Marshall Eriksen è un personaggio della sitcom How I Met Your Mother. È interpretato da Jason Segel e doppiato in italiano da Gianluca Iacono.

Il personaggio
Nato in Minnesota, in una piccola cittadina chiamata St. Cloud, pertanto, nei primi mesi a New York, si trova spaesato dalla grandezza della città e spaventato dal non essere più in un ambiente "raccolto" come nella cittadina, ma nonostante questo conserva l'animo onesto e gentile proprio delle sue origini. Questa sua indole non lo porta mai ad attaccar briga finanche ad aver paura di fare a botte, anche se, nella quarta stagione, si scopre che, quando si scatena, è inarrestabile. Fin dall'infanzia nutre il bisogno di salvare la Terra e l'ambiente, cosa che lo porterà a studiare legge alla Wesleyan University, per diventare avvocato ambientalista. Qui incontra per la prima volta Ted e Lily. Anche se lontano da casa, è estremamente legato alla sua famiglia: con il suo "solo" metro e novantacinque di altezza è il "piccolo di famiglia" e per questo ha ingaggiato spesso violente lotte con i fratelli maggiori, che superano i due metri. Ma fra tutti è legatissimo a suo padre, Marvin, che morirà nella sesta stagione della serie.: a Marshall servirà molto tempo per accettare questo fatto, ricordandolo come un grand'uomo amato da tutti a St. Cloud.

Ha una vecchia auto, una Pontiac Fiero regalatagli dai fratelli maggiori Marvin Jr e Marcus e costatagli una serie di scherzi crudeli, che fa poi rottamare a malincuore. Ha una fissazione per il mostro di Loch Ness sulla cui esistenza non pone alcun dubbio, e in generale è superstizioso. Ha la scomoda abitudine di mettere in musica frasi ed eventi per lui importanti (inclusa la password per scoprire se ha passato il test per esercitare la professione di avvocato); è appassionato di giochi da tavolo, nei quali è imbattibile, arrivando anche a capirli al volo (persino in lingue che non conosce) e inventarne (spesso dedicati a Lily). Nel passato è stato un grande schiacciatore di basket ed era soprannominato "Tornado Bianco". Fan di Guerre stellari, è fra i pochi ad apprezzare gli Ewok.

La storia d'amore con Lily
All'università incontra quello che sarà il suo primo e unico amore, Lily Aldrin.

Rimangono fidanzati per 9 anni, finché si lasciano poco prima del matrimonio: a lei viene offerta l'occasione di partecipare ad un corso di pittura in una prestigiosa accademia, il sogno della sua vita, ma questo corso coinciderebbe con la data del loro matrimonio. Per questo si lasciano durante l'estate tra la prima e la seconda stagione.

Lily torna in seguito a New York a causa degli scarsi risultati ottenuti al corso di arte, e nonostante le sue suppliche affinché Marshall le dia una seconda possibilità, lui preferisce non buttarsi nuovamente a capofitto nella sua storia d'amore con lei, sentendo il bisogno di trovare la sua identità, fuori dalla sua relazione con Lily. In una puntata, Marshall uscirà con una cameriera, ma l'intervento di Lily li separerà. Infine, Marshall la perdona e tornano insieme, fino a sposarsi.

Dopo il matrimonio comprano un appartamento, che però si rivelerà essere in pendenza e in una zona invasa dall'odore tossico di un depuratore di acque. Per farlo aggiustare, Lily riesce a vendere i suoi quadri ad un veterinario che li apprezza per il loro effetto ansiolitico sui cani.

Dopo qualche anno, Marshall decide insieme a Lily di concepire un bambino, che chiameranno Marvin, in onore del padre di Marshall, e Nontimuovere (Wait for it), per un accordo con Barney. I due andranno a vivere nella casa dei nonni di Lily, nei sobborghi. In seguito, Ted lascia alla coppia il suo appartamento, così che possano crescervi il loro figlio in un ambiente più cittadino. In seguito avranno pure una bambina, Daisy. Nell'ultimo episodio i due sposi avranno un terzo figlio, ciò li spingerà a trasferirsi in una casa più grande.

Studio e lavoro
Marshall studia giurisprudenza per diventare avvocato per la tutela dell'ambiente. Passa l'esame di avvocato con successo, ma non riesce a trovare un impiego idoneo ai suoi obiettivi. Barney gli trova allora un lavoro nella Goliath National Bank, dove lui stesso lavora. Si licenzia per seguire il suo vecchio sogno di diventare un avvocato ambientalista.

Marshall trova lavoro in uno studio legale che si prodiga per la difesa dell'ambiente, ma nemmeno questo nuovo lavoro lo appaga come credeva; dopo aver perso una causa molto importante, lo studio subisce una forte crisi andando in fallimento. Marshall arriva così alla conclusione che il lavoro come avvocato non sarebbe bastato a migliorare il mondo e decide dunque di dare una svolta alla sua carriera facendo domanda per diventare un giudice. Ma alla fine decide di rifiutare il posto che gli viene offerto come giudice per seguire la moglie in Italia, a Roma per lavoro.

Nell'anno 2016, Marshall torna a fare l'avvocato lavorando nuovamente per le multinazionali, mentre nel 2018 realizza le sue ambizioni quando gli viene offerto un altro posto come giudice. Inoltre rivela di essersi candidato per un seggio della Corte Suprema dello Stato, che otterrà nel 2020.

Rapporti con gli amici
Il migliore amico di Marshall è Ted. Coinquilini alla Wesleyan, non legano immediatamente, ma un incredibile viaggio a bordo della Fiero, e il rischio di morire assiderati li farà legare per la vita. Trasferiti a New York, diventeranno coinquilini, con la presenza frequente di Lily. A simboleggiare la loro amicizia, hanno appeso due spade incrociate sul muro sopra il pianoforte. Ted è il testimone di nozze di Marshall oltre che il padrino del piccolo Marvin, assieme a Robin e Barney.

Barney, conosciuto più tardi, avrà un normale rapporto di amicizia, finché andrà a lavorare alla GNB assieme a lui. In questo periodo entra piano piano nel suo mondo di assurdità, scherzi e cinismo. Barney ha officiato il suo matrimonio con Lily. Barney spesso trova assurdo il fatto che Marshall sia stato solo con Lily, infatti spesso ha cercato di spingerlo a frequentare altre donne, ma in realtà Barney, segretamente, ritiene lui e Lily la coppia più bella che abbia mai incontrato, infatti quando Lily aveva lasciato Marshall per andare a San Francisco, Marshall scoprirà che era stato Barney a convincerla a tornare. Proprio per questo Marshall deciderà di fare anche di Barney testimone delle proprie nozze insieme a Ted. Barney odia il fatto che Ted consideri Marshall il suo migliore amico invece che lui. Marshall gli farà da secondo testimone di nozze quando lui sposerà Robin.

Lily è il suo grande amore e la sua unica ragione di vita, pensiero che non rinuncia mai a esprimere. Ogni volta che il gruppo esprime un parere su qualcuno di famoso con cui cederebbero, Marshall ribadisce sempre che ha solo Lily in testa. Marshall è molto geloso di sua moglie, anche se raramente trascende.

Con Robin, l'ultima arrivata nel gruppo, non ha mai particolarmente legato: in una puntata Marshall le mostra prima un bar frequentato da originari del Minnesota e poi un altro per canadesi, comunque, in quello stesso episodio, Marshall le farà capire quanto Robin sia importante per lui e per il resto del gruppo. Diversamente dagli altri, Marshall è sempre stato l'unico ad appoggiare la storia amorosa tra Robin e Ted, spingendo sempre l'amico a farsi avanti con lei, senza mai arrendersi. In un episodio, quando Robin e Marshall andarono a prendere Lily all'aeroporto in auto, hanno avuto modo di confrontarsi riguardo al loro punto di vista opposti sull'amore, Marshall infatti sostiene che l'amica sia cinica e fredda, ma Robin invece è dell'opinione che Marshall, essendo stato solo con Lily, non conosca bene tutte le sfumature dell'amore e delle relazioni di coppia, comunque, sempre nello stesso episodio, Robin accetta la visione di Marshall dell'amore, anche se diversa dalla sua.

Gli schiaffi a Barney
Dopo aver perso una scommessa con Marshall (sul fatto che Robin fosse stata in passato una pornostar o meno), quest'ultimo deve dargli cinque schiaffi come pegno. In seguito, nella settima stagione, si aggiungeranno altri tre schiaffi, per un totale di otto.
 Il primo nell'episodio Lo schiaffone (seconda stagione), subito dopo aver vinto la scommessa.
 Il secondo nell'episodio Gelosia (seconda stagione), dopo aver assistito per ore al suo spettacolo teatrale volutamente noioso.
 Il terzo nell'episodio Lo schiaffeggiamento (terza stagione). Marshall mostra a Barney un sito da lui creato, con un conto alla rovescia. Il count-down termina durante il giorno del Ringraziamento, festa che Marshall trasforma nello "Schiaffeggiamento". A questo schiaffo, Marshall ha anche dedicato una canzone, You Just Got Slapped (nella versione italiana adattata come Uno schiaffo t'ho dato e cantata da Gianluca Iacono, il doppiatore dello stesso Marshall).
 Il quarto nell'episodio La vendetta della sberla (quinta stagione) ed avviene esattamente due anni dopo l'ultimo schiaffo, sempre nel giorno del Ringraziamento/Schiaffeggiamento. Marshall come regalo cede la sberla a Ted e Robin, a patto che la diano prima del tramonto. Dal momento che tra litigi e atti di gentilezza, nessuno si decideva a dare lo schiaffo a Barney, alla fine è sempre Marshall a rifilarglielo.
 Il quinto e il sesto nell'episodio Scampato pericolo (settima stagione). In questo episodio Barney baratta con Marshall tre schiaffi da aggiungersi a quello che già gli rimaneva per potersi togliere la cravatta con le paperelle che Marshall, in seguito a una scommessa vinta, gli aveva imposto di mettersi per un anno. Alla fine della contrattazione, Marshall, possedendo quattro schiaffi, ne dà subito due a Barney.
 Il settimo nell'episodio L'arte degli schiaffi (nona stagione). In questo episodio Marshall, in uno dei soliti flashback, racconta del suo fantomatico "addestramento" in Cina per prepararsi a dare la sberla più potente che possa mai esserci, parodiando Kill Bill: Volume 1. Nel racconto fantasioso di Marshall egli deve affrontare tre prove sotto la supervisione di tre maestri cinesi, impersonati da Robin, Lily e Ted. La sberla avviene il giorno prima del matrimonio tra Barney e Robin: dapprima Marshall manca il bersaglio, ma poco dopo, avendolo rincorso nel bosco, gli dà finalmente la penultima sberla.
 L'ottavo ed ultimo nell'episodio Finalmente all'altare poco prima dell'arrivo di Robin all'altare (nona stagione).

Acadian Brown Cotton
Randon Dufrene for validating the importance of Acadian Brown Cotton as a Certified Louisiana Product
Acadian Brown Cotton: The Fabric of Acadiana
Extended Exhibition Dates: September 11, 2020 – June 30, 2021
The Hilliard University Art Museum is pleased to announce the exhibition Acadian Brown
Cotton: The Fabric of Acadiana. This exhibition explores and analyzes the history of handwoven
brown cotton textiles. Using genealogy, historic maps, photographs, audio and video components,
furniture, tools, and brown cotton textiles, Acadian Brown Cotton demonstrates the historical
significance and cultural impact of the Acadian brown cotton tradition. It will also seek to educate
regional audiences about an aspect of their culture they may be unaware of, casting new light on the
"itchy, brown blankets" in people's attics by demonstrating their artistry and value, as well as the
tradition's continued vitality and relevancy.
Drawing from the expertise of several highly respected cultural authorities, this exhibition delves into
the high value Acadian culture places on self-sufficiency and how this impacted the development of the
Acadian brown cotton tradition. The exhibition highlights the process by which Acadian brown cotton
textiles were created and the domestic context in which they were used by including a full suite of
weaving tools alongside an installation of mid-19th century Acadian furniture, all handmade by the
Acadians using native materials

Acadian Brown Cotton homespun textiles donated to Lafayette Science Museum
The Acadian Brown Cotton Project strives to document, preserve and promote Louisiana's unique heirloom cotton. Through the generous contribution of the Jacky Vidrine Estate in Ville Platte, Evangeline Parish, nine Acadian Brown Cotton homespun textiles were donated to the Lafayette Science Museum. Through the expert coordination of Judy McBane, Village Appraisals, Suzanne Breaux and Elaine Bourque, Field to Fashion in Acadiana team members, six blankets, one sheet, a baby blanket and a clerical stole are now resting comfortably in the Museum's temperature and humidity controlled environment. All are wonderful additions to the
Museum's well-documented collection of early Acadiana textiles and weaving tools. Long time supporters of our project, the LSM hosted the Acadian Brown Cotton Round Table and screened a preview of our documentary, "Coton jaune - Acadian Brown Cotton - A Cajun Love Story". Museum Director, Kevin Krantz and Collections Curator Deborah Clifton welcomed the donation last week. Elaine fully documented the textiles with photographs, detailed descriptions and measurements. Family genealogy is an important part of Elaine's on going research and the Vidrine family history revealed interesting early connections.
Jacqueline Olivier Vidrine - 1929-2018
Jacqueline Olivier Vidrine, nee Jacqueline Elma Olivier dit "Jacky" to her friends, was the widow of Drouet W. Vidrine (Sr.), and a noted historian and genealogist. She was elected president of the Louisiana State Historical Association, and a founding member of the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL). She was also appointed by the Governor as a member of the State of Louisiana's Commission on Historical Records and Cultural Resources.
Ms. Vidrine was truly a treasure and we are pleased to have taken part in the
preservation of her historic legacy.

I have been considering the idea of making these blog posts daily. Seeing as how I am behind my computer most of the day I don't see why I couldn't set aside a little bit of time to make a brief post.
I will try to pursue and execute this new schedule starting today.
My lovely lady Jesselle (Gazelle) gave me the greenlight to grab a new keyboard and mouse! My previous ones were both dying more or less. You wouldn't write with a bad pen so why would you program with a bad keyboard?
The new on is a mechanical board and I absolutely love it. I am able to work a lot more efficiently now. The keyboard is a Razer BLACKWIDOW ULTIMATE.
I mean just look at that grass. It is able to bend freely thanks to some fancy sprite stretching. The best part is that it isn't all that expensive to do either so you will likely see fields of beautiful foliage moving with the wind.
I will have some progress to show in tomorrows post. It is just a ton of back-end and UI work right now. I promise it is some awesome stuff though.


Love Your Ego: EGOtalk: When your Grandma asks about your BOYFRIEND!
EGOtalk: When your Grandma asks about your BOYFRIEND!
Hi Egos, I've got the perfect topic for another EGOtalk! As you all know everything that happens in my life or every thought that buggs me will be converted into a post here!
So this is what happened: I recently talked to my grandma (total surprise after reading the title, right?! :D) on the phone. We were talking about how things were and all. I'm so bad with keeping in touch via telephone. Most of the people I know from my hometown use social network sites. Even though my grandparents can easily write emails they still prefer an oral conversation. However I just tend to forget calling regularly. It's one of these things you should do right when you're thinking about them and not postpone it until later. The good thing about that is that there are a lot of things to share in the end.
Anyways my grandma and I talked about work, health (she's reached that age where she can talk a lot about diseases) until the apparently most favourite question of all my relatives popped up: Cathy is there no young man in your life?
I guess it won't work for mush longer since I'm getting to THAT age. You know that age when people start expecting you to have a "serious relationship" that lasts longer than 3 months. Well let's see what the next couple of months bring :-D Everything can change in an instant. However I can already picture our conversation once there really is a boyfriend to discuss. I guess there will be a bunch of more things that I don't really want to talk about with her.
Before this article ends why don't we listen to this very appropriate song right here?
Thanks for the Liebster Award!

Next Up in the BlackBerry Pipeline... the 9220?!!
As can be expected when a post like this is made without an accompanying photo or spec sheet, it can and will be met with a lot of questioning on its validity and source. Sometimes the info is wrong, sometimes it's really wrong, but sometimes it's Right! I'm throwing this blog post up because... well.. I think the info in this case is RIGHT (have now spoken to a trusty source who has confirmed laying eyes on official info surrounding it - working on getting more specs...but we're hearing it may have a touchscreen too!).
So don't be surprised if when you see pics and more info on the BlackBerry 9220 (current device model) surface in the weeks and months ahead. No word on timeline, but it only makes sense. I wouldn't think for a second that RIM's pipeline is going to stop after the Bold, 8220, Javelin, Niagra and Thunder... the devices are only going to keep coming and they're only going to get better and BETTER! Exciting times, but dang... I just want the BlackBerry Bold to be released in North America already!!

Q: Apply patch to the code base from java code using any library like SVNKIT I have a patch file that needs to be applied in the working directory of codebase checked out using SVN. I need to write program to do this. Now I used SVNKIT jar to do (checkout from repository, updating code base, reverting any local changes). Now I could not figure out a way to apply a patch to the code base. Is there any way to do?

A: With SVNKit, use the "doPatch(java.io.File, java.io.File, boolean, int)" method of the SVNDiffClient class:
Arguments:

*

*the source patch file

*the target directory

*"dryRun" - if "true", the patching process is carried out, and full notification feedback is provided, but the working copy is not modified

*"stripCount" - specifies how many leading path components should be stripped from paths obtained from the patch (usually "0")

Who among you hasn't seen one?
It is the hour of the hand.
The sofa is that of the hand.
each evening at the same time.
when I am lying on the sofa.
Why does it roam about my room?
but with a great need to caress?
in giving the most tender caress.
but instead gives you a caress.
but you let yourself go.
And now it's taking me away.
between the whorehouse and the tavern.
mouth against mud, against the wall.
come to me all content.
− 'Evening, you made it!
− How skinny you are!
− Did you come here just to make a ruckus?
− Know how to play Lischino?
− You must have no balls!
− You're like the baby Jesus!
− Stop that staring, I can't take it anymore.
− C'mon, get up, we'll take you on!
− C'mon, get down and beg!
the one who lives in the castle!
− You're a sad and crazy little man!
− You came by yourself!
− What a wimpy little face!
− Who brought me here!
− The devil take you back!
− You'd like the excuse!
− He just wants a feel!
− Throw him down the stairs!
− Toss him out, he's trash!
− The pain'll do him good!
− They've caught him in the act!
and they chase behind me.
the hand steadies me, it steadies me.
like so many wild dogs.
They all shout at me and insult me!
racked by blows of coughing.
they're chasing and chasing me.
here it is: my death!
I truly feel that I'm dying.
lays me down on the plush sofa.
and leaves me there to die.
But I could get away from that hand.
Set that sofa on fire!
you're suffering so, poor man!
Change the room you sleep in.
like the most vulgar man.
in the kingdom of fairies!
what it's like to die!
che cosa sia una mano.
Chi è che non l'à vista?
una mano che non s'è mai vista.
per il mio terribile perché.
Quel divano è quello della mano.
tutte le sere alla medesim'ora.
quand'io sono disteso sul divano.
Perchè gira nella mia stanza?
nella sua avidità di carezzare?
e che invece vi accarezza.
E ora mi porta via.
tra il bordello e l'osteria.
sbattere il muso nel fango, nel muro.
nella sala di questo castello?
mi vengono incontro tutte contente.
— Buona sera, eccoti qua!
— Non vieni mica qui per far camorra?
— Il giuoco di Lischino lo conosci?
— Devi aver poca borra!
— Sembri il bambin Gesù!
— Non vedete non ne può più.
— Via, su ti riscaldiamo!
— Fatti sotto fatti sotto!
che vive in quel castello!
— Sei un povero matto, poverino!
— No, sono quel signore….
Chi mi ci à portato?
— Da te ci sei venuto!
— Chi mi ci à portato?
— Il diavoli che ti riporti!
— La scusa l'ài trovata bella!
— È venuto a far flanella!
— Buttatelo giù dalle scale!
— Fuori fuori, è robetta!
— È bene che si faccia male!
— L'ànno preso a civetta!
la mano mi sostiene, mi sostiene.
Tutti mi gridano e m'insultano!
Io mi sento veramente morire.
sono vitrei i miei occhi.
Ma io la potrei fuggire tale mano.
in fondo voi soffrite, poveretto!
Cambiate la camera da letto.
Quali sono le mie fate?
Quali sono le mie porte?
Nicholas Benson's translation of Attilio Bertolucci's Winter Journey was published in 2005 by Free Verse editions of Parlor Press. His translation of Aldo Palazzeschi's Arsonist, published by Otis Books/Seismicity Editions in 2013, was supported by a NEA Translation Fellowship.
Aldo Palazzeschi (Florence 1885-1974 Rome) had a distinguished career as a writer of essays, stories, novels, and poems. He won particular acclaim for the novels The Materassi Sisters (1934), The Cuccoli Brothers (1948), and Roma (1953). Palazzeschi's early avant-garde works, the anti-novel The Man of Smoke (1911) and the volume of poetry The Arsonist (1910), from which this poem is taken, were both originally published by F.T. Marinetti's Futurist press.

Austin Meade Confirms 'Happier Alone' Remix with Koe Wetzel
Buddy Logan Published: February 8, 2021
Austin Meade's "Happier Alone" landed inside our top 30 for 2020, holding down the number 20 spot, it's a great, rockin' song on it's own; I just hope y'all are ready for the Koe Wetzel update.
Just in time for the one-year-anniversary of its release, Austin Meade has re-cut the song with Koe Wetzel, and will be re-releasing it this Valentine's Day weekend. Koe told us back in December, when he was on Radio Texas, LIVE!, that he and Austin were cooking up something in the studio during their acoustic run, welp, this is it.
Happier Alone" has really changed my life just since it's release on Valentine's Day (2020). We felt it was a special song from the day it was written and I'm so thankful for the people that helped my translate such a simple idea into a kickass song and video.
And if you guys follow Koe or Austin on socials, it's apparent that the two have something more for us, in addition to the remix, it looks as though we'll be getting a new music video as well. It looks like the guys are back in the skating rink for it, most likely a continuation of the original "Happier Alone" video that Austin dropped last November. We're ready. Oh and don't forget, Meade's new album, Black Sheep, is out on February, 19th.
Craving more Texas and Red Dirt music? Download the Radio Texas, LIVE! app on ANDROID or IOS to continuously stream the best music in the world. Be sure to give my new podcast a listen to too, Buddy Logan's Aircheck features interviews with the scene's biggest acts and is available to stream or download everywhere that fine podcasts can be found.

Fuel price hikes, scarce rice add to hardship in Myanmar | Inquirer Business
Fuel price hikes, scarce rice add to hardship in Myanmar
Agence France-Presse / 11:07 AM August 21, 2022
People queue to buy cheap vegetable oil, in Yangon on Aug. 18, 2022. (Photo by AFP)
Yangon, MYANMAR – Dozens of people queue under monsoon drizzle for subsidized cooking oil in Myanmar's commercial hub Yangon, waiting for one of the many commodities that have become scarce as economic misery strikes the city.
The country's economy tanked following a military coup last year and has been further rattled by the junta's attempts to seize foreign exchange as well as erratic rules governing businesses and imports.
Living standards are being hammered by global commodity price spikes sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, leaving many struggling to get by and relying on subsidies or charity to put food on the table.
"People can't spend much of their income on food because of higher commodity prices," said 55-year-old housewife Khin Khin Than as she waited to fill her plastic bottle with oil sold by a local association.
The market price for roughly 1.6 kilograms of oil has rocketed to 9,000 kyat ($4.25) from 5,000 kyat, she said.
"If only one person is working, a family won't have much money left for food."
In July the World Bank said about 40 percent of the population were living under the national poverty line.
Consumer Price Index inflation hit 17.3 percent year-on-year in March, it added.
The price of rice has also shot up thanks to increased transport costs and as the military and anti-junta fighters turn swathes of the country into battlegrounds.
Even the state-backed Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper carries almost daily reports on the rising cost of rice, eggs, vegetables, bus travel and rent.
Last week the price of a liter of diesel jumped by around six US cents overnight, state media reported, to a high of 2,440 kyat ($1.15) per liter.
On the day before last year's coup, customers in Yangon were paying 695 kyat at the pump in Yangon according to industry figures.
This week the junta announced it had formed a steering committee to purchase fuel from ally Russia, but gave no details on when or how this would begin.
Many people are relying on charity to make ends meet.
"If we cook at home, there is no electricity, rice is expensive to buy," said Lay Lay, 68, one of hundreds queuing at a monastery for a free meal of curry and rice.
"Cooking costs are too high for someone who is retired."
Ashin Ottamasiri, who supervises the distribution, said his monastery is giving out coupons to 500 people every day for food the monks cook using ingredients donated to them.
"But some days there are more than 600 people," he said. "If we run out of rice and curry, we give cakes, snacks and fruits."
"I can't give shelter for many people but I can share food so people will have meals like I do."

may not function as described. Check back for updates.
This tutorial is based on Matthew Gilliard's "Flow 101" blog post.
Flexible model of function composition. Sequencing, fan out/in, retries, error-handling and more.
Code-driven. Flow does not rely on massive yaml or json descriptors or visual graph-designers. Workflows are defined in code, expressed as a function, naturally.
Inspectable. Flow shows you the current state of your workflow, allows you to drill into each stage to see logs, stack traces and more.
Language agnostic. The initial Flow implementation which this post will use is in Java but support for other langauges has already started including Python, Go and JS.
Where all the this and that are FaaS functions.
If you've used a promises-style API before then this will be familiar. The closest analogue in core Java is the CompletionStage API which was even called Promise in a pre-release draft.
Internally the Flow class submits each stage in this workflow to the Flow Server. You'll meet it soon. The Flow Server will then orchestrate each stage as an individual call to Fn. Flow Server is responsible for working out which stages are ready to be called, calling them, handling the results and triggering any following stages until you reach the point where there's no more work to do.
This example could easily be written without Flow but it's good to start simple.
Currently FnProject is available to download, to experiment with, and to run on your private cloud. A managed service by Oracle is in the works. To play with Flow at the moment you will need to run everything locally, but it's not hard. We need fn, the Fn server, the Flow Server and not necessary but nice-to-have is the Flow Server UI. These run on ports 8080, 8081 and 3002 respectively so you might need to configure firewalls to allow access.
As you make your way through this tutorial, look out for this icon . Whenever you see it, it's time for you to perform an action.
If you started the Fn server in the foreground, the output looks something like the following. The version number below is old. You should see the latest version number in your case.
time="2017-10-11T13:12:44Z" level=info msg="Serving Functions API on address `:8080`"
If your Fn server is running in the foreground, you will need a new terminal window.
The Flow Server needs to know how to call the Fn server, so ask Docker which IP address to use.
Now, everything's set so lets crack on!
Make peace with yourself after that, then let's get the code in shape.
Before we can build this we need to add the Flow dependencies to the pom.xml file.
Check that it has built successfully, then deploy this to an app which we call flow101 on the local Fn server.
Then configure the function to talk to the Flow Server.
fn config app flow101 COMPLETER_BASE_URL "http://$FLOWSERVER_IP:8081"
Click on any of these and see the detail for each one expanded at the bottom of the screen.
This shows that Flow is well-suited for asynchronous functions which result in a side-effect (posting to slack, for example).
Consider how else you could have achieved what we did in 4 lines of Java above. First of all there are actually 3 different functions at play, each of which would need its own codebase and entrypoint. Then, consider that Flow chains values through them while preserving type information. We could have written an overarching "Call function A using an HTTP client, call function B the same" type orchestrator function (ugh), or even hard-coded each function to call the next one in the chain (ugh ugh). Perhaps we could have used an Enterprise Service Bus to glue it all together (multiple ughs).
We think Flow hits a very sweet spot of allowing sophisticated stateful apps defined in code, and maintaining the promised benefits of FaaS a la Serverless Manifesto. We think you'll like it too.
So, congratulations - we've covered a lot! You've got a Flow function running, seen how to use the API to compose simple transformations and run things in parallel.
Go to the Flow 102 tutorial to take your Flows to the next level.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION & CORPORATE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Dr. Gruber's MIT PhD in economics thesis (1965), "Productivity, Education, and Change in the Labor Force," provides guidance on current policy and management challenges. Dr. Gruber's work on this early new paradigm is a guide for public policy in the 21st century. Dr. Gruber's prediction in his 1965 thesis of shrinking middle class and skill shortage are serious issues facing the United States in 2016.
Dr. Gruber is a leading visionary in the imperative for competent collaboration between government and private sector strategic information technology planning and education for competitive advantage. He co-taught the MIT Government Science Policy course with Professor Robert C. Wood, then Chairman of the MIT Political Science Department. Professor Wood was the original co-chair of "The Human Factor in the Transfer of Technology" conference funded by NASA. Professor Wood then became a Secretary in Lyndon Johnson's cabinet, leading to Gruber-Marquis co-chair of the MIT conference. Conference proceedings were then published in Gruber-Marquis Factors in the Transfer of Technology (MIT Press, 1969).
Dr. Gruber's client assignments included recognition of strategic information power for effective corporate public affairs for the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA). Dr. Gruber published articles in 1980 and 1982 on computers and public affairs, which anticipated the current standard computer-based ground game in political campaigning today. Articles include "Using Computers in Corporate Public Affairs," (Public Relations Review, 1982) and "The New Management in Corporate Public Affairs," (Public Affairs Review, 1980).
Dr. Gruber's government regulation experience includes an economic expert in four antitrust litigations. MIT professor Maury Adelman, who specialized in industrial organization, employed Dr. Gruber to assist in the DuPont-Cellophane case in which the government accused DuPont of a monopoly in the cellophane industry.
When New York City Bonds were close to default and required federal funding, a program was launched by the CEOs of four large corporations with headquarters in NYC, Chase, Citibank, AT&T, and Pfizer, to sell Congress to back the NYC Bonds. Dr. Gruber was employed as an economic expert and contributed to the success of this program. NYC bankruptcy was averted.
In the late 1980s Dr. Gruber consulted on technology forces in the transformation of the securities industry with Institutional Investor, the recognized judge of asset management competence. The editor of Institutional Investor published Dr. Gruber's article, "Planning for the Next Market Break," on Wall Street's response to the new forces driving a revolution. The editor introductory quote for Dr. Gruber's article: "Wall Street is paralyzed when it comes to automation. Here's a way to get moving again." The market crash in 2015/2016 happened because of the risks recognized in Dr. Gruber's technology warning in the 1970s and 1980s.

Luckily for all dog lovers that enjoy reading, the last couple of months have been loaded with numerous and diverse new books about our beloved furry friends and their humans. Without including technical books, i.e. training, dog care, or breed information, from philosophy to humor, every subject of our human existence is or can be related to them. The human-canine bond is the main theme of many stories recently released, which we thought could be a heartwarming pastime for the upcoming Holiday season, and perhaps a nice Christmas present for those who were blessed with the existence of a four legged family member.
The canine star, best known for his role in "The Artist", "Mr. Fix It" and "Water for Elephants", has released his autobiography called Uggie — My Story, which looks back at his remarkable life and career. The autobiography of the now-retired actor who inaugurated the Golden Collar Awards and received his first award for his outstanding performance in "The Artist" gives readers the opportunity to learn about this incredibly talented artist. Even if Uggie can act, skateboard, and perform lots of different tricks, he is not yet able to write. So, this responsibility was delegated to the British author Wendy Holden, who collaborated in the biography of other Hollywood stars, such as Goldie Hawn. However, what Uggie can do, and certainly did, is demonstrate his love for Reese Witherspoon, his co-star in "Water for Elephants" to whom he dedicated his book – "For Reese, my love, my light". The author put in paper the story told by Uggie's adoptive Dad and trainer Omar Von Muller. The latter shared all about Uggie's life, from his difficult beginnings to being one of the most famous canines of 2012.
This autobiography was released by Pudsey, the winner of Britain Got Talent 2012. In his book, he tells the story of what made him the perfect dance partner for his owner Ashleigh Butler, with whom he caught the attention of an entire nation when he won one of the most important competitions aired on television.
This book is a photo book, where the author, a pet photographer and animal rights activist, caught the funny spectacle of diving dogs seen from beneath the water. The photographs published in the book quickly became a success online and and have been featured in The New York Times, Animal Planet, and numerous other important media outlets. Casteel has been recognized by TIME Magazine and The American Humane Society for his animal advocacy efforts.
Robin Layton is one of the most talented photographers of America and this book is a compilation of pictures of celebrities and their dogs, as well as wonderful letters where they express the unique love they share with their canine companions. Oprah Winfrey, Hilary Duff, Willow Smith, Mariel Hemingway, Fran Drescher, and Tony Bennet, among many others, wrote touching letters to celebrate the loyalty as well as unconditional love and friendship that dogs provide us with.
November was also a busy month with great releases.
This is a story about the marvelous bond between humans and dogs as well as the healing power of love, which can truly make miracles.
This book explores the evolution of the canine-human relationship throughout time, as well as the important place dogs nowadays have in our life, family, and society.
This book is for therapy dogs' fans or any other person interested in real stories about the miracles pooches can make. It demonstrates the impact of dog therapy, not only on the life of handicapped children, but also in the author's recovery from a difficult and troubled childhood. Edwards is a dog trainer and behavioral consultant registered at Pet Partner Program of Delta Society.
December promises to be full of new releases. Therefore, we will update you as new books are issued. We will be pleased to receive your feedback and we encourage you to add your comments as well as your reading recommendations.

Q: Woocommerce action hook to redirect to custom thank you page I want to redirect to a custom page after my customers make a payment. Now it goes to a very vanilla, "Your order has been received" page. I have been trying to figure this out for a bit and I'm pretty sure I have to add an action hook to my themes function file. And I found some code that I thought would work but it doesn't.
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', function(){

global $woocommerce;
$order = new WC_Order();
if ( $order->status != 'failed' ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; // or whatever url you want
}
});

A: JavaScript redirect? Seriously?
You can use template_redirect with no problems.
Example:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'correct_redirect' );

function correct_redirect(){

    /* we need only thank you page */
    if( is_wc_endpoint_url( 'order-received' ) && isset( $_GET['key'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect('any url');
        exit;
    }
}

You can find more examples with redirects here https://rudrastyh.com/woocommerce/thank-you-page.html#redirects

A: The reason why that doesn't work is because that hook is to late in the execution, after the headers have been sent. Therefor you can not send a new redirect header to the client/browser.
But you are on the right way with your code. This is what I would do(inspired by Howlin's response, but a lot cleaner):
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', function( $order_id ){
    $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );

    $url = 'http://redirect-here.com';

    if ( $order->status != 'failed' ) {
        echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location = '".$url."'</script>";
    }
});

A: You could copy the thank you page at: wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/checkout/thankyou.php to
wp-content/themes/themename/woocommerce/checkout/thankyou.php and modify that that page. If you want to redirect to a specific page add the following to the thankyou.php file:
<script>
    window.location = 'http://example.com/some-page'
</script>


F&W offers 12 of our favorite baked dessert recipes for the 12 days of Christmas.
The dough recipe here is ideal: durable enough to withstand rolling and rerolling, yet soft enough to cut neatly. The cookies themselves are extremely versatile. They can be simply sprinkled with sugar and baked; or, after they're baked, they can be decorated with royal icing or sandwiched with jam and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
Tina Ujlaki adapted this crunchy, buttery, slightly salty brittle from a recipe by pastry chef Karen DeMasco. When her children were younger, Tina would make it as a holiday gift for their teachers.
Thumbprint cookies—made by pressing a small round of dough with the thumb to form an indentation—are great for filling with chocolate or jam.
Delicate and substantial at the same time, Nick Malgieri's pistachio-topped coconut meringues are chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. For the best results, bake them on a dry day: Humidity can make meringues disappointingly soft.
A stuffed cookie is like a sandwich cookie, only with more cream on the inside—it's fatter, fuller and (if you're the kind of person who twists apart the cookies to get to the cream) better. Pastry chef Jessica Sullivan makes hers with nutty chocolate-chip cookies and silky chocolate ganache.
Pastry chef Wendy Boys unconventionally flavors this Australian dessert with vanilla and fresh oranges, and then—in another break from tradition—tops it with cranberries and mint.

Лугово́е (Лугово́й) —  упразднённый в 1961 году посёлок спецпереселенцев, затем населённый пункт Бакчарского района Томской области России. Полностью прекратил существование в начале 1960-х годов.

География
Посёлок находился в тайге, на некотором удалении от берега реки Галки, приблизительно в 2-4 км западнее нынешнего села Большая Галка. На сегодняшний день здесь, в пределах территории Бакчарского сельского поселения, располагается безлесный участок, вытянутый с запада на восток, который носит название «урочище Луговое». Он окружён лесами (растут осина и берёза), связан просёлочной дорогой с Большой Галкой. Через урочище с юго-востока на северо-запад проходит ЛЭП.

История
Посёлок был образован в 1931 году, для проживания крестьян-спецпереселенцев из Алтайского края и Новосибирской области, числом около 40 семей. Первоначально жители посёлка устроились в землянках. До 1933 года поселенцы занимались хозяйствованием по принципу «супряги» — совместного использования рабочего скота несколькими семьями. В 1933 году был организован колхоз «Нарым», тогда же была построена школа. К началу Великой Отечественной войны в колхозе имелось, по некоторым данным, около 50 коров, 20 лошадей, свиньи. Луговое (или же Луговой) как посёлок спецпоселенцев относился к Галкинской комендатуре Нарымского округа.

В 1961 году, уже после ликвидации системы спецпоселений, произошло объединение колхозов в долине реки Галки: колхоз «Нарым» (Луговое), колхоз «Верхняя Галка» (из одноимённого поселения выше по течению реки, ныне не существует) и колхозы «Северный луч» и «Труд севера» из села Большая Галка были объединены в колхоз имени Кирова, в результате чего жители Лугового, в основе своей, были переселены в Большую Галку; посёлок Луговое, таким образом, прекратил своё существование.

McCallum, A. and Freitag, D. and Pereira, F. 2000. Maximum Entropy Markov Models for Information Extraction and Segmentation. In Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Machine Learning. 591--598
An online version of this paper is available [1].
This paper introduces Maximum Entropy Markov Models as sequential classification model that improves over Hidden Markov Models (HMMs).
Drawbacks with HMMs
The paper points out the following main drawbacks of HMMs
They don't allow the addition of arbitrary overlapping features of observation sequences
They are trained to maximize the joint likelihood of the state and observation sequences, while for many problems, the conditional likelihood of the states given the observations is more relevant
Mathematical Definition of MeMMs
In Maximum Entropy Markov models (MeMMs), the HMM transition and observation functions are replaced by a single function that provides the probability of the current state given the previous state and the current observation. In contrast to HMMs, in which the current observation only depends on the current state, the current observation in an MEMM may also depend on the previous state. In other words, the observations can be thought of as being associated with state transitions rather than with states. Moreover, for each state, such a transition function is given by a distinct Maxent model.
The paper illustrates a modification of the HMM Viterbi inference algorithm to perform inference for MeMMs. It also provides a Generalized Iterative Scaling (GIS) algorithm to train MeMMs, which is guaranteed to converge to a global maximum as long as there is at most one state per label.
For cases where training label sequences are unknown or ambiguous, the paper also gives a modification of the standard Baum-Welch training algorithm for HMMs.
Variations of MeMMs
The paper produces several variations of the basic MeMM architecture explained above:
Factored state representation
To deal with data sparseness problem in standard MeMMs (due to O ( | S | 2 ) {\displaystyle O(|S|^{2})} transition parameters), one can avoid having S different transition functions (one for each state), and just maintain one function, which uses information about the previous state as features. This reduces the expressive power of the model but allows sharing of information across states and alleviates sparseness problems.
Observations in states instead of transitions
Rather than combining transition and emission parameters into a single function, one could represent the transition probabilities as a standard multinomial, and P(S|O) using a Maxent model. This may also help with sparseness.
Environmental model for reinforcement learning
The transition function can also include an action, resulting in a model suitable for representing the environment of a reinforcement agent.
The authors trained 4 different types of models to classify lines from Usenet files into one of 4 categories: head, question, answer and tail. They used a set of 24 boolean features. The types of models they trained were: ME-Stateless (non-sequential Maxent), TokenHMM (a standard 4-state fully connected HMM), FeatureHMM (an HMM where the lines i.e. obsevations were replaced by their corresponding features), and the MeMM model described above. They found that the MeMM outperformed the other approaches.
The original CRF (Lafferty 2001 Conditional Random Fields) papers, published just one year after this paper, introduces an even more expressive model, and CRFs are now considered state-of-the-art for sequential labeling tasks. For a background on exponential models and maximum entropy, the Berger et al CL 1996 paper that introduced the maximum entropy approach to NLP is suggested. The Ratnaparkhi, 1996 paper on Maxent POS tagging also introduces a closely related model.

Meet the Man Behind The Men of the Naughty Jewish Boys Calendar
Last February, I shared a link right here on Jewschool to a Craigslist ad advertising for models for a "Naughty Jewish Boys" calendar. I was so tickled by the idea when I saw it on my friend Duncan Pflaster's Facebook page, I didn't even realize that he had posted the ad – or that the Jewschool post would bring it widespread Jewish media attention. Fast forward five months, and the calendar is a real thing that exists in the world in two versions: the regular and extra-naughty editions. I sat down with Duncan this week to chat about his adventures in putting these calendars together.
Naturally, the first thing I wanted to know about was what kind of controversy the calendar had generated. Duncan's run-ins with the creator of the Nice Jewish Guys calendar have been well documented elsewhere, but I had to know: were religious people offended at the images of nearly-naked men with ritual objects? Were liberals offended at a non-Jewish photographer eroticizing or even fetishizing Jewish men? Nope. "Most everybody has thought it's been a fantastic idea," he told me, "Especially the Jewish press." While he did have a couple of people get upset over eroticizing Judaism, the more common response has been from women saying "it's incredible. Thank you so much for doing this."
While Duncan isn't himself Jewish, he's not entirely disconnected from the community. "I grew up in South Florida," he explained. "I live in NY now, so I'm steeped in Jewish culture. I write plays, and a lot of my plays have Jewish characters, so I've done a lot of research that way, and I know a lot of Jewish actors. My great-great-grandfather was Jewish – he came to America during the unpleasantness with Nazi Germany, but came to America and hid it and married a shiksa… So I have some Jewish blood but no claim to matrilineal descent."
Naughty Jewish Boy Mike
Duncan is familiar with some of the scholarship on Jewish masculinity, but the origins of this project were a little more mundane. "It all started out with joking around on Facebook after I had been to B&H and saw a particularly attractive cashier," Duncan said, referring to the New York City photography store staffed almost entirely by Orthodox Jews. "I posted the Craigslist ad just to see if any models might possibly be interested in doing this – that's what went viral immediately, and that's what caused people to say they wanted to come be a part of it. Just the idea went viral, I didn't have the chance to change my mind."
I tried to push him on whether he, as someone outside the Jewish community, had the right or the standing to craft a project like this, but Duncan's modesty about the project was entirely disarming. You get the sense that his interest is as much about representing an underrepresented population as it is about his personal desire for Jewish men.
Although he didn't post a flyer in the staff lounge at B&H, Duncan did seek models on Model Mayhem and Backstage in addition to Craigslist and found himself with more applicants than months in the year. So what were the selection criteria?
"They had to be over 18, they had to be Jewish, mainly they had to live in NY, although a few people came from different states because they happened to have business in NY. We had one guy from Texas, one from Rhode Island, one from Boston… We had some interest in a couple guys from California, but they ended up not being in. We had so many more people apply than we could actually use," Duncan explained. "The other qualification was how naked they wanted to get. If they wanted to be in the extra-naughty calendar, they had to at least show something. I gave them the option – do they want to go shirtless, underwear, show your butt, go full frontal."
Despite the title of the project, a couple of models got cold feet at the last minute. "One guy was just completely shocked that naked pictures of them were going to be in the calendar, even though in an email he said he was fine with rear nudity, even though he signed the release," Duncan said. "He's still in there under an alias. Another guy backed out of the extra-naughty calendar but is still in the regular calendar. I could have used them anyway, they signed a release, but I didn't."
Naughty Jewish Boy Asher
While Duncan himself doesn't appear in the calendar, he did just about everything else to bring this project to life, from photography to design, to marketing. "I attempted to contact actual calendar makers to see if they'd be interested in taking this on for me," he said, "but it turns out that most people coming to them with an idea in 2014 wouldn't have a calendar until 2016 – it takes them that long to process, so I decided to do it myself."
While I had thought of this as a gay project from the get-go, the reality is more complex. The models are mostly (but not entirely) straight, and there's been significant interest from straight women in the final product. "I think that everybody likes to see attractive men with their clothes off, and we're selling to anybody who would like to see that," Duncan said. "I think women have been conditioned not to express that kind of desire in public, but I get a lot of whispers from women saying this is such a great idea, thank you for doing this. Gay men are much more blatant about it. I post the Naughty Jewish Boy of the week on Twitter and Facebook, and I get men who always say 'this is great.' I find the hefty, hairier men are the ones the men tend to be into, and the slimmer guys tend to elicit responses from the women. There's something for everyone."

US Cruise lines will test for COVID before boarding
- by Barbados Today Traffic	September 21, 2020
Barbados Today Traffic
MIAMI – U.S. cruise lines are vowing a COVID testing plan for all passengers and crew prior to boarding in an effort to safely resume sailing.
The Cruise Lines International Association, a trade group that represents 95% of global ocean-going cruise capacity, said Monday that its members will also require passengers and crew to wear masks while onboard whenever physical distancing can't be maintained.
No date has been set for the resumption of cruising in the U.S., the Caribbean and Mexico. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a no-sail order for U.S. waters through September 30. The association's safety plan will now go to the CDC, which will consider it as the agency decides whether to lift the no-sail order. The order has been extended twice since March.
The cruise association has issued a voluntary suspension of cruises through October 31. In a conference call Monday, Arnold Donald, the president and CEO of Carnival Corp., said once the CDC lifts its order, it will probably take cruise lines at least a month to prepare their ships and train crew before they can sail.
The safety plan requires testing of passengers and crew, but doesn't specify the types of coronavirus tests that companies must use, CLIA Chairman Adam Goldstein said. Passengers and crew must test negative to board.
The plan permits limited shore excursions and requires passengers to wear masks and stay apart from other people during those excursions. Passengers who don't comply won't be allowed to reboard.
The plan also requires ships to increase the amount of fresh air in their ventilation systems and use advanced filtration methods where feasible.
Cruise company executives said the limited resumption of cruising in Europe and elsewhere over the last few weeks has convinced them that cruising can be done safely. Costa Cruises, which is owned by Carnival Corporation, has two cruises of Italy this month. The ships aren't at full capacity and only Italian passengers are on board.
Hundreds of people fell ill aboard crowded cruises earlier this year before the CDC's no-sail order went into effect. Fourteen passengers died after an outbreak aboard Carnival Corp.'s Diamond Princess, which was quarantined off the coast of Japan in February.
Since then, the industry has furloughed thousands of workers and obtained billions in bank loans to stay afloat. CLIA says the U.S. cruise industry supports more than 400 000 jobs and generates $53 billion annually. (CBSMiami/AP)

About Katlin & Eric
Katlin and Eric are a loving, caring couple, fighting for humanity and freedom. Eric served in the United States Army for 12 years as a Special Operation Medic and deployed twice to Iraq. Katlin is a former social worker. Currently, they own a personal training studio together called Love and Muscles in Maine. Katlin and Eric got started in the Freedom movement back in January of 2021, when they joined a local group in Maine. Katlin and Eric were so inspired by their local Maine group, when they traveled to Colorado for Eric to receive some medical treatment, they started a group in Boulder. They saw a tremendous need for these groups all over the country.
Together, Katlin and Eric have been traveling across the United States, helping communities get established. The main focuses of these communities are medical/civil freedoms and unity. This past year has been extremely challenging for everyone. Eric and Katlin have found that these newly formed communities have brought healing and growth to all. People are able to gather, hug, and see each other's faces again!
To make their mission a reality, Katlin and Eric now train all their clients virtually. They put all their belongings in storage and purchased a camper to travel the country to help/inspire other communities to get started. They are asking for your contributions to help them on their mission to unite the country around medical/civil freedoms and community. Your donations will go towards Katlin and Eric's travel costs during this trip. They are doing all of this work on a volunteer basis because they believe so strongly in this mission. Any donation, no matter the size is greatly appreciated. They have tremendous gratitude for every person that supports this cause!
"Many of us have felt alone, and disowned from the rest of society for our views about our bodies and medical freedoms. There is a dark agenda happening here, and it has been in the works for many years. The current systems are failing us and we must create new ones to catch us as the old systems fall. No one is going to save us, except for us! Now is the time to take a stand, and fight for our freedoms and the generations to come. We are so grateful to be in a place in our lives where we can drop what we are doing and fight for the light!"
– Katlin
"Carry your truth with conviction. Let your light shine for others to see. Inspire others to take a stand."
Our mission is to create local communities throughout the country based on medical and civil freedoms. Our hope is to bring people together around the unprecedented times we are in, in relation to medical/civil freedoms. By creating local groups, we start from the ground up, building a new world. As each city and town throughout the country creates their own local communities, a national network of people are ready to take a stand, and build the new world. All are welcome here; this is a non-partisan community.
We are an organization called Community Builders of Freedom. Our purpose is to bring together all of the health freedom groups in the country to form a national presence. Our focus is on local communities getting together to heal, build, and grow. The communities' main focuses are medical and civil freedoms and unity. We are a non-partisan group. The only requirements for membership are a vision of a better world and a willingness to stand for freedom.
We travel across the U.S. to communities that need help setting up. We offer assistance with organization, structure, leadership and connecting groups with national legal assistance. We attend local meetings and offer advice and inspiration. We teach others how to step into courage and take a stand against tyranny. We also offer assistance in collaborating with other groups in the state to create alliances. Lastly, we offer weekly Zoom calls and resources to teach others how to start communities and become leaders.
Consider supporting us with a monthly or one-time donation!

The Highly-Anticipated Film 'Being The Ricardos' Is Neither Here Nor There
By Megan Bianco
When a respected, beloved icon is portrayed on screen, naturally there's a lot of pressure on the casting department to find the absolute perfect actor to fit the part. Even with fictional icons like Scarlett O'Hara or Harry Potter, there was an all-out national search. When it comes to TV history heavyweights like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz getting their own historical drama this year, there was instant puzzlement among Lucy fans.
Aaron Sorkin's new movie, Being the Ricardos (available on Amazon Prime – here's a link to a free 30-day trial), has award-friendly, critical darlings Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem as the legendary leads; despite Australia-based Kidman not being 'all-American,' Spain-born Bardem not Cuban, and both actors being about a decade too old for the characters. Not to mention that the makeup used to make Kidman look like Ball in the promos appeared a little alarming to some.
How and why did these casting decisions happen? Do Sorkin, Kidman and Bardem really have all the talent to recapture the magic of America's favorite TV couple of the 1950's?
The film chronicles the production week of a season 2 episode of the no. 1 sitcom in the country, I Love Lucy. Tension rises as everyone on set tries to dodge awkwardness over press rumors that male lead Desi Arnaz (Bardem) is unfaithful, while Arnaz's wife and female lead, Lucile Ball (Kidman) is facing her own rumors of secretly being registered with the Communist Party.
To home viewers, Lucille and Desi are Lucy & Ricky Ricardo: the funniest and most charming couple on television. But behind the scenes, no one would guess there's trouble at home or in the studio. On top of all this, the network and sponsors are not happy with Lucille's pregnancy announcement and beg her to consider hiding her condition on the show.
A post shared by Amazon Prime Video (@amazonprimevideo)
J.K. Simmons and Nina Arianda co-star as tempestuous "Lucy" castmates William Frawley and Vivian Vance, while Tony Hale plays showrunner Jess Oppenheimer. I have to admit that for about the first hour of Being the Ricardos, it did take me a while to get used to Kidman's and Bardem's casting. Kidman's look in particular is a bit distracting and overcompensating for her lack of resemblance. Interestingly enough, the makeup comes off more natural during the B&W sequences, which I guess proves Orson Welles' opinion that B&W film is the actors' best friend. This isn't to say Kidman and Bardem give poor performances, as both appear to give the material their all. The best cast actor in the biopic has to be Arianda, who really is a dead ringer for Vance in costume.
As for the writing and direction, I feel at this point you go into a Sorkin project knowing what you're going to get. His trademark snappy, witty dialogue is now the way of Woody Allen or Quentin Tarantino, where you can recognize his style instantly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Although I also think he's still stronger with the pen or keyboard than as a film director. But I did like the non-linear approach of Being the Ricardos going back and forth between the week of production and flashbacks showing the origin of Lucille & Desi's marriage.
If you can handle the usual liberties taken with fictionalized real-life stories told on screen, Being the Ricardos might catch your attention this holiday season.
