"Parallel" (2020)
Directed by Isaac Ezban
Culture Representation: Taking place in the Seattle area, the sci-fi drama "Parallel" features a predominantly white cast of characters (with some black and Hispanic people) representing the middle-class.
Culture Clash: Four housemates discover that their house has a mysterious mirror that leads to a parallel world where every person on Earth has an alternative look-alike counterpart in the parallel world, which operates at a slower time pace than Earth does.
Culture Audience: "Parallel" will appeal primarily to people who like twist-filled science fiction where the characters in the story have ethical dilemmas.

What would you do if you could take knowledge from a parallel world that's almost identical to Earth and bring that knowledge to Earth? And how would it affect your life and the lives of others? Those are the major questions behind the plot and character actions of the sci-fi dramatic thriller "Parallel," which brings suspenseful and philosophical moments to a flawed but overall entertaining story.
Directed by Isaac Ezban and written by Scott Blaszak, "Parallel" has a few plot holes that aren't resolved by the end of the movie. However, these unanswered questions don't take away from the overall storyline, which is held together by the entirely believable premise that people will often go to extremes if they think there's a shortcut to what they think will make them happy. "Parallel" throws in the complications of greed and loyalty to demonstrate that this shortcut to happiness isn't as simple as it might seem.
The story in "Parallel" essentially revolves around four friends/co-workers in their mid-to-late 20s who live together in a house in the Seattle area. ("Parallel" was actually filmed in Vancouver.) Noel Eggerton (played by Martin Wallström) is the group's "alpha male" who think he's the smartest one and always acts as if he should be the one to make the most important decisions for the group. Devin Parkes (played by Aml Ameen) is also very intelligent, but he's a lot more sensitive and compassionate than Noel. Leena Fortier (played by Georgia King) is a free-spirited artist who used to be Noel's girlfriend, but she decided that it wasn't a good idea to mix business with pleasure. Josh Resig (played by Mark O'Brien) is a laid-back, creative type who has a mischievous side to him.
The four pals work together as the founders of a start-up tech company that's trying to sell an app where people can rent private parking space to the public. (The name of the company is never mentioned in the movie.) Their goal is to eventually incorporate the app into technology for voice-activated cars.
Noel, Devin and Josh are the main developers of the app, while Leena and Josh share artwork duties, with Leena being the lead artist. Noel and Devin are in charge of sales and marketing. So far, the four friends haven't had much success with the business. Money is running out, and the four friends might be evicted from their home if they can no longer pay their rent and other bills.
Near the beginning of the film, Noel and Devin are seen giving a sales pitch for the parking app in a boardroom full of bored and skeptical businesspeople. The leader of this business meeting asks if Noel and Devin can have the app ready by a deadline that Noel and Devin admit that won't be able to meet. To Noel and Devin's dismay, they find out that an acquaintance of theirs named Seth has put in a competitive bid with the company to develop a similar app. Seth has guaranteed that he can make the company's deadline.
Adding insult to injury, Seth had previously interviewed to work at the four friends' start-up company. But instead, Seth took the intellectual property information that he found out during the interview and used it to develop a similar app. Seth's backstabbing move is an indication of the four friends' lack of business savvy that they didn't patent their idea and make Seth sign a non-disclosure/non-compete agreement when he interviewed for a job with their company.
The four friends had been counting on selling the app to the company that has now rejected them. Without this sale, they have reached the dejected conclusion that they can no longer afford to pay their house rent, and their start-up will probably have to go out of business. To drown their sorrows, the four pals go out for drinks at a local bar. Devin tells the other three that he's thinking of taking another job.
One of the employees of the bar is a bartender named Carmen (played by Alyssa Diaz), who is somewhat aware that Josh has a big crush on her. However, Carmen has a boyfriend, so Josh doesn't want to make any moves on her. Carmen is friendly to Josh, but she's not flirtatious. This love triangle ends up being a pivotal subplot to the story.
When the four housemates go home, they find out through a series of random circumstances that the house has a hidden room that contains a mysterious full-length mirror. And they get very freaked out when they see that the mirror's glass is actually more like a liquid substance. When someone puts a hand through the "liquid glass," it disappears into a void, but the person is able to pull the hand out of the mirror.
Devin puts his hand in the mirror and describes the feeling as a "warm tingle, like your foot's asleep." And when Devin video records the mirror on his phone, he sees that the video shows the room without the four friends in it. Finally, curiosity gets the better of Josh. Before his housemates can stop him, Josh declares before he jumps completely into the mirror: "Neil Armstrong's got nothing on me!"
What Josh finds on the other side of the mirror is a parallel world where he sees alternative versions of himself, Noel, Devin and Leena in the same-looking house. The four "alternatives" don't see him though. The four friends in the parallel world have the same names as their Earth counterparts and look exactly like their Earth counterparts. Noel watches as the four "alternative" friends spend time in the backyard for a barbecue, which is something that the real Josh, Noel, Devin and Leena are not currently doing on Earth.
Josh makes his way back to the mirror and returns to Earth in the house's secret room, where he tells his three friends what he saw. Of course, they're very shocked at first. But when they see that Josh doesn't seem to have any side effects from his trip, they decide to get more information about this parallel world. Through a few experimental trips back to the parallel world, the four friends find out that one minute on Earth equals three hours in the parallel world.
In this secret room that they've discovered on Earth, the four friends also find diaries from the house's previous occupant: a hermit named Marissa Widdicomb (played by Kathleen Quinlan, in a cameo), who mysteriously disappeared before the four friends moved into the house. By reading Marissa's diaries, the four friends discover that Marissa also found out about the secret powers of the mirror. Marissa was a widow grieving over her dead husband, and she decided to find out if her husband was still alive in the parallel world. She tracked down her alternative self in the parallel world, began stalking her alternative self, and found out that her husband's alternative self was alive and well.
Marissa became so obsessed with wanting her husband back that she planned to murder her alternative self and secretly take her place. This murder is shown at the very beginning of "Parallel." Viewers find out later in the movie who the people are in this scene and why this murder was committed. In her diaries, Marissa cautions against anyone coming face-to-face with their alternative or "alt" self because it will probably lead to the death of one of the selves.
Despite the tricky and possibly dangerous outcomes of messing with fate in two different worlds, it isn't long before the four friends decide it's worth the risk to use this mirror portal to their advantage. Because they're desperate to sell their app to the company that rejected them, the four friends come up with a scheme to finish the app in the parallel world in order to beat Seth in the deadline. They call the mission "Operation Fuck Seth."
Sure enough, the plan works. They finish the app before Seth does, and the sale is made. The four friends celebrate by driving to Seth's house and gloating to him by telling him the news. Seth is incredulous that they made the deadline before he did. And he becomes increasingly suspicious when he sees the four friends' fortunes go from bad to "too good to be true."
That's because greed inevitably takes over, especially with Noel, Leena and Josh. At first, they decide to go to the parallel world, pretend to be their alternative selves, and go on spending sprees by buying things that the alternative selves will have to pay for but the real selves on Earth can enjoy. (There's a montage of all the gifts that the greedy pals buy for themselves and bring back to Earth.)
And then, two of the friends decide to take knowledge from the parallel world that isn't known yet on Earth, and use that knowledge to get rich and famous. Noel decides to steal technology ideas, while Leena (who has always dreamed of being the type of celebrated artist who has her own exhibit at an art gallery) steals art ideas. They both get a lot of praise, recognition and financial rewards for their stolen ideas that they pass off as their own.
Josh doesn't get as deep into stealing as Noel and Leena do, but Josh doesn't disapprove of what they're doing either. Josh's main concern is how to win over Carmen. Meanwhile, Devin is the only one of the four friends who has a conscience and refuses to steal ideas from the parallel world. He warns his friends that they could face serious consequences if they're caught, but his warnings go unheeded.
Devin has a reason for feeling as guilty as he does: It has to do with his father Martin Parkes (played by David Harewood) and something that haunts Devin that's explained in the movie but won't be revealed in this review. It's enough to say that although Devin won't steal ideas from the parallel world, he does have a very big motive to use the parallel world to possibly change things about his life.
One of the four friends ends up becoming the worst of the group (it's easy to predict which one) and there are several things that happen in the story that indeed become life-or-death situations. "Parallel" somewhat devolves into the type of formulaic thriller where certain people turn against each other and loyalties are tested. However, there's still enough suspense in the story to keep viewers interested in what will happen and how the story will end.
To distinguish between scenes on Earth and scenes in the parallel world, "Parallel" uses different techniques from cinematographer Karim Hussain. The scenes on Earth have a warmer hue, with a lot of gold and brown coloring. The scenes in the parallel world have a bluish glow, with tilted camera angles and slightly warped effects on the camera lens. Viewers who are paying attention will easily be able to notice the differences between these two worlds.
Out of the four actors playing the main characters in "Parallel," Ameen does the best in portraying a well-rounded person. And that's mainly because his Devin character is the only one who has a significant backstory. King also fares quite well in portraying Leena, who at times appears to be complicated because she could go either way in some of the decisions that she has to make.
"Parallel" clearly has influences from "The Twilight Zone" and taps into age-old questions about how much in life happens because of fate versus free will. The ending of the movie is a jumbled rush that could have been improved by answering a few questions that remain unanswered. However, the movie is enough of an interesting sci-fi jaunt that's worth watching if viewers don't mind keeping track of characters that have look-alike counterparts in a parallel world.
Vertical Entertainment released "Parallel" in select U.S. cinemas, on digital and VOD on December 11, 2020.

Those wandering the trails of Wharton State Forest looking to capture pictures of foliage and breathtaking views may unfortunately have tires, toilets and other garbage in those photographs as the battle against illegal dumping in the park rages on.
So far this year, the DEP has received 22 reports of illegal dumping in state parks and forests. Considine said that number is on par with the usual 20–30 reports the department receives annually. He also said the number of reports doesn't fluctuate much from year to year and cannot be attributed to any specific trends. Obviously, those numbers do not account for the dumping that goes unreported.
A firebreak is a gap in vegetation or other combustible material that acts as a barrier to slow or stop the progress of a wildfire. Firebreaks may occur naturally, such as a river or lake, but they can also be man-made, and many also serve as roads, a four-wheel drive trail or a highway. Considine said that anything found is searched for shipping labels or any evidence of who may have left the trash. According to Considine, people other than park staff often make reports of illegal dumping.
"Many times, we receive word from patrons who are just walking or enjoying the park. It's a combination of citizens and park employees that witness people illegal disposing of trash," Considine said.
The average minimum fine for a person or business caught dumping is $2,000 while the average maximum is $50,000. Penalties can reach $250,000 per day if the materials found are hazardous. Considine says the DEP is not alone in its efforts to keep Wharton free of trash and looking its best.
"Volunteer groups regularly schedule times to come into the park and do a clean-up project. We appreciate the efforts of those in the local community figuring out ways to help out as well as donating their time and effort," Considine said.
On Oct. 27, the Pine Barrens 4Wheel Drive Cleanup was held in Shamong for the 12th consecutive year. The annual event brings hundreds of people and their trucks to the area all with the purpose of cleaning up the forest. People from Burlington as well as neighboring Atlantic, Camden and Gloucester counties filled dumpsters and countless trucks with tires, shingles, piping and other garbage. According to Considine, the DEP is doing what it can to ensure the volunteers' work isn't for nothing.

Danny Goldberg - Serving The Servant - Remembering Kurt Cobain - Books - Reviews - Soundblab
Danny Goldberg - Serving The Servant - Remembering Kurt Cobain
by Florian Meissner Rating: Release Date: Label:
On April 5, 2019, it will be 25 years since one of the most iconic artists of the 90s rock scene died. I was too young to understand what had happened when the news broke, but my youth (just like that of most people of my generation) was dominated by Nirvana. We all knew the words to songs like "Come as you are", "Polly", "Heart Shaped Box", and obviously "Smells like teen spirit", and they'd play at every party and little gathering.
And with "Serving the Servant", Danny Goldberg adds to the incredible legacy this little band from Seattle has left us with. If there is a person that knew the artist Kurt Cobain just as good, if not better than his own bandmates, it would be Mr. Goldberg. He was Nirvana's manager from 1991, right up until that fateful day in 1994 – and in Serving The Servant, he chronicles those three incredible years in the life of a man who wanted to make music, and broke doing it.
First things first: if you've read some of the many books on Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, don't expect anything new. If you're looking for new ideas to fuel one of the many conspiracy theories around Cobain's death, don't read it. But if you want to get a full picture of who Kurt Cobain was, how he presented himself to others, how he was conceived by his peers, this book is perfect for you.
Danny Goldberg manages to do something in this book many couldn't: he looks back at the life of Cobain without the typical romanticising of past memories. He doesn't glorify Kurt Cobain or tries to turn him into something he wasn't. He shows the person Cobain was. Obviously, he shows a biased version, but he never claims not to. And it's that honesty, about himself and about his perception of Cobain, that makes this biography so incredibly valuable.
Goldberg creates an intimate picture of the person that was Kurt Cobain. He manages to describe him in ways that only a close friend or a family member could – an idea that isn't far fetched since Kobain saw Goldberg as a kind of father figure. In all my years as a Nirvana fan, I never had the feeling I understood Kurt Cobain as a person, as something other than this glorified version we are presented in Godspeed, for example (although I have to say, Godspeed is an excellent graphic novel!). Goldberg creates a proper, three-dimensional picture of one of the greatest artists of our time.
I could ramble on for quite a while about how brilliant a picture Goldberg drew of Cobain, but I fear I might just start glorifying. But since it's the fact that he doesn't glorify what makes Goldberg's biography of Cobain so brilliant, let's just leave it with this:
On April 2nd, go out, buy this book, and maybe take some holidays because you won't put it down until you're done.

Portugal Weather in August
What's the weather like in Portugal in August?
Portugal's in Western Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, surrounded by Spain and the North Atlantic Ocean. August is the height of summer, and you'll get lots of sun and not much rain if you're going at this time. There's some differences in weather around the country though. The south, where you'll find the popular Algarve region, has a fairly typical Mediterranean climate, while regions along the west coast are warmed by the Gulf Stream. You'll have cool breezes all along the coast which take the edge off August's high temperatures, and the island of Madeira has even hotter weather than the mainland.
The average high in capital Lisbon is 28ºC in August and things stay nice and pleasant in the evenings, which cool to 18ºC. The sea temperature's 20ºC while humidity's moderate. There's just 5mm of rain over two days and 14 hours of daylight with 11 hours of sunshine each day. UV levels will be moderate, while sunset's nice and late at around 8.45pm at the start of the month.

BBC accused of cock ring bias
ALL male BBC presenters have some form of penis adornment, it has emerged.
Following the promotion of Evan 'Prince Albert' Davis, sources within the corporation said it was dominated by a powerful cock ring clique called 'the janglers'.
A BBC source said: "Pretty much all the BBC big beasts have some metal in their helmets.
"Huw Edwards sports an amethyst-encrusted hoop in his bell end, while Andrew Neil has four solid gold safety pins in each of his testicles.
"Alan Yentob has pewter chains connecting the base of his shaft to his ears.
"The BBC equivalent of a masonic handshake is to stick a hand in your left trouser pocket and make a rattling noise.
"It all started under Greg Dyke, who said you couldn't trust a man who hadn't experienced pain and bought jewellery."
Nan rates films based on scenery
81-YEAR-OLD Mary Fisher's opinion of a film is based entirely on whether it features pleasant scenery.
Grandmother Fisher said her favourite film was Australia with Hugh Jackman, although she has no awareness of any story details.
She said: "There's kangaroos and mountains. And I've always been interested in going on holiday to Australia, although it does look very hot.
"I didn't really like the talking bits but it's good where you can see nice views of the landscape from the sky."
Fisher's other favourite films are one with India in the title and 'Doctor Thingy' with Omar Sharif.
"I used to like Heartbeat when that was on the telly, it always had fields in it.
"But I don't want you to think I just like nice scenery. I enjoy interesting scenery too, like big clouds and stormy seas."

New Tokyo Misfits
Ms Magic
Neutraliser and Trailblazer
By scoopey in Alpha Superior Criminals, Alpha Superiors, CLEA Watch List, Criminal Partnerships, Dossiers, Skilled Criminal Warriors (Non Enhanced), Skilled Fighters (Non Enhanced), The Zeus Protectorate
Trailblazer – Jacqueline Moreau
Neutraliser – Edward Ross
Specialist Combatant (Moreau)
Alpha Superior (Ross)
Moreau – excels at bush craft particularly tracking which helps her to find her "targets". Also has above average hand to hand combat skills. Previously used to use the nickname "Jack Knife" . This was given to her by her comrades during her time in Special Ops working for the French Military and arose from the usage of her preferred weapon, a large hunting blade. Since she now tries to take her "victims" alive she dropped the name in favour of the CLEA appointed codename "Trailblazer". Despite the fact her main weapons oare non lethal she still carries a large blade for use in emergencies.
Alpha Ability (Ross) – Has the means to suppress the abilities of other Alphas when in close proximity to them. He is also expert in many types of firearms and though not formally trained he can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat.
Will abandon a job if it becomes trickier than they have been led to believe.
Only hunt when paid.
At one time this pairing actually appeared on CLEA's database for all the right reasons. Jacqueline had originally carved out a career as a Special Ops soldier operating for the French military. Her work involved infiltration and catching dangerous criminals and it was during one of those assignments she met Edward Ross.
Intelligence had located a most dangerous criminal known as Lise Renard but before the authorities could arrest her, she had gone to ground. Jaqueline and her team was brought in to try and pick up the trail of the target. Using her superior tracking skills, Jaqueline was not only able to locate the area in which Renard had vanished but actually find her hideout. Intelligence though was missing one vital piece of information, the target was an Alpha Superior. Consequently when her team stormed the building they found themselves being cut down by exploding objects. Renard's particular gift was the means to charge ordinary objects with energy and cause them to explode.
By the time Jacqueline worked out what was happening most of her team were either dead or injured and she was not been hunted the criminal. Since the framework of the building shielded transmissions calling for help meant she had to get outside but Lise had booby trapped everyone except the front entrance. This was obviously a trap so Jacqueline spent two hours playing a game of cat and mouse in an attempt to draw Lise away from the area.
When she finally appeared to go for the bait, Jacqueline broke cover and ran for the exit only to find her plan had failed because Lise blocked off the exit and began charging up objects. No doubt Jacqueline would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of Edward Ross.
He classed himself as a retrieval expert, particularly people, although everyone else regarded him as a mercenary. Lise had been paid to do a job and chose instead to run off with the money so the same employer had paid him to capture Lise. Though an expert in weapons handling, Ross had one secret weapon he often kept quiet about and that he was an Alpha Superior and his special gift enabled him to neutralise the gifts of any Alpha superior in close proximity.
When he entered the doorway, Lise suddenly found herself unable to charge any objects and then all he did was hit her with a stun grenade and take his prize. Jacqueline though also wanted Lise, so Edward gave her the choice and that was to waste time fight with him over Lise or spend that time saving as many of her dying team as she could. Unable to abandon her comrades, Jacqueline had no choice but to let him go.
For failing to capture Lise and getting half her team killed she was reprimanded by her superiors. Since it was dodgy intel that had led to the tragic circumstances, Jacqueline felt she was being made a scape goat and so within months of her disciplinary hearing she chose to quit her job.
She took up work as a private security specialist and though she never expected to see Edward again, fate would intervene. He was pursuing another target and bumped into her, literally, in the street. A chance encounter of that nature obviously surprised him and the distraction allowed his target to get away. It was then that he spotted her uniform which he thought was odd as he figured she was career military but when she explained the fallout after failing to capture Lise, he understood although he did not think it was fair.
Since both of them had places to be, Edward suggested the meet sometime later over a drink. Although she hardly knew him, since technically he had "saved" her life she thought it would be rude to say no. Consequently two days later she found herself opposite him at a pub near the outskirts of Europa. Over a drink they recounted past stories and after explaining some of her military career Edward suggested she come and work for him. He was feeling a little guilty about his actions leading to her current change in career. She thanked him but ultimately refused so he asked why. Jacqueline then explained that she could not become a mercenary since a lot of work was not always within the law. He thought suggested that when she had lived with the rules she had been cheated so perhaps it was time she made her own rules.
Still unsure, Jacqueline agreed to a try out since she needed the money. Together they apprehended the person he had been following several days earlier. One job led to another and before she realised, she had become his partner. By this time work had taken them to America and it was over in Atlantica that they ended up having one too many brushes with the law but rather than jailing them they were given an alternative, become bounty hunters and chase down criminals that had jumped bail. Since the APD was aware of Ross's particular talents, the assignments they received usually involved people being Alphas.
CLEA too learned of the pairing and began employing them as special assets. Eventually they were given so much work that the APD freed them from their obligations and the pair began to work for CLEA full time. As the mission completions began to build up, the pair eventually became a victim of their own success. Those in charge of the CLEA budgets considered the pair were simply getting easy assignments and unilaterally chose to lower their payments to reflect this. The pair argued that they were not getting easy jobs but were just good at their work but nobody listened. Though Jacqueline had got used to playing by the rules even she had enough of being screwed so she surprised Edwards by suggesting they go and take their skills elsewhere.
After going rogue, when CLEA eventually learned where pair was and what they doing, Agents discovered they had gone back to Edward's original line of work, retrieving people for the highest bidder. Furthermore it was learned that before taking on a job the pair have only two rules, the first being they receive half the payment up front and the second is they do not want to know why the client wants the targeted individual. In return they do not ask questions but this is more of a point that they do not want to know the eventual fate of their "victims." Such is their reputation the pair are suspected to have taken work for the Protectorate.
Though obviously they specialise in catching Alphas, the pair have been known to go after "ordinary" people as well, depending on if the rewards are worth it.

Q: How can i put my database result in 3 dimensional array? This is my code
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT title,text,date FROM news limit 5");

is there any way to extract title,text,date from $result and put them into 3 dimensional array?

A: What about
$result = mysql_query("SELECT title,text,date FROM news limit 5");
$array = array();
$i = 0;

while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ) {
    $array[$i] = array();
    // i'm just guessing at what sort of array you want
    $array[$i][$row['title'] = array( 'text' => $row['text'], 'date' => $row['date'] );
    $i++;
}

A: I'd be interested to know what the ... you need a three-dimensional array for but ok:
$dim = array();

$result = mysql_query(...);

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) )
    // Whatever you want to save in that particular bucket,
    // I'll be using the result set
    $dim[$row['title']][$row['text']][$row['date']] = $row;

Strange, ...

A: If we are already guessing, here is mine:
$results = array();

while(($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))) {
    $results[] = $row;
}

which will create an array like this:
array(array('title' => 'foo',
            'text' => 'bar',
            'date' => 'baz'),
      //...
)

A: I think what you're after is actually a two-dimensional array (in which the second dimension has three elements). (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
One of the comments under the documentation of mysql_fetch_array has an answer to this:
(Disclamer: This code is unnecessarily verbose. I prefer not changing it though as I have copied it from the above web-page. For improvements, I refer to the comments.)
<?php
function mysql_fetch_rowsarr($result, $numass=MYSQL_BOTH) {
  $i=0;
  $keys=array_keys(mysql_fetch_array($result, $numass));
  mysql_data_seek($result, 0);
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, $numass)) {
      foreach ($keys as $speckey) {
        $got[$i][$speckey]=$row[$speckey];
      }
    $i++;
    }
  return $got;
}
?>

You should then be able to use this function as
<?
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT title,text,date FROM news limit 5");

$arr = mysql_fetch_rowsarr($result);
$row_2_title = $arr[2]['title'];
?>

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10: Verdict
UPDATE: We've now got our hands on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 complete with the Android 2.1 update - lets see if it's any better or whether it's pushed SE further behind the Android pack.
After a disappointing 2009 for Sony Ericsson, with the likes of the Satio failing to live up to its flagship billing, the Swedish-Japanese alliance is back with its first Android proposition - the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.
It's got all the makings of a true classic - a whopping 4-inch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and it's rocking Android with a cool overlay.
In short, since we first heard about it at the tail end of 2009, we've been excited to see if it can be the handset to return Sony Ericsson to the sharp end of the mobile phone game.
It's odd, but given the massive screen on the phone, the first thing you notice when looking at the Xperia X10 is not the screen - on our black review model the main thing is simply how shiny it is.
It's an understated phone, with a sharp, angular design and minimal buttons - in short, it looks like the kind of high-end handset we'd expect from one of the leading mobile manufacturers.
The screen dominates most of the front of the Xperia X10, and there are three buttons at the bottom, denoted as menu, home and back. (Albeit with some indecipherable symbols - what's wrong with actually writing 'Menu' and 'Home' on there?)
Between each of the front buttons there's a little LED, which glows brightly whenever the phone is used - a nice touch that adds a premium feel, although they can get a little annoying, especially in the dark - and it seems there's no way to turn them off.
The rest of the phone is pretty sparse - compared to the likes of the Sony Ericsson Satio and Vivaz, it's a little odd to only see a single camera shutter button on the right-hand side of the phone, with the volume up/down key above it at the other end.
On the top of the phone, there's the 3.5mm headphone jack, flush to the chassis, and the on/off button, which doubles as the lock key too.
It's a little far away from where you usually rest your hand, so you'll generally find yourself using your other hand to activate it - which is a little irritating.
The microUSB slot is located at the top as well under a dust cap - this is a little awkward to get off at times, and has a frustratingly short leash to keep it in place - meaning you have to really wedge it out of the way to connect up the charger.
There's nothing at all on the left-hand side of the Xperia X10, nor on the bottom, save a little grille to attach a lanyard if you're one of those that sees a big mobile as an ideal replacement for a necklace.
The back of the phone is slightly curved - we assume this is another corollary of the ergonomics study conducted by Sony Ericsson which led to the 'human curvature' of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz.
It does make it slightly nicer to hold in the hand admittedly - but it adds a lot of thickness to the device, which is 13mm.
When you consider the HTC HD2, which has a much larger 4.3-inch screen, is a couple of millimetres thinner at 11mm, it does make something of a difference with a device this size.
Overall though, it's not the worst looking phone in the world by a long way - it certainly doesn't overpower your hand when you're holding it, and the screen looks lovely and bright in use, without being dominated by the chassis.
Sony Ericsson usually chucks in everything it can find into the boxes of its phones, but with the Xperia X10 things are a little more minimalist.
Like HTC and Apple, the box for the X10 is coffin-like, with only basic cables inside.
The environmentally friendly idea of offering a microUSB cable with plug adaptor saves on needing an extra charger, but does get irritating when you keep having to go off and find the lead when transferring content.
Of course, it's probably easier to just perform the latter task by just connecting a memory card and transferring content that way - especially when you get an 8GB card in the box and Android is set up to connect up to your PC and easily copy content across.

Fed's Fisher: "Too-Big-To-Fail Regulation Should Be Written By A Sixth-Grader"
QE "is not a Buzz Lightyear policy," Dallas Fed's Fisher explains to Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle, "this will not go on forever." He admits there are limits to their (and implicitly the ECB or BoJ) policies – "we just have to figure out what they are." The always outspoken fed head goes on to explain why he believes the Fed's policy should be "dialed back… Not go from wild turkey, the liquor by the way, to cold turkey; but certainly slowing it down now." The too-big-to-fail banks are absolutely gaining from a substantial cost-of-funding advantage (over smaller banks) with their implicit government guarantee and Fisher expresses disappointment in the reams of pages that constitute new regulation adding that he would prefer "a simple statement saying they understand there is no government guarantee… It could be written by a sixth grader," as Dodd-Frank "needs repair." His fears are exacerbated by Cyprus as he notes, "[in Cyprus] you have an economy that is held hostage by bank failure and institutions that are too big to fail. We cannot let that happen in the U.S. ever again and the American people will not tolerate it."
Fisher on whether the BOJ's move puts the ECB or the Fed in a corner where they'll have to continue QE in order to stay on par:
The rates are already very low in Japan. I think people will want to wait and see how successful the program really is. Does it put pressure on us to continue? No, we have to conduct monetary policy according to what we feel is best to get our economy moving.
There has a consensus on the table to pursue along these lines of quantitative easing. I have voted and spoken against it. There is no QE infinity. I have never heard an argument at the table from anybody that we will take the Fed's balance sheet to $5 million or whatever number. We already have a very active program. The chairman spoke about this at his press conference. We have to judge the efficacy of what we're doing and either dial it back or dial it up a little bit. This will not go on forever and ever.
It is not a Buzz Lightyear policy. Neither we nor the ECB nor anyone else can follow that because there are limits and we just have to figure out what those limits are."
On whether he believes that QE, up until a certain point, was a success:
"I can only speak for myself, not my colleagues. I was in favor of the first tranche of mortgage-backed securities purchases. I am not in favor of continuing that process. I think we have to dial it back. Not go from wild turkey, the liquor by the way, to cold turkey. Certainly slowing it down now. I wasn't in favor of the second tranche. The housing market has come back significantly… We've seen a resurrection in that market and I think Fed policy was very helpful. I'm only giving my position. I think we need to dial that program back. That worked. And it is clearly working from the standpoint of driving up the stock market. It is not yet clear that this has been what has been regenerated, employment to robust degree that we would like to see. It has not happened yet. Corporations have clearly refinanced their balance sheets. Our businesses from a financial standpoint are lean and mean and ripped and strong. But they are not spending it on hiring people.
They are refinancing their debt, bolstering their balance sheets, making acquisitions, and it is too early to argue whether it has been successful or not, in my opinion. It has certainly helped the federal government, by the way. It has helped the federal government significantly.
We are buying so many treasuries now — and I made this argument a long time before it was enormously unpopular. We have been monetizing the debt, and we continue to do so. At some point, we end up taking it all down. I'm not sure that incents the Congress deal what they have to deal with which is correct our fiscal imbalances. That is what I worry about the most."
On whether he believes that we are subsidizing too-big-to-fail banks right now:
"Absolutely. There is no question about it. There is some debate about what the size of the subsidy is. Bloomberg itself had a long report about being in the $80 billion range. There are numbers higher and less than that. It depends on how you calculate this. I can tell you one thing with certainty. There is a cost of funding advantage and it is substantial. It is unfair. We need to level the playing field. I'm not trying to bust these institutions up.
Our proposal at the Dallas Fed has been very simple: limit the taxpayer's liability to covering the deposit base, and making sure through that government guarantee, which is what we do in this country and only allowing the commercial banking operation of a large complex bank holding company to have access to the discount window.
The rest of their operations would be totally free standing that each counterparty to those operations, whatever the transaction may be, would sign a simple statement saying they understand there is no government guarantee. It would be agreed upon by both sides. We have drafted it up and shown it. It could be written by a sixth grader. It would make clear that no one would expect the government to step in for the risk taken in those areas…Yes, they currently being subsidized…It puts the smaller banking institutions at a competitive disadvantage and that is not the American way."
On why he believes that it's up to Congress, not regulators, to create new incentives so market discipline is restored to the banking industry:
"You are talking about Dodd-Frank, which does not work and in its preamble its outstated purpose was to stop too big to fail because congress makes the laws of the United States. They make the regulations that we as regulators have to follow. And right now, the Federal Reserve and others under the leadership of Dan Tarullo, one of our governors, is doing our absolute best to follow what is prescribed by Dodd-Frank. I'm not a critic of what we're doing. We're doing our very best to follow the law, but regulations have to be made and only Congress can make it."
On whether Dodd-Frank should just be scrapped entirely:
"I would not go that far, but I'd think it needs repair. We have advocated a small repair…All we are trying to do at the Dallas Fed is that we do not want to do this again. Cyprus is a great example, once again, as we saw in Iceland, of banks that jeopardize their entire country. We cannot let that happen. We can deal with this now that our financial institutions have been restored and the economy is moving forward. We're not a crisis situation like we were before. And to be fair to Dodd-Frank, it was forged in the crucible of a crisis."
On whether he's likening the situation in Cyprus to the situation that the U.S. could face if Dodd-Frank isn't repaired:
"No, I'm not. I'm saying that to solve a problem during a crisis is a lot harder than when you're on a level plane. That's where we are right now thanks to Fed policy and other actions that have been taken. We can deal with this now. There is bipartisan accord that too big to fail has not been solved. There is bipartisan agreement, and even the attorney general admitted he is afraid to prosecute these large institutions for whatever their misdeeds are because it might create economic damage. The problems are still there. Now that we are in economic recovery, we can deal with the problem. It is a different situation. The reason I mention Cyprus is because you have an economy that is held hostage by bank failure and institutions that are too big to fail. We cannot let that happen in the U.S. ever again and the American people will not tolerate it, so let's solve it."

Pop Culture in the Time of Coronavirus and Quarantine
During Sydney McCall's free time, she watches Tik Toks that includes her interests of fishing and country music.
Kiara Johnston, Staff
Social media and streaming platforms have some place in a lot of people's lives, and with the pandemic disrupting many aspects of how we live and having almost 5 months off from school, some people saw their social media usage skyrocket.
One extremely popular app among Gen Z and Millennials is Tik Tok, an app where users can do dances, perform skits, or involve themselves in political discourse, all packed into a 60 second video. In 2020, Tik Tok saw their usage go up 200% since 2019, where it increased 100% from 2018. Senior Olivia Crawn says she started using Tik Tok in July of 2019, but her usage substantially increased when school got out in March and the country really started to feel the impact of COVID 19. When Olivia first downloaded Tik Tok, she only watched videos instead of creating them, but when she started gaining followers, she started to create her own content. With an impressive 66,500 followers, Olivia hopes to continue to grow her follower count, and hopefully use that as a platform to start a Youtube channel when she graduates. By starting this channel, she hopes to earn money by doing what she loves: making people around the country laugh and gain enjoyment from her creativity. When asked why she enjoys using Tik Tok, senior Sydney McCall said, "I enjoy using Tik Tok because I like what pops up on my "For You" page, which includes fishing, country boys, and country music." In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has announced his plans of banning the app, citing concerns of inadequate security from the Chinese app. The opposing side says the security risks are no more substantial than other apps like Facebook and Instagram; nonetheless, President Trump stands by his decision to sign an executive order banning the app in September if it is not bought by an American company.
Another area of Internet usage that gained popularity was streaming services that include Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon. An "Invoke" online study found that 75% of respondents said their usage of streaming services surged during the pandemic. One docuseries that captured much of the sports world was "The Last Dance," which focused on basketball player Michael Jordan's early life and his great career in the NBA. Noah Johnston, a senior of Twin Lakes, watched the series in late July when it came out on Netflix. He says he watched it to see if he was the best of all time, but still holds the opinion that it is in fact, Lebron James. When asked whether he liked it, he said he did because he learned untold stories and facts about Michael Jordan's life and career. Jenna Swaim watched the T.V. series "Sweet Magnolias" on Netflix in mid-June, and said she liked the show because it is "sweet and cute."
While recent times of illness, uncertainty, and divisive politics have shaken many people in the country and even the world, many people find comfort in funny videos or shows about tigers or vampires. These platforms can play a huge part in how we think and act, and while many underestimate the power and influence of social media, it has changed lives, warped opinions, and completely transformed how people think of the world. While it has its downsides and adverse effects, in many ways social media allows for people to come together and find what they have in common. Movie or T.V. show streaming services have also provided people comfort in these very trying times. Depending on how they are used, these platforms can have a very negative or very positive impact on our world.
Kiara Johnston is a senior and has gone to Twin Lakes her entire life. Outside of school she works, watches Netflix, or sleeps. Occasionally she also likes...

Global climate variability affects important local hydro-meteorological variables like precipitation and temperature. The Southern Oscillation (SO) is an easily quantifiable major driving force that gives impact on regional and local climate. The relationships between SO and local climate variation are, however, characterized by strongly nonlinear processes. Due to t...


Sarilumab is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist which binds to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6 receptors. Endogenous IL-6 is induced by inflammatory stimuli and mediates a variety of immunological responses. IL-6 produced by synovial and endothelial cells leads to local production of IL-6 in joints affected by inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis. Inhibition of IL-6 receptors by sarilumab leads to a reduction in CRP levels.
Elimination is predominantly through the linear, non-saturable proteolytic pathway at high concentrations; at lower concentrations, elimination is predominately through non-linear saturable target-mediated pathway.
There was a trend toward higher apparent clearance of sarilumab in the presence of anti-sarilumab antibodies.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adults who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
Note: Do not initiate if ANC is <2,000/mm3, platelets are <150,000/mm3 or if ALT or AST are >1.5 times ULN.
Rheumatoid arthritis: SubQ: 200 mg once every 2 weeks. Note: May use as monotherapy or in combination with nonbiologic DMARDs. Do not use in combination with biologic DMARDs.
ANC >1,000/mm3: No dosage adjustment necessary.
ANC 500 to 1,000/mm3: Interrupt therapy; when ANC >1,000/mm3, resume at 150 mg once every 2 weeks (may increase to 200 mg once every 2 weeks as clinically appropriate).
Platelets 50,000 to 100,000/mm3: Interrupt therapy; when platelet count is >100,000/mm3, resume at 150 mg once every 2 weeks (may increase to 200 mg once every 2 weeks as clinically appropriate).
Platelets <50,000/mm3: If confirmed by repeat testing, discontinue.
Hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis or other clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction): Stop immediately and discontinue permanently.
Infection (serious): Interrupt treatment until the infection is controlled.
SubQ: Administer subcutaneously. Rotate injection sites; may inject into the thigh, abdomen (avoiding the 2-inch area around the navel), or outer area of upper arm. Allow prefilled syringe and prefilled pen to sit at room temperature for 30 or 60 minutes, respectively, prior to use; do not warm in any other way. Solution should be clear and colorless to pale yellow; do not shake. Administer the full amount in the prefilled syringe or prefilled pen; do not administer if window on pen is solid yellow (indicates pen has been used). Do not inject into skin that is tender, damaged, or has bruises or scars.
Store at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) in original carton to protect from light. Do not freeze or shake. May store at ≤25°C (77°F) for ≤14 days. Do not store at >25°C (77°F). After removal from the refrigerator, use within 14 days or discard.
Patients treated with sarilumab are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Opportunistic infections have also been reported in patients receiving sarilumab. Most patients who developed infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.
Avoid use of sarilumab in patients with an active infection.
- Active tuberculosis, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent tuberculosis before sarilumab use and during therapy. Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to sarilumab use.
- Invasive fungal infections, such as candidiasis, and pneumocystis. Patients with invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease.
- Bacterial, viral and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens.
Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection during treatment with sarilumab. If a serious infection develops, interrupt sarilumab until the infection is controlled.
Consider the risks and benefits of treatment with sarilumab prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection.
• GI perforation: Has been reported, typically secondary to diverticulitis or concomitant use of NSAIDs or corticosteroid therapy. Monitor for new-onset abdominal symptoms.
• Hematologic effects: Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia may occur; may require treatment interruption, dose modification, or discontinuation. Monitor neutrophils and platelets. Do not initiate treatment in patients with an ANC <2,000/mm3 or platelet count <150,000/mm3; discontinue treatment for ANC <500/mm3 or platelet count <50,000/mm3.
• Hepatotoxicity: Sarilumab is associated with transaminase elevations; monitor liver function tests prior to therapy initiation and during treatment. Do not initiate treatment in patients who have ALT or AST >1.5 x ULN; discontinue treatment for ALT >5 x ULN. Transaminase elevations are typically reversible and generally do not result in clinically evident hepatic injury; patients receiving concomitant hepatotoxic drugs (eg, methotrexate) are at an increased risk of developing elevated transaminases.
• Hyperlipidemia: Therapy is associated with increases in triglycerides, LDL, and/or HDL; monitor lipids approximately 4 to 8 weeks after initiation, then approximately every 6 months.
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions such as injection-site rash, rash, and urticaria have been reported. Patients should seek medical attention if symptoms of hypersensitivity reaction occur. Stop administration immediately in patients who develop anaphylaxis or other hypersensitivity reaction to sarilumab.
• Infection: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious and potentially fatal infections (including active tuberculosis, invasive fungal, bacterial, viral, and other opportunistic infections) have been reported in patients receiving sarilumab. Most of the serious infections have occurred in patients on concomitant immunosuppressive therapy. Closely monitor patients for signs/symptoms of infection during treatment. If serious infection develops, withhold sarilumab until infection is controlled. Prior to treatment initiation, carefully consider risk versus benefit in patients with chronic or recurrent infections, tuberculosis exposure, history of or current opportunistic infection, underlying conditions predisposing to infection, or patients residing in or with travel to areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycosis. The most common serious infections occurring have included pneumonia and cellulitis; opportunistic infections reported have included tuberculosis, candidiasis, and pneumocystis. Patients may present with disseminated infection. Do not administer sarilumab to a patient with an active infection, including localized infection.
• Malignancy: Use of sarilumab may increase malignancy risk; impact on the development and course of malignancies is not fully defined; however, malignancies were observed in clinical trials.
• Tuberculosis: [US Boxed Warning]: Tuberculosis (TB) (pulmonary or extrapulmonary) has been reported in patients receiving sarilumab; both reactivation of latent infection and new infections have been reported. Evaluate patients for TB risk factors and test for latent infection prior to initiating treatment. Treat patients with latent TB before initiating sarilumab; consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of sarilumab in patients with a history of latent or active TB if adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with risk factors for TB despite a negative test. Some patients who test negative prior to therapy may develop active infection; monitor for signs and symptoms of TB during and after treatment in all patients.
• Viral reactivation: Viral reactivation has been observed with immunosuppressive biologic therapy. Herpes zoster has been reported in patients receiving sarilumab. The risk for hepatitis B reactivation with sarilumab therapy is unknown; monitor for signs/symptoms of viral reactivation.
• Hepatic impairment: Use is not recommended in patients with active hepatic disease or hepatic impairment.
• Elderly: Infection has been reported at a higher incidence in elderly patients compared with younger adults; use with caution in elderly patients.
• Immunizations: Patients should be up to date with all immunizations before initiating sarilumab therapy. Avoid concurrent use of live vaccines. No data is available concerning secondary transmission of infection from patients receiving live vaccines to patients receiving sarilumab.
Latent TB screening prior to therapy initiation; neutrophils, platelets, ALT/AST (prior to therapy, 4 to 8 weeks after start of therapy, and every 3 months thereafter); additional liver function tests (eg, bilirubin) as clinically indicated; lipid panel (4 to 8 weeks following initiation and approximately every 6 months during therapy); signs/symptoms of infection (prior to, during, and after therapy), hypersensitivity reaction, and GI perforation.
As pregnancy progresses, monoclonal antibodies are increasingly transported across the placenta, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester. Based on animal data and the mechanism of action, maternal use of sarilumab may delay parturition.
Immune response in infants exposed to sarilumab in utero may be affected. Consider risks/benefits prior to administering live or live-attenuated vaccines to infants exposed to sarilumab during pregnancy.
A pregnancy registry has been established to monitor outcomes of women exposed to sarilumab during pregnancy. Health care providers or pregnant patients are encouraged to register (877-311-8972).
• Patient may experience injection site irritation, common cold symptoms, rhinitis, rhinorrhea, or pharyngitis. Have patient report immediately to prescriber signs of a urinary tract infection (hematuria, burning or painful urination, polyuria, fever, lower abdominal pain, or pelvic pain); weight loss; diarrhea; severe loss of strength and energy; bruising; bleeding; signs of infection; severe abdominal pain; vomiting blood; black, tarry, or bloody stools; shortness of breath; angina; dizziness; passing out; skin sores; sweating a lot; muscle pain; or muscle weakness (HCAHPS).

Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 in Malvern Link. Over the next 25 years, it built three-wheeled vehicles with one rear drive wheel.
Meaning and History
Studying the company logo, it is hard not to mention that the very first brand logo was used by the company for almost a century (from 1909 to 2008).
The company logo consisted of a circle, inside which there was a vertical rectangle, perpendicular to which was another rectangle with the name of the company in white. Wings were depicted on both sides of the circle. The logo was done in white and blue colors.
In 2008, the winged logo became more modern and is now three-dimensional. Under the logo is the inscription "Morgan Motor Company". The main colors are silver and blue.
Emblem and Symbol
The emblem is depicted in gray and different shades of blue color, which symbolizes the freedom, purity and excellence of the company.

This is an original authentic Deep Red T-Shirt from the infamous Profondo Rosso store in Rome, Italy.
This shirt graphic features an adaptation of the Profondo Rosso poster artwork with the font usage from the storefront in Rome, Italy. Not sure if this design is offered any longer in the store, but we loved it when we visited a few years back. This amazing store is run by director Luigi Cozzi, an amazingly nice man, who also worked as second-unit and assistant director on many of Dario Argento's finest films. In fact, the downstairs of his store features a museum dedicated to Argento and includes an incredible array of props and set pieces from many of his eurohorror masterpieces. Back to the tee. Sad story actually. The size is indicated as a large, but after washing it once, it shrunk to a medium. This is a nice tee with only some minor wear from a few washings due to age and use.
