"Independent research confirms that the IB improves students' academic achievement, as well as their probability of secondary school graduation and university enrolment, and it is clear that our students are better prepared to succeed in post-secondary settings. And, perhaps more importantly, they're better prepared to contribute in helping to make the world a better place." ~International Baccalaureate Organization.
The IB Diploma Programme® is considered one of the most academically challenging pre-college/university educational programs in the world and is highly regarded by universities worldwide.
The DP curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) and the Extended Essay (EE). Students choose courses from the following subject groups:
Group 1: Studies in Language and Literature
Group 2: Language Acquisition
Group 3: Individuals and Societies
Group 4: Sciences
Group 5: Mathematics
Group 6: The Arts
As an alternative to an arts option in Group 6 students may opt to study an additional Science (G4), Individuals and Societies (G3), or a Language course (G2).
Students are expected to take three subjects at higher level (HL) and three at standard level (SL). HL and SL courses differ in scope but are measured according to the same grade descriptors, with students expected to demonstrate understanding of a greater body of knowledge and mastery of skills at higher level.
There is the option for students to follow four subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level.
The three core elements of the IB Diploma Programme are:
Theory of Knowledge, in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
The Extended Essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
Creativity, Activity, Service, in which students complete a project related to those three concepts.

AMC has released a trailer for the first part of the fifth and final season of 'Breaking Bad' season 5. Spoilers are ahead so be warned. Also below is a the first clip from the new season.
Breaking Bad premieres Sunday, July 15th at 10/9c. For us in Ireland the good folks at TG4 are currently showing 'Breaking Bad' from the start so be sure to catch it.


One of the toughest part of the job of media agencies in terms of accounts payable or AP is manual processing. Therefore, if as a media agency, you have still not automated your accounts payable department, then you are most likely to execute social media campaigns for the clients with the help of one plastic credit card. Also, at the time when you are not using your card, then you might be using the physical paper cheques for the payment of the expenses of the vendors. This is where financial technology has a crucial role to play in the automation of the accounts payable department. Moreover, there are a number of solid reasons as to why automation of the accounts payable is preferred by the media agencies.
First and foremost, you can go with one card per one client or campaign. With the virtual credit cards having the phenomenal capability regarding automation of the accounts payable department, they are extremely popular in the media industry especially with the payments of social media campaigns. You can simply use one card per client or campaign with the inbuilt spending criteria which help you to remain within the budget.
Automation of accounts payable eliminates the task of manual processing which makes it much easier and convenient at the same time. Moreover, automation helps in the elimination of the human errors, and hence accuracy is significantly increased.
Another of the greatest advantage of automation of accounts payable is the saving of both time and money. Automation of the process saves a lot of time for the employees which can be utilized in other innovative or higher – level tasks. Also, money is saved in terms of bank fees, paper, and other stationeries.
Therefore, if you are a media agency, you should be wasting no more time and immediately go for the automation of the accounts payable department.

After being at the prison, I felt forlorn. The chaplain had called me out for something, then he had called out one of the men in our group for something, then the deputy warden had called the director of our program out for something…. There were legitimate reasons for all of these instances, but I was still left feeling sad and somewhat helpless.
There isn't much compassion in a prison, if any. There are strict rules and a rigid hierarchy. If you or someone you are responsible for doesn't act appropriately, you will hear about it. Explanation doesn't matter. You were wrong. That's it. Change your behavior or there will be serious if not dire consequences.
Practically speaking, this is the way it needs to be. Otherwise, there would be mayhem. There are options of course, other ways to institutionally respond to criminal behavior, but this is what we have created. This is prison culture in America. It's the nature of the beast.
After leaving the prison, as I was sifting through my feelings, the song, "There's a Wideness in God's Mercy" came to me. It helped me rise above the sadness that I felt and restored my sense of purpose. It helped me to return to myself and the broad reality of God.
Upon reflection, this experience demonstrates why ministry is so important. Ministry in general and prison ministry in particular. If we didn't go to share God's love and mercy with these men who are incarcerated, they would probably get buried in the loneliness, powerlessness and hopelessness that is prison. If I didn't go, I would probably get buried in the same. I need reminded of God's love and mercy, so I don't become too narrow in my life and living.
Song text written by Frederick William Faber; quoted from Worship in Song: A Friends Hymnal.
Last week, as part of our Centering Prayer group, we talked about feelings, especially our most powerful feelings: Hate, rage, shame…. Sometimes the overwhelming power of these feelings separate us from ourselves, especially when they've arisen from abuse and neglect. They can also create the perception that we're separate from God.
No human can walk naked on Pluto or the Sun.
No human can walk naked in Antarctica or in the Sahara.
No human can walk naked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange or Ground Zero.
Who is this God that created Pluto and the Sun?
Who is this God that inhabits Antarctica and the Sahara?
Who is this God that aches on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and at Ground Zero?
Where is God in the cold that kills? In the heat that kills?
Is this a God of Neglect? A God of Anger?
God is One. God is Pathos.
God reveals Herself in Passion.
God is the Heart of Anguish. She is the Body of Pain.
God created a cold so cold it kills and a hot so hot it kills to remind us of the depth of God's love.
Nothing is beyond God's Power of Redemption.
There is no place on this earth, no place in this universe, that hasn't known the heat of God's Love.
There is no person on this earth, no body in the universe, that hasn't felt the heat of God's Passion.
This fire lies in our hearts.
No person… a mother who neglects her son, a father who assaults his daughter… is separate from God.
The heat of our passions don't separate us from God; they point us to God.
Sin in not our feeling or even our violence.
Sin is numbness, the inability to discern heat.
God cannot heal those who choose not to feel.
God returns God to God when pathos knows Pathos.
Recently, I learned that one of the men in our Centering Prayer group is leaving. He will be released from prison before the next meeting of our group. I felt sad to see him go and told him so. I was surprised that he would be moving on so quickly, but I was not surprised that I was sad.
The first day that I visited the prison, he was one of the men who got my attention. As he talked about why he was participating in the program, he mentioned that he had previously followed a spiritual path that would be considered controversial, if not risky or even an anathema to most Christians. But I don't think it was the controversial nature of what he was saying that got my attention. I think it was his earnestness. I could sense that he held a deep truth. He hadn't had the opportunity to live it out, but I think he knew something that some people never learn… that love saves.
While he would not admit it, I deduced from the stories that he told me that he had the gift of generosity. He gave to others knowing that he wouldn't get anything in return. He gave because he knew he couldn't be the person that he wanted to be if he didn't. He gave so that the people he loved would have a better life. He gave to them hoping that they would recognize that he loved them, but anticipating that they wouldn't. He also gave because he trusted that God would reward him.
Sometimes our hearts are too big for our bodies. Sometimes our life experiences break our hearts and restrict our ability to live as we intend. From what I know of this man, he was not able to grow up with his parents nor in a loving home. He did not receive love when he had needed it. But that didn't keep him from trying to give it away.
In some way, every man in the group is my brother. But this man felt even more like kin to me. We are all cut from the same cloth, but it seemed to me that we were cut from the same bolt of fabric.
While all of us are human and have experienced the pain associated with living in this world, some of us end up with more similar personalities. While I am not as generous as this man, we have come to orient to life in the same way. We've experienced in our early years that love is in short supply. But rather than turn greedy or mean, we've realized that love is precious and that the best way to make more is to give it away.

_______________ (Possession/4-3-3/Passing out of the back) like __________________ (F.C. Barcelona/Spain/Ajax) would never work for a __________________ (Mid-low table Premier League/Major League Soccer/NCAA Division I) team. The __________________ (British/American/American College) game is too ____________ (Fast/Physical/Aggressive) for a ________________ (British/MLS/College) team to play like that. The only reason ______________ (F.C.

That's how they all learn to ____________ (dive/cheat/properly control a 15 yard pass). And besides, in ____________ (British/American) culture, we value ________________ (hard work/impatience/violent mediocrity) way too much to ever teach our teams to play like that so that we could actually ____________________ (win a World Cup/win a European Championship/not struggle against third world Central American national teams).

1. For the Love

Neurotransmitters in the brain can predict maths ability
Research by a team from the University of Surrey, University of Oxford and Swansea University has shown that levels of neurotransmitters in the brain can predict maths ability.
The two neurotransmitters, GABA and glutamate, have complementary roles -- GABA inhibits neurons, while glutamate makes them more active. The study also found that the relationships between the two neurotransmitters and arithmetic fluency switched as children develop into adults.
Levels of brain excitement or inhibition are thought to be related to learning, especially during critical periods. However, little is known about how they are related to complex learning that can take place over decades. To address this issue, the researchers measured the levels of GABA and glutamate in 255 people, ranging from 6-year-olds to university students. The participants also took two maths achievement tests, and their performance on the arithmetic problems was correlated with the GABA and glutamate levels
Researchers found that among young people, higher GABA levels in the left intraparietal sulcus of the brain (a fold in the top, left, back part of the brain) were associated with greater maths fluency, while the reverse was true for glutamate. In adults, the results were almost exactly the opposite; low GABA concentrations were related to greater maths fluency, and again, the reverse was true for glutamate. Participants were tested twice about 18 months apart; therefore, researchers were also able to show that neurotransmitter levels at the time of the first test could predict maths achievement at a later date.
This longitudinal study aims to help researchers better understand the relationship between learning and brain plasticity, particularly during critical periods that might span years.
Professor Roi Cohen Kadosh, who takes up his position as Head of the School of Psychology at the University of Surrey in September, said;
"Our finding of developmental switches in the link between GABA and glutamate and academic achievement highlights a general, unknown principle of plasticity. In contrast to previous studies on humans or animals that focused on narrower developmental stages, our cross-sectional-longitudinal study suggests that the link between plasticity and brain excitation and inhibition across different stages is unlikely to be immutable. These findings also have important implications for the development of brain-based interventional programs, which we hope to examine in the future."

Last year I blogged about how I got the MCT Certification for 4th consecutive year and more importantly – how I started to see a change in the program that would make it matter again. This year, however, I decided to not go for it because nothing actually changed even though there were some signs. This would have been my 5th year as a MCT, but no, it just does not make sense for me. Let me explain.
What does the MCT Certification give you except for a bit of swag and deals to buy Microsoft Office?
Access to Office 365 – I have such as a Microsoft MVP (here you can get MS Office for cheap).
Access to some MCT Forums – I have never ever seen a reason to spend time there – no one does.
A bunch of free software licenses – OK, cool, but the MCT renewal price is 240 Euro for Bulgaria, so… I am almost paying for those.
Access to Microsoft Official Course Materials – VMs and PowerPoint decks – I don't use those for my customers. Their quality is just not on my level.
Permission to teach people in Microsoft Certified Training Centers – don't need it. I am contacted directly and the companies I train do not look for a trainer and a center. They want me to train them and they don't care about certifications, centers, etc.
All that + the fact that I started my own business – a presentation design and training agency, made me take the decision to step off from my MCT "career" and I am bit worried(talking with friends MCTs) that a lot more people will do that too. In my opinion, Microsoft did not find a way to make this certification prestigious enough. In the last 5 years I was not even once in a situation where my MCT was required or asked for and if that's the case, I just don't see a reason why I should be paying Microsoft. I just don't.
So, that's that. MCTs, what your opinion? Shoot your thoughts in the comments.
In Romania, MCTs are required by large corporations (Continental, Emerson, Betfair, and so on). That is the only reason I keep it – even though they are asking specifically for a trainer, they need that trainer to be an MCT.
I will be honest – I seriously don't know about those offers. I even don't know where are those posted. I have 0 emails on topics like this which is kinda strange, isn't it? + the fact that are US only – I have been in discussions with Microsoft Bulgaria for a long time on the topic of Microsoft's offerings and how our market is the last one to get anything. When they say that Bulgaria is a small market and that's why they don't ship the Surface tablets, for example, I am always like – OK, Apple somehow thinks different about our "small market" and that's exactly why you are going to lose.
240 euros only? Here in Sweden it is 600 euros!
Yeap. Different countries, different prices.
The way I see it for non-MVP trainers the MCT cert still makes sense, though. The US$150/month Azure credits more than pay back the annual fee plus the 50% discount on exams and partners promotions like Camtasia.
But these benefits are a bonus. Being an MCT has opened many doors for me. 18 years and counting.
I believe this is the right decision! Wish you good luck, man!
I had an interesting discussion around the value of the MCT role during a series of training sessions delivered recently (non-MOC materials). The discussion was about whether or not to renew and the evolution of the MCT program by itself. People should look at the numbers. If the core of your income comes from delivering MOC training, or you see a core value of having access to a variety and set of broad training offerings that you can download for your own preparation you should renew, retain your MCT.
Throughout the years, many of the MCTs developed deeper technical skills than what the standard MOC materials delivers or offers, some people diverted into deeper technical or more customized materials or consulting. It is now their bread and butter… Some people deliver a variety of courses (broad skills), and don't go into a deep technical specialization like some of us do.
That said, I think there is an opportunity for the MCT program management team to think differently and take the MCT training requirements and program to a different level. There is a vast majority of people out there that make their bread and butter by teaching for example basic SQL Server skills or query syntax for which qualitative materials is available through the program or courseware marketplace and there are certainly other ways to "enrich" the MCT program, add more value to the program members.
My wife is a real estate agent, she needs to get a "license" and take mandatory trainings that allow her to sell homes in the way she does it. While there is a lot of bread and butter to be made in the Real Estate business with many different job opportunities, her bread and butter (and my French toast), is in selling homes. She needs to "recertify" to retain that license and pay a registration fee.
People should use common sense driving their decision on what they do with their "programs" or memberships. If it fits for you to start doing something different, you totally should and full steam for the opportunity you have ahead.
100% agree with you here.
That sure sounds familiar, Dandy 🙂 … as do most of Boris' reasons. I stopped renewing my MCT quite a few years ago, when I started training much more advanced topics.
$800 in Australia and renewing 9 years. 2 days later we will talk about it in MCT summit.
Reading your post made me remember the conversations in Brazil about the benefits of renew. I believe for MVP make no sense to have MCT unless required, but seems this thought about the program is the same around the world. I think Microsoft may terminate this program in some years if the number of MCT continue to reduce and become a tendency. Maybe, there was no modernization on the program. The world evolved since I was MCT for the first time (1999), but almost everything still the same. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm from Sri Lanka and recently got certified as an MCT. Reading your post yes it doesn't make much sense for you given the recognition you have in the industry. Also the price you're paying.
The way to go! Full support from me on that opinion and approach!
I think it's symptomatic of the changing attitude within Microsoft nowadays towards the technical community. There's been a significant reduction in the weight applied to the technical support of their products, evidenced by the lack of support for the technical training (abandonment of the MCM programs which gave technical personnel something to aspire to) and the removal of Technet which the technical and hobbyist community used to POC solutions etc. The focus seems to have shifted towards the marketing aspects, hence the focus on the MVP program (focussed more on product promotion and marketing) and at an exec level the push to ensure all of the key products are in the right places on the Gartner magic quadrants. It's the primary reason I won't be doing any more technical certifications because the remaining ones can be boot camped by anyone with half a day to spare.
I'm not an MCanything, so take my input for what it's worth. I agree with your argument that you are not receiving any benefit by paying for MCT when you're an MVP, but my understanding is that there's no guarantee that next year you'll be an MVP. I would assume that if you are not an MVP in a given year, that the benefits that go with it would go away. That's one argument that I can see for extending your cert: I would think it a lot more expensive to re-test and re-earn the MCT compared to continuing it.
Just my $0.002, convert to Euros as needed.
Yeap. That is true if you need those software licenses. I personally can easily live without them. The other "benefits" I personally dont use, so for me(again… for me!) that is not a problem and would not be even if I lose my MVP.
I stopped renewing my MCT some years ago for the same exact reasons you described. Also, things got worse when the software subscription switched from Technet to MSDN.
I teach a lot of courses around Microsoft products, and yet I have never been an MCT, more or less for the same reasons you mentioned. There was always this thought that maybe I'm missing something, but now that I read your post, I'm happy to see that I have made the right decision (for me) in the first place. Thank you!
Haha! Sounds good! Is it a cool one?


I admitted I don't have the budget or a pressing use-case to try gaming or other GPU tasks like VDI for vZilla. But other home builders may, many of whom suggested I would have had much better luck with AMD/ATI than I did with NVIDIA, as far as trying to pin the GPU to a particular VM using VMDirectPath.
So I'm curious what you think about VMware's new vGPU feature? Not sure yet?
Well, read up on it a bit first, then let us all know what you think by dropping a comment below (no login required).
vSphere 5.1 – Virtual Machine Updates Cont.
Don't fret the VIB install, I already detailed exactly how to install those, right over here.
Nvidia Quadro <3 vSphere 5.1?
Perhaps this basic premise is promising, especially if it works, even if officially unsupported, on a variety of home-build motherboards, without the troubles that VMDirectPath has been giving us when moving from ESXi 5.0 to ESXi 5.1, detailed here. Also curious if such cards draw very few watts/stay cool, when not being actively used for anything.
Ok, so, what do you think?


Lauren Conrad chose Las Vegas as her destination for her birthday and where else would she celebrate but LAVO and TAO?!?! Lauren arrived Saturday with a mixed group of close friends including actor Kyle Howard and her BFF Lauren "Lo" Bosworth. The group arrived slightly before Lauren and cheered as the birthday girl walked in. The group also surprised Lauren and bought Venetian masks for everyone which they all donned throughout the meal.
Everyone was in great spirits and made their way to LAVO's exclusive private dining room for a dinner of signature dishes specially prepared from them by Chef Ludo.
Lauren was presented with a beautiful Yellow cake with a polka dotted bow, she called all of her girlfriends over to help her blow out candles and pose for photos, then summoned the whole group to don their sparkly masks and smile!
After dinner everyone piled on the TAO/LAVO Escalade for the ride over to TAO, they all cheered and sang as they rode thru the casino.
Birthday girl and friends arrived at TAO and made their way to a private skybox, where she was surprised by more birthday sweets as cupcakes and sparklers made their way to the table and DJ Five gave her a special birthday shout out. They danced the night away sipping Grey Goose cocktails and taking in the sights of a packed house at TAO.


WARNING: The following account contains several spoilers from Furious 7, specific to how the filmmakers handled the death of Paul Walker. If you haven't seen the film and intend to, read no further.
It is a blink-and-you'd-miss it moment from the early goings of Furious 7: Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner is strapping his young son Jack into the growing family's minivan, when the boy hurls his toy vehicle out onto the pavement. He tells the boy that cars don't fly, and the boy repeats the line back with a giggle.
Moments later there's a big (unrelated) explosion — and it would be easy to dismiss this minor emotional beat. But if you caught it, the moment is truly haunting.
Jack's toy is a red sports car, a two-seat coupe with a rear spoiler that closely resembles the crimson Porsche Carrera GT that Walker was riding in when the $350,000 supercar crashed in November 2013, killing the actor and driver Roger Rodas. Whether the filmmakers intended this, or it was a mere coincidence that they decided to leave in, is hard to say.
Walker had shot about half of his scenes when he died, forcing Universal to delay Furious 7's release so they could re-build the story around what they had. Very much to the credit of director James Wan, not to mention the producers, editors, writers and hundreds upon hundreds of visual effects and sound editors, they pulled it off — because if you weren't looking closely for seams, you'd never notice them.
After his death, Walker's brothers were used as stand-ins for several shots, to which his face and voice were added later. In some cases, he was edited into the scene from b-roll footage. And in others, his face is obscured or he's off to the side.
But re-inserting him wasn't their only challenge: The filmmakers also had to find room in the story to let Walker go — and in a way that would allow the franchise to carry on. Most assumed Brian O'Conner would be killed off, or at least indisposed in some plausibly permanent way.
After a pair of opening set-pieces that don't involve Walker, we finally see him for the first time: It's a close-up of his face. He's behind the wheel, his high-top Vans skate shoes on the gas, revving the engine — and it cuts away to show he's driving the minivan, dropping off Jack at preschool.
Furious 7 broke the box office records for the franchise with a $384 million opening.
It's our first glimpse of Brian's adjustment to his new life with Mia. "You'll get used to this," says the teacher taking Jack from the vehicle, to which he responds, "That's what I'm afraid of."
It's another day, and Brian is strapping in Jack to take him to school. "What do you say, parking-brake slide right up to the school?" he playfully asks Jack — the kind of reckless driving maneuver that Walker loved to pull in real life, where he was every bit the gear-headed speed freak that Brian O'Conner is onscreen (and the reason he got the part in the first place).
That's when Jack hurls the toy, prompting the "Cars don't fly" line, which Brian will repeat during the tower sequence in Abu Dhabi as Dominic (Vin Diesel) crashes between buildings ... with Brian in the passenger's seat.
Brian's new role as father and husband is obviously pulling him away from the thrills he loves most, a major theme of his turn in Furious 7. That was almost certainly part of the plan before he was killed; his scenes with Mia are clearly him, including when he tells her: "I've screwed up many things. I couldn't live with myself if I screwed this up, too."
But clearly this theme was amplified after the fact. Later, in another moment between Dominic and Brian alone, it's obvious that Diesel is acting against shots of Walker reacting to something else. "You miss the bullets," Dominic says. "Yeah, that's messed up huh?" Brian responds, but there is something uncanny about his voice and expressions, and the camera never actually catches them together. Then Dominic drives it home: "What's real is family. Your family. Hold on to that, Brian."
There's another sequence later in the film when Brian seems to think he might not survive the crew's latest mission. Mia, in a safe haven in the Dominican Republic, gets a call from Brian who says: "Something's about to go down. If you don't hear from me in the next 24 hours, I need you to take Jack and move on."
Mia is stricken by his tone: "Don't do that. The way you said that sounded like goodbye. Say something else."
His end of the conversation could easily have merely been a warning that she would be in danger; was her end changed to make it seem more ominous?
In any case, he merely says: "I love you Mia."
Another early moment that seems too close to home, yet was probably shot before Walker's death: The funeral for Han (Sung Kang), who was killed in Tokyo. With a close-up on Walker's face, we hear Roman (Tyrese Gibson) say: "I can't do any more funerals." Then he turns to Brian and says: "Just promise me Brian, no more funerals."
Brian responds: "Just one more," and the pause is excruciatingly long before he finishes the thought: "His" (referring to the bad guy, Deckard Shaw, played by Jason Statham).
The mountainside chase — easily the high point of the movie — is punctuated by Brian's daring escape from a bus that is teetering over the edge of a cliff. In trademark hoodie and skate shoes he runs up the side and is saved when Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) drifts in just long enough for him to grab the spoiler of her hot rod.
Flung to the ground, but safe and sound, Brian lies on his back for a moment, arms outstretched in a crucifixion pose. "You good?" Letty asks him, and all he offers is a flat "Thank you."
That might have been his last line of spoken dialogue — because the cast and crew was on a short break from shooting the mountain sequence outside of Atlanta when Walker returned to California for the charity event that involved his company's sports cars.
The digital artists who put Walker's face onto his brother's body are freakin' WIZARDS. Maybe a little bit of both.
There are moments when Walker looks ropey, even spectral; there are other moments when he's delivering lines while his face is front-and-center, looking perfectly natural. The dicey stuff is mostly when they're outside, at the beach and later standing at the precipice of a hole they just smashed in the side of a skyscraper.
In all likelihood, they only went to Abu Dhabi to pick up those exterior shots, and had to put Walker in to salvage their exteriors.
But if the whole thing was cooked up ... slow clap.
There are just two noteworthy connections in the final boss-battle scene: In one, Brian dives from his car as it explodes in flames. Moments later, he pulls Dominic from his car just before flames begin to flicker inside of it, and starts administering CPR.
It's really the last five minutes of the movie, however, that have everyone talking.
The battle is won and the crew is at a Malibu beach, watching Mia play with Jack down by the water. She calls to Brian to come join them. "Duty calls," says Dominic, and Brian stands up — and it's one of the few moments from the whole film when he doesn't look quite right.
Brian lifts up Jack and spins around, repeatedly kissing the boy. And puzzlingly enough, this looks 100% natural; his face is ever so slightly obscured as he turns, but then is fully in view. Did they film this beach frolic as b-roll, never intending to use it in this way? It would sure seem so, as the crew begins to talk about him, looking on but as if to suggest that he's not really there.
"That's where he belongs," says Letty.
"Home. That's where he's always belonged," says Dominic.
"Things are gonna change," says Roman.
Dominic stands up as if to leave, and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) says to him: "You aren't even going to say goodbye?"
"It's never goodbye," Dominic says, as Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" begins to play.
Now Dominic is driving away from the beach in a silver Dodge — his trademark American muscle car — when a white Japanese exotic (Brian's standard choice) pulls up alongside him.
"Hey, you thought you could leave without saying goodbye?" Brian says, his last line in any Fast and Furious film. Again, it's fairly obvious that this shot was created later, but it works OK.
The two begin to drive, side-by-side, through the Malibu canyon, and Dominic begins speaking in voice-over: "I used to say I live life a quarter-mile at a time. And that's why we were brothers. Because you did, too."
A montage of moments from previous films begins, again with Dominic's voice: "No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter-mile away or halfway around the world, you'll always be with me and you'll always be my brother."


When Can I cancel my FHA Mortgage Insurance?
A FHA loan with less than 10% down will require the monthly mortgage insurance premiums to be paid through the entire loan term. Borrowers will not be eligible to have the mortgage insurance removed no matter how much time passes or what the loan to value is (the rule in the past used to require 78% loan to value and 5 years minimum).
A FHA loan with 10% or more down will be eligible to have the monthly mortgage insurance premiums removed after the following two conditions have been met: 1-after 11 years have passed with on time payments & 2-when the principal loan balance reaches 78% of the value of the home at the time of purchase.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established back in 1934 with a simple goal, to help more Americans purchase new homes. As with any governmental agency, the FHA Mortgage Loan options available and the rules to apply can be very complicated. FHA Home Loans Arizona programs can also be challenging to comprehend.
So let's take a minute to give you a crash course in FHA Mortgage Programs, and more specifically, the details surrounding Arizona FHA Mortgages.
Are Gifts allowed on FHA loans? Yes, borrowers can receive all their down payment, closing costs and prepaid taxes and insurance from a gift.
What is the credit score I'll need to apply? In the state of Arizona, most institutions will be looking for a credit score of 620 or better. In some cases, we can do FHA mortgages for borrowers with a credit score down to 580. Please contact us for details.
How do I know if the house I'm looking to buy allows me to apply for an Arizona FHA Mortgage?
Condominiums are a different matter. Since 2011 virtually all condos in Arizona have been ineligible for FHA loans. Why? The reason has to do with the way FHA approves and manages the approved condo list. For decades FHA managed the condo approval list on their own. Since 2011 they have handed the responsibility of the approval process to banks. Banks have been reluctant to approve condominium projects and as a result, project approvals have expired. It is extremely rare to find a condominium project that is approved and eligible for FHA financing.
What is the maximum loan to value for a FHA cash-out refinance? You can receive cash-out on a FHA refinance up to 85% of the appraised value.
What is the maximum seller contribution/concession towards a FHA buyer's closing costs and prepaids? Sellers can contribute up to 6% of the sales price towards a buyers closing costs and prepaids.
What is the FHA loan limit for Maricopa county? See below for Maricopa county FHA loan limit.
What are the FHA loan limits Arizona for other counties? Below is a grid of the latest FHA loan limits in Arizona for all Arizona Counties. Notice how Coconino County's loan limit is much larger than all the others.
Your Arizona mortgage broker will be familiar with the types of loans available, but you will also want to be familiar with your options before you begin.
First – you must be aware that FHA mortgage loans have an up-front mortgage insurance premium and an annual mortgage insurance premium. The insurance costs and annual percentages will vary based on the length of the loan and the amount of your down payment so be sure to ask your mortgage advisor! Do not be surprised by this.
It's also important that you understand "why" this is required. Very simply, FHA Mortgage Programs provide an option for those that may not be able to qualify for a conventional loan. But this means that financial institutions are taking a little more risk so the insurance is designed to act as a form of protection for the banks and lenders.
Section 203(b). Most Arizona FHA mortgage loans fall under this section. It can be used to finance from ONE to FOUR housing units. Mortgage terms can be ADJUSTED to accommodate the needs of the applicant. LOW DOWN PAYMENT: only 3.5% is required. There are also various GIFT OPTIONS for down payments that are acceptable.
Section 234(c). This FHA Mortgage Loan is used for CONDOMINIUMS. The same credit requirements for a Section 203(b) apply to this as well. New 2010 rules require that this type of application be submitted via HRAP/DELRAP. Your mortgage advisor will be aware of this, but you can look for Arizona approved condos.
Section 203(k). This program allows a borrower to finance the cost to REPAIR/REMODEL their home. One mortgage loan will be used for the acquisition AND upgrade of units. Up to FOUR housing units are eligible but consult your preferred bank on other criteria. FHA Mortgage Consultants may be required on certain 203(k) loans.
HECM – Reverse Mortgages. This type provides applicants access to the equity in their housing units. Several PAYMENT METHODS are available such as; lump sum, installments, line of credit or a mix of those three options. Only applicants of AGE 62 or above can qualify.
In addition to this list, FHA has developed new options such as the Streamlined Refinance and the "Make Home Affordable Program" that are meant to help alter and refinance current mortgages.

To celebrate this year's International Women's Day, we'd like to introduce to you our female Commissioners.
Commissioners to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales are appointed by HM The Queen, on the advice of the Welsh Government and the Secretary of State for Wales, under a Royal Warrant which was last renewed in 2000. They are appointed for five years, renewable (subject to satisfactory review) to a maximum of ten years.
Commissioners provide leadership and governance for the organisation, as well as providing scrutiny and constructive challenge to all of the Royal Commission's activities. They have extensive experience in the various fields covered by the Royal Commission's staff, to whom they offer expert guidance and support.
The Board of Commissioners comprises a Chair and up to ten other Commissioners. Currently, there are nine Commissioners (including the Chair), a third of whom are women. While this does not yet reach our target of 40% (in line with the Welsh Government's target of women in public appointments), we anticipate reaching this target in the upcoming two recruitment rounds.
Caroline read History at the University of Bristol, specialising in the pagan religions of Ancient Britain. After five years working for the leading management consultancy firm Accenture, Caroline returned to study, achieving a Distinction in her M.Phil in Archaeological Heritage Management at the University of Cambridge. Her career in fundraising began shortly afterwards, eventually leading her to work for the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England, then known as English Heritage.
Over the past fifteen years, Caroline has worked in a variety of roles and has led key corporate projects for the organisation. Most notable of these was the delivery of the 'new model' which saw the organisation split into two: Historic England, the public body that looks after England's historic environment, and the English Heritage Trust, a new charity licensed to look after and open to the public over 400 historic properties. Since the split Caroline has continued to work for Historic England and is now leading a small team focused on building relationships with individuals, trusts, foundations and companies to secure support to enable the organisation to deliver its objectives.
After graduating in Geography from the University of Oxford, Louise studied an MSc in Regional Development at Cardiff University. A common theme throughout all her work has been the concern for places, their historical development, and the way in which individuals and communities engage with the places they live in, work in, learn in and visit. This interest in 'place' led her to research the relationship between place perceptions and economic development for her PhD.
In the late 1990s Louise worked with communities in her home county of Carmarthenshire to explore and interpret community heritage. Since 1999 she has been a lecturer at what is now the University of Wales Trinity Saint David where she has developed programmes in heritage, tourism and sustainable business, as well as developing and project managing several EU funded heritage projects.
Louise was appointed a Commissioner in 2017.

Gabby Barrett returning to 'American Idol' as a mentor
"I Hope" you'll tune in when Gabby Barrett makes her return to American Idol.
The genre-busting country star came in third on the ABC show in 2018. Since then, she's scored massive hits with her breakout single, "I Hope" — which was followed by a remix with pop sensation Charlie Puth — and "The Good Ones."
The latter song is inspired by her husband, Cade Foehner, a fellow top 10 American Idol finalist whom she married in 2019.
Billboard reports that Gabby will return to American Idol as a mentor to this season's top 14 contestants, in an episode airing April 24.
The show is now in its 20th season, and to celebrate, it's hosting a reunion special this year. Among the alumni returning to the stage are Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Laine Hardy. The reunion will air on May 2.
Meanwhile, Gabby's keeping busy on the road: She was just announced as one of the performers at this year's CMA Fest, and she's got tour plans with Brooks & Dunn and Jason Aldean this summer.

Michigan:
A State in Crisis
Each year in Michigan alone, over 600 children "age out" of the foster system, meaning that at the age of 18 they are on their own, leaving them without the family, resources, or support they need to make it as they start their lives as adults. This number is on the rise, with special needs and minority youth particularly vulnerable to ending up back on the streets in poverty, without an education. But in 2019, the Attorney General of Michigan signed an agreement with the ACLU attempting to shut down the state's partnerships with faith-based foster and adoption agencies, putting at risk thousands of children who desperately need homes.
In April 2019, foster families filed a new lawsuit against Michigan and federal Health & Human Services to allow faith-based adoption agencies to continue what they do best: uniting children with loving families. Becket is representing a former foster child, the parents of five adopted children with special needs, and St. Vincent Catholic Charities in this new case.
Families like the Bucks rely on St. Vincent
St. Vincent helped Melissa and Chad Buck adopt five children with special needs and continues to provide them with loving support and resources.
St. Vincent is one of the oldest and most effective foster and adoption agencies in Michigan. St. Vincent has served children and families for over 65 years, helping those in crisis find hope and safety both in their own homes and with new families. Like other private agencies, St. Vincent recruits and supports foster and adoptive families, many of whom would not become foster families without St. Vincent's help.
Keeping families together is an important part of foster care and adoption. St. Vincent is particularly good at finding safe and nurturing homes for sibling groups, older children, minority children, and children with special needs. Thanks to St. Vincent, Melissa and Chad Buck were the first to receive the call that the biological sibling of one of their children needed a home—and without St. Vincent, that would not have been possible. St. Vincent brought the Buck family together and continually serves families in need.
In 2017, St. Vincent recruited more new adoptive families than roughly 90 percent of the other agencies in its service area. St. Vincent's religious mission gives it a unique position to recruit families who value its religious beliefs—families who might not otherwise have been aware of or considered adoption through the foster care system.
St. Vincent excels at continuing to provide counseling and support to families after placement. Many of the children served by St. Vincent have undergone the trauma of physical or emotional abuse, neglect, or have experienced the illness or death of a parent. St. Vincent provides individual, family, and group therapy, monthly visits to the foster home, visitation with birth parents and other relatives, and monitoring and referrals to community resources for additional treatment and support.
Faith-based agencies like St. Vincent help break the cycle of addiction, abuse and homelessness for these kids. Foster children need all hands on deck, people of all beliefs and backgrounds, working together to make it happen.
St. Vincent's Religious Mission Has Never Prevented Anyone from Fostering or Adopting a Child
Part of the process followed by private foster and adoption agencies involves performing in-depth assessments and making written endorsements and recommendations to the state about potential foster families. The state makes the ultimate decision about which families to license, and families licensed with one agency can still adopt kids in the care of another agency.
St. Vincent serves and places children regardless of their race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Because of its religious mission, St. Vincent can't make written recommendations to the state if doing so would contradict its religious beliefs about marriage. But St. Vincent will always make sure that any family who wants to foster or adopt will be able to do so, whether St. Vincent works with them directly or refers them to one of seven nearby agencies who can better serve their needs. This is a normal part of the foster care and adoption process. Agencies in Michigan refer families elsewhere all the time and for numerous reasons, including if they might live too far away or if the agency has a long waiting lists.
In fact, in part because this system works so well to meet the needs of foster children and potential parents, gay couples have been able to work with other agencies to adopt foster children in St. Vincent's care in the past.
St. Vincent's mission is "to share the love of Christ." Their goal is to offer hope and safety to help the people in their care transform their lives.
AG of Michigan attempts to shut down St. Vincent and other faith-based agencies
When the ACLU sued the State of Michigan in 2017 to try to force it to stop working with faith-based foster and adoption agencies, Becket defended several foster children, families, and St. Vincent Catholic Charities to maintain this vital partnership. However, in March 2019 the Attorney General of Michigan and the ACLU signed a settlement agreement to try to stop the state from working with faith-based adoption agencies like St. Vincent simply because of their religious beliefs. In April 2019, Becket filed a new lawsuit defending St. Vincent and foster families in federal court.
Gay couples have been able to work with other agencies to adopt children in St. Vincent's care in the past, and the ACLU's clients in this case could have done the same thing. Despite the availability of these alternatives that would have allowed the ACLU's clients to serve children, they have refused these services for years so they could continue to justify a needless lawsuit.
Michigan and the ACLU's actions do nothing to help vulnerable kids. Faith-based agencies like St. Vincent consistently do the best work because of their faith, and the State should welcome all agencies dedicated to helping children and families. The only thing the Attorney General's actions will accomplish is fewer homes for children in need.
When the ACLU sued the State of Michigan in 2017, Becket defended several foster children, families and St. Vincent Catholic Charities to maintain this vital partnership.
However, last month the Attorney General of Michigan and the ACLU signed a settlement agreement to try to stop the state from working with faith-based adoption agencies like St. Vincent simply because of their religious beliefs.
On April 15, 2019, Becket filed a new lawsuit defending St. Vincent and foster families in federal court against Michigan and federal Health & Human Services.
Our hearts are open. But the ability of St. Vincent to keep its doors open is now being threatened.

Q: Get text from input text field in WKWebView I am working with WKWebView and loaded url in the same web-view which is having login page (email and password input text).
email input text field like this:
<input class="input" type="email" placeholder="" data-automation-id="email" name="email" maxlength="256" value="">
Can someone guide me that how to get the value this input text?
 webView.evaluateJavaScript("document.getElementById('email').value", completionHandler: { (jsonRaw: Any?, error: Error?) in
            guard let jsonString = jsonRaw as? String else { return }
            print(js)
        })

Tried this but not working :(
TIA

A: If you don't want to add id to the element, use getElementsByClassName instead which returns an array and pick the first element to read the value of the email field:
Example:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    webView.evaluateJavaScript("document.getElementsByClassName('input')[0].value") {(result, error) in
        guard error == nil else {
            print(error!)
            return
        }

        print(String(describing: result))
    }
}

Sample HTML string used for testing:
<html>
  <body>
      <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="" data-automation-id="email" name="email" maxlength="256" value="5556454">
  </body>
</html>

A: The input tag doesn't have an id of email which is why the lookup by id is failing. Update the web page so the input tag has an id set to email.
<input id="email" class="input" type="email" placeholder="" data-automation-id="email" name="email" maxlength="256" value="">

With the id="email" added, the document.getElementById('email').value should find the input and give you the value.

New Research Reveals Next-Gen Consumers and Farmers Share Concerns and Hopes for the Food System
By: PRWeb via PRWeb
Corteva Agriscience Finds GenZ/Millennial Consumers and Farmers Want to Become a Strong Collective Voice and Major Driver in Reshaping the Next Generation of Agriculture
SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) February 28, 2020
Corteva Agriscience today announced the results of a global study of Gen Z/millennial farmers and consumers. This first-of-its-kind research, commissioned by Corteva Agriscience, examined views on the future of food and farming by next-gen farmers and consumers in the United States, Brazil, China, France and Russia. Notably, the study reveals surveyed participants in different global markets are highly aligned in their concern about the future of food and farming.
The study, conducted by Kantar, one of the world's leading data, insight and consultancy companies, also revealed that next-gen farmers and consumers want to have more influence over decisions about how food is grown, sold and consumed; and share a deep desire to be involved in securing the financial and environmental sustainability of farms. Key insights from the research are profiled in an accompanying white paper that includes data from each of the countries involved in the study.
"Two of the most important voices in the food system today are those of young farmers and consumers," said James C. Collins, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Corteva Agriscience. "They see that the future and ability to thrive are interconnected. Now is the time to empower both farmers and consumers to face the challenges of the future with mutual understanding, appreciation and a willingness to work together to ensure long-term security to both farming and food."
Key Study Findings include:
Protecting the Future of Food
89% of surveyed consumers and 73% of surveyed farmers are concerned the world will not have enough food for its nutritional needs by 2040.
90% or more of next-gen farmers and consumers agree everyone needs to compromise to secure the future of food
More than 80% of young farmers and consumers are willing to take personal responsibility for helping address the challenges of food and farming.
Securing the Future of the Farm
80% of surveyed consumers and 81% of surveyed farmers agree that it will be difficult for farmers to make a living in the future.
90% agree that farmers will have to adopt innovative new technologies and methods to address the food and farming issues we face.
Ensuring the Voices of Consumers and Farmers are Heard
93% of both next-gen consumers and farmers feel they need a bigger voice when it comes to securing the future of food and farming.
Next-gen consumers (94%) and farmers (80%) have opinions about what food should be produced and they also believe that big players in the food chain — including food wholesalers, food input suppliers and food manufacturing companies — have more influence than they do over how food is grown, sold and consumed.
Confronting Climate Volatility
95% of farmers and 97% of consumers believe the climate is changing, and they also believe that it will have a negative impact on the global food supply in the next 20 years with the exception of young farmers and consumers in the U.S., where less than half feel this way.
Over 90% of both next-gen farmers and consumers want to live in a world where no one must choose between the environment and having enough to eat, and both groups want to join forces to find ways in which both farming and consumption can change to have a lower impact on climate.
"Farmers and consumers often are portrayed as two different parties at opposite ends of the global food system. The findings in this study reveal a different picture of young farmers and consumers wanting to meet in the middle and define ways to solve some of biggest issues in the future of farming and food," said Dana Bolden, Senior Vice President of External Affairs and Sustainability for Corteva Agriscience. "Finding common ground is essential and we are committed to exploring ways where Corteva can help cultivate the kinds of conversations between the next generation of farmers and consumers that are needed to bring about timely solutions."
For the purposes of this study, next-generation farmers were defined as 16 to 38-year-old decision-makers on farms, and next-generation consumers were defined as 16 to 38-year-old non-farmers. The survey was conducted among a minimum of 100 farmers and 500 consumers per country for a total of more than 3,000 survey respondents.
Further information on this study and its findings can be found here.

Video: Newport Beach Missing Lifeguard Located
**UPDATE** @ 9:50 p.m. – Sadly it has been confirmed the lifeguard drowned while performing a rescue today. He is a hero and we send our most heart-felt condolences to his family and friends.
The drowning victim has been identified as Ben Carlson, a Newport Beach Lifeguard. He was hit by a 10 foot wave while making a rescue and never surfaced again. Hours later, his body was pulled from the water after an intensive search and rescue operation. During the press conference, Newport Beach Lifeguard officials described Ben as a physically fit lifeguard.
After a full search effort was launched this evening for a missing Newport Beach Lifeguard, it appears as though he has been located just minutes ago. However, the circumstances did not look good as KCAL9 News was flying overhead during their nightly broadcast.
Sources have reported that CPR was started right away and one can only hope that this lifeguard will be revived. The missing lifeguard was located during a grid search, where fellow lifeguards lock arms, dive down to the bottom of the ocean and search for the missing individual.
The story is continuing to develop and more details will be posted as they become available.

More than 3 million children die each year because of malnutrition, accounting for more than fifty percent of deaths among those under the age of 5, according a new report published in the Lancet.
A team of experts analyzed the true extent of global malnutrition, as well as the factors that cause it, to develop a new framework for prevention and treatment.
The study revealed that the first 1,000 days of a child's life, from the day they are born until they are nearly three, impact not only their future health, but also a nation's economic advancement.
"This series strengthens the evidence that a nation's economic advancement is tied to the first 1,000 days of every child's life. Malnutrition can haunt children for the rest of their lives. Undernourished children are more susceptible to infectious diseases and achieve less education and have lower cognitive abilities. As a result, undernutrition can significantly impede a country's economic growth."
According to a United Nations report, malnutrition costs the global economy $3.5tn. Over the next fifteen years, it's estimated that malnutrition will put nearly five hundred million youngsters at risk of permanent health problems.
In 2011 more than 165 million children were affected by stunting and a further 50 million were affected by wasting. Even though some progress has been achieved over recent years, the researchers believe that up to 900,000 deaths could be prevented if 10 proven interventions are scaled-up.
Proper nutrition is essential for healthy development and encouraging, educating and providing people with healthy food is key for addressing global malnutrition. A previous study conducted in Niger found that child mortality dropped by 50% after children received highly nutritious supplemental food.
Over 800,000 neonatal deaths are caused by poor growth of the baby while in the womb, because of maternal malnutrition.
Women who are undernourished are at a higher risk of dying during pregnancy or giving birth prematurely.
In low- and middle-income countries more than twenty five percent of babies are considered to be small for their gestational age, which increases their risk of death.
"To prevent neonatal deaths, we should track whether the baby was born too small or too soon, not just the baby's birth weight. This will allow us to better implement the appropriate interventions to prevent these conditions and improve survival."
Black concluded that developing nations will never break out of poverty or achieve economic advances if their people are not receiving the necessary nutritional security to live productive lives.
Black added "we need to redouble our efforts and invest in what we know works. As the study led by Professor Zulfiqar Bhutta of Aga Khan University shows, scaling up 10 proven interventions, including treatment of acute malnutrition, promotion of infant and child feeding, and zinc supplementation, can already save 900,000 children a year."
