Swedish actor behind viral blog beats cancer

Swedish actor Fabian Bolin, 28, who has appeared in several UK television shows and US movies, has announced to the world that he is cancer-free, just over a month after he was diagnosed.
The actor and model started the blog on July 1st, just days after being diagnosed with leukaemia – a blood cancer which develops in bone marrow.
"There is a risk that I will not survive," he posted in both English and Swedish.
But after weeks of gruelling chemo therapy doctors at the Karolinska Institute near Stockholm have revealed that Bolin is expected to return to complete health, the actor told his fans.
"We have just found out from the doctors at Karolinska the following: my entire blood system, and my spinal chord system, is now free from blood cancer. Just to be 100 percent clear to all of you, my beautiful angels: I have survived and killed my cancer," he wrote in this latest blog entry.
However, the actor is not yet at the end of the road to full recovery. He is set to undergo chemo therapy until February 2016 to ensure the cancer stays out of his system.
"Imagine the feeling in your heart when you've run up a long hill. Have you ever tried that? Or if you've ever been at a gym, if you've done a really hard cardio session. Now, think about how hard the heart beats. If you want to know how I feel, then add about five times to that heart feeling," wrote the 28-year-old in the blog post published late on Tuesday.

Bolin's heartfelt blog quickly went viral in July after being picked up by several Swedish and international media, including The Local.
"I feel so utterly sad and confused right now. I feel like it's unfair that I should have to go through this hell of a treatment, after fighting so hard to reach this stage in life and be on the cusp of fulfilling my acting dreams. But, I will not give up," read one of his earliest entries.
The star is best known for his role as Philipp in Swedish film Snabba Cash in 2010 (released internationally as Easy Money) and Snabba Cash II (2012), his first major parts after quitting a previous career in banking.
He has spent the past few years living in London where he's played small roles in British reality TV show Made in Chelsea and the recently released UK web sci-fi show Kosmos.

Reacting to the huge social media stir surrounding his blog, he told The Local last month: "the response is the best and most powerful experience ever".
"I'm in shock but in a good way. It wouldn't have been possible for all these people to come together without social media. It's amazing to see how many wonderful people there are out there."
Thanks to his contacts in the film and television industry, Bolin said at the time he had already been approached by production companies who are keen on turning his story into a documentary and added that he had received support from many fellow actors, including other Swedes he worked with on Snabba Cash.
"I decided to let people follow me on my journey from beginning to end and this enormous response makes me feel so empowered," he said.
Update: In 2019, Fabian Bolin founded the app WarOnCancer together with Sebastian Hermelin to improve mental health for everyone affected by cancer.

One of California's best sweet spots for great old-vine Zinfandel is a remote little valley in western Russian River not far from Forestville. The best-known vineyard there is Jackass Hill, which was first planted in 1889 and is notably bottled by Martinelli Winery.
Just down the hill, and once part of the original Giuseppe Martinelli ranch, is the 18-acre Martinelli Road Vineyard. It's not nearly as well known as Jackass Hill, but Turley bottled it under the Rancho Burro designation for many years, and Mike Officer at Carlisle launched a single-vineyard Martinelli Road in 2009, which I rated 94 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale.
I'd heard the vineyard was on the market months ago, and the original asking price was reportedly $1.6 million. Well, last week, the McWilliams family of Arista Winery purchased the vineyard for an undisclosed sum. It sounds like the vineyard is in good hands.
Mark McWilliams said his family has been shopping for new vineyards for more than a year, hoping to add to their existing 36 acres planted along Westside Road. And while Arista is best-known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the winery has been making Zinfandel since 2003. Martinelli Road has 5 acres of Zin, 10 acres of Chardonnay and 3 acres of Pinot Noir. "So this vineyard touched all of our buttons," McWilliams said. "We're thrilled to have it."
Surrounded by redwood trees, the region is known by locals as Crane Valley. It's a distinctive terroir. Cool at night like the rest of Russian River, but at the peak of summer it's remarkably warm during the day. As a result, the Zin develops full, ripe flavors but retains a bracing acidity. Achieving the right balance between the two can be a tightrope walk.
Joe Martinelli began farming the vineyard in 1934, when his father, Giuseppe, split his property among his three children. Joe's health has failed in recent years, and for the past few vintages only the Zinfandel has been harvested.
"The vineyard is significant for several reasons," Officer said. "One, it produces highly distinctive, delicious Zinfandels. Two, the vineyard is steeped in history and has been farmed by four generations. Three, it was (originally) planted in the 1880s and it's one of the oldest surviving vineyards in Sonoma County."
The McWilliams have hired noted vineyard manager Ulises Valdez to oversee the vineyard, and even though the Chardonnay and Pinot have been neglected for several years Valdez said the vines remain in remarkably good shape.
McWilliams will continue to sell Zinfandel to Carlisle but is also making plans for a single-vineyard Zin, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir under the Arista label in 2012.


They may be from different parts of the the county but taking on Roscommon in a Connacht Final is a once in a lifetime opportunity for James Flynn and Cian Clinton.
Captain James hails from right beside the Roscommon border in the parish of Kiltoghert while Dromahair is home for Cian but both are united in their desire to take on and beat Roscommon in next Saturday's Connacht Under 21 Championship Final.
Both players stress the team bond the County U21 side and how it will drive them on next Saturday as James said "Everybody from one to 15, the lads who came on, it was just perfect, it was a whole team effort, we're just happy with the whole way the thing has gone.
And Cian weighs in with how important that team-work is on the field - "The team bond, the belief, the focus and the desire to win this year is something that is very strong among us.
And although both see Roscommon as favourites, neither are over-awed by the prospect of taking on the Rossies - "Obviously they are favourites but it is something we thrive on and we just want to keep that going," said James.

Behold 'watermelon pizza,' TikTok's latest and weirdest food trend
Suddenly pineapple doesn't feel so controversial.
Would you try it?
Just when you think that all flavors of pizza have been created, guess again. A new version has rolled out and it's taking the internet by storm.
Its name? Watermelon pizza. You read that right. Watermelon + pizza. It's a thing.
Watermelon Sugar GIF by Harry StylesGiphy
You might be picturing watermelon as the topping in this unique dish—much like its fruity predecessor, the pineapple. But no. As the creator of watermelon pizza, Oliver Paterson, reveals in his now viral TikTok, the juicy fruit actually serves as the crust.
There are a few key details that make this recipe work, as Paterson, known on TikTok as @elburritomonster, explained to Fox News.
First, the watermelon has to be grilled on both sides for five minutes prior to toppings, to "remove as much moisture as possible to avoid a soggy mess," according to Paterson.
It's also "vital" to substitute the standard tomato-based sauce with barbecue sauce, as "BBQ is already a tried and tested flavor combination with watermelon." (I for one did not know this to be true, but sweet and tangy is a pretty unbeatable combo.)
@elburritomonster
I can't actually recommend this enough
♬ Watermelon Sugar - Paul Moonlight
Lastly, Paterson swaps out chorizo for the usual pepperoni. Then, voila. You have a dish that "tastes sweet and smoky, with fatty salty richness," he told Fox News.
However, get just one of these three things wrong and the results are less than fruitful. This was the case for Domino's Pizza in Australia when it tried and hilariously failed to recreate Paterson's recipe in its own TikTok video.
@dominosau
Y'all keep asking us for a low carb option 😏🍕Nah fr when we saw @elburritomonster make a watermelon pizza, we HAD to give it a go.
♬ original sound - Domino's Australia
Unsurprisingly, watermelon pizza has sparked a heated culinary debate online. Comments were across the board on this one, ranging between "I'm calling 911" to "I mean… add melted cheese to anything and it would be delicious."
No one seems to agree on the legitimacy of this new flavor combination. Still, watermelon has undoubtedly done the impossible—using it for pizza has put an end to the war on pineapple.
"Suddenly pineapple on pizza isn't so bad," one person admitted in the comments.
Another conceded, "Pineapple on pizza is normal compared to this."
There you have it, folks. Watermelon isn't just for outdoor picnics and a Harry Styles song. Not anymore.
Paterson seems to know a thing or two about creating quirky snack options. His TikTok is an online buffet of unique food creations—in particular, epic burritos.
You name it, and the guy has somehow turned it into a burrito. I'm not kidding.
Like this Scotch egg burrito:
Would you eat a Chorizo Scotch Egg and Chicken Burrito? 😅
♬ Gone up in Flames - Morning Runner
Why choose between a Scotch egg and a burrito, when you can have both?
Or this made-with-leftovers burrito:
Best use of leftover KFC 😋
♬ Paper Planes - M.I.A.
Un-clucking-believable.
And here's beef Wellington in burrito form:
Have a look at the recipe if you're in the mood for a ✨ fancy✨ Beef Welly Burrito 😁
♬ original sound - Elburritomonster
The cooking instructions are sung to Billie Eilish, no less.
As for his watermelon pizza, it might become a passing internet trend, as so many things on TikTok are. Or, it might surpass the Hawaiian, who knows? The only thing to know for sure is that life is about all kinds of experimentation.

Brendan Fraser showed up at a screening of 'The Mummy' completely decked out in costume
The audience went wild.
The Prince Charles Cinema/Youtube
Brendan Fraser dressed as Rick O'Connell.
Brendan Fraser might be making the greatest career comeback ever, racking up accolades and award nominations for his dramatic, transformative role in "The Whale." But the OG Fraser fans (the ones who watch "Doom Patrol" solely to hear his voice and proudly pronounce his last name as Fray-zure, for this is the proper pronunciation) have known of his remarkable talent since the 90s, when he embodied the ultimate charming, dashing—and slightly goofball—Hollywood action lead.
Let us not forget his arguably most well known and beloved 90s character—Rick O'Connell from the "Mummy" franchise. Between his quippy one-liners, Indiana Jones-like adventuring skills and fabulous hair, what's not to like?
During a double feature of "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" in London, moviegoers got the ultimate surprise when who should walk in but Brendan Fraser himself, completely decked out in Rick O'Connell attire. The brown leather jacket. The scarf. Everything.
"I am proud to stand before you tonight," he told the audience. "This is a film that was made in Britain. You should know that! Even the second one, too. Be proud. Thank you for being here."
He continued, "We didn't know if it was a drama or a comedy or a straight-ahead action or romance, a horror picture, more action, all of the above. No idea until it tested in front of British audiences. Thank you for that."
Fraser then asked the crowd if anyone hadn't actually seen the movie yet, before shouting, "Outstanding!" when somebody raised their hand. He then quickly made a polite plug encouraging people to go see "The Whale" before whisking himself away, saying, "I won't take up any more of your time."
Uh, yeah…I don't think any time spent with Brendan Fraser is a waste. Do you?
Watch the adorable clip below:
As to whether or not "Mummy" fans will ever see a new Rick O'Connell story up on the big screen—only time will tell. In the meantime, we'll keep watching this video on repeat.

Hilarious social media challenge has women ditching dating apps to find love at Home Depot
"Do you have an aisle specifically where single men are?"
via MeganLouise271/TikTok and Joleene_D/TikTok
Women are looking for love at Home Depot.
Even though people have endless options to find love these days, whether in real life or online, finding the perfect person still isn't easy. In fact, according to Pew Research, 55% of women believe dating is harder today than it was 10 years ago. So it's understandable that some are considering ditching the apps to meet people in real life.
Studies show that for people looking for a serious relationship, real life may be the better option.
According to Newsweek, a study by Illinois State University sociology professor Susan Sprecher found that young people who first met face to face were 25% more likely to report feelings of closeness than those who initially met online. Aditi Paul, a communications professor at Pace University in New York, found that people who first met in real life lasted four times longer than those who met online.
Single women who've been let down by the men they've met online have started a funny TikTok trend where they are going to Home Depot to find a husband. Why not? If you're looking for a hard-working man, that's probably where to find one.
It appears as though the trend first started on TikTok in 2021. "Ladies, no joke, Home Depot is where you go if you want to meet a man," TikTok user @meganlouise217 said.
@meganlouise217
Home Depot is made out of husband material. #datingadvice #husband #single #fyp #fyi
Holly Allen is a taken woman but she swears that the men are "everywhere" at Depot at 8:30 am on a Wednesday. "For all of you ladies who are trying to find the perfect soul mate. I've found them," she said.
@hollyallen95
For all my single ladies! #homedepot #singleladies #fyp #overthirty #foundthem
TikTok user @joleene_d took the trend to heart and went to the source, Home Depot employees, and asked them where to find the single men. "Do you have an aisle specifically where single men are?" she asked.
@joleene_d
Reply to @jenhealer I tried! @Home Depot. It didn't work. (two and a half weeks into my 4-week online dating experience.) #homedepot #onlinedating #single
It's not just the women who are looking to find a man at Home Depot.
@grindr
now it's all about finding love in the lumber aisle ✋😔 @tannertan36
However, finding love is hard no matter where you look for it. Some women complained that they visited their local Home Depot and came up empty-handed.
"Meh. Maybe A diff location," @latinkitty wrote.
@latinkittty
Meh. Maybe A diff location?😅🤣 #homedepot #fyp #MakeASplash #viral #single #fy #foryou #men #eyecandy #workingmen
"Where is the husband aisle?" @rileyontok asked.
@rileyontok
Out of stock 🤷♀ #homedepotchallenge #gossipgirlhere #fypシ #singlemom #trending #creator #greenscreenvideo #foryou #fyp #homedepot
Megan Louise has some words for those who say there are no single men to be found at Home Depot. She says they're going at the wrong time.
"A good man, he works, he works during the day," Megan said. "You have to go when they open at five. Because they're going there before work they're getting whatever they forgot, lost, or broke the day before. Now, they're in a hurry, late and probably haven't had coffee yet. So you need to be ready, have your number on paper, hand it to them and hope you believe in love at first sight because that's how it's going to happen."
She also says it's best to avoid Saturdays because that's when married men shop at Home Depot. She says Friday nights are great because all the taken men are out with their significant others.
Reply to @tinabear313 how to get a man at Home Depot pt 2 kinda... like for a pt3 #homedepot #datingadvice #single #homeimprovement #fyp #fyi
Even though picking up people at big-box retail locations may not be the best way to create a long-term relationship, the Home Depot challenge is an important reminder to get off our phones and meet people in real life for a change. You may be missing out on someone really special because you may find chemistry with someone in person who didn't stand out online.

A woman treats her miniature pig like a toddler and it even 'talks' with electronic buttons

A woman treats her pig like a toddler and the internet can't get enough.
Pigs are cute. Well, piglets are cute, but they usually don't stay those tiny little snorting things very long. That is unless you get a mini pig and name it something majestic like Merlin. (I would've gone with Hamlet McBacon, but no one asked me.)
Mina Alali, a TikTok user from California, has been going viral on the internet for her relationship with Merlin, her miniature pig. Of course, there are plenty of folks out there with pigs—mini pigs, medium pigs, pigs that weigh hundreds of pounds and live in a barn with a spider named Charlotte. But not everyone carries their pig around on adventures like it's their child.
Alali's videos of her sweet interactions with her little pig have gotten a lot of people wanting their own piggy, but training Merlin wasn't always easy. According to Yahoo Finance, the 25-year-old told SWNS that she has wanted a pig her whole life and finding Merlin was a "dream come true," but she wasn't expecting how challenging it would be to train him. If you've never been around pigs, then you may not know that they squeal—a lot—and unless you're living on an actual farm, that could be a problem.
Alali told SWNS that she had to teach Merlin how to be calm when he was being picked up or else he would scream. Thankfully, since then the little piggy has taken to people and enjoys being handled. "It's definitely an obstacle sometimes…You have to dedicate as much time and love and affection to [the pig], as you would a toddler," she explained to SWNS. The internet is rejoicing that she didn't give up on Merlin because her videos are so stinking cute.
@mina.alali
Replying to @alysa.evans Cried making this🥲 #merlinthepig #mina #adoption #pigsoftiktok #pig #piggy #fyp #xyzbca
And while this particular pig won't become huge since he's a mini Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, he will still get up to about 80 pounds once he's fully grown. But Merlin is ahead of the crowd when it comes to smarts because he can actually communicate with his mom using electronic buttons.
Finally feel appreciated around this place 🥹 #mydogtalks #merlinthepig #mina #pigsoftiktok #manners #thankyou #piggy #pig #fyp #xyzbca
Seriously, Merlin is making me want a pig, because how is he smarter than my dog, who would probably just eat the buttons instead of pressing them? But the adventures don't stop there. Alali also takes her furry little child to grab morning coffee.
still waiting on free Starbucks 😒 #merlinthepig #mina #pigsoftiktok #pig #piggy #FastTwitchContest #fyp #xyzbca
I mean, who doesn't want to see a miniature pot-bellied pig grabbing Starbucks with his mom? The baristas certainly seemed entertained and can you blame them? By the end of this Merlin is going to be a celebrity selling his own skin care line to the masses because he is beyond cute and has demonstrated that he even has manners.
While Merlin is certainly adorable and has amassed more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok with his mom, you probably still shouldn't run out and get a pig. Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs can weigh anywhere between 70 to 175 pounds and live up to 20 years, so owning your own version of Merlin is a commitment.
In the meantime, you can head on over to Alali and Merlin's TikTok page and soak up all the pig content you want.

More than seven thousand people shared their best ideas to stop mass shootings. Here are the best.
Everyone agrees mass shootings need to end. But what can really be done?
A makeshift memorial after the 2019 El Paso mass shooting.
As of January 24, 2023, at least 69 people have been killed in 39 mass shootings across the United States . The deadliest shooting happened on January 21 in Monterey Park, California, when a 72-year-old man shot 20 people, killing 11. On January 23, a 66-year-old man killed 7 people and injured another in a shooting in Half Moon Bay, California.
It's hard to see these stories in the news every few weeks—or days—and not get desensitized, especially when lawmakers have made it clear that they will not do anything substantive to curb the availability of assault weapons in the U.S.
After the assault weapons ban, which had been in effect for 10 years, lapsed in 2004, the number of mass shootings tripled.
To find a glimmer of hope in such a dire situation, Reddit user Themissrebecca103 asked the online forum, "What could be done to prevent mass shootings?" and received nearly 16,000 responses. Many of the solutions looked past the intractable gun debate to the root causes that drive people to act out violently.
Total Deaths in US Mass Shootings 1982-2021.
Here are seven of the most thought-provoking potential solutions to the mass shooting problem.
1. Change attitudes around guns.
"There's no quick answer, in part because 'mass shootings' combine many different underlying issues.
If we are talking about high-profile mass shootings, our problem in the USA relates to several overlapping issues:
It is relatively easy to acquire firearms. The legal mechanisms to deny a high risk person firearms are very limited. Every country produces a small percentage of deeply problematic people; ours is unique in arming them.
American culture around firearms is deeply problematic. Other heavily armed wealthy nations, like the commonly compared Switzerland, make the use of firearms a responsibility of being a good citizen. American culture all too often celebrates firearms as an extra-legal tool for imposing your will.
The modern world is a lonely world. People spend much more time alone now. This gets far beyond the scope of this reply, but many of our traditional social organizations have failed to adapt to the modern world. Young people are increasingly left without a community or direction. This amplifies the above issues.
Combined, these speak to mass shootings as a consequence of low social cohesion on a legal, cultural, and institutional level. Addressing that is multi-generational work." — CxEnsign
2. Take mental health seriously.
"Make therapy more easily accessible for people who are middle or lower class. And actually take mental health and bullying seriously, instead of falsely advocating for it and brushing it off when people need serious mental help." — AshtheArtist
The makeshift memorial outside Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park on January 23rd 2023.
3. Do something about red flags.
"People need to have real honest conversations with their loved ones and friends when the red flags go flying. Many of these shootings are not random and the warning signs were present. Help that woman escape her abuser, tell your brother to grow the fuck up and stop being abusive, take your son's firearms when you know they are an abusive alcoholic, etc… Most of these people don't live in isolation and people turn a blind eye because they feel it's not their problem or place to insert themselves. Be brave and speak up. It could save someone's life." — SometimesILieToo
4. Change the media.
Shut down the news stations and pundits which are drumming up mentally ill people into thinking they're in a fight-for-your-life scenario which justifies mass murder to them?" — ConnieHormoneMonster
5. Foster the development of happy, healthy people.
"Usually in these mass acts of violence, there are signs that people see beforehand. Posts made online, behavior at work or school or at home, basically a known history of struggle. By the time the incidents occur, there's always a person that knew them before, that saw it coming a mile away.
There aren't really resources or protocols for people like this, and removing the weapons from their hands feels like a band aid solution to a much bigger problem.
Happy, healthy people don't go on mass killing sprees, and our current environment isn't exactly producing healthy, happy people. I mean, just look at how many of us are on prescription drugs because we can't cope with the way society is set up. We're on drugs for depression and anxiety and emotional regulation and hormonal regulation because everything is imbalanced. Almost all of us are poor, just a couple of missed paychecks away from being homeless. We're constantly seeking mental stimulation because if we have to think beyond the surface for a minute we start falling apart. We're battling malnutrition without even realizing it because most of us are battling obesity. In other countries the raw fruits and veggies taste better and are more filling, people will travel and lose weight despite eating many of the same kinds of foods, the only difference is the lack of chemicals and preservatives inside.
This society isn't producing happy, healthy people. And some of us can cope with it better than others.
Here, there are three options. You can work 40+ hours a week from the ages of 18 to the day you die and barely make ends meet, you can try an alternative path and end up homeless or close to it, or you can basically win a lottery that either lets you comfortably work less than 40 hours a week, allows you to retire early, or lets you pursue a lucrative passion that doesn't feel like work. Most of us choose the first option.
You can disarm them, but then you've still got creatives that will use their cars or craft an explosive.
Treatment is probably the second best option we have. Ideally, we would know someone that sets off alarm bells, and we could call a doctor for them. They'd spend a few months getting help, and come back better.
But that isn't how it's set up. There aren't resources for this. You can't force people to get therapy. You can't just call the cops on people that haven't committed a crime, because you think one day they might commit a crime.
And it sucks, because we all know the signs. Sometimes we try to call someone for help, and there just isn't a department for that.
The best option would be to create a better environment for everyone, encourage community and friendships and strengthen the bond between people to promote love and harmony, fix the food situation, fix the income situation, promote better and more diverse ways of living. Because if you don't feel depressed and angry and alone, you won't be at risk of falling into the mindset of someone who does these sorts of things.
America's gun violence is a symptom of a much larger problem, and the ones who want to fix that problem don't have the means to do so. The ones who have the means to fix it either don't know why it's happening, or don't care why it's happening.
Until we stop offering bandaid solutions that would be ineffective or minimally effective, we will continue to see this kind of behavior." — SourBlue1992
President Barack Obama delivers a statement in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House regarding the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Dec. 14, 2012.
6. It starts at home.
"As a teacher, it starts with kids needing love and care at home, which leads to people having their basic Maslow needs met so they aren't constantly struggling. And mental health needs to become a priority instead of something we mostly ignore in the US. Kids (and adults) seek power and a sense of control through a gun because it's missing in the rest of their life." — Amherst 2023
7. Stop turning shooters into celebrities in the media.
I'm British. I don't know what's best for Americans as well as they do. But here's some thoughts:
I don't think you can copy-paste UK policy to the US. it's like changing someone's intrinsic identity. Take Iran for example. One of the lowest alcohol mortality rates. Imagine an Iranian saying to a British person 'why don't you just ban alcohol! It causes so much death. We banned it and our rate of mortality due to alcohol is one of the lowest in the world.'
You'd say something like "why should I give up something I enjoy and is part of my culture because a few bad apples take it too far?"
From talking to them, Americans view guns the same way. 'Why does someone else doing wrong with guns have any bearing on me who's just using it for fun/protection?'
I'd say a mix is gun regulations and mental health support and not making martyrs of shooters has the best chance." — allthetaimpdetime

People rally behind a 12-year-old actress who was 'humiliated' with a 'Razzie' nomination
The parody awards show has now enforced an age limit rule to its nominations.
Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the 2022 film 'Firestarter'
Since the early 80s, the Golden Raspberry Awards, aka the "Razzies," has offered a lighthearted alternative to the Oscars, which, though prestigious, can sometimes dip into the pretentious. During the parody ceremony, trophies are awarded to the year's worst films and performances as a way to "own your bad," so the motto goes.
However, this year people found the Razzies a little more than harmless fun when 12-year-old actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong was nominated for "Worst Actress" for her performance in the 2022 film "Firestarter." She was 11 when the movie was filmed.
Sadly, this is not the first time a child has received a Razzie nom. Armstrong joins the ranks of Jake Lloyd, who played young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace," as well as Macaulay Culkin, who was nominated three times.
Armstrong's nomination resulted in a flood of comments from both industry professionals and fans who felt the action was cruel and wanted to show their support for the young actress.
"The Razzies have sunk to a new low by nominating an eleven-year-old girl — whose performance I actually dug," tweeted filmmaker Joe Russo of the Russo Brothers. "If you're gonna continue denigrating people's hard work — which you shouldn't — at least target adults."

Julian Hilliard, a fellow child actor known for "The Haunting of Hill House," added, "The razzies are already mean-spirited & classless, but to nominate a kid is just repulsive & wrong. Why put a kid at risk of increased bullying or worse? Be better."
Due to the backlash, the Razzies eventually retracted Armstrong's nomination and set a new age rule that no one under the age of 18 could receive a nomination moving forward.
In a statement, Razzie Award founder John Wilson wrote, "Sometimes, you do things without thinking, Then you are called out for it. Then you get it. It's why the Razzies were created in the first place."

— The Razzie® Awards (@RazzieAwards) January 25, 2023
He continued, "The recent valid criticism of the choice of 11-year-old Armstrong as a nominee for one of our awards brought our attention to how insensitive we've been in this instance. As a result, we have removed Armstrong's name from the Final Ballot that our members will cast next month. We also believe a public apology is owed Ms. Armstrong, and wish to say we regret any hurt she experienced as a result of our choices."
The statement concluded, "We all make mistakes, very much us included. Since our motto is 'Own Your Bad,' we realize that we ourselves must also live up to it."
Only last year, the Razzies were again the subject of criticism after featuring a special "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie" category. The joke was quickly rescinded after Willis' aphasia diagnosis became public and his family announced that he would be stepping away from acting due to his neurological disorder.
While part of "owning your bad" is certainly acknowledging a mistake, another important step is taking action that prevents further harm from happening. Luckily it seems that the Razzies are at least attempting to deliver that with their latest rule adjustments.

Academically speaking, I'm a pretty good student. I always make sure my scores are above 80. But never have I ever dreamt of scoring a perfect score in Math. This is probably because of the mental conditioning that a perfect Math score MIGHT not be possible because it is annoyingly easy to make silly mistakes. We carry this impression all through our lives and believe that getting a cent percent in Maths is impossible.
Do you also feel the same way?
I was of the same school of thought until I spoke to some of our toppers and discovered their secret formula to a flawless 170.
YOU could score a perfect 170 in GRE Quant? You wouldn't believe me. Of course.
Would you believe me if I told you HOW? Maybe? Alright.
GRE Math is a little different from high school math, not in terms of the concepts (which are pretty similar), but more in terms of their application. It tests your ability to interpret given data correctly and critically reason rather than just test your knowledge on formulae and concepts.
Looking to make your GRE quant practice even more effective?
Click on the link below to download a free eBook containing the strategies of someone who scored a perfect 170 in the Quantitative section., containing handy tricks to boost your accuracy and speed as well as useful GRE math formulas you absolutely need to know!
Silly mistakes fall under this category. This is the main reason why most people fall short of the perfect score. You make these mistakes when you calculate something that is not required or not asked for because you didn't understand the question correctly or you didn't follow the method properly.
For example, if the given question asks you to calculate x2 but you mark the answer as soon as you calculate the value of x.
These are the kind of mistakes that occur when you aren't clear with your concepts. It is commonly seen in students when they attempt questions on Geometry because they have trouble visualizing an object in a three-dimensional space.
Alright, now that you know what GRE Quant contains and the mistakes you should be aware of, let's look at some of the techniques we can utilise to overcome this, shall we?
Since there are 20 questions in one GRE Quantitative Reasoning section and 35 minutes to answer, logically it follows that you can spend almost 2 minutes per question if you want to answer all of them.
I know that 2 minutes sounds like an awfully short amount of time for solving full-fledged GRE math questions, but trust me, it is just sufficient if you are thorough with the concepts.
In fact, try this question and time yourself.
How much time did YOU take to arrive at the answer?
GREedge Pro Tip: For questions of a difficulty level of 4 and 5, you can spend up to 2 minutes on it. If you are taking longer than 2 minutes, take an intelligent guess, select a choice and mark it for verification so that you can come back to it later.
Most of the answer choices for questions include those options that you would mark if you make some of the common silly mistakes. DON'T fall prey to them. They are designed to test how alert you are while giving the test.
Calculating x and marking it as an answer while the question asks for x2 is a perfect example because one of the answer choices will carry the value of x as an option.
Q. If x² + 6x = –9, how many values of x are possible?
The two roots are equal and identical, but the "value" of x is only one i.e -3.
But after factorizing, you can see that the two roots are identical and hence only one value of x is possible. The question here asks for "values" and not "roots".
You can save massive amounts of time by just substituting simple values in place of variables.
This works especially well in quantitative comparison questions.
Q. Compare quantities A & B and choose the correct option.
Is A greater than B?
Is A lesser than B?
Is A equal to B?
The answer to this question is option 2: A is lesser than B.
GREedge Pro Tip: Substitute numbers in place of equations because the solution required is not the answer to the equation but the comparison between the two.
You can plug in different answer choices into appropriate parts of the question in an effort to work backwards. This tactic is especially useful if you want to bypass difficult calculations.
Q. Find the radius of the cylinder when h = 3 cm and volume = 38 cm³.
Therefore, r = [38/(3.14 x3)]½ is a long calculation and a waste of time.
Instead, try backsolving! Plug in an answer into the formula and compare it to the given volume.
TECHNIQUE #5: Tackle word problems one sentence at a time.
Don't be overwhelmed by the size of the word problem.
These type of questions generally worry students because they have to understand the question in English and then convert the statements into mathematical equations.
GREedge Pro Tip: Remember to Divide & Rule. Write down what is given and what needs to be solved separately. Use the given statements to form equations and you'll be able to find what's needed.
Using given statement 2 → 5th test is for a total of 250 marks → Total marks = 400 + 250 = 650.
Overall average before 5th test = 80%.
After 5th test, overall average = 85%.
Therefore, the boy's score in the 5th test is 232.5 out of 250!
Another reason why students lose out on a perfect score is because they glance at the graph and not analyse it thoroughly. Especially those that have multiple questions based on them.
Take your time to understand what the graph represents.
Read the title for a clear understanding of the graph.
Units as required by the question.
GREedge Pro Tip: Keep a note of the mistakes you make. You can also track it topic wise so that you know just where you need to focus.
TECHNIQUE #7: Take as many timed, full-length tests as you can.
The GRE lasts for 3 hours and 45 minutes. It is mentally challenging as well as physically taxing. But with the right amount of practice, you can train your mind to stay alert throughout.
Most of our students say they don't feel the time passing by and before they know it, the most important exam of their lives is over!
Don't let that happen to you. Pace yourself using timed tests.
Start warming up for a perfect score today, with something just as effective as the official GRE quantitative reasoning practice questions!

Can you provide a study plan to prepare GRE in a month? I have booked my slot on oct 25th. And I wanted to apply for Fall '17.
Good Luck! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
i wrote gre three months ago and scored 160 in quants. My main weaknesses as of i know is data interpretation(mostly of level four and five). my weakness in verbal is reading comprehensions.i really want to score a minimum of 165 in quants and 155 in verbal.can you provide a study plan for 30-45 days?
Thanks for writing to us. GREedge specializes in providing a customized study plan for our students depending on their strengths and weaknesses, along with 2 personal trainers, one for Quant and one for Verbal.
We would love to help you achieve your target scores within the time your have for your GRE date!
Please drop in your details here: http://bit.ly/2eFCMOe and our student counselors will contact you at a time of your preference to discuss how we can help you with your GRE preparation.
Do let me know if you have any doubts on any other topic. I'd be happy to help.
in technique 5, isn't a 5% increase of 80% = 84%?
This is how we get 5 percent increase from 80% as 85%.
Actually, I agree with Shehryar, it is not 5%, it is 5% points. One can get two different answers, but in the case you provided would have to assume a common incorrect interpretation of a percentage increase.
would you please suggest me some books & important materials?? I have only 2 months for preparation. Can you provide a study plan to prepare GRE in 2 month?
Hey bro do you have any tests portals?
Any one having gre tests from any institute?
Hey do you have any cheat sheet for quant?
If yes please share me!
How Should Engineers Prepare For GRE?


Sinbad is a young man on a quest for redemption, condemned to keep searching for a way to lift the curse that chains him to the seas, until he can find the goodness in himself. Sinbad provides for himself and his family by fighting for money, but inadvertently kills a man, causing him to escape to sea as a stowaway. The 8th century Arabia is a melting pot of cultures, faiths and creatures; full of life and color, but also threatening and volatile. Before their journey is over, Sinbad and his crew of outcasts will not only have to brave their own demons, but some of the most dangerous enemies imaginable.


Mockup #2: The same as the project details mockup shown here, but in the mode where the project has been finished and the proposal that ended up getting used is highlighted.
Mockup #3: A listing of all the projects going on right now. Maybe link to an archive of old ones. Each project should have a little preview of the activity going on 'new proposal posted yesterday by jambalaya joe' etc. Deadlines and status should be shown too.
I know at least four of you (hi pcon, Arkanis, Yannik, and Colin Z.! 🙂 ) besides the folks at Isotope11 have expressed interest in helping out on the implementation of this project. I believe there is or will be a public git repo for it – the project is open source but we haven't really talked too much about sharing the code yet, I'll keep you posted.
I make 2048×1536 ("standard") 4:3 and 1280×1024 5:4.
The timeline is a great idea, but you could simplify by drawing the ranges o one level, not as stair. The white outline is subtle for the bright yellow tag, but distracting with the green. I'd try no outline or a black one.
The Like/Dislike is likely to lead to quick reflexive and highly subjective responses. Maybe other terms could encourage more thought, keeping the specific goals and requirements of a project in mind? For example adequate/inadequate.
Also worth a though: require a comment giving reasons before a user can vote.
The thing is that I would like to have a projectplaner, a wiki, a Lightbox (with very small editing tools in it) and a announcement and/or mailsystem in the whole Collab-System.
So, the tool should be doing some more as "only" show us a new mockup, make annotations and so on.
I think you're on to something here, Máirín. You know how the aesthetics of one's working environment can alter the very way people *think* about their work? Perhaps it's time to let go of the crufty old mailman mailing lists and all their UNIXy arrogance towards the realities of the modern world?

Daren Sammy Cricket Ground
4 15000 Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia
Surrounded by the lush forested Beausejour Hills, Saint Lucia's national stadium is pretty as a picture. This very modern Caribbean cricket stadium seats up to 20,000 and has played host to some top class action.
It was chosen as the venue for the 2007 World Cup semi-final between South Africa and Australia. In 2010's World Twenty20 tournament it provided the backdrop for England's successful Super 8 and semi-final matches on their way to victory.
Like many West Indian cricket grounds Beausejour was transformed for the World Cup and new gyms, pavilions and balconies make it a favourite for visiting teams. Beausejour translates as 'beautiful stay' and there's definitely something about the setting that makes you want to linger.
Daren Sammy, modern day Windies wonder
Can the Windies ever dominate the game again? The dazzling days of West Indian cricket may seem a hazy memory but in 2012 there was promise of a new dawn. Re-lighting the torch is Daren Sammy – the first Saint Lucian ever to play test cricket.
This right-handed batsman and fast-medium bowler, made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in 2004. While not taking the meteoric path beaten by some of his predecessors, Sammy has made solid progress towards greatness. On his Test debut against England in 2007, he took 7/66 – the best bowling figures for a West Indian since 1950. Since then his all-round abilities have taken him from useful team member to essential stalwart to captain in 2010.
Sammy is not the flashiest player but can bowl for long spells, drawing on endurance and consistency. He calls himself a 'workhorse' and this speaks volumes about an approach which has made the Windies a contender again. Where once the Windies were mercurial now, under Sammy's guidance, they are more workmanlike.
"We all have roles in the team and I've clearly understood what my role is in the team, which is to build pressure and be the workhorse of the team. I've accepted that and that's how I've played throughout my career."
On the way to winning the Twenty20 trophy in 2012, Sammy was worryingly lacklustre. But in the final the workhorse was spurred into action. He notched up 26 not out from 15 balls and took two key wickets for a true captain's performance.

Much of the readings for these past weeks have been about signs that God gave the people that God would be doing something new in the person of Jesus Christ.
The idea that God is changing and changes God's own mind is distressing for some. They view that God should know all and sees all, and therefore, God's choices should be cemented in stone.
However, the Hebrew Bible is adamant that God often changes God's mind to work with people instead of giving them statements from on high. Of course, God does this, too. I'm only implying that God seems to . . . I dunno.
Yes. Maybe that's what it is. God changes and does something new, because God needs to be connected with humanity and all of creation in a new, active way.
That's how our God is different from the Greek Gods of old. The God of the Hebrews interacts and changes, and is a new, living God . . . for us.

HYPERCAR MARKET TO GROW BY 43% IN 2022; ONTARIO IGAMING OFF TO A FAST START; FERRARI AUCTION
by Staff Writer | Jun 19, 2022 | Cars, Gambling, Motor
The global hypercar market size is expected to grow from $18.34 billion in 2021 to $26.16 billion in 2022, at a compound annual growth rate of 42.7 per cent.
Related: From Aston Martin to Porsche: The A to Z of supercars
That's according to Business Research Company research, released yesterday. According to the study, the global hypercar market size will hit $94.99 billion in 2026. A hypercar features an ultralight and ultra-aerodynamic design. It also has a hybrid-electric propulsion system that provides extremely high fuel efficiency and minimal emissions.
Asia-Pacific is the largest region in the hypercar market, accounting for 44.7 per cent of the global market in 2021. That's followed by Western Europe, North America and the other regions. The study says the fastest growing regions in the hypercar market will be Asia-Pacific and Western Europe (35.1 per cent and 33.6 per cent respectively, from 2021-2026).

Rare Ferrari heads to auction
One of the rarest modern Ferraris is heading to auction, a one-off Bianco Avus Enzo. It's to be sold by RM Sotheby's without reserve through a private auction. Bidding will be open for 24 hours beginning on 29 June.
Any Ferrari Enzo is a rare jewel befitting of any serious supercar collection, but chassis 133023 is an even more special machine. One of fewer than 20 "Extracampionario" cars finished in a non-standard color. That's a privilege reserved exclusively for Maranello's most valued and discerning clients. This remarkable Enzo is the only example of that cohort — and indeed the full production run — to be specified in the shade of Bianco Avus.
This unique Ferrari Enzo was completed in May 2003, finished in the striking combination of Bianco Avus over Nero leather interior. The interior has Rosso Corsa instruments. Plus it has extra-large carbon fiber bucket seats complete with rare 3D black cloth inserts. As with many of the finest examples of the Prancing Horse, this phenomenal Enzo is recognized by Maranello with Ferrari Classiche certification awarded in November 2012.
IPSOS study: iGaming numbers in Ontario raise eyebrows
Ontarians and Canadians alike are making more online bets than ever, according to an Ipsos survey.
A regulated igaming market launched in Ontario April 4. One-third (33%) of Ontario adults surveyed said they were registered with at least one online gambling website. That puts them just above the Canadian national average of 30%. The Atlantic Region has the highest proportion of Canadian adults registered to play at 41%. Then there's B.C. and Ontario at 33%, followed by Quebec at 26%, Alberta at 24% and Manitoba/Saskatchewan at 22%.
The average Canadian who gambles online is registered with three or four websites (3.6 is the national average). Atlantic Canada leads the country on number of websites used, at an average of 4.7. Manitoba/Saskatchewan are the lowest at 2.7.

E-commerce boom doubles demand for DS Smith cardboard boxes

Online shopping during lockdowns has given a massive boost to cardboard box manufacturer DS Smith as demand for its packaging rockets.
Miles Roberts, chief executive of the FTSE 100 company that supplies customers across Europe and the US, said: "Every week for the past eight weeks has been busier than in the run up to Christmas despite the massive wider economic damage from coronavirus."
In the UK, demand for DS Smith's food and flower packaging has more than doubled, while clothes and leisure products packaging has been up more than 60pc.
Another growth area is medicine packaging, where demand has doubled.
"This is a long-term trend which is not going to go away," Mr Roberts said. "People are staying out of A&E, doctors are sending out prescriptions and people are ordering medicine online."
Markets Hub – DS Smith PLC
While online shopping has delivered a boost, DS Smith's industrial clients such as automotive and construction business and which make up about a fifth of the company's sales, have suffered.
DS Smith said revenue fell by 2pc to £6bn for the year to April 30, while pre-tax profit was 5pc better at £368m, as margins improved.
Revenues were lifted by addition of Europac, which the company purchased for €1.7bn (£1.5bn) last year, but a drop in cardboard offset this.
The closure of recycling businesses during lockdowns that generate the feedstock for DS Smith's products meant materials costs rose, and implementing social distancing and other measures to work through the pandemic also delivered a financial hit.
Despite the strong performance, DS Smith cancelled the final dividend, having said in April it would not pay an interim one. The decision will save the company more than £200m.
Shares sank 9pc to 297p.
Mr Roberts added: "I know some commentators are not happy about the dividend and accuse us of being over cautious. "But protecting the company is my first priority and there is too much uncertainty to pay it.
The Covid-19 pandemic's impact on the global economy will become increasingly apparent during the third quarter. While the Q2 was mostly about putting out fires and preventing a total collapse of the global economy, the repair work now begins in earnest. Since April, the economic impact of months of lockdowns […]

Spanish 1 is an introduction to the Spanish language. Students are expected to learn to COMMUNICATE in Spanish; speaking, writing, listening and reading. They are also introduced to the culture of Spanish-speaking people.
I am a proud member of the Inaugural Coyote Staff. I am deeply invested in the success of our school, staff and students. My career as an educator started after an amazing preparation at Grand Canyon University 26 years ago. I love teaching and making a difference in the lives of our students through positive and effective relationships.
In addition to teaching Spanish, I assist students in developing a strong portfolio in community service. Whether through Key Club, GC105, or some other organization, I think a tremendous amount of growth comes through service to others. Colleges and universities know this and look for students who have dedicated themselves to volunteering and investing in their communities. One aspect of Key Club is our dedication to honoring our nation's veterans. Through Veterans Heritage Project, we pair students with vets. The vet is interviewed by the student. The student then writes an essay which is published in a book called Since You Asked and is cataloged in the Library of Congress.
I have accepted a new challenge this year in becoming the Digital Media 1, 2 and 3 teacher. This means I will produce the CVTV broadcast. I am excited about the opportunity to join the CTE department and help those students with an interest in film and broadcasting to have a creative outlet.
I have been a "Stuco Kid" since I was in high school and am honored to work with the Student Council of CVHS. Our council is awesome; planning all types of events on campus that benefit the entire student body. It is hard work, but it is a ton of fun, too!
Lastly, my favorite pastime is traveling. Culture Club spends every summer traveling to the most-incredible places! Whether to Australia and New Zealand, England, France and Spain, or Costa Rica and Nicaragua, our students LIVE the experiences others only read about. Join us in 2018 as we embark on a service-oriented trip!

Backtrack: After picking up a 5-3 win at home on Tuesday against Iowa, the Barracuda hit the road for a tilt at Ontario on Friday and then at Bakersfield on Saturday. On Friday, against the Reign, San Jose led three different times and put up a franchise record 56 shots on net but fell 8-4. In the loss, Alex True became just the seventh player in franchise history to reach the 20-goal mark. San Jose's 27 third-period shots were the most in a single period in franchise history and the eight goals against matched the most given up in franchise history (4x). On Saturday, the Condors, coming off their first loss in 18 games, opened up the contest with the first five goals before San Jose netted a pair late to make it 5-2. After the loss, the Barracuda now sit five points behind Bakersfield for the top spot in the Pacific Division.
A look ahead: The Barracuda await the arrival of the Condors on Wednesday in the second of three consecutive games against the Edmonton Oilers affiliate. Since beating Bakersfield 4-0 on December 9, SJ has fallen in the last three-straight against Bako and are now 3-2-1-1 this season against the Condors.
Home-Ice Advantage: The Barracuda return to the Tank on Wednesday boasting the AHL's sixth-best home-winning percentage (.720) and best in the Pacific Division. The Barracuda are a +18 at home and are coming off back-to-back wins. Wednesday kicks off a five-game home stand which matches the longest of the season. After Saturday, San Jose and Bakersfield will play just one more time in the regular season (Mar. 30 @ BAK).
Joe the Wall: Josef Korenar saw his three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday but still ranks T-eighth in the AHL in wins (19), seventh goals-against average (2.43), T-10th in save percentage. Korenar is now 2-2 against Bakersfield with a 2.27 GAA and a .925 SV%.
Gambo Goin': Rookie forward Dylan Gambrell is T-10th in the AHL among first-year players in points (37) and eighth in points-per-game (.97). The former Denver Pioneer is second on the Barracuda in points, T-second in goals (15), fourth in assists (22), and fourth in shots (106) despite playing in just 38 games.
True That: Sophomore center Alex True collected his team-leading ninth multi-point night of the season on Friday and the fourth multi-goal effort of his career. True is first on the Barracuda in points (43), first in goals (20), third in assists (23), second in points-per-game (.83), second in shots (108), first in game-winning goals and first in shooting percentage (18.5%).
Dynamic Dezy: Barracuda blueliner Nick DeSimone ranks T-11th among all AHL d-men in points (35), T-eighth in goals (10), T-12th in assists and T-10th in power-play goals. DeSimone is just the fourth defenseman in Barracuda history to reach the double-digit goal mark and now ranks T-fifth on the team in goals, second in assists, fourth in points, and fourth in power-play goals.
Well Disciplined: Only the Rockford (9.68) IceHogs have taken fewer penalties per game than the Barracuda (10.83).
Lots of Rubber: The Barracuda put a franchise record 56 shots on net on Friday and now rank fifth in the AHL in shots-per-game (32.54).

Madonna was originally sent "Get The Party Started" before passing it off to P!nk.
P!nk's career could have looked a lot different without "Get the Party Started." The track served as the pop star's lead single off her sophomore album, Missundaztood.
Grammy award winning songwriter, Linda Perry, recalled the song's creation process in a new interview with Rolling Stone. She said she wrote it with radio's current trends in mind.
"'Get the Party Started' was just me figuring out what all this stuff does. I came up with that beat, laid it down, found all these weird chords and sounds and put the horns," she said. "Then I went back to my guitar for the wah-wahs. I was just having fun. I picked up a microphone and said, "I'm just going to say every clichéd line I can think of." And I came up with, "Get the party started on a Saturday night" and wrote a bunch of stuff down. I called up my manager afterwards and said, 'I just wrote a damn hit.' It was too easy.
Curiously, Perry sent it to the Queen of Pop, but she wasn't ready to get the party started.
It makes a lot of sense Madonna passed on "Get This Party Started." She gave birth to her son Rocco in 2000, and in 2001 would embark on the Drowned World Tour in support of the Ray Of Light and Music albums. It was time to get the party started, just not for Madonna.

Q: can't understand how does scala operation functions in Apache spark hello everyone,
so I started to learn about Apache spark architecture and I understand how the data flow works in higher-level.
what I learn is that spark jobs work on stages that have tasks to operate on RDDS in which they are created with lazy transformations starting from the Spark console. (correct me if I'm wrong)
what I didn't get it :

*

*there are other types of data structures in Spark: Data Frame and Dataset, and there are functions to manipulate them,
so what is the relation between those functions and the tasks applied on RDDs ?

*coding with Scala has operations on RDD which is logic as far as I know, and there is also other types of data structure that I can do operations on them and manipulate them like list, Stream, vector, etc...  so my question is
so how can spark execute these operations if they are not applied on RDDS ?

*I have an estimation of time-complexity of each algorithm operating on any type of data structure of Scala referring to the official documents but I can't find the estimation of time-complexity of operations on RDDS, for example, count() or ReduceKey() applied in RDDS.
why we can't we evaluate exactly the complexity of Spark-app, and is it possible to evaluate elementary tasks complexities ?
more formally, what are RDDS and what is the relation between them and everything in Spark
if someone can clarify to me this confusion of information, I'd be grateful.

A: so what is the relation between those functions and the tasks applied on RDDs ?
DataFrames, Datasets, and RDD are three API from Spark. Check out this link
so how can spark execute these operations if they are not applied on RDDS?
RDD are structural Data structures, Actions and Transformation specified by Spark can be applied on RDD. Within RDD action or transformation, we do apply some of scala native operations. Each Spark API has it's own set operations. Read the link as shown in previous to get a better idea on how parallelism is achieved in the operations
why we can't we evaluate exactly the complexity of Spark-app, and is it possible to evaluate elementary tasks complexities ?

Q: Why each cell of my GridLayout fills the screen I've git a custom view that i want to display as GridLayout cell. But each view is streched and fills the entire screen and i don't understand why. Here's the code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/fr.infral.android.test"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:rowCount="2"
    android:columnCount="2" >
    <fr.infral.widget.TileView
        android:id="@+id/tileViewTest_default"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="0" />
    <fr.infral.widget.TileView
        android:id="@+id/tileViewTest_top"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="1"
        app:primaryAction="@drawable/infral_logo__top"
        app:primaryText="Infral logo's top" />
    <fr.infral.widget.TileView
        android:id="@+id/tileViewTest_bottom"
        android:layout_row="1"
        android:layout_column="0"
        app:captionAlign="top"
        app:primaryAction="@drawable/infral_logo__bottom"
        app:primaryText="Infral logo's bottom"
        app:secondaryAction="@drawable/launcher_icon"
        app:secondaryText="What an image !" />
</GridLayout>

And here is a summary of what's important in my custom view :
public class TileView extends RelativeLayout {

    {
        inflate(getContext(), R.layout.tile_view, this);
    }

    public TileView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TileView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public TileView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }
}

And the inflated layout :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/tile_primaryAction"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:clickable="true" />
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/tile_caption"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:weightSum="1"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:paddingLeft="16dp"
            android:paddingTop="16dp"
            android:paddingBottom="16dp"
            android:orientation="vertical" >
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/tile_primaryText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:hint="Nocte Caelum" />
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/tile_secondaryText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="12sp"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:hint="Lorem ipsum" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/tile_secondaryAction"
            android:layout_width="48dp"
            android:layout_height="48dp"
            android:clickable="true" />
    </LinearLayout>

So for clarification : i want to understand why cells fill the entire screen, and how to modify it so that the GridLayout fills the entire screen and divides it space among its children.

Vestfold Hills is one of the rare places in Antarctica where the response of marine and terrestrial environments to past environmental change can be reconstructed in detail through the sedimentary record. To date, lake sediments have been used to reconstruct Holocene palaeoenvironmental conditions including ice sheet retreat and relative sea level. The Pliocene marine sediments of Marine Plain also provided insights to a warmer Antarctic coastal zone from 4.5-4.1 Ma BP. The formation and preservation of the Marine Plain sediments highlights the possibility of other deposits in Vestfold Hills that may provide a window into other time intervals. Trenches in Heidemann Valley revealed a deep sedimentary record, although dating the glacial sediments there has been difficult. New data using geophysical techniques reveal that the sediment-filled valleys of Vestfold Hills potentially contain many similar sedimentary sections. Resistivity profiles and seismic lines across Marine Plain suggest as much as 15 m of sediment below the surface in places, while seismic lines from valleys north of Davis Station show sediment thicknesses of at least 30 m in places. In these valleys, Holocene marine sediments rest on undated glacial sediments which are probably Pliocene to Holocene in age. Offshore from Davis Station, multibeam bathymetry reveals sediment-filled basins that could extend the sea level and hence ice volume history of the region beyond the current limit of 8500 years.
