Friday Classics: Singham!!!! A Nice Bright Happy Violent Movie
Posted on January 11, 2019 by mredlich21
Well, this movie is just as good as I remembered! Okay, middle bit is kind of confusing and boring, but it only lasts about 20 minutes and then we can move on.
When Rohit Shetty is good, he is really really good. It's not the plot of the film, it's the feel of it, the bright light and fight scenes that make you go "OH NO WAY!" and hero that is so powerful and perfect it makes you feel powerful and perfect too just by watching him. And the heroine is no slouch either, makes you feel not-terrible about being a woman, like you still have some power and ability to think for yourself. Most of all it makes you feel good about the world, villages are sunny and friendly and filled with honest people, cities are pretty nice too, and everything works out for the best in the end.
In this particular film his message is a simple and hopeful one: "This village belongs to me, and I belong to this village". Our hero is a brave officer, but only so long as his village supports him. And his bravery is all to serve them. It is a community in which there is one remarkable hero, and he is given a nurturing place in which to grow and use his power to help others.
The other thing I was thinking of with this film was the "tall poppy" theory. That the tallest and most promising talents are cut down, that this is supposed to be "fair" to the community. That the community as a whole (especially those with power) are eager to cut down this "tall poppy"s and leave only the average ones in place.
This is a movie about those superhero police officers that Indian film loves. But the question is, does India love them? Can an honest talented man simply life his life, or must he always be afraid of being cut down? Not by his enemies, but by strangers, those who will leap on any story that tears down those above them, that gives them a sense of superiority by no longer having to look up. And of course the tragedy is, those very people they are cutting down are the ones who could best serve them, who could help and make a difference.
Ajay is the perfect lead actor for this film, he is a hero, you see it as soon as he walks on screen. But he is also "average" somehow. He doesn't feel like a blessed by fate type who is incapable of being harmed, he feels like a person who needs people, who connects with people and wants them around him and wants to take care of them.
Kajal is okay as the heroine. It's not as specific a part, although still something probably half the actresses in India couldn't play. She has to be innocent and youthful, not a career woman type or a "sexy" type. But she also has to be strong and confident and sure of herself and what she wants, not a crying passive type. Kajal plays this kind of heroine to perfection, because Telugu films give her plenty of opportunities for this type, not the sophisticated spoiled city type, or the total innocent village girl, but something in between.
Prakash Raj of course makes the film. This was just as he started to break through and become a regular sight on Hindi cinema screens (before he spoke out against the BJP and got blackballed). And he showed why he was so wonderful, playing yet another corrupt gangster type, but with a wonderful sort of crazed casualness about it. He really doesn't get angry that much in this film, he is more reflective and kind of amused at himself.
But really, it's Rohit Shetty. The songs, the action, the shot of a field with workers in it right outside the back door of the police station, it all creates this almost fairy tale feel, a story of good and evil and the right and wrong of society.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILER SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
We start with a dark fable. An honest police officer tried to do his job and was framed for taking bribes. The frame was bad, that was done by Prakash Raj's men. But what destroyed him was what came after, the public and the press hounding him, eager to believe the worst and tear him down. Until finally only his young son and wife were left to believe him, and he killed himself.
And then we get the bright fable. In a little village a few miles away, there is a police officer who is always unquestioningly supported and loved. And he gives love in return. He never files a case because he never has to. He prefers to solve things through peaceful discussion, or even putting up his own money to solve an issue. And when he is threatened, when Prakash Raj implies that he is corrupt, the village gathers around him and defends him. Prakash Raj is stunned at this response, but Ajay gives him a simple answer, "This village belongs to me, and I belong to this village". His good deeds come back to him a thousandfold, the villagers let him do his job of maintaining the peace, and in return they honor him and appreciate him for his skills, and support him so he can best use his skills to protect them.
This sounds like the worst kind of "back the badge" propaganda, but it really isn't. It's not talking about police brutality accusations, or cleaning up the streets by taking on small time criminals, or anything like that. It's more about public servants and talented bureaucrats. And the jealousy of the private sector, and lack of support from the politicians. Singham, our hero officer, came from a wealthy family. He chose to donate his intelligence and abilities to the greater good of the community. And the community appreciated what he did, had some understanding of his abilities and judgements, didn't resent his position but saw how it fit into the general pattern of the village life and enriched them all. But in the city, we learn that hardworking intelligent police officers are resented, looked down on, society has adjusted itself to pretend it does not need these police officers, that in fact they are more a curse than a blessing. And the police have adjusted themselves to acting more like a curse than a blessing.
This would be a depressing movie if that's all it was, wouldn't it? But, yaaaay! That's just the middle 20 minutes! Ajay is in his happy little village, with his spunky perfect match heroine. And then he runs afoul of Prakash Raj and neatly destroys him. Which inspires Prakash to bring him to the city and show him his power. The first 20 minutes in the city are terrible, Ajay realizes he has nothing and no one to support him and it breaks him down. His superior officers don't support him, and nor do his inferior (is that right?) officers. The general public doesn't trust him either. And Prakash Raj is trying to kill him. But then Ajay gets over it. He learns that it doesn't matter if he no longer has people to support him, he still has people he should support. It's all about give and take, and sometimes you give before you can get. And then he loses his fear of consequences or anything else and can return to his heroic nature.
And so we have this delightfully happy film. The first half is a village idyll, the perfect community where everyone cares for each other and Ajay maintains the balance. And then there is the middle dark bit. And then it is all happy again as all the sins come home to roost and Ajay builds his own new community in his new place, reminding the police that they are part of the greater fabric of society and should act like it.
Oh, and along the way, a car flips and spins over Ajay and he pulls the driver out through the window as it flies over him. Also, earlier, he kicks someone so they spin floating in the air, and he can use them as a platform to jump on and set up his kick. Shetty Physics!!!!

Of course he does!
In other news, when are you going to wrap up the "Best of 2018" stuff? I'm getting lost trying to navigate through all the top-of-the-list postings to find your most recent additions.
I was thinking maybe by the end of the month.

Gallarus Castle is a four-storey rectangular tower house in Baile na nGall, County Kerry, Ireland and is notable as one of the few fortified structures preserved on the Dingle Peninsula.

History
Gallarus Castle was built in the 15th century by the Knight of Kerry, the holder of a hereditary knighthood belonging to the Geraldine Dynasty. It is now an Irish heritage site.

The building has been extensively restored and a new rectangular doorway inserted in the north wall. There is no evidence of a stone stairway below the second floor. A mural stairway rises in the east wall and the ceilings on the third and fourth floor are vaulted.

Gallarus Castle stands about  away from the better known and more historically significant Gallarus Oratory.

West Van Run is just a few weeks away, are you ready? In the last blog, I took a look at the 5k course and gave you a little preview. That same day, I ran the 10k course as well. I'm happy to say that it's very different from the 5k and will present its own challenges.
Disclaimer: I used RunGo to follow the course; however I missed a couple of turns due to glitches and had to double back so my elevation stats may not be completely accurate.
Watch the Relive route here.
You start at Park Royal South by this landmark.
You head east until you hit Taylor Way and that's where you make 2 quick right turns. You'll end up in a narrow road heading west again in between the Park Royal South buildings.
Go straight down this way and follow until you get out of the mall parking lot.
You're going backwards on the 5k course!
You have to run along Bellevue all the way to 25th Street. Remember that nice downhill from the 5k course? You have to climb that this time. It's shorter, steeper and can catch someone off guard. The hill starts at about 2.4 km into the race (around 18th Street) and lasts ~300-400 m until 20th Street. Once you get over that, it's smooth sailing until you get to the end of the road. You will need to do a hairpin left turn at 25th Street so plan accordingly. As you can see on my map, I ended up near the water. DON'T GO THERE. lol That was a glitch. Make a hairpin turn on 25th and again to take you back to Bellevue again.
This is 25th Street. You make a left turn (heading towards the water) and another quick left on the other side of the tracks.
You start heading back east here. You're almost halfway done.
Run a block east on Bellevue before you have to make a right on 24th Street and a left onto the seawall. This is my favourite part of the course and also the most scenic. It's flat so it's time to kick it into gear and increase your pace. Try for a negative split!
Beautiful view in any kind of weather… I hope it's sunny for you though.
When you reach John Lawson Park, you'll be getting off the seawall by making a left at 18th Street and then a quick right onto Argyle Avenue. This is also the Spirit Trail so just keep heading east and you'll hit Ambleside Park.
Here's the out and back… it's like a runway.
Once you leave this section you'll eventually make a left onto Argyle Avenue again, heading east towards the finish line. Not until you run past Ambleside Beach though.
Ambleside Beach – don't stop for Pokemon here… keep going!
You can finally see the Lion's Gate Bridge… You're getting close.
You will probably remember this section from past West Van Run races, except you're going the opposite direction this time. Once you hit this trail you're about a kilometer away. It's time to push.
Once you see this bridge, you're almost at Park Royal so gun it. There may be a little hill on the way to the parking lot but it's minimal. Follow the markers through the parking lot, make that final left at the Starbucks and sprint towards Village Taphouse.
Congrats! You deserve a beer… which you can get here.
I love this 10k course. It's mostly flat with lots of scenic spots. The second half is mostly along the water or surrounded by trees. It's definitely not a copy of the 5k course and then some. You do run a portion of the 5k course but you run it in the opposite direction, which presents a whole new challenge (that hill on Bellevue). Those running both races will be satisfied with how different they are. This course is definitely more scenic than the 5k because it takes you to the Centennial Seawall and Ambleside Beach. I love running along the water so it's no surprise that those are my favourite parts of the course. The out and back is still there, I remember it from my last West Van Run race. It's not my favourite but it's definitely a mental test for me. The good news is that once you're done that section you're only about 2 km away from the finish.
Race day is in 3 weeks. Would you like to give this race a try? Maybe this blog post will convince you or go right ahead and register here. Use my discount code JEANNINE for 15% off too!

Sri Lanka sets US$3.5bn tea export target for 2030
Monday August 12, 2019 10:11
ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka is targeting 3.5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange and 350 million kilogrammes of tea production by 2030, officials said.
"Our target is 350 million kilogrammes of tea production and 3.5 billion US dollars in exports," Michael de Soyza an ex-Chairman of the Colombo Tea Traders' Association (CTTA), an industry body said at the 125th anniversary of the industry association.
He said that a workshop was held on August 09 to start the program, with presentations from experts including former Sri Lanka Tea Board chairpersons such as Rohan Pethiyagoda and Janaki Kuruppu to give initial guidance.
He and Anil Cooke, another industry veteran are leading the initiative.
Cooke, an ex-Chairman of the Colombo Brokers' Association, said that it was necessary for some such as Pethiyagoda to rein in the industry from setting too ambitious a target.
Sri Lanka's tea production has remained at around 300 million kilogrammes over the past two decades, with a peak 340 million kilogramme crop in 2013, as the country's tea growing land has remained unchanged, according to official data. Tea production in 2018 was 303.8 million kilogrammes, down from 307.1 million kilogrammes from a year earlier.
Sri Lanka still exports most of its produce as loose tea in bulk or packets, whereas the world now enjoys new products, such as instant tea and iced-tea.
Sri Lanka's tea exports have stagnated between 1 billion US dollars and 1.63 billion US dollars from 2007 to 2018, with a peak 1.63 billion US dollars in 2014.
In 2018 Sri Lanka exported 1.43 billion US dollars of tea, down from 1.53 billion US dollars in 2017.
Sri Lanka's main export destinations in the Middle East have been in flux over the past decade. African nations are also becoming more competitive than Ceylon Tea.
Cooke said that the 2030 program will create strategic pathways for the future of Sri Lanka's tea industry.
"We have reached a point where the world is becoming volatile," he said.
"All stakeholders are looking for direction."
"So, it is time for the private sector to take charge of shaping the future."
He said that each stakeholder segment such as tea brokers, exporters and planters will set up working groups to ascertain the gradual changes required in the industry.
"It is still early. We will flesh out the vision going forward," he said.
"We will drive all key areas."
"This will not be a one-off exercise. It will be an ongoing process."
Cooke said that the industry will draw on the experience of USAID's The Competitiveness Program which ran till 2007, to plan for the 2030 targets.
Meanwhile de Soyza said that the industry would also have to adopt sustainable practices to protect the environment.
Cooke said that few firms, such as Elpitiya Plantations Plc and Bogawantalawa Tea Estates Plc have fully adopted sustainable practices. (Colombo/Aug12/2019)

According to a news release from Orange Police Department (OPD) Capt. Robert Enmon, a black male entered the business brandishing a firearm and demanded money. Bank staff complied and the suspect left the store with an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency.
The black male was described as about 5-foot-6, wearing a blue and white dress, a blue zip-up jacket and a long black wig.
The suspect vehicle is a newer model silver four-door Dodge dually truck with running boards, mud flaps and a large metal front bumper.
OPD is currently investigating the armed robbery and that anyone with information regarding this crime, contact the Detective Division at (409) 883-1095, Crime Stoppers at 409-883-TIPS (8477) or the FBI at (409) 832-8571.


I've been gathering old computers a good number of years now and had managed to get near enough all of the one's I really want with one exception. The FM Towns was a Japanese PC variant which came out in 1989. It was a 32-bit machine with 640×480 SVGA like graphics, 2Mb of RAM, 8 channel music + 6 channel PCM, built-in CD-ROM, sprite hardware and was basically years ahead of anything here in the UK where I was either still using a 48K ZX Spectrum or just getting my first 8Mhz CGA PC. The name apparently comes from the Nobel physics prize winner Charles Townes but the spelling was changed to make sure people pronounced it correctly. The FM stands for Fujitsu Micro.
This is an FM Towns II UR which is a 486SX, with 2Mb of RAM, a pair of 3.5 inch floppies up the front and a really tiny (about 8″) but extremely sharp built-in monitor. Allegedly a few FM Towns did make their way to the UK but the only realistic way of getting one of these is to import it from Japan. They aren't cheap and they definitely aren't light so this is one for the real "enthusiasts" only. The power supply over there is only 100V so it needs a transformer to work in the UK. The one I've used on my machines from the USA is 110V (presumably deliberately in the middle of the two standards) and this seems to work fine.
Round the back are some expansion slots, monitor in/out sockets RS & printer ports and most importantly from my point of view a SCSI port for adding an external drive. FM Towns machines didn't usually come with a hard drive and needed to boot the operating system from a CD. With just 2Mb of RAM as standard, that doesn't leave much room to play with and from what I'm seeing, a hard drive is a near essential extra as we'll see shortly.
The keyboard has some interesting keys that I'm not used to including an extra 8 function keys and a '000' key. I can't say I'm a fan of having extra keys directly below the spacebar but I won't be doing a lot of typing on this. The mouse is taken from an MSX which has compatible controllers and the gamepad is a fairly simple affair that I'll probably ignore in favour of keyboard whenever given the opportunity.
The music and sound effects are fantastic. I especially like the crescendo at the end of the briefing but the effect is slightly ruined when the next scene has to load. From what I'm seeing, this could well be the best version of WC1 but the loading times and constant pauses are jarring to say the least. It clearly needs that hard disk so I've ordered a cheap refurbished 2Gb IBM laptop hard disk + a 50-68 pin SCSI cable off Ebay. I'm hoping that I can more or less just plug that in and be good to go but I can't profess to knowing anything at all about SCSI drives or installing them in obscure Japanese computers. I'm also looking into memory expansion. The Towns uses a standard 72pin SIMM (non parity, non EDO) so if I chuck in an 8Mb chip it should in theory greatly reduce the need to load data all the time.
Much like the Turbo button on old PC's, the Towns has two modes with the slower being compatible with the original machine (386SX). I did try running Wing Commander in fast mode (hold down T at boot) but it clearly ran too quickly and slow mode is the way to go. Other games I've tried like Ultima Underworld and Alone in the Dark benefit greatly from the extra speed of fast mode. Alone in the Dark actually caches screens to floppy disk when playing the intro in order to not stop the CD music. When you are using a floppy drive as virtual memory, I think it's a clear sign that you need a hard disk.
The Ultima games on the other hand are much less demanding and run fine without the hard disk, even the famous Ultima 6 talkie version. Underworld I would have benefitted but didn't run too badly. Underworld II actually requires a hard disk to run at all although it doesn't appear to mention this on the outside on the box, only when you read the setup instructions. I'll play through some of these properly when I get the chance.
For now, and pretty much as ever when buying an old machine like this, I need to throw a bit more money at it. Compared to the IIGS which was a serious money pit, I may have got off lightly this time. I'll wait for all the bits to arrive and then see if I can take a proper look at Wing Commander.

When I am  done putting the foot down with Elaine we walk back downstairs. Laurent was still sitting on the couch where we left him, I can  smell Edward and Bella.
They walk in followed by the others who walk straight to the garage.
Edward stops in his tracks when he sees  Laurent, he growls. I step in front of him.
"He came to help," I reassure  Edward. He looks at Laurent and nods.
"I am very intrigued with the life you have made here, but I won't be in a war with James, I think I will go check out that Coven you told me about in Alaska. " Laurent says to me.
"Do not underestimate James, he has incredible senses, I've never seen anything like him in my 300 years."
Edward nods, and Laurent walks by and out the door.
Elaine tenses up next to me, for reasons I know not. She must be so stressed. I put a shoulder around her.
Elaine holds up her hand.
they both go up the stairs.
"Carlisle I don't know what is going to happen, but please, just make sure she's safe, no matter what." He says to me. I nod.
I would guard her with my life. Nothing would hurt my Elaine.
I walk up the stairs and to my office with Bella. We switch clothes. She took my jacket gratefully. Poor girl must be freezing.
I frown, this poor girl didn't belong in this world. None of us did, we were all just stuck. I had to make sure she didn't get stuck like all of us.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." I whisper.
She looks at me with tears in her eyes, and nods.
I would have to keep this promise at all costs.
"I love you Elaine," Bella whispers. I smiled.
She reminds me of what I use to imagine my daughter would look like.
"I love you too, Bells, now lets go." I whisper.
We both walked down the stairs.
"Then you'll have to switch clothes again, Rose?" He asks looking at Rosalie, Rose sneer.
"Fine, I'll do it," She whispers, We walk upstairs and do the same thing that Bella and I just did.
When we come back stairs. Carlisle is standing at the bottom of the stairs.
He pulls me in immediately.
"Letting you go with them, it will be physically painful for me,"  he whispers into my ear. I nod, he is talking about the mating bound.
"It will be easier in a sense, for Bella and Edward. Bella won't feel the physical effects because she is human, but she'll feel the emotional ones. Probably worst than we do. " He explains.
I walked to the garage and he follows me.
I look to see Edward and Bella saying goodbye through the window.
Carlisle walks me to the car.
"I love you to the moon and back," I whisper.
"And I love you to the sun and back,"
I laugh and roll my eyes, before getting into the car.
I turn to see that Edward and Bella are having a very emotional goodbye, I smile at them.
"I promise Edward, I'll get her back to you no matter what," I whisper to quiet for Bella to hear.
"Please be careful, Elaine." he whispers back.
I nod, then look forward to give him and Bella so privacy.
When they're done we start to drive away.
The further I get from Carlisle, the more intense the fire in my chest gets.
By the time we are at the Washington border, I am clenching my teeth to keep me from screaming.
This was going to take some getting use to.
Edward, Rose, Emmett, and me are all driving around looking for a good place to leave Bella's scent and track this James guy. I could rip him to shreds for what he did to my Elaine.
I wince as the pain in my chest gets worst and worst the farther I get from my precious Elaine.
"Carlisle, are you okay?" Edward asks from the passenger seat.
"Yeah, son, it's just the mating bond is a lot more intense than I thought it would be.
"I'm sorry I have to put Elaine and you through this, it must be painful for you both."
I nod, but don't say much for the rest of the ride.
It's the first time in more than a hundred years that I have felt real intense pain, and I wasn't liking it.
"Carlisle?" Edward asked looking at me.
Rose and Emmett had already gotten out. I looked at him. He looked so much like her.
But I don't sound like myself. My voice sounds strain.
"Call her, she's probably experiencing the same pain you are,"
He says. I wince at the thought, knowing he is right.
He start to run after the other two.
I dial Elaine's number with trembling hands.
"We just landed in Phoenix."
"Baby I miss you so much,"
I whisper into the phone.
"I miss you too, I feel like my chest is going to burn off,"
She says through gritting teeth.
I frown, wanting nothing more but to go to her, to ease her pain.
"I know baby, that's how I feel. It'll get better when we see each other again."
I hear her take a sharp intake of breathe.
"I know, it's just- it hurts, but I'm staying strong. I promise you, I'll be alright."
She reassures me. Not very well, she doesn't sound like she'll be alright. She sounds like the complete opposite.
"Please call me when you get to the hotel, love. I need to hear your voice again."
"I will, I don't know if I will make it even that far. The hotel is on the other side of town, I already feel like I will die at any minute."
I nod, but then realize she can't see me.
"It's gonna be okay, I have to go but call me as soon as you get to the hotel."
"Okay, Carlisle, I love you so much,"
and I feel the full impact of the burning again.

Q: An elegant way of initialising an empty String array in Java In the current code base that I'm working on I find myself needing to initialise many empty String[] of different lengths.
As of now, they are always initialised in the following way:
String[] a = new String[]{"","","","","","","","",""} // etc...

Although this is a simple one line solution, my personal preference is that it's rather ugly.
I was just wondering if anyone is aware of any existing API/Utility that offers a method where an array of empty strings can be initialised more elegantly.  I was thinking something along the lines of:
StringUtils.*initialiseEmptyArray*(int size);

Does anyone know of any such method?
I can always write my own if need be, just didn't want to re-invent the wheel if its already been done.
Thanks

A: You can use Arrays.fill method: -
Arrays.fill(a, "");

A: Using Arrays.fill:
String[] a = new String[9];
Arrays.fill(a, "");

I do not know what happened but I promise when I took this photo it was rotated 90 degrees to the right so just tilt your head and it will be fine.
This is a picture of me just after I received my Masters of Arts in Jewish Education (MAJE) yesterday! (It is pure coincidence that my glasses, the bow on the diploma and my hood match).
MY DAD, THE DIVA, BIRTHDAY BUDDY and many others were there to celebrate. I'm a lucky woman. This ceremony was different from the other graduations and ordinations because, as my family and beloved friends can attest, at my MAHL commencement and graduation both, I made activity books so that everyone could be entertained during a somewhat lengthy ceremony. This year, because of the popularity of the smart phone and iPad, I did not make such a book. I hear from the family that they were busy playing Scrabble (I'm so proud) and I live tweeted the ceremony. You can see that here.
Many have asked what is next on the horizon and the answer is, "I am pursuing a lot of different opportunities and hope that something will something will come to fruition soon." In other words, I am on the job hunt. If you know of a position that might be well-suited for me please let me know!
Thanks to MY DAD, THE DIVA, my family of birth and choice for all of their support this past year as I went back to school.

The rules and regulations regarding cryptocurrency are still in a state of uncertainty. This is due to the meteoric rise in the market capitalization and popularity of cryptocurrencies overall. Regulation is currently lagging behind the technical innovations and practices involved in the world of cryptocurrency. Governments and regulatory agencies are still struggling to clarify how existing rules apply to cryptocurrencies and are in the ongoing process of creating and clarifying rules regarding the complex world of cryptocurrency. New rules specifically for cryptocurrencies are also likely to be implemented in the future. Therefore, issues revolving around cryptocurrencies are in a state of ongoing change.
Of particular interest are Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Simply put, an ICO can be viewed in a similar manner as an IPO. Often, a newly created cryptocurrency begins with an ICO sale to gather capital. The volatile and risky nature of ICOs means that they attract more attention and scrutiny from regulatory agencies.
On May 21, 2018, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) announced a "coordinated series of enforcement actions by state and provincial securities regulators in the United Stated and Canada" in order to crack down on fraud in cryptocurrency related investment and fraudulent Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). This series of actions was dubbed "Operation Cryptosweep" and the goal was to eliminate cryptocurrency investment scams. This involves stopping misinformation and fraudulent practices, with a particular focus on Initial Coin Offerings. Regulators "identified hundreds of ICOs in the final stages of preparation before being launched to the public" and "some were determined to warrant further investigation". Even the major cryptocurrency exchanges have not been immune to investigation by state securities agencies. The Investor Protection Bureau of the Office of the New York State Attorney General has sent Information Demand Letters to Binance Limited, Bittrex, Inc., Coinbase, Inc., and Gemini Trust Company, among others. The actions taken by regional securities regulators against individual cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency exchanges include Cease & Desist Letters, Emergency Cease & Desist Orders, Information Demand Letters, and Investor Alerts.
Additional information regarding Operation Cryptosweep can be found here.

Der Medizinskandal Alte Apotheke Bottrop wurde im Herbst 2016 aufgedeckt. Zwei Angestellte hatten den Verdacht geäußert, in der Apotheke seien Krebsmedikamente (Zytostatika) falsch deklariert bzw. mit zu wenig Wirkstoff verkauft worden. In einem der "größten Medizinskandale in der bundesdeutschen Geschichte" habe der Apotheker Peter Stadtmann in 61.980 Fällen gegen das Arzneimittelgesetz verstoßen. Bei der Alten Apotheke handelte es sich um eine "Schwerpunkt-Apotheke", die behördliche Verantwortung in der Krebstherapie übernahm und dafür Medikamente bundesweit an Patienten abgab.

Im Juli 2018 wurde der Apotheker wegen Verstoßes gegen das Arzneimittelgesetz und Betruges zu 12 Jahren Freiheitsstrafe verurteilt.

Whistleblowing
Der Volkswirt Martin Porwoll und die pharmazeutisch-technische Assistentin Maria-Elisabeth Klein entschieden sich, mit ihren Erkenntnissen an die Öffentlichkeit zu gehen, da sie die Vernichtung wichtiger Beweismittel befürchteten und sie beim Zugehen auf ihren Arbeitgeber mit Repressalien hätten rechnen müssen, was von der ermittelnden Polizei bestätigt wurde. Porwoll erstattete Strafanzeige aufgrund des Verdachts, der Inhaber der Alten Apotheke habe  "abgelaufene Medikamente, insbesondere Zytostatika, umdeklariert sowie Medikamente verdünnt/gestreckt und dennoch zum Preis des Originals verkauft." Maria-Elisabeth Klein informierte die Kriminalpolizei über Missstände in der Apotheke und übergab zur weiteren Überprüfung ein zurückerhaltenes Medikament. Das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut bestätigte, dass die Infusion statt des deklarierten Wirkstoffs eine "reine Kochsalzlösung" enthalten habe.

Die beiden Angestellten der Alten Apotheke erhielten für ihr Whistleblowing zusammen mit einer dritten Person den Whistleblower-Preis der Vereinigung Deutscher Wissenschaftler. Die Preisvergabe erfolgte aufgrund der Kriterien "Inkaufnahme schwerer Nachteile" und "Orientierung am Gemeinwohl". Ihr Whistleblowing sei ein "wichtiger Beitrag zur Aufdeckung von strukturellen Missständen in einem besonders kostenintensiven Bereich unseres Gesundheitswesens mit einem Jahresumsatz von ca. 4 Milliarden Euro, der sich auf ca. 50 Hersteller- und Vertriebsunternehmen, ca. 1200 Onkologen und ca. 250 Zytostatika-Apotheken verteilt."

Patientenverbände kritisieren die mangelnde Überwachung von Zytostatika herstellenden Apotheken, da unangemeldete Kontrollen höchst selten stattfänden.

Folgen des Verdachts
Diese Erkenntnisse führten nach einer Durchsuchung der "Alten Apotheke" am 29. November 2016 zum Haftbefehl gegen den approbierten Betriebsinhaber Peter Stadtmann. Die Mitarbeiterin Birgit K. sagte später aus, die Verwaltung der Apotheke habe mit dem Wachstum des Unternehmens nicht schritthalten können und sei überfordert gewesen. Es habe ein "Missverhältnis zwischen dem tatsächlichen und dem verbuchten Warenbestand" gegeben; eine erste Inventur sei chaotisch verlaufen und habe wiederholt werden müssen. Der Inhaber Stadtmann habe sich gegen seine Mutter, die als "Herrscherin des Kellers" bekannt gewesen sei, den Warenein- und -ausgang kontrolliert und "vermutlich die wirtschaftliche Situation der Apotheke gekannt" habe, nicht immer durchsetzen können. Die Mitarbeiterin sprach weiterhin von hohen Rabatten und teuren Geschenken des Inhabers. Einen weiteren Teil des noch verbliebenen Vermögens soll die Familie des Apothekers abgeschöpft haben. Zudem sollen dem Recherchenetzwerk Correctiv Dokumente, Verträge und Vollmachten vorliegen, die den Eltern von Peter Stadtmann Zugriff auf weite Teile seines Vermögens ermöglichen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft konnte insgesamt 56 Millionen Euro sicherstellen, bei einem Jahresumsatz der Apotheke von zuletzt etwa 50 Millionen Euro.

Im November 2017 begann vor einer Wirtschaftsstrafkammer des Landgerichts Essen der Prozess gegen den Apotheker. Von Opferseite wurde demgegenüber eine Verhandlung vor dem Schwurgericht gefordert, da es um "Tötung von Menschen" und das Überschreiten der "Schwelle zur Heimtücke" gehe. Für die mutmaßlich 4600 geschädigten Patienten in sechs Bundesländern richtete die Stadt Bottrop eine Beratungsstelle ein, die von zwei Onkologen mit einem Budget von 15.000 Euro ein Jahr lang betrieben werden sollte.

Die Alte Apotheke wurde nach der Inhaftierung des Angeklagten von seiner Mutter geführt. Die Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt gegen die Eltern des Angeklagten wegen ungenehmigten Arzneimittelgroßhandels und Beihilfe zu den Taten ihres Sohnes. Die Stadt Bottrop informierte im Mai 2018, dass die Überprüfung der Betriebserlaubnis der Mutter noch laufe. Die Inhaberschaft der Alte Apotheke wechselte erneut. Sie wurde von der neuen Inhaberin in "City Apotheke" umbenannt. Die Zytostatikaherstellung wurde nicht wieder aufgenommen.

Am 6. Juli 2018 wurde Peter Stadtmann wegen Verstoßes gegen das Arzneimittelgesetz in knapp 14.500 Fällen und Betrugs in 59 Fällen zu zwölf Jahren Haft verurteilt. Außerdem wurde ein lebenslanges Berufsverbot verhängt. Die Verteidigung, die Freispruch beantragt hatte, legte Revision ein, ebenso die Staatsanwaltschaft und mehrere Nebenkläger mit der Rüge, dass keine Verurteilung wegen versuchter Körperverletzung bzw. versuchten Mordes ausgesprochen wurde. Erfolg hatte lediglich das Rechtsmittel des Angeklagten, allerdings auch nur insofern, als der Bundesgerichtshof die vom Landgericht auf 17 Millionen Euro festgesetzte Einziehung von Wertersatz auf 13,6 Millionen Euro herabsetzte.

Ermittlungen wegen Insolvenzstraftaten
Ende Januar 2022 wurde bekannt, dass die Staatsanwaltschaft Essen neue Ermittlungen gegen Peter Stadtmann wegen möglicher Insolvenzstraftaten aufgenommen hat. Aufgrund der Schadensersatzforderung der Krankenkassen in Millionenhöhe musste er Insolvenz anmelden. Dabei sollen Vermögenswerte auf die Mutter übertragen worden sein, um sie der Insolvenzmasse zu entziehen. In Betracht kommt daher ein Bankrott nach  StGB.

## Need help?

* Search / Ask question on [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mockito)
* Go to the [mockito mailing-list](https://groups.google.com/group/mockito) (moderated)
* Open a ticket in GitHub [issue tracker](https://github.com/mockito/mockito/issues)

## How to develop Mockito?

To build locally:

     ./gradlew build

To develop in IntelliJ IDEA you can use built-in Gradle import wizard in IDEA. Alternatively generate the importable
IDEA metadata files using:

     ./gradlew idea

Then, _open_ the generated *.ipr file in IDEA.

## How to release new version?

1. Every change on the main development branch is released as -SNAPSHOT version to Sonatype snapshot repo
   at https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/mockito/mockito-core.
2. In order to release a non-snapshot version to Maven Central push an annotated tag, for example:

```
git tag -a -m "Release 3.4.5" v3.4.5
git push origin v3.4.5
```

3. At the moment, you **may not create releases from GitHub Web UI**. Doing so will make the CI build fail because the
   CI creates the changelog and posts to GitHub releases. We'll support this in the future.

Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh are unique among the most widely loved storybook characters of all time. They were actually real.
Until I previewed the movie Goodbye Christopher Robin, I did not know that the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by A.A. Milne were based on a real person. And the assortment of animals such as Piglet, Eyore, Tigger, Owl, and friends, were the stuffed animals of Christopher Robin in real life.
These days, fame has pulled the childhood out from under many young actors. But in the early 1920's in the idyllic English countryside, it would seem that Christopher Robin should have been safe from reality stardom. However, his father's great success with the books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1926) took the adventures of Christopher Robin into the public eye—a place the young boy would rather have not gone. Thus, there were ramifications.
The movie itself is interesting with elements both heartwarming and heartbreaking. In this age of reality, it is probably time for us all to know about the true inner lives of Winnie-the-Pooh and friends: writer A.A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson), his wife Daphne (Margot Robbie), and their son, Christopher Robin (Will Tilston & Alex Lawther), and the nanny, Olive (Kelly Macdonald).
Despite the cozy fantasy world of Christopher Robin that our children and we indulged in, his parents were rather lousy. Thankfully he had a nanny who loved him and mostly took care of him.
Milne's suffered PTSD from his time serving in World War I, although such things were not diagnosed back then. It was while taking breaks from his writing that Milne played with his son in the woods and came up with the idea to write about Winnie-the-Pooh, which became the most successful children's series in the world at that time.
If you are the type who likes to know the story behind the story, you will likely enjoy this movie. I did and so did my now-grown daughter to whom I once read the adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Goodbye Christopher Robin is rated PG and opens in theaters Friday, October 13.

Kerry's success has home folks dumbfounded

condemmed by faint praise
"both sides of the political aisle are scratching their heads over Kerry's phenomenal success in primaries and caucuses across the nation. ??They don't know John Kerry like we know John Kerry,''
??He's like vanilla toast. There's nothing exciting about him.''
"some Massachusetts residents are surprised, even dumbfounded, that Kerry is well down the road toward becoming the Democratic Party's national standard-bearer"
"Arline Isaacson of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus acknowledges that Kerry does have a reputation for waffling, on everything from Iraq to gay marriage."
"Kerry has long lived with another reputation: for being a snob. Born into wealth and privilege, Kerry has appeared to many as stiff around regular folks and more at home with the likes of his neighbors in Louisburg Square, the toniest section of Beacon Hill."
SuperTool
We gotta solve the Bush problem first. If there is a problem with Kerry we'll solve it later.
I think the very fact that he is a Democrat means that the Congress won't allow him to make as many blunders as Bush has made. We need to restore an effective system of checks and balances, and the only way to do it at this time is to have split government.
Why is everyone so surprised? This was the best the Democratic Party can do. Unfortunately, we (Democrats) won't have a real shot at the White House until 2008 when some of the centrists enter the fray.

Those Southerners joined with the McCarthyists from Lincoln's party in the North, and eventually the "neoconservative" (actually new-age Democratic Fascist) was born, based on a mutual hatred of both blacks and communists.
Point is, Dari's profile says he's a Yankee, and he's always full of sh!t. He's no Democrat and never was. I can't believe anyone actually fell for his weak troll.

Q: How to use webpack in Javascript to hide api key I'm working on a simple javascript project (still learning) that requires an API.
Among the requirements there is the use of webpack to hide the api key, but as far as I know it is not possible to hide the key from a front end application without a back end (which i cannot use it yet) ... am I missing something ?? Do I have to add some Node.js code??

A: Within your webpack config, in the plugins part add this:
// webpack.config.js
plugins: [
  ....
  new webpack.DefinePlugin({
    "process.env": {
      API_KEY: JSON.stringify(process.env.API_KEY),
    },
  }),
]

create a .env file, where you would add something like this:
// .env
API_KEY="thevalueOfTheAPIKey"

For the sake of security, your .env file must be added to the .gitignore file, you should also create a .env.sample file, that others can use, the whole essence of the .env.sample is to help others know how to recreate the .env file locally, so for something like what we have above you would have:
// .env.sample
API_KEY=""

Within your project, whereever you would be using the environment variable e.g.
// index.js
require("dotenv").config();

const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY;

Idea was first proposed by Alfred Lothar Wegener (1 November 1880 – November 1930), a German scientist, who's idea of Continental Drift was controversial and wasn't widely-accepted. His hypothesis that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth (German (de): Kontinentalverschiebung) went largely ignored. However, it became widely accepted in the 1950s, when several discoveries proved right of Alfred's theory, including palaeomagnetism.
Fossil evidence - Fossils of extinct animals have been found in specific places on continents.
Seafloor spreading (More: http://wiki.kidzsearch.com/wiki/Seafloor_spreading) - New crust is forming at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are moving away from each other... Scientist Harry Hammond Hess, an American geologist (and former Navy officer), discovered Seafloor Spreading.
Magnetic reversals (More: http://kids.britannica.com/comptons/art-194471/Rising-magma-assumes-the-polarity-of-Earths-geomagnetic-field-before) - Minerals in rocks align to the magnetic field of the earth. As the seafloor spreads, we see the history of the reversal of the magnetic fields.
Seafloor Spreading is the process when new oceanic lithosphere forms due to the rising and solidifying of magma. As tectonic plates move away from each other, new crust (magma, then solidified) fills in the gap between the moving sea floors. This new crust forms underwater mountain systems called mid-ocean ridges. The new crust pushes away the older crust, thus, the closer to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger the crust is.
Magnetic Reversals are defined as: "A change in the Earth's magnetic field (the North Pole --> South Pole, and vice versa)".

35 years after, survivors of Sabra, Shatila massacre recall the horror
by Anadolu Agency
BIRWA Sep 16, 2017 - 12:00 am GMT+3
Amal al-Qirmi, 50, one of the survivors of the massacres, talks to Anadolu Agency in Lebanon on September 16, 2017.
by Anadolu Agency Sep 16, 2017 12:00 am
Although 35 years have passed since the horrific massacre in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camp, those who survived it cannot forget the ghastly scenes they witnessed there.
Shortly after Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, right-wing Lebanese groups allied with the invaders stormed the camp, killing its inhabitants, raping mothers in front of their families and mutilating pregnant women.
When the incident -- which went on for three days from Sept. 15 to 18 -- was over, some 3,000 Palestinians and Lebanese, mostly Shia, had been murdered.
The night before the massacre, Israel's then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon had ordered that the camp be surrounded in advance of the assault, effectively paving the way for one of the bloodiest massacres in modern history.
Anadolu Agency visited the camp this week to hear the stories of some of the survivors who remained there.
Amal al-Qirmi, 50, was only 15 years old when she and her family fled their home in one of the sprawling camp's eastern districts before the arrival of troops from Saad Haddad's notorious militia.
A former major in the Lebanese army, Haddad had commanded a 400-man military unit in southern Lebanon before breaking with the army and allying with Israel to form a militia known as the South Lebanon Army (SLA), which opposed the Palestinian presence in Lebanon.
Alongside Haddad's SLA, the Lebanese Phalanges Party, a Lebanese right-wing Christian party, also played a major role in the massacre, according to al-Qirmi.
"They tricked us," she recalled sorrowfully. "They told us through loudspeakers that whoever left their homes would be allowed to return to their ancestral homes in Palestine."
"Camp residents believed the lies told by the Israelis and their Lebanese agents," she said. "When residents did what they were told, they were attacked and butchered in ways previously unimaginable."
Mohamed al-Hasanein, 45, was just 10 years old when he saw an Israeli soldier and two Lebanese men cutting the fetus from a pregnant woman before hanging it on the wall of a house.
"It was a miracle that some of us escaped with our lives," he said. "After the murderers and Zionists left, the smell of death permeated the camp for months."
Said al-Qassim, 67, was in his thirties when he and a group of no more than 20 young men attempted to defend the camp with a handful of light weapons.
"I will not forgive the Arabs [complicit in the massacre] before the Zionists," he said. "The young militiamen took drugs and pills… before attacking us -- killing us -- with a ferocity unseen in history."
Al-Qassim also held Lebanon's Shia Amal movement, headed at the time by current Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, partly responsible for the atrocity.
"Amal helped the Zionists enter the camp," he said. "Due to ongoing Sunni-Shia tension in the region at the time, they decided to move against us."
Many victims later filed lawsuits against Israel. But according to Said al-Amri, a 55-year-old survivor, most of these plaintiffs have since been granted asylum in Europe -- on condition that they drop their claims against Israel.
"Only a small handful of those who witnessed the carnage first-hand are still in the camp," he lamented.
Roughly one square kilometer in size, the Sabra and Shatila camp is located in West Beirut. One of 12 Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, its current population now stands at some 12,000 people.

Q: How do I call a component's method from another component if they're in different modules? I have a MenuComponent inside a module called menu and I want to call  the getMenu(path:string) method of this component in the AppComponent which is in another module.
This is my MenuComponent:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {
TreeComponent,
TreeNode,
} from 'angular-tree-component';
import { MenuService } from '../../menu.service';

@Component({
selector: 'menu',
templateUrl: './menu.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./menu.component.css']
})
export class MenuComponent {

constructor(private menuService: MenuService) { }

nodes:any;

 getMenu(path:string): void {
   this.menuService.getData(path).subscribe(data => {
         // Read the result field from the JSON response.

         let newValue = JSON.stringify(data).replace('{"Node":', '[');
         newValue = newValue.substring(0,newValue.length - 1);
         newValue+="]";
        const menu=JSON.parse(newValue);
         this.nodes = menu;
      });

 }

}

A: Import the module, and call the method - static and instance versions shown below... in your case it is an instance method, so the second example should work.
import { MenuComponent } from './menu';

// Static
MenuComponent.getMenu('...');

// or Instance
const menu = new MenuCompnent(myMenuService);
menu.getMenu('...');

You'll need to inject a menu service. You can import the module and construct one of those in the same way.
Check out the Angular component interaction docs to see how to do this "The Angular Way". There are multiple neat patterns for interacting between two components.


I am a big proponent of mentorship, actively participating in my own development and giving back to my chosen profession. There are many reasons to find a mentor but you first have to decide if you want one.
Do I need a mentor? I'm sure that you could navigate the terrain on your own, but as the brilliant person that you are, why would you? You're in a profession that's purpose is to holistically develop others, including you. Although it hasn't been my experience, you can be successful without finding a mentor, but I, with 13 years of professional experience, and having navigated 5 distinct institutions, would not recommend it. There are many amazing, brilliant, authentic, and altruistic individuals in this field. Find a mentor and reach out to them! Elevate your success and ask someone to mentor you.
Google the word "leadership" and you'll receive over 3 million unique definitions. Searching the term "mentorship" will produce just as many results. While mentoring is unique and individualized, I'd like to share some personal insights gained through being a mentor and mentee. I've outlined my words of wisdom into four pockets: Defining, Finding, Selecting, and Building.
A mentor can be anyone you trust and from whom you can seek council. One of the biggest misconceptions is that your mentor needs to be from the field of higher education. This is untrue. Mentors can be siblings, friends, family members, colleagues, faculty, and anyone who you truly believe and wants to invest in you and see you prosper. Mentors are individuals who genuinely want the best for you. There isn't a Likert scale or a perfect mentor/mentee assessment tool to perfectly pair you up, so you have to jump in, with two feet, to get started. As the mentee, you need to decide who you want as a mentor and what you want from them. Sometimes you may want a mentor to share in your accomplishments, to say "GREAT JOB" and lift your spirits. Other times you may want a mentor to tell you that you handled a situation inappropriately and that your perspective has some gaps. In addition, mentors can play various roles in your professional development to help guide us through our passions and determine how to best invest our time.
Personally, I have many mentors within and outside the field of higher education. For me, diversity isn't just "lip service" or something I encourage my students to do. Diversity is something I implore and believe is crucial to my development as a person and as a professional. I remain curious in all aspects of my life and intentionally surround myself with people of varying beliefs, education, upbringing, specialties, and philosophies. From one professional to another, I encourage you to surround yourself with people who do not see the world and the field of higher education the same way that you do. Spend time with people who disagree and challenge your way of thinking. These individuals have a special role in your development as they will question and challenge your default responses from your filtered, individualized lens.
Keep in mind that your supervisor does not have to be your mentor! Don't put this expectation on your supervisor. Your supervisor may want to become your mentor, but please, know they may not. If you happen to come across a supervisor who becomes your mentor, make sure to find a mentor outside of your department or field. At some point in time, your philosophical views may differ from those of your supervisor and you'll need a neutral perspective to assist as you address concerns and strategically move forward. Your supervisor may indirectly mentor you as they will hopefully spend time getting to know you and have a decent understanding of your future aspirations. However, this isn't always the case. Your supervisor may have others they supervise or may take a step back from mentorship, as they need to prioritize other responsibilities (e.g. research, publication, reorganization, strategic planning).
Find a mentor who enjoys listening, because getting to know you and understanding what drives you is crucial! Mentors/mentees are special and unique! Be authentic about everything! Be honest about who you are and your aspirations. It's equally imperative to allow your mentor to speak. After you've shared, get ready to listen. There's a time in the conversation during which you'll need to hush up and absorb. Don't search and select a mentor only to then talk the entire time you're together. The mentor/mentee relationship is "give and take" and, at some point, you the mentee will need to listen. It has to be a conversation. Remember, you selected a mentor and want to learn. An excellent mentor will listen to you and share advice, perspectives, and options to hep work through your concerns. A mentor will not and should not make decisions for you! A mentor provides necessary tools, ideas, perspective, and information to assist you in making your own decisions. "Adulting" is hard, but this will be empowering and you'll be better for it! This is the point of mentoring and the importance of finding an excellent mentor.
Just as important as selecting a mentor is building the relationship with them. This relationship needs to be organic! However, there are formalized mentor/mentee relationships that exist. There are opportunities where you are assigned to an individual who meets the criteria you indicated during the application process. Personally, I have gained a great deal by being formally mentored through NASPA's Aspiring Vice Presidents Alice Manicur, Women in Higher Education Candid Conversations and Escaleras for Latinx Professionals. Although these relationships were formalized, and not necessarily organic, there was a level of interest and support as these individuals applied to be mentors and were chosen to share their wisdom. Like any relationship, formal or informal, they must be cultivated and developed. If you want your mentor to remain your mentor, then you need to contact them regularly, value them, and build the relationship. Mentors need to know what you want, so tell them. Lastly, it's important to note that mentors do not need to serve as mentors for the rest of their lifetime. Sometimes mentors assist during a specific time of your life, such as the beginning of a new job or for a full season of your life as you navigate competing demands such as going back to school and starting a family. You need to decide the type of mentorship that you want and build it.
Mentorship is a privilege and I encourage you to seek out a mentor in our profession. Take the time to define what mentorship looks like for you. Find a mentor. Cultivate that relationship. Lastly, become a mentor and nurture someone else. Good luck on your search and continue to be open to all the possibilities of this beautiful and impactful profession.

NHL Playoffs Series Outlook: Carolina Hurricanes vs. Boston Bruins
August 10, 2020 August 10, 2020 Dom Lunardo
Carolina vs. Boston…here we go again. Last spring, the Carolina Hurricanes campaign came to an end when they were swept (4-0) at the hands of the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals. Fast-forward 15 months and the two teams are scheduled to lock horns, once again, in the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs in what promises to be a scintillating encounter. So just what can we expect this time around between two evenly-matched, well-coached teams? Let's read on and find out.
Behind the Bench:
When it comes to coaching, few NHL bench bosses are more revered league-wide than both Bruce Cassidy of the Bruins and Rod Brind´Amour of the Hurricanes. Let's start with Cassidy.
Bruce Cassidy, Boston Bruins
For the second time during his tenure as Bruins coach, Cassidy has been nominated for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year. The 2019/20 pandemic-shortened campaign saw the Bruins win the Presidents' Trophy amassing 100 points to go along with a 44-14-12 record through 70 games. This was quite the impressive season, wouldn't you say?
Throughout his time in Boston, Cassidy has been praised for his ability to push "all the right buttons at the right time", and for his propensity to play long, dominant stretches of hockey. Last year, he and the Bruins came to within a game of hoisting Lord Stanley's mug, losing to the eventual winners, St. Louis Blues in heart-wrenching fashion. Cassidy's style revolves around effective communication, who can beat the opposition with speed, skill, physicality, and smarts. He and the Bruins will certainly be looking for redemption this time around.
Rod Brind'Amour, Carolina Hurricanes
Rod Brind'Amour has been an absolute revelation for the Hurricanes. Last season, in his first as head coach, he guided the young Hurricanes to the Eastern Conference Finals. This year, after making quick work of the New York Rangers, the Canes find themselves in the thick of the playoff picture once again.
As a coach, Brind'Amour is a defensive mastermind who's adapted a strong, aggressive, and in your face style-of-play. His teams are hard-working, disciplined, and actually enjoy playing defense. Players would go through a wall for Brind'Amour and are truly buying into his system, which is excellent news for Canes fans. The ongoing chess match between Cassidy and Brind'Amour is certainly something to keep your eye as a major focal point in this series.
At Forward:
The Bruins enter this series owning one of the most potent offenses in the National Hockey League led in large part by their top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak. In addition, the B's also have players such as Jake DeBrusk, Charlie Coyle, Sean Kuraly, and Ondrej Kase who will be relied upon for secondary scoring throughout the postseason. The Bruins are one of those teams who can score goals almost at will, and they have the depth to keep them in games and progress from one series o the next. They also receive tons of offense from their blue-line primarily in the form of Torey Krug and Charlie McAvoy. It's all systems go in Beantown when it comes to offensive punch and fortitude.
In Carolina, the Hurricanes are seeing one of their very own blossom into a bonafide superstar right before their very eyes.
That superstar is Finnish-born centerman, Sebastian Aho. After tallying 38 goals during the regular season, Aho scored three goals and eight points during the Canes' three-game sweep of the Rangers during the play-in round. Aho's partner in crime? None other than Russian-born winger, Andrei Svechnikov who has also taken his game to new heights this season. The Canes will rely heavily on their incredible duo along with Jordan Staal and company all series long if they are to prevail at the B's.
On Defense:
Although the Bruins have a formidable blue-line that's more than capable of dominating and taking over a series, the proverbial "edge" on defense goes to the Hurricanes. Led by Jaccob Savin, who's widely regarded as one of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL, the Canes have a long list of players on defense each capable of stepping into the lineup and slowing down the opposition. The Canes d-core is quick, intelligent, offensive-minded, hard-working, and an absolute handful for oncoming forwards.
The "bread and butter" of the Canes revolves around their defensive play which was on full display as they shut down Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejed during the qualification round. Look for the Canes defense core to play a major factor as this series progresses.
Throughout the course of NHL history, goaltending has always remained a key factor in any playoff series. I do not expect any of that to change when the puck drops between the Bruins and Hurricanes.
As much as I like Petr Mrazek (and James Reimer) on the Carolina side, Tuukka Rask takes the cake as the best goaltender in the series by a fairly significant margin.
Rask has once again enjoyed yet another excellent campaign with 41 wins, a 2.12 goals-against-average, and a .929 save percentage, which is simply remarkable to say the least. He's experienced, well-rested, not afraid of the spotlight, and will be raring to go when the puck drops this evening. As always, Rask will once again be relied upon to carry the load in the playoffs backstopping the killer B's.
Series Prediction:
After winning the President's Trophy, the Bruins have stumbled out of the gate and look anything but the juggernaut team they were considered earlier in the season. With that being said, they're still a very well-balanced team with the ability to break a game wide open in the blink of an eye. However, if my vote counts for anything, I'm taking the Hurricanes in 6 games. This decision comes in large part to the Canes' defensive acumen, growth as a team, and the dynamic 1-2 punch of Aho and Svechnikov. Time will tell if my prediction olds firm. In the meantime, have at it, hockey fans!
