Marvel Studios receives Oscar nomination for Two movies in the same category
The year 2021 belonged to Marvel. The Marvel Cinematic Universe came up with some masterpiece movies and series (Disney+ MCU series) in 2021. MCU fans were introduced with the concept of Multiverse for the first time in 2021 through Marvel's Disney+ series WandaVision and Loki. They added to that theory with their Magnum Opus film of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home which became one of their most successful blockbusters ever.
Apart from these, MCU added a number of new characters in their roster with Shang Chi and The Legend of the ten Rings and Eternals. They also stuck to their small-scale projects with Hawkeye and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, both of which were again Disney+ series. Marvel thus expanded their cinematic universe ten folds in 2021.
No Way Home and Shang Chi get nominated for Oscars
They have now been rightfully awarded for their achievements as two of their movies – Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: No Way Home have been nominated for oscars.
Both the movies have been nominated for the same category – Best Visual Effects. A major part of almost every Marvel movie is made with CGI effects. Spider-Man: Now Way Home was almost entirely CGI manipulated. The fight between Peter Parker and Dr. Strange in the mirror dimension was probably the best Visual effects in the movie. It was done completely with the help of CGI.

Moreover, every Super-villain in the movie except William Defoe's Green Goblin needed some sort of CGI manipulation – like Doc Ock's mechanical arms and Electro's glow. Not to mention, Sandman and Lizards were completely VFX made.
In Shang Chi, the final battle between Wenwu and Shang Chi which included the Ten Rings was undoubtedly the best scene of the movie. The visual effects and the details involved in that scene were just perfect. Moreover, the scene involving the Great Protector and the Dweller in Darkness was absolutely sensational as well.
The Epic Battle scene between Wenwu and Shang Chi
However, many Marvel fans are disappointed as Spider-Man: No Way Home was not nominated for the Best picture award. However, the competition in that category was immense and as we all know, SuperHero movies are often not prioritized in these categories. "Belfast," "Coda," "Don't Look Up," "Drive My Car," "Dune," "King Richard," "Licorice Pizza," "Nightmare Alley," "The Power of the Dog," and "West Side Story" were all nominated for the Best Picture.
Although the two marvel movies are top contenders to win the Oscar for Best Visual effects, they have tough competition there as well. 'Dune', 'No Time To Die' and 'Free Guy' have also been nominated. Sci Fi epic 'Dune' is a favorite to win the award.

Irina Karamaković completed studies of Jazz Singing at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz and doctoral studies in Philosophy at the Institute for Jazz Research at the same University. Meanwhile, she build an impressive performing career: recorded some 15 albums, (Sandy Lopicic Orkestar, The Gitarren der Liebe, LA Big Band…), and one with her own band Songs from Kosovo, presenting old folk songs with unconventional, very contemporary arrangements. She will perform this program along with new works at this Festival for the first time in Serbia.


Conventional wisdom says you have to run, cycle, elliptical, or do some other highly aerobic activity if your aim is to burn calories and lose weight. So here's some great news for anyone who dreads those long slogs: Conventional wisdom isn't always so wise. While cardio sessions do burn calories (and of course have great benefits for your heart and lungs), they don't do much to boost your metabolism over the long haul—you basically burn only the finite number of calories during your time on the road or machine. With a smartly designed weight-training circuit, however, you'll set yourself up for some massive fat-melting "afterburn," while elevating your heart rate, building muscle, and (most definitely) breaking a sweat.
"When you want to get lean, the goal isn't simply to lose weight—it's to lose body fat and not muscle," says Mike Matthews, C.P.T., author of Bigger, Leaner, Stronger. His 45-minute ultimate fat-torching workout is like two sessions in one: a heavy-weight set combined with a higher rep/shorter rest set.
"The heavy compound lifting burns quite a bit of calories both during and after the workout, and spikes your heart rate," he says, "It's like a weightlifting version of HIIT—people that haven't tried it before are usually surprised at how freaking hard it is to do heavy squatting and deadlifting back to back." It's topped off with a lighter, faster set that burns more calories and creates even more metabolic stress. For this workout, you'll need to know your one-rep max for the deadlift, barbell overhead press, and squat.

Restaurant style salsa made the authentic Mexican way!!! Sure to become everyone's favorite salsa.
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, I am sharing with you the absolute Best. Salsa. Ever.
I am sure you might have a good recipe for salsa, I used to have what I thought was a good recipe too. But I can promise you, it probably does not compare to this. My recipe went something like this: fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, lemon, garlic, and salt. Sound familiar? Yeah, well this recipe takes it to a whole different level.
I told her it looked good and she told me it was for salsa. Say what?!?! Don't you just throw in some tomatoes, onion, etc. into the blender?
"This is Mexican cooking 101," she tells me.
Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
Continue to saute, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. See photos above. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime, and rotel into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds). Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving. Serve with your favorite Mexican dish or with chips.
This recipe tastes better after 24 hours. You can refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
This salsa sounds amazing!! I love that the veggies are charred first. I'm sure it adds so much flavor. I need to try this!
I've never seen a salsa recipe like that – and it's a good thing! I love the creativity of this recipe, and I think my favorite part is the charring of the vegetables. I bet that really amps up the flavor! Great recipe, Amy!
It would go great with your Flautas Heather!!
Ahh! So true, it's perfect!
Yes I wonder how much fresh cabbage she added that was omitted in this recipe?
How spicy is it on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is mild and 10 is burning a hole in your mouth hot.
To me it's about a 7, it is spicy, but still has taste. You can adjust the spicy factor by adding another jalapeño or taking one away.
Do you leave the seeds in on all the peppers?
We tried this last night in Berlin. We couldn't find a Poblano, but used a Spitzpaprika (similar to an Anaheim pepper where I'm from) instead. We also only had one Jalapeno, so we added a tiny bit of Birdseye to even it out. It gave it a sneak attack, starts sweet, then bites you later. Love it.
The problem we had though, was what to do with the Tomatoes after roasting them, Typically other salsa recipes would remove the skin and seeds, but that seems kind of meaningless in this instance. Could you share your method here please?
Also we seemed to have way too much fluid, even though we didn't add any water. Is there a way to avoid this?
I leave the skin on, and dive into chunks. Also, it is heavy on the liquid. When using real veggies there is no way around it.
do i need to change it to produce and can thirty six pints and i am grilling the veggies on bbq grill instead of stove top…..
I wish I knew! I am not smart with canning at all and have never tried.
I cut the jalapeno down to 1/2 pepper and it was still too spicy. My kids won't touch it. Next batch won't have it. May switch from pablano to chipotle pepper as well.
Hi Dana! Sorry it was too spicy. Did you take out the seeds? That really cuts down on spice. Also, some jalapeños are spicier than others and sometimes you get unlucky with a super hot one.
Great recipe! Is the poblano pepper fresh or dry?
How much does this make in cups? Pints?
I made this salsa today and it was excellent. I only used I jalapeño pepper as my family can't do the heat but I think I will use 2 next time.

Q: Metal-Insulator from number of atoms in the basis I have an issue understanding what A&M means while saying this in chapter 12:

It is a reassuring exercise to go through the periodic table looking up the crystal structure of all insulating solid elements. They will all be found to have either even valence or a crystal structure that can be characterized as a lattice with a basis containing an even number of atoms [...]

Although it is clear why an insulator should have an even number of valence electrons, I can't figure out how the number of atoms of the crystal basis influences the conductivity.
Thanks for the help.

A: I think it is simply that usually each atom will have an integer number of valence electrons, so if there are an even number of atoms per unit cell, there will be an even number of valence electrons per unit cell. So if spin interactions are negligible and only act as a source of degeneracy, all orbitals will be filled and there will be a gap to the next excited state.
As an aside, this picture is pretty hand wavy and not completely true. Mott insulators for example are the most famous exception to the "even electrons for insulation" rule.

To whom it concerns, This letter is in reference to Scott Wartman's decision to print and respond to Rick McCulley's attack of the Northerner's credibility and jounalistic integrety. As a spokesman for Get Some Film Production LTD., it should be noted that Mr. McCulley had no intention of his letter being printed. Rather, it was meant only to be read and digested by Mr. Wartman, whom he shared a working past with. Scott published the letter anyway, and took the liberty of takcing on credentials after Rick's name, which is a serious editorial faux pas, especially when it is in error; Rick is not a co-founder of Get Some Film, nor has he ever claimed to be. Secondly, even a casual inspection of Rick's letter shows that there is no mention of his feelings of Holly Hayden's film review. I have personally corresponded with Holly of this matter and have assured her that we appreciate her interest in what we're doing. We are responsible enough as a company to take criticism without contepmt, and a letter written by Rick McCulley on his own volition should not reflect the feelings of an entire organization. Get Some Film in thankful for The Northerner's consistency to plug our name and activities, and we hope that our relationship with NKU and resident Newspaper has not been spoiled by the editorial assumptions from one man's humorous letter. If you've read this far, I thank you for your time, and will spare you from a quote. Thanks to both loyal Northerner readers and fans of Get Some. With much sincerety, Dave Cartledge, publicist, www.getsomefilm.com

Just what we needed dept: An LED lamp powered by a candle
Sustainability made simple
Derek Markham derekmarkham
© Lumir
The heat of a small tea light candle in the Lumir C is used to generate electricity, which then powers its LED bulbs.
Lloyd usually covers the 'just what we needed dept,' but I can't really let him have all the fun, so in the spirit of 'just because we can doesn't mean we should,' here's an LED lamp that doesn't need batteries or a plug, but instead uses tea lights to generate electricity.
This lamp doesn't have a cord or battery pack to light up its LED bulbs, but it does need a steady supply of tea light candles, which each provide about four hours of illumination, thanks to the inclusion of a device that takes advantage of the thermoelectric Seebeck effect to generate electricity from the heat of the candle. According to the company, a single candle puts out about 1 lumen, but when coupled with the Lumir C, the lamp produces about 15 lumens from its LED bulbs, in effect multiplying the illumination of a tea light to a level bright enough to read by or to light up a table.
The company behind the Lumir C lamp proclaims its eco-friendly nature by saying that because batteries "have been causing severe pollution to environment," and the Lumir C doesn't use any, "it is free from that problem." Well, it is free of the battery problem, but it's still got an embodied energy and materials problem, as well as a paraffin-based candle problem, and instead of a clean light, it produces a light with added carcinogens and soot from the wax. Of course, you could use 100% beeswax tea candles for this, which are claimed to be less harmful to burn in an enclosed space, but one look at the price tag on those might discourage most users.
However, for emergencies and power outages, and in areas without regular grid access (but with easy access to tea lights?), the Lumir lamp may have an advantage over using kerosene or multiple candles for lighting, and can help avoid issues with battery life and solar charging. But at $69 each, for either the Lumir C or the Lumir Spot (with directional spotlight LED bulb), this candle-powered lamp isn't exactly cheap, and spending the $70 on a decent solar charger, battery pack, and LED light could be a much better use of that money.
Having said that, the Lumir C is a home accessory likely to fit right in to your decor with its lighthouse-like shape and handful of color options, and is virtually guaranteed to be a conversation starter at your next gathering. Just don't claim that it's eco-friendly.

University Of Maryland Student Formally Charged With Hate Crime In Murder Of Black Lieutenant
By Danielle Kwateng-Clark	· October 18, 2017 October 26, 2020
On Tuesday, Sean Christopher Urbanski, the University of Maryland student who was held without bond for the murder of Richard Collins III was indicted by a grand jury for a hate crime.
Last May on the College Park campus of University of Maryland, Urbanski reportedly stabbed Collins —a commissioned second lieutenant— days before obtaining his degree at Bowie State University.
According to the court documents, Collins was waiting for the university's shuttle bus with his friends around 3 a.m. when they realized the it stopped running for the night, so they called an Uber.
While waiting for the car, Urbanski approached the group and reportedly said, "Step left, step left if you know what's best for you." Confused at the request, Collins responded by saying "no" before Urbanski pulled out a 3 to 4 inch knife and struck Collins in the chest.
Urbanski, a member of the racist Facebook group called "Alt-Reich", did not know Collins previously.
As reported by KTLA 5, prosecutors plan to seek the maximum sentence of life without parole in the murder case. Urbanski faces an additional 20-year term if convicted of a hate crime.
"[My son] prided himself on his time in his ROTC unit and on being the top runner in his PFTs," his father, Richard Collins Jr. told NBC 4 Washington. "He even won a certificate for being the best."

Discussion in 'iPad Help' started by andr21, Jul 24, 2011.
i love my ipad, on my itunes and app store (on my ipad) i have brought loads of songs, films, tv programs and apps.
now, i want to buy a macbook pro, but! if i buy a macbook pro and i plug in my ipad will all my songs/films etc go on to my macbook?? or do i have to buy them all again?! and will i be able to make albums with my photos ? . and is it a problem that ive sync'd it with my pc already??
You don't ever have to buy anything twice. Once you buy it, iTunes will recognize that you already purchased it.
I can't help you with your other issues, but will bump this thread to our iPad Help section.
You can only put photos into folders by doing this on your PC, not on your iPad. On your PC set up a folder and subfolders for your photos you want on the iPad. Then in iTunes locate your iPad in the device section on the left. Click on the photos tab and tell it to sync to the folder and subfolders you set up on your PC.
Your photos brought into the iPad using your camera connection kit can be found by plugging your iPad into your PC and going into windows explorer. Locate your iPad, click on internal storage subfolder and you will see the DCIM subfolder which will have other subfolders of all your photos on the iPad. You can copy them to your PC from there.

You can sign up really quickly with your email and by following the step by step instructions clearly displayed to help you register for your new eWallet and start using it to store your Bitcoin digital currency. Another option is to download a Software eWallet. First, you need to download a specific computer program on your desktop and then run it from there. These types of eWallets are more secure than the normal web-based ones as you have complete control over the funds and you don't have to depend on a third party service for anything. Some famous and popular eWallets that can be downloaded include notable brands names such as Armory, Bitcoin Core and Multibit.
The second step is actually to purchase the Bitcoin currency, and it is a relatively straightforward and easy going process. The Bitcoin currency can be bought from people that may live close to you and may be willing to part with them. Alternatively, you can use different online payment methods to buy them online. You can also buy the Bitcoin using your own currency. The third and final step is to spend your Bitcoin at a reputable online casino that accepts the virtual money. Once you register for and acquire a Bitcoin eWallet, and you load up some Bitcoin, you can start playing immediately. The transactions are typically processed almost instantaneously, and you can start playing casino games straight away. To actually send the Bitcoin to an online casino one uses the recipient address usually from the online casino or the one from the eWallet that you want to transfer the Bitcoins to or from, then click on the Send button.
Bitcoin's technology provides users with an ultra-high level of security, and it is incredibly convenient and easy to use. Literally, anyone can send Bitcoin, anywhere, anytime, even your grandmother! Bitcoin is decentralised, which happily means there are no greedy banks involved, no prying government agencies or dangerous third parties involved. You have complete and unconditional control over your own funds. Many people think Bitcoin is overly complicated to use, but in reality, it cannot be more simple.
Bitcoin can easily by purchasing in a number of manners, primarily online with a debit or credit card. There is a standard 3-step process to acquire Bitcoin. It ensures a worry-free online Bitcoin experience. You will need to get an eWallet first and foremost. They can be downloaded for free directly to your smartphone or tablet. The eWaller can be found at the app store and usually provides significantly enhanced security and safety features. The eWallet will also be enabled with a unique QR code capability, which will permit instant payments. It's almost like buying currency from a high-street bank. The regulated exchanges are guaranteed safe, and they are really simple to use and a convenient way to buy Bitcoin online. Most of them will understandably initially require a picture of your ID document or card to effect the initial purchase. Once that is validated, the entire process is plain sailing and can be completed within a few minutes at the most. The eWallet also allows you to keep an accurate record of all transactions made. It's always better to use a downloaded eWallet instead of an online one. Of, on the other hand, you have a lot of Bitcoin, a traditional paper wallet or hardware wallet is a better and more secure method to store your Bitcoin, as it can never be hacked or compromised. You can mitigate all the risks by using several eWallets to store and to use and spend your Bitcoin. On the event that you buy Bitcoin from a Peer, rather than a Bitcoin exchange, make doubly sure to select a reputable seller with a solid reputation. Most dedicated Peer to Peer exchange sites have systems that rate sellers based on past experiences, so you should do a bit of research first. Furthermore, it is always best to use a different Bitcoin address, never use the same one more than one time.
These days all the better and more progressive online casinos have started accepting the Bitcoin digital currency as a method to withdraw and deposit funds to and from the casino. This new form of cryptocurrency has been steadily weaving its way into online casinos in recent years. This relatively new type of payment system and digital cryptocurrency has come into the mainstream.
You can also use Bitcoin to send and receive funds over the Internet with a low optimal fee, or even free in some cases. This is done with the help of web or software based eWallets. The digital currency is now accepted at many websites that allow Bitcoin payments. You can purchase goods, or shop online and, of course, use the digital cryptocurrency at any online casino that accepts it.
The Bitcoin currency is really quite simple and easy to use at an online casino provides you have a Bitcoin eWallet which is loaded up with some Bitcoin. Funds are processed super-fast and, in many cases, without additional transaction fees. The best thing about casino deposits with Bitcoin is that you always remain completely anonymous and you do not have to provide your personal or banking details to the online casino. You are always well protected and 100% safe.

Q: How to get file data from a specific git commit using gitpython I am trying get a file from a specific commit using gitpython python-module.
I'm able to get the file (with content) from the latest commit. However I want to get the file (with content) from a specific previous git commit.
repo = git.Repo("G:\myrespo")
obj = repo.git.get_object_data(x.a_blob)

How can I get it ?

A: Here's one way to get a file from a specific commit:
import io

repo = Repo('G:\myrespo')

# Retrieve specific commit from repo
# The revision specifier must be one of the specifiers defined in
# https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-parse#_specifying_revisions
# In this example, we'll use a SHA-1

commit = repo.commit('7ba4789adf73c0555fbffad3b62d61e411c3b1af')

# Retrieve a file from the commit tree
# You can use the path helper to get the file by filename

targetfile = commit.tree / 'some_file.md'

# Retrieve contents of targetfile

with io.BytesIO(targetfile.data_stream.read()) as f:
    print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))

targetfile is a standard GitPython Object:
>>> targetfile.name
'some_file.md'
>>> targetfile.type
'blob'

A: You could also use PyDriller (a wrapper around GitPython), that makes it easier:
for commit in RepositoryMining("repo", single="commit_hash").traverse_commits():
    # list of modified files of the commit
    commit.modifications

Q: how to wait a value to return if it is not a promise for example, there is an asynchronous function that i don't develop myself, but I know for a random time(in a few seconds) that function will return a value.
Is that any way to wait for the return if it doesn't return a promise?

A: Not as such.
You could write a wrapper function that returns a promise which polls until it gets a result.
The promise would then call the function you didn't write repeatedly (e.g. with setInterval) until it returned a value and then pass it to resolve.
function wrap_function () {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
         var interval = setInterval(function () {
             var result = the_origional_function();
             if (result) {
                 clearInterval(interval);
                 resolve(result);
             }
         }, 2000);
    });
}

(Assuming I'm interpreting the statement "in a few seconds) that function will return a value" correctly)

South Bass Island is a tiny little 3.7 mile by 1.5 mile island which sits 3 miles off the coast of mainland Ohio and is surrounded by Lake Erie. I love islands and have lived on several in my life, and am particularly fond of those not connected by road. They are neat little pockets of culture and I always enjoy visiting them. Accessible by boat or air, South Bass Island is often called Put-In Bay, and has been referred to as the "Key West of Lake Erie". While that may be a bit of a stretch, it is a really neat place with some great bars and restaurants and some interesting history. I enjoyed visiting the fascinating Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, which commemorates the naval battle for Lake Erie during the War of 1812. While I was there in the off-season and on a chilly and rainy Monday, I still had a really great time on the island and wanted to share these photos from my trip. While not as off-the-beaten-path as the trip you may remember I took to Daufuskie Island in South Carolina (read that story HERE), Put-In Bay is a really cool place and definitely one you should visit if you are in the area.

Q: Cannot fetch array value in variable - angular Brief Explanation: I have fetched result in variable res using **js**.
Result of res on console is shown below.
see here

Requirement: I want to get the value of res in angular variable. I have declared

resarry = [];
When i do
this.resarry = res;
console.log(this.resaary);

Error coming - Cannot set property of 'resarray` undefined.
console.log(results); // no problem in this line
console.log(this.resarry); // giving error
export class HomePage {
resarry = [];

constructor(){
     var connection = new JsStore.Instance();
              var dbName = 'Demo';
          connection.openDb(dbName);

          connection.select({
            from: Test1,
          }).then(function(res) {
         // results will be array of objects

            console.log(res,'results');
            this.resarry = results;
console.log(results); // no problem in this line
console.log(this.resarry); // giving error

          }).catch(function(err) {
            console.log(err, 'error');
            alert(err.message);
        });

}
}

A: Change:
connection.select({
  from: Test1,
}).then(function(res) {
  // ...
});

to:
connection.select({
  from: Test1,
}).then(res => {
  // ...
});

Basically, function() { ... } can't access this from the outer scope, while arrow functions can. A more in-depth explanation can be found here.
Also, arrow functions' docs.

A: resarry:number[] = new Array();

will initialize an empty array which is not undefined.
you can set the type where your result is expected to be.

A: connection.select({
         from: Test1,
      }).then(function(res) { // results will be array of objects
        console.log(res,'results');
        this.resarry = results; //  perhaps like that => this.resarry = res
        console.log(results); // i think, you should have an error on this line because **results** isn't a variable but a string in your console
        console.log(this.resarry); // giving error

      })

A: Because, the "this" meant to be the current function object. So the "this", you have used in the constructor is not the actual component
Use Arrow function or
constructor(){
     var connection = new JsStore.Instance();
              var dbName = 'Demo';
          connection.openDb(dbName);
     var $this = this;
          connection.select({
            from: Test1,
          }).then(function(res) {
         // results will be array of objects

            console.log(res,'results');
            $this.resarry = results;
console.log(results); // no problem in this line
console.log($this.resarry); // giving error

          }).catch(function(err) {
            console.log(err, 'error');
            alert(err.message);
        });

}

A: User arrow functions as well as typescript types to validate things before assigning
export class HomePage {
    resarry: any[] = []; //--> resarry: any[] -> used to set the type as array
    constructor() {
        let connection = new JsStore.Instance(); //-> use Let insted of Var
        let dbName = 'Demo';
        connection.openDb(dbName);
        connection.select({
            from: "Test1",
        }).then(res => {
            console.log(res);
            if (res)
                if (res.length > 0){
                    this.resarry = res;
                    console.log(this.resarry);
                    console.log("connection Successful with array objects");
                }else{
                    console.log("connection Successful  without array objects");
                }
        }), err => {
            console.log("connection error");
        };

    }
}

Whoopi takes over for Rosie on the View

Tags: Rosie O'Donnell, television, The View, Whoopi Goldberg
It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.
The View announced on air today that Whoopi Goldberg would be replacing former co-host Rosie O'Donnell. Star Jones's old spot on the panel still remains unfilled. Hopefully Sherri Shepard will get that spot - although the article warns us not to hold our breath. (Another source says talks broke down between Shepard and ABC.)
The show lost my interest when Rosie left. I thought it was refreshing to hear my side of some of the debates actually expressed instead of whitewashed over. Thousands dead in Iraq? Pshaw. Elizabeth Hasselbeck doesn't care - she'd rather sing BushCo's praises. And Barbara Walters take a stand on anything? Riiiiight... Whoopi at least isn't shy about speaking her mind. Quotes from Whoopi and Rosie after the jump.
"I love this show," Goldberg, 51, said upon joining the panel on Wednesday's show. "I love coming on it. I love hanging out with you guys."
O'Donnell approved of the choice. "Whoopi is fantastic in every way. She's perfect for the job. She's amazing and one of my favorites," she said in a statement.

Dear Zoe is an epistolary, young-adult novel by the American writer Philip Beard. which was first published in 2004. The narrator is fifteen-year-old Tess DeNunzio, who writes to her younger sister Zoe about her experiences after Zoe died. The novel is set in 2002 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and follows Tess's first year of high school.

Dear Zoe tells the story of 15-year-old Tess DeNunzio, who is wracked by guilt after losing her half-sister in a hit-and-run accident on the day of the September 11 attacks. The novel was selected by Booklist, a magazine of the American Library Association, as one of the ten best first novels of 2005.

When Beard originally wrote this novel, he was advised by a friend to change the format from epistolary to first person. After he made these changes and sent the manuscript to publisher, the manuscript was rejected several times. It was not until he changed it back to being an epistolary novel that he was published. Beard had a hard time publishing "Dear Zoe". After being rejected so many times, he decided to self-publish. While he was in the process of self-publishing, he went to a bookstore near his house that his friend owned. His friend and owner of the bookstore gave a copy of his manuscript to a publisher at Penguin Books, which published it. "Dear Zoe" appeared in several best book lists and the American Library Association named it one of the best books in 2005.

Background and writing
Beard took inspiration for Tess's character from his own stepdaughter who was Tess's age when he first started writing. Beard first started writing this novel before 9/11 happened. The death of Zoe was not planned until after 9/11. All Beard had originally planned was for Tess to go live with her biological father. The events of 9/11 inspired him to wonder how many other people died on that day that seemed to be forgotten about. Thus Beard's first novel was created. Beard had said in an interview that this book was emotionally draining to write. Once he was finished writing the book, Beard found it difficult to publish. His friend who owned a local bookstore gave his manuscript to a representative from Penguin Books. This representative gave the book to Viking, who contacted Beard about publishing it. After this Beard was published and Dear Zoe took off.
The writing of "Dear Zoe" was very emotional for Beard but came naturally. While the chapters originated with numbers as their titles, Beard later decided to name each one.  Some of the chapters were more difficult to name than others; Beard tried to find the heart of each chapter in the novel to name the chapter. According to Beard, the most difficult part of writing "Dear Zoe" was to keep 9/11 in the background and not become overwhelmed. Beard took inspiration from his own family life and stepdaughter.[source needed]

Plot
The story begins with 15-year-old Tess Denuizo who is remembering how her family named her sister. Tess gives insight about her family in the first chapter. The reader learns that Tess has two half sisters and David is her stepfather. Her biological father is a mess. Tess talks about how her relationship with David is very different from her two sisters. By the third chapter, it is revealed that something terrible happened to her sister Zoe almost a year previous. She talks a lot about how the family has been coping. The family attends therapy and tries to get through the death of Zoe, but things have been hard. Tess's mom has become very depressed and was once the leader of the house, but now David and Tess do everything around the house. Tess learns that her mother might have been sleeping with Justin, a young man who works at the store that is down the street from their house. After this event, Tess decides to move in with her biological father. She starts to adapt to her new living arrangements and has a hard time knowing she left her sister Em, who is much younger than her. She goes to see her at school and promises to see her every week. Tess has a moment with the boy next door, Jimmy Freeze, where she listens to the music he is playing. After this moment, she starts to see him around more. She finally talks to him one day while she is sitting on her porch and offers him a beer but his dad refuses to let her give him one. Her dad then warns her to stay away from him. One day when she is sitting outside on the porch, a man named Travis approaches her. Travis claims to be a friend of her father. Travis gives her money to give to her dad, which Tess finds weird. He asks her if she has ever had some of the "product" but Tess did not understand. Travis then asks her if she would like to smoke weed but Tess denies it. After Travis leaves, Tess confronts her dad about him selling weed. After their encounter, Tess starts hanging out with Jimmy Freeze without telling her dad. One night, Jimmy sneaks into Tess's window and they smoke weed together. It is now summer time and Tess gets a job at boardwalk working at a lemonade stand. Jimmy and Tess start hanging out more, with much of their time consisting of smoking and kissing. David asks Tess to start calling her mother again and their relationship improves. On Tess's sixteenth birthday, she wakes up to find out her dad and Jimmy are in jail for selling weed. Tess is home with her dog when her dad comes home from jail. Her dog runs into the street and her father hits the dog. Her dad brings the dog to the veterinarian while Jimmy stays with her. This event triggers her memory of what happened to Zoe. She tells the story about how she was supposed to be watching Zoe outside but she ran inside to watch the news of 9/11 when her sister ran into the street and was killed by a car. Her dad returns hours later and reassures Tess that her dog is going to be fine. When she goes to bed that night, she wakes up and forces her dad to bring her home to get a picture of Zoe. When she goes inside, she realizes she needs to stay. In the final chapter, Tess talks about how she is coping. She continues to see Jimmy, and things seem to be improving.[entire section needs improving]

Themes
Tess uses the letters to work through some deep issues that surfaced from the death of Zoe. Some of the key themes have been going on before Zoe's death. By writing to Zoe, Tess eventually has closure and accepts her sister's death. One theme is conflict. Tess has conflicts between Zoe's death and 9/11, confusing family relationships. Fate, Guilt, Escape and holding on.

There are many conflicts that go on in the novel. The first major one is the tragedy of 9/11 and Zoe's death. Zoe happened to die on 9/11 but not from the terrorist attacks. This issue is something that the main character Tess often brings up. Another opposite conflict that Tess often compares is David and her dad Nick. She constantly brings up the differences between them. David is well put together and accomplished in his life. On the other hand, Tess's dad, Nick does not do much at all. They both treat her differently and in different manners. She is constantly comparing them to each other.  In addition, she brings up the biological divide between her and her sisters. This causes constant internal conflict for Tess because she is treated differently.

The many other themes of the books are fate, guilt, escaping and not being able to move on. The theme of fate is brought up a lot in this novel. Tess always  Guilt is a theme that dominates most of the novel. The reader does not find out what happens to Zoe until the end but guilt is an underlying theme for Tess. She feels guilty not only for Zoe's death but also for leaving her other sister Emily home while she lives at her father's house. Which is the next theme of the book, escaping. Tess escapes from her reality by moving in with her biological father. She could not handle what was going on at home between her mother, Zoe and her own emotions to stay there. Tess also escapes with drugs. She experiments with marijuana with the next-door neighbor, Jimmy Freeze. When she uses marijuana, it is like everything stops for her. Although the book span is over a year, all the characters are not able to move on from the death of Zoe.

Publication and reviews
"Dear Zoe" was first published in 2002 by Penguin. "Dear Zoe" were originally written and marketed for adults but after appearing on the American Library Association's list, it became a novel for young adults. The novel has had a lot of positive reception and reviews. Booklist named it one of the Ten Best First Novels of the Year. The School Library Journal named it one of the "Best Books of 2005" in the category of "Best Adult Books for High School Students". "Dear Zoe" has great reviews from notable publishers and websites like the BookList, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, and Publishers Weekly. Many schools now read "Dear Zoe" because it deals with a loss of a family member. It is a coming of age novel where students can identify easily with Tess and her experiences not only with death but growing up in general.

Film adaptation

In November 2019, The Hollywood Reporter reported that a film adaptation was in development, directed by Gren Wells and starring Sadie Sink, Theo Rossi, Jessica Capshaw, Justin Bartha and Vivien Lyra Blair. The filming began in October 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and concluded in November 2019.

I guess this post is where I reveal some of my secrets 😉 Forget the formal structure of the other guides, I'll just describe things a bit and then go into some of the tactics that are very effective with the 606 SF.
There you go, virtually guaranteed immunity against 3 commanders. What more could you ask for? Of course, the "hard counters" involved are actually tactics, not individual units. You cannot call the Sniper a hard counter to infantry if you let it get spotted, since it gets killed extremely quickly. You cannot call the Fire Coordinator a hard counter to artillery if you don't deploy enough of them because of poor points allocation, or don't plan ahead and move them far enough forward because you were too busy bombarding targets that didn't matter as much. You cannot call Rangers a hard counter to the Mongrels if you let them get easily spotted (which the Mongrels SHOULDN'T be able to do) or didn't deploy enough Drones to spot targets and take advantage of their increased range. It's definitely not as simple as elsewhere, where Javelins and Heavy Tanks murder enemy tanks wherever they go, or Heavy Artillery always squash infantry etc etc. I think you get my point.
1. Rangers have longer range (!), superior mobility (!), can kill infantry in 2 hits on open ground………..but cost more.
2. SF Tanks have one extra action point meaning they can devastate the enemy base, deliver tank-level firepower & survivability across long distances and kill Medium Tanks in one turn…… but cost WAY more.
4. Fire Coordinators have INSANE range……..but cost >1.5x MLRS and don't exactly have deal-breaking firepower either.
6. Note that all of the unit 'upgrades' of the 606 SF are offensive in nature; defensively they still have the same amount of health or less!!!
2. When the 606 SF DO get the first strike, the results can range from normal to spectacular- the latter usually if SF Tanks and Snipers are involved. Think whole swathes of infantry dropping dead instantly. Not so spectacular with tanks, but Rangers get the job done by killing Medium Tanks in 4 hits.
4. It is very difficult for the 17th Guards player to retaliate because Rangers and Snipers don't give away their position when they fire. And Drones have such a huge sight range that even a single one on the frontline halfway across the map can cause a viable attack to materialise on the other side in the same turn. Fortunately SF Tanks do give away their position, and their loss is very costly for the 606 SF player.
So how does the 17th Guards player win? Well, by leaving no obvious deficiencies in the front line (bear in mind that with the 606 SF's gold-standard scouting, nearly every deficiency is obvious) that the enemy can flood into, and by making judicious use of armour, which the 606 SF has the greatest difficulty against. I say 'judicious' because the newbie strategy of just going all Medium Tanks and artillery from the beginning is always doomed to fail because of insufficient map coverage and therefore income. The 17th Guards have to find a way to hold on to their income or at least prevent the 606 SF from receiving it, because in an equal income situation they have a solid chance of prevailing if they guess right and launch an attack through a relatively undefended corridor. This, combined with the occasional deployment of AT Teams to kill SF Tanks quickly, and emphasis on scouting and counter-scouting with artillery support, should give them a chance of victory.
Back to the 606 SF- forget the idea of a backbone unit. This is another commander that requires perfect coordination between units to win. A solid group of Rangers and Drone scouts enabling even small numbers of Snipers, SF Tanks and Fire Coordinators to act as major force multipliers- that is the core of the 606 SF strategy.

William Dobson ( – ) était un portraitiste et un des premiers peintres anglais

Biographie
Il est soupçonné d'avoir eu accès à la Collection royale et d'avoir copié des œuvres du Titien et d'Antoine Van Dyck. La couleur et la texture de Dobson ont été influencées par l'art vénitien, mais le style de Van Dyck a eu peu d'influence sur Dobson.

À la mort de Van Dyck en 1641, Dobson a pris le relais pour faire les portraits des principaux acteurs du drame national qui se déroulait à cette époque. Sa courte carrière s'est limitée au début des années 1640, à partir du départ de Londres du roi Charles Ier et de sa cour en , et le retour dans la capitale des loyalistes après leur défaite pendant l'été 1646. Tous ses clients furent impliqués dans la fièvre de guerre et les espoirs initiaux de Nottingham en 1642, et furent affectés par les longues défaites qui aboutirent à la bataille de Naseby en 1645. Il a réalisé beaucoup de portraits d'hommes, portant armure et ceintures d'officiers et leurs expressions témoignent des émotions qui s'exprimèrent dans les deux parties du conflit.

Il a probablement succédé à Van Dyck en tant que sergent-peintre du roi, mais les preuves manquent.

En raison de ses allégeances politiques, il fut rejeté de sa fonction de régisseur de la Compagnie des Peintres.

Après avoir réalisé le portrait d'Endymion Porter, il fut contraint de s'exiler en France.

Il est mort prématurément dans la pauvreté, dans une mansarde du nouveau quartier des artistes de la rue Saint-Martin près de Westminster

However, the building has not been updated since it opened in 1967, so the board of trustees have launched a 50th Anniversary Appeal and hope to reach the target by the end of 2017.
Through the appeal, the trustees are counting on the generosity of local residents and businesses to help meet the target by asking them to register as a friend of the charity, make a donation or organise fundraising events.
Trustee Josie Reed said: "It hasn't had much money spent on it in the last 50 years and it's looking quite tired.
"It can get quite cold in the winter, so we want to add insulation and double-glaze the windows. I'm confident we can hit our target.
The centre, run by Age Concern Newbury and District, which receives no public funding, employs two full-time members of staff, but mainly relies on the work of volunteers.
It provides up to 100 meals a day, half of which are delivered to housebound users through its meals on wheels service, and also offers activities such as chair exercises and arts and crafts from its base at Fair Close.
The centre relies on fundraising events throughout the year to meet its £20,000 running costs, which will need to be met, on top of the £50,000 refurbishment.
"We're confident we can reach the target," said Mrs Reed.
"The work will make it a bit more user-friendly and more versatile, which will give us more options going forward.

Eliminate hepatitis C Appeal
We are closer than ever to developing an urgently needed hepatitis C vaccine. But in order to get there we need your help.
Donate now to our Eliminate Hep C Appeal
Professor Heidi Drummer and her team are closer than ever to developing what has the potential to be one of the most significant scientific discoveries in recent years – a vaccine for hepatitis C.
Heidi has been researching hepatitis C and the possibilities of a vaccine for nearly 20 years.
"I'm driven by the fact that people are dying. 71 million people have the infection. That's around three per cent of the world's population. And 400,000 die every year. It's very disturbing," she says.
"Hepatitis C itself has a great ability to change its structure and evade the immune response. Additionally, hepatitis C is classed into eight different genotypes and over 67 different sub-types, which means we need a vaccine that will protect against all circulating strains.
"All of this makes developing a vaccine extremely challenging. But it's a challenge that inspires me. It drives me and my team on. And we're getting closer to a real solution. I firmly believe we're at a point where we can develop a vaccine and really stop hepatitis C."
Your donation today towards our Eliminate Hepatitis C Appeal will help Heidi and her team progress in their research to develop a vaccine and STOP hepatitis C.
"If we at Burnet are to develop a vaccine for hepatitis C, then Heidi and her team will be there at the forefront."

Writers want a story that is unlike any other. Brainstorming your scenes is a creative way to capture the essence of your story. The ideas go straight from your head into story scenes. Use old-fashioned 3x5 cards, tools like Scrivener, or just list them out in a document. Keep adding scenes until you have all the scenes of your story.
You can move them around as you add scenes, but don't focus on this too much. The concept is to write down as many scenes as you can that will be part of your story.
The key to this process is that it is a brainstorming exercise. No judgment. If a scene comes to mind, add it to the list. You'll organize them later.
After you have written your scenes, it's time to structure your story. It doesn't matter if you use The Hero's Journey, Save The Cat beats, or any one of a number of story structure devices. Different structures work best for different writers.
Get your basic plot points. Here is novelist Kristen Kieffer's basic list.
• Exposition. The necessary character, setting, and background details readers need to understand the context of your novel. (Note: exposition is *not* the beginning of a novel, though most often exposition is revealed during the first few chapters in order to set the scene).
• Call-To-Action. The moment when the hero is called to leave the ordinary world to take part in an otherworldly adventure. Usually found in fantasy and science fiction novels.
• Rising Action. The series of events leading up to the climax of the story.
• Crises. Peaks in tension or conflict that occur throughout the rising action of the novel.
• Climax. The most intense crisis found in the narrative, though not necessarily the final crisis.
• Falling Action. The series of events after the climax of the story where questions are answered and any remaining crises occur and are resolved.
• Resolution. The final moments of a novel where any remaining threads of tension are resolved and a new reality is established.
What matters is that you choose your structure so you can start adding scenes.
Now you can place your scenes in story order, according to your chosen plot structure. Use a cork board, software, or a document to order your scenes.
Now it's time to refine your structure. If important scenes are missing you can add them to complete the full cycle of your plot.
Take a look at those scenes that don't fit in the story structure. If you don't find a place for the scenes to move the story forward, it's time to let them go.
With the scenes in line with the structure, it's time to start writing.
The immense benefit of brainstorming the scenes is that you already know what happens. You don't have to stall wondering what comes next. You've already envisioned the scene.
You'll find that you can focus on writing, and that the writing will go swiftly.
The process also eliminates spending hours of writing only to find your story has led to a dead end or you've boxed yourself in. The scene process, saves hours of rewrite time from writing "freeform."
You won't get lost. You can write the scenes in any order as your mood strikes, but in the end you'll complete your story without false starts or material that bogs down the story. Because you write more quickly, you'll save time creating your entire story.
