SORT BY: DATE | EVENT TYPE
Timeline 1920 - 1939
Filmed at the Coliseum: 'Escape From L.A.' Basketball Scene
A sequel to Escape from New York (1981), Escape from L.A. is a 1996 American post-apocalyptic action film directed by John Carpenter, with Kurt Russell starring as Snake Plissken. The legendary basketball scene was shot in the Coliseum. Fun fact: Kurt Russell practiced playing basketball in-between scenes because he wanted to legitimately make every shot during the basketball challenge. He made every shot, including the full court one.
Filmed at the Coliseum: Alicia Keys 'Lift Every Voice'
Alicia Keys filmed a beautiful rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," that premiered for the NFL in September of 2020. Additionally, it was re-aired ahead of Super Bowl LV. The song was originally a poem written by James Weldon Johson in the 1800s. The song talks about the struggle for freedom and equality, inspiring hope in listeners. For a long time, it has also inspired the Black community of America in their pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. The NFL chose to incorporate the song into their games as a way of showing the relevance of the content for the Black community today in the current social environment.
The video of Alicia Keys singing for the NFL was filmed at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In reflection, Keys said "we filled this stadium with love, with possibility, with endlessness, with power, strength, and music." The video was broadcast before the "Kickoff Game," Monday Night football on ESPN and Sunday Night Football on NBC.
Filmed at the Coliseum – 'Jerry Maguire'
Jerry Maguire was a 1996 American romantic comedy film, starring Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., Renée Zellweger, and Regina King. It was produced by James L. Brooks, famous for his production of The Simpsons. The film was inspired by sports agent Leigh Steinberg, covering the struggles, career ventures and love of life of the sports agent Jerry Maguire. The film was a success, and became the ninth highest grossing film of the year, making 273 million worldwide up against a 50 million dollar budget. The film was additionally nominated for five Academy Awards and three Golden Globe awards Cuba Gooding Jr. won the Academy for best supporting actor and Cruise won the Golden Globe for best actor.
Parts of the Jerry Maguire movie were filmed in June of 1996 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The film used 70 locations around Los Angeles as well as additional locations in Arizona, but the Coliseum got its moment in the award winning film when the "Great Frank Cushman" threw a football at what was supposed to be a stadium in Odessa, Texas but was actually the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
"College" – A Silent Film Starring Buster Keaton
"College" is a 1927 comedy-drama silent film. The film takes place in Southern California, directed by James W. Horne and Buster Keaton. Keaton also stars in the film, alongside Anne Cornwall and Harold Goodwin. The film was screened at the Los Angeles Coliseum, making it the first movie to ever be played there.
Wattstax '72 Benefit Concert
Touted as the "Black Woodstock", this event brought in over 100,000 attendees- most local residents of South L.A.- and celebrated African American culture, unity and pride within the local community, which at the time was still recovering from the violent Watts riots that had taken place six years earlier. Wattstax featured not only important civil rights leaders within the community, including Jesse Jackson, but performances by top recording artists at that time, such as Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Kim Weston, Rufus Thomas and The Soul Children.
"I am an American Day" Ceremony
In observance of "I am an American Day", the State of California, along with the City of Los Angeles, welcomed new American citizens to come celebrate their citizenship at a ceremony held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. With nearly 60,000 in attendance pledging their allegiance to our flag, as well as members of the U.S. Armed Forces honored for their service at that time during World War II, then Governor Warren spoke these words to the crowd:
"American citizenship is a blessing, regardless of how it comes to us, and under the protective folds of the Stars and Stripes, it generates more real happiness than is produced by any type of citizenship yet conceived.
Most of the time it gives much and seeks little in return except good living, tolerance toward others and application to the affairs of government. Now it not only gives much but it requires much. It needs our intense loyalty, our entire energy, our money, our service and in thousands of instances, our lives. True citizens will not deny any of these to their country".
Cinco de Mayo — or the fifth of May — is a holiday commemorating the date of the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
In 1934, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum celebrated its first Cinco de Mayo event which was an exciting culmination of both sports and carnival activities featuring athletes & performers of Mexican descent displaying their talents to all in attendance.

What are the benefits of outsourcing your lead generation?
Businesses these days all agree that proper lead generation campaigns play a crucial role in keeping your business afloat. After all, generating sales leads is a natural necessity, since this provides you with a steady flow of clients for your business.
But for something as basic as this, a lot of companies have encountered a rather severe snag: not many of them are savvy in lead generation. In cases like these, choosing the right agency to outsource the work to is also a significant investment and decision-making process to make. And you need to know how to do it right.
First, you need to choose a lead generation agency that can work in harmony with you. In other words, they must have similar work ethics and attitudes with your employees to maximize results. This synergy can help your business be more effective in your operation.
Second, take your time to choose. Often, appointment setters set up shop rather quickly, but you need to think it over carefully. After all, this is a business investment. You have to make it work. Decisions made on the fly often translates to disaster to your business.
Third, you have to be clear in what you want. The usual cause of misunderstandings, as well as poor performance, is the failure on your part to elaborate well on what you want and on what you are looking for with the lead generation company that you hired.
Another guideline is to 'expand' your workforce. Since you are outsourcing the work already, you might as well work with people with a different skill set than yours. When done correctly, you can cover your weaknesses. This makes generating B2B leads easier for you to do.
Next is regarding technology. If you are outsourcing, you might as well look for a partner that is using the more modern equipment. Whether the tools used are either for telemarketing, social media, or search engine optimization, being modern will pay a lot.
If your expertise is away from the sales side of your business, then you would be foolish to try and use it within sales. By letting someone else generate your leads, you are saving time, money and opportunities.
You can focus your energies on improving the business in the areas that you have knowledge and practice. Internally there can be a streamlining of operations towards greater effectiveness, always looking to improve the company the best you can.
And lastly, never, ever hire the lowest bidder. Sure, you might think that cheaper is better. But please, do not fall into that mistake. Yes, the fees are small, but how about the quality of the service. You should focus more on having a partner that can truly get your business moving, instead of short-changing you.
Now, all that remains is for you to choose the legal and qualified lead generation team to support you. There are plenty of such firms to choose from, scattered all over the world.
But, as what the guidelines above have stated, not all of them will work well with you. You have to choose well, weigh your options, and make sure that you get what you invested in return.

My Sentimental Library
Two More Derek Mason Aviation Books for My Sentimental Library
Mike Slicker, Proprietor of Lighthouse Books in St. Petersburg, is still having his 50% off Moving Sale, so I met Florida Bibliophile Society member Carl Nudi at the bookstore last Friday. And Carl and I lessened the number of books Mike will have to move to his new location in Dade City sometime in the next six months.
Mike had several bookshelves full of aviation books from the Derek Mason Aviation Collection he had bought several years ago. And I found two more of Derek Mason's aviation books to my liking for My Sentimental Library Collection. That makes seven books formerly owned by Derek Mason that I now own. And that number was enough for me to create a Derek Mason Collection in my Library Thing Catalogue.
I wrote about the first five Derek Mason aviation books in my May 2019 post, A Sentimental Airman's Second Aviation Collection. And now, I just have to write about these two books as well!
I "introduced" Derek Mason in my May 2019 post, with most of the information coming from his obituary, which was published online. He was an RAF bomber pilot, flew for British Airlines and Singapore Airways after the war, and then worked for the United Nations. Just today, however, I found more information about Derek Mason. A military enthusiast from Dublin, with the user id of Noor, posted the information on the Gentleman's Military Interest Club website. Derek Mason was the test pilot for an in-flight program to determine the minimum amount of de-icing fluid required to keep an aircraft free of ice without reducing the safety factor. He was also a pilot trainer for the Comet and then trained pilots in their conversion from flying Comets to flying 707s.
Derek Mason (1922-2012)
One of the two Derek Mason books I bought last Friday was Bomber Pilot 1916-1918 by C. P. O. Bartlett, which was first published by Ian Allan in London in 1974. Charles Philip Oldfield Bartlett (1889-1987) was a World War One flying ace who kept a daily diary. The diary included notes about his air battles as they occurred. Bomber Pilot is, in essence, a publication of his diary.
Derek Mason read Bomber Pilot and wrote Bartlett that he enjoyed reading it. He asked Bartlett if he would autograph his copy of the book for him. Bartlett did one better! He sent Mason two gummed signed labels, along with a two-page letter dated 13/9/76.
The second Derek Mason book I bought last Friday was The Shape of the Aeroplane by James Hay Stevens, first published in London by Hutchinson and Co. in 1953.
James Hay Stevens (1913-1973), was a pilot, an aviation journalist, and an illustrator. He was the editor of Aircraft Engineering Magazine from 1945 to 1957. In his book, The Shape of the Aeroplane, Stevens provided illustrations of 280 aircraft. The basis of his book was that the purpose of an airplane's mission determined the shape or design of an airplane.
Laid in under the front cover of the book were three Christmas cards Stevens sent to Mason in the 1960s. Judging by the notes Stevens wrote on the cards, I would say that Stevens and Mason were friends.
And so I add two more Derek Mason Aviation Books to My Sentimental Library Collection.

A Bookfellow Anthology Originally Found Wanting
Two More Derek Mason Aviation Books for My Sentime...


Morning Star is the conclusion to the Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown. You can read my reviews for the previous books in the series, Red Rising and Golden Son. Plus there is a second trilogy about the same world/characters a bit in the future (I think) that has the first book coming out later this year and I am so excited.
When Golden Son came to a close Darrow had been captured by the Jackal. This book opens several months after that, I think nine… close to a year at any rate. It follows Darrow as he catches up on what the Sons of Ares have been doing and tries to figure out how to out think his opponents. Throughout Morning Star we get to travel to other parts of the solar system that we haven't been before and most character (that aren't dead by now) make a return in some form or another in the final battle as either opponents or allies. Will the society actually be overturned? And more importantly will the society Darrow and the Sons of Ares create be a better one?
The USA and Australian cover, and I think its the UK one too. This is the only cover I had seen before I went looking for more and I really like it. This cover is simple but tells the story.
The Hungarian cover – the colour scheme of this one is the same, and its also relatively simple. I like it.
The Latvian cover – the art style is pretty cool and it still relates to the book, possibly even more so than the english cover, but it isn't as aesthetic.
The Polish cover – this is a bit creepy honestly. I don't like it.
page 212 – the first 150 pages were painful to read as the book recovered from the downward spiral of the end of the second book but now that Darrow has taken back control and knows what is going on things are looking good.
page 455 – OMG no this is not happening… I knew there was going to be bloodshed in this book but this is one death I cannot bear, not now when things were going so well.
page 491 – YES YES YES YES YES things are working out, i don't think there has ever been a more perfect set up for the end. This book is honestly so perfectly heart wrenching.
I am crying right now. That was so emotional. I am so glad I read the end all in one go. Honestly this book was amazing. I can't think of a more perfect way for it to have ended. I don't really have any words to say… I am pretty speechless about the whole thing. The characters have grown so much, the clever schemes have only gotten more intricate, and the world has expanded so much. I keep writing things then deleting them because nothing I can say seems to do this book justice. The tension rose the whole way, none of the gritty details were glossed over. If there was ever a rebellion this is what I would expect from it. Now that I have finished this book I can honestly say that I cannot wait for the release of Iron Gold. I am getting a weird urge to reread this whole series, possibly in the form of audio books. It's so crazy to think that it was less than a year ago when I read Red Rising and nearly put it down fifty pages in because I wasn't interested. If I can write a book half as clever and interesting as this one I will be incredibly happy.
The clever plots. There were so many AHAHA moments and I was so emotional at the end of the book because of all the thing happening. I just needed someone to talk to but unfortunately I was alone so I just screamed in my head and clutched the book to my chest why rolling around with a grin on my face.
The character development. Darrow grew so much in this book, as did Sevro and Mustang and my understanding of all the other characters was so much deeper. Everything made so much sense and all their motives were really clear… at least emotionally they were once you understood their backstory.
The pacing. Every moment was super intense and the book moved really fast, at least towards the end. I could not put this book down once I got into it, well I could… but I kept wanting to pick it up again.
I was majorly annoyed with the titles in this series, because the first two have names that have a colour in them (Red Rising and Golden Son) and then Morning Star… really?? Plus Golden Son and Morning Star had space allusions with Sun and Star. They all made sense but I just really wanted them all to match. I mean they all have links to the books so its isn't that bad… I just wish it was perfect. I think Golden Son is the best title though because 'son' alludes to the sun and also to the idea of being perfect and well liked and also the sons of ares… that is a lot of symbolism in one word. Although Red Rising and Morning Star have clear significance so they're good too.
If you now need something else super sci-fi to read because after the events of Morning Star you are in a reading slump or really want to read more space books then here are my recommendations.
I always describe this series to my friends as The Hunger Games mixed with Ender's Game, especially the first book. Considering most people have read The Hunger Games I would therefor highly recommend Ender's Game. It has a lot of the same sci-fi battle strategy stuff as the Red Rising series.
If you liked the dynamic of the characters and your happiness spiked whenever they came together to come up with a clever plan then you might enjoy The Brotherband Chronicles. This series is kind of historical and vikingy and they sail around on boats, but specifically the competition element of the first book in the series reminds me of Red Rising.
If you like space and really clever stories then one book you should have read by now is Illuminae. I mean this is an amazing sci-fi that has space ships and battles and drama. Check it out.
My last recommendation is Across the Universe which is about a space ship and a voyage to another planet and people being frozen and also has a mystery. I feel like the suspense and world building in this series is similar to that in the Red Rising series.
what did you think of morning star? which of the covers do you like? are there any more ya space novels you would recommend?
Yes I loved this series, now I've just got to get as many people as possible to read it haha.

Supernatural: Lucifer is Busting Out All Over
I'm beginning to understand why creator Eric Kripke has repeatedly said he'd like to end Supernatural after its fifth season. The first episode of season 4 introduced God and angels into the show's mythology, while last night's installment began setting up a showdown between the Winchesters and Lucifer himself. Lilith's quest to break the 66 seals sounds like it'd take about two seasons, and if Sam and Dean successfully thwart her and stop Satan from walking the Earth, where else could the series possibly go? Once you've beaten back Lucifer and the armies of Hell, everything else seems like small potatoes.
I don't feel it's a bad thing that Kripke seems to be setting the series up for its eventual end. I'm glad he's thinking ahead and pulling the villain to top all villains out of his hat. Focusing on a specific endgame helped make shows like Lost and Battlestar Galactica better than ever, and I think Supernatural is on a similar path. As much as I loved the overarching stories of the first three seasons, none grabbed me as instantly as this Heaven vs. Hell setup. Season 4 of Supernatural is building to something truly epic, with the apocalypse nipping at the Winchesters' heels. It feels like all hell is about to break loose once again.
Aside from the Lucifer bombshell, one of the highlights of last night's episode was the return of Meg, Henricksen and Ronald. Not only did these characters act as a gut-wrenching reminder of the innocent people the Winchesters failed to save, but their return was like an extra treat for loyal Supernatural fans. As BuddyTV reader N0Nightowl pointed out, the episode may have been more powerful had Bobby's wife been the one to haunt him. It's possible the actress wasn't available, so it's certainly a forgivable gripe.
Last night's episode also found Ruby 2.0 making a run for it, possibly never to return. The demon understandably had no desire to hang around and risk being spotted by an extremely powerful angel. I'm really not a fan of what Genevieve Cortese has brought to the role (mainly a lisp and a blank stare), so I won't miss her.
What do you think of the direction Supernatural is taking this season? Do you want more monsters and fewer Biblical shenanigans, or is it time to bring on the apocalypse?

Q: Changing image of ImageButton on press and release In Mono For Android, I have an ImageButton and I want to change its image while user is holding the button. And when user release the button image should change to pervious image. I am trying with the code below but nothing happens:
    private void _goForward_KeyPress(object sender, View.KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.Event.Action == KeyEventActions.Down)
        {
            _goForward.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.arrowUpGreen);
             //Then do some stuff
        }
        else
        {
            _goForward.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.arrowUpRed);
            //Then do some stuff
        }
    }

I am not sure if I am doing this with the right event. What event usualy should be used in this case?

A: Try this:
Use the selector for this
Say its name as: background_drawable.xml
<selector
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/YOUR_IMAGE_WHEN_PRESSED"
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/YOUR_IMAGE_WHEN_FOCUSED"
        android:state_focused="true" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/YOUR_IMAGE_WHEN_NOT_ENABLED"
        android:state_enabled="false"
        />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/DEFAULT_IMAGE_WHICH_YOU_WANT_ALWAYS" />
</selector>

And in you main.xml file
<ImageButton
            android:background="@drawable/background_drawable"/>

A: You need to attach your method to the button's KeyPress event for it to be called, since the wiring doesn't happen automatically:
_goForward.KeyPress += _goForward_KeyPress;

EDIT
Oops, I should have read the question a little more closely the first time. Since you're trying to hook into when the button is touched, you want the Touch event instead:
_goForward.Touch += _goForward_Touch;

and
private void _goForward_Touch(object sender, View.TouchEventArgs touchEventArgs)
{
    if (touchEventArgs.Event.Action == MotionEventActions.Down)
    {
        Toast.MakeText(this, "down", ToastLength.Short).Show();
    }
    else
    {
        Toast.MakeText(this, "up", ToastLength.Short).Show();
    }
}

Yes, Family and friends, I am finally in Idaho Falls! The potatoes are growing and are at the flowering stage, just beautiful. Wheat and alfalfa are all green and look like waves in the song. It is a gorgeous time of the year, but it has been in the high 90's until today it is finally cooling down a bit. Also we are in the car and the ride to Sun Valley to see the rest of the family is moving us higher and higher and with that a bit cooler-74 degrees.
My Dad looks good for 88 and is calmer than I have seen him in the past. We see him every day-take him stuff, redress him in new clothes, dine with him and take him to Starbucks for a sandwich. He usually forgets what we have done within the hour. No short term memory. He did enjoy our drive up to Rexburg to see Todd's (my brother in law) parents, Luella and Allan Mink. They live on a country property in a small and charming house. Lou's mother passed and she would like to get back to Magic Valley where all the grandkids are. Todd's dad is like an old mountain man-used to hunt in the wilderness areas and passed that on to Todd and my nephew Brandon.
Oh, point of interest. Instead of turning toward Sun Valley where we are driving-I was determined to follow the signs to Mackay. Russ told me it was the wrong way, my brother tried to correct me on the phone, but I kept ignoring them. Well we got there when I finally realized what I was doing-going to the area we will camp with Karole and Ken next weekend. Instead of feeling stupid I feel great-you know how I tell everyone that God is running this journey? Well, my sister wants us to buy a Razor ( modern ATV with power steering). It is $11,000 and she said we could sell it at end of summer and get back $10,000. Well we are not comfortable with that but she says we will not get to go on the 40 mile trail following the continental divide (next weekend). So would you believe in Mackay we saw a Polaris (similar) for rent. We called the owner and they will rent it to us for next weekend for a lot less than $11,000.
Did anyone notice Russ's new haircut and beard??

Okay. So, Minto Oakvillage. Very excited about this one. As I said about this one, I'm going to be personally investing here. I'm gonna tell you four reasons why that is. As the name would suggest, it's a building by Minto Communities and it is in Oakville, in their community, a larger branded community called Oakvillage. So, let's get into it. The first reason why I'm investing in this project, why I'm so excited about it are the prices. Pretty simple, the numbers. I've been talking about this for a couple of years now. Affordability is a huge issue in the market, not just for people looking to buy a home for themselves, but also for investors who are looking to get into the market and grow their portfolio. With the extreme and rapid run up in prices over the last three years, a lot of people who want to get into the market as investors are just simply priced out. They're just simply not able to purchase, and obviously with downtown Toronto condos now the entry level point is around $600,000 for an entry level condo in downtown Toronto.
You need about $100,000 minimum for deposits to get into that market. So, what if you don't have that kind of money? And a lot of people, maybe you listening, are in that boat. Well, the good news is it starts there with affordability here at Minto Oakvillage. You can into a great unit here for around 50 to $60,000 in deposits will get you a fantastic condo in this project. Units are starting in the low 300s. Low 300s is not a number that we have seen really anywhere in the GTA. Even most 905 projects now are starting at about 400,000 even at the base point and most 905 projects now are not including parking. You're paying for that extra. Minto Oakvillage includes parking. Every unit includes parking, and you're starting again in the low 300s. So, the prices are very affordable. You don't need 100,000 bucks or more to get into an investment here, which is a great starting point.
The price per square foot is also almost ridiculous. The numbers that we're seeing here, that we're going to see here are absolutely fantastic. They're up to 35% less than other projects currently selling in the 905 in other … and we're not talking about downtown Toronto of course. Compared to downtown Toronto, they're 50, 60, 70% less than projects in downtown Toronto, but just compared to other projects in the 905 that have been selling and selling very well, the prices are up to 35% less. But the good news is the rental rates are very similar to other 905. So, you're purchasing at 35% less, but basically getting the same rents again. Again, very attractive pricing.
We, traditionally when we're looking at condo investments, the number one thing that we're looking for in price is can we buy something pre-construction that is equivalent to or less than current resale pricing. And that has been a tried and true formula that if you follow that and if you're able to jump on opportunities like that, you do very, very well with your investments. The problem is that these types of opportunities, while never easy to find, they're especially difficult to find in today's market. Most pre-construction projects, if you look around, are priced probably 20 to 30% higher than equivalent resale. Most projects are like that, and there's a number of reasons for that, land prices, construction cost, development charges, taxes, levies, a whole slew of options, the removal of the OMB, there's a whole, you know, we could spend an hour talking about why pre-construction prices are the way they are but this is the reality. Pre-construction prices are for the, if you look on a macro level, all pre-construction, the entire market generally right now is priced at a very large premium over the resale market.
So, to find an opportunity like this where the prices at Minto Oakvillage pre-construction are basically equivalent to current resale pricing in the area, it's just a tremendous no-brainer type of investment to get into and it's extremely hard to find something like that. So, that's the first thing. It starts with the prices. The second reason why this is an exciting opportunity that I'm looking forward to getting into myself is the rental market. The rental market in Oakville might surprise you. It certainly has surprised me as I've looked at it and studied it more and more leading up to making this investment. One bedrooms in the current area, Minto Oakvillage, right now going for 1850 a month approximately. Two bedroom, two baths going for approximately 2400 a month. These are very high numbers. They are again, obviously less than downtown Toronto but they're not that much less, and the prices again are, you're paying half or even less than half of what you would pay for something equivalent downtown Toronto.
The rents are not half. The rents are not less than half. They are actually not too far off downtown Toronto. When you compare to other 905 projects, again, the prices are 25, 30, 35% less than other 905 projects, but the rental rates are basically in line with these other areas of the 905 that are selling. And it's interesting is these units are renting quickly. The rental market's very strong. These condos that I'm quoting you that are renting for these numbers are renting very quick. They're not sitting on the market for long, you know, five, 10 days on the market often many of these units and they're being snapped up. There's not a lot of supply. There's not a lot of product in this area and so these are all good things for us as investors. So, you have, basically this combination of low prices with relatively high rents and you're doing the math and quickly you discover that you're going to get cash flow. That's right. Cash flow does still exist in this market. You just have to know where to find it. And where there is cash flow there will be appreciation. That's another rule of thumb that we've seen and learned over the years in the condo market.
Wherever there's cash flow there will be appreciation in the future. What I mean by that is investors, investor money, it's like water, it always finds its level. It's money is out there looking for cash flow and where there is cash flow, the money will go. And as the money flows into that particular area, that increase in demand will increase prices until the point where that cash flow is no longer there and present it tends to disappear over time and then that money will flow somewhere else where there's cash flow and the prices rise there and the cycle continues and it goes in waves. So, there is cash flow here right now and so where there's cash flow, we do anticipate and we do expect there to be appreciation as well as more and more investors wake that you can invest here and you can make money and you can actually get cash flow.
Compared to again most pre-construction projects out there right now on paper not giving you cash flow, certainly nothing like it was, again, four or five years ago where there was plenty of opportunities downtown Toronto to find some cash flow. Right now finding cash flow is basically an impossible task. Now, mind you if rental rates continue to rise at a dramatic pace over the next four to five years, there may be cash flow on some of these units, but on paper right now there's not. The beauty of Oakville on paper right now there's cash flow and likely by the time the building finishes, as rents increase, there will be even more cash flow which is very exciting as an investor.
The third reason why I'm excited about this opportunity in investing here is, let's talk about Oakville itself. Oakville is a very unique municipality community city in the GTA whether you realize it or not. If you're familiar with Oakville, if you've lived there or if you live there now, you probably already know what I'm talking about, if you've spent time there, Oakville is the apple if you will of GTA municipalities. It's the premium brand. It is known not just throughout the GTA but across Canada and in some circles around the world the sort of blue chip, gold star suburb of Toronto. That has been the case for a long time and that still is the case. Average real estate prices in Oakville are among the highest in the GTA if you look across all the municipalities of the GTA average prices there right now is about a million dollars so again, if you can purchase a condo for half that or less than half that, the average price in Oakville just based on that fact alone, you know you're gonna do well in the long run.
Some of the most expensive homes in Canada are in Oakville and currently the most expensive listing in Canada is in Oakville at 59 million dollars, a massive mansion down on the lake. It's just really nice in Oakville. I don't know what to tell you. Go there, spend some time, drive around, check out the neighborhoods. It's a great place to live, it's a great place to raise a family. More and more people who don't even have families, single people, couples without kids, are going to Oakville just for quality of life, and it's just a nice place to live, easy to get around, amazing restaurants. It's urban enough, but not too crowded, as many other areas in the 905 have become in recent years. It's close enough to downtown. It's close to the lake. Highway access. It really has all the components that you want, an amazing community. It really does speak for itself.
You look at ratings and rankings of course, it's Oakville's always up there. 2018, MoneySense Magazine best place to live. Number one place to live in Canada was Oakville. Best places to retire in Canada, Oakville's always on those lists as well. Downsizers love Oakville, retirees love Oakville. It's an aspirational community where many people in the GTA sort of look forward to the day where they can afford or aspire to move from wherever they are and move to Oakville. Not many places in the GTA can have that claim to fame and carry that sort of brand. Best schools of course, many, many of the best schools. Not one or two, but many of the best schools in Ontario are all located in Oakville. Both private and public schools equally. Access to downtown. A lot of commuters obviously live in Oakville. What's great, there is an express train from the GO Train in Oakville to Union. It's only 33 minutes or so, 30 minutes, you are from Oakville to Union Station.
I mean, you live in Toronto on the subway line, it can take you 45, 50 minutes, an hour to get to Union Station on the subway. In Oakville, you can get there in half an hour via the popular express train. 80% of Oakville has a post-secondary degree. It's a very highly educated community with a very high average income. This might shock you. The average household income in Oakville is $170,000. Average household income is $170,000 in Oakville. Wow. I was shocked myself when I saw that statistic. That's up. So, 2018 170,000. 2011, it was only $143,000. So, while wages and income growth in most parts of this country in most areas in pretty flat over the last decade, wages, average income in Oakville is up huge over the last few years and again, follow the money as an investor. Where the money is going, that's where good place generally is to invest. That's where there's gonna be good upside and future potential. We're definitely seeing that in Oakville. There's lots of money in Oakville.
Average, by comparison, city of Toronto average household income's around 80k or so, depending on how you look at it. I've seen some numbers average or median up to 100k, but Oakville, 170k. I mean, it's way different sort of a vibe in Oakville compared to most places in the GTA. So, that's the third reason. Number four, why I'm excited about this project is the builder, Minto. With Minto, it's all about buying quality, and buying from a trusted builder with decades and decades of experience. Minto's been around for 60 plus years. Lot of canceled condo projects obviously in the news in the GTA over the last year or two, a lot of builders in over their heads and canceling projects for a number of different reasons. More and more buyers are sort of gravitating and moving towards quality builders and looking, and there's sort of a flight to quality, if you will, happening in the condo market and obviously when you're buying from a builder like Minto, that's exactly what you're getting. You're getting that quality, you're getting that experience, you can trust. You can trust and rest easy you're buying from a great builder.
The building is zoned, it's approved, they're pricing it to sell, they want to start construction this year, they're not messing around. It's just a great experience buying from a builder like Minto. I personally bought from at Minto Westside, Front and Bathurst, and perhaps you have as well listening. A lot of my clients, many, many, many of my clients purchased in this project. I was the number one selling real estate agent in that project. Minto gave us some awards and stuff which was great. So, that was four or five years ago. Now, just this past week, I had my first predelivery inspection on actually my brother's unit in the building, and the building is obviously under construction, it's a construction zone, it's a mess, the unit itself though is absolutely fantastic.
Minto is just on the ball. When you work with a big trusted experienced builder like that, you really get a feel for it when you're taking delivery, possession, occupancy and closing of your condo after waiting, the difference is that's when you really notice the difference between the big builders who know what they're doing and who've got decades of experience, who've built thousands of units versus the smaller builders who don't have this staff support. They're still figuring stuff out. They're often rushing everything at the last second. You go into the units and they're never really in good condition or quite done. There's a long list of things still to do.
Not at all with Minto. You know again, similar to other big builders that I've bought from as well. You go into the suite, doing your inspection, you're trying to find things wrong with the unit for them to fix, and you're in there for half an hour and you just can't find anything. There's nothing, I mean, a couple of little paint touch-ups on the wall is about all you can find, and that's great, and that's what you want, and that's what you always hope for as an investor, and that's what you get when you buy from Minto. So, very excited to be buying from them again. So, those are the four reasons why I'm excited about this. Why I'm in, and hopefully why you should be too.
Now, I want to shift gears and talk about if you're thinking about, you're probably at this point, if you're still listening, you are thinking about getting into this investment, I want to speak specifically to you if you are a brand new investor, if you haven't done this before in the pre-construction market. I want to tell you a couple of big mistakes that you want to avoid. A couple of mistakes to avoid for the new condo investor.
Yeah, it doesn't work like that. There's 1000 people out there who would gladly buy that unit. How many of those? There's not 1000 of those units available. It is a one off unit. Maybe there's two of them. And so the mistake that rookie investors make is they're thinking that I'm only going to win this game of condo investing if I get that unit. Everyone else who buys in this building is a loser. Only the people who get, only the one person who gets that one unit, the starting from unit is a winner and everyone else loses, so give me that or nothing. And that is the exact wrong mentality that you want to have as an investor. What experienced investors know and how they think and play the game is they understand that the goal is not to get that one unit.
And those investors jumped onto those units for a little bit more and what happened? Well, they bought it. They bought it the first release, so they made probably $10,000 in one day right away. Boom. The moment they signed because prices went up the next day. And over the last four years, they probably made about $200,000 as the property of course has appreciated like crazy over the last four years. So, the rookies came in, they wanted that one unicorn type unit. They didn't get it so they walked away. They got nothing. The experienced, successful investors came in, they made $10,000 in a day and they made $200,000 over four years. They weren't obsessed and hung up about a slight difference in price, and that's how you win the game. And that's what seasoned investors know and understand, and that's what rookies unfortunately have to often learn the hard way.
So, if you're listening to this hopefully this will help you avoid having to learn the hard way, and understand how the game is played, and how the game is won. Now, also remember a small difference in price that you're paying of say, 25, $50,000, whatever that number is, if it's a slight bump in the price, more from that so-called starting from unit that so many people get focused on and obsessed with getting, you pay an extra 25, $50,000 in the price, that is only an extra five or $10,000 roughly on the deposit. So, just a little bit more money, five or $10,000 is not a lot of extra money to put in your deposits, to put it to work for three, four years as the condo buildings are being built out. And you're getting in on day one, you're making money right away, and you're making even more money over the long term, and you've just had to put down a slightly larger deposit of just a few thousand dollars.
So, that is the number one mistake I want to share with you. The number two mistake that rookie investors often make, and with these new condo launches is that they wait until all of the information is released before making any decisions, before taking any action. Waiting for everything to come out, all the information to be in their hands right before them before they take any action. So, you gotta understand condo selling 101, the best units in any project go first and those units are almost pre-sold before they're even released. So, the way that happens is that the agents like me talk to their top investor clients and they get those investor clients ready and waiting to go at the moment that those prices and floor plans are released, those investor clients are ready to jump on those best units and take them and claim them for themselves right away.
Okay. So that, again, if you're a rookie, you're probably not able to do that and say that right now and that's okay. You need to learn and build confidence over time. But I'm just letting you know that is how the seasoned, successful investor thinks and that is why the best units go right away because these guys are, and gals are ready to act and jump on stuff immediately without having all the information. They get enough information to make a decision is this gonna be a good one or not. How do the floor plans roughly look? How does the pricing roughly look? How's the deposit structure roughly gonna be? Okay. That's enough information for me to say yes, I'm in. This is the price range I'm looking for. Get me a good unit and I'm good to go. Boom. And that's how the game is played. And so, those are the two big mistakes that I want to help you, if you're a new investor, to avoid.
So again, recapping, don't get too focused on one particular unit, and number two, don't wait until all the information is out and available before taking action, especially with these insider sales events. You gotta take action and you gotta have these conversations with me before all the information is released. So, I want to conclude this podcast by answering the question which, if you're still listening to this point, you are probably very interested in this project and you're wondering, "Okay Andrew. What unit should I buy? What, you know, in this project, you know, I've got the info from you at this point. I've listened to the podcast. I get it. I'm on board. I like it. But what should I buy? I mean, there's a lot of choices in this project. You have a condo building and you also have the stacked town homes. So, two different options with this release. What should I buy?" What should you buy? Well, overall a blanket statement is it's very hard to go wrong with any unit in this project. They have priced, they are going to be pricing things very, very aggressively across the board, whatever the unit is, so it's hard to go wrong in general with anything in the project.
But I would say this in terms of what to focus on, what to buy. Number one, any townhouse. Any townhouse, you're gonna do very, very well with. Why? Well, because first of all the deposit structure on the townhouses is only 50,000 for the cheaper units and 60,000 for the more expensive units. 50 or 60,000 spread out over nine months works out to roughly a 10% deposit or less. For some of the units, the deposit's only like 9%, so for a 9% deposit on something that's not going to be built for three years, you're basically paying current resale prices. It's a no-brainer. It is absolutely a no-brainer to get any townhouse unit and you're gonna do well and those things are gonna fly out the door.
And the second tip, what you should buy, advice I'd have for you, basically when it comes to the condo tower, any unit, the condo tower units are 20%, traditional 20% deposit. But obviously the price points of these, most of the condo tower, are a lot lower than the townhouse units so the actual amount of deposit that you're putting up is still a relatively low number, right, especially compared to anything else in the GTA right now. So, when it comes to the condo tower my advice would be basically any unit in the tower that is going to produce cash flow is a good buy. You should buy any unit in the tower that looks like on a rental basis, it's going to be covering its costs on a cash flow, covering its costs with a traditional 20% down and a 30 year amortization. If you get one of those units then you are, again, going to do very, very well with this investment.
It's very hard to find something like that anywhere in the GTA, so if you can get one, great. So, that pretty much means most of the condo tower qualifies except for a few units. I'd be happy to talk to you further about that in more detail and break things down for you if you are at that point where you're just trying to pick between one or the other. So, there you have it folks. That is the four reasons why I'm excited about this project, Minto Oakvillage. Why I'm investing there myself. And I hope by now that you are also on board with me and coming into this investment too.

Many people believe that in order to recover compensation for a work-related injury that an accident at the workplace must occur. While the Workers' Compensation Act does not require that an "accidental injury" must occur, the courts have taken a very broad view of what that phrase means. These rulings have given a big advantage to persons suffering from repetitive trauma injuries. A repetitive trauma injury is one in which body damage is not done through a sudden incident, but by the gradual damage to the body from repeated stretching, bending, bumping, or striking of certain body parts. A person can recover compensation under the Act if these repeated actions cause damage to the body or aggravate an already existing condition, illness or injury.
Usually, an injured employee had to trace their injury to a specific moment in time where could no longer work or were forced to seek medical treatment. This did not make a lot of sense since it forced working persons to either not recover for such injuries or work until they did serious damage to themselves. It was possible for a person not to recover under the Act merely because they were not wounded enough to have sudden and complete physical breakdown by their job.
The Illinois Supreme Court has taken a more common sense approach to this problem. It is no longer necessary for an injured worker to trace their accident to one specific date, time and place which was the source of their injury. Now, workers can recover for injuries or conditions which have evolved over gradual, or long periods of time as long as they can prove that something from their job played a role in creation of this injury. While frequently an employer may argue that the condition was caused by the normal aging processes, if the employee can show that their job aggravated or worsened the normal aging processes, they are still entitled to recover under the Act.
It should be noted that in workers' compensation cases, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the injury. This means that if an injured person does not file a claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC) within three years of the date of their injury, they can no longer sue their employer for benefits under the Workers' Compensation Act. In a repetitive trauma injury case, the three year time period begins with the date that the injury became plainly apparent. Therefore, persons who have experienced symptoms which could possibly be work-related should take great care to report this condition to their employer and discuss their situation with an attorney. Failure to do so could result in the loss of all rights under the Workers' Compensation Act, no matter how serious the injury eventually ends up.
One of the most common types of repetitive trauma injury is carpal tunnel syndrome. It is caused when repetitive movements of the hand or wrist cause swelling of the tendons in the wrist, creating pressure on the nerve which leads to the hand. The early symptoms of this condition would include tingling or numbness of the fingers, a burning pain or tingling in the hand during the night, and morning stiffness or swelling of the fingers. As the condition advances, there can be complete loss of sensation at the base of the thumb and gradual weakness of the hand with an inability to hold on or grasp objects.
Oter repetitive trauma injuries include bursitis, which is a swelling of the joints, or tendinitis, which is a swelling of the tendons, which usually results froma strain.Virtually every part of the body can be injured from repetitive trauma type situations and great care should be taken to preserve your rights under the Workers' Compensation Act. Otherwise, an injured person could be left without a remedy for a very serious and possibly disabling condition which was incurred in the workplace.

Atkins Family Welcomes New Edition In Today's Nashville Roundup
Carrie Underwood tells Insider magazine that she is a snacker. "If I don't eat something after dinner, I wake up in the middle of the night when I hear one of my sons and I'm like, 'Wow. I'm hungry!'
People magazine says Rodney Atkins and his wife, Rose, are the proud parents of a new baby boy named Scout Falcon. He weighed 11 lb, 8 oz.
Rodney was asked how he came up with his son's name. He said, "Scout came from the first vehicle I ever drove. It was a 1976 International Scout. After 'Watching You' went No. 1, Mike Curb gave me the keys to the '72 Scout that I drove in the video. I've always thought it would be a cool name for a boy, and I still can't believe Rose went for it."
Tim McGraw recently took his daughter, Gracie, on a road trip. They posted videos of themselves singing songs including Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb's "What Kind of Fool"
Wide Open Country claims Justin Timberlake was recently at BB King's in Memphis when he took the stage and sang "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton.
Runaway June's Naomi Cooke tells Sounds Like Nashville that the group's goal is to help women love themselves. "A lot of people tell us, 'Your songs are empowering,' and it's like 'Okay, what are we empowering people to do?' I think one of the things that we would like to see is empowering people to love themselves. It takes you, don't look for it externally, it's all there. Just remember that you're the one, you're where it starts and being independent in all the ways. We've all had to learn that. But that's how we want them to feel empowered."
Dierks Bentley tells The Daily Herald that he loves nature and spending time with his kids when he isn't playing concerts. "I have little adventures I do here and there. I climbed a 14,000-foot mountain in Wyoming … I love to fly fish, but mostly, just catching up with my kids. They're my favorite people to be around. The best way for me to recharge is just being out in nature in some way, so if I can do that with my kids, then it's a double whammy."
Jason Aldean and his family adopted a dog yesterday from a rescue. The dog and his brothers and sisters were found in a drainpipe in St Louis. No word on what the dog's name is.

American Chess Magazine no. 14-15: Mentor to the Stars
ACM combined #14-15 issue boasts a portrait of U.S, team captain IM John Donaldson, as well as members of the most successful American Men's Olympic squad in history.
One of the most important tournaments in the World Championship cycle, the World Cup, held in Khanty-Mansiysk, is covered by GM Robert Hungaski with a special focus on the winner Teimour Radjabov and the runner-up Ding Liren, who, incidentally, will both be competing in the forthcoming World Championship Candidates tournament.
The performance of each of the U.S. representatives is also individually assessed, in particular that of the most successful American player GM Jeffery Xiong, who has had a fantastic 2019 in terms of both results and overall progress. Here we examine Jeffery's play from the perspective of pre-game preparation – a true "behind the scenes" story revealed by his coach Vladimir Georgiev.
Another major tournament report comes from GM Michael Rohde who provides extensive coverage of the FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss Open played on the Isle of Man. Here, the denouement came about in a dramatic last round scenario which resulted in Chinese GM Wang Hao scoring a surprise overall victory on tie-break from Fabiano Caruana and thereby qualifying for the next Candidates tournament. The performances of other U.S. players are also covered as are some rather curious and even amusing episodes from the tournament.
Looking back, our authors faced the difficult task of presenting the most significant chess highlights of the past year.
From the theoretical perspective, GM Ivan Sokolov came to the conclusion that it was the symmetrical openings, 1.e4 e5 and 1.d4 d5, where the most important opening developments took place this year. True, trends are usually set by the elite but the aim of the article is primarily to explain the basic concepts and logical development of these new ideas. Indeed, by presenting a wealth of examples illustrating the implementation of this year's innovations in practical play, the author hopes to make them accessible to competitive players of varying levels of play.
For his contribution, GM John Burke has chosen three outstanding positional victories of the year and analyzed them in great depth, with both explanatory text and concrete lines of play, to demonstrate how strong players patiently and progressively increase an advantage, whilst keeping their opponents under sustained pressure – a sure-fire path to winning chess!
Our regular columnist GM Alex Fishbein does what he does best by dissecting his choice of the top ten endgames of 2019. With his customary modesty, he shares with readers the lessons he has himself learnt from studying these endgames in the hope that any aspiring player will be encouraged to follow his example and improve their technique in this stage of the game, which so often demands the greatest precision in order to achieve an optimum result.
To conclude our overview of the year, GM Joel Benjamin focuses on the players and performances that have attracted attention in 2019, both at home and abroad. Girls and boys, youngsters and seniors, strong and not so strong are all given a mention as are those behind the current boom in the American chess scene.
To show our commitment that the pages of American Chess Magazine are open not only to elite grandmasters, we start a new column devoted to unsung heroes – with IM Justin Sarkar getting the show on the road with his real life story of how has been able to achieve victory over adversity through the medium of chess.

Noida-based Advacells says it has the technology to prepare the body with stem cell stimulation and growth factors before the actual stem cell transplant and intends to file a patent for it.
Advancells is offering solutions in the fields of neurological conditions, chronic kidney diseases, liver diseases, cardiology, infertility and cosmetic procedures.
Vipul Jain, CEO and founder of Advancells, spoke to BW Businessworld on the challenges and tasks ahead for his company.
What is Advancells and what task do you perform?
Advancells is a research oriented company engaged in providing therapeutic solutions using the regenerative properties of adult stem cells to treat various life threatening and life style diseases.
One of the pioneer cells companies in India, we are passionate about the almost limitless potential of human stem cells in providing natural cure. We work closely with some best medical practitioners and world class medical centres.
Advancells is backed by doctors, stem cells expert, clinical research scientists. Our ultimate focus is to bring innovations and make people more advanced and open minded towards technology. We are into natural care therapy which is a harmless and safe procedure.
How important is it to do original work in this area?
It is very important as you have to set precedence and create protocols that are original based on lots of R&D. There is added responsibility to deliver results when you are still in research phase, and it also becomes important for us to create a positive awareness among the target masses. Because we are still in our research and experimental phase and we are pioneer in this field, it's our prime focus to give best results.
Tell us about the stem cell stimulation technology?
Stem cells are always present in the body but are present in pockets. Stimulation helps in unlocking those pockets and get the cells into circulation so they can be collected for targeted delivery. Stem cells have the ability to provide remarkable repair, renewal and anti-ageing abilities throughout a person's entire life. Stem cells give rise to tissue and organ in the body, and the approach in harvesting, cultivating and re-infusing them into own system is expensive and it's not affordable for an average person.
What are the challenges which you face?
Government regulations and refusal of acceptance of the science by many medical practitioners are the biggest challenges. So acceptance and awareness of the therapy is very less. We are trying to create awareness among our target masses. It will take some time to accept the therapy as this is new and not accepted by government.
What are the inhibitions that government and people have over stem cell replacement therapy?
The industry is still new and both government and patients are looking for more substantial data which will take more years to come.
Patients want guaranteed cures but we can't promise that at this point. It will take some time to create awareness and acceptance amongst the target masses, but we are on the right path we are getting good results in many diseases. People are new to this therapy and they are doubtful about its safety.
What is the price that you charge from a patient?
We give a package in the range of Rs 150,000 to Rs 300,000. We treat 10-15 patients every month, and expecting an increase in numbers in the coming months.
What is the size of the company in terms of revenue and how have you grown over the years?
We hope to close the books at around $1 million revenue and have grant in triple digits over the past 3 years of existence.

Who is the oldest baby boomer?
What year will most baby boomers retire?
What was the oldest generation?
Out of all generations in the workplace, millennials are struggling the most when it comes to their finances, due to high student loan debt and lack of savings, according to a new study. They also display lower financial literacy than older working-age adults, the study finds.
A new Wells Fargo study suggests that millennials (ages 20-36) link satisfaction and happiness with stability and financial responsibility. About a third of participants are satisfied with their financial status and 62% felt happy overall, with 65% using the word "meaningful" to describe their lives.
What makes Traditionalists happy? — Loyalty. As they enter their twilight years, they are devoting time to family and leaving their loved ones with a legacy of loyalty for generations to come.
Here's Why The 90s Kids Generation Is The Happiest Generation In Our Country. The 90s kids are arguably the happiest people you'll find in our country. They're more content and innovative than your "average Joe" millennials and much less frustrated than the oldies from the 70s and 80s.
Millennials are facing a shortfall compared to other generations when it comes to their paychecks. Overall, millennials earn 20% less than baby boomers did at the same stage of life, according to "The Emerging Millennial Wealth Gap," a recent report from the nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank New America.
Thanks to the Great Recession, the average millennial lost about 13 percent of their earnings between 2005 and 2017, Rinz found. That's worse than Gen X's 9 percent setback and almost double the 7 percent loss faced by baby boomers.
A Millennial is anyone born between 1980 and 1995. In the U.S., there are roughly 80 million Millennials. A member of Gen Z is anyone born between 1996 and the early-mid 2000s (end date can vary depending on source).
Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012/15. They are currently between 6 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.)
The conservative radio host Bob Lonsberry went as far as labeling the word "boomer" as "the N-word of ageism" in a controversial and soon deleted tweet. Furthermore, Lonsberry stated that "being hip and flip does not make bigotry OK, nor is a derisive epithet acceptable because it is new".
An article by Rice Media shares how the older generations believe that 'hard work' is the number of work hours clocked instead of efficiency and productivity. They grew up with the mentality that they should make personal sacrifices and always take the safest route.
Baby boomers got their name from a phenomenon known as the baby boom. This boom was a spike in birth rates after World War II. In the United States, around 3.4 million babies were born in 1946, more than ever before in United States history.
The Internet Generation name is in reference to the fact that this is the first generation to have been born after the popularization of the Internet. In Japan, the cohort is described as Neo-Digital Natives, a step beyond the previous cohort described as Digital Natives.
(The youngest baby boomers, born in 1964, turned or will turn 55 this year.) "Labor force participation rate is expected to increase fastest for the oldest segments of the population — most notably, people aged 65 to 74 and 75 and older — through 2024," the BLS said in 2017.
Born after World War II, from 1946 to 1964, the oldest boomers will turn 74 next year. When the last census was taken in 2010, the oldest had not even turned 65. Since then, about 10,000 a day have crossed that age threshold and by 2030, all boomers will be at least age 65.

Q: Array of objects initialization? I want to create an array of objects as mentioned in this answer:
Creating an array of objects in Java
i.e initialize one at a time like
A[] a = new A[4];
a[0] = new A();

My class definition:
public class Question {
    private int mAnswer;
    private String mQuestion;
    private String[] mOptions;

    public Question(String question, int answer, String[] option){
        mQuestion = question;
        mAnswer = answer;
        mOptions = option;
    }

    public int getmAnswer() {
        return mAnswer;
    }

    public String getmQuestion() {
        return mQuestion;
    }

    public String[] getmOptions() {
        return mOptions;
    }
};

My Java Activity:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

import static android.R.attr.x;

public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
    }
    String[] options1 = {"ABCD", "EFGH", "IJKL", "MNOP"};
    String[] options2 = {"Bangalore", "Delhi", "Mumbai", "Pune"};
    String[] options3 = {"Business", "Work", "Nothing", "Study"};

    Question[] ques = new Question[3];

    ques[0] = new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1);

    ques[1] = new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2);

    ques[2] = new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3);

}

But the initializations :
    ques[0] = new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1);

    ques[1] = new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2);

    ques[2] = new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3);

give me an error. These lines get underlined RED giving me all of the following errors for each line:

-Identifier expected
-Invalid method declaration; return type required
-Missing method body, or declare abstract
-Parameter expected
-Unexpected token
-Unknown class: 'ques'

I have no errors when I use:
Question[] ques = new Question[]{new Question("What is your Name?", 2, options1), new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2),new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3)};

Why is that happening?
I have no idea where I am going wrong. I'm a beginner in Android and Java.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

A: You can't define below lines anywhere in class instead should be moved to some method
ques[0] = new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1);
ques[1] = new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2);
ques[2] = new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3);

You probably can have a method name getQuestions move it inside
public Question[] getQuestions ()
{
    String[] options1 = {"ABCD", "EFGH", "IJKL", "MNOP"};
    String[] options2 = {"Bangalore", "Delhi", "Mumbai", "Pune"};
    String[] options3 = {"Business", "Work", "Nothing", "Study"};

    Question[] ques = new Question[3];

    ques[0] = new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1);

    ques[1] = new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2);

    ques[2] = new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3);

    return ques;
}

A: So you are using a static array instead of an ArrayList which you should be using to store objects (a string can go in either, but it's easier in an ArrayList). The main difference besides being used for objects is ArrayLists are also dynamic (objects can be added or removed).
Do the following:
ArrayList<Question> list = new ArrayList<Question>();
list.add(new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1));
list.add(new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2));
list.add(new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3));

To access the objects in the arrayList (the 0th for example), simply do:
list.get(0);

The main issue here on the other hand though is that you are assigning values to your list in the class, and not within a method.
Make a method to use for assigning values to your list and I do not believe it will crash anymore. Something like what Ravi did above:
public Question[] getQuestions ()
{
// code for assigning the values that I wrote above.
}

A: You should prefer Collections over arrays.
having sad this, you could use a different form of array initialization:
Question[] ques = new Question[/*no size here*/] { // curly brace insteadof semicolon
    ques[0] = new Question("What is your name?", 2, options1) , // comma instead of semicolon
    ques[1] = new Question("Where are you from?", 3, options2),
    ques[2] = new Question("What do you do?", 4, options3) // no comma at last entry
} // closing brace added

Q: Require a module as if its module is the module you are requiring it from I'd like require a module and somehow pass in the current module, or something like that, such that the module being required has the properties of the module requiring it.
For example if I have a file I'm requiring:
(function(global) {
  console.log(this.exists);
}(this));

And am requiring it like so:
this.exists = "I exist.";
var myFile = require("my-file"); // Somehow make require pass in 'this'.

The file being required should be able to see this.exists since I've passed this into the require function somehow. I'm not sure if this is possible. I would think you would need to fiddle with the different module objects.
The one constraint of this is that the module being required can't have any nodejs specific things, like code to export it on the module. It has to stay the same as the way I've written it.
Edit:
Turns out there is no way to do this exactly the way I want to. There have been some awesome suggestions on how to do this in other ways, though.

A: I had to do something similar to this once... best way I figured out was through a level of indirection.
Part1:
define(function() {
    "use strict";

    function init() {
        console.log("this = " + this);
    }

    return init;
});

Part2:
var myFileInit = require("my-file");
var myFile = myFileInit.init.call(this);

Edit: Another possibility
Create a wrapper for the original module:
// my-file-wrapper
define(["my-file"], function(myFunc) {
    "use strict";

    function init() {
        myFunc.call(this);
    }

    return init;
});

// Elsewhere
var myFileWrapper = require("my-file-wrapper");
var myFile = myFileInit.init.call(this);


I decided to go ahead and try to complete one of my other goals for 2014 which is to read at least one book on parenting this year. I went to a homeschool curriculum sale recently and found this book. The mother selling it said the ideas and concepts, for her, were revolutionary and really changed the way she related to and parented her children.
Hmm… that's a pretty good review and she was only selling the DVD presentation and book for $6. Seems worth it to give it a try! Brian and I watched the first session together and thought it was good, but not great. We also questioned some of his theology in the process.
I did read the whole book and I wouldn't really recommend it. There was quite a bit I didn't necessarily agree with, especially Silk's view of God and His relationship to humanity, parents and children. Even though I didn't like the book as a whole, there were two big concepts that have been helpful for me.
1. "Yellow trucking" your children.
This photo illustrates what I will try to explain. The basic concept is bulling or top downing our children into doing what we want them to do. Punishing to get the behavior we desire. Giving strict boundaries on behavior for behaviors sake and not getting at the heart of the issue.
This was a good reminder to me. I needed the swift kick in the pants to stop having a god complex and telling my children what to do because it's what I, as self appointed god, think they need to do. There are areas that need a strong hand, but most areas of life are options and have a lot of God given freedom… we need to train and help our children manage the freedom they have in Christ.
That leads me to the second point.
2. Giving your children choices and options instead of demanding absolute, but passive obedience.
As I've started to use this manor of relating to her, when it's an option, it's amazing how much better she does. She has feelings, opinions and convictions and I need to take the time to talk to her and hear her heart. As I've tried really hard to do this I've found that not only does she make good choices (for the most part) on her own, but then when I need her to obey, she does a much better job of not only doing it, but doing it cheerfully!
So… If you can understand those points you don't need to read the book…. but if you want more info about them or more details, then read it, but with a grain of salt. Read it with a critical eye and evaluate for yourself all that he says.
I hope you found this helpful! If you've read this book, or have seen his presentations, I'd love to know what you think!

Mortada Mansour sentenced to one month in prison: Khatib's lawyer
Al-Masry Al-YoumAugust 11, 2022
The Economic Misdemeanors Court of Appeals sentenced Mortada Mansour, president of the Zamalek Club, to one month in prison with hard labor over insulting and defaming Al-Ahly club president Mahmoud al-Khatib.
"The Economic Misdemeanors Court of Appeal, headed by judge Adham Fehem…amended the sentence against Mostada Mansour from one year in prison to one month in prison with hard labor," Mohamed Othman, the legal advisor to Al-Ahly Club, said, on his Facebook page.
Three other cases are still under investigation by the Public Prosecutor, with the same accusations from Khatib against Mansour, including a video recorded for the Mansour in which he said that Egypt has no men, Othman said in exclusive statements to Al-Masry Al-Youm.
Mansour wrote, through his account on Twitter, after the prison sentence was issued: "After a short time, a video and audio statement for Counselor Mortada Mansour, president of the Zamalek Club."
