10 Worst Superhero Movie Miscasts
Putting together a list of the best comic book movie casting decisions is fairly easy, especially if we stick to just ten actors/characters. Picking the ten worst casting choices is much more difficult, because the characters are being adapted to the big screen, meaning that in quite a few cases, they won't resemble their comic book counterparts at all.
We're not just talking about how an actor looks in comparison to the comic book character (Hugh Jackman looked nothing like Wolverine, but Logan is still one of the best movie superheroes), but also how the actor portrays the character.
So what are the worst superhero movie casting decisions ever? Read on to find out!
Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider
Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze (MovieFone)
The days when Nicolas Cage was considered a respectable actor (he did win an Oscar) with the ability to do action movies (silly ones, but Con Air is still awesome). And his movie appearances as Ghost Rider also stand as a testament to that, as do his other movies.
The first Ghost Rider movie was released in 2007, when Spider-Man, X-Men, and Christopher Nolan's first Batman revitalized the comic book movie genre. And this could have been one of the best movies during a decade in which superhero movies began to flower. After all, it was about a demonic biker with a flaming skull and a flaming bike.
Given the character's backstory, Ghost Rider should have hit the right spot with the audience.
Cage is a comic book fan himself, but he was never meant for the role of Johnny Blaze, a young, blonde stuntman. But he did get the role. The movie added nothing new to the genre, but there was a sequel in 2012 that was even more atrocious.
Don Cheadle as Colonel Rhodes
Don Cheadle as Colonel Rhodes (Collider)
This might seem surprising, but it really isn't. Don Cheadle isn't the tough, imposing military guy the comics' Colonel Rhodes is. In addition, Cheadle's role ended up being more comedic than anything else, as the character played third fiddle, so to speak, in the movies.
We believe that Terrence Howard would have been a better choice for the role. Rumor had it that he would play Iron Man rather than War Machine in the sequel, in case the audience failed to connect with Robert Downey, Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark.
But people loved Downey as Stark. Howard was deemed too expensive, so Cheadle took his place. We could argue that Cheadle is the more highly skilled actor, but that's not the point. For someone named War Machine, he really didn't seem to be cut out to be a soldier. Of course, the way the character was written didn't help much, either.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor (Collider)
And here we are - Jesse Eisenberg was almost unanimously viewed as the worst thing about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We should have seen this coming when we saw the first pics, in which he sported long locks in place of the comic book character's iconic baldness.
We believed in this casting choice until we saw the movie. We then realized that this version of Lex Luthor completely lacked the comic book character's brilliance and menacing aura. It was odd that the studio decided to have Lex be a power hungry magnate when the movie also featured Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill).
Even in Lex Luthor's battle suit from the comics, the character would have been dwarfed by his cast mates. And we haven't even mentioned his on-screen presence.
Of course, with a better script in hand, he'd have made quite an impression if he'd succeeded in tricking both Batman and Superman, given his stature and lack of physicality. But, again, that wasn't the case. As a result, we have no idea if we'll see Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor again.
Topher Grace as Venom
Topher Grace as Eddie Brock (Spider-Man Crawl Space)
That "˜70s Guy wound up playing one of Spider-Man's most famous and menacing enemies, and we aren't even talking about Ashton Kutcher. Hell, in hindsight, even Kurtwood Smith (Red) would have been a better choice!
But Sam Raimi decided to cast Topher Grace as Eddie Brock, even though the actor bore no resemblance to the comic book character. And the way he was written, his grudge against Peter Parker appeared to be paper-thin.
But we get it. Raimi didn't want Venom in the movie in the first placed, so he sabotaged it (we're kidding, of course). This Eddie Brock was nothing but a jerk who cheated his way to the top. When he became Venom, the transition wasn't just rushed; it was utter nonsense.
We feel that Tom Hardy will make a better impression. His portrayal certainly can't be worse than Grace's.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze
The Pun-Man (Reddit)
Really, this list item doesn't just belong to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze. Actually, every actor in Joel Schumacher's Batman movies can be included here, as well (what he did to poor Bane"¦).
But we're singling out Arnie's character because of the huge discrepancy between the comic book and movie characters. He had a tragic backstory in the comics, but he was just a big pun-machine in the movie. And with Schwarzenegger playing the part, it's odd that there's nothing menacing about the character. And who believed Arnie as a brilliant scientist?
The plot made no sense, since it pairs Mr. Freeze with Poison Ivy in yet another misstep.
If you want to cringe, watch Arnold play Mr. Freeze in Batman and Robin. But if you want to see the character played properly, watch the animated Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero.
Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd
Judge Dredd (Sky)
When the first Judge Dredd movie was released in 1995, comic book movies were at their campiest (Joel Schumacher gave Batman nipples that year). But that didn't really explain the direction Judge Dredd took. The character nuked an entire country, killing millions, and became a caricature.
Casting Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd didn't work, either, especially since Stallone decided to leave the helmet aside and show his pretty face throughout the film. You really can't do that in a Dredd film. Karl Urban proved that the character was more effective with the helmet on.
The entire movie is over the top, starting with Stallone's acting. Considering that his star had begun to fade around that time, maybe he believed that he'd win back the fans with such a character. He was wrong.
I am the Law!? We did need subtitles.
Halle Berry as Storm (or Catwoman)
Halle Berry as Catwoman (DC Comics News)
Take your pick. Catwoman was considered one of the worst comic book movies ever, with one of the worst portrayals of a female comic book character. On the other hand, there's Storm, always the weakest link in the X-Men movies as portrayed by Halle Berry.
What didn't work for these characters? The writing. Storm, who was basically a mutant goddess, was sidelined. She had the most atrocious lines in the film (Berry couldn't decide on an accent). The best example: What happens to a frog when hit by lightning?
And Catwoman wasn't even Selina Kyle. She was Patience Phillips, a character created for the film. An Egyptian cat god provided her powers, which sounds even more ludicrous than the origin story provided for Michelle Pfeiffer's version of the character.
Maybe it wasn't entirely Berry's fault, but she sure contributed to the disaster. And, like Nicolas Cage, she's an Oscar winner.
Jennifer Garner as Elektra
Jennifer Garner's Elektra (Netflix)
In the comics, Elektra was an iconic character who could be a villain or a hero with unparalleled ease. Her origin story, and her connections to the Hand and the Chaste, indicated that she had a hot temper, and that made her even more unpredictable.
But someone believed that it was a great decision to cast girl next door Jennifer Garner in Ben Affleck's Daredevil and the Elektra spin-offs. It wasn't. Garner had proved that she could pull off a role in the Alias series, but she was too mellow and too nice to play Elektra.
Of course, both movies' writing and direction left much to be desired. But it seemed as though Jennifer Garner should have known that she couldn't rely on her looks alone to successfully portray a feared and skilled assassin.
Although she was a weaker link, Elodie Yung's portrayal of the character in Daredevil Season 2 was light years better.
Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman
Jessica Alba's Sue Storm (20th Century Fox)
Chris Evans was the star of the first Fantastic Four movies, but it wasn't just because his character was the coolest, so to speak. According to Jessica Alba, director Tim Story sidelined her character, transforming Sue Storm into the films' dim-witted blond eye-candy.
In the comics, Sue played the role of damsel in distress plenty of times, but she was more than just a cardboard cut-out. She had a tragic backstory, and proved that comic books could explore some hefty themes, including the loss of a child.
Jessica Alba may have had it in her, and it's possible that she could have expressed some powerful emotions. However, the movies forgot that Sue was actually a complex character, and 20th Century Fox rebooted the franchise and succeeded in making an even bigger mess.
Seth Rogen as Green Hornet
Green Hornet (Ace Showbiz)
Lastly, we have Seth Rogen as Green Hornet. The character wasn't actually a superhero, but, as with Dredd, we couldn't hold that against him. Also like the Sylvester Stallone flick, Green Hornet was a caricature of a movie.
We get it. Maybe Seth Rogen wanted to put a smile on our faces when he decided on this film. After all, plenty of supervillains threatened to destroy the world in 2011. However, Rogen wasn't exactly the superhero type. The fact that he relied on what he knew best (comedy) didn't help matters, either.
Even today, people mock Seth Rogen for starring in this movie.
But his Preacher show is really awesome!
What do you think? Are there other atrocious casting choices that should have been on this list?

[NYT] On the power of personal mlist cults... Farber's I-P

Witness in Microsoft Case Keeps the List of All Lists
By AMY HARMON
When David Farber stepped down from the public stage of the witness stand
in the Microsoft antitrust trial last Wednesday after two days of
testimony, he found his own private audience eagerly awaiting his return.
And he did not disappoint them.
Logging on hours after returning from Washington to his home in Landenburg,
Pa., the 64-year-old University of Pennsylvania telecommunications
professor dispatched an e-mail message. "To all those who I have ignored,"
the subject line read. The text of the message went on to say, "I have
never felt so drained."
In Farber's case, "To all" refers to a sprawling network of 25,000 Internet
users who have maneuvered themselves onto his formidable mailing list over
the last decade. His list -- which he calls IP, for "interesting people" --
has a devoted following among the digerati, as well as less technological
types. And it gives him unrivaled, if unofficial, influence as a voice of
That status helps explain why the Justice Department chose Farber as an
expert witness for a trial in which a central question is whether Microsoft
tried to monopolize the market in Internet browser software.
As master of the IP list, Farber typically exercises his opinion almost
solely through a selection process in which he forwards three or four items
culled from hundreds of information sources that he deems most worthy of
attention each day. At most, he may add a one-line precis, as he did with a
simple "Bye bye liberty" atop a mailing last month citing an Army Times
article about the government's expanded antiterrorism surveillance.
But in last week's post-courtroom e-mail message, he allowed himself more
room for introspection.
"I am endlessly astonished that all too often the trials seem not to be
interested in extracting the truth," Farber wrote, after a difficult day of
cross-examination by Microsoft's lawyer, Steven Holley. "Oh well."
Appearing at a trial that has been dominated by software company
executives, Farber was the first technologist to testify without an obvious
ax to grind or damning e-mail record to refute. His testimony focused on
defining the technical terms that are at the core of the dispute: whether
Microsoft illegally used its monopoly in the personal computer operating
system market to give an unfair advantage to the company's browser
software, Internet Explorer.
Farber argued that software was "infinitely malleable" and that Microsoft
had designed its Windows 98 operating system so that consumers could not
remove Explorer.
Microsoft dismissed Farber's testimony as "nothing more than an opinion
piece on how he thinks Microsoft could have or should have designed
Windows." But it was an opinion that had a definite appeal among a large
segment of Internet users.
"The Internet reaction was like, 'Ah-hah, there's our guy,"' said Esther
Dyson, editor of Release 1.0, an influential industry newsletter, and chief
of an international governing agency for assigning Internet addresses. "The
trial has centered on the Internet, but it's all been about the
corporations of the Internet. It was nice to finally have the users and
creators represented in the courtroom, as well."
Even some of those rooting for Microsoft found cause to applaud Farber's
appearance, including Scott Bradner, a senior technical consultant at
Harvard University. Bradner was in Orlando, Fla., last week at an annual
meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force, an industry association. He
said the 2,000 technology enthusiasts at the conference seemed of mixed
opinion about the Microsoft trial. But he said he and many others were glad
that Farber, a longtime member of the group, had taken the stand.
"There are more and more examples of where technical reality has to be
reconciled with the law," Bradner said. "It's important for objective
reporters of technology to be able to explain it to judges and juries in a
way they can understand."
Farber is a bald, grandfatherly figure whose tendency to round his Rs into
Ws finds him affectionately compared to Elmer Fudd. But it is a demeanor
belying a distinguished resume.
He grew up in Jersey City, N.J., holds a master's degree in mathematics
from the Stevens Institute of Technology, and helped invent the first
electronic telephone switch in the early '60s as an engineer at Bell
Laboratories. It was there that he also concocted the computer language
Snobol and met his wife, GG, before moving to Southern California and
helping to organize the Internet.
He has been at the University of Pennsylvania since 1989. In addition to
teaching a course there on computer ethics and society this term, Farber
has been a technical consultant for Intel Corp. and the Internet service
provider Earthlink, among others. He serves on the Presidential Advisory
Committee on High Performance Computing and Communications, and sits on the
board of the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation.
But he said in an interview last week that "the IP list has made me the
most famous."
The list began about 11 years ago, when Farber's friend Eric Bloch started
a demanding job at the National Science Foundation and complained that he
no longer had time to read news, on the Internet or anywhere else. Farber
began forwarding items to Bloch and then to others.
Soon, the list became to the technology elite what an invitation to Irving
(Swifty) Lazar's Oscar party once was to Hollywood's glitterati -- the
industry's place to be. And by now, the IP list is widely considered the
single most influential source of relevant and up-to-date news about all
dimensions of the technological world.
When Jon Postel, an Internet founder and a former PhD student of Farber's,
died unexpectedly last month, for instance, IPers learned about it before
anyone else. Word came through a posting by Farber that was followed by a
eulogy from Vint Cerf, a longtime associate who is now senior vice
president at MCI Worldcom and chairman of the Internet Society, a
professional group.
In recent years, Farber said he had enlarged and diversified the list,
including homemakers and students who had requested to be added to a group
of recipients that also includes Intel's chairman, Andrew Grove, and many
leading technology journalists.
The Internet has many mailing lists -- 90,095 by one count -- but Farber's
may reflect more than any other the power of distributed-information
networks. As he adds subscribers to the list, each becomes an additional
source of information. And Farber performs the function of a trusted
"He has become a social node in a network of people," said David Bennahum,
a subscriber to the list and author of a new book, "Extra Life," about
growing up with computers. "He helped form the Internet socially by
connecting all these important people together."
Even human network nodes have to rest sometimes, though. Late last week,
Farber posted what may be one of his final messages of the year to the IP
"After Sunday IP will be off the air and so will I for 10 days as I go off
to a place in Hawaii where there are no phones, no radios, no TVs etc. and
certainly no EMAIL," he wrote. "Have a good Hanukkah and a Merry Christmas
etc."

In the previous tutorial, you learned how to install GeoCode. Here, you'll learn how to use the GeoCode add-on to transform postal addresses into coordinates.
info To immerse yourself in this tutorial, we recommend using this sample data in the following walk-through exercises.
1 - Initialize the GeoCode add-on wizard.
To start using GeoCode, open an existing Google Sheets with postal addresses in it. Once you're on the pertinent sheet (tab), select Add-ons > Geocode by Awesome Table > Start Geocoding.
info Depending on your use-case, you're not restricted to using just the complete postal address for GeoCode to work. You can even enter partial addresses using any of these combinations: city and state, city or state and country or just the country.
2 - Configure the address field.
If the complete address is stored in just 1 column, choose the appropriate column name from the dropdown menu under Address column (image B). Otherwise, click Are your addresses in multiple columns? (image C).
The Multiple Columns window shows the column names on the left and checkboxes on the right. You simply need to check the boxes where your separate address fields are stored (image D). Then click the Insert column button.
This will create a new column labeled Full Address right next to the country column - containing the concatenated values of the address fields you checked earlier (image E).
info Google Maps API has a built-in error management system. If addresses are not recognized, it will perform a broader search, guaranteeing you get the proper coordinates for each row.
* Note: Make sure that the Try wider results checkbox is checked.
Now click the Geocode! button (image F) to transform your addresses into coordinates.
not_interested Do not terminate or close the sidebar while GeoCode is running.
After the script executes, two new columns will be added immediately after the Address column: Latitude and Longitude (image G) .
info If you prefer not to have the longitude and latitude columns inserted between your datasource (to avoid altering your current column-order), simply place the address column(s) at the end of the datasource.
warning Information about the number of geocoded addresses is displayed in the sidebar (image G).
4 - Create your interactive Map with just 1 click.
Finally, click the Create Map button (image H).
The script will 1) insert a new row on your datasource that will be reserved for filters and keywords (image I) and 2) automatically generate your AwesomeTable view using the Map visualization type.
info The GeoCode script applies the appropriate filter based on the data-type of each column (i.e., numeric, string, or date). You can opt to accept the suggested filters, modify, or remove them.
Learn more about filters here.
warning The GeoCode add-on offers a pre-configured AwesomeTable Map-view allowing you to quickly sort, filter, and find the locations you need. If you click on a specific row in the table-view, the map-view will dynamically focus the corresponding marker-location linked to the pertinent row.
You're now presented with the option to: Customize the Tooltip (which we'll tackle next) or Open the Map view (image J). For now, choose Open map to see the default view.
When you click on any marker, you'll be presented with a plain-vanilla tooltip displaying the city & country (image K). You can choose to accept this default or you could further customize your Tooltip to enhance it.
warning The generated map-view displays Markers (a single location on a map that resembles a red balloon, a.k.a. Map Pin, Drop Pin, or Push Pin) corresponding to each coordinate in your Google Sheets datasource.
info If there are too many markers in a single location, the GeoCode script performs automatic clustering to improve the map view (image L).
In this tutorial, you learned how to use the GeoCode add-on to transform your addresses into coordinates.
In the next tutorial, you'll learn how to Customize the Tooltip.

In an earlier blog The need to diversify I wrote about my investing philosophy and my strong feeling that you need to spread (or 'diversify') your money across the various asset classes- Cash (savings accounts), Equities (the stock market), Corporate Bonds (Company IOU's), Gilts (Government Bonds), Commodities (Gold) and Infrastructure (PFI projects such as road building, hospitals, Defence facilities etc).
The other main asset class that I think is very important to have money in is Commercial Property. Why?
Well, to begin with, it is important to understand what this asset class actually is. Another of my investment mantras is "Don't invest in anything that you don't understand'! It is investing in funds (usually a Unit or Investment Trust) that themselves invest in offices, retail parks and shopping centres with the aim of generating all-important income from the tenants (the fund company are in effect their Landlords, although they usually use managing agents for that role) as well as some capital gain from the value of the property.
This income and capital appreciation is then returned to its investors based on the proportion of their investment in it. Now commercial property has traditionally been important to investors ' portfolios as their value tends not to be driven by the vagaries of the stock market, but more of the general wider state of the business economy (if the economy is booming more companies will want to expand and rent offices or open a retail unit for example), and how you value a set of offices is not the same as how the market values companies. As an illustration, if you look over the last 12 months, the FTSE All Share Index which represents the wider UK Stock Market has suffered a loss of 6.9%, however those funds that invest directly in property, rather than through property shares (a different beast entirely) have done much better with returns over the same period of around 3%.
It is an investment trust which means that it is an investment company traded on the stock market so you can invest in it either via a stockbroker service or direct through a very cost effective savings plan.. 'Foreign & Colonial' are a very well known fund management company having started the first ever Investment Trust way back in 1868. The fund itself is managed by Richard Kirby and at present has around £960m invested- quite a considerable amount.
Its performance over recent periods is very impressive – having returned 65.7% over the last three years (although like other property funds it has been more turbulent over longer periods) and the current yield it pays is a very attractive 5.9%. One of its other attractions is that it is one of the few property funds that pays out a monthly income which can be very attractive if you are reliant on that kind of income, to perhaps supplement a pension or salary.
It currently has around 40% of its money invested in Offices, around 27% in Retail (shops etc) and nearly 20% in warehouses. Around 70% of its properties are in London or the South East in places like the Newbury Retail Park and Wimbledon Broadway etc.
Funds such as FCPT are to my mind very attractive- they offer a high level of income, they are generally less volatile then conventional equity funds, but still offer some potential for growth. That's not to say that they would not suffer in any euro zone meltdown of course but on the risk scale they do have some protection and certainly as part of a sensible, well balanced portfolio it could be a good fit.
I have a fairly long history of running my own investment portfolio going back to the late 1980's, and the country like now, was in recession territory, but what it does teach you is that if you can invest successfully in those conditions then you should be OK in much calmer water.
One of the main things that I have learnt from investing my money is that there really is not any replacement for having an investment portfolio that is widely diversified in assets. Now frankly, that is a bit of a mouthful but what I mean to say is that the chances of your money doing well is largely reliant on the type of assets you invest in, rather than a specific company share, bond or even savings account. Figures indicate that around 90% of your investment return is dictated to by the kind of things you put your money in.
Example: say you think that the world is going to hell in a handcart (not an unreasonable view at the moment) and that you don't trust anyone to invest your money wisely and want it somewhere relatively 'safe'. So, you put it all in cash savings accounts and keep it there for say 5 years. If the last 5 years are anything to go by putting a lump sum of say £10,000 in cash would return (with your capital) a total of £11,885 or an average interest rate of 3.77% per annum. Now that takes no account of inflation, which over the same period amounted to 17%, so your money would have only just about beaten inflation.
But what if you were more adventurous and put your money somewhere a bit more racy?
What about the stock market for instance? If you elected to put your £10,000 in a FTSE 100 Tracker (that replicates how the top 100 UK companies perform), that £10,000 would now be worth £10,100- a return of just 1%- substantially less than putting your money in cash, although the last 5 years have been a very torrid time for stock markets in general.
So, what about Bonds? These 'Corporate Bonds' are basically IOUs that companies issue to its investors and you can get your capital back at the end of the term together with a fixed income amount which can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly. Well, a 10k investment in the average Corporate Bond fund would have returned a very handsome £12,110 – or a 21.1% return of the half-decade, easily beating shares and also cash.
How about Government Bonds (or 'Gilts' as they are properly known)? Well, £10,000 would have returned an even more impressive £14,280 or a total return of 42.8% or around 8.5% each year.
The range of returns is actually quite huge from a measly 1% for shares to a massive 130%+ for gold and of course, this just looks at the last five years, the next five years, indeed the next 5 days, may not perform in anything like the same way. The stock market may recover which would likely lead to diminished returns for the 'flight to quality' and so-called more 'secure' investments such as Gilts, Bonds and Cash.
What I have learnt though is that in the world of investing the adage of 'no one knows anything' is a sound maxim and that in order to reduce the risk of you losing money to the latest trend or fad but also to increase the chance of making money, it is prudent to invest in a range of asset classes- so for example if you had invested your £10,000 across the five investment areas above (£2,000 in each) you would have got back after the five years a total of £11,885 – a return of 18.85% - identical, incidentally, to that of cash, but it would have reduced your risk that by putting all your money in any one asset class that your money would have been in jeopardy if there was a 'crash' during that period or even if interest rates were slashed at various points.
I think that asset allocation and good diversification of your money is key to protecting and growing your nest egg, so that you spread your risk/returns- but, as ever, whenever you talk about money, do get independent financial advice. I did and it has paid off. So far.

Here's an absolutely outstanding idea for a cell phone carrier. An improv group gathered together 100 people for what they called a "cell phone symphony."
The leaders of the prank had the participants gather in groups depending upon cell phone brand (Nokia, Samsung, Motorola), find a buddy and a common ringtone, and exchange phone numbers. Then, half of the buddies put their cell phones in their backpacks or purses (turned on, volume up), entered The Strand bookstore, and checked their bags.
At a signal from the ringleader, all of the participants in the Nokia group called the cell phones of their buddies. Inside the store, with a dozen or more cell phones ringing in similar rings, the clerks looked confused and uncertain - as did the non-participating patrons, some of whom wanted to retrieve their bags to see if it was their own phone ringing.
With the next signal from the ringleader, the next set of phones went off, and the next, and so on. Inside, the clerks looked increasingly baffled, then amused. One customer made a remark that sounded line, "There are Japanese ghosts here today."
It's a delicious idea, and the prank itself may have been wonderful. Unfortunately, the video lacks tension, drama, and, sadly, sound quality.
Still, an ad from a cell phone carrier that builds off this idea - either staging a similar prank or simply creating a symphony of different ring tones - would be fun.


In today's interview find out more about Sian Conway the founder of Ethical Hour.
Thank you for supporting Going Green in 2019, what were your reasons for wanting to get involved this year?
It's really important that we encourage everyone to take small steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. There was a fantastic quote that went viral recently – "we don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, we need everyone doing it imperfectly!" – in the fight against climate change, plastic pollution and the many issues our beautiful planet is facing, it's essential that we all make moves to a lower impact lifestyle.
I've been blogging about ways to do this for 3 years, and I've recently been appointed as one of the Government's Ambassadors for their Year of Green Action, so I'm looking forward to this opportunity to inspire more people to be as sustainable as they can.
We now have a zero waste shop which makes life much easier! I think wherever you live there are simple things you can do – like switching to green energy, but some things are harder than others. Avoiding plastic can be really difficult for example. There's some switches I've been able to make with a little research about what's available locally – such as farm shops. I've even found a cruelty-free, vegan salon who allow me to refill my shampoo and conditioner bottles too!
It's frustrating that living sustainably costs more and is less convenient. The responsibility falls to the consumer to do their research and make the right choice. If we can get big business on board and stronger legislation in place, we can make it easier for everyone.
I started my ethical living journey over 3 years ago so I've made lots of changes in that time. Switching to a green energy provider for my home and business was a simple one, giving up fast fashion wasn't as hard as I thought it would be once I discovered the joy of rummaging through charity shops, and I've recently started eating more plant based meals.
I have so many! At the moment though I have so much admiration for Greta Thunberg and all the children using their voices for change in the Climate Strikes – it's their future at stake and we should all get behind them.
I'm in the process of making my office completely paperless, so I'd like to complete that in 2019 and try to become completely plastic free too!
Sian Conway will be speaking during the #EthicalLiving segment during our Going Green 2019 Online Summit, you can catch her talk about Easy Ethical Living during the 8- 9pm slot.

If hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue, then the flip-flops on previously denounced anti-terror measures are the homage that Barack Obama pays to George Bush. Within 125 days, Obama has adopted with only minor modifications huge swaths of the entire, allegedly lawless Bush program.
The latest flip-flop: military tribunals. Obama denounced them repeatedly during the campaign and suspended them upon his swearing in. Now, they�re back.
Of course, Obama never will admit in word what he�s doing in deed. As in his rhetorically brilliant speech last Thursday claiming to have undone Bush�s moral travesties, the military commissions flip-flop is accompanied by the usual Obama three-step: a) excoriate the Bush policy, b) ostentatiously unveil cosmetic changes, c) adopt the Bush policy.
On Guantanamo, it�s Obama�s fellow Democrats who have discovered the wisdom of Bush�s choice. The Senate voted 90-6 to reject appropriating a single penny until the president explains where he intends to put the inmates. Sen. James Webb, the de facto Democratic authority on national defense, wants the closure to be put on hold. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said no Gitmo inmates on American soil � not even in American jails. Gitmo is starting to look good again.
Jack Goldsmith (The New Republic) adds: rendition � turning over terrorists seized abroad to foreign countries; state secrets � claiming them in court to quash legal proceedings on rendition and other erstwhile barbarisms; and the denial of habeas corpus � to detainees in Afghanistan�s Bagram prison, indistinguishable logically and morally from Guantanamo.
What does it all mean? Democratic hypocrisy and demagoguery? Sure, but something much larger is at play: an undeniable, irresistible national interest that, in the end, beyond the cheap politics, asserts itself. The urgencies and necessities of the actual post-Sept. 11 world, as opposed to the fanciful world of the opposition politician, present a rather narrow range of acceptable alternatives.
Among them: reviving the historic tradition of military tribunals, and inventing Guantanamo � accessible, secure, offshore and nicely symbolic � a brilliant choice for the placement of terrorists, some of whom, the Bush administration immediately understood, would have to be detained without trial in a war that could be endless.
The genius of democracy is that the rotation of power forces the opposition to come to its senses when it takes over. When the new guys then adopt the policies of the old guys, a national consensus is forged and a new legitimacy established.
The Bush policies in the war on terror won�t have to await vindication by historians. Obama is doing it day by day.

Q: Found the synthetic property @enterAnimation. Please include either "BrowserAnimationsModule" or "NoopAnimationsModule" in your application. Angular4 When running Karma to test my Angular4 application, I get this error  Found the synthetic property @enterAnimation.

The application runs perfectly with ng serve yet, I got this error with karma.

A: If you see this error during unit testing then you could import utility module like NoopAnimationsModule into your spec file which mocks the real animation and donot actually animate
import { NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

A: if included BrowserAnimationsModule but still not working, you will have to add animations attribute to your @component like this

@Component({
  selector: 'app-orders',
  templateUrl: './orders.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./orders.component.scss'],
  animations: [
    trigger('detailExpand', [
      state('collapsed', style({
        height: '0px',
        minHeight: '0'
      })),
      state('expanded', style({
        height: '*'
      })),
      transition('expanded <=> collapsed', animate('225ms cubic-   bezier(0.4, 0.0, 0.2, 1)')),
    ]),
  ],
})

A: For my Angular 6 application, I resolved the issue by adding the following to my component .spec.ts file:
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

Then add the BrowserAnimationsModule to the imports of the TestBed.configureTestingModule in the same component .spec.ts file
  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ LinkedSitesComponent ], imports: [ BrowserAnimationsModule ],
    })
    .compileComponents();
  }));

A: for my case all i did was add this line to my component (users-component.ts)
@Component({
animations: [appModuleAnimation()],
})

of course ensure you have imported the relevant module in app.component.ts or where you import your modules
 // animation module
    import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

    @NgModule({
         imports: [
            BrowserAnimationsModule,
        ],
    })

A: Future readers: you can also get this exact error, when you forget to place
animations: [ <yourAnimationMethod()> ]

on your @Component ts file.
that is if you're using [@yourAnimationMethod] on the HTML template, i.e. angular animations.

A: For angular 7 and previous version, you only need to add this line in your app.module.ts file, and remember put it in the imports array modules too in the same file:
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";

A: If you face this error in Storybook, then do import this BrowserAnimationsModule to moduleMetadata in your story.
Like this,
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

export const Primary = () => ({
  template: `
   <div style="width: 720px">
    <view-list [data]="data"></view-list>
   </div>
   `,
  moduleMetadata: {
    imports: [AppModule, BrowserAnimationsModule],
  },
  props: {
    data: SOME_DATA_CONSTANT,
  },
});

PS: For Angular, the answers that are mentioned above works well.

A: I found the solution. I just needed to import in app.component.spec.ts the same import
 // animation module
        import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
    ...
@NgModule({
    imports: [...
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        ...
      ],

Not much has been happening in the kitchen, but what goes on outside the kitchen is equally as important especially when organic markets are involved.
We experimented with a little rock climbing for the first time. I didn't realise it was going to be such a challenge. I didn't even climb that much, but I feel super tender all over. I can't wait to do it again!

Teen pregnancy: Bomet girls to undergo medical tests
http://www.kenya24news.com/kenya/teen-pregnancy-bomet-girls-to-undergo-medical-tests/118179-news December 14, 2019 704
Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok said teen pregnancy and FGM have negatively affected transition rates of girls from primary to secondary schools and colleges.
County Commissioner Geoffrey Omoding said head teachers and principals who hide cases of pregnancies will face disciplinary action.
In a bid to curb the alarming rate of teenage pregnancies in Bomet County, high school principals and head teachers have been directed to conduct medical tests on girls in their learning institutions.
County Commissioner Geoffrey Omoding said the girls should be subjected to pregnancy tests when schools reopen for the new term in January next year.
He spoke amid revelations that teenage pregnancies have hit an all-time high in the county, with more than 10,000 school girls being put in the family way every year.
"The high level of pregnancies reported in the county, which stands at 10,000 yearly, is too high by all standards. There is need to subject the girls to pregnancy tests and get to know those responsible so that legal action can be taken against the suspects," Mr Omoding said in an interview with Saturday Nation on Friday.
He said those suspected to have sexually preyed on the girls will be subjected to DNA tests and arraigned in court to answer for their misdeeds.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has also been reported to be high in the county, with more than 50 suspects arraigned in court while hundreds of others have escaped police dragnets.
Newly married women and young mothers account for a large percentage of the cases.
EDUCATION AFFECTED
The vices, Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok and Mr Omoding said, have negatively affected transition rates of girls from primary to secondary schools and colleges.
Dr Barchok said cases of defilement and rape had reached an alarming rate, while domestic violence incidents were also on the rise.
"We cannot afford to sit back and watch as girls are forced to drop out of school as a result of sexual predators who are walking freely," the governor said.
Drug and substance abuse has been cited as the main cause of gender-based violence (GBV) cases in the devolved unit.
CULPRITS
Mr Omoding said boda-boda riders form the highest number of suspects who sexually prey on girls in the county.
"We are cracking the whip on the culprits with a view to turning the tide, as the girl child must be protected," Omoding said.
He added that the high rate of pregnancies had thrust the girls into motherhood when they were not physically and psychologically prepared.
Speaking on Thursday after the celebrations, Mr Omoding said the young mothers must be given the opportunity to pursue their education after giving birth.
The commissioner said head teachers and principals who hide cases of pregnancies will face disciplinary action.
"Sadly, cases of pregnancies among school going children are only made public at the end of the year during the national examinations period, yet in reality thousands of others drop out in the early part of the year," he said.
Cases of girls being married off at the expense of education, he said, were rampant, and that several suspects having been prosecuted.
Cases of defilement and rape have also been on the rise. To change this, the county, national government and non-state actors will join hands to ensure the war is won.
In the last one month, more than 50 young women have been arrested for undergoing FGM. To abet the vice, newly married women are subjected to FGM.
Nyamira County Commissioner Amos Mariba said this week that all defilers will be prosecuted, citing an example of a ward rep who was arrested for defiling a child.
"Those parents who have a tendency of negotiating with these defilers should stop," he warned.

Loudoun's newest women's networking group, Savvy Women of Northern Virginia, will hold its first monthly event Wednesday, May 18.
The group was founded by Meryl Greenhill, who noticed when she moved to the area from California that Loudoun County had several groups for women, but none that quite fit what she was looking for.
"Savvy Women of Northern Virginia is for the more mature woman, those in a more mature age group—more savvy women," she said.
Next week's happy hour event, held at Belmont Country Club, will feature two dozen vendors. Most are Loudoun-based businesses that will be ready to pamper those in attendance with chair massages, hair blowouts, waxing services and an eyelash bar.
The centerpiece of the evening will be a fashion show with young women showing off the latest styles from local boutique The Jeans Whisperer. Owner Jan Forman plans to showcase items that can be found in her shop in downtown Leesburg, including those in the Bronte Collection, from a West Palm Beach, FL, designer who designs exclusively for The Jeans Whisperer.
Savvy Women of Northern Virginia's monthly events are meant to show professional women that networking can be fun and, if done right, can foster genuine friendships. "I want people to learn how to help each other, give each other leads and work together as a family," she said.
The Savvy Women of Northern Virginia's happy hour and fashion show event is free and runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 18, at Belmont Country Club, 19661 Belmont Manor Lane in Ashburn. RSVP at Savvy Women of Northern Virginia's Facebook page.

Eleven games, three draws, eight defeats. Hamburg's record this season doesn't make for pretty reading, and coach Markus Gisdol is still waiting for his first win after taking over from Bruno Labbadia. How he would love to get it against HSV's great northern rivals Bremen, who are just four points further up the table. The Red Shorts belied their league position with a solid performance against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim last time out, and a third straight Bundesliga win in the Nordderby could be just what the doctor ordered to finally get their season up and running.
The Bremen faithful have had precious little to cheer in recent weeks, with a dismal run of four straight defeats, but bagging the northern bragging rights this weekend would go a long way towards making up for it. After a last-gasp loss to Eintracht Frankfurt last Sunday, Alexander Nouri's men are determined to get back to winning ways. A first Nordderby win since April 2015 would give them a huge boost – and some much-needed breathing room at the bottom.

Q: Mount iso -o loop select loop device I have a bash script where I mount an ISO to loop devices:
mount -o loop my.iso /tmp/foo

And it happens that at the same time in my OS (Linux Mint 19) I have an ISO image mounted, using the GUI option for this action.
So I get the error

mount: /tmp/foo: /dev/loop0 ya está montado o el punto de montaje está
  ocupado.

(...loop0 mount point busy...)
Question:
Can I select what loop can I mount my ISO, something like:
mount - loop3 my.iso /tmp/foo

so I don't need to umount the previous ISO?

A: The error is not because you already have another ISO device mounted; the mount -o loop will always get the first unused loop device or create a new one.
And it's not because the same ISO image / loop device is already mounted on another directory -- the same device can be mounted on different mount points at the same time.
What you're probably trying to do is mount the same ISO on the same mount point twice. The mount(8) utility will try to guard you against that by checking if the backing file is already attached to a loop device and reusing that device, instead of attaching the same file to multiple loop devices.
But if you really want to do that, you can bypass the check by attaching the loop device by hand with losetup:
# mount -o ro a.iso dir/

# mount -o ro a.iso dir/
mount: /tmp/a.iso is already mounted

# losetup --show -f a.iso
/dev/loop1
# mount -o ro /dev/loop1 dir/
#

The two combined:
# dev=$(losetup --show -f a.iso) && { mount -o ro "$dev" dir/ || losetup -d "$dev"; }

You should then use the -d option of umount(8) explicitly, or detach the the loop by hand afterwards, with losetup -d:
# umount -d dir/

That should be pretty safe with read-only filesystems, like ISOs. Don't ever use it with filesystems mounted in read-write mode.

The introductory chapter on dialectics was also really good. A comprehensive analysis of the philosophy of the dialectic. In fact, both are separations as well as unifications: The dialectic, the dereification of thought, is also the dereification of the world, the edifice of facts turned into a tissue of potentialities.
In the works of Marx, the dialectic became a tool for materialist historical analysis. The processes themselves are of course diallectic and shifting, as it is still a critical commonplace to insist.
I would use a psychoanalytic term for this: With other cases this perspective is only arrived through our own allegorical effort. To Hegel, who dominated nineteenth-century thought, it was a metaphysical system.

We might translate it into our own historical moment as: It is as if Verso created such a labrynth for itself that it could no longer navigate its way forward and got lost.
The dialectic, the concept of the evolution of an idea through conflicts arising from its inherent contradictions, transformed two centuries of Western philosophy.

Bryan Watt Assistant Age-Group Coach/Master's Coach
Email: shannonwatt777@gmail.com
Bryan Watt began swimming competitively in 1972 for the Oregon City Swim Club and has been in the water ever since. During his high school years, he swam for Oregon City High School and then went on to swim all four years during his time at Oregon State University, graduating in 1987. Upon graduation from OSU Bryan earned not only a degree, but also a commission in the United States Air Force where he spent 20+ years flying cool airplanes, while managing to keep in shape swimming through the years. While in the Air Force, he got the chance to command a squadron whose winning ways went beyond the everyday Air Force experience. Physical fitness has always been a top priority for Bryan, and that is one of the ways in which he led his squadron...winning not only in the air, but also on the field and in the pool, where he competed in several team triathlons and other events.
In 2009 Bryan joined several other masters swimmers at the Oregon City Swimming Pool and began getting back into competition shape. He competed in the 2010 Oregon Masters Swimming Association Championship Meet, and in 2011 decided that Oregon City ought to have a masters swimming team. He established the team in 2011 under the auspices of the Oregon City Swim Team, and is currently the assistant coach. Shortly after establishing the Masters team, Bryan decided to approach OCST and see if they could use his talents to bring up the next generation of younger swimmers…and they said yes! Not too long after that, he also became the head coach of the Oregon City High School Swimming Team, a position he still holds to date. While coaching at OCHS, Bryan has put together a winning team that has produced several state champions including the first-ever Oregon City High School state champion relay team for swimming.
All five of Bryan and wife Shannon's progeny are swimming on the Oregon City Swim Team. Swimming for Bryan has become not only a way to stay physically fit, but also a strategy to make sure he is around to encourage his children, grandchildren (and beyond) in the ways of his faith and addiction to chlorine!
Rachael Sokol Assistant Coach
Email: coachrachael@ocst.net
Hello, my name is Rachael Sokol. Like many of you, swimming has been a passion for me. I have been immersed in the swimworld since I was 6 years old. I swam competitively until I was 17. I thought that I was going to work my way to my Olympic dreams, but that dream was cut short. Due to multiple knee surgeries, I had to stop swimming. You know the saying, once a swimmer, always a swimmer. I went straight from in the water, to coaching on deck. I assisted my coach throughout the rest of high school, and throughout my college years. After college I left the swimworld due to work, and having a family of my own. Once my kids were older, and on a swim team, my passion for swimming returned full force. I was an assistant coach, with the North Clackamas Aquatic Park team, Piranhas, for 4 years, and have been with the Cavs Highschool swim team for 3 seasons. And now, I'm incredibly happy to be with Oregon City Swim Team.
Since the end of July 2018, I have had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know the OC swimmers. I am eager to continue to help them grow as swimmers, as well as individuals. As my favorite fish says, "just keep swimming"!

Kirsti Golgotiu Assistant Coach
Email: kgolgo@gmail.com
Kristi Golgotiu is so excited to be an assistant coach for Oregon City Swim Team! As a mom of three amazing athletes, she has volunteered in their various sports explorations and loved every minute.
Her personal background is full of sports including soccer, volleyball, track & field, cross country, but her swimming started with ocean lifeguarding. In college, Kirsti swam with the Pepperdine University Women's Swim Team (Div I), with her favorite being fly and free sprints.
She brings her sports experience with her when assisting OCST kids of all ages and skill levels, knowing that it is never too late to become a competitive swimmer regardless of your initial ability. It just takes a developing feel of the water, and a healthy dose of GRIT.
Kristi now swims with the fun Oregon City Tankers Masters Team so that she can better relate to the kids workouts, challenges, and successes more personally. With all three of her kids joining the swim team and taking off with their own swim achievements, and her husband being their biggest supporter, the Golgotiu family has truly become a "swim family."
