Sherlock - The Final Problem
Mary Entry, My Dear Watson
Sherlock 4.3 - The Final Problem
UK Airdate: 15th January 2017 BBC 1
Warning: Some slight spoilerage here.
Oh rats. This is absolutely not the review I wanted to be writing today, in the wake of last night's season finale of Sherlock. The show has been a bit hit and miss since it first started and there's usually one clunker per series but... yeah, The Final Problem isn't good. In fact, I would go as far to say that it's not only the worst episode of this series... it's the worst of all four series. Not a good one at all and, ultimately for me, very disappointing.
Okay... so was fully expecting the re-entry of Mary Watson into the plot this week. Perhaps a continuation of her back story thread and how it was, maybe, intertwined with Moriarty and Euros Holmes but... nope. She has a brief cameo where she enters the show via another video clip at the end and I mention this here purely to justify the title of this blog post. I was going to be using this title whether she reappeared or not, you see... I didn't want to waste it. Alas, my ideas at the continuation of her storyline seem almost blown out of the water... up to a point.
And that point is... I'm now forced to give up on the idea that Molly Hooper was behind everything. The Molly-arty figure, so to speak. Alas, she remains a footnote in the lives of Holmes and Watson and I think that's a waste of a great character and, indeed, a great actress. In fact, the entire episode seemed a waste of great actors and actresses, to be honest, because if there's one thing you couldn't fault here... perhaps the only thing... it's the quality of the acting from all the usual suspects in this. So Cumberbatch, Freeman, Gatiss etc were all exceptional in this one... they just didn't do very well as characters, I would say. I know the plot was dealing with things from childhood but I don't think they had to make all the dialogue that childish. Also... it all seemed a bit too theatrical and cypherish, to me. Which is a shame.
On that subject, though, the one member of the cast who really won out in all this stuff was, in fact, the wonderful Louise Brealey in her one scene here as Molly Hooper. She played it in such a way that you really wanted to know what kind of day she'd been having and why she was responding like she was. It was a brilliant scene and pretty moving and her performance made you wonder why the heck the rest of the characters hadn't been written as well as that this time around. This scene between her and Sherlock, at least her side of it, seemed to be the only 'real' and moving thing happening in the entire show, to be honest.
On the subject of Mary Watson... well there's room for another series in a few years if they decide to go down that route and it would be a fairly simple matter, I would have thought, to bring her back into the role. Of course, the split between Amanda Abbington and Martin Freeman probably makes that highly unlikely now but, I'm certainly not going to rule that one out yet. Especially since I want to know who mailed the P.S. DVD she'd recorded at the end of the episode.
Okay, so there was a lot not to like in this and I really don't want this to turn into a laundry list of complaints. Especially since I'm still really keen on the series and most of the people I know have now given up entirely on it and haven't even bothered with Series Four. I still think it's a good show and, honestly, one really bad episode out of three is not too bad an average, is it?
Okay... so things like the absurd skill at reprogramming people that Sherlock's sister has really does go into the realms of fantasy. Yeah, I know there are real life precedents for this kind of thing but they really whacked this up to the Nth degree here. On the other hand, Sherlock is pretty much an invincible breed of super science hero and, maybe it's fitting that his latest nemesis also has super powers of her own, so to speak.
There's also the question, by way of an example of shoddy 'run through the wet paint before someone sees you' writing issues inherent in this week's installment, of why Sherlock, Mycroft and Watson would feel the need to break into the compound in which Sherlock's sister, Euros Holmes, is supposedly imprisoned when Mycrioft pretty much outranks the top brass there anyway. If they suspected the lunatics were already running the asylum then they should surely be better prepared for what was waiting for them. If they weren't then... why the heck would they break in there in the first place? They could just walk in with authority over everyone there. So, yeah, taking the time to prove that security is lax seems a bit of a stretch of an excuse to show those kinds of action scenes here, methinks.
But all this, however, is distracting me away from one of the main reasons why I had a hard time with the episode.
It was dull.
Simple as that. I kept checking my watch to see how long we had to go because it was dragging. There were no interesting plot twists or developments and even the media induced enhancements were few and far between and certainly didn't add much when you noticed them. About the only little clever thing I did like was the shot of the ashes from Musgrove Hall continuing to rain down on Mycroft in Sherlock's study at the aftermath of his story... quite liked that nice little touch but there just wasn't enough of this kind of inventiveness, I felt, in this episode. I got quite bored by the end of this one.
So there you have it. The Final Problem was not much of a series finale and, from what I understand, I'm not alone in that conclusion. I was actually going to part with some cash in a week or two to buy the complete series blu ray coming out next week but, after seeing this clumsy nightmare of an episode, I'm not sure I'd want to after the disappointment of that climax. I'm still hoping that we'll get another series in a few years' time (preferably with lots of Mary and Molly in it) but for now... well... I'm kinda glad they're all taking a break from it, to be honest.

Lenten Hall Antiques - Location & Premises: Lenten Pool, Denbigh, North Wales, UK. LL16 3LG.
The building was constructed in 1915-16 by James Hughes, architect of Denbigh, former assistant of the County Surveyor Richard Lloyd Williams. The building itself has been used by St. Mary's Church for many years as the Church Institute building. It is now a Grade (ii) Listed Building; listed for its special interest as a well-designed early Perpendicular-style former Church Institue in a prominent town-center location. If you want a closer look we'd be happy to show you round!

We will ensure that you have guest list entry to a wide variety of the most popular bars around - all centrally located so that you can move from one to the next at ease.

I make my sculptures or assemblages from found objects and assemble them into a new form.Something that appears organically cohesive, ripe with meaning. This piece is from my STAUROLATRY series that explores the study or worship of the cross. People may see this image and think I'm anti-religious. Nothing could be further from the truth. I discovered recently that I am related to St. Kieran. I feel deeply the pain and suffering of mankind, and ask why people believe what they do. This sculpture relates to the Indian form of storytelling through the totem pole. One side shows the organic, and the other is bio-mechanical. What does it say to you?


When Luther was excommunicated (banned from the Church), he also was forbidden to take Holy Communion. Open your Small Catechism or go on line to Part VI, Luther's teaching on Holy Communion. According to Luther, what are the gifts that come with Holy Communion? Who has a right to receive it? Look for key words that describe this part of the Christian experience.
What is the biggest trial you have faced in your life? What did you learn from your trial? Where was God in your trial? If you faced it again, would you act in a different way based on what you know now?
Act out the scene on the cover. But first, it is the night before Luther's trial at Worms. He is alone in his cell. His friends sneak into the room to find him praying. What should he do tomorrow? If he backs down, he may go home free. If he doesn't back down, he could be burned at the stake. What should he do? What do you tell him? How does he answer?
(Name), Child of God, may God's Word live forever in your heart. Amen.

Issa Rae partners up with Inglewood coffee shop
Erykah Rose
Issa Rae has signed up to become co-owner and partner in a new location of Hilltop Coffee and Kitchen, which is based in Inglewood, California.
"I've always wanted a coffee shop in my neighborhood," Rae says in an Instagram video. "Coffee shops facilitate productivity in so many ways, they facilitate collaboration. I personally have done all of my writing in coffee shops. So it always disappointed me that there weren't any that were Black-owned, people of color-owned in my neighborhood."
As well as coffee, the Inglewood Hilltop has a full food menu with sandwiches, toasts, bowls, and other dishes, served in a 3,500-square foot, two-story space per LA Mag.
Co-founders Ajay Relan and Yonnie Hagos are partners with Rae at the shop, which reportedly resides next to Inglewood City Hall and Stevie Wonder's radio station, KJLH.
Rae became a New York Times best-selling author with her memoir "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl" – named after her career-launching YouTube series. The series was then adapted to television by way of Rae's HBO series, Insecure.
"I'm doing what I love, and that is never lost on me. Even when I'm in my most frustrated moments, I'm like, 'There's always a silver lining.' My general vibe is grateful, happy," said in an interview with Glamour magazine last year.
"You almost feel guilty, though. Not to discredit depression—you know I applaud people for being able to come out and be like, 'I am sad, I am depressed'—but part of me feels guilty for being happy and OK."

A terrifying trio of occult tales erupts in Dark Horse Comics' Hellboy Winter Special
Jeff Spry
Tag: Mike Mignola
Crossing safely into our boundaries from the beloved Mignolaverse, Dark Horse Comics is providing a late holiday gift on Jan.15, long after the Christmas tree is recycled and relatives' well-meaning presents are packed away, in the form of the annual Hellboy Winter Special — and SYFY WIRE has an exclusive expanded look inside its numerable enchantments.
This time the yearly one-shot is pulling double duty, not only to tell its own trio of macabre tales spawned from the fantastical underworld, but also to set up the newest Mignolaverse miniseries spinoff arriving in April and regally titled The Last Knight of St. Hagan.
Three spooky occult stories are bound up in this 30-page Hellboy Winter Special one-off to ring in the new year with, showcasing a phantom miser existing in an alternate reality, a terrifying taste of the Boogam of rural New York, and an eerie encounter with the rage of St. Hagan.
Hellboy's Mike Mignola pens the first story, titled "The Miser's Gift" and paired with art by Mark Laszlo. The second, "The Longest Night," follows 19th-century paranormal sleuth Sarah Jewell and is written by Chris Roberson and matched with illustrations courtesy of Leila del Luca. Lastly, "The Beast of Ingleheim" spotlights the legendary Knights of St. Hagan and arrives from writer Scott Allie, injected with intense art by Andrea Mutti.
Mignola has a warm spot in his heart for his headless armored hero and the band of brave warriors who carry his noble name.
"I introduced the Knights of St. Hagan years ago for the Hellboy story 'In the Chapel of Moloch,'" Mignola tells SYFY WIRE. "They were my stand-in for any number of mysterious orders like the Knights Templar (I like to make up my own guys so nobody can tell me that I got my history wrong). They only get a brief mention there, but I did establish they were named for a crusader 'who, though decapitated, fought at the fall of Acre in 1289.' And when you make up something like that, you just know there are more stories to tell."
Now head into our preview of Dark Horse's Hellboy Winter Special (Jan. 15) in the gallery below, joined by a series of intriguing character sketches from artist Andrea Mutti, and a sneak peek at the mock-up cover for The Last Knight of St. Hagan #1, which lands in comic shops on April 15.

Storyline: Whilst crossing a ledge, 4000 feet above the earth, Gabe's friend's equiptment fails to work and she slips out of his hand, falling to the ground. Almost a year later, Gabe is asked to go back to the same mountain range and rescue a group of 'stranded' people. The only catch is that these so called 'stranded' people are infact looking for three boxes filled with $100,000,000 and they need mountain ranger to lead them to them!!


BOSTON -- Rick Middleton raised his No. 16 to the TD Garden rafters Thursday night, nearly three decades after playing his final game with the Bruins.
Middleton, nicknamed "Nifty," spent 12 seasons with the black and gold from 1976 to 1988, scoring 402 goals and totaling 898 points. The right wing ranks third in goals and fourth in points in Bruins history.
"I've had four months to think about it, and I hate repeating myself, but honestly, I believe it is the biggest honor that certainly a retired athlete can get in his career," the 64-year-old Middleton said before the Bruins faced the New York Islanders.
The Bruins announced in July that Middleton's number would be the 11th retired by the team, the first since longtime forward and current Bruins president Cam Neely's No. 8 was hoisted to the rafters in 2004.
In all, 19 players have worn No. 16 for the Bruins -- including center Derek Sanderson, who Middleton said he wore the number in honor of. Kaspars Daugavins was the last to wear it in 2013.
"In the last six or seven years, I've been seeing that it's not out there; nobody's wearing it," Middleton said. "All of a sudden, it happened. In July, a phone call in July; I never thought it would ever happen that way, but I just have to thank Cam so much for doing it. ... It culminated tonight."
Middleton was joined by Neely, Ray Bourque, Johnny Bucyk and Terry O'Reilly -- whose numbers have all been retired by the Bruins -- along with former Bruins coach Don Cherry at center ice for the pregame ceremony.

When arrested June 12, Baker was in her second year of teaching physical education at Langston Hughes Middle School and was the freshman girls basketball coach at South Lakes High School. According to county police, she had a relationship with an acquaintance under age 18. Baker is scheduled for a Nov. 5 jury trial.
* Rasheed Yusuf Ali, 30, of Purple Sage Drive in Reston, was charged July 1 with receiving stolen goods. If convicted, he could receive as much as five years in prison.
After a Clifton woman's home was burglarized, May 26, police advised her to search various pawn shops for her stolen jewelry. When she found some of it in a Vienna pawn shop, her discovery didn't nab the thief. It did, however, lead to the arrest of Ali, who, police said, bought the jewelry from the thief and sold it to the pawn shop.
Police arrested Ali after he returned to the pawn shop on July 1, and tried to sell a loose diamond. According to police, Ali admitted selling the items in question and acknowledged that he knew they were stolen. He's slated for a Nov. 5 trial.
<bt>Fairfax County Police are investigating a malicious wounding that occurred at the Washington and Old Dominion trail in Reston at about 7:15 p.m. Sept. 10. According to police, a 40-year-old man was riding his bicycle on the trail when he was approached by two men in their twenties, who were also on bikes. Words were exchanged as the men rode past each other. At which time, all three men got off their bikes and an argument ensued which escalated into an assault. The 40-year-old was stabbed several times about his body. The stabbing victim said he called a friend who then drove him to Inova Fairfax Hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Anyone with information about these two suspects is asked to call police at 691-2131 or crime solvers at 691-8888.
<bt>Fairfax County Police charged an 11-year-old Reston girl with assault after she allegedly verbally and physically assaulted her school bus driver on Sept. 12 around 7:20 a.m. The bus driver is a 47-year-old Alexandria resident who was driving her bus along Lawyers Road near Steeplechase Drive, when the juvenile suspect began to scream obscenities at her, police said. Immediately, the driver stopped the bus which was attempting to drop the children off at the Olde Creek Center in Fairfax. Once the driver stopped the vehicle, according to police, she was hit in the head with a backpack containing books. Police were called and they took the girl into custody. The suspect began to scream and kick at the police car's windows and shout obscenities at the arresting officer. Police said the girl will be held in the Juvenile Detention Center.
<bt>Looking to kick off a new drive to help raise money for the construction of the Nature House, the Friends of Reston will be providing coin collection cans to the public. The group will be hosting the open-to-the-public fundraising event at the Jasmine Cafe at Lake Anne Plaza on Sept. 26 from 7 to 8 p.m. Individuals, families and organizations are needed to adopt cans and help with their distribution throughout the community. The money collected from the can drive will be counted by the Business Bank and receipts will be given to contributors. Donations are tax-deductible, a spokesman for the Friends of Reston said. When completed at the Walker Nature Education Center, the Nature House will be an educational facility to study Reston's natural environment. To date, the Friends have raised over one-third of the necessary $700,000 needed to complete construction.

The noisier the particular market, the more the influencers matter. After all, the person drowning in information clings to trusted sources – and influencers trade in trust. Because there are few who truly have influence online, and because they could come from any corner of business (they may even work for one of your competitors), the struggle to get noticed is a pebble in the social marketer's shoe. It's a persistent discomfort. This is why Leslie Bradshaw and I tacked...

There are few skills I value more than speed. If I were a gambler, I'd put my money on the "fast and good enough" tandem over team "slow and perfect" every time. But once in a while you need both speed and accuracy. For example, when you create content that relates directly to a brand other than your own.

"Content marketing" is the new "social media." I have at least one meeting every day with a marketer who is looking to create a content marketing practice at his company.

The Master of Science in Accounting program is a 30-hour program. The program is designed to prepare students for both the CPA and possibly the CMA or the CFE depending on selection of electives.
All courses required upon entry, unless otherwise noted as "waived."
This program is only available for those with accounting undergraduate degrees. Coursework must include 24 hours of non-accounting business courses. You must have Business Ethics, Business Communications, and a two-hour research component.
If you are completing your BBA in accounting and have your sights set on becoming a CPA, there is no more direct route to the exam than the 4-plus-1 approach. You can earn your Master of Science in Accounting and be ready to sit for the CPA Exam following your undergrad degree.
The Graham School of Management offers flexible scheduling, such as night, Saturday and online courses, to allow you to complete your degree and while still working full-time during the day. In addition, our elective courses also prepare you for the CFE Exam. Illinois requires 150 hours in order to sit for the CPA Exam, which you will have once this degree is earned. We can also provide exam preparation through our partnership with Becker Professional Education.


You thought a movie about living, moving cities would be cheesy? Hell no.
It might be an obvious Star Wars meets dystopian sci-fi future hybrid, with a little Great Wall of China mixed in with some Terminator and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (or what's that movie about the city up the clouds?) as they enter the mist, but it's also one grand adventure, a love story without any intimacy, and an imaginative world unlike other. It's fantasy at it's finest, with orchestral music blasting behind the final battle, and with Hugo Weaving playing the grand villain you just can't go wrong.
Props Hera Hilmar and Robert Sheehan on their lead roles, too. And that guy whose name sounds like a rapper. And Jihae, whomever she is.
It wasn't really what I expected it, but I had a blast with it. I'm impressed with the special effects, too, and the worlds they manage to build these days that traditional limitations might not have allowed. Even if they're not always perfect. Even if it could've been even more amazing had they managed it all with props. Good watch.

Old songs notwithstanding, we are not, strictly speaking, required to always hurt the ones we love—but as this issue's stories demonstrate, things often work out that way. Ah, family!
Consider siblings. In R. T. Lawton's "The Chinese Box," for instance, the city-bred and educated son of a Shan Army warlord finds himself in stiff competition with his own older half-brother, while two actors who once played brothers on a hit TV show have a very different off-screen dynamic in Brendan DuBois's "The Wildest One." Ecuadoran P.I. Wilson Salinas, meanwhile, must retrieve his neighbor's granddaughter—snatched by her own father in Tom Larsen's "En Agua Caliente." A woman working a prison kitchen is tested when the man who killed her father demands that she help him escape in Janice Law's "Good Girl." And a family inheritance is at stake in our Mystery Classic, "Betrayed by a Buckle" by Louisa May Alcott, introduced by Marianne Wilski Strong.
Once again, these stories show that blood will tell.
Killers and thieves in our midst try to stay undetected, whether clinging to shadows or hiding in plain sight. The tales in this issue feature intrepid, if sometimes accidental, sleuths who uncover what's hidden and unmask the villains in surprising and entertaining ways.
In addition to Robert C. Hahn's book reviews in our Booked & Printed column, and Dying Words, a challenging acrostic by Arlene Fisher, this issue's features include the debut of a new puzzle, Mixed-Up Sleuths, anagram fun for mystery mavens from Mark Lagasse. We also bring you a special Mystery Classic: Shelly Dickson Carr introduces a short story by her mother Julia McNiven, "Death at Devil's Hole," originally published in 1974.
There's always an extent to which crime is unexpected, except for the perpetrator—that is, if things go off as planned. It's often the surprises, though, that make a great mystery story.
Plus we have two great (only to be expected) procedurals from John H. Dirckx ("Go for the Juggler") and David Edgerley Gates ("A Multitude of Sins").
Finally, this issue's Mystery Classic is "Nebuchadnezzar" by Dorothy L. Sayers. The story was selected for us by B. K. Stevens, a life-long admirer of Sayers. Sadly B. K. Stevens died before she had a chance to write the introduction, though I know she chose it in part for its humor and because it's one of the author's lesser-known stories.
As always, our tales may take some unexpected turns, but you can always expect to find great crime fiction in these pages.

Slight chance of asteroid Bennu hitting Earth: NASA
An asteroid known as Bennu will pass within half the distance of the Earth to the Moon in the year 2135 but the probability of an impact with our planet in the coming centuries is very slight, scientists said.
OSIRIS-REx, a NASA spacecraft, spent two years near Bennu, an asteroid that is about 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide, observing its size, shape, mass and composition and monitoring its orbital trajectory around the sun.
Using its robotic arm, the spacecraft also collected a sample from the surface of the asteroid that will help researchers determine the future trajectory of Bennu.
The rocks and dust collected by OSIRIS-REx are scheduled to return to Earth on September 24, 2023.
Bennu was discovered in 1999 and is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid.
It will make a close approach with Earth in September 2135.
Scientists want to figure out how Earth's gravity and a phenomenon known as the Yarkovsky effect will affect its future trajectory and the potential for an impact on a subsequent orbit.
Researchers determined Bennu's total impact probability between now and the year 2300 at about one in 1,750, or 0.057 percent.

The New York Times, in keeping with the Obama adminstration's policy that many Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem are "settlements," has corrected a photo caption in which it used that term for a Jewish neighborhood in the city, also stating it is the "West Bank."
The mistake was published last Thursday in a photo caption that read, "Ultra-Orthodox Jews last month in Ramat Shlomo, a Jewish settlement in the West Bank," the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) reported.
However, the term "East Jerusalem" also is inaccurate. It refers to all parts of the city that were restored to Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967, and those areas include neighborhoods in southern and northern Jerusalem as well as in the eastern part of the capital.
The term "East Jerusalem" also implies that it is a separate political entity, unlike the term "eastern" or "southern" Jerusalem, which refers to an area in relationship to the rest of the city.
Unlike parts of Judea and Samaria that were to be part of the country of "Trans-Jordan," the United Nations Partition Plan did not allocate to Jordan any parts of Jerusalem, which was supposed to be administered by the United Nations.
Following the Arab world's rejection of the Partition Plan, it tried to annihilate the new State of Israel, which fought until a ceasefire in 1949 left the capital divided until 1967.
Another term that has been recognized internationally but is misleading is "West Bank", meaning the land that lies west of the Jordan River. Literally speaking, that would include all of the Land of Israel whose border is the Mediterranean Sea. In practice it is used to refer to Judea and Samaria.


The first step of boosting your energy is to dispel and rid yourself of certain nutrition myths that actually diminish your energy reserve and prevent you from being your true energetic self. Adhering to these myths not only saps your energy but can lead to a variety of health problems that you really don't have the time or energy to deal with.
1. Myth: Energy drinks can provide a quick, safe energy boost.
I know they are marketed as hours of low-calorie, pure energy in a simple shot, but these bad boys are destroying you from the inside out. Your body is created to process whole, organic ingredients as natural fuel, not to chug chemically created liquids as fake insta-fuel. Energy drinks and shots mess with your body's natural energy production and slowly create a dependence on external, fake energy rather than stimulate your innate internal mechanism.
These shots might give you the perception of feeling great, but inside they're only doing harm. Put them down and let your body start energizing itself as it knows how.
2. Myth: Low-calorie foods are the best choices when you need energy; they won't weigh you down.
When staring at the vending machine or snack selection, the low-calorie packages might appear to make the most sense. Yet most low-calorie foods are injected with additives to make them actually taste like something and increase shelf life.
Although low in calories, these are the bad, chemical-laden calories that will likely pack on pounds, encourage lackluster thought, foster brain fog, and slow your entire system down. Skip the low-calorie options and go for energy-packed nuts. They might be higher in calories, but remember: calories equal energy, and these high-quality calories provide the fuel that your body needs to function.
3. Myth: Sugar is the enemy.
The truth is, your brain needs glucose to function. If your brain cannot perform, you will feel sluggish, tired, and blech. Now, I'm not advocating you grab a handful of gummy bears or a giant frosted and rainbow-sprinkled donut. But sugar in its natural form can be an essential component our body needs. Just put down the jelly beans and pick up an orange.
4. Myth: You can eat fruit throughout the day to keep you going.
Yes, you want some naturally occurring sugar in your diet. But fruit bombing yourself at snacktime is only going to make you more tired than before. The older and more stagnant we get, the harder it becomes to break down all the fructose in fruit, which, unmetabolized, stays in your system and slows it down, making you feel lethargic. Pick one piece or serving of high-water-content fruit such as a slice of watermelon or a cup of blueberries and be on your energetic way.
5. Myth: Yogurt or hummus is the perfect protein-packed snack.
Yes, these conveniently packaged options do contain protein and might seem like an easy, clean-energy boost. In my health pursuits, I've been told that traditional Chinese medicine considers these foods to be damp, cold foods loaded with carbs and fat that might make you lethargic. Your "healthy option" might just be draining your energy more.


A student asked me the other day how to start off an essay. I responded with my usual summary of what goes into an introduction paragraph.
She stopped me halfway through and said, "No, not that. How do I start MY essay?".
After some prodding, I came to realize that this student believed that every essay is different and requires a different formula for its construction.
Believe it or not, this is pretty common. Writers oftentimes feel like every piece of writing is so extraordinarily different as to require a different structure, different tone, and different everything.
Sure, there are some different elements to different essays. For example, using the same tone in a persuasive essay as an expository essay is going to throw off the reader and miss the paper's point. Now the reader stops learning about the topic and is being convinced to make a decision about it.
Every essay prompt is different, and there are different styles of writing. Absolutely true.
What is also true is that the basic essay format works. It has worked for decades, and it still works. There is wiggle room and space for creativity too, but it does still work.
OK, so what is the basic organization for an essay?
Introduction: Hook your reader's attention, state the thesis in a strong manner, and give broad, general support which will be explained later in the paper.
Body: Get into the details. Expound upon the details which support the thesis statement: research, quotations, facts, figures, statistics, and your unique analysis that presents your thesis statement as well documented.
Conclusion: Wrap it up with academic professionalism. Give your reader the summary of what is really important here; this is your last chance to make a great case.
Make life easy on yourself and use what works–introduction, body, and conclusion.
Take a look over these videos for a more in-depth look at how the structure looks.

Q: Sum arrays within a list I have this code (taken verbatim from the second example in Chap 2 of Data Visualization with Python on JavaScript by Kyran Dale)
student_data = [
  {'name': 'Bob',   'id':0, 'scores':[68, 75, 56, 81]},
  {'name': 'Alice', 'id':1, 'scores':[75, 90, 64, 88]},
  {'name': 'Carol', 'id':2, 'scores':[59, 74, 71, 68]},
  {'name': 'Dan',   'id':3, 'scores':[64, 58, 53, 62]},
]

def  process_student_data(sdata, pass_threshold = 60, merit_threshold = 75):
    av = sum(sdata['scores'])/float(len(sdata['scores'])) # <<== PROBLEM LINE!!

    sdata ['average'] = av

    if av > merit_threshold:
        sdata['assessment'] = 'Passed with merit'
    elif av > pass_threshold:
        sdata['assessment'] = 'Passed'
    else:
        sdata['assessment'] = 'Failed'

    print("%s's (id: %d) final assessment is: %s" %(sdata['name'], sdata['id'], sdata['assessment'].upper()))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    process_student_data(student_data)

but on running "python do_student_data.py" (my name for the file) the error I'm getting is:
  File "do_student_data.py", line 9, in process_student_data
    print(sdata['scores'])
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

I've programmed before (C, Delphi, Java) and I can see what the interpreter is saying, but I just can't figure out how to fix it. I have Googled various things like "Python sum array in list" and similar, but no  joy.
I would be grateful for:

*

*a code fix and more importantly

*a thorough explanation of the ins and outs of where this code is wrong

A: Your input data is not a single dict, but a list of dicts. So you will have to iterate it and do the action for each dict individually:
def  process_student_data(student_data, pass_threshold = 60, merit_threshold = 75):
    for sdata in student_data:  # iterate the list!
        # float(...) cast not strictly necessary in Python3
        av = sum(sdata['scores'])/float(len(sdata['scores']))
        # ...

>>> process_student_data(student_data)
Bob's (id: 0) final assessment is: PASSED
Alice's (id: 1) final assessment is: PASSED WITH MERIT
Carol's (id: 2) final assessment is: PASSED
Dan's (id: 3) final assessment is: FAILED

Alternatively, you can leave your function as it is and call it in a loop:
for sdata in student_data:
    process_student_data(sdata)

If you are looking to find a tiler to help you with your tiling project, finding the right tiler for the job requires a bit of preparation. Here are all of the basic details that you need to know about tilers in order to find someone to help you with your job.
Can tilers Save You Money?
As tilers often have relationships with different suppliers, they can usually negotiate a better rate on tiles than you can hope to get as a retail customer. This is called trade pricing. You may want to take advantage of this to save money on the overall cost of the tiling job. Good tilers also work efficiently cutting down labour costs, which also reduces the overall cost.
A tiler will help your tiling project to run much more smoothly. Before hiring a tiler, it is very important to first ask to see details of their qualifications, references and experience, not to mention that they hold the necessary insurances. Also obtain at least three written quotations, so that you can get a good idea of how much the project will cost.


Besides peace on earth and an unlimited IT budget, what's on CIOs' wish list for 2016? We asked three experts what they'd love to receive for the new year.
"Greater systems flexibility. Meaning systems that are more highly configurable and thus require less coding and/or testing; are loosely coupled, so a change to one minimized changes in others; a highly connected environment where the plethora of solutions is invisible to users; and one that empowers users to make the changes they want." --Steven Marenakos, senior vice president, service and systems solutions, Prudential Annuities.
"Right now, we need dynamic people who can wear many hats that aren't role-specific. We're attempting to reduce silos so that people are cross-functional. Finding a server administrator, or a Microsoft Exchange expert is much easier than finding someone with multiple skillsets -- but I know they're out there!" -- Warren Perlman, CIO, Ceridian.
"WebMethods, Tableau and Cognos [SaaS and software packages] for advanced integration and data analytics." -- Glenn Siegmund, CIO, Prudential Annuities.
"We're already starting to improve these using SQL Server and enhanced caching using SSDs. We're also looking at nontraditional solutions like Hadoop and ways to pull data sets to make them more accessible." -- Perlman.


The small house movement has taken off. People are going crazy about these things. It's about minimalism. For some, it could be a viable option for a bug out location as well. What is the small home movement really about?
It's about flipping the paradigm on its head. People are tired of this idea that they must wake up each day, leave their families, put on clothes they don't like, go to a job they hate and spend their whole life doing something they don't want to do. When you sit down and quantify it you are facing a very sad existence.
Our time is worth a lot. Have you ever given any thought to the value of your time and the fact that you are selling that time to your employer?
From self-sufficiency to quality of life the simple home and simple lifestyle are very appealing. From a preppers point of view, you are freeing up lots of resources to divert towards prepping. This is so important. Preppers are always faced with time constraints, financial constraints and of course space constraints.
Even if you don't have space on your side, freeing up time and money can take care of that problem. It's only when you are maxed on all fronts that you truly struggle. Still, a simple home changes all of that because your biggest bill, mortgage, is either substantially cut down or is gone altogether.
Consider your own evolution towards a simple suburban homesteading lifestyle or even a tiny home lifestyle. It could change everything.
These instructions on how to build an A-Frame cabin mean much more than just a place to hang out. To some, it means there is a sea change in their life. To others, it means no more mortgage payment. These plans can also mean true freedom.

Ren Needs Help! Travelogue
"Superstitious Stimpy" is an episode of Season 4.
Stimpy becomes superstitious when Tuesday the 17th arrives. Ren denies all of this until it's revealed that he was born on that day, so Stimpy has to help him with his bad luck.
The episode begins with Stimpy nailing a boar's head to the wall, creating a lot of noise. Ren enters and yells at Stimpy, asking as to why he is doing it. Stimpy explains that it is Tuesday the 17th, the most unlucky day of the year and that the boar's head is to expel bad luck. Stimpy suggests that Ren kiss the boar's head in order to combat bad luck, but Ren refuses, seeing Stimpy as stupid for listening to 'old husband tales.' Stimpy tries not to listen, as blasphemy causes bad luck. Ren decides to kick the boar's head, but the body of the boar comes back and kicks Ren into the wall, which is more bad luck.
Ren yells at Stimpy to get in the house.
Later, Ren attempts to start his indoor barbecue. He orders Stimpy to go get the meat, but Stimpy says that cooking indoors is unlucky. He takes the carcass and goes outside with it, determined to stop their bad luck. After waiting half an hour, Ren goes outside to find Stimpy offering the carcass as a sacrifice, as beef carcasses are very, very lucky. Ren steals the carcass back and throws it onto the bed, which is more bad juju, and blasphemes by calling Stimpy's paranoia 'stuperstitions.' He then calls juju to attack him, only to be struck by lightning. Furious, he orders Stimpy to go back inside.
Later, Ren cooks the beef carcass on the bed while making the atmosphere as unlucky as possible, which includes having Stimpy dress in black and cross his path. Despite Stimpy's warnings, he dismisses his concerns and gets Stimpy to say that superstitions are fake and he is a moron. Eventually, he cooks the carcass with no bad luck. When Ren turns his head, Stimpy notices a wine red mark on Ren's cheek, which he says is his birth mark. Going through his book of unluckiness, Stimpy discovers many telltale signs of unluckiness, including webbed toes, which Ren has. Stimpy also takes off Ren's chef hat and discovers that Ren has a horn on his head and is the unlucky beast - the most unlucky person in the world. Ren admits that he was born on Tuesday the 17th and as a result, is cursed. Stimpy decides to help Ren counteract his bad luck through a variety of methods.
The first method involves having Ren gargle several things, including owl pellets, baboon drool and toad squeezing. The next method is to jump off the roof, as juju is scared of heights. Finally, Ren is dressed in a variety of unlucky devices, including a cinderblock hat with a rodent, underwear full of garlic, skunk shoes, mouthfuls of pig intestines and leeches on his arms. Ren must hold a pose until the next day to be certain his bad luck is completely gone, but Ren ends up swallowing the intestines after Ren must go to the bathroom. He goes to an outhouse and manages to defecate, but lightning strikes the outhouse and undoes Ren's luck. Ren comes back inside, burnt to a crisp. To stop it, Stimpy decides to give Ren his family's heirloom, a lucky leper's foot. Ren kisses the foot and becomes luckier, but a leper comes in and takes the foot and starts to hit him with it. However, Stimpy says that Ren is very, very lucky, as he was hit by a leper.
This episode, along with Travelogue aired during Season 5, despite being in Season 4.
Despite the main animation being done at Rough Draft Studios, the layouts were done by Mr. Big Cartoons.
This episode serves as a parody of Friday the 13th, a day in the Western world which is considered extremely unlucky. Tuesday the 17th actually comes five days after Friday the 13th.
This is the final episode in which Peter Avanzino is credited.
When Stimpy started to nail the boar's head to the wall, there were three nails. When Ren says, "And what does that have to do with nailing a boar's head to the wall?", There are no nails and When Stimpy starts talking, a nail is seen on the boar's forehead b
Ren attempts to prove to Stimpy that juju is false.
ut when Ren grabs the boar's head, one is normal and the other two are broken.
When Stimpy says, "Must counteract bad ju-ju!", In a close-up, he has flowers in his hands and puts it on the floor. He also had bruises and flower thorns on his face but when it zooms out, Stimpy looks normal and the flowers aren't on the floor or in his hands.
According to this episode, Ren's birthday is Tuesday the 17th although it isn't specified what month. As a consequence, he is the unlucky beast, the most unlucky person in the world.
The calendar Stimpy points to while stating that it was in fact Tuesday the 17th reads "Marge" instead of "March".

10 minutes is all it takes to get your body moving and burn enough calories. On top of contributing to weight loss, this workout will be good on your joints, strengthening all your body and cleaning up your lymphatic system through the cardio bouncing.
Remember to open your heart and bring the belly in when rebounding: that will help you maintain the most correct posture and make your workout more productive.
Rebounding on a bellicon is also a great way to elongate your body: most trainings focus on concentric contractions, while rebounding , thanks to the help of gravity, allows you to spend a longer time in the air, in an eccentric contraction. Muscles can strengthen and stretch, getting longer and stronger.
This new workout presented by bellicon master trainer Fayth, has been created for people new to bellicon bouncing but is also great for longer time bouncer.


A bad driver is something that no road can possibly be saved from. Now, there are incredibly many cars in the world, and they all travel on the same roads. If you drive smart, you can quickly get to work, go on a trip to anywhere in the world or just go shopping for a few weeks ahead. But at the same time not all drivers follow the rules of the road making the lives of the first group simply unbearable. And the worst part of it all is that you just have to learn to live with this, because whatever you do, whatever the authorities do, nothing will be done in the end.
Snow and ice falling from trucks is a consistent issue for drivers and trucking companies in Canada. With temperatures dropping below freezing, it is a very good idea to clean up the roof of your vehicle after a heavy snowfall, to reduce the risk of it freezing solid and then falling onto oncoming cars, like it happened in this video.
A couple driving near Moncton, New Brunswick, on November 30 approached a truck merging onto the highway just as a big chunk of frozen snow flew off of the truck, smashing the windshield on the passenger side. Authorities warned of the dangers of not cleaning the rooftops of vehicles, because the snow that freezes might form into ice and fall onto incoming traffic and cause incidents, just like it is the case in this video. As the ice falls off truck's rooftop, it lands directly onto the windshield of the incoming vehicle, causing it to smash!
Kevin McGraw said his wife, sitting in the passenger seat, was covered in shards of glass. He told Storyful that he pulled over to the right-hand side of the road and watched in the rear view mirror as the transport truck seemed to be pulling in behind him, but, he said, the truck then went around him and drove off down the highway.
The whole thing is like a scene from the Final Destination Franchise! Everything happens in a split second, you have to prevent yourself from blinking in case you miss the massive chunk of ice chipping off the block on the roof and smashing in the right-hand side of the windshield!

Q: Calculations in excel using .net Hi Stackoverflow Users
I was recently assigned to rewrite a excel document my company uses a lot. Originally it was written in matlab, but to easier distribute it, they migrated it to excel. It was done very bad, and therefore it worked on some computers and not on others. So it was rewritten to vba. But now they want it to be able to do very complex calculations like Monte Carlo simulations. therefore we wish to write it in c#.net for performance and development reasons. the last week i have tried and tried to learn how it was best done. I found several possible solutions, but i have not found a single way to do it which meets my 2 simple demands:

*

*The user doesn't have to go to any settings and add something, if it have to be done, it need to be done in code

*The calculations is done at the press of a button, so i need to be able to receive the event
I have spent so much time on the web, but i don't know exactly what to search for, so it all just seems like a big wall of unexplained, complex com-magic.
So what are your suggestion? Is there any solution which meet those demands? Any suggestions, references or any other help will be deeply appreciated.

A: Excel doesn't natively support C# in macros, so you're not going to be able to meet your first demand in a stand-alone spreadsheet. If you're willing to install an add-on into Excel, you might want to consider Excel-DNA. This would allow you to compile a .NET DLL containing the functions you want to add in to Excel.
Receiving an event from a button click is simply a case of adding a button control onto a sheet, and assigning a macro to it. This macro (e.g. a VBA function) will be run on demand when you click the button.


Blog Post - Radical Individualism: A Good Trait for Young Pastors?
Editor's Note: In case you hadn't heard, there's been a bit of a buzz regarding a comment John MacArthur made about a book by Darrin Patrick in last Sunday night's interview, "Theology and Ministry: An Interview with John MacArthur." Here's what John had to say about it.
Indeed, the entire book treats church planting as an entrepreneurial business, with almost no word of caution against the many dangers of bringing an entrepreneur's mindset into ministry. Scripture, by contrast, consistently uses pastoral language rather than terms borrowed from financial enterprise. Church leaders are to be shepherds, not tycoons. Our people are sheep, not consumers.
On the surface, it may sound noble to hold to a unique theology that has been independently forged, but such thinking (too common among today's young-and-restless reformers) is dangerous to the health of the church. Allow me to publicly state that if this is not what Darrin Patrick meant to communicate, I would certainly love to embrace any clarification.
Meanwhile, let me clarify my remark: I was not questioning Darrin's personal orthodoxy—his theology is clear in the book. The issue is rather the danger of developing a unique theology and a radically individualistic philosophy of church leadership. When one's "own theological beliefs" are self-styled and unique, those beliefs need to be questioned. Protecting the soundness of our theological convictions is a commitment that we all must make. It is increasingly clear that the vanguard of evangelical Christianity is intent upon actively promoting change at every level within the church, and young men in particular should not be encouraged to think radical individualism is a positive mindset for church leadership and ministry style.
Good ecclesiology demands that there exist an awareness of, appreciation for, and deliberate connection to the flow of redemptive history. Patrick's statement, it seems to me, is quite out of harmony with Paul's charge to Timothy: "What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2). The goal certainly should not be to encourage young pastors to distrust or remodel what they have learned from faithful men.
I don't know Darrin, and I'm not attacking him or challenging his statement of faith; I'm cautioning that this championing of "uniqueness to the way [young pastors want] to do ministry" is a dangerous trend, not a healthy one.
