I guess it had to come sooner or later, I'll be damned if I wasn't blocking the idea from my mind though.
Ebert was half the reason I got so passionate about cinema as I did, maybe there were a few times I didn't agree with his reviews, but he has always been one of the most passionate and intense critics in film history. A smart man with an eye for cinema down to it's finest details.
I remember waiting anxiously to see Ebert's "At The Movies" when there would be a broadcast episode posted up online, I'd even go out of my way to see all the old shows with Gene Siskel I missed as a child.
Rest In Peace Roger Ebert, you shall be missed.

I was sad to see that, he was one of the few critics I'd actually listen to.

Sometimes when 'celebrity' deaths are in the news it makes you shake your head and say who the fuck cares about this?
Then there are times like this where someone passes and the world is worse of for losing that person. RIP.

Was very sad to hear this, I felt the same way with Gene Siskel, Grew up watching At the Movies or Sneak Previews. Always felt they were fair and took movies for what they were…i.e not every movie was intended to be Sophies Choice. Used to love when they would argue…
Hopefully they are watching their favorite flicks together up in heaven!

Aww Shit. Why am I feeling sad about this? I had a love/hate relationship with him.
RIP, old fart.

R.I.P Mr Ebert

Posting this hilarious review of Rob Reiner's North by Ebert that Cracked just put up in one of their articles. It's delightful how much he hated it.

""Battlefield Earth" is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way. The visuals are grubby and drab. The characters are unkempt and have rotten teeth. Breathing tubes hang from their noses like ropes of snot. The soundtrack sounds like the boom mike is being slammed against the inside of a 55-gallon drum. The plot. . . .
But let me catch my breath. This movie is awful in so many different ways. Even the opening titles are cheesy. Sci-fi epics usually begin with a stab at impressive titles, but this one just displays green letters on the screen in a type font that came with my Macintosh. Then the movie's subtitle unscrolls from left to right in the kind of "effect" you see in home movies.
"Battlefield Earth" was written in 1980 by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. The film contains no evidence of Scientology or any other system of thought; it is shapeless and senseless, without a compelling plot or characters we care for in the slightest. The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why.
Some movies run off the rails. This one is like the train crash in "The Fugitive." I watched it in mounting gloom, realizing I was witnessing something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies. There is a moment here when the Psychlos' entire planet (home office and all) is blown to smithereens, without the slightest impact on any member of the audience (or, for that matter, the cast). If the film had been destroyed in a similar cataclysm, there might have been a standing ovation."
"It's been leading up to this all spring. When David Spade got buried in crap in "Joe Dirt," and when three supermodels got buried in crap in "Head Over Heels," and when human organs fell from a hot-air balloon in "Monkeybone" and were eaten by dogs, and when David Arquette rolled around in dog crap and a gangster had his testicles bitten off in "See Spot Run," and when a testicle was eaten in "Tomcats," well, somehow the handwriting was on the wall. There had to be a movie like "Freddy Got Fingered" coming along.
This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.
The film is a vomitorium consisting of 93 minutes of Tom Green doing things that a geek in a carnival sideshow would turn down. Six minutes into the film, his character leaps from his car to wag a horse penis. This is, we discover, a framing device–to be matched by a scene late in the film where he sprays his father with elephant semen, straight from the source.
Green plays Gord Brody, a 28-year-old who lives at home with his father (Rip Torn), who despises him, and his mother (Julie Hagerty), who wrings her hands a lot. He lives in a basement room still stocked with his high school stuff, draws cartoons and dreams of becoming an animator. Gord would exhaust a psychiatrist's list of diagnoses. He is unsocialized, hostile, manic and apparently retarded. Retarded? How else to explain a sequence in which a Hollywood animator tells him to "get inside his animals," and he skins a stag and prances around dressed in the coat, covered with blood? His romantic interest is Betty (Marisa Coughlan), who is disabled and dreams of rocket-powered wheelchairs and oral sex. A different kind of sexual behavior enters the life of his brother Freddy, who gets the movie named after him just because, I suppose, Tom Green thought the title was funny. His character also thinks it is funny to falsely accuse his father of molesting Freddy.
Green's sense of humor may not resemble yours. Consider a scene where Gord's best friend busts his knee open while skateboarding. Gord licks the open wound. Then he visits his friend in the hospital. A woman in the next bed goes into labor. Gord rips the baby from her womb and, when it appears to be dead, brings it to life by swinging it around his head by its umbilical cord, spraying the walls with blood. If you wanted that to be a surprise, then I'm sorry I spoiled it for you."

Every time I read one of those reviews it warms my heart, I love how he never put himself on a pedestal above everyone else and he was humble enough to take into account each and every opinion of his fans and let them help form his own. He's the kind of funny old man I wish could have been my grandpa growing up, the kind of person you could sit in with every night and talk for hours about a single great scene and never get tired of it.
Tirelessly fought his cancer for eleven years, even losing part of his jaw and his ability to speak, yet throughout all that he persevered so he could continue doing the thing he loves and continue being an inspiration to all the film lovers that spent their lives looking up to the kind of brilliance that he exuded.
I shall take the rest of the night to watch Citizen Kane, in memory of Roger Ebert. See you at the movies, Roger.
optheta April 5, 2013, 10:00pm #13
I love the fact that he went back to older movies he gave a thumbs down and admitted he made a error, i.e. Blade Runner.

That's part of what made him so great as a critic in my eyes, he was still humble enough to admit looking back on his past reviews and thinking his own earlier writings were that of a bumbling idiot. There's not a lot of people whose job is judging another person's work that are able to display such an admirable trait, especially one so popular and whose ideas are accepted as graciously as Ebert's.
Karado April 5, 2013, 10:27pm #16
R.I.P. Roger Ebert. I'm glad Ebert retracted on BLADE RUNNER, but IMHO he was wrong
not recommending FULL METAL JACKET, and Gene Siskel was right back then, because FMJ is considered a classic
now as well.
[quote]Karado wrote:
I love how riled up Ebert got when he was arguing with Siskel, it's incredibly satisfying to see them bicker back and forth like that.
I think Ebert definitely went off the rails on that review of Full Metal Jacket, I kind of wish it had come out a while apart from Platoon so Ebert's opinion wasn't so clouded on the contrasts between the films, and he could admire the humour in Full Metal Jacket without feeling like it wasn't taking itself seriously enough overall.

This is something I wrote elsewhere. This really sucks.
Ah crap.
Some people do not agree with me, but he was my favorite movie critic, and one of the best we have. A great writer, screenwriter, a true film scholar, a promoter of movies that otherwise would not ever have been seen, and someone whose reviews I hardly ever, ever found anything but the heartiest agreement with. I knew it was probably the end when he took a "break" from reviewing for "physical therapy" about two months ago, but I wanted to believe that was really the truth. Looks like I was, very unfortunately, right.
Two thumbs up from me for a lifetime of dedication to our modern fine art. You will be sorely missed, Roger Ebert. May God see your soul to heaven.
You should appreciate him. He always spoke his mind and said exactly what he believed, popular or unpopular.
No facetiousness implied. He was by FAR my favorite critic and will be sorely, sorely missed.
This one hurts a lot more than usual.


The Downey Cemetery is filled with white crosses and flags today, marking the graves of the service men and women who are buried there.
As always, the grave markers say so little and yet so much. Tony Gomez was born at the end of one world war, and served in the next one. He died just two days before the Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany. Russell Mackay was a cook in World War I and made it home to live a full life.
Take a moment tomorrow to remember and be grateful to those who have served our country.
Beautiful tribute.. Thank you for remembering and honoring veterans on Memorial Day!

Carole Ferraud has worked in education since 1981 as both a teacher and administrator. Her education career has spanned K through 12, and her administrative experience includes site, district and county level positions. Her area of expertise has been in the field of curriculum and instruction; she has provided C&I support to multiple school districts, each experiencing significant increases in student achievement.
As the Regional Administrator for the Riverside County Office of Education, Carole was part of the inaugural team that developed Riverside County Achievement Team (RCAT) and served as the lead in the desert region. RCAT worked with low performing schools to identify barriers to student achievement and develop action plans to successfully address those barriers.
Carole opened a new middle school in the Desert Sands Unified School District (John Glenn Middle School of International Studies) and served as the principal at that school for three years. Under her leadership John Glenn Middle School became a fully authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) in July of 2004 and was recognized as a State and National "School to Watch". John Glenn Middle School was recognized as a National Magnet School of Distinction and also earned prestigious recognition as a National AVID Demonstration School.
Carole served as the Assistant Superintendent for Educational Services in Desert Sands Unified School District and in that role established a systemic process for increasing student achievement and a focus on building internal capacity. The district was able to make significant achievement gains at all levels including exiting multiple schools from Program Improvement.
In January of 2006, Carole was selected as the Superintendent of Bear Valley Unified School District (BVUSD). During her tenure in BVUSD, student achievement increased significantly to include four of seven schools reaching the state goal of 800 or better on the API, and all other schools close to the 800 goal. The district was not in Program Improvement or at risk of Program Improvement. A focus on building internal capacity and carefully monitoring contributed to increased student achievement.
Carole has been twice recognized as Administrator of the Year in Desert Sands Unified School District and was named Principal of the Year for Riverside County Office of Education. She holds a Bachelor Degree in Child Development and Master's Degree in Education/Counseling.

SOS Children's Villages works in 136 countries and territories around the world
SOS Children's Village Maputo
In some ways, life is easier in the city, where commodity goods, education and health care are more readily available. In other ways, however, being poor in the capital city makes for an extremely tough life where daily survival can become a real struggle.
Food insecurity continues to affect thousands of families
SOS Children's Village Maputo ensures that children go to school and grow up healthily in an SOS family (photo: SOS archives)
Maputo is the capital city of Mozambique and has a population of roughly 1.5 million. Although Maputo has modern amenities to offer and its infrastructure is constantly being expanded, the majority of the city's inhabitants live in slums.
Poverty in Maputo has fluctuated in recent years due to variations in global food and fuel prices, as well as weather shocks. In recent years, government social programmes have brought improvements to overall living conditions. However, struggling families in Maputo generally live in extremely dense and overcrowded conditions, where social tension and conflicts run high.
Although access to education and health care is better in Maputo than in rural areas, food is often limited. As growing one's own food is not a viable option in an urban context, people here are heavily reliant on a cash income, which is hard to secure without a formal, salaried job. Life is thus marked by insecurity and vulnerability to external factors. The difficult access to nutritious foods leads to higher levels of malnutrition, especially in children under the age of five. Nutritional deficiencies in childhood can seriously hinder healthy growth and development.
In Maputo, thousands of families live in slums, where infrastructure such as water, sanitation or electricity is not available. The slums keep on growing as more and more people migrate to the city, and conditions deteriorate. The inequality of wealth distribution is highly visible in Maputo, and children from poor families easily feel marginalised or stigmatised by their inferior status in society.
Sustainable and holistic support for the community
SOS Children's Villages began its work in Maputo in 1992. Today, the SOS Social Centre here provides a family strengthening programme to members of the local community, ensuring that children have access to essential educational, nutritional and health services. It provides assistance to families affected by HIV/AIDS, for example through counselling services and medical care. The centre also supports several community kindergartens, and it runs nutrition programmes and a school placement programme. We also offer parents guidance on professional skills and income generating activities, as well as psycho-social support.
What we do in Maputo

Family-based care: For children from the region who are no longer able to live with their parents, 15 SOS families can provide a loving home for up to 165 children. In each family, they live with their brothers and sisters and are affectionately cared for by their SOS mother.
Education: The children attend the SOS Kindergarten together with local children from the community. They then go on to complete their primary and secondary education at the SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools. Over 1200 pupils from the children's village and the neighbourhood attend the school, making it an important educational institution in the region.
Support for young people: When young people from the children's village are ready to move out of the family home in order to pursue further education or training, the SOS Youth Programme provides shared accommodation. With the support of qualified counsellors, the young adults learn to take responsibility, plan their future and prepare for independent life.

Taliban says it has the 'same stance' on negotiations after Trump talks cease-fire
By Rachel Frazin - 11/30/19 04:58 PM EST
The Taliban has said that it is ready for peace talks with the U.S. but also said that its position is the same as it was when talks were canceled in September, after President Trump Donald John TrumpRouhani says Iran will never seek nuclear weapons Trump downplays seriousness of injuries in Iran attack after US soldiers treated for concussions Trump says Bloomberg is 'wasting his money' on 2020 campaign MORE said the militant group wants a cease-fire.
Before the talks collapsed, the U.S. and Taliban were poised to sign a draft agreement saying that a possible cease-fire would be determined by later negotiations with Afghanistan's government, according to The Washington Post.
The Taliban told the Post in a statement that this has not changed.
"We are ready to talk, but we have the same stance to resume the talks from where it was suspended," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.
A spokesperson for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani told the newspaper that Trump's trip to Afghanistan this week was "important" but that "we will have to see" whether it changed anything.
"It is too early to comment on any changes or any perceived changes," said spokesman Sediq Seddiqi.
A senior administration official told The Post that they are "restarting talks" with the Taliban.
"If an agreement can be reached, the two sides could potentially expand the talks and pave the way for signing a peace agreement," the person said.
President Trump in September called off negotiations with the Taliban and Afghanistan after the Taliban claimed an attack in Kabul that killed 11 civilians and a U.S. service member.
Earlier this month, an American, an Australian and three Taliban members were freed in a prisoner swap.

The first guideline urges that family members learn to recognize the signs or signals of OCD.
Large blocks of unexplained time that the person is spending alone (in the bathroom, getting dressed, doing homework, etc.).
Doing things again and again (repetitive behaviours).
Constant questioning of self-judgment; excessive need for reassurance.
Simple tasks taking longer than usual.
Increased concern for minor things and details.
Severe and extreme emotional reactions to small things.
Staying up late to get things done.
Significant change in eating habits.
Daily life becomes a struggle.
People with OCD usually report that their symptoms get worse the more they are criticized or blamed, because these emotions generate more anxiety. So, it is essential that you learn to view these features as signals of OCD and not as personality traits. This way, you can join the person with OCD to tackle the symptoms rather than become alienated from them.
There is a wide variation in the severity of OC symptoms between individuals. Remember to measure progress according to the individual's own level of functioning, not to that of yours or others. Just as there is a wide variation between individuals regarding the severity of their OCD symptoms, there is also wide variation in how people recover. Be patient. Slow, gradual improvement may be better in the end to prevent relapse.
People with OCD often complain that family members don't understand what it takes to accomplish something such as cutting down a shower by five minutes or resisting asking for reassurance one more time. While these gains may seem insignificant to family members, it is a very big step for your loved one. Acknowledgment of these seemingly small accomplishments is a powerful tool that encourages them to keep trying. This lets them know that their hard work to get better is being recognized and can be a powerful motivator.
Try to learn as much about OCD as you can. Understanding the disorder can help you avoid personal criticism and focus on the symptoms rather than the individual. Your family member still needs your encouragement and your acceptance as a person, but remember that acceptance and support does not mean ignoring the compulsive behaviour. Gang up on the OCD not on each other!
4) How much the compulsions infringe upon others' lives.
It is commonly reported by individuals with OCD that mood dictates the degree to which they can divert obsessions and resist compulsions. Likewise, family members have commented that they can tell when someone with OCD is "having a bad day." Those are the times when family may need to "back off," unless there is potential for a life-threatening or violent situation. On "good days," individuals should be encouraged to resist compulsions as much as possible. Limit setting works best when these expectations are discussed ahead of time and not in the middle of a conflict.
All medications have side effects that range in severity. Ask your family member if you could periodically attend their appointments with the prescribing physician. In this way you can ask questions, learn about side effects, and report any behavioural changes that you notice.
Avoid lengthy explanations, rationales, and debates. This is often easier said than done, because most people with OCD constantly ask those around them for reassurance: "Are you sure I locked the door?" or "Did I really clean well enough?" Tolerating this uncertainty is an exposure for the individual with OCD and it may be tough. Recognize that the person with OCD is triggered by doubt, label the problem as one of trying to gain total certainty about something that cannot be provided; this is the essence of OCD and the goal is to accept uncertainty in life.
Family members often have the natural tendency to protect their loved one by caretaking all the time. This can be destructive because family members need their private time and opportunities for self-care practices too. Empower your loved one by fostering self-efficacy, give them the message that they can care for themselves. Engaging in your own self-care practices is also great role modelling for the person with the OCD.
Whether it is about asking and providing reassurance to the family member with OCD or talking about the desperation and anxiety that the illness causes, families struggle with the challenge of engaging in conversations that are "symptom free," an experience that feels liberating when achieved. We have found that it is often difficult for family members to stop engaging in conversations around the anxiety because it has become a habit and such a central part of their life. It is okay not to ask, "How is your OCD today?" Some limits on talking about OCD and the various worries is an important part of establishing a more normative routine.
Often families ask how to undo all of the effects of months or years of succumbing to their loved one's OCD symptoms. For example, to "keep the peace" a husband allowed his wife's contamination fear to prohibit their children from having any friends into the household. An initial attempt to avoid conflict by giving in just grows; however, obsessions and compulsions need to be contained. It is important that children have friends in their home or that family members use any sink; sit on any chair, etc. Through negotiation and limit setting, family life and routines can be preserved. Remember, it is in the individual's best interest to tolerate the exposure to their fears and to be reminded of others' needs. As they begin to regain function, their wish to do more increases.
Firstly, there needs to be an agreement between all parties that it is in everyone's best interest for family members to not participate in rituals (Family Accommodation Behaviours). However, in this effort to help your loved one reduce compulsive behaviour, conflicts can arise as you could be perceived as being mean or rejecting even though you are trying to be helpful. It may seem obvious that family members and individuals with OCD are working toward the common goal of symptom reduction, but the ways in which people do this varies. Attending a family educational support group for OCD or seeing a family therapist with expertise in OCD can often facilitate family communication.
The primary objective of a family contract is to get family members and individuals with OCD to work together to develop realistic plans for managing OCD symptoms. Creating goals as a team reduces conflict, preserves the household, and provides a platform for families to begin to "take back" the household in situations where most routines and activities have been dictated by an individual's OCD. By improving communication and developing a greater understanding of each other's perspective, it is easier for the individual to have family members help them to reduce OCD symptoms. It is essential that all goals are clearly defined, understood, and agreed upon by all family members involved with carrying out the tasks in the contract. Some families are able to develop a contract by themselves, while most need some professional guidance and instruction. Be sure to reach out for professional assistance if you think that you could benefit from it.

Oppo Enco W31: Punchy Bass, Balanced Audio on Budget
七月 21, 2020
|In Reviews
|By Ritesh Bendre
As more and more smartphone brands are removing the legacy 3.5mm headphone jack, the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) market is booming globally. Apple dominates this segment with the $100 and above price point. But smartphone brands like Xiaomi, Oppo and Realme are catering to the sub-$100 segment, making the TWS earphones accessible to more users. Oppo recently launched the Enco W31 TWS earphones in emerging markets like India for about $60. At this price, the Enco W31 brings Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with low latency transmission and IP54 rating, among other features. But do they sound as good as the price? Will they be able to break into bigger TWS markets such as UK and USA?
Elegant Design, Comfortable Fit
Oppo has paid attention to the finer details in designing the Enco W31. But there are some misses too. Starting with the case, it is small, compact and has a pebble-shaped design that is lightweight and easy to carry in your pocket.
The case has a nice soft-matte finish to it, which helps to keep smudges and fingerprints at bay. For charging, there is a USB Type-C port that is nicely tucked at the back of the housing, just below the lid.
After opening the lid, you have two earbuds resting on the magnetic charging slots. There is a small pairing button that allows you to put the earbuds in Bluetooth pairing mode. Just above that, there is a small LED to indicate charging and connectivity status.
Sadly, when the lid is closed, the LED is not visible, and you will have to open it from time to time to check the status. While the pairing process with smartphones and laptops is easy, there is an 'Open to Connect' feature that works with supported Oppo phones. Simply open the case, and the phone will detect the earbuds.
Coming to the earbuds, I like the fact that Oppo has gone with the in-ear canal design and not the "one size fits all" in most earbuds (the Apple AirPods, for instance). You get three different silicone tips (small, medium and large) to fit different ear sizes. This way, the earbuds snugly fit in the ears and offer good noise isolation. I have been wearing the earbuds to listen to music or podcasts when working or even when out on long walks. Irrespective of the type of usage, these are comfortable to wear even for long hours of usage.
The Oppo Enco W31 earbuds look elegant and offer a comfortable fit.
Touch Control Options Could Have Been Better
The earbuds have infrared-based sensors for wear detection. So, whenever you are listening to music and you remove the earbud, music playback will stop. Similarly, plugging back in, music will start playing again. Oppo has also added a touch control feature where double tapping on the left earbud lets you switch between Balanced and Bass modes.
Similarly, double tapping on the right earbud lets you skip to the next song, whereas triple tapping on either earbud activates the voice assistant. During my usage, I found the touch control working 70% of the time, provided you tap at the right place. There were times when I triple tapped to invoke the assistant but the song skipped instead as it only registered a double-tap. It was also disappointing to note that Oppo did not add touch control to play/pause or increase/decrease volume.
Good Performance with Punchy Bass
The Oppo Enco W31 earbuds come with 7mm audio drivers capable of producing frequency range between 20Hz and 20kHz. Oppo tuned the audio to highly focus on offering bass output. For transmission, it supports SBC and AAC codes. My primary audio source was the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (AAC codec), playing high-quality music on both Apple Music and Spotify. I listened to songs from different genres, right from pop to hip-hop, EDM and Bollywood too. I also streamed on my phone HD movies and series on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Discovery+.
The audio quality of the Enco W31 pleasantly surprised me, especially considering the price. On Balanced mode, the tuning is more on the flatter side. Mids are balanced, highs are sharp and lows sound good. The mode is perfect when you are casually listening to podcasts and music or watching TV shows. Double tapping on the left earbud activates the 'Bass Mode' and you can instantly notice the difference it makes. It comes handy when listening to House or EDM music, where you want to groove with the tunes.
The Bass mode is also ideal when working out. It gives you extra adrenaline push to enjoy your exercises. You can also turn on the mode when watching action or sci-fi movies where that thumping bass and wider soundstage offer a better movie-watching experience.
The Enco W31 offers loud and crisp audio with thumping bass.
Call quality on the earbuds was also crisp and clear. There is a dual-mic noise cancellation feature, and it works well. Even as I was walking along a noisy road with vehicles passing by and honking, the recipient was able to hear what I was saying. I will not say this is exceptional, but the fact that I did not have to repeat things even in a noisy environment means a win.
Good Battery Life in its Segment
Each earbud of the Enco W31 includes a 25mAh battery, making a total of 50mAh on both. The charging case, on the other hand, comes with a 350mAh battery. Oppo claims that the earbuds can offer a battery life of three-and-a-half hours on a single charge at 50% volume. During my test, even with 100% volume, I was able to get a battery life of around three hours and 20 minutes, which is good. This fast-growing segment is a big opportunity for battery suppliers such as Varta, Samsung SDI, LG Chem and others.
The case can offer up to 15 hours of additional backup, and I was able to get close to three additional charges before the battery on the case drained out. Charging the earbuds takes around an hour and 40 minutes, whereas fully charging the case takes about two-and-a-half hours. If you have a compatible Oppo smartphone, you can also check the individual battery levels for each earbud and the charging case as well.
Conclusion: Good Pair of TWS Earphones on a Budget
For nearly a year and a half, the Samsung Galaxy Buds have been my primary TWS earphones, but they cost around $150. With the Enco W31 priced less than half, I was not expecting the audio quality to be this impressive. But Oppo had me change my mind and proved that good things can come in a small package without breaking the bank.
The IP54 rating for water and sweat resistance means you can wear them when working out or even in mild rains. For those who prefer the in-ear canal over outer-ear design on TWS earphones, the Enco W31 make for a perfect choice. With the successor, Oppo has a good room for improvement to bring gesture support to control volume and add tap to play/pause features, along with more refined audio.

Toyota will invest $1 billion in artificial intelligence with a focus on self-driving cars
By Jason Hahn	 November 7, 2015
Toyota is making a $1 billion bet on artificial intelligence with a particular focus on self-driving cars, expanding on a recent investment in the field. The impetus for the bolder step into an arena populated by the likes of Google, Apple, and Facebook: the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
The big R&D investment by Toyota is a marked change from the Japanese automaker's typically guarded approach to automated driving. Company president Akio Toyoda admitted that the company used to say that it would dive into that space only if a self-driving car could beat humans in a 24-hour race.
"But I changed my mind after I got involved with planning of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (in Tokyo)," he said, adding that it helped him see the need for this technology for the disabled and elderly.
The five-year, $1 billion endeavor will establish its foothold in Silicon Valley and function under the new company Toyota Research Institute. The entity, which will hire about 200 staff, will start with laboratories near Stanford University and MIT, according to The New York Times. Gill Pratt, a former MIT professor and former official at the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), has been named the CEO of the institute.
"We want to create cars that are both safer and incredibly fun to drive," Pratt said. He went on to explain that he envisioned a car equipped with a "guardian angel" in the form of sensors and software to protect human drivers rather than remove them from the picture altogether. This approach is already being tested in Toyota's "Highway Teammate."
"Our initial goals are to: 1) improve safety by continuously decreasing the likelihood that a car will be involved in an accident; 2) make driving accessible to everyone, regardless of ability; and 3) apply Toyota technology used for outdoor mobility to indoor environments, particularly for the support of seniors," Pratt said in Toyota's press release. "We also plan to apply our work more broadly, for example to improve production efficiency and accelerate scientific discovery in materials."
Pratt recently joined Toyota to lead the company's initial plan to invest $50 million over five years in artificial intelligence research.

2016 was a rough year for many in so many different ways. I think the humans all got burnt out by the election process, no matter which side you were on. There were losses of many well known people, some very shocking and all sad.
The pet blogging community had many losses as well. Some of our closest blog friends lost furry family members, some expected because of aging and illness, but others more tragic and unexpected. The truth is, we thought we would be in the former group. When our golden retriever Sheba had her second surgery to remove cancerous lumps in December of 2015, we felt sure she would not make it through the next year with us, and never dared to imagine that she would even be with us this following Christmas and beyond.
What a handsome pair Sheba and her brother Luke are!
I feared our move to a new home might be too stressful for her. We knew we were blessed that she was a trooper for that, and went on to look forward to the "Summer of Sheba". That summer and fall was not without its ups and downs and scares for her health. Once those settled down, we started to have hope that she'd make it to her birthday in October, and then to the holidays, but we didn't really expect that she would.
Then I started to have one more hope, though I wouldn't write a word of it until this new year. You see, each full year since I started this blog (in August of 2012), we lost one of our "crew" members. We lost our golden retriever Moses (Sheba's littermate) in June of 2013 to cancer, suddenly and unexpectedly. In February of 2014 we lost our beagle Kobi, and in May of 2015 our cat Conrad, both to old age. I felt cursed, and with Sheba's cancer progressing, I thought the yearly curse would continue and we would surely lose her in 2016.
What scared me even more was that if that happened, what would 2017 bring? With two more senior girls in the household, beagle Cricket and cat Samantha, would the curse continue to this year?
Our sweet girl Sheba just broke that curse. I figuratively held my breath up until the last minute of 2016, and when we woke the next morning into the new year, here she still was!
We can't deny the fact that Sheba is slowing down lately. Her appetite is not what it was, she no longer eats breakfast and only eats a light supper. She will, thankfully, still take treats throughout the day though. She often comes into the house to lie down before the outside ball games are over, something she never did before. This morning she didn't get up with the other dogs. Cricket was worried, and at first she wouldn't get up either. Then as the Dadz dished out breakfast, Cricket so sweetly came to check on Sheba again.
They have their moments, but these two girls are very close. This photo was from almost 4 years ago.
Sheba was OK, and she did get up a few minutes after that. She will still play with Luke a little bit too, but she hasn't even attempted to destroy the new toys we got. She also seems to be losing her eyesight, at least long distance. She can't see when the ball is being thrown, and in order for her to catch it, we have to get up to within about two feet of her and gently toss it. Yet she'll still head outside every time we go to play, and enjoys herself regardless.
She's always out there playing, no matter how difficult it may be.
It's tough to live with sometimes, seeing her a bit weak or stumbling at times. Mostly it's the not knowing how it will go – will she decline slowly, leading us to have to make that dreaded decision, or will we wake up one morning or get home from work one day and find her gone? I try not to dwell on it, but it's difficult to not think about.
As much as that weighs heavily on us, we still celebrate every day that she is with us. Bless her for fighting so hard to stay here for as long as she can, and for extending those days into the new year; putting an end to my silly, though not unfounded, superstitions. I sometimes think she knows exactly what she's doing.
so glad to hear that Sheba broke the curse!
Just wanted you to know that I chose this post on Sheba from the last Showcase two weeks ago as one of my featured posts for this Showcase. I included this post as a memorial to your amazing girl. I know anyone who reads about her will fall in love just like I have.
This made me cry happy tears. And I'm so glad she broke that curse. You want to try and be positive, but it's hard as they age, especially if they have health issues. I don't blame you at all, for not putting it into writing before now. I'm superstitious like that myself.
This time with her is so emotionally exhausting – I get it. I feel for you — I've also gone through with many heart dogs and you just celebrate every day and knowing they're comfortable and happy is the most important thing. But it's awful though. I know there isn't anything I can say to make that pit go away but just know –we're all thinking about you and sweet Sheba.
Thank you so much, Christy. Sheba is only our third dog to make it well into her senior years (counting Cricket), and the cancer only complicates things. So in some ways we still just don't know what to expect; but we do know how grateful we are to get this experience, tough as it might be.
Such a wonderful story and it reminds us all that our senior animals can live long and healthy lives. It's hard as they age and we watch them more closely. I have lived in this health nether-world with beloved felines and the best we can do is offer them excellent care and watch them closely. Just because they are aging does not mean they are not experiencing a wonderful quality of life.
Thank you so much. You are right, it is an honor to care for them; and the love they give back makes every struggle completely worth it.
You're so sweet to stop by again!
I hope she is with you for a long time to come. You really have taken very good care of her and all of them.
Thank you, Linda. I'll always feel like maybe I should be doing something more (like more homemade meals), yet you can't really argue with success, can you? I don't know if it's what we're doing, or just that she is such a fighter. Either way, it works!
Happy New Year to your family and most especially to your amazing little Sheba! She's lucky to have you.
Thank you, Chris, and Happy New Year to you! It works both ways – we are so lucky to have Sheba as well!
I'm glad the curse was broken! Sending lots of good thoughts for continued good days together!
It's terrible isn't it, wondering how our pets will go or when we'll have to make that decision? My mom worries about your family too but knows you will do what's best for Sheba, it's amazing that she is still around. Mom's Aunt's husband died recently, her son took her to stay with him a few days only to have her cat die staying with her other son! She said that the cat loved Jim (husband) and ever since he went into nursing home in April she wasn't the same. Almost like dying of a broken heart.
That story about your Aunt's cat is so sad! I worry a lot also about how Cricket and Luke are going to take Sheba's passing. Luke can be a loner at times so I think he'll be OK, but Cricket and Sheba have been together since Cricket was just a few months old (she's only two months older than Sheba).
On the other hand, our cat Conrad was extremely bonded with our cat Katie. When Katie died I know Conrad was heartbroken, yet he went on to live many years. I guess you just never know, and have to hope for the best.
Jan, you have no idea how timely this post is. I celebrate Sheba and pray for all of you. My senior dog Buster, age 13 +, has a rare liver disease and refused to eat this morning. I can't give him some of his meds unless he has food in his stomach.
He had been doing better up until Sunday when his appetite was a bit off and his movements slower. He vascillates like that and every time he declines I am gripped with fear and such sadness. Like you, I don't know what his final moments will be or when, I just know that every moment woth him is precious. I am not ready, but my readiness means nothing. This is all about him.
Thanks for reminding me to spoil the heck out of him. His life should be about what gives him pleasure and not about stressing over his not eating his nitritious prescription food. He Loves his Zukes and that is his call. It would be nice if he ate the good stuff, but at this point I think that would be more for my peace of mind and not for his joy. Thanks again.
Pat, it is so nice to hear from you; though I'm sorry to hear about Buster. The roller coaster rides of their health are so tough. Sheba does so well at times I could almost forget she's sick (other than the huge lumps on her side). Strangely, at those times, I think I might be ready when it's her time. But then when she goes downhill and things feel imminent, I know I never really will be. Just when I'm starting to despair, she'll bounce back again!
So yes, all we can do is make the most of each day, spoil them rotten, and try to get them to eat what we can. I remember this way too well with our beagle Kobi, and eventually he just would not eat at all, and nothing we tried worked. He knew it was his time, and we really do just have to listen to them when they're telling us that, as difficult as it is.
Thanks, Jan. After I posted, I forgot all about his healthy diet and gave him a small portion of cat food (what we call kitty cat kibbles) and Zukes. He gobbled it up and looks a little perkier. Was able to get his meds in him and now I feel better, too. I have a house full of senior pets: a 17 year old cat named Trubble, and my dogs Buster, 13, and Roxy 10. My Bridgett would be 12 now. My heart and prayers are with you and Sheba. Wishing us all a joyous day.
Thank you for the cat food tip! It's toughest for us to get Sheba to take her pill in the morning too, but we used the cat food and it worked like a charm!
It is tough having a house full of seniors at times, isn't it – yet they make the most wonderful pets. I think of you and Bridgett often….please keep me posted on how Buster is doing.
Yeah Sheba!!! You go girl so glad you made it into the new year and hope your here a long time! Keep doing what you are doing cuz your doing it right.
It can be emotionally exhausting having senior pets, especially when you start losing them close together. I'm so glad Sheba broke the "curse" and has thrived with you for the last year. I know you're cherishing every moment with her and will help her enjoy every day.
Yay, she broke the curse!
Yay for Sheba! I'm so glad she broke the curse and is around to dish out love to you and your group. May 2017 be good to you all!
We are keeping our fingers and paws crossed that Ms. Sheba is able to enjoy many more moons with you and the pack. It's definitely noteworthy and a great reason to celebrate! Bravo…with lots of ear scratches and treats for Sheba-girl.
I'm glad that Sheba is still with us/you. Thank you for sharing your dogs and cat with us. It's always fun to read what others experience with their pets. Plus it's funny when it's not your furkid who's in trouble again. ????
So grateful Sheba is still with you/us! She is a beautiful girl still enjoying her life, even though quieter and slower. Love you all and Happiest New Year!!
Sending you (((hugs))) because I do somewhat know what you mean. My first cat was ill the last 2 years of his life….the Vet had said "it could be days, weeks, months"………..he made it 2 additional years. Savor each and every day as I know you are! Happy New Year!
Way to go, Sheba-girl!!! We have been praying and pulling for you throughout your cancer journey. Our sweet angel Callie has been a wonderful guardian angel for you.
I couldn't agree more; Callie has been such a wonderful Guardian Angel for Sheba. I just wish she could have stayed with you longer. 🙁 I know she wanted to…but it's so true that sometimes they just get too tired to go on, and they just can't fight any more. I know Sheba will be at that point some day, but I am just so grateful that that day hasn't come as soon as we thought it would.
So am I. Sheba is my living hope that one day a cure will be found for all cancers in time to save someone else's beloved pet, family member, or friend.
We look forward to MANY more life lessons from Sheba!
I'm glad your curse was broken, and I'm certainly glad Sheba is still with you. It's so hard to watch them decline though.
I know you know that with Roxy, and we've seen it in Cricket too, even though she's doing better right now. At 12 years old, it could just as easily be old age taking Sheba from us as cancer, so we really are lucky that she's made it this far.
That noise you might hear dear Sheba is all of us cheering you on. Go girl!!!
Give her lots of love and think as positively as you can. Katie made it much longer than we expected, but her last days were so much faster than we ever imagined. As you know, every day with any living being is a gift. Life can be snatched from any creature in an instant. Be thankful for each day and live each day to the fullest. We wish Sheba the best!
One of the vet techs at our vet's office has said to us that when it does happen, it will probably go fast; your experience with Katie seems to hold that true. For them, that is a better thing, and even though I feel like I'm prepared….when she has a downswing I know I'm really not. But it's so true, that we just never know every day how long anyone will be with us. In Sheba's case, at 12 years old, it could just as easily be old age taking her from us as cancer. I really feel like she has already beat the odds, and that really is a blessing.
Yes, bless that beautiful girl of yours, and bless you and the Dadz too. It's because of your love, care and attention that Sheba has been able to fight the good fight and break the curse. I totally understand what it's like to live every day on that dreaded precipice and try to minimize the fear of not knowing the how/when of things. You and I are cut from the same mold when it comes to that. I'll continue praying for Sheba and all of you, and I'm thrilled right along with you that your sweet girl has celebrated a new year with her family. Hugs to you all.

Q: Send HTML to javascript function I've created a javascript function to displays a dialog and receives two parameters for title and body, which will be called from links in a slider.
The thing is I want the body to be able to display HTML code, so you can display links or whatever.
All of this inside a velocity template used in a Liferay portal (just in case it came useful).
This is what i have now:
JS:
function displayPopup(title, body) {
        $("#more-popup").html(body);
        $("#more-popup").dialog({
            modal: true,
            title: title
        });
        return false;
    }

VELOCITY:
#if ($slide.displayPopup.data == true)
    #set( $popupBody = $escapeTool.html($slide.popupBody.data) )
    $moreTextString
#elseif ($slide.Link.data)
    $moreTextString
#end

I can't come up with a workaround to this.
First the html was wrong because of the quotes.
After using escaping for HTML entities, the link seems ok, but a javascript exception jumps when clicking on the link: Uncaught exception: Unexpected Identifier
Also i don't how to convert back the code to HTML that i can insert in the dialog.
Thanks in advance.

A: A not-so-good solution is to try this:
#if ($slide.displayPopup.data == true)
    #set( $popupBody = $escapeTool.html($slide.popupBody.data) )
    $moreTextString
#elseif ($slide.Link.data)
    $moreTextString
#end

Notice the " instead of '.
But the real problem is that you are using an HTML escape function where you need a JS escape function that just escapes ' with \' for example... Using HTML escape can give you problems when using your dialog (that you don't see yet because of the JS error).
I don't know how to do this in Velocity but you can start by replacing ' with \'

A: I finally fixed it with a workaround but not actually passing the HTML to the function, but creating the div to display the popup for each slide that needs it.
Velocity
#if ($slide.displayPopup.data == true)
    $moreTextString

        $slide.popupBody.data

#elseif ($slide.Link.data)
    $moreTextString
#end

JS
$("#slides a.moreButton.popup-button").click(function (event) {
    var number = $(this).attr("id");
    number = number.substr(number.lastIndexOf("-") + 1);
    $("#more-popup-" + number).dialog({
        modal: true
    });
    event.preventDefault();
});
