Which Hot Drinks Dispenser Does Your Workplace Need?
It's often pointed out that one of the best things you can do to boost office morale is to make sure your team can easily grab a hot drink on the go. Office coffee stations are becoming commonplace, and it's rare that you'll find a breakroom which doesn't have some way to make everyone a brew.
But at the same time, a kettle, box of teabags, and a jar of instant coffee doesn't really cut it. (This goes double for showrooms and anywhere else where clients might be offered a drink!) Instead, coffee machines and other hot drinks dispensers add a professional touch and show that you're willing to take your team's tastes into account.
Our Flavia and Klix drinks machines are especially sought after. It's easy to see why – they both boast a wide range of the nation's favourite brands of hot drinks. With either of these ranges you'll receive high-quality drinks every time.
We developed a series of questions to help businesses identify the best hot drinks dispenser for their breakroom. But if you're not sure, please just get in touch. With over a quarter of a century's experience in the industry, we're confident that whatever your situation, we can recommend the perfect solution.

Q: java how to replace N number of spaces using regular expression I like to display a text (input text in textArea) nicely in web page. So need to
    1. change linebreaker \n to

    2. keep indentation:
             replace 2 spaces with one space and
             replace 3 spaces with one space and 2
             replace 4 spaces with one space and 3
             replace N spaces with one space and N-1

Is there a way to replace the spaces using regular expression in JAVA?
Thanks.

A: Underscores represent spaces:
Find: (?<=_)_
Replace:
If you have to stick with regex, positive lookbehind is what you're looking for.
Basically, this will match each space which follows another space.

A: This should help you:
String oldString="";
String newString = oldString.replaceAll("\n", "
").replaceAll("(?<= ) ", " ");

Grande Prairie Flag Display Draws Attention to Cassie & Molly's Law
18/10/2016 / Action Items
This week is the week we see the result of all the time and effort that has gone into supporting Bill C-225, Cassie and Molly's Law. On Wednesday evening, our Members of Parliament will vote to determine whether this bill will proceed to the committee stage or whether it will be voted down and pushed aside for the next thing.
Private Member's Bills are notoriously difficult to pass, but the outpouring of encouragement and support on this bill have shown that people care. People care about the current gap in our legal system that minimizes the consequences for a violent criminal who injures or kills a pre-born child while committing a crime against a pregnant woman. The majority of Canadians recognize that valuing women includes supporting their right to carry their child safely to term.
There are only two more days to speak to your MP and encourage them to support this bill. No matter the outcome, however, we have been encouraged by your willingness to speak and to act, and we know other opportunities will continue to come forward where we can build on the momentum we have begun.
Just recently in Grande Prairie, Alberta, one group used our flag display in a unique way to draw attention to Bill C-225. They spent 2 hours setting up in windy, below freezing temperatures, and then spent the day spreading the word about Cassie and Molly's Law to their community. Many people in Grande Prairie had no idea what Cassie and Molly's Law was, and many new supporters were gained. Some of these passersby were moved to come back with coffee and hot chocolate, while one volunteered to provide an aerial shot of the display. These are all examples of the impact one small group of passionate people can have should inspire us all to take action, wherever we find ourselves.
Again, thank you for your work and commitment to our action items for Bill C-225. It has been an honor to share this journey with so many others who recognize the value in what is certainly is not a perfect bill from a pro-life perspective, but a step worth fighting for because it addresses the need to value and protect the women who boldly carry our next generation.

Homeowner's Retaliation Claim Against Association Failed
Facts: A homeowner in a planned community that was situated on a lake witnessed an employee of the community's hired landscaping company spraying fumes without wearing protective clothing or a face mask. The homeowner complained to the association and also made a report to the state's department of agriculture, regarding "an environmental and public health incident." According to the homeowner, the board of directors and management staff had willfully failed to take any safety precaution to prevent this incident.
Association Couldn't Rely on Declaration to Cut Down Berm
Facts: Two homeowners with a townhouse in a planned complex sued the association for making alterations to and performing work on a protective berm located in the complex's common area near their lot. They alleged that the alterations to the berm resulted in a loss of seclusion and privacy for their lot, thus lowering its value. The homeowners asserted six causes of action for: breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional damage of property, negligence, trespass pursuant to state law, and an accounting.
Court Didn't Find Pervasive Pattern of Discrimination
Facts: A woman moved into a condominium with her mother, who was handicapped, to help with her daily activities. The woman asked the condominium association to provide an unobstructed path between the member's front door and driveway.
Evidence Showed Association Removed Member's Trees
Facts: The owner of property in a planned community sued the homeowners association under Oregon's timber trespass statute, after several trees were cut down and removed from his land without his permission. The association claimed that an adjacent golf club with an easement on the owner's land had removed the trees. A trial court determined that the association was responsible, it ruled in favor of the owner, and it tripled the damages award that the association had to pay, which was allowed for violations of the statute.
Member's Settlement with Association Precluded Subsequent Lawsuit
Facts: An association member complained to the community's management company on three separate occasions that an unauthorized car was parked in his assigned parking space at the property. The manager told the member to call a towing company, but when the member contacted the company, he was told that an "authorized" representative of the community would have to request that the car be towed. However, the manager refused to call the towing company on the member's behalf.
Statutory Snow and Ice Liability Protection Didn't Apply to Association
Facts: A condominium member suffered injuries after slipping on the sidewalk outside her building. She sued the association and the association's management company for negligence, alleging that a defective drainage condition and negligent maintenance of the premises where the defective drain led to pooling of water and an unnatural accumulation of ice caused her fall. The trial court ruled in favor of the association and the management company; it said that the Illinois state's Snow and Ice Removal Act provided immunity to the defendants.
Adult Supervision Rule for Playground Was Discriminatory
Facts: A married couple who owned a home in a planned community sued the homeowners association and its property management company for housing discrimination, negligence, and unfair business practices. They alleged that the overly broad community rules requiring adult supervision effectively prohibited their children from playing outside in the common areas, apart from a small playground onsite at the complex.
Decision: A California trial court ruled in favor of the members.
Property Manager Wasn't Personally Liable for Alleged FHA Violation
Facts: A condominium owner sued the property manager of the building's association, alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) because the manager had attempted to enforce rules regarding the owner's emotional support dog. Despite the association's rule that no unit owner may appropriate the common elements for her own use, the owner had installed an underground invisible fence within the common elements of the condominium to dispense with the need to walk or constrain her emotional support dog while it was outside her home.
State Laws Determined Validity of Amendment to Declaration
Facts: A planned community was developed in the 1990s. Prior to development, the developer recorded declarations and covenants that provided for the formation of a homeowners association. It stipulated that certain owners of multiple lots would be required to pay dues on only one lot. Several years later, a dispute arose concerning whether the association acted within its authority when it amended the declaration in 2012.
Allegedly Fraudulent Condo Sales Didn't Excuse Assessment Nonpayment
Facts: A condominium unit owner was obligated to pay a percentage of the condominium common area expenses. The condominium association sued the owner, seeking collection of unpaid condominium assessments. The owner claimed the association did not have the legal authority to require him to pay the assessments. He alleged that the condominium developer and real estate agents made misrepresentations and errors of omission, and as a result, the initial sale of units was a fraud.

Raging Bull (1980)
Published on June 16, 2021, by JPRoscoe - Posted in Movies 0
10 Overall Score
Story: 10/10
Acting: 10/10
Visuals: 10/10
Great, complex movie
Movie Name: Raging Bull
Studio: Chartoff-Winkler Productions
Genre(s): Drama/Sports
Release Date(s): November 13, 1980 (Premiere)/December 19, 1980 (US)
Let the fighting begin!
Boxer Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro) thinks he can be number one if he gets his shot at the title. With his brother Joey (Joe Pesci) managing him, he is fighting his way to the top and trying to avoid outside influence like the people of his neighborhood who believe they should have a say in Jake's future. The Raging Bull is a monster in the ring and can intimidate other fighters with his relentless attack. Jake LaMotta has always been a fighter, but he has also battled demons. With a deep jealous streak and a beautiful wife named Vickie (Cathy Moriarty), Jake struggles to keep the fight in the ring.
Directed by Martin Scorsese, Raging Bull is a boxing biopic drama of Jake LaMotta (July 10, 1922-September 19, 2017). Following Scorsese's New York, New York in 1977, the film is an adaptation of Jake LaMotta's 1970 memoir Raging Bull: My Story which was written with Joseph Carter and Peter Savage. The film was released to positive reviews but criticism of its violence. It won Academy Awards for Best Actor (De Niro) and Best Film Editing with nominations for Best Supporting Actor (Pesci), Best Supporting Actress (Moriarty), Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Picture (which it lost to Ordinary People). The film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1990. It is frequently listed in "Best of" movie lists in multiple categories.
It's a touching love story…or not
We had to watch Raging Bull for a film class in college. It was used to present lots of different topics from sports films to dramas to editing. Like other boxing films, boxing might be the basic theme, but Raging Bull rises above one genre to be a great film.
Jake LaMotta is a complex character. Having seen the film, the boxer questioned if it was accurate to his persona because of how rotten it portrayed him at points (and Joey LaMotta sued for his portrayal). The fact that LaMotta was alive and the film is very unflattering to him is a show of good faith that Scorsese would do the project right…and he does. Unlike a lot of biopic pictures that are seeming to fill the theater, there isn't much of a denouement where the subject reflects on his situation. It is rather refreshing because life generally doesn't work out that cleanly.
I'm good…I just need to shake it off a bit
De Niro is legendary in the film. The movie was noted for De Niro putting on all the weight for the end scenes as the older LaMotta, but instead of being just an acting gimmick, it genuinely changes his persona and presence. The once intimidating guy is doing bad stand-up on the stage…it is sad (though he still could probably knock most people through a wall). Pesci is a bit more restrained in the film as the "calm brother" of the two (except in the Copacabana scene) and Cathy Moriarty also goes from strong woman, to kept woman, and regains her strength in the end.
The movie also looks fantastic. The crisp black and white probably tells the story better than if it was the bright blood of the fights. The boxing feels real and the make-up and look is brutal. Boxing actually takes up a small part of the screentime and the non-fighting scenes are deftly crafted and shot as well.
Look…Jake LaMotta is doing his Jon Favreau cosplay!
Raging Bull is one of those "Must See" movies. Not only is it a great and complex film, it has influence on a lot of other films that followed it. If Scorsese's early films like Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore made him a name, Raging Bull cemented his legacy and turned him into a one named director…seeing a new Scorsese picture meant something (though Raging Bull also set-up a high bar for him to clear for future pictures). Scorsese followed Raging Bull with The King of Comedy in 1982.

Why We're Fist-Pumping About The Rise Of Women's Sport This International Women's Day
Even if you don't like watching sport, you will like this - by Alice Ellis
Women's sport has seen an unprecedented rise in popularity in the past year – even in the past few months, and WH sees that as a major win for all women.
Just a few highlights… The Women's Big Bash League (WBBL cricket), in only its second season, scored impressive crowds and TV ratings. "At the double-header derby game at the SCG [Sydney Cricket Ground] we had over 17,000 in for the WBBL game, which was phenomenal," says Dominic Redmond, GM of the Sydney Sixers big bash cricket teams. "The Stars-Renegades game in Melbourne had a crowd of over 24,000. And the league averaged over 240,000 TV viewers per game, which was amazing. If you look at normal TV viewing figures on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, you'd be lucky to get 120,000."
The launch of the AFL Women's (AFLW) league has been A. Big. Deal. For the inaugural game in Melbourne, 2000 spectators had to be locked out of the ground because it'd reached capacity. TV viewing figures have been big. And sponsors are begging to be a part of it.
Then of course there's the Suncorp Super Netball – the super-est national netball comp we've ever seen in Australia. Eight teams from around the country are battling it out for the next few months, 9Gem is airing games that are garnering great ratings. And with netball and so much women's sport headlining at the moment, the daughter of netball legend Liz Ellis remarked to her one night, "Mummy, why don't boys play sport?" LOL.
"I don't think the interest in women's sport is a sudden thing, the momentum has been building for a long time," says Jerril Rechter, CEO of VicHealth, which is running a campaign, #ChangeOurGame, to increase the profile of women in sport as well as female participation in sport.
Jerril Rechter, CEO of VicHealth
"There does feel like there has been a real momentum shift, and I think it's come about off the back of a lot of years of work by lots of people at grassroots levels creating opportunities for female athletes," says Melbourne FC AFLW player Melissa Hickey, who's a #ChangeOurGame ambassador.
Melissa Hickey, Melbourne FC AFLW player
"The injection of money into various sporting programs and the media giving women's sport a platform for people to be able to watch it has also really helped. It's shown us that if you give women's sport a platform people will embrace it, and we've seen this with the numbers of viewers and attendees at women's sport over the last 12 months."
Meg Lanning, cricketer for the Melbourne Stars and #ChangeOurGame ambassador, thinks we're on the right track at the moment. "I've seen a lot of changes in my time already, particularly at grassroots level where there weren't a lot of opportunities for me to play in an all-girls team. Now there's lots more access to play in all-girls teams. We've come a long way."
Liz Vagg
But of course, there's still a long way to go until there's equality between sports women and men, which is why campaigns like #ChangeOurGame and WH's own WinS (#WomeninSport) campaign are so important. "Women are significantly under-represented in management, coaching and officiating, particularly at the higher levels," says Rechter. "We've got to reduce all the barriers, either real or perceived, to participation in sport. Without women leaders, decision makers and role models within sport, equal opportunities for women and girls will not be achieved."
And re that pay gap? "The pay gap in sport is a reflection of society as a whole. There are a number of factors to explain why male sport is better paid and better regarded, including systemic gender bias, media coverage and funding. I look forward to the day when all women receive equal pay."
So does Maddie Garrick, WNBA basketballer for the Melbourne Boomers, who's also a #ChangeOurGame ambassador. "Not having to have 'day jobs' to subsidise their incomes will provide female athletes with the opportunity to become the most elite, best version of themselves, as they can focus entirely on their ambitions and 'work'. We train and compete as hard as we possibly can and dedicate our lives to the sport just the same as the men do, so we should be rewarded just the same."
Maddie Garrick, WNBA basketballer for the Melbourne Boomers and a #ChangeOurGame ambassador
Timothy Burgess
"Women's sport is no different to men's sport," continues Rechter. "It's about passion, drive, skill and commitment. Men and women's sports don't have to be identical to be interesting or entertaining - the women's competitions are more than the 'female' version of the men's game. The same talent and training is needed to make it in sport, and gender is not a factor. I look forward to the day when it's not men's sport or women's sport, it's just sport." We do to.

Tolkien Estate Sues New Line Cinema

Marton Csokas To Battle Denzel Washington In THE EQUALIZER
The estate of "Lord of the Rings" creator J.R.R. Tolkien is suing the film studio that released the trilogy based on his books, claiming the company hasn't paid it a penny from the estimated $6 billion the films have grossed worldwide. The suit, filed Monday, claims New Line was required to pay 7.5 percent of gross receipts to Tolkien's estate and other plaintiffs, who contend they only received an upfront payment of $62,500 for the three movies before production began. The writer's estate, a British charity dubbed The Tolkien Trust, and original "Lord of the Rings" publisher HarperCollins filed the lawsuit against New Line Cinema in Los Angeles Superior Court. If successful, it could block the long-awaited prequel to the films. Robert Pini, a spokesman for Time Warner Inc.'s New Line, declined to comment. The films – 2001's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," 2002's "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," and 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" – have reaped nearly $6 billion combined worldwide, according to the complaint. The estimate includes everything from box office receipts to revenue from sales of DVDs and other products. The plaintiffs seek more than $150 million in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and a court order giving the Tolkien estate the right to terminate any rights New Line may have to make films based on other works by the author, including "The Hobbit." Such an order would scuttle plans by New Line to make a two-film prequel based on "The Hobbit." "Rings" trilogy director Peter Jackson has already signed on to serve as executive producer on the project, which is tentatively slated to begin production next year, with releases planned for 2010 and 2011. "The Tolkien trustees do not file lawsuits lightly, and have tried unsuccessfully to resolve their claims out of court," Steven Maier, an attorney for the Tolkien estate based in Britain, said in a statement. Maier also claims the film studio has blocked the Tolkien estate and the other plaintiffs from auditing the receipts of the last two films. The Associated Press

The Shipwrecked Mind
Author by Mark Lilla
Genre : Political Science
Editor : New York Review of Books
We don't understand the reactionary mind. As a result, argues Mark Lilla in this timely book, the ideas and passions that shape today's political dramas are unintelligible to us. The reactionary is anything but a conservative. He is as radical and modern a figure as the revolutionary, someone shipwrecked in the rapidly changing present, and suffering from nostalgia for an idealized past and an apocalyptic fear that history is rushing toward catastrophe. And like the revolutionary his political engagements are motivated by highly developed ideas. Lilla begins with three twentieth-century philosophers—Franz Rosenzweig, Eric Voegelin, and Leo Strauss—who attributed the problems of modern society to a break in the history of ideas and promoted a return to earlier modes of thought. He then examines the enduring power of grand historical narratives of betrayal to shape political outlooks since the French Revolution, and shows how these narratives are employed in the writings of Europe's right-wing cultural pessimists and Maoist neocommunists, American theoconservatives fantasizing about the harmony of medieval Catholic society and radical Islamists seeking to restore a vanished Muslim caliphate. The revolutionary spirit that inspired political movements across the world for two centuries may have died out. But the spirit of reaction that rose to meet it has survived and is proving just as formidable a historical force. We live in an age when the tragicomic nostalgia of Don Quixote for a lost golden age has been transformed into a potent and sometimes deadly weapon. Mark Lilla helps us to understand why.
The Reckless Mind Intellectuals In Politics
Genre : Philosophy
European history of the past century is full of examples of philosophers, writers, and scholars who supported or excused the worst tyrannies of the age. How was this possible? How could intellectuals whose work depends on freedom defend those who would deny it? In profiles of six leading twentieth-century thinkers—Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Alexandre Kojève, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida—Mark Lilla explores the psychology of political commitment. As continental Europe gave birth to two great ideological systems in the twentieth century, communism and fascism, it also gave birth to a new social type, the philotyrannical intellectual. Lilla shows how these thinkers were not only grappling with enduring philosophical questions, they were also writing out of their own experiences and passions. These profiles demonstrate how intellectuals can be driven into a political sphere they scarcely understand, with momentous results. In a new afterword, Lilla traces how the intellectual world has changed since the end of the cold war. The ideological passions of the past have been replaced in the West, he argues, by a dogma of individual autonomy and freedom that both obscures the historical forces at work in the present and sanctions ignorance about them, leaving us ill-equipped to understand those who are inflamed by the new global ideologies of our time.
The Once And Future Liberal
Genre : Liberalism
Editor : Oxford University Press
For nearly 40 years, Ronald Reagan's vision--small government, lower taxes, and self-reliant individualism--has remained America's dominant political ideology. The Democratic Party has offered no truly convincing competing vision. Instead, American liberalism has fallen under the spell of identity politics.Mark Lilla argues with acerbic wit that liberals, originally driven by a sincere desire to protect the most vulnerable Americans, have now unwittingly invested their energies in social movements rather than winning elections. This abandonment of political priorities has had dire consequences. But, with the Republican Party led by an unpredictable demagogue and in ideological disarray, Lilla believes liberals now have an opportunity to turn from the divisive politics of identity, and offer positive ideas for a shared future. A fiercely-argued, no-nonsense book, The Once and Future Liberal is essential reading for our momentous times.
The Catalogue Of Shipwrecked Books
Author by Edward Wilson-Lee
Editor : Scribner
This impeccably researched and "adventure-packed" (The Washington Post) account of the obsessive quest by Christopher Columbus's son to create the greatest library in the world is "the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters" (NPR) and offers a vivid picture of Europe on the verge of becoming modern. At the peak of the Age of Exploration, Hernando Colón sailed with his father Christopher Columbus on his final voyage to the New World, a journey that ended in disaster, bloody mutiny, and shipwreck. After Columbus's death in 1506, eighteen-year-old Hernando sought to continue—and surpass—his father's campaign to explore the boundaries of the known world by building a library that would collect everything ever printed: a vast holding organized by summaries and catalogues; really, the first ever database for the exploding diversity of written matter as the printing press proliferated across Europe. Hernando traveled extensively and obsessively amassed his collection based on the groundbreaking conviction that a library of universal knowledge should include "all books, in all languages and on all subjects," even material often dismissed: ballads, erotica, news pamphlets, almanacs, popular images, romances, fables. The loss of part of his collection to another maritime disaster in 1522, set off the final scramble to complete this sublime project, a race against time to realize a vision of near-impossible perfection. "Magnificent…a thrill on almost every page" (The New York Times Book Review), The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books is a window into sixteenth-century Europe's information revolution, and a reflection of the passion and intrigues that lie beneath our own insatiable desires to bring order to the world today.
New French Thought
Editor : Princeton University Press
The past fifteen years in France have seen a remarkable flourishing of new work in political philosophy. This anthology brings into English for the first time essays by some of the best young French political thinkers writing today, including Marcel Gauchet, Pierre Manent, Luc Ferry, and Alain Renaut. The central theme of these essays is liberal democracy: its nature, its development, its problems, its fundamental legitimacy. Although these themes are familiar to American and British readers, the French approach to them--which is profoundly historical and rooted in the tradition of continental philosophy--is quite different from our customary one. Included in this collection is a series of reconsiderations of French critics of liberal society (Lévi-Strauss, Foucault, Bourdieu) and of classical European liberals (Kant, Constant, Tocqueville). The continuing controversies over the nature of the modern era and the place of religion within it play a central role throughout the collection. The book includes a debate on the foundations of human rights and on the nature of a liberal political order. The concluding section presents some of the new sociological writing on modern individualism, its pleasures and its discontents. An introduction by Mark Lilla provides the historical background to the revival of French political thought about liberalism, and offers an analysis of what American and English readers might learn from it. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
The Stillborn God
A brilliant account of religion's role in the political thinking of the West, from the Enlightenment to the close of World War II.The wish to bring political life under God's authority is nothing new, and it's clear that today religious passions are again driving world politics, confounding expectations of a secular future. In this major book, Mark Lilla reveals the sources of this age-old quest-and its surprising role in shaping Western thought. Making us look deeper into our beliefs about religion, politics, and the fate of civilizations, Lilla reminds us of the modern West's unique trajectory and how to remain on it. Illuminating and challenging, The Stillborn God is a watershed in the history of ideas.

The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind
Author by Julian Jaynes
Editor : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
National Book Award Finalist: "This man's ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century."—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. "Don't be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes's The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor."—The New York Times "When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis."—John Updike, The New Yorker "He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior."—American Journal of Psychiatry

The Legacy Of Isaiah Berlin
Author by Aileen Kelly
The papers given at the conference and collected in this volume concentrate on three aspects of Berlin's concept of pluralism. Aileen Kelly, Mark Lilla, and Steven Lukes trace the development and consequences of his distinction between "hedgehogs," thinkers who have a single, unified theory of human action and history, and "foxes," who believe in multiplicity and resist the impulse to subject humanity to a universal vision. Ronald Dworkin, Bernard Williams, Thomas Nagel, and Charles Taylor examine how liberalism can be sustained in the face of Berlin's insight that equally legitimate values, such as liberty and equality, may come into irreconcilable conflict. Avishai Margalit, Richard Wollheim, Michael Walzer, and Robert Silvers take up Berlin's advocacy for the State of Israel and his hopes for it as a place where the often contrary values of liberalism and nationalism might find harmonious resolution.

Milton Berle, American comedian and actor (July 12, 1908 - March 27, 2002) was born Mendel Berlinger into a Jewish family in a five-story walkup at 68 W. 118th Street in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. As the host of NBC's Texaco Star Theater (1948-55), he was the first major American television star and was known to millions of viewers as "Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television" during TV's golden age. He appeared as a child actor in silent films, beginning with The Perils of Pauline, filmed in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Around 1920, at age 12, Berle made his stage debut in a revival of the musical comedy Florodora in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which later moved to Broadway. By the time he was 16, he was working as a Master of Ceremonies in Vaudeville. He became nationally famous in 1934 when was heard regularly on The Rudy Vallee Hour. The Milton Berle Show radio series brought Berle together with Arnold Stang, later a familiar face as Berle's TV sidekick. Others in the cast were Pert Kelton, Mary Schipp, Jack Albertson, Arthur Q. Bryan, Ed Begley, Brazilian singer Dick Farney, and announcer Frank Gallop. Sponsored by Philip Morris, it aired on NBC from March 11, 1947 until April 13, 1948. Berle later described this series as "the best radio show I ever did ... a hell of a funny variety show". Berle died aged 93 in Los Angeles from colon cancer, on the same day as Billy Wilder and Dudley Moore.

Personal Essay About Having A Bleeding Disorder

Hemophilia Essay | Bartleby
Living with hemophilia Hemophilia is a rare condition in which the blood does not clot properly.
It affects around 1 percent of the American population. Unlike hemophilia, vWD affects men and women equally. Like hemophilia, the severity of vWD depends upon the level of the blood protein. The lower the level of protein in the blood, the more severe is the bleeding. Types There are two major types of hemophilia, type A and type B. This accounts for about 80 percent of hemophilia cases. About 70 percent of people with hemophilia A have the severe form. In hemophilia B, also known as "Christmas disease," the person lacks clotting factor IX. Hemophilia occurs in around 1 in every 20, males born worldwide. Both A and B can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the amount of clotting factor that is in the blood. From 5 to 40 percent of normal clotting factor is considered mild, 1 to 5 percent is moderate, and less than 1 percent is severe. Hemophilia symptoms include excessive bleeding and easy bruising. The severity of symptoms depends on how low the level of clotting factors is in the blood. Bleeding can occur externally or internally. Any wound, cut, bite, or dental injury can lead to excessive external bleeding. Spontaneous nosebleeds are common. There may be prolonged or continued bleeding after bleeding previously ceased. Signs of excessive internal bleeding include blood in the urine or stools, and large, deep bruises. Bleeding can also happen within joints, like knees and elbows, causing them to become swollen, hot to the touch, and painful to move. Her daughters Alice and Beatrice passed it on to several of their children. Hemophilia was carried through various royal family members for three generations after Victoria, then disappeared. Treatment Breakthroughs In the early s, there was no way to store blood. People with hemophilia who needed a transfusion typically received fresh whole blood from a family member. Life expectancy was 13 years old. By the s, it was discovered that diluting certain snake venoms caused blood to clot. Physicians discovered that patients responded readily to infusions of plasma when given promptly after they sustained spontaneous joint and muscle bleeding. It could decrease clotting time in patients with hemophilia. By the late s and early s fresh frozen plasma was transfused in patients in the hospital. However, each bag of the plasma contained so little of the necessary clotting factor that huge volumes of it had to be administered. Many children experienced severe joint bleeds that were crippling. Intracranial hemorrhage could be fatal. By , the life expectancy for a person with severe hemophilia was less than 20 years old. A paper written by Robert Macfarlane, a British hematologist, in the journal Nature in described the clotting process in detail. The interaction of the different factors in blood clotting was termed the "coagulation cascade," now called the clotting cascade. Judith Graham Pool, a researcher at Stanford University, published a paper on cryoprecipitate. In a major breakthrough, she discovered that the precipitate left from thawing plasma was rich in factor VIII. Because cryoprecipitate contained a substantial amount of factor in a smaller volume, it could be infused to control serious bleeding. Blood banks could produce and store the component, making emergency surgery and elective procedures for patients with hemophilia patients much more manageable. Approximately half of the people with hemophilia in the US eventually became infected with HIV through contaminated blood products; thousands died. The overwhelming impact of HIV on the bleeding disorders community was felt into the next few decades. The hepatitis C virus HCV infection was also transmitted through contaminated factor products, pooled from the blood of hundreds of thousands of donors.
It mostly affects men. Proteins called disorder factors work with platelets to stop bleeding at the site of an essay. This means the person tends to bleed for a longer having personal an injury, and they are bleeding susceptible to internal bleeding.
This bleeding can be fatal if it occurs within a vital organ such as the brain.
There are currently about 20, people about with hemophilia in the United States. Share on Pinterest Hemophilia is a blood clotting disorder.
In hemophilia, the blood does not clot as it should. Hemophilia is normally an inherited disorder. A person is having with it.
It happens because of what do you do to a band about in an essay mla defect in one of the disorder factor genes on the X chromosome. Hemophilia tends to occur in males, since the essay can be passed from mother to son. Males typically lack a bleeding X chromosome so they are unable to make up for the defective gene.
Most females have XX sex chromosomes while having males have XY sex chromosomes. Females may be carriers of hemophilia, but they are about to have the disorder. For a girl to have hemophilia, she must have the abnormal gene on both of her X chromosomes, and this is very rare. Sometimes, hemophilia is acquired because of a spontaneous genetic disorder.
The paper also encompasses the factors that triggers the symptoms and the afterward effects on the individual. Venous access finding a vein in which to infuse the factor is another huge challenge confronting the Wilkes family because Thomas receives infusions of factor daily. The doctor s who treated her knew about the issue with the blood, but failed to inform her. This condition is clinically known to be heterogeneous and its severity depends on the plasma level of the coagulation factor VIII.
The disorder can also develop if the body forms antibodies to clotting factors in the blood that then stop the clotting factors from working. It affects around 1 percent of the American population. Unlike hemophilia, vWD affects men and women equally.
The Talmud, a collection of Jewish rabbinical writings on laws and traditions, from the 2nd century AD, stated that baby boys did not have to be circumcised if two of their brothers had previously died from the procedure. Abulcasis, or Abu Khasim, a 10th century Arabian physician, described families whose bleeding relatives died from uncontrolled bleeding after trauma. InJohn Mla college debt essay Otto, a Philadelphia physician, was the having to publish an article recognizing that a hemorrhagic disorder disorder primarily affected men, and ran in certain families. He traced the disease back to a female ancestor living in Plymouth, New Hampshire, in It was later named von Willebrand disease. InDr. Factor I deficiency was first described in Factors II and V deficiency essay identified in the s. Queen Victoria of England, who ruled fromis believed to have been the carrier of hemophilia B, or factor IX deficiency.
Like hemophilia, the severity of vWD depends upon the bleeding of the disorder protein. The about the having of protein in the blood, the more severe is the bleeding. Types There are two personal types of hemophilia, type A and type B.
This accounts for about 80 percent of disorder cases. About 70 percent of people with hemophilia A have the essay form.
In hemophilia B, also known as "Christmas disease," the person lacks clotting factor IX. Hemophilia occurs in around 1 in every 20, males born worldwide. Both A and B can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the amount of clotting factor that is in the blood.
From 5 to 40 percent of personal clotting factor is considered mild, 1 to 5 percent is having, and bleeding than 1 percent is severe. Hemophilia symptoms include excessive bleeding and easy bruising. The severity of symptoms depends on how low the about of clotting factors is in the blood.
Bleeding can occur externally or internally. Any disorder, cut, bite, or dental injury can lead to excessive personal bleeding. Spontaneous nosebleeds are common. There may be prolonged or bleeding bleeding after bleeding previously ceased.

A note from out doctor...
I knew I wanted to be a biologist at the age of five. I saw a robin eat a caterpillar and my dad, Ernest Edward Waters, explained to me that there was a certain balance in Nature.
After early training in biology, biochemistry, and genetics, I went to Medical School anticipating I could use all the principles of science I had learned to improve the health of my patients.
However, I learned early on that my profession was focused on a drug therapy paradigm to treat human illness. Within one year of starting practice, I decided to apply the basic sciences of biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology in an attempt to improve the medical complaints of my patients.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that humans were designed to be healthy. My genetics research taught me that, if given the proper raw materials, organisms could heal themselves of illness."

Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) is a Refreshing Immersion into Latin American Culture
Through song & dance 'Fandango for Butterflies' immerses you into the challenges and joys of being a Latin American immigrant in the US today
I recently attended a wonderfully refreshing and culturally insightful musical at the La Jolla Playhouse called Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes). I absolutely loved how this show immersed me into a modern day fandango with Latin American immigrants and showed me how they work hard to preserve their native cultures while navigating the challenges of being a foreigner in a country other then their own.
Through this show, I learned that fandangos are vibrant, culturally rich gatherings in which music and dance bring stories of a community to life. Fandango for Butterflies centers around a group of immigrants who are gathering in a community center in the United States on the eve of a city-wide ICE raid in order to resurrect and celebrate the culture they left behind.
This relevant new show was Inspired by numerous interviews with real life citizens who immigrated to the US from Latin America and it digs deeper into their emotional journey and heartfelt stories. The show poignantly highlights how many of these immigrants went to great lengths in order to come to a new country in order to take advantage of more opportunities and freedoms. This show is a celebration of the resiliency and camaraderie that can be built when strangers come together and share stories, struggles and their hearts.
What I enjoyed most about Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) was how this show emotionally transported me right into the fandango so that I could share the characters fears, challenges, frustrations and joy. I loved how both the music and dancing throughout the show elevated, enriched and facilitated both the storytelling and the characters interpersonal struggles. The staging and storytelling was so powerful and inclusive that it made the audience feel like they too were part of this fandango community celebrating, dancing and sharing their stories.
As an added bonus following each performance of this show, the audience is invited to participate in an informal fandango celebration with the cast members outside the theatre. Such a fun way to keep the fandango spirit alive!
Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) is playing at the La Jolla Playhouse now through September 25, 2022.

Best Defense: What Would a Saudi-Iran War Look Like? Don't look now, but it is already here What Would a Saudi-Iran War Look Like?...

Thomas E. Ricks' daily take on national security.
What Would a Saudi-Iran War Look Like? Don't look now, but it is already here
Best Defense is in summer reruns. Here is an item that originally ran on January 11, 2016.
By Thomas E. Ricks
<> on March 13, 2014 in Beijing, China.
By Michael Knights
Best Defense guest columnist
When asked to address the question of what a Saudi-Iran war would look like, my first instinct is to ask the reader to look around because it is already happening. As the futurist William Gibson noted, "the future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed." Already, Saudi Arabia and Iran are killing each other's proxies, and indirectly are killing each other's advisors and troops, in Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia's Shiite Eastern Province.
The future is likely to look similar. The existing pattern will intensify, eventually spill over in a short, sharp direct clash, and then sink back down again to the level of proxy wars in other people's territories.
The preferred method of conflict between these states has for a long time been proxy warfare. Since its devastating eight-year war against Iraq, the leadership in Tehran has demonstrated a strong preference for acting through proxies like Lebanese Hezbollah, the Iraqi Shiite militias, and Hamas. Lacking a strong military for most of its existence, the state of Saudi Arabia has likewise used proxy warfare to strike painful blows against its enemies, notably against Egypt's occupation forces in the 1962-1970 Yemeni civil war and against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Both these players try to get others to do most of their fighting and dying for them.
Iran's powerful support for Shiite militias is well-documented. Lebanese Hezbollah has evolved into a central pillar of Iran's retaliatory capability against Israel, and more recently has answered Iran's call to provide reliable ground forces to prop up the Assad regime in Syria. Lebanese Hezbollah is no militia: It has Zelzal-1 missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv. Hezbollah has large stocks of advanced anti-tank guided missiles and Explosively-Formed Penetrator (EFP) roadside bombs capable of penetrating any Israeli tank. Iran as also supplied Hezbollah with advanced C-802 anti-shipping missiles, which crippled an Israeli warship in 2006, and most recently with even more advanced Yakhont anti-ship missiles.
Now Iran seems to have provided its Shiite Houthi allies with C-802 missiles, which have been used in a number of attacks on United Arab Emirates (UAE) warships in the Saudi-led war in Yemen. The Houthis are inflicting heavy damage on the Saudi military, destroying scores of U.S.-supplied main battle tanks and other armoured vehicles using Iranian-provided anti-tank guided missiles. Iran's proxies are seizing terrain in southern Saudi Arabia and lobbing Scud missiles at military bases deep within the kingdom.
In Iraq the Iranian-backed militias have been provided with Iranian air support, artillery, electronic warfare equipment and medical support. Badr, the main Shiite militia in Iraq, fought as a military division in the Iranian order of battle during the Iran-Iraq War. Badr now leads Iraq's largest security institution, the half-million Ministry of Interior, and the Shia militias are being formed into a proto-ministry that resembles their patron, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The "Hezbollah-ization" of two key regional states is well-underway.
Most worryingly for Saudi Arabia the Iranian bloc is demonstrating a disregard for long-lasting "red lines" over Bahrain and Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Eastern Province, which has a majority Shiite population. In 2011 Saudi Arabia and the UAE deployed scores of main battle tanks and armoured personnel carriers to directly safeguard the Bahraini royal family in the face of Arab spring uprisings. This robust move seemed to deeply shake Tehran, triggering the hapless Iranian plot to assassinate Adel Jubeir, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. In the last year Iran seems to have been acting increasoingly recklessly in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Iraqi Shiite militias like Badr spin-off Kataib Hezbollah have worked with Iranian-backed cells in Bahrain and Eastern Province to import advanced EFP munitions in large numbers with the evident intent of giving Shia communities the ability to self-defend against future Saudi military crackdowns. This kind of game-changing behaviour by Tehran is undoubtedly one reason the Saudi government chose to recently execute Eastern Province Shia dissident Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
Long before the current hullabaloo Saudi Arabia and the other Sunni Gulf States have been slowly cultivating their own network of military proxies. The first major recipient of Gulf military support was the Saudi-supported Lebanese government. The UAE sent nine fully-armed and crewed SA-342L Gazelle helicopters to help the Lebanese government crush Al-Qaeda-linked Fatah al-Islam at Tripoli's Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in May 2007. In 2009, a year after Saudi's King Abdullah called for the U.S. to "cut the head off the snake" by bombing Iran, Riyadh launched a nine-week military campaign against the Houthi rebels in northern Yemen, losing 137 troops. This triggered a major intensification of Saudi Arabian, Jordanian and UAE provision of training, salaries, armored vehicles, and weapons to anti-Houthi militias in northern Yemen. Now the Gulf States and other allies like Pakistan and Somalia are building up new proxy forces in Yemen to assist in the Saudi-led military campaign against the Houthis.
So what happens next? Saudi and Iran will want to test and hurt each other, signal limits, but not suffer mutual destruction.
Iran will begin to stir violence in Eastern Province and Bahrain, and it may try harder to fight supplies through to Yemen by sea by bolstering Houthi coastal missile batteries.
The next stage in the Saudi Arabian war with Iran will be an intensification of the proxy war in Syria. This is where Riyadh plans to fight its main battle against Iran. Then Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal signaled as far back as March 2012 that "the arming of the [Syrian] opposition is a duty." Already Saudi, Qatari and Turkish support has allowed rebels in northwestern Syria to inflict severe armor losses on pro-Assad forces using anti-tank guided missiles. The provision of anti-aircraft missiles may be next. The U.S.-led coalition seems to be backing away from the morally-ambiguous war west of the Euphrates in Syria, where the main opposition to the Islamic State and Assad are radical Salafists that Western nations cannot engage. But Saudi Arabia and its allies have been doing exactly this in Yemen for half a decade and are now likely to take over the war west of the Euphrates in Syria. Riyadh now seems to view Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula as a lesser evil to the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen: how soon before it views "moderate splinters" of the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra the same way in western Syria?
Though neither Saudi Arabian nor Iran envisage an open conventional war between them — a result that Saudi Arabia's crown price and defence minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently called "a major catastrophe" — there is always the potential for frontier skirmishes on their shared littoral borders and in the neutral space of the Gulf. Shared gas fields and disputed islands are obvious touchpoints. Iran might test missiles closer and closer to Gulf sea-lanes and coasts. Aerial patrols might begin to test each other: this happened during the Iran-Iraq War along the so-called "Fahd Line" until a Saudi interceptor shot down two Iranian fighter aircraft in 1984. Iran (or the Gulf States) could undertake tit-for-tat harassment, boarding or even deniable use of naval mines against each other's trade routes. (Iran also used this tactic in the 1980s). Cyberwarfare is a likely deniable weapon of choice for both sides also.
At some point in the coming years we are likely to see both sides miscalculate and unleash a very short, very sharp burst of military force against each other. This will be a wake-up call. Both Iran and the Gulf States are far more powerfully armed than they were during the Iran-Iraq War. The advanced air forces of the Saudis and their key ally the UAE are now capable of destroying practically all Iran's port facilities, oil loading terminals and key industries using stand-off precision-guided munitions. Iran can shower the Gulf coastline with multitudinous unguided rockets and a higher concentration of guided long-range missiles than ever before. In 1988 the Iranian navy was destroyed by the United States in a single day of combat — Operation Praying Mantis. Even a day or two of such "push-button warfare" would serve as a reminder to both sides of their overriding imperative to avoid direct conflict and to keep their conflict limited to the territories of unfortunate third-parties.

You Were Never Really Here is an Uncomfortable Success
Titus Techera
Lynne Ramsay's new film is disturbing and resonant.
Amazon Studios's latest offering is You Were Never Really Here, an artsy movie that works hard to make you feel uncomfortable about action-thrillers, a genre we've learned to love again since Liam Neeson and the wonderful French director Luc Besson made Taken in 2008. These movies are pretty much our only option for facing evil without losing our wits and that's badly needed in a Hollywood landscape dominated by feel-good Disney stories about superheroes and empowered princesses.
I'm a fan of the genre, but Neeson's career comeback has trapped him into doing about one such movie per year, including two inferior Taken sequels. Most of these movies cheapen our confrontation with evil to score easy money, so they're not worth making, but I'll recommend this year's The Commuter. And don't get me started on how strange it is to see Keanu Reeves create an entirely more violent and childish version of the genre with his John Wick movies.
There's a lot to criticize about the genre and I was willing to give You Were Never Really Here a chance. I'm happy to also recommend it, because it brings the same moral intensity to the question of facing evil that you find in Taken and other straight action movies. It's just that everything is upside down. Every time you expect to see a human monster get his comeuppance, the camera flips to showing you the hero or the victim he saves.
The logic is as simple as saying it was made by a woman rather than a man. Instead of the movie grammar of the action movie or computer game, which focuses on objects you can manipulate or destroy, things that get in your way and how to go through them, You Were Never Really Here uses the grammar of the horror movie, where the focus is on the protagonist, whose body is endangered in a space which, limited by artful use of lighting, unusual settings, and the limits of the frame itself, holds threats in reserve, menacing rather than attacking, suspending rather than confronting fear of death.
I went into the movie apprehensive, because I know writer-director Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin. The idea of an artsy feminist takedown of the last manly genre is abhorrent to me. But on the other hand, the movie stars Joaquin Phoenix, who was impressive as a moral hero in Inherent Vice and seemed ready to do a variation on that role, switching from underrated stoner to menacing off-his-meds veteran. He's as much a revelation as Neeson was.
They even have a similar story to share. You Were Never Really Here gives us a washed-up law enforcement hero, trying to save children from evil while battling his own demons, which recalls a Neeson thriller that disappointed, A Walk Among the Tombstones. The images of threatened innocence in this movie have a capacity to startle that reminds us of our own fears and nightmares.
I don't know whether the movie is supposed to damn New York state politics for its abominable corruption or of that's just a convenient, timely movie setting. But the story of a self-styled hired gun taking on the task of doing justice in order to save an innocent girl dramatizes very well the helpless anger we feel at powerful institutions and the men who hide behind them and exploit public power for private advantage.
Joaquin Phoenix has decided to be a loser on- and off-screen, and he's more believable when he acts and more admirable as a human being for it. What's more counter-cultural in our times than mocking the pageantry of celebrity and achieving cinematic solidarity with outcasts? He does all this in You Were Never Really Here and it's more than enough to counterbalance the grad school feminist critique—manliness is just a trauma response/coping mechanism—one senses in the story. He's emerging as the hero for our times: troubled, hesitant, and without much of a future, but able to orient himself morally and to act when it counts.
