Investigative reporter Craig Rivera was one of several people (and the only on-air talent) let go from "Inside Edition" this past Monday in a cost-cutting move.
Rivera, the brother of Geraldo Rivera, was given his walking papers along with several other behind-the-scenes staffers.
"King World does not discuss personnel issues," a company spokesperson said.
It's been nearly seven years since O.J. Simpson was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman – and O.J. prosecutor Christopher Darden is still feeling the fallout from Simpson's subsequent trial.
Darden, now a host of "Power of Attorney," was out in a trendy L.A. bar the other night when he was accosted by a medical doctor – who was certain that Nicole was alive long after the coroner pronounced the time of death.
The doctor was demanding that Darden release Nicole's phone records to see when the she made her final phone call – and was getting physical with Darden, who engaged in a screaming match with the doctor before walking away.
There's lots of love in the air between usually combative competitors Ch. 7 and Ch. 4.
That's because Ch. 7 helicopter reporter Shannon Sohn and Ch. 4 copter reporter Dan Rice will be married on May 12.
The copter couple, who work different shifts (Dan in the a.m. for "Today in New York," Shannon in the afternoon) first met several years ago, when Dan was working at Metro Traffic.
It was while he was at Ch. 2 (1997-99) that Rice proposed to Sohn – with a little help from Ira Joe Fisher, Cindy Hsu and Kendra Farn. Rice had taken Sohn back to the spot where they first met and videotaped the occasion – which Fisher, et al. played on the air.

Filipe Cortez
Constança Babo
Filipe Cortez is an artist whose plastic abilities are unusual and unique. The reinterpretation of the canvases and the plethora of material that he uses implies a boundless, enlarged and plural understating of the artistic creation. He explores the fields of painting, drawing, sculpture and, especially, installation, through experimental forms before which one cannot remain indifferent.
This creative and productive uniqueness does not go unnoticed, and he has already been, more than once, awarded and part of artistic residencies, the first of which lasted six months, in New York, in Residency Unlimited and, subsequently, he spent two months in Taipei under the shelter of STUPIN.ORG (TKG + Projects), which allowed him to do some networking to conduct exhibitions in both cities. In the capital of Taiwan, he held a solo exhibition, where a collector bought five pieces, which, in the past month of April, were exhibited in a collective endeavour.
However, Oporto is the place where the vast majority of his creation is materialized, in a central area of the city, where his studio is located. This is the room where his plastic endeavours and expressions meet each other, uniting and developing themselves, a place that is as valuable as the objects themselves, which acquire their lives in that nest.
Constança Babo – Filipe, your work seems to be divided into series of canvases and diversified installations, in which you jumble different materials and shapes. There is something fundamentally distinct between the several practices and materials that you're using. Do you feel that, to some extent, these are two working methods, or are they a research, a quest and an expression identical in its essence?
Filipe Cortez – For me, everything stems from the very same principle. I don't make any distinction between the different work methods. They emerge in a natural way, from one work to another, complementing thought points or concepts. Deep down, all these different techniques orbit around the same ideals.
Layer on layer, history on history, construction and deconstruction of different times. In the end, they all merge in this idea of memory and ephemerality.
Concept-wise, the artist is particularly interested in the memory of the buildings, something that he acknowledges as an element since his childhood. At that time, in his imagination, the stories of the spaces that the visited started to unfurl, especially when they were abandoned. Today, recurrently, that same restlessness takes his thought as a prisoner, like when he was in New York. He tells that while he was there, in a subway station, he became aware of the several layers of paint that revealed themselves in the cracks of the pillars, painted on top of each other, each one with their own time, history, experiences.
CB – You explore the memory and the time of the buildings, particularly the spaces and environments that you dwell on, those that you know and experience. When you conceive a work to present in a given city and room, is their urbanism and architecture aesthetics your starting point or source of inspiration?
FC – It is as if I moved from the shadow into the light. From the oblivion to the romantic idea of a memory. The starting point is the forgotten spaces, abandoned houses or neighbourhoods, invisible to those who pass by them on a daily basis.
In New York, I worked in one of the oldest Manhattan neighbourhoods, and where the city's port history begins. In Taipei, on the other hand, it was an entire block, closed and abandoned, with strong commercial interests, in a fierce transformation that the city experiences with its modernization; without leaving much space to keep the memory or the roots of the city.
When these projects are exhibited, it is as if I was bringing to light (of an exhibition room) the stories and memories of the city, lost and forgotten in time.
Near the end of the year, Filipe Cortez will present his most recent work in New York, part of a collective with other Portuguese artists, organized by Sérgio Parreira and, on the horizon, several other exhibitions are expected to occur, in locations as close as Oporto, and as far as Hong Kong. In all of them, surely, paintings or interventions with particularly striking and unusual titles will be found, all one of a kind. We recall Disenchantments, Dissection or Contamination, some of them associated not only with the homonymous works, but also with the relationship that they establish with the spectator. The latter is, in fact, contaminated, intercepted, questioned and inevitably marked when watching this singular work. If Filipe Cortez works the memory, the spectator's is also the place where his work finds lodge, in a unique and timeless manner.

Current economic and social forces are creating a society with less equality, justice and opportunity for all but the privileged few. Social workers are called upon by their code of ethics to counteract these trends and actively work to achieve social justice. Hoefer's empirically-based, step-by-step approach demonstrates how to integrate advocacy for social justice into everyday social work practice. The book shows through anecdotes, case studies, examples, and the author's own personal experiences, exactly how advocacy can be conducted with successful outcomes. Each chapter builds upon the previous to provide a concise yet detailed blueprint for conducting successful advocacy. The previous two editions of this book have been used and admired by professors and students alike. Students value its clarity and praise the book for opening their eyes to what they often believed was "the scary and bad" world of politics and policy. After reading the book, they are motivated to become advocates for social justice because they understand how to do so. If you want to empower your students to effect changes in laws, regulations, and other types of policy at all levels, you will find this text the perfect resource to do so.
An Experiential Approach to Group Work is not your typical group work text! Using dozens of exercises that build practice-tested skills, the authors' approach is in perfect step with CSWE's competence-based education requirements. The book is organized into three sections-the first addresses stages of group practice, the second looks at major types of groups, and the final section looks at examples of group work practice with special populations.
In this book, you will find a compelling focus on "policy advocacy" - policy practice geared toward helping oppressed, stigmatized, or powerless outgroups, including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, women, children, gay men and lesbians, and people with disabilities. From agenda setting, problem analysis, and proposal writing to policy enactment, implementation, and assessment, you'll develop the skills you need to promote change in social welfare policy.
The Costs of Courage is one of the very few comprehensive volumes that shed a light on the needs of US military personnel and their families. The authors introduce social workers and other helping professionals to the dynamic warrior culture of the US military and their families and provides practitioners with the cultural competence necessary to successfully interact with members of this culture. This book includes best practices and eclectic approaches that encourage social workers and other mental health professionals to better consider the needs of our military and their families. The text contains the most up-to-date subject matter on social work with military personnel and their families, including thorough descriptions of major conditions suffered by members of the warrior culture in the past and present. Relevant topics such as suicide, sexual assault, veteran issues, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, are discussed. The content is accented with a glossary of commonly used military terms and acronyms.
This text for generalist practice courses is also available with a treasure trove of related materials for use in a two or three-course practice sequence.?

Pope Urges IMF, W'Bank to Cut Poor Nations' Debts
Pope Francis yesterday urged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to cut the debt burden of poor countries hit by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and give their governments a greater say in global-decision-making.
In a letter to the participants of the IMF and World Bank's annual spring meeting, the pope said the pandemic had forced the world to come to terms with interrelated socio-economic, ecological, and political crises.
This is coming as the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has told the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) via Video-conference that the global oil market was on the verge of collapse before its intervention to stabilise it.
The Pope called for a new "global plan" that "necessarily means giving poorer and less developed nations an effective share in decision-making and facilitating access to the international market."
In the letter, the pope noted that a spirit of global solidarity demands at the least a significant reduction in the debt burden of the poorest nations, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic.
"The notion of recovery cannot be content to a return to an unequal and unsustainable model of economic and social life, where a tiny minority of the world's population owns half of its wealth," the pontiff said in the letter to the world bodies.
Financial chiefs of the group of 20 large economies on Wednesday extended a suspension of debt servicing costs for developing countries but fell short of cancelling debt or expanding debt relief as requested by non-profit organisations.
"Financial markets need to be underpinned by laws and regulations that ensure they work for the common good," the pope said.
He also called for what he described as "justly financed vaccine solidarity."
He added: "We cannot allow the law of the marketplace to take precedence over the law of love and the health of all."
With inoculation campaigns in poor African countries lagging far behind those of the rich world, particularly the United States and Britain, the pope further appealed to political and business leaders to provide "vaccines for all, especially for the most vulnerable and needy."
"It is my hope that in these days, your formal deliberations and your personal encounters will bear much fruit for the discernment of wise solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable future. A future where finance is at the service of the common good, where the vulnerable and the marginalised are placed at the centre," he said.
Meanwhile, in a statement by OPEC to the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) via Video-conference, the cartel said that the global oil market was on the verge of collapse before its intervention to stabilise it.
Describing the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the most severe crises in recent history, OPEC noted that in 2020, countries around the world virtually shut down, imposed travel restrictions and mandated social-distancing measures.
It stated these measures are still necessary in some regions to combat new waves of infections and virus mutations, stressing that recovery to pre-pandemic levels is not yet projected for 2021.
Following an estimated decline of 3.5 per cent in 2020, OPEC reiterated that its forecast for global economic growth remains 5.4 per cent in 2021, saying that measures to stem the spread of COVID-19 not only severely affected global economic growth, they also caused a historic demand shock in the oil market, which led to extreme volatility in oil prices.
It explained that the impact of the lockdown measures have disproportionally affected mobility and thereby fuel demand, with world oil demand now estimated by the secretariat to have contracted by a very significant 9.5 mb/d in 2020 and is forecast to grow by around 6.0 mb/d in 2021.
Similarly, it disclosed that non-OPEC supply suffered from the unprecedented events and is estimated to have declined by around 2.5 mb/d in 2020, while it is forecast to grow by around 1 mb/d in 2021.
"In response to the global crisis and the massive oil demand contraction, OPEC and 10 non-OPEC participating countries under the 'Declaration of Cooperation (DoC) acted swiftly and decisively to contribute to more stability in the oil market, by voluntarily adjusting production.
"These are the largest and longest in duration in the history of the oil industry, lasting until well into 2022. These joint efforts succeeded in driving down the unprecedentedly high commercial oil inventories," OPEC said.
OPEC reaffirmed its commitment to supporting oil market stability for the mutual benefit of consuming and producing nations and contributing significantly to addressing the common challenges to the global economy.
President Muhammadu Buhari Sends Heartfelt letter to King of Jordan
Dangote, Flour Mills and BUA at War over New Sugar Refinery


Moses has reached the end of his life. He is not allowed to enter the Promised Land, but God allows him to see the land. He took Moses up on Mount Nebo and showed him the entire Promised Land. He saw the north and south boundaries and the east and west boundaries. And then he dies. The Bible says that no one knows exactly where is was buried but it was in the land of Moab.
Then we are given a life snapshot look at Moses. "He was 120 years old when he died yet his eyesight was undimmed and his vigor unabated." God kept him young.
Joshua tells the people how they will recognize God's presence with them and it would be through the Ark of the Covenant. They were going to start their journey into the Promised Land. This is a new generation. They were not living when they left Egypt. They heard the stories of crossing the Red Sea but they were stories not their own experience. They are now going to cross the Jordan River. Joshua told them that when the priests take the Ark of the Covenant and their feet enter the water, God will hold back the water so that they can cross over on dry ground just as their parents crossed through the Red Sea on dry ground.
The differences in the two stories is that Moses lifted his arms and the waters parted. Even though God actually moved the waters, Moses was the person God used. This time Joshua tells them that when the Ark of the Covenant is carried to the water it will cause the waters to part. Everyone knew the Ark was the visual picture of God. There would be no claim of any human element in the parting of the Jordan River. Their entry into the Promised Land is a supernatural event.

Deacon John
Born in New Orleans in 1941, Deacon Johns still performs with his band the Ivories. Named "Deacon" by a fellow band member early on, he did not like the nickname initially as he was worried it would confuse clubs where he wanted to get booked, having them assume he was primarily a gospel singer. But with the urging of music promoters, he kept the nickname.
Deacon John began his career playing with various blues and R&B bands in New Orleans, including Earl King's band. He was a regular fixture at the famous musicians' hangout, Joe's Cozy Corner. Deacon John was also known for his versatility – not only could he play guitar, but he was also skilled on the piano, drums, and saxophone.
In addition to performing, Deacon John has produced albums for multiple artists including Snooks Eaglin and Deacon John's Jump Blues. He has worked with notable musicians such as Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. Deacon John even had a guest appearance in HBO's hit show Treme, where he performed with songwriter Elvis Costello.
Deacon John's music has been recognized and celebrated by the Blues Foundation, who presented him with the Keeping the Blues Alive Award in 2014. Deacon John continues to perform and share his love for blues music with audiences all over the world. His talent and passion have solidified his place in New Orleans' musical history as a true blues legend.

Landmark deal to protect 2400ha between Gympie and Noosa
by Shelley Strachan
7th Nov 2018 1:32 PM | Updated: 1:58 PM
VITAL koala habitat in the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions will be expanded, with 2400ha of land being protected through a partnership with the State Government, Noosa Shire Council, Noosa Parks Association and HQPlantations.
Making the announcement in Noosa today, Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said the partnership was the first of its kind in Queensland.
Boreen Point is a haven for campers and boating enthusiasts around Christmas time. It's also the gateway to the Noosa Everglades and the Great Sandy National Park. Contributed
"This land is core koala habitat and our partnership will go a long way to protect koala populations in the Noosa area," Ms Enoch said.
"This $3.5 million investment to retire the land from plantation forestry for conservation purposes is being jointly funded by the Department of Environment and Science (DES), Noosa Shire Council and Noosa Parks Association.

"The intention is that the land will eventually be gazetted as National Park to make a significant contribution to growing koala populations in the Noosa Shire area."
Ms Enoch said the area - encompassing Yurol and Ringtail State Forests - was also home to 25 threatened and three nearly threatened species, including the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly, the Mary River Cod and the giant barred frog.
"As the native forests in this area are re-established, this land will become core habitat for koalas," Ms Enoch said.
Ms Enoch said the Palaszczuk Government was committed to protecting koalas and this partnership came in addition to the Government's new Koala Conservation Strategy.
Great Sandy National Park Tourism Sunshine Coast
"Earlier this year we accepted all of the recommendations from the Koala Expert Panel report to better address threats to koalas, habitat protection and habitat restoration in south east Queensland," she said,
"We need to work together to protect our koalas. That means all levels of government, industry, the community, and not-for-profit organisations focusing their energy and resources on actions that will make a difference on the ground."
Ms Enoch thanked Noosa Council and the Noosa Parks Association, who brought the idea of this partnership to the Queensland Government eighteen months ago.
"I am thrilled that we can make it happen," Ms Enoch said. "I encourage other local governments to follow Noosa Shire Council's lead in developing proposals like this."
Noosa Shire Mayor Tony Wellington said the project was a big win for koalas, the Noosa community and the people of Queensland"Noosa Council is pleased to be able to work with the State Government, Noosa Parks Association and HQPlantations Pty Ltd to deliver this project," Mr Wellington said.

"This novel partnership deal not only secured more land for conservation purposes, it created an extensive wildlife corridor connecting the Noosa hinterland with the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park.
"As well as benefitting koalas and many other plant and animal species, this project will also be an asset to tourism and the local economy.
"Through this project, HQPlantations are proving themselves to be wonderful corporate citizens, and our local community environment organisation, the Noosa Parks Association, are once again demonstrating their capacity to conceptualise long-term goals."
Brento Mansfield was amazed when he caught and quickly released this protected Mary River Cod. Contributed
Noosa Parks Association President Michael Gloster said the association had enjoyed working with the State, Noosa Council and HPQPlantations to reach the agreement.
"The association's half-century quest for a Noosa to Tewantin to Cooloola National Park is now well within reach," Mr Gloster said.
"This is a win for threatened species including koalas, a win for those who enjoy the recreational benefits of nature, and a win for nature-based tourism."

Le Württemberger Hof est un groupe parlementaire, dit  en allemand, du parlement de Francfort. Il est créé en .
Comme les autres fractions de l'assemblée nationale, son nom provient du lieu de rencontre de ses différents membres à Francfort-sur-le-Main.

Le  cherche à créer une monarchie parlementaire dotée d'une assemblée nationale disposant de nombreux pouvoirs.
Au niveau de l'organisation du pays, il est favorable à un État fédéral s'étendant sur la confédération germanique avec l'empire d'Autriche. Cette alternative est appelée solution grande-allemande.
Ses membres pensent que le gouvernement fédéral doit être indépendant du parlement et que la constitution fédérale ne doit pas être forcément compatible avec les constitutions des différents États membres.

Les membres les plus connus de la fraction sont : Carl Mittermaier, qui a présidé le pré-parlement notamment, Biedermann, Fallmerayer, Giskra, , Laube, , Vischer, Wuttke,  et .

Elle représente environ 6 % de l'assemblée. Botzenhart parle lui de 100 députés.

I've made fudge a few times with excellent results. Today, I've made it three times and it's not coming out. It's sort of separating on me when I stir in the chocolate. I'm gonna go broke on this endeavor.
Anyone know what makes it separate? Too much stirring? Too high heat? I wanted to bring some to my hubby's aunt's house tomorrow. I still have the time and ingredients to make another batch. I may have to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house, but I made a trip to the store for more ingredients.
One other time I made it I had problems, but got it to work on the third time. I can tell as soon as it goes bad. Maybe I am stirring too much.
i eagerly await your advice/suggestions.
1. Heat the marshmallow, sugar, butter, salt and evaporated milk over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 min stirring constantly.
2. Stir in the chocolate. Once chocolate has melted, stir in the vanilla.
3. Pour into a lined 8x8 square pan (which I set up at the outset). And put in fridge for 2 hrs til set.
Weird. I am not a fudge maker so I don't have an informed opinion here. I know that 5 minutes would be WAY too long in my kitchen. Do you test it at all? Drip any of the mixture into ice water to see if it is at soft ball stage or anything like that?
I'm so damn compulsive when it comes to things like this. I was making it while you responded and the same thing. I must be overheating hte mixture. THough I have no clue why it worked previous times.
Anyway........thanks. I can't believe i messed it up 4x. What a waste.
And, I was already a lousy day! I can literally say "OH FUDGE".
I have seen a wonderful fudge recipe on here somewhere....I will search and then post the link for you.
Try that Laurie. There are some AWESOME recipes in there and Audeo gives some excellent advice.
If you want a truly easy fudge recipe let me know. Mine is the cheating condensed milk one so I hesitate to post the recipe. It is truly foolproof though.
Runningduo, the problem in your recipe is in combining the marshmallow cream to the milk and sugar! Marshmallow creme, which is, in essence, a fondant, gets really ticked off when you do that!
Combine the butter, sugar, evaporated milk and salt in a heavy saucepan. Over medium heat, bring to a full boil and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the milk mixture from the heat and add the marshmallow cream, the chocolate chips, and everything else. Now stir the stuff until the marshmallow and chocolate are melted and the mixture is well blended, then pour into your pan and allow to cool at room temp.
This recipe ought to make some outstanding fudge! I'm so sorry to hear of your frustrations!!!
Thanks for your input. I made a 5th batch, adding the marshmallow at the end.......same thing. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'm wondering.......maybe I'm not cooking the mixture long enough. When do you start the counting.......when it's really really boiling or when the bubbles first come to the surface? I'm starting when a lot of bubbles are at the surface, but it's not going "full throtle".
Also, when the mixture is coming up to a boil, should i stir the mixture. And, if so, how frequently.
p.s. I have spent about $10 on chocolate chips (luckily with the holidays, it's been on sale), $3 on marshmallows and/or marshmallow (i actually use marshmallows instead of the creme-i know that's not the culprit b/c I used them when the fudge was successful), about $1.75 on butter, $3 on evaporated milk. It's been an expensive and frustrating day. Maybe I'll try one final batch in the morning.
Runningduo, if you have the courage and pantry left, do the following.
1. Throw out your recipe.
Okay...a sideline: Evaporated milk is precisely that! Is has had a great deal of the water evaporated from it, which is why this type of fudge cooks so quickly. It should reach the soft ball stage in the 5 minutes of boiling. Not knowing what your weather is...either clip on a candy thermometer/digital and stop cooking when it reaches 238 degrees, or get a clear glass of cold tap water and let a drop of the milk mixture fall into the water. If it forms a ball GREAT! Further, when you touch the "ball" of syrup and it is soft, FANTASTIC!
At this point, remove from heat and dump in the chocolate and vanilla. Stir until combined. Pour into pan.
Egads! What a humbling evening!
Runningduo, I'm so sorry that I didn't catch the sugar discrepancy beforehand. I really think you will be just fine now.
After 6 (SIX, set, seis) batches, I am ready to retire my recipe. Yes, yes, I tried it again, letting it boil what i thought was longer and more powerfully and still.
I'll try yours. I need more evaporated milk. I had one can, then bought two more and the 6 batches wiped out the 3 cans. Luckily the chips (ghiardelli) are on sale for $2. I'll go and get more tomorrow.....and more evap milk.
In your recipe, unless I'm overlooking it, when do you add the marshmallow.....with the chips? if it's there, i'm sorry......i've been making fudge on and off for the past 6.5 hrs. LOL.
I live in LA where it's relatively dry, so humidity shouldn't be a factor.
I'm off to bed and it's only 8:35pm. I wish i had known the other uses for failed fudge......i've thrown out all but one batch of the fudge.

Q: weird linker error using templates with std::unique_ptr
Possible Duplicate:
Why can templates only be implemented in the header file?

I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days now.
Here's the linker error I'm getting:
main.cpp:17: undefined reference to `std::unique_ptr<Foo, std::default_delete<Foo> > Bar::make_unique_pointer<Foo>()'

The code below demonstrates the issue I'm having.
Bar.h
class Bar {
public:
    template <class T>
    std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique_pointer();
};

Bar.cpp
#include "Bar.h"

template <class T>
std::unique_ptr<T> Bar::make_unique_pointer() {
    return std::unique_ptr<T>(new T());
}

main.cpp
#include "Bar.h"

struct Foo {};

int main() {
    Bar bar;
    auto p = bar.make_unique_pointer<Foo>();
    return 0;
}

However if I define the function inline, it works
class Bar {
public:
    template <class T>
    std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique_pointer() {
        return std::unique_ptr<T>(new T());
    }
};

Or if I put the definition in main.cpp or even in Bar.h it will compile fine.
I only get the linker error when they're in separate files :/

A: Function templates must be implemented in the same file in which they are created. See this answer for why.

Oren Moverman
Oklahoma film to premiere at Sundance Film Festival
Enid News and EagleDecember 17, 2017
ENID, Okla. (AP) — The Paul Dano-directed movie "Wildlife" filmed in the Enid area has been selected for the Sundance Film Festival, Visit Enid Director Marcy Jarrett said.
The renowned film festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah from Jan. 18 through Jan. 28, according to the Sundance Institute.
"Wildlife," which stars Carey Mulligan, Ed Oxenbould, Bill Camp and Jake Gyllenhaal, will world premiere at Sundance, the Enid News and Eagle reported.
Debuting director Dano is also credited as a screenwriter with Zoe Kazan for the film, which was produced by Andrew Duncan, Alex Saks, Oren Moverman, Ann Ruark, Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker.
The independent film produced by June Pictures follows a boy as he watches his parents' marriage fall apart after his mother finds another man.
Based on the novel by Richard Ford, the portrait of a family in crisis is set in Montana in 1960. However, a significant portion was filmed in the Enid area with local extras.
"Because of the time of year we are shooting, Montana wasn't going to be a tenable location through December because of snow," said June Pictures President Alex Saks in October 2016. "We wanted a place that had a similar look and feel, so we hired a really experienced location scout and he brought us to a few different places in Oklahoma. Enid is really where the director and the rest of the team felt the movie could live and breathe."
For the 2018 Sundance festival, 110 feature-length films were selected, representing 29 countries and 47 first-time filmmakers, including 30 in competition. These films were selected from 13,468 submissions including 3,901 feature-length films and 8,740 short films. Of the feature film submissions, 1,799 were from the U.S. and 2,102 were international. One-hundred feature films at the Festival will be world premieres.
"The work of independent storytellers can challenge and possibly change culture, illuminating our world's imperfections and possibilities," said Robert Redford, president and founder of Sundance Institute. "This year's festival is full of artfully-told stories that provoke thought, drive empathy and allow the audience to connect, in deeply personal ways, to the universal human experience."

Home communities news MUST READ:PDP Blasts Kogi state Governor,Bello Over Public Holiday
MUST READ:PDP Blasts Kogi state Governor,Bello Over Public Holiday
Olawoyin Olumide August 21, 2017 communities, news,
The Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state has described as an aberration, the public holiday declared by the government in honour of the return of President Mohammadu Buhari.
The party in a statement by the Director Research and Documentation, Achadu Dicson, lamented that while it is an acknowledged fact that governance in the state had drifted in the last 17 months, declaring a public holiday in the state is the height of lack and loss of ideas.
Achadu said while governance in the state had been brought to its lowest ebb, with workers owed salaries and pensions for 17 months, the heavy indebtedness by the state to commercial banks to the tune of N35billion was worrisome.
The party said the state has nothing to show in terms of infrastructure for the high indebtedness.
While noting that as a party, the PDP shared in the health recovery of Mr President, and has always joined in the prayers for his quick recovery, loss of man hour with the declaration of a public holiday was an indication that the state had reached the lowest ebb in terms of governance.
The statement read, "The recent government action shows that we have entered a one chance administration in which the ship of state is heading to no direction."
The PDP in the statement said rather than devote energy to pray for Mr President, citizens should pray for God to heal Kogi state, noting that the state has lost focus, and is losing the decency of comity of serious States in the country.

For most teachers facing the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards, quality professional development will likely play an integral role in making instructional changes. A new California initiative, announced Monday, aims to improve the ability of teachers to learn from their own peers in order to meet those standards.
The Instructional Leadership Corps, or ILC, is a brainchild of a group of National Board-certified teachers, the California Teachers Association, and the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE).
The ILC idea starts with a select group of teachers, who are now receiving training in how to provide quality professional development aligned to the standards. The plan is for those teachers to bring that training regimen to other select teachers in individual schools, in effect creating site-based teams that provide professional learning for their colleagues; that training continues to expand to yet more teachers. Over the course of three years, ILC officials hope the effort will reach over 50,000 California teachers.
The initial group already exists, a cohort of 160 teachers and 24 administrators culled from an applicant pool of over 600 educators. The members of that group have already received initial training and get a $2,000 stipend. Funding for the ILC comes from the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation, Stuart Foundation, the National Education Association, and the California Education Policy Fund.
Linda Darling-Hammond, a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and SCOPE faculty director, said that the ILC promises to be an alternative to quick-hit professional learning provided by corporate entities.
"There's a big difference between a vendor coming in and doing a day or two, and having teacher-to-teacher, school-to-school district learning, which makes more and more people at the local level experts over time," Darling-Hammond said in a conference call on Monday. "It's a much longer-lasting approach."
While a number of forces have aligned to create the statewide initiative in California, those involved see the potential for other states to make similar efforts. Adam Ebrahim, a 9th grade geography teacher in the Fresno Unified School District, said the ILC could be a national model, and that the effort is about "moving teachers out from behind closed doors" to divulge good practices to each other.
"It doesn't matter who you ask, one of the things they all say we have in common is that we have to work collaboratively to build practice," said CTA president Dean E. Vogel.
Many teachers lament the lack of collaboration time schools give them as well as the quality of district-sponsored training, and the ILC initiative may provide a workaround to those issues by supplanting vendor-led PD, thus providing both the development schools are seeking through the collaborative means teachers say they want. And while there's an initial cost to schools, the point is to establish teachers within each school that can foster in-house professional development, theoretically limiting future costs.
But that's still an investment school leaders would have to make, and the initiative is no guarantee that schools will carve out added time for further collaboration, if they're not already. Since it's just getting off the ground, too, administrators will likely be waiting to see if the approach actually improves teaching, and whether teachers at other schools are buying into the approach.
As for scaling up the initiative, California has the benefit of a large union to help organize and publicize, but non-union states may face a struggle trying to get similar efforts off the ground. In addition, unless Darling-Hammond is planning to embark on a 50-state tour, other state efforts would likely need to find worthy substitutes for SCOPE. And, of course, there's the funding part.
The groups behind the ILC plan to have periods of reflection and assessment, which might lead to changes in the model over the next three years, but Brian Guerrero, a middle school teacher for the Lennox school district, sees the initiative as one that can and should be replicated elsewhere.
"It's organic, it's a little messy sometimes," Guerrero said. "But I think it develops a deeper level of understanding among everyone involved."

HTA capacity development across Asia
HITAP's activities during the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) 2015 focused on an overarching theme – priority-setting for universal health coverage (UHC), which is also the theme for next year's PMAC. As a new member of the HITAP team, I was involved in different activities during the Conference, particularly helping out at the PMAC 2016 booth and two side meetings. The first meeting was on the World Health Organisation Asia Pacific Observatory (APO) policy brief.
The APO, with support from HITAP and NICE international, brought together HTA practitioners from China, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand to develop a policy brief on Conducive Factors to HTA Development in Asia. In addition to the country working paper authors, Mr Manoj Jhalani (Joint Secretary – Policy, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) gave the keynote on India's progress in UHC through the National Health Mission, and its need for HTA as a "system of knowledge to address what needs to be prioritised". Researchers from respective institutes in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and India also shared their countries' experiences on the recent efforts for HTA introduction in these settings.
There was a fantastic turnout, and attendees came from different backgrounds, ranging academic institutions, civil society, donor agencies, HTA agencies, health and finance ministries, industry, and other public and private sector agents. The objectives of the meeting were to get feedback from this broad audience on the draft APO brief, to raise awareness of HTA establishment and its use in policymaking, and to share learning to other countries committed to UHC. As part of the team that collated and edited the draft report, the discussions were particularly relevant for me.
Topics for the presentations included:
whether UHC itself is a conducive factor or challenge to HTA development
the development of individual stakeholders, institutional capacity, and networking capacity, and their linkages to policy,
the key enabling factors for the integration of HTA into health systems.
Some of the issues and challenges highlighted during the discussions were:
the need for priority setting in all kinds of contexts (especially resource-limited countries)
opportunities and difficulties in the political process and possible distortionary effects of technologies
demand generation vs. answering current demand for HTA in countries
the need for and challenge of good quality data from LMICs, and
generalisability of research in one setting to another.
The findings from these discussions will be used to produce a practical guide (chapter on recommendations) for the policy brief.

UNBEATEN STRANAHAN GIRLS RALLY TO EDGE NEWMAN
Ray Boetel, Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
For three quarters Tuesday night, it looked as if Art Steffes' Cardinal Newman girls' basketball team would put an end to unbeaten Stranahan's 22-game winning streak.
The Crusaders were shooting well from the outside. Their rebounding was aggressive, and defensively they were holding the state's No. 2-ranked 3A Dragons well under a pace that would allow them to match their 77.8 scoring average.
Then the Crusaders went flat.
With the score tied 39-39 at the start of the final period, Tina Brawley made a 15-foot shot to put the Crusaders in front 41-39. But they didn't score again until 45 seconds remained.
In between, Stranahan scored 13 consecutive points in a 16-6 spurt that lifted the District 12-4A champion to a 55-45 Region 7-3A semifinal victory and a berth in Thursday night's regional championship game against Glades Central. Glades Central reached the final with a 55-45 victory over Piper.
"We played well enough to win, but just did not hit the shots when we had to have the baskets," said Steffes, whose Crusaders (19-10) were eliminated from the postseason tournament.
"My girls got into foul trouble and we gave up some easy baskets down near the end. We got the shots from the outside and we also had some inside shots that we did not make. When we missed the outside shots, we got the rebounds, but could not put them back in the hoop.
"Stranahan is a good team. It is aggressive, but it did not play that well. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but I think Glades Central is a better ballclub."
The Crusaders stuck with the Dragons for the first three quarters, taking advantage of several Stranahan defensive lapses to grab a 13-12 first-period lead.
They worked the ball into the corners and then inside to Annette DeLuca center Beth Jones. The Crusaders connected on 5 of 11 field-goal attempts in the period. Stranahan also worked the ball inside but wasn't able to score with consistency.
Stranahan ran off the first six points of the second quarter for an 18-13 lead, but Tina Brawley, DeLuca and Marie Fiedor brought the Crusaders back with shots from 15 feet.
With 4:14 left in the half, Stranahan built a 20-19 lead into a 26-19 advantage by scoring six consecutive points, the last on a Lashaita Mims field goal. Newman again bounced back to close the lead to 28-27 at the half.
Mims, who played for North Shore last year, directed Stranahan at point guard and led the surge in the final period, hitting four free throws in final 1:56 to give her 10 points.
Free throws and fouls hurt the Crusaders; Cardinal Newman was called for 21 personal fouls and made 5 of 7 free throws. Stranahan made 17 free throws.
Before fouling out with 1:49 remaining, Brawley scored 13 points. DeLuca and Laura Feldkamp each added 10.

Kill or be Killed is an American comic book series created by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. Elizabeth Breitweiser is the colorist. The series was announced in April 2016, and the first issue was published by Image Comics on August 3, 2016. The series received mostly positive reviews from critics until its conclusion with issue 20 in June 2018.

The story is about a suicidal college student who, working with a demon, becomes a vigilante. The comic examines the consequences of vigilante violence. Kill or be Killed debuted to mostly positive reviews, although some critics felt it was too similar to Brubaker and Phillips' previous collaborations.

Publication history

Production
Kill or Be Killed is the sixth collaboration between Brubaker and Phillips, who had previously created other crime comics like Criminal, Fatale, and The Fade Out together. They first announced this series in April 2016 at the Image Expo, which was held during the Emerald City Comic Con. They promoted the series being "unlike anything [they have] done before" because it will be set in the present day and is designed as an ongoing series instead of a limited one with a predetermined course. Image partner Robert Kirkman suggested Brubaker aim for at least 50 issues.

The concept stemmed from Brubaker's effort to channel his feelings about the state of the world and take them to the extreme. Recent news reports made him feel "that there is no justice. Everybody gets away with everything. The world being at the edge of falling apart is where the whole story sprang from." He hopes the story taps into the "generational anger" he has observed. He describes the story as Death Wish meets Breaking Bad with the adventure of The Amazing Spider-Man comics from the 1970s.

Phillips chooses to be kept in the dark about the future of the series, never knowing any farther ahead than his current working script. For Kill or Be Killed, he is using digital tools and the same panel layout he has used on previous works, but removed the frame from the outside edges because he felt the full bleed makes the images feel more claustrophobic. Breitweiser, an integral part of the team, is coloring Phillips' art in a moody palette with gritty textures and incorporating color psychology.

Publication
The first issue had an initial print run of about 30,000 and was released on August 3, 2016. It quickly sold out at the distributor level and a second printing was announced August 9. The issue remained in high demand, and two additional printings were issued by December. It was the 93rd best selling comic book issue the month it was released. The second issue was released in September with an initial print run of about 23,800 copies. The 20% drop in orders for issue two was less than the industry average of 30%, and far less than the Image average of 50%. This issue was also a sell out and received additional printings. Orders for the third issue were a little higher, estimated at 23,900 copies. The first four issues sold in higher numbers than any of Brubaker and Phillips' previous collaborations. As part of Image Comics' 25th anniversary, Kill or Be Killed participated in the "tribute variants" with an alternate cover drawn by Phillips that paid homage to the first issue of The Walking Dead. The series concluded at issue 20 in June 2018.

The comic book was collected in a series of trade paperback volumes. The first volume, released January 18, 2017, contains issues 1–4 and the second volume, released August 9, 2017, contains issues 5–10. The third volume was released on January 19, 2018, collecting issues 11–14. A fourth volume was also released in 2018. Each single issue includes articles and other content written by guest contributors that are not included in the collected editions.

Plot

Synopsis
Brubaker wanted to examine the reality of being a vigilante, and Kill or Be Killed focuses on the ramifications of violence and its effect on Dylan's loved ones. Brubaker said he chose to make the character young because he wanted to include the optimism of youth. The demonic element to the story also allows Brubaker to play with the idea of "If you had to kill a bad person, who would you pick?" Although Dylan becomes a murderer at the beginning of the story, Brubaker hopes the character's plight is sympathetic enough that readers will root for him. Dylan's arrangement with the demon has been interpreted as commentary on the War on Terror and the racially motivated violence publicised in the US in the two years prior to the book's publication.

Plot
Dylan, a 28 year-old grad student, is depressed because he is in love with his best friend, Kira, but she is dating Dylan's roommate, Mason. He has a cynical worldview and criticizes the world for its materialism, and at the same time wishes he could connect better with the people in it. When his roommate is away one night, Dylan and Kira begin a secret affair. When Dylan overhears Mason and Kira discussing how pitiful he is, Dylan decides to commit suicide. He jumps off a tall building, but survives due to unlikely events. That night, he is visited by a demon who claims he spared Dylan's life. The demon says Dylan must now murder one person for every additional month he wants to live. Dylan convinces himself this was a hallucination, but he begins to grow sick as the end of the month approaches. When the demon appears a second time, Dylan decides to track down a man who molested Dylan's friend when they were children. After shooting him, Dylan's sickness goes away. The next month, Dylan struggles to find another target he feels deserves to die. He settles on a brothel run by a Russian mob. He murders one of the men, but is violently beaten by one of the sex workers before he escapes. His unexplained injuries lead Kira to end their secret romance, although they remain friends. Dylan begins taking boxing lessons and stalking a corrupt businessman. A detective, Lily Sharpe, begins to connect the dots between Dylan's murders; the Russian mob, and begins to hunt for Dylan.

Critical reception
The series debuted to highly positive reviews, earning an average score of 9.0 out of 10 based on 30 critic reviews at review aggregation website Comic Book Roundup. In his review for Adventures in Poor Taste, Nick Nafpliotis described the main character's flaws as "uncomfortably relatable." He and other reviewers noted visual similarities to the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films and the pulp hero The Shadow. Reviewer Zedric Dimalanta was impressed with the Phillips' accurate depiction of speed loading a shotgun. Reviewers David Pepose and Drew Bradley praised Breitweiser for "sell[ing] the mood" and adding depth and texture to the finished page. Nothing But Comics called it the best new series of 2016.

In his review of the first issue, Nick Hanover said "the craft on display is unsurprisingly proficient," but that aside from Breitwesier's colors, it does not distinguish itself from the team's earlier works. He drew comparisons to Fatale and Criminal, lamenting that Kill or Be Killed fails to live up to the promise of being unlike anything they had done previously. Matthew Garcia agreed in his review for Multiversity Comics, saying that while the story was well made and entertaining, the themes and content were unsurprising. In his Newsarama review, Pepose called the deal with the demon that sets the story in motion and establishes the status quo the weakest point of the story.

In 2017, the series was nominated for Eisner Awards in the categories "Best Continuing Series", "Best Writer", "Best Cover Artist", and "Best Coloring". Phillips was also nominated for "Best Pencillier/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team" at the 2019 Eisner Awards.

Collected editions

Film adaptation
In December 2017, a film adaptation of the comic was announced. It will be written by Daniel Casey and directed by Chad Stahelski.

Instructors can virtually export and import large groups of learners into an LMS. Some systems even allow instructors to create different user profiles, group users by classes or training courses, and administer and update their accounts, including passwords and other account information.
Using an LMS, instructors can view key reports & stats on learner performance. These include detailed real-time Learning Management Software reports for all learner activities such as course access, activity, and assessment results. Depending on the LMS, there are many other reports & stats available, such as question difficulty reports, time spent reports, and compliance reports. They can also download or email these reports.
LMS systems allow learners to communicate with their peers and instructors with email tools, discussion forums etc. This allows instructors and students to have scheduled and informal discussions with each other. Communication tools provide a rich interactive elearning environment for students.
Instructors can easily upload different kinds of online content to the LMS, such as articles, PDFs, presentations, videos, slideshare files, images, audio files, live web content, and much more to a centralized location. They can also easily manage and update the existing content by integrating blogs, wikis, journals, and interactive videos or images to enhance their courses.
Individual trainers and organizations can use LMS to create custom course completion certificates, which they can brand with their own logo and colors. They can also incorporate their custom grading system and fully track the certification process for any user or group.
A prime feature of an LMS is the automated course grading feature, which helps instructors to instantly grade large number of assessments. It provides instant feedback to students and decreases the workload of trainers and educators, saving them hours of time otherwise spent in manual grading. Automated grading assessment tools can include quizzes, self-tests, graded discussions, assignments, and journals.
Learning Management Systems allows trainers to see that their learners meet regulatory compliance. Likewise, companies can see if their employees have met their training schedules and deadlines with the advanced learner tracking features that an LMS provides.
Doing away with the brick and mortar classroom, an LMS gives users a virtual classroom that they can access 24/7 from the Internet. This creates a self-paced learning environment that meets the needs for busy student. Instructors can also automate the process of delivering content to the learners, saving them time and effort.
Most commercial LMS systems allow companies to fully brand their courses and training programs. Companies and independent educators can add their logos, change the font and colors, and customize the look and feel of the course. This helps students identify their online learning environment with their school or company.
Many LMS developers design mobile tools that allow learners to access courses in the LMS from their smartphones and mobile devices. This helps facilitate anytime, anywhere learning for students, who prefer to use their mobile devices more than a computer to access the web.
LMS software incorporates different kinds of social learning features for learners to share their thoughts, ideas, and creativity. These include blog modules, discussion forums, RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, and content sharing tools that including bios, videos, and photos. Where available, third-party application integration also helps instructors incorporate social learning tools into the course.
A few LMS software providers support e-commerce integration into the LMS environment. This opens a variety of opportunities for user registration. Key e-commerce integration features include support for multiple credit cards, pricing options, store & checkout page branding, sales dashboard, and marketing support.

Q: Problem with Width and Height properity of a image on java I'm having a problem with the Width and Height Property of an image on java.
For some reason the are null.

And on the properties of the image, I have the dimensions of the file.

I need to control the dimension for not get an exception when the image are displayed on screen. Because I have to calculate the dimensions when zoon in or out and some other stuffs.
This is the code to loading and verificate the image widht and height
if (confirmOverwrite()) {
            FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
            if (previousImportDir != null) {
                fileChooser.setInitialDirectory(previousImportDir.getParentFile());
            }
            fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().add(new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Arquivos de Imagem", "*.png", "*.jpg", "*.bmp", "*.gif"));
            fileChooser.setTitle("Importar arquivo de imagem");
            File file = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(stage);
            if (file != null) {
                previousImportDir = file;
                Image img = new Image("file:" + file.getPath());
                if ((img.getWidth() != 0 && img.getHeight() != 0))
                    actionSetNewImageOnCanvas(img);

And the image is generate on another software, that are an sdk to acquire intraoral x-ray.
And the sdk code to save the image is that:

How suggested I tried to use feredImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(file); instead of Image img = new Image("file:" + file.getPath());
But the object are null

As requested, thats the image I'm trying to load: https://shortest.link/KFQ
(over 2 Megabytes)

A: The problem is that I'm using Java 8, so to load TIFF images we need a plugin.
Add these lines to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.github.jai-imageio</groupId>
   <artifactId>jai-imageio-core</artifactId>
   <version>1.4.0</version>
</dependency>

If you need to use a jar or other repositories see more in github
And on the code do these changes:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(fis);
System.out.println("Width: " + bufferedImage.getWidth());
Image img = SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(bufferedImage, null);

Редиф е название на втора категория /резервни войски/ на въоръжените сили на Османската империя.

Армията се състои както от войници, служещи редовната си служба /низам/, така и от завършили срока на низам, но зачислени в запаса – редиф. Разделен е на 3 срока /мокадем, тали и салиссе/.

По време на война от състава на редифа се попълва редовната войска. Често от редиф се формират самостоятелни военни части, които нямат високи бойни качества. Отличават се при потушаване на вътрешни бунтове и въстания с необуздани грабежи и зверства.
