Q: Threads not behaving how I want in a Java chat application I'm developing a chat application, and I'm using global variables as a way to allow server threads to access and update shared information (I know this isn't recommended, but I'm going to stick with this method for the time being).
What I want to happen, is that every time a new message is submitted, it prints to all the clients so that all the clients can see them.
What actually happens, is that it only updates the client that I've submitted a message with. Though it does kinda of receive messages from the other client. It's not simultaneous.
Where am I going wrong?
class Server {

public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {

    boolean listening = true;
    int portNumber = 6000;

    try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(portNumber)) {
        while (listening) {
            new ServerThread(serverSocket.accept()).start();
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.err.println("Could not listen on port " + portNumber);
        System.exit(-1);
    }
}
}

Server thread for handling clients.
public class ServerThread extends Thread {
private Socket socket = null;
public ServerThread(Socket socket) {
    super("ServerThread");
    this.socket = socket;
}

public void run () {

    int msgCnt = 0;
    boolean running = true;

    try (
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(
                socket.getInputStream()));
    ) {
        String inputLine, outputLine;

        while(running) {

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
            if (Global.messageCount > msgCnt){
                out.println(Global.currentMessage + " received from others");
                msgCnt = msgCnt + 1;
            }
            outputLine = inputLine;
            Global.currentMessage = inputLine;
            Global.messageCount = Global.messageCount + 1;
            //out.println(outputLine);

        }
            //if (outputLine.equals("QUIT"))
            //    break;
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

Also, client code
class Client {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
    String sentMessage;  //variable for input
    String status;
    boolean running;

    BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    Socket clientSocket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 6000); //name of computer to connect with and port number to use

    DataOutputStream outToServer =
            new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
    BufferedReader inFromServer =
            new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));

    running = true;

    while(running)
    {
    sentMessage = inFromUser.readLine(); //user inputs text to variable 'sentMessage'

    outToServer.writeBytes(sentMessage + '\n'); //the variable is sent to the server

    status = inFromServer.readLine(); //the modified data is returned from the server

    System.out.println("FROM SERVER: " + status); //display to user

    }
clientSocket.close();
}
}

Global class, just a few variables
public class Global {
    public static String currentMessage = "Nothing";
    public static int messageCount = 0;
}

A: I think your error is in this logic here:
    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
        if (Global.messageCount > msgCnt){
            out.println(Global.currentMessage + " received from others");
            msgCnt = msgCnt + 1;
        }
        outputLine = inputLine;
        Global.currentMessage = inputLine;
        Global.messageCount = Global.messageCount + 1;
    }

Notice that you are only going to begin executing the contents of this while loop once a client has submitted a message.  If the thread is blocked on in.readLine() and another thread submits a message, there is nothing to cause this while loop to kick off.  I would expect you would get the output you want on the next message submitted by this client.
One other note: it seems like you should set msgCnt = Global.messageCount, otherwise you could have a situation where Global.messageCount is more than +1 of the current msgCnt, and then you forevermore run the contents of your if (Global.messageCount > msgCnt) statement.

A: You need to maintain the list of all the clients.
If any message is received from any client just iterate through the list and send the messages to other clients.
Sample code:
List<ServerThread> allClients=new ArrayList<ServerThread>();

class ServerThread extends Thread {
   private Socket socket = null;
   private PrintWriter out;

    public ServerThread(Socket socket) {
        ...
        allClients.add(this);
    }
   ...

       ...
       //code where you received any message
       for (ServerThread client : allClients) {
             if(client != this) {
                  client.out.println(Global.currentMessage + " received from others");
             }
       }
       ...
}

I have posted a sample code in the same context.
Please have a look at Java Server with Multiclient communication. and follow the post to find more samples.

A: From Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz:

[...] in the absence of synchronization, there are a number of reasons a thread might not immediately -- or ever -- see the results of an operation in another thread.  Compilers may generate instructions in a different order than the "obvious" one suggested by the source code, or store variables in registers instead of in memory; processors may execute instructions in parallel or out of order; caches may vary the order in which writes to variables are committed to main memory; and values stored in processor-local caches may not be visible to other processors.  These factors can prevent a thread from seeing the most up-to-date value for a variable and can cause memory actions in other threads to appear to happen out of order -- if you don't use adequate synchronization.

Declare Global.currentMessage to be volatile.  Also, use AtomicInteger for Global.messageCount, calling AtomicInteger.getAndIncrement() to increment the counter.
You will also encounter other concurrency-related issues with your design.  I suggest reading up on concurrency in Java before continuing.  The aforementioned book is a most excellent resource.

Clubs in Focus: John Brooks, Uly Llanez the Latest in VfL Wolfsburg's USMNT Contingent
With so many U.S. nationals playing abroad these days, it's easy to forget that the process of earning respect and those opportunities has been a long road paved through decades. While players are now spread out across of a multitude of countries and leagues, a handful of clubs have shown a particular faith and affinity for the American professionals.
Over the next week, we'll take a look at clubs where U.S. players have made a particularly strong impact in numbers and performance through the years. On Monday, we looked at English Premier League club Everton FC, and today we'll move to the German Bundesliga with VfL Wolfsburg.
In a city known best as the home of current U.S. Soccer presenting partner Volkswagen, it's perhaps fitting that no less than eight USMNT players have worn the green and white of Wolfsburg.
Before he became the first American male to score in multiple FIFA World Cups, current USMNT general manager Brian McBride began his professional career with Die Wölfe in 1994. The budding young striker earned an early career highlight when his 70th minute bicycle kick triggered a 2-1 comeback victory against Bayern Munich II in the quarterfinals of the 1994-95 DFB Pokal, pushing the club to a runner-up finish in the German Cup that season.

— VfL Wolfsburg US (@VfLWolfsburg_US) March 25, 2018
McBride was joined at the club that season by defender Mike Lapper. The defender had just come off being part of the USA roster at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and even scored in his Wolfsburg debut, tallying the opening goal in a 3-0 victory against Fortuna Köln on Sept. 25, 1994. [WATCH]
Having bounced around Germany for much of the early 1990s, midfielder Chad Deering found a home at Wolfsburg in 1996, as did future USMNT captain Claudio Reyna the following season.
Though a defensive midfielder, Deering made headlines at the club when he recorded a rare hat trick, scoring three goals in a 5-1 victory against Rot-Weiss Essen on March 23, 1997.

Joining the club on loan after a frustrating time at Bayer Leverkusen, Reyna at times partnered in midfield with Deering during the 1997-98 season, and notably scored in both of the club's league matches against Bayern Munich that campaign.

Most importantly, the time spent at Wolfsburg helped the budding midfielder fully establish himself abroad and even went on become the first American to captain a European club before moving to another side we'll feature later in the week…
In more recent years, twice-capped forward Kamani Hill earned time with the Wolves from 2006-09, while midfielder/defender Fabian Johnson also made a stop there from 2009-2011.
John Brooks made big waves when he arrived at the Volkswagen Arena in 2017, moving to the club for $22.4 million – then a record for a U.S. player and only surpassed by Christian Pulisic's 2019 transfer to Chelsea. Anchoring the backline in his third season with the club, Brooks is joined there by young U.S. forward Ulysses Llanez.

After a great run in the U-19 Bundesliga earlier this season, Llanez went on to score in his USMNT debut during the 1-0 win vs. Costa Rica on Feb. 1 and was recently promoted to the club's first team. With the Bundesliga moving towards a return to play in May, Llanez will hope to register his first-team debut before the end of the campaign.

One digital storytelling tool that I don't think I have talked about enough is Animoto. It is an online and mobile video creation service that makes it easy and fun for students to create and share amazing videos using their own images, words and music. You can sign up and create dynamic presentations for free or there are a couple of paid options with more options. As always, I use the free version.
After choosing a theme (this will determine the look and feel of the video), simply upload images and to the video editor. Next, you personalise your movie with text and music— Once you're satisfied with the layout, click the produce button to be amazed.
Animoto can be integrated across the curriculum so it is the perfect digital storytelling tool for the classroom. For example, biographies, field trips, book report projects, movie trailers and more can all be created quickly and easily. A great feature is the ability to sign up for a teacher account and add up to 50 students. This way you get Plus for free for 6 months and the ability to save the finished product to the camera roll. Or you can just share the link on your class blog.
What a great way to inspire creativity in your students by giving them the opportunity to showcase their knowledge in a fun, innovative and educational way!
I created a quick video to give you an idea. This one is very basic and took my 2 minutes to create.

Q: mdiparent click The click ,double click on mdi parent of the .net MDI form does not work is it a bug?

A: Well, that's not much to go on without knowing exactly what you click on.  The gray background of the parent is a separate control, an MdiClient, not the form.  You'd register a click event for it with code like this:
    public Form1() {
        InitializeComponent();
        foreach (var ctl in this.Controls) {
            if (ctl is MdiClient) {
                (ctl as MdiClient).Click += Client_Click;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    private void Client_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // etc...
    }

US lawmakers ask federal court to stay Defense of Marriage Act case
Friday 22 June 2012 at 11:30 AM ET
by Max Slater
A group of Republican members of the US House of Representatives [official website] filed a memorandum [text, PDF] in the US District Court for the District of Connecticut [official website] on Wednesday, asking the district court to stay a case challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text; JURIST news archive] until a similar case in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] is decided. The memorandum urged the district court, which is a court in the Second Circuit, to refrain from ruling in the case Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management until the Second Circuit rules on the constitutionality of DOMA in a pending case, Windsor v. New York:
[T]his Court should stay the proceedings in the case pending a decision by the Second Circuit in Windsor because: The issue before this Court—the constitutionality of DOMA Section 3 under the equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause—is precisely the issue now before the Second Circuit in Windsor; a merits ruling by the Second Circuit in Windsor—or a ruling on Section 3's constitutionality by the Supreme Court in Massachusetts, should that occur first—clearly will inform, and likely will be fully dispositive of, this Court's disposition of Plaintiffs' equal protection claims in this case; and it appears likely that the Second Circuit will consider the Windsor appeal on an accelerated basis.
The House GOP leaders who filed the memorandum plan to ask the US Supreme Court [official website] to rule on the constitutionality of DOMA.
The specific provision in DOMA that many same-sex couples are challenging on due process and equal protection grounds is section 3, which defines marriage solely as between one man and one woman. DOMA has been the subject of great controversy recently in the ongoing debate about same-sex marriage [JURIST backgrounder]. Last week, 10 US senators filed a brief [JURIST report] urging the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] to uphold section 3 of DOMA. Two weeks ago, a federal judge in New York ruled [JURIST report] that section 3 of DOMA unconstitutionally violated the principles of federalism. In May, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit [official website] opined [JURIST report] that section 3 of DOMA unconstitutionally infringed on a state's right to define marriage.

Q: Dijkstra - find destinations within budget I was given a graph, including a start vertex, other vertices, and edges represent the costs going from one vertex to another. I need to find the set of destination vertices that I can travel to from the start vertex. The budget is a certain amount of dollars and the travel total cost should be within the budget. How can i implement the Dijkstra's algorithm to this problem? I think we usually use Dijkstra to find the shortest path between two fixed vertices before. But I am not sure how to implement Dijkstra on this budget problem. If someone can give some ideas, that really helps!

A: To my undersatanding, Dijkstra's algorithm solves the single-source shortest path problem. This means that the resulting data structure is a tree rooted at the starting node. Typically, an implementation would store the minimum cost to reach each node from the starting node. In total, the set of vertices that can be reached within the budget are the ones to which the cost of the shortest path does not exceed the budget. The algorithm itself does not need to be modified; in an additional step, the nodes which can be reached within budged has to be returned as the output.

A: If you use Dijkstra algorithm, you may end up with the below scenarios:
Assuming budget of 50 and the graph of 4 nodes (start, node 1, node 2, node 3)
Start Node -> node 1 (15) -> node 2 (10): so total cost is 25
Start Node -> node 3 (15): total cost is 15
So now what is your expected result? You should go to node 1 then node 2 and ignore node 3 (since you cannot return back to start then go to node 3, the return will cost 30 too). Or you should go to node 1, back to start, then go to node 3 (total cost of 45, the largest cost you can utilise)
What you need is not the shortest path covering all destinations which is Floyd-Warshall algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd–Warshall_algorithm

Joe & Melissa Gorga Hope The Kids Will Keep Joe & Teresa Giudice Together
by Reality Tea on October 25th, 2019
Is it Sunday night yet? The anticipation is killing me waiting for Andy Cohen's interview with Joe and Teresa Giudice. The estranged couple hasn't even seen each other since he was released from an ICE detention center, yet they are reuniting via video chat for this very public interview. Don't get me wrong, I'm nosy as hell and I can't wait to watch, but I can't help feeling like they should have met up in private first.
Previously, Teresa's brother Joe Gorga said that Teresa should be prepared for a divorce. Teresa herself said that she wouldn't stay with Joe if he gets deported. She also said that she "wasn't sure" if she was still in love. Those comments and the hand-holding with the 26-year-old man in Miami and New York, really aren't adding up to happy reconciliation for the Giudices.
Recently, Joe and Melissa Gorga dished on Joe's pending deportation in an interview with toofab. Joe Gorga said, "He's doing good" and that he's spoken to his brother-in-law since he landed in Italy.
Joe also remarked, "[They're] thousands of miles apart… it's tough man." He added, "The kids will keep them together, we hope. We'll see."
RELATED: Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Joe Giudice Speaks Out For The First Time Since Prison Release
Melissa talked about Joe Giudice's post-prison body. She said, "He looks good. I think he looks good… he had a lot of time to work out and pump iron."
She also joked, "We saw him eating pasta, we thought they were gonna stuff him back into a meatball. No, I think he's going to stay nice and trim, and he's going to work out… it's all good things, everything is going to start new now." She concluded, "We hope so, fingers crossed."
RELATED: Teresa Giudice Doesn't Know If She Still Loves Joe Giudice; Just Wants "To Be Happy Again"
We shall see what happens. It seems like Joe and Teresa's marriage is dead in the water, but it's tough to see those four girls apart from their father for so long.
Is it Sunday night yet? I need to see this interview ASAP.

The Easiest Egg Fried Rice Add the cooked rice into the pan or wok and cook for a few minutes, until the rice is heated through. If you have large clumps of rice, break them apart with the back of your spatula. Pour the single beaten egg over the rice and stir to coat the rice with the egg. Cook for another minute. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) and stir to distribute the... Add cooked rice to the pan (without oil) and fry for a few minutes or until it is warm enough. Make a well in the middle of the pan and pour in 2 beaten eggs. Let them cook for a while before you start scrambling them until almost fully cooked.
In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil and crack an egg to make a fried egg. Place the fried rice on a plate with a fried egg, fresh salads, or kimchi. Serve immediately.... Apart from the eggs, which are fried at the time of cooking, and the spring onions, which are left raw, all the ingredients for fried rice should be pre-cooked, as the frying process is only long enough to heat them through. All meats and vegetables should be diced – you want them all roughly the same size.
Alternatively, you can make your eggs into an omelette in a separate pan, then chop and fold through your rice. This oriental egg-fried rice recipe uses cooked American long-grain rice, Chinese five-spice, veggies and chopped bacon for a satisfying midweek meal.... Cooking fried rice is not all that different from, say, searing chunks of beef for a stew: You want to make sure that the pan is ripping-hot before you add the rice, so that the exterior has a chance to brown and acquire some texture before the rice exudes too much internal moisture and ends up steaming instead of frying.
In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil and crack an egg to make a fried egg. Place the fried rice on a plate with a fried egg, fresh salads, or kimchi. Serve immediately.
Bacon is a mainstay in any fried rice I make. Chop up 6 oz and pan fry in a large heavy skillet on medium heat.

The Pamela Davies Collection: Continuity Supervision in British Widescreen and Colour Cinema
Steven Roberts
Film continuity supervision is a craft historically dominated by women. Yet, several years since Melanie Williams's pathbreaking article on David Lean's continuity supervisors, scholarship on this deeply gendered area of film production expertise remains lacking. In response, this dossier contribution will introduce Pamela Davies' film continuity stills, catalogued by the author at the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum during an AHRC-funded placement (2018–2019). Davies secured the desired consistency of dialogue, cinematic staging and special effects in British cinema from 1948 to 1985, beginning with the post-war cycle of historical drama in widescreen and colour. Taking a multi-faceted archival approach, I discuss how photographs in the collection snapshot Davies at work and the stills photographers who collaborated with her during a transformative period in British cinema. Examining the stills in their material, craft and commercial contexts will raise new questions about continuity work and make the collection more accessible for researchers.
The Pamela Davies Collection of photographs illuminate her craft as continuity supervisor in British cinema between 1948 and 1985. The photographs were referred to by Davies during film production and posthumously donated by her sister, Gillean Slade, to the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at the University of Exeter. This historically significant acquisition was recently catalogued by the author with the assistance of Museum volunteer Ellen Mitchell. Individual items have since featured in museum displays and seminar materials, for example, in Exeter's taught BA module on "Female Screens". The collection contains over six hundred individual photographs and contact sheets that provide an overview of Davies' career trajectory, from an autographed monochrome still of Kieron Moore in costume for London Films' Anna Karenina (Julien Duvivier, 1948), on which Davies served as continuity assistant, to colour Polaroids of Steaming (Joseph Losey, 1985) in production, among her last films as continuity supervisor. Thirty film titles represented in the collection encompass the popular post-war genres of comedy, crime, science fiction and historical drama, as well as independent cinema directed by Joseph Losey, Laurence Olivier, Carol Reed, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
This report takes a revisionist historical approach to film continuity supervision while making the collection more navigable and hopefully encouraging readers to access it for their research. I will provide a contextual overview of the collection's photographs, which attends to their authorship, material format and special functions. Selected production stills of history films will be examined in more detail to provide an archival trace of Davies' craft. Historical war films, literary adaptations and adventure romance mark Davies' early cinema career, which directly followed her training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Auxiliary Territorial Service in the 1940s. These films showcased international locations, star actors, widescreen and colour formats in order to attract audiences during a period of declining cinema attendance, suburbanisation and competition from home television or other post-war pastimes. Behind-the-scenes snapshots of Davies at work and her sophisticated notes regarding film continuity reveal her responsiveness to aesthetic developments that energised the British film industry.
Continuity supervisors and their assistants have the vital role of ensuring films cohere with the shooting script, hence their alternate "script supervisor" title. Any changes to the planned action, dialogue, costume, cosmetics, props, staging, framing, lighting and sound are documented by the continuity supervisor, providing an essential reference point for the director and editor. The continuity supervisor's familiarity with the script also qualifies them to lend an ear to directorial ideas, join in location scouting, or refer actors to their required lines, all of which can demand stamina and tact. Davies is captured in an industrious light by her photographer colleagues. She confers intently with Reed as they stand knee-high in a river when in Sri Lanka for Outcast of the Islands (Carol Reed, 1951), studies the script of Judith (Daniel Mann, 1966) alongside Sophia Loren, or assists Judy Garland for I Could Go on Singing (Ronald Neame, 1963). Working across studio spaces and remote locations, Davies exudes preparedness when pictured with her stopwatch, typewriter and copious notes.
The collection's photographs fulfilled various standard functions beyond documenting Davies' continuity work, including casting, action shots, industry-reflexive work relating to the making of the film, and marketing (Marchant 172). These different types of image were known to and repurposed by Davies in her role as continuity supervisor. For example, Arthur E. Lemon's still of Jack Hawkins, posing with bow and arrow on Fox's "runaway" British production of The Black Rose (Henry Hathaway, 1950), a Technicolor romance shot partly at Warwick Castle, exemplifies the unit stills photographer's promotional angle, which Davies could appropriate for wardrobe continuity. Continuity supervisors Elaine Schreyeck, June Randall and Pamela Mann-Francis also speak in interviews about the usefulness of sketching and photographing scenes, particularly after Polaroid's rapid-developing cameras entered the market in 1948. However, Mann-Francis recalls one stills photographer who forbiddingly cited trade union rules when she snapped Polaroids rather than relying on his photographs, and whose routine duties were safeguarded by the British Association of Cine-Technicians (later ACTT, now merged to form BECTU, the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre Union), whereas Mann-Francis had to argue for union membership.
The Pamela Davies Collection enriches our knowledge of a filmmaking role predominately occupied by women that has historically been overlooked or erroneously regarded as a non-technical role. It has been overlooked partly because "good" continuity supervision is paradoxically signalled by the absence of perceived bloops such as misplaced props, which would otherwise commonly materialise, particularly as scenes are filmed out of narrative sequence in rationalised production schedules that minimise call time and so forth. Whereas a sweeping crane shot might suggest a camera unit working in harmony, the overarching contribution of continuity supervisors is difficult to spot unless errors arise in the film. Exacerbating the onscreen (in)visibility of continuity work is the underappreciation of women behind the scenes: even seasoned technicians have been referred to as "script girls" and elided with secretarial personnel because of gender bias in trade discourse. The unofficial scope of continuity supervision has included unsociable overtime spent with production notes and uncredited acts of diplomacy, leading to Maggie Unsworth's problematic reputation as David Lean's unobtrusive "sounding board" (Williams 610). Similarly, biographer Edith de Rham writes that there was "virtually no one on whom Losey relied more than Pamela Davies" over the course of twelve films that they made together (280). The director stated in the preface to James Leahy's monograph, published in the release year of Accident (Joseph Losey, 1967), that Davies' "dedication as well as her work have made such an enormous difference" (8). The continuity supervisor's ideal interpersonal qualities of reliability and dedication are tellingly distinguished from "her work", which is praised only indirectly (Leahy 8). But direct evidence of Davies' craft labour survives in her photograph collection.
Complementing the mannered style of promotional portraits and "candid" behind-the-scenes reportage in Davies' collection are annotated photographs indicative of the continuity supervisor's technical expertise. The photographs have an idiomatic resolution, scale, hue and surface texture, which is informed by their mode of production and intended purpose. For example, the subdued browns of early Polaroid might not replicate the Technicolor palette of Zarak (Terence Young, 1956), but they did provide an efficient surface for Davies to number film colours in pencil, with explanations on the plain reverse side. In one Polaroid of the Elstree soundstage, costumed acting doubles on a balcony set are flanked by plants that are categorised, in Davies' familiar cursive hand, as "(1) bright pink azaleas, (2) pink & white petunias, (3) green only" (Figure 1). The flora echoes Salma's (Anita Ekberg) pink dress and background drapes (Figure 2), which visually soften the mood as she soothes the exiled Zarak (Victor Mature). Comparing further annotated photographs and film shots suggests that Davies adopted a taxonomic vocabulary for colour continuity. A Polaroid of Zarak's horse, which is seen in Morocco directly after the above scene, bears descriptions of its "chestnut" coat and "rose red saddle" topped with "scarlet" fabric, which Davies distinguishes from the "tomato red cotton turban" of Larkin (Patrick McGoohan) in another wardrobe still.

Davies adapted to a widescreen mise en scènewhich extended the image area and added materially to the complexity of her role. From 1953, Steve Chibnall describes how the cost of widescreen technology to British independents was mitigated by Hollywood coproduction and distribution deals (150–1). As such, Warwick's Zarak and London Films' Storm Over the Nile (Terence Young and Zoltan Korda, 1955) could be captured on 35mm film in the aspect ratios of 2.35:1 and 2.55:1 (width to height) respectively, by squeezing the wide image through the anamorphic lens of Twentieth Century-Fox's CinemaScope format. The manner in which Mature and Ekberg are surrounded by ornate arches, drapes and the flowers noted by Davies belies what C. S. Tashiro calls the "saturated" design of historical widescreen cinema (51–4). John Box's ornamental art direction in Zarak aims to focus attention on the characters through blocking and reinforce the film's production values, mercilessly exposed in widescreen. Through her repeat association with independent cinema, Davies would again encounter Box on Oliver! (Carol Reed, 1968), whose yawning London sets were lensed in Panavision at Shepperton studios and produced by Warwick and Romulus, with stills by Bob Penn.
Davies' craft was brought closer to theatrical staging in Richard III (Laurence Olivier, 1955), which uses uncluttered sets and widescreen composition to foreground Shakespearean performance. Davies precisely recorded actor placement for a large speaking cast (the 2012 film restoration runs just over 160 minutes) within the 1.85:1 frame, as standardised by Paramount's VistaVision format. To capture the deep staging of actors in high resolution VistaVision, Norman Hargood supplied Davies with glossy photographs of the soundstage and filming locations. The inclusion of lighting rigs, camera dolly and costumed doubles provide a novel view of noteworthy scenes, for example the sequence in which Gloucester (Olivier, here substituted) observes his schemes unravel at court from the exterior parapet, framed by tall windows. Hargood's labour-intensive panoramas are another special contribution that combine two to three photographic panels of the Battle of Bosworth sequence in Spain, most likely created for promotional purposes but allowing Davies an overview of army placement and uniform. Although no chromatic annotations by Davies appear, she would have been conscious of the colour-coded costumes which are used to distinguish factions throughout the film.
New archival, trade and oral history sources nuance the scholarly appreciation of marginalised continuity supervisors. Recent research includes Melanie Williams on Lean's continuity supervisors, an AHRC project locating women in British film and television led by Melanie Bell (2014–2017), and monographs by Erin Hill and J. E. Smyth on women's work on diverse rungs of the Hollywood studio hierarchy. Practitioners have also offered their definitions of continuity supervision: on the website of Script Supervisors UK (sadly now defunct), cofounded by Diana Dill, Jane Jackson and Anwen Bull; in trade manuals by Avril Rowlands and Pat P. Miller; and in interviews and memoirs, such as that of Tokyo-born continuity supervisor and production manager Teruyo Nogami (translated into English in 2006), who assisted Akira Kurosawa. The Pamela Davies Collection makes several contributions to this field of discourse. Firstly, as craft objects, annotated photographs provide material clues about Davies' detailed examination of film colour, costumes, sets, widescreen staging and special effects. Secondly, the collection underscores how continuity supervision and cinema technology coevolved during Davies' career. Thirdly, the archived images embody an underreported collaboration between continuity supervisors and the stills photographers who bolstered Davies' reference materials and shaped her trade image. Fourthly, research into British studio culture, star branding, set design and other filmmaking roles will find considerable value in consulting the Pamela Davies Collection and help to contextualise continuity supervision. Future archival research will be further strengthened by my three-fold approach to the authorship, format and function of stills photography in the film industry.

Tis the season for giving thanks. Most people would be happy with family, friends, and fortune. But at the Cure Institute, the only thing anyone is grateful for is making it through the night. Last week, we learned three things: The Chanels have teamed back up with Hester (Lea Michele), everyone still hates Chanel No. 5 (Abigail Breslin) and, most importantly, Dr. Cassidy Cascade (Taylor Lautner) is the baby in the belly from the night of the 1985 murders.
After this week's aptly named "Blood Drive" episode, I have some questions I hope get answered.
- Could he be more than just a cold-skinned hottie, and also be the cold-blooded killer?
- Is Chamberlain (James Earl) really involved, like Zayday (Keke Palmer) thinks?
- Will Denise Hemphill (Niecy Nash) be brought back to life?
- How many Chanels (of the new additions) will make it to the end?
Let's examine the episode, which was one of the most torturous yet. Spoilers ahead.
Everyone's accents are back to normal (thank God), but neither Chanel No. 3 (Billie Lourd) nor Dr. Brock Holt (John Stamos) are suspicious of Dr. Cascade's brooding and mysterious refusal to hang out with them.
There is a massive blood shortage. To make up for it, Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) holds a blood drive. Chanel freaks out because she loves blood drives, and is determined to bring in the most blood. Her quest to squeeze the most blood out of her new Chanel recruits (and anyone else willing) consumes her whole plot line in this episode. Her choice victim is, of course, poor Chanel No. 5 (Abigail Breslin), who donates almost a dozen pints of blood by the end of the episode.
Meanwhile, we learn a lot more about Nurse Hoffell (Kirstie Alley) when she gives a bit of background to how she ended up at the CURE Institute, a job that she clearly hates. It turns out she is is dead-set on ruining the lives of the Chanels as revenge because Chanel killed her sister, Agatha Bean (remember when the Chanel accidentally burned her face off in season 1?). She comes up with a clever plan to ship them off to the deadly infested Blood Island, but her plan is foiled when she books them a business class ticket and not a charter jet. Chanel obviously doesn't do business class. The nerve! Chanel ditches the trip, confirming that Hoffell now hates her more than ever.
Dean Munsch also reveals that she has more than her normal animosity towards Chanel. She has started becoming jealous of her relationship with Dr. Holt. To sway their interest in each other, she announces that Chanel has every STD ever (which is later disproved) but adds insult to injury when Chanel promises that she will get back at Munsch somehow.
On top of all that girl-on-girl scheming, we finally know the identity of one of the Green Meanies. It's Dr. Cassidy, as was hinted to last week. But that is too easy. Hoffell is the one that finds the Green Meanie getting ready to murder Chanel No. 9, aka Goth Chanel, and tells him that she is on his side and wants to be "the brains" behind his murderous operations — if she can stay on to be the muscle. He agrees and rips off his mask and we are greeted with the handsome face of Dr. Cassidy. He tells Hoffell that she is welcome to join, but he still has one question: Who is OTHER Green Meanie?
Yes, we have THREE GREEN MEANIES. That's one more serial killer than last year, and three more than I'm comfortable being around.
In the final scene, Dr. Cassidy realizes that Zayday and Chamberlain (whom Zayday now trusts again) are close to figuring out who he is using the blood drive donation bags at the hospital. He sneaks into the fridge and swaps his blood type (O+) with someone elses (A+). That someone is Dr. Holt, who Munsch openly accuses of being the killer. The episode ends with Dr. Holt's hand finally gaining control of him as he slams his fist down in frustration and anger, knowing full well that he is not the killer.

My Favorite Literary Couples Through the Centuries by Jenny Lee
By: Frolic
[Note from Frolic: We're so excited to welcome author Jenny Lee to the site today! She's talking all about her favorite fictional couples. Take it away, Jenny!]
It makes sense that my answer would be Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky in Tolstoy's masterpiece Anna Karenina, even though their story does not end well. I first read the book as a high school teen before I ever even had the opportunity to fall in love, and I was immediately captivated by their love-and-first-sight romance. The fact that they can't be together because she's married makes it all the more dramatic, and when they finally dance at the ball, she is overcome by his gaze and runs away, back to St. Petersburg.
And then (now figuring you can't get mad at me for spoilers, this book's been around since 1878) Vronsky appears on the train having followed her. When Anna confronts him about his stalker-like behavior, he simply tells her he has no choice but to be wherever she is. This totally killed me, still does. It's definitely my most swoony romantic moment. What I like about it is we get to hear about love from the male perspective. Count Vronsky is an experienced playboy and can have almost any girl he wishes, but upon seeing Anna he falls in love with her immediately and undergoes a transformation that even he doesn't understand. It's very sexy how direct he is when he tells Anna he must be wherever she is… he doesn't hem and haw, he says it simply, as if being in her close proximity is necessary for him to live and breathe. I guess that's the bar for me when it comes to romantic love… as people we want our lovers to feel intensely about us.
Ideally you would love them back in the same way, and Anna does, but she has many obstacles in her path: the time and place where she lives, her role in society, the fact that she's married, the fact that women had no rights at that time, and she was also a mother. She has so much to lose by giving in to her feelings for Vronsky. What I continue to get out of their story is that when faced with a love of this magnitude, neither of them have a choice but to be together. That to me is what makes this love story so epic.
Another reason why the Anna and Vronsky love story works so well in Anna Karenina is because it's counterbalanced by the Levin and Kitty love arc. There are all sorts of love triangles in the book as well, big ones and little ones, so it's kind of like this beautiful kaleidoscopic vision of 19th century Russia. It's the conflicting and contrasting love stories all in one book that really gives such a complete story of the highs and lows of falling in and out of love.
The reason I chose to reimagine Anna Karenina with modern teenagers is that first love is a very explosive, powerful kind of love, like Anna's and Vronsky's, and for a lot of us our first loves happened in high school. Also, as the rules of society are integral to the original book's major themes of responsibility, loyalty and betrayal, high school seemed like the right moment to reexamine Tolstoy's classic characters. Our teen years definitely have a lot of unwritten (and arbitrary) rules, too. In Anna K, I also added a third main love story, Steven and Lolly's relationship, because it's the catalyst for everything that follows and felt like it needed to be brought more into the foreground. It's Steven's cheating on his girlfriend that brings Anna to New York City where she happens to meet Vronsky for the first time before everything gets so complicated. It's a beautifully interwoven, sweeping story with the most complicated and incredible ensemble of characters, and I tried to capture that sort of matrix of emotions that gets set off by Anna and Vronsky's intensity.
Of course, there are other great loves across literature (and cinema). Here are the honorable mentions in no particular order:
Romeo and Juliet— the original star-crossed teens in love!
Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy— played to perfection by Keira Knightley and Matthew McFayden (who's now Tom on Succession!) in Joe Wright's tremendous adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Jenny and Oliver from Erich Segal's Love Story—just really sad at the end there, I kind of don't even want to talk about it L
Kevin Costner and Robin Wright in Message In A Bottle – one of my favorite cheesy love story movies (and I'm not even into boats!)
Lady and the Tramp—any love story that ends with a litter of puppies is gonna make this list J
Clarence Worley and Alabama Whitman in True Romance—only true love can withstand a suitcase full of uncut cocaine and a shootout with the mob, the DEA and a Hollywood producer's armed henchmen.
Jenny Lee's debut YA novel Anna K. A Love Story (Flatiron Books) is out on March 3, 2020 and available at your favorite bookstore, Target and Walmart. She is a TV writer/producer who lives in Los Angeles with her cute husband (Anna K is dedicated to him!) and her even cuter 135 pound Newfound dog named Gemma (who's fictional doppelganger is one of Anna's two Newfy show dogs.) Instagram: @jennyleewrites Web: jennyleewrites.com
Anna K by Jenny Lee, out now!
At seventeen, Anna K is at the top of Manhattan and Greenwich society (even if she prefers the company of her horses and dogs); she has the perfect (if perfectly boring) boyfriend, Alexander W.; and she has always made her Korean-American father proud (even if he can be a little controlling). Meanwhile, Anna's brother, Steven, and his girlfriend, Lolly, are trying to weather an sexting scandal; Lolly's little sister, Kimmie, is struggling to recalibrate to normal life after an injury derails her ice dancing career; and Steven's best friend, Dustin, is madly (and one-sidedly) in love with Kimmie.
As her friends struggle with the pitfalls of ordinary teenage life, Anna always seems to be able to sail gracefully above it all. That is…until the night she meets Alexia "Count" Vronsky at Grand Central. A notorious playboy who has bounced around boarding schools and who lives for his own pleasure, Alexia is everything Anna is not. But he has never been in love until he meets Anna, and maybe she hasn't, either. As Alexia and Anna are pulled irresistibly together, she has to decide how much of her life she is willing to let go for the chance to be with him. And when a shocking revelation threatens to shatter their relationship, she is forced to question if she has ever known herself at all.

Cities initiative
Urban planning saves panda's life
by Svenja Binz
< Go to blog overview
The numbers are alarming: with a population of only about 1,800 left in the wild, the panda has become one of the most endangered species in the world. The giant panda is elementary for Chinese culture and a well-known symbol for wildlife preservation. However, providing adequate protection for this endangered species has long been neglected – until now.
The giant panda is originally native to a region near the city of Chengdu in western China. At the same time, the city of Chengdu is one of the fastest growing cities worldwide. How can urbanisation and conservation become part of a common strategy? The global design firm "Sasaki" has recently revealed one possible answer. Behind the title "Chengdu Panda Reserve" lies an ambitious masterplan. In order to save this highly endangered species from extinction, "Sasaki" proposes a 69-square-kilometer panda reserve. Symbolically, "Chengdu Panda Reserve" represents the beginning of "China's increasing communication, collaboration, and awareness of its pioneering strategies to protect the species and its native habitat".

More than species protection
However, it's not only about species protection. The project expects over 20 million visitors each year – comparable to or even surpassing the number of current annual visitors to Disneyland. The combination of both aspects poses a major challenge for the design, particularly since improving the pandas' reintroduction into the wild is perceived as the project's ultimate aim. Consequently, "Sasaki's" masterplan provides three individual sites that represent a combination of conservation, education and research.
All sites are organised by their primary functions and the projected amount of human interaction and disturbance. The first site, "Beihu Panda Park", works as an extension of the existing "Panda Base" visitor experience centre. It provides a space for urban education where visitors can learn about daily lives and habits of pandas, as well as ongoing research and protection. The first destination is located close to downtown and directly linked to the city by public transport. This makes the project a potentially popular and easily accessible destination for visitors.

The second site, "Dujiangyan Panda Wilderness", provides a much more remote atmosphere. This isolated area is located at the foothills of the Tibetan plateau. Programmatically, the second site focusses on research on breeding techniques and pre-release training of juvenile pandas into the wild.
The third site, "Longquanshan Panda Village", is located near Chengdu's new airport. As a "gateway" into the city, it offers a programme more oriented towards the public. "Panda Village" introduces visitors to Chengdu's conservation efforts and distinctive culture.
Meet a panda in the wild
"Chengdu Panda Reserve" proposes an ambitious masterplan, located somewhere between eco-tourism and tourist attraction. By developing different sites with their very individual programmatical and spatial qualities, it takes on the complex task of understanding urbanisation processes and conservation as a whole. And – who would not want to meet a panda in the wild?

Se procura a planta cultivada, veja tabaco.

Nicotiana L. é um género de plantas herbáceas e arbustos pertencentes à família (Solanaceae), nativo das Américas, Austrália, sudoeste da África e Sul do Pacifico. Várias espécies do género Nicotiana, popularmente conhecidas como tabaco e fumo, são cultivadas para a confecção de cigarro, charuto, rapé e fumo para cachimbo, narguilé e mascar. Entre as espécies cultivadas do gênero, destaca-se a Nicotiana tabacum, a de cultura mais generalizada e dominante na produção comercial de tabacos. O nome do género, bem como o nome da substância nicotina, homenageiam Jean Nicot, enviado francês a Portugal, que, em 1561, introduziu o tabaco na corte francesa e, a partir daí, no resto da Europa.

Ecologia

O género Nicotiana apresenta grande plasticidade ecológica, adaptando-se a uma grande variedade de ecossistema e habitats. Para isso, contribui, em muito, a sua enorme riqueza em alcaloides, os quais constituem um forte obstáculo à herbivoria e ao ataque por insectos.

Contudo, apesar da presença de compostos como a nicotina, o germacreno, a anabasina e outros alcaloides da família da piperidina (com composição e quantidade variáveis entre espécies) capazes de deter a maioria dos herbívoros, existem múltiplas espécies que desenvolveram mecanismos adaptativos que lhe permitem consumir espécies de Nicotiana sem sofrerem danos. Apesar disso, as plantas do género são, em geral, impalatáveis, ou mesmo tóxicas, para a maioria dos animais, razão pela qual algumas delas são espécies invasoras (com destaque para N. glauca) em algumas regiões.

No século XIX, as plantas jovens do tabaco cultivado começaram a ser fortemente atacadas por escaravelhos das espécies Epitrix cucumeris e Epitrix pubescens, o que causou a destruição de metade da colheita de tabaco dos Estados Unidos da América em 1876, situação que se manteve até à década de 1890, quando se generalizaram as técnicas de protecção das culturas contra aqueles organismos.

Entre os lepidópteros, na maioria Noctuidae (mas incluindo alguns Sphingidae), cujas lagartas se alimentam de plantas do género Nicotiana, incluem-se:
 Agrotis ipsilon
 Agrotis segetum
 Amphipyra tragopoginis
 Discestra trifolii
 Endoclita excrescens
 Manduca blackburni
 Manduca sexta
 Manduca quinquemaculata

Power Inverter from Clayton Power handles extreme hardness test
Visit http://www.claytonpower.com for further information
Clayton Power's 12VDC Sine Wave Power Inverter, Model CP1012 - has been through one of the world's toughest tests.
02/28/09, 04:12 AM | Solar & Wind | Clayton Power
The test, used in the aerospace industry, ensures that products do not fail - testing over time and also under extreme working conditions - such as vibrations, hot and cold weather conditions, humidity and water, salt mists and so on.
In the test the inverters are placed in a special tub after which liquid nitrogen is poured over the products. The inverter is then frozen to more than -170 C°. After approximately 10 min. the inverter is put to thawing.
After around one hour the inverter could be handled again, and the inverter was mounted to a battery. Then the inverter was restarted at full load at around 1200W and the inverter slowly began to work itself warm. The water was dripping from the inverter (internal as external), but because of the extensive finish all Clayton Power products have been through, the inverter continued undaunted.
The test ended with an inspection of the inverter. These extreme test are developed to ad so much stress to all systems, circuit boards, components, soldering and so on that damage upon closer inspection will be easily detectable. The Clayton Power inverter only suffered a minor scratch (a crack in the insulation on the primary cables) and was besides completely unaffected by the severe test.
This test enables us to see that the choice of materials can withstand even the highest requirements in the world. Therefore, we can warmly recommend a Clayton Power inverter, which will have no problems with salt mists, humidity and vibrations (which are some of the most common problems within the automotive, marine and industrial sector).

Cahners In-Stat expects the CRM midmarket to total $490 million by the end of this year, with rapid growth starting in 2002. The firm also sees opportunities in the U.S. enterprise market decreasing around 2004, and the midmarket products making up more revenue for CRM vendors.
This trend toward the saturation of the enterprise market is not lost on Siebel, and the company is planning accordingly. Siebels George Ahn estimates that there are about 400,000 target accounts with revenues under $200 million that potentially could use the companys products. Siebel sees about 20 percent of its license revenue from this market and expects it to grow. Ahn is bullish on the service provider delivery model. "Theres a natural fit for the middle market for ASPs," he says.
While Siebels midmarket entries differ architecturally from their siblings in the enterprise product line, they do share the same data model, according to Ahn. "The basics are there—sales force automation, call center and marketing. Weve got several verticals, but you wont see the emphasis on specialization that we have in our enterprise line."
One thing that you will see is a continued series of adjustments in positioning and products by the company in the midmarket space. Case in point: Siebel recently announced support for IBMs DB2 database running on both the AS/400e or the newer iSeries processors.

NPO Zapp is the Dutch children's block from the NPO on NPO 3 that launched as Z@pp on 4 September 2005. Since September 2005, Zappelin has been the name of a block for young children. The @ in the name of the channel was removed on 10 September 2012. On 12 March 2013, the NPO announced that Zapp and Zappelin would be renamed as NPO Zapp and NPO Zappelin. The reason for this change is to make the channels and its programmes more recognizable. The rebranding completed on 19 August 2014. Together with NPO Zappelin it forms a channel called NPO Zappelin Xtra, available online and part of bonus packages (cable, satellite and IPTV).

Well-known programmes of NPO Zapp are Willem Wever (NCRV), Het Klokhuis (NTR), Jeugdjournaal (NOS) and Villa Achterwerk (VPRO).

NPO Zapp had a mascot called The Zappers.
