In the television series, The Big Bang Theory, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) are both brilliant physicists working at CalTech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their CalTech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny (Kaley Cuoco) to be his girlfriend. The Big Bang Theory: Season 5 is available on DVD in a 3 disc box set. The fifth season of The Big Bang Theory settles into a solid, enjoyable groove. The original quintet of four nerds and a pretty girl has been complemented by two nerd girls, creating a dynamic social world that retains all the social awkwardness needed for comic effect. Much of the season revolves around relationships: Howard (Simon Helberg) is engaged to Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), though that bond is tested by ...

Fifteen years after the historic 10th anniversary concert, the international musical sensation Les Misérables returned for a 25th anniversary concert at London's O2 Arena in October 2010. Like the previous concert, it presents an all-star cast, this time taken from two different 2010 London productions as well as the original 1985 cast. The singers stand at microphones wearing costumes, backed by a huge chorus and three video screens showing some action that can't be represented on stage, though the stage is transformed into a set for some key scenes, such as in the Thénardiers' bar and at the barricade. And as it has for 25 years, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of post-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home")...

Clockwork Orange, A: Special Edition (BD)]]> Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary. We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it. --Bryan Reesman

I only discovered Cloak recently, after wasting a ton of time trying to roll my own VPN to keep myself safe abroad, and was blown away by how easy it is.
Put simply, Cloak creates a VPN on WiFi networks that aren't familiar so that your Web browsing is encrypted and secure on both iPhone and Mac.
If you're using open or free WiFi at a cafe, airport or any other public place, you're at risk of people eavesdropping on your connection so you should be using something to ensure nobody can snoop.
Cloak automatically detects if the network you're on is trusted, and if it isn't a secure VPN connection is created automatically.
It's a heaven-send for people who can't be bothered or wouldn't remember to enable a VPN every time they're on insecure WiFi connections, and can even be set to encrypt your mobile data connection.
Snooping from people looking to steal your data isn't the only thing you should be worried about — some countries, such as the Netherlands, require ISPs to collect and store the websites you visit for up to 12 months — using Cloak also protects against that.
Cloak offers a free trial, then starts at $2.99 per month for 5 GB of data which is well worth it for your privacy and security.


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Green Party of the United States strongly condemned President Trump's executive orders, announced on Wednesday, imposing severe immigration restrictions, expanding the criminalization and deportation of undocumented immigrants, and authorizing construction of a massive border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Greens urged all Americans to reject the "Trump Wall of Shame" and to stand up for the basic rights of documented and undocumented immigrants, racial justice, protected legal status and amnesty for the undocumented, and hospitality for refugees.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green Party leaders and activists expressed appreciation for President Obama's pardons for Oscar Lopez Rivera and Chelsea Manning and urged him to use his final days in office to pardon other political prisoners and whistle-blowers.
Greens called for presidential pardons for political prisoners Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abdul Jamal, as well as whistle-blowers Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jeffrey Sterling, and all others who were punished or face punishment for revealing military, government, and intelligence crimes, public deception, and corruption.
Those convicted for whistle-blowing or for political reasons and have already served their sentences should have their criminal records expunged, said Green Party leaders.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green Party leaders said that the Republican plan to repeal Obamacare, Medicare, and Medicaid should motivate Americans to demand Single-Payer national health care ("Medicare For All").
Greens asserted that making health care a right for all Americans -- instead of saving Obamacare -- should be among the demands that are front and center at the Inauguration Day protests next week.
The Green Party of the United States has endorsed Occupy Inauguration and Greens are preparing to participate in events planned for Jan. 20 and Jan. 21.
A gathering of Greens from all over Ohio. We'll be discussing upcoming campaigns, next steps, organizing your local Parties, and more.

Issue 404 September 2013
As autoflight system managers, Flight Crews are responsible for entering correct information into the flight management system, selecting the appropriate flight mode and monitoring the aircraft's compliance with the desired flight path. As pilots, Flight Crews must maintain situational awareness, stay ahead of the aircraft, use good judgment, make sound decisions based upon training and experience, and do whatever is necessary (within the constraints of good airmanship) to put the airplane where it is supposed to be. These responsibilities apply not only to air carrier and corporate crews, but with the growing use of automation, to general aviation pilots as well.
This CALLBACK presents a few recent reports in which Air Carrier Flight Crews and a General Aviation Pilot share some lessons learned regarding automation issues. In addition, an Air Traffic Controller's report shows that automation issues are not limited to aircraft systems.
Two Cases of Complacency
Proper use of the autoflight system requires that pilots stay "in the loop" and maintain a proactive stance in regard to "flying" the aircraft. The following two reports involve Pilots who did not stay closely engaged with what the autoflight system was (or wasn't) doing. In the first instance an ERJ170 Captain's report shows that when you mix fatigue with complacency, more than the crew's attention can go out the window.
■ Cruising at FL350, fat, dumb, and tired, we were told to cross [a fix] at FL310. The First Officer was the Pilot Flying. He entered FL310 in the altitude window. We both pointed and confirmed. He entered the crossing restriction in the FMS. I confirmed and he activated. We both went back to staring out the window.
I heard ATC tell someone to descend to FL310 and the First Officer and I simultaneously realized that we were less than a mile from the fix and still at FL350. He initiated the descent; I called ATC. The Controller…told us to descend and maintain FL310 and gave us a frequency change. I acknowledged and said thank you; he said no problem. The flight continued uneventfully.
The fact is that we flat out screwed up. We both thought we confirmed that we were in VNAV. We watched the airplane closely on the subsequent VNAV applications and it worked fine, so I can only think we did not engage VNAV upon receiving the crossing restriction. We were both fatigued and had actually discussed taking coordinated naps about an hour prior to this happening, but neither of us did.... The simple fact is— we didn't operate the airplane properly.
When the automation is consistently working as advertised, monitoring becomes more of a challenge. It becomes easier for pilots to enter a reactive state of mind and unconsciously disengage from anticipating the desired flightpath. In this second case of autoflight complacency, the autoflight system went off track, but the A319 Flight Crew assumed everything was OK.
■ Approach cleared us for the visual approach to Runway 22L via direct to the Final Approach Fix. We inserted "Direct" to the fix in the box and verified NAV mode. Autopilot #1 and "APPR" modes were selected to intercept the localizer and glideslope at the Final Approach Fix. We were at 7,000 feet, the glideslope intercept altitude, three to four miles outside of the fix and east of the centerline for 22L. As we proceeded, still in NAV mode, the airplane remained left of a direct path to the Final Approach Fix. Both pilots were watching outside the aircraft. We were still tracking towards 22L, but not tracking to the fix anymore. Tower asked us to verify that we were landing on 22L. We acknowledged that we were. It was at this point that we saw we were going to intercept the 22L centerline inside of the final approach fix rather than at the fix. We landed without incident on 22L.
We intercepted the LOC inside of the final approach fix instead of at the fix as we were cleared. We as a crew assumed the automation was doing what it was supposed to be doing. Being that we were cleared direct and the aircraft was confirmed to do this, we did not think the track was drifting off course (15 miles away). I have never seen this happen, but I will be more aware even in visual conditions.
Distracted and Dependent
Historically, distraction has been an element in many aviation incidents and accidents. Now, with the prevalence of automation, pilots are less actively engaged in flying the aircraft and it may well be that they are even more susceptible to distractions.
An Air Carrier First Officer reported how a cockpit conversation, when combined with autoflight dependency, was enough to adversely affect their flight.
■ ATC cleared us to cross [a fix] on the arrival…at the expected, planned, and standard FL230. Our altitude was FL270. The Captain and I were talking. The fix started flashing indicating station passage. I recorded the fuel on the dispatch release and then realized that I had not begun descending. I told the Captain I had forgotten to descend and reduced power to idle, full spoilers, and adjusted vertical speed to 3,500 feet per minute. As I began descending, ATC told us to change to Center. We were 4,000 feet above our crossing altitude and leveled at FL230 five to six miles after the fix.
It was a quiet morning with conversation on the flight deck to keep our minds active. My error as the flying pilot was not initiating the descent when assigned by ATC, not perceiving the [glideslope] guidance in my scan, and the Captain not catching my error in his monitoring cross check. I should, as I usually do, begin descending immediately when assigned crossing fixes. I should, if planning a three-degree descent, ask the Captain to remind me if he sees me not acting at the descent point. I should be aware that conversation, though good in keeping the mind active, also leads to distraction from flying responsibilities especially during low levels of activity and when the automation is "flying."
"I Was Depending on My Autopilot…"
A BE35 Pilot interrupted monitoring the autopilot to deal with a radio problem. Fortunately, an Approach Controller wasn't distracted from the responsibility to monitor the aircraft's flight path.
■ Approach Control descended me to 3,000 feet. My heading was 160 degrees. I was told to maintain 3,000 feet and turn left to 060. I was depending on my autopilot to maintain my altitude and make the turn. The radio transmission from Approach was weak and barely audible. As I tried to ascertain the problem with the radio by turning the volume up and down and tapping on the radio, Approach Control said, "What are you doing? Where are you going? What altitude are you supposed to be at?" I then noticed that my altitude was approximately 2,000 feet. I stopped the descent and asked Approach, "What do you want me to do?" Approach gave me a left turn to 040 degrees, a right turn to base leg, and then a turn to final….
In a telephone conversation with ATC after landing, I was told that I had busted the assigned altitude and had come within 100 feet of another aircraft.
An Embarrassing Reliance on Automation
Pilot training in manual backup procedures is crucial to maintaining flight safety when aircraft automation malfunctions occur. The following report from an Approach Controller points out that training in manual Air Traffic Control procedures is just as important for Controllers who can also become over-reliant on automation.
■ While working north departure, the ARTS (Automated Radar Terminal System) interface with all adjacent facilities failed. I first noticed that the next sector wasn't taking my handoffs and then all departing aircraft began to flash "DM," indicating that a FDIO (Flight Data Input/Output System) "departure message" was required. I informed the Controller-In-Charge immediately. All aircraft had to be manually tagged up, departed in the FDIO, and handed off to the next sectors. All arriving aircraft had to be manually handed off to us from Center. The fact that the interface failed isn't necessarily the problem. The complete lack of expeditious handling to fix the problem was the greater evil, as the situation did not get fixed until well into the mid shift. After asking several people involved, it seems the nature of the failure is still unknown and just seemed to "fix itself" hours after the failure.
The situation was lucky in a way because it happened during VFR conditions when we weren't very busy. Had this happened during a busy push in IFR conditions, I believe that safety could have been compromised and efficiency would have been down the drain. It's not safe and our customers deserve much better. When things break, the people that fix them need to identify the problem and fix it. Either more training or better support might be needed…. Also, some recurring training on manual hand off procedures may be in order. It seems that automation is relied upon so heavily these days that some folks forget the trusty old 7110.65 (Air Traffic Organization Policy or "Controller Handbook"). That's embarrassing.

Pamela Burford
"A fierce and powerful story of love and danger."
— New York Times best-selling author Mary Jo Putney
"Gifted author Pamela Burford delivers a sexy, tension-packed sizzler with a tough, strong hero guaranteed to make our hearts throb!"
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
"I couldn't tear myself away until I'd read the last page. The writing is fast-paced and provocative as this highly talented author once again provides a stunning story."
— Old Book Barn Gazette
"A great romance and a terrific thriller!"
— Literary Times
"Pamela Burford is one of the best writers of romantic suspense, and her latest thriller, A Hard-hearted Hero [Going Commando], is a brilliant novel."
— Harriet Klausner for Painted Rock Reviews
When Elizabeth Lancaster is kidnapped from a nature commune, she's terrified for her life. She hadn't expected her cover to be blown so quickly. But who is this huge, rock-solid guy who spirits her away to a secluded estate in the mountains? When she discovers the identity of her abductor, one thought burns through her outrage and frustration: What is the commando going to do to me?
Caleb Trent's special-forces training didn't prepare him for life with his beautiful captive. She's more resourceful than he anticipated, always managing to stay one step ahead of him, and far too alluring for his peace of mind. Still, he's determined not to let down his guard. She might be a lying conniver, but he's duty-bound to see this mission through to the end.
Going Commando was a finalist in Romance Writers of America's RITA Awards and winner of the Heart of the West National Writing Contest! Originally published as A Hard-hearted Hero.

Light romance, contemporary
This was a light good read for casual perusal. Sometimes this is needed just like comic television or films to relieve tension. I think Pamela Burford specialises in that. If you're looking for gentle laughter in living situations she may be for you occasionally.
adorablered , 03/22/2019
Fast paced thriller! Imagination was stretched a tad bit to make the storyline believable. I've really liked other books by the author, but was disappointed in this one. Sorry about this review, but at least it's honest.
Valkia12 , 09/05/2016
Grabs you from the start
Starts fast and keeps you going. Caleb kidnaps Elizabeth to deprogram her as a promise to brother. He gets more than he bargained for. Emotions run high until the truth comes out. Now Caleb has to keep Elizabeth alive long enough to prove his brother's death was not a suicide. Elizabeth is unsure if her feelings for Caleb are because of their close quarters or if she has found the one for her. The trust between the two takes a while to build until the end, and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I highly recommend this book.
I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Fox Revenue per Share Calculation
Revenue per Share is the amount of Revenue per outstanding share of the company's stock.
Also referred as sales, revenue is income that a company receives from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to customers. Revenue is often referred to as the "top line" due to its position on the income statement at the very top.
Fox's Revenue Per Share for the fiscal year that ended in Jun. 2020 is calculated as
Revenue Per Share (A: Jun. 2020 ) = Revenue (A: Jun. 2020 ) / Shares Outstanding (Diluted Average) (A: Jun. 2020 )
= 12303 / 616.000
= 19.97
Fox's Revenue Per Share for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2020 is calculated as
Revenue Per Share (Q: {Q1}) = Revenue (Q: Sep. 2020 ) / Shares Outstanding (Diluted Average) (Q: Sep. 2020 )

According to ESPN, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry stated that the team plans to sit superstar Anthony Davis until after the trade deadline on Thursday, Feb 7th.
This Super Bowl Sunday at TD Garden, the Boston Celtics put an end to the Oklahoma City Thunder's impressive seven-game winning streak, finishing with a close 134-129.
The light fine to the player with a projected $25,434,263 salary (HoopsyHype) was apparently for violating the Collective Bargaining Agreement when his agent, Rich Paul, made Davis's trade demands public, according to CBS Sports.
It isn't often that a hot commodity like Davis becomes available for trade, so it isn't a surprise to already see teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and even the Toronto Raptors suspected to make offers, according to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor.
In a riveting game on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Atlanta Hawks finally beat their opposing team 123 – 118 for the first time since the year 2016.
It's hard not to notice that the Houston Rockets' James Harden has been on a 20-game streak of scoring at least 30 points, including an impressive 48 points in a game against the Lakers on Saturday.
Los Angeles Lakers' point guard Rajon Rondo is scheduled to make a return to his team this Thursday in a game against the Timberwolves, which may be just what the Lakers need after their last two consecutive losses.
The Mavs have high hopes that Smith's return will help put an end to a four-game slide, but it's going to be a tough shot – especially when comparing his performance to that of last season's. In fact, the 21-year-old is now averaging 12.6 points per game, down from 15.2 points last year.
Has Harden Been Going too Hard for the Rockets?
Hardens "best" comes with an absence of team ethics – and can you blame him? Monday's game saw James putting on a real one-man show, and we can only imagine this may lead to a burn-out sooner or later.
Fans embraced Parker at the AT&T Centre with a nearly 3-minute tribute video, standing ovations and a powerful chant in his name. Several of the NBA star's family members even flew from France to surprise him for his return, delighting Tony during his warm-ups as they appeared courtside.
In a recent victorious win over the LA Lakers this past Sunday, Lowry finished off the game with 21 points, 15 assists – making this his eighth game in a row with assists in the double digits. The game's final score was 121 – 107, and Lowry played a critical role in making that happen.
Just How Far can LeBron Take the Lakers?
With a strong history of taking his teams to the NBA Finals (but not necessarily making it to the very end), there's not a doubt in our minds about whether he can do it again – this time with the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, this would be James's 10th consecutive time making it to the Finals.
Who Will Be the Next NBA MVP 2018-2019?
When we think about who could possibly be the next NBA MVP of 2018-2019, of course, LeBron is one of the first to come to mind.
The NBA released its complete 2018-2019 season game schedule – and we couldn't help but notice Toronto missing from the Christmas Day games.
Devin Robinson scored 24 on 9-18 shooting. But it was his explosiveness that gave the fans a lot to cheer about with multiple high flying jams including a disgusting poster on Lonnie Walker IV. Troy Brown has a good game as well. Lonnie Walker IV was fun to watch, the rookie out of Miami scored 14 points, shot 5-13, and drained one three. I loved how aggressive he was on offense and defense, slashing to the basket, picking out his shots, and jumping the passing lanes.
DeMarcus Cousins Becomes 5th All-Star to Join Warriors: Can They Be Beat?
While it's not the riskiest deal ever made ($5.3 mill), Cousins has just signed onto the Golden State Warriors for a single year deal, making that a total of 5 NBA All-Stars on one team.
Chances are Ja Morant isn't somebody you've heard of. That will definitely change. Ja is a point guard at Murray State who started all 32 games as a freshman, in those 32 games he compiled 12.7 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and 6.3 APG. Stat sheet stuffer.
Chris Paul's Hamstring Injury to Blame for the Rockets' Conference Loss?
Rockets fans may remember the very moment when nine-time All-Star Chris Paul experienced a strain to his right hamstring during the very final minute of Game 5 against the Warriors (déjà vu, anyone)?
Will Boston's Brilliant Rebuild Ultimately "Steal" Victory From the Cavs?
The Celtics' General Manager Danny Ainge was able to accomplish an unforgettable rebuild that will go down in NBA history by using just the right amount of patience and careful decision-making.
Chris Clemons is the best scorer you've never heard of. I first watched one of Clemons' games at Campbell in the 2016-17 Big South conference tournament.
This year's top 10 mock draft picks are Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr., Marvin Bagley III, Michael Porter Jr., Mohamed Bamba, Collin Sexton, Mikal Bridges, Trae Young, and Wendell Carter Jr.
Jordan Brown was offered by Nevada back in April of 2015, his first offer. Fast forward to May 11th, 2018. Over 3 years after receiving that offer, Brown committed to Nevada over Arizona and Cal.
If you haven't heard, Darius Bazley was a highly sought after recruit who was headed to Syracuse. The top 10 recruit recently made a bold decision and he'll be passing up his full-ride to Syracuse and is going to play in the G-League.
Apparently Donovan Mitchell had a plan with the Utah Jazz to guard Houston Rockets MVP James Harden and the team in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
With a newer offense and a more powerful defense (Kyle Lowry – we see you), they've seem to consistently been putting on for their city and outshining both the Cavs and the Celtics.
LeBron James earned the Cleveland Cavaliers a 98-95 win against the Indiana Pacers last night in Game 5, as well as a 3-2 series lead.
After two tied games with the Washington Wizards, the Raptors struggled to make victory as they lost by ten points in Game 4 this past Sunday.
Something we don't often consider about our fiercest basketball athletes is their ability to strategize and make the right decisions on the court – with Westbrook being a fine example.
For the first time in four attempts in Indianpolis this season, the Cavaliers made off with a victorious 104-100 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

Charlotte Williams: The House on the Cliff Sunday, Jan 12 2014
Uncategorized closed case, murder, page-turner, thriller, Wales Auntie M Writes Crime 12:21 am
Welcome to Cardiff, Wales, home to psychotherapist Jessica Mayhew and her family.
Jessica has it all: lovely home, two great kids, a successful practice, and a loving marriage. Or so she thinks.
She's sharp and notices small details with her clients, yet somehow misses that things are wrong in her marriage when her frequent-flyer husband, Bob, admits to a one-night stand while away on business.
Think: frosty at home, and you'd be right. She struggles with picturing Bob and his lover while trying to co-parent young Rose and 16 yr-old Nella. Is her marriage over?
But the thaw for Jessica comes in the form of an interesting new client, actor Gwydion Morgan, who arrives asking for her help with a phobia that may affect his career. The son of Evan Morgan, a womanizing, overbearing man with a string of infidelities to his name, Jessica admires Gwydion's insistence not to trade on his father's name and to make his own way.
It seems buttons are a huge problem for the incredibly handsome young man, and Jessica feels drawn to him, especially after Bob's confession and her inability to forgive him.
Jessica soon susses out that the young man's button phobia masks a deeper issue, and Gwydion admits to a frightening and recurrent dream involving being locked in a box and hearing a man and woman fighting. He wakes before the end of the scene, and soon Jessica is pushing him to remember more. She's convinced the end of the dream is the way to his recovery.
When Gwydion's mother calls and says her son has sunk into a deep depression and she thinks he's suicidal, Jessica breaks one of her own rules and makes a house call. The foreboding Craigfa House reminds the reader of something out of Rebecca, a cliffside Jacobean melange on West Wales. Arianrhod Morgan is grateful Jessica has come to the house. Beautiful but unhappy, the woman has withstood her husband's ferocious philandering for years. It's obvious she is concerned about her son.
A drowning off their cliff years before is glossed over until Jessica learns that the young woman, Elsa Lindberg, was actually Gwydion's nanny. Jessica begins to delve into the case, never imagining the repercussions she will dreg up. Her snooping into the young woman's death will coincide with Gwydion remembering more and more of his dream until he reaches the devastating end.
How that will impact Jessica and her family run alongside her own distrust of her husband and her growing attraction to the young actor. Who is telling the truth? And who can she really trust?
With her instincts clouded, Jessica tries to find the answers, only to see that the truth may be harder to take than she ever imagined.
A powerful debut thriller, with an interesting family behind it and a keen sense of the psychology that Jessica practices. Williams has a long history or writing for the arts in journalism and making documentaries for the BBC. More recently she's worked in radio drama on original plays and adaptations. Readers will hope she brings back Jessica for round two down the road.

Get COVID-19 vaccine or pay for weekly tests
Aug 09, 2021 covid19
Micah Sharples' most severe symptoms hit over the course of about 48 hours. She was coughing up blood and in extreme pain.
When she decided to go the emergency room, she couldn't breathe unless she was physically upright.
There, she found out that she had multiple blood clots in her lungs. She was in the hospital for about 24 hours, is now on blood thinners, and still struggling with fatigue and pain months later.
After she got out of the hospital, she got the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as she could. The blood clots weren't COVID-related, but now, because she is immunocompromised, she could end up hospitalized and in peril if she is infected with the coronavirus — even after being vaccinated.
"It is not something I would wish on anyone," she told the Idaho Statesman in a video interview.
So when the College of Idaho, where she will be a sophomore, announced its new vaccination policy for students, which requires being vaccinated or paying for weekly mandatory testing, she was relieved.
It's one big step to help her feel safer when she goes back to campus, she said.
"If you won't do it for yourself, please do it for those of us who are literally scared to come out of our homes," she said. "Because if we get it, the consequences will be so severe that we won't be able to recover completely from it."
The College of Idaho's vaccine policy is different from most other institutions across the state. At the Caldwell-based college, students are given three options.
The first option is to attest to having received a COVID-19 vaccine. For those who aren't vaccinated, they can agree to take a COVID-19 test each week, cover the cost themselves and report it to the Wellness Center. Lastly, students can apply for a religious or medical exemption, just as employees can at businesses that mandate vaccination.
For students taking the weekly PCR test, they can get it through the school's Wellness Center, where it costs about $89, said Paul Bennion, vice president for student affairs and dean of students. C of I students can check with their insurance carriers on what is covered, or potentially find cheaper options, he said, but that is the option offered at the college.
Bennion said the policy is an attempt to accomplish one main goal.
"We want to be able to return in the fall, in full operation, in person," he told the Idaho Statesman. "So whatever gives us the best chance of doing that, that's our ultimate goal."
But the institution is pursuing another goal: getting as many people as possible vaccinated.
"We're an educational institution. We follow and study the science. That's what we're about," Bennion said. "We know it's the most effective way of getting us to the point where we can be safely in person, as a college and as a community. But we also recognize that people are kind of on different paths in terms of getting to that point. So we wanted to create some options for students."
The policy applies only to students. The College of Idaho has worked closely with its faculty and staff regarding COVID-19, and Bennion estimated that more than 90% of its employees have been vaccinated.
The College of Idaho will continue to do outreach and contact tracing should someone test positive, and will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health officials.
The college is also looking at the new guidance from the CDC that recommends masking for everyone while indoors, regardless of whether they are vaccinated, in "areas of substantial or high transmission."
"That plan remains intact, although some modifications, such as a requirement for masking, are actively under consideration at present in light of revised recommendations from the CDC," Bennion said. "As always, we seek a balance between the need for a stable working plan and the often conflicting need to adjust to changing conditions in real time."
Vaccine mandates in Idaho have faced intense criticism and protests, particularly after major health care systems in the state announced that they would be requiring the shots for employees and contract workers.
But Bennion said the institution — which has taken a different approach — has been "pleasantly surprised" and "heartened" by the response it has received.
"We feel comfortable with where we're going," he said. "Our primary concern is with safety. And so we look to sources, the CDC and others, that provide that guidance that we feel like is most appropriate to keep people safe."
How it compares to other colleges and universities
Across Idaho, most other colleges and universities won't require the COVID-19 vaccine for students or staff. For public colleges and universities, it's not even an option.
Gov. Brad Little in April issued an executive order banning "vaccine passports" — having proof one is vaccinated, essentially — which included higher education institutions. Little, though, has continued to urge Idahoans to get the vaccine, saying school could be interrupted in the fall because the state has so many unvaccinated people.
Public colleges and universities in Idaho have been encouraging people to get the vaccine and offering opportunities on campus, even though it won't be required. Colleges have been calling the vaccine a key tool to slowing the spread of the virus and keeping people safe.
As coronavirus cases rise again in Idaho and the more transmissible delta variant spreads, some places, including Boise State University and the University of Idaho, are also strongly recommending that everyone wear masks indoors again, regardless of whether they are vaccinated. But those recommendations have not gone as far as becoming mandates.
Other private universities have similarly encouraged, but not mandated, vaccines.
Northwest Nazarene University said on its website that it was asking members of the community to "make informed decisions about their health and how they can best protect themselves and our community." The university asked that all students and staff talk to their health care provider about the vaccine and get it "if advised." But they won't be requiring proof of vaccination to come back to campus.
At Brigham Young University-Idaho, in Rexburg, students are being advised to "carefully consider vaccination against COVID-19, prior to the start of the semester," according to its website. The university said students should also keep wearing masks in campus buildings for at least the first two weeks of the semester.
Outside of Idaho, hundreds of colleges and universities have mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for students returning to campus in the fall. The American College Health Association earlier this year also recommended vaccine requirements for students returning to campus.
'Get the vaccine, please'
During her first year on campus, Sharples, who is on the swim team, spent the majority of her time in her dorm room taking online classes. She had to quarantine a few times after potential exposure to the virus, she said.
"You eat in your dorm, you sleep in your dorm, you do homework in your dorm, you go to class in your dorm, and you pretty much do not leave your dorm to do much," she said.
Throughout the year, the college took steps to make her feel safer at school, she said. It enforced strict masking protocols. Athletes in contact sports were tested frequently. And on the swim team, they tracked temperatures and any symptoms to try to curb the spread of the virus, she said.
She was grateful school was online when she ended up in the hospital in March. There were no environmental or genetic factors that caused them — that she knows of — and it was not related to the coronavirus, she said. She's an athlete, so she's used to being tired and in some pain, she said. It wasn't until her symptoms got really bad that she realized something was wrong.
It will take at least a year for her body to "dissolve the blood clots" in her lungs. She'll remain on blood thinners to prevent more problems, she said. She's limited in virtually everything she can do right now. She has daily pain, which can sometimes feel like "extreme stabbing."
"Basically, I sleep all the time. I get my schoolwork in when I can," she said. "I'm just pretty much home. So, can't really do much."
But she is planning to return to school in the fall — even though she'll have to continue being careful.
"That is mostly why I'm very happy about the school's vaccination policy, is because I actually feel safe returning," she said. "If I get COVID, it tends to go to the lungs. And I'm personally vaccinated, but it goes to the lungs, and my lungs are very, very compromised at the moment. And I will probably end up hospitalized, or not make it, and that is not something that I want to have to go through."
She still worries about heading back, especially as the delta variant spreads. She plans to continue to wear a mask, because she can't afford to get sick.
"I don't really want to know statistically what my chances are," she said. "I just want to protect myself from it."
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, some people who get the coronavirus "develop abnormal blood clotting," which can harm the lungs, nervous system and kidneys.
Even though her experience was not related to the coronavirus, Sharples is warning people to do everything possible to prevent a medical catastrophe happening to them as a result of being unvaccinated.
"You don't want blood clots," she said. "So if you have the option to please get the vaccine, please do."

Black Pumas LRS2021
Reunited shoegaze outfit Slowdive spent 2016 in the studio recording their first album in over two decades. The new album follows two years of successful live shows. The band split up in 1995 after being dropped from the Creation label, but achieved cult success in the years between then and 2014, when they reformed. This new album is their first since 1995's Pygmalian, which the band never actually toured when it was originally released. The world has finally caught up with Slowdive. The band whose reach goes far beyond just influencing music are back with their first new album in 22 years. The album is called Slowdive - self-titled in an echo of their debut EP from 1990 - and is remarkably direct.

Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO
Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO today but his Instagram account shows he has plenty of other interests to occupy his time.
Amazon was founded in 1994 as an online marketplace for books in Jeff Bezos' garage in Bellevue, Washington.
An October 2017 photo of Jeff Bezos at the Los Angeles Air Force Base Space and Missile System Center.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos has stepped down as chief executive officer of e-commerce giant Amazon, a company he founded exactly 27 years ago.
Bezos has handed over the reigns to Andy Jassy, who took over the Seattle-based company on July 5.
Amazon was founded in 1994 as an online marketplace for books in Bezos' garage in Bellevue, Washington. Since then it has become one of the largest corporations in the world with a market capitalisation of over $1.7 trillion.
The company's offerings have expanded over the nearly three decades, going beyond its online marketplace. Amazon now owns Prime Video, a streaming platform and Amazon Web Services, its hugely successful cloud computing platform.
"Being the CEO of Amazon is a deep responsibility, and it's consuming. When you have a responsibility like that, it's hard to put attention on anything else. As Executive Chair, I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions."
His stepping down follows a growing trend of non-founder CEOs leading giant tech corporations in Silicon Valley. Think Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, and Sundar Pichai.
"Amazon couldn't be better positioned for the future. We are firing on all cylinders, just as the world needs us to. We have things in the pipeline that will continue to astonish," Bezos had said in his letter to employees in February.

Q: Access field of entity included in hidden join Two entities, A and B, Bextends A. I'm interested in the field B.isOk.
I have this query that joins A with other entities(and because B extends A, if I look at the pure sql, a join is done between A and B even though it is not specified in the query builder-because of the inheritance, great-).
How can I then access that B.isOk if I only have A my query builder? I tried using INSTANCE OF but to no success.
In my yml for A there's specified :
inheritanceType: joined
discriminatorColumn:
  name: type
  type: text
discriminatorMap:
  internal-b: \C\BBundle\Entity\B

Any other suggestions on how could I use that property? I could add an extra join but what's the point since the join I need is already happening behind the curtains.

A: One alternative to this would be to give up DQL and write my own SQL query.
since this can not be done because OOP principles, it means something might be wrong with my model so another solution would be to refactor the model and design a correct one that fits the current needs.

The Furies - Criterion Collection
Review Date April 16th, 2021 by David Krauss
Anthony Mann directed many westerns, but one of his first remains one of his best. The Furies helped reshape and modernize the genre and still packs a potent punch today, thanks to a taut, substantive tale laced with Freudian undertones and peppered with noir accents. Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Huston (in his final film role), Wendell Corey, and Judith Anderson all file crackling portrayals in this dynamic drama about greed, power, loyalty, honor, and revenge in 1870s New Mexico. A lovely transfer, robust audio, and absorbing supplements highlight Criterion's classy Blu-ray presentation that comes packaged in a handsome box with a copy of the original novel by Niven Busch. Highly Recommended.

Movie Studio: Criterion
"Freudian westerns" flourished during the 1940s and 1950s, spicing up an often stodgy genre with welcome ambiguity and deviation. Twisted longings, unresolved emotional issues, and hidden vulnerabilities fuel these subversive sagebrush sagas and enhance such archetypal western components as rugged characters, brazen power struggles, and the age-old tussle between good and evil and right and wrong. 1946's Duel in the Sun was perhaps the first entry in this fascinating sub-genre, and its author, Niven Busch, quickly capitalized on its success with a richly entertaining follow-up, The Furies. With hints of incest and interracial romance, the film embraces taboo themes, but director Anthony Mann masterfully tempers the melodrama so it never eclipses the western flavor, and the result is a riveting portrait of greed, desire, manipulation, and revenge.
Barbara Stanwyck stars as the fiery Vance Jeffords, who dutifully oversees The Furies ranch in 1870s New Mexico during her widowed father's lengthy absences. Vance worships patriarch T.C. Jeffords (Walter Huston) - perhaps a bit too fervently - but the two often clash, and their mutual hot-headed nature fuels many a hot-blooded conflict. He disapproves of her "friendship" with a Mexican squatter (Gilbert Roland) who lays claim to his land, while she can't stomach his betrothal to a fading California socialite (Judith Anderson) who seems determined to usurp her position. Such fierce jealousies unravel the abnormally close ties binding Vance and T.C., and pit the two against each other in a battle royal for supremacy that drives both to the edge.
The Furies appeals to a wide audience by adroitly weaving compelling domestic drama and incisive noir elements into its western framework. The taut psychological tension builds from the opening frames, but passions never boil over until a shocking incident midway through the film. Those expecting a brawny, action-packed shoot-'em-up may be frustrated by all the angst, yet no matter how fraught the interpersonal squabbling becomes, Mann makes sure we never forget we're watching a western. He dutifully adheres to the genre's conventions, wisely employs dusty Arizona locations to pump up authenticity, and treats his Mexican characters with surprising sensitivity - a brave choice in a bigoted era. Mann has helmed some of Hollywood's most renowned westerns (Winchester '73 and Bend of the River among them), but his invisible style keeps him largely - and wrongly - under the radar.
The fine cast, however, can't escape notice, and their uniformly excellent work keeps us enthralled. Although Stanwyck had already appeared in such outdoorsy fare as Annie Oakley, Union Pacific, and California, The Furies marked her first true foray into a genre for which she soon would become the female poster girl. Her affection for the western is instantly apparent and she attacks her role with customary grit, displaying enviable equestrian skills and relishing her action sequences.
Stanwyck, though, never allows her physical prowess to eclipse her impressive dramatic abilities. Watching her lock horns with Huston (who would sadly die of a heart attack shortly after completing the film), spar with Anderson (the two underplay to perfection), play a game of romantic oneupmanship with Wendell Corey (their tussling scene brims with fiery passion), and flirt with the macho Gilbert Roland is a treat.
Stanwyck brings her "A" game to every role, but really throws herself into The Furies, crafting a riveting dimensional portrayal. Her exchanges with Huston crackle with intensity and her raw emotion nicely offsets Anderson's airs. At 43, she also cleverly embodies Busch's headstrong heroine, who's a mere 19 in the author's novel. Instead of playing Vance as a kittenish, Scarlett O'Hara-like vixen, Stanwyck chooses instead to use her own maturity to add layers to the character and bite to her love scenes with Roland and Corey (who aids Vance in her plot to topple T.C.). Her advanced age also makes Vance's obsessive relationship with her father even more disturbing.
Huston, fresh from his Oscar-winning performance in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, takes obvious delight in the irascible T.C., chewing the scenery without descending into caricature. The impeccable Anderson purrs like a tigress, and Roland's soulful turn as a noble, proud Mexican squatter and Vance's dearest friend, deeply resonates. There's also a wonderful bit from Blanche Yurka (the evil Madame Defarge in the original A Tale of Two Cities), who wordlessly skulks around during much of the film a la Gale Sondergaard in The Letter, but makes a big statement at the denouement.
With its bold themes, masterful acting, and expert direction, The Furies colors outside the lines of typical, traditional westerns, and that's exactly what makes it fascinating, memorable, and timeless. Stanwyck and Huston ignite plenty of sparks, and their terrific chemistry propels this involving, textured, and impeccably crafted film.
Vital Disc Stats: The Blu-ray
The Furies arrives on Blu-ray in practically the same packaging as the 2008 DVD. A rustic cardboard box holds the matching cardboard case that houses the disc and a 40-page booklet that contains an essay by critic and scholar Robin Wood, a 1957 interview with director Anthony Mann, several scene shots, a cast and crew listing, and transfer notes. Also included is a soft bound edition of the original 299-page novel by Niven Busch with a lovely textured cover that matches the rest of the package's design. (When this release was first announced, I was concerned Criterion might omit Busch's book in favor of a more streamlined - and cheaper - Blu-ray edition, but thankfully the company chose to replicate its DVD presentation. The only difference is the DVD case contains a pouch that houses the booklet; in the Blu-ray edition, the booklet is simply a loose insert inside the case.) Video codec is 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 and audio is LPCM mono. Once the disc is inserted into the player, the static menu with music immediately pops up; no previews or promos precede it.
1080p AVC/MPEG-4
English: LPCM Mono

The 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer was created from a 35 mm composite fine-grain master positive. Though some additional clean-up has been performed, the source looks strikingly similar to the one used for the 2008 DVD. Grain levels fluctuate somewhat, but the overall appearance is wonderfully film-like and the transfer faithfully renders Victor Milner's gorgeous Oscar-nominated cinematography. Both the ornate interiors of The Furies ranch and dusty, rugged Arizona exteriors look beautifully balanced and flaunt plenty of fine detail.
Blacks are stable and rich, whites are crisp and resist blooming, and a wide grayscale provides depth and texture. The day-for-night scenes are especially impressive, with excellent contrast, shadow delineation, and several well-defined silhouettes producing some arresting images. Sharp close-ups flatter the stars yet still highlight such western elements as sweat and grime, and though a bit of image instability occasionally occurs and a few errant nicks and marks remain, such niggling imperfections only momentarily distract from this impressive and immersive presentation that perfectly complements the taut, involving story.
The LPCM mono audio was remastered from a 35 mm optical track, and the result is a fine rendering that slightly improves upon the 2008 DVD. A wide dynamic scale handles all of the dramatic highs and weighty lows of Franz Waxman's rousing music score without any distortion, and all the spirited dialogue is well prioritized, clear, and comprehendible. Some potent bass accents also enliven track, with the sounds of boulders bouncing down cliffs, gunshots, and explosions possessing plenty of pop. Any lingering pops and crackles have been erased, but the some of the hiss that was evident on the DVD still crops up from time to time.
All the extras from the 2008 DVD - with the exception of the stills gallery - have been ported over to this Blu-ray release, along with a new analysis featuring film historian Imogen Sara Smith.
NEW Featurette: "Radical Classicism: Imogen Sara Smith on The Furies" (HD, 29 minutes) - The well-spoken critic and historian calls The Furies "one of the most extraordinary westerns of its era...or really any era," noting it "explodes the boundaries of the western" by incorporating Shakespearean overtones and elements of Greek tragedy. Smith praises Stanwyck's work, lauds Victor Miller's cinematography, and discusses how author Niven Busch brought Freudian components into the western. She also dissects Mann's distinctive style and refers to the director as "the Caravaggio of cinema." Rare behind-the-scenes photos that were undoubtedly culled from the DVD's still gallery and a few film clips augment Smith's presentation, which is well worth checking out.
Audio Commentary - Film historian and western expert Jim Kitses sat down for this astute, articulate, and probing commentary track back in 2008. Kitses authoritatively analyzes the plot, characters, and setting, and cites the differences between Busch's novel and Charles Schnee's screenplay. He calls The Furies "underrated and neglected," and works hard to right that wrong. Although at times Kitses sounds overly scripted, he presents an eloquent monologue that's chock full of interesting observations and well worth your time.
Vintage TV Interview with Anthony Mann: "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" (SD, 17 minutes) - In this 1967 interview filmed for the BBC series The Movies, Mann discusses his early career and cinematic influences, explains how any story can be adapted for the western genre, and talks about the necessity of violence in great drama. Unfortunately, he does not address The Furies directly, but his articulate speech and passion for his vocation make this an enlightening and enjoyable profile of an often overlooked craftsman.
Vintage Short: Intimate Interviews (SD, 9 minutes) - This rare short provides an up-close-and-personal - and slightly goofy - look at actor Walter Huston from 1931. Dorothy West asks the stilted poolside questions, which touch upon Huston's stage roles, his views about acting, and how "talking pictures" are made.
Interview with Nina Mann (SD, 17 minutes) - In this 2008 interview, the director's daughter salutes her famous father and analyzes the ambiguities of his westerns, especially The Furies. She also addresses Mann's upbringing in a California commune (and how it influenced his life and work), his love of location shooting, and his respect and affinity for actors.
Theatrical Trailer (SD, 2 minutes) - The film's original preview completes the extras package.
Though The Furies may not stand as Anthony Mann's most famous western, it surely ranks among the director's best work, and its muscular storytelling, Freudian undertones, and the mesmerizing portrayals of Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Huston, Wendell Corey, and Judith Anderson keep it vital and gripping more than seven decades after its initial release. A lovely transfer, robust audio, and plenty of absorbing supplements distinguish Criterion's stellar Blu-ray presentation of this richly textured, beautifully mounted movie. Highly Recommended.

The DCEU shouldn't copy the MCU, but the Batman movies should
The DCEU should part ways with the MCU model, but the Batman movies should definitely copy it – here's how and why it would be best.
The DC Extended Universe It shouldn't be following the lead of its rival connected universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but its Batman movies should. The superhero genre has had a very successful streak thanks to adapting popular superheroes to the big screen in big-budget productions and as part of large connected universes, the most important being the DCEU and the MCU.
The MCU has been noted for its more realistic approach to its superheroes and their stories, while the DCEU has gone through a couple of roadblocks that have forced Warner Bros. to rethink its plan. The DCEU began in 2013 with Iron Man, and his next film reunited Superman and Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. After the release of Suicide squad Y Wonder Woman, the DCEU went through a rough patch with League of Justice, which was poorly received and led the studio to change its plan when it came to its DC Comics heroes. His biggest change was the inclusion of a multiverse, which makes it possible for him to have different Batmans: Ben Affleck, Robert Pattinson and Michael Keaton, who is set to return in The flash after playing the Caped Crusader in Tim Burton bat Man Y Batman Returns.

Since its inception, the DCEU has been endlessly compared to the MCU in every aspect, from its tone to its stories to how it has handled crossovers, and most who compare and criticize both universes forget that they are very different worlds. The DCEU, then, has already made the mistake of trying to copy the MCU model, and is now correcting its path with films like Birds of prey and the upcoming Batman reboot with Robert Pattinson, and you should avoid falling into the "MCU copy" trap; However, there is a division within the DC Films multiverse that should follow the MCU's lead, and they are the Batman movies of this universe.
The Batman universe shouldn't just focus on Batman and his development over the years, as Pattinson will start out as a young Bruce Wayne in his sophomore year fighting crime in Gotham, and the rest of the characters, both allies and villains, they will stay. As support. Instead, Batman's side of the DC universe should be shared where Batman comic book characters, including his villains, have a chance to shine at some point. The MCU has done it with a variety of superheroes, from classics like Captain America and Spider-Man to more modern ones like Guardians of the Galaxy, and is now turning the spotlight on some of his villains, most notably Loki, who is getting your own TV show. The Batman universe is very rich and has a wide variety of characters with different backgrounds, abilities, and goals, which would make a "Gothamverse" a much more interesting (and profitable) idea than trying to fit the DCEU into the MCU model.
The DCEU It has some exciting projects to come that don't require you to copy the MCU example, and with the multiverse just beginning, the possibilities are endless. Batman, meanwhile, is about to start a new phase in his film history with Matt Reeves' The batman, which may usher in a larger shared universe if Warner Bros. decides to go down that path, making it that much more exciting.

Lullington is a village and civil parish in the district of South Derbyshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 Census was 121.  It has an All Saints' Church, a village hall and a pub, the Colvile Arms (Charles Robert Colvile was living at Lullington Hall in the 1850s). In 1850, it had a school that was designed to take fifty children.

Together with neighbouring Netherseal, it is the southernmost village in Derbyshire.

History
Lullington is mentioned in the Domesday Book where it is then spelt Lullitune. The book says  under the title of "The lands of the King's Thegns":In Lullington Auti had five carucates of land to the geld. There is land for five ploughs. There now Edward has of the king 21 villans and three bordars having four ploughs. There is a priest and one mill rendering 6s 8d (33p) and twelve acres of meadow. TRE as now worth four pounds."

Adams is the state's forgotten peak, the second tallest of Washington's Cascades but a mountain that has long been overshadowed by Rainier's height and St Helens' explosive power. Nonetheless, Adams remains an impressive mountain; the lack of a major glacier on its south side allows for a comparatively easy, nontechnical ascent for aspiring peak-baggers. On its lower slopes Adams is renowned for the juicy huckleberries and pretty wildflowers that fill its grassy alpine meadows during a short but intense summer season.
While most climbs are nontechnical slogs up a glacier, even these require basic climbing gear. The easiest approach (grade II) is from the south, via Cold Springs Campground, and up the South Spur to the summit. The climb is best between May and August. Climbers should sign in and out at the USFS ranger station at either Trout Lake or Randle. For guided hikes contact Seattle-based Mountain Madness.

Roman Chukov Comments on the Forum
The first Russian Youth Internet Governance Forum (Youth RIGF) will be held on April 6 at Skoltech. It will result in the adoption of a "youth message" which will reflect youth's vision of the future of the Web and will be made available to the Russian and global Internet community.
Young People are the Most Active Internet Users
As is known, about 95.5 million people in Russia use the Internet, which makes up about 78.1% of the population. It is no secret that young people have traditionally been the most "involved" audience in the internet space. Last year, the proportion of Internet users aged 12 to 24 years in Russia was close to 100% and amounted to 97.1%, and in the 25-34 age bracket, 95.8% of Russians use the Internet at least once a month.
As a result, any processes on the Internet ranging from the launch of new services and platforms to government initiatives regulating the online space - primarily resonate with the young audience.
In this context, it is obvious that their participation in developing the virtual environment is essential.
A special platform has been created to enable young Internet users to discuss their vision of the Internet environment with industry experts and express their opinions on how it should be organized and regulated.
In line with the global trend
"In fact, there are youth directions of the UN Internet governance forum in various countries of the world," says Roman Chukov, a Russian representative in the UN Internet governance Forum and a representative of the Competence Center for Global IT Cooperation. Today, national and regional branches have emerged in a number of countries, including Russia. There are also youth forums on Internet governance developing in many countries. In our country, such a forum - namely, the first Youth Internet Governance Forum (Youth RIGF) in Russia – is to take place on April 6 at Skolkovo Tech.
Similar forums have been set up in Germany, Argentina, Italy, the Netherlands, China, India and other countries.
Their main goal is consistent with that of the Russian forum: to introduce young people to the idea of Internet governance and to involve young people in relevant discussions at the national, regional and global levels.
"I hope that the Russian forum will become one of those links between the youth section of society - young IT professionals, young government officials, company representatives and, in fact, all their adult counterparts," Chukov said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
"Youth Message"
According to him, the goal here is to get a real picture of what our young people think about, what ideas they have. "Because youth always means a driver, youth always means development," he stated.
The forum will culminate in a kind of "youth message".
The message will reflect the results of the discussions at the forum's sections and a certain model of young people's vision of the Internet future and will be further passed to the Russian and global Internet community.
Last year Russia's initiative to establish the Forum was recognized by the United Nations and on March 11, the UN Secretariat sent to its organizers an official letter of congratulations and gratitude for the work done in its preparation.
UN Recognition of the Russian Initiative
More specifically, the United Nations found the Russian initiative to have been organized in full conformity with the main principles of the UN Internet Governance Forum: openness, inclusiveness and non-commercial nature.
The UN secretariat also noted the compliance of the Russian Youth Forum program in Russia with the NRIs (National, Subregional, Regional and Youth Initiatives).
Despite the fact that the Youth Internet Governance Forum is being held in Russia for the first time, its agenda is distinguished by precision and topicality.
Instead of taking general topics related to the Internet space, the forum organizers focused on problems that are relevant right now and reflect major global and Russian trends. For example, the forum will discuss the problem of personal data protection – as there has been a global trend to limit this data collection and processing that violate personal users' rights.
The Forum's sections
It is known that Russia is "in the forefront" of this issue: the end of last year saw a law passed enabling the Russians to demand the removal of their personal data from the public domain if they are not happy with the way the data are used. The forum will discuss the extent to which control over personal data collection and processing depends on people, and the extent to which it depends on the perfection of legal instruments and technology.
"I am just moderating the section "My personal data," who it belongs to and whose it really is," said Roman Chukov. - There we will discuss all these problems, we shall discuss the 108 Convention on personal data with representatives of the Council of Europe and we shall discuss those formats in Russia and in the world, on best practices of data processing and the need for some global standard-setting initiatives with representatives of Russian business and the deputy head of Roskomnadzor. I hope it will all be very interesting.
The experts will also listen to the Forum's young participants about what should be done to support the beginning specialists to stop the brain drain.
The state is already actively improving working conditions for young people in the IT sphere by providing grants, creating innovative clusters, developing IT directions in universities, and introducing significant regulatory relief for IT companies and their employees.
Over the last year alone, two packages of industry support measures were proposed, and one of them is already being implemented this year: "digital sandboxes" have started working and a tax maneuver is being carried out. The opinion of young specialists, which will be voiced at the youth forum, will determine further vectors of support for the Russian industry.
The TikTok Generation
The other two sections will raise no less important topics: the problem of digital addiction and the specifics of popular social networks and how well they satisfy the interests of their main audience - young people.
"A very hype, interesting and unconventional topic will be raised -- '2020 is the year of TikTok,'" Chukov says. --. It will be interesting to talk about how the platform is developing, what are general trends in the development of social networks, how we consume content, what type of content is generally in demand, what young people need, why they see social elevators in the social media and TikTok, in particular".
As far as social elevators are concerned, Rosmolodezh will examine the projects submitted for the forum contest," Roman Chukov explained. - Perhaps, the best projects will be supported with grants.
Developing the Forum's initiatives
In terms of further development of the forum, one of the brightest features of the event will be the selection of the youth digital ombudsman, Chukov told Gazeta.ru.
"Now there are six candidates, all their profiles have been made available to the public on the website, and people even are voting in their support. At the forum itself, there will be a presentation of ombudsmen's programs.
A specially selected jury will assess the feasibility of these programs, and a representative of Russia's younger generation will be chosen at the forum," he said.
"In general, our Competence Center for Global IT cooperation intends to be just such a back-office, both for the youth ombudsman and for Russia's adult initiatives to accompany her participation in the UN Forum on Internet Governance," said Roman Chukov.

Long Pigs is a 2007 mockumentary comedy-horror  film about two documentary filmmakers who follow a serial killer who has a taste for cooking with human flesh.  Acting and the special effects were provided by Chris Bridges.

Filming took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Plot
Two desperate and young filmmakers stumble upon the ultimate subject, a 33-year-old cannibalistic serial killer named Anthony McAllister, who has agreed to let them document every aspect of his horrifically violent life-style.  Initially terrified, the filmmakers get to know Anthony as a person. They even begin to identify with his ecological and philosophical justifications for his cannibalistic lifestyle.

It's only when they investigate further that the filmmakers begin to doubt Anthony's accounts of his past. Tensions noticeably rise as the filmmakers continue to confront Anthony on his conflicting stories and ever-changing philosophies. During an awkward interview, the filmmakers interview Merle, the father of a young girl who was abducted and never found. This abduction was Anthony's first child victim. Merle welcomes them into his home and gives them a heart-felt experience that even Anthony is touched by.

As the documentary reaches its conclusion, Anthony begins to become uncomfortably aware of how much of his life he has revealed to these filmmakers. In a final interview with Anthony, a deadly confrontation erupts, and all that remains is a broken camera and this footage.

Donald Trump Warns Google, Facebook, Twitter To Be Careful
Moses Adeyemi
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Google, Facebook and Twitter to tread carefully on Tuesday after recently accusing internet and social media firms of political bias and censorship, without providing evidence.
"I think what Google and what others are doing, if you look at what's going on with Twitter, if you look at what's going on with Facebook, they better be careful because you can't do that to people," he said in remarks at the White House.
"So I think that Google, and Twitter and Facebook, they are really treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful. It's not fair to large portions of the population."
