Each student shall be held strictly accountable for any disorderly conduct in school buildings, on school premises, on school buses, and at school-sanctioned events. Any violations of the code of conduct should be reported to the school administration.
Statement of Policy: The Jefferson Parish School Board ("Board") strictly prohibits bullying and/or harassment, as defined herein. The Board shall take reasonable steps to end bullying/harassment, to prevent its future recurrence and to prevent retaliation against any individual who reports allegations of bullying/harassment or cooperates in the investigation of an alleged violation of this policy. This policy applies to students on school grounds, while traveling to and from school, or a school-sponsored activity, and during school-sponsored events.
Before or after-school detentions of an hour or less or Saturday detentions may be assigned either by the teacher or administrator. The parent/legal guardian is notified by means of a detention notice at least one (1) day before the detention is to be served. Two (2) copies of the detention notice will be sent home with the student. One (1) copy is to be retained by the parent/legal guardian.

The parent/legal guardian can legally refuse to allow the student to serve detentions. However, the student will be subject to suspension from school.
ISS allows students to remain under the school's supervision during the suspension, to receive counseling related to specific behaviors, and to work on academic skills by completing assignments and/or general academic packets. After successfully completing the ISS, the student may return to the regular school/schedule and will be eligible to complete all missed assignments. The absence(s), according to state guidelines, is an excused absence.

In order to receive grades for a semester/year, high school students must be in attendance for a minimum of 30,060 minutes in a semester or 60,120 minutes in a year for schools not operating on a semester system.
Based on a standard 360 minute instructional day, this means that students in a high school on a semester system can miss no more than 4.5 days in the 90-day first semester and 5.5 days in the 93-day second semester. Students in schools not on a semester system can miss no more than 10 days to be eligible for promotion Carnegie units based on minutes.
In addition to meeting overall attendance requirements, middle and high school students must also meet certain attendance requirements to receive Carnegie Credit for individual classes.
In order to earn one Carnegie Credit, students must be in attendance in a specific course for 7,515 minutes. The length of periods and courses varies by school, but as an illustration, if a school is on a 4X4 block schedule and has courses that are 90 minutes long, a student must attend at least 84 classes (7,515 divided by 90). If there were 89 course meetings, the student could miss a maximum of 5 courses (89-84) and still receive credit. For middle school students to earn Carnegie Credits, the same standards apply. Because schools in Jefferson Parish operate on different course calendars, students and parents are advised to check with their principal if they are concerned about the impact of absences on the ability to earn Carnegie Credit.

Florida Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill His Neighbors with Pellet Gun Tells Deputies He Will Bond out and Go Back to 'Disfigure' Them
By Jason Murdock On 10/31/19 at 7:22 AM EDT
News Florida Crime
A Florida man was arrested this week after being accused of threatening to kill his neighbors with a pellet gun and bringing marijuana into jail, police say.
Derick Wade Tidwell, 46, of New Port Richey, was detained at about 5:30 p.m. on Monday after "intentionally and unlawfully" pointing an air-powered pellet gun at the victims and saying "I'm going to put you in the ground," the Pasco Sheriff's Office said in an arrest report.
Florida Man Throws Nunchaku Through Car Window in Road Rage Attack
After he was brought to jail, deputies discovered Tidwell had marijuana in his pocket, which he previously failed to declare to officers.
He is now facing charges of aggravated assault and introduction of contraband, both felonies in the state.
The arrest report, which was circulated to the media, said Tidwell "appeared to have the apparent ability to carry out the threat" and created a "well-founded fear in the victims" that he was going shoot them with the weapon, which they believed to be a real firearm.
"The victims stated they believed the gun, held by the defendant, had the capability of harming them and they were in fear for their lives that the defendant was going to shoot them," it said. The victims, who have not been named, described the gun as being a shotgun or rifle.
The sheriff's deputy requested a high bond— later set at $40,000—becauseTidwell continued to make threats against the unidentified victims throughout the investigation.
"The defendant stated multiple times he had £100,000 to bond out and he will be bonded out within the hour," sheriff's deputies noted in the report. "The defendant stated when he bonds out, he is going to go back to [the victim's] house and kill... and disfigure their faces."
Tidwell was taken into custody at Land O' Lakes Detention Center, Patch.com reported. Charges and bond were confirmed using jail inmate records, which said the unemployed suspect was booked at approximately 11:20 p.m and listed his home address as Walnut Street.
In Florida, aggravated assault is a third degree felony with penalties of up to five years in prison or five years probation, and a $5,000 fine, law firm Hussein & Webber says.
"The offense is harshly prosecuted throughout the state and even first-time offenders will face a realistic possibility of prison," the Jacksonville-based legal outfit explains in an online fact sheet, adding: "The range of punishments can increase substantially, to include mandatory prison of up to 20 years, where a firearm is discharged during the course of an incident."

When feeling that I need to justify being in a CAE bookgroup when, heaven knows I surely have enough reading that I should be doing, I often say "Well, you read books that you wouldn't normally choose". This is very much the case with this book. As it happened I didn't really mind sinking into its fairy-floss peaks, aware that I had only two days to read it before our bookclub meeting. I'd just finished reading N and was feeling exhilarated and supremely sated, and I would have found it difficult to turn straight away to a challenging or complex book. Fortunately, in this case then, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is neither of these things.
I've read a couple of Bill Bryson's travel books, and find them wryly amusing. Although this is a memoir, he approaches it in much the same way: it is a travelogue around his childhood memories. The book moves chronologically towards his adolescence, but is structured thematically with chapters titled (among others) 'Hometown', 'Welcome to Kid World' 'Birth of a Superhero' 'Boom!','What, Me Worry?' and 'The Pubic Year'.
Bryson was born and raised in Des Moines Iowa in 1951. Unusually for the time, both his parents worked at the Des Moines Register, his father as sports writer and his mother in the women's section. Bryson's viewpoint is unashamedly child-centred, with his parents benign but almost peripheral characters, and his sibling almost invisible. Bryson is much attracted to lists, and they pepper the book- a rather lazy way, I think, of leaving the reader to recognize and make the connections. There are one-liners on every page, and it's the voice of the raconteur that you hear.
One of the things that struck me was how self-containedly American his life was. He lists his favourite television programs (all American), films (all American), comic books (all American) and school readers (all American). It reinforced for me how much an Australian childhood (albeit five years later than his) was a mixture of British, American and Australian influences.
This is not to say that there's not some social commentary in here as well. He points out the disjunction between the fears of the time (polio, Communists, nuclear war) and the sunny abundance and self-confidence of affluent, middle class White America. He deals with racism in a couple of pages because it was not on his horizon at all.
All in all, it's an affectionate, humourous wallow in nostalgia. It reminded me a bit of the television show 'The Wonder Years'. I enjoyed it in half-hour episodes but I know I would have drowned in schmaltz had it gone on for an hour.
Like a sit-com or a travel book, this book could have stopped ¾ of the way through, or gone on for another 100 pages, although at nearly 400 pages I think that it was plenty long enough.
What a wonderful world it was. We won't see its like again, I'm afraid.

My youngest niece is hugely into climbing. Whether it's a tree, a wall or a building, anything she can climb – she'll have a go! It therefore makes sense to her mother that her choice in casual clothes reflects her love of the outdoors. Always to be found in joggers, shirts and trainers galore, she has developed her own sense of style.
Yet, for her to buy such clothes as this, to dress the way she wants, my niece has no other choice than to shop in the boy's section of a department store. The reason why – because an overwhelming proportion of stores, and indeed designers, believe that all girls want pink and sparkly clothes, whilst the boys will make do with drab, plain non-descript clothes!
It's through shopping with my niece, and a couple of other girlfriends who have admitted having to plough through the men's section for their clothes, that I have had my eyes opened to this huge generalisation that some areas of the fashion industry force upon us all.
My niece also has a similar problem when it comes to school shoes, and this must be one of the more concerning areas of stereotyping that I have yet to witness. Taking me on a recent trip for the new school year, my niece showed me where she gets her shoes from. Purchasing a basic, non-descript pair of black shoes, I asked her why she felt she had no choice other than to head to the boy's shoe section as her first port of call. She then took me into the girl's school section, and for a moment I felt as though we had just stepped back a decade or two.
The girls school shoe sections include predominately T-Bar shoes. Now, if you've never had to experience these shoes, let's just say, you won't be able to run, or get far in them without them slipping off. However, that wasn't what caught my eye – rather the glitter and sparkles once again had seemingly made its way to the school shoe collections. With a dash of sparkle on most shoes, it's no wonder my niece bypassed this section – even I was feeling queasy with all the in your face shimmer and glamour!
Unfortunately, this stereotyping continues to extend to the school uniform itself, with girl's school trousers containing dangly charms from the belt hooks, and shirts with slight frills in the neck designs. When will the fashion industry, and stores themselves, stand up and eliminate this downright outdated and disgusting assumption that all girls want pink and glitter in their clothes and shoes, whilst boys apparently want simplicity and no colour?

Two years ago, writer Diane Handal reported in ONE magazine on the risks and challenges Christians were undertaking to leave Africa and resettle in Israel.
A group of Israeli Holocaust survivors has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the planned deportation of tens of thousands of African asylum seekers.
In a letter sent to the prime minister on Thursday, the 36 survivors called on the prime minister to make a "historic decision" and reverse the controversial deportation plan, according to the Haaretz daily.
They added, "Do the Jewish thing, like [former premier] Menachem Begin, who accepted refugees from the Vietnam War, and gave those asylum seekers life.
There are approximately 38,000 African migrants and asylum seekers in Israel, according to the Interior Ministry. About 72 percent are Eritrean and 20 percent are Sudanese, and the vast majority arrived between 2006 and 2012. Many live in south Tel Aviv, and some residents and activists blame them for rising crime rates and have lobbied the government for their deportation.
Last month, the Knesset approved an amendment to the so-called "Infiltrator's Law" mandating the closure of the Holot detention facility and the forced deportations of Eritrean and Sudanese migrants and asylum seekers starting in March.
At least three El Al pilots recently published Facebook posts announcing their refusal to participate in the government's mass deportation of African asylum seekers by not flying them to Rwanda or Uganda following the passing of controversial legislation sanctioning their expulsions.

Not like your father to eat up, because the truth is more than just a play. Under every to keep it is...
...guilty U s you must just believe. Waging it glass side something in the bridge. Yeah, I'll becomes you. Look, yes, the bionic rots. That the BioNIC rots, the bionic rats out of Ireland. I think they're had a doubling. No bottles, no milk love. It can come for just before the break with profile of a new elite there at a Toronto. Pretty sure that's the first time I played. Can come for as well. So a few debuts on the sky show would be today. And then we kicked off a little bit of section. The simmer tones are at a toll bay faulty towers country out of England. I I love you, Madley. I love that stuff. We are on the running to the weekend because it's east the Thursday and that means we got four days off. Yes, we do. And Gary Marshall from the hot knives. He calls himself the original hot knife. We play the hot knives quite a bit, because I do. I'm a MMM, I've got a soft spot for the hot knives. Hey just released a new album called the awakening, featuring AKA paper boy. Not Too sure about the AK paperboy story, but it's brand new. Check him out. He's got a bank camp, he's got facebook. Gary Marshall, the original hot knife. I gotta play a track off this new album. It is called here she comes again. Check him out, Gary Marshall from the hot knives. This is his brand knewi off the awakening. Here she comes again. I whatever. Show me what ever showed me.
Show me all alone. What went wrong the way, said the cat. My Big monoice got him my voice and make you leave it. Never under your philosophy. They about it. I can RUFE, but I can change my instinct. One FRONA away, yeah, Scott freaks out of Japan.
Yes, crazy getting into Easter scarnation. Tomorrow. Thanks for joining me. I've had an absolute ball to hes just it's not long enough. Really sorry, it's just not long enough. Anyway, what are we hear? We heard Gary Marshall, the original hot knife, do office new album, the awakening. Here she comes again. Then last edition had a lester in England, one of my favorite tunes, perfect circles, and that was scar freaks at a Japan called get on the van. Go on, get on the van now. Of Tomorrow. Corner hotel, five bands, scan nation. It's a scarfest. There is nothing else to do in Melbourne, I'm telling you now, apart from go and have some fun. Go and enjoy yourself here. Five amazing bands, including area, seven lost come fum monkeys from Mexico, the all night as Edi Sidney. Yes, you'll get to hear your childhood favorite song, Montego Bay live, the resonators, Australia's hardest working band, one of the best live acts you'll ever see, and Admiral Act bars dishonorable discharge. They are opening up the show late, calling to do a bit of family on us with Mr Coffee. So look on the weekend. It's a long weekend. Four days off get out see some local live music. This is the best Gig you'll see this year. Apart from that, please, please, please, have fun. If you're on facebook, please look up the scar show with beefee. Give me a like, not a lick, a like. You can give me a link if you like, but that's life. Also, if you're in a band, send me your music. I will play it. Apart from that, please, please have fun, be safe, enjoy your Easter week end. I'm going to have a ball because it is the fact that we can go and have some fun scan nation style. Hey, we heard Steve Douglas from the resonators say that all the bands are going to get together tomorrow and do a little tribute to ranking Roger of the beat, who are sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago. So I thought we go out today with ranking Roger's signature tune, a rankin full stop bar. Yes, it's a beat. I've been beefy. This is the scar show with me, beefy, thanks to Merceda, the best sports where in Australia. Live it up, pick it up,...
...be good. I said I you're ready to start. You're ready to start, you're ready to stay,.

Q: How best to connect two optical limit switches to share one I/O pin I'm trying to build a CNC laser engraver using a scrap industrial CNC gantry as a donor. The system already has optical limit switches for the max & min on each axis. I can't use the current controller because it is propitiatory and doesn't accept g-code. Also the wires are already cut!
I would like to use GRBL and the Arduino Uno as the controller for this system but this means only 1 I/O pin for combined max/min limit control per axis.
The limit switches are this type: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/110958.pdf
They are LOW when the limit flag enters the switch.
How can I connect them so that they will be compatible with GRBL? https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Wiring-Limit-Switches
Would the attached image work as a circuit by having both limit switches share the same I/O line in parallel? Will the transistor in the limit switch be able to sink the other to ground?

A: Yes, it will work.
You need to add a pull-up resistor (from the OUT node to VCC) to be sure the output goes high when none of the limits have been hit. This can be anything from maybe 500 ohms to 10 kohms, with lower values giving faster response when exiting the limit condition and higher values giving lower power consumption when in the limit condition. If you have no other reason to choose, 4.7 kohm is a reasonable choice.

A: tl; dr: yes, it can work. Add a pull-up resistor to the collectors and you're good to go.
With the switches wired together with a pull-up to VCC, either end-of-travel switch can activate and pull the OUT line low. The switches are 'open collector', which means they can only sink current to ground and thus be safely wired together as a 'wire-or'. There is no harm in both sensors pulling the line low at the same time, even though that's a physical impossibility.
Because the open collectors can only sink current, they must be tied with a pull-up resistor to VCC. A value of 1K-5K is is a good choice for a high-noise environment like this. A small capacitance to ground (100pF, say) can help too.
The limitation of this setup is you can't tell one limit from the other. With known-good wiring this shouldn't pose a problem as the servo index process will know which direction the actuator is running as it discovers each limit switch. If there is a possibility of a motor miswire, you will need to rethink this.

Erwin Sellering (født 18. oktober 1949 i Sprockhövel, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Tyskland) er en tysk politiker, der fra 2008 til 2017 var ministerpræsident i delstaten Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, valgt for SPD. Fra 2006 var han delstatens social- og sundhedsminister, og 2000-2006 justitsminister.

Sellering har en juridisk embedseksamen fra universiteterne i Heidelberg, Bochum og Münster. I 1981 blev han udnævnt til dommer i Gelsenkirchen, og fra 1994 var han ledende dommer i Greifswald. I 1996 blev han viceretspræsident samme sted. Fra 1998 til 2000 var han afdelingsleder i Statskansleriet i Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Han blev medlem af SPD i 1994, og blev i 1996 været medlem af ledelsen af partiet i Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; siden 2003 næstformand. Han blev valgt som formand for partiet i hele delstaten i 2007 og tillige formand i Vorpommern. Han blev valgt til landdagen første gang i 2002. To år tidligere var han blevet udnævnt til justitsminister i Harald Ringstorffs regering. I 2006 blev han social- og sundhedsminister. Ringstorff annoncerede sin afgang som ministerpræsident i august 2008, og i oktober blev Sellering af 40 ud af 45 medlemmer af landdagen valgt til ny ministerpræsident. Han blev genvalgt i landdagsvalg i 2011 og 2016, men trak sig tilbage i 2017 på grund af sygdom og blev efterfulgt af Manuela Schwesig.

Ned Kahn: The Limits of the Knowable
By channeling the elements of wind and water, the environmental sculptor's designs inspire awe and curiosity in museum visitors

Last June, sculptor Ned Kahn's 17-year-old son approached him with a box.
"I got you a traditional Father's Day gift," Ben Kahn warned his Dad. "But it's not a traditional Father's Day gift."
Inside was a tie—made of polished, perforated aluminum. The gift was especially significant because Ben had fashioned it in the workshop of San Francisco's Exploratorium: the legendary hands-on science museum where Ned had served as artist-in-residence for 14 years.
Even so, the tie seemed incongruous; a more appropriate gift might have been a silk-lined hard hat. Though Kahn appears pensive and soft-spoken, this large-scale environmental artist has won international acclaim by building tornadoes, orchestrating the wind and channeling ocean tides into explosive blowholes.
Kahn, a youthful 51, has a narrow face and dark eyes that often focus in the distance. He majored in botany and environmental science at the University of Connecticut, then worked at the Exploratorium from 1982 until 1996. Physicist Frank Oppenheimer, the museum's brilliant and eccentric founder (and the younger brother of J. Robert Oppenheimer), became his mentor.
"Finally, I had someone I could ask all the questions that had been puzzling me for years. Like, 'What's actually flowing through a wire when you turn on the light?' Frank loved questions like that," recalls Kahn. "He would lead me through all the electricity exhibits in the museum, explaining them in detail. Then he'd end this long explanation by saying, 'Basically, we don't know what flows through a wire!'
"It was an awakening. It made me realize that what we do know of the world is based on our view through very small windows. The whole idea of limits—the limits of what's really knowable—has been woven through everything I've done."
Kahn's interactive Tornado—an eight-foot-high fog twister that visitors can literally walk through without being carried away to Oz—is still one of the Exploratorium's signature attractions. It's a good example of what Kahn means when he refers to his pieces as "turbulent landscapes." For nearly 30 years, he has been fascinated by the dynamic interplay of natural forces that operate, often invisibly, around us.
"I spent a year trying to make that first tornado sculpture work," Kahn confesses with barely concealed amusement. "Sometimes I'd be there late at night. I'd aim the fans and the fog machine, and get it all fine-tuned. The thing would be working perfectly! Then I'd come back the next morning, and it wouldn't work at all. I was going crazy.
"After months of this, I realized that it was all about the air currents in that old, drafty Exploratorium building. Which doors were open, or where the sun was heating the roof, affected everything. It slowly dawned on me, how intertwined the sculpture was with the building's entire air system.
"This made me think: Where does an environmental sculpture begin, and where does it end? If my tornado was being affected by the air currents in the building, which were being affected by the wind outside the building, there never was a real border between the sculpture and the whole atmosphere of the Earth."
Ned Kahn's Avalanche is a moveable wheel filled with a mixture of irregular garnet sand and tiny, spherical glass beads. Pictured here is the much larger version of Avalanche at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. A 8-foot-wide version is installed at the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh. Courtesy of Ned Kahn

Ned Kahn lives and works in Graton, a small town about 50 miles north of San Francisco. His studio is filled with motors, pipes, metalworking machinery and prototypes for kinetic sculptures. It looks like a salvage yard for spaceship parts.
His early works modeled on a Lilliputian scale the gigantic, always interactive forces of nature. Air columns filled with microscopic beads created patterns of ever-changing sand dunes; spinning glass orbs filled with a clever mix of colored liquid soaps appeared to contain the atmospheric storms seething across Neptune or Jupiter.
As he received more public art commissions, his works grew larger. New "tornadoes," commissioned by science museums in the United States and Europe, added several stories in height. Whirlpools and blowholes were installed near city piers; the bare walls of buildings were surfaced with thousands of tiny hinged aluminum panels, animated by the ever-shifting patterns of the wind. In 2003 Kahn's environmental art was recognized by the MacArthur Foundation, which awarded him a "genius" grant. Far from making him feel self-important, the honor has given him a droll perspective on the art world.
"It's much easier to generate ideas than come up with something that really works," Kahn observes, spinning a fluid-filled sphere called Turbulent Orb. "One of the dangerous things about becoming a MacArthur Fellow is that people start to take even your half-baked ideas seriously. It makes me nervous … because a lot of my ideas are bad!"
But a large percentage of his ideas are brilliant. Recently unveiled projects include the 20-foot diameter Avalanche at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, and the astounding Rain Oculus: a 70-foot-wide whirlpool at the Marina Bay Sands complex in Singapore (designed with architect Moshe Safdie). The huge whirlpool—which can circulate 6,000 gallons of water per minute—functions as a kinetic sculpture, a skylight (and waterfall) for the shopping arcade below, and part of the building's rain-collecting system.
"I love working with Ned," says Safdie. "His installations not only harness the forces of nature, but—more relevantly—teach us about them. Since my architecture is about working in harmony with nature, this is a perfect fit. I think we both come out feeling enriched, and that our own work is profoundly complemented by the other's."
Avalanche, meanwhile, is a movable wheel filled with a mixture of irregular garnet sand and tiny, spherical glass beads. Flowing together, they evoke the dynamics of moving soil, sand and snow. For this project Kahn consulted with University of Chicago physicist Sidney Nagel, who studies the behavior of water droplets, granular matter and other "disordered systems."
"The enormous wheel is mesmerizing, as small avalanches build up and interact with one another," Nagel observes. "Ned has the intuition and insight to see how something that starts out small and simple can take on layers of texture when it is enlarged. He captures the playfulness of the scientist in the lab—on our best days!—and translates the excitement of discovery so that it can be enjoyed by all."
Kahn often works on dozens of projects simultaneously. At this writing they include everything from a Cloud Arbor (a mist sculpture for the Pittsburgh Children's Museum) to an installation on the side of a giant parking garage in Brisbane, Australia. But he finds himself drawn increasingly to works that go beyond the purely aesthetic.
"I've been getting more excited about projects where what I'm doing is useful; where the artwork actually has some benefit to the building,"
Solar panels, he believes, can be made far more attractive. "And wind turbines are a great interest of mine," Kahn says. "There's a lot of backlash against wind power; people think it's ugly and noisy and kills birds. I think there's a potential for me to help change people's attitudes, and show that you can do it in beautiful ways."
A current commission, for the new PUC building in San Francisco (in collaboration with KMD Architects), takes a revolutionary approach to wind power. When completed, a wide channel running up the side of the 12-story building will hold a tower of sculptural wind turbines, feeding electricity directly into the building's power grid.
"How much? No one's certain. Because what we're doing—using the architecture as a wind funnel—is uncharted territory. Even the people who make the turbines are excited to see what they can do!"
Laced with thousands of tiny yellow-green lights, the facade of the building will flicker at night like a grid of fireflies, revealing otherwise invisible wind currents.
As the scale of his projects increase, his ideas become ever wilder. He's currently researching how water droplets generate electrical charges, a process that produces famously dramatic results. "I've been working on designs for a fountain that will store and create electrical discharges," he grins. "A sculpture that would produce real lightning."
For an artist preparing to throw thunderbolts around, Ned Kahn remains remarkably unpretentious. This arises in part from his 30-plus years of morning vipassana (mindfulness) meditation, as well as the fact that he's usually channeling forces much larger than himself.
"Most sculptures are a celebration of the skill of the artist," he admits. "But in the things that I make—even though I've created the structure—it's really not me that's doing the sculpting. I've assembled the symphony, and the musicians, but something besides me is actually composing and recomposing the piece."
To date, Ned Kahn has collaborated with more than 25 architecture and design companies around the world. With so much time scheduled on hard-hat construction sites, I can't help but wonder when he'll next put on that tie.
"Hopefully, never," Kahn laughs. "I'm just not a tie guy. But it is a good conversation starter."

The OTB Culture Hall of Fame - EP4 | Kenny Cunningham loves British comedies
We've been inducting extraordinary works of movie and television into our NOW TV OTB Culture Ha...
Shane Hannon
@ShaneHannon01
We've been inducting extraordinary works of movie and television into our NOW TV OTB Culture Hall of Fame, and Kenny Cunningham had his say this week.
The former Premier League star and Republic of Ireland captain is a staple to Off The Ball listeners and viewers, and yet his in-depth knowledge of vintage British comedies may come as a surprise to some.
In previous weeks we have seen Andy Lee induct Rocky III, Dermot Kennedy brought us along his journey of Gladiator obsession, and Stefanie Preissner told us why The US Office was far superior to its UK counterpart.
One thing we learned from Kenny's appearance on OTB AM with Ger and Eoin this morning was his love for video cassette tapes over DVD's.
"I tell you what - there's something nice as well, you know when you handle your video? As opposed to your typical DVD... it's just a bit more substantial.
"It's the weight of it, isn't it? It just feels that you've got something more substantial in your hand rather than the classic DVD, the feckin' DVD!
"You've got to pop it out, stick your finger in to try to [get it out], all of that rubbish. Eventually it ends up getting tattered or scraped anyway, where these things [videos] in terms of durability stand the test of time!
"I've kept a lot of these, about 50 plus, and I don't think I'll ever get rid of them."
Kenny decided ultimately to induct Fawlty Towers into the OTB Culture Hall of Fame this week, and he says it was a show he has enjoyed greatly over the years.
"I haven't watched Fawlty Towers for 10 or 15 years, but I would hang my hat, I'll slide my VHS into the video-tape recorder, and bang - I'm absolutely totally engrossed.
"And that's not always the case with films and comedies etc, you can go back and think you were a bit disappointed, it hasn't stood the test of time.
"You can remember the actual individual episodes. I can off the top of my head, three, four, five of these individual episodes. The German tourist who came, the anniversary of Basil and his wife Prunella Scales, the rat, when Manuel thought it was a hamster!
"There's only 10 or 12 made, which is the great thing... Fawlty Towers in particular for me [was] absolute magic.
"The quality of the acting, the script is always key, the interaction between the actors was perfect. John Cleese, Prunella Scales... he was brilliant John Cleese.
"I think he dominated the whole thing, on a load of different levels I think he's quite extraordinary. Comic timing, he's obviously very bright. Even physically to look at, like Peter Crouch - it's his dimensions! You can't help taking your eyes off him! He kind of grabs every scene."
One show that caused a bit of disagreement this week was Only Fools and Horses - as Ger made the point that he wasn't sure what to make of it.
"I'm on the fence with Only Fools and Horses, as an all-time great comedy show. I don't think I get it the way everyone else seems to get it."
Kenny though pointed out that some of the scenes are all-time classics.
"Yeah, fair enough. I really liked it obviously... there's a couple of stand-out moments. The Wine Bar, Del Boy and the skateboard incident with Rodney, when he enrolled him into the under-15s skateboard competition and won a free holiday. Rodney had to pretend to be a 15-year-old schoolboy on the holiday!"

Dover Motorsports, Inc. President and CEO Denis McGlynn receives prestigious Buddy Shuman Award
04 Dec 2019	Speedway Digest Staff
Speedway News
Dover Motorsports, Inc. President and CEO Denis McGlynn is the winner of the prestigious Buddy Shuman Award, which recognizes individuals for their contributions to professional stock car racing
The announcement was made today in Nashville, Tennessee, in conjunction with NASCAR Champion's Week activities.
McGlynn is the 63rd recipient of the Buddy Shuman Award, which was established in 1957 and named for a former NASCAR driver and the sport's first technical inspector. Previous Buddy Shuman Award recipients include NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., team owners Rick Hendrick, Jack Roush and Robert Yates, Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty and track executive Bruton Smith.
"Denis has had a tremendous career at Dover International Speedway and this is a well-deserved honor," said Mike Tatoian, Dover International Speedway's president and CEO. "As we near the end of our 50th anniversary celebrations, it's impossible to think of the Monster Mile and all of the growth NASCAR experienced in this region without Denis' vision and leadership."
McGlynn joined what was then known as Dover Downs International Speedway in 1972 as director of public relations, just after completing his service with the U.S. Air Force at Dover Air Force Base. At that time, the innovative facility was in its third year of hosting both auto racing and horse racing.
"I didn't know anything about auto racing or horse racing, but I didn't know anything about airplanes when I joined the Air Force either and I did OK," McGlynn recalled in an interview earlier this year. "I started doing publicity, group sales and just about anything that needed to be done."
McGlynn was named chief executive officer and president of Dover Motorsports, Inc. in 1979 and oversaw the company's expansion, including its construction of Nashville Superspeedway in the late 1990s and purchasing Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois, Memphis (Tenn.) International Raceway and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach (Calif.).
At Dover, McGlynn and his team oversaw the track's internal improvements, including converting the Monster Mile to a concrete racing surface in 1994, building the famous 46-foot Monster Monument in Victory Plaza in 2008, expanding the FanZone area which features the track's partners and fan activities, and this year's addition of a new $5.5 million Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garage area.
"Our team is offering more music, more entertainment and a wider range of food options," McGlynn said earlier this year. "The race will always be most important to us, but we realize - as the entire sports world does - that the fan's experience has to be more than just the race."
In 1996, McGlynn became president and CEO of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and led it and Dover Motorsports, Inc. to public ownership and listings on the New York Stock Exchange in 2002. This past spring, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment merged with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc., which operates casino and gaming venues in Colorado, Mississippi and Rhode Island.
Dover International Speedway is hosting two NASCAR tripleheader weekends in 2020 on May 1-3 and Aug. 21-23, including a NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, May 3 and the "Drydene 400" NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, Aug. 23.

Since version 2.4, support for External Lists/External Content Types is available using PowerForms (SharePoint 2010 only).
The PowerForms registration buttons should be available in the list ribbon, so register PowerForms for the New and Edit forms.
As you would normally do with any other form, open the designer and examine/change the default configuration created.
Whenever you declare a lookup control based on an external list, SharePoint instead of binding the list to the lookup control, binds the external Data Source.
This has the result that the default form produced by PowerForms will not recognize the binding details and will leave the lookup control as a simple textbox.
What you have to do, is to change the control type to a ComboBox or a LookupPicker and set the properties manually through the control properties in the "Lookup Details" tab.
Type the list url, select the list name and in the value field, select the "BdcIdentity" field which is the actual record identifier.
Visit our blog for a more detailed example on External Lists and lookups on foreign keys.


We need volunteers to serve Home Communion to our At Home Members. It is a very easy and rewarding way to include our At Home Members living in Moon and Crescent Townships in the life of our church. This year I would like to be able to offer it, more regularly to some members who also live in Sewickley. Pastor Doug made a pamphlet that is easy to follow and has everything you need to know. I'm sure he would be happy to repeat the training this year for anyone who is interested as well. Although the training is not necessary, it is helpful to make volunteers more comfortable with the process. Communion Kits are prepared in advance and may be picked up immediately after the church service. Two people always go together, and the time is set up by mutual agreement of the volunteers and the At Home Member being served. The dated for 2017 are February 5, May 7, August 6 and November 5. At Home Members living in Moon and Crescent will receive a post card to remind them of upcoming Home Communion dates in advance. A phone call from the office to confirm will also be made. Please contact Jan Weber or Debbie in the office for more information if you would like to serve.

Q: How to mock Objects that are not passed as arguments Imagine the following class
public class ClassToBeTested{

  private AnotherClass otherClass;

  public void methodToBeTested(){
     otherClass = new AnotherClass();
     String temp = otherClass.someMethod()

    // ...some other code that depends on temp

  }

}

Now, if methodToBeTested was designed to accept an instance of AnotherClass I could easily create a mock of AnotherClass and tell Mockito to return a value i prefeer when someMethod() is called. However as the above code is designed AFAIK it's not possible to mock AnotherClass and testing this method will depend on what someMethod() returns.
Is there anyway I can test the above code without beeing dependent on what someMethod() returns using Mockito or any other framework?

A: If available you can use the Spring ReflectionTestUtils setField method:
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframework/test/util/ReflectionTestUtils.html#setField%28java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object%29
If not write your own its pretty straight forward using reflection, some info here:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Reflection/Setprivatefieldvalue.htm
Something like the below, you will need additional error handling to get this to work properly:
public void setField(Object obj, String fieldName, Object value) {
    Field f = obj.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
    f.setAccessible(true);
    f.set(obj, value);
}

It can then be called like this:
setField(objUnderTest, "fieldToSet", mockObject);

edit
I have just noticed that you are instantiating it inside the method. If that is absolutely necessary then you should follow the possible duplicate link posted by cyroxx.
Although that practice is often a sign of bad design so if you can take it out I would.

A: Setting the field by reflection as suggested in the other answer will work.
But if you're doing this sort of thing often, I'd recommend PowerMock (in conjunction with Mockito) or JMockIt to achieve this. Both allow you to mock constructors, statics, final fields... in short, just about anything. Very useful with legacy code.
However, when you're writing new code, and your class has a dependency on another class that you want to isolate in this way, you should consider changing the design so that the other object is passed in to your class instead of being instantiated by it. Search for "Dependency injection" and you'll find plenty...

A: As a quick fix, I usually wrap the call to new:
protected newAnotherClass() { return new AnotherClass(); }

That way, I can overwrite this method from a unit test. It's dirty but it's quick :-)

A: Here is a JMockit test which does what you want, very simply:
@Test
public void testTheMethodToBeTested(@Mocked final AnotherClass dep)
{
    new NonStrictExpectations() {{ dep.someMethod(); result = "whatever"; }};

    new ClassToBeTested().methodToBeTested();

    new Verifications() {{
        // verify other calls to `dep`, if applicable...
    }};
}

TIFF 2015: "The Danish Girl" & "About Ray"
by Susan Wloszczyna
It seems shamelessly inevitable to tie together the two TIFF titles that feature a transgender theme, especially since they are such disparate enterprises. But such matchmaking is pretty much unavoidable. Both had their big public premieres on the same day over the weekend. And their timing is impeccable considering the fascination over Caitlyn Jenner continues apace. But neither movie comes as close to honestly capturing what it feels like to be a stranger in your own body than 1999's "Boys Don't Cry."
The more satisfying of the pair, "The Danish Girl," is a highbrow period piece that at least has the wherewithal to face the medical reality of primitive gender-change procedures head on. It also isn't shy about wearing its somewhat kinky sexuality on its silken-to-the-touch sleeves.
"About Ray," on the other hand, is a mainstream family affair that too often relies on sitcom-ish punchlines instead of meaningful dialogue, while giving short shrift to the very character that should rightfully be the reason for its existence.
Let's dish about "Danish" first, which stars the Oscar's current reigning champ, Eddie Redmayne, who won for his pull-out-the-stops portrayal of Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything." For his next biopic trick, he embodies Einar Wegener, an artist in 1920s Copenhagen who is best known not for his moody landscapes but for being a trans pioneer after evolving into Lili Elbe.
The process is initially sparked after his outspoken artist wife, Gerda (Alicia Vikander), decides to use him as a stand-in for her ballerina model. As he poses in sheer stockings and women's dance shoes, Redmayne's pale soft skin fairly ripples with the erotic sensation of self-discovery.
At first, the revelation that her androgynous husband has a thing for female apparel is a turn-on. She has already surmised that they share a kinship that goes beyond simple heterosexual love. As she reveals to a friend that kissing Einar "was like I was kissing myself." And Gerda, who has begrudgingly stood in the shadows of her more successful spouse, also experiences her own creative awakening as she finds her muse in the ever-more-present Lili. More than most biopics, "The Danish Girl" avoids the trap of forcing a love interest to do little more than support the main character. That is, until it reaches its predestined tragic conclusion.
Tom Hooper, the Academy Award-winning director of "The King's Speech" and "Les Miserables," is not known for graphic sex—although he did a fine job capturing Benjamin Franklin's romps with prostitutes in his "John Adams" miniseries for HBO. But he does better in the early scenes here where the young marrieds indulge their lust than in the more stilted dialogue-heavy moments in large open rooms filled with canvases and little else. Too often "The Danish Girl" is more a still life than a moving picture despite a soaring score and painterly visuals.
The Cinderella-esque sequence where Lili makes her public debut at a fancy ball—fully orchestrated by Gerda, who assists with hair and makeup—could prove uncomfortable for some to observe. But this key sequence could also easily be what seals the deal on Redmayne being granted another go at a trophy.
Oh so sweetly coquettish with that shy toothy grin, the statuesque Lili lights up the room and even upstages her lovely wife. Is it over the top that so many men are seen admiring her gawky charms as she flutters by? Perhaps. But Redmayne's dedication and utmost respect for his character does make for some riveting hold-your-breath moments even if certain turns of events made the less-sensitive side of me think of Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in "Some Like It Hot."
The primary problem with "About Ray" is that it really isn't about Ray. Elle Fanning emits dude attitude in abundance as a 16-year-old living in New York's East Village, in one of those only-in-the-movies spaciously funky extended-family abodes that somehow the characters manage to afford.
Eager to undergo hormone therapy and bearing no doubt that he is a male trapped in a female body, Ray (formerly Ramona) possesses that twitchy adolescent-boy nervous energy and a craving to get physical, whether performing skateboard stunts, pumping iron to flesh out his thin elfin physique or dancing wildly to loud music. And, just to erase any doubt, director and co-writer Gaby Dellal thoughtfully makes sure the camera catches glimpses of Ray's thatchy armpit hair whether we want to see it or not.
Bullies seem to be de rigueur in the growing body of trans films—Lili runs into one as well. But the real barrier to Ray becoming who he is meant to be isn't some homophobic street punk but Maggie, Ray's conflicted single mom played by Naomi Watts who, unlike her transitioning son, is beset with self doubt and a fear of having to face a past that she has too long denied.
Namely, she has to hunt down her child's birth father so he can sign the consent form, a technicality that occupies far too much of the story. You would think that for the sake of her child's happiness, she would simply woman up and do what she has to do. If only to stop Ray from saying such melodramatic nonsense as, "I'm not having a shitty day mom, I'm having a shitty existence!"
Providing some questionable comic relief is Susan Sarandon as Dodo, Maggie's gay mom who isn't completely onboard with suddenly having a grandson. Her take on the matters at hand: "Why can't she just be a lesbian? She likes women." Maggie, in a rare sensible outburst, counters: "Authentic is what he wants to be."
After her character's trans cred is fully established, Fanning is pushed into the background and "About Ray" starts to feel like a bad Neil Simon comedy including more than one road trip. It is beyond me why Honey, Dodo's life partner (Linda Emond), has to be defined by her affection for lottery tickets. I was equally flummoxed by Dellal's choice to showcase a wadded-up consent form as it rolls around the backseat of Maggie's car. By the time a cold stuffed Cornish game hen—dangling rosemary spring included—is used to ease the swelling of Ray's bully-induced black eye, you might want to leave the theater.

The European Union (EU) has rejected some consignments of Indian black tiger shrimp, cuttle and squid fish blaming widespread use of antibiotics by aquaculture farms.
Safety concerns: Shrimps at a seafood restaurant in Guangzhou, China. In 2006-07, Europe was the largest market for Indian marine exports, accounting for nearly 33% of the total exports worth $1.8 billion.
Officials of Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) and Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI) confirmed that there have been a few rejections, but said there was no cause for alarm.
A.J. Tharakan, national president of SEAI and vice-chairman of MPEDA, said the consignments rejected were mainly from Andhra Pradesh. The trade promotion body has initiated steps to ensure quality at the farm level, he said.
With Indian shrimp exports attracting anti-dumping duty in the US, Europe is fast emerging as a major destination for marine exports from the country.
In 2006-07, Europe was the largest market for Indian marine exports, accounting for nearly 33% of the total exports worth $1.8 billion (Rs7,074 crore). Aquaculture contributed 45% of the total exports. According to the EU, it is possible to define a limit below which food containing such residue could be considered safe, but the commonly used antibiotics in aquaculture farms—chloramphenicol and nitrofuran—are considered potentially harmful at any level. Chloramphenicol could be fatal while nitrofuran is believed to cause damage to genes, which could lead to cancer.
