Tokyo Vice review: HBO's neo-noir is thrilling, but struggles to live up to Michael Mann's brilliant pilot
Tokyo Vice review: Despite a noticeable drop in quality after Michael Mann's excellent first episode, HBO Max's dense neo-noir is still a cut above similar crime dramas out there. Starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, the show is available in India on Lionsgate Play.

One of the best things about the Golden Age of Television—this was just before the streaming era—was when they'd get a 'name' director to helm the pilot episode, to set a visual and stylistic template for the rest of the show to follow. Martin Scorsese famously helmed the first episode of Boardwalk Empire, and the team behind Succession is still trying to mimic the distinct style Adam McKay brought to his pilot. Now, it is the turn of Michael Mann, who has returned over half-a-decade after his feature film Blackhat infamously bombed at the box office, to direct the pilot of HBO Max's Tokyo Vice. And what a pilot it is.

Brimming with the filmmaker's inimitable—we'll get to this in a moment—style, the near-wordless series premiere of Tokyo Vice introduces us to Jake Adelstein, an American expat living in Japan with ambitions of becoming an investigative reporter at one of the country's most renowned newspapers. Set in the 90s, the show is based on Adelstein's richly descriptive non-fiction book by the same name, which Mann's pilot episode follows quite faithfully.

We watch as Adelstein, played by a semi-cancelled Ansel Elgort, learns Japanese before sitting for the devilishly difficult examination that will decide whether or not he has what it takes to land a job at the newspaper. Against all odds—no 'gaijin' has ever worked there—Adelstein's exam goes well enough for him to be called in for an interview. And when that goes swimmingly as well—Adelstein gets a laugh out of his stone-faced interviewers—he is told that he is hired, and as a matter of protocol, been assigned the most boring beat imaginable. Adelstein's only job, he discovers after a handful of intimidating interactions with his editors, is to sit in on police press conferences and replicate, word-for-word, press releases about petty crimes and whatnot.
None of this—not the examination, the interview, the boring grunt-work—makes for compelling drama, especially in a visual medium such as television. But this is where Mann comes in. There is such an economy to his storytelling in the pilot episode—the script, by series creator JT Rogers, removes not only all unnecessary dialogue, but also avoids naming characters unless we absolutely need to know who they are. And then there are the Mann trademarks—the noticeable digital cinematography, inventive insert shots, the evocative close-ups.
But in many ways, the move to get the acclaimed filmmaker to set the tone for Tokyo Vice was always going to backfire. Seemingly aware of the fact that there is no aping Michael Mann—who is nearly 80, by the way—the show immediately settles for a more standard aesthetic for the rest of the seven episodes, and ultimately ends up sacrificing most of what made it so inviting in the first place.
The dark character study elements fall by the wayside as the show doubles down on the noir-infused crime drama aspects. It's the equivalent of a journalist ignoring the human interest angle in a story and highlighting the more scandalous bits. Under Mann's direction, the show was also quietly building towards a critique of corporate culture and a portrait of the immigrant experience, but alas, none of the other directors are able to examine these themes with much insight. As Adelstein, in a bid to live a more meaningful life, sniffs out a scandal to write about, he becomes acquainted with not just veteran detectives, but also members of the Yakuza. Very soon, it is clear that he is in too deep to escape unscathed.
There's a romantic subplot that is less convincing than the handful of genuine male friendships that Adelstein strikes with Detective Katagiri (Ken Watanabe), a low-level Yakuza enforcer named Sato (Show Kasamatsu) and his two co-workers Trendy and Tintin (Takaki Uda and Kosuke Tanaka). But it is Adelstein's strictly professional relationship with his editor Emi Maruyama (Rinko Kikuchi) that stands out amid the plot-driven shenanigans of Tokyo Vice.
It's the kind of show that offers you a glimpse of what it could have been, and then promptly swerves in a far less interesting direction. How clever would it have been if Tokyo Vice had somehow found a way of juxtaposing the ritualistic patterns and hierarchies of newsrooms and Yakuza 'families', and highlighting Adelstein's precarious position in them both. He is, ultimately, an outsider. But the show only briefly highlights the culture-clashes that he experiences. A great example of this is a quiet exchange between him and Emi, in which she interrupts him as he's listing the deceased victims of a conspiracy, and reminds him that they all have names.

Respect for elders, and indeed, family, is not something that comes naturally to the Missouri-born Jake Adelstein. On so many occasions, he affects an air of fake niceness to get his way, as he doggedly pursues Tokyo's biggest gangster. And Elgort is undeniably excellent in the lead role. I'm sure native Japanese speakers will find fault with his line readings, but to my untrained ear, it sounded like he'd put in a lot of hard work to learn a foreign language. The actor seemed at ease; confidence and an easygoing charm, you see, are key to Adelstein as a character. And if Elgort had appeared even slightly uncomfortable with the language and the foreign world, the show wouldn't have worked.
But it does, despite its flaws. It's lumbering, ambitious, and as culturally out of place as its protagonist. But it's still a layered neo-noir tale about greed, honour and duty. Plus, any show that has the courage to call the Backstreet Boys' I Want it That Way a masterpiece deserves some brownie points.

By April 1 of each year, all dog and cat owners must register their animal with the Village of Howard. Dog licenses require proof the animal is current on it's rabies shots.
The Village of Howard has created a Feral Cat Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) Program in conjunction with Cats Anonymous. The TNR program is a humane way to control the feral cat population. To date, the TNR program has spayed or neutered over 80 feral cats and returned them to their caretakers. Feral cats that have been spayed or neutered have a cropped ear like the cat pictured at left.
If you are caring for a feral cat and would like to participate in the TNR Program, please contact Animal Control. The veterinarians at Cats Anonymous are volunteer veterinarians. To assist in covering the cost of medicine and anesthetics, Cats Anonymous suggests a $50 donation for cats participating in the TNR program.

3 Links Between Student Achievement and Data Integration
By Troy Wheeler || May 25, 2016
You can't reach the finish line in one stride. But you can take steps that make the finish line easier to reach. Some strides, in other words, get you further than others.
In the world of education, bringing together a school's many different data sources — i.e., data integration — is one of those strides.
A recent and excellent article on EdSurge made me think of how powerful integration can be in helping educators reach their goals. Based on a survey of almost 5,000 educators, the contributing author, Karen Johnson, observes that educators really want to use data for three main purposes: to assess, analyze and pivot.
Johnson says that "technology" can help educators use data how they want to — but I think it isn't just technology in general. Integration, in particular, is how you use technology to turn data from something educators have into something they can use.
What educators want from their data is insight into "what's going on" — in a class, across a grade level, and with individual students. And those insights are hard to obtain when data sources aren't integrated and sharing data with one another.
Educators have to spend valuable time inputting data and bouncing between apps. And they'll always face the risk of missing something valuable.
Integrating data sources means getting them to speak the same language (via a data standard) and exchange information automatically. This saves educators time, labor and worry, and clears the way for them to get a full picture of "what's going on."
The insights you can gain from comparing and correlating data are immense. In Johnson's words, educators want to be able to do things like "match student performance with key standards" and "compare the trajectory of their students with those who have taken the same course in the past."
When data sources are integrated, educators can do that — and more. An underlying technology platform, like Ed-Fi's, connects all the dots behind the scenes, so that educators have a one-stop-shop for viewing and analyzing all the data they need.
Students are individuals, and to maximize their success, each student may need an individual intervention from time to time. Educators, therefore, need the ability to perceive individual needs and act on them when they arise.
How does integration help? By giving educators the ability to drill down to individual student stories. Also, it puts the most up-to-date student data at their fingertips — enabling personalized and real-time responses to the circumstances.
If you didn't click on Johnson's article when I linked to it above, do so now. It's a quick read with some very important ideas.
Everything you do to help educators access and utilize data gets us all closer to the outcomes we want for students. Integration is a critical stride a state or district can take toward its goals.

Is Venture Round Funding Still Fit For Purpose?
by Till | May 3, 2019 | Allgemein
Venture capitalist funding has been around for a very long time, so it's easy to see why so many people would ever seek out sources of funding anywhere else. Times have changed, however, and the beauty of the Blockchain has allowed for quick, easy and secure transactions to be carried out transparently, all at minimal cost. This is ideal for raising capital for ICOs, where time is of the essence and the competition is fierce. The venture round approach simply isn't cut out for the breakneck pace required. Even for those fortunate enough to count several semi-interested investors in their wider circle, simple decisions can take months to arrive at. And even then, the next round of negotiation might drag out even longer.
More ICO Advantages
As opposed to the drawn out process of the venture round model, an ICO keeps things simple and tangible. Tokens can be issued in regards to a specific deal. Interested parties can choose to accept or refuse. It's a straightforward trade-off that just works. It also represents a more relevant and quantifiable asset value. When it comes assets and private equity, it's not uncommon for the minds behind some of the biggest leaps forward to find it nigh on impossible to enjoy the wealth their innovation has accumulated. An old saying goes "He Who Dares, Wins", but don't be surprised to find the man who's taken the biggest gambit, laid out the largest sums and devoted the most time to be falling far behind his peers in the world of business. At least for the first decade or so.
Ever had a friend who's risked it all to found a company, only for them to succeed? Ever had the ear of a CEO you've worked under? How many of those waxed lyrical about their mountainous fortunes and frivolous spending? The answer's probably very few and nothing to do with humility. Instead, perhaps you've heard a tale of a business success story about a company that's been on the rise for years. Where company valuations mentioned? Seven-figure sums seem about right. It's hard to imagine anything but the sunshine and roses for those lucky few. But when you dig a little deeper into the lives of startup founders, you might find a brilliant brain responsible for something truly revolutionary is caught in a cash-strapped limbo. It's a shame, but plenty of bright young things and startup founders have suffered at the hands of venture round funding. Many remain on extremely modest salaries for far too long, even if a business has gone from startup to a global brand.
It's not hard to see why some startup founders are trying to think outside the box when it comes to claiming a little back from the business beasts they helped bring to fruition. In theory, a founder could look at turning a portion of company equity into a token value on the Blockchain. That liquidity hurdle is no longer something to worry about then. Once this has been carried out, a simple token offering to prospective investors is all that needs to occur in order to start seeing results. It's easy to see why such a tactic is so enticing.
The Trouble with Tokens
When it comes to initial coin offerings, tokens are a staple. They're not an entirely welcome thing however and much discussion has arisen regarding the true economic worth of them. This point is easily underlined if you consider a potential startup business that's decided to develop its own token. One founder might look to this token with a long-term plan in place. Another might be more interested in seeing said token gain value over time. These two are at instant odds with the other. There might also be additional parties who yearn for less consistently when it comes to cost. It's not hard to imagine all manner of conflict in the pipeline.
Equity Tokens as an Alternative
Equity tokens help overcome the potential issues outlined previously. Instead of them serving as a cryptocurrency, they denote ownership. It's simpler to imagine them as a form of shares option. In fact, they can be used to represent shareholder rights in some instances. It might sound like these tokens are causing new problems to replace the ones they dispersed, but the additional utility function of the equity token overcomes this.
Equity Token Offering and Utility Functions
In the case of an Equity Token Offering, the total or a portion of the share capital of a business is illustrated in token form on the Blockchain. There's also the option to add utility functions to equity tokens, so long as issuing occurs on the Blockchain. It's a thrilling idea, combining some of the best features from initial public offerings, initial coin offerings and conventional venture funding rounds. Even companies who aren't on the Blockchain can get involved. Certain companies can have equity tokenized, for example.
Turning Company Shares to Tokens
Many people are becoming interested in tokenizing company shares on the chain. To kick things off, all a company needs to do is reconfigure to a set of terms and conditions. Once this has been agreed upon, an investment agreement is automatically generated, with the document signed between a nominee and the company itself.
The nominee in this equation serves as the common ground between companies on the Blockchain and companies that aren't. The nominee generally ensures that shareholder rights are being correctly observed, although there's some deviation in process depending on where you are in the world. Expect more commonality between territories in the next few years as tokenization becomes a more conventional company endeavour. By the time smart contracts are generated, ownership rights of shareholders on and off the chain are assured. Also, bear in mind that the tiered structure of the process means contracts are signed numerous times, bolstering the rights of any shareholders still expressing reservation. It's a significant sign that the world of cryptographic currency is becoming more widely accepted, without high levels of mistrust getting in the way of progress.

Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2014 — 37-й розыгрыш ежегодного профессионального теннисного турнира среди женщин, проводящегося в Штутгарте (Германия) на кортах комплекса Porsche-Arena и являющегося частью тура WTA в рамках премьер-серии.

В 2014 году турнир прошёл с 21 по 27 апреля. Соревнование продолжало весеннюю серию грунтовых турниров, подготовительную к Roland Garros.

Прошлогодние победители:
 в одиночном разряде —  Мария Шарапова
 в парном разряде —  Мона Бартель и  Сабина Лисицки

Общая информация
Первым номером посева в женском одиночном турнире стала Агнешка Радваньская (№ 3 в мире на тот момент), впрочем польская спортсменка не долго задержалась в сетке соревнования, уступив уже в четвертьфинале — прошлогодней победительнице и будущей чемпионке Марии Шараповой. Россиянка в соревновании 2014 года была посеяна шестой и кроме Радваньской обыграла ещё двух сеянных соперниц, включая сербку Ану Иванович, переигранную в финале. Для Шараповой этот титул стал восьмым на грунте на соревнованиях ассоциации и третьим за три последних сезона на местных кортах, а Иванович добралась до титульного матча соревнования премьер-серии впервые с марта 2009 года. Сильнейшие несеянные участницы соревнования проиграли в четвертьфинале.

Парный приз свёлся к матчу первой и второй пары посева, где более рейтинговый альянс Сара Эррани / Роберта Винчи, переиграл пару Кара Блэк / Саня Мирза, по итогам двух сетов. Прошлогодние чемпионки — Сабина Лисицки и Мона Бартель — не защищали свой титул, но Мона принимала участие в соревнованиях (в паре с Евой Бирнеровой) и уступила уже на старте.

Q: openweather api to get multiple cities   get_weather_forecaset_by_cities <- function(city_names){
 df <- data.frame("weather_data_frame" )
 for (city_name in city_names){
forecast_url <- 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast'
forecast_query <- list(q = city_name, appid = "a297d3b46d0b5a7aab6dde3512962b99", units="metric")
for(result in results) {
  city <- c(city, city_name)

}
}
return(df)
}

Need help to understand the above given code, i am specifically stuck in the line 6 of the code, in the markdown it says "# Loop the json result" (Note: json_result is a list of lists).
But my actual task is this "Complete and call get_weather_forecaset_by_cities function with a list of cities, and write the data frame into a csv file called cities_weather_forecast.csv"
Which parts should i have to fill in and how?
cities <- c("Seoul", "Washington, D.C.", "Paris", "Suzhou")
cities_weather_df <- get_weather_forecaset_by_cities(cities)

After running the next line of codes it shows this error
"Error in get_weather_forecaset_by_cities(cities): object 'json_result' not found
Traceback:

*

*get_weather_forecaset_by_cities(cities)"

A: Since this is a homework question, it's not appropriate to provide a complete answer. However, a function that receives a list of city names and obtains their 5 day weather forecasts from openweathermap.org looks like this:
get_weather_forecast_by_cities <- function(city_names){
     library(dplyr)
     library(tidyr)
     library(jsonlite)
     df <- NULL # initialize a data frame
     for(c in city_names){
          aForecast <- paste0("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?",
                              "q=",c,
                              "&appid=<your API KEY here>",
                              "&units=metric")
          message(aForecast)
          aCity <- fromJSON(aForecast)
          # extract the date / time content and convert to POSIXct
          # extract the periodic weather content, note that
          # tidyr::unnest() is helpful here
          # add the city name
          # bind the results into the output data frame, df
     }
     df # return data frame
}

We replace the commented areas with code and run the function as follows:
   source("./examples/get_weather_forecast_by_cities.R")
   cityList <- c("Seoul","Paris","Chicago","Beijing","Suzhou")

A good CRM software (Customer Relationship Management) is essential for ecommerce.
We often find that cookie cutter CRMs don't have that many customizable features for the wide variety of ecommerce businesses out there. However, sometimes all your company needs is a user-friendly contact management dashboard and a way to log and send out interactions with your customers and clients.
In this HubSpot CRM review you'll learn that you can have all of that for free.
HubSpot CRM is one of those cookie cutter CRMs, so it's not going to work for some businesses. You can't go in there and add unique features, so you're pretty much stuck with what's provided. However, I like HubSpot CRM for small and large businesses that can do without all of the customizations.
If you are a small business owner, an entrepreneur on a budget, or a startup, you should definitely consider trying HubSpot CRM. It's a completely free solution, with unlimited number of users and up to 1.000.000 contacts (more than most of us could dream with). You only pay if you want the extra-features which only a small percentage of businesses actually need or want.
HubSpot CRM Review: How Can it Help Your Ecommerce Business?
I really enjoy the HubSpot CRM, since it's built to help out all sizes of businesses, especially startups that need a free, yet powerful way to interact and manage customer relationships.
With ecommerce, you end up working with thousands, if not millions, of customers and business partners. That's why a CRM is so important when it comes to organizing, tracking, and nurturing those leads and business relationships.
HubSpot CRM pairs well with standard email providers like Gmail and Outlook, so you can get your sales team set up within minutes. You're then able to manage your sales pipeline, which is bound to speed up the process in which you use to bring in those leads. The CRM removes the need for spreadsheets or other cluttered organizational tools.
The best part is that the HubSpot CRM supports up to 1 million contacts and unlimited users. Therefore, ecommerce sales teams of 1,000 should have no problem working with the HubSpot CRM. The same goes for organizations with one salesperson.
The HubSpot CRM has standard features that you would expect from competitors who require you to pay for their software. What's great, however, is that several free versions of the Sales and Marketing Hub tools are also packaged in with the HubSpot CRM. Therefore, you're actually getting more than what you would expect from other alternatives, and you don't have to pay a dime. Yes, HubSpot is definitely trying to get you to pay for the other products, but that's not a bad thing since you're not being pressured, and you will probably consider those products at some point.
A large part of having a CRM is for creating a sales funnel. This means you're looking for a clean, efficient dashboard that's going to connect all of your salespeople and make it easier to see where every potential client is in that funnel.
HubSpot CRM has a wonderful dashboard design, with sorting for all of the deals you've won or lost, along with contracts you've sent out during the process. The interface includes options for tracking performance and seeing which of your salespeople are doing the best. I also like the idea of having appointment scheduling inside of the CRM, since that's often what you end up doing with business partners in the ecommerce world.
Some of this won't apply to customer-facing ecommerce companies, but a CRM like this is still essential for managing all of those users. In the dashboard, you can sort the deals by name, amount, owner, and the stage of the funnel the customer is in.
The dashboard also provides some great filters for quickly finding information about a customer.
When you don't have a CRM, customer interactions often get lost or archived deep into your email folders. HubSpot CRM has a different approach, seeing as how it automatically records all of your customer interactions, whether they be phone calls, emails, or meetings. You'll also find that the CRM logs every social media interaction, which is an excellent way to minimize the amount of time spent on those actual social networks.
As we're going to mention a few times in this article, HubSpot CRM syncs up with your Gmail, G Suite, and Outlook accounts. So, if one salesperson talks with a customer, the next salesperson can go in and see what was discussed.
Every time you get a lead, HubSpot CRM logs it for you in one location. This combines with the automated interaction recording, but with this module, you're able to see an individual lead and all of those communications.
For instance, it's obviously great to remember names and job titles. Those are all saved here. But, you also get the chance to see a whole list of other communications, such as emails, phone calls, meetings, and notes.
I like this for several reasons. The first is that one salesperson can log information about a potential client and other people in your organization can see it. So, if there's a problem client and there's no reason to speak with them anymore, the rest of your sales team isn't wasting time trying to call that person.
This interface also ensures that your sales team isn't sifting through email threads to figure out where the conversation left off. It's all nicely organized into one list, so they can jump right in and contact the lead without any questions.
Finally, HubSpot CRM syncs with the HubSpot Marketing program. Therefore, you can see all of the content that's been sent to the lead. After that, you have the opportunity to personalize your next message and not look silly trying to start the conversation over again.
Yes, the HubSpot CRM is completely free, forever. That means you don't spend a dime every month, regardless of which country you run your business in. However, it's important to understand the features that come with the free plan, since HubSpot does try to upsell you for its other products, and some of these products have features you might assume come with the CRM.
Support for up to 1,000,000 contacts.
Integrations with email providers like Gmail, G Suite, and Outlook.
Integrations with other HubSpot products like the Marketing, Sales, and Service hubs.
Custom support from the HubSpot community forum. Keep in mind that there's no direct support (like phone, chat, or email support,) for the free CRM.
Unlimited users, or people who plan on using the CRM in your organization.
Powerful contact management and company insights.
Records for all companies you do business with.
An analytics dashboard for your leads.
The ability to record contact activity.
Email scheduling, templates, and tracking notifications.
Meetings, calling, documents, and canned snippets.
As HubSpot explains on its website, the CRM is more than an integration with its other products. It's actually the underlying database that powers items like the Marketing, Sales, and Service hubs.
Free Marketing Hub – $0 per month.
Starter Marketing Hub – $50 per month.
Basic Marketing Hub – $200 per month.
Professional Marketing Hub – $800 per month.
Enterprise Marketing Hub – $2,400 per month.
Free Sales Hub – $0 per month.
Starter Sales Hub – $50 per month.
Professional Sales Hub – $400 per month.
Professional Service Hub – $400 per month.
Overall, the pricing is pretty straightforward when you get started. However, you might find that you would like something like landing pages or marketing automation from the Marketing Hub, or live chat from the Sales Hub. In that case, the pricing gets more complicated, but HubSpot still has some affordable options with the Starter and Basic plans.
Should You Consider HubSpot CRM for Your Organization?
HubSpot CRM is a great place to start for logging contact information, customer interactions, and leads. It's also an excellent tool if you're in need of a basic sales funnel for a startup or small business. I even see this working for larger ecommerce stores without any highly customized CRM needs.
But that's usually where companies run into problems with these cookie cutter CRMs. Sometimes you need some small feature customizations to make a CRM work for your business.
That said, I would recommend trying out the HubSpot CRM to see if it works well for your business. It's completely free for the base product, so you don't have anything to lose. However, you might eventually find that you need something customized. In that case, simply move onto a new CRM or consider some of the other HubSpot products to see if those fit your needs.

Governments around the world block access to online content for a variety of reasons: to shield children from obscene content, to prevent access to copyright-infringing material or confusingly named domains, or to protect national security. From democratic nations such as India, the United Kingdom, and South Korea to states with authoritarian governments, states are implementing extensive filtering regimes with varying degrees of transparency and consistency.
EFF believes that the blocking and filtering by nation states of the global Internet is a violation of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which grants everyone the right "to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Since our founding in 1990, we have fought to preserve the capacity of the Internet to allow everyone to speak without hindrance, and for everyone to freely choose who they communicate with, no matter who—or where—they may be.
How Countries Block Content
There are various methods used to block content online. Government actors can block or tamper with domain names, filter and block specific keywords, block a particular IP address, or urge online content providers to remove content or search results. Often, governments rely upon commercial software to do the job for them. Products readily available on the market for use in homes, schools, and libraries have been used in several countries. Though the export and sale of these tools is generally legal, it often raises questions of human rights and corporate social responsibility. Some countries, such as China, use a combination of the aforementioned techniques, by pervasively blocking keywords, foreign websites, and urging companies such as Google to remove certain content. Others, such as Morocco and Egypt, take a minimalist approach to content blocking, by filtering a certain selection of URLs. The level of transparency in content blocking also differs from country to country. Some offer block pages that explain to users that a site is blocked (as well as, sometimes, why it is blocked) and/or means of challenging a specific site block, while others re-direct the user to an error page; before the fall of the Ben Ali regime, for example, Tunisia famously redirected users to an HTTP 404 error page.
Why Countries Block Content
Countries block online content for a variety of reasons, often based on national cultural norms or political considerations. India for example, uses the pretext of public safety to enact laws allowing certain websites to be blocked, while other countries, such as Qatar, primarily block websites for containing pornography or other content that they claim offends the sensibilities of their citizens. Russia blocks child pornography, as well as online content containing materials advocating drug abuse, suicide, or "extremism." Still others block websites or domains under the pretense of preventing copyright or trademark infringement. An increasing number of governments also block websites belonging to their political opposition, human rights organizations, and independent media.
What EFF is Doing
Whenever possible, EFF engages with policymakers to ensure that the Internet remains an open platform for free expression. We also support the efforts of organizations like Tor to empower Internet users residing in censored countries to protect their identities, circumvent firewalls, and access blocked content. Content blocking occurs in both autocratic and democratic countries. EFF seeks to amplify the voices of local grassroots organizations opposing censorship all over the world, and educate our members about those groups' concerns. We frequently join international campaigns against censorship, and provide updates on content blocking and other censorship incidents on the Deeplinks blog.

Kamenný most (nazýván také Kameňák nebo most na Pláckách) je secesní železobetonový silniční most v Hradci Králové spojující místní části Věkoše a Plácky.

Historie
Na místě dnešního mostu stál od konce 18. století dřevěný mostek. Ten již nevyhovoval dobovým parametrům a byl zbourán během regulačních prací na Labi roku 1907. Přes tento mostek vedla ústupová cesta rakouské Severní armády.

Projektace nového mostu byla zadána Františku Sanderovi v roce 1910. Práce vykonávala firma Františka Jiráska z Hradce Králové. Most byl zkolaudován 28. dubna 1912. Na konci druhé světové války byl podminován Německými vojsky. Také proto bylo postaven dřevěný most kus nad tímto mostem. Miny byly odstraněny a ke zničení mostu nedošlo (údajně však jedna z min spadla do Labe a nikdy nebyla vylovena).

3. května 1958 byl most zapsán do seznamu kulturních památek. Během kontroly mostu v roce 1969 byl stav mostu popsán jako špatný. Na mostu se objevovaly trhliny a zmizelo i ozdobné kování. Byl omezen provoz na mostě. V letech 1997 až 1998 byla provedena oprava mostu, která stála 7 milionů korun.

Popis
Most je postaven z železobetonu. Má jeden nízký segmentový oblouk. Zábradlí je plné, z umělého kamene. Na vjezdech se opticky rozevírá širokými konvexními křivkami s nevysokými vstupními pylony na soklech, složených z prstencových článků. Zábradlí zdobí ozdobné koule z umělého kamene.

Most je široký pouze 5 metrů a provoz je tedy pouze jednosměrný. Povrch mostu byl postaven ze žulové dlažby a kamenných obrubníků. Na mostě byly vytvořeny dva malé chodníky a jednoproudá vozovka.

Primary pupils get hands on with construction jobs in 2030
•	Dudley College hosts Construction Primary Careers Event focused on future technology.
•	Attended by over 50 primary school pupils the one-day event is part of the Careers 2030 project funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company and led by the Black Country LEP.
•	Pupils get hands on with drone surveying, VR Imagineering, ground penetrating radar and floating house.
On Friday 18 October Dudley College hosted a one-day Construction Primary Careers event focused on future technology in the construction industry. Attended by over 50 primary school pupils and led by Dudley College and the University of Wolverhampton the event is part of the Careers 2030 project led by the Black Country LEP and funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company.
Throughout the day pupils from Ryders Hayes Primary School in Pelsall were able to 'have a go' using the latest technology equipment including drone surveying, VR Imagineering of Building Designs, ground penetrating radar and floating houses. The aim of the day was to introduce pupils to the construction industry and explore the skills they might need to develop for careers in this sector in 2030 as well as to encourage Primary pupils to explore a range of jobs and sectors they otherwise might not consider.
The Careers 2030 project, funded by The Careers & Enterprise Company, aims to build on the already successful Secondary School programmes delivered by the Black Country Skills Factory, the Black Country Careers Hub and the Enterprise Adviser Network. The Careers 2030 project will deliver 10 events covering 8 sectors across the academic year, this is the second event to-date with the first focusing on public sector employment.
Colin Parker, Skills Director at Black Country Consortium Ltd, said:
"It is becoming increasingly important to ensure that, from a young age, pupils are given greater access to meaningful encounters with employers and experiences of the workplace, to help inspire, motivate and enthuse them. The Black Country LEP are delighted to be working with our partners, Ryders Hayes School, Wolverhampton University and Dudley College to deliver this construction focused event offering young people a real insight into what careers in this sector could look like in 2030."
Nicki Harris, Careers 2030 Project Officer said:
"It is vital to allow children to make informed decisions and to broaden their horizons by exposing them to a range of hands on activities across a range of sectors. We are working closely with our partners to ensure the children experience the very latest technology, of which will be the norm in 2030.
"Our partners include colleges, universities, local employers and employees from all sectors. We are also aiming to deliver each event in a unique way, one that is successful and sustainable for other schools and children to benefit from in years to come."
Nicki continued:
"It is a wonderful thing being able to watch how enthusiastic the children are and what they take from each event is truly remarkable. Raising aspirations and challenging stereo types is critical and impact this project will have on children from years 3 to 6 is amazing."
Sally Miner, Head Teacher Ryders Hayes School said:
"The impact that a day like this can have on primary pupils should not be under-estimated. To have a hands-on experience; to talk to people leading in the sector and to be able to literally see what working in this industry will look like in 10 years-time is a great motivator, as part of a comprehensive careers curriculum, which begins for our children at age 5, and is designed to inspire them to develop the skills they need for the world of work. None of this would have been possible without the expertise and support of the Black Country Skills Factory."

Anger As M7 Finally Agrees To Split Kasese District
By Serestino Tusingwire
President Museveni has finally agreed to the proposal of splitting Kasese district in Western Uganda despite the controversies that has been surrounding it.
The proposal was presented to the President by NRM Councillors and opinion leaders during a meeting yesterday at State House, Entebbe.
This follows a motion presented to Parliament by the Cabinet in 2012 about the issue of splitting Kasese and later in 2014 when a report by the Committee of Parliament was presented with recommendations, that Cabinet should create more districts after the population census of 2014, starting with the large districts of Kasese, Kibaale, Wakiso, Arua and Kabale, which was approved by Parliament.
The President told the delegation from Kasese that as long as the NRM people are united and harmonized on the cause, it would be easy for him to push the matter to the Parliamentary Caucus.
"Once my people are together, I don't have a problem," he said.
Museveni further informed the NRM Party leaders that he agreed with the split of Kasese district because the district, with over a million people, cannot provide everyone with service delivery adding that decentralization removes friction based on sectarianism.
According to the proposal, the split of Kasese would address the issue of ethnic minorities, improve on service delivery and security and also improve on the supervision and monitoring of the Operation Wealth Creation project.

Social Media Marketing | Wir sprechen Online.
Involvement plays as a key factor in social media marketing. getting the best result simply takes an effort of monitoring and constant development for your site. The basic job of social media engagements was practically the initial step to do that comprise a more connective process.


That's funny, because Digg ALWAYS logs me out. It drives me nuts. I can't figure out what I'm doing differently with it, either, because I stay logged in to everything else. It makes me very unlikely to digg as a result.
I have the same problem with Digg. Sometimes Digg will log me out in between leaving comments. I'll leave one comment, then try to leave another and find I'm logged out. I also find that Digg doesn't work with Firefox for me, so I have to use IE (IE Tab in Firefox does work) or another browser.
I also hate the captchas. I have a lot of trouble with them. Does it want the letter capitalized, or not? They never seem consistent.
It's quite interesting that you guys have problems staying logged in at Digg. I thought it just had the technology figured out well. But apparently they're all flaky with different people.
Eric – I hear you on the captchas. I can't stand them!! The capitalization bit is the worst part.
I'm with you Andrew. Digg and del.icio.us keep me there but Propeller and others require me to log in almost every time.
But I think this is just a small thing in everything that makes Digg the huge success it is.
I think It may be the browser that each individual uses. Firefox logs me out, but explorer keeps me logged in. Weird, that!
Ditto, Andrew. I joined Digg a long time ago but only became a regular user recently. It would log me out (I use IE7) a few times, but eventually I'd get back in. This morning, every time I went to Digg, I found it had logged me out. I signed back on over seven times to no avail.
I've got it the other way round. With IE I can't do anything 'cause I'm logged out at the very first second after I logged in. I had to switch to Firefox just to add a couple of lines comment.
Actually I have found Digg logs me out all the time, even when I have selected the remember me option. I am using Opera and its got the wand enabled to re-logging in with Opera is very easy since it will remember the username and password for all the sites and will enter them at the click of a button. Digg is good, but the submission process is a bit tedious with all its checks.
It's fascinating to see how many people have different experiences. I really thought it was a solid feature, but others are obviously reporting problems with it. Odd.

Ok so I got my vamo v5. And I like it a lot so far, but I would also like something else. I wish to get away from ego/spinners etc.
I like the vamo but am looking for something that is a little smaller in 18350 mod for out and about. I know the vamo in 18350 isn't that big but if there is something else out there I'd be interested in?
At this stage I can't decide on mech of vw. As I like to vape 1.8ohm at 10watts.
Let me know if you have anything that I may be interested in. As long as it not to expensive.
My ps. I have been looking at a few things...innokin mvp, nemesis,sigelei zmax.
A mech @ 4.2 volts with a 1.8 ohm coil would be close to 10 watts (9.8) It wont stay at this voltage for long though. A mech will usually sit at 3.6 volts once you discharge it a bit this would leave you at 7.2 watts with a 1.8 ohm coil.
Most VV/VW mods are quite large due to the control head (the part that has all the electronics in it), a mech will be tiny in comparison.
The MVP2 is pretty darn small (a lot smaller than it looks in photos).
I'm pretty sure you have some B&M stores up on the gold coast, might be worth heading into one to compare sizes.
Thanks for the thread Altered1. Also Vipes I do realize the size difference with mechs and vw devices, I have also thought of using a kick in a mech. To be honest the vamo in 18350 mode is the same size as my 1300mah spinner I use out and about. Would just like something a little more pocket friendly if possible.
If you really want a very compact VV/W, it's hard to go past a Provari Mini. Budget aside, it fits perfectly in my palm and great for those stealth vapes (drip tip only shows when I grip it).
I had a Vamo, and switched to the MVP due to it being far more pocket-friendly. Much more convenient shape for the pocket, the Vamo tended to slide out easily. MVP is VV/VW like the Vamo, and the amount of time the charge lasts is quite awesome, I must say, way longer than my Vamo in 18650 mode. Only drawback is the batteries are built in, you can't replace them (well not without a lot of stuffing around anyway). Only had mine a few months but I've heard they last quite a long time before they need to be chucked.
gtadmin and KitKat like this.
I was thinking about a sigelei amax v5 telescopic.


Literally and playfully Post-modern, this typeface is a deconstruction of the 19th century Modern (Didone) style, questioning the conventions of stress—inherited from earlier, calligraphically-informed types—that governed the acceptability of which stems are thick, which thin. With the Didone vocabulary artfully rephrased, a novel typographic color of corroded notan emerges. View PDF.

For Black Minnesota leaders and activists, Nichols' death in Memphis recalls the trauma of 2020
FDA experts are still puzzled over who should get which COVID-19 shots and when
PGA Tour officials and the tournament sponsor would have to sign off on the site, too.
Based on this week's performance it may not be hard to get those approvals.
Pellegrino said he was impressed by the corporate support for the tourney and local fans ignored the heavy rain, soggy grass and stinky mud. They have shown up in droves. Saturday's crowd was estimated to be about 35,000, and Pellegrino expects the four-day total to jump to about 75,000 when Sunday's final round is finished.
Players have enjoyed playing on the course's soft greens and the roar of the large crowds that have made the tournament feel like a major, too.
"I've heard a lot of players talking about the crowds that have come out and they say it's a neat town. It is," Indiana native Bo Van Pelt said after finishing the day at 12 under, four shots behind the two leaders. "Hopefully, we'll get it back on the schedule."
How soon can it happen?
Next year's BMW Championship is already scheduled to be played at Conway Farms in Lake Forest, Ill., near the tourney's traditional Chicago home. In 2014, the tourney will be played at Cherry Hills in Colorado. The sponsorship deal expires after the 2014 season, and until that is finalized, organizers are unlikely to start picking future sites.
"The corporate support has been great in Chicago, great for a long time, but we've had a lot more people show up here than we've had in recent years in Chicago," Pellegrino said. "The locals into golf here said this would be big, but till you see it in person, you're not really sure."
The only real issue has been weather.
Heavy rain Wednesday prompted tour officials to allow players to clean their golf balls in the fairway, and after nearly three inches of rain was recorded Friday night when severe weather moved through the area, players were given the same benefit Saturday.
Fans spent much of the day walking through swampy grounds.
"There's nothing you can do about weather," Pellegrino said. "Just make the appropriate adjustments and we've done that."
STILL STINGING: The last time the PGA Tour came to Crooked Stick was the 1991 PGA Championship when John Daly was the surprise winner.
Phil Mickelson almost had a chance, too.
Winning the 1991 Tucson Open would have given him an opportunity to play — except that amateurs were barred.
Instead, Mickelson wound up playing in the U.S. Amateur that summer and never got a shot to play for the PGA title, an omission that still stings.
"I wasn't allowed to play because I went to graduate college and stay an amateur," he recalled. "I would have loved to have competed. I felt I deserved to after I had already qualified, and I look back on that 20 years later, and I'm still upset."
Since the 1991 PGA, Crooked Stick also has hosted the 2005 Solheim Cup, the 2007 U.S. Women's Amateur and the 2009 U.S. Senior Open.
BAGGIN' IT: Dustin Johnson has hit into some unusual spots on golf courses over the years.
Saturday's tee shot on No. 8 might have been a first.
As he walked up the fairway, he already knew the ball had landed in a woman's purse. So when he reached the landing spot, reached into the purse, pulled the ball out and took his free drop. It didn't faze him a bit.
"I've hit into people's chairs and a trash can, so year, I mean some interesting things happen out here," Johnson said. "When you've got so many people out watching, things like that happen."
Johnson made par on the final two holes of the front nine and started the back nine with two more birdies en route to a 5-under 67. He's tied for fifth, two shots behind co-leaders Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh.
THE CHASE: Two big story lines will be running side-by-side when Sunday's final round begins: Who will claim the BMW title and who will qualify for the playoff finale at Atlanta in two weeks.
Nine players will start the day within four shots of the lead, creating a veritable final round shootout on a course where at least one golfer has shot 64 each day this week.
Just as tense will be the race to earn of the coveted 30 qualifying spots to play for the $10 million prize.
Kyle Stanley, the 24-year-old from Washington state, started the tournament in the 30th spot and is still there.
And less than 150 points separate the players from No. 27 (Rickie Fowler) to No. 34 (Scott Piercy). If the race ended Saturday, Bill Haas (28th) would become the first FedEx Cup champ to have a chance to defend his title at Atlanta, and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell (33rd) would be out.
"I'm no scoreboard watcher," he said. "I know I've got to play as well as I possibly can and score as well as I possibly can," McDowell said. "I'm not going to be watching the scoreboard. I certainly won't be looking at my projected FedEx. I'll be more concerned how I stand in this golf tournament."
BIRDIE, BIRDIE: Illinois native D.A. Points struggled during the first two days of the tournament and got off to another rough start when he bogeyed his first hole, No. 10.
Then, suddenly, everything went right for Points.
He made six straight birdies on the back side before posting another bogey on No. 18. When he made the turn to the front side, Points birdied the first two holes and No. 9, but that was offset by bogeys on Nos. 4, 6 and 7.
He finished the day with a 68 and was 3 under through three rounds.
DIVOTS: Players will begin teeing off at 8:05 a.m. Sunday. ... Four of the top 10 on the leaderboard have held the world's No. 1 ranking — Rory McIlroy, Vijay Singh, Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods. ... Indiana native Bo Van Pelt finished the day with a 71 and was 12-under for the tournament. The only other Indiana native in the tourney, Jeff Overton, shot 67 and was 3 under. ... Only seven players are over par for the tournament, including Hunter Mahan, who had a 41 on the front side and a 39 on the back side to finish with 80. He was 7 over for the tournament.

The National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) is an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Health. It is a collaboration of people and organisations with an expertise and/or interest in eating disorders. Its primary purpose is to develop and promote a nationally consistent, evidence-based approach to the prevention, early intervention and management of eating disorders in Australia.
To achieve its objectives, the NEDC works to promote, provide and facilitate access to evidence-based information, be it for young people and their families, or for health professionals and other professionals involved in the treatment, management and prevention of eating disorders. The NEDC also engages and builds intersectoral and interdisciplinary coordination and evidence sharing on eating disorders and fosters professional learning.
It also works to develop and assist in implementing a comprehensive national strategy to communicate appropriate evidence-based messages to schools, the media and health service providers.
Note: The NEDC has no professional or qualification based criteria for membership; however the NEDC is federally funded to serve all of Australia. As such we do require members to live in Australia or be Australian citizens.


During winter, when sunshine is slight and the nights close in early, there seems to be a natural gravitation towards wearing darker colours. Winter colours, such as black, navy and maroon, are lovely colours that add depth and richness to winter clothes. However, there are days when I wake up and really relish the idea of wearing softer winter colours such as cream, grey and fawn. These colours are lovely in the pale winter sunshine and manage to look cosy and chic at the same time. Recently, we have had a few gloriously warm days in London for this time of year and I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing these colours as part of my winter wardrobe.
I am a denim fan, and like many of us, cannot imagine what I would wear if my jeans suddenly disappeared! I have been getting more adventurous in my jean choices of late and I love the fraying on this pair. I think high heels are just the lift these jeans need to look their best and I have paired the outfit with my open grey coat (also used in this blog post – https://ishasverdict.com/2016/05/30/supermarket-fashion-strolling-in-wide-legged-trousers/ ) to add balance to the high heels. If high heels are not your cup of tea, or your feet tire after a while like me, I think the outfit looks equally good with these warm shearling booties (previously featured in this blog post – https://ishasverdict.com/2016/04/22/fabulous-cold-busters-cashmere-and-shearling/ ).
Recently, I have been on the hunt for an oversized coat in a vivid colour. I would consider, pink, red, green or orange as long as it is oversized, lined and in a fabric I like. I have checked online and in various stores but I have had no luck in finding the coat that I have envisioned in my head. The few that I have found are either out of my price range or not available in my size anymore. Yesterday I went to Oxford Street as I had an important errand to run in the area (OK I really did – one that involved no shopping at all unfortunately). As I walked to my destination, I must have seen at least three women wearing my coat – well their coats but exactly the kind of coats that I am looking for! Am I the only one this happens to or does this happen to you as well?
Hopefully, I will find this dream coat soon. Thank you for reading and have a fabulous weekend!
Thanks – I am so glad you liked it!


As a self-taught amateur photographer, I am particularly aware of the tension between the documentary and the artistic. With an eye for the quirky detail, I try to marry both harmoniously.
