Blu Tuesday: Bumblebee and More
By Jason Zingale on	 April 2, 2019 Entertainment
Every Tuesday, I review the newest Blu-ray and 4K releases and let you know whether they're worth buying, renting or skipping, along with a breakdown of the included extras. If you see something you like, click on the cover art or link to purchase it from Amazon, and be sure to share each week's column on social media with your friends.
Pick of the Week: "Bumblebee"
After more than a decade of subpar "Transformers" movies that have progressively gotten worse under the direction of Michael Bay, leave it to Laika CEO Travis Knight (making his live-action directorial debut) to deliver the tune-up that the franchise desperately needed. Though "Bumblebee" is by no means perfect, it does a good job of balancing the robot mayhem – the opening sequence is pure fan service – with the more emotional beats surrounding the relationship between Hailee Steinfeld's Charlie and the titular Autobot, which has shades of "The Iron Giant" and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial." The film also isn't bogged down by a bunch of senseless mythology, and that allows Knight to keep things relatively uncomplicated, resulting in a predictable but fun addition to the "Transformers" series that is hopefully more reboot than prequel.
Extras include a behind-the-scenes look at making the movie, deleted scenes and more. FINAL VERDICT: RENT
Also Out This Week:
"Vice" — Adam McKay's follow-up to his 2015 financial crisis drama, "The Big Short," isn't nearly as funny as you might have hoped, but it's still a relatively engaging biopic about former vice president Dick Cheney that boasts a number of excellent performances. With that said, the movie is a bit of a mess – especially in the first 30 minutes – as it tries too hard to replicate the stylistic flourishes that made "The Big Short" such a unique experience. Fortunately, Christian Bale is so good as Cheney that even when McKay is testing the audience's patience, it's hard to look away. Amy Adams and Steve Carrell also turn in great work as Lynne Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, respectively, but "Vice" is ultimately a showcase for Bale's talents and commitment to his craft, and as usual, the actor doesn't disappoint. Extras include a making-of featurette, deleted scenes and more. FINAL VERDICT: RENT
"The Mule" — Clint Eastwood has been pretty hit-and-miss behind the camera in recent years, but on the heels of his disastrous real-life drama, "The 15:17 to Paris," it's nice to see that the veteran filmmaker hasn't completely lost his touch. Though "The Mule," which is also inspired by true events, is plagued with the same tonal issues as 2008's "Gran Torino" (namely, exploiting Eastwood's overtly racist war veteran for laughs), it's a pretty good story that keeps you engaged throughout its two-hour runtime. The problem is that there isn't a whole lot to the movie beyond its initial premise. Eastwood delivers a solid performance as the 90-year-old horticulturist turned drug mule, but it's yet another forgettable entry in an otherwise memorable career. Extras include a making-of featurette and a music video. FINAL VERDICT: RENT

FIFA Case Could Strengthen Justice Dept.'s Global Power
United States Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch had announced the charges against FIFA officials last week.CreditCreditJustin Lane/European Pressphoto Agency
By Peter J. Henning
Teddy Roosevelt was fond of the West African proverb to "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." The Justice Department is wielding one of its biggest sticks — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as RICO — to go after bribery and kickbacks that have been rife in international soccer for decades.
RICO has been a popular tool for prosecutors to attack the mob, corporate fraud and corrupt politicians in the United States. Now, the latest Justice Department case will test whether the law can be applied to misconduct by foreigners that largely takes place outside the United States.
The Justice Department certainly has a challenge on its hands with the latest case. It filed charges — including money laundering and wire fraud — against 14 defendants, most of whom are not United States citizens, over allegations of accepting bribes related to various soccer competitions sponsored by FIFA and its regional confederations. To prove a RICO case, prosecutors must show that those alleged crimes were part of a broader "pattern of racketeering activity" rather than just separate acts committed by different defendants.
The Justice Department's indictment outlines payments that date back to 1991, a time frame that is usually far outside the statute of limitations for corruption offenses (usually five years in such cases). But RICO can be a magic bullet to avoid that impediment by allowing federal prosecutors to file charges for operating an "enterprise" through the pattern of illegal acts stretching back decades, as long as one of them occurred in the last 10 years. That means allegations of bribes paid in the 1990s — such as payments made by Nike in the 1990s to sponsor the Brazilian World Cup team that were later said to be used to pay bribes and kickbacks — have been included in the case.
Much of the allegations outlined in the indictment, which lists 47 counts and runs 161 pages, took place outside the United States.
Prosecutors say bribery occurred for a wide range of events. They include FIFA's vote in 2004 to select which country would host the 2010 World Cup and the award of broadcast rights to competitions like the Copa do Brasil, which involves that country's top clubs. That instance is the basis for charging violations of the wire fraud statute, in particular the right of honest services owed to FIFA and other soccer confederations where the defendants were officers. According to the indictment, a major aspect of the corruption involved transferring funds derived from the illicit payments through banks in the United States. That is the basis for the money laundering counts.
Charges that involve money laundering or wire fraud have to be based on discrete acts. Therefore, in most cases, only those directly involved can be charged. The RICO count gives the Justice Department the firepower to bring all the defendants together in a single case by asserting that there was a pattern of rampant corruption tying the defendants together into a larger scheme. The case would not be nearly as compelling if only one person here and one person there was indicted.
The added ammunition of the RICO charge, in essence, accuses FIFA and the regional confederation of being turned into a criminal enterprise by the defendants. And it made for great press, letting the head of the criminal division at the Internal Revenue Service, Richard Weber, to proclaim that this amounted to the "World Cup of Fraud."
Strained metaphors aside, a crucial issue is whether the RICO statute can be applied to allegations of conduct largely occurring outside the United States. The Supreme Court made it more difficult to use American laws to pursue overseas misconduct in 2010 in Morrison v. National Australia Bank. The case involved application of the securities fraud statute to conduct by a foreign company impacting shareholders who bought their shares outside the American stock markets. The court said that a United States law should be presumed not to apply to conduct that takes place abroad unless Congress made its intention clear that the law should reach foreign violations.
Using the opinion in the Morrison case, most lower courts found that RICO does not apply to conduct that primarily takes place outside the United States. But an important decision in 2014 by the United State Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan found that some RICO claims can be pursued as long as the underlying crime used to establish the pattern of racketeering activity is one that reflects a desire in Congress to reach foreign violations. That court ruling is crucial in the FIFA corruption prosecution because the charges were filed in Brooklyn, which falls under the jurisdiction of that appellate court.
In European Community v. RJR Nabisco, the appeals court permitted a civil RICO claim against tobacco companies to proceed. That case related to a complex money laundering scheme involving the proceeds of illegal narcotics sold in Europe by Colombian and Russian criminal organizations that were used to purchase cigarettes.
The court said that "RICO applies extraterritorially if, and only if, liability or guilt could attach to extraterritorial conduct under the relevant RICO predicate." This means that a crime like money laundering can be charged for conduct outside the United States if one part of the transaction went through a bank in this country. And, as an extension, RICO can then be used when that is the basis for proving the pattern of racketeering activity.
The decision in the European Community vs. RJR Nabisco case was quite contentious within the Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In April, five active judges on the court dissented from the denial of a request for the full court to review the case, known as an en banc hearing. That is a rare step in this circuit, which on average grants about one such rehearing a year.
The dissenting judges argued that the decision extends RICO too far. They stated that that such claims sidestep the Supreme Court's restrictive approach in the Morrison decision, which limits application of United States laws to foreign conduct. By including money laundering charges as one of the foundations for the pattern of racketeering activity related to the FIFA bribery, the Justice Department may apply RICO to conduct that does not have significant contacts with the United States.
The FIFA defendants are sure to challenge the case by arguing that the RICO statute should not be used to prosecute allegations of conduct that only took place abroad. The Justice Department will counter that the decision in the European Community vs. RJR Nabisco case allows it the leeway to use RICO for actions that might not otherwise be subject to prosecution in the United States. If the government can avoid having the charges dismissed, then this case could balloon into even more corruption charges against those inside and outside FIFA.
The money laundering statute is a powerful tool because any transaction through a bank in the United States involving the proceeds of a number of crimes, including broad provisions like the mail and wire fraud laws, can be the basis for bringing a charge. If RICO can be added to a case involving multiple defendants to claim that they engaged in a pattern of misconduct, then the Justice Department will indeed have a very big stick to attack corruption almost anywhere.
Correction: June 3, 2015
An earlier version of this article misstated the year that Nike began making payments to sponsor the Brazilian World Cup team. The payments started in 1997, not 1994. Nike has not been accused of wrongdoing in the FIFA case.

Nicole Kidman's Daughter Wouldn't Accept Her Mother's Emmy, Because She Wants To Earn One Of Her Own
Lea van der Merwe
Last year, actress Nicole Kidman took home two Emmy Awards for her part in Pretty Little Liars: one for her acting in the show, and one for her role as a producer. On Tuesday night, Kidman made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and shared with the television personality what her daughters' reaction was.
As reported by ET Online, in her acceptance speech in September of 2017, Kidman thanked her husband -- singer Keith Urban -- and the couple's children, daughters Sunday and Faith.
"I also am a mother and wife. I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith, and my darling Keith [Urban], who I ask to help me pursue this artistic path and they have to sacrifice so much for it. So this is yours. I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to go, every time my mama didn't put me to bed, it's because of this! I got something!"
The actress is understandably proud of her daughter's attitude, not wanting to take any hand-me-down awards but rather work hard enough that she can one day say that she earned her own. And she is already dipping her toes into the acting pool, despite her tender age. Both Sunday and Faith have been given cameos in the second season of Pretty Little Liars, and Kidman's co-star Zoe Kravitz has been very impressed by both of their performances -- that she has seen so far -- on set.
"Yeah, they're around a lot and I sometimes can't tell when they're actually in a scene or just hanging out," she told ET Online. "But they're so sweet and really really smart. You can tell they were raised by Nicole Kidman."


It seems like Elle Fanning took her role as a model in Neon Demon very seriously. And just like any good model, she's a total chameleon when it comes to photoshoots. Take her new cover of Schön Magazine, for example. Elle fronts the glossy in a '70s-inspired look that renders her nearly unrecognizable. She posted it to Instagram with the caption, "Thank you SCHÖN! and the coolest lady I know, @floriasigismondi for asking me to be on your groovy cover! More images to come."
While we're used to cute jumpsuits and pin-straight hair from Elle, this cover is a totally new style direction for the actress.
From the voluminous waves to the bold '70s-inspired jumpsuit with two different glittery-patterned legs, she experimented with a look we've never seen before. Of course, we love Elle in pretty much anything, but you have to admit: this new style is killer.


Our midweek post previews one of our new GWI Infographics by looking at the profile and behaviors of Google+ users.
Overall, the numbers with an account on the service continue to rise; having reached 50% in 2013, Google+ membership has climbed again in 2014 to hit 54%. In terms of active usage – those who say they have contributed to or used the site within the last month – the figure now stands at 1 in 5.
But this headline total masks some very strong differences by region and country. Generally speaking, it is in fast-growth markets where online populations are the most likely to be actively using the service each month – with Indonesia (36%) and India (35%) topping the list of GWI's 32 markets. Compare that to places like the UK (12%) or USA (15%) and the variations in uptake are plain to see.
It's also worth recognizing that the Google+ audience is highly active on other social platforms too. With nearly three quarters being regular users of Facebook and almost half using Twitter each month, it's clear that today's internet users are adopting a distinctly multi-service approach to their social behaviors.


Tierra Grande is a subdivision within Valencia and Socorro County, New Mexico. As part of your purchase of this lot, you will buy into 14,000 acres of permanent open space, conserved and maintained by the Tierra Grande Improvement Association. The area also borders the Manzano Mountains, which has many trails for hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. The area is known for the beauty of its night sky, which has been declared by New Mexico as one of the state's Most Endangered Cultural Resources.
Belen is only 17 minutes away from Tierra Grande and is geographically at the center of New Mexico. There is a commuter railroad to Albuquerque and Santa Fe in Belen and several festivals throughout the year. The total population is around 7,000. Property values in Belen and the surrounding area are likely to see a boost due to the upcoming construction of a Facebook data center in Los Lunas (15 minutes outside of Belen and 30 minutes from Tierra Grande). In addition, Los Lunas was recently awarded a federal grant to build water infrastructure out to its new BNSF Central Rail Park. The construction of the rail park and its attendant infrastructure should bring lots of jobs to the area.
Roads: All the roads in the area are recorded, with legal access to the rest of the county.
Annual taxes are $64.04. Taxes have been paid through 2018 and no back taxes are owed.
Can I build a home on the lot? Yes, you can build on this lot. Please go to the Socorro County building department for more information on how to obtain a building permit. Please note that mobile and manufactured homes are not allowed on the lot.


This is an ordinary ladder, broken.
...Broken ladder - an accident - you no longer here.
new heights, conquering new worlds, making a difference.
Would those you left behind still flourish? Would they prosper? Marry well?
Have kids? And for you, have your lifetime goals been attained?
What are the true secrets of the universe?
"Are you satisfied with what you have done about it?"
You can read Quantum Field Psychology (QFP) now and begin to apply these incredible concepts to your life.
In the most comprehensive theory of psychology ever created, QFP integrates science and spirituality, East and West, reason and intuition.
"Dr. Dalrymple, in his fascinating book, Quantum Field Psychology, The Thoton Particle Theory, raises the field of psychology to a new plane - one where hard science resides! By deconstructing emotions in the systematic, logical language of physics - he reveals emotions as measurable and tangible - a truly amazing scientific breakthrough."
It makes sense out of nonsense for a lost world, giving new faith to the down-trodden and discouraged, hope to the hopeless, and light to darkness.
It can mean the difference between a lifetime of successes...or failure.
It can be mighty difficult for your family, friends and co-workers to remember you as the guy who never really accomplished much, who left behind a long...but second string of efforts that never got off the ground.
Or perhaps they'll remember a series of successes and failures, by a guy who never lived up to his true potential. It doesn't have to be this way, a life that could have been so much more.
Why not do for them what only you can do, by being everything you can be?
-- Children denied a chance for college.
-- A house lost to the mortgage company.
-- Regular unpaid monthly accounts.
-- and the list doesn't stop there !
Wouldn't it be comforting to your family if you created successes and possibilities vastly beyond where you are today, giving them a level of security that would avoid all these problems?
When you read this book, you will study the laws of mind, what makes you really tick. You will learn how your thoughts and emotions rule your life, how you create your life and how you can recreate it.
Scientifically. With precision and power. With wisdom and insight.
It will take you deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of mind, perhaps to places where you have never been before.
Most astounding of all, you will learn the mathematics and physics of the mind. The laws of nature that underlie mental functions. Laws understood by almost no one...UNTIL NOW.
"Another magnificent and awesome book by the inventor of Quantum Field Psychology, Dr. Dalrymple, who has brilliantly used various kinds of mathematics in order to formulate and expound the structure of his theory. He has managed to describe and illustrate his theory in a way that is clear and intelligible. For anyone who is seeking to use math to describe the complicated and emotional relationships among all human beings, I certainly recommend this book."
You can use these incredible laws of the mind in many ways. You can program yourself to make more money. To use your mind more intelligently, more efficiently, to make better judgements, to understand people and yourself better.
To create better relationships. To love yourself and others with an irresistible magic.
We cannot guarantee your success in anything, only you can...but by studying these scientific secrets of the mind, you are discovering the keys to the kingdom.
Here is another thing that is important to you. You can study all of these incredible insights in private, with no one knowing what you are doing. You can approach business, friendships, new acquaintances, new opportunities with a fresh zeal and power that can sweep away your competition.
It is up to you, only you can do it. And knowing how the mind, emotions and behavior truly work can give you an edge.
Now -- here is an added feature.
You have a need in life, we all do, to create the circumstances of your life constantly, daily, even all day long. Things you want to make happen. People you want to meet. Events you want to experience. Things you want to learn. Benefits you want to have.
Here is the incredible truth - no one on earth can guarantee you will have these things - except you. Our job is to show you how to use your mind, emotions and behavior to maximize your possibilities, your chances of success, your level of serendipity - making the good things happen, whether foreseen or not.
You have to make it happen. But we can show you how.
This is just one of the many features of your Quantum Field Psychology book that make it so valuable - invaluable, really. It can help build back that ladder of success for yourself and your family, even after you are gone.
There is our story, briefly put.

The truth is, we can't even begin to touch on the many things this ebook contains, it is too vast.
And it entails a way for you to spare your family some of the pain and heartache of your loss.
You do know the value of preparation. You do want to protect your family and help create their success.
So - let me ask you once again - are you satisfied that you are ready for the inevitable ?
Remember - there is no such thing as a second chance after you are gone. What you do for your family, you must do now - not tomorrow, not next week, not next year - BUT TODAY !

Q: How to make my site use my computer's date instead of the server date I have a site that is posted in a server but i want to display the date that is found in my computer.
i tried date() but it returns the date on the server and not my computer.
Also, can i do this in mysql? I use now() but it also returns the server's date and not my computer..
How do i do this?

A: I think you're misunderstanding what PHP and MySQL are - which is server technologies. This means they run wholly on the server and not your local computer.
The closest thing that you are going to do is set the timezone to match that of your local computer, but this is not really recommended in that the server's timezone should be where the site operates (if it's the same then go for it).
If you want to get the client's date you would have to use a client-side language such as Javascript and new Date(); to get that information, then pass it back to the server for use. I don't really see a use case for this though, take for example comments... Somebody in a timezone of GMT enters a comment, time gets entered as 12:00:00.
Then somebody in timezone of GMT-2 responds to that comment, yet the time is 10:00:00, in the past. This wouldn't make any sense..

A: Can you use javascript? http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp

I recently finished reading Stu Fliege's, Tales & Trails of Illinois, which is a collection of often little-known historical events and personages. The stories are concise and well-written, and cover the full range of the state.
Two stories caught my attention. One was, "James Buchanan Eads and His Wonderful Bridge," and the other was, "Quincy's Pioneer in the Sky."
James Eads was born in 1820, and by the age of eighteen he had acquired what "formal" education he was going to have - an education that came from being allowed to read an employer's voluminous library. And with that knowledge in his head he went out to work on the Mississippi River where he became fascinated with salvage. Despite being told it couldn't be done he designed diving bells - successfully. For the Civil War he designed steam-powered, armoured warships to patrol the river. Then, this man, who had no engineering training, except for what he had taught himself, and what the Mississippi itself had taught him, decided to span that river so that St. Louis could have a bridge. He did it, using techniques then never truly heard of, and the Eads Bridge still stands today.
The other tale was about Thomas Scott Baldwin. He was an orphaned boy, who started gaining his fame when in his teens by doing high dives into the sawdust piled near the Mississippi River. He was agile and daring, and soon won a place for himself in a traveling circus. He moved on to balloons, then the first parachutes, trained the military in balloon use, flew dirigibles, and then airplanes. And passed at the age of 63 safely on the ground.
What caught my imagination with these two stories is that these were two individuals who had only the conviction of their skills and their creative ability to attain their goals.
Stories of individuals dreaming the "impossible" and then achieving it are necessary - they teach the children and remind the adults - that the creative spark, combined with determination, are vital elements in achieving just about anything. These individuals might be said to be creativity in its purest, most potent, form.
While I don't know who the current educational favorites are I know that after a while the same names and the same tales start to become tuned out. They are no longer really heard.
There are many forgotten pioneers who could offer potent tales. So I thought I would do my part in calling two, Mr. Eads and Mr. Baldwin, back into the limelight.


Sometimes things are just meant to be. Last week a thought planted itself in my mind. I wanted to write a nice piece about Sydney's exciting street art. I had done so before for Melbourne and Paris, so why wouldn't I want to do the same for my own city?
I figured the best way to find some of the best Sydney street art was by walking the back streets of Newtown. To ensure that my endeavour would not turn into a story of my getting lost in Sydney's Inner West I wrote a quick message on my personal Facebook page, asking my friends for help and direction. No reply.
But then, just a couple of hours later I received an email from the team of Culture Scouts, inviting me on a walking tour of Sydney's street art scene. So thanks to these guys I now have plenty of material to write about and to show you. Accompanying this article are 53 photos of Sydney's street art. Plus, I have had the privilege of joining one of the best done walking tours I have ever participated in.
Our host Melinda Vassallo is an artist herself, a graphic designer who finds inspiration in urban art. For more than 15 years she has been researching and photographing the local art scene, culminating in the book "Street Art of the Sydney's Inner West". Her knowledge of the local art scene, the different artists, the techniques used, is really impressive. And she has the talent and the presence to tell stories and share facts that are both compelling and intriguing.
During our 90 min walking tour we learnt a lot about the different forms of street art. From tagging to proper murals, sketching, posters, stickers, guerrilla knitting, affixing items with concrete onto public walls and walkways.
There's this fine line between art and vandalism, and I think street art is probably one of the most controversial forms of art out there. In fact, street artists need to overcome many obstacles to live their art. The anger of local residents and councils. Then the open criticism and scrutiny of their peers (look out for the tag "toy" to show another artist's discontent with the piece).The dangers of working in dark and off-limit areas, the omnipresent risk of imprisonment.
Our walking tour with Culture Scouts took us around Newtown and Enmore, both of which belong to the Council of Marrickville. Overwhelmed by the sheer amount of artwork the council has actually taken a liberal approach to the phenomenon.
Instead of just fighting the artists and their ever reoccurring display of art, the council now also works as a curator and matchmaker – helping property owners in the area to find an artist of their choice to work on their walls.
A quality piece of art earns respect on the streets, and other artists will refrain from destroying existing masterpieces that they respect. This way, street art in Newtown and Enmore becomes institutionalised and socially accepted, in fact it is used more and more as means of beautifying the area and bringing art to the public.
Street art can be just art for art's sake, but it can also be political. While this will not be one of the major themes in Australian street art, there are still some voices that you can hear around the streets. And artists do interact on an international level – some art you will find around Sydney is actually work done by artists from other Australian cities and indeed from around the world.
I think the beauty of street art is that it is such an unfiltered, quick response to our everyday lives. I like the fact that it can be surprising, offering an alternative reality to the urban landscape. It can be thought-provoking and challenging, and because of that it's ever changing and never boring. As our host Melinda pointed out, you never know what you might find around the corner as artwork can change so quickly around here.
As you will see from the pictures below, our tour took us past a host of fantastic street art. It's a very unique way of looking at Sydney, quite different from the usual tours that would only show you the typical landmarks of the city. It's a great present for friends visiting the city and anyone who is interested in art. The Street Art Basic Tour is a two hour tour around Newtown that will end at a gastro pub where you can enjoy a craft beer with the rest of the group. Groups are no bigger than 15 people, so it's a rather intimate experience which gives you plenty of opportunity to ask questions and engage in lively conversations with like-minded people. The cost is $50 per person.
Culture Scouts also do a lunch tour to taste coffee, cheese, wine and dessert in Newtown and Enmore, and there is a walking tour from Chippendale to Redfern along the backlanes.

Explosion in apartment building in Tatarstan's Naberezhnye Chelny
Incidents » Disasters, catastrophes
An explosion occurred in an apartment building in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, the Tatarstan Republic of Russia.
According to the Ministry for Emergencies Situations, the explosion of the gas-air mixture occurred in an apartment on the fourth floor of a five-story apartment building.
Thirty-two people were evacuated from the building, four others were hospitalised. A 17-year-old teenage boy was removed from under the rubble. The young man was found alive.
According to preliminary data, the explosion occurred due to the violation of the rules for the use of gas equipment.
The explosion sent concrete structures and glass fragments flying for tens of meters away, damaging cars that were parked near the building.
The Office of the Public Prosecutor of Tatarstan launched an investigation into the explosion. Further action will be taken depending on the results of the investigation.

RovA, a global regulator of Yersinia pestis, specifically required for bubonic plague

The pathogenic species of Yersinia contain the transcriptional regulator RovA. In Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica, RovA regulates expression of the invasion factor invasin (inv), which mediates translocation across the intestinal epithelium. A Y. enterocolitica rovA mutant has a significant decrease in virulence by LD50 analysis and an altered rate of dissemination compared with either wild type or an inv mutant, suggesting that RovA regulates multiple virulence factors. Here, we show the involvement of RovA in the virulence of Yersinia pestis, which naturally lacks a functional inv gene. A Y. pestis ΔrovA mutant is attenuated ≈80-fold by LD50 and is defective in dissemination/colonization of spleens and lungs after s.c. inoculation. However, the ΔrovA mutant is only slightly attenuated when given via an intranasal or i.p. route, indicating a more important role for RovA in bubonic plague than pneumonic plague or systemic infection. Microarray analysis was used to define the RovA regulon. The psa locus was among the most highly down-regulated loci in the ΔrovA mutant. A ΔpsaA mutant had a significant dissemination defect after s.c. infection but only slight attenuation by the pneumonic-disease model, closely mimicking the virulence defect seen with the ΔrovA mutant. DNA-binding studies revealed that RovA specifically interacts with the psaE and psaA promoter regions, indicating a direct role for RovA in regulating this locus. Thus, RovA appears to be a global transcription factor in Y. pestis and, through its regulatory influence on genes such as psaEFABC, contributes to the virulence of Y. pestis.

ABC7 : Filipinos at risk in pandemic will get help from new website. "Filipino Americans are disproportionately exposed to the pandemic, and now a nationwide organization of Filipino professionals is providing help through a mobile website. It is called TAYO, which in the Filipino language of Tagalog means 'us.' It was created as a virtual help desk and designed to be language-friendly and is culturally tailored.:
Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt researchers develop publicly available COVID-19 animal susceptibility prediction tool; suggests increased risk to horses. "A Vanderbilt team of experts in virology, genetics, structural biology, chemistry, physiology, medicine, immunology and pharmacology have together developed technology to understand and predict animal susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, the scientific name for the strain of coronavirus causing COVID-19 providing evidence that horses and camels may be at increased risk of the virus. The group has also released a publicly available tool to enable people to understand the likelihood of other animals' susceptibility."
Massachusetts General Hospital: New tool can detect COVID-19 outbreaks in U.S. counties that host pro football events. "Recent outbreaks of COVID-19 have been detected following football events in the United States, and games have the potential to become 'superspreader' events. Because the National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) made the decision to play their games amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School, Georgia Tech and Boston Medical Center have extended their artificial intelligence–based COVID-19 Outbreak Detection Tool to incorporate NFL and NCAA football games. The model can help public officials and team owners in their decision-making regarding in-person attendance."
University of Birmingham: New online research database set to boost battle against COVID-19. "Launched today, the international open-access database for ongoing research activity COVID CORPUS aims to encourage collaboration and reduce duplication between researchers across all academic disciplines working on Covid-19 research. Through its easy-to-use interface, the database will allow researchers and funders around the globe to coordinate, collaborate and network to help shape the most effective and efficient response to COVID-19 and its many impacts."

INDIVIDUALS / BANDS / GROUPS

"White House chief of staff Mark Meadows hosted a lavish wedding for his daughter in Atlanta this May, despite a statewide order and city of Atlanta guidelines that banned gatherings of more than 10 people to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus. The wedding took place May 31 at the Biltmore Ballrooms in Midtown Atlanta. The 70 or so guests, including U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, donned tuxedos and ball gowns for the indoor affair, but no masks, as Meadows walked his daughter, Haley, down the aisle through a path of soft white flower petals."
Washington Post: Hope Hicks returned to the White House to pull Trump across the finish line. Then coronavirus hit.. "The Russia investigation that she had been caught up in was over, the impeachment had just ended and the headlines about her personal life were largely forgotten. With a new title and a bigger office, she was set to be the main liaison between the White House and the Trump reelection campaign, charged with interpreting a volatile boss and keeping him focused on a message about the thriving economy. Two days later, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic."
NBC News: The Invisible Crowd: Inside the NFL's Fake Crowd Noise System. "Wendel Stevens has spent decades mixing sound for live football broadcasts. During a game, he's thinking about the sound of the announcers' voices, when to play the iconic theme music, what players are doing on the field and what coaches are yelling from the sidelines. But there's one thing he's never had to give much thought: the crowd."
Gainesville Sun: UF reveals new dashboard that tracks daily COVID-19 cases. "The redesigned University of Florida's COVID-19 dashboard now tracks the daily number of cases on campus and specifies who's quarantined or isolated through contact tracing. The dashboard, which reports case numbers from UF Health's Screen, Test & Protect program, now has a bar graph atop the page that shows the day-by-day positive and negative tests among all testing sites." I am not going to note every university's dashboard, but Florida's transparency is not all it should be so I think it warrants inclusion.
CTV News: UBC students criticized on social media for partying amid pandemic.

Blood tests revealed he had been poisoned by methanol, an extremely toxic form of alcohol that is never supposed to be used in consumer products like hand sanitizer. Despite treatment, he was left permanently blind. The case was part of a disturbing trend that toxicologists in New Mexico and Arizona caught wind of beginning in May."

OH THAT'S SO NICE
CBS News: Utah toddler befriends Halloween skeleton amid COVID-19 pandemic.

'I think he got kind of lonely, and he found this skeleton and was like, "Oh, this can be my friend,"' said Theo's mother, Abigail Brady."
Los Angeles Times: Even some supporters are disappointed that COVID-19 bout didn't humble Trump. "The COVID-19 outbreak at the White House has refocused attention on how Trump has dealt with the pandemic — his biggest political liability. A Washington Post/ABC poll released last weekend found 58% of voters disapprove of how Trump has handled the pandemic. Many of those are Democrats, but in interviews even supporters of the president said he seemed to lack empathy for those who have suffered."
STAT News: For many of Washington's most powerful, Covid-19 public health guidance does not apply. "Public health experts are aghast at the way the administration is approaching the spread of Covid-19 within the highest echelons of the government and the Republican Party."

He Is Just a Man!
Years ago in my early twenties, two of my friends and I discussed our "ideal" husband. This "ideal" man would solve all of our problems and whisk us away into this fairytale of "happily ever after" in which there are no troubles.
I admit that marriage is a beautiful thing and a blessed experience, but it is no fairytale. You will not always agree. You may not always like each other. You may sometimes feel your spouse is not meeting all of your needs. Years ago, a wise woman told me that only God could meet all of your needs. God can use your spouse to meet some of those needs, but your spouse is a just a vehicle to meet the need, not the source or answer to that need. We sometimes expect perfection from our spouse, when we are not perfect.
So on this Father's Day remember that your husband is just a man. He is not God and will not always get it right, but I guarantee you if he is a man after God's own heart he is striving to always get it right. Yes, he will sometimes miss the mark. Yes, you will sometimes have to grace him in his imperfections. However, here is a news flash for you. You will sometimes miss the mark and he will sometimes have to grace you for your imperfections.
Acknowledge what he is doing right.
Tell him how he has positively changed your life.
Honor him in front of others by complimenting or praising him.
Repeat these principles often throughout the day.
I pray that you can use these principles with your spouse, significant other, brother, father, son or friend you are celebrating on this day or any day.
Lastly, I want to say Happy Father's Day to my dear husband. Thank you for being an awesome provider, father, husband and my best friend! I thank God He gave me you!


Process efficiency, safe operations and automation are the corner stone of profitability in the test rig & industrial machinery industry.

At the heart of a converting operation is the slitter machine, whereby rolls of paper are cut into smaller more commercially viable product. The paper passes through the slitter which contains knives or lasers that slit the paper before being rewound on one or more shafts. These machine require a high level of automation and operate at extremely high speeds.
Regal manufactures high quality motors, control and power transmission products for a myriad of industries and applications. From high efficiency variable speed and custom motors that offer high performance. Our drives and controls are "Performance Matched" to operate seamlessly with our motors. The reliability of our power transmission products guarantee years of trouble free performance in the most demanding applications.
The industrial machinery manufacturing industry is not quite a single industry, but rather a collection of distinct industries that produce industrial machinery for their respective downstream manufacturing industries. Demand hinges on activity in discrete downstream markets, as downstream manufacturers purchase machinery in response to domestic and international consumer demand for their products. While the overall volume of industrial production and the value of the dollar affects the industry as a whole, the degree of impact varies for each industry segment.
Over the five years to 2021, industry revenue growth is expected to follow broader consumer spending growth, as the level of disposable income per capita continues to rise and unemployment continues to fall. Increases in spending levels will flow up the supply chain to encourage manufacturing activity, boosting demand for machinery from manufacturers seeking to expand capacity.
The composite nature of this industry makes it difficult to isolate any specific factor that affects demand for industry products. The industrial production index serves as a macro-level indicator of manufacturing in the United States. As the volume of industrial production contracts, demand for manufacturing products does as well. Likewise, as the volume of industrial production rises, so does demand for industrial machinery.
Regal actively supports and participates in industry leading trade associations, such as the National Electrical Manufactures Association (NEMA), that promote the refrigeration industry and its member organizations.

Q: Fill in struct table typedef struct bat {
  char * ch[30];
  int tp;
}
bat;

int main() {
  bat ba[5];
  ba = {
    {
      "Tropilleur", 2
    }, {
      "sous-marin", 3

    }, {
      "croiseur", 4
    }, {
      "porte avion", 5
    }
  };

  return 1;
}

error: expected expression before '{' token
    ba = {{"Tropilleur",2},
  ^

Can anyone help with fill in a table of struct please!

A: You cannot assign an array with an initializer list after declaration.  If you combine your declaration with your initializer list, that should clear up your issue.
Additionally, check your struct definition, where you declare a pointer to a char array.  You will likely want a pointer or an array, not both in this case.
