Animaker.
This portal is very different from others in this aspect.
After exporting to YouTube, one can either downlink or embed the shareable video, from there.
Whereas, Facebook displays only an embeddable code in such a case.
Size – One can upload photos up to 5 MB, inside one's picture library in this platform.
This may not be an adequate limit in some cases, though.
However, an image compression software might come in handy in such a scenario.
An additional 5 Megabyte can be utilized for importing MP3 audio files too.
Maybe there is no maximum limit for the output size, but the movies are light, considering the resolution quality.
Most likely the produced two minute film will be less than 15 MB, including the audio.
Hence another plus in Animaker's favor.
Length of Video – One can design different types of short 2D movies, up to two minutes long, here.
You may not be able to find a flaw here as normally web designers and multimedia producers confine their promotional films upto the same limit.
One might not witness any considerable internet exposure from within this platform.
One of the top tools for producing online content like animated infographics , making slide presentations and building videos etc.
Traffic from the Spiders – An embeddable code is not accessible.
Hence, this medium does not render any significant natural visibility to your movie on the internet.
Animaker undoubtedly assists in creating marketable content, designing animated videos and exclusive promotional films.
One can conveniently furnish top class multimedia material, PDF documents and SVG files here.
The availability of diverse tools as listed below, makes this application the most effectual out of the ones under discussion !
It assists in styling elegant looking slideshows for websites.
It helps in generating promotional material for business publicity too.
The platform has some special features like Autosave, which takes care of easy recovery through Google Docs.
Another benefit is that it gives the option to make the final output visible only to selected viewers, if required.
Uploads – This specialized program is quite extraordinary on this front too.
One can insert a URL of one or more videos from YouTube or from own Google Drive.
One can also import slides of almost any kind, including the animated ones.
One may include photos in almost all sorts of formats from own hard drive or else through any URL too.
Quality – Just like Canva, the visual precision in images is remarkable too, here.
If one looks at this resource from a broader perspective then this software scores above all by yielding the following !
Helping in making various kinds of publicity material.
Diversity in the kind of uploadable as well as downloadable document formats.
Flexibility in forming the type of composition required.
Immense visibility for your artwork on the internet.
Adaptability in file sizes and length.
Animation – It is truly very simple to use for launching interactive designs too.
Google Slides has a trouble-free interface allowing effortless assemblage while making slide presentations for websites.
The moving objects work smoothly and the "zoom in" and "spin" effects in particular, are magnificent.
Hyperlinks – Yes, the facility to insert links is allowed and they work perfectly after publishing.
And not for forget, gaining a link. originating from the most authoritative source on the planet is a priceless possession for any domain.
Background Audio – The only prominent handicap here.
One cannot add any music or audible speaker notes inside any presentation designed here.
You may insert relevant text notes though.
Nevertheless, as the remaining amenities are first class, this shortcoming is negligible.
Integration with Social Networks – It has a connection with Google Docs, which is a vastly popular portal.
The manual link sharing possibilities here are adequate to assist in internet promotion exercises.
This application helps in acquiring customers through Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc.
Such is because most online marketers do share the product composed by them at this platform.
It dispenses an embed code also which works on almost all kinds of software including WordPress.
You're allowed to save files in several versions – PPTX, Plain Text, PDF, ODP, JPEG, PNG and SVG.
A remarkable element here is that it gives so much flexibility in many areas, as follows !
Producing online content for websites.
This application does not allow downloading the output in MP4 directly.
But it's possible to make a video after opening the composed PPTX and exporting the same in MP4.
Very few portals are permitting conversion within different file types within their own gateway.
You can convert your artwork into either SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, ODP or PPTX after importing the same in any format allowed here.
A very robust factor indeed.
Size – The output is limited up to 100 MB, which is more than enough for most users.
For example, even a finalized document with 50 sliders inside and that too with animation elements would not cross roughly 75 megabytes in volume.
So one could guess that the file compression system within this application is highly powerful.
Length of the PPTX, ODP or PDF – One can have as many slides inside a particular deck here.
As per the information in the previous point, one can feel assured in this regard.
Surely it would be rare to spot any designer trying to include more than 75 sliders in one single deck.
This tool does not present an interface as such to help the audience view your published compositions in-house.
But as one publishes the finalized file to Google Docs, the same is visible there and viewable by everyone.
Like SlideShare, even this source can help in generating a fair bit of natural internet visibility.
Subject to the condition that the design is engaging and contains descriptive images and sensible matter for the audience.
And of course animations, if included, can be the icing on the cake.
Undoubtedly, a great tool for creating marketable content for websites making slide presentations.
To conclude, all these four portals have their pros and cons.
But all are significantly easy to to use for producing online content for building top class websites.

This has been on my radar for a while now, but your review has definitely bumped it further up my Persephone wish list! It sounds like a wonderful blend of the comical and the profound. It's crazy how ahead of its time it was!
Even today I think this kind of role reversal causes a few raised eyebrows, but back in 1924 it must have been quite shocking. It wasn't accepted that married women should work (though I guess that didn't apply to poor women – I'm sure many of them must have been employed in domestic work, like cooking and cleaning). And it certainly wasn't accepted that men should do household chores or raise children!
Oh for sure! It may be less shocking now but its still very relevant!

Interview with Paul McDevitt
British artist Paul McDevitt has long been a key figure in a certain sect of Berlin's art scene, working together with many artists and musicians to build collaborative projects. McDevitt's Prenzlauer Berg project space, Farbvision, has already housed a dozen solo exhibitions since its opening in 2015, presented in the unusual, ornamentally-tiled former butcher shop's storefront room. The artist's studio, where he works on his own labour-intensive print and drawing practice, is in the back of the project space. Adding to the tumult that McDevitt says fuels his work, he also runs a small-scale record company called Infinite Greyscale in the space, with collaborator Cornelius Quabeck. Infinite Greyscale combines their vinyl music releases with limited edition artist screen and risograph prints, combining sound and visual art in a rare and exciting handcrafted product.
SMAC: Where does your interest in DIY practices—like screen printing, graffiti, cartoon, collage—come from?
Paul McDevitt: I started drawing primarily but print has come increasingly into my practice. I really like the crudeness of printmaking; I like the simplicity of drawing. I like the fact that you can make something for €5 because the materials are really basic and the paper is cheap. It's very easy to get seduced by production in art and get caught up making things that are expensive and complicated but I really like these basic things sometimes.
The tools I use can be very simple. It means when you travel you can also use the same materials, whereas if you do residencies it can be very hard to replicate the studio if you make something more complicated. Drawing is an immediate thing: everybody's done it. It's not like painting or sculpture. It's a universal language.
I have a risograph printer here and a basic screen printing setup. Bigger prints I do in a workshop, but things like the records I do in smaller editions. I try to make an edition for each of the artists who show in the Farbvision space, as well: we do a colour risograph print for each edition, in house.
These strategies, like risograph printing, can be interesting because they limit the work as well in terms of colours and size, right?
Yes. The ink drums for the risograph printers can cost up to €1000 so I've only got three colours and the limits are nice. I think everyone treats them differently. It's liberating. There's a consistency to the whole series of artist editions, which is about 13 prints so far. Each one has red and blue cross-hatched lines but, depending on the source material when we work with the artist, each edition looks incredibly different. Some are very graphic, some are quite painterly, some reference other art movements. It's quite amazing what you can do with really simple means.
How do you choose the artists to show in your space?
I choose people whose work I admire and who I'd like to work with. Like every artist you have your limits of what you can do yourself. I'm a rubbish sculptor but I can work with a sculptor here and make an interesting show or make a video installation. It scratches the same itch. It's an expansion of the practice, I suppose.
Through your different projects—Farbvision, Infinite Greyscale, and Clarke & McDevitt—you work a lot with collaboration.
That always brings an element of surprise, something unpredictable to the work. Clarke & Devitt is a platform to formulate thematic exhibitions, which started when I met Declan Clarke in college almost 20 years ago. The exhibitions often involve a lot of different artists. I only do solo exhibitions here at Farbvision, but with Declan we do group shows. We are very different people with completely different backgrounds and interests in art so sometimes that collaboration can be a meeting of minds or a combative situation. When we agree on something we know it must be pretty good. You make decisions more quickly when there's two of you, as well. In the studio, alone, you can stumble along for a long time without finding the right path.
That's what this space is good for, with my personal studio and the more collaborative project space. It's nice to be able to switch projects a bit, it re-energizes you.
Have you worked on producing artworks with Clarke as well?
Some, but not many. We mostly do group exhibitions. We were commissioned to do a piece in Dublin where we bought a concrete tischtennis table here in Germany and brought it over. There weren't any in Ireland. The show was a Communism-themed show so we thought we would bring this table tennis to the public space. We put it in the commercial high street, the widest shopping street in Europe. What we didn't count on was the wind of Dublin: the balls would just go flying and there were two lanes of traffic on either side. It looked amazing but it was a bit dangerous. After the exhibition we gave it to the council and they put it in a park somewhere. Apparently it was very popular with the Chinese community in Dublin.
The last show we did here in Berlin invited artists to contribute a sculpture referencing the painting by J.M.W. Turner called 'Rain, Steam and Speed'. There was no image of the painting in the show but we described thematic, compositional, and colour-elements in the painting through different contemporary sculptures.
We've also done a few printed things. Twin Magazine asked us to contribute, recently. The theme of that issue was 'Youth' so we asked different artists — David Shrigley and Mamma Andersson and others — to give us their invitation cards for their first solo shows.
For Infinite Greyscale and your series of album covers, do you have a specific genre of music that you work with?
Experimental. We try to do things that wouldn't be popular, more like an art piece. Holly Herndon, for example, did a piece for us unlike the popular music she releases normally: it's the sound of a person dancing. Dance music without any music. It's quite a heavy guy, moving through a space, with the squeaking of his hands on the floor. It's really visceral.
We did another piece that's an occult recording of a man speaking in tongues, from the 1940s. The artist composed a score for it: there's a cellist making the same sounds, cut overtop of the guy speaking.
There's no money in it, we cover our costs. So artists feel free to do something different, that doesn't have to sell, or tick any boxes in that way. Some sell better than others. We do different events with these records: we had a big show at the Kunstbibliothek last year. They have an archive of all the records now, so it opens another door.
Your show at SMAC is called 'Modern Furnishings'. Can you explain the title?
I've always been interested in graphic arts, alongside fine art. I like DIY materials, comic books, simple printing, so I got into making repeat patterns quite simply —screen printing or block printing — partly to incorporate drawings and partly as works in themselves. Of course you can print everything digitally now so you can get really perfect renditions. But I really like to do this with screen prints because it's quite confusing to fold up and print 3x2m: it's really massive. On the table, when there's paint everywhere and it's drying on the screen and you're trying to get your head around linking it up to another part, it all gets out of control. I find that lack of control very interesting. I'm always looking for that, also with the collaborations. I like to be put under pressure sometimes and to have things be unpredictable. Through the process of doing this by hand, a character with certain idiosyncrasies develops in the work.
The show explores these ideas of repetition and pattern. The two floors of the gallery will have the same installation and structure: each will have a large repeat pattern on screen print. Each will have one of the two editions, which could join up. It's kind of like area decoration, which has been largely overlooked. Probably because it was a lot of women doing this work and no one cared about women in the art world until about five minutes ago. There's all this amazing stuff that hasn't really been seen. The title suggests that it doesn't matter how it's classified, and that we might, in the future, rearrange what we think is important in art.
In one piece you repeat the patterns of rocks from a Scottish sea wall. Can you tell us about that?
These were from photos I took just a couple of weeks ago when I went to visit my mother. She lives in Fife, which is just north of Edinburgh. There's a very dramatic piece of coastline where the tide goes out a very long way, so there's a sea wall there. It's like being on land when the tide's out: it's a massive piece of beach. And there's no beach at all, when the tide comes in. Being Scottish myself, I can say we're a nation of scumbags. There's a lot of rubbish in the sea wall. The rocks have old bottles and cans wedged between them that washed up in the tide. I took photos of them and made this repeat pattern of bottles jammed in between the rocks.
And there will also be a series of drawings?
Yes, I also have a series of 'Notes to Self' drawings that I've been making for years. This is a pad of notepaper that I have on my desk where I write different notes of things I'm supposed to do, FedEx numbers, and so on. A few years ago I started keeping these and then I would take them out and work on them again. I found it was quite a nice way to kickstart thinking again when you get stuck on bigger projects. They are always done in one session so they are very quick. Ideas of success or failure are less relevant. I've made more than 300 by now. There's a different kind of repetition, like a habit, so I thought it would be nice in the show. I made a repeat pattern of the notes and screen printed them on fabric.
They are quite personal, I like that. You can get all my credit card details and passwords, I guess. They sit for ages: I don't take out the most recent set of notes to draw on, so when I'm stuck there's already a structure to respond to on the paper. In terms of this collaboration theme: it's a bit like collaborating with an earlier version of oneself.

Eastern Christian theology has no notion of Irresistible Grace. Saint Fathers, unlike Western theologians, didn't considered formal analysis of this category to be necessary. They only spoke about Prevenient Grace and Church Grace. Prevenient Grace brings a person to the Church, and thus achieves its aim. The Grace of the Church comes to action next, given through services of each member of Christ's Body. The Lord Himself said: "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). The death itself shall not prevail! This means, the Church and God's energy it brings to the world will never be prevailed by anything: despite any repressions and any personal imperfections of its representatives.
The medial action is a documental shooting of a computer screen while the author covers with black color white background with a white cross in Painter application: the cross can't be blackened, since it's on a higher layer of the graphic file. Firstly, the screen seems to be light blue and the cross is unseen. The more blackening is done, the lighter the screen seems to be thanks to automatic settings of adjustments of contrast the camera has. The cross gradually reveals itself against the dark background and gets brighter and brighter, until in the very end of the action it starts shining. We have to add that the author didn't expect any of the effects of the action and they were quite of a surprise to him. It's a clear manifestation of impossibility of blackening our Church, no matter how hard its opponents try. "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" (John 1:5).

That roll of paper's a hell of a long reach from where the bumper dumper would be fitted isn't it?
Fantastic write up Clive; shame about the gin tank under the commercial floor though.
the shape? You might lose a bit of capacity but...?
How to heat enough water.........?
surely you can use the in built water heater?
have one end connected to a bigger tank and the pump, have an outlet pipe so when it fills, it can go back to the hot water heater tank.
should get hot enough. Although not sure 100% if the tank will deform as its structure is coarse plastic I think.
Have some strong rubber under the tank so it doesnt get piecerd by anything.
Slight upgrade to normal rules. No vid = didn't happen.


I normally discuss NORMAL (prokaryotic) organisms on this blog, not perverted Eukaryotes.
Yes, I'm still here – though I don't know if any of YOU are.
The pay at my job is somewhat low for the skillset it requires, but makes up for that by having a very reasonable workload, a pleasant work environment, and certain perks – like access to the electronic journals that my employer subscribes to. I added an RSS feed from pubmed intended to cover my main interests – basically edible and industrial microbiology and biotechnology. Every day, a list of 300-600 or so new scientific articles pops up in my feedreader and I scan through the titles looking for anything interesting to me. Unintentionally, my selection appears to also result in quite a bit of diabetes, obesity, and sports medicine research. Lately I've taken a moderate interest in our own most blatantly bacterial components, the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are kind of like a nearly 2-billion-year-long case of typhus (or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, if you prefer). After infecting our ancestors (and now us) for so long, they've been reduced to dependency on living in our cells. Perhaps a bit like the progression from wolves to Chinese Crested dogs. On the other hand, having thoroughly domesticated them, we get a lot of use out of them, and couldn't live without them. Their ability to harness the electron-sucking power of oxygen means we get almost 20 times more energy out of our food than we otherwise would, which is a good thing since biologically speaking, keeping the hideously complicated mess of biochemistry that makes up a human body takes a ridiculous amount of biochemical energy compared to that of normal organisms (i.e. prokaryotes).
Lately in the stream of new publications I've been seeing a number of papers suggesting that a lack of proper mitochondrial activity might be related to obesity and related problems (e.g. "metabolic syndrome", type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, obesity-related "inflammation", and so on) and even some age-related problems, both physical and mental. There is some seriously interesting research going on into treatments to potentially stimulate mitochondrial activity and whether this might help solve a number of health problems.
There's a fair amount of rational skepticism over using drugs or nutritional supplements to stimulate mitochondria, but here's a tip that I suspect everyone's doctor would accept: make sure you take your mitochondria for regular walks. Frequent exercise (particularly endurance exercise) seems to be a scientifically well-accepted way to induce production of more mitochondria.
I'm still not sure I know why I have a desire to push recordings of my voice onto a more or less innocent worldwide population, but I do. And now I have a real theme to wrap an attempt at a podcast (or as I prefer – "oggcast") around: scientific papers.
I finally got annoyed at press-release-based science stories one too many times, and thought to myself "why does almost nobody who does these stories at least cite the dang thing so I can go look it up and see what's really in it, if they can't be bothered to actually read and report on it themselves rather than just the press-release?" The story in question was the recent one about how babies understand dog-language (or something like that). Since I consider the dog to be a philosophical role-model, I wanted to read the actual paper and see if it was as silly as the headlines made it sound or (as I suspected) less flashy but more solid…but even "Science Daily" didn't cite it.
Finally talking myself out of putting off doing audio recording, I tracked down the original paper, read it, and whipped out a rough show discussing what I found in the paper. I had fun doing it, so I'd like to turn it into a series.
I've put up a utilitarian page at http://bigroom.org/stirfry with both a built-in <audio> tag interface and direct-download links for both Ogg Vorbis and MP3 versions.
The rate at which I can convince myself to try to crank these out (and improve their quality) is directly proportional to how much interest there might be out there in them, so please don't hesitate to let me know if you think this might be interesting. Please don't let me slack off! Also, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything I mention in the show or the attached show notes.
If you don't want to comment here, you can also email me at epicanis at bigroom.org.
I just shot off an email to the webmaster (the only contact I could find who might have the relevant information) of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling, trying to get access to a classic paper published in the Journal of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling for the upcoming "On the Shoulders of Giants" carnival.
There's no way I can afford the ~$300US that it would cost to join the group, nor even at the moment to pay the typical $30 or so that greedy paywall-imprisoned publishers charge for individual articles. However, they appear to be opening up their archives to the public, for which I think they deserve substantial praise. Still, they haven't worked their way back to the first few decades of the 20th century yet, so I had to email and ask if there was a way to get the article in question. If not, I'll see if there's any way to get it through inter-library loan in time.
"Small Things Considered" asks "What Microbiological Discovery in 2008 Did You Find Especially Interesting?" Which brings us to the "self-eating" thing.
The paper on caffeine's induction of macroautophagy ("self-eating") in yeast (and what happens when benzoic acid is also present) finally escaped from the paywall prison in January, and I now have a copy. I at least thought it was full of interesting implications (along with some useful knowledge), so I'll hopefully be posting about it soon.
And of course, I still need to do some Xanthomonas snot Xanthan Gum experiments.
Once again I'm down to the last minute, trying to juggle too many things and almost missing this month's "Giant's Shoulders" blog carnival. Almost.
This paper is an overview of the problem of categorizing bacteria among the types of living things, and makes some early suggestions. I don't think it'll spoil too much of the punchline to point out that not only is the journal about the biology of plants, but the paper also starts out with Cohn describing how he came to work at the "plant physiological institute". Cohn's assertion that bacteria are definitely a form of plant actually stuck for at least another three-quarters of a century or so – I have a copy of a 1945 book on bacteriology that actually has a short discussion on why bacteria are categorized as plants rather than animals (or "animalcules", even). That's only part of what's interesting about this paper, though.
Cohn discusses a number of problems with the nature of bacteria in his time. For one thing, he says there had been little real effort to even come up with a coherent scheme for classifying bacteria at that point. He does mention one previous attempt to come up with a system, but on the whole it seems everyone is just coming up with terminology on the fly – even taking Pasteur himself to task for throwing around a variety of terms related to microbes without distinguishing what the terms actually refer to. The reason for this, really, is just that figuring out pretty much anything in detail about bacteria was a seriously difficult problem at the time. Cohn explains why; how it is really impossible to make out more than general shape and size from microscopic examination, and how the lack of any detectable sexual reproduction makes it impossible to do positively identify members of the same species. In fact, even very obvious differences in appearance might not be definitive. It was suspected (and later demonstrated) that some of what appeared to be completely different fungi were actually just different life-stages of the same fungus. (Hopefully you can see the picture at upper right, with the bacteria/yeast-like growth on one tube and the obvious and very different fuzzy mold-type growth on the other. Both are actually the fungus Blastomyces dermitiditis.) Just as some of Cohn's contemporaries considered that perhaps all molds and yeasts were really just different stages of life of the same organism, perhaps the same might also be true of bacteria?
Cohn does, after all, promote the notion of bacteria as a type of fungus. You may even remember an old word for bacteria: Schizomycetes, that is "fission-fungi" (that is, fungi that reproduce by splitting in half rather than producing spores). This makes sense if you consider that bacteria are more like plants and algae than animals, and fungi were considered to be plants that lacked chlorophyll. Although lamenting that it was not feasible to really separate out individual bacteria to determine whether they ever changed form – this was still three years before Joseph Lister actually did so – Cohn unwaveringly felt that bacteria were in fact made up of several different genera and species, and set out an early attempt at classification.
Once again, Our Friend the American Society for Microbiology hosts a translation of this paper, complete with a couple of paragraphs of more modern editorial commentary at the end. It's well worth a look.
Unfortunately, I don't think Ferdinand Cohn's hairstyle is nearly as spiffy as Eduard Buchner's cool "Colonel Sanders Guest Stars on Miami Vice" look. I think he looks kind of like a slightly-better-fed Sigmund Freud with a bad comb-over. But that's just me.

Sorry, Guys, Ashton Kutcher Won't Be Coming Back for the New 'Punk'd' Reboot
By Katie Garrity
It's no secret that we're living in the age of reboots. From One Day at a Time to Saved By The Bell to the rumored Friends reunion, we're living in an age of nostalgia. Millennials are soaking up the memories and streaming services and networks are banking off of it.
Streaming newcomer, Quibi, announced that they will be bringing back reality prank show, Punk'd. The platform is set to premiere April 6 along with the reboot. Quibi is an upcoming American short-form mobile video platform that will have a variety of short shows, including Punk'd. While it's exciting to see this show be brought back to life, most people just want to know if the former host and head prankster, Ashton Kutcher, will be returning to be on the new show.
'Punk'd' premiered on MTV in 2003.
The original version of Punk'd first premiered in 2003 on MTV with host Ashton Kutcher. In the show, Ashton pranked his celebrity friends in very comedic and sometimes harsh ways. Remember when he made Justin Timberlake cry? Or how about that time he convinced Beyoncé that she ruined a children's Christmas party?
The original show went on for eight seasons and ended its run in 2007. MTV brought the show back in 2012 for a ninth season with guest hosts including Justin Bieber, according to IMDb. The show was brought back again for a10th season in 2015 with various guest hosts including King Bach.
Chance the Rapper will be the new host of 'Punk'd.'
The Chicago rapper will be the new host of the latest version of the prank show, according to his tweets. "I got a new job. I'm hosting PUNK'D on @Quibi NO ONE IS SAFE," Chance tweeted.
I got a new job. I'm hosting PUNK'D on @Quibi NO ONE IS SAFE pic.twitter.com/j616DdUro1
— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) January 24, 2020
Chance seems up for the opportunity and ready to bring a new flair to the show while also honoring the legacy the original series left behind. "Punk'd is one of MTV's most iconic franchises," Chance the Rapper said in a statement. "I grew up watching this show, and it's surreal to be in the driver's seat this time around on Quibi."
Ashton Kutcher didn't even know the show was getting a reboot.
Ashton Kutcher appeared on CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden and was asked if he will be involved in the upcoming reboot. Ashton told James, "Nobody called me, nobody asked me," the That '70s Show star said. "I love Chance the Rapper. I think he's amazing, but I didn't even know it was happening. I was flipping through the news on the phone and I was like, 'Oh, they're doing 'Punk'd.'"
I have nothing to do with the new punk'd situation. Hope they get it right.
— ashton kutcher (@aplusk) June 18, 2019
The actor also tweeted that he will not be joining the revival of Punk'd. "I have nothing to do with the new punk'd situation," Kutcher tweeted. "Hope they get it right."
He seemed a little perturbed by the reboot and miffed he wasn't asked to be a part of it. He also told James Coron, "I don't see how they can make it bigger than what it was." He implied that they wouldn't be able to get the star-caliber that he did back in the day. He brought up singer Billie Eilish as a possibility for a good candidate.
Punk'd is set to premiere on Quibi on April 6.

Why not invoke executive privilege?? Trump tax return story

Except the democrats in the congress said for 2 years they would wait until the Mueller report came out.
The Mueller report came out, they didn't like what it said, so now they're attempting a re-do.
IOW...a tantrum.
Yes. But for anyone to try and argue that Mueller didn't see any prosecutable obstruction because he didn't recommend prosecution or issue a sealed indictment is to either be lying or not understand what he actually said in the report. So can we at least agree that your statements in this regard were incorrect and that you now understand what is in the report?
Now just ponder the bolded for a spell...
Why? So you can confirm to me that you're either lying or don't understand what he actually said in the report?
Since what he actually said in the report has been laid out to you and you seemed to agree with it earlier, why are you going back to your silly circular argument now?
They liked what it said just fine. That's why they are using what was said in the report as a basis for their investigations going forward.
I don't believe the report itself exonerates anything. (Yes I know I said it did on collusion). The interpretation of the report by the DOJ does exonerate Trump on both fronts and that's what the congressional pant-wetting tantrums are all about.
On both subjects, Mueller cites instances that were investigated for collusion and obstruction. Mueller declares he can't find evidence of collusion and still provides the instances that were investigated in the report. Ditto with obstruction with the difference being he says he can't make a decision either way. If Mueller could positively declare there was obstruction, he would've submitted sealed indictments to be opened after Trump left office. He didn't do that.
Now answer my question....
Are you good with a republican congress exercising its constitutionally mandated "oversight" and investigating Biden and his family...just to see if they can find anything?
bold ^
Yes, for sure, anyone who is going to be president, with all the powers and responsibilities that that entails, should be vetted, up, down, left and center.
George Washington was the man who never told a lie. Richard Nixon was the man who never told the truth. Donald Trump is the man who doesn't know the difference.
Venezuela is what happens when you have Trump without the Madison.
Correction: they didn't like how the AG interpreted the report - the attempted whitewashing. You know, the AG who interviewed for the job by telling the boss that he'd get him off. The crooked AG who works for the crooked president. The crooked president with the crooked son. Etc.
arcadesonfire
[The Mueller report came out, they didn't like what it said, so now they're attempting a re-do.
By your own words, you agreed that congress and Mueller answer to different people. Thus they have different powers and limitations. By your own words, you agree that Congress is a separate power from the DOJ, but you continually suggest that Congress can only re-do what Mueller did. That's illogical. Democrats did wait for the Mueller report to come out; they waited for facts to be established (in a way that you can no longer call Trump Tower Moscow, meetings between campaign officials and Russians, etc., "fake news"); and, convenient for them, they waited until (via the 2018 election) they had subpoena power to carry out their own investigations.
Your words about the opening of Volume II and your ignoring of Mueller's stated reasons for not accusing the president aren't logical. So here ends our argument. You've got a different interpretation of his words than me. How do we determine which one of us can read and comprehend Mueller's meaning properly? Shucks... I wish I could challenge you to an LSAT competition. Since we can't, I think we have to leave it here. You think the Mueller report is simply pron for Dems; I've read it and understand why he did not make an accusation or indictment in Volume II. Maybe one of us has TDS, but we can't objectively determine who.
I still don't understand why you can't simply say why you spell impeach with an n. I suspect you're attempting to lampoon Democrats, and if it's a joke, I'd love to hear why. (I once explained on here why "ruh roh" is a joke.) But if you truly don't understand your motivations, then of course we won't be on the same playing field when we talk about other stuff.

For those who prefer to listen rather than read and who ask these questions: What underlying crimes were being investigated when Trump obstructed justice? Why wasn't he indicted? Why did Mueller discuss indicting a sitting president in Volume II but not Volume I?

Then, why aren't they doing it? Is it that 900+ lawyers are full of crap or is it that the senate/congress are incompetent? You can't even get the House to start the proceedings, much less the senate to try the impeachment. Maybe 900+ lawyers don't understand what is involved in having a "successful' impeachment////or how pointless it is to impeach, when you can't win the case.
fyi...I did not read the link.
Here's an old joke that teaches a very important lesson.
get someone to ask you what's the Secret of Comedy.
then when they start to say the word secret, you talk over them and say the word timing.
the timing of an impeachment is also as critical as anything else. Somebody joked in the article I read recently that three things you shouldn't rush are sex, barbecue and impeachment.
the strategy by the Democrats looks pretty clever to me. First let's get the issues in the public eye.
ask for cooperation, then ask again.
then start issuing subpoenas and contempt citations.
get judges to back you up with rulings in the court.
keep looking at all the things that he's hiding.
this is the death by a Thousand Cuts strategy.
Don't rush into it. Keep Trump on the defense looking guilty.
build public support for the eventual Showdown.
They will in the history books!
;Clever? It looks more like "retreat" and try desperately to figure out another plan of attack.Throw everything against the wall & hope that something might eventually stick. trump doesn't look guilty from what I see. He looks like a peacock strutting his feathers, while the dems appear to look like a dog with their tail tucked between their legs in desperation.
What I see is, a sorry incompetent president equally match against sorry incompetent democrats.
Keep the faith!!!!!!!
