Head games: Ben Simmons' future uncertain after playoff flop

PHILADELPHIA – Ben Simmons backed his way to the basket, spun around Danilo Gallinari for the easy look at the net — an uncontested layup, a dunk — and he passed. Passed the ball. Passed on the shot. Passed on the chance to tie the game.
Joel Embiid threw up his hands in disbelief. With a chance to tie Game 7 against Atlanta late in the fourth quarter, Simmons surrendered the chance to play postseason hero and fed the ball to Matisse Thybulle.
"I just assumed Gallo was coming over my back," Simmons said.
Simmons thought Gallinari would try to foul him — much as the Hawks did throughout the seven-game series victory to reach the Eastern Conference finals — and going to the line in the clutch was a risk the All-Star guard was not willing to take.
His free-throw shooting was the poison in the postseason that ultimately knocked out the top-seeded Sixers. Simmons shot 25-for-73 (34%) from the line in the playoffs and missed 27 alone against the Hawks.
Unacceptable numbers for any player, much less a former No. 1 draft pick with more than $140 million left on his contract. He can't shoot 3s (5-for-34 career), his free throws failed him and now Simmons is afraid to dunk. Coach Doc Rivers went from Simmons' most ardent supporter early in the playoffs to openly wondering about the guard's fate in Philly.
Simmons lost his shot, his confidence, and potentially his job in Philadelphia.
Rivers wasn't ready to rule out the return of the maligned guard if he's ready to put in offseason work.
"I'm very bullish on Ben, still," Rivers said Monday. "But there's work. Ben will be willing to do it and that's the key. Sometimes you have to go through stuff to see it and be honest with it. Obviously, what Ben just went through, I can't imagine that because he has so much greatness around him and all the things that he does."
His flashes of greatness — he is a three-time All-Star — are fleeting in the postseason.
Simmons did not attempt a shot in the fourth quarter in Game 2. He did the same in Games 4 through 7 — 0-for-0 in the final period. Not one single shot in the fourth over five playoff games.
"There's areas he can fix quickly, in my opinion, that will take him to another level," Rivers said. "I look at this as a great challenge but definitely a doable one."
Sixers guard Danny Green said Monday it was unfair that "everyone wants the narrative it's all Ben's fault."
"It's not just Ben. We all together win or lose," Green said. "He's a mentally tough kid, usually. We don't know what was going on. It happens with players. Ben has gone through quite a bit this year and it's not his fault that we lost."
Simmons' missed dunk opportunity that would have made it 88-all with 3:29 left gnawed at Embiid. Thybulle was fouled on the play and made 1 of 2.
"I'll be honest. I thought the turning point was when we, I don't know how to say it, but I thought the turning point was just we had an open shot and we made one free throw," Embiid said. "We missed the other and then they came down and scored. We didn't get a good possession on the other end and Trae (Young) came back and made a 3."
Embiid also blamed himself for a later turnover, but the MVP runner-up gamely carried the Sixers through the postseason while playing with a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Simmons had long been publicly coddled by former coach Brett Brown and Rivers — who went so far as to chide a reporter for asking why Simmons was playing in late-game situations — until his failures in the fourth ultimately sent him to the bench.
Simmons said "I love being in Philly" but the vitriolic reaction in the hours after the loss proved it doesn't love him back.
"Offensively I wasn't there," he said. "I didn't do enough for my teammates. There's a lot of things I need to work on."
Shaquille O'Neal said on TNT, "If he was in my locker room, I would have knocked his (butt) out."
Shaq's broader point was that it was about time Simmons stopped making excuses for his miserable play. Simmons said his free-throw woes were more mental than physical. At 24, Simmons seemed aware that a complete overhaul of his game may not happen in Philly — or anywhere.
"I am who I am. It is what it is," Simmons said. "The first thing I'm going to do is clear my mind and get my mental (health) right."
Green said it was a mistake that "people think Ben doesn't care."
"You can see in his play that he cares," Green said. "I think he might be a little afraid of certain things. But I think because of how his interviews go, he doesn't show much emotions. Believe it or not, he cares."
Simmons wouldn't be the first No. 1 pick sent out of Philly because of potential issues of the mind rather than mechanics. Markelle Fultz, the No. 1 pick of the 2017 draft, had his rookie season slowed by mental issues that resulted in a broken shot and an eventual trade to Orlando.
Simmons was an NBA All-Defensive first team selection and his size and strength should make him attractive to some team willing to take a flyer on a project with potential.
It's hard to see how that works next season in Philly.
REFERENDUM ON THE PROCESS
The Sixers' lengthy rebuild that started in 2013 and survived a 10-win season and 26- and 28-game losing streaks was planned with a big payoff at the end.
The No. 1 seed, the home-court edge and playing a Hawks team that fired its coach and didn't have a single All-Star wasn't enough to even get the 76ers to the East final.
About the only thing Sixers can trust is the second-round exit: Three of 'em in the last four seasons and a first-round sweep last year.
Tobias Harris wasn't worth his max contract and the bench was mostly a bust in the postseason. Rivers played 10 deep in Game 7 and some of his lineups were baffling at times when the Sixers needed their stars in the game.
Embiid rose to the level of one of the NBA's elite players but again was hampered by an injury that slowed him in the postseason. He's signed through the 2022-23 season but he's eligible for a "super max" deal that could pay him $191 million from 2023 through 2027. Could the Sixers really risk tying up that much money in an injury-prone center who would be 33 by the end of that contract?
Team president Daryl Morey gets his first big offseason to shake up the Sixers. Standing pat isn't an option and he's set to talk this week about his vision for the offseason — and what that means for Simmons.

Dortmund, Cowboys break Bundesliga, NFL COVID attendance records
Posted by TheTicketingBusiness
Borussia Dortmund has broken the Bundesliga attendance record amid COVID-19 after selling out of its 11,500 available tickets for the match against SC Freiburg on Saturday.
The figure was 1,500 more than the team's first home game of the season against Borussia Mönchengladbach at the 81,365-capacity Signal Iduna Park after Dortmund's city authorities gave the green light for additional places.
Borussia Dortmund season ticket holders and club members were able to purchase two tickets each for the match against Freiburg and must be resident in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Dortmund consistently have the highest average attendance in Europe each season, with the 2019-20 season seeing 81,154 fans at each game on average. The club sat above the Premier League's Manchester United, La Liga's FC Barcelona and its Bundesliga competitors Bayern Munich for average attendance.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt welcomed 8,000 fans in its match against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, while Stuttgart saw 9,500 fans at its game against Bayer Leverkusen. The lowest attendance was the just 300 that saw FC Koln versus Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Germany's current system of allowing fans into sports events permits stadiums to be up to 20 per cent full if the number of COVID-19 cases in the locality has been below 35 per 100,000 people in the previous seven days.
The model only applies to home fans and gives local authorities the final say, with options either to reduce capacity below 20 per cent or to exclude all supporters.
Seven of the nine Bundesliga games had fans present, with Bayern Munich still not allowed to host supporters and Werder Bremen told just 48 hours ahead of its game with Arminia Bielefeld that it would not be able to host fans due to a local spike.
The decision came two weeks after Werder hosted 8,400 fans for the visit of Hertha Berlin.
"We would like to apologise to our fans, partners and suppliers for the short notice. The current situation is a real challenge for everyone involved," said Werder's president, Dr. Hubertus Hess-Grunewald.
The German model is being studied by the Sports Technology Innovation Group (STIG) to see if it can be used in England.
The group, which was set up by the UK government last month, has made it a priority to see if Germany's approach could be adapted for English sport, with fans currently not allowed to attend any events after the government scrapped a plan to allow them to return on October 1.
The STIG's study will include the strategies that the German authorities use for public transport, as well as fans getting into and leaving stadiums.
The Dallas Cowboys welcomed a crowd of 25,021 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in its second home game of the season against the Cleveland Browns.
The crowd, which marked a record for the NFL post lockdown, accounted for 25 per cent of the 80,000-capacity stadium, which has space for more than 100,000 including standing room.
The Cowboys implemented COVID-safe policies including disinfecting surfaces, hand sanitiser stations canvassing the stadium, and touch-free mobile ticketing and concession payment. Tickets have been made available in pods to sit with family or friends, spaced at least six feet apart from the next closest pod. Masks are required except when actively eating or drinking.
In the Cowboys' win against the Atlanta Falcons in their home opener, a crowd of 21,708 was in attendance. During the 2019 season, the team saw an average attendance of 90,929 that led the NFL.
Elsewhere in the league, more than 6,000 fans watched the Cincinnati Bengals inside Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.
Six out of this weekend's 14 games did not welcome any fans. In addition, the Tennessee Titans were supposed to have approximately 7,000 fans, but postponed to a later date after eight members of the organisation tested positive for COVID-19 this week.

Every Fred Meyer I've ever visited has one of these indicators by the front doors. It's always very exciting when we get to see some of the blue, as we don't spend very many days per year below freezing in this part of Oregon.
I watched Eighth Grade at the Regal City Center Stadium 12, and Sorry to Bother You at the Laurelhurst. The Living Room Theater was where I watched Three Identical Strangers and Won't You Be My Neighbor was seen at the Hollywood Theater.
Portland is such a good movie theater town.
I highly recommend all of these movies. In fact, if these are the four movies you see this year, you will have done very well, movie-wise.

Q: Linking models in Ruby on Rails I"m building a Rails app, and there are two models that I want to connect.
There's a model called "users" that handles user authentication, e.g. username and password data. Then there's a model called "profiles" that has a person's location, description, etc, etc.
I want to link the models so that there's one profile per user.  I really don't know how to do this. Anyone mind sharing some insight on how this can be done?

A: take a look at rails associations basics
your asociation will look like
class User < AR:Base
  has_one :profile
end

class Profile < AR:Base
  belongs_to :user
end

oh, the table profiles must have a user_id column with the foreign key to the user.

A: You want a has_one and belongs_to association on your User model and your Profile model.  Your profile model will likely have a user_id column and will be the "belongs_to" relationship, while the User will have no column for the profile and will be the "has_one" relationship.
Then in your code you can do this:
profile = some_user.profile

or
user = some_profile.user

A: This sounds like a one-to-one association. Here's how you would set it up:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :profile
end

class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
end

Rails makes this kind of relationship super simple. :)
Make sure the Profiles table has a user_id column so this association will work.

St. Patrick's Day Irish Dance!
Time: Wed Mar 17, 2021, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Robert Black, originally from Long Island, New York, traces his introduction to Irish Dance to his dad who brought home a recording of Riverdance performed at Radio City Music Hall, a hallmark of the Irish renaissance of the 1990's. He began training at age three in the Hunt School before transferring to the An Rince (Rink-a) Mor School, competing as a solo dancer under Peggy White until age 16. After retiring from solo competition, Robert continued dancing in shows and was a member of the Notre Dame/Saint Mary's Irish Dance team, winning three All Ireland Championships in ceili dancing during his coaching tenure. Since moving to Ireland, Robert has pursued residencies with the Willie Clancy and South Sligo Summer Schools, and studied under Jean and Cara Butler, with whom he shares a common artistic ancestor in Jerry Mulvihill. Robert currently focuses on the social dances, namely ceili and set dancing, that still hold an important place in the dance halls of rural Ireland.

Gunmen kill APC LG chairman in Benue
Success Nwogu and John Charles
Unknown gunmen have killed the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in the Ohimini Local Government Area of Benue State, Mr Boniface Okloho.
It was learnt on Sunday that Okloho was killed on Saturday by yet-to-be-identified assailants.
He was said to have called and attended a meeting to intimate members of his party of the shift in the presidential and National Assembly polls.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, said the deceased was attacked while he was returning to his home after the meeting.
The source said, "What we leant was that Okloho had in the early hours of Saturday held a meeting with the party stakeholders to intimate them of the shift in the Presidential and National Assembly elections. But on his way home, he was shot and killed."
The Police Public Relations Officer, Benue State Command, Mr Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident.
He said the police had commenced full-scale investigation to unravel those behind the crime.
Meanwhile, the APC governorship candidate in Benue State, Emmanuel Jime, has condemned Okloho's assassination.
Jime, in a statement, expressed sorrow over the gruesome murder of the late party chieftain and sued for peace and brotherliness in the politics of the state.
He also called on the Benue State Government and security agencies to fish out the killers of Okloho, adding that the perpetrators must be brought to justice in order to serve as a deterrent to others, who might want to engage in politics of violence.

Jime stated, "I condemn in very strong terms this unnecessary politics of violence and bloodshed that has claimed the life of Okloho, our beloved brother and staunch member of our great party in Ohimini.
"Okloho was one of the very committed leaders of our party in Zone C and we regret that he lost his life in such a horrible circumstance in the service of his state and his party. May his gentle soul rest in peace."

No Clone Wars in Star Wars: Battlefront (for Now)
August 14, 2014 January 18, 2021 Philip Thalberg Star Wars: Battlefront
We've been keeping an eye on the development of DICE's much-hyped Star Wars: Battlefront ever since the first few crumbs of information surfaced in this respect and it has been becoming increasingly clear that the game – which is indeed shaping up as a truly monumental and epic effort – will only cover a small part of the Star Wars universe, namely the original trilogy and its locations. While this is by no means bad news, it does mean that there will probably be no Clone Wars lore elements in the game. The Clone Wars era earned no mentioning in the impressive E3 trailer presented by the developer, the locations the team has scouted and the LucasFilm museum that the visited this summer are also indicative of an original trilogy-only focus.
If anything, for the fans of the series, those awaiting the release of the title with bated breath, this is all good news though. Apparently, DICE are focused on fully capturing the magic of the Galactic Era for now, which never closes the door on the possibility of later additions through a DLC package. Since apparently the new Star Wars movie, Episode VII, currently being shot will have no significant tie-ins to the game either (despite its release date being obviously coordinated with that of the game), everything points to the fact that Battlefront will all be about nostalgia, and the near-perfect capturing of the glory-days of the franchise…and that is obviously more than OK with us…

Jani and I leave soon for New Horizon, followed by a few days of rest. Back around August 1st.
Thanks for checking in. God bless.
The Lord told Job's three "friends" that he was burning with anger against them because of what they had implied about him, the Lord, in their moralistic finger-pointing at Job. (As always, it was really about God.) Then he appointed Job their priest, to officiate over their repentance and to pray for them that the Lord would not deal with them according to their folly. And the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
The Lord included even the judgmental tormenters in his mercies. This too is part of "the perfect ending" in the final chapter of Job. It had to be there, for the glory of God's grace to offer hope to all.
If we would stop treating Sunday as a second Saturday, one more day to run to Home Depot, one more day for the kids' soccer games, if we would rediscover Sunday as The Lord's Day, focusing on him for one day each week, what would be the immediate impact between today and one year from today?
By one year from today, we will have spent 52 whole days given over to Jesus. Seven and a half weeks of paid vacation with Jesus.
He's a good King. Maybe we should put him first in our weekly schedules.
"[Grace is] my favourite word in the lexicon of the English language. It's a word I'm depending on. The universe operates by Karma, we all know that. For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. There is some atonement built in: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Then enters Grace and turns that upside down. I love it. I'm not talking about people being graceful in their actions but just covering over the cracks. Christ's ministry really was a lot to do with pointing out how everybody is a screw-up in some shape or form, there's no way around it. But then He was to say, well, I am going to deal with those sins for you. I will take on Myself all the consequences of sin. Even if you're not religious I think you'd accept that there are consequences to all the mistakes we make. And so Grace enters the picture to say, I'll take the blame, I'll carry the cross. It is a powerful idea. Grace interrupting Karma."
Bono, in U2 by U2, page 300.
Jeremiah Lanphier, Alone With Jesus, page 88.
Here is a competition where we can rightly fight for first place in line: in honoring one another. Not just tolerating one another, but honoring one another.
Every church should be a culture of honor. The gospel is all about honor replacing shame. Every Christian will be forever glorious with the glory of the risen Jesus: "To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 2:14). Let's see one another not as we are now but as we will be then. Our future glory makes Romans 12:10 an obvious thing to do.
It is also rare. Romans 12:10 might be the most ignored Scripture in our churches today, which are too often cultures of shaming rather than cultures of honoring.
But who wouldn't want to walk into church this next Sunday morning to a hero's welcome? And why not? We may not be the greatest Christians in the world. But by God's grace we didn't go apostate in a whole week.
"God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We however, says Peter (2 Peter 3:13), are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign. It suffices that through God's glory we have recognized the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day. Do you think such an exalted Lamb paid merely a small price with a meager sacrifice for our sins?"
Martin Luther, writing to Philip Melanchthon, 1 August 1521.
If I am not under grace but under law, then the burning issue in my life moment by moment is, Am I sinning?
If I am not under law but under grace, then the burning issue in my life moment by moment is, Am I forgiven?
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say "We've got some bad new, sir"
Our local deity is not Jesus. He goes by the name Jesus. But in reality, our local deity is Jesus Jr.
Our little Jesus is popular because he is useful. He makes us feel better while conveniently fitting into the margins of our busy lives. But he is not terrifying or compelling or thrilling. When we hear the gospel of Jesus Jr., our casual response is "Yeah, that's what I believe." Jesus Jr. does not confront us, surprise us, stun us. He looks down on us with a benign, all-approving grin. He tells us how wonderful we really are, how entitled we really are, how wounded we really are, and it feels good.
Jesus Jr. appeals to the flesh. He does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him. He is not able to understand them, much less impart them, because Jesus Jr. is the magnification of Self, the idealization of Self, the absolutization of Self turning around and validating Self, flattering Self, reinforcing Self. Jesus Jr. does not change us, because he is a projection of us.
It is time to tear down Jesus Jr. It is time to rediscover the real Jesus. Still today, even to us, his invitation stands: "Come to me" (Matthew 11:28).
"The flight from worldviews in the political realm corresponds to the general flight from meaning. In this area, as in personal life, 'objectives' have taken the place of ends, and aims the place of meanings. Only worldviews hold meaning . . . . Objectives, on the other hand, point to nothing; they respond to short-term necessities."
Chantal Delsol, Icarus Fallen, page 111.
1. The USA grew historically out of spiritual struggle. A longing for Christ in the hearts of the Pilgrim Fathers compelled them to risk all for him. A great beginning.
2. The USA embodies, very imperfectly, a conviction that every one of us has God-given dignity: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."
3. The USA has been blessed with the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, the revivals of 1858-59 and other movements of the Holy Spirit, converting many to Christ, growing churches and sending missionaries and money to the ends of the earth.
4. The "greatest generation" of the USA defeated tyranny at great personal cost. When in 1944 my grandfather, stationed in Tehran, got word that his son had died when his B-24 went down, grandpa could not come home to console the family. The war had to be fought. So he stayed put -- only the Lord knows how all-sufficient grace sustained him -- and he did his duty and won.
5. The USA falls so far short, we cannot lift our eyes to heaven for shame. But slapping my country down is not a redemptive response. I pray for my country, that the risen Christ would so pour out his Spirit again that the church will be cleansed and multitudes brought to Christ and our nation renewed. With God, there can be another great beginning.
"There are some things which are to be enjoyed, some which are to be used, and some whose function is both to enjoy and use. Those which are to be enjoyed make us happy; those which are to be used assist us and give us a boost, so to speak, as we press on towards our happiness. . . . But if we choose to enjoy things that are to be used, our advance is impeded and sometimes even diverted, and we are held back, or even put off, from attaining things which are to be enjoyed, because we are hamstrung by our love of lower things."
Augustine, De Doctrina Christiana, 1.7.
"God's goodness is near us. It is not a goodness far away, but God follows us with his goodness in whatever situation we are. He attaches himself to us, he has made himself close, that he might be near us in goodness. He is a father, and everywhere to maintain us. He is a husband, and everywhere to help. He is a friend, and everywhere to comfort and counsel. His love is a near love. He has taken upon himself the closest kinds of relationships, so that we may never lack God and the evidences of his love."
Richard Sibbes, Works, IV:196, paraphrased.
"[John's gospel] speaks in the clearest voice we have that sentence all humankind craves . . . : the Maker of all things loves and wants me. In no other book our culture possesses can we see a clearer graph of that need, that tall enormous radiant arc -- fragile creatures made by the Father's hand, hurled into space, then caught at last by a man in some ways like ourselves, though the ark of God."
Reynolds Price, Three Gospels, page 177.
"What is needed is something that cannot be explained in human terms. What is needed is something that is so striking and so signal that it will arrest the attention of the whole world. That is revival.
'Authenticate thy word. Lord God, let it be known, let it be known beyond a doubt, that we are thy people. Shake us!' I do not ask him to shake the building, but I ask him to shake us. I ask him to do something that is so amazing, so astounding, so divine, that the whole world shall be compelled to look on and say, 'What is this?' as they said on the day of Pentecost."

The example here describes a TableServer that keeps track of the name and address of people.
It consists of a Table object and two objects Producer and Consumer that both are subpatterned from BasicProcess.
The Producer listen on a Socket on port 3000 from new entries and the Consumer listen on a Socket on port 3001 for requests to lookup the name of a person.
The TablesServer is subpatterned from SocketSystem, which defines non-blocking sockets.
Compared to the simple sockets defined here, the accept and receive methods have an extra argument being the calling object and these methods suspend the caller if no object is trying to connect (accept) and if no data is available (receive).

Papabear,
OK, there's this particular artist that I got into an unmentionably bad event about a decade ago, about which she still has not let go of the grudge from such event and holds to it so dearly that an apology of any kind is never going to be accepted. Now I moved on for the most part from that incident, finding love, a life, and my own way, but the last string attached to that closet skeleton is that women's art. Strangely enough, I still enjoy it. But from a distance. I like it so much that I want to mimic her style. But getting references from someone who hates your guts and likewise is not that easy, though we stay out of each other's way for the most part. So to the point. Would learning to and being able to draw like her be considered plagiarism or imitation? Given imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I'd rather not have an army of lawyers come down on my head. So I'm a bit lost. What should I do?
Confused from Orlando
Dear Confused,
There is nothing wrong with learning to draw by imitating another artist's work, and you're not going to be sued just for doing that. Many artists learn how to draw by practicing this way. You will see a lot of furry artists whose work is reminiscent of Disney artists, or the work of Don Bluth, or the many anime creations out there, for example.
The only way you might be sued is if you create art that basically copies the other artist and then try to make money off of selling it, pretending it is her work. That is definitely a no-no. It is also copyright violation if you create a work that is not only very similar in style but also in content to the point that it looks like something the other artist would do and could easily be mistaken as such. In the 1992 Louisiana court case Mistretta v. Hunt et al. an artist created works based on Mardis Gras posters by another artist. The new works were so similar in style and content that they looked like the work of the other artist, and so it was ruled a copyright violation.
In your case, I would avoid copying characters she usually depicts. For instance, if she draws a lot of otters wearing swim trunks and sipping tropical drinks by a pool, you should avoid drawing things that are similar. In the court case above, the defendant not only emulated the artist's style, but also the Mardis Gras elements she commonly employed in her work. The other problem was that the defendant was trying to make money off these basically plagiarized paintings.
So, Rule #1: Do not attempt to make money off anything you draw that is strongly imitative of the other artist's work; and Rule #2: Do not emulate both the style and content of the other artist's work (art that imitates content but not style is typically called "fan art," and there is nothing wrong with that).
It is perfectly fine to gain experience and knowledge of drawing techniques by trying to draw like another artist does. As I said, many people do this. But, ideally, you should limit this to practice.
The other phenomenon about drawing practice is that, in most cases, you will find that after you have figured out how to draw well you will begin to develop your own style. Everyone has little quirks about themselves that lend uniqueness to their own work. You might also try experimenting with other media. Say she does work using spray ink pens and brush pens; you might try colored pencil instead, or maybe even acrylics or watercolors or cut paper. Each medium has different demands that will, of necessity, influence your style. In addition, try selecting not only art by this particular artist, but also pick two or three other artists that you enjoy and try drawing like them for a while.
Force yourself out of your comfort zone a bit, experimenting as you go, and you will eventually develop a style all your own.

The Singapore Journal of Legal Studies has been in continuous publication since 1959 when it first appeared as the University of Malaya Law Review. Institutional changes made it necessary for the Journal to be re-named twice, first as the Malaya Law Review and then Singapore Journal of Legal Studies. Together with its predecessor journals (the University of Malaya Law Review and the Malaya Law Review), the Journal is one of the oldest legal journals in the British Commonwealth. As the first and leading legal journal in Singapore, it has witnessed the legal, political and social development of Singapore as it progressed from being a Third World country to a First World country. The Journal has traced the development of common law in Asia, particularly, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Journal covers both domestic and international legal developments. Singapore, as an independent legal system founded on the English legal system, continues to draw guidance from the common law authorities of leading Commonwealth countries, including England, Australia and Canada, and occasionally from the United States of America. Since the inception of the Singapore Journal of International and Comparative Law (1997) and then its successor, the Singapore Year Book of International Law (2005), the Journal has focused on legal developments in Singapore, Asia and the common law world.
The Journal publishes articles on private and public international law as well as comparative law. It features topics with theoretical or practical appeal or a mixture of both. The Journal continues to interest lawyers, academics and observers in and outside the common law world. Indeed, it has been cited by leading common law courts such as the House of Lords, the Supreme Court of Canada, the High Court of Australia, the High Court of Malaysia and the Supreme Court of Singapore.
The Journal is a faculty-managed publication with its Editorial Committee drawn from the Law Faculty of the National University of Singapore with advice from eminent legal personalities from other institutions in Singapore and abroad. It is fully peer-reviewed under conditions of anonymity by subject specialists within and outside the Law Faculty of the National University of Singapore.
Past articles published in the journal continue to be found useful by judges. Citations by the Singapore courts in 2018 and 2019 include:

A new record: 4.1 million visits in 2020! January 8, 2020:
In 2020, we received 4.1 million visits -- up more than 50% from 2019. It's good!
The whole Malayalam Bible January 7, 2021:
We just added more books to our Malayalam Bible translation, including most of the prophets and the whole New Testament. We have a lot of Malayalam readers, so this should be a very useful addition! Here's a link to it.
More news on the music front... December 29, 2020:
For a long time, we've wanted to make links for our Bible readers to listen to music that relates to what they're reading. We've finally gotten to that point in our project work list... so we're rolling it out. If, for example, you're reading Isaiah 9, you'll see a blue music icon that offers you some music that relates to the text there, "For unto us a child is born". Here's a < a>. You can listen while you browse!
Music! December 21, 2020:
We've gathered some great Christmas music. You can listen while you browse! Here's a link to it. Hope you enjoy it!
Zulu. Our newest user interface option. December 7, 2020:
We've just deployed a Zulu user interface, thanks to a lot of help from our New Christian friends in South Africa. Here's a link to it, showing Swedenborg's great exegetical work, Arcana Coelestia, translated as Izimfihlakalo Zezulu.
What's really charitable?... French readers can find out. November 27, 2020:
We just processed and imported a new-to-us French translation of "de Charitate", or "About Charity", a Latin work of Swedenborg's that he wrote in 1766, but left in draft form. It's interesting. One running theme is that a big part of charity is doing one's job honestly, justly, and faithfully. Here's a link.
Hi, we're hoping you like our user interface updates! November 24, 2020:
Well, if you've been following along at home... you've probably noticed that we're on a streamlining-the-user-interface kick. We're using more icons and less text. Navigation is getting more consistent. Menus are getting shorter. Layouts are getting cleaner. And... after some wrestling, pages are faster, too! Stay tuned; more's coming.
For logged in users, a new view... November 19, 2020:
Some super-studious users have wanted a way to keep a list of cross-links to Swedenborg's Bible exegesis open, while they do research, looking back and forth. So... we just added a way to do it. If you're logged in with a user account, and you're on a Bible page, you get a button that will let you toggle into this three-column view.
Word/Phrase Explanation UI October 30, 2020:
One thing that users have been asking for has been a better interface for seeing word/phrase explanations from the Bible text. So, we worked on that - and now we've enabled explanation intros that pop up when you hover over the highlighted word. You can get a quick look at the meaning behind the text without much interruption. If you want to read more, you can just click the highlighted word in the Bible text, and get a fuller explanation.
Even More Psalms Commentary October 30, 2020:
Here are 4 more new commentaries for Psalms 34-37, from Rev. Julian Duckworth. These are really a help; there are so many psalms that they can seem like a blur, but Julian's research and thoughtful approach makes them, well, approachable! Here's a link!
Genesis 30: the Land of Goshen October 29, 2020:
We just posted a good chapter summary for Genesis 46, by Helen Kennedy. It's the story of Joseph settling his family in the Land of Goshen. The literal story has lists of names of Joseph's brothers and their descendants, but - of course - the story has an inner meaning for us that's helpful. Here's a link!
Fixing, fixing... October 21, 2020:
One of the challenges of having SOOO much text online is that it sometimes has mistakes in it, or cross-links that didn't get made. We've been on a small text-cleaning binge, e.g. fixing links in John Elliott's English translation of Arcana Coelestia, and in Risto Rundo's translation of the same work into Serbian, and in other translations in Japanese, German, Czech, Spanish, and French. Many thanks to the New Christian scholars around the world who help us "crowd-source" this effort!
More Psalms Commentary October 14, 2020:
We just posted more new chapter commentaries for Psalms 17-26, from Rev. Julian Duckworth. People are really liking these! Here's a link!
Nebeske Tajne is online! October 11, 2020:
Swedenborg's great exegetical work, Arcana Coelestia, from the 1750's, describes the inner meaning of the books of Genesis and Exodus. The late Rev. Risto Rundo, a Swedenborgian scholar and theologian, translated it into Serbian. We got permission to use it, and hyperlink it, and... here it is! It's far from perfect (we've had a hard time getting our text processing routines to work with this text), but it's good enough to be useful, and it's online, (and we'll keep fixing links and formatting.) Zdravo Svete!
We have a new Tagalog UI October 8, 2020:
There are more than 30 million Tagalog speakers in the Philippines, and around the world. And... we get a lot of visitors who come to read the Bible in a Tagalog translation. So, we made a user interface for them, too. Courtesy of our friend Luri - thank you! Here's a link.
Now in app stores: "Swedenborg Reader" October 7, 2020:
The new version of the "Swedenborg Reader" app from the New Christian Bible Study is available now in Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store! If you want to be able to read and search Swedenborg's works on your phone or tablet, when you DON'T have a reasonable web connection, this is the way! You can read, listen, print, share, cite... lots of good new features. Hope you try it, and like it! Here's a link.
New Psalms Commentary September 30, 2020:
We just posted new chapter commentaries for Psalms 31, 32, and 33, from Julian Duckworth. The explanations are good; we think you'll get new, useful insights from them. Here's a link!
Chinese Translation of Arcana Coelestia Hits Halfway Mark September 29, 2020:
We just marked up and imported a Chinese translation of volume 6 (of 12!) of "Arcana Coelestia". It contains Swedenborg's explanations of the internal meaning of chapters 32-38 of Genesis. Here's a link to the place where the latest installment of 属天的奥秘 begins.
Here's a Dutch invitation September 18, 2020:
Swedenborg penned a brief (for him) "Invitatio" to the New Church, in 1771, near the end of his publishing career. It's a useful overview of New Christian thought. We just posted a Dutch translation of it, by Anton Zelling, here: Uitnodiging tot de Nieuwe Kerk.
The Gospel of Mark. Explained. September 10, 2020:
Last week, we published chapter commentaries for the Gospel of Matthew. This week, we've readied Ray Silverman's explanations of the Gospel of Mark. We're getting good feedback on these; people are finding them to be really useful. Here's a link to Mark chapter 1, side by side with its explanation.
Eight Songs. Lots of Food for Thought. September 10, 2020:
We're really pleased to bring you commentaries from Rev. Julian Duckworth on the inner meaning of 8 more Psalms. Here's a link to Psalm 9 with its commentary.
Site Traffic's Up Again September 10, 2020:
Today, we surpassed the 350,000 visits/month rate, up 49% from this time last year!
Life. Guidance. In Spanish! September 10, 2020:
This morning, we took another step towards having a good working set of Spanish translations of everything. Here's an updated translation of Swedenborg's work, "Doctrine about Life""Doctrina de Vida para la Nueva Jerusalén".
The Apocalypse. Explained. September 10, 2020:
Way back in 1758, Emanuel Swedenborg, one of history's great Bible scholars, picked up his quill pen and started to explain the internal sense of the "Book of Revelation". In 1759, he left off with this 5 volume manuscript, and turned to other work. Later, he came back to "Revelation", rewrote his exegesis of it, and published "Apocalypse Revealed", in two Latin volumes, in 1766. After Swedenborg's death in 1772, his heirs and readers published many of his works that had been left in manuscript, including "Apocalypsis Explicata". It's been translated into English at least twice. We just cleaned up John Whitehead's translation of it, fixing hundreds of problems that were lingering from our first attempt to mark it up for online use.
New! Gospel of Matthew Commentary. September 3, 2020:
We're having a big week. We just posted chapter summary explanations for each chapter in the Gospel of Matthew. They're by Rev. Dr. Ray Silverman, the editor of "Light in My Darkness", by Helen Keller, and the author of "Rise Above It", a popular multi-faith spiritual guidebook. Here's a link to Matthew chapter 1, side by side with Ray's explanation of it, and of course you can navigate from there!
Coming now to theaters near you... more explanations of the Psalms. September 2, 2020:
We've been posting chapter-level commentaries on the inner meaning of the Psalms. We just got more new ones from Rev. Julian Duckworth, for Psalms 51-58, and 76-83. They're very good! Here's a link to Psalm 51 with its commentary.
Do Zulu speakers want to understand Genesis? August 31, 2020:
If they do, we can help! We just posted another chunk of Swedenborg's Genesis exegesis, translated into Zulu by friends in South Africa. Here's a link to "Izimfihlakalo Zezulu ", translated by Zamokhule T. Zungu.
Do Serbo-Croatian speakers want Bračna Ljubav? August 27, 2020:
We shall see... we're pretty sure that some will! We just imported a Serbian translation of "Bračna Ljubav". It's a book about the wonderful potential for love in marriage, by Swedenborg, written in 1768. The introduction to this translation is quite beautiful; we want to get it translated into many languages, too. Here's a link to "Bračna Ljubav".
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms - Latin text August 26, 2020:
Our Latin sweep continues with the posting of a revised text of "Summaria Expositio Sensus Interni Librorum Propheticorum Verbi Veteris Testamenti, Necnon Et Psalmorum Davidis". In this 1761 work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of the Prophetical Books from Isaiah to Malachi, the Psalms, and the first 16 chapters of Genesis. This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is largely consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. Here's a link to it.
Doctrine of Life in Swedish August 19, 2020:
We just imported another Swedish translation, "Levernes-lära för Nya Jerusalem". It's one of four short works by Swedenborg in 1763 that focus on what the Bible says about Life, Faith, the Lord, and the Sacred Scripture. In English, the title is, "Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem". It's a translation by C. J. N. Manby from 1918, and it's online and hyperlinked for the first time, a mere 102 years later! Here's a link to it, side by side with the original Latin text.
The Inner Meaning of Genesis and Exodus - in German! August 5, 2020:
Every time we mark up and import a translation of "Arcana Coelestia" in a new language, it's a big milestone. And... now we have just posted a German one! It's an update of the 1867 Basel edition (J.F.I. Tafel's translation), edited by Dr. Friedemann Horn, and published by Swedenborg Verlag in Zurich, in 1998.
New Commentary on the Psalms. July 28, 2020:
We've started posting chapter-level commentaries on the inner meaning of the Psalms. They're coming in batches. We have them for Psalms 1-8, and 26-29 so far. Here's a link to Psalm 5 with its commentary.
Doctrine about Faith, Online in Japanese! July 28, 2020:

Since the early nineties, for most Russians Tarhun is synonymous with a delicious, bright green, refreshing lemonade, flavoured with the herb tarragon. Introduced to the mass market in 1981, when Russia was still part of the Soviet Union, the story goes that Tarhun and Baykal - the most popular lemonades in Russia - were developed for the Moscow Olympic Games as an alternative to Coke and Pepsi. At the time, most American products were banned in Russia as America had boycotted The Games. Let your creativity blossom with this new iconic flavour.
Bright green colour, slightly cloudy.
Freshly cut nose, strong and refreshin taste of moddled tarragon leaves, long-lasting aftertaste with some aniseed notes.
Once again, MONIN has launched an amazing flavour: Tarragon! This herb is really versatile and can be used in various applications. The aniseed aftertaste adds a sensational touch to many recipes. I love using it with berries such as strawberries, raspberries or blackcurrants but it also goes well with citrus fruits, cucumber and even tomato juice. One of my favourite applications is to mix it as a long drink, with MONIN Strawberry purée, gin, cranberry juice and a splash of soda water. Try it your way, and I guarantee you'll be an instant fan!

Q: Line wrapping in a TextCell within an extensible window Bug introduced in V9 or earlier and persisting through V11.3.

[...] I sent your comments and my test results to developers for analysis.
  I do not know when a correction for this will be available. [...]
CASE:3838364

I need TextCell as it allows for TextJustification etc etc. Now, take a look:
content = Panel[
  TextCell @ "test test test test test test test test test"
, ImageSize -> {100, 100}
]

MessageDialog[content, WindowSize -> {All, All}]

MessageDialog[content]

So the dialog with WindowSize -> {All, All} breaks line wrapping. Additionally, default buttons are missing.
Is this a bug? Can I fix that still having WindowSize -> {All, All} and a TextCell? I don't want automatic or fixed window size but to allow the content to dictate the size.

The Story behind the Beans
Our Coffee comes from Single Estate, organically grown coffee beans sourced from Costa Rica & Nicaragua.
Founder Tony Cox traveled to over 35 countries in the pursuit of a successful swimming career and discovered something much more meaningful along the way – the amazing tastes from different beans, roasts and brews. For the past six years, Tony has been studying, sipping and learning to roast and brew with various techniques. He has refined a process to create the perfect, residue-free cold brew coffee that is conveniently ready when you are.
We are a unique pairing of herbal love, beans and buds. We strive to help heal through continual innovation and education.
Innovate: Working with cutting edge technology, we work to provide the best, most bio-available ingredients. It is important to us that we not compromise the integrity of mother nature.
Educate: Knowledge is power and in this rapidly growing market we are continually educating ourselves and sharing that knowledge with our consumers in the most transparent way possible. They can come to us; we can help.
Heal: Good health is at the forefront of our purpose. Not just human health, but our community and planet as well. It is our responsibility to use our knowledge, connections and resources to heal this world.
Our Product Philosophy: Using a holistic foundation we work with powerful superfoods. Our foundation is Coffee and our salve is Cannabinoids Extracted from Hemp. We focus on putting the least number of ingredients possible in every product.
Our hemp is sourced from Oregon. At 15mg per ml, all dosages are measured with nano technology. Bākt Koffee uses an emulsification method from hemp derived oil to create & bring to market the 1st transparent educational experience. Resulting in a tasteless cannabinoid liquid soluble infusion.
Bākt
A portion of proceeds from Bākt Koffee products is given to our non-profit Bākt Kause. We created this foundation to educate consumers and resolve issues associated with narcotic incarceration, homelessness and transportation.
Single-Estate Organically Farmed
The beautiful mountainsides of Costa Rica are filled with coffee, coffee and more coffee! Traveling to this magnificent country often, Tony is very excited to be working toward the future with Costa Rican coffee beans.
The locally supported family farm in Nicaragua is the source of Bakt Koffee's flavorful beans. The Reyes family and Tony were introduced by a mutual friend in the spring of 2017. An immediate bond ensued between Jose and Josh Reyes and Tony after only a couple of meetings. Tony eventually traveled to their farm and was overwhelmed by the beauty of Reyes La Finca.

Although it will take a while for the full effect of the 2017 tax reform to kick in, U.S. state and local government tax revenue climbed to $350.2 billion in the first quarter of 2018, a rise of 5.8 percent compared with the same time period in 2017. Individual income tax collections had big gains for a second-straight quarter with a 12.8 percent increase to $107.4 billion in 2018's first quarter.
The fallacy that "deficits rise" has nothing to do with tax cuts, but with increases in government spending on top of the tax cuts.
The mistake of pointing at deficits as proof that tax cuts don't work is debunked by looking at the proposals of the same economists that argue against tax cuts. Economist Paul Krugman is one example. He argued against tax cuts in his New York Times article "Time to Borrow" after the Obama administration increased debt by $10 trillion. These demand-side economists defend deficit spending, yet consider tax cuts as negative … because deficits may increase. Only Keynesian economists manage to pull off such mindbending logic.
While analyzing the deficits of the G-20 economies during the past 15 years, we found that more than 80 percent come from higher spending. Even in the 2008-2010 crisis, European government deficits were explained more by the "stimulus" plans and government spending increases than any loss of revenues.
Spain, for example, lost 40 billion euros of tax revenues from the bursting of the real estate bubble but deficits rose by 300 billion euros, driven by stimulus and automatic "stabilizers." The European Union spent almost 1.5 percent of its GDP on stimuli and increased taxes, sending deficits and debt to GDP to all-time highs. The United States increased taxes by $1.5 trillion under the Obama administration but the average deficit was 5 percent of GDP. The final tally was a $10 trillion increase in national debt.
During the Obama administration and the massive expansionary monetary policies of three rounds of quantitative easing (QE) and ultra-low interest rates, economic growth on average was only 1.4 percent and 2.1 percent if we exclude the crash year of 2009. That compares to an average of 3.5 percent during the Reagan administration, 3.9 percent during Clinton's, and 2.1 percent during Bush Jr.'s.
The 2018 "Economic Report of the President" shows that tax cuts generated more federal revenues even after adjusting for inflation and population growth.
President John F. Kennedy's major tax cut, which included chopping the top marginal rate to 70 percent from 91 percent, became law in early 1964. The economy grew at an average 5.5 percent, and unemployment fell to 3.8 percent. In turn, the annual deficit shrank to $1 billion from $7 billion as individual income-tax receipts nearly doubled.
President Ronald Reagan cut the top personal rate from 70 percent all the way down to 28 percent. Between 1982, when the first round of Reagan's across-the-board tax cuts went into effect, and 1990, when President George H.W. Bush broke his no-new-taxes pledge, individual tax receipts jumped 57 percent to $467 billion.
And even President Bill Clinton's budget surpluses didn't materialize until after the president in 1997 signed a GOP tax bill that cut the capital-gains rate to 20 percent from 28 percent. Tax receipts from capital gains soared as capital investment more than tripled. Between 1996 and 2000, "the increase in capital gains revenues accounted for a little over 20 percent of the total increase in federal revenues," former Treasury official Bruce Bartlett said. For the first time, individual tax receipts hit $1 trillion.
After President George W. Bush in 2003 signed the largest tax cut since Reagan - including dropping the top marginal rate to 35 percent from 39.6 percent - government receipts from individual income taxes rose from $794 billion to a peak of $1.2 trillion in 2007, when the mortgage crisis began - a jump of 47 percent.
In 2012, Hungary implemented a 16 percent flat tax. Tax revenues soared 7.6 percent despite a decline in GDP of 1.6 percent. In its 2016 report, the OECD showed that the key to Hungary's recovery was its tax system.
Ireland cut taxes to corporates to 12.5 percent from 50 percent and reduced the value-added tax, and tax revenues soared 67 percent. Between 2010 and 2017, Ireland's tax revenues increased 21 percent and thanks to an attractive tax policy, Ireland is one of the few Eurozone countries that left the crisis with growth, lower unemployment and cutting deficits. Because spending did not soar.
Giving back citizens and job creators part of their own money, so consumption and productive investment continue to improve is not just economic logic - it is the right thing to do.


Has anyone actually used the Kinect for fitness purposes?
If so, which games are the best?
I'm particularly interested in Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, since it was created by the publisher behind Men's Health and Women's Health magazines. Men's Health has pretty good fitness tips, so I'm wondering if that expertise translates to the game.
Has anyone played Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, or any of its competitors?

Everything was great until the plane from chch to Melbourne arrived late. Also the pies from the Iflight menu from the nternational flight were $10. Too expensive as it was an ordinary one. There was no relish just one satchel of watties tomatoes sauce and oñly just warm. Very disappointing.
All my flights were with Virgin Australia and I highly recommend it! Awesome airline with very good service. I got allowance to check in 2 x 23 kg bags in all flights except for the last one (which I thought was weird and cost me AUD $130 extra), but apart from that, it all was simply EXCELLENT!
Gates for departure were a bit strange, we were at one then shifted to another then driven around in a bus, not straight to the plane.
No complaints, would have been nice to be offered a meal on the plane and would be happy to pay for it.
Big disappointment regarding long delay of this flight.
Dissatisfied that the prices shown when booking multiply with taxes and surcharges.

AJL squatting on prime Mumbai plot?
Amidst the raging controversy over the National Herald case, the plot allotment of a Mumbai land to Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), the parent company of the now-defunct paper, has come under scanner.
The government had allotted the land to AJL in 1983 for the construction of a newspaper office, a library and a research centre. However, the company has not completed construction of its complex even after three decades.
Sources said that over the years, the then Congress government gave several extensions to AJL to complete the construction, but in vain.
RTI activist Anil Galgali has alleged that the status of the land was converted from residential to commercial in 2004, and now a commercial building was being built on the land.
"An 11-floored building is being constructed on the Bandra plot owned by AJL. The government had given the land to AJL in 1983 so that a library and a research centre could be constructed. However, no construction has took place on the land since the last 30 years," Galgali said.
According to sources, the BJP has asked the BMC to take back the land owing to the irregularities.
Congress leaders, including President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul have been summoned by a Delhi court on December 19 on a complaint by BJP's Subramanian Swamy against them, for alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds in taking control of the now-defunct newspaper.
