Volunteers of America's Fresh Food Factor ensures that local schoolchildren start their school day with a healthy breakfast and lunch. Cruz is just one of the thousands of school children who enjoy nutritious meals each day to nourish their mind, body and souls.
Dominque is a mentor with Volunteers of America's Mentoring Children of Promise Program. The program offers mentoring services to at-risk youth and youth with a parent incarcerated. Dominque is a key figure in the lives of her mentees, Region and Reign, to help ensure they can overcome life's struggles.
Eugene came to Volunteers of America more than 30 years ago after his mother could no longer provide him with the proper care. Thanks to our Supported Living Services Program, Eugene is able to live a full, independent life.
Robert and Joseph, brothers with intellectual disabilities, have been living together with Volunteers of America for more than 25 years. Volunteers of America's Community Living Services stepped in when their mother could no longer care for them. Our Community Living Services Program offers persons with intellectual disabilities a chance to live independent, happy lives.
Charles was like many older adults living on a fixed income. He needed help to make repairs to his home of more than 30 years, and Volunteers of America stepped to ensure that Charles could keep living a happy, safe life in his home.
Clay is one of our many residents living in our Supported Living Services Program, which provides in-home support that allows people with disabilities to remain in their own home and build an independent life. Clay loves to paint, read and to be living in his own home. He works and his direct service provider helps him complete any daily tasks around his home.
Jim and Cathy fell in love quickly and knew that adoption would be an option to start their family. The couple said their open adoption has been a blessing that allowed them to provide a two-parent family for their daughter, Anna. Anna's birth mother is still a part of their lives, and Cathy said they can't imagine their lives without Anna.
The duties of Direct Support Professionals are challenging in stable times—with the skills and dedication needed to care for those with disabilities. But what the Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans staff displayed during the arduous, heart-wrenching times of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was commitment to their consumers that transcended the call of work and entered the domain of family. In addition to the demanding tasks of securing housing and safety for their own families they worked hard to provide services, comfort, and hope to the most vulnerable in our community.
Volunteers of America is a leader in helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities lead independent, meaningful lives. See how one family was able to keep their son living at home with the help of our Supported Living Services program.
Health issues and a lack of home handicap access caused stress and isolation for Mr. Sowell. But thanks to a ramp built by Volunteers of America's Repairs on Wheels program, Mr. and Mrs. Sowell now enjoy greater mobility around their home and a better, safer standard of living.


"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change".
This is a quote that I have stuck up in my training room and office to remind me to embrace the concept of a growth mindset. Too many of us look for the worst in things instead of seeing potential positives. I will give you an example to solidify the concept. Say you are prescribed a swim set with 40 x 50s. Mentally this is a challenging set and can create some angst of how hard it will be to do the set. What many of us do when we have completed 10 of the 40 is to think 'oh no I still have 30 to go' instead of thinking 'oh great I have done 10 already and I am a quarter of the way there'. This concept can apply across all of you training and in life in general.
This article is going to address how to develop a growth mindset that will assist you in unlocking your mental barriers and hopefully helping you to improve your mental and physical performances. Before we dive in let's take a look at the difference between a fixed and growth mindset.
A fixed mindset assumes that our character, intelligence, creativeness and the like are all static and that we simply cannot change them in ourselves.
A growth mindset on the other hand thrives on challenges and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a springboard for growth and furthering our existing abilities.
We manifest one of these mindsets from a very early age, largely due to the environment in which we are brought up in, the influence of our parents, teachers and friends. These mindsets have a significant impact on a great deal of our learned behaviours about ourselves and can impact on our relationship with success and failure in both a professional and personal capacity, which as we all know can ultimately impact on our capacity for happiness!!
One of the leading researchers in this field, Carol Dweck, has poignantly stated 'the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life'. This is interesting and worth rereading. This concept suggests that if we view ourselves different then we can make positive changes in our lives. A good example of this is thinking and believing we are athletes and conducting ourselves in that manner with confidence and poise.
Dweck believes that we all lie on a continuum of fixed and growth mindsets depending on what it relates to. In terms of endurance sports, we might have a fixed mindset when it comes to doing an ironman believing it is too hard, that we are too old, slow and the list goes on. Whereas we might have a growth mindset in terms of nutrition as we want to learn more about it so we can shift weight to feel and look better. I find I have differing mindset at work, in training and in my general life and a lot of these differing mindsets can come down to positivity, past results, self actualisation, self belief and worth.
Do what you love AND love what you do – you will be more likely to succeed when you are passionate about it. Embrace the process and smile and enjoy it!
Inspire others and be inspired by others – do not envy others rather be inspired by what they have achieved, success breeds success.
As hard as it is, we can and need to all work on ourselves, both physically and mentally. We all have perceived limits what we have created for ourselves, however if you have belief in yourself and your ability to grow, to develop and to thrive beyond these perceived limits then anything is possible! You must work on identifying areas you are fixed in and try and work out why this is the case. Once you know the 'why' you can start to change the mindset and develop an unbeatable mind!
Keep training hard and recover well.

Q: Creating a prepare-bind insert statement with a TIMESTAMP datatype I am trying to insert some rows using a prepare-bind statement. One of the columns is of type TIMESTAMP. How do I bind the variable for this column with the current epoch time?
I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE orders {
  user_id TEXT,
  order_time TIMESTAMP,
  order_id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  order_details TEXT,
  PRIMARY KEY (user_id, order_time DESC, order_id),
  FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES %s (user_id)
);

I have the following prepare statement code:
String stmt = "INSERT INTO orders " +
              "(user_id, order_time, order_details) " +
              "VALUES (?, ?, ?);"
PreparedStatement p = connection.prepareStatement(stmt);

Now I am trying to bind the current epoch time System.currentTimeMillis() to variable 2 in this statement. How should I do that?

A: The corresponding Java type to your SQL's TIMESTAMP is most likely java.sql.Timestamp.  You can generate a current timestamp using:
Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());

So, your prepared statement code might look like:
String stmt = "INSERT INTO orders " +
              "(user_id, order_time, order_details) " +
              "VALUES (?, ?, ?);"
PreparedStatement p = connection.prepareStatement(stmt);
p.setString(1, "Karthik");
p.setTimestamp(2, new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()));
p.setString(3, "here is some order text");

« Get Your Ass to Metro [TechCrunch] | Main | Everything You'll Ever Need To Know About Gamification [TechCrunch] »
Games Don't Need Saving
It's a rite-of-passage thing. Also an age thing. You're probably around 25, have jumped, slaughtered and strategised your way through at least 1000 games, and found them amazing and entertaining. Then something happens.
You start to get bothered by the sameness. You start to notice that games recycle the same ideas on a generational timeline, that every 5-7 years or so game developers repackage the same concepts for new platforms. And also keep making the same mistakes.
Over time, you start to think that games need to be saved.
You start to remember beyond one generation, and maybe even speak of ages past in a way reminiscent of Tolkien's elves recalling the First Age. You find it really difficult to get excited by, say, the 4th Halo or the latest FIFA because you've seen it all before. You might intellectually appreciate them, but your heart's not really in it.
Your attention span shortens. You struggle to remember the last time you had a gaming all-nighter and you look on Skyrim not as a challenge, but rather as a task. A drudge, even. You wonder just how long games can get away with that sort of thing. You also start to be much less tolerant of the first hour of a game: if it doesn't absorb you then you dump it.
You also start to be bothered by tone. Issues of who you're playing, motivations and representations start to seep in, and you find yourself questioning in a way that you never did. So, you start to feel less delight in mainstream games, and instead appreciate cleverness. You begin to think that games like Pippin Barr's Let There Be Smite or Bennet Foddy's QWOP are part of a complex and evolving conversation of the language of games. This leads you to over-ascribing meaning to certain kinds of games in the hope that they will "take gaming forward" or "lose the old stereotypes".
And when they don't have that effect outside of a particular echo chamber of equally bothered gaming enthusiasts, you become exasperated. Eventually you come to the conclusion that games are going wrong somewhere. That they can't go on like this. That they'll never be taken seriously without radical action.
But of course they can and will.
The video game is, and probably always will be, a medium better suited to the younger mind. Remembering that the fun aspect is most important, and that fun and learning are sort of the same thing, this is not surprising. A young mind simply loves the new skill, the new trick, the new feat of logic that enables solving the problem or creating the cool thing. An older mind realises that many of the skills that it sees are just old skills repackaged, so of course there's an excitement gap.
All youth-targeted media (such as pop music or comics) are similar, and each has its older fans for whom said medium seems doomed. The truth is that many of the publishing companies that operate the medium understand their customer better than the older fan thinks, and if push comes to shove are perfectly happy to let their old customers drift away. They will do so eventually, goes the reasoning, so why focus on their concerns? While the aged gamers may get riled up from time to time (for example: over standards in game journalism), these kinds of publisher know that that is only so much noise. The kids won't really care.
All that's happened is that you've grown older and wiser, and perhaps peeked behind the curtain too much (if you work in games, this whole cycle seems to hit much harder). The video game, like comics and pop music, is largely a medium for the younger mind. Particularly when it comes to platforms and their marketing stories striving for the future and the bleeding edge.
It's easier to impress the young because they have no experiences to refer to, but also because the young mind's understanding of depth tends to be quite different to the older mind. To the youngster a band may sound very relevant to the struggles that they are going through, yet to an adult they sound pompous and ridiculous. Younger people lack a depth of insight and wisdom, which in some circumstances makes them easy prey but in others makes them more genuinely enthusiastic than their cynical forerunners.
Old School Graymers
The reason that we all hit that "gaming needs saving" wall is really to do with the age of the gamer and the feeling of being either left out or cast aside. The 30-something gamer still enjoys his games, but they do often seem rather tinny. The amateur-hour writing grates more than it used to, as do the blatantly stolen pop culture references. The pace also seems a little less comfortable, and perhaps the wandering mind becomes that bit more keen on strategy games as part of a search for sophistication. Or perhaps something creative like FarmVille if you're a mid-40s housewife.
Here's the thing: I don't think gaming needs saving, but rather that the older gamer market (which is still emerging) is simply underserved. I also think that the phenomenon of Kickstartered games is largely being driven by so-called "graymers" who either want to set the world to rights ("Adventure games aren't dead!" etc) or are simply missing an old love and want to relight that flame.
There are plenty of 30-50 somethings who had consoles back in the day, are fluent in gaming and games, but for whom the tone of modern games is skin deep. Games always were, but the graymers are older and wiser and would like more. Just as the same type of person saw Star Wars when it actually came out, but does not expect all movies to be Star Wars today.
I hesitate to use the words "adult" or "mature" because both sound a little bit like porn, and "senior" sounds like games for 70 year olds to stave off Alzheimers. Instead I think I mean "middle age games". Games for the veteran players who've seen much and would like to experience more, but for whom maybe the idea of a game based on Apocalypse Now would be awesome as-is rather than dressing it up as something else in Spec Ops.
And the interesthing thing is: This graymer market has much more disposable income than the usual console kid. In other media, the middle=aged version is often called something different to the juvenile version, like "graphic novel" instead of "comic", "cinema" instead of "movie", "computer game" instead of "video game" or "literature" over "novel". It reflects a distance, a difference of maturity and awareness. This kind of distinctive addression of more developed tastes is what the graymer is looking for.
Can we serve them better?
(By the way: There is a phase after the "saving" phase. Give it time.)

Q: Pandas to_datetime loses timezone My raw data has a column with timestamps in ISO8601 format like this:

'2017-07-25T06:00:02+02:00'

Since the data is in CSV format, it will be read as object/string. Therefore I'm converting it to datetime like this.
import pandas pd
df['time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], utc=False)

#df['time'][0]
df['time'][0].isoformat()

Unfortunately this results in UTC timestamps and the timezone is lost. For instance df['time'][0].tzinfo is not set.

Timestamp('2017-07-25 04:00:02')
'2017-07-25T04:00:02'

I'm looking for a way to keep the timezone info in each of the timezone objects. But without re-setting it to CEST (Central European Summer Time) afterwards since this information is already included in the ISO8601 timezone offset in the raw-data. Any idea how to do this?

A: So here's how I solved it.
There's a great article about Timezones and Python, which helped me to come to a solution. It relies on the ISO8601 Python packages.
import iso8601

times = ['2017-07-25 06:00:02+02:00',
         '2017-07-25 08:15:08+02:00',
         '2017-07-25 12:08:00+02:00',
         '2017-07-25 13:10:12+02:00',
         '2017-07-25 15:11:55+02:00',
         '2017-07-25 16:00:00+02:00'
        ]

df = pd.DataFrame(times, columns=['time'])
df['time'] = df['time'].apply(iso8601.parse_date)
df['time'][0]

Which produces the following output and keeps the timezone information.

Timestamp('2017-07-25 06:00:02+0200', tz='+02:00')

By Stewart Baker on August 29, 2011 6:50 am in Uncategorized, War on Terror
I have an op-ed in the NY Post, commenting on the role that bureaucratic turf fights may play in the Associated Press story looking for scandal in NYPD's counterterrorism tactics.
When you're done [with the story], you find that NYPD is uniquely determined to find terrorists before they strike. To do that, NYPD is willing to go far outside its borders — to London, to Jerusalem, even to New Jersey.
It partners with counterterror analysts at the CIA. It looks for leads in places where terrorists have been found before – in immigrant communities and in mosques, for example – and it doesn't give terrorists a haven where they know the cops can't go. It takes advantage of its diversity by asking its officers to hang out in communities where they blend in. It recruits street sources wherever it can find them. It maps the neighborhoods it's most concerned about.
Shocked yet?
Me neither.
So what gives? How come we're getting this story, at this length, at this time?
One possibility is turf….
Prizes for the Algorithmaker?

Conrad Veidt: My Life
Monday, June 1. 2020
German actor Conrad Veidt is best remembered for playing Nazi Major Strasser in "Casablanca". In reality, he was an ardent anti-fascist who left Nazi Germany for Britain, falsely claiming to be Jewish in solidarity with his Jewish wife. Using clips from Veidt's films, acclaimed director Mark Rappaport (Rock Hudson's Home Movies) imagines the actor himself, with his curious German accent, narrating his life and career from the silent era—including his leading roles in "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and "The Man Who Laughs" (which inspired the character of "The Joker")—through to his Hollywood years where he often played a Nazi.Critic Jonathan Rosenbaum selected this fascinating film as one of the ten best of 2019.
TJFF world premiere June 4, co-presented by @GoetheToronto and @HotDocs.

1. The good news was the play of the defensive front seven. Pro Bowl running back Michael Turner ran 22 times for 65 yards, quarterback Matt Ryan was under decent pressure much of the day (sacked twice) and a defense put in bad situations by turnovers played well.
2. Here's why I'm not getting too carried away with the turnovers being some big issue on this year. Anthony Fasano had two fumbles Sunday. He had two fumbles in the three seasons before Sunday. Chad Pennington threw seven interceptions last year. He had one Sunday. The greater sample size of these players says just how uncharacteristic Sunday was.
3. It's good and bad news that Davone Bess caught seven passes for 57 yards. Good, obviously, because it shows what a productive player he is. Bad, because it tells how much he's being looked for and coach Tony Sparano talked of the need for "chunk" yard this year -- big-gain plays.
4. You can question Ted Ginn as a return man considering his returns were to the 14, 18, 16 and 14. The blocking had to be an equal problem. But I'm not jumping on Ginn as a receiver after this game. Twice, he was open deep -- once he had two steps on the defender, another time no defender was within five yards of him. Pat White missed the first one, Chad Pennington missed the second one.
5. We're not going to question the quarterback after one bad game, are we?
6. It was such a bad first weekend that even celebrity owner Serena Williams made a fool of herself in her U.S. Open meltdown.
7. Even the opposing questions aren't coming up the Dolphins' way. Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez looked fine, throwing for 272 yards, a touchdown, an interception and converting five third-downs on Houston of at least 8 yards.
8. Ricky Williams, at 32, remains a running back who punishes defenders.
9. It meant nothing in the end. But even Tony Sparano looked a bit off his game when he went for the extra point after the lone TD in the final minutes. The score was 19-7. If they'd converted a 2-point conversion then two more scores -- a field goal and touchdown with another two-point converstion -- would've tied it. By going for that extra point, they would've needed three more scores.
10. It could've been worse. You could be a Bears fan. A loss to rival Green Bay. New quarterback Jay Cutler threw three interceptions in the first half (it could've been six). And linebacker Brian Urlacher is hurt.

Outsourced Government: Have We Gone Too Far?
Recent security problems involving contractors suggest that we need to rethink what government services should be performed by the private sector.
Philip Joyce | October 9, 2013
The last few months haven't been easy ones for some government contractors. Aaron Alexis, who shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard last month, and Edward Snowden, who earlier this year leaked a trove of top-secret information about the National Security Agency's electronic surveillance programs to the press, both were employees of federal contractors. And both had valid security clearances stemming from background checks conducted by the same private firm -- yet another contractor.
Outsourcing and privatization have a long history at all levels of government, from road-building to human services to security functions, encompassing a vast ecosystem of private-sector firms and nonprofit organizations. Now the cases of Alexis and Snowden have brought renewed scrutiny to the issue of contracting, illustrating once again that the outsourcing of government services is as risky as it is complicated.

Why States Can't Manage Private Contractors
Government's Slow Takeoff into the Cloud
Government's Challenge: Building Its Crucial IT Workforce
Recent decades have seen the expansion of outsourcing at the state and local levels as well as by Washington. Areas once thought to be the sole province of government, such as corrections and tax collection, now see widespread use of contracting to do jobs that once were done by public employees. And with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at stake, it shouldn't be surprising that special-interest politics sometimes drives public policy. As a stark example of a private firm attempting to protect its market share, the largest private-prison provider, Corrections Corp. of America, has pushed for mandatory minimum sentences and has contracts in some states that include guarantees to keep prison beds 100 percent filled.
Contracting can be a valuable tool for governments, offering a number of advantages. Contracting permits governments to hire for specified periods to meet short-term needs without making long-term financial commitments. The private sector may specialize in some areas that would be difficult or expensive for government to replicate, making it more efficient to contract out for those services. And it can be easier to hire contractors than to go through the often time-consuming process of hiring a government employee.
Contract management, however, is much more complicated than managing employees. While managers have tools available to affect the day-to-day performance of public employees, contractors manage their own employees, with limited control exercised by government managers. In the end, performance problems often can be dealt with only by cancelling the contract, a very blunt instrument that is in many cases impossible or impractical to wield. Governments may find themselves with no choice but to keep underperforming and expensive contractors because they have no good alternatives, having shed the in-house expertise that would be necessary to replace the contractual expertise.
And as the Alexis and Snowden cases illustrate, governments are quite vulnerable to adverse actions by contractors. The risks are greater as agencies find it necessary to monitor not only large numbers of their own employees but also a dizzying array of contractors and subcontractors. Further, while this cannot be documented, it is worth asking whether the incentives for private profit by contractors run counter to the public-service motivation that is more often associated with public employees.
There is a long and perfectly legitimate history of contracting out for widely available private services, from custodial work to food services to legal services to printing to trash collection. While there are some who may argue against most contracting in principle, there are positive benefits to be gained by contracting if used appropriately.
There should be limits, however, to contracting. Federal agencies, for example, have not historically been permitted to contract for functions considered "inherently governmental". Spying on U.S. and other citizens (regardless of whether you find it appropriate) and performing national-security functions (including doing background checks) certainly seem "inherently governmental," as does incarcerating prisoners or collecting taxes. The question, then, is not whether we should contract. It is whether we are contracting for functions that should appropriately be carried out by public employees.
Contracting out was a reform that resulted from a concern that government had become a monopoly supplier of some services that could more efficiently be provided by the private sector. But a May 2013 report by the watchdog group In the Public Interest, which studies contracting, suggests that insourcing -- taking previously contracted services back in-house -- has in recent years been as prevalent as outsourcing of services that had been produced by public employees. If this is occurring, it may represent a recognition that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of contracting. If so, insourcing may be a more appropriate reform to pursue at this moment in time.

Book I am reading at the moment frequently mentions Eurasian & Anglo-Indians during the time of the British Raj.
Apparently, Eurasian originally referred to Anglo-Indians whereas I think in the last, say 40-50 years it refers to those of mixed Far-East Asian & European ancestry.
Made me contemplate my own racial status.
Being mixed-race is a blessing.
Although, to be fair, being any race is a blessing. So, no great revelation there.
But, for a while there, if you are of mixed-race, there are moments when you aren't really sure where you are 'meant' to fit in.
As a child, way back when, there were moments when it was a little difficult, being different.
Of course, NOW Big Girl Roo realises that EVERYBODY is different & everybody had 'difficult moments'.
In fact, it is the very thing that makes us the same.
.... 'cos guess what? at the exact same time you think you are being all different & better put The Smiths on, other kids were feeling different too. Their parents may have been splitting up, perhaps they had weight issues (up or down), skin issues, learning difficulties, didn't have a Walkman (I'm dating myself, aren't I?), had Betamax while everyone else had the other thing (Stop it. You are working out how old I am right now, aren't you?!?!), blah blah blah.
The early part of Secondary School had crappy times, the name-calling "hey chinky", "oi, fish-lips" and the, what I think is a unique HK school word (at the time anyway) "hey, choge" was upsetting but it passed. Other kids were teased for stutters or acne so again, it was no different to that.
I don't recall how or why it suddenly stopped but it did & school was a very happy time for me. Socially. Academically, that's a different story &, not one we are telling now.
all of it centred around being part of a family & jeez, I realise now, how cool that was.
The Brit side is there too. I also got to feel part of Royal Weddings (Charles & Diana's, I think was the first I really recall & set a precedent. I love an occasion, me.), Wimbledon, Christmases, BlackBerrying walks on the Downs in Sussex & freezing family swims (not me though. Noooooooo. Roo don't do cold water swimming. Thin tropical blood, see? but I DID watch The Cousins swimming) on shingle beaches, fish & chips & yearly family gatherings at my other grandparents' house.
How the mix manifests itself depends on the races involved &, a kind of genetic lucky dip.
No one knows what feature from which side will step up & make an appearance.
Tribe members will all have experienced comments like: "wow, really? but now you say I CAN see something" to the other end of the spectrum "how could anyone NOT see it?".
Articles like this The Eurasian Nation & books like The Eurasian Face fascinate me. I am really nosy to see how "the genetic legacy is etched" on others. I like to think I can spot 'another one like me' with ease!
The only thing I don't enjoy are the people (utter strangers) who stare & stare, literally scratch their heads, can bear it no longer & ask me outright "Where ARE you from?".
This seems to be unique to this part of the world, with that undeniable tone "WHAT the hell are you? I need to know how I should treat you & I shall make that decision based on your race. Damn you for confusing me".
It happens a lot at work. And infuriatingly, often in shops. I have no interest in discussing my racial background in either of those situations.
People, I was beaten into 2nd place in the Cussons Baby Powder Most Photogenic Baby competition (1970-something) by a Chinese boy baby.
My Mummy & Daddy said so.* So it could only have been a race thing. Right?
It is a short hop from baby powder advertising to segregation on the backseat of a bus.
Globally, I don't think we are a minority anymore. Not now.
There are loads of us Hapa brothers & sisters. Some are my age but also, as our friends' families grow, new tribe members are swelling the ranks.
Hands up if you are a Hapa!!!!

Now, Infiniti gives you the chance to design Sebastian Vettel's helmet and become legend in a way not seen since Ken Block unbent the visor on his baseball cap. Vettel will wear the winning design during practice and qualifying during the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, this November, but not during the actual race, lest Infiniti's sponsors start to wreak havoc over their carefully budgeted "advertising opportunities."
Submit your meticulously rendered design right at Infiniti's website. Or, you can print out a template, bust out your Crayola 64-count box of crayons with the built-in sharpener, and doodle to your heart's content. Infiniti most likely won't take helmets with "VETTEL IS A PR ROBOT" scrawled on the side. And while tempting, they most likely also won't take snubs at other drivers. There goes my idea of Vettel wearing a helmet inscribed "LEWIS HAMILTON IS A TERRIBLE BOWLER."
Put your finger in the air, then put it on paper. The contest ends Sept. 29, and a hand-picked cadre will oversee all entries the next day. If you win, Infiniti will award you and a friend with a VIP weekend at the U.S. Grand Prix, as well as the opportunity to meet with Vettel himself. Please don't ask him for your helmet back.

Dronfield man was found dead on his boat after taking his dog on a trip to Wales
The north Derbyshire owner of a boat moored at a marina in North Wales was found dead after his wife had failed to contact him, it was revealed at the opening of an inquest
Tuesday, 16 October, 2018, 12:52
David John Barker, 54, of Morley Close, Dronfield, visited his boat on October 5, taking his dog with him.
At a hearing in Ruthin, John Gittins, coroner for North Wales East and Central, said that the following day, when his wife failed to contact him, she rang the marina office and a member of staff found Mr Barker's body on his vessel.
Pathologist Dr Andrew Dalton sent samples away for toxicology and histology tests but gave the provisional cause of death as choking on food.
The inquest was adjourned to a date to be fixed. Â

World Cup group-stage reviews after two games: Group B
Posted by Joshua Mayers
Team-by-team breakdown
Argentina (2-0-0, 6 pts.) — Struggled in qualifying but haven't shown it so far in the finals. Messi hasn't scored but is seemingly unstoppable in the attack. Defense looks very shaky, however, after Samuel injury.
South Korea (1-1-0, 3 pts.) — Looked surprisingly good in beating Greece and not as bad against Argentina as the 4-1 scoreline shows. Will need to put together one more result to advance.
Greece (1-1-0, 3 pts.) — Found new life after a sorry opener with a big win over the shorthanded African side. Also scored a W.C. goal for the first time in 400+ minutes.
Nigeria (0-2-0, 0 pts.) — Didn't deserve anything against the group favorite, but were on their way to a result against Greece before a dumb red-card foul was committed by Kaita.
What stands out so far
1. Maradona's guys — Showing the form of a contender with that offense (e.g. Higuain hat-trick).
2. Nigeria disappoints — Many figured they'd compete for second, but they haven't so far. Not even close.
3. Still wide-open — No team is out of it yet and a three-way tie in points for second is very possible.
1. F Lionel Messi, Argentina
2. GK Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria
3. F Gonzalo Higuain, Argentina
Look ahead
Argentina looks unbeatable by this level of competition and should win the group comfortably with one last result against the Greeks. Nigeria could advance with a win over South Korea, but the Super Eagles haven't shown anything to think that will happen. Park Ji-Sung's team, however, could be one of the surprise teams in the field and would just need a draw to move on.

Duke enters another season as reigning NCAA champion
Associated PressOct 27, 2015, 10:02 AM EDT
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Don't call Duke a defending national champion.
For many of these current Blue Devils, there's nothing to defend – because they had nothing to do with the program's most recent title.
Their goal – as it always is at Mike Krzyzewski's perennial powerhouse program – is to hang a banner of their own.
Krzyzewski expects "there will be a little bit more of a learning curve with regard to this group" than last year, when freshmen Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones played with the poise of veterans from the moment the season began.
Expectations are never low at Duke, which six months ago won the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time since 1991.
Since then, half the scholarship players on that team and its only four double-figure scorers – those three one-and-done freshmen plus senior Quinn Cook – have moved on.
The Blue Devils will have a new look but the same mission – to mesh a talented crew of freshmen with a few experienced returnees quickly and effectively enough to remain near the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Last year's freshmen arrived with ready-made relationships after playing together at various levels.
These newcomers – led by swingman Brandon Ingram, big man Chase Jeter and guards Derryck Thornton and Luke Kennard – don't quite have that familiarity yet.
"Our freshmen are talented … and for the guys coming back, they have to adjust to a different level of expectation," Krzyzewski said. "They have to play more good minutes in a game, and then they have to play game after game well. … You've got to do it all the time."
Some things to know about Duke's pursuit of a sixth national championship:
CHANGING STYLES: Krzyzewski expects these Blue Devils to generate most of their scoring from the perimeter – a pretty stark contrast to last year's team, which revolved around the 6-foot-11 Okafor in the paint. Krzyzewski says this team will be more "opportunistic" in the low post, sticking back offensive rebounds. "This team's strength is its perimeter scoring," he said.
SHADES OF GRAYSON: Duke is counting on Grayson Allen to pick up where he left off in April. After barely playing at times, Allen blossomed into the hero of the Final Four, scoring 16 points and coming up with the biggest hustle play of the title-clinching win over Wisconsin. He says there's "definitely a change in mentality" that comes with his added confidence.
IMPACT FRESHMAN: Krzyzewski expects Ingram to be "all over – he's that good of a player," and could see time on the wing and inside. The 6-9 Kinston product is the first Associated Press men's high school player of the year to choose Duke since Shavlik Randolph in 2002, and is one of two players in the history of the state high school association to win four state titles. With a wingspan that's 7-foot-3, Ingram has "that versatility, that flexibility (that) puts him in a position to be in almost any lineup."
THE RETURNERS: The four scholarship players who played last season combined to average 18.7 points and the leading returning scorer is senior forward Amile Jefferson, who averaged 6.1 points.
THE LAST PLUMLEE: The end of an era in Duke basketball is coming – the end of the line for the Plumlee family. Big man Marshall Plumlee is a graduate student entering his final season of eligibility. While older brothers Miles and Mason have played their way into the NBA, Marshall is headed on a different track – he's joining the Army, and spent a month this summer at a leadership course at Fort Knox. Krzyzewski said, "The growth that he has a leader is showing up here."

Our flexible engineering and test staff can adapt quickly to any scenario for testing one off prototype systems, whereas dedicated bed of nails PCB test jigs are designed to ease volume production testing (dependent on required throughput).


Continuing with our series of interviews with the Scottish riders who we hope will be making the headlines on The Gold Coast in Australia come the spring, in this article – our 2,000th on VeloVeritas! – we speak to 20 year-old Paisley rider, Jack Carlin who's rapidly making a name for himself in that shortest but most savage of disciplines, the team sprint.
I believe you came in to cycling to rehabilitate from sports injuries, Jack?
And the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014 were a big inspiration to you?
"Yes, I watched the racing from the stands and thought; 'that's what I really want to do,' I'd trained with the Scottish team as a junior.
"Originally I was into mountain biking then I started to ride the tarmac, unbanked track at Bellahouston.
Do you remember the first time you began to think that you could make the grade?
"I suppose that would be at the Scottish National Track Championships where I took two silver medals in the u16 sprint event.
Was there a particular ride or rides that got you on to the GB squad?
When Craig Maclean was 'doing the business' in the sprint events we spoke to him regularly and he mentioned the constant pressure to produce the required times when you're on the squad.
"I wouldn't say that I feel under pressure to perform; if you're an elite athlete then the pressure to perform comes from within – you want to be the best you can be.
How do you feel about not actually racing very often?
"As sprinters, particularly my role as 'man one' in the team sprint you have to spend a lot of time in the weight room to get the power and strength to weight ratio to be competitive – you have to be strong but you can't be too heavy either because you have to accelerate your mass of the line very, very quickly.
"The training means that you can peak once, maybe twice each season – you'll ride other races but still be training in the gym, you're not realising your full potential – but we have to accrue World Cup points to qualify for The Worlds.
"As well as weights there's a lot of technical work in training, particularly working on our starts, getting out of the gate as fast as possible.
Are the keirin and individual sprint events you'd like to ride more of in the future?
The Commonwealth Games – the individual sprint and keirin will be your events on the Gold Coast but can Scotland field a team sprint squad? You, Callum Skinner and Jonny Wale perhaps?
"The keirin and individual sprint for sure; as for the team sprint, Scottish Cycling might or might not field a team.
Is the kilometre something you'd like to develop?
The Worlds are in Apeldoorn at the end of February/beginning of March then The Games are at the start of April; two peaks, close together – tricky?
What's 2008 about for you?
"The Worlds team sprint and riding the Commonwealth Games for Scotland – selection in January permitting – the individual sprint, keirin and perhaps the team sprint.
"It'll be a great honour to represent my country, I've never represented Scotland at senior level, I have as a junior in Revolution meetings but this will be my first time as a senior.
With thanks to Jack for his time – and as with all the Scottish squad, VeloVeritas wishes him well for Apeldoorn and The Gold Coast.
It was Vik (who else?) first spotted the man; 'there's a New Zealand rider winning a lot of races for Kingsnorth Wheelers in Flanders just now, you should get hold of him!' he told me, last summer. We duly tracked down Jack Bauer and have been keeping an eye on him and talking to him, ever since.


It is Wednesday and I am reverting to my plan to keep my blog posts short on this day to give me more time for other things. Today, I will briefly outline what happened last Thursday when I met with Shadow British Chancellor John McDonnell in London. As I noted yesterday, I was not going to comment publicly on this meeting. I have a lot of meetings and interactions with people in 'high' office which remain private due to the topics discussed etc. But given that John McDonnell told an audience in London later that evening that he had met with me and that I thought the proposed fiscal rule that Labour has adopted was "fine", I thought it only reasonable that I disclose what happened at that meeting. I did not think the rule was fine and I urged them to scrap it and stop using neoliberal constructs.

If you're like a lot of teenagers we know, you want to passionately follow Jesus, lead a faith-filled life, and trust God more. In other words, you want to live and reveal God's kingdom in the ordinary, everyday moments of life.
Tim Levert, who's been a youth pastor for a long time, has written 24/7 as an "instruction guide" on living as a committed follower of Jesus. It's organized around an average day in your life, and each chapter offers solid thoughts on living God''s kingdom and revealing God's kingdom.
24/7 will give you specific, practical suggestions, and then challenge you to think about what else you can do-- next steps in living out your faith.
TIM LEVERT has been in youth ministry since 1992, though he looks much younger. He's been involved in large churches, small churches, denominational churches, non-denominational churches, and most everything in between. He earned a PhD in adolescent spiritual formation, but please don't call him "doctor" -- he prefers to be called "Grandmaster T." Tim somehow convinced Tasha to marry him, and together they have three beautiful daughters and a dog named Gumbo. Tim is currently the Pastor with Students at the Vineyard Church of New Orleans, where he has a shrimp Po'Boy and beignets at least once a week. If you're ever in New Orleans, he would love to help you pass a good time.


It's amazing how music can make you feel so many different emotions. It's also amazing how music is always growing and changing, and this is the feeling I got from James Blake "Barefoot in the Park" featuring Rosalía. Life, family, love, friendship. You have so many of these thing passing you by in this video. I am also happy that we got to see something different from Rosalía, having her on the track added a unique approach. Overall I am a big fan of this track and the video, it's a cool laid back track and I would highly recommended it. So check it out and let us know what you think of the video.

Game of Thrones – Season 1 Episode 1 – Story analysis
PDF, 143 pages
Read the story analysis of Game of Thrones
In the snowy forest in the North, a scout discovers the massacred corpses of a group of wildlings. He runs away.
Exposition and catalyst of a first plot. We can guess that we will have to develop and solve this enigma.
The scout tells his two colleagues about the corpses. One of them, skeptical, decides to go and check. There, the corpses have disappeared. While searching for them, the skeptic colleague gets massacred too and the scout and his last colleague run away. But they are being followed from close, and the colleague finishes beheaded.
The plot develops but the mystery gets thicker. Information: we have seen as much as the scout, and more than his skeptical colleague. We know that the scout told the truth and that his colleague is wrong: it creates dramatic irony.
The title sequence gives no dramatic information but it informs the audience about the genre, the register, the atmosphere, the spirit of the story.
The scout is caught in a field by armed knights.
Ellipsis of a part of the action. The Act II of this short plot develops.
In a castle, a child – Bran Stark – shoots his arrow. A grown-up – his half-brother Jon – encourages him.
The arrow shooting is a thematic element. The important here is to expose these new characters: a kid who will become a warrior, an older brother taking care of him.
Arya Stark is busy sewing.
Exposition. We discover her for the first time. Actually, this presentation is a wrong track: we will very soon state that Arya is not at all the kind of "good girl" who spends time sewing.
Bran misses his shot, under the watch of his 2 parents, Catelyn and Eddard Stark who encourage him. An arrow reaches the heart of the target: not Bran but Arya shot it. Bran starts running after his sister who escapes.
Those scenes broaden the field and position the characters: 2 parents, 2 children.
The micro-plot of the arrow shooting is already over. It only helped showing that Bran is learning to hold his noble role and that Arya prefers shooting arrows rather than sewing.
A messenger informs Stark that a deserter of the Night's Watch was arrested. Catelyn sounds skeptical. We can understand that Stark must kill this deserter. He asks Bran to come and see the execution. Catelyn disagrees but Stark insists: Bran needs to be educated because "winter is coming".
Exposition of Ed Stark in his official function of justice-maker. It is mostly thematic: it establishes his authority and the brutality of his time.
"Winter is coming": as you know, we will hear about that very frequently all along the first seasons, it is an intense form of pattern repetition and it contributes to create an overall dramatic tension.
In the court, Jon Snow, the bastard of Stark, exchanges a mute watch with Catelyn. We can feel she does not like him.
After the exposition of the "nice, united family", we needed an exception. So here is the bastard, the unloved of the family. His situation bears a germ of latent conflicts.
In a valley, a few men circle the scout before his execution. He asks Stark to tell his family he is sorry. Under the watch of Jon and Bran, Stark beheads him off. Jon congratulates Bran for having showed some courage and watched until the end.
Two plots, the exposition of the world of the Starks, and the causes of the desertion of the scout, converge. One resolves the other. But the plot of the scout has set a fundamental theme – the supernatural threat coming from the North – that will find its culminating point in 20 episodes, in the end of season 2…
Stark discusses with Bran. He explains him why he had to kill this man. Bran asks: "it is true that he saw the white walkers?" Bran seems to have doubts about the guilt of the "deserter" and his father lacks arguments to contradict his son.
This scene plays two roles. It personalizes the worries about the "white walkers" through the identification of the audience to this smart and charming boy. It also shows Bran as a precociously moral mind, and Stark as a caring father taking account of one of his heir's opinion.
Stark and his troop discover a dead deer, belly open, eaten by worms. They search the area and find a giant dead wolf that has a deer horn still stuck in the throat. Aside, they find wolf cubs. Some people in the troop want to kill them, some others want to keep them. Jon pledges to keep them, Stark accepts and each of his sons take one cub, except Jon, who had none since he is only a bastard. But he suddenly finds a white wolf cub and keeps it.
This scene generates dramatic irony by substantiating the claim of the unfairly beheaded scout and proving that Bran had the right intuition.
In a cathedral, nuns accomplish rituals around the body of a high-rank aristocrat. At the balcony of this cathedral, Jaime Lannister visits his sister Cersei. The dead man was the "Hand of the King" (Jon Arryn). Cersei would like Jaime to take his position, but Jaime is not convinced.
Transition. For the first time, we leave the North and change world. Big contrast of ambiance.
Exposition of King's Landing, its court and its plots.
Exposition of Cersei and Jaime as selfish conspirators.
Exposition of the problem: who will be the new Hand of the King?
Catelyn comes to visit Stark under a tree. She informs him about Jon Arryn's death ("he was like a father to you"), and about the fact that King Robert Baratheon and his court are coming to visit them at Winterfell. Stark guesses that it is to name him Hand of the King.
We come back to Winterfell for a synthesis: the death of Jon Arryn at King's Landing has consequences at Winterfell; the plots converge.
Catelyn organizes the meal for the King.
The Stark sons get shaved at the barbershop.
From the castle walls, Bran sees King Robert and his court arriving. The kid climbs very quickly down the wall; but his mother Catelyn catches him and forbids him to climb and take such risks.
The three previous scenes made narrative time pass and made the information about the King's arrival a reality.
Those mini-plots in series – Catelyn organizes the meal, her older sons get shaved and her younger son climbs and watches – are sides of one synthetic plot about the King's arrival. Each character having a bit of personal action also belongs to a wider collective character: the Stark clan. Following Catelyn then Robb and Jon then Bran then Arya in their various reactions to the King's arrival, equals following "the Starks get ready to welcome the King".
Arya Stark puts a helmet on and observes the entrance of the King in the city. In the court of the castle where the Starks and their court wait in a range, Arya, missing, is expected. She finally joins them – Stark takes her helmet off her head. King Robert enters the court, everybody kneels. Robert greets Stark a familiar way: they are old friends.
The anecdote of the helmet continues exposing Arya as a tomboy attracted to weapons and war.
Information distribution: little surprise of the viewer when stating the familiarity between Robert and Stark. They knew they were old friends, while we are just discovering they are.
In the crypt, King Robert names Stark "Hand of the King". Stark wants to refuse but the King insists, and adds that he is going to marry his son with one of the Stark daughters.
This confirms what Stark had guessed, but it surprises us because it goes further than what we could expect.
At a brothel, Tyrion Lannister flirts with a prostitute, showing his wit. His brother Jaime bursts into the room with no shame at all: he comes to invite his brother to the dinner with the Stark clan, and he even provides Tyrion with three new prostitutes.
Exposition of these two characters. It is the second time that we see some of the Lannisters, the second time that we see Jaime, the first time that we see Tyrion. Tyrion is exposed on the basis of his small size and his taste for debauchery and fine words. It is a surprise that he is the brother of the tall, strong, handsome, manly Jaime.
King Robert prays in memory of his dead wife, in the crypt of the Starks. His wife was Ed Stark's sister. She was killed by a Targaryen.
This allows the viewer to better understand the genealogies and the clans in presence. The allusion to the Targaryen allows a very fluid thematic transition with the following scene. Finally, this element allows us to understand why Robert, later on, will want so much to have Daenerys Targaryen assassinated: as a revenge.
"Pentos, on the other side of the detroit". Looking sad, Daenerys Targaryen watches the horizon. His brother Viserys comes to make her admire a piece of cloth. They are hosted since more than a year and Viserys is still waiting to get back his throne, he says. He strips his sister naked and announces "today you have to be perfect", before concluding "when the story of my reign will be written, it will say it started today". Daenerys enters a bath of steamy hot water, without expressing any pain.
Exposition of the Targaryen and of the light and airy world of Pentos, after 18 scenes about the Starks and 2 scenes about the Lannisters.
Catalyst and goal: Viserys uses the beauty of Daenerys to become King. Thus, Viserys = Hero and Daenerys = Helper of the Hero.
Exposition of Daenerys: 1/ beautiful, 2/ submitted, 3/ brave. It is easy to see that the property n°2 makes shadow to the two others. Daenerys will have to break free from her brother's leadership – goal and message that can implicitly please a modern feminist audience.
Daenerys, Viserys and a dignitary wait at the door of the house. A barbarian warrior and his men are riding horses to them. The dignitary describes the lineages in presence. The barbarian watches Daenerys with a bad air on his face. The plan of Viserys is to marry his sister to this Khal Drogo, but Daenerys secretly disagrees. Viserys leaves her no choice, because this marriage is part of his plan to reconquer "his" throne by using the army of Drogo. Daenerys seems resignated.
This scene that renews and details the catalyst and the goal of Viserys as Hero who wants to become King, develops the identities and motivations of each character but only confirms what we just saw: the submission of Daenerys gets explained by the pressure she takes from Viserys.
Catelyn and her daughter Sansa evoke the project of marriage between Sansa and Prince Joffrey Baratheon, son of King Robert and Cersei.
A huge feast. King Robert laughs, eats and drinks. Queen Cersei and Catelyn watch with dignity.
Those two scenes synthetize our data. King Robert contributes to make the two clans closer despite of their oppositions – a less powerful but respectable family and a very powerful, legitimate but corrupted family.
Those scenes exemplify the feminine condition in this world: to be the object of transactions between men who decide, and to keep one's dignity in all circumstances, even in discomfort or violence.
Outside, Benjen and Jon Snow meet by chance. Jon asks Benjen to hire him in the Night's Watch but Benjen is skeptical and leaves.
Jon reveals a goal. He asks for a Helper… who refuses his help! Wrong track on the actantial role.
Tyrion approaches Jon Snow. They get to know each other. Tyrion calls Jon a "bastard". He describes himself as a dwarf and a kind of bastard to the eyes of his father. The conversation leaves Jon Snow frustrated.
A strange encounter. Dramatically, nothing at stake. But thematically it is rich: Tyrion takes here a dimension of painful but honorable self-derision, while Jon Snow shows calmness and self-control, noble qualities that make his situation appear – again – unfair.
During the feast, Stark interrogates Benjen about the scout. Benjen depicts him as a good scout. They meditate about the recently observed supernatural phenomenons: the massacre, the gigantic wolf.
This feeds a generalized dramatic tension about Westeros being under the threat of supernatural forces.
This confirms that the justice of Stark was not so just, since the scout was a valuable soldier who did not make any mistake.
Queen Cersei and Catelyn are discussing. Cersei admires the beauty of Sansa, questions her about her periods which embarrasses Sansa, and orders her a dress. Cersei wants to make Sansa come to King's Landing and marry Joffrey. Cersei has a rather arrogant attitude.
This feeds the plot "Sansa promised to Joffrey".
Jaime comes to visit Stark and challenges him a calm and chivalrous way. Stark refuses the duel with dignity.
This scene contradicts the previous one – Jaime wants to fight against the father of his future parent – and feeds the theme of the hypocrisy of the Lannisters.
Arya has fun dirtying the dress of her sister Sansa, Catelyn asks Robb to send them both out.
Another proof of the rebellious personality of Arya and of the still quiet family order among the Starks. It is just kids having fun and parents caring for them. We will never see such a family harmony among the Lannisters: thematic contrast.
The evening, in bed, Catelyn and Stark are discussing. They criticize the King's immoderate taste for alcohol. Their old councelor comes to inform them a message will soon arrive: Lysa Arryn, sister of Catelyn, warns them that the Lannisters assassinated her husband Jon Arryn, the previous Hand of the King. They now fear that King Robert himself might be in danger.
In the end of an episode, such piece of information explodes like a narrative bomb, leading the audience to start calculating the multiple potential consequences. It confirms our knowledge about the vices of the Lannisters. which sets even more clearly the terms of the conflict: the more or less virtuous Stark vs. the more or less vicious Lannisters.
In Pentos, the barbarian wedding ceremony is in full swing: various foods, dances…Viserys is impatient, in the middle of the event he only cares about his invasion plans to "get his crown back". Men fight wildly and one kills the other: it is the usual way, in a dothraki marriage… The knight Jorah Mormont comes to make his present to the now married couple Drogo and Daenerys. Among other gifts Daenerys also receives 3 dragon eggs changed into stone. Drogo offers Daenerys a magnificent white horse.
Crisis of the plot "Daenerys married to Drogo".
At dusk, in the rocks by the sea, Drogo strips Daenerys naked, to fuck her, and she stays the passive and fearful prey of this barbarian warrior.
Climax of the plot "Daenerys married to Drogo".
At castle Winterfell, Tyrion is joking with a knight.
Dramatic pause between several very strong plot points. A transition scene, helping to softly shift the drama frame.
King Robert comes to visit Ed Stark. They go hunting together. Ed Stark's eyes meet the gaze of his son Bran.
Later, if we look backwards, we will know that this scene carries some undefined threats.
Bran climbs the rampart up to the highest window of a tower. He unwillingly surprises Jaime and Cersei Lannister making love – brother-sister incest! At first Jaime pretends to just talk him out, but then he pushes Bran in the void, probably to kill him.
It is the climax of a plot made of scattered elements:
the proximity between Cersei and Jaime,
the vices of the Lannisters,
the talent of Bran as a climber,
and synthesis: Bran while climbing discovers the incest of the Lannisters.
Jaime confirms his criminal aura by becoming the unscrupulous murderer of a child. As Robert McKee says: don't tell, show! From there, things can only get worse.
About the values, the story made things clear:
The Starks are a relatively united family, except for the problematic case of the bastard Jon Snow. Ed and Catelyn Stark have real skills as parents and as leaders even if they would prefer staying away from additional responsibilities.
On the contrary, on the side of the Lannisters we can see Cersei and Jaime plotting with a boundless ambition, then fucking together, Jaime challenging Stark arrogantly, Tyrion enjoying debauchery with cynicism, Jaime trying to kill Bran: a rather manichean accumulation of vices.
Dramatic overview
With this first, already very rich episode, the series starts booming by organizing the long-term convergence of plots coming from all over Westeros.
Scenes 1 to 11 have presented the world of the Starks: the structure of their family, the status of Eddard as a Lord and a justice-maker, the different personalities of the children: Sansa beautiful and submissive, Arya rebellious tomboy, Robb responsible elder brother, Jon excluded "bastard".
Scenes 12 to 19 make the worlds of the Lannisters and King Robert converge with the world of the Stark, through the plot in which Robert makes Eddard his new Hand of the King.
Scenes 20 to 22 then 32-33 launch from very far away some characters who will take the two seasons to get closer to the Iron Throne. Daenerys who will be the main character of the world of Pentos is presented at first as a simple pawn in the machiavelic game of her brother Viserys, and this situation of weakness will later allow Daenerys to take her real dimension by empowering herself.
Scenes 23 to 31 continue developing the convergence of the Lannisters and of the Starks who get opposed to each other in a series of conflicts. Scene 31 is the most important of the episode because it clearly designates the Lannisters as the main Antagonist of the Starks.
Scenes 34 and 35 make a transition towards scene 36, the most dramatic, that makes the antagonism between the Lannisters and the Starks real for the first time. This final scene stands as a typical cliffhanger. A cliffhanger is a technique of scenario that consists in terminating an episode on a very strong suspense, a big uncertainty, like here: pushed in the void by Jaime, will Bran die or miraculously survive?
