FAVORITE DUNKS
Kevin Garnett shares which are the two best dunks he ever saw in his HOF career
Author Will Starjacki
Kevin Garnett saw a lot of spectacular plays and dunks in his illustrious NBA career, but he remembers explicitly two dunks that he considers to be the most impressive.
Jordan and C-Webb are the best dunkers in NBA history
In his new book KG: A to Z, Kevin Garnett details the most impressive dunks he witnessed in his HOF career. Garnett saw numerous spectacular dunks that caught his eye when looking at his career that spanned through two decades in the NBA. He also shared that he considers Michael Jordan and Chris Webber the greatest dunker, which is surprising since he mentioned Webber's name, who is not often associated with spectacular dunks.
"I view Jordan as the all-time greatest dunker. But Chris Webber is right there up with him. C-Webb turned layups into dunks. Dunks give you status. If you dunk that brick, ain't no one jumping on you. You see the tone. Make a mark. Here I am!"
Two dunks hold a special place in Garnett's memory
The first dunk that Garnett will never forget was the one from the 1998 All-Star game when he threw an alley-oop, and Kobe Bryant caught it in the air and threw it down with authority. That was also the first All-Star game in which KG and Kobe participated. The second came at the 2000 Olympics in Syndey, and Garnett details how everyone wanted to dunk on Yao Ming. There was even a bounty on him, and the rest of his teammates on Team USA tried their best to put Yao on a poster. Luckily for Yao, nobody could do it because he was just too big and already a great shot blocker in his own right.
"The greatest dunk I've ever seen in person? Several come to mind. One was Kobean at the 1998 All-Star game. The other was in Syndey during the 2000 Olympics. Before the Olympics began, the US team – which included Vince Carter, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ray Allen, Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, and Gary Payton – had a bounty out on Yao Ming. We bet on who'd be the first brotha to dunk on Yao. Each of us failed. Yao's size and blocking stopped us cold."
Even though dunking on Yao was a much more challenging task than anybody ever thought, Vince Carter, delivered one of the best dunks in NBA history over another giant on that tournament. In the final game against France, Carter stole the ball and literally jumped over Frederic Weis. This 7'2″ center stood his ground and couldn't even imagine Carter was capable of pulling off that type of athletic play. Garnett also shares that he was shocked by what Carter did, even though he was known as the best leaper in the world; Carter surprised Garnett because he had never seen something like that in his life until that moment.
"During the game, Vince stole the ball and drove to the basket. Standing between him and the hoop was a 7'2″ monster. Vince leaped over the monster and dunked with the force of Satan. Later the French writers called it 'le dunk de la mort" – the dunk of death. I got so excited that in my mind, I saw the monster as Yao Ming."
These two dunks that Garnett mentioned as the greatest he saw in real time might not be on other people's list of the most spectacular dunks. When someone who has been in the NBA for two decades and played in so many games specifically remembers these two, that means something. Who are we to disagree with Garnett, who saw more basketball in his lifetime than we can ever imagine, and they obviously have a special place in his heart because he was present on the basketball court when they happened.

So what's the downside of decriminalizing drugs? Stuff like this (see Drug addict mugged girl, 8, for just £3.50 as she walked to shop to buy sweets by Emma Reynolds posted 8/2/2012 on the Daily Mail).
A cocaine addict mugged an eight-year-old girl for just £3.50 as she walked to the shop to buy sweets.
That's about $5.48 in US dollars. Which really doesn't matter as much as a cocaine addict mugging an 8 year old girl. It's just yet another example of a drug related crime. Which, incidentally, won't go away by decriminalizing drugs. Unless the government provides free drugs to all drug addicts. Which is doubtful.
This cocaine addict just didn't wake up one morning and decided to mug an 8 year old girl. Just as he didn't wake up one morning and decided to experiment with hard drugs. Picking cocaine as his first drug. No. More than likely he started with marijuana. Then moved on to the harder stuff. And over time an addiction grew. Until one morning he saw an 8 year old girl with a purse.
If they decriminalize drugs more people will experiment with drugs. More people will become addicts. And more 8 year old girls will get mugged. Unless all these addicts today made a conscience choice to become a drug addict. And they didn't become an addict because their recreational drug use got out of control. Which is doubtful. Addiction happens. It is never a conscious choice. And it can happen to anyone.


Missoula Police received a call from a man on Wednesday night, reporting a runaway girl, but ended up arresting the man who made the call on multiple charges. Missoula Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh says they had been searching for a runaway girl since earlier on in the week.
The 911 caller followed the girl to a local convenience store and relayed to police where she was at.
It appears that the girl was attempting to run away from Jackson when he placed the call, as he is being held on two felony charges now, including a felony sexual assault for activity with the girl who was under the age of 16. He is also facing a felony drug distribution charge.

(aka 'Husbands: A Comedy About Life, Death and Freedom')
The trailblazing independent auteur John Cassavetes pushes his raw, uncompromising emotional realism to its limit in this unflinching portrait of masculinity in crisis. Cassavetes joins Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk—both of whom would become key collaborators of the director's—playing a trio of middle-aged Long Island family men who, following the sudden death of their close mutual friend, channel their grief into an epic, multiday bender that takes them from Manhattan to London in a desperate, debauched quest to feel alive. By turns painfully funny and woundingly perceptive, this "comedy about life, death, and freedom" (as its tagline stated) stands as perhaps the most fearless, harrowingly honest deconstruction of American manhood ever committed to film.
"Husbands," John Cassavetes's first film as a director since "Faces," is a personal, almost private movie that is devoted to the exploration of the mysteries of a very middle-class American friendship. Like "Faces," which was rambling and funny and accurate, and which I admired, the new film demonstrates a concern for panicky, inarticulate squares that is so unpatronizing that it comes close to being reverential in a solemnly religious sense.
Gus (Cassavetes), Harry (Ben Gazzara) and Archie (Peter Falk), commuting cronies from Port Washington, L. I., meet at the funeral of the fourth member of their group, a man taken off before his time by a coronary. They are shaken up, not only by the loss of their friend and the awareness that it could have happened to any one of them, but also by their own survival into imminent middle age, that dreadful time when it is suddenly apparent that what is, probably is the way it's always going to be. Archie would have liked to be a professional athlete "You get sweaty and feel good and you're with guys you like."

ADDITION: Criterion Blu-ray (April 2020): Criterion have transferred John Cassavetes' Husbands to 1080P Blu-ray. It is advertised as a "New 4K digital restoration". It is a large advancement over the 2009 DVD with more realistic colors (especially skin tones) and much tighter in the film's intense close-ups (over 5X the bitrate of the SD transfer.) It shows consistent textures and the HD video, housed on a dual-layered disc with a high bitrate (for the almost 2.5 hour film), is excellent - very impressive in-motion.
NOTE: We have added 46 more large resolution Blu-ray captures (in lossless PNG format) for DVDBeaver Patrons HERE
On their Blu-ray, Criterion use a linear PCM mono track (24-bit) in the original English language. There is no 'score' but there is some singing in the bar scenes; Show Me the Way to Go Home sung a cappella by Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk and John Cassavetes, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair etc.. It all sounds clean with occasional intentionally scattered (vérité) dialogue in spots. Criterion offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' / 'B' Blu-ray.
The Criterion Blu-ray offer the same commentary from Marshall Fine author of Accidental Genius: How John Cassavetes Invented the Independent Film. It's incredibly informative and professional - I was very impressed with the extent of detail he was able to offer about Cassavetes and the production. He seemed to know many details about the cast as well as the story. He rarely takes a breath in the 2.5 hours and I found it well worth listening to. Criterion also include, from the last DVD, The Story of Husbands: A Tribute to John Cassavetes which runs 1/2 hour with input from Producer Al Ruban, Gazzara and DoP Victor Kemper with lots of anecdotes on production and on Cassavetes the man. Extras also include the same long theatrical trailer.
There are additional (2020 produced) supplements - a new 25-minute interview with producer Al Ruban who recalls his experience working on Husbands and the creative charisma of John Cassavetes. For Husbands' London sequence, director-actor John Cassavetes cast three women for a series of intimate scenes. In this new 18-minute interview, produced by Criterion in 2020, actress Jenny Runacre speaks candidly about her experience working opposite Cassavetes. I enjoyed the new 13-minute video essay by filmmaker Daniel Raim featuring audio recordings of actor-director John Cassavetes discussing his approach to working with actors, and lastly, is a 1/2 hour episode of The Dick Cavett Show from 1970 featuring Cassavetes, Gazzara, and actor Peter Falk to promote the release of Husbands. They remains off-the-cuff and playful in the interview. The package has a liner notes booklet with an essay by filmmaker Andrew Bujalski.
Shot with a lot of his own money, script written by himself, and filmed, often, at his own house - Cassavetes purely defines the 'independent film' with Husbands. He constantly re-edited for over a year. The Criterion Blu-ray is a must-own for fans of the director - the father of US Indie cinema. Husbands a subtly impacting experience - one that stays with you long after it's over... Our highest recommendation!
ON THE DVD (2009): It is advertised by Sony as being the original full-length version and it runs almost 2.5 hours.
The image quality belies the vérité roots - it's not especially sharp - the camera is quite kinetic but the dual-layered DVD produces a consistent image that may have had a tinge of black level boosting. Essentially it looks acceptable and probably close to its original appearance. A higher resolution would surely have brought out more of the film's grain.
Audio is a clear 2.0 channel supporting the dialogue in the film's realistic fashion - meaning it can intentionally sound a bit scattered. There are optional English subtitles.
It's great that Sony have put some effort into releasing this on DVD (the first time this is on DVD in NTSC). Cassavetes fans will definitely want to see this and judge for themselves how it fits into his oeuvre - it's a fairly subtle expression and the commentary is quite rewarding - well worth the price offered.

Restaurant Group shareholders approve £559m Wagamama purchase
The Restaurant Group shareholders have approved its purchase of Wagamama with about 60% voting in favour at a meeting this morning.
The owner of Garfunkel's, Frankie & Benny's and Chiquito will purchase 133-site Wagamama in a deal that values the company at £559m.
Approval comes despite many shareholders being said to have been shocked by the price tag, which is more than 13 times the group's EBITDA.
Debbie Hewitt MBE, chairman of The Restaurant Group said: "We have engaged extensively with investors throughout this transaction and very much appreciate the time all have given. We are pleased that the majority of our shareholders have approved the acquisition and the associated rights issue, and we would like to thank them for the support they have shown. We are confident that the deal will create significant long-term value.
"The acquisition of Wagamama creates a raft of new opportunities for us to capitalise on in the months and years ahead. We look forward to welcoming the Wagamama team into the business post-completion and thank them alongside all of our Restaurant Group colleagues for keeping focused on delivering for our customers."
The proposal will see The Restaurant Group pay £357m in cash, as well as assuming Wagamama's debt. The Restaurant Group is planning to raise £315m through the issue of 290 million new shares to fund the acquisition, with existing shareholders offered 13 new for nine old shares based at 108.5p.
The Restaurant Group said a number of its existing sites would be converted to Wagamama restaurants accelerating its UK roll-out. The new owner will also look to expand its concessions and delivery presence as well as exploring international options.
Wagamama, founded by Alan Yau in 1992, is owned by private equity firms Duke Street and Hutton Collins.

EV infra not sufficient, but it is improving
Mr SS Kim, MD & CEO, Hyundai India
Korean automaker Hyundai recently launched India's first fully electric SUV Kona. The Government is already giving a major push for electric vehicles, but with a price tag of Rs 25 lakh, this SUV can be bought by only a few. As a result, the carmaker has launched it in only 11 cities. Hyundai India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr SS Kim tells Arindam Majumder of Business Standard what needs to be done to bring EVs to the mainstream in the country. Herewith we reproduce experts from the interview:
Question: The Government is pushing electric vehicles but infrastructure for it to become main stream seems to be lacking. What is your take?
Answer: To be honest, it's not sufficient. A lot needs to be done. People are complaining. But it has improved a lot over the years. The market demand is still ahead. There are issues about charging infrastructure as well. But it's improving.
Question: So is Hyundai much ahead of time in launching an EV?
Answer: Yes and no. I joined the India operations six month back; market feedback shows not many want EVs. Hyundai has introduced EVs across the world. May be it wasn't the right time to enter the Indian market. Clearly, Kona will be catering to a higher pyramid of the market in terms of price. The cost reflects the higher cost of the battery. But at the same time, with Kona, we want to eliminate any inhibitions. We hope that driving Kona will change the mind-set of the customer.
Question: Why have you leapfrogged hybrid and moved straightway to EV, where as many of your competitors are saying that hybrid vehicle?
Answer: Our hybrid vehicles are very popular across the world. In India, the Government is focusing more on EVs. So that has become our focus area. Also hybrid engines still use petrol and diesel. It may be better than normal IC engine but there is still emission. We are trying to completely eliminate that. We are not overlooking hybrid vehicles. If the Government supports hybrids with their policies and taxation structure, we will definitely formulate a strategy. But right now, EV looks like the future.
Question: You mentioned that the price of EV may still be a hurdle in it becoming a mass market product. What needs to be done to change that?
Answer: The price of a vehicle depends completely on the economy of scale, on whether we have meaningful demand from the market. Our vendors and suppliers will only do business on a reduced cost if they see the volume of scale.
Question: Manufacturing locally can also reduce the cost of an EV. Do you see that happening?
Answer: For Kona, we are importing most of the parts from South Korea and localising bulky components such as seats, bumpers. For localisation to increase, the volume has to grow. Only then OEMs will be able to strike meaningful deals with.

Q: TextField `title` is never shown on iOS if `prompt` is provided? Scenario
I have a multiplatform app written in SwiftUI. I want to share as much code between iOS and macOS as possible.
I have not been able to display both title and prompt of a TextField on iOS. When wrapped in a Form, both are displayed on macOS (provided that we use the TextField initializer passing both a title and a prompt of course), but never on iOS.
Documentation states:

You can set an explicit prompt on the text field to guide users on what text they should provide. Each text field style determines where and when the text field uses a prompt and label. For example, a form on macOS always places the label at the leading edge of the field and uses a prompt, when available, as placeholder text within the field itself. In the same context on iOS, the text field uses either the prompt or label as placeholder text, depending on whether the initializer provided a prompt.

iOS
Screenshot

Code
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text1 = ""
    @State var text2 = ""
    @State var text3 = ""
    var body: some View {
        Form {
            TextField("T1", text: $text1, prompt: Text("P1"))
            TextField(text: $text2, prompt: Text("P2")) {
                Text("T2")
            }
            TextField("T3", text: $text3)

            Text("iOS: `title` \"T1\" & \"T2\" is never shown, \"P1\", \"P2\" & \"T3\" is shown when fields are empty.")
        }.padding()
    }
}

macOS
Screenshot

Code
Code is identical....
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text1 = ""
    @State var text2 = ""
    @State var text3 = ""
    var body: some View {
        Form {
            TextField("T1", text: $text1, prompt: Text("P1"))
            TextField(text: $text2, prompt: Text("P2")) {
                Text("T2")
            }
            TextField("T3", text: $text3)

            Text("macOS: `title` \"T1\", \"T2\" & \"T3\" are always shown, \"P1\", \"P2\" are shown when fields are empty.")
        }.padding()
    }
}

Problem
The documentation shows an example which uses the prompt "Required" for a password field. This is extremely confusing when only this prompt is shown and never the title "Password"` on iOS. Because the user does not know what she is inputting... Just that she is inputting something that is required.
Question
How can I avoid prompt hiding title on iOS, while still leverage them on macOS? Feels like I have to write my own TextField view impl checking if platform is macOS then do nothing, otherwise if iOS add a manual title view and wrap them in a HStack/VStack?
What am I missing?

At certain stages in life it can feel as if you've come to the end of a particular road. You may want to find a new direction, but are unable to see any clear way forward. You may feel unsure about where to start or perhaps you're fearful of actually taking the first step. I know what it's like to struggle to turn your life around and move in a completely different direction and I feel passionate about supporting others in engaging with both the inner and outer aspects of the change process. Life transitions can be incredibly challenging, but also potentially enriching and transformative experiences.
How committed are you really to making changes in your life?
Rate your level of commitment on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is very low and 10 is the highest possible. If it's less than a 6, it's probably not very likely that you're going to do what it takes to bring about inner and outer change.
There are basically 3 fundamental things that need to be in place to facilitate change.
If any of these three elements is missing, it's much less likely that you'll make the change you're aspiring towards. When you stay in situations that no longer serve you, such as a relationship you've outgrown or a job you don't like or may even have come to hate, you end up feel diminished and unfulfilled. Real fulfilment comes from being true to yourself and living an authentic life. It's the difference between surviving and really flourishing. For things to change in any significant way, you need to TAKE ACTION. What kind of life do you really want to create? Think about what it's costing you to keep on doing the same things and staying in the same place.
It's often hard to initiate major life changes on your own. We all need support at times and we all have blindspots, which can be very difficult to recognise unless someone else helps to shine a light on them. If you're in the midst of an identity crisis and feel held back by limiting beliefs or self-sabotaging behaviour, I can help you to recognise ways that you may be sabotaging yourself and to understand what is trying to emerge through the crisis. Through the coaching process I will support you in developing a clear, focused plan for the life you want to create and I will hold you accountable for taking steps to make changes. Whatever your particular needs are, I can offer you real support to move through obstacles and to create a life that is the highest expression of who you authentically are.
You reach a choice point when you recognise that you can either continue doing the things you've always done, in which case your situation is not likely to change very much. Or, you can step up and take action to create the kind of life you would like to be leading. If you're still unsure about what's the best way forward for yourself, I invite you to go back and re-read the 3 critical elements described earlier for making radical changes. Think about where you are in the change process and about how committed you really are to taking action to change your situation. When all 3 of the elements in the change process are in place and you are basically prepared to do whatever it takes, change becomes almost inevitable. It's then just a question of when it happens.
Find out how a Complimentary Discovery Session can help you to navigate choice points and clarify what would best support you in moving forward. A no-obligation Complimentary Discovery Session gives you an opportunity to explore in more depth how you can get from where you are to where you want to be. If you are serious about making changes in your life, I encourage you to take the first step right now and arrange a Discovery Session. What do you have to lose? What you have to gain is the chance to create the kind of life that truly fulfils you.

Truth be told, this is something most wouldn't feel amped to write about. Or maybe just not today. The music world once again grew heavy with the unfortunate loss of another talented artist, living now in our memories. On July 20, 2017, singer Chester Bennington of Linkin Park was found dead in his home, due to suicide. For long-time fans, and maybe the angst-ridden casual listeners, Bennington was the voice we found comfort in.
Linkin Park released their seventh album, One More Light, on May 19, 2017 after a few months of behind-the-scenes footage on their YouTube channel, along with a few standard lyric videos promoting its various tracks. For fans since their iconic debut, there were a few bumps along the way due to a shift in the band's sound and members taking time to explore their new musical interests. After Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns, the band has continued into a space where they don't try to do one or the other, but continue to blend, blend, blend, creating familiar yet new sounds group-wise, for the indecisive, open-minded listener. Does the new album stand up among Linkin Park's rest?

EVA Air: Fly from Vietnam to Canada in Style
By: Arik Jahn
The Taiwanese airline EVA Air is adding flights to their Ho Chi Minh City-Canada route. Why so? Well, as strange as it might sound: first of all for historical reasons.
Vietnamese Canadians form one of the largest non-European ethnic groups in Canada – an impressive 220,000 have made this northern country their home, and that number is growing. Many of them were among the famous "boat people" from South Vietnam who fled the country after the fall of Saigon in 1975. Sixty thousand Vietnamese resettled in Canada by the late '70s.
As for so many other immigrants, Canadian Vietnamese are drawn to the country's urban centres – most notably Vancouver, home to Vietnam's Consulate General, and Toronto, which has the highest concentration of Vietnamese in all of Canada.
And where there's family, Vietnamese want to visit. All the more if relatives have moved to North America, a region many Vietnamese still consider to be the land of milk and honey.
Starting 16 June 2017, the Taiwanese airline EVA Air is catering to this need, adding two extra flights per week to its Toronto-Ho Chi Minh City route; additionally, the airline will increase flights between Vancouver and Ho Chi Minh City to once a day. But why fly with EVA Air?
Five-Star Service at Reasonable Prices
Well, how about this: EVA Air is a 5-star airline. All right, 5-star is a widely overused term, but Skytrax, the definitive international benchmark for airline quality standards, does not use this label lightly. These flying experts know what makes an air trip great, and they awarded only nine airlines in the world with the top rating.
Service? On-board technology? Entertainment options? Comfort? Safety? All top-of-the-range.
EVA Air's high-end fleet includes Boeing 777-300ERs, perfect for spoiling you with the best Wi-Fi quality during a cross-Pacific flight.
Thanks to a short layover time of only two to two-and-a-half hours at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei, EVA Air minimises the overall flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Vancouver to a convenient 17.5 hours. A trip to Toronto takes a little more: 20 hours.
Say, a Vietnamese mother and father are visiting their children who study in Toronto. What do they need most to feel at ease during their flight? Vietnamese flight attendants to navigate them through their journey.
EVA Air has a large number of Vietnamese crew members for an international airline. You can be sure to have at least one of them on all long-haul trips to North America. Especially elderly people appreciate that, as they do not always speak English.
EVA Air has set up a three-month ground training for all its crew staff, making sure its service maintains the highest safety and behavioural standards. The cabin crew know how to make you feel like at home when you fly with EVA Air.
The staff will gladly assist with any issue you might possibly have. As most of the passengers between Vietnam and North America are Vietnamese, this is key to a convenient flight experience.
With the Vietnamese community growing in Canada, EVA Air smartly caters to an increasing need of comfortable and fast, yet affordable flights to the country's key destinations – features that also attract Western expatriates who wish to visit their home country and, certainly not least, tourists.
Canada, the Asian Dream
Southeast Asians love Canada for many things their home countries don't have: polar bears, for instance. It is truly cosmopolitan, space is vast, traffic is safe, healthcare is a public good, and it is cold – freezing cold – hence there's snow!
The unequalled natural delights of a country which is home to a population that counts less than half of Vietnam's, while its territory is the second-largest of the world, makes for a travel destination that is a change to ever-so-dense Ho Chi Minh City.
The Rocky Mountains. The Niagara Falls. Do we have to say more?
No wonder the Taiwanese airline EVA Air is increasing their flight offer from Ho Chi Minh City to Vancouver and Toronto.


Grace Kelly was a famous Hollywood actress who became Princess Grace of Monaco and died at age 54 after driving a car off a hilly Monaco road. Her father was Jack Kelly, a wealthy Philadelphia construction contractor who was also a three-time Olympic gold medal winner in rowing. Her brother was also an Olympic rowing champion.
After high school, she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Her parents did not approve of her becoming an actress, so they paid for only one year's tuition. She was so beautiful that she easily made the money she needed by modeling.
Her Acting Career After her schooling, she was immediately able to get jobs in live television and the theater. In 1952 she got a featured part in the movie High Noon, where she was rumored to have spent time with Gary Cooper, a married man 28 years her senior. She also was close to actors Gene Lyons, Clark Gable, and Ray Milland, fashion designer Oleg Cassini, French actor Jean-Pierre Aumont, singer Bing Crosby and actor William Holden. Her movie career of 11 films lasted only five years, yet she ranks number one on a list of the most beautiful actresses ever.
Becoming a Princess At the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, Pierre Galante, the husband of actress Olivia de Havilland, arranged for her to meet Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Three days after meeting her, the 31-year-old cigar smoking and overweight prince proposed marriage to the lady he believed was a good choice to be the mother of his future children.
He certainly was in a hurry to marry. His family, the House of Grimaldi, had ruled Monaco since 1297, but a treaty with France stated that if there was no legitimate heir, Monaco would become part of France. Rainier was running out of time.
Her father gave Prince Rainier $2 million as a dowry and the couple was married on April 18, 1956. Six hundred guests attended and 30 million people watched the televised wedding during which Grace Kelly became Princess Grace of Monaco. The couple had three children: Caroline, Albert and Stephanie.
The media reported rumors of many affairs with other people. Wendy Leigh, in her 2007 book, "True Grace", claimed that Prince Rainier took at least three mistresses soon after Grace became pregnant during their honeymoon. The book also claimed that Grace had a string of romances before and after the wedding and lists some of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. During her marriage, she accepted an offer by Alfred Hitchcock to return to acting, but did not fulfill the contract.
The Fatal Auto Accident Nobody really knows what caused Princess Grace's car crash. However, in 1989, seven years after the crash, Jeffrey Robinson wrote a book, "Rainier and Grace: An Intimate Portrait," in which her daughter is reported to have given the following account of the accident.
On that morning, the chauffeur parked the couples' green Rover in front of the house to drive Princess Grace and her 17-year old daughter, Stephanie, to take a train to Paris, where Stephanie was going to start school. Almost always the chauffeur drove the car, but the back seat of the car was packed with dresses and large hat boxes, so there were only two seats left in front: one for the driver and one for one passenger. Grace told her chauffeur that she would drive. The chauffeur told her that they could leave the dresses, drive to the train station, and he would go back and pick the dresses up later. Grace drove off and the chauffeur stayed home.
Ten minutes later, she came to a 150 degree bend in the road where you have to turn very hard to the right just to stay on the road. She missed that turn and the Rover slammed through the small retaining wall, and flipped through more than 120 feet of trees.
Stephanie told her sister, Caroline, how the crash occurred. "Mommy kept saying, I can't stop. The brakes don't work. I can't stop." She said that Mommy was in a complete panic. Stephanie grabbed the hand brake. She told me right after the accident, `I pulled on the hand brake but it wouldn't stop. I tried but I just couldn't stop the car."
Stephanie also said that her mother complained of a headache, and the car started to swerve, she probably missed the brake and hit the accelerator instead. "A witness to the accident said that he was 50 yards behind the Rover, nearing that very steep, sharp curve, when he saw the Rover swerve violently, zigzagging across both lanes. Then the car straightened out and shot ahead very fast. He knew the road and knew that the bend was coming up and, in those two or three seconds when he didn`t see any brake lights on, he realized what was going to happen."
The police found no skid marks on the road. Neither Grace nor Stephanie was wearing a seat belt. Grace had a severe cut on her scalp and was found pinned by the steering column into the rear seat. She never woke up. Thirty-six hours after the accident, the life-support equipment was turned off and she died at 52 years of age. Close to 100 million people watched her televised funeral.
Cause of Death The doctors at the hospital said that special X rays of her brain (CAT scans) showed two hemorrhages: a mild brain hemorrhage, and a second major brain hemorrhage. The doctors claimed that the first hemorrhage was a stroke that caused her to lose control of the car, and the second hemorrhage was caused by the accident that killed her. It took incredible sleuthing for the doctors to claim that she had a stroke before the accident. Rover engineers who inspected the car found nothing that could have caused the accident. French investigators decided that the accident was caused by Grace passing out and losing control of the car.
Princess Grace's Legacy Since her death the authors of many books and films have speculated that Princess Grace was very unhappy and lonesome. However, she did have the satisfaction of providing the heir that Prince Rainier III needed to perpetuate the principality of Monaco. Prince Albert succeeded his father, who died in 2005. He is highly regarded as a ruler, particularly for his advocacy of the environment and international sports. Following the Olympic tradition of his medal-winning grandfather and uncle, Albert competed in many sports including rowing, swimming and cross country, and was on the bobsled team in every winter Olympics from Calgary to Salt Lake City. He has been a member of the International Olympic Committee since 1985. He married Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock in 2011 and they are expecting a child in 2014.

Q: Quantum Fourier Transform and Entropy QFT is a nonlocal unitary transformation and so can generate entanglement in a system. It means a separable pure state can be converted into an entangled pure state. Now since the presence of entanglement can be witnessed via an increase in the entropy of the subsystems. Since all the subsystems witness a positive entropy change ,does the entropy of the complete system also increase (it seems to increase since entropy is additive) ? Now if it does increase , It seems to violate reversible nature of Quantum algorithms. I am very confused.

A: Just because the entropy of the subsystems increases, that doesn't mean that the entropy of the whole system increases.  This is possible here because of entanglement: an entangled pure state has zero overall entropy, but the subsystems have non zero entropy.  A simple example is the state
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|00\rangle+|11\rangle).
\end{equation}
Both qubits have subsystem states
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{2}(|0\rangle\langle 0|+|1\rangle\langle 1|),
\end{equation}
and, if you compute the entropy of these states, via
\begin{equation}
S=-\textrm{tr}[\rho\log(\rho)],
\end{equation}
you get $\log(2)$ as the entropy for both qubits.  But, if you compute the entropy of the full system, you get zero.

The Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) is an elite sports institute established in 1983 by the Government of Western Australia to support athletes in Western Australia.
WAIS measures its success by the quality and quantity of its contribution to Australian International Sporting Success. The WAIS operational focus is on the delivery of high quality daily training environments to athletes currently representing Australia or considered capable of representing Australia in the future. WAIS operates and manages a series of Sport Programs as agreed in formal partnerships with each sport's National Sporting Organisation (NSO) and the State Sporting Organisation (SSO). Each program constitutes a core element of the sport's national high performance athlete pathway. WAIS will employ a Program Coach, or Coaches, to lead and direct a Program.
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Performance Team Director - Pathways (PTD-Pathways) is a senior management role focused on enabling enhanced athlete development and performance to achieve WAIS organisational goals.
This is one of three PTD positions within WAIS, each responsible for a cluster of sports and/or programs. The PTD-Pathways has responsibility for a cluster of sports in which WAIS has agreed to develop and prepare athletes for potential selection to a national training centre program not managed by WAIS. The current sports within the Pathways Performance Enhancement Team are cycling, diving, hockey and rowing.
The PTD-Pathways is responsible for leading a multidisciplinary Performance Enhancement Team (PET) of professional coaches and performance service staff to both enable athletes to achieve the required performance standards for selection to a sport national training centre and to develop the skills and mindset of the athlete to thrive and succeed.
The responsibilities cover managing systems and people to secure internal and external resources essential to deliver athlete performance targets. Routine reporting on the operations and outcomes of the team to the CEO and to sport program partners is required. The PTD-Pathways is also responsible for ensuring the performance enhancement team capability continues to evolve to ensure future challenges do not impact the team's ability to achieve its goals.
As a member of the senior management team the PTD-Pathways contributes to the routine monitoring and review of WAIS strategy and organisational capability required to deliver future results.
The role will suit candidates experienced in leading and managing a multi or inter disciplinary team of professionals and experts within a fast pace environment. These experiences may have been gained directly in high performance sport or alternatively through working in a leadership, coaching or mentoring capacity with high achievers in a non-sport environment. Regardless, candidates must demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements of high performance coaches and best practice in high performance coaching to bring about results.
This role is based in a new modern $34 million purpose built facility at the WAIS High Performance Service Centre, located at HBF Stadium within the Mt Claremont Sports Precinct. WAIS staff include over 40 full and part-time coaches and 15 sport scientists and performance service officers.
The contract period will be initially 2 years + 2 years subject to negotiation and ongoing performance.


When it comes to the decision about whether to start your Canada Pension Plan early or wait until later, there's plenty of opinion.
The general advice is that if you can wait to take the pension then wait, because you'll get more, and because it's indexed you'll get more for longer. But some readers are frustrated because that's too general and doesn't take into account the specifics of their case.
That's true; one size doesn't fit all and the best way to figure out what's best for you is to seek the advice of a financial planner or other professional. It's their job to look at the details of your financial life and help you reach the right conclusion.
"I know of a number of people who are delaying their CPP based on analyses like yours and (who) don't do the calculations specific to their own circumstances," wrote Bill Welch, who retired last year at 57 and is trying to figure out what to do about CPP.
He was referring to a recent column that looked at break-even points for the '60 versus 65' decision. Welch said general advice doesn't help those like him who retire before 60. The longer they wait, the more years of zero income go into the calculation of their CPP pension.
The plan allows you to drop out low-income years without reducing the pension amount. This is how it works: To get the maximum, you must have contributed to CPP at the maximum level for 39½ years between the ages of 18 and 65. Since that span is 47 years, the formula lets you drop about eight of the lowest-paid years.
Many readers wonder what happens if you retire at 57, for example, and wait until 65. Do those eight extra years of no contributions lower the pension to the point where it's better to start early?
Bruce Westcott is in that boat.
"If you have multiple years of low or no income, the low earnings drop out. This option is beneficial for those whose careers have been interrupted for a variety of reasons (such as returning to school, early retirement, lay off, providing childcare, recent immigrants with shorter contributory periods, or taking of a leave of absence).
This would take him to 63 or 64, depending on his birthday.
Fred Vettese, chief actuary at benefits consultant Morneau Shepell, says if Westcott contributed for 35 years between 22 and 57, that would leave seven more years between 18 and 60 with little or no contributions. If he waits until 65 that's another four years with no earnings.
"[Starting a pension at 65] is still better than the pension at age 60 but may have a lesser value because he ends up receiving payments for five fewer years," he says.
Reader John Stapleton pointed out yet another wrinkle in the decision. It relates to the Guaranteed Income Supplement, which is available to low-income Canadians over 65.
"Almost anyone who is GIS-eligible should take early CPP," he said.
"He is correct," says Malcolm Hamilton, Senior Fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute and former head actuary at human resource consultant Mercer.
This is because part of the GIS will be taxed back, since the CPP pension is taxable income. If you draw CPP at 60 there is no claw back because the GIS isn't received until 65.
All of this is more evidence that individual circumstances differ considerably, so rules of thumb are only a guide. You have to do the math to come up with the answer that works for you.
Only 6% of new CPP pensioners get the maximum amount.
The maximum in 2014 is $1,038 a month, if you start at 65.
The average CPP payment is half the maximum: $537 a month.
On average, men get a third more than women, $608 a month versus $466.
24% of Canadians between 65 and 69 are still working, up from 11% in 2000 .

Our fully automated processes guarantee maximum reproducibility.
We assure that performances match perfectly to the drawing at any time depending fnish quality (roughness) and edge rounding (DIN ISO 13715). Quality assurance is performed and documented individually according to customer requirements, respectively drawings. If critical components are used, a 100% consistent documented control is possible. Of course we take care about any necessary sorting tasks of further processing. To give you an impression of our high standards and qualities, we offer you a sample processing for free. You can transmit your request by phone or via contact form.
Optimization in the µ-range: We optimize stamping tools like matrices and punches, as well as tools like drill bits and milling machines. Because of the grinding process, cutting edges, for example of tap drills, show a series of microscopic defects on the cutting area. Those defects appear e.g. as raptures, chipping, burrs and inaccurate surfaces, that can cause premature abrasion or break of the tools, as well as deterioration of the work piece surface. Cutting edge preparation with drag finishing method allows us, via systemic rounding of cutting edges in the µ-range, to enhance the service life of tools and improve the surface quality considerably.
For polishing, grinding or exact edge fillet: During the drag finishing process, larger components with complex geometries or components that must not contact are fixed in specific holding devices. They get dragged through a vessel with polishing granulate in a circular motion rapidly. The swift motion results high contact pressures between workpiece and process medium, which rebounds to an optimal processing result of exact edge rounding or high gloss finish in hand polishing quality.
Clean, intensive and 20 times more effective: The centrifugal disc finishing process is a slide grinding process and was developed for the surface treatment of workpieces. The disc-shaped bottom of a cylindrical container open at the top is separated from the container wall by a gap. The workpieces together with a suitable abrasive or polishing media are processed in a high speed toroidal flow powered by the rotating disc. By the effect of different centrifugal forces between the workpieces and the machining medium a very inten-sive finishing process arise, which can be 20 times more effective than conventional vibrators. During the wet processing, a mixture of water and compunds are supplied and drained, which flushes out the shabby dirt particles so a clean, corrosion free surface occurs.


2014 has truly been a year of growth for me personally. As you may know, in the midst of seeing a counselor for anxiety, I was also diagnosed with ADD. I have always felt different, but never knew why. Growing up with this undiagnosed disorder made life very challenging as both a child and an adult. In effect, lowering much of my self-confidence and self-esteem.
Now that I have answers to many of the struggles I have dealt with my entire life, I have started learning healthy ways to combat some of my many challenges. Since establishing some new skills to cope with anxiety and ADD, my life is starting to look not so out-of-control as it once had. The process of getting my life more organized has lead to building self esteem within me. It is still quite low, but I am a never-ending work in progress.
Just to clarify things a little bit before I go on, Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence are two different things.
Self-Esteem is your thoughts on your overall self-worth. In other words, being comfortable in your strengths and weaknesses. It is feeling content in your own skin.
On the other hand, Self-Confidence is how you view your abilities to do something. It's overcoming obstacles and believing in your strengths.
I have been aware of a low self-esteem issue with me for a while now, but how do you measure your self-esteem? Here are some basics for you to decide whether or not you have healthy self-esteem.
Self-acceptance is loving yourself just the way you are. A person with health self-esteem will accept their flaws, change what they can, and accept what cannot. Accepting myself as is has been one of my biggest challenges. I've always felt that my weaknesses are so vast. However, I am looking at my weaknesses as my strengths these days. I believe that the weaknesses I have, are in place for me to learn and grow from them, and, if possible help others along the way.
When someone has a healthy self-esteem, they will be able to accept others. Accepting others doesn't mean putting up wrong treatment, but it mean overlooking minor faults and being forgiving of them. Acceptance of others also involves not being in competition with them. When you have a healthy self-esteem, you will not feel the need to compete with others, or to put others down. Being accepting of others is one category where I demonstrate the most self-esteem. I am well aware of the fact that I have many faults, so who am I to judge anyone else? I'm not a very competitive person, so I rarely feel the need to go head-to-head with anyone!
For a person to be truly happy, they need to learn to go along with whatever direction life takes them. A healthy self-esteem is evident when even though something may go wrong; the individual can go with the flow and make the situation work. When someone's self-esteem is weak, this is very difficult and sometimes impossible to do. It takes a strong sense of self-esteem to be able to overcome the many rapid changes life throws at us, and to do so with grace. I do have problems with change. I am trying to be more adaptable, but it does throw me off kilter!
An individual with healthy self-esteem will view the world as a place where they can learn and grow in a positive way. When someone lacks self-acceptance, they will not see life this way. To a person with low self-esteem, the world can seem dangerous and cold. You can determine a lot about your self-esteem by how you think about almost everything around you. Is your glass half empty or half full? Your answer will likely give you your answer as to your level of self-esteem. More often than not, my glass is frequently half full!
When your self-esteem is healthy, you will be more likely to put yourself into situations that require confidence, and less likely to back out of things due to fear. Someone who has self-esteem and the confidence that comes with it will be comfortable trying new things, even if it means making a mistake. Healthy self-esteem allows you to understand that making mistakes is a normal part of life and that you can move on without regrets. Ahhh, yes, this is one of my biggest struggles. I frequently back out of things due to fear of failure. I also tend to be more meek, becoming the follower rather than a leader.
Healthy self-esteem is the building block of a satisfying life. When you have it, you will find life to be a positive experience full of learning and growth. Without it, life will feel like one obstacle after another. By learning what healthy self-esteem is, you can make a choice to build this important attribute in your life and build the life you desire.
How is your self-esteem fairing? Do you find yours to be healthy, or does it need some work?

The idea of masturbating in front of someone else can, understandably, be a little bit daunting. It can make you feel vulnerable, and maybe even a little bit silly or shameful.

Absolutely fantastic, close up shots are superb, love it!


Probably known best today as the movie John Carpenter remade as The Thing, this classic alien invasion flick involves an extremely close encounter with a highly evolved plant that terrorizes an outpost at the North Pole. It's more straightforward creature feature than Carpenter's version of John Campbell's story "Who Goes There?", but that's not a knock on it at all. It's a thriller with a lot of appeal, typically lulling us into a state of calm with emotional monologues before reminding us there's still a terrible beastie out there trying to drain everyone's blood.
It also gave Spielberg one of the early working titles for his alien contact film, back when he was calling it Watch the Skies.
It will never stop being cool that François Truffaut played a major role in Close Encounters. Deep into his career as a premiere voice of the French New Wave, here he was learning how to speak to extra-terrestrials for Steven Spielberg – the only time he acted in a film that he didn't direct. Obviously, Spielberg enjoyed working with him.
His Claude Lacombe is a delight, and his signing to the aliens at the end of the film is sheer joy. Utter bliss. You could watch Truffaut's The Man Who Loved Women as a nod to Close Encounters because he wrote it during his down time between shots, but Fahrenheit 451 may be a more fitting candidate because it's the one time he really dipped his toe into science fiction. Naturally, he excised almost every sci-fi element from Ray Bradbury's novel while adapting it.
Not only is The Ten Commandments playing on a screen on Roy's house during Close Encounters, the two films share some thematic similarities. Both are about relatively relatable men whose captivation with powerful beings in the sky change their lives in radical ways. Both also reach a climax at a mountainous earthen structure.
The epic about Moses – from childhood to slavehood to leadership to death – is also a stirring mix of spectacle and humanity with a miraculous task at its center, and both films were blockbusters that became classics of their respective genres.

Second Woman Accuses Virginia Lt. Gov. Fairfax of Rape
Meanwhile, a second woman came forward Friday accusing Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax of sexual assault. Meredith Watson said Fairfax raped her in 2000 while they were both students at Duke University. In a statement, she called the attack "premeditated and aggressive." Fairfax has denied the accusations and called for the FBI to investigate.
Watson's statement also said she was raped on another occasion by a Duke basketball player, prior to the alleged rape by Fairfax. Duke reportedly dismissed the rape allegation against the basketball player at the time. Hours after the second sexual assault accusation emerged Friday, Patrick Hope, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, said he will introduce articles of impeachment against Fairfax if he does not step down by today.
