Self-proclaimed Bitcoin creator Craig Wright committed fraud according to Florida court documents
cryptoslate.com
Craig Wright, the controversial creator of Bitcoin SV claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, could be facing jail time for fraud. Documents from a Florida court proved that Wright committed perjury, as his defense contradicts an affidavit he previously submitted to an Australian court.
Wright summoned to appear in court, documents reveal he committed fraud
Craig Wright, the chief scientist at nChain and self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, shows no signs of stopping. After invoking the ire of the crypto community by suing UK podcaster Peter McCormack for libel, Wright went on to focus on a much bigger legal battle he faces in the United States.

Namely, Wright has been embroiled in a lawsuit with Ira Kleiman, brother of the late David Kleiman, who he claims helped him develop Bitcoin. Kleiman sued Wright for allegedly stealing 1.1 million BTC from W&K Info Defense Research, a company Wright and David Kleiman founded and operated.
After refusing to reveal his Bitcoin holdings and appear in front of a judge, the Southern District of Florida court ordered him to appear at mediation on Jun 18 to address the allegations against him. Wright previously filed a motion to postpone the case and be allowed to attend the mediation through video conference. The motion was rejected by the U.S. District judge Beth Bloom.
However, the court documents also revealed that Wright has committed fraud, for which he could face up to five years in prison and various fines. According to the documents, after being accused of stealing over $11 billion worth of BTC, Wright "filed a sworn declaration that is incontrovertibly false based on an affidavit and supporting evidence he previously submitted to an Australian court."
Wright lied about his involvement in a Florida company he and Kleiman owned
The lawsuit against Wright alleges that he and Dave Kleiman mined over 1.1 million bitcoins through their jointly owned company called W&K and that after Kleiman's death, Wright took unlawful possession of all the bitcoins and intellectual property of the company.
After receiving a complaint from Ira Kleiman and the Kleiman estate, Wright filed a motion with an Australian court saying he had no connections to Florida or W&K. He then supported these claims with a sworn declaration stating he was never a shareholder, member, agent, employee, or representative of W&K.
But, most importantly, he swore, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States, that he'd never exercised authority or control over W&K.
However, it was found that Wright submitted an affidavit to the Supreme Court of New South Wales, where he confirmed that he owned 50 percent of W&K Info Defense LLC, while Kleiman owned the other 50 percent.

He then doubled down, saying that "W&K Info Defense LLC was an incorporated partnership" and that "all shares are held jointly." According to the court documents, Wright also said he called a "shareholders meeting" in 2013, where he was the sole vote that nominated the director of the company.
The affidavit directly contradicts sworn statements Wright had made to the court in Florida, where he asserted that he had never been a shareholder or a member of W&K and that he never exercised any authority or control over the company.
Documents which Wright signed as the "authorized representative" of W&K were revealed, as well as multiple occasions on which he identified himself as the lead researcher of the company.
The crypto community has responded strongly to these new developments, with many coming up with further evidence showing Wright contradicting himself on various occasions. Others have come up with their own theories on why he claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto in the first place.

Warning: this raw, vitamin-B-packed faux Parmesan is as addictive as it is delicious.
Maybe you're like some of us around the VegNews offices who are striving for healthier habits in the new year—you know, whittling down the number of snack breaks to just five per day, and reducing the quantity of Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels consumed on a daily basis. That sort of thing. Lifestyle changes like these can be daunting, but integrating more Parma! vegan Parmesan is easy-peasy. This stuff—which tastes salty, tangy, and rich—makes everything taste better: popcorn, salad, pasta—even Chinese food! Try it, and see if you aren't tempted to give your funky cheese topping the heave-ho for good.

Day 1 of 3 1/2 week camp in preparation of the u17 Women's World Cup
Have you ever imagined living in a completely different environment? Not just like going on a vacation, but going to a new place with different people, customs and food, and living there? I feel like I have two homes — one in Folsom, Calif, and the other in Mexico City, Mexico.
My immediate family and school are in Folsom, but my second family and dreams are in Mexico. My second family is my soccer team — specifically, the U17 Women's Mexican National Team — and my dream is to represent Mexico in the U17 World Cup, as well as further down the road. To conquer my dreams I feel as if my whole life shifted. New friends, a new place to sleep, getting used to different types of foods, being in a different time zone, and not only being a student-athlete, but an independent study student. A lot of my friends say that I'm "lucky" because I don't have to attend school, but I would choose school over teaching myself any day.
I am currently at a 3 ½ week camp in Mexico at a facility called CAR (this is where all Mexican National Soccer Teams train). At the end of the camp, cuts will be made and the final team will immediately travel to Costa Rica to represent Mexico in the 2014 U17 Women's World Cup.
Whenever someone asks me, "How is it going in Mexico?" I usually reply with "Good" or "Really good" because it is hard for me to put into words everything that I feel. I have put in so much time, hard work and faith to be where I am, and I have never been happier. I can't explain to anyone what it means to me or how I feel when I put on that green jersey, but "good" is good enough for me.

THE World Bank Group has announced a new set of climate targets for 2021-2025, doubling its current five-year investments to $200 billion in support of countries taking ambitious action.
The plan boosts support for adaptation, recognising climate change's mounting impacts on lives and livelihoods.
"Climate change is an existential threat to the world's poorest and most vulnerable," said group president Jim Yong Kim. "We are pushing ourselves to do more and to go faster on climate change, and we call on the global community to do the same.
About $100 billion of the new total comes in direct finance from the World Bank (IBRD/IDA), the rest from combined direct finance from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and private capital mobilised by the World Bank Group.
A key priority will be increased support and recognition for millions of people facing the consequences of extreme weather events. By ramping-up direct adaptation finance to reach around $50 billion over FY21-25, the bank will – for the first time – give this an emphasis to equal emissions-reduction investments.
World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva said the funding would be used to build better-adapted homes, schools and infrastructure, and invest in "climate-smart" agriculture, water management and social safety nets.
Adaptation will be undertaken systematically, with a new rating system to track and incentivise global progress. Actions will include supporting higher-quality forecasts, early warning systems and climate information services to better prepare 250 million people in 30 developing countries for climate risks.
The new targets build on the bank's 2016 Climate Change Action Plan. In 2018, the World Bank Group provided $20.5 billion in finance for climate action, meeting its 2020 target two years ahead of schedule.
Key sectors will include energy improvement, assistance for 100 cities to achieve low-carbon emissions, resilient urban planning and transit-oriented development. Food and integrated landscape management covering up to 120 million hectares of forests in 50 countries.

Q: how can i get one value from one field (Crystal report) I get one field V_Name from Database is"Name,StartTime:13:56,EndTime:16:56", how can i just get only one value 13:56 from it? i only want the start time under the column start time. i've tried choose(1,table.field) but it seems only take the first index Name, and the return type should be string. please suggest. Thanks

A: If the format of the string is always the same you can get the value between character 16 and 21. Create a formula "StartTime" and place this code there:
Mid ("Name,StartTime:13:56,EndTime:16:56",16 ,5 )

This should return 13:56
To make it a real formula replace "Name,StartTime:13:56,EndTime:16:56" with your field, it will be something like {table.V_Name}.

A: Try:
// {@end_time}

// create array from comma-delimited list
Stringvar Array values := Split( "Name,StartTime:13:56,EndTime:16:56", ",");

// extract "16:56"; convert to time
Time( Split( values[3], ":")[2] + ":" + Split( values[3], ":")[3] );

Rock And Roll Part Three
Label: Kung Fu Records
by [redacted] August 26th, 2001
Kung Fu Records have not really been known in the past for championing what is affectionately known as 'geek rock' but with their latest release there is a slight change.
Being brought up in the 1980s and fed on a diet of 'Back To The Future', Nintendo and 'Star Wars' provides the lyrical inspirations for Ozma's 'Rock And Roll Part Three', while musically they could be none more Weezer with a touch of Rentals (which may or may not have something to do with some of their songs being produced by ex members of both those bands). Let's be blunt here – I could never take Ozma seriously when I first heard them. To put it in perspective, they sound as much like Weezer (with added Casio) as Muse do Radiohead. But one day for no apparent reason, something clicked… the songs. In short, there are tunes here of near genius.
'Rocks' and 'In Search Of 1988' are bouncy, gleefully cheesy pop songs which will leave you grinning like a loon. Ozma know how to write catchy fast songs which are apparent here but they also have the quirky edge of 'Domino Effect' and 'Apple Trees', the album's already classic opening double. There are great lyrics to be found everywhere, such as on CD-ROM video 'Gameover' (lines from 'Back To The Future' and about finding "extra lives") and "I'd give me heart if I had one for giving" on 'If Only I Had A Heart'. But where they really excel are on the slower songs like 'Baseball', which has a brilliantly-touching instrumental guitar intro before building into a mini epic, the HUGE 'Battlescars' ("there's battlescars on all my guitars") and the one which the 'Star Wars' fans love, the album's defining moment, 'Natalie Portman' ("there's nothing, there's nothing, there's nothing I can do").
Sure enough it tails off in places. 'Last Dance' is a great finish to the album but it's basically the Fountains Of Wayne's 'Radiation Vibe' in disguise. 'Shootingstars' and 'The Ups And Downs' seem a little throwaway on the first few listens but could turn out to be growers. The most important thing is that if you love guitar pop, you will love Ozma. If you love the likes of Weezer, Ash and The Get Up Kids, you will REALLY love Ozma. Whether or not 'Rock And Roll Part Three' has the staying-power of 'Pinkerton' remains to be seen but for now, considering this is their first 'proper' album, it's near perfect.

Agathe Habyarimana, geborene Agathe Kanziga (* 21. Januar 1942 in Tororo, Uganda) ist die Witwe des am 6. April 1994 beim Abschuss seines Flugzeugs ums Leben gekommenen Staatspräsidenten von Ruanda, Juvénal Habyarimana.

Leben

Habyarimana und ihr Akazu genannter Familienklan galten als die eigentliche Macht hinter dem Thron der zwanzigjährigen Präsidentschaft ihres Mannes. Ihrem Akazu wird eine entscheidende Rolle beim Völkermord in Ruanda zugeschrieben.
Agathe Habyarimana spielte sowohl bei der Gründung von  1993 als auch bei der 1990 gegründeten Zeitung Kangura eine entscheidende Rolle. Radiosender und Zeitung waren Propaganda-Organe, die eine Volksverhetzung betrieben, die zum Genozid führten.

Unmittelbar nach dem Tod ihres Mannes und dem Beginn des Völkermords wurde sie von französischen Truppen aus Ruanda ausgeflogen. Sie lebt bis heute in Frankreich, ihr Asylantrag wurde 2009 abgelehnt. Am 2. März 2010 wurde sie in ihrem Haus in Courcouronnes südlich von Paris verhaftet. Nach wenigen Stunden kam sie unter Auflagen wieder auf freien Fuß. Der ruandische Justizminister forderte ihre Auslieferung.

Sie ist die Schwester von Protais Zigiranyirazo, der auch Monsieur Zed (oder "Mr. Z") genannt wird, einem Geschäftsmann und Politiker, der beschuldigt wird, 1985 an dem Mord der US-Gorillaforscherin Dian Fossey beteiligt gewesen zu sein. Er gilt auch als maßgeblicher Mitorganisator des Genozids von 1994. 2001 wurde er in Brüssel von belgischen Behörden festgenommen und an das International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) ausgeliefert. Er wurde am 15. Dezember 2008 in erster Instanz zu zwanzig Jahren Haft verurteilt.
Eine Berufungskammer hob das Urteil am 16. November 2009 wegen "fundamentale[r] Rechtsfehler" wieder auf; Zigiranyirazo wurde freigelassen.

The Brewery and Speakers Corner get disruptive for Knowledge Guild – Game-Changers: People, Ideas & Inventions that disrupted the world
Last night (Monday 26th February), The Brewery and Speakers Corner welcomed event professionals and budding disruptors to the first Knowledge Guild showcase event of 2018. The latest installment in the highly anticipated series celebrated the people, ideas & inventions which changed the world.
Compered by former Sky News anchor and current BBC World presenter Samantha Simmonds, the thought-provoking evening explored the movers and shakers from the worlds of sport, health and culture as well as the visionary leaders who've thrown out the rule book and found another way to play the game.
The evening consisted of a panel session with double Olympic champion, former MP and chairman of the London 2012 Olympics Lord Sebastian Coe as well as much-loved television presenter and former Team GB wheelchair basketball player Ade Adepitan, creator of the K1 auto-disable AIDS treatment and co-founder of Star Syringe Marc Koska and the first female controller of BBC One, Lorraine Heggessey.
The 180-strong audience were treated to personal accounts from those who have influenced, shaped and fundamentally changed the society we live in today. The evening highlighted the importance of pushing boundaries, using new approaches and facing challenges head on. From Lord Coe's accounts of running one of the world's most logistically complex planning processes, the Olympics, to Ade Adepitan's personal journey of overcoming his disability to become an elite athlete and Marc Koska's persistence in the face of enormous bureaucratic red tape to save over 14 million lives.
At the end of all the Knowledge Guild events, guests and speakers share stories during a Q&A session, before delving into the post event reception and networking opportunity. Guests also enjoyed a drinks reception and a bowl food menu, designed by The Brewery especially for the event. Dishes included beetroot gnocchi, miniature fish and chips, chicken tikka curry and winter spiced cheesecake.

Snap's stock has gained by more than 110% this year.
Investors have been optimistic about the stable user growth and company initiatives.
Users will continue to decrease as its core users age.
The stock price of Snap (SNAP) has more than doubled this year. Investors have cheered the company's revenue increase, improved margins, increased revenue per user, and its iOS app updates. In addition, they have cheered its continued boost of the Snap Originals and its recent entry to the gaming industry. It has received a number of upgrades from analysts at Citi (C), RBC Capital Markets, Summit Insights, Raymond James, and Cowen (COWN).
I have been short for a long time. Before it became a public company, I argued that it's IPO provided the best opportunity for short sellers. Since its IPO, the company has lost more than 50% of value. While the current rally has been painful for me as a short seller, it has not changed my thinking about the company. In this article, I will explain why I have increased my short position ahead of the upcoming earnings.
Investors have cheered the company's growth in average revenue per user (ARPU), which increased by 37% in the last quarter to $2.09. While this improvement was good, I believe that it does not tell the whole story. According to Snap's 10k, the ARPU is calculated by dividing the quarterly revenue by the average daily Active Users (DAU). If the revenue increases and the number of users decline, the ARPU will definitely be high. This has been the case with Snap, which has seen its annual revenues grow from just $54 million in 2015 to more than $1.18 billion in 2018. Its daily active users have decreased from a peak of 191 million in Q1'18 to 186 million in Q4'19.
The company's product has been losing members, which is not a good thing for a social media company. These members are jumping ship to Instagram, which has more than 500 million daily active users. In addition, new social media platforms that target the young demographics are coming up. An example of this is TikTok, which has more than 150 million DAUs in China alone. In a recent report, eMarketer expects the number of Snap users in the US to remain relatively unchanged.
I believe that Snap will continue losing users in future. This is because it is now mostly used by people between 18 and 35 years. In the next ten years, the current generation will likely not be using the app. The young students who use it will be busy with work while the older generation will be busy with work and raising their families. The younger audience the company will target will probably be in other platforms. This cycle has been proven by Facebook, which was once viewed as the cool place in the internet by young people. Today, most of its users are between 25 and 44 years. Facebook's strong financial position has made it pivot to other platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp.
To increase engagement, Snap has pivoted to original content and gaming. While the originals is a step in the right direction, I believe that only a small portion of its users will watch the clips. Very few users will create accounts with the goal of watching these clips also. The same is true with gaming, which I believe will be a small niche product. Also, production of these shows will be expensive, coming at a time when the company is yet to turn a profit.
As an investor, I like buying companies that solve a problem. For example, I have invested in Shopify (SHOP) because I believe its e-commerce platform is better than that of its peers. I have invested in Alphabet (GOOG) because it is the best search engine provider that has more room to grow in the cloud industry. I have a small stake in Twitter (TWTR) because I believe that its platform is valuable for news distribution.
According to the 10K, the company says that it contributes to human progress by empowering people to 'express themselves', 'learn about the world', and 'have fun together'. The company surely does these things but I don't believe that it solves any problem. By this, I mean that the world would do just fine if Snap stopped operating today. If this happened, the company's users would simply move to Instagram, which is exactly similar. In fact, its most influential figures like Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Taylor Swift are also the biggest influencers in Instagram. The problem with companies that don't solve any problem is that they can easily be replaced.
When investing in companies, I always recommend companies that are a bit cheaper. However, I often break this rule when investing in some technology companies like Shopify and Twilio (TWLO). This is because their growth can compensate for their stretched valuations. In Snap's case, we have a highly overvalued money-losing company, whose growth is slowing. At the current valuation of more than $15 billion, the company's forward price-to-sales ratio for this year is about 7.8, which is higher than Facebook's 6.1, Twitter's 6.6, and Alphabet's 4.4.
With this valuation investors are assuming a few things. First, they assume that Snap will be immune to the privacy problems that have been a thorn in the flesh for Facebook. If regulations come, I believe they will also apply to Snap. Second, they assume that the new content will help retain users. I believe that these new additions will be used by only a tiny number of users. Third, some assume that the company could be taken private or acquired. I believe that no major company would want to buy the company at these valuations.
I have been short Snap for a long time. Even with the current bull run, I believe that the company's model is still broken. For this reason, I have increased my short position ahead of the upcoming earnings, which will be released on April 23rd. To be clear, the short position forms only a small part of my entire portfolio. Also, as a long-term investor, I intend to hold this short position for the next 5-10 years.
Disclosure: I am/we are short SNAP. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Blind Guardian "Beyond The Red Mirror" Album Review
Posted By TheVociferator on March 18, 2015. Under Power Metal, Reviews, Symphonic Metal
Blind Guardian has been in the forefront of the German speed/power metal scene since the late 80's. With fantastical stories and epic opuses, they have not slowed down with time while others have been slowly deteriorating. They still shred their guitars and write amazing melodies!
I pre-ordered the digibook version of the album and was instantly in love with the album the moment I took it out of the packaging. So far I have listened to the whole album over 50 times and my fervent love for this masterpiece has not waned. Originally released January 30th, 2015, this album has become an earlier contender for the album of the year. It has been a long five years since the last album "At the Edge of Time" and it has been well worth the wait!
If you are new to Blind Guardian expect big, booming, Wagner-influenced choruses, guitar shredding, and a multitude of melodies. I absolutely enjoy how Blind Guardian blended romantic-era classical music with rock and metal. I was glad to see that they showed signs of their origins in speed metal with songs like "Ashes of Eternity," "The Holy Grail," and "Sacred Mind."
As far as influences, Blind Guardian tends to be an influence rather than to be influenced by other metal bands. I like how they are influenced by Wagner's pieces with huge refrains and a sound that fill enormous halls. They definitely do keep some of their old vibe which reminds me of Iron Maiden and other NWOBHM bands. I can also detect a slight Toto influence on "Ashes of Eternity" near the end. I feel like I was listening to "Africa" by Toto.
"Beyond the Red Mirror" is filled to the brim with melodies and heavy, distorted riffs. "The Ninth Wave" is a great (but a little long) opener and displays what to expect for the rest of seventy minutes. Suspiciously consecutive, I really enjoy "At the Edge of Time," "Ashes of Eternity," and "Distant Memories," with all their amazing melodies. My favorite is the final track "Grand Parade" with perhaps the "grandest" of all choruses. I honestly cannot find any song with a chorus with such heaviness or bold declaration. I find almost all the songs quite fulfilling, and memorable; I could probably sing lines from each song on any given day; and I often have a riff or melody stuff in my head for days at a time.
Many people complain about the quality of the production and the awful mixing, but I really did not mind it. Hansi's voice rises like a phoenix from the music and all the instruments can be heard and are comprehendible. My one problem with the album is the song "Sacred Mind." I feel like this was a song quickly written and added to the album. I think it lacks some of the substance that the other songs contained.
Overall I really enjoyed this album and it will definitely be featured on my albums of the year list later on. I believe "Beyond the Red Mirror" was worth the wait, and Blind Guardian will have to crunch a lot of time in the studio to come back with an album to contend with their latest.

Sinaphaenopoides zhaoyiae — вид пещерных жуков-трехин, единственный представитель монотипического рода Sinaphaenopoides из семейства жужелицы (Carabidae). Эндемик Китая. Название вида дано в честь Ms. Yi Zhao, коллектора типовой серии. Родовое название указывает на сходство между этим родом и родом Sinaphaenops.

Распространение
Китай (Хунань, Chenzhou Shi). Известен только из пещеры Zhongguo Dong в пригороде Чэньчжоу Ши.

Описание
Слепые троглобионты с длинными 11-члениковыми усиками и тонкими ногами. Длина 5,8—6,3 мм; ширина 1,6—1,7 мм. Тело коричневое до тёмно-коричневого, но ротовые щупики и лапки бледнее; умеренно блестящее; голова с несколькими редкими длинными волосками на темени и щеках, переднеспинка и надкрылья голые; вентрит покрыт коротким опушением; микроскульптурные гравированные сетки умеренно поперечные на лабруме, голове и шейном перегибе, полосатые на остальной части головы, переднеспинке и надкрыльях. Голова удлинённая, почти в два раза длиннее своей ширины.

Sinaphaenopoides похож на род Sinaphaenops Uéno & Wang, 1991, распространенный в Гуйчжоу и на севере большей части Гуанси, как по форме тела, так и по хаетотаксии. Однако между ними существует большой географический разрыв. Например, пещера Zhongguo Dong, местонахождение Sinaphaenopoides, находится примерно в 500 км от пещеры Laji Dong (Libo Xian, юго-восточная Гуйчжоу), которая является местонахождением S. wangorum Uéno & Ran, 1998, самым восточным для вида Sinaphaenops. Однако Sinaphaenopoides имеет несколько отличных от Sinaphaenops характеристик, имеющих родовое значение, помимо менее удлинённых и тонких ног и усиков, таких как: (1) голова с тремя парами лобных сетчатых пор у Sinaphaenopoides, против только одной или двух пар лобных сетчатых пор у Sinaphaenops; (2) скапус усиков длиннее, чем педицель у Sinaphaenopoides против более короткого у Sinaphaenops; и (3) надкрылья умеренно выпуклые у Sinaphaenopoides, с более или менее прослеживающимися полосами, по сравнению с сильно выпуклыми надкрыльями и полным исчезновением полос у Sinaphaenops. Возможно, Sinaphaenopoides филогенетически родственен подроду Dongaphaenops Deuve & Tian, 2014 в составе Sinaphaenops, поскольку они имеют следующие общие характеристики: (1) голова покрыта редкими волосками, с более короткими усиками, которые простираются только до вершины надкрылий; (2) ментум и субментум слиты; и (3) пронотум с двумя парами латеро-маргинальных пор. Филогенетический анализ, основанный на молекулярных данных, позволил предположить, что Dongaphaenops является независимым родом. Вид был впервые описан в 2023 году китайскими энтомологами (Mingyi Tian, Sunbin Huang, Xinyang Jia; Department of Entomology, College of Plant Protection, South China Agricultural University, Гуанчжоу, Китай).

20 Futuristic Movies Whose Future Has Passed Us By
Posted on March 19, 2014 March 19, 2014 by Dan Torkel
14. A Scanner Darkly (Richard Linklater – 2006)
Future – "7 years from now" (2013)
The Movie – A Scanner Darkly is based on a sci-fi master Philip K. Dick's story (Dick's also wrote Bladerunner, Total Recall, the Adjustment Bureau, etc.) In the near future America has lost its war on drugs, and the new Substance D is the latest drug that is causing hysteria amongst the addicted populace. Keanu Reeves is an undercover cop, and full blown addict trying to stop the spreading of D in southern California.
The film is a trippy psychedelic experience; done mostly in blurred animation which helps explain the "scramble suits" Reeves must wear to stay undercover. Between the animation, the drug lingo, and splitting personalities that come from Substance D usage, A Scanner Darkly is not like any film you've ever seen before.
Got it Right? – America's war on drugs is ongoing and continuing to sputter. In 2013, the year the film takes place, many states legalized recreational use of marijuana on Election Day. There are dozens of tabloid stories of people taking bizarre illegal drugs leading to situations where a man was found eating a homeless man's face (TRUE STORY).
Perhaps most problematic is America's addiction to over the counter and prescription medications, a problem faced by millions. We are also constantly kept aware of drugs and addiction via celebrities. Philip Seymour Hoffman, an Oscar winner was recently found dead of a heroin overdose. Losing the war on drugs, I don't know. But we are certainly not winning.
13. Death Race 2000 (Paul Bartel – 1975)
Future – 2000
The Movie – We've all been there. In our cars, on highways and crowded intersections surrounded by pedestrians who seem to be teasing you to kill them. We jokingly assign point values… hey 20 points for that old lady! That's the subplot in this dystopian future thriller that depicts America in the year 2000 like Rome after the Pax Romana (sorry I'm a history teacher).
After financial ruin and a military uprising, America has become a fascist state. Just like the Roman Emperors, "Mr. President" distracts the populace with gladiator games. Only instead of charity races, there are car races with drivers named Frankenstein, Nero the Hero and Machine Gun Joe. The racers compete to be the last one standing (living) and get points for killing civilians along the way. One driver, as well as an underground resistance organization are plotting to use the race as a backdrop to overthrown the government.
Got it Right? – In many ways, Death Race 2000 is the granddaddy of the modern reality show. Millions of Americans tune in nightly to watch perfect strangers on "reality TV" shows like Amazing Race and Survivor. While some would view modern America as not so different from the radically changing landscapes of 1960s, no one goes to protest or create change today.
A primary reason for this is the distraction of and obsession with reality TV, and mass media. Other films and works of literature would use a similar plot line. Battle Royale and Hunger Games both show dystopian futures where totalitarian governments use competitions to keep the people subservient.
12. The Omega Man (Boris Sagal – 1971)
The Movie – Like previously mentioned I am Legend, The Omega Man is based on Richard Matheson's book, telling the story of one lone survivor, Robert Neville (this time Charlton Heston); in a world right after a disease wipes out the entire population, battling infected sub-humans (The Family).
Heston made a slew of futuristic thriller in the late 60s to 70s including this, Planet of the Apes, and Soylent Green. Unlike the later version which relied heavily on CGI effects for its monsters, the Family looks like Romero-esque zombies giving the film a more realistic feeling.
Heston also conveys the insanity of the loneliness he feels being alone against the Family. Also by allowing the mutated Family to speak and have a code of values. They see Neville as a product of science and military might, and thus a symbol of the old destroyed world that needs to be destroyed as well.
Got it Right? – I liked this better than Will Smith's Legend because I felt the latter was a dumbed down CGI effects film whereas this showed the Family as more angry post-world mutants than monsters. Their hatred of Neville is due to his association with what destroyed their world, science and the military.
In that regard, many of the films themes have come true. The US has military stationed across the globe with current situations in North Korea, Russia/Ukraine, and Syria et. al. One can see where Matheson's story is at the same time a work of fiction, but also a prophecy of what may come.
11. Alien Nation (Graham Baker – 1988)
The Movie – Aliens come to Earth and… join the police force? In this cool new take on alien invasion, the "newcomers" are otherworldly human-like aliens. They learn English, join our work force, and seemingly mean no harm. James Caan plays Sgt. Matthew Sykes, who is forced to accept a newcomer as a partner (Mandy Patinkin). Together they uncover a drug ring led by a newcomer played by General Zod himself, Terrance Stamp and work to bring him down.
The film touched on many themes, including racism (using aliens as the others in the way Pleasantville used "coloreds"). This was also one of the first films to use aliens in a uniquely new way, instead of as invaders, monsters, and destroyers. There are parallels between this and District 9, another terrific and unique alien film. The film also spawned a TV series, comic books, and TV movie sequels.
Got it Right? – Well, no, no aliens yet of course. But still a great premise.
10. Robocop (Paul Verhoeven – 1987)
Future – "the near future"
The Movie – Detroit is a cesspool of violence, poverty and crime. Super corporation OCP (Omni Consumer Products) is about to make a fortune by churning out a mechanized police force to take control over the riddled city.
Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is brutally murdered by coke-sniffing mobster Clarence Boddicker (who coincidentally works for OCP's evil business head Dick Jones). Rather than bury Murphy he becomes the prototype for the new Robocop and sets out with a mission: Dead or alive, you're coming with him! Of course he not only shoots bad guys in the junk; he also helps take down OCP and get revenge for his "murder".
Got it Right? – Well, the Robocops no; but the economically depleted, criminally ravaged cesspool known as Detroit….DING DING DING… We have a WINNER! Evil corporations dominating every aspect of our lives in an endless pursuit of MORE money… You win AGAIN!!!
9. 2012 (Roland Emmerich – 2009)
The Movie – This one's pretty simple. It's 2012, and the Mayan calendar happens to be RIGHT! The world is ending! As in the ground is collapsing between your feet, buildings in every major city are tumbling down, trains are flying out of tunnels into a fiery blaze, and best of all… John Cusack is driving JUST FAST ENOUGH to avoid ALL of this!
2012 is as much a comedy as it is epic disaster flick, but sometimes you just need a "shut your brain off" movie to enjoy for a few hours. Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) was quoted as saying if he was going to make another disaster movie, he had to do the end of the entire world. Just like Independence Day, Emmerich takes his aggression out on the White House, this time via tidal wave complete with aircraft carrier smashing down onto it.
Got it Right? – Like Y2K all over again; years of panicking and stockpiling the shelters for a doomsday that doesn't arrive.
8. Deep Impact (Mimi Leder – 1998)
Future – 1999 – 2000
The Movie – Figured I'd just stockpile the two disaster flicks back to back. Deep Impact was the much better comet/meteor hitting the Earth blockbuster to come out in the summer of 98. While Armageddon made more money and had a better soundtrack (Aerosmith), Impact was a better scientific and thought provoking movie.
Journalist Jenny Lerner is assigned to look into the background of Secretary Alan Rittenhouse who abruptly resigned from government citing his wife's ill health. She learns from his secretary that Rittenhouse was having an affair with someone named Ellie but when she confronts him, his strange reaction leads her to reconsider her story.
In fact, a meteor, discovered the previous year by high school student Leo Biederman and astronomer Dr. Marcus Wolf, is on a collision course with the Earth, an Extinction Level Event. A joint US-Russian team is sent to destroy the meteor but should it fail, special measures are to be put in place to secure the future of mankind. As the space mission progresses, many individuals deal with their fears and ponder their future.
The other thing that separates this from Michael Bay's noisy blockbuster is the fact that half the comet actually hits Earth, wiping out the east coast with a thousand foot high tsunami and killing millions.
Got it Right? – No comets yet, but how about predicting the coming of a black president! Morgan Freeman totally owned the role of President Beck with his familiar calming voice in the midst of a horrible situation. A decade after the film came out; Barack Obama would use his voice to preach change in the midst of horrible economic meltdown. Not quite a comet, but still an impressive foreshadowing of America's future.

The Gunlaug Saga of the Serpentine Language
Unknown - Saga heroic
Saga begins with a story about the parents of the protagonists. Thorstein, the son of Egil and the grandson of Scallagrima, lived in the Gorodishche. He was intelligent and worthy man, everyone loved him. Once upon a time he sheltered a Norwegian. He was very interested in dreams. Thorstoy dreamed that there was a beautiful swan on the roof of his house, to which two eagles had flown - one from the mountains and the other from the south. The eagles began to fight among themselves and fell dead, and then the falcon flying from the west took a sadly swan behind him. The Norwegian interpreted the dream as follows: the pregnant wife of Torstein, Yofred, gives birth to a girl of unusual beauty, and two noble people from whom the eagles flew from: the two will love her and will beat each other up to death, and then the third person will be picked up by her. and she will marry him. Torstein was upset by this prediction and, leaving for the tung, ordered the wife of the boy to leave, and throw the girl out. Yofred gave birth to a very beautiful girl and told the shepherd to take her to Torgerd, the daughter of Egil. When Thorstein returned, Josefid said that the girl was thrown out, as he had ordered. Six years passed, and Thorstein went to visit Olav Pavlin, his son-in-law. Sister Torgerd showed him Helga, asking for forgiveness for deception.

Illuga Cherny lived on the White River in Krotoyar. He was second in nobility in Gorodische Fjord after Thorstein, son of Egil. Illuchi had a lot of children, but only two of them were in the saga - Hermunde and Hunlandau. About Hunlaugh tell that he was early mature, was tall, he was strong and good. He loved to compose violent poetry, and for this he was nicknamed Zmein. Hermunda loved more than Hunlandga. Twelve years later, Hunllaug had quarreled with his father, and Thorstein offered him to live in the Gorodishche. Hunllaug studied the laws of Thorstein and earned universal respect. They and Helgo are very attached to each other. Helga was so beautiful that, according to the intelligent people, there were no women in Iceland more beautiful than her. One day, Hunnlaug asked Torstein to show how he was getting married to a girlfriend, and he made a rendezvous with Helgo, but Torstein warned,
There was a man named Enund on the Mystic Mountain. He had three sons, and they all had great hopes, but he was particularly distinguished among them. Hrafn was a tall, strong, handsome young man who was able to compose good poetry. Enund had many relatives and they were the most respected people in the south.
For six years, the Hunland Valley of the Serpentine Language has lived alternately in the Torpstein Mountains, then at home in Krotoyar. He was already eighteen years old, and with his father they were now well off. Hunllaug asked Illugia to let him go on a journey, and he bought him a ship. As long as the ship was fitted, Hunnlaug went to the hometown and spent a lot of time with Helgo. When he began to marry, Thorstein replied that it was necessary either to go for the sea or to marry - Helge is not a couple who does not know what he wants. But Illugi Black Torstein could not refuse, and promised that Helga would wait for Hunllaug for three years, and if he did not return in time, Thorstein would give her another.
Hunnlaug went to Norway, but he had to leave from there, because he had angry Yarl Eirik with his tenacity. He sailed to England and composed a laudable song for Konul Adalrad - for this the Kong donated him with a purple cloak on a fur with a gold trim. Then he killed in a dueling known viking: this feat brought him great fame in England and beyond. The Dublin conggregation Sigturygg thanked him for a laudable song with an expensive cloak and a gold wrist weighing one mark. In Hutland then Yarl Sigurd ruled. Once argued Gauta with the Norwegians, whose Jarl is better. The elected arbitrator, Hunnlaug, told Vise, in which he commended Jarl Sigurdu, and Jarl Eiriku. The Norwegians were very pleased, and Yard Ayrik, having learned about it, forgot about his offense. In Sweden, Hunnlaug met with Chaplain, the son of Enund, and made friends with him. But for the banquet at the Konuna, Olawa Hunllaug wanted to say the first song of praise. The hrafn called it hurried and harsh, as Hunland was himself. Hunllaug called the song Hrafna beautiful and insignificant, as Hrafn himself. Before leaving for Iceland, Hrafn said that his former friendship was over, and sometime he would also conjure Hunluga. He replied that threats are not afraid.
Throughout the winter, Hrafn spent time with his father, and in the summer he drove to Helge. Thorstein denied him, citing the promise given to Hunlandau. Next summer, the noble relatives of Hrafna began to cheat Helga very persistently, saying that the term of three years had already passed. Then Thorstein drove to Illuga Black. He said that he did not know exactly the intentions of his son Hunland. It was decided that a wedding would take place at the beginning of the winter in Gorodisch if Hunlandug would not return and would not require a promise. Helga was very dissatisfied with all this conspiracy.
Hunlandau from Sweden traveled to England, and Konal Adalrad accepted him very well. The Danes were then threatened with war, so the Konung did not want to let go of his warrior. For half a month before the beginning of winter, Hunlandug landed in Lava Bay, and here he was summoned on a fist battle by Tord, son of the bond from the plain. Hunnlaug won, but dislocated his leg - and came to Krotoyar the very Saturday, when he sat at the hill behind the wedding feast. People say that the bride was very sad. When Helga learned that Hunllaug was back, she became cold with her husband. At the end of the winter, they met with Hunluga during the holiday, and Scald gave her a cloak obtained from the Konul Adalrad. In the summer, everyone went to the tung: there Hunllaug summoned Hrafn to a duel, but when Chrafn broke his sword, the relatives stood between them. The next day, a law was passed that all fights in Iceland are now prohibited.
Hrafn arrived in Krotoyar and invited Hunlandau to finish the fight in Norway. To his relatives, he said that he had no joy from Helgi, and one of them should perish by the hand of another. When Jarl Ayrik forbade them to fight in his state, they met in a place called Livangr. Hunllaug killed Hrafna's companions, and Hrafn - Hunlandga's satellites. Then they began to beat two.
Hunnlaug cut off the leg Grab, and he asked to drink. Hunllaug brought in a helmet of water, and Hrafn gave him a dashing blow to his head, because he did not want to give Helga the Beautiful. Hunllaug killed Hrafna and three days later he died of a wound. At that time, Illya Black had a dream, as if he had come to him with a bloodied Hunlandug and told Vise about his death. And Ennudu in a dream appeared Hrafn.
In the summer at the Althinge, Illugi asked Enund for a hug for what Hrafn had done to Hunlough. Enund said that he would not pay, but he would not require a hare for the vire. Then Illuchi killed his two relatives, and Hermund, who lost his peace after the death of his brother, pierced one of his nephews with a spear. Nobody demanded a barn for murder, and on this stopped Illyu Black's fight with Enund from the Mushroom Mountain.
Thorstein, the son of Egil,, after a while, gave out his daughter Helgu for a decent and rich man named Torquel. But she was little to him, because she could not forget Hunllauga. The greatest joy for her was to open up and look for a long cloak for her. Once upon a time in Torquay's house there was a serious illness, and Helga also suffered from illness. She ordered to bring Hunluga's cloak and looked closely at him, and then bowed to her husband's hands and died. Everyone was very sorry for her death.

As of 2002, more than 800 teen courts were in operation across the United States, up from fewer than 100 programs just a decade ago. The rapid spread of teen courts underscores their popularity with the public, elected officials, schools, and parents. According to some advocates, teen courts are inexpensive to operate, reduce recidivism by young offenders, and promote increased knowledge of the law and respect for legal authorities. Skeptics, on the other hand, fear the possible net-widening effect of teen courts and resent the illusion of legal authority that surrounds teen court proceedings. Whether teen courts live up to the claims of their advocates is unknown. Research about teen courts is limited, although some studies offer encouraging results. This article examines how teen courts work and what current research tells us about the benefits and drawbacks of these youth-run programs.

Lo Shin Kokin Wakashū (新古今和歌集, "Nuova raccolta di poesie antiche e moderne"), noto anche in forma abbreviata come Shin Kokinshū (新古今集) o anche colloquialmente come Shin Kokin, è l'ottava antologia imperiale di poesia waka compilata dalla corte giapponese, tradizione iniziata con il Kokin Wakashū nel 905 circa e terminata con lo Shinshokukokin Wakashū circa nel 1439. Il nome può essere letteralmente tradotto come "Nuova raccolta di poesie antiche e moderne" e ha una voluta somiglianza con quello della prima antologia. Insieme al Man'yōshū e al Kokinshū, lo Shin Kokinshū è considerato una delle tre antologie poetiche più influenti nella storia della letteratura giapponese. Fu commissionato nel 1201 dall'imperatore in pensione Go-Toba (1183-1198), che istituì un nuovo Dipartimento di Poesia nel suo castello di Nijō con undici Membri, guidati da Fujiwara no Yoshitsune, allo scopo di condurre concorsi di poesia e compilare l'antologia. Nonostante la sua enfasi sui poeti contemporanei, lo Shin Kokinshū copriva una gamma più ampia di epoche poetiche rispetto al Kokinshū, comprese le poesie antiche che i curatori della prima antologia avevano deliberatamente escluso. Fu presentato ufficialmente nel 1205, nel 300º anniversario del completamento del Kokinshū.

Editori dell'Antologia
Anche se Go-Toba ha mantenuto il potere di veto sulle poesie incluse nell'antologia e sull'ordine in cui sono state presentate, ha assegnato il compito della compilazione a sei membri del Dipartimento di Poesia. Questi erano Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241), Fujiwara no Ariie (1155-1216), Fujiwara no Ietaka (1158-1237), Jakuren (c. 1139-1202), Minamoto no Michitomo (1171-1237) e Asukai Masatsune ( 1170-1221). All'antologia è stata data anche una prefazione in prosa giapponese di Fujiwara no Yoshitsune e una prefazione in cinese, la lingua accademica della Corte, di Fujiwara no Chikatsune, in un modo che ricorda il 'Kokinshū'.

Significato
L'importanza dello Shin Kokinshū risiede principalmente nell'esperienza tecnica dei compilatori, nel loro uso nuovo e intensivo della tecnica letteraria nota come honkadori e nell'effetto che ciascuno di questi elementi ha avuto sulla poesia giapponese dopo la sua pubblicazione. Anche se il Kokinshū è famoso in parte per la sua organizzazione in tutta l'antologia, poiché ogni poema è generalmente usato come introduzione al successivo, lo Shin Kokinshū va ben oltre lo standard creato dalla raccolta originale. Gli editori del Kokinshū usavano collegare le poesie come guida generale, ma gli editori di Shin Kokinshū crearono "un'antologia che può essere letta dall'inizio alla fine come un'unica lunga struttura divisa in libri". Ad esempio, nelle sezioni sul tema della Primavera, i curatori hanno messo insieme una rappresentazione dettagliata in forma poetica dell'avanzare della primavera e del passare del tempo, usando parole ed espressioni simili per collegare ogni poesia alla successiva. Nella sezione sulle poesie di viaggio, la progressione va da poeti e stili antichi a quelli moderni e, come è comune nelle antologie waka giapponesi, le sezioni sull'Amore sono organizzate per mostrare le fasi di una relazione dal primo amore all'amara separazione.

Questo tipo di elaborazione dettagliata ha portato a un'antologia che non conteneva necessariamente tutte le migliori opere dell'epoca. Come si lamentò Fujiwara no Teika, l'insistenza di Go-Toba nell'includere nell'antologia le opere di compositori antichi, oscuri o addirittura incompiuti, al fine di mantenere collegamenti appropriati a quelle poesie degne, rese l'onore di avere 46 delle sue poesie incluse nell'antologia meno soddisfacente. Ego individuali a parte, il risultato finale è stata una composizione che non solo ha attraversato secoli di tradizione letteraria giapponese e stili letterari in evoluzione, ma ha anche fornito un vero e proprio libro di testo su come apparivano le poesie scritte bene e male. L'elaborata forma di concatenazione sviluppata dai compilatori viene ripresa e proseguita anche con lo sviluppo della forma renga o "versi concatenati", in cui i poeti hanno scritto insieme una serie di versi a turno continuando l'immagine del verso precedente e introducendo qualcosa di nuovo per il prossimo poeta su cui lavorare. Anche i renga usano spesso la tecnica honkadori, poiché ogni poeta aveva solo una breve frase su cui lavorare ed era importante la possibilità di alludere a precedenti poesie complete.

Il termine "Honkadori" si riferisce alla pratica della "variazione allusiva" e può essere letteralmente tradotto come "prendere da un poema originale". Anche se le allusioni a poesie più antiche erano comuni nel discorso poetico del tempo, dopo l'XI secolo e prima della sperimentazione di Fujiwara no Teika con l'honkadori, era disapprovato fare ovvi "prestiti" da scrittori del passato. Tuttavia, ciò è cambiato in modo significativo con la pubblicazione dello Shin Kokinshū. Invece di imitare solo il flusso orizzontale del Kokinshū, le poesie della Nuova Collezione creano anche collegamenti verticali con le tradizioni poetiche del passato, e prendono a prestito da poesie specifiche e non semplicemente da frasi già pronte, gli autori e i curatori delle poesie dello Shin Kokinshū furono in grado di allontanarsi da argomenti abusati e più chiaramente non originali che i poemi antichi avevano reso popolare.

Struttura
La struttura dello Shin Kokinshū riecheggia in molti modi quella del Kokinshū, ma mostra anche l'influenza delle antologie imperiali intervenute. Come si può vedere nella tabella sottostante, lo Shin Kokinshū omette alcuni libri dall'antologia originale e ne include altri su argomenti poetici che hanno guadagnato importanza solo dopo la pubblicazione del Kokinshū.

I 20 libri dello Shin Kokinshū contengono quasi 2.000 waka, con il numero che varia a seconda dell'edizione, poiché Go-Toba ha continuato a modificare ampiamente l'antologia anche dopo il suo esilio sull'isola di Oki. Ogni poesia è introdotta con informazioni riguardanti l'occasione per la quale è stata composta (se tale informazione era disponibile) e nella maggior parte dei casi è anche elencato un autore. I principali contributori poetici contemporanei allo Shin Kokinshū includono Saigyō con 94 poesie; Jien con 92; Fujiwara no Yoshitsune con 79; Fujiwara no Shunzei con 72; la principessa Shikishi con 49; Fujiwara no Teika con 46; Fujiwara no Ietaka con 43; Jakuren con 35; e Go-Toba con 33.
