What makes a good book a good movie? What makes a good book a bad movie? These are two questions that many people (especially those in the movie making industry) would probably like a clear and concise answer. Unfortunately, everyone knows that there is no clear, concise answer. In some ways, it's a guess, a spin of the roulette, if you will. A gamble.
While this blog post doesn't answer this question (how could it?), I will give my opinion on the subject, since everyone else does. Besides, I need to write about something. It might as well be this.
The movie, "A Wrinkle in Time," which is a book I've read more than once, was recently released.
Now, I'm not going to delve into the reasons why this movie didn't do well. Others have done it better than I could. I have also yet to watch the movie, so I can't truly comment on it. This, however, brought up the question: why do some books make good movies and why do other books-as-movies fail?
I have a few ideas about why this happens. First, I'm going to look at a book that has done well as a movie (or three).
The Lord of the Rings – Peter Jackson and his team turned this book series into a rather successful series of movies. Though he couldn't put every character and plot that was in the book into the movie (Tom Bombadil, where were you?), he did keep the spirit of the movie and characters. Not to mention, there were dramatic moments in the book that transferred well to cinema.
Now, to be honest, not everyone thought it was going to be successful. I remember reading one critic that said it was going to be the most expensive made-for-television movie ever made. Obviously, they were wrong.
But what made it successful?
This seems like commonsense. People who are fans of the book are more than likely going to watch the movie. You may or may not attract others. If you change the movie (not just the plot), you are going to make a lot of that fan base angry. If you can't rely on fans of the book, then who can you rely on?
There is another book series that turned into a successful movie series.
The Harry Potter Movies – Again, when you read the books, the movies capture the same tone, spirit and themes of the original story. The Harry Potter in the book was the same Harry Potter in the movies, even if other elements were altered. So, when people went to see the movie, they were familiar with the characters.
In my opinion, it is rather disrespectful to change certain elements when creating a movie from a book. Now why do some directors do this? I have a few reasons. One, I think they are trying to capture an audience already in place. They are using the name of the book, but that's about it. They don't truly care about the source material. If they did, they wouldn't make such drastic changes. Another reason may be less nefarious and more self-serving. They change the themes simply because they can. It is an arrogance. Another reason may be just to "put their stamp on it." Now, I understand that some elements in a book don't transfer well to cinema. Unfortunately, that is not why things typically change. It is also not the type of change I'm speaking about.
More than once, I've seen a movie diverge from the book and asked my wife, "Why did they change that?" If the reason isn't obvious, then perhaps it should've been left in. That's just my opinion. I'm sure directors have reasons, though not all reasons are legitimate.
Another reason (and the last one for this blog) why I think some books fail as movies is the lack of the visual, lack of the dramatic. This is true especially for the types of movies such as the ones mentioned above. Directors sometimes try to build those scenes into the adaptations of the book, but if they aren't there in the original reading, it's going to fall flat.
I think those types of stories, fantasies, need the climactic-worthy scene. Something that will evoke the emotion in the viewer. Some books don't have that in their stories, and that's fine. It doesn't take away from the book. However, maybe it is not a movie-type of book, which is fine as well. In the end, some books lend themselves to be movies, while others aren't. That doesn't say anything about the quality of the book at all.

I'm a radio nerd. My lifelong addiction to public radio began in middle school and has not abated to this day. In high school, I knew the formats of all the stations my super-cool boom box could pick up, and how to twist the antennae around to clearly tune in each one. I knew the names of the DJs. Sometimes I called the DJs. Radio was a constant for me, and even today, whenever I drive into a new city, I flip through the dial, figuring out which types of stations live where on that comfortingly familiar 87 - 107ish spectrum. Knowing where the pop, country, Latino, hip hop and public radio stations are located helps me locate myself, somehow. It helps me feel like I'm a tiny step closer to knowing the place, to fitting in.
Given this radio love affair, it is not with glee that I join the chorus of people proclaiming The End of Radio As We Know It. But I am part of that chorus nonetheless. Maybe in another post I'll give my two cents on how and why radio is changing -- or must change, if it wants to stay remotely relevant. For now, I'll just note that as with most changes, I think this one brings some things to mourn, but also many things to celebrate.
"When I read trade headlines like "who will lead Radio?" the implication is that there is this silo called "radio" which is independent from and not subject to the constraints of every other silo in the media space known by every other label."
"...the competition for radio isn't simply other radio stations ...[it is] is every media brand that isn't traditional radio. Video games, YouTube phenoms, podcasts, e-books, even the Facebook newsfeed. Competitors to "radio," all.
This is why it's so important for radio brands to focus on content which compels and not simply obsess on diminishing assets like habit, ubiquity, the long-time dominance of the FM band, and what that FM band will look like in cars yet to be made. As choices on the dash become easier and more attractive to use, consumers will embrace them. And "radio's" share of the usage pie will naturally decline, just as today's top-ranked TV shows are only a fraction as popular as the top-ranked shows from bygone days when number one meant a 50-share."
People [who are] thinking about things other than making the best product, never make the best product.
Too many broadcasters work backwards from what "the radio industry needs" or what will sustain and protect the distribution channels powered by towers. Instead, the challenge is to work backwards from the customer, because it's the customer whose attention is being fractured. It's the customer who is now in control.
The customer doesn't care about the future of FM or AM. The customer doesn't care about "radio" per se at all, in fact.
The customer only cares about what's on it.
Because she loves the brands she loves.
And it's up to you to create them."

Socceroos time to shine
by Ross Payne on Oct 12, 2012
The time has come, no more slip ups can be afforded as the Socceroos head to Qatar to face Iraq on Tuesday night in a vital World Cup qualifier.
When Betstar went up on Thursday at $2.02 for Australia punters jumped at the price, it's always hard to say if they're betting with their head or heart but either way the Socceroos are now at $1.95 to claim the crucial win. Iraq's $3.70 for an upset win or you can get $3.45 for a draw.
Betstar has markets for every World Cup qualification zone so don't forget to check out Betstar.com.au throughout the next week.
CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST SOCCEROOS v IRAQ ODDS
To the great distress of Wellington and many teams, the A-League is still kicking around this weekend but really it's a must by FFA to cash in on all the pre-season hype so we can't blame them. It kicks off with Adelaide's first home game of the season as they back-up from an impressive first up win away to Newcastle. The Reds are $1.63 and you'd be brave to back the Wanderers at $5.30 but the Red and Black Black will be stoked with last week's efforts and they will win sooner or later!
CLICK HERE FOR THE WEEKS A-LEAGUE ODDS
The Sky Blues will aim for a maiden win as Ale has his home debut, $2 for Sydney FC against big Emile Heskey and his Jets, they're $3.60 to spoil the party at Allianz Stadium, $3.35 the draw.
Ange returns to Brisbane Saturday Night and expect him to only get a lukewarm reception and not the points. Brisbane Roar will be disappointed not to get anything out of the match last week against Perth but expect them to bounce back here with a number of big in's against Victory. Brisbane $1.72 at Suncorp, Melbourne Victory $4.70 would be a huge boil over with key players
on International duties.
The Red half of Melbourne has scored bragging rights again and they are the only team to stay in the same city during the first two rounds. Heart also have the benefit of facing a significantly weakened Wellington team with their Kiwi's on international duties too. $1.62 seems free money but can Ifill and the lads get it done in Ricki's absense? Unlikely say Betstar punters, $5.30.
Finally, the Mariners head home for the first time and they'll look to improve after their lackluster affair again Western Sydney. $2.04 for the win and Perth's $3.55 to make it six points from six.
Oh so close with our bet for Charity last week… ouch! But maybe we'll have more luck this week with all the internationals… we're going with: Russia +0.5pts (v Portugal) into Australia +0.5pts (v Iraq) into a Draw between Central Coast and Perth in A-League. $5 at $9.53
And finally, punters can get our very generous A-League special this week. You can get Sydney FC into Brisbane Roar titled "Bounce Back special" for $4! (normally $3.44) Max bet $50!

Spay and neuter? Don't spay and neuter? Vaccinate. Don't vaccinate. Choose between a modern or holistic veterinarian. You want to be an educated pet owner, but where do you find information that is not biased in one direction or the other?
Before you can decide, consider the purpose of each decision and educate yourself to understand why there is even a controversy.
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that prevent unwanted litters and passing of unhealthy genes, as well as reducing the risk of certain cancers. Spaying removes the ovaries and sometimes the uterus of females, while neutering castrates males. They will be unable to reproduce.
The controversy comes into play because of some medical concerns that have been linked to spaying and neutering pets when they are too young including those that may be orthopedic, behavioral, immunologic and oncologic, in nature.
Vaccination provides immunity from contagious and/or deadly diseases through inoculation with a live or killed antibody specific to the virus. Many of these diseases can cause a lifetime of chronic medical conditions if the pet survives the disease. In addition, some pet diseases, for example, rabies or leptospirosis, can be passed to their human families with serious or fatal results.
The controversy centers on over-vaccination, especially that of small pets and vaccines that are not reliable or considered necessary. There is inconsistent information about the availability and efficacy of titer tests which measure the presence of antibodies in the blood, thereby indicating whether a new vaccine is warranted. Complicating matters further, there is a lack of agreement between veterinarians about the existing science and little scientific advancement reflected in current municipal laws surrounding vaccination and use of titer testing.
Veterinarians provide medical care to your pet to keep them healthy or to treat and prevent chronic medical conditions. That seems clear and simple enough. So what's the controversy?
Some pet owners feel that modern veterinarians rely too heavily on invasive diagnostic procedures and medication, whereas others feel holistic veterinarians don't employ those techniques when necessary. The reality is that while there are veterinarians who are clearly on one side of the fence or the other, many veterinarians will offer a treatment or maintenance plan that incorporates both conventional and integrative modalities. Talk to your veterinarian – find out what policies and practices their practice promotes or will refer for.
Contributing to the dilemma, pet owners typically do not have access to scientific journals and studies. We can't read them and come to our own conclusions. As such, we have to rely on the interpretation of a veterinarian.
When researching information online, check many places and look for middle ground. Any website that draws a line in the sand that you must do it their way or risk killing your pet should be avoided. Such sites are not well balanced and will skew the studies and reports being presented to achieve the results that favor their position.
This article cannot tell you what is right or wrong for any individual pet or family with individual needs, by taking the time to research all the options and understand the questions, you will be more informed and make better choices on your pet's behalf.

The Film "Hagereseb" Portrays Urban Life in the Eritrean Diaspora
18 Oct 2015 21 Oct 2015 Posted in Home
I sat in silence as I waited to watch a short film that I heard would remind me of home. I arrived in a dark room when the first of a series of short films featured at New York's Independent Film Festival this past week was in session. The solitude of going alone coupled with an extra twenty minutes to viewing gave me time to observe the scene. I occupied the first seat in the second aisle on the left side of the room; my ears and hair caped in black cloth.
Hagereseb is a 38-minute window into the lives of first and second-generation immigrants who live in Yesler Terrace. The film's protagonists 10-year-old Abai and, his sidekick, Mahari has one goal: to buy a new pair of batteries so that Abai could get one last music session with his older brother, Sam before the day's end. Viewers don't ever see Sam in the movie, but they sense his complex nature and status around town through the characters his brother encounters in their neighborhood.
When Abai finds that Eyobe, a neighborhood bully, hustles him out of his change for a firecracker that costed him 'a buck fifty,' Abai yells "Sam is going to f–k you up!" But his brother is nowhere around. He's on his way to Eritrea in Northeast Africa, the country where his family originates. Abai doesn't know when Sam will return.
In the opening scene, we hear the clamor of Hadas, an older relative of Abai, trying to explain the seriousness of Sam's departure as she tidies up the kitchen. Hadas begs Abai to give his undivided attention in Tigrinya – one of the main languages spoken in their native land. Her plea falls on deaf ears, and Abai doesn't bother to break contact with his piano keyboard while attempting to jam batteries into its slot. He is unemotional, detached, cool, and gives off the vibe as if the words to Kendrick Lamar's "B—h Don't Kill My Vibe," come forth to his thoughts.
"Are you trying to get sent home too?" she says with both hands stretched out on the dinner table. Now that she has broken her accent and is speaking plain English, Abai seems more inclined to listen.
In truth, Hagereseb does remind me of home. Not the place where I've lived for the past 23 years but the place where my ancestors have worked, fought, played, and buried some of their loved ones for generations. The vigor of the Eritrean people, notably the Tigrinya tribe (one of nine in the country), is aflame in this short drama which viewers of the Eritrean diaspora recognize in the mannerisms of Yesler's amiable community. Mahari's mom is short and has a routine look embossed in her demeanor. Her werqi or heavy round gold earrings are covered in a white cotton shawl known to Eritreans as the ntsela while her friend brews traditional coffee. I immediately notice a familiar fog, also known as itan in their living room. The incense is believed to deliver peace and love in the home of its coffee drinkers.
When Mahari's mom scolds her son for his disrespect and rascal habits of not doing the 'dishes' or the 'laundry', peppering her rant with English words, her friend pulls out a "Bes'maam Beli" – a saying Tigrinya speakers use when they're faced with a hardship and try to soothe the troubled thoughts of their children and neighbors.
When the lights cut off unexpectedly in an aunt's one-bedroom apartment in Sembel, Asmara, last summer, my cousin cursed whoever she felt was responsible. Her mother responded with a "Bes'maam Beli" conveying to her daughter that the Lord could ease her worries if it were possible for her to stay positive.
When Mahari's mom asked how Sam was doing, Abai sunk his head low. As a typical Eritrean of Christian faith, Mahari's mom told him not to worry and that when she sent her son home, he returned with a new attitude, by learning his language and being embraced by his family, his people.

Many scenes from "Hagereseb" could happen in New York City, the place where my father arrived in the summer of 1983 through a refugee resettlement program. My mother would join him a year later. As a result of their sacrifices and bold attempt at starting a new life in the West, I am a product of a mass exodus and call New York home. In the Eritrean diaspora, we sometimes don't use Tigrinya as the language to communicate our wants and needs but to mock our parents' and know we'll be scolded in return because we think it's funny. We sometimes respond in English when spoken to in our mother language; we sometimes say "Africa" when we refer to our native land even though we mean to say "Eritrea" because Africa is NOT a country. As any adolescent like Abai would understand, we sometimes feel more connected with our American or European or (insert your preferred nationality here) peers and think we are better off without our parents. There's a well-hidden disconnect in not knowing where exactly we come from, or what being Eritrean even means, when the country that we're in tells us that we don't appear to fit the [Black] prototype.
Eyobe, an acquaintance of Sam, shows us how we may disassociate ourselves from our ancestry while being black in America. "[They] gonna have his a– hunting," he says, once Abai breaks the news that his family is sending Sam home. After I heard Eyobe support a common misconception about life in Africa, I thought back to the memories of hurtful jokes in a predominantly Black American schoolyard: "Ariam is an African booty-scratcher!"
All things considered, [we] assimilate quicker than our parents and older relatives do, and we learn that with a new identity we, too, shape the fabric of the communities we settle in.
"The f–k? You don't hear me dawg." – Eyobe
It's 1997 in Seattle, Washington's largest city, and the neighborhood's aesthetics radiate remnants of an urban past nearing the end of a century. Parts of Yesler Terrace may not look the same today as the film depicts, and we don't see all of it, but everything about the first racially integrated housing development built in the 1940s fits the profile of many diverse cities in America. Foremost, the streets are wide and that might be more of a West Coast attribute. People are gathered outside on their porches. Mahari's shirt is loose and reaches his knees. Hip-hop music is blasting outside of an old convertible car. The infamous keyboard that takes viewers on a journey through Yesler Terrace hangs out of an unzipped red Jansport backpack. And the one scene understood the most is the one where Abai and Mahari fake an age-appropriate game of Rock, Paper, Scissors when they notice a cop car pull up and drive down the street. Although their home cultures don't match that of their neighbors, they realize that the world views them as they would any other Black child and we all know Black men and their sons in America face a greater risk of deadly force than their White counterparts.
Although "Hagereseb" is not a foreign film, it is best understood without English subtitles.
It is not a foreign film though it recognizes and cherishes a community that is still foreign to many. Hager meaning "country" and seb with a literal translation of "people" is a short drama that conveys the strength and pride among "people of the country" or the village from one of the world's youngest diaspora groups. Abai's one-liner affirms the title; "I am home".
For Abai, home is Yesler Terrace. For me, it's New York City. But in the hearts of Eritreans anywhere, our nationality is not defined by the number of years we spend at home or abroad but the esteem and regard we have for our native land and its people.

Ariam-let me just say I really appreciate this blog of yours. I feel like everything you are writing about are topics that my sister would have with each other but a hint of more creativity 🙂
I ended up watching this film and that line by Abai, "I am home" really hit me. A lot of these youth in this film remind me of myself and the identity struggles that many of us Eritrean-Americans go through.
Reminds me of the quote,"
So here you are, too foreign for home
too foreign for here
never enough for both".
-Ijeoma Umebinyuo
I look forward to reading more of your blogs Ariam haftey 🙂

I'm happy to serve readers; I'm happy to serve you. Hagereseb is short, but serves a greater good. It encapsulates our struggles as New Americans treading between two worlds; one that we've adapted to and the other to which we belong.

Arsenal told price for Ligue 1 youngster
Aiyeku Timothy
The interest of the English Premier League side Arsenal have gone one step ahead for highly-rated Rennes forward Ismaila Sarr following reports that the North London side have been told the price for the player.
The Gunners have since been linked with the player in a bid to have his signature in the winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks having already made contact with the French Ligue 1 club
However, the North London side have been told that they will have to pay within the sum of £30 million before they can be able to secure his signature.
Real Madrid to contend with Chelsea for 27-year-old in-demand midfielder
A weekly magazine France Football had described Ismaila Sarr as a player who is 'bankable' and also full of talents that have helped him attract the interest he has got from other European sides.
Ismaila Sarr has been linked to Liverpool's Sadio Mane as a result of his style of play and he will cost the Merseyside club way over the £17 million that was paid on him to join Rennes in 2017.
Meanwhile, both North London side Arsenal and Crystal Palace were reported to have shown serious interest in Ismaila Sarr but they have since lost out with the Reds already looking to have won the race.

Arsenal in talks with West Brom over right-back
North London outfit Arsenal are reported to be in talks with West Brom over the sale of star player Carl Jenkinson on a permanent deal.
Carl Jenkinson did not get enough playing time under manager Unai Emery and that seems to have gotten him frustrated to want to leave the club and he has been given an escape route to West Brom.
The 27-year-old was handed just eight games under Unai Emery last season and could be the end of his stay at the club, after coming through the ranks of the youth team.

However, West Brom are not the only club in the chase of Carlo Jenkinson as Celtic are also reported to be interested in his signature because they seek to replace Mikael Lustig, who is set to join KAA Gent.
It is also suggested that Carl Jenkinson will wish to leave the Emirates Stadium as he can no longer be guaranteed of a first-team football under the Spanish boss.
Meanwhile, it has been suggested to Arsenal to let go of the player to be able to cash in for more additions.
It is no longer news that manager Unai Emery only has £40 million to engage with, in this summer trader window.
Arsenal agree deal, announcement on July 7
If emerging reports are to be believed, English Premier League outfit Arsenal and Italian Serie A side Napoli have agreed on a deal for this summer transfer window.
The report claim that Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina will no longer be returning to the Emirates Stadium as he has already agreed to remain at Naples to have regular playing time.
David Ospina spent the entire last season on loan with the Serie A outfit and has made it clear that he would not be leaving the club for a return to the Emirates Stadium.
Napoli get ultimatum over Arsenal goalkeeper
Why Romelu Lukaku's Inter move is still being delayed after agreeing on personal terms
£60m-rated Liverpool Target Open To Spurs Transfer
It can be concluded that David Ospina was sent parking by the coming of Brend Leno from the Bundesliga as the German international was able to find his way into the team to become a first choice stopper.
However, Carlo Ancelotti's side will pay £4million for the Colombia international who proved his worth in a total of eight clean sheets to help Napoli.
With legendary goalkeeper Petr Cech already out of the Emirates Stadium for retirement, it is expected that David Ospina would return back to provide an option to Bernd Leno but the Gunners boss seems not to be interested in working with him and might have an option already.
The Man City deal that Arsenal will benefit from
English Premier League outfit Arsenal are set to benefit from the report that defending champions Man City are set to secure the signature of Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri.
Despite winning the English title for the second consecutive year, The Citizens are still keen to strengthen their squad and have identified the Spanish La Liga outfit player as an ideal man to fit into the team.
It is claimed Man City are willing to pay the sum of €70 million for the star player with a possibility that it would be concluded in coming days.

However, Atletico Madrid will have to find a replacement for the star player and they have identified Arsenal player and Swiss international Granit Xahaka as an ideal option.
Already Granit Xhaka has been linked away from the Emirates Stadium with claims that he is unhappy after enduring a difficult last season.
This could be a blessing in disguise for the North London outfit as they will be able to cash in from the sale of the Swiss international to increase the £40 million that is available for manager Unai Emery to engage in this summer transfer window.
It has been concluded that Arsenal will not reject a bid for Granit Xhaka.
Arsenal to announce Brazilain as first signing
North London outfit Arsenal are reported to be getting set for their first summer announcement with claims that the deal for Brazilian international Gabriel Martinelli is almost confirmed.
Gabriel Martinelli has been on the radar of the Arsenal team for a long time and it was suggested that terms have already been agreed upon by the player while talks between both clubs are ongoing.
It is claimed that Man United had the opportunity to secure the Brazilian starlet two years ago but they had turned down the opportunity to do so when he had a trial at the Old Trafford in July 2017.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to pay about £6 million for the Ituano striker, who celebrates his 18th birthday today.
It is suggested that he could find his way unto the first team just like Mateo Guendouzi did when he first joined Arsenal last summer window.
Gabriel Martinelli is a young talent who has shown big prospect to lead in coming years and that has already been observed by the Gunners boss Unai Emery who is the one keen on the player.
However, Arsenal have got need of more additions in this summer window if they must challenge for titles next season as there are lots of strengthening needed in the squad.
In what seems to be a shock to many, Man United have been linked with a move for Gabon international and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in this summer transfer window.
It is expected that the Red Devils will move in for a number players in the summer transfer window but no one anticipated the interest in the former Borussia Dortmund.
This gives a hint that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang might be available for a move this summer as the Red Devils are not alone in his chase. Two Chinese outfits are reported to have submitted an offer each for the star striker with a proposal to pay him £300,000 weekly.

The development is believed to have unsettled the North London outfit and that is why they consider giving him a new deal as they are not interested in parting ways with the star player this summer window.
With Man United now reported to be interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, it is expected that a bid would be submitted In coming days to have him form part of the building process at the Old Trafford.
But the chances that Arsenal will let go of the former Borussia Dortmund star is slim despite the fact that they will cash in an attractive fee that will help boost their transfer kitty.
Why Arsenal might not sign Meunier this summer
There are fears that North London outfit Arsenal will lose out on the signature of French Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain defender Thomas Meunier in this summer transfer window.
The Gunners team are in search of a right back as they now lack option with the departure of Stephan as a free player.
Hector Bellerin has not been consistent due to the injuries he has had to battle with, leaving the Arsenal defence exposed.
Daily Mail has therefore reported that the Gunners team might be prised out of a move for Thomas Meunier because of the €30m (£27m) fee imposed on the player.
Unai Emery gets condition for improved summer budget

This makes it a setback for Arsenal and manager Unai Emery because they might not have a budget as heavy as that.
It is no longer news that Arsenal management are only handing the sum of £40 million to the Spanish boss to engage in this summer transfer window which is suspected not to be enough, going by the number of needs at the team.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are also keen on the signature of the PSG man as they have had their bid for Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka turned down in this summer transfer window.
Is this player transfer decision a blow to Arsenal?
North London outfit Arsenal are reported to be on the verge of missing out on the signature of summer target Markus Schubert but it is yet to be known if they will be suffering a blow by that development.
It is reported that the goalkeeper is keen to move to Schalke despite the interest from the North London outfit.
Arsenal need for a goalkeeper because of the decision by legendary player Petr Cech to quit the game as a player and move into management.
Also, David Ospina is set to remain with Italian Serie A outfit Napoli on a permanent deal which means Bernd Leno will be the only experienced goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium.
The 21-year-old goalkeeper has therefore been linked to serve as an option to Bernd Leno ahead of the coming season.

However, Daily Mail claims that the Dynamo Dresden keeper will be heading to Schalke to become the first choice goalkeeper rather than remain with his club as an option to No.1 Alexander Nubel.
However, it is unclear if his failure to come to Arsenal remains a blow knowing that the management are willing to work with Martinez as an option for the coming season.
The decision by the goalkeeper could, therefore, be a blessing in disguise for the young Arsenal goalkeeper to help him step up to the ranks.
Arsenal swoop in to sign midfield maestro
The search for a midfielder by north London outfit Arsenal still continues as they are now being linked with a move for Italian Serie A outfit Cagliari star Nicolo Berella.
The Gunners had indicated interest in the star player during the last January winter transfer window but a deal could not be reached for reasons that cannot be explained.
It has now become important for the Gunners team to land the star target as they have parted ways with Wales international Aaron Ramsey in this summer window.
The former Cardiff City star had refused to commit his future to the club before leaving as a free player.

However, Nicolo Barella could help Arsenal cover for the exit if the Wales international to ensure that he is not missed.
It is, therefore, claimed that Serie A side Inter Milan have already made a move for him as they seek to act fast and land the midfielder before Arsenal.
The report claims that Inter Milan have already had their bid of €36million submitted for the 22-year-old midfielder.
Barella, who has been compared with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, is also wanted by Man United, while Chelsea were linked with the Italy international last season.
Announcement imminent – Arsenal agree deal with highly rated defender
North London on outfit Arsenal are reported to have agreed on a deal with Wiliam Saliba on claims that an announcement would be made any moment from now.
L'Equipe report went further to claim that a five-year contract have been agreed with the player and they are concluding paper works for his signature.
The North London outfit are yet to announce any player in this summer transfer window and from this report, the 18-year-old Saint-Etienne defender could be the first.
Reports claim that he is being monitored by Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid and Man United with former manager Jose Mourinho already predicting a bright future for the star defender.

The Portuguese boss likens William Saliba to the Kurt Zouma of Chelsea and will not mind signing him if he eventually hooks up with a new job.
Arsenal have got to strengthen the team this summer transfer window, with the defence as their major focus if they must compete for titles and perform better than the just-concluded season.
Although, they have got a limited budget to engage in the summer window with manager Unai Emery being helped with £40 million.
It is yet to be seen how the money would be spent, but pundits are of the opinion that it is short of the club's demands
It has been a mixed feeling when talks of Mesut Ozil's future is raised at North London outfit Arsenal.
It has been speculated severally that the German international would be sent out of the club for failing to deliver good performance despite his big weekly wage.
It is also believed that he is not liked by manager Unai Emery because of attitude and little contribution to the team.
However, German Football journalist Raphael Hongistein has hinted that the former Real Madrid star could remain and not go anywhere this summer transfer window as speculated.
Liverpool Make Offer For £60m Lille Winger
Interested Clubs Must Pay €40m For Chelsea Target
Chelsea Defender Hints At Hazard Stay
He noted that the bid by the Gunners to have him sold to free their wage bill and also raise money to sign new player might not happen.
Raphael Hongistein again stressed that Mesut Ozil has a contract running with the Gunners and there is no way he can be sent packing.
However, Mesut Ozil has been linked to a move to China and Turkey but that seems not to interest him as he seeks to remain at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will still have a budget of £40 million to be able to sign new players but that would have been more if Mesut Ozil is placed in the market.

Much admired shake and stone residence situated on 1.64 park-like acres with 150 feet of East facing shoreline on Crystal Bay. Private and serene lakeside with bluestone terrace, in ground pool with waterfall, spa and pool house. Fabulous opportunity to update or renovate in the sought after Bohns Point neighborhood.


In Part Two of our coverage of the 2008 King James Classic, we evaluate the top big men in attendance. We take a closer look at a skilled power forward heading to Duke, a 2010 bruiser pledged to Ohio State, three promising centers near the 7'0 mark, and a UCONN verbal who led his team to the 17-U championship.
There is little more that you can ask for physically out of a center prospect then what Riley gives you. Blessed with a big frame, huge wingspan, and ability to run the floor like a gazelle, he constantly gives you flashes of potential that leave you drooling. An explosive leaper, he has very nice timing when attempting to block shots and usually does a good job staying out of foul trouble. The problem with Riley seems to pick and choose when he's going to display his talents, often instead opting to loaf around the court.
The effort that Riley displayed in the two games that we observed him over the weekend was incredibly disappointing, with the big man often seen walking up and down the floor or pouting on the bench. He seemed as if he would have much rather been at home in Detroit than showing his stuff in front of a plethora of high major coaches in Akron, something rather concerning when you basically had a "who's who" of college basketball at each of his games. The mental aspect of things is far and away the area that the center needs to work on most because if he ever develops a desire to play the game at a high level, the possibilities are downright scary.
At a legit 6'11, he is very coordinated for a player his size and shows flashes of solid footwork in the post. His post moves are fluid with a turn-around jumper out of the post going towards his left shoulder proving to be his go-to move at the moment, though he did show flashes of a nice right handed jump hook. When facing the basket, Riley showed a decent jumpshot out to the 14 foot area and made a few gorgeous passes. One would expect a player who is so young and still relatively raw to hesitate when faced with a double team in the post, but Dashonte was able to consistently find the open man when placed in that situation time and time again.
Defensively, there are times when Riley leaves you gawking at how good he can possibly come. With a wingspan looking to be in the 7'4 area and explosive leaping ability, he has already established himself arguably as the top shot blocker this class has to offer. Also able to move well laterally, Dashonte has shown the ability to guard big men who tend to face the basket just as well as he defends traditional centers. Needless to say, its Riley's potential as a stopper on the defensive end that has made him one of the elite prospects in the nation.
Very similar to Texas A&M freshman DeAndre Jordan, Riley has all of the tools to be an elite draft prospect, but very rarely puts them ball together. He will likely have the opportunity to be a first round draft pick after his freshman year based on his upside no matter how he plays, but like Jordan, will probably be better suited to stick around for a few years in college before considering the NBA.
Marshall is a player who is quietly developing into one of the better center prospects the class of 2009 has to offer with his strong play this spring. Standing a legit 7'0 and owning a huge wingspan, he fits the mold in terms of length for a center prospect. Physically, though, there is still a ways to go with Marshall, who weighs only 210 pounds and does not have a massive frame by any means. Despite his lack of physical strength, the Pittsburgh big man is still an explosive leaper and does a fairly adequate job of not getting pushed around defensively.
Like Riley, Marshall's biggest asset lies on the defensive end at the moment. He is more of a true eraser then Riley, doing all of his damage in front of the rim while Riley is able to step out and guard players farther away from the basket. Zeke's timing and length allow him to alter far more shots then he blocks, truly making guards think twice before going into the rim. He really tries to use his body to the best of his ability on the glass as well, boxing out at every available opportunity and attacking potential rebounds with a passion on both ends of the court.
Offensively, there is still a ways to go with Marshall, but he has shown some signs of promise. He has shown flashes of a developing right handed jump hook, has good hands, and has a soft touch around the rim. It is clear that Zeke has had decent coaching throughout the years because his fundamentals are very strong and his footwork isn't that bad either. That is about where his offensive repertoire ends, though.
While he does a very good job of demanding the ball in the post, he still doesn't have the post moves of a high major prospect yet. Aside from his right handed jump hook, Zeke doesn't offer a whole lot when he has the ball in the pivot. Strength and post development will prove crucial in college for Marshall with his desire to attempt to seal and establish position in the post. Added strength would allow him to go right to a drop step and finish at the rim, something he is unable to do right now.
Potentially, Marshall is a name to remember for the class of 2009. He has reportedly came a long ways in development over the last two years and has a good work ethic, leaving optimism for his growth as a player in the future. Expect Zeke's recruitment to really pick up again once July rolls around and college coaches are able to evaluate players again, especially considering this class' lack of true center prospects.
Sullinger led his All Ohio Red team to the 16-U crown with his dominant inside play, easily showing that he was the top player that the 2010 class had to offer at King James. At around 240 pounds, he is far stronger then the majority of his peers, enabling him to establish excellent position in the pivot. The brother of former Ohio State guard J.J. Sullinger, Jared has a fairly advanced skill set in the low post, able to finish around the rim with both hands and showing off promising footwork. He is far more mature physically then most other players in his class, allowing him to overpower opposing players to score through a series of drop steps and power moves to the rim.
Sullinger's perimeter game is still fairly limited at this point, and he is far more comfortable doing his damage within 10 feet of the basket, though he has shown flashes of a developing jumpshot facing the basket over the last year. He is a relatively limited athlete with not a ton of lift off of the ground, relying on his strength and wingspan to get shots up and contest shots on the defensive end. Weight issues have also surrounded Sullinger in the past and was rumored to have weighed as much as 260 pounds at one point this past season.
The future Buckeye may not have the long term upside of some of the athletic big men that this event had to offer, but he is arguably the most productive big man in the class of 2010. Many have compared Sullinger to Alabama forward Richard Hendrix because of their similar bodies and style of play, a comparison that we completely agree with. The opportunity for Sullinger to have the same impact in Columbus that Hendrix had at Alabama is certainly there, if he continues to develop and manages his weight over the next few years.
Originally a member of the class of 2008, it appear that Henriquez will have to spend a year at prep school to resolve some academic issues, therefore making him a part of the class of 2009. His game relies almost strictly off of his physical attributes which include a massive wingspan, nice motor, and the ability to run up and down the floor better than most 6'11 players. The New York post did not back down when matched up against the more heralded Zeke Marshall, aggressively attacking Marshall and drawing four fouls on the big man in a 6 minute stretch of the second half. Surprisingly enough the lefty has a very soft touch when facing the basket, drilling a number of jump shots when facing the basket out to the 17 foot mark. Equally as impressive was the motor and leadership he displayed, a rarity for the majority of seven footers in the AAU game today.
While there are flashes of potential, Henriquez is still incredibly raw on the blocks and owns very little in terms of moves once he receives the ball in the post. His footwork at the point is incredibly undeveloped and he almost never uses his right hand or turns towards his left shoulder. Being a year older then the players he is pegged against, one would hope that he would have a little more polish to his game then he does at the moment.
As one Atlantic 10 coach said "Jordan is a mid-major player right now with high-major potential", and that coach couldn't have been more right. Coaches love his motor and mean streak, so it wouldn't be surprising to see more high major programs jump in the mix for this athletic big man. While far from a finished product, he is a player whose progress is definitely worth tracking in the future.
Oriakhi played a key part in B.A.B.C.'s 17-U championship, making his presence felt around the rim on both ends of the floor. As when we observed Oriakhi previously, he was able to block a number of shots with his nice wingspan while finishing a number of drop off passes at the rim with thunderous dunks. Not shying away from contact, his physical play seemed to bother whatever big man he was facing whether it be while boxing out on the defensive end or sealing his man off and enabling his teammates to have open lanes to the rim.
Effort problems seemed to plague the UCONN commit throughout the weekend, though. Like many big men his age, his intensity dropped dramatically when he wasn't receiving touches on the offensive end. Also Oriakhi's game outside of 10 feet from the basket is extremely limited at this point, something that he surely must improve upon if he hopes to transition to the power forward position at the next level. All of the physical tools are there for the athletic big man to eventually to a nice prospect, but he will have to make improvement upon his skill set to have any chance of maximizing his potential.

Q: Why does g++ require -fpermissive flag for printing iterator value in c++? For the following C++ code :
 cout<<"First symbol is : "<<*it<<std::endl;

I am getting the following error:
Transformtheexpression.cpp:50:42: error: name lookup of 'it' changed for ISO 'for' scoping [-fpermissive]

         cout<<"First symbol is : "<<*it<<std::endl;
                                      ^ Transformtheexpression.cpp:50:42: note: (if you use '-fpermissive' G++ will accept your code)

If I compile the code by running :

g++ -fpermissive

Then the code compiles.
Please explain this behavior.

A: You likely have an error in your for loop.
You probably terminated your for loop with a semicolon, which ends the scope of "it".
It is a variable local to the for loop. You are trying to use it outside the loop.

Furthermore, it's strange, that this error only will be bred by records having been imported by a dump. There will be no error, if I will update a record having been created using saveasnew option. Unfortunately, I can't delete this record in order to recreate it,'cause it would expel against referential integrity.

A: I was having a similar problem, but the Yii2 error message was

Unable to locate message source for category ''

I was running Gii from console:
php yii gii/crud --controllerClass="app\controllers\StcDocumentTypeController" --messageCategory="stc_document_type" --enableI18N=1 --enablePjax=1  --interactive=0 --modelClass="app\models\StcDocumentType" --searchModelClass="app\models\StcDocumentTypeSearch"  --overwrite=1

The solution was to add the i18n configuration on the console.php config file:
'components' => [
...
'i18n' => [
    'translations' => [
        '*' => [
            'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
            'basePath' => '@app/messages',
            'sourceLanguage' => 'en-US',
        ],
    ]
],
...

]
If you're running from web check also that config in web.php


THE X|FIT PROGRAM IS BOTH EASY TO START AND INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE.
X|Fit was designed specifically for our CrossFit gyms and now hundreds of our members are experiencing the great coaching, great facilities and great community that our CrossFit members have been experiencing for years. At its core, the X|Fit workout will produce increased muscle Endurance, Strength, Power, and if desired, tremendous weight loss.
The X|FIT training sessions are 50 minute, coach-led, high-energy, high-intensity, interval running, rowing and functional weight/resistance training sessions. Classes are held in a supportive group setting. Each class features a series of easy to understand stations that highlight different movements. All fitness levels are welcome. X|Fit is specifically designed for everyone, from couch potatoes to elite performance athletes and are open to all adults and teens, ages 16 and older. If you are looking for fast results and you are not ready for CrossFit, X|Fit is hands down the best fitness program you can do. Come in and see what it's all about!
WHY CHOOSE X|FIT? IT'S SCIENCE!
The science shows that maximum results are achieved by working at relatively high intensity. In scientific terms, X|FIT programming is applying a stimulus of high-intensity training. This stimulus elicits physical, mental and neurological adaptation (change), otherwise known as improved fitness. Results come faster and are more significant than typical low-intensity training like jogging, elliptical training, and machine based circuit weight training. These activities simply don't stimulate much adaptation, therefore the results are slow and improvements virtually non-existent. We also know that the best fitness program is the one that you will do, so making it fun and easy to follow was just as important as the science behind accelerated results.
HOW IS X|FIT DIFFERENT THAN CROSSFIT?
X|Fit participants enjoy a fun, high-intensity, community-based Metabolic Conditioning training, without the complexity of gymnastics and Olympic lifting that is incorporated into CrossFit. While we believe that CrossFit is scalable for everyone and has transformed the way people think about fitness and health we also understand the hesitation many people have about jumping into a CrossFit program. We have identified what we call the "CrossFit Intimidation Factors" and set out to build a program that removes them. X|Fit is the result.
Getting fit is all about pushing your body beyond perceived limitations, recovering, and again testing those limits and pushing those boundaries.

Background: The goal of hospitals, as the most important health care providing centers, is to improve the health level of the society. Achieving this goal is directly related with performance of the managers. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of operational managers of obstetrics and gynecology service providing wards from the point of view of the staff at educational hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2015. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, target population comprised all supervisors and the staff working at obstetrics and gynecology and maternity wards. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire after evaluation of its reliability and validity using questions on managerial performance (planning, organizing, leadership, and control dimensions) and demographic characteristics of the managers and staff. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one sample t-test, Spearman and Pearson coefficient tests, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The total mean score of staff's point of view toward performance of managers' performance was significantly higher than the average level (P < 0.001, t = 13.2). In addition, mean scores of managerial performance in planning (P < 0.001, t = 14.93), organizing (P < 0.001, t = 11.64), leadership (P < 0.001, t = 11.16), and control (P < 0.001, t = 13.75) dimensions were significantly higher than the moderate level. Conclusions: With respect to the fact that maintaining and improving the health of mothers and neonates depends on the management and managers' performance in obstetrics and gynecology service providing wards, more than moderate managers' performance need to be improved. It is recommended that higher-level managers pay special attention to the empowerment of managerial skills among operational managers.

英文摘要: Abstract(#br)Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo HCT) is the only curative therapy for the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), but treatment toxicity has been a barrier to its more widespread use. The nonmyeloablative regimen of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) permits the establishment of donor hematopoiesis necessary for the graft-versus-malignancy effect and is protective against acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), but it has minimal direct cytotoxicity against myeloid diseases. We explored the use of TLI-ATG conditioning to treat 61 patients with allo HCT for MDS (n = 32), therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (n = 15), MPN (n = 9), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (n = 5). The median age of all... patients was 63 years (range, 50 to 73). The cumulative incidence of aGVHD grades II to IV was 14% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4% to 23%) and for grades III to IV, 4% (95% CI, 0 to 9%), and it did not differ between patients who received allografts from related or unrelated donors. The cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 100 days, 12 months, and 36 months was 0%, 7%, and 11%. Overall survival and progression-free survival were 41% (95% CI, 29% to 53%) and 35% (95% CI, 23% to 48%), respectively. The safety and tolerability of TLI-ATG, as exemplified by its low NRM, provides a foundation for further risk-adapted or prophylactic interventions to prevent disease progression.

Last Update June 8, 2018
HOA apologizes to Vegas Golden Knights fan over team flag display
By Greg Norman, Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News
May 28, 2018: Fans gather outside T-Mobile Arena prior to Game 1 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Washington Capitals. (AP)
A Nevada homeowners association has apologized to one of its residents after telling him to remove a large Vegas Golden Knights flag hanging over his garage.
Johnny Montoya, who says he has gone to around 30 of the team's games in their inaugural NHL season, told KSNV that he recently received a letter from FirstService Residential Nevada telling him that the flag violated the southeast Las Vegas community's landscaping rules.
"I'm a huge Golden Knights fan. Been one since day one. I wanted to show my support like everyone else in the city," he told KSNV. "I didn't think a flag would cause any problems."
Montoya vowed that the flag would stay up and accused the HOA of being sympathetic to the Washington Capitals, who currently have a commanding 3-1 lead over the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final.
"Sucks for them. It's gonna stay. That's for sure. I love the Golden Knights that much," Montoya told KSNV.
Late Thursday, FirstService told Fox News that "an error was made" in sending the violation letter.
"The HOA Board of Directors was of the understanding that the flag was a permanent addition rather than a temporary show of support," spokeswoman Mary Sudasassi said in an email. "The violation has been rescinded and an apology letter hand delivered on behalf of the Board, which Mrs. Montoya graciously accepted. We will be joining the Montoyas and the rest of the city in cheering our Golden Knights on to victory tonight."
The Capitals can clinch their first-ever Stanley Cup with a victory over the Golden Knights in Game 5 Thursday night. No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final since 1942, when the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from 3-0 down to defeat the Detroit Red Wings.
