On behalf of Gary Nelson of The Law Office of Gary C. Nelson posted in Industrial Workers' Accidents on Friday, October 16, 2015.
California transportation officials recently ordered what is known as a "safety stand down" in relation to a recent construction accident. The accident resulted in nine workers suffering a work injury. The work suspension, which will affect a widening project for the 91 freeway, is set to last for the weekend.
The accident occurred in Corona on a recent Friday in October, around 11 p.m. While a section of new highway was lowered into place, it dropped suddenly, falling more than a foot. As a result, it hit the wooden support beams that were beneath it, which, in turn, struck a number of workers.
Nine workers who were below the bridge deck suffered injuries, and three of them were critically injured. As of last Saturday, eight remained in the hospital, according to the Riverside County Transportation Commission. The investigation is currently underway, but apparently the fault lay in the jacking operation, which caused the deck to drop around 16 inches.
A work halt is common whenever a serious accident occurs on a construction site and involves injuries. However, the work will likely resume far before the workers who suffered a work injury will be able to return to work. Anyone injured on the job has the right to seek legal advice and assistance after an accident occurs on the job. In the case of this workplace accident, the nine workers are entitled to submit workers' compensation claims, seeking to recoup some of the financial losses incurred due to lost pay and medical bills. In the state of California, an experienced workers' compensation lawyer can help individuals with similar types of legal claims.

This important gilded case Gallery Clock was made by the firm of Stephenson, Howard & Davis in Boston, Massachusetts in 1848.
This outstanding example measures approximately 31 inches in diameter. The case is gilded and is in excellent condition.
The wooden mahogany dial measures approximately 22 inches in diameter. This is a convex form. In fact, it is a board that has had it's edges planed thin. It is this tapering detail that adds to the three dimension quality of the clock case. The dial is then fitted into a shallow recess and is held in place with brass screws. This dial retains it's original paint. It is signed by the clockmaker, "Stephenson, Howard & Davis / Boston" in bold block lettering just below the center arbor. The Roman hour numerals are large and easy to read. The quarter hours are marked with Arabic figures. The time is indicated by the two wonderfully shaped steel hands. Both hands appear to be original to this example.
The brass constructed movement is located behind the dial. Long trapezoidal shaped plates frame the movement. The front plate bears the Maker's die stamp. It reads, "Stephenson / Howard & / Davis / BOSTON." The movement is weight driven and designed to run eight days on a full wind. The gears are nicely made and the quality is excellent throughout. The large minute hand is counter balanced by a weight that is positioned behind the backplate. One can see the circular grove in the backboard that it travels in. The pendulum features a brass covered bob. The timing is adjustable from the top of the movement via a post that pierces the dial.
This very rare and important clock was made in 1845.
Stephenson, Howard & Davis, clockmakers and balance makers working in Boston together in 1844-1847. This partnership consisted of Luther Stephenson, Edward Howard and David P. Davis. Stephenson was a scale or Balance maker working in Hingham, Massachusetts before he joined Howard & Davis. Both Howard & Davis were clockmakers an served their apprenticeship with Aaron Willard Jr.


Read the first chapter of The Dark Forest, the much-anticipated sequel to The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, coming out on August 11th.
This was Wu Yue's first thought as he faced Tang, the massive ship under construction in front of him, bathed in the flickering of electric arcs. Of course, this impression was simply the result of countless inconsequential smudges on the manganese steel plates of the ship's nearly completed body, left behind by the advanced gas-shield welding used on the hull. He tried unsuccessfully to imagine how sturdy and new Tang would look with a fresh coat of gray paint.
Tang's fourth offshore fleet training session had just concluded. During that two-month session, Tang's commanders, Wu Yue and Zhang Beihai, who was standing just beside Wu Yue, had occupied an uncomfortable role. Formations of destroyers, submarines, and supply ships were directed by battle group commanders, but Tang was still under construction in the dock, so the carrier's position was either occupied by the training ship Zheng He or simply left empty. During the sessions, Wu Yue often stared vacantly at an empty patch of sea where the surface of the water, disturbed by crisscrossing trails left by passing ships, undulated uneasily, much like his mood. Would the empty spot ever be filled? he asked himself more than once.
Looking now at the unfinished Tang, what he saw was not just age but the passage of time itself. It seemed like an ancient, giant, discarded fortress, its mottled body a stone wall, the shower of welding sparks falling from the scaffolding like plants covering the stones … like it was less construction than archeology.
Afraid of pursuing these thoughts, Wu Yue turned his attention to Zhang Beihai next to him. "Is your father any better?" he asked.
Then they went silent. Every social interaction between the two of them was like this. Where work was concerned they had more to say, of course, but something always lay between them.
"We've communicated just fine in the past. Our superiors put us together on Tang, no doubt thanks to our successful cooperation aboard Chang'an." Zhang Beihai laughed as he said this, but it was the sort of laugh that Wu Yue couldn't read. Zhang Beihai's eyes could easily read deep into the heart of everyone aboard the ship, be they captain or sailor. Wu Yue was entirely transparent to him. But Wu Yue could not read what was inside Zhang. He was certain that the man's smile came from within him, but had no hope of understanding him. Successful cooperation does not equate to successful understanding. There was no question that Zhang Beihai was the most capable political commissar on the ship, and he was forthright in his work, exploring every last issue with complete precision. But his internal world was a bottomless gray to Wu Yue, who always felt like Zhang Beihai was saying: Just do it this way. This way's best, or most correct. But it's not what I really want. It began as an indistinct feeling that grew increasingly obvious. Of course, whatever Zhang Beihai did was always the best or most correct, but Wu Yue had no idea what he actually wanted.
Wu Yue adhered to one article of faith: Command of a warship was a dangerous position, so the two commanders must understand each other's minds. This presented Wu Yue with a knotty problem. At first, he thought that Zhang Beihai was somehow on guard, which offended Wu. In the tough post of captain of a destroyer, was anyone more forthright and guileless than he was? What do I have worth guarding against?
"Let's get a closer look," Zhang Beihai said, pointing to Tang through the sparks. Then both their phones chirped at the same time: a text message recalling them back to their car. This usually meant an emergency, since secured communications equipment was only available in the vehicle. Wu Yue opened the car door and picked up the receiver. It was a call from an advisor at battle group HQ.
The captain and commissar of the still-unlaunched Tang glanced at each other, then had one of the rare moments throughout the years where their thoughts aligned: Looks like that patch of water will remain empty.
Fort Greely, Alaska. Several fallow deer ambling along the snowy plain grew alert, sensing vibrations in the earth beneath the snow. Ahead of them, a white hemisphere opened. It had been placed there long ago, a giant egg half-buried beneath the ground, but the deer always felt it didn't belong to this frozen world. The egg split open and issued forth thick smoke and flames, then, with a roar, it hatched a cylinder that accelerated upward, spurting flames from its bottom. The surrounding snowdrifts were thrown by the fire into the air, where they fell again as rain. When the cylinder gained enough height, the explosions that had terrified the deer were again replaced by peace. The cylinder vanished into the sky trailing a long white tail behind it, as if the snowscape was a giant ball of yarn from which a giant invisible hand had pulled a strand skyward.
"Damn it! Just a few more seconds and I'd have confirmed a launch interrupt!" said Target Screening Officer Raeder as he tossed aside his mouse. Raeder was thousands of kilometers away in the Nuclear Missile Defense Control Room at the NORAD Command Center, three hundred meters beneath Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs.
"I figured it was nothing as soon as the system warning came up," Orbital Monitor Jones said, shaking his head.
"Then what's the system attacking?" asked General Fitzroy. Nuclear Missile Defense was just one of the duties of his new position, and he wasn't entirely familiar with it yet. Looking at the monitor-covered wall, the general attempted to locate the intuitive graphical displays they'd had at the NASA control center: a red line snaking across the world map, forming a sine wave atop the map's planar transformation. Novices found this inexplicable, but at least it let you know that something was shooting into space. But there was nothing so simple here. The lines on the screens were a complicated, abstract jumble that was meaningless to him. Not to mention all the screens with swiftly scrolling numbers that had meaning only to the NMD duty officers.
"It is. Here." Raeder brought up a page with his mouse. Below piles of complicated text, data, and forms, there was an inconspicuous photograph, probably taken with an Earth telescope, of an irregular white patch against a black background. The strong reflection made it difficult to make out details.
"The system ought to have searched the target database automatically. Human reaction times aren't quick enough. But data from the old system hasn't been reformatted for the new one, so it wasn't linked in with the recognition module," Raeder said. His tone was a little aggrieved, as if to say,I've demonstrated my proficiency by managing to pull this up so quickly in a manual search when the NMD supercomputer couldn't, but I still have to put up with your clueless questions.
"General, the order came to switch over to actual operational state after the NMD moved its intercept headings into space, but before software recalibration was completed," a duty officer said.
Fitzroy said nothing. The chatter of the control room annoyed him. Here in front of him was humanity's first planetary defense system, but it was nothing more than an existing NMD system whose intercepts had been redirected from various terrestrial continents and into space.
"Cameras are prohibited," Raeder said coldly.
"It's more fun from outside," Raeder said.
"Mine too, General," Raeder said. This was just a courtesy. Fitzroy was a high-level coordinator with the Planetary Defense Council and had no command over NORAD and the NMDs.
Raeder and Jones headed topside at a run. After passing through the multi-ton antiradiation door, they were out on the peak of Cheyenne Mountain. It was dusk and the sky was clear, but they didn't see the flash of a nuclear blast in outer space.
"It should be right there," Jones said, gesturing skyward.
"Unlikely. It's intelligent. It won't give us another chance," Jones said.

Quote: "If your gonna be dum, you better be tuff."
Frost is a generally good natured guy. He laughs alot, his ideal is that laughter is good medicine. So he trys to make everyone around him laugh and smile. He is a very proud individual, and takes pride in all he's done. On occasion he gets a little moody, usually when a problem arises he can't fix. Frost has a terrible temper, when it arises. Most times he laughs it off. But it on rare occasions it gets the better of him, when that happens Frost seeks to be alone. At times such as this he goes to some place quiet to calm down and clear his head. He never laughs at anyone in trouble unless the they thinks its funny. Frost is also highly opinionated and will speak his mind given the chance. His English has a bit of slang to it. Sort of a southern accent, due to the fact that the person he learned it from spoke horrible English.
What does he like?
He enjoys helping others very much. Most especially children who usually ask him to fix a broken toy of somesort. He loves videogames and rock music from Earth. Graveball is a favorite pastime, although he longs to play Earth sports such as golf and professional bass fishing. He is attracted to any thing shiny.
Dislike?
Frost dislikes anyone who would harm a cub or female. He doesn't enjoy seeing others being made fun of. Those beings who think their better than everyone else should steer clear of him. To him everyone is equal. He doesn't like to talk about his past childhood. He doesn't like for anyone screaming in his face. Anyone looking over his shoulder while he works makes him nervous.
Strong points
His pride is one of his strong points, because of this he is very devoted to his job. When he starts a project he'll see it through to the end whether good or bad. His emotional strength is enormous. He never panics in a crisis, saying "Panicing only makes the situation worse because you lose your head."
Weak points
For him his pride is a double edged sword. More than once his pride has gotten him in big trouble. If someone tells him he can't he has to show them wrong. If told he can't do something and him knowing he can't, he'll try anyway. Most always with bad results. When ever his pride is hurt, he will laugh and bottle his shame up inside himself.
What he wold never do.
He would never pick a fight or needlessly harm anyone. Frost would never harm or verbally abuse a female or cub. Talking out a problem is more his style and he'll try that first. He won't throw the first lick, but he won't take one without giving one back either. If his temper flairs up it is uncertain what he will do.
How he interacts with others.
He works well with others. Although he prefers to work alone. This keeps his job simple, not having to go behind someone else looking for screw-ups. Occasionally a job comes up were he can't do it alone, at such times he welcomes the assistance.
No kind of regular weapons. No knives, guns, or explosives. Although he does carry a bag of tools with him most of the time. Hammer, wrenches, a small torch, etc. Even if it comes to a fight, he won't use his tools as weapons. In his opinion using a weapon is the cowards way out.
Tyberius " Frost" Luthera is a mature male wolf of medium build. He weighs 237lbs. and is 7' 5". His coloration is brown with blond on the tip of his tail. Blond feet and hands, and blond on his chest and belly. His hair is short with blond tips. His eyes are gold with green in them. His clothing is a bit tacky by most standards. Blue denim pants, short sleeve shirt of some color (depends on what he's got clean at the moment), and a black vest with several pockets bulging with what he calls useful items. Small flashlight, lighter (for his torch), and useally a bag of sunflower seeds. On his forehead he wears welding goggles.
Quality's and traits
Frost works well with others and is good at solving problems. He has a nack for making due with what he's got. I believe he would make a good instructor someday. But for now maintenance is fine for him. He's an accomplished welder and carpenter. He is also a tinker, meaning he likes to build useful items, or useless items. Such as a hoverboard with a small propulsion rocket for more speed. He broke two ribs when it exploded.
Why the Academy
He ended up on Mars because he was a mechanic on a delivery barge that was making a stop there. He got off and never got back on. Asking for a job he was asked what were his skills, he was hired on after a short hands-on test. He's one of many mechanics working at the spaceport. He doesn't want to go back to Cyantzium, to many memories he says.
His goals are to one day visit Earth, and hopefully be head Engineer at the academy. He doesn't want to be a Tech-no Mage, "to many implants" he says. "Besides the though of warping from one place to another really freaks me out." Frost wants to visit Earth as a tourist. As of the current situation Earth is too dangerous to be a tourist stop.
Opinion on other wolves
He doesn't rank himself physically Superior to other wolves. Just mentally 'more prepared' for situations where ingenuity is needed. To him wolves are like any other species you have those you like and those you prefer to stay away from. Females are always a problem for him. If there are any single females in sight range, he'll can usually be found trying to get their names etc., providing he can get a minute to do so. He has come back from such ventures with a bloody nose or black eye.
Foxes, felines, etc., his out look is the same as for wolves. You have good personalities and bad personalities.
A curious species to Frost are the handful of skunks at the academy that smell un-skunky. Peaches, strawberry, cedar, and mint. He just can't figure that fact out. Humans are an oddity to Frost, they have no fur, and flat faces. He finds them fascinating to be around. The though of a whole planet where his species is domesticated by these creatures fascinates and scares him.
Frost's history is a sad one. He was born to a pair of low class wolves in one of the northern wolf-cities. They lived on the sixth floor of an apartment complex. His father was a security officer, and a bit of a junky. His mother was home all day taking care of Tyberius. His father and mother were not a happy couple. Father worked all day and came home late. Usually in a bad mood. Some nights his parents would argue and fight. Father always won in the end. He would leave for a day or so, and return all sorry, begging for his mate to take him back. Which being the loving individual she was, did.
One night however, when Tyberius was about ten, Father came home messed up on something. He kicked the door down and yelled out "Come here you *____*, and bring that little brat with you!" Tyberius was on the couch when his mother came running into the room. His father pulled out a small beam saber and quickly slashed his mate across the chest. Mother was able to step back quick enough to keep from being sliced half in to, but the damage was done. As she lay there on the floor bleeding out watching with horror as father turned to Tyberius and said " your turn brat" With a snarl that would be later explained as a roar, Mother threw herself headlong in to her deranged mate. The force of her attack driving them both out the shattered doorway and over the banister rail. Where they fell to their deaths.
Tyberius' remaining family took him in only to send him to an orphanage after a short time. After all he had been through he never spoke more than two words to anyone at a time. He never laughed, if he tripped and fell down he never cry-ed. No one could ever get an emotional responce. The other children stayed clear of him saying he was weird. The Mistress of the orphanage would tell anyone who came to adopt what had happened to him and say it left him cold. the other children would over hear these conversations, in doing so they nicknamed him Frost, for being so emotionally cold.
Sadly he bounced from one foster home to another only to return to the orphanage. This went on until he was thirteen.One winter, after being sent back to the orphanage, snow was falling and the head mistress let all the children out to play. While out there, one of the older children a young grey wolf about fifteen, started picking on a new kid. A female blue fox kit about eleven years of age. Named Maria Vonhirum, she was a sweet child alway laughing and singing. Maria was the only one who could get Frost to speak, though only through persistence could she make him laugh. Frost took a liking to Maria, but he never showed it.
The bully started calling her names, making her cry. This made Frosts temper slowly start to creep up. She called him a name back. In responce the bully punched Maria on the nose. Frost snapped he'd never been so mad. With a snarl he plowed into the bully, knocking him to the ground. In a flash Frost was on top of him, with his fang around his adversary's throat he proceeded to bite into his enemy's jugular vein, were life bubbled beneath the surface. Then with a loud crack, everything went black.
He came to later on a bed inside the orphanage. The head mistress had seen what happend, and hit Frost over the head with her walking stick. Security officers came and took Frost away telling him if his jaws had been stronger he could have been convicted of murder. As the carried him out the door Maria rushed up and hugged his neck saying "You would kill someone for me, why?" Frost responce was more than what was expected, "Maria you are a good person, you are kind and gentle. I could not watch him hurt you and do nothing. I sat by once before and lost it all. Never again! Maybe someday I'll see you again. Goodbye friend." With that he was hauled away.
He ended up in a southern wolf-city mental asylum. Several months of therapy helped to put his past behind him. After he was listed as stable he was released. He was banned from returning to the orphanage. He was finally taken in by an old mouse named Joseph. Joseph was a head mechanic at a spaceport, and he put Frost to work right away. "Dat boy needs a purpose" he would say in his own slang. Working at a spaceport as a helper he learned to fix craft. He discovered he liked fixing things. In working with old Joseph Frost learned (bad) English. When he turned sixteen he got a job as an assistant mechanic on a cargo barge and left Cyantian. Before he left he asked Joseph what did he think? Joseph told him, in his own particular way, "You grown enough to do what you want. But I say you never give up, and you never lose." He hugged Josephs neck and got on the starcraft. With tears in his eye's he waved goodbye. The door shut and Joseph passed out of his life.
He worked for the Capitan of the cargo barge for five years. Fixing damage to the hull, and loading and unloading cargo. Then finally the ship he was on went to Mars. He got off totally amazed. After a short while in port the Capitan asked him to accompany him to the ports head office. Frost asked the Capitan what they were doing, the Capitan told him " Their taking applications for mechanics, and your going to sign up." Frost looked confused. "I'm not taking you with me when I leave here. You've got potential Tyberius, and I won't let you waste it being a simple mechanic on an old run down ship like mine." " Make something of yourself . Make it to were when you look back you can say I did that, and I have no regrets." After a short hands-on test he was hired on as a mechanic. He's been at the academy for about a year now. Living in a small apartment close to the spaceport.
Frost has tried more than once, since landing on Mars, to find his childhood friend Maria Vonhirum. Sadly the orphange they met in wont give out any info on her were abouts.

A: You could use ROW_NUMBER in a CTE:
WITH CTE AS
(
    SELECT c.CategoryName,
           s.Status,
           d.Date,
           dateNum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CatId, d.Status
                                        ORDER BY Date DESC)
    FROM Category c
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Data d
        ON c.CategorySerno = d.CatId
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Status s
        ON d.Status = s.StatusSerno
)
SELECT CategoryName, Status, Date
FROM CTE
WHERE dateNum = 1

Demo-Fiddle

A: You prabobly have mismatch between SELECT and GROUP BY columns withch couse duplications
Try this:
SELECT Category.CategoryName, Status.Status, MAX(Data.Date) Data
FROM Data
LEFT JOIN Category ON Category.CategorySerno = Data.CatId
LEFT JOIN Status ON Status.StatusSerno = Data.Status
GROUP BY Category.CategoryName, Status.Status

A: You don't mention the RDBMS you're working in but you might try starting with something like:
SELECT
    c.CategoryName
,   s.Status
,   d.Date
FROM
    Data                     d
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Category c ON d.CatId  = c.CategorySerno
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Status   s ON d.Status = s.StatusSerno
WHERE
    d.date=(
        SELECT
            max(dd.date)
        FROM
            Data dd
        WHERE
            d.CatId  = dd.CatId
            AND
            d.Status = dd.Status
    ) z

To make this more maintainable in the long run, consider using a convention to identify the primary keys in any table, e.g., table_name_id, and use this same convention for foreign keys. Employing this convention address questions like: is a "CategorySerno" a "CatId"?

A: SELECT CategoryName, Status.Status, MAX(Data.Date) FROM Category
LEFT OUTER JOIN Data ON CategorySerno = CatId
LEFT OUTER JOIN Status ON Data.Status = Status.StatusSerno
GROUP BY CategoryName, Status.Status

WILLOW (2022)
Warwick Davis, Erin Kellyman, Ellie Bamber, Tony Revolori, Ruby Cruz
The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond.
Written By Darren
Rating 3.5 out of 5
Willow takes audiences back to the magical world of Ron Howard's 1988 film, delivering an exciting and visually stunning fantasy adventure that conjures up an exciting watch.
While audiences today may not have heard of the original film that this new television series acts as a sequel to, the world and characters that Ron Howard and George Lucas created in that film are ripe for a sequel. And with other streamers all having a fantasy series as part of their original programming, there is no better time for Disney to reboot Willow, filling the void for a fantasy series that is more accessible to younger audiences.
Set twenty years after the events of the original film, the series finds Elora Danan's identity kept secret, even from herself, while Madmartigan has been missing for years on a quest. But when Madmartigan's son Prince Airk is kidnapped by a dangerous and powerful enemy, a group of misfits seek out the help of legendary sorcerer Willow Ufgood to guide them on their quest to rescue Arik. While on their quest, dark forces chase down Willow and the rest of the group, suspecting that one of them is Elora Danan in disguise and is the only one with the potential to stop the dark powers who kidnapped Arik.
The series creates a grand adventure, full of action, excitement, thrills, danger and magic, harkening back to the adventure films of the 70s and 80s, capturing the spirit that Howard and Lucas infused the original film with. It comes as no surprise that this is the tone of the series with Jonathan Kasdan as its creator, clearly echoing the work of his father Lawrence Kasdan in Star Wars. While it is a sequel to the original film, full of callbacks and characters that will have fans of the film excited to see grace their screen again, the series's overall story is easy enough for newcomers to this world to follow and enjoy. It is certain that fans of the original film will get the most out of this series, fully digesting the mythology of the world and all the fun cameos, but there is enough to entertain the more casual viewers who have not grown up with the original film.
The mystery of which character, if any, is Elora Danan builds the mystery of the story right from the premiere episode but is revealed early on in the series, allowing the characters to grapple with this revelation and set their individual character arcs in different directions. While the series is never short on action or magic, the writing devotes time to each character to fully develop their personal journey over the course of the series, their relationships with the other characters, and their internal struggle that emotionally bonds the audience to them. The season has a clear destination it is working towards, and each episode moves our characters closer to that destination while acting as the next logical step in the story, building the audience's anticipation for the moment for the heroes to confront the evil that they are destined to confront.
Hanging over the entire series is the absence of Val Kilmer's Madmartigan, due to Kilmer recovering from throat cancer. But the writing ensures that Madmartigan is an important part of the story, ensuring that his character is still central to the overall story despite him not appearing on screen. While doing so, the series pays tribute to Kilmer's wonderful performance in the original film, ensuring that his impact on this world is not forgotten by the audience or any of the characters.
Warwick Davis returns as Willow, and it's great to see him return to this role. As a more seasoned and wise Willow, Davis is magical in the mentor role as he guides this new generation of characters, while struggling internally with the information he has and is hiding from the rest of the characters. There is a sorrow to him that you can feel, while also possessing a joyful disposition that captures the fun, younger version of his character from the original film.
The younger cast members playing the main characters are all good, each of them shining when the script puts the focus on them. Erin Kellyman is fierce as Jade, finally providing her with the meaty leading role she deserves after supporting roles in Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Green Knight, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Ellie Bamber captures the optimism and determination of Dove, creating one of my favourite characters of the series, while Ruby Cruz captures the complex internal struggle of Kit as she grapples with the absence of her father, the role her mother expects her to play, and who she truly is. While the young cast and Davis are the leads of the series, lots of actors from the original film return and reprise their roles such as Joanne Whalley, Kevin Pollak and Rick Overton, and seeing them return all these years later is great.
My favourite aspect of the film was James Horner's majestic and energetic musical score, and while James Newton Howard's themes are good, the overall musical score only soars while re-using Horner's original themes.
The standout of the series is the visuals, because this is easily one of the most visually stunning films and shows I have seen all year! Shot on location in Wales, the film utilizes the natural beauty of Wales to bring to life this magical world. The production design is stunning, complementing the world with detailed sets that blend perfectly into the natural beauty of Wales and great costume design. Like the original film, the film emphasizes practical effects and makeup to bring to life the magical creatures inhabiting this world. It creates a world that the actors can interact with, allowing the magic to jump off the screen and make the audience believe this world is real. And when the show does rely on CGI, the CGI is incredible and never for a second looks fake, seamlessly combining with the stunning natural beauty of the world to create a magical experience unlike anything else. Combined with great cinematography, especially during the Shattered Sea sequence which results in some of the most stunning shots of the entire year, it has been a while since we have seen a television series that looks this incredible!
While I have still yet to see the finale, and I am eagerly awaiting to find out what happens after that cliffhanger that concluded the seventh episode, I can wholeheartedly recommend Willow to any fantasy fans out there. With gorgeous visuals to spare, this magical word and epic adventure comes to life in Disney+'s latest original series Willow, certain to put audiences under a spell over the coming weeks.

Home Editor's picks Congress is lying about Home Ministry order on intercepting computer data allowing snooping on general public
Fact-CheckPolitical Fact-CheckPolitics
Congress is lying about Home Ministry order on intercepting computer data allowing snooping on general public
The MHA order specifies which agencies can intercept communication under the IT Act
On December 20, government India issued a notification in the Gazette of India, which seems to give various investigating agencies sweeping powers to snoop on any computer device. The order issued by Ministry of Home Affairs authorises ten listed Security and Intelligence Agencies to intercept, monitor and decrypt any information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The order issued by MHA
Expectedly, this caused massive outrage on social media and even in the parliament. This was termed as a violation of the privacy of citizens by Modi government. Congress party alleged that police have been given sweeping power to tape any phone and intercept any computer communication. They said that India is being turned into a police state by this order.
If we look into the MHA order carefully, we can see that there is no basis to these allegations. The government has not issued any new order, rather they have reiterated an order which is already there in the law books. The order cites that is has been issued under sub-section (1) of section 69 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Interception, Monitoring and Decryption of Information) Rules, 2009.
It is important to note that the Information Technology Act, 2000 was passed by the parliament without any discussion or opposition in the parliament. This is what section 69 of the said act says:
Section 69 of Information Technology Act, 2000
The sub-section 1 of section 69 makes it very clear that authorities will be allowed intercept any information transmitted through any computer device only in cases of threat to integrity and security of the country, a threat to law and order and incitement to any cognizable offence. This is not a general snooping on all citizens as Congress party and others are alleging.
Speaking in Rajya Sabha, finance minister Arun Jaitley also said that this power has been given only for specific cases as mentioned in the IT Act. It is important to note that the order clarifies powers to investigating agencies under the IT Act, it does not amend the Act. This means the provisions of section 69(1) of the Information Technology act will continue to prevail.
Now if we see the Information Technology Rules, 2009 issued by the then Congress government, which has also been cited in the MHA order, we can see that the current order is nothing new. The provision in the order already exists for last one decade. Section 4(1) of the Rules say:
(1) The competent authority may authorise any agency of the government for monitoring and collection of traffic data or information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource.
This is the same language used in the MHA order, the only difference is that instead of saying 'authorise any agency', it now specifies which agencies are authorised to use this power. The 10 agencies mentioned in the order are the usual agencies that carry out investigations in the country. Now the government has made the rule clearer by specifying which agencies can intercept computer-based communications on specific incidents of threats to national security and law and order.
Talking to media, law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad clarified that this order is fully constitutional, and said it does not allow snooping on the general public. He also said that under the provisions of IT act, necessary approvals will have to be obtained from Home Secretary before any interception is done. He also said that as ten agencies are mentioned in the order, other agencies are now not authorised to intercept computer-based communications unless they are authorised to do so on a case by case basis.
Congress lies

Ruchim: Market Access & Visibility Through SheTrades
Driven by both the limited availability of value-added products in Nigeria and keen desire to promote locally-sourced premium products, Drs Teju and Funke Bolujoko, Directors of RUCH Investment & Manufacturing (RUCHIM), combining expertise in their Chemical Engineering and Public Health, established the multi-award winning company twelve years ago to produce 100% natural herbal wellness teas.
The Nigerian company sources its raw materials like ginger, hibiscus, moringa, and turmeric from out-growers and cooperatives of widows and mothers in need of flexible income. To ensure that the raw materials it receives are of the best quality, RUCHIM obtained NAFDAC certification and other standards certifications and conducts site visits to its suppliers to ensure their compliance with quality standards.
Since joining the SheTrades Commonwealth programme in 2019, Dr Funke Bolujoko has attended nine SheTrades trainings, webinars, and on-site workshops on topics such as supply chain management, export market strategy development, export quality management, standards and sustainability, and food safety for the spices sector.
As a result of the above trainings, Dr Bolujoko decided not only to market her products as a Fast-Moving Consumer Good (FCMG) but also as a key component in the functional-food supply chain while the company has remodelled its product packaging to contain 20 sachets – as found in many other tea packages globally.
In addition to taking part in capacity building activities under the UK DFID-funded programme, RUCHIM also participated in two international trade fairs - ANUGA 2019 and Food Ingredients Europe (FIE) 2019. Both trade shows were crucial in helping the company break into the global stage.
From ANUGA, Dr Bolujoko met representatives of Shoprite and subsequently received her first order from this highly esteemed supermarket chain. The Nigerian company now distributes its Master Tea to 25 supermarket outlets across Nigeria – and second orders are already streaming in!.
Further, after following up on a lead from FIE 2019, RUCHIM entered into a local partnership with FoodCo for retailing and distribution. RUCHIM also received several requests for partnerships on private labelling and bulk exports from Croatia, France, Switzerland, and the UK.
With the expansion of this business, the Company hired an electrical engineer graduate from the National Youth Service Scheme to join her team for the next year.
"By the grace of God, I believe it is the beginning of greater things to come because of the visibility the Master Tea products had received from exhibiting under the SheTrades pavilion at the two international fairs," said Dr Funke Bolujoko.

'Steak and Kimchi': Jean Lee on the Start of Trump-Kim 2
By Jean H. Lee
@newsjean
What's unfolding in Hanoi is as dumbfounding as it was in Singapore: the president of the United States sitting down for steak and kimchi with the leader of an enemy state and calling him "my friend."
There are two ways to look at this: as grand theater designed to give these two leaders the drama and legitimacy they crave, or a historic moment with the potential to transform the long-fractured U.S.-North Korean relationship.
Actually, they are both. The summit gives President Donald Trump a chance to distract us from the dirt his former lawyer Michael Cohen is expected to dish out this week in Washington and grants the young, ambitious North Korean leader Kim Jong Un further legitimacy as a statesman.
But push the theater aside and if all goes well, they could emerge with a path and a plan for resolving a standoff that underpins the tensions that have shaped geopolitics in Northeast Asia for seven decades.
Much of the success of this summit will hinge on how much progress negotiators made in the days before their leaders' arrival, and whether the leaders stick to their aides' guidance. Was Steve Biegun and his team able to nail Kim Hyok Chol and the North Koreans down on precisely which elements of Pyongyang's nuclear program they are willing to relinquish in exchange for diplomatic, military, political and economic concessions? And will Trump and Kim respect their hard work?
Granting Kim Jong Un a second international platform to sit down with a U.S. president is already a major concession, given his country's pariah state. The United States must get more than vague promises and cosmetic gestures if we truly are heading toward denuclearization and a safer, more peaceful future for the Korean Peninsula.
Kim's objective will be to hold onto his nuclear assets for as long as he can, giving up elements piecemeal in exchange for concessions, all the while claiming to be a champion of denuclearization. That's understandable: nuclear weapons are his main bargaining chip, and Washington should be prepared to reward concrete moves toward dismantling and disabling this program. The more explicitly these steps are laid out, the better.
I believe Kim does want a changed relationship with the United States, and to improve his country's shattered economy. But we need to remember that he sacrificed his people's well-being, making decisions that deprived them of food, clean water, electricity, heat and medicine, in order to build nuclear weapons. He won't be willing to give his weapons up readily, and may be prepared to sacrifice his people again if things don't go his way. North Korea has a history of blaming the United States for backtracking on promises (and some of their complaints are valid) and using those perceived transgressions as an excuse to revert to provocation.
It's easy to get wrapped up in the fanfare and propaganda. But as the summit gets under way, it's important to remember that this is not a celebration but a negotiation, and that it will be tough one no matter how strong their "special relationship." Drama aside, these leaders are under pressure to produce a plan to transform one of the most intransigent standoffs of the modern era if it is to be deemed a success.

Huawei's founder, Meng Wanzhou [Photo: CNN]
Huawei executive arrest threatens China-U.S. trade truce
The daughter of Huawei's founder, Meng Wanzhou, a top executive at the Chinese technology giant, was arrested in Canada and faces extradition to the United States.
The sensational arrest of Meng has shocked global stock markets as it threatened to inflame Sino-U.S.trade tensions afresh.
The shock arrest of Meng, 46, who is Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's Chief Financial Officer, raises fresh doubts over a 90-day truce on trade struck between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping on Saturday – the day she was detained.
Her arrest, revealed late on Wednesday by Canadian authorities, is related to U.S. sanctions, a person familiar with the matter said.
Huawei is already under intense scrutiny from U.S. and other western governments about its ties to the Chinese government, driven by concerns it could be used by the state for spying.
It has been locked out of the U.S. and some other markets for telecom gear.
Huawei has repeatedly insisted Beijing has no influence over it.
Meng, one of the vice chairs on the company's board and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested on Dec. 1 at the request of U.S. authorities.
A court hearing has been set for Friday, a Canadian Justice Department spokesman said. Trump and Xi had dined in Argentina on Dec. 1 at the G20 summit.
Sources told Reuters in April that U.S. authorities have been probing Huawei, the world's largest telecoms equipment maker, since at least 2016 for allegedly shipping U.S.-origin products to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws.
Huawei, which generated $93 billion in revenue last year, confirmed the arrest in a statement. "The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng," it said.
She was detained when she was transferring flights in Canada, it added.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a daily briefing on Thursday that China had asked Canada and the United States for an explanation of Meng's arrest, but they have "not provided any clarification".
The Chinese consulate in Vancouver has been providing her assistance, he added, declining further comment.
On Wednesday, China's embassy in Canada said it resolutely opposed the arrest and called for her immediate release.
Reuters was unable to determine the precise nature of the possible violations.
The arrest and any potential sanctions on the world's second biggest smart phone maker could have major repercussions on the global technology supply chain.
Shares in Asian suppliers to Huawei, which also counts Qualcomm Inc and Intel among its major suppliers, tumbled on Thursday.
. In April, the sources told Reuters the U.S. Justice Department probe was being handled by the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn.
The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday declined to comment. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn also declined to comment.
"You can play hardball with a small country but you can't do it with the U.S.," he said. "Actually it hurts them to make life difficult" for U.S. companies.
A user of China's Twitter-like Weibo platform said Chinese should boycott products made by U.S. tech giant Apple Inc and instead buy Huawei products to show support for one of China's national champions.
However, the topic ranked only 31st among trending items on Weibo as of Thursday afternoon, with many discussion threads apparently blocked, which is not unusual on China's heavily censored Internet.
Jia Wenshan, a professor at Chapman University in California, said the arrest "runs a huge risk of derailing the U.S.-China trade talks".
While Meng's arrest comes at a delicate time in U.S.-China relations, it was not clear if the timing was coincidental.
The probe of Huawei is similar to one that threatened the survival of China's ZTE Corp, which pleaded guilty in 2017 to violating U.S. laws that restrict the sale of American-made technology to Iran.
Earlier this year, the United States banned American firms from selling parts and software to ZTE, which then paid $1 billion this summer as part of a deal to get the ban lifted.
Huawei has said it complies with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and U.S. and other regulations.
News of the arrest came the same day Britain's BT Group said it was removing Huawei's equipment from the core of its existing 3G and 4G mobile operations and would not use the Chinese company in central parts of the next network.
In January 2013, Reuters reported that Hong Kong-based Skycom Tech Co Ltd, which attempted to sell embargoed Hewlett-Packard computer equipment to Iran's largest mobile-phone operator, had much closer ties to Huawei than previously known.
Meng, who also has used the English names Cathy and Sabrina, served on the board of Skycom between February 2008 and April 2009, according to Skycom records filed with Hong Kong's Companies Registry.
Several other past and present Skycom directors appear to have connections to Huawei.
Meng's arrest drew a quick reaction in Washington.
U.S. Senator Ben Sasse praised the move and said that it was "for breaking U.S. sanctions against Iran."
He added: "Sometimes Chinese aggression is explicitly state-sponsored and sometimes it's laundered through many of Beijing's so-called 'private' sector entities."
U.S. stock futures and Asian shares tumbled as news of the arrest heightened the sense a major collision was brewing between the world's two largest economic powers, not just over tariffs but also over technological hegemony.
Shares of Huawei suppliers slumped on Thursday as investors fretted over the arrest.
Samsung Electronics fell 2.3 percent, while Chinasoft International Ltd sank as much as 13 percent. . (Reuters./NAN)

NOTES: Neotropical Institute Cut # 33. Bulk reel: 377; Extra cut(s) on bulk reel: 378; Extra cut length: 7:37 5:30 AM. Two birds calling "ao;" near one gives some mild conflict growls and it then flies toward the other bird that was calling. Quality: 1. Level: +8. Now focused on position where the birds are in an obvious conflict. Voice comments on tape. Conflict vocalizations and some "ao" calls. Flight sound @ end with a peculiar rattle. This may have been an abortive display. Note: At no time was a flight display given. Quality: 1. Level: 0. 5:40 AM. While I was changing tape, one of the birds started giving "courtship growls." Then one bird flew back to position of first bird this AM (with flight scream), then other followed (also with flight scream). This recording continues with mild conflict calls by bird in focus (other bird with "ao"), but apparently there are two birds together and some quiet conversation between them; became silent ~ 5:45 and nothing further heard after that.
