In his annual shareholders' letter released today, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed, for the first time, the number of Prime members around the world. Amazon Prime began 13 years ago and today counts more than 100 million members.
Prime members pay $99 a year or $12.99 a month for the service and receive many benefits including access to Amazon's Prime Video streaming service and exclusive deals. Analysts have speculated for years as to the numbers of Amazon members but up to now, the company has never disclosed that information.
The letter comes a day after the online retailer announced it will end its Whole Foods reward program and fold it into Prime. In February, Prime's free two-hour delivery was extended to include Whole Foods purchases over $35.
The letter also stated that Amazon Prime had its best year in 2017 shipping over five billion products and signing up more new members than in any other year (4 million in a week in late 2017). In January, Kantar Consulting estimated that 45% of households in the US were Amazon Prime subscribers.
A focus on high standards
Bezos began his letter by discussing customers' "divinely discontent" nature. He praised this quality, stating he loved it, and asked how the company could stay ahead of clients' "ever-rising" expectations.

His answer was through high standards, a topic that was discussed at length in the letter. "Building a culture of high standards is well worth the effort, and there are many benefits," Bezos wrote.
The entrepreneur explained that "high standards are teachable" and can be taught through exposure. "High standards are contagious. Bring a new person onto a high standards team, and they'll quickly adapt. The opposite is also true," Bezos wrote.
Bezos urged his team to be realistic saying that "unrealistic beliefs on scope – often hidden and undiscussed – kill high standards." The entrepreneur instructed his employees "to form and proactively communicate realistic beliefs about how hard something is going to be – something this coach understood well."
Impressive milestones
Bezos also addressed milestones within the last year such as upgrades to Alexa and the addition of new Prime benefits such as two-minute order fulfillment at Instant Pickup sites and free access to Echo game Double Jeopardy. He added that 2017 was the company's best year yet for Amazon devices hardware sales.
The letter marked the 20th anniversary of the company's first shareholder letter and came with an attachment of the retailer's first 1997 letter. Bezos credited these milestones to the company's 560,000 employees and to its "2 million sellers, hundreds of thousands of authors, millions of AWS developers, and hundreds of millions of divinely discontent customers around the world who push to make us better each and every day."
Bezos added that Amazon's "core values and approach remain unchanged" and that retailer continues "to aspire to be Earth's most customer-centric company." Amazon is scheduled to release its quarterly earnings on April 26.

Q: Is it possible to force evaluation of the macro in c?
This is working, but it's kinda heavy-footed solution
#define COUNT_BITS_4b(Val) \
   ((Val) & 0x1) + (((Val) >> 1) & 0x1) + (((Val) >> 2) & 0x1) + (((Val) >> 3) & 0x1)
#define COUNT_BITS_8b(Val) \
   (COUNT_BITS_4b(Val) + COUNT_BITS_4b(Val >> 4))
#define COUNT_BITS_16b(Val) \
   (COUNT_BITS_8b(Val) + COUNT_BITS_8b(Val >> 8))
#define COUNT_BITS_32b(Val) \
   (COUNT_BITS_16b(Val) + COUNT_BITS_16b(Val >> 16))
#define COUNT_BITS_32b(Val) \
   (COUNT_BITS_16b(Val) + COUNT_BITS_16b((Val >> 31) >> 1))
....

I would like to get rid of this part, (replace it with something like this #define ULONG_BIT Eval((COUNT_BITS(ULONG_MAX)))
#if COUNT_BITS_128b(ULONG_MAX) == 32
   #define ULONG_BIT 32
#elif COUNT_BITS_128b(ULONG_MAX) == 33
   #define ULONG_BIT 33
#elif COUNT_BITS_128b(ULONG_MAX) == 34
   #define ULONG_BIT 34
....
#elif COUNT_BITS_128b(ULONG_MAX) == 128
   #define ULONG_BIT 128
#endif

Thx for any answer.

A: If you are really looking for a way that this resolves to a decimal value at preprocessing time something like this could do the trick:
#define NEKO_4294967295 32
... for all the values up to 128 ...
... for all possible variants with U or UL appended ...
#define NEKO_TESTER(VAL) NEKO_ ## VAL
#define ULONG_BITS NEKO_TESTER(ULONG_MAX)

Although technically it is not guaranteed that ULONG_MAX resolves to a simple decimal constant.

When an unspeakable tragedy befalls a family of traveling minstrels, they become stranded and left for dead. Here in the heart of The Black Forest, Peter Piper and his older brother Max encounter ominous forces that will change them both irreparably. Thus begins an epic tale of sibling rivalry, magic, music and revenge that spans medieval times to the present day when their deadly conflict surfaces in the placid calm of modern-day Fabletown.
In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid. He's got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie. He likes to take photos and write haiku poems in his notebook. He dreams of climbing a mountain one day. But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments. The kind of sick some people never get better from.

This book is definitely on my "one-timer" list. A "one-timer" is a good or great book that I will only read once because it is too emotionally draining or intense for me to handle. I admit I don't usually read/listen to these types of stories because of the emotional drain they cause. I know some folks find them very therapeutic or cathartic but that is not me so I had force myself through this one.
That being stated it doesn't mean this book isn't good because it is actually a very well done story with a great buildup of tension and emotion. The relationship between Connor and the Monster didn't seem forced or unrealistic and there was a natural flow to the story. Even though you know the ending is coming, the force of it isn't lessened because of the good job the author did of building the emotional ties to the characters of Connor and his mom.
Jason Isaacs did an absolutely fabulous job with the narration in this book. Then again as far as I am concerned he could read the phone book and I would be happy. It was very interesting though as he voiced each of the characters I created a very vivid image in my head of how each character appeared and that was due to his great ability.
This book was chosen by my book club and I didn't have a clue what it was about. I recently lost a dear friend to cancer after a 4 year battle and am headed down the same path now with another dear friend. I sobbed as I empathized with this young man. I've had the same feelings and felt such guilt. It was healing for me to see that those were normal feelings when watching someone you love so much, fight so hard, all the while praying for a miracle and the happy ending doesn't come. The reader and story line were both amazing! Thanks for helping to heal my heart.
Patrick Ness has written a book that will stay with me for a very long time. The human condition is so well depicted, our vulnerability, our capacity for self-deception, and our lack of seeing beyond the situation directly in front of us. Isaac's narration kept me enthralled, wanting to know what was next, all the while knowing what the final outcome would be.
It is so raw, and real, and beautiful and it will never cease to make my sob like a baby. I can't handle how amazing it is.
I saw the preview of A Monster Calls & it got my interest, so I went to audible to read about the story. It's not just about a boy who deals with death, but the death of a writer with ideas & a writer who takes her ideas & writes a GREAT story. Yes, it is to help teenagers but it can help anyone of all ages. Patrick Ness I think you did a wonderful job bring forth this awesome tale. Looking forward to the movie.
In tears by the end..
I didn't realize what this book was about when I bought it. I'm kind of glad I didn't know or I may not have read it..
The performance was excellent, the topic truly moving.
I know this is classified as young adult but I highly recommend it for everyone!
The story was a bit difficult to bear at times, especially since I lost my husband to cancer almost 10 years ago, but it was an excellent read. The narrator was outstanding.

CW's top 30 British riders of 2009: No. 16
Lionel Birnie December 15, 2009 12:39 am
Cycling Weekly top 30 riders of 2009 logo 2
No. 16 Wendy Houvenaghel
Last year's position: 19th
If there was a surprise result of the year, it was Wendy Houvenaghel's defeat in the final of the individual pursuit at the World Championships in Poland. Houvenaghel qualified with an excellent 3-29, which was faster than her silver medal-winning ride in the final of the Olympic Games pursuit last year.
Come the final, though, Alison Shanks of New Zealand upped her game and Houvenaghel faded to a 3-32, despite a fast start.
However, the Cornish-based Northern Irish rider bounced back to lead the team pursuit trio to a second consecutive world title.
Later in the season, she was in the world record-breaking team pursuit squad as the GB trio lowered the 3,000-metre time to 3-21.875 at the Manchester World Cup. That same weekend, Houvenaghel won the individual pursuit too, and won again in Melbourne the following month.
Add to that a time trial win on the road at the Chrono Champenois in France and a silver medal in the British national time trial championship behind Emma Pooley and it's been a very consistent season.
Now the addition of the women's team pursuit to the Olympic Games programme gives Houvenaghel even more incentive to remain at the top until 2012, when she will be 37 years old.

Solar thin film maker MiaSole is fighting for survival in a solar market that has seen many manufacturers shutter factories over the past year. The startup announced Wednesday that it's raised $55 million to help it enter new markets and boost its sales staff, while it works on lining up more investors and partners in order to truly scale up its operation.
The Silicon Valley startup, backed by big VC firms such as Kleiner Perkins and VantagePoint Venture Partners, has been an interesting company to watch because it's part of a tribe of solar startups that collectively have raised billions of dollars and stumbled along the way to commercialize a type of solar panel technology that uses the combo of materials, copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS), to convert sunlight into electricity.
MiaSole declined to disclose how much venture capital it has raised since its inception in 2001, but published reports put the figure at somewhere between $400 million and $500 million before the latest round. The latest equity round came from primarily existing investors, said CEO John Carrington.
CIGS technology drew a lot of interest a couple years ago when silicon, which is found in most of the solar panels today, was expensive and commanded several hundred dollars per kilogram. CIGS solar panels are also called thin films because they use a thin layer of semiconductors to produce power, which is an approach that should cut material costs. But over production has since depressed the price of silicon price so much that nowadays it's fetching below $30 per kilogram, reported Bloomberg recently. In addition, an oversupply of solar panels over the past year has forced many companies, from startups such as Solyndra to major players such as First Solar (s FSLR), to go bankrupt or shrink their operations significantly.
MiaSole and many fellow startup solar manufactures are trying to scale up production and cut costs during this difficult time. That means some of them need to roll out new and better products sooner than initially planned, or they need more money to build factories at a scale that makes it possible to significantly cut costs. Many investors of these startups have been willing to fork over money in the past year to keep the companies going while they re-worked long-term strategies. Nanosolar announced the arrival of a new CEO and a $20 million round since the start of this year. AQT Solar said it's now working on a different type of thin film technology than CIGS.
MiaSole has run into its fair share of technical development and other difficulties as it evolves from the R&D mode to mass production. It brought in Joseph Laia as its chief executive in 2007 to push its technology development – namely to figure out the right process to make more efficient thin films. It brought in experts from manufacturing giant Intel (s INTC) last year to improve the efficiency of manufacturing operations, such as tweaking equipment maintenance schedules and work shifts (the Intel experts are still around, Carrington said).
The company seemed to have finally nailed the manufacturing part of its operation, and it brought in Carrington, who was in charge of sales and marketing at First Solar, last November to go out and fight for customers' attention. MiaSole is now making solar panels at an average efficiency of 14 percent, which is higher than what its rivals such as Nanosolar, Stion, HelioVolt and Solar Frontier, which stands out as the largest CIGS solar manufacture thanks to its new 900 MW factory.
MiaSole expects the average efficiency of its panels to hit 15 percent later this year, and at 14-15 percent, the startup's solar panels are entering the efficiency territories of silicon solar panels out there. That means if it can sell its panels for less, than it'll be a break out player. Prices for silicon solar panels have fallen to around $1 per watt over the past 12 months, though that price point has come largely because of the oversupply problem and is causing solar manufacturers to lose money. MiaSole's production cost should hit $0.80 per watt sometime this year, Carrington said.
The startup has been making solar panels by sandwiching CIGS thin films between glass, which protects CIGS from moisture and other environmental damage. This type of design is common in solar panels you see on rooftops today. MiaSole plans to start shipping thin films using other flexible materials for protecting the CIGS layer. These flexible thin films will be especially attractive for rooftops that can't bear a lot of weight, and the company wants to sell the thin films to roofing companies.
What could stop MiaSole from growing as quickly as it wants is if it isn't able to line up more investors or partners who not only can provide money but who have the deep sales and marketing experience to help MiaSole broaden its market reach. Carrington made a public appeal for these partners last December. The startup has 150 MW of annual production capacity (over 55 MW of MiaSole panels have been installed worldwide), and it won't be able to grow much beyond that if it doesn't find the right dance partner.

History of Class Actions
The Master Tobacco Settlement
Billons to the States in Perpetuity Recent Individual Lawsuits Continue to This Day
By Simpluris Research Team - April 6, 2019 at 9:21 PM
In January 2019, a Florida jury deliberated just 90 minutes after a three-week trial. Verdict: Tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds not liable for the long-term smoker's death. But Bloomberg reports that the Florida courts, a final bastion for these cases, still has 3,000 to 4,000 individual smoker cases against tobacco companies still pending. Also, in January 2019 a trial court restored a previously vacated $20 million tobacco smoker's award.
Tobacco and class actions have a long history. So let's get started!
Tobacco – a Very Short History
Before the Age of Exploration, tobacco was unknown to the Old World. Of the four major agricultural commodities brought from the New World to the Old --- potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and tobacco, the latter has always caused the largest legal stir. (But, imagine Irish folklore without potatoes and Italian food without tomatoes).
In 1572, Nicolas Monardes, a highly regarded Spanish doctor and botanist, wrote a treatise on medicinal plants in the New World, including tobacco, professing it could cure 36 health problems --- including cancer. In 1578, Sir Walter Raleigh brought the first tobacco from Virginia to England. Thereafter, his countrymen also touted the health benefits of smoking tobacco. (No record exists that the tobacco industry was behind these claims.)
In 1604, King James the VI wrote his own treatise, A Counterblast to Tobacco. (Sounds like a new age internet title.) The concluding sentence catches the flavor of his views and exhibits a prescient knowledge of future ramifications.
A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the Nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.
King James raised tobacco taxes and tariffs attempting to stem the plant's popularity tide. However, over time, the financial gains to crown and businesses altered a royal opinion. Indeed, America was born and initially sustained from tobacco sales revenue. It was 'the' business.
Adolf Hitler was a chain smoker until he quit in the mid-1920s, reversed gears and became an anti-smoking crusader. After becoming German Chancellor, he instituted the first modern anti-smoking campaign, increasing taxes, banning its use in certain public places and even funding public health research regarding the adverse effects of smoking. Who woulda thought???
In 1964 the U.S. Surgeon General issued its historic groundbreaking Report on Smoking and Health that cigarettes cause cancer and other diseases. Between 1976 and 1993, six studies concluded that smoking accounted for six to eight percent of healthcare costs in America, more than $50 billion in 1993, amounting to one-quarter of state Medicaid costs.
The Master Tobacco Settlement - 1998
From the 1950s to 1994, over 800 lawsuits were prosecuted against tobacco companies for fraud, violation of consumer protection statutes, negligent manufacture, and advertising. Only two succeeded through trial; both reversed on appeal. The industry generally argued that tobacco was not harmful, the cancer was caused by other factors, and the smokers assumed the risk. Then, industry documents starting leaking, demonstrating that companies had knowledge that tobacco was additively piercing the previous surefire defenses.
In 1994 the Mississippi Attorney General started a cavalcade of 46 state attorney generals, five U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia bringing similar lawsuits on the premise that the tobacco industry has caused a major health crisis and should pay for it, essentially seeking reimbursement for state Medicaid expenditures. These lawsuits were on behalf of the states the attorney generals represented, not the citizenry per se, and thus --- not a class action.
In 1998, the state attorney generals settled with the country's five largest cigarette manufacturers, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, Lorillard Tobacco Company, Philip Morris Incorporated, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Commonwealth Tobacco, and Liggett & Myers. The industry agreed to pay the settling states and governmental entities billions of dollars forever based upon sales volume, along with imposing restrictions on the sale and marketing of cigarettes. The tobacco industry was freed, eternally, from facing class-action lawsuits in those the plaintiff state's courts or by their governmental entities.
The yearly payments are based on a formula of annual cigarette sales with the base amount increasing gradually from 2000 to 2018. The 2018 payment of $9 billion continues in perpetuity. To date, the industry has paid the states $146 billion.
The agreement addressed cigarette advertising, including direct and indirect targeting of youth, and prevents the use of cartoon characters in any promotional materials. Billboards, transit ads and other outdoor advertising not close to retail stores selling tobacco are also prohibited, along with product placement in entertainment media. No longer can the industry provide free samples anywhere. This activity is now restricted to adult-only facilities. Branded merchandise and sponsorships are also severely limited.
As the industry hid important scientific information from the public for so long, the agreement also calls for restrictions on lobbying regarding different categories of tobacco control legislation and administrative rules, to not suppress their health-related research, and to not make material misrepresentations regarding the health consequences of using tobacco. The MSA also disbands and prevents the creation of any new tobacco industry 'research' organizations, such as the now-defunct The Tobacco Institute. It also created a counter organization, the 'Truth Initiative,' focusing on encourage teens not to start smoking, and encouraging everyone to quit.
As stated above, leaked documents of the tobacco industry's long-held knowledge of the adverse effects of smoking were the catalyst for the MSA. Thus, part of the settlement requires the participating manufacturers to place all non-privileged documents produced in discovery regarding smoking and its health effects online.
The MTS Is Not a Class Action
As the MTS and attendant litigation was not a class action, why is it being discussed amongst these class action administrator pages and law review articles? Part of the reason is that tobacco litigation had many similar characteristics of class actions, the enormity for one, the combined injunctive, and extended payout period. But all willing plaintiffs total a readily identifiable 50 (states) plus some territories. An, unlike class actions, these 'individual' actions did not require court review of the settlement agreement. (We at Simpluris inherently view class actions superior to most other forms of court proceedings.)
The MTS stated primary purpose is to promote public health and decrease youth smoking. According to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids through 2017, the tobacco industry has paid $146 billion dollars pursuant to the settlement. Yes, billion. ($7.3 billion was paid in 2017). The settlement leaves it up to the states to decide how to spend the funds. Only a few states place more than a marginal amount of these funds for the stated primary purpose. For instance, only a paltry $720 million of those funds were designated for state tobacco prevention programs. The Center for Disease Control has recommendations on how much should be spent on these programs. 40 of the 46 states and the District of Columbia spend less than 50 percent of those thresholds.
Paradoxical uses of the proceeds have included North Carolina allocating 75 percent of its settlement funds to aid tobacco production and marketing, including curing equipment, a tobacco auction hall, and media presentations at a tobacco museum. South Carolina provided 15 percent of its settlement funds to tobacco farmers for price supports based on failing demand for the product.
Commentators routinely question whether the public is truly benefiting from this settlement. This agreement was not a class action to protect consumers but is always discussed as if it is part of the class action club. Indeed, state court tobacco consumer class actions are now specifically prohibited by the agreement (individual state court or federal class actions are not affected by the settlement).
Class actions require court approval to ensure that class members are properly compensated and protected. However, this state attorney general/industry settlement did not require any court sanction. It is doubtful that a class action court would have permitted these funds to find their way in back into the pockets of the tobacco industry, or such small amounts would be allocated to smoking prevention and education.
The other side of that argument is that the states spent money on health care because of cigarette smoking, and money is money. If it were devoted for a particular purpose, such as health care, the states could easily just readjust their budgets to allocate those non-MTS funds from health care to other budgetary items. However, the settlement is instructive to the legal practitioner seeking ideas to structure class action settlements and effectuate sought-after policy changes.
Experts contend over 440,000 Americans die annually due to tobacco use. Almost 78,000 deaths are estimated in Great Britain. Both countries are seeing a small, gradual decline in cigarette usage and associated death rates. The American tobacco industry boasts of close to $50 billion a year in profits.
King James would not be happy.

I found my first camera at a garage sale when I was about 15, an old Pentax. Fortunately our Jr. High school Had a photography course and a state of the art darkroom where I learned to develop and print my black and white stills. Video came a few years later. The knowledge gained here on composition, balance, and framing was invaluable. I started filming my travels and making Documentary style travel videos for my family and friends and after years of hearing " Wow! That's a great video!" I formed my company A Great Video, built a website, www.agreatvideo.com and began taking on outside projects.I cater to those needing Youtube and Kickstarter videos but am always looking for that next documentary.

Our ability to understand others and help others understand us is essential to our individual and collective well-being. Yet there are many barriers that keep us from walking in the shoes of others: fear, skepticism, and power structures that separate us from those outside our narrow groups. To progress in a multicultural world and ensure our common good, we need to overcome these obstacles. Our best hope can be found in the skill of empathy.
In Social Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal explains how we can develop our ability to understand one another and have compassion toward different social groups. When we are socially empathic, we not only imagine what it is like to be another person, but we consider their social, economic, and political circumstances and what shaped them. Segal explains the evolutionary and learned components of interpersonal and social empathy, including neurobiological factors and the role of social structures. Ultimately, empathy is not only a part of interpersonal relations: it is fundamental to interactions between different social groups and can be a way to bridge diverse people and communities. A clear and useful explanation of an often misunderstood concept, Social Empathy brings together sociology, psychology, social work, and cognitive neuroscience to illustrate how to become better advocates for justice.
Elizabeth A. Segal is a professor in the School of Social Work at Arizona State University. She is the author of Social Welfare Policy and Social Programs: A Values Perspective, fourth edition (2016) and coauthor of Assessing Empathy (Columbia, 2017).

It all makes for a one-of-a-kind set.

Rhonda and Lauren created an atmosphere that expressed their undeniable love for each other through their magical decorations.
Waking into the brides' reception area was like falling down the rabbit hole and stepping right into a chapter of Lewis Carroll's book. The Wonderland décor boasted thick greenery and gorgeous floral accents. Tea sets, jewels, and story books graced the tables, while the pastel color scheme completed the scene of this elegant tea party. There were even tiny potions and keys for the guests to take as keepsakes. (These are some of the cutest wedding favors we ever seen!) We could go on and on about the details Rhonda and Lauren put into their wedding day.
The brides had an outdoor ceremony surrounded by vine covered walls, much like a maze you'd find in Wonderland! The scene could not have been more perfect for the two to exchange vows and say "I do." The ceremony was followed by a gorgeous photo session at sunset, elegant dinner, and a reception full of dancing and laughter with family and friends.
We ended the night where Rhonda and Lauren's love story began, a local bar downtown where the two met. It was fun to bring their story full circle by capturing one last photo of the two under the neon lights of the signage. We loved getting to know and Rhonda and Lauren. We wish them all the happiness in their next adventure!
We hope you enjoy stepping into their whimsical wonderland with us!

A: The apacite package implements a proper APA style bibliography which requires full citations on first mention for author lists up to 7 authors. Since you are loading the package with the [natbibapa] option, you can specify in the preamble a list of bib keys that you want to appear as "short citations". So schematically you can do the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Chandra:81,
    author = {Ashok K. Chandra and Dexter C. Kozen and Larry J. Stockmeyer},
    year = "1981",
    title = {Alternation},
    journal = {Journal of the Association for Computing Machinery},
    volume = "28",
    number = "1",
    pages = "114--133"
}

@article{rao:2014,
    title={Causes of Sudden Cardiac Death on Autopsy Findings; a Four-Year Report},
    author={Rao, Dinesh and Sood, Divya and Pathak, P. and Dongre, Sudhir, D},
    journal={Journal  of Emergency-An Academic Emergency Medicine},
    volume={2},
    number={1},
    pages={12-17},
    year={2014}

\end{filecontents*}
\shortcites{rao:2014} % list all the entries you want to have short cites
\begin{document}
\citet{Chandra:81} will show up long on first mention and short in subsequent mention: \citet{Chandra:81} but \citet{rao:2014} will show up short even on first mention because it was listed in the \verb|\shortcites| command.

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

A: Because you've loaded the apacite citation management package, you're getting exactly the behavior it's been programmed to do: It generates a citation call-out with a list of all authors (up to 7, that is) the first time a given entry is cited, and it truncates the list (to first-author et al) from the second time on.
If you do not want this behavior, don't load the apacite package. Instead -- especially in view of the fact that you seem to like the plainnat bibliography style -- you should be loading the natbib package. And, of course, you absolutely must purge the surplus commas from the entry's author field.

\RequirePackage{filecontents}

The ice sculptures have melted, the Winter Olympic DVR files have been deleted, and I'm just about finished with all the Guinness I bought on sale around St. Patrick's Day, so it's time for the 22nd Annual Summer Movie Pool!
We've got just this week to get our picks in, so don't delay and tell me which films we're going to be Summer Lovin' down in the sand and which are Summer Dreams ripped at the seams.
Can the Avengers resume their top spot of the summer or will Jurassic World drink their milkshake again? Can Incredibles 2 follow in Finding Dory's wake and be the top grossing movie? Can Deadpool 2's cast list of C-level superheros compete with Star Wars legends Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian?
Make your predictions, cast your votes, and take a dip in the 2018 Summer Movie Pool! It's the pool where all you have to do is guess the Top Five domestic money makers of the season. It's not like we're asking you to do something hard like explain why I can name every Michael Jackson song within three seconds and still can't tell which Drake song it is even after it's over.
In case you don't know what's coming out for the summer season of 2018, here's a quick run-down of this year's crop!
I think I'd hit 10,000 words in this preview before I even typed each actor and character name in this film. They probably had to cut it into two films simply because there wasn't time for everyone involved to have a single line in one movie! Disney's brilliant masterstroke to move this film another week away from Deadpool 2 is what's caused this Summer Movie Pool to start for the first time in April ever. I'm going to be the one waging an Infinity War if they make me do my Pool a week early next year too!
There are only a few things my wife holds as sacred: The Carpenters Christmas Album, the Navajo sandwich at Cheesecake Factory that is no longer available (and besides being on fry bread probably had nothing to do with Native Americans), and the original movie of Overboard. From now on whenever she sees the title "Overboard" on the DirecTV guide, she's going to mutter, "Is it the real one or that crappy new version", and get all pissy even though I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just sitting next to her. This is now the rest of my life. Thanks, MGM, I really needed this remake.
So, Gabrielle Union's plays a woman locked out of her dad's house where thieves are holding her kids hostage and trying to find his secret loot. Seriously, like she'd ever have to break-in to a house. Knock knock… Gabrielle Union?! OMG!!! Please come in and never leave… ever!
Melissa McCarthy has taken to recycling plots from 80's Rodney Dangerfield movies. Melissa goes back to school at the same college her daughter is attending, because, you know, she obviously wants to ruin whatever relationship she did have with her. I don't think Dear Abby would've ever advised this.
The Merc with a Mouth gets a sequel with a… south? The follow-up to the most successful R-Rated superhero film of all-time gets to spread its legs in the summer sun and can probably even spread eagle as it's Rated R. Will lightning strike twice? Will expectations be too high? Maybe "too high" is just what the filmmakers are counting on in the audience.
Remember all those stories of older women devouring the 50 Shades of Grey books and getting in touch with their… Nah, I don't even want to know. That's where I stopped reading. However, now we have the film version of that phenomena with Hollywood legends Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen as the older women who let their freak flag fly once Christian Grey made his way into their lives. I'm glad Miss Marple never lived to see this.
Look, I'm not even a hater, but I'm feeling a little Star Wars-ed out. Couldn't this flick have just waited till December and come out at the annual time we expect our Star Wars films now? Ron Howard was brought-in to complete this film and get it ready to share with the world, because anytime you can get a guy who hasn't had a hit movie since 2009's Angels and Demons, you just have to say "Yes!" Besides, Han Solo's past as always been just whittled down to making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. Not a lot of ground to cover here.
If Hollywood is taking the weekend off by only offering a Johnny Knoxville movie and some couple in a Lost at Sea type movie, then I can take this weekend off too.
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Anne Hathaway are only three of the eight super woman rebooting the Ocean's 11 franchise. As long as no one attempts Don Cheadle's ill-advised cockney accent, we should be good.
It's like the weekend for cast lists. Here Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, and Jeff Goldblum star in this movie about a secret hospital for criminals. Is it a secret because the prisoners don't know they're getting cured or people don't want their tax dollars going to that?
Pixar went back-to-back amazing with Finding Nemo in 2003 and The Incredibles in 2004. Finding Dory did fantastic as the #1 summer movie of 2016, even if the actual film left me not needing to find Dory again for quite awhile. Can Incredibles 2 pack-in the same nostalgic power as Nemo's lucky fin or will they forget Edna Mode's most important rule and wear capes?
Based on an actual story of a group of friends that have played the same game of tag for over 30 years, Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Isla Fisher, and Jon Hamm prepare themselves to run ragged in this not coming-of-age comedy. I'm in. Can someone just tag me? I want to be it!
Chris Pratt + Legos = Hit. Chris Pratt + Aliens = Hit. Chris Pratt + Dinosaurs = Hit. What's the common "dino"minator? The first Jurassic World Indominus Rexed all over Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. Can Fallen World make the Infinity War finite? I couldn't be more scared trying to pick which of these films is going to do better in 2018 if Pennywise was crawling out of my laptop right now... We all sink down here.
Take the NBA on TNT folks and Kyrie Irving, dress them up in geriatric make-up, and have them take unsuspecting young ballers to school on the courts of New York? Yes, yes, yes, and yes! It's like Space Jam without the cartoon world and Wayne Knight… or maybe he counts as part of the cartoon world?
Anytime I see the words "modern-day remake of 1988's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," you're going to get my attention. This film stars Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as, I guess, Michael Caine and Steve Martin. It's totally fine turning Prince Ruprecht into a princess, but there better be still be a cork on a fork or someone's going to be losing an eye.
The First Purge is the fourth Purge, yet it is the first Purge to open on the 4th. Even though this is a prequel to the other Purges, should newbies start with this film or start with the actual first Purge which is not The First Purge? I think I'll purge that question from my brain, but I guess I have to wait for the 12-hour span that I only get to have once a year to do that.
It's our third Marvel movie within five months! Granted, it's a smaller one based on the the diminutive sizes of the heroes involved. Ant-Man may have been short-changed for possibly those same reasons in 2015, yet it's proven to be one of the more re-watchable movies in the franchise. No matter how long it takes to realise something's good, Baskin Robbins always finds out.
To ask why is this originally Halloween-based Adam Sandler series showing up in the summer season is skipping the bigger question: Why is this a series?! Oddly enough, when it started in 2012 Selena Gomez seemed like just a pop flavor of the day. In 2018, now she seems to be the only relevant celebrity in this movie. Is it too soon to say it's the 20th Anniversary of The Wedding Singer? Yeah, it's too soon.
In the last few years The Rock has battled an earthquake, mutant animals, the perils of Jumanji, John Cena, the cast of The Fast & The Furious that doesn't have other movies to shoot, and Vin Diesel's impression of acting. His latest challenge is saving his family from bad guys in the tallest building in the world… with only one leg! Why do we even have Oscar nominations anymore… just give them all to Dwayne Johnson!
Any guesses for Denzel Washington's second biggest box-office hit after American Gangster? That's right, Safe House in 2012 with Ryan Reynolds during his "How do I get the stink of Green Lantern off of me" stage. Case in point, I had no idea The Equalizer was Denzel's 4th biggest box-office hit (at $101 million gross). It seemed like one of so many "Yup, that was OK but don't need to see it again" movies. They must've realized that too since instead of asking us to see it again, they just made another movie that we only have to see once.
The impossible mission is going to be not staring at Henry Cavill's moustache that he wasn't able to shave-off for Justice League reshoots because he was in the middle of making this movie. That stache must be incredible for Warner Bros. to have botched trying to CGI-it out of their picture so that no one would notice (and yet everyone ended-up doing exactly that). Other than that, it seems to be rinse, wash, repeat with this series that's rebooted in a big way since M:I - Ghost Protocol.
You can always tell when there's no clear-cut favorite to win a weekend in the summer when there's multiple big-studio releases all coming out. This one is based on a Young Adult sci-fi book series. As you know, unless that series is called The Hunger Games, it doesn't usually work out well.
This, uh, is a live action/CGI movie with Ewan McGregor as a grown-up Christopher Robin who needs some magic from his cuddly little bear all stuffed with honey to rekindle his youthful spirit. Is this like the Winnie-The-Pooh version of Hook?
No, not the much delayed sequel to 8 Mile. Here, Mark Wahlberg is an intelligence officer smuggling a high value target out of the country. Wait, is this based on how NBC made Matt Lauer disappear?
Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon find out their ex-boyfriends were spies and now the assassin after the spies has the women in his sights. It could be this summer's Spy or this summer's My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
You can tell we've reached August when films like The Meg start to show-up. Yes, the tale of a 75-foot long prehistoric shark feels connected to both 1999's Deep Blue Sea where the sharks had brains and 2006's Snakes on a Plane where the snakes had Samuel L. Jackson. This one settles for sheer mass and Clive Owen.
Ok, so there's no way any movies from this or the weekends afterwards have time to make enough money to land on the Top Five, but this flick stars Melissa McCarthy and Elizabeth Banks as a human cop and puppet detective trying to catch a killer murdering-off the cast of an 80's children's show! When else am I possibly going to put all of those words together in the same sentence? And it's directed by Brian Henson, son of famous muppet-teer, Jim Henson… and Brian married Mia Sara of Ferris Bueller fame in 2010… and she was married to Sean Connery's son Jason before that... and this is why I'm not allowed on the internet. I start clicking and then I never get anything done.


Watertown-based WiTricity, which makes wireless battery charging systems for electric cars, is acquiring the wireless charging technology of San Diego's Qualcomm. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
WiTricity, a spinoff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, makes a system that lets a driver park an electric vehicle on top of a pad which radiates a magnetic field capable of charging the car's battery, without the need to plug a cable into a charger. Qualcomm, best known as a leading maker of chips for cellphones, developed a smilar system called Halo.
WiTricity chief executive Alex Gruzen said the competition between the two companies led carmakers to hold back on electric car development until an industry-wide standard emerged.
But now Qualcomm has agreed to sell its Halo assets to WiTricity, and will become a minority shareholder in WiTricity. The deal will give WiTricity control of more than 1,500 patents and patent applications related to wireless battery charging. This will make WiTricity the de facto industry standard, according to Gruzen. "There's virtually no way to wirelessly charge an electric vehicle without using our technology," he said.


Luis Ko 寫: it's better yoyos raise the idea themselves to have a dinner or what after meetings, i think. so far i have had two dinners with other yoyos this year. if it's not because i'm a bit too lazy and short of money recently, i would definitely do that haa.
as to the outing Rock trying to hold to Hooters, i'm really interested and will go if i can make it to the gathering this wednesday.
1. If you are short of money, you can sell your black BMW, or you can even rent it to me! I've never driven a BMW in my life .
2. Hey, who says that I'm going to the Hooters this Wednesday?
3. Luis, long time no see.
4. Who won the championship of that cup?
Poor Rock. My sister's got the same problems, too. Looks like a lot of teachers cannot get along well with their principal.
Why did you lose a tooth? Did you get a blow?
It is easier to take birthday away from an adult than from a child.
Because, grown-up had seen enough, and are more battle-hardened.
Needless to say that "battle-hardened" has certain tendency of being over-rated.
If you think about, a birthday celebration often makes an adult feel like a kid again.
Which may not be a bad thing.
A simple birthday recognition can be soothingly therapeutic in more ways than one.
Attitude towards birthdays ranges from not celebrating to inviting everybody you barely know.
Just because some people likes to give a big birthday party, that doesn't mean that he or she is an attention-whore.
By the way, AFAIK, there is no prize for having learned how not to celebrate your own birthday.
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
Just saying "It's too late for me"
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry?
I am not abandoning Yoyo, I am just dancing slowly away from it.

Billie Eilish honours women in music industry
MUMBAI: Singer Billie Eilish honoured her female peers in the music industry as she accepted her Billboard 2019 Woman of the Year prize.
Eilish on Thursday night honoured the women in the music industry, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The 17-year-old singer was introduced to the stage by Cyndi Lauper, who gushed: "When I first heard Billie sing, I kinda stopped breathing for a sec. It was so emotional and so deep - it stopped me. Even when you had that black s**t coming down your face."
The veteran went on to call the "Bad Guy" hitmaker "magical", and told her she's just at "the beginning (of) a long journey", as the humbled teenager stepped up to the microphone to applause from the crowd.
Following a brief video highlighting the superstar's many accomplishments, which she joked was "so embarrassing", the singer reflected on the weight of her new title at such a young age.
She said: "It's really weird to be woman of the year at 17. Ariana Grande got the award that I'm getting right now a year ago, and two weeks ago I realised that's the award I'm getting - and that really freaked me out."
Wrapping her speech, she took the time to thank those in the music industry who guided her and showed her support, telling the women in the crowd: "You took care of me."

Q: jquery ellipsis doesn't show dots at the end Jquery Ellipsis doesn't show three dots at the end.
HTML:

SIA "Baltic Metolat" provides mechanical surface treatment, priming and painting of technical task. We are able to handle oversized items.

JQuery:
jQuery('.three_lines').ellipsis({
    row: 3
});

CSS:
.slidertext {
    margin-left: 1px;
    margin-top: 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 20px;
    height: 58px;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    width: 224px;
}

It shows only three lines, but it doesn't show dots at the end.
Live it could be seen here: http://www.metolat.lv/ (search fo text "provides mechanical surface").

A: That live example doesn't look like the text is getting shortened at all. It shows 3 lines because the fourth line is hidden due to a fixed height and hidden overflow of its container.
It looks like that Ellipsis plugin calculates whether a text element needs to be truncated by comparing its total height to the height of n (here, 3) lines.  Since you have a fixed height set in CSS for that div, the plugin looks at it and says to itself "that element has a height less than or equal to the height of 3 lines of text" and so it doesn't do anything.
You are calling it correctly, though, and I see that it works on your title "Metal construction..."

Without doubt, audio and video are pleasures of the senses. They must be heard and seen to be believed. You wouldn't buy a fancy mattress without first laying down on the thing, right?

With this in mind, House of Music invites you to our new cutting-edge audio showroom in San Francisco's bustling South of Market neighborhood. You'll find plenty of eye-candy on display−from gorgeous free-standing loudspeakers, to hand- crafted, mahogany headphones, amplifiers, turntables and receivers so stunning you'd never dream of hiding them away in a stereo cabinet. But wait till you experience these top-of-line components in action.
Because sound and image is subjective, House of Music offers four listening rooms, where you can test the options and find the right components for you. It's a big decision to revamp your home audio, or to invest in a high-end home theater system. Even the purchase of a single set of stereo speakers can mean the difference between listening to some easy tunes at home and experiencing the kind of musical magic that truly transports you.
Our state-of-the-art showroom offers FREE PARKING and is located at 410 Harriet Street, San Francisco.

Well, not everything (let's not be dramatic about it). But still, quite a lot.
With blogging, gone were the days of having to hire a web designer to put pages up for you.
Here was the time of saying exactly what you wanted, when you wanted. No waiting. No censorship. Nobody standing in your way.
Providing the dial-up worked. Let us not get bogged-down with that, though.
Overnight, almost, a revolution was born, and somewhere along the way it became abundantly clear: blogs were a fantastic way for business owners to communicate with their target audience.
Over the last few years, I've blogged about almost everything you can think of, so if you're looking to start a new blog, or get an old blog going, I'm sure I can help. Generally speaking I sell blogs to clients, but over the years I have also maintained and designed blogs, built up readerships and ensured the correct tags were in place to generate traffic. I've run my own blog for years and I can tell you, blogging can be fun. And people love reading it.
I have a very obvious solution: allow me to sort it for you. All my writing work is scheduled-in. When I'm in charge, your blog is going to thrive. This means that when you hire me, blogs are delivered (or updated using Wordpress, for example) on-time, whenever you require them. With blogging, as with many things, consistency is vital. Readers get attached to blogs, and giving them content at a specific time every week or month means that they'll associate good writing with the services or products that you sell. Ace!
Some people like to talk to me over the phone, telling me about what they and their company have been up to, which I then build a blog post from. Others prefer to leave me to blog about trends in the industry, news or other things which their readership want to know about. In either case, leave me to do the writing and we'll get a blog going that'll connect directly with your audience. Although the effect of blogging varies and can sometimes be hard to quantify, over time, they're proven to build trust and peace-of-mind between business and consumer.

Bruce Jenner: Becomes a woman at age 65 and gets more hair
June 2, 2015 admin 2 Comments
Yesterday's biggest news story in the US per Google Trends was about Bruce Jenner's heavily photoshopped but still stunning transformation on the cover photo of the latest Vanity Fair magazine. He also officially announced his new female name of Caitlyn Jenner. The video clip further below has more images.
For those who do not know, Bruce Jenner was an Olympic gold medalist American athletic legend in the 1970s and appeared on the front of Wheaties cereal boxes: an honor that is only given to the best of the best athletes in the US. Bruce epitomized the American macho male. His transition into female Caitlyn at the very late age of 65 has shocked a lot of middle aged and older males who were his fans, and I talked to one at a bar yesterday who was quite depressed about it! I on the other hand am always happy to see a male-to-female (MTF) transsexual so that I can examine whats going on with her hair. More of my thoughts follow the video.
I have covered MTF transsexuals on this blog before (e.g., see Danielle Hallett and transgender couple) for one specific reason: my interest in what happens to their scalp hair once they get on antiandrogens and female hormones such as estrogen, and especially if they also have MTF surgery where the testicles are removed. Such surgery guarantees that further balding will cease (or never start if it hasn't already). However, there is no guarantee that such drastic surgery will regrow hair on totally bald scalp, although estrogen supplementation after castration can regrow a lot of hair it seems. This would imply that hair is never permanently gone, as has been postulated in various recent studies (hair is still there, but progenitor cells are gone).
Bruce Jenner's scalp hair does seem to have become better since he commenced his transition to Caitlyn. However, he was never balding significantly and the closest photo I found of him with some very mild frontal hair loss is here. So its hard to tell how much hormone therapy has helped his hair and whether he actually grew new hair, or whether his existing hair became thicker and fuller. One of the articles I read yesterday mentioned that Bruce Jennner had some kind of hair related surgery as part of his transition. His main transition surgery went on for 10 hours. It does not seem like the now Caitlyn Jenner has had genital surgery yet, so she is still producing significant male hormones.
In future, if I cover a transsexual story, I hope to only focus on ones where the former male was significantly bald and gained hair after becoming female. However, this story was so huge that I could not ignore it. Besides representing yet another milestone in the transgender world, it represents even more of a drastic shift to the left in American culture, which much of the rest of the world often ends up following. If China, Russia and the Islamic world shifted left in a similar manner, I think the world would be much more peaceful. Imagine if Vladimir Putin and the Saudi King were to convert to women! It would definitely lead to much more peace in the world in my opinion.
Caitlyn's new Twitter account got a million followers within a few hours and currently has over two million followers. Even president Obama replied to her Tweet. Really unbelievable how the world has changed culturally and technologically in the past two decades.
It takes courage to share your story. https://t.co/Q7wWjV9Rxx

Film, News
The Rock to star in his own Fast and Furious Spin-off
We didn't see this one coming. The stars of the Fast and Furious franchise are known for being a family on and off-screen, but it looks as if that family has some serious dinner-table discussions to get out the way. Idris Elba is cast as the main villain in this 'Hobbs' spin-off but it looks as if the cast is casting Dwayne in that role, in real life. Check out the unfolding chain of events straight from their instagrams below:
Dwayne Johnson – who plays government agent Luke Hobbs in the series – dropped one hell of a bombshell by implying he had some serious beef with at least one of his male co-stars. And that was just the first of several potential cast fallouts.
But what's going on? Here's a timeline of events so far:
1. Dwayne Johnson vs Vin Diesel
The Rock slams 'candy ass' male co-stars
In a pumped-up post on his social media accounts, Dwayne Johnson unveiled a brief clip from Fast 8, while calling out some "chicken shit" male co-stars, but didn't name names.
He wrote: "There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. Universal Studios Entertainment has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em.
"My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't.
"The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling – you're right.
"Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on FAST 8 and I will finish strong."
Who is he talking about? Is it Vin Diesel?
While Dwayne didn't name anyone in his rant, all eyes turned to the franchise's lead star Vin Diesel.
Several gossip sites including TMZ have claimed that Dwayne's supposed anger was aimed at Vin, allegedly due to his work ethic and showing up late to filming. Though, we're not sure we believe any of that, as Vin is notoriously protective and passionate about the legacy of the franchise.
Obviously take all this with a furious pinch of salt, but the two have apparently held a secret meeting, while the cast and crew have taken sides over the whole affair.
The Rock and Vin's longtime co-star Tyrese responded to the comments on Instagram, but soon deleted his post. But thankfully it was saved by eagle-eyed fans and reposted.
Tyrese said he wasn't aware of any issues between any of his castmates, and that Dwayne is one of the most professional guys he's ever worked with.
He also ruled himself out of the 'candy ass' category by uploading a since-deleted video of Dwayne singing 'Happy Birthday' to his daughter.
"Why are you guys so impressionable? A man wouldn't be singing from his heart and soul to another mans little angel if he had a problem with her dad," he wrote.
He continued: "Does any of us know why bro decided to jump out there with his post? No…Would one assume that IF he's going to jump out there and generalize and say 'Male Co-Stars' he would be more clear and call out names???
"Of course he should of—Let me calm you guys all the way down…I don't know WHO he has a problem and I don't have any details of WHAT those problems are—as a matter of fact if I DID know I would tell you shit!!!!"
"I think Dwayne aka DJ happens to be one of the most humble, down to earth and professional people I've ever worked with and more importantly he's my brother we have NEVER had a problem and will never have a problem…WE are good over here….As a cast we're ALL married dammit!!!"
Vin's response:
Not really, nope. He's posted a couple of videos since Dwayne's rant, but he hasn't directly replied.
"So much has gone in this year," he said in one post.
"I can't believe I wrapped two back to back pictures I both starred in and produced. Now I get to return to my family, my life… To me."
The newest addition to the Fast Family, Scott Eastwood, previously spoke of his surprise that certain co-stars would spend so long in their trailers. With rumours that one of The Rock's gripes with Vin is about his trailer love, could these remarks be telling?
He told Esquire: "I remember something he told me early on. I don't remember how old I was when you told me this, Dad. But you said, 'As an actor, I never went back to my trailer. I always hung out on set and learned'.
"That stuck with me. I'm on this Fast and the Furious movie right now, and everyone goes back to their trailer. I stick around and say, 'Why are you setting up the shot like this?' I want to learn."
Just a day and a half after making his initial comments, Dwayne made a further statement on Instagram, implying that any issues he had were either not that big a deal or had been settled.
"My FINAL WEEK of shooting #FastAndFurious," he said. "There's no greatness ever achieved alone.. it's always a team effort.
"You guys reading this know how much I believe in the idea of TEAM EFFORT. That means respecting every person, their time and their value when they step on to my set or partner with our production company.
"And like with any team – that's a family – there's gonna be conflict. Family is gonna have differences of opinion and fundamental core beliefs."
He added: "To me, conflict can be a good thing, when it's followed by great resolution. I was raised on healthy conflict and welcome it.
"And like any family, we get better from it. At the end of the day me and #F8 co-stars all agree on the most important thing: Delivering an incredible movie to the world."
Tyrese and Ludacris appeared to take Vin's side
While not exactly dissing The Rock in any way, both Tyrese and Ludacris posted to Instagram their support of Vin Diesel.
Ludacris simply posted a nostalgic shot of him with Vin and their F&F co-stars:
Whereas, Tyrese elaborated on his earlier post by supporting his 'brother' Vin
He wrote: "Finished strong and on to the next. That's an officially wrap on #FastAndFurious8. Thank you to our director @fgarygray for the vision and execution.
"Thank you UNIVERSAL for being tremendous partners as always, thank you to all my fellow co-stars for the daily effort and grind. Scott Eastwood you handsome sumbitch! Natalie Emmanuel I have a cold Budweiser ready for you and Tyrese Gibson you still have the biggest smile and forehead I've ever seen.
But then again, he didn't mention Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris or Jason Statham among others – so could we have a Civil War on our hands? Probably not.
Vin finally mentions Dwayne, and was full of praise
After a few semi-cryptic posts, Vin actually named his co-star by name in a Facebook Live video, and was nothing but positive about him.
"The reason we brought Dwayne Johnson into Fast 5 was because of you (the fans)," he said.
"There was a girl named Jan Kelly who said, 'I would love to see you work together on screen.' So the role that was originally written for Tommy Lee Jones, we gave it to Dwayne and he shined in it."
Dwayne and Vin barely share screen time in The Fate of the Furious
Their real-life beef clearly had an impact, as Vin and Dwayne's characters are hardly seen on screen together at the same time.
Hobbs and Dom share a phone call, when Dom crashes into Hobbs you don't actually see them on screen at the same time, and you only see Dom's back when Hobbs joins the gang for dinner at the end of the movie. What gives?
Dwayne announces his Hobbs spin-off, while throwing shade in Vin's general direction
The Hobbs spin-off which may or may not be responsible for Fast and Furious 9's release date delay (it was planned for 2019 but has been pushed back to 2020) is moving forward and Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to announce it. Never missing an opportunity to fan the feud flames, he added the odd dig, saying:
"My vision is to create greater opportunities for not only my fellow FF cast mates, but for other amazing actors as well who want to be a part of something new and cool. I want to use my spinoff platform to create new characters that fans will ultimately love to have fun with in multiple chapters and platforms. Film, TV, Digital, Virtual Reality etc.. the more opportunities we can create the better for the fans. Smart business. Let's have some FUN and to quote, Hobbs the boss, if you don't like it, we're happy to beat that ass like a Cherokee drum."
And signing off with #NewOpportunities #CandyAssesNeedNotApply
Dwayne confirms he didn't shoot with Vin on Fast & Furious 8
Just when you think the drama is over, Dwayne confirmed that he didn't shoot any scenes with Vin on the latest movie, while also throwing some serious shade his way.
"Vin and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer. And what I came to realise is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating. It took me some time, but I'm grateful for that clarity. Whether we work together again or not," he reflected.
With the Hobbs and Shaw spin-off on the way, Johnson is "not quite sure" if he'll be in Fast & Furious 9 as he's currently concentrating on making his movie "as good as it can be".
"But I wish him all the best, and I harbour no ill will there, just because of the clarity we have," he concluded, adding with a laugh: "Actually, you can erase that last part about 'no ill will'. We'll just keep it with the clarity."
2. Vin Diesel vs Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle says female stars deserve better
Franchise veteran Michelle Rodriguez said in July 2017 that she could consider quitting if it does not give its female stars more "love".
Charlize Theron was introduced in the eighth movie as the latest Big Bad, but Jordana Brewster (Mia) was written out following Paul Walker's tragic death and Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey) was largely sidelined and didn't get an awful lot to do.
Elsa Pataky's character Elena Neves only existed to service Dom's storyline (and was then killed off), while Dame Helen Mirren had a cameo as Deckard and Owen Shaw's mother.
Rodriguez called for the franchise to do better by its female characters in the ninth movie, posting her message on Instagram
Vin Diesel later showed his support, posting on Instagram that he was "proud" of the franchise's saga, but added: "We must try to reach higher each time. The challenge is what makes it fun and exciting.
"Its also why this saga has reached the level that it has… you have been the best fans in film history and we are forever grateful…"
The caption accompanied a video where Rodriguez called Diesel a long-time supporter of strong women, and said her comments were not aimed at him.
But now with the spinoff announcement the cast is hot online with differing points of view. Check out Tyrese's response:
3. Tyrese Gibson vs Dwayne Johnson
Tyrese Gibson – aka Roman Pearce – is apparently angry that Dwayne Johnson will be branching off from the main Fast and Furious series for a spin-off with Jason Statham.
Tyrese took his displeasure public by posting a warning against The Rock's Instagram timeline for his 93.5 million followers to see.
Replying to a photo of The Rock reviewing a movie contract, Tyrese vented: "If you move forward with that #Hobbs Movie you will have purposely ignored the heart to heart moment we had in my sprinter.
"I don't wanna hear from you until you remember what we talked about. I'm on your timeline cause you're not responding to my texts messages. #FastFamily is just that a family……We don't fly solo."
Days later, he added: "I want you to shoot it just not right now cause the #Fast9 release date has already been announced and we can't let our loyal fans #FastFamily or our loyal fast and furious FANS down on any level from pushing the date."
Those messages have since been deleted, but the actor did caption a follow-up photo of the two together with: "I don't do email bruh. You got my cell same San Diego # hit me."
"Diversity, love, multi ethnic worldwide multi generational, United Nations, One Race, Fast Family…… Until Dewayne showed up I guess this whole time he had a problem cause he wasn't the ONLY ONE on the movie poster"
He goes on to claim that he, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and director Rob Cohen were offered a spin-off movie but refused it.
In a subsequent post, he bashed Johnson further for accepting a Hobbs solo movie:
"#PSA Congratulations to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 [Hiram Garcia] for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU," he wrote on Instagram.
Gibson later elaborated on his instagram post in an interview with TMZ:
"Everybody coming at me like I'm hating on Dwayne for his spin-off. I'm not. Truth is I just wish he was releasing it at a different time… Pushing our release date back? It's only happened one time in the history of the Fast and the Furious, when we lost our brother Paul Walker. So what's the reason we're pushing the release date back now? I just got a problem with Dwayne, it appears he's being selfish, it appears that he's being so focused on furthering his own self interest that he's making decisions from the seat that he's sitting in. The Fast and the Furious 9 isn't coming out till 2020… that's f**ked up."
Things seemed to reach even more of a head with Tyrese implying that he wouldn't work with Johnson on Fast 9 and that the producers would have to choose between the two.
Tyrese's 'final word' (we'll see) is that he's spoken to an 'Associate' of Johnson and won't be posting about him any more. His message also implied he WILL be back for Fast 9(again, we'll see).
"Want you guys to know I had a real Heart to Heart with one of Dewayne's associates and this will be my last post about him…….. I repeat my last…. I respect the associate who called.. My story will never change I was never DJ's Co-Star… I'm Shayla's Father first…. Justin Lin is back in the driver seat that's exciting cause it going to feel like the true #FastFamily all over again….. When we see Justin we see Paul…..
Dwayne Johnson has yet to publicly respond to any of Tyrese's social media posts. This is yet another frustrating development for a franchise whose main theme is the importance of family and togetherness.
Fast & Furious 9, meanwhile, was slotted to arrive in cinemas on April 19, 2019 but has now been put back to April 20, 2020.
This story was first reported by Digital Spy


Unlike high end dairy marketers, private label marketers have been slow to answer a recent survey to provide their customers with all the current necessary information how their dairy is being produced. But, Sunnyside has broken the pattern and light emitting diode the way among private-label marketers to become transparent about how exactly their organic milk is being produced.
Based on Sunnyside Farms, as a result of this controversy and distrust among the general public, they wanted to show that they're certainly acting with integrity and the consumers needs in mind when they produce their organic milk under their brand.
What they've shown is that they are in fact persistent in finding their normal milk from high strength places which are primarily family farmers and not industrial factory farm operations that plague the as we know it. These would be the very same farms that their competitors source their so called organic make from, which has resulted in the dispute concerning the true nature of the 'organic milk' created by manufacturers like Walmart, Costco and more.
Sunnyside Farms work together with a co-op of grass based household dairy farmers in the heart of Northern California, who take special care to make sure that their organic produce conforms with the best standards established by the governing body (USDA). According to the Conucopia Institute, one of the consumer protection agencies monitoring the sale of organic produce, they're one of the leaders in the industry and must be applauded for their initiative in this matter.
Often-times without having busy life styles we believe that we don't have enough time for anything. So we by microwave dinners, visit drive thrus, and get pre-packaged meals.
People quite often ignore the ease of creating chocolate and chocolate treats.
Also, the horrors of shopping for processed independently rapped desserts!
There is nothing like home-made delicious foods. It's the very best without doubt!
But, the important thing isn't succumbing to the microwave community. We have to get quick answers that have REAL ingredients.
I am amazed at most of the account websites that exist to assist with dinner a few ideas and delicious recipes.
For instance, I just discovered as you are able to make do-it-yourself milk chocolate with only 5 ingredients!
Just think of of the money that may be saved when creating chocolate-based desserts!
Not to mention eliminating all the prepared fake garbage that's inside the historically purchased pre-packaged material.
Don't skip this! According to what you're choosing you may use natural cocoa powder or dark chocolate this is as much as you. There are certainly a lot of good models out there: Hershey, Ghirardelli, Navitas Naturals. This task is crucial because you want to have when you are finished an excellent handle.
It's this that will support the recipe entirely. There is a shortening that is normal by Spectrums. The consistency is clean and fluffy.
It is great for confectioneries!
It is a fantastic option to other shortenings.
You need to find out that you can be described as a bit naughty and still consume foods that your system can break up.
I used to consume this by it self! I also used this to make my do-it-yourself butter cream frosting for my cakes and the taste is amazing!! Everyone who takes it raves about how good it is. You can test another organic brand at the same time!
You are able to go organic. I found that the item Organic Valley Organic Nonfat Dry Milk Powder is unquestionably superior to other store produced powdered milks! The most effective part is that it does not have that 'prepared, plastic' taste that regular food store milks have. Plus, the fact it is organic only increases the wholesome character of the item.
Going seasonal is the best way to choose your food! Make sure you're a locovore as far as possible, eating local and seasonal fruits and vegetable. You'll be surprised to know how nature ensures that we get all nutrients we need if we follow eat whats in season! Organic food India, cucumber, bottle gourd- these and many more vegetables & herbs can be grown at home with a little care from you, and a few tips from http://www.esvasa.com.
