I am very glad I took the Web Deisgn (CIW) and Game Development class at James Rumsey, because I learned a lot of new things and found my passion for working with computers and coding. My teacher was great. He didn't lecture every day. He told us what was expected of us, and we learned by trial and error. Being in the Web and Game Development class was a great experience, and I would recommend that anyone with a love for technology and wanting to learn how to code and see the unknown side of games and web pages, to take this class.

Serialization is the process of translating data structures or object state into a format that can be stored (for example, in a file or memory buffer) or transmitted (for example, across a network connection link) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer environment).
Serialization is used when we want to store and load the data back into memory (at a later point in time).
We can use this in games, when we want to save the progress or the inventory of a profile.
This will allow us to load the bytes and reconstruct the object so we can use it afterwards.
In order to make use of serialization / deserialization process, we will need to use persistency (such as a file, or a db) so we can have the data stored after the application is closed.
More on serialization can be read here.

John Brooks Leavitt (1849–1930) was a New York City attorney, author and reformer. As member of the "Good Government" movement, Leavitt crusaded against Tammany Hall municipal corruption, demanding in 1897 the indictment of United States Senator Thomas C. Platt on charges of extorting bribes from the New York Life Insurance Company in return for favors to the insurance giant. "We have positive evidence, which as soon as New York has an honest District Attorney," Leavitt told a crowd of 2,000 gathered at Long Acre Square on Broadway, "will be laid before him, and we then shall be able to obtain an indictment and send the arch-boss to the jail which yawns for him."

Early life and career beginnings

John Brooks Leavitt was born September 30, 1849, at Cincinnati, Ohio, where his father John McDowell Leavitt was practicing law, and his wife Bethia (Brooks) Leavitt. Leavitt subsequently attended high school in Zanesville, Ohio, where his father acted as minister of an Episcopal church after leaving his law practice. In 1868 Leavitt graduated from Kenyon College, and four years later he graduated with a master's degree. Leavitt then enrolled at the Columbia University School of Law, where he graduated in 1871.

Following his graduation from Columbia, Leavitt began clerking in a New York City law office, and shortly after hung out his shingle as sole practitioner. Leavitt's practice was meager, but gradually he found clients, usually cases he took when he felt a client had been shortchanged. An early client was a clergyman who was accused of grave immorality. In a subsequent case tied to election fraud, Leavitt filed suit against the New York State Secretary of State, the state's Attorney General and other state officers for contempt of court. The state officers sued by Leavitt were heavily fined by the court for their offense.

From the beginning of his career, Leavitt was outspoken. Among his targets through the years were the telephone monopoly, fellow attorneys who abused the contingency fee system, the laws regarding the criminally insane, and the need for ballot reform in New York State.

Early on, Leavitt laid out his philosophy in simple language. "The conservatism which preaches the improvement of the individual as the sole cure for social ills," Leavitt wrote in 1902, "will never improve the world." Leavitt then launched an attack on corruption in all forms – especially corporate. "If an illustration is needed it is to be found in the conduct of directors of corporations, who, when acting as a body, countenance theft, bribery, extortion, tyranny, lawlessness, trickery and fraud, which as individuals each man would abhor.... The old common-law saying that corporations have no souls is false. Corporations have souls. Governments have souls. Society has a soul."

In another of Leavitt's articles, he cut to the chase. In writing on the church (Leavitt's client was a high churchman accused of malfeasance), Leavitt addressed the temptation to follow conventional wisdom. In his essay The Attitude of the Church Towards Things Not Seen, the New York attorney noted that while church members believed miracles which happened two millennia ago, and which they had not seen, they were skeptical of current events they had seen. "Sheep follow the shepherd," Leavitt wrote. "Many laymen echo their minister."

Outspoken crusader

Leavitt rarely missed an opportunity to put across his message. Speaking to the graduating class of his alma mater Kenyon College in 1896, for instance, Leavitt titled his commencement speech "The Civic Duties of College Graduates." Two years later, Leavitt delivered an address he called "American Institutions and Political Machines". Nor did Leavitt always take up the most popular causes. In one of his polemics, entitled To What Extent Should Insane Persons Be Amenable to Criminal Law?, Leavitt examined the issue of mental illness and legal culpability. (At the time Leavitt served as the chairman of the committee on Criminal Procedure of New York State Bar Association. Afterwards, Leavitt chaired the Bar Association's Committee on Commitment and Discharge of the Criminal Insane. Leavitt became a pioneer of New York State laws relating to the criminal culpability of those adjudged mentally ill.

In 1910, Leavitt spoke to the graduating class of 18 women at the Woman's Law Class of New York University. "I regret to say that many of the criminal lawyers of this city," Leavitt told the newly minted attorneys, "do not reflect much credit on the profession, for far too often are they criminal in both senses of the word." If the jury system were removed, Leavitt told the 18 women who were among the first of their sex to practice law in the city, "in twenty-five years you will have a corrupt judiciary."

Like many reformers, Leavitt rarely passed up an opportunity to convey his message, and he was a frequent contributor of letters to the editor of The New York Times and other New York City newspapers. The New York attorney was a contributor to the book Everyday Ethics, a collection of essays on professional ethics published by the Yale University Press in New Haven.

Among the progressives of the era, even during the era of President Theodore Roosevelt, there was widespread skepticism that things would change for the better. In a letter to John Brooks Leavitt of January 26, 1900, for instance, E. L. Godkin told the New York attorney that barring extraordinary events, he was happily removing himself from public service in the face of the greed and corruption of elected officials. "At the time in question I was under the delusion," Godkin wrote to the reformer Leavitt, "from which I have recovered, that deliverance might come for this City from our respectable classes.... Thank God I am out of it. Such a condition of things among the instructed classes needs at least a generation to be reformed."

Leavitt held no political offices, and expressed gratitude that he felt compelled towards none. (For many years, Leavitt was a member of the Citizens Union party, headquartered at 34 Union Square in lower Manhattan. Nor did he serve on any corporate boards of directors. In 1893 he was persuaded to run for Assemblyman on the 'Good Government' reform ticket, but failed to win election, which the crusading lawyer said came as a relief. Leavitt served on committees for reform of the Bar Association, where he proposed novel plans including reconstituting the United States Circuit Court of Appeals with a different composition of federal judges.

Later life and legacy

John Brooks Leavitt was a member of the University Club, the Social Reform Club, the New York City League of Reform, the National Civil Service Reform League, the Barnard Club, Onteora Club, the Bar Association of New York City, the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the reform-minded Civil Service League. Leavitt was a long-serving member of the New York Bar Association's Committee on Unlawful Practice of the Law, as well as the Committee on the Prevention of Unnecessary Litigation. He regularly contributed articles to The Counsellor, the New York Law School Law Journal, where he was listed as contributor.

Leavitt kept a law office at 30 Broad Street in downtown Manhattan. He was considered a Mugwump Republican. Until the end of his life Leavitt served in various volunteer capacities with the Protestant Episcopal Church for the diocese of New York, and was the longtime Senior Warden at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery in Manhattan's East Village.

Leavitt was a founding director in 1891 of the East Side House, a settlement house on the East Side of Manhattan endowed by Charles B. Webster of R. H. Macy & Co. The House was designed to form a "self-supporting club which should keep the workingmen off the streets and out of the saloons."

Leavitt was active in the Alumni Associations of Columbia College and Kenyon College, which conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on him in 1896. He continued to write widely for periodicals and magazines, and often spoke to gatherings on the subject of municipal and corporate corruption. Leavitt was married in 1879 at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to Mary Keith, daughter of Rev. Ormes B. Keith of Philadelphia, and great-niece of Elias Boudinot, president of the United States Congress at the close of the Revolutionary War. Mary (Keith) Leavitt died at the couple's home at 1 Lexington Avenue at Gramercy Park in Lower Manhattan on July 3, 1916, at age 59.

This morning I decided to add roles to CatchTheBest to start adding a few simple permissions to the application. Sometimes people's eyes glaze over when they hear role-based access control, but it really doesn't have to be complicated. There are some plugins out there that are more or less plug and play for implementing RBAC, but here's a quick and simple example you can use in your project to easily add user roles.
This adds the roles and user_roles tables and creates the first role (Admin). I have added an index to the name field of the roles table because we'll be querying on that field quite a bit.
There's nothing terribly exciting there. :) Notice that I don't have any relationship declarations in Role, as I currently don't care about finding users by role — I only care about finding roles by user.
And that's it. Easy, eh?

The holiday season and family go hand in hand. This year, with Christmas and New Year's days falling on Fridays, we have more time than ever to enjoy the holidays. But what happens if you have to add work into the mix? How do you find time to put the finishing touches on that PowerPoint and trim the tree? Here are a few tips to consider to make it a little smoother if you're working during the holidays.
1. Don't feel obligated to work from home.
This may sound like strange advice because working from home is such an advantage and promote flexibility, but it doesn't always make sense when there are family members and guests milling about. There is a reason that so many parents of young children actually prefer going to an office each day, even while they have in-home childcare. During the holidays, it may make more sense to head to work early in the morning, work a solid five or six hours without interruption, and make it home in time for a late lunch. Most people that are in the office aren't interested in scheduling meetings in the late afternoon during the week of Christmas, so this is entirely possible. When you're at home, you can relax and just be there.
2. Working from home? Separate yourself from everyone.
If you do decide to work from home, create physical separation between you and your family during working hours. Don't respond to emails from the kitchen table, or try to field a call while decorating Christmas cookies. You'll get frustrated that there are so many distractions and your family won't take your "working from home" status as legitimate. Instead, hole up in your office, or pack up your computer and hit your favorite (albeit crowded) coffee shop to get your work done.
3. Set reasonable goals on what you'll get done each day.
It's easy to decide to just monitor emails and not do anything sizeable, but this is the best time to tackle some more serious projects at work, like things that take concentration and solitude. Decide on one major project that you will work on for one to two hours (uninterrupted) each day, like your self-evaluation for your performance review, or proof reading that white paper. Then, dedicate the rest of your workday to monitoring email and responding in case of emergency only.
4. Create a "respond after the holidays" folder for your email.
Don't bother responding to everything in your inbox. So many people will be out on official vacation, there is no point responding now and having your email buried at the bottom of their inbox. Instead, write your response and put it in a draft folder. On the first Monday after the holidays, browse through your folder and send out the drafts that are still relevant.
5. Don't host major meals or parties.
Let your friends and family take over on this one. If you're providing the venue for the annual New Year's Eve gathering, let someone else do the menu planning and cooking. Or, ask guests to organize a potluck or find a great caterer. It's ok to ask for help with clean up too – it's an inevitable part of any celebration.
6. Be fanatic about boundaries.
If there ever was a time to be strict about your boundaries – this is it. Don't stay connected after hours, and refuse calls on holidays and weekends. If you absolutely must work during this time (e.g. you're on call for your team, or you have patients with an emergency), try to attend to what's needed and immediately shut down after you've taken care of it. It's easy to get sucked into email or other activities once you start dealing with work, but try to avoid it so that you can still enjoy the holidays with your loved ones.
It's not often six days of vacation results in 16 continuous days off. Take advantage of it and if you have vacation left, take it! Refresh, recharge, and spend undistracted quality time with your family. When's the last time you were able to do that?

Blue Devils Football and Field Hockey
Blue Devils Run through Dover
by Craig Smith
In football there are generally two ways to gain yards: pass or run. But when a team is as loaded at the running back position as Salem there is only one approach needed. How dominant is Salem's running game? Four Blue Devil running backs scored a touchdown before the start of the second half, a number that doesn't even do the team justice considering a fifth RB, sophomore Joshua Sibanda (#2), didn't score but was a key part in getting Salem into the red zone, including a nearly 80-yard run.
Nicholas Shumski (#7) continued to prove that he is one of New Hampshire's best running backs after running nearly 80 yards for a touchdown off of the opening kickoff. It took him 17 seconds to give the Blue Devils the lead, and that lead would only grow as Shumski even converted the two-point attempt afterwards. After a monstrous sack by junior Benjamin Emerson (#8) Salem would get the ball back and score minutes later after a strong run by RB James LeBlond (#34). Emerson wasn't done there, however, because he would recover a fumble that would lead to Salem's third touchdown one play later. Star RB Charles Sibanda (#22) ran more than 20 yards to give them a 22-0 lead. The Blue Devils were living up to their namesake as they terrorized Dover on both ends, creating a phantasm of horror for every player on the visiting team. Emerson continued to make sack after sack, and Jacob Fantasia (#25) made an impressive interception to finish out the second quarter. Even when Dover managed to get near the end zone the Salem defense was crushing. Even on a first down, with only three yards to go to the end zone, Dover fell apart when they faced Salem's nightmarish defense.
The scoring barrage would only continue with Shumski scoring a second time and junior RB Solomon Ortiz (#24) capping off the first half. With a 36-0 lead going into the second half, Salem's offense coasted, saving their energy for the defensive end, until LeBlond scored his second touchdown of the night and put an end to any hope Dover had. Salem would win 43-0.
After the game Coach Pike went on to say, "Our running backs have exceptional talent. It's really comfortable to have so many exceptional players at one position, but the guys blocking for them deserve credit too. Without them our running backs would have nowhere to go."
Olivia Lacey (#21) fights for control of the ball early.
Natalie Azzarito (#10) lines up for a good pass.
Alexandra Sirmaian (#12) makes a great hit, leading to a goal.
Field Hockey Skunks Visiting Nashua North
Salem fans are spoiled this year when it comes to talent. Every athletics team seems to be dazzling and succeeding no matter the opponent, and the field hockey team is no exception.
Coming off of a hard-fought 2-1 win over Keene the game before, the Blue Devils looked to add to their win totals by facing off against Nashua North. What would ensue can only be described as domination. Senior captain Brianna Wood (#5) started the scoring train early for Salem with a smooth, unassisted goal. Her aggressiveness was contagious and her teammates pushed offensively, searching for cracks in Nashua North's defensive line. Their opponent's defense was savvy and always in good positioning, but ultimately Natalie Azzarito (#10) and Alexandra Sirmaian (#12) proved to be too talented down the stretch. The two took turns assisting one another for goals, showing off their passing and scoring abilities. Azzarito would score once and Sirmaian twice before finally winning 4-0.
The aggressiveness of the Blue Devils didn't stop offensively. Their defense was just as potent when Nashua North had a chance to hit the ball. Every girl was in the right place at the right time to make the right play. Field hockey fans should be excited for the rest of the season as these athletes prove that they can perform at an elite level.

St. Clair Service Co.
Environmental Respect Awards > Winners > 2012 Winners > St. Clair Service Co.
2012 Spirit Winner
St. Clair Service Co. - Belleville, IL
After winning a National Environment Respect Award in 1998, St. Clair Service Co. has spent more than a decade spreading the good stewardship message. It was built in 1931 to serve the growers of St. Clair County by ensuring a safe environment, governmental compliance and agricultural education for youth. In 1981, St. Clair Service Co. was relocated to a new site, three miles outside of the Belleville, IL-city limits, and just 19 miles from St. Louis and North America's largest river system.
But the everyday challenges that came with proximity to a big city and a highly regulated watershed only served to deepen its commitment. In 1998, Location Manager Francis Vahlkamp accepted the National Environmental Respect Award for his company's outstanding environmental initiatives.
Fourteen years later, the next generation continues to carry out the cooperative's now 81-year mission. Service to agriculture that has brought this retailer the 2012 Spirit of Respect Award.
"In the past 15 years," says Christopher Otten, location manager and safety coordinator at St. Clair, "there have been 7,000 new homes constructed in a radius of 25-30 miles around us. We are in constant vigilance of maintaining our site with the utmost concern of safety for the environment and respect for our surrounding neighbors."
One of the biggest changes the facility has seen since its win in 1998 is the use of technology.
"Agriculture today is a business and a lot of it is about technology," says Vahlkamp.
According to Otten, to keep up with the pace, St. Clair now has computers in all its cabs, and offers variable-rate technology to its customers. A second anhydrous ammonia tank, new containment dikes, a 30,000-gallon water tank in the fertilizer shed, a HAZMAT Unit on site and four additional sprayers round out the most recent improvements.
But while physical plant upgrades are necessary to maintain safe and effective operations, the skill with which these tools are used is more important to Otten.
"Safety training is an absolute ongoing thing you have to do," says Otten. "If I get hurt or sick from breathing in this or that, what did it cost me? A lot."
Training at St. Clair Service is intense, beginning in January and extending throughout the year. It is conducted by job description providing each employee with specific skills that allow them to become experts in their area.
Otten explains that the company's record of more than 500 days without incident can only happen when employees are paying attention to the details.
"They're taking the extra 30 seconds before they do something to say 'is that right or wrong?' If you take the time to do that, you'll know if something doesn't look right."
"Do you know what color of milk comes from a brown cow?" asks Vahlkamp, speaking to a room full of first graders. Hands fly in the air. "Chocolate!" one student answered. A chuckle for some, but a representation of the disconnect between the next generation and the food that keeps them alive.
"It's about agriculture," Vahlkamp explains. "Young kids do not understand where the food comes from. They don't understand how the farmer is making things better for them."
Sharing the ABCs of ag has been a mission since the company's inception. After Vahlkamp retired from managing St. Clair in 2005, he remained actively involved in Ag in the Classroom, a program run by the Illinois Farm Bureau. This year, the program will reach approximately 7,000 children.
In addition to 30 years of Ag in the Classroom, St. Clair - with Vahlkamp's help - conducts field and facility tours and works with local high schools to share agriculture's message of safety.
"Agricultural spirit is involved in knowing, understanding and getting with all the people to let them know that we're doing the very best we can," he says.
"What are we trying to do?" says Otten. "It's not all about making money. You have to look at the grassroots. Why do I grow crops? It's to help feed the world. If you can take somebody out of a big city who hasn't seen anything but concrete their whole lives, and you bring them out to the farm and see that glow, it's an amazing feeling I can't even explain. They realize that 'hey, agriculture is what takes care of this.'"

Steph more nervous for pro golf tournament than big NBA games
/ by Ali Thanawalla
Steph Curry has played in 112 NBA playoff games during his 11-year career. Twenty-eight of those were NBA Finals games, including a Game 7 at the end of the 73-win season.
But according to the Warriors star, none of those games compare to the nervousness he felt while competing in the 2017 and 2018 Ellie Mae Classic golf tournaments.
"I've played in NBA Finals, I've played in world championships and played with Team USA," Curry recently told Bleacher Report's Adam Kramer. "I've played in a lot of big games. There is no comparison to how nervous I was on the first tee, standing there with other professionals, trying to compete."
Before training camp for the upcoming 2020-21 NBA season begins next week, Curry will use his downtime to participate in "The Match" Champions for Change" on Friday. The two-time NBA MVP will team up with former NFL star Peyton Manning to take on PGA superstar Phil Mickelson and Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.
While Curry won't be the worst of the four golfers on the course in Arizona -- that distinction likely goes to Barkley -- he likely will be nervous playing in front of a national audience. His dabbles in the Ellie Mae Classic and the American Century Championship Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe were watched in-person by limited audiences.
Now, Curry's golf game will be under a microscope. He has game, but does he have enough to hang with Mickelson, a five-time Major champion?
RELATED: Steph's Curry 8 signature shoe to drop soon
Former Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala suggested that Curry's golf game isn't trending in the right direction. If that indeed is the case, Curry could be in trouble Friday.
But Warriors fans have watched Curry rise to the occasion time after time, so they will expect nothing less from the three-time NBA champion.

UPDATE 4-U.S., allies ratchet up the economic pressure against Belarus
Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis
(Adds EU, Canada actions, recasts)
By Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis
WASHINGTON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - The United States and its allies, including the European Union, on Thursday imposed sanctions against dozens of individuals and entities in Belarus in a coordinated move to escalate punitive action against President Alexander Lukashenko and his government.
The latest round of sanctions aim to significantly increase pressure on Lukashenko, who is accused of rigging the presidential election last year to stay in power, ordering a massive crackdown on the opposition, and recently sending migrants to the Eastern European nation's border with the EU in an effort to manufacture a crisis for the bloc.
Western nations accuse Russia of supporting him.
Thursday's action was coordinated between the United States, Canada, Britain and the EU. In a joint statement, the group called on Lukashenko's government to immediately and completely halt its orchestrating of irregular migration across its borders with the EU.
"Those, in Belarus or in third countries, who facilitate illegal crossing of the EU's external borders should know this comes at a substantial cost," the statement said.
The U.S. sanctions designated 20 individuals and 12 entities, taking aim at the country's defense, security and potash sectors as well as government officials and Lukashenko's son.
Washington also restricted Americans from dealing in new Belarusian sovereign debt with a maturity greater than 90 days issued on or after Thursday by the country's finance ministry or Development Bank.
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Ottawa had imposed new sanctions on 24 individuals and seven entities.
The EU, for its part, imposed sanctions on the state-owned Belarusian airline Belavia. EU governments blacklisted 17 individuals and 11 entities https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-imposes-new-sanctions-belarus-coordination-with-us-britain-2021-12-02, targeting judges and top Belarusian officials, taking the number of people under sanctions to 183, as well as 26 entities.
The Belarusian Foreign Ministry said it would retaliate against the EU sanctions, which it said were designed to strangle the country and worsen the lives of its people.
"As a response, as we have previously said, we will take harsh, asymmetrical but adequate measures."
It did not immediately comment on the actions by the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom.
POTASH SECTOR
As part of Thursday's move, Washington imposed sanctions on the Belarusian state-owned tourism company and seven Belarusian government officials over the migrant crisis.
EU countries have accused Belarus of creating a migrant standoff nL1N2SM0RR on the bloc's eastern borders by encouraging thousands from the Middle East and Africa to try to cross into Poland and Lithuania, in revenge for Western sanctions on Minsk.
Lukashenko denies doing so and pins the blame for the crisis on the EU.
Rights groups say at least 13 people have died as migrants have camped in freezing conditions at the border.
Entities related to the potash sector were also blacklisted on Thursday in an effort to limit the financial benefits Lukashenko's government derives from potash exports.
Britain targeted one of the world's largest potash fertilizer producers, state-run Belaruskali.
Washington, which blacklisted Belaruskali in August, added its exporting arm, the Belarus Potash Company (BPC), to its blacklist. Shares of global potash producers rose on Thursday following the announcement.
BPC did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
DEFENSE FIRMS
The United States also blacklisted state-owned cargo carrier Transaviaexport Airlines, which it accused of shipping thousands of tons of ammunition and weapons to foreign conflict zones such as Libya, as well as five entities that produce or export defense materials.
The defense firms listed included the makers of riot control barriers and armored vehicles that were deployed against crowds protesting the official results of the August 2020 presidential election. Lukashenko was declared the winner with about 80% of the vote despite opposition claims that he had lost the race.
Brian O'Toole, a former Treasury official now with the Atlantic Council, said Thursday's move helped the United States catch up with previous EU action while also leaving room for escalation.
"This is exactly what you want to see out of the U.S. It's a big action, it will have lots of impact, and there's still lots of head room," he said.

Exposing the Menace of Sugar Ray Case File Case File #194: Fathers' Day
Nathan Rabin
As I wrote in the MYOF book-exclusive Case File for W, there comes a moment in every cinephile's intellectual and creative development when he or she comes to realize that Oliver Stone is full of shit; similarly, there comes a moment in every comedy fan's intellectual and creative development when he or she comes to realize that Robin Williams is not funny. For many, this is a jarring, even shocking revelation. The hirsute yuksmith is supposed to be funny. To some of his fans, he's less a funnyman than comedy incarnate, a madman whose brain simply cannot stop creating comedy. He's a machine. He cannot help himself. Simply wind him up and let him go. In Marc Maron's resonant turn of phrase, he's less a stand-up comic with an act than a delivery system. Simply insert a subject into the machine and watch it whirr busily into motion.
Kids love Williams because they like shiny, busy, bright, and furry things that never stop moving. As a child, I was suitably impressed by the manic busyness of Williams' stand-up and acting performances, before I came to realize that Williams never stopped talking because he never had anything to say. The manic showiness of his delivery couldn't quite mask the emptiness of material that was, if the stories are to be believed, occasionally purloined from less-famous comics anyway. Williams' brain seems to have stopped paying attention around the time he kicked cocaine, so Williams' gay guy and hip-hopper are frozen forever in 1983. Perhaps Williams will someday go back and update them, but for now they're doomed to exist forever in a sad, tasteless time warp.
Now that I'm beating Williams' head against a rock with words, I should probably concede that I like him. He's supposed to be a super-nice guy. He's notorious for stealing jokes, but he's also famous for allegedly writing checks to people whose material he stole and for helping fuel the '80s stand-up comedy club boom by going to just about every new club and taking a picture with the owners to illustrate what big shots they were. Seriously. Go to a comedy club and chances are good you'll see a picture of the owners with Williams.
I like Williams as a dramatic actor for the same reasons I dislike him as a stand-up comic. In films like World's Greatest Dad, Insomnia, The World According To Garp, and The Night Listener, he radiates vulnerability bordering on desperation. The need not just for approval but for love and adoration that makes Williams exhausting as a comic can be touching in a dramatic context. There is no surer recipe for an insufferable, over-the-top headache of a comedy than a director simply letting Williams do Williams. Williams is most effective in movies that channel his all-consuming need for attention to their own ends.
In all of the above films, Williams plays writers of varying degrees of success. He also plays a writer opposite Billy Crystal in 1997's Fathers' Day, and there are moments throughout Williams' performance when it appears that the film is secretly a touching drama about a flawed, despondent failed writer's redemption buried deep inside a dispiriting comedy. Never is this more apparent than during a promising scene where Williams earnestly attempts to try to find some common ground with Charlie Hofheimer, a teenage runaway who may or may not be his son.
This is Williams' first real opportunity to behave like a father, and he wants to make the most of it. So how does this scene rife with dramatic possibilities play out? With Hofheimer climactically tossing a pot of scalding hot coffee onto Williams' crotch so that he's forced to walk around for several scenes like someone who has had a pot of scalding hot coffee dumped onto his crotch. There were a million different ways the filmmakers could have gone; they went with the dick joke. Would you really expect anything more from screenwriting team Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz (City Slickers, Parenthood) and director Ivan Reitman? The only thing funny about Babaloo Mandel is his name. Reitman without Bill Murray is like Superman at a Kryptonite convention: His powers are useless and the results (My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Evolution, Legal Eagles) often dire.
Reitman's most impressive quality is his ability to get Bill Murray to say yes to projects. Otherwise, he's a journeyman at best, and Fathers' Day suffers from a fatal lack of personality behind the scenes. Like far too many comedies of the '80s and '90s, Fathers' Day was adapted from the work of Francis Veber, a prolific and evil French writer-director famous for the incredibly commercial, gimmicky, high-profile nature of his comedies. In other words, Veber made French comedies that felt like hacky American comedies that were then turned into genuine hacky American remakes like Three Fugitives, The Man With One Red Shoe, and Pure Luck. So a toxic cultural cross-communication is at play: Veber takes the worst of our comic film culture, then sells it back to us in mutated forms.
Veber conceits don't come much more contrived than the one that limply powers Fathers' Day. The film's premise first finds Natassja Kinski telling cynical lawyer Billy Crystal that he is the father of Hofheimer. Crystal is drinking a martini when he receives this unwelcome news. If you watch the scene closely, you can see Crystal desperately fighting the urge to do what comes naturally. He sips slowly and discreetly before piping up, "My son?" It takes every bit of strength in his being to resist the spit take right there at his lips. The universe is verily begging him to snort spit in comic disbelief, yet he cruelly denies it.
That's Crystal's performance in a nutshell: He inexplicably eschews the big, look-at-me-I'm-upstaging-Robin Williams gestures you'd expect, but he doesn't offer anything in their place. There are no spit takes, but there's also never any real sense of a character either; it's one of those films where a character's expensive suit and fancy briefcase do all the actor's work for him.
Williams exerts slightly more effort, in the sense that he overacts wildly and mugs up a storm after Kinski informs him that he has a son. In this clip, Williams, in a flurry of excitement over meeting the son that will invest his otherwise wasted life with meaning and substance, tries out wildly different personas in an apparent attempt to figure out which one will most appeal to a son about whom he knows nothing. From a storytelling point of view, this makes no sense. Why would Williams adopt entirely different outfits to accompany his new, instantly discarded personas? Then again, Williams the actor clearly sees life as a big dress rehearsal, and the scene gives audiences what studios imagine they want: Robin Williams performing the same caricatures of dusty old stereotypes he's been performing in some form or another for decades. At this point, those aren't characters so much as they're a nervous tic. It's not so much that Williams still thinks someone, anyone, is amused by the boombox hip-hop guy; it's just that he can't stop doing it. It's compulsive, a creative sickness.
In Man Of The Year, a previous Case File, Williams' manic antics reduced everyone around him to stitches. In its sole stab at realism, Fathers' Day has everyone treat Williams they way they would when confronted by a yammering, borderline-incoherent manchild discharging verbiage and antics at a rapid clip: with a combination of pity, confusion, and concern. To their credit, nobody in Fathers' Day appears to find Williams amusing, because he's not.
Hofheimer, it turns out, has absconded with a great deal of drug dealer Jared Harris' money so he can lavish his girlfriend with expensive jewelry, hoping that at some point she will stop fucking the lead singer of Sugar Ray and return to him. Mark McGrath makes a staggeringly unimpressive screen debut playing himself as a douchebag happy to steal some teenager's slutty underage girlfriend.
What little amusement I derived from Fathers' Day was rooted almost exclusively in fuzzy nostalgia for the mid-'90s, particularly the positing of Sugar Ray as the exemplar of edginess. I suspect that Fathers' Day really wanted to make Hofheimer a punk or a hippie, those two wonderfully cheap and easy caricatures, but inexplicably made him a fan of a band that was never remotely edgy, let alone a terrifying gateway into a shadowy subculture decent Americans knew well enough to stay far away from if they valued their lives and safety.
For product generated by previously commercially dependable organisms like Reitman, Mandel, Ganz, and Veber, Fathers' Day is a shockingly ineffective piece of comic craftsmanship. At one point Crystal implores Williams to use his ability to cry on cue to manipulate a woman at a harbor. But when Williams attempts to use sense memory, he taps into a funeral that made him laugh giddily as well as cry. Consequently, Crystal must appear to be close dancing madly in a circle with Williams in a circle to keep the woman at the dock from seeing that he's inexplicably laughing instead of crying. That's a lot of set-up for a gag that deflates instantly and lasts less than a minute.
Fathers' Day finds its characters boring and unlikable, so why should audiences feel differently? Hofheimer spends the entire film running away, and Williams and Crystal must constantly attend to the demands of an overstuffed screenplay with no room for subtlety, space, or characterization. What's more, Fathers' Day is singularly uninterested in fatherhood. Its conception of fatherly concern entails Williams and Crystal making Hofheimer's would-be girlfriend break up with him because, in her own indelible words, "Well, Scotty. You're boring. I liked you for a while. Now I can't stand looking at you. Even your voice makes me sick." This is the woman he has spent the entire film chasing. It's a good thing she's so transparently evil that even the likes of Williams and Crystal can see through her.
I am now going to show this clip of Mel Gibson appearing in the film as a piercer for no discernible reason.
Fathers' Day never takes anyone's emotions seriously. In the hands of a different set of writers and directors, it could have been a funny, dramatic meditation on the passage of time, family, responsibility, identity, and mortality. What does it mean to be a father of someone already so grown? What do you owe him? What have you missed? Fathers' Day isn't any more interested in those questions than it is in Williams' suicidal depression as anything beyond a tasteless plot point.
The film's emotional dishonesty carries over to a preposterous happy ending where Hofheimer separately tells Crystal and Williams that they're each his father despite knowing that his real dad is Bruce Greenwood, Kinski's long-suffering husband and a gifted actor who spends much of the film upside down in a Porta-Potty. That's super-embarrassing. What gifted actor wants Fathers' Day on his résumé? The Porta-Potty thing isn't too conducive to human dignity either.
Fathers' Day was ballyhooed as a comic answer to Heat, the iconic teaming of two legends who had never worked together before. Everything about Fathers' Day screamed "money": the giant stars, the subject, the screenwriters, the director, even producer Joel Silver, who generally shepherded much louder movies like Lethal Weapon. Yet audiences could see through it all the same. Fathers' Day reveals the sad creative fate of some projects born solely out of cynical commercial calculation: In attempting to appeal to everyone, it ends up appealing to no one.

William Byron(24) won the pole for the 61st annual Daytona 500 with a speed of 194.305. His time of 46.319 was just 36/1,000's of second faster than teammate Alex Boman(88). Bowman's lap of 46.355 translated to 194.153. In fact, Hendrick Motorsports cars took the top four positions. With Jimmy Johnson(48) 3rd fastest, and Chase Elliott(9) 4th.
Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is unique. Only the front row is determined based on single-car qualifying laps. The rest of the field is slotted based on their finish in Thursday evenings Gander RV Duels at Daytona.
The Mustangs of Clint Bowyer(14), Brad Keselowski(2), and Paul Menard(21) ran 8th, 9th, and 11th respectively and will start near the front in the Duels. There are 40 positions available for the "Great American Race," 42 cars are trying to qualify. That means two teams will pack up and go home after Thursday's races. Under NASCAR's charter system 36 teams holding a charter are guaranteed to make the race. That leaves 6 teams competing for the final 4 spots and they will have to race their way in.
The Lasco Press will be on site all week bringing you the latest from SpeedWeeks at Daytona. Stay tuned for recaps of all the action and pictures from the garage and pit road. Next Up: The Advance Auto Parts Clash, 75 Laps, 187.5 Miles for pre-season bragging rights.
Latest News: NASCAR's new stricter rules enforcement policy has already come into play at Daytona. Chase Elliott, Ty Dillon, and Austin Dillon all lost their car chiefs for the 500 after their cars failed pre-qualifying inspection twice. NASCAR is also conducting post-race inspections at the track this year. Previously the top finishing cars were taken to NASCAR's technical inspection facility in North Carolina and penalties were announced on Wednesday. Now results will be announced at the track and winners disqualified if they bend the rules.

More graduates and less alcohol consumption among young people in 2020
With a pandemic ongoing, the year 2020 reshaped the lives of young people in the Netherlands. In secondary education, relatively more students were promoted and almost all final examination students graduated. Fewer young people were at work; fewer girls between the ages of 12 and 18 used alcohol on occasion, and there was less excessive drinking among young men. The number of young people receiving youth care declined; on the other hand, the number of reported child abuse cases went up. Furthermore, compared to the previous year, in 2020 a smaller share of young people reported they were happy and satisfied with life. These are some of the results Statistics Netherlands (CBS) describes in the Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor 2021, published today.
Annual Report Youth Monitor 2021 Summary
The Annual Report Youth Monitor 2021 Summary presents an outline of the living situation of young people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Based on a number of social themes, attention is paid to developments and regional differences. At local level, a description of youth in the Caribbean Netherlands is included.
Maatschappelijke indicatoren | 29-10-2021 | 12:10
Mostly working parents in the Caribbean Netherlands
In 2018, most of the children living at home in the Caribbean Netherlands had working parents. Of the nearly 5.2 thousand children up to the age of 25 living at home on Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba, 92 percent have at least one working parent.
Labour | 01-07-2019 | 13:07
Many young smokers in the north
Between 2010 and 2014, over 14 percent of young Dutch between the ages of 12 and 20 were smoking. This percentage is particularly high in the north of the Netherlands. The share of young people smoking is highest in the province of Drenthe (19 percent), followed by the province of Groningen and the northern Netherlands region, each with 18 percent. The lowest share of smokers aged 12 to 20 is found in the middle region of the country. The municipal health care regions of Amsterdam, Utrecht and the Gooi- en Vecht area report a percentage share of 11 percent young smokers.
Low labour participation among young people in Groningen
Many municipalities in Groningen province have a very low employment rate among young people aged 15 to 27. Likewise, many young people in the larger cities in the provinces of South and North Holland are unemployed. Labour participation rates among young people in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam are 59 percent, 52 percent and 53 percent respectively, considerably lower than the national average of over 62 percent.
Relatively more children of families on income support in the big cities
At the end of 2014, the Netherlands had almost 230 thousand children aged 0 to 18 years in families relying on income support benefits, which equals 6.5 percent of all children living with their parents. The percentage shares were considerably higher in Rotterdam (18.2 percent) and Amsterdam (14.4 percent). The Hague also featured in the top 10 of municipalities with children raised on income support, 12.3 percent. Utrecht was not included in the top 10, but ranked above average with 8.1 percent.
Youth unemployment further up
Youth unemployment among 15-22 year-olds has risen more substantially in 2009 than among 23-64 year-olds. Unemployment rose rapidly among young people without a basic qualification.


Recent news on Mysimba said that the drug got approval in EU. Obese European people knew that similar drug – Contrave was approved in the USA, but they have not had the opportunity to buy it yet.
The efficiency and safety of Mysimba were approved by EMA, CHMP, NHS and other Medicinal Regulatory Authorities. The detailed information on safety and efficiency of Mysimba was published in European Public Assessment Report (EU) and Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
Mysimba medication was approved in EU after it had passed all clinical trials successfully. It was confirmed that Mysimba effectively suppresses the appetite, speeds up fat burning and reduces the risk of high cholesterol, hypertension and other concomitant illnesses.
Lately, not so many weight loss drugs have been approved in Europe and some of them, for example, Phentermine have been withdrawn from the market. The European commission decided that benefits of using Phentermine did not outweigh the risk of negative reaction.
Mysimba was approved quite fast. This happened because Mysimba causes side effects much rarely than other weight loss pills do. This refers firstly to cardiovascular side effects, like hypertension and arrhythmia.
Mysimba appetite suppressant was approved for treatment of exogenous obesity or overweight. Mysimba, as well as any other slimming pills, is prescribed in combination with changed lifestyle – balanced diets and physical exercises.
Unlike Phentermine and other anorexigenic medications, Mysimba is approved for a long-term anti-obesity therapy. However, after each year of use of Mysimba pills, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriateness of further anti-obesity therapy with this drug.
The launch of Mysimba sales is expected in several European countries in the end of 2015. The developer and producer of new medication – Mysimba is Orexigen Therapeutics and it does its best to make it happen as soon as possible.
According the latest data, Mysimba is not approved in the UK. If the situation does not change, then obese British people will be able to buy Mysimba weight loss pills no sooner than in 2016-2017, unless they order these pills online.
Contrave is successfully sold in the USA and helps obese Americans getting rid of extra kilograms and changing their lifestyle. Mysimba is a generic of Contrave and it will soon appear in Europe.


Last year I made a new pond. You can see the whole story on the left side bar. The post was: It Took 3 Ponds. My ponds have always been very clear, so I decided it would be neat to line the inside of my 6ft x 11ft –24" to 33" deep pond with heavy stacked stones. I have very happy fish that stay in the pond year round. A pond expert told me that stacked stones would create an area for debris to accumulate. Last week some above normal temperatures gave Ted and I the opportunity to pump the pond out. I carefully netted the fish and put them into a large container with some of their original water. Then I walked in and proceeded to lift out the rocks. Ted helped me with a couple of the really big ones. I now have biceps and triceps and "bottomceps" from walking in and out of the pond. It was chaos with all the rock surrounding the pond. Ted took a picture, but I told him I would not blog such a messy scene. So what to do with so much rock. I made 3 raised beds for veggies and dry stacked the rest into a partial fence.
Yes, this morning we awoke to snow. But, it didn't last.
This raised bed is in the front yard. I will be adding composted buffalo manure that I will be getting from a rancher friend. Yea! This is the year of the manure. Ted and I will be married 29 years in May and I told him that I want lots of manure as an anniversary gift. :) Notice the dry stacked little wall in the back. I started this little wall with bits of rock I'd find around the yard. In the country sometimes you will see circular stacks of flat rocks. We call them "sheepherders monuments"..
This bed is on the side yard. Notice the bit of rhubarb trying to get started. Ted loves rhubarb pie and I make sure to make him some.
One more raised bed made from those rocks that were in the pond. This is my Ventomatic – It is a cold frame. It automatically opens up when the inside temperature reads 72 degrees. I have had this for many, many years. I bring it out in the spring and use to to grow seedlings and harden off plants. This year I have brocolli started inside. I plan to plant it into medium clay pots and sink them into the soil. I am also planning to soon start some swiss chard and spinach in this cold frame.
Jim - you made me laugh! We really do live in the wild west. Wind Cave National Park is about 10 miles away. There the deer and the buffalo roam. Ranching is one of the main occupations around here and some ranchers raise buffalo.
Dear Gloria, My goodness, you have been exceedingly busy but what satisfaction you must now feel at a job well done. It is often the thought of these kinds of major projects which is worse than actually carrying them out, I always think. Also, I am a great believer in utilising whatever material comes to hand - you are making very good use of your surplus rock.
A wedding anniversary gift of buffalo manure is, to say the least, certainly different. But then, dear Gloria, you are most obviously a dedicated gardener so all is readily explained!
My warmest wishes to you both for a very happy and peaceful Easter.
Hi Gloria, I love the "sheepherders monuments".
Hi, Gloria! And, Happy Easter!
My last anniversary I asked for some boulders, so my husband probably wouldn't bat an eye if I asked for manure. Can't wait till the snow melts and I can get started on all my projects. Frankly, I could use the exercise.
Hi Gloria, snow! I'm glad it didn't last! I love all your rocks. You have certainly been doing some heavy work, and soon you will see the fruit of your labor. Your pond and arbor are beautiful even in the snow, and I am looking forward to seeing them with everything green and blooming.
Kate, how big is that pond going to be? I look forward to seeing it in person this summer.
Deborah, it snowed a bit again this afternoon. I was actually glad. I really needed to clean house.
You have a most charming home and garden. I love the arbor, the pond, the garden house, everything.

About Uganda
Women's Empowerment Conferences
Youth Ablaze Conferences
Pastors' and Leaders' Conferences
Each year over 1,000 of Uganda's impoverished and vulnerable women gather at the four day Women's Empowerment Conference to learn about their worth in Christ. Many have been told since childhood that they do not deserve an education and their only purpose in life is to marry a polygamous man to bear children.
Never having heard the message of salvation, these women travel tens of miles on foot with children to attend this conference. They are greeted by a team of both Ugandan and US women teaching on topics such as:
• Biblical marriage and motherhood
• Overcoming fear and insecurity
• Identity as daughters of God
Women's lives are being transformed by the teaching Women's Empowerment. And remarkably, a gift of just $14 allows one woman to attend this four-day, life-changing conference. Please contact Anna Latshaw for more information.
Join a Mission
Youth Ablaze
Each year over 9,000 of Africa's children and young adults convene at Kampala International Christian Centre for five days to learn how to build and lead Godly families, businesses, and communities. These youth, ranging from 15-35 years old, are drawn to this high-impact conference from Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Congo, Tanzania, and Sudan. They gather to learn about "Igniting Kingdom-Minded Entrepreneurs" from an impressive array of African and American speakers.
Christ, your personal Lord and personal Savior
The 3 secrets of every successful entrepreneur
The impact of your spouse on your business
What to look for in a husband
Raising Godly children
Education as a requirement of success
At the end of the conference, each participant receives a Certificate of Completion that will give him or her an advantage when seeking local employment. In addition, during breakout sessions, our staff identifies several dozen promising young leaders. These individuals are then discipled and trained to become our ministry's next generation of leadership.
Despite coming from impoverished communities, most of the 9,000 attendees scrape together the $6 registration fee by working for months at odd jobs. While charging a registration fee may seem harsh from an American perspective, paying this fee provides the young adults with desperately needed self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. This also off-sets approximately half of the conference expense. In fact, at the conclusion last year, sixty participants gave towards the 2017 conference!
The balance of the budget is funded through local Ugandan businesses who believe in the transformative nature of this conference and through gifts from our US partners. Please prayerfully consider joining us in prayer and giving toward this life-changing event.
For more information or to discuss joining our Youth Ablaze mission team, please contact Vera Dwyer.
Because of oppressive dictators, Ugandans did not have the right to worship freely until 1986. Since that time, tens of thousands of Ugandan churches have been established, most under the leadership of young, untrained pastors. Even though these leaders pour out their lives for the sake of the gospel, most receive no compensation due to abject poverty and most have extremely limited Biblical understanding. During our semi-annual Pastors' and Leaders' Conferences (led by our sister ministry, Messengers of Hope), hundreds of rural pastors gather to receive vision, equipping and encouragement. Aside from practical teaching, many of these pastors desperately need personal ministry and prayer as they cope with poverty, carry the burdens of their flock, and struggle between starkly contrasting Biblical and societal views on marriage and family. For more information please contact David Hacker.

Subsequently he produced the Grab This Fish Tale comic book (https://www.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/FishTale_web_0.pdf) to advise Calumet anglers on smart fish consumption. Like these previous projects, the Calumet National Heritage Area initiative aims to improve local quality of life by building on the existing strengths and resources of local communities and the wider region.

Humor > Pop Culture > Mario: Twenty-Five Years In Pop Culture
Mario: Twenty-Five Years In Pop Culture
By Stew Miller on September 16th, 2010
Ah, birthdays. Aren't they the greatest? Folks getting a year older and celebrating with presents and cake… just spectacular. So, what do ya do if you're a little Video Game Plumber in a red shirt and blue overalls with perhaps the greatest mustache in history who just so happens to be turning 25? Well, you celebrate with a look at 25 instances he's infiltrated pop culture, that's how! Well, just to be perfectly frank here, Mario himself has been around since 1981 when he was affectionately named after what he did, JUMPman. Then, in 1983 he was first called Mario when he appeared in Donkey Kong, Jr. (incidentally the one and only time he was the antagonist rather than the protagonist) and then, in 1985 he finally earned the moniker "Super". This is the actual birthday we're celebrating here. Hey, why not? People get Knighted, others get Doctorates, an still others achieve Military Titles, so why not an anniversary for being called Super? Regardless of what you think, this is what's happening here. So grab a can of Mario Pepsi and check out the myriad ways Mario has garnered his Pop Culture Icon status.
In Comic Strips
Yes there are about a thousand different Mario-related comics out there making folks laugh into their cereal, but I chose three of the more laid back, slightly less pornographic of the ilk. Still pretty funny though.
As Grub
Yes, that's right, you can EAT Mario! A cookie, cake, fruit snacks… it's all there. You could conceivably create an entire meal -albeit really unhealthy- out of nothing but Mario! Delicious!
As Wearables
From ties to costumes to buttons to socks, you, too can show off your love for Mario! Yes, I realize a few of those don't specifically show the chunky Italian, but they do represent bits of the games he's made famous!
Around the House?
Wow, a professionally knitted Super Mario Brothers blanket? Yes please! And what better way to scare away the evil dreams of those maniacal Shy Guys than with Mushroom night lights! I can finally sleep!
And Everything Else
A Mario NASCAR race car? And who could possibly forget the old Super Mario Brothers Super Show? It just goes to show, and in only 25 different way, how a little Nintendo Video Game character can take over Pop Culture. Here's to 25 more! Years, not stuff. Some of this crap is ridiculous.
