Red Rocket star Simon Rex is ready to shoot his shot
Let's talk about Rex, baby.

In a career that spans from '90s MTV VJ to the Scary Movie franchise, Simon Rex, 47, has seen hype come and go. But his breakout as a midlife porn star in The Florida Project auteur Sean Baker's festival sensation Red Rocket (in theaters this Friday) marks a new notch on his résumé: serious contender. Recently, he talked to EW about how he wooed the world's biggest boy band, whiffing his chance with Matt Damon, and letting it all hang out (literally) on the streets of Texas in one harrowing and very nude Rocket scene.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is it true that Sean Baker just cold-called you about the role?
SIMON REX: Kind of, yeah. Basically I was just sitting around in Joshua Tree, it was early in the pandemic, and I get a phone call from a friend of mine who is very good friends with Sean's sister Stephonik, who does set design and the music for his movies. And basically Stephonik had called my friend and was like, "Do you know Simon Rex? We're interested in him for this role. Can you get ahold of him so we don't have to hit him on Instagram and he might miss it in his DMs or something."
So Sean called me and said, "Hey, I'm going to send you one paragraph from one scene of this script I wrote. I want you to read it on your phone and send it to me right now." So I did, and he said, "Okay, I need you in Texas in three days. You need to drive here immediately. Because if I fly you here I have to quarantine you for a week, and we're ready to shoot." They rented me a car and I just drove three days straight to Texas. And you saw the movie, it's a lot of dialogue. So I basically just started working on memorizing the material really quickly.
Was it all scripted? Because it has such a loose feeling, but it's also so well constructed.
Sean said it's about 20 percent improv in the movie in the end. A lot of the stuff had to be what's on the page for the story to move forward obviously, but he would let me riff here and there. He trusted me.
You're a California kid. How was it to be so deep in Texas?
It couldn't be more opposite than San Francisco, New York, L.A., where I've always lived. Texas is like its own country. But I think Southern folk are just kind of good nice family-oriented people. And they opened up their doors to us. They opened up their lives to us, because Sean works with real non- or first-time actors, it just made it that much more authentic and real and fun.
And the backdrop was so beautiful, the oil refineries and the dilapidated world that it's in, mixed with the Gulf. It's kind of like tropical Texas. It's just a trip, but I loved it.

Was there a scene you really struggled to nail down, either emotionally or logistically?
Well, obviously the running nude scene is physically challenging because we were hiding from police officers and neighbors. We were kind of just shooting guerilla-style, and it would be in the middle of the night. We would have to check that the coast is clear and then I would start running, and there would be a cop. And I'd have to go jump in the back of a van and put a robe on, and the cops would come up and knock on the window and look in the back. And I'm sitting there in a robe. It just looked so shady. [Laughs]
And then on the acting level, there's one scene where I'm leaving my wife basically. I don't want to give away too much of the movie, but it's like a three-and-a-half-minute one-shot no-cut breakup scene. Everyone can relate to that, or trying to get out of a situation. So that was tough on an acting level because it just had to be really grounded, and there's no comedy to it. It was just very real.
I love the chemistry between you and Suzanna Son who plays Strawberry, the teenage donut-store employee you seduce (or is it the other way around?). But obviously, she's a first-time actor, and you've been doing this for nearly 25 years. How was that, to be throwing her into the deep end of this thing where she's so physically and emotionally exposed, and she's got such a big part to carry?
I just really tried to make her feel at ease and comfortable. And then the cameras would roll, and she would just light up and murder it every single time. And then we'd cut, and then she'd be like, "Oh geez, maybe..."
I don't think she realized in the moment how good she was. So I was surprised at how much of a natural she was, but I'm not surprised, because Sean has a really good knack for finding talent, and just knowing that they're going to kill it. It's a weird thing he has. I don't know how he does it.
One of my favorite things in the movie is the use of the NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and the role it plays throughout the whole story. Was it hard to get the rights for that? I can't imagine NSYNC comes cheap.
[Laughs] Yeah. So basically Sean shot it and was like, "Fingers crossed we get them to sign off on this." And sure enough, after the movie was done and the producers had seen how great it was, they said, "Okay, we're going to give you more money to get the NSYNC song."
I don't want to say how much it cost, that's probably not up to me to say. But they paid a pretty penny. And all of the NSYNC members had to watch the scenes that it's in and approve it. So they all watched it, they all loved it, they all said okay. And thank God it worked out, because that song is so important to the movie that it's just, like, synonymous with it.
I'm picturing Joey Fatone sitting down with his family to watch Red Rocket, that is a visual. Alright, so you've had a pretty crazy festival ride with this movie. Was there a moment where you were just like, "Pinch me?"
Cannes was the first one we did, so it was kind of crazy for my first-ever festival to start at the pinnacle. Then not only that, but we were in the Palme d'Or category. And then not only that, we got a standing ovation for like five minutes. So that moment of just walking the red carpet at Cannes, getting the adoration of the French — who will be quick to let you know if the movie's no good. They'll boo you, they'll walk out. And we got an over-five-minute standing ovation. That was just, I can't even explain.
We didn't win, but I did get to have dinner there with Bill Murray. I was like, "I can't be bummed. We're in Cannes, we just got really close to winning. And now I'm having dinner with Bill Murray," so that was pretty much the highlight. And I'm wearing Bill Murray socks right now! I'm looking at them. They're not Bill Murray's personal socks, they're socks with Bill Murray's face on them. So. [Laughs]
I read this story online and I don't know if it's true, but that years ago, you auditioned for Good Will Hunting and it went terribly.
Yes. I was working at MTV, and Gus Van Sant saw me as a VJ and goes, "I want to read him for a movie." So this is landline days, before cell phones. And he had got my phone number, called my apartment. My roommate never told me that Gus Van Sant had called, he wrote it on a piece of paper that was like, under the TV. And weeks went by, and I looked one day under the TV. I'm like, "What's this?" And he said, "Oh, some dude Gus Van Sant called for you." I'm like, "Really?"
But I called and he brought me into read with Matt Damon for the small role of a bully that gets beaten up in a basketball court at a schoolyard. Couple of lines only. And I read with him and Matt, and he goes, "Simon, I got to stop you. This is a bad audition. You're not ready for this, but you have something. I see it in you. So I want you to go to acting class. There's really good ones here in New York, go and study." So he kind of sent me on my path, and I went and started studying acting. I didn't do that movie, obviously. But the rest is history.
So we can thank Gus Van Sant for Red Rocket, in a way.
Yeah, you could thank him for my whole life…. And 25 years later, I'm like, "I think I'm ready now." [Laughs]
You have a pretty long resumé at this point. What do people approach you for most, do you find?
Usually Scary Movie, those are so big. They still run all the time, and they're such a part of peoples' childhood. A lot of times people will kind of come up to me and they'll look at me like, "Where do I know you from?" And usually it's just this very awkward moment when you start rattling off what you've done.
Your IMDb page, basically.
Yeah. And I had moderate success with a rap, a comedic rap character called Dirt Nasty that I did for a while, a certain demographic knows me from that. But this movie is different, because now I'm getting respect and attention from auteurs and filmmakers and European film critics and all those people. I was never on their radar before.
So it's really kind of cool to have these people, these cinephiles and movie snobs coming up to me and really giving me credit and saying, "Bravo, well done."

Does that mean you're getting more offers now?
Yeah right now I'm having a moment, I guess you could say. Which a year ago, I would have killed for any of these offers. But now I'm in a position where I'm sort of sitting back, and I'm not jumping in and committing to anything right now. Because it's... that little window of time is really important, to not be tied into anything. Since nobody's even really seen the movie yet, this is all just from the trailer and word of mouth.
I also have a couple other great movies coming out. I did a movie called Down Low with Zach Quinto and [White Lotus's] Lukas Gage that's really funny. That's another Filmation movie that I just shot. I got another movie called My Dead Dad, which is an independent film, that's in some festivals. And I also have a movie called Mack & Rita where I got to improv with Diane Keaton which was amazing.
I've got more movies coming out in this window of time than I've had in a decade. So it's kind of all happening at once, and it's great.
What about your parents, have they seen you in Red Rocket yet? There's a lot to unpack there.
Funny you ask. I'm not allowed to get a link for it to show anyone, but I'm going to the Mill Valley Film Festival this weekend, so my mother and my stepdad and some of my high school friends are all coming. And obviously this movie has a lot of heavy content that's not going to be easy for my mother to see, right?
So it's kind of like, I know — I'm 47 years old and I still want to sit next to my mom and cover her eyes. But she's used to my shenanigans over the years, she'll just laugh and roll her eyes. And the good thing is, I'm accepting an achievement award for my acting there, so at least that will diffuse it. [Laughs] At least I'll get an award.

The best of Mexican food and Mexican drink.
My friends and I were having a beverage at one of our regular watering holes the other day and we were discussing our favourite drinks. We had the usuals: vodka red bull; gin and tonic; bloody mary; and yes, even a beer. We then got to thinking about alternate drinks and the lifestyle that we lead. Our conversation turned to drinks that we deserved, a drink worthy of our existence. Have you not met me? Yes, my friends and I are that pretentious.
There are some restaurants in DC that provide some fun excuses of a drink. There is Domku with its Lemon Grass & Ginger Aquavits and the Aloe Sojutini at Mandu, but we wanted one to make at home on a Friday night. We pre-game high end, not just your average six pack.
A friend had recently returned from some Southern state trip, not sure where, but he had heard of a margarita with jalapeno and cucumber. As most of us are huge Mexican boys food fans we figured it would be a great drink to try. And it was.
The fresh taste of the cucumber combined with the heat of the jalepeno was a great combination; the fusion of the two created a unique blend of spice and freshness. For people who are not a fan of chilies this is something totally acceptable. I'm sure if stronger chilies were used it would change the taste but the main flavour properties would still be present.
Disclaimer: Two glasses of these will get you pretty drunk, or even very drunk!
Check it out after jump.
Slice 8 pieces of cucumber and jalapeno, add the sugar and crush with a mortar and pestle. I actually don't have a mortar and pestle but I managed to crush them with a heavy spoon and a hand blender. If you have one then use it, I'm sure it would be easier.
Once the ingredients are crushed, almost forming a paste-like mixture, add to a drink shaker, along with the juice from 4 limes and juice from 2 oranges. Add about 16oz of gold tequila and fill with ice. Shake. Fill two glasses with ice, pour in the margarita and garnish with a lime and cucumber wedge. Drink… And get drunk.
And as Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, you should totally keep this thirst quencher in mind for your festivities.
As a spectator to the consumption of these sumptuous margs, I can say first hand that two glasses of this got Britannia quite drunk!
Britannia – I love you. I will be making this immediately.
Just one thing though… in my limited education on margaritas, I have learned to NEVER put gold tequila in a margarita. Does the gold serve a purpose here, or can I use tequila blanco/silver?
Also, try using agave nectar instead of sugar. It's amazing.
I'm sure that blanco/silver tequila would work just fine, I used gold as I thought it would give a nice look to it.
I have no idea what agave sugar is but from what wiki is telling me it is something I will be trying this weekend, maybe with blanco/silver too. Oh dear, another drunken weekend… as if it wasn't going to be anyway. Thanks for the tip!
tim – why no gold in margaritas? is there a reason why, or is it just too expensive to waste in drinks?
Gold tequila adds a "funky" flavor to mixed drinks that is sometimes objectionable. Gold may be great neet (which I never do with any liquor – can't handle it), but mixed in with other ingredients it frequently fails. I think as do others, that blanco/silver is much better.
This is one of my very favorite drinks! If you're ever in Southern California, stop by SOL. Its a great restaurant owned by the Mastros group (where we had dinner last night) but very cool laid back vibe, and GREAT food! Anywhoo they serve a fabulous Jalapeno Margarita! I may or may not have enjoyed my first one (just a wee bit) prego with Baby #3…might be why she is such a prefect baby! Thank for a recipe to make it at home!

(Interview) David Noller aka Scratch-D From Dynamix II: The Legendary Pioneer Speaks Out
technoBass.net
Dave Noller is one of those names that truly needs no introduction, a household name to die-hard fans of Techno Bass music all around the world, and a pioneer in his own right. Having been behind influential records such as "Techno Bass" on Chaos Records, as well as "Just Give The DJ A Break", "Atomic Age", and "The Plastic Men"; not to mention his own solo works as Scratch-D on labels like Zero One Music, Rephlex, Frajile Recordings, or Dynamix II Music, the man behind the iconic Dynamix II has been on an unstopabble path delivering mega-low bass drops, and ingenious programming to the masses, gaining the artist a reputation of being a sort of "Mad Scientist" for our music. This month, Santino Fernandez had the honor of speaking to him, gaining some insight into his background and accomplishments throughout his career...so with that out of the way, let's get on with it!
Santino Fernandez: Welcome Dave! It's an honor to have you spend some time with us to do this Interview. For those who don't know, tell us a little bit about your beginnings, what was life like for you that inspired you to get into making music?
David Noller: When I was still a child, each Summer and Winter vacation I spent visiting my grandparents in New Jersey. It was there where I was exposed to the ground-breaking mix shows that were airing on New York's radio stations like 98.7 KISSFM, 92KTU, 107.5WBLS and WHBI 105.9FM. It was a very magical time back then. Hip Hop culture was exploding all over the air waves on late night radio, and due to the popularity, soon mix shows began making their way onto daytime radio.
There was a mix show on 92KTU called "Paco's Supermix" that featured custom edited mixes by "The Latin Rascals", Aldo Marin of Cutting Records & "The Dynamic Duo". I would record these mixes to cassette and listen to them over and over and over until I could...Read more!

Q: How to documenting an argument object's function definition How can I document a class's argument, when that argument is a property which contains a property which is a function (whoah).
Example:
class MyClass {
    /**
     * @param {Object} options - configuration for the class
     * @param {Function} options.onSuccess - a callback function which has two arguments A and B
     * @memberof MyClass
     */
    constructor(options) {...}
}

How can I define that someone should use this class like this, where onSuccess passes two arguments, A and B (where A might be an object with other properties, etc.)
var instance = new MyClass({
    onSuccess: (A, B) => {...}
});

I'm using Visual Studio Code and it's showing no definition found. Is this possible or is it too many levels deep?

A: I'm not sure what the types for a and b are, or whether the function returns void. But here are some options:
interface MyClassArgs {
    onSuccess: (a, b) => void;
}

class MyClass {
    constructor(options: MyClassArgs) { }
}

Or
class MyClass {
    constructor(options: { onSuccess: (a, b) => void }) { }
}

This joint mixtape by Casey Veggies & Rockie Fresh "Fresh Veggies" just dropped. Can't really say a lot about it so far but the first few tracks sound very promising. No boom bap here, straight 2013 postmodern trap-a-like beats, sorry to disappoint you. A bit of trap doesn't hurt though, does it? And one more thing: Presented by Puma? Herzogenaurach adapting new rules? I like that!
Peep the tracklist below. Features and producers include Hit-Boy and Lunice. LUNICE! Enjoy!
I think a good mixtape for you guys to feature would be the InsomniAK mixtape by AK. He really has a great feel for hip hop. Brings an old school flavor and never duplicates the industry sound. Check it out when you have time I will leave the link here for you guys to check out.

"I WILL NOT APPROVE ANY FUNDING FOR TWIN PEAKS CASE" : BOOZEFIGHTER GEORGE HORSLEY FOR COUNTY JUDGE 2018-BIKERS MOBILIZE
by Insane Throttle February 13, 2018 February 14, 2018
1 Comment on "I WILL NOT APPROVE ANY FUNDING FOR TWIN PEAKS CASE" : BOOZEFIGHTER GEORGE HORSLEY FOR COUNTY JUDGE 2018-BIKERS MOBILIZE
Source: Legendary Jim
Boozefighter Jedi, George Horsley, is a huge man dressed in black, his goatee massive and spear-pointed like Mingus', head shaved clean.
He explains how they are being ripped off by a good old boy system that controls the real estate game and the assessed valuation of real property by formula designed to line their pockets, and not to create an equitable and systematic way of administering the tax rolls.
When the assessment district lost many lawsuits over complaints as to their shoddy work, he recalls, the County Commissioners Court, led by ex-banker Scott Felton, bestowed $650,000 upon the appointed authority – for purposes unexplained, but defined by common sense as means to make up the shortfall.
An ex-employee, a professional assessor by training, he moved his employment to Travis County, and commutes daily from Waco. If elected, he promises to take up his duties as County Judge on a full-time basis.
James "Hollywood" Macecari
George Horsley, also known as "Boozefighter Jedi" is running as a libertarian for a spot on the County Commissioners Court for McLennan County. The upcoming elections are a huge opportunity for the biker community to come together and support a common cause. What cause is that? To right the wrong that happened on May 17, 2015, also known as "Twin Peaks".
Before I get more into Boozefighter Jedi and his run for office, I want to take a minute to thank all those who have been reading and sharing the articles Insane Throttle has been running on the "Twin Peaks" incident. More importantly, I want to thank a little angel whose name I cannot mention, but a person who has put in tons of work into the Waco Incident, helping not only me to understand the situation, but also being a real part in helping many who are involved in this terrible situation. This women has put her all into this case, hopefully one day we here at Insane Throttle can write about her, tell everyone the contribution that she made bringing the "Twin Peaks" issue to the rest of us outside of Texas.
Insane Throttle will also be introducing a new columnist to the team. "Bellend" This Texas crackerjack will be bringing you two Columns: Incestuous Municipality- The Wicked Waco Web and Saddle Bag Cuisine Skills " How to Make Great Cuisine and Drinks with limited packing space"
Insane Throttle is starting to bring on some very talented Freelance Writers to round out the content we bring to the biker community. Those writers are Robert "Ghost" Hawkins who does "Ghost Riders Diaries" Legendary Jim who brings great onsite reporting and issues regarding the constitution, and now Bellend who will be bringing the two columns mentioned above. We look forward to bringing the biker community the best news site on the net.
What we seen in the after math of "Twin Peaks" was nothing short of a "Abuse of Power" and travesty. A police action like what happened on May 17 2015 in Waco is something that you would see in a 3rd world country. How the police reacted that day might be normal for countries like Iran, Russia, North Korea, but to happen here in the United States is disgusting and people need to be held accountable for it. Let's do an exercise.
Most of you know the layout of the "Twin Peaks" incident. If you have been following the reports, both here and mainstream media, you should have a pretty good idea on how everything went down between the Cossacks and Bandidos. Let's move to the real travesty in this whole incident. Close your eyes (I do this when trying to picture the incident ). What is the first thing that comes to mind when you're watching TV, seeing all those cops in riot gear trying to calm a situation? They get the crowd to disperse with the use of Tear Gas. After the crowd starts to disperse the cops move in and start making arrests. If the crowd is more dangerous then just a regular mob, cops will use rubber bullets to protect themselves.
This didn't happen in WACO. No tear gas was ever used to disperse those who were involved. Something that if used would've stopped the fight in it's tracks. I can bet you if club members seen tear gas flying and cops moving in, they would've dropped everything at that point.
Blue Dots are positions cop took
The above graphic provided by "Angel" shows the police as blue dots. If you were in the military you will recognize this tactic. Right, Center and Left Flanks were all positioned to give a perfect killing field advantage. The orange dots represent those who were gunned down. To be fair, not all were killed by the police. I believe right now the number killed by police is 4 out of the 9. If I'm mistaking please let me know so I can do a correction. Why does this graphic matter? When cops are doing crowd control, they face them head on, not in flanking positions as you see here. Also, during crowd control you do not have police come out opening fire with AR-15s. Get the picture?
After the what would be the killing of 9 Americans, over 20 injured in this initial travesty, another travesty happened to put more salt in the wound. Over 175 people were arrested that day under the orders of District Attorney Renya, many of whom had nothing to do with the fight or the situation in general. What America seen that day in Waco, just like it did in 1993, was a out of control local government who took it upon themselves to violate the citizens it was suppose to represent.
So far, District Attorney Reyna (A man who is currently under investigation himself, everything from fixing friends and relatives legal issues to FBI criminal investigation) Reyna has turned Waco into a circus, a costly one at that. He recently requested more money from the Board of Commissioners to keep the circus going, even after the first trial ended in a mistrial, and 20 more cases were dropped.
When will the madness stop? When the citizens of Waco put an end to it at the ballot box. Only the citizens there in McLennan County can do this. The motorcycle clubs and independents should be out there helping the candidacy of George Horsley and Barry Johnson.
Here's what you will get if you step up to the plate with these two people running for offices that could end this circus. One who is apart of us, a fellow biker and member of a motorcycle club. He has already said he would be a "No Vote" on any more funding for the Twin Trials. The second, running for District Attorney, he has said he will go case by case to determine which ones are good and which ones are bad. These two positions could shut off the lights on the circus that is "Twin Peaks". It's time we shut the circus down, time for bikers to get out there and show the muscle we are as a community. This is a chance to right a wrong, a chance to bring balance to a terrible situation that has affected so many. Hopefully clubs, Abate, COC and independents will seize on this opportunity. If they don't, no one is to blame but ourselves.

Someone's Put The Classic V10 Engine Sound Over Modern F1 Cars And It's Incredible!
The final episode of the second season of The Grand Tour has come and gone, and surprisingly, it brought quite a bit of controversy with it. Did you know the Mozambique special offended a bunch of people online? I wasn't aware of that until I was browsing Twitter and Facebook and saw that a majority of comments and threads were about how insensitive the episode was.
The bulk of the complaints seem to be this: it was uncool of Jeremy and Co. to make light of poverty and to waste food like all that fish. Equally uncool was the end where they showed back up in the village where they promised a bunch of fish, but instead set up booths where they had virtually nothing.
I'm usually at the back of the queue to jump on the PC bandwagon but not sure about the last episode of #thegrandtour at all. Uncomfortable on a number of levels.
Sure having a bunch of scripted humor in an impoverished area of the country may not have been the best of ideas, but at the same time, the operative word here is "scripted." Remember "scripted?" It's that thing that many fans complain that The Grand Tour uses too much of.
It's interesting, then, that there are those that suddenly believe that the boys actually went in there and waved a bunch of ruined fish under the noses of a starving village. Look, I don't claim to know anything of what goes on behind the scenes, especially in regards to filming in another country.
It seems unlikely, however, that the cast and crew did exactly what you saw onscreen. Was there some kind of behind the scenes humanitarian aid for the village in order to allow filming there? Who knows, but it seems more likely than Jeremy and Co. showing up, promising fish, then arriving with ruined food and laughing in the villager's faces.
At least I would hope not. At the end, it's three celebrities making fun of the often shallow nature of celebrity charity, but with the actual issue of poverty as a backdrop. It's an iffy premise to begin with.
Im not a very smart person but what i took fron the episode was the ridiculous situation. That a small village 250 miles from the sea has no food because of the lack of a proper road. Those bikes like the one Hammond was riding could in theory as he said do 2-3 runs a day. If they just had a small investment in a proper road.

Q: updating DATETIME causes sqlite error on BB10 I created my table with this query
CREATE TABLE SETTINGS(NAME VARCHAR(1050), VALUE VARCHAR(1550),CREATE_DATE_TIME DATETIME,UPDATE_DATE_TIME DATETIME, PRIMARY KEY(NAME))

Then I inserted data like this
INSERT INTO SETTINGS(NAME, VALUE ,CREATE_DATE_TIME ,UPDATE_DATE_TIME) VALUES('CellIDKey','Android@MoblLe.NAv',DATETIME('NOW'), DATETIME('NOW'))

At this point it works fine. Now if I want to run an update query like this,
UPDATE SETTINGS SET VALUE='Android@AfriG1s.MoblLe.NAv' CREATE_DATE_TIME=DATETIME('NOW')  WHERE NAME='CellIDKey'

It shows the following error on console
QSqlError::type= "QSqlError::ConnectionError" , QSqlError::number= -1 , databaseText= "No query" , driverText= "Unable to fetch row"

But if I run this update query like this,
UPDATE SETTINGS SET VALUE='Android@AfriG1s.MoblLe.NAv' WHERE NAME='CellIDKey'

Now it works fine. I don't know what is wrong with the DATETIME('NOW') statement on update query.

A: This is not valid SQL:
UPDATE SETTINGS SET VALUE='Android@AfriG1s.MoblLe.NAv' CREATE_DATE_TIME=DATETIME('NOW')  WHERE NAME='CellIDKey'
-- ---------------------------------------------------^ Missing comma!

The individual assignments in a SET need to be separated by commas like this:
UPDATE SETTINGS
SET VALUE='Android@AfriG1s.MoblLe.NAv', -- This comma is needed
    CREATE_DATE_TIME=DATETIME('NOW')
WHERE NAME='CellIDKey'

Kids forced to use bushes if they get caught short at council-run play scheme despite school loos being open
Flintshire mum furious after she had to take home child who didn't want to wee outside
Kids on a play scheme were told to use bushes if they needed a wee, even though the school building was open
Children who get caught short during a council-run play scheme on the grounds of a school have been forced to use the bushes - despite the toilets being open on site.
Parents have been left outraged by the fact that their children have had to go in shrubbery on the playing fields of a Flintshire school.
Meanwhile, the school and its toilets are open to other children who are there for summer childcare with another provider.
One mum said she received a phone call asking her to collect her child and take her home to use the loo because she didn't want to go in the bush.
She told North Wales Live: "I know it is good that Flintshire Council do a play scheme, but if I was holding an event, I'd have to provide toilets.
"So how come the play scheme is in school grounds but the children are told to go in a bush as they can't use the toilets?
"Especially when the school has childcare in place throughout the summer so the toilets are open anyway?
"It's ridiculous."

Flintshire Council , in partnership with town and community councils, operate play schemes across 56 locations delivering 1,100 free two-hour sessions during the school holidays for youngsters aged five to 12 and up to 15 years for those with disabilities.
Younger children are able to attend with a relative or carer.
Claire Homard, chief officer for education and youth said: " The school grounds have been used successfully and safely as a play scheme location for a number of years without access to a toilet on site and that is the case with many of the 56 play schemes we operate around the county.

"Toilet facilities are not provided at the play schemes as they are very local and offer open access play so children can come and go as they would in play areas.
"However, when they take part in play scheme activities they are closely supervised and monitored by experienced and well-trained staff."

Economy has grown while China's economy has slowed down — and that could help the U.S. officials currently trying to reach a trade deal in Beijing.
"We have a chance to really make a deal, a real deal with China.
We've never been in this position before.
We've always been the lame duck, and we're not the lame duck anymore." President Trump said China wants to make a deal "very badly" because its economy has been hurt by U.S. tariffs.
The two countries have called a 90-day "trade truce" to hash out a new deal.
If negotiators can't reach an agreement, the U.S. will raise the tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods from 10 percent to 25 percent.
"If we're close to a deal where we think we can make a real deal and it's going to get done, I could see myself letting that slide for a little while, but generally speaking, I'm not inclined to do that." President Trump said a deal won't be finalized until he meets with Chinese President Xi Xinping face-to-face.
So far, the Trump administration has not said when that meeting will happen.

Lawsuit Against DHS Says New Asylum Policy Violates Child Immigrants' Rights
CLINIC, July 8, 2019
"Four young asylum seekers are suing the Department of Homeland Security saying that a new policy unlawfully limits their ability to seek asylum. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland, the asylum applicants say a May 31 policy by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services violates their rights under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), the Administrative Procedure Act, and the 5th Amendment to the Constitution.
The lawsuit was filed by the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), Public Counsel, and Goodwin Procter LLP on behalf of the plaintiffs, who arrived in the United States as children, unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian. It seeks class-action status and a temporary restraining order, blocking implementation of the policy.
The four young immigrants filed applications for asylum because of violence, discrimination, and persecution in their home countries. The TVPRA, a 2008 law, ensures that children who arrive in the United States without a parent or legal guardian can seek asylum in a child-appropriate interview with a trained asylum officer and that they are not subject to the one-year filing deadline.
"This policy changes the rules for these children's cases midway through the process," said Rebecca Scholtz, senior attorney with CLINIC. "This retroactive and unlawful policy eviscerates the protections Congress enacted for vulnerable children, and, if allowed to go forward, will cause grave harm to asylum-seeking children who face violence and persecution in their home countries."
Congress created the TVPRA protections in 2008. They ensure that children such as the plaintiffs, who arrive in the United States without a parent or legal guardian, can seek asylum in a child-appropriate interview before a trained asylum officer. The TVPRA also ensures that children will not be frozen out of the asylum system if they take more than one year to find an attorney and file their applications. The lawsuit aims to preserve these protections in the face of a policy that USCIS adopted May 31, 2019, without advance notice to the public and an opportunity for public comment.
The new policy requires asylum officers to redetermine whether an asylum applicant who had already been found to be an "unaccompanied alien child" continued to meet the statutory definition of that term on the date of filing for asylum. The policy applies to all USCIS decisions issued on or after June 30, 2019. This means that child asylum applicants who submitted their filing after they had turned 18, or after reunifying with a parent or legal guardian, face the prospect of having USCIS refuse to decide their asylum applications, even those filed long ago.
The new policy would force affected child asylum applicants to raise their claims only in an adversarial immigration court hearing. The redetermination policy also applies to unaccompanied children's exemption from a one-year filing deadline for asylum, meaning that if the affected children lose their TVPRA protections as unaccompanied children they may lose eligibility for asylum altogether.
"No child fearing persecution should find their path to safety blocked with unreasonable obstacles," said Scott Shuchart, an attorney with KIND. "In Maryland alone, KIND serves many children who stand to be deprived of these basic safeguards established by Congress. We ask the court to ask the executive branch to follow the law. It is ironic to see yet another harsh move against asylum seekers coming this month, as we are celebrating our own nation's freedoms, not least the freedom from fear."
"Congress rightly created special asylum protections for children, and we are fighting to keep those in place — not just for our own clients, but for children nationwide. A 7-year-old's only route to asylum should not require cross-examination by a government attorney in court," said Kristen Jackson, senior staff attorney at Public Counsel.
"We are troubled by the administration's decision — with no notice to the public — to remove protections Congress provided for immigrant children seeking asylum," said Kevin DeJong, attorney at Goodwin Procter LLP. "We aim to halt this harmful policy, which retroactively imposes a one-year bar on filing for asylum for many vulnerable children, and takes them out of an asylum process designed for them in favor of putting them in front of a judge and prosecutor."
The defendants are the Department of Homeland Security and its acting secretary, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and its acting director.

Astronaut Scholarship Winner Has Out-Of-This-World Goals
Matthew Hurst. Image Credit: CU Boulder
November 15, 2016 – Matt Hurst dreams of becoming an astronaut. It's a desire shared by many around the world, but for Hurst, these are not merely idle thoughts of someone staring at the night sky. As a University of Colorado Boulder aerospace student, Hurst is on a path he hopes will take him into space. If not, his drive and skill assure he'll play a leading role in the aerospace industry for decades to come.
"There are two tracks to get to space, to be military, or through research and academia. I'm on the second track," said Hurst, an undergraduate senior.
Mercury 7 Scholarship
He's already making waves in the space community. Hurst is one of two CU Boulder students to earn a 2016 scholarship from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, an organization founded by the Mercury 7 astronauts to promote US leadership in science and technology.
"It feels absolutely amazing. To receive an award from a foundation started and run by astronauts is a huge honor," said Hurst.
The $10,000 award was formally presented earlier this month in Boulder by astronaut Dan Brandenstein, who flew four shuttle missions.
Hurst knows that becoming an astronaut is a long shot. In 60 years of space travel, fewer than 600 people have made the cut.
"For me, being an astronaut would be awesome. There's so much you can contribute to the space program and in outreach to the public. However, the odds are very slim, so I should do something where I would be happy either way," said Hurst.
For Hurst, that's computational modeling of complex aerospace problems. It's an area where he excels, according to professor John Evans.
"Aerodynamics is the first class that really abuses you to use all the math you've learned. Some students ask, 'Why do we need to do all of this', but Matt really enjoyed it," said Evans.
Evans is working with Hurst and professor Alireza Doostan on flight lift modeling, a computationally expensive area of aerospace design. They're trying to find ways to make it less costly.
"You have to predict what will happen at a bunch of different altitudes, speeds, and angles, and it can take weeks right now to solve one problem if you use direct numerical analysis. We're working on ways to speed that up," said Hurst.
"NASA pretty much won't even look at you unless you have at least a Master's degree and three years of experience, so that's my next step," said Hurst.
His toughest task at this point is picking a focus area for a graduate program.
"Every class I take, I want to look into that area more. Trying to find just one focus is hard," he said.
One thing is clear, Hurst has a passion for research.
"I worked at Lockheed Martin the summer after my sophomore year, and I enjoyed it, but I missed the academic side. In business you're trying to get a solution to a problem, and then you go on to the next one. In academia, there's more room to just explore," said Hurst.
In the aerospace industry, that exploration can take many different forms. For astronauts, it may be a manned mission to Mars, but a trip to another planet is only the final step in a journey that begins with the development of new rockets, space habitats, and advanced electronics. Every step along the way can mean a new breakthrough, whether you're traveling to the stars or designing the technology to get there.
"Spaceflight has had such a far reaching impact for human history. You look at all of the products and advancements that have come from the space program," Hurst said. "Being able to contribute to an industry that has benefited humanity so greatly would be incredible."

What Happens if PSA Comes Back
After Surgery?
The return of PSA is a possibility that strikes terror in the heart of every radical prostatectomy patient; in fact, for many men, the dreaded follow-up PSA tests after surgery are almost worse than having the operation itself. What will you do if your PSA is no longer undetectable? The good news is, you may not need to do anything for years.
Does the man have a local recurrence of cancer that would respond to radiation, or does this represent micrometastases to lymph nodes and bone? Until now, there has been no way to tell.
In a landmark paper -- the largest, most complete study of the return of PSA after radical prostatectomy -- Hopkins doctors have developed guidelines to help patients and doctors know what to do if PSA comes back. Their remarkable effort -- an elegantly simple chart that accurately predicts a man's risk of developing metastatic cancer -- is the post-operative equivalent of the ''Partin tables,'' developed by urologist Alan W. Partin, M.D., and urologist-in-chief Patrick C. Walsh, M.D. Like those now-indispensable tables, this chart has the potential to revolutionize the way doctors and patients make decisions about what to do next.
''PSA is very sensitive in detecting any recurrence of cancer. That's because only prostate cells make PSA -- so if it goes up after a radical prostatectomy, it means prostate cells are still present somewhere. For all intents and purposes, it means that a few cells escaped the prostate before it was removed, and now have grown to the point where they're producing enough PSA to be detected,'' explains Walsh.
''Fortunately, for most men with organ-confined cancer, this never happens. However, for men who had more advanced disease at the time of surgery, the return of PSA is extremely frightening.'' Walsh originated this study to fill what he describes as a ''large knowledge gap'' for patients and doctors.
''The first thing many patients want to know is, how long are they going to live?
And the first thing many doctors want to know is, when should they begin treatment, and how should they treat these patients?
Does the man have a local recurrence of cancer that would respond to radiation, or does this represent micrometastases to lymph nodes and bone?''
Until now, there has been no way to tell. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, is based on 10,000 patient-years of follow-up data. Between 1982 and 1997, nearly 2,000 men underwent a radical prostatectomy at Johns Hopkins. Of these, 315 men developed an elevated PSA (defined as being higher than 0.2 nanograms/milliliter). Eleven of these men opted for early hormone therapy, and were not included in the study. The remaining 304 men were followed carefully.
''We set out to ask a few questions,'' says Walsh: ''Could we predict how long it would take for patients who had metastases to show them on a bone scan, and then once that happened, how long would they live? The news is actually quite good: Most patients do very well for a long period of time.'' On average, it took eight years from the time a man's PSA first went up until he developed metastatic disease -- which suggests, Walsh says, that ''there is no need to panic'' at the first sign of a rise in PSA. Even after developing metastatic cancer (detected by bone scans and other imaging techniques), men still lived an average of five years -- and if the metastases showed up more than seven years after surgery, men had a seventy percent chance of being alive seven years later.
On average, it took eight years from the time a man's PSA first went up until he developed metastatic disease -- which suggests that there is no need to panic at the first sign of a rise in PSA.
''When men see their PSA levels rise again, they think that means the cancer is back and they need to get treated right '' says oncologist Mario Eisenberger, M.D., a co-author of the study. ''But men often live for years without having the cancer spread. This information will better equip doctors and their patients to decide what treatment -- if any -- is most appropriate.''
This interval between the reappearance of PSA and the first sign of advanced disease can be predicted, the Hopkins researchers found, using three pieces of information:
The Gleason score of the pathologic specimen (the removed prostate, evaluated by a pathologist after surgery). Is it Gleason 7 or lower, or Gleason 8 or greater.
The time it takes for PSA to come back. Is it less than two years after surgery, or greater? And,
How rapidly is the PSA level doubling? Is it greater or less than 10 months?
Using these criteria, men and their doctors can pinpoint the likelihood of developing metastatic disease. For example: If a man has Gleason 7 disease, has his first PSA recurrence more than two years after surgery, and has a PSA doubling time longer than 10 months, his likelihood of being, free of metastasis at seven years is 82 percent. Conversely, if a man has Gleason 7 disease, but his PSA goes up within two years of surgery, and the time it takes PSA to double is less than 10 months, his likelihood of being metastasis-free at seven years is 15 percent.
''So the first thing these tables can do is reassure the many patients who are going to have a long-term, symptom-free, metastasis-free interval, that close observation is all that's really necessary,'' says Walsh. On the other hand, says urologist Alan W. Partin, M.D., Ph.D., co-author of the study: ''If their chances of progressing rapidly are high, they may wish to start hormonal therapy earlier or get involved in an experimental trial'' of more aggressive treatment. ''These tables are going to help men who are at low risk and help men at high risk make a more educated decision. We hope it will also decrease the anxiety for some of them.'' The tables will also provide invaluable baseline data for future drug research, adds Partin. ''Until now, it's been difficult to know if a drug was helping someone, because you couldn't be sure what the disease would have done on its own. Now, researchers can compare their treatment groups with our study group and tell if their treatment is improving ''
WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN
If you have a Gleason score of 5-7 Your PSA increased more than two years after surgery
AND your PSA doubling time was greater than 10 months:
Your chance of not developing metastasis (having a bone positive scan) in:
Three years: 95 percent
Five years: 86 percent
Seven years: 82 percent
OR your PSA doubling time was less than 10 months:
Your chance of not developing metastasis in:
OR your time to first PSA recurrence was less than two years:
If you have a Gleason score of 8-10 AND your time to first PSA recurrence was greater than two years:
PSA Anxiety:
The Downside of Ultra- Sensitive Tests
You've had the radical prostatectomy, but deep down, you're terrified that it didn't work. So here you are, a grown man, living in fear of a simple blood test, scared to death that the PSA- an enzyme made only by prostate cells, but all of your prostate cells are supposed to be gone -- will come back. Six months ago, the number was 0.01. This time, it was 0.02.
You have PSA anxiety. You are not alone.
This is the bane of the hypersensitive PSA test: Sometimes, there is such a thing as too much information. Daniel W Chan, Ph.D., is professor of pathology, oncology, urology and radiology, and Director of Clinical Chemistry at Hopkins. He is also an internationally recognized authority on biochemical tumor markers such as PSA, and on immunoassay tests such as the PSA test. This is some of what he has to say on the subject of PSA anxiety:
The only thing that really matters, he says, is: ''At what PSA levels does the concentration indicate that the patient has had a recurrence of cancer?'' For Chan, and the scientists and physicians at Hopkins, the number to take seriously is 0.2 nanograms/milliliter. ''That's something we call biochemical recurrence. But even this doesn't mean that a man has symptoms yet. People need to understand that it might take months or even years before there is any clinical physical evidence.''
On a technical level, in the laboratory, Chan trusts the sensitivity of assays down to 0. 1, or slightly less than that. ''You cannot reliably detect such a small amount as 0.01,'' he explains. ''From day to day, the results could vary -- it could be 0.03, or maybe even 0.05'' -- and these ''analytical'' variations may not mean a thing. ''It's important that we don't assume anything or take action on a very low level of PSA. In routine practice, because of these analytical variations from day to day, if it's less than 0. 1, we assume it's the same as nondetectable, or zero.''

A: You should make sure the version for angular/cli package in your package.json (you are using 1.6.1) matches with the installed package in Angular cli install task (which mainly installed the latest version 1.6.3).
To double check the version you installed in VSTS agent, you can add a Command Line task after Angular cli install task. Settings for Command Line task as below:

If the version is really 1.6.3, you should change the angular/cli version in package.json also as 1.6.3. Then build again in VSTS.

Besides, if you build your app succeed in local machine, you can create a private agent which located in the same local machine, then remove the  Angular cli install task in your VSTS build definition, and then build by the private agent, it should also build successful.
The way to create a private agent as below:

*

*Create a PAT with all scopes authorized (if you already have, then skip this step):
In Security page (https://account.visualstudio.com/_details/security/tokens) -> Add -> input description -> Create Token -> copy the new generated token.

*Config agent:

Pigment of the Month: Sienna
Raw Sienna
We are continuing our Pigment of the Month series with a rich brown called Sienna. This natural pigment is one that dates back millennia when it was used in some of the first known cave paintings. Sienna is made from clay composed of iron oxide and manganese oxide, two minerals that are common in soil. In fact, Sienna gets its name from the Italian 'terra di Siena,' meaning "earth of Siena." Siena, a small city in the region of Italy known as Tuscany, also used to manufacture the pigment. Other names to which this pigment is referred are terra rossa (red earth) or terra gialla (yellow earth).
Raw and Burnt Sienna
Naturally, Sienna (or "Raw Sienna") is a yellow-brown color due to its high levels of iron oxide. When heated, however, the iron oxide dehydrates and partially converts it into hematite, which gives the pigment a reddish-brown color. This latter pigment is often called "Burnt Sienna."
"Sistine Madonna" by Raphael, 1512, contains Raw Sienna.
Sienna was used by the ancient Romans, and gained popularity and large-scale use during the Renaissance, when it became one of the most widely used brown pigments from the 16th to the 19th century. It was during the Renaissance that the Italians experimented to create richer hues of the pigment.
"Madonna," Edvard Munch, 1894.
Some notable works containing Sienna include "Madonna" by Edvard Munch (1894), "La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat (1884-86), and many of Rembrandt's famously brown-dominated canvases.
"Self Portrait with Plumed Beret," by Rembrandt van Rijn, 1629.
By 1940, most of the traditional sources of the pigment in Italy had been exhausted, and though pigments like Sienna were found in Sicily, Germany, and France, the color is not as pure in hue and texture. Nowadays the natural sources are depleted, and the pigment is created synthetically.
