J. J. Abrams explains why The rise of Skywalker retcons Rey, the lineage – CNET
Daisy Ridley as Rey, The rise of Skywalker.
The identity of Rey's seemed to have parents in the Star Wars universe answered by Rian Johnson' s the last of The Jedi – : they were nobodies, dirty, junk-dealer, which out sold her for drinking money on the slave planet Jakku.
But J. J. Abrams' follow-up, The rise of Skywalker, if a second, final answer: Rey's dad is in reference to Emperor Palpatine, and was later clarified to be a failed clone of the movie novelization. Rey's parents gave up to protect you from her evil grandfather.
on the occasion of the Academy screening last week (via Collider), Abrams has since addressed why he and writer Chris Terrio chose to effectively retcon that element of the story.
"I think one of the themes of [the last of The Jedi] is that anyone can be anything, regardless of where you come from," Abrams said, the recognition of Johnson's take on the character of cultural heritage.
"And I don't know if it resonates with everyone, but I think there are quite a few people who appreciate the idea comes from a place that you are not particularly excited and proud."

But, Abrams' wanted to take Rey to a still darker place.
"And even though I understand completely, "you're nobody' is a devastating thing, the me the pain, the more shocking thing was, the idea that you from the worst possible place.
"And is the thing that you feel, that you know is a part of you somehow, that you followed, is that your fate? And the idea that there are things that is more powerful than the blood, as Luke says, the thing was to convey a really important thing for us."
The ascent of Skywalker contain several elements that seemed to retcon his predecessors: The reduced role of the Rose, Tico inspired criticism of unfair erasure, while Palpatine and his surprise return from the dead yoinked Kylo Ren's Supreme leader, the title from The Last of the Jedi.
you can see that these retcons, and more by streaming The ascent of Skywalker, now to digital. Or, better yet, watch Johnson ' s knives.

Q: Authorize API Controller Methods Based On Route I'm looking for a way to conditionally enforce the [Authorize] attribute on API Controller methods based on the route they are accessed from.
In my software, I have pages that can be accessed one of two ways, as an authorised user with full access or as an anonymous user in "viewer mode", with limited functionality.
Both of these require access to the same API methods. I want to keep the "full" version of these calls as secure as possible, while the anonymous versions should be unimpeded. To give you an example of such a method before the "viewer mode" existed:
    [Route("{outerId:int}/{innerId:int}/Action")]
    public virtual HttpResponseMessage PutAction(int outerId, int innerId)
    {
        ...
    }

The outerId and innerId are essentially indicators of subdirectories containing the relevant data. I should also point out that the controller has the [Authorize] attribute.
Viewers access deep copies of this data through a different path that only requires one parameter, so my current solution is to anonymise the method and have 2 routes to differentiate the two different access types, authenticating within the method where appropriate:
    [AllowAnonymous]
    [Route("{id:int}/{innerId:int}/Action", Order = 1)]
    [Route("{id:int}/Viewer/Action", Order = 2)]
    public virtual HttpResponseMessage PutAction(int id, int? innerId = null)
    {
        if (innerId != null) // check userId using User.Identity.GetUserId()
        ...
    }

This works well most of the time, but unfortunately these methods will occasionally fail when accessed by full users, as User == null. The Authorize attribute is the only thing I know that would prevent this from happening, but is there a way to only enforce this attribute for different routes?

Dan Markel's ex-wife talks to police after his murder: Part 4
The man whom Markel's ex-wife Wendi Adelson dated after the divorce tells police how much the Adelson family hated Dan Markel.
Transcript for Dan Markel's ex-wife talks to police after his murder: Part 4
The police continue to walk through all the possibilities with Wendi. For eight hours they talk about all the people who might have something against Daniel Markel. Wendi does not hold back in this interview. She talks about how bad the divorce was. She talks about how Dan was emotionally abusive to her. She talks about how she wants to get down to Miami. You know, she doesn't pull any punches. It's all out there. He never hurt me physically, but he was emotionally abusive. And I didn't tell most people that, so all those people know is that it didn't work out. So, other than my family, who saw the way he treated me, he told everyone in the community that I was mentally ill, 'cause only a crazy person would leave him. Do you know anybody that would have a beef against your ex-husband? She talked about a guy she knew, that she was dating, Jeffrey Lacasse. He didn't like Danny because Danny hurt me. I see why he's a good suspect. Like, what if it's Jeff? Like, then I did this by asking for time away from him, I made him crazy? Lacasse himself comes in to the police station to give his own interview. Your name did come up. Of course. Because you were associated at some point with Wendi. Of course. I spent a lot of time with Wendi. I don't think anybody has been with Wendi more than me in the last six months. Have you met Wendi? Not personally. Very charismatic. I am not the only man that has been under her thumb in that way. I mean, she really has this charisma and this sexuality, and so you'd throw yourself in front of a bus for this girl. It's just a new kind of thing for me. I was in love with this girl, man, so it was hard. Jeff's interview, maybe more so than Wendi's, is extraordinary because he's a boyfriend who is in the process of breaking up with Wendi and it's a contentious break-up by both of their admissions. You've never had any kind of physical contact with Danny? I was surprised you guys didn't call me earlier, though, because I probably said in public like 100 times that I would like to kick his -- for really making Wendi suffer and things like that. But no, I'm a professor and a . I would never do anything like that, no, no. He right up front saying that he didn't like this guy. He also has an iron-clad alibi, he was out of town. I stayed at a really crappy days inn maybe 20 miles south of Atlanta. He's got the receipts, he was not here, so that immediately puts him in the clear. But right away something clicks in his head and he seems to say, "I think I think I know what happened." But he's worried. He has something that he wants to tell police, but he's not gonna do it unless there's some sort of guarantee in place. I have something I want to tell you but I'm concerned about my safety with what I'm going to tell you,to be honest. Danny Markel just got Killed and I don't want to be next. I'm sorry if that sounds paranoid, but I do have some ideas. And Lacasse points to none other than Wendi's family, her parents and her brother who run that very successful south Florida dental clinic. The family desperately wants her back in south Florida. They hate Danny in a way -- I have never seen this kind of obsession. I mean, their hobby is hating Danny. And family friends like the greenbergs also tell police about the toxic family dynamics between Dan and the adelsons. I think they were mean to do some of the stuff that they did during the divorce with Danny, just not reasonable. Hi, mom, how's it going? I need you to sit down. Then there's another point in the interview where she has to tell her mother that her ex was murdered. And she calls her mom and tells her. Danny has been shot. There was a point where she was just kind of saying she was relieved to find that her mom was surprised at the news. Well, my parents sounded really surprised, so that's at least a relief. Just trying to think about who would be angry enough to do something to him. My parents would be angry, but they're not capable of this. Thank god, I really couldn't handle that right now. I think everything was going through her head at that time. She had to be wondering, my god, would she be so crazy to come up here and do something? My parents have more reason to dislike Danny than almost anyone else. He hurt their daughter. But even my family who felt like I had been mistreated would never do something like this. Never. So Wendi leaves the police station, and later through her attorney, she says, "My family had nothing to do with this." As the Tallahassee police are talking to eyewitnesses, persons of interest, fielding tips from the hotline, they're also pulling videos from the closed circuit cameras that caught Dan's movements that day. And it's here that they get their first big lead. When they look at the footage from the cameras outside Dan's gym, they see that when Dan's accord left the lot that morning, another car was following him. They were able to figure out that the prius was at premiere fitness, where Dan was. They were able to drill down on this prius, tracking down this one car out of millions. It was a break. The first big break.

Caltrans Road Charge Pilot App helps Drivers, raises Privacy Concerns
KPCC's transportation reporter, Meghan McCarty, shows the mile-tracking device she's using in her car as part of a Caltrans pilot program testing per-mile charges versus taxes at the pump. SANDRA OSHIRO/KPCC
Original news item appeared in: www.scpr.org
I've been testing out some new car technology as part of a Caltrans pilot program that could change the way Californians pay for street repairs.
The gas tax that we pay at the pumps hasn't been generating enough revenue, so the state is piloting a new approach to charge drivers by the mile. To do that, they've got to track how much we drive.
Since July, I've had a small device plugged into my car's computer through the On-Board Diagnostic port — a device that collects a lot of information.
"We don't just collect miles, we also offer what we call value-added services.," said Nate Bryer, vice president for innovations at Azuga, the company that makes my device and the app that goes with it.
Beyond telling me how much I would be billed if the road charge program were in effect, the app shows me all kinds of data about my car and how I've been driving.
Apparently, I brake too hard.
And when I drive less than a mile, I proudly earn the "I Could Have Walked Badge" – or when I drive after midnight – the "Pumpkin Badge."
"The term is called gamification. We've gamified the collection of data," Bryer said.
Bryer points out it's not all for fun. The app will also tell you useful information, like how much charge you've got left in your battery or if your engine needs maintenance.
Azuga is not alone in developing these tools. More than a dozen companies, including data giants Verizon and AT&T, are marketing the OBD II monitoring devices. They can do everything from transmit Wi-Fi to track your teenage daughter or call emergency services in case of an accident.
Market analyst Roger Lanctot with Strategy Analytics said while the market for the devices has expanded, the appeal of the systems is limited. Many people don't know where their OBD port is and many more object to the potential privacy intrusion.
"Those devices, they can extract a whole lot of data. The door is open if you've connected that device to the vehicle," he said.
Azuga's Bryer argues his company's app no different than many others we already use on our smart phones – including Uber or Waze, which also track and collect data about users.
"From a tracking perspective you're like, 'Well, I don't want to be tracked, unless it's to my benefit.' And so our goal is to create a connected platform that actually benefits consumers," he said.
Byer assures road charge pilot drivers that their data won't be shared with anyone unless they give express permission. And any sharing, he said, would be tied to some benefit, like offers for cheaper insurance or competitive bids on car maintenance. Currently, California law does not allow insurance companies to set rates based on driving performance, although mileage-based insurance is allowed.
As for the state's access to the information collected by the devices, he said officials won't see any of the data except for the mileage numbers.
In Oregon, the first state to officially launch a road charge program, state law prevents officials from collecting any data beyond the number of miles given and requires they purge all that data every 30 days.
In California, wary pilot drivers can opt for a more low-tech option — such as taking a cell phone picture of their odometer. But then they'll miss out on their "Snail Badge" for excess idling in LA. traffic.

Karnataka Class 12 Commerce Economics Concept Of Production Function : production function relates physical output of a production process to physical inputs or factors of production. The production function is one of the key concepts of mainstream neoclassical theories, used to define marginal product and to distinguish allocative efficiency, the defining focus of economics. The primary purpose of the production function is to address allocation efficiency in the use of factor inputs in production and the resulting distribution of income to those factors, while abstracting away from the technological problems of achieving technical efficiency, as an engineer or professional manager might understand it. Production function denotes an efficient combination of inputs and outputs.
In macroeconomics, aggregate production functions are estimated to create a framework in which to distinguish how much of economic growth to attribute to changes in factor allocation (e.g. the accumulation of capital) and how much to attribute to advancing technology. Some non-mainstream economists, however, reject the very concept of an aggregate production function.

The supply of a product, depends upon its cost of production, which in turn depends upon:
(a) The physical relationship between inputs and output, and
(b) The prices of inputs.
The physical relationship between inputs and output plays an important part in determining the cost of production. It is the general description of this physical relation between inputs and output which forms the subject-matter of the theory of production. In other words, the theory of production relates to the physical laws governing production of goods.
The act of production involves the transformation of inputs into outputs. The word production in economics is not merely confined to bringing about physical transformation in the matter it is creation or addition of value.
Therefore, production in economics also covers rendering of services such as transporting, financing, and marketing. Laws of production, or in other words, the generalisations regarding relations between inputs and outputs developed all these types of production.
The relation between inputs and output of a firm has been called the 'Production Function'. Thus, the theory of production is the study of production functions. The production function of a firm can be studied by holding the quantities of some factors fixed, while varying the amount of other factors.
This is done when the law of variable proportions is derived. The production function of a firm can also be studied by varying the amounts of all factors. The behaviour of production when all factors are varied is the subject-matter of the laws of returns to scale. Thus, in the theory of production, the study of (a) the law of variable proportions and (b) the laws of returns to scale is included.
Besides this, the theory of production is also concerned with explaining which combination of inputs (or factors of production) a firm will choose so as to minimise its costs of production for producing a given level of output or to maximize output for a given level of cost.
Karnataka Class 12 Commerce Economics Concept Of Production Function : Production of goods requires resources or inputs. These inputs are called factors of production named as land, labor, capital and organization. A rational producer is always interested that he should get the maximum output from the set of resources or inputs available to him. He would like to combine these inputs in a technical efficient manner so that he obtains maximum desired output of goods. The relationship between the inputs and the resulting output is described as production function .
A production function shows the relationship between the amounts of factors used and the amount of output generated per period of time.
Formula: It can be expressed in algebraic form as under:
X = f (a1, a2 ,…….., an)
This equation tells us the quantity of the product X which can be produced by the given quantities of inputs (lands labor, capital) that are used in the process of production. Here it may be noted that production function shows only the maximum amount of output which can be produced from given inputs. It is because production function includes only efficient production process.
The analysis of production function is generally carried with reference to time period which is called short period and long period. In the short run, production function is explained with one variable factor and other factors of productions are held constant. We have called this production function as the Law of Variable Proportions or theLaw of Diminishing returns. In the long run, production function is explained by assuming all the factors of production as variable.
There are no fixed inputs in the long run. Here the production function is called the Law of Returns according to the scale of production. As it is difficult to handle more than two variables in graph, we therefore, explain the Law of Returns according to scale of production by assuming only two inputs i.e., capital and labor and study how output responds to their use.
Karnataka Class 12 Commerce Economics Concept Of Production Function : Production is the result of co-operation of four factors of production viz., land, labour, capital and organization. This is evident from the fact that no single commodity can be produced without the help of any one of these four factors of production.
Therefore, the producer combines all the four factors of production in a technical proportion. The aim of the producer is to maximize his profit. For this sake, he decides to maximize the production at minimum cost by means of the best combination of factors of production.
The producer secures the best combination by applying the principles of equi-marginal returns and substitution. According to the principle of equi-marginal returns, any producer can have maximum production only when the marginal returns of all the factors of production are equal to one another. For instance, when the marginal product of the land is equal to that of labour, capital and organisation, the production becomes maximum.
Meaning of Production Function:
In simple words, production function refers to the functional relationship between the quantity of a good produced (output) and factors of production (inputs). "The production function is purely a technical relation which connects factor inputs and output." Prof. Koutsoyiannis Defined production function as "the relation between a firm's physical production (output) and the material factors of production (inputs)." Prof. Watson
In this way, production function reflects how much output we can expect if we have so much of labour and so much of capital as well as of labour etc. In other words, we can say that production function is an indicator of the physical relationship between the inputs and output of a firm. The reason behind physical relationship is that money prices do not appear in it. However, here one thing that becomes most important to quote is that like demand function a production function is for a definite period.
It shows the flow of inputs resulting into a flow of output during some time. The production function of a firm depends on the state of technology. With every development in technology the production function of the firm undergoes a change.
The new production function brought about by developing technology displays same inputs and more output or the same output with lesser inputs. Sometimes a new production function of the firm may be adverse as it takes more inputs to produce the same output.
Mathematically, such a basic relationship between inputs and outputs may be expressed as:
Q = f( L, C, N )
Where Q = Quantity of output
L = Labour
C = Capital
N = Land.
Hence, the level of output (Q), depends on the quantities of different inputs (L, C, N) available to the firm. In the simplest case, where there are only two inputs, labour (L) and capital (C) and one output (Q), the production function becomes.
Q =f (L, C)
"The production function is a technical or engineering relation between input and output. As long as the natural laws of technology remain unchanged, the production function remains unchanged." Prof. L.R. Klein
"Production function is the relationship between inputs of productive services per unit of time and outputs of product per unit of time." Prof. George J. Stigler
"The relationship between inputs and outputs is summarized in what is called the production function. This is a technological relation showing for a given state of technological knowledge how much can be produced with given amounts of inputs." Prof. Richard J. Lipsey
Thus, from the above definitions, we can conclude that production function shows for a given state of technological knowledge, the relation between physical quantities of inputs and outputs achieved per period of time.
Features of Production Function:
Following are the main features of production function:
1. Substitutability:
The factors of production or inputs are substitutes of one another which make it possible to vary the total output by changing the quantity of one or a few inputs, while the quantities of all other inputs are held constant. It is the substitutability of the factors of production that gives rise to the laws of variable proportions.
2. Complementarity:
The factors of production are also complementary to one another, that is, the two or more inputs are to be used together as nothing will be produced if the quantity of either of the inputs used in the production process is zero.
The principles of returns to scale is another manifestation of complementarity of inputs as it reveals that the quantity of all inputs are to be increased simultaneously in order to attain a higher scale of total output.
3. Specificity:
It reveals that the inputs are specific to the production of a particular product. Machines and equipment's, specialized workers and raw materials are a few examples of the specificity of factors of production. The specificity may not be complete as factors may be used for production of other commodities too. This reveals that in the production process none of the factors can be ignored and in some cases ignorance to even slightest extent is not possible if the factors are perfectly specific.
Production involves time; hence, the way the inputs are combined is determined to a large extent by the time period under consideration. The greater the time period, the greater the freedom the producer has to vary the quantities of various inputs used in the production process.
In the production function, variation in total output by varying the quantities of all inputs is possible only in the long run whereas the variation in total output by varying the quantity of single input may be possible even in the short run.

Will this ever happen to a Bollywood film now?
I am not talking about people dancing in theatres, shouting, screaming & stuff. I'm talking about films running for 100 days atleast in a theatre & being able to celebrate the 100 days run.
Going to share few videos of films down south, ofcourse Telugu films which released in post 2009 & yet are successfully completing the 100 days run & the scenario which Bollywood faces is same to all other big industries like Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam & Kannada. Still it's only Bollywood movies, whose theatrical run has come down to 4-5 weeks maximum. The last one being Bodyguard (2011) which ran upto 14 weeks before losing it's theaters to below 10 or even below 5 & further not having any sort of news regarding such celebrations. The last 25 weeks run for Bollywood being Tere Naam (2003), where the entire movie crew celebrated it in an event (Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha music release function) where everyone were given mementos.
This is Gabbar Singh (2012) completing it's 100 days video. The theater was sold out & like it happens with every other big Telugu hit movies, other than the movie itself, the theatre shows a special showreel consisting of songs & movie scenes. It's a tradition in Andhra Pradesh where people demand the theatre people infact the one who operates the projector to re-project the songs or scenes which they like. I vividly remember my mom telling how it was to watch Kshana Kshanam, an RGV classic entertainer starring Venkatesh & Sridevi, where 2 songs were made to put for minimum of 5 times during the movie itself. The next scene was never allowed to be continued, once the song ended, it was re-played on the screen.
Anyways this video is from a theatre in Rajamundry, Andhra Pradesh.
Ofcourse, in the above theatre, they played songs from Magadheera & also Chiranjeevi's song from Mrugaraju. Well it's Mega Family Power anyways.
And this is another one for the same film. And here, the theatre itself projects on the screen which says "Celebrating 100 days Power Star" while running the film. As a moviegoer I personally hate this since I had this experience in a theatre where they had projected on the screen asking me to park my vehicle in the vehicle stand which in an hurry I had parked it just next to the theatre staff parking.
If the above videos were from Gabbar Singh completing 100 days, which released in 2012. Here is a video of Attarintiki Daredi's 100 days in Sandhya theatre again. And this movie had released last year to become the highest grosser of Telugu Film Industry. This time too the theatre played Chiranjeevi's song & the craze.... you'll have to witness it yourself because that song is literally an anthem for Megastar's fans.
And these celebrations are not limited to Pawan Kalyan starrers alone. The below videos are the 100 days celebrations of Mahesh Babu starrer Dookudu (2011) & Businessman (2012). And if my above description of the events that happens in a theatre were confusing then you should watch this video of Dookudu's celebrations which gives an literary explaination as well. A well edited recorded video.
The next video is from the 100 days celebration of Magadheera (2009) where not so surprisingly Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa (2008) title song was played on screen. Anyways Magadheera was a film which successfully completed 700 days run in theaters & is the only movie in recent times to have run for 2 years in a theatre.
And if you thought I am talking about only Telugu movies then here's the video of 100 days celebration of Thuppakki (2012) starring Vijay & the special show was not held in a theatre but in Anna University.
Anyways all the above videos are the celebration of 100 days in those respective states. Rajinikanth proves why he's the biggest superstar India has ever seen. His Enthiran (2010) celebrates 100 days not just in India but in Singapore too.

I don't think Bollywood films will have 100 days run in theatres in Todays time i mean telugu, tamil, and Kannada, audience they treat stars like god(which i don't like to say) when they films release they just throng to theatres like zombies and does other stuff like "Putting huge garlands on stars statue" or pouring milk on it man bollywood stars doesn't have such fans and Thanks to big release most people watch films easily if film is good then they will comeback if not they won't but in South it's a reverse case see Attirintiki Daridi completed 100 days even after half movie being released on *** DVD'S before it's theatrical release but still it became highest grosser of last year and completed 100 days it shows how south people care about stars

What's the point in releasing films in theater if this is going to happen the very next day?

Just got back from seeing this.
Overall, it's a well done film. Lots of unfamiliar footage of and, especially, by Heath--really the best part. Interesting, personal stories by people who knew and loved him. More standard format than I had expected: the usual talking heads (seated in front of a Sears-portrait-studio backdrop, strangely), the usual chronological approach.
Understandably adoring of Heath--his bright light, his energy, his generosity, his great potential as a director--and little mention of anything negative. Nothing sensational about his death, thankfully.
Lovely words from Ang--the Chinese saying "even god is jealous".
I was especially moved by Ben Harper. His story of being asked by Heath to write Matilda a lullaby, and then singing it, got to me.
Very sparsely attended. After the credits, they played what must be the dvd extras.
I'll always be sad that Heath never got to direct the chess-related novel, "The Queen's Gambit", possibly with Elllen Page. With his extensive talent at chess, I'm sure he could have created a fascinating visual interpretation.

Thank you for that thorough review, Paul!
I didn't realize Heath was a talented chess player.
I would have liked to see them dig in a little bit to his preparation for his roles in BBM but maybe even more for his role in Lords of Dogtown, which he was also great in but I know less about and involved some physical transformation and perhaps learning to surf and skateboard (if he didn't know already -- being Australian you'd think he'd at least have surfed).
And then, frankly, I would have liked to see more about his death. Not sensationalized, but explanatory. I suspect he was deeply depressed for any number of possible reasons -- the breakup with Michelle the most obvious, but maybe others as well. But how did it happen? How did he get to that point?
Anyway, I look forward to seeing it on the 17th.
Quote from: serious crayons on May 06, 2017, 10:46:23 am
Apparently Heath was a few points short of being a chess grand master, whatever that is.
While there wasn't a whole lot about prepping for Ennis, Ang did say that Heath's performance in "Monster's Ball" sealed the deal. But, Ang still wasn't sure he could "carry" a film.
As for "Lords of Dogtown", there is a section where they talk about Heath's physical transformation, including the wig and the teeth, which maybe was his idea. It seemed that Heath was pretty comfortable with the surfboard and the skateboard already. It was also mentioned that Heath had completely gotten the voice down for the role. Nice to see Emil Hirsch commenting all these years later.
As for Heath's death, I think they made a particular effort to say how happy he was to be filming "Imaginarium" and seemed to be refuting any sense of depression on his part. Rather, the strenuous efforts doing the film, in the London damp winter, having pneumonia and being exhausted were stressed.
Yet, the film also mentioned that Heath somehow felt that he would die young. I didn't know that.
Katherine, I look forward to your own review.
Nice to see Emil Hirsch commenting all these years later.
Yeah, and OT, but whatever happened to Emil? He was such a good actor, was great in LoD and in some other good films like Into the Wild, and lately ... nada.
yes, so do I
Oh-oh, the pressure's on! Better go set the VCR.

How Long Will A Knee Implant Last? | Ask Kristoffer Breien, M.D.
Dr. Breien explains how patients have some control over the life of their knee implant.
Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 27 million Americans. Although the risk of developing this disease increases with age, it is not a disease confined to the elderly. At Summit, we treat patients in their 20s and 30s for osteoarthritic conditions. When conservative treatments fail and patients consider a knee replacement, they want to know how long they can expect their knee implant to last.
"Weight, activity, and implant type have the most significant impact on how long a knee replacement will last," says Dr. Breien. "Weight and activity matter most. We try to dissuade people from doing a lot of running and jumping. Low-impact exercise, on the other hand, is fine. Do as much elliptical work, bicycling, rollerblading, cross-country skiing, or swimming as you like. Those are low-impact activities.
"We tell patients to expect 20 to 25 years on their new knee," says Dr. Breien. "You may have more time if your activity level doesn't put demands on your implant. For patients who are at least 60 years of age, a knee replacement will probably last for a lifetime.
Ask Dr. Breien: Is A Partial Knee Replacement A Good Option For Me?
Dr. Dane Hansen explains that selecting a treatment plan for arthritis pain is a collaborative process.

Slow, deep mindful yoga practice is what I am interested in practicing and teaching at this point in my life. Those of you who have been with me since I began teaching in 2012, I'm sure, have witnessed a revision. I'm not only talking about a physical change in my practice (which is definitely evident). It is becoming more tangibly apparent that yoga is shedding light on my mental and emotional patterns and the quality of attention to these samskaras.
My personal practice is imperative. Experiential learning is key to my growth and teaching. It's essential for me to know how I feel things in my body and what emotions/thoughts arise. Each time I come to the mat, I cannot expect to feel as I did yesterday. The discipline of the work (in a gentle practice) is only to do the right amount for how am today. It means I need to get quiet and still so I can ask myself, "how do I feel?" This can be tricky as I don't always know how I feel or if I do know, I don't always know the right amount for it. The challenge, then, is that I need to make some kind of determination about it; I need to decide what the boundary is for me, right now, in this moment.
The discipline is to work within that and not go past. It's about finding the right amount of intensity that helps me stay focused. Some days I need to lay in shavasana and just be. Or I covet breath work, pranayama. Other days, my body and mind require more to stay focused on the moment; different variations of sun salutations often does the trick. I am constantly learning how to listen to my body to create an energy flow that is attractive to me. That draws me in. That keeps my attention.
Through my authentic practice, I am finding a beautiful residence. It is through this intimate time I set aside for myself that reveals physical sensations, emotions that exclusively belong to me, the person experiencing it. I cannot assume you will feel as I do when I practice; but as people we need to get to know ourselves. As a teacher, I am here to hold space for you to have your own experience.


When it moves into its new home this fall, the Franklin County Visitors Bureau will finally be able to show off the county from its own location.
CHAMBERSBURG - Today, the home of the Franklin County Visitors Bureau works against its mission. Practically hidden off a sidewalk between two buildings on South Main Street, most visitors would need help finding it.
Come fall, the visitors bureau will move from its inconspicuous office at 37 S. Main St. to a large former bank at 15 S. Main St. in Chambersburg's center square in the heart of Franklin County, and officially become the Franklin County Visitors Bureau and 11/30 Welcome Center.
The transition will allow the organization to use its own location to show off everything the county has to offer, and serve as a launch point from which people can go exploring, according to Janet Pollard, the executive director of the bureau.
The new home will allow the visitors bureau to continue on a trajectory it started a dozen years ago when it was first established by the county. But in that time, it's had no real space in which to promote its mission, instead working with outside partners and using the internet to achieve its goals. The new facility will operate as a hub for visitors and local people alike to learn about what they can do in the area.
"We have a lot of tourism assets across multiple themes of recreation, art and history to really explore, to put front and center for visitors to whet their appetite," Pollard said.
The 11/30 Welcome Center, named for the main roads that crisscross in Chambersburg, will take up the lower level of the building.
Exhibits will illustrate five themes, which will change every six to eight weeks. On display when the new center opens will be The Bridges of Franklin County, On the Move in Franklin County, Arts and Artisans, World War I and Franklin Fresh (food and dining).
Vaults that once stored loads of cash when the building served as several banks will instead take guests on journeys into key points of the county's history and highlight the county's towns today. One vault will show videos on topics such as the Underground Railroad and the Burning of Chambersburg, and the other will promote tours of towns.
"The whole concept of the 11/30 Welcome Center is to get people to launch a trip throughout Franklin County, to explore more and hopefully visit again and again," Pollard said.
The 11/30 Welcome Center will also be a place where the new certified tourism ambassadors can demonstrate their knowledge of the county. The third class of CTAs were certified in May, and the next class is planned for July. Anyone who wants to help promote the county or even just learn for themselves what the county offers can participate in the program.
The second floor will house the bureau's offices as well as space for the visitors bureau and its tourism partners to hold meetings. Pollard specifically pointed to bus tours using the space: for example, if the group wants to explore the area's German heritage, they could participate in a German cooking demonstration in this space.
With the launch of its new home, the visitors bureau will begin hosting bus tours most months of the year. The first one will be the Franklin County Barn Quilt Squares Tour, entitled Stitches in Time.
The visitors bureau has been steadily growing since the county commissioners resolved on one of the last days of 2005 to establish the organization and boost tourism in the county. The effort has really taken off in recent years, with the popular annual light show reenaction of the burning of Chambersburg that attracts thousands of people to downtown Chambersburg each July being perhaps the biggest example of success.
"So what you're looking at – the present-day impact is the result of these things building on top of each other over the past 10 years," Pollard said.
The momentum really started building when the visitors bureau became a nonprofit organization in 2014. It was then that the organization began considering a move.
The project has fallen behind a bit – the visitors bureau initially planned to move by last fall – but some of the delay was the result of wanting to get the design and renovation just right. Construction on the building – which was originally the National Bank of Chambersburg, and most recently served as a Santander Bank – began in March.
The cost of the project, not including the purchase of the building, will end up at about $1.5 to $1.7 million, Pollard said. Financing was provided by F&M Trust, the Franklin County Area Development Corp. and the Chambersburg Area Development Corp. The visitors bureau also secured an anchor building loan from the borough.
"This is a project that will ensure that that building is kept as a contributing structure in the downtown, and be in good repair, not be vacant and create vitality," Pollard said.
It is still very much up in the air, but Pollard hopes the new visitors bureau will open in time for Applefest, which takes place in downtown Chambersburg on Oct. 20.

How often do you update your status on social media? Nowadays, everyone likes to share, their thoughts, what they do and where they go on the various social media platforms, one of the most prominent being instagram. A study conducted by the global research firm Kantar TNS, showed that Malaysians are the most active instagrammers in the Asia Pacific region.
Spend the afternoon and chill out at Kakigori, a shaved ice desert bar in Taman Paramount. Made to resemble an ice factory with a garden structure and skylight, this desert bar has a cool interior which reflects the ices that they serve. The simple origami inspired furniture sets the mood for some interesting Japanese flavours and the Matcha flavoured Kakigori is highly recommended, you should definitely try it out!
Ru Di Fook is a Chinese-Japanese fusion noodle bar which specialises in wan tan noodles, desserts and coffee. The interior takes the air of a modern bistro and merges it with some new-Tokyo aesthetics. Fans of Japanese culture will enjoy the manga-style graphics here. We suggest the wan-tan noodles, their signature dish. We would describe it; however, it is better if you just taste it for yourself!
This glasshouse café is located a little further away from Kota Kemuning in Shah Alam. It may be small, with half the space being occupied by the coffee brewing station and counter; however, the unique structure and relaxed atmosphere makes the road trip worth it. We tried the flat white and it was to die for. Considering the delicious smells, we'll probably go there again to try the other drinks, and until then we at least have the memories of some delicious coffee.
Duddha takes the cake when it comes Asian fusion food. With a pop art setting and a menu made up of dishes like Caramelised cherry tomatoes with sansho peppers, black miso, watercress ice cream, Crispy goat with cashews and spiced quinoa, you will definitely find something satisfying for your eyes and your taste buds here. You absolutely MUST try their Duck Confit, it is DELICIOUS! Seriously, we cannot recommend it enough.
Started by the MentahMatter design firm, this restaurant has a raw, unvarnished charm with a leafy courtyard, coffee bar and a wine lounge. Chocha's creators Shin Chang and his team put their own personal spin on comfort cooking, promising platters of soul food with Asian inspirations and ingredients. We found our comfort in the Cincalok fried chicken; it was satisfyingly savoury with just a hint of sweetness to it.
This café in Bangsar is already attracting brunch hunters and instagrammers in droves. With a glasshouse space filled with pale wood, white rails, potted plants and pastel railings, you are sure to get am awesome picture and some good food here. We suggest the Legend, an amazing concoction of baked eggs with beef salami, okra, caramelised onion jam, sweet corn, mushrooms & basil oil with herbed garlic toast. That is a big mouthful, and the reason for that is it is a brunch (breakfast and lunch put together), so of course it was big, and delicious. If you are on a diet you'll want to avoid this place, otherwise go ahead and indulge!
Whether you visit these restaurants for their tasty treats or whether for the tasteful snaps, you are sure to have great time.

The findings
Room A1. A large number of objects - almost 650 - of Cycladic, Corinthian, Attic, Eastern Ionian, Cypriot, Syrian and Egyptian origins were discovered under the floor slabs of the north chamber of the temple. Most of them date back to the archaic period (7th century BC - 6th century BC), while a few vessels of the geometric period (8th century BC) were also discovered. They belong to common types of votive offerings found in most archaic sanctuaries in Greece and the East (Delos, Paros, Kythnos, Thassos, Samos, Rhodes, etc.). Many of them were found intact, indicating their careful and deliberate deposition. This fact in combination with the earlier dating of the objects from that of the construction of the room in which they were found dictate their interpretation as earlier offerings in the sanctuary, which during the construction of the new place of worship were placed inside it, in order to protect and not destroyed. This practice is also found in other archaic sanctuaries, but the peculiarity in the case of the Despotic is that the votive offerings are kept under the floor of the temple and not in storehouses.
Most of the findings are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Paros.
Antenna. The Parian or other Cycladic vessels, such as skyphos with instant decoration, tanni bottles, paintings, wine glasses, craters and bags, which date back to the 7th century BC. and at the beginning of the 6th century BC. are an important part of the storage in room A1. A large number of imported vessels, mainly from Corinth and Ionia. The Corinthian vessels belong to common types that were produced exclusively for export and have been found in many sanctuaries of the Aegean and the East: miniature acorns, alabasters, four-leafed aryvallos and aryvallos in the shape of a phallus. In the workshops of the eastern Mediterranean, there are two animal-shaped lizards in the shape of a hare and a rooster, a lizard of the so-called Rhodian-Cretan type, a lioness in the shape of a lioness, as well as a lizard in the shape of an upright female breast.
Figurines. Many clay figurines of female seated figures with polo (priestly hat) belonging to the production of archaic workshops of Ionia (Samos, Rhodes, Miletus) were found, as well as a clay lion figurine. Several clay masks were also unveiled, which were respectively from Heraion of Delos and Delion of Paros.
Metal objects. A large number of useful metal objects made of copper, iron and steel, such as agricultural tools, axes, scythes, spears, manuals and swords, came to light. From the bronze objects stand out the buckles that belong to different types of the lategeometric and archaic period (spiral, octagonal, phrygian type). A rare bird is a bronze bird.
Φαγεντιανή. Many faience items are imported from Egypt or are imitations of other workshops. Characteristically, it is a hawk-shaped periphery, which represents the god Horus and has an apotropaic character, a human-shaped double vessel of Egyptian style, which is associated with fertility and childbirth and is attributed to a Rhodian laboratory, as well as a divine whole patron deity of mothers and newborns. Several disc or cylindrical beads with holes and beetles imported from Egypt were also found.
Ivory. Hard-to-find and valuable material imported into the Mediterranean from Syria and Egypt. Among the finds of the deposit are whole octagonal buckles dating to the 8th-6th century BC, similar to those found in the sanctuaries of Ephesus, Sifnos and Delos, three ivory discs, of the same type as Delio of Paros, as well as a small compass with its cap.
Beads. Dozens of glass beads of various shapes were found from laboratories in northern Syria, Phenicia and northern Mesopotamia. Particular are the Phoenician triangular and incongruous beads adorned with yellowish spirals of inlaid glass (8th-7th century BC). A rare find are two electro beads, a precious material imported from northwestern Europe and the Baltic.
Seal stones. Most of the seal stones have profiled animals on the sealing surface and are made of steatite, jasper and other semi-precious stones.
Gold items. Only four gold items, two spherical beads, a spiral necklace and a pomegranate-shaped fork head were found in the deposit.
A special find is the ostrich egg. During the 7th-6th century BC. ostrich eggs are found in several Aegean sanctuaries.
Maze figurine. The most important of the finds in room A1 is the upper part of a large maze of female figures. It was also placed on the ground along with the other objects and was probably broken before being deposited in the archaic temple. Only the upper part of the trunk survives, from the waist up with the head, 0.25 ύψ high. The figurine has on its head a pole (priestly hat) which is partially preserved and has a far edge which is rendered with painted decoration. No fragments are preserved from the lower part of the figurine, but using as comparatively parallel the cylindrical lower trunks of two clay figurines found in the Castle of Sifnos and coming respectively from workshops of Paros and Naxos, it was assumed that the lower part of the also cylindrical. From its stylistic features it dates back to around 675-650 BC. and is attributed to a Parian artist, perhaps of the same workshop that produced the famous hydrias found in the "purification pit" in Rhenia, the islet opposite Delos. Due to its size, quality and iconographic features, it is identified with the earliest cult idol of the sanctuary and may represent the god Apollo.
Room A2. Inside the south room of the temple were found three large fish bases, two square and one rectangular. One of them - glued from four fragments - was probably the basis of the sacred statue. It dates back to around 500-490 BC, as it is typologically similar to the base of the cult statue of Arteia from Parian Delion.
During the demolition of the old mantra in 2002, two fragments of the body of a statue of colossal size were found embedded in it. The fragments must be in line with the left lower leg of the plinth, which was found a short distance from the temple and in which the sandal can be seen with two holes, one on each side, for the insertion of copper straps. Based on its size and stylistic features, it is likely that it is a cult statue. It is not clear if he belongs to a female deity or if he represents the god Apollo, who is often depicted in a long robe.
Prosto. Inside the porch of the temple, beneath the foundation of its eastern wall, Corinthian vessels were unearthed, which had been placed there for the good foundation of the building - a kind of 'foundation deposit' - as well as the archaic Psarry enclosure bearing the rim inscription "MARDIS ANETHIKEN". The name Mardis is of Eastern origin, similar to other male names of Eastern origin, such as the name Mardonius of the well-known Persian general.

In recent years, Kirsi has focused on board work, including the Board of Directors of Lignell & Piispanen and Helsinki Mill. She also volunteers for Mentors in Finland.
"I am very excited about this opportunity. Lignell & Piispanen is a family-owned business with a long history and interesting stories. It has excellent and well-known products as well as a lot of know-how, which is good to build on in the future. The alcohol industry is already familiar to me. This industry sector has been in constant change, and it requires companies to be constantly awake. With this arrangement we will be able to respond better to these changes, "says Kirsi Räikkönen.
"We have started a number of interesting development projects. Having Kirsi taking over operational duties helps us and gives me more time to focus on these important projects. Kirsi has been a member of the Board of Directors for several years and she has brought new insights into the action. So I am pleased with the change and look forward to working together with Kirsi" says Harri Nylund, who is taking over Development Director´s role.
Founded in 1852, the Lignell & Piispanen distillery is the third oldest family-owned company still in operation in Finland. The success of this internationally award-winning company is based on six generations of craftsmanship, knowledge of raw materials, 100% transparency and respect for the principles of sustainable development.

LIGNELL & PIISPANEN ON THE IWSC CANDIDATE LIST FOR THE WORLD'S BEST VODKA PRODUCER


Following last night's UFC On ESPN 2 event the recipients of the evening's $50,000 bonus awards were announced.
It might have only lasted half a round, but the main event fireworks between Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza earned them 'Fight Of The Night' honors last night.
The two lightweight stars started out by blasting each other with huge leg kicks, but then Gaethje hurt Barboza with a punch and continued to attack.
Barboza did his best to fight back, but then as he was retreating Gaethje caught him flush with a big right hook that knocked him out cold in spectacular highlight reel fashion.
Meanwhile, Jack Hermansson earned a 'Performance Of The Night' award after he came with all guns blazing at David Branch from the opening bell in the co-main event, following up strikes with a slick trip takedown and then locking up a guillotine choke finish just 49 seconds into the fight.
Also earning a performance bonus was Paul Craig, who looked for takedowns and pulled guard at times against Kennedy Nzechukwu in order to get his submission game going, but wasn't quite able to lock up a finish.
In the end that meant he had to stand and trade with his dangerous rival, and he actually did a respectable job of that before finally getting his opponent down and locking up that triangle choke submission he'd tried for several times in the final minute of the fight.

Matt Duffy's spot on Astros roster a special moment in Bronx
By Evan Drellich on October 6, 2015 at 8:20 PM
NEW YORK — Matt Duffy heard voices during batting practice Tuesday evening, a member of the last hitting group as the last man on the Astros' 25-man roster for the wild card game.
People were calling to him. Someone he played Little League with, friends who moved from New England to New York just showing up in the Bronx. Family came down from Massachusetts too.
How quickly his life has changed.
Duffy, 26, wasn't even in the big leagues this time a month ago. The righthanded corner infielder was called up in mid-September from Class AAA Fresno, an Astros 20th round pick in 2011 who just kept hitting until he got a chance up top. He was the Pacific Coast League's MVP.
On Tuesday, in a one-game playoff where rosters for both the Yankees and Astros were far from ordinary because teams didn't need to carry more than a couple starting pitchers, Duffy officially became a part of the postseason. Manager A.J. Hinch delivered the news Monday during a workout at Yankee Stadium, choosing Duffy for the final spot on the roster over the likes of Jon Singleton, Vince Velasquez and Joe Thatcher.
"What a great story for Duff," Hinch said Tuesday. "He's living the dream here, obviously being from the northeast. We're at Yankee Stadium, he's on the playoff roster, off a player-of-the-year type of season in the minor leagues. His at-bat quality has been pretty good. He hasn't had an opportunity (often), but there's something about his at-bats that makes you feel pretty comfortable when you're in my shoes."
Duffy, who's quiet to begin with, took the good news in stride.
He grew up outside of Boston and still lives in the area in the winter, sharing a place with his brother. His grandmother lives upstairs. He was a gigantic Red Sox fan growing up.
As highlights of Yankees-Red Sox clashes played at the Stadium Tuesday — the Aaron Boone walk-off among them — Duffy said he could recall where he was when he watched those games.
He didn't hate the Yankees so much as he adored the Red Sox.
"It's crazy," Duffy said an hour before first pitch said of being on the Astros' roster in this building. "I always hoped it would happen, and you dream about stuff like this when you're a kid and just being in the big leagues. To cap it off by being a part of the playoff push and being a part of that celebration (in Arizona on Sunday) and Yankee Stadium, it doesn't get any bigger or better than this."
Duffy was drafted out of the University of Tennessee, but he only transferred there after the only school that showed any interest in him out of high school — the University of Vermont — folded its baseball program. He'll likely go down as the last player that UVM, a Division I school in the lesser known America East conference, sends to the big leagues.
With an even temperament and a clear — that is, thick — New England accent when he gets going, Duffy has talked a little with George Springer about their common roots. Springer grew up in Connecticut.
"I didn't know which side he fell on, because half of it's Yankees and Red Sox," Duffy said. "Moreso than that, I was concerned whether he's a Patriots fan or not."
Duffy got the answer he wanted: Springer is a Pats fan.
Duffy, unlike the first-round pick Springer, signed for roughly a couple thousand bucks. Duffy couldn't remember the exact figure, which tells you how small it was.
Persistence in the minor leagues for a player who isn't pegged to be a star takes a certain disposition — or really, a certain perspective.
Every time he plays, Duffy remembers one person who can't see him play anymore, who can't stop by the dugout.
Duffy is the second children of five. The first born, his sister Catelyn, passed away in July 2010 because of a rare genetic disease, Fanconi Anemia, which leads to bone marrow failure. She was 22.
"She was obviously a big fan of me and knew how much I loved baseball," Duffy said. "I think she impacted me more after she passed away than when she was actually alive for the fact that baseball is a game of failure. To see what she went through, her whole life having to battle and never complaining once, just puts an 0-for-4 in perspective real quick.
"Thinking about how it's just a game."
Catelyn had two bone marrow transplants, Duffy said, one when she was a pre-teen and another in his early years in college, not long before she passed away.
"She lived normal as best as she possibly could," Duffy said. "A ton of visits to the hospital, blood transfusions, you name it. … I don't know how she was so positive through all of it. I would have been a miserable, miserable (guy). I just would have been miserable."
On Tuesday, standing in the dugout after all his teammates had gone inside the clubhouse, Duffy knew what the day would have meant to his sister. Her voice has always stayed with him, in every duguout.
"Every day that I play, I think of her," he said. "I know this would make her proud."

Economic development focus is 'quality of life'
Posted by Leota Harriman | Sep 4, 2015 | News | 0 |
By Leota Harriman
The Estancia Valley Economic Development Association, or EVEDA, has been making the rounds of town councils and county commissions, giving its twice-yearly update.
This year, $10,000 in state funding dried up, and EVEDA closed that gap by asking for a bit more from its government support base, with Moriarty, Torrance County and Estancia each chipping in extra on their contract renewals to make up the difference.
Torrance County gave an additional $5,000 for a total of $20,000 this year; the two towns each gave an additional $2,500, with Moriarty's total at $10,000.
EVEDA is a certified economic development association, important because communities are required by state law to have a certified organization for certain funding. The Local Economic Development Act prohibits towns and counties from paying anyone except a certified economic development association for economic development.
The regional organization's board is comprised of an elected official from each of its member communities, along with what executive director Myra Pancrazio called "the private money," representatives from businesses around the area. All give funding support, with public dollars amounting to slightly more than half of EVEDA's total funding, according to a report from The Idea Group, which analyzed EVEDA's impact on the economy of the Estancia Valley.
According to that report, in the 8-year period from 2004 to 2012, EVEDA brought or helped to bring 519 jobs, paying salaries in 2012 of $15 million. Of those jobs, The Idea Group said that EVEDA directly recruited 204 jobs that likely wouldn't have come to the area otherwise.
In her report to Moriarty and Torrance County earlier, Pancrazio gave a quick update on projects underway.
Google is still the big news for EVEDA and the economic development of the area, with the big unknown whether the tech giant will remain in Moriarty past the research phase on the Titan Aerospace solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly referred to as a drone.
"The UAV will never be assembled here," Pancrazio said. "But some of the parts could be manufactured here."
What those high-paid millenial workers at Google want, Pancrazio said, is retail shops and mixed-use development, like master-planned communities that combine residential with retail and open space. "Quality of life," she said to the Moriarty council, adding, "Homes, homes, homes, homes."
Because what Google does or doesn't do will impact larger economic development initiatives, Pancrazio said EVEDA is recruiting retail companies, something it has not done much so far, as it focuses on "economic base" recruiting of companies.
Another factor there is a push to create an inland port of entry in Albuquerque, meaning that a manufacturer could put a product on a truck in Moriarty, for example, then drive to Albuquerque, where it would be moved through various "modes" of transportation like rail and shipping containers. If that happens, the Estancia Valley would become a desirable location for manufacturing because the time needed to get goods to market would be cut in half, Pancrazio said.
Pancrazio said she has had conversations with land developers who want to work in municipalities that own their own water and sewer systems, which would be an advantage for Moriarty, Estancia and Mountainair.
Edgewood has a sewer system and has been working to increase its capacity, but there is no municipal water system in town. Residents are served by private water companies, domestic wells, and water associations.
EVEDA is also creating an exploratory committee to look at whether Torrance County could bring in a hospital. Pancrazio said that soon both First Choice Medical Center in Edgewood and McLeod Medical, which has offices in Moriarty, Edgewood and Cedar Crest, will offer urgent care services. She said both are supportive of the idea of a county hospital.
Asked how Torrance County could afford to pay for a hospital, Pancrazio said one idea is to look at PILT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) dollars that come in to counties that have a large area of federal lands. The dollars replace what might have been paid in taxes if those federal lands were in private hands.
Those PILT funds will expand greatly with the Iberdrola wind farm project, which is still "alive and kicking very hard," she said. Iberdrola recently entered a 25-year contract agreement with Tri-State Generation and Transmission for purchase of wind-generated electricity.
According to that press release, the wind farm is expected to be completed in 2017, when it will produce 76 megawatts of energy, all of which will be purchased by Tri-State.
If some of those PILT dollars were identified "specifically for longterm project—because that money's longterm—how do you fund it? That might be a way," she said, adding that the idea has been under consideration by the EVEDA board, and is one of the things the exploratory committee will look at.
Pancrazio said that the Shops on 66 has "three prospective tenants," and that Cordova Construction is looking at other construction projects for the area as well.
She also told the city council that a $5 million expansion project and "a couple of hotels," along with a large solar farm, are being considered.
Councilor Steve Anaya said that there were six counties in the state with more than 40 percent increase in housing sales: "Torrance County was one of them," he said. "It's all based on jobs." Anaya is Moriarty's representative on the EVEDA board and will head up the exploratory committee on a hospital.
The organization works, Pancrazio said, because elected officials on the board are committed to economic development of the region as a whole, and because those politicians "check their hat at the door."
She said while the organization is active at the state level, "we don't jump on anybody's cause."
