If your friends are like my friends, then you will understand why many of the conversations I've had recently began with a variation of, "So have you seen it yet?" And by "it" we all understood that we meant Star Wars. We've been comparing excitement and concerns for a good two years now, so we all have a good grounding of discussion. I'm not getting this review up immediately, but I went to see the movie on Saturday of opening weekend. I was clinging to caution right up until the lights dimmed (and maybe for an hour after that…) but the final verdict? I liked it!
And from here on out, spoilers abound. I warned you!
The story is set thirty years after Return of the Jedi. The politics are slightly confusing, but the Rebel Alliance has evolved into/been replaced by the Resistance, who are fighting the First Order, heir apparent of the Empire. And there's a New Republic, but we're not sure how powerful they are. Much more importantly, Luke has disappeared, General Leia Organa is heading the Resistance and hoping to find her brother, a renegade Stormtrooper named Finn gets mixed up in galactic complications, then drags Rey, a scavenger on a desert world (but not Tattooine) into the mix too. And there are battles and uses of the Force and funny droids. Of course.
That is not a good summary, but you've probably seen it by now, so it doesn't matter that much. We know what I'm talking about, right?
So after being super, super cautious, why did I like it? Mostly it was the characters. And it just felt right. After the mess of the prequels, this felt so much more like the original trilogy. There were funny lines delivered well, echoing Empire-ish hallways unspoiled by obvious CGI, a funny droid sidekick and, perhaps most important, we're back onto a Hero's Journey archetypal trajectory, only this time it's also a Heroine's Journey because Finn and Rey both have paths to explore.
So as I was saying–I loved the characters. I loved the way it felt. I loved the throwbacks to the original and it just feels good to see Han trying to talk his way out of a mess.
Which brings me right up to the one part I still don't know how to feel about. More spoilers coming! But first some context.
Ever since they threw out the Expanded Universe (all the canon established in the books), I've been saying I didn't care about the details, I just didn't want them to change the broad strokes (so that's about a year and a half I've been maintaining this!) I wanted Luke to be the Jedi Master training up a new generation of Jedis, and I wanted Leia and Han to be happily married, preferably with Leia in some kind of high-level political role. That's all I wanted. That wasn't asking for that much, right?
And for most of the movie, I felt okay. I kept reminding myself (honestly, I literally thought this a good six times while watching), it's an alternate universe version, and it wasn't too bad anyway. Luke was training Jedi before he disappeared. Leia and Han (married or not?) at least had a son together, and Leia was leading the Resistance. Things have gone off track recently, but they'll probably patch back up to the way it ought to be by the end of the trilogy, right?
So I was totally on board, despite some issues…until Han died. And I still don't know how I feel about that. As a writer I appreciate that it was beautifully done. As a fan I'm sad (and also chanting alternate universe, alternate universe). And you know what might be weirdest? I am heart-broken that we didn't get another I love you/I know moment for Han and Leia. I'd feel so much better if, right before Han got on the ship to fly off and be killed, he'd looked at Leia and said, "I still love you," and she said, "I know" and then I just think I'd have so much more peace around the whole thing. Sigh.
I'm holding out hope that he might not really be dead though. I discussed this with a group of friends and we all agreed there's absolutely no logical way he could have survived–but that that won't matter at all if they want to bring him back. So. We'll see.
I'm kind of disappointed that Luke was barely a cameo and that Leia wasn't much more than that. But I'm hopeful about both of them (Luke more so) for the next movie–which I think I'm more excited about than I was for this one. I don't feel like I have to be so cautious.
And also, I'm weirdly happy about Luke's beard. I don't know, it was just a really nice touch that somehow gave me this great final moment of "ooh, awesome" that makes me feel happier about the whole thing. Because the last moment of a movie is hugely impactful.
Although I did put a Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel on reserve at the library the day after seeing the movie. Because that is a man who knew how these characters' lives should turn out, and the new movies still have some work to do to convince me they're more primary than the Thrawn trilogy. But I'll be excited to go see them anyway!
Ironically, one of the movie's greatest strengths was also, in a way, its greatest flaw. The plot was eerily similar to A New Hope, down to the hero on a desert world with latent Jedi powers. There was a definite lack of originality. Yet, that is also part of what helped Star Wars get its groove back after the three prequels fell so far short, and if you're going to steal a plot, you might as well steal the best.
Agreed on many points, especially coming from someone else who read many expanded universe novels. But you didn't even touch on how unique a villain Kylo Ren is–that he knows he still has good in him and HATES it. That he's unstable in a "I'm going to back away slowly because you're scaring me" way instead of an angsty way like Anakin was. I loved that about him, and look forward to what his future holds as well.
A good point! I actually really liked the part when he says the "light side is calling to him." It was a cool reversal of the good guy tempted by evil…he's a villain tempted by good. I really hope we find out more about his past/why he turned dark in later movies.

Lauryn Hill has shared a new single, 'Guarding the Gates' which is taken from the new soundtrack to Queen & Slim.
Read More: Delays and sound issues: Ms Lauryn Hill's Pyramid set falls disappointingly flat
Hill appears on the soundtrack to Queen & Slim – a new film about "a black Bonnie and Clyde" – alongside Vince Staples and Megan Thee Stallion.
As Variety reported last month (October 11), other artists with new material on the 17-song soundtrack include Lil Baby, Tiana Major9 and EarthGang, as well as Coast Contra with BJ the Chicago Kid and Syd. 6lack and Mereba will appear alongside Vince Staples on his song.
The soundtrack has been released on Motown today (November 15), ahead of the film's theatre release on November 27. You can listen to 'Guarding the Gates' below:
Queen & Slim stars Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Black Mirror) and Jodie Turner-Smith (The Neon Demon) as a couple on a first date who later become fugitives after an altercation with the police.
"Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country," the official synopsis reads.
Back in August, Pusha T released a new song, 'Coming Home' which featured Hill. It was co-produced by Kanye West, Mike Dean and Charlie Heat.
"This record speaks to mass incarceration," the rapper told Ebro Darden, who premiered the song on Apple Music's Beats 1. "It speaks to just giving hope to those who are coming home, and telling people who are locked up and behind the walls that we waiting on 'em and we're gonna be a support system for when they get home."
Speaking about Hill's involvement on the track, Pusha said: "I just made the request. She expressed that she liked my music, and she'd see about it. I definitely followed the queen around, whatever it took."

The opportunities and challenges when recruiting architecture roles in the UAE
Published: 17 Mar 2021 By Pamela Buxton
The Middle East still offers huge opportunities – for the right people
Image: BDP established its office in Abu Dhabi in 2010. The practice also works in Dubai, where it has been working on a new campus for Heriot-Watt University.
Traditionally when times are hard in the domestic job market, architects cast their eyes abroad. In the last few decades, this has often been to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and in particular, the commercial and financial centre of Dubai. After the comparatively tough year that the UK has just had with Covid-19, it's a fair bet that many will be tempted to look abroad, and in the direction of the Persian Gulf again.
The UAE may have fared far better than the UK with Covid – deaths per 100,000 were at 12.7 compared to 183 according to Johns Hopkins University (1 March), but like many countries, it is still dealing with renewed waves of infections.
As with most international markets, UAE experienced a major economic slow down during the pandemic, with the Institute of International Finance estimating that the economy contracted by 5.7% in 2020. Knight Frank put the figure even higher at 7.7%.
As a result, UAE, is no longer the hotspot of fast-paced construction it was 10 years ago. However, after the decline of 2020, Knight Frank forecasts an expansion in the economy of 4% by 2022. This is likely to be fuelled by the delayed Expo 2020, the first world Expo ever to take place in the region, which is now scheduled for 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. Twenty five million visitors and participants are expected to the event, which has themes of Opportunity, Mobility, Sustainability.
Another emerging growth area is the neighbouring Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where a new focus on tourism is fuelling the hospitality and resort sector, and several practices already established in the Middle East are looking carefully at this new market for expansion. A visa scheme was launched in late 2019 for international tourists, and the kingdom hopes tourism can increase from 3-10% of GDP by 2030, with the potential for the creation of 1 million jobs in tourism.
It's not just the 40°C heat that makes working as an architect in the Middle East remarkable. Despite the potential for a high standard of living and above-average salaries, working here will not be for everyone. For RIBA Chartered Practices in the UAE and the wider region, it's important to be careful about recruiting the right personnel with the appropriate skills, knowledge, and approach to business. It is an asset, for instance, not only to be an Arabic speaker, but also to have a grip on international standards and to be used to working in a demanding client culture.
So how do practices go about hiring?
Practices in the UAE are finding that there is no shortage of available talent.
BDP established its 18-strong office in Abu Dhabi – the UAE capital and centre of the oil industry - in 2010 . The practice also works in Dubai, where it has been working on a new campus for Heriot-Watt University. While the office recently hired an associate from the UK, it generally looks to recruit locally from the UAE and wider MENA region for graduates and younger members of staff, according to BDP MENA director Gary Dicken.
'There is a surplus of very talented people out there in the local market. We've been taking the opportunity to meet on an informal basis with talented individuals with a view to potentially hiring them when we are in a position to recruit,' he says.
'There's a pretty close-knit community network so word-of-mouth plays a part. For more senior strategic roles we tend to look within our own firm or engage recruitment agencies.'
Securing visas was problematic at one point in the middle of last year, although Dicken says this has improved recently.
Having people who can speak Arabic in the studio is particularly advantageous. Most practices employ a variety of nationalities including graduates from the best local architecture schools, such as the American University of Sharjah and the American University of Dubai.
Sumaya Dabbagh, a UK-educated Saudi Arabian who established her practice Dabbagh Architects 10 years ago, looks for candidates with local/regional experience who also meet international standards in terms of training.
'I prefer to have someone with some experience of the UAE as it can be quite a culture shock otherwise in terms of the ways that things are done, how planning works and all the regulations,' she says.
Similarly, Jonathan Ashmore of Dubai-based practice Anarchitect looks for candidates with first-hand experience of the region and cultural sensitivity but who are also internationally minded.
'We need quite strong, entrepreneurial and diverse characters including Arabic speakers and people from the region,' he says.
'We like to find people with an understanding of the culture and opportunities in the Middle East but who also have an understanding of international standards of work and design. For junior architects, we look to engage with some of the good local schools.'
However, given the current, still cautious market following Covid, he says the practice is likely to look for more professionally experienced staff capable of multi-tasking and managing various projects at different stages.
'I believe resourcefulness and professionalism for us is now even more important as we require our staff to be more experienced and able to flexibly adapt to the new demands the industry is facing,' he says.
Intensive demands
UAE practices want staff who can embrace the particularly intensive nature of projects in the region.
'It's very intense. Demands from the client are quite high in terms of expectations of time frame and the number of revisions they want you to do,' says Ashmore.
'While we're always looking for intelligent designers with a genuine appreciation of context and culture, the challenges here are different,' adds BDP's Gary Dicken. 'Invariably we're working to challenging deadlines. You have to be extremely efficient and get to the answers quickly. There's no time to deliberate.'
Skill in handling client relationships is another important attribute.
'There is a very fast pace to the work that we deliver in this region, and clients as ever are very demanding due to tight time scales,' says Neil Serridge of Dubai-based Benoy.
Creative advantages
For the right candidate, the rewards can be considerable.
'The opportunity to work on really interesting projects is available here and I think that's very exciting for a lot of young architects,' says Sumaya Dabbagh, pointing to the varied workload of her own practice.
Candidates may also like the prospect of higher salaries, although these do go hand-in-hand with high living costs.
BDP's Dicken points to the good quality of life on offer. 'There's no long commute, it's very safe, and UAE is a tremendous hub for onward travel.'
And while it won't be for everyone, there are certainly good prospects for architects in the UAE if, as Jonathan Ashmore puts it, you're prepared 'to take the rough with the smooth'.
'It is a positively demanding environment,' he says. 'But it's great because there's also ambition, and you can get involved in projects that are genuinely exciting and dynamic and our architects actually get to see the projects being built and handed over.'
There has been a recent shift in the market in the region, with a diversification of opportunities both geographically and in terms of project type.
BDP's Dicken expects Dubai, after a difficult 2020, to benefit from both the rescheduled Expo 2020 and a number of stimulus programmes linked to the 50th anniversary of the UAE in 2021. In March, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates also announced a stimulus package of $70 billion worth of capital and liquidity measures to accelerate economic recovery from the pandemic.
There are also increased opportunities in adaptive re-use projects in the UAE, according to Neil Serridge, who as senior associate director has headed up Benoy's Dubai office for the last two years.
'Dubai is maturing as a city. And we're seeing a different approach now than just build, build, build, with more strategic development and a lot of repurposing,' he says.
While the retail market in Dubai has become 'over-saturated' the practice is also seeing increased opportunities in North Africa and in particular in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where Benoy is already working extensively on both city scale masterplans and mixed-use developments.
Here, growth away from a carbon-based economy is being driven by the Saudi Vision 2030 Framework. This is starting to gain traction with an opening up to tourism, hand-in hand with a changing dynamic in Saudi society. The experience of the recent pandemic is likely to only further heighten the importance of sustainable environmentally responsible lifestyles.
'Should we be successful in opening our studio in Riyadh, and if project demands can justify personnel than we will hire – our employment strategy will be for a mix of local Saudi and international talent,' says Serridge, adding that as Saudi clients particularly value 'face time' building a locally-based workforce will be more essential.
'A lot of clients need to develop and act. There's a lot of will in 2021 to get their projects moving forwards,' says Serridge, adding that there's considerable optimism in KSA at the moment.
Anarchitect recently won its first project in KSA (in Riyadh's diplomatic quarter) and BDP is also interested in growing its presence in Saudi Arabia to meet an expansion in opportunities.
'BDP have worked on an exciting portfolio of projects in KSA and are witnessing a transformative investment in infrastructure. There are some astonishing heritage and archaeological sites in the KSA and the kingdom is looking to capitalise on that – tourism is seen as a major growth area to address what is currently a predominantly carbon-based economy,' says Dicken.
Tips on recruiting talent in the UAE
Recruit a diverse team including Arabic speakers and those with local knowledge
Consider talent from the best local universities as well as expats
Recruit candidates with the potential to suit the high-intensity working practices of the region
Recruit candidates with the people skills required for managing sensitive client relationships
If recruiting from the UK, be upfront about the particular working and living conditions in the UAE

THOMAS M. DICAUDO and BENJAMIN R. SORBER, Attorneys at Law, for Appellant.
SHERRI BEVAN WALSH, Prosecuting Attorney, and RICHARD S. KASAY, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for Appellee.
CARR, Judge. SCHAFER, P. J. TEODOSIO, J. CONCUR.
Defendant-Appellant Cordell Walker appeals from his convictions in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas. This Court affirms.
Around 1 a.m. on August 16, 2015, at a gas station in Akron, Walker shot the victim in his left and right arms and abdomen. Based upon that incident, Walker was indicted on two counts of felonious assault, with accompanying firearm specifications, and one count of having weapons while under disability. The matter proceeded to a jury trial, at which Walker maintained he acted in self-defense and/or in defense of others. The trial court instructed the jury concerning the affirmative defenses of self-defense and defense of others with respect to the two counts of felonious assault, but not with respect to the charge of having weapons while under disability. The jury found Walker not guilty of the second count of felonious assault, but guilty of the first count of felonious assault and the accompanying firearm specification, and the count for having weapons while under disability. The trial court concluded the two counts merged and sentenced Walker to an aggregate sentence of nine years in prison for the felonious assault charge and the accompanying firearm specification.
Walker has appealed, raising two assignments of error for our review.
MR. WALKER'S CONVICTION FOR FELONIOUS ASSAULT IS AGAINST THE MANIFEST WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE, MERITING A NEW TRIAL.
Walker argues in his first assignment of error that his conviction for felonious assault is against the manifest weight of the evidence. Specifically, he asserts that the weight of the evidence supported his contention that he acted in self-defense. We do not agree.
In determining whether a criminal conviction is against the manifest weight of the evidence, an appellate court must review the entire record, weigh the evidence and all reasonable inferences, consider the credibility of witnesses and determine whether, in resolving conflicts in the evidence, the trier of fact clearly lost its way and created such a manifest miscarriage of justice that the conviction must be reversed and a new trial ordered.
State v. Otten, 33 Ohio App.3d 339, 340, 515 N.E.2d 1009 (9th Dist.1986). "When a court of appeals reverses a judgment of a trial court on the basis that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence, the appellate court sits as a 'thirteenth juror' and disagrees with the fact[-]finder's resolution of the conflicting testimony." State v. Thompkins, 78 Ohio St.3d 380, 387, 1997 Ohio 52, 678 N.E.2d 541 (1997), quoting Tibbs v. Florida, 457 U.S. 31, 42, 102 S. Ct. 2211, 72 L. Ed. 2d 652 (1982). An appellate court should exercise the power to reverse a judgment as against the manifest weight of the evidence only in exceptional cases. Otten at 340.
Walker was found guilty of violating R.C. 2903.11(A)(1), which states that "[n]o person shall knowingly * * * [c]ause serious physical harm to another * * *[.]" Walker did not dispute that he shot the victim. Instead, he contends on appeal that the weight of the evidence supports that he acted in self-defense.
State v. Osborne, 9th Dist. Summit No. 27563, 2016-Ohio-282, ¶ 6, quoting State v. Goff, 128 Ohio St.3d 169, 2010-Ohio-6317, ¶ 36, 942 N.E.2d 1075, quoting State v. Thomas, 77 Ohio St.3d 323, 326, 1997 Ohio 269, 673 N.E.2d 1339 (1997). "The elements of self-defense are cumulative. * * * If the defendant fails to prove any one of these elements by a preponderance of the evidence he has failed to demonstrate that he acted in self-defense." (Internal quotations and citations omitted.) Osborne at ¶ 6.
Here, the jury was presented with different versions of the events. After carefully reviewing the record, we cannot say the jury lost its way in finding Walker guilty of felonious assault.
During the evening of August 15, 2015, the victim had been drinking with Taylor, who was the mother of his children, and Taylor's sister. Sometime late in the evening, the three got into a car and went and picked up the victim's longtime friend, India, and India's best friend, in order to give them a ride home. Taylor drove and her sister was in the front passenger seat. The victim, India, and India's friend were in the backseat. Prior to dropping India and India's friend off, Taylor drove to a gas station in Akron in order to purchase liquor after hours. There was testimony that members of the group had done so before.
That evening, Walker went to the gas station to get some juice, and, while he was there, the gas station store employee asked him to help out at the drive-thru window, which Walker agreed to do. According to Taylor, when she drove up to the drive-thru window and asked for a bottle of liquor, Walker was at the window and began flirting with her and telling her that she could have whatever she wanted for free. According to Walker, he asked the store employee whether they had any liquor and the store employee said that they did not. Taylor, however, testified that the gas station store manager was willing to sell the liquor, but after talking to Walker, he changed his mind. The victim and Walker argued. The victim got out of the car and approached the window. According to Walker, the victim was poking Walker and ultimately spit at Walker. Walker also asserted that the victim had a gun while in the driver-thru. The store employee's testimony corroborated that the victim spit on Walker and that the victim had a gun, which he kept slapping. The store employee told the store manager about the weapon. The victim denied having a gun at all that evening, and the women in the car with him denied seeing him with a gun. However, Taylor's sister testified that she saw Walker with a gun while he was in the gas station and India testified that, while they were still at the drive-thru window, she saw the store manager hand the store employee a gun, who then handed the gun to Walker.
The yelling at the window drew the attention of the store manager, who came to the window, told Walker and the people in the car to leave, and closed the window. However, Taylor's sister testified that the store manager told her that one of the women in the car could come in and buy something.
Taylor pulled the car around and parked near one of the pumps. Taylor's sister went into the store, and as she was doing so, Walker and the store employee came out. The testimony concerning what happened over the next few minutes varied from witness to witness.
In addition to Walker and the victim, Taylor and the store manager witnessed the shooting. The store employee witnessed the events leading up to the shooting, but did not actually see who shot whom. India and India's friend fled from the vehicle before the shooting, shortly after seeing Walker with a gun when he was leaving the store. According to India's friend, she heard the gunshots as she was running from the scene. However, India did testify that, as they were running, she would turn back periodically and saw Walker pointing a gun at the victim. India averred that the victim did not have a gun on him. Taylor's sister testified that, as she walked in the store, she saw Walker pick up a gun and walk out. She did not realize it was a gun until later. Shortly thereafter, she heard gunshots and hid. When the store manager came back into the store with a gun, Taylor's sister ran out of the store.
Taylor testified that Walker came out of the store towards the car asking where the victim was in a taunting manner. The victim got out of the car expecting there to be a fistfight. Taylor indicated that Walker then pulled out a gun and the victim put his hands up. Walker took aim at the victim and the victim grabbed the store employee and ducked behind the store employee to use him as a shield. The store employee told the victim that he would get the gun if the victim let him go. The victim did so, but the store employee did not get the weapon. The victim grabbed at the store manager but the store manager pulled away. Walker then shot the victim.
The victim confirmed much Taylor's version of events. When Taylor's sister went in the store, he heard Walker yelling at him and thought there was going to be a fistfight. He approached Walker with his fists raised and then saw that Walker had a gun. The victim testified that he did not have a gun or indicate that he had one. The victim testified that he was afraid and tried to use both the store employee and manager as shields and kept telling them to get the gun from Walker. He indicated that the store manager's shirt ripped when the store manager pulled away. The victim then grabbed the store employee, and, once he let go of the store employee, Walker said, "I got you now[.]" Walker then shot the victim.
The store manager testified that he could not remember many of the details of that night. He stated that, shortly after he told the victim and Walker to leave, he heard screaming outside the store. The store manager went outside and saw Walker and the victim were arguing. The victim grabbed the store manager from behind and the store manager felt something pinching him on the back. The victim tore the store manager's shirt and the store manager got away. When the store manager looked back, he saw something black in the victim's hand that looked like a gun. He heard the shots but initially testified that he did not see who shot whom. However, he later testified that he thought Walker shot the victim and ultimately told police the same. The store manager took the gun, which was the store's gun, from Walker and put it in the tank of the toilet so no one else would use it. The store manager testified that, when initially questioned by police, he did not tell the truth as he was afraid of retaliation. He initially denied handling the gun after the shooting, but later that night revised his statement and told police where to find the gun. The weapon was recovered from the toilet tank.
The store employee testified that he routinely carried the store's gun on his person and had it on him the night of the shooting. After the store manager closed the window, the store employee walked out with Walker and saw Taylor's sister get out of the car and then the victim. The store employee saw a gun on the victim's person. The victim was yelling and the store employee told Walker that it was not worth it, but the victim kept egging Walker on and calling him names. The victim and Walker began yelling at each other. The victim began tapping on his gun and Walker pulled the gun from the store employee's person. The store employee and Walker kept telling the victim to get in his car and leave. The store employee kept trying to diffuse the situation, inserting himself between Walker and the victim and sometimes holding Walker back. The victim kept asking the store employee not to let Walker kill the victim and Walker stated that, "As long as you don't reach for the gun, nobody is going to shoot." Walker was then aiming the gun at the victim and telling him to get in the car. According, to the store employee, at this point, the victim still had not pulled out his own weapon, although he kept tapping it. The victim then used the store employee as a shield. The store employee broke free and then heard Walker yell, "He's about to shoot." The store employee then heard gunshots but did not see who shot whom. Neither the store employee nor the store manager told police about the victim having a gun.
Walker testified in his own defense. He testified that he shot the victim because he was afraid for his own life and for the lives of those around him. When he walked out of the store, he was planning to leave and did not have a gun. However, then he saw the car pull around and the victim get out of the car. He indicated that he thought that, since the victim had a gun and came to the front of the gas station after being told to leave, the victim came back "to do something." He believed that the store employee and store manager were in danger as well.
The victim and Walker started yelling at each other and the store employee started pushing Walker and trying to hold him back. Walker testified that when he saw the victim grab for his gun, Walker grabbed the gun off the store employee. Walker raised the gun and pointed it at the victim when the victim dropped his hand towards his gun. He told the victim, "Don't grab that gun." Walker then kept telling the victim to get in the car and leave. Walker also confirmed that the victim had grabbed both the store manager and the store employee. After the store employee broke away from the victim, Walker looked back at the victim and saw the victim pulling the gun off of him. Walker averred that the only reason he shot was that he saw that the victim "took the gun off his waist and  began to raise his gun up." Walker felt that he was about to be shot and so fired his own weapon and then fled.
As he was fleeing, he encountered a family acquaintance who drove him to his girlfriend's house. The acquaintance testified to being at the gas station and seeing a dark-skinned male pull a gun from his waistband. She then noticed that Walker was also there in the vicinity. When she heard shots she became concerned Walker was shot, but later realized that he had not been injured. When Walker got to his girlfriend's house, she had been cleaning the house. He testified that he washed his face and used the water she had been cleaning with to wash his hands. He denied that his intention was to destroy evidence.
Ultimately, police arrived at his girlfriend's house and began surveilling the property. When family members of Walker arrived the police asked one of them to call and ask Walker to surrender himself. He willingly came out. Upon searching the premises, police noticed a strong odor of bleach in the house and at least one officer testified that Walker's hands smelled like bleach. When interviewed by police, Walker indicated he was home all night. Particles highly indicative of gunshot residue primer were found on Walker's hands.
Two security videos from the gas station were also played for the jury and admitted into evidence. Each video depicts a different angle of the scene and contains the footage of the argument outside at the gas station. No footage from the drive-thru window was available. The sum of the two videos depicts Walker storming out of the gas station store as the store employee holds the door open for Taylor's sister to enter the store. At that point, the victim had already exited the car and was near the pumps. The store employee and store manager follow after Walker and the victim moves behind one of the cars. The store employee appears to be trying to keep Walker from going towards the victim. Taylor exits the vehicle and India and India's friend are seen running from the scene. The victim is then standing with a vehicle between him and Walker. The victim appears to yell something, hits the car, and gestures in Walker's general direction and then moves around the car. The victim appears to try to move towards Walker and the store manager intervenes. At this point, Taylor has reentered the vehicle and begins to drive around the station to where the argument is moving. The victim then grabs the store employee and appears to use him as a shield. The argument then partially moves out of view, but near the end, Walker can be seen pointing and firing a weapon. It then appears that Walker and the store manager exchange something.
From the videos it cannot be seen whether the victim had a weapon or when Walker acquired a weapon. However, it does appear from the videos that, at the beginning, Walker exited the store in an aggressive, motivated manner and that the store employee was trying to stop Walker from continuing towards the victim.
After a thorough review of the entire record, we cannot say the jury lost its way in finding Walker guilty of felonious assault. The jury was presented with competing versions of the events and was in the best position to make credibility determinations. State v. Stark, 9th Dist. Wayne No. 14AP0050, 2017-Ohio-873, ¶ 20. If the jury believed the victim's version of events, the evidence would not support that Walker acted in self-defense; according to the victim, he did not have a gun, and Walker thus shot an unarmed man. Walker's conviction for felonious assault is not against the manifest weight of the evidence simply because the jury chose to believe the victim's version of the events. Id. Given the evidence before it, the jury was free to reject that Walker acted in self-defense.
Walker's first assignment of error is overruled.
THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN NOT GIVING THE JURY AN INSTRUCTION ON SELF DEFENSE AS TO COUNT 3, HAVING A WEAPON UNDER DISABILITY.
Walker argues in his second assignment of error that the trial court erred in failing to give a self-defense instruction with respect to the count for having weapons while under disability. Under the circumstances of this case, we do not agree.
At the close of the evidence or at such earlier time during the trial as the court reasonably directs, any party may file written requests that the court instruct the jury on the law as set forth in the requests. * * * The court shall inform counsel of its proposed action on the requests prior to counsel's arguments to the jury and shall give the jury complete instructions after the arguments are completed. * * * On appeal, a party may not assign as error the giving or the failure to give any instructions unless the party objects before the jury retires to consider its verdict, stating specifically the matter objected to and the grounds of the objection. Opportunity shall be given to make the objection out of the hearing of the jury.
Thus, "'[g]enerally, a request for a special jury instruction must be made in writing.'" State v. Bellomy, 9th Dist. Summit No. 12CA0075-M, 2013-Ohio-3187, ¶ 6, quoting State v. Yates, 9th Dist. Summit No. 21239, 2003-Ohio-2956, ¶ 18, citing State v. Franklin, 62 Ohio St.3d 118, 128, 580 N.E.2d 1 (1991).
Here, Walker's counsel objected to the trial court's decision to include a sentence in the instructions that stated that "[t]he previously given instructions regarding self-defense and defense of another do not apply to Count Three [having weapons while under disability]." The trial court went on to clarify that earlier, off the record, Walker's counsel objected to the trial court's conclusion that self-defense and defense of others were not applicable to a charge of having weapons while under disability. The trial court noted that "[t]here was some discussion regarding the arguable applicability of the [S]econd [A]mendment to the defendant's right to take hold of a weapon at hand in a situation which he was engaged in a self-defense activity." The trial court then concluded that "the defense of self-defense is not applicable to the weapon under disability charge, and  overrule[d] any request of the defense related to the applicability of the [S]econd [A]mendment under those circumstances." This Court has not yet been faced with a scenario requiring us to expressly adopt or reject the position that self-defense applies to a charge for having weapons while under disability. See State v. Smead, 9th Dist. Summit No. 24903, 2010-Ohio-4462, ¶ 12 ("Even if we were to agree with Smead's contention that an individual has an inalienable right of self-defense in his home that could qualify as a defense to the charge of having a weapon under disability, we conclude that the trial court did not err by so failing to instruct the jury."); State v. Dossie, 9th Dist. Summit No. 19935, 2000 Ohio App. LEXIS 5538, 2000 WL 1752241, *2 (Nov. 29, 2000), overruled on other grounds, State v. Fischer, 148 Ohio App.3d 126, 2002-Ohio-3026, ¶ 16, 772 N.E.2d 193 (9th Dist.) (noting that this Court has never explicitly recognized the self-defense exception to R.C. 2923.13 outlined in State v. Hardy, 60 Ohio App.2d 325, 397 N.E.2d 773 (8th Dist.1978)). Under the circumstances of this case, we likewise do not have to do so in this instance.
Even if we were to adopt the position that self-defense could be applicable to a charge for having weapons while under disability, Walker's counsel's proposed instruction for self-defense/defense of others for the charge for having weapons while under disability is not in the record. While it is possible that Walker's counsel sought to have the instruction that was given for counts one and two given for count three, from the trial court's summary of the off-record discussion, it appears that Walker's counsel also sought to have language about the Second Amendment included in the proposed self-defense instruction with respect to count three. Without the proposed instruction in the record, we cannot evaluate whether the instruction would have been appropriate. Thus, even if this Court were to disagree with the trial court that self-defense can be applicable to a charge for having weapons while under disability, absent being able to review the proposed instruction, we cannot say the trial court committed reversible error in declining to give any instruction on the issue. See Bellomy at ¶ 8 (concluding that without the proposed instruction in the record, the Court could not determine that the trial court committed reversible error in failing to give the instruction).
Walker's second assignment of error is overruled.
Walker's assignments of error are overruled. The judgment of the Summit County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed.
There were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
We order that a special mandate issue out of this Court, directing the Court of Common Pleas, County of Summit, State of Ohio, to carry this judgment into execution. A certified copy of this journal entry shall constitute the mandate, pursuant to App.R. 27.
Immediately upon the filing hereof, this document shall constitute the journal entry of judgment, and it shall be file stamped by the Clerk of the Court of Appeals at which time the period for review shall begin to run. App.R. 22(C). The Clerk of the Court of Appeals is instructed to mail a notice of entry of this judgment to the parties and to make a notation of the mailing in the docket, pursuant to App.R. 30.

The Edmonton identical triplets jailed for a total of 46 years over firearm offence
The brothers are the final three of eight defendants charged for possession of a firearm and intending to pass it to a dangerous criminal
Updated 20:31, 8 SEP 2019
The triplets (left to right): Ralston, Reiss and Ricky Gabriel
Three identical triplets have been jailed after their DNA led detectives to identify that they had been in possession of a firearm, intending to pass it to a dangerous criminal.
The three from Edmonton were charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm within intent to endanger life in relation to an incident on April 10, 2017 and were sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court on Friday, September 6:
Reiss Gabriel, 28, of Church Street, was jailed for 18 years.
Ralston Gabriel, 28, of Galahad Road, was jailed for 14 years.
Ricky Gabriel, 28, of Church Street, was jailed for 14 years.
The brothers are the final three of eight individuals charged in relation to this case. The other defendants previously charged and sentenced are:
Aron Thomas
Aron Thomas has been jailed for life
The 32-year-old of Georges Road, Highbury was charged with two counts of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to incidents on April 10 and April 27, 2017.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Elyace Hamchaoui
23-year-old Elyace Hamchaoui
Hamchaoiu, 23, of Bowes Road, East Barnet was charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to an incident on April 10, 2017.
He was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment.
Hamza Ahmed
Hamza Ahmed has been jailed for 16 years
Hamza Ahmed, 21, of Ashbrook Road, Archway was charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to an incident on April 10, 2017.
Joshua Miller
Joshua Miller has been locked up for 17 years
27-year-old Miller, of no fixed address was charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to an incident on April 27, 2017.
He was sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment, to run consecutively to a sentence of three years and six months for possession with intent so supply Class A drugs which he is currently serving.
The group were jailed following an intelligence-led investigation carried out by officers from the Met's Trident and Area Crime Command.
On April 10, 2017 officers conducted surveillance in Durban Road, Tottenham. They observed a mini cab attend the location and a male – later identified as Ahmed – exited and met with another unidentified male.

A short time later he returned carrying a large holdall, which was placed in the rear of the taxi. He returned to the male and received another rucksack which he placed on his back before getting into the taxi.
The vehicle drove away but was stopped by armed police shortly after. Officers searched the bags and found two firearms and associated ammunition. Examination of the weapons identified one to be an Uzi sub-machine gun, with an accompanying silencer and ammunition, and the other to be a self-loading pistol with accompanying ammunition.
When interviewed Ahmed told police he believed he was involved in a drug deal, and denied any knowledge of the firearms, but based on the evidence and intelligence available to police he was charged.
The sub machine gun seized by police
Officers carried out further surveillance on April 26, 2017 in Stapleton Hall Road, Stroud Green. They witnessed Thomas enter an address and exit shortly after, leaving in a vehicle driven by Miller.
Armed officers intercepted the vehicle carrying Thomas. He was found to be in possession of a bag which contained a loaded revolver and multiple rounds of ammunition.
Defendant jailed in 2011 after firearm shot into crowd at Tube station
Thomas was on licence at the time of the offence having been jailed for 11 years in 2010 for his involvement in the discharge of a firearm into a crowd of people outside Wood Green Tube station in which one man received gunshot wounds.
Analysis of the firearm seized from Thomas revealed it to be a revolver. Ammunition for the particular type of revolver is no longer available, however, the accompanying rounds had been modified to be compatible.
Following the arrest of Ahmed on April 10, 2017, officers carried out substantial inquiries which led them to identifying Hamchaoui who had been working as an intermediary between Ahmed and Thomas.

Consequently, officers arrested and charged both Thomas and Hamchaoui as part of the conspiracy.
Thomas, Miller, Ahmed and Hamchaoui stood trial for five weeks in May 2018. They were convicted of possession of firearms with intent to endanger life.
Following the conviction of Ahmed, Thomas, Hamchaoui, and Miller officers conducted further forensic examination of the pistol recovered from the incident on April 10. This revealed DNA which was linked to identical triplets – the Gabriel brothers. The DNA recovered was not attributable to just one of the triplets, so officers were required to carry out extensive inquiries to identify which of them was complicit.
Officers were able to evidence that all three Gabriel brothers were involved, leading them all to be convicted of the offences on Tuesday, July 2, 2019.
'I am proud of the dedication' of officers
Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Driss Hayoukane from the Met's Specialist Crime Command said: "Aron Thomas is a dangerous individual who made a concerted effort to acquire firearms, intending to cause harm to others. At the time of committing this offence, Thomas was on licence having been released from an 11 year sentence for recklessly firing a weapon into a crowd of innocent people.
"He clearly has no regard for the safety of any member of the public, and no respect for the criminal justice system. I am pleased the sentence he received in this case demonstrates the seriousness of his offending.
"This lengthy investigation which has spanned many years showcases the police's commitment to bringing those who involved in offending to justice. The success of this case would also not have been possible without the hard work of the Crown Prosecution Service's prosecution team, led by Kerry Broome.

"I am proud of the dedication my officers, notably DS Nick Harvey and DC Irfan Khalifa, showed in tracking down and linking the Gabriel triplets to this case. The trio tried to exploit their identical DNA and appearance to try and evade the consequences of their actions, but the hard work of the investigation team prevented their attempts. Through their actions in this case, these men have thrown away promising careers and futures.
"As the judge stated at sentencing, these weapons were destined to be used by dangerous criminals. This case should send a clear message to anyone considering possessing or attempting to obtain a firearm that we will identify you and bring you before the courts. I would urge anyone who has any information about someone involved with gun crime to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, they do not ask your name and cannot trace your call. Alternatively in an emergency, call 999."
Reiss Gabriel was also sentenced for a separate charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to an incident on July 26, 2018 and two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He admitted the offences and was jailed for six years, four years and three years and six months respectively to run concurrently to the sentence for the main conspiracy.

WWE Issues Statement And Fines Lars Sullivan Following Historic Online Comments
Sullivan will now be required to complete sensitivity training
Image via Newsweek.com
Lars Sullivan isn't a well-liked wrestler at present since the WWE Universe has managed to unearth a number of homophobic and bigoted comments that the former NXT star made before he was signed to the company more than a decade ago.
Sullivan was reported to have made the comments between 2007 and 2013 with most of them coming to light back in November before Big E's reaction to the most recent ones on Twitter has seen many of them draw the attention of WWE's sponsors, which have forced them to act.
Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a bigot & working in a company that is now filled with minorities.
— Florida Man (@WWEBigE) May 8, 2019
According to report by Forbes, WWE has fined Sullivan $100,000 and released the following statement via email.
"WWE supports a culture of inclusion regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual orientation, and we are committed to embracing all individuals as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers, and fans worldwide.
Dylan Miley (aka Lars Sullivan) will be fined $100,000 and required to complete sensitivity training for offensive commentary uncovered from his past. WWE will also facilitate meetings for Dylan with community organizations to foster further discussion around the power of social media and the impact of your words."
It is also reported that Sullivan will now be required to complete sensitivity training in the hopes that this will help when it comes to any comments he decides to share in the future.
This is a somewhat delayed reaction from WWE since fans have been pushing for the company to fine or punish the former NXT star for the past few weeks, but it's a step in the right direction since it shows that there is no place for these kinds of comments.
Given the backlash that WWE faced throughout the Hulk Hogan racism controversy and the fact that they continue to travel to Saudi Arabia on a regular basis despite the way that the country is viewed by the rest of the world, this was the best course of action that WWE could take and now hopefully the issues surrounding "The Freak" will calm down online.

Enmax prepares framework to improve data sharing
Shane Schick
The City of Calgary's energy utility says a project to prepare its IT systems for deregulation four years ago will more than prepare it for any changes the province's market operator makes to the way data is handled.
Enmax Corp.,
the wholly-owned Calgary subsidiary which handles the city's electricity and natural gas needs, is among many utilities awaiting a decision this week from the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) about how to improve the integrity of information processed between various industry players.
""They're now looking at implementing a hub concept similar to the one that Ontario is using, whereby every transaction is transmitted electronically to the hub, and the hub essentially conducts a continuous and ongoing audit,"" said Peter Graham, Enmax's wholesale services team lead – business integration. ""Once they're satisfied that the transaction is indeed valid, they will pass it forward. So they act almost as a mail server.""
AESO has been struggling with the potential cost of such a system, Graham said, but Enmax already addressed the security and accuracy of its data when the industry faced deregulation in 2000. That's when the firm began enabling online data transfer over a secure FTP server, a project that was outsourced to Toronto-based Soltrus Inc.
""If you get a new retailer, the retailer has to notify the wires company that they have a customer at a site,"" he said. ""We wanted to go SSL, and one of the other wires companies wanted to go with the old-fashioned EDI, and that was because they already had an account. I don't know if they wanted us to share the pain, but boy, the price was just stratospheric.""
At the time, Enmax was actually dealing with CIBC, which launched Soltrus as a joint venture with Telus two years later. Soltrus has put Enmax on a digital certificate authentication system based on VeriSign technology. This helps deal with a common pain point among enterprise firms, according to Soltrus vice-president Anthony Santilli.
""When they're looking to address some of those constraints — the auditability, being able to track whose gotten access to what information — our solution is appropriate for that,"" he said. ""They can prove, or at least shown due diligence in making sure that only the appropriate people have access. User name and passwords just don't cut it anymore.""
The short timeline for the project put a lot of pressure on Enmax, Graham said.
""It was awful,"" he said. ""We had 15 months to develop and deploy seven major online apps that had to be capable of handling large volumes securely,"" he said. ""The audit requirements, because we are a regulated industry, are pretty stringent . . . I feel as if I've been almost under a continuous audit since the day we went live.""
Although the AESO plan would simply mean a slight change in the way Enmax routes transactional information, it may shake up the rest of the industry, Graham added. Many firms are still working with legacy mainframe applications, with two only supporting batch transactions.
""It is such a horrendously complicated industry. I've always had my doubts as to whether we could really make this work,"" he said. ""Alberta's just about at the point now where we have an open and functional electrical industry.""
Enmax got an early start in its preparations for deregulation when it developed a customer information system based on technology from Toronto-based Enlogix CIS.

1. Xactimate® is a computer software system for estimating construction costs that has become widely used by insurance companies in the past decade. Insurance company adjusters use it to calculate building damage, repair and rebuilding costs. Adjusters use Xactimate to generate loss estimates and claim settlement offers. Xactimate® is, however, generic software that is best suited to tract homes. If your property is custom-built, historic, or located in a high value area, Xactimate's numbers will likely not be sufficient to reimburse you for the actual cost of repairing and replacing your specific home. Underestimating on material costs and lowballing resulting from the improper use of Xactimate has factored into many claim disputes and lawsuits, particularly in the aftermath of Gulf Coast hurricanes.
2. Contractors and builders generally do not use Xactimate – they base their cost estimates on sub-contractor bids and their general knowledge about the costs and time involved in a potential job. Many contractors/builders are unfamiliar with Xactimate. So if your contractor/builder is participating in settlement discussions with you and the insurance company's adjuster, he or she may be at a disadvantage. In addition, it is hard to compare an Xactimate estimate "apples to apples" with a more traditional contractor/builder estimate based on sub-bids.
3. The best approach to getting a fair claim settlement is for a property owner or their representative to get an independent estimate for repairing or replacing damaged or destroyed property from a reputable licensed construction professional who is trained in Xactimate®, even if they do not use Xactimate® to create their own estimates. This will level the negotiation playing field for the property owner. It is often beneficial for the homeowner's contractor to obtain subcontractor bids to help support and document their estimate.
4. Proper training is essential with Xactimate® , and if your adjuster and/or the contractor he/she hired to create an Xactimate® estimate for your property did not know how to use the software properly, the result will probably be wrong. Generally it will be on the low side.
5. Xactimate®'s pricing is often too low and too generic. The pricing is based on a median survey that does not always reflect up-to-date market conditions. Your insurance company is likely to turn an Xactimate® estimate into the settlement offer they make to you. That means that if the basis of that estimate was inadequate or incomplete the resulting settlement offer will leave you short of what you are entitled to under the policy.
6. A competent adjuster will supplement an Xactimate® estimate with bids from subcontractors. It is easy for an adjuster to add in a comment in a specific area that explains or details any additional increase in cost. It may be important to explain why the costs are higher by pointing out the uniqueness of a building component. As an example, a property may not be easily accessible and certain construction equipment, such as a backhoe, cannot gain access to the property. A note explaining the necessity of this type of additional cost will be useful for anyone reviewing the estimate.
7. Xactimate® estimates look impressive because they are well-organized, professional-looking and lengthy, but they are often inaccurate. A computer cannot replace the knowledge of a local, experienced construction professional as to the materials, time and labor costs associated with a job.
8. If you, your contractor, your licensed public adjuster, or your attorney are not familiar with Xactimate®, you are likely to be at a disadvantage in negotiations/mediation with your insurer. Insurance companies often want estimates to be broken down in the detailed format provided by Xactimate®. If your estimate cannot be compared apples to apples with an Xactimate® format, you will have a hard time convincing an insurance company to pay what you are owed.
9. Xactimate® software is owned/sold by the Insurance Services Office, ("ISO"), a member of the Verisk Analytics family of companies which perform a wide range of modeling, rating and policy related services for the insurance industry.


So last 2 days i have been charged 4times for 0.88eur which is 1dollar. My money has gone to CLOUD9IDE INC SAN FRANCISCO. I have never even entered my card details in this website and im really confused. I already contacted my bank and they told me that i should order a new card. What should i do?
Did you do any transaction or did you add your credit card information during the shopping process?
This wouldn't be possible without anyone's consent. I also read something similar related to this on Finance Police. You should immediately report the customer support.
I am also facing the same problem. I had not entered any card details in this website and i'm getting charged.
I have no idea what should i do?

Q: How do I create a table which has values defined by the output of a "for" loop in Lua? I'm currently writing an Addon for World of Warcraft, but I've run a bit of a basic lua problem. The gist of it is, I want to reduce the following elements inside this for loop into a single line.
Currently, I am using WoW's api command of "SetAlpha(0)" (which just hides the frame in game) on a list of frames that share the same name except for the number at the end. ActionButton1Name, ActionButton2Name, ActionButton3Name, etc.
I also have to do the same thing to four other lists, each also having 12 different versions of themselves MultiBarBottomRightButton1Name, MultiBarBottomRightButton2Name, etc.
Essentially, I'd like to take what I currently have:
for i=1, 12 do
    ["ActionButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)
    ["MultiBarBottomRightButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)
    ["MultiBarBottomLeftButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)
    ["MultiBarRightButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)
    ["MultiBarLeftButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)
end

SetAlpha is specific to World of Warcraft's API, so disregard that as needed.
And transform it into something where I have all the [ ] elements in their own table somewhere else, and then later use that index
local buttonNameIndex = function()
    for i=1, 12 do
        ["ActionButton"..i.."Name"]
        ["MultiBarBottomRightButton"..i.."Name"]
        ["MultiBarBottomLeftButton"..i.."Name"]
        ["MultiBarRightButton"..i.."Name"]
        ["MultiBarLeftButton"..i.."Name"]
    end
end

for i,v in ipairs(buttonNameIndex) do
v:SetAlpha(0) end

However, the above function didn't seem to work, in that the terminal was spitting out an error of having an unexpected symbol near the do of the 2nd line.
As to why I'd like to do this: I'll be doing a lot more with that list of frames later on, so it'd be nice to have them all combined into a single table.

A: If these are global variables, use expressions like this:
_G["ActionButton"..i.."Name"]:SetAlpha(0)

which access a global variable from a dynamically created name.

First OSCE Russian-language live exercise to fight human trafficking for responders from Europe and Asia kicks off in Astana
ASTANA 24 September 2018

ASTANA, 24 September 2018 – An OSCE-organized week-long simulation exercise on how to identify and rescue victims of human trafficking kicks off today at the Regional Hub for Countering Global Threats in Astana. More than 50 professionals from law enforcement, labour inspectorates, financial investigative units, prosecutorial offices, NGOs and social services from 14 OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation are participating in the live-action training.
Delivered for the first time in the Russian language, this pioneering training exercise offers front-line responders the opportunity to simulate real-life anti-trafficking responses, using live actors to create trafficking scenarios. Fictitious brothels, a construction site and an agricultural field have been re-created to simulate cases of labour and sexual exploitation, including of child victims.
"By gathering experts from different fields, including financial investigation units, social and migration services, lawyers and NGOs, we are working toward bringing together a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary network of professionals across the OSCE region," said Valiant Richey, OSCE Acting Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings. "Our simulation exercises are realistic, practical and cross-dimensional to effectively enhance participating States' ability to identify victims, investigate suspected trafficking cases and prosecute exploiters and perpetrators."
Previous training courses have left participants, including Italy's Public Prosecutor David Mancini, praising the approach as "truly unique" and the results as "genuinely extraordinary" with enhanced learning outcomes as "the border between reality and simulation becomes increasingly blurred for all participants".
Andrey Lukin, Deputy Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan, said: "International co-operation is extremely important. The efficiency of the anti-trafficking response depends on the co-ordinated and coherent work of practitioners from different countries. The goal of this simulation training, involving participants from 14 countries, is to rally all of us and to unite our efforts to combat this crime."
This project is part of ongoing efforts by the Office of the OSCE Special Representative for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings to facilitate better identification and assistance of trafficking victims through a new, multi-national and cross-sectoral approach.
The simulation exercise in Astana, supported by the OSCE field operations, including the Programme Office in Astana, follows four similar exercises in Vicenza, Italy. A further exercise will be conducted in Vicenza in December 2018.

The Zambian Seed Control and Certification Institute (SCCI) is a department under the Zambian Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and one of its functions is the implementation, registration and enforcement of Plant Breeders' Rights in Zambia.
Zambia has a Plant Breeders' Rights Act No. 18 of 2007 which came into force on 31 August 2007. This Act provides for protection of Plant Breeders' Rights by registration of plant varieties and to regulate matters of plant variety ownership and use. However, when this Act of 2007 came into force, no Regulations were promulgated. In the absence of Regulations, the Zambian Seed Control and Certification Institute was unable to accept and process applications for Plant Breeders' Rights.
On 13 May 2011 the Zambian Plant Breeder's Rights (Forms and Fees) Regulations, 2011 (Statutory Instrument No.46 of 2011) came into effect. However, only in October 2011 was the Zambian Seed Control and Certification Institute in a position to start accepting and processing applications for Plant Breeders' Rights. Since then a number of Plant Breeders' Rights applications have been filed and published for opposition purposes.
The Zambian Plant Breeders' Rights Act No. 18 of 2007 provides for the granting of rights in respect various prescribed plants listed in Schedule 3 of the Regulations.
Zambia is not a member of the UPOV Convention.

Q: Coin flipping program that prints percentage for either heads or tails/python So I'm new to coding and I'm trying to write a coin flipping program. It has to flip the coin 1000 times and give the percentage for heads, then I have to flip it 50000 more times and get the percentage for heads again. This is all I have right now I have no idea where to go from here.
def flipCoin():
  heads=0
  for i in range(1000):
    coin=random.randint(1,2)
    if random.randint==1:
      print ("Heads")
      heads+=1
      percent=(heads/10)*100
      print (percent)
    else:
      print

A: Here's the gist of the code you're trying to write:
flip a coin
see if it's heads, add to a global counter
divide global counter by total number of tries (this is the percentage)

All you've gotta do is do it for both 1000 tries and 50000 tries. From the code snippet you already posted, you've got the flipping and the counting right - now just fix the percentage and run it for both 1000 and 50000 attempts. :) Let me know if you have any questions.

A: A good way to do this would be to add a parameter to your function.
For example, you can define your flipCoin() function with the parameter num_of_flips
def flipCoin(num_of_flips):
    # function body

Then, whenever you call the function. You can pass in values as arguments. Like so:
flipCoin(100) # flip coin 100 times
flipCoin(5000) # flip coin 5000 times

Here's my full flipCoin() function:
def flipCoin(num_of_flips):
    heads = 0
    for i in range(num_of_flips):
        coin=random.randint(1, 2)
        if coin==1:
            heads += 1

    percent = heads / num_of_flips
    print(percent)

flipCoin(100) # flip coin 100 times
flipCoin(5000) # flip coin 5000 times

Also, you need to get your math right for percent. Percent should equal heads divided by total flips. That's what I've done in the code above.

A: Hi there and welcome to stackoverflow.
First thing: since you need to flip a coin n number of times, why not reflect that in your function, like?
def flipCoin(times):
    # ...
    for i in range(times):

Next: to make the decision about heads or tails all we need is one option that is 'falsey'(meaning an implicit bool cast evaluates to False) and one that isn't. random.randint(0,1) gives us just that, so we can use this random integer as our condition for heads:
if random.randint(0,1):
    heads += 1

And just print the results:
print('heads percentage: %05.2f' % (100 * float(heads) / times) )

A: I've improved your code. My python knowledge isn't so great either but here it is:
import random

def flipCoin():
    heads = 0 # track heads amount
    tails = 0 # track tails amount
    headspercent = 0 # heads percentage
    tailspercent = 0 # tails percentage

    for i in range(1000): # run the experiment 1000 times
      coin=random.randint(1,2) # assign a value to coin, either 1 or 2

      if coin==1: # if coin value is assigned as 1
          heads+=1 # increase heads count by 1
      else: # if coin value is assigned something other than 1
          tails+=1 # increase tails count by 1

    headspercent = heads / 10.0 # since we're rolling 1000 times, /10 will give percentage
    tailspercent = 100.0 - headspercent # no need to recalculate 100 - heads = tails %

    print("Heads percent: " + str(headspercent)) # printing the values on screen
    print("Tails percent: " + str(tailspercent)) # converting numbers to string by str()

flipCoin() # calling the function

Here's the output of the code:
Python 3.6.1 (default, Dec 2015, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux

Heads percent: 50.6
Tails percent: 49.4

I've explained which line does what in the code. I hope this answer helps you to understand the topic better.
Edit: I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, there are more advanced methods to approach this problem.


To avoid printing issues, we suggest you to send PDF, JPG, TIFF or EPS files with a 300 dpi resolution for pictures and 800 dpi for 1 bit images.
A higher resolution doesn't improve the quality, it only makes the file bigger.
We can also print your variable data (names, serial numbers, barcodes, etc...) on your cards.
To correctly do that, we need from you an Excel file with all fields being split. Download an example here.


A multimedia exhibition using the iconographic method presents the motif of the city in painting, drawing, printmaking, art photography, on posters and films as well as interdisciplinarily – in literature and music. With more than 150 artefacts unfolds a sequence of stories about the city, about its emblems and its synergy of urban contents, from streets and squares, boulevards and bridges, interiors and parks, promenades and peripheries to social and political themes, entertainment and sport, scenes of leisure and of children's games, motifs inspired by the Eros and Thanatos of the slumbering city. In this atmosphere works of the most important artists of the Croatian Modern period are shown, from the Munich circle at the beginning of the 20th century to Socialist Realism and the beginnings of Abstractionism in the middle.
Twelve rooms of the Modern Gallery in the Vranyczany building are the venue for this exhibition, at which contemporary exhibition technology and traditional artistic values live happily side by side. In an innovative set-up anthology-piece works by Kraljević, Račić, and Steiner are on show, together with members of the Prague Four group, the Zemlja group and the Three, among whom one should in particular refer to Uzelac and Trepše, Hegedušić and Postružnik, Babić and Becić, then the first Parisian paintings of Junek, the early Motika, Kopač, Šimunović, the mature Generalić and Krizmanić, the early Prica, Rašica, Kovačević, the legendary photos of Dabac and drawings, prints and paintingsof seldom-exhibited artists such as Leović, Glumac, Filakovac, Venucci and Makanac.
The modern idioms in the works of these artist show that during their cruising of Europe they took on the spirit and modus vivendi of Paris, Vienna, Prague and Berlin and transferred them to Zagreb, Rijeka, Osijek and Split, converting them from their provincial spleen into vital urban centers.
The exhibition Iconography of the City is an attractive artistic experience, and a unique opportunity to discover one of the most exciting sides of a half-a-century-long section of the art of the country.
A look around this exhibition is a real privilege for today's generation, to which the Modern Gallery affords a multitude of images of Croatian and European cities of the first half of the twentieth century.

Concerning Dogs
Lady Jane Francesca Wilde
Some very weird superstitions exist in Ireland concerning the bowlings of dogs. If a dog is heard to howl near the house of a sick person, all hope of his recovery is given up, and the patient himself sinks into despair, knowing that his doom is sealed. But the Irish are not alone in holding this superstition. The Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans all looked on the howling of the dog as ominous. The very word howling may be traced in the Latin ululu, the Greek holuluzo, the Hebrew hululue, and the Irish ulluloo. In Ireland the cry raised at the funeral ceremony was called the Caoin, or keen, probably from χυων, a dog. And this doleful lamentation was also common to other nations of antiquity. The Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans had their hired mourners, who, with dishevelled hair and mournful cadenced hymns, led on the melancholy parade of death. Thus the Trojan women keened over Hector, the chorus being led by the beautiful Helen herself.
The howling of the dog was considered by these nations as the first note of the funeral dirge and the signal that the coming of death was near.
But the origin of the superstition may be traced back to Egypt, where dogs and dog-faced gods were objects of worship; probably because Sirius, the Dog-star, appeared precisely before the rising of the Nile, and thereby gave the people a mystic and supernatural warning to prepare for the overflow.
The Romans held that the howling of dogs was a fatal presage of evil, and it is noted amongst the direful omens that preceded the death of Caesar. Horace also says that Canidia by her spells and sorceries could bring ghosts of dogs from hell; and Virgil makes the dog to howl at the approach of Hecate.
It is remarkable that when dogs see spirits (and they are keenly sensitive to spirit influence) they never bark, but only howl. The Rabbins say that "when the Angel of Death enters a city the dogs do howl. But when Elias appears then the dogs rejoice and are merry." And Rabbi Jehuda the Just states, that once upon a time when the Angel of Death entered a house the dog howled and fled; but being presently brought back he lay down in fear and trembling, and so died.
This strange superstition concerning the howling of dogs, when, as is supposed, they are conscious of the approach of the Spirit of Death, and see him though he is shrouded and invisible to human eyes, may be found pervading the legends of all nations from the earliest period down to the present time; for it still exists in full force amongst all classes, the educated, as well as the unlettered peasantry; and to this day the howling of a dog where a sick person is lying is regarded in Ireland in all grades of society with pale dismay as a certain sign of approaching death.
The Irish may have obtained the superstition through Egypt, Phoenicia, or Greece, for it is the opinion of some erudite writers that the Irish wolf-dog (Canis gracius Hibernicus) was descended from the dogs of Greece.
It is strange and noteworthy that although the dog is so faithful to man, yet it is never mentioned in the Bible without an expression of contempt; and Moses in his code of laws makes the dog an unclean animal, probably to deter the Israelites from the Egyptian worship of this animal. It was the lowest term of offence—"Is thy servant a dog?" False teachers, persecutors, Gentiles, unholy men, and others sunk in sin and vileness were called dogs; while at the same time the strange prophetic power of these animals was universally acknowledged and recognized.
The Romans sacrificed a dog at the Lupercalia in February. And to meet a dog with her whelps was considered in the highest degree unlucky. Of all living creatures the name of "dog" applied to any one expressed the lowest form of insult, contempt and reproach. Yet, of all animals, the dog has the noblest qualities, the highest intelligence, and the most enduring affection for man.

This text was originally published at http://five.agency/solving-the-binding-problem-with-swift/. Check out the original for some nice illustrations!
In a fight for great software architecture, our hands are often tied by the shortcomings of frameworks or languages we work with. Simple tasks like downloading a photo and presenting it in a view, updating a view when underlying data changes, or propagating user input to a model tend to introduce unnecessary complexity to our code.
Problem is that we're so used to thinking in terms of value assignments that we try to apply same approach to situations that require something different. Assignment is a one-time operation. It's low-level. It's good for static values. Assignment is, however, terrible for dynamic data. In order to accommodate prices that change, followers that rise or faces that get prettier we need something of a higher level. We need to think in terms of bindings.
In this post we'll present a solution that makes binding of dynamic data to user interfaces as simple as it gets, giving you an opportunity to focus on what needs to be done, rather than on how to do it.
Let's explore a simple example of dynamic data. Say that we're developing some kind of a discussion thread feature. We'll consider a one-thread scenario. Thread will have a name and a list of posts. Each post will be composed of a body and number of likes. In the real world, models would have more properties like user reference or a date, but we'll ignore those as they are not important for our problem analysis.
We need a view that will display the thread. Let's define a view with a name label and a posts table view composed of a post cells.
What's left is coupling all that together. Say we're doing it from a view controller.
Simple enough. Sure, but there is problem. Users can write posts. Thread name might be updated. Some of the currently visible posts might even get liked. What will happen to our view? Exactly - nothing. Data from the model is assigned once. Any subsequent change to it will not be reflected in the view. Your likes won't count. We don't want that to happen, do we?
OK, but what are our options?
There are a couple of ways to fix that. The simplest and probably dumbest solution would be to expose methods on the view controller that update its state, then give the model the reference to the view controller and have it call exposed methods whenever change occurs. Oh, and also to say goodbye to any future reusability of those components, to simple object graphs, to single responsibility principle and other "unimportant" principles.
A better solution would be to have the model define a protocol that parties interested in observing its changes would implement. In that case, thread view controller would implement the protocol and register itself to the model as an observer (a delegate). This approach makes components more reusable but it's cumbersome to implement, especially if you have many models. When you think about it, it's actually same as the first approach, just wrapped up in nice colors.
Another solution might be to use Key-Value-Observing mechanism to observe data changes and update the view accordingly. While this approach keeps architecture simple, it's quite hard to use and, due to its nature, unsafe in some situations. You need to be vigilant while adding and removing observers. You also need to manually downcast objects, as KVO is not type-safe. Additionally, you can't do "fine grain" observing of an array, so you'd have to reload whole table regardless of the kind of array update.
Of course, you could do something totally different. For example, you could introduce a Functional reactive paradigm to your architecture with ReactiveCocoa framework and use streams and signals to solve the issue. While it's a good solution, it introduces a whole new paradigm as well as the complexity you might not need.
What we would like is something as simple as static assignment, but without the burden of additional protocols, complexities or limitations.
In order to keep the view up to date with the underlying data, we must somehow observe changes in the data and propagate them to the view. There is no way to have some third party observe the changes of a variable, but if you give it some thought, same thing can be achieved by wrapping a variable in an object and updating its value through that object. Now we have a way to intercept changes and notify interested parties of what happened.
In order to do that, we'll use a neat Swift feature called property observers. Additionally, we'll use generics to make our wrapper compatible with any type. Let's call it Dynamic, as it encapsulates dynamic data.
That should be straightforward - a class that encapsulates a value of generic type T. Setting of a value is intercepted by didSet property observer. What's left if to inform interested parties that change occurred, but before we can do that, we need to define what those parties actually are. Time for another round of thinking.
What's on the other end of our problem? A view. All kinds of views. Sometimes even something other than a view, maybe another model or an action. It makes sense to think of that side of the problem as a task that needs to be done - view updated, model changed or an action performed. Tasks can be defined by a closure, and that's how we'll define our task. We'll call that task closure Listener and define it as follows: swifttypealias Listener = T -> Void In other words, Listener is a closure that accepts a value of generic type T and performs some task with received value. It doesn't return anything.
Next, we need to somehow couple our Dynamic and our Listener, so that a Listener gets called whenever a value of a Dynamic changes. We could have a property on the Dynamic that retains a Listener, but that would not be a good idea because we don't want tasks to be owned by the data. We want tasks to be alive when they are needed (for example while the view is alive) and we want them out of our way when we don't need them. For that reason, we'll wrap them in an object.
Nothing too hard. To wrap things up, let's implement actual binding support. For that, we'll need to extend the Dynamic with an array of Bonds and implement didSet property observer so it iterates over that array and calls wrapped closures.
Notice how we've wrapped array elements in a helper class named BondBox. That's because we don't want to strongly reference bonded Bonds. Their life cycle is their own business.
Actual binding is done by appending Bonds to bonds array. We'll do that in bind method of class Bond.
How do we bind it to nameLabel? First we create a Bond with a closure that updates the label.
Mission accomplished. Whenever a value of name property changes, the text of nameLabel will also change to newly set name.
Although presented solution solves the problem of complex architecture and is type-safe, it's still inconvenient to use and potentially unsafe. We have to create Bonds, retain them, write closures and worry about strongly referencing self.
If we think a bit more about it, it becomes obvious that the views themselves should provide Bonds to which we could attach Dynamics. For example, task of updating the label doesn't change, it's always: "update the text property to new value". Doing that manually is bad, but fortunately, Swift allows us to extend existing types with new functionality.
Looks somewhat ugly, but it's actually very simple. As UIKit is an Objective-C framework, we can use associated objects mechanism to associate arbitrary object to a UILabel. In this case, we're associating a Bond object with a closure that updates label's text property. We can do similar thing for other types of views like image views, text views, buttons, sliders, etc.
Much easier and safer, but there is still room left for an improvement. We could define a custom operator that replaces that bind method.
It overloads the -» operator so it can bind a Dynamic to an object that adheres to Bondable protocol (given that generic types match - you cannot bind an image to a label).
you're mistaken. Problem is that likeCount holds an Int value, but label expects a String value. That line would not even compile, which is a good thing as it means that our solution is type-safe. We need to somehow add support for type transformations. In functional paradigm that's called mapping. As Swift partially leans toward the function paradigm, let's see how a map function that operates on a Dynamics would look like.
For the sake of length of this post, let's ignore implementation details. You can look it up on GitHub should you be interested. You will find the link at the bottom.
What map does is converts Dynamic of some type T to a Dynamic of some type U. It does that by applying given closure that converts value from type T to type U. With that, we can solve out like count problem.
Looks almost identical to initial version, but with significant difference in that the data is now bonded to user interface and any change to it will be automatically reflected in views.
There is one problem though - it works great for scalar types, but what about arrays? How do we update the table view when new posts arrive?
When dealing with arrays, we are usually not interested in the change of the array object as whole, rather in changes that occurred within the array itself like insertions, deletions or updates.
var insertListener: (([Int]) -> Void)?
var removeListener: (([Int], [T]) -> Void)?
var updateListener: (([Int]) -> Void)?
It would allow us to register different listeners for different events. Each listener is a closure that accepts an array of indices of elements that have been changed in bonded Dynamic. Removal listener also receives elements that are removed.
It would allow us to populate and bind whole screen with few simple binding operators. Going through the implementation details of how it could be achieved is beyond this post, but concepts are very similar to ones presented for scalar values.
Presented solution boils binding problem down to just one operator. It's simple, powerful, type-safe and multi-paradigm - just like Swift. It allows you to think differently when coupling data with the view and makes the whole process smooth.
You can find implementation of presented concepts on GitHub in a framework named Bond. It includes both implementation of scalar Dynamic and Bond classes, as well as implementation of vector DynamicArray and ArrayBond classes. You can find it at https://github.com/SwiftBond/Bond.

One of my new favorite ways to wear graphic tees is paired with skirts. The craze, apparently, now is to pattern mix. I'm not bold enough for that yet. But pairing a big floral pattern with this white graphic tee is my version of it.
Need a skirt? Here's 3 bold patterns!
If it is too cool, pair it with a denim jacket. I've had this one since high school. No shame people. No shame.
I also have paired with pencil skirts, and denim vest and booties!
Have you started to see all the thankful posts popping up on Facebook and Instagram? I have and one thing I'm grateful for are the three kids in our home.
This little guy is the 3rd baby I didn't know I needed. He's so mellow and has been such a love to his older brother and sister. Watching them interact with them can melt anyone's heart. Luke loves giving his little brother kisses and sometimes sharing his trucks. It's a battle at times but I slowly see the future with them close and sharing jokes or past memories together during holiday dinners.
It's amazing how much kids can ground you and make you feel thankful. They can lift you up incredibly high and break you minutes later. It's a roller coaster but I've learned, as time passes, to try my hardest to just ride it out and feel the grace bestowed upon me.
