Are brokers aware of funding options for graduate businesses?
Theo Osborn | 17:01 Tuesday 9th October 2018 | 3
There is a "deficit" in the level of education with regards to broker awareness of graduate business funding, according to Mark Brownridge (pictured above), the director-general of the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association.
In an exclusive interview with Bridging & Commercial, Mark commented that there was also a lack of understanding from graduates and start-up entrepreneurs on where they can get the funding they need.
"Anybody discussing investment options with a broker will be receiving expert advice, however, they need to be mindful of commercial associations underpinning any discussion where the expert is not wholly impartial," said Mark.
"Trade associations and government websites are always a good place to start.
"With regards to broker awareness on graduate funding, I do believe that there is a deficit [in] the level of education."
Mark stated that while the Bank of Mum and Dad would always be there for an initial business kick-start, schemes such as the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) would begin to become more popular.
"The scheme has a history of bringing investors and SMEs together, and I think many new business leaders are not just looking for funding any more, but also guidance and experience.
"That is how the funding environment is changing and will continue to change in the future."
The SEIS helps businesses which have less than £200,000 of assets and have been trading for less than two years.
It offers tax efficient benefits to investors in return for investment in small and early-stage, start-up businesses.
Mark argued that a reliance on finance from the Bank of Mum and Dad limited opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs from less affluent backgrounds.

Scottish government to provide new funding for entrepreneurs
As a broker, how often have your clients paid default interest rates over 3% pm?
"…That is why we are seeing various finance options trying to close this gap, ensuring that funding is as accessible as possible for those who need it.
"Crowdfunding has been a popular source of financing for around a decade, but without any guidance that comes with the finance – as well as a highly diluted market – many are turning away from this particular source of funding.
"Government-backed schemes – such as SEIS and then later down the line EIS – provide start-ups and scale-ups with access to finance from investors who, via investment houses, can support them as they grow."
Mark added that it was hosting events across the country called Ready, Steady, Grow to help give start-up entrepreneurs the tools to become more financeable.
"There is a lack of information surrounding the distinction between a start-up and a scale-up company.
"Our role is to ensure that we deliver the correct levels of education to all players involved.
"The UK's alternative finance arena is hugely diverse, with many different financing options applicable for the variety of growth stages an SME encounters from seed to series A, and B etc, so it may be confusing when you hear the terms in relation to a medley of business sizes.
"We always recommend seeking professional advice when exploring financial opportunities for your business."
Mark concluded by stating that the emergence of a sub-market for the start-up sector was inevitable.
"The seismic [impact] of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is testament to this.
"Education will always be the key to achieve the right funding for young entrepreneurs.
"The alternative finance arena has continued to evolve since its conception, and I believe that it will continue to do so."

Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.


The Exam Results Helpline is ready to open tomorrow and for the first time advisers will be answering questions on dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages , as well as helping students on 0808 100 8000.
Around 40 careers advisers will be helping students make the right choices, whether their grades are lower or higher than expected.
Students who are without a place (for any reason) on results day can use UCAS Clearing, while those who do better than expected could use the Adjustment service to find an alternative course.
Angus Siberry, a student who called the line last year achieved A*AA and was predicted AAB. "I was obviously very pleased with my results but it posed a dilemma that I hadn't been prepared for – whether to try to get into a different university or stick with my original choice.
Students across the UK who have received their exam results (A levels and GCSEs) can call in to talk through their options and to get advice about their future learning and career options. The helpline answered thousands of calls last year on topics including re-sits, vocational courses, gap years, funding, careers and employment.
This year the ERH is being supported by Hollyoaks actors Jazmine Franks, who plays Esther, Alfie Browne-Sykes, who plays Jason, and model Amy Willerton.

Q: Why can't I delete the current element when iterating over a list? I want to iterate over a list, perform an action with the elements and based on some criteria, I want to get rid of the active element. However, when using the function below I end up in an infinite loop.
 (defun foo (list action test)
   (do ((elt (car list) (car list)))
       ((null list))
     (funcall action elt)
     (when (funcall test elt)
       (delete elt list))))

(setq list '(1 2 3 4))
(foo list #'pprint #'oddp)
-> infinite loop

Is it not possible as it points to itself? In the end, elt is (car list) of course.
Is this a correct assessment? And how could I solve this efficiently?

A: The loop is infinite since you are not iterating over anything, you apply the action repeatedly, but if it doesn't mutate the element, as pprint obviously doesn't, then if the test result is negative then it will remain so and the list wouldn't empty even if the deletion worked as you attempt it.
DELETE is a destructive function. In Common Lisp destructive operations are allowed to destroy their argument. You are supposed to discard any references to the argument and use only the return value. After the operation is completed there are no guarantees about the state of the argument. In particular, there might be no effect as implementations are also allowed to act identically to a non-destructive counterpart, but usually the component parts of the sequence will be reassembled in some difficult to predict way. You are also destroying a literal in your example, which has undefined behaviour and it should be avoided.
It is generally best to treat lists in Common Lisp as immutable and destructive operations as a microoptization which should only be used when you are sure they won't break anything. For this problem you might want to iterate over the list using LOOP assembling the result list with conditional COLLECT. See the LOOP chapter of PCL.

A: Actually you can alter the state of your list while iterating over it. You will just have to use rplacd in addition to delete, and control the advancement along the list not in the iteration clause, but inside the do body:
 (defun nfoo (lst action test)
   (do* ((list (cons 1 lst))
         (elt (cadr list) (cadr list)))
        ((null (cdr list))
         (if (funcall test (car lst)) (cdr lst) lst))
     (funcall action elt)
     (if (funcall test elt)
       (rplacd list (delete elt (cddr list)))
       (setf list (cdr list)))))

You should call it via copy-list if you don't want it to destroy the argument list.
If you want to remove from your list not all elements equal to elt that passed the test, but rather all such that will pass the test, then the delete call will need to be passed the test function as the :test argument.
(edit:) and even much simpler and straightforward, like this (non-destructive) version:
(defun foo (list action test)
   (do* ((elt (car list) (car list)))
        ((null list))
     (funcall action elt)
     (if (funcall test elt)
       (setf list (delete elt list))
       (setf list (cdr list)))))

A: I'm a bit new to lisp, so perhaps I'm missing something in your question.  Still, I think I understand what you're asking, and I wonder why you're not using some existing structures for this... namely remove-if-not (or remove-if if I have things backwards) and mapcar...
(mapcar #'pprint (remove-if-not #'oddp '(1 2 3 4))

The above prints 1 and 3 (and returns (nil nil), but presumably you can ignore that... or you could do a defun that does the above and ends with (values)).  (If you wanted the evens, change remove-if-not to remove-if.)
This strikes me as perhaps a more sensible way to go about things, unless you're doing this for pedagogical reasons or I'm missing something... either of which I admit is quite possible.  :)
P.S.  Hyperspec info on remove-if, remove-if-not, etc.

Here's a new PERFORMER - more photos are available to see in the Showroom section of our website.
It is the new lattice-braced double top design Kenny's developed at a significantly lower cost than the SIGNATURE line.
These feature the same double-top design as the SIGNATURE model with European spruce/Nomex/Western red cedar as the soundboard components.
The PERFORMER also features sound ports found on the SIGNATURE.
Play one of these, and you will be pleased with the power and sweetness of this new model.
These will only be available directly from us.
Recently Hill Guitar, along with The Darling House and Waterbird Entertainment sponsored a house concert featuring guitarist Muriel Anderson.
Velzo catch up with her expansive garden, and she suggested that while she's in town she should do a house concert. I agreed to try it out, especially if she could play on my guitars, and she graciously agreed. I hadn't put on a concert like this before, but it was a good opportunity to try it out.
Santa Cruz. The setting couldn't be more beautiful, and the great room of the Darling House is a perfect place for a guitar concert.
Muriel is a natural entertainer. She is a fine classical guitarist, but her taste in music is a completely eclectic romp through styles including Spanish masterpieces, Chet style picking, Japanese music, Brazilian music, a Souza march and several of her own compositions including one that was just days old, untitled, with the audience being solicited for suggestions. We'll see if any of these suggestions stick.
I loved the way the guitars and the music sounded. I'm playing them every day, so I'm in close contact, but it's gratifying to hear others really making them sing. It's sentimental.
Muriel was joined by singer Rebecca Sayre at the end of the first set and beginning of the second, and Darrel Darling read a poem in tribute to his wife and their special life together at this magic place over the past 25 years.
I must recognize Steve Palazzo for the hand he played in getting the word out, not to mention providing the chairs. In the future I hope to bring in more artists who are playing my guitars, and others too. Darrel Darling is a natural big thinker, and he imagines musicians and poets and artists of many types coming through there year round. It's a grand idea and a fresh reminder that for some of us anyway, the music is what it's all about, and this is where it's best, right in the middle of our lives.
Earlier this year I began experimenting with lattice bracing as an alternate to the modest fan bracing that I have been using on my Signature Guitars for years. This came about after playing a guitar made with lattice by a dear friend, and I really liked it. I am far, far from finishing my experiment with this, but I want to offer an update of my reactions thus far, and those of the clients who are now playing these guitars every day.
It's interesting. The first three experiments were simple re-tops of existing guitars — I just pulled the old tops off and replaced them with double-tops braced with lattice. The results were intriguing. The first thing they had in common is a big bass, and a mysterious sustain to them, but also my first impression was the sound was a little edgy. I kept these guitars around while I built a from-the-ground-up Signature, in which I also modified several other features, increased the fingerboard elevation, and made the body bigger in particular.
This new Signature Guitar right away was impressive. It has a huge sound, a kind of explosive attack and very quick response. And it sounds lovely besides. In the mid range, like around the second and third strings first position, it is more hollow sounding than I'm accustomed to liking, but I wound up playing this guitar as my personal instrument for a couple of months, and I learned to work with this character in a pleasing way, and I must say, when I sold this guitar, I really missed it.
In the mean time I went back to the original re-tops, and they had changed dramatically. I've experienced this before, when a guitar hangs around for a while without being even played much, and it goes through a metamorphosis. These re-tops were surprising. The edginess was gone, and the expressiveness was excellent, and they played very quick. Each of these guitars has now been sold, and the players are reporting back with great reviews, and their friends are calling and asking where they can get them. I heard Rob Weller play one in a concert at Longay Conservatory of Guitar a few weeks ago, and the sound jumped off the stage. Any questions about its "guitar sound" vanished, because it sounded beautiful and fully present. It was used in an ensemble, and there was no doubt in it's ability to stand out.
inaccurate impression came about because Smallman and his followers popularized this bracing, but those guitars also have many other very heavy features, with an enormous cabinet-like plywood framing structure and a very thick arched back. Smallman guitars are indeed very heavy, something that characterizes them in a world apart.
Nor does lattice mean carbon fiber. Balsa wood lattice capped with carbon fiber is the common application, but I can't stand the carbon or the epoxy used to build this. I've just used light weight red cedar for the bracing, and it feels and smells wonderful.
I am putting the lattice on a double top. Some other guitar makers have critiqued the idea as redundant, and I too thought that to begin with. A double top is in a way an extension of the lattice engineering, using a thin skin, a lightweight geometric support (nomex) and a lightweight stiffener. But regardless of how you — or I — think about it, I am getting good results, and that's what counts.
Some players are attracted to the idea of both double-top and lattice because they want it all. It's like having an amp that "goes to eleven" , or a "sandwich with both French and rye", and maybe it's true. Double Top and Lattice are like two brands, sometimes competing for position as THE "modern" design. In my experience this dual combo is a sporty variation that has a real kick to it. I still won't say it is going to replace my fan bracing, but I will say I like it — a lot.
At the moment I'm finishing up another set of instruments that have double-top and lattice, but with a traditional body, that is, without the elevated fingerboard, laminated sides etc. It's just a traditional classical guitar body and look but with double-top braced with cedar lattice. I do include the sound ports. These guitars are aimed at making a somewhat simplified, and somewhat more affordable guitar, so that I can get them into the hands of more active players, and see how they do in the real world. This model has the potential to go into production and become more generally available, but these things do take time.
The Signature Model continues to be my baby, and even seems to be getting better. It's not too much trouble to simply alternate the bracing and get alternate results. My Signature Guitar is still a work in progress, and I kind of hope it always will be. I'm still not sure how far this will go, but it's still going.
So the update on lattice bracing and Hill Guitars is — the jury may still be out, but they are smiling.

Don't take the title of this post wrong. Nothing has happened to Genny. I just found some old photos of her and it got me sort of, well, sentimental. She is still at least a year away from leaving our nest. This is just a tribute to her as we wait the start of berry reports (first report in late June). I found this old picture from 1993 of Genny and me in our first duckboat, which I built from a kit (Folbot) purchased from cash wedding gifts received in 1988. Gen was and still is well known for falling asleep at the drop of a hat. In fact, she just fell asleep in my office while waiting for a phone call (I was not talking at all, by the way). The picture above was taken on the Portage waterway. We were participating in a flotila of sorts that was welcoming a Lake Superior--Lake Baikal (Siberia) "awareness" group. Don't recall the taker of the photo, a friend of Jackie Huntoon.
This was at a petting zoo in Dollywood, TN back in the summer of 1991. Little did we know that this would lead to an obsession with all things agricultural. More pictures of this obsession below (and throughout the blog).
Duckhunting in Duck Bay, near Chassell, with Jimmy Wood in 1992. Ten years later she would shoot her first duck and goose on the youth duck hunt opener from this very same location and same boat, sans Jimmy.
After a duck hunt, fall 1993.
Look at the concentration while fishing in the summer of 1994 (4 yrs old). I tried to fuel this interest into an obsession, but lack of success diminished enthusiasm to a more practical level.
If we could have just caught fish like this more often (farm pond raised rainbow)... (dog in the background was my brittany, Trisha, who passed on later that year, 1994).
"We" landed this salmon on Crooked Cr., where it joins the Kasilof, near Soldotna, AK, in June 2001. Gen's elbow was broken on the last day of 5th grade, on the monkey bars at recess. This particular fish made two long runs, the first downstream, then it seemed to tire, but then regained strength, turned and ran past us up stream for another long run. There were some frantic moments as Genny tried to ignore LOUD and mostly contradictory instructions from her overexuberant father on how to land the fish.
These were our first meat chickens. Gen quickly learned a personality difference between these chickens bred to grow fast and her favorites (bantams, see below).
This was her first, of many, pet chickens. She called this one Brownie (as artistically creative and technically ingenious, she can be, Gen has always been a lame namer of pets). Brownie was a pretty little something or other that sported partridge-colored feathering. Brownie not only would go on shoulder rides but would also allow being dressed up (by Gen) in doll clothes. Gen spent much more time playing with chickens than she did playing with dolls. Poor Brownie was a victim later in the fall to a barred owl that got into the coop and wiped out our first flock, save for one, Rosie, who spent a lot of time in a bird cage in the house before her death from old age (about 8 yrs for chickens). Improvements in our animal caretaking and chicken-coop security measures has resulted in "most" of our chickens expiring from old age these days.

Sacco Sez: Steve Sewell's draft day hinted at what he'd bring to Denver
Jim Saccomano
For the next four weeks we will take a look at four different first-round picks from Broncos history, starting with Steve Sewell.
Out of Oklahoma, Sewell was the Broncos' top draft choice with the 26th-overall pick in the 1985 NFL Draft.
At that time, the Broncos' head coach was Dan Reeves, and he was interested in taking the best and most versatile player available.
When he showed me the big board the day before the draft, Sewell's name jumped out at me. He had just completed a career in which he had done a little of everything for the Sooners out of his running back position, averaging 5.6 yards per carry and 19.7 yards per reception in his senior season.
Dan told me how impressive he had been in the team interviews.
Impressed with the young San Francisco native, the Broncos dug deeper and talked to everyone they could at Oklahoma, from head coach to equipment people to staff secretaries. Everyone raved about Sewell's character and he rose quickly on the Denver draft board.
So, he was our first round pick in 1985, and I soon found that every word said about him was true.
He was as classy and hard-working as any player I ever had, and he was a dream with the press.
He eventually played on three Super Bowl teams for Denver, but his first visit to Denver endeared him to everyone in the organization.
In addition to having great talents and versatility, he was textbook polite and nice.
We had him in right away to meet the press and staffers, and I asked him for his number in the Oklahoma dorm room.
Steve confided to me during his brief visit that he was anxious to get back to school because "I have a big term paper to finish."
I found that to be very uncommon for a first-round draft choice, to still be concerned with academics after having hit the NFL mother lode.
As it happens, the following Saturday night I was doing draftee bios on my kitchen table for our press guide and came across some questions I needed to answer.
So, I called Steve's number, fully expecting that he would not be in his room at midnight on a Saturday night.
But he answered right away. Steve was working on that term paper.
He answered my questions and we talked for a half hour, about Denver, values and common interests — we both liked movies a lot.
Sometimes you learn more from offhand comments than anything prepared.
I knew we had someone special right then and there.
Steve Sewell became a great player and a fan favorite in Denver.
Those qualities that were and still are so much a part of him led Dan Reeves to select him, and Sewell became a vital cog on our three championship teams of the 1980s.
Steve Sewell proved to be an outstanding choice as our first draft choice in 1985, and he remains in the Denver area today as Overland High School's head football coach.

Instagram boasts over 300 million active users, with 70 million photos shared every day; that's a lot of selfies. But as it turns out, Instagram's surge and unprecedented success in a sea of failed social media networks (we're looking at you, Google+), may be more linked to the way the brain works than those #nofilter pictures shared.
The human insatiable appetite for information in the digital world is only growing, so understanding your brain on Instagram can help you understand why you feel the need to check in every five minutes–and how to use that engagement to your advantage.
If you wanted to assign a generation to each social network, it might look something like this: The Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers are hanging out and sharing pictures of their grandchildren on Facebook. Facebook allows them to reconnect and toggle the flow of information to their news feed so it's not too overwhelming. Gen Y-ers? You'll find them on Twitter. Millennials rely on the microblogging site to give them quick-fire information and news to stay in the know while catering to their narcissistic natures. It's also where they're most likely to engage with brands and celebrities, which helps them feel heard.
But Gen Z? Those Internet users who are just coming of age in 2015 are on Instagram. In fact, Instagram has the youngest user base of all three social networks, with over 90 percent of their users under the age of 34 and 53 percent between the ages of 18 and 29. The more youthful tone of Instagram isn't just because Gen Z-ers are self-absorbed or hastag-obsessed: It's because their brains respond to information differently than the individuals cultivating their farms on Facebook.
Where information is so readily available, your brain learns to crave the reward of new content. Whether it's a post to a favorite forum, a funny tweet, or yes, a picture on Instagram, that reward of something new lights up neurons in the brain and release dopamine, that feel-good neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure.
The rapid pace of a visually stimulating medium such as Instagram multiples the effect of reward in the brain. After all, visual medium is processed 65,000 times faster than written or audio. If, in fact, a picture is worth a thousand words, the brain processes the new information from a delivery system like Instagram, leaving it hungry for more.
It's similar to an addiction: Your brain exacts pleasure from new content, so you're always left searching for more to get another high. It's why you check into your social networking profiles multiple times each day, and why Instagram is so popular with younger demographics. With brains that are hard-wired to accept information at breakneck speed, a visual medium like Instagram fulfills the need for something new.
Applying Instagram's appeal to eLearning applications should be a no-brainer. While pictures and 15-second videos might not be appropriate for longer-form training, it can become a platform for updates and reminders, as well as a tool for company culture. As social networking follows modern neuroscience, the shrinking of information becomes a factor for eLearning success.

Written by Healthoria.com – The Whole30 diet is a meal plan intended to reset your eating habits and help you identify which foods are causing you to gain weight, feel bloated, and effect your mood.
While many are using the Whole30 diet to lose weight it was started as a way to improve your overall health, well being, and happiness.
Here's how to start the Whole30 diet.
The word you'll often hear associated with Whole30 is "reset". The goal is follow a whole food diet for 30 consecutive days in order to reset your eating habits and identify trigger foods that are causing unwanted results.
These unwanted results can be in the form of weight gain, acne, dark circles under your eyes, and lack of energy.
After your 30 days on the Whole30 diet, you would then slowly re-introduce some of the foods you would normally eat to identify which foods are causing you problems.
For example, many people don't realize how gluten effects their body.
For some it causes skin problems, bloating, or stomach pain. Whole30 would help you identify exactly what gluten does to your body by removing it from meals, then reintroducing it after 30 days.
The big question is will you lose weight? And for the overwhelming majority the answer is, yes. But it's the immense number of other benefits that is making Whole30 so popular.
After your 30 days on Whole30 you can then begin to slowly re-introduce many of the foods you were eating to identify how it effects your body. Many are surprised to identify exactly which foods are causing their bloat or weight gain.
The natural transition that many choose after Whole30 is to begin the Paleo diet that has a similar whole foods philosophy but isn't as strict.

Ha acquisito fama internazionale nel 1997 recitando nel film Titanic di James Cameron, al fianco di Kate Winslet. Nel corso della sua carriera ha collaborato con registi come il già citato Cameron, Baz Luhrmann, Danny Boyle, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Sam Mendes, Sam Raimi, Woody Allen, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Quentin Tarantino e soprattutto Martin Scorsese, con cui ha stretto un sodalizio professionale sin dal 2002, considerandolo il suo mentore.

Nel 2016 ha vinto l'Oscar come miglior attore per la sua interpretazione di Hugh Glass in Revenant - Redivivo di Iñárritu. Tra i vari riconoscimenti ottenuti figurano anche sette candidature all'Oscar, tre Golden Globe su tredici candidature, uno Screen Actors Guild Award su dodici candidature, un premio BAFTA su sei candidature e due Critics Choice Awards su otto candidature. Nel 2014 è stato nominato Messaggero della Pace dal segretario generale delle Nazioni Unite Ban Ki-moon, mentre nel 2016 è stato inserito dalla rivista Time al primo posto tra le 100 persone più influenti del pianeta, nella categoria icona.

Biografia

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio è nato l'11 novembre 1974 a Los Angeles, in California, figlio di George DiCaprio (1943), un fumettista statunitense di origini italiane dal lato paterno. I bisnonni di Leonardo, Salvatore Di Caprio e Rosina Casella, erano originari di Napoli, secondo una notizia fatta circolare nel 1998, e la famiglia di Salvatore (1866) era originaria di Alife. I due si sposarono il 24 settembre 1893 a Manhattan, mentre nel 1902 sarebbe nato il nonno dell'attore, George Leon DiCaprio (1902-1965). La madre, Irmelin Indenbirken (1945), era una segretaria tedesca, nata a Oer-Erkenschwick (Nord Reno-Vestfalia) da padre tedesco, Wilhelm Indenbirken, e da madre russa, Helene Indenbirken, nata Yelena Smirnova (1915-2008), immigrata in Germania nel 1924. Anche la nonna paterna, Olga Anne Jacobs, era di nazionalità tedesca (1904-1984).

Il bambino fu chiamato Leonardo perché diede un calcio mentre la madre incinta stava osservando un dipinto di Leonardo da Vinci nella Galleria degli Uffizi di Firenze. Nel 1974 la famiglia DiCaprio si trasferisce sulla West Coast e in seguito i genitori si separano; Leonardo è costretto quindi a vivere con la madre nella periferia di Los Angeles, al 1874 Hillhurst Avenue di Echo Park. A causa di alcuni problemi economici, i due saranno costretti a cambiare sistemazione in più occasioni, abitando nei distretti di Montecito Heights, Garvanza e Montebello. Frequentò l'UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies e dopo il diploma, conseguito dopo aver portato a termine il General Educational Development (GED), iniziò a dedicarsi alla recitazione a tempo pieno. Leonardo visitò spesso durante la giovinezza i nonni materni Wilhelm e Helene in Germania.

Gli inizi (1990-1996)
La prima apparizione pubblica di Leonardo DiCaprio risale a quando aveva soltanto tre anni: nel 1978 venne invitato a partecipare a Romper Room, uno spettacolo televisivo per bambini andato in onda tra il 1953 e il 1994. Negli anni seguenti comparve in televisione per il suo primo spot pubblicitario, per una marca di latte, e all'età di 16 anni recitò nella serie televisiva Genitori in blue jeans; un ruolo minore gli venne affidato nella soap opera Santa Barbara, dove interpretò in alcuni flashback il ruolo di Mason Capwell da ragazzo.

Il primo ruolo cinematografico è del 1991 con la partecipazione al b-movie Critters 3. Nel frattempo, trovato un agente a Hollywood, rifiuta il consiglio da parte di questi di cambiare il proprio nome in Lenny Williams, considerato più american friendly, e nel 1999 lo protegge divenendone il titolare dal punto di vista commerciale.

All'età di 17 anni partecipa al provino per Voglia di ricominciare (This Boy's Life), per il ruolo di un ragazzino che affianchi Robert De Niro nei rispettivi ruoli di figliastro e patrigno. Sia il regista, lo scozzese Michael Caton-Jones, sia De Niro ne apprezzano lo spirito ribelle e l'assoluta mancanza di soggezione nei confronti dell'attore più esperto e ottiene la parte. Il film, all'uscita nelle sale, è apprezzato dalla critica.

L'anno seguente DiCaprio interpreta il ruolo di un ragazzo disabile nel film di Lasse Hallström Buon compleanno Mr. Grape, con Johnny Depp e Juliette Lewis, per il quale ottiene nel 1994 una candidatura ai Golden Globe e la prima candidatura agli Oscar come migliore attore non protagonista.

Nel 1995 interpreta il ruolo di The Kid nel western Pronti a morire. Nonostante la Sony Pictures fosse dubbiosa sulla scelta dell'attore, Sharon Stone, in veste di produttrice e interprete principale del film, lo volle fortemente, tanto da coprire lei stessa il costo del suo salario. Nonostante il cast di celebrità (oltre alla Stone e DiCaprio, Gene Hackman e Russell Crowe e la regia di Sam Raimi), il film si rivelò un insuccesso sia in termini di botteghino sia di critica.

Nello stesso anno interpreta
la complicata vita di Jim Carroll, un giovane ragazzo che si lasciò andare alla droga e alla delinquenza nei sobborghi di New York, nel film Ritorno dal nulla con la regia di Scott Kalvert. Successivamente ebbe un ruolo per travagliata esistenza di Arthur Rimbaud (ruolo ereditato da River Phoenix in seguito alla sua prematura scomparsa) in Poeti dall'inferno (regia di Agnieszka Holland), la cui storia è incentrata sul rapporto omosessuale tra il giovane poco più che adolescente e il più maturo Paul Verlaine, interpretato dall'attore inglese David Thewlis. I critici accolgono freddamente le due pellicole, criticandone regia e adattamento cinematografico.

Nel 1996 prende parte a Romeo + Giulietta di William Shakespeare dell'australiano Baz Luhrmann, in cui il dramma di Shakespeare viene rivisitato in chiave moderna, ma inalterato nei dialoghi e nei contenuti così come l'autore classico l'aveva concepito. Con questo film ottiene tre nomination agli MTV Movie Awards e viene premiato al Festival di Berlino nella categoria miglior attore. Nello stesso anno ottiene la parte per La stanza di Marvin al fianco di Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton (quest'ultima nominata agli Oscar) e Robert De Niro. Sempre nel 1996 fu considerato per il ruolo di James Dean in un film, ma l'attore rifiutò perché non si sentiva abbastanza preparato ed esperto per accettare quel ruolo.

Il successo

La consacrazione internazionale arriva quando, con un budget stimato intorno ai 200 milioni di dollari, James Cameron, già regista di film campioni d'incassi quali Aliens, True Lies e Terminator 2 - Il giorno del giudizio, si appresta a girare un colossal sentimentale ambientato sullo sfondo della tragedia del transatlantico Titanic. Dopo che Brad Pitt e Gwyneth Paltrow sono stati scartati e Sharon Stone ha rifiutato la parte, il ventiduenne DiCaprio accetta di interpretare il protagonista maschile Jack Dawson, un giovane, affascinante e squattrinato pittore proveniente dal Wisconsin che ha l'occasione di ritornarvi vincendo dei biglietti per la terza classe della nave e, a bordo, si innamora della protagonista femminile, l'aristocratica Rose DeWitt Bukater, interpretata da Kate Winslet, già nota al pubblico per la sua partecipazione al film di Ang Lee Ragione e sentimento. Titanic esce nel dicembre del 1997, diventando il film con il maggior incasso ( dollari nel 1998) e il maggior numero di premi Oscar mai realizzato, al pari solo di Ben Hur e, in seguito, Il Signore degli Anelli - Il ritorno del re.

Tra i mesi di aprile e giugno 1997, ancor prima dell'uscita di Titanic, DiCaprio vola in Francia per le riprese del film in costume La maschera di ferro, con Gabriel Byrne, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Gérard Depardieu, Anne Parillaud, per la regia di Randall Wallace, già sceneggiatore di Braveheart. Il film, ispirato al romanzo Il visconte di Bragelonne di Alexandre Dumas, gli fa aggiudicare un Razzie Award alla peggior coppia cinematografica, per la doppia interpretazione del re francese e di suo fratello gemello Filippo.

Nel 1998 partecipa a uno degli episodi di Celebrity di Woody Allen, che narra, attraverso le peripezie di un giornalista (Kenneth Branagh), come la fama e il successo possono cambiare e rovinare la vita delle persone. Insieme a lui Melanie Griffith, Winona Ryder, Charlize Theron, Judy Davis e Joe Mantegna.

Il sodalizio con Martin Scorsese e l'esordio come produttore
Il 2000 segna il ritorno sulle scene dell'attore, che accetta di apparire in un film del controverso regista inglese Danny Boyle, diventato celebre grazie al film Trainspotting del 1996. La pellicola è la trasposizione cinematografica del romanzo di Alex Garland The Beach, best seller nel Regno Unito, soprattutto tra il pubblico giovanile. DiCaprio partecipa attivamente alla realizzazione della pellicola, improvvisandosi anche sceneggiatore e autore di una scena in cui Richard, il suo personaggio, in preda a delirio di onnipotenza, è rappresentato come il protagonista in corsa di un videogioco. DiCaprio si fa seguire dai propri amici e due di essi vengono scritturati per recitare al fianco dell'attore.

Gli ambientalisti muovono forti accuse alla troupe rea di aver devastato l'isola di Phi Phi Island, utilizzata come set per il film, per meglio adattare la scenografia naturale alle esigenze della produzione, in particolare di aver divelto palme e non aver rispettato l'ecosistema locale. DiCaprio ottiene di essere ricevuto dall'autorità competente, promettendo un rispetto totale del luogo, il recupero di ciò che si credeva perduto e un ritorno d'immagine per l'isola non indifferente. Le proteste si placano e le riprese del film vengono portate a termine, ma sia critica sia pubblico bocciano il film. Grazie all'ingaggio da parte della Fox, l'attore guadagna  di dollari e le isole Phi Phi diventano la meta turistica tra le più richieste nelle agenzie di viaggio di tutto il mondo.
Successivamente recita come protagonista nel film di Martin Scorsese Gangs of New York, basato sul romanzo di Herbert Asbury Gangs of New York, insieme a Cameron Diaz. Nasce quindi un sodalizio artistico tra Scorsese e DiCaprio. Negli Stati Uniti il botteghino fa registrare un incasso superiore ai settanta milioni di dollari, il più alto in assoluto tra i film del regista italo-americano (almeno fino al 2006, anno di uscita di The Departed - Il bene e il male). Il film esce in tempo utile per concorrere all'annuale assegnazione degli Oscar e ottiene dieci nomination, non vincendo nessun premio.

Terminate le riprese di Gangs of New York, DiCaprio recita nel film di Steven Spielberg Prova a prendermi, che conta trentacinque diverse location. La storia è quella vera di Frank Abagnale, un sedicenne che riesce a truffare lo Stato per milioni di dollari finendo per questo sulla lista dei criminali più ricercati dall'FBI di tutti i tempi. Inizialmente la scelta per la regia cadde su Gore Verbinski (regista di The Ring) e quella per il ruolo di co-protagonista su James Gandolfini; alla fine Tom Hanks accetta il ruolo di co-protagonista al posto di Gandolfini e Spielberg stesso decide di dirigere il film. Il film esce nelle sale nel periodo natalizio, a brevissima distanza dall'esordio di Gangs of New York, tanto che DiCaprio si trova a concorrere per il comando al botteghino contro sé stesso. È candidato al Golden Globe nella categoria miglior attore in un film drammatico per il ruolo in Prova a prendermi. Negli Stati Uniti il film supera ampiamente la soglia dei centosessanta milioni di dollari a fronte dei cinquantacinque spesi per la sua realizzazione e i critici lodano il film.

Nel 2004 DiCaprio diventa anche produttore fondando la Appian Way Productions, producendo il film The Assassination con protagonista l'attore Sean Penn.
Nello stesso anno si rinnova la collaborazione con Martin Scorsese, con la produzione del film The Aviator. La pellicola appartiene alla categoria dei film biografici e DiCaprio è sia interprete principale sia produttore con la sua casa di produzione, la Appian Way. Il suo ruolo è quello di Howard Hughes, miliardario texano, pioniere nel campo dell'aviazione e gran mogol del mondo del cinema. Scorsese, per la realizzazione delle scenografie e degli interni, si affida alla coppia Dante Ferretti-Francesca Lo Schiavo. Accanto a DiCaprio come produttore si affianca anche Michael Mann (Miramax). Al posto di Nicole Kidman, inizialmente candidata per la parte di Katharine Hepburn, viene scelta Cate Blanchett, mentre le altre donne di Hughes, Ava Gardner e Jean Harlow, sono interpretate rispettivamente da Kate Beckinsale e Gwen Stefani, quest'ultima alla sua prima esperienza come attrice. Per pochi minuti, l'attore Jude Law presta il proprio volto alla rievocazione di Errol Flynn. Il film è il favorito nella corsa all'Oscar, forte di undici nomination e di un incasso che solo negli Stati Uniti sfiora i centodieci milioni di dollari. The Aviator ottiene cinque statuette, compresa quella per le migliori scenografie e miglior attrice non protagonista per Cate Blanchett. DiCaprio è candidato nella categoria miglior attore protagonista, dopo aver vinto il Golden Globe come miglior attore drammatico.

Scorsese dirige nuovamente DiCaprio nel 2006, con il film The Departed - Il bene e il male. Il soggetto prende spunto dal film Infernal Affairs, dal cui successo sono nati un prequel e un sequel. Il set bostoniano viene ricostruito a New York e il budget della Warner Bros. si aggira intorno ai novanta milioni di dollari. Al posto di Robert De Niro, ancora una volta la prima scelta, ma rinunciatario, viene scritturato Jack Nicholson, con al fianco Matt Damon. Uscito negli Stati Uniti il 6 ottobre 2006, in meno di un mese sfonda la soglia dei cento milioni di incassi. In Italia, The Departed è il film più applaudito della prima edizione del Festival del Cinema di Roma e, presentato a stampa e pubblico dagli stessi Scorsese e DiCaprio, riceve ovazioni. DiCaprio a Roma accetta di presentare in un teatro di periferia (Teatro Tor Bella Monaca), due documentari che egli stesso ha realizzato a proposito della salvaguardia dell'ambiente. The Departed ottiene sei nomination ai Golden Globe, di cui una con DiCaprio come miglior attore drammatico. Il film vince quattro Oscar, tra cui miglior regia e miglior film. DiCaprio, che rientra nella rosa dei candidati all'Oscar per miglior attore protagonista per Blood Diamond, non vince però nessun premio.

DiCaprio presenta al Festival di Cannes il documentario da lui scritto e prodotto, The 11th Hour - L'undicesima ora. Qui partecipa alla grande manifestazione planetaria Live Earth voluta da Al Gore per raccogliere fondi per la salvaguardia della Terra, in cui i cantanti più famosi si danno appuntamento in varie città del pianeta.

DiCaprio ha recitato sul set del film drammatico Revolutionary Road, per la regia di Sam Mendes, tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di Richard Yates. La protagonista femminile è Kate Winslet, moglie del regista; con loro recita anche Kathy Bates. Gli attori, per i ruoli interpretati, hanno ricevuto ottime critiche.

In Giordania, Iraq ed Emirati Arabi Uniti ha recitato in Nessuna verità, progetto affidato a Ridley Scott, che vede DiCaprio nelle vesti di un agente della CIA impegnato a scovare un terrorista mediorientale che si nasconde in Giordania. Al fianco di DiCaprio c'è Russell Crowe, portato dallo stesso Scott all'Oscar con Il Gladiatore.

DiCaprio ha rifiutato, tra gli altri, ruoli nei seguenti film: Alexander (ruolo andato a Colin Farrell), Bastardi senza gloria (ruolo andato Christoph Waltz, premiato con un Oscar) e Spider Man (ruolo assegnato a Tobey Maguire). Inoltre, prima di recitare in Inception ha rifiutato più volte di lavorare con Christopher Nolan.

Nel 2010 recita in Shutter Island, thriller psicologico tratto dal romanzo L'isola della paura di Dennis Lehane. Il regista che lo dirige è ancora Martin Scorsese, che si avvale nuovamente della collaborazione di Dante Ferretti e Francesca Lo Schiavo per quanto riguarda le scenografie e l'arredamento degli interni, Sandy Powell per i costumi, Thelma Schoonmaker (premio Oscar per The Departed) per il montaggio. Il cast comprende Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo e Max von Sydow. Nello stesso anno recita nel film Inception, diretto dal regista britannico Christopher Nolan e insieme a Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe e Marion Cotillard. Il film, oltre a riscuotere un ottimo successo al botteghino, vince quattro Premi Oscar nel 2011.

Nel 2011 interpretò l'ambigua figura di John Edgar Hoover nel film J. Edgar, diretto da Clint Eastwood. Per le riprese l'attore si sottopose a lunghe sedute di make up, soprattutto per sistemare le protesi al viso per farlo sembrare più grasso.

Nel 2012, diretto da Quentin Tarantino, interpretò il villain Calvin Candie in Django Unchained, accanto a Jamie Foxx e Christoph Waltz. Quest'ultimo grazie alla sua interpretazione ricevette il suo secondo Oscar come miglior attore non protagonista. In una scena l'attore si ferì alla mano colpendo con forza un tavolo e rompendo un bicchiere, ma continuò a recitare nonostante stesse sanguinando e la scena fu inserita nel montaggio finale.

Collabora nuovamente con il regista australiano Baz Luhrmann nel film Il grande Gatsby, terza trasposizione cinematografica dell'omonimo romanzo di Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Il film è stato proiettato all'apertura del Festival di Cannes del 2013, dove ha ricevuto una fredda accoglienza dalla critica, che però si è complimentata per l'interpretazione di DiCaprio.

Il sodalizio con Martin Scorsese continua con The Wolf of Wall Street. La pellicola, tratta dal libro Il lupo di Wall Street, narra l'ascesa e la caduta di Jordan Belfort, spregiudicato broker newyorkese interpretato da Leonardo DiCaprio, che, attraverso uno stile di vita esagerato, basato sul sesso e sull'assunzione di droghe di ogni tipo, riesce a creare un complesso giro di truffe, fino a diventare milionario.
Le riprese sono state effettuate dall'agosto 2012 a gennaio 2013, tra New York, Portofino e le Cinque Terre. L'uscita del film, precedentemente prevista per il 15 novembre 2013, è stata posticipata al 25 dicembre per gli Stati Uniti, mentre in Italia la pellicola ha esordito nelle sale il 23 gennaio seguente.

Il film, costato complessivamente circa 100 milioni di dollari, incassò 392 milioni di dollari, diventando il film dal maggior incasso nell'intera carriera di Martin Scorsese. Ricevette anche recensioni generalmente positive dalla critica, con particolari lodi al lavoro di DiCaprio e del coprotagonista Jonah Hill. L'anno successivo, DiCaprio ottiene una nomination agli Academy Award per l'interpretazione del protagonista, insieme a quella per il miglior film in qualità di produttore, dopo aver vinto il Golden Globe come miglior attore in un film commedia o musicale. Viene tuttavia battuto da Matthew McConaughey, che si aggiudica la statuetta per il film Dallas Buyers Club, lasciando DiCaprio nuovamente a un passo dall'Oscar.

L'Oscar per Revenant e altri lavori recenti
Il 25 dicembre 2015 (in Italia il 16 gennaio 2016), DiCaprio torna sul grande schermo insieme a Tom Hardy in Revenant - Redivivo, film diretto dal premio Oscar Alejandro González Iñárritu e basato sull'omonimo romanzo di Michael Punke. Le riprese si svolgono tra settembre 2014 e aprile 2015 tra Stati Uniti, Canada e Argentina.

Il film riceve subito responsi positivi dalla critica e la performance di DiCaprio viene apprezzata, tanto da fruttargli la sua terza vittoria (dopo quelle del 2005 per The Aviator e del 2014 per The Wolf of Wall Street) ai Golden Globe 2016 come miglior attore in un film drammatico, mentre The Revenant viene premiato come miglior regia e miglior film drammatico. Il 31 gennaio 2016, dopo nove nomination, DiCaprio vince lo Screen Actors Guild Award come migliore attore cinematografico. Il successivo 14 febbraio The Revenant vince cinque premi ai BAFTA Award e DiCaprio si aggiudica il premio come miglior attore protagonista. Infine, il 21 febbraio vince il Satellite Awards, diventando così il favorito per la corsa agli Oscar 2016.

Ai premi Oscar Revenant - Redivivo riceve dodici nomination, risultando così il film con più candidature. La sera della premiazione, il 28 febbraio 2016, DiCaprio ottiene finalmente l'Oscar come miglior attore dopo ventidue anni e cinque nomination. Il film The Revenant ha inoltre vinto altri due premi: miglior regia a Iñarritu e miglior fotografia a Emmanuel Lubezki.

Il 9 settembre 2016 DiCaprio si presenta al Toronto International Film Festival, dove porta il documentario Punto di non ritorno - Before the Flood. Il lungometraggio, girato e prodotto da Fisher Stevens, segue l'attore attraverso un lungo viaggio a tappe in giro per il mondo, dall'Antartide all'Indonesia, durante il quale DiCaprio spiega i pericoli dei cambiamenti climatici sulla Terra, ritrovandosi a parlare con testimoni d'eccezione come John Kerry, Barack Obama e papa Francesco.

Nel febbraio 2018, insieme a Brad Pitt, entrò ufficialmente nel cast del film diretto da Quentin Tarantino, C'era una volta a... Hollywood. La pellicola, tratta da una storia vera, racconterà la storia della Family Manson e degli omicidi da loro compiuti; l'attore interpreterà Rick Dalton, una ex star di una serie TV western. La pellicola, inizialmente prevista nelle sale cinematografiche il 9 agosto 2019, nel 50º anniversario della strage avvenuta al 10050 Cielo Drive, fu anticipato negli Stati Uniti al 26 luglio 2019. Il regista definì il duo DiCaprio-Pitt come «la coppia di star più eccitante dai tempi di Paul Newman e Robert Redford».

Nel 2020 viene rivelato che l'attore è al lavoro in un nuovo film di Netflix diretto da Adam McKay intitolato Don't Look Up. Uscito alla fine del 2021, in quest'occasione recita con Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep e Cate Blanchett tra gli altri.

Attivismo
Nel 1998, dopo il successo ottenuto con Titanic, ha fondato la Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, organizzazione senza scopo di lucro dedicata alla promozione della consapevolezza ambientale. Sebbene sia interessato a tutte le aree dell'ambiente, il suo impegno si concentra sul cambiamento climatico preservando la biodiversità della Terra e sostenendo l'energia rinnovabile. La DiCaprio Foundation supporta l'organizzazione per la protezione della vita marina Sea Shepherd nella lotta per salvare i mammiferi marini più piccoli del mondo, i vaquita. Per proteggere gli ultimi vaquita Sea Shepherd, il giornalista Carlos Loret de Mola e la marina messicana combattono contro i cartelli della malavita. DiCaprio, insieme a Terra Mater Factual Studios ha prodotto il documentario ed eco thriller Sea of Shadows in cui fa vedere gli ultimi vaquita e cosa viene fatto per salvarli dai bracconieri.

Nel 1999 si dedica ai viaggi, soprattutto in Sud America, realizza documentari che illustrano le emergenze della Terra; apre il proprio sito web ufficiale in cui ampio spazio è dedicato all'ambiente e agli animali in pericolo di estinzione; partecipa a conferenze mondiali sull'approvvigionamento idrico sempre più scarso e sul rischio desertificazione e disboscamento selvaggio; infine incontra l'allora presidente degli Stati Uniti Bill Clinton, con cui discute i temi dell'ambientalismo. Le riviste TIME e Playgirl gli dedicano una copertina.
Nel 2010 ha donato un milione di dollari al WWF per salvare le tigri dall'estinzione e proteggere il loro habitat, e un altro milione a Haiti in seguito al terremoto. Nel 2013 ha donato tre milioni per la salvaguardia di  tigri del Nepal. All'interno di queste attività troviamo partecipazione ad aste di beneficenza e alle campagne del WWF, ad esempio per fermare il commercio illegale dell'avorio e il bracconaggio, o ancora per salvare le balene, causa per cui l'attore ha donato 15 milioni di dollari.

Nel luglio 2014 organizza a Saint-Tropez una raccolta fondi in cui sia lui sia altre celebrità hanno messo all'asta oggetti personali: riesce a raccogliere 25 milioni di dollari utilizzati per la salvaguardia di oceani, foreste, riserve naturali e specie in via di estinzione. Nel luglio 2016, la sua fondazione ha stanziato 15,6 milioni di dollari per aiutare a proteggere la fauna selvatica e i diritti dei nativi americani, insieme alla lotta ai cambiamenti climatici. Nel 2017, tramite la sua fondazione, ha donato un milione di dollari alle vittime dell'uragano Harvey. Nei primi mesi del 2019 si mobilita per sostenere la petizione lanciata da Change.org, per liberare undici orche e novanta beluga detenuti in piccole gabbie sovraffollate sulla costa orientale della Russia. Dopo sei mesi dalla denuncia, tutti gli animali furono liberati. Nel 2019 crea una fondazione ambientalista, la Earth Alliance, con cui nel mese di agosto dona cinque milioni di dollari per salvare la foresta amazzonica devastata da incendi. Per lo stesso scopo, l'attore ha deciso, insieme a Will Smith, di lanciare una linea di scarpe ecologiche in edizione limitata e di donare l'intero ricavato sempre alla Earth Alliance. Nel gennaio 2020, sempre grazie alla sua fondazione, dona tre milioni di dollari e lancia una raccolta fondi per gli incendi in Australia.

Nel 2018 una nuova specie di coleottero (Grouvellinus leonardodicaprioi) è stata dedicata a DiCaprio come riconoscimento per la sua attività di sensibilizzazione sulla perdita di biodiversità e sul cambiamento climatico.

Vita privata

DiCaprio non ha figli. Dal 1995 al 1997 ha avuto una relazione con la modella Kristen Zang. Nel 2000 ha incontrato la supermodella brasiliana Gisele Bündchen, con la quale ha avuto una relazione fino al 2005. È stato fidanzato con la supermodella israeliana Bar Refaeli dal 2005 al 2011 e con la modella tedesca Toni Garrn dal maggio 2013 al dicembre 2014. Sempre nel 2011 ha una brevissima storia con l'attrice Blake Lively. Da dicembre 2017 ad agosto 2022 ha avuto una relazione con Camila Morrone, modella argentina figlia dell'ex compagna di Al Pacino.

È molto attivo nel campo della salvaguardia ambientale.

Sostiene il Partito Democratico statunitense, per il quale nelle elezioni del 2004 ha presenziato alla campagna elettorale di John Kerry.

DiCaprio possiede una casa a Los Angeles, California, e un appartamento a Battery Park, New York.

Nel 2009 ha comprato un'isola al largo del Belize, dove ha in progetto di costruire un eco-resort.

Nel 2014 ha acquistato la residenza di Dinah Shore progettata dall'architetto Donald Wexler a Palm Springs, in California.

È molto amico, sin dalla giovinezza, dei colleghi Tobey Maguire, Kevin Connolly e Lukas Haas. Dopo aver recitato insieme a lei in Titanic, DiCaprio ha stretto una forte amicizia con la collega Kate Winslet, tanto da accompagnarla all'altare al suo terzo matrimonio nel dicembre del 2012 ed essere scelto come padrino del suo terzo figlio.

Nel gennaio 2016 rilascia un'intervista sulla rivista Rolling Stone, in cui svela un episodio in cui, durante le riprese di Before the Flood, documentario di Fisher Stevens girato alle Galápagos, stava per morire affogato in un'immersione. A salvargli la vita fu Edward Norton.

I have a simple bash file that gets the access token and then uses a xml file to add a column to a table in Salesforce Marketing Cloud through SOAP API.

On May 17th, 2016 Grayslake Resolution 860 was passed by Mayor Rhett Taylor to commemorate that Grayslake is the first community in IL to be "Dementia Friendly".
The Dementia Friendly Community program is a grass roots effort to train local communities in how to work with people who have dementia. It is important to understand that dementia is actually a symptom of a disease such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
To create an environment in Lake County Illinois where people who have dementia or have loved ones with dementia can enjoy a better quality of life. We want to help remove a perceived stigma of dementia. Dementia involves memory loss and with that, people act differently which can be confusion to others. The aging population is booming and with it is an increase of dementia. Our goal is to make our communities a more friendly place for people afflicted with dementia.
We want YOU to encourage your place of employment to sign up for FREE training to become a dementia friendly business.
A place where people with dementia are valued, respected and welcomed.
Where people with dementia can live as independently as possible.
Where they can engage in activities that many of us take for granted.
Where changes in the person will be noticed, understood and accepted with resources available for assistance if needed.
First Responders, Businesses, Public Officials, General Public and most important, those who have dementia.
Our program benefits everyone in your community. Not only does it help families with loved ones who have dementia (and those with dementia), it also helps businesses who are trained to better understand any special needs and how to address them.
It kills more than breast and prostate cancers combined.
1 in 9 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's is the only disease among the top 10 causes of death in the US that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
Many people are too embarrassed to take their loved ones affected with dementia out into the community but a dementia friendly community can be welcoming. People with dementia, friends and families will be welcome in a safe and understanding community.
Community outreach currently underway for services orientated businesses.
Commit to making your business "Dementia Friendly". Ask questions. Talk about it with others.
50% of your employees and managers must be trained.
Commitment to share training with new hires.
Agreement to annual on-site follow up visits.
How Do You Become a Dementia Friendly Community?
Contact Mike Steiner who will work with the team to get you scheduled.


A problem with being a mad scientist is the fire hazard. You pick up a chemical in a test tube, pour and mix it with another chemical in another test tube, then pick that test tube up and watch it for any changes. And then it bursts into flame right in front of your face. Or you run away as fast as you can, trying to escape the giant fireball from the new high-explosive you've created.
Almost a regular pair of tongs, these are fitted with a rubber-ish heat-resistant slingshot, with which you can trigger in the case of needing to be far away from your hazardous-material filled test tube, flinging them far away into a sink, or at a rival mad scientist/horrible lab assistant who needs punishing.
You'd have to shoot it before it explodes, when it looks as if it might explode. Many madsters would be shooting compounds which wouldn't have exploded, but do explode when they mix with other chemicals from previous shots in the sink. Best bet is to shoot it at a rival scientist, for the sake of recording accurate observations.
In your above anno,I somehow read //Many madsters would be shooting compounds which wouldn't have exploded,// as "Many hamsters would have exploded" - due to my screen resolution. I would have snorted milk out my nose, had I not just finished drinking a second ago.
[DesertFox] - I read part of your annotation as "due to my screen resolution, I would have snorted milk out my nose" - "Change your screen resolution then, you idiot", I thought.
Why is it that only milk gets snorted through the nose? Why not other liquids?
[jtg] You're right, where'd he go?
Ouch. That happens to other liquids. Soda burns, it really burns. Can you imagine what something like bourbon would feel?
I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing is happening.


COLIN CALLANDER: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have Georgia Hall with us. Georgia had a 67 for a 9-under par total and currently sharing the lead.
Terrific round. You were able to get off to a tremendous start this morning.
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I've never had four birdies in a row before. So I was very happy to be 4-under after five. I holed some great putts on the second and had pretty much a tap-in on the third and I holed a 20-footer on the fourth for birdie. And then the fifth hole, yeah, holed about an 8-footer. So I was hitting it quite close, which made things a bit easier.
COLIN CALLANDER: And overall, thoughts the way you're playing so far? You must be pleased.
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I'm playing really well. I'm especially putting good. So that is certainly helping me at the moment. I hit most fairways today but I hit it in a pot bunker on 16 which gave me a bogey.
And then 9, I holed a 10-footer on 9, so I was happy to walk away with 65.
Q. Just walking with you today, it looks as though nothing ever troubled you, good shot or a bad. How do you feel or how would you describe your feelings as you went around?
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I tried and play level-headed all the time, whether I get a birdie or a bogey. I'm just trying to get as many birdies as I can out there. The course is quite scorable today because it wasn't that windy. It's a bit tougher yesterday, so I tried to get off to a good start, which I did, and I managed to hole a couple of good putts on the back nine.
COLIN CALLANDER: Is the wind coming from a different direction today?
GEORGIA HALL: It was, which made things slightly harder. But I think yesterday's wind was a bit easier.
Q. Four in a row in any sort of golf before? Never?
GEORGIA HALL: I don't think I've ever had four in a row in a tournament, I don't think.
GEORGIA HALL: I'm actually not very good at crazy golf. People that play with me, I'll probably lose. I don't think so.
Q. Talking about trying to stay on an even keel all the way, as a child, were you like that or did you fling clubs left, right and centre?
GEORGIA HALL: For golf? Yeah, I've been quite kind of the same, same feeling my whole -- since I started when I was seven, really. I think there's no point in getting angry because it's just going to make things worse.
I did hit a few bad tee shots, 8 and 9 were bad, but I managed to get away with a par on the par 5, eighth. But yeah, after that, I got a few good birdies, so it swings in roundabouts.
Q. Are you like that in life in general?
GEORGIA HALL: (Laughs) Yeah, I'll say -- yeah, similar. Similar. I try to be. But I stress a lot about things that -- on the golf course is where I like to be and I enjoy it the most.
Q. Can you tell us what you stress about?
GEORGIA HALL: Just like travelling. It's just like making sure I get here on time and make sure I'm on the tee ten minutes before and stuff like that. I like to be on time for everything. That's it. Like nothing big.
Q. Do you have any drills at all for when you manage to remain this cool? Do you do anything in particular? Do you read any books or any of the psychological stuff?
GEORGIA HALL: I think most importantly it's just knowing yourself and knowing the way you play golf, which I think I do quite a lot. I used to kind of have really bad holes as an amateur and that kind of used to mess my round up.
Now I'm much more consistent and I think things through a lot beforehand, and I battle a lot more than I did. Now I never give up, so that's quite important.
Q. Do you dabble in psychology at all? Do you read anybody?
GEORGIA HALL: To be honest, no, I don't really read. I just kind of use my experiences and try and learn from them for next time.
Q. Are you like Charley and do you see your future on the LPGA Tour and how do you think you're going to handle that?
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I'm going to go to Tour School at the end of the year. I think that's definitely where you need to be.
I went to America for three weeks and played in two majors, so I definitely enjoy it over there. But I think I'll probably still live in England.
Q. Big adjustment, though, with friends here and family and all that.
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, but I think they can always come over and watch. And I'll only go over there for three weeks, maximum. I love living in England, so I think I'll stay there.
But golf course-wise, I think it's just on the greens, it's a massive difference. You can't be aggressive. You've got to kind of just let it roll in.
Q. How are you spending your time in St. Andrews? Are you based in St. Andrews and what are you doing in the evening?
GEORGIA HALL: I'm staying in cottage in Kingsbarns like two minutes away, so that's really nice. I might just go walk around 18 and walk around the town and stuff like that. Just chill out, really. Early start for me, and I finished six and a half hours yesterday. I went early to bed. So I'm just going to kind of enjoy the afternoon, and I'm happy I played well.
Q. You've probably said this before, but you played with Gary Player the other week in the Pro-Am at Wentworth? Any particular pearls of wisdom he gave you?
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I played in the Gary Player Invitational. I think it was my third or fourth time playing it. Yeah, I got lucky and managed to play with Gary for 18 holes, so that was great.
He said a few things. He said I should take a pad out with me and write down how many times I get up-and-down from a hundred yards. And he said if you're going to practise for three hours, you should practise short game for two hours. He talked about short game, and he said that you should never feel sorry for yourself and never give up.
So those two things were kind of big to me, you know, if he's going to say that, then I'm certainly not going to give up on the golf course if I have a bad hole.
Q. Can you imagine playing golf at 80?
GEORGIA HALL: I think I might retire before then (laughter).
Q. Can you just talk about what you think about the Solheim Cup?
GEORGIA HALL: What I think about it? It's been a massive thing for me since I started playing golf. You know, as soon as I heard Annika is the captain, I thought, well, there's no better captain than Annika, and I especially wanted to get on this team. I've been leading it for quite a while now, which sometimes isn't easy, but I managed to play well the second half of last year and so far this year.
So I'm really happy to be in the team, and it's come around so quickly but I'm just going to focus on next two days, and then I can look forward to the Solheim.
Q. What are your memories from when you were part of the Junior Solheim Cup team?
GEORGIA HALL: What are they?
Q. Yeah, when you went over to Colorado.
GEORGIA HALL: That was an amazing experience seeing that, and we got to meet the team, at adult team when we were there. It was great to be there and see them prepare for the Solheim Cup. And also, the Curtis Cup, as well, which is match play and I draw back from those experiences.
I love match play as it is. It's my favorite format, and now that I'm a professional, I don't get to play it at all anymore, which is a shape. But I'm looking forward to it. It should be great.
Q. What club did you use on 14, the par 3? You hit an amazing shot in there.
GEORGIA HALL: I hit 5-iron but I did have a 4-iron in my hand the whole time until kind of it was my turn to play. I don't know, I just kind of felt 5 -- so I hit a half-one of them and started it like ten yards left. It was a left-to-right wind. It was a great birdie. Just a tap-in, so that was good.
COLIN CALLANDER: Thank you very much. Good luck over the weekend.

Q: Javascript unexpected identifier? I have a function which takes the average of all the elements in an array. However, I am getting an unexpected identifier error.
function calculateAverage(anyArray) {
    var sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < anyArray.length; i++) {
        sum += anyArray[i];
    }
    sum = sum / anyArray.length;
}

I have counted my braces and parentheses and the error seems to be happening only when the for loop is included, as when I removed it the error does not occur.

A: In your for loop, you are using int, which is not a keyword in javascript, hence the error "Unexpected identifier". You should use var, or let.
