Is the Elon Musk Twitter Ban an Unfair Move?
by Briefnewsbuzz December 19, 2022, 9:47 am 28 Views
You might have heard: Elon Musk was recently banned from Twitter. The reason? Apparently, he violated the site's terms of service.
Some people are crying about censorship, while others say it's about time Musk was taken down a peg or two. Where do you stand on the issue? Is the Twitter ban an unfair move, or is Musk finally getting what he deserves?
What Did Elon Musk Tweet?
You're probably wondering what all the fuss is about. After all, it's just a tweet, right?
Well, not exactly. Elon Musk's tweet in question was posted on August 7th, 2018. It was a response to a user who had asked him if he planned to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Musk's reply? "Am I thinking about taking Tesla private at $420? Funding secured."
This tweet caused an immediate uproar, with Tesla's stock price spiking as investors reacted to the news. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) didn't take too kindly to it and quickly began investigating whether Musk had actually secured the funding he claimed he had.
The Aftermath of the Tweet
You're probably wondering what this all means to Elon Musk. Well, the CEO is currently in hot water with the SEC after tweeting about taking Tesla private at $420 per share. The problem is that he didn't actually have the funding secured to make this happen, which is a direct violation of SEC rules.
As a result, Musk was hit with a lawsuit from the SEC and was forced to resign as Tesla's chairman. He's also barred from being an officer or director of any publicly traded company for the next three years. This has left many people wondering if the ban is fair and if it will ultimately hurt Tesla's stock prices.
The Nature of Elon Musk's Tweets
Elon Musk has never shied away from a fight. Whether it's his unapologetic attitude or his willingness to push boundaries, the man is not afraid to speak his mind. His Twitter account is a perfect example of this.
Musk has always been vocal about his thoughts on Twitter, and he's never been one to hold back. He uses the platform to engage directly with his followers, and he's not afraid to speak his mind. This has sometimes gotten him into trouble, but it's also made him one of the most popular CEOs on Twitter.
His latest controversy, however, may have crossed a line. After a tweet about taking Tesla private at $420 caused Tesla's stock to spike, the SEC filed charges against Musk for allegedly misleading investors. As a result, Musk was forced to step down as Tesla's CEO and chairman.
Some people are arguing that the SEC's actions are unfair, and that Musk was just exercising his freedom of speech. Others say that Musk's tweets were reckless and could have caused serious financial damage to Tesla. What do you think?
Twitter's Response to the Controversy
In response to the criticism, Twitter has said that it is "committed to enforcing our rules comprehensively and impartially."
"We have processes in place to promote the health of the debate on Twitter, and they're neutral. Decisions made by these systems are not based on political views or the perspectives of any one individual or group," the company said in a statement.
Twitter also said that it would continue to "monitor" Musk's account and would take "appropriate action" if he violated its rules again.
Social Media Regulation and Freedom of Speech
You might be wondering if the recent ban on Elon Musk's Twitter account is an unfair move. After all, didn't he just get suspended for a couple of weeks? What's the big deal?
Well, it turns out that the ban is a pretty big deal. And here's why.
Elon Musk's Twitter account was banned because he violated Twitter's rules on regulated financial content. Specifically, he tweeted about Tesla stock prices and Dogecoin, both of which are considered securities. And under SEC rules, it's illegal to tweet about securities without disclosing certain information.
So, while Musk may have a right to free speech, he doesn't have a right to violate Twitter's rules. As a result, his account has been suspended.
Is the Ban an Unfair Move by Twitter?
The question is whether the ban was an unfair move by Twitter. After all, Musk is one of the most followed people on the platform, and his tweets often generate a lot of engagement.
Some people argue that the ban was fair because Musk violated Twitter's rules by tweeting misleading information about Tesla's stock. Others say that the ban was unfair because Musk didn't actually do anything wrong and that Twitter is overreacting.
So what do you think? Is the Elon Musk Twitter ban an unfair move?
Some people are arguing that the ban is an infringement of free speech, while others say that Musk was clearly violating the terms of service.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

All transport modes have adopted essentially the same standard for packaging, marking and labelling. Differences between the codes are discussed below.
These specify the packaging which may be used for each dangerous good. These packing instructions restrict the style (drum, box, jerrican etc), material (plastic, steel, fibreboard etc) and maximum permitted capacity for a particular style/material combination, or the maximum capacity per single packaging.
As well as complying with UN specification packaging, air and sea modes may further restrict the quantity of dangerous goods that can be shipped in a particular type of inner packaging and the total quantity per outer packaging (combination packaging) or a single packaging (i.e. a closed head drum). The quantity limits imposed in the air and sea modes can be lower than those specified in the UN Recommendation Packing Instructions. It is vital to check the requirements specified in the relevant modal code.
The Land Transport Rule incorporates by reference NZS 5433, which refers to the UN packaging instructions.
Table 4 compares the allowable quantities that can be packed into a glass bottle inner packaging and a wooden box outer packaging for acetaldehyde.
Dangerous goods transported as small packages must comply with inner package quantity limits in Schedule 2 of the rule (Dangerous Goods in Limited Quantities and Consumer Commodities). The packaging must comply with clause 3.2(2) and 3.2(3) of the rule.
Land and sea transport use the same quantity limits, type and style of packaging. The requirements for air transport are substantially different (refer to ICAO Technical Instructions or IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for details).
The Land Transport Rule allows the abbreviation 'DGLQ' for dangerous goods in Limited Quantities. However, IMDG, ICAO and IATA do not recognise this abbreviation - their terminology is 'Limited Quantities' or 'Ltd Qty'. 'Ltd Qty' is also acceptable for land transport.
Packaging for the land and sea transport of dangerous goods in Limited Quantities has to meet the general requirements specified in the relevant code, but does not have to pass the UN performance tests (i.e. drop test, stack test etc).
Air transport requires packaging for dangerous goods in Limited Quantities to be able to pass the stack test and withstand a drop of 1.2m onto the point that is most likely to sustain damage. This is a similar standard to Packing Group II requirements (minus the need for official testing in an approved laboratory).
Shrink or stretch-wrapped trays are not acceptable for air transport.
These are dangerous goods in Limited Quantities for personal use or household use that are packaged and distributed in a form suitable for retail sale. The term Consumer Commodities is used by IATA in their Dangerous Goods Regulations and in the Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods 2005, Rule 45001/1.
Land transport offers reduced requirements for goods defined as Consumer Commodities. Its definition of Consumer Commodities includes goods intended for recreational use. The rule limits the quantity to 1,000 kg per load. Any part of the load that exceeds 1,000 kg must fully comply with the rule.
The IATA regulations recognise Consumer Commodities as a proper shipping name and assigns it to ID number 8000 (as opposed to a UN number), Consumer Commodities, and is classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods. Products that are packaged and identified as ID 8000, Consumer Commodities, Class 9 in accordance with aviation requirements may be transported on land in New Zealand under the Small Packages provisions of the dangerous goods rule. This enables IATA Consumer Commodities to be transported without any changes to the packaging or identification of the goods.
The term 'Consumer Commodities' is not used by the UN Recommendations or IMDG, however, reduced requirements for marking and labelling apply to dangerous goods in Limited Quantities for personal use or household use that are packaged and distributed in a form suitable for retail sale.
The UN Recommendations, IMDG Code, IATA Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions and NZS 5433:2007 provide additional information as special provisions for some substances.
These special provisions contain very important information and must be read. They specify additional or reduced requirements for certain circumstances and provide definitions for terms used.
The special provisions are usually listed in a table within the code. In all codes a reference to the applicable special provisions is given in the list of dangerous goods. For example, UN2465 DICHLOROISOCYANURIC ACID, DRY or DICHLOROISOCYANURIC ACID SALTS has the special provision that the dihydrated sodium salt is considered non-dangerous. Thus the dihydrated sodium salt of dichloroisocyanuric acid is not a dangerous good for transport.
The IMDG Code includes an additional set of special provisions numbered from 900. This numbering identifies them as being unique and is applicable to maritime transport only.
The UN Recommendations, IMDG and NZS 5433:2007 have traditionally written the Proper Shipping Name in upper case. Anything written in lower case is considered to be additional information. ICAO and IATA show the Proper Shipping Name by using bold typeface, rather than capital letters.
Some goods are considered too dangerous to transport. The IATA Regulations show these as being FORBIDDEN in the list of dangerous goods.
In special circumstances, the Regulatory Authority may approve the transport of certain forbidden dangerous goods.
The IMDG lists many substances as pollutants in the general index or alphabetical list. These are identified by a P for Marine Pollutant and PP for Severe Marine Pollutant or • for substances that are marine pollutants if they contain 1% or more of a Severe Marine Pollutant, or 10% or more of a Marine Pollutant. The Maritime Rule 24A and the IMDG currently require a special mark (triangular label depicting a fish with a cross through it) on packaging with the words 'Marine Pollutant' after the UN number on documents. There are additional stowage requirements and reporting requirements in the event of a spillage or loss. The marine pollutant mark will change with the introduction of revision 34-08 of the IMDG to a black diamond with the dead tree & fish symbol.
UN3082 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, LIQUID, N.O.S.
UN 3077 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, SOLID, N.O.S.
Packaging intended to contain liquids must be capable of passing an internal hydrostatic pressure test. The required test pressure is dependant on the liquid being packed and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The various codes specify the acceptable means of calculating and measuring the hydrostatic test pressure. They also specify minimum test pressures. When selecting packaging, it must be able to withstand either the determined test pressure or the relevant minimum test pressure, whichever is higher.
There are some significant differences in the minimum test pressures permitted by the various transport codes. Air transport requires a higher standard.
When using the actual liquid that the packaging is designed to contain, the minimum test pressure is 95kPa for all hazard classes, except for PG III of Class 3 and Division 6.1 where 75kPa is allowed. The reference for this is ICAO Part 6;4.5.3(a) and IATA 6.3.5.3.1.
When using the vapour pressure as an indicator, then the minimum test pressure for all hazard classes is 100kPa. References ICAO Part 6;4.5.3(b) and (c) and IATA 6.3.5.3.2 and 6.3.5.3.3.
For PG I liquids the minimum test pressure is 250kPa and ICAO Part 6;3.5.4.
For all inner packagings intending to contain liquids, the packaging must be capable of withstanding a pressure differential of not less than 95kPa for all hazard classes, except for PG III of Class 3 and Division 6.1 where they allow 75kPa, or, if using the vapour pressure as a standard, then the minimum pressure differential for all hazard classes and packing groups is 95kPa. The references are ICAO Part 4;1.1.6 and IATA 5.0.2.9.
Absorbent material: IATA requires absorbent material to be used with some goods (section 5.0.2.12.2). This should be compatible with the substance.
The minimum test pressure to take account of vapour pressure is 100kPa for PG II & III liquids and a minimum of 250kPa for Packing Group I liquids.
The 15th revised edition of the UN Recommendation (Chapter 3.5), ICAO Part 1, chapter 2, section 2.5 and IATA 2.7 allow very small quantities of some Classes of dangerous goods to be shipped as 'Excepted Quantities'. The packaging does not have to be UN certified packaging but it must be of good quality combination packaging, capable of withstanding the normal conditions of transport, and must be compatible with the dangerous goods. Incompatible dangerous goods must not be included in the same package.
IATA imposes additional labelling requirements.
Limited Quantities of some less-hazardous dangerous goods (e.g. those that are allowed to be carried on passenger aircraft) may be transported in non-UN specification packaging provided special provisions are met. These provisions are detailed in IATA's section 2.8. The packaging does not have to be officially tested in an approved laboratory to UN specifications, but it must meet the requirements of the relevant Packing Instruction specified in the relevant code.
The package must be capable of passing the stacking test and be able to withstand a drop of 1.2 m onto solid concrete in the position most likely to cause damage. IATA denotes limited quantity Packing Instructions by a capital letter 'Y' in front of the Packing Instruction number.
ICAO and IATA Packing Instruction 910 allows cosmetics, drugs and medicines (packaged for retail sale or distribution for personal or household consumption) to be packed in non-UN specification packaging to a total gross mass of 30 kg. Stretch or shrink-wrapped trays are not acceptable.
The IMDG Code allows limited quantity shipments of up to 30 kg per package. Quantity per inner package is restricted. No requirements are specified for strength, other than the package must be of good quality and capable of withstanding normal transport conditions.
The Land Transport Rule also provides dispensation for packaging dangerous goods in Limited Quantities and Consumer Commodities (Rule section 3.1 and 3.2(2)).
NZS 5433 and the Land Transport Rule allow Dangerous Goods in Limited Quantities and Consumer Commodities up to 30kg per package to be in packages that meet the general safety requirements of section 3.1 of the Land Transport Rule (see sections 2.3 and 3.2(2)).
It is not possible to deal with this subject in any depth in this document, other than to point out that some combinations allowable on land are not allowable at sea and vice versa. Consignors and freight forwarders involved in the land and sea consignment of dangerous goods must comply with the requirements of both modes. This includes vessels and roll-on/roll-off ferries operating on the New Zealand coast.
Table 5 shows the differences between segregation requirements for land and sea transport.
The Land Transport Rule and NZS 5433 make allowance for segregation devices on board vehicles. These are not accepted under the IMDG Code unless specifically permitted by Maritime NZ.
The IMDG Code requires that dangerous goods that require 'Away from' segregation (3m separation), or 'Separated from' segregation (6m separation) should not be packed in the same Cargo Transport Unit (CTU)SUP19 .
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations include segregation requirements for dangerous goods within packages and stowage segregation on board aircraft. Airlines will not accept cargo transport units packed by consignors or freight consolidators.
This table specifies the general segregation requirements – the IMDG Code may specify additional segregation requirements under stowage and segregation for individual goods.
* indicates land transport segregation is more restrictive.
** indicates marine transport is more restrictive.
Note 1: Cyanides (Class 6.1) must not be loaded in the same freight container or on the same vehicle with acids (Class 8).
Note 2: Strong acids must not be loaded in the same freight container or on the same vehicle with strong alkalis. (All Class 8 Corrosives in packing group I or II should be considered to be strong acids and alkalis. Some exemptions have been granted by Maritime NZ).
Note 3: Segregation devices may be used as specified in 6.4 of Land Transport Rule 45001/1. Segregation devices have not been approved for sea transport.
Labelling and placarding principles are common to all codes. The use, number, location and size of the placards varies, however all modes require all outer packagings to be labelled with Class labels.
Class and Subsidiary Risk labels: Subsidiary Risk labels are identical to Class labels.
Quantity: All dangerous goods transported by air or sea must be labelled. The same requirements apply to land transport, except a vehicle carrying small packages in an aggregated quantity less than 50 kg or 50 litres does not need to be placarded.
Location and number: A vehicle for sea transport must be placarded on two sides and the front and rear. For road transport, the same vehicle is required to be placarded front and rear. The minimum size for the placards is 250 x 250 mm. Bulk tankwagons are required to be placarded on both sides and the rear. The minimum placard size is 400 x 400 mm for land transport in New Zealand.
Dangerous placard: The black and orange striped 'DANGEROUS' placard used for land transport is not acceptable for air or sea transport. These modes require all Class and Subsidiary Risk labels/placards to be displayed. A vehicle placarded according to marine requirements is also acceptable under the Land Transport Rule. The converse, however, is not acceptable.
The Land Transport Rule section 5.2(7) requires a Container Packing Certificate or Vehicle Packing Certificate to be carried if the goods are in a closed, pre-packed freight container or vehicle. The certificate states the container and the goods have been inspected and that the packages are labelled and marked, segregated and secured in accordance with the Land Transport Rule.
The persons responsible for packing a freight container or vehicle must ensure that no dangerous goods which are required to be segregated under section 7.2 of the IMDG Code are packed within the same freight container or vehicle, intended for sea transportation, without the prior approval of Maritime NZ.
In addition to the placards, the IMDG Code requires full container loads of one dangerous good to be marked with the UN number. The number should be placed either in the lower-half of the Class placard or on a separate orange placard placed close to the Class placard (see IMDG section 8.7).
This code also specifies that dangerous goods that do not completely fill a freight container or cargo transport unit are to be placed immediately inside the doors of the container or be readily accessible in a transport unit (e.g. a vehicle).
It also requires those responsible for packing a container to provide a Container Packing Certificate declaring compliance with IMDG section 5.4.2 (also see 'Container Packing Certificate' above).
The IMDG Code has special provisions for intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and bulk containers. Under the Land Transport Rule, bulk containers other than IBCs must display an emergency information panel (section 7.2(5)).
Portable tanks for compressed or liquefied gases must comply with the Health and Safety in Employment (Pressure Equipment, Cranes and Passenger Ropeways) Regulations 1999 (HSE 1999), administered by the Engineering Safety Department of Labour. Tanks meeting the requirements of IMDG or the UN Recommendations are also considered to be in compliance with the HSE.

Chicago records 762 homicides in 2016, up 57 percent from previous year
(FOX News) - The city of Chicago recorded 762 homicides in 2016 -- an average of two murders per day, the most killings in the city for two decades and more than New York and Los Angeles combined.
The nation's third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents than it did in 2015, according to statistics released by the Chicago Police Department that underlined a story of bloodshed that has put Chicago at the center of a national dialogue about gun violence.
The numbers released Sunday are staggering, even for those following the steady news accounts of weekends ending with dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that hadn't been seen in years. The increase in 2016 homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years.
Police and city officials have lamented the flood of illegal guns into the city, and the crime statistics appeared to support their claims: Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2015, a 20 percent from the previous year.

Figure Fantasy
Figure Fantasy on PC – How to Get the Best Graphics, Performance, and Experience with BlueStacks
Download Figure Fantasy on PC
Figure Fantasy is the most fun anyone can have playing with action figures, without actually having to buy the action figures themselves. This title is a gacha RPG centered around a variety of anime-inspired figures that can come to life whenever no one's looking at them, similar to Toy Story, and that can wield a variety of different weapons and skills to fight against other animated creatures in fun and exciting real-time battles. Aside from the combat, the game is also an idle RPG where your figures continue grinding and farming even while you're offline, which makes it perfect for gamers who play on tight schedules.
Gameplay aside, Figure Fantasy is actually a very pretty game to watch, with top-notch 3D graphics, flowy and elaborate animations, and engaging and interesting cutscenes via which its story is relayed. Of course, this means that, in order to run it with acceptable performance, you'd need a good phone, which can set you back a considerable sum of money. Luckily, you can also play Figure Fantasy on PC with BlueStacks , and get the best experience with this game, without having to break the bank.
If you're looking for the best graphics and performance when playing Figure Fantasy, then BlueStacks is the platform for you. However, before you can enjoy your time with this game on your computer, you'll first need to make a few quick adjustments, which is exactly what we'll be explaining in this article.
Optimizing Your Graphics and Frame Rate
The problem with gaming on your phone is that, even if you have the best device currently available on the market, you'll still have to struggle with certain limitations and drawbacks, with the most notable being the fact that you'll have to play on a small phone screen. Moreover, even with the best phone, you'll still suffer from overheating issues, which can accelerate the wear and tear of the device, as well as battery drainage problems.
Simply moving from your phone to your computer can rid you of most of these problems. You no longer have to play on a small screen, you won't suffer from overheating, nor do you have to worry about draining your batteries. Moreover, you can crank your graphics to the maximum and enjoy the best visuals with a smooth frame rate. However, in order to get these settings, we need to make a few tweaks both in the emulator settings, as well as in-game:
Open the BlueStacks settings menu and go to the "Performance" section.
Assign 4 CPU Cores, 4 GB of RAM, and set the performance mode to "High performance". Also, set the FPS slider below to at least 60 FPS. Click on "Save changes".
Launch Figure Fantasy and, in the in-game settings, set the resolution to UHD and activate the High Frame Rate (HFR) option.
With these simple adjustments, your game will look and run spectacularly, far better than you could with most cell phones, and without any of the drawbacks.
Setting Up Your Controls
Aside from granting the best graphics and performance, BlueStacks also has a variety of tools designed to improve the experience of the user, one of which being the Keymapping Tool . With this feature, you can create and customize your own control schemes using your mouse and keyboard. In this sense, instead of having to manually click all over the screen, you can use a variety of keyboard shortcuts to make it much easier for you to win battles and play the game.
To access the Keymapping Tool, you only need to press Ctrl + Shift + A while in-game. By doing so, you'll notice that Figure Fantasy already has a predefined control scheme created by our team, and which covers most of the important functions. With this scheme, you can use your skills in combat with the number keys 1 through 5. However, you can add more functionality to it through the Keymapping Tool screen, by dragging and dropping functions from the rightmost panel. Just remember to click on "Save changes" when you're done in order to preserve your additions.
Play on Multiple Accounts at the Same Time
Though rerolling in Figure Fantasy isn't really recommended due to how long it takes to save up enough diamonds, players can still attempt it through the use of the pre-registration rewards from the game's launch. Moreover, they can make use of the BlueStacks Instance Manager when playing Figure Fantasy, which lets anyone create multiple instances of the emulator, and then use them to access the same game on different accounts simultaneously. The result is that you can play with many different accounts without having to switch them manually, which in turn will let you reroll much faster than on your phone.
To access the Instance Manager, you can simply press Ctrl + Shift + 8 at any time. In this screen, you may click on "New instance" on the lower right to create as many instances as your PC can handle. Afterward, by installing Figure Fantasy on each, you can access the game on all your instances simultaneously, and hopefully speed up the rate at which you can reroll in this game.
A good way to improve your experience with the Instance Manager is through the use of the Instance Sync feature . Once activated, this tool mirrors all the actions you perform on your current instance, across all other active instances. In this manner, you can simply play as you normally would on your main instance, and let BlueStacks handle all your other accounts for you, saving much time and effort that would otherwise have to be spent on progressing manually on each of your instances.
BlueStacks is the best way to enjoy Figure Fantasy on PC: with the best graphics and performance, and a plethora of tools at your disposal.

Today, is my last official day of my FIRST YEAR OF GRADUATE SCHOOL! This means I'm back in Colorado, frantically finishing school and getting ready for my summer internship in China.
But, here are a few links of internet gems from this week. Enjoy!
1. Game of Thrones characters drawn as they might look in the 90's. Weird!
2. 50 Things That Look Just Like Your Childhood.
3. I'm obviously a little homesick for Montana, but this graduation speech always makes me smile. Also, this amazing photo of what has to be a terrifying job–plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park.
5. I recently purchased these cute yet comfy shoes for travel. And, even though I'm not a huge fan of flip-flops generally, these form-fit to your feet and don't look sloppy!
6. This funny map shows the top Google auto-completes for each state. I laughed-out-loud at Montana, Nevada, Mississippi and Wyoming. Also, this world map shows International Number Ones (because every country is best at something)…America's is not ideal, but then again neither is Colombia's.
7. Although Kristin and Roy's wedding last weekend was a SUCCESS, i.e. I did not puke during my speech, my dress zipped, and most importantly the couple was over the moon happy, I'm already gearing up for the next wedding I'm in, at the end of August. For that wedding, my friend is attempting to make a dress like this for her bridesmaids. I love the idea of a convertible dress! Don't ask about the whole homemade part, though. It's giving me nightmares.
8. I am loving this color from Essie. Just like a shiny penny! Hence the name.
9. My favorite summer treat.
10. Finally, my Colorado Wish List has been updated! In one week, I will have the opportunity to cross off some to-dos from both my Wanderlist and my Life To-Do List.
Yes, I'm still here, but instead of graduation, we are now prepping for my best friend's wedding!
the beautiful bride-to-be and our friend–a bride-to-be in October! It's truly an epidemic.
I'm so happy for Kristin and Roy! There are such a fun couple and I can't wait to see where their life takes them! In addition, I can't wait for the festivities…last night, the bachelorette party, today the rehearsal dinner, tomorrow the WEDDING, and Sunday the wedding brunch! A whole weekend of fun and love celebrations. My favorite kind.
I hope you have a great long weekend ahead, as well!
1. An interesting rumor is swirling around Denver that we are getting this shop, a Portland classic. If it's true, I would be pretttttty happy, but my diet would be ruined.
3. Hilarious video of kids trying foods for the first time.
4. I'm addicted to this game. It's a fun way to see what different parts of the world look like!
5. If you haven't seen this video (This Kid Just Died. What He Left Behind) yet, you must. It turned me into a giant puddle (maybe so much I couldn't even finish it…). Watch it anyway. It's worth it! RIP, Zach. (Here's the celebrity video of his song, too).
6. Even though the news coming out of Oklahoma is not so great, here is proof that even in a disaster like this, everything is not always lost…like your pets.
7. Like this video I shared last week, these best road trips in America remind me how much I need to see in this country!
8. I follow this guy on Instagram…his girlfriend leads him around the world! A fun and unique idea.
9. The creator of the movie Brave bashes Disney for re-imagining the lead character in her Disney Princess role. What do you think?
10. I'll be in London on my birthday this year (if that sentence isn't my favorite ever…). We are thinking of doing this as I'm obsessed with all things Harry Potter (and we will for sure be riding the Harry Potter train in Scotland!). England is an English major's dream, really–so many novels have been set there! Any literary tours or spots recommended? I'd love to hear them!
For some reason, every time another one of my friends gets engaged this song immediately pops into my head.
It's kind of sad–I'm happy for them and I totally support their decisions and am probably slightly envious–but I assure you that it's (pretty much) ironic. It's mostly because the sheer amount of weddings that happen in the summer, and that have been happening in my life.
Last night, I went to another Bachelorette party.
It was a good time, complete with garlic fries, hard cider, homemade cookies, surprisingly detailed balloons featuring a certain part of a fella's anatomy (give it a guess) and the requisite risque lingerie, all taking place at a local restaurant called Weebee's.
I, of course, supplied the edible bra, because let's face it, every girl needs one of those.
My friend, even despite the balloons her super mature friends kept shoving in her face (maybe I had a little something to do with that…) and the scandalous undergarments (being opened on an open terrace of a restaurant…where else?) was glowing. That's so cliche, but it's so nice to see!
I've know this particular friend, Karli, since I was about in 2nd grade, and I'm psyched to see her so happy.
Bachelorette parties are also some of my favorite parts of weddings. You don't need a date, for one–even when I have a boyfriend I never have a date for a wedding, go figure–and who doesn't love to shop for edible underwear?!?
Well, my sister might not, but hey, it's my job as the older and wiser one to show her the ways of the world. (Muahaha).
I'm at the point in my life (well, at little earlier than I would like, maybe) where engagements and weddings are a common occurrence. I pretty much love weddings–they're so happy–which is a good thing because every year the wedding bells ring more often.
It gets me thinking about my wedding. If I even have one, that is. Sometimes I really want to get married here (you can rent it!), and sometimes here, and sometimes I just want to elope and not tell a soul.
Sometimes I don't even want to get married at all.
My mom informed me they've always figured I would have a big wedding–after all, my graduation party reached into the 200s of people.
Although it was combined with my friend Brian (who's currently with the Peace Corps in Kyrgyzstan–read his blog here–he doesn't believe in proof-reading but it's still entertaining) who happens to know the entire world.
Still, it kind of freaks me out that marriage is the next natural step. Don't get me wrong, I have a serious boyfriend that will soon be my live-in boyfriend, so who knows.
I may be the next one who bites the dust.
Okay, who am I kidding, I can barely write that much less seriously consider it. Guess I'm a late bloomer, as always!
(Except for the mammary area…I was way ahead of the curve on that one. I guess I'm just usually a late bloomer in the emotional department).

The Asics Noosa FF 2 is a smooth fitting race or training ready shoe with a design focused for triathletes. Several Asics specific tech features make this shoe a comfortable choice for most runners.
This shoe is built for triathletes, but would still feel like a solid shoe for runners as well. Runners who are looking for a moderate drop (10mm) and who are neutral or underpronate should consider this shoe.
The Asics Noosa FF 2 $140 MSRP puts it in a competitive shoe market with other fast trainer/racer shoes for long distances.
Similarly priced shoes in the same market would be the Clayton 2s (24mm forefoot, 4mm drop 8.3 oz, neutral), Altra Escalante (25mm stack, 0mm, 8.2 oz, neutral) and the Newton Fates (22mm forefoot, 4mm drop, 9.1 oz, neutral).
All of these shoes are popular in the triathlon world because of their relatively lightweight design and long run comfort.
The Noosa FF 2 features a 24mm heel height and a forefoot of 14 mm which gives runners a 10mm heel to toe drop.
Interesting to see this much of a drop considering other shoes popular with triathletes like Hokas or Altras usually have a drop less than 4mm.
This sets the Noosa FF 2 apart from the rest. The shoe weighs in at a respectable 8.4 ounces so you'll enjoy the lightweight feel during training or during racing.
Asics came out with the Noosa line to support the needs of a triathlete.
These different needs when compared to standard running are shoes that go on quickly, shoes that offer a comfortable sockless experience, shoes that are made for longer races (up to marathon distances), and shoes that are light but supportive.
Asics used a few existing pieces of tech in this line of shoes to make them race ready and daily training ready.
I was pumped to check these shoes out as I'm starting to take triathlon racing seriously and want to know if there really is a benefit for getting triathlon shoes vs regular running shoes.
Since I don't really run sockless much, I did the majority of testing with socks. I can say the shoe feels like you won't have problems if you like to run sockless.
First time lacing up the shoes and they did feel ready for a 5k+ race distance. Had no trouble keeping up with me on my 10 mile loop around Boston, so I was eager to push them in speedwork and longer runs over the next 50 miles of testing.
Asics kept close to their previous Noosa FF sole design, starting with the outsole. Their dual choice of rubber along with pattern is designed to grip better even on wet surfaces.
I looked into their "WET GRIP Rubber (TM)" outsole, anticipating to find only baseless claims of grippiness with no science, but found a nice explanation that makes some sense.
They start with rubber mostly used for studless snow tires (so a soft rubber that stays soft even in the cold) and mix in other materials like chaff.
These other materials stick out past the rubber to increase the contact area of the shoe. I'll have to assume the chaff Asics is referring to is the dry inedible plant material usually from cereal grains.
Odd stuff to see in a shoe, but I like the tech! Does it work? I think so, I had a few wet runs in Boston with the shoes and didn't feel the shoes slipping more than normal.
The real issue is that most running shoes have fairly good grip in the wet, and unless you're running on smooth concrete or bricks, you'll have enough traction already.
Above the WET GRIP Rubber (TM) outsole is Asic's FlyteFoam that is designed to give great energy return with the help of organic super fibers.
These organic super fibers reduce the packing out that happens with more standard lower density foams. Apart from giving the shoe the "FF" name, the FlyteFoam tech really does keep the shoe light and bouncy.
It feels stiffer/more responsive than Nike's Lunarlon foam, less squishy than Saucony's EVERUN foam. Probably best suited for someone who doesn't want a lot of cushioning, but wants a light and efficient shoe for the long run (this is Asics winking at triathletes).
Within the FLyteFoam is a Rearfoot GEL technology cushioning system to reduce shock. This is a common addition to many Asics shoes, where Asics has become a leader in reducing shock and making comfortable shoes.
Their GEL Nimbus shoes are one of the softest shoes I've run in, so the addition of their GEL in the rearfoot does make the shoe a bit more comfortable if you're looking to reduce shock.
First,you don't have too many color choices with the NOOSA FF 2. Black, or Yellow+Grey+Black for men, and Pink or Teal+Pink+Black for women.
Not a big deal, but be aware if you're the kind of athlete that only buys gear in a specific color palette. I'm looking at you, crazy triathletes who try to match their shoes with their bikes (and now I'm one of them trying to find orange+black+white shoes).
Since color doesn't really affect your running performance, I'll move onto describe the rest of the upper. You get a very breathable shoe.
Super important to consider if you're coming off of a bike and heading into a long run, or if you just want a shoe that breathes well.
Asics used a very open mesh design for the majority of the upper, where large holes with just a tiny mesh below it lets lots of air into the shoe.
The heel is a little more cut off from the air with a swirling asics logo and solid overlays, but that doesn't affect too much of the shoe's breathability.
One complaint with this minimalist upper around the toebox is that the outside of the upper seems to be a single piece of fabric, but on the inside of the same area of the upper beneath the toes is a small strip of fabric to reinforce the shape of the toe.
Everyone who makes a smooth looking shoe like this does it (Nike, Saucony, Skechers, Adidas), and it makes a difference if you have wide feet that might rub against this inner piece of fabric.
I'm one of those people. Not a deal breaker for me, just make sure to try these out before you buy.
The lacing system seems a little outdated. Sewn overlays around the eyelets and laces that pass over a springy mesh tongue makes that area of the shoe look a few generations older than what it really is.
Heat formed overlays (like how Nike did their eyelets on the Vapor Fly shoes), combined with thin that stays in place (like the tongue on the Saucony Freedom ISO or pretty much any shoe from Under Armour) would really spiff up the lacing system.
But in the end, this lacing system does the job and feels pretty standard. I just wanted more for $140.
Finishing up the upper is the heel. It's a low risk comfortable heel without any overlays to make it rigid in weird spots, or floppy areas for looks (that extended tongue off of Adidas Ultra Boost shoes won't get out of my mind).
But I think it's a little odd the shoe has no pull tab to help you get the shoes on quickly. Considering that this is aimed at Triathletes who love to put shoes on quickly to have a fast T2, I'm a little surprised there's no tab/loop/hook.
I always end up shoving my feet into tied shoes during T2, and use my fingers as shoe horns, so this tab won't really help me, but I could see it being something other triathletes look for.
Heel is mighty comfortable when you get the shoe on, and that's all that really matters, right?
The Asics Noosa FF 2 targets triathletes, hoping to lure them in with a light shoe that caters to comfort while not adding unnecessary weight.
Asics use of FlyteFoam and their GEL system keeps the landing comfortable, and their breathable upper keeps the foot from overheating.
Adding in a stiff heel that maintains shape if you're the kind of person who mashes shoes on quickly and you can see that this shoe has the right stuff to go into the transition area with a triathlete (it's even lighter than the predecessor).
However, the price point puts this shoe in a league of very competitive racing shoes that are not triathlete specific, so I would encourage triathletes to consider a few more shoes before landing on this one.
We purchased a pair of Asics Noosa FF 2 from runningwarehouse using our own money. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them.
I have enjoyed this shoe so far as well. This is my 2nd pair of Noosa having had a long background in New Balance and Brooks. I have found them to be pretty zippy off road as well in off road triathlon..i haven't tried them on very technical surfaces but they certainly do respond nicely off road in race situations.
Very light and comfy. Integrate all the key components of Asics – FlyteFoam, Gel and lightweight. A perfect Tri shoe.

It looks like I'm going to have a "different" winter.
My suspension begins December 3, 2013, which falls on a Tuesday, and ends on March 3, 2014, which falls on a Monday. But "ends" simply means that's when I can apply for a new license after passing a written test. Now I know the feeling of humilitation my father felt when he had to reapply for his permit, although he had lost his on grounds that his illness may have had rendered him insufficiently alert to drive.
Thankfully I live a block away from a métro station and there's a grocery store right next to it. I don't really need a car in Montréal. It's just that, for me, not having a car is like a cowboy without a horse. It's going to take some getting used to.
I also know myself well in some respects: As much as I have the willpower to accomplish some things and avoid others, I'm not convinced I can swear off driving with the temptation of a car downstairs in the garage. So, I'm thinking that I need to remove that temptation, and the first solution that came to mind is to bring my car to my sister's and leave it in her driveway for the winter, if she's willing.
As for the rest of my plans, I even figured out how to get by transit to the place where I will need to write my exam, and how will plan weeks in advance to take a vacation day from work or make arrangements to accumulate a day's worth of overtime because, of course, that exam is only given on weekdays.
I'm not tickled about any of this, but I'm not totally miserable about it, either. Being miserable about it wouldn't change the facts. Of course, if I'm reading the documents correctly, had those two extra points that pushed me over the edge appeared on my record two months and three days later exactly, I wouldn't be in this situation since the points from December 2011 would have dropped from my record. It's all the more unnerving given that I'm still not convinced that I was going the speed I was alleged to be going back then, but didn't have it in me to contest.
So, it is what it is — and an even quieter winter than I was expecting.
Is Home Really So Sweet?
So lots of day walking down snowy streets, contemplating the winter season then! At least it didn't fall during a time period where you had planned to be taking road trips, right?
Yes, that crossed my mind, Julia. In a way, it's probably the best season to happen. I'm even wondering if I should even bother with the winter tires at this point.

What was to be officially revealed at 11AM ET this morning has just been posted a few minutes ago, according to TSSZ News reader Superfield, who sent in a news tip to us.
We're taking about the Badniks section of the Sonic 4 website. You can go visit it now, but you may be disappointed to find an enemy you already know–and has already been revealed through leaks–Motobug.
The very first Badnik that Sonic ever encountered, this metal beetle returns to try and take down Sonic one last time! Watch out–as he will turn around to chase Sonic if he misses!
If nothing else, this may assure that the classic representation in Sonic 4 will even trickle down to the Badniks. But only a roster of nine enemies? Hm.
We'll continue to keep you up to date.

This episode of Tales from the Trenches contains two stories about transfers: one is about transferring mortgages and the other is about transferring property.
In theory, many mortgages are assumable, but in practice lenders in Alberta (and elsewhere) have been tightening up on their regulations. Some lenders just won't allow it at all, while others require full re-qualification. This Tale explains how a real estate investor got the bank to agree to a mortgage assumption after he held a property for just seven days!
For all your Alberta real estate law needs, contact Barry and he'll sort you out.

Inside Chelsea's new-look backroom staff under Graham Potter
September 18, 2022 MasterMind
Premier League bosses are like package deals. In modern football, few head coaches enter through the doors of a new top flight club on their own, without the support of their trusted backroom staff behind them.
When Chelsea owner Todd Boehly swooped in to lure Graham Potter away from Brighton with a lucrative five-year deal, the pair would no doubt have discussed which staff members the 47-year-old wanted to bring with him to Stamford Bridge.
On an individual basis, his Cinderella story from the fourth tier of Swedish football to the dizzying heights of the Champions League deserves high praise — although Potter would be the first to admit that his backroom staff had a huge part to play in his meteoric rise.
Chelsea's appointment of Graham Potter has sparked a reshuffle in the Blues' backroom staff
The new head coach launched his Chelsea career with a 1-1 draw against Red Bull Salzburg
Chelsea announced the club's new-look backroom staff ahead of their 1-1 draw against Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday, which includes five lieutenants from Potter's team at the Amex.
Despite a number of significant alterations following Thomas Tuchel's departure, Chelsea have also retained a couple of key figures in the dressing room in a bid to offer stability during the changeover.
As Potter continues to get to grips with life at Stamford Bridge, Sportsmail has listed and examined the individuals who make up his backroom staff.
Billy Reid – Assistant Manager
Having worked alongside Potter for nine years at Ostersunds, Swansea and Brighton, Billy Reid has taken the role of assistant manager at Stamford Bridge.
His only experience at the helm came between 2004 and 2013, when Reid managed Scottish outfits Clyde and Hamilton Academical, but the Glaswegian has since racked up almost a decade of experience as a deputy.
As Chelsea unveiled the new team on their club website, Potter insisted that Reid's know-how and interpersonal skills would benefit the Blues.

'Billy brings a lot of experience,' he said.
'Really good with people, building connections with people in the club and someone who the players really enjoy working with.'
With the help of Bjorn Hamberg, Reid took charge of Brighton against Leicester in January after Potter tested positive for coronavirus, leading the Seagulls to a 1-1 draw thanks to a late equaliser from Danny Welbeck.

Potter insisted that his experienced assistant excels at 'building connections' with the players
Away from the dugout, the Scot has reportedly supported Potter in various peculiar culture-building exercises.
With the help of local artist Karin Wahlen, Potter had his Ostersunds team and backroom staff perform a ballet to the music of Swan Lake.
Wahlen told Sky Sports in 2020: 'The players hated it at first. But we ended up having a lot of fun and life-time memories. And it gave them courage, too. It's not always the one who is the bravest on the pitch that is bravest on stage.'
Bjorn Hamberg – Assistant Coach
Swedish first-team coach Hamberg has been by Potter's side since the 47-year-old's very first season at Ostersunds.
Aged just 26 in 2011, the young coach joined after growing his reputation as a player-coach with the team he helped establish called BK Bjorner.
Assistant Bjorn Hamberg has worked with Potter since his first few days as Ostersunds boss
Speaking of his long-serving colleague, Potter said: 'I met Bjorn pretty much the first day I arrived in Sweden. We've obviously worked together since and got to know each other very well.
'He's a combination of a good person and a very capable person, so a really important member of the squad.'
Before breaking into football under Potter, Hamberg was a supermarket manager.
Bruno Saltor Grau – Assistant Coach
Establishing himself as a legend at Brighton, Bruno joined the Seagulls from Valencia in 2012 and went on to make 225 appearances for the south-coast club.
Since his retirement in 2019, Bruno has been a key member of the coaching staff at Brighton, looking to consolidate the club's status as a Premier League outfit after winning promotion from the Championship in 2017 under Chris Hughton.
Bruno made a heartfelt farewell to the Brighton fans after deciding to take up arms with Potter at Stamford Bridge.

He posted on Instagram: 'I don't know where to start, I don't know what to say. I'm heartbroken, probably like some of you. I have the same feeling that when I left home at 14 to chase my dream. Sure about my decision but broken inside.'
Bruno was the senior player development coach at Brighton and will likely take on similar role at Chelsea, tasked with improving player performance and growth.

Potter said in his interview with Chelsea: 'Bruno has had a fantastic playing career and was a legend at Brighton. Captain, huge personality, really impressive guy.
'He's on the start of his coaching journey but you can tell that he has a great manner, an intelligence, a humility and respect for people and is a top person.'
The Spaniard made 225 appearances for the Seagulls following his move from Valencia in 2012
Anthony Barry – Assistant Coach
A first-team coach for both Chelsea and the Belgium national football team, Anthony Barry has reclaimed his place in the Stamford Bridge dressing room, having never formerly worked with Potter.
The 36-year-old survived in west London despite the departures of Arno Michels, Zsolt Low and Benjamin Weber alongside former boss Tuchel, having joined the club at the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
Barry was set to become Chelsea's interim manager and take charge of last week's clash against Fulham, but the Blues' swift appointment of Potter — and the Premier League's postponement of the weekend's fixtures due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II — denied him of the opportunity.

During his playing days, the hard-working midfielder bounced around the English Football League, featuring for the likes of Accrington Stanley, Yeovil Town, Fleetwood Town and Forest Green Rovers, before finishing his career at Wrexham.
Whilst at Fleetwood, Barry famously earned back-to-back promotions alongside Leicester star and Premier League winner Jamie Vardy in 2012.
Henrique Hilario – Goalkeeper Coach
Having been at Chelsea for over a third of his life, Hilario remains one of the goalkeeper coaches at Stamford Bridge, despite Potter's arrival.
The 46-year-old joined the Blues as a player in 2006 and has since spent 16 years at the west London club.
Even during his playing days, Hilario was used to taking on an off-field role at the club, featuring just 39 times for Chelsea in eight campaigns at the club before his retirement in 2014.
Former goalkeeper Henrique Hilario has been with Chelsea as a player and a coach since 2006
In Portugal, he played 160 top flight appearances over a nine-year period.
Potter will be Hilario's seventh permanent manager since becoming a coach at Stamford Bridge, after Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink, Antonio Conte, Maurizio Sarri, Frank Lampard and Tuchel.

Ben Roberts – Goalkeeper Coach
Another member of Potter's coaching staff making the trip from East Sussex to the capital, Ben Roberts will join Hilario as a goalkeeper coach at Stamford Bridge.
The 47-year-old held positions at Yeovil and Charlton before joining the Seagulls in 2015 and also holds a degree in sports science.
Due to an injury to former Blues stopper Mark Schwarzer, Roberts featured for Middlesbrough in their FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea in 1997.
Ex-Seagulls coach Ben Roberts will be tasked with helping out-of-form keeper Edouard Mendy
Roberts' key responsibility at the Amex was nurturing and improving first-choice goalkeepers Mathew Ryan and Robert Sanchez, who each made significant improvements following their respective arrivals at Brighton.
Roberts and Hilario will be tasked with sorting out Chelsea's goalkeeper conundrum under Potter, with Edouard Mendy out of form and former record signing Kepa Arrizabalaga out of confidence.
'I'm just really looking forward to working with the goalkeepers here,' Potter said. 'Ben's really enthusiastic about what he does, he's a fantastic person.'
Kyle Macaulay – Recruitment
Finally, recruitment analyst Kyle Macaulay has taken up arms with Potter once again having been with him since his Ostersunds days.
The talent spotter unearthed and recruited a handful of hidden gems at Brighton, including Tottenham star Yves Bissouma and Manchester United summer target Moises Caicedo.
During Macaulay's time in Sweden with Potter, the Scot reportedly got involved with the manager's 'culture academy' project. although he was most remembered for his rapping rather than his ballet skills.
Talent spotter Kyle Macaulay was instrumental in recruiting Brighton star Moises Caicedo
According to Sky Sports, the 36-year-old closed out a rap performance with the lyrics: 'Scottish born in 1986, not from the streets but the Highland sticks, that's all I can say to the audience, hey, over and out from Kyle Macaulay.'
Whether it's finding Todd Boehly the next superstar talent, or animating the dressing room with an Eminem-inspired rap, Macaulay will continue supporting Potter as Chelsea's new recruitment analyst.

Abstract: This article focuses on the self-regulated learning processes of goal setting and perceived self-efficacy. Students enter learning activities with goals and self-efficacy for goal attainment. As learners work on tasks, they observe their own performances and evaluate their own goal progress. Self-efficacy and goal setting are affected by self-observation, self-judgment, and self-reaction. When students perceive satisfactory goal progress, they feel capable of improving their skills; goal attainment, coupled with high self-efficacy, leads students to set new challenging goals. Research is reviewed on goal properties (specificity, proximity, difficulty), self-set goals, progress feedback, contracts and conferences, and conceptions of ability. Ways of teaching students to set realistic goals and evaluate progress include establishing upper and lower goal limits and employing games, contracts, and conferences. Future research might clarify the relation of goal setting and self-efficacy to transfer, goal orientations, and affective reactions.


My mom sent this to me today via email, with quotes from someone attending the rally and a bunch of pictures.
The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin's rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photo gallery. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans. The citizens of Alaska, who know her best, have things to say.
Apparently, the same dynamic exists for hockey mamas. Can't all be put in the same basket.
What else could be accomplished by pulling together, spreading the word, and taking care of each other?

California, Canada, Texas Confirm Deaths From H1N1 Flu Virus
Posted byBy S.C Rhyne	| January 11, 2014 CommentsComments (0)
On Friday the California State Department of Public Health confirmed that seven people under the age of 65 have died from the H1N1 virus, also known as "swine flu."
California health officials said they will continue to investigate 28 more deaths to see if H1N1 was the cause.
Last month, Texas health officials announced that eight people were admitted to Conroe Regional Medical Center for influenza-like symptoms, and four had died. Officials there confirmed that two of the living patients have the H1N1 virus.
The Texas State Department of Health also conducts a weekly surveillance of the influenza virus, tracking mortality in pediatrics. As of Thursday, the death toll for children has reached five, and there are 1,254 lab-tested positive cases of an influenza virus this week alone.
The H1N1 strain is the same virus that brought about the 2009 pandemic that mainly affected children, pregnant women and the elderly. But it seems that this year, mostly young, healthy adults (under age 65) are being infected and in some cases, fatally so.
It is known so far that in one California case, a 30-year-old man from Coachella Valley died this week. The Riverside County health officials are looking into whether he had a flu vaccine or if there were other complications that could have attributed to his death.
Canada's Thunder Bay has confirmed the H1N1 strain in four out of five recent flu deaths.
February and March are peak times for flu season in many parts of the country and experts expect the number of flu cases to rise. Health authorities say it is not too late to get a flu vaccine and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone, six months and older, get an annual flu shot.
"Some people wrongly believe that it is too far into the flu season," Dr. Cameron Kaiser, a Riverside County's public health officer told the LA Times. "That is not the case. There is still time and the vaccine is readily available."

Congratulations to all the winners and thankyou to everyone who attended and made the event such a success. With over $20,000 profit made from the weekend, the future for Lake Boondooma fishery is looking very healthy. The annual competition for next year will be held 10-11 February 2018. Entry costs for the February event will remain at $20 for adults and $5 for juniors aged 16 years and under.
The ongoing support of the many generous sponsors ensured that a wide range of prizes and lucky draws were available for all competitors giving away over $40,000 worth of cash and prizes. Food and drinks stalls were provided by local community groups over the weekend and the great camping facilities provided by the South Burnett Regional Council were put to great use for campers staying at the lake.

Q: Deleting Duplicates from an Array of Classes and Sorting An Array By Date I am currently having two issues with two different arrays:
1)
In my Xcode project I have an array that contains users that is used for a tableView. Each user is part of a class called users:
class Users {
        let userObjectID : String
        let profilePhoto : UIImage
        let fullname : String
        let username : String

        init(userObjectID : String, profilePhoto : UIImage, fullname : String, username : String) {
            self.userObjectID = userObjectID
            self.profilePhoto = profilePhoto
            self.fullname = fullname
            self.username = username
        }
    }

When I look for an object, it is possible that 1 user can have the same object twice so it appends that user twice to the array and when the array is put to the tableView, the user shows up twice. How do I take out the duplicate user based on their userObjectID? I believe I will have to sort it out after getting the data, but I am not sure how to do this.
2)
The second problem is sorting another one of my arrays that contains a class by date before it is loaded to the tableView. Here is my class:
class Object {
    var id: String?
    var date: Date? //want to use for tableView order
    var owner : String?
    var ownerFullname : String?
    var ownerProfilePic : UIImage?
    var name: String?
}

I will like to sort the array by the 'date' that is in each 'Object' but I am not sure how to do this.
Any guidance on both or 1 of these issues will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A: *

*In order to remove the duplicates you could use a SET or just do something like this:

Creating and using this function:
func removeDuplicates(_ array: [User]) -> [User] {
    var result: User = []

    for user in users {
        if result.contains(user) == false {
            result.append(user)
        }
    }

    return result
}

2.In order to sort the array you could do:
array.sort {
    $0.date.compare($1.date) == .orderedDescending // it depends the order you want to use
}

A: class Users : Hashable, Equatable {
  let userObjectID : String
  let fullname : String
   var date: Date
  let username : String

  var hashValue: Int { get{
    return Int(self.userObjectID)!
    }
  }
  init(_ userObjectID : String, fullname : String, date:Date,  username : String) {
    self.userObjectID = userObjectID
    self.fullname = fullname
    self.date = date
    self.username = username
  }

  static func ==(lhs: Users, rhs: Users) -> Bool {
    return lhs.userObjectID == rhs.userObjectID
  }
}

let u1 = Users("1", fullname: "ssd", date: Date(), username: "3232")
let u2 = Users("2", fullname: "ssd", date: Date().addingTimeInterval(10), username: "3232")
let u3 = Users("2", fullname: "ssd", date: Date().addingTimeInterval(10), username: "3232")
let u4 = Users("2", fullname: "ssd", date: Date().addingTimeInterval(10), username: "3232")
let u5 = Users("5", fullname: "ssd", date: Date().addingTimeInterval(10), username: "3232")
let u6 = Users("6", fullname: "ssd", date: Date().addingTimeInterval(-100), username: "3232")

let arr = [u1, u2, u3, u4,u5,u6]

let postsSet = Set(arr)

print(postsSet.map{$0.userObjectID})

//date..
let results  = arr.map {$0}.sorted { (u1, u2) -> Bool in
    return Calendar.current.compare(u1.date, to: u2.date, toGranularity: .second) == .orderedSame
}

print(results.map{$0.userObjectID})

A: *

*let unique = Set(allUsers)

*objects.sort { $0.date.compare($1.date) == .orderedDescending }

A man jumped out of a taxiing airplane at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport
Southwest Flight 4236 from Colorado Springs arrived safely in Phoenix, Southwest Airlines said in a statement.
Southwest Airlines spokesman Dan Landson said: "Preliminary reports indicate that a customer exited the plane through the back door as the flight was headed for the gate." "The flight captain intercepted the aircraft and informed Air Traffic Control (ATC)."
It is not clear how the plane's door was opened.
Phoenix Fire Station 19, which is located at the airport, was notified of the incident at approximately 8 a.m., Phoenix Fire Department Captain Todd Keller said in a statement.
Keller said the man landed on the tarmac and went to the fire station, broke into the building and locked himself in a dorm room.
"After a few minutes, firefighters were able to open the door to the adult male, where he was assessed, treated and taken to a local hospital for a lower extremity injury," the fire captain said.
Southwest Airlines said officials responded to the incident, after which the flight "continued to its designated gate."
A spokesman for Phoenix Police told CNN they were "aware of the incident, and the investigation is ongoing at this time."
It is not clear whether the man will face charges.

In python, it was easy to use "Functions" but I recently learnt that java doesn't have something similar to that. I have a method which should return the lowest value out of n1 and n2. I'm getting an error in the line public static int minFunction...

But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the syntax.
JButton btnCompute = new JButton("Compute");
    btnCompute.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            try {

                int n1=5;
                int n2=4;
                int minValue= minFunction(n1,n2);

                public static int minFunction(int n1 , int n2) {
                       int min;
                       if (n1 > n2)
                          min = n2;
                       else
                          min = n1;

                       return min;
                    }
                }

            catch(NumberFormatException ex){

            }
        }
    });

A: If you want to call method from listener implementation, put it out side implementation. For example,
JButton btnCompute = new JButton("Compute");
public void handleAction() {
    btnCompute.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            try {

                int n1 = 5;
                int n2 = 4;
                int minValue = minFunction(n1, n2);

            }

            catch (NumberFormatException ex) {

            }
        }
    });
}
public int minFunction(int n1, int n2) {
    int min;
    if (n1 > n2)
        min = n2;
    else min = n1;

    return min;
}
