Toy Story 4 is coming in 2017. Plans Revealed!
Nearly two decades after Pixar Animation Studios created the world's first computer-animated feature film with "Toy Story," it revealed plans for Disney•Pixar's "Toy Story 4," an adventure that returns audiences to the world of the studio's signature characters.
Director John Lasseter works with members of his story team on Disney•Pixar's "Toy Story 4," a new chapter in the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the "Toy Story" gang.
John Lasseter, director of the original "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," will direct the film, which opens a new chapter in the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the "Toy Story" gang. The story was dreamt up by Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter and Lee Unkrich, the storytellers who have been the driving force behind all three "Toy Story" films.
"We love these characters so much; they are like family to us," said Lasseter. "We don't want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what's gone before. 'Toy Story 3' ended Woody and Buzz's story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another 'Toy Story' movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself."
Writing team Rashida Jones and Will McCormack ("Celeste and Jesse Forever") joined the project, and Pixar veteran Galyn Susman (ABC's "Toy Story OF TERROR!" and "Toy Story that Time Forgot") is producing.
The film is slated for release on June 16, 2017.

Mental health has come to the forefront of conversations recently, as it arguably should. Following World Mental Health Day, the first Ministerial Mental Health Summit took place in London and the conservatives appointed a Minister for Suicide Prevention. Overall, a lot has happened recently to change the perceptions surrounding mental health.
On Sunday at the Women of the World Festival, I attended the panel-led discussion One in Five: Women's Mental Health. Chaired by Fiona Carden, director of the Exeter Colab, a wellbeing and innovation hub, the panel aimed to discuss the challenges facing women's mental health.
When I told my husband that I was attending this particular talk, he questioned "Is women's mental health different to men's?" If we talked purely statistics, you could argue yes, it is. Women are more likely than men to have a common mental health problem, with one in five women (hence the name of the talk) suffering with a Common Mental Disorder (CMD) as opposed to one in eight men. Suicide rates however show that a higher proportion of men take their own lives; it is the biggest cause of death in men aged between 15 and 45. (Mental Health.org) If there is such a drastic difference in statistical data between men and women, logic implies there must be a cause.
From left to right: Megan Beech, Jayne Hardy and Georgia Dodsworth form the panel of speakers under chair person Fiona Carden.
Joining Fiona on the panel to discuss the issue of women's mental health were three women, each of whom had their own expertise in the world of mental health.
Megan Beech is a poet and began by mockingly saying "naturally, because I'm a poet, I have depression". Megan, like Georgia, also has BPD and has gained her understanding of mental health through "lived experience".
Chair person Fiona Carden leads the discussion on women's mental health.
Georgia talks about how difficult she found it to be honest with her friends about her mental health.
"There was a time when I didn't tell anyone about my mental health and I would just be like, 'oh I have a tummy ache' […] and make up excuses. Then I started to be real with them and say 'I'm just not feeling good today; I can't stop crying'.
Jayne too admitted lying and fabricating other physical illnesses rather than talking openly about her mental health. It was social media, in the end, that gave Jayne the support she needed. After seeing how honest people were online about their mental health, she decided to open up and 'be real' about hers, gaining a social support network online.
Megan felt she had no one to talk to when she was first diagnosed at eighteen, having moved to London for University. She feels, like Jayne, that things are changing now with regards to mental health.
Jayne speaks candidly about her fears for her daughter.
Georgia, who dropped out of school at fourteen said that "school just didn't understand" and although she didn't want to drop out, her school didn't know "how to cope" with her. She was subsequently labelled as a "school refuser" and had to be home-schooled.
In her experience, the pastoral care team at her school weren't equipped in dealing with her mental health and she feels more training and funding should be given to schools. As an ex-teacher, I have to say she's preaching to the converted there.
For me, mental health in schools is quite a sensitive issue. Having spent four years teaching a curriculum that I often didn't agree with, I couldn't be more on board with Georgia's suggestion that we need some kind of mental health lessons or that it needs to be as great a focus in PSHE as bullying. Having suffered with depression and anxiety due to the pressures involved in teaching, I feel that there is a greater issue surrounding mental health in schools: how can we educate children to be mentally healthy when over half of their teachers are not?
Jayne faltered here and confessed she didn't really know what the answer was and Fiona acknowledged that my question was a big one and that "we need[ed] an afternoon on that".
Megan discusses the importance of therapy in keeping her mentally healthy.
Jayne spoke about the importance of her family in supporting her through her difficult times, as well as her good times. She has found being able to talk about her mental health as part of her work "therapeutic" and highlighted the importance of services she has used such as Samaritans and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy through the NHS.
Megan agreed about the importance of therapy, however she found that the therapy provided by the NHS (group therapy once a week with no other attendees and talk therapy once a fortnight) did not work for her. She now has private psychotherapy twice a week.
The panel discuss the idea of 'crisis' following an audience member's question.
One of the points raised by an audience member revolved around this idea of 'crisis'. The term had been used or referred to a lot so far in the discussion. The audience member, who works for public health, said that this is "one of the things I feel is fundamentally wrong with our system". She argued that we should not have to reach a crisis point before we get help. She continued "we need a call of action" to "demand better primary care around mental health". She highlighted some successful programs already in place in schools, such as Early Help 4 Mental Health (EH4MH) but said that services such as these are being cut, leaving schools worse equipped than they were before in terms of dealing with mental illness.
The panel could not agree more. They described their own experiences and those of friends where they were not ill enough to receive the help they needed. Megan recalled a quote from a friend who suffered with anorexia: "Do I have to be dead for them to help me?" Having worked in education, I know first-hand that you are required to 'prove' that a child meets the criteria for help; whether this is due to a learning disability or an application for support through CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services). Georgia echoed this as she herself had been through the process of 'proving' to CAMHS that she was mentally ill enough to warrant their help.
Crisis could be used as an adjective for many systems in our country at present; education, health care, and in particular mental health care, even Brexit. From my own experience, I didn't seek help with the way I was feeling until I was in crisis as a huge part of me felt that I would not be believed or that my suffering was not at a point where I would receive help.
Coming back to the point my husband made at the beginning of this article, I reconsidered the idea of men and women's mental health as being separate. The seminar had highlighted the suffering still felt by the women in the room in terms of mental illness, but it also brought messages of hope and change through examples of lived experience and the campaigns that these fantastic women are a part of. Is this different to men's suffering? I don't think so. Having conversations of gender in isolation will only divide society further.
Leaving the discussion, I did not come away with answers to my question, though in all honesty I hadn't expected this. For me, the discussion very much surrounded the concept of 'It's ok to not be ok' and that it's ok to talk about not being ok. There are no quick fixes for our systems in crisis; men's mental health is equally as critical as women's. But I, and many others in the room, opened up about my mental health in a safe and accepting atmosphere and I, like many others, felt validated in knowing that I'm not the only one who finds things hard sometimes. That must be worth something.

The United States asked France to join it for a possible emergency oil stock release, the French Energy Minister said on Wednesday.
Asked by reporters after the weekly ministers' meeting whether France would join a U.S.-UK move to release strategic stocks, Eric Besson said: "It is the United States which has asked and France has welcomed favorably this hypothesis."
Le Monde daily said on Wednesday, citing presidential sources, that France was in contact with Britain and the United States on a possible release of strategic oil stocks "in a matter of weeks" to push fuel prices down.


This week, Phispers brings you news on Mylan bagging an FDA nod for its generic version of GSK's blockbuster asthma treatment Advair Diskus.
The agency also approved Evolus' wrinkle treatment, which is expected to pose tough competition to Allergan's Botox.
USFDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb justified the agency's inspection focus and strategy in response to Bloomberg's feature articles on the risks facing America's generic industry.
EMA asked manufacturers of sartans to review their manufacturing process. India's Alembic Pharmaceuticals got accused of price gouging during the sartan recalls.
Meanwhile, Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan dodged questions on whether Sandoz is being prepped for a sale or a spinoff post its revamp over the next 18 months, thereby putting a question mark over its future. And the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) announced its generic access plan, as part of its collaboration with the FDA.
Swiss drug major Novartis AG has put a question mark on its generic unit Sandoz, post a revamp which is due to take 18 months. Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan said he will be ready to discuss the future of generics unit Sandoz, post the revamp. However, he still called the business "an integral part" of Novartis.
"We consider Sandoz an integral part of Novartis, we're focused on transforming the business, making it an autonomous entity over the next 18 months that is able to compete as an independent unit within Novartis," Narasimhan said on a call with analysts last week.
"After we complete all that, then I think we can have further conversations about where we want to head from there." In November, Novartis had said it was "completely committed" to the US$ 10 billion-per-year generics business.
According to Narasimhan, 2018 was a transformative year in manufacturing for Novartis, as it closed or sold eight facilities and restructured eight others to be more efficient. Overall it cut nearly 2,000 jobs.
During its fourth-quarter earnings call, Narasimhan dodged questions about whether Sandoz is being prepped for a sale or spinoff. He said the plan is to position it to grow sustainably in the medium to long term, which includes making its manufacturing more cost effective.
That will be accomplished, Narasimhan said, by following the current path of focusing on biosimilars and complex, hard-to-manufacture generics and shedding low-margin stock keeping units, which may lead to more manufacturing consolidation. Finally, he said Sandoz will be exiting more geographic areas with product and plant sales like it did with Aurobindo last year (wherein the Indian drug company agreed to pay US$ 1 billion for 300 low-margin generics sold in the US and also took on several manufacturing plants in the country).
Last week, Bloomberg carried a series of news features on the risks facing America's generic drug industry. One report was on how America's love affair with cheap drugs has a hidden cost; and that data, documents and interviews show how a focus on cutting prices has come with risks to consumer health.
The second feature is on the sartan impurities issue. It talks about how a heart drug made in China by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical, and taken by millions of people, was contaminated with a possible cancer-causing chemical.
The third feature was on India's culture of bending rules, and how it is challenging the FDA. The fourth feature was on the US$ 4.3 billion Fresenius SE-Akorn Inc deal that fell through over shoddy drug production. After Fresenius offered to buy Akorn, it uncovered a litany of problems.
"The takeover's collapse and the resulting courtroom battle left behind a public accounting of just how wrong things can go in the complicated process of making generic drugs. The record illustrates how investors can lose billions—and doctors and patients can lose trust in lifesaving medicines—when that process is broken," the Bloomberg feature on the failed Fresenius-Akorn deal said.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has asked companies that make sartan blood pressure medicines (also known as angiotensin II receptor blockers) to review their manufacturing processes so that they do not produce nitrosamine impurities.
These recommendations follow EMA's review of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N‑nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), which are classified as probable human carcinogens and have been detected in some sartan medicines.
EMA has also established temporary limits which are based on the maximum daily intake for each impurity derived from animal studies: 96.0 nanograms for NDMA and 26.5 nanograms for NDEA.
The review estimated the highest possible cancer risk with these impurities. It concluded that if 100,000 patients took valsartan from Zhejiang Huahai (where the highest levels of impurities were found) every day for six years at the highest dose, there could be 22 extra cases of cancer due to NDMA over the lifetimes of those 100,000 patients. NDEA in these medicines could lead to eight extra cases in 100,000 patients taking the medicine at the highest dose every day for four years.
Meanwhile, a company in India has been accused of price gouging during the valsartan episode. Teva Pharmaceutical and Prinston Pharmaceutical recalled medications with valsartan API after testing revealed small amounts of a probable carcinogen. The same drugs produced by Alembic Pharmaceuticals did not show contamination, prompting the India-headquartered company to significantly increase prices.
In the wake of recalls by its competitors, Alembic trebled the price of 17 of its own formulations of valsartan in July last year. Those price hikes ranged from 329 percent to 469 percent, according to data from the healthcare analytics firm Elsevier. Later, the recall widened to include versions of the common blood pressure drug irbesartan. Alembic raised the price of its irbesartan too.
The strategy paid off — the valsartan price hike was among the primary reasons Alembic had "massive growth" in US sales from July through September, Pranav Amin, managing director of Alembic said, adding that it aims to "create a nimble supply chain that can react quickly to market opportunities".
After rejecting several Advair knock-offs in the past, including those from Novartis, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Mylan, FDA finally approved Mylan's generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's blockbuster asthma treatment Advair Diskus, christened Wixela Inhub.
Mylan received approval to market its generic inhaler in three dosages for the twice-daily treatment of asthma in patients aged four years and older, the FDA said. This is the first generic drug product approval for one of the most commonly prescribed asthma and COPD inhalers in the US, where more than 26 million people are known to have asthma (including seven million children). In 2017, GSK reported revenue of about US$ 4.19 billion from Advair.
The FDA also approved Evolus Inc.'s wrinkle treatment for adult patients, which is expected to compete with Allergan's Botox.
The treatment — called Jeuveau — received FDA approval late last week, nearly eight months after the agency first rejected the application citing deficiencies in its manufacturing and chemical composition. Evolus said it plans to price Jeuveau 20 to 25 percent lower than Allergan's Botox, which generated US$ 3.5 billion in sales last year. "The wait is on" to see what kind of damage it does to Botox sales, Wells Fargo analyst David Maris said.
Meanwhile, Allergan is asking the International Trade Commission to investigate Evolus for allegedly stealing trade secrets to make its new version of the medicine.
The complaint alleged that a former Medytex (its Botox partner) employee stole trade secrets on the complex manufacturing process needed to turn botulism into a drug, as well as a sample of Medytex' strain.
GSK buys Merck's immunotherapy drug: After announcing its US$ 5.1 billion buyout of oncology-focused Tesaro in December, GSK has made another huge bet on oncology. It is licensing Merck KGaA's next-generation immunotherapy drug (M7824) for US$ 343 million (€300m) upfront and a total possible spend of US$ 4.2 billion (€3.7 billion).
After receiving the upfront payment, Merck will become eligible for potential payments of up to US$ 569.3 (€500 million), depending on development milestones in lung cancer drug M7824 (or bintrafusp alfa). Merck could also get up to a further US$ 3.3 billion (€2.9 billion), depending on commercial milestones.
USP, short for United States Pharmacopeial Convention, announced its Generics Access Plan last week, as part of its collaboration with the FDA to better facilitate generic drug competition.
The plan will help increase access to medicines by facilitating generics competition through new and revised quality standards and related activities, including collaborations with the FDA and others. "USP standards can help protect the quality of medicines, such as by assessing their identity, strength, purity and dissolution," a statement said.
USP, a scientific non-profit, develops public quality standards which apply to drug products sold in the US. These standards provide generics manufacturers around the world with publicly available requirements and testing methods, as well as expectations for quality, which can help them develop generic versions of off-patent drugs.
USP's Generics Access Plan can help increase patient access to medicines by facilitating competition through new and revised standards, training and education, and collaborations with the FDA, industry representatives and others. The plan includes developing and updating quality standards supporting FDA's Drug Competition Action Plan (DCAP) priorities, including FDA's list of off-patent drugs for which generic alternatives are not available on the market.
FDA to improve utility of Orange Book: For generic drug companies, one of the most fundamental and crucial tools in planning their development efforts is the FDA publication — Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations Publication (commonly known as the Orange Book). This is a list of drug products approved by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It includes information about patents and their exclusivity and identifies whether a drug is currently being marketed or has been discontinued.
In order to maintain an up-to-date Orange Book, the FDA announced several new steps to ensure that it provides the highest benefit to patients and providers, and generic drug developers. This includes a new draft guidance that provides approved drug application holders with clarity on the specific categories and descriptions of the information they're required to share with the FDA on the marketing status for their brand and generic drugs and how to provide it in a timely and consistent manner.
"We want to make sure it provides as much utility as possible to aid manufacturers as they allocate resources towards the development of new generic drug products," Gottlieb said.
Calling the Orange Book update a "transparency initiative," FDA expects this undertaking will provide greater certainty around timing of market entry and enable more informed decisions.

Government Department stops accepting paper forms – but many rural farming customers do not have broadband – says Cork MEP
By Tom Collins
tom@TheCork.ie
Liadh na Riada MEPSinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada has urged the Department of Agriculture to continue to accept paper applications for CAP payments such as TAMS, SFP and BPS as well as online ones.
The Ireland South MEP made the request after it emerged that such applications can now only be made online.
"While I would welcome any system that makes getting money from Europe into the hands of Irish farmers easier and more efficient the Government is putting the cart well before the horse here by insisting on online only applications," she said.
"There are still huge swathes of rural Ireland with no access to broadband meaning such a move is only putting another obstacle in the way of those farmers getting those payments. This seems to be a case of a blinkered department in Dublin thinking that the rest of the country has the same facilities as Dublin.
"I would also remind the Department that we have more farmers in this country over the age of 70 than under the age of 35. For many of them online applications are simply not going to be an option.
"The move towards a faster, smoother online system is one that the government needs to make but it should be made in conjunction with those people who do not have access to these facilities, not at their expense.
"The government cannot fail to provide rural broadband and then punish those who do not have rural broadband. Paper applications must continue to be accepted alongside online ones."

Brady Faith Center holds 'God Love Ya' Awards celebration
By Diane Bostick
The Brady Faith Center's annual "God Love Ya" Awards celebration on Oct. 24 served up hope and faith along with tasty French toast and bacon.
Father Clifford Auth, a member of the BFC Board, started the day with his plea at the BFC's annual Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse: "It's time to throw aside fear, and misconceptions, allowing the leaders (from the church in the community) to listen to your stories and help the church achieve what is possible."
The Brady Faith Center is named for Msgr. Charles J. Brady, who was known as a person for others. He died in 1978. The faith center offers almost two dozen programs and says its mission is "to meet the spiritual, educational, and social needs of individuals and families in the Southwest Community of Syracuse. The Ministry maintains a presence throughout the neighborhood, serving residents of all ages through Eucharistic liturgies, human development, and educational and religious programs. Services are provided at the Brady Faith Center on South Avenue, as well as through visits to the sick, the incarcerated, families in their homes, and wherever support is needed."
"Our 'God Love Ya' winners exemplify a Christian witness to service, compassion and kinship in both the Brady Faith Center community and the wider Syracuse community," said BFC Executive Director Kevin Frank.
Typically, the BFC presents its awards at a breakfast attended by almost 500 people at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. But after the Mass this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, a small group of BFC members met at the new Brady Market, a BFC mission at 307 Gifford St., to celebrate the event, while others watched virtually from their homes.
Concentrated at the back of the freshly stocked grocery store are training, meeting and counseling spaces with a meeting hall. The market has about 18 workers who receive counseling and job training and also learn life skills. "I can't wait to come here to work every day," said Care Coordinator Jessica Porchello. "I love it here. It's what I trained for."
Syracuse youths could find their way on their own to a job or a better life but it seems the Brady approach accelerates this process.
"The ones that leave from the program, go to better jobs," Executive Director Frank said. "That's what we are all about. From day one they receive pay and have access to everything here. It's a safe haven and launch pad."
Carmelita Howard was humbled by winning her "God Love Ya" award. When asked why she was chosen, she said, "Well, I share my faith with everyone, every chance I get. My mother was a 'Brady Brat' before me, even my grandmother. We all worked with Father Brady many years ago."
Other award winners this year included Jim and Eileen Clinton and Trevor and Eunice Williams.
Syracuse resident Diane Bostick is a freelance writer, actress and book publisher. She is currently publishing a set of children's Christmas stories. She enjoys standup comedy as a hobby and her husband, Magic, inspires most of her comedy material.

How strong a strength do I need to have so that nothing will get hurt?
General CommentAwesome song, I really wish I could hear this sung by Nana in english. The meaning of this song, to me, is a wandering pair of people, a girl and guy in love. The strange thing is it sounds as if she is singing about protecting the person she is with, being very powerful. However, despite her abilities the companion gets injured because of her mistakes. The protector doubts herself slightly, and is hurt by the sins that she can never let go of, but will always persevere and continue to do her best to protect the one she loves.
Sounds like the song could be sung for Vash the Stampede.
General CommentOr better yet, a song that perfectly reflects Roland Deschain's feelings to his ka-tet, from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

Baahubali 2 Karnataka release controversy, State wide shut down in protest?
Home Garam News Baahubali 2 Karnataka release controversy, State wide shut down in protest?
Comments made almost a decade ago by actor Sathyaraj have put the Karnataka release of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in jeopardy. The actor who plays the key role of Kattappa in the epic historical drama, allegedly voiced anti-Kannada sentiments when speaking 9 years ago about the Cauvery water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. A viral video of these controversial comments surfaced about two weeks ago, and has angered regional pro-Kannada organisations who are threatening to stall the release of Baahubali 2 in the state. They are demanding an unconditional apology from Sathyaraj before the film's release date on 28th April, or else they will enforce a Bengaluru Bandh (shut down) and call for state-wide protests on that day.
Tamil Nadu-born actor Sathyaraj's comments came during the height of the dispute over the sharing of river Cauvery's water between the states, but had gone unnoticed until now for some reason. In that time, around 30 of his films have been released in Karnataka without incident, including the blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning. Director SS Rajamouli has moved to appease the dissenting groups, saying that the filmmakers in no way endorse Sathyaraj's personal remarks. He has appealed to them to not stall the release of Baahubali 2 in the state, as such a move won't affect Sathyaraj as much as it will the film's producers, and fans who won't be able to watch it as a result.
In response to Rajamouli's appeal, Vatal Nagaraj, who heads Kannada Okoota, an umbrella organisation of pro-Kannada groups, said that while they have nothing against the film or Rajamouli, they will continue their protests until they receive an apology from Sathyaraj. The Baahubali 2 team has also visited Bengaluru in an attempt to resolve the issue, asking actor Ambarish and Karnataka Film Chamber president Sa Ra Govind to conciliate, but it seems the angered parties will only allow the film's release once the actor makes a public apology to the people he has offended.
The Karnataka market, which includes the lucrative Bengaluru multiplexes and areas bordering Andhra Pradesh, is key to the financial success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The prequel, released in 2015, is believed to have been the most successful non-Kannada film in Karnataka, and it is the only state where all three versions of the film (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) are scheduled to be released. While the issue has escalated into a political row and a state-wide shut down (bandh) has been threatened by protesters, producer Shobu Yarlagadda has expressed his hope that they will reach an amicable resolution before Baahubali 2's release on April 28th, 2017.

Fox Picks Up J.J. Abrams' Mysterious Show 'Alcatraz'
By Germain Lussier/Sept. 16, 2010 9:00 am EST
J.J. Abrams just keeps coming out with awesome stuff. He's executive producing Undercovers, which premieres September 22 on NBC, Super 8 is in currently in the works, there's that Jonathan Nolan show he'll a part of and, of course, we all are waiting for more news on Star Trek 2. But, in the meantime, it seems Hollywood's international man of mystery has another secret up his sleeve. Fox just announced that they've made a "pilot commitment" to a show Abrams will produce called Alcatraz. Hit the jump to read what little we know about it.
The only concrete information we have about the show itself is this log line: "A show about mysteries, secrets and the most infamous prison of all time: Alcatraz." Now, right off the bat, I have one thought: "Sold." I'm there. But, it only gets better. In addition to Abrams, the show will be executive produced by both Bryan Burk and Elizabeth Sarnoff. Burk, of course, works very regularly with Abrams and Sarnoff was one of the unheralded producers and writers on Lost. Several different networks were vying for the show but Fox, which already is in the Abrams business with Fringe, ended up winning. Sarnoff wrote the pilot script that Fox committed too and the original idea came from writers Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, who will also serve as executive producers.
So – all of that said, it's speculation time. What do Abrams and company have up their sleeves for a show set on Alcatraz? Obviously, there's an irony to having another show set on an island so I would venture to guess that's the only thing Alcatraz have in common with Lost. Personally, I envision a period show, set well before Alcatraz was closed in 1963, maybe with ghosts haunting the famous inmates and a few wrongfully incarcerated prisoners trying to escape and figure out the mystery. Though, it would be really cool if it was just a sequel to The Rock following crazy Stanley Goodspeed back to Alcatraz with his mystery filled microfilm. Who wouldn't want to know who killed JFK?
What do you guys think about this show? What do you want it to be, what do you want to see and do you think it'll get past the pilot stage?

Facebook Spent $21 Billion on a Company That Just Lost $232 Million

By Victor Luckerson
Facebook's pricey purchase of WhatsApp, which closed at a whopping $21.8 billion, turned heads earlier this year because few thought the startup was making much money. Turns out, WhatsApp has actually been losing money. A lot of it.
The mobile messaging platform, which had 450 million users when the acquisition was announced, posted a loss of $232 million in the first six months of 2014, according to a new Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The company's primary revenue source is a $0.99-per-year subscription fee that only kicks in after the first year of use — the app doesn't show users any ads. Apparently that fee doesn't amount to much—WhatsApp generated $15 million in revenue in the first half of 2014, according to the SEC filing.
Most of the company's massive loss came from stock sales and issuing stock options to employees, but even when just accounting for day-to-day operational activities, the company doesn't make money. WhatsApp had a net loss of $139 million on revenue of about $10 million last year.

Facebook's Stock Plummets As User Growth and Revenue Miss Expectations
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, of course, knew all of this before busting out his checkbook. Still, Zuckerberg's not at all apologetic about spending such a large sum on such a tiny business. "This may sound a little ridiculous to say, but for us, products don't really get that interesting to turn into businesses until they have about 1 billion people using them," he said Tuesday during a quarterly earnings call with Facebook investors. "Once we get to that scale, then we think that they will start to become meaningful businesses in their own right."

In addition to WhatsApp, Zuckerberg noted Instagram and Facebook's search function as platforms that have the potential to reach one billion users and become huge money faucets. And he emphasized that Facebook is planning to make more big-ticket bets in the future. The company shocked investors when it said on that Tuesday call that its expenses will increase by as much as 70% year-over-year in 2015 because of a ramp-up in staff and, most likely, acquisitions. Facebook's shares slipped more than 6 percent on the news.
In some ways, Zuckerberg's willingness to spend huge sums barging into new sectors echoes Jeff Bezos's plan to expand Amazon's reach into an increasingly broad set of categories, like movie streaming and smartphones. The difference is Facebook has built a robust and still-growing advertising business that constantly defies Wall Street's expectations, so it has room to roam. The social network's ambitions will only grow from here.

Q: Medium Voltage Cables Concerning medium voltage cables, 12/20 kV, 50 Hz I would like to ask two questions
1)What is the difference between these two types of cables:

*

*N2XSY

*N2XS2Y

As far I know the difference is the overstealth. N2XSY has PVC overstealth while N2XS2Y has PE overstealth. In which applications should we choose one type over the other.

*Also there are those types of cables:

*

*N2XS(F)2Y that includes a water blocking powder

*N2XS(FL)2Y with water blocking powder and aluminium tape

When those two types of cables should be used over the classic one (N2XSY).

          scanf("%d",&T);

          char a[T][100];
          int i;
          for(i=0;i<T;i++)
          {
               fgets(a[i],sizeof(a[i]),stdin);
               printf("\n%s",a[i]);

          printf("hii");
          }
}

A: scanf does not consume the newline character. So, on the first iteration, the first character that fgets sees is the newline, and exits immediately. You also may have noticed that all the elements were off by one (i.e. the first string you entered is in a[0], the third in a[1] etc).
You'll need to insert a call to getchar just after scanf to get rid of the newline.

ROSS DEAL
Party : Democratic

Election preview: Indiana House District 7 extends south from South Bend through suburban and into rural St. Joseph County, an area that was friendly to Republicans in the 2016 presidential election but continues to send Democrats to the Indiana General Assembly, albeit by closer margins than in the past. Democrat Joe Taylor was reelected by 727 votes in 2018 – slightly more than he had won by in 2016 – only to resign barely a month after the election, saying he had taken a new job that would require him to move out of state. His timing drew criticism after Taylor acknowledged that he knew of the new job before the election but ran anyway in order to keep the seat under Democratic control.
To replace him, district Democratic officials chose Ross Deal, a former Mishawaka policeman working as an insurance agent and serving his second term on the Mishawaka City Council. In an interview soon after his election, he touched on common Democratic themes such as boosting teacher pay and increasing funding for the Indiana Department of Child Services. Though Democrats increased their numbers in the House in 2018, Deal arrived as part of a distinct minority with just under half the number of seats held by Republicans.
None of the legislation introduced by Deal during his first two years made it out of committee. One of his proposed bills in 2019 was to allow same-day voter legislation in Indiana, and another would have established a tax credit to encourage training in clean-energy technology. In 2020, Deal authored a resolution which, though it didn't carry the force of law, encouraged a legislative committee to study the feasibility of building an inn at Potato Creek State Park, which is located in the southern part of the district. The inn had been approved for construction under the Pence administration, but funding for it fell through as well as for several other projects tied to the celebration of the Indiana Bicentennial.
Though twice elected to the Mishawaka council, Deal will go before district voters for the first time in 2020, facing Republican Jake Teshka, also a Mishawaka Common Council member. Teshka, a former executive director with the St. Joseph County Republican Party, works as a business development officer with a credit union in nearby Goshen. He said in an interview with the South Bend Tribune that if elected, he would serve as an "independent voice in the majority,'' pushing to use more state money to increase teacher pay as well as to increase state spending on addiction treatment and recovery. The former issue had also received consideration by Republican leaders as part of the 2021 state budget, at least until the coronavirus-triggered economic downturn clouded the state's financial outlook. – Kevin Morgan

Sting and Shaggy are on the road in Europe and by all accounts are meshing their talents into a pretty unique show. The setlists thus far are fitting key tracks from the duo's new album 44/876, along with Sting's Police and solo classics, and Shaggy's always entertaining and positive string of hip hop hits. Among the Police numbers tackled in the show are "Spirits In The Material World," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Message In A Bottle," "Walking On The Moon, " "So Lonely," "Roxanne," and "Every Breath You Take." Sting favorites included "If You Love Somebody (Set Them Free)," "Fields Of Gold," "Desert Rose," "Englishman In New York," and "Love Is The Seventh Wave" among others.
One of the highlights in the show is the main-set closing number from Shaggy -- his 2000 smash, "It Wasn't Me." Shaggy told us that he doesn't want his fans to assume that "It Wasn't Me" is about him, or anyone else for that matter: "They are hypothetical situations that I pick out. It's not necessarily from my own experience. It's just like a song, like, "It Wasn't Me" was a joke I heard on Eddie Murphy's Raw when he was telling the girl, 'Hey, when she calls you, no matter what, if she caught you on top of it, it wasn't me.' Y'know, that was just something that I thought was dope."

small hole in bar ends where dirt can get in and not that many colors.
these grips made my old diamondback feel like a pro bike.
Very comfortable, grip my hands very well. I have owned 2 pairs, 1 white, 1 brown and I am about to buy another pair in glow in the dark.
I have had 1 pair that had a small tear.
I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Buy them, you won't regret it.

The Ravensworth Arms pub in the tiny village of Lamesley, a little to the south of the Team Valley Trading Estate, has connected to it two rather significant literary stories. The detail is brief, sketchy and may never be provable one way or the other, but the 'facts' are remarkable none the less.
We have come across the great Catherine Cookson before on this blog. Well, it transpires that had it not been for a chance encounter at our drinking hole in Lamesley, the literary world would never have been blessed with the storytelling skills of our famous Dame. For though Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, she was actually conceived during a fling between her unmarried mother, Kate McMullen, and one of the punters of The Ravensworth Arms. Kate just happened to be working there at the time (in late 1905), when in walked the shady Alexander Davies – about whom very little is known – for a brief, but very productive, encounter. Davies is supposed to have been a fairly well-to-do native of Lancashire – and a bigamist and gambler by some accounts – but he soon disappeared from Catherine's life – probably before she was born, in fact.
Even less is known about the other 'writing link' of note. It seems that around four decades or so beforehand, the soon-to-be-famous Lewis Carroll had stayed at the pub for a spell. Not so remarkable you may think, but it is believed that he was working on his 'Alice' adventures at the time – enabling The Ravensworth Arms, Lamesley, to claim another notch on its literary bedpost.
The town of Washington enjoys an elevated status in the annals of history for obvious and very well known reasons: its 'Old Hall' is the ancestral home of George Washington, a rather important eighteenth century American. But even the most devoted local would be forced to admit that their town's claim to fame is a tenuous one.
The ancestry of America's first president does indeed stretch back to Washington Old Hall – or at least to the building which formerly occupied the site. But the big 'clincher' for most interested parties – including the many visiting American tourists – is, of course, the name. There's no denying, however, that the gap between the last of the family to bear the name who lived at the hall and the birth of George himself is a very large one indeed.
It is with one William de Hertburne – a direct forebear of George – that the story begins. William it was who moved from Hartburn, near Stockton, to the area then known as 'Wessyngtonlands' in the twelfth century when he rented lands there from the Bishop of Durham. He then changed his name to William de Wessyngton, which in time came to be spelt 'Washington'.
The Washington family line of the future president seems quite quickly to have angled off elsewhere. In 1367 they migrated, first, to Lancashire; then Sulgrave Manor, Northamptonshire, from 1539. The family subsequently made its home in Essex, then Yorkshire, and finally, in 1656, they emigrated to the American colonies.
So, as far as I can tell, the last direct male ancestor of George Washington's to live in the town in Co.Durham that bears his name did so in the fourteenth century – and George wasn't born until 1732. Though other branches of the family hung on in the North-East, the hall/estate passed through several hands before being sold back to the Bishop of Durham in 1613, and thereafter rebuilt on its original foundations.
One individual more than any other helped spread British influence and drive its foreign policy in the Middle East in the early twentieth century. Moreover, that individual was a single, unmarried woman … and she was born here in the North-East of England. Her name was Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell.
Born at Washington Hall (now known as Dame Margaret Hall), a little to the south of Washington Old Hall, Gertrude entered this world in July 1868. She was the daughter of a well-to-do family whose general wealth enabled her to indulge her passions and interests across the globe to considerable effect. Although her mother died when she was three, she enjoyed a privileged upbringing and graduated from Oxford University before she was 20.
Thanks to her family contacts, she was afforded the opportunity of an early visit to Persia in 1892 – and stayed overseas for a decade, travelling widely and writing profusely. She was passionately interested in history, archaeology and languages – dabbling, too, in mountaineering – and began spending more and more time in Syria and Palestine in the years immediately before the First World War. The delights of the Ottoman Empire, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Babylon and many other exotic places were also devoured by her insatiable appetite for knowledge.
She served with the Red Cross in France in the early stages of World War I, before returning to the Middle East, where the British government used her in an official capacity to help shape and build their imperial ambitions. Her knowledge and relationships with local tribesmen paved the way for many a British success in their international manoeuvrings with the Arab nations. Gertrude worked periodically alongside the famous T.E.Lawrence during this period – essentially as a spy during hostilities.
From 1915 until her death in 1926, Bell spent most of her days in the country now known as Iraq, helping to establish its borders (among other things). For several years leading up to her death in Baghdad, she served in the Iraq British High Commission advisory group and was a confidante of King Faisal. She effectively acted as a mediator between the burgeoning Arab government in Iraq and the British government (who were keen to see Iraq established as a self-governing state). She was awarded a CBE for her considerable efforts in the region over many years.
In addition to all of this, Bell did much to preserve the new Iraq's heritage and culture, thanks to her interest in archaeology and history. The setting up of the National Library of Iraq and the Iraqi Museum were largely down to her. The strain of her workload made her frail, and she eventually died, aged 57, soon after a bout of pleurisy in July 1926 – possibly from an overdose of sleeping pills. She may or may not have committed suicide. Such was her reputation that her funeral in the Iraqi capital was a major public event.
It is fair to say that the lines Gertrude Bell helped to draw in the sands of the Middle East during the creation of Iraq (and Jordan, in fact) have indirectly led to the troubles of late in the region. But Bell herself certainly foresaw these problems, and made the best of what may be considered an almost impossible job. In fact, if others since had been blessed with the diplomatic skills of the frail little spinster from Washington, Co.Durham, then things may have panned out a good deal better in this tender part of the world.
Perched high over the River Wear on a grass-covered mound at a height of some 450ft stands the distinctive outline of one of the region's most prominent landmarks: that of Penshaw Monument. Offering outstanding panoramic views to those who take the trouble of scaling its lofty heights across the Wear basin and beyond towards the vast tracts of lower Tyneside, this most classical and unlikely of creations dominates the skyline for miles around.
Formerly known as Pensher Hill Monument, the site itself is perhaps best known as the night-time lair of the legendary Lambton Worm (though some claim that nearby Worm Hill is the better bet). The medieval monster, whose dirty deeds are recalled in many varied versions of prose, is said by one such account to have slept coiled "ten times round Penshaw Hill", from which it crept nightly to prey on local livestock and young children.
It was in honour of a Lambton, in fact, that the present structure was ultimately erected many centuries later in 1844. The famous County Durham family had long owned the hill, and it was to the memory of one of the most famous of their clan that the temple was raised by his contemporaries. Radical 'Jack' Lambton, later to become Sir John George Lambton, enjoyed an illustrious career prior to his somewhat premature death at the age of 49 in 1840. Having represented the county of Durham for fifteen years as an able Member of Parliament he went on to become the first Earl of Durham, and ultimately held the prestigious offices of Lord Privy Seal and that of the first Governor-General of Canada (among other titles). By all accounts he was a well respected gentleman: humanitarian, well and widely educated, multi-talented and amiable, he would most probably have been embarrassed by the lavish tribute afforded him by his colleagues and subjects in the wake of his death. No expense was spared: top local architects – the father and son partnership of John and Benjamin Green (who had only a few years previously completed two of Newcastle's most famous landmarks, the Theatre Royal and Grey's Monument) – were commissioned to the task, and soon the plans were complete.
The opening ceremony – the laying of the foundation stone – took place on Wednesday 28th August 1844, and was conducted by Thomas, Earl of Zetland, who bore the illustrious title of Grand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons of England. Over 30,000 locals are said to have witnessed the occasion.
The finished monument – based on the famous Temple of Hephaestus (or Theseus) in Athens – measured, or rather measures, 100ft by 53ft in length and breadth, and is 70ft high, with eighteen columns in the classical style, each 6ft 6in in diameter. A monument fit for a god, never mind a Lambton! Make no mistake, Penshaw Monument is no folly – nothing could be further from the truth. Now in the capable, caring hands of the National Trust, it is open to the public all year round during daylight hours – though access to the top of the monument itself is restricted to weekend tours in the summer.

We praised the design of the In-Win 904 in our original review, and were thus excited to hear that In-Win also had a mini-ITX version of the chassis planned. Seeing the 901 for the first time, it doesn't disappoint, as the design looks even better with smaller dimensions. It comprises a 4mm thick sheet of brushed aluminium and two tempered glass side panels – it's quite something to look at, and is a design in a class of its own in a world typically full of black steel and plastic boxes. The single aluminium sheet flows with attractive curved edges around case, uninterrupted except for the rear detachable panel, as well as front LED logo and the rubber feet, which help it grip your desk or floor.
Despite the abundance of aluminium, the thickness of it means that the 901 is still fairly hefty. The build quality of the metal is simply outstanding with no bend or wobble whatsoever. Of course, on the other hand, there's the glass panels, and though these are tempered and thus stronger than your average bit of glass, you'll still need to use extra care when handling them, as the sign on the panel itself dictates.
The aforementioned rear panel is released via four thumbscrews that are fixed to the panel for ease of use and so you can't lose them. The panel consists of mesh as well as larger cutout holes. The mesh provides an area of airflow for the rear 92mm fan mount found on the case's inner wall. This fan mount is empty by default; in fact, like its bigger brother, the 901 ships with zero fans.
The bigger holes on the rear are where you'll thread the connectors through to reach your motherboard's I/O panel. This may prove rather inconvenient if you're frequently plugging in and unplugging equipment here, but it's at least an effective way of partially shielding the ugly mass of cables and connectors here from view. Thanks to some special adaptor screws, you're also able to mount 120mm radiator all-in-one liquid coolers to the outside of this rear panel, using the large holes to feed the tubing through. However, this will obviously spoil the case's sleek exterior, so we can't see it being a popular choice.
As with the 904, there's a spacious cutaway section through the case at the front. As well as livening up the aesthetic, this area allows cool air to enter the case from the front – either drawn in naturally by CPU and GPU fans inside, or pushed in by a 120mm fan that you can choose to install. This fan is installed into a slide out bracket, which is released by a single thumbscrew. It's easy to do but does necessitate the removal of both side panels (one to install the fan, the other to pull through its power cable). There's also a dust filter fitted to the inlet that uses powerful magnets to attach itself.
Click to enlarge - In the cutaway section is an optical drive bay cover (left) and a fan filter for the 120mm fan mount (right)
Inside this cutaway section is also a pull out cover for the case's single slimline optical disk drive mount, which is front facing and has an EZ Swap panel so you only need to slot the drive into place and connect the panel's internal cables before it's ready to go. The cutaway section is large enough so as to not block tray-loaded ODD drives from fully opening, but slot loaded drives would certainly be a better fit for the case's aesthetic.
Finally, on the left hand side of the case, just above the edge of the cutaway, is the front I/O panel. It's a basic but functional design with two USB 3 ports and the regular dual audio jacks as well as the 901's very subtle power button.
