Ricardo Román, founder of First Attack.
First Attack 2019, considered the most important e-sports competition in Latin America, will take place at the Puerto Rico Convention Center Oct. 26-27, expecting to attract gamers and fans from all over the world and pump some $1.7 million into the island's economy, organizers said.
First Attack includes the final regional final of the Capcom Pro Tour, an e-sports tournament that attracts more than 200 gamers from over 12 countries who compete for more than $300,000 in prizes. The winner of Street Fighter competition will advance to the Capcom Cup final at the Novo Theater in California for a chance to win up to $300,000.
This year, First Attack 2019 will receive more than 3,500 fans, spectators and gamers from Japan, China, Korea, the U.S., Canada, Dominican Republic and Mexico, as well as pro casters and more than 1 million Livestream video views.
"The e-sports sector has grown significantly throughout the world, and Puerto Rico is no exception," said Ricardo Román, founder of First Attack. "Since 2012, we have been working to create a local gamers community, and this year marks a historic milestone as First Attack positions itself as an important international event."
"The Puerto Rico Tourism Company is pleased to support First Attack, a globally recognized international electronic games competition, a sector of the e-gaming industry that continues to evolve at a steady pace. Holding this tournament in Puerto Rico allows us to showcase our destination as a progressive one and an ideal location to hold world-class events such as this one," said Carla Campos, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
E-sports is a multimillion-dollar industry. More than 2.5 billion video gamers in the world feed a global e-sports market that is expected to generate $152 billion in revenue in 2019, up 9.6 percent from 2018, according to a report by games and esports analytics and market research firm Newzoo.
"We're betting on the video game industry as an important component of the creative economy and as an instrument our youth can use to acquire skills that will prove indispensable for the jobs of the future, those driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution," said Carlos Cobián, founder of Cobian Media and producer of First Attack 2019.

Aside from the fact that it will cost billions of dollars -- money we could put toward education, useful infrastructure, and health care -- here is a prime reason Trump's wall is a terrible idea.
And that's ignoring the fact that Trump is only throwing this tantrum to distract from the fact that he's in huge political trouble.
Thank you, N&M! You're the best!


If you have not attended the surgery in the last three years and have no specific illnesses, we are happy to see you for a well person check. Your blood pressure and BMI (body mass index) will be measured and you have the opportunity to discuss any other health issues. Please make an appointment to see Lorraine, our Health Care Assistant.
We provide a full range of family planning services including diaphragm, intrauterine devices (IUCDs) and Implanon fittings. Dr Baikie has a dedicated clinic on Thursday evenings for both men and women, but appointments can also be made at other times and with other doctors.
A midwife visits the surgery on Tuesday mornings for an ante-natal clinic. Doctors are available to be seen at other times. All appointments for the midwifes must be pre-booked.
Midwifes visit mothers and babies at home shortly after birth. These appointments are arranged directly with the midwife. We like to see mother and baby at the surgery when the baby is six weeks old to meet the new arrival and make sure all is going well. Health visitors will also make contact during this time. We are always happy to see parents of young babies at the surgery at any time if they have concerns.
Doctors provide a child development check for babies at six to eight weeks and health visitors for pre-school children. Please do come and see us if you are worried about your child's development at any age.
We encourage all children to have the full range of baby and pre-school vaccinations to protect them from potentially serious illnesses. Please make an appointment with our practice nurse Carole. We are happy to discuss the vaccination programme with you if you have any questions.
Health visitors run a clinic on Thursday afternoons, between 13:30 and 15:00, and Friday mornings, between 09:30 and 11:00 , to weigh and measure babies and young children and discuss any concerns. These are drop in clinics and no appointment is necessary.

They offer them the time, empathy and respect they need to express their feelings and perhaps understand themselves from a different perspective. The aim is reduce their confusion and enable them to cope with challenges or to make positive changes in their life where necessary.

For all the groups with six teams, the winner and runners-up of each group will qualify for the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship (Finals). For the one group with three teams, only the group winner will qualify. And the one best third-placed team from all the groups with six teams will qualify for the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship (Finals).

Seedings

The draw for the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship (Qualifiers) took place at AFC House on 20 February 2009.

A total number of 45 teams are eligible for the qualifying competition. The West Zone comprised 24 teams and they drew according to their ranking to make four groups of six teams each.

The East Zone had 21 teams and they drew into three groups of six teams and one group of three teams.

West Asia

East Asia
(Ranked 1st to 19th)

Third-placed qualifiers
At the end of the first stage, a comparison was made between the third placed teams from the seven groups of six teams. The one best third-placed teams advanced to the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship.

Because three group has one team fewer than the others, following the withdrawal of Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Maldives, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group are not included in this ranking. As a result, four matches played by each team will count for the purposes of the third-placed table.

When I change my iPhone, do I need to repurchase Steth IO?
If you are a Steth IO customer and you get a new iPhone, let us know and we will provide you a discount code worth 50% off our regular price to get a Steth IO device suitable for your new phone.
Is the Steth IO Stethoscope and Application HIPAA compliant?
Yes. In the default flow in our application, no identifiable data on the patient is collected. If an exam is saved and personal data about the patient is entered then various HIPAA warnings are shown to the user.
Can I get bulk discounts on Steth IO?
Do I have to pay a monthly fee for the app?
No, there is no recurring cost to the app. You can download the app for free from the Apple App Store.
I have an idea for a Research project – would Steth IO be interested?
Steth IO may be interested in partnering with you for research. Please contact us with research ideas.
Will you ship outside the USA?
Steth IO is currently only available for sale in the USA. We plan to offer the device in other markets in early 2019.
What is the best way to hold Steth IO?
Hold the phone horizontally on the diaphragm end for best stability and best visualization.
What is the best place to listen to the heart sounds with Steth IO?
The 4 usual auscultation points (pulmonary, aortic and mitral region, etc.) is a good place to start; however, our users find that the pulmonary region is a good auscultation point for all the different heart sounds.
How much pressure should I apply to get a good sound?
As much pressure as you would apply in a regular stethoscope.
Should I use Steth IO over bare skin or can I use it over clothing?
Scanning over bare skin will produce the best heart sounds, however, our users find that Steth IO captures sound well over single or even two layers of clothing.
How do I clean/disinfect my Steth IO device?
Standard antiseptic wipes work well for cleaning the Steth IO device. Follow the same protocol that you would follow to clean your standard stethoscope.
Should I keep the Steth IO device on the phone all the time? Will it interfere with phone function? Can I continue to use my phone for personal business and also use the same device on patients?
Yes, you can keep it on all the time as many of our users do. Steth IO does not interfere with phone functionality. Some physicians decide to dedicate a separate iPhone with Steth IO for clinical use only while keeping their own phones for personal use.
If I carry it around, will the diaphragm be damaged?
No. The diaphragm is made of sturdy material that does not easily damage.
What do I do if the diaphragm gets damaged? Do I need to replace the diaphragm?
If the diaphragm does get damaged, please reach out to support@stethio.com for a free replacement.
Can I use it for bowel sounds?
Yes. You can use Steth IO for bowel sounds.
Can I use it for carotid sounds?
Yes. You can use Steth IO for carotid sounds.
Can I use it for teaching?
Yes. You can use it for teaching auscultation.
What heart issues do you see with Steth IO?
Common heart issues that you can diagnose with Steth IO are — different types of murmurs — early systolic, diastolic, holosystolic; third heart sound — S3 gallop; and fourth heart sound — S4.
What lung issues do you see with Steth IO?
Common lung issues that you can diagnose with Steth IO are crackles and wheezing.
A normal stethoscope has a diaphragm side and a bell side to listen to lung vs heart sounds. Steth IO only has a diaphragm, how can you hear both heart and lung?
Our mobile application has digital filters built-in which are customized for heart sounds vs lung sounds so it does not need two sides.
Why should I use this device? Is this device better or as good as my favorite stethoscope?
– Save & share heart and lung sounds to get a second opinion.
Do I need to use a headset to listen to the heart or lung sound?
In the beginning, we recommend that you use wired or wireless headphone while listening to the heart or lung sounds with this device. Over time, our users get used to the visualization and do not feel the need to use headphones.
What is the best headset to use with this device?
Steth IO ships with Sony Wireless Headphones included (Sony WI-C300). In general, headphones that block the ear canal work best. Our users find that Apple's standard headphones – wired or wireless AirPods, also work reasonably with Steth IO. There are more details on our headphones page.
Can I use my Bluetooth-wireless headset with this product?
Yes. The Steth IO device works well with most high-end Bluetooth headsets. However, Steth IO ships with Sony Wireless Headphones included (Sony WI-C300).
I wear Bluetooth compatible hearing-aids – does this product work with that?
In general, we find that it does. Some hearing aids might have a ringing sound; however, so we recommend trying it with your hearing aids. Use our 30-day free return policy. There are more details on our headphones page.
Does Steth IO drain the phone battery?
Steth IO is a passive device and has no battery so it does not consume any battery. The use of the mobile app will drain the battery as much as using any app on your phone.
Does the Steth IO device have a battery?
No, the Steth IO device has no battery; it is a passive device.
Does Steth IO hardware communicate with the mobile phone using Bluetooth?
No, the Steth IO hardware feeds the audio through the microphone of the smartphone. It does not use any Bluetooth.
Where do I get the Steth IO application?
The application should be downloaded from the App Store. It is a free download.
How do I interpret the visualization? What do the various colors mean?
The teal line in the middle of the screen is the time series of the heart or lung sound. The colored segments at the bottom represent the frequency spectrum of the sounds – the higher the display, the higher the frequency (typical of murmurs), and the color indicates the amplitude of the signal.
More details can be found on the Visualizing Auscultations page.
How do I tell when it is systolic vs. diastolic?
Check out the Normal Heart Sounds section on the Visualizing Auscultations page to understand the systolic vs diastolic phase.
Do you have some examples of what different abnormal conditions look and sound like with Steth IO?
Yes, you can see several examples on our Visualizing Auscultations page.
Does the visualization show an EKG?
No. The visualization shows a phonocardiogram — the display of heart sounds. EKG is the display of the electrical activity in the heart and is different from the phonocardiogram.
Do I have to save every exam that I perform?
No, you don't have to save every exam. You can simply discard an exam by pressing the X on the exam screen. More details on Saving Exams can be found here.
Can I share reports from this device?
Yes, you can share reports via email. A pdf of the phonocardiogram and a sound file in a .wav format is included in this email.

Yes, you can print the pdf file that is exported via the email.


Shuaibu Swade, the Controller Kano Zonal Office of NCC stated that the the Zonal Office found that most of the schools evidently abandoned the facilities after the expiration of the free bandwidth offered by NCC. "This is the reason we are organising this multi-stakeholder meeting of 15 principals of the secondary schools that benefited from the project. We also invited representatives of Kano State SERVICOM, Kano State Secondary School Management Board, community groups, Parent-Teachers Associations, as well as Old Boys or Girls Unions of the schools involved. This is to enable us to reflect together on how to reactivate the projects and ensure sustainable utilization of the laboratories to produce measurable outcomes.

Dogecoin Accounts for 40% of Robinhood's Crypto Transaction Revenue in Q3 – Altcoins Bitcoin News
Trading platform Robinhood has reported that 40% of its cryptocurrency transaction-based revenue was attributable to transactions in the meme cryptocurrency dogecoin in the third quarter. By comparison, dogecoin accounted for 62% of the company's transaction-based revenue in the second quarter.
Dogecoin Trading on Robinhood
Robinhood Markets Inc. stated in its quarterly filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Friday:
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, 40% of our cryptocurrency transaction-based revenue was attributable to transactions in dogecoin.
This was a significant decrease from 62% for the three months ended June 30, and 34% for the three months ended March 31.
Robinhood's third-quarter transaction-based revenue totaled $267 million, with only $51 million coming from cryptocurrency trading. Revenue from crypto trading totaled $233 million in the second quarter.
The company's Q3 filing further notes: "For the quarters ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, transaction-based revenue attributable to transactions in dogecoin comprised approximately 8%, 32%, and 7% of our total net revenues, respectively."
Robinhood explained, "We support trading in dogecoin and we benefited from a surge in interest for dogecoin during the quarter ended June 30, 2021," adding:
While we currently support seven cryptocurrencies for trading, market interest in particular cryptocurrencies can be volatile and there are many cryptocurrencies in the market that we do not support.
DOGE was down about 9% in the past 24 hours, but up 7% in the last seven days and 32% in the last 30 days.
Currently, supporters of DOGE rival shiba inu are petitioning on Change.org for Robinhood to list SHIB. At the time of writing, more than 432K signatures have been collected. "Dogecoin has been a huge success for Robinhood, and its investors. We have all enjoyed the ride. Shiba Inu is a similar meme coin with genuine potential, up 2,000% in the last weeks," the petition states.
What do you think about dogecoin accounting for 40% of Robinhood's transaction-based revenue? Let us know in the comments section below.

Urban Routines was the theme of Strelka's 2013/14 academic year. Student research and public lectures have aspired to build an understanding of Moscow through the daily movements and rituals of Muscovites. What does this everyday life look like? How is it changing? And do our routines shape the city as much as the city shapes our routines? Together with Lukas Feireiss we compiled the student's research in a reader.

Q: AngularJs - Server throwing exception''XMLHttpRequest cannot load the "URL" Response for preflight is invalid (redirect)' What is the reason the server is returning object as 'undefined' and 'XMLHttpRequest cannot load the "URL" Response for preflight is invalid (redirect).
Flow of app - its just a normal post service sending document details to the server in return should return an object holding various parameters, but its returning 'undefined'
The service for posting the document
fileUpload: {
    method: 'POST',
    url: config.apiPath + 'employee/service/pushRecords', //this is the URL that should return an object with different set of parameters (currently its returning Error error [undefined])
    isArray: false,
    params: {},
    headers: {
        'content-type': undefined
    }
},

above service i have used after creating formdata w.r.t document
function registerFormdata(files, fieldName) {
    files = files || [];
    fieldName = fieldName || 'FileSent';
    var returnData = new FormData();

    _.each(files, function (file, ind) {
        returnData.append(fieldName,file);
    });

    return returnData;
}

now this is the controller where these services are used
function sendFilesToServer() {
        var formData = employeePushService.registerFormdata(directive.dropZoneFile.fileToUpload);
        return docUploadService.fileUpload(formData)
            .then(function(document) {
         // Extra actions but here the server should be returning an object with set of parameters but in browser console its Error [undefined]
            }).catch(logger.error);
    }

A: Assuming that the URL target in yout post is correct, it seems that you have a CORS problem, let me explain some things.
I don't know if the server side API it's developed by yourself, if it is, you need to add the CORS access, your server must return this header:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://foo.example

You can replace http://foo.example by *, it means that all request origin will have access.
First, you need to know that when in the client you make an AJAX CORS request, your browser first do a request to the server to check if the server allow the request, this request is a OPTION method, you can see this if, for example in chrome, you enable the dev tools, there, in the network tab you can see that request.
So, in that OPTIONS request, the server must set in the response headers, the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
So, you must check this steps, your problem is that the server side is not  allowing your request.
By the way, not all the content-type are supported in CORS request, here you have more information that sure will be helpfull.
Another link to be helpfull for the problem when a 302 happens due to a redirect. In that case, the POST response must also include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

The evolution of Athlone as a major growth centre, not just within the Midland region, but on a national scale, received further enhancement this week, with news that three key projects have been chosen for funding under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund.
As a key part of Project Ireland 2040, the Government's National Planning Framework and National Development Plan, Athlone Tourism Cultural Quarter, Athlone Town Centre Regeneration and Enhancement and Loughanaskin will feel the regeneration and redevelopment benefit of an estimated €12 million in relevant allocated funding.
Most welcome will be the rejuvenation of the Athlone Tourism Cultural Quarter on the town's west side, a cause which has long been pioneered by Senator Gabrielle McFadden.
"Athlone is receiving this funding because it was designated as a special regional driver as part of Project 2040, following a very intensive, personal campaign. Once I received the designation, I immediately started my campaign for the West Side regeneration.
"This is a significant step in making Athlone an even more attractive destination for people in which to live, work, visit and socialise. While much positive development has taken place in Athlone over recent years, there are still areas where there is dereliction and under-occupied buildings," Senator McFadden commented.
A strong local presence at Government level was noted by Minister for State, Kevin 'Boxer' Moran, as he enthused with regard to the future regeneration of key sited within his home town.
"I am absolutely delighted with the news. This is a project which I have been working very hard on and I am particularly pleased that all three projects earmarked for Athlone have been selected, with the total funding costs of €12.5m. Today's announcement allows for the council to draw up their plans, purchase properties and put in the necessary infrastructure.
"Overall, this is a great day for the town of Athlone and helps to cements the future enhancement of the urban landscape that will assist in the future growth of the town," Minister Moran remarked.
The Urban Regeneration and Development fund is the largest urban regeneration initiative in Ireland for numerous decades and was established to support more compact and sustainable development, through the regeneration of and rejuvenation of Ireland's large towns and cities, in line with the objectives of Project Ireland 2040.
The fund has an overall allocation of €2billion to 2027 and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government has responsibility for implementation of the approved projects.

Painting Missing from Versailles Palace
Benjamin Sutton, March 4, 2014

A 19th-century portrait painting by François Gérard (1770–1837) has gone missing from a storage space at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, where it was last seen four years ago, the AFP reports. The artwork, "Portrait of Count Regnault de Saint-Jean d'Angély," was flagged as missing on February 14, though Versailles officials are hesitant to scream "theft," and suspect that the piece was more likely misplaced. It was being held in a facility that was only accessible to some 30 people working at the palace.
"Artworks are often being moved," a spokesperson for Versailles told the AFP. "They can be relocated, marked for restoration, or sent to be re-framed." According to the spokesperson the work's value is difficult to estimate, though an outside source placed its value in the region of 100,000 euros (US$137,630). The palace of Versailles houses some 60,000 works of art.
Gérard, who went by "Baron Gérard," was one of the imperial family's favored court artists during France's first empire, and painted one of the most iconic portraits of Napoleon I, which is also housed at Versailles.

Q: How to verify that the star ratings are highlighted on mouse hover through Selenium i am working on a scenario where I move mouse cursor to 5-star rating, and I have to verify that previous stars are highlighted.
The HTML code is:

        1
        2
        3
        4
        5
        Your Rating:

When I hover over 3rd star, previous 2 stars and current 3rd star are highlighted and last 2 stars are not highlighted, and the change in HTML is this:

        1
        2
        3
        4
        5
        Your Rating:

Notice the class addition.
Is there any way I can verify this html change (to check that only first 3 stars are highlighted and last 2 stars are not highlighted)?
Currently my script is able to move to any of the star and click it. But I am not comprehending how to verify the star highlight feature.

A: You can do it this way:
// wait 2 seconds until `hover` classes will load
Thread.sleep(2000)

// find all elements with hover class
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[@class='hover']"));

Then simple logic will be like this: if List size is 3, then everything is ok. If you want to make sure, that exactly 1-3 stars are highlighted, you can loop through the list and get text of elements.
int starsExpected = 3;
if (elements.size() != starsExpected){
    throw new Exception("There is an error with stars highlight occurred");
}

for (WebElement e : elements){
   String text = e.getText(); // get current element text, like `1`, `2`... `5`
   if(Integer.parseInt(text) > starsExpected){
      throw new Exception("There is an error with stars highlight occurred");
   }
}

A: I would write method that counts stars for control:
public int countStars(){
    return driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[@class='hover']"));
}

so You could do following:
highlight your stars, and assert it with above written method:
int expectedCnt = 3;
Assert.assertEquals(countStars(), expectedCnt, "Count should be equal!")

Hope this helps,

A: As per the HTML of before and after Mouse Hover event, the difference is the presence of class="hover" within the child  tags. So to verify that the previous stars are highlighted you can create a List inducing WebDriverWait for the desired elements and validate if the List is non-empty and you can use the following solution:
//Perform Mouse Hover
if ((new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath("//div[@class='wh-rating-choices-holder']//a[@class='hover']")))).size() != 0)
    System.out.println("Previous Stars are highlighted");
else
    System.out.println("Previous Stars are not highlighted");

Although much has been accomplished in Samoa in disaster risk management during the past 20 years, communities in Samoa are still facing increasing and additional challenges in terms of addressing climate-related disaster risk. There is now a need to strengthen the capacity of Samoan communities to build further resilience to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events, especially in rural communities.
This UNDP-supported project, GEF-LDCF financed project, Integration of Climate Change Risks and Resilience into Forestry Management in Samoa (ICCRIFS), is working to increase the resilience and adaptive capacity of Samoa's forest areas, and the communities that depend on them for livelihoods. The project aims at fostering a shift from current unsustainable forestry and agro-forestry practices towards a more sustainable and climate resilient system with forestry techniques adjusted to current and anticipated changes in climatic conditions. To this end, the project aims at implementing alternative forestry management approaches and techniques, in demonstration sites, supported through creating an enabling environment to build institutional and technical capacities.
For more information visit the ICCRIFS Project website.
The project is working to bridge top-down and bottom-up approaches through linking the implementation of policy changes with on-the-ground adaptation measures in affected rural areas, adjacent to protected forest areas, with the active involvement of local communities. It will build adaptive capacity in public administrations and rural communities, in order to enhance the resilience of forest ecosystems and rural livelihoods, that depend on forest ecosystem services.
The project is supporting the integration of climate risk and resilience into relevant agroforestry and forestry policies and practices, including environmental and meteorological data to better respond to current and anticipated climate change impacts in Samoan rural communities depending on forestry resources for their livelihoods. The policy and management guidelines and recommendations to be developed will provide a knowledge basis for the application of enhanced forestry techniques under a range of anticipated climate change scenarios. The project will facilitate the testing and implementaiton of these guidelines in selected demonstraion areas and pilot communites, combining scientific techniques (such as climate change projections, GIS mapping and remote sensing) with grassroots participation and community-based appraisal of climatic hazards. Based on these capabilities, the target communities will develop communal risk reduction plans as part of their overall forest management plans. Small-scale adaptation measures will, therefore, be prioritized to effectively reduce the risk of rapid- and slow-onset climate-induced impacts.
The project seeks to enhance institutional capacities of relevant line Ministries and their specialized departments, including their district and local level representatives and field staff. Institutional capacities will be strenghtened to integrate climate resilience into sectoral policies and operational plans, as well as to deliver technical tasks related to forestry management and monitoring. The policy changes will aim at supporting an enabling environment for the implementation of on-the-ground demonstration measures, therefore strenghtening institutional structures to address climate risk in the longer term.
Output 3.1 Lessons learned and best practices are generated and shared between local communities, and national stakeholders through appropriate mechanisms.

Marvel's European Vacation – Film Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home ★★★
One of the advantages of hating all things superhero is that I don't have to take part in those "bro-ey" discussions that usually begin with, "Dude, did you see what Thanos did to civilization? I can't wait for the next 40 installments!" I tend to go blank when I'm with a gaggle of gays who think movies begin and end with all things Marvel. Isn't there one other gay who seeks out the works of Pawel PawIikowski and Michael Haneke? Please! Slide into my DMs!
I totally understand that studios need their big tentpoles to prop up the rest of the industry, but I just can't with the dense lore, the Halloween costumes, the CGI third act destruction, the lack of nuance, and the fact that I can never remember anything I see from these films. Can't we just reserve fantasy and fighting for the bedroom where it belongs? I do, however, have a soft spot for Spider-Man. He's just a kid, standing on top of a spire, telling us he loves saving the world. I thoroughly enjoyed Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man, which did such a fantastic job of letting us feel Peter Parker's fear and excitement when he discovers his powers. I loved last year's animated Into The Spider-Verse, thinking that this style was the perfect fit for the genre. I thought Spider-Man: Homecoming from 2017 had fun with its John Hughes-style teen comedy disguised as a comic book movie. Tom Holland, Zendaya, and national treasure, Marisa Tomei, all brought a lively comic energy to their characters, and the film wasn't just a giant spectacle or quip machine.
So I can't say I approached the new one, Spider-Man: Far From Home with any sense of dread, but I also only went because a friend from breakfast asked me along. The film, directed by Jon Watts, and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, has a lot of laughs, a lot of fun, and yes, a painful third act in which things blow up real good. It does, however, have an up-to-the-minute ending which pings on the fake news era in which we currently reside, and any film series which ends for the second time with a main character shouting, "What the f*ck?!!" before smash cutting to black gets a few bonus points. It's their signature line and I'm here for it.
Since I don't regularly travel through Marvel's Universe, my friend kindly caught me up on some blip which occurred which wiped out half of civilization only to return them five years later. Couldn't they just have ditched the whole superhero thing and made this about Peter Parker's very confused, very mixed-age Senior Class? Give me Spider-Man: Back From The Future now, please! Anyhow, Peter and company take off for a whirlwind trip to Europe, with Peter trying to leave his costume behind so he can just relax in places like Paris and London and make googly eyes with MJ. I enjoyed all of the high school comedy elements, with Jacob Batalon returning as Peter's BFF, Ned, who finds instant love with Betty Brant (Angourie Rice, all grown up from The Nice Guys and Tracy Flick-ing the hell out of her uptight co-ed role). My big question was, where the hell is Josie Totah (formerly J.J. Totah from Other People and Champions) from Homecoming? Always a welcome presence, I missed her "get it gurrlll" sass in this one.
Of course, the good vs. evil has to rear its ugly head in Venice when this giant, swooshy thing destroys gondoliers and canals, only to be destroyed by a laser-y, scuba helmet-wearing superhero named Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Welcomed into the fold, he befriends Peter, who has been given EDITH, the late Tony Stark's powerful sunglasses, which have untold powers. Imagine if SIRI had anti-glare capabilities and you'll get the gist. Together they try to stop further destruction and mayhem, and…this is when I stopped caring. It doesn't help that Gyllenhaal and superhero movies aren't a good fit. He looks spectacularly uncomfortable in his garb and the script stiffens up this usually loose, limber actor.
Still, this film has its pleasures. Samuel L. Jackson, as usual, gets the best lines as the irascible Nick Fury. Martin Starr (Silicon Valley) and J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) do HBO proud as the adult chaperones on this adventure, and, you guys, Peter Billingsly (Ralphie from A Christmas Story) is a grown-assed man and is worth keeping an eye on here. Zendaya, in full Aubrey Plaza deadpan mode, won me over, especially when she unwillingly takes a shaky-cam ride through the city with Spider-Man. Stick around for the usual 6 endings buried in the final credits, because these moments feature a welcome cameo and what I'm gathering is a game-changing reveal. Hell, the proper ending to the film changes everything without all those hidden scenes.
Tom Holland, so earnest and fast-talking, keeps things grounded in a way that sits with me better than the non-stop meta-comedy of the Deadpool and Guardians of The Galaxy films. He's playing a real character here, and I especially loved his heroic actions in the sequence where he doesn't don the costume. He comes across like a mix between James Bond and Marty McFly. More costume-free antics, Marvel! In fact, in my head, I've erased the mind-numbing action scenes and reformatted this into Sixteen Candles: That Time Across The Pond.
GAY SCALE: For each review, I'll rate the film on my 50 SHADES OF GAY SCALE to let you know how far it tips in our favor. Spider-Man: Far From Home gets a 0 out of 50. Sure, Tom Holland shows off his six-pack and looks great in tights, but by erasing Josie Totah and by not having a single LGBTQ+ character, it stings a little. One character in particular, the third side of the Peter Parker/MJ love triangle, could have easily been written as gay, giving that resolution a little kick. I guess adults parading around in body-hugging costumes is now a straights only thing. Hasn't one Marvel staffer been to West Hollywood on October 31st before?!!!

Après avoir rappelé toutes les résolutions sur la situation au Tadjikistan et à la frontière tadjiko-afghane, le Conseil a prorogé le mandat de la Mission d'observation des Nations unies au Tadjikistan (MONUT) jusqu'au  et abordé les efforts visant à mettre fin au conflit dans le pays.

Lors des pourparlers à Moscou, le  Emomalii Rahmon et l' (UTO) ont signé des accords sur les questions militaires et la réintégration, ainsi que sur le désarmement et le démantèlement des unités de l'OTU. Le Conseil de sécurité a pris note des demandes formulées par les deux parties concernant la mise en œuvre des accords. Entre-temps, la situation humanitaire au Tadjikistan s'est détériorée et des attaques contre la MONUT, les forces de maintien de la paix de la Communauté des États indépendants (CEI) et d'autres personnels internationaux ont nécessité la décision du Secrétaire général Kofi Annan de suspendre les activités des Nations unies au Tadjikistan en dehors d'une présence limitée de la MONUT. Certains membres du personnel ont été temporairement évacués vers l'Ouzbékistan.

Le Conseil de sécurité s'est félicité des accords conclus par les deux parties, appelant celles-ci à les respecter pleinement, et a également noté que le cessez-le-feu avait généralement été respecté. Les mauvais traitements infligés à la MONUT et aux autres membres du personnel international ont été sévèrement condamnés et le Gouvernement tadjik a été prié de prendre des mesures de sécurité en réponse. Le mandat de la MONUT a été prorogé à la condition que l'Accord de Téhéran reste en vigueur et que des engagements envers d'autres accords soient pris.

Le Secrétaire général était tenu de tenir le Conseil informé de la situation et a été prié de lui rendre compte avant le  des moyens par lesquels l'ONU pourrait contribuer à la mise en œuvre des accords de paix et de lui faire un rapport avant le  sur les recommandations concernant la présence des Nations unies dans le pays.

Thomas Hornsby  (1733 in Durham – 11 April 1810 in Oxford) was a British astronomer and mathematician.

Life
Hornsby became a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford in 1760.

He occupied the Savilian Chair of Astronomy at Oxford University from 1763.  In the same year, he became Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy.

Hornsby was especially concerned with the observation of the transit of Venus.  In 1761, he observed the transit of Venus from Shirburn Castle, in Oxfordshire, the seat of the Earl of Macclesfield.  George Parker, 2nd Earl of Macclesfield (ca. 1695–1764), celebrated as an astronomer, had spent most of his time conducting astronomical observations at Shirburn Castle; here he had built an observatory and a chemical laboratory.

Despite the international efforts made to observe the 1761 transit, poor weather conditions hampered observations. In 1766 Hornsby informed the Royal Society that preparations needed to begin for the 1769 transit, his publication in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society focusing attention on the "cone of visibility" indicating some of the better places to observe the transit.

Hornsby himself viewed the 1769 transit at the Tower of the Five Orders, where the Bodleian Library is situated.

In the periodical Philosophical Transactions, Hornsby published a comparative analysis of 1761 transit (1763); a plan for suitable viewing stations for 1769, including possible locations in the Pacific (1765); a description of organising and reporting observing groups in Oxford (1769); and a comparative analysis of the 1769 transit (1771).

Hornsby was instrumental in the establishment of the Radcliffe Observatory at Oxford in 1772, and was made Radcliffe Observer in the same year.  In 1782, he was appointed Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy.  In 1783, he became Radcliffe Librarian. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1788.

Hornsby made tens of thousands of astronomical observations.  These were not published, however, until 1932, and were donated to Corpus Christi College, Oxford in 1935. They include a determination of the rate of change of the axial inclination of the Earth and the proper motion of Arcturus, both close to the modern values, whose combination of visual magnitude and large proper motion led Hornsby to argue (incorrectly) that "We may, I think, fairly conclude that Arcturus is the nearest Star to our System visible in this Hemisphere".

The crater Hornsby on the Moon is named after him.

N.B. His death announcement in the Kentish Gazette 24 April 1810 quotes his death as "Wednesday (11th Apr. 1810) at the Observatory Oxford, aged 76, the Rev. Thomas Hornsby D.D. & F.R.S. Savalian Professor of Astronomy, Professor of Natural Philosophy, & Librarian of the Radcliffe Library."
The O.D.N.B gives this information:
"Hornsby, Thomas (1733–1810), astronomer, the son of Thomas Hornsby (bap. 1704, d. 1771), an apothecary and later alderman, and his wife, Thomasine Forster, née Coulson (bap. 1705, d. 1775), was baptized in the parish of St Nicholas, Durham, on 27 August 1733. Hornsby died in Oxford on 11 April 1810, and was buried at St Giles' there on 19 April."

The wife said
"Where are you, you know we have lots to do"
He said "You remember the jewellers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time, and I said that one day I would get it for you?"
Little tears started to flow down her cheek, and she got all choked up…

I was walking down this country lane when I came across a well.
looking into the well I couldn't see the water in it.
So I dropped a stone into the well but didn't hear a splash.
then I found this very big timber sleeper, so I dragged it to the well and dropped it in,
I turned around just in time to see this goat charging at me, luckily I jumped out of its way, it just missed me and the goat disappeared down the well.
walking away this old farmer came over and asked me if I had seen his goat, I said no but would keep an eye out for it,
the farmer said it cant have got far as it was chained to a big timber sleeper.

Saint Peter's Catholic Church is live streaming it's annual Holy Darts Fundraiser. It's a popular affair with nuns playing against priests...yes nuns play darts too. For the past 5 years, the nuns have dominated the tournament. Let's listen into the tournament.
Mother Teresa takes a sip of her wine and a puff on her dunhill light as she approaches the dart board.
Father James provides the play by play.
"Triple 20...Triple 20...ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!"
The nuns clearly look poised to take another title.
Father Jones shrugs at the task before. He sprinkles holy water on his darts and approaches the immaculate dart board.
"Triple 20...Triple 20...Triple(the dart bounces off the wire & impales Mother Teresa)...ONE NUN DEAD AND EIGHTY!"

A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family.
My friend thinks he is smart. He told me an onion is the only food that makes you cry, so I threw a coconut at his face.
Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Six."
Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven!"
Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!"
Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

The teacher was discussing different jobs held by the parents of the students.
When she called on Little Johnnie, she asked, "And what does your father do?"
"Oh, he's a magician," replied Johnnie.
"Really? And what's his best trick?"
"His best trick is sawing people in half."
"Wonderful!" exclaimed the teacher. "Tell me Johnnie, are there any more children in your family?"
"Yes ma'am, I have a half brother and two half sisters."

A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed
in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his
mouth and nose.
A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "Are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies,
"I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body
and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me.
Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure
and heart rate from worrying about his testicles,
she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the
covers. She then raises his gown, holds his manhood in
one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says,
"There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her,
and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen
very, very, closely: Are - my - test - results - back?"

A magician and his parrot...
This magician was getting annoyed with his parrot, because during every trick the parrot would spoil it by saying something along the lines of "It's in your shirt, braack." He then decided to get rid of him, so he took him on a ship, and into the boiler room. The magician shot the parrot, but missed. The ship exploded and the only survivors were the magician and the parrot, surprisingly. The parrot then says, "Alright, braack, you got me, where is the ship, braack."

Two boys were playing football in the park when suddenly one of them is attacked by a rottweiler.
Thinking quickly, his friend rips a plank of wood from a fence,
forces it into the dog's collar and twists it, breaking the dog's neck.
All the while, a newspaper reporter from the Daily Record who was taking a stroll through the park is watching.
He rushes over, introduces himself and takes out his pad and pencil to start his story for the next edition.
He writes "Brave Rangers fan saves friend from vicious animal!"
The boy interrupts "But I'm not a Rangers fan."
The reporter starts again " Hero Hearts fan rescues friend from horrific attack!"
Again the boy interrupts "But I'm not a Hearts fan either."
"Who do you support then" inquires the reporter.
"Celtic" comes the reply.
So the reporter starts again
"Fenian b*stard murders family pet."
A Celtic fan is walking home from a match in his Celtic kit. He fancies a drink, walks into a bar and found himself surrounded by blue and white. He's walked into a Rangers' bar. A deadly silence falls over the pub. Then the barman clears his throat and says, "In here, we give Celtic fans a toll of the dice. "If you roll one to five, we kill you."
The Celtic fan replies,"What happens if I roll a six?"
"You get to roll again.

Do you believe in Leprechauns?
A construction worker is in his usual bar, having a beer after work. When he's done, he goes to the bathroom to relieve himself. A slightly short man walks in and uses the urinal next to him. The construction worker doesn't think anything of it until he catches sight of something out of the corner of his eye. He glances over and sees that the short man has got a huge p****. It freaks him out, and he feels embarrassed about thinking about it, so he says to the man:
"I'm sorry, I swear I'm not gay or anything, but I have to say, you are hung."
The short man then speaks up in a very Irish accent, "Alright, laddie, you caught me. You see, I'm a leprechaun, which is why my d*ck is so big. And now that you've caught me, you get three wishes."
The first man thinks that this guy is crazy, but he decides to go along with it anyway. "Alright then...I wish that I was the richest man in the world."
The Leprechaun says, "Done! Go check your bank account, you have billions of dollars in it. Now what is is your second wish?"
The man still doesn't really believe the guy, but he keeps going with it. "OK then, I wish that I was married to the hottest woman on Earth, who lived for nothing other than the need to satisfy my every sexual desire."
The Leprechaun says, "Done! Go home, she is waiting for you in your bed, ready to give you the greatest night of your life."
The man is dumbfounded. All the money he would ever need and a gorgeous woman that he could have incredible sex with? It's just too amazing!
The Leprechaun then asks, "What do you want for your third wish, lad?"
The man struggles, wondering what else he could possibly want, but finally says, "I want a d*ck as big as yours!"
The Leprechaun is surprised. "Oh no, laddie! The only way I could do that is if I were to bugger you."
The man backs up for a second and thinks. 'I couldn't do that....although, it's just to be gifted like that....' He continues debating, until he decides. "Alright, I'll do it."
So, the man and the Leprechaun go into the stall and the Leprechaun starts going at it, and the man is miserable, groaning in pain and hating every second of it. After awhile, the Leprechaun asks, " So how old are you, laddie?"
"I'm 35, why does it matter?"
"You're 35 and you still believe in Leprechauns?"

A man suspects his wife is cheating on him...
so he decides to come home early and catch her in the act. When he arrives at their apartment he finds another car that he doesn't recognize. Furious, he throws the door open to find his wife, sweating and in her underwear sitting at their dining room table.
In a rage, he starts to tear through the apartment, searching every nook and cranny for his wife's lover. After checking everywhere and unable to find anyone, he decides to collect his thoughts on the balcony.
Upon reaching the balcony, he is surprised to see two pairs of hands clutching the railing. He peers over to see a half-naked man, sweating and screaming for his life.
"Oh thank God! Help me!"
Losing his mind, he begins to pound on the man's hands screaming, "You jerk! You've been sleeping with my wife."
The second man tries to hang on valiantly but after a few blows to the hands, he slips and plummets to the ground below, where he breaks both legs but is still alive. Still furious, the man who thought his wife was cheating on him, grabs the closest thing to him, a refrigerator, and using all his strength, forces it over the railing where it plummets toward the second man's broken body. Unfortunately...as the refrigerator goes over the railing, the power cord wraps around the first man's leg and pulls him over the railing as well. When he lands against the refrigerator, he breaks his back and he dies instantly.
Later in heaven, the half-naked man (who was dangling from the railing) approaches St. Peter. St. Peter holds up and hand and says, "We're currently filled to capacity. If you want to get into heaven, you need to have a truly tragic story."
So the half-naked man begins, "There I was doing aerobics on my third-story balcony, when I lost my balance and fell over the railing. Luckily, I was able to grab onto the balcony below me. But then this mad man came out and started beating on my hands. I wasn't able to hold on and I fell to the ground below, breaking my legs. Then he pushed a refrigerator onto my face...and that's how I ended up here."
Disgusted, St. Peter motions him into heaven, just in time for another man to walk up to him (The man who thought his wife was cheating on him.)
When asked, he tells St. Peter, "Well, I thought my wife was cheating on me and sure enough she was. I found him dangling from my balcony, so I beat on his hands until he fell and then I pushed a refrigerator onto his head. Unfortunately, the cord wrapped around my leg, and drug me to my death as well."
St Peter said, wow that is truly tragic. Please go into heaven.
A third man walks up. Completely naked.
St. Peter says, "I've heard two truly tragic stories in a row. What story do you have to tell me."
The naked man sighs, "Well St. Peter...there I was hiding naked in this refrigerator..."

So Billy Wright is shown the training area in heaven, the gym, and eventually he is walked onto the pitch. Surrounded by 750,000 seats.
At one end of the pitch a man in a gold shirt (number 9) and with a crew cut is smashing footballs into a goal. Billy turns to St Peter and says
"Hang on, isn't that Steve Bull? Why is he up here?"
St Peter smiles serenely and says "No Billy, that's God, he just thinks he's Steve Bull"
