"Who's that Frenchy chick? She was hot!" And Other Nine-Related Musings
I went and saw Rob Marshall's Nine this afternoon. At first I thought I had walked into the wrong cinema since in the second row from the back of the quite small cinema they were screening the movie in sat a row of what looked to be 16-year-olds. Three girls and four boys. I don't know if they knew what movie they were going to see and I imagined similar scenes to when I saw Sweeney Todd and five minutes in a young guy screamed out "WHY ARE THEY SINGING?" before cursing Tim Burton during the closing credits.
Not to sound stalker-like, but I wanted to make sure to follow them once the credits roled because I was legitimately intrigued as to what their reactions would be. Throughout the movie I noticed on the guys was clearly infatuated with Penelope Cruz and her assets - wouldn't you be at 16? sexually confused or not - while one of the girls thoughts Daniel Day-Lewis was "gross!" when he removed his shirt and sat in a spa with a cardinal.
Leaving the cinema one of the other boys remarked "Who's that Frenchy chich? She was hot!" A bit of highbrow taste from our underage moviegoers? Heading out of the cinema though and I overheard this scintillating piece of teen-talk.
"That was weird."
"Yeah. Weird."
"I know, right. So weird."
"I didn't know Nicole Kidman was in it."
And then they started talking about some friend of theirs and how they don't want to go to her house party tonight and I promptly skedaddled for fear of looking creepy.
As for myself? I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I also can't say I wasn't warned and that I didn't walk in with lowered expectations. It met them. Marion Cotillard warrants devotion for this performance and she was almost good enough to make me forget (at least momentarily) how completely retched La Vie on Rose was, and she in it. Penelope Cruz is fine even if she is playing the exact same everything from Vicky Cristina Barcelona, while the rest of the female cast all fill their spot with no major pros or cons. Daniel Day-Lewis on the other hand, as Guido Contini, lands firmly in the con side of the debate. What a bizarre performance. He is an incredibly handsome man so I'm not sure why they made him ugly and greasy. That singing voice wasn't exactly sparkling like a diamond either, was it?
The songs are about 50/50. I had no prior knowledge of the stage show's score. I am aware that they took a few key numbers out, such as the title track, but I found it odd that the best song was one of the new tracks, "Take It All", performed by Marion Cotillard. In fact, Cotillard gets the two best numbers from the film along with "My Husband Makes Movies". The biggest problem with the musical numbers is the way they are edited. Kidman's "Unusual Way" and Cotillard's "Take it All", especially, which cut back and forth from the fantasy stage within Day-Lewis' mind and the real world. It breaks the flow of the songs and is particularly frustrating when the songs could have so easily been situated within this real world as characters breaking into song instead of them appearing in Contini's mind. If Rob Marshall makes another musical in the future, and I hope he does since Chicago is so excellent, then I hope he ditches this idea that musical sequences must be performed on the stage within the mind.
On a technical level the film is ace. Cinematography, Art Direction, Costumes and so on all all fabulous, but the film's lack of an arc makes it all feel incredibly flat. The Guido Contini of the opening five minutes is the same Guido Contini all the way through until the epilogue. An epilogue that felt like it should have been a big musical number ala Bob Fosse's own take on 8 1/2, All That Jazz. Alas, it just ends. And so it goes. B-

What cinema were you at? Because I swear I saw you and those same people. Ahh, yay that's exciting.
I totally agree with you on the film. I loved Cinema Italiano and quite enjoyed Hudson. But why the hell was Fergie in the film. She didnt have one line. And I found incredibly annoying how they talked during the songs. Especially in Unusual Way. It was like
"In a very unusual way..."
:| But I enjoyed watching it. Cotillard was fantastic. B+ from me.

Maury Yeston's score has surprisingly turned into a great divider with the musical, countless reviewers have singled out their dissatisfaction with the score. But he's certainly not for all. I still have to see this, but Nine I could understand Marshall's plight because the musical is definitely one that works better on stage. Still, glad to see good words for Marion.
Okay, sure the film itself isn't that good. But really, I wasn't expecting much. All I wanted to do was have fun and that's what I did, have fun. I think people are taking this film way too seriously. Especially film snobs that love Fellini's pretentious 8 1/2. Calm down it's not supposed to be an exact remake.

Owen, was that directed at me? I didn't take it too seriously - and I have been on endlessly defending the film as not being a "remake" of 8 1/2 as some people have been claiming - but there are big issues with the movie right out there in the open. And, unfortunately, it wasn't as "fun" as Marshall's own Chicago.
TomS said...
I really loved the film, because it WAS true to the spirit of Fellini, and to Fosse. The structure worked for me. It was fun, it was fascinating.....I am just a lone voice in the wilderness, I guess!
I almost had a heart attack because the situation in which you saw this movie is the exact same in which I saw this movie. Except I was in the group of seven people.
Though we saw it that night, not that afternoon. Literally, the "weird" conversation occurred between two of my friends, and one of them mentioned Nicole Kidman and how they never knew she was in it. How bizarre.
In my opinion, Marion Cotillard was the only noteworthy performance in the film. If anyone deserved an Oscar nomination it was her. And then again, there were much more deserving performances this year that should have taken Nine's slot.
And then I despised the film, and I gave it 1 out of 5 stars. And that isn't because I was expecting boobs. Being gay, I would have preferred if the camera lingered on Kate Hudson's dancers instead of her.

STRATFORD - Newtown High's girls basketball players could only sit quietly on the bench with forlorn looks on their faces as mighty Masuk celebrated its third consecutive South-West Conference championship Friday night.
Dave Strong his 600th career victory and 19th league title in 28 years at the helm.
"In retrospect, it's nice," Strong said of the milestone, "but the important thing about tonight is the league championship."
The third-seeded Panthers (21-2) clearly earned the right to wear this crown. Their three tournament games were decided by a combined nine points, including a 67-65 semifinal victory against Notre Dame-Fairfield in double overtime.
"And that speaks to the kids' poise," said Strong, who in addition to being modest is the winningest girls basketball coach in state history.
Masuk, which defeated Newtown in double overtime to win the 2001-02 final, has now beaten the Nighthawks seven consecutive times, three of those coming this season.
The outcome was still in doubt when Newtown's Kelley Haines made a steal and went coast-to-coast for a layup that sliced the Panthers' lead to 39-36 with 5:50 remaining in the game.
But the Nighthawks (18-5) would endure a scoring drought that lasted more than four minutes, while crafty 5-foot-6 senior Michelle Martinik made a timely hook shot in the lane for Masuk and teammate Kellye Caufield delivered a basket down low.
Martinik, a Southern Connecticut State recruit, finished with a game-high 15 points, six rebounds and the most valuable player award.
"I'd vote her MVP in the state," Newtown coach Tim Salem said. "She makes everybody on that team better. When there's a big play to be made, she makes it."
Said Martinik: "I think we just really played well as a team and it really came together. Newtown-Masuk is always so much of a rivalry and we always pump ourselves up for it."
Newtown led 10-4 at the outset before the Panthers closed out the first quarter with 10 unanswered points to seize a 14-10 advantage.
The Nighthawks played from behind the rest of the way and never got untracked offensively. Despite a height advantage, they missed numerous close-range shots in the paint and wound up making only 17-of-46 field goal attempts (37 percent) against Masuk's man-to-man after going 9-of-18 in the first half.
"I think we played very good defense in the half-court," Strong said.
On two occasions in the fourth quarter, Newtown grabbed three offensive rebounds during a sequence, yet failed to convert the putbacks.
"We just missed a lot of opportunities," Salem said. "The ball just didn't go in."
Masuk was 9-of-19 in the second half and finished 19-of-43 (44 percent).
"It's not like we played our best game," said Strong. "We played just well enough to win."
Masuk senior point guard Brittany Tartaglia , who suffered through a shooting slump much of the season, contributed 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Unheralded junior forward Caufield also had 10, while center Barb Bria scored eight.
"They do a really good job of executing their offense," Salem said. "That's the best I've seen them shoot. Part of our plan was to try to squeeze the post on them but they hit shots."
"We didn't do nearly as good of a job boxing out," he added. "We gave up a lot of second shots.
Haines, a University of New Hampshire signee, paced Newtown with 14 points on 5-of-16 shooting from the field.
Junior forwards Ashley LaRocque and Katie O'Connor added 10 points apiece. For O'Connor, it was a career high.
Masuk had seized a 23-14 lead with less than four minutes remaining in the first half when LaRocque brought the Nighthawks back in contention. She nailed four consecutive shots - three from the perimeter - in a two-minute span to pull her team within 24-22.
The Panthers led 26-23 at halftime and 37-31 after three periods.
NOTES: The All-Tournament included Newtown's Haines and LaRocque; Masuk's Tartaglia and Caufield; Kolbe's Erica Beverly and Notre Dame's Michele Mihalov.
NEWTOWN (42): Julie Iwanicki 1 0-0 2, Jacky Curran 0 0-0 0, Carly Curran 0 0-0 0, Stephanie Logan 2 2-2 6, Ashley LaRocque 5 0-0 10, Siobhan Cooper 0 0-0 0, Kelley Haines 5 4-5 14, Katie O'Connor 4 2 -2 10. TOTALS: 17 8-9 42.

In this type of surgery, the surgeon places a ring with an inner inflatable band around the top of your stomach to create a small pouch. This makes you feel full after eating a small amount of food. The band has a circular balloon inside that is filled with salt solution. The surgeon can adjust the size of the opening from the pouch to the rest of your stomach by injecting or removing the solution through a small device called a port placed under your skin.
People need to realize that in obesity treatment, just as in hypertension therapy, one drug won't fit all, Aronne said. "In hypertension, there are more than 100 medications and more than 10 therapeutic categories," he added. "That's why treatment of hypertension is so effective. No one medication for hypertension works for every single person. That's how we need to start looking at drugs for obesity."
Did you know that the female body has 9 times more Alpha (fat storing) than Beta (fat-burning) receptors? So, every time a Beta receptor tries to release fat, it has to fight 9 Alpha receptors that try to store fat back in. That's why it's so difficult to sculpt the lower body. I really struggled with my pear-shaped body, until i found a way to reduce estrogen dominance. Read my story here ==> https://bit.ly/aboutmyweightloss

The bypassed small intestine, which carries the bile and pancreatic enzymes that are necessary for the breakdown and absorption of protein and fat, is reconnected to the last portion of the small intestine so that they can eventually mix with the food stream. Similar to the other surgeries described above, the BPD/DS initially helps to reduce the amount of food that is consumed; however, over time this effect lessens and patients are able to eventually consume near "normal" amounts of food. Unlike the other procedures, there is a significant amount of small bowel that is bypassed by the food stream.
Losing weight with diet and exercise is an option for many patients. However, some patients may fail diet and exercise and be at a high risk for disease-related complications due to obesity. In these patients, weight loss surgery may be an option. However, not everyone is a candidate for weight-loss surgery. Patients should consult with a surgeon who performs bariatric surgery to discuss their options. Weight loss surgery is a permanent procedure that requires a lifetime commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a proper diet.
Phentermine-topiramate is a combination of an anticonvulsant (topiramate) and a weight-loss drug (phentermine). Phentermine has the potential to be abused because of its amphetamine-like effects. Other possible side effects include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, insomnia, constipation and nervousness. Topiramate increases the risk of birth defects.

Golden Gate Capital appears to be the victor in a bankruptcy auction for Eddie Bauer Holdings with an all-cash bid of $286 million -- the highest and best offer, according to the retailer.
Golden Gate Capital appears to be the victor in a bankruptcy auction for Eddie Bauer Holdings (Pink Sheets: EBHIQ) with an all-cash bid of $286 million -- the highest and best offer, according to the retailer. The offer must still get a stamp of approval from the court on July 22. If approved, the transaction is expected to close in early August.
Eddie Bauer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware in June with a plan to sell its assets to CCMP Capital for $202 million. The CCMP bid set the floor for the auction.
Among the reported interested companies were Iconix Brand Group (Nasdaq: ICON), VF Corp. (NYSE: VFC), private-equity firm Hilco Consumer Capital and liquidator Gordon Brothers Group.
At the time of the Chapter 11 filing, Eddie Bauer president/CEO Neil Fiske said in a statement that "a crushing debt burden left from the Spiegel bankruptcy combined with the severe, prolonged recession have left us with no choice but to look for ways to restructure the company's balance sheet." Former parent Spiegel had filed for bankruptcy protection in 2003, and Eddie Bauer has been an independent company since 2005.
Golden Gate Capital (www.goldengatecap.com) is a private equity firm with $9 billion in capital under management with buyout and growth equity investments across a wide variety of industries. Its consumer and retail portfolio includes Eddie Bauer's former owner, Spiegel.
Eddie Bauer had $476.1 million in assets and $426.7 million in debt when it filed for bankruptcy protection. Founded in 1920, the company lost money in each of the past three years. It employs 7,700 people in the United States, including several hundred at its Bellevue, Wash., headquarters, plus 933 in Canada.
Earlier this month, Eddie Bauer received final approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware for $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing and other motions that allowed it to continue operating while awaiting a sale. The Nasdaq Stock market delisted the company in late June.

Irfan Pathan Dropped Rishabh Pant From His Best India XI For T20 World Cup
By: Jatin KhandelwalMon, 20 Jun 20221655716549000
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has made a big statement by dropping Rishabh Pant from his India best eleven to start at the T20 World Cup, scheduled for October-November in Australia.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has made a big statement by dropping Rishabh Pant from his India best eleven to start at the T20 World Cup, scheduled for October-November in Australia.
Pant hasn't had the best of the times recently with the bat. In the IPL 2022, the Delhi Capitals skipper had scored 340 runs at an average of 30.90 and without a single half-century. But, his strike rate of 151.78 meant that his side was getting quick runs in the middle and Pant showed much more intent than he had in the two seasons before- when his strike rates were 113.95 in 2020 and 128.52 in 2021.

In the South Africa series, where he led the country for the first time, Pant started off well, blasting 29 runs off 16 balls, but after that could manage poor scores of: 5 off 7 bals, 6 off 8 and 17 off 23; in the fifth T20I, he got to face only one ball, scoring a single off it before the match was washed out.
On the other hand, the likes of Ishan Kishan – top-scorer in the series with 206 runs at strike rate of 150 – and Dinesh Karthik – Man of the Match in must-win Rajkot game and IPL 2022's best finisher – have grabbed their chances spectacularly in this series.
Irfan Pathan leaves out Pant from his T20 World Cup XI
Pathan picked the favored and expected top three of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli banking on their experience even though Kohli struggled in the IPL.
"In Australia you need powerful starts because the ball swings and seams a lot. So you need a player who has a lot of experience," he said as the legendary all-rounder named KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli as top-order line-up," Pathan said on Star Sports.
"Kohli may not have performed well so far but in Australia he has scored a lot of runs," he said.

The commentator then picked the in-form Suryakumar Yadav, who has been arguably India's best T20 batsman since making his debut last year, followed by the fire-power of Pandya, Karthik and all-rounder Jadeja, excluding Pant from the side.
Pathan's bowling combination has one more spinner – Chahal – along with three pacers.
Here is Irfan Pathan's India XI for 2022 T20 World Cup:
KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

I juz came back from my in-law's place! We went home to celebrate her birthday yesterday. I made a simple birthday cake for her....it's a combination of non-baked coffee cream cheese filling and hazelnut sponge cake. Actually, this is my first trial and have no idea how it looks like; not untill they blow the candles and then slice the thing out!
- beat all ingredients (B) untill well mixed and fluffy.
- whisk all ingredients (A) untill peak foam.
- fold mixture (A) into mixture (B) untill well combine.
- pour batter into a 9" tray and bake for 30mins at 180'c.
- leave cool then divide into 3 portion.
- combine sugar and cream cheese and mix well.
- combine gelatine and hot coffee untill mixed.
- beat cream cheese mixture, whip cream and gelatine mixture untill combined.
- sandwich the cake layers with cream cheese mixture in a cake ring.
- chill the cake for 4 hours or overnight.
- then decorate the cake as desire.
Ta...da...Here's my in-law's birthday cake. A lovely simple one!
Wow....a really satisfying result! Luckily, I didn't mess up the party....he he ! The whole family likes it very much.

Simplicity at its best! I can just eat the delicious hazelnut cake without any frosting too!
I like your kind of simple. It looks simply scrumptious! I have a nice steamy cup of coffee which would go perfect with it!

Subway Station Defibrillators
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) were installed within line of sight of Collector Booths at all 69 Subway/RT stations in 2011. The AEDs can be used in the event of cardiac emergency. Each unit is encased in appropriately labelled, glass-fronted white cabinets, 38 centimetres by 33 centimetres in size.
Customer Facing Information Screens
Digital video screens are located above the platforms in the majority of subway stations. A great source of information, these 101-centimetre, flat screens show TTC service updates, next-train arrival times, the date and time, as well as news, weather, advertising, charity and community messages. During emergencies, key information will appear on these screens. Additional flat screens are being installed in the subway system to improve customer communications by showing the status of subway and surface routes that serve each station, as well as providing important updates that customers would require before paying their fare.
Customers can also use Station Information and Next-Vehicle-Arrival screens and monitors at a growing number of subway stations and transit shelters to help them make more informed decisions about their transit trips.
After 95 years in service – and at 30 billion customers carried – the TTC has grown to become one of the most visible and vital public service organizations in the Greater Toronto Area.
In 2015, the TTC set an all-time record of 538 million rides, surpassing 2014's record ridership total of 535 million.
The TTC carries one billion customers approximately every 22 months. The TTC is expected to welcome its 31 billionth rider in the summer of 2017.
More than 13,000 employees serve well over half-a-billion customers annually. With more than 1.8 million customer journeys on a typical weekday, the TTC has one of the highest per-capita ridership rates in North America.
The TTC serves some 5.5 million people in the Greater Toronto Area, with a network of subways, streetcars, buses, and a specialized service, Wheel-Trans, for people who require accessible transportation.
In 2013, the TTC launched its Five-Year Corporate Plan. The Plan outlines seven key objectives and a delivery strategy for each. Those objectives are: Safety. Customer. People. Assets. Growth. Financial Stability. Reputation. These are the things that the TTC must get right in order to achieve its vision of a transit system that makes Toronto proud.
Total number of TTC employees as of December 31, 2015 – 13,681.
Estimated number of cars that a TTC vehicle replaces during a typical morning rush hour:
Low-floor bus (12 metre): 45
Low-floor articulated bus (18 metre): 70
CLRV streetcar: 65
ALRV streetcar: 95
New low-floor articulated streetcar: 115
SRT train (4 cars): 195
T-1 train (6 cars): 900
Toronto Rocket train (6 cars): 990
[Figures are based on TTC loading standards for each mode divided by A.M. rush average automobile occupancy (1.11) for inbound trips to the city of Toronto.]

Why Google, Not Apple, is the Bigger eSIM Threat to MNOs
Orignally published on 24th February 2017
As we get closer to publishing our next report on eSIM I have been thinking about some of the issues and common assumptions that get made about eSIM. One that I find myself in opposition to is the comment that Apple will be the one to lead with eSIM for smartphones.
As we get closer to publishing our next report on eSIM I have been thinking about some of the issues and common assumptions that get made about eSIM. One that I find myself in opposition to is the comment that Apple will be the one to lead with eSIM for smartphones. For those of you that do not know, Apple gets talked about a lot with regard to eSIM because news leaked six years ago that it was working with Gemalto to develop an eSIM of some sort – a project that was quickly put on the backburner once news broke and dismayed MNOs adopted a strong stance against it. However, that was six years ago and a lot has changed in that time, including Apple's market positioning.
Peak Apple has Passed; Now it has Too Much to Lose
If we were to identify "Peak Apple" it would have been the year that followed the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. After seven years of growth driven by the iPhone (and boosted by the iPad and iPad Mini) the autumn of 2014 saw the first major revamp of the iPhone's physical hardware. Tapping into (or combatting) the rise of the phablet the 6 and 6 Plus saw a larger form factor and screen introduced causing much excitement amongst consumers around the world after the relative disappointment of the 5S and 5C. These devices also coincided with the rapid penetration into China, Japan and other countries on the back of new commercial agreements. All in all, Apple could not do much wrong in 2014 and 2015.
However, now economic uncertainties, the lacklustre reception of the 6S and 6S Plus, falling iPad sales and some disappointment relating to the Apple Watch's sales means that Apple is much more sensitive to outside forces. Its most recent financial performance has improved but it was only last year that Apple reported it first ever declines in iPhone shipments and subsequently its first revenue decline.
All of this has highlighted just how reliant Apple is on its iPhone sales these days. If Apple really want to disrupt the mobile industry by employing an eSIM and taking more direct control of consumers, then the time to do it was in 2014-15. However, the technology wasn't ready to fully support this then, there were no specifications available and those that first came were focused on M2M and IoT applications. The only option would have been for Apple to go down a completely proprietary route which would have alienated many customers, partners and distribution channels.
Google has Little to Lose and Much to Gain
By contrast, Google has always been predominantly focused on software platforms to engage its user base and partners. Whilst it has dabbled with its Nexus devices, produced in partnership with a selection of OEMs, it has always been to drive wider sales of its Android devices and to promote the new releases of its OS in conjunction with hardware developments. Thus, whilst Android has become the dominant smartphone and tablet OS as well as growing share in other categories from TV to wearables and automotive.
To date, Google has been open-market in terms of retail channel. Its Nexus devices were initially showcases at low cost rather than serious commercial offerings. This changed to a degree with the last iteration, the 6P which was more of a traditional flagship device but it remained with the existing distribution model. As a result, Google does not have the anywhere near the same level of dependency on mobile operators as Apple does for device sales – if for no other reason than it does not sell anywhere near the same volume of devices.
Google has Shown a Propensity to Disrupt
Google has never been shy to comment on the need for change where it felt that the market was slow to evolve or companies were holding it back. Whilst Android has become dominant this is on the back of a degree of openness that has allowed partners to add their own take. This has seen it affect the business models and service delivery for fixed-line broadband sector, the computer industry, mobile, the Internet and now it is moving into accessing content, automotive, home automation, education and enterprise. The mobile sector is one which generally has not evolved hugely in terms of the leading markets, their structure and the major players (brands may change but not much else) and with Pixel, Google is throwing its hat into the ring.
With the replacement of the Nexus brand with Pixel, Google has furthered its push into the high-end and is taking charge of the whole process as it learns to better understand the requirements to successfully merge with software with hardware. With the Pixel smartphones it has also started to build out its physical distribution channels. Now it has its first country-specific agreements which will see it gain more of a footing and a retail presence. For example, Verizon is an exclusive partner in the US, but it is not limited to operators and is also selecting traditional retailers where the market conditions are suitable.
eSIM is a Natural Extension of Google's New Strategy
In short, Google has much less to lose and much to gain. Designing and controlling the hardware gives it a much better understanding of the requirements to optimise its apps and platforms. Acting as an aggregator to open up the mobile market and managing the service/connectivity would be an extension of this thinking. Building out a network or retail partners would be a natural fit for such a move as Google rolls out its connected devices for mobile, smart home and automotive.
A further point of note accompanying the new Pixel smartphones was the built-in 24-7 customer care. One of the questions that we have for eSIM is the management of the device and user, having this designed into the device minimises this issue; if there is a connection or service problem Google can address this. Is the signal no longer of a minimum standard? With an eSIM the user's profile can be simply ported to another network. Want some temporary roaming? Same fix. In fact, by employing multiple profiles, Google could go as far as to guarantee access to the best available network, ensuring high-speed data and voice calls for their customers.
Google is relatively advanced in terms of trying out its own networks (e.g. Project Fi) and could be better positioned to set up as an MVNO or (data) service aggregator. Generally, it is more interested in the users' data than hardware sales. Its new products include Google WiFi, a smarter Wi-Fi network, and Google Home which would link well with a mobile offering. If it wanted a base to future-proof its position as interface for our data, or to deliver its own OTT services and content, or to integrate Google Assistant into more environments then eSIM could be an integral component for much of this.

Q: ConcurrentMap is not concurrent? Can't remove a node from check-alive-system I'm trying to have concurrency on a thread in my check-"AliveSystem" which is on every node in the cluster for sending alive-packets and checking if another node sent his alive-packet under the given time with max. 3 fails.
gotAlive() is executed outside when got an alive-packet
addNode() or removeNode() are executed when another node logs in/out
But when e.g. removeNode() is executed, so that getNodes().isEmpty() should be true because there are 100%ly no other nodes, then getNodes().isEmpty() still false
Maybe for better understanding, here is an example:

*

*node1 start

*enable AliveSystem (on node1)

*node2 start

*enable AliveSystem (on node2)

*addNode(node1) (on node2)

*addNode(node2) (on node1)

*stop node1

*removeNode(node1) (on node2)

*AliveSystem still check for node1 (on node2)

Cunaco fue una de las comunas que integró el antiguo departamento de San Fernando, siendo conformada por una subdelegación homónima.

Fue creada por decreto supremo del presidente Federico Errázuriz Zañartu, el 25 de abril de 1901, y fue suprimida por Carlos Ibáñez del Campo en 1928.

Historia
La comuna de Cunaco fue creada por decreto supremo del presidente Federico Errázuriz el 25 de abril de 1901, tomando como base la subdelegación de igual nombre, que había sido conformada el 14 de agosto de 1867 y que, desde 1891, pertenecía administrativamente a la comuna de Nancagua.

El decreto de Errázuriz estipula:

El Decreto con Fuerza de Ley N.º 8.583 del 30 de diciembre de 1927 redistribuye el territorio de Colchagua. La comuna de Cunaco se suprime y su territorio se divide entre las comunas de Nancagua, en el departamento de San Fernando, y Palmilla y Santa Cruz, en el departamento de Santa Cruz.

Alexis Ayala Navigating Through Sports Media
By John "Woods" Armwood III
The Michigan product, Alexis Ayala, has begun to pave a way for many young journalists like myself. In the brief time she's been involved in sports media the strides she's making seem to be just the tip of the iceberg. Ayala's been involved with sports since she can walk. Her biggest inspiration stems from her admiration and love for her father, Alejandro Ayala.
"My dad's my hero and best friend," said Ayala during her Sh3GotGame interview. "He loved basketball since I can remember. His passion radiates and can touch anyone, he believes the game teaches so much more than basketball."
My dad is the epitome of the best dad and husband and man ever #doingitright
— Lexi Ayala (@LexiReyne1523) June 29, 2015
Alexis Ayala's Transition From Athlete to Sports Broadcaster
Ayala openly discusses her excitement and joy for the game of basketball. Although her playing days are over she wishes they weren't. She jokingly admits that she's checked her eligibility several times, however, she has none remaining. Ayala originally played for two years at Lawrence Technology University which led to almost walking on at Michigan State University and playing for another two years.
Nonetheless, she realized that the likelihood of her being drafted to the WNBA was slim. However, like most, she loved the game so much that she wanted to be around it even if she wasn't playing any longer. So instead, she majored in broadcasting while transferring to M.S.U. to get a head start on her career. Ayala began capitalizing on her opportunities given throughout the COVID-19 lockdown period by calling games in the studio by herself. While looking to find herself and her broadcasting voice as she became more comfortable she created a persona essentially, "Big Lexi".
When asked where did her persona originate from, many would assume that it came from a sports-related incident. However, it came from a viral video on the internet sensation at the time, Vine. The "Big Lexi" video surfaced ad followed her throughout high school and college.
"I always introduce myself as Big Lexi when given the opportunity," explained Ayala.
What Does Ayala Love About Broadcasting?
The thing that separates broadcasting and journalism is the ability to wear one's heart on their sleeve. Ayala feels similar in regards to the ability to be openly passionate about the game she loves. While she admits she loved to journal and write while younger, it's a different energy and feel when you're broadcasting a game and someone hits a huge shot.
Some of her biggest inspirations from on-air talents are Jemelle Hill and Michelle Beadle. She admires how they are unapologetically themselves and still managed to produce amazing content. Although both recently got kicked off their respective shows she admires how they pivoted and continue to still find success within their adversity. Not to mention, Meghan McKeown, sports broadcaster for the Chicago Sky and Ayala's mentor. Naturally, she's been one of the biggest influences on Ayala's career.
"I always loved Michelle Beadle and Jemelle Hill!" emphasized Ayala. "They were going to be themselves no matter what. I can't forget my mentor, Meghan McKeown, she's been absolutely amazing, as well."
Ayala's Advice on Being "Different"
Sometimes the key to being different, ironically, is just being yourself. Ayala spoke a lot about her being seen as "different" from the pack because she just stopped comparing and eventually didn't realize it was even a pack. Sometimes one's so indulged in being themselves that they literally cannot see anyone else. Then and only then is when people recognize you for you is the sentiment Ayala subscribes to.
In fact, she advises many young journalists to start in a small market to allow themselves to make tons of mistakes. The most confident and intelligent people mess up every day. She advises everyone to be comfortable with messing up and just building upon that mess up. Many would rather mess up on a smaller scale vs. messing up for the entire world to see.
"I advise people always to sometimes forget time is even real," Ayala stated passionately. "Staying in your own lane and allowing things to happen when they happen is the best course of action. Also, don't be afraid to mess up, preferably, in smaller markets but mess up early."
In conclusion, when asked is there any other advice she'd be willing to offer to any other young journalists and broadcasters that may resonate with her story, she responded:
"No matter what say 'Yes' to everything. Tons of people in the world shut themselves out from so many opportunities because of fear. Be fearless and get what you're worth."
