Jeremy Sims' feature documentary Wayne, follows the incredible career of the 1987 500cc Motorcycle World Championship winner, Wayne Gardner, who created shockwaves in the motorbike racing realm when he became the first Australian to win the global Grand Prix. Known as 'the Wollongong Whiz', he was highly competitive from the start and as 'tenacious as a dog' in his unrelenting ambition; for Gardner, coming second was to lose - his only aim was "…to win or fall off".
His first dirt bike was purchased for a mere $5 and it was the first stepping stone on his path to success. He began racing professionally on 250cc bikes when he was 18 and almost immediately started winning races. In 1981 he was spotted by Japanese racing team owner Mamoru Moriwaki, who placed him on an international career track when he put Gardner on a modified Kawasaki in the Suzuka 8 Hours race and they beat all the major factory racing teams. It was also around this time that he met Graham Crosby, a New Zealander who rode for Suzuki, who sponsored Gardner so that he could race in the European circuit. He was invited to stay with Crosby in England and the Aussie arrived in the middle of a British winter clad in 'Stubbies' and thongs! Gardner rode, initially, for the Honda Britain racing team and then, after two years, for the Rothmans Honda-HRC team, eventually winning his first 'first' in the 1986 Spanish Grand Prix. This was quickly followed by wins in the Dutch and British Grand Prix and he finished second in the competition overall. His World Championship win the next year piqued racing interest in Australia and, in 1989, Gardner brought the first 500cc motorcycle Grand Prix to Phillip Island. This was at a time when Australia itself was maturing and Gardner's life matches the country's own to some degree. As Sims puts it, "I have a big interest in how Australia grew up. Watching what Australia was and how it changed between 1979 and 1990 was fascinating and Wayne was right in the middle of that. I think the nation grew significantly and showing this in a parallel with Wayne's journey was something I was really interested in doing".
Actor/director Jeremy Sims has a solid record behind the camera and his dramatic features Last Train To Freo, Beneath Hill 60 and Last Cab To Darwin and are all intelligent films with strong protagonists. He succeeds again with this feature-length documentary, his first, which is exhilarating while telling a very human story. Gardner's teenage sweetheart and long-term partner, Donna-Lee Kahlbetzer, was integral to his life and success and she is front-and-centre in Wayne, as she should be. She maintains she was convinced to go on a blind-date with him when she was 16 because she was told that he looked like 'a young John Paul Young'! Although they are no longer romantically linked, Kahlbetzer speaks fondly of her days following Gardner around the world circuit and there is terrific archival footage of the pair during their years together. There are also plenty of interviews with fellow travellers from the racing world and, most importantly, contemporary ones with the man himself.
Stylistically, there are some interesting elements to Wayne. Sims and his collaborators have chosen to let the subjects speak for themselves, so there is no narration or 'voice of God' hinting to us how we should approach Gardner, and he can be quite a divisive character. Seasoned NZ editor Tim Woodhouse is credited by Sims as being crucial to the unfolding of his story. In addition, the doc is punctuated by manga-type animation segments illustrating portions of Gardner's early life in 'the Gong' and it's a device that works well. Thus, Wayne is a fascinating film on a number of levels so even if you have no knowledge or interest in motor-cycle racing, there are other facets that will keep you engaged with Sims' creation, so don't be afraid to go along for the ride.

YOU ARE HERE NOW / Lights! Camera! WORTHING!
Lights! Camera! WORTHING!
Jan 21, 2019 | All
EVER SINCE WILLIAM LAURIE DICKSON arrived in Worthing in 1898 with a horse-drawn camera and a plan to capture English seaside scenes in motion, our town has been in love with films and film-making.
These days, you don't need a cart to drag your camera around, and film-making has come on in leaps and bounds. As local filmmaker Luther Bhogal-Jones of Faster Productions points out, "You probably hold in your hand a piece of technology which completely overrides pretty much the first 20 years of me making films." It's a far cry from the days when BAFTA grandee Sir Sydney Samuelson started out at the Art Deco Luxor in South Street in Lancing.
The famed cinematographer mopped up after the builders before moving on to train as a 'rewind boy', rewinding 35mm reels of film from one spool to another with a handle. As Sir Sydney says, "You just had to start at the bottom, claw your way up and hope for a bit of luck." And luck he had: he became a newsreel cameraman, going on to be the first British Film Commissioner and a permanent trustee of the BAFTAS and fellow of the BFI.
But making films still requires learning the ropes, and then some hard graft. If you don't know where to start, head over to the South Downs Film Makers (SDFM), who meet at Ferring Village Hall twice a month. The club began thirty years ago when members decided to investigate the new format of video; and what they may lack in youth they more than make up for in experience and expertise.
"Now we are reaching out to younger filmmakers, especially 18-30 year olds who need help to develop their talent," says filmmaker and SDFM publicity officer Alan Cross. "For those unable to afford film school or struggling to fund a film on their own, SDFM is happy to offer the use of their semi-professional equipment, including cameras, lighting and microphones."
There is plenty of moral support from fellow filmmakers out there as well.
"It feels like there's a bit of a community coming back in the last year or so, thanks to the Cellar Arts Club creating a focus point for creatives, especially with the help of Dick Douglass running the Close Up short film nights with local filmmakers," points out Luther. "You've also got the Worthing Area Actors and Creatives Facebook group and meet-ups started by Christophe Philipps which has helped bring people together again.
"Some of us have been here for quite a few years now, plugging away at it, growing in ambition, plans and scope which I think creates an encouraging environment for all of us and hopefully for the next generation."
Alan Cross, who also set up Worthing Screen Actors, enthusiastically agrees. "Wewelcome not only actors but filmmakers of all ages, abilities, shapes and sizes – just like real life!" The group is focussing on making films from 2-3 minute dramatic scenes to 10 and 30 minute shorts in 2019.
Alan Cross, Worthing Screen Actors
"In the end film is about taking audiences on an emotional ride, bumps and all," explains Alan. "We want to make films that do that mostly by getting it wrong at first but learning fast as we go."
Out of these chance meetings and networkings grow all kinds of community projects. Adam Seaman of As Described (the name behind the interactive Geminate Project that had us all dancing around in front of Colonnade House two years ago) has formed so it goes with Sam Bournerof Persistent Peril and Colonnade House's Richard Manders.
Their first event launches at the Films on the Gallery Wall festival in January with British experimental director Andrew Kötting's Lek and the Dogs followed by a Q&A and discussion with Andrew at Colonnade House. Together they plan to run an irregular cinema arts club in Worthing.
Films on the Gallery Wall will also collaborate with longstanding supporter of independent films Worthing Film Club for a screening of Blow Up, with a varied programme that also includes short films by local filmmakers, including Jason Davison, Bob Burke and Gabi Oda, Mark Jones, Dan Skelt, Richard Dunford, Honour Mission and John Fox.
Joining them on the bill will be Simon Messingham and Mark Tew of award-winning Worthing-based Button Pressed Films. As Mark points out, there are many opportunities to get involved with local film.
"Button Pressed is always looking for talented like-minded souls willing to give up their time. We are rather selective, but if someone is desperate to get involved, we never turn them down.
"Our big project for 2019 is our debut feature 'Disco', which is a heated 70s comic love story," continues Mark. "Our main need would be for extras willing to dress up in silly clothes and dance around in front of a camera.
"Disco" Button Pressed Productions
"And the other thing most filmmakers need is a script. So write!"
However, none of this is possible without an injection of cold hard cash, and independent films are made on a shoestring. Colonnade House holds regular sessions on how to apply for Arts Council funding; the next one is on 22 January.
"Some kind of financial help is always helpful," says Mark. "We regard Button Pressed as a commercial company, and arts funding is not traditionally inclined to support such ventures. We are not mainstream but there is definitely a niche market in Adur and Worthing for our work."
Low budget films therefore often rely heavily on the support of local communities and businesses. Mark explains, "The Cellar Arts Club kindly offered itself as our main location for Disco, which turned an impossibly expensive project into a very doable one."
"I think the community and businesses are more willing to offer assistance compared to Brighton," agrees Luther. "Luckily we have a variety of supportive locations and venues, most of which are coming from creative backgrounds or an interest in the arts."
Additionally, Adur & Worthing Trust is looking to commission works of art for 2019, including films. All work must be newly developed, shared with the public, and promote the creativity of Worthing and Adur. The scheme launches at Colonnade House on 30 January, with an application deadline of 3 March.
Karen Simporis of the Trust explains, "We are particularly looking for people who haven't received funding in the past or might have had trouble accessing grants so that we can try to give them a step up. We know people aren't always keen on paperwork so we've tried to make applying a quick simple process that's accessible to all."
"Adur and Worthing Trust's financial support was invaluable in getting my splatstick puppet horror short film off the ground," says Luther. "Their patience and faith in my film has been wonderful. Many of the more high profile bodies would not have supported such a film, whereas their help hopefully puts me in good stead for applying for funding elsewhere in future. I'm looking forward to submitting Snore to film festivals worldwide and spreading the Worthing word!"

New Funan Mall envisioned as Singapore's creative intersection
by Martha Soezean
in Arts & Culture, Property

Funan, an integrated development located right in the heart of Singapore's Civic & Cultural District, has scored another first with a one-of-a-kind experiential showsuite that brings to life a brand new live-work-play paradigm with cutting edge immersive virtual reality simulation technology.
Funan DigitaLife Mall which was closed in July 2016, is undergoing three years of redevelopment works at an estimated amount of S$560 million. The redevelopment is targeted to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
At the launch of Funan showsuite on 27 April, CapitaLand Mall Trust gave updates of Funan's latest developments, including the announcement of newly signed anchor tenants, as well as how it aims to inspire retail innovation and become the home of local creative talents.
To allow shoppers to get a glimpse of the new Funan, the two-storey experiential showsuite has been constructed at the junction of High Street and Hill Street.
This is also the first retail showsuite in Singapore that is open to the public with lifestyle programmes to engage and grow Funan's community of fans, whom are affectionately referred to as the GEN F Tribe, more than two years ahead of its target completion in 4Q 2019.

W!ld Rice, Singapore's leading professional theatre company, will build an intimate 380-seat theatre with an innovative thrust stage design.
Ivan Heng, Founding Artistic Director of W!ld Rice wrote on Facebook, "I am excited to share with you the news that W!LD RICE will be building a new 380-seat theatre at the new FUNAN mall. Located at the heart of Singapore's civic and cultural district, it is exactly where a theatre needs to be – at the intersection of commerce, art, government and history."
"This marks a milestone for W!ld Rice, and will make a significant contribution to Singapore's theatre scene. For the longest time, we have been dreaming of a theatre to call our own, and we are thrilled to have found a partner in Funan, which is reinventing itself as a hub for local creative talents," Mr Heng also said on the CapitaLand Mall news release.
Carrie K, an award-winning homegrown artisan jewellery label that has achieved international acclaim; and Keepers, a collective of Singapore designers – both founded by local designer Carolyn Kan – will set up a flagship store at Funan.
Former tenants that have helped to define Funan's IT legacy, namely Newstead Technologies, AddOn Systems and T K Foto, have also confirmed their return with bigger and better offerings.
Newstead will form Funan's largest IT anchor with multiple concept stores spread across 15,000 sq ft; AddOn will operate Singapore's Lenovo flagship and service centre; and
T K Foto will have a dedicated test zone for drone videography and photography. Rounding up the list is supermarket chain FairPrice Finest, which will launch a brand new supermarket of the future concept that complements Funan's digital edge.
Previously announced tenants that have signed with Funan include Golden Village, which will operate a multi-dimensional cinema; Climb Central, which will manage a 50-lane climbing facility; and Kopitiam, which will run a high-tech food court.
Mr Wilson Tan, CEO of CapitaLand Mall Trust Management Limited, said: "More than two years ahead of opening, Funan has received commitment for about 25 percent of its total retail net lettable area of 324,000 square feet, making this one of our most well-received developments to date."
"What is even more exciting is that each of our partners has committed to push the boundaries in its respective territory and experiment something new at Funan," said Mr Tan.
Championing local creative talents and innovation
The star attraction of Funan's experiential showsuite is the immersive virtual reality simulation (IVRS) studio, which features a five-wall projection system (spanning the ceiling, floor, as well as the walls on the viewer's left, right and front).
The fully immersive environment enables viewers, who don special goggles, to navigate and explore Funan in a full-scale, computer-generated world. They enjoy a high-resolution and stereoscopic threedimensional viewing experience far more superior than the realism offered by conventional two-dimensional images and videos displayed on desktop monitors and projectors.
Funan is one of the first developments in Singapore to adopt the state-of-the-art IVRS technology to market itself to potential business partners.

Located at the junction of High Street and Hill Street, the two-storey showsuite incorporates design elements reflective of Funan's design centerpiece 'Tree of Life', a wood-and-steel structure extending from Basement 2 to Level 4 that houses a variety of open platforms and studios that promote new forms of retail, experimentation and social learning.
Mr Kevin Siew, Vice President, Retail Development, Funan, said: "We envision Funan as Singapore's creative intersection where passion meets discovery, and the showsuite is its microcosm – an inviting space that serves as a platform for people to express themselves and be inspired. We are immensely proud to be working with some of the best Singapore talents, makers and entrepreneurs – both budding and established – to turn Funan's showsuite into a living showcase of local creative prowess."
Funan's showsuite will be open to the public daily from 11am to 9pm, starting from 30 April 2017, which coincides with this month's edition of Car-Free Sunday SG in the Civic District.
In conjunction with its opening festivities, visitors can expect a full day of activities at the Funan showsuite that include watercolouring and terrarium workshops, conversations with creative entrepreneurs, and an exclusive InstaMeet helmed by popular Instagrammer Yafiq Yusman, who is known for his unique perspective on architectural photography on the social media site.
The new Funan will also have a nine-storey tower of co-living apartment units, and two six-storey office towers, apart from the six-storey retail space.
Mr Lim Ming Yan, president and Group CEO of CapitaLand, said, "Co-working spaces are also being explored as possible tenants in the new Funan. This is important, not just for us, but for the real estate industry …"
"We are trying out new concepts from a piece of white paper on what a new shopping centre should look like," Mr Lim said.

Aaron Sorking, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of The Social Network and Moneyball, has been signed by Sony Pictures to adapt Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs. The book has sold more than 2.25 million copies since its publication in November 2011, and Sorkin has long been rumoured to be the man targeted by the studio to handle its big-screen version.
As well as adapting Ben Mezrich's story of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook and that of baseball coach Billy Beane, Sorkin also wrote the screenplays for A Few Good Men, Charlie Wilson's War and TV series The West Wing, a show on which he was also credited as executive producer.
The Sony Pictures version of the late Apple CEO's story is a rival movie to Jobs: Get Inspired, the indie flick currently being shot with Aston Kutcher in the lead role. It is not expected to hit the screen until 2013 and there have been no announcements about casting or directors.
If you can't wait for either film to be released, you can always check out the 1999 effort, Pirates of Silicon Valley, which never made it to the UK, but may be found on region 1 or Spanish region 2 DVD (which has the original English soundtrack) on eBay.

Pawan Sharma | May 21, 2012 | Important Files in RHEL | RHCSA Objectives Be the first to comment!
In this post we will discuss one of the most important file in Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is /etc/passwd. This file is very important because this serves as a default database of user on the system. Using /etc/passwd we can add users, modify user settings, etc from command line.
For user administration part of the RHCSA Exam this is the most important file. Using /etc/passwd you can do the exam tasks and also check the results to confirm your completed tasks related to users.
Each entry in /etc/passwd file contains 7 fields.
2. Password: An 'x' character indicates that encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow file. The 'x' refers and matches password value from /etc/shadow file. If we put * inplace of x then user can't login. If we keep second field blank then user can login without password.
3. User ID (UID): Each user must be assigned a User ID (UID). UID=0 is reserved for root user and UID 1 to 99 are reserved for other predefined accounts. It is a unique identity number for every user on the system.
4. Group ID (GID): Whenever a user is created a primary group is also created for a user. Every user have its own primary group but it can also have supplementary groups.
5. GECOS: This is optional and only used for informational purpose. Usually it contains the fill name of the user. You can say it as a comment field.
6. Home Directory: It represents the absolute path to the user's home directory. If this directory does not exist the '/' directory becomes the users home directory.
7. Shell: The absolute path of command or shell (/bin/bash). Typically this field contain information about user's default shell.
This file is one of the most important file as far as RHCSA is concerned. So do a lot of experiments on this file, but before making any changes to this file take a backup of this file.

There is no better way to judge the success of your business than to listen to what your customers say. For that reason, each year we conduct a survey of our customers, seeking their comments and feedback on our products.
Perhaps my favorite comments of the year came from two separate customers as I spoke them on the phone regarding their re-order for this fall. They both commented that our beef had taken some of the enjoyment out of eating in restaurants, since they could no longer find a steak that tastes as good as what was home in their freezer.
Below is a sampling of some of the comments from our customers from our fall, 2005 customer satisfaction survey.
We also asked our customers to rate our beef in comparison to normal, supermarket beef – 100% of the respondents rate the beef as either superior or much better than supermarket beef for the 2008 harvest, and 88% of the respondents for 2007 harvest rate the beef as either superior or much better than supermarket beef. For the 2009 harvest, this 93% of customers rating the beef as superior to supermarket beef.
Since grass fed beef has been around for a while now, we asked customers to rank our beef in comparison to other grass fed beef they have had. While most customers indicated they had no basis for comparison, 86% of those who had experience with other grass fed beef ranked our beef as superior to other grass fed products they had tried.
Perhaps the one area our beef is different from most grass fed beef is in fat content. Much grass fed beef is extremely low in fat, resulting in a relatively dry product with a lower flavor content. The flavor you expect from beef primarily comes from the fat specks spread throughout the beef (called marbling), and we choose to sell a product with a slightly higher fat content then much of the grass fed beef on the market, but with much better flavor. Most grass fed beef is not put through a fattening process (called "finishing"), but by developing a specialized sequence of grasses, we are able to finish our beef, achieving an excellent flavor and tenderness in comparison to most of the grass fed products on the market.

Linguistic common ground as privilege
2019 was named the International Year of Indigenous Languages by UNESCO. My friends and colleagues at the recent Annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) have been on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media discussing what this means for Linguistics as a field. With respect to publishing, several journals have pushed to emphasize linguistic research on indigenous languages. The LSA's own flagship journal, Language, has put out a call for submissions on different indigenous languages of the world. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America has even put out a call for submissions on under-represented languages.
There may be other journals too (which I am currently unaware of) attempting to emphasize how work on indigenous languages enhances our knowledge of language more generally, improves scholarship, and, in many cases, can promote the inclusion of ethnic minorities speaking or revitalizing these languages. This is all very positive and, as a linguist and scholar who studies indigenous languages of Mexico, I applaud the effort.
Will it be enough though? If linguists are serious about promoting the equality of indigenous languages and cultures in publishing, a greater type of paradigm shift needs to take place in what we believe is worthy of scholarship.
1. Not just a numbers game
When you read academic articles in linguistics, chances are that the topic is examined in a language that you know about. This is partly due to speaker population. There is extensive scholarship in English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Spanish, Arabic, French, Russian, and Portuguese because 4.54 billion people speak these as their first or second languages.
Where linguistic scholarship has developed has also played a strong role. There are 263 million first language speakers of Bengali and 23 million first language speakers of Dutch in the world. Bengali outnumbers Dutch by more than 11:1. Yet, a quick search on Google Scholar for "Bengali phonetics" reveals 4,980 hits, while a simultaneous "Dutch phonetics" search reveals 52,600 hits. A search for "Bengali syntax" reveals 11,800 hits while "Dutch syntax" reveals 180,000 hits. When it comes to academic articles, the numbers are reversed. Here, Dutch outnumbers Bengali by either 10:1 or 16:1.
Dutch phonetics and syntax are not inherently more interesting than Bengali phonetics and syntax. Bengali has a far more interesting consonant system (if you ask me as a phonetician). Even Bengali morphology, which is far more complex than Dutch morphology, is under-studied relative to Dutch. Dutch speakers just happen to reside in economically-advantaged countries where there has been active English-based scholarship on their language for many years. Bengali speakers do not.
2. Small phenomena in big languages, big phenomena in small languages
A consequence of studying a language that has a history of academic scholarship is that many questions have already been examined. There is a literature on very specific aspects of the sound system of English (look up "English VOT", for instance) and Dutch morphology (look up "Dutch determiners", for instance). If linguists wish to study these languages and make a contribution, they must take out their magnifying glass and zoom in on specific details of what is already a restricted area.
To a great degree, the field of linguistics respects this approach. Scholarship is enhanced by digging deeply into particular topics even in well-studied languages. Moreover, since many members of the field are familiar (at least passively) with the basic analyses of phenomena in many well-studied languages, linguists zooming in on the particular details benefit from shared common ground. Resultingly, linguists are able to give talks on very specific topics within the morphology, syntax, phonology, or pragmatics of well-studied languages. One can find dissertations focusing on specific types of constructions in English (small clause complements) or specific morphemes in Spanish (such as the reflexive clitic 'se'). This is the state of the field. Linguists all agree that such topics are worthy of scholarship.
But imagine if you were asked to review an abstract or a paper where the author chose to zoom in on the specific details of a particular syntactic construction in Seenku (a Mande language spoken by 17,000 people in Burkina Faso, see work by Laura McPherson) or how tone influences vowel lengthening in a specific Mixtec language (spoken in Mexico). These are minority and indigenous languages. Many linguists would agree that these topics are worthy of scholarship if they contribute something to our knowledge of these languages and/or to different sub-disciplines of linguistics, but where do we place the bar by which we judge?
In practice, linguists often think these topics are limited in scope - even though they are no more limited than topics focusing on the reflexive clitic 'se' in Spanish. A consequence of this is that those working on indigenous languages must seek to situate their work in a broader perspective. This might mean that the research becomes comparative within a language family or that the research is a case study within a broader survey on similar phenomena. Rather than magnifying more deeply, if they want their work to be considered by the field at large, linguists working on indigenous languages often take the "go wide" approach instead.
Note that this is not inherently negative. After all, we should all seek to situate our work in broader typologies and compare our findings to past research. It's just that the person working on the Spanish reflexive clitic is seldom asked to do the same. Their contribution to scholarship is not questioned.
3. Privilege and a way to move forward
For the most part, academic linguists believe that all languages have equal expressive power. It is possible to express any human idea in any language. Linguists also believe (or know) that language is arbitrary. De Saussure famously argued that the relation between the signified and the signifier is arbitrary. In other words, it is equally valid to express plurality on nouns with an /-s/ suffix (in English) or a vowel change (in Italian and Polish). No specific relation is better than another in a different language. If we take these ideas seriously, research on certain languages should not be more subject to scrutiny than research on other ones.
Whether intentioned or not, both people and languages can be granted privilege. Scholars working on well-studied languages benefit from a shared linguistic common ground with other scholars which allows them to delve into deep and specific questions within these languages. This is a type of academic privilege. Without this common ground, scholars working on indigenous languages can sometimes face an uphill battle in publishing. And needing to prove one's validity is a hallmark of institutional bias.
So, how do we check our linguistic privilege in the international year of indigenous languages? As a way of moving positively forward into 2019, I'd like to suggest that linguists think of the following questions when they read papers, review abstracts/papers, and attend talks which focus on indigenous languages. This list is not complete, but if it has made you pause and question your perspective, then it has been useful.
Question #1: What languages get to contribute to the development of linguistic theory? Which languages are considered synonymous with "Language"?
If you have overlooked an extensive literature on languages you are unfamiliar with and include only those you are familiar with, you might be perpetuating a bias against indigenous languages in research. "Language" is not synonymous with "the languages I have heard of." Findings in indigenous languages are often considered "interesting footnotes" that are not incorporated into our more general notions of how we believe language works.
Question #2: Which phenomena are considered "language-specific"?
There is value to exploring language-specific details, but more often than not, phenomena occurring in indigenous languages are considered exotic or strange relative to what is believed to be typical. Frequently, judgments of typicality reflect a bias towards well-studied languages.
Question #3: Do you judge linguists working on indigenous languages or articles on indigenous languages by their citation index? (h/t to Laura McPherson)
Citations of work on indigenous languages are often lower than citations of work on well-studied languages. In an academic climate where one's citation index is often considered as a marker of the value of one's work, one might reach the faulty conclusion that an article on an indigenous language with fewer citations is poor scholarship.
Question #4: Do you quantify the number of languages or the number of speakers that a linguist works with?
If a linguist studies one or two indigenous/minority languages, do you judge their knowledge of linguistics/language to be lesser than that of someone who does research on one or two well-studied languages? If so, you are privileging well-studied languages.
I'd like to specifically note that I am not a sociologist of language or a sociolinguist. There are undoubtedly others who have probably worked on this question.

Chris Berman's Big Night
Leitch
Well, the day you've been dreading has arrived: It's Chris Berman's yearly night to shine. Of all Berman's glucose-drenched warblings, he is never worse than he is tonight, during the Home Run Derby. It's the event that Berman was born to host: Nothing but spectacle, thunder and bluster. Home runs and Nutrasweet injected repeatedly, monotonously, endlessly, directly into the bloodstream, a series of whacks to the frontal lobe.
Honestly, Berman is never more in his element. The Home Run Derby, like The Wave, appeals primarily to children, and the same goes for Berman: His droning huffing seems designed to stimulate the drool synapses of kids ... very ... small ... kids. Like, preemies. He's Barney, really.
Berman, of course, has been doing these Home Run Derbys for a while, and, just to be mean, ESPN Classic has been running old Derbys all day. Because, deep down, we hate ourselves, we've been watching them all morning; we have heard the word "back" approximately four million times. After the jump, some observations of our morning of terror.
(By the way ... ATTENTION PITTSBURGH. Get thee to the park tonight and get a "You're With Me Leather" sign/shirt/mention on the air. There's never a better time for it than tonight. Heck, if CBS Sportsline is getting into it, surely you can.)
First off, it is impossible to prepare yourself for how many times Berman will say "back" tonight. He's like a child who has just learned his first word. And he never gets tired of it. You know this, but to watch it for hours in a row still shakes us to our core. Our favorite moment was, after a Jay Buhner line drive homer in 1996, Berman, chagrined, said, "I only had time for two 'Backs." Oy.
Also: Berman insists on saying the word "foul" as if he were just one number away from winning the lotto: fowwwwwwwlllll. He will not waver in this; every time is like the first time. Other signatures:
• Particularly long home runs: fuhgetaboudit!
• Balls off the foul pole: doink!
• When Jim Thome is around: Thome Can You Hear Me?, which is the biggest groaner of his we've ever heard. Honestly, what do you think the last album Berman bought was? Huey Lewis' "Sports?"
Watching these home run derbys now is like taking a time machine back to a time when everyone pretended no one was on steroids. One of Berman's common phrases in the early years was to say that ball was "juiced" out of the park. He stopped saying that around 2002, and that's probably for the best. Not that it makes up for Brady Anderson almost winning the event two years in a row. But hey, look: Sammy Sosa's doing that fist-to-chest-pound thing he does! He's so cute!
Other gruesome quotes:
• "The Big Hurt has us all on our Big Feet."
• "Does this one have the mustard to center field? Oh, my, a double dog!"
• "There's a plane up there, look out for the ball, plane!"
• "This shot is beachwood aged ... it went off the Budweiser sign in center!
• "People jump on Barry Bonds the way he JUMPED ON THAT PITCH!"
Actually, the Bonds thing was great; the year was 1996, and Berman was boasting of how he'd hung out with Barry all week. Money quote: "I spent some time with Barry this week, and he's very serious about making a run at 500 homers."
Yeah. We'll be honest: We kind of hate the Home Run Derby.
(UPDATE: We're hardly alone here.)

Sedmistřelná ikona Matky Boží je uctívaná v Pravoslavné církvi. Její svátek se koná 13. srpna (26. srpna dle gregoriánského kalendáře).

Historie

Původ
Původní ikona pochází z chrámu svatého apoštola Jana Bohoslovce v okolí Vologdy na břehu řeky Tošna. Podle legendy vlastnil ikonu rolník z Kadnikovského okresu, který ji nalezl ve zvonici kostela, kde po ní lidé chodili, majíce ji za obyčejnou dřevěnou desku. Ikona se proslavila zejména v době cholery roku 1830, avšak po roce 1917 z chrámu zmizela.

Umístění a popis
Po druhé světové válce se ikona od roku 1945 nachází v chrámu sv.Lazara ve Vologdě. Obraz byl namalován na plátně nalepeném na desce, což umožňuje jeho datování do 18. století (možná byl vyroben z neznámého obrazu ze 17. století). Matka Boží je na ikoně zobražená probodnutá sedmi meči. Ikonografie je podobná s ikonou Matky Boží Obměkčení zlých srdcí neboli Simeonovo proroctví, na kterém je Bohorodice protknutá třemi meči zprava, třemi zleva a jedním zespodu. Obě ikony jsou považovány za různorodost jednoho ikonografického typu.

Věřící prosí před ikonou o smíření nenávidících se a od zbavení se tvrdosti srdce. V římskokatolické církvi je obdobou Panna Maria Sedmibolestná.

Although the official Moto event presented the new Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus smartphones in detail, it left quite a few questions unanswered. When are the devices launching globally? How much are they going to cost outside of India? Will they be eligible for Moto Maker customization? And the list goes on. Fortunately, we're getting the blanks filled one by one. It looks like the Moto Maker page is already live in Brazil, which lets us take a look at all personalization options for the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus.
In a nutshell, the things you're allowed to pick are the color of the back cover and the metal trim around the camera. There are 8 and 5 color options respectively, with none of them being too flashy or sophisticated. All back plates are made of plastic with a soft touch, micro-textured finish. Buyers are also allowed to add an engraving to their cover and a greeting message for when the phone is turned on. That's about it.
We must also make it clear that the Moto G4 comes in black only, with a gray frame around it. The G4 Plus comes in either black or white. Or at least that's the case in Brazil. Also, it is shocking that the phones cost the equivalents of 365 and 413 US dollars respectively, but knowing how expensive electronics are in Brazil, we're not too surprised.
The gallery below contains just some of the many possible color combinations available for the Moto G4 or Moto G4 Plus. If you want to try tweaking one for yourself (while exercising your Portugese), just follow the source link at the bottom of the post.

Chayey Yom Yom
The unit consists of two parts: Shalom BaKita (in the classroom) and Shalom BaBayit uVaChutz (at home and outdoors). The first part focuses on the class, familiarizing the children with their fellow students, with the classroom environment and the objects it contains, with their daily routines and with the learning process. The second part deals with the objects and daily routines in the home, connecting them to the Jewish way of life, and also with the world surrounding the children and the various weather phenomena existing in nature. The learning is conducted through activities and concrete experiences facilitated through the Hebrew environment in the classroom.
TaL AM 1 is available digitally through iTaLAM 1.
Chagim
In Grade 1 the children learn to identify the holidays' symbols (the shofar, sukka, Four Species etc.) and become familiar with the concepts central to the High Holidays: Tshuvah, Tfilah and Tzdaka. The unit also focuses on the observance of the holiday mitzvoth in the classroom, at home and in the synagogue.
The unit focuses on two main themes: 1) The Jewish People's struggle to preserve their identity, manifested in the battle between Greek culture and the Jewish way of life. 2) The mitzvot and customs of Chanuka commemorate the triumph of the few over the many, and the miracle of lights, enabling the purification of Beit Hamikdash. The content and language of the Chanuka story reverberate and emphasize its central concept: We are committed to being Jewish! The re-enactment of the story in song and prayer, and the practice of the holiday's mitzvot and customs, offer a practical means of developing Jewish identity and creating a bond with Israel.
The children learn to identify the various parts of the tree and its value to us and to the animals. The unit compares Rosh Hashana – man's New Year, and Tu Bishvat – the trees' New Year. The students are taught which of the fruits growing in Eretz Israel compose the Seven Species, and which mitzvot and customs are observed on Tu Bishvat.
The children learn the proverb "Mishenichnas Adar Marbim BeSimcha" and its meaning, as well as the story of the holiday, represented by the four main characters appearing in the Megila. The students also learn about the mizvot and customs we perform during Purim (reading the Megila, Mishloach Manot, special Purim tzdaka, the Purim feast, Al Hanissim) and the concept Venahafoch Hu, central to the unit.
In Grade 1 Pesach is presented through the four names of the holiday, emphasizing the origins and significance of each name. The Big Book explicates these four names and their manifestations in the story of the holiday and in the customs and mitzvoth. The unit teaches the children how to practice the preparation of the classroom and home for the Seder, while the accompanying library books expose them to the experience of Biur Hametz and prepare them to ask the Ma Nishtana and to follow and participate in the Seder.
Israel and Jerusalem
In Grade 1 the children learn about our connection to Eretz Israel and Jerusalem. The identification with Am Israel on Yom Ha'atzmaut is acquired and internalized through the day's celebration; through the country's symbols: the flag, the symbol and the anthem; and through the prayer for the safety of Israel – common to the students and all of Am Israel. The children also learn about the connection each and every Jew has with Jerusalem – The Holy City and the capital of Israel.
The Shavuot unit is linked to the Pesach unit through the counting of the Omer, emphasizing the waiting period between Pesach and Shavuot – Chag Matan Torah. The learning focuses mainly on Matan Torah and the continuity from the Israelites receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai to the students' own Torah leaning in everyday life. The unit also introduces the holiday's four names, emphasizing its various characteristics.

Maryknoll, New York – June 2, 2014 – Father Lam Minh Hua of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers has traveled the world in such a short time. He began his journey in Vietnam as a young boy. Along with his parents and brother, Father Hua eventually came to America to settle in Tacoma, Washington. Later this year, he will be assigned to serve in mission in the Africa region as the newest priest of the Maryknoll Society.
Father Hua, 28, was ordained on Saturday, May 31, at the Maryknoll Society Mission Center in Ossining, New York. The Mass of Ordination at Maryknoll's Queen of Apostles Chapel was celebrated by His Excellency Archbishop Bernard Anthony Hebda, coadjutor archbishop of the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey. Maryknoll Superior General Father Edward M. Dougherty was a concelebrant along with more than 50 priests from the Maryknoll Society and other religious groups. Later in the day, Father Hua received his missionary crucifix at the Maryknoll Sending Ceremony that presents candidates to the world as Maryknoll missioners. Father Hua hopes to join three other Maryknoll priests who already serve in mission in South Sudan.
Father Hua celebrated his first Mass at Maryknoll's Queen of Apostles Chapel on Sunday, June 1. He will celebrate Mass in his home parish of St. Ann in Tacoma during the weekend of June 14-15. The Sunday, June 15, Mass at 4 p.m. will be celebrated in Vietnamese.
Blessed by Pope Pius X on June 29, 1911, the 103-year-old Maryknoll Society follows Jesus in serving the poor and others in need in 27 countries that include the U.S. As the foreign mission society of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, Maryknoll shares God's love and the Gospel in combating poverty, providing healthcare, building communities and promoting human rights. All Catholics are called to mission through baptism and confirmation, and Maryknoll's mission education outreach in parishes and schools throughout the country engages U.S. Catholics in mission through vocations, prayer, donations and as volunteers.
Father Hua was born into a Catholic family in the hamlet of LaNang on the outskirts of the eastern coastal province of Da Nang in Vietnam. One of his vivid memories from early childhood was walking to church each Sunday with his parents—Hung Minh Hua and Tu Thi Doan—a younger brother and a cousin who helped raise the boys.
His parents were rice farmers. His father had been a seminarian, and then he served during Vietnam's war on the side of South Vietnam. He was captured and held by the North Vietnamese for eight years. Father Hua's family eventually was granted permission to emigrate, and they arrived in the United States 21 years ago when the new Maryknoll priest was seven years old.
In their adopted American home of Tacoma, Father Hua and his brother, Vien, learned English in public school. Both boys became altar servers, which Father Hua considers his first ministry. He also joined the Boy Scouts, where the values of loyalty and bravery were instilled at an early age.
While both boys adapted easily to a new language and culture, the transition was more difficult for their parents. Their father's English gradually improved and he secured a job as a custodian in a middle school. Their mother worked at a clothing store. The family eventually purchased a home during 2000, when Father Hua was in high school, and that same year he became a volunteer counselor in his parish, Sacred Heart Church in Tacoma, to help others of his generation—the youth from age eight to 16. The Catholic Vietnamese community in Tacoma, which is within the Archdiocese of Seattle, transferred from Sacred Heart Church to St. Ann's Church during 2009.
It was in his local parish that Father Hua first learned about the work of missionaries in the U.S. and the work of Maryknoll around the world. Randomly, he had selected a book about a Jesuit missionary (Pierre-Jean De Smet) who worked with Native Americans during the 1840s. At that moment, Father Hua felt a longing not just for the priesthood but also for mission work. When he told his pastor, the priest walked to the vestibule of the church to find a copy of Maryknoll magazine.
Father Hua soon was in contact with the Maryknoll vocation office. As he attended Saint Xavier University in Chicago to earn a degree in philosophy with minors in history and religion, Father Hua participated in retreats and visited a Maryknoll mission in Cambodia.
Upon graduation from college during 2007, Father Hua entered Maryknoll and secured a master of divinity degree with a concentration in world mission at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
During his studies, Father Hua spent two years in Tanzania to learn Swahili. He also witnessed and participated in the work in Musoma of the late Maryknoll Father Ramon McCabe (Diocese of Winona, Minnesota). Father Hua experienced overwhelming poverty and crushing conditions that were coupled with grace and hospitality from the local people.
At a parish on the outskirts of Dar es Salaam, Maryknoll Father John Waldrep (Diocese of Baton Rouge, Louisiana) encouraged Father Hua to venture out on his own.
"There was this little village, kind of an outstation. It was far from the regular parish," said Father Hua, explaining that the rural people walked more than an hour to church. This reminded Father Hua of his childhood walk to church every Sunday. Within a week, with Father Hua's encouragement, the people cleared an overgrown plot of land in the middle of a field close to the village and they began bringing poles, tarps, sticks and wood to build their own church.
As the newest priest in the Maryknoll Society, Father Hua now is ready for his work in mission.

Global bond markets on course for worst year since 1999
Global bond markets are on course for their worst year since 1999 after a global surge in inflation battered an asset class that is typically allergic to rising prices.
The Barclays global aggregate bond index — a broad benchmark of $68tn of sovereign and corporate debt — has delivered a negative return of 4.8 per cent so far in 2021.
The decline has been largely driven by two periods of heavy selling in government debt. At the start of the year, investors dumped longer-term government bonds in the so-called "reflation trade" as they bet that the recovery from the pandemic would usher in a period of sustained growth and inflation. Then, in the autumn, shorter-dated debt took a hammering as central banks signalled they were preparing to respond to high levels of inflation with interest rate rises.
In the US, which comprises more than a third of the index and saw inflation surge to a four-decade high of 6.8 per cent in November, the 10-year US Treasury yield has risen to 1.49 per cent from 0.93 per cent at the start of the year, reflecting falling bond prices. The two-year yield has climbed to 0.65 per cent from 0.12 per cent.
"We shouldn't be too surprised that bonds are a bad investment when inflation is running at 6 per cent," said James Athey, a portfolio manager at Aberdeen Standard Investments. "The bad news for bond investors is that next year looks tricky too. We have the potential for a further shock if central banks move quicker than expected, and I don't think [riskier bonds] are particularly attractively priced."
During four decades of rising bond markets, years of negative returns have been relatively few and far between. The global aggregate index last recorded weaker returns in 1999, when it lost 5.2 per cent as investors fled bond markets for the booming dotcom-era stock market.
Despite 2021's losses and the prospect of monetary tightening next year from the Federal Reserve and other central banks, some fund managers argue it is premature to call time on the 40-year bull market in fixed income.
Longer-term yields peaked in March and have fallen back even as markets moved to price in three interest rate rises from the Fed and four from the Bank of England next year, along with a reduction in the European Central Bank's asset purchases.
The recent strength of long-dated debt is a sign that investors believe that central bankers will derail the economic recovery, or trigger a stock market sell-off, if they move to tighten policy too quickly, according to Nick Hayes, a portfolio manager at Axa Investment Managers.
"The more you raise rates today, the more they have to come back down in a couple of years time," Hayes said. "And if the equity market retraces a bit, people will suddenly like bonds again. I'm not saying we get double-digit returns next year, but the simple fact is if you look back over the decades, a negative year has tended to be followed by a positive one."

Wendy Williams Reveals She's Been 'Living in a Sober House' Due To Past 'Struggle With Cocaine'
Getty Images for Vulture Festival
Wendy Williams has been refocusing on her sobriety in secret, the daytime TV host revealed during her show on Tuesday.
Williams, 54, shared with Wendy Williams Show viewers that she's "been living in a sober house." She previously struggled with cocaine, she said in a candid moment on the typically light-hearted show. Williams told fans she never sought treatment for her drug use before, and felt it was time to get some help. The gossip show host said on Tuesday that husband Kevin Hunter was the only person who knew she was going to treatment.
"I have been living in a sober house. ... You know I've had a struggle with cocaine in the past," she said on the show. "I never went to a place to get treatment ... there are people in your family, it might be you ... I want you to know more of the story," Williams revealed.
She went on to say, "Only Kevin knows about this. Not my parents, nobody. Nobody knew because I look so glamorous out here. I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to a home that I live in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family."
Williams shared a few details about the facility, sharing with fans that it's "doors locked by 10 p.m. lights out by 10 p.m., so I go to my room and stare at the ceiling and fall asleep to come here and see you." She called the revelation her "truth."
Until March 4, Williams had been absent from her daytime talk show since January. She attributed the break from the show to a fractured shoulder, according to People, and her on-going battle with Grave's disease. She has been open about her drug use in the past, telling People that she was addicted to cocaine for roughly 10 years at the start of her career.
"Drugs were a demon I had to overcome," she said in 2014.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight about her addiction, Williams said she "was a functioning addict." She claimed she would always "report to work on time," adding that her bosses knew she was struggling, but weren't overly worried. Williams said she "was making ratings," so she wouldn't be fired.
"I was a functioning addict," she said. "I report to work on time, and I'd walk in and all my co-workers, including my bosses, would know but since I would have my headphones on and walk in the studio and [they] wouldn't fire me because I was making ratings."
Williams added, "A functioning addict has several alarm clocks, you're organized. It's a miracle I was able to stop."
She did not provide any information about when she intended to leave the facility.

Ad Spotlight: Katie Grosvenor, Chief Customer Engagement & Growth Officer, GroupM
Welcome to the Ad Spotlight series where we hear from a different guest from the industry each month to get an insight into the landscape of advertising as well as their own personal experiences.
Our guest this month is Katie Grosvenor. After Katie rejoined GroupM in 2021 as Chief Customer Engagement & Growth Officer from Integral Ad Science.
With extensive experience in media, technology, new business and client relationships, who better to speak to about the direction of the industry.
Q: Why did you choose a career in advertising?
A: For as long as I can remember I've loved television, movies, music videos (Take On Me, of course) and adverts, and had always seen advertising as a route to pursue if film and music video fame didn't come my way.
After a short-lived career working for a University, I packed a bag and came to London where a recruiter told me media would be a good fit. She gave me a fiver and sent me off in a cab in the direction of MediaCom. Getting a job in the '00s was a bit different.
I've loved the direction my career and the industry have taken ever since. Media is such a creative space and transforming so fast. There's particularly a lot of developments in the TV industry right now. Businesses like Finecast are pushing the boundaries.
Q: What are the biggest challenges facing the advertising industry right now?
A: Retaining talent is one of the biggest challenges the industry faces, but also the biggest opportunity.
The last two years have been tough. There has been a 41% increase in people contacting NABS, the wellbeing charity for people in advertising, since the pandemic and we saw many people choosing to leave for new careers, or in some cases, to avoid burnout. The changing work landscape has given people time to reflect on what they want to do, where they want to go, and how they want to work.
The good thing is people now have options. So, as an industry, the challenge becomes how we can enable people to grow beyond their career, to establish an inclusive environment for people to be creative and fulfilled without compromising their personal lives. And importantly, with more choice than ever, how the industry can collaborate in making it more attractive and a destination place to work.
Q: Sum up the future of advertising in 3 words…
A: Responsibility– The last 24 months have further highlighted the impact of advertising within society, and we recognise the industry's collective power has to be a force for positive change. Businesses have started to consider their role in developing, creating and implementing work in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
Accessibility – Whilst change isn't happening quick enough, I do think the industry has started to make progress on broadening our talent pool and recruiting talent from previously overlooked places. Within our organisation we remove biases and barriers for career progression. People should no longer have to 'cover' to be successful or fulfilled.
Adaptability – The pandemic taught us just how good we are at adapting and how resilient we are – as humans and as an industry. We found ways to innovate to our situation, be that how we worked, communicated with our loved ones, or continued running businesses. Some of our behaviours have fundamentally changed. According to the Wunderman Thompson report 85,000 UK businesses launched or joined online marketplaces in 2020, a phenomenal sign of companies quickly recognising opportunities to grow as consumer behaviors change.
And if I could have a fourth, just hugely exciting.
Q: What is your biggest career highlight?
A: All the opportunities I've been given, or taken, to learn and develop have been highlights, where I've really had to push through what I thought was possible of myself. In 2017, I left pretty much the only place I'd worked in my adult life for the tech world because I knew there were significant areas I had to learn about to have a more rounded perspective of our world. I pulled the rug out from under myself to test myself. Doing that, seeing how different companies work, buyers, sellers, brands and addressing some of my gaps enabled me to come back with a wider perspective of what's required in our ever-changing industry.
Q:…and biggest regret?
A: Taking too long to figure out the most optimal way of working to maintain energy and creativity. Years of being 'always on' meant I didn't stop to notice when and how I worked best. It took lockdown to appreciate the 'Flow' of my energy and what it took to be most productive, and most fulfilled. I now recognise when I need to step away from the laptop and find an environment where I can plan and be creative. It is sad that it took this seismic change over the past two years to appreciate how much more productive we can all be when given the freedom to work in a way that suits us best.
Q: What is your favourite advert?
A: I'm a child of the '80s so it has to be the Secret Lemonade Drinker. Who doesn't appreciate sneaking down for a glass of lemonade in the middle of the night. I even have similar glasses on as the man in the ad as we speak.
Let's change gears and pick your brains on your area of expertise – engagement and growth
Q: What are the 3 must haves for securing and nurturing new business and customers?
A: 1) Don't go into that initial meeting so focused on what you want to say that you don't listen to what the client is saying.
2) Invest time in understanding the challenges and ambitions in equal measure for each project, client, or campaign.
3) Whether a customer-agency relationship or one with a supplier, things go wrong when there are misaligned expectations of one another. Have the conversation at the beginning about how you are going to show up for one another.
Q: How does a company become more customer-driven?
A: Creating a customer-centric culture where everyone understands they are responsible for delivering for client satisfaction regardless of the department they work in. You don't need to be customer-facing for that culture to be there, but it requires breaking down silos and cross-team collaboration.
One of the biggest mistakes companies make is reorientating their business without asking about their customer needs first. Always stop to think, 'Does this fit the needs of our customers?'. 'Does it work with the way they work?'. When you do introduce changes, keep customers updated with the process and they'll be more receptive to it.
Q: What are the dos and don'ts for building company culture and inclusion?
A: The biggest mistake you can make is not demonstrating the values you profess to have. When there is a connection between what a company says, and what it does, you're going to trust the business and respect the people you work for.
Creating psychological safety is another key area. Making sure people feel empowered to be themselves and confident to speak up without being judged or talked over. This is more important than ever as the industry tackles the challenges surrounding retaining talent.


In today's world the "traditional family" of a man, woman and their 2.5 children is becoming a lot less common. The term "blended family" has been coined to describe multiple families that are brought together and integrated into each other. A blended family can mean that one or both parents bring children from a previous relationship to the family. It may also mean that while there are children from a previous relationship, some of the children are children of that union. Step-siblings, half-siblings, and adopted children are becoming the norm.
A blended family can mean great challenges for individuals who do not plan or who do not update their plans. Under the law of intestacy (dying without an estate plan), the assets of an individual go outright to their spouse UNLESS the children of the marriage are not biological or adopted by both parents. Many times in divorce situations the children brought to the new marriage by one spouse are not adopted by the other (perhaps because the biological parent is still involved, or perhaps because the new union happened after the child turned 18). In these instances, per the law of intestacy, the couple's assets are split – half going to the spouse and half going to the deceased person's children. Some people may be agreeable to this split – wanting their assets divided equally between their spouse and their children. Some people are under the misconception that marriage means when they pass away all of their assets will go to their spouse. In addition, depending on the age of the children when the first spouse dies, following the laws of intestacy may mean that the assets of the individual go to minor children.
Along the same realm of the blended family, we are also seeing a lot more second marriages, generally speaking. The fact is that people are living longer, and if a spouse dies early, the surviving spouse has a considerable amount of time to "start over" with someone new. Whether they decided to actually get married is another question. They may elect not to get married for planning purposes (what if one or the other goes into a nursing home?), or they may elect not to get married simply for personal reasons (what would the kids think if they got remarried?). Again, per the laws of intestacy, if the couple is not married, upon their death they do not provide for the surviving partner, and if they are married but they have children from a previous relationship, the assets will be split between the new spouse and those children (whether that was their intention or not).
So, what does this mean for estate planning purposes? It means that if you have a blended family or a second marriage or both, you should really consider putting your wishes into writing. You may want to have all of your assets go to your spouse (regardless of whether you have children from a previous relationship) or you may want to have all of your assets go to your children (and bypass your spouse completely). You may also want to provide for your spouse's children even though you have not legally adopted them. These are all things to consider, and to put in writing. A well drafted will, trust, and marital property agreement are necessary to ensure that today's blended families are well provided for even after death.

Power Allows the person to create as many shadow copies of themselves as they want. These shadows can be manipulated to serve as weapons or simple copies.
The Fanto Fanto no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the user the ability to create shadow copies of themselves. It was eaten by Hiruma, a Captain of the Hitoya island Marine Base.
The Fanto Fanto no Mi takes the shape of a Papaya and is gray in color with purple ripples spreading from various points on it.
The main and most significant strength of the fruit is the ability to create shadow copies of an unlimited number and then manipulate them to the will of the user. In Hiruma's case, he will absorb the clones into a flintlock pistol or musket and use them as ammunition to create phantom bullets while firing real ones at the same time in order to strike the enemy with fatal blows when they get distracted by the fakes. The clones also have no limit to how far they can travel from the original, so they are useful for espionage and spying missions.
The greatest weakness to the Fanto Fanto no Mi is the fact that none of the copies are real and can easily be dispelled with a simple attack. Despite their vast quantities, they will pose no threat to the opponent and serve only to distract them from the real Hiruma when he comes in to attack. The standard weaknesses of a Devil Fruit apply just as every one of its own kind.
The fruit does not grant any augment to the strength or speed of the user and only serves to support them in sneak attacks and for missions that require spying and espionage.
Fantomu Shuuto (Phantom Shot): Creating either one or many clones, Hiruma will cause them to dissolve into his gun and take the form of a bullet, whether it be in his pistol or musket, and he will fire them out rapidly along with the real bullet, causing confusion for the enemy and most likely leading to injury when they cannot differentiate between the real and fake bullets.
Fantomu Bunshin (Phantom Clone): This is the technique that Hiruma uses to create his phantom clones. They can be dispatched with one hit and cannot attack on their own, only serving to confuse the enemy or perform spying and espionage missions.
Fantomu Kekkai (Phantom Barrier): In a suicide move, the phantom clones will all jump in front of an attack launched at Hiruma to take the damage while he remains unscathed. It also his means of escaping from a dangerous situation if he needs to.
Fantomu Wana (Phantom Trap): Hiruma creates shadows on the ground from his phantom clones that form a circle and they attack the enemy when they happen to set foot in them. The clones become solid and tangible as well as a powerful binding, making it difficult to break out. It has been revealed that the phantoms can only remain tangible so long as Hiruma's strength of will holds out to do so and it exerts a great deal of his mental stamina to do so, especially in larger numbers.
The Fanto Fanto no Mi Devil Fruit, and this article were created by Subrosian.
The Fanto Fanto no Mi was originally meant to be a Logia-type using the element of Darkness, but it was subsequently changed, not as a cause due to Blackbeard's Yami Yami no Mi.
