Helmet sensor technology business created by WMU team honored for innovation
Contact: Erin Flynn

PORTAGE, Mich.—A company started by a Western Michigan University professor and his students is receiving statewide recognition. SafeSense Technologies LLC was one of just 12 companies named a 2019 SmartZone Best Small Business Honoree at the annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business Awards in East Lansing.
"The award demonstrates that early stage emerging companies can succeed with the help of the Michigan Small Business Development Center tech team and the larger ecosystem as a whole," says Dr. Binu Baby Narakathu, a WMU alumnus and co-founder and president of SafeSense Technologies LLC.
According to a letter from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, SafeSense was selected by its local SmartZone for demonstrating "growth through technology commercialization and success with innovation."
"SafeSense demonstrates exactly what WMU is trying to do from a tech transfer standpoint," says Steve Tokarz, a mentor-in-residence at the University. He has been helping guide the company's success outside WMU through the University's Technology and Innovation Advancement office.
SafeSense is an outgrowth of the substantial research conducted at WMU that results in new findings, developments and discoveries that hold the power to benefit society. The transfer of these discoveries to the commercial sector is coordinated through Technology and Innovation Advancement.
Narakathu and a colleague work on technology in the lab.
SafeSense--housed in the WMed Innovation Center--launched in 2014, but it was born in a WMU engineering lab years earlier. Narakathu was a doctoral student at the time. He and three other students worked with faculty advisor and company co-founder Dr. Massood Atashbar, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, to develop technology that, when incorporated in a football helmet, could measure the location and intensity of blows to the head. At a time when football concussions were beginning to make headlines, the concept quickly garnered interest.
"At this point, SafeSense has developed prototypes, performed field tests, formed a strategic partnership and is anticipating product launch," Narakathu says. "Growing the company to its current position and receiving the SmartZone award demonstrates industry acceptance--the first big step toward revenue."
The sensors have potential for more than just injury detection. They have the ability to enhance sports performance, as well.
"Recently a ruling came out to limit the number of hits high school football players can get at practice. But what type of hits are we limiting? What's the number of hits they see? And when they hit, are they doing it correctly?" asks Tokarz, who says coaches and trainers can use these sensors to detect dangerous habits in players and correct them. "If you're learning how to hit the correct way in practice, you're going to play better and safer during the real game."
SafeSense is on track to begin commercially marketing its sensor system for helmets in 2020. Tokarz says the company is looking at the possibility of expanding its sensor technology into other arenas and also is actively seeking collaborative opportunities.

The Rio–São Paulo High-Speed Rail (; Abbreviation: TAV RJ-SP) is a planned high-speed rail project to connect São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.  While originally planned to be operational by 2014 in time for the 20th FIFA World Cup, to be held in Brazil at a cost of $9 billion, as of May 2015 formal bidding for the project had yet to start, with the Brazilian government delaying the auction by "at least" one year in August 2013, pushing back hopes of completion to at least the 2020s.

In 2023, TAV Brasil received authorization for the planning, construction and operation of the new high-speed line, with a redesigned project, removing the São Paulo-Campinas branch and airport stations from the project and moving the São Paulo and Rio stations from the city center.

Project history
The original project, named Expresso Bandeirantes, was to build a high-speed rail line between São Paulo and Campinas. The project was canceled in 2007 because the Brazilian government concluded that it was more viable to connect Campinas, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro with a single line  long.

On December 7, 2009, the federal government announced the scoring criteria for bids, with 70% for the cost of building the project and 30% for ticket pricing.

On July 2, 2010, it was announced that the line is now not expected to open before late 2016. It is hoped that the joint-venture, comprising the government and winning consortium, will be created during 2011.

On early April, 2011, the government relented to requests from interested consortia to postpone the bid. The argument of the foreign technology suppliers was that they hadn't found interested construction contractors yet. It was then rescheduled for July 29.

On July 29, 2011, no consortium submitted a proposal in the ceremony of bidding envelopes delivery. Only the foreign technology suppliers attended the event arguing that no Brazilian contractor showed interest in investing in the project of construction of the railroad, a condition of bidding documents. The government then declared not to have given up on the project, with intentions to launch a new call for bids. This time the intention was to divide the bid into two parts: one for choosing the supplier of technology and one for choosing the railway constructors.

On December 17, 2011, the government announced the completion of the new invitation for bids. The filing date of the new document was set for January 10, 2012, but again delayed in August 2013. There is still no date set for the new bidding session.

In 2020, Governor of Rio de Janeiro Wilson Witzel stated that he's willing to resume the planning for the high-speed service soon. Later in March, Hyperloop TT announced that the company has plans to implement a hyperloop railway line in Brazil, which may replace the current high-speed train and connect São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in 25 minutes.

Route

São Paulo–Campinas route
The proposed bullet train project was presented to the city by Helio de Oliveira Santos (PDT), mayor of Campinas, in Brasília, to be built by the Japanese consortium within five years (ready for the World Cup in 2014). Campinas is ahead in the construction because it is the first city to pave the way for the train by completing its new Multimodal Passenger Terminal in June 2008. However, the tendering procedures would not begin until February 2009, when over 28 major world manufacturers participated in a contest for related projects. The Japanese consortium presented its proposal based on the Shinkansen, which carried 340 million passengers the previous year on 2100 km of track. It is made up of the Japanese companies Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Toshiba. The consortium has already submitted a preliminary proposal in Brasília and São Paulo and Rio for interested entrepreneurs.

The preliminary proposal is for five different types of rail service in which the trains would travel at speeds of up to 320 km/h. There would be three express services and two slower ones, each hourly, carrying up to 3,000 passengers. However, the competition for the building includes manufacturers from Spain, South Korea, Italy, France, Germany, Japan and China.

Rio–São Paulo route
The first stretch of high-speed train line in Brazil will be between its main cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The distance of 412 km between the two city terminals: Campo de Marte in São Paulo and the Barão de Mauá station in Rio de Janeiro will be covered in one hour and twenty-five minutes at a maximum speed of 360 km/h.

It is tentatively planned that the trains will have a capacity of 855 passengers at a headway of 15 minutes. The fare will be around R$150 to R$250 per passenger in the off-peak hours. There are several projects presented to the Brazilian government. One is the Italian design company's Italplan Engineering Environment & Transport Srl, whose proposal envisaged the high-speed train starting operations in 2015. If this target date had been met it would have served as a quick and vital link to São Paulo in time for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Estimated cost: R$ 50 billion (US$ 9.73 billion)

Other connecting lines
On May 13, 2008, it was reported that a high-speed line between Belo Horizonte and Curitiba would be included in the National Transport Plan. It would link Belo Horizonte, Divinópolis, Varginha and Pocos de Caldas (all in the state of Minas Gerais); Campinas, São Paulo, Sorocaba, Itapetininga and Apiaí (all in the state of São Paulo); and Curitiba (in the state of Paraná). The line would be around 1,150 kilometres long, about twice the length of the line between Rio de Janeiro and Campinas. The resultant network, centred on São Paulo, would serve an area containing more than half of Brazil's economic output and population. The line is scheduled to be built after the completion of the line between Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Campinas.

Khashoggi family forgives those who killed their father
Journalist Jamal Khashoggi poses at an event in Istanbul, Turkey in a photo dated May 6, 2018. Saudi state media confirmed Khashoggi's death, but details remain fuzzy.
RIYADH (RAHNUMA): The family of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi said that they have forgiven those who killed their father, his son Salah wrote in a tweet on Friday.
"On this virtuous night of this holy month, we recall what God Almighty said in his holy book: "The repayment of bad actions, is one equivalent to it, But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with God. He does not love the unjust."
"Thus, we, sons of the martyr Jamal Khashoggi, announce that we forgive those who killed our father – may he rest in peace – for the sake of God Almighty, hopefully seeking reward with the Almighty," he said.
In Islamic tradition, it is common for acts of forgiveness and good-will gestures to take place during Ramadan, particularly during the last ten days. It should be noted however, that as per Saudi law the announcement made by Khashoggi's sons may only spare those sentenced to death from being executed, but it doesn't reverse the conviction nor means that the killers will be not be punished.
Khashoggi was killed in October 2018 when he visited the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
In December 2019, five people were sentenced to death and three others were given jail terms for the murder.
The three defendants given prison terms totalling 24 years were found guilty "for their role in covering up this crime and violating the law."
Shalaan Al-Shalaan, the Saudi deputy public prosecutor and spokesman, said the investigations proved there was no "prior enmity" between those convicted and Khashoggi.
"The investigation showed that the killing was not premeditated … The decision was taken at the spur of the moment," he said.
Salah Khashoggi expresed his faith in the Saudi judicial system after the ruling and denouncing those who politicize his father's case.
"My father never tolerated any abuse or attempt to harm (the Kingdom), and I will not accept his memory or his cause being taken advantage of to achieve that," Salah said.

Synopsis
It is quite the opposite to its prequel. In this season, Asavari (Nivedita Joshi-Saraf) shows an established businesswoman. Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak) that he handles the domestic work. Shubhra (Uma Pendharkar) will be a housewife who has a son. Soham (Adwait Dadarkar) is likely to be the right hand of Asavari.

She has now become disciplined and follows strict principles and rules. Abhijeet (Girish Oak) has closed down Abhi's Kitchen and has now become a house-husband. Soham (Adwait Dadarkar) have taken a job in Asavari's company as second in command. He secretly dislikes Asavari's due to her strong and changed behaviour. Soham and Shubhra (Uma Pendharkar) have a son named Shubham (Babdu). He turns out to become a spoilt brat as Soham gives bad teachings and influences to him and hence, Shubham misbehaves with Shubhra and takes her for granted.

Due to Shubham's responsibilities, Shubhra leaves her job and becomes a homemaker. During her pregnancy, her parents die which downs her morale and hence makes her shy and sensitive towards her family. Shubhra feels down due to Shubham's misbehaving with her. Soham also loses interest in Shubhra and starts an affair with his secretary Suzanne. Also, he secretly signs all reject deals by Asavari for his own profits. Asavari gives ultimatum to Shubhra to make Shubham mend his ways. Asavari foresees her past life in Shubhra and hence decides to make Shubhra independent and strong once again and make her a part of her company. Abhijeet learns about Soham's extra-marital affair with Suzanne and hence warns him. Soham breaks up with her when she misbehaved with him due to some reason but due to jealousy, he patches up with her and berates Shubhra.

Shubhra learns about Soham's affair on their wedding anniversary and confronts Suzanne, but she in turn misguides her about Soham. Shubhra confronts Soham and reveals the entire truth about having affair both-sided, but Shubhra trusts Suzanne's fake truth over Soham and asks Asavari to interfere. Suzanne ditches Shubhra in front of Asavari to deteriorate her image. Shubhra reveals all to Abhijeet and seeks help. Soham makes a scam and blame Maddy and later a worker. Shubhra interferes but gets insulted by Soham and Suzanne about her and Babdu's cost of living. Hence, Shubhra set out to recreate her identity to become independent and start working again. Meanwhile, Anurag Gokhale enter Shubhra's life when she was about to commit suicide. He tells Shubhra to live a life for herself and Babdu.

Shubhra gathers courage and questions Soham about it and asks Soham to end his relationship with Suzanne and gives him an ultimatum. Soham in the fear of Asavari fakes his breakup with Suzanne. Abhijeet learns of this and makes Shubhra aware of Soham's cheat. Shubhra decides to teach a lesson to Soham and Suzanne. Suzanne tries to gains Asavari's sympathy and confidence. On Asavari's insistence, Shubhra joins D.B.K. Company with a post equivalent to Soham. This move angers Soham and Suzanne. Suzanne tries to create a difference between Babdu and Shubhra with miserably fails. Soham gets jealous of Shubhra's friendship with Anurag and blames her character for which she retaliates and gives him a warning.

Meanwhile, Suzanne creates a fake situation and enters the Kulkarni house which angers Shubhra and Abhijeet. They both learn about Suzanne's possessive nature to get herself married with Soham. Abhijeet and Shubhra make her life troublesome by asking to do the work of housewife. Shubhra slowly starts to learn about Soham's evil deeds in the company and his black money. Shubhra asks Soham to mend his ways or else she will register a police complaint and would reveal the truth to Asavari which would lead to Soham's bankruptcy and his permanent exit from Kulkarni House.

On the occasion of Vat Pournima, Soham and Suzanne's extra-marital affair gets exposed in front of Asavari. She expels the duo for cheating Shubhra. Soham also rebels and disrespect's Asavari, Abhijeet and Shubhra. Aajoba learns about Soham's expelled and asks Asavari to change her decision by fasting which eventually degrades his health. Soham gets agitated by Asavari's actions and asks her to transfer her part of share and ownership on his accounts in order to return to Kulkarni's house for Aajoba. Soham returns and reveals his affair to Aajoba to which he retaliates. Soham is asked to end his relationship with Suzanne and return to Shubhra, but he fakes his relationship with Shubhra in front of Aajoba to seek the wealth. Soham takes in charge of the D.B.K.

Q: Optimising JavaScript for an exercise on Codewars I'm currently working on my JavaScript by doing exercises on Codewars.com.
I've been doing OK but I've come across this question and I can't figure out a way to optimize it.
Here is the question:
Sum of Pairs
Given a list of integers and a single sum value, return the first two values (parse from the left please) in order of appearance that add up to form the sum.
sum_pairs([0, 0, -2, 3], 2)
#  there are no pairs of values that can be added to produce 2.
== None/nil/undefined (Based on the language)

sum_pairs([10, 5, 2, 3, 7, 5],         10)
#              ^-----------^   5 + 5 = 10, indices: 1, 5
#                    ^--^      3 + 7 = 10, indices: 3, 4 *
#  * entire pair is earlier, and therefore is the correct answer
== [3, 7]

NOTE: There will also be lists tested of lengths upwards of 10,000,000 elements. Be sure your code doesn't time out.

It's simple enough and my solution works, but times out after 12 seconds on the 10,000,000 elements test.
My solution:
function sum_pairs(numArray, num){
  var nums = numArray;
  var sum = num;
  var resultsArray = [];
  var result;

  for(var i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
    for(var j = i+1; j < nums.length; j++){
      if(nums[i] + nums[j] == sum){
        resultsArray.push({resArray: [nums[i],nums[j]], weight: j});
      }
    }
  }

  if(resultsArray.length != 0){
  var result = resultsArray.pop();
    for(var i = 0; i < resultsArray.length; i++){
      if(result.weight > resultsArray[i].weight){
        result = resultsArray[i];
      }
    }
    result = result.resArray;
  }

  return result;

}

Question:
How to optimize this code so that it doesn't time out.
I'm just a beginner programming wise and I'm unsure what part(s) of my solution causes slowdown.
I'm about to read up on Big O notation now, any other resources for learning about code optimization?

A: For example [a,b,c,d,e]
Instead of taking a and testing against the right side (b,c,d,e)
[a,b,c,d,e]
 i j j j j
   i j j j
     i j j
       i j

Start at b and test against the left side (a)
[a,b,c,d,e]
 j i
 j j i
 j j j i
 j j j j i

This way the first match you find is the one you want, and you can return without having to loop through the whole array.

Growing calls for release guidelines on market-moving vaccine data
There are currently no formal rules governing the way pharmaceutical companies disseminate market-moving clinical trial results
By Julia Bradshaw 23 November 2020 • 5:00am
Covid vaccine trial data are shifting markets in a big way
Pressure is growing for clear guidelines over the publication of market-moving information around vaccine trials, after Moderna data was briefed out ahead of its official release.
Moderna and Pfizer caused massive share price surges across stock markets earlier this month when they each announced that they were close to launching a vaccine for coronavirus.
There are no formal rules governing the way either publicly listed or privately-owned pharmaceutical companies disseminate clinical trial results.
At present data could be published in a science journal for peer review, unveiled at a conference, or published through the market's regulatory news service (RNS).
However, one chief executive of a large, listed healthcare company said while different companies take different approaches, market-shifting data should first be made public through the RNS.
"Generally while data can be hugely important for a specific company, it is not market-moving. But with Covid vaccines, there has never been clinical trial data with more potential to shift markets than the vaccine data we have just seen," he said.
"The nature of that data is analogous to central bank interest rate decisions. This is a unique situation and raises interesting questions."
Andrew Pollard, chief investigator of the global clinical trials of the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, told journalists last week that, when ready, information on a Covid vaccine's efficacy should be released to markets before they open. One City analyst who covers the sector, said: "If you are a public company I would expect material information on trials to be released on the RNS first.
"I would not expect a publicly-listed company would release any such information without significant reason to do so beyond the initial release on the RNS, and that as few people as possible would know about it before wider release.
"I would not expect it to be on a website first, before markets open. Anything else would challenge the protocol." He said he was surprised at the approach taken by Moderna to release its vaccine trial data under embargo to a number of journalists and on its website.
"It opens up possibilities that aren't necessary," he said.
There is no suggestion Moderna broke any rules.
The analyst added that pharmaceutical companies are still getting to grips with the sudden interest the sector has generated since the coronavirus outbreak.
He said the sector is not used to having to act as quickly as it is now and to being in the limelight all the time.
"Science generally doesn't do fast, I have been astonished at the pace it has moved.
"Typically science goes at a pretty ponderous rate, but now it is moving at a rate I've never seen before.
"Covid has demonstrated that in order to move fast you have to act more quickly than the traditional timing process, releasing lots of data as you get it, and that is not something the industry is used to."

Virtual private server (VPS) is a marketing term used by Internet hosting services to refer to a virtual machine for use exclusively by an individual customer of the service. The term is used to emphasize that the virtual machine, although running in software on the same physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, is functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer. and can be configured to run as a server computer (i.e. to run server software). The term Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS is used less often for the same concept.
So you need a VPS server For your website but not sure where to go? Indeed, there're lots of hosting companies offering VPS service and the service/price are various, it's really a hard job to find the one most suitable for you. Based our editorial experience from multiple providers, we picked the following VPS hosting service which is perfect for both service & performance.
An INC500™ Company. The arvixe VPS server is pre-configured and ready to use for business purpose, means we don't have to install the popular programs by ourselves. If you're not familiar with server management, you can take advantages of cpanel and websitepanel directly since it's offered as default. Arvixe VPS hosting is setup for both linux and windows OS.
The most reputable business hosting solution provider for its advanced server & network setup. Inmotion Hosting VPS comes with rich features and affordable price with all VPS management tools included. If you're going to setup a complex and big size cart site like Magento commerce site, Inmotion is simply the best.
Unlike any other vps platform, bluehost provides instant provisioning service for VPS registering. Everything is cloud based, either OS or control panel or storage service. Bluehost programmed everything based their huge and powerful data center solution.
Myhosting is one of the earliest web hosting providers who offers leading services in Canada. Myhosting is also the only VPS hosting provider on the globe who can offer custom vps server plan. There we can select how much server resource we're going to use exactly. In this way we will not pay extra to the service like from most server providers, We can choose personal or business use configurations and make sure the best performance.
High performance The main advantage of VPS is performance. Each vps server is running independent so you can take full advantage of the server memory/CPU and all other resources without any limitation.
Low cost server solution VPS is actually working the same as a dedicated server except the hardware aspects. Each server has its own share of CPU, memory and bandwidth allocation and capable of doing multiple tasks concurrrently. It's perfect choice when you have to run some Apps on different machines.
Full customizable The users can install their own software in their virtual server. In case we're in need of further resources, it can be added on the fly with no downtime.
Enhanced Security If you're concerned to the utmost about the safety and security of your data, you're also going to want to go ahead and upgrade to a virtual private optionA virtualization of your hosting experience removes any and all shared joints between you and other users.
So, what kind of technologies used to configure a VPS? VMware is the most user friendly GUI VPS software, just like commons software on your computer, you run another system inside your computer. Parallels is another famous VPS solution provider, their commercial release Virtuozzo has best performance for running VPS server, OpenVZ is their open source edition used under Linux. The last one is called Xen, it's already deployed to the main popular Linux distribution and perform an important role in VPS field.
Many of us come to the stage when shared hosting simply just not enough to fulfill the web presence needs. Most of the VPS providers offer various types of packages and each one of the packages can be easily upgraded with its processing power, RAM and the Hard Drive space. All of these factors are managed by Virtualization software installed on the dedicated server machine.
If you are choosing the VPS from one the popular providers you will definitely be ok with no lack of functionality. You need to pay attention to the company's downtime. Everybody out there will give you 99.9% uptime, but in reality everyone experience downtime related to various external factors. Best VPS providers here are well trusted and they earned to be on our list because of positive customers feedback on various web forums.
Except for price, you might also wonder what kind VPS will be best choice for your website requirements. Normally, if you need to host a windows application, you need a windows VPS hosting plan instead Linux. You will also note there're several bucks mor for windows choice because the licensed OS from Microsoft.
For decent VPS hosting service, don't just pay attention to the cheap, such VPS server is only good for practice purpose before you host your business site. To host your monetary site safely, it's suggested to get a decent VPS server for reasonable price.


I have a walk-in corner pantry in my kitchen. I love having the extra storage space, but I find it's the one area of my house that's very easy to get messy and unorganized.
For such a small space, it get's a lot of traffic. Every day, I'm in there digging something out, throwing something in the recycling bin or the trash can. And at least twice a week I'm unloading more things into it. So with all this activity, it's no wonder things get unorganized.
But if it's one thing I've learned, it's that a poorly planned out area will quickly and constantly become unorganized and messy. So this week I decided to take on the pantry and get it organized once and for all.
Here are some tips and tricks that you can use as well to utilize your pantry space, keep it neat and organized, saving you time and money.
Don't forget, if you have a great idea that would add to this, I'd love to hear it, so leave me a comment below.

Reserved Seating Director Spotlight: Spike Lee
by Adam Riske and Rob DiCristino
The review duo who are checking off their Spike Lee filmography blind spots.
Adam: Welcome to Reserved Seating. I'm Adam Riske.
Rob: And I'm Rob DiCristino.
Adam: In celebration of Spike Lee's first nomination for Best Director at the Academy Awards (it's about time), Rob and I decided to pick out six films from his filmography to discuss in this week's Reserved Seating. The stipulation was they had to be movies of his that either Rob or I or both of us have never seen. The six we picked are 4 Little Girls, Clockers, Crooklyn, Mo' Better Blues, She Hate Me and She's Gotta Have It. Being that She's Gotta Have It was Lee's feature film debut, that's where we'll begin.
She's Gotta Have It was one of my blind spots. Viewing it in 2019, it worked for me more as a curiosity than as a movie. What I appreciated most was Lee's technique and filmmaking prowess. Right from the beginning, you could tell that he's a born filmmaker. I also have an opinion that he's a very musical director (in that his films often use music and or dancing to forward a story on an emotional level or set a mood), and my favorite scene in She's Gotta Have It reinforced that. It's a break in the middle where the black & white film switches to color and we see two dancers performing in a park for two of the lead characters. The direction of the scene (and Ernest Dickerson's beautiful cinematography) elevated the movie for me for a few minutes.
Overall, I wasn't disappointed by She's Gotta Have It, but I'd be lying if I said I liked the movie all that much. It was interesting to see where Spike Lee started, but it was hard to go from the feast that most of his movies are to something less realized. My biggest gripe with She's Gotta Have It is that his characters have very little inner life or dialogue about anything other than sex. It's fine that the movie is about sex, but it's hard for me to care about characters who only talk about sex. Feel free to disagree, but listening to other people talk about their sex lives feels like hearing about someone else's dreams or fantasy football results. It's more for them than for me. Sex is a topic Lee has tackled multiple times in his career to varying degrees of success (probably best in Jungle Fever, because it was about the relationships and other people's reaction to them). She's Gotta Have It is somewhere in the middle of that pack. It's not where he's most interesting for me.
Rob: This was my second viewing of She's Gotta Have It, and I think I'm a bigger fan of the film than you are. It's more style than heart, sure, but it's so much style! It's bursting at the seams with vitality and creativity, with the voice of a young filmmaker with more syllables than he knows what to do with. He just needs to speak! It's a nice analog to Clerks — the two would make an excellent double feature — operating on the same DIY stylistic wavelength. Though Lee would refine his technique in subsequent films, She's Gotta Have It shows us right away that he's not afraid to be loud, didactic, and uncompromising. A Spike Lee Joint is a Spike Lee Joint. There are no second guesses or equivocations. He slathers messages on billboards for all to see, whether it be in his dialogue, his cinematography, or on the t-shirts and ball caps his characters wear. Is the story mostly twenty-something posturing? Sure, and I don't disagree that a filmmaker hammering us with one subject — in this case, the characters' sex lives — gets repetitive and cringe-inducing at times, but again, I'm less critical of it in this context because he's speaking with such an exciting voice. She's Gotta Have It is a young person's movie, but it's still worth celebrating.
Next on our list is Mo' Better Blues, Lee's 1990 follow-up to Do the Right Thing. The film stars Denzel Washington as Bleek Gilliam, a jazz trumpeter whose playboy antics complicate his professional career. Wesley Snipes and Cynda Williams join Lee regulars Bill Nunn, Giancarlo Esposito, Joie Lee, John Turturro, and Robin Harris in supporting roles, and the jazz soundtrack is composed and performed by Terence Blanchard and the Branford Marsalis Quartet. This was my first viewing of Mo' Better Blues, and I found it to be one of the stronger films we'll be covering this week. Washington shines as the cocksure Gilliam. The dude's a movie star! Though the battles with bandmates (including the director himself as Gilliam's gambling-addicted manager) and juggling of love interests Indigo and Clarke echo familiar Musician Biopic tropes, Spike tackles male egotism ("it's a d-i-c-k thing") and de-romanticizes the artistic temperament in a way that keeps things fresh. Still, it's not perfect, and there are certainly times when that same energy and spontaneity that served him so well in She's Gotta Have It complicate the narrative and thematic throughlines he's trying to create.
Adam: This was also my first viewing of Mo' Better Blues, which is embarrassing because I'm a giant Denzel Washington fan. Of the six movies we're covering this week, this was my fourth favorite. I liked most of it and I'm positive on the movie overall, but it's also one I was editing in my head as I was watching it. As you mention, the narrative is all over the place and streamlining some of it might be to the film's benefit. I kept wanting the movie to be more about Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes' relationship instead of Denzel and Spike Lee's. The gambling addict manager character that Lee plays isn't particularly interesting to me, so I would be fine if that were jettisoned. I thought the best parts of the movie were, as you said, when it takes the piss out of the romantic myth of the tortured jazz musician, the Cynda Williams performance (she's pretty striking here and also very good in Carl Franklin's One False Move, which came out a couple of years later), and especially the music by Blanchard and the Marsalis Quartet. Whether it's his father Bill Lee (who this movie was in part inspired by), Blanchard, or, later, Bruce Hornsby, Lee consistently gets incredible scores from his composers. The ending of Mo' Better Blues made the movie work for me. I like how it tied together the thread that the Washington character was "Mo' Bettering" the women in his lives and his own career as a musician, by which I mean he was basically f'ing them but didn't love any of it and only by choosing to nurture those things would he not be miserable. It's a weird ending because it's so positive compared to the pessimistic tone of the majority of the movie, but it's pretty refreshing, too, because it's so unexpected.
Next up is Crooklyn, the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story about Spike Lee's childhood growing up in Brooklyn, NY during the summer of 1973. This was a rewatch for me and my favorite of the bunch from these viewings. I always liked Crooklyn, but this is the watch where I began to love the movie. It's incredible how well Lee is able to put you in that house and make you feel like you live there with this family. It's an amazing feat of ensemble acting. You and I were texting yesterday about how much we loved Delroy Lindo in both this and Clockers, and my goodness are he, Alfre Woodard, and Zelda Harris exceptional in Crooklyn. Not that it's always a mark of quality with movies, but I was genuinely moved to tears by the end of Crooklyn this time. It's a movie I want to give a hug and take care of forever. The Spike Lee movies that get the most attention are the ones where their greatness can't be denied (Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, 25th Hour), but I have just as much love for his bench players (like Crooklyn, Jungle Fever, Summer of Sam) that you need to remind people sometimes are great in their own right.
Rob: This was my first viewing of Crooklyn, and like you, I really adored it. I agree that the performances are outstanding (for real, though: Delroy Lindo. For real), but one of the great things about the film is that siblings Spike, Joie, and Cinqué Lee all share screenplay credit. It's hard to get more authentic than that! Crooklyn is one of the best examples of Spike's vignette style really working; I wouldn't describe his stories as episodic, necessarily, but he's a lot like Martin Scorsese in that he often seems to care more about the mood and rhythm of a particular scene than he is about whether or not those stylistic choices cohere with or complement the rest of the film. He's not afraid to mix it up when it feels right. I didn't love every choice — I even asked you if that odd anamorphic stretch effect was intentional or just my Amazon video player acting up — but I saw the rationale behind each one and really appreciated Spike's consistent effort to try new things and leave his mark. At this point in the marathon, I was just so at home in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood I first met in Do the Right Thing that any opportunity to spend time there felt like going home.
Next up is Clockers, Lee's 1995 crime drama based on the novel of the same name by Richard Price. Mekhi Phifer is Strike Dunham, a low-level dealer for Rodney Little (Del! Roy! Lindo!) whose life is turned upside-down when he agrees to carry out a hit on a fellow dealer. When homicide detectives Klein and Mazilli (Harvey Keitel and John Turturro) dig into Little's operation in search of clues, they discover Strike's complicated web of alliances and dogged determination to preserve his family and community. This was my first viewing of Clockers, and while I appreciate Spike's interest in exploring the darker side of life in that aforementioned neighborhood, I felt that his moralistic need to teach a lesson interfered with his ability to tell a story. This one just doesn't feel confidently made, especially when compared with something like Crooklyn. The performances are good, of course, but it feels like Spike is standing at a remove from these characters, even judging them. They felt one-dimensional. They lacked the usual dynamism and ambiguity that defines so many of his other creations. The street-level drama was dry and predictable, and though I hate to bring up The Wire twice in three weeks, I have to admit that I found myself making a few unfavorable comparisons.
Adam: I totally see where you're coming from, but being a person who never watched The Wire, I liked Clockers (this was a re-watch) because it reminds me of a multi-episode arc of my beloved NYPD Blue. I think the second hour of the movie works better than the first, which has weird asides like chocolate milk tummy aches, a pre-Grand Theft Auto VR game called "Gangsta," and train sets. What I did like was all the police procedural strategy and the performances by Harvey Keitel, Mekhi Phifer, and especially DEL! ROY! LINDO!!! who somehow manages to play a crime lord with the same calmness as his supportive dad character in Crooklyn and yet change on a dime into a really chilling figure. I think Clockers is good Spike Lee, but not one of my favorites from his filmography. It feels like a movie a lot of other directors could have, made which is not something you'd usually say about a Spike Lee Joint.
Next we switched gears to Lee's 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls, recounting the horrific tragedy in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963, where four young African-American girls (Addie May Collins, Carol Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley and Carole Rosamond Robertson) were murdered in a bombing while they attended church for Sunday School. The event shook the nation and advanced the Civil Rights Movement, but Lee wisely doesn't use that as the focal point and instead mostly stays with the parents, family, and friends of the four girls over thirty years later to hear from them in their own words. This movie is expectedly heartbreaking and unforgettable, particularly when you see the eyes of the mothers and fathers of these girls as they are being interviewed by Lee. I also applaud Spike Lee for shining a light on the hate-mongering assholes responsible for this act of violence, including former Governor George Wallace, who at the time in 1997, was very old and trying to spin his involvement working up the most evil members of the white community in Birmingham during the early '60s. I'll never forget how fucking pathetic he is when he tries to gain favor with Lee by introducing his best friend during the interview multiple times. The "best friend" is a black man who works for Wallace and you can see in the man's body language that the sentiment is far from mutual. Documentaries and features like 4 Little Girls and Ava DuVernay's Selma are essential viewing for everyone because you need to feel these events for yourself in small measure on a direct level to keep you alert and make sure you do your part so that they don't happen again.
Rob: This was also my first viewing of 4 Little Girls, and I agree with everything you said. You and I were talking a little before about how impossible it must have been for these parents to go on after this horrible tragedy (I doubt very much that I'd have that strength), and what little consolation it must be to know your child's death helped fuel a permanent social revolution. It's great, sure, but it doesn't bring your child back. Lee takes the right approach here, stepping back to hear their stories without editorializing too much. And boy, is that George Wallace stuff disgusting. I fell down a Wikipedia rabbit hole after watching this and, while I thought I knew a reasonable amount about him, I was just horrified to learn what a monster he truly was. That shot of him posing with his "best friend" goes on for so long that it becomes sickening. Yikes. 4 Little Girls is a powerful film that speaks for itself, really, so I'll just end by saying that I hope Spike Lee makes more documentaries in the future.
Our last film is 2004's She Hate Me, the controversial "comedy" starring Anthony Mackie as a corporate executive falsely charged with fraud and fired after reporting the shady practices of his boss (Woody Harrelson) and the technology firm he manages. Now out on his ass, Jack (Mackie) is approached by his ex-girlfriend, Fatima (Kerry Washington) with a deal: $10,000 in cash to impregnate her and her girlfriend, Alex (Dania Ramirez), the woman for whom Fatima left him years ago. Jack accepts the deal (which inexplicably involves not just his seed, but actual sexual intercourse), soon finding himself moonlighting as a sperm donor for Fatima's other wealthy lesbian friends. A few Red Bull and Viagra-charged sexual marathons later, Jack becomes a national sensation when he impregnates more than a dozen women. Jim Brown also stars as Jack's diabetic father, and John Turturro plays a mafia boss who corners Jack when his daughter (Monica Bellucci — Go ahead and do the math on those ages, if you like) enlists his services. There's also a subplot involving Frank Willis (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the real-life security guard who first reported the Watergate break-ins, and a big trial scene in which Jack gives an impassioned speech about democracy. No, I'm serious.
Adam, I'm sorry, but I'm speechless and I need your help. I've just got nothing. What exactly is She Hate Me?
Adam: Besides bad? Annoying. I will defend almost any Spike Lee movie, but She Hate Me is one of the few I have very little tolerance for. It's amazing that I get so little out of it considering Lee is one of my favorite directors and the cast has actors like Anthony Mackie, Kerry Washington, and Woody Harrelson, whose movies I seek out just because they're in them. As your plot description (bless you) details, She Hate Me is four or five different movies that change out on a scene by scene basis. I described it to you as I was watching it as a Choose Your Own Adventure story. The last act in particular is so ludicrous that I'm convinced this is meant to be satire, but of what exactly? Lee is focusing on too many things to skewer them all, so instead it's just the thing that's bad instead of commenting on the thing that's bad (e.g. corporate greed, stereotypes about male and female sexuality, etc.). I was ok with the movie, even interested, for the first 30 minutes and was ready to give the movie a fair shake because of Roger Ebert's empathetic 3-star review, but as I told Patrick, I couldn't go along with Mr. Ebert's take because if I did I would no longer have meaning to associate with the phrase "I liked that movie." Much of Spike Lee's output in the past 10-15 years has been largely ignored or forgotten as he's become very experimental to lesser success. She Hate Me's lack of footprint in the discussion of his work is probably for the best. It's a frustrating failure and not an interesting one to me at least.
To close out, what's the next Spike Lee movie you think you'll watch, and which one of his movies (that we didn't write about here) do you want more people to see?
Rob: I'll be watching Do the Right Thing with my film class soon, so it'll likely be that, but I've also got a real urge to revisit 25th Hour. I haven't seen that since I rented it through Netflix some years back. Other than that, I'm not sure I have a pet favorite that I'd really advocate for as underseen. In fact, a lot of my Spike Lee experience has been through friends like you recommending favorites of your own. I know I have a column on Inside Man in me somewhere, and I've still never seen Girl 6, which we tried to find for this column but were unsuccessful.
Adam: Girl 6 is my Moby Dick. That's the last of his features I've yet to see. I think the next one I'll watch is a revisit of BlacKkKlansman before the Oscars and the one I'll advocate for is Get On The Bus, which is terrific and hardly ever talked about. It's a really interesting idea for a movie as it was filmed in real-time during the Million Man March with an ensemble of actors most of whom are from Lee's rep company of regulars.
What do we have planned for next week?
Rob: All Pacino returns with 1991's Frankie and Johnny!
Adam: It's how we'll celebrate Al-entine's Day! Hoo-ah! Until next time…
Rob: These seats are reserved.

Love this. And I am so happy to see CROOKLYN getting such affection as it is a long-time favorite of mine that people don't always seem as familiar with! I skipped your (probably beautiful and perfect) words about 4 LITTLE GIRLS for now though... #somethingsomethinggreatminds

Great article. Thanks guys.
I once tried to defend "She Hate Me" as some sort of subversive comedic/political masterpiece and then my friend smacked me and told me I was wrong, and now I know I was abolutely dead-ass don't-know-shit-from-shinola wrong. But the cast is good (God help me).
"Clockers" has turned into an annual watch for me. I think it moves incredibly well and it breaks my heart everytime.
Keep up the lord's work, fellas.
WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE is an all-timer.


Often in our zest to reach an imaginary weight goal, we set an unrealistic target and time frame. When it becomes clear that the goal can't be met, our best intentions are forgotten and any lost weight returns with a few extra pounds to discourage us from trying again. Permanent weight loss must be accomplished slowly, with a plan to drop no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week. This allows our body time to adjust naturally and make the necessary metabolic changes to maintain our lower weight. Slow and steady weight loss is the key to long-term weight loss. If you want to keep the weight off for good, don't worry about it coming off to fast. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
Make a plan to achieve your weight loss goal. Chart your day to include 3 well balanced meals and develop a calorie controlled menu that will allow you to hit your target. Schedule physical activity at a specific time as you would a business appointment. Avoid generalizations about diet and exercise, and be specific with regard to intent and end result.
Everybody is human and inevitably you will give in to temptation and have a minor set back. This DOES NOT mean you have failed or have ruined your quest for weight loss success. It simply means you're human and you simply get right back to it. Fortunately your body is very forgiving and does not assess caloric intake for a single meal or even an entire day. Allow yourself an occasional treat when you really need it to keep yourself moving forward toward your weight loss goal.
There's more to yoga than just stretching. Yoga burns calories through physical activity and can also be a relaxing way to have time to yourself. Researchers from the Hutchinson Cancer Center have "found that regular yoga practice is associated with the prevention of middle-age spread in normal-weight people and the promotion ofweight loss in those who are overweight." Yoga practice leads to mindful eating and healthy weight loss.
The New Year is approaching quickly and health conscious people will be thinking about losing weight gained during the past year. The best way to drop excess pounds is make a structured plan and set appropriate goals that will help you reach your weight target and improve your health and quality of life.

Ronald Anthony Parise (* 24. Mai 1951 in Warren, Ohio, USA; † 9. Mai 2008 in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA) war ein US-amerikanischer Astronom. Er hat 1990 und 1995 als Nutzlastspezialist an Raumflügen des Space Shuttles teilgenommen, war jedoch kein Berufsastronaut der NASA.

Leben
Parise erhielt 1973 einen Bachelor in Physik von der Youngstown State University. 1977 erhielt er einen Master und 1979 eine Promotion in Astronomie an der University of Florida.

1979 kam Parise zur Firma Operations Research Inc. (ORI), wo er bereits an Projekten für die NASA beteiligt war. 1980 fing er bei Computer Sciences Corporation an und arbeitete dort im Programm für das Weltraumteleskop International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). 1981 begann er mit der Entwicklung eines neuen Spacelab-Experiments mit der Bezeichnung Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT).

Parise war an zahlreichen astronomischen Forschungsprojekten beteiligt, die auf Daten von Erdobservatorien und den Weltraumteleskopen Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 3 (Copernikus),  International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) und dem ASTRO-Observatorium beruhten. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte zur interstellaren Materie in Doppelsternsystemen und den Entwicklungsstatus von Sternen in Kugelsternhaufen wurden in zahlreichen Artikeln veröffentlicht.

Astronautentätigkeit
1984 wurde Parise von der NASA als Nutzlastspezialist für die neuen ASTRO-Missionen ausgewählt. Bei der NASA half er bei der Entwicklung und Auswertung der Ergebnisse dieser Missionen. Auch bei der Planung von Missionen zur Raumstation Mir, zur Internationalen Raumstation und für das X-38-Crew Return Vehicle war er beteiligt.

STS-61-E
Parise hätte mit der Raumfähre Columbia im März 1986 zur ASTRO-1-Mission starten sollen. Nach der Challenger-Katastrophe wurde die Mission STS-61-E abgesagt und als STS-35 später geflogen.

STS-71-A
Die Mission STS-71-A mit der Raumfähre Atlantis hätte am 12. Januar 1987 die ASTRO-2-Spacelab-Mission ins All bringen sollen. Nach der Challenger-Katastrophe wurde der Flug abgesagt. Die Mannschaft hätte aus Jon McBride, Richard Richards, David Leestma, Jeffrey Hoffman, Robert Parker, Nutzlastspezialist Kenneth Nordsieck sowie einem der zwei weiteren Nutzlastspezialisten Samuel Durrance und Ronald Parise bestanden. Die Mission wurde als STS-35 später geflogen.

STS-71-M
Diese Mission STS-71-M mit der Raumfähre Challenger hätte am 18. August 1987 die ASTRO-3-Spacelab-Mission ins All bringen sollen. Nach der Challenger-Katastrophe wurde der Flug abgesagt. Zur Mannschaft hätten auch Nutzlastspezialist Kenneth Nordsieck sowie einem der zwei weiteren Nutzlastspezialisten Samuel Durrance und Ronald Parise gehört. Die Mission wurde später nicht mehr geflogen.

STS-35
Am 2. Dezember 1990 startete Parise als Nutzlastspezialist mit der Raumfähre Columbia ins All. Bei diesem Flug kam es zu Startverzögerungen, so dass das erste Mal in der Geschichte zwei Space Shuttles sich startbereit auf den Startrampen gegenüberstanden. Hauptziel der Mission waren astronomische Beobachtungen mit den Geräten der ASTRO-1-Plattform im Bereich der UV- und Röntgenstrahlen. Während der Mission gab es einige technische Probleme, so funktionierten zum Beispiel die Displays zum Ausrichten der ASTRO-1-Teleskope nicht. Die Teleskope mussten deshalb von der Erde aus gesteuert werden. Die wissenschaftlichen Ziele konnten aber trotzdem zu etwa 70 Prozent erreicht werden.

STS-67
Auf seiner zweiten Weltraummission flog Parise am 2. März 1995 als Nutzlastspezialist mit dem Space Shuttle Endeavour ins All. Es war der zweite Flug des Astro-Observatoriums mit drei Ultra-Violett-Teleskopen an Bord. Der Flug dauerte über 16 Tage und endete mit der Landung am 18. März 1995 auf der Edwards Air Force Base in Kalifornien.

Nach den Raumflügen
Nach seinen Raumflügen arbeitete er am Goddard Space Flight Center der NASA.

Tod
Ronald Parise starb am 9. Mai 2008 an einem Gehirntumor. Er hinterließ seine Frau und zwei Kinder.
