How Claire Danes Met Her Taller Husband Hugh Dancy: Love at First Set »
Romeo + Juliet: Even Claire Danes Couldn't Resist Young Leo's Charms
December 4, 2021 • by Jan Stromsodd
Over twenty years after the release of Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo + Juliet, an adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play of the same name, the movie has become a classic in its own right.
Perhaps even more memorable than all of the Hawaiian shirts and thumb-biting were the stars of the film, launching the careers of then 17-year-old Claire Danes and 21-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio.

As the years have gone by, fans have learned more and more about what happened behind the scenes of Romeo + Juliet.
Claire Danes wasn't the first choice to play Juliet
Even though Claire Danes' performance has gone down in the history books, it almost never happened! In fact, the woman first chosen for the role was none other than Harvard graduate Natalie Portman.
Portman was only thirteen years old at the time, and although she was the same age as Juliet in Shakespeare's play (Romeo's age is unspecified, but most adaptations place him around sixteen to eighteen) showrunners felt that Portman looked too young.

"Fox said it looked like Leonardo was molesting me when we kissed," Portman told The New York Times. Alongside Leonardo DiCaprio — who was 21 at the time — it was simply too creepy, so we don't blame showrunners for replacing her.

Fresh out of filming My So-Called Life, Claire Danes was chosen for the role. At seventeen, the future Yale student made a more age-appropriate Juliet, and her chemistry with DiCaprio was evident from the beginning, as he told the New Yorker, "She was the only girl that looked me in the eye in auditions."
Maybe the other actresses were just nervous? Young Leo was very cute, after all…
Leonardo DiCaprio was determined to get the role of Romeo
At only 21 years old, Leonardo DiCaprio was very ambitious in the way he went about securing the role of Romeo.
Baz Luhrmann was already interested in DiCaprio for the role, telling iHeart Radio, "When I saw Leonardo I thought, God, that's how [Romeo] should look. But can he act? Then I found out he was the pre-eminent young actor."
DiCaprio had already proved his acting chops with a 1993 Oscar nomination for What's Eating Gilbert Grape? but didn't want to leave his audition to chance.

In fact, the young actor — along with a gaggle of his famous friends — hopped on a plane from Los Angeles to Australia so he could personally audition for director Baz Luhrmann. In the end, Leo's unorthodox methods paid off.
"He came down to Australia and he brought all these friends and we made a whole video of the show with other actors," Luhrmann told Vogue. "I won't say who, it will never be seen, I realized that I couldn't make it without him."
Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio's relationship was… complicated
The on-screen chemistry between Danes and DiCaprio was (and still is) undeniable.
Rumors have swirled for years that the co-stars were secretly dating while filming Romeo + Juliet, and even more rumors surfaced that the pair didn't get along or worse — that they hated one another.
As far as the first rumor, even years later, neither Danes nor DiCaprio has confirmed that they ever dated — but have never outright denied it, either. However, Danes later revealed that her relationship with the actor was a bit more nuanced than the public may have believed.

At the time Romeo + Juliet was filmed, DiCaprio was at the height of his heartthrob fame — and he knew it.
In fact, he and his friends had been dubbed the "Pu*sy Posse" by the media for their loved-up, party boy lifestyle. DiCaprio, as the ringleader of the said posse, got away with plenty of mischief on set.
Despite her young age at the time, Danes was a serious actress. Though she may have found DiCaprio's pranks a bit immature, she wasn't immune to his charms, either.
The actress said that their relationship was "problematic" due to the fact that her desire to maintain a level of professionalism on set was at odds with her feelings.

"Yes, that was problematic," the actress said years later during a 2017 interview with W Magazine. "I couldn't really have a crush on the guy I was professionally having a crush on!"
In fact, this crush was reciprocated, which Danes says may be the reason behind the rumor that she and DiCaprio didn't like each other — they were acting like little kids at recess.
"There was definitely a spark, but I don't think either of us knew how to handle it," Danes explained. "So we sometimes sort of ignored each other. It was too big for us to really accept."
Romeo + Juliet was a huge career milestone for the young stars
After the success of Romeo + Juliet, both Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes were able to forge lasting careers.
DiCaprio had already been on Hollywood's radar after his role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? but Romeo + Juliet showed the public that he was an extremely versatile actor, not just a one-trick heartthrob.

DiCaprio went on to star alongside Kate Winslet in Titanic, thrusting him into global stardom.
Coincidentally, Claire Danes was asked to star alongside DiCaprio again in Titanic but turned down the role.
"I looked at [Leo] like, I totally understand why he wanted to do [Titanic], but I'm not ready for that," she explained on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast.

"I remember after the movie came out, he just went into another stratosphere… It was a little scary. I just couldn't do it, I didn't want it."
Since then, Danes has gone on to appear in titles such as Temple Grandin, Princess Mononoke, Homeland, and Evening, where she met her now-husband, Hugh Dancy.

It was about time someone gave Claire Danes a star! In September 2015, the actress finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after years of work in Hollywood.
Claire may have burst onto the scene alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in "Romeo and Juliet," but never seemed to get a big break like Leo's role in Titanic, and instead, found herself slowly taking on smaller roles.

That's why when the actress broke down mid-speech, we totally understood her. The then 36-year-old revealed that her parents gave up so much just to get her a mere shot at Hollywood.
Claire choked up as she thanked her dad for driving her to all her auditions, and could not stop the tears from flowing as she thanked her mom for being with her acting gigs.

"This is really cool to see my fans come here and cheer me on," she said. "That just means so very much to me. And of course, my parents are here. These are the two without whom I would be doing something else entirely."
"This is a little overwhelming and totally wonderful. I just learned that this building was built for actors because actors were such an unreliable unseemly bunch and they could never pay their rent and they needed some charity, so it's appropriate that I reside here."

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Monday, April 1, reveal that Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) will unite as they try to find out who their well-doer is. The former couple has been set up numerous times on various "accidental" dates. However, they are both smart enough to know when they're being played, per She Knows Soaps.
Despite Katie having warned Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) not to set her up on any dates with Bill, it seems as if she has enjoyed her time with him. She previously told Donna that she and Dollar Bill had already been married twice, and it didn't work out either time. However, The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicate that Katie will start to see the man who she first fell in love with.
As far as Bill is concerned, he called Thorne (Ingo Rademacher) a fool for leaving Katie. He promised to be there for her and their son. He has also mentioned that he loves spending time with her and does not seem averse to getting back together with her again. In fact, it appears as if Bill has been enjoying their dates.
Their matchmaker took things to a new level last week. Katie was told to drop by Bill's office via a text message she received from him. However, when Katie arrived, Bill did not know about their supposed meeting. Chef Chambre (Tamar Braxton) was then shown into Bill's office. They were treated to a special meal, which happened to be Bill's favorite.
Katie and Bill took the time to reconnect and find pleasure in each other's company. But by the end of the meal, they decided that they needed to find the person who had been setting them up.
Last week, Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) spoke to Donna and asked her if she was responsible for the date in the office. This means that Justin is not the culprit.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers video shows that Wyatt will ask Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill (Don Diamont) a question. The shot shows Donna, Wyatt, Bill, and Katie in the living room. Wyatt wants to know, "So, what's the verdict? Guilty? Innocent?" Since they are now ruled out as the matchmakers, only one suspect remains.
Will Spencer has been trying to set his parents up, per The Inquisitr. And it seems as if his efforts were not in vain.

Mother of neglected Danielson children pleads guilty; faces 30 year-sentence
John Penney
jpenney@norwichbulletin.com
DANIELSON – A former Danielson woman pleaded guilty Friday to neglecting her three young children so severely they did not recognize each other as siblings.
Inside Danielson Superior Court, Donna Rodeheffer pleaded guilty to three counts of risk of injury to a child. She faces up to 30 years in prison, with a right to argue for less at sentencing.
Rodeheffer is the fourth member of an extended family, including the children's father and two uncles, to plead in connection in the neglect case. The children's grandmother, 59-year-old Martha Kelley, rejected a plea deal and her case is due to go to trial soon.
State's Attorney Anne Mahoney said an investigation into the family, who lived for years at 39 Broad St., began in July 2016 as part of a child pornography case involving the children's father, Nicholas Emory and his two brothers, James and Jason Emory.
Mahoney said when police entered the home they found three children, ages 6, 5 and 3 at the time, in horrific states of neglect.
"The 6-year-old was severely dehydrated with a vitamin deficiency, tooth decay and still in diapers," Mahoney said. "He weighed only 35 pounds and did not speak."
Mahoney said the boy's siblings were in similar states of physical, mental and social decay. She said the 3-year-old child had difficulty even standing when police arrived.
"(Rodeheffer) did not bring the children outside, they did not go to school and were not allowed friends," she said. "They were kept apart to the point that the 6-year-old did not know his sisters were his siblings."
The three Emory brothers each pleaded guilty in March to possession of child pornography, while Nicholas Emory also pleaded to one count of risk of injury to a minor. James and Jason Emory were sentenced to five years in prison, Nicholas Emory to an eight-year term.
Mahoney said discussions with Rodeheffer and her lawyer, Matthew Davis, indicated to her that Rodeheffer would be willing to testify for the state against Kelley when her trial begins.
"But there was no benefit offer made in regards to her sentencing because of that," Mahoney said.
Davis noted the prospect of an accelerated rehabilitation program for her client was rejected by Judge Jack Fischer at a previous judicial pre-trial.
"I can't imagine any court granting (accelerated rehabilitation) in a case like this," Fischer said.
Rodeheffer, who only spoke on Friday to plead guilty, is due back in court on June 29.

After Solo: A Star Wars Story failed to make a splash at the box office, Lucasfilm learned a valuable lesson about the Star Wars franchise and how to deal with any and all future projects.
At Star Wars Celebration, MTV News interviewed Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy to discuss the futuer of the franchise following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
"Right now I have no idea where things might fall, but we have to be careful that there is a cadence to Star Wars that doesn't start to feel like too much," she said. "We don't have a crystal ball, you know. We tried a little bit with Solo to see if we could do two movies a year and whether or not there was really an opportunity for that and we felt that's not going to work. So we backed off that a little bit. But it doesn't mean we don't think about lots of different stories because that's the exciting thing about this universe."
Solo, in part due to an inflated budget and underwhelming box office, performed abysmally by Star Wars standards. Many fans speculated that Lucasfilm would change its future slate of films as a result, and it would appear they're correct.
"We're using this appropriate time as an opportunity to see where we're going now that we're leaving The Skywalker Saga behind," Kennedy continued. "But there's no question that there's certain characters that we've created -- certainly in the last three movies -- that we may very well wanna see down the line in the future."
"We also have huge opportunities with Disney+ now to be able to look at that space and find perhaps even smaller stories, grittier stories, and yet Mandalorian...has huge scope and scale," she added. "So we're just excited about what the potential is for the kind of things that we can do."
Kennedy also assured there are several female directors and writers involved in The Mandalorian and that female directors will work on Star Wars films once the future of the franchise is ironed out.

The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction. It tells of the advent and the rise of the Snopes family in Frenchman's Bend, a small town built on the ruins of a once-stately plantation.
The story of Flem Snopes' ruthless struggle to take over the town of Jefferson, Mississippi, this is the second volume of Faulkner's trilogy about the Snopes family, his symbol for the grasping, destructive element in the post-bellum South.
The Mansion tells of Mink Snopes, whose archaic sense of honor brings about the downfall of his cousin, Flem. "For all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man," noted Ralph Ellison. "Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics." This volume includes a new introduction to the trilogy by acclaimed novelist George Garrett, author of Death of the Fox and The Succession.
In New Orleans in 1937, a man and woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict risks his one chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation.
Intruder in the Dust is at once an engrossing murder mystery and an unflinching portrait of racial injustice. Set in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, it is the story of Lucas Beauchamp, a black man wrongly arrested for the murder of Vinson Gowrie, a white man. Confronted by the threat of lynching, Lucas sets out to prove his innocence, aided by a white lawyer, Gavin Stephens, and his young nephew, Chick Mallison.
An allegorical story of World War I set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment.
William Faulkner has a reputation as a "difficult" author - but he doesn't have to be! With this new guide, The Unvanquished can be easy to understand. This guide is guaranteed to help you be an expert on The Unvanquished - all in a concise and enjoyable format. Whether you are totally new to the book or just want to deepen your understanding, this guide will save you hours of struggle and frustration.
As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of William Faulkner's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview – where James Atlas interviews James Lee Burke about the life and work of William Faulkner – begins as soon as the audiobook ends.
©1940 William Faulkner (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
Not as difficult as some Faulkner, The Unvanquished deals with the Civil War through the eyes of a youth who matures during and after the war and who recounts his encounters with violence. From the violence eventually a pacificist viewpoint emerges in light of the Almighty's dictum: thou shall not kill. Yet there is humor throughout the book, and you may find yourself laughing out loud. And the skill of the narrator is of the highest quality I have heard on audio. Enjoy.
If you could sum up The Unvanquished in three words, what would they be?
The collection of civil war stories is not one of Faulkner's monumental contributions to American literature, but still moving and pertinent. Mr. Collins read the story as if it were the first time he had read it and did so very slowly - enunciating every. single. word. completely. Perhaps he was told to do this for an audience that would require such attention, but to the average listener it was too prosaic. He attempted to do voices - kinda, but again it was his first reading of the collection.
Better listened to than read.
I had to read this book for a school assignment and found it difficult to get through. The reading is strange and hard to keep up with, but Faulkner does have some interesting themes within the story. I will say the narrator spoke at an incredibly slow speed so I felt the need to speed it up a bit, but it wasn't terrible. Overall it was average, but strange.

Home/Health/"This film was a reaction to the first months of imprisonment"
"This film was a reaction to the first months of imprisonment"
mccadminAugust 19, 2021
One year after it was shot and its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, it hits theaters this Thursday, August 19th. We're talking about Diários de Otsoga, the new film directed and written by Miguel Gomes and Maureen Fazendeiro, two filmmakers inspired by imprisonment to go for this creative exercise.
A small team, tested for Covid-19, closed in August 2020 in a house in Sintra. The goal? Create a movie – chronologically reversed – with scenes that are completely fictionalized but also based on real events that took place during those weeks.
As in other Miguel Gomes films, there is an aspect of improvisation – and the technical team themselves are in front of the cameras. The only actors were Carloto Cotta, Crista Alfaiate and João Nunes Monteiro, who played characters with their own names – maybe different versions of themselves. NiT interviewed the filmmaking duo about the new project.
"Diários de Otsoga" was recorded a year ago in a pandemic with you and a more or less reduced team that was closed in a house in Sintra. When and how did you come to think that you wanted to do this project?
Maureen Farmer: I think this film was a reaction to the months of first imprisonment. When the first detention ended, we went to see Crista Tailor, the film's actress, and that day we talked to her about the idea of doing something together. Very little time passed between the idea and the time of filming. It was a reaction to what we went through, the months we spent home alone, and we felt the need to meet others again, form a team, and do something together. The film was made from the time we spent together in the house.
Miguel Gomes: We thought about keeping a diary with all the ingredients that our detention didn't have. In other words, everyone in their home was isolated and we wanted to do something in a group. We didn't want to shoot with the cell phone in the living room, we wanted to film outside with a team, with actors. And so we decided to go into a house to do PCR tests. It happened very quickly, we didn't have a script and we had to find the film in this house – and we couldn't go.
And that happened?
MG: With a few exceptions [risos]. Because this film is very lifelike, which means that things have happened in our lives that have forced some of us to go. Some of it is in the film, some is not, it's part of our private life because we don't have to show everything, it's not "Big Brother". But the idea was to stay closed so that the risk of contamination is minimal. Back then it was said everywhere that it was impossible to go back to the cinema as it was before the pandemic. In other words, scenes of intimacy between actors have been completely ruled out. Kissing scenes, the simplest thing in the cinema was left out, it was a very difficult thing. And we decided: well, in this case we have to make a film that starts with a kiss. And we have to find a way to film this scene without taking too much risk for the actors. And that's what we did.
The film has a strong aspect of apparent improvisation and is a record that is present in Miguel's other films. Does the process have to do with capturing many spontaneous moments and finding the film in the cut? Or are you not so fond of describing the process?
MF: It's not quite like that, because although there is no script, the film was written the way it was shot in the house. So it wasn't about inventing the editing of the film: the film was already there, the diary was what happened in the house day after day. But we already knew, for example, that the film would be cut backwards, that time would run backwards. We already had the movement of the film and then the actors were working on the improvisation – there were moments of improvisation that were repeated. And then we recorded what happened in the house every day.
MG: If an actor had a toothache, we didn't know what would happen after two days. Maybe I had to pull a tooth, it could be amputated, we didn't know what that would entail. And the idea would be to integrate it from the start and then you could soon see what it's about. And there is, for example, a scene in which one of the actors has a toothache and we put something on his head because we didn't know what would happen if there was a sequel. And so, when we make a film that is very permeable to our own lives, we have to find a way without losing control over the structure of the film, the notion we have of what is going to develop, of being have to be able to have space to integrate things because they can be very relevant in the film. But we cannot predict this because we have to follow the passage of time and life.
Maureen Fazendeiro and Miguel Gomes directed the film.
Have you never feared that relevant events that you cannot predict would be missing?
MG: No, because, you see, some events were important and had weight in our lives the moment we were shooting. Maureen, who was pregnant, had a stressful pregnancy and had to completely change her diet, the way she experienced the shooting had to change – and that's in the film and has weight and meaning in our lives – but Also, when we talk about events in the film, it could be one of the actors, like Carloto, who always said, "Today I feel like bathing the dog. Do you want to film? "And we said either yes or no. It just so happened that we said yes that day so you can see Carloto bathing the dog. Bathing the dog is not exactly a cosmic event in Carloto's life, either Dog i think [risos], but there had to be room in the film for the everyday. We came from a time when our daily life was exposed. And it felt really good to get back together and photograph things that were more extraordinary or completely banal – but even that banality was something that somehow disappeared with this period of first imprisonment. There had to be room in the film for all of these things.
The actors have the same names as the characters. This is also where the interest lies in having a cross between reality and fiction and not knowing where one begins and the other ends, right?
MF: Yeah, we don't even know if they are characters or if there is even fiction in the more conventional sense.
MG: I think it's always characters.
MF: Yeah, yeah, that means we don't know if there is any fiction in the traditional sense, but both the actors and the technical team are all characters. The film is pure fiction, not a documentary about the shooting. There are scenes that are entirely fictional, others inspired by what really happened, but it's a fiction.
MG: When you turn the camera on, a professional actor immediately starts making a figure, even if he has no clues. When he has to make himself, he starts making a version of himself that he thinks fits this movie. And that's a fascinating thing for us to watch these three actors play themselves, far from what they are when the camera was off.
Is the film premiere at the Cannes festivals something very important and valuable or is it also overrated?
MF: I think it's important, the Cannes Festival is important [risos]. And it was important to go back to the cinema, there were no restrictions on the festival, there was a full room, it was important to show the film and to feel the reception of a full hall laughing a lot. We hadn't seen a movie in a room with so many people laughing in a long time.
MG: Of course it's the biggest festival in the world. This time it was a little smaller because there were a lot of restrictions, with a lot of people from other continents. There were few Asians, few South Americans, and it felt like the number of people was fewer. Despite everything, it was enough to fill a room and was exposed to the eyes of many people from different places, and of course that is an important thing.
Are you planning to continue making films together?
MF: No, I think that moment was a special moment, both in our lives and in everyone's life. And our response to that was to do this film together, and almost collectively, with the team. But we have other projects that stalled during the pandemic, each with its own. I am a screenwriter with Miguel on his projects. And now we're going back to what stopped a year and a half ago.
MG: Anyway, we've already shared our lives so it's enough trouble adding more stuff. [risos]. But this film was actually a reaction to that moment of isolation and I think it's a lot about reinventing social distance. In other words, it was and is obviously necessary, but we tried to find a way to at least put that distance into perspective, and we had a great desire to be with others. Live with others, live together, work together: that's what the film is about. And we had to lead by example and start by sharing the accomplishments and having a collaboration, a partnership that has to negotiate what is being filmed and what is not.
Hence the idea is to move on to other projects that were already thought of before the pandemic.
MG: Both Maureen and I had other projects that were suspended with the pandemic and at that moment we thought: what is the possible film in this context? A film that seems interesting to us, that has to do with this time, that can be a portrait of this time or a portrait of us in this time. But that it has properties that are almost opposite to that time, or that it works as an antidote. That was the challenge, we thought we had to do something. It was a very delicate moment for people who work in cinema and in art in general: the theater. Everyone was paralyzed, there was no way to do shows, make films, the Ministry of Culture whistled aside and said that the support was from the social security, and the social security had a very complicated relationship with this sector, a very special profession, with a very special context. As a result, most people received either no, no, or very, very little support. Of course we couldn't save, we're not the ministry, but we could make a film, that's our job. And so we thought: what is the film that we can make that we can include other people in? And the "Otsoga Diaries" appeared
One of the projects that Miguel had prepared was called "Selvajaria", right?
MG: It's a project set in Brazil, a war film, an adaptation of a book by Euclides da Cunha and a film about a civil war in the late 19th century. And it's very complicated, with a lot of people, with a lot of horses, with a lot of cannon shots and, in the current context, completely impossible. Covid-19 in Brazil is particularly dramatic. This film is funded and waiting for a more favorable context because now it is utterly impossible.
So what are you going to work on now?
MG: I have a film that is set in Asia and it's a real Asia that we shot in several countries, but also in the studio. Even that is not that easy at the moment, but less complicated than a war film in Brazil. Let's try to make this film first and it's about men and women [risos], the relationship between man and woman. Maybe it's a love story, maybe not, but first I have to do it and then we'll see. It's called the "Big Tour".

Only recently have I been able to learn the maiden name of my GGGrandma. I knew that my GGrandma had been born in the Pennsylvania"Dutch" area of PA and I knew her maiden name was Meyers. I was very surprised to learn that her mother's name was Clarissa Sofina "Schultz" which is now MY married name. Married 28 years and not knowing this! I have learned that her father's name was Peter S(c)hultz. His birth and death dates (1806 to 1870) match those of the Peter, son of Michael Shultz. My Peter Schultz married Elizabeth Walter(1810-1853) and they are buried in the Samuels Lutheran Cemetery in Somerset,PA.
I can see that your research is quite thorough and I am enjoying all of it. Would you have any information on Peter, son of Michael?
Would very much like to hear from you.

I love reading about family histories; my husband and I have researched some of our own. It is exciting to look up the history and make the connection with family memembers past to present. I enjoyed it very much. I got this message through WARM; and I am currently working with Layl in the mentor program. I have begun some writing that coincides with a piece or two, but I am very new to the process. I would love to read more. Thanks again for alerting me to your sight. Deb Splain

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) is a surgery performed on dogs to stabilise the stifle joint after rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. During TTA the tibial tuberosity is advanced, which changes the angle of the patellar ligament to neutralise the tibiofemoral shear force during weight bearing. A titanium cage is used to advance the tibial tuberosity and a titanium plate is used to hold the tibial tuberosity in position. By neutralising the shear forces in the stifle caused by a ruptured or weakened CrCL, the joint becomes more stable without compromising joint congruency.

This summer marked the 50th anniversary of the world's first Audio-Animatronic show: Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, an attraction that lets birds and flowers sing together in a tropical paradise in Disneyland park. Using pure Disney Imagineering magic and a bit of pixie dust, guests find themselves transported from Adventureland to the Seven Seas and are entertained by a foursome of brightly colored macaws. To help celebrate this milestone year, Disney Merchandise Group has a collection of items for sale that will help bring the fun of the attraction right into your own home.
Image: Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room debuted in 1963 at Disneyland park.
I remember visiting the Tiki Room during my very first trip to Walt Disney World as a child. Even though the original is out in California, the attraction just said "Disney" to me and still does today. I love the feeling you get walking into this oasis-like room filled with beautiful flowers, fluffy feathered friends, and the sounds of the tropics. I still enjoy sitting by the windows that flash bolts of lightning and mimic a rainstorm outside. Walt Disney's creation was a true escape from the world around us, and I'm happy to see it getting the recognition it deserves during its 50th year.
Images: Walt Disney & his classic attraction has charmed guests for decades.
In several locations throughout both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Tiki Room fans can find new merchandise that is sure to bring back pleasant memories of the attraction. These items first started appearing on shelves after an exclusive anniversary event held at the Disneyland Hotel towards the very end of June. At the presentation, Disney legends Bob Gurr and Rolly Crump shared their insider stories about creating the attraction. Afterwards, attendees were able to see some of the new collectibles, prints, original works of art, pins, and more that were to be sold in the theme parks.

Recently, I took a stroll through the Art of Disney at Florida's Downtown Disney Marketplace and looked at some of the items available for purchase. I was really impressed with the variety offered and how colorful they were; this totally fits in with the theme of the attraction. One of the first things that I noticed was this set of postcards and coasters featuring original designs by the American artist, Josh Agle, better known by the nickname "Shag." I love his style of art and thought that these two items were a great option for those who don't have a lot of room to display bigger paintings or sketches. The postcard set pays homage to the eight original Tikis that appear in the courtyard outside of the theater; the coasters, on the other hand, focus on the famous Jose, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz who lead the show itself.
Image: Shag's postcard and coaster sets featured at the Art of Disney shop. To the left is a statue by Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily called UTi Goddess of Fishing.
Nearby, I also marveled at the detailed Tiki mugs designed by artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily. Both of these stoneware items are oversized and fun to display. I love their faces! They would look great on a kitchen shelf or home office. Similarly, Kidney and Daily also created a resin figure known as Pele Goddess of Fire. It sits 14 inches high and reminds me of those you see plastered on the Tiki Room walls.
Although they reminded me more of the luau at Disney's Polynesian Resort than the Tiki Room, these bowls definitely caught my eye. Both the Rongo bowl (left) and Polynesian Luau Party Bowl (right) are ceramic and meant more so as collectibles rather than to be used. They were also designed by Kidney and Daily.
This Hina Handbag was a popular choice among those shopping around me. It is brightly colored and features a bamboo-style handle. Shag designed the artwork which represents wind, fire, and rain; you'll see Tangaroa-Ru, Pele, and Hina as the main stars. This would make a fun bag to use when walking along the beach or outside grounds of the Polynesian.
In addition to the Art of Disney, you can also find Tiki Room merchandise at the Main Street Cinema shop in the Magic Kingdom. I had a lovely time looking at the artwork available there. I think my favorite is this piece by Shag which truly captures the fun of the attraction and its Mickey-ear-wearing guests!
Image: The above designs are available as an original acrylic, signed giclee, or deluxe print.
Disney fans know that the infamous Dole Whip pineapple soft serve and Tiki Room go hand-in-hand with one another. That's exactly what is captured in the below piece by Shag. It portrays a happy day at Disneyland where guests enjoy a treat before the show. Did you know that Disneyland allows you to bring your Dole Whip inside the attraction to enjoy, but Walt Disney World does not?
Other prints and even paper sculptures can also be found here and there on display. A special collection of pins has also been released featuring Disney characters and sculpted tiki masks. This boxed pin set and accompanying resin sculpture featuring Pierre and friends is available. Its title? The Original Glee Club. How cute!

Chris Knight with special guest Joshua Ray Walker

Kitchen 6:00pm
The Heights (map)
339 W 19th St.
Chris Knight doesn't like to say much. Won't chat about his worldview or engage in conversations on his creative approach. For 17 years, several acclaimed albums and a hard-nosed career that's been hailed as "where Cormac McCarthy meets Copperhead Road", Knight has always let his music do most of the talking. And on record – as well everywhere across America, from roadhouse taverns to major-city concert halls – his songs have had plenty to say. But with his most recent album, Little Victories (September 2012), Chris Knight has taken the discussion to a whole new level.
His first album of new material since 2008, Little Victories is a record of blunt honesty, elegiac truths and the raw rural poetry of an artist who's come into his own and intends to stay. And for a performer who's been compared over the years to Cash, Prine, Earle and Nebraska-era Springsteen, Knight now stands alone as a singer/songwriter that has carved his own idiosyncratic sound and sensibility out of the dirt road American dream. Little Victories not only sounds like a Chris Knight album, but the best Chris Knight album yet.
Little Victories also marked a reunion with producer Ray Kennedy, who'd engineered and mastered Knight's seminal Enough Rope and two Trailer Tapes albums and is well known for his work with Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, John Mellencamp and Lucinda Williams. The album's 11 songs purely rank among Knight's finest. And if the title track not only finds Knight at his most cheerily optimistic (for Chris, at least), it also features vocals from his lifelong musical hero John Prine. "When I was 16, I got a John Prine songbook and learned about 40 of his songs," Knight explains. "Used to play them for the kids in study hall at school every day. About 20 years later, I finally got to meet him when I opened a few shows for him. He asked me to come out and sing "Paradise" as part of his encore, and I got to play the blonde Martin guitar that was on the cover of his first album. I sent him "Little Victories" and he liked the song enough to be on it." Chris treasures the moment when the two first listened to the playback of their distinctive twangs rasping joyfully together on the chorus. "'Prine turned to me and said, 'We sound pretty good together. Just like Phil and Don Everly.'"
So after 17 years, 8 albums and a still uncompromised reputation as one of the best singer/songwriters in America, what has Chris Knight learned from it all? "I've learned that I'm pretty lucky to do what I do and make a living at it," he says. "I'm really proud of this record, and it'll be fun to play these songs live. For people who like my music and maybe even for someone hearing me for the first time, I think they'll find songs on here that mean something to them and they can hang on to. I don't want to talk about it too much, but I think people are gonna be surprised."
And for Chris Knight, that's victory enough.
A good night out drinking can find us making best friends out of people we've just met, but the best nights out are the ones that catch us unexpectedly sharing our innermost feelings and secrets with a complete stranger. Those uninhibited moments of truth and vulnerability are the same ones mined by Dallas singer-songwriter Joshua Ray Walker on his debut full-length Wish You Were Here. Through his incisive songwriting, Walker faithfully captures both the highs and lows of working class living.
In 2018, Walker opened for several of Texas' favorite acts, such as Old 97's, Eleven Hundred Springs, Two Tons of Steel, Vandoliers and James Hand at legendary venues like The Blue Light in Lubbock, Stubbs in Austin and The Dance Hall at Luckenbach. For an average of 250 nights a year, Dallas' classic country torchbearer shares pieces of himself with an effortless sincerity that has brought his audience to both tears and laughter – often at the same time. Told through a melodic, character-driven writing style that's honest to a fault, Walker depicts a cast of subjects on his debut that are down but never out.
There's the portrait of a 13-year-old lady of the streets painted in his lead single "Working Girl," which melds an up-tempo melody with clever wordplay projecting the strengths and struggles of a young woman just "doing what she's gotta do to get by."
"I often unintentionally write from the perspective of characters that I dream up," says Walker. "I can usually attribute a character to a person I've met, or people that I've known, combined with similar traits I find in myself. If it's by poor decisions or circumstances beyond their control, I find inspiration from the downtrodden and destitute. I see myself in these characters. I use these characters to explore things about myself in songs I'd otherwise be too self-conscious to write about."
But Wish You Were Here's best moments come when Walker sets aside the pretense of his characters, letting down his guard on tracks like the second single, "Canyon," to reveal his own fears, biggest insecurities and insatiable longing felt throughout his father's ongoing battle against Stage 4 lung cancer.
"I'm a big, big man," he sings in its gut-wrenching chorus. "Not just in size or in stature, but in terms of space that can't be filled. I'm a bottomless canyon without a drop to spill."
Raised on the sounds of the Smoky Mountains, Walker has been playing music since he was a small child, walking next door to his grandfather's house — an avid bluegrass fan and novice musician himself — every day after school to listen to records together. He also learned his first banjo and guitar tunes in his grandfather's workshop. It wasn't long before Walker grew into a well-seasoned multi-instrumentalist by grade-school and a working musician since the age of 13.
After playing in bands throughout his teens, Walker wrote his first country song, "Fondly," in the early morning, on Christmas Eve, 2009 -- just hours after his grandfather passed away from lung cancer that had only been diagnosed two weeks prior.
"Death and disease in loved ones seems to be a common theme in my life," Walker admits. "I think it's given me an intense understanding of the brevity of life. Sometimes that's what drives me to create something worthwhile, and sometimes it's just the motivation behind my anxiety, but either way it plays a large role in my life and music."
That's not to say Wish You Were Here is comprised of nothing but tear-jerkers. For every "Canyon," that lays itself bare at your feet, there's the wry, self-deprecating humor of a "Last Call," that jokes about it being better, at the end of the night, to just get out of the bar before the lights come on. For every "Keep," where the discovery of an ex's old trinkets sends the narrator over the proverbial cliff, there's a "Love Songs," that gives a lighthearted kiss-off to lovers past.
Recorded by John Pedigo of The O's (Old 97's, Vandoliers) at Dallas Audio (where Willie Nelson recorded Red Headed Stranger) and Studio B at Modern Electric Sound Recorders, Joshua Ray Walker's debut instantly earmarks him as one of Texas' most gifted lyricists and musicians and a major force in the songwriting community moving forward.
"Life is about timing I guess," Walker says. "I haven't changed my approach or work ethic in years, but people are starting to pay attention. I'm glad it took this long. If it had been possible to make my record any sooner, it wouldn't be this record that I'm very proud we made."

Astronomers have just watched the most powerful explosion ever seen
A gamma ray burst about 2.4 billion light years away is being called "the BOAT" – the brightest of all time – and is so powerful it has even affected Earth's atmosphere
Space 17 October 2022
By Leah Crane

Astronomers have spotted what may be the most powerful explosion ever seen. The gamma ray burst, called GRB221009A, was spotted on 9 October, and even its afterglow is brighter than most objects in the sky.
This type of gamma ray burst (GRB) is thought to occur when a massive star explodes in a supernova, leaving behind a black hole. The explosion creates an extraordinary jet of light which makes up the GRB itself, and then the supernova causes a dimmer afterglow. This particular GRB appears so bright partially because it is about 2.4 billion light years away from Earth, making it one of the closest GRBs ever spotted in addition to being the brightest.
"If we look at all of the gamma ray bursts that have been detected, this one stands apart," says Jillian Rastinejad at Northwestern University in Illinois. "Informally, we've been calling it the BOAT – the brightest of all time." She and her colleagues calculated that a GRB this bright is expected to occur only once every thousand years or so.
Gamma ray bursts could help unravel how fast the universe is expanding
We don't know exactly how powerful this burst is, though, despite the fact that many telescopes around the world are looking at it. That is partially because it is so bright that it saturates the detectors of gamma-ray telescopes, so all they see are completely white pixels with no detail, says Andrew Levan at Radboud University in the Netherlands, one of Rastinejad's colleagues. "If you had gamma-ray eyes, you'd be blinded," he says. Current estimates put the energy of the GRB between 10^54 and 10^55 ergs, he says – in contrast, the total energy released by the sun throughout its lifetime is expected to be about 10^51 ergs.
GRB221009A is so bright that it is affecting Earth, even from billions of light years away. Naval radio transmitters recorded a strange disturbance in the upper atmosphere, which seems to have been caused by the powerful light from the GRB slamming into it. Detectors that search for high-energy photons – particles of light – have also seen extraordinary particles with energies far higher than anything produced at the Large Hadron Collider.
This has made a splash among astronomers. "It seems like pretty much every telescope in the world is starting to look at it," says Rastinejad. But to learn more about the supernova itself and its home galaxy, they will have to wait until the bright jet fades, which could take months. Once that occurs, we should have a better idea of why this GRB was so extraordinarily bright.

Literally within the same week Reid and Victor independently came to me and said we need to do a blog. One that puts a developer audience first. One that actually helps developers move the WebRTC market forward. One that is not bounded by commercial interests. One that is not technically neutered to satisfy a broad audience.
This is a place for WebRTC developers looking to build stuff. It is a place for standards guidance, technical insights, and data-based analysis.
I am fortunate to be joined by two technical experts (Reid & Victor) with extensive backgrounds in designing and building real time communication networks who have turned their focus on making WebRTC work today in the real world. I look forward to experimenting and learning from and with them along the way.
We appreciate your reading. Please leave us your comments and ideas – positive and negative. We're here to figure this out together.

LAST CHANCE: The 5 greatest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals STILL available
Today is Cyber Monday, which usually marks the end of the Black Friday sales period. Although Cyber Monday was traditionally a one-day only sales event, which saw online retailer slash their prices in a similar way to Black Friday discounts from high street shops the previous week, both of these bargain bonanzas have merged into a single four-day weekend of deals. And there are only a few hours left to bag the best bargains. Between Amazon, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, Apple, Samsung, Sky, Virgin Media, BT and many, many more, there has been no shortage of amazing discounts to enjoy. After sorting through thousands of price drops, Express.co.uk has rounded up our five favourite bargains…
1/ Free 4K TV from Virgin Media
If you're looking for freebies, this one is a real doozy. This incredible deal runs out at midnight tonight, November 29, 2021. Until then, it's available to anyone who signs up to the Bigger Bundle + Movies, Bigger Bundle + Sports, Bigger Bundle + Sports and Movies, or the Ultimate Volt Bundle broadband and telly packages. All of these packages arrive with the latest Virgin Media TV 360 set-top box, dozens of paid-for channels, and speedy internet to stream from Netflix, Prime Video and more. Oh, and now they also come with an LG-designed 43-inch 4K Ultra HD television worth £369 for free too!
2/ Apple gadgets drop to record lows from Amazon UK
Apple products are renowned for their stylish designs, ease of use …and expensive price tags compared to the closest competition. Thankfully, Amazon has levelled the playing field with its latest Black Friday sale. The second-generation AirPods, which would've set you back £159 when bought from the Apple Store most of the last year, have now dropped to a ludicrous £99. For those who want the best 'buds that Apple currently sells, there's also the noise-cancelling AirPods Pro on sale with these music makers now just £185 – that's a £54 saving compared to what you'll need to pay at your local Apple Store.
4/ Get an Amazon Echo Dot or Fire TV for under £5
If you're looking to buy some of Amazon's most popular gadgets, there are some amazing Black Friday discounts available. Amazon has slashed £21 off the cost of its third-generation Echo Dot, plunging the price from £39.99 to £18.99. Meanwhile, the Fire TV with Alexa Voice Remote has crashed from £39.99 down to £19.99. Those are already some stellar discounts …but there's a sneaky Black Friday hack to take even more money off that price tag. Yes, really. When all is said and done, you'll walk away with either a brand-new Echo Dot for £3.99 or a Fire TV Stick to stream Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more for £4.99. It's all thanks to popular cashback website, TopCashback, which has a Black Friday of its own.
Here's how the nifty trick works… TopCashback operates all-year and offers cash incentives to shop through its website. TopCashback receives a small commission for directing its readers to thousands of retail websites that it has partnered with, but instead of keeping that cash, TopCashback will pass on "100 percent" of its commission to you. This is where the cashback comes from.
For Black Friday, TopCashback has secured a bumper deal with Amazon UK that offers more cashback on Echo and Fire TV devices, as well as Kindle eReaders and Amazon Fire tablets. A representative for the website confirmed to Express.co.uk that all new TopCashback members will receive a one-off £15 reward when buying any of the Fire TV Stick, Amazon Echo, Kindle or Fire tablet deals currently available in Amazon's early Black Friday bonanza. To qualify for the bumper cashback, you'll need to spend a minimum of £15.
For example, the Echo Dot costs £18.99 and you'll get £15 transferred straight back from TopCashback – meaning you'll be able to bag this clever smart speaker for £3.99. That's the lowest we've ever seen. And it's a deal that's unlikely to ever be beaten, to be honest.
5/ Sky Q is still at its 'best ever price'
If you've been considering upgrading your television viewing with the award-winning Sky Q box, there's never been a better time. This Black Friday has seen Sky Q crash to its "best ever price" – down to just £32 a month. For that, you'll get the Sky Q hardware and Sky's Superfast Broadband plan, which includes average download speeds of 59Mbps. There's also a landline included too.
Bundled with the package are over 200 free channels to watch. And you'll be able to take advantage of all of the best features of the Sky Q box, which lets you pause and rewind live television, can record up to 6 shows simultaneously, and boasts built-in apps for the biggest streaming services, from Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, and coming soon, Apple TV+. Sky will recommend boxsets and movies from these services based on your viewing habits – so you'll always be ahead of the next must-binge series! During the checkout process, Sky lets you add a number of extras to this bundle, including its exclusive Sky Atlantic channel, which is where you'll find the most talked-about US dramas, like Succession, Mare Of Easttown, The Undoing, Little Big Lies, and the upcoming Game Of Thrones prequel series and Sex And The City continuation.

Sanofi, GSK, request FDA authorization for traditional, protein-based Covid vaccine
Americans may soon have another Covid vaccine option hitting the market, and it is a more conventional shot people may be more familiar with.
Pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, based in France, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), based in the UK, have submitted a joint-application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for authorization for a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot.
The shot is a protein-based vaccine, making it similar to the flu shot and other vaccines Americans have received in their youth.
Clinical trials showed promise for the jab as well, showing nearly 60 percent effectiveness at preventing symptomatic Covid infection and 100 percent effectiveness against hospitalization or death caused by the virus.
Like Novavax – which is also seeking authorization for a protein-based vaccine from the FDA – GSK and Sanofi are arriving late to the market after facing issues during the lead up to application, but could be big players in the future rollout of annual Covid boosters.
After delays due to human errors early in trials, GSK and Sanofi have finally applied for FDA authorization for their protein-based COVID-19 vaccine. It is a two-dose shot, and the companies are planning a booster as well (file photo)
The shot showed great effectiveness in clinical trials, showing 100% effectiveness to prevent hospitalization or death from the virus. The booster was very effective as well, increasing antibody levels of mRNA vaccine recipients by up to 30-fold
'The evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 demonstrates the need for a variety of vaccines,' Roger Connor, president of GSK said in a statement.
'…We are confident that this vaccine can play an important role as we continue to address this pandemic and prepare for the post-pandemic period.'
Differences between mRNA and protein vaccines
mRNA vaccines were made popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna both rolled out two-dose shots
The vaccines deliver the body materials to create its own virus spike protein. The immune system then destroys this protein and creates virus antibodies
mRNA shots are easier to develop and cheaper to make, but they are more expensive to transport
Protein based vaccines are the standard for many in America, and the 16 shots scheduled in the U.S. for people before they turn 18 are all protein shots
The shots are more durable, more resistant to future variants and are easier to store and transport
The shots work by exposing a person to dead virus proteins, generating antibodies when the immune system destroys it
The companies submitted Phase 3 trial data to the FDA, and say they plan to release full trial results to the public by the end of the year.
During the trial, the vaccine was found to be 57.9 percent effective against symptomatic Covid infection. This is standard across the available vaccines during the current Omicron-fueled surge.
Where the vaccine really impressed was its ability to prevent the worst possible outcomes from the virus.
Participants who received two-doses of the vaccine were 75 percent less likely to suffer a severe Covid infection than their peers. None of the study members who received the jab required hospitalization or died as a result of Covid infection.
The booster shot was also found to be effective when paired with popular mRNA vaccines, like the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna jabs.
Sanofi and GSK report that receiving their booster after receiving a two-dose regimen of an mRNA jab could boost antibody levels 18 to 30-fold.
'We're very pleased with these data, which confirm our strong science and the benefits of our COVID-19 vaccine,' Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president of Sanofi, said in a statement.
'…No other global Phase 3 efficacy study has been undertaken during this period with so many variants of concern, including Omicron, and these efficacy data are similar to the recent clinical data from authorized vaccines.'
Human error early on in the trial process of the vaccine set the companies back by a few months, as scientists conducting the trial mistakenly administered incorrect doses.
The entire process had to be restarted as a result, allowing the two pharma giants to be outraced by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
Coincidentally enough, Novavax, which is also rolling out a protein based vaccine that will directly compete against this one, also faced many setbacks over the past year and could not submit data for FDA authorization until recently either.
Health experts are excited about the prospect of a protein based vaccine, though.
While mRNA jabs are easier to develop and cheaper to manufacture, they come with some downsides as well.
The virus can easier mutate to evade protection provided by the vaccines – like what occurred with the Omicron variant – and the shots must also be stored in extremely cold temperatures, making it expensive and resource intensive to ship the shots around the world.
Protein based shots are believed to be more resilient to mutations and can be stored with standard refrigeration.
Efficacy is also expected to last longer from these shots, making the need for frequent boosters less likely.
Americans are more familiar with these shots as well, which could help quell some remaining vaccine hesitancy in the population.
'Many people are reluctant to be immunized. They're called anti-vaxxers in the press, but I think a lot of that 20 percent [of unvaccinated Americans] are people who have fully immunized themselves and their children against [other viral diseases]. They're just a little nervous about the mRNA vaccine,' Dr Cody Meissner, a top FDA advisor and chief of pediatrics at Tufts Children's Hospital told DailyMail.com.
'They may be more willing to immunize with a more standard protein vaccine.'

Q: Upload Multiple Image using multiple file control in asp.net mvc 4.0 (angular js) I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express with Framework 4.5 MVC.
I am also using Angular Js for the first time.
I have a view page that contains the multiple browse (file) button that will be use for upload single image by selecting each of them individually with my form data.

The problem is that by using submit button I am not able to get the images but  I got the form data.
I want to get the images with the form data using Angular js.
I have already referred below posts but not getting the solution:
LINK 1
LINK 2
Please anyone help me to solve out this problem, would be appreciated.

A: I have a sample code for the uploading of multiple image using angularjs.
This link might help you: https://jsfiddle.net/n9tL7cdr/1/

            {{i}}

                <input type="file" name="file" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().photoChanged(this.files)" />

CONTROLLER:
angular.module('test', []);
angular.module('test').controller('UploadCtrl', function ($scope, $timeout) {
// Variable for image.
$scope.image = {
    dataUrl: []
};

$scope.fileReaderSupported = window.FileReader != null;
$scope.photoChanged = function (files, index) {
    if (files != null) {
        var file = files[0];
        var index = this.$index; // index of image.
        if ($scope.fileReaderSupported && file.type.indexOf('image') > -1) {
            $timeout(function () {
                var fileReader = new FileReader();
                fileReader.readAsDataURL(file);
                fileReader.onload = function (e) {
                    $timeout(function () {
                        $scope.image[index] = {dataUrl: e.target.result}; // Retrieve the image.
                    });
                }
            });
        }
    }
};
});

A: Here i find the solution using HttpPostedFileBase and Form Collection.
     public ActionResult AddImageUpload(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> files,FormCollection fc )
        {
            ImageUpload IU = new ImageUpload();

            IU.CategoryId = Convert.ToInt32((fc["CategoryId"]).Replace("number:", ""));
            string tr = fc["hdnSub"].ToString();
            string result = null;
            string Message, fileName, actualFileName;
            Message = fileName = actualFileName = string.Empty;
            bool flag = false;
            //HttpPostedFileBase f= IU.ImageP;
            string[] SubAssemblyId = (tr.Split(','));
            int i = 0;
            string databaseid = null;
            for (int j=0 ; j<files.Count(); j++)
            {

                var fileContent = Request.Files[j];
                if (fileContent.FileName != "")
                {
                    databaseid = SubAssemblyId[i];
                    string fn = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().Replace("/", "") + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Hours + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Minutes + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Seconds + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Milliseconds + Path.GetExtension(fileContent.FileName);

Gov. Justice pledges $1 million to encourage participation in 2020 United States Census
CHARLESTON, WV – Today, Gov. Jim Justice held a press conference to announce that he has committed $1 million from his Governor's Contingency Fund to support ongoing efforts to encourage all West Virginians to participate in the 2020 United States Census.
"We have got to make sure that every single one of us is counted," Gov. Justice said. "That's all there is to it."
Officials with the United States Census Bureau's Regional Office in Philadelphia, including Assistant Regional Census Manager Timothy Maddaloni and Partnership Coordinator Ronald Brown, joined Gov. Justice for the announcement, which was held in the Governor's Reception Room at the State Capitol.

A complete and accurate count of West Virginia's population is vital to the State, because it will determine the amount of federal grant funding the State can receive for things like education, health care, roads, veteran's services, disaster relief, and more.
The count also determines the number of representatives in the United States House of Representatives apportioned to West Virginia for the next 10 years.
Despite the Census' importance, it is estimated that only 74 percent of West Virginians responded in 2010.
"We have absolutely left tens and tens of millions of dollars on the table for years," Gov. Justice said. "I want [U.S. Commerce] Secretary Ross and everyone, in every state, to know that West Virginia takes this tremendously seriously and I want them to say that West Virginia is leading the way."
"West Virginia is absolutely committed to making sure all of our people are counted," Gov. Justice said. "And this Census is tremendously important for our nation and for our state."
In October, Gov. Justice issued an Executive Order establishing the West Virginia Complete Count Commission to educate and encourage full participation by the citizens of West Virginia in the 2020 Census and to develop plans and strategies to reach isolated groups or areas that typically do not respond to the Census.
Gov. Justice also announced today that the Complete Count Commission will hold its next official meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 10 a.m. The meeting will be held at the West Virginia Department of Commerce, located in Building 3 of the Capitol Complex.
The Governor also mentioned that thousands of part-time jobs are available, through the U.S. Census, to help make sure everyone is counted.
"There are jobs available that will pay real, live money and you'll be doing something that's so meaningful to the state it's off the chart," Gov. Justice said. "There is only one side to this coin and it's an upside.
"There's nothing but positive goodness that's coming out of this. But we've got to get you counted."


Atarax is a mild tranquilizing drug that has a soothing, antihistamine, anti-anxiety and antiemetic effect. Due to its properties, Atarax also has a positive effect on the duration of sleep and the reduction of sleep interruptions during the night, without causing mental or physical dependence.
In what situations is Atarax used?
Also Atarax can be recommended in the complex therapy of alcoholism (relieves the symptoms of withdrawal symptoms).
Are there any contraindications to taking Atarax?
Therapy with the drug is contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to any component included in its composition. Do not take Atarax patients with porphyria.
Is Atarax permitted during pregnancy and lactation?
The drug is able to penetrate the placental barrier and accumulate in the tissues of the fetus, having a toxic effect (there may be violations of the central nervous system and hypotension). Therefore, the drug is prohibited during pregnancy.
If there is a high need for Atarax during lactation, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding.
Can I take Atarax with other medications?
With the simultaneous administration of the drug together with substances that have holinoliticheskoy activity or suppress the functions of the central nervous system (here you can also include alcohol), you need to adjust the treatment regimen. This is due to the fact that the action of Atarax with this combination is enhanced.
It is also not recommended to take monoamine oxidase inhibitors during treatment. In addition, Atarax can reduce the activity of some anticonvulsant drugs and adrenaline.
Any other medications that the patient is going to take during treatment with Atarax (Hydroxyzine) should be reported to the doctor. This will help assess the risks and feasibility of simultaneous admission.
Can I buy Atarax without a doctor's prescription?
Atarax can be bought at a pharmacy or ordered on the Internet without a doctor's prescription.


Having your camera or even your phone out at the right time is a rare and exciting moment, for me at least.
This mom definitely must have anticipated this moment because she got the whole thing perfectly documented for our enjoyment.
I'm glad it wasn't a huge bear that decided to intrude on her family's living space the way that one did under some guy's deck… That would be too scary to record, if you ask me.
And although this raccoon riding a scooter may seem cute, if I found him in my baby's swing, I would FLIP out and probably move out with my baby in tow… They just aren't my cup of tea.
Apparently though, this isn't the first time that this mom finds something other than her baby in her swing. She doesn't seem very fazed by it.
When she zooms in, see it and you can be the judge of whether you'd allow this to happen more than once! Personally, I think it's adorable… But still would be a surprise, don't you think?
I think Oliver is even even less fazed than his mom.
