Breaking Bad has shown itself to be nothing if not enamored of symbolism, so naming an episode "Ozymandias" — after the sonnet by Percy Shelley — is on one level par for the course. It's a brief but haunting poem about the transient nature of power and the way that hubris lays low even the mightiest of rulers. But it's also about the way we create legends in our own image and time, and how stories take on a life of their own. The poem's narrator isn't talking directly about the wrecked statue of Ozymandias, or the now-ironic inscription "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"; he's relaying the fact that he once met a traveler who'd seen these things and who told him about the ruin in the middle of the desert. The legend of Ozymandias outlasted his dominion, and though he ceased being a ruler, he became something far harder to kill: a story, a ghost, an idea to haunt everyone else who would eventually take the throne. When Breaking Bad teased this final half-season with an ad composed of eerie desert shots set to a reading of the poem by Bryan Cranston, the verse's lamentation became even clearer. It's a 14-line epic about the endless life of legends, and all the good and bad that entails.
So: the self-destruction of the powerful, and the way their legends outstrip their dynasties. Two things that are very much a part of Walter White's world.
What's stunning is how, even at this stage, Walt remains able to bifurcate himself and access what appears to be genuine love or sorrow or regret, albeit for mere seconds at a time before those emotions are perverted into something more reckless. For all his threats and posturing, he seemed to really ache for Hank (as did we all), and his breakdown was a reminder that his half-assed plan, whatever it was, was based more on getting Hank to back down than in causing him harm. He even repeatedly told Saul that killing Hank wasn't an option to be considered. But the king, eager to bolster his kingdom, enlisted the help of men whose commitment and ruthlessness he greatly miscalculated. And when the worst happened, Walt focused his self-loathing and anger on an external target, pinning Jesse to the cross for Walt's own deeds. The grimly casual way he set Todd's crew on Jesse — and then, in Jesse's moment of desperation, admitted his complicity in the death of Jesse's former lover — was as terrifying as anything he's ever done.
Similarly, Walt's insane rage at his family, when he lost the last bit of control over his world, was shocking, but the act he put on when he called home — stating again and again that it was his drug empire, that Hank had crossed him and suffered the consequences — seemed a canny way to both take responsibility in the eyes of the cops he had to know were listening in while also shielding his family from any potential guilt by association. He excoriated Skyler for her actions, but his version of her was merely a nag, not the money-laundering assistant he'd helped her become. I could be way off (see again my comments last week about the sheer lunacy of trying to read tea leaves 44 minutes at a time), but it felt like a way to buy his family an out, even as he committed himself to the lonely life of a murderer in hiding. The father and the killer, the hater and the hated, all in one man tearing himself apart one pound of flesh at a time.
And oh, Hank Schrader. The man who started out a cowboy and walked through fire to become natural police. His death was the highest price Walt's yet paid for his crimes, and there was nothing Walt could do to stop the bullet from being fired. Hank's killing was sad and brutal, and worst of all, done at the hand of some hired thug who didn't know or care a thing about the situation other than that he wanted to get his dollar and go home. Walt was left with a pile of money the likes of which most of us will never see, but it was a fraction of everything he'd earned, and all his wealth still couldn't buy his brother-in-law safe passage. After a certain point, Walt's power became so great he stopped understanding how to control it. That was the real beginning of the end. There's always someone else coming along. The man who worked to take out Gus Fring couldn't see he was just as vulnerable to downfall. Hank did the work, hunted his man, and caught the one and only Heisenberg, and for his efforts he was dumped in a hole in the ground in the New Mexico desert. That's the kind of ache the best stories create in you: the pain of watching someone fight so hard and still come to a bad end. Watching Hank fall, and watching Jesse be beaten and caged, is the kind of piercing heartbreak only the best series achieve. These have become real people for us.

Q: What is Ketamine?
A: Ketamine is an FDA approved anaesthetic with a remarkably safe track record in the operating room during surgery, including pediatric surgery. It's on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. Studies conducted internationally and in the US have shown the use of ketamine to be highly effective for the treatment of pain and mood disorders.
Q: Is Ketamine addictive?
A: Over time, ketamine developed a negative stigma because of its use as a street drug. When used within the medical model, numerous studies and our experience has shown that there is essentially no potential for addiction.
Q: How does Ketamine work?
A: Ketamine functions by "resetting" your nervous system, and it triggers the growth of new nerve pathways. It also works as a powerful anti-inflammatory; therefore, ketamine helps with both inflammatory and nerve pain. Ketamine shows excellent success in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and migraines.
Q: Are there any risks associated with Ketamine infusions?
A: The dose of ketamine we use at Limbic Medical is considered sub-anaesthetic (a lower dose than a patient would get for surgery). We make sure all patients are monitored to ensure safety during the infusion. The infusion can quickly be decreased or stopped if necessary.
Q: What does it feel like to have a Ketamine infusion?
A: Once we place the IV (we use the smallest needle possible with advanced numbing techniques), the infusion will begin. We can provide soothing music if requested. The experience is usually described as pleasant and relaxing. You may notice a mild dissociation, a feeling of disorientation, or a floating sensation. Lights or colors may seem more vivid. The infusion itself lasts for only 60 minutes. These feelings start to diminish approximately 10-15 minutes after the infusion is complete. After the infusion, you may feel light-headed for 1-2 hours. We will monitor you after the infusion until you meet our criteria for discharge, at which point you will need a ride home. Unfortunately, we cannot allow our patients to drive themselves after treatment.
Q: What are the possible side effects of Ketamine?
A: Side effects are not common with ketamine infusions, but the most common side effects can include nausea, dizziness, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, abnormal muscle movements, disorientation, redness, bruising, or swelling at the IV site, and allergic reactions. Side effects subside once the infusion stops.
Q: How often do I need to get treated?
A: Many patients feel the benefit after just one ketamine infusion. However, studies and our experience indicates that 4-6 infusions over 2-4 weeks will provide the best efficacy and a longer duration of symptom relief. Maintenance infusions may be necessary on an as-needed basis.
Q: How does Ketamine compare to the alternatives for the treatment of depression?
A: Conventional antidepressant medications tend to be associated with the most adverse drug-related reactions. It can take considerable time to determine the best prescription or combinations of medications, and the effects might not be optimal. Even though each patient responds differently to ketamine, patients will know right away if they are gaining any benefits.
Q: Will my insurance cover ketamine infusions?
A: Although the FDA approves ketamine for some medical purposes, they are not specifically approved for mood disorders and pain management. When ketamine infusions are prescribed for off-label purposes, they are not covered by insurance.
Functional and Nutraceutical Pain Management
Q: Can Functional and Nutraceutical approach help me with my chronic pain?
A: Yes, it can. At Limbic Medical, we focus on the root cause of the pain to help relieve your suffering. If you feel you are taking too many prescription drugs, want a more holistic approach, or wonder which supplements are right for you, Functional and Nutraceutical Pain Management can help.
Opioid-Free Pain Management
Q: Is it possible to live pain-free without opioids?
A: Safe, non-addictive alternatives for alleviating pain do exist. What's more, opioids do a poor job of relieving and managing many common types of pain. Dr. Atoian can help you realize your potential without the use of opioids.
Q: Should I stop opioids before my consultation?
A: Opioid drugs should not be suddenly stopped without supervision and physical and emotional support, as the side effects of opioid withdrawal may be powerful and have dangerous complications. We will use our unique approach to get you off opioids comfortably and compassionately while improving pain control.
Q: Do I need to be hospitalized for Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
A: The majority of Ultrasound-Guided Injections, such as Nerve Blocks, Epidural Injections, and Trigger Point Injections, are performed on an outpatient basis. Some injections are performed on inpatients, who may be already hospitalized for other reasons.
Q: What is a Nerve Block?
A: A Nerve Block injection targets specific nerves to help treat or manage pain. The purpose of the Nerve Block is to "turn off" the pain signal that comes from a particular location in the body or to reduce inflammation in that area.
Q: Can I benefit from a Nerve Block?
A: If you suffer from severe pain, a Nerve Block can help control your pain and improve function and quality of life. A Nerve Block may allow an injured nerve time to heal itself from a state of constant irritation. Additionally, it can help identify a more specific cause of your pain.
Q: What is an Epidural Injection?
A: Epidural Injection is a procedure used to deliver corticosteroid medication around a nerve that comes out from the spinal cord into the epidural space. This is the space into which your disc can potentially herniate (protrude unnaturally) and cause pressure and inflammation around the spinal nerves. Because corticosteroids are medications with strong anti-inflammatory properties, spinal injections of corticosteroids significantly reduce inflammation around an irritated nerve.
Q: Is an Epidural Injection right for me?
A: Several common conditions, such as disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis, may benefit from Epidural Injection. For these and other conditions that can cause acute or chronic pain, Epidural Injection may be an effective non-surgical treatment option.
Q: Is anesthesia used for the Epidural Injection? Will I have pain?
A: We inject a local anesthetic into the skin to numb the area where the epidural needle is placed. You may experience mild discomfort but not severe pain.
Q: What are Trigger Point Injections?
A: Trigger points are extremely common. They are tight "knots" that are painful when pressed on and have a special property called referred pain. Referred pain is when the trigger point of one muscle creates pain in another area. A Trigger Point Injection can help soothe the muscle by injecting a small amount of anesthetic and steroid into the muscle.
Q: Who should receive Trigger Point Injections?
A: Specific trigger points that cause pain with firm touch may experience the most relief from injections. Although Trigger Point Injections are beneficial for many painful conditions, they may be particularly helpful for the relief of migraines and pain in the neck, back, and shoulders.
STEM CELL INJECTIONS
Q: Am I a candidate for Stem Cell Injections?
A: You may be a candidate for Stem Cell Injections if you are diagnosed with mild-to-moderate degenerative joint disease, tears of the ligament or cartilage tissue, tendonitis, or any musculoskeletal injury that is not responding to conservative treatments such as physical therapy and pain medications; and you would prefer to avoid or postpone the need for surgery.
Q: What areas do you treat?
A: Some of the most common include tennis elbow, shoulder pains or rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, osteoarthritis knee pain, Achilles tendon injuries, and ACL injuries.
Q: How many Stem Cell Injections will I need?
A: The benefits of Stem Cell Injections start immediately. Most patients will need to receive treatments for anywhere between 1 week to 3 months. After 1 to 2 treatments, most patients experience a reduction in pain, improved mobility, and better overall functionality.
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) INJECTIONS
Q: What conditions are treated with PRP?
A: PRP Injections can treat several conditions for the arm, shoulder, hip, knee, lower leg, and feet. We treat acute muscle tears and strains, chronic tendinopathies (tennis elbow, rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, and patellar tendon), ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, and more. However, it's best to consult with Dr. Atoian for a complete listing.
Q: Why use PRP Injections?
A: PRP Injections are an alternative to surgery. If you prefer a less invasive option to surgery or are unable to undergo a surgery, you may be an ideal candidate for PRP Injections.
Q: How does PRP work?
A: Upon injection, a large number of growth factors are released at the site of injury. These platelets induce an inflammatory response that initiates healing. The platelets can restore tendons and ligaments as well as strengthen cartilage, allowing it to become firmer and more resilient.
Q: How quickly does PRP work?
A: Patients usually tolerate the PRP Injection well. Soreness after the PRP Injection is normal due to the PRP-induced inflammatory response. Swelling and soreness are expected during the first 48 hours post injection, and you are given appropriate instructions to help alleviate the discomfort.
HORMONE OPTIMIZATION
Q: What are bioidentical hormones?
A: Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and mimic the structure and function of those your body naturally produces. All prescriptions are created in a US regulated compounding pharmacy that follows strict regulations in regards to dosage and sterile procedure. Each hormone prescription is created to treat your specific needs.
Q: How long before I can start seeing results?
A: This varies with each person. You can start to see results in 3 to 4 weeks, such as increase or improvement in libido, energy, sleep, moods, and an overall heightened sense of well-being. It's what you can't see that really makes a difference; research shows that hormone optimization, along with diet and exercise, decreases your risk factors for disease in the future.
Q: How are the hormones administered?
A: At Limbic Medical, we use a combination of oral preparations, creams, and injectables.
Q: How long will I be on hormone replacement therapy?
A: For hormone deficiencies due to aging, you should continue hormone replacement therapy for as long as you wish to see results.
Q: What happens when I stop the program?
A: In general, your body's hormone levels will return to the pre-treatment baseline within 3 to 6 weeks after stopping hormone replacement. As a result, most physical changes that occurred with treatment will revert back.
Hydration and Vitamin Therapies
Q: Is IV Hydration right for me?
A: IV Hydration therapy can help balance your fluid and electrolytes and benefit a variety of conditions, including withdrawal symptoms, flu, cold, food poisoning, digestive disorders, and more.
We can also tailor your infusion by adding vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or antioxidants for pain, addiction, mood disorders, migraines, nutritional deficiencies, immune support, fatigue, athletic performance, and preventative and wellness care, among others.
Q: How does IV Vitamin Therapy work?
A: IV Vitamin Therapy works by infusing nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system. This provides you with 100% bioavailability of the nutrients. Oral supplements may only provide you with about 20% absorption after filtering through your digestive system.
Q: How long does IV Vitamin Therapy last?
A: There are many factors that determine how long an IV Vitamin Therapy will last. Some vitamins remain in your system and maintain your levels for 2-3 weeks, while others will require a more frequent infusion.
Q: How often should I have IV Vitamin Therapy?
A: We determine the frequency of IV Vitamin Therapy on a patient-by-patient basis. For health and wellness IV therapy, we may recommend two drips per month to help balance any deficiencies. In some cases, with people suffering from addiction, pain, or mood disorders, a series of weekly infusions may be necessary for support.
Q: What is NAD+?
A: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme to vitamin B-3, is found in every cell in the body and is essential to life. As a foundation for maintaining healthy organs and neurological systems.
Q: Why is IV NAD+ used for addiction and mood disorders?
A: NAD+ can help repair cells throughout the body, including neurons in the brain, especially when given as a high dose directly through your bloodstream.
Drugs and alcohol deplete the natural stores of NAD+. Because of this, the brain cannot receive the same energy it usually would from breaking down food. It is also speculated that people who naturally produce less NAD+ are more likely to develop an addiction and potentially a co-occurring condition.
Q: Is IV NAD+ safe?
A: Yes. IV NAD+ is completely safe and administered by our licensed providers.
Q: What is Glutathione?
A: Glutathione is your body's master antioxidant—it detoxifies, protects, energizes, and boosts your immune system. Antioxidants are powerful molecules that minimize or prevent oxidative stress, which can be damaging to cells throughout your body.
Q: Is IV Glutathione safe?
A: Yes. Glutathione naturally occurs in the body and is administered by our licenced providers.
Q: Why is IV Glutathione more effective than oral Glutathione?
A: Oral Glutathione gets broken down by enzymes in your digestive tract making it less effective; therefore, the only way to increase your levels is via IV Glutathione or by increasing levels of its precursors.
Integrative Addiction Treatments
Q: Why is Integrated Addiction Treatment effective?
A: Integrated Addiction Treatment combines conventional, alternative therapies, and cutting-edge technology to search for and treat the underlying causes of addiction and co-occurring disorders. Instead of focusing on and treating the substance abuse problem alone, Limbic Medical takes a holistic approach that includes evaluation of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, spiritual, and lifestyle elements
Q: Should I try to detox before I make an appointment?
A: Addictive substances, such as drugs and alcohol, should not be suddenly stopped without supervision and physical and emotional support, as the side effects of withdrawal may be powerful and have dangerous complications. We will use our unique approach to get you off drugs and alcohol comfortably and compassionately while improving pain control.
Q: Is an Integrative Addiction Treatment right for me even though I've tried to quit before?
A: Many of our patients tell us that they have tried to stop before coming to Limbic Medical for treatment, but the pain was too great, and they resumed taking the substance they were trying to quit. We can help you with a safe, comfortable, and pain-free medically-assisted detox.
Q: What substances need a medically-assisted detox?
A: Substances that need a safe, medically-assisted withdrawal include, but not limited to:
Prescription opioid narcotics
Q: How long does detox take?
A: There's no easy one-size-fits-all answer for this question. The time that each person needs to thoroughly detox varies depending on several factors: method of detox, substance or combination of substances, how long the substance has been used, and other health conditions. Dr. Atoian can help you determine which method is best for you.
Q: Are counseling or psychiatric services a part of Integrative Addiction Treatments?
A: Dr. Atoian takes a comprehensive integrative approach to addiction treatment and will work with your psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, pain specialist, and general doctor to create a plan specific to your needs.

Dr. Bonnie Henry says B.C. will aim for 'gradual' easing of restrictions
'But all bets are off if things change'

Dr. Bonnie Henry told reporters in the May 17 coronavirus briefing that vaccination rates are increasing in BC but that it is too early to make changes.Cafe Medina/Facebook
Are you looking forward to dining indoors, travelling and live concerts?
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry told reporters in Monday's (May 17) daily coronavirus briefing that vaccination rates are increasing across the province but that it is still too early to make any significant changes to existing health measures.
"Whether there's going to be a fourth wave -- we know that this virus takes advantage anytime we give people who are susceptible the means to be transmitted," she noted.
"We're starting to see our curve come down, even as more and more people are protected through vaccination. But all bets are off if things change."
While the number of new daily cases of the virus has decreased over the past couple of weeks, Henry said the infection rates are still too high and more people need to be immunized before health officials will consider easing restrictions.
That said, health officials may consider easing restrictions in the weeks to come. However, the restrictions won't all ease up all at once and several factors will be considered. Instead, the restrictions will be lifted gradually.
Health Minister Adrian Dix added that "We are not yet ready to make any changes to the current provincial health orders and they will remain in place through the upcoming long weekend.
"This means we all still need to stay local, stay small and use all of our safety layers."

Beer In Art #118: Frank Waller's Harvesting Hops
March 13, 2011 By Jay Brooks
This week's work of art is by New York artist Frank Waller, a founding member of the Art Students' League in 1875. The painting, Harvesting Hops Near Cooperstown, New York, was completed in 1884 and today hangs in the Fenimore Art Museum.
The Fenimore also has a short biography of Waller:
A nineteenth century American painter, educator and etcher, Frank Waller (1842-1923) began his career as a businessman. In 1870, however, he traveled to Rome to study art under John G. Chapman. For the next several years Waller traveled extensively in both Europe and Egypt. Upon his return to the United States he became a founding member of New York's influential Art Students' League (1875) and served as its first president. As well, Frank Waller served as honorary secretary of the Egypt Exploration Fund Society. He was also a noted architect and a Fellow of both the Academy of Design and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Raging wildfire scorches 16,000 acres in Northern California's wine county
Posted 6:29 AM, October 25, 2019, by CNN Wire, Updated at 06:49AM, October 25, 2019
A raging wildfire that forced massive evacuations in Northern California scorched thousands of acres in hours — and is expected to keep growing.
The Kincade Fire ignited Wednesday night in Sonoma County, and burned 16,000 acres by Thursday night. It was fueled in part by high winds that had already prompted California electric utilities to intentionally cut power to thousands of residents.
The blaze had claimed 49 structures by Thursday afternoon, Cal Fire said. It was unclear how many of those lost were homes.
Approximately 1,300 personnel are fighting the fire, which was 5% contained.
While the winds had started to die down by Thursday afternoon, officials said, an estimated 2,000 residents were still under evacuation orders.
Among the communities under mandatory evacuation order was the entirety of Geyserville, about 80 miles north of San Francisco. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office told residents Thursday morning to leave after the fire crossed Highway 128, heading west.
"If you're in Geyserville," the sheriff's office said, "leave now."
Fire comes during intentional power outages
The fire erupted the same day that California's largest utility started another round of intentional power cuts to prevent its equipment from sparking wildfires. It is burning near the outage footprint in Sonoma County, Pacific Gas & Electric officials said.
PG&E said in an incident report that a transmission line failed Wednesday about 9:20 p.m. local time.
The utility had a worker out Thursday morning inspecting the line when fire personnel pointed out an apparently broken jumper on a tower. The location on the report is near where the blaze began.
The transmission lines were still active because wind speeds of concern for those are higher than for distribution lines, the company said.
The fire started at 9:27 p.m. Wednesday and the cause is still under investigation, Cal Fire has said.
The latest blackouts will continue at least through Thursday in parts of 17 counties, including Sonoma's wine country. Red flag warnings are in place for more than 25 million people in Northern and Southern California, which means soaring temperatures, low humidity and strong winds will increase fire dangers.
Winds are expected to die down in Northern California by the afternoon, CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said, but could pick back up on Sunday.
Another big wind event is forecast later Thursday for Southern California, Myers said, where gusts could reach up to 65 mph.
"One spark will take a fire a long way," Myers warned.
Southern California Edison (SCE), another utility in that part of the state, shut off power to more than 15,000 customers in Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties.
Farther south, more than 320 customers in Descanso and Alpine lost power after San Diego Gas & Electric turned it off, citing "high winds and dangerous weather conditions."
Blaze burned 5,000 acres in three hours
The Kincade Fire torched more than 5,000 acres within first three hours, Sonoma County Sheriff's Sgt. Juan Valencia said. At that rate, a football field would be burned every three seconds, according to CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller.
The blaze started in the area of the Geysers geothermal plant in Geyserville. The company that operates the plant, Calpine, "de-energized" its local power line system before the fire started, Calpine vice president of external affairs Brett Kerr said in a statement to CNN.
As the fire burned, winds gusted up to 76 mph nearby, the National Weather Service said.
The sheriff urged residents to heed those evacuation orders, not only for their safety, but for firefighting efforts.
"It helps us to fight the fire," he said, "rather than have to rescue someone from their home."
Ash was "falling like snow," early Thursday in the burn zone, fire data scientist Nicholas McCarthy tweeted, referring to the burned residue as "pyrometeors."
In October 2017, the Tubbs Fire ravaged tens of thousands of acres in Sonoma County and killed nearly two dozen people. In Santa Rosa alone, a fire wiped out thousands of homes in the city roughly 50 miles northwest of San Francisco.
Old Water Fire threatens Southern California
Another fire in San Bernardino County in Southern California prompted mandatory evacuation orders for at least 80 homes, according to the San Bernardino National Forest Service.
The Old Water Fire broke out around 2 a.m. Thursday and spread to about 75 acres within a few hours, the forest service said.
Firefighters were making progress, the forest service said, and containment was at 30%.
Approximately 400 personnel were fighting the Old Water Fire, aided by 50 fire engines and a helicopter.

Very nice and welcome The "golf balls" sound is most likely your rear control arms. I just did mine and it makes a big difference. Pretty easy to do and it won't mess up your alignment. I used the 997 part and bought it on Amazon.
Thanks! Glad to hear there is a solution for this. Looking forward to it.


You might be thinking, "No problem! Just open all your windows from one original window and then use the 'opener' property of each new window to refer back to the parent window. Right?" That will work, but only for Netscape clients. Unfortunately, most versions of Internet Explorer don't support the opener property at all. So, what we need is a browser-independent way of letting our windows talk to one another.
How does a parent window allow its children to access its contents? Listings 1 and 2 provide the answer.
So, how do we check if a file is loaded and parsed? Well, you might be tempted to use the "onLoad" event handler. Unfortunately, true to it's name, this only tells you when a file is loaded; actually getting the information in the file parsed into a DOM equivalent can take several seconds more. The most reliable way I've found to check if a file is loaded and parsed is to place a "dummy" form at the end of my documents and then examine the length of the document.forms array. For example, if the main form occurs early in your document and you place a dummy form at the end, when the length of document.forms becomes greater than 1 you know that not only has the dummy form been loaded and parsed, but that everything before it (including your main form) has been loaded and parsed as well!
We begin checking the state of our link by using the onLoad event handler. This handler is a function that simply compares myParent with self. If they are the same, we don't have a link and we use setTimeout() to try again two seconds later. If they are not the same, however, then we know that myParent now contains a reference to our parent window and we set the linked variable to true.
To test the link, I've placed a simple form on the child page. If you type your first and last name into this form and then click the provided button, the passInfo() function will be called. This function first checks the linked variable to see if our link has been established. If not, it displays an alert that tells the user to try again in a few seconds. If the link has been established, it passes the entire form object to the showInfo() function in the parent window. This function simply extracts the information in the form object and displays it in an alert window.
In these two simple files, we've seen several interesting techniques. Arguably the most useful technique here is the ability to determine when an HTML file has finished loading. Over the years, I've found use after use for this little trick, and new uses seem to present themselves with each new project.
Almost as important is the ability to communicate in both directions between a parent window and its children.

Q: Unity integration with AWS 'InvalidDataException' exists in both 'AWSSDK.Core, Version=3.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' and 'netstandard, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' - This is the error that appears when I import any package of AWS SDK into my unity project. Every steps in AWS SDK is followed correctly. Is there any suggestion to overcome this error? Or any other methods to make connection between AWS and unity? Feedbacks are welcomed.

A: I've never used AWS, but have been using Firebase for years and have encountered that error several times.
A solution I think is to delete one of the two: either "AWSSDK.Core" or "netstandard".
Since they are both critical to you, try the alternative route: Does that message refer to some script where that property is called? Could you cast that line of code?
Also check if AWSSDK.Core is up to date.
if you think my answer helped you, you can mark it as accepted and vote positively. I would very much appreciate it :)

On Wednesday, May 31, 2017, Jonathan Peri, President of Manor College and Dr. Stephen Grieco, Vice President of Academic Affairs met via Skype with Igor Tsependa, Rector and Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Vice Rector of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine to sign a first of its kind partnership agreement connecting the two institutions for collaborations.
President Peri and Dr. Stephen Grieco, Vice-President of Academic Affairs at the partnership Skype signing with Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.
For Manor College, being America's only institution of higher education that was founded by Ukrainians, being founded by The Sisters of Saint Basil the Great in 1947 – this partnership is opening the door for unlimited opportunities of global partnership with other institutions from Ukraine and around the world. This partnership also means that both institutions are to stay connected and in open communication with one another about upcoming events, programs and campaigns – with the hope that administration, faculty and staff from both institutions can be of some assistance to one another in terms of promotion and idea sharing. Manor College welcomes Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University to their Manor family and is excited to be considered the American hub for Ukrainian institutional partnerships worldwide.
President Peri signs the agreement that makes Manor College an official partner with Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, a Ukrainian institution.
On October 26, 2017, Manor College will be hosting a Ukrainian Dialogue titled, "Ukraine – America's Relationship & Moral Obligation" with Congressmen Brian Fitzpatrick and Brendan Boyle. On the same date the college will be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony to unveil the newly renovated Ukrainian Heritage Studies Museum which will include the Maria Mazur Pysanky collection. All are invited to attend the dialogue and ribbon cutting, including Manor's new partner, Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.

Q: Reorganizing data I have to input a text file that contains comma seperated and line seperated data in the following format:

Multiple sets of such data is present in the text file
I need to print all this in new lines with the condition:
1st 3 elements of every set followed by 5 parameters in a new line. So solution of the above set would be:

A002,R051,02-00-00,05-21-11,08:00:00,REGULAR,003169431,001097607

My function to achieve it is given below:
def fix_turnstile_data(filenames):
    for name in filenames:
        f_in = open(name, 'r')
        reader_in = csv.reader(f_in, delimiter = ',')

        writer_out = csv.writer(f_out, delimiter = ',')

        array=[]
        for line in reader_in:
            i = 0
            j = -1
            while i < len(line):
                if i % 8 == 0:
                    i+=2
                    j+=1
                    del array[:]
                    array.append(line[0])
                    array.append(line[1])
                    array.append(line[2])

                elif (i+1) % 8 == 0:
                    array.append(line[i-3*j])
                    writer_out.writerow(array)

                else:
                    array.append(line[i-3*j])

                i+=1

        f_in.close()
        f_out.close()

The output is wrong and there is a space of 3 lines at the end of those lines whose length is 8. I suspect it might be the  writer_out.writerow(array) which is to blame.
Can anyone please help me out?

A: Hmm, the logic you use ends up being fairly confusing. I'd do it more along these lines (this replaces your for loop), and this is more Pythonic:
for line in reader_in:
    header = line[:3]
    for i in xrange(3, len(line), 5):
        writer_out.writerow(header + line[i:i+5])

Abstract: Prediction of the final dopant positions after ion implantation has always been strongly influenced by the choice of stopping models. A molecular dynamics (MD) method is used in this work; the nuclear stopping is treated by accurate pair potentials calculated by density functional theory (DFT). The slowing down due to collisions with electrons will be described by both a non-local semi-empirical model and a local model based on Fermi level phase shift factors. Comparisons with experimental data using both models show that a local pair-specific electronic stopping model is essential in accurately predicting range profiles for any element even at low implant energies where nuclear effects are dominant. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

I've been watching folks discuss RFSPACE's Vivaldi antenna's on Twitter a lot over the past few weeks and became interested in witnessing the performance of this type of antenna for myself, but I can never catch them with any in stock. So I decided to make a few of my own to use with my N3 SDR, AirSpy Mini, and RTL-SDRs.
I searched high and low online for some designs to use with no luck. So, like I normally do, I jump right in and see how bad I can screw it up on my own!
At a recent hamfest I aquired a good amount of different sized copper PCB for nearly nothing ($10 for roughly ~20 lbs or so of boards). I originally made the designs to use with the toner transfer method, but was convinced by Adam to try the scissor/cutout method. Among all that PCB were some 25.5cm x 18cm "scissor cut" boards that would be a good start. My initial target is for the L-Band, Inmarsat and Irridium primarily, and work up from there.
I've downloaded several PDF's on the subject of Vivaldi's and their types and designs but have yet to read them. I jumped right in using Gimp and Paint as that is what I had available at the time. The files below may or may not work at my targeted frequencies, but a person has to start somewhere. I'll do some reading on those PDFs this week.
Contructive cristicism is more than welcome in the comments.
File sizes on the two larger ones at 18cm x 25cm, you may want to reduce them in your image program to suite your material or frequency needs. I'd smooth the internal edges out at production time, depending on your method. I'll add better designed ones in the future, so check back if interested.
1 Comment on "Vivaldi Antenna Cutouts or Transfers for SDR"
I am also trying to receive L band Inmarsat TX, my patch works okay but this one looks good too.
The dimensions for the middle cutout works out as 105cm high by 145cm long when I print it out, is this correct?


Functions – The restaurant has two dining halls one at either side of the central lounge area. The largest of the two has a raised stage and dance area and can be used for private functions such as weddings anniversaries, parties etc and Zaff can help plan the menu. There is no charge to hire the room and customers can arrange their own dj and entertainment.The smaller dining room is also spacious and features a large, specially designed fountain which is obviously a talking point with customers.
The lounge bar is a comfortable area where diners can sit with a pre dining drink while browsing the menu or take their coffee after a meal. Smoking isnt allowed in the dining room but customers are permitted to smoke in the lounge.


The global IT and BPO service delivery has been undergoing a drastic transformation. Global IT-BPO buyers are increasingly demanding services that place customer experience at the core of their service delivery. This has led to a rapid adoption of new technologies like automation and artificial intelligence, which significantly improves customer experience, and also reduces the demand for traditional IT-BPO services. IT-BPO service providers in nearshore markets are adapting to these developments by moving towards newer models based on omni-channel service delivery, delivering digital and creative services, cloud solutions, flexible pricing models, etc.
CX Week Canada 2017 convenes Canadian customer experience leaders spanning industries to benchmark strategies to strengthen customer relationships and deliver competitive edge through differentiated experience delivery.

Q: Detecting changes in a JavaScript class property? Assume you have this class:
class Foo {
  constructor() {
    this.count = 0
  }
  increaseCountEventually() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.count += 1
    }, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000))
  }
}

Then you create an instance of this class:
const foo = new Foo()

Then you call the increaseCountEventually method which will, at some random point in time, increment the value of its property this.count:
foo.increaseCountEventually()

So, in a few milliseconds count will increase by 1. Is there a trick to listen for changes in the count property of the foo instance? Something like an event listener, where the event would be the change of the count property. Something like this (pseudo-code):
// A bit like DOM events
foo.addEventListener('property count changes', () => console.log('it changed!'))

// Or, in other terms:
foo.listenForCountChange(() => console.log('it changed!')

I could use setInterval and check every millisecond or so to see if count has changed, but I'm looking for a more efficient way. I read about using a "Proxy" but not sure how that would work.

A: Javascript Proxy are meant to be used on Objects. If its okay to convert count into an object or keep an object called data with property count then you could add a proxy with a set trap
In your case however, you could modify increaseCountEventually to accept a function like so
increaseCountEventually(callback) {
    setTimeout((callback) => {
      this.count += 1,
      callback();
    }, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000))
  }

A: Another fairly way to monitor property updates is to store the external property under another name internally, say _count for count, and then use the external property name to set up a setter/getter pair. The setter can take whatever action is needed when the value is updated. E.G.:

class Foo {
  constructor() {
    this._count = 0; // internal property name
  }
  increaseCountEventually() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.count += 1
    }, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000))
  }
  set count(value) { // external property name
    this._count = value;
    console.log( `count setter set _count to ${value}`);
  }
  get count() {
    return this._count;
  }
}

const foo = new Foo();
console.log("foo.count = %s", foo.count);
foo.increaseCountEventually()
setTimeout( ()=>console.log("foo.count = %s", foo.count), 2000);

By default the _count property would be enumerable on class instances, and not write protected. The constructor could add _count as a non-enumerable property if so desired, along the lines of:
constructor() {
  // make _count non enumerable:

  Object.defineProperty(this, '_count', {
     value: 0,
     enumerable: false,
     writable: true
  });
}

Who Red Simpson
When January 8, 2016
Where Bakersfield, CA
What Red Simpson dies at 81; musician's trucker songs helped drive the Bakersfield sound
Red Simpson, Bakersfield musician and Dust Bowl migrant whose 1971 country hit "I'm a Truck" helped propel a national enthusiasm for romantic truck-driving lore, has died.
He died Friday in Bakersfield after suffering complications from a heart attack, said his daughter Mechelle "Missy" Simpson of Pensacola, Fla. He was 81.
Bob Dylan once described Simpson as "the forgotten man of the Bakersfield sound." He never attained the stature of Merle Haggard, with whom he co-wrote songs, or Buck Owens, who sang some of his best, notably "Close Up the Honky Tonks."
But he was their friend and collaborator, and scored his own moderate hits performing "Roll Truck Roll" in 1966 (written by Tommy Collins), followed by "I'm a Truck" (written by Bob Staunton), and several other quasi-novelty trucking songs.
The Simpsons arrived in Bakersfield in 1937. Young Red � nicknamed for his red hair � mowed lawns and shined shoes. He graduated from Bakersfield High.
He trained as a sheet-metal worker but "always played music," his daughter said. He mastered piano, fiddle and guitar. Aboard a Navy hospital ship during the Korean War, he formed a shipboard band.
At Bakersfield's now-legendary Blackboard Club, where Haggard played in a house band, Simpson helped forge a more twangy, edgier alternative to the then-dominant Nashville country sound.
The Bakersfield sound, as it came to be called, channeled the distinct agri-industrial working culture of the Central Valley and incorporated flourishes of rock and Latin music. Simpson epitomized the working-class elements of this classic California music.
In Bakersfield, working-class life revolved around State Route 99. Although Simpson never drove a truck, except for an ice cream truck (he was fired for giving children free ice cream, his daughter said), big rigs were the lifeblood of his highway hometown.
So when Capitol Records invited him to record truck-driving songs in Los Angeles, he jumped at the chance.
For many years after, he lent his songwriting skills and his woody baritone voice to songs of lonesome renegades thundering down endless highways.
When he crooned, "Another 80 miles and I'm sure lonesome," his voice seemed to vibrate with the road; when he rumbled "I'm a truck" it seemed the sort of voice a truck might have.
The truck-driving ballads that flashed through country music in the 1960s and early 1970s eventually fueled a popular-culture craze for trucking, culminating in a brief CB radio fad. Simpson also produced a record based on the lives of police officers.
He performed up until the last weeks of his life, making twice-weekly regular appearances at Bakersfield clubs to appreciative and mostly elderly audiences, his daughter said. "He never met a stranger � the man had a walking heart," his daughter said.
He had just completed a new album to be released this year, "Soda Pops and Saturdays."
Of one of his love songs, Times critic Randy Lewis wrote: "It's the kind that's almost vanished from mainstream country: unflinchingly honest, filled with a soul-deep heartache that doesn't magically vanish in a cheery final chorus."
Simpson was divorced twice. Besides his daughter, he is survived by his wife, Joyce Simpson; a son, David Simpson, of Bakersfield; sister Minnie Robertson of Salem, Ore.; three stepchildren; 14 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his daughter Lori Mitchell of Bakersfield.

Candlelight Vigil to Honor Memory of Four Undergraduates
Enhanced mental health support, relaxed COVID-19 rules, and other changes announced.

A candlelight vigil will be held on Tuesday in memory of the four undergraduates who have died this academic year, President Philip J. Hanlon '77 announced in an email that he, Provost Joseph Helble, and the Dartmouth school deans sent today to students, faculty, staff, and the families of undergraduates.
The email also announced increased mental health services, relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, extensions on end-of-term options for undergraduates, and a new partnership with a nonprofit foundation that promotes suicide prevention and emotional health.
"We are a community in mourning. We are grieving the loss of friends and family members and yearning for the lives we enjoyed before the COVID-19 pandemic began. The challenges we have faced have often seemed overwhelming and relentless. The promise of widespread vaccination gives us hope, yet many of us are also exhausted and anxious," said the email.
In addition to Hanlon and Helble, the email was signed by school deans Alexis Abramson, Duane Compton, Jon Kull '88, Kathryn Lively, Matt Slaughter, and Elizabeth Smith.
The message comes after the death on Wednesday of Elizabeth Reimer '24, who died at her home in Holtsville, N.Y. Lamees Kareem '22 died in April and a month earlier, Connor Tiffany '24 died. Beau DuBray '24 died in November.
The Dartmouth leaders wrote that the growing mental health crisis that existed before the onset of the pandemic was exacerbated by COVID-19.
"On this critical issue, we must do more to support our community," the senior leaders wrote.
New Initiatives Beginning Today
In response to suggestions from the undergraduate Student Assembly, Dartmouth has added a second nurse to the on-call staffing at the Dartmouth College Health Service, beginning today, to take incoming calls and answer questions. The addition will minimize the chance that calls are routed to voice mail when any student contacts the health service.
Also, two new counselors and a student wellness coordinator will be added to the health service as soon as possible to expand mental health services for all students. The three positions are designed to enhance campus-wide mental health and wellness outreach for all students. The counselors will be able to increase suicide-prevention training and the clinical capacity for individual therapy. The student-wellness coordinator will promote awareness, culture change, and skill building, particularly in student residential communities.
Relaxing COVID-19 Restrictions
The changes will allow all students to host in their dorm rooms two guests who also reside on campus, for a total of three people in a room, allowing for 3 feet of physical distancing. With more than 50% of students, faculty, and staff in the area who have approved campus access having been vaccinated, students will now be allowed to gather indoors and outdoors in informal groups of up to nine people. They may also schedule formal gatherings for up to 25 individuals.
"We encourage you to reach out to one another and make plans to get together," said the email.
Details on Tuesday's Vigil
It's expected that many will gather at the vigil on Tuesday, which will begin at 8 p.m. on the Green. Also on Tuesday, Baker Tower will go dark, with the exception of the green light at the top of the tower. And, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Baker bells will chime every hour in memory of the four students who have died this year, and in recognition of the losses suffered by so many. College Chaplain Daveen Litwin will collaborate with students who wish to be involved in planning the ceremony.
End-of-Term Adjustments for Undergraduates
Two new options have been put in place for undergraduates who are concerned about their ability to meet their academic obligations this term. They have more time in which to elect the non-recording grade option, which will last through June 2, the last day of classes. And the deadline to request an incomplete grade in a course, following the normal process, has been extended to 4:30 p.m. on June 11 for all students who are not graduating. (Students with pending incompletes are not eligible to graduate.) Students are advised to consult their undergraduate dean and faculty members about seeking incompletes.
Dartmouth to Work With JED Foundation
The new partnership with the nationally recognized JED Foundation will see the launch of a four-year program to protect emotional health and promote suicide prevention for teens and young adults. The foundation will guide Dartmouth through a process of systemic and enduring change.
Said the email, "We will build the interdisciplinary campus team of students, faculty, and staff, including senior leadership, to guide this process and to conduct our institutional baseline assessment." The initiative will begin in the fall with the administration of a student survey, to be repeated four years later to assess progress.
"One of the hallmarks of our small, close-knit community is our capacity to care for one another," wrote the senior leaders. "Please take a moment to reach out to someone you may not know well and ask how they are doing, think about how you can make another person's burden a little lighter, and make a point of giving a friend or colleague the encouragement they need to manage a difficult day. We are Dartmouth, and we are here for each other."

Women Rule the Ivies
President-elect Sian Leah Beilock is featured in a story about how six Ivy League universities will have female presidents this fall. "It's important to show that different people can take on leadership roles at any institution," she says.


The title of the painting is simply "Red Willows, Oakley." I thought about naming it something quaint like "Over the River and Through the Woods," but it seemed a little too facile for a painting packed with gut-wrenching emotion...and echoes of hope. The flash of red on the left signifies life and love and hurt and heartache—the stuff of mortality. Yet the light at the top refuses to be doused by the encroaching shadows.
Seven years ago we made a frequent trek to visit our son in Oakley. The scene and the setting were a combination of hurt and hope. Sometimes it would rip my heart out to make this drive. And then I'd cross this river and see these saturated red willows on the banks, and think, "Yes, this is life, right here. We're in the intense phase, these willows and I." I'd remember that even in a season that's barren and grey, God gives us an injection of color. And then I'd see the light flooding over the hills and grazing the treetops and sparkling on the water, and think, "We're going to survive this. We really are." And we did.
This is the second-to-last version of this painting, Only those who see the original in person will be able to see how I finished it.
This one's in tomorrow's show too. It's called "Secret Garden," and is meant to capture not only the feeling of the Secret Garden in children's literature, but also the joy of moving out of darkness and into a place of light. This one also speaks to me on a deep level.
Opening Reception: November 12, 5-8 p.m.

Owner Saves 9-Week-Old Puppy After It Gets Attacked By A Python
.	 Published on December 8, 2020. 0
There is nothing scarier than watching your dog get attacked by a hidden predator. Unfortunately, that exact scenario played out for one unfortunate dog owner.
While outside, a nine-week-old puppy was attacked by a python that was hiding inside some bushes. The incident occurred in Slippy Downs, which is a suburb of the region known as the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
The dog's owner managed to capture the entire attack on security footage. In the terrifying footage, the large python is seen emerging from a bush as the little German shepherd/Staffordshire bull terrier mix was making his way around the garden. The owner, Michelle van Schouwen, was inside the home with her daughter when their little puppy was attacked.
The pup, Jasper, was caught in the serpent's grasp. Michelle shared with 7NEWS Sydney that she froze upon seeing the giant snake coiled around Jasper. After a moment of shock, Michelle sprung into action and started to beat the snake with what she could find on hand: a cardboard Christmas wrapping paper roll. The snake still wouldn't release Jasper, so she resorted to grabbing the snake with her bare hands.
She shared her tale with the news outlet, recounting, "At first, it was just that panic. I was just spinning around, and then I noticed Jasper flying through the air, and then instantly my brain kicked into gear and I'm like, 'oh my goodness, I have to stop.'"
Michelle's brave actions eventually got the snake to drop its attention from Jasper. The reptile released the little pup from its grasp. And Jasper quickly ran away from the scene. He was okay except for a bite that he suffered on his ear. Thankfully, he's since recovered from his ordeal. But the experience of it all has left Michelle and her family a little shaken.
She further told 7NEWS Sydney that it has made her think twice about the safety of their yard. She said they wouldn't have let him outside if they knew there was a snake lurking nearby. Of course, this wasn't the case and she has noted that they will often check outside to make sure that the coast is clear for their pooch to wander around in the yard.
As the Queensland Government has shared, these carpet species of pythons are known to grow as large as 13 feet in length. And because they've got olive-brown scales, they're adept at camouflaging themselves really well. These snakes are most active during the night time and they are known to eat small animals like rats, possums, and birds. And apparently, they'll even chance a puppy! Luckily for Jasper, his owner was able to save him!

NC State will have to take better advantage of scoring opportunities against Clemson
You don't win friends with field goals.
By Steven Muma@akulawolf Oct 16, 2018, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: NC State will have to take better advantage of scoring opportunities against Clemson
Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images
NC State leads FBS in third down conversion rate at 60.9% this season, and also leads the country in conversion rate in 3rd-and-long situations (54.3%). The success here is directly related to the quality of the Wolfpack's pass protection and the elite talent spearheading the passing attack.
And you'd think that a team this efficient on third downs would generally be a safe bet to score touchdowns at a high rate when in the red zone. Alas, no. The Boston College game was the perfect example of these traits working in stark contrast—State was 10-15 on third down but also scored on only three of its six trips to the red zone.
The Pack ranks 76th in points per trip inside the opponent 40 yard line, which is rather disappointing.
For one week, at least, they'll have to reverse the negative trends that have plagued them in scoring territory, or an upset over Clemson will be out of the question. This week, the scores have got to be touchdowns rather than field goals, and NC State cannot cough up the ball in the red zone. There's no margin for error.
Efficiently handling its opportunities in plus territory is also essential for the obvious reason that NC State isn't likely to have a lot of them. Clemson's defense ranks fifth in S&P+ and the Tigers are allowing only 14.5 points per game. On the occasions where you do have that group at a disadvantage, you had best deliver.

Is it unwise to study with old editions of books?
I've got two of the power score bibles from 2004 and 2008. Is it safe to use them or do you recommend I get the latest editions? Thanks.
I haven't been able to find any firm on the NALP in Toronto which pays more than Davies. Which particular firm were you referring to?
Can you really refuse extra work though? I presume the fear of getting fired would be too much.
Hello Everyone, I'm trying to find info on Bay Street salaries for 2nd to 5th year associates. At the moment, I can't find anything beyond articling and 1st year associate salaries. Any info you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Would you mind sharing your B3?
If firms published their bonuses then that would help the top paying firms attract the best students.
NALP Canada is a useful resource for Bay Street Salaries, however, it fails to go into specifics where bonuses are concerned. Is anyone familiar with how bonuses are distributed, the amounts and which firms pay the highest bonuses? Thank you.
Do UK law schools only look at your undergraduate transcript?
Hello everyone, I'm looking into the possibility of going to law school in the UK after finishing my bachelors in Canada. The main attraction would be the cheaper cost of a UK law degree than a degree from U of T law (My Canadian 1st choice). I'm a British citizen so I would be able to pay domestic fees. If I were to apply for senior LLB status at Oxbridge or Queen Mary's, would I only need to submit my university transcript and not my high school transcript? I ask this since it is a bachelors program and the UCAS application has a section for high school attended. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I didn't attend high school in the UK. Thanks for your help.
Do I need to send my college transcript?
Hi guys, I studied for a year at a college before transferring to university. I know that U of T looks for the best 3 years on a transcript and so I'm planning to apply in my 4th year. Since U of T will have 3 years on my university transcript to work with, is it still necessary to send in my college transcript? I don't want to come across as hiding anything but I also don't want to do something if its not necessary. There is a transcript fee after all. Thanks.
So how would a UBC student interested in NYC go about it since they don't OCI at UBC?
Yeah from the comments in this thread it's clear that getting a job in the US from UBC would be difficult. It's a shame because Vancouver has the best weather in Canada and the tuition is also far cheaper than U of T.
It's not hard to see why. The highest salaries in toronto are 100k according to NALP while if you're lucky to get into biglaw in NYC they start you off at $160k plus I don't think there's any articling.
Does anyone know if LA firms recruit from Canada?

Ewan McGregor joins the cast of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Ewan McGregor has been added to the cast of Guillermo del Toro's 'Pinocchio' movie.
The 48-year-old actor has joined the likes of Tilda Swinton and David Bradley in committing himself to Netflix's stop-motion animated film, which is slated for release in 2021.
del Toro is co-helming the movie alongside 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' animation director Mark Gustafson, with Bradley telling Na Ekranie in Poland that he's poised to voice Pinocchio's creator, Geppetto.
Other big-name stars who are set to feature in the upcoming movie include Oscar-winning actor Christoph Waltz and Ron Perlman, who previously starred in 'Hellboy' and its sequel, 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army', as well as the TV series 'Sons of Anarchy'.
As yet, however, it's not known what part Ewan will play in the upcoming movie.
Meanwhile, Robert Zemeckis is reportedly poised to direct Disney's live-action 'Pinocchio'.
The acclaimed filmmaker has been tasked with helming and co-writing Disney's latest effort to turn one of its animated classics into a money-spinning live-action film.
Zemeckis will work on the project with Chris Weitz, who is also producing alongside Andrew Miano.
But in the short term, Zemeckis - who is married to actress Leslie Harter - is focused on his new adaptation of Roald Dahl's 'The Witches', which stars Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway and is slated for release in October.
Hathaway will take on the role of the Grand High Witch, a part that was made famous by fellow Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston in the 1990 motion picture.

Teen Charged for Beating Muslim Man Outside of a Mosque in Queens
Just a few days before the start of Ramadan, Mohamed Rasheen Khan — a 59-year-old Muslim-American man of Guyanese heritage — was brutally attacked and beaten outside a mosque in Queens, New York. According to BuzzFeed, the New York Police Department arrested a 14-year-old in connection with the assault and charged him with a hate crime on Monday.
After finishing his night prayers at the Islamic Studies Center on Jamaica Ave, Khan, who was wearing traditional Islamic garb, hopped on his bike before three teenagers attacked him. After knocking him off his bike, the teens repeatedly punched and kicked Khan. The other two teens have reportedly not been found.
The Council of American Islamic Relations urged NYPD to investigate and charge the attack as a hate crime. According to CAIR, Khan's attackers did not steal any of his belongings and laughed as they fled the scene.

After the attack, Khan was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for a concussion as well as fractures to his ribs and face. As BuzzFeed reported, Khan remains in the hospital and is unable to open his eyes or speak. He is scheduled to undergo surgery for fractures to his face on Monday.
Ramadan is one of the most joyful times of the year for Muslims worldwide, but many American Muslims say the holiday makes them more visible and vulnerable.
CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper explained that mosques are busy during Ramadan, raising fears of anti-Muslim violence. According to Hooper, CAIR releases safety alerts annually urging the American Muslim community to take precautions during the holy month.
"There's far more activity in mosques during Ramadan which tends to attract anti-Muslim bigots," Hooper said over the phone. "This heightens a lot of security concerns for American Muslims and is particularly why we send out safety alerts before the start of Ramadan."
This past week alone, CAIR reported several other cases of anti-Muslim bigotry. On Friday, a family of Syrian refugees in Arizona received threats declaring that "America hates terrorist like you" and "Go Away Killers!" On Saturday, just a few miles from where Khan was attacked, an American Muslim man was beaten outside of his mosque in the Bronx. According to New York City's ABC 7, Mohammed Atique Ashraf was wearing a white prayer cap as he headed towards a prayer service. Three men attacked him from behind, leaving Ashraf with a swollen cut lip, bruises, scrapes and pain all over his body.
