Q: How to solve implicit solution of IVP The given question is:
$$
 dy/dt + 2y = 1\ ;\qquad    y(0)= 5/2
$$
when i solve this i get $\ln(-4)=c$
now the problem is how to solve $\ln(-4)$?

A: You can get rid of the "arbitrary constant" as follows.
Cauchy's problem:
$$\tag{1} \begin{cases} y^\prime (t) +2y(t)=1 \\ y(0)=5/2 \end{cases}$$
has unique global solution (because the ODE is linear with constant coefficients); this solution is continuous in $\mathbb{R}$, hence $y^\prime (t)=1-2y(t)$ is continuous in $\mathbb{R}$ and $y(t)$ is of class $C^1$ in $\mathbb{R}$... Bootstrapping one gets $y(t)$ of class $C^\infty$ in $\mathbb{R}$.
Moreover, the ODE in (1) has only one constant solution, namely $\bar{y}(t):=1/2$, and it forces its nonconstant global solutions to be either $>1/2$ or $<1/2$ everywhere in $\mathbb{R}$: in fact, if a solution $\phi(t)$ has $\phi(t_1)<1/2<\phi(t_2)$, then (by continuity) there exists $T$ s.t. $\phi(T)=1/2$ therefore $\phi(t)=\bar{y}(t)$ everywhere (by uniqueness), a contradiction. In the present case, since $y(0)=5/2>1/2$, one has $y(t)>1/2$ everywhere in $\mathbb{R}$; hence $y^\prime (t)=1-2y(t)<0$ in $\mathbb{R}$, so that $y(t)$ is strictly decreasing.
Now, let $t>0$; one can divide both sides of $y^\prime (t)=1-2y(t)$ by $1-2y(t)\neq 0$ and integrate over $[0,t]$ to get:
$$\int_0^t \frac{y^\prime (\tau)}{1-2y(\tau)}\ \text{d} \tau = \int_0^t \text{d} \tau \; ;$$
since $y(\tau)$ is of class $C^\infty$ and strictly decreasing, one can make the change of variable $\eta = y(\tau)$ in the LHside to get:
$$\int_{5/2}^{y(t)} \frac{1}{1-2\eta}\ \text{d} \eta =t\; ,$$
hence:
$$-\frac{1}{2}\log |1-2\eta|\Big|_{5/2}^{y(t)}=t \; ;$$
keeping in mind that $1-2y(t)$ is negative in $\mathbb{R}$, one finds:
$$\log \frac{4}{2y(t)-1} =2t$$
and finally:
$$\tag{2} y(t)=2e^{-2t}+\tfrac{1}{2} \; .$$
On the other hand, if $t<0$ one has to integrate over $[t,0]$ to recover the same elementary expression (2) for the solution. Therefore (2) gives the unique global solution to problem (1).

A: Here I wanted to give a slight different approach to solving the problem without using the integrating factor or the above more slightly involved but elegant way of solving. I will show a method of solving certain non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations called:
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~             {\underline{\textbf{Method of Undetermined Coefficients}}}$
$\underline{{\bf{SOLUTION:}}}$
$y(t)=y_{h}~+~y_{p}$
${\underline{\text{Differential Equation:}}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$  $y'+2y=1$.
${\underline{\text{Homogeneous Case:}}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$  $y'+2y=0$.
${\underline{\text{Characteristic Polynomial:}}}~~~~~~~~~$ $r+2=0$.
${\underline{\text{Solved:}}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$  $r=-2$
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
$
r=\:-2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{\text{(Root of characteristic polynomial)}}$
$${\underline{\text{General Form of the Homogeneous Solution}}}$$
$$y_{h}(t)=C_{1}e^{r_{1}t}$$
$${\underline{\text{Homogeneous Solution to the Differential Equation}}}$$
$$y_{h}(t)=C_{1}e^{-2t}$$
Now we shall seek a particular solution.
${\underline{\text{Non-Homogeneous Case:}}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$  $y'+2y=1$
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
$$ f(t)=1 $$
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$Let,
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\begin{array}{llll}
y_{p}(t)=A \\
y_{p}'(t)=0
\end{array}$
Substituting derivatives into differential equation:
$(0)+2(A)=1$.
$2A=1$
After computing the undetermined coefficient ${\underline{A}}$ we get the following solution:
$
\begin{array}{l}
A=~\dfrac{1}{2}
\end{array}
$
Making our particular solution to become,
$$ y_{p}(t)=\dfrac{1}{2} $$
So now we have enough information to put together our complete solution composed of the homogeneous part plus the particular part to get:
$${\underline{\text{General Solution and Particular Solution to ODE Combined}}}$$
$$ y(t)=y_{h}~+~y_{p} $$
$\hspace{2.8999in} y(t)=C_{1}e^{-2t}+\dfrac{1}{2}.$
$\hspace{0.5in} {\underline{\text{Initial Conditions}}}$
$
\begin{array}{lll}
y(0)=\dfrac{5}{2}:~ \dfrac{5}{2}=C_{1}e^{-2(0)}+\dfrac{1}{2} \\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\dfrac{5}{2}=C_{1} \cdot 1+\dfrac{1}{2} \\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\dfrac{5}{2}=C_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2} \\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\dfrac{5}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}=C_{1} \\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\dfrac{4}{2}=C_{1} \\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2=C_{1}
\end{array}
$
Giving us our desired components to build our solution as the following:
$${\underline{\text{Particular Solution to The IVP}}}$$
$\hspace{2.6in} y_{p}(t)=2e^{-2t}+\dfrac{1}{2}. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Box$
Hope that this helped help to see an alternative way of going about solving the same problem. Let me know if there is anything needed to be further clarified in the steps of work.
Thanks.
Good~Luck.

A: You have made a mistake with your calculation. Let $\phi(t) = 2y(t) - 1$. Hence, we get $\frac{d \phi}{dt} = 2 \frac{dy}{dt}$.
The equation now becomes $\frac1{2} \frac{d \phi}{dt} + \phi(t) = 0$ with $\phi(0) = 4$.
The solution is $\phi(t) = \phi(0) \exp(-2t) = 4 \exp(-2t)$
Hence, $y(t) = \frac1{2} + 2 \exp(-2t)$

A: this is a linear differential equation and the solution of this equation is as follow:
IF= = e^∫▒〖2 dt〗
= e^2t
Now solution of equation is:
y e^2t = ∫▒〖1 .e^2t  dt〗
y e^2t = e^2t/2 + c  ……………………….eq(1)
Now put t=0 and y =  5/2
5/2 = 1/2+ c
C = 2
Putting this in eq(1), we get
y e^2t = e^2t/2+ 2
y=1/2+  1/2 e^(-2t)

Germany tells US to back off over Russian pipeline
Tubes for the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline are being loaded on a ship at the Mukran port in Sassnitz on the Baltic Sea island of Ruegen, northeastern Germany, on Thursday. — AFP
BERLIN — Germany on Thursday warned Washington to mind its own business after US lawmakers gave initial approval to a bill that would sanction contractors working on a Russian pipeline to Germany.
"European energy policy is decided in Europe, not in the US," Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Twitter.
"We reject external interference," he said.
The 9.5 billion euro ($10.6 billion) Nord Stream 2 pipeline will run under the Baltic Sea and is set to double shipments of Russian natural gas to Germany.
The German-Russian Chamber of Commerce (AHK) said the pipeline was important for the energy security of Europe as a whole and called for retaliatory sanctions against the United States if the bill passes.
"Europe should respond to sanctions that damage Europe with counter-sanctions," said AHK chief Matthias Schepp.
Supporters of the 1,230-kilometer (760-mile) line say it will be a reliable source of cheap energy but critics warn it could end up vastly increasing Russia's political influence in Europe.
The EU joined in criticizing proposed US action.
EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said Brussels "opposes the imposition of sanctions against any EU companies conducting legitimate business".
"The (European) Commission objective has always been to ensure that Nord Stream operates in a very transparent and in a non-discriminatory way with the appropriate degree of oversight," he said.
Germany's Schepp said the sanctions would end up affecting European companies more than Russia.
Half of the project is financed by Russian gas giant Gazprom, with the rest covered by its European partners: Germany's Wintershall and Uniper, Anglo-Dutch Shell, France's Engie and Austria's OMV.
Despite its own diplomatic tensions with Russia, including over the murder of a former Chechen rebel in Berlin earlier this year, Germany has repeatedly defended the long-running project.
The German economy ministry said it was awaiting the result of a US Senate vote expected next week on the bill — part of much wider US defense legislation.
US President Donald Trump has already said he would sign off on the measures if they are approved.
The bill requires the US State Department to report back within 60 days with the names of companies and individuals involved in pipe-laying for Nord Stream 2 and TurkStream, another pipeline from Russia to Turkey.
The sanctions envisioned by the bill include asset freezes and revocation of US visas for the contractors.
One major contractor that could be hit by the sanctions is Swiss-based pipeline laying company Allseas, which has been hired by Gazprom to build the offshore section.
The power of Gazprom and therefore the Russian state is at the center of concerns about the pipeline in the United States and in eastern and central Europe.
Europe is Russia's main customer for natural gas and critics fear the pipeline, which has an annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters, will increase its reliance.
Countries like Ukraine, a major transit country for Russian gas, also fear they could lose influence.
Russia had hoped to launch the pipeline in late 2019 but the completion has been delayed by difficulties in obtaining permits from Denmark.
In October, Copenhagen gave Russia a permit to build a section of the pipeline on the Danish continental shelf in the Baltic Sea.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak told reporters last month that he expected the pipeline to become operational in mid-2020. — AFP

Suisun Channel (Slough)
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The Suisun Channel connects Suisun City to Grizzly Bay, which borders Suisun Bay. Suisun City is approximately 30 miles northeast of San Francisco and abuts the southern border of Fairfield, California. Project Operations and Maintenance (O&M) provides for maintenance dredging of an entrance channel in Grizzly Bay that is 200 feet wide to a depth of -8 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), a channel to the head of navigation at Suisun City that is 100-125 feet wide and 13 miles long to a depth of -8 feet MLLW, and a turning basin. This shallow draft channel is infrequently maintained.
FEDERAL COST
NON-FEDERAL COST
FISCAL YEAR 2020 ALLOCATION
COST TO COMPLETE
FY 20 AND FY 21 ACCOMPLISHMENTS (based on the availability of funds)
Continue geospatial analysis.
Continue with Contributing funding to RDMMP work.
In FY21, this project has been funded for a disposition study. This means that SPN will evaluate the best manner for the government to divest itself of this asset. Options for disposition of the channel range from simply deauthorizing the channel to transferring the asset to a non-federal entity.
ISSUES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The City of Suisun City is the Non-Federal Sponsor (NFS).
The project was last dredged in FY 90 and was last surveyed in FY 04.
The controlling depth as of 2004 was -7 feet MLLW.
This channel is authorized for -8', but has historically been infrequently maintained. The channel was last dredged in FY1990, and there is no available disposal site identified if this channel were to be dredged again.
The NFS is responsible for providing a suitable upland placement site for future dredging, but no adequate disposal options are presently available.

Cup o' Joe Announces Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova
Three book announcements at the Cup O' Joe Panel at NYCC: Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova and Punisher: Nightmare. No huge surprises, there (Punisher: Nightmare was originally talked about in 2009).
First up is the Guardians of the Galaxy comic by Brian Bendis and Steve McNiven. There's a movie coming out, so you knew there was going to be a Guardians comic before much longer. Bendis was even teasing this over on tumblr. The twist here is what appears to be Iron Man on the cover. Is this to tie it more closely to the Marvel universe or associate it more with the Avengers? We'll have to see.
Then you've got Nova by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. This is confirmed as the same Sam Alexander character from the Spider-Man cartoon and that Richard Rider is still dead.
With the Punisher mini-series, which will be 5 weekly issues starting in January, Scott Gimple is a screenwriter currently attached to the Walking Dead television show. He's also written for the show Life and the Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance film.
Marvel's custom comics wing has done another NBA project for ESPN: The Magazine. This time, it's a 10-page comic about the Miami Heat trying to get 4 championship rings. I wonder if there's a soul gem metaphor there? At any rate, their last collaboration with ESPN was very well done.
Quesada was also teasing about an upcoming Marvel/Disney collaboration.

Excuse my French – but WTFuck does Bendis know about writing science fiction?? That is what Guardians of the Galaxy is. It's not noir dressed up in costumes, like he always tries to write things. It's not superheroes in space.
I was so looking forward to this book. And now? Would really hinge on Bendis' writing. He hasn't written anything worse the wallet since Powers (when it was at Image). He's also known for ruining characters (like Marvel Boy and Spider-Woman). Did Marvel consider that not all their writers appeal to their audience…? Marvel Now really is just a "give the books to my friends and let them do what they like" club.
It saddens me GotG is only getting the push now, because of the movie. Where was Marvel's love of cosmic when they were busy promoting 'Civil War' and giving no marketing to 'Annihilation'?
Oops… I meant "worth the wallet since Powers".

Female suicide bomber kills 20 in Maiduguri •Explosion kills 2 in Potiskum
Posted by News Express | 10 January 2015 | 4,183 times
The Borno State Police Command has confirmed that 20 persons were killed this afternoon in a bomb attack that rocked the popular Maiduguri Monday market.
The command spokesperson, Mr Gideon Jibrin, who confirmed the attack and casualty figure to reporters in Maiduguri, also said 18 others sustained various degrees of injuries.
He said 20 people, including the suicide bomber, died in the attack which occurred around 12:30pm Local time.
Jibrin said in a text message sent to reporters: "20 persons were killed in the attack including the female suicide bomber with 18 others injured at the market."
It was gathered that the female suicide bomber attacked the section of the market where chickens were sold. The section of the market was immediately cordoned off by security forces.
There are indications that the death toll of the market attack may, however, rise as rescue team continued to carry out rescue mission at the site of the blast.
In neighbouring Yobe State, two people were killed after a bomb went off at the Potiskum Divisional Police Station. Potiskum is the largest commercial town in Yobe State and located 100km west of Damaturu, the state's capital.
Residents said a suspected bomber was arrested in a Saloon Golf Car around the Potiskum main market today and was taken to the Divisional Police Station located in the heart of Potiskum town when the blast went off within the premises of the police station.
Top security personnel of the command, who requested that he should not be mentioned because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, told Channels Television that "a suspected suicide bomber in a Saloon Golf car laden with explosive devices was arrested and brought to the Police station for investigation and when the car was being parked within the premises of the station, the blast went off around 3:15pm, local time, killing two people on the spot."
The source further disclosed that one of those killed was a police inspector serving in the command while the other was a resident. The police command is yet to confirm the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the explosion, but the Boko Haram sect is believed to have carried out the attack.
Potiskum has witnessed several suicide bomb attacks in the recent past. Two of the most recent suicide bombing attacks were the killing of students of Government Science School Potiskum while on assembly ground and an attack on Muslim faithful on procession for the Ashurah Day Celebration which killed a number of them. Both attacks happened in October and November 2014.

Waitrose is introducing a stricter policy regarding its free tea and coffee offer for customers visiting its stores.
Until now myWaitrose card holders have been able to order a complimentary tea or coffee in the supermarket's cafés by presenting their card at the till with no obligation to buy anything else.
However, the supermarket has now tightened the rules by saying that customers enjoying a free tea or coffee in the cafés will now be asked to purchase a "treat" such as a sandwich, cake, biscuit or piece of fruit.
The change will not affect customers who take away a hot drink from the self-service machines while shopping in store.
The new rule will come into effect from 9 February.


The Wyoming brand platform is built on the shared value of adventure and designed to connect with audiences on a deeper emotional level. Research showed our audience is adventurous not just physically but intellectually. Asking "why?" is built into their DNA. So the work had to deliver on a level that goes beyond the usual events and attractions that most tourism brands promote. It had to answer "why" both physically and philosophically.
The "That's WY" print campaign features grand visuals paired with thoughtful statements that tap into the mindset of our audience. The medium captures readers' in an environment where they tend to linger, allowing for the introspective message to truly resonate; while the tangible quality of print brings realness to the epic intimacy of Wyoming's landscape shown through the awe-inspiring photography. The print campaign is purpose-built to introduce visitors to the lesser-known aspects of Wyoming, providing ideas for exploration beyond just the icons.
When your product is Yellowstone, the Tetons, the authentic Western culture of Wyoming, the visual statement needs to be epic. And the personal, philosophical statements delivered in the headlines need to pay off the audience insights. The vision of the work was to make an incredibly vast and rugged landscape feel personal and emotional. And to portray the landscape in a way that the audience hadn't seen before. Achieving "epic intimacy" was the creative mantra. Wyoming has less than six people per square mile. What's it like to be one of those people, and have all that wilderness to yourself? The combination of photography style and headline direction created a deeper connection between this endless land and the individuals who explore it. Beyond that, the work answered "why" by capturing the state icons from fresh angles, and featuring lesser-known locales that the curious audience could discover.
The "That's WY" print work contributed to the impact of the overall multi-channel brand campaign during summer 2016. An ad effectiveness study conducted by Strategic Marketing and Research Insights (SMARI) indicates the "That's WY" campaign outperformed past efforts including generating the highest ROI on record for the office of tourism. For every one dollar invested in advertising, the return to Wyoming in visitor spending was $275; outperforming industry averages per SMARI at $129. The ROI from national spend was even higher at $459.
An annual visitation study conducted by Dean Runyan Associates indicated an overall overnight visitation of 8.5 million in 2016. While incremental travel to the state increased 9.6% YOY, which can be directly attributed to the paid campaign per SMARI's ad effectiveness study.
This campaign is perfectly minimal. Minimalism is very bold and risky, but Wyoming pulls it off. Wyoming entices visitors with its lush backdrops and compelling historical context. The inclusive and expansive landscape photography is convincing enough to visit Wyoming with one glance. The copy was very creative and tied in perfectly with the imagery. The theme of the campaign was clearly communicated on each of the pieces. While all of the posters followed a similar format, each was unique in its approach of describing why someone should visit Wyoming. The KPIs were clearly defined, and the application provided an impressive analysis of metrics.


Guided reading is an instructional approach that involves a teacher working with a small group of readers. During the lesson, the teacher provides a text that students can read with support, coaching the learners as they use problem-solving strategies to read the text. The ultimate goal is independent reading. Here are some photos of today's guided reading in a year 2 class.


I threw away my birthday present. Not on purpose—I did not know it was my present. It was wrapped up in scrap paper and on a table with a bunch of other scrap paper and a bunch of other clutter that needed to be cleaned up. I was tired of looking at the mess. No one else was going to clean it up, so I gathered the scrap paper and put it in the recycling and gathered some of the other bits and started a pile for the thrift store.
A number of weeks later my husband (who was away at the time I reached my clutter threshold) was looking for the birthday present he had bought for me. He said it was wrapped in plain paper, but he would not tell me what it was. That is when my mind rebelled against the obvious answer. Surely it was not in that pile of rubbish I threw away! Surely I have not thrown it out by mistake?! Did I not check the pile of paper? Didn't it all look like garbage? How could this have happened? Besides, what was my present doing in scrap paper anyway?!
Recently I have been struggling with our living situation. It is not the first time, and it probably will not be the last. I am just longing for a place of our own where we might actually be present long enough to bother finding a place for everything—where we might feel it is worth it to change the curtains or put pictures on the wall. We have been nomads a long time, and the desire for a home has been growing. We have been looking at different places to purchase but have not felt convinced about any of them. Hope deferred makes the heart sick (Proverbs 13:12), and that is how I was feeling. In fact, I started having this growing sickening sense that God was asking us to give up the search for our own home and stay in the house we are currently renting, the house I do not like. I really did not want to hear this message. Surely wanting a place of our own was not wrong.
As I was circling downward in self-pity, I remembered the birthday present. I threw it away because I did not recognize the gift inside the ugly wrapping. Could God be trying to give me a gift in wrapping paper I do not like? Can I receive what appears to me to be less, believing that all His gifts are good?
I cannot ignore the power of the imagery and the still small voice that accompanies it. God is speaking through this picture in my everyday life, and God has spoken to me like this before.
Years ago, our then youngest son was in his high chair and drinking out of a sippy cup. Once his cup was empty, he started to cry because he was still thirsty. I tried to get him to give the cup to me so that I could refill it but he would not. He just cried louder. Finally, I wrested the cup away while he wailed his frustration and anger. I refilled the cup quickly and handed it back. He quieted immediately and drank. At the time, I was convinced that God was showing me myself. I was holding on so tightly to my life, to what I thought I needed, that I was not allowing the Lord to refill my cup. I was resisting receiving the abundant life He wanted to give.
Now here I am again. I need to recognize and receive the gift. We have to lose our lives to save them, and we have to believe that every gift from the Lord is good—even if the wrapping paper is ugly.
Questions to consider: How have you seen God "trying to give [you] a gift in wrapping paper [that you] do not like"? How do you "receive what appears…to be less, believing that all His gifts are good"?

Zverev will not play in revamped Davis Cup finals
Germany's Alex Zverev says he will not take part in a revamped Davis Cup finals showpiece event in Spain next November, according to Reuters.
Changes to the 118-year-old team event will see the competition turned into a week-long competition taking place in November, with 18 nations battling for the title.
The first two editions will take place in Madrid's La Caja Magica, the current venue for the Madrid Open.
Men's Tour the ATP have also announced the start of a rival World Team Cup to begin in Australia in January 2020 with the likes of world number one Novak Djokovic and 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer likely to prioritise it.
The 21-year-old Zverev, regarded as one of the players to lead men's tennis into a new era, said he would still be available for the Davis Cup qualifying round in February but said he would not play in the November finals week, suggesting the date was a bad choice for most players.
Germany host Hungary in February in Frankfurt and must win to qualify for the Madrid finals.
"I'm not going to play Davis Cup in November," world number five Zverev told reporters after his win over Marin Cilic at the ATP Finals on Monday.
"I am going to play in February in Germany, in Frankfurt, I'm going to do that.
"The Davis Cup has some serious issues to think about. One of them is the dates. I think the date is very important and I think none of the top players will play, except Rafa (Nadal) because it's in Spain.
"I'm very, very sure that a lot of top players will not play. We'll see how it goes."
American John Isner, beaten by Novak Djokovic on his ATP Finals debut, said he supported the idea of revamping the Davis Cup but said organisers needed to think again about staging the finals at the end of a gruelling season.
"The format's unique. I, for one, don't like the date. I think that's the big beef with players now," the 33-year-old told reporters.
"Let's say the top 20 players that end their season in Paris (Masters at the end of October or early November), and then go home, usually that's the end of the season. And to try to gear up for Davis Cup after this event, it would be pretty tough, mentally and physically. The date's not ideal."
Zverev was more positive about the ATP's World Team Cup.
"Hopefully, it's going to be a good event," he said. "Obviously, it's in the first week of the year, so it makes sense to play, and it's in Australia as well.
"So it's not bad schedule-wise."
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced in August that its proposals to breathe new life into the Davis Cup had been backed by the majority of national federations.
Investment group Kosmos, led by Spanish international footballer Gerard Pique, has signed a 25-year partnering deal with the ITF to revamp the Davis Cup with a total investment of $3 billion being ploughed into tennis.

Vicki Browne – has she caught the travel bug?
Vicki Browne here again. A little update from my travels. We were sad to leave Cape Town. Truly an amazing place and somewhere I would definitely recommend. But it was time for more festivities in Johannesburg so off we set.
Weddings, who doesn't love one? Surely there's no better excuse for getting dressed up and adding as much sparkle as you can! I went for a stacked bangle look and of course a massive knuckleduster of a ring. And as promised a few photos from the wedding we attended last Saturday.
Not only were we treated to a fabulous wedding, where the bride looked absolutely beautiful, but we also got to go on a game drive. Yes folks, try and not be jealous now; wow it was amazing to feel so close to nature.
And so that's it – I'm now back in the not so sunny UK. But after all it's home and I'm glad to be back and of course that means I'm back on TV too.
Nice to see your photos Vicki and glad you had a nice time, love the giraffe,and was very amused to hear how they wanted your sparkles!! Would need a lot of necklaces to fill her neck!!
My mum says you are still looking for a chaise for Wednesday luxury?! I sent you a message on fb a while back as there are so many nice ones on the internet,made a list!! But the ideal one would seem to be a L L Bowen designed one in purple (tjcs colour of course) and covered in S Crystals!!! What better for you as Queen of sparkle/!!

Bullet Machine
Band Rock Punk
Share Bullet Machine's EPK!
"Moxie Punx, Moxie Punx, Moxie punx… goof off!"
By: Forrest Cook
It's impossible to know the band, Bullet Machine, without first knowing the people behind the band. Ironically, the quiet one in the group is Matt. He's the guy in the back, banging on stuff. Then there's Tyson, the celebrated voice actor known for bringing life to Itaru "Daru" Hashida in the anime, Stein's Gate, and had a role in the English-language-dubbed version of Attack on Titan. Phipps is the resident space wizard who manifests transitory hypno-electric bursts in oscillating measure – a monument to human engineering. Then there's Rob, who's pretty much going to tell you exactly what he thinks, at exactly the time he thinks it, and won't hesitate to call you out on a terrifying Tokyo future involving, perhaps one or two too many Godzillas. They're all scene veterans, and all of them should probably know better – but don't.
Bullet Machine is known for their peculiar rendition of Grindhouse Punk Rock, (if you don't know what that is then I suspect you've also never rewound a VHS tape) and Knuckle Supper is no exception. Sadly, there's just not much to complain about… granted I'm not Rob Michaud (bass, vocals) who I'm sure could find a finger or two to point at somebody. (One in particular.)
Persevering in their "moxieful" praxis – established in earlier releases (two full-lengths and a Star Trek concept EP) – of writing songs about movies, or "movies I wish existed," Rob elaborates, the songs on Knuckle Supper are all about "weird conspiracy stories. Tyson's songs are movie based, with the exception of 'End of the World, Dude' – and if you haven't seen five element ninjas, do yourself a favor, because it is awesome!"
"'In My Lair' is Blofeld bragging to James Bond about how awesome his evil lair is, and maybe flirting a little bit. 'Teenage CHUD' is about a patriotic underground cannibal working for the government to pay off his debt to society. 'Too Many Godzillas' is about…too many Godzillas. 'This Hollow Earth' is about a conspiracy that the Germans believed Aryan angels lived in the center of the Earth, that there was a temporal portal in the South Pole, and that we sent 45k American troops to fight them for control of the portal, and then covered it up. 'Head in a Jar' is about an egotistical head in a jar taunting the person guarding it. 'Humanzee' is about a human/chimp hybrid created by the Russians, and looking down on the earth as he's fired in a rocket into space. 'End of the World, Dude' is a dude-bro relaying all of the disasters going on around him as the world ends. 'Five Element Ninjas' is a revenge tale of a kung-fu tournament gone wrong, and a ninja's struggle to become the ultimate fighter. 'Night of the Comet' is about fighting back after a comet-based zombie attack." – It's the complete package.
Goofballs!! These guys are some serious goofball rockers identifying as pop punk, but who in actuality have much more of a punk-n-roll feel. While the lyrics may be silly in nature, the music itself, and the method of delivery is anything but.
Kudos for the Ramones-esque retrofit simplicity which defines the core of the band, but the elaborations of Phipps Stewart on guitar, who knows how to work the dropper, and laces each track with raunchy lead stamps conjure the Raw Power of James Williamson more so than Johnny Ramone – and he's got a wah pedal, which is cool.
Knuckle Supper is a great, fun album for fans of The Dwarves, Gwar, and Teenage Bottlerocket. It's chock-full of laughter, ninjas, radioactive lizards, and dead pedestrians, and you might even stumble upon some pretty solid pop punk (rock and roll).
The album is well-produced and easy on the ear drums – recorded and mixed at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO of Descendents/ALL fame. It features interesting artwork by Miggy Toons, which includes an ominous behemoth's (Bullet Machine) tetrad-decapitation, evidenced in the quadruplicate bloody stumps, and the 4-piece band members' heads allocated and shelved in preserving jars.
It asks more questions than it answers. Will Bullet Machine meet their doom at the hands of the creepy, brainy, torture-rack, doctor bone-saw guy? Does Bullet Machine survive the "Tokyo situation"? If the hefty, fast breakdown in "Too Many Godzillas" and the psychotic, catchy lyrics of "Death Race 2000" are any indication, then I think they'll be alright. Stream the album on Spotify and Bandcamp.com. Pick up a copy and let me know what you think! Released: 2/22/19. - En La Calle On The Street
2013 - Initiate Plan Z!
2015 - Red Shirt Revenge

You know what moxie is, kid? Moxie is when your best friend is torn
apart by creatures from the deep, and you just let him go and steer your
boat right into the fight. Moxie is
when space vampires blow through town, leaving everyone you love dead,
and you strap on a bandolier, fill it with stakes, and hit the road for a
little old fashioned vengeance. Bullet Machine - full of moxie, and
ready to roll!
Rob Michaud

A hand from the future.
She didn't notice but she just lifted off the ground. Her curls floated in the air as she held her arms open in front of the book.
The bells from the church were hitting twelve. In the sixth hit, the lights of the apartment went out.
The book started to glow with a light of its own as she kept reading. The window started to rattle as her voice got louder.
There was a crack and the windows blew up. The glass was suspended in time for a second and then all the sharp started to float towards her but by the time they reached her, they were nothing but sand.
That didn't touch her because of an invisible bubble that the sand delineated. The book was protecting itself.
The sand on the ground started to lift and move right in between her hands. It became a ball slowly as all the particles moved around her arms to get to her hands.
In the center, a red glow started to emerge as the sand moved in. The sand melted and morphed and started to take the shape of a small mirror.
When the last grain of sand had become part of it she said the last word and dropped to the ground.
The lights came back and the windows weren't broken and in the middle of the book, a small mirror floated above it.
She took it by the edges making sure not to leave fingerprints in the middle and turned around. Behind her, there was a mirror hanging off the wall.
She took the smaller one and put it over one of her eyes, holding it between her eyebrow and her cheek. Looking right at the infinite reflections created on the bigger mirror. she reached inside the mirror in her face and pulled a ball of light.
As she ate it, the mirror in front of her started to change. Random images started to play on it, a memory, long lost but needed to understand the future.
The eye that wasn't covered by the mirror started to change colours as the people in the mirror started to move. The eye would take the colour of the person doing most of the taking.
At the end of the memory, a hand from the mirror extended itself as a question. She nodded in agreement and the hand reached to her heart and took the ball of light.
The mirror glowed as her eye changed colours again, this time a blue outline merging with green and finishing in yellow right before the pupil.
A memory started playing, except nothing in it had happened yet. She didn't recognize anyone in the mirror and her eye didn't change when someone was speaking.
The same hand came out of the mirror as the memory started to end. Stretching with it every image and turning the wrist to make it a ball, the hand reached and put the ball of light into the mirror in her face.
There was a sudden light and by reflex, she closed her eyes. The mirror in her eye cracked and turned back into sand as she felt her other eye painfully change colours back into her natural brown.
Instinctively she put a hand over her heart and closed the book. As she put it back on the shelf she knew exactly what she needed to do next.

Why I Will Not Accept Joe Biden As President
By Newt Gingrich
A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden's victory.
The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.
So, my friend asked why was 2020 different?
Having spent more than four years watching the left #Resist President Donald Trump and focus entirely on undoing and undermining the 2016 election, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings.
As I thought about it, I realized my anger and fear were not narrowly focused on votes. My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years involvement in public affairs.
The challenge is that I — and other conservatives — are not disagreeing with the left within a commonly understood world. We live in alternative worlds.
The left's world is mostly the established world of the forces who have been dominant for most of my life.
My world is the populist rebellion which believes we are being destroyed, our liberties are being cancelled and our religions are under assault. (Note the new Human Rights Campaign to decertify any religious school which does not accept secular sexual values — and that many Democrat governors have kept casinos open while closing churches though the COVID-19 pandemic.) We also believe other Democrat-led COVID-19 policies have enriched the wealthy while crushing middle class small business owners (some 160,000 restaurants may close).
In this context, let's talk first about the recent past and the presidency.
In 2016, I supported an outsider candidate, who was rough around the edges and in the Andrew Jackson school of controversial assaults on the old order. When my candidate won, it was blamed on the Russians. We now know (four years later) Hillary Clinton's own team financed the total lie that fueled this attack.
Members of the FBI twice engaged in criminal acts to help it along — once in avoiding prosecution of someone who had deleted 33,000 emails and had a subordinate use a hammer to physically destroy hard drives, and a second time by lying to FISA judges to destroy Gen. Michael Flynn and spy on then-candidate Donald Trump and his team. The national liberal media aided and abetted every step of the way. All this was purely an attempt to cripple the new president and lead to the appointment of a special counsel — who ultimately produced nothing.
Now, people in my world are told it is time to stop resisting and cooperate with the new president. But we remember that the Democrats wanted to cooperate with Mr. Trump so much that they began talking about his impeachment before he even took office. The Washington Post ran a story on Democrat impeachment plots the day of the inauguration.
In fact, nearly 70 Democratic lawmakers boycotted his inauguration. A massive left-wing demonstration was staged in Washington the day after, where Madonna announced she dreamed of blowing up the White House to widespread applause. These same forces want me to cooperate with their new president. I find myself adopting the Nancy Pelosi model of constant resistance. Nothing I have seen from Mr. Biden since the election offers me any hope that he will reach out to the more than 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump.
So, I am not reacting to the votes so much as to the whole election environment.
When Twitter and Facebook censored the oldest and fourth largest newspaper (founded by Alexander Hamilton) because it accurately reported news that could hurt Mr. Biden's chances — where were The New York Times and The Washington Post?
The truth of the Hunter Biden story is now becoming impossible to avoid or conceal. The family of the Democrat nominee for president received at least $5 million from an entity controlled by our greatest adversary. It was a blatant payoff, and most Americans who voted for Mr. Biden never heard of it — or were told before the election it was Russian disinformation. Once they did hear of it, 17% said they would have switched their votes, according to a poll by the Media Research Center. That's the entire election. The censorship worked exactly as intended.
Typically, newspapers and media outlets band together when press freedom is threatened by censorship. Where was the sanctimonious "democracy dies in darkness?" Tragically, The Washington Post is now part of the darkness.
But this is just a start. When Twitter censors four of five Rush Limbaugh tweets in one day, I fear for the country.
When these monolithic Internet giants censor the president of the United States, I fear for the country.
When I see elite billionaires like Mark Zuckerburg are able to spend $400 million to hire city governments to maximize turnout in specifically Democratic districts — without any regard to election spending laws or good governance standards — I fear for the country.
When I read that Apple has a firm rule of never irritating China — and I watch the NBA kowtow to Beijing, I fear for our country.
When I watch story after story about election fraud being spiked — without even the appearance of journalistic due diligence or curiosity — I know something is sick.
The election process itself was the final straw in creating the crisis of confidence which is accelerating and deepening for many millions of Americans.
Aside from a constant stream of allegations of outright fraud, there are some specific outrages — any one of which was likely enough to swing the entire election.
Officials in virtually every swing state broke their states' own laws to send out millions of ballots or ballot applications to every registered voter. It was all clearly documented in the Texas lawsuit, which was declined by the U.S. Supreme Court based on Texas' procedural standing — not the merits of the case. That's the election.
In addition, it's clear that virtually every swing state essentially suspended normal requirements for verifying absentee ballots. Rejection rates were an order of magnitude lower than in a normal year. In Georgia, rejection rates dropped from 6.5% in 2016 to 0.2% in 2020. In Pennsylvania, it went from 1% in 2016 to .003% in 2020. Nevada fell from 1.6% to .75%. There is no plausible explanation other than that they were counting a huge number of ballots — disproportionately for Mr. Biden — that normally would not have passed muster. That's the election.
The entire elite liberal media lied about the timeline of the COVID-19 vaccine. They blamed President Trump for the global pandemic even as he did literally everything top scientists instructed. In multiple debates, the moderators outright stated that he was lying about the U.S. having a vaccine before the end of the year (note Vice President Mike Pence received it this week). If Americans had known the pandemic was almost over, that too was likely the difference in the election.
The unanimously never-Trump debate commission spiked the second debate at a critical time in order to hurt President Trump. If there had been one more debate like the final one, it likely would have been pivotal.
This is just the beginning. But any one of those things alone is enough for Trump supporters to think we have been robbed by a ruthless establishment — which is likely to only get more corrupt and aggressive if it gets away with these blatant acts.
For more than four years, the entire establishment mobilized against the elected president of the United States as though they were an immune system trying to kill a virus. Now, they are telling us we are undermining democracy.
You have more than 74 million voters who supported President Trump despite everything — and given the election mess, the number could easily be significantly higher. The truth is tens of millions of Americans are deeply alienated and angry.
If Mr. Biden governs from the left — and he will almost certainly be forced to — that number will grow rapidly, and we will win a massive election in 2022.
Given this environment, I have no interest in legitimizing the father of a son who Chinese Communist Party members boast about buying. Nor do I have any interest in pretending that the current result is legitimate or honorable. It is simply the final stroke of a four-year establishment-media power grab. It has been perpetrated by people who have broken the law, cheated the country of information, and smeared those of us who believe in America over China, history over revisionism, and the liberal ideal of free expression over cancel culture.
I write this in genuine sorrow, because I think we are headed toward a serious, bitter struggle in America. This extraordinary, coordinated four-year power grab threatens the fabric of our country and the freedom of every American.

PFUJ to observe Wednesday as Black Day against retrenchment of media-persons
By PPI 7 hours 28 minutes ago
Islamabad, The supreme body of Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) u Federal Executive Council (FEC) has announced to observe October 13 (Wednesday) as black day across the country against massive retrenchments in various media houses.
The decision was taken at the meeting of FEC, chaired by PFUJ President Pervez Shaukat that also decided that all the affiliated unions would hold demonstrations in their respective areas and press clubs by wearing black stripes on arms and display black flags at top of their offices. The FEC demanded that the enhancement of the wages in consonance with the prevalent price hike and inflation. The meeting noted with concern that the seventh wage award which was supposed to be operative from July 01, 2000 and yet to be implemented. While during the last 16 years the wages of the Federal and Provincial governments and even private sector has increased manifold while recently 50% increase has been given to the government employees. Yet the media workers still drawing the wages at the rate fixed on July 01, 1996. The meeting observed that the media houses have not implemented the labor laws, providing job security indicating job description, life security, compensation in the wake of disability, death and other eventualities.
It demanded that all the media workers should be provided with the requisite security gears and other paraphernalia while performing their assignments. The meeting noted with concern that the working conditions for media persons in conflict zones especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Fata have become dangerous and the killing of the media persons have become the order of the day. It also noted that over 162 media persons had already lost their lives while performing their assignments since 2000 in Pakistan, which is the highest around the world after Iraq. Castigating the indifferent approach of the media owners towards the life threat faced by the media persons due to which the precious lives of the media men remains at stake. It also noted that in majority of the cases whereby the media persons lost their lives, the concerned investigation agencies have not brought yet the culprits to the book. In a resolution, the FEC called for implementation of the 7th Wage Board Award, constitution of 8th wage board, provision of life security, job protection, and financial compensation to the families of the victims.
The meeting also called upon the Prime Minister to fulfill his commitment for launching the countrywide life insurance scheme for the media persons, victim fund, allocation a piece of land for the establishment of PFUJ secretariat in Islamabad and financial assistance for the establishment of endowment fund. It also pointed out that the proposal for the establishment of housing colonies for the working media persons in parts of the country, registration of media persons under EOBI and WWF, and provision of security gear for the media persons. It also decided for the formation of gender policy, capacity building programs, holding series of seminars and workshops for creation of awareness on current global and national issues with regard to reporting in conflict zones. The meeting decided for formulation of gender policy, setting up of female group for evolving strategy to ensure conducing environment for the females, enhancement of their professional skills besides protecting their rights. It condemned the employing of contract system both in electronic and print media and termed the menace as a calculated move to deprive the media persons from their legitimate basic financial right.
The PFUJ also decided to organize its bodies at all the major media centers and also accorded affiliation to Gujranawala Union of Journalists, while Hyderabada Union of Journalists and Multan Union of Journalists have been revved. It also decided to enhance the membership of PFUJ with the aim to boost the ongoing campaign for the implementation of wage award and other rights of the media community. The PFUJ reiterated that it would continue its struggle for upholding the principles of rule of law, humanity, democracy, supremacy of the constitution and made it clear that it will not allow anyone to sabotage the civilian democratic set up. It made also clear that PFUJ firmly believes in responsible journalism and strongly advocates to not to compromise on basic principle for the right to know. It would not become part of any willful malicious campaign by any party or group

How Much of a Pain is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals?
Thread: How Much of a Pain is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals?
How much of a pain are they when it comes to to death sentences?
Overall, if you're pro-capital punishment, then they're often a tremendous pain. However, if a three-member panel decision ends up actually going against a condemned inmate, it seems that the Ninth Circuit sitting en banc doesn't normally overrule the panel. There's also another thing I've noticed but that I don't have the statistics at my fingertips to back up: it appears that the Ninth Circuit much more frequently upholds Arizona death sentences than California death sentences. I'm not exactly sure why this is. Perhaps the quality of California capital representation has actually been, on the whole, lower than Arizona's.
I see, how good are the judges put on the 9th by republican presidents in regards DP cases?
On the Ninth, Republican appointees are likelier than Democratic appointees to uphold death sentences. Among Democratic appointees, the Carter appointees still active on the Ninth almost never uphold death sentences, whereas quite a few of the Clinton appointees often do.
How close is the next execution in California?
Will all of us on the board die before the next Cali execution? LMAO!
It may well happen in a few years if Governor Brown doesn't commute all the state's death row inmates as two governors in Illinois have done. One problem, among many, that will further delay executions is that California's protocol provides for the use of sodium thiopental. Since it seems impossible to find a DEA-approved supply of it, California will have to switch over to another drug. To do so, under California law, will involve a lengthy regulation-approval process.
Is there any Nixon/Ford appointees left on the 9th?
Yep. The complete list is on their Wiki page...scroll down a bit.
At least the people of California and especially the people of the nation are strongly in favor of the death penalty.
You guys talk about executions like their some kind of a joke. Are you guys really that bloodthirsty? I'm also pro-death penalty but when you're talking about the state executing people, it's a very serious matter.

Will Brock Lesnar go the distance in this year's Royal Rumble?
WWE made waves when Brock Lesnar announced that he would compete in the 2020 Royal Rumble as the first entrant, which has created rumors of what the company is up to. It also has some wondering if Brock Lesnar could end up winning the entire match from the number one spot, which would be a monumental accomplishment.
With that being said and Lesnar's status within the company in mind, here are five reasons why he won't last long in the Royal Rumble match.
As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us how long you believe the Beast Incarnate will last in the Royal Rumble match.
#5 He doesn't have to
What's the point of Brock Lesnar going long in the Royal Rumble match?
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, Brock Lesnar doesn't even need to last long in the Royal Rumble match for his presence to be meaningful. In fact, WWE could probably accomplish so much more through cheap heel tactics or a surprising elimination than they ever could with him going the distance.
Keep in mind that Brock Lesnar is starting the match as the first entrant - and unless he gets injured early - will have to fight off 29 other men. Not only does that sound way to predictable of an outcome, it also could cause an uproar with the WWE Universe, who has spoken out about this kind of thing in the past.
With that being said and a short story being a much better option for Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, expect him to be eliminated relatively early from the contest. Either that, or go to create one of the most anti-climactic endings to a Royal Rumble match in WWE history, which would be hard to do after the 2012 incident.

The Incredibles Actors
Inside Out Actors
Up Actors
WALL•E Actors
Story Artists
Pete Docter (born October 9, 1968) has been one of the key people in the development of many Pixar films and is one of the original members of the Brain Trust. He directed Monsters, Inc., Up, Inside Out, and Soul.
1.2 Career
1.3 Personal Life
Docter was born in Bloomington, Minnesota, growing up socially isolated, preferring to work alone and having to remind himself to connect with others. He often played in the creek beside his house, pretending to be Indiana Jones and acting out scenes. A junior-high classmate later described him as "this kid who was really tall, but who was kind of awkward, maybe getting picked on by the school bullies because his voice change at puberty was very rough".
Both his parents worked in education: his mother, Rita, taught music and his father, Dave, was a choral director at Normandale Community College. He attended Nine Mile Elementary School, Oak Grove Junior High, and John F. Kennedy High School in Bloomington. Unlike his two sisters, Kirsten Docter, who is now the violist of the Cavani String Quartet,and Kari Docter, a cellist with the Metropolitan Opera, Docter was not particularly interested in music. Nevertheless, he can be seen playing on Michael Giacchino's score on the Up Blu-Ray extra features. He taught himself cartooning, making flip books and homemade animated shorts with a family movie camera. He later described his interest in animation as a way to "play God", making up nearly living characters. Cartoon director Chuck Jones and producer Walt Disney and cartoonist Jack Davis were major inspirations.
He spent about a year at the University of Minnesota studying both philosophy and making art before transferring to the California Institute of the Arts, where he won a Student Academy Award for his production Next Door and graduated in 1990. Although Docter had planned to work for the Disney Corporation, his best offers came from Pixar and from the producers of The Simpsons. He did not think much of Pixar at that time, and later considered his choice to work there a strange and unusual choice.
Before joining Pixar, Docter had created three non-computer animations, Next Door, Palm Springs, and Winter. He was a fan of the company's early short films, but he knew nothing about them otherwise. He commented in an October 2009 interview, "Looking back, I kind of go, what was I thinking?"
He started at Pixar at the age of 21, and began work the day after his college graduation, the tenth employee the company hired, and its third animator. He first met owner Steve Jobs when Jobs came to lay off some older workers. Docter instantly felt at home in the tight-knit atmosphere of the company. He has said, "Growing up... a lot of us felt we were the only person in the world who had this weird obsession with animation. Coming to Pixar you feel like, 'Oh! There are others!'"
Docter had been brought in with limited responsibilities, but John Lasseter quickly assigned him larger and larger roles in writing, animation, sound recording, and orchestra scoring. He was one of the three key screenwriters behind the concept of Toy Story, and partially based the character of Buzz Lightyear on himself. He had a mirror on his desk and made faces with it as he conceptualized the character.
Docter has been an integral part of some of Pixar's most seminal works, including Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc., all of which received critical acclaim and honors. He contributed to these animated films as a co-author to the scripts, and worked with CGI stalwarts such as John Lasseter, Ronnie del Carmen, Bob Peterson, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, and the late Joe Ranft. Docter has referred to his colleagues at Pixar as a bunch of "wild stallions".
In 2004, he was asked by John Lasseter to direct the English translation of Howl's Moving Castle. Docter made his directorial debut with Monsters, Inc., which occurred right after the birth of his first child, Nick. Docter has said that the abrupt move from a complete, single-minded devotion to his career to parenting drove him "upside down" and formed the inspiration for the storyline. Docter then directed the 2009 film Up, released on May 29, 2009. He based the protagonist of Up partially on himself, based on his frequent feelings of social awkwardness and his desire to get away from crowds to contemplate. Then, in 2015, Docter left the Newt project (which was later scrapped) to direct his idea for a new movie, which later became Inside Out. In an interview with Jonathan Carlin, Docter said that he has an idea for an upcoming Pixar movie about a bird and the subway system.
Docter appeared at Comic-Con 2008 and the 2009 WonderCon.
In May 2009, Docter remarked retrospectively to Christianity Today that he had lived "a blessed life" so far. The A. V. Club has called him "almost universally successful". He has been nominated for four Oscars (winning one for Up), three Annie Awards (winning two), a British Academy Children's Award (which he won), and a Hochi Film Award (which he won). He also won a Bafta for best animation for Up. Accepting his Academy Award for Best Animated Feature he said, "Never did I dream that making a flip book out of my third-grade math book would lead to this."
He is married to Amanda Docter and has two children, Nick and Elie (Nicholas and Elizabeth), ages 14 and 10 as of 2009, respectively. Elie has a speaking part in Up as Ellie and the character of Riley Andersen is based on her.
Docter is a fan of anime, particularly the work of Hayao Miyazaki. Docter has said that Miyazaki's animation has "beautifully observed little moments of truth that you just recognize and respond to."
He is also a fan of the work done by his competitors at DreamWorks as well. He has said, "I think it's a much healthier environment when there is more diversity."
Docter is also a devout Christian. Though he incorporates his personal morality into his work, he has said that he does not intend to ever make a movie with an explicitly religious message.

Home Law & Policy
State wise Minority Classification
in Law & Policy
Why is it in the news?
The Supreme Court dismissed a petition to recognize Hindus as minorities in the States where they are low in population. The Chief Justice observed that the States have been carved language-wise. But religion is beyond all borders, especially political borders, thus it has to be taken on a pan-India basis.
Who are Minorities in India?
Sec 2(c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992, under which the NCM was constituted,defines minority, for the purposes of the Act, as a community notified as such by the Central Government. The Central Government by way of 2 notifications, one in 1993 and the other in 2014, has notified 6 religious communities, namely, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis and Jains as minorities in India. The NCM has no say really in deciding who is a minority and who isn't.
Protection available for Minorities
Art 29 (Protection of interests of minorities): Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same.
Art 30 (Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions): All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
NCM: It is set-up to safeguard and protect the interests of minorities as provided in the Constitution of India and laws enacted by the Parliament and the State Legislatures.
Previous Judgments
The Kerala Education Bill, 1957 Judgment: SC questioned 'What is a minority? That is a term which is not defined in the Constitution. It is easy to say that a minority community means a community which is numerically less than 50%, but 50%of what? Is it 50% of the entire population of India or 50% of the population of a State?'
In D.A.V. College etc vs State of Punjab & Ors it was held that 'Religious or linguistic minorities are to be determined only in relation to the particular legislation which is sought to be impugned; if it is State Legislature these minorities have to be determined in relation to the population of the State'.
In T.M.A. Pai Foundation &Ors vs State of Karnataka &Ors, SC declared that since reorganization of the States in India has been on linguistic lines, therefore, for the purpose of determining the minority, the unit will be the State and not the whole of India.
