Sentence deferred for man who stole drink
Published: 11:24 Monday 08 July 2019
A 34-year-old man who struggles with alcohol has been given until early next year to stay out of trouble and avoid a prison sentence.
Gary McConaghy, Downshire Avenue, Lurgan, admitted stealing a bottle of Disaronno Liqueur from Sainsbury's on April 29 this year.
The case was adjourned until last Friday at Craigavon Magistrates Court to get a pre-sentence report.
The court heard that police were called to Sainsbury's in Rushmere after a shoplifter had been detained.
CCTV showed McConaghy lifting the bottle and putting it in his jacket before zipping it up and leaving the store without paying.
Miss Siun Downey, representing the defendant, said from her client's record it could be seen that the vast majority of his offending was from late 2017 when he started to struggle with alcohol and his mental health.
She added that he had been working at Asda but because of his addiction he handed in his notice.
Miss Downey explained that McConaghy had gone on a three day binge and had no idea why he took the drink because he had the money to pay for it.
She added that it was probably due to his level of intoxication. He was in breach of a suspended sentence which was for not similar offences.
Miss Downey asked the judge not to interfere with her client's liberty as he was attending with community addictions and regularly attending appointments.
District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, told McConaghy that she was going to defer sentencing until January 3 next year.

The mobile revolution is changing how we work. To stay productive at all times, business users are increasingly demanding 24x7 access to enterprise data from a wide range of personal mobile devices. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is becoming the rule rather than the exception in the modern workplace.
For IT professionals, explosive BYOD growth comes with an explosive management headache around security. While they continue to wrestle with device management, malware, and app management, one top concern is user behavior.
Learn the challenges that risky user behavior brings to BYOD programs and how to resolve the issues.


Southend boss Phil Brown has called for assistant referee Barry Gordon to be "struck off" for his role in awarding a penalty in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Bury.
Ryan Lowe hit the winner after Sam McQueen was adjudged to have handled.
"I'm not one for stopping people from working, but [the assistant] needs to be struck off," Brown told BBC Essex.
"(Referee) Trevor Kettle didn't see a penalty, so why has he given it? Because his assistant has put his flag across his chest."
Brown added: "That's an absolutely disgraceful decision. The 93rd minute of the last game of the season and he makes a decision like that.
"The referee didn't see a handball so he should have taken control of the game. He's the man in charge, it's up to him whether he makes the decision, if it goes against the home team, it doesn't matter if it's the right decision.
"He's gone with the [assistant referee]. How they can sleep at night is beyond me."
The Football League told BBC Sport it is "aware of an incident involving Brown and assistant referee Gordon and it is now in the hands of the Football Association".
Victory saw the Shakers end the season 14th in League One, one point and one place above their opponents, who lost their final five matches of the season.
Brown continued: "Bury have gone above us, that's what's a disgrace about it. We are a better team than Bury and we showed that today.
"We had numerous chances to win this game of football. Sam McQueen had a tap in that they cleared off the line, [David] Mooney's hit the bar, [David] Worrall's hit the post."
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Southend midfielder Jack Bridge has signed a two-year contract extension after making two first-team appearances this season.

Old Middletown High School
NRHP Reference # 85001826
Area 4,047 m²
Added to NRHP 23 August 1985
Location 251 Court Street, Middletown, Connecticut
Built 1894 - 1896 Jasper Tryon (carpenter); Watson Tryon & Son (masons)

The Old Middletown High School building in Middletown, Connecticut, in the United States, occupies the southwest corner of Court and Pearl streets. It is situated in a modestly scaled 19th century urban residential neighborhood. Although integrated into its surroundings, the old high school stands out because of its size and Romanesque Revival style.
Current use and condition
Built in 1894-1896, this building was Middletown's second high school. The Hartford firm of Curtis & Johnson designed the structure in Romanesque Revival style. The building for which no expense was spared in materials or design, set an innovative standard for the educational facilities of its day.
The use of different materials (Pompeian brick, brownstone, and terra cotta) produces a rich textural effect on the exterior. A turret on the northeast corner, the use of round compound arches, and an overall asymmetrical plan are typical of Romanesque Revival.
In 1912 a large wing designed by Charles Scranton Palmer of Meriden was added to the south side of the building. This wing closely repeated the materials and stylistic elements of the existing structure. A second large wing containing a library, auditorium, and gymnasium was added to the west side in 1931. Although it incorporates some Romanesque details such as sound compound arched windows and utilized materials compatible to the original, the overall impression is of a separate and distinct construction.
The old high school is one of the few monumental civic buildings of the 19th century remaining in Middletown and the only one of the Romanesque style. It ceased operation as a high school in 1973.
In 1978 the high school was converted into elderly housing apartments and the structure remains in good condition.
In 2007 Middletown High School #2 off of Newfield Street was replaced by MHS #3 that was built in front of MHS #2 before #2 was torn down. The old building is still elderly housing on the corner of Court and Pearl Streets.

Interpreters will include a parsing stage similar to that of the compiler, but this is then used to drive direct execution, with the program being run immediately.
The simplest interpreter has within it executable code corresponding to the various features the language supports—so it will have functions for adding numbers, joining strings, whatever else a given language has. As it parses the code, it will look up the corresponding function and execute it. Variables created in the program will be kept in some kind of lookup table that maps their names to their data.
In some cases, the source code is executed line by line by a software called interpreter. Interpreted languages are often slow than the compiled languages because of a number of reasons. It is because the source should be executed line by line. Also the interpreted languages like python and even Java, C# have a number of advanced facilities like dynamic typing, type checking, extensive type information which would be stored in the interpreter reduces the performance of the interpreted applications. Another disadvantage is that one should have the interpreter installed in the computer unless the interpreter is embedded in the software which may increase the size of the package. For example, Blender has embedded python interpreter.
To sum it up in a couple of sentences, this method provides the slowest performance as it does no pre-compilation. It also requires an Interpreter be installed in order to run the code.
In terms of speed, the next step up from Interpreted code is Bytecode.
Bytecode is a lower level language than the original source code and therefore it runs quicker than the Interpreted option mentioned above. A huge benefit Bytecode has over compiled code is that it is platform and architecture independent. This means that it can run on any CPU architecture without modification. This is made possible through the use of a Virtual Machine (VM) – more on this later.
If you're using Python and have write access to the directory which contains your script, a Bytecode file (.pyc) will be created when you run your code. This is done so that when you next run your code, the Bytecode file can be used instead of your source code which will result in quicker execution times.
On a side note, because the .pyc file is a complete (optimised) copy of your code, you can actually run it directly instead of using your original .py file.
Having said this, if you do not have write access to the directory, the .pyc is loaded into your computer's memory and discarded when your script is terminated.
The java virtual machine (JVM) interprets the Byte Code into an instruction that is understandable by the specific architecture the program is running on. There is JVM for every major architecture and operating system so the code you write on Windows will be interpreted and run on MAC-OS or linux without any source level modification by you. That is why Java is portable and that is where the Write Once Run Everywhere motto comes from.
In other words, Bytecode created on a Window system will work on Linux, OSX, etc systems as well without any manual intervention. Note that while the above answer is related to Java, the same is true for all languages which provide a VM.
"Just In Time" compilers differ from "Ahead of Time" (AOT) in that the former compiles Bytecode while the latter compiles source code. The other difference is that JIT compiles the Bytecode just before your application is run, hence the name "Just in Time".
Given that JIT compiles its code, it's easy to see why they're faster than interpreters who execute their code one line at a time. What might not be so obvious is the fact that JIT can actually be faster than compiled code. You might be wondering: How is that possible given that compiled code is code that is native to the CPU? How can anything be faster than that!?!
Well, the problem with compiled code is that in order to ensure your application works on all CPUs of a specific architecture, e.g 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64), the compiler cannot use processor and/or vendor specific optimisations otherwise it will break compatibility with the CPUs which do not have these features. On the other hand, JIT is able to identify the CPU that's running the code and implement optimisations which are specific to that chip. This results in better optimisation and therefore faster execution than what you'd see if the code was compiled AOT.

Last week as mom and I were leaving my 38 week appointment she made the comment that I hadn't done any maternity photos. To be honest, the thought of dressing up and holding my belly and being all "here's me looking all angelic while holding my belly and looking off into the corner" doesn't sound too appealing when you're hugely pregnant and uncomfortable and just not really feeling it. However, I texted my mom friend/photog pal Shannon and luckily she was available to come snap some pics that weekend. I wasn't feeling it at the time (as said), but I'm so glad now that I'll have these photos to look back on, and to show our daughter someday!
It's been a while since I've posted, but before I have this baby I thought I'd share a 39 week pregnancy update! Also, see below for a fun giveaway to PinkBlush!
When I was pregnant with George I had terrible edema (swelling) from like week 23 on. It was pretty annoying and at times miserable (not to mention not the sexiest), but it was the main symptom I had to contend with. So looking back, that pregnancy seems like a cake walk.
I thought that I had escaped that this pregnancy, but this week it has been back in full force. The bad thing is, I'm such a baby about it… When I get home from work all I want to do is soak in a tub and put my feet up. Which would be fine and all, but I have a sweet little two year old who really needs mommies attention! I've definitely started to feel some of the mom guilt over not giving him less attention, and I know it will only get worse once the baby comes, but I also realize that a bit of that guilt is normal.
I thought the whole aversion to smells thing only happened in the first trimester, but it has been back in full force!! A few weeks ago I was on a tour of the construction site where I work, and the smells from some of the welding equipment (so I was told, I'm clueless) really sent me over the edge. I looked over at my coworker and gave him the "get me out of here!" eye. Luckily we moved on to another room and everything was fine, but it was a real internal freakout moment for me lol.
Oh, and once again, baby diapers. Lately (if I'm lucky!) I just make Geordie or my mom change them, cause again, pregnant diva.
At this point in the pregnancy I'm all about comfort. Leggings and maternity jeans (all from Target) and a few loose tops are what I'm mostly wearing lately. For maternity dresses and nicer clothes I really like the cute maternity clothes from PinkBlush. The dress I'm wearing in these photos is PinkBlush and I love that it's so soft and that I'll be able to wear it after I have the baby too! Also, huge plus that it's nursing friendly!
No specific cravings right now, but we have been eating so much junk lately! I'm actually looking forward to getting back to eating healthy/clean when the baby comes cause I just feel so gross lately. It's kinda funny cause at around 36 weeks all the baby sites say,… "you'll probably stop gaining weight from now until the baby arrives!" and I'm like oh great, I'll stop gaining weight now! Needless to say, those baby sites don't tell you that you might still be hangry and have cravings all the time. So the pounds I gained in the first two trimesters were warranted, but the last 5 pounds this last month are made up of cheetos and Cookout milkshakes. OOPS. I have big babies, what can I say??
I've had pretty strong Braxton Hicks contractions since about 36 weeks, but they are mostly just annoying. At my last appointment I was not dilated and the baby was still sitting up high, so I'm hoping when I go back this week I will have made some progress! However, I'm trying not to obsess too much over that stuff. I wasn't dilated at all at my 40 week appt with George, and I ended up going into labor with him and having him the next day on his due date! Hopefully I'll have the same luck with this baby!
Also, I have seen some increases in pelvic pain this week so I'm hoping that means she's dropped some. Fingers crossed!
WHAT DOES GEORGE THINK ABOUT THE BABY?
Share the post "39 Week Pregnancy Update and PinkBlush Giveaway"
Such a great post, you are so close to having that baby! Can't wait to see what she looks like.

15 Dividend Stocks Sending More Cash To Shareholders
Any income investor will tell you that it is important for a company to sustain its dividend. However, as an investor in dividend growth stocks, it is not enough to simply sustain the dividend – I want to own companies that are capable of sustained dividend growth. Needless to say, this is a little more difficult to accomplish, but well-worth the time to find companies that can deliver on this expectation.

7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8 The king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite; 9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the Lord, and the seven of them perished together. They were put to death in the first days of harvest, at the beginning of barley harvest.
David "sought the face of the Lord" in the face of three successive years of famine. How do I respond when I am in a situation beyond my control?
Reflect on the consequences of Saul's sin.
Reflect on the loving actions of David bringing "the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan" and "the bones of those who were hanged" and giving them a proper burial after such a tragic episode. What lesson is here about the proper course of action in the midst of tragedy?

Saliva-based testing for COVID-19
Testing for COVID-19 still requires several days to obtain results. Molecular tests that detect the RNA from the virus are accurate but require lab-based equipment and technical expertise. The Verma lab is developing a molecular test for SARS-CoV-2 that detects the RNA and produces a color change in less than one hour. Using saliva as the sample, this test is easier to use at the point-of-care. In addition, all the reagents required for the test are stored in paper-based devices to simplify the operation of the test such that the user only needs to add the sample. In this webinar, Dr. Verma will share the development and current status of this test.
Bio: Dr. Verma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. He completed a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship (2015-2017) at Professor George Whitesides' Laboratory in Harvard University. He received his PhD (as a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar) in Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) from the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Professor Frank Gu in 2015. He completed his Bachelor of Applied Science in Nanotechnology Engineering at the University of Waterloo in 2012. His research interests include biosensors, microbiome, and soft robotics.

"Avengers: Endgame" Directors Reveal What Actually Happened to the Infinity Stones
Now that Avengers: Endgame has been released out into the world. Millions of fans finally have seen the events that conclude 22 films in the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film directors are also starting to share a bunch of little nuggets of information out for fans.
Through interviews and Q&A's, the Russo Brothers are dishing on a ton of details from Endgame, including the whereabouts of all-powerful Infinity Stones. While it seems like the film told you one thing about these highly-sought-after-objects, it turns out that there were more to the story than we thought. Thanks to Joe and Anthony Russo, we now have a little more insight.
WARNING: This article contains major spoilers. Continue reading at your own risk.
The majority of Endgame is spent on a quest through time to get the Infinity Gems from various points in the past. And that is because Thanos used the stones to destroy themselves in the present. The act of ridding the universe of these stones almost killed the Mad Titan, but it also crushed any hope of the Avengers using them to bring back the people that were snapped away. Since the stone no longer existed, the only opportunity to use them again was in the past. Or so we thought.
On last Tuesday night, during a Q&A in Washington D.C., the Russo Brothers were asked about the Infinity Stones, especially a potential plot hole regarding what the Ancient One told Bruce Banner/Hulk. She mentioned that the Infinity Stones were crucial to the flow of time. And if that's true, how was Thanos able to completely destroy them?
As it turns out, he did not.
"Thanos only reduced the stones to an atomic level," the directors revealed. "These stones are still present in the universe."
So, as it stands now, these Infinity Stones are still floating around in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the end of Avengers: Endgame and beyond. Whether or not they will ever be used again in the future, we need to wait and let's see.
Avengers: Endgame is playing in theaters now.
Only Five Movies Have Grossed Over $2 Billion and Zoe Saldana Is In Three Of Them
"Avengers: Endgame" Officially Sinks Titanic, Reaches #2 on All-time Global Box Office List With Over $2 Billion
Avengers: Endgame is now on Avatar's tail at the global box office. The Marvel Studios' flick has earned another $2.8 million this weekend, bringing its worldwide box office total to $2.781 billion. At this time of writing, that puts Endgame's box office behemoth a mere $7 million shy of typing Avatar's $2.788 billion box office record.
Check out the chart below.
(Photo: Box Office Mojo – Updated: July 15, 2019)
For his part, Avengers: Endgame co-director Anthony Russo is trying not to think about whether the movie will catch or top Avatar.
"I mean, look at it, I know it sounds very sensational, and all but I try not to focus on it because there is no – even if we do not pass Avatar, there is no way I want to have a shred of regret about anything associated with this movie," the filmmaker said at the MTV Awards. "So I refuse to kind of consider it, you know?"
However, Avengers: Endgame already passed Avatar to becoming the second highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office. After being re-released in theaters, Endgame returned to the domestic box office top 10. The movie earned another $1.69 million in North America this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $851 million.
During a press tour for Avengers: Endgame, directors Anthony and Joe Russo expressed, "We poured our hearts and soul into Avengers: Endgame, hoping to tell a story that would inspire audiences around the world. Our family of cast and crew all felt honored to be entrusted with bringing the Infinity Saga to a close. To Kevin Feige, everyone at Marvel and Disney, and the incredible, global community of fans, thank you."
Avengers: Endgame is now being re-released in select theaters. The film will be hitting digital on July 30 and available in Blu-ray on August 13.

The latest crossover event from Marvel Studios has brought about dramatic changes for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including some facts that will drastically alter the future of the franchise. Avengers: Endgame sees two of the "Big Three" taken off the board, with the death of Tony Stark/Iron Man and the "retirement" of Steve Rogers/Captain America, but Thor also has a major change in his status quo as well.
One of the changes to Chris Hemsworth's character saw his normally chiseled physique being effectively snapped away. And after a time jump, we are introduced to a more robust version of the God of Thunder. While fans have affectionately referred to this character as "Fat Thor," the special features for Endgame seemingly now gives him an official name: Bro Thor.
The special featurette announced for Avengers: Endgame goes by the name "Bro Thor," as described:
"His appearance has changed, but his heroism remains! Go behind the scenes to see how Bro Thor was created."
This name is pretty applicable as it does not just describe Thor's physical stature, but does more to explain his state of mind instead. After killing Thanos and the five-year time travel, Thor's priorities shift toward playing Fornite with his best pals Meek and Korg while attempting to drink every bottle of beer in Norway.
And the end of the film sees Thor reignite his heroic fire as he joins the Guardians of the Galaxy. Though it is not clear yet of Chris Hemsworth has actually joined the cast of this popular Marvel series, the actor is hopeful that he will appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
"I would play that character [Thor] again. I love it so much, especially if there is something unique to do with it again. I really felt like the last three films were very different each time. And it felt like a totally different character. But I don't even know when or if they are shooting [Guardians 3]," Chris Hemsworth said.
"I will work with any of those guys. Asgardians of the Galaxy. That is actually great! You might have just got me my next job. Thank you, man."
Avengers: Endgame hits digital HD on July 30 and Blu-ray/DVD on August 13.

It looks like Avengers: Endgame might be able to beat Avatar's massive box office record after all. The movie has lost the majority of its momentum by now, almost two months after its initial release, but Avengers: Endgame is about to get another major boost to ticket sales. No, it is not just because Spider-Man: Far From Home is arriving in theaters in July. Avengers: Endgame is indeed hitting theaters for a second round, along with some additional footage that did not make it into the official cut in April.
While attending the press junket for Spider-Man: Far From Home in London, Brandon Davis from Comicbook had a chance to speak exclusively with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who confirmed that Avengers: Endgame would be heading back to the big screen for a theatrical re-release. Not only that, this version of the film will arrive with extra scenes that were not included in the first theatrical release.
"We're doing that," Kevin Feige said of an Endgame re-release with new footage. "I don't know if it has been announced. And I don't know how much… Yeah, we are doing it next weekend."
So, Avengers: Endgame is now coming back to the big screen with new footage, which is an incredibly exciting announcement given the hype around the film. What's even more exciting is the fact that Endgame is arriving next weekend, and fans can see it again before the premiere of Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 2.
This action should also help Avengers: Endgame tackle the immense box office hurdle that is James Cameron's Avatar. As of Wednesday morning, Avatar still holds the global box office record of all time with $2.788B. Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame is very close to that number, with a current total of $2.750B. It has looked as though the final chapter of this Infinity Saga would not be able to topple Cameron's sci-fi epic, but the re-release with new unseen footage could do the trick.
And remember to be on the lookout for a new version of Avengers: Endgame next weekend!
One last time. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
"Avengers: Endgame:" The Second Movie Ever to Cross $800 Million Domestically
And just like that, Avengers: Endgame has reached another milestone.
Thanks to an extended holiday weekend, the latest Marvel Studios film eventually has become the second movie ever to cross $800 million at the domestic box office. In the fifth weekend in theaters, Avengers: Endgame has grossed north of $803.63 million domestically, strengthening its second spot in the market of all time.
This weekend has been exceptionally kind to the movie after a series of the larger-than-typical week over week drops. Dropping over 50% in each of the first four weekends, the four-day weekend allowed Avengers: Endgame to mark just a 25,6% drop over last weekend's gross over $29.97 million. In total, Endgame earned an estimated $22.3 million stateside this weekend.
Despite crossing $800 million domestically, Avengers: Endgame still trails Star Wars: The Force Awakens by a healthy $133 million, an uphill battle as the Marvel property heads deeper into its theatrical release. Globally, Endgame is just $103 million away from Avatar's highest-grossing film title, something that industry experts anticipate will not happen until Labor Day weekend, if this blockbuster can stick it out in theaters that long.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Danai Gurira as Okoye and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, with Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper Potts, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Benedict Wong as Wong, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Josh Brolin as Thanos.
Avengers: Endgame now continues its box office run as the film moves into the second month in theaters. And the Avengers flick will be followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 2 while Captain Marvel will be released digitally on May 28 ahead of a home media release on June 11.
"Avengers: Endgame" Officially Surpasses Avatar at All-Time Domestic Box Office
Avengers: Endgame has officially passed Avatar, becoming the second-highest grossing film ever at the domestic box office. Its total now stands at a whopping $780 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens remains the highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office with $936.6 million.
Avengers: Endgame is also the second-highest grossing film of all time worldwide. It has earned $2.56 billion globally, passing James Cameron's Titanic. At the worldwide box office, now Endgame still trails Avatar's $2.78 billion total by $224 million.
Opening with $350 million domestically and $1.2 billion worldwide, Avengers: Endgame immediately became a threat for the all-time box office crowns. Crossing the $2 billion mark in just the blink of an eye, the movie remains on pace to surpass Avatar and top the $2.7 billion worldwide gross of the 2009 sci-fi epic. As Endgame inches closer to that milestone, it has just beaten James Cameron's film in the U.S.
(Box Office Mojo chart – Updated: May 19, 2019)
During a press release issued when Avengers: Endgame had its first $1 billion global opening in box office history, Walt Disney Studios chairman, Alan Horn, said, "Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios team have continued to challenge notions of what is possible at the movie theatre both in terms of storytelling and at the box office."
"Though Avengers: Endgame is far from an end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these first 22 movies constitute a sprawling achievement, and this weekend's monumental success is a testament to the world they have envisioned, the talent involved, and their collective passion, matched by the irrepressible enthusiasm of fans around the world."
So, what do you think about this record of Avengers: Endgame? Let us know in the comments!
Avengers: Endgame is still playing in theaters. Other upcoming MCU film is Spider-Man: Far From Home which swings into theaters on July 2.
Captain Marvel Suit in "Avengers: Endgame" Was Entirely CG
After the debut in her own film in the last few months, Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), better known as Captain Marvel, certainly made an impression on the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Endgame. She brought the superpower she promised, with a sweet new haircut and an updated take on her classic suit as well. However, as it turns out, Carol did not always have that suit in Endgame. In fact, the whole thing was added in the post-production process.
After the release of Endgame, during an interview with Weta Digital's Matt Aitken, a VFX supervisor on the film, when the topic of working Captain Marvel into the story came up, Aitken explained there were actually some changes made after they shot her initial scenes.
Remember, most of Avengers: Endgame was shot before Captain Marvel, and Brie Larson filmed all of her scenes for the film in the same suit she wore for her solo outing. And when everything came together, the creative team thought it was strange if the character had the same suit for 25 years, so they ended up making a suit on their computers and added it to Carol in post.
"She was filmed with here physical costume with a great costume from the costume department, but after her sequences were filmed, it was decided by the filmmakers that her costume needed to be more different from the costume that she was wearing in the 25 years ago, whatever the era of Captain Marvel, the Captain Marvel movie," explained Aitken. "So we ended up replacing her costume with a CG suit for all her shots."
So when we see all of those gold shoulder pads as well as updated logos, they were all created by computers. These kind of CG effects are all around films like Endgame, but they are just much harder to notice with the naked eyes. All of the Quantum Realm suits were made with VFX as well.
What do you think of Captain Marvel's suit in Avengers: Endgame? The film is now in theaters.
A brand new IMAX exclusive trailer for Dark Phoenix goes back to the beginning of the franchise, showing off the full X-Men saga from the first X-Men movie in 2000. As we can see in the video above, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Ian McKellen, along with all the other mutants who have graced the big screen in the last 20 years, stuffed into preamble for this latest installment.
Aside from The New Mutants – which has been pushed back a couple of times with a current release date of April 2020 – now Dark Phoenix is rumored to be the last film in the X-Men saga.
That concept is similar to one of the TV spots for Avengers: Endgame, which featured the ten years of Marvel Cinematic Universe culminating in one last showdown. However, the key difference is that instead of avenging those lost and defeating the Mad Titan (Thanos), the X-Men go against one of their own: Sophie Turner's Jean Grey (who they also went against in The Last Stand, but this is a different kind of Jean Grey).
Can Jean Grey be the new Thanos?
So, does a look back into the past of this franchise have as much emotional weight for Dark Phoenix as it did for Endgame? Word is still out on just how the last X-Men film delivers its final emotional punches, but Endgame did raise the bar.
Dark Phoenix is expected to bring the past 20 years of X-Men films to a close.
Today has been dubbed "X-Men Day" in celebration. A new featurette looking back on the film franchise's legacy was also released.
On the nostalgia side, 20th Century Fox delivered a more hefty lookback – less Dark Phoenix trailer but more sentimentality – where the cast members of X-Men films talk about the impact of the franchise and how it changed comic book movies.
Along with the IMAX trailer, Marvel Studios also released a new throwback poster in the style of Steven Spielberg's go-to artist, Drew Struzan.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix hits theaters on June 7th.
"Avengers: Endgame:" Why Captain America Gave the Shield to Sam Wilson/Falcon Instead of Bucky Barnes
The end of Avengers: Endgame might surprise many fans, not because Captain America (starred by Chris Evans) did survive in the film, but because he decided to retire and pass his iconic shield down to the right-hand man Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie). It was an emotional scene in which might have raised more questions than answers. And one of biggest questions being, why Cap choose Falcon over his life-long friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan)?
According to Endgame screenwriters, there is a certain quality Falcon possesses that Bucky does not because in some ways he still has the risk of being mind-controlled again.
"It is pretty hard to give it to Bucky," co-writer Christopher Markus told Variety. "As much as we love him, he's on the dark path and is still recovering from that. And Sam is really a truly stand up guy. It was not a wildly difficult choice, certainly. I think Bucky has a lot more stories as Bucky and as someone headed on a path of atonement. And Sam has ascended into his new role."
Also asked by Variety if Bucky's nod of understanding was scripted, McFeely confirmed it was. "Yes," he replied. "Our assumption is that he and Steve [Rogers] had a long conversation before Steve went back." That means Bucky did already know about his best buddy's decision.
McFeely went to agree with his writing partner, saying it was the story arc to dive into, especially with the series for Falcon & The Winter Soldier streaming soon on Disney+.
"The thing that gets me the most is that it is much better for both of their stories this way," says McFeely. "Certainly, Bucky getting the shield would provide lots of stories. I do not know if it gives Sam much story. And again, there is a streaming show coming, right? I don't know what they are doing but Sam having the mantle of Captain America, how he feels about that, and Bucky working or having some kind of relationship with HYDRA. I think that is pretty rich."
"Again, particularly as Bucky has to confront the mind control past. Captain America has always represented the best of the idea of America, you know? And giving it to an African-America guy… it is great! Not patting ourselves on the back, I am just saying that is pointing toward a better America."
The screenwriter also made sure to point out that he was unaware of what Marvel Studios has planned for the Disney+ show, even though he thinks Sam Wilson's movement into the Captain America mantle should play a good part.

Avengers: Endgame is now in theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home arrives on July 2.
"Avengers: Endgame:" Why Gamora Returned But Black Widow Did Not
As we saw in Avengers: Endgame, both Gamora (star Zoe Saldana) and Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (star Scarlett Johansson) died on Vormir to unlock the Soul Stone. However, the Gamora still alive by the close of Endgame is a past version displaced from 2014.
"It is not the Gamora that was killed by the Soul Stone. That's the Gamora from the past," Endgame co-writer Stephen Markus explained to Variety.
"When Gamora went off the cliff, the Gamora from that time period died. But this is the Gamora from prior to that. So she is still alive. And she traveled in the time machine to the present. You know, as you do."
"As you do," co-screenwriter Stephen McFeely quipped.
Meanwhile, the original Gamora, who starred in both Guardians of the Galaxy and the Vol. 2, perished in Infinity War when her adoptive father Thanos (star Josh Brolin) murdered her to win the Soul Stone.
In Avengers: Endgame, Nat prevents her long-term closest friend Clint Barton aka Hawkeye (star Jeremy Renner) from sacrificing himself. And the death of Black Widow gives the Avengers one of the six desperately needed Infinity Stones required to resurrect half of the universe that was vanished five years earlier.
"In our minds, her journeys had come to an end if she could get the Avengers back," McFeely told the New York Times.
"She comes from such an abusive, terrible, and mind-control background. So when she gets to Vormir and has a chance to get the family back, and that is a thing she would trade for. But the toughest thing for us was that we were always worried that people were not going to have time to be sad enough. When the stakes are still out there, and they have not solved the problem. We lost a big character – a female character – but how do we honor it? We have this male lens, and it is a lot of guys being sad that a woman died."
Ultimately, Black Widow is the one who dies so the rest of the Avengers can obtain the Soul Stone, and her death has become a controversial topic about Endgame.
One of the biggest criticisms to follow Black Widow's death was her lack of a funeral. During a Q&A with Endgame co-director Joe Russo posted on Chinese website TencentQQ (translated by Reddit), the lack of this scene was finally addressed. In typical Russo fashion though, he suggested many possible explanations for why it was not in the film.
"Did you forget when the heroes mourning for her after they returned from past? Maybe her funeral happened off screen. Maybe it'll be shown in future installment because there're still tons of stories in MCU that are waiting to be told."
So the lake-set mourning footage was the closest Nat would get to a funeral just before the plot moved on towards its finale, in which the Avengers assemble superheroes from across the universe for one last stand against Thanos, who threatens to burn the Earth to cinders. Iron Man/Tony Stark dies stopping the Mad Titan. And Endgame finished with a funeral for the hero who launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Tony gets a funeral. Natasha does not," said Markus.
"That is partly because Tony is the massive public figure and she has been a cipher the whole time. It was not necessarily honest to the character to give her a funeral. And the biggest question about it is what Thanos raises there on the dock. 'We have the Infinity Stones. So why don't we just bring her back?'"
"That is the everlasting exchange," said McFeely. "You bring her back, you lose the stone."
As for the screenwriters, retrieving a still-living Black Widow from an earlier timeline "would have been a weirdly selfish decision."
"Like, effectively, we are going to kidnap a version of Black Widow who knows nothing about the current circumstances and bring her to the future just so we can have one. It is not really asking her whether she wants to go."
So the deaths of the Gamora in 2018 and 2023's Black Widow are irreversible, part of an everlasting exchange preventing their resurrection.
We will know where Gamora goes from here as soon as Guardians of the Galaxy franchise arrives. The Guardians Vol. 3 will be written and directed by the return of James Gunn.
Scarlett Johannson will reprise her role in the first Black Widow standalone film, previously reported to be a prequel set back in 2006, a handful of years before Natasha Romanoff joins Earth's mightiest heroes. Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow is set to open sometime in 2020.
Avengers: Endgame is now in theaters.

By now, you know that Lehigh has drawn Stony Brook as their first round opponent in the FCS Playoffs.
Let's get more familiar with them by starting with the basics.
Stony Brook is a member of the CAA, the same FCS football conference that gives use Villanova, Delaware, New Hampshire, and James Madison.
They're located near Oyster Bay on Long Island, in Stony Brook, New York, and were established as a part of the SUNY University system in 1957. Since then, they have grown and expanded in leaps and bounds as a research University, and also collaborate with Lehigh on certain initiatives, most recently with their computer science departments to research machine learning.
Their nickname is the Seawolves – which is apparently a real thing – and football-wise they finished 9-2 with their very challenging CAA schedule.
They are ranked No. 11 in the country in the FCS coaches' poll and No. 12 in the country in the STATS poll.
Oh yeah – they also gave a 9-1 FBS team a major scare in the first week of the season.
I don't officially vote in any of the FCS Top 25 polls, but I do share who I think deserves to be in the Top 25. And, well, was I completely wrong about Villanova and Richmond, who were two of my Top 10 teams that got upset this week?
CAA fans will say that conference games in their conference are hard, but… Albany and Elon aren't known as being the giant-killers in the conference, let's just say. It's great to see Albany do well, who were awful close to an FCS playoff team last season, and Elon as well, former home of former Lehigh head coach Pete Lembo as well as the new home of former Lehigh offensive coordinator Drew Folmar. But are they Top 25 teams?
I don't officially vote in any of the FCS Top 25 polls, but I do share who I think deserves to be in the Top 25, and let's just get all the drama out of the way now – James Madison is my clear-cut No. 1.
This week saw two Top 10 teams of mine last week go down – and Virginia, the games weren't close. One might not have been too much of a surprise, as it came against a nationally-ranked team at their place. But the other stunned a lot of people, including myself, and frankly, I hate missing the call of a Patriot League team upsetting a CAA team.


We are delighted to announce we have teamed up with the inspirational Bright Sparks in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian.
A registered charity which provides support, learning and play opportunities for children and young adults with complex additional needs.

The 2014 Tesla Model X all-electric crossover with its 'Falcon Doors' open.
Tesla Motors is notoriously stingy with information about its cars and future plans, to the great frustration of news-hungry Model S owners and fans.
But in a Q & A session in Norway on February 1, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the company's CTO JB Straubel revealed several intriguing tidbits about the Model S, the upcoming Model X electric SUV, and the company's planned mass-market Model E sedan.
The Model X will have the same wheelbase as the Model S, and its length will be within 5 cm (about 2 inches). Width will be the same too. The Model X, of course, will be considerably taller than the Model S.
The production Model X will definitely have the eye-catching "falcon doors." The double-hinged doors will be equipped with sensors that will adjust the opening sequence to avoid hitting any nearby objects. "If you can fit your Model X between two other cars, the doors will open," said Musk.
All-wheel drive, using a separate electric drive motor for the front wheels, will be standard on the Model X.

AWD will be an option on the Model S, but not until the Model X is in production in early 2015. According to JB Straubel, the AWD system in the Model S will be "an efficiency-neutral option." In other words, it won't reduce the car's rated electric penalty. That's never happened in a gas-powered car.
Upcoming software updates for the Model S will include a hill-hold function, as well as manual setting of the ride height over a much wider speed range. Farther down the road, Musk said the Model S would be equipped with guidance lines on the back-up camera and an adaptive cruise control.
The production Model S will soon come off the line with improved front seats. "The seats should be more comfortable," said Musk. A modified spring force in the cushion will allow the driver to sink lower into the seat. The new seat is designed so it can be retrofitted to older cars. Musk also said that a second, more comprehensive seat upgrade is about a year away.
Most Supercharger DC quick-charging stations will be upgraded from the current 90 or 120 kilowatts to 135 kW in the not-too-distant future.
Responding to questions about the carbon footprint of the electric-car manufacturing process--in particular, its lithium-ion battery cells--Tesla has done an internal study of that process for the Model S. According to Straubel, the results were surprisingly good: The Model S will essentially offset all the carbon emissions from its manufacture in less than 10,000 miles of driving--a far lower figure than some critics have claimed.
Tesla is shooting for a battery cost for the Model E of 30 to 40 percent less per kilowatt-hour than the Model S. This will help Tesla hit its price target of $30,000 to $40,000, competitive with the BMW 3-Series. Part of the cost reduction will presumably come from the huge "giga-factory" Tesla envisions to build Model E batteries.
You can watch the full video of the Q+A in Oslo above. Tesla Motors Club also published a full transcript of the Oslo session.
Musk and Straubel held a similar "town hall" session in Amsterdam the following night; that video can be viewed here.

High levels of wind and solar on the power grid could lower wholesale electric prices
Posted in Markets, Renewables
By - Jim Vess
Energize Weekly, June 6, 2018
High levels of wind and solar on regional power grids can decrease electric wholesale prices by $5 to $16 a megawatt-hour (MWh), according to a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
"Increasing penetrations of variable renewable energy (VRE) can affect wholesale electricity price patterns and make them meaningfully different from past, traditional price patterns," the study, Impacts of High Variable Renewable Energy Futures on Wholesale Prices, and on Electric Decision Making, said.
"We find a general decrease in average annual hourly wholesale energy prices with more VRE penetration, increased price volatility and frequency of very low-priced hours," the study said.
The study simulated wind and solar reaching 40 percent to 50 percent on regional power grids in California, Texas, the Midwest and New York State.
In all four areas, the addition of more renewable energy lowered prices and increased the number of hours in which wholesale electricity was less than $5 a MWh. That effect was most pronounced when the mix was 30 percent solar and 10 percent wind.
The study looked at mixes of 30 percent wind and 10 percent solar, 20 percent wind and 20 percent solar, and 10 percent wind and 30 percent solar.
"Since solar and wind have no fuel costs, they can bid low to make sure their power is accepted in the market. The more wind and solar in a market, the more often the clearing price falls," the study authors said in a presentation. "In today's markets, we already see sometimes prices go to zero or even negative."
The renewables, particularly solar, also shifted the peak demand in three of the four systems from the afternoon to the evening.
On Texas' ERCOT grid, the peak shifted from 3 p.m. to between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. In the Southwest Power Pool, it went for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. In New York, it shifted from 3 p.m. to between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
There was no change in California, which already had 14 percent solar and 7 percent wind in 2016. These new "net peaks" are also shorter in duration, but are distributed over more days of the year, the study said.
The analysis also projected that there would be a retirement of 4 percent to 16 percent of baseload capacity, especially coal, oil and steam turbines. Natural gas would also be displaced, and total carbon emissions will drop by 21 percent to 47 percent.
The addition of renewable resources, however, also led to more volatility in prices. The low VRE scenario had a variation of $5 to $10 a MWh around the season mean wholesale price. The high wind scenario widened the range to $20 to $30 a MWh, with the potential for energy prices in the morning at zero on some days and up to $55 MWh on others.
The range for a high solar scenario and the mixed scenario were not as great as for wind, but they were still wider than the low renewables scenario.
The analysis also found that the cost of ancillary services, which are needed to support transmission and generation, also will rise as average ancillary services in all the high VRE scenarios are higher than in the low VRE scenarios.
Ancillary services include spinning reserves—online reserve capacity to synchronize the grid, energy imbalance, scheduling, control, and dispatch and voltage control.
The Berkeley analysis found an increase for all regulation and spinning products by a factor of 2 to 8, or $15 to $38 a MWh.
"Our study shows how solar and wind tend to lower energy prices, but they add new complexity for operating the grid, which has big implications for regulators," the study authors said. "For consumers, this research is a reminder that making the electricity grid cleaner with wind and solar is an evolving process that requires significant changes to how the power grid is currently run."

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Werrington as the annual Scouts and Guides Carnival took over the village on Saturday afternoon.
A colourful and noisy parade of floats and walking groups made their way from Wells Close to the junior school playing fields in Amberley Slope, cheered on all the way by well-wishers filling the pavements.
After the parade winners were revealed the fun began with sideshows and stalls keeping the visitors entertained.


Depression is often brought on by suppression. Discovery what you are suppressing and do something about it. Often this will lead to anger, and we will instinctively do 1 of 2 things.
Instead, recognise what is suppressing your power and dispassionately plan how to affect it such that your power is rebalanced.
Suppression can also be pulling back from some stimuli other than anger that is seemingly too powerful or complicated to deal with. This too must be understood and a dispassionate plan to deal with this must be created and acted upon.

Technology Impact Study
Impacting the Future with New Technology
Martyn Seeker (12) works on a chemistry lab assignment in Mr. Dougherty's class, using one of the district-provided Chromebooks.
Ricky Schodl, Staff Writer
With many new changes for the year and a more focused effort on education, the district's rebranding has begun. In addition to the new website and the "Excellence in Learning. Designing the Future" slogan, one of the new focuses was to incorporate more technology into students' lives. While having made vital decisions in what will work best, the district administrators have chosen teachers and students to pilot this new initiative.
After assessing the state of the current technology program, district officials decided that it never reached the goals they had hoped for. This was mostly due to the fact that not every student had access to technology that was not provided by the school, and possibly unreliable or no internet access at home.
"The BYOD (bring your own device) system we have in place has been an ongoing challenge. It has never yielded what we have wanted it to yield, which was this idea that technology was enhancing the learning experience," Tara Sparks (Chief Academic Officer) said.
The current technology program had issues, the main of which was that it did not cover the students who did not have technology at home, which the new one will fix. It would reach all the way from third to twelfth grade, all of which are currently being assessed, including sixteen students at the high school, whom have been given a device to take home.
One of the classes chosen to be assessed were Mr. Dougherty's classes. In the past, he had used Google Classroom to have some assignments to be turned in on. Now with the new initiative in place, he will be able to move to more computer based lessons, including a new app, Canvas, meant for teachers to have materials and assignments available online for students to view.
"I will use the technology to implement Canvas more, allow my students to turn more assignments in online, and to make more engaging assignments," Daniel Dougherty (Science Department) said.
With technology playing a bigger role in society, schools are taking advantage of students' interest in it, in hopes of a better and more focused learning experience.
"The fact that we know that we are studying this, and that it is a priority to us, means that we will get it going as soon as we can," Sparks said.

Lime Stardom? It's not a new type of Jello, but the unusual yet intriguing name of my new apartment in the brand new Lime Stardom building at Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon. The location is between Olympic and Mongkok stations and the neighborhood is "cottage industrial" – the shop floors of buildings around me have steelworks labor going on – but gentrifying as I see other new high-rise buildings under construction. As I face the pool and not the street, noise doesn't affect me and neither does light pollution from any neon signs. Food options are good too and cheaper than comparable fare on Hong Kong Island. Thanks to Hong Kong apartments leader HomeNet.com.hk for helping me get the place.


Lindy is the most trusted and vital health care professional in my life. She has done more to improve the quality and stability of my health than anyone else. Lindy has given me the tools to control migraines and allergies, she has helped me successfully navigate the sometimes stormy waters of peri-menopause, and she has counseled me through the resolution of stress related sleep disturbances. A visit with Lindy is a consistently thorough, comprehensive and holistic experience. I never feel rushed, my opinions are never dismissed and I always leave knowing that I have a plan in place that is clear and manageable. I am a participant in my own care and cure, not simply a patient receiving treatment. Lindy has a directness and clarity in her approach that I treasure. She is a gifted and tenacious diagnostician who never loses sight of the individual. Her warmth, wit and practicality have made her a trusted healthcare partner for me and my whole family. Knowing that that we have access to the kind of care Lindy provides is a constant source of comfort. She is my first call, the ace up my sleeve and my Plan B, all rolled into one.
My daughter, my husband and I have been patients of Lindy's practice for over four years. She has helped us resolve both chronic and acute health issues and build our immune systems to avoid problems in the first place. She is our first call when anyone in the family is ill. I'm continually amazed at her ability to pinpoint exactly what we need, whether that be a homeopathic remedy, a supplement, diet change or lifestyle intervention. We trust her implicitly and recommend her to everyone.
Lindy has been my first line of defense for 15 years. In that time, she has helped me navigate a variety of issues that had previously stumped other medical professionals. She uses deep listening skills to understand the whole picture of health and draw connections between seemingly unrelated symptoms. Quite often, she assesses not only my current situation, but successfully foresees what lies ahead. I greatly appreciate her candor, extensive knowledge and passion for the process. I feel fortunate to have her on my team.
Lindy Grigel has been a godsend for our family. She's helped us navigate the complicated world of parenting a toddler with health issues and helped us build our confidence, resilience and family connection. I recommend all of my friends to Lindy because she's the best of holistic wisdom with evidence based medical training.
My family has been working with Lindy for a couple of years and during that time we have seen some profound changes in our children's behavior and wellbeing. Lindy's way of getting to the root of issues that hinder growth or create friction is nothing short of miraculous. Her work with my older daughter has been especially amazing. The first remedy she gave her was the most dramatic by far, helping to reconnect my daughter and I after the birth of her sister. The changes in my daughter's behavior have been profound — her aggression and anger issues and her lack of connection to me have diminished significantly. The first evening she took her remedy my daughter sat in my lap facing me at bedtime and brushed my hair, stroked my face and kissed me. She looked me in the eyes. She hugged me with serious and true affection. This connection had been missing between us for way too long and nothing had helped get it back until Lindy's work with us. In my own personal story, Lindy's remedy for me calmed my cycle and ended the ovarian cyst ruptures that had been a painfully familiar part of my monthly experience for almost 20 years. I have not had a cyst rupture since I started taking my remedy. I believe in Lindy's approach and would recommend her to everyone I know!
Both of my children and I have seen Lindy on a regular basis for over eight years now. She has helped us through sleep deprivation, developmental milestones, as well as acute illnesses. Lindy has supported us through pregnancy, postpartum and life transitions. Lindy's ability to listen, see the whole picture and trouble shoot to come up with a solution is truly priceless. I cannot say enough great things about Fal River Health Center! Lindy is my go-to health practitioner because I know she can support us through anything and when needed, she refers us to other specialists as well.
Before I went to Lindy G., I had really bad anxiety and suffered from lots of stomach and headaches. My mom, dad and I tried various places and methods to relieve my pain. We cut wheat, dairy and high-fructose corn syrup from my diet and went to a doctor, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist and also tried counseling. I could not focus at school or even enjoy being at school because my anxiety was so bad. All I wanted was to be by my mom's side. I never did anything a twelve-year-old usually got to do including sleepovers, play dates, shopping or anything with my family because of my constant stomach and headaches. But once I tried Lindy's remedies, I felt amazing. Not like it happened right away, but I saw myself make huge progress and I felt on top of the world. Her plan worked better than all my past treatments put together. So now I hope Mrs. Grigel can change your life like she changed mine.
I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Lindy in the treatment of children and adolescents over the past 15 years.Lindy's insight and vast knowledge of homeopath along with years of experience as well as her ability to see the big picture has allowed many of these children and adolescents to return to a state of vibrant health. Lindy is an invaluable member of the integrative healthcare community of southern Maine.
