Philippine Air Force to recieve two refurbished C-130 Hercules tactical transport aircraft from US
Philippine Air Force outgoing commanding general Lieutenant General Jeffrey Delgado stated that one of the two refurbished C-130 aircraft amounting to PHP1.6 Billion from the United States of America will be delivered on March 15.
For now, the Philippine Air Force technical working group is in US to inspect the C-130 before it will be delivered in March while the other one will be delivered in September.
Meanwhile, for the last time, the outgoing PAF commanding general will inspect Air Force troops and air assets during his retirement and turnover ceremony in Lipa, Batangas tomorrow.
At the same time, the two FA-50 fighter jets acquired by the Armed Forces of the Philippines for its modernization program will fly during the sendoff ceremony.
Aside from the supersonic fighter jets, among the air assets acquired by the Philippine Air Force during Lt. Gen. Delgado's term are the 34 aircraft which include C-295 medium-lift aircraft, Agusta Westland (AW-109) attack helicopters, Bell 412, and UH-1D helicopters.
Outgoing PAF commanding general Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Delgado said, "When I started in two years ago, the operational aircraft was just forty, the number is just or inventory purpose but those which were able to fly are 14 to 20 but now we're reaching 90, more than doubled, 88-89, 87, and I think we can achieve 90 operational air assets within this year."
Meanwhile, the Department of National Defense confirmed that Lt. Gen. Edgar Fallorina will replace Lt. General Delgado as the next Philippine Air Force commanding general.
Lt. Gen. Fallorina is presently the AFP deputy chief of staff.
Lt. Gen. Delgado belongs to the Philippine Military Academy Sandigan class of 1982.
And as a PAF pilot, Delgado almost died for two separate accidents because of worn out helicopters.
And though Lt. Gen. Delgado will now be retiring from the military service, he is looking forward that the next administrations will continue to support the AFP modernization program.

Green Bay Packers tight end Brandon Bostick and outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott sat out of Wednesday's chilly outdoor practice.
A fixture on special teams, Bostick has only played 25 offensive snaps this season, but hauled in a 1-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on fourth-and-goal to start the Packers' scoring in a 55-14 rout of the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
With most of the starters out by the fourth quarter, Elliott had a career-high three tackles against Chicago. Neither he nor Bostick was listed on the team's post-game injury report.
Josh Sitton (toe) and T.J. Lang (ankle) also were back on the sideline during Wednesday's practice as the starting guards continue to rehab lower-body injuries.
Neither veteran practiced at all last week, but both returned to play against the Bears. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday both players appeared to come out of the game without any further injury.
The rest of the roster, including recently signed offensive lineman Jamon Meredith, practiced in some capacity.
Everyone for the Philadelphia Eagles practiced Wednesday with the exception of Nick Foles.
McCarthy was scheduled to speak to the media after practice.

Rescuing of girls from GB Road: HC asks NCW, DCW to respond
New Delhi, Apr 12 (PTI) The Delhi High Court today asked the National Commission for Women and the state unit to respond to pleas of some of the girls, rescued from a red light area here, that they were not willing to go to their native place. A bench of justices S Ravinder Bhatt and S P Garg directed the two bodies to file their replies after talking to the girls and listed the matter for further hearing tomorrow. The girls, currently lodged at reform home Nirmal Chhaya after being rescued from GB Road area, are seeking release saying they are "forcibly confined" and do not want to go back to their respective homes. These girls were recently rescued during a joint operation of Andhra Pradesh and Delhi Police on the direction of a court at Hyderabad. The Hyderabad court had issued a search warrant and directed the police to present these girls on the submission of a minor girl who had escaped from the red light area here. The minor girl had said that others from Hyderabad were also kept in confine in the red light area forcibly. The joint operation had rescued around 72 girls and except these 15 others were allowed to go home. The two minors were handed over to their relatives. The girls said that as the other were allowed to go, they should also be allowed to walk free.

#AtoZ Dylan – "W" is for Watching the River Flow
April 26, 2019 April 1, 2019 ~ Martha Reynolds	~ 1 Comment
Written and recorded in March 1971, "Watching the River Flow" was included on Dylan's album Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II. Some people have written that the song is about Dylan's writer's block (early 70s), whereas others interpret it as simply Dylan not wanting to write political songs.
Click HERE for a link to the song's lyrics.
The song has been covered by the Earl Scruggs Revue, Colin James, and Leon Russell, but here's the great Joe Cocker
#AtoZ Dylan – "V" is for Visions of Johanna
"Visions of Johanna" appears on Dylan's 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. Several critics have acclaimed "Visions of Johanna" as one of Dylan's highest achievements in writing, praising the allusiveness and subtlety of the language. In 1999, Sir Andrew Motion, poet laureate of the UK, listed it as his candidate for the greatest song lyric ever written. (source: Wikipedia)
The song has been covered by The Grateful Dead, Marianne Faithfull, Lee Ranaldo, and Chris Smither. Here Robyn Hitchcock introduces "Visions of Johanna" as 'possibly the greatest song ever written.' He joins Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings in Newport in July 2015
#AtoZ Dylan – "U" is for Unbelievable
"Unbelievable" was recorded and released in 1990, both as a single and as a track on the album Under the Red Sky.
"They said it was the land of milk and honey, now they say it's the land of money, Whoever thought they could ever make that stick, It's unbelievable you can get this rich this quick."
From what I could determine, there weren't a lot of covers of this song. It doesn't matter – this is the one cover – what a version by American soul singer Bettye LaVette:
#AtoZ Dylan – "T" is for Things Have Changed
Released as a single in 2000, "Things Have Changed" is, besides being one of my favorite later-day Dylan songs, the winner of both the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. It appeared in the film Wonder Boys.
"People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range. I used to care, but things have changed."
There's nothing like hearing Dylan sing it, but for today, I'm offering Curtis Stigers's version:
#AtoZ Dylan – "S" is for Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
"Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" appears on the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. It was recorded on Columbia's Music Row in Nashville. The lyrics are fun, they're very Dylanesque, but rather than trying to find meaning, this is simply a joy to listen to.
The Grateful Dead covered this song extensively during their live shows, as seen here in this clip from a concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia in 1989.
#AtoZ Dylan – "R" is for Ring Them Bells
April 20, 2019 April 20, 2019 ~ Martha Reynolds	~ 2 Comments
Well, it happened again. A post with no words or music. My apologies – I don't know why it happened, but it did. I had these A to Z posts written, uploaded, and scheduled well over a month ago, and I had previewed them. So it's disappointing. But here is "Ring Them Bells."
"Ring Them Bells" appears on Dylan's 26th studio album, Oh Mercy, released in September 1989 by Columbia Records. It was hailed by critics, after a string of poorly reviewed albums.
Click HERE for a link to the lyrics.
I found this beautiful rendition by Sarah Jarosz (which made it all the more frustrating when it didn't post correctly).
#AtoZ Dylan – "Q" is for Quinn the Eskimo
"Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" was first recorded during The Basement Tapes sessions in 1967. The song was first released in January 1968 as "Mighty Quinn" by the British band Manfred Mann, who had great success. (source: Wikipedia)
Many believe Dylan created the character of Quinn the Eskimo from the actor Anthony Quinn's portrayal of an Eskimo in the 1960 file The Savage Innocents. Dylan, however, has been quoted as saying it's just a nursery rhyme.
"Quinn the Eskimo" has been covered by Kris Kristofferson, The Hollies, The Grateful Dead, and Joan Osborne, but it's this original – a 1968 performance by Manfred Mann – that makes the cut:

Menstrual restrictions among Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Sikh women – the similarity and the reasons for it
In this week's #AskMythri series, we answer the following question from a reader:
Reader's Question: Have you done any research on Christianity and Sikhism that allows menstruating women into the Gurudwaras and Churches? I have close friends who are Christians and Sikhs and I have visited their worshiping place when I was menstruating (after I clarified if it was OK to do that) without any constraints. Isn't their mantras as powerful as Hinduism's mantras that menstruating women are allowed into their worshiping place? Why only Hindus/Indians have this issue? Really hope to hear from you.
Understanding the depth of any one religion should make it possible for us to understand other religions and their practices. We might even be surprised to find the similarities that exist at the core of religions that seem to be at loggerheads on the surface. Over the years, as we explored the menstrual practices associated with different religious groups, we found that at the core these practices were rooted in the understanding of the subtle sciences. It seems as though our ancestors across the world were far too familiar with the subtleties of how the human body functions and evolved practices around this understanding. Their familiarity was such that they perhaps thought it was unnecessary to explain the "why" behind practices, especially menstrual practices, as it must have seemed obvious to them.
Ancient religions and the practices they evolved have layers of understanding – the ritualistic layer, the symbolic layer, the faith based layers, and underneath it all, lies the scientific layer, from which the rest seemed to have been created. Yes, science. Not science in the external lab-oriented research form as we limit it to today. But science in the direct experience of subtle forces and the understanding of the influence of these forces on the human body. As we explore the various menstrual practices across different religious communities, this scientific knowledge of ancient religions becomes more and more evident.
In our earlier write-up, "Unearthing Menstrual Wisdom: Why we do not visit the temple, and other practices", we have written about the menstrual practices among Hindu women and the root of it in Ayurveda. The same understanding can be applied to understand the menstrual practices of other religions as well. But first, a bit about how Ayurveda views the menstruating body.
Ayurveda and Menstrual Flow
Ayurveda identifies three biological forces (called Doshas) – the Vata, the Pitta and the Kapha – which influence all the functions of the body. In menstrual language, the release of hormones that lead to menstruation is triggered by the Vata Dosha, which controls all movement. The process of ovulation is the result of the Pitta Dosha, which is responsible for all transformative processes. And the stability that we enjoy post menstruation is due to the dominance of the Kapha Dosha, which maintains the cell structure. Ayurveda views menstrual disorders (and any disease for that matter) as an aggravation of one or more of the doshas and treatment focuses on bringing the doshas back to equilibrium.
Pictorial representation of the Doshas and 5 sub-types of Vata Dosha
To understand how religious rituals impact the menstrual flow, it is necessary to get familiar with the sub-types of Vata Dosha, since it is the dominant dosha at the time of menstruation. Vata Dosha has 5 sub-types which control movement in various parts of the body. Each sub-type has a specific direction of movement (ex. upward, circular, downward, etc.) to facilitate specific activities. We will elaborate a bit on just 2 sub-types for our understanding of the topic at hand – Samana Vayu & Apana Vayu. Samana Vayu, whose direction is circular, manages digestive activities in the stomach region. When food enters the stomach, the Samana Vayu releases necessary acids to help in digestion of food. Apana Vayu is present in the region below the abdomen. Its direction is vertically downward as it manages the discharge of bodily wastes, birth of a child and menstrual flow out of the body. Any change in the direction of Apana Vayu will impact the menstrual flow (and other activities managed by Apana Vayu).
Note: We have used Ayurveda as a basis for understanding religious menstrual practices, owing to our familiarity with Ayurveda. However, we can also explore other ancient sciences such as Siddha, Unani, Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine to understand the religious restrictions in different regions, since they too function at the subtle levels.
Impact of Religious practices on Menstrual Flow
Ancient religions understood the presence of the biological forces within the body and accordingly altered their movement through religious spaces and/or religious practices. Consecration of religious spaces and uttering of specific verses were found to influence the movement of doshas and align them upwards. Why upwards?
Pictorial representation of the Chakras
In the study of Chakras, we find that the uppermost Chakra located slightly above the head is called the Sahasrara Chakra, which is considered as the seat of spiritual realization. The aim of religious rituals and practices is to cause the movement of bodily forces upwards and towards the Sahasrara Chakra. It was understood that specific rituals could result in changing the circular movement of the Samana Vayu, thereby affecting digestion. Similarly, certain rituals could impact the downward movement of the Apana Vayu, thereby impacting menstruation. And accordingly, menstrual restrictions evolved. Let's explore them one by one.
Menstrual restrictions among Hindu women
In ancient Hindu temples, the entire temple was consecrated1 to allow the upward movement of bodily forces when one enters this space. Hence there is a general rule to visit a temple on an empty stomach, to avoid an impaired Samana Vayu from causing indigestion. For menstruating women, the Apana Vayu is continuously meant to move downwards to facilitate menstrual flow. But if a menstruating woman enters a consecrated temple, the direction of her Apana Vayu is likely to alter and cause menstrual cramps (in the short term). Continued Apana inversion over long periods of time could even result in menstrual disorders, when the flow of menstrual blood is altered. (Note that Apana alteration and resulting disorders is also possible among women who frequently practice inversions at the time of menstruation, such as during gymnastics, inverted yoga postures, or other activities that alter the direction of Apana Vayu). An altered Apana Vayu causes severe pain and is not easy to treat, such as in the case of Endometriosis. Our ancestors understood this well enough to impose strict discipline (and fear) among menstruating women to ensure that they do not enter consecrated spaces.
Menstrual restrictions among Christian women
We first encountered menstrual restrictions among Christian women, during one of our field visits in a village in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka. The woman we interviewed said that while it is okay for menstruating women in their community to visit the church, the priest has told them not to receive the Holy Communion, during menstruation. We later found that among Orthodox Christians, it is widely practiced that menstruating women refrain from receiving the Holy Communion (a consecrated bread which is considered as the Body of Christ).
Consecration of the Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, during the Holy Eucharist celebration.
Unlike a Hindu Temple, the building of a Church is not what is consecrated. Instead, it is through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist2, that the spiritual possibility is made accessible to individuals. In fact, even the language used during the ritual is Aramaic4 or Syriac (which is derived from Aramaic), the language that Jesus is believed to have spoken. The primal sounds of ancient languages were known to invoke subtler energy systems that could impact the physical body as well. Just as Sanskrit verses produces sound vibrations that can alter the biological forces in the human body, Aramaic too must have had the similar effect and hence it was used while consecrating the bread to become the Body of Christ. In South India's Orthodox Churches, we find that the ancient Aramaic or Syriac language (called Suryani5 in Kerala) is still used during the Holy Eucharist, even though the rest of the sermon is in an Indian language. Therefore, the portion of the Christian ritual which is likely to impact the bodily forces is the Holy Eucharist, not the Church itself. In this light, the restriction on menstruating women from accepting the Holy Communion can be understood.
Also, just as Hindus visit the temple on an empty stomach, so also Christians are required to be on an empty stomach before receiving the Holy Communion. Thus we see the same understanding of how religious practices can affect the digestive forces (Samana Vayu) and hence the restrictions.
(Note: In many Catholic Churches of India, the entire sermon including the Holy Eucharist celebration is translated into the local language. While this exercise makes it possible for the worshipper to understand the words, some amount of the effect of the ritual has perhaps been altered, due to the omission of the ancient sounds. In general, Catholic Churches have no restrictions on menstruating women.)
Menstrual restrictions among Muslim women
For Muslim women, religion based menstrual restrictions require them to not perform the Namaz/ Salaat or read the Quran during menstruation.
Prayer positions during Namaz/Salaat
Those who are familiar with Yoga Asanas3, will recognize the postures taken during Namaz to include semi-Paschimottanasana (Ruku pose), Shashankasana (Sujud pose) and Vajrasana (Julus pose). Paschimottanasana and Shashankasana direct the flow of blood towards the upper body parts, which might negatively impact menstruating women. Vajrasana activates the Samana and Apana Vayu, thereby regulating digestion and movement of wastes out of the body. Vajrasana is sometimes recommended for those suffering from menstrual cramps to release the excess Vayu (gas). However, for menstruating women, the Apana Vayu is already active and when further stimulated, especially 5 times as it is repeated during Namaz, could increase the menstrual flow. Hence these asanas (and Namaz) is not encouraged for menstruating women.
Like Sanskrit and Aramaic, the Quran's language is Arabic. Arabic is also an ancient language which produces the sound vibrations capable of impacting the bodily forces. Reciting of verses from Quran in Arabic could cause the biological forces to alter their typical movements. So it is not a surprise that during Ramadan, the focus is on fasting and reading the Quran, for maximum impact on bodily forces and hence attaining spiritual realization. Notice again that fasting before the practice is present here as well.
Why the Gurudwara has no menstrual restriction
When we closely look at menstrual practices across different religions, we find that menstrual restrictions are imposed on entering spaces that are consecrated or on partaking in rituals that cause the bodily forces to alter their direction. So to understand the absence of menstrual restrictions in religions such as Sikhism, the questions to be explored are
Whether or not the religious space is ritually consecrated?
Do they follow rituals involving ancient languages?
Exploring these questions with respect to a Gurudwara should lead us to the answers we are looking for. As we know, Sikhism evolved as a reformist movement, and is one of the youngest religions. At its core, it strove to move away from ritualistic practices and convey the essence of religion in the common language of the masses. The focus here is not on consecrated spaces or primal sounds, and therefore the lack of menstrual restrictions in a Gurudwara is obvious.
Lastly, when we explore religion and science in an unbiased fashion, we will realize that ancient religions have more in common than what we like to admit. The impact of a Hindu temple on a menstruating woman is similar to receiving the Holy Communion for a Christian woman or performing the Namaz/Salaat for a Muslim woman. Religion was considered as an effective tool to imbibe the scientific understanding among the masses, and rituals/religious practices evolved in this background. Has it been misused? Perhaps yes. But calling all of it as superstition is actually a new level of superstition, since it comes without the curiosity and exploration that religion might have wanted us to cultivate.

As one who has spent his working life in engineering in Derby and the county, I have seen and experienced the benefits of apprenticeships and watched their fluctuation in popularity with interest. Engineering has, of course, been a major influence in the economic growth of the city and surrounding towns. A centre of the railway boom in the 19th century, that led to the rapid expansion of other engineering companies in the area to support the railways and, subsequently, Rolls-Royce. Both are still major players in the economy of the city and apprenticeships are still vital in passing on hard-earned knowledge and craftsmanship skills to each new generation.
Given the heavy, manual nature of much of the work it is no surprise to understand that engineering has always been dominated by the male gender. I have no doubt that will always be the case, but in recent years there have been more girls looking for a career in engineering. Flying the flag for the girls is British engineer Leena Gade who became the first female race engineer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, guiding Audi to success in 2012. A survey that showed 5% of engineering apprentices in 2002 were female indicates that this number has now fallen to just 4%, so it is refreshing and encouraging to see that one Derbyshire company is bucking that trend.
The apprentice scheme at Cullum Detuners, in Heanor, has brought many local youngsters into the business and is now championing local female engineering talent. With their first female apprentice having graduated, the current pool of four apprentices is 50% female.
As world leaders in the field of acoustic engineering Cullum relocated to Heanor 40 years ago to be close to one of their key customers, Rolls-Royce. Over many years Cullum have forged strong links with local schools which continues to pay dividends.
As with Nicola, Megan, now 20, came from a family of girls although both her grandfathers had worked at Rolls-Royce during the war.
Not knowing quite what she wanted to do, Rebecca met Chrissie on one of her visits to Heanor Gate School. "I was going to apply for work experience, but we talked about it and I decided to go for the apprenticeship. It sounded a good idea, I was really interested and began in 2015. I'm now doing my B-Tec Level 3 Engineering at Learning Unlimited, Derby, a branch of Chesterfield College.
Meanwhile, Megan is now on her tour of the offices. "I've done my two years on the shop floor and the production department and have just started my tour. I've been in the drawing office, design and I'm now in technical publications. Everything's so different, but I'm really enjoying it. You walk in not knowing what to expect, I've never experienced any of the departments before, so it's always a flood of information." Megan is also studying for her HNC in engineering at Learning Unlimited, Derby.
As the younger girls progress, they will be hoping to follow Nicola onto the staff at Cullum. HR manager Chrissie Symons says the company works closely with their apprentices to see where their future lies. "We recruit into available positions. We look where there may be a position with the senior managers and present them to the student and who could apply for a position and then go through the interview process. It won't be long now until we are looking at a position for Megan.
"Cullum continue to look ahead with technical apprentices who are targeted for university, but we are also looking at more craft apprentices aimed at the shop floor with a different skill set, more practically-based. That's important because we also want to be investing in the future of our shop floor. We will also look to recruit for the admin side, give them the tour but with a view to a posting in HR, procurement or quality, those different roles as well.


Celente will continue to make clear that "Happy Days" will not soon be here again. He will continue to explain that, budget deal notwithstanding, no future Fed quick fixes or DC schemes can reverse the "Greatest Depression"-bound economy. No bipartisan miracle will eliminate the budget or trade deficit, restore the dollar to its former glory, or bring back jobs lost to China, India, Mexico, etc.
Europe's financial crisis is equally critical. And the EU, IMF and ECB rescue policies will prove as ineffective as America's. Those warnings are not "alarmism" or "pessimism"  they are just a matter of drawing logical conclusions from hard facts and incontrovertible data.
Nevertheless, even with a major economic collapse ahead of us, Celente is convinced there is a basis for expecting positive global outcomes in the long-term. The potential "Game Changer" lies in a widespread recognition that the Industrial Revolution mindset and policies will not, and cannot, work in a 21st century world.
Celente Solution: Direct Democracy "The government/political 'system' in place in America, and throughout much of the world, is obsolete and irreparable. The inept generals masterminding lost-cause wars are mirrored by warring senators and representatives in Congress. Anyone who watched weeks of the Washington Wrestling Federation's (WWF) Reality Show, 'Beltway Battle Over the Budget,' and still trusts the judgment of politicians, is either delusional or ideologically trapped," says Celente.
Yet, it is an undeniable fact that 535 elected members of Congress, despite their incompetence, pass laws that control the lives of over 300,000,000 citizens. "The problem isn't just in the numbers," says Celente, "it's that the 'Gang of 535′ represents lobbyists and campaign contributors, not the constituents they claim to represent. 'Representative Democracy' is a cruel sham; it's neither 'representative' nor 'democratic,' and people are getting wise to it. Polls show that only 17 percent of likely US voters say the country is heading in the right direction, while 46 percent believe most members of Congress are corrupt.
Can Direct Democracy really work? It does in Switzerland! But is it a viable, realistic substitute for the many representative democracies, which, in practice, are not democratic at all? Or would it lead to mob rule?
Can Direct Democracy really be "The Global Game Changer"? For the inside scoop on the trend that is already generating a wave of international interest and for insights on many other mega-trends featured in the SummerTrends Journal, you'll want to interview Gerald Celente.

Almost all of the best basketball movies are based on real life.
The best basketball movies revolve around the love of the game. Whether it's the little guy overcoming his own personal struggles to reach victory, a basketball team down on their luck, or even an intergalactic basketball challenge these films are sure to shift your thoughts on the NBA season so far and on the game as a whole.
This is a classic David vs. Goliath basketball movie set in a small town Indiana high school. This school is so small they barely have enough players to compete in the State's tournaments. This movie isn't just a redemption movie, it is also a movie about the comeback of a basketball team coach, the Hickory Huskers coach Norman Dale, played by Gene Hackman. Everyone in this movie seems to be trying to start life over, and basketball is just the vehicle to get them there.
In White Men Can't Jump, we meet Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) a white guy who can play basketball better than almost anyone else he's played against. He meets his rival Sidney Dean (Wesley Snipes) when he moves onto Sidneys' territory. They first become rivals and then partners, conning unsuspecting basketball players of out hundreds of dollars. Things go south when Sidney steals Billy's money, and then Billy loses his money in a stupid bet while also facing the loss of his one love, Gloria (Rosie Perez). To make it up to her, he comes up with a crazy plan to help her win Jeopardy! in order to set things right with some mobsters who are tracking him.
Glory Road is one of those feel-good basketball flicks based on real events. In 1966, Texas Western basketball team was the first team in history to field an all African American starting line-up in a NCAA title game. The players faced an all white team from the University of Kentucky.
Texas Western's coach Don Haskins (Josh Lucas) was white, and he is a pivotal character in Glory Road. It's the story of how this one coach changed the history of basketball with his team's triumphant victory.
Be sure to watch this one all the way through; as the credits are rolling, you'll hear some words from the real team, including Coach Haskins and Pat Riley.
Space Jam is all fun and a little silly. We find out that Bugs Bunny has gotten himself and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang into a bit of jam by facing off against the Nerdlucks, tiny space creatures who land on Earth. The Nerdlucks, are sent by their boss, the ruthless and very stubborn Swackhammer, to Earth to kidnap the Looney Tunes gang and bring them back to Moron Mountain, Swackhammer's failing theme park on the Nerdlucks' boring planet. Bugs has challenged the small, weak aliens to a fateful basketball tournament: If the Looney Tunes win, they'll remain on Earth. If the aliens win however, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the gang will head to Moron Mountain. Bugs quickly realizes that he's up against a bigger threat than he thought, and seeks out some serious help in the form of some of basketball's best players. Bugs, of course, just happens to know one player in particular who can help. Will the Nerdlucks win? Or will Bugs and the gang, with an assist by Michael Jordan prevail? You're just going to have to watch to find out.
A lot of sports movies follow a familiar storyline about going from the bottom to the top to win some championship. This is not, however, the plot of Blue Chips, making this movie a stand out example in this genre, attempting to be honest and unique.
Coach Pete Bell of Western University (Nick Nolte) is having the worst season of his coaching career. After more than 10 years of winning, his team, the Western Dolphins, just don't have the talent, so he sets out to fix this by getting a number of blue-chip players to fill out the roster. Coach Bell singles out three (Shaquille O'Neal, Anfernee Hardaway, and Matt Nover). They all like Western U, but two will only come on board if there is a little extra something for them "under the table," which goes against Coach Bell's principles. Faced with another losing season, he is forced into a moral dilemma, and fallout from the choices he makes.
Rap star Lil Bow Wow plays Calvin Cambridge as an orphan, who lives in an orphanage run by a meanie named Bittleman (Crispin Glover). Calvin always seems to have a sunny outlook and determination that, despite his circumstances, sustain him. The one thing he wants more than anything is a family to call his own. His best pals are Murphy (Jonathan Lipnicki) and Reg (Brenda Song). Ox (Jesse Plemons) plays the bully, always pushing Calvin around. When a pair of used sneakers with the initials MJ turn up in a box of donated clothes, Calvin gets excited, thinking they once belonged to a famous basketball player. Ox, being the bully, throws them onto a telephone wire, but Calvin gets them down in the middle of a lightning storm. When Calvin and the shoes are hit by lightning, something extraordinary happens. When Calvin wears, arguably, the best basketball shoes for shooting, he can play "like Mike." Calvin ends up playing professional basketball for the Knights, initially as a publicity stunt, and eventually as a real member of the team. Watching this movie, I couldn't help but think it was basically Annie meets basketball. It was a fun watch.
The movie opens 1981 in Los Angeles, and our Monica (played first by Kyla Wood and then by Sanaa Lathan) has just moved in next door to Quincy (Glenndon Chatman and Omar Epps respectively) . They're both 11, and they both want to play professional basketball. We follow their love-hate relationship from middle school, all the way up into high school. When Quincy crawls through Monica's bedroom window to escape a fight, his parents are having, their relationship changes and they become a couple. Now at USC and both playing basketball, Quincy's relationship with his father once again strains his relationship with Monica and they break up as a result. Fast forward a few years, and with their pro careers at a pivotal point, they meet again. They have a high stakes final game of one-on-one, the outcome determining their future.
How can you help but not love this sports comedy? It's got Will Ferrell in it and Woody Harrelson. Semi-Pro tells the story of a team heading in the wrong direction and on the verge of collapse. When one of their former benchwarmers returns to his hometown of Flint, MI, to get his former team into shape for the playoffs. Semi-Pro is the story of a 1970s-era basketball player (Will Ferrell) who doesn't really have that much luck in the NBA, but is determined to leave his mark on the sport by coaching the Flint Tropics. When the upstart ABA league agrees to be absorbed by the NBA, only four teams will be allowed in. Jackie Moon (Ferrell) must orchestrate a successful season both on the court, and financially off the court, with the help of many strange but very funny promotional events to remain in the sport he loves.
Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) is one of the best high school basketball players in the country. All of the top college basketball programs want him. His father, Jake (Denzel Washington), now a convicted felon, is serving time for accidentally killing his wife, Martha, and Jesus' mother sometime earlier. We find Jake temporarily released from prison with a deal from the the governor for a reduction in his sentencing if he can do one thing: He needs to convince his son Jesus to sign with "Big State," which happens to be the governors' alma mater. Jesus, of course still bitter and unforgiving of his father, immediately rejects his father's presence in his life. Repeated attempts by Jake only work once he comes clean and tells Jesus everything, but at what cost and how will it affect his relationship with his son and the mayor?
Coach Carter, the 2005 American biographical sport's drama directed by Thomas Carter, is probably the most well-known basketball movies ever made. It is based on the true story of Richmond High School basketball coach Ken Carter (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson), who in 1999 made headlines by suspending his undefeated high school basketball team due to poor academics. This is the story of how coaches can make a far-lasting impact on their players lives beyond the basketball court. Throughout the movie, there are life lessons for each of the characters that they must overcome; and with the help and strong discipline of coach, they find their way to each becoming better versions of themselves than when we first meet them. It turns out, the best exercises for basketball players also include mental exercises.

LIAM KENNEDY - CLARK - BOTTOM OF AN EMPTY BOTTLE
Bottom of an Empty Bottle is the brand new and third single from Liam Kennedy-Clark, lifted from his debut full-length album, Another Habit, which is due for release on digital platforms on Friday, 24 May, and now available for pre-order, distributed through indie label, Social Family Records. All digital pre-orders via iTunes receive this track and the previous two singles, Old Family Home and Tails You Say The Same instantly.
Penned as a song that offers an alternate story to your typical country drinking and heartbreak songs, Bottom Of An Empty Bottle, speaks of love found one night at a bar with no way to find her again – a man drinking to remember, not drinking to forget. Written alongside Katelyn, Liam, and Kasey O'Donoghue, (Homegrown) this song is a reflection of the sound of country music in the '90s, with a modern twist.
Another Habit is Liam Kennedy-Clark's debut album following on from his last EP, Travelling Lines. It features writing collaborations with the likes of 2019 Golden Guitar Winners, Nick and Tom Wolfe, from The Wolfe Brothers, and a vocal duet with 2018 Golden Guitar Winner, Aleyce Simmonds.
The album includes an array of songs that tell stories from touring on the road, from conversations heard and places stayed through to different twists on country love found and love lost clichés. With the lyrical variety and creativity and country music itself an ever-changing as a sound, Kennedy-Clark drew inspiration from all over, including Glen Campbell, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Alan Jackson, and even George Jones – something for everyone!
A multi-instrumentalist as well as a gifted singer-songwriter, Kennedy-Clark has spent a lot of the past few years touring with the likes of Adam Harvey, Lee Kernaghan, The Bushwackers, James Blundell and more, as well as a lot of time in his home studio. Music flows through his veins and with influences like Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, and Glenn Frey, there's no hiding his "Old Country Soul." Throw that into the mix with his modern idols, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, and you have the recipe for an authentic country sound.

Q: :not(.active) selector I have a simple CSS :not selector:
$('.UISelect.popover:not(.active)').click(function () {

    $(this).toggleClass('active');

});

A click adds the class .active to the .UISelect.popover:
jow

The :not(.active) selector should prevent removing the .active on the second click.

However, the problem is that it toggles the .active class on every click. What am i doing wrong?

A: That happens because the click event is set forever in the dom element.
This should fix it:
$('.UISelect.popover').click(function () {
    $(this).toggleClass('active', !$(this).is('.active'));
});

When you declare events they are bound to the node. Independently of whatever classes you have on them when the click actually triggers. Your only solution is to verify it when the click triggers.
Luckily the toggleClass accepts a second argument (true/false), so you don't need to actually put an if around it. With true it will add the class, false it will remove it.

A: An easy way would be to just add the class, no matter whether or not it already has it. You don't need to check whether it already has the class before adding it, jQuery checks for uniqueness for you.
$('.UISelect.popover').click(function () {
    $(this).addClass('active');
});

CSUEB Alumni releases new book
PHOTO BY LINDSAY MARSHALL/BENBELLA BOOKS
By TJ Porreca, MANAGING EDITOR
The idea that would eventually become Matthew D. LaPlante's new book, Superlative: The Biology of Extremes, spawned from a question he had: "What is the largest living life form?"
LaPlante is an author, journalist, and professor of journalism at Utah State University. He is also an alumnus of California State University, East Bay (Master's, 2010). He used his journalistic background and fondness for animals to guide him on a journey around the world to conduct research for his new book.
Superlative is the story of extreme things in many forms. It discusses animals and plants of all sizes, climate change, why elephants despite their immense size, almost never develop cancer, and so much more.
If Superlative sounds unlike any book you've read before, that's because it is. LaPlante, both as a journalist and an author, is driven by an important philosophy.
"It's not exciting to tell a story that's already been told," he said. "When you're telling stories that have a real good chance of being new to people, that's what's really exciting about the practice of journalism and storytelling."
Superlative looks at some issues that have been widely discussed and debated, such as climate change. Part of LaPlante's skill as an author and storyteller is taking an issue that many are familiar with, and presenting it in a new way.
"We only have a short time on this planet," he said. "And I want to be adding, I don't want to be recycling what's already out there."
On climate change, there is a simple solution that could buy us some time.
"The science isn't universally telling us there's nothing we can do," LaPlante said. "There is time to battle back from the damage we have done."
Redwood trees, LaPlante writes in Superlative, will suck in mass amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. While this is not a fix, it is a relatively easy thing that anyone can do.
"We can plant redwood trees," LaPlante said. "(It is) something all of us can do. It's crazy how simple that is."
On many aspects of his new book, including climate change, LaPlante noticed a theme as he talked with scientists and researchers all over the world.
"Nature has come up with some really simplistic solutions," he said. "And we try to overcomplicate things. Sometimes, nature has the answer."
PHOTO BY KEITH JOHNSON
If you are interested to learn why cheetahs should be extinct — but are still very much alive — or how the world's deadliest poisons could lead to a cancer cure, Superlative discusses all of this and more. LaPlante goes on a journey analyzing things you may have never pondered before.
LaPlante's new book is, among other things, the culmination of an interest in science and a determination to discover extremes in various forms.
"If you're looking for things that are extreme," he said, "the things that you do find along the way are going to fascinate you."
LaPlante, a native of Fremont, Calif., first stepped on the CSUEB campus at the age of 12. He was attending his mother's graduation ceremony, from then-California State University, Hayward. He would eventually follow in his mother's footsteps, attending CSUEB to obtain his Master's degree in Education in 2010.
"I get the alumni magazine from Cal State East Bay, and it looks like the world," LaPlante said, in an ode to CSUEB's diversity. "It makes me feel good about how diverse it is."
Having traveled the world to write Superlative, LaPlante knows that diversity in animals leads to extremes, from elephants to bugs, from small plants to redwood trees, and more. LaPlante shares all of his discoveries in his new book, which is available now from publisher BenBella books.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim announces resignation
January 8, 2019: World Bank President Jim Yong Kim on Monday announced his resignation from the position of President of World Bank next month, more than three years before his current term was due to expire.
"It has been a great honor to serve as president of this remarkable institution, full of passionate individuals dedicated to the mission of ending extreme poverty in our lifetime," Kim, 59, said in a statement.
Kim, who became the bank's president in 2012, is set to join an as-yet unnamed firm focusing on investments in developing countries, the bank said in a statement, and will return to the board of Partners In Health, a non-profit group he co-founded.
World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva will serve as interim president upon Kim's departure on February 1, the bank said in a statement.
Under Kim, the bank set the goal of eliminating extreme poverty by 2030 and ramped up financing to developing countries.
Last year, it also won Trump administration support approval for a steep $13 billion capital increase after acceding to Washington's requests to curb loans to higher-income countries like China.
In a note to staff, Kim said he had long felt the private sector was best suited to meeting the developing world's financing needs.
"I have therefore decided that it's time for me to take on new challenges and fully focus my efforts on leveraging private finance for the benefit of people around the world," he wrote.
– The unwritten rule –
During Kim's tenure, the bank also emphasized its private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation, which critics said increasingly channeled funds to projects that otherwise would not have met World Bank environmental and social guidelines.
The bank's board thanked Kim for his leadership and said in a statement it would "immediately" begin the process of looking for the next president.
On Twitter, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde expressed "deep appreciation" for Kim's work.
Naming Kim's replacement could mark a sharp break with the past as the Trump administration has repeatedly broken with multilateral institutions and conventions of which the president has been highly critical.
Kim however championed a $1 billion fund for women's entrepreneurship in an effort driven by Trump's daughter Ivanka, a senior White House adviser.
Under an unwritten rule, the bank's presidency has always been anointed by its largest shareholder, the United States, an arrangement that also allowed European powers to name the head of the International Monetary Fund.
Nevertheless, when he was nominated for a first term in 2012, Kim was the first US nominee to face a challenger when Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala entered the contest.
Perhaps warding off challengers and avoiding a repeat of 2012, the administration of former President Barack Obama in 2016 swiftly endorsed Kim for a second five-year term, which began in 2017.
However, the bank's staff association in 2016 delivered a stinging broadside, citing high levels of disaffection among its 15,000 employees, asserting that it faced a "crisis of leadership" and calling for an end to "back-room deals" over control of the institution.
World Bank staff also chafed at a widespread internal restructuring that Kim began, as well as spending and staff cuts.
Internal staff surveys showed the rank and file frequently did not trust senior management and said they did not understand the direction in which the institution was headed.
A Treasury spokesperson on Monday praised CEO Georgieva's "capable leadership" and said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin "looks forward to working with his fellow governors in selecting a leader."
But Paul Cadario, a former World Bank senior manager now at the University of Toronto's Munk School, noted that the Trump administration had not named a representative to the bank's board of directors — meaning the question was likely not high on the administration's radar.
Yet other World Bank shareholders, such as the United Kingdom, major European economies or China, are likely too preoccupied with political and economic crises of their own to step into any vacuum left by Washington, he added.

The irrigated and improved lowland agricultural systems are not resulting in the expected increase in resilience and food security for smallholders nor in the leading motor for economic growth in West Africa. The potential benefits of water-managed agricultural systems are enormous in West Africa: it increases cropping intensity, diversity and productivity; contributes to develop food markets and agro-industry, and generates employment; conversely, it has environmental and social implications. The project proposes a multi-scale multi-actor and multi-discipline approach for the sustainable intensification of a new, dynamic, inclusive, market-oriented agriculture and technology-based agriculture.
WAGRINNOVA aspires to change the development paradigm of water-managed agricultural systems and suggests that sustainable intensification is not achieved through stand-alone technology, but by combining technologies and governance to co-design productions systems that are best adapted to local conditions.
WAGRINNOVA envisions sustainable intensification as the springboard that will transform irrigation and lowland communities into resilient, food-secure communities, improving their well-being through economic growth.
The project is funded by LEAP-Agri, a joint EU-Africa research and innovation initiative related to food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture, and the French National Agency for Research and the French Development Agency (ANR and AFD, France), The Dutch Research Council (NOW, The Netherlands), The Science and Technology Policy Research Institute (CSIR-STEPRI, Ghana), the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (CIHEAM/IAMB, Italy) and The Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation (MINECO, Spain)

US and China Trade Words After USS Chancellorsville Approaches Spratly
USS Chancellorsville condcuted the freedom of navigation exercise (US Navy file photo)
Published Dec 1, 2022 5:10 PM by The Maritime Executive
The U.S. Navy's latest freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea has sparked a new war of words between the Chinese and U.S. military. In a rare seen harshly worded statement from the U.S. Navy, they directly responded to the Chinese statement regarding the operation which accused the U.S. Navy of trespassing in Chinese waters without requesting permission to sail near the hotly contested Spratly Islands.
A small outcrop of mostly uninhabited islands, the Spratly archipelago has been the center of numerous disputes between China, its neighbors, and the also the United States. It is a rich fishing ground and may contain valuable resources of oil and gas while the Chinese also see it as militarily important. China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei all laying claim to some or all of the islands and regional reefs.
According to the U.S. Navy, the USS Chancellorsville, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser transited the waters in accordance with international law and then continued to conduct normal operations in waters where high seas freedoms apply. The vessel approached the Spratly islands and at the end of the operation exited the area and continued to sail in the South China Sea.
"The PRC's statement about this mission is false," the US Navy responded in a written statement. "USS Chancellorsville conducted this FONOP (Freedom of Navigation Operation) in accordance with international law The operation reflects our continued commitment to uphold freedom of navigation and lawful uses of the sea as a principle."
Chinese officials asserted the U.S. had "seriously violated China's sovereignty and security." Their statement asserted that the USS Chancellorsville was in Chinese waters without the approval of the Chinese government. China's Southern Theater Command said that it "organized air and naval forces to track, monitor and warn it off."
The U.S. Navy flatly rejected the assertions that China had taken actions to drive the ship from the area. An updated statement responding to the Chinese said "The PLA Southern Theater Command's statement is the latest in a long string of PRC actions to misrepresent lawful U.S. maritime operations and assert its excessive and illegitimate maritime claims at the expense of its Southeast Asian neighbors in the South China Sea. The PRC's behaviors stands in contrast to the United States' adherence to international law and our vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific region."
The United States notes that it does not recognize the claims against the Spratly noting that the PRC, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines each claim sovereignty over some or all of the Spratly Islands. The Navy rejects the fact that the PRC, Vietnam, and Taiwan purport to require either permission or advance notification before a foreign military vessel engages in "innocent passage" through the territorial sea. Under customary international law as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention, the ships of all states—including their warships—enjoy the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea according to the U.S. Navy.
U.S. forces operate in the South China Sea on a daily basis, and this is not the first FONOP the U.S. has conducted in the area around the Spratly. The Navy highlighted after the recent exchange of words that "these operations demonstrate that the United States will fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows—regardless of the location of excessive maritime claims and regardless of current events."

Q: Handling onItemClick event with ListView and complex layout This is a request for a best practice for handling the views in the onItemClick events in a ListView.
Each view in my ListView contains an ImageView, some TextViews, and a CheckBox wrapped in a RelativeLayout. On the item view being selected anywhere, I'd like to have the checkbox ticked/unticked as required. I would also like to have the option to change the view style i.e. so the item is highlighted by colouring the stroke.
My current issue is similar to everyone else who does this. Due to ListView recycling, if I grab the View passed into onItemClick and set the backgroundresource or checkbox checked value, it also changes them for Views that aren't currently rendered. I'd like to know the best way to achieve this goal.
I know there is a pattern to handle the CheckBox events in the ArrayAdapter directly by implementing an onClickListener, but I believe this will only respond to direct selection of the CheckBox; it will ignore any clicks on the rest of the view. Plus, if the CheckBox onClick event is fired, it will consume the click event so onItemClick won't fire, which I need to set my data.
Also, using CheckedTextView will not work since it is inside the RelativeLayout, which won't pass the checked event to the ListView. There was a post where it was recommended to create your own CheckedViewLayout that implements Checkable to handle the View checked events. If I go ahead with this, will I be able to reference my new layout class in xml, or would I then have to design each of my views again but in Java code?
If anyone else has a better solution, then please let me know.

A: Hey I think this link may be useful to you,there is a details for you
Android ListView Checkbox Example - OnItemClickListener() and OnClickListener()

A: In the end, I created my own CheckableRelativeLayout that implemented Checkable and used it as the main container for each ListView item. I used a Boolean value within CheckableRelativeLayout  to track whether the view was clicked or not.
If required, I can post the final class.

Operation Disclosure Intel Alert (12-2-19): "Synopsis"
RV/INTELLIGENCE ALERT – December 2, 2019
According to sources, a major financial correction/transition is about to occur.
The Fiat Financial System is on course to collapse and implode.
The Central Banking System is showing signs of failure as multiple banks in China begin to fail.
HSBC recently made a big financial deployment by moving from paper to blockchain.
https://inteldinarchronicles.blogspot.com/2019/11/hsbc-moves-from-paper-to-blockchain-in.html
BRICS is joining together to dethrone the Petrodollar which creates the possibility a US Dollar collapse and therefore gives reason to adopt a new monetary system.
The timing of the FISA report release is essential in allowing the public to connect the dots.
The release of the FISA report will lead to further investigations which will lead to implications connected to other investigations such as the Epstein investigation.
Eventually, these investigations will lead into the financial world and will explain why the Fiat Financial System is imploding.
Worldwide corruption of the Khazarian Crime Syndicate is being exposed.
Rumors are becoming fact as everything begins to surface.
The plan continues, Holidays or not.
Restored Republic via a GCR as of Dec. 2, 2019

Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Dec. 2 2019
Compiled 2 Dec. 2019 12:01 am EDT by Judy Byington, MSW, LCSW, Therapist ret, Journalist, Author, "Twenty Two Faces: inside the extraordinary life of Jenny Hill and her twenty two multiple personalities" – a child who was repeatedly raped, tortured and then forced to view a Child Sacrifice done by a Satanic Coven under direction of a "Dr. Green" – a CIA Operative well known to thousands of Satanic Ritual Abuse Survivors like Jenny across the US, Canada, UK and Australia as a torturer Head of the CIA Nazi-influenced Mind Control Program, MKULTRA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F626Lsrdwg4

The below is a summary of information from the Internet. It would be up to the individual reader to do their own research and decide whether or not it is valid. A Special Thank You to those very dedicated and brave intel providers who wished to remain unnamed, to Brad who does great research and Ken who uncovers almost unlimited intel on pedophilia to Save the Children.
Divide They Try, Fail They Will, WWG1WGA to Support POTUS, Follow Q & Trust Plan
This has finally come to be. I wish you well in your humanitarian efforts and look forward to seeing you on the other side of the reset where together, we will make life better for all.
Patience is a Virtue. Having Virtue is a sign of a good moral being. Good moral beings have the power to overcome evil and change the world. Judy
Judy Note: It was an extremely quiet weekend, though we have been told that the reset was underway, nothing would stop it and a date had been set to release the 800#s. No one knew exactly when.
Last week Iraqi Prime Minister Mahali resigned, it was rumored that the Oklahoma National Guard had been deployed to GITMO, POTUS was out of the country and Congress was out of session. Last Thurs. night the Military began getting ready for a daytime release of the 800#s, while Redemption Center personnel were planning on working about two weeks on a 24 hour basis in order to complete Tier 4 (the Internet Group). World currencies would no longer be revalued in baskets as previously planned and all would go at one time.
On Fri. 22 Nov. President Trump was on Fox and Friends saying, "In the next few weeks we would see release of the IG FISA Report (set for Mon. 9 Dec.), John Huber's Report (A US Attorney General from Utah whose 240 investigators have filed over 144,000 sealed indictments against global and political elites in federal courts across the nation since Trump took office – the majority of which included charges of pedophilia) and from the World Court, we would come names of those found guilty of committing Crimes Against Humanity, Treason and Sedition."
Mike Cottrell: The Chinese were funding the GCR on a 100 year plan. Dec. 15 was an important date when tariffs would or would not go into effect. The Mass Arrests would happen all at once, with global elites being hauled off to GITMO and other locations. With the Global Currency Reset the average person would see their dollar gold backed with a much higher buying power, experience the debt jubilee, receive monies from different sources and no longer experience inflation. Taxes would be less, although it could take 1-2 months for the transition.
Intel was almost non-existent, so don't be alarmed if a Restored Republic via a GCR Update didn't appear as usual. Such would merely mean that nothing new had been reported. Take silence as a good sign that the 800#s release was very, very near.

Q: Mod Rewrite, moving a website with rules I have a few sites that I want to move to a development server that all have hard coded values that look for static files at /.
Is it possible if I read the HTTP_REFERER variable to reveal example.com/website1 to forward all requests to example.com/website1 instead of example.com/? How would I do this?

A: I think you are looking for something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} website1
RewriteRule (.*) http://otherdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI}

If a request is made where the referer includes website1 (a test directory on a development server?) it will make the same request on another domain.

We start from the final jubilant at the tap of Zat Oichi with which disorients and Takeshi Kitano plays one scherzaccio to its audience of loyal and Add to this, the last few minutes of pure delirium of Symbol . You're forced to start from here if you want to tackle a work like this, latest work by Hitoshi Matsumoto, Japan comedian who enjoys stellar popularity (coupled with Hamasa Masatoshi form for years the duo Downtown) and a little ' years now began to learn the art cinema, his passion since childhood. After the incredible Symbol seemed that nothing could attack the serene mind of the viewer, but Matsumoto manages to surprise again, with a work that looks back and revisits the genre jidaigeki and the character of the ronin with son / daughter through the distorting lens of his sensitivity comic, excessive and unsettling.
The story begins with an old ex-samurai, played by amateur Takaaki Nomi, and his daughter who roam Japan, a beautiful rural area, and almost bucolic photographed with great touch from Ryūto Kondo , former director of photography for two films Kumakiri Kazuyoshi, 36 Nonko know (kaji tetsudai) (Nonko 36-sai) and Kaitanshi Jokei (Sketches of Kaitan City). In the early scenes, with virtually no dialogue, we see the samurai always on the run with doing coward come assaulted and injured, and then comic scenes as delusional, by three assassins, comic caricatures that a good introduction to the surreal atmosphere of the film. It will be the little daughter Tae treat him every time with a mixture of mountain herbs. But this will not save it from the henchmen of a local lord, looking for someone who can bring a smile to his daughter, now reduced to silence by the shock of her mother's death.
The mother's disappearance is one of the wires opera conductors, a drama that has also affected the samurai and the little girl. Since his wife died, it has been left to go into a sort of apathy that seems to not want to conclude this only with death and is perhaps what secretly seeking. If you will not be able to make people laugh the little princess within thirty days granted, he will be forced to commit seppuku . Thus begins a surreal and comic part to excess where the derelict samurai all the evidence for their lives. Comes out here all the repertoire, even the limits of good taste, the comedian Matsumoto of Osaka and the Names mimicry which is almost keatoniana. Although the character has some similarities with what we had seen in Symbol , here is deeper and more human, the charging expression of sadness and immutable, the exposure of his physical nature which often puts in ridiculous and the near absence of speech, they are physical explicitation of what is his inner drama, namely that of being a loser, especially in the eyes of his daughter that often scolds him. All this succeeds in outlining, between a laugh and the other, a human-too-human hero that only in the beautiful Final able to redeem himself. We are here in the presence of perhaps best work Matsumoto and addition to the aforementioned excellent photography, we find stylized surreal scenes in the highest degree that show us the comic talent and directing of our own and 'too good at positioning the camera. The only weak part is perhaps the central one, where the succession of amusing comic interludes made for laughs the princess in the long run tends to repeat itself and to lose the rhythm. But you can give it to him because history, the basic idea that drives the film, that is, the relationship between father and child that is expressed and sublimates especially in the final ten minutes, are to be applauded. You laugh, you cry blood and one hundred and twelve minutes of the film have already been completed. Yet we would like still to this sublime and comic madness purifying.

Personal injury accidents involving bicyclists struck by motor vehicles can have devastating consequences. While the Buffalo area, and the surrounding Western New York region, has seen a great increase in the number of both designated bicycle lanes along city streets and paved bike paths throughout the suburbs, some drivers still do not take adequate care to ensure that they do not improperly interfere with bicycle riders on or crossing the roadway.
When a car strikes a bicycle, serious personal injury to the bicyclist or even death is not an uncommon result.
At the law firm of Friedman & Ranzenhofer, our Buffalo bicycle lawyers are dedicated to helping bike riders who have suffered personal injury due to the irresponsible actions of a motor vehicle driver.
Responsible bicyclists should be able to make lawful use of the streets and roads in the Buffalo area without the threat of being injured by negligent drivers.
Unfortunately, there are drivers who feel that they do not have a duty to look out for bike riders or provide bicyclists with the same courtesy they would give to someone driving a car when using the road.
Injuries suffered by bicyclists in car-bike collisions are usually more severe than those seen in accidents involving two motor vehicles.
Fractures, brain injury, severe scarring and damage to internal organs are much more common in automobile-bike collisions. This is why it is our policy to act as quickly as possible in all bike injury cases and diligently pursue compensation for our clients.
If you or a family member has been struck by a car while bicycling in the Western New York area, contact our experienced Buffalo Bicycle Lawyers to fight for you.

Welcome to My Yard... I Like Flowers Too!
One of my favorite things to do when I'm not teaching 2nd grade or making soaps and other products, is to go outside and enjoy nature. One way that I do that is by planting flowers in my yard.
I probably got my love of planting flowers in my yard from my mom. She always has grown plants and flowers. When I was a kid, I remember that we would buy her rose bushes for her birthday and other special occasions. As a kid, our front yard seemed huge! And it was covered in 2 rows of rose bushes. Those bushes had the best colors and rose scents.
So now I have flowers in my front yard. One of my favorite is a rose bush that my son gave me for Mother's Day. I guess he's carrying on the tradition of buying rose bushes for special occasions! It's a Knockout Rose bush and it has the most vibrant color. This summer there have been a lot of roses on this bush; it just continuously blooms!
Another favorite is lantana. Actually it's a love/hate relationship! I bought the lantana plant thinking it would stay small like verbena does. I was wrong! This plant overtakes my entry way! I have cut it back to the roots at least 2 years in a row and it still comes back! But I love all the butterflies that the lantana blooms attract. So I try to keep the bush in check, and enjoy the butterflies.
My dad bought me a couple iris plants. They had amazing blooms this spring! Both plants put on several blooms and lasted a lot longer than I thought they would. I can't wait for them to bloom again next spring!
This year I planted a new flower that I had never grown before. I planted the Dahlia roots (bulbs?) and out of the 8 - 10 that I planted, only 2 came up. The two were doing great, one having produced several flowers and the other one was trying to produce one bloom. When all of a sudden, that slow to bloom plant has started to whither and die. I'm not sure why. However the other one has not disappointed. The flowers are gorgeous.
I love zinnias! Each year I save the seeds and replant. But this year, all the zinnias came up from seeds dispersed naturally last year. I did transplant a few that were growing in odd places, but I didn't have to replant this year, the zinnias did it on their own.
Other plants in my yard include Indian blanket flower, blazing star, mondo grass, and a couple succulents that i really don't know the names for.
I also love the animals I get in my flowerbeds. There's usually a writing spider somewhere! I love how delicate their webs are. I also watched an eastern fence lizard lay eggs in the ground beside one of the plants this year!
