"Toy Story 3" is the oddball among this year's best picture nominations: it's the only animated film, the only G-rated film, the only sequel and the only one primarily aimed at children. Nonetheless, the Pixar comedy found universal favor among grown-up audiences, with perhaps special resonance for those who were children when the first "Toy Story" movie came out in 1995. In "Toy Story 3," Woody the cowboy doll, Buzz Lightyear and the gang must cope with the passing of time: Andy, the child who once played with them, is going off to college, and the toys, mourning the loss of their friend, must contemplate a scary new life at a day-care center. It's a sweet and artful film, though I think not quite at the level of the first two (or of Pixar classics such as my favorite, "Up"), and while it hasn't a chance at the big prize, it's sure to take home the animated-film award.
Total U.S. box office: A massive $415 million, leading all movies for 2010.
Total Oscar nominations: Five, for best picture, animated feature, adapted screenplay, sound editing and original song ("We Belong Together" by Randy Newman).
Best chance for a win: Right after Colin Firth, the surest thing in this Oscars is "Toy Story 3" winning best animated film (though there's definitely support for "How to Train Your Dragon" and "The Illusionist"). Newman could well pick up his second Oscar (though he's been nominated 20 times, famously winning on his 16th try) for "We Belong Together" — OK, I don't remember the song, but I don't remember any of the nominated songs, so there you go. The other nominations are the longest of long shots.
Odds of this movie creating any fabulous Oscar-night weirdness: Well, if it won best picture, it would be the first animated film to do so and would cause quite a stir — but you can count on that not happening. Otherwise, short of Newman making a funny speech (on his previous win, he grinned and said "I don't want your pity") or animated characters storming the podium, don't expect too much Pixar-related excitement.
Where I'd rank this film among the 10 Best Picture contenders: 10. Sorry. They're all good.

BitMEX exec Greg Dwyer trial delayed until October 2022
Business 30 December 2021
One of the top executives at digital currency derivatives exchanges, BitMEX, has managed to buy more time before the start of his trial. Greg Dwyer argued that he hadn't had enough time to prepare for the trial as he has been fighting extradition from his home in Bermuda to the United States.
Dwyer is one of the four leaders at BitMEX charged by U.S. authorities over allegedly breaking anti-money laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations knowingly while in charge of the exchange. These charges have been settled, but the U.S. Department of Justice is still pursuing the four for violating the Bank Secrecy Act.
Dwyer was the head of operations at BitMEX. Being the first employee that the exchange founders ever hired, he was very influential in the decisions and actions the exchange took and was allegedly fully knowledgeable of the illegal processes the exchange was undertaking.
The Sydney, Australia-born man has been charged alongside the three BitMEX founders Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed. The three have already surrendered to U.S. authorities and stand to face up to five years behind bars if they are convicted.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, lawyers for Dwyer argued that he hadn't had as much time to prepare for the trial as the other three. He was focused on fighting extradition from Bermuda to the U.S., an attempt that wasn't successful in the end.
"The defendant will have had substantially less time than the other defendants to prepare for trial and would be prejudiced by the lack of time to prepare for this complex case," Dwyer's lawyers said.
U.S. District Judge John Koeltl agreed to the request to delay his trial, the outlet reports. The trial for the other three will proceed months earlier than Dwyer's, which is scheduled to start in October next year.
Damian Lewis, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who is prosecuting the four, fought against the delay but ultimately lost. Damian argued that Dwyer had known the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was investigating him for over two years.
"While Dwyer will have less time to prepare than his co-defendants had, Dwyer has been aware of investigations into BitMEX since at least April 2019, when he answered extensive questions from the CFTC under oath, and he has been specifically aware of the charges in the Indictment for the same amount of time as his co-defendants," the prosecutor argued.
He further claimed that Dwyer would have had just as much time to prepare for the trial had he surrendered himself to U.S. authorities earlier like the others did, an opportunity which he was offered but declined.
Damian argues that holding the trial of the three founders before Dwyer's will give the Aussie an unfair advantage as he will already have known the evidence that the prosecutors plan to use against him.
BitMEX has already settled with the CFTC and FinCEN for its failure to implement all the required AML and KYC procedures. In August this year, the exchange agreed to pay $100 million in fines and penalties to the two regulators. This was the largest penalty imposed on a digital currency firm in the U.S. since 2017 when a court imposed a $110 million fine on the now-defunct Chinese exchange BTC-e. BitMEX also pledged to cease serving U.S. clients.
However, the justice department is unrelenting in its pursuit of justice over its violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. And while the settlement with the CFTC was great for the exchange, it landed them in more trouble as part of the settlement stipulated that BitMEX would share loads of corporate records with prosecutors.

If you're booking your driving test then you'd be forgiven for thinking that the location of the test doesn't matter a great deal. Yet, according to data from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) the location can mean the difference between a pass or a fail.
Belvedere in the London Borough of Bexley has the lowest pass rate of any driving centre in the UK. According to the DVSA, there were 4796 driving tests in Belvedere between 2016 – 2017, but just 1352 of those drivers achieved a pass. As a result, you're more likely to fail here than anywhere else in England, Scotland or Wales.
Maybe it's the Barnett testers themselves who need to sit a retest for testers. That's such a poor pass rate something is clearly wrong.
This list isn't really a surprise to me, given that driving on very busy roads in major cities, with the added headache of more pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists (especially couriers, who often ignore road signs [even one way streets1] and traffic signals [running red lights when pedestrians/cars are crossing in front) on top.
I learned in the Edgware/Stanmore/Hendon area of North London, which is also near the Police training school at Hendon, and as such (I was told this by my instructor) examiners are much more strict than in other areas. Traffic etc as mentioned above was nasty around the 'high street' areas and junctions of major roads (such as the A1, A5 and A41).
I have a lot of difficulties in driving a car that you have tested before and only you can not. The skills of doing homework as well as how not to fail when practicing.
I took my test in Devon and you'd think it would be easier than driving in a city but I was wrong. Tractors, blind junctions, high hedges, cow s***, etc. but no motorways and only a few dual carriageways. It could be that London testers are trying to prevent people from driving or maybe they get a cut from the driving schools who charge such ridiculous prices for lessons.


Thank you to all the men & women who have served, do serve, or will serve in our military.
You sacrifice it all so we can have it all. Thank you.
Thank you to my grandfathers, my uncle, and my brother-in-law.
My paternal grandpa fixed planes overseas in Japan while my maternal grandfather flew them. I am in awe of their dedication and resilience.
Thank you to the wives and husbands, moms and dads, siblings, friends, and family members of military men and women.
I can't imagine saying "goodbye" and not knowing if or when you'll get to say "hello" again.
Thank you to the dogs, horses or other animals that have served along side soldiers in the line of fire.
If you've never looked into the role dogs play in war you definitely should- it's amazing.
It's Tuesday now, but I don't think "thank you"s are limited to Memorial Day.
So thank you to our soldiers. And thank you to their families.
Totally agree- our thankfulness truly should continue beyond Monday!
This is so sweet Louise! And I agree, thank yous should never be limited to just one day.
Yes, so agree. Wishing to extend thanks every day. Such a wonderful post.

Taiwanese premier in new tack on Beijing
cctang July 31, 2016, 1:38am #1
china.scmp.com/chitoday/ZZZPS2VCSNE.html
Signalling a softening of Chen's line on trade, he urges cross-strait pragmatism
LAWRENCE CHUNG in Taipei
Taiwanese Premier Su Tseng-chang yesterday signalled he would adopt a pragmatic approach in dealing with the mainland - a day after President Chen Shui-bian shocked the island by saying he would cede powers to the premier amid a snowballing insider trading scandal.
Mr Su's declaration came as two powerful aides of Mr Chen resigned. The embattled president, who has been forced to apologise publicly over the scandal involving his son-in-law, approved their resignations.
Mr Su said that while it was right for Taiwan to be cautious over security concerns in cross-strait policy, the government must have confidence in dealing with the mainland.
"Such a confidence has been a decisive factor that has made Taiwan an international business hub in the past 400 years," Mr Su told mainland-based Taiwanese businessmen.
Mainland Affairs Council chairman Joseph Wu Jau-shieh told the gathering he expected to see regular cross-strait passenger charter flights and the opening of the island for mainland tourists in four to five months.
Observers said the declaration by Mr Su was a departure from Mr Chen's hardline trade policy towards the mainland, indicating Mr Su would pursue a pragmatic policy in dealing with Beijing.
The Presidential Office said yesterday the deputy presidential secretary-general, Ma Yung-cheng, and National Security Council Advisory Body member Lin Ching-chang had tendered their resignations, which were approved by the president.
Opposition legislators and critics said Mr Ma had been forced to resign because President Chen feared that he might be hurt further by new scandals that would come to light soon involving the presidential aide.
"Ma Yung-cheng is allegedly involved in a number of influence-peddling cases, including the personnel changes of some banking and state-run enterprises," alleged opposition Kuomintang legislator Chiu Yi.
Political commentator Hu Chung-hsin said Mr Chen was afraid that allegations against Mr Ma might once again drag him into troubled waters, and he had made Mr Ma resign as a result.
Mr Ma, known as the president's most powerful aide, had been a loyal assistant of Mr Chen for 15 years, dating back to the time when the island's leader was still a legislator. Mr Lin, also a highly influential aide, served as information chief of the Taipei city government when Mr Chen was mayor and was the chief speech writer for the president.
On Wednesday night, Mr Chen announced he would relinquish some powers to Premier Su, in a surprise move critics saw as an attempt to head off mounting calls for him to step down after his physician son-in-law, Chao Chien-ming, was arrested over an insider trading scandal.
Dr Chao's alleged involvement in the scandal has fuelled the wrath of the public.
James Soong Chu-yu, head of the opposition People First Party, said yesterday his party would mobilise tens of thousands of supporters to protest in front of the Presidential Office tomorrow to demand that Mr Chen step down. He said it was absurd for Mr Chen to say he would cede powers to the premier because he should never have held the powers belonging to the premier in the first place.
Is Su Tseng-chang trying to steal Mayor Ma thunder, by getting invited to Beijing to sign a 50 year peace treaty?
reztrop July 31, 2016, 1:38am #3
If Su consistently takes a pragmatic approach to Beijing, which seems to be the case here, he could pose a significant challenge to Ma in 2008 by acting as the DPP's pragmatic equivalent of Ma.
A lot of Taiwanese businessmen on the mainland have pro-Green tendencies, albeit a moderate, pragmatic one that puts business ahead of idealism. Su's conciliatory approach to Beijing could appeal to them, and earn him a following on the mainland.
If he is consistent in this new approach, 2008 could be a very close election.
If Su even last at the positon till 2007 you mean. No one has lasted more than a year in that position in recent times.
If the LY doesn't drag Su down, eventually CSB ego will drag Su down.
Chewycorns July 31, 2016, 1:38am #5
I am no fan of the Presidential 'boy scouts' as my numerous posts about working for Taiwan's international development agency have repeatedly demonstrated.
While I am glad Su is taking a more pragmatic pro-business approach, I can hardly take Lawrence Chung's writings seriously. As an ex-Straits Times journalist, I can honestly say he is Felix Soh's pro-blue lapdog.


The daily grind often makes it difficult to look back on lessons learned in the workplace. Time is in short supply, but carving out a small block of it to reflect is important—the best people I've worked with frequently weigh the work they're doing and the person they're bringing to work.
1. A little stress is a good thing.
The best kind of stress? Urgency. Feeling hurried is invigorating and drives you toward the finish line. You want to hold tight to a sense of haste without losing the headspace needed for strategy and forward thinking. After all, even the broadest shoulders can't bear the burden of constant anxiety for long.
Ambitious deadlines help keep the pace. It'll take some practice: enthusiasm too often makes for overly optimistic time estimates. As a rule, let your gut guide you to a date that "feels right," then try to shorten it further.
As every writer knows, the most important ideas are prone to sit around idly, waiting to be conjured at the eleventh hour. Only a looming deadline can summon them.
2. Leadership isn't just for appointed leaders.
Think of a time in your career when a project went sour. The response that stayed with you probably came from the person who made the first move, took ownership, and rallied everyone toward a better outcome.
Leadership in these cases doesn't rest on roles and hierarchy, but on an ability to elevate the people around you. The late college basketball coach Jim Valvano described such a personality as "one of those people who, after you speak to them, you always feel better than before." Even if the conversation is hard, even when discussing your current shortcomings or failings, you always leave with sights set high and the belief you can get it done.
Cherish the co-workers who care enough to push you; better yet, return the favor. Give the gift of encouragement, and never let pessimism drag down the spirits of those around you.
3. You are the easiest person to fool.
It takes awareness to always share the unblemished truth, but you must keep stubborn standards: no one executes well without a firm grip on reality. Remember, it's the seemingly innocuous, almost "positive" white lies ("Um, looks great!") that most often sneak in and warp fact.
Some lies feel so small we actually say them out loud, unknowingly: "Yup, that's all finished, I just need to…" Read: it's not actually done, but we've convinced ourselves otherwise. A slight smudge of the truth feels insignificant, but with enough smudges, reality becomes a blur.
4. Grade your work as a whole, not as an outcome.
After shaking off a fit of imposter syndrome, giving this a go myself led to a different realization—not once did I consider the execution, only the outcome. If there were bumps along the way, they didn't make their way into my grading.
That's a mistake; a positive outcome at any cost isn't realistic. For example, I recalled helping out on one of our job postings, and when I considered the result, I went with a confident "A." But then I remembered how long it took and the slight confusion I created by revising a section that didn't need revising. A minor misstep, but the room for improvement was obvious.
'Better than before' most often means improving execution and outcome, not one or the other.
5. A failure to communicate is your failure.
The job of communication is, in the words of author Neal Stephenson, "to condense fact from the vapor of nuance." The burden of understanding is on you, not your audience.
"That's not what I meant" is thus an admission of failure. To effectively share information is to be clear and captivating—in emails, in memos, in everything. Never assume attention is yours to keep without effort.
As a comedian on stage, you either kill, or you die. Harsh, right? But a small serving of angst will compel you to make points with a fierce exactness.
6. Feedback is an outcome-oriented activity.
I've always favored the term "necessarily honest" over "brutally honest," because feedback is instructive language given to positively influence behavior. Feedback should be as blunt as it needs to be to incite change, and no more. Even brutally honest feedback is about being honest; it's never about being brutal.
7. Energy + focus = productivity.
8. Research should seek truth, not validation.
The purpose of learning—whether through research, debate, or any other means—is to arrive at the truth. But as illustrator Kris Straub demonstrates below, it's an easy principle to champion but a hard one to live by.
After all, "strong opinions, weakly held" only becomes tricky at the weakly held part, especially when working with a team. Your own ideas, your favorite ideas, and the ideas you hope are correct frequently need to be cast aside for the greater good. Be willing to kill your darlings; finding the best possible solution depends on it.
9. Better judgement tends to show up late.
The worst regret is dealing with an eternity wrought from a hot-headed decision. H.G. Wells may have been asking too much when he said to wait for the common sense of the morning, but at the very least, have the patience to give it five minutes. What seems "right" in the heat of the moment often feels foolish once your good sense has had time to catch up.
Given the theme of rediscovery, I wonder what my opinion of these ideas will be in one year's time. If I'm lucky, core tenets will crystallize and a few misconceptions will be discarded. Even if a handful of points are completely trashed, it's better to have made the mistake than to keep making it.

Attorney General Madigan Announces Consent Order with 300 West LLC and the Arnold Engineering Co.
June 3, 2016 Press Latest Local News
Order Ensures Safe Drinking Water for Marengo Area Residents
Chicago —(ENEWSPF)–June 3, 2016. Attorney General Lisa Madigan today announced a consent order with 300 West LLC and The Arnold Engineering Co. that will provide residents near Marengo, Ill., with a permanent source of safe drinking water. The order will also require the companies to investigate and remediate on- and off-site soil and groundwater contamination.
The order was entered this week in McHenry County Circuit Court and provides a permanent drinking water solution for homeowners whose private well water safety was compromised by groundwater contamination from the site located at 300 N. West Street in Marengo. Under the order, Arnold and the property's owner, 300 West, have agreed to extend and install the city of Marengo's municipal water infrastructure to nearby residents. The defendants will be required to perform and fund the project.
The order also requires Arnold and 300 West to submit to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) a comprehensive plan detailing steps to remediate on- and off-site soil and groundwater contamination. Arnold manufactures magnets and other metals that are used in products including motors, generators, batteries and sensors.
Madigan's office previously obtained an immediate injunction requiring the company to determine the extent of the contamination and provide residents with safe bottled water until a permanent solution was agreed upon.
"This consent order will provide a permanent source of safe drinking water to homeowners," said Madigan.
Under the order, Arnold and 300 West will also pay more than $214,000 in civil penalties and reimbursements to the state, as well as $2,400 for five years of water bill payments to each homeowner who elects to receive a hook-up to the city public water.
The IEPA referred this case to Madigan's office after testing revealed elevated levels of cancer-causing agents, including trichloroethylene (TCE) and vinyl chloride, in groundwater near the site.
Water samples collected in 2013 revealed elevated levels of hazardous chemicals in several nearby private wells. The levels exceeded groundwater quality regulations in at least two of the drinking water wells. As a result, Madigan's office filed a complaint against the defendants alleging substantial danger to the environment, public health and welfare, and water pollution.
Assistant Attorneys General Kathryn Pamenter and Stephen Sylvester handled the case for Madigan's Environmental Bureau.

Q: RubyOnRails: url_for application root i know that doing
url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'home')

I will get, for example, http://localhost/home
But how do i handle to genereate http://localhost

A: You can also use:
ActionController::Base.relative_url_root
i.e. #{ActionController::Base.relative_url_root}/images/my_img.jpg

A: This is an old question, but it still ranks high in searches. Currently, use root_url.
e.g.
<%= link_to "fully qualified root", root_url %>

will generate
fully qualified root

A: to get http://localhost, you'll simply:
<%= link_to "Home", root_path %>

That'll generate: Home which will effectively link to http://localhost

A: Depending on what your goals are, there are a few ways to use the server name or base URL. For the general case of, "I just need a reliable base URL that I can use anywhere," I use the config method.
# via routes.rb
map.root :controller => "foo", :action => "bar"
# view/controller:
root_url # inflexible. root_url will only ever be one URL

# via request object
url_for("http://"+request.host) # not available in models

# via config file (see railscast 85)
# environment.rb
APP_CONFIG = YAML.load_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/config.yml")[RAILS_ENV]

Beautiful veteran actress, Eucharia Anunobi, is a talented movie star, filmmaker and pastor. In 1994, Eucharia woke up famous thanks to the movie, 'Glamour Girls'. Her unclad bathroom scene with Zack Orji caused lots of debates among Nigerians then. She had gone on to star in over 90 movies including, 'Abuja Connection'. She's currently an ordained pastor in Lagos.
Eucharia, who lost her only child two years ago to sickle cell anaemia, speaks with ABIOLA ALABA PETERS on combining her divine assignment with acting.
One thing I've come to realise in this life whether you like it or not, there are people who are called negative minded people. So no matter what you do, they will have their own preconceived mindset about what you do or your personality.
So for me, I don't mind them because whether you like it or not God exists and Satan has his own people too who propagate evil. So I don't bother about them. They are behind me. I don't bother about misconceptions. They are not things I waste my energy on.
It's a career that I really love. It's more of the challenges outside or people's perception of my roles. When you play a role and you are outside, people tend to think that you are the role that you play. That's anything I will say is challenging but for my job, I love it and no matter the upheaval or you know several things that may not be right in the process of acting, they aren't troubles to me. Rather they are what I call propellers that help me to do my job well.
The only thing you know like I said is when you finish acting the role, when people see you outside tend to equate the characters you have played to your personal life which is not true and not right but for me I am fine with that because most times when people see you outside and they say, oh she did that role very well. It means I carried out my duty very well so I am excited.
Well I thank God almighty for the strength and the power. I also look at it that God is able to manage all the countries in the world and he has the leadership and the managerial skills to coordinate all the whole affairs; so the same thing is bestowed upon me.
The same ability to be able to coordinate affairs of being his preacher, his vessel and also an actor but don't forget again, I am also a pastor. You find out that you don't preach every day from morning till night, and then from Sunday to Monday.
Being a preacher that people call to preach in different places in the country has a timetable and schedule because when they want me to come preach in their churches either in this country or outside, you know there is a time table. So I work with timetable, same thing with acting.
So when a producer or director wants to call you for a job, they ask what your timetable is and with timetable and timing, I'm able to coordinate myself. If I have a preaching engagement in a church, I know how to organize myself that it does not clash with my acting schedule as well. That's if you learn how to prioritise, learn to manage and then keep them in their right proportion.
Of course, yes, God's word generally inspires me. Look at the story of king David when he was in trouble had to act by disguising and making himself look like he was mad or he was an imbecile to be able to get across.
And I looked at these things and I said, oh these are gifts from the almighty God and you can develop and perfect with that. So often when I am working on set, I get my inspiration from God that I need to do the best because God is a creative person.
I am doing my work as an actor; his ultimate Spirit comes upon me that I am to make it real. Creativity attracts you know and for me I want to enlarge my coast because it's been said in the holy book in the Bible that those of us are blessed with gift because every human being is blessed with gift so if you don't use it properly, you will give account of it.
So for me like you asked, God is my great inspiration and then I do not want to be held accountable that I did not use the gift that he gave me while on earth.
