A: There's a Bootstrap class for making images responsive: img-fluid.
Put this class in your img tag, and it should work without having to use other classes to make it look as you want.

FoA steps in to stop sanctuary chimps from being sent to research lab
Home > News & Alerts > FoA steps in to stop sanctuary chimps from being sent to research lab
Take Action to Save NY Mute Swans
What's Killing America's Bees?
Posted by Meghan McIntire in
The fate of chimps from an Oregon-based sanctuary run by Chimps Inc. that were going to be sent to a research lab took a hopeful turn after Primarily Primates, Friends of Animal's sanctuary, filed a lawsuit to stop the action.
In Oregon state court Monday, Chimps Inc. indicated it would be willing to consider keeping the chimps at the Oregon sanctuary in Tumalo under the management of the newly formed nonprofit Freedom for Great Apes, an option PPI indicated would be beneficial to the chimps in its lawsuit. Chimps Inc.'s reaction follows a temporary restraining order PPI obtained last week to freeze Chimp's Inc.'s planned move of the primates to the Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative research lab in Des Moines, Iowa.
An Oregon state court judge issued the order March 21 after PPI filed a lawsuit March 19 seeking the return of two chimps, Emma, and Jackson, from Chimps Inc. who had been sent to Tumalo in 2006 after the Texas sanctuary was temporarily closed following allegations of animal neglect and misuse of funds. Friends of Animals took over management and oversight of the 78-acre PPI in 2007. In a 2008 settlement Chimps Inc. agreed to secure permanent sanctuary for Emma and Jackson in perpetuity and to give PPI rights to bring the two chimps back to PPI if Chimps Inc. dissolved or needed to find a home for them.
"It's unheard of that chimpanzees in a sanctuary would be sold or moved to a research facility when sanctuaries exist to receive primates and other animals after they are released,'' Friends of Animals President Priscilla Feral said. "Emma and Jackson have been at the sanctuary in Tumalo for 12 years, having the freedom and privilege of following their own interests and choosing how to spend their time and days as sanctuary residents. Any effort to tear Emma and Jackson away from their lives of freedom and safety at a sanctuary would cause severe emotional and physical harm and would be severely detrimental to the health and well-being of these chimpanzees, perhaps fatal."
PPI is willing to pay for and relocate all seven of Chimps Inc. to its San Antonio sanctuary, it said in the lawsuit or keep the apes in Oregon with Freedom for Great Apes, which has signed a long-term lease with the owner of the property in Tumalo, Lesley Day. Chimps Inc.'s lease with Day, who stepped down as president of Chimps Inc, in 2017, ends May 10.
Check back for more updates on PPI's efforts to make sure the chimps remain in a sanctuary.

Upper Deck announced Monday that LeBron James has decided to make some changes to the way he signs his name on memorabilia.
James, who is under an exclusive autograph contract with Upper Deck Authenticated, says he is making the change to coincide with his change in teams.
Since 2003, when he embarked on his NBA career, James has always signed his first name with a looping "L" that closely resembled the start of his uniform No. 23. Now he's tapered that with a more definable starting letter and added "#6" to each autograph.
The differences in the two signatures are fairly significant. Upper Deck is no doubt hoping the move might spur some sales.
"I look at it as a partnership and not just an endorsement deal," James said of his contract with the California-based company.
Upper Deck has already trotted out some of the items James signed last week. An autographed Spalding basketball, limited to 100 with a specially stamped Miami Heat logo on one of its panels, retails for $899.99, while an autographed 16" X 20" "Welcome to Miami" photo showing LeBron wearing his new No. 6 Heat home uniform sells for $699.99.


Blues welcome Nottingham Forest to St. Andrews today, off the back of a gut -wrenching, yet highly admirable point at Swansea on Tuesday evening.
Blues' last win came at home on Boxing Day, and three points is definitely needed to keep any play-off chances in question. Forest find themselves two points above Monk's men, so the loser of this one really does begin to lose ground.
Forest have a new man in the hot seat, and it's a familiar face. Former Villa boss Martin O'Neil is the new man in charge, winning one and losing one of his first two encounters.
Thankfully, Blues weren't busy. So breathe, Che isn't going anywhere and will start on Saturday. What a relief.
Kristian Pedersen will miss the game following his red card on Tuesday, so Wes Harding will start at right back, with Colin switching to the left side.
The game will come to soon for David Davis, but the midfielder is set to feature for the under 23's. We could well see Mrabti start in place of Jota this week.
Forest are without striker Soudani and defender Darikwa for the visit.
The last time the sides met was back in August, where two late Forest goals denied Blues the win after being two goals ahead.
A win is desperately needed for Monk's men, but Forest will be no push overs knowing that a win could have them in touching distance of the play offs.

Yesterday I finally received the next piece of equipment to allow us to shoot better pictures underwater : an 8" dome from Aquatech to put the 16-35mm in the housing.
I hoped this would be a game changer and it is…on many levels !
The thing is bigger than a flat port and weighs more; adding the weight of the extension and the camera, the lens etc… I am like a donkey and I struggle fitting in everything in my bag.
But this is all well worth it even if there is one piece of equipment (the zoom ring), that really lets me in on how much I am getting screwed ! This is one ring of plastic that has dents allowing an internal mechanism to move the zoom ring.
This costs $149 and I think $30 would already be a rip off ! Anyways I won't start complaining about the price of photography equipment or I could dedicate the blog to that sole purpose !
Being able to shoot the Nikon 16-35mm underwater is heaven ! This is really a great lens that takes the sun full face with very little inconveniences, flare or anything.
I am happy to have this in my bag !
The water was very dirty at the beach yesterday, I mean in terms of sand and I couldn't see very far.
But I still managed to have lots of fun and even shoot one picture of the sun I am particularly happy with.


Here you will find my conceptual framework for how I approach improvisation in general, and specifically my analysis of my own improvisations.
Material – Decisions dealing with manipulations of local, sonic materials. This can come in the form of instrumental behaviours or general development, but is open to context and interpretation.
Formal – Decisions dealing with form and transitions.
Interface – Decisions dealing with instrument, ergonomics, technology, and performance modalities.
Interaction – Decisions dealing with how materials interact. This is primarily dealing with simultaneous materials (as opposed to Formal decisions), but is not exclusively so.
Generating these analyses has given me some insight into how my decision making apparatus works in time. I can see explicit patterns and tendencies in the way decisions are structured, but more importantly, tuning in to that decision framework has let me draw a conceptual circle around that creative plane, and let me articulate on it.

Q: Partial derivative of matrix product in neural network I'm reading a book about neural network. In the section about back-propagation of an Affine-layer of the network, the author provides a formula and omits the details.
Say $$\mathbf{X}\cdot\mathbf{W}=\mathbf{Y},$$
which $\mathbf{X}$ is of dimension $(N, 2)$, $\mathbf{W}$ of $(2, 3)$ respectively. The loss function, say $L$, will do some modification to the $\mathbf{Y}$. Then the provided formula is:
$$\begin{align}\\
\frac{\partial L}{\partial\mathbf{X}} &= \frac{\partial L}{\partial\mathbf{Y}}\cdot\mathbf{W}^\mathrm{T},\\
\frac{\partial L}{\partial\mathbf{W}} &= \mathbf{X}^\mathrm{T}\cdot\frac{\partial L}{\partial\mathbf{X}}.\\
\end{align}$$
What I really want to know first is that what's the dimension of $\Large\frac{\partial\mathbf{Y}}{\partial\mathbf{X}}$? Since
$$\large y_{ij} = \sum^{2}x_{ik}\cdot w_{kj},$$
so for each $y_{ij}$ there are two related $x_{ik}$ to with respect to? I'm confused at this point. What's the definition of the partial derivative of a matrix multiplication/product? And I don't know why there come up with the transposes $\mathbf{W}^\mathrm{T}$ and $\mathbf{X}^\mathrm{T}$?
I draw a picture about this process(and I omit the $\mathbf{B}$, which means bias but since it's out of concern here I assume it be zero matrix):

A: Suppose we are given a loss function $L=L(Y)\,$ and its gradient $\,G=\frac{\partial L}{\partial Y}$
Then suppose we are told that $Y$ in turn, depends on two other variables
$$\eqalign{
 Y &= XW \cr
dY &= dX\,W+X\,dW \cr
}$$
Let's find the differential of the loss function with respect to these two variables.
$$\eqalign{
dL &= G:dY \cr
 &= G:dX\,W + G:X\,dW \cr
 &= GW^T:dX + X^TG:dW \cr
}$$
Holding $W$ constant means that $dW=0$, and yields the gradient
$$\eqalign{
 \frac{\partial L}{\partial X} &= GW^T \cr
}$$
Similarly, holding $X$ constant yields the gradient wrt $W$
$$\eqalign{
\frac{\partial L}{\partial W} &= X^TG \cr\cr
}$$
In some of the steps above, a colon was used to denote the trace/Frobenius product
$$A:B = {\rm tr}(A^TB)$$

Title: Official 2010 WPIX Yule Log Press Release
THE WPIX Yule LOG
CELEBRATES 44 YEARS
THE YULE LOG TO AIR ON DECEMBER 25
NEW YORK, December 2, 2010 – It wouldn't be a holiday in New York without the WPIX Yule Log! The Yule Log, the famous film loop of a burning log in a hearth, has warmed the hearts of` viewers since its debut on WPIX in 1966. To celebrate the Log's 44th anniversary, WPIX will air The Yule Log (available in HD) from 9am-1pm on Christmas morning, Saturday, December 25th. At 1pm, immediately following The Yule Log, WPIX will air the beloved holiday classic, March of the Wooden Soldiers.
The Log will also be offered with downloadable elements including wallpaper and a "portable" Log at www.wpix.com. Viewers can follow the Yule Log on twitter @PIXYULELOG and become a fan of the Official Yule Log on Facebook (PIXYuleLog). Log merchandise (including "Nice Log!" and "That's HOT!" boxer shorts) can be found at: www.cafepress.com/wpix/.
In recent years, The Yule Log has been digitally re-mastered and fully restored. In 2001 the original film was color corrected and cleaned.

"Chip" Arcuri and Joe Malzone, the creators of TheYuleLog.com, restored the audio of The Yule Log and in 2009, with the assistance of "Chip" Arcuri, WPIX added a new fourth hour to the program, including 23 classic holiday songs. The fourth hour (which begins at 12 noon on 12/25) leads off with Mantovani's beautiful interpretation of Adeste Fideles, a classic that aired on the Yule Log in the late 1960s; now restored back to the program. The new hour also adds 9 new artists including Bert Kaempfert, Mitch Miller, Bing Crosby, Sammy Kaye, Vic Damone, Johnny Mathis and Mike Douglas.

Re:Official 2010 WPIX Yule Log Press Release
YAAY!I get to watch my Beloved Yule Log this year! (Or at least record it!) Will the WGN Broacast have the full 4 Hours,or will it be like last year? Peace & Love on Earth this season to all,Michael Boyce
Sorry Michael, but that listing in the press release is for the local WGN Channel 9 in Chicago.
As I said earlier on the board, WGN America is not showing the Yule Log this year. It will be on the new Antenna TV network next year, Click here.
Hi Chip,
I was searching our guide on Dish Network and it shows that KTLA is showing the Yule Log from, 7:30 to 9:00 am pm the 25th and then from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm on the 25th.
And it shows that KWGN is airing it from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm on the 25th. But the Press Release shows 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Is the press release from WPIX incorrect? Being they don't mention KTLA. We don't subscribe to KTLA or KWGN, but could add those two channels as well as WSBK if we wanted. But none of them are available in HD as is with WPIX we can only get it in SD but that is better than not getting it at all.
According to WGN America, They are going to be airing a couple episodes of In The Heat Of The Night. Walker, Texas Ranger. Law & Order Criminal Intent. The Unit between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm Christmas day so I guess, Sean Compton hasn't had a change of heart and wanting to give the viewers what they want.
Such a disappointment. But hopefully next year we with get to watch The Yule Log in HD, but as of right now, Dish Network has no information on whether or not we will be getting "Antenna TV"
The Dish Network is wrong: the Yule Log will be shown on KWGN in Denver from 12pm to 3pm, as stated in the press release. I called program director Garrett Sailer on his cell phone and he confirmed that for me. He also said that following the Yule Log they will be showing Miracle on 34th Street from 3pm to 5pm.
As for KTLA in Los Angeles, they are showing their own version of the Yule Log, not our original program.
I think I forgot about time zone changes, so KWGN would be right for them but the time they are showing us Eastern.
The guide doesn't give me any specific information on any of the channels that are showing "The Yule Log". All the information shows "Series/Special - Seasonal Music"
I thought maybe KTLA would be the WPIX Yule Log being the second airing is 4 hours, but you already clarified that for me.

Re: 2011 Yule Log Availability on Antenna Network and 2010 Availability
For those on Time Warner cable in the rest of New York State......I'm just curious how/where the 2010 broadcast could have been received? Anybody out there in Western NY have the opportunity to watch it??? Please drop a note.
For 2011, not sure of TWC will be carrying the Antenna NW or not. I hope so.....would be fun to see the Yule Log broadcast after all these years away. Loved our system when WPIX was one our cable's flagship import stations. I found myself watching NY City news, sports & weather as much or more than I did our own. Great memories.....fond recall of the Yankees on PIX before the broadcasting dynasty got put in place with YES, Gerry Gerard on Sports, et. al.
If any info, please re: above, would love to have the feedback. Thanks in advance.
Tenorplayer23,
I live in the Buffalo, area and Time Warner Cable doesn't carry WPIX. I was going to go with Time Warner after they took over Adelphia and I asked them specifically about WPIX Channel 11 out of New York City and they told me that they don't and can't offer the channel to their customers in Western NY. I'm not sure who too over Adelphia in the Rochester area so I can't answer for anyone in that area.
We had DirecTV for a while about 12 years ago but they weren't going to give us our local channels. Dish Network was able to give us our local channels, well, some of them, but to get a couple of them they would've had to install a 2nd Dish and the landlady had just had the house done over with vinyl siding and didn't want any holes in it.
But Dish Network was able to offer us a Superstation Package. WPIX, WWOR, WSPK, KWGN and KTLA or you could get them A-la-Carte so we were able to get WPIX. Then DirecTV finally came out with all our local stations and we only needed one 3 LNB Dish so we switched back to DirecTV and unfortunately lost WPIX, but like everyone else, we did get WGN America. So we could still watch the Yule Log, but even after the 3-hour restoration, they would only show the abridged 2- hour version.
I had called DirecTV several times a year to see about getting WPIX and they told us because we already have a CW affiliate, that the FCC wouldn't let them give us another, but then we also get WGN America which is a CW Affiliate and that was OK. They told me it has to do with a Direct Market Broadcast Area. (That isn't the exact wording, but I can't think of how they explained it) But if Dish Network can give us all 5 of the stations I mentioned above, why can't DirecTV?
We moved about 16 months ago and there was already a DirecTV Dish here and 2 Dish Network Dishes so for DirecTV I just had to connect the cables to the receiver, but the way the DirecTV dish was installed, it was on the railing of our deck and our neighbor has a garage just on the other side of the deck and it looked like it would block the signal, but it was OK. Until, we got a couple snow storms and the snow piled up on the garage roof and blocked out or signal. So the first Christmas, we lost part of the WPIX broadcast due to snow on the garage roof.
In February 2010, I called Dish Network and they would give us a $15.00 a month discount for 12 months for switching with them and we got WPIX and WWOR so we were able to watch The new additional 4th hour even though at the last minute, WGN broke their promise to us all, and didn't broadcast the WPIX Yule Log, we were still able to watch it on WPIX.
I've called and emailed all our local stations and a coupe of them are competitors on Antenna TV as WGRZ Channel 2 carries Retro Television on digital 2-3 over the air. Channels 4 and 23 WIVB and WNLO are owned by Lin Broadcasting which is a competitor of Tribune. Channel 67 WNGS carries THIS TV which is a competitor or Antenna TV.
Channel 7 WKBW won't give us Antenna TV
Channel 17 WNED is our PBS affiliate.
Channel 26 WNYB is TCT and they carry TCT Family on Digital 26-3 which is sort of a competitor of Antenna TV as they show some of the classic TV Shows and Movies.
Channel 51 WPXJ is ION Television and we can only get it via Dish Network and not over the air as we can with some of out other local Digital TV Stations. So that only leaves Channel 29 WUTV is FOX and Channel 49 WNYO is MyTV and they are owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group and they have been in contact with Antenna TV and they are not going to be carrying it as I guess they couldn't come to a financial agreement. So Western NY is out of luck. Dish Network has no plans of giving us Antenna TV as a new channel and they do not have to give us the sub-channels of our local channels.
I don't know if Time Warner has any plans of giving their customers Antenna TV and I don't know if DirecTV has any plans either. But if you wanted to go with Dish Network, you could get WPIX just not in HD But that could change as they are moving people on the East from the 61.5 110 1 119 orbital locations to the 61.5 72 and 77 orbital locations and they are changing out all the dishes. They call it the Eastern Arc Upgrade and it is done for free. They are keeping the 110 and 119 orbital locations for the West Coast.
They are doing this because there are too many HD channels now and with each satellite having only a certain number of transponders, they move the East Coast or Eastern States to the 72 and 77 locations so that they can free up transponders and give other Cities more HD Channels as some Cities have more than 10 local stations broadcasting in HD but with everyone on the East and West on the 110 and 119 they just couldn't offer every customer their local channels in HD because of all the other channels that are in HD too that everyone get. CNN and The Weather Channel are just 2 channels but of course there are several more that everyone gets so now they have more transponders so they can offer more channels.
But even if I wanted to tell Dish Network that I moved to NYC and gave them a phone # and address that I moved to. (Lets say it was a friend who was already a Dish Network Customer and they added my to their account, I wouldn't be able to get WPIX in HD because physically I am in Western NY and WPIX is a SPOTBEAM and the NYC SPOTBEAM doesn't reach Buffalo.
So my best suggestion is to look into Dish Network and they do offer WPIX for $2.00 a month for individual Super Stations that I mentioned above or you can get the entire package. It used to be $6.00 a month, but they raised their rates recently and we don't subscribe to any Premium channels, but get their America's Top 250 Package and we get our locals and WPIX and WWOR and we have an HD Dual tuner DVR so our whole bill with taxes comes to about $87.00 a month and we don't do any VOD or PPV. We are also getting Starz for free for a year because they raised our monthly rate $5.00 a month. At least you could get WPIX just not in HD.
I hope this is helpful to you but I don't believe Western NY will be getting Antenna TV any time soon. At least over the air with a Digital tuner or Digital to Analog converter box and external antenna or on Dish Network. Again I can't answer for Time Warner, DirecTV except about WPIX. Or even FIOS. But FIOS doesn't offer WPIX. Buffalo can't get FIOS TV but can get FIOS Phone and Internet, but Tonawanda, West Seneca, Lackawanna and Cheektowaga all have FIOS TV and their channel line-up doesn't have WPIX available.
I wanted to add that not only did I call and email all our local stations, but also called and emailed their Parent Companies and none of them will give us Antenna TV.
Thank-you Susan for the detailed note.....great information, except that I have TWC and probably won't switch. Was just curious about any other experience with TWC (Monroe County)......but would think that much of the non-local programming would be identical. Not going to switch carriers to find the Yule Log....just thought it would be fun to have. Appreciate the info.
I know I didn't want to switch from DirecTV, but financially at the time saving $15.00 a month for a year was helpful but we lost some channels on DirecTV that we would have to pay extra for to get on Dish Network, but it's worth it just for WPIX.

US Screwed: Russia's Avangard hypersonic missile system to assume combat duty in 2019, says source
The missile systems will be put on combat duty in the Red Banner Missile Division in the Orenburg Region
Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
MOSCOW, /TASS/. The first regiment armed with the Avangard system comprising an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and a hypersonic glide vehicle will assume combat duty until the end of 2019, a source in the domestic defense industry told TASS on Monday.
"The scheduled period for placing the lead regiment on combat duty is the end of 2019. Initially, the regiment will comprise at least two systems but eventually their number will rise to their organic quantity of six units," the source said.
As Russia's Defense Ministry officially stated, the first Avangard hypersonic missile systems will be put on combat duty in the Red Banner Missile Division based in the Orenburg Region in the south Urals.
According to the source, the Avangard hypersonic system is expected to enter service in late 2018 – early 2019.
In compliance with the established procedure, a control launch of the glide vehicle's carrier, the UR-100N UTTKh missile, is expected to be carried out before the hypersonic system is accepted for service. However, considering the successful previous launches of the glide vehicle itself and the existence of the reliable and already tested missile, possibly no such a launch will be conducted," the source said.
Avangard hypersonic system
The Avangard is a strategic intercontinental ballistic missile system equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle. According to open sources, the 'breakthrough' weapon was developed by the Research and Production Association of Machine-Building (the town of Reutov, the Moscow Region) and was tested from 2004. The glide vehicle is capable of flying at hypersonic speed in the dense layers of the atmosphere, maneuvering by its flight path and its altitude and breaching any anti-missile defense.
The new weapon was unveiled by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his State of the Nation address to the Federal Assembly on March 1. Later, the Russian leader said during his annual Q&A session on June 7 that "the Avangard system is already in the process of its manufacture and has entered its serial production and in 2019 we are planning to deliver it to the Armed Forces."
The UR-100N UTTKh (SS-19 Stiletto) is a heavy upgrade of the UR-100 missile complex developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s by the Design Bureau-52 led by Vladimir Chelomei. It was accepted for service in 1980. Currently, Russia's Strategic Missile Force operates 30 silo-based missiles of this type, according to open sources. The missile has a takeoff weight of about 100 tonnes and a throw weight of around 4.5 tonnes.

An excellent and quite revealing article on the advanced Russian Federation defense projects, all done at minimal cost and maximum effectiveness. I would bet that the Russian Federation has already rolled out a group of these operationally in a small quantity and already deployed them. Their usual practice is to announce their deployment to be long after they are already deployed such devices in small initial numbers. What nobody wants to discuss is the Russian Federation's development and current deployment of hunter/killer mini-drone sub chasers that stalk US subs and the subs of other nations, nuclear powered, they run under the subs and are electronically cloaked. Guess what happens if war breaks out. Nor does Janes or anyone else want to discuss the Russian Federation's supersonic torpedoes. Their first high speed torpedoes injected gas out the nose at high pressure to create a bubble of gas to move through. Their new ones use quantum anti-gravity means projected ahead to pass into and through the water molecules and can thus truly attain supersonic speeds in combat situations like some back-engineered UFOs. Bet that the USN is hard at work trying to catch up now. But first, they have to get all their bad fire control panels with back doors replaced by American made boards, a slow difficult task. These foreign manufactured boards and CPU's have so many secret back doors it is a major defense risk as pointed out by VT's own Mike Harris, the VT Financial Editor.

48% of Hawaiʻi families with children report food insecurity
Lisa M Shirota, (808) 956-7352
Communications Director, Social Sciences, Dean's Office
Link to sound (details below): http://go.hawaii.edu/JsV
Recent developments, trends and how to address food insecurity for Hawaiʻi families with children is the subject of a recent study led by a team of researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's College of Social Sciences as part of its Health Policy Initiative. According to the "Addressing Hunger and Food Insecurity among Hawaiʻi's Families" report, sustained intervention and system-level changes will be key.
Food insecure households are defined as those lacking enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The UH study finds that 48% of Hawaiʻi families with children are experiencing food insecurity, with 15% reporting that they did not have enough food in the past week.
These impacts have been greater for low-income families, those with less formal education, certain racial/ethnic groups, and families who live in rural areas. About 76% of families who had reported very low food security had lost employment income due to COVID-19.
UH's "Addressing Hunger and Food Insecurity among Hawaiʻi's Families," analyzed Pulse surveys by the U.S. Census Bureau, with a sample of 700-900 people in the state every two weeks; interviews with local stakeholders; and archival data from the Hawaiʻi Department of Human Services.
Six primary barriers to accessing services and food security were identified. They are:
A lack of public awareness of available services.
The stigma and embarrassment associated with needing assistance.
The differing needs and contexts by impacted families, resulting in an ineffective one-size-fits-all approach to services.
Transportation barriers.
Housing insecurity.
The lack of a coordinated statewide plan for addressing food insecurity.
The report acknowledges that local efforts have increased to address these issues through benefits programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer); prepared meals programs that include free or reduced-price school meals; and emergency solutions including food banks and food distributions. However, despite this expansion of services, data suggest that many food insecure families are still in need.
"Efforts addressing food insecurity have been greatly expanded since last March, yet the need is still increasing," said Anna Pruitt in the Department of Psychology. "Great and effective work is being done, but it's not enough, and that is concerning."
The researchers' suggested recommendations include:
Developing more tailored approaches to food insecurity and needs. For example, families living unsheltered or in unstable housing may need access to shelf food and delivery of prepared meals; rural families may require transportation assistance or delivery services; and hard-to-reach populations and areas may benefit from mobile outreach to families in unstable housing situations.
Addressing housing insecurity and transportation barriers. With the recognition of an overlap between food and housing insecurity, food insecurity cannot be solved without also addressing housing insecurity and homelessness. In addition to difficulties storing food, housing insecure families may struggle to secure benefits for which they qualify. In addition, since transportation was an issue for many families experiencing food insecurity, more widespread outreach and service delivery programs are required.
Enhancing long-term, systems-level solutions and community-based approaches. Communities have existing strengths on which to build, such as community-based food systems creating regional markets that shorten the distance between consumer and farmer. For example, the Double Up Food Bucks program, which doubles the value of SNAP benefits, could be enhanced since it benefits both SNAP recipients and local farmers affected by the pandemic.
Considering more flexibility and adaptations in policies. Given that more people are in need than are receiving services, long-held practices should be reviewed. For example, in-person interviews have long been cited as a barrier to accessing SNAP benefits for families with childcare and transportation challenges. Policies should be evaluated based on current needs and not necessarily held to historical practice.
The full 17-page report also includes specific recommendations for policymakers and programs/service systems.

"Addressing Hunger and Food Insecurity among Hawaiʻi's Families" is presented by the College of Social Sciences at UH Mānoa, in partnership with First Insurance Company of Hawaiʻi. It is part of the Social Sciences Effect series, which is aimed toward solving Hawaiʻi's most urgent societal challenges through bold, collaborative action.

"There's a lot of great work being done, a lot of great programs in existence. But what we're seeing in our data is that there are a lot of barriers for some families to access these services."
"We see that there's been a steady increase in food insecurity among Hawaiʻi's families. We see peaks right after some of the economic shutdowns so we saw peaks in May, June and December."

How did Tom Hendrix, who served 30 months in a federal prison for hiring someone to commit a murder, get a $68,000 job as a Cook County Hospital administrator? Why do people who are heavily involved in Cook County Commissioner Roberto Maldonado's 26th Ward Democratic Organization have such lucrative jobs in county government? Why are Cook County workers who refuse to work on elections of county officials penalized by being placed on tough shifts?
The patronage issues that have dogged Chicago's City Hall -- "clout" lists that encourage the hiring or promotions of people with political connections -- are now creating controversy at the Cook County government. Sun-Times reporters Abdon M. Pallasch and Steve Patterson obtained a 1998 list of county employees that was apparently updated and maintained by people working for Maldonado. The list contains comments about who should be granted favoritism and who shouldn't, for example: "Refused to work on election day. Placed on tough shift" or "Will help him after election."
Interviews with county employees show some on the list actively campaigned for Maldonado. A Cook County court clerk employee said Maldonado "gave me the job," and she canvassed voters on his behalf. The list includes names of key coordinators in Maldonado's campaigns, including ex-con Hendrix. Maldonado says he knows people on the list but denies knowledge of the list itself: "Even if I think it, I'd never do that." Well, someone at Cook County was blatantly directing employees to do it.
Even if Maldonado did not know about the list -- "I have no clout," he says -- it appears that some of his hires and those of other county officials fly in the face of the Shakman decree meant to prevent flagrant patronage for non-policy jobs in local government.
Attorney Michael Shakman, whose attempts to open up local government jobs to non-political hires resulted in the Shakman decree, says a judge should review Cook County hiring practices given the indictments of city officials charged with fraudulently flouting the anti-patronage law. He is right. With a $3 billion budget and 25,000 jobs, there is a lot of latitude for questionable hiring at Cook County government. The issues raised by the Sun-Times story need immediate scrutiny.
The federal investigation into the Hired Truck program is leading to bigger names. Former city Water Department official Donald Tomczak pleaded guilty Friday and has told the feds that Victor Reyes, Mayor Daley's former patronage chief and head of the Hispanic Democratic Organization, directed him where to allocate city workers for political campaigns.
It's too bad it has been left up to the federal government to ferret out corruption at City Hall. It looks like an equally unfortunate remedy may also be needed at the county level.

Umalusi green-lights 2018 matric results release, notes irregularities
The national senior certificate examinations have been given the thumbs up by quality assurance body, Umalusi.
Briefing the media in Pretoria on Friday, Umalusi Council Chairperson John Volmink gave the Basic Education Department (DBE) and other assessment bodies the greenlight to release the results next week.
"Having studied all the evidence at hand on the management and conduct of the National Senior Certificate examinations administered by the Department of Basic Education, Umalusi is satisfied that apart from instances of irregularities, there are no systemic irregularities reported that may have compromised the overall integrity and credibility of the November 2018 NSC examination," said Volmink.

Although Umalusi approved the release of the department's results, it did so on condition that the department block the results of candidates implicated in irregularities, including the Engineering Science N3 results of the centres where the 13 implicated candidates are registered.
The release of results of the implicated centres that did not submit evidence of the Internal Continuous Assessment (ICASS) will also be blocked pending the outcome of further investigations and verification by the Higher Education Department and Umalusi.
The class of 2018, is the 5th cohort to write the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) which is the strengthening of NSC.
This year, 629 141 full time and 167 401 part time pupils sat down for the NSC examinations with the department.
A total of 12 372 pupils sat for exams with the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) and 2415 with South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SAICA).
Umalusi commended the assessment bodies for conducting successful and credible examinations.
Reflecting on the quality of question papers submitted for approval, Volmink said they are satisfied that there was an improvement in the quality of question papers.
Although Umalusi commended improvement in quality and no adjustments were made in subjects such as Maths, Life Sciences and Physics, a cause for concern was highlighted with Geography.
"Geography hasn't turned a corner like the other subjects, we saw a downward trend. Learners seem to have a problem with map work, errors in the question paper, the glossary of terms if you don't use English or Afrikaans can also prove to be a problem," said Volmink.
2018 matric results release date
Umalusi CEO Mafu Rakometsi appealed for a delay in the release of the results in future to allow adequate time to process and check the results.
"It is our view that the release of results at the beginning of the year places pressure on various stakeholders to complete work in a short period of time. It would benefit the sector to release the results at a later stage," he said.
The NSC results will be released on January 4, 2019, while the 2018 Independent Examination Board matric results will be made public on January 3.
Irregularities noted in Gauteng and Eastern Cape
While no exam papers were leaked this year, Umalusi said there were several irregularities, particularly in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.
In an incident in Gauteng, a school principal gave some of his pupils answers to questions in a Geography paper.
Volmink said Umalusi had agreed that the pupils affected be given the opportunity to rewrite the exam.
Concluding the briefing, Volmink urged those who did not make it to try again next year.
"To those who did not succeed this year, I want to say there is another chance next year so please do not give up, work hard and you will do better next year," he said. –SAnews.gov.

NVIDIA Officially Unveils Tegra K1 Mobile Architecture with 192-Core GPU
Thread starter dgstorm
dgstorm
NVIDIA had a rough year last year struggling to compete with Qualcomm's monster successes in the mobile world. This year they are coming out with guns blazing though. Late yesterday they had a pre-CES event in which they announced their new Tegra K1 mobile architecture. It's not the Tegra 5, which will come later, but is more of a jump-start bridge to hit the ground running fast and hard this year. The new Tegra K1 boasts some very impressive advances, including a new 192-core GPU. The CPU for this architecture will come in two flavors: one is a 32-bit four-plus-one core using a Cortex A15 CPU, and the other is a 64-bit dual-core processor using an ARMv8 CPU.
The GPU is being touted as the "fastest on the planet," and boasts speeds that are 1.5 times that of current mobile GPU tech. It uses elements from NVIDIA's famed Kepler architecture for the desktop. Here's a press statement with more of the details,
Tegra K1 is the first mobile chip to feature the NVIDIA Kepler architecture that powers the fastest graphics card on the planet, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti. For the first time, next-generation PC gaming will now be available on mobile platforms.
Tegra K1 is offered in two pin-to-pin compatible versions - a 32-bit quad-core (4-Plus-1 ARM Cortex-A15 CPU) and a custom, NVIDIA-designed 64-bit dual Super Core CPU. This CPU (codenamed "Project Denver") delivers very high single-thread and multi-thread performance. Both versions deliver stunning graphics and visual computing capabilities powered by the 192-core NVIDIA Kepler GPU.
With Tegra K1, users will experience:
New Gaming Standards
Full support for the latest PC-class gaming technologies – including DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.4 and tessellation - enabling it to run the world's most advanced game engine, Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4
The same graphics features as next-gen gaming consoles (Xbox One, PS 4) and faster performance vs. current gen consoles (Xbox 360, PS 3)
New Creative Capabilities
Advanced computation capabilities to speed applications for computer vision and speech recognition
Support for NVIDIA CUDA – the world's most pervasive parallel computing platform – enabling computer vision, advanced imaging, speech recognition, video editing and more
New Efficiency Benchmarks
Breakthrough energy efficiency, more so than any other mobile GPU at the same power level
Kepler is the world's fastest and most energy-efficient GPU architecture, powering all 10 of the world's most energy-efficient supercomputers
It looks like NVIDIA is working hard to get back in the race. We look forward to seeing what they can come up with throughout 2014! Here's the full press release at the source link below.

Online bid for 259 residential plots in Noida to be held July 19-23
In December 2018, the Authority held online auction for the sale of land and around 440 plots across sectors 12, 31, 33, 39, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 55, 70, 72, 93B, 99, 100, 105 and 122 were to be sold.Meenakshi Sinha | TNN | June 26, 2019, 10:00 IST
NOIDA: The Noida Authority is going to hold online auction of 259 residential plots in the developed sectors from July 19 to 23. While most plots in the area have already been allotted, the ones to be auctioned are unsold/vacant till now.
Since Noida hardly has any land to sell, the auction is being seen as a means to generate revenue.
The officer on special duty, Noida Authority, Avneesh Kumar said: "Only those people or applicants who would have applied for the plots till July 8 and completed all requisite online formalities, would be eligible to take part in the auction."
In December 2018, the Authority held online auction for the sale of land and around 440 plots across sectors 12, 31, 33, 39, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 55, 70, 72, 93B, 99, 100, 105 and 122 were to be sold. This time, the auction will include some plots that were part of the previous lot but remained unsold.
While the plot sizes vary from 100 sqm to 500 sqm, the price range is from Rs 55,000 per sqm to Rs 1 lakh per sqm. While rates in Sector 44 are highest, sector 122 has the lowest price.
Applicants for the residential plot scheme had to register themselves and obtain a user identity number and password and file necessary documents details between June 17 and July 8.

Students hold record for most city citations
Authors: Danny Byers
The historical struggle in Fort Collins between college
students, notorious for having effervescent social gatherings long
through the night, and non-student residents, who prefer a calmer,
quieter atmosphere, was recently epitomized when four CSU students
living together received the dubious record in Fort Collins for the
most citations from the police.
"We have eight tickets, which is the record," said James Purvis,
CSU student and tenant of the house that has been red-flagged by
the city. "We've been labeled a public nuisance twice, two times
Derek Breier, the Associated Students of CSU's director of
community affairs, said Fort Collins has red-flagged zones, one of
which is the grid centered near Prospect Road and Constitution
Avenue. This is where Purvis resides.
Purvis said when he and his three roommates had their last
offense (two outstanding noise violation tickets in one night), the
police officers told them that they held the record for most
disturbances.
The four tenants have collectively paid more than $2,000 in
fines from their citations, an amount that has been incredibly
difficult to amass, Purvis said.
"They better chill out now, or have a grand a pop," said Breier,
adding that the Fort Collins judge just deemed that the court can
now slap a $1,000 fine on first offenses, whereas in the past it
was a stair-stepped system of incremental fines.
"My belief is the city is using it as a scare tactic for
students. It might work, but I don't think that it's the way to do
it," said Breier, who communicates student positions to City
Council on these types of issues.
With so many outstanding citations, Purvis and his roommates
expectedly ran into even more legal complications.
"The city called me and said that they were going to start an
action to evict us," Purvis said. "But I worked with them and since
we're all leaving in a few months, they said they'll let us
stay."
The police have been called to the house more than 20 times and
the majority of the time they simply say to turn down the music and
quiet everybody, Purvis said.
"We've had some cops that recognize us when they come over," he
said, adding that they usually appreciate how cooperative they are
but that two officers were rather "pissed" when they saw that the
tenant's first public-nuisance ticket was hung up on the wall.
"They were upset that we were promoting it," Purvis said. "But
we are kind of proud in a way, especially now, just because we
broke the city record."
One reason the city believes cases such as this occur and why
the Prospect and Constitution grid has such high complaints is
because many college students are breaking the three-unrelated
persons rule, Breier said. This ordinance makes it illegal for more
than three unrelated people to live in the same household, but
Breier said he thinks the rule is useless.
"On a busy day, you could throw a rock out on the student Plaza
and four out of five people you hit are violating the rule. It's
not like students are trying to break the law, but it's how we
afford living," he said.
Purvis attributed a different reason for his house's outstanding
record and problems within the community. He said his house is an
example of the fact that Fort Collins is a college town and not a
retirement party, which some unrelenting neighbors refuse to
accept. This results in older residents with an
unnecessary-but-genuine distaste for college students and call the
police on them habitually.
"These guys hate us," he said. "One neighbor, Paul, said that he
thinks we have a whorehouse because he sees women coming in all the
time, but those are our girlfriends that come over and stay with
Purvis said one particular neighbor, Victor Smith, makes
cohabitation within the community extremely difficult.
"I talked to Vic in the beginning and he basically said that he
will have zero tolerance," Purvis said.
Smith, who lives directly across from Purvis' house, has lived
there for 22 years and said people will have parties around the
block, but only in moderation, and that Purvis' house makes a
tendency of it.
"People get loud routinely in the middle of the night and it
bothers everybody," Smith said. "The noise level can be really loud
up until 3 at night."
Smith said he owns rental property and that he rents to students
and tries to be flexible. He lets them know what they can do to be
good neighbors and that he doesn't dislike living near college
students, but he wishes that the communication was more clear.
Purvis said he and his roommates never intended to disturb their
neighbors or the community, but sometimes "a night starts off with
a 30-pack and turns into four kegs." They try to cooperate and let
the neighbors know they are being responsible.
Purvis said he and his roommates will be leaving and all hope
that their next location has a better situation where they can
maintain a pleasant relationship with their neighbors without
compromising their youthful magic moments.
"Hopefully we won't get tickets any more," he said.

O Macintosh 512K Personal Computer, o segundo de uma longa linha de computadores Apple Macintosh, foi o primeiro update ao original Macintosh 128K. Era virtualmente idêntico ao anterior Mac, divergindo na quantidade de memória integrada (RAM), que quadruplicou. Esse aumento valeu-lhe a alcunha de Fat Mac (Mac Gordo). A memória adicional era significativa porque utilizadores mais ambiciosos "esticaram" as capacidades do Mac original, apesar do limitado número de aplicações.

Programas

O software MacPaint e MacWrite vinham juntamente com o Mac. Pouco depois deste modelo ser comercializado, várias outras aplicações ficaram disponíveis, incluindo MacDraw, MacProject, Macintosh Pascal, e outros. Em particular, Microsoft Excel, escrito especificamente para o Macintosh, que necessitava de um mínimo de 512KB de RAM.

Características

 Introduzido em: 10 de Setembro de 1984
 CPU: Motorola 68000
 Velocidade da CPU: 8 MHz
 Sistema Operativo: Mac OS 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.0, 4.1
 RAM: 512 KB
 Descontinuado em: 14 de Abril de 1986

Processador e memória
Tal como o Macintosh 128K anterior, o 512K tinha um processador Motorola 68000 de 8 MHz conetado a 512 KB de DRAM por um bus de dados de 16-bits. Apesar da memória ter quadruplicado, não podia ser atualizada.

Sistema
O 512K original apenas aceitava o software de sistema da Macintosh até a versão 4.1.

Tajudeen Adepetu, Nigerian showbiz promoter
Why musical concerts are declining in Nigeria- Promoter
byJayne Augoye
A showbiz promoter, Tajudeen Adepetu, has explained why musical concerts are declining in Nigeria.
He lamented the dearth of sponsors and partners for such concerts and shows in Nigeria.
Mr Adeputu, who is widely known as the owner of media brands, Sound City TV, Televista, ONTV, Trybe TV and SPICE TV, said this during a chat with Premium Times in Lagos on Friday.
"It is difficult to get brands to partner or sponsor concerts, even when you have done more than 60 or 70 per cent of the work. It is really hard, I tell you," he said.
Explaining the challenges faced by concert promoters like himself, Mr Adepetu, nudged the big brands in Nigeria to be more responsive and alive to trends in society.
"The dearth of sponsors and partners is a major challenge that the entertainment industry needs to overcome, in the area of concerts. Steadily and surely, Nigerian music has arrested the attention of the world.
"The smart brands can leverage on the increasing number of our musicians some of whom are doing it big on their own. That is not the way to go," he said.
'XChange 100'
For four days in December 2019, 'XChange 100', a consortium of event promoters led by Mr Adepetu, locked down Eko Atlantic Energy City in Lagos.
The platform, which serves as a venue for different events in the busy yuletide season had all-day lined-up events for the scheduled period of December 20-23.
The shows included 'Soundcity All-Star Party', 'The Urban Music Festival', 'Afrobeat Fest' and 'Olamide Made in Lagos Festival'.
Mr Adeputu said it was a daunting task that kept them mostly on their toes.
"You can't imagine the number of personnel and energy and money expended on a back-to-back four-day entertainment and lifestyle event like this.
"This year, only Tiger Beer gave us seed money, but I had to look for the rest myself," he said.
When the consortium birthed in 2018, only three events marked the inaugural edition.
It kicked off with a lifestyle award show tagged 'Spice Lifestyle Honours'. As the name suggests, the awards awarded major players in the lifestyle field.
Other events that marked the edition include the Urban Music Festival, Afrobeat Festival, Wizkid VIP Experience, Wizkid Made in Lagos Shutdown and the Soundcity MVP Awards.
Last year, however, saw the organisers raise the bar higher. More events were added to the festival which cost N1 billion and had only Tiger Beer as the sole and lead sponsor.
Meanwhile, inadequate sponsorship nonetheless, Mr Adeputu told this newspaper that his team would crown the events of the season with the Soundcity MVP Awards holding on Saturday at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The awards is steadily positioning itself as one of the biggest music rewarding systems in Nigeria.
Last year, Burna Boy took the concert trophy of the African Artiste of the Year.
The African Giant is in contention again for the honour against the likes of Davido, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Diamond Platnumz, Shatta Wale, Sho Madjozi and Wizkid.
Mr Adepetu added that the 2020 edition would see with performances from Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz, South Africa's Prince Kaybee, Nigeria's Wizkid, Ghana's Stonebwoy, Uganda's Big Trill and Togo's Toofan.
Others are Joeboy, Rema, Shatta Wale, Zanda Zakuza, Kuami Eugene, Naira Marley, Ric Hassani to mention a few.
Mr Adepetu has several award-winning TV series and programmes to his credit.
A memorable one was the 90's classic 'Everyday People'.
It told the story of the everyday lives of a typical family living in Lagos.
It starred stars like the late Sam Loco Efe, Norbert Young, Ignis Ekwe, Seun Soremi, Desmond Elliot, Ejiro Okurame, Juliet Martin-Obazie and many more.

A very short review of "The Meg" (2018)
September 3, 2019 Eric Robert Nolan 3 Comments
"The Meg" (2018) is an easy movie in which to find flaws. They're many, they're egregious, and they're consistently front and center. The biggest flaw for me is its truly terrible script; it's like the screenwriters weren't even trying here. (At one point we see a character simply grunt a response to another during an exchange, as though the screenwriters were too disinterested to write a line of dialogue.) The movie's other weaknesses include the occasionally spotty CGI and some head-scratching science.
With all of that said, however, I still had fun with "The Meg." (The title refers to a prehistoric shark called megalodon, which our protagonists inadvertently release from a newly discovered deep-sea trench.) I'd rate it a 6 out of 10 because it was a fun enough summertime monster movie. It's clunky stuff, but it's passably enjoyable lowbrow entertainment for fans of creature features.
I like Jason Statham too. (This is the first film I've seen him in since 2004's "Cellular.") He certainly isn't a bad actor, even if his lines in this film should have had him inwardly cringing. He's got presence and charisma.
I'm not sure I would actually recommend "The Meg," but I didn't hate it.

A review of "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019)
"Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019) is a fun enough Marvel movie; based on my own enjoyment, I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. It's got the same qualities as almost all the other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — fun, humor and great special effects housed within a remarkably well constructed shared universe. This mostly standalone adventure is definitely one of the MCU's campier outings, but I think that most viewers will find it a welcome break after the last two high-stakes, apocalyptic "Avengers" films. (You may have heard of them.)
It's also a great film to appeal to comic fans who are younger adults. The humor usually works, and the characters are nicely relatable. Peter's peers and teachers are all engaging enough on their own, and make a good group of supporting characters. I know most fans have commented how much they like Ned, and I do too — but I think the MCU's biggest improvement in this part of the mythos is the character of M.J. She is vastly different from her comic book progenitor, but in good ways. She's dry, sardonic and slightly dark, and she's extremely well played by Zendaya. I don't imagine that many fans will agree with me here, but I personally find this character to be a lot more likable and compelling than the MCU's Peter Parker.
And that brings me to my largest concern about the new "Spider-Man" films. Their version of Peter is sometimes frustrating. I don't think it's the fault of Tom Holland, who brings a nice amount of energy and personality to the role. I think it's the fault of the screenwriters, who have made the character so doltish, boyish and eager-to-please that it's occasionally annoying. He sometimes seems more like a middle school student than an advanced high school student. (Isn't he supposed to be a senior here?) The writers seem to want to counter-balance the character's high intelligence with a humanizing flaw, and they seem to want to contrast young Peter with the older, more seasoned Avengers lineup. All of that makes perfect sense, but I do think they go a little overboard.
I'm willing to go on record here and say that I prefer Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man." His trilogy between 2002 and 2007 had more heart, more devotion to heroic archetypes, and greater attention character depth and detail. (I still think that 2004's outstanding "Spider-Man 2" is one of the best comic book movies ever made.) There are advantages, too, to depicting an iconic superhero that doesn't inhabit a shared universe — you spend more time exploring the character than exploring their context in relation to others.
Still, I'd recommend "Spider-man: Far From Home." Like I said, it was a fun movie.

A review of the "Fear the Walking Dead" Season 5 premiere
June 4, 2019 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment
"Fear the Walking Dead" has devolved. It's fallen a long way from its early years as an earnest, deadly serious prequel to "The Walking Dead." (I, for one, really liked the first season's creative mix of slow-burn horror and family drama, and I loved the ambitious, milieu-exploring apocalypse-in-progress stories of subsequent seasons.) Today, we've reached the point where the show has become so slapdash and campy that you have to wonder whether its creators take it seriously at all.
I'm sorry to say this, but the Season 5 premiere felt like pretty amateurish stuff. Its writing, directing and acting (in some places) were really, really spotty. Its early action set-piece involving a plane crash, for example, was choppy, confusing and awkwardly staged. The plotting and dialogue were … poor.
Even the premiere's marketing was goofy. Its television ads seemed like an intentional self-parody — like maybe a Saturday Night Live skit lampooning zombie shows. (See below.) The poster is a mess too — even if the center image's suggestion that John Dorie is a gunslinging Christ figure is pretty damned nifty.
With all of this said, it may surprise you that I still liked the episode well enough, and I'll still watch the show. I'd rate the premiere a 7 out of 10, because "Fear the Walking Dead" still has its merits. I can think of three reasons in particular why I still had fun with the premiere, and why I'll still tune in next Sunday.
First, some of the characters are terrific. I'll always love Victor Strand (Colman Domingo). I really like Dorie (Garret Dillahunt) and his mild-mannered girlfriend, June (Jenna Elfman), and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) is the kind of child character that typically grows on me. (Let's hope Dorie's posture in the poster isn't a hint about his death.) I still like Morgan, because Lennie James is always a pleasure to watch, even if I don't share the immense zeal of his legions of fans. (The writers need to do more with him beyond his weird, vaguely "Kung Fu," born-again altruism. I know he's supposed to be the Eastern philosophy guy, but his dialogue sometimes makes him come off like a stereotypical, nattering Evangelical.)
The second reason I'll stay with this show is that its stories move along quickly. There are no static, Negan-centered endless epics here, like there are on this show's plodding progenitor.
The third reason is this — "Fear the Walking Dead" has always hatched the most creative story ideas. Whatever problems the show might have developed over time with character, dialogue or plot details, the basic story concepts have always been really damned inventive. (They consistently offer much more than "The Walking Dead's" two boiler-plate plot arcs — group-vs.-group or refuge-with-a-hidden-danger.) This season looks like it will be no exception. There are two major reveals in this episode's closing minutes. One connects Season 5 with past seasons of "Fear the Walking Dead," while another is a tantalizing hint about greater forces in the "Walking Dead" universe.
Oh! One more thing! There is an important new character here played by the terrific Matt Frewer. If you're a true zombie horror fan, then you'll recognize him as none other than Frank, from Zack Snyder's superb, unfairly reviled 2004 "Dawn of the Dead" remake. And if you're an 80's kid like I am, then you might remember him as the original Max Headroom — from both the Coca-Cola ads and excellent but short-lived 1987 sci-fi series. That's some pretty fun casting — and the guy is a really good actor.
