5 Urgent Questions About the Live Action 'Akira' Remake
5 Celebrity Gaming Scandals That Flew Under The Radar
5 Unhelpful Things Mothers Say To Their Daughters
If you like anime, you've probably heard of Akira. If you like anime and you haven't heard of Akira, here's the reason why you even know what the word "anime" means. But even if you don't like anime, you've likely heard somewhere that Akira is considered both a classic and a milestone in cinematic history.
Now, here are three facts that simply should not be: They're making a live action version.
They're changing the location from Tokyo to New York. And they're recasting it with all white people. Not just any old white people, either. No, Akira, that quintessentially Japanese classic, is being recast with the whitest white people this side of a Mint Julep. Here's the latest casting announcements for the two leads:
Kaneda: Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake or Joaquin Phoenix
Tetsuo (now, no s**t, changed to "Travis"): Andrew Garfield, Robert Pattinson or James McAvoy
Coming soon to a theater near you: Akira, starring Justin Timberlake and that f*****g guy from Twilight.
And this brings up a vital and urgent question: Why?
Actually, it brings up several vital and urgent questions, though to be fair, most of them are just the word "why" with varying degrees of capitalization, exclamation, and with different synonyms for "m**********r" appending them.
Why change the location of a movie whose central theme is how fucked up it is to be Japanese?
I know that sounds disrespectful, but you have to admit that it is, indeed, a pretty fucked up thing to be Japanese. You're confined to an isolated island for the vast majority of your cultural development - an island regularly beset by massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and typhoons - and when you eventually do emerge from your isolation, you become the only society to ever have nuclear weaponry deployed against them. Consider all of those factors, and then watch one of those tsunami videos; it's easy to see why so many of their movies seem to think of cities as "those things that just go away sometimes." Akira's imagery relies heavily on this concept of civilization as an impermanent thing: Cities are fragile beings in the movie. They can, and frequently do, dissolve away into nothing right before the character's eyes.
Akira takes place in Tokyo, decades after it's been completely devastated and eventually rebuilt. The location wasn't picked at random: That specific setting has great significance to the story, which revolves around the brutal, violently changing forms of its protagonist, Tetsuo. It's a movie that explores what people are, what civilization brings with it, how progress changes us, and why that's not always for the better. But it absolutely has to take place in Tokyo, Japan's most iconic and permanent settlement, otherwise it means nothing. You can't just do a line, close your eyes, spin a globe, stop it with your dick, and expect the story to work just fine wherever it lands, jaded Hollywood producers.
Why did you think a race change was even necessary?
Humanity is basically an international culture now. Japan isn't a place so foreign to us that we can't relate to them as human beings. It's where our video games come from. It's where Mario lives. It's a plane ticket or a Skype call away. If you wanted to, you could do a quick Google search right now, and flip over to a webcam dedicated to watching them poop. That's about as intimate as you can get with another society. We're okay with Asians, Hollywood: They're no longer a mysterious and inscrutable society that fills us with fear and wonder. We don't think they feel rage with their feet, or hover when depressed or anything -- we generally assume they have human emotions and human struggles just like everybody else. Chow Yun Fat had a career over here, remember? Lucy Liu? Hell, Ong Bak even did okay in American theaters, and that was a movie about a guy who did feel rage with his feet.
So when you're needlessly remaking movies in the future, remember that you can leave the setting and ethnicity of the characters alone, just so long as you change all of the dialogue to English, lest we spot a subtitle and are forced to flee the theater, slapping at the air like bees are chasing us. (SIDE NOTE: It might also be okay to tone down the weirdness at the end of Akira a little. In general, American audiences won't really get the significance of the whole "teenager can't handle evolving into a higher form and explodes into a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man of cancerous throbbing organs" plot device. That's just not a thing, here. We prefer our ambiguous supernatural endings to be people either becoming or disappearing into amorphous light beams, thanks.)
Why the switch to live action?
Akira was so cutting edge at the time it was filmed, that it still stands up perfectly well today, even against modern animation techniques. Aside from the fact that nobody in the movie is capable of closing their mouths completely -- all standing around with bared teeth like howler monkeys -- there's just no cause to change anything about the visuals.
You know we still watch animated movies, right? We have an entire Oscar category for it. Toy Story 3 brought in over a billion dollars at the box office. There's obviously a thriving market for animated films in America today. The main draw of animation in movies is that the characters will always seamlessly integrate with their surroundings, no matter how lavish or intricate they get. You're actually losing authenticity with the integration of CGI and film. The only possible gain in updating to live action is that you won't have to pay an entire platoon of Koreans to cel-shade Robert Pattinson's pasty half-abs.
Why the age change?
The cardinal sin in this remake isn't even the whitewashing, it's the age change. Look at that cast list again: None of those people can play convincing teenagers, some of them even when they were actual teenagers. That's probably why Pattinson was chosen for Twilight, actually: The fact that there's something fundamentally off about the way he thinks human beings behave makes him a suitable choice for a vampire, or somebody with mild autism, and maybe even for my screenplay about a vampire with mild autism, but not for a teenager whose hormones and uncertainty cause him to regularly and sometimes literally explode with emotion.
He doesn't understand humanity... he just eats them.
Tetsuo and Kaneda are both fifteen years old in Akira, and they're already members of a brutal motorcycle gang. That was, and to some extent still is, a real concern in Japan: They're called
Bosozoku gangs, and don't let their hilarious cartoon vehicles fool you: In the late '80s, violent teenage motorcycle gangs were right at the top of the media scare list in Japan, kind of like Muslims and terrorism are in the US today. The age of the characters is key in Akira, both in tying the main characters to the phobias of that culture, and also in dealing with all of the teenage emotional mainstays: Sex, hormones, and puberty. And Akira is very much about puberty. The finale of the movie has one of Tetsuo's limbs engorging, growing out of control, and engulfing his girlfriend; it's not exactly shooting for subtlety. But you can't explore any of these issues with that live-action cast, because they are all, at the very least, fully grown men who have had more than enough time to get comfortable with boners.
Some more than others.
So what it could it possibly be about now?
With all of these factors considered -- the change in race, age, and location -- there's only one thing this live action version of Akira can be about. The same thing every other "meaningful" Hollywood movie has been about since the day it happened: 9/11.
Think about it: There's a city, emblematic of its nation, that undergoes a great hardship, but after many years of struggle, they finally rebuild. Then a group of friends, their gang analogous to a controversial real life group, ostracized and hunted by the government, somehow causes the destruction of said city. It was an important moment in our history, and of course it deserves coverage. But why choose Akira to talk about it? Well, because Hollywood believes that the only disaster Americans can relate to is 9/11, but sometimes work is hard and it takes a lot of time, and that sucks. So instead of setting to work on an original script, they're just going to up and steal a movie that perfectly captured what it was to be Japanese in a tumultuous period of history, and make it all about white people problems instead.
Oh, but don't go off thinking somebody has greenlit a movie that will only defile a classic and shove it's dick into the ear of cinematic history. That's all wrong.
There are actually two movies. Yep: It's a two-parter. Somebody thought this project was such a great idea that it couldn't possibly be confined to one film.
And there won't be any dicks going anywhere, because unlike the original, most notable for its shocking brutality and unflinching focus on often uncomfortably adult themes, this version is going to be PG-13.

Coast Capital Savings has some advice when it comes to debt.
Statistics Canada recently reported for every dollar of disposable income Canadians have, they owed nearly a dollar 79.
Daryl Hosein, Coast Capital Savings spokesperson has some advice when it comes to debt.
Hosein said the kind of debt you want to avoid includes high-interest credit card debt that you might rack up buying consumer goods, like clothing.
He said there is no magic number for consumer debt because each person is in a different place, but if you are comfortable with the money you owe, it's probably okay.

Q: Jeditable: how to set parameters based on dom element attributes Often I find that I need to use jeditable on several areas each requiring different parameter settings.
For example I use jeditable with autosuggest input type, and then I need to pass different data sources to the different inputs.
I wanted to use just one instance of the editable plugin, and have tried to assign attr-values to the script, but obviously this does not work the way I'm approaching it..
I'm hoping someone can guide me a bit..
Essentially I would like to be able to set a jeditable parameter value based on the value of an ttribute of the dom element it is manipulating.
something like:
$('.editme').editable('savedata.php',{
    loadurl   : 'loaddata.php',
    loaddata  : { handle:  $(this).attr('rel') }
});

then I could simply specify different load sources with:

apples

I didn't find the keyword this to work in this way..
How can I access the attributes of the dom element being manipulated dynamically for each jeditable binding?
here is another example of what I want to do:
    authorsList = "".split(",");
  // extend jeditable with autocomplete
  $.editable.addInputType('autoc', {
      element: function(settings, original) {
      var input = $("<input />").autocomplete(settings.mdata, settings.autoc);
      $(this).append(input);
  return input; }
   });

$('.editable.authors').editable('savedata.php',{
   type : "autoc",
   mdata    : $(this).attr('rel'), // should hold the name 'authorsList'
   onblur   : 'ignore',
   autoc    : {  multiple: true,
                 multipleSeparator: ',' },
    loadurl   : 'loaddata.php',
    loadtype  : 'POST',
    loaddata  : {handle: function(){ return eval($("#objhandle").val())}, lookuptype: 'mirror'},
    submit    : 'save',
    cancel    : 'cancel',
    tooltip   : "Click to edit",
    style     : "inherit",
    cssclass  : 'jedi',
    id        : "field",
    name      : "data",
    submitdata : {
        storetype: 'mirror',
        handle: function(){return eval($("#objhandle").val())},
        timestamp: function(){return eval($("#objtimestamp").val())}
    }
});

A: Warning, totally untested code but something like following should work:
$('.editme').each(function() {
    $(this).editable('savedata.php',{
        loadurl   : 'loaddata.php',
        loaddata  : { handle:  $(this).attr('rel') }
    });
});

This way the score of this should be correct when initializing Jeditable on the element.

A: this worked for me
$(this).data('rel)

and for the html

apples

Fox's takeover of Sky may get additional U.K. review
Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox's acquisition of U.K. TV and Internet provider Sky faces more review by U.K. regulators.
Fox's takeover of Sky may get additional U.K. review Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox's acquisition of U.K. TV and Internet provider Sky faces more review by U.K. regulators. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2tsUixR
Mike Snider, USA TODAY Published 10:03 a.m. ET June 29, 2017 | Updated 10:28 a.m. ET June 29, 2017

Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox's acquisition of U.K.-based TV and Internet provider Sky faces additional review by regulators.
The development represents another setback for Murdoch and his sons James and Lachlan -- the family that owns Fox, which includes the Fox TV network, Fox News and Hollywood studio 20th Century Fox.
In December 2016, Fox announced its nearly $15 billion bid for Sky. The family attempted to acquire the company outright in 2011, but abandoned the bid amid News Corp.'s phone hacking and alleged bribery scandal.
Fox currently owns 39% of Sky and was an initial shareholder in the company. James Murdoch is Sky's chairman; he previously served as CEO from 2003 to 2007.
Based on the findings of U.K. media regulator Ofcom, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said Thursday she would likely seek additional review of the transaction due to public interest concerns.
"Ofcom's report states that the proposed transaction would give the Murdoch Family Trust material influence over news providers with a significant presence across all key platforms," she said in a statement. "This potentially raises public interest concerns because, in Ofcom's view, the transaction may increase members of the Murdoch Family Trust's ability to influence the overall news agenda and their ability to influence the political process and it may also result in the perception of increased influence."
Bradley's decision is not final and she has given the parties involved until July 14 to respond.
The Ofcom report addressed the growing number of racial discrimination and harassment suits filed against Fox in the U.S., as well as sexual harassment and discrimination charges against the firm.
21st Century Fox paid $45 million in settlements related to sexual harassment cases against former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, according its Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Ailes, who resigned from the network in July 2016, died last month.
Also mentioned: Fox's April 2017 firing of Fox News star Bill O'Reilly, for whom the company reportedly paid $13 million to settle sexual harassment accusations from a number of women over his time there, an investigation by The New York Times found.
"Allegations of sexual and racial harassment at Fox News are extremely serious and disturbing," the Ofcom report says. "It seems clear that there were significant failings of the corporate culture at Fox News. Fox's response to the claims has been mixed."
Despite these "significant corporate failures" at Fox, Bradley said those findings did not suggest "the merged company would lack a genuine commitment to broadcasting standards."
21st Century Fox, in a statement Thursday said, "While we welcome the Secretary of State's decision on broadcasting standards, we are disappointed that she does not accept Ofcom's recommendation stated in its report that '….the proposed undertakings offered by Fox to maintain the editorial independence of Sky News mitigate the media plurality concerns."
Fox plans to make a presentation to the secretary and expects the Sky acquisition to close by June 30, 2018, should she refer the deal to the Competition and Markets Authority for additional review.

Q: Fatal error: Non-static method in PHP using PDO for MySQL I'm inserting, using PDO, a row into the table, and I need the id of the new row so I can redirect to the new page based off that row.
When I use
$id = PDO::lastInsertId();
I get
Fatal error: Non-static method PDO::lastInsertId() cannot be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\createimage.php on line 16

Here's the php that results in an error:
<?php

$title = $_POST['title'];
$caption = $_POST['caption'];

$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=imagesite', 'root', '');

$stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO images (id,link,title,caption) VALUES (NULL,:link,:title,:caption)');

$stmt->execute(array(
    'link' => 'fake',
    'title' => $title,
    'caption' => $caption
    ));

$id = PDO::lastInsertId();

header("Location: localhost/image?id=$id");

Can anyone tell what's going wrong? Or another way to achieve that I'm looking to do?

A: You shouldn't call it directly from the class.. I suggest you to review the OOP once more..
you have created an instance of the PDO class in the $conn variable and you should call the function from the object you have made..
$conn->lastInsertId()

A: You're looking for:
$conn->lastInsertId()

In the PHP documentation, they show you PDO::lastInsertId() but that's to understand this method is within the PDO class. But you need to call it using your object.

10 Times Dave Lombardo Was the Best Drummer on Earth
The innovator of thrash drumming has been beating drum kits into submission for 40 years. Having sat atop the drum throne for Slayer, Fantomas, Dead Cross and many others, Lombardo is always in the conversation for the best drummer on earth.
Lombardo's drumming the most consistent aspect of Slayer's legendary career. Beyond iconic parts like his double-kick drum fill in "Angel of Death," Lombardo has brought percussive malevolence to "Silent Scream," "Ghosts of War," "Hate Worldwide" and many others.
In 1999, Testament released arguably the heaviest thrash album of all time with The Gathering. The album's unbridled brutality was driven by Lombardo, who crushed his kit for this Testament album and this one only. Lombardo never performed live with Testament, but there is footage online of the drummer rehearsing "Fall of Sipledome" with his fellow thrash legends.
Few partnerships have been more fruitful than the one between Lombardo and Mike Patton. In Fantomas and Dead Cross, the duo have created pummeling and experimental music over the course of decades, refusing to pander to fans of their respective bands. You'll see live footage from both bands in this compilation, along with a cut called "Freaked Out."

Latest Mobile news
Macs are overtaking PCs in the office, according to new report
By Chuong Nguyen published 9 December 15
Macs win IT favor
Support for Apple's Mac hardware continues to climb. According to a recent report published by JAMF Software, a company that provides enterprise management solutions for Apple products, 96% of the 500 IT professionals surveyed in September 2015 say their teams support Mac. Additionally, 81% support iPad and 84% support iPhone.
IT professionals recognize tangible benefits to switching to a Mac. Compared with a Windows-based PC, IT professionals say that the move to a Mac could result in an increase productivity, more employee engagement and a reduction in costs. These sentiments echo IBM's finding that switching to a Mac resulted in a saving of $270 (£177, AU$373) per user.
Additionally, 75% of those surveyed said Macs provide better security compared to rival platforms.
Support statistics
Mac support in the enterprise is higher than support for Windows PC. Only 92% of IT professionals say their internal teams support PCs, and 28% of those surveyed say they support Chromebooks. Support for Windows tablets is at 46%.
The JAMF report only cited support numbers, and the survey doesn't provide specifics about Mac adoption and deployment rates.
Sixty-four percent prefer Macs because Apple's computers are easier to manage than other computer platforms. As Apple standardizes on common protocols, less maintenance is required and supporting the platform becomes easier.
"While a lot of the attention of Apple's success has been on its iOS devices, the survey results also show that Mac will continue to replace the PC at an unprecedented rate because it empowers users to be creative, productive, and happier in their jobs," said Dean Hager, CEO of JAMF Software, in an interview with ComputerWorld.
With virtualization software like VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop, Mac users can run OS X and Windows apps on the same computer side-by-side. Running two OSes on a single device could result in big savings for businesses in terms of hardware, support and software costs. Macs also ship with basic productivity software, such as Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps.
User preference
However, it's not just IT departments that prefer to support, manage and deploy Macs. Users are also choosing Macs because of their own familiarity with the platform at home.
"As organizations continue to implement user choice programs, more and more employees are choosing Apple devices for work because this is what they prefer in their everyday lives," David Alampi, JAMF Software Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, told ComputerWorld. "As a result, Apple is seeing increased adoption in the enterprise because employees demand Apple."
Apple is still strong in the education market, with 94% of K-12 and 97% of higher education organizations supporting Macs.
Apple's growth comes at a time when the PC market as a whole is contracting. PC sales are expected to rebound in late 2016, according to a recent IDC report, as businesses begin to upgrade their commercial systems.

French Grammar Site – Continuation
Posted August 16, 2018 by Olivia Jin
I worked on the French Grammar with Professor Humbert during the summer of 2018. This project was a continuation of a project from the previous summer. I assisted Professor Humbert from the Middlebury French Department in creating a French grammar website on Canvas for beginner and intermediate French speakers. This website focuses on not only providing guidelines for the different French grammar structures, but also aims to provide exercises for the users to practice utilizing the different grammar structures.
One chapter, 'Subjontifs', has already been started in the past summer, and my main task was to edit and polish the chapter. I was mainly tasked with formatting the different pages and quizzes and to organize the site to make navigating the site easier. I also experimented with different tools to create interactive games and exercises on the website for the users to practice the grammar.
The project took around 2 months. First, I worked on formatting the different pages and quizzes to match the PDF documents that Professor Humbert created for the site. These PDF documents are also made available to download on the site. I also worked to organize the site under 'Pages', 'Modules' and 'Table des Matières' (Table of Contents) so that all of the page titles match and that the method of organization is consistent throughout the site. A lot of time was spent on experimenting with tools to create interactive games for the site. I used Microsoft Sway to create 2 games for the users: one with two stacks of cards (one stack for subjects, the other for verbs), in which the users can click through and try to conjugate the verbs in respect to the subjects; one with various sliders, each with a subject and a verb, in which the user can conjugate the verb, and check the answer by using the slider.
I met with Professor Humbert in the middle of the summer to discuss the progress of the site and the different problems I faced while using the site (eg. inability to organize quizzes on the 'Quiz' page, requiring a video feedback page, uploading audio recordings, etc.). I received feedback on the progress and was able to discuss the different potential solutions to the problems. After the meeting, I stayed in contact with Professor Humbert to regularly update her with the progress. I realized that creating a website required a lot of attention to details, as we're supposed to pick up on the slightest glitches or problems that could hinder the user's experience. A lot of the times, it was speculating the different problems someone could face while using the website in order to prevent that from happening.
This project is still ongoing. I was able to complete one chapter of the many chapters that are left to be created in the future. I will be working with Professor Humbert in the next academic year to work on the remaining chapters.
Course Video Repository
I worked with Professor Pyle in the Economics Department to create a platform with all the links to videos used in his courses so that his students can easily access them. With many videos used in several of his classes, he wanted a single repository for all the links to the videos to make sharing them with his classes easier. We decided to create a WordPress site that organizes the different videos into different courses.
It is a simple website where the links to the videos are organized by different courses. Despite the simple layout, I tried to make the site more aesthetically pleasing by adding a skyline of Beijing as a header image. The photograph was searched using Creative Commons, by ahenobarbus (Flickr) [CC BY 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_Beijing.jpg).
Currently, the website is open to everyone with a Middlebury account, thus Middlebury students who has a link to the website can potentially view the videos for all the courses. For some videos, those shared on Panopto, this could be problematic, thus in order to abide with the copyright laws, Professor Pyle would have to manage the share settings on Panopto every semester to control who gets to view the videos.
The whole project took around a month. After creating a draft website, I met with Professor Pyle to receive feedback and further discuss the details of the website (eg. the title of the website, aesthetics, etc.), which helped me better understand which direction to move forward in terms of the project. I changed the theme of the website to make it more interesting and added a header image to keep it more aesthetically pleasing. Despite the slight changes in design, I decided to keep the website as simple and minimalist as possible, so that it's easy to navigate and practical for both Professor Pyle and the students. I've also shared with Professor Pyle a document outlining the different instructions on editing the site and troubleshooting methods.

NYCC 2012 Exclusive: Producers Jeff Kline and Duane Capizzi On The Hub's 'Transformers Prime' Marathon, Plus Sneak Peeks
Alex Zalben 10/11/2012
We've got something big for you today... Not only do we have some sneak peeks at this Saturday's episode of Transformers: Prime, but we can exclusively announce that leading up to the Season Finale, The Hub will be running every episode of the show, ever, in a row. Here's the info:
Starting November 1 – for the first time ever – The Hub will be broadcasting nothing but TRANSFORMERS PRIME episodes (every episode from the first two seasons)! The Hub has never dedicated this many consecutive hours to any other show! All 52 episodes that have been telecast thus far will culminate with the Season Two Finale which will forever change the "Transformers Prime" universe. It all starts at 5:30 pm EST on Thurs, Nov. 1st and ends with the Season 2 Finale at 7 pm EST on Fri, Nov. 2nd.
And if you thought that was it? Nope. Though they'll be live and in person later today at the Transformers Prime panel at New York Comic Con, we got a chance to chat with Executive Producer Jeff Kline ("Transformers Rescue Bots," "Men in Black: The Animated Series") and Co-Executive Producer Duane Capizzi ("The Batman," "Superman: Doomsday") about, well, everything... From Season 1, to Season 2, and beyond:
MTV Geek: So getting this mega-marathon is a pretty big deal... For you guys, what does this mean, and how has the fanbase for the show grown over these two seasons and a mini-series?
Jeff Kline: For those of us who tend to be a little narrow-focused while making the series, the marathon is a nice reminder of just how supportive the fan base -- and The Hub -- has been from the get-go. And that too much bot-on-bot action is never enough!!!
Geek: Are you going to camp out and watch the episodes, too? Or, I imagine you've watched them enough times that would drive you a little nuts?
Duane Capizzi: The idea of getting into my Bumblebee jammies to watch the marathon is both exciting and daunting. But just when I think I can't muster the strength to rewatch an episode yet again, it'll happen to be on and always sucks me right back in. We're really proud of this show.
Geek: Talk a little bit about the development of the show... When you started off, I know you put together a bible, right? How much was planned out, and how much has changed?
JK: It doesn't matter whether you're working in drama or comedy... Live-action or animation, you always burn through story much faster than anticipated or desired. We tend to arc-out three years worth of major beats at the beginning... But, if that actually lasts us through the middle of season two, we do cartwheels.
DC: The nuts and bolts were there from the beginning, the key character relationships and such. And we had a basic sense of each of the season arcs from the get go. But of course the deeper we got into our storyline, the more the characters would surprise us. And being taskmasters that we are, we wouldn't let the characters off easy.
Geek: For each individual season, there's an arc of course, but I imagine also a theme, if you will... What, for you, is the arc of the series, and what are the individual themes you've wanted to explore?
JK: I think, for me, the overall "theme" of the series has to do with the universal need to find or forge a family and a home. We asked a lot of questions at the outset: what if you couldn't go home again? What if you had to make a life for yourself in a foreign land (or on a foreign planet) where you were forced to "disguise" yourself not just from those who are hunting you (Decepticons), but from those who might destroy anything they don't understand (humanity)? What if you were badly outnumbered and technologically outmatched? And yet, what if you were so inherently "heroic," that you couldn't help but risk your own lives -- and the very future of your race -- to try to save a planet that (officially) doesn't even acknowledge your existence? Obviously, there are parallels throughout human history for what our "primes" deal with each week. And if I'd paid more attention in "world history" class, I could probably quote you a few examples...
DC: It's a big story, so we're exploring epic themes: war, peace, revenge, redemption, friendship, betrayal. To tell you the arc of the series might give some things away -- things that will come into more focus over the course of the remaining season 2 episodes and feed into our equally epic (if not even more so, if you can believe it) season 3.
Geek: Was there a character that popped in a way you weren't expecting? Or a storyline that didn't quite work out the way you expected?
JK: When the characters are "working"... When they're multi-dimensional and recognizably flawed... You're constantly surprised by where they might go. Quite honestly, that's one of the joys of writing for television -- the ability to adjust story on-the-fly to reflect the growth and change "happening" to your creations.
More specifically, once we cast Jeffrey Combs as Ratchet, and began to write toward his particular (and unique) voice, that character really "popped" for me. He became our "Bones Mccoy," and/or every cantankerous (but soft-centered) uncle I ever rolled my eyes at.
DC: Well, a lot of those surprises occurred during the casting process, and the recording of our first episodes. Kudos to our amazing cast for bringing these characters to life in ways we never dreamed. Without naming names, I think with the help of our voice talent, we've redefined some of these characters for generations to come.
As for storylines, we've spoken in the past about how "partners" was originally intended to be Wheeljack's "comeback" episode in season one -- then mysteriously morphed into one of our greatest Starscream episodes and the first culmination of Arcee's "dual" revenge arc (tailgate and Cliffjumper).
Similarly, season 2's "Crossfire" stands out as an episode that didn't find itself until the eleventh hour. We all went into the writers' room on that one deciding it couldn't be anything more than a "bridge" episode -- we had so many different character arcs to set in place for what was coming next. But as much as we like every episode to feed into the greater whole, we also like them to stand alone. The parallel moment of Optimus finally deciding that he cannot afford to show Megatron mercy, contrasted with Starscream who unexpectedly shows mercy to Arcee (albeit for his own arrogant reasons) was something that came together at the very end and helped elevate the episode to a season standout.
I should take a moment for a shout out to our terrific writing staff Marsha Griffin and Steven Melching this season, as well as our episodic writers including Marty Isenberg (writer of 'Crossfire') and writer/writing assistant/wearer of many hats, Mairghread Scott.
And especially our executive producer and mega-goalie Jeff Kline who allows nothing sub-standard to get past him (he's probably shaking his head as he reads this, "Capizzi mangled yet another sports reference").
Geek: This is a pretty general question, but why do you think the idea of Transformers is so enduring? What's appealing about the franchise to you?
DC: At its most elemental, look out into the street: automobiles everywhere. Any one of them could be a robot in disguise. For us, it was an opportunity to deepen the characters and tell a compelling story. I for one think we've succeeded, hopefully 'prime' will endure.
JK: Bad-ass cars that turn into alien robots. 'Nuff said.
Geek: One thing that makes this iteration of T-formers unique is your willingness to really change things... Was there any resistance to this? Or were you able to just go for it with gusto?
JK: We tried very hard not to contradict previous TF mythology, but -- obviously -- we wanted and needed to add to the lore to create "Prime." Aaron Archer and the other folks at Hasbro were understandably nervous at the earliest stages, but once they realized that we were just as protective of this world as they are, they were game for nearly everything we threw at them.
DC: Did we really change that much? I'm not so sure. We wanted to give this generation their version of Transformers, updated and with a new attitude. I'll stick with the automotive allusions and say we gave things a "tune up" as we went along. I wouldn't say "resistance," but Aaron Archer and the good folks on his team (back at Hasbro Rhode Island) would step in and "correct" things if we strayed too far off course in the lore department.
Geek: Bouncing off that, 'Prime' almost seems on par with a network, serial TV show, rather than a goofy kids cartoon... Was there anything in particular you were inspired by?
JK: Bob, Alex, Duane, and I all came into this series with various levels of prime-time and feature experience, and a strongly-held belief that there is never a reason to talk down to your audience. Happily, Hasbro and the hub felt the same way. I truly believe that nearly everyone in television wants to do the best, smartest work they possibly can. A series rarely tanks because the creative stewards didn't care, or set out to disappoint. But, amidst the time constraints and the budgetary pressures and conflicting agendas, "bad" can and does happen. You can never be certain that what you're doing will work and/or find an audience; obviously, "Prime" has been very, very fortunate on both counts.
DC: Speaking for myself, Jack Kirby's Marvel work, The Sopranos, Caniff's Terry and the Pirates were among many touchstones. I know the latter two may seem like strange choices, but one thing I learned from The Sopranos was to defy audience expectation but still satisfy-- and from Terry, getting the most out of working with a limited cast of core characters (not to mention sets -- a necessary challenge of working in cg on a television budget). But in all honesty, we didn't set out to create something "dark" or "adult." most great entertainment appeals to both kids and adults, families, and we think 'Prime' has just the right balance of tones to satisfy everyone. The "macguffins" and scavenger hunts are simply a spine to hang the deeper dramatic stuff on, any given episode is never simply about that "relic of the week."
Geek: Okay, so this marathon is all leading up to the Season Two finale... What can we expect? Any teases?
DC: Ummm, we don't like spoilers. But I will say that every remaining episode -- much like last week's 'Hard Knocks' -- will contain a major game-changer. Oh, and some of the most clever and most inventive "set pieces" we've mounted to date (no fewer than two in next week's episode #23). Well, consider yourself teased then.
Geek: And what about Season Three? You have fewer episodes than the previous two seasons... Why is that? And what does that do for your storytelling?
DC: Season 3 delivers. You will laugh, you will cry ... I'm not going to say anything specific about what's going to happen in season 3 but just know that you definitely haven't seen the last of your favorite characters from Transformers Prime.
Geek: Overall, where are we now in the long-range story of Transformers: Prime?
DC: It's a serial, as you've said; which means it's one big epic event. Which means we are currently approaching the end of "act two" in the big picture.
Geek: Any final words for fans? Or teases for what we're going to see at your NYCC panel?
DC: If you like what you've seen so far, keep watching and you won't be disappointed. You know I'm not gonna tease anything, and that's kind of an obvious statement to make. But hey, it's true!
JK: Yes, we have a never-before-seen clip. 'Cuz we'd much rather watch something cool than hear ourselves talk!
...And speaking of "never before seen clips," here's a scene from this week's episode, as well as a little info on what you can expect:
Episode 223 "Inside Job"
Logline: When the Decepticons take him captive, Smokescreen learns of the location of the final Omega Key - and attempts to retrieve all of the other stolen keys from Megatron.

Marjan Kamali, Katherine A Sherbrooke, Elizabeth Ames, Susan Bernhard
As of this writing, we are in this weird place between "normal" and "hello Zoom, my old friend". How is your book club going these days? Outside? Inside? Virtual? Maybe your book club has lost its motivation and evaporated like all that summer rain. While everyone should choose what level of "friendliness" they are comfortable with, let's agree on one thing: having the author of your book club pick at your meeting is an incredible bonus.
Haven't you done it already? Well you should, as the Boston area is full of published novelists, and many of them are more than happy to join your group. Having an author at your meeting takes your meeting to a whole new level: it allows you to get answers and ideas to very specific questions, and hey, it could give you that extra push to make sure that you actually finished the book!
Here are a handful of local authors who are very willing to show up at book clubs. Depending on everyone's comfort level, this might be a virtual tour, but keep it handy for future in-person meetings.
Marjan Kamali, author of "La papeterie"
Marjan's second novel, "The Stationery Shop," was one of NPR's best books of 2019, a true editor's choice, and is now being adapted for television by HBO. "The Stationery Shop" is a love story about missed connections and fate, but because it takes place in part during the Iranian coup of 1953, it is also a book about political and cultural upheavals . Marjan has visited 83 book clubs for "The Stationery Shop" (she keeps a meticulous spreadsheet), and you can contact her through her website: http://MarjanKamali.com.
Katherine A. Sherbrooke, author of "Leaving Coy's Hill"
We all know Massachusetts is full of history. Sherbrooke's landmark novel about abolitionist and suffragist Lucy Stone, Massachusetts' first woman to graduate from college, highlights a person often relegated to the shadow of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Leaving Coy's Hill has been named a NYT 2021 Summer Reading Pick, and you can contact Katherine through her website: http://KaSherbrooke.com.
Elizabeth Ames, author of "The Gold of the Other"
Does your book club also serve as "time with friends"? Then Elizabeth Ames' debut novel "The Other's Gold" might be perfect for your next selection. Before the pandemic, Elizabeth's 'MO book club' was to join the rally after everyone had a chance to pull out their book without her presence – but with enough time for her to have a snack. ! "The Other's Gold" will certainly get people talking, and Elizabeth will always be happy to join in answering readers' questions, with or without snacks. Contact Elizabeth through her website: http://ElizabethAmes.com.
Susan Bernhard, author of "Winter Plunge"
How's that for a breathtaking opening? "Winter Loon" begins with a mother dying by falling into a frozen lake while her son tries to save her. (Hey, that's not a spoiler; it's in the back blurb!) Bernhard's debut novel explores the questions of why some people "escape" bad situations while others can't , and what happens when a child harbors complicated feelings towards a parent. PS Susan also has extensive experience as a bookseller at Belmont Books, so this is a great resource to know when exploring future book club choices! Susan has a book club contact form on her website: http://SusanBerhnard.com.
Jennifer De Leon, author of "White Space: Essays on Culture, Race, & Writing and Don't Ask Me Where I'm From"
This has been one of my favorite reads of 2021, and it's not just because MetroWest Readers Fest selected it as the "signature title" of ONE, our region-wide community read. "White Space," released in March 2021 and winner of the Juniper Prize for Non-Fictional Creation, takes readers from Guatemala to Connecticut College, in the Bay Area, right here in MetroWest: Framingham, where De Leon grew up and now teaches at Framingham State University. De Leon is also the author of YA's novel "Don't Ask Me Where I'm From", which Celeste Ng calls "A Funny, Insightful, and Indispensable Book Telling a Much-needed Story".
Speaking of book clubs, the MetroWest Readers Fest Board of Directors and I would like to invite you to what we call a ONE Big Community Book Club meeting at 7 p.m. on September 30 at the Goodnow Library. And yes, the author will be there! While we encourage you to read one of Jennifer De Leon's books, we know how book clubs (and busy lives) go, so please attend even if you can't finish, or start to. elsewhere ! For more information, visit http://MetroWestReadersFest.org.

A pile of 10 cans is set at the start line for each patrol. These can be soda cans, soup cans, tuna cans, but all need to be the same size.
On 'GO', the first scout for each patrol takes one can and runs to the end of the play area, sets the can on end, and returns to tag the next scout.
Each scout in turn takes one can and stacks it onto those currently stacked, creating a stack with no more than 4 cans on the bottom layer.
If at any time the stack falls over, the entire patrol can run to it and return all the cans to their original pile - only one can per scout. Then, they start over moving one can at a time.
First patrol to complete their stack and return to the starting line wins.

Wells Cross Country Teams To Vie For NEAC Championships
The Wells College women's and men's cross country teams will compete in the 2018 North Eastern Athletic Conference championship meet Saturday, Oct. 27. Lancaster Bible will serve as the host institution for the championship race, which will take place on a course throughout the campus grounds.
The women's 6K championship race will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the men's 8K race at noon. This year's event will feature 12 NEAC schools: Cazenovia College, College of Saint Elizabeth, Gallaudet University, Keuka College, Lancaster Bible, Morrisville State, Penn College, Penn State Abington, Penn State Berks, SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Poly and Wells College. The championship awards ceremony will follow the conclusion of the men's race at approximately 12:30 p.m.
Wells placed 11th in the women's championship in 2017 and the Express men ran to a sixth-place finish last year with two all-conference finishers.
For both events, the top five finishers for each team will count towards the team's total points with the best overall team score from race claiming the team title. The first-place finisher of each race will be named NEAC Runner of the Year, while the top first-year runner will be honored as the NEAC Rookie of the Year.
The 2018 NEAC All-Conference selections will be determined by the outcome of the championship race with the top-seven runners earning first team honors. The runners who place eighth through 14th will earn a spot on the second team, while the competitors who finish 15-21 will round out the third team.
Lancaster Bible will provide live video of the start/finish line and the awards ceremony following the events on their YouTube channel. All video feeds are weather permitting.

Peacetime also ushered in the birth of new towns. Majuro, named the district center by the US military, replaced Jaluit as the headquarters in the Marshalls. In this 1945 photo, the town hall (in the middle) is flanked by hospital buildings. Soon the center would shift from Laura to the other side of the atoll.

I heard a commercial once that said "A Baby Changes Everything". As my beautiful daughter is getting ready to turn the ripe age of one, I look at my life today and compare it to my life one year and nine months ago and you know what? That commercial is right, a baby really DOES change everything.
I am not just talking about waist lines and sleep patterns, I am talking about walking into a clothing store and bee lining it to the baby section, looking in my rear view mirror not to scowl the person behind me, but to make sure she is safe and sound, waking up in the morning not cursing my alarm, but jumping out of bed because I can hear her babbling away and can already see the smile on her face when I open her bedroom door, and lastly, pulling into Tobey's store praying I will see someone I know who can watch her so I don't have to wake her up and lug her inside.
Last year we switched our home insurance to Tilton Insurance and part of the process I had to take pictures of my house. I found these the other day (which sparked the idea for this post) and marveled at the transformation my house has undergone in just the last year. When I took the 'now' pictures I thought to myself 'you should really pick up first', but I didn't, because THIS IS WHAT MY HOUSE LOOKS LIKE! So, albeit mildly embarrassed, I post these pictures so you can get an accurate portrayal of my homes; let's call it, Baby Makeover.
A few others I have to share.
Amy I love your blog(s)!! Though I have no children, and never will due to certain circumstances I can whole hearted fully understand your blog. I lived with my friend Carrie who had an infant son born premature, with this came alot of added duty that I helped share. I was there with him when he took his first steps, tried his first words, when he came off oxygen at 2yrs old, and more so when he was 4 and they did his ear surgery and he was able to hear himself talk for the first time. I never intended to become attached to Andrew, but I did and my life has not been the same since. I miss him all the time now that he and his mom are no longer close by, she has married and added two more beautiful babies to her family. However, I am greatful for the time I had with him and it's true babies really do change everything even if they are not your own!
Wait until the sippy cups are no longer needed ... you will feel like you have miles of new cabinet space. And yes, all that baby stuff does take up space, but when I look at the "after" pictures what I really "see" is pictures of love. Enjoy it.

Minister of State for Sport and Tourism, Michael Ring TD, together with Fáilte Ireland's Eva Dearie, and a group of top US golf media, this week attended the opening of the new Kilmore 9 hole at Carne Golf Links in Belmullet.
The US golf writers and broadcasters arrived in Ireland following the British Open to experience first-hand Carne's new 9 holes.
The visiting media are here as part of a visit supported by tourism bodies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland and hosted by Carne Golf Links.
During their visit not only did they play on the original Hackett course and the new Kilmore 9 hole – but they attended a Gathering organised by John Gallagher, Chairman of Comharchumann Forbartha Ionad Deirbhile.
Indeed, local research with the Heritage Centre, Rosemarie Geraghty has linked her ancestors back to one of the visiting US golf media, John Garrity, long-time Sports Illustrated senior writer.
Eva Dearie, Fáilte Ireland, who spoke at the official opening, said: "Fáilte Ireland's research shows that the golf sector provides a total overseas spend of €202m for the Irish economy.

Q: Choosing suitable weights for AM-GM Consider the following example:
Prove that for all positive reals $a,b,c,d.$ $$a^4b+b^4c+c^4d+d^4a\ge abcd(a+b+c+d) $$
Solution: We apply AM-GM$$\frac{23a^4b+7b^4c+11c^4d+10d^4a}{51}\ge \sqrt[51]{a^{102}b^{51}c^{51}d^{51}}=a^2bcd $$
The solution follows easly from here. then OP states, one way to choose suitable weights is to suppose arbitrary ones $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$ for $a^4b,b^4c,c^4d,d^4a$ respectivly and solve the system of equations:$$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=1$$$$4x_1+x_2=2$$$$4x_2+x_3=1$$$$4x_3+x_4=1$$
The first equation is clear since the weights sum has to be $1$, the general case should be (correct me if I'm wrong) $$x_1a^4b+x_2b^4c+x_3c^4d+x_4d^4a\ge (a^{4x_1}b^{x_1})(b^{4x_2}c^{x_2})(c^{4x_3}d^{x_3})(d^{4x_4}a^{x_4})$$  thus the other 3 aren't very clear, why does he choose $4x_1+x_2=2,\:\: 4x_2+x_3=1, \:\: 4x_3+x_4=1$, isn't it supposed to be$$4x_1+x_4=2$$$$4x_2+x_1=1$$$$4x_3+x_2=1$$$$4x_4+x_3=1$$ (I guess we can also ignore one of the equations since we got 4 variables so we don't need 5 equations to solve the system)
Am I wrong or did I do this correctly?

A: You did that correctly. Also, as you can see, the five equations which are arising are not independent, adding last 4 equations gives the first one.
Hope it helps:)

A: Also, you can use C-S and Muirhead.
Indeed, by C-S $$a^4b+b^4c+c^4d+d^4a=abcd\sum_{cyc}\frac{a^3}{cd}=abcd\sum_{cyc}\frac{a^4}{acd}\geq\frac{abcd\left(\sum\limits_{cyc}a^2\right)^2}{\sum\limits_{cyc}acd}.$$
Id est, it's enough to prove that
$$(a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2)^2\geq(a+b+c+d)(abc+abd+acd+bcd)$$ or
$$\sum_{cyc}a^4+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{sym}a^2b^2\geq\sum_{cyc}a^2(bc+bd+cd)+4abcd,$$ which is true by Muirhead because $(4,0,0,0)\succ(1,1,1,1)$ and $(2,2,0,0)\succ(2,1,1,0).$

The Spine-Health Web site offers so much more than Member Forums.
The Spine-Health Patient Forum is structured into major categories, each one of them offering many specific Forum Topics.
Anytime you sign up for an online forum, you are not totally sure what to expect.
You hope to start right in and get the information you are looking for. Sometimes its not all that easy. Many sites set up strict rules as to how new members can make posts. You wont see this here. This site is geared to help all members, new members, old members, returning members. Everyone here shares a common bond that you will not generally find on other online forums.
even before you start. If you don't find what you are looking for then its time to make that first post.
The more information you can provide in your initial post the better types of responses you will get. Please also keep in mind your audience. Most of the community here are chronic pain sufferers, so they are not new to dealing with pain. Pain levels can always be subjective, because no two people feel pain the same way. But there are standards that the medical field uses.
Anytime, the pain level reaches the 8 mark and higher, is the time for you to seek professional help, the emergency room and not try to deal with on your own.
Everyone here is eager to help all new members. To help get that help, it is important to provide as much information as you can, we can understand the emotions, because that is part of chronic pain.
Please also be patient. If you make your first post and you do not receive a response within the first couple of hours or even a day, do not make another post stating the same thing.
Once you become familiar with the structure of these forums, you will find out which category is the best place to make your follow on posts.
considered as formal medical advise. Member's information is valuable, but it is from their own personal experiences. You should always consult with your doctor(s) when you need formal medical adise.
Spine-Health is a fantastic site that offers much more than the patient forums. But above that, it provides an environment, where you can reach out to other members and talk about our situation.

Croydon family 'lose everything' in devastating house fire
The family arrived home to find their house engulfed in flames and with no roof
Sam TrueloveSenior reporter
The home in Norbury was severely damaged in the fire (Image: LFB)
A Croydon family has "lost everything" after a fierce fire ripped through their Norbury home.
Mauline Blake and her two sons have been left in shock after their terraced house on Norbury Court Road was severely damaged on July 16 .
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to the property at 4.01pm, and the fire was under control little under an hour later.
The ground floor, first floor and roof of the home were all but destroyed, as were the family's possessions and memories inside.
Thankfully, no one was hurt in the fire.
One kind-hearted neighbour, who stood in disbelief as fire ripped through the home, has set up a gofundme page to help try and raise money for Mauline and her family.
The page has so far raised £130, but there are hopes to raise around £1,000.
Croydon binman dies after collapsing in Thornton Heath on hottest day of year
Chantal Boyle, the neighbour who set up the page, said: "Mauline and her two sons have lost not only their home but everything they own in a freak house fire which tore through their house in a matter of 10 minutes or so.
"Our hearts went out to the Blake family. Arriving home to see their house engulfed in flames with no roof was incredibly shocking for Mauline and her boys. I witnessed the entire event and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
"There were many neighbours that came out to help and offer words of sympathy at the time which was a comfort to the family.
"Now that the fire is doused and the shock of the incident becomes a reality we would like to offer some support so that Mauline and her sons can start to replace some of the basics, as all they have are the clothes that were on their backs at the time of the fire."
London Fire Brigade has confirmed it is investigating the cause of the fire.
A spokesman said: "Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to a fire at a house on Norbury Court Road in Norbury.
"Part of the ground floor, first floor and roof of an end-of-terrace house were damaged by the fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
"The brigade's 999 control officers took 19 calls on the fire.
"The brigade was called at 4.01pm and the fire was under control by 4.56m. Fire crews from Norbury, Tooting, Wimbledon, Croydon and surrounding fire stations were at the scene.
"The cause of the fire is under investigation."

Amprobe VPC-10N Voltage and Continuity Tester is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rich46 from Regular use electrical tool This is a tool set I would use regularly. Like other products, it works well and is reliable. The digital voltage/amp meter is a versatile, useful tool that combines all the basic tools you would use in electrical work. It is durable, convenient, and easy to carry. The little AC tester is a quick way to verify if something is hot -- I've given out dozens of these things to customers who end up carrying them in their pockets because they are so useful.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Landrum from Easy to use and easily readable I bought this tester over 2 years ago and still use it without a problem. Very easy to operate.
Rated 5 out of 5 by burlesonj from Easy to use, Easy to view This tester was the asiest to use and has great visual results compared to others I've used. It's light and has a nice shape making it easy to hold in virtually any position or space constraint.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcraft from preferred tool I have used this voltage and continuity tester for over twenty-five (25) and still love it. For voltage readings you get a bright light and low hum, for continuity you get a high pitch beep. That's why I love it.


We've extended the salty crunch of the sunflower seeds by using them to coat pounded medallions of pork tenderloin.
Use sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts, cilantro instead of basil, anejo cheese instead of Parmesan and what have you got? A Mexican pesto that has a little more body than its classic counterpart.
Here, we've extended the salty crunch of the sunflower seeds by using them to coat pounded medallions of pork tenderloin.
You'll have lots more pesto than needed for this dish, and that's a good thing. This pesto would be great stirred into scrambled eggs or as a soft bed for eggs Benedict, as mix-in for cold pasta salads or a veggie dip. It can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Serve with a corn and black bean salad. The pesto recipe is from "Fresh Mexico: 100 Simple Recipes for True Mexican Flavor," by Marcela Valladolid, which will be published in August by Clarkson Potter.
Trim any visible pockets of fat and any silver skin from the tenderloin. Cut it crosswise into 8 equal pieces. Place two at a time inside a resealable plastic food storage bag (do not seal); pound to a thickness of about 1/4 inch so that you have flat, thin and wide paillards. Rub a little oil on both sides of each one, then season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place 1/2 cup of the sunflower seeds in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a wide, shallow plate and add the crisp onion bits; mix well.
Heat a tablespoon or two of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the paillards (all should fit) and cook for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned; the meat should be white beneath the coating. Turn them over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned on the second side and the meat is cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the coating from getting too browned.
While the meat is cooking, make the pesto: Wash and dry the cilantro; cut the stems at the point they have no leaves and discard. Place the leaves in the bowl of a food processor.
Seed the jalapeno half and cut into several pieces. Juice the limes to yield 2 or 3 tablespoons; add both to the food processor. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of the sunflower seeds. Pulse several times, until coarsely chopped, then stop to add the cheese to taste, crumbling it with your fingers as it falls into the bowl of the food processor.
With the motor running, slowly add the 1/2 to 3/4 cup of oil (depending on the desired pesto consistency). Transfer to a serving bowl; season with black pepper to taste.

Home / Articles / Data Risk Analysis: The Yahoo Example
Data Risk Analysis: The Yahoo Example
The cost of data breaches directly affects the cost-benefit analysis when companies are planning their budgets. Studies on the average and median costs of breaches can play a significant role in guiding this analysis. A study that reports these costs as being generally low, therefore, is likely to be cited as reason to deemphasize the importance of securing networks, databases, and all the sensitive information therein. While there have been a few of these recently, a new report by Deloitte Advisory Cyber Risk Services claims that businesses have been severely underestimating the total cost of cyber attacks; that between 75 and 95 percent of the costs aren't immediately apparent, only coming back to bite them later on. A recent article at CSOOnline does an excellent job of explaining and accounting for the disparities among the different studies. The immediate costs are things like consumer protection, breach notifications, legal fees, PR efforts, and the like. Down the line, however, additional losses may factor in: lost revenues and consumer trust, higher insurance premiums, security restructuring, and also a plunge in brand value.
A couple of scenarios in the Deloitte study showed a leap in total expenses from $59 million to nearly $1.7 billion, and $26 million to over $3.2 billion, when these other delayed factors came into play. Perhaps the clearest example of this, though, is the potential $1 billion drop in value for Yahoo due to its 2014 data breach. Brought to light last month, the incident now has Verizon, who had agreed to purchase Yahoo just before the news broke, was seeking a $1 billion discount in negotiations.
This story actually escalated late last week, as Verizon stated that it has a "reasonable basis" to believe the breach represents a sufficient material impact to allow them, currently in the midst of preliminary briefings from Yahoo, to withdraw from the deal completely. The withdrawal would be based on a material adverse clause in the deal, which allows the company to renege if an incident "reasonably can be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, results of operation or financial condition of the business." In this case, the potential financial loss would skyrocket from $1 billion to $4.23 billion—the total value of the original purchase.
On top of the lawsuits Yahoo will be facing, now there is even an online campaign to convince people to delete their accounts. Called 'Fight for the Future', this digital rights group is backed by Yelp (one of Yahoo's competitors) and is encouraging users to abandon the "sinking ship."
Ultimately, while every company will face their own situation in the event of a breach, the mire engulfing Yahoo right now should serve as a warning. Beyond the immediate remediation and technology costs, organizations need to consider other impactors during security analysis, and plan accordingly.
