Q: Which is more common, using "who . . . is" or "whom . . . are"? Which of these would you say?

The married couple who the police caught is on drugs.

or

The married couple whom the police caught are on drugs.

Why?

A: I would say

The married couple whom the police caught are on drugs.

First, I would use whom because it is the object of the phrase whom the police caught.  The police are doing the catching; the couple is being caught.
Second, I would use are because each individual in the couple is on drugs.  Being on drugs is not a trait of the couple as a collection but instead is a trait of the people making up the couple.

A: I would say:

The married couple who the police caught are on drugs.

Most native speakers of English do not use whom except, perhaps, in formal writing.
Couple can be treated as singular or plural, depending on whether the speaker wants to consider them as two separate people or one group of people.  Drug taking habits tend to be a personal matter, so I treat them as two separate people.

I was speaking with one of our customers, Matt Carter. Matt drives a Ford Superduty truck. Matt decided to switch his truck to AMSOIL about a year ago because he had heard great things about our products and was excited about the extended drain intervals. Like many other customers, Matt wants to make his truck last as long as possible. After changing his oil, one thing Matt noticed was the increase in gas mileage! He said he didn't expect that as one of the benefits but he was pleasantly surprised that it went up by 7-9%! With the price of gas, he is more than happy to take the savings he is receiving at the pump.

Gold 'to overtake coal' as Aussie earner
The Australian government expects gold to overtake thermal coal as the country's fourth-largest export earner in the coming financial year as coal prices fall on subdued demand from Asia and global tensions prop up prices of the yellow metal.
Asian demand for the heating fuel is expected to top out this year as large consuming countries including China turn to cleaner energy such as hydropower, nuclear and renewables, the federal government's Resources and Energy quarterly report said.
Australia is the world's second-biggest exporter of thermal coal, behind Indonesia, shipping out an estimated 209 million tonnes last financial year.
About 39 per cent of Australian coal exports go to Japan and roughly a quarter to China.
"The trend for world imports... is likely to be slightly downwards. Imports from most developed countries are forecast to decline, as governments phase out coal-fired power generation," the report by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science said.
It also pointed to signs that Japan would pivot away from thermal coal more quickly than expected after the country shelved two coal-fired power projects in the past six months with a third also likely.
Australia's exports were forecast to grow slightly in 2020/21, but the report forecast a fall in benchmark Newcastle spot prices from $US105 a tonne in 2018 to $US83 a tonne this year and $US75 in 2020.
At the same time, exports from the world's second-largest gold producer are set to climb 12 per cent in the 2019/20 financial year from 329 tonnes in the year to end-June while gold prices are expected to rise.
"Trade and geopolitical risks are likely to support gold prices," it said.
The report expected gold to average $US1,440 an ounce in 2021 compared with $US1,392 an ounce on Monday.
It forecast gold exports worth $22.0 billion in 2019/20, ahead of $21.2 billion of thermal coal exports.
Total resource and energy commodity earnings for 2019/20 were expected to rise by 3.4 per cent to $285 billion, partly due to a prolonged shortage in iron ore exports from Brazil and a weaker Australian dollar.

Brexit: Can British Economy Bear the Impact?
Brexit will weigh on the British economy in all cases but the agreement negotiated by Theresa May limit the damage while leaving the European Union without agreement would plunge the country into the crisis, argued Wednesday several estimates official.
Pound collapse of 25%, unemployment skyrocketing to 7.5% and inflation to 6.5%, plunge of 30% of real estate prices ... A Brexit without agreement would cause a huge shock to the UK economy, warned the Bank of England in its assessment of different exit scenarios from the EU.
In this worst-case scenario, British gross domestic product (GDP) is slashed from 7.8% to 10.5% by 2024.Bank governor Mark Carney of Canada, who is regularly accused of wanting to scare his scenarios, told the press that his job was precisely to "prepare for the worst".
Shortly before, a government report had estimated GDP loss at 9.3% in 15 years. He insisted, however, that Prime Minister Theresa May's agreement with the EU, but decried to the heart of her Conservative Party, would limit the scrap by costing 3.9% of GDP (1, 2% to 3.8% by 2024, according to the BoE).
The executive figures assume that the UK will be able to conclude all the free trade agreements it hopes for, the report says, stressing, however, that these projections need to be made with "tweezers" because of the uncertainties inherent in this type of economic analysis ".
This avalanche of numbers has comfortably brought comfort to Theresa May, who is struggling to convince the country and MEPs that her agreement is "the best" and "the only possible one".
"This analysis does not show that we will be poorer in the future," she told the elected officials, that she tries with difficulty to convince to vote on December 11 for the divorce agreement concluded after 17 months difficult negotiations. "It shows that we will go better with this agreement".
But within two weeks of the vote, Ms. May is far from having the required number of votes and critics wiped out again Wednesday reminded her of the resistance that awaits her. "It is now clear that Parliament will not support this plan," Labor opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn told him, saying it was "time to work on another plan".
In addition to Labor, Theresa May's North-Irish ally, the small Unionist party DUP, Conservative MPs in favor of a hard Brexit, the Europhiles of the Liberal Democratic Party and Scottish independence deputies oppose the agreement.
To convince her fellow citizens, Ms. May embarked on a tour of the country that led her Wednesday afternoon near Glasgow, Scotland's largest city. "This is an agreement that is good for Scottish employers and will protect jobs," she said, particularly trying to reassure the highly sensitive issue of fisheries in Scotland.
On the eve of her visit, Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon, leader of the pro-independence party SNP, lambasted the agreement, citing a study published by her government that would make Scots "poorer", and calling it "unacceptable". Theresa May and her main supporters hope that once faced with the vote, parliamentarians will be reasonable.
A poll released Wednesday by the tabloid Daily Mail, spectacularly moved from militant europhobia to a very moderate position on the occasion of a change of editor, came to comfort Ms. May: 52% of the 1,030 people interviewed online by The Survation Institute thinks that its agreement is the best possible, compared to 19% who think the opposite.
But at the same time, 48% of respondents call for a second referendum (against 34%). This solution has received the unexpected support of John McDonnel, Labor's economic affairs officer, as Labor has so far officially opposed it, such as Theresa May.

C.1900, Waterbury "REGULATOR No. 60", in oak, as-found, missing its bottom and 2 finials and pedestals for the top. This clock has hung in an office in Acton, Mass for the last 30 years. It has the premium Waterbury movement with rectangular plates, pinwheel escapement and lyre pendulum with the wide oval rods. It retains original cast beat scale and black+gold label in the bottom of the case, also original door key (lock intact as well). The exterior of the case was refinished 30 years ago and is a mellow dark gold color; the inside finish is original. If the case was complete, the clock would bring $10,000. If you add a bottom, it should be 79.5" tall, however, as it is shown, the height is 72.5" Lots of potential for a restorer.

Home / Reviews / 2019 Nissan Rogue
The 2019 Nissan Rogue puts comfort at the top of its priority list, with safety technology a close second. It's an excellent place to drive for a few hours, while performance pulls up shy to some of its biggest rivals.
There's a smaller Rogue Sport in the Nissan family that's distinct from this compact crossover; we review it separately.
The Rogue's been updated for 2019 with standard automatic emergency braking, while the Nissan active safety system suite of features, called ProPilot Assist, is standard on all models except the base S and SV, where it is optional. The system helps drivers stay in their lanes by beeping a warning when it detects drifting, a protection against dozing off. In certain situations, ProPilot Assist can also accelerate, brake, and maintain the distance from other vehicles with no driver input.
The 2019 Rogue comes standard with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission, making 170 horsepower with 175 foot-pounds of torque. It delivers average acceleration.
Fuel mileage is a solid 26 mpg city, 33 highway, and 29 combined with front-wheel drive, 27 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. The Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester get about 30 mpg—but there is a Rogue Hybrid, which the EPA rates at up to 34 mpg combined.
Federal and independent safety testers don't agree on the 2019 Nissan Rogue. The insurance industry's IIHS gives the Rogue a Top Safety Pick after it earned top "Good" scores in all of its crash tests, including the finicky front small-overlap crash test. Automatic emergency braking, standard on all 2019 Rogues, was rated as "Superior" at avoiding front crashes.
However, that Top Safety Pick applies just to the Rogue SL when equipped with optional LED headlights. The IIHS rated the standard headlights on most Rogue models as "Poor." Crashworthiness isn't affected.
Meanwhile the NHTSA gave the Rogue only four stars overall, with four stars for frontal and rollover crash protection.
The base Rogue S starts at $25,975 and includes 17-inch wheels, cloth upholstery, blind-spot monitors, automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A popular equipment package adds tinted windows, heated front seats, and 17-inch alloy wheels for $800. All-wheel drive is available on every trim level for $1,350.
SV trims add more available options, optional 18-inch wheels, rear automatic braking, remote start, keyless ignition, power-adjustable driver's seat, and upgraded audio.
At the top, the 2019 Rogue SL sports 19-inch wheels, power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, premium audio, navigation, a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control, remote start, a 7.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment, and Nissan's suite of driver assist features called "ProPilot Assist." The Rogue SL starts at $32,385 with front-wheel drive, or $33,785 with all-wheel drive. An $1,820 Premium Package for Rogue SL models adds LED headlights that were rated "Acceptable" by the IIHS and are how the Rogue earns its Top Safety Pick award.
Rogue Hybrid models are available on SV and SL trims with comparable equipment.
The Rogue has a nice shape and handsome proportions. It's a conservative look that's the opposite of Nissan crossovers such as the now discontinued Juke and the sleek Murano.
The Rogue received light tweaks in 2017, including a V-neck grille with LED running lamps in front and LED taillamps in back.
The cabin is fairly quiet, and nicely finished with high-quality materials, low-gloss plastics and metallic trim. It's simply laid out with round knobs and a center stack with an LCD monitor. There's a cowl over the gauges and slim vents in the center. The base Rogue S uses a nice 7.0-inch touchscreen, In 2018, the infotainment system was upgraded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Like those in the Altima sedan, the Rogue's front seats are very comfortable, with dense foam and great shaping. One excellent feature is the flat-folding front passenger seat. There is manual adjustment in the base S model, power in the rest; front seat heating is optional. The driving position is good, although the non-adjustable steering wheel is raked a bit flat, like a bus.
Another nice feature is the liftback that opens with a wave of the foot under the rear bumper, on all models but the S.
The second row of seats slides on a long nine-inch track, which can improve the cargo space behind the seat when it's slid forward, and expand legroom for passengers at other times. When it is folded, there's a excellent 70 cubic feet of cargo space.
There used to be a third-row seat, but it was so tiny it almost didn't count. In the current model there are panels with stowage boxes and bins in the back. They're great for things like tools, coolers, or muddy boots.
The rearward vision is obstructed a bit by the pillars, so we like the surround-view camera system that's standard on the SL and optional (in a package) on the SV. It presents a composite 360-degree view from four cameras and provides great security when parking not only in reverse, but in tight side and even forward spaces.
The 2019 Rogue can't match the turbocharged engines of the Ford Escape and Hyundai Santa Fe, but it's good for 0 to 60 mph in about eight seconds. The CVT is programmed to imitate an automatic transmission with gears, and it's fairly quick and smooth.
The Rogue's ride is calm and composed, quite comfortable on the independent suspension, and not too firm, on the tall all-season tires that seem to help absorb freeway roughness.
The Rogue doesn't wander over grooved concrete, and it responds predictably, though the steering is not filled with feedback like the systems in the Mazda CX-5 or Ford Escape.
The Rogue's stability control is quite sophisticated. It applies brakes to the inside front wheel to sharpen cornering by rotating the car, and it cuts the throttle to smooth bumps; this prevents surging over them, a bit like coasting over speed bumps. You can't feel these things happening, but you can feel the more comfortable results.
The 2019 Nissan Rogue has a smooth ride, the cabin is excellent, and the CVT transmission is pretty good. It's more often discounted than top-selling rivals, too—so bargains can be had, especially on hybrid versions.

During his first visit to a predominately Muslim country, President Barack Obama said that Turkey is a critical ally that the U.S. should work with to overcome the challenges of the 21st century in his historic speech at the Turkish parliament in Ankara on Monday April 6th.
by Jenin Muhammad IkhwanWeb
During his first visit to a predominately Muslim country, President Barack Obama said that Turkey is a critical ally that the U.S. should work with to overcome the challenges of the 21st century in his historic speech at the Turkish parliament in Ankara on Monday April 6th.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Obama covered various issues in his speech including the global economic crisis, Turkey"s European Union bid, energy policies, Middle East conflicts, Iran and the ongoing normalization period between Turkey and Armenia. The U.S. President also used this opportunity to urge for better communication with the Muslim world.
The president declared that the U.S. is not at war with Islam and it will never be. "In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical in rolling back a violent ideology that people of all faiths reject. We seek broad engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect," he added.
He pledged to be respectful, even when there are disagreements and to convey America"s deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better.
"The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their family, or have lived in a Muslim-majority country – I know, because I am one of them," he added.
During the opening speech at the 2nd Alliance of the Civilizations Forum hosted by Turkey in İstanbul, Erdoğan said as Turkey and Spain, they initiated the process with the belief that dialogue was possible.
"We sincerely believed that the Christian, Muslim and Jewish peoples, the East and the West, could understand and tolerate each other. We believed that prejudices in a globalizing world could only be dangerous," said Erdoğan.
He said the "Alliance of Civilizations" initiative which started under the auspices of UN in 2005 became an important platform creating concrete solutions and projects, adding that the second forum in İstanbul was a milestone for the initiative.
Undoubtedly, Obama"s visit to Turkey is important for the beginning of a new stage of U.S.-Turkey relations. Obama"s choice of visiting Turkey so early in his presidency highlighted the U.S. desire not to lose its only Muslim country ally that can help it ease troubles in the Middle East region at large.
It is worth noting the US President"s support for Turkey"s EU membership followed by the French President's statement speaking to the TF1 Channel," This is something that only EU will decide on. Sarkozy once more pointed out that he opposed Turkey"s EU membership.
Turkey has long been seeking to join the 27-nation bloc, but meets a strong resistance from some heavyweights such as Germany and France.
Many Turks see Obama as a peace advocate, unlike his predecessor Bush. "I have a bad impression of America because they are so fond of making wars, but I think Obama can change that." Yurdagul Oguzman, 29, told the Washington Post.
However, critics say Obama should not try to engage the "Muslim world" because there is no such unified thing. They say this will play into Osama bin Laden"s narrative because he portrays himself as the protector of the "Muslim world."
To prove otherwise to them, one must understand the role that Islam plays in the Muslim world. In the United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with its Bill of Rights are at the core of what we believe. In the Muslim world, the law that a Muslim needs is in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
In the same way, Islamic law believes that God has ordained political justice, economic justice, help for the weak and impoverished. These are very Islamic concepts. Many Muslims believe that what Americans receive from their government is in fact the very substance of what an Islamic state should provide. American beliefs in individual liberty and the dignity of the individual are Islamic principles as well.
Obama sent a shockwave through the Muslim World when at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5th he quoted a hadith "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." The president equated that tenet of Islam with Jesus" "Love thy neighbor as thyself," and the Jewish Torah commandment, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow."

The still small voice of conscience and the Christ spirit that dwells within each human heart is not philosophical, it is moral! It knows what is right for us and what is wrong for us individually. What is wrong for us might be right for someone else and what is right for someone else might be wrong for us. But we need to live and teach each other by example and trust in the goodness that lies within each of us.
Wisdom comes through life experience and often the troubles that we go through make us deeper and wiser. Nature and life itself tries all possibilities, both good and bad. It tries the good possibilities so that it can experience pleasures and it tries the bad possibilities so that it can develop a resistance to what is harmful and overcome it! If it didn't explore the bad life would die!
Time after time we see how hardship and trouble brings people together. It is often the negative things in life that force us to rise above them and become greater than what we were. It is important to rise above our current conditions because we each have a high destiny to fulfill and duties to perform in this world to manifest heaven here on earth.
Humanity is at a great turning point and there is a tremendous opportunity to rise above the negativity that has enslaved humanity in the past. The path of the heart is the path of the future! Somebody has to show the way! Somebody has to go first! Let it be us! The conflicting duality of good and evil need to be replaced with the dual loving embrace of male and female.

Works well on Safari but bugs on firefox…
Any idea??
On Safari:
Safari
On Firefox:
Firefox

A: Sorry if the explanations, is jerky and all over the place. this matter needs it's own proper article.
I think i found the issue or why that is happening, This is more of what's happening rather than an answer to the question.
This is either a bug in Firefox or Firefox doesn't manage everything for you.
The structure you have is this :
<Inline Level Element> (h1)
    <Block Level Element> (:before)
    <Inline Level Element> (the text which is an inline level element can be a block level element)
    <Block Level Element> (:after)
</Inline Level Element> (/h1)

What say you we try to replicate it ?

.inlineElement {
  display: inline;
  padding: 0px 20px;
  background-color: red;
}

.inlineElement>span {
  background-color: orange;
}

.BlockElement {
  display: block;
  background-color: brown;
  height: 10px;
  width: 100%;
}

  Text

Now if you run this, you will see some unidentified space on the edges, which happens to be the padding applied on the h1. (this was tested in chrome and Firefox, same result.)
Now since block level elements sits on their own line this should be understandable, However while being inside an inline element it still does the same thing since it comes after the padding it pushes it of the way  which would seems logical.

Now we know when you float an element, to goes either left or right, then the rest of the content follows it (depends on the text-align property but the content doesn't ignore the floated element dimensions unlike absolute positioning ), lets try it with a normal example.

console.log(document.querySelector('.div').getBoundingClientRect().height);
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.div {
  background-color: pink;
}

p {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;/* To be 100% width like your code */
  background-color: brown;
}

I'm floated

Straight forward, Why printing the height, keep reading below.

Now What if the containing block is an inline level element (like having a p inside a span which you don't often see, for obvious reasons)

console.log(document.querySelector('.div').getBoundingClientRect().height);
console.log(document.querySelector('.div>p').getBoundingClientRect().height);

console.log(document.querySelector('.div').getBoundingClientRect().height + document.querySelector('.div>p').getBoundingClientRect().height, '/ +1 which is the space inline elements keeps to care for decenders that block level element add to their height');
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.div {
  display: inline;
  background-color: pink;
}

p {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;/* To be 100% width like your code */
  background-color: brown;
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit

I guess this speaks for it self, The height here is shorter, the height gets larger in the other example only when we add width:100%, because we push the text downward therefore the height increases, The same doesn't happen in this example width:100% has no effect, so it is safe to say that the elements gets outside then the parent follows, could be a bug could be how it was intended to behave.

So now we know that a floated block level element gets outside it's parent then the parent follows, same result in chrome and Firefox.
If we add some sort of space that comes before the content like padding or a border

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.div {
  display: inline;
  background-color: pink;
  padding: 0 10px;
  border-left: 10px solid lime;
  border-right: 10px solid lime;
}

p {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: brown;
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor
  in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

since the floated element takes 100% width, the parent will follow as we know, in chrome we would see what we expect, however Firefox seem to not care maybe ignore?, we see the padding/border being stuck to end of the floated element, then the content wraps around to the next line.
browsers where everything works out, seem to do extra work (The magic as we say), if you would treat the text as an inline level element that it's actually is float it to the left like it's sibling and move that padding to it.

*,
*:before,
*:after {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

h1 {
  display: unset;
}

h1>span {
  float: left;
  padding: 5px 12px;
  background-color: #00addc;
  margin-bottom: 2px;
}

h1::after {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
  height: 1px;
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

h1::before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 1px;
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #00addc;
  margin-bottom: 0px;

Try to run this in Firefox and see the effect, what chrome/safari is doing to fix this internally, i don't really know i googled this but didn't find any article about it.
PS : You may wanna consider reading this, it speaks about having block level element inside inline level element.

A: I think it is a bug. Great find. The work-around is quite easy:

h1 {
  padding: 5px 12px;
  background-color: #00addc;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-top: 0!important;
  margin-bottom: 2px;
}
h1::before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  height: 1px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #00addc;
  margin-top: -5px;
}

This tablescape features a very special family heirloom, a beautiful set of antique German porcelain dessert plates that belonged to my husband's Nan. I was touched to receive them and ironically, they feature the same pattern as a set of dinner plates I found at Summit Antiques Center a few years back- I think they look beautiful layered. The set is back stamped with the Schumann shield mark and "Dresden, Schumann, Bavaria", which should date to c1918-1929.
I carried the color scheme into the centerpiece by filling this vintage Victorian pink and white cache pot (from Summit Antiques Center) with pink and raspberry colored flowers.
The flower arrangement is flanked by a pair of Westmoreland milk glass candlesticks that are hand painted with a border of pink roses, violets and purple ribbons (purchased at an antique shop in Chatham, Cape Cod, Massachusetts).
I found this beautiful vintage serving tray at Home Sweet Home in Chatham, NJ.
How can I resist taking out some pink bubbly in that signature Veuve case!
This is an absolutely beautiful tablescape! Wherever did you find your engraved pink stemware? You have done a wonderful job of highlighting all your treasures!
Oh my Word, you table is simply STUNNING!!! The heirloom salad plates are gorgeous and the ones you found later are perfectly and go together beautifuly…don't you just love it when this happens?! I love everything in this table as the candle sticks, so lovely and dainty. The stemware is magnificen too! I'm smitten with your table! Have a wonderful weekend ahead.
Oh….I must mention that the flowers and flower vase are beautiful and so is the vintage tray…SO THERE, I'VE SAID IT!!!
What gorgeous china!!! How lucky for you to have inherited it and even luckier to find pieces to add to the set. I have been to the Summit Antique Center and they do have some wonderful things.

Plaistow Woman Receives Emerita Honor

Nancy Sabin of Plaistow, NH, a Northern Essex Community College retired dean of enrollment services received an emeritus award during the college's 51st annual commencement exercises last month.
Sabin, who continues to teach computers science at NECC on a part-time basis, began working at the college as a work-study student in 1970. She worked in many departments throughout the college before retiring in 2010. Sabin spent her entire career as a Northern Essex Community College employee. During that time she has helped thousands of students secure funding to make attending college possible. Sabin had a special affinity for working with veterans.
"Over the years Nancy served as a role model for students and other staff, continuing her own education part time while working full time," said NECC President Lane Glenn before bestowing her with the title of Assistant Dean, Emerita of Enrollment Services.
Herself a graduate of Northern Essex, Sabin went on to earn a bachelor's in computer information systems from New Hampshire College and a Master of Business Administration degree from Plymouth State College.
At Northern Essex, the rank of emeritus is an honor that recognizes sustained excellence in performance, character, and meritorious service to the college. Emeritus status is given to a retired college employee based on recommendations by the college's emeritus committee and approved by President Glenn.

Edward R. Pressman (* 11. April 1943 in New York City, New York; † 17. Januar 2023 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Filmproduzent.

Leben
Edward Pressmann war der älteste Sohn des Spielzeugherstellers Jack Pressman († 1959), der 1947 Pressman Toy gegründet hatte, und Lynn Pressman (* 14. Juni 1912 in Queens als Lynn Rambach; † 22. Juli 2009 in Brooklyn), die 1942 heirateten.

Nachdem Pressman seine Schulzeit absolviert hatte, studierte er an der University of California, Berkeley und schloss dieses Studium mit einem Bachelor of Arts in Philosophie ab. Im Anschluss daran besuchte er die London School of Economics and Political Science.

Über 80 Filme produzierte Pressman in seiner Karriere, in der man keine Genrefixierung erkennen konnte. Pressman engagierte zahlreiche junge Talente für seine Projekte, wodurch deren Karrieren einen Sprung nach oben machten.

Pressman, der produktive New Yorker Independent-Produzent, fand die Bedingungen in Los Angeles angenehmer, also zog es ihn dorthin. Erst 1995 zog er wieder zurück in seine Heimat, um dort ein typisches New York-Projekt mit Al Pacino, John Cusack und Danny Aiello in Angriff zu nehmen: City Hall von Harold Becker.

Pressmans Spezialität als Produzent war das Finden von Talenten und neuen Wegen in der Filmkunst. Er war besonders bekannt dafür, die Karrieren von jungen und inspirierten Filmemachern zu fördern. So verschaffte er z. B. Oliver Stone die Möglichkeit zu seinem Debüt The Hand, bevor dann die beiden oscar-prämierten Werke Wall Street: Geld schläft nicht und Talk Radio gedreht wurden. Mit Brian De Palma auf dem Regiestuhl erschuf Pressman den Thriller Sisters sowie Das Phantom im Paradies. Badlands war das Debüt des Regisseurs Terrence Malick, dann ließ Pressman Sylvester Stallone den Film Vorhof zum Paradies inszenieren. Bei beiden Filmen fungierte Pressman als Executive Producer.

Auch auf internationaler Ebene war Pressman tätig. Rainer Werner Fassbinder konnte seinen ersten englischsprachigen Film Despair machen, die Taviani-Brüder drehten unter Pressman Good Morning Babylon (wieder mit Pressman als Executive Producer). Er brachte zudem Wolfgang Petersens Das Boot in einer speziellen Director's-Cut-Version auf Amerikas Leinwände, der eines der höchsten Einspielergebnisse eines ausländischen Films in der Geschichte des US-amerikanischen Kinos einbrachte.

Pressman hatte eine Nase für Projekte, die ihm den Beifall von Kritikern und dem Publikum einbrachten. So ließ er die Affäre um Claus von Bülow verfilmen. Der Film wurde mit dem Oscar für den Besten Hauptdarsteller, Jeremy Irons, ausgezeichnet. Bad Lieutenant von Abel Ferrara und Homicide – Mordkommission von David Mamet wurden in vielen Kritikerlisten der "10 besten Filme des Jahres" aufgenommen.

2000 vollendete Pressman den Film, dessen Rechte er schon sieben Jahre zuvor gekauft hatte. Das Drehbuch zu American Psycho, nach einem Roman von Bret Easton Ellis, ließ er mehrmals umschreiben. Christian Bale wurde mit einem Film zum Star, der sehr kontrovers aufgenommen wurde, in einer Zeit, in der viel und ausgiebig über die Gewalt in den Medien diskutiert wurde.

Im September 2001 rief er mit John Schmidt eine neue Gesellschaft ins Leben, die ContentFilm, eine Produktions- und Vertriebsgesellschaft in New York. Pressman arbeitete eng mit seinem Freund Terrence Malick und dessen Produktionsgesellschaft Sunflower Production zusammen.

Das American Film Magazine bezeichnete Pressman als den besten Produzenten der 1980er Jahre. Die BAMcinematek in New York City ehrte ihn im Februar 2001 mit einer 25-Film-Retrospektive.

Der internationale Einfluss Pressmans rührte von der 1989 veranstalteten Retrospektive der French Cinematheque her. Dabei wurde ihm die begehrte Chevalier des Arts et Lettres-Medaille für seine Arbeit und seiner Unterstützung des französischen Films verliehen. Weitere Ehrungen aus dem Ausland wurden Pressman vom National Film Theatre in London, vom Pacific Film Archive und vom Walker Art Center zuteil.

Im Mai 2012 kaufte er die Filmrechte an dem Comic Feeding Ground.

Pressman war Vorstandsmitglied der Trust of the Publick Theatre/New York Shakespeare Festival und der Directors of New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center. Er war mit der Schauspielerin Anni McEnroe verheiratet und hatte einen Sohn.

WHEN A FIRE IN THE BELLY DRIVES AN IDEA
"Ravinia Capital strategized with the Rex team on how to work through the highs and lows of the deal; they never tried to lower the price. They were the partner I needed to complete the sale of my company."
— Dominic Sergi, Rex Electric, CEO
Rex Electric and Technologies CEO Mr. Dominic M. Sergi was ready to make a change and move into the next stage of his life. He was the third generation to join his family's Chicago-based company, where he had worked since he was ten under the tutelage of his father Carmen Sergi, learning everything about being an electrician. The company was shuttered for 15 years beginning in 1965 until Mr. Sergi restarted it in 1979. He successfully grew the company, adding employees, adding new businesses and professionalizing services. In 2016—after 37 years of running Rex—Mr. Sergi was ready to sell.
Finding Hidden Value
Mr. Sergi knew that like most companies, Rex Electric had hidden EBITDA and hidden value that would be important to unlock as the process for selling the company moved forward. After discussions with several firms, Mr. Sergi engaged Ravinia Capital to uncovered the hidden value and prepare the company for sale.
A Tailored Approach
The Ravinia team was a good match for Mr. Sergi because they both brought a "fire in the belly" to the deal. Ravinia completed a significant sell-side, due-diligence process and then reached out to an exhaustive list of buyers that included corporate strategic competitors in and out of the Chicago market, private equity firms with telecommunications components, and family offices. A comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) that was a collaboration between management and the Ravinia team was developed as well as a sell-side due diligence quality of earnings analysis. A widely attended webinar resulted in several offers.
The Heart of the Enterprise
Selling a 95-year old family business means finding a buyer with values that are shared by the seller. There is a good business reason for it. Companies with similar corporate cultures will usually be more successful when they integrate. Striving to achieve the best result, the Ravinia team focused on identifying a wide group of potential buyers who would respect Rex's values and would be committed to continuing the legacy and reputation that Rex had built in the marketplace. The standout was Chugach Alaska Corp., the owner of a diverse group of businesses that was established in 1972 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). As a company it promotes and protects the cultural values of its shareholders while fulfilling its vision to remain financially sound. The Ravinia team saw a match.
Completing the Deal
The four-month diligence period was intensive as Chugach wanted to make sure that the integration would be smooth and that Rex would fit its 10-year strategic objective. Over the months of due diligence, every Chugach board member met with the Rex team to ensure the economic and emotional success of the transaction. When a delay surfaced, Ravinia resolved it quickly and efficiently. A week later, the transaction closed

The NSW Government enquiry has extended the deadline for Commissioner Margaret Cunneen to present her report. It was originally due by the end of September, but has now been delayed to sometime next year, possibly 28th February if all goes well. This is pathetic, and an insult to victims.
The delay is supposedly because there is so much information to process, from what was a very limited enquiry. Apparently, staff are bogged down trying to separate the chaff from the wheat.
The NSW Government is not providing more staff to help the enquiry meet the original deadline. It does seem strange that an enquiry running for a few weeks takes a few months to review and report. Apparently, getting the report out earlier is not worth the expense.
Only the cynical, surely, would conclude that the enquiry officials or others hope that the delay will mean that the issue fades from the media cycle before the report is released.
Meantime, enquiry staff are hard at work, trying to meet the new, unspecified deadline somewhere in the future, and hope to meet it eventually, possibly.

Hi, folks. It should be, absolutely, clear at this stage that we are using TypeScript in this project. But I just wanna point out now that this isn't, absolutely, necessary. It is possible to use pure JavaScript with Angular. The very first time I built in Angular 2+ application, I used JavaScript, because I hadn't used TypeScript before. And I wanted to learn the latest Angular, not the latest TypeScript, but there are a couple of issues with using pure JavaScript. So first of all, you've got to do all of the setup that the CLI would normally do yourself. Linting, testing, compiling the CSS. All of that needs to be handled. But as the CLI is geared towards TypeScript, you would have to set all of that up yourself. And that takes time and it's very complicated with so many moving parts. This is a big thing. Another problem is that nearly all of the documentation and online guides for Angular that you'll find are written using TypeScript. There is very little information on developing an Angular with plain JavaScript. If you are lucky, there might be a stack overflow question that is relevant, and it might even have an answer. But even the official Angular documentation site doesn't include much JavaScript information. It's almost all entirely focused on TypeScript. This makes developing in TypeScript so much easier. You've got all of the official documentation to check out and a huge wealth of information online. With JavaScript, you're pretty much on your own. But besides of these two pretty important issues, TypeScript itself is actually pretty awesome. One of the main things that it gives us is strong typing for JavaScript, which is useful all by itself. But because it is a compiled language, there is the opportunity to add additional features to the language. When it first came out, it brought a lot of newer things that JavaScript didn't really have, like classes. Now JavaScript, itself, does have a lot more support for these things natively. But TypeScript still gives us support for future parts of the language, which we can't use natively and I think that will always be the case. So one of these things is decorators, which are currently a proposal in ECMAScript, but they're not yet supported or implemented in any mainstream browsers. Decorators are important in Angular and we'll look at them in much more detail as we progress through the course. So one of the main reasons to use TypeScript is to add types to JavaScript. This is actually, really, useful and can eliminate a lot of bugs from our code. Editor support is, generally, very good for TypeScript as well, especially in Microsoft IDEs. Let's just open up the app.component.ts file. We can see that this file exports a simple class called AppComponent. So let's add a method to the class. So the moment is just a regular method, there's nothing particularly TypeScripty or special about it. So one of the things that we can add typings for is to specify the return type of a method or function. So if this method was gonna return a string, we could specify that like this. So we're telling the compiler that this method will return a string. And straight away, the IDE here, Visual Studio, has put some red underlining underneath the word string. What this is basically saying is that we've specified that the method will return a string. But the method isn't actually returning a string. It's not returning anything at all. But that is one of the big benefits of TypeScript, especially when you're using an editor that has a lot of support for TypeScript. So straight away, before we've run any unit tests or any linting or even come out of the editor, we can see that there's a problem here. It's very unlikely that we're now gonna forget that we need to return a string, because the editor is screaming it right at us with this big red underline. So let's fix that. And we can see that as soon as we do return a string, the red underlining goes away. And now when we try to compile the app, we won't get any errors. Whereas if we were to return something else, that's returned an array instead. So we get some red underlining again. And it's telling us that we should be returning a string, and that an empty array is not a type of string. And now let's just try to run a build. It doesn't have to be a production build. And we can see that we get an error here in the output. It does build some things for us, but we get this compiler error basically saying the same thing that the editor was saying. An empty array is not assignable to the type string. So it won't even let us compile the application and that's very, very useful for eliminating an entire class of bugs. All those types of bugs, which can be caused by methods returning the wrong type of value, just go away. It's not possible for us to make those silly day-to-day errors that we all make from time to time. So that will already save us a huge amount of time and effort. As well as providing typings on the return values of methods, we can also provide typings on the parameters that they might receive. So if this method was gonna receive some kind of parameter, let's say it's a test parameter, and that is also gonna be a string. So we provide that typing information in a very similar way. We just use a colon and then type that the parameter will be. So now we won't get any warnings at this stage, because nothing is actually invoking this method. But at some point in the future, if we try to call this method and pass it something other than a string, not only will the IDE tell us that we're passing in an argument of the wrong type. The compiler will also tell us when we try to build the application. So again, this eliminates a entire class of bugs which are caused by passing the wrong type of arguments into methods. We'll see all of these things in action as we work through the rest of the course and I'll call them out as necessary. We aren't actually going to be using this method. So I'm just gonna go back and remove it now. So in this lesson, we've learned a little bit about how we can leverage TypeScripts to eliminate classes of bugs. Such as bugs caused by passing the wrong types of arguments into methods, or having methods return the wrong types of values. Thanks for watching.
