At long last, the internet has been united in its outrage over one issue. Sure, the issue may not have anything to do with immigration, or the economy, or any of the other deeply important issues it would be lovely if we got to unite on. No, the outrage came from the Academy Awards, and their introduction of a category of "outstanding achievement in popular film". Huh.
And um. Huh. Okay. Um.
As usual, the Academy is trying to solve problems by creating new problems. Popular films get nominated for Oscars every single year, and often the top-grossing film of the year wins the top prizes. This change condescends to both art-house filmmakers and blockbuster filmmakers.
So, the Academy Awards have, since say– the era when E.T. could have slid in easily into the Best Picture category, often ignored the kinds of movies pushed forward by studios. This is for a very simple reason: those movies tend not to be made with an artistic goal in mind, as much as a financial one. They're there to make the studio money.
Sometimes the needs intersect — Lord of the Rings swept the Academy Awards in nominations and eventually in wins in the three years the trilogy was released — but usually in 2018 the grand blockbuster represents a financial agreement. (Iron Man 2, the first two Thor movies, splitting Harry Potter's seventh book into two movies– they all represent studios making a financial agreement in franchise upkeep rather than people going for the artistic representation of film).
Sure, The Dark Knight, Wonder Woman and Logan were excellent movies that were snubbed for Best Picture, but so many movies I love were snubbed for Best Picture — Where the Wild Things Are, The Triplets of Belleville — Guillermo Del Toro just now won Best Director!? Movies get snubbed all the time, and I'm more concerned that a movie like "Sorry to Bother You" won't get the nomination over "Avengers: Infinity War".
These movies can and should be nominated for their merits (and were — The Dark Knight won for Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker, Logan received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay). But the term popular seems to mean a very specific thing.
Would "Get Out" be nominated in this category? It's an artistic feat, and won for Best Original Screenplay. It's ridiculously popular in terms of discussion– more so than the blockbusters that were released this year — but would it be defined as a 'popular movie'?
The term popular movie seems both condescending and cynical. It's a reference to a blockbuster that is meant to grab a massive audience. Rewarding that kind of financial upkeep seems… condescending. To everyone. Any movie that beats it will know that its a masterpiece in a financial bracket where Michael Bay comfortably makes upteenth Transformers sequels. And frankly Black Panther, the rare blockbuster that could comfortably be nominated for "Best Picture" without anyone batting an eye, deserves better than a condescending win.
Also, as many on Twitter point out uhh… does this mean, the movies that actually win are unpopular?
Still, it's understandable why the Academy Awards are doing this, as the telecast has often been written as not retaining viewers due to the lack of popular movies for the viewers to root for. One could hope that viewers could come out to support the artistry of film, the power of a cultural moment or an actor, but… then they'd have to see them.
Unfortunately, in 2018 it seems that blockbuster are the movies that the public talks about at large.
Gone is the age where something as mainstream like 'The Simpsons' can reference an art movie with ease, or Animaniacs can do an entire segment based on 'The Goodfellas'. We're not really in the age of a culture where the majority celebrates its adult movies on the most basic level of mainstream acceptance. A part of the mainstream movie discussion is of people analyzing just how faithful the Venom trailer is to the comic book from 30 years ago — a conversation seemingly aimed at an ever shrinking audience of comic book purists.
As much as we mock the category, in order to make a meaningful change to it, we would have to become a culture that watches and celebrates movies on a grand scale. That audience moved to television of course. Where once The Godfather, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction and countless others dominated the acting imagination, so now comes Atlanta, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Girls, and so so so so so many more.
The artistic discussion has moved to television. But why is that? The popular conversation has pointed to the comfort of streaming services, but given the popularity of MoviePass, another theory should be discussed.
Maybe movie theaters are too expensive for a casual experience in 2018.
Anyway, I don't know why this category is necessary. It's an award for how much money a movie made rather than its quality, and it seems to take away what makes the Oscars so special by making it more like the ever popularity awards MTV awards.
Anyway remember when Monsters Inc. lost to Shrek in 2002? The Academy Awards never needed an excuse to reward the much more popular thing.
Also… All this to get away with not giving Black Panther the Best Picture Award, huh?
Anyway, here is the video that would have played if Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius won Best Animated Feature in 2002.
What do you think though? Is this category actually good and not deeply stupid? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.

Why you should not miss first BRICS Film Festival in Delhi
The Bengali film Cinemawaala – which won the UNESCO-Fellini Award at International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2015 in Goa and the National Award winning Kannada film Thithi will represent aesthetically elevated film making in our country.
The first BRICS Film Festival opens at Siri Fort multiplex in the city on September 2 and will go on till September 6. The five-day film gala will screen four films each from the participating nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
MODI'S BRAINCHILD
Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor will be the special guest at the opening ceremony, while Minister of State for Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Minister of State of External Affairs VK Singh are expected to grace the occasion.
"The festival is a brainchild of Prime Minister Narendra Modiji. The idea came to him during his visit to Russia. India is set to host the BRICS summit later this year, and a number of cultural events will be hosted to mark the occasion. The film festival is one such," said C. Senthil Rajan, Director, Directorate of Film Festivals.
FILMS TO BE SCREENED
At a press interaction on Thursday, Rajan introduced the cast of Veeram – the opening film of the festival. The film is directed by National Award-winner Jayaraj and stars Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor. Veeram is Jayaraj's interpretation of Macbeth and the film – a trilingual in Malayalam, Hindi and English – redefines William Shakespeare's immortal play using the ancient martial art of Kerala, Kalaripayattu. "It was mentally and physically a challenge to shoot this film for long hours, but the outcome was rewarding," said Kapoor.

Home / Free Resources / Collective Risk Project
The 2021 version of the Collective Risk Model (CRM) is a community driven project. It is the result of numerous conversations between cybersecurity professionals over video conferences, dinners, in the hallways of security conferences, and over countless email exchanges. This is the first official and formal release of a simple, practical model that the community can use as a model for managing cybersecurity risks.
Scott Adams, of Dilbert™ fame, warns – never be the creator, always be the criticizer. Creators open themselves up to attack and criticism. It is better, he says, to show your moral and intellectual superiority through criticizing someone else's work than to create something yourself. With this project, we are violating that principle by organizing those conversations, cocktail napkins diagrams, and email exchanges into a repository for the community.
This effort is a work in progress. We believe that the 2021 version will be soon replaced with a more valuable version, along with future updates and improvements cycle that will follow. The community needs a risk model with straight forward language and a readily accessible roadmap to begin managing cybersecurity risks. We hope this is a starting point in that direction.

I'm currently struggling with a DX60 config and looking for a howto to set up a DX60 S3.
- DX60 S3 with two controllers.
1.)iscsi name: same for all ports? I configured different names.
2 Port group: all four ports in one group?
Only have one portal IP address in iSCSI Initiator in Server 2012R2. Get an error for MPIO if I choose Round Robin and accept settings.
Maybe later a second host server should get access to the storage. So should I use all 4 ports now for host1 and reconfigure ports later or is it better to use only 1port on each controller, so second server can easy be added later.
Searched a lot in the web, but documentation is really spare.
This topic required direct contact with Fujitsu support.

"A Simulation Based Optimal Control System For Water Resources" by Asier Lacasta, Mario Morales-Hernández et al.
Nowadays, the increasing demand of water resources has become one of the most relevant issues when water supply must be guaranteed as in the case of irrigation comunities. It becomes difficult to provide the predictive optimal behavior of regulation structures when the regime of the flow is changing in time and, moreover, when this regulation modifies the hydraulic conditions of the structure. One of the most widely used solution for control is PID. The disadvantages of PID control are the difficulties in the presence of non-linearities as well as the PID parameters tuning. Taking into account previous works about sluice gate formulation and its hydraulics, an equivalent formulation is going to be applied to obtain the control signal for the gate. This will make possible to build a system that allows the optimal control of the gate in order to obtain, for instance, a desired volume of water in the least time possible with the minimum water loss. In this work, a reformulation of the problem is analyzed and then, an equivalent the control is applied to sluice gate flow to obtain a simulation based control system and a near real-time solution is explored using adjoint variable formulation.

Sheepskin boot giant Ugg has opened its first standalone store selling men's product only.
The 800 sq ft store on New York's Maddison Avenue is the brand's first dedicated solely to men's footwear and is connected to its existing women's and kid's store.
The store's design was inspired by aviation, and a large aeroplane wing structure covers the ceiling.
To celebrate the opening the high-end Ugg Collection sub-brand was flown in early from Italy, where it is made.
Ugg's next store in the US will open in New York's Meatpacking District in October.
Ugg recently told Drapers that it is still committed to its wholesale business in the UK, despite having axed several high-profile wholesales stockists, including ASOS, Cloggs and USC for autumn 12.
Sheepskin boot brand Mou is aiming to double its number of UK stockists, capitalising on Ugg having recently axed several of its key wholesale accounts.
Ugg Australia has said it remains committed to the future of its wholesale business despite axing several key accounts for autumn 12.
Cloggs managing director Damian Scarlett has spoken out for the first time about the etailer's plans following the decision by Ugg Australia to end its relationship with a number of national accounts.
Young fashion chain USC is the latest retailer to be cut from Ugg Australia's distribution, as part of the footwear brand's repositioning.
Ugg Australia has ended its relationship with at least four national accounts, as part of moves to tighten distribution and reposition as a more premium brand.
Sheepskin boot brand Ugg Australia is to open a flagship store in the UK in London's Knightsbridge in November.

Player's Network Retains Veteran Media Expert Andrew Orgel To Head Up The Launch of WeedTV

Company begins evolution of website to cannabis lifestyle media platform; Starts to assemble its senior management team
LAS VEGAS, NV–PNTV, (Marketwired – Aug 8, 2017) – Player's Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), the diversified company operating in the media and marijuana sectors, today announced that media and entertainment veteran Andrew Orgel has been retained as consultant and advisor to PNTV in the development and launch of "weedTV," The Cannabis Network. weedTV seeks to be the business-to-business leader and dominant consumer "network" in the lifestyle sector.
Orgel will be responsible for overseeing the strategic development of the brand, in the areas of sales, marketing, content strategy and staffing. He will bring on a creative media and entertainment team to help build weedTV as a highly-differentiated media-centric cannabis brand.
PNTV CEO Mark Bradley commented, "Andy is truly a media pioneer and one of the few industry leaders with a background and successful track record in the development and launch of some of the most powerful global entertainment networks. His experience and expertise includes the inception of some of the most iconic – and disruptive – media businesses, when other industry leaders determined those concepts to be unconventional and too risky. Our goal is to create the newest lifestyle channel to accomplish for cannabis what Andy helped those networks do their respective categories. We are thrilled to include Andy on our team."
Orgel was an original, start-up executive at MTV, A&E, Nickelodeon and The Movie Channel, among others.

Its goal is to help global citizens live better lives, and within a better world.
"It was through QOL that I learned about the healing benefits of medical cannabis in saving lives, especially children and the elderly. I intend to balance weedTV's recreational side with that of critically important alternative health and wellness options," Orgel said.
He continued, "Just as he did with the gaming entertainment lifestyle, Mark has identified the hottest category for the next decade. He is exploiting the most powerful consumer trend, to reach a massive global marketplace with audiences that are demanding information, news and entertainment from within the sector."
Bradley and his dedicated team have just completed a 2-year development phase. That team includes Michael Berk, highly-regarded Hollywood screenwriter and executive producer; co-creator, executive producer, writer and director of Baywatch, over 20 high-profile films and television series and the Chief Creative Officer of weedTV's; and Tony Caporicci, senior software programmer, developer of advanced technology platforms and networks for the gaming and hospitality industry for over 25 years and the lead architect and technologist for the weedTV's platform.

What causes discouragement? (1)
"The strength of the laborers is giving out."
Ne 4:10 NIV
The story of Nehemiah highlights four major sources of discouragement. Let's look at the first of them: Fatigue. The people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out." In other words, they'd worked themselves to exhaustion. They were worn out physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that discouragement is strictly a spiritual problem. We say, "Maybe I need to recommit my life to God," when in fact the real problem is we're burned out. We need rest and renewal. Indeed, sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is relax, or go to bed, or take some time off. When do fatigue and discouragement surface? Look at verse six: "So we rebuilt the wall until all of it reached half of its height." Do you know when you're most apt to get discouraged? When you're halfway into a project! Everybody works hard at first. The Bible says the people "worked with all their heart" (v. 6 NIV). Why? Because of the newness of the project. It was exciting and novel, but after a while the newness wore off and the work got boring. Life settled into a routine, then a rut, then a ritual. Be careful: When fatigue walks in, faith walks out! That's why the Psalmist said, "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul" (Ps 23:2-3 NIV). Fatigue is one of the biggest causes of discouragement, and it often shows up about midpoint. It's why we leave so many projects unfinished. Bottom line: If you need time off, take it!
Today God is with you
Live for what matters!
You're commanded to love
"Choice morsels"
Are you successful but unfulfilled?

Afrikaanse musiek weerspieël die diversiteit van die Afrikaner: Sedert die tagtigerjare was daar nie alleen tradisionele Boeremusiek benewens populêre musiek (soos veral vervat in die Huisgenoot Skouspel) nie, maar ook alternatiewe strome. Waar populêre musiek (byvoorbeeld Bles Bridges, Cora Marie, Janita Claassen, Rina Hugo en Carike Keuzenkamp hulself toegespits het op die vermaaklikheidsaspek van musiek, het alternatiewe kunstenaars (byvoorbeeld Piet Botha, Bernoldus Niemand, Koos Kombuis en Johannes Kerkorrel) sosiale kommentaar gelewer op Apartheid en Afrikaneridentiteit. Belangrik in voor-1994 Afrikaanse musiek is ook kunstenaars soos Laurika Rauch, Anton Goosen, Coenie de Villiers, Lucas Maree en Koos du Plessis wat hulself beywer het vir die skryf van kwaliteit musiek en lirieke, alhoewel hulle selde direkte sosiale kommentaar gelewer het.
Ná 1994 is die Afrikaner se herontdekking van sy identiteit in sy musiek weerspieël. Die musikante van Voëlvry het meer inwaarts gekeer, groepe soos Battery9 is gestig wat Afrikaans in nuwe genres gebruik het, en Afrikaans het selfs sy eerste heavy metal-liedjie, Voice of Destruction se "J.M.S.P.", gekry (1995). Sedert 2000 het Afrikaanse musiek 'n oplewing ondervind: Groepe soos Fokofpolisiekar, K.O.B.U.S!, Insek, Straatligkinders, Jack Parow, Brasse van die Kaap en Die Antwoord het Afrikaans in 'n groter verskeidenheid musiekgenres aangewend en daardeur aangetoon dat Afrikaans 'n lewendige en nie eendimensionele taal is nie. Vertalings is ook gebruik om die interkulturele gesprek met veral Europa na die isolasie van Apartheid te hervat: Hier kan veral die Afri-Frans, Afri-Spaans en Brel-projekte genoem word.
Die anti-apartheid protesmusiek van Voëlvry is ook opgevolg met nuwe protesmusiek teen die establishment: Koos Kombuis het na 'n paar verspreide protesliedjies sy "Bloedrivier" album in 2008 vrygestel, en groepe soos Glaskas, Klopjag, Fokofpolisiekar en natuurlik Bok van Blerk het begin om protesliedjies te skryf teen wat gesien word as 'n marginalisering van die Afrikaner, asook die heersende misdaadklimaat.
Jacobus (Koos) Johannes du Plessis (10 May 1945 – 15 January 1984) was a prominent South Africansinger-songwriter and poet, colloquially known as Koos Doep. Although he received critical acclaim for much of his work, he became best known for the runaway success of a rendition of his song Kinders van die Wind (Children of the Wind) by Laurika Rauch.
Koos du Plessis was born in Rustenburg. He was the youngest of four children, and grew up in the mining town of Springs. After school, he attended the University of Pretoria, and the University of the Witwatersrand, majoring in Afrikaans-Nederlands (Afrikaans-Dutch). At university he met his future wife, Mornay. The couple had three daughters, Irma, Karien and Karla. Koos would eventually write a song for each of these four women in his life.
Koos worked as journalist and editor for several Afrikaans publications (Oggendblad, Die Vaderland, Die Nataller en Die Transvaler). He died in a car accident close to Krugersdorp during the early morning hours of 15 January 1984.
In 2010 two albums were released in The Netherlands. First Ofschaaid Zunder Woorden, an album with songs of Du Plessis sung in Grunnegs by Wia Buze and Klaas Spekken. Karla du Plessis joins for a special duet on this album. Secondly Die Land Van Blou Saffiere is released in the Tussen Kontinente-series. This release is a hardcover book with a biography, lyrics with footnotes and explanations, backgrounds and a cd with 20 of his songs.
Karin Kortje (born 12 August 1980) is the winner of the third season of Idols in South Africa. With her in the final was Gift Gwe.
After winning Idols, Karin moved to Johannesburg to record her debut album "Forever And A Day". Karin wanted the songs to have an inspirational message. The album was recorded and released on 11 November 2006! The debut single was "I am so ready". It was released in CD format with two bonus tracks "Ordinary People" & "Joy To The World". The album received gold status, selling more than 20 000 copies.
Karin met former South Africa President, Nelson Mandela shortly after winning Idols. In 2006 Karin won the You Magazine You Spectacular award for "News Maker Of The Year". Karin graced the covers of several magazines including Sarie, Huisgenoot and You Magazines. Karin then took a break from the lime light.
Karin got married to Shaundore Aspeling on 29 August 2009 in her hometown Grabouw. Gift Gwe, runner–up in Idols Season 3, performed for her on her wedding day. She has 3 sons: Cameron, Tobin & Sergio.
In 2009, Karin teamed with new management. She released a brand new single "Love In The First Degree" without a recording deal. The song was no 1 on both Goodhope Fm & Heart 104.9 fm's SA TOP 10 Charts. The song stayed no 1 for a couple of weeks. It was also featured on DJ Keiths album!
In 2011 Karin played in the musical "This Is My Life" telling her life story, before, during and after Idols, with Idols Winner, Season 4, Jody Williams. The show ran for a second season. This time featuring Karin and Emo Adams's older brother Loukmaan Adams.
He released his first album in 1982, Onbekende Weermagman (Unknown Soldier). His professional career began in 1984, with the release of his second album, Bles, which went gold in under a month (25,000 copies) and included Maggie, one of his better-known songs. The album had sold twice that by the time his third album was released. At the time of his death, Bles had sold more than two and a half million albums (records and CDs).
Soon Bles Bridges began alternating between Afrikaans and English language albums, to great acclaim. He also began working with Eurovision South Africa. In 2000, he began recording an album with his friends in the music industry. The first song - a duet with Patricia Lewis (and his last song as it turned out, as he died within a week of finishing it) - was "The First Kiss Goodnight" by Dennis East; it was recorded on 21 March 2000.
In the 1980s, he held a concert in support of the AWB Volkshulpskema (People's Help Scheme) that raised 10,000 Rand (he was there as an artist, and by personal belief).
He had cancer during the 1980s and gave generously to charity for cancer research after his recovery.
Leonie was his sound engineer and the composer and/or songwriter of most of his songs, including most of his biggest hits, including "Maggie" and "I am the Eagle, you're the Wind", among others.
His career highlight was when he performed to a soldout "Superbowl" at Sun City, five times on one weekend, becoming the first and only artist to do so, as feature artist on 14 and 15 May 1987. He actually managed to draw a bigger crowd than Frank Sinatra did when he opened the Superbowl in 1982.
Bles died in a motorcar accident on 24 March 2000, leaving behind his wife, Leonie, and children Sunette and Victor. More than 15,000 mourners turned up for his funeral.

Anton Goosen (born 5 March, 1946)is a South African musician and songwriter. He became a pivotal figure in Afrikaans music and is generally regarded as the father of Afrikaans Rock. His influence was not, however, limited to genre. His contribution to the music industry was much more profound as he led a continuous protest against the status quo in his music.

in Johannesburg. She began vocal studies in South Africa in 1949.In July 1953 she married the broadcaster and composer Dawid Engela. She left South Africa in September 1953 for London, and then went via The Hague to Vienna. In January 1954 she started training with Maria Hittorff and Josef Witt.

Since returning to South Africa in 1973 she has been a regular guest on South African stages and also a frequent broadcaster on radio and television. In recent years she has devoted her time to exposing young South African singers to the neglected art of Lieder singing which can be artistically even more demanding than opera singing. Her support for her fellow South African musicians has been outstanding - as may be witnessed in her Debut with Mimi and through the Mimi Coertse Bursary.
In 1998 Mimi Coertse and Neels Hansen founded The Black Tie Ensemble, a development project which enables young, classically trained singers to bridge the gap between training and professional performance. This project has developed into the most exciting classical singing ensemble in South Africa, and is now on the brink of becoming a vibrant, new, young opera company. A project for future stars of Africa! The Ensemble, sponsored by Sappi, performs operas at the State Theatre (Pretoria), Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens (Johannesburg) and the Civic Theatre (Johannesburg).

When I started recording last year it was discovered that I have nodules on my vocal cords and I had to do less shows, talk less (which was very difficult) and also change my way of speaking, laughing and of course singing. I am very grateful that that is now something of the past . . . We worked on the album for ten months and each one of the songs has a special meaning to me."
Nádine has recorded a number of hit songs, including "Dankie liewe Ouma", "Hoor hoe klop my hart", "Kom dans met my", "Latina", "'n Meisiekind wil ek graag bly", "Die Hemel Brand", "Alweer Iemand Anders", "Afrika Spore" and "Vive la Vida".

LITTLE JACK DECLARED FOR CATTERICK.
At Wolverhampton 17 days ago Little Jack made his stable and flat debut, but as has shown with both of his previous yards, he once again let his temperament get the better of him. He was reluctant to race and once consenting was already many lengths behind and facing an impossible task. He has been declared at Catterick on Monday at 4.05.pm, in a 12 furlongs novice stakes, where Aiden Brookes retains the ride.
LITTLE JACK. 14 May 2014. Malinas-Persian Forest Owner-Anthony Bithell.
Little Jack has raced out of two other yards, racing in two bumpers, and nine hurdle races, before recently joining us at Oakwood Stables. His dam only raced on three occasions back in 2011, showing nothing, but as a broodmare she has produced three racecourse representatives to date, including the very exiting three times winner, and twice runner up, Restandbethankful, from his five starts. Little Jack's sire was the German Derby runner up back in 2004, and is a good source of national hunt horses, although he has a very poor strike rate with his representatives on the flat.
Little Jack made the perfect start to his career in the charge of the Warren Greatrex yard when comfortably winning a bumper first time out at Fontwell by 15 lengths in June 2018.He was given a break until November when he reappeared at Market Rasen under a penalty, to finish an eight lengths third. He made an inauspicious start to his hurdles career in January 2019, when after going to post early, he refused to race. 11 days later at Fontwell he did consent to race, but could only manage a seventh placing of the 12 runners, it was decided after that race that he required wind surgery.
Little Jack was back on the track within two months at Exeter, but trailed in 45 lengths behind the winner, but the vet did report that he finished the race lame. He was given a summer break and returned at Hereford in October, where after being mounted on the course, and led in at the start, he ran in snatches, and finished a 24 lengths fifth. Back at Hereford a month later, and on his handicap hurdles debut from a mark of 106, he finished third, 13 lengths off the winner, but he was staying on over an extended two miles and three furlongs.He was reluctant to line up at Huntingdon in December, and after being very slowly away, eventually pulled up, it was decided that he would need further wind surgery.
Little Jack didn't reappear until September 2020, where once again he showed a reluctance to race, but after consenting, ran his best race to date to finish a length and three quarters second, in a first time tongue tie, on good ground, from a mark of 106. After that race he was sold out of the Warren Greatrex yard, and under new ownership, joined the yard of Gary Hanmer where he raced twice. At Catterick in December he trailed in well beaten over the extended three miles and one furlong in soft ground, and when reappearing in May 2021 at Southwell he once again dug his heels in and refused to race.
Little Jack could have been sold for big money after his debut success in the bumper, but wind problems, and temperament have got the better of him. He obviously has more than his fare share of ability under the bonnet, and it will be interesting to see how things pan out.
Good luck to the connections, Anthony Bithell.

Vancouver police on Friday released new information on a gang shooting a year ago that killed two people, one of whom was an innocent teenager riding in his family's car.
Alfred Wong, 15, and his family were driving home near East Broadway and Ontario Street on Jan. 13, 2018, when gunfire rang out and he was hit by a stray bullet. He died in hospital.
Police believe Kevin Whiteside, 23, was in the area to kill the intended target 28-year-old Vancouver man Matthew Navas-Rivas, who was at the Indochine Kitchen and Bar restaurant with a woman.
As the two were leaving, someone other than Whiteside opened fire, and Whiteside was killed. Navas-Rivas was not hurt, but was later murdered in an unrelated incident on July 15.
Investigators said Friday they seized a red Pontiac Montana that was involved in the shooting, as well as video footage of a dark pickup truck turning into the crime scene at the time. Officers want whoever was inside the truck to contact them.
Anyone with information who has yet to speak with police is asked to contact detectives at 604-717-0515 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language) ist eine Modellbeschreibungssprache (ca. 1995), die von der Firma Altera zur Beschreibung von digitaler Hardware (dort: konfigurierbare IP-Blöcke names "MegaCore Functions" auf Altera FPGAs) entwickelt wurde.

AHDL ähnelt der Hardwarebeschreibungssprache VHDL, stellt jedoch ein paar zusätzliche, einfachere Möglichkeiten zur Spezifikation von Zustandsautomaten und Wahrheitstabellen zur Verfügung.

AHDL kommt bei der Benutzung der von Altera zur Verfügung gestellten (veralteten) Entwicklungstools Quartus II (Stand 2022: Intel Quartus Prime) zum Einsatz. Es ist damit möglich, das Verhalten von elektronischen Bauelementen und Modulen zu charakterisieren und diese mittels Simulatoren vorauszuberechnen, ohne sie real aufbauen zu müssen.

Eine Konversion von AHDL zu VHDL ist über das Xilinx Werkzeug "XPort" möglich.

Staunton's Chance Sheffey sets milestone in final college season
Patrick Hite
Chance Sheffey just finished up his college basketball career with the recent end of UVA Wise's season.
Sheffey, who played basketball for Robert E. Lee High School before transferring to the Miller School, was a senior for the Cavaliers this season.
"This year was kind of a struggle," Sheffey said about the team's season. "We had a lot of injuries and close losses that set us back. But I think we've grown in a lot of ways."
UVA Wise finished 6-22, but did get a win in its regular-season finale, beating Coker University 77-63 last Saturday. Sheffey had 13 points and five rebounds in the win.

He started 27 games this year and averaged the most minutes on the team with 34.5 per game. He averaged 10.5 points, 4.7 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. He had a season-high 25 points against Mars Hill this year.
In early February Sheffey passed 1,000 points for his college career. He finished his career with 1,080 points. He also had 311 assists in his career.
"For me, it wasn't really like a goal of mine," Sheffey said of 1,000 points. "I just wanted to play as hard as I can and get as many wins as I could get. This just came along with it. It's kind of a plus."

The first three years at Wise he was playing mostly shooting guard and small forward, but as a senior he moved to point guard, a position he played in high school. He had to get back into the pass-first mentality this season. It showed. He ended the season with 131 assists, 56 more than his previous season high last year.
He was worried about switching back to point after not playing it in college, but he just kept telling himself that he'd done it before and would be fine.
"I knew I could do it, I could handle it," Sheffey said. "I can pass good, but, obviously for three years not playing it, it was going to be an adjustment."
He finished third in the South Atlantic Conference in assists per game this season. UVA Wise just joined the SAC this past season.
Sheffey is hoping his basketball career isn't over yet. He is planning to get an agent and see what professional leagues have opportunities for him.
"I would definitely love to go to another country and continue playing basketball," he said. "Being paid to do what you love is the ultimate goal."
