Q: Create specific patterns for a numeric range from given start and end numbers I want to create a function which generates specific patterns to describe a numeric range between two given numbers. The function accepts two parameters: $startNumber and $endNumber. It should return an array of pattern strings. The best way to describe it is with examples:
myfunction(00000, 99999)     = array('*');
myfunction(10000, 29999)     = array('1*', '2*');
myfunction(68000, 68999)     = array('68*');
myfunction(0004000, 0008999) = array('0004*', '0005*', '0006*', '0007*', '0008*');
myfunction(5570000, 5659999) = array('557*', '558*', '559*', '560*', '561*', '562*', '563*', '564*', '565*');
myfunction(3760000, 5259999) = array('376*', '377*', '378*', '379*', '38*', '39*', '4*', '50*', '51*', '520*', '521*', '522*', '523*', '524*', '525*');
myfunction(12345, 45678)     = array('12345*', '12346*', '12347*', '12348*', '12349*', '1235*', '1236*', '1237*', '1238*', '1239*', '124*', '125*', '126*', '127*', '128*', '129*', '13*', '14*', '15*', '16*', '17*', '18*', '19*', '2*', '3*', '40*', '41*', '42*', '43*', '44*', '450*', '451*', '452*', '453*', '454*', '455*', '4560*', '4561*', '4562*', '4563*', '4564*', '4565*', '4566*', '45670*', '45671*', '45672*', '45673*', '45674*', '45675*', '45676*', '45677*', '45678*');
myfunction(000000, 399099)   = array('0*', '1*', '2*', '30*', '31*', '32*', '33*', '34*', '35*', '36*', '37*', '38*', '390*', '391*', '392*', '393*', '394*', '395*', '396*', '397*', '398*', '3990*');

A: Since some parts of your issue are not clear,
I'll get closer to the first need you are claiming...
For the range
You don't need to recode the existing ;-)
Look for range() native function, can already do that for you:
function myfunction($start, $end)
{
    $r = range($start, $end);
    return array_map(function($n)
    {
        return $n.'*';
    }, $r);
}

var_dump(myfunction(34, 39));
// will output:

array(6) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "34*"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "35*"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "36*"
  [3]=>
  string(3) "37*"
  [4]=>
  string(3) "38*"
  [5]=>
  string(3) "39*"
}

The purpose-built town of Leigh Creek in South Australia's Flinders Ranges is facing an uncertain future after Alinta Energy's coal mine it was created to support closed down in late 2015. Two power stations in Pt Augusta fed by the mine are also set to close.
A new sulphur production unit at is planned to be put into operation one of the Kazakh biggest oil refineries – PetroKazakhstan's Shymkent refinery by late 2015, as part of the refinery modernisation project.


I am pleased to announce that a colleague and I are proposing a special session for the 2016 meeting of the Modern Language Association in Austin, Texas.
Keith McCleary at UC San Diego and I previously had organized, with K. Wayne Yang, at UC San Diego, a similar session at the Northeast Modern Language Association, which featured a productive discussion with comics creators and teachers on innovative pedagogical practices for comics, graphic novels, and other sequential art in the production and appreciation of comics. We look forward to bringing this discussion to the MLA.
Towards forming a roundtable featuring teachers passionate about their teaching of comics, we appreciate feedback. If you have suggestions for how to improve our CFP to best address the current debates in comics pedagogy, please email us at kmccleary@ucsd.edu and derek.s.mcgrath@gmail.com.
The brief CFP and the extended description are below.
This special session is a roundtable that focuses on innovative teaching practices of the production, research, and appreciation of comics. Submit a 200- to 350-word statement summarizing your approaches to teaching comics by March 1, 2015, to both Keith McCleary (kmccleary@ucsd.edu) and Derek McGrath (derek.s.mcgrath@gmail.com).
Jeopardy whiz Arthur Chu had a lot to say a few weeks ago about Gamergate, as motivated by his own focus on himself as a man in nerd culture and his encounter with Felicia Day. This article is important reading for many of us to understand the hatred that the men in Gamergate have–and why they must stop this hate and violence immediately.
I am excited to announce that I will be participating in a roundtable this January in Vancouver at the 130th meeting of the Modern Language Association.
"Pursuing Two Passions: On Being a Graduate Student and Something Else," will be held on Thursday, January 8, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The title refers to the twin goals that each roundtable participant will discuss, as each of us has pursued our graduate research while dedicating ourselves to activism, family, and hobbies.
This will be my fifth presentation to the MLA, and my focus will be on the intersection of academic and fan appreciation of the texts and cultural studies that we research. In my submission, "Can My Dissertation Just Be On Fandom? Pursuing a PhD in American Literature While Watching Too Much Anime," I discussed my involvement in fan communities centered around popular and nerd culture—anime, comics, cosplay—while completing a PhD in English literature with specialization in nineteenth-century United States literature and gender studies.

What's Wrong with the Washington Wizards?
For years now, Washington Wizards fans have been told to be patient. They have been told the team has to retool, rebuild and re-evaluate their expectations. They have been patient and as faithful as they can be, but the last two seasons have seen the team's attendance decline and this year is no different.
As the Wizards have begun the season 0-11, they are 22nd in the league in attendance with an average of 15, 710 people in the seats. Rewind the clock five years to 2007, the Wizards were 12th in the league averaging over 18,300 per game and in the space between never dipped lower than 16,204 in 2010.
The summer after, the team drafted John Wall with the No. 1 overall pick and saw increases in interest in the team, until now. As the Wizards struggle and the basketball inches toward being unbearable, fans are finding it less and less worth while to head down to Chinatown in the nation's capital for a game at the Verizon Center.
It's become so bad, that ESPN's Washington Wizards blog posted a video yesterday of a lifelong Wizards fan now living in New York burning his Wizards gear and walking into the light of the new Brooklyn Nets franchise. The video is comical in one sense, damning in another for a franchise that hasn't experienced much joy in recent years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swan98Digro
It doesn't appear things will get much better for Washington in the next few weeks either. Five of the Wizards next six opponents have winning records, with an up and coming Portland team being the one sub .500 opponent.
Fans will resort to finding someone to blame as the season spirals downward, far beyond the worst start in franchise history. Where to start is another matter. Is it the players, the coaches, the scouts, the owner, the general manager, all of the above? In any case, it's pretty shameful when you're the worst team to suit up for a franchise that has made the postseason just five times in the last 23 years.
BLAME EVERYONE
Usually the name of the general manager will pop up as a big source of the team's problems and in this case, that assessment fits. You might think that this is a bit difficult to do since Ernie Grunfeld is never on the court to lead the team to the league's fifth worst turnover ratio, shoot under 30% from three point range or have the worst point differential per game of any team in the league, but the product you see on the Verizon Center floor every night is his creation. He is responsible for the team's lack of reliable leadership and depth.
It becomes a lot easier for fans to blame him because the team is tanking once again, the sixth time in Grunfeld's ten year reign that they'll finish with a losing record. Under him, the Wizards have made the postseason four times, but have advanced past the first round just once, only to lose in the second round. His winning percentage is roughly 39%, the team is over the salary cap and committed to being so next year as well.
Coaches certainly can't be allowed to walk free of blame. Flip Saunders did everything in his power to bury the franchise in just over two seasons in charge of the Wizards after the departure of Eddie Jordan. Saunders finished his reign over the team with a record of 51-130 in his time there. Randy Wittman has done his best, but has managed to compound Saunders failures by leading the team to an 18-42 record since his predecessor was fired seventeen games into last year's lockout shortened season.
The players and the scouts who dug them up are to blame of course. Washington has seen its share of failures no doubt. Trading Gilbert Arenas, post gun fiasco, to Orlando for Rashard Lewis' ridiculous contract was like trading a broken down car for another with no motor.
When you collect a paycheck to play a game, people expect you to do it with some pride and passion, but Washington hasn't seen many players who can claim to carry much of either. This team's play has been more lackluster than a senior center Christmas play and since trading JaVale McGee and Nick Young, has actually found a way to become less interesting. Nene's presence hasn't amounted to much when you consider he has spent most of his time in Washington attached to the bench with injuries.
The squad's lack of a true scorer, with the exception of the injured John Wall, leaves them with a dearth of reliable options in a tight game. That hasn't been much of a problem though, as the Wizards average margin of loss is a league high 6.5 points.
No shoulders are more fit for the blame to settle upon, however, than owner Ted Leonsis. In the case of any team, the owner is the catalyst for success one way or another. The team's suspect play has led to handfuls of players coming in and out of Washington, three coaching changes (soon to be four) in ten years and one bad draft pick after another with the exception of John Wall, an obvious choice in 2010.
What Washington needs now is a complete flush from top to bottom. As many players as possible need to be traded for expiring contracts to clear cap space, Grunfeld fired, the scouting network revamped. Leonsis can't allow the team to slip any further into the doldrums of the Southeast division and expect the fans to continue to show up. They've heard the calls for patience, the excuses about the time it takes. They've stuck around no matter how bad it has sucked and tonight's game against San Antonio promises to bring more pain. Now it's time to do something.
Next spring, this organization has a good chance at acquiring yet another No. 1 pick in the NBA draft lottery. By the time that day comes, Leonsis has to have the Wizards already heading in a new direction, because he won't keep getting chances to get it right before the faithful completely turn their backs. Without major changes, Washington's rich basketball history could be forgotten, a memory to difficult to envision through the haze of mediocrity.

"Sex Limited Inheritance in Drosophila" (1910), by Thomas Hunt Morgan
In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan performed an experiment at Columbia University, in New York City, New York, that helped identify the role chromosomes play in heredity. That year, Morgan was breeding Drosophila, or fruit flies. After observing thousands of fruit fly offspring with red eyes, he obtained one that had white eyes. Morgan began breeding the white-eyed mutant fly and found that in one generation of flies, the trait was only present in males.

"Child Development in the Context of Disaster, War, and Terrorism: Pathways of Risk and Resilience" (2012), by Ann S. Masten and Angela J. Narayan
In 2012 Ann S. Masten and Angela J. Narayan published the article "Child Development in the Context of Disaster, War, and Terrorism: Pathways of Risk and Resilience" in Annual Reviews in Psychology. The authors conducted their study at the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the article, Masten and Narayan review a number of articles to examine and compile the research made since the twenty-first century on the psychological impact of mass trauma, such as war, terrorism, and disasters, on children.
"Experimental Studies on Congenital Malformations" (1959), by James G. Wilson
The article Experimental Studies on Congenital Malformations was published in the Journal of Chronic Diseases in 1959. The author, James G. Wilson, studied embryos and birth defects at the University of Florida Medical School in Gainesville, Florida. In his article, Wilson reviewed experiments on birds and mammals from the previous forty years to provide general principles and guidelines in the study of birth defects and teratogens, which are things that cause birth defects.
Dennis Lo (1963- )
Dennis Lo, also called Yuk Ming Dennis Lo, is a
professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong,
China. In 1997, Lo discovered fetal DNA in maternal
plasma, which is the liquid component of a pregnant woman's
blood. By 2002, Lo distinguished the DNA differences between pregnant women
and their fetuses, enabling scientists to identify fetal DNA in pregnant
women's blood. Lo used his discoveries to develop several
non-invasive and prenatal genetic tests, including tests for blood
The China-US Study on the Prevention of Neural Tube Defects using Folic Acid (1999)
From 1993 to 1995 researchers led by Robert J. Berry from the US Centers for Disease Control headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and Zhu Li from Beijing Medical University in Beijing, China, conducted a collaborative study in China on the prevention of neural tube defects or NTDs using folic acid supplements. NTDs are birth defects in which openings in the spinal cord or the brain that occur during early development remain after birth. Neural-tube formation occurs in early pregnancy, often before a woman knows she is pregnant and therefore before she has begun taking prenatal vitamins.
Sidney Q. Cohlan (1915-1999)
Sidney Q. Cohlan studied birth defects in the US during the twentieth century. Cohlan helped to discover that if a pregnant woman ate too much vitamin A her fetus faced a higher than normal risk of teratogenic effects, such as cleft palate. A teratogen is a substance that causes malformation of a developing organism. Cohlan also identified the teratogenic effects of several other substances including a lack of normal magnesium and prenatal exposure to the antibiotic tetracycline.

Norbert Freinkel (1926–1989)
During the twentieth century, Norbert Freinkel studied hormones and diabetes in the US. Freinkel conducted many experiments that enabled him to determine the factors that influence hormones of the thyroid gland to bind to proteins and to determine the effects that those thyroid hormones have on surrounding tissues. Furthermore, Freinkel researched gestational diabetes, which is diabetes that occurs for the first time during a women's pregnancy. That type of diabetes is caused by a change in the way a woman's body responds to insulin, a hormone made in the body.
Karl Oskar Illmensee (1939–)
Karl Oskar Illmensee studied the cloning and reproduction of fruit flies, mice, and humans in the US and Europe during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Illmensee used nuclear transfer techniques (cloning) to create early mouse embryos from adult mouse cells, a technique biologists used in later decades to help explain how embryonic cells function during development. In the early 1980s, Illmensee faced accusations of fraud when others were unable to replicate the results of his experiments with cloned mouse embryos.

Paternal Sperm Telomere Elongation and Its Impact on Offspring Fitness
Telomeres are structures at the ends of DNA strands that get longer in the DNA of sperm cells as males age. That phenomenon is different for most other types of cells, for which telomeres get shorter as organisms age. In 1992, scientists showed that telomere length (TL) in sperm increases with age in contrast to most cell of most other types. Telomeres are the protective caps at the end of DNA strands that preserve chromosomal integrity and contribute to DNA length and stability.
"Testing the Kin Selection Theory: Who Controls the Investments?" from The Ants (1990), by Bert Hölldobler and Edward O. Wilson
In "Testing the Kin Selection Theory: Who Controls the Investments?" Bert Hölldobler and Edward Osborne Wilson discussed the predictive power of kin selection theory, a theory about the evolution of social behaviors. As part of Hölldobler's and Wilson's 1990 book titled The Ants, Hölldobler and Wilson compared predictions about the reproductive practices of ants to data about the reproductive practices of ants. They showed that the data generally supported the expected behaviors proposed by kin selection theory.
Allan Charles Wilson (1934-1991)
Allan C. Wilson studied genes, proteins, and body structures of animals and humans in the US during the second half of the twentieth century. Wilson also studied human evolution. Although morphology and behaviors of humans (Homo sapiens) and great apes differ, Wilson found that they have biochemical and genetic similarities. Wilson and his colleagues calculated the time period of humans' and African apes' common ancestor.
Menstrual Hygiene Management in Low-Income Countries
Menstrual hygiene management, or MHM, is a concept that concerns girls' and women's access to the appropriate information and resources to manage menstruation. In December 2012, the Joint Monitoring Program, or JMP, was one of the first organizations to define MHM as a global development goal. Since then, other organizations like WaterAid and the United Nations have expanded MHM's definition to include menstrual education that is biologically accurate and free of taboo and stigma.
The Cell in Development and Inheritance (1900), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
The Cell in Development and Inheritance, by Edmund Beecher Wilson, provided a textbook introduction to cell biology for generations of biologists in the twentieth century. In his book, Wilson integrated information about development, inheritance, chromosomes, organelles, and the structure and functions of cells. First published in 1896, the book started with 371 pages, grew to 483 pages in the second edition that appeared in 1900, and expanded to 1,231 pages by the third and final edition in 1925.
Experiments on the Reproductive Costs of a Pure Capital Breeder, the Children's Python (Antaresia childreni) (2013), by Olivier Lourdais, Sophie Lorioux, and Dale F. DeNardo
In 2013, Olivier Lourdais, Sophie Lorioux, and Dale DeNardo conducted a study on the impact of the reproductive effort on the muscle size and the constriction strength of female Children's pythons. Children's pythons are pure capital breeders, meaning that they do not eat during vitellogenesis, a process in which egg-laying or oviparous species allocate bodily resources including fat, water, and protein to follicles in the ovary that develop into eggs.
Josef Warkany (1902–1992)
Josef Warkany studied the environmental causes of birth defects in the United States in the twentieth century. Warkany was one of the first researchers to show that factors in the environment could cause birth defects, and he helped to develop guidelines for the field of teratology, the study of birth defects. Prior to Warkany's work, scientists struggled to explain if or how environmental agents could cause birth defects. Warkany demonstrated that a deficiency or excess of vitamin A in maternal nutrition could cause birth defects.
Friedrich Tiedemann (1781-1861)
Friedrich Tiedemann studied the anatomy of humans and animals in the nineteenth century in Germany. He published on zoological subjects, on the heart of fish, the anatomy of amphibians and echinoderms, and the lymphatic and respiratory system in birds. In addition to his zoological anatomy, Tiedemann, working with the chemist Leopold Gmelin, published about how the digestive system functioned.
Edwin Stephen Goodrich (1868-1946)
Edwin Stephen Goodrich studied the structures of animals in England during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Goodrich studied how animals develop to identify their parts and to establish the evolutionary relationships between different species. Goodrich established that body structures can shift their positions relative to an organism's body during evolution, and he hypothesized that body structures can share ancestry (homology) between organisms of different species, even without identical body placement.

The Ghana Empire lay in the Sahel region to the north of the West African gold fields, and was able to profit by controlling the trans-Saharan gold trade, which turned Ghana into an empire of legendary wealth.
Located within the present-day borders of Mauritania, Mali, and Senegal, medieval Ghana literally sat on a gold mine. The land's abundance of resources allowed Ghana's rulers to engage in years of prosperous trading. Strategic governing coupled with great location led to the rapid emergence of a very wealthy empire.
The main source of wealth for the Empire of Ghana was the mining of iron and gold. Iron was used to produce strong weapons and tools that made the empire strong. Gold was used to trade with other nations for needed resources like livestock, tools, and cloth.

Arab traders crossed the Sahara to Ghana, which they called the "Land of Gold." The king collected taxes from merchants who came through his empire. They had to pay taxes on goods they were selling and goods they bought. … With this wealth, the kings of Ghana built a strong army.
The Ghana Empire grew rich from this increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. … When, in 1957, the Gold Coast became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain its independence from colonial rule, it renamed itself Ghana in honor of the long-gone empire.
The most powerful of these states was the Songhai Empire, which expanded rapidly beginning with king Sonni Ali in the 1460s. By 1500, it had risen to stretch from Cameroon to the Maghreb, the largest state in African history.
Ghana's rulers gained incredible wealth from trade, taxes on traders and on the people of Ghana, and their own personal stores of gold. They used their wealth to build an army and an empire. Extensive trade routes brought the people of Ghana into contact with people of many different cultures and beliefs.

From Selfishness to Self-Love According to Aristotle
What's Up with the Use of Euphemisms?
Intimacy and Privacy - The Right to Protect It
The Myth of Aphrodite and Ares
Aristotle once said, "he wondered whether a man should love himself most or if it is better to love others." This wise Greek philosopher postulated a unique vision on selfishness and its intimate relationship with self-love. What do you think about getting to know a bit more about his singular deduction?
Before continuing, we must state that we are going to focus on his famous work "Nicomachean Ethics." To be more concrete, we are going straight to chapter VIII of the ninth book, which is entitled "On selfishness or self-love."
Love for oneself or self-love according to Aristotle
Through this chapter of Aristotle's extensive work, the philosopher deductively breaks down what he thinks a virtuous man must be like. In this work, the author focuses on the comparison between the love for oneself or self-love and selfishness.
This philosopher believes that the real facts contradict theories on selfishness. If indeed it is true that loving one's best friend is virtuous, he also finds that we ourselves are the best friends we can have. That is to say that you are your best friend. So then, he wonders: is it selfish to love yourself? As is logical, the closest relationship that can be had in any person's life is the relationship with himself. At the end of the day, who do we live with 24 hours a day and who do we have to put up with, no matter their mood?
The two kinds of selfishness that Aristotle stipulates
Once the philosopher establishes the precepts of self-love, he starts in on an explanation of the two meanings that he finds in selfishness. If indeed he believes that the term has a pejorative and shameful aspect to it, he also considers there to be a much more elevated variable.
The first kind of selfishness that Aristotle shows us is focused on the love of worldly things. The philosopher equates this sort of action with that of the village, that is to say, with the majority, which he calls the vulgar. This is without a doubt the result of an excessively classist society like the one that existed in Ancient Greece.
In this case, Aristotle identifies this first kind of selfishness as the most vivid worry over bodily pleasures. In other words, these people keep the greatest riches, honors, and goods for themselves. They demonstrate true devotion in accumulating material goods, and the more valuable it is, the better. That is to say that their only goal in life is to satisfy their passions and desires, which Aristotle considers to mean listening to the most irrational part of the soul. He observes this as a sort of vulgar custom, deplorable and very generalized. As such, it would be a reproachable attitude.
"The term self loving can be used as a criticism if a man takes more than his fair share of money, honor, and bodily pleasures for in this case he indulges his animal appetites and the irrational part of his nature."
But later, this classical philosopher states that those men who were guided by the highest levels of justice and wisdom are also selfish. However, they are people who seek virtue, good work, and beauty. He sees nothing reproachable in this behavior.
Selfishness gives way to self-love
We want to continue by talking about this second kind of selfishness that Aristotle looks into. How can we not call a person selfish who dedicates himself, body and soul, to the search for wisdom, justice, and beauty? They also need to satisfy their own needs and this is their only goal in life.
Nevertheless, the philosopher attributes great value to these people. That is to say, he considers the good man the most selfish of all, but this selfishness is not harmful, but rather, noble. It is not vulgar, for reason is the master of him. It will never be passion, which is the case with the previously mentioned group, only focused on material goods.
According to Aristotle, these noble but selfish men focus their efforts on practicing virtue, for this is where delight is to be found. And this attitude ends up enriching the entire community. This is how they discover both personal benefit and service to others.
For the Greek philosopher, virtue is the highest of all goods that can be had. So while the virtuous man does what he has to and works intelligently and with great reason, the wicked man does it with profound discord between his duty and what he is really doing.
"The virtuous man will do many things on the behalf of his friends and his homeland."
Here, it would be good to conclude that Aristotle finds the good and noble man to be selfish. But from his virtue and righteous behavior emerge gifts that his friends, his homeland, and his own community benefit from. He is a committed person who looks down upon material wealth, but enjoys the benefits of honor and dignity.
For a person like Aristotle, the upright man prefers to enjoy a second of pleasure to a life of indignity. He is generous and self-sacrificing when this is demanded of him. He will be capable of abandoning everything for those who need him. He will have no problem giving up the glory of an action to another person. That is to say that he is someone who knows how to be selfish and at the same time a person with elevated self-love.

As a consumer, it's important to be armed with the right information so you can make sound financial decisions. The first step is to be aware of your credit report and score. By logging on to AnnualCreditReport.com, you can check your reports for free once every 12 months from each of the major credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. But these reports will not give you your credit score. Lenders and creditors use this number to determine whether they will work with you. So, knowing your score before applying for a job, apartment or for any type of credit will give you an idea of whether you'll be approved — and what type of interest rate you will be paying.
You also get free credit monitoring for your TransUnion report, a credit factors analysis that summarizes key details from your credit report, and a free credit score simulator that shows you how various actions, like adding a new credit card or increasing your credit line, are likely to affect your credit score. Credit Karma also offers a free auto insurance score.
Credit Karma does not sell its customers' information to advertisers, but it does recommend specific financial products based on your credit profile and it makes money if you open an account with one of its advertising partners through the Credit Karma website.
Credit Sesame is another credit monitoring service, but is slightly different than Credit Karma. This one gives members access to their VantageScore from TransUnion. The site also gives you personalized tips based on your credit profile and goals. And finally, it gathers all your credit information and provides you with money-saving options. If you're overpaying in fees and interest, it will give you options you can use to lower those payments. The site also provides credit monitoring and alerts in case your profile or identity is compromised. Consumers can also get $50,000 in fraud resolution assistance for free through Credit Sesame.
Like Credit Karma, this one doesn't require a credit card to join.
Quizzle offers consumers a free VantageScore credit score and a free Equifax credit report every three months. Like the other sites in this article, Quizzle doesn't require users to provide a credit card. The company was founded in 2008 and joined the bankrate.com group of companies in 2015. According to the website, about 2 million people are registered with Quizzle.
When you view your credit score through your Quizzle account, you'll see how much factors like your payment history and age and type of credit affect your credit score. Quizzle also provides credit card recommendations and home loan recommendations and receives compensation from those companies. The premium service, Quizzle Pro, provides a monthly credit report and score, 24/7 credit monitoring and other benefits for $8 per month; Quizzle Pro+ contains everything in Quizzle Pro along with several identity theft services for $15 per month.
You can get two free credit scores through Credit.com: An Experian score and your VantageScore 3.0. You'll have to sign up for a free account, and your score is updated once a month. And you won't be required to put in a credit card to register. The site also offers a free credit report card that shows how the information in your credit report affects your score, and provides tips for improving your score. Credit.com does not sell your data to third parties — it makes money when users apply for offers through promotional links on its website.
Note: The information below comes from going through the sign-up process myself and creating an account.
By providing your name, address, date of birth and last four digits of your Social Security number then answering a few questions to verify your identity, you'll gain access to WalletHub's free credit report and score service. At the end of registration, the site also asks a few personal questions like your annual income, monthly expenses, savings, most important financial need and credit card debt. The score you'll get is your TransUnion VantageScore and the credit report data are also from TransUnion.
By signing up for each of these five free services, you'll get a broad view of what your credit score looks like with each of the major credit bureaus. And if you combine CreditKarma or WalletHub's free TransUnion credit reports and Quizzle's quarterly free Equifax credit reports with the free credit reports you can get through www.AnnualCreditReport.com, you'll be in a better position to catch any identity theft in its early stages.
Discover Card holders receive their FICO TransUnion credit score for free on each monthly statement. Customers who are establishing their credit history may not see a score until several months of payment history. One factor to consider: Only the primary cardholder will receive a free credit score, while authorized users will not.
Barclaycard customers get a free FICO score on their monthly statements. In addition, they can see up to two factors that affect their credit score. These might be things like "balances on bank card or revolving accounts too high compared to credit limits" or "The total of all balances on your open accounts is too high." This information can help you improve your credit score by changing the way you use credit. Barclaycard also provides a chart showing how your credit score has changed over time once you have three months of credit score history.
Capital One rebranded its Credit Tracker with a new name: CreditWise. This service is available to anyone, whether or not you're a cardholder. Through this service, you can get access to your VantageScore 3.0 every month, and you can get alerted to any changes to it. One of the key features of this service is its simulator. This allows you to understand which factors will affect your score and overall credit health — and how. You can see what impact making a large $1,500 purchase on a credit card or taking out a $10,000 will have on your score.
First National Bank offers its credit card users a free FICO Bankcard Score 9, which is a score tailored to credit card lending. It is not, in other words, the score a mortgage lender would use when deciding whether you can borrow money to buy a house, but it will still give you some idea of where you stand. Your score is updated once a month.
As a Walmart credit card holder, you'll receive your FICO score for free each month if you enroll in electronic monthly statements. You'll also be able to see two reason codes affecting your score.
If you're applying for a loan soon and want to get the broadest picture of what your credit might look like to lenders, you'll want to access several free services to see how your scores vary by bureau and by scoring method. If you just want a general idea of where you stand, the free score on your monthly credit card statement should be good enough.

I enjoyed the end to this series and as usual Maria V. Snyder keeps me turning the pages. There is war and chaos and I am pleased I read it so soon after the second book as there were a lot of characters to remember. I liked the bond part of the story and the happy ending though I think too many of the good guys survived compared to all the bad guys dying.
I have read a lot of her books and I just found out she has written a new book in the Study series but it also says it ends on a cliffhanger so I will just wait with that till the next book is released next year and then maybe even reread the 3 first books in the series.


Our predicted best XI from Week 23's fixtures.
Premier League action took a backseat last weekend with the FA Cup Third Round getting under way.
Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United all safely progressed through to the next round, while Liverpool will require a replay if they're to get past stubborn League Two dwellers, Plymouth Argyle.
Week 23 brings 10 more league fixtures as Antonio Conte's pace-setters look to get back to winning ways after losing 2-0 to Spurs last time out.
New Swansea manager Paul Clement will be looking to cause an upset against Arsenal and West Ham face Crystal Palace in a tasty London derby.
As always, we've cast our eye over the fixtures and tipped who couldl be the key player in each.
Is there any player across Europe right now that's in better form than Dele Alli? The £5.0m rated mifielder has an incredible total of 69 TFF points in the last six weeks, propelling him straight to the top of the TFF form guide.
That run has included seven goals and six key contributions, and the 20 year-old is now in 19% of all teams. What's more, he'll be relishing the opportunity to take on a West Brom side that will be without Jonny Evans in defence, although Tony Pulis' Baggies are notoriously resilient against Spurs.
Mauricio Pochettino has been deploying a 3-4-3 formation in recent weeks, which means Rose has benefitted from even more freedom to get forward. He has a goal and two key contributions in the last three game weeks that he's featured in.
Three league defeats in a row has seen Southampton drop to 10th, while Burnley's two wins in three means they're just one point behind the Saints.
Andre Gray scored a hat-trick against Sunderland in Week 21 and should start in attack alongside £3.6m rated Ashley Barnes.
Defensively, Southampton have issues, with captain Jose Fonte handing in a transfer request and Virgil van Dijk also becoming the centre of a transfer tug-of-war.
Charlie Austin is also absent so Jay Rodriguez is likely to continue in attack, returning to Turf Moor where he used to ply his trade.
Burnley are ruthless at home and their central defensive stalwhart Michael Keane should be set for maximum points against a side that struggles to score goals. Only Middlesbrough (17) and Hull (17) have scored less than the Saints this season (19).
Hull desperately need a win. They're rock bottom of the table, three points from safety, and haven't picked up a win since Southampton in Week 13.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are up in ninth, one place above their south-coast rivals Southampton.
But with a new manager in charge, the Tigers should get a much-needed boost, while the Cherries have lost Nathan Ake in defence as he was recalled by parent club Chelsea and may lose momentum.
Could there be a rare Hull win on the cards?
The term 'one man team' is thrown about these days, but Robert Snodgrass has 102 TFF points this season - 55 more than the second-highest scoring player at Hull (Jake Livermore - 47). Seven goals and 10 key contributions is an impressive return in a team that has struggled in front of goal this season.
David Moyes has got to be looking at these home matches as ones where three points are possible. The Black Cats are still in the bottom three but are now just one point behind Crystal Palace are picked up a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Liverpool last time out.
Stoke's form has been up and down, typical of a side that are sat in mid-table, but their 2-0 defeat at home to Wolves in the FA Cup has given their season another setback.
Jordan Pickford remains out for the hosts so Vito Mannone should continue between the sticks.
Stoke forward Peter Crouch has two goals and a key contribution in his last three matches so will be pushing for a start too.
11 goals already this season, including both against Liverpool in Week 21. This match has a Jermain Defoe goal written all over it.
The Gunners dropped out of the top four after being held to a 3-3 draw to Bournemouth last time out, although that must feel like a point gained rather than two dropped.
They were 3-0 down at one point but goals from Alexis Sanchez, Lucas Perez and Olivier Giroud rescued a draw for Arsene Wenger's side.
His opposite number this week is Paul Clement, who will need to work some magic if Swansea are to beat the drop.
It's probably too early for new signing Luciano Narsingh to start, so Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente will remain the hosts' most attacking threats.
Despite the question marks around his future at the club, it's impossible to look past Alexis Sanchez. He's second in the six-week form guide, four points behind Dele Alli.
Statistically, this has a low-scoring, dull draw written all over it. Which, naturally, means we can expect a goalfest at Vicarage Road.
Neither side are clear of the drop yet but 'Boro certainly need the three points a lot more.
Watford have lost four of their last five matches, drawing the other, while the Teessiders have just one win in six themselves.
Negredo has been in decent form as of late, scoring three goals and adding two key contributions in his last five matches. He looks the pick of the bunch in this one.
The all London-affair between West Ham and Crystal Palace this weekend won't include £5.3m-rated midfielder Dimitri Payet. West Ham's playmaker has demanded to be sold and said that he won't play for the club again, despite Slaven Bilic's intentions.
As for Palace, Sam Allardyce is still awaiting his first win as new manager, having drawn against Watford then suffering back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Swansea. The latter was particularly scathing, as it brought the Swans within just one point of their safety.
It's hard to pick a goal scorer in this one, but considering how shaky the Palace defence is, Andy Carroll gets the nod.
Champions Leicester host title-favourites Chelsea, with the Blues seeking a win after their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Spurs.
The Foxes need three points, as they currently sit in 15th with just one win in their last five matches.
Having said that, Claudio Ranieri will be keen to get one over his former club but will have to do it without Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani, both are away with Algeria on African Cup of Nations duty.
Courtois has 11 clean sheets this season and could make it 12 at the King Power on Saturday.
After a string of poor results, Everton have found form once again, winning two of their last three and rising back up to seventh.
City have won four of their last five and now have Sergio Aguero back in attack after he missed most of the December fixtures through suspension.
New Toffees signing Morgan Schneiderlin could be handed a start, although it's probably come too early for the £3.3m rated midfielder.
10 TFF points against West Ham is enough to earn Toure a spot in this week's team.
Game of the week, and one of the season, the match between Manchester United and Liverpool on Sunday is massive.
Jurgen Klopp has clearly prioritised this fixture over both the FA Cup and EFL Cup, putting out weak teams in both, while Mourinho has picked up wins.
What's more, the Red Devils have won nine matches in a row in all competitions and in Zlatan Ibrahimovic have the third top player in the six-week form guide.
Lallana is the man that makes Liverpool tick in midfield and if the Merseysiders are to leave with points, it'll be thanks to his creativity.
Kyle Walker has been fantastic this season, with seven key contributions and eight clean sheets in his 19 starting appearances. He's tipped to get forward at will on the opposite flank to team mate Danny Rose, with Spurs needing three points to tighten their grip on the top four.


BOSTON, July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A newly published study in the Journals of Gerontology has found that a six-month supplementation with Neurophenol®, a polyphenol-rich extract of blueberry and grape, improved episodic memory in healthy older adults. The potentially groundbreaking results from researchers at the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF) in Canada and the University of Bordeaux in France demonstrated an improvement of eight years of cognitive age in study subjects, a significant discovery in an era when an estimated 16 million people in the United States are living with, and suffering from, cognitive decline.
"In our observations, individuals with mild cognitive impairments and who performed at the level of an 83-year-old at baseline using the CANTAB battery, scored like 70-year-olds after supplementation with Neurophenol®1," explained lead researcher Yves Desjardins. "These findings hold exciting promise for the power polyphenols can have in treating, and preventing, some age-related cognitive decline—a devastating side effect of the aging process."
Unlike Alzheimer's disease, ARCD is a nonpathological impairment of cognitive function that usually develops progressively from midlife onward. As the population continues to age, ARCD is becoming a critical issue. Previous research has suggested polyphenols from fruits such as blueberries and grapes may have the ability to support memory and neurological health as we age.
"As part of our long-standing and successful collaboration with the world-class research team at INAF, we have consistently explored nutritional interventions with real promise for positively impacting health," explained Barry Ritz, Chief Scientific Officer for Atrium Innovations. "This collaboration has allowed us to meaningfully contribute to nutrition science and create innovative new products to address important issues, such as cognitive decline in the aging population."
The study evaluated the results of 215 healthy male and female subjects between 60 and 70 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 30. The study used a bicentric, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled model. The study was divided into three visits at investigational sites and two follow-up calls. Subjects were seen for a pre-inclusion visit, followed in two to four weeks by a baseline visit, and an end-of-study visit 24 weeks after the first visit. Follow-up calls were made eight and 16 weeks after the first visit. All participants' Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were 26 < MMSE score ≤ 29. To minimize the confounding effects of a variety of diet, health and lifestyle factors, all participants had to meet criteria and be capable and willing to comply with protocol in order to be eligible for the study. Subjects were randomized and assigned to receive either the active treatment, a polyphenol-rich extract from grape (Vitis vinifera L.) and wild blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) (PEGB), or the placebo. Subjects consumed two 300mg capsules of Neurophenol® orally each day for 24 weeks. The study was not designed to look at a rate of change in cognition over time. The results provide evidence that supplementation with specific polyphenols from grape and blueberry improves verbal episodic memory in healthy elderly people. Moreover, it was demonstrated that a nutritional intervention with polyphenols is able to reverse the episodic memory alterations in healthy elderly people with a lower level of memory performance.

What is Correlation
Correlations & Investments
Ice Cream + Murders
What is Correlation?
A statistical measure known as correlation expresses how closely two variables are related linearly. It's a typical technique for describing straightforward connections without explicitly stating cause and consequence. In other terms, it's the relationship between the movements of two variables. Correlation is measured on a scale of -1 to 1, where two variables with + 1.0 move in perfect synchrony, and with a correlation of -1.0 move opposite of each other. Additionally, correlation can be applied to a variety of data types. You may have guessed how certain events would link to one another in some circumstances, while you may have been surprised by the relationship in others. It's crucial to realize that correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
Correlation can be viewed in three ways… Positive, Negative, and No Correlation, which can be seen below:
A positive correlation would be between 0.01 -1. This indicates that the two variables changed in the same direction, either upwards or downwards.
A negative correlation would be between -1 to -0.01. This indicates that the two variables changed in the opposite direction, either upwards or downwards.
If the correlation is 0, there is no connection between the two variables. In other words, while one variable changed, the other moved in another unrelated direction.
How Does Correlations Play a Role in Investments?
Simply said, using correlation data can assist you in diversifying and reducing the risk in your portfolio. A portfolio with high correlations can increase the risk. A high correlation in your portfolio implies that your investments will move in concert with one another. With high portfolio correlations, when times are tough for one of your investments, they're tough for all of them. On the other hand, if your highly correlated investments are rising, it may seem quite nice, since all your investments will be experiencing similar positive returns. And while risk can never be totally eliminated, you can lower your portfolio's overall volatility and potential maximum drawdown (which determines the value of the lowest dip and the greatest peak preceding the trough, which together represents the biggest decrease in the investment's value) by assembling a mix of assets that are less correlated, uncorrelated, or negatively correlated.
Ice Cream Cones and Murders
When we observe a correlation in two or more variables – lines sloping together, bars rising together, or points on a scatterplot grouping – it's tempting to make assumptions about causes and effects.
Unfortunately, there is a limitation to correlation known as a spurious correlation. When two variables seem to have a statistical relationship because we find a strong positive or negative correlation, but are, in fact, unrelated to each other and have no causal relationship, this is known as a spurious correlation. In other words, although it may seem that one variable's values are causing changes in the other, this is not the case. If we are not cautious, we may encounter behavioral biases (irrational attitudes or actions that have the power to subtly affect our decision-making) by not being able to distinguish between genuine correlations and spurious correlations.
Ice Cream Sales Lead to Higher Homicide Rates is the perfect example of this. There is ample data to support the claim that rising temperatures increase crime. This is most likely because we are more prone to congregate and drink in the summer after work, which gives criminals more places to operate in the evenings. In addition, ice cream sales are greater in the hot summer months. If one were to analyze the data for murders and ice cream cone sales, they would clearly see a correlation between the two, rising through the spring and peaking in the hottest parts of the summer. It would be tempting to argue that ice cream sales cause murders or that murderers enjoy a cool refreshing ice cream cone after committing their crime. But alas, ice cream sales are murders are a spurious correlation and the two factors have nothing to do with one another.
Let's Get Into Some Real Data!
Figure 1: 1, 3, and 5 year Correlation Comparison for the S&P 500, Russell 2000, Nasdaq, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Facebook, and Medifast.
Getting into the data, we can see comparisons between Benchmarks (S&P, Russell 2000, NASDAQ), Crypto (Ethereum, BitCoin), and Stocks (META, MED). The goal is to track how each comparison's correlation trends evolve over time. As we can see, some trends continue while others undergo significant shifts throughout the course of 1, 3, and 5 years.
Let's break it down…
Benchmark vs. Benchmark
The correlations between the 3 benchmarks are the highest (around 0.90). This indicates they are postively correlated, and the benchmarks' movement is closely related.
Crypto vs. Crypto
Both well-known cryptos display a similar pattern, with a correlation of 0.80 indicating that any movement made by ETH will be closely followed by BTC.
Stock vs. Stock
This is when things start to get interesting because stocks can come from a wide range of industries and sectors, and as was already mentioned, this is where portfolios can reduce overall volatility. The relationship between META & MED, which is roughly 0.30, is a wonderful illustration of this reduction in correlation in the attempt to diversify. According to this information, a rough earnings announcement for META should not have a significant impact on the movement of MED due to the low correlation.
Benchmark vs. Crypto
With the 5 years having the lowest correlation, we can clearly observe a tendency between all of these benchmarks and cryptocurrencies. However, as the data becomes more recent, the correlations rise up to 0.60. This demonstrates that cryptocurrency's advantage as a means of reducing equity risk is gradually eroding.
Benchmark vs. Stock
Because benchmarks contain bundles of assets that most likely include securities in the sectors that the equities belong in, we observe comparable correlations across the board. However, the correlation trend has decreased throughout the past year of data, reaching a correlation as low as 0.30.
Crypto vs. Stock
Last but not least, some of the lowest correlations in this dataset are between cryptocurrency and the stocks in the sample. For instance. there is no association between ETH and MED, as seen by the correlation falling to as low as 0.04. This indicates that even if ETH has outstanding returns, the movement for MED shouldn't be independent of movements in ETH.
Let's Change Our Perspective!
Figure 2: Weekly return spread for ETH & SPY, NAS & SPY, META & SPY for 1 year.
There are numerous ways to view correlation. It can be visualized using a real correlation matrix and turned into a bar chart like Figure 1, for example. However, correlation in the case of Figure 2 can be observed indirectly. It can be inferred indirectly by examining the weekly spread between two assets; the difference will demonstrate the direction and magnitude of their joint movement.
It is clear to see that the sample's ETH-SPY (Dark Blue line) has the largest magnitude. This indicates that ETH returns exhibit greater movement volatility as compared to the SPY. Figure 1, which has a correlation of about 0.60, supports this as well.
The second weekly return spread, NAS-SPY (Black Line), has the lowest magnitude in the sample. It remains stable throughout the year and demonstrates how closely the returns on both assets fluctuate.
The magnitude of META-SPY (Light Blue Line) is roughly equivalent to that of ETH-SPY. The return spread does not, however, typically exhibit the same level of extreme volatility. But what's intriguing is that the correlation is nearly identical (around 0.50).
However… let's look at correlation one last way.
Figure 3: 5 year weekly return plotted for the S&P500 & Nasdaq, Medifast & Facebook, S&P 500 & Ethereum, and Medifast & Ethereum
The purpose of using a scatter plot demonstrates the connection between two variables over a period of time. One variable's values are displayed on the horizontal axis, and the other variable's values are displayed on the vertical axis. On the graph, each data point is a representation of the returns for the two variables for a given date. The direction, shape, and intensity of the relationship can be used to define the overall pattern of a scatterplot.
S&P 500 & Nasdaq
Very tight relationship with defined pattern
Medifast & Facebook
Straight Line/Clustered
Moderate relationship with few outliers
S&P 500 & Ethereum
Clustered
Moderate relationship with outliers and faint pattern
Medifast & Ethereum
Weak relationship with faint pattern
Understanding the relationship between two assets can be enhanced by shifting your perspective. Understanding the magnitude and pattern of the asset returns helps illustrate why the assets are either closely correlated or somewhat correlated in Figures 2 & 3.
Overall, there are numerous ways to represent correlation. Examples include examining the pattern in a scatter plot or the trend in a bar chart. Understanding the magnitude, pattern, and direction of the connection between two assets can be aided by statistical tools, charts, and graphs. Making investing decisions when building a portfolio to diversify and formulate a strategy can thus be aided by correlation.
There are some caveats to correlation, though. First, cause and correlation are not the same. Even while the statistics may lead us to believe there is a positive or negative link between the two assets, we must be mindful that this does not necessarily mean there is one.
Correlation is a tool that aids us in constructing a portfolio that is diversified and reduces risk to the desired level. However, correlation is only a tool in our toolbox and must be deployed with a variety of other portfolio construction tools.

When it comes to providing desperately needed services for children who have been beaten, starved, sexually abused or otherwise mistreated, the state of Mississippi offers what is probably the worst-case scenario.
Mississippi gets more than 25,000 allegations of abuse and neglect each year, and it can't handle them.
Way back in 1992 the Child Welfare League of America issued a blistering report about the backward state of affairs in Mississippi. The league warned that vulnerable children would suffer irreparable harm if steps weren't taken to reduce caseloads, increase staffing and locate additional foster care and adoptive homes.
In 2001, Sue Perry, the state's director of family and children's services, warned top state officials that "the crisis needs to be addressed by whomever has the power to rectify the situation -- before a tragedy occurs."
She told the governor that Mississippi's children had been placed at such great risk that some would die. "I am sorry to inform you," she said, "that this has already happened in DeSoto County. A 19-month-old child was brutally beaten by his stepfather in a case known to this agency."
Warnings don't get much louder, but the honchos in Mississippi were in no mood to listen. These were poor kids, after all. What claim did they have on the state's resources?
Two years after Ms. Perry resigned, Gov. Haley Barbour acknowledged that the state's Department of Human Services had "collapsed for lack of management and a lack of leadership." Collapsed. That was the governor's word. Was he serious? Was he planning to do something about it? You must be joking. He made the comment as he was announcing additional budget cuts for the agency.
When a state abandons its obligation to care for its vulnerable residents, the last best hope has tended to be the courts. Enter Children's Rights, an advocacy organization based in New York. Over the years, it has filed lawsuits in a number of states that have led to the overhaul of failing child welfare systems, and it is currently pressing a class-action suit on behalf of abused and neglected children in Mississippi.
In that kind of system, kids suffer and may even die without ever coming close to the attention of the authorities.
The kids who do come to the attention of the system frequently get short shrift. Some are placed in settings that are as dangerous -- or more dangerous -- than their original environments.
How bad is Mississippi? In the papers compiled by Children's Rights for its lawsuit is a reference to testimony by a key official of the Department of Human Services, who said the state would "not necessarily investigate" whether sexual abuse had occurred if a "little girl" contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
This is the sort of thing Children's Rights is trying to correct with its lawsuit. It seeks nothing less than to compel the governor and other officials to meet their obligation to protect and care for the most vulnerable children in their state. And that can only be done by transforming a system that at the moment can best be described as grotesque.

Trailblazers in LDS Film: Michael Flynn
President Spencer W. Kimball famously predicted that Latter-Day Saint artists, including filmmakers, would tell the story of the Savior, the Restoration, and the Latter-Day Saints with vigor, talent, and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Though the Mormon Cinema genre has been hit and miss, there have been enough solid artistic and spiritual successes for that prophesy to begin, in small part, to come true. With that in mind, I thought it time that Meridian's readers be introduced to the trailblazers who are bringing President Kimball's sentiments to fruition. It is my hope to feature, from time to time, interviews with the directors, actors, and other artists who have brought the story of our faith, our people, and our culture to the screen.
My inaugural interview is with Michael Flynn, director and co-writer/producer of the touching film Midway to Heaven (see my review here) which is to be released for purchase on DVD April 5. Michael is well known to fans of LDS cinema for his portrayal of the mission president in The Best Two Years (which he also produced) and as Pontius Pilate in To This End Was I Born (also known as The Lamb of God). Michael has an extensive background on stage and screen, and it was my privilege to have him answer a few questions about Midway to Heaven, The Best Two Years, and playing the man who gave up Christ to be crucified.
I must publicly apologize to and thank Michael. I had this idea fairly close to my deadline and asked him to be interviewed with little time to spare; he graciously agreed. Though I'm sure he would've liked more time to think about and answer the questions more thoroughly, his insights here are nonetheless fascinating.
Jonathan Decker: First of all Michael, congratulations on Midway to Heaven. It's such a moving and charming film. My wife and I had a great time with it; we found it to be a great date movie (though I'm certain it would be enjoyed in any context). What attracted you to this particular project?
Michael Flynn: I contacted Dean Hughes, the author of the novel, in the summer of 2008. I had read some of his work and liked his style. He and my partner, Shelley Bingham Husk, sat down with Dean and expressed an interest in making a movie of one of his books. He was a fan of the film The Best Two YearsI, and so decided to give us a shot. I found out later that he never really believed that we would actually make the film. So, that's where it started. Shelley and I worked on the script, raised money, found others to jump on board with the project and we went into production in September, 2010.
JD: Many films stumble when they try to do too many things at once. Midway to Heaven is a family drama, a romantic comedy, and a tale of loss and healing, yet it strikes a nice balance in tone. Did that come naturally, or was it something you struggled with?
MF: The film is based on the novel which pretty much had the balance of which you speak. The struggle we had was how to transform Dean's story into a screenplay. Film, being a different medium than a novel, requires a different story structure. That was the challenge. We loved the characters Dean had created but we had to change them around a bit to make it work.
JD: What have been some of the responses from moviegoers about the film that have meant most to you? Do you feel that it affected people the way you'd hoped?
MF: We have had very nice feedback. People have talked of coping with loss and how the film helped them reflect on loss in their life and deal with it, perhaps, a little more appropriately. There are many kinds of loss in life. I think the film deals with several. Each main character, with the possible exception of David, deals with significant loss. And gain. Lacing that with humor and sensitivity was a challenge, but it was also very rewarding.
JD It seems that you shied away from being explicit with Gospel themes, allowing instead that the values and goodness of these Latter-Day Saint characters speak for themselves. Was that a conscious decision? Any regrets about not making the faith more front and center?
MF: That was definitely a conscious decision. I liked the idea that the Gospel came through in the actions and decisions of the characters. In that regard it is a different kind of film for the LDS clientele. There are a lot of films that contain prayers, baptisms, and the like. There's nothing wrong with that. Not at all. But this story didn't really call for that and we made a decision to not put that into the story. Regrets? Perhaps. We have had some feedback that some patrons wanted more of a Gospel presence in the film. I suppose we could have added some of that. Personally, I like the way it stands. I like that the characters are Mormons, but we focus more on their day to day lives, which are a reflection of their faith.
JD: What is your favorite aspect of the film? As director, is there anything you'd do differently now that all is said and done?
MF: I thought that Greg Kiefer did a wonderful job as the Director of Photography. I very much like the look of the film. I was very pleased with the cast. Really like the performances. Would I do anything differently? Absolutely. There are several scenes that, for one reason or another, I would love to reshoot. I would love to have a Director's Cut of the film. Overall, I'm pleased, but there are moments that, for a variety of reasons, don't work as well as they could.
JD: What can you say about working with that cast? One thing that stood out to me about the film was the chemistry between the characters. Every dynamic felt natural: father-daughter, husband-deceased wife, and the dating couples. How did you all achieve that chemistry?
MF: A lot of that comes with careful casting. We read so many actors for the various roles. I agree that the chemistry was there between the lead actors. One thing that helped quite a bit was that we rehearsed prior to rolling camera. Rehearsal is often overlooked in a film project. I am very particular about rehearsal. Can never get enough of it. With each rehearsal I find more angles to a scene. To a relationship. Creating layers in the relationships and finding the depth of the characters is rewarding and comes through in the performances.
JD: One role that our readers will likely recognize you from is that of the mission president in The Best Two Years. There's a great scene where you walk in on the Elders at the worst possible moment. All the stress and pettiness they've maturely dealt with the whole film comes to a head and they revert to deacon-level behavior. I think every returned missionary watches that scene and cringes while they laugh. You reminded me of my own president: stern and intimidating, but if you looked underneath, it's motivated by love for the Lord and for the missionaries.
What are your reflections on the film, and that scene, as an actor and a producer?
(See Michael Flynn as the mission president here)
M: I will [refer you to] a piece I wrote when the film came out that gives the history of how B2Y came to pass (click here). The role of the mission president was originally slated for my long-time acting friend Gordon Jump. He would have been perfect for the role. His doctor did not give permission, however, for him to go to Holland. I had no idea that he was not well. We shot B2Y in April/May of 2003 and Gordon passed away in September of that year. I always felt bad that he didn't play the role of the mission president. It would have been a lovely role for a wonderful actor. And probably the last film of his accomplished career. It would be great for LDS audiences to remember Gordon in B2Y. That being said, I enjoyed the role very much. The scene you mention was fun. Working with the four missionaries, KC, Kirby, Cameron and David, was a blast. Such a talented group. And I didn't want the MP to come across as some of the other MP's I've seen in LDS films. I hope people sense, as you did, that he took his position as MP seriously, yet he loved the elders.
JD: Let's talk about your work as Pontius Pilate in To This End Was I Born (also known as The Lamb of God). It's a wonderful performance in what is, in my opinion, the finest film the Church has ever produced. You added so many layers to that: your Pilate, in the opening minutes, is clearly a man who hates his job. But that surliness, in part, melts away when you meet the Savior. There's conflict in your eyes, and a real humanity comes out. Tell us how you prepared for that role.
(See his Pontius Pilate role)
MF: I read about Pilate. There's not much there. The Bible account is interesting. It started when the director, Russ Holt, called me into the Church Office Building and talked to me about the role. I, of course, accepted. As an actor you never know what a film will turn out to be. As we were shooting it, I thought that it might be a nice film. Lots of production value. Mark Deakins, who played Jesus, was a good friend and a wonderful actor. I really enjoyed working with Mark. The first time I saw the film was an interesting experience. It was a couple years after I had shot the film. I had pretty much forgotten about it. I wondered occasionally what the Church would do with the film. I was sitting in sacrament meeting on Easter Sunday. The bishop announced that we were going to do something a little different for that meeting. He then started a film. The Lamb of God. I think it was titled Unto This End Was I Born at the time. I was quite surprised. We then took the sacrament after the film. The film has been reedited since its original iteration; I think the current version, which is much shorter, is significantly more effective. A production note. There is a scene in the Bible that I thought would have made a nice scene in the film. Here are the verses from John that describe the scene:
"And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was: Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate: Write not The King of the Jews, but that he said I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written." (John 19:19-22)
I think that would have been a great scene. But who listens to actors? Overall, playing the role of Pilate was an amazing experience. Hardly a day goes by, all these years later, that someone doesn't talk to me about that film and my role in it. I'm very grateful to have done it.
JD: The sets for that film are very impressive. Did they film that entirely in Utah? Because there's never one second that it doesn't look like the Holy Land.
MF: All of my scenes were shot on the back lot at the BYU Motion Picture Studio in Provo. They did a great job with the art direction in the film. I haven't seen the film in many years, but they may have used some stock footage of the Holy Land. Not sure about that.
JD: As an actor, are there any moments of verisimilitude where you almost believe that you are actually at the place and time portrayed and not playing a role? I ask because I recently went to the Bloch exhibit at BYU's Museum of Art and stood before the painting called The Doubting Thomas. The resurrected Savior in that is nearly life-size, and I was able to block out the rest of the museum and its patrons to the point that I almost felt that I was standing before Him. It was a transcendent moment for me. So naturally, I think of you: you're dressed as Pilate, you're standing in this large Praetorium set, and you're facing Mark Deakins who is made up to look very much like Jesus Christ. Did you have a moment where it felt almost real?
MF: Many. The crowd shouting "Crucify Him". The washing of the hands. Shouting to the crowd "I find no fault in this man." It was interesting to me to be saying lines that were taken directly from the Bible. I have often felt like I was "in the moment." Not just in The Lamb of God but in other films and plays as well.
JD: Is there any advice you'd give to members of the Church looking to have a career in film?
MF: A lot. That is perhaps a topic for another time. It is a rough environment. Tough to make a living. Can be difficult on family life. A lot can be said. Overall, I don't encourage people to pursue it [as a full-time career]. It is just too difficult. I've been very blessed in many ways. But it has been a long and, at times, difficult road.
JD: Are there any of your works that you feel never got the audience they deserved that you'd like to call attention to here? Do you have anything on the horizon that we should be on the watch for?
MF: There are a few things I'd like to do over! The Dance is a film that never really turned out the way it could have. I'd like another shot at that. Lots of projects on the horizon. Shelley and I are working with Bill Bennett on a film based on a novel that Bill wrote. The Christmas Gift. Love the story. Always enjoy working with my good friend Shelley. We are in the process of writing the script, raising money, etc.
JD- What are some of your favorite films or what films have influenced you the most as a person and/or an artist?
MF: Lots of favorite films. I tend to like films that are character driven.
Where the main character is changed throughout the experience of the film. I have little or no patience for action films. Every once in a while one comes along that entertains me. But not very often.
JD: Last but not least, aside from the Lord, what person from the scriptures has most impacted your life and why?
M: There are many examples of men in the scriptures that inspire me. Nephi. Peter. Moroni. Abinadi. Moses. The list goes on. I love examples of people who have overcome challenges. Alma the Younger. Sons of Mosiah. So many stories just begging to be told. Budgets and the taste of the movie going clientele get in the way. Someday. Perhaps. We'll see. The best is yet to come.
Once again, our thanks at Meridian to Michael for his time. We look forward to The Christmas gift and whatever else awaits him on the horizon.

Out of a study led by Gambling Portal, 64% of all gamers want to play roulette and not poker, blackjack or even spaces. Why?
One of the really commendable diversions to play at a club is roulette. It isn't only the turning of the wheel that gives it its class, yet the way that roulette is a diversion for genuine champions. Novices steer far from roulette abandoning it just to the genuine gaming devotees.
Gamers express that no other amusement they have played can coordinate the excite they feel after they have put down their individual wagers and the wheel begins to turn and ball flies and bounces starting with one space then onto the next. They say that your heart bounces each time the ball slams into the wheel..
In contrast with different amusements, roulette is easy to learn and easy to play. You should simply think about where the ball will reach rest when the wheel quits turning. Notwithstanding putting down your wager is straightforward. You can either wager on a number, a line, two or three lines, a section, a line of segments, a shading: dark or red or even on odd or even numbers. To do this you don't have to retain distinctive hand frameworks like in poker, or ascertain whether they will achieve twenty-one like in blackjack. You pick a number or an area of numbers and if ball lays on the numbers you picked, you win.
Not at all like other table recreations where you once in a while need to sit tight for quite a long time till a seat opens up for you, roulette table seat up to seven or nine players. There are even some bigger tables that seat up to ten. What's more, since roulette is a quick activity diversion, players pivot more frequently than say at a Texas Holdem coordinate.
Dissimilar to other diversion tables, at roulette the croupier is a dynamic segment of the amusement. When they state out so anyone might hear, No More Bets, everybody kicks back and pauses. The croupier twists the haggle sits tight alongside every other person for the ball to move down into within track and lay on a specific shading and number. At that point, the croupier reports the number and distributes the rewards.
To make it less demanding for you to track your chips in the midst of the various chips, your chips are of an unexpected shading in comparison to all whatever is left of the players. There is no other amusement that permits you this alternative. This implies you can track your chips super effortlessly regardless of whether they are at the opposite end of the table.
Individuals attempt and cheat at all diversions. Be that as it may, in roulette, nobody is permitted to keep his hands over the table until the point when the croupier completes the process of distributing all the cash won. Indeed, even the croupier himself wards off his hands and uses a long stick to appropriate the chips.
Out of all the diverse amusements, those you can wager on at a standard or at home and those you can play for entertainment only on your home PC, gamers search out and play roulette for all the of the above reasons. They think the amusement has everything in each of the one bundle. They should realize what they are discussing..
