Newsweek Special Edition: LEGO – The toy that changed our lives [Review]
When you play with LEGO, it's a birthday party every day! Throughout 2018, the LEGO Group has been celebrating two very special birthdays in the form of the patented LEGO brick (60 years) and minifigure (40 years). To celebrate the occasion, LEGO has given us Wal-Mart exclusives, a special 60th anniversary set, and a series of collectible minifigures dressed for a party. Thanks to Newsweek, we now also have a special edition magazine that is entirely devoted to our favorite interlocking plastic building bricks. We finally got our hands on a copy and are eager to share our thoughts with you.
Having read this 100 page special issue cover-to-cover, I can confidently say the overall presentation was excellent. High quality glossy pages not only looked good, but felt nice to the touch. I also found plenty of eye candy inside, including a wide variety of page layouts and illustrations to help hold my interest.
Speaking of illustrations, Newsweek appears to have taken LEGO's "only the best is good enough" approach. I found the images to be phenomenal and enjoyable to look at, whether it was snapshots from inside LEGO headquarters or of Barack Obama sitting next to one of Nathan Sawaya's sculptures. As a history-buff, I was also pleased to see reproductions of vintage advertising and photographs, one of which I had never seen.
In addition to the magazine's overall appearance, I felt another key strength was its diverse range of content. A total of fifteen topics were covered, including articles on the LEGO Ideas platform, LEGOLAND, minifigure history & design, a look inside the LEGO factory, and interviews with a LEGO artist and LEGO Architecture designer. Another bonus included historical timelines showcasing both the history of the LEGO Star Wars theme and of the company itself.
Even though the photography and diverse approach were great, I couldn't help but feel like these two areas came at the expense of the written content. Fifteen articles provides a lot of material to cover, which has unfortunately contributed to a lack of depth in many of them. I was particularly disappointed in the "LEGOstalgia" article, which presented a look at four classic LEGO sets. Absent from the brief paragraph-long write-ups were meaningful notes on the historical context behind the sets' design or significance.
There were also at least two historical inaccuracies that stood out. One page featured four magazine advertisements identified as examples from the UK in the 1960s and 1970s, but one of the ads shown was actually from the U.S. in the 1960s. In another instance, an article implied that the LEGO System lacked people prior to the birth of the minifigure, completely ignoring the older buildable figures that even predated the minifigs most primitive form. These figures were often advertised alongside models such as trains, which appeared much smaller in scale. In fact, this imbalance in scale was one of the contributing factors that led to the modern minifigure.
In light of these flaws, was I completely disappointed? Absolutely not! I enjoyed leafing through all the illustrations, many of which document LEGO in its present form. From an historical standpoint, this adds enough value for me to want to keep it. Conversely, when it comes to reading material on LEGO history itself there are arguably much better resources out there. The intended audience is clearly the general public, and I am sure they will enjoy it. When it comes to online retailers Media Lab Books and Amazon, the magazine is currently sold out. If you are interested in snagging a copy, you might try checking your local newsstand or scavenging for one on eBay.

Does the article mention Kiddicraft anywhere?
Matt Hocker Post author July 29, 2018 at 9:12 am
Hi David. The magazine does not reference Kiddicraft anywhere, nor does it offer an in-depth history of the company. They do, however, reference Kiddicraft via the history section of the LEGO website. https://www.lego.com/en-us/legohistory/automatic-binding-bricks
"The bricks that Ole Kirk Kristiansen brings home from the first demonstration in 1946 have been invented by a Briton, Hilary Fisher Page – but they have not been a success for his company, Kiddicraft. In the late 1950s the LEGO Group contacts Kiddicraft to ask whether they object to the LEGO brick. They don't. On the contrary, they wish the LEGO company good luck with the bricks – with which Kiddicraft has not enjoyed much success. In 1981 the LEGO Group purchases the rights to Kiddicraft bricks from the descendants of Hilary Fisher Page."

There's no way that Disney *didn't* mandate two Reys on the cover and not a single Luke Skywalker minifigure…
Andrew July 29, 2018 at 4:08 pm
^ What's your point?
Håkan July 29, 2018 at 6:34 pm
There's still Darth Vader, Yoda and Lando Calrissian from the Classic Trilogy, though… I don't really find Luke Skywalker that interesting, either as a character or a minifigure…
Jester July 30, 2018 at 10:53 am
The cover is out of whack. With what, 29 different versions at last count? Luke Skywalker's is a hugely important character for Lego Star Wars, but he's nowhere to be found on the cover, while Disney's replacement for him, Rey, appears twice (and is flanked by Finn and Disney!Lando).
@Jester: Ah, yes — Disney does seem more interested in promoting its own IP than the IP it inherited from Lucasfilm. (I was concerned you were making a very different point…)

Was very exited to see this issue back in stock at Media Lab Books just now, since I find that this issue already is pretty expensive on ebay.. But quite disappointing to see that in my case, it's approx. $30 in postage for a $11 magazine even from "the source", which makes for a VERY expensive magazine. At 100 pages, at that.
So it's actually a few $ cheaper to just purchase it at ebay now.. :(

Indiana Court of Appeals Decision Signals Change in State's Restrictive Covenant Law
Indiana, State Developments, Unfair Competition and Trade Secrets
John A. Drake Indianapolis
Chicago Author
On April 15, 2019, the Indiana Court of Appeals issued a ruling that significantly developed restrictive covenant law in two areas: whether courts may reform contracts (as opposed to blue-penciling them) and whether non-solicitation provisions can include prospective customers.
In Heraeus Medical, LLC, et al. v. Zimmer, Inc. et al., the court of appeals—apparently for the first time—reformed an overbroad restriction rather than merely blue-penciling it. The court also clarified that non-solicitation provisions may include prospective customers, a category that practitioners had long considered to be off-limits.
Zimmer had exclusive distribution rights for Heraeus's bone cements. When that deal ended, Zimmer employee Robert Kolbe and others joined Heraeus to work in sales. Kolbe's restrictive covenant with Zimmer included the following provision prohibiting the solicitation of customers or active prospects, among other restrictive covenants: "[e]mployee will not, directly or indirectly, (i) provide, sell or market; (ii) assist in the provision, selling or marketing of; or (iii) attempt to provide, sell or market any Competing Products to any of Company's Customers or Active Prospects in the Restricted Territory." A key phrase in the definition of "active prospect" was that it meant a person or entity "to whom, at any time during the six (6) months immediately preceding the termination of Employee's employment with Company, Employee had (i) any marketing or sales contact on behalf of Company and/or ii) access to, or gained knowledge of, any Confidential Information concerning Company's business prospects with such Active Prospect."
The agreement also included the following employee non-solicitation provision:
Employee will not employ, solicit for employment, or advise any other person or entity to employ or solicit for employment, any individual employed by Company at the time of Employee's separation from Company employment, or otherwise induce or entice any such employee to leave his/her employment with Company to work for, consult with, provide services to, or lend assistance to any Competing Organization.
The period of the restrictions was 18 months.
In addition, the Kolbe agreement contained the following provision: "The parties agree that any court interpreting the provisions of this Agreement shall have the authority, if necessary, to reform any such provision to make it enforceable under applicable law."
The trial court issued a preliminary injunction against Kolbe, enjoining him from, among other things:
soliciting anyone working for Zimmer as of November 3, 2017, or enticing them to leave their jobs with Zimmer to work for Heraeus; and
selling to or contacting any Zimmer customers Kolbe had sold to in his final two years of employment or any active prospects to whom he had marketed Zimmer products in his last six months of employment.
The Court of Appeals addressed those two key issues, among others.
New Contract Reformation Approach
The issue of whether to blue-pencil or reform the contract arose with the covenant not to solicit Zimmer's employees. The appeals court agreed with Heraeus that Zimmer "[had] not shown that it [had] a legitimate protectable interest in its entire workforce, which includes many employees who would not have access to or possess any knowledge that would give a competitor an unfair advantage."
Rather than invalidate the entire employee non-solicitation provision, the court noted that the "parties specifically agreed that [the court had] the authority 'to reform any [unreasonable] provision to make it enforceable under applicable law'" (quoting the agreement).
The court then remanded the case so the trial court could narrow the preliminary injunction on employee non-solicitation to "those employees in which the company has a legitimate protectable interest." The court did not elaborate on who those employees were.
The court did not explain its departure from what it called the "general rule" that courts may not create a reasonable restriction under the guide of interpretation. It also did not explain how its ruling was in accord with case law instructing courts not to rewrite contracts and instead only blue-pencil, or excise, overbroad language.
The ruling now allows a trial court to rewrite an overbroad provision if the contract at issue contains a provision giving that authority to the court, as many contracts do. Employers may want to consider including such provisions in restrictive covenants, and practitioners could request that relief in the event a court finds a restrictive covenant to be unenforceable and overbroad.
Prospective Customers and Reasonable Non-solicitation Provisions
Heraeus argued that the covenants not to solicit prospective customers were overbroad and unenforceable as a matter of law. The court rejected that argument, saying there was an "absence of any Indiana authority that prospective customers cannot ever be a protectable interest."
The court then found the particular non-solicitation ban for prospective customers to be reasonable because it included only "active prospects," not all potential customers, and it had a limited duration (a six-month lookback period). As a result, the court affirmed the preliminary injunction pertaining to the ban on soliciting prospective customers.
This clarification of Indiana law is significant. Employers can likely have greater confidence in prospective customer non-solicitation provisions if (1) an employee had contact with or knew confidential information about the prospects and (2) the time periods are reasonable.
The deadline to file any motion to reconsider or petition to transfer has passed, so this decision stands. Below are a few key takeaways from this decision.
Reforming Contracts
As a result of this opinion, Indiana courts may now reform contracts. The court reformed or rewrote an overbroad provision based on contract language giving it that authority, rather than limit any changes to blue penciling (merely excising language). If a contract includes a provision authorizing a court to reform any unreasonable restriction, this case now authorizes a court to do so. Employers might consider including such reformation provisions in restrictive covenants. Practitioners may want to specifically request reformation in the event a court finds a client's restrictive covenant to be unenforceable and overbroad.
Prospective Customers
In addition, the court's decision shows that non-solicitation bans may include prospective customers. The court clarified that a prohibition on soliciting prospective customers with whom an employee had contact is reasonable. This clarified the state of the law and allows agreements to be more restrictive. Employers can be more confident in non-solicitation provisions for prospective customers if an employee had contact with them or had confidential information about them, and if the restricted period is reasonable.
American Consulting, Inc. v. Hannum Wagle & Cline Engineering, Inc.
The next opportunity for the Indiana Supreme Court to weigh in on restrictive covenant law is in the case American Consulting, Inc. v. Hannum Wagle & Cline Engineering, Inc., No.
18S-PL-00437. The Indiana Court of Appeals issued its decision in that case on November 30, 2016. The Indiana Supreme Court accepted transfer, vacating the decision. That case addresses several issues: irreparable harm, reasonable restrictions, laches, and enforceability of extension clauses. The Indiana Supreme Court heard oral argument on October 4, 2018, and a decision remains pending.
Indiana employers will likely want to review their restrictive covenants to ensure they have language authorizing a court to reform an overbroad contract provision. Practitioners can now request and rely on that power, rather than falling back on the limited blue pencil doctrine. Employers can also better protect their prospective customers with non-solicitation provisions as long as the employee had contact with the prospects and the restricted period is reasonable.
California Employers Must Submit Form 300A Data on Federal Online Portal by July 1
According to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), even though California has not adopted its own state rule on the matter, California employers should submit their Form 300A data for 2017 using the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) online portal by July 1, 2018.
High Court Rules Severance Payments Are Taxable
This morning, the Supreme Court of the United States held that severance payments are taxable under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) when made to employees whose employment is involuntarily terminated. The Court reasoned that FICA's definition of wages encompasses severance payments and that the severance at issue in this case, which was not linked
Federal Contractors and Paid Sick Leave: The DOL Issues an NPRM
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has released its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to implement Executive Order 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. The NPRM (currently 286 pages in length) will be published in the Federal Register on Thursday, February 25, 2016, and allows for a brief comment period of only 30 days. Final DOL regulations are due by September 30, 2016, after which the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council will have to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to incorporate the paid sick leave obligations into the required government contracts.

'Mysterious deaths' being probed in Nigeria's Kano
Nigerian Authorities are investigating "mysterious deaths" occurred in recent days in the state of Kano, as the country is fighting the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, an official said.
"Over the past week there have been reports of mysterious deaths in our great Kano State and I'm here to assure everyone that investigations are already ongoing," Kano's Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje said on Twitter on Monday.
"Autopsies are still being carried out but so far there's been nothing to suggest that they are linked with #COVID19," Ganduje said.
Last Tuesday, the Daily Trust newspaper had reported that around 150 people died in Kano over the past five days, prompting investigations to determine whether they were related to COVID-19.
On Wednesday, the governor denied that Kano had recorded any "strange" deaths in the wake of the deadly pandemic, according to the Premium Times local website.
Ganduje's comments on Monday sparked reactions on Twitter.
"Please tell the truth, at what point did you carry out Autopsy? These are Muslims and most of them died at home and were buried almost immediately according to Islamic injunction. Again I asked at what point was Autopsy conducted Mr. Gandola?," a Twitter user questioned.
"How do you perform an autopsy on buried bodies? Did you exhume them?" another user commented.
The Nigerian authorities have confirmed 1,337 COVID-19 cases, and 40 deaths from the deadly contagious disease, according to the U.S.-based Johns Hopkins University.

Lot 35. A rare large cloisonné enamel 'fish' basin, Qing dynasty, Qianlong period (1736-1795); 62 cm, 24 3/8 in. Estimate £150,000 - £200,000. Courtesy Sotheby's.
the deep flaring sides rising from a flat base to an everted gilt keyfret rim, decorated to the interior with brightly enamelled carp, small fish, toads and crustaceans swimming amidst aquatic plants, all reserved against a rich turquoise-blue ground, the exterior decorated with a herd of deer and a flock of cranes in a rocky landscape, the base with florets reserved on a rich dark-blue ground.
Provenance: An American private collection.
Sotheby's New York, 1st/2nd December 1992, lot 167.
Christie's Hong Kong, 30th May 2012, lot 3910.
Exhibited: High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia, exhibited on loan 1973-1992.
Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach, Florida, exhibited on loan, 2007-2012.
Note: né enamel during the Qianlong period (r. 1736-1795). During his reign, the palette was expanded to more than twenty opaque colours, enabling craftsmen to compose lavish and visually appealing designs, as seen on the present vessel. The clever use of the gilt bronze cloisons in depicting the waters and clouds endows a further sense of lavishness while emphasising the lively movements of the brightly enamelled fish.
Compare a closely related example in the Pierre Uldry collection, included in the exhibition Chinesisches Cloisonné. Die Sammlung Pierre Uldry, Rietberg Museum, Zurich, 1985, cat. no. 322; two sold at Christie's Paris, one from the Juan Jose Amezaga et Maria Dolores Feijoo collection, 7th December 2007, lot 38, and the other, 9th June 2015, lot 58; another sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30th May 2018, lot 3039; and a fifth example, sold at Christie's London, 5th December 1994, lot 258. See also a related basin, but the exterior predominantly decorated in white, from the Avery Brundage collection and now in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco, included in the exhibition Cloisonné. Chinese Enamels from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture, New York, 2011, cat. no. 113; and another from the C. Ruxton and Audrey B. Love collection, sold at Christie's New York, 20th October 2004, lot 611.
The dazzling scenes on the present vessel are rich in auspicious symbolism. The idyllic landscapes on the exterior depicting cranes (lu), deer (he), and gnarled pine trees, all popular emblems of long life, create the phrase helu tongchun (May husband and wife enjoy longevity together); while the interior scene of boldly coloured fish (yu), a symbol of abundance, swimming in water (shui) form the rebus yushui hexie (May you be as harmonious as fish and water).

In some quarters, Lincoln is remembered as the savior of the Republic, a secular saint or even a messiah: the son of the fathers who was sent into the world to carry out a mission for which he took an assassin's bullet on Good Friday in 1865. Lincoln, however, rarely appealed to the Savior's authority in his letters, orations, and public documents. A search of Lincoln's collected works uncovers over 300 invocations of God (and hundreds more if we include terms like "Almighty" or "Creator"), but few even indirect references to Jesus.
In his debates with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln did quote Matthew 5:48—"As your Father in heaven is perfect, be ye also perfect"—but only as a metaphor to argue that the Declaration of Independence should operate as Scripture for the American political order, as a standard to approximate in public life even if it cannot be fully realized this side of heaven. "So I say in relation to the principle that all men are created equal, let it be as nearly reached as we can," Lincoln insisted. The other famous quote from Jesus that appears repeatedly in those debates with Douglas is that a "house divided against itself cannot stand," a Gospel reference Lincoln used to underscore the impossibility of maintaining republican government that is half slave and half free.
As Lincoln knew well, America's civil or political religion has long taken its bearings from God the Creator, known by reason rather than revelation. Does this mean, as the subtitle of Matthew Stewart's recent book Nature's God suggests, that the American Republic was built on foundations that are heretical to Christianity? Stewart is just one among many scholars who see the God of Abraham and the God of Nature as rival and mutually exclusive deities that rest on rival and mutually exclusive narratives about human nature and human destiny. In Stewart's interpretation, the God of Nature is the god of the philosophers, a pantheistic being indistinguishable from nature.
Must one who believes in a personal God who stands outside of creation and who reveals himself as the "I AM"—as the very ground of being—therefore part ways with the American founding on account of its alleged deification of nature? If Stewart were right, perhaps, but he is not. To understand why it is helpful to look at the question from the perspective of the Reformed theological tradition in which many of the founders were educated.
As Stephen Grabill notes in his important book Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics, first and second generation reformers "developed increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive formulations of natural law that they situated in the wider context of the great moral tradition with Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Scotus, and many others." Central to Reformed doctrines of natural law was the doctrine of the duplex cognitio dei, or the twofold knowledge of God, discussed at length in the first books of Calvin's Institutes and elaborated upon by subsequent theologians. Calvin taught that all human beings have knowledge of God the Creator, but that it is only by revelation that we have knowledge of God the Redeemer.
It should be no surprise, then, to see committed Christians among the founders joining their more skeptical and heterodox colleagues in a project to establish political rule that approximates, so far as it can, natural justice. The basic natural-law framework carried into Reformation theology from the medieval scholastics gives Christian theological warrant for affirming allegiance to a political regime that is founded on the self-evident truths in the Declaration of Independence. That regime, which takes its bearings from the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God and sets natural justice as the goal and rule and limit of all laws, also (and for just this reason) protects a sphere outside of politics where men and women can worship God the Redeemer according to the dictates of conscience and the judgment of reason informed by revelation.


Wow! Who could believe that more than a month has gone by since we first got back to school? We had an awesome time visiting our animal friends at the Bronx Zoo this past week and pondered the ethical dilemma if whether or not they belong there. We will be thinking about this and actually do an in-depth investigation on this issue soon. Wasn't Ms. Fleischman's presentation on the orangutans of Borneo fascinating? We will definitely be "adopting" an orangutan for our class. Hopefully, our class service learning endeavor of raising awareness and money for endangered primates will take place shortly. I was very impressed by your powerpoint presentations and the work you all did investigating the primates and the masterful comparisons you made. We will now take our findings and published them in a compare and contrast essay.
Our election unit is getting into full gear. This is a very exciting time of year as the race towards the White House heats up. Who do you think the better candidate is and why? Which issue is most relevant to your life and who supports your perspective? We will explore this more and continue reading the hysterical satire, "The Kid Who Ran for President" and continue learning more about how the president is elected. Please keep reading Time for Kids and Nick News. It is important we stay up to date on current events and the "stuff" that affects us. In social studies, We will also start exploring explorers of the western hemisphere shortly.
Did you enjoy creating your decimal math game? Hope we continue to have time to try out our marvelous math creations. We will continue to have math talks, pursue in-depth problem solving and other exciting enrichment activities in unit 2: multi-digit and whole number-decimal/fraction operations.
Are you enjoying learning about figurative language? Isn't it fun looking at song lyrics and poetry to see how writers incorporate similes, metaphors, personification and imagery into their writing? We saw that it is used in literature as well (like in the vignette, "Four Skinny Trees" from the House on Mango Street. You should all be working on your essays that are based on the book and compare it to another text you have read. Did you enjoy writing and illustrating your own extended metaphors? We will share them soon.

Over 150 attendees, ranging from local residents, to nonprofit professionals, to artists and executives joined us for this inaugural event at the beautiful Carnegie Museum of Art in Oakland. The event was created to be a platform for honoring and lifting up the people and organizations who are working hard every day to build healthy neighborhoods across Pittsburgh, and that's just what it did.
Using Neighborhood Allies' Healthy Neighborhoods Framework as the inspiration for this event, six awards were given in the following categories–Market Confidence, Quality of Life, Neighborhood Image, Community Ownership, Equitable Development, and Ally of the Year. Each award was accompanied by a short video, highlighting the awardees work and how they are contributing to building Healthy Neighborhoods. We also celebrated the 2nd cohort of graduates of our Real Estate Co-Powerment Series with a mini ceremony, and showcased the artists and projects from our Temporary Public Art & Placemaking Program, as part of the celebration event.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make this event a great success–to our awardees, for your dedication and hard work; to all of attendees and allies who spent the afternoon with us and support our mission in so many ways; and, to our event sponsors–especially our Presenting Sponsor, PNC Bank, for your generous support!

At our house, we celebrate Advent as its own season. We move the pieces or open the windows on a few Advent calendars. We also continue the tradition of reading from the Advent storybook I had as a kid. It's a Little Golden Book, and all sensibility would say all the kids and certainly the grown ones are way, way too old for such a thing. The book comes with a paperboard calendar in which you open a window each day to reveal a small picture. December 1 is a dark cloud, because the Prophet Isaiah predicted a time of darkness before the light came into the world because unto us a son would be born.
Further on, the calendar has a picture of a bunch of grapes, because the story says grapes were hanging heavy on the vine waiting for the prophecy of Christ's birth.
Out in the world, children are obviously waiting for the magic and wonder of Christmas to come. Will Santa Claus respond in kind to my letter (don't forget to get your letters in to our mailbox here at the Estherville News!)? Will we see the good cousins over vacation? Will there be enough snow for sledding without it growing wet, sloppy and muddy?
I'm waiting for the rush and busyness of work at my jobs to slow down so I can enjoy the season and bring in the new year with my loved ones. I'm waiting for the day after Thanksgiving so we can start playing Christmas music at home. We have to wait, because I laid down this law years ago that Christmas music and decorations happen only between Friday after Thanksgiving and January 6, the day of Epiphany. Okay, maybe Epiphany Sunday if it's a couple of days later. But that's it.
I'm still waiting to hear what I feel is that terrible song, "The Christmas Shoes," for the first time. I know it will happen almost as soon as my kids start streaming the radio station that plays Christmas music a lot. I promised after blathering on about the best Christmas movies just before the parade of lights that I would entertain you later by listing some of the best (in my opinion) holiday music.
As with music throughout the year, my favorite at any time depends upon my mood, and I believe that's a common thing. For when I'm looking at the Christmas lights, allowing the awe and wonder of the season to sink in, I like a lot of things from Mannheim Steamroller: "Still, still, still," the more peppy "Joy to the World," and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Allison Krauss does a haunting version of, "In the Bleak Midwinter," I found on YouTube. Also on my video playlist is the end of the "Charlie Brown Christmas" when they all sing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" around Charlie's little tree. When I'm missing people and need to cheer up, Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus is coming to town" is fantastic. The last few years, I've discovered the Stanley Brothers on YouTube. They are actually three brothers and their sister, and their quartet did a version of "The Friendly Beasts" that includes a nerd, all pasty and white, that cracks me up every time. The Stanley Brothers have also teamed up with some other sibling musical groups to make a fantastic big band performance of "Rudolph, the red-nosed Reindeer." If I had to name my all-time favorite Christmas carol, it has to be "The First Noel." If you want to weigh in on favorite Christmas music, comment here or email me.
I'm also waiting to attend the upcoming beautiful holiday events, to taste/inspect any baked goods and other treats for which you need a discerning opinion (call me!) and to still be part of thrilling my children, nieces and nephews and other loved ones with at least one or two of the desires of their hearts.
We are going to start a newer tradition called Advent Conspiracy. There are videos on YouTube to explain more, but it basically talks about how you can make a real difference in the world by spending somewhat less on gifts and decorations and swag at Christmas, to free up a few more dollars for giving. I have given once to my brother's cause of feeding hundreds of homeless on Thanksgiving Day in Des Moines through his restaurants.
I will give again, and hope everyone will consider planning a charitable gift or two on Giving Tuesday coming up. If we're going to dream of Peace on Earth, which seems very hard to do in these times, I think it starts with having a generous heart.
If you've read this far, give yourself a high-five.
I hope you found a lot to be thankful for and that you still believe in the wonder of the season.

The Village Carolers – 2018 Appearance on "The Kitchen".
"In one word: incredible. At the time we had contacted The Village Carolers, our family had just come across some very trying and emotional times. In order to make it a special Christmas and bring the family close, we called upon Michael & Suzanne to make our family gathering a magical one. And The Village Carolers delivered on every front. They arrived on time, dressed the part, and exhibited nothing but exceptional personality, preparedness, quality, and professionalism. Their a cappella singing was exceptional, with beautiful harmonies and perfect pitch. Prior to the event, we had provided The Village Carolers with our selection of preferred songs from their repertoire, and they timed their performance perfectly to make sure every song was (beautifully) sung within the contracted time. Michael & Suzanne are absolutely lovely people who have a passion for their craft, and it shows in every conversation, every dealing, every piece of costume, and every note sung. If you desire quality and true artistry, then The Village Carolers are what you seek. As for our family, we experienced the true meaning of Christmas and filled our hearts with the magic of caroling for one night that we will never, ever forget." — Dan C.

All drivers must comply with British minimum age requirements; generally, these are 17 years of age for cars and motorcycles, 18 years for medium sized vehicles and 21 years for large lorries and buses. You may drive provided your full licence remains valid. You can drive any category of small vehicle shown on your licence for up to 12 months from the time you became a resident. To ensure continuous driving entitlement a provisional GB licence must have been obtained and a driving test(s) passed before the 12-month period elapses. If you do not apply for a provisional licence within the first 12 months you must stop driving and obtain a British provisional licence with a view to passing a driving test. Failure to take this action will invoke your original licence invalid, as is the insurance cover.
The driving test consists of a theory examination, which must be taken before the practical road test. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency can provide further information and answer enquiries.
If seatbelts are fitted in any car that you are travelling in, then by law the driver and all passengers must wear them. Children under 3 years old travelling in the front seat must be carried in an appropriate child restraint. If a child restraint is fitted in the front of the car but not the back, then children under 3 must use that restraint. The driver is responsible for ensuring that children under 14 wear seatbelts.
It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle when the level of alcohol in your breath, blood or urine exceeds the legal limit. There is no safe guide to how much you can drink and stay under the legal limit. The only safe guide is: DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
The UK still operates a 6-month quarantine rule for the importation of all animals except from certain European Community countries. You should obtain further advice before you move to UK.
The UK has a temperature climate with marked changes between winter, spring, summer and autumn seasons. In general, temperatures increase and rainfall decreases as you travel from north Scotland to the Isle of Wight in the south. The varying effects of polar, arctic and tropical air, and of the relatively warm Atlantic waters to the west, make the weather notoriously difficult to forecast accurately.
Winters can see temperatures lower than -5 °C, while summers may bring temperatures in the 30 °C range in the south. The mean annual average temperature difference between north and south is only 3 °C (8 °C in the north, 11 °C in the south).
The inconsistency of the weather makes it a major conversation opener here in the UK. It also makes it difficult to know how best to dress when going out. Whatever time of year you arrive here in the UK, bring a waterproof jacket and a jumper.
The UK has a diverse culture, consisting of several minority ethnic origins from around the world. The main food shops cater predominantly for the British palette, however many smaller retailers specialise in worldwide foods. These can easily be sought within your local area.
It is possible that you may experience some mild forms of stomach upset with a sudden change of diet. If you do experience any such discomfort do not hesitate to speak to your doctor (GP) or Medical Officer.
You are strongly advised to keep all doors and windows locked when not in the house. Thieves and burglars will take any opportunity to enter a property deemed 'an easy target'. Further security information and guidance should be sought from your local Crime Reduction Police Officer located at the Ministry of Defence Police.
It is a crime to carry a knife or other weapon in a public place.
It is a crime to purchase alcohol for a person under 18 years of age.
The police prevent and investigate crime and protect life and property. They work closely with communities to ensure everyone's safety. They take racist crime extremely seriously and treat victims of any crime with sympathy and understanding.
If you want to know more contact your local Police Station (their details are in any local phone book) under 'Police'.
NPFS in conjunction with the Naval Chaplaincy Service hold a directory of local & national multi faith contact points. For further information please do not hesitate to contact either your local NPFS office or your Chaplain.
Banking - There will be a need for you and your spouse to open a bank or building society account as most wages are paid automatically. Most of the 'high street' banks and building societies will accept you as a new customer providing you have proof of identity, employment and fixed address. NPFS can provide supportive letters to assist in this where necessary. Once you have your account set up you will be able to pay many of your utility (gas, electricity, telephone etc) by direct debit, which in most circumstances works out to be a cheaper option.
Loans - Borrowing money in the UK has become extremely easy to achieve. However interest rates and repayment terms will vary considerably. You are strongly urged that if you decide to take on a loan that you should seek advice before entering into any credit agreement. Further advice and information regarding loans, debts and managing money can be sought from you NPFS office or Divisional Officer. The Navy does not provide loans.
Value Added Tax (VAT) - There is a Government value added tax of 17.5% which is added to the purchase price of most household and personal items. Advertised prices will normally include VAT. If in doubt you are advised to ask.
Phone: Dial: 999/112 - You will need to clearly state which service you require.

Lost in Space Season 3: Everything We Know So Far
Here's what we know so far about Lost In Space Season 3.
By Sumera Bijani
Not long after the second season of the sci-fi TV series Lost in Space dropped, it's not exactly out of the question for fans to expect the third one already. But is there one already in the works? If so, what's the release date? What can we expect the plot to be like going forward? Which cast members are apprising the roles, and which ones are making their debut? The answers to all those questions have been carefully laid out in this no-frills article.
What's the Premise of 'Lost in Space'?
The story of 'Lost in Space' revolves around the Robinson family who was chosen to go on a mission aboard an interstellar spacecraft known as the Resolute to colonize the Alpha Centauri star system following an impact event that threatens the existence of humanity.
Unfortunately, their ship gets intersected by an alien robot, forcing the Robinsons as well as a group of other colonists to abandon ship and crash near a planet that was fortunately habitable for human beings. Now the colonists must endure the challenges of the surroundings of their new strange temporary homeworld has for them so they can make it back to their spaceship safe and sound.
Spoiler Warning! Please be advised that if you haven't caught up with the second season yet, or even the entire show, we suggest you stop reading this guide from this point on as the content is riddled with a plethora of spoilers.
What Happened in Season 2?
In Season 2, the Robinsons finally located the interstellar spacecraft that they lost at the start of the series, the Resolute. However, the family encountered a series of threats, especially an attack from a band of robots as well as a potential attack from what seems like hundreds of crafts. Once the attack was averted for a short while, John and Maureen Robinson decided to split with their children, and have Judy pilot the Jupiter 2, which consisted of children, and head back to Alpha Centauri.
Back over at the Resolute, it looked as if the Robinson folks were looking forward to their eventual demise until all of a sudden, Scarecrow – the helpful robot – swoon right in the nick of time to save their lives.
Then came the finale where the Jupiter picks up a radio signal to what could possibly be from an Alpha Centauri colony. But upon closer inspection, the children realized that a cataclysmic event had already taken place and that the most shocked out of all of them was Judy.
Has Season 3 Been Confirmed?
As of this writing, there has been no official word from streaming giant Netflix as to whether or not we will get a Season 3 for Lost in Space in the future. However, given the drama and how captivating the story is been so far, it isn't out of the realm of possibility for Netflix to take advantage of those viewership statistics to grant friends their wishes by continuing the story further on.
But even if a third season were to be confirmed right now, it probably wouldn't drop on Netflix in a couple of months given the timeline of the last two seasons: Season 1, for instance, premiered back in April 2018 whereas Season 2 just aired on December 24 in 2019. But this is to be expected given how much investment goes into the resources of the show's special-effects team. In fact, if we're being really honest with you, we're not even sure whether or not the third season will grace our digital monitors by 2020.
Let's assume that even if the show's production for the third season is complete by, let's say, April 2020, it's possible that we could see the next chapter sometime in early 2021. But true fans of the series know how hard the crew behind the show works and how much time goes into every little detail to make the show as good as it should be. Such fans are in no rush for Season 3 to come around and are more than willing to wait for a finished product of top-quality rather than a half baked one.
What Can We Expect of Season 3's Plot?
From the finale, Judy and the rest of the kids learned that the signal had led them to a space vesselr called the Fortuna that mysteriously disappeared 20 years ago. What's more, it also happens to be the same ship that Grant Kelly, Judy's biological father, once piloted. But along with that discovery, the evil Doctor Smith's scarf happens to be spotted on the Jupiter 2.
If or when there is a Season 3, John and Maureen will go over to look for their kids and use the Jupiter 2 to do some more exploring of the unknown region. The family will also likely be encountering and exploring new planets.
Cowriter Matt Sazama reportedly speaks on the future of the series by saying:
"I mean you know [the] Robinson family will go on forever. But the story that we started with [the] pilot with the robots and everything else we want to have, we know what the ending is."
He assures fans that there will be a "satisfying conclusion" to the story as there are many more that will unravel going forward. He appreciates how there is a clear story that starts showing up once we got to see Will from the first season's pilot.
When Can We Expect a Trailer for Season 3?
Well since Season 3 has yet to be confirmed or hasn't even gone into production, there really isn't any type of teaser, much less a trailer that we can share with you. We thought that we were going to get something at the 2019 New York Comic Con, but we got nothing.
However, once we get a read on something, we will immediately update this page. We also advise you to bookmark this page just so you get first dibs on the latest bit of details that concern Lost in Space's third season.

Justice League of America, i Sverige även känd under namnet Lagens väktare, är en amerikansk tecknad serie. I serien samarbetar ett antal av  superhjältar från DC Comics. Grundarna och de första medlemmarna av Justice League var Superman, Batman, Wonder woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Martian Manhunter och Aquaman. Gruppen debuterade 1960 i tidningen The Brave and the Bold #28 där de stred mot utomjordingen Starro Erövraren.  Justice League har sitt högkvarter i The Watchtower som ligger i Jordens omloppsbana. Det är där de möts inför nya uppdrag och tränar. De har rum för medlemmarna och deras gäster.

Flera versioner av denna serie har förekommit under namn som Justice League International, Justice League Europe, Justice League Task Force, Extreme Justice och Justice League Antarctica. I slutet av 1980-talet delades Justice League of America upp i två olika grupper: Justice League Europe (senare åter International) och Justice League America. Dessa båda hade varsin serietidning som publicerades samtidigt. En filmatisering av seriekonceptet är under produktion och är planerat att ha premiär den 17 november 2017 under titeln Justice League.

Bakgrund
Justice League of America har haft många ursprungsberättelser. En av de första handlade om att gruppen skulle rädda jorden från utomjordingar som kallades "Appellaxianer", vilka invaderade jorden. Då samarbetade superhjältarna tillsammans för att besegra dem. Justice League Origins volume 1 som publicerades år 2013 är en del av The New 52. Det är nya berättelser där Earth-0 blir introducerat. Här presenterades på nytt hjältar som till exempel Superman och Batman med reviderade bakgrundberättelser. Även Justice Leagues ursprungsberättelse presenterades igen. I den här versionen möttes Superman, Batman, Wonder woman, Green Lantern, Flash och Aquaman när deras fiende Darkseid attackerade jorden. Efter att ha blivit allvarligt skadad i attacken, blev unge Vic Stone senare Cyborg. Han anslöt sig sedan till Justice League. Justice League of Americas ursprung har berättats i många olika versioner.

Under silvereran av DC Comics, då superhjältar som Flash och Green Lantern blev återskapade, skapades även ett nytt team av superhjältar. Justice League of America är en återskapad version av Justice Society of America. Dessa två grupper lever parallellt med varandra i olika världar. De två grupperna möttes för första gången i Crisis on Earth-one! och Crisis on Earth-two!  i Justice League of America volume 1 #21-22 1963.

Fiender
Justice League of America har bekämpat många olika fiender, men deras största fiender är Darkseid, Secret Society of Super-Villains och Crime Syndicate of America. Darkseid var den fiende som enade Justice League of America i Justice League Origin volume 1. Secret Society of Super-Villians skapades av Darkseid för att bekämpa superhjältar som Justice League of America. Crime Syndicate of America är en ond version av Justice League of America på Earth-3.

Svensk publicering
Lagens Väktare publicerades för första gången i Sverige i tidningen Gigant nummer 2/65, och denna tidning förblev seriens huvudsakliga svenska hem i nära 20 år. Vissa avsnitt publicerades även i svenska Stålmannen. Det sista avsnittet publicerades i Gigant nr 4/84. Figurernas namn översattes här till svenska.

År 1988 fick den uppfräschade versionen av Keith Giffen/J.M. DeMatteis/Kevin Maguire premiär i Månadens äventyr och fortsatte i den kortlivade serietidningen DC-serier. Därefter fick denna superhjältegrupp nöja sig med korta gästspel i Stålmannen, innan även den tidningen lades ner 1991.

År 2001 gjorde Egmont en nysatsning på nordiskt samtryck för serier från DC Comics, och som ett led i detta gav man ut den tjocka färgtidningen Justice League of America (eller JLA, kort och gott). Äventyren hämtades från Grant Morrisons tid på serien, men tidningen lades ner efter bara fyra nummer – kanske för att inga unga serieläsare idag vet vilka dessa figurer är. Det här var dock första gången som figurerna gick under sina engelska originalnamn.

Q: Insertar valores de múltiples checkbox secuencialmente en la Base de Datos MYSQL Buenas tardes chicos espero me puedan ayudar con lo siguiente, me disculpo de antemano por no poner un fiddle con una prueba replicable, si me dan una guía de como hacerlo actualizaría el post con gusto, todo para hacerlo lo más resumido posible.
Necesito que al tildar diferentes checkbox a la vez de una lista de productos, me almacene los valores de los codigos de barra de dichos productos en registros diferentes de la base de datos, por lo que la salida deseada sería así.
Tabla acsi_posprecios
ID | ID_LISTA | CODIGOBARRAS
1       1           0001
2       1           0002

El HTML sería una tabla con la lista de productos traída de la base de datos
<form id="form" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="form" name="frmActualizaPreciosLista" method="post" action="dist/rest/cnt_rest.php?opc=13&i=<?php echo $rowProducts["ID"][$j]; ?>">

                DESC.CORTA

                PROD/SERV

                CÓD BARRAS

        <?php
/// ESTA QUERY DEBE TRAERSE LOS PRODUCTOS, CON LOS CAMPOS SOLICITADOS PARA DESPUÉS PROCEDER A ACTUALIZARLOS EN LAS CORRESPONDIENTES TABLAS.
$sqlBuscaProductosTablaN = ""; // Aquí debe ir su query para traerse los productos
$resBuscaProductosTablaN = mysqli_query($link,$sqlBuscaProductosTablaN);
while($filaListaAmbasProdTablaN = mysqli_fetch_array($resBuscaProductosTablaN)){?>

                <?php echo $filaListaAmbasProdTablaN["DESCRIPCION_CORTA"]; ?>

                <?php echo $filaListaAmbasProdTablaN["PRODSERV"]; ?>

                <?php echo $filaListaAmbasProdTablaN["CODIGOBARRAS"]; ?>

                            <input type="checkbox" class="flat-red"  name="check_prod[]" value="<?php echo $filaListaAmbasProdTablaN["CODIGOBARRAS"];?>" id="editarPrecioPromocional">

        <?php

            }
        ?>

                DESC.CORTA

                PROD/SERV

                CÓD BARRAS

</form>

Y... el controlador para insertar los productos lo tengo así.
   //************************************************************************************************************************** OPC = 13
    if($opc == '13'){
    //AGREGAR ITEM DE TABLA DE LISTA DE PROMOCIONES - PRODUCTOS Y PRECIOS DE DESCUENTO - VIGENCIA DE LAS LISTAS

        $idLista = $_GET['i'];
        $flag = true;
        $fecha = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
        $txtUser = $_SESSION['usuario'];
        $empresa = $_SESSION['empresa'];

         // ES ESTA PARTE DEL SCRIPT LA QUE NO HE PODIDO DESCIFRAR PARA HACER EL INSERT SECUENCIALMENTE :/
        $checkListaHasItems = $_POST["check_prod"][0];
        // $precio = $_POST['precio'][0];

        $sqlInserta = "INSERT INTO acsi_posprecios (ID_LISTA, CODIGOBARRAS, AUDIT_FECHA, AUDIT_USER, EMPRESA, ELIMINADO)
                       VALUES ('".$idLista."',
                               '$checkListaHasItems',
                               '".$fecha."',
                               '".$txtUser."',
                                '".$empresa."',
                               '0'
                        )";
            $result = mysqli_query($link,$sqlInserta);

            $sqlModificaListas = "UPDATE acsi_poslistapromociones SET HAS_PROMO_PRICE_PRODUCTS = 1, AUDIT_USERMOD = '$txtUser', AUDIT_FECHAMOD = '$fecha' WHERE ID = ".$idLista;

            $result2 = mysqli_query($link, $sqlModificaListas);

            //Segunda Insert

            if (!$result) {
                $flag = false;
                $err = mysqli_error($link);
                header('Location: ../../p_cfgPriceList.php?opc=NOQUERY1&er='.$sql);
            }

            if (!$result2) {
                $flag = false;
                $err = mysqli_error($link);
                header('Location: ../../p_cfgPriceList.php?opc=NOQUERY2&er='.$err);
            }

            if ($flag) {
                mysqli_commit($link);

                addLog("MD - CONFIGURACIONES > LISTAS-PROMOCIONALES", "El usuario $_SESSION[nombre] modificó los datos de una Lista : $txtNombre");
                header('Location: ../../p_cfgPriceList.php?opc=OKact');

            } else {
                mysqli_rollback($link);

            }

    }

Cualquier duda, correción o consejos estoy atento, gracias de antemano por su paciencia.

A: Ya encontré la respuesta... jajaja. abajo la adjunto con las instrucciones por sí alguien llega a tener un problema similar.
Primero hay que colocar un contador al array del checkbox en HTML e iniciar la variable al principio del while que itera los productos.
Comienzo del ciclo while:
 <?php while($rowProducts = mysqli_fetch_array($resBuscaTodo)){$j=0; $idP = 0;?>

            <input type="checkbox" class="flat-red"  name="check_prod[<?php echo $idP; ?>]" value="<?php echo $filaListaAmbasProdTablaN["CODIGOBARRAS"];?>" id="editarPrecioPromocional">

 <?php $idP++; ?>
<?php
 }
?>

Y en el controlador.... mediante un foreach le asignamos el name como key.
foreach($_POST['check_prod'] as $key => $product) {

            $productos = $_POST['check_prod'][$key];
            $sqlInserta = "INSERT INTO acsi_posprecios (ID_LISTA, CODIGOBARRAS, AUDIT_FECHA, AUDIT_USER, EMPRESA, ELIMINADO)
                   VALUES ('".$idLista."',
                           '$productos',
                           '".$fecha."',
                           '".$txtUser."',
                            '".$empresa."',
                           '0'
                    )";
            $result = mysqli_query($link,$sqlInserta);
        }

Saludos amigos, disculpen la molestia.

Q: Find the optimum sequence of keyboard hits to produce the most repeated characters You are provided with four possible operations that can be done on the editor (each operation requires one keyboard hit).

*

*A

*Ctrl+A

*Ctrl+C

*Ctrl+V

Now you can hit the keyboard N times and you need to find the maximum number of A's that can be printed. Also print the sequence of keyboard hits.

A: Googled for the answer:
http://podlipensky.com/post/2011/02/07/Sundays-puzzle.aspx

A: Off of the top of my head...
A single A followed by iterations of Ctrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+V, where each iteration doubles the size of the text, starting at 1 character, then 2, then 4, then 8, etc.
So given N keystrokes, you can produce at most 2(N-1)/4 characters.
I suspect that this is not the optimal (minimal) number of keystrokes, though. (I have not yet read the answer posted by @David.)


Why not try Dragons Den?
At least they have the money to 'invest'.
Just to clarify my point a bit: the only people who can return 2.8 mil on 350k are Ponzi scheme scam artists like Bernie Madoff.
Promising something like that is either misleading potential investors (not that people on this site generally have that kind of money) OR there's a Ponzi scheme involved, which is fraud.
OR you're deluding yourself, which I admit is also a possibility.
If that's the case, then you're right, it's not a scam. Just not possible.
This really doesn't belong on a film making forum.
and why wouldnt this belong here people that automatically assume that film neccesarily has to have actors and contain a story line really annoy me.
this is my plan for my future it would give many film students a chance for a small income and get something down on theyr cv. so yeah its a long term buisness plan to make many small budget films with student all around the world that would need high investment for promotion and cost to individual film makers. and with the right ammount of diverse content of a certain type aimed at a certain audience i belive it would be retevaly easy to get 4-5 million $1 per year subscribers to the service withing 3-4 years. by the time 9-12 months pass the innitial investment was spent i would pray im right and have 50-60k subscribers which would practically all be reinvested in promoting the buisness online. Yes the numbers are anbitious but it also does rather sound rediciulous when you hear things like Facebook Buying Oculus Virtual-Reality Company for $2 Billion. Which is where i would like my work to one day go to. But yeah i bet whovere first invested in oculus really would have been scepticall about this ever becoming a reality. With high reinvestment during the first 2.5 year i belive i could achive that with the peopl i have assembled along the way really all just ready to work but we are simply trying to get this funding together so apropiate doesnt really fall under any category for us i belive there could be a investor on here can really offend you i dont think.
Well, if a film doesn't have a story line, what makes it a film?
Nothing. I really hope no one is dumb enough to throw their money at this scheme.
well your both thick as poop then! no constructive criticism from anyone either. i still big brains working hard its really entertaining like your productions probably are.
thanks for sweet FA in regards to your comments i will one day have my project going and when i do you will get a warm welcome should you wish to ever unmount your high horses.
this is about getting film students working and some cash flow and making some cash whilst they could even still be in their studies and your not at least intrested well done great attitudes from everyone involved.
