When debuting helmer Laszlo Nemes nabbed the 2016 foreign-language film Oscar for "Son of Saul," it confirmed that Hungary's proud tradition of original and affecting filmmaking with top production values was alive and well. The win also marked glorious affirmation for the Hungarian National Film Fund and its funding choices since the 2011 reboot under Hungarian-born Hollywood producer Andrew G. Vajna, who still serves as the country's film commissioner.
Under the aegis of Vajna and the fund's CEO Agnes Havas, compelling, provocative, artistically significant Hungarian films are once again winning top prizes at international festivals and being picked up in significant numbers for international distribution. Moreover, Hungarians are watching more domestic cinema than ever.
How did the fund drive this new renaissance? "The system we created supports talent and creativity. We also promote cultural diversity where both art and audience movies can be developed and produced," Vajna says.
In order to increase the competitiveness of domestic production, the fund also offers creative cooperation, professional expertise and training programs as well as international industry contacts for new Hungarian film productions.
"I truly believe one part of the current success of Hungarian filmmaking is the international education and film training for the new generation, especially for script development and producing. Obviously, our market is tiny, with one of the weirdest languages, but we are having international successes continuously," says producer Judit Stalter, whose festival hit "Kills on Wheels" from second-time helmer Attila Till is being released Stateside by Kino Lorber.

In 2017, Hungarian films are on track to draw more than one million domestic viewers, a feat unmatched for nine years. Top among the local hits fuelling those numbers is helmer Gabor Herendi's big-budget historical romp "Kincsem — Bet on Revenge," which has exceeded 450,000 admissions since its March 16 release. It follows the real-life story of the eponymous thoroughbred mare who won every race she ran from 1876 to 1879. But the horse's story pales in comparison to the fictionalized dramatic and romantic exploits of her owner, Count Erno Blaskovich, dashingly played by Ervin Nagy. The film will open the 17th annual Hungarian Film Festival of Los Angeles on Nov. 2.
Number two at this year's box office so far is "Pappa Pia," a contemporary musical comedy/romance, in which an old coot with a boathouse on the banks of the Danube unites the young and old of his community against a greedy developer. Gabor Csupo directs this action-laffer, which features a stack of oldie but goodie musical numbers but seems limited to local consumption.
The third-place slot belongs to the Berlinale Golden Bear winner "On Body and Soul" from seasoned helmer-writer Ildiko Enyedi ("My Twentieth Century"). It centers on a metaphysical romance between two employees of a slaughterhouse who learn that they share the same dreams night after night. This arthouse title, widely sold internationally by Films Boutique, including to Netflix for the U.S. market, is Hungary's foreign-language Oscar contender this go-round.
"On Body and Soul" and "Kills on Wheels" are not the only Magyar titles nabbed for Stateside distribution this year. Another film making its way from the international festival circuit into U.S. theaters is Ferenc Torok's "1945." This finely performed, lustrous B&W period drama takes on a transitional time — the immediate aftermath of World War II — in Hungarian history with subtlety and nuance. And like Nemes' "Son of Saul," it offers a fresh cinematic approach to a difficult topic. A New York opening on Nov. 1 through U.S. distributor Mememsha Films will be followed by a national rollout.
The fund is behind two autumn premieres likely to score at the domestic box office and travel the festival and arthouse circuit. Nimrod Antal's high-octane biopic "The Whiskey Bandit" offers a gripping account of the so-called gentleman outlaw Attila Ambrus, Hungary's most-wanted bank-robber in the 1990s. At the same time, Eva Gardos offers adventure of a different sort with "Budapest Noir."
Set in the politically fraught autumn of 1936, with Hitler looming on Hungary's horizon, her stylish film follows a cynical crime reporter probing the seemingly unimportant murder of a young prostitute. He follows clues that take him into the city's dark underbelly –– and lead all the way to the highest echelons of power.
Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fund-supported productions will premiere in 2018. Among them is Nemes' sophomore feature "Sunset," a period drama set during the turmoil, chaos and eventual collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The many fans of singular talent Gyorgy Palfi ("Taxidermia") will be glad to learn that he's in post on "His Master's Voice," an adaptation of a Stanislaw Lem novel of the same title. The plot follows a 30-something Hungarian journalist as he attempts to track down the father he never knew, a scientist interested in extra-terrestrial life, who defected to the U.S. in the 1970s.
Karoly Ujj Meszaros, whose strange and wonderful 2015 debut "Liza the Fox Fairy" won a legion of fest prizes and international praise as well setting box office records at home, is in post on "X." It's a highly visual thriller set in contemporary Budapest with his "Liza" star Mónika Balsai as a troubled police detective/single mother who uncovers a serial murderer.
Who are the new talents to watch for in the future? Some names include award-winning shorts helmer Balint Kenyeres, whose first feature "Yesterday" is finally in post-production. Shot in Morocco with an international cast and crew, it follows a middle-aged architect on a North African building site who is confronted with memories of his youth. Meanwhile, Kristof Deak, a 2016 Oscar winner for his live-action short "Sing," is developing his first feature as well as a pair of television projects.
Also worth mentioning: the animated action-adventure thriller "Ruben Brandt, Collector," the first feature from talented animator Milorad Krstic. This sharp-looking noir set in the world of high-stakes art theft will go out in an English-language version for the international market and in Hungarian domestically.

Deciphering Conflicts

DBC Phase 0 Week #8

January 4, 2015

            I used to live with a roommate when I lived down in LA.  We shared a kitchen but most of the kitchenware was mine. A lot of the times, he would use my pans and wouldn't wash them for the longest time. He would use my nice (expensive) kitchen knives but fail to clean them after use. The stove would never be clean after he was done cooking. Even one of my pans was burned and the Teflon started to come off. I felt he was the source of the conflict.

            When I analyzed the situation, I felt like he didn't respect my things. If it were his things, he would take really good care of it. I was angry and also disappointed. I try to treat his things with respect when I borrow or use them so I feel the same should be shown to me.

            I tried to ignore it and brush the problem away. I just did my part in the kitchen. I would find myself cleaning the kitchen more than I should. I guess I thought that if he saw me doing all these things, maybe he would do the same. I would always clean up after myself after cooking. I thought I could lead by example.

            If I could go back, I would maybe try to bring up the situation to him and just explain how I felt disrespected since he did not respect my things as compared to his things.

            I tend to try to avoid conflicts as much as possible. This means I try to bury my emotions in hopes of them going away. I know this is a not a good thing to do as it will only surface again. I need to stop and think about why I am feeling that certain way when I encounter a conflict. I need to present my concerns to others and try to convey the problem from my view. I think this way I can better resolve conflicts in the future.

Vary your surfaces, but transition slowly into something new.
Though hard surfaces give a great push for you to run faster, you'll probably be able to run for longer periods of time and even go farther on soft surfaces. Some experts claim to get up to 25 percent more mileage on softer surfaces like dirt [source: Glover].
Perhaps the most important reason to train on soft surfaces, however, is that it it puts less strain on your body, reducing the risk of injury. Keep in mind that out of the three events in the triathlon, running is the hardest on your body. Hard surface running is tough on your joints and shins and can lead to stress fractures. Soft surface running, on the other hand, will improve your lower leg strength to help avoid shin splints and ankle sprains [source: Russ]. It's also good for stabilizing torso muscles [source: Bean].
Some soft surfaces can offer runners a more well-rounded workout, because you'll be forced to shift and adjust to uneven terrain, using muscles you might not on flat concrete. Even though dirt and grass come with unexpected rocks and crannies, your body learns to adjust to rugged terrain, which in turn helps strengthen ankles [source: Bean].
Conversely, perfectly flat surfaces overwork certain muscles and underwork others. If you run on a track, for instance, you should at least reverse directions occasionally to avoid repetitive stress on the outside leg [source: Noakes].
However, because your triathlon might involve hard surface running, you don't want to stop training on hard surfaces altogether. Overall, it's best to vary the kinds of surfaces you train on. Incorporate several different kinds of surfaces in your training routine.
Beware of drastic changes in surface, though, which can lead to pain and injury, especially if you aren't already in excellent shape. For this reason, many experts recommend slowly transitioning to a new kind of surface if you aren't used to it: Take only short runs every other day on a new surface before you incorporate it into a daily routine [source: Glover].
Varying your surfaces will also help you avoid the monotony that comes with running on just a track or treadmill. It may sound frivolous, but monotony can discourage many from continuing training.
So fight boredom, give your joints a break and hit the trail.

David William Kilgour  (February 18, 1941 – April 5, 2022) was a Canadian human rights activist, author, lawyer, and politician. He was also a Senior Fellow to the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights.

Kilgour graduated from the University of Manitoba in economics in 1962 and the University of Toronto law school in 1966. From crown attorney in northern Alberta to Canadian Cabinet minister, Kilgour ended his 27-year tenure in the House of Commons of Canada as an Independent MP. Upon retirement, he was one of the longest serving members of parliament and one of few who had been elected under both the Progressive Conservative and Liberal banners.

Member of Parliament
Kilgour was originally elected as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1979. However, his first attempt at election, in the 1968 federal election in the riding of Vancouver Centre as a Progressive Conservative was unsuccessful. He ran again as a Tory in the 1979 election in Edmonton, and was a member of parliament for about 27 years. In April 1990, he was expelled from the Tory national caucus after criticizing the Mulroney government's policies. He sat as an independent for several months before joining the Liberals.

In the Liberal government, he served as the Deputy Speaker (1993–1997) and Chairman of Committees of the Whole of the House of Commons, Secretary of State (Latin America and Africa) (1997–2002), and Secretary of State (Asia-Pacific) (2002–2003). In the Conservative governments of Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney he served as Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Privy Council, the Minister for CIDA, the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, and the Minister of Transport.

As a Secretary of State, Kilgour was continuously vocal on many human rights violations around the world. In 2001 while visiting Zimbabwe, Kilgour was vocally critical of Mugabe's farm-invasions policy and pushed for increasing international pressure. In December 2004, he was among the Ukrainian election monitor delegation of the federal run-off elections.

In April 2005, he received media attention when he speculated about quitting the Liberal Party because of his disgust with the sponsorship scandal, saying that the issue made Canada look like "a northern banana republic". On April 12, 2005, he announced that he would sit as an independent MP. He also cited Canada's lack of action on the crisis in Darfur, Sudan, as reasons for quitting. He asserted that he has no plans to move back to the Conservatives, and stated that he had no plans to run for re-election.

From 1979 to 1988, he represented the riding of Edmonton—Strathcona, but with shifting constituency lines moved to the Edmonton Southeast in 1988, and then again to Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont in 2004 which he represented until he retired from politics at the 2006 election.

Because of the unusual structure of the 38th House of Commons, in May 2005, David Kilgour's lone vote had the power to bring down or support the government. He used this influence to urge the Martin government to send peacekeepers to Darfur. He was an endorser of the Genocide Intervention Network. Then-Prime Minister Paul Martin agreed to send humanitarian support but in the end, no peacekeepers were sent.

Electoral history

Democracy activism
While being a lifelong practicing Christian, Kilgour has worked on issues such as inter-faith dialog, personal freedoms, and democratic government throughout his career. In Parliament, he was active in prayer groups while at venues and publications across the country he has spoken specifically on religious themes and politics. Commonly, his topics have been on global religious and political persecutions. He served as a fellow of the Queen's University Centre for the Study of Democracy; a director of the Washington-based Council for a Community of Democracies (CCD), and co-chair of the Canadian Friends of a Democratic Iran, and has hosted an Iran pro-democracy rally  attended by approximately 90,000 in France in 2009.

His personal religious beliefs landed him in the news in 2003 when he abstained from the same-sex marriage bill and was reprimanded by then Prime Minister Chrétien.

Organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China

In 2006, allegations emerged that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners had been killed to supply China's organ transplant industry. With David Matas he released the Kilgour-Matas report, which stated "the source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained" and "we believe that there have been and continue today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners". In 2009, they published an updated version of the report as a book. They traveled to about 50 countries to raise awareness of the situation.

In 2012, State Organs: Transplant Abuse in China, edited by David Matas and Dr. Torsten Trey, was published with essays from six medical professionals, Ethan Gutmann, David Matas and an essay co-written by Kilgour. Ethan Gutmann interviewed over 100 witnesses and estimated that 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners were killed for their organs from 2000 to 2008.

Personal life and death
Kilgour was married to Laura Scott, with whom he had five children. He died on April 5, 2022, in Ottawa at the age of 81, from lung disease.

Recognition
Throughout his parliamentary career, Kilgour has been awarded a wide range of awards, including: the Kaputiman Award from the Council of Edmonton Filipino Associations; the Special Award from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (Alberta Provincial Council); an Outstanding Service Award from the Edmonton Sikh community; the Religious Liberty Award from the International Religious Liberty Association in Washington, D.C., Liberty Magazine and the Seventh-day Adventist Church; and as Chairman of the Parliamentary Group for Soviet Jewry, he was recognized by B'nai Brith Canada for his effort and commitment to bringing the plight of the Soviet Jewry to the attention of Canadians.

In May 2006, he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity (D.D.(Hon)) degree from Knox College, University of Toronto. Kilgour, a Presbyterian, was recognized for his commitment to human rights in Canada and abroad and particularly his challenge to the international community to respond to the plight of Darfur, as well as in Burma, and Zimbabwe.
For their organ harvesting work, Matas and Kilgour won the 2009 Human Rights Award from the German-based International Society for Human Rights and were nominated for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

Relations
He is the brother of Geills Turner, who is married to former Canadian Prime Minister John Turner. Kilgour and his sister are the great nephew and niece of John McCrae, the soldier and poet who wrote In Flanders Fields, and also the great nephew and niece of John Wentworth Russell, who painted the portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, which hangs in the House of Commons.

Documentaries
He appeared in Red Reign: The Bloody Harvest of China's Prisoners (2013), Davids and Goliath (2014), and was interviewed in Free China: The Courage to Believe.  He is also briefly in the 2012 documentary film "Death by China."

I'm, intelligent, charming, a highly reviewed lady with class and style I'm an ex-photomodel and High Class Independent Courtesan. You can spend with me a truly interesting and unforgettable time. I like the company of smart sophisticated Gentlemen, interesting conversation, traveling, romantic places and atmosphere – everything what is beautiful and luxury. My big asset is 100% NATURAL beautiful body, very soft skin and perfect breast. I think I'm one of the few, who really enjoys this job.


Model Citizens Unite: Hello? Operator?
I find myself longing for the same excitement that came with answering the phone that I experienced when I was a young boy. Like the time I tried calling 555-5555 to get in touch with all those people I saw in the movies. Or as excited as one of my students who lights up when she sees the area code (604) because she knows it is from her hometown of Vancouver. Even that time the girl gave me the "you've been given a fake number" number was more exciting then current phone calls from these 17 digit numbers.
When a phone rings – I want to be able to pick it up. The more foreign the area code the better. But, I want to trust who calls me. I want the excitement of conversation and the exchanging of words from one mind to another. Who wants to live in a world where they don't even bother to pick up their phone because they know it's not worth their time?
Mind you the more I think about it – I may actually be interested in spending some money to receive the opportunity of a lifetime. Anyone have glub glub's number?
This is similar to the idea of phones no longer being used for phone calling - but instead, for taking photos, updating statuses, sending emails...even getting NHL trade deadline updates. If phones ever get back to the basics, I think phone calls will too!

All Rise for Home Sweet Home...

American League Championship Series
Yankees 8, Astros 1
Astros lead Series, 2-1
CC Sabathia is proving, again and again, that he is the team's prime stopper in 2017. I almost feel bad since I was among those who left CC for dead. I started to buy into Sabathia early in the season, but when he ran into his bump in the road and time on the DL, I was burying the guy again. Yet, here he is on the main stage, being trusted with the ball in the most dire situations and he has not disappointed. Monday, backed by home runs from Todd Frazier and Aaron Judge, Sabathia reeled off his 10th win (against no losses) following a Yankees loss with an elite 1.69 ERA in those situations as the Yankees put the brakes on Houston's march to the World Series.
Aaron Judge draws the most attention when going yard, but the biggest hit was provided courtesy of Todd Frazier. At the trading deadline when the Yankees acquired Frazier, it felt like he was going to be a two month rental before moving on. However, Frazier is showing how much he enjoys playing in the Bronx and seems to be tailor made for Yankee Stadium. I recognize that Miguel Andujar (or perhaps a free agent signing of Manny Machado after the 2018 season) represents the future at third, but Frazier deserves an encore performance in the Bronx next season.

While the final line for Astros starter Charlie Morton was not pretty, he was pitching great early. After two strikeouts by Morton to start the game, Didi Gregorius got the first hit for the Yankees with an infield grounder to third, but he was quickly erased for the final out when Morton's pickoff throw to first was a little faster than Didi's sliding hand.
It looked like Morton, who grew up as a Yankees fan in Connecticut, was going to have a very good game in this pitching-strong series. Like the first inning, Morton got two quick outs to start the second inning...a line out to center by Gary Sanchez, who jumped on the first pitch, and a strike out of Greg Bird. Then, Starlin Castro hit a weak squibbler toward third that third baseman Alex Bregman tried unsuccessfully to barehand. Carlos Correa retrieved the ball and threw to first, but Castro had already crossed the bag. Aaron Hicks followed with a high fly to left that dropped in for a single. The Yankees had runners at first and second, but those were two hard earned hits so you couldn't really fault Morton. On Morton's third pitch to Todd Frazier, he threw a good outside fastball but Frazier reached out and got enough of the bat on the ball with a one-handed swing to power it over the right field wall. The Yankees were up, 3-0.

Staked to a three-run lead, CC Sabathia appeared to wobble in the top of the 3rd inning. After getting two outs, he walked George Springer. Alex Bregman singled to deep left, but a great throw by Brett Gardner to second base held the runners at the corners. The very dangerous Jose Altuve was up next and Sabathia pitched very cautiously to him before losing him on four balls. The bases were loaded for the Astros, the best hitting team in baseball with runners in scoring position. However, Sabathia got Carlos Correa to pop out to short for the final out. Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. Excellent job by Sabathia to get out of the inning unscathed.
Greg Bird led off the bottom of the 4th with a fly to left that bounced over the wall for a ground rule double. Left fielder Cameron Maybin came running up to catch the ball but then pulled up at the last moment before the ball hit the ground and became a souvenir in the seats. After Starlin Castro grounded out to third, Aaron Hicks hit a fly to right which Josh Reddick caught on the warning track but Bird was able to tag and move to third. Todd Frazier walked to bring up Chase Headley. Headley hit a grounder to second baseman Jose Altuve in shallow right and reached when Altuve bobbled the ball. Frazier was safe at second and Bird scored on the play. Brett Gardner was hit by a pitch on the left knee to load the bases, which brought Astros manager A.J. Hinch out of the dugout with a call to the bullpen. He brought in Will Harris to replace Morton. With Aaron Judge batting, Harris threw a wild pitch and the runners advanced, pushing Frazier across home plate to score the Yankees' fifth run. Judge finally broke out of his ALCS slump when he blasted a line drive into the left field seats for three more runs. The Yankees had increased their lead to 8-0.
The Astros threatened again in the top of the 6th inning. Carlos Correa started the inning with a hard grounder that deflected off the glove of Didi Gregorius to safely reach first base. After Sabathia recorded two outs, Marwin Gonzalez hit a grounder to Gregorius and reached base when Didi lost his footing and overthrew Greg Bird at first. Correa moved to third. After a visit to the mound by Larry Rothschild, Sabathia got Josh Reddick to hit a soft grounder back to the pitching mound that CC was able to field and throw to first for the final out. The shutout remained intact for the great 37-year-old Yankees lefty.
For Sabathia, his day was finished. Adam Warren took over in the top of the 7th. It didn't start well when he walked his first batter, but he settled in and retired the next three batters to push the game to the 8th inning. Warren was back out for the 8th and retired the Astros in order.
It was inevitable that we'd see Dellin Betances at some point and Joe Girardi decided his time was the top of the 9th inning to seal the deal for the Yankees. It was a great opportunity for Betances to earn redemption and show that he can be a trusted arm for the duration of the playoffs. Unfortunately, it was a missed opportunity for Betances who walked the first two batters he faced and was pulled.
Tommy Kahnle was brought in. Cameron Maybin greeted Kahnle with a single to left to load the bases. Kahnle struck out George Springer for the first out but then he walked Alex Bregman which pushed Marwin Gonzalez across the plate for the Astros' first run (a run charged to Betances). Bases still loaded for likely AL MVP Jose Altuve and only one out. Kahnle came up big when Altuve hit a grounder to second baseman Starlin Castro, who stepped on second and threw to Greg Bird at first to complete the double play. Game over. Yankees win!
Granted, Judge's home run was huge. While I still feel that Frazier's bomb was the difference-maker (offensively), the play of the game occurred in the top of the 4th inning when Marwin Gonzalez led off with a fly to right that took Aaron Judge to the wall. Judge reached up to catch the ball as he crashed into the wall and fall to the ground. It was an incredible catch to rob Gonzalez of a potential home run. Of course, it brought the obligatory questions of who was hurt the most...Judge or the wall...but it was the play of the game in my opinion. The Yankees were holding the three-run lead at that point courtesy of the Frazier home run, and a rally by the Astros in that spot would have made it a much different game.

Judge, proving his glove is as powerful as his bat, also made a diving catch of a line drive hit by Cameron Maybin in the fifth inning.

I can't say enough great things about CC Sabathia. Time and again, he has proven to be a crafty veteran who simply knows how to win. He's faced his share of adversity but continues to overcome. Like Frazier, I think that CC Sabathia was earned a spot on the 2018 Yankees.
The Yankees now turn Game 4 over to the forgotten Sonny Gray. Like Betances (who failed his ALCS audition), this is a chance for redemption for Gray. We know that he will be a huge part of future Yankee teams but this is his time to grab the moment and make his mark in New York. Gray (10-12, 3.55 ERA) will be opposed by Lance McCullers, Jr (7-4, 4.25 ERA). Don't let the ERA fool you, McCullers, the son of a former Yankee, has been very tough on the Pinstripers. This game should be a classic. Hopefully, Sonny Gray rises to the challenge to craft an exciting first chapter of his Yankees post-season career.
Odds & Ends...
I missed the weekend game (Game 2) due to a preplanned trip. The Yankees failed to tell me that they were going to make it to the American League Championship series earlier in the year when I made plans. A heartbreaking loss is not fun to write about, but I really appreciated the way that Astros catcher stood up for Gary Sanchez after the game. McCann could easily join the throngs who love to bash the Yankees but he's been nothing but the professional that we came to love during his days in the Bronx.
I keep reading so many articles that speculate whether or not Manager Joe Girardi will return and how he seems to be edgier around friends and family. Personally, I think he'd be foolish to leave at the dawn of a new era in Yankees baseball. I think he'll come to an agreement with the Yankees after the season is over to help the Baby Bombers strive for greater heights over the next few years. Honestly, I do not see any viable alternatives and nothing against Yankee coaches like Tony Pena or Rob Thomsen but I think, despite his faults, Joe Girardi is the best man for the job.
Have a great Tuesday! Like Joe Girardi and Joe Torre before him have said, let's just win one game today. We believe. Go Yankees!

So it Seems… Just When I Needed it Most!
I'm going to be honest, yesterday was not a good morning for me. Without going into too much detail it was just one crap storm after the other. Now I can't complain too awful much, I did wake up next to my best friend and the one put on this planet for me while all my kids were both healthy and alive but it was just the little stuff that just kept on snowballing. Little things, big things, trivial things and things that I shouldn't let bother me like I do. Then I went to work, which is always fun on a Monday, and found out that my computer was worked on over the weekend. What that means in my company is if the IT guys work on your computer you can expect it to not work when they get done with it, period. And it didn't, again. It worked before they touched it, but I digress.
As I was sitting there watching them "fix" my computer I had an email come through that caught my eye. It has a quote on it and I'll be damned if that quote didn't sum up my morning and my thoughts on the day in one sentence. That quote is below, maybe it can help someone else too.
"Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals." -Dorothy Height
I may not be great, but I will be. I won't give up until I am. I LOVE YOU. Hey you. Let's keep this damn thing together. Have a great Tuesday everyone.

This Day in New York Yankees History 10/17: David Justice Strikes Again
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman took over the reins of the New York Yankees in 1998 and immediately helped build one of the best teams of all time in Major League Baseball. The Yankees were looking for their third consecutive World Series title when Cashman acquired David Justice before the season ended hoping his impact would help in the postseason. It did help on this day in 2000 when Justice hit a three run home run to propel the Yankees to their 37th American League pennant and a trip to the Subway World Series as New York beat the Mariners 9-7.
Also on this day in 1985 Billy Martin was fired and/or replaced by the Yankees for the fourth time and replaced by Lou Piniella. Martin managed the Yankees to a 97-64 record this season and a second place finish two games behind the Toronto Blue Jays.
Also on this day in 1978 the Yankees would win their second consecutive and 22nd World Series championship overall beating the Los Angeles Dodgers by the score of 7-2. Bucky Dent was named World Series MVP.
Finally on this day in 1964 the Yankees fired manager Yogi Berra after a 99-63 record and loss in seven games in the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals. Johnny Keane, the Cardinals manager that season, was named the new Yankees manager after he resigned from the Cardinals after the World Series victory.

I've checked .htaccess for any strange rules but nothing wrong in it. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this to be happening?

A: The problem is that requests for your images like this one:

Welcome to Everyone Chess, a game of chess for everyone. I don't have many pieces so you'll have to play with just one for now. Also I don't have many chess boards so you'll have to share the same chess board as everyone else. It can get a little cramped, we're kind of running out of space, sorry!
There are AI enemy chess pieces, as well as real humans playing at the same time. And one board for all of you.
How to distinguish AI players for human players? Well… the humans are probably a lot better. You might need to message a friend and get them to play at the same time to actually see that happen though.
If you just see a grey screen and music, if means the game couldn't connect to the server. Make sure you have an internet connection and try restarting it!
Nvm i know how to know.
Hallo People How Do You Play Chess?

Home Features Favorite Rides The Ride to Red Wing: Meandering Through the Midwest
The Ride to Red Wing: Meandering Through the Midwest
James R. Petersen
The rails follow the river.
The planning session for the ride had been laughable. We were three old farts, card-carrying AARP members, edging into retirement. Gary had suggested a three-day trip to Red Wing, Minnesota. Dick fiddled with a recently acquired GPS. I unrolled a map. "What's to figure out?" I'd asked. "We head west from Lake Michigan. When we hit the Mississippi, we turn right."
The riders follow the rails to Red Wing, Minnesota, home of Red Wing Shoes.
The point of the trip was to get back in the saddle. A year earlier, Gary had been riding his Harley Road King near Duluth when he encountered freakish weather. "I saw a wall of water headed straight for me. There were no overpasses to hide under. So I stopped and braced myself." A derecho, the 100-mph microburst that can precede a Midwest storm, flung the bike like a child's toy, throwing Gary to the ground with a crushed foot and broken hip. He watched his windscreen spiral into the sky, on its way to Oz. It was never found. Trapped under the bike, unable to move, he thought he would drown before help arrived. A year of therapy, not to mention work on the bike, and he was ready to ride.
I was coming off a situation only slightly less extreme. For a year, my wife and I had tried to sell our house. The process involves something called "decluttering." Not unlike living in a padded cell while a stream of strangers walked through my life. My BMW had been imprisoned in the garage, behind a wall of cardboard boxes. It had taken me two days to dig out my riding gear and prep the bike.
Dick was slowly handing his photo studio over to his son. He'd bought a BMW F 700 GS and enough electronics to stock a Best Buy and was eager to try them out.
The night before we left, I'd watched "On The Road" and listened to Dean Moriarty explain the nature of spontaneous road trips: "We were leaving confusion and nonsense behind, performing the one noble function of our time…to move."
We started early from our homes near Chicago. The ground fog formed a false horizon, above which floated a pale white oval. At first, I thought it was the setting moon, spreading the way the sun does, puddling like candle wax. On approach, the disc became a water tower perched like a golf ball on a tee, the name of a town emblazoned on its side. Nothing says prairie like a water tower. For the next two days, these water towers acted as old-school road maps, announcing the towns along the way.
Just miles from Chicago we encountered farmland. One-word signs, weathered with age announced: HAY. SOD. CORN (the latter sometimes adding the qualifier "SWEET" to distinguish their offering from corn grown as feed or ethanol). Out here, everything that is not road is a cash crop.
TripAdvisor says that there are 62 things to do in Galena, a tourist mecca. Numbers 1-61? Finding a parking spot.
We rode through towns that haven't seen a paint salesman in this century. Every other house posted notice of a garage sale. We passed a house, the front yard filled either with incredible antiques, or debris from a flood. There were signs of desperation, signs of pride. I noticed details: a mailbox shaped like a John Deer tractor, another with a planter of flowers. This was how people living on a rural delivery route announce themselves. Every town had a civic directory on its border—like knights of old hanging shields on the walls of Arthur's court, to signify alliances. Here there be Lions and Rotarians. Baptists and Lutherans. The local legends who won the AAA high school state championship some decades in the past. It's the same town, over and over—the water tower, the body shop, the salon where women pamper their nails, the bar named for whatever road you're on.
As we neared the Mississippi the terrain changed. We wound through hills, threaded exposed rock bluffs. The signs now announced ski resorts, golf courses and equestrian academies.
Red Wing, Minnesota, is home to really big kinky boots.
In motion, you notice other things in motion. Sort of like entering a dance hall. The moment comes when you don't see the floor, only the dancers. I became aware of two egrets, necks outstretched, wings pulling them forward just there. A chevron flight of geese. A hawk flaring its wings, landing atop a fence post. On the river, the white wake of a speedboat. A three-engine train pulling 100 boxcars, light glinting off the steel wheels.
A road trip reminds one that the business of America is motion. That rails follow rivers, that roads follow rails. We followed the roads. It was a sublime state, approaching grace.
Spending the night in Red Wing, we woke to a crisp, cool morning. We set out, the river on our left, and almost immediately felt the dance of movement. A tug pushed four barges, the white curling wake stark against the indigo water. A bicyclist pumped down the side of the road. Someone walked a dog. In a field, a bull mounted a cow. Each, in its way, winding the watch stem that turns the world.
The bluffs on the western side hold the highway close to the river.
We stopped for breakfast in Wabash, a small town of immaculate brick buildings, home to the Delta Queen paddlewheel riverboat. We parked near a statue of an important Native American chief, whose name was spelled differently on each block of the city. The attentive waitress topped off our coffee every three sips, and told us stories about the town, the kind of detail no plaque can capture.
We decided to go old school, to get information face to face. A group of bikers coming in for brunch told us the Iowa side of the river was worth exploring. They were not mistaken. The road caressed the flanks of 600-foot high hills—bluffs carved by the river's relentless quest to return to sea level. You cannot follow the river without sensing that power. There were islands, wildlife, trees and scenic turnouts worth interrupting our momentum.
On the eastern side you find quaint towns like Prairie du Chein, home to Pete's poached burgers since 1909.
In Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, we parked near Harleys tied to a hitching post on the shady side of Main Street. We asked one of the women where she liked to eat. She pointed to the line of people waiting at Pete's Hamburgers, an outdoor stand that has been serving poached burgers with onions since 1909. Waving her hand down the street, she approved of the fried cheese curds at another restaurant. Finally, her companion pulled her away, saying, "Now dear, leave these gentlemen be. You know how you get when the meds stop working."
The fried cheese curds were great.
The wild bunch stops for scenic markers.
We fired up and simply meandered. Meandering is the most spiritual form of motion. We rode through a town where families sat in lawn chairs in their front yards, facing the street, as though expecting a parade celebrating some previously unknown holiday. On a side street an unusually high number of people were sitting on John Deere lawnmowers. A precision drill team? The National Guard making do with whatever? A float peeked out from behind the outfield fence on the baseball diamond. The townspeople waved at us. We were the parade.
And then came the kind of moment you ride for.
Gary was leading, noticed horse droppings on the shoulder of the road, and slowed. Ahead I could just make out the rear view of an oddly shaped vehicle. We overtook a convoy of horse-drawn wagons, filled with Amish families on their way to church. The men wore hats, the women bonnets. A young girl sat on a rear-facing bench seat. She waved at us, bashfully. I waved back. We were partners in the great dance.
The highway climbs the bluffs on the western side of the Mississippi, giving a breathtaking view of Old Man River.

Put a penny on the track. Roadside attractions
in Bay City, Wisconsin, include a SOO line (now the MOO line) caboose converted to an ice cream stand.
Along the road are numerous farmers' markets like this one.
The GPS is purely decorative. Just ride.
Main Streets in the Midwest have cornered the market on red, white and blue bunting, like these decorations in Galena, Illinois.

Webinar attendee
"This was just so great to be able to listen to this author discuss her upcoming work. Thank you for providing this type of one on one without it being face to face. LOVED IT! Please have more."
"This was truly a gift in so many ways -- graciously mind and perspective-enhancing. Thank you!"
We invite librarians to take a break from the daily grind and watch this Q&A with best-selling author, Jhumpa Lahiri. Discussion moderated by Heather McCormack, VP of cloudLibrary, Collection Development and Publisher Relations.
JHUMPA LAHIRI is the author of four works of fiction: Interpreter of Maladies, The Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth, and The Lowland; and a work of nonfiction, In Other Words. She has received numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize; the PEN/Hemingway Award; the PEN/Malamud Award; the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award; the Premio Gregor von Rezzori; the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature; a 2014 National Humanities Medal, awarded by President Barack Obama; and the Premio Internazionale Viareggio-Versilia, for In altre parole.
ABOUT WHEREABOUTS
A marvelous new novel from the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Lowland and Interpreter of Maladies–her first in nearly a decade. Exuberance and dread, attachment and estrangement: in this novel, Jhumpa Lahiri stretches her themes to the limit. The woman at the center wavers between stasis and movement, between the need to belong and the refusal to form lasting ties. Read more.

The Rise and Fall of Peter Molyneux
This 4 and 1/2 part video is over 3 hours long. Still, I found it very fascinating. I just kept watching one part after another.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAuvaAGnqQw
It just shows how difficult the game business is.
I think that Peter Molyneux's problem is that he tried to design games while he wrote them. He seemed to start games without a clear idea where he was going.
Solving Traffic
Got into some serious traffic problems in Greenwood today, including passing an accident that slowed traffic to a crawl.
There is a Diverging Diamond Interchange in Greenwood close to where I live. I like it, and and I like Traffic Circles (roundabouts) because they are more efficient.

I saw Ramp Meters in Salt Lake City and Chicago, and I always hated them because they make you wait to get on the highway, but perhaps they help traffic.

For the Bible Tells Me So
Featuring Bishop Gene Robinson, who was one of the first openly gay members of the Anglican Church and as a result is widely regarded as the cause of a great divide within the Christian religion.
Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? For a religion that preaches to 'love thy neighbour', can the Bible ever be used to justify hate? Is the chasm separating homosexuals and Christianity too wide to cross?
Daniel Karslake's award-winning documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So, addresses the conflict of faith faced by five very Christian American families - including that of Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson - as they struggle with their child's sexual orientation and their own religious beliefs.
With additional interviews with such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes and Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg, we discover how people of faith handle, or sometimes tragically fail to handle, having a gay child.
For The Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

The Manual Driving Kit (MDK) is great for smaller projects or areas where jackhammer installation is not convenient. The MDK comes with a drive rod, HSP-T4 spacer for the T4 series anchors, and stabilizing handle/adjustment bar. You can use a post driver to drive the post in the ground. If you have maybe a half-dozen or so posts, then this is your best tool. It's quicker and easier than driving a sledgehammer, but it IS an extra tool that you'll have to either rent or purchase. However, it's still a manual tool. So, if you're driving any more than say, six of these, we suggest going big and using a jackhammer with the JDK.


Official LEGO iPhone App Converts Images Into LEGO Mosaics... That'S It!
Official LEGO iPhone App Converts Images Into LEGO Mosaics… That'S It!
LEGO has just released an official iPhone App. Is it as cool as you think it will be? Maybe, maybe not.
There's just something about LEGOs that is completely timeless. Even though it's been years since I used the bricks, I still love anything that's connected to them. When I first heard about the app, I had all of these strange fantasies about what it would actually be.
It turns out that it's an app that turns photos in to LEGO brick mosaics. Initially, this sounds like something that's got limited appeal, but I have to say that it looks like it's fun to use.
I know that I'm a bit of a LEGO geek, so this app is right up my alley. Sure, you could just use a filter in Photoshop and get the same result, but this is on the fly on your iPhone! The results look pretty, but it's a bit sad though that you can't specify what kind of LEGO bricks should be used in the mosaic.
You can grab the LEGO Photo iPhone app here for the low price of… free.

A: Избегайте такого запутанного кода. Ошибка очевидная - вы пытаетесь дробное число умножить на ф-ю.
В каком месте? Скорее всего там, где ф-я num_deriv вызывает deriv_func. Поскольку в num_deriv у вас возвращается другая ф-я, а не результат ее выполнения, то в строке current_point = current_point - STEP_SIZE * num_deriv(func_(current_point)) происходит умножение STEP_SIZE на ф-ю. Попробуйте поставить скобки при вызове ф-и deriv_func в ф-и num_deriv. Возможно я ошибаюсь.

Members of European Parliament may conceal their income
Aldeilis (EN) Posted on 15. October 2018 by aemmett 15. October 2018
General Court of the European Union
PRESS RELEASE No 138/18
Luxembourg, 25 September 2018
Judgment in Cases T-639/15 to T-666/15 Maria Psara and Others v Parliament and T-94/16 Gavin Sheridan v Parliament
The General Court confirms the Parliament's refusal to grant access to documents relating to MEPs' subsistence allowances, travel expenses and parliamentary assistance allowances
The Parliament was entitled to claim that the documents concerned contain personal data since the applicants failed to prove the need for their transfer.
In 2015, a number of journalists and journalism associations requested access from the Parliament to documents relating to the subsistence allowances, travel expenses and parliamentary assistance allowances of Members of the European Parliament ('MEPs'). Those requests were all refused by the Parliament, as were the confirmatory applications which followed them.
The persons concerned brought an action before the General Court seeking the annulment of the Parliament's decisions.
By today's judgment, the General Court dismisses the actions and confirms the Parliaments' decisions refusing access to the documents requested.
The Court recalls first of all that the institutions must refuse access to a document where disclosure would undermine the protection of privacy and the integrity of the individual, which provision must be implemented in accordance with EU law on the protection of personal data. [see Note]. Under that legislation, 'personal data' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Indeed, since all the documents requested contain information concerning identified natural persons (namely MEPs), the mere fact that those personal data are closely linked to public data on those persons does not mean that those data cannot be characterised as personal data.
Next, the Court recalls that access to documents containing personal data may nonetheless be granted if the applicant shows that the transfer is necessary and if there is no reason to believe that that transfer could prejudice the legitimate interests of the person concerned. The General Court considers that the first of those two cumulative conditions (the need for the data to be transferred) is not met in the present case. The applicants have failed to show how the transfer of personal data at issue is necessary to ensure an adequate review of the expenditure incurred by MEPs to fulfil their mandate, in particular to remedy the alleged inadequacies of existing mechanisms for the review of that expenditure. Similarly, the wish to institute public debate cannot suffice to show the need for the transfer of personal data, since such an argument is connected solely with the purpose of the request for access to the documents. Finally, the applicants have failed to demonstrate that that transfer is appropriate and proportionate to the objective pursued. The Court points out that, in any event, by their arguments, the applicants are not so much seeking again to challenge the legality of the contested decisions but are, in essence, denouncing shortcomings in and the ineffectiveness of existing review mechanisms. It is not for the Court to assess that point in the context of proceedings brought before it.
With regard to the argument that the Parliament could have redacted the personal data in the documents requested and so grant partial access to those documents, the Court considers that the disclosure of a version of the documents requested expunged of all personal data (including the names of the MEPs) would have deprived the access to these documents of any useful effect, given that such access would not have enabled the applicants to monitor individually the expenditure of MEPs, since it would be impossible to link the documents requested to the persons concerned. In any event, the Court takes the view that the redaction of all personal data in the documents requested meant an excessive administrative burden having regard to the volume of documents requested (more than four million documents for all requests).
Note: Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (OJ 1995 L 281, p. 31) and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (OJ 2001 L 8, p. 1).

More Mortgage Aid for Unemployed Homeowners
By Tanya Roth, Esq. on August 12, 2010 12:41 PM
Homeowners who are unemployed and facing foreclosure have one small reason to be a bit less worried. On August 11, the Obama Administration announced a $3 billion package to aid struggling homeowners. This aid is meant to supplement the "Hardest Hit Fund" originally set into motion last February by the President.
The money in the Hardest Hit Fund is supposed to be used by government officials to create programs to provide direct mortgage aid to unemployed homeowners, according to the New York Times. The first $1.5 billion of funding was sent to those states hit hardest by the collapse of the housing market: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada.
The second round totaled $600 million and went to North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Carolina. The next group of states eligible for mortgage aid funding includes Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi and New Jersey.
According to the Times, it will be the Department of Housing and Urban Development that will be responsible for overseeing the program. The Department of Treasury will provide $2 billion and HUD will provide the additional $1 billion which was authorized by the new financial reform law. Representatives from HUD will work with local programs to provide bridge loans of up to $50,000 to eligible borrowers. This money can then be used by unemloyed homeowners to pay their mortgage principal, interest, mortgage insurance, taxes and even hazard insurance for up to two years. HUD has said it was still determining which communities would receive the money.
"We remain committed to helping struggling homeowners and this program will provide additional assistance to states hardest hit by unemployment," Herb Allison, Treasury assistant secretary for financial stability, told Reuters.

Please read the FAQ and Rules above, then feel free to share your journey or ask for advice! My only comment is to better format the print layout; when I open it in Excel, the Monthly Budget worksheet defaults to print on six pages. This is truly a blessing for my family. When you first start using the envelope system your goal is to pay cash wherever possible and practical.
After all, why have money if you can't enjoy it? Having money that is yours and having money that is somebody else's loans, debt are two different things. That's what he teaches. Hence, the "rice and beans" diet. Honestly, I think it's a bit of a figurative phrase as well. You can't sacrifice your health, but at the same time you don't need to be eating expensive food and going out to eat if you're trying to pay off debt.

What does this one cost? Also, a foot rub for the wife is certainly negotiable for subscription members. Curious if he got it fixed. So, do you create a whole new Excel file for a new month, or create new worksheets for each month? I find this helpful for me personally because I can easily calculate total debt repayment over the span of multiple months. Thanks for sharing your spreadsheet. I agree, that Excel is awesome.
Despite some of the other software that I use, the majority of my tracking and calculations are still done on Excel. This is so fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. It then is put into a monthly budget. I know exactly where I stand with every account and the budget itself every day. One of my readers recommended to me that people should just save automatically.
Take a certain percentage out of every check that you want to save and then just try to live off of the rest. Eventually you wont even remember that you took it out. Probably far easier than a budget. Charing — excellent suggestion. As for history, I was going to use a new file for each month. I debated putting multiple tabs, but having them in separate files makes archival easier…plus I personally get overwhelmed with too many tabs! I not only budget, but I make everything I can automatic too.
Bet of both worlds! Paul — Thank you so much. I just fixed all of the errors you and everyone else mentioned. I really like the looks of the spreadsheet. Yours looks nice and condensed, thanks for sharing!
I also use excel to track expenses. Mine is a bit more concise, is all on one page, tracking the months by columns. It might be helpful to you, if you eventually wish to create a summary page. Thanks for posting this and the update! I work for a very cutting edge software company where everyone loves to use open source solutions and home-brewed stuff for just about everything, but I must admit that for the price, Quicken really does it all.
For the time you spend on your spreadsheet, Quicken is a frugal choice. Toby — No objection really, just a little more than I need or want. It also only budgets at the month level and not bi-weekly. This looks great, and I will be trying it out in the next week by populating some of our personal numbers. Are all the formulas straight-forward so that when adding these rows I should be able to find all the places any sums,etc need to be updated?
Then I compare this spreadsheet to the transactions listed in online banking so I know when things post — which is when I delete them from the monthly spreadsheet.
Looking forward to trying out your sheet to help move us from being reactive to proactive with our personal finances. I get paid fortnightly and use Excel as well. Next year I plan on using http: Thank you for the spreadsheet. We are new to RVing and I sent my husband your article on trailer sway. How do you handle a home repairs accounts. Its really a good thinking and very amazing to see as i also want to make personal budget but i have not been successing in that.
Now this month i have started and want to fulfil it completely. I enjoy this spreadsheet…. I think I found an error. Now I have an organized way to, once again, implement this budgeting system without all the obstacles. An envelope system wallet is designed to be used with the cash envelope system of budgeting.
I prefer natural materials like leather or fabric and his wallets are vinyl. I also cannot appreciate the huge Financial Peace University logo embossed on the outside. Actually, he has several envelope systems to choose from, plus a coupon organizer and they are all reasonably priced. If you want your wallet to stand out in the crowd, choose one from SavvyCents.
These envelope systems come in black, pink, or polka dotted patent leather or zebra stripes. Included are pre-printed and blank labels for the tabs on the accordion sections. One other is made of camouflage fabric and is more like a zip-shut bank bag with fabric envelopes inside.
I think it would be something a man would keep in the glove box of his car, but not carry around in his pocket. CitrusDesigns makes the camo one already mentioned and another style made of vinyl. Her design looks less bulky than those with zippers on all the pockets; plus I really like her choice of fabrics. TheLaughingHouse is the other crafter. If you enjoy crafting, but not sewing, consider modifying a wallet you already own.
Kelleigh Ratzlaff is a work-at-home mom that designs papercraft templates to sell. On her blog , she has a free template and tutorial for making your own envelope insert that will fit into a standard-sized wallet. She also has an Etsy store where she sells pre-made envelope sets for your cash budget system.
Now, I have a true reason to go shopping—with cash, of course. Do you use the cash envelope system of budgeting? What do you carry your cash in? These posts after yours, jmonen, are interesting.
I wonder if they are real people or what…. Thanks for the conciseness and great information! This was a great challenge for our family we undertook this month. We are already saving a ton. And when the envelope is empty… No more spending ;. You can also do the envelope system with just plain envelopes. Jonathan, thank you for the comment. Glad to hear your family is already seeing a significant savings as a result of the envelope system.
Keep up the good work! This budgeting system really does work.


Today's American youth think they have a harder time than generations before them when it comes to finding a job.

The majority (54 percent) of those 18-24 who are currently employed say they 'work to live' compared to only 32 percent who 'live to work' and 14 percent who say they like what they but do not like the company they work for.
Gender may make a difference in perception as men are much more likely to say they 'live to work' (36 percent men compared to 28 percent women); women are much more likely to say they 'work to live' (60 percent women compared to 49 percent men).
Six in 10 (63 percent) say the way their parents raised them has prepared them to go after the job they want.
The majority (62 percent) of American youth today do not involve their parents in their job search process.
Priorities for American youth boil down to career advancement (34 percent) and paying down debt (16 percent).
1. Which of the following statements, if any, most accurately reflect your current attitude towards your job?
The majority (54 percent) of those 18-24 who are currently employed say they work to live. Compare this with 32 percent who live to work and 14 percent who say they like what they do but not the company they work for.
Gender may make a difference in perception as men are much more likely to say they live to work (36 percent compared to 28 percent) while women are much more likely to say they work to live (49 percent compared to 60 percent).
2. How long have you been looking for a job?
American youth who are not currently employed but are trying to find a job are most likely to have been looking for less than six months (19 percent) or six months to a year (12 percent), while only six percent have been looking for a year or more.
3. How long did it take you to find your current job?
The majority (65 percent) of employed American youth spent less than six months to find the job they currently have.
Interestingly, those who 'live to work' (59 percent) were less likely to find a job in less than six months compared to those who 'work to live' (70 percent).
4. Compared to other generations, is it harder, easier, or about the same to find a job?
5. Are you currently working at a job within your desired field of work?
A referral from a friend, professor, family member, etc.
American youth most commonly found their first job through the regular application process (29 percent) or by a referral from a friend, professor or family member (23 percent).
7. Which of the following statements, if any, comes closest to your idea of the new "American Dream" when it comes to your personal career aspirations?
9. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The way my parents raised me has prepared me to go after the job I want?
11. How involved are your parents in your job search process?
13. What's the biggest priority in your life right now?
D1. What is your age?
D2. What is your gender?
