10 Times Traditionally 'Nice Guy' Actors Played Evil Roles
in Lists, Movies
Ipshita Barua February 25, 2021, 7:05 am
The best way to shock the audience is by giving them something they never expected. Sometimes directors cast actors against their type to amplify the impact of a plot twist. Actors known for playing heroic roles are projected as the good guys in the first half of the story. As things proceed, the writer suddenly drops a bomb on our head by revealing the stereotyped hero as the bad guy. The characters are not necessarily 'villains' but can be morally challenged. These are excellent tricks for adding surprise elements in dramatic films. Here are the 10 times when 'nice guy' actors played evil roles in movies. SPOILER ALERT!
Tom Hanks in 'The Circle'
Out of all the traditionally nice actors, casting Tom Hanks as a deceptive greedy man was a sin against his fans. Director James Ponsoldt used Hanks' trustworthy persona to his advantage. Both the audience and Emma Watson's character were blinded by Hanks' endearing charm in 'The Circle'. It was unnerving to later discover that Tom Hanks' Bailey had malicious motives behind his tech products.
Chris Evans in 'Knives Out'
Chris Evans has become the personification of humility and integrity after playing Captain America for about a decade. We might refuse to believe him even if he confesses any wrongdoing to our faces. After bidding farewell to the MCU in Avengers: Endgame', Evans broke away from his typecast heroic role and jumped into the shoes of a dishonest and astute man. 'Knives Out' was a critically-acclaimed murder mystery where Evans' character was orchestrating all the murders for his benefit.
Paul Rudd in 'Mute'
Paul Rudd's goofiness and smile have charmed the audience throughout the years. In 'Mute', he stepped out of his comfort zone and played a dishonest man who would go to any lengths for his daughter. But things get unsettling when we learn about his violent approach and dubious partner.
Elijah Wood in 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
After Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet's Joel and Clementine breakup, they use tech to erase their memories from the relationship. Fans are later happy to see Clementine ending up with Elijah Wood's Patrick who understands her. It wasn't so hard to sell considering the audience' perception of Elijah from "Lord of the Rings". The memory of his honest and kind-hearted hobbit was still fresh in our minds because the film had released a year after the LOTR series. But we were in for a shocker because Patrick worked at the same tech firm and used Clementine's memories to manipulate her.
Jason Sudeikis in 'Colossal'
Jason Sudeikis is introduced in 'Colossal' as the warm friend who helps Anne Hathaway rebuild her life after a breakup by offering her a job. There's no reason to doubt his intentions. After all, it is Sudeikis, the fun-loving actor from our favourite comedies. We are hit with a massive revelation when Anne's character finds out that she is somehow connected to a giant Kaiju in Seoul. Later, it turns out that Sudeikis wasn't the likeable man but an evil, who controlled a giant robot to wreak havoc on Seoul.
Dick Van Dyke in 'Night at the Museum'
The script left no room for doubt in the family friendly 'Night at the Museum'. And Dick Van Dyke's retiring security officer was the last one to raise any suspicion. He infused the same liveliness in his character from 'Marry Poppins' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'. Discovering his ulterior motives to steal from the museum and falsely accuse Ben Stiller's Daley threw us for a loop.
Jason Bateman in 'Juno'
We have always been smitten by Jason Bateman's charm and light-hearted demeanour. The same impression was given at the beginning of Juno, where he came across as warm and fun-loving while his wife Jennifer Garner seemed icy. As the story proceeds, Bateman turns out to be a manchild who plans to leave his wife right before the delivery of their adopted baby. He also hits on Elliot Page's Juno, who soon comes to like Garner more than Bateman.
Matt Damon in 'Interstellar'
Our minds wouldn't allow us to dislike or distrust Matt Damon even if we wanted to. He has always been the kid from 'Good Will Hunting' that we related to or the badass hero from 'The Bourne Identity' we rooted for. This worked as an advantage for 'Interstellar' where both the audience and Matthew McConaughey trusted him. He was one of the astronauts sent to outer space to find potentially inhabitable planets. Matt's Dr. Mann deceived everyone with positive feedback only to later reveal that he was lying to rescue himself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to go home. But charging straight at Matthew's Cooper in order to kill him boiled our blood.
Steve Carrell in 'The Way Way Back'
You know how a good first impression allows getting away with anything, right? Similarly, Steve Carrell's Michael Scott from the classic comedy 'The Office' is so strongly embedded in our minds that we can't see him in any other light. That's why he was perfectly suitable as the condescending boyfriend of Duncan's mother in 'The Way Way Back'. No one except Duncan, a teenage boy, saw his true nature.
Michael Cera in 'This Is The End'
We have mostly seen Cera as a sweet and funny guy on the screens. It's impossible to not be on his side after you've seen "Arrested Development" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". In the hilarious apocalyptic film "This Is The End", Michael Cera showed up as himself. However, the film projected him as a playboy who couldn't get enough of women and dope.

How to Channel Eco-Anxiety into Climate Action
It's not just you. Considering that one in three Americans experienced a natural disaster this summer, it's no wonder that a majority of us admit to being anxious about climate change. As Arctic permafrost thaws and the Amazon burns, stress about the future is intensifying worldwide. According to a newly published global study, 75% of young people are frightened by climate change and over half believe humanity is doomed.
In this episode, Caroline Hickman, a co-author of the study and a climate psychology researcher at the University of Bath, joins co-host Ray Suarez to discuss eco-anxiety—and how we can channel it into climate action.
Guests: Caroline Hickman, lecturer in climate psychology at the University of Bath

Why A Major Immigration Law Might Be Unconstitutional
Nearly 100 years ago, Congress passed a law making it a felony to reenter the US after being deported. Known as Section 1326, this obscure line of immigration code is the most prosecuted federal crime in America. Now, a federal judge has declared it unconstitutional and racist.
In this week's episode, we look at the far-reaching effects of a single deportation after the 2019 ICE raid of a chicken processing plant in Mississippi. Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Emily Green tells us the story of Edgar Lopez, a grandfather of four who was killed trying to make his way back home to the US. Then, we talk with historian Kelly Lytle-Hernandez and legal scholar Ahilan Arulanantham about the origins of this law and why it might be unconstitutional.
Guests: Emily Green, Pulitzer prize winning reporter for VICE News based in Mexico City; Kelly Lytle-Hernandez, UCLA professor and leading expert on race, immigration, and incarceration; Ahilan Arulanantham, Co-Director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law

Making Sense of A Disaster in Haiti
Just weeks after the assassination of Haiti's president, the island nation was rocked by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. More powerful than the deadly 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, the 2021 quake hit a remote part of Haiti, but it still killed more than 2,000 people and destroyed tens of thousands of homes.
We start with an audio diary from Jean Simon Féguens, an English teacher from Les Cayes, one of the cities hardest hit by the disaster. Next, former US Ambassador to Haiti Pamela White reflects on lessons learned about aid distribution after the 2010 earthquake.
Then, we turn to Haitian author Évelyne Trouillot and historian Leslie Alexander, for a conversation about Haiti's turbulent history since its revolution. In 1804, Haiti became the first nation to free itself from slavery. According to Trouillot and Alexander, it has been paying for its freedom ever since.
Guests: Leslie Alexander, Professor of History at Arizona State University, activist and author; Evelyne Trouillot, Author, Poet and Professor of French at Universite d'Etat d'Haiti; Pamela White, Former US Ambassador to Haiti, 2012-2015; Jean Simon Féguens, English Teacher in Les Cayes, Haiti

Where Will Afghanistan's Refugees Go?
The US led what the White House called one of the biggest airlifts in history as Afghans fled Taliban rule. That exodus has become part of a longstanding humanitarian crisis involving the U.S., Europe, parts of Asia and the Middle East.
On this week's episode, we hear from Nazanin Ash, Vice President of Global Policy and Advocacy at the International Rescue Committee and Kelsey P. Norman, Fellow and Director, Women's Rights, Human Rights, and Refugees Program, Baker Institute, about the evolving situation for Afghan refugees: where displaced people are going, how they're getting there, and what waits for them on the other side.
Then, journalist Hana Baba talks with former refugee Maryan Hassan and author Ty McCormick, whose book "Beyond the Sand and Sea" tells the story of Hassan and her family's heroic journey from Somalia, to the world's largest refugee camp in Kenya, and eventually, on to the United States.

I'm a big fan of pesto. Fragrant, flavourful, and so versatile, pesto is a culinary lifesaver. Years ago, I used to make my own pesto but nowadays I just don't have fresh basil lying around and truthfully, I'm the only one in the family that appreciates it. It's a great lunch saver especially if I have some leftover pasta lying around. Add a spoon of pesto, a bit of parmesan, throw in a few veggies, and I'm good to go. It's so much better than picking up takeout!
I've tried to find a store bought pesto sauce that works for me but it hasn't been easy. I'm not a big fan of the pre-made pesto sauces with almonds or pine nuts because I can't be sure it'll stay fresh long enough for me to use it all before it all goes funky in my fridge. After all, I'm the only one that'll use it and while I love pesto, I'm not eating every day.
It's taken me a while but I finally found this PC Pesto sauce made without pine nuts or almonds.
So, what ingredients are in this PC Pesto?
Here are the ingredients that went into the PC Pesto: extra virgin olive oil, basil, parmesan cheese (milk, modified milk ingredients, salt, lipase, calcium chloride, bacterial culture, microbial enzyme, cellulose, sorbic acid), garlic (garlic, canola oil, water, citric acid), lemon juice from concentrate (water, concentrated lemon juice, sulphites, lemon oil), salt.
All things considered, this ingredient isn't terrible. I mean, the first few ingredients are bang on: olive oil, basil, and parmesan cheese. I love that salt and sugar aren't the first two ingredients and while I'm not a big fan of cellulose, it's also not high on the ingredient list. In the ideal world, there would be even fewer simpler ingredients on this list but hey, I get it, it's a processed packaged item for my convenience and for me at least, this is tolerable.
Taste test: is this PC Pesto any good though?
Me? I like this PC Pesto sauce but I can see that it might not be for everyone. I like that it's basic and gives me the freedom to throw my own ground almonds into the mix if I wanted to. Others may detest it particularly because it doesn't have any nuts.
Is it as fresh as your own homemade pesto? Obviously not but it works as a pesto sauce with all the same flavours that I'd expect from a pesto sauce. The only thing I did to give it more oomph is add more lemon juice and an extra splash of parmesan. It worked well on my leftover pasta and I was quite happy with my lunch.
Verdict: would I buy the PC Pesto again?
Actually, yes I would but it won't be for a while. Given that I'm the only one in the family that likes pesto, I'm currently pesto'd out so I won't be craving it any time soon. However, given that this is pesto sauce has the base I like for my pesto, I would pick it up again as a backup lunch saver. You see, I would have included a photo of the lunch I made but well, um, I forgot. Sorry!
The PC Pesto is simple enough in flavour that I could embellish it with some sautéed mushrooms and onions (yum) or just a splash of parmesan. It also tastes great with some fresh tomatoes. Yep, that's what I would do. For me, I appreciate that the PC Pesto doesn't have the added almonds or pine nuts but it might not be for everyone.

The Royals were overcome at Hogwood Park by an impressive Spurs side, who took all three points in a high tempo U23 Premier League 2 clash.
Reading made a number of changes from their opening outing of the League campaign, with the likes of Aaron Kuhl and Craig Tanner having both gone out on loan to Boreham Wood and Plymouth Argyle respectively.
Despite being in the game and looking threatening in the first half, Martin Kuhl's side conceded three goals early in the second period, making it difficult to salvage a result from the 51st minute onward.
In the opening stages of the encounter both sides looked dangerous when going forward, with Jonathan Bond forced into a sharp save early-on after good work from Tottenham on the edge of the Reading box.
The Royals responded quickly, with Dominic Samuel seeing his fizzing effort fly just wide of the visitors' left-hand post after a bold run from midfield.
Reading were beginning to build up some momentum when Jack Stacey won the home side a corner after 25 minutes. A floated delivery from midfielder Josh Barrett caused chaos inside the Spurs box, with the ball falling for Zak Jules.
The defenders' fierce strike from close range was well blocked on the line by Tottenham Captain Luke Amos; the rebound bouncing inches wide of the post.
Just as it seemed Reading were grasping the initiative, Spurs' midfielder Marcus Edwards scored against the run of play with a fine individual effort. On the 32nd minute, a sharp turn on the edge of Reading's box evaded the defence, before the Tottenham youngster thumped his shot into the top corner, leaving Bond with no chance.
The Royals looked to start the second half with a higher tempo, and as Kuhl's side pushed forward searching for an equaliser, Tottenham struck with devastating effect.
The first of three early second-half goals was netted by Edwards on the 47th minute, who cut elegantly onto his left foot before burying his finish in the bottom corner.
A minute later it was three, when Will Miller provided a sliding finish as the ball sailed into the top corner. The fourth came soon after when Shayon Harrison forced a mistake from Bond in the Reading goal, before slotting home his finish from close range.
Reading did well to rally following the Tottenham attacking onslaught, and managed to wrestle the initiative back from the visitors, as the Royals enjoyed more possession in midfield.
Jack Stacey had his effort roll just past the Spurs goal after a clever run in behind the defence, but the winger could only prod his finish a yard or so wide of Tom Glover's net.
Jules was the next to threaten the target when his shot from range sent the Spurs keeper scrambling to try and cover his right-hand-post.
On the 73rd minute Reading got the goal that their efforts deserved when Andy Rinomhota rose impressively and bulleted a header into the top corner, with Glover only able to watch as the ball flew past.
Despite continued pressure, Spurs saw out the 4-1 win, with the Royals now turning their attention to Friday's league fixture with Manchester City at Madejski Stadium.

Small group personal tour – Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath
Product code: SG2
Home Stonehenge Tours Small group personal tour – Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath
900 years of royal history are waiting for you in Windsor Castle, which is perched high above the River Thames just outside of London. From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current Queen, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. We shall be amongst the first people to enter Windsor Castle, so you can see for yourself the splendour of St. George's chapel and the sumptuous state apartments. Windsor itself is a pretty town full of traditional shops and historic pubs. Shakespeare is said to have written his play The Merry Wives of Windsor in one of them!
Our next stop is Bath, another world heritage site. Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. Following our panoramic tour of the city, there will be time to visit Bath Abbey and Poultney Bridge overlooking the river Avon cascading over the weir. And you can shop, explore or take afternoon tea in the Pump Rooms while listening to the string quartet.
Why not visit the Roman Baths that were built nearly 2,000 years ago. Built on Britain's only natural hot water spring lies the magnificent Roman public bath complex and Roman temple. At the heart of the World Heritage Site you can walk around the steaming pool on the Roman stone paving and admire the ancient Roman statues and architecture.
The most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to be mention public debate ever since. What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design.
*Please note: On occasion the State Apartments are closed and as an alternative we shall visit Queens Mary's Doll's House and St Georges Chapel. On Sunday St Georges Chapel is closed, there will be extra time to explore castle precincts.
Returns to London at approximately 8:30pm


MeisterSinger is best known for producing watches that utilize a single hand to tell time. This, of course, lends itself to a more relaxing interpretation of the traditional way we read our watches. Rather than following a to the second — or minute, even — display, most MeisterSinger timepieces are read in five-minute increments. This year at Baselworld, the German brand has introduced its first astronomical watch in the Lunascope.
Borrowing the 40 mm stainless steel case design from the brand's Pangaea line, the new Lunascope's main attraction is an incredibly large moon phase display. Encompassing what amounts to the entirety of the upper half of the watch's dial, the extra-wide aperture shows off the moon as it moves across a dark blue, starry background.
The big technical news with this release is the astronomical precision found within the timepiece. Your average moon cycle takes 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.9 seconds to completely circle the Earth. Your average watch with a moon phase complication rounds this figure down to 29.5 days via the movement, which means it deviates by eight hours per year and, thus, needs to be corrected by one complete day every three years. What's different about the movement inside the MeisterSinger Lunascope (an ETA 2836-2), however, is that it has been modified so it only requires a slight adjustment after 128 years.
The Lunascope is available in two different dial colors: opaline silver and a sunburst dark blue that is identical to the blue of the night sky in the moon phase aperture. Both models feature a blue date window at 6 o'clock. The blue model comes with a calfskin strap; the silver-opaline version with a dark brown leather strap.
The Lunascope will be available from the beginning of April and is currently priced at €2,990 euros.


Shifting (also called changing gears) is the secret to riding comfortably and efficiently whether you're climbing and descending, sailing along flat stretches with glorious tailwinds, pedaling purely for pleasure or going for gold. And today bicycles are easier, more efficient and more fun to shift than ever thanks to easy-to-operate and convenient shift levers integrated into the brake levers (or right next to them), and improved shifting components, too. These amazing shifting systems let you change gears almost as fast as the thought crosses your mind. And you never even need to remove your hands from the handlebars!
We get lots of questions on how to shift so we've put together this illustrated guide that demonstrates how to shift Campagnolo Ergopower shifting systems, which are found on many road bicycles. We're always happy to demonstrate in person, too, whenever you'd like to swing by.
When you're just riding along, your hand can rest on the top of the lever (called the "brake hood") or on the lower part of the handlebars. In both positions it's easy to reach and operate the 2 shift levers, the main lever just behind the brake lever and the button-like top lever near your thumb.
When you feel like it's too easy to pedal and you'd like a harder gear, you push the button-like lever on the inside top of the lever down with your thumb. It clicks with each push and this moves the rear derailleur, which in turn shifts the chain onto the next smaller rear cog making it harder to pedal. You can repeat as needed or you can push the lever further to shift down several cogs at once.
The left lever operates like the right lever, with 2 levers, a main one pushed with your fingers and a secondary button-like lever located on the inside of the lever near the top and pushed with your thumb. Because there are only 2 or 3 chainrings, and they vary in size so much, the levers must be pushed a little further than the right lever to complete a shift. Like the right lever, you can shift with your hand resting on the top of the lever and when you're on the lower part of the bars, too.
When you need to make it a lot harder to pedal (as you will when you crest a hill and start going a lot faster down the other side), you push inward on the large lever to shift the chain onto a larger chainring making it a good bit harder to pedal. You can do this in a single long sweep of the lever, or two or more shorter motions.
When you need to make it a lot easier to pedal (as you will when you come to uphills), pushing the button-like lever down with your thumb shifts the front derailleur in the opposite direction and moves the chain onto a smaller chainring, which makes it a lot easier to pedal the bike.

Don't pass the buck on Ganga cleaning, will fine Rs 50K, NGT tells babus | The Economics Times
The tribunal asked how was the ministry planning to control pollution in Ganga if it did not know the basics.
NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal today slapped a Rs 50,000 fine on a scientist from the Environment Ministry but withdrew it later, warning officials against passing the buck on matters relating to the cleaning of Ganga.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said in future any such act will follow a penalty of Rs 50,000, adding it felt "very sad" on the way this important issue was being treated by the bureaucrats.
The bench's reaction came after a scientist appearing for the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) failed to answer its query on what would be the minimum flow required for the river.
"He refuses to answer the same which we find totally undesirable. A scientist working with MoEF is expected to know basics of environment… Why did you come here if you know nothing? Don't waste the time of five judges," the bench said.
The bench imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on the official but later withdrew its oral order, saying "we are leaving you today."
When the same question regarding the minimum flow of the river was posed to the counsel appearing for the Ministry of Water and Resources, he also failed to answer.
The tribunal asked how was the ministry planning to control pollution in Ganga if it did not know the basics. "The tribunal is feeling very sad that you all (officials) are treating it in such manner," the bench said.
It said that "everyone comes here from every department and says that he knows nothing. If any officer says in this court that he is not supposed to know and it is someone else's responsibility, this will be the order (Rs 50,000 penalty)."
The green court also cancelled a bailable warrant issued against Kanpur municipal commissioner after his deputy appeared before the court.
The bench, however, directed the official to make sure that counsel and concerned official remained present before it during the hearing of the matter.

Ring-tailed lemur
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Lemuridae
Genus and Species: Lemur catta
Ring-tailed-lemur-007
Ring-tailed-lemurs-004
Ring-tailed lemurs are named for the 13 alternating black and white bands that adorn their tails. Unlike most other lemurs, ringtails spend 40 percent of their time on the ground, moving quadrupedally along the forest floor.
A ring-tailed lemur mob will gather in open areas of the forest to sunbathe. They sit in what some call a "yoga position" with their bellies toward the sun and their arms and legs stretched out to the sides. This position maximizes the exposure of the less densely covered underside of the lemurs to the sun, warming them up before they forage.
Each ring-tailed lemur has exactly 13 alternating black and white bands on its tail.
When ring-tailed troops travel throughout their home range, they keep their tails raised in the air, like flags, to keep group members together.

All news about this animal
Ring-tailed lemur backs are gray to rosy brown with gray limbs and dark gray heads and necks. They have white bellies. Their faces are white with dark triangular eye patches and a black nose. True to their name, ring-tailed lemurs' tails are ringed with 13 alternating black and white bands.
Unlike most other lemurs, ringtails spend 40 percent of their time on the ground. They move quadrupedally along the forest floor.
The average body mass for adult males is 6 pounds (3 kilograms). Females are usually smaller. Their tails can be up to 2 feet long (61 centimeters).
Native Habitat
Ring-tailed lemurs live in southwestern Madagascar, in arid, open areas and forests in territories that range from 15 to 57 acres (0.06 to 0.2 square kilometers) in size.
As with all lemurs, olfactory communication is important for ringtails. Ring-tailed lemurs have scent glands on their wrists and chests that they use to mark their foraging routes. Males even have a horny spur on each wrist gland that they use to pierce tree branches before scent marking them. Secretions from the wrist glands can also be rubbed on the tail and flicked at an opponent.
Ring-tailed lemurs communicate visually in a number of ways as well. When ring-tailed troops travel throughout their home range, they keep their tails raised in the air, like flags, to keep group members together. They also communicate using facial expressions:
Staring, open-mouth face: The eyes are opened wide, and the mouth is open with the teeth covered by the lips. This occurs when mobbing a predator, or serves to communicate a threat.
Staring, bared-teeth scream face: The eyes are opened wide, and the mouth is open with the corners drawn back so that the teeth and gums are revealed. This display occurs with terror flight.
Silent, bared-teeth face: The eyes are staring at the stimulus, the eye brows are either relaxed or up, and the corners of the mouth are drawn back, allowing the teeth to show. This is used to communicate submission or a friendly approach.
Bared-teeth gecker face: Similar to "silent bared-teeth face" only with a rapid noise attached to it. This display occurs during subordinate flee-approach conflicts and when an infant is bothered. The term "gecker" refers to the distinct noise made.
Pout face: The eyes are opened wide, and the lips are pushed forward such that the mouth resembles an "O" shape. This occurs with contact calls and begging.
Hoot face: The lips are pushed forward to resemble something called a "trumpet mouth." This display occurs with long-distance calls (e.g. territorial calls).
Ring-tailed lemurs are one of the most vocal primates. They have several different alarm calls to alert members of their group to potential danger:
Infant contact call: soft purr
Cohesion call: cat's meow; used when the group is widely dispersed
Territorial call: howl; can be heard for over a half a mile (1 kilometer).
Alarm call: starts as a grunt then becomes a bark.
Repulsion call: series of staccato grunt sounds that occurs between two individuals.
Food/Eating Habits
Ringtails eat leaves, flowers and insects. They can also eat fruit, herbs and small vertebrates.
At the Smithsonian's National Zoo, they are fed a mixture of fruits, vegetables and leaf-eater biscuits multiple times a day.
Social Structure
Ring-tailed lemurs live found in social groups ranging in size from three to 25 individuals. The groups include multiple males and females. Females spend their whole lives in their birth group. Generally males change groups when they reach sexual maturity at age three.
Ring-tailed groups range over a considerable area each day in search of food, up to 3.5 miles (6 kilometers). All group members use this common home range, and groups are often aggressive towards other groups at the borders of these areas.
Females are dominant within groups, meaning females have preferential access to food and choice of whom to mate with. This is unusual in the primate world. Males do have a dominance hierarchy, though even low-ranking males are able to mate. The hierarchy among ring-tailed lemur females is not linear, and daughters do not always assume the rank of their mothers. One explanation for this pattern is that ring-tailed lemur mothers do not support their daughters in social interactions, so the daughters do not inherit rank but fight to achieve their own rank.
Females have been seen to have closer social bonds with other female relatives in a group than they do with unrelated females. These social bonds are established and reinforced by grooming. Prosimians groom in a rather unique way. All prosimians have six lower teeth, incisors and canines that stick straight out from their jaw, forming a comb. This comb is used to groom their fur and the fur of the other members of their social group.
Reproduction and Development
Females usually give birth to their first baby when they are three years old, and usually once a year every year after that. But, in human care, females can have their first offspring as early as 18 months old. Females are sexually receptive for one to two days each year, and estrus may be as short as 6 to 24 hours. In the wild, mating is seasonal beginning in mid-April, with infants being born in August and September. Gestation lasts 4.5 months. Generally, ring-tailed lemurs give birth to one offspring, but twins can be frequent if food is plentiful.
Initially, infants cling to their mothers' bellies, but, after approximately two weeks, they can be seen riding jockey-style on their mother's backs. Infants begin sampling solid food after about a week and will become increasingly independent after about a month. They return to mom to nurse or sleep until they are weaned at about five or six months of age. All adult females participate in raising the offspring of the group.
The median life expectancy for a ring-tailed lemur is about 16 years.
Lemurs are the most endangered mammal group in the world.
Ring-tailed lemurs are an endangered species. Population fragmentation is a major threat to these lemurs, mostly due to human-induced habitat loss and degradation. In some regions, ring-tailed lemurs are hunted with dogs for food. They are also found in the pet trade.
Habitat destruction is the primary threat to lemurs. Since humans arrived on Madagascar about 2,000 years ago, roughly eighty percent of the total forest cover has been lost due to extraction of precious hardwoods, fuel wood, and other products, as well as to clear land for agricultural and grazing lands. On the western side of the island forests are being cleared for pasture, while in the east, the forests are burned for slash-and-burn agriculture and cut for charcoal production.
Malagasy people rely heavily on the land for their survival, which has led to the over-exploitation of natural resources throughout the island as impoverished people do whatever they can to feed their families. Illegal logging and agricultural fires are additional threats to lemur habitat, which result in both habitat loss and fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation can lead to population isolation for lemurs, resulting in an unsustainable genetic pool. Lemurs are also hunted as food items, and have an increasing presence in the illegal pet trade.
In July 2013, IUCN's Species Survival Commission (SSC) released a 185-page strategy to conserve Madagascar's lemurs. This report outlined a series of actions that needed to be taken in order to conserve lemurs and their habitat, which includes working with and training local communities, growing primate-centric ecotourism, maintaining and creating long-term research projects, and establishing and preserving a captive population of endangered lemurs.
Help this Species
Reduce, reuse and recycle — in that order! Cut back on single-use goods, and find creative ways to reuse products at the end of their life cycle. Choose recycling over trash when possible.
Be a smart consumer. Choose products made with sustainable ingredients, such as Smithsonian certified Bird Friendly coffees, which support farmers striving to limit their impact on wildlife and habitat.
Practice ecotourism by being an advocate for the environment when you're on vacation. During your travels, support, visit or volunteer with organizations that protect wildlife. Shop smart too! Avoid buying products made from animals, which could support poaching and the illegal wildlife trade.
Share the story of this animal with others. Simply raising awareness about this species can contribute to its overall protection.

Q: Simple Java- The sentinal value keeps being calculated in my count and average? For a homework assignment i need to take an unspecified number of grades( no more than 100), get the average, and display how many are above and below average. I'm trying to use a Sentinal value to exit the loop when putting in grades. And while it does exit the loop, it also takes the Sentinal value as a grade input and calculates that into the average. For example if I enter scores "50 75 100" then exit with -1. the results will display something like 74.66666666667. I can sort of see why it is doing this looking at my for loop but I'm struggling to find a way to fix it.

public class AnalyzeScores {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
     double scores, average;
     int aboveAvg, belowAvg;
     double sum = 0;
     int count = 0;

     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     double[] scoresList = new double[100];

     for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
         System.out.print("Enter Score " + (i + 1)  + "(negative score exits): ");
         scoresList[i] = input.nextDouble();
         sum = sum + scoresList[i];
         count++;

         if (scoresList[i] < 0) {
            average = (sum / i);
            System.out.println("average is " + average);
            return;
         }
     }

 }

}

A: That's because you put -1 to your list while calculating the average. You need to check if the input value is below zero before adding it to scoresList.
Here is the code where this problem is fixed (but it still requires some improvements):
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double scores, average;
        int aboveAvg, belowAvg;
        double sum = 0;
        int count = 0;

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        double[] scoresList = new double[100];

        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            System.out.print("Enter Score " + (i + 1)  + "(negative score exits): ");
            double score = input.nextDouble();
            if (score >= 0) {
                scoresList[i] = score;
                sum = sum + scoresList[i];
                count++;
            }
            else break;
        }
        average = (sum / count);
        System.out.println("average is " + average);
    }
}

A: you should move this piece of code:
         sum = sum + scoresList[i];
         count++;

from before the if condition to after the if condition.

Bukowskis earliest home recordings? dating?
Thread starter roni
do we know the date of his very first home recording and what was on it? It definitely was before Carl Weissner or John Thomas started recording him.
Was the 1962 KPFK broadcast recorded at his home by himself or in the studio? ( I'd bet he didn't record that in public/studio then.)
In a letter to Doug Blazek (Apr 12, 1065) he "turned on a tape I made while drunk and I layed on the floor listening to my quips and madness and singing", which in all its easiness doesn't quite sound like the reading for the radio. (I also am pretty sure, I've read even earlier letters, where he mentions taping.)
The first mentioning I remember now is in the poem 'remains':
but I even have her voice on tape
and she speaks some evenings,
her again,
so real she laughs,
says the thousand things, [....]
which (if it's true) had been recorded before Jan 1962.
(The poem itself dates not later than June 1962, since it had been sent toghether with a letter of that date to Sheri Martinelli.)
Was it so common to use (and maybe even own!) a recording-machine for private purposes back in 1962? (and was it even affordable?)
Rekrab
Usually wrong.
roni said:
[...] Was it so common to use (and maybe even own!) a recording-machine for private purposes back in 1962? (and was it even affordable?)
Yes, very common in the 1960s and even in the 50s. People made tapes of their favorite records, conversations, non-professional playing of musical instruments, singing, etc. Many people owned reel to reel and later cassette tape recorders. They were almost as common as TV sets and radios. Not expensive for a consumer quality machine. As a kid in those days, my family had both reel to reel and cassette machines, as did many of my friend's families.
thanks rekrab,
that answers the biggest part of my question.
For some reason I had the idea, this was a technique too elaborated to be that common (or at least affordable).
That being said, I know Bukowski borrowed recorders for his first tapes. He may have bought a machine at some point, but I don't recall ever reading anything about that.
I also assumed that the KPFK tape was done in their studios. But I haven't listened to it in a while.
I think a home tape recorder cost about the same as a radio and less than a tv set in those days. I have an early 1960s electronics catalog -- I'll look for an ad with prices.
According to Johannes in this early thread, Bukowski also read at KPFK in 1968. So he went into their studio at least once.
Rekrab said:
I think a home tape recorder cost about the same as a radio and less than a tv set in those days.
Well, there was a wide range of recorders. I can see a cheap recorder being the same cost as a radio:
But not a reel to reel intended for use with a stereo:
Those were very expensive. We had a big Magnavox reel to reel (it sat inside a big Magnavox console), and I'd hazard a guess that it may have cost more than our TV set.
It was definitely a big purchase. I had to wait until my parents left the house to play cards or go to a dinner party to fuck around with it, because they wouldn't let me touch it when they were around. But I was only eight or ten years old at the time, so maybe their reluctance to let me loose on it was justified.
Joseph K
Well, all this assumes he bought a machine to record on. It makes more sense for him to borrow a machine for a few days to record and just pay for the tapes. It seems much more likely that in the 1960s he borrowed machines for home recordings or went to other people's homes to record. This is more realistic than him owning a machine. Think about it: if Buk owned a tape recorder he would probably have recorded quite a lot and quite frequently and we would have more of those recordings today, in original or commercially released. The fact that there are relatively few recordings suggests he didn't have a recorder in his home for lengthy periods. Also he would likely have mentioned in his letters being at home and recording poems. There are plenty of poems/letters about his typewriter being broken or in hock but no mentions (that I recall) of a tape recorder being used, damaged or repaired. Suggests he didn't own a tape recorder.

bogdan said:
I guess that answers that.
I can't shake the feeling that I've seen a Mariposa-era (early 60s) picture of Bukowski with a reel to reel recorder. But I haven't been able to find it, so maybe I imagined it.
thanks bogdan.
" I made on my machine"
clarifies not only, where he'd recorded that, but also that he owned the machine
(which makes one think: how many tapes may he have made and how many of them may still exist somewhere? He sure wouldn't buy a recorder for only 2 or 3 times of use.)
Right, mjp. High end reel to reel machines were expensive, probably more than the average tv.
And as you say, Joseph K., Bukowski probably borrowed one.
Skygazer
And in the end...
Don't know which type of recorder it was, but in Post Office he describes buying a tape recorder to learn his route; whether he recorded any of his poems on it is another question:
True or not, I decided to try the tape recorder. My worries were over. I could leave it on while I was sleeping. I had read somewhere that you could learn with your subconscious while sleeping. That seemed the easiest way out. I bought a machine and some tape. I read the scheme sheet onto the tape, got into bed with my beer and listened:

We're all thinking open reel (which he did use early on), but there is also the possibility that he had an inexpensive cassette recorder at some point. By 1966-67 they were becoming pretty common in the U.S. I had one when I was a kid in the 60s.
Reactions: Purple Stickpin
just a short one, and you needn't respond ... right off, only to say, no, don't want tape back, I have a machine, a bad one, true, but if I feel like making more sounds, it's there. I got it orig. to record some classical music, build a collection of sounds and what not, but since getting it, have done little. Your tape bad tape, tech. that is; Sears-Roebuck or what, and they have tendency to dry and split. Now have a couple of rolls of "mylar" which is tougher, like me.

Sheer happenstance Rekrab:) although I'm tempted to claim clarity of vision and intellect.
Was digging about on account of that other thread; Was Bukowski a total skivver?? ( Buk and Work ).
Johannes said:
That kind of fits Johannes, given him passing the route exam ( for which he bought the recorder) and becoming a regular postie, and the radio readings. he must have practised on it, don't you think, looking at the timeline? which would make it early sixties possibly.

Yes man, Panasonic! I probably had half a dozen of those too. I think my Panasonic brand loyalty has its roots in cassette recorders like that one.
I recently dubbed a cassette to CD that I made on a Marantz Superscope (mono) "boombox" - or more accurately the precursor to boom boxes - and even though it was a shitty Realistic cassette, it still sounded surprisingly good.
They don't make nothin' like they used to.
Lest we diverge too far from the thread topic...ah, screw it. Those condenser mics were just fantastic, right? Like recording something broadcast from a dumpster on Pluto.
Little-known info on these things: Keith Richards recorded the distorted opening chords of Street Fighting Man on an acoustic guitar held close to the condenser mic of a cheap cassette player; probably much like the one you posted, mjp. Talk about using everything at your disposal. Those chords are great; a totally fresh sound.
Source: Richards, K. 2010. Life. Back Bay Books; Little, Brown and Company, New York, Boston, London.
I don't know, I recorded my bands - such as they were - for a few years on that Superscope and while those tapes certainly aren't high fidelity, they're as good as (or better than) later tapes made on a "better" stereo portable.
Though yes, of course the microphone makes all the difference. If you plug a $2 microphone into a five thousand dollar Nagra you're going to get a $2 sound. Maybe $2.50.
One would think that a Panasonic mic would be at least as good as one on a Superscope (what a great name; very 1968), but I always found that the condenser mic on mine was fairly lame. But who complains when you're 10 years old and you're holding space-age technology in your hands? :eek:

You see? Never underestimate the outstanding importance of John what's his name!
I really enjoy reading these letters.
It looked like the Webbs went as far as advertising it in the press or something, a shame it all fell through for them
"...record Bukowski TALKING won't be out in April. Chi. Lit Times ad only pulled in about 20 sales so far, they just don't have the kind of $$$ to put it out now. October better, would take $600 at least to press the record, broke, might do the Henry Miller book submission first, that would give them enough money to get into #5, the Patchen issue, and then, in October, the record. I busted my ass, shooting mouth into a borrowed tape recorder, laying on the floor first on one side then the other because my ass was too sore to sit on, I got them fresh mad tapes for their April deadline, and now I find I had until October, maybe forever..."

ETI says Creagh has a strong understanding of UK, EU and international climate change, sustainable development policy and reporting frameworks. Creagh has 22 years of experience as an elected politician at local, national and international levels, serving as a Government Minister, Shadow Secretary of State at three departments and Select Committee Chair and now combines roles in business consultancy, charitable work and teaching at Cranfield University.
In 2019 she played an instrumental role in the Fast Fashion Inquiry, which urged the government to introduce legislation that requires fashion brands and retailers to perform due diligence checks across their supply chains and take more responsibility for the environmental impact of their businesses.
The inquiry came following a probe into the state of the British fashion industry at the end of 2018.
16 fashion retailers – including M&S, Next, Primark, Debenhams and online apparel retailers including Missguided, Asos and Boohoo – were quizzed by MPs on what they were doing to reduce the environmental and social impacts of the apparel they sell, amid concerns the so-called 'fast-fashion' business model encourages over-consumption and generates excessive waste.
ETI says Creagh was selected to take the organisation forward "at a time when vulnerable workers in global supply chains need more support than ever to ensure that their rights are respected."
Peter McAllister, ETI's executive director says, "We are delighted to welcome Mary as our new Chair at ETI. Mary's wide experience in both the policy environment, creating and supporting inclusive initiatives, as well as wider sustainable development, will be a great asset in supporting ETI to tackle the prevailing challenges and in collaboration with our members, increasing our impact for workers."
Creagh adds: "I am delighted to be appointed as ETI's Chair and am looking forward to working with the team, Board, members and wider stakeholders to improve the lives of workers around the world. With supply chains and working conditions under pressure, I'm looking forward to shaping national and international policies to ensure dignity at work for all."

Residents Pickup Hundreds of Pounds of Litter at Soundview Park on International Coastal Cleanup Day
Posted on 19 September 2022. Tags: Bronx, Bronx river, Bronx River Alliance, International Coastal Cleanup Day, Soundview, The Bronx
Around 75 residents of Soundview and neighboring areas volunteered on International Coastal Cleanup Day to help preserve the Bronx River. Mansi Vithlani for The Bronx Ink.
Volunteers removed 47 bags of trash from the Bronx River on Saturday during International Coastal Cleanup Day. The event, which is held yearly on the third weekend of September, was hosted by The Bronx River Alliance.
This is the first time since the pandemic that the coastal cleanup returns to Soundview Park at such a large scale, according to Victoria Toro, a Bronxite and the Community Outreach Coordinator of The Bronx River Alliance.
"People are giving up their Saturday to clean up garbage, that's pretty damn cool," said Christian Murphy, Ecology Coordinator at the Bronx River Alliance.
There are three main pollutants to the river of which floatable trash is one of them, according to the Bronx River Alliance's research.
The Bronx Community Board 9 district's 2023 budget request, of which Soundview is part of, states there is a greater urgency to "maintain and supervise" the local parks and playgrounds.

"There's not a lot of green spaces in the Bronx, and they don't have as many trees compared to other boroughs in New York City, so whatever we can do to keep these parks healthy and happy is really important to the community," said Murphy.
Groups of volunteers each concentrated on a specific section of the Bronx River, collecting trash while recording their findings via a tracking sheet, highlighting the type and amount of trash they had collected.
Ocean Conservancy will use the information gathered from the Soundview event and other worldwide locations to learn more about the types of trash that are entering the environment, developing policies that could have an impact in both the United States and other countries.
Volunteers tracked the amount of items they had collected along the shoreline, with their findings later added to the Ocean Conservancy's "Clean Swell App". Mansi Vithlani for the Bronx Ink.
"Volunteers are helping collect important data that is going to inform advocacy, policy and action, not only for non-profit organizations, but also political agencies and governments," said Toro
The 23-mile Bronx River serves as a gateway to the Atlantic Ocean, where litter that passes through New York Harbor and Long Island Sound could eventually end up.
"There are so many people in the city, this [event] should be as crowded as a marathon," said Yonkers resident Cadecia Forgnie.

Volunteers most often found wrappers, bottle caps, and plastic bottles along the shoreline. A car engine, half of a dishwasher unit, pacifiers, a fire extinguisher, a kids' play mat, and a large pillow were among some of the more unusual objects.
The Bronx River Alliance started the process of cleaning up and rehabilitating the river in 1974, advocating for the equitable restoration of the Bronx River.
According to their annual report, in 2020 a total of 2500 bags of trash were removed from the river, 1000 native species were planted, and 335K square feet of invasive growth were eliminated.

Volunteer, Oscar Asencio-Ramos, and his wife have been living in Soundview for 38 years and regularly attend events held by The Bronx River Alliance.
"We live in the neighborhood, we use the park and we want to walk through and see a clean park with no garbage all over the place and the waterfront clean."

Activists raise concerns over the future of the Bronx River
Posted on 14 October 2014. Tags: Bioswales, Bronx river, Bronx River Alliance, Combined Sewer Overflow, Green Infrastructure, Nonprofit, SWIM
Bronx environmental activists will meet this month to generate community interest in preventing the Bronx River from lapsing into its former life as a massive sewer.
Although the city's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) spent the last couple years constructing structures to help keep the river clean, local activists charge the agency is neglecting crucial maintenance. They claim the city's narrow approach to keeping pollution at bay and its limited attempt to engage local residents handicaps its long-term goal.
Robin Kriesberg, the Ecology Director at the Bronx River Alliance, said via email that although DEP supports a maintenance crew, "that will not be enough" to support the immense number of implemented and planned structures.
Jaime Stein, a visiting assistant professor at the Graduate Center for Planning at Pratt Institute said the city's outreach to the public is "too little and too late."
It took activists more than a decade to pressure the city to install a system that would keep storm water from overwhelming local sewers and sending waste into the river. In 2012, the DEP installed the first of a dozen bioswales – highly absorbent patches of green space on sidewalks that soak up heavy rainfall. Typically about ten feet by four feet in size, they feature thirsty plants like summersweet clethra and swamp milkweed. They look more like mini-parks than like sewage devices and thus double the advantage they bring to urban areas.

Bioswales extend five feet beneath their surface. Layers of absorbent soils and stones underneath the bioswale store around 2,244 gallons of water during a storm, which is equivalent to about 45 bathtubs of water.

Although effective if properly maintained, bioswales quickly become useless when neglected, which is precisely what worries Bronx activists. As global climate change increases the likelihood of storms, controlling flooding, they say, is more urgent than ever in a city that has yet to comply with the Clean Water Act of 1972.
Storms often wash away a bioswale's soil; left unattended, it will not be able to retain as much water. If its plants are not watered during dry spells, they will vanish and leave the bioswale feeble. Weeds and offending plants like mugworts, dandelions, and ground ivy can also decrease efficiency. If excess leaves and trash collect in a bioswale, they clog up it, rendering it useless.

Caretakers must be able to identify plant species, remove weeds, clear out trash, ensure soil has not been washed away, check vegetative health, and add water during dry spells.

The DEP claims it funds gardeners from the Department of Parks specifically to take care of the bioswales. But activists and academics working with nonprofit organizations like Stormwater Infrastructure Matters Coalition (SWIM) doubt that the city can meet needs in light of its aggressive construction schedule. Though the city does not provide a precise account of how many bioswales it has installed, the 2013 DEP NYC Green Infrastructure Annual Report states that in the Bronx River Watershed between 2010 and 2013, it built 18 green infrastructures (which includes bioswales as well as raingardens, permeable pavements, stormwater harvesting and reuse systems, among other devices.) DEP is planning to build 57 more in 2014.
The Bronx River Alliance's Kriesberg said she is unsure how the city will handle maintenance at this rapid rate of installation – a 217 percent increase over the last three years.
SWIM member Stein said the lack of community involvement in the city's initial discussions on stormwater management, which would have boosted bioswale upkeep, will hinder future maintenance.
One longtime resident of Soundview in the Bronx, Nancy Reyes, 50, said she thinks the city is "trying to do a good thing" with the three bioswales she passes on the corner of Morrison and Lafayette as she makes her way into Soundview Park. But, the former customer service representative said, she "got no information" during their construction.
Her neighbor, Raquelle James, 51, a former employee of the Board of Education, said that the city needs news coverage from local stations to promote green infrastructure. Reyes and James want to know more but Reyes bemoaned they "don't know where to begin."
Peter Antonio, 44, a retired Soundview resident, said he "doesn't know what's going on," with the bioswales next to Soundview Park, even though he often walks by them.
The Bronx River Alliance's Kriesberg said that she is "hoping that DEP will install signs to let people know what is going on" wherever bioswales are placed.
Antonio expressed a desire to attend bioswale information workshops and would be interested in helping to maintain them – if he finds out about them.
The DEP began its "BioswaleCare Program" along with "Million Trees New York City" in the spring of 2013, after many bioswales had already been built. Only 77 community members participated in BioswaleCare workshops in 2013. Announcements of workshops are posted on the DEP's website, which draws an audience of people already aware of the program.
Kriesberg said that attendance at past public meetings was low. She expects DEP will do more to attract the public – it is now offering free water bottles at meetings in Flushing Bay.
Even with a reliable and sufficient maintenance crew, the bioswales alone might not be enough to stave off river contamination in a storm, however. Kriesberg said, "The models and results so far indicate that the approach will have to be expanded beyond bioswales."
Stein, an environmental activist with SWIM, said that implementing multiple bioswales within a short period of time is too narrow an approach. The bioswales are limited by available public sidewalk space. Once the sidewalks are filled, Stein asks, what will the city do?
Stein compared the bioswale plan to the city's Million Trees initiative, which intended to plant oxygen-producing trees throughout the South Bronx to improve air quality. Good in theory, Stein said, but "there was not enough space for a million trees." In addition, many of the planted trees were neglected and are now dead.
"The city won't pay for maintenance," said Soundview resident Patrick Holms, a 43-year-old accountant who lives near two bioswales on Morrison Avenue. Without information, "the community won't get involved" to maintain the bioswales, he warned. Holms recommended that Bronx Borough President Rubin Diaz, Jr. speak out on bioswale maintenance. "If he made appearances, more people would care," Holms said
DEP representatives did not respond by press time to repeated requests for comments.
Stein and members of SWIM are looking forward to the public meeting on October 27 to engage public officials, scientists, attorneys, representatives of nonprofits, and city agencies in the discussion on stormwater management in the face of rising temperatures and precipitation. They are hoping, too, that the meeting will be an occasion for involving the community in protecting its river.
Phil Pena, a letter carrier who has "been around a few years," passes two bioswales on Gleason Avenue on his delivery route in Soundview. He said, "The city is trying to make the sidewalk look good."
After finding out that they capture stormwater, he said that the city should have installed one on Metcalf Avenue, between Gleason and Watson Avenues. "The sidewalk gets flooded every time it rains," he said. "Nobody talks about it," and "I've got to walk in the street."

Parks department officials announce water safety measures following drownings in the Bronx
Posted on 24 August 2014. Tags: Bronx, Bronx river, safety measures
New York Parks Department officials unveiled new safety measures on Friday for more than 50 city-wide boat launches in the wake of the tragic deaths of two boys who drowned in the Bronx River earlier this summer.
Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver expressed condolences to the families of the two 13-year old cousins, Erickson Villa and Wellington Gavi, who jumped off a boat launch site in June after cooling off from playing basketball in Starlight Park. Neither boy knew how to swim.
Responding to recent criticism over his department's slow reaction to the incident, Mitchell said that "a period of reflection, listening and studying the situation" had been necessary before executing changes.
The new safety measures include self-closing gates at the pier entrances, additional life rings and throw lines, weekly inspections by the Parks Enforcement Patrol as well as solar-powered emergency call boxes on eight city-wide docks that lead directly into deep water. Additionally a total of 40 pier sites have added bilingual warning signs. The commissioner added that costs had been kept under $100,000, excluding the emergency boxes which are to be installed in the coming weeks.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. praised the comprehensive plans, while pointing to the bittersweet nature of this event. "This is not a happy day or occasion to make such an announcement," said Diaz, Jr., "but it's a necessary one".
Rev. Joel Bauza spoke on behalf of the victim's families, who did not feel ready to take part in the event. The families had been pushing local elected officials for two months to move more aggressively to prevent more drownings. "We are moving forward," Rev. Bauza said. "And that is what is important".
Some local residents at the Hunts Point Riverside Park press conference praised the new bilingual signage, pointing out that many Bronxites still mostly speak Spanish at home. Spanish was the first language of the two young boys who drowned in June.
Others were more skeptical of the initiative. "The neighborhood kids that want to jump will jump – with or without a fence," said Bronx resident Cicy Martinez. She also revealed that the new fence shown at Riverside Park on Friday had been demolished a couple of weeks prior to the press conference and had been replaced before the event. For Martinez the only solution is "better communicating water safety issues in ways that kids will actually listen".
Silver said his office has planned a high-profile public campaign before next summer to inform children about water safety. "Teaching our children how to be safe around water," Silver said, "should be as basic as teaching them to be safe around traffic."
New York City is surrounded by water, with more than 500 miles of shoreline — 14 miles along the Bronx River alone. There are also 14 miles of beaches, which were visited by nearly 15 million people last summer, and 55 outdoor pools, which were visited by nearly 1,600,000 people last summer.

This academic year, The British School in The Netherlands (BSN) has been delighted to welcome a new Headteacher to Senior School in Voorschoten. Mr Patrick Heuff, previously working at St George's British International School in Munich, became a welcomed member of the BSN community in September. Just as the BSN community has felt Mr Heuff's positive influence within the school from the beginning, he reports feeling very welcomed by the friendly students and welcoming staff.
In a recent interview with the school's podcast club, he delved into his reasons for wishing to join the BSN as a Headteacher. Mr Heuff told the interviewers that he felt "the pull of the BSN" and an "initial attraction" to the school, having heard about its "warm and friendly" atmosphere. He was pleased to see that the school's reputation did not disappoint. He specified that he had never come across more friendly and welcoming students in the past and that, given the choice, the school's environment is something he would not want to change but instead build upon. He revealed his wishes for the school to "provide the most excellent education that it possibly can" and continue to progress its approaches to teaching.
Additionally, Mr Heuff explained that he was interested in learning more about the Netherlands, the Dutch culture, and the Dutch language due to a personal connection to the Netherlands. He previously lived in Germany for four years and in England before that, but by moving to Voorschoten, he felt immediately welcomed and said it "feels a bit like coming home". This can be attributed to the warmth and openness of the local community of Voorschoten.

While expressing his admiration for the school's inclusivity and diversity, he also spoke about how proud he was of students having high academic outcomes whilst participating in activities and experiences outside the classroom. Mr Heuff is passionate about extra-curricular opportunities such as sports, Drama, leadership roles, Model United Nations, and the International Award that the school provides. He explains that he and the leadership team in the school are "looking at developing extra-curricular activities within the BSN and really pushing them forwards", as they believe that it is with the assistance of these extra-curricular activities that they can provide the most well-rounded education possible. He is delighted about the base that this school provides for students to continue to higher education or careers and wants to continue with the "high academic expectations" he has observed at the school.
After attending an alumni event at the school, Mr Heuff described being pleased to see that the "friendships and connections formed at the BSN continue throughout their lives." To him, a legacy is the memories that are left behind, and it was clear that all the alumni shared this sentiment as they returned to the school building again after so many years. They could see the effects of their legacy on the school, with some extra-curriculars they had put in place still continuing to this day or whole school events they had helped plan, are still incorporating their ideas.
We wish Mr Heuff the best of luck during his time at the BSN and look forward to seeing the lasting impact he leaves on the school.

Satyam was an issue some time back., government intervened, superseeded a public company, nominated board members. The new board carried out damage control exercise, found the buyer, retained existing clients with continued service.
This is no mean achievement., and kudos to the new board.
What does it means to indian incorporate?
1. Tech Mahindra would end up borrowing close to 2000 crores to meet the funds requirement of buy out. It means, companies are willing to lend to credible borrowers.
2. Indians thrive on chaos - be it simple traffic or collapse of company. Management skills of indian managers deserves special mention during crisis.
3. Take the example of Enron / Arthur Anderson episode and compare with Satyam - The indian government took credible steps to ensure business continuity.
4. Top professionals take calculated risks and the respective boards support them. This is no simple step and indicates well being of thought process.
Let us hope we will go forward !!!

Stefan Lindqvist (* 18. März 1967; † 1. März 2020) war ein schwedischer Fußballspieler. Der Mittelfeldspieler, der zwischen 1989 und 1990 in fünf Spielen für die schwedische Nationalmannschaft antrat, lief in Schweden, der Schweiz, China, Schottland und Norwegen auf.

Werdegang
Lindqvist debütierte in der Spielzeit 1986 an der Seite von Jon Jönsson, Mats Jingblad und Per Olsson für Halmstads BK in der Allsvenskan. Bereits in der folgenden Spielzeit hatte er sich im Kader der Wettkampfmannschaft etabliert und stand in allen 22 Saisonspielen auf dem Spielfeld, der Klub stieg jedoch als Tabellenvorletzter gemeinsam mit IF Elfsborg in die Zweitklassigkeit ab. Unter dem neu verpflichteten Trainer Stuart Baxter gehörte er zu den Stammkräften, die den direkten Wiederaufstieg in die erste Liga forcierten. In der Spielzeit 1989 erzielte er acht Saisontore und führte damit gleichauf mit Tommy Frejdh die vereinsinterne Torschützenliste an. Während der Verein als Tabellenfünfter nur knapp die Meisterschaftsendrunde verpasste, hatte er sich somit im Saisonverlauf in den Notizblock des Nationaltrainers Olle Nordin gespielt. Bei der 2:4-Niederlage gegen Frankreich im August 1989 debütierte er als Einwechselspieler für Mats Magnusson in der Auswahlmannschaft, sein Debüt krönte er mit dem Tor zum 2:2-Zwischenstand. In den folgenden Partien im Rahmen der Qualifikation zur Weltmeisterschaft 1990 gehörte er zum Kader, bei den Erfolgen über Albanien und Polen wirkte er als Einwechselspieler beim Erreichen der Endrundenteilnahme als Qualifikationsgruppensieger vor England mit. Im April des folgenden Jahres verletzte sich Lindqvist vor den WM-Vorbereitungsspielen gegen Wales und Finnland, der nachnominierte Tomas Brolin nutzte seine Chance und verdrängte ihn aus dem WM-Kader.

Im Sommer 1990 verließ Lindqvist erstmals Schweden und wechselte zum Schweizer Klub Neuchâtel Xamax. Sein Aufenthalt in der Nationalliga A währte jedoch nur kurz, bereits Anfang 1991 wechselte er zum amtierenden schwedischen Meister IFK Göteborg in sein Heimatland zurück. Mit der von Roger Gustafsson betreuten Mannschaft belegte er am Ende der regulären Saison der Spielzeit 1991 den ersten Tabellenplatz. In der Meisterschaftsendrunde gehörte er neben Johnny Ekström, Ola Svensson und Peter Eriksson zu den vier Spielern, die als Torschützen erfolgreich waren. Mit fünf Treffern führte er den Klub zur Titelverteidigung. Auch die folgenden Jahre gestalteten sich erfolgreich. Zwar verpasste der Klub die Titelverteidigung in der Meisterschaft als Tabellensechster deutlich, in der UEFA Champions League 1992/93 erreichte er nach Erfolgen über Beşiktaş Istanbul und Lech Posen die seinerzeit acht Mannschaften umfassende Gruppenphase. Hinter dem mit sechs Siegen dominierenden AC Mailand Gruppenzweiter verpasste er zwar das Endspiel mit sechs Pluspunkten deutlich, hatte sich aber Anerkennung erspielt.

In der Spielzeit 1993 lieferte sich Lindqvists Mannschaft mit IFK Norrköping ein Duell um den Meistertitel, letztlich setzte sie sich mit fünf Punkten Vorsprung auf den Vizemeister durch. Damit war der Klub zu seinem 90. Geburtstag 1994 wieder für die europäische Königsklasse qualifiziert und sorgte dort für eine Überraschung. In der Gruppenphase der UEFA Champions League 1994/95 traf die Mannschaft auf den FC Barcelona, Manchester United und Galatasaray Istanbul, nach vier Siegen und einem Unentschieden qualifizierte sie sich als Gruppensieger fürs Viertelfinale. Dort scheiterte sich aufgrund der Auswärtstorregel am deutschen Vertreter FC Bayern München. Im November 1994 hatte der Klub bereits erneut den Meistertitel verteidigt, bis 1996 gelang der Titelhattrick in Schweden. Lindqvist war dabei jeweils Stammkraft und gehörte entsprechend zu den 14 ausgezeichneten Meisterspielern. Der Erfolg wirkte sich auch auf die Mannschaftszusammensetzung aus, etliche Spieler folgten Angeboten aus europäischen Profiligen.

Auch Lindqvist zog es Anfang 1997 erneut ins Ausland, er nahm ein Angebot des chinesischen Klubs Dalian Wanda an. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit kehrte er jedoch nach Europa zurück, die Spielzeit 1997 bestritt er erneut für den IFK Göteborg und wurde Vizemeister. Im März 1998 holte der finnische Trainer Harri Kampman ihn zum FC Motherwell. Zwar erreichte er mit der Mannschaft den Klassenerhalt, am Saisonende erteilte der Klub ihm die Freigabe. Daraufhin wechselte er nach Norwegen zu Strømsgodset IF. 1999 kehrte er zum IFK Göteborg zurück, beendete dort jedoch im selben Jahr seine aktive Laufbahn.

Leben
Lindqvist litt an Amyotropher Lateralsklerose (ALS) und starb daran im Alter von 52 Jahren.
