Why Children Should Try Cardistry
I work with a lot of youth, so I have many opportunities to share some of my passions with children and teenagers. As part of that, I've enjoyed volunteering and teaching kids some simple card tricks and card flourishes. Many of them have never had any exposure to these things, besides seeing some magic on television. For the majority of them it was even their first experience with a custom deck and with quality USPCC printed playing cards.
What especially amazed me was the positive response I had from these kids to cardistry. Most of them had only ever used playing cards for social card games like President. Some had toyed with some card magic, but typically nothing beyond the 21 Card Trick or another simple (and usually boring) mathematical self-worker. Seeing the possibilities of card magic made them super-keen to learn more, and they made rapid progress over several months, quickly mastering intermediate sleights and performing some solid card tricks for me.
But their excitement for card magic paled besides their enthusiasm for cardistry. Card flourishing proved to be a massive hit with these kids, and it was incredible how keen they were to learn and practice different card flourishes. They would happily spend hours watching video tutorials at home, practicing different moves, and learning new flourishes. I even started getting positive feedback from their parents, who were thrilled that their children were developing new interests and hobbies!
Today cardistry is still very much a niche performing art, but slowly more people around the world are being exposed to this phenomenon, and the ranks of cardists are growing rapidly. I'm thrilled about this, because I've seen first hand the joy that cardistry can bring to the lives of children and teenagers. There are some terrific reasons why kids should try cardistry, and here are some reasons why you should consider introducing the children in your life to this exciting art-form:
1. Cardistry gets them instantly interested!
There's something about cardistry that immediately inspires. Like few other hobbies or art-forms, it has the ability to energize and generate instant enthusiasm and excitement. I can't tell you how often I've seen kids and teenagers watch some cardistry videos online, and very quickly get passionate about trying cardistry for themselves. Before you know it, a complete beginner that had previously never even heard of cardistry, is a new convert, spending hours with his playing cards. One of the great things about cardistry is that you will rarely need to twist kids arms to get them to try it, because they'll usually be keen to give it a go, simply after seeing some videos.
2. Cardistry gets them excited about a new hobby!
One of the challenges of being a parent is to keep coming up with interesting things for your children to do. Some kids naturally find things to do all the time, but others constantly need a helping hand to keep them busy, and get bored very easily. It's all to easy to use movies, TV, or the internet as a babysitter, but what about finding something constructive to do? That's where cardistry can really help. Very few teenagers have ever come across it before, so when they first see card flourishing in action, it quickly captures their enthusiasm and excitement. With a brand new deck in hand, it won't take much for them to get hooked, and before you know it they have a whole new hobby that they are passionate about and spending time with. Often they'll be so keen, they'll drag their friends into it too!
3. Cardistry gets them unplugged from their phones!
Most parents will readily admit that kids today get too much screen time, and don't spend enough time in the outdoors or doing things creatively. In today's era of technology, too many teenagers are glued to their phones, and seem wired permanently to their favourite social media platform and to the internet. Anything that helps them get away from their screens is a good thing, because it will assist them develop a healthier balance to life. Cardistry will do exactly that, and I've seen many parents thrilled that their children and teenagers were developing new interests outside of their phones and computers. Admittedly they will also spend time watching video tutorials online. But cardistry is especially about having a deck of cards in your hand, and doing a physical activity with those cards. Manual dexterity and skill is required, and it's refreshing to see kids spending hours practicing tossing around playing cards instead of being on their phones.
4. Cardistry gets them exploring their creative side!
There are no limits to what can be done in cardistry, because it has no fixed rules or boundaries. That's why we're seeing constant innovations, as creative individuals try new things that haven't been tried before. Untapping this element of creativity is just what many children need. Rather than being forced into learning a fixed system, cardistry gives kids the opportunity to explore all kinds of unfamiliar territory, including creating routines of their own. It's an art-form that encourages creativity and experimentation, and treading the path less travelled. As such it means that you're engaging in a creative activity where the new and unusual is seen as a good thing, and where there are ample opportunities to develop new skills and routines.
5. Cardistry can be enjoyed by anyone!
Unlike many other hobbies and activities, there's not only a low cost to enter the world of cardistry, but the bar is also very low in terms of the abilities required. You can begin with next to no knowledge of playing cards, and yet be having fun flicking and tossing cards very quickly. Granted, those who have experience with shuffling and handling cards, and who have a good sense of manual dexterity, will progress more quickly. But there's no barrier to entry, and you can be a genuine novice and have fun learning card flourishes. This draws many people to give cardistry a whirl, because it is quite simple for anyone to get started with it.
6. Cardistry can be enjoyed anywhere!
If you enjoy playing soccer, then aside from your backyard perhaps, you're really only going to be happy when you're chasing around a soccer ball along with 21 other people on a soccer field. Let's be honest, the amount of time you'll find yourself in that ideal setting won't be that often, perhaps once or twice a week at most. But with cardistry, there is no such limitation. You can be sitting on your bed, standing by the road waiting for a bus, or killing time at school, and these are equally ideal moments for doing cardistry. Aside perhaps from being outdoors on a windy or rainy day, or a sober moment like being at a funeral or in the middle of an exam, there's no bad time to be doing cardistry. As long as you have a deck of playing cards in your pocket, you are ready to go, no matter where you are.
7. Cardistry can be enjoyed independently!
What about if you don't have friends or family to do something with? Many activities require the active involvement of other people. And without another willing party, you're stuck, because there's nobody to catch the football you kick, or to hit the baseball you're throwing. Cardistry has the real advantage that it doesn't need other people. While you certainly can perform it for others, it can be enjoyed for the sheer pleasure of learning and performing the moves on your own. It's very much a solitaire activity, and this frees it of many of the restrictions that make it difficult at times to get into other hobbies or activities. Some people have even found cardistry a great way to keep their hands busy instead of doing less constructive things like biting their nails or smoking.
8. Cardistry can be enjoyed cheaply!
Cardistry is very inexpensive to get into, and you don't have to break the bank to enjoy it. I know that some people reading this will look at their growing collection of cardistry decks, and say: "You've got to be kidding, right?" Sure, you can spend money on expensive cardistry decks, but you certainly don't have to. In fact, to enjoy cardistry what's of foremost importance is a deck that handles well. A standard Bicycle rider-back deck or similar branded deck from USPCC like Tally Ho is generally very inexpensive and easily available. Compare that for a moment with other hobbies and activities, like horse riding, ice hockey, or piano lessons. All of those tend to involve specialized equipment, and the costs will quickly become very expensive. In contrast, you can get a lot of mileage out of a few decks of playing cards, and that's really the only expense there is. All the learning happens via online videos and tutorials, the majority of which are free. In the final analysis, cardistry is a very cheap hobby, compared to most others.
9. Cardistry is as fun to watch as it is to do!
The greatest thrill in cardistry is mastering a move and doing it yourself. But it's also a real thrill to watch other cardists at the top of their game. Not only will you get ideas of flourishes to try yourself, but it can be tremendously exciting to watch experts in cardistry who have put together an outstanding video, that leaves you completely gob-smacked as to how they could possibly accomplish what you're seeing. When seeing other cardists in action performing difficult maneuvers, you are well aware of the significant time they've invested to achieve what you're seeing. Some of the videos of the best cardists in the world doing their thing are just amazing to watch, and kids won't quickly grow tired of it. What other activity lets you produce beauty out of small rectangular pieces of paper?
10. Cardistry is flexible and varied!
One of the wonderful things about cardistry is that it doesn't have any fixed rules. There is no right or wrong way to go about learning it, and you can simply learn whatever you want to. If there are certain moves that you don't enjoy, then there's no need to learn them. Admittedly, there are certain foundational skills that can become important to master in order to do more complicated flourishes. But for the most part, there's a lot of different directions that you can go in, and it's totally up to you which way you want to go. This free-thinking and free-flowing approach is ideal for children, because they can learn at their own pace, and just go along the path that interests them, rather than being constrained or forced into a particular direction which might not appeal to them.
11. Cardistry helps them become good at something!
There's no doubt that once you start with cardistry, you can become genuinely good at it. It's definitely possible to learn new techniques and moves, and progress from simple card flourishes to more advanced ones. Once you've learned a particular card flourish, it tends to stick with you, and you won't quickly lose the ability to do it. Some moves are knacky, and require persistence and practice to master. But once you've mastered something like the faro shuffle and cascade, you won't easily forget how to perform it. Instead, you'll build on the moves you already know, adding new flourishes to your repertoire, and developing techniques that rely on more basic moves as prerequisites. This makes it a rewarding hobby that teenagers can become genuinely skilled at, the more time they spend with it. They will quickly learn to impress people with simple flourishes when they start out, but over time they will be able to perform some truly eye-popping moves that will amaze.
12. Cardistry helps them develop other life-skills!
I can already hear some people saying: "You've got to be kidding, right? Do you really believe that cardistry helps develop life-skills?" Absolutely! This may come as a surprise to some, but I believe it's true. Granted, this may not be the biggest outcome from a hobby in card flourishing, but it certainly is one outcome. Because to become successful at cardistry, you need to practice - and practice some more. When learning moves from video tutorials, you have to process what you're being taught, follow instructions, and remember the moves that are shown, in the right order. And then you have to practice some more. All this requires real self-discipline and commitment, and those are important character traits and life-skills that all children need to develop! Seeing yourself progress is very rewarding, and will teach kids the value of applying yourself to something, and what you can achieve in this way.
13. Cardistry is a trendy art-form!
Kids love things that are trendy and "current". There's no doubt that cardistry meets that requirement. Even though card flourishing has a long history as something closely related to card magic, its emergence as a separate art-form with the sheer popularity it enjoys today is only a recent phenomenon. One only has to consider the rapid growth of online cardistry communities and online forums, which are increasing in size and numbers all the time, and the increasing presence of cardistry videos on social media. The very first international Cardistry Convention only date back a few years, and yet it's quickly become an annual event, with increased participation every year. There are many factors that account for this, among them the ability to share ideas quickly and easily via online videos and communities, another being the advent of crowd-funding which has helped fuel a growing custom playing card market where cardistry decks play a big role. But one thing is for sure: cardistry is an exciting new kid on the block, and is definitely the cool kid that everyone wants as their friend right now, and that's not likely to change any time soon.
14. Cardistry is an evolving art-form!
Because cardistry is a quickly growing field, we are constantly seeing new ideas being explored, and frequent innovations, as cardists stretch beyond the boundaries of what has been done previously. This makes it a very exciting hobby to be part of, because there are regular new developments. Part of this includes the commercial side of new cardistry decks, but let's just ignore that for a moment. More importantly, we are seeing people building on each other's ideas, and coming up with new things all the time. Children and teenagers love this, because there are constantly new things to learn and discover. There's no single website where you can go, to learn there is to know about cardistry, and now you know it all. Instead, there's new things coming out all the time, and this constant sense of evolution and innovation gives it a feel of freshness and excitement that helps keep the passion for it alive.
15. Cardistry is a unique art-form!
Even though cardistry is a growing art-form, it is still not something that is so main-stream, that everyone has seen it or given it a shot. When a teenager is good at cardistry, they will immediately attract attention and interest. Most people watching them do some simple card flourishes have never seen anything remotely like this before. A simple card spring can often generate more oohs and aahs than some magic tricks. So it's something that is attention-getting and novel. For kids, it's important to have something about themselves that helps them stand out from others, and makes them feel unique and respected. Cardistry can help them do that. It produces something that is visually beautiful, and this accounts for much of its appeal.
16. Cardistry is a positive art-form!
The online communities for some hobbies and interests are very toxic, full of trolls and constant arguments, and parents would rightly be concerned about their kids being immersed in a poisonous environment like that. My experience with the cardistry community has been very different. These are often filled with teenagers and young people who are super enthusiastic about their art, and just love to share videos of their performances with others, and to encourage fellow enthusiasts and even beginners in what they are doing. They also tend to be very respectful of the fact that there is no "one path" to doing cardistry, so it's totally fine to enjoy one type of cardistry and not another, and be at different levels. And if you're stuck learning a move, someone will usually be happy to jump in and give you tips to help you progress. They've likely walked this road themselves and had someone help them, and they know the feeling of satisfaction that comes with mastering a move, and want others to enjoy that too. You are certain to make many great friends with others around the world who share your passion.
17. Cardistry makes the most of their custom decks!
Today's market of custom playing cards has grown enormously over the last decade, largely with the help of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. But cardistry has become an explosive catalyst that has really caused the market to boom, because many decks are being designed especially for card flourishing. A custom deck can already be something special to use for playing card games, or for card magic, but such decks still have to be somewhat familiar and functional. But cardistry focuses on aesthetics rather than function, and this means that a whole new set of criteria becomes important for designing playing cards. Many decks have been made purely to show-off the beautiful visuals that can be created with fans, spreads, twirls, cuts, and other cardistry moves. Fiddling with my playing cards has always been enjoyable, but that's taken to a whole new level with card flourishing. It's hard to think of a better way to enjoy the gorgeous artwork and visuals of a lovely custom deck, especially if its design has been optimized for cardistry. There are so many stunning decks appearing on the market today, that this injects a whole new element of excitement to the cardistry hobby.
18. Cardistry makes the most of their technology!
This may seem to contradict another point on this list, namely that cardistry can help kids get unplugged from their mobile devices and get busy doing something active in the real world. That's still true. But the fact is that kids will still use technology, and we can't expect them to throw away their phones and computers completely. As far as that goes, cardistry is a hobby that makes very good use of all the technology that they are already using and will keep using. There is a lot of garbage on the internet and on social media, but in comparison cardistry videos and online forums are refreshingly positive for the most part. This community thrives on making good use of the possibilities afforded by sharing videos and ideas online, maximizing the positive potential of sharing good things with fellow enthusiasts.
19. Cardistry makes the most of their free time!
Young people have a lot of free time which they won't have later in life. When you're an adult, life will usually keep you busy with the responsibilities of looking after a family and a home, alongside completing your daily job at the office or factory. Quite frankly, once you reach this stage of life, you won't usually have a whole lot of free time. Starting a new hobby like cardistry isn't impossible by any means, but the ideal time to begin is when you're young. Kids and teenagers often have a ton of free time, something that will often be at a premium later on in life. So what better thing to do with all that free time that something positive, like cardistry? Some flourishes can require a lot of practice in order to master, and that makes the time of youth the perfect time to learn them, because often you have all the time in the world, and just don't know what to do with it. Kids won't have quite that amount of free time later in life, so why not put it to good use when you can - when you're older and learning cardistry, you'll just wish that you had the amount of time that most children have for it!
20. Cardistry is enormously enjoyable!
Like card magic, card flourishing is genuinely fun, and can be enjoyed as a rewarding activity for its own sake. It's very rewarding to finally master a new flourish that you've been working on, and especially if it is visually appealing, it will remain satisfying to do, even if you've done it hundreds and hundreds of times before. There's simply something about doing cardistry that captures the imagination. Almost every child that I've taught some elementary cardistry moves has found it exciting and entertaining, and found it captivating and thrilling. As a hobby, it quickly becomes self-motivating for them. You don't have to force them to practice, like you might need to do with a youngster learning how to play the violin or piano. Because it's something that most kids love, they'll find it incredibly enjoyable, and just want to experience the fun of playing with their cards in this way, because it's so much fun. To me, that says it all - case closed!

After The Forclosures, What's Left?
San Diego City-County Reinvestment Task Force wants to help prevent a possible neighborhood blight by having a new plan.San Diego's Councilman Tony Young co-chair of the task force has presented the City Council and Board of Supervisors of San Diego with some imposing and sweeping new recommendations to prevent a possible blight in some of the poorer communities.Some of the communities that make up San Diego have been hit hard by the number of recent foreclosures. As part of the task force recommendations it is being proposed to create a Regional Land Bank funded a by private investors to be able to purchase a large number of these foreclosed properties. The properties, once purchased could then be turned around to create affordable rentals and real buying opportunities.
"The proliferation of Subprime loans and increased foreclosed properties represents a threat to the quality of life in our neighborhoods", said Tony, " this is a critical issue for our communities".
To assist nonprofits to help create workout programs with the major lenders to to help prevent more foreclosures. When the rates next reset.
Develop city and county ordinance to encourage the owners of foreclosed properties to maintain them to better and higher standards.
To encourage the legislature to increase the lending capacity for FHA loans.
To provide increased funding for nonprofits to be able to provide counseling for families facing foreclosures. It is believed that these Non-Profits might also help to prevent it some of the foreclosures.
The foreclosures attributed to the Subprime crisis has had a heavy impact on the homeowners who have already lost their homes. The increase of abandoned and neglected properties are beginning to blight these affected areas. The task forces goal would be to seize the opportunities now and try to turn these areas around and to further help sustain the longer term value in these areas.

answers (of whatever quality) to bad questions should be discouraged, because it encourages bad questions.
people getting rep for answers to bad questions is annoying, because holding back (because of the previous discouragement) leads to annoyance at rep earned for intemperance.
moderators using delete is great for spam and incoherence, but is inappropriate for informing people of slighty annoying practice.
The content (in the specific question) is debatable: - The original question isn't obviously closeable as off-topic (it is not a well-described question, so it could be closeable for that reason, or it may be explicitly proscribed in the FAQ (I think this case fits "is the following sentence correct" questions are stated as off-topic). And seemingly poor questions are resurrectable by answers that pull out something interesting. - the answers don't seem to be, on their own, closeable or deletable (their quality is not terrible, maybe not the best but not terrible).
My side of the debate is that answers (that are not deletable for other reasons) to bad questions should remain; if the question is bad enough to be deleted then that's when the answers should go away, too.
And I think it is an inappropriate use of moderator's powers to do this kind of deletion. Close, close close, all the crap questions, please go wild. But don't -delete- the answers, as the question may turn out to be re-openable.
So, the question for discussion is, should -answers- to bad questions be deleted if the question is closed for poor quality/off-topic?
Mitch brings up a lot of good points.
I just a did some analysis on the month of April. Approximately 30% of our questions are being closed (46 of 151). Of those, rougly one-third are being closed by consensus (5 votes), while the remaining two-thirds are being closed by a moderator.
I'm not sure why the answers to the referenced question were deleted, but I do know this: it is a little frustrating when you expend time and effort crafting an answer that you believe is both helpful and constructive, only to have someone arbitrarily decide it can be deleted, or that the question can be closed before you've finished typing a response.
I think it is an inappropriate use of moderator's powers to do this kind of deletion. Close, close close, all the crap questions, please go wild. But don't -delete- the answers, as the question may turn out to be re-openable.
While I agree that "crap" questions should be deleted, I think it's best for the community to collectively decide which questions are crap, and which may have some redeeming value.
I would like to see moderators cast more close votes, and close fewer questions using moderator privileges. That said, I'm not sure – maybe the system isn't designed that way? (If that's the case, I think a redesign would be in order).
I didn't vote to close, and I've just now voted to re-open. But I'd like to think either the question will be edited, or it can be flagged as a duplicate of What's the shortest sentence? (I'll vote for that unless it's altered).
I don't really expect it, but if it should turn out the question can be edited & salvaged, and if it seems that those earlier answers justify it, they can always be undeleted. I don't know what rep is needed to see, and vote to undelete, but I suppose plenty of us can do that.
I don't feel very strongly that those answers should have been deleted (I wouldn't have been frothing at the mouth if they hadn't), but on balance I think it's better they were. Not least because as OP himself says, high rep users should 'know better' than to answer questions that should be closed. Anyway, ELU is a "kinda" democracy, so you have to take your shots if people vote against you. Even if "people" turn out to be just one mod (but I admit I'm behind RegDwight in spirit!).

dds to come out on top - and what theyll have to do to achieve that Ath and Nas discuss the keys to success for E
ANAHEIM, Calif. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-andre-caldwell-navy-blue-jersey/ . -- Daniel Wright didnt think getting his first major league win would take quite as long as it did, but it was worth the wait.Jefry Marte homered and scored twice and Wright earned his first victory to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 7-1 on Friday night.In Wrights ninth big league appearance and his seventh start, he limited the Astros to one run and six hits while striking out five.It took two teams and a few stints in the minor leagues this season before Wright was finally able to earn a win and breathe a sigh of relief.I dont think its really sunk in yet, Wright said. Its been a long time coming, its been since May since Ive been starting in the bigs. Its a weight off my shoulders and Ill go from here into the offseason.Wright (1-5), who was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on Sept. 4, became the 24th pitcher to get a win for the Angels this season, setting an American League record. The Texas Rangers previously held the mark with 23 winning pitchers in 2014.Daniel has been on the verge of doing what he did tonight, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He had good fastball command, definitely brought his secondary pitches into the game and I thought he was a little more aggressive tonight than when he pitched in Houston against these guys (last weekend).Mike Trout set a club record with his 114th walk of the season, breaking Tony Phillips previous Angels record set in 1995. Trout stole two bases, bringing his season total to 29.The Angels broke the game open with a four-run second inning. Brad Peacock (0-1) loaded the bases with no outs for Kaleb Cowart, who doubled to empty them. Kowart took third on the throw, allowing him to score while Ji-Man Choi was caught in a rundown two batters later.Marte led off the third inning with his 14th home run. The Angels scored twice in the fifth inning when Andrelton Simmons two-run single chased Peacock.I dont think he executed quite as well, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. His fastball command was a little off, his breaking ball was a little loose. They won a couple critical at-bats.

He walked four and struck out five.Unfortunately, it caps a September for him where he was pretty good where we needed him, Hinch said. Its going to leave a bad taste in his mouth at the end of the year.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: 3B Alex Bregman has been shut down for the remaining three games. Astros manager A.J. Hinch said the team decided not to risk further irritation of his recent hamstring injury.Angels: RHP Jered Weaver is questionable for his Sunday start, which could be his final with the Angels. Weaver left his last start with tightness in his back and Jhoulys Chacin will likely start in his place.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Collin McHugh will try to remain undefeated in the month of September when he starts the second game of the series. McHugh is 3-0 this month but his September win streak dates to 2014, as hes gone 11-0 over the last three seasons, the longest active streak of any its kind for any major league pitcher. In three starts against Los Angeles this season, McHugh is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs will make his first start since Sept. 9, when he was removed from the rotation with a mild flexor pronator strain in his pitching arm. Skaggs will face the Astros for the first time since June 5, 2014.

Q: Как осуществить проверку почищенных кук (cookie)? Я делаю скрипт задания для почтовика и первым из условий - почистите куки (cookie), - встал вопрос, а как проверить, что в браузере удалена вся история и почищены куки посещенных страниц?
Скрипт желательно на Jscript, но на худой конец можно и PHP. Вопрос в следующем: в каком направлении я должен двигаться? Хотелось бы своим умом дойти до решения, но и от готовой инструкции не откажусь.
с уважением Le Grol.
A: Браузер дает доступ только к кукам того же сайта с которого был сделан запрос. Соотвественно можно очистить только свои куки.
На счет истории - сомневаюсь что с ней можно производить подобные манипуляции на уровне скрипта. История - это фича конкретного браузера, по идее ее может не быть в принципе.
A: Вам всё верно написал @nMike. Та страница может только проверить куки конкретно на своём домене, а не в браузере в целом, так как такое действие запрещено политикой безопасности всех браузеров. И явно понятно, что скрипт при первом заходе вешает какие-то куки к своему домену, и проверяет их отсутствие. На javascript самый короткий способ почистить куки - document.cookie = ""
A: Не очень понятна постановка вопроса. Для своего домена это сделать легко.
// сброс cookie установленную для всего наддомена для корневой директории

PHP: if ( isset($_COOKIE['name']) ) setcookie('name', '', time()-3600, '/', '.domain.com');

JS: var expires = new Date(new Date().getTime() - 3600000).toGMTString();
document.cookie = name + "=" + "; expires=" + expires + "; path=/; domain=domain.com";

jQuery: $.cookie('name', '', {path: '/', expires: }); // плагин jQuery.cookies

Our first Booster Meeting for this year will be Monday September 11th starting at 6pm in the Clark band room. All parents of orchestra, color guard, percussion, and band students are welcome and encouraged to get involved.
As a reminder from 4-5pm on that same day students will be able to check out a uniform if they have not done so already.


This talk will cover forced degradation studies that are routinely carried out in drug discovery at AstraZeneca, Alderley Park, to assess chemical reactivity and stability risks and inform molecular design.
The studies involve a range of simple, flexible in-vitro tests that can provide information to answer variety of questions. Kinetic rate profiles and product identification facilitate mechanistic interpretation that assists chemistry design to reduce/avoid stability or reactivity issues. Results aid understanding of compound behaviour under physiological conditions; assist interpretation of biological test results; guide compound handling/storage and inform formulation development. Decomposition kinetics are monitored in solution under a broad range of conditions, predominantly under forced conditions to provide a rapid assessment of compound properties that can then be fed back into compound design within the project. Typical studies include hydrolysis (elevated temperature at various pHs), photolysis and chemical reactivity towards biological nucleophiles such as thiols. 1,2 A simple system to assess susceptibility to oxidation has recently been developed. Examples demonstrating the impact of stability/reactivity data in discovery projects will be presented.

Video of Ricky Gervais on The Office
January 28, 2011 | by	shep | 2
Here's video of Ricky Gervais appearing on The Office as David Brent (the original Michael Scott on the British version of The Office).
One thing that was interesting was that, with a wink and a nudge, they brought up the fact that Steve Carell is leaving. Brent asked if there was any openings at Dunder Mifflin and Scott said no. Brent then asked Scott to keep him posted if there are any openings.
While a good behind the scenes joke, I don't think this means Gervais will join the cast as the new branch manager of Dunder Mifflin. It's fun to speculate, but there's no way it will happen.

I'm not kidding when I say that David Brent is one of the greatest television characters ever created. Ricky Gervais plays him so beautifully. He (Brent) is a complete ass and so delightfully smarmy that you just love watching him embarrass himself while he's completely clueless.
That said, I don't think he would be a good fit on the US version, but that's more because I don't think America would dig the whole British version concept as much. The humor was more subtle and very British (read that as dry).
So, like you, I don't see him coming, but it's a neat cameo. Any chance of a Tim cameo? Probably not.
shep January 28, 2011 at 10:10 am · Edit
I agree 100% with you. Over the years, Michael Scott has gotten more outlandish (as all characters do as a series progresses). It would be hard to tone down the show in order to replace him a more dry David Brent. He's less absurdest and probably wouldn't fit as well with the rest of the cast this late in the show. Not to mention, American audiences just wouldn't take to him.
But then again, I hate (most) British comedy and loved the UK The Office.

It's often what you say when you need to blow off some steam or change your perspective. It turns out spending time outside can do more than just fill your lungs with fresh air. More and more research shows that spending time in nature is good for your physical and mental health.
The healing power of the forest is something the Japanese have known about since the 1980s where they practice shinrin-yoku or forest bathing. Now, the idea of nature therapy is starting to take off in the United States and Canada. Indeed, doctors and other healthcare providers are encouraging patients to spend time in parks and now parks prescription programs, like the National ParkRX Initiative, are spreading nationwide.
But you don't need a prescription to take advantage of the nature cure. Take Rita, for example. When stress builds at work, the 47-year-old nonprofit executive from Rochester, Michigan knows she needs to get outside. So, she meanders in her local park, stopping on bridges overlooking the creek, visiting her favorite trees, and listening to birds.
Whether it's 10 minutes or an hour, being in nature helps Rita feel more grounded and connected to the world around her, which helps her manage her anxiety symptoms. "When I'm outside, just walking around, I feel better," she says.
Similarly, Eric, 37, makes the outdoors an important part of his life. While he grew up as a boy scout, he started to spend less time outside as an adult. "I would go to work and go home. I was miserable," he recalls.
A walk along the beach or a hike in the forest is a full body experience. Not only do you move through the natural environment, your eyes take in varied textures and patterns of spider webs and tree bark, your ears tune into waves crashing or birds chirping, and you smell the earthy dirt. Your body subtly shifts too. Your heart rate slows, your breath deepens, and your shoulders relax.
Smith and other experts argue that nature time is particularly necessary these days. Not only are more people living in urban environments than ever before, we also spend more time on devices. According to the Nielson Company audience report, adults in the United States spent more than 11 hours in front of screens during the first quarter of 2017.
Yet, nature can help buffer us against these effects.
Just living near parks, forests or water can be good for you. Researchers from Harvard found a 12 percent drop in mortality among women living closer to green space compared to those living farther away. And a 2015 Canadian study showed that Toronto residents living on streets with more trees experienced better health outcomes. For example, having 10 more trees on a city block improved health perception equivalent to a $10,000 increase in annual household income and to being seven years younger.
While physical activity can reduce stress and improve overall health, there's something about being outside that amplifies these benefits.
Even short-term visits to natural areas can reduce stress. Researchers in Japan studied 420 people at 35 different forests in Japan. They found that 15 minutes in the natural environment resulted in lower cortisol levels (the body's stress hormone), pulse rate, blood pressure, and sympathetic nervous system activity (the body's fight-or-flight system). At the same time, the body's rest and digest system or the parasympathetic nervous system increased activity by 55 percent, indicating a more relaxed state.
Similar results have been found in the United States. Stanford University researchers randomly assigned participants to walk in a grassy and wooded area or along a busy street. After the nature walk, people experienced less anxiety and rumination (or negative overthinking, which has been correlated with depression), and improved working memory. They also felt happier compared to urban walkers.
That's the case for Karen. "I truly feel both my physical and mental health are nurtured by nature," says the 54-year-old employee benefits consultant and writer from Claremont, Ontario. "As soon as I step foot on the trail, I breathe and slow down. My brain relaxes and I get tons of ideas for my clients or my writing," she says. Karen sleeps better too.
Heather loves the outdoors for more than just the physical benefits; she uses nature as a mental reboot too.
Heather has a high level of nature relatedness. That's what Lisa Nisbet, professor of psychology at Trent University, calls an individual's level of connection to the natural world and is part of what motivates people to spend time outside. Her research has found that a strong sense of nature relatedness is a significant predictor of happiness.
More recently, ecotherapy has begun to gain popularity. "Ecotherapy isn't based on a medical model. It came from the psychotherapy community and is a broad term that incorporates different modalities that promote healing," explains Smith, such as wilderness, animal-assisted and horticulture therapy. But the main premise is spending time in nature in a mindful way.
Ben Page, founder of Shinrin Yoku LA and trainer at the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy Guides & Programs, regularly takes people on forest therapy walks as a way to reconnect them to the land by slowing down and awakening the senses.
"Getting people to stand still for 10 minutes in the forest radically alters their perspective," he says, adding that the forest is filled with impermanence and imperfection, and it is these qualities that give it its beauty. Page explains that when we slow down, we begin to see ourselves as connected to, not separate from, nature and to its beauty of change and imperfection.
"Set against a culture that worships perfection in all things, connecting to the imperfect beauty of nature allows us to lovingly accept ourselves as we are, instead of obsessively trying to perfect ourselves," he adds.
While any amount of time in nature, even a few minutes, is good for you, more is better. "There are a number of benefits from looking at a view outside your window, playing a bird song on tape or having potted plants, but you seem to get more benefits the more real nature immersion you get," says Williams.
Yet, there's still more that scientists want to know about the relationship between nature, health, and wellness, such as which natural elements are most powerful, which populations benefit the most, and how long the effect lasts. "We still have a long way to go before we can convince the medical and insurance establishment that nature should be medicalized," says Williams.
And while it can support your wellness plan, "it's not a substitute for proper medical care or medication," cautions Smith.
The idea of spending time in nature isn't revolutionary but it can feel like child's play. Yet, it's an easy, low-cost (and fun!) way to boost your mood and health.
Take it with you: Before Rita gets into her car, she touches her lavender plants and breaks off a piece to keep in her pocket. Other times, if she finds a leaf or twig during her daily walk, she brings it back to her office. "It's a simple way to keep me in touch with the rest of the world during the day," she says.
Look out your window: If you're stuck in an office all day (or have seasonal allergies), don't fret. Studies have found that viewing trees through a window may increase job satisfaction and decrease stress. Researchers have also found that viewing images of nature scenes may help people recover from stress or stressful events.
Listen: Download some birdsongs and press play. Researchers have found that sounds of nature may improve how your body recovers from stress. Better still, install a bird feeder outside your window.
#1) Find a Group: If you're intimidated by the outdoors, connect with a local outdoor group. Check out your local parks department, REI or outdoor retail stores, Meetups, or organizations like Latino Outdoors and Outdoor Afro. If you're interested in forest therapy, you can find a certified guide in your area through the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy Guides & Programs.
#2) Don't overthink it: While you may think you need specialized gear and food to spend time outside, you don't. "You just need to step outside your front door, walk down the street and sit on a bench," says Denver resident Heather Balogh Rochfort.
#3) Leave your devices at home: In order to connect with nature and reap its benefits, leave your phone at home. "When you don't have a screen in your face constantly telling you what to do or giving you instant validation, you notice things more, like the colors of the leaves, more than you would normally," says Eric.
Gardening is a wonderful way to spend some time with nature. When I moved from my home with gardens to an apartment with only a small screened in porch I was a little disappointed. But, with time, I found that even this small space could be a bridge to nature with the plants and other things I have done with decorating this space. My cat, Chloe, loves it! She can watch the birds, squirrels and whatever goes by without the harm that actually might come to her if she was allowed to roam. And as far as the large gardens go, I am 64 years old with bipolar depression and, I have to admit, the gardens became more of a chore than a pleasure. I have the best of both worlds now!
I have trouble getting motivated, but just taking a walk every day helps me cope with my symptoms. Motivation is the key and sometimes I overthink the process. Because I think I have to look like I "have it together" to my neighbors, this makes it hard to get out. But once I do, I always feel better.
In May I spent three days in a cabin with family members. It's a haven for me and I found relief from my anxiety and physical health issues. It is truly a healing place.

Dr. Troy D. Robertson (b. 1978) is the Director of Choirs at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, where he conducts University Singers, Select Women's Ensemble, Texan Gentlemen, Chamber Choir, and Texan Troubadours. Tarleton choirs are renowned for excellence: under Dr. Robertson's direction, Tarleton's Chamber Choir recently performed in the Xi'an China International Choral Festival, New York's Carnegie Hall, and toured parts of Japan. Robertson is also the conductor of the Cross Timbers Civic Chorale, a community ensemble whose season includes collaboration with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. Performances under Dr. Robertson's baton have included G.F. Handel's Messiah, Johannes Brahms's Requiem, Francis Poulenc's Gloria, J.S. Bach's Magnificat and Christmas Oratorio, W.A. Mozart's Requiem, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, John Rutter's Gloria and Magnificat, Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria.
Dr. Robertson is an avid composer. This year will see publication of several new pieces: "The Beatitudes," for SATB a cappella chorus; "Sleeping Heart," for SSA chorus and piano; "Soul's Joy," for SATB chorus and piano; and a re-voicing of "Since You're Not Here," for SATB chorus, double bass, and drum set. Distributor J.W. Pepper chose Dr. Robertson's "In Meeting We Are Blessed," for SATB chorus and percussion, for its Editor's Choice series. The Florida State University Singers premiered "This Mystery," under the direction of Kevin Fenton, at the Dallas, Texas national convention of the American Choral Directors Association. Dr. Robertson's works are published with Music Spoke, Santa Barbara Music, Hinshaw Music, and Colla Voce Music.
An active clinician and adjudicator, Dr. Robertson has served in festivals across the United States. The 2018-2019 school year will take him to West Virginia for the West Virginia ACDA High School Honor Chorus, North Carolina to serve as the high school clinician for the Bonclarken Music Conference, and around the state of Texas. Dr. Robertson was named a fellow of the Carnegie Hall Choral Institute's Transient Glory Symposium, an honor that included study with Francisco Nuñez, conductor of the Young People's Chorus of New York City, Grant Gershon, conductor of the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and John Corigliano, Grammy, Pulitzer, and Academy Award-winning composer. As part of the symposium Dr. Robertson conducted the Young People's Chorus in performance in Carnegie Hall.
Before coming to Tarleton, Dr. Robertson was Assistant Professor of Music Education at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York. He served for several years as choral director at East Gaston High School in Mount Holly, North Carolina. While at East Gaston, his choruses performed in festivals in North Carolina, earning a reputation for excellence and consistent superior ratings. Under his direction the choruses traveled to Florida, Virginia, and New York's Carnegie Hall. Dr. Robertson taught alongside Trip McGill as co-conductor of the Gaston County Choral Ensemble. He also served as associate conductor of the Charlotte Oratorio Singers and Charlotte Chamber Singers under Scott Allen Jarrett, choral ensembles affiliated with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. In that capacity he assisted in the preparation of large- and small-scale choral-orchestral works for conductors Christof Perick and Alan Yamamoto.
Dr. Robertson holds degrees from Florida State University (Ph.D.), the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (M.M.), and Furman University (B.M.Ed.). He is a lifetime member of ACDA and an active member of NCCO, TMEA, and TCDA. He is married to Dr. Stephanie Robertson, a psychologist. The two of them make their home in Stephenville, Texas, with their son, Winton.

Throwing the game in Epsom
Ben Raue
I'm well on my way to preparing the maps of New Zealand's electorates for the guide to the September election – yesterday I finished half of the general electorates (32 out of 64, plus 7 Maori seats).
The most interesting electorate I've worked on is the seat of Epsom in Auckland's inner east.
Epsom is a very conservative, wealthy electorate, covering suburbs immediately to the east of the Auckland city centre. On the party vote, the National Party overwhelmingly wins the seat, with 64.5% of the party vote in 2011. Labour came second with 15.6%, followed by the Greens with 12%. But the seat produces a very different result in the vote for the local MP.
To win 'list seats' in the New Zealand Parliament, you need to either poll 5% of the party vote, or win at least one electorate seat. For parties polling below 5%, or in the difficult area where it is unclear whether they will pass the 5% threshold, winning an electorate seat can be critical to winning seats in Parliament.
The right-wing ACT party, who have been in a governing alliance with the National Party since the 2008 election, have used the seat of Epsom at every election since 2005 to ensure the party stays in Parliament, despite falling well short of 5% of the national party vote.
At the last three elections, ACT candidates have argued strongly for National voters in Epsom to cast their candidate vote for the ACT candidate, in order to allow the party to win seats in Parliament, and at the last two elections the Nationals have implicitly endorsed that strategy.
There is a very clear trend in election results in Epsom of National voters switching to vote for ACT on their candidate vote, but also of centre-left Labour and Greens voters flocking to the National candidate in an attempt to stop ACT from winning the seat.
The NZ Electoral Commission releases data breaking down the relationship between the party vote and the candidate vote, and allows you to see how many voters for each party then voted for each candidate, and vice versa. This data is released on a national level and by electorate. It allows you to see, for example, that 44% of those who gave a party vote to the Green Party then gave their candidate vote to Labour.
In Epsom, there is a very strong trend where 61% of National voters voted for the ACT candidate. In contrast, 56% of Green voters voted for the National candidate, as well as 37% of Labour voters.
You can also see this trend very clearly on the map. On the party vote, the National Party vote is higher in the more conservative east of the seat, further away from the Auckland city centre. Yet on the candidate vote, the National Party vote is higher in the west of the seat, where there are more party votes for Labour and Green.
The following maps illustrate this point. The final map shows the difference in the National vote between the party vote and candidate vote. In many booths in the east of the seat the National vote dropped by over 40%. Yet in the west of the seat, the National vote increased by 11% in one booth, and only dropped by less than 10% in other booths.
In 2011, this strategy of centre-left voters casting a tactical vote for National in order to block ACT failed, with John Banks winning the seat. But the party's prospects had fallen so low that his win didn't bring in a single list seat for the party. The party has changed leaders and Epsom candidates again in the last year, and we're yet to see whether ACT will be given another lifeline in Epsom in 2014.

The Killing of the Second Billy the Kid - Nov. 14, 1882
From History.com
Nashville Franklin "Buckskin" Leslie
"On this day, the gunslinger Franklin "Buckskin" Leslie shoots the Billy "The Kid" Claiborne dead in the streets of Tombstone, Arizona.
"The town of Tombstone is best known today as the site of the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral. In the 1880s, however, Tombstone was home to many gunmen who never achieved the enduring fame of Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday. Franklin "Buckskin" Leslie was one of the most notorious of these largely forgotten outlaws.
"There are few surviving details about Leslie's early life. At different times, he claimed to have been born in both Texas and Kentucky, to have studied medicine in Europe, and to have been an army scout in the war against the Apache Indians. No evidence has ever emerged to support or conclusively deny these claims.
"The first historical evidence of Leslie's life emerges in 1877, when he became a scout in Arizona. A few years later, Leslie was attracted to the moneymaking opportunities of the booming mining town of Tombstone, where he opened the Cosmopolitan Hotel in 1880. That same year he killed a man named Mike Killeen during a quarrel over Killeen's wife, and he married the woman shortly thereafter.
Billy "The Kid" Claiborne
"Leslie's reputation as a cold-blooded killer brought him trouble after his drinking companion and fellow gunman John Ringo was found dead in July 1882. Some Tombstone citizens, including a young friend of Ringo's named Billy "The Kid" Claiborne, were convinced that Leslie had murdered Ringo, though they could not prove it. Probably seeking vengeance and the notoriety that would come from shooting a famous gunslinger, Claiborne unwisely decided to publicly challenge Leslie, who shot him dead.
"The remainder of Leslie's life was equally violent and senseless. After divorcing Killeen in 1887, he took up with a Tombstone prostitute, whom he murdered several years later during a drunken rage. Even by the loose standards of frontier law in Tombstone, the murder of an unarmed woman was unacceptable, and Leslie served nearly 10 years in prison before he was paroled in 1896. After his release, he married again and worked a variety of odd jobs around the West. He reportedly made a small fortune in the gold fields of the Klondike region before he disappeared forever from the historical record."

I am not against indicting killer cops. I just know that indictments won't and can't end oppressive policing which is rooted in anti-blackness, social control and containment.
If so many black people are so concerned with black lives, then where is the outcry for the thousands of black people killed every year at the hands of fellow black people?
Where are the riots in the inner city over gang violence? Why aren't they burning their own neighborhoods down?
Brown did not deserve to die, but he should have known better. Chris Rock summarized it well in "How not to get your __ kicked by the police"
"Stop calling the cops." Check your privilege.
Just throwing this in here, but a week before this shooting happened, an unarmed white man was killed by a black cop. Weird how it happens on both ends, huh? This isn't a race war. We don't even have all the facts and you have your mind made up based on what? Don't make up your mind based on news reports. They say what they want to say in order to get views. Their jobs depend on your interest.
Yes there is proof that happened and no not all witnesses have agreed to that. Do some research before you assault someone else's opinion. The autopsy revealed that his hands were not up and that he was likely charging the officer. He assaulted the officer and sent him to the hospital. Do I think any of that is a reason to be killed? No. But I don't think it's okay to pretend he was innocent in this mess. There are bad cops and good cops just like there are bad people and good people. It's unfortunate that it happened, but the cop did what he was trained to do.
The autopsy reports, as far as we know about them, don't support the lying witnesses. NObody has the facts, unless you're sitting on the grand jury. You are the one who wants to throw out the "innocent until proven guilty" maxim that has served this country well for 250 years.
Yeah, but Ferguson needs a drop of justice, more than revenge. If the system can indite the killer, then maybe, maybe... o, let's not kid. It doesn't matter so. But he's undoubtedly got protection, and no one would care if a million black people died on his lawn, as long as they could pretend that the black folk were trying to kill Wilson - no matter what the black folk's intent would be on approaching him.
BWAHAHA, you show that you can't be taken seriously now.
Autopsy reports and all of the witnesses. Your turn. Where are your "facts" that he was defending himself? You hypocrite.
Audrey, what information is hearsay? Anything that has been said by EYEWITNESSES is NOT hearsay: it is ADMISSIBLE evidence based on FIRST HAND information. So it's not hearsay. Hearsay is when someone else gives an account of facts based on what SOMEONE else told them. THAT is hearsay. It is NOT hearsay when an eyewitness gives an accurate account on what they OBSERVED. Hearsay is any out of court assertion of facts. Simple as that.
The rule prohibiting hearsay (out of court statements offered as proof of that statement) from being admitted as evidence because of the inability of the other party to cross-examine the maker of the statement. There are a number of exceptions to the hearsay rule (including present-sense impression, excited utterances, declarations of present state of mind, dyng and the business records exeptions), as well as things defined not to be hearsay (admission of a party-opponent, and prior statements of a witness).
The two construction workers gesturing in the video that Brown had his hands up is considered present sense impression, and declarations of present state of mind because they were present and SAW (observed) what occurred when Wilson murdered Brown.
What a coward you are. You spout your tribble about Justice and fairness yet seek to lynch a man based on hear say. The real pity is that you could not care less about any facts. This event merely serves to fan the flames of your own racism. I would love to see what information exists in the court archives on you. pathetic!
Re: your the "silliness of a grand jury".
Quite a believer in short-circuiting the judicial system, aren't you? As well as the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" and "due process" as well.
Actually, I don't see the way Wilson conducted himself as being even remotely significant in comparison with the way an entire ethnic group seemed to present itself in the weeks that followed. Where is the justice due those who so openly defied the law in the aftermath of of Brown's death? Don't they deserve to be indicted to? Or at least have the possibility of their having committed crimes reviewed by a grand jury? Why were they let off so easily? Because of their skin color? Their ethnicity? Their political "correctness"?
I'm writing this to help you understand that there are quite a few of us out here because the law doesn't seem to apply to those it SHOULD be being applied to...and we're not thinking of Officer Wilson her.
Isn't it time for a truly level playing field...in which ALL parties are held responsible for THEIR conduct, and not given a "bye"?
I'm pretty sure i'm right about blacks having a mean IQ of 85. Proving this in the genome is now only a matter of time. liberalsim has an expiry date of perhaps 10 years.
I hope you know as well ask I do that an I dictment will not satisfy protestors. Officer Wilson is guilty in their eyes as well as yours.
You've contrived your own facts. You have to. It's the only way you even have a narrative.
He didn't oppress anybody. He stopped criminal activity. That's what cops do.
Don't be a criminal. White or black, you'll be fine in this great country of ours.
I am not sure remedial biology classes can fix your kind of stupid, but it is worth a try.
How was he defending himself when he's shooting at the UNARMED person 30 feet away.
Wilson, who resides at: 1423 DE PORRES in ST CHARLES, MO 63304.
On November 18, 2013, the Court allowed Ashley to have her former name, ASHLEY NICOLE BROWN.
This was an UNCONTESTED DIVORCE.
case number and style is: 1311-FC00754 - DARREN D WILSON V ASHLEY WILSON.
information will be posted when that investigation has been concluded.
Why lock a cop up that the evidence shows was defending himself? He was either hugging Brown when he shoot him OR Brown was on top of in his own patrol car. Get a grip on reality! Funny how we have Brown on tape committing a felony, but then when it comes to attacking a police officer everyone says....'he would never do a thing like that!' Wake up!
Oh that's why, geee Tony your so smart!......lame comment!
I really look forward to reading your low life comments i get a kick out of you Mericans let the WORLD see just how you are remember not only the US is watching ...Real talk Mr. Brown was not a felon just African American like so many others that have died at the hands of a white man but this to shall come to a end and it will not be good for you good ole boys but will be a good day in America. ISIS dont want to kill African Amercans THEY WANT YOU ....wonder why ?? ask your self that ..
This stupid webzine trashed nick wade's book. What a shame because his book contained almost everything required to understand what's happening here. Black people have a mean IQ of 85 as well as possessing alleles, at a higher rate than whites, that induce violence.
Having Darren Wilson indicted is a small step towards the right direction. If every cop who ends up oppressing people beyond the law were taken to court, most cops wouldn't be doing it. Though personally I don't care if it stops cops from being racist or not... the law should be consistent regardless of your skin color. People aren't angry simply because a white cop killed a black teen, it's because the white cop should obviously go to trial without any of this silliness of a grand jury.
People aren't upset because there are racists, they're upset because the law, the foundation that direct what is and isn't legal doesn't seem to apply to those who enforce it. Having Wilson go to court and let it play out fairly would help this community with this problem.
Also... there was an answer to how to deal with this. Put cameras on all the cops and make them more accountable. that link to http://alternativestopolicing.... seems to be a waste of time.. or an attempt to raise their traffic. The initial problem wasn't that someone called the police, but that the police stopped someone and in the end killed that person. It's like telling a class of third graders to draw pictures to help cure cancer.. it's something to do but it's just window dressing.
Michael Brown is on tape assaulting and robbing a store owner just minutes prior to attempting to kill a police officer. Had Michael Brown never committed robbery that day, never attempted to kill a police officer, we wouldn't be here. You want truth and justice then speak the truth, Brown was a felon!
It is America, where native-white Americans rules everywhere, and blacks and minority have only rights to live, not with dignity, human rights, constitution rights, fairness and justice.Unless, the ratio of rednecks in the government and police force is changed, many Wilsons will kill Many Browns, and nothing will happen. So far the police force has pocketed more than 8 million dollars in overtime-benefits and a million dollar in pay and the poor citizens have lost their customers, wages and so on. Till the fake drama of legal actions will be completed, many times more public fund will be pocketed by the police force, and many times more income will be lost by the public. OH! Yes, many lawyers, attorneys and media companies will also enjoy the bumper crop!!


Great Moments in Screen Kissing: "Love, Simon"
Love, Simon isn't the first film to be made about LGBTQ teens. There's Beautiful Thing, But I'm a Cheerleader, Camp, Edge of Seventeen (not the Hailee Steinfeld one), Get Real... the list goes on and on. It certainly won't be the last film to be made about LGBTQ teens, either. But it is the first one produced and distributed in wide release by a major Hollywood studio. Because of that, yes, there is an air of polished mediocrity and safety to the whole enterprise. And yet, it's hard to deny the film's effectiveness.
There is, essentially, one reason that I will forever be willing to forgive Love, Simon all its flaws, and that is its climactic kiss. After Simon (Nick Robinson) has been outed by a pissed-off classmate, and for a short period of time finds his life coming crashing down around him, he finally builds up the courage within himself to publicly ask his anonymous pen pal, known only as Blue (Keiynan Lonsdale, who came out as queer in 2017), to meet him at the town carnival, on the ferris wheel. It's a big ask, one that would require the extremely private Blue to reveal his identity to the whole school, if not the whole city. And in true romantic comedy fashion, Blue doesn't show up until the last minute, when Simon is on his very last round on the ferris wheel. At first, Simon is confused, not thinking that this is really Blue. But Blue explains, and admits that he wasn't sure he had it in him to do this. He even asks Simon if his identity is a disappointment. But it's not, not at all, and Simon siezes the moment and kisses Blue at the top of the ferris wheel.
And then, everyone watching cheers.
It's hard to know how much that means unless you're queer. We get queer love stories so rarely in film, and interracial ones even less, and all of that even less so in wide release. All those films about gay teens I mentioned at the top of this piece? I had to search for films like them when I was a teenager. In fact, I don't think I heard about a single one of them until I found other queer people in college who told me about them or showed them to me. They weren't readily accessible. They weren't playing in tons of theaters in suburbs across the country. So for today's teenagers to have this warm, open-hearted film in wide release in theaters and home video - a film that not only shows two queer teens struggling with life, and not only finding each other and kissing in the open, but getting applauded for it? That is a beautiful thing. That is a thing to be celebrated.
Because, as the film says, we all deserve a great love story, and we all deserve someone to share it with.
John Hughes didn't get a chance to make this movie when I was a teenager, so this may be my favorite movie of the year.
I ADORED this movie so much. It does have its flaws, but I loved (almost) every second of it. I admit I cheered a bit at the end too.
It was on HBO one night but it was already towards the end, but of course I had to keep it on so I can see this glorious scene. So swoony.
February 13, 2019 | Ryan T.
I love it BECAUSE of it's middle of the road banality, normalcy if you will. I consider it quite the gift to young gay people out there. Bring on some more!
I'm glad this movie exists, and I'm really glad so many teens saw it and embraced it, but I thought it was pretty bad.
I can't believe this didn't at least get some Golden Globe attention... it made me smile from ear to ear.
Jennifer Garner is totally underrated in both this and JUNO!
A very flawed but enjoyable and necessary film. Nick is so adorable. And Josh and Jennifer are wonderful as the folks. Highly recommended.
I don't even see that many flaws in this film. It's mainstream entertainment with a charming cast that ticked all kind of boxes in terms of delivering an effective movie. I loved watching it with a packed audience, great energy.
And yet, season 3 of the Norwegian series SKAM still has the best depiction of gay teen love (or teen love in general) I've seen in ANY medium. Isak and Even forever in our hearts.
I can't don't think to Love, Simon movie, since i watched it. It was strange for me. But i liked it.Now I follow Nick Robinson.
maybe i identification with Simon.
I wish the movie was less wasp-y and funnier, but have to agree that the kiss scene was perfect. It melt my cold cynical heart a bit.
And Nick Robinson was fantastic. Should have gotten a Globe nod for his beautiful, sensitive performance.
