Tarzana is one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Fernando Valley, situated on a gentle uphill slope leading towards the Santa Monica Mountains. Incorporated in 1962, the town was named after the iconic character Tarzan, who was the creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Before Tarzana became a vibrant residential community that it is today, it was Tarzana Ranch, an estate owned by Burroughs. This explains why the town was named after his most enduring masterpiece. In keeping with the town's history and literary heritage, the neighborhood adapted the lion as its town symbol.
Tarzana is a great place to live and raise a family and has a wide variety of options for schools, whether private or public. Tarzana's relaxed, almost country-like atmosphere is a rarity considering its close proximity to the downtown Los Angeles area, making it ideal for a lot of homebuyers.
Ventura Boulevard, one of the main routes leading to San Fernando Valley, cuts across Tarzana and is lined with an array of various businesses – retail shops, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping centers, supermarkets, theatres, to office buildings, you name it!
Located on Roseda Boulevard, you'll find Braemar Country Club, an exclusive country club, where members can enjoy world-class amenities that include a 27-hole championship golf course, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, and amazing fine dining and lounging options.
South of Tarzana, you'll find Topanga State Park. It has an extensive 36-mile trail network and is considered the largest state park that's within city limits in the country. It's a great accessible getaway where you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities from hiking, camping and wildlife viewing to biking and horseback riding.
South of Ventura, you'll find large, upscale residential properties with price tags that run in the millions and are considered as some of the most expensive in Los Angeles County. Luxury homes with large lots are not unusual so it's no surprise why Tarzana is where more than a few high-profile Hollywood celebrities and executives have chosen to live.

India test fires Supersonic Missile Assisted Torpedo

December 23, 2021 Saurav Chordia
Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully tested a long-range Supersonic Missile Assisted Torpedo (SMART) system developed indigenously last week, according to India Today.
This missile is being designed and developed by DRDO's lab for the Indian Navy, a defense official said. The entire flight path of the missile was successfully monitored and all intended parameters were achieved.
There are no systems comparable to SMART, since no torpedo is currently designed to be attached with a missile as booster phase to increase its range and make it a hybrid weaponry system. The weapon is a next-generation missile-based standoff torpedo delivery system.
The system has been designed to enhance anti-submarine warfare capability far beyond the conventional range of the torpedo, allowing the land forces to apply anti-submarine warfare as a greater role from land assisting the fleet and protecting the coast at expanded range.
During the testing phase, the missile is launched from a ground mobile launcher. It covered an extensive range of distances, according to DRDO. The system is also a canister-based missile system comprised of very intricate and state of the art technologies, including two-stage solid propulsion, electro-mechanical actuators and precision inertial navigation, which is a dual-stage attaching mechanism between torpedo and missile stages.
After it is commissioned, the missile will be used for creating a stronger bubble of defense against submarine and surface vessels of the enemy from the coast itself.

HOUSTON - The Houston Texans Foundation announced the creation of the Houston Texans Social Justice Fund to assist nonprofits in the greater Houston area which support youth and provide legal services for underprivileged citizens.
Three groups, 8 Million Stories, Restoring Justice and the YMCA of Greater Houston, were selected through a grant process for 2019 and will receive a total of $100,000 from the Houston Texans Foundation to support internal programs.
"Establishing a fund to bolster social justice programs in the City of Houston has been an ambition for the Texans organization for several years," said Houston Texans Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Cal McNair.
8 Million Stories serves youth ages 16 to 18 who have been formally incarcerated in juvenile detention. It provides a four-month program to assist youth to rebuild community relationships, access social services, continue their education and develop job skills to gain employment. The grant will assist the program in providing mentoring, tutoring, leadership development training, roundtable discussions around social justice issues, community service projects and career exploration in the sports industry for club participants.
Restoring Justice is a faith-based nonprofit that provides legal, social and spiritual services to those accused of crimes who do not have adequate defense and cannot afford to hire attorneys. Through Restoring Justice's efforts, criminal defense legal services are provided and individuals unjustly detained can be released and given expert representation. With Restoring Justice, clients are able to experience holistic wraparound care including access to ID restoration, mental care counseling, job readiness training, and social services. The grant will provide resources for legal and social services for their clients.
The YMCA of Greater Houston will use this grant to support Teen Leadership Programs including Y TEEN L.I.F.E. (Leadership, Inspiration, Fellowship and Education), YMCA Achievers and YMCA Leaders Clubs. Y TEEN L.I.F.E hosts leadership development opportunities for youth in Houston that encourage them to discover their purpose, develop a positive view of personal future and empowerment, as well as be agents of social change. The YMCA Achievers initiatives focus on career and college readiness, and the YMCA Leaders Clubs motivates youth to be excellent leaders.
As part of ongoing social justice efforts inspired by Texans players, the organization partnered with the Greater Houston Police Activities League (GHPAL) in March 2018 to support their relational policing initiatives including players learning more about their day-to-day jobs via ride alongs, hospital visits with officers through their Badges & Bears program, involvement with P.A.L. youth activities including a $10,000 grant to support sports programs and hosting a PLAY 60 event with Houston Texans rookies. The Texans also co-branded HPD and Texans giveaway items for officers to use for positive interactions with youth in the community.

Brit Awards 2018: Finally paying attention to British music
This year the Brit Awards seemed determined to recover from last year's series of epic disappointments
Roisin O'Connor
Music Correspondent

BRIT Awards 2018: Stormzy wins British Male Solo Artist
It started in fairly impressive fashion and continued that way for most of the night; Justin Timberlake bounding onto perform one of the more upbeat tracks from his latest album Man of the Woods (after an introduction from host Jack Whitehall); while melded into one of the album standouts: "Say Something" featuring a surprise appearance from the legendary country artist Chris Stapleton.
From there the Brit Awards seemed determined to recover from last year's series of epic disappointments; bringing out a stunning duet from 2017 Critics' Choice winner Rag'N'Bone Man and 2018 Critics' Choice pick Jorja Smith for "Skin", which host Whitehall followed with some actually-not-awful interactions with Liam Payne and Cheryl about their bedroom antics.
Awards seemed to go out to the most deserving, rather than the most commercially successful: Stormzy took home Best Male after being snubbed the year before, while Dua Lipa, one of the most intriguing and exciting pop stars to emerge in the past few years, scored Best Female. Foo Fighters seemed like a predictable bet for Best International Group but made for an entertaining acceptance speech, and proceeded a hypnotising performance of "New Rules" by Dua Lipa that brought on a huge troupe of female dancers.
Everyone politely ignored a bland rendition of "Supermarket Flowers" from Ed Sheeran, who apparently wanted to annoy everyone by refusing to play his biggest hit "Shape of You".
Kendrick Lamar scooped a deserved nod for Best International Male and gave a genuinely heartfelt speech: "I'd just like to thank y'all for holding me down for so long.
"I'm on tour, it's been some of the most amazing fans riding wit' me," he continued. "So forever, I really appreciate this moment, I love y'all, I will be back."

Dua Lipa scooped another award early on in the night for British Breakthrough Act, which felt like a slight snub to J Hus, but well-deserved nonetheless. Lorde took home the prize for International Female Solo Artist which felt like a thoughtful choice considering she missed out on any of the top prizes at this year's Grammy Awards.
Liam Gallagher filled in for Ariana Grande - who was set to pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena attack but was forced to pull out due to illness - and performed a simple, affecting version of the Oasis classic "Live Forever".
Winning Best British Band, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn had "one thing to say".

"It's a lovely place, it's part of a beautiful world, but... don't let it become isolated," he said, addressing the audience. "Don't let yourselves become cut off. Considering our size, we do incredible things in music, we've got a real spirit and a real soul. Don't let politics get in the way of all that shit."

"… I think that was about Brexit," Whitehall whispered as they exited the stage, before introducing Sam Smith for a far less perturbing performance than his "Pray" show at the Grammys. Singing "Too Good At Goodbyes" with a gorgeous gospel choir by his side he appeared to brush off failing to score any nominations at this year's ceremony, and looked rather wonderfully cheerful considering the fact.
A doddering Ronnie Wood handed over the "Global Success" prize to Ed Sheeran - like it was going to anyone else - before Kendrick Lamar blew everyone away: crouching tiger on a glass cage holding a blood-orange Lamborghini, quite simply unmatched.
No envy for anyone tasked with following Lamar with their own performance, but Rita Ora made a stellar effort with her performance of "Your Song" segued into "Anywhere", before Liam Payne joined her for their Fifty Shades Freed collaboration "For You".
This writer was just one person who left the ceremony feeling like they'd been tricked in 2017. A piece on why Skepta deserved to win Best British Male over the late David Bowie - published before the awards - was swiftly followed by another, on how increasingly irrelevant the Brit Awards had become. Despite nominations for Kano, Skepta, Stormzy, Michael Kiwanuka, NAO, Craig David and Anohni, too much talent went home empty-handed. "Brit awards 2017 was like watching some of the UK's most exciting artists finally being offered a seat at the table," we wrote, "only to be passed over when dinner was served."
The winners were still mainstream - Stormzy, Dua Lipa, Foo Fighters, Ed Sheeran, Lorde… but the male: female ratio was more evenly spread, as was the range of music recognised: grime, pop, rock, hip hop… Whitehall was, surprisingly, a fantastic host who didn't attempt to steal the spotlight for himself, but jumped in to lighten the mood when needed. And by awarding Stormzy the top prize, for British Album of the year, in 2018, it felt as though the organisers of the Brits paid a little more attention to British music. Closing the night with a blistering freestyle ahead of "Big For Your Boots" where he dropped disses to the likes of Theresa May over the Grenfell Tragedy, and the Daily Mail - this was a night music fans deserved.

Hello AlisoViejo
Alisoviejo California
The Hermosa Valley Greenbelt offers a cool and peaceful escape, just minutes from the beach. One mile long, the San Clemente Beach Trail is one of our best rail routes in the area. In a stretch of Orange County known for its oranges and strawberries, the Walnut Trail shares a wide corridor with an active railway line along the BNSF route.
Bounded by the San Clemente Valley Greenbelt and the BNSF rail line, this trail is one of the most scenic hiking trails in Orange County. On the banks of the Santa Ana River, a picturesque stretch of beach in Aliso Viejo, lies the first of its kind, the Redondo Beach Trail.
The short Upper Bay Trail leads from Upper Newport Bay Nature Park to the Santa Ana River and the San Clemente Valley Greenbelt. Wood Canyon Creek is part of the western city limits, and Aliso Creek forms the southernmost junction between Redondo Beach and the Newport Beach Greenways. Wood Canyon, a small creek in the middle of Orange County, connects to Aliso Creek, which forms the eastern border of Newport and Orange counties and the northern border of San Juan Capistrano and San Bernardino counties. Wood Canyon Creek forms part of the western city limits, Wood Creek, an open creek with a creek bed on the west side of Santa Barbara County, and Wood Creek and its tributaries form a 1.5 km long, 2 km wide coastal strip on the western edge of Los Angeles County.
The San Juan Creek Trail starts at the creek that flows into the Pacific, and the San Gabriel River Trail stretches from the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific. The oceanfront boardwalk begins on the west side of Aliso Beach, north of Redondo Beach and runs for nearly two miles along the Balboa Peninsula.
The scenic University Trail starts at the junction with the San Diego Creek Trail and runs east along University Drive in Irvine's south. The San Francisco Bay Trail, a 2.5-mile loop, is located near San Diego Creek and the Aliso Beach waterfront.
On July 1, 2001, Orange County became the 34th city, the only one in Orange County to be founded in 2000. It has a wide range of community services and facilities that provide education, health care, housing, recreation and other services to its residents and houses the Aliso Beach Community Center, a community center for children and young adults with special needs. As the first city in Irvine County and the second largest community in the county, it became the 32nd city in Orange County, the third largest county in California, on June 30, 2000, but became the 34th city on August 1, 2001. As the fourth largest city in Orange County and one of only three cities in Southern California to be incorporated since 2000 (the other two cities, Huntington Beach and San Bernardino), it has the largest public school system in Los Angeles County.
With a population of 47,823, it has a median income of $35,722 and an average annual household property tax rate of 4.5%. With a population of 46,914 and an annual median tax rate of 3.2%, the city of Aliso Beach, California, is one of the largest cities in the United States.
The census shows a population of 47,823, with a median income of $35,722 and an average annual household tax rate of 4.5%, of which 450 (0.9%) live in non-institutionalized groups per quarter, and 19.0% are institutionalized. The census showed that the city of Aliso Beach, California, had a total of 46,914 households with an annual median tax rate of 3.2% and 5.3%. The census shows a number of households living in poverty. 9% of them live as non-institutionalised groups / districts and the rest as "others" or "non-institutionalised."
Over the years, part of the ranch was sold, became a lagoon and has since been sold and part of Aliso Viejo State Park, the largest public park in the state of California. During the year, some parts of this ranch were sold, became lagoons and have been part of a ranch ever since. The apartments in Aliso Viejon are located in a low-income neighborhood, which promotes living and working opportunities.
The project has reserved 2,600 hectares for wilderness and 800 hectares for the creation of the Aliso Viejon National Wildlife Refuge, the largest public park in the state of California. This will add 800 hectares to a total wilderness area of 3,500 hectares. As part of these projects, 1,200 hectares of land within the park are dedicated as wilderness, and another 800 hectares have been staked out as open space.
Aliso Viejo Community Association (AVCA) was created to manage the local park and community open spaces. In the following years, it was run by the City of Los Angeles and the California Department of Parks, Recreation and Parks (CPRP). The AlISO Viejon National Wildlife Refuge, the largest public park in California, is managed by Alisos Viejos, a community of more than 1,000 residents and visitors to the park, in partnership with the State of California and the California Fish and Wildlife Department.

SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 'PHEASANTS' – 1954
The outstanding play of Jim Mitchell brought national recognition to the South Dakota School for the Deaf in 1954.
After averaging 27.2 points per game during his senior season, Mitchell was named United States Deaf Basketball Player of the Year.
SDSD was founded in 1880 to serve students who were deaf or hard of hearing. During the time Mitchell played at the Sioux Falls school the Pheasants competed in the strong Little Sioux Conference which had such members as Brandon, Harrisburg and Hartford.
Mitchell filled roles at both forward and center for Coach Eli Lundy. He was 6-foot-1 and as a junior averaged 25.7 points per game and showcased the ability that a season later would make him a Deaf School All-American.
As the Pheasants closed that 1953 season Mitchell scored 25 points in a win over Hills, Minn.; hit 30 in a victory over Hartford; and meshed 24 in a win over Brandon. In a game against Worthing the following season as a senior, Mitchell, who was from Sioux Falls, set a school record with 52 points. He was 17 of 24 from the field and made 18 of 19 free throws. He never scored fewer than 18 points in any game that year.
Mitchell totaled 1,109 points in his final three seasons at SDSD. He also was a valuable contributor for the Pheasants when he was a freshman. At the time of his career South Dakota did not select all-state teams.
SDSD went 6-1 overall and won the Little Sioux football championship with a 5-0 league record in 1953. Mitchell was a mainstay. A talented receiver, he scored nine touchdowns that season. Mitchell also participated in track. Later he became an avid bowler and has a high game of 290.
Mitchell was inducted into the Midwest Athletic Association of the Deaf Hall of Fame and the South Dakota Association of the Deaf Hall of Fame.
Mitchell is retired and he and his wife Janice live in Sioux Falls. Children are Jay and Jodie.

The speed of technology vs. the speed of democracy

The disinformed election
Election 2020 and the further degradation of local journalism
The speed of technological innovation moves at a very different pace from the speed of democracy, which can be frustrating. Technology changes fast, much like the hare. Democracy is more deliberate and methodical, resembling the tortoise. In the 2020 election the steady and slower pace of our democracy proved to be resilient. We should be thankful for that.
Historically, changes in technology caused great disruptions to our political system and democratic institutions. The shift from print to broadcast to digital communication reshaped the way that political elites and news organizations distribute political information and how Americans consume it. Since the 1960s the speed of computing power has grown at an exponential rate. Moore's Law , which refers to the doubling of the components on an integrated circuit approximately every two years, accounts for the remarkable growth of computing power and technological progress for over a half century. Since the mid 1990s the internet, and specifically social media platforms, have consistently increased the speed, volume, and interactivity of political information and communication. These technological innovations have redefined how we interact with political information, communicate about politics and participate in the political process. News cycles have shifted from 24 hours to increasingly shorter periods of time. Major stories can emerge and fade in a matter of hours. The entire journalism industry has been disrupted. Meanwhile, Americans have grown to expect technology to be increasingly fast, user friendly, convenient, and affordable. And though they might want our democratic process to move at a similar pace, the speed of elections is slower.
Despite advances in technology, voting in particular is still a very human process. Voters fill out ballots, which are collected in over one hundred thousand precincts across the United States, counted in hundreds of counties in all 50 states, and then reported to media outlets who add them up and make decisions about if and when to call the elections. The presidential election of 2020, arguably the most anticipated election of the past 50 years, was a great reminder that, however fast technology moves, democracy, if done thoughtfully and securely, cannot be rushed. Even though it is difficult we must be patient.
Many have clamored for the ability to vote online for years, to make our electoral process easier and faster. However, experts in vote security note that online voting would open up far more avenues for potential vote manipulation and interference in our electoral process and democratic institutions. It is simply not a secure method of voting, at least not yet. And decisions about how elections are conducted and what technologies can and should be used are far from streamlined.
Throughout the history of the United States, elections have been run by states, and each state has distinct rules around voter registration, early voting, and Election Day voting procedures. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, many states temporarily expanded absentee and mail-in voting in order to provide safe options for people to participate in the 2020 election. Americans responded by voting in massive numbers. Nearly 160 million people voted, more voters than any election in American history, and at a voting-eligible turnout rate over 66 percent, a rate not reached since William McKinley was elected president in 1900.
The voter turnout was remarkable not only because of the challenges posed by the pandemic, but by President Trump and his supporters, who attacked the legitimacy of the election and trust in democratic institutions. And yet, the elections themselves were successfully conducted with virtually no known issues of vote tampering, voter fraud, electoral interference, or disruption.
The 2020 election reminded us that conducting elections remains a very human process, even during a pandemic. Election officials and poll workers do the work of conducting our elections. Their work is shared with news organizations who interpret these results and eventually call races. Americans have become accustomed to the immediate and updated political information and the ease of creating and sharing content that comes with consistent technological innovation. And while the speed of technology continues at a rapid pace, democracy moves slower, at a pace that requires patience, even if the American electorate does not have much of it. Fair democratic elections simply take time. And that is a good thing.

Q: Difficulties formulating a square matrix algorithm in O(n) time I am looking back on some past papers, for my exam, and I have come across a square matrix algorithm question/analysis that I cannot for the life of me approach.
Basically, I am given a N by N matrix (a square matrix basically), and I need to implement a data structure that allows me to increase  the size of the matrix by 1 (row + 1, column + 1) in O(n) time.
After coercing my tutor, I realise the best data structure would be an array of arrays, so so essentially an something like this [ {1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9} ] this would denote my matrix, row 1, row 2, row 3
Now I need to be able to expand this matrix by 1 when the increase_size() method is called, I have already tried a naive solution, that is create a new empty array of size 4 sinze our previous matrix has 3 elements, append this array to our matrix_array, and then add a 0 to all the remaining arrays, however this takes O(n^2) time.
I believe there is something here that is related to the rows and columns, when we increase our matrix size we are essentially creating a new row and column, I believe this has something to do with the solution.
I have attached the question below.

A: Try an array of arrays:
M = [ A1, A2, ..., An ]

each array Ax contains the values a_{i,j} if max(i,j) == x.
I'll let you do the proofs.

A: naive solution works in O(n) actually:

*

*consider any matrix of size n * n implemented as array of arrays (where arrays are dynamic)

*to reach size n + 1 we first create a new array of size n and append to the end of our matrix, this takes O(n) time

*then for every row in our matrix we append a 0 to the end we have n + 1 rows and append 1 element each so this too takes O(n) time

*in total runtime is O(n)

$5.7 Million Recovery for Firm Client
Our client and three co-workers were working on the third floor of a construction project when suddenly, without warning, the floor collapsed burying the workers in concrete, steel, and construction debris. Our client was conscious, buried up to his neck partially impaled on a piece of rebar and could not move. Fearing for their own safety, rescue workers hesitated to help. Only after a civilian began digging the plaintiff out were the rescue workers shamed to assist.
Our client suffered numerous, severe injuries as a result of the event. He was hospitalized for approximately seven weeks before being discharged to a rehab facility where he remained for several more weeks and then discharged to homecare.
Prior to the accident, he had worked most of his adult life in the construction field. He was a proud member of the Laborer's Union. The nature and extent of his injuries meant that he could not return to work in construction.
Since we were retained shortly after the accident and before the accident scene had been altered or demolished, we were able to stop the planned demolition and begin a prompt investigation. We retained an engineering expert on our client's behalf. Our engineer fully inspected and photographed the site. We arranged a meeting with the OSHA investigator who had been on the scene the day of the accident. Both our engineer and OSHA confirmed a defect in the manufacture of one of the structural components of the building. As a result, we brought suit shortly thereafter against the general contractor, the fabricator, the structural subcontractor, and the inspection company.
In preparation for the trial of the case, we aggressively pursued information about the cause of the collapse as well as our client's present and future medical treatment. We worked closely with our client's treating physicians. We retained a life care expert to testify concerning future medical care. We retained an economist to project our client's lost income and future medical expenses.
After completion of the discovery phase of the suit, we presented a demand package to the defendants detailing and supporting our analysis of liability and damages. The defendants agreed to mediate the issues prior to trial. Following three full days of mediation, spanning several weeks, we were able to resolve the case in the amount of $5.7 million.
This matter was litigated by partners Bill Ahern and Bill Hunt.

Baltimore has a habit of being ahead of the curve. Going Cashless is Baltimore's new topic -- eliminate cash from your restaurant or cafe, and shift your business to credit cards only. Guests and customers will be facing this reality. The phrase for this action? Going Cashless. Here are pros and cons, plus examples of businesses who already have hopped on the bandwagon.
Handling cash is a dirty business. As owners, we already know this. Customers are aware of this! Asking a staff member to stay at the cash register, to ensure the germs from money handling are not transferred to the food you are selling, is standard procedure, yet that's a dedicated job. Labor costs are associated with that dedicated job.
Eliminating cash, eliminates frequent bank visits/deposits. Eliminating the need to run to the bank to get bills, and make change daily does have an impact on monthly bank charges. Certainly each owner has wished they could relieve their business of that nuisance charge.
There is no drawer counting. Staff no longer have the tedious end-of-day drawer counting. Gone are the managers worries over a $27.88 unrecorded paid out. Gone too, is the double checking that the right bills are back in the drawer, and "do we have enough quarters". While all those items are not a huge struggle, time is saved, and labor costs are saved.
Focus is now squarely on the customer. Instead of counting back the twenty, a staff member who recognizes a customer can proceed right on to a friendly interaction.
Cash is simply becoming the only part of our economy that is untraceable, and unrecorded, which also means it's largely illegal activity. Improving credit card use will also put more pressure on less than savory activity.
Wave of the future. In 2016, only 22% of all transactions in the US were conducted in cash.
Sales will go down with credit card only transaction. Actually the opposite phenomena happens. Yes, a few people only have cash and have to be turned away. This is a small percentage, and we are facing this cultural shift already.
"Cash carriers". We all know, that there are just those people who prefer to purchase their coffee in cash. What would you do? Let that over ride all the positive reasons to go cashless? Or come up with a plan that is inclusive for cash transactions--gift card, for example.
"It'll never work". Going cashless sounds like you just stepped into the Jetson's high-tech, space age world. We cannot possibly be in the future already. Fact is, we are probably going there now, so consider the pros and cons. If you decide to go cashless, like anything else in your business, set a date when you plan to go cashless, and find all the avenues to share that idea.
"No one else is going cashless". That may seem true in this very moment, but "Going Cashless" is gaining a following among owners. Tune in to the discussion. Here are some case studies that will help you understand why other owners have hopped on this bandwagon.
"Credit cards cost our businesses so much". This is a real problem. Fact is, we are receiving this charges whether we are cashless or not. The time and money of not having to run to the bank, and receive bank charges makes for an efficiency.
Latte Art training and practice is an investment the owner of Park Cafe values in the guest experience...now, staffs' craft can shift away making change from a $20 to a creating a lovely moment in a customers day!
The owner of Park Cafe and Coffee Bar chose to go cashless after facing repeated robberies. It was a recurring robbery, by the same individual. Eliminating risk of yet another robbery tipped the scales for David Hart, the cafes' owner. Was it the perfect solution to eliminate robberies? No. Police needed to catch the repeat offender. However, it did take a huge factor out of the equation.
Sweetgreens created this model, and is completely satisfied with their decision. They switched to credit card only as a 2017 policy. Their reasons? Staff security was their primary reasons. That is attractive to applicants, and shows that the owner values staff safety.
Chris Mim of the WSJ just wrote this story from a tech perspective.
DC area Sweetgreens has been a topic of interest since the experiment began one year ago, Jan 2016.
The concept of a Cashless Society is global fascination with India at the forefront of the movement.
The shift to cashless in the US is already growing.

The Front (1976)
4-Word Review: Covering for blacklisted writers.
In 1953 during the height of the Red Scare where many working in Hollywood were blacklisted if they had any connections with communist sympathizers writer Alfred Miller (Michael Murphy) suddenly finds himself out of work and unable sell any of his scripts. He asks his friend Howard (Woody Allen) who works as a cashier at a cafe to act as a 'front' for him by selling his scripts to producers and acting as if he wrote them instead of Alfred. In exchange Howard would be able to collect 10 % of the profit, which he readily accepts. Soon Alfred's other writer friends hire Howard to sell their scripts, which quickly makes him financially comfortable, but he soon sees the dark side of the business especially when he gets investigated for being communist sympathizer himself.
The film was written and directed by those who personally went through the blacklisting when it happened, which is great, but the film cannot seem to decide whether it wants to be a drama or comedy and takes too much of a timid, middle-of-the-road approach that is neither impactful nor memorable. Lots of prime comedic potential gets completely glossed over like when Howard is forced to do a rewrite on a script in a hurry despite having no background, or knowledge on how to do it. This occurs twice and both times the film fails to show what he does to get out of the jam, he is shown for a couple of seconds on the phone presumably with Alfred getting advice, but it would've been funny hearing their conversation and seeing him quite literally sweat his way through the process.
The drama gets handled in too much of a genteel way too making the intended message mild and not something that completely connects emotionally with the viewer. The scene where Zero Mostel jumps out of a hotel window when he realizes his career is over happens much too fast. One second we hear the window being opened and the next second the camera quickly pans over to see that Mostel is no longer standing in the room making it seem more like he just disappeared into thin air. The ending where Howard finds himself forced to testify in front of the House of UnAmerican Activities panel is weak as well. The final 20 minutes is spent with this big build-up of what Howard will do when he is put in front of them, but the payoff is slight and hinges on him telling them to go 'fuck themselves', which is such an overused expression in this modern age that it hardly resonates as it once might've been.
End of Spoiler Alert!
Allen is an obnoxious protagonist that I did not find funny or sympathetic. He became so unlikable that I started wanting to see him get caught and even humiliated, which I don't think was what the filmmakers intended the viewer to feel. I also thought it was ridiculous that this scrawny, dorky looking guy would be so brazen to come-on to hot looking women like he does. I know in the movies that he directs this always occurs and I looked past it as Woody simply revealing his diluted, narcisstic ego, but this film was done by a different director, so things should've been presented in a more realistic way by having the beautiful women laugh at Woody when he attempted to ask them out and forcing him to settle for someone his physical equal. I realize that Andrea Marcovicci's character falls for Woody because she thinks he's the writer of the scripts, but I would think after she went out with him for awhile she'd start to realize he wasn't the same person she thought he was and not have to have it explicitly spelled out for like it ultimately is.
It would've worked much better had Michael Murphy been cast as Howard as he was more able to convey likable qualities. Zero Mostel is also quite strong as the desperate comedian and had his character been cast in the lead it would've given the viewer a stronger feeling of what it was like to be blacklisted during that era as the story would've been told from the victim's point-of-view instead of having those directly affected by the McCarthyism relegated to only supporting parts.

The Hand (1981)
4-Word Review: He loses his hand.
Jon Lansdale (Michael Caine) is a gifted comic book illustrator who loses his hand in a freak car accident. They are unable to locate the missing limb at the scene and therefore unable to reattach, so he's fitted with a prosthetic one made of metal. In the meantime the severed one goes on a murderous rampage killing all those that Jon has a problem with.
The film, which is based on the novel 'The Lizard's Tail' by Marc Brandell, can best be described as an experimental horror and to some degree is quite intriguing. I liked the psychological subtext showing the hand as being a symbol to Jon's subconscious and acting out the anger that he felt from others, but ordinarily too reluctant to do anything about. The story conveys a very universal message that we are in many ways two people, the one we choose to display to the world and the other more politically incorrect one that we try to hide from it.
Had it remained more on a subtle, intellectual side it might've worked, but showing the severed hand as much as it does is its biggest downfall. The scenes showing the hand strangling people looks quite tacky as instead of seeming like the victim is trying to pull the hand off of their throat it looks more like they are trying to hold it in place so it doesn't fall off. It also brings up all sorts of unanswered questions like how is the hand able to move around so quickly and sneak inside buildings and cars and where does it get the strength to strangle people, or jump up to their throats when all the muscles connected to it have been severed away.
It would've worked better had the hand not been shown at all and kept a mystery as to what was causing the murders and then only at the end expose the hand as being the culprit, which would've made Jon's final confrontation with it much more startling and impactful. An even better idea would've been to have the metal hand act as the one that does the killing since this one resembled Freddy Kruegar's and looked far creepier.
Oliver Stone's direction is interesting especially his technique of going from color to black and white and then back again, but the story drags on longer than it should and seems to give too much away. The twist at the end is great because it's actually a logical one that makes perfect sense, but then at the last second Stone sells-out by throwing in tacky 'second twist' that is nothing but a gimmick that makes the whole thing seem too commercial.
On the acting side Caine is adequate, but I found his wavy hair far more fascinating than the hand and I especially enjoyed seeing how progressively disheveled it gets the more insane that he becomes. Andrea Marcovicci is standout as his wife. Initially I thought she was too young to play his spouse as there was a 16 year difference between the two, but her very expressive face particularly her blue eyes and the way it conveys fear helps heighten the suspense.

The Stuff (1985)
Posted on July 15, 2013 | 1 comment
4-Word Review: Ice cream can kill
An old man comes upon some white stuff bubbling up from the ground and when he tries it he becomes addicted to its delicious taste. Soon everybody in the small town he is in becomes hooked to it as well. Some businessmen, who would never touch the stuff themselves, decide to market it as the next new variation of ice cream and call it The Stuff. It becomes a national craze, but when 11-year-old Jason (Scott Bloom) finds it crawling around in his refrigerator late one night he becomes convinced that there is something wrong with it, but he can't get his family to stop eating it. Mo Rutherford (Michael Moriarty) begins to get his suspicions as well when he is hired by a competing company to find out what the secret ingredients are only to come at a dead-end with people he talks to. When everyone starts to display odd zombie-like behavior the two join forces to shut down the company that produces.
It is really hard to figure out what genre to put this thing into. Most movie sites list it under the horror category, but there really isn't anything that scary in it. I might actually put it as sci-fi, but it is a bit vapid at that level. If anything I would say the true category would be as a parody of all those old sci-fi movies from the 50's as well as a satire on mass consumerism.
The film does feature some goofy commercials advertising the product that is spread throughout the story and features famous B-celebrities as the spokes people. My favorite was the one with Abe Vigoda and Clara Peller. Peller was famous for doing a Wendy's commercial in the 80's where she asked "Where's the beef?" and in the ad here she asks "Where's The Stuff?"
The special effects are hit and miss. The best ones feature the white liquid that looks like a cross between marshmallow topping, shaving cream and the white foamy stuff that comes out of a fire extinguisher. The best moment is when it starts to spew out of a pillow in a hotel room with such force that it completely covers a man with it and sticks him onto the ceiling. I also liked the part where actor Garret Morris has his mouth opened to an extreme size before he spits it out and then has his head explode.
Moriarty with his unique acting style scores again as a sort of anti-hero. His presence gives the movie an interesting edge. His bowl haircut, Cheshire grin and beady eyes make him almost look like some loner psycho killer from the sticks and allow for one funny exchange between him and actor Alexander Scourby's character:
Scourby: You're not as dumb as you look.
Moriarty: Nobody could be as dumb as I look.
As much as I love Andrea Marcovicci who is a truly beautiful woman to look at as well as a great actress I felt her character was not needed. She plays a woman who also teams up with Mo and Jason in their crusade to stop the Stuff. The romantic interplay between Mo and her character didn't work and takes away from the quirkiness and edge that the Mo character had at the beginning. Having the heroes exclusively been between a kid and a middle-aged man would have been much more of a fun novelty.
The film does not have the schlocky, low budget production values that are a characteristic of most Larry Cohen movies. The lighting, variety of locales and reproduction of an Ice Cream factory are actually quite impressive. This is also one of the few films where you get to see the inside of a liquid storage truck. However, it lacks any type of interesting twist or payoff. There is never any explanation about what this white stuff is, or how it got there. There is also hundreds of potentially interesting scenarios and story threads that it could have taken, but doesn't. In the end I felt this thing was just tapping the surface and the final result is rather empty and forgettable.

Damascus gives U.N. list of nominees for constitutional committee
GENEVA (Reuters) - The Syrian government has submitted a list of names to the United Nations as candidates for inclusion in a constitutional committee, U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura told Reuters on Monday.
Hadiya Yousef (R) and other delegates take part in a conference in Syria's Kurdish-controlled northern regions, in the town of Rmeilan, Hasaka province, Syria December 28, 2016. REUTERS/Rodi Said
Formation of the committee, which will rewrite the Syrian constitution, was agreed at a Syrian peace conference in the Russian ski resort of Sochi in January. It is up to de Mistura to decide whom to pick.
De Mistura's spokeswoman Reem Ismail said the U.N. was carefully studying the list of names but declined to comment further.
De Mistura has said he will select about 50 people, including supporters of the government, the opposition and independents.
The main opposition negotiating group has agreed to cooperate as long as the committee is formed under U.N. auspices.
The government at first agreed to the plan, but later rejected it. Its submission of a list of names to the U.N. follows a meeting earlier this month between President Bashar al-Assad and his main backer, Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
Russia has held the balance of power in Syria, both on the battlefield and in the U.N.-led peace talks, for the past two years. It has helped Assad recover huge amounts of lost territory in Syria without persuading him to agree to any political reforms.
The U.N. Security Council, which includes Russia and the United States, has mandated de Mistura to get a deal on a new constitution, new elections and a reform of Syria's governance.
But nine rounds of talks, most of them in Geneva, have failed to bring the warring sides together to end a seven-year-old conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven millions from their homes.
Assad's government announced in 2012 that voters had overwhelmingly approved a new constitution in a referendum, conducted amid civil war, that was derided as a sham by his critics at home and abroad.
The new basic law maintained real power in the presidency but dropped a clause that in effect granted Assad's Baath Party a monopoly on power.

Q: How to create a new theme in Vaadin over an existing one? My client is using Vaadin to develop web applications and wants me to make a new theme for a project, based on the existing Valo theme in Vaadin 7.3.
I know HTML and CSS (SCSS) and a little bit of jQuery but that's all, I'm a web designer with very limited, if any, programming skills. I'm trying to understand how Vaadin works and how to create new themes but I'm a bit lost on how to start. I've tried to read a 'book of vaadin' and other resources on the internet but I'm having a hard time because I don't know Java and most of it is written for programmers, not designers.
Can anyone explain me the principle of theming in Vaadin?
What can I change and what is contolled by Java?
Will my CSS be overwritten by Java and how? Where can I change/disable such behavior?
Where do I find a list of css rules/classes available in vaadin?
Do you know any Vaadin resources for designers?

A: With vaadin you don't need to know java for creating/modifying themes.
Vaadin 7 uses SASS to simplify CSS management.
It requires you to understand sass, there are many tutorials available in the internet, for example this one.
The starting point is for sure this link in the book of vaadin and the web page for the valo theme itself.
On the demo page you see what components are available/styled in valo.
If you wish to see what valo has for styles in css terms, look inside the vaadin-themes-7.3.5.jar file.
In the folder VAADIN\themes\valo\components you will see a scss file per component. And there you can also see the variables you can use for sass compilation.
The step to generate CSS file(s) from your scss definitions is usually automated in the build steps of vaadin.

A: The beauty of valo is that is a theme highly customizable just by playing with the theme variables.
This means you can change how it looks with few easy modification in
WEBCONTENT\VAADIN\themes*appname**appname*.scss
In this same file you can, of course, add your own totally independent styles.
Component are set to use their "valo styles" by default. For each component you can then decide to add or remove some. There are already some built-in customization for the components in the ValoTheme class like ValoTheme.BUTTON_DANGER will render the normal Valo button but with the color set in the variable $v-error-indicator-color.
In the same folder styles.scss should be used to import the eventual sub-scss you might need. This is used to prefix your app-styles with [appname-] so they do not conflict with other style names.
styles.css is the actual css file the app will use, you have to "Compile theme" to update it
Leave alone addons.scss since is for internal framework use.
Good starting point are
https://vaadin.com/book/-/page/themes.valo.html chapter
https://vaadin.com/valo
https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Valo+Examples (some Valo prepared customizations, you'll see how with few adjustment the whole app changes a lot; you can see them in the Valo example and even in the Vaadin Sampler)
Good styling! Regards
