Q: how can I add a django array element into a js array using an if condition I have a Django project with data being submitted by form , I am trying to use chart.js to display the data. I need to check whether an array exists() if so then add an item to  'labels' array in 'mycharts.js' . Heres what I have so far
django views.py
    ing1 = request.POST.getlist('ingredients1')
    ing2 = request.POST.getlist('ingredients2')
    ing3 = request.POST.getlist('ingredients3')

( I've passed the above into my context )
mycharts.js
var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'bar',
    data: {chart.js
        labels: ['{{ing1.0}}', '{{ing2.0}}', {% if ing3|length > 1 %} '{{ing3.0}}', {% endif %}],
        datasets: [{
            label: '# of Votes',
            data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
(etc...)

if I take out the if statement inside of 'labels' array , then it shows the 'ing1' and 'ing2' headings , but I can't get it to work with this if statement , whats the correct way of doing it.

A: I put 'ing1, 'ing2' and 'ing3' into a list called 'title' inside my views , then put that list into the context , then did the following inside the chart.js script :
{% for item in title %} '{{ item }}', {% endfor %}

now it adds the correct data to the labels array.

Smoking is costing us all
25th September 2013 (27th February 2020) Politics and PolicyHealthcare, Smoking
John Griffiths reports on new research on the economic impact of smoking on the Welsh economy
Smoking is the greatest single cause of avoidable death in Wales. It continues to kill more than 5,000 people a year and tempts the equivalent of a classroom of Welsh children to take their first puff every day. But as well as our health, it's also costing our economy.
A new report published today by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Wales reveals that smoking is costing Wales £790.66m a year, putting increasing pressure on businesses and the NHS. Of that, £302 million is spent on healthcare as a result of smoking-related illness and £288 million is lost to productivity through premature deaths. Welsh companies are also taking a hit from the £49.5 million lost through excess sickness absence as well as £41 million through smoking breaks.
Add to that the £25.8m spent each year clearing up smoking-related litter in our communities and it's a devastating burden our fragile economy can ill afford.
Significantly the figures also show the cost of smoking to the Welsh economy is now £145m more than the amount tobacco generates in tax.
Evidence shows that the vast majority of adult smokers in Wales want to stop but the gap between the desire to quit and actually doing so remains stubbornly large, with smoking rates remaining stagnant at 23%.
To achieve the Welsh Government's aim of reducing smoking prevalence to 16% by 2020 we need significantly more investment in quit smoking support to make services more accessible. We need to provide more cessation services in the community, particularly in deprived and rural areas and support needs to be more widely available where people are likely to engage in them, such as workplaces, pubs and clubs, job centres, libraries, community centres and mobile quit smoking units.
However interventions and quit campaigns need to be part of a comprehensive package of measures that also discourages young people from ever starting to smoke.
The long term solution is to prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers.
Further legislation is needed to restrict smoking in public areas especially where children are most likely to be found such as play areas, beaches and outside the school gates.
We must also ban the glossy packaging produced by tobacco manufacturers that makes cigarettes look like fashion accessories. A product that will prematurely kill half of all its long term users should not be contained in packaging that looks like perfume, lipstick or lego. While the Westminster Government drags its heels on introducing standard packs for tobacco, Scotland plans to legislate next year and Wales must do the same.
Legislating for a ban on smoking in cars carrying children will protect young people from the harm of passive smoke as well as de-normalise smoking as an everyday activity. Evidence shows that children are more likely to take up smoking themselves if they see family members and people around them smoking. Other nations are already taking the step to ban smoking in cars and with 83% of adults in support of the move in Wales, we too must show that we are committed to tackling the underlying contributors to our 23% smoking rate.
We at ASH Wales are working with local authorities across Wales to implement bans on smoking in playgrounds with many councils committing to extend their smokefree policies around their schools, leisure centres and sports grounds.
We believe we can create a healthier society provided we are willing to take the bold steps necessary steps in terms of legislation, education and helping people to quit. Wales after all was the first UK nation to call for a ban on smoking in enclosed public premises.
But we need to do more, and with the prospect of an overarching Public Health Bill for Wales, now is surely the opportunity to address some of the bigger social challenges that threaten our health and our economy such as tobacco marketing and smoking behaviour around children.
Smoking is an addiction that starts in childhood – we must protect future generations by giving them fewer reasons to start and an economy that is free from the burden of tobacco.
John Griffiths is the new Chairman of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) in Wales.
2 thoughts on "Smoking is costing us all"
T Williams says:
Let's just take the plunge and make some radical legislation (e.g. anyone now under 18 will not be permitted from ever buying tobacco so that smoking is phased out – before being made illegal). Or how about smokers automatically forfeit their right to certain NHS treatments.
Also smoking that causes others to passive smoke should be a criminal offense. What about prison terms for anyone who gives tobacco to minors. Let's be radical and lead the world in wiping out this disgusting, smelly, poisonous and costly vice once and for all.
R.Tredwyn says:
Blimey. Ever heard of the 'war on drugs'? Or alcohol prohibition in the United States? What great successes they were! If you create more crimes you create more criminals with all the costs involved. Discourage by all means but don't criminalise.

We must reset our diplomacy
Export restrictions from Japan against chip-making materials bound for Korea over a wartime labor row has raised an alarm on the economic front. Tokyo must take back its retaliatory action over past issues. But in the meantime, Korea must come up with immediate solutions so as not to cause manufacturing unrest and corporate damages. Litigation with the World Trade Organization (WTO) could take years.
The government must deal with the looming crisis. The National Security Office (NSO) of the Blue House last month denied that the relationship with Japan was the worst it had ever been. Instead, it claimed bilateral ties had always been rocky. The government stayed casual even as it tried to arrange a separate meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the G-20 Summit in Osaka last week. The government doubted the host country could be so rude towards its guest. Seoul scrambled till the last minute after receiving no invitation for separate talks, but got nothing more than a photo session with the host.
Korea's dignity has hit the ground. During the talks on the sidelines of G-20 Summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping called upon President Moon Jae-in to solve the problem of a U.S. antimissile system installed in Korea. Xi brought up the issue once again although Seoul has complied with Beijing's demands and promised not to bring in more antimissile shields or join a tripartite missile front with the United States and Japan. Xi happily agreed when Abe asked him to visit Tokyo during the cherry blossom season next spring. But Xi kept mum on Moon's request for a visit to Seoul.
The relationship with Washington also has stayed ceremonious. Moon just got two minutes of U.S. President Donald Trump's time when he flew to Washington in April. Washington is said to be reluctant to share intelligence with Seoul. Regardless of the showy historic three-way meeting with the two Korean leaders and U.S. president in the truce village of Panmunjom, the denuclearization process remains uncertain, as their approach to solving the North Korean nuclear issue differ.
While the government has been all out in its engagement of Pyongyang, a North Korean vessel stealthily entered South Korean waters without any restrictions. Most people are stunned to learn how insecure South Korean borders have become. Peace cannot be guaranteed just because North Korea vowed nonaggression through a military agreement in September last year. The Blue House is trying to wrap up the issue with an apology from the defense minister and a warning to the NSO. But there should be a thorough investigation into the matter to ease public anxieties over security.
The impotence of chiefs on the security and diplomatic fronts must be re-examined. The foreign and security affairs team, including the NSO head Chung Eui-yong, failed to show any insight, expertise and sense of balance. There are talks of a cabinet reshuffle. The Blue House must replace the foreign and security team with more competent people to restore dignity and help our national interests.

Say What: Is Atari making a Comeback?
Do you remember playing your Atari back in the day and suffering your first ever RSI moment? Ahead of the recent E3 - Electronic Entertainment Expo the company has teased a new product dubbed the Ataribox.
The company which first surfaced back in 1972, unveiled a short trailer last week, which appears to tease a new Atari console, but other than that, details are scarce.
The title refers to "A brand new Atari product. Years in the making." It shows a device styled after the original retro consoles, with a wood grain pattern and black plastic.
Despite the timing of the news, details about the Ataribox have yet to be unveiled.

Best Sound Deadening For Cars Buying Guide
Before choosing the best sound deadener for car you should consider following options:
1. Sound Damping and Insulation: Many people use the terms "sound deadening" and "sound dampening" interchangeably. But in fact, they are two completely different things.
Sound dampening is a process of reducing the amount of sound that travels from the engine bay to the cabin. This is done by adding layers of foam and absorbing materials to reduce the sound.
Sound deadening is a process of eliminating the internal vibrations and noise that is created by the engine. It is done by adding soundproofing materials to the body and engine parts.
The reason this difference is important to understand is that damping is easier to achieve than deadening. You can achieve better damping by adding acoustic insulation to the doors and floor of your car.
On the other hand, deadening a car is much harder to achieve. You will need to replace the stock body panels and engine parts with new ones that are made from materials that are more resistant to vibrations.
2. Soundproofing for Your Car: A lot of people think that their car is already soundproofed. But in reality, most modern day cars are not soundproofed at all.
It is important to realize that soundproofing is a must if you want to get the best possible experience from your car's stereo system.
The cabin of your car is the final destination of all the noises created by the engine and other parts of your car. So it is important that it is well insulated from these noises.
If your car's cabin is not well soundproofed, then all you will be able to hear is the noise of the stereo system playing.
You want to avoid this situation as much as possible. This is why you will need to invest in a good soundproofing system. There are a lot of readymade soundproofing kits that you can get for your car.
You can also easily make your own soundproofing system by adding acoustic insulation to the doors and floor of your car.
3. Types of Sound Deadeners: Sound deadeners are available in two main types.
The first type is the self-adhesive type, which is often referred to as tape. These deadeners are easy to install and can be done by anyone.
The second type is the mat-based deadening, which is also known as a bulk deadener. This type needs to be cut to size before it can be installed.
The mat-based deadening is a lot more effective at damping vibrations. But it is also a lot harder to install.
4. Amount of Sound Deadening: The more deadening that you add to your car's body and engine parts, the quieter the noise will be.
But how much deadening you need will depend on a lot of factors. The biggest factor will be the type of stereo system that you are installing.
The second biggest factor will be the amount of damping that is achieved by adding insulation to the doors and floor of your car.
The third biggest factor will be the amount of damping that is achieved by replacing the stock engine parts with new ones.
The last, but not the least, factor will be the amount of damping that is achieved by replacing the stock body panels of your car with new ones.
5. Cost of Sound Deadening: Sound deadeners are available in different price ranges. The price of deadeners will depend on a lot of factors.

The review may result in a change to the child support amount. If the amount changes, it may go up or it may go down.
If you have an open child support case with ORS, you may request ORS to review your child support order. The request for a review must be in writing. If you do not have an open child support case with ORS, you will need to apply for child support services prior to requesting a review.
If you have an open child support case with ORS, upon written request from either parent, ORS will ask for certain documents that are needed to complete the request for review. These documents include (at a minimum) a completed Financial Statement, verification of each parent's yearly gross income, and a copy of the Findings of Fact for Judicial orders. Additional information may be needed on a case-by-case basis.
3. your order does not require a parent to have insurance for medical expenses for the child(ren). ORS may request that the order be modified to require a parent to get insurance, if it is available at a reasonable cost.
for other issues, such as visitation or custody.
Due to provisions in your existing order(s), there may be additional reasons that ORS cannot adjust your child support amount.
ORS may be assisted by attorneys from the Utah Attorney General's Office. They are the State's attorneys. They represent the State and are not personal attorneys for either parent.
ORS may be assisted by child support agencies in other states depending on where the original support order was issued and where the parents and child(ren) currently reside.

The Kerouac Rag, Issue No. 3 (Spring 2005)
Devon, England: The Kerouac Rag, 2005. First Printing. Softcover. "Forty years ago [1965] Jack Kerouac wrote a heartsick, but deeply premature epitaph for what he called the 'special idea of footwalking freedom' in America. This was the freedom of the wanderer, the hobo, the bum, the beatnik, the hitchhiker, the world of those who in his time went on the road….His friend, poet Gary Snyder, once saw "a vision of a great rucksack revolution by millions of young Americans.' But that hope had gone when he wrote his book of essays and sketches, 'Lonesome Traveler,' in 1960. 'I myself was a hobo,' he said, 'but I had to give it up because of the increasing television stories about the abominableness of strangers with packs. You can't be alone even in the primitive wilderness anymore. There's always a helicopter. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing to do is to sit in a room and get drunk" (from the excellent inaugural contribution to the issue, "They call him the wanderer…" by John Ezard). Addressing, now our internet clientele more specifically: if you've been keeping tabs on our weekly "New Arrivals" and by chance have seen Issues Nos. 1 & 2 of "The Kerouac Rag," you might think as I did — that Griffey's once (comparatively) gaunt (though nevertheless collectible-&-charming) first two issues of the magazine together don't come close to the voluminous and nutritious Beat-scholarly compendium that is Issue No. 3 of The Kerouac Rag. The magazine seems to have gotten a personal trainer during the 4-year "offseason" between the second and third issues of The Kerouac Rag, because this issue is JACKED (see what I did there?). While this wildly endowed — perhaps "rebirthed" — instantiation of The Kerouac Rag is simply brimming with contributors, we will endeavor to list only the contributions of those included in the Author field, above (for the purposes of this curation). As advertised near rightmost fine-edge of the work's front cover, the issue continues (after Ezard's piece, lengthily quoted above) with a deeply insightful interview of Carolyn Cassady conducted by Rob Johnson. Alan Griffey, the magazine's dutiful editor and General Secretary of the "Critteroonies" (to which he is always referring in his editorials; the word itself having been taken from 'page 160 of On the Road,' according to Griffey) works overtime in this issue, his contributions totaling ten. The late, great Jim Burns appears with a review of David Meltzer's "San Francisco Beat: Talking with the Poets"; the indefatigable Brian Hassett appears with "The Author, The Auctioneer, and The Altruist,"; the equally dogged Gerald Nicosia appears with "The Fate of the Memory Babe Archive"; and saving "the best" for last, as our allegiances request and Devotion instructs—the indispensable James Grauerholz, paramount authority on all things WSB and treasured friend of Third Mind Books, appears with "Military Burroughs." Trade-softcover format literary magazine: the first and only printing of this scarce (& dependably surprising), Kerouac-focused periodical. From the collection of Kevin Ring, publisher of Beat Scene magazine & other indispensable productions (many available here), & our good friend. Magazine in strong near fine condition with minute-to-moderate shelf-wear, rubbing to fine-edges & corners of front, back covers; ever so slightly more pronounced exhibits of rubbing near fine-edges & spine-edge of same; tiny assortment of minute-to-minor scuffing to rightmost fine-edge of back cover near top right-hand corner; moderate-to-pronounced chipping, bump-creasing to right-hand corner of back cover at same. Near Fine. [Item #5155]

Firefighter sues over pregnancy-related sick days
PAT EATON-ROBB, Associated Press
Sep 30, 2014 at 6:30 AM Sep 30, 2014 at 6:30 AM
HARTFORD — A Connecticut firefighter says in a federal civil rights lawsuit that she was unfairly disciplined by a city fire department and forced to take unpaid leave because she was pregnant.
Bridgeport firefighter Regina Scates said in her lawsuit in U.S. District Court that the department's actions violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act.
The 37-year-old Scates alleges she was unfairly disciplined last year for taking pregnancy-related sick days and then forced to take an unpaid maternity leave, despite allowances for unlimited paid sick leave for non-pregnancy-related physical disabilities. She said she was still capable of working when she was placed on leave.
She is seeking unspecified monetary damages.
"They treat pregnancy leave different than they treat other injury or sick leave," said her attorney, Thomas Bucci. "Our claim is that is a discriminatory practice. A change in that policy is one of the things we'd like to see come of this lawsuit."
Scates was placed on administrative duty after she provided the department with a doctor's note in May 2013. The note informed the city that she should not be lifting anything over 35 pounds or working any shift longer than eight hours during the remainder of her pregnancy, according to the lawsuit filed Friday.
She was then given verbal and written warnings in August after taking seven sick days, something the department termed as "excessive absences."
"The defendant's conduct was even more outrageous because it was fully aware that the plaintiff was pregnant and had been absent due to her pregnancy related condition," Bucci wrote in the lawsuit.
Scates, who gave birth in January, says she was involuntarily removed from administrative duty and forced to take unpaid maternity leave Sept. 1, 2013. She believes she could have continued her "light-duty" work for at least two more months, her attorney wrote.
The city later changed the leave to a paid sick leave, under the Family and Medical Leave Act, after Scates complained, according to the lawsuit.
Scates alleges that because she was placed on maternity leave early she was forced to exhaust that paid leave before her child was born.
William Kaempffer, the city's public safety spokesman, said the lawsuit will be addressed "at the appropriate time, manner and forum."
"However," he said, "we're very cognizant of complying with the law. She never missed a single day of pay either during her pregnancy or since she had her child."

Tivoli - Villa d'Este - Fontana di Nettuno
Tivoli - Villa d'Este - Gardens e Neptune's Fountain
Tivoli - Villa d'Este - Oval fountain
Tivoli - Villa d'Este - One Hundred Fountains
The magnificent Villa d'Este in Tivoli is one of Italy's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Just a brief train ride from Rome, Villa d'Este was originally commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (Governor of Tivoli in 1550). The Cardinal, disappointed that he was not elected pontiff, wished to bring to Villa d'Este the luxury of the Ferrarese, Roman and French Courts and, above all, to match the luxury found in Hadrian's Villa.
Villa d'Este's concentration of fountains and grottoes represented a model emulated in gardens throughout Europe, specifically those done in the Mannerist and Baroque styles. The most noteworthy garden in this regard is that of the Royal Palace of Caserta, near Naples.
Of particular interest are the rooms on the piano nobile – nobles' floor – decorated and painted by a large group of Roman artists of the late Mannerist school, among the most famous of whom were Livio Agresti and Federico Zuccari.
What stands out most at the Villa is, of course, the marvelous garden, conceived by the painter and architect Pirro Ligorio, and constructed and landscaped by the Court architect Alberto Galvani with the help of countless artists and artisans.
After its most splendid period, the Villa fell into a state of abandon sometime between the 18th and 19th Centuries; it was only around the 1850s that, thanks to a masterly restoration, the Villa returned to its original glory. From that point, several important artists were guests at the Villa, including the musician Franz Liszt, who composed "Water Games at Villa d'Este", and held one of his last concerts there (1877 and 1879, respectively).
Restoration works and maintenance have continued up until the present day, and Villa d'Este and its garden are some of the most visited sites today.
Defined by terraces, staircases, and grand slopes and promenades, the garden evokes the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, while the water transport system, with an aqueduct and a tunnel under the city, resembles the highly-advanced engineering of the Romans.
The 100 Fountains lining the longest promenade also make a strong impact on the scenography, and no doubt contributed to the gardens' turns as the background for several films – such as the banquet scene in William Wyler's "Ben Hur".
To the left of the promenade is the Fontana dell'Ovato, the most Baroque fountain here, endowed with the extraordinary visual effect produced its rocks, massive ornamentation and the streams of water representing the three Rivers flowing from the Tiburtine Hills: the Aniene, Erculaneo and Albuneo. In Antiquity, water from the Aniene flowed to the fountain, transported via canal.
Looking from the villa, one can see the Grotta di Diana (Diana's Cave) on the left, elaborately decorated on the exterior. Originally, statues were kept on the interior, including one of Diana the Huntress, but they were later acquired by Pope Benedict XIV, who had them transferred to the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
Below the three-level promenade of the 100 Fountains is the Fountain of the Dragons, that, due to its central position, is in the heart of the garden.
Legend holds that the fountain was completed in only one night, in September, 1572, as an homage to Pope Gregory (Boncompagni) XIII, who was a guest at the Villa and whose family crest contained winged dragons.
In the lower part of the garden resides the Rotonda dei Cipressi, a rounded piazza with giant, centuries-old cypress trees.
Finally, the most impressive and imposing fountain is Fountain of Neptune, realized by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (later restored in the 20th Century).
The fountain's beauty made it a prime example that was copied by numerous artists and architects during the 1700s.
Below it, three small, reflective fishing ponds complete the scenery already blessed by the Neptune, while above stands the Fontana dell'Organo, named for a mechanism inside the fountain that, by means of water, creates notes similar to that of an organ – this effect can still be heard by visitors today.

Essential viewing
scc	in Film, nostalgia, Parenthood	 January 9, 2019 September 30, 2019 1,235 Words
The other day, I watched Jason and the Argonauts with my four-year-old son. It was one of my favourite films to watch as a boy (on many a rainy Bank Holiday) so I thought he might appreciate the sword fights and variety of weird and wonderful mythological creatures. So we snuggled up on the sofa together and watched as Pelias brutally murdered one of King Aristo's daughters, coldly running her through with his xiphos as she cowered beneath a statue of the goddess Hera.
"She's fine…she's just sleeping," I said, reassuringly. (I'd forgotten about the beginning of the film.)
"Is she dead?" my son asked.
"Yes. Yes, she is." I solemnly replied.
But once we got past the murderous opening scenes, it felt like a 'moment' to be sharing the film with my son. I watched with muted delight as the creatures, monsters and Gods appeared on-screen: The Children of The Hydra pushing their way up through the dry earth, bones clacking as each skeleton formed; Triton rising from his subaqueous kingdom to hold the Clashing Rocks apart, providing safe passage for the Argo; Jason and his crew capturing the two Harpies who were cruelly tormenting King Phineus. He seemed to enjoy it all!
He only watched from behind the sofa when Talos creaked to life and stepped down from his plinth, while I silently marvelled at Ray Harryhausen's fine attention to detail (the mint green patina on Talos' bronze body is just superb). On every subsequent viewing he's asked me to fast-forward through that particular scene, only allowing me to resume normal play at the point where Jason removes the cap on Talos' heel, resulting in a flood of steaming, lava-like ichor gushing out. He won't watch the statue come to life but he'll happily watch its death by exsanguination, which sees Talos desperately clutching his throat before collapsing on the beach in pieces, crushing Hercules' sidekick, Hylas, in the process.
"Did he get squashed, daddy?" my son asked.
"Yes. Yes, he did." I solemnly replied.
It's always a bit of a thrill when my son enjoys classic films from my childhood. Last year, we watched Bedknobs & Broomsticks and he absolutely loved watching the Nazis being repelled by a ghostly army of medieval armour and military uniforms, all magicked into life by Miss Price's Substitutiary Locomotion spell. (And it's never too soon for your children to enjoy watching Nazis getting their asses kicked.) The same scene used to capture my imagination, too. So when my son started excitedly shouting "Go on, knights! You can do it!", I had a golf ball-sized lump in my throat that choked me harder than Angela Lansbury's rendition of 'The Age of Not Believing'.
With my son's love of all things knights and castles, I also bought him Disney's The Spaceman and King Arthur (aka Unidentified Flying Oddball), which I loved as a kid. Sure, with adult eyes, you can clearly see the wires attached to the NASA jet pack during the final battle scene. But with a stellar cast that includes Kenneth More, John Le Mesurier, Jim Dale, Rodney Bewes, and Ron Moody, I can happily overlook some of the more shoddy special effects.
We've also tried introducing him to Star Wars, but there were lots of questions throughout. I'm not sure how much of the film he understood. A few days after the viewing, he spotted Chewbacca in an advert and referred to him as "the funny bear". He also started marching around the house with his lightsaber, where he would enter rooms and announce that he was "Star Wars", as if the film was a biopic about someone of that name. (Similar to having a name like "Paul Space Battle" or "Duncan Solar System".)
I've started mentally listing other essential viewing for when my son is of appropriate age. For instance, he can watch the original 1987 version of Robocop and let out a hearty cheer when the knife-wielding rapist gets shot in the dick. Another must-watch is Red Dawn, where he can learn how to fight an insurgency if we're ever invaded. Although that, too, must be the original 1984 version (once hailed as the most violent movie ever made by the Guinness Book of Records) not the heavily diluted 2012 remake. It's important for him to learn that if you betray your friends during wartime, they'll execute you for being a traitor. They won't give you the Kylie Jenner Pepsi ending, where you get to coolly flash the victory sign as they drive off and leave you by the roadside to update your fucking Instagram account or something.
My son will also need to observe some of the more stringent laws that surround film viewing. For instance, if he's idly flicking through the EPG late at night and stumbles across Point Break (1991), Total Recall (1990), The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Lethal Weapon (up to Lethal Weapon 3), or Die Hard (up to Die Hard with a Vengeance) – regardless of how much of the film he's missed or how tired he feels – he must watch them to the end. Furthermore, "Vaya con Dios" and "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" will enter his lexicon, and whenever he hears the phrase "diplomatic immunity" he will automatically repeat it via a Joss Ackland impression, followed by "It's just been revoked!". Even if he's in a job interview at the time, or on a first date, or at a funeral.
But it's not just the watching of the films, it's the additional memories that go with them. After watching Clash of the Titans when I was six-years-old, I wrote to Jim'll Fix It to ask if I could see how the special effects were done – mainly because I envisioned a three-foot long model of the Kraken appearing from the arm of Jimmy Savile's chair as a participatory gift for me. (One day, my son will understand the sense of relief that my letter went unanswered.) And when I was 7-years-old, I cried so much after watching King Kong tumble from atop the Empire State Building, amid a swarm of Curtiss Helldiver biplanes, that I almost de-molecularised into a puddle of water like Senator Kelly in X-Men. A year later, in 1982, I was equally as inconsolable after watching a screening of ET in a small Spanish bar while on holiday with my family.
So far, my son has a memory of walking out of a screening of Paddington 2 because he didn't like Hugh Grant's villainous character – but it's a start!
The only film I'll be nervous to watch with him is the one I keep close to my heart, and usually only watch alone: It's A Wonderful Life. What if I share it with him and he doesn't like it? Or the bell rings on George Bailey's Christmas tree and when I turn to look at him – sporting a blotchy, tear-sodden face – I realise that he's quietly left the room without me noticing. I don't know if I could take that kind of rejection.
But there's still plenty for him to watch and enjoy. There's The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, The Goonies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future… oh shit, I'm really over my word count now. Fin.

Shel Silverstein — "listen to the mustn'ts, child".
Illuminations, Arthur Rimbaud translated by John Ashbery — unlike some translations, these are excellent poems in English, and seem to do all the things people who can read French talk about Rimbaud's poems doing. "No sooner had the notion of the Flood regained its composure".
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou. The classic.
Victims of the Latest Dance Craze, Cornelius Eady — 1985 Lamont Poetry Selection of the Academy of American Poets. "I have a theory about motion. / I have a theory about the air. / I have a theory about main arteries and bass lines. / I have a theory about Friday night, / Just a theory, mind you".
Other local poets: Peter Pereira, Joannie Stangeland, Heather McHugh, Richard Hugo, Linda Bierds, Jennifer Boyden, Robert Sund (some of his individual collections would qualify for Set in the NW too), Elizabeth Austen. Also J. W. Marshall and Christine Deavel, mentioned above.
The New Testament, Jericho Brown. He's amazing to hear in person. "I will begin with the body, / In the year of our Lord, / Porous and wet, love-wracked / And willing".
Allen Ginsberg, Shel Silverstein (if you can believe it), Gwendolyn Brooks, and good old Uncle Walt.
Keats, Shelley, and Rimbaud, famously.
Set in NW Honey in the Horn, H. L. Davis (early Oregon epic, filled with old coots and adventures and mountains — a very Northwesty novel) and The Egg & I, Betty MacDonald, a hilarious memoir of living on a rural poultry farm in Washington the 1930s (and hating it) by the author of the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle kids' books. Also qualifies for Turned Into a Movie.

"Goal was for the fans"
The away fans sang his name long after the final whistle; Danny Williams' thunderbolt strike had settled a scrappy affair at The Valley and earned the Royals all three vital points away from home.
And the US international midfielder couldn't hide his jubilation after finding the top corner to earn his side maximum points this afternoon, celebrating by jumping the advertising boards and jumping into the visiting supporters.
"It was just emotional. I'm a very emotional guy when it comes to football," he told Reading FC Player after the 1-0 win.
"That's why I'm always saying how important it is that the crowd is behind us - I am a player who really recognises the impact it can have...I feel it on the pitch.
"And today I wanted to share my emotions with the fans, because I thought they did a great job today. I just wanted to give them something back."
The celebration earned Williams a yellow card, something manager Nigel Adkins joked he might have to fine him for after the win. "I don't mind!" Williams smiled.
"If it means I can score a goal, if will jump into the crowd and the manager can fine me, I'm happy with that. Saying that...I will talk to him tomorrow!" the midfielder laughed.
Nothing could wipe the grin from Williams' face after what was a fantastic result. "It was a great win, important I think.
"A lot of gratitude has to go to the team, we put in a great shift today and we are five points clear now. I'm really happy.
"It was a great feeling to score the goal, especially as it was only 1-0 and for me I have suffered with an injury for the last three or four weeks so I was pleased I could help the team again - but it didn't matter who scored, it was more important that the team won."
Now the Royals have to repeat the feat at in-form Bournemouth on Tuesday night to keep the chase for a play-off place on track. "They are under pressure like us. Everybody wants to win this game.
"Away from home, especially in the last five or six games, we are one of the top teams and we have a lot of confidence - I think you can see that on the pitch. We know we are strong enough and we're looking forward to it."

Home Adventist news fro the south pacific Vanuatu MP opens Adventist music festival in Efate
Vanuatu MP opens Adventist music festival in Efate
Elakmermer church choir.
A Vanuatu MP postponed important appointments to attend and officially open the 7th Adventist Music Festival of Efate, running from June 7 to 11. This annual gospel singing event was initiated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 2012 to celebrate the Adventist movement in Vanuatu.
The Honourable Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Andrew Solomon Napuat, said that the program was special because it promoted original songs from singing groups. "I believe in the process of composing songs, artists dig deeper into the Bible and as they do it, it changes them and will change the people who listen to them sing," he commented.
The Honourable Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Andrew Solomon Napuat (front row, second from left), and other special guests.
More than 40 groups were scheduled to sing their original compositions at the music festival. The theme of this year's festival is "Gospel in Every Act", meaning that the gospel of Jesus can be shared by everyone, anywhere and anytime when one uses the talents God has blessed them with.
Mr Napuat said that he planned to attend the remaining evenings of the festival with his family and would encourage his fellow MPs to attend.
Renisha Timothy performs a solo item.
For those unable to attend the event in person, the festival was live-streamed on the "Adventist Music Festival – Sounds Of Hope" Facebook page.

The U.S.'s Financial Reform bill is over 2,000 pages. It includes exemptions and lots of opportunities to create loopholes. Behavior that caused our ongoing global financial crisis is guaranteed to continue, if we don't have swift and effective deterrents.
Saucier asserts that if you are making money on Wall Street--or at a hedge fund--there is no law, except the unwritten law: Don't get caught.
"In the arts, if you are labeled as obscene, your access to prime time major network is cut... It could be a huge deterrent, because then the obscenity risk...would have to be discounted in the share price. Goldman Sachs's was up to $200 and is down to $130 because of the [unstated] obscenity risk."

Break From Batman: best April 2013 comics list
Andrew Asberry
It's time for another Break from Batman where I list some of the best comics that I read over the last month. I usually try to squeeze a graphic novel review in as well, but I won't have time to do that this go round. Next month I'll be sure to include Punk Rock Jesus and maybe a few others to make up for lost time. I really want to make sure folks know about Punk Rock Jesus and Superman Beyond.
As always, this special is about getting Batman fans excited about books that don't actually feature Batman. If you visit this site regularly and find yourself agreeing with me fairly often then this should be an enormous help to you in your quest to find quality entertainment that's worth your hard-earned dollar (or, let's be honest, $4 dollars). But I would also like you to help me and readers like you by going to the comments section at the bottom of the page and listing some of your own favorites from the month of April! Together we can spread the word about great literature and build a friendly community. Be sure to make a Disqus account or connect your post to your Facebook or Twitter so you can have a neat little avatar.
Here's a list of the best comics that I read this month.
Amala's Blade #1
New Reader Friendliness: High
Genre: Sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk
Do you like steampunk? If you do then you might want to give this new series a try. Now, I know that there was an issue #0 that came out earlier, but you don't need to read that to jump aboard this title. I didn't read #0 and I did just fine. It's got a very unique art style that sets it apart from other books and there's definitely a unique world to learn about. You have your futuristic cyber people vs. the steampunk folk and caught in the middle is Amala, an assassin who sees ghosts. Seems like it could make for a pretty fun fantasy series.
Jupiter's Legacy #1
You know all the heirs and heiresses who are constant screw-ups that you see plastered on the tabloids? The Paris Hiltons of the world? Imagine if that breed of people were superheroes and you can see what Jupiter's Legacy is striving toward. The original superheroes changed the world back in the 1940s and are still seen as symbols of everything good in this world. Their children who were bestowed with the same powers, however grew up spoiled and always in the limelight. After issue #1 I'm not quite sure where the story is going to go from there, it's basically a world-building issue that tries to sell you on why these characters behave the way they do. But with names like Mark Millar and Frank Quitely behind it, I'm willing to stick it out a few more issues and see where they take the concept.
Saga #12
New Reader Friendliness: Medium
Genre: Science Fantasy
This, Daredevil, and Thor: God of Thunder are always competing for my favorite series. In this month's Saga, we get an adorable baby seal critter wearing overalls and a story about Prince Robot IV trying to extract information on the location of our protagonists. It's a tense issue with great artwork and it came out to quite a bit of controversy because iTunes was rumored to refuse to sell it (graphic imagery on the opening pages). It's definitely not for kids, but every grown up should be reading this high-concept series.
All-New X-Men #10
New Reader Friendliness: Low
Issue #10 of this book and issue #4 of Uncanny X-Men are both written by Bendis and both feature some of the exact same scenes word for word. It's an important moment for each series where Cyclops and his X-Men show up at the Jean Grey School and ask for new recruits. The characters all play off each other really well and it makes for good drama. The fact that the comic is mostly one really big discussion on who's right and who's wrong in the age old Brotherhood of Mutants/X-men debate might turn some people off or even be considered old hat by longtime X-men fans, but for me it was riveting.
Sledgehammer '44 #2 (of 2)
Genre: WWII, Sci-fi
This was a nice little 2-part mini-series. You don't see too many of those so it was really refreshing to get a complete story with great artwork in two short months and feel satisfied. Whereas last month's issue was more action heavy with the Sledgehammer robot blasting through Nazis, this time around we're focusing more on the soldiers struggling to bring the damaged bot's body back to HQ before more Nazis get their hands on it. Not only is it intense, but it's quite emotional near the end.
Thor: God of Thunder #7
I'll say it's a medium on the New Reader Friendliness chart because there is a nice recap page, but really you should start reading this story from issue #1 if you really want to enjoy yourself. Thor: God of Thunder is a series I'll swear by. It's one of the most well-written and beautifully illustrated books I read and when I say it's "epic" I mean it really is epic. Some folks eat a particularly delicious pop tart and say "That was epic." but I use that word literally when I talk about Thor. It's about a God Butcher who can only be stopped by the God of Thunder operating in 3 different time periods, outer space, and Valhalla itself. If that's not epic then I don't know what is.
Godzilla: Half Century War #5 (of 5)
Genre: Giant Monsters Hitting Each Other
And so we say goodbye to one of the best looking series out there, Godzilla: Half Century War. What an amazing book this was! I would've never thought a comic about Godzilla would be worth a damn, but these 5 issues shut my mouth. I highly recommend you pick this up as a TPB whenever it's released. It looks amazing, has a surprisingly thrilling story, and, at least for me, it was vastly different from any other comic I was reading.
Vibe #3
ARGUS has been a big part of Suicide Squad and JLA, but only in Vibe does it actually feel organized. In the other books it's mostly Waller behind a desk fielding phone calls, but in Vibe you get a real sense of how big ARGUS is and what they're capable of. In a way, Vibe is as much about ARGUS as it is about Vibe himself and I think that makes it a pretty important series in the DCU, especially with Trinity War coming up. In issue #3 we see Waller throw Vibe in a situation where he has to fight Kid Flash. It's all a test, you see. The point of the JLA is to create a group that can bring down the Justice League and with Vibe being trained to defeat Flash, what better way is there to test his abilities than sending him after Flash Jr.
Black Beetle #3
Genre: Superhero/Crime noir
Basically it's 1940's era Batman going incognito as Matches Malone only we can't call him Batman or Matches Malone and this isn't Gotham. Black Mirror's Francesco Frankavilla writes and illustrates this series and it's one of the very best you can buy both in story and art quality. There have been four issues so far (a #0 started it all) and each one has been a must-read. You don't need issue #0, but I highly recommend you start reading with issue #1 before jumping in.
Five Weapons #3
Genre: Teen Adventure/Fantasy
Three issues in and I keep expecting this series to take a nosedive, but it keeps surprising me. It's Harry Potter, but with assassins instead of Wizards and our protagonist is out to beat all the school's weapon masters without ever wielding a weapon of his own. Each issue has been quite fun and it keeps me guessing just how in the heck this kid is going to beat these different clubs (knife, gun, arrow, etc. etc.) barehanded. It's not that he's really tough and beating them with kung fu or anything, it's that he's always got a clever way to outsmart everyone in the assassin academy, including the professors. Good read and appropriate for all ages.
Best "Oh snap!" moment of the month happens here. Daredevil gets a brand new villain and boy is he formidable. The concept behind him made me slap my forehead it was so obvious and it's surprising it took this long for anyone to try it.
Imagine an evil Daredevil with all the kung fu and radar sense…but he can see!
The me of 2 years ago would faint if he heard me say this, but Daredevil is one of the very best comic books you can read and it's quite often more entertaining than any of the bat-titles.
Daredevil EoD #7
Genre: Superhero, Out of continuity mini-series
New Reader Friendliness: Wicked Low
Can't say anything about it because we're too far in and I would spoil everything. It's been phenomenal so far and it has only one issue left. It the creative team can stick the landing and give us a satisfying ending to this mystery then it will be a masterpiece.
I had not read an issue of Wonder Woman since #10 or so. Not that there was a dive in quality, I really love this series. It's just that I decided to trade-wait this series and enjoy Diana's sweeping journey in one sitting. But when I saw the gatefold cover for issue #19 I couldn't help myself. I figured I would be lost since I have no idea how Orion fits into the story or what exactly Wonder Woman and her crew (Azzarello really has turned her series into an ensemble piece) have been up to over the past year, but surprisingly I was able to pick it up pretty easily. However, that doesn't mean anybody can jump right into this book. It just means that those who have read at least Volume 1 of Wonder Woman can do so without much confusion. If you haven't been keeping tabs on New 52 Wonder Woman, you're going to be clueless to what's happening on each page. That said, it looks like Wonder Woman has maintained the same level of quality in story and art since issue #1 and this episode in particular had some very funny and memorable moments. One page in which Wonder Woman teaches Orion a lesson in respect was so good that I took a picture of it and texted it to a friend. And the friend? She's not a comic reader, but even she had already seen the image on tumblr. The internet sure does move fast…
Helheim #2
Frankenstein's Monster meets The Walking Dead meets Vikings. Cullen Bunn and Joelle Jones' new comic has hooked me and we're only on issue #2.
Green Arrow #19
Lemire and Sorrentino continue to revitalize the New 52 Green Arrow and it continues to be a great and really dense read. The story is so dark and heavy that I almost feel exhausted after reading an issue. These new villains have real depth, there's a complex mystery unfolding, and I like the art style. There are some really creative panel layouts and coloring choices being made that give the book it's own unique look. However, after playing Injustice: Gods Among Us recently I can't help but pine for an Ollie who looks like he's older than 15, wears that classic goatee, and makes jokes every once in a while. Green Arrow was one of the most entertaining characters in that entire game and while this comic book is really well made, I kind of which it wasn't so serious. Oh well, I suppose if I want to see a blonde archer who has fun I can always read Hawkeye instead.
Genre: Sci-fi/Superhero
With all the talk of Guardians of the Galaxy being the next Marvel property to go Hollywood, of course I checked out issue #1 and I'm happy I did. Unlike their other space-oriented series, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy caught my interest almost immediately. Nova just felt like a Green Lantern knock-off, but this was fun. A lot of fun. I honestly had never heard of any of these characters before the movie was announced, but they all seem to have quite a bit of life to them and they interest me. It's clear why Rocket Racoon and Groot are fan favorites. The inclusion of Iron Man is an odd choice though. It feels like Marvel wasn't 100% confident in releasing a Guardians of the Galaxy series so the shoehorned a more popular character into the mix to attract a few more readers. So far Iron Man hasn't been a distraction, thankfully and he might even make a good fit for the team. Still not sure what the point of the team was originally other than to fly around and get in adventures, but oh well. The current plot about Star Lord's father, a diplomat of sorts over the galaxy, passing legislation that makes Earth completely vulnerable and the Guardians outlaws if they try to defend it is a fascinating one and it's quickly becoming one of my most looked forward to Marvel books.

 At new seaside park, landscaping becomes the playground | Los Angeles Flow Project L.A.
The undulating hills in a new seaside park in Koper, Slovenia, aren't just pretty landscaping—they're the infrastructure for the park itself.
Slovenian architecture studio Enota designed the 278,000-square-foot park as a sprawling recreation space for the old port city. Instead of programming the park with playgrounds and buildings, Enota embraced the land's topography and constructed a series of undulating concrete structures that divide the park into different pockets.
From above, the concrete forms almost look like Brutalist crop circles. They cut into the land creating amphitheater seating; they slope upwards, allowing space for raised planters that shield people from the noise and bustle of the city. Plants flank the concrete, creating a vivid contrast between nature and fabricated features.
Paved pathways snake around the green space leading to a seaside bar and concert venue, but for the most part, the park's man-made elements are remarkably, blissfully unprescribed and open to imagination.


GLENDALE, ARIZONA – Arizona Coyotes President of Hockey Operations & General Manager John Chayka announced today that the Coyotes have acquired forward Adam Helewka from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Kyle Wood.
The 22-year-old Helewka registered 9-29-38 and 29 penalty minutes (PIM) in 63 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) last season. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound native of Burnaby, BC has recorded 23-45-68 and 57 PIM in 124 career games with the Barracuda.
Helewka was originally drafted by the Sharks in the fourth round (106th overall) in the 2015 Entry Draft.
Wood collected 17-45-62 and 34 PIM in 119 career games with the Tucson Roadrunners and Springfield Falcons (AHL).

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to roll back the 2016 New Source Performance Standards for the oil and gas industry, which reduce the emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas that has 80 times the global warming damage of carbon dioxide. With the current standards in place, the United States will see reductions in harmful air pollutants - cutting 21,635 tons of methane, around 6,000 tons of smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and 450,000 pounds of toxic air pollutants each year. This latest environmental attack comes on the heels of the Trump administration's announcement to weaken rules for power plants, which would increase carbon and hazardous pollutant emissions and cause more than 1,400 additional deaths per year.
"The Trump administration's toxic trifecta is complete, and it will be the environment and our public health that pay the price for this hazardous hat trick," said Senator Markey, chair of the Senate Climate Task Force and member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. "Alongside the weakening of rules to reduce carbon emissions and mercury, the roll-back of the methane standards will result in more toxic chemicals and pollution in our air and water, making our families and children sicker. It will also force consumers to pay more for the costs of leaking oil and gas equipment. This is nothing more than a fossil fuel freebie, giving the oil and gas sector yet another handout to pollute our bodies and the planet."
Recent reports indicate that the Department of Interior will later this month repeal the Bureau of Land Management's Methane Waste and Prevention Rule. Like the Fuel Loss Abatement and Royalty Enhancement (FLARE) Act introduced by Senator Markey, this rule was created to minimize the venting and flaring of methane in oil and gas production operations. Before this rule was put in place in 2016, oil and gas companies wasted enough natural gas from 2009-2015 to supply more than 6.2 million homes for an entire year. Since development of this rule began in 2013, almost $2 billion worth of American taxpayer-owned natural gas on public lands has been wasted largely due to avoidable leaks, flaring, and intentional releases of methane.

I was thinking about what I could write for a Canada Day blog while having my shower this morning. I decided after much pondering that I would write about the most patriotic person I know. I am not sure that this person even realizes how patriotic he is but I have known him his entire life and have seen the patriotism evolve.
He was born in 1971 in Ottawa our Countries Capital City to a member of the Canadian Military and his wife so he was off to a good start to being a true patriot. My first experience of his patriotism was when I was in kindergarten and he was still a little rascal trying to chew his way out of his crib (not kidding he actually chewed his way through his crib like the "Canadian beaver"). Every night before he went to sleep he would ask me to sing to him Oh Canada. is His exact words and I still remember them to this day was "Oh Cadada Cher, Oh Cadada. I would belt out my rendition of Oh Canada as I remembered it from my sessions at kindergarten and he loved every single off key second of it. It was his favourite song until some unpatriotic sole introduced "The wheels on the bus" to him at about age 3- thanks mom.
Thank you to our Canadian constitution for allowing free speech because he is able to express his ever so harsh opinions at times to people who would much rather not hear them and not end up in a Canadian jail.
His favourite sport is hockey (it is not Canada's national sport but should be) which he played until a heart condition forced him to stop playing competively for safety reasons. His favourite player and idol is Wayne Gretzky of whom he had the pleasure of finally meeting last month at the David Foster (another famous Canadian) Foundations 25th Anniversary Celebration.
Anyone who knows him knows without a doubt that his favourite team is the Montreal Canadiens. It could be from the HABS ball cap he wears, to the memorabilia that adorns his office or could be because of the HABS logo he shoveled into the snow on his neighbour's ( not a HABS fan) front lawn this past winter.
He played basketball in junior high winning a provincial championship in a game that was created by a Canadian James Naismith and loves to rub it in to friend and fellow Canadian Steve Nash that he may play in the NBA but he does not have a BC Championship ring like he does.
Once in his 20's he was randomly attacked coming out of one of the local night clubs in downtown Victoria and was able to save himself a severe beating by two young men as a result of the moves he learned from all those years watching the Hart family (Canadian Icons) and WWE Wrestling.
He and his girlfriend have two beautiful daughters one named Mackenzie ( hmmm we had a Prime Minister named Sir Alexander Mackenzie 1764-1820) and one named Dawson who I am sure was named after Dawson City up in the Yukon and not because her mom had a wicked crush on Dawson from the show " Dawson's Creek as it is rumoured.
He not only drinks Molson Canadian beer (it has been responsible for the beer belly he has gained and lost numerous times of the years) but he works for them as a sales rep. How much more Canadian can you get.
Every Canada Day long weekend he celebrates by getting together with old friends up at the lake where they have a lobster boil after a game of golf. On the way up to the lake he is sure to stop at Tim Horton's for a steeped tea because he chooses Tim Horton's over Starbucks
This weekend everyone will wait in anticipation of the Canada Day outfit and antics he has planned.
This Canada I celebrate being Canadian and my brother, Brent Dobbie, the most patriotic person I know.
