Indeed, European leaders still hope that Russia will finally abide by a ceasefire signed in February in Minsk, Belarus, which called for the removal of foreign troops from Ukraine, the pulling back of heavy weapons, and the disbanding of "illegal groups." So far the accord has failed miserably. Why should anyone be surprised? Russia denies it sent troops or weapons into Ukraine or created the illegal groups that began the war.
The White House denounces Russian aggression in Ukraine — Vice President Biden has declared that the conflict is "a test for the West." Yet President Barack Obama apparently still (fruitlessly) hopes for greater Russian cooperation on Iran or Syria, and shows little stomach for challenging Putin's aggression in Ukraine.
Obama sent Secretary of State John Kerry to meet Putin in Sochi last month, where Kerry reportedly showed him photos of Russian air defenses and other weapons in eastern Ukraine as proof the United States knew what he was up to. But Kerry didn't make the photos public, and Russian officials dismissed the NATO evidence as misinformation. No surprise: The state-controlled press billed the Kerry visit as a capitulation.
Clearly, the Kremlin feels it can continue to destabilize Ukraine — and to deny that it is directing the war there. By refusing to confront those lies more directly, the West plays into the Kremlin's hands.
Even without access to Western satellite photos, it is possible to pierce the fog of Kremlin denials. The Atlantic Council, an independent Washington think tank, has produced a report, called "Hiding in Plain Sight: Putin's War in Ukraine," that uses publicly available sources to counter Russian propaganda. Using Google's Street View, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, satellite photographs, Vkontakte (Russia's Facebook), and Russian documents and media reports, it documents the role of Russian troops and weapons in Ukraine. It also contains interviews with Russian soldiers who have fought in Ukraine.
The report's purpose, says Herbst, who now directs the council's Eurasia program, is "to help stir a stronger response to very serious Russian aggression."
"Western political leaders should speak clearly about … Russian forces fighting in Ukraine and the Kremlin's direction of the campaign," the report says. "To do otherwise buttresses Putin's attempt to obfuscate Russia's direct role in the conflict."
In other words, failing to confront Putin's lies about Ukraine only encourages him to do worse.
This report adds to the ample public evidence of Russia's involvement. After denying any role in the invasion of Crimea, Putin admitted the famous "little green men" in unmarked uniforms were Russian soldiers. And one of the first leaders of the "rebellion" in eastern Ukraine, a Russian FSB (intelligence) colonel named Igor Girkin, has said publicly that the rebels are "the Kremlin's creation."
The report is also buttressed by a dossier compiled by the late Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov just before his death. He was shot dead in Moscow in February — a killing his friends believe was commissioned by the Kremlin. Nemtsov listed 220 Russian soldiers who died fighting inside Ukraine, but the number may be much higher.
Putin is clearly worried lest his public learn that Russia is fighting in Ukraine (polls show that Russians don't want their sons dying abroad). State-controlled media report nothing on soldiers' deaths in Ukraine, and Russian journalists seeking such information have been beaten up. Putin just declared that information about soldiers' deaths in special operations, in "peacetime," must be kept secret.
So it's time to make clear – to Western publics and Russians alike – that Putin unequivocally is running the war in Ukraine and that Russian troops can no longer hide in plain sight.

Q: Where is @AroundInvoke interceptor invoked? I'm doing some test examples with java, and I come up with an example that uses @AroundInvoke. The question is that I don't know exactly where is the method invoked.
This test makes an invocation where it calls post() method, but I don't really know how that works (Using Interceptors explanation).
@Test
public void crudtest() {
    JsonObjectBuilder todoBuilder = Json.createObjectBuilder();
    JsonObject todoToCreate = todoBuilder.
            add("caption", "implement").
            add("priority", 10).
            build();

    //The next post execute, invoke the method
    Response postResponse = this.provider.target().request().
            post(Entity.json(todoToCreate));
}

The order of invocation is BoundaryLogger and then MonitorSink
BoundaryLogger.java
...
public class BoundaryLogger {

    @Inject
    Event<CallEvent> monitoring;

    @AroundInvoke
    public Object logCall(InvocationContext ic) throws Exception {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        try {
            return ic.proceed();
        } finally {
            long duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
            monitoring.fire(new CallEvent(ic.getMethod().getName(), duration));
        }
    }
}

MonitorSink
@Singleton
@ConcurrencyManagement(ConcurrencyManagementType.BEAN)
public class MonitorSink {

    @Inject
    LogSink LOG;

    public void onCallEvent(@Observes CallEvent event){
        LOG.log(event.toString());
    }
}

A: I figured out, by doing an other interceptor example.
@AroundInvoke just define an interceptor that it will be invoked by the class that has @Interceptor(name_class.class).
In my case, this was the code I was missing to look at it.
ToDoManager.java
@Stateless
@Interceptors(BoundaryLogger.class)
public class ToDoManager {

    @PersistenceContext
    EntityManager em;

    public ToDo findById(long id) {
        return this.em.find(ToDo.class,id);
    }

    public void delete(long id) {
        try {
            ToDo reference = this.em.getReference(ToDo.class, id);
            this.em.remove(reference);
        } catch (EntityNotFoundException e) {
            //we want to remove it...
        }
    }

    public List<ToDo> all() {
        return this.em.createNamedQuery(ToDo.findAll, ToDo.class).getResultList();
    }

    public ToDo save(ToDo todo) {
        return this.em.merge(todo);
    }

    public ToDo updateStatus(long id, boolean done) {
        ToDo todo = this.findById(id);
        if(todo == null){
            return null;
        }
        todo.setDone(done);
        return todo;
    }

}

The @AroundInvoke annotation is used to designate interceptor methods for managed object methods.
I hope, that this could help someone else!

Chicken Gizzards: It is very bizarre and unusual to see many foods that are common in many countries labeled in the US as "special day foods." It is also interesting that dishes that are from many cities in the US considered specialty foods and not cooked at home as well.
Many types of meat and seafood are commonly and imperfectly used at dinner time. I say imperfectly because many people would cook the same food the same way all the time. They would not even try to change the recipe.
I am amazed when friends and co-workers would tell me that they would not cook certain foods at home and would rather eat them at restaurants. I have learned that Chicken Gizzards is widely consumed in the South which is why it is surprising that it is not more frequently eaten since it is available in many supermarkets.
Only people from certain countries will eat these parts of the chicken. I rarely and I mean rarely hear chicken gizzards being cooked for dinner. I also hardly see people buying a pack of chicken gizzards. As it is not commonly eaten in many homes, it is mostly eaten at restaurants and presented as a specialty dish from Latin America. It is not in my opinion – you can cook it any way you want, and it would be your creation.
Many may consider Chicken Gizzards as food for the poor because it is somewhat cheap to buy in supermarkets. But again, these same individuals would order the same dish and not aware of the subliminal message behind the dish. The message is how it is served and most importantly how it is described on the menu.
"Chicken Gizzards cooked and braised in wine etc.…" is an example of a description that may be used to describe how tasty the dish is and a way to focus on what the eyes are reading and how the message is delivered to the brain. Imposing way to increase our buying impulses and broaden our knowledge of food. I say it is the jackpot for restaurants that have mastered the way to describe their dishes.
Don't get fooled or intimidated by the fancy wording. Many dishes can be made at home or should I say most restaurant meals. All you need is the proper ingredients and precise measurements. So the next time you eat at a restaurant try to figure out the ingredients and remake the dish.
You will be astonished at the results. Remember, for the ones who are cooks, and your kitchen is your domain. Try my Chicken Gizzards with Onions you will be surprised at what you can create. Enjoy!
Note: By pre-cleaned chicken, gizzards to save time. Remove any left over the membrane and clean with lime juice or vinegar then rinse with cold water.
In a large bowl add cleaned chicken gizzards, garlic, parsley, black pepper, salt, ground sage, cumin, lime or lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Mix all ingredient and let marinate for about 30 minutes.
In a pressure cooker add gizzards with marinade and enough water to cover meat. Cook for 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
In a skillet, add olive oil and tomato paste. Stir while cooking to blend the tomato paste with the oil. Add gizzards and let cook with tomato paste so they could get brown a little - about 3 - 4 minutes on low heat. Add onions and cook for 2 more minutes. Add about 1/2 to 1 cup leftover water from boiled gizzards and more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and hot pepper flakes to taste. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes and serve with rice and salad.

Know the Different Types of Visas For Australia
admin May 27, 2022 no Comments
A visa is an administration endorsed license to enter, remain and leave a nation conceded to outside nationals who wish to visit the concerned country. It is viewed as the section pass to a country which is required regardless of the idea of the visit. Very much like practically all first world nations, an Australian visa is basic for an outsider who wishes to visit the country. Clearly, the Public authority of Australia has isolated the applications for the nation's visas relying on the nature and residency of the visit.
Visas in Australia are lawfully named follows –
Moment Traveler Visa
These visas are given by the Australian Division of Migration and Boundary Security for times of 3, 6 and a year. The residency of the visa relies upon the idea of the visit. The Moment Traveler Visas are by and large given to guests who bear the sole inspiration of business or come as sightseers. It is fundamental for guests to hold a legitimate identification and is frequently provided with an Australian estimated time of arrival which represents Electronic Travel Authority. The estimated time of arrival visa electronically interfaces with the guest's identification for a decent span of time. Migration specialists are consequently, gave earlier information about a guest's visa status.
These visas are given to voyagers that utilization Australia for the purpose of travel; say in the event of a delay or on the other hand assuming a guest expects to enlist in a trader naval force or boat team in the country. Travel visas are by and large allowed for a term of something like 72 hours.
Working Occasion Visas
These visas are intended for individuals inside the age of 18 and 30 years who wish to go and work in Australia for a year. Working Occasion visas are especially arranged towards catering drop-year voyagers who wish to investigate and simultaneously, work their method for enhancing their costs.

Understudy Visas
The Division of Movement and preços de Intercâmbio na Austrália Line Assurance are especially wary while giving Understudy visas. The public authority allows a visa to a voyaging understudy solely after the accommodation and acknowledgment of an exhaustive, itemized investigation of the concerned understudy's course of study and monetary sponsorship.

I hate IPA?s, but this is probably the best I have had. I gave it three stars which for an IPA is about as high as it gets.
Awesome beer. Lots of citrus flavor backed by a balanced mild malt. Very similar to Captains Daughter.
A medium bodied, well balanced citrusy IPA. I enjoyed it during a family visit to Atlanta over the holidays.
A very nice, well balanced and easy drinking IPA. Leans to the fruity and refreshing side.
Juicy with perfect balance of hops. Literally the closest thing have had to perfection in a citrus IPA.


CHURCH, WHERE ART THOU ?
[Gen 3:9-10 KJV] 9 And the LORD God called unto THE CHURCH, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And CHURCH said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
[Rev 3:15-22 KJV] 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Where is the church in today's culture? Adam, who is the representative of every living person sinned against the Lord God. By his disobedience the whole of mankind are now born in sin.
[Rom 5:12-14 KJV] 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
When we believe the gospel, our sins are forgiven. The Lord imputes His righteousness unto us as the gift of God, seals us with His Holy Spirit unto future glory. The resurrection from the dead in glorified bodies is the hope of all the saints. Yet, many churches seem to be AWOL / MISSING IN ACTION. The church, which is the Body of Christ, is the pillar and ground of the truth. This means that we are to be steadfast, unmovable concerning the truth of the word of God.
Jn.17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Kentucky statute that had mandated every public school classroom have the Ten Commandments posted on its walls.
Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision issued in 1973 by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of the constitutionality of laws that criminalized or restricted access to abortions. We have murdered over 60 million babies since.
In times past when Kings ruled the earth, their word was law. They did as they pleased. Some were extremely brutal, cruel. When then the U.S.A. was born with it's constitution, Bill of Rights, government of the people, by the people, for the people, this was one of the greatest achievements in world history. A government governed by law: a Constitutional Republic. In this republic men are elected to office through voting of the general public. For this to work there needed to be a certain amount of education. Voters would have to have a grasp of the political issues at hand and make a judgment on what they believed was best for the Nation. An ignorant voter is dangerous to the republic, as they are easily manipulated, deceived. This is the condition of America at this very moment.
How did we get to this place? To answer this we must look at it from a Biblical worldview. Mankind as a sinner from the fall of Adam is hopelessly bound to immorality. The wages of sin is death. Rom.6:23. Throughout the first Covenant, there were strict laws punishable by death. Today these laws sound barbaric. What today's modern man needs to understand, is that a strong hard hand must be applied to law breakers. When the law is lax, it's enforcement impeded, lawlessness takes hold of society. Today murderers are not executed in many states. Crimes of drug dealers, gun runners, pedophilia, treason, etc. need to be dealt with in the harshest measures, including execution. This is moral, this is right, it is just and good that men should be restrained from doing evil. Job 34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Provoked Husband to Psycarpax
Provoked Husband The, a comedy by Cibber and Vanbrugh. The "provoked husband" is lord Townly, justly annoyed at the conduct of his young wife, who wholly neglects her husband and her home duties for a life of gambling and dissipation. The husband, seeing no hope of amendment, resolves on a separate maintenance; but then the lady's eyes are opened—she promises amendment, and is forgiven.
(This comedy was Vanbrugh's Journey to London, left unfinished at his death. Cibber took it, completed it, and brought it out under the title of The Provoked Husband, 1728.)
Provoked Wife (The, lady Brute, the wife of sir John Brute, who, by his ill manners, brutality, and neglect, is "provoked" to intrigue with one Constant. The intrigue is not of a very serious nature, since it is always interrupted before it makes head. At the conclusion, sir John says—
Surly I may be, Stubborn I am not,
For I have both forgiven and forgot.
—Sir F. Vanbrugh (1697).
Provost of Bruges (The), a tragedy based on "The Serf," in Leitch Ritchie's Romance of History. Published anonymously in 1836; the author is S. Knowles. (For the plot, see Bertulphe, p. 115.)

When Norman "the sea-captain" made love to Violet, Mistress Prudence remonstrated, "What will the countess say if I allow myself to see a stranger speaking to her ward?" Norman clapped a guinea on her left eye, and asked, "What see you now?" "Why, nothing with my left eye," she answered, "but the right has still a morbid sensibility." "Poor thing!" said Norman; "this golden ointment soon will cure it. What see you now, my Prudence?" "Not a soul," she said.—Lord Lytton: The Sea-Captain (1839).

Joseph Prudhomme is the synthesis of bourgeois imbecility; radiant, serene, and self satisfied; letting fall from his fat lips "one weak, washy, everlasting flood" of peurile aphorisms and inane circumlocutions. He says, "The car of the state floats on a precipice." "This sword is the proudest day of my life."—Henri Monnier: Grandeur et Décadence de Joseph Prudhomme (1852).
No creation of modern fiction ever embodied a phase of national character with such original power as that of "M. Joseph Prudhomme."… "Podsnap," his English parallel, is more self-contained, more ponderous and less polite. …In 1857 Monnier turned his piece into a bulky volume, entitled Vie et Opinions de M. Joseph Prudhomme.

The love-scene between jack Bannister [1760–1836], as "Tattle," and "Miss Prue," when this latter part was acted by Mrs. Jordan, was probably never surpassed in rich natural comedy.—F. Reynolds.
Prunes and Prisms, the words which give the lip the right plie of the highly aristocratic mouth, as Mrs. General tells Amy Dorrit.

Climate of Hope: How Cities, Businesses, and Citizens Can Save the Planet
By: Michael Bloomberg and Carl Pope
From Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former head of the Sierra Club Carl Pope comes a manifesto on how the benefits of taking action on climate change are concrete, immediate, and immense. They explore climate change solutions that will make the world healthier and more prosperous, aiming to begin a new type of conversation on the issue that will spur bolder action by cities, businesses, and citizens—and even, someday, by Washington."Climate of Hope is an inspiring must read." —Former Vice President Al Gore, Chairman of The Climate Reality Project"Climate change threatens to reshape the future of our world's population centers. Bloomberg and Pope have been leaders on fortifying our cities against this threat, and their book proves that victory is possible—and imperative." —Leonardo DiCaprio"If Trump is looking for a blueprint, he could not do better than to read a smart new book, Climate of Hope." —Thomas Friedman in The New York Times~The 2016 election left many people who are concerned about the environment fearful that progress on climate change would come screeching to a halt. But not Michael Bloomberg and Carl Pope. Bloomberg, an entrepreneur and former mayor of New York City, and Pope, a lifelong environmental leader, approach climate change from different perspectives, yet they arrive at similar conclusions. Without agreeing on every point, they share a belief that cities, businesses, and citizens can lead—and win—the battle against climate change, no matter which way the political winds in Washington may shift. In Climate of Hope, Bloomberg and Pope offer an optimistic look at the challenge of climate change, the solutions they believe hold the greatest promise, and the practical steps that are necessary to achieve them. Writing from their own experiences, and sharing their own stories from government, business, and advocacy, Bloomberg and Pope provide a road map for tackling the most complicated challenge the world has ever faced. Along the way, they turn the usual way of thinking about climate change on its head: from top down to bottom up, from partisan to pragmatic, from costs to benefits, from tomorrow to today, and from fear to hope.

Ford prepares for a water-scarce future
Brooke Barton
Monday, June 17, 2013 - 5:00am
Helen Keller said, "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." Keller may have been blind, but she had an outsized vision for what a better world could look like. An early feminist and human rights advocate, she painted a picture through her writing and speeches of a very different and positive future for women and the poor in early 20th-century America. It was a radical and arguably outlandish vision for its time.
Her words were on my mind Friday during a workshop last week at Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn, Mich. Ford brought together some 20 of its executives with some outside stakeholders, kicking off a year-long effort to deepen its water strategy.
We considered scenarios that posed "what if" questions about the future. For instance, what could happen to the safety of our drinking water supplies in a scenario of global economic collapse and low public investment? What could happen to food production patterns and global trade if governments started rationing water allocations for agriculture? And ultimately, how does a company adapt and thrive in that kind of future?
The automotive leader has a strong track record of water use reductions in its manufacturing operations and an aggressive goal to reduce water use even further – by 30 percent per vehicle by 2015. But many at Ford and a number of its stakeholders (including the company's Ceres stakeholder advisory team) see growing water competition and scarcity as a potential economic game-changer – with big implications for the auto industry.
The reasons might not be obvious at first blush.
"We're a company headquartered near one of the world's largest bodies of freshwater – the Great Lakes – so it would be easy for us take the resource for granted," said John Viera, director of Ford's sustainability group.
But water is critical to a number of manufacturing steps, including vehicle painting, where large volumes of water are traditionally used to rinse cars, ensuring that not a speck of dust ruins that perfect paint job. Water use also can be high in the automotive supply chain, particularly in making raw materials such as steel and aluminum. Ford also has identified that the energy sources used to power its vehicles (gasoline, electric power or biofuels) play an incredibly important role in determining the water footprint of its vehicles, because of the large amounts of water required for fuel production and power generation.

Why use scenarios? For corporate decision-makers seeking to steer their organizations through the straits of extreme uncertainty, seeing around the bend is a much-valued competency. More often then not, they look forward by looking back – relying on life (and organizational) experience as well as sensible forecasts and models that use the past to inform future deployment of time and resources.
But our sensible forecasts and models often put probability-based guardrails on what is "likely." These guardrails become blinders; after all, we are lousy at anticipating low probability wild-card events that can disrupt the global economy (think 9/11 or the Japanese tsunami of 2011).
When it comes to water resources, our reliance on rigid models holds very special risks. We are entering an age of extreme uncertainty about our water resources. Climate change in particular has unhinged the water cycle from predictable averages of precipitation, humidity and temperature, and upended old assumptions about where, when and in what condition water will be accessible. (Note that this spring, unprecedented drought combined with river dredging brought Lake Michigan and Lake Huron to record lows, putting barges that deliver steel to the auto industry at risk from running aground.)
And so water availability has entered the realm of the wildcard.
The Ford workshop was a series of creative, interactive discussions built around four scenarios of global economic growth or collapse, and resource constraints. We embroidered stories about fresh water in its many dimensions: social, economic, political, technological and environmental. Some of our story lines seemed far-fetched, others quite plausible, such as these two:
"Out of concern for the water-requirements of meat-eating, the Chinese government establishes a mandatory 'one-chicken policy.'"
"Water refugees create new instability and terrorism concerns in the Middle East."
My favorite scenario was called "Full Throttle." (Click on the image at right for the full picture.) In this scenario, the world effectively manages water constraints with well-functioning democracies, the full cost pricing of water and economic growth that reduces income inequality. It is a world characterized by innovation and universal access to clean water, as well as transparency and accountability from the private and public sectors alike. In short, it's a vision for our world that Helen Keller would be proud of.

Australian researchers have created a free educational app that attempts to demonstrate how the inner ear balance system works and its relationship with eye movement. The app, called aVOR (angular Vestibular Ocular Reflex), is available for download to tablets and smartphones.
The neat thing about this app is that one can manually toggle settings specifying whether there is dysfunction present and where it is present. Once settings have been set, one can than see how it affects eye movements.
The app does use a device's accelerometer such that moving the device also simultaneously move's the avatar's head the same way. One can than see how the eyes respond to such head movements on the device's screen AND see which semicircular canals in the labyrinth is activated or suppressed.
Although this app is principally made for healthcare students and professionals, patients can certainly use it as well.

Of course, one can also watch videos to learn how the inner ear balance system works.

SEMISONIC - Feeling Strangely Fine
Here it is. You've found it. The only podcast on the planet dedicated to Semisonic's debut 1998 album Feeling Strangely Fine. So why are we hitting this overwhelmingly forgotten offering from a 90's one-hit-wonder? Well, because Dan Wilson is GREAT and Dan Hanzus made this his dealer's choice (er, selection.) Animal crackers not included.
AEROSMITH - Get A Grip
On April 20th 1993, America's Creepy Uncle and his friends unleashed a radio-friendly long-player that would go on to sell over 20 million copies AND awaken young Dan's sexuality in ways he never could've imagined. On this episode, Bob, Dan, and a cricket try to get a grip on how a 70's rock band reinvented themselves in the 90's and managed to turn Alicia Silverstone into a superstar along the way. It's amazing.
BLUR - Parklife
Our Britpop Patreon Poll wasn't even close: Parklife destroyed the competition. Travis, Pulp, and Supergrass couldn't hold a candle to this classic LP from the U.K. But how will it play in a garage occupied by two unabashed Oasis-stans? Mr. Gorrilaz and his merry band of posh Essex boys are about to find out.


The positive buzz "Pacific Rim" cultivated prior to release shouldn't surprise anyone. Writer-director Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy," "Pan's Labyrinth") is a beloved figure amongst much of the filmgoing community, and the picture's shameless approach to pre-adolescent wish fulfillment seems to have struck a chord with that same crowd. In fact, just the idea of a big-budget robot versus monster movie seemed to be enough to win over many pundits, and many were carrying the film's water on principle alone. How wrong could an intrinsically talented filmmaker go in pitting man-made robots against a race of otherworldly monsters? In two words? Very wrong.
Charlie Hunnam, with all the charisma of a limestone wall, stars as Raleigh Becket, a Jaeger (giant robot) pilot in the fight against the Kaiju (giant monsters). Del Toro makes the insane decision to skip over the Kaiju's origins via montage, leaving any hint of mystery out of the equation. In fact, we're treated to a full-scale fight sequence before the opening titles. Thusly, what we know about or see of the Kaiju barely changes over the course of the next 2 hours, making it even more miraculous that Charlie Day is able to steal the show as Dr. Newton Geiszler, a scientist-slash-Kaiju-enthusiast – more on him later.
Also along for the ride: Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost, the comically stoic Jaeger commander, Rinko Kikuchi as Mako, Raleigh's combat partner and half-baked love interest, and Ron Perlman as Hannibal Chau, a mythical gangster who makes a living on the black market by harvesting and selling Kaiju organs. The entire cast seems to be unsure as to what kind of movie they're in, but it's hard to assign blame because the pic's various subplots are startlingly disjointed. Half of the film is played deadly serious, while the other half swerves back and forth between camp and broad comedy. Clifton Collins Jr., an undeniably talented character actor, turns in one of the year's worst performances as a laughably over-eager Jaeger technician. But it's impossible to say where the character went wrong – whether it was in the writing process, in del Toro's direction, or in Collins' choices on-set.
The aforementioned Charlie Day, accompanied by a rival scientist played by Burn Gorman (who acts as though he's in a real world episode of "Scooby Doo"), gets nearly all of the film's best moments, sharing much of his screen time with the always watchable Perlman. As the monsters are naturally more interesting than their mechanical adversaries, Day's character is our much-needed portal into the world of the Kaiju, and his dexterous performance – along with the few glimpses we get of the monsters in broad daylight – are highlights.
If you're only concerned with the action scenes, they're fine, if not exactly revolutionary. The onslaught of CGI, while very well done, is just as exhausting as it was in Michael Bay's "Transformers" films, except here there's even more of it. Entire scenes are comprised entirely of special effects with no sense of gravity to any of it. While del Toro has a better visual eye than most of his contemporaries, it's still difficult to make sense of machines that don't and couldn't exist interact with monsters the size of skyscrapers. While Spielberg went to great lengths with "Jurassic Park" to maintain a sense of scale (and intrigue, and intellect, etc.), del Toro doesn't seem to care that we believe any of what we're seeing, because – robots and monsters!
"Pacific Rim" is yet another victim of its own hype, a bulky, balky summer actioner that demands we check our brains at the door for fear that we might recognize its flimsiness. It practically shouts its audience into compliance only to spend the following two hours celebrating itself as the ultimate realization of those rainy Saturday afternoons that many of us spent playing with action figures. Except, action figures are meant to stoke imaginations, not replace them. As well intentioned as Guillermo's del Toro's latest may be, it's a lousy stand-in for actual childhood memories.

Who Will Rein In Facebook? Challengers Are Lining Up
Pressure is building, at home and abroad, as powerful outsiders refuse to wait for Facebook to solve its own problems
Facebook's role in the spread of divisive messages and outright falsehoods on the platform has led to some soul-searching. Shown, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg in San Jose on Oct. 11.

We're treated to fresh reports nearly every day about how Facebook Inc.'s efforts to keep bad actors from abusing its platform fall short. The latest include U.K. legislators' inquiry into whether Russians used Facebook to influence recent British elections, and reports that atrocities in Myanmar may be incited in part by fake news on Facebook.
Even before this wave, Facebook's role in the spread of divisive messages and outright falsehoods had inspired soul-searching at the company, and a newfound humility at the top. In a string of blog posts, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg promised to do more, including hiring 1,000 additional people to review political ads purchased on Facebook. Meanwhile, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg was recently dispatched to Washington, D.C., on a charm offensive.

Boeing, Embraer Team Up on Aviation Biofuel Development
Vague statement promises cooperation for mutual benefit.
By Bethany Whitfield
** Boeing and Embraer announced the agreement
geared toward the production of biofuels and
other developments on Monday.**
Industry giants Boeing and Embraer are joining forces in an effort to develop ** sustainable biofuels** and achieve other goals, the two companies announced on Monday.
In a vaguely worded statement, the two companies agreed to "pursue several areas of cooperation, including commercial aircraft features that enhance safety and efficiency, research and technology and sustainable aviation biofuels."
The announcement doesn't provide much clarification beyond that, with the heads of both companies simply saying they look forward to building what Jim Albaugh, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, calls a "productive relationship that will benefit our companies and our countries."
While the statement doesn't reference the possibility of the two companies teaming up on the development of a new aircraft in the future, rumors have already started circling the industry to that effect.
The announcement coincided with the Brazil President's visit to the United States and the signing of an aviation partnership pact between the two governments, and follows an agreement made last July between Boeing and Embraer geared toward the exploration of developing jet fuel from sugarcane.

Support » Plugin: Admin Columns » Honestly expected more.
I knew I had to upgrade and I was willing because I visited their website. I was excited. However, after configuring the post admin view in the free version, I still was left with large gaps from post to post. I thought I was going to get more of a compact view. Since I currently use the Compact View plugin, I thought that Admin Columns would be an upgrade. Unfortunately, for me it was a step backward, and they should at least consider allowing the default WordPress edit options. Upon a user's upgrade, I do believe that being able to edit posts from the admin is great, however, the large view gaps annoy me. Especially if I am going to upgrade at nearly $60. I honestly do not understand why WordPress itself hasn't fixed this glaring problem of post views.

VellemanStore provides the Velleman K8077 sub-woofer kit, with 100 watts of audio power! It enables building -based desktop applications that run on multiple platforms, without having to customizing code for different platforms. The agreement grants Xamarin a broad, perpetual license to all intellectual property covering Mono, MonoTouch, Mono for Android and Mono Tools for Visual Studio. You should download the stable version.
Mono and .NET Developer Tools
Even if they aren't supporting it, they do own a product that is in direct competition with Xamarin's future offerings. The instruction here assumes you're running Ubuntu 16. Ideal if you want to integrate Alexa into kitchen appliances and smart-panels, including smart lighting, heating and security solutions. However, in July 2011, Novell, now a subsidiary of Attachmate, and Xamarin, announced that it granted a perpetual license to Xamarin for Mono, MonoTouch and Mono for Android, which officially took stewardship of the project. Forms, keeping in mind that some bug fixing or work around on their part might be needed as our Windows.
Uno is one of the of. Assemblies are the physical packaging of the class libraries. Most modern sportbike shocks will work with this kit. With these new terms, the ambiguity is gone and C lovers and enthusiasts can go back to using MonoTouch. There are other top-level namespaces as well, such as Accessibility and Windows. The Uno web is organized as described in. They are primarily written in C , but due to the Common Language Specification they can be used by any.
If you're dedicating a room in the home for a home theater system, you might consider the pink noise generator along a spectrum analyzer to analyze the acoustic properties of the room. Developing in a language means everything from compiling to running and when things go wrong to debugging programs. Examples of assemblies are mscorlib. Linux We only provide instructions for Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. The logo of Mono is a stylized 's face, mono being for monkey. To run an application, you must invoke the runtime with the relevant parameters. As of today, YoYo Games' GameMaker: Studio offers native support for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita free to all licensed PlayStation developers.

Features that are not available on specific platforms are emulated by using native widgets, which is referred to as hosting in the Xwt context. Migration of objects from the nursery to the old generation is done by copying the data from the nursery to the old generation pool and updating any live pointers that point to the data to point to the new location. Depending on what platforms you wish to develop for, the Elements compiler has a few prerequisites you may need to install in order to have all the tools you need to get started with the platform.

Home / Car News / Buick Enclave Sport Touring Edition unveiled
Buick Enclave Sport Touring Edition unveiled
In order to express its gratitude for American customers loyalty, Buick launches a special edition of the current Enclave. The mid-sized crossover has a more athletic appearance thanks to the new Sport Touring Edition. The Sport Touring is highlighted by a Satin Black Ice-toned grille and 20-inch chrome-clad wheels with Satin Black Ice accents.
The Sport Touring Edition brings the brand's newest design theme to a vehicle with Buick's most loyal customers. In 2015, 33.4 percent of Enclave sales came from returning customers. That's the highest loyalty rate among all Buick models and one of the top model-to-model loyalty rates in the crossover SUV segment, topping key competitors such as Audi Q7 and Acura MDX, as well as vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota Highlander.
Since Enclave's introduction in 2007, SUVs have jumped from 31 percent of Buick brand sales to 61 percent in 2015. It has remained a strong and consistent seller through eight years of sales and since 2013 has been paired with Buick's small SUV, the Encore, which has since become the brand's best-seller. The Envision compact SUV also joins Buick's SUV lineup in North America this summer.
The new Buick Enclave Sport Touring Edition will be on display at the 2016 New York International Auto Show and goes on sale this summer, available on the Leather (1SL) and Premium (1SN) trims. It is offered in three premium exterior colors: White Frost Tricoat, Crimson Red Metallic and Ebony Twilight Metallic.
The new Enclave Sport Touring Edition joins the distinctively trimmed 2016 LaCrosse, Regal and Verano Sport Touring Edition luxury sedans models, as well as the Encore Sport Touring Edition, which features an exclusive, more powerful, more efficient 1.4L turbo engine. Additionally, the Enclave Tuscan Edition offers another design-focused special model, featuring a bronze-tone grille and 20-inch chrome-clad wheels with bronze accents.

Which Candidate is Winning the Social Media Campaign? Part 1: Facebook
Campaign analysts and social media experts have been claiming that the 2016 election could be won or lost through clever use of social media. Whether true or not, the candidates are allocating substantial sums of money to this aspect of their campaigns. So, with this in mind, I decided to look at which of the remaining 5 candidates seems to be making the biggest impact through social media. In this series of posts, I'll be looking at their use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other sites. Each of the social media platforms has its own written and unwritten rules and the candidates need to approach each in a way that is consistent with these rules while preserving their own styles.
There was a time, perhaps some of you old-timers out there still remember, when Facebook was the big social media outlet. Yes, it's still big, if currently not as 'cool' as other sites. According to the Pew Research Center, 72% of all internet users in the U.S. have a Facebook account. It has the oldest demographics of any social media site with 48% of adults over 65 having an account on this platform. No other site shows such an equitable age distribution of its members. It tends to be preferred by women (77% of the population) over men (66% of the population). Here is the chart of its demographics.
Facebook is the most non-confrontational of all the social media sites, at least in principle. The basic Facebook formula involves posts on holidays, vacations, kids, and pets, which must be responded to with positive comments. The pressure on members to treat each other with respect is probably what makes the site appeal to an older demographic with more traditional values. In theory, anyway, candidates need to keep this in mind when posting here. If you want to say something inflammatory, you should use other sites. But this is the 2016 election in which we've seen all normal rules tossed aside. And it's the same on Facebook. You can find no more heated confrontations than within the comments posted on candidate pages. In fact, some are on, or even over, the Facebook hate speech policy, part of which is stated here.
"We've also found that posting insensitive or cruel content often results in many more people denouncing it than supporting it on Facebook. That being said, we realize that our defense of freedom of expression should never be interpreted as license to bully, harass, abuse or threaten violence."
But they later admit that their algorithms have failed in some cases.
"We have been working over the past several months to improve our systems to respond to reports of violations, but the guidelines used by these systems have failed to capture all the content that violates our standards. We need to do better – and we will."
In short, Facebook has become a place with as much confrontation as you will find in any other social media site. This is especially true on some of the candidate pages. I've even seen commenters challenge each other to physical fights.
The effectiveness of a Facebook site is often equated with the number of 'Likes' it receives. (Political candidates don't list friends.) That said, it should be kept in mind that likes can be bought. Prices vary for the quality of the like but, generally, $150 can buy you 1,000 likes from 'real people' as opposed to likes from bots or fake sites, which are a cheaper alternative. If you buy more likes at one time, some sellers will give you a bargain price. One site will sell you 10,000 likes for $300, for example. For a political candidate who wants to make it look like they are gaining in popularity, purchasing one million likes for $30,000 could be a good investment. I suppose what I'm saying is that one should take the number of likes with a degree of skepticism. Facebook tries to remove fake profiles (and the accompanying fake likes), but it is a losing battle.
With all of the above in mind, here is how the candidates stack up on Facebook as of late March, 2016. I'll start this analysis by first posting the candidates' Facebook stats and let you reach your own conclusions before I make any observations.
Kasich
Donald Trump holds a commanding (2 to 1) lead over all other candidates. This is as difficult to explain, in terms of Facebook's demographics, as Bernie Sanders taking the second spot. Why? Because Facebook fits squarely into Clinton's key supporter base – older, white women. It is where you would expect to find supporters looking for the latest information from her. Then, where are they?
I would speculate that Clinton's lack of Facebook support comes from two reasons. First, most of her supporters have been supporting her for a long time. They know her stand on nearly everything. They really don't need to go to Facebook to confirm this. If something unusual occurs during the campaign, they may look at her site, otherwise, why bother? This brings up the second reason why she may not be receiving the Facebook attention one would expect: her supporters lack the enthusiasm of Sanders and Trump supporters.
Trump supporters tend to be older, white males. Next to Hillary, you would expect Trump to do better than all other candidates on Facebook. Unlike Hillary, he is a bit of an unknown commodity. Even his supporters aren't sure where he stands on everything, so, for them, visiting his Facebook site would help keep them informed. In addition, you cannot discount the enthusiasm factor.
In my opinion, it is the enthusiasm factor that puts Sanders in the anomalous second place position in total Facebook likes. His supporters seem to have an almost fanatical dedication to him and apparently flock to the site to defend his position and fiercely attack anyone that opposes it. Mostly, though, they congratulate each other on being Bernie Sanders supporters, often under the belief that they share a certain enlightenment that the supporters of other candidates lack. Their comments often go unopposed, compared to other candidates. Few negative comments appear on his site.
Hillary has another problem; Bernie Sanders supporters. They will use her site to launch stinging attacks on her and her supporters. For her part, Hillary simply marginalizes Sanders. She treats him like a small dog that is pulling on her pantsuit leg. She can't kick it across the room because the owner is watching, so she simply pretends it doesn't exist. Clinton often attacks Trump, but she rarely mentions Sanders. She lets the commenters do that. Probably nothing could anger Sanders' supporters more, and so the tension between the two camps grows. Here is an example of a typical anti-Clinton, pro-Sanders comment on Hillary's Facebook page.
Trump is basically attacked by everyone. He is as fiercely defended by his supporters as Sanders is by his. However, I find few Trump supporters visiting Sanders' Facebook page. Here is a typical comment from a Trump supporter on those posting negative comments on Trump's Facebook site.
You would expect Cruz supporters to be more active in writing anti-Trump posts, but, in truth, they are conspicuous in their absence. Most of the trolls come from the Sanders camp. Cruz, however, is routinely attacked by Trump supporters. Kasich supporters seem to attack no one. Unfortunately, the anti-Kasich commenters on his own site often outnumber comments by his supporters.
Why do candidates use Facebook at all?
Actually, that's a good question. If they are mainly visited by supporters and haters, how does having a Facebook page change anything? True, they may be able to clarify some issues and keep supporters charged up, but most supporters stay as supporters and most haters stay as haters. In truth, all social media campaigns are hoping to persuade the undecided voter that they are the best candidate. That's one reason to keep Facebook posts sounding reasonable and friendly… at least most of the time.
And Facebook makes finding the undecided voter and potential supporter about as easy as you can ever imagine. They even have a page dedicated to organizing political compaigns. Imagine the information Facebook has on millions of Americans. With this information, they can help a candidate find the precise people who are most likely to respond to their campaign. As Facebook claims, they can "use signals from Facebook's deep engagement with voters to target people based off of predicted political affinity. Tap into the political conversation on Facebook by targeting the most likely people to spread political information. Use the power of identity to put the right message in front of the right voters at the right time with 1:1 voter file matching." And, of course, "Geo-target your support base of potential voters by congressional district and more." That's a considerable amount of power and an advertising angle well worth investing in. Still, the candidate must offer up a product that these targeted people will respond to.
In my objective analysis of who has the best Facebook setup, I would have to choose Sanders. He puts up relevant content and differentiates his Facebook style from his Twitter style. This makes it look like he understands the difference and is making an effort to reach different demographics. By simply copying one social media site's content to another, a candidate risks looking uninformed about social media and, quite frankly, lazy.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both use Facebook well. Clinton, however, tends to use Twitter and Facebook as if they are more or less the same. Trump shows an understanding of the importance of differentiating the two. So, because Trump also has more likes and attacks more vehemently, I will give him the second place nod and relegate Hillary to the third position.
Cruz does a good job differentiating his Twitter and Facebook pages. Unfortunately, his most recent page shows the 'Photos' section on the left with this image, which is amusing in light of the sex scandal allegations that were recently leveled against him.
Someone should have picked this up. His site is also riddled with attacks from Trump supporters and needs to be defended more than it is.
John Kasich does nothing really wrong on his Facebook site. He's simply been lost in the dust of the other candidates. His problem is the same as Clinton's and it almost looks like he's copied her design and strategy. The differentiation of his Facebook and Twitter sites is fair. Again, he has more attacks from Cruz supporters than positive comments from his own. These points plus his lack of likes puts him in last place, behind Cruz, in his effective use of Facebook.
In my next post, I'll look more closely on how the candidates are using Twitter.
