The JOE-DOWN Reviews 'Mandy'
Welcome to the JOE-DOWN, a back-and-forth movie review blog by two snarky newspapermen named Joe from Minnesota, Joe Froemming and Joe Brown. We will take turns selecting a movie — any movie we want — and review it here. For this installment, Froemming picked "Mandy."
The info:
The Movie: "Mandy"
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache
Director: Panos Cosmatos
Plot Summary: (From IMDB) The enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen, propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal rampage of vengeance.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 91 percent
Our take:
Froemming: It's October, so you know what that means: Halloween Month here at the JOE-DOWN! Probably my favorite theme month because I am a (REDACTED) sucker for the horror movie genre.
And speaking of genre, my first pick feels like it is its own subgenre of horror, because frankly I have never seen a movie like it. I really can only describe "Mandy" as the love child of Pink Floyd's "Echoes," "Suspiria," a Yes album cover, Dio's "Holy Diver," Charles Manson and LSD.
A lot of LSD.
I had two friends urge me to see "Mandy" last year, and I put it off until around the time COVID hit and I decided to get a Shudder account, since I was stuck inside watching movies for the foreseeable future. One night I decided to finally watch this, thinking it was going to be another bonkers Nic Cage movie, like "The Wicker Man" or something.
It was, but not in the way I was expecting. In fact, Cage is the least bonkers element in this movie, which kinda broke my brain.
It was almost a religious experience for me, because like when I first saw "Eraserhead," I was gobsmacked by the experience.
Brown, why don't you give us your first thoughts while I laugh at the dork of a failed folk musician/cult leader who is trying to seduce me with his terrible folk music?
Brown: A lot of LSD, Froemming? Try ALL the LSD. And I say this as someone who's never taken drugs in his life.
I know this was taking place during Halloween Month (which always puts me on edge since I'm not as into scary movies as Froemming) but I was expecting something different. I blame that solely on the name Mandy being synonymous with Barry Manilow in my brain.
Now, I'll just think of Nic Cage, eyes bulging and caked in blood, hunting down reject Cenobites from "Hellraiser."
You're right, though: This is some kind of experience. So get into it, Froemming, while I try to find my Mötley Crue and Black Sabbath T-shirts.
Froemming: Well, before things kick off, we get some poem that reads like Judas Priest lyrics with King Crimson playing as the soundtrack:
When I died
Lay two speakers at my feet
Wrap some headphones
Around my head
And rock and roll me
When I'm dead
Which led me to dub this: "Nightmare Prog Rock: The Movie."
Brown: Turns out, that quote is attributed to Douglas Roberts, a murderer that was executed in Texas in 2005.
Froemming: Now, it is 1983 and we meet our two heroes. Red (Cage) who is a lumberjack who gets helicoptered in and out of his work like this is the Vietnam War or something. His wife is Mandy, who smokes and draws what looks like Dungeons and Dragons fan art.
And everything is bathed in super saturated reds and blues. I remember the world looking exactly like this in high school. Don't know what changed. But from 16-20, this is was what things looked like to me.
And they live, according to a title card, in the Shadow Mountains. Looks like the Pacific Northwest, and given the sleepy town of Twin Peaks is also in that area, the events of this movie adds up.
Brown: These people live in a Yes album cover painted by Roger Dean. When I saw that King Crimson was on the soundtrack, I texted Froemming "I don't think I'm ready to step into the court of the Crimson King." And, when I saw the setting was Shadow Mountain, I figured that was next door to Mastodon's Blood Mountain, which is a soundtrack that'd probably fit this movie as well.
In fact, this entire sequence is "Mandy" in a nutshell.
Froemming: The first part here is tough to do a play-by-play here, because it is a lot of surreal, dreamlike sequences that are visually stunning, and in no way prepares you for the last half of this movie. The old bait-and-switch.
But there are two things I want to bring up in this weird world or Red and Mandy:
One night while by a fire outside, Red sees Mandy in the lake and as she comes out, her right eyeball just becomes 90 percent black, which is jarring and never explained. And I love this visual.
One scene in bed, Mandy tells a story about how her dad one day came home with a pillowcase full of birds and showed his children how to bludgeon these things with a crowbar. My reaction: Holy (REDACTED)!
All the while, we get this weird synth score throughout that sounds like a cross between the music of "Stranger Things" and the kickass Goblin score for "Suspiria."
This movie inspired me to think about buying a van and painting a wizard on the side of it.
Brown: So you want to become Dr. Krieger from "Archer?"
I was mesmerized by the first 20 minutes or so of this movie. I've stated many times here on the JOE-DOWN that I'm a sucker for synth especially when it's done the way on this soundtrack, which I may need to buy. And the scenery early on is like a technicolor nightmare like in "Suspiria." That's why it bums me out later in the movie when, as shit hits the fan, the world gets a lot darker, figuratively and literally.
Because I thought of you right away, Froemming, as far as soundtracks go, you picking this or Goblin on "Suspiria?"
Froemming: Honestly I love them both for different reasons, but I enjoy the "Mandy" soundtrack more. It's cool and has a weird calming effect on me.
Brown: As for Red and Mandy, you're right. They're a loving couple to each other but they are definitely off. Hell, Cage's first spoken lines in this movie are a knock-knock joke about Erik Estrada from "CHiPs." That's the first of many times that I wrote in my notes: "That feels like a Nic Cage actor's choice."
And Mandy, she definitely gives off a lot of Shelly Duvall from "The Shining" vibes.
There's one scene where Mandy's wandering the woods and she finds something that's either a deer or Eraserhead's alien baby since this movie likes to wear its David Lynch love on it's sleeves. In the woods, looking down in the grass, I thought Mandy was going to find a severed ear and we'd be watching "Blue Velvet" all over again. I do think this movie could have been enhanced with Dennis Hopper yelling about Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Froemming: Our couple's idyllic world is about to come crashing down. One day, as Mandy is walking and smoking, because she needs a heater for every waking moment of her life, a van passes by filled with a religious cult. Children of the New Dawn is basically the Manson Family, if Charles Manson looked like 50 year old Robert Plant. Jeremiah Sand, our Hydrox Manson, catches a glimpse of Mandy as they drive by and becomes obsessed.
Also, the scene here is bathed in heavy red colors and looks like some photos I have seen of California this summer WHEN THE SKY WAS ON FIRE. I should have had "America Looks Like The World of 'Mandy'" on my 2020 Bingo Card.
Brown: When we're introduced to Jeremiah, he's screaming at one of his followers, complete with eye bulging and weird tonal shifts. I honestly thought he was going to out-Cage Nic Cage, who up to this point is rather subdued.
Boy, was I wrong.
Did you also catch that, when at the store where Mandy works and gets talked to by one of Jeremiah's followers, Mandy mentions she lives near Crystal Lake? I wonder how her neighbors feel about hockey masks.
Froemming: Given what comes later, I am guessing before moving next door to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Glenn Danzing was Red and Mandy's neighbor.
Brown: Anyways, Jeremiah desires Mandy so he has one of his disciples, Brother Swan, blow into a horn like he's assembling the Channel 4 news team from "Anchorman?"
Well, it's the Channel 4 news team from Hell because it's four guys who are one part Cenobite and one part David's dream monsters from "An American Werewolf in London."
We find out later that it's a group of bikers who got a real bad batch of LSD. I think we all experienced that batch while watching "Mandy."
Froemming: The Black Skulls must have gotten that brown acid at Woodstock.
Yeah, Brother Swan summons these things with a rock horn, which writing that makes me feel like I wrote a new song for King Crimson.
Red and Mandy are in bed when this cult and their biker gang descend upon them, trying up Red with barbed wire and Mandy is taken to what looks like every kitchen I ever saw growing up in the 1980s. Here, two cult members force some LSD into her eyeball and then grab some weird bug from a mason jar, which they sting her with.
I wonder how many stoners watched this movie and decided to let weird bugs sting them on purpose to get high?
Brown: This movie was written and directed by people who were surely cheesing like in "South Park." That becomes even more apparent later when Red dreams in "Heavy Metal" sequences.
While strapped to a chair and tripping balls, Jeremiah, who looks like a sociopath from "Xanadu," disrobes and has this long talk with Mandy in hopes of seducing her. The camera work tripped me out during this sequence because they merged Mandy and Jeremiah's face together to the point where I thought I was watching a DeepFake.
Froemming: Well, before he gets out of his Ace Frehley-inspired robe, he tells Mandy how much he loves The Carpenters, which is really the only red flag people need when encountering sketchy people. He then plays a record of his own music, where he is singing his own legend, which I did not pick up the first time I watched.
Mandy picks that up, and between this stupid folk music and Sand's flaccid dork hanging there like a dead sausage, she starts laughing. And just can't stop, which leads Jeremiah to lose his shit. To the point he is angrily jerking off, which made me laugh just as hard as Mandy was.
Brown: I figured Mandy was laughing because she thinks The Carpenters suck. She is wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt when she's abducted. Granted, it's from "Never Say Die"-era Sabbath, which was peak cocaine crisis Sabbath, but it's still WAY harder than The Carpenters or Jeremiah Sands as Bob Dylan. I wrote in my notes that the way Jeremiah was acting, he's basically a religious zealot version of Buffalo Bill from "Silence of the Lambs" minus the dick-tucking. That probably happened off-screen.
Froemming: One quick aside here, after watching this I played the soundtrack on Spotify and saw Jeremiah had his own music account. The song playing in this scene was there, with two new songs released in September of 2020. More research led me to find they are releasing an album of Jeremiah's music on Oct. 30.
Which leads me to wonder why the (REDACTED), after two years, they are putting out a whole album from a fictional character from a strange movie not a lot of people know about?
Brown: What the (REDACTED) else are people going to do when quarantined? We've already gone through "Tiger King" and "90-Day Fiance." Why not add Jeremiah Sand's version of Charlie Manson's "LIE?"
After having his mission from God and his manhood laughed at, Jeremiah throws Mandy in a bag and brings her outside, where Red is tied up. Jeremiah stabs Red with a pretty large dagger, then hangs the bag with Mandy up, soaks it in gasoline and sets her on fire right in front of Cage.
What was more scary, Froemming: the buildup to the burning, the actual burning, the soundtrack at this moment or the alarming shade of purple Nic Cage's face was during this entire sequence?
Froemming: Look, I think what follows is the scariest thing in this movie, which is also what my life is like after rough nights at work:
The cult leaves, and Red is able to get unbound from the barbed wire rope. The scene above follows one of the funniest and weirdest things in this movie: The Cheddar Goblin!
Brown: I want to watch an entire film on the Cheddar Goblin. Not a movie. A FILM. A work of visual art. That's what the Cheddar Goblin DESERVES.
When Red falls asleep, his dreams are animated just like the movie "Heavy Metal." I'll say it again: Everyone here is cheesing like Kenny in "South Park." All we needed was for Red's dreams to be scored by Don Felder.
Froemming: My question about the bathroom scene: Who keeps a liter of vodka under their bathroom sink?
Brown: It was in, like, a bathroom armoire where they hide the towels. But your point stands 100 percent.
Also, I can guarantee that neither one of us ever own a bathroom armoire. Or any armoire.
Froemming: Of course not, street toughs would steal it anyway!
Brown: And it's here, after a pretty understated performance for about an hour, we get Nic UN-Cage'd. And it's about goddamn time!
This movie goes from a David Lynch-ian surreal drama to a David Lynch-ian surreal revenge film as Red aims to hunt and kill both the Black Skulls and the Children of the New Dawn.
Froemming: I kept telling you as you messaged me while watching this you were in for a real treat. This is a movie nobody can really prepare for, you just have to ride it out.
Brown: Oh, I'm glad we got to some good, old-fashioned Nic Cage craziness. But everything up to this point, and frankly, throughout the Red rampage, is so esoteric that this movie could be a music video for "Load"-era Metallica.
Froemming: Red's first step is to visit Caruthers in his trailer, where his old buddy keeps The Reaper! Also, Caruthers reminds me we really need to review "Commando" and "Predator."
Brown: Having a wise black guy in this surreal hellscape made me think for a second that he had the Shining.
Froemming: This scene has my favorite line. "What are you hunting?" "Jesus freaks." Red spills the beans on the weird hippie Jesus freaks that burned his wife alive. Caruthers gives us some background info on the Black Skulls, and how they seem like urban legends except they are real and, like you mentioned, all goofed up on bad acid.
Brown: And if Cage getting a crossbow he named "The Reaper" wasn't badshit crazy enough for you, the dude goes and forges himself a battle ax like someone who takes LARPing WAY too seriously.
With weapons in hand, I was kind of hoping that Cage would look into the camera and say this:
Froemming: Caruthers informs him on where he could find the Black Skulls, and says he probably will not survive confronting them. To which Red replies something about not being so negative. Don't know why, but this made me chuckle.
With ax in hand, Red stalks these Sam's Club Cenobites, shooting one off its bike.
I am guessing there is no law enforcement in the Shadow Mountains? Red takes the law into his own hands here. Maybe it is a Stand-Your-Ground state?
Brown: Considering that the Black Skulls were drug runners once upon a time, it's safe to assume they don't give a crap about the law. And Red? He's Nic Cage, so nothing matters.
So Red wounds one of them with his crossbow, then goes to run him over, only for this Gobot Cenobite to apparently be so solid that it's like Red hit a cement pole and rolls his truck.
That is real weird when you consider that the rest of the Black Skulls are killed by an ax so they're all varying levels of destructible, I guess.
Also after killing one of the Skulls, Red dips his fingers in a gross-looking mason jar and has a taste of what's inside like he's Paddington Bear sampling some marmalade. Only, it's the bad batch of LSD and, well, Cage gets more Cagey after this. It's a means to an end that I always enjoy.
Froemming: Yeah, the zoom in on his face as the acid hits and melts his brain and all, how much is acting and how much is it he might have been actually tripping balls here?
Brown: It's somehow more insane than when Nic Cage transforms into the Ghost Rider.
Froemming: After he doses up and kills yet another Aldi Cenobite, he finds some glass and cocaine on the floor and vacuums that shit up his nose like Tony Montana!
I think this might be peak Nic Cage, man.
Outside their hideout, he sees yet another Family Valu Cenobite, shoots an arrow through it's neck and it doesn't faze the thing. That means it is time for some:
And if we didn't think things could get any more nuttier, Red decapitates this thing, sets its head on FIRE then lights a smoke from the flaming head!
I feel like Abed here talking about this movie:
Brown: Like the Lord, Nic Cage works in mysterious ways.
After finishing off the Shasta Cenobites, Red heads to a radio tower where a man is making drugs while also hanging out with a caged tiger?
At this point, this movie adheres to Michael Bay-talking-to-Ben Affleck rules.
Froemming: The Chemist is making some highly-potent blotter acid. I assume. Just an educated crack there *gets nervous* LET'S JUST MOVE ON, OKAY?
The Chemist sees the damage the Black Skulls and the cult have done to Red, what with him being caked in blood, eyes bugging out from acid and cocaine and all. He spills the beans on where to find Jeremiah and his group of middle-aged zealots.
We then find Red, much like The Bride in "Kill Bill," spying on the compound from high up in the mountains, which much like the Manson Family, is in the middle of the desert. Which leads me to believe maybe "Mandy" with all its weird geological locations, might take place near Springfield and Shelbyville.
Brown: You could tell me that "Mandy" takes place in Narnia and I'd believe you.
From this point, Red starts picking off gross hippies one by one. One via ax throwing, one via joining the sharp end of a battle ax with one's skull, one via chainsaw duel, and one via decapitation. Red goes so far as to lob the decapitated head into the room where Jeremiah is either praying or spreading his poop around like a crazy person.
Froemming: It can be two things.
Brown: Nic Cage is the Children of the New Dawn's Vietnam.
Froemming: Jeremiah is not bullshitting his way out of this situation. Red has no care in the world for his pseudo-religious nonsense. And when he senses this, Jeremiah offers to (REDACTED) Red's (REDACTED) which, as much as he has a perdy mouth, Red is not interested.
Then Jeremiah gets mad, yelling how he kneels for nobody and how Red should be kneeling before him, a real hail mary that had me thinking:
Spoiler: It does not work out well at all. To the point Red, in a weird distorted voice, gives Jeremiah one of the most badass things one can say before they murder someone:
I am your God now.
Brown: "I'm your God now." – Nic Cage.
I want that tattooed on my forearm.
Also, as Red smashes Jeremiah's head as Gallagher would smash a watermelon, I swear we saw Nic Cage's O-face. That fits in with this cornucopia of craziness.
With his revenge fulfilled, we see Red hop in a car and drive away from the Children of the New Dawn's burning church in a dreamlike state where Mandy is in the passenger seat. You know, kind of like the ending of "Grease" if "Grease" took place on the set of "Dune."
I'll put my final note here: "… What the fuck did I just watch?"
… Froemming, let's go to recommendations.
Froemming: Oh yeah, this is one of the best movies I have seen in the past few years. Off the wall, bonkers, original plus Nic Cage. It is quite the journey.
Brown: I'd say yes, just so long as you know you won't understand what's going on. Visually and audibly, it's an assault on your senses (in a good way). And we'll always recommend a crazy Nic Cage performance.

The art and science of simulation involves modeling the various possible events that could occur, using random vectors. Further, in every study involving random vectors, the question of determining the dependence between the variables (in these vectors) is fundamental to the simulation and to the associated data processing techniques. In the most basic model, the variables can be viewed from a simplistic perspective, and assumed to be independent. At the other extreme of the spectrum, one can assume that every variable is dependent on every other variable. The situation then becomes both extremely complex and intractable unless one resorts to Markovian-like assumptions. In this paper, we shall show how one can model the dependence using a linear number of dependencies implying the so-called Dependence Tree. We shall discuss the various scenarios encountered when the metrics for measuring the quality of the approximation is entropy-based or Chi-square based. In each case, we shall show how one can simulate events based on such a random vector, and also how the parameters associated with this random vector can be learned. Although extensive experimental results demonstrating the power of this modeling/simulation strategy will be given in the formal presentation, this paper is necessarily brief.

Nobel Literature Winner Gurnah to Receive Medal in UK
"Varieties"

Gurnah, 72, won the Literature Prize in October for his novels unflinchingly portraying the effects of colonialism and the plight of refugees. Tolga Akmen AFP
British novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah, winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature, will on Monday receive his medal in London.
Gurnah, 72, won the Literature Prize in October for his novels unflinchingly portraying the effects of colonialism and the plight of refugees, AFP said.
The Swedish ambassador to London, Mikaela Kumlin Granit, will present the writer with his Nobel medal and a diploma at her official residence at 1200 GMT, ahead of the main awards ceremony in Oslo on December 10.
The prize also comes with a sum of 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.1 million).
The Nobel Foundation announced in September that the winners for medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economics would receive their prizes in their home countries for the second straight year, due to "uncertainty about the course of the pandemic".
Gurnah became the fifth African to win the Nobel Literature Prize, with the most recent previously being South African writer J.M. Coetzee in 2003.
Born in Zanzibar off the coast of east Africa, now part of Tanzania, Gurnah fled to Britain as a refugee in the late 1960s, later acquiring British citizenship.
The Swedish Academy said Gurnah was honored "for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee between cultures and continents".
"I write about these conditions because I want to write about human interactions and... what is it that people go through when they are reconstructing lives," Gurnah told reporters at a news conference in London after his win.
- 'Something is getting through' -
The head of the Academy's Nobel committee, Anders Olsson, said Gurnah's writings had particular resonance after a record 82 million people fled wars, persecution and violence in 2020.
"The Nobel prize, it's an enormous honor," Gurnah told AFP when the prize was announced.
"It means that something is getting through -- that's what the work attempts to do, persuading or successfully reaching through to people. I love that, I'm so happy about that."
After his Nobel win, he urged Europe to see African refugees as people who "come out of need" and who "quite frankly... have something to give".
He has also spoken out against Brexit and the "Windrush" scandal, which saw immigrants from the Caribbean targeted by the government in recent years despite moving to Britain legally in the 1950s and 1960s.
"I'm speaking because this is how I would speak... whether I had won the Nobel prize or not. I'm not playing a role, I'm saying what I think," he told journalists.
Gurnah began writing as a 21-year-old in England. Although Swahili was his first language, he had learnt English in Zanzibar, a British protectorate until unification with Tanzania, and chose it as his literary tool.
The author of 10 novels and a number of short stories, he is best known for his 1994 breakthrough novel "Paradise", set in colonial East Africa during World War I, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
Gurnah also had a successful career in academia, recently retiring as professor of English and postcolonial literatures at the University of Kent in Canterbury. He lives in Brighton on the south coast of England.
On Tuesday he will deliver his Nobel Prize lecture, which will be streamed live on the prize's website.
This year has seen writers from Africa dominate top literary awards with South African Damon Galgut winning Britain's Booker Prize and 31-year-old Senegalese Mohamed Mbougar Sarr becoming the first writer from sub-Saharan Africa to win France's top literary award, the Prix Goncourt.

Bestselling Amazon author, speaker, and poet, Heather Grace Stewart was born in Ottawa, ON, and currently lives near Montreal, QC with her husband, daughter, and three feline friends. Trained as a newspaper and magazine journalist, Heather started her career as a poet and novelist after publishing this blog in 2008. At the time it was titled WHERE THE BUTTERFLIES GO, and it became her first poetry collection.


Yes, the Proust project continues in fits and starts. I find I can travel over to Proustland and stay for several hours with enormous pleasure, then go elsewhere for a day or a month and return where I had left off to take on that special world once more. I am now into The Captive – so I have made progress since July. See Proust: visiting a demented relative? Thanks, Kobo – but it does mean I am reading via eBook the old Scott Moncrieff translation. See also: All about the new Penguin/Viking editions of Marcel Proust's great novel, À la recherche du temps perdu, once known in English as Remembrance of Things Past but now more accurately titled In Search of Lost Time.
Lanchester, a brainy, pleasure-loving polymath, is a novelist, memoirist and journalist who writes sagely and elegantly about food, family, culture, technology and money. He's still best known for his delectably wicked first novel, "The Debt to Pleasure," which blends murder with gourmandise. But he has also written a well-reasoned nonfiction book entitled "I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay," which closely analyzes the current financial collapse. Now, with "Capital," he readjusts his sights and zooms out, framing a larger, more inclusive picture that shows how the easy-money era affected not just greedy speculators but the society that fattened around them.
The fiction I am currently savouring is The Importance of Being Seven, the sixth collection of episodes set in Scotland Street, Edinburgh, by Alexander McCall Smith. I read the seventh one in December: Bertie Plays the Blues. But no matter that I am out of sequence; the delight is undimmed.
Non-fiction just now is A Wild History: Life and Death on the Victoria River Frontier by Darrell Lewis. Tom Griffiths on Inside.Org rates it one of the best (overlooked) books of 2012.
If Ned Kelly had been gentler and more learned but just as much a bushman he might have written A Wild History: Life and Death on the Victoria River Frontier (Monash University Publishing, $29.95). Darrell Lewis's book is a distillation of bush wisdom and scholarly tenacity, of courageous fieldwork and equally adventurous archival sleuthing, of forty years of learning the country and of a lifetime of listening to history. Lewis has walked the Victoria River District in Australia's northwest, swum its crocodile-infested rivers, got to know its plants, animals and people, slept under its stars, inspected its caves, recorded its inscriptions on rock and tree, and then pursued its material diaspora wherever it may have migrated. I am reminded of a great landmark work in Australian history, A Million Wild Acres, a book about the Pillaga Scrub by another bush scholar, Eric Rolls. Lewis's book is full of frontier stories, superbly researched and skilfully told. And the book to look out for in early 2013 is The Archaeology of Australia's Deserts (Cambridge University Press) by Mike Smith. It's the most important work in Australian archaeology since John Mulvaney's The Prehistory of Australia (1969).
The Victoria River District is unusual in its lack of family dynasties with roots in the pioneer generation. The early settlers, who were occupying vast tracts of land, tended eventually to sell up and return to something more like civilisation. Lewis puts this down to the harsh climate, and to the remoteness and isolation, which lacked the ameliorating influence usually provided by country towns. With the high turnover of station staff, there has been 'a weak transmission of local knowledge'. The irony is that Aborigines, who, unlike the settlers, 'don't come from somewhere else, stay for a period and then leave', are actually 'the "keepers" of much "European" history'. Lewis knows the District's Aboriginal communities well, and is able to draw on the perspective on European settlement of those who so fiercely resisted it.
A Wild History is a fine piece of scholarship, exemplary in its judicious interpretation of both white and Aboriginal oral tradition, as well as the documentary sources. Just as the story begins with 'the aura about the country' firing Lewis's imagination, so at the end it is the landscape, majestic, beautiful, forbidding, that has the last word. Keith Windschuttle could learn a lot from this book.
I doubt KW would, alas – but I have been finding the book quite a revelation.
And then there is William James.
Yes it is dated, but on the other hand what a great classic it is! Makes you wonder whether we really have learned a great deal that matters since 1902. I certainly am enjoying this very belated first acquaintance.

Mike McDaniel provides injury updates on pair of Miami Dolphins after Week 1
By Peter Dewey
The Miami Dolphins picked up a huge win in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, as they beat the New England Patriots 20-7 in Miami.
However, the Dolphins did have two players get banged up in the win, as right tackle Austin Jackson suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and tight end Cethan Carter suffered a head injury on special teams.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel provided an update on both players on Monday.
Jackson, who was a first-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft, apparently could have returned to Sunday's game in an emergency situation for Miami.
"He stayed in uniform and could've gone back in, in an emergency situation," McDaniel said of Jackson. "It's serious enough that we're getting some more eyes on it. We'll be continuing along the process to have the best medical information on him moving forward. To be determined."
Even though he didn't return, it's a good sign that Jackson was close to coming back into the game against the Patriots, and that likely bodes well for his status in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
If Jackson is unable to go, tackle Greg Little, who played in his place on Sunday, would likely get the start on the right side for the Dolphins.
As for Carter, his status going forward is much murkier than Jackson's, as he is currently in the league's concussion protocol.
"He's in the concussion protocol," McDaniel said of Carter. "You guys know how that goes. That is, of all things, the most case-by-case basis. We'll be taking it as such moving forward."
Carter is currently listed as Miami's No. 4 tight end on the depth chart behind Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe and Hunter Long. However, he does have a role on special teams, as he was injured while covering a kick for Miami.
The Dolphins have a big road matchup with Baltimore, who shellacked the New York Jets in Week 1, coming up at 1 p.m. EST on Sunday, Sept. 18.
The Ravens dealt with a bunch of injuries last season, including one to quarterback Lamar Jackson, that led to them finishing with an 8-9 record in 2021.
Both of these teams will look to build on the momentum from wins in Week 1, and the Dolphins are hoping they have as many of their starters as possible in the lineup.

Businesses requirement to manage clients proficiently and viably calls for a steady change in their telephone framework. What's more, they have to minimise issues, for example, unauthorised utilization of telephone services and toll fraud (Phone Hacking). One of the real tests is to screen the uncalled for utilization of corporate correspondence offices for toll calls. The abuse of authorisation codes is a significant concern for different sorts of businesses. Toll fraud can happen with TDM and IP-based voice frameworks. From representatives that try to make a couple of free calls to programmers, any telephone framework could be helpless. Notwithstanding, call logging programming can dispose of this issue by guaranteeing that a phone framework is not traded off. Call logging includes catching call records, archiving them in a database, and after that recovering them by method of a reporting interface.
Call logging programming can track toll misrepresentation and give cautions and reports of abnormal phone action. The programming enactss as a framework watchdog for VoIP requisitions, cautioning overseers of any suspicious calling movement. This incorporates calls to global ends of the line, visit lines, stimulation services, grown-up services, and that's just the beginning. In the period of terrorism, it is paramount for calls to be followed.
Reports prepared by call logging programming might be utilized to build business effectiveness with extra mixed programming modules. Phone call information might be gathered and broke down for different purposes incorporating the overseeing of expenses. By taking a gander at these records, a business can figure out toll duplicity as well as screen the expense of calls and make important move to lessen such takes. It is likewise conceivable to figure out the amount of unused or abused developments in a system.
Call logging programming likewise empowers businesses to enhance the execution of workers by examining how rapidly they address inbound calls. The information could be utilized to prepare and order staff to end up additional profitable. With security being a real concern, it is critical to pick the right telephony framework, for example, Cisco Phones and Mitel Phones that offer call logging characteristics to help avoid dangers, for example, toll cheating. Cisco IP Phone s emphasize the bound together interchanges framework that gives clients a protected correspondences system.
So what pragmatic measures can telecom or IT administrators take to help anticipate being an alternate casualty of wrongdoing?
Different measures incorporate evaluating the design of your PBX in the light of known programmer methods and looking at arrangement portions against best practice and any administrative prerequisites that may relate to your industry area.
Guarantee default voicemail and support passwords are changed and acquaint an arrangement with anticipate effectively guessable passwords being utilized.
Verify that the arrangement requests consistent watchword changes and make moves to guarantee the approach is authorized.
Introducing a call logging result, to furnish notice of suspicious action on your PBX, is a convenient measure and one that can frequently bear the cost of profitable unanticipated cautioning of a strike. Audit existing PBX control works that could be at danger or which could permit slips to happen, as well.
Be conscious that numerous voice frameworks now have an IP address and are in this way associated with your information system – evaluate what procurements you need to section both systems. Security exposures can likewise come about because of the way various PBX stages are joined over a corporate system or from interconnectivity with existing provisions.
Research and examine working framework shortcomings – incorporating explanatory discoveries, make suggestions, prioritisation and alleviation or conclusion needs – and execute a standard calendar of exploring server administration packs, patches, hot-fixes and against infection programming.
Call logging programming is utilized by numerous businesses over the globe to screen and oversee phone calls, cut expenses, and increment bargains and benefit. In this way, little and medium ventures with a fundamentally high calling action should think about putting resources into call logging software.
Good phone systems are very useful when doing business in any company. The managers, employees, owners of the businesses, suppliers and the consumers of the company goods and services use phone systems to communicate to each other making the process of goods and services easy to produce and offer to their clients. Clients will ask questions and give their feedback through the phone. This makes the service delivery more professional and many client will prefer a company with a good phone framework and this will increase the profits in the business.

US Barack Obama has launched a last-minute effort to secure approval of his landmark healthcare reforms by the House of Representatives.
Mr Obama made a rare visit to Congress to try to persuade wavering members of his own Democratic Party.
Later he urged them to "finish the job" and "answer the call of history".
The bill, now being debated, will extend coverage to 36m more Americans and provide affordable healthcare to 96%, supporters say.
All House Republicans are opposed to it.
If the bill passes, the next step will be to reconcile it with a separate Senate bill.
It passed its first hurdle, with its proponents winning a test vote setting the terms of the debate by a margin of 50, although 15 Democrats joined Republicans in trying to block the debate.
President Obama has made reform of the healthcare system a central plank of his domestic agenda.
After private talks with lawmakers on Saturday, he said such opportunities came around "maybe once in a generation".
He added: "Even when it's hard - especially when it's hard. This is our moment to deliver.
"I urge members of Congress to rise to this moment - answer the call of history and vote 'yes' for health insurance reform for America."
There are a total of 258 Democrats in the House, but many have not committed to support the reforms.
Mr Obama needs 218 votes - more than half the 435 House seats. The New York Times said he had secured 205 votes by Friday evening and was negotiating for the other 13.
After meeting the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was confident of a win.
The House debate opened on Saturday with Democrats who support it saying it was needed morally, socially and economically.
Its mainly Republican opponents say the bill is over-ambitious, creates too much government control and could be hugely damaging to the economy.
The bill would allow the government to sell insurance in competition with private companies and make insurers offer cover to those with pre-existing conditions.
But this so-called "public option" has been scaled back in the wrangling that preceded the House vote.
The Democrats have reportedly offered concessions to anti-abortion legislators to allow a vote on an amendment on whether to allow public funding for abortion programmes.
The Washington Post predicted the anti-abortion lobby would now win that amendment vote and anger abortion rights supporters within the Democratic Party.
Mississippi's Republican Governor Haley Barbour said the bill should be "withdrawn and reworked" in favour of a more modest programme.
Although the House vote could come on Saturday, Mr Hoyer said it could be delayed to Sunday or even as late as Tuesday.
Once both the House and Senate have approved their own versions, a conference committee, made up of lawmakers from both houses, will convene to reconcile the two.
If both chambers then vote in favour of the reconciled version, it will be sent to Mr Obama for his approval, and become law.

2014 Aug 28 – Day 70 – Deer Lake, NL to Grand Falls-Windsor, NL
We arrived in Newfoundland on August 18, in the rain. Here we are 10 days later and we are still getting rain – we have had three days of sunshine since arriving. They had 6 straight weeks of sunshine and above average temperatures through all of July and early August. I guess they used it all up because the forecast for the next week is still mostly rain.
Well, you can't do anything about the weather. You either hole up in your hotel and do nothing or you go see the things you want to see. We chose the latter.
Newfoundland has 29,000 kilometers of coastline, not because the island is gigantic (although it is very large), but because there are several peninsulas with numerous inlets and bays so the coast meanders and winds in and out all the way around. We drove to the tip of the Braie Verte Peninsula today. At one time there were several copper mines on the Braie Verte and as we drove up we came across huge hills of tailings and then the old open pit mine could be seen through the trees. Since the closing of the mine the rain, and probably ground water too, has made 'lakes' in the deepest pits and the color was gorgeous. Even on a cloudy raining day like we had the blue was very vibrant.
The tip of the Braie Verte Peninsula was 89 km from the main TCHwy. At the end was a little town called Fleur de Lys and there is an historic site on the far side of town. It is an ancient Dorset Paleoeskimo Soapstone Quarry. There were several archaelogical digs there in the mid-1960's to determine which peoples used the quarry and what uses they made of the stone.
Many stone tools carbon-dated to the age of the Dorset people were found. It was determined that the main use of the soapstone was cooking pots and bowls. Soapstone retains heat even after being removed from the fire and it is quite easy to carve so utensils were often made from it when it was available. There are a thousand indents in the quarry face where pieces were removed between 500 BC and 500 AD.
After we checked out the quarry we continued up the trail and climbed to the lookout which had a 270 degree view of the Braie Verte inlet and the town of Fleur de Lys. We stopped for a light lunch at a picnic area in the town of Braie Verte. It was called Rattling Brook Park, which was stange as the Rattling Brook Falls are located quite a few kilometers away; they were on our to-do list for today.
We decided to investigate and climbed through the woods along the creekside to see the waterfall. The trail was really a worn track and ended at a huge boulder. John scaled it easily, I climbed about 1/2 way up and decided that was far enough. I had no problem with going to the top, my issue would have been getting back down the slippery wet rock. It took too long to get my hip replaced, I am not about to risk wrecking it. I gave John my camera and he took a few shots for me. Then I slid down the boulder on my butt bracing my feet in the crannies as I went. Needless to say I sat on a wet bum for awhile.
A slippery slope at the top of the trial.
We drove back to the TCHwy and went a bit further east before turning north again on Highway 391 to Rattling Brook and King's Point. Rattling Brook Falls is the most scenic waterfall in Newfoundland and has a straight drop of 800′. It was a 1 km hike in but there was a really nice boardwalk and flights of stairs all the way (270 of them) to the very top.
There was a new viewing platform at a lower level than the original because a rock slide had come down the cliff and ripped a chunk of boardwalk out. We decided that it was still possible to navigate the broken bit and climb to the top of the highest viewpoint. The waterfall flows down a narrow crevice between two bare rock cliffs. It was quite impressive.
I love the moss!
We had driven through King's Point on our way up to Rattling Brook but stopped in on our way back to see the Humpback Whale Pavilion.
There is a Great Whale Tour in Newfoundland where, at various places, there are skeletons of different whale species to view. King's Point had a 52′ Humpback Whale.
The whale was a mature female. In 2001 she and her calf got trapped in fishing lines. People were able to free the calf but the mother drowned. A group of people in King's Point had been wanting to get involved in the Whale Tour and got permission to use the whale.
The community where she died was quite aways from King's Point and the plan was to carve the flesh off the bones at the site. However she was frozen so the body was towed by boat to King's Point, lifted out of the water with an excavator and taken to the local dump where a bevy of community volunteers had the smelly, dirty task of removing all the bones. They were then crated in containers and placed back into the deep water for a year where the bones were cleaned of all remaining tissues by the crabs and other sealife.
When they were brought to the surface again they were pressure washed, loaded onto a truck and sent to Drumheller, Alberta to the Dinosaur Museum. At the museum experts teated the bones and created a steel frame for the skeleton, put it back together, made a pattern for the pieces, took it apart and sent it back to King's Point where it was reassembled and placed into the Pavilion for display. The community got some government grants to cover the cost of sending the skeleton to Alberta and building the pavilion but everything else was done by community volunteers and the pavilion is staffed by volunteers. The $5.00 per person charge pays the utilities and building maintenance. Great project and really well done.
Some of the baleen from the whale's mouth. It is just like long hair and is made of keratin, the same as our hair and fingernails. It grows throughout the whale's life. They use it to strain thousands of gallons of water per mouthful for krill, shrimp and other small fish. The throat of a humpback whale is the size of a grapefruit so they don't eat anything large. Just LOTS and LOTS of small stuff at a time.
Close up photo of the baleen in the top of a whale's mouth. The big pink part is the tongue.
We arrived at Grand Falls-Windsor for the night at 6:30. I think that is the latest we have been on the road our entire trip. It was a wet day all day but we enjoyed ourselves nontheless.

Q: Java Loop Until add elements I am creating a restaurant system and im trying to add tables when i create my restaurant. I can add 1 table using an if statement but im trying to get it to add multiple tables until addTbl does not equal Y. I've tried a variation of different kinds of loops but none of them work and i keep getting an error.
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
addRestaurant method:
public static List<Restaurant> addRestaurants(List<Restaurant> restaurants) {

    int newRestaurantId = Restaurant.getnumberOfRestaurants() + 1;
    String restaurantName= readString("Enter New Restaurant Name");
    String restaurantLocation= readString("Enter New Restaurant Locaition");

    char addTbl = readString("Add Table?: (Y/N)").toUpperCase().charAt(0);

    if (addTbl == 'Y') {

    int newTableId = Table.getNumberOfTables() +1;
    int seats = readInt("Enter Table Seats", 30, 1);
    Table rt = new Table(newRestaurantId, restaurantName, restaurantLocation, newTableId, seats);
     restaurants.add(rt);

    }
     else{

    Restaurant r = new Restaurant(newRestaurantId, restaurantName, restaurantLocation);
    restaurants.add(r);
             }
    return restaurants;

}

If you require more code then please just ask.
Thanks in advance!

A: I think what you are wanting to do is use something like a do-while loop.
do {
    char addTbl = readString("Add Table?: (Y/N)").toUpperCase().charAt(0);
    if (addTbl == 'Y') {
        int newTableId = Table.getNumberOfTables() +1;
        int seats = readInt("Enter Table Seats", 30, 1);
        Table rt = new Table(newRestaurantId, restaurantName, restaurantLocation, newTableId, seats);
        restaurants.add(rt);
    }else{
        Restaurant r = new Restaurant(newRestaurantId, restaurantName, restaurantLocation);
        restaurants.add(r);
    }
}while(addTble != 'N');

So the loop will continue until N is the input. Or change it to fit what you are needing (like using Q for quit).

PainSci summary of Andersson 2011?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense. Links to other papers and more general information are provided at the bottom of the page, as often as possible. ★★★☆☆?3-star ratings are for typical studies with no more (or less) than the usual common problems. Ratings are a highly subjective opinion, and subject to revision at any time. If you think this paper has been incorrectly rated, please let me know.
Andersson et al. studied how rabbit tendons responded to exercise over a period of weeks (a relatively harmless experiment for the rabbits, as these things go). The "exercise" was electrically stimulated contraction of the triceps surae muscle, as well as a bunch of passive movement (basically just moving a rabbit's foot over and over again, like that robot chair-stresser at Ikea). Three groups of rabbits were subjected to variations on this regimen, while a fourth group was left unmolested, for comparison purposes.
There was no difference after just a week, but the exercised rabbits showed more tendon cells and blood vessels after three weeks … and signs of damage after six. The results show the difference between exercise (a good thing) and over-exercise (too much of a good thing).
That's all lovely and all, but there was one really neato discovery in this study: only one side was artificially exercised, but both sides reacted after three weeks. Changes in the tendons were therefore obviously neurologically regulated, like a slow-motion reflex reaction on sides, reacting to the stimulus on one side. That is extremely interesting.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there are objective findings of tendinosis in a rabbit tendinopathy model on exercised and contralateral (non-exercised) Achilles tendons.
DESIGN: Four groups of six New Zealand white rabbits per group were used. The animals of one (control) group were not subjected to exercise/stimulation.
INTERVENTIONS: Animals were subjected to a protocol of electrical stimulation and passive flexion-extension of the right triceps surae muscle every second day for 1, 3 or 6 weeks.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Tenocyte number and vascular density were calculated. Morphological evaluations were also performed as well as in-situ hybridisation for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) messenger RNA.
RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the tenocyte number after 3 and 6 weeks of exercise, but not after 1 week, in comparison with the control group. This was seen in the Achilles tendons of both legs in experimental animals, including the unexercised limb. The pattern of vascularity showed an increase in the number of tendon blood vessels in rabbits that had exercised for 3 weeks or more, compared with those who had exercised for 1 week or not at all. VEGF-mRNA was detected in the investigated tissue, with the reactions being more clearly detected in the tendon tissue with tendinosis-like changes (6-week rabbits) than in the normal tendon tissue (control rabbits).
CONCLUSIONS: There were bilateral tendinosis-like changes in the Achilles tendons of rabbits in the current model after 3 weeks of training, suggesting that central neuronal mechanisms may be involved and that the contralateral side is not appropriate as a control.

Q: How to emulate a gyroscope in an Android Emulator I am trying to work on stuff related to a gyroscope. My phone does not have a built in
gyroscope. Is there a way to include the gyroscope functionality in the emulator, at least make the emulator set in such a way that it behaves as if it had a real gyroscope?
p.s. I do not need to read any values from the gyroscope, I just want the emulator to think that it has one.
I have searched thoroughly and all I've found was this: http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator
But this does not make the emulator feel that it has a in built gyroscope, instead it runs an app in the emulator and fetches readings from sensors that are simulated in "SensorSimulator".
Any info would be helpful

A: Gyroscope is newly supported in the Emulator of Android Studio 3.0, released to the Canary Channel on 5/17/17.  Note that (as of today) Android Studio 2.3.3 is the latest official (i.e. "stable") version.  Here is how you setup the Preview Version of Android Studio, which can exist concurrently with the official version.
Note that running the emulator out of the box won't work, as it's not a recent enough version:

You need to follow the 'change your update channel' steps in the latter link: select File > Other Settings > Default Settings and update from the Canary Channel:

Note that while running a Virtual Device with Android 7+ (aka API 26) did show Gyroscope output in the emulator's Virtual Sensors (within Extended Controls), it does not (at least yet) send that output to the virtual device; to actually see the environment in the sample app move as I moved the phone, I had to use Android 7.1.1 (API 25).
(Thanks to @jamal-eason for the protip!)
PREVIOUS (6/12/17):
As of the date of writing the release version of the Android Emulator (in Android Studio 2.3.3) does not offer Gyroscope support.
While the documentation referenced by @Nesski suggests this, I offer the following as proof:
The Android SDK's Virtual Reality getting started demo is the game called Treasure Hunt.  Here is what it looks like when played on a phone.  Notice that the camera moves as the player looks around.
Of the handful of devices compatible with the Google Daydream - because they contain an internal Gyroscope - Android Studio's AVD Manager offers only two of them: the Pixel and Pixel XL.  I downloaded two virtual devices for each of those phones so that I could run the latest two Android versions (7.1.1 and 8.0) on each device:

I ran each device in the Emulator, and got similar results: press CTRL + SHIFT + C (on Windows) to bring up the Extended Controls, and you'll be able to test the phone's Virtual Sensors:

Using its Rotate controls, you'll notice that while there is Accelerometer output, Magnetometer output, and Rotation output, there is no Gryroscope output.  You can rotate the phone as if you were looking around, but the game's camera view does not change as the phone is moved.
While this sad reality is unfortunate, I do, however, hope and expect Android to add Gyroscope support to the emulator in the future as more developers jump on the Google Daydream Virtual Reality bandwagon.

A:
The Android Emulator, launched with Android Studio 3.0 can simulate a range of rotation sensors that just might address your use case. We specially added a Gyroscope in the Android Emulator v26.1.0.

A: I don't think there is any Gyroscope support in the Emulator.
source.android.com's Sensors docs states

The gyroscope cannot be emulated based on magnetometers and
  accelerometers, as this would cause it to have reduced local
  consistency and responsiveness. It must be based on a usual gyroscope
  chip.

I am working on something similar so I'm kind of reading up on what data to collect and what not to.

Q: Does Updating an Android Library cause Error in my Code? I was using
implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.1.0-alpha05'
library to render the Material Components but then I updated the library to
implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.2.0-alpha03'
and everything bad happened. I was confused for an hour, asking myself where did I do wrong?
This was the error I had to experience:
Before Updating:
This is the Image
After Updating:
This is the Image
Is something wrong with my code or is it the Updated Library's fault.
This is the code in XML:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/DescriptionLayout"
                style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
                android:foregroundGravity="top"
                android:gravity="top"
                android:hint="@string/DescriptionHint"
                app:boxStrokeColor="@color/BoxColor"
                app:hintTextColor="@color/BoxColor">

                <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                    android:id="@+id/DescriptionEditText"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_gravity="top"
                    android:drawingCacheQuality="auto"
                    android:gravity="top"
                    android:inputType="textAutoCorrect|textMultiLine|text|textAutoComplete"
                    android:minLines="3"
                    android:singleLine="false"
                    android:textSize="14sp" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

After Updating to latest Library this android:gravity="top" code for my EditText inside the TextInputLayout does not work.
And Also this wasn't the only place this has happened. Should I update the library or not? Can someone help me with this decision? By not updating a library, will my application not work properly?
I am sorry for the trouble.

A: Can you please try by adding dense property in style.
Apply this style to your TextInputLayout.
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"

Q: Which known Jedi have engaged in casual sex? With reference to Are Jedi required to abstain from all sexual relations, or only from the ones involving emotional attachments?
Jedi are not permitted to form attachments but they are not required to be celibate. So to use Anakin Skywalker as an example, he is permitted to have sex with Padme if he chooses to but he is not permitted to be engaged in a long-term romantic relationship with her.
Now, casual sex has no emotional attachments to it by definition. So technically Jedi are permitted to engage in that if they want to. Are there any Jedi known to have actually done so? Anakin doesn't count because it most certainly isn't casual.

A: As far as I know, casual sex have been very limited in Star Wars, at least for Jedi. Jedi Padawan Kira Carsen mentions that, ''The [Jedi] Council can grant Jedi the right to 'attach' under certain circumstances . . . only Jedi who were raised by the order from birth get permission.'' Though any such relationship, formally declared, will be heavily monitored, reviewed monthly. The two would be kept apart from each other and only allowed to meet on occassion.
Though all player-based decisions, there are many such options in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Most of these romances can be seen in: here.

*

*Ki Sazen, a fallen Jedi Knight, can have casual sex once with the male Imperial Agent Cipher Nine.

*Any male Republic aligned character; including Jedi Knight & Jedi Consular, can have casual sex once with a civilian Deera Ulyette.

*The player-controlled female Jedi Knight can have casual sex multiple times with Doctor Archiban Frodrick Kimble (a.k.a.: Doc).

*The player-controlled male Jedi Knight can have casual sex with Jedi Padawan Kira Carsen once, then the relationship complicates due to not qualifying the ''Jedi relationship'' requirements where the choice to continue or not is presented.

*The player-controlled female Jedi Consular can have casual sex with Republic soldier Lieutenant Felix Iresso once.

*Though arguable if emotionless, the player-controlled male Jedi Knight can have relatively casual sex once with a civilian Ranna Tao'ven.

*The player-controlled female Jedi Consular can have casual sex with Doctor Tharan Cedrax once, a person who is in a semi-committed relationship with a sentient A.I..
There can be some more romances hiding in the expansions.
Other than in Star Wars: The Old Republic, one or twice I know of is:

*

*Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan, who was in a relationship with a clone commando, likely only had casual sex. But then, the commando did ignore Order 66 for her.

*The fallen Jedi Darth Raven as a brainwashed Jedi Knight, once more, can have a ''massage'' from female slaves only in Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic. Though not known exactly what the massage entail; there is that innuendo.

BIG unveil denis as nex takes break
HLTV
BIG have announced that they have completed the signing of Denis "denis" Howell from Sprout.
The 24-year-old enters BIG's starting line-up with immediate effect as Johannes "nex" Maget is moved to a substitute position once again following a relapse of the wrist problem that saw him miss almost three months of action at the start of the year.
denis, one of the most experienced players in the German scene, with eight Major appearances, leaves Sprout after 18 months with the organisation, who entered CS:GO in December 2017 with the acquisition of the Seed roster.
denis replaces nex on BIG's roster
During his time with Sprout, denis attended ELEAGUE Major 2018 and picked up title wins at the ESL Meisterschaft Summer 2018 Finals and at DreamHack Leipzig WinterNational. His final appearance for the team came at the Good Game League 2019 qualifier in Olsztyn, where the Germans went out third-fourth.
It remains unclear when nex will be seen again. Since returning to the squad in February, as a replacement for Owen "smooya" Butterfield, he had averaged a 1.04 rating on LAN, raising eyebrows at the IEM Katowice Major and at IEM Sydney as BIG's top performer.
"Denis is clearly one of the most experienced and consistent players in Germany and has already played on a top level internationally," BIG CEO Daniel Finkler said in a statement. "We are happy to have found a player who can help us during the upcoming challenges with all his knowledge and energy he can bring to the team.
"While transfers and player changes in sports clubs happen on a daily basis, some of them are tough to make. The replacement of Johannes "nex" Maget is definitely one of those.
"As a founding member of BIG, Johannes not only helped us with his tremendous talent as a player, he also shaped the organization and our identity since our foundation. The whole BIG team will support him during the recovery phase and his upcoming competitive pause. I'm extremely thankful for all his efforts and all the unforgettable moments we shared so far.
"Moreover, I`m proud to have him as a friend and shareholder on board of the BIG family and we will continue to write history together with him. It's not a farewell."
denis, who will reunite with former mousesports teammate Fatih "gob b" Dayik in the team, will make his first appearance for BIG next week, in the second round of ESL Pro League Season 9 Europe. The German team will face Heroic, Natus Vincere and North as they look to secure a spot at the offline finals, in Montpellier.
With these changes, BIG currently have:

Q: Incorrect previous day in Java Calender I wanted to get the previous day using Calender in Java. I am using the below code.
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
now.add(Calendar.MONTH, -2);

myDate = now.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "/" + now.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" + now.get(Calendar.YEAR);

System.out.println(myDate);

Output: 2/31/2020
The problem is above doesn't work all the time. As above if the current date is 03/01/2020 you get the above results. But February cannot have 31. Is there an option within Calendar lib to handle this?
And if I use below with formatting it gives completely different values.
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
now.add(Calendar.MONTH, -2);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/DD/YYYY");
String myDate= df.format(now.getTime());

System.out.println(myDate);

Output: 03/91/2020

A: Your date formatting is not what you intended to do. Try the following to get the previous date (yesterday):
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String MyDate= df.format(now.getTime());

System.out.println(MyDate);

According to the documentation "YYYY" is a week year and "DD" is a da in year.
P.S.: By convention variable names in java are written lowercase.

A: java.time
Do use java.time, the modern Java date and time API, for your date and time work. It is so much nicer to work with than the old, poorly designed and long outdated date-time classes including Calendar and SimpleDateFormat.
And do use a formatter whenever you need to format a date into a string.
    DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/uuuu");

    LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(ZoneId.of("Australia/Melbourne"));
    LocalDate then = today.minusDays(1).minusMonths(2);

    String myDate= then.format(dateFormatter);

    System.out.println(myDate);

Output when I ran today, March 2, 2020:

01/01/2020

Q: Sencha/PhoneGap App - iOS7 on video close, white space I have been throwing idea around trying to figure out how to fix this thing, but I can't figure it out.
So what we have, we are using the sencha video to display the videos.
var video = {
    xtype: 'video',
    url: res,
    posterUrl: shortd[1],
    enableControls: true
};

Ext.getCmp('VideoInfoVideo').add(video);

When the video is played, iOS7 opens it in full screen and when closing the video, about 20px of white space is added to the bottom (to the entire app). If you open the video again, another 20px is added.
jQuery see's the difference in the body tag, but when setting the height to the original, it does nothing.
Forgot to mention, Sencha Version: 2.3.1, Phone Gap 2.9.1

A: I ended up with a hacky fix to work around this.
I would detect when the video would end or exit full screen and then have a 200ms delay to reset the height on the app to remove the 20px white space.


It's no mystery, when it comes to picture-perfect digital content, the Maldives has it all. But are resorts and hotels really mastering the art of social media despite having the most breathtaking backdrop to work with? Here are three common mistakes every island resort is making and how to avoid them.
We get it, storytelling is the talk of the town on social media these days, yet content on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat appears to self-promote, sell and showcase what we already know about the Maldives. White sandy beaches, crystal-clear lagoons, lush palm trees flowing into the wind, the list goes on. What we don't see, or we don't see enough are the intriguing stories behind the Maldivian doors of a local island, how people live, and their legacy across the Indian Ocean. Essentially, storytelling translates your marketing message into a compelling narrative form.
If Instagram-worthy pictures easily convinced yesterday's travellers, we now have a new wave of Maldives' aficionados longing for more. They want to connect with the locals, get to know them, be their friends. They want the story. It's no surprise that the arrivals to the destination staying at local guesthouses rather than international resorts has increased over the last two years. Having very little to sell apart from modest accommodations on the beach or on local islands, new Maldivian entrepreneurs turned story-tellers nailed the game and are winning as we speak.
According to HubSpot, 78% of people watch online videos every week, and 55% view online videos every day, however, not many island resorts are embracing what is no longer a trend, but a digital "reality". The future of social media is video. As per the latest CISCO's findings, by 2020, online videos will make up more than 80% of all consumer internet traffic.
It's true, video production requires time, budget and resources, however, with today's technologies and super advanced smartphones, videos can be realised with very little backup and still be as effective. After all, in 2018, 51% of all video plays are recorded to be on mobile devices.
Not long ago, when drones started to become popular in the Maldives, only a few Maldivian photographers and videographers swiftly welcomed the new "toy" among their equipment and are now successfully providing aerial footage of the islands to their clients. More of this content is "wanted" online, with 100 million hours of video being watched each day on Facebook based on the latest TechCrunch statistics. Capturing the essence of the Maldives through a video – whether aerial or not – is what works on social media these days.
Today's digital scene can't be ignored; it's all around us. We post on multiple platforms, several times a day with different types of content. However, many islands' social media managers are cross-posting the same content onto different channels, and as we frantically try to catch up with everything and everybody, we end up seeing the same content multiple times.
Digital consumers value targeted content that matches their online behaviour and style and rather move away from profiles that replicate the same post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Think about it, reading the same caption with the same picture at least three times, might not just be what your followers are looking for. Would you like it, if it was your feed?
Cross-posting means to post the same content on different social media networks, however, with a few touches, even this practice might just work for those resorts and hotels who do not have a lot of budget for content creation.
Instagram speaks its own language where storytelling is crafted by captions complementing the visuals. Simple, effective, engaging. Facebook calls for a more conversational approach, teasing the audience and prompting comments and replies. Twitter is made of short and informative flash content, but the right visual helps the conversion.
Not all your followers are online at the same time. Cross-posted content has more chances to gain exposure and therefore increase network traffic if it is posted when the specific peak hours of each social channel. This might vary based on where your followers are located and what network you chose to post on.
