There are 100's of different kinds of cancer. Cancer treatment will depend on the cancer type, stage, and grade, and health of the patient.
The best option for cure is surgery.
In general, the most common forms of lung cancer when caught early are highly curable with surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Most patients will not have symptoms until the cancer is very advanced or has spread.
In general there are 3 ways we treat cancer. Surgeons operate and remove cancerous tissue.
Patients should have digital rectal exams (DRE) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing regularly after surgery and radiation therapy.
While a "Whipple" is an extensive surgical procedure.
It should not prevent you from getting a colonoscopy.
If melanoma is caught in early stages, can it be "cured" meaning it will never come back? In brief: YES!!!
Yes. Reason to have suspicious moles checked out by a dermatologist ASAP.

TIME has no clue about "German parenting"
August 20, 2017 February 18, 2018 Aaron "Sleazy" Elias
TIME recently published an article in which a reporter enthusiastically writes about "German parenting". Sadly, she is incredibly mistaken, so I am going to set the record straight. We're off to a bad start already:
The first time I went to a playground in Berlin, I freaked. All the German parents were huddled together, drinking coffee, not paying attention to their children who were hanging off a wooden dragon 20 feet above a sand pit. Where were the piles of soft padded foam? The liability notices? The personal injury lawyers?
The writer omits that she most like witnessed a gaggle of tatted up single mothers who sat together, ramming ice cream down their throats, drinking beers, and smoking cigarettes if not weed. That is based on my experience in Berlin. The moral decay is utterly astounding, but to a hip TIME reporter from Williamsburg or some other "hip" neighborhood none of that may seem objectionable. Those single moms just don't give a shit. They may not even panic if little Matthis chases after a football but returns with a used hypodermic needle that was discarded by a junkie and asks his utterly worthless mother what that is. After all, rampant drug abuse is part and parcel of living in an utterly degenerate city.
In order to substantiate my claim of moral decay in Berlin, I dug up some statistics. Sadly they are only available with German headings, but I'll translate for you guys. Here is data for 2014, published in 2015 (source):
This table shows, in 1,000s, the number of married couples ("Ehepaare"), single parents ("Alleinerziehende"), unmarried couples ("Lebensgemeinschaften"). Of particular interest is the rubric families with children under the age of 18 ("Familien mit Kindern unter 18 Jahren"). The columns represent, in order, data for 2006, 2010 and 2014. This shows that there are almost as many single parents as there are married couples, which is quite staggering. Also, in Berlin there is a rather clear segregation between the creative crowd rabble and the better-off. The latter are heavily concentrated in the Western part, in areas such as Wilmersdorf or Steglitz-Zehlendorf. In the "trendy" parts of Berlin, though, you will see many more tatted up single mothers than well put-together couples.
In order to visualize the trend, here is data for 2015, published in 2016 (source). This is the latest data set available.
The updated data breaks out unmarried couples ("Lebensgemeinschaften"). The columns represent data for 2007, 2011, and 2015. Also, note that it is legal for homosexual couples to register their relationship with the authorities. They are also allowed to adopt children. Given how "progressive" Berlin is, probably a significant part of those are not traditional man/woman pairings. Further, note that homosexuals are allowed to marry in Germany, so reality may be even worse for society than those numbers imply, which are shockingly bad already.
The space cadet from TIME continues:
Contrary to stereotypes, most German parents I've met are the opposite of strict. They place a high value on independence and responsibility.
True, they most certainly are the opposite of strict. They have nothing but disdain for law and order, as a matter of fact, and think that their monthly welfare cheque is what they deserve because the evil capitalists are keeping them down. Those people are lazy unproductive leeches. No, they don't "place a high value on independence and responsibility". Instead, they are irresponsible and don't give a shit about their kids. There are so many single moms around that there are multiple dating portals just for that clientele. Instead of pining for the next cock, though, those women would be better advised to raise their children properly. Oh, wait, that's a catch-22. How would the dregs of society be able to raise productive members of society. Ah, nevermind.
Onward, comrades:
Don't push reading. Berlin's kindergartens or "kitas" don't emphasize academics. In fact, teachers and other parents discouraged me from teaching my children to read.
That is the case because they are lefties who detest academic achievement. In the better-off parts of Berlin, though, the exact opposite happens and parents actively intervene to make sure their kids do well in school. Plenty of parents even pay exorbitant school fees to keep their kids out of rotten publicly funded schools. Who in their right mind would be proud to raise idiot children? Lefties, on the other hand, don't seem to see the problem.
The apologies just keep coming:
But even in first grade, academics aren't pushed very hard. Our grade school provides a half-day of instruction interrupted by two (two!) outdoor recesses. But don't think this relaxed approach means a poor education: According to a 2012 assessment by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, German 15-year-olds perform well above the international average when it comes to reading, math and science while their more pressured American counterparts lag behind.
Here's a newsflash: those idiot children of idiot leftist parents never catch up. That biased reporter from TIME magazine either deliberately tries to deceive her readers or is just plain stupid when she conflates the performance of German high school students in PISA 2012, which was hardly great, with the performance of children in Berlin. The latter seem to learn very little. For instance, there was a minor scandal recently when it emerged that the general examination for 10th graders included a question that asked them to create the largest three-digit number possible, given the input 2, 3, and 6. Each digit has to be used once, and all digits have to be used. Obviously, the result is 632. Here is a source, in German, with a leftist apologist that tries to claim that this task was a lot more difficult than it might appear.
It gets worse and worse:
Most grade school kids walk without their parents to school and around their neighborhoods. Some even take the subway alone. German parents are concerned about safety, of course, but they usually focus on traffic, not abductions.
As most of you may be aware of, the left is big on pedophilia. Berlin is so degenerate that front organizations for pedophiles can persist for years before anybody questions what they are doing. (On a side note, sexually abusing children is called "pedophilia", while raising concerns that muzzies are slaughtering us in our streets is "islamophobia". Do you notice something?) In my view, part of the push of the left to dissolve the family unit is motivated by their desire to rape little children. It's rather ingenious: families would offer protection, but a doped out single mom who is too busy chasing after cock from low-quality men may not even notice that her little boy or girl has been targeted by a gang of pedophiles for years. How did you think Rotherham could happen?
If anything, Berlin is a great example of what happens to society once morals break down completely. It's the canary in the coal mine for Western society as a whole.

"In my view, part of the push of the left to dissolve the family unit is motivated by their desire to rape little children."
Is this similar to the end times of the Roman Empire, I wonder?
Lucretius Carus says:
I used to reside in Berlin more or less from 2004 until 2012.
Being an infrequent visitor today I can only watch in utter amazement at how degenerate and rotten its institutions and the overall appearance of its streets and public transport have become.
This TIME-article of course is disseminating classic Leninist disinformation, kudos to the Sleaze for dissecting that. The writer itself is probably even too much of an IYI dumbass to know what disinfo actually means and/or who Lenin was.
One of the most striking details of the piece is the mentioning of the "coming of age"-ritual of "Jugendweihe", a tradition continued from the East-German communist state, and still performed by leftist "non-profit youth organisations" in the Eastern districts of Berlin: "Jugendweihe happens when a child turns 14. It involves a similar ceremony, party, and gifts, marking the next stage of growing up. With all the negativity heaped on adolescents, there's something to be said for this way of celebrating young adulthood."
This of course shows very clearly, that her horizon of observation was very much centered around the remnants of the former East-Berlin way of life – maybe because foreign journalists still believe the rumors, that the former shabby Eastern districts are still the vibrant places to go for a "fun, progressive Berlin experience".
kudos to the Sleaze
They way you wrote that made me LOL.
Sarah issersohn says:
Did I stumble onto some alt-right website or something? Is this considered professional journalism, dripping with judgement (wait, isn't journalism supposed to try for impartiality, unless it's specifically an editorial? I am a tatted up single mom, and a child development major, and I've gotten a lot of compliments from renowned professors in the field, who had ample opportunity to observe my parenting style. The reason I'm not married to my daughter's dad is that I'm not willing to consign everyone involved to a life of miserable disharmony; rather, even though it's an enormous amount more effortfull this way, the healthiest choice for our family, is to be a two-household family. By choice. Because my child's mental health and happiness are incalculably more important to me, than the "terribly terrible tragedy" of some really really outdated societal prejudices. Oh, and just FYI, the national average in the US for single parents? According to the International Business Times, 1 in 4 children under the age of 18 in the US are being raised by single parents. But by all means, sprain your hand in your exhuberance to go pointing fingers. And by the way, my parents stayed married "for the kids" and I begged them to divorce from age 11 on, because we were all utterly miserable, every single day, until they finally split up when I was 17, and my life was able to really begin, giving me my first chance at waking up in the morning with a reasonable expectation that it wouldn't be a terrible day. So yeah, you might wanna ask yourself what the hell is wrong with you, and consider working on developing some journalistic integrity. Also, probably stop watching Fox"News". You probably still believe in Wellfare Queens as well. Actually, they all get to fly around on solid gold unicorns; it's not actually an extremely low-paying full-time job, requiring a minimum of 30hrs a week, work, school, or volunteering at an officially recognized charity. Bother to research, for yourself, before regurgitating what you hear on Republican Talk Radio, and see what happens…who knows, you might surprise yourself by saying something intelligent, at some point

Thank you for your contribution, Sarah. I will respond to you in a separate article. Doesn't the mere thought make you feel special?

Robert E Lee does not deserve to be treated in the same manner as Stalin or Lenin.
Robert E. Lee owned slaves, whipped slaves, and broke apart slave families. While he disapproved slavery, felt it was the best institution to deal with the different races. During his northern campaigns, he did send free blacks back to the south as slaves. He also broke his oath to fight for the Confederacy, which was primarily about protecting the "peculiar institution". So, while he was in no way a "Stalin", he is probably not really qualified for sainthood.
@ Clarke: fair enough, but all of this is nothing more but history. It's well-known agitprop tactics to derail a discussion and move it away from current pressing issues towards e.g. past gobbledygook.
Let General Lee rest in peace.
A much more interesting question would be: what is the liberal left trying to obscure by making use of such tactics? Could it be that they actually have no valid arguments pro bono on behalf of their own agenda? That they need to conceal that and run their ridiculous identity politics scheme instead?
@Clarke: What about this bollock:
" "that Confederate monuments have become symbols of modern white supremacy and neo-Nazism."
What does Lee have anything to do with neo-Nazism?

'You' are your best investment !!
I have written about some best investment options but I think at the end of day they still are not your best investment. I think it's 'You' and an investment in 'You' that should be your best investment decision. When I graduated out of my engineering college, I knew nothing about engineering. Frankly I wasted those 4 years learning nothing either theoretically or practically there. But I was certain about one thing, I would pass any exam which got reasoning, mathematics and English as a subject, practically giving me a wild card entry in coveted government jobs like banks, insurance etc and I easily got into junior management in a public sector bank.
This was not due to my efforts in engineering but my dedication towards mathematics during my school days which till this day is reaping benefits for me! But, wasting my engineering education practically deprived me a lot of career opportunities and I repent that.
Thus, when I joined the bank, I started learning things rather than just passing time. It wasn't necessary on my part as I was in a government job and no one could have fired me for not doing any productive work there !!
But, I know, if I were ever to leave this bank or asked to leave, I should equip myself with knowledge which can land me a good job somewhere else. I learned credit, made some excel sheets for faster loan processing and even did loan recovery by going to nearby villages! That helped when I left my job and started working on these things. In fact, both of my successful companies were born out of that particular knowledge.
It's not that the companies don't put anything in training their employees but that's a last place to look for if you are employed in a government job. I enrolled in 5 trainings at my bank and always found my teachers at the staff training centres sharing their experiences and 'tales' rather than something which I could have used at my workplace. When I enquired about that, I was told that this is your 'get away' from boring banking life !!
Anyway, even private companies have got this problem coupled with budget cuts, you got to learn yourself, equipping yourself with those basic tools which prepare you for life beyond your present organization.
Whether you are in marketing, IT, coding or in banking sector, make yourself learn and do things. That's an investment in you which has got its benefits. For example, your company will find you to be more productive, first to respond to crisis and that sure will reflect in your job profile, perks and incentives.
Then there are some personal benefits as well, you attend seminars and conferences where in turn you network to others and increase your circle. You will be asked for help at your workplace by your colleagues and your knowledge earned will help you wherever you go.
Rather than looking for the 'next' big stock or sector to invest, invest in yourself !


The swearing in ceremony was held on Monday at State House, Nairobi and was conducted by Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua and witnessed by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
Mr Boinnet, who handed over his office to Mr Mutyambai said he was satisfied by the work he did in the police service, chief among them implementing reforms initiated by Mr Kenyatta.
Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Fred Matiang'i and his Tourism counterpart Najib Balala were also among top government officials who attended the State House ceremony.
Mr Boinnet retired in March after serving a four-year non-renewable term as the police boss.
He was picked to replace the embattled David Kimaiyo who resigned on December 4, 2014 following a security crisis in the country.
Mr Kimaiyo and the former Interior CS Joseph ole Lenku struggled to contain terrorist attacks by the Somalia-based group, Al-Shabaab.
Following the appointment of the late Kajiado Central MP Major-General (Rtd) Joseph Nkaissery as the Interior CS and Mr Boinnet as police boss, terrorist attacks abated.
They easily won the confidence of the public in the manner they handled security issues, but not without criticism.
Under Mr Boinnet's leadership, the police service sought to improve its image but incidents of excessive use of force against opposition supporters during the 2017 election campaign and accusations of extra judicial killings frustrated reform efforts.


There's a nightclub in Beirut called B 018 that is infamous for its vampiric existence. Built in the city's Quarantina neighbourhood, its underground space has a metal ceiling that opens up to bathe revellers in starlight. With its coffin-like interior and gruesome history (the area is rumoured to be home to a mass grave), it is what Lebanese artist Rabih Mroué calls an in-between space – a place where the living and the dead might commune.
In Duo for Two Missing Persons (2013), the video that introduced Mroué's solo show at Sfeir-Semler in Hamburg, he asks: could dance act as a conduit between life and death? The video traces the artist's interest in mass graves and the grisly reality that, in such situations, bones must, by default, mix with each other, in a sort of macabre dance of disjointed bodies. To illustrate this, he mapped the number of possible combinations that two dismembered bodies could be reassembled into and sent it to a choreographer friend, asking him to use it as inspiration. The resulting choreography, which calls for painstakingly slow, continuous movement, manifests the stillness of death meeting the animation of life. Duo, like much of Mroué's work, draws on the artist's background in theatre and performance, while illustrating the forensic-like method of investigation he shares with postwar Lebanese artists such as Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari.
Starting with the dance notation of Duo, the exhibition was pervaded by a sense that, even when the human body was absent, the suggestion of a person remained present. The Crocodile who Ate the Sun (1982/2015) recalls the summer of 1982, when a 15-year-old Mroué witnessed Israel drop hundreds of thousands of threatening leaflets over Beirut. Thirty years later, the artist created facsimiles of the leaflets, gave them to his friends to hold and examine, and then photographed the papers after they'd been handled. Torn, taped, crumpled or even folded into a paper airplane, the photographed papers become mementos of trauma and physical manifestations of memories.
While the show featured two impressive wall-sized installations – Leap Year's Diary (2006–16) and After Midnight (2013) – neither had the impact of the comparatively modest Black Box I-X (2006–16), comprising ten small boxes, each housing a small collage. In order to view the images, viewers had to crane their necks to gaze into the box. Attached to each unit were headphones that played radio clips, songs and newsreels, creating cinematic montages: an image of religious clerics looking down a gaping pit held up by oil drums was accompanied by a raw rendition of Nina Simone's 'Strange Fruit' (1965); harrowing sounds from the 2004 Asian Tsunami played alongside a media clip boasting of the capabilities of the latest Israeli tank and an old Pathé newscast of the Hindenburg disaster: 'An inferno that became a flaming tomb, a twisted mass of girding.' But, 'a tragedy will not halt the march of progress.' Black Box I-X is relentless in its parade of human conflicts; man, Mroué seems to say, is destined to repeat the same travesties. And the artist does not let us escape that reality. By watching and listening, we are also implicated. Bending down and peering inside each box, it is not so easy to walk away: we cannot un-see what we have witnessed.
The remaining works in the show served to balance out the intensity of Black Box I-X. Between Two Battles (2013) engagingly illustrates Mroué's aunt's paranoid obsession with television white noise, and her conviction that it contains subliminal messages from the enemy. Two Hours without War (2013), meanwhile, stretches out the final two seconds of the last match of the 1982 World Cup between Italy and West Germany (which was cause for a ceasefire during the Israeli Siege of Beirut) to two minutes in length. The soundtrack of the film, the cheerful strains of Johann Sebastian Bach's French Suite No. 6 (1722–25), spread through the entire gallery, adding a glorious yet absurd counterpoint to the disasters portrayed in Black Box.
In Duo, Mroué notes how the notation for a Baroque dance looks like a massacre: 'For centuries are only a part of yesterday,' he says, 'and yesterday seems to be a long, a very long and exhausting day while the night was full of nightmares that are still haunting us today.' This exhibition, then, was Mroué's very own danse macabre: blending life and death, terror and the sublime. His understanding of what it is to be human, in all of its beauty and ugliness, burns through with an intensity that, despite – or because of – its theatricality, hits the viewer directly in the gut.

The term Disaster Recovery Plan, is known by some as DR or DLP (Data Loss Protection) is a solution either embraced by an organization or pushed under the rug much like eating right and exercising is by a large majority of the population.
Too often, many small businesses rely on an employee to back up the data to an external hard drive or burnable CD/DVD. While this backup is better than nothing, it is seriously flawed. Most of the time, the employee forgets to backup the data. Also, the problem with these backup procedures is that if your data is corrupt, you will more than likely overwrite your last good backup with corrupt data during your next backup. Then, when you need to restore good data, there is none.
Implementing a Data Backup Solution can help protect irreplaceable intellectual property and company data in the event of any unforeseen natural disasters or system failures. More often than not, companies find themselves unable to recover data using standard recovery practices.

Q: How Kafka poll method works behind the scene in Spring Boot? In Kafka for Spring, I see by default the max-poll-records value is 500.
So my question is suppose if 500 messages are not present in the Topic will the consumer will wait to get 500 records then the poll method will run and fetch the batch of records.
I am a bit confused here like what are all the checks before pulling the message from Topic.

A: Kafka operates with hybrid strategies of polling. Usually, it is a combination of the number of records (or bytes) and time interval.

Md. coroner: Baby's death ruled accidental after violent crime came too late
The coroner determined that 6-month-old Alexander J. Huguely Sr. was unlawfully killed by his father on May 25 at home in Rockville, Maryland. The baby's death was first ruled a homicide because of blunt force trauma to the head. But this was later reduced to an accidental death after no finding of criminality was found. In case you didn't know, Maryland is a "sanctity of life" state. That means a police report of a baby's death can be deemed a homicide if there's reason to believe the baby died as a result of severe, deliberate physical abuse. This is just another sad, tragic reminder of the scourge of child abuse and neglect.
What happened in this case: On May 25, at approximately 2:05 pm, Alexander Huguely Sr. called 911 to report a "disturbance" at the home. When officers arrived, Huguely (the child's father) was yelling at the officers. When Alexander's mother answered the door, Huguely and the mother began yelling at each other. Both of them were distraught, crying, and said they both had just lost a child. The mother told officers that she had given birth to a son six weeks earlier and that the baby was "healthy" and "well" but was very tired. She said the baby had vomited twice that day and was examined by the doctor, who found nothing wrong.
Officers found the baby lying on the bed in the middle of the hallway. In addition to a swollen, bloody head, the baby had bruising all over his body. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:43 pm.
Huguely's account: On the way to the hospital, Huguely told officers he had been sleeping on the couch in his bedroom. During the night, he went to eat dinner with his sister. At some point in the evening, he became frustrated with his daughter and took her chair. After she cried in pain, he got up and placed her back in her chair. Huguely and his sister began playing with the baby on the couch. At some point, he sat down with the baby, without her permission, and proceeded to kiss the baby on the forehead. Huguely then told his sister to call his stepmother, which she did.
Huguely's stepmother told police that her husband said something to the effect of "That's mine, that's mine." While she was on the phone with his wife, she heard the baby's mother screaming, asking for help and saying, "My baby's choking on a toy." When she got there, she said Huguely told her, "What can I do for you." Huguely then got up and walked toward the baby. The stepmother told police she did not see how hard Huguely struck the baby or how hard the baby fell on the ground. She said Huguely then said something to the effect of, "I didn't mean to" and grabbed the baby's hoodie and swaddled him, indicating the baby was lying limp on the bed.
Huguely has been charged with first-degree murder, reckless endangerment and child abuse/neglect.

High Council of Justice "punished" with advanced training the judge who pursued AutoMaidan activists
Дата: 04 April 2017
The High Council of Justice (HCJ) decided to send Judge of Podolsky District Court of Kyiv Svitlana Bohinkevych, who is related to the prosecution of Euromaidan activists, for the professional development course.
As reported by Roman Maselko, the lawyer of AutoMaidan, on his Facebook page.
Svitlana Bohinkevych will continue to receive salary
According to him, on March 31, the First Disciplinary Chamber of the HCJ decided to impose a disciplinary penalty in the form of a temporary suspension from the delivery of justice for 2 months with deprivation of the right to receive additional payments to the official salary. In addition, the HCJ decided to send the judge to the National School of Judges of Ukraine so that she could undergo a professional development course with subsequent qualification assessment to confirm the ability to deliver justice.
Roman Maselko noted that in this way the High Council of Justice "has established gross violations on the part of the judge, but instead of dismissing her, she will be directed to study at the School of Judges". While, during all this time, Svitlana Bohinkevych will continue to receive salary only without salary increment, resents the lawyer of AutoMaidain.
"Judge Bohinkevych considered 3 cases against drivers, who went to Mezhyhirya Residence in December 2013. She revoked their driving licenses without any proof of their guilt. One of the drivers was not even at the place, where he allegedly violated something", – said Roman Maselko.
He is convinced that the HCJ "stubbornly ignores the facts that the judges issued such decisions not because of a lack of qualification, but under pressure and by order of the Presidential Administration".
"The High Council of Justice covers these facts and persistently convinces that it happened because "judges were incompetent", and therefore, wants to preserve the power of authorities to influence the judges", – he said.
As a reminder, on March 24, the High Council of Judges refused to dismiss Victor Kitsyuk, Judge of the Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv, due to the expiry of the statute of limitations. The judge confirmed that his own sister was an assistant to Inna Otrosh, Chairman of the Pecherskyi District Court. And she had the power to carry out automatic distribution of cases. The investigators established that an intervention had been made to the automated system. According to Roman Maselko, all of the AutoMaidan cases were considered by judges Victor Kitsyuk and Oksana Tsarevich.
Larisa Golnik, Judge of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Poltava, called on the judiciary to self-renewal by listening to well-founded claims of the public and journalists.

Looking for a tote the note car dealer in Jacksonville?
If you have a bad credit history, it can be difficult to find a dealer that's willing to sell you a car or truck. While the majority of dealers will turn you away, Jacksonville tote the note dealers are happy to welcome you in. Jacksonville dealers with tote the note financing offer customers with bad credit the chance to get into a vehicle.
Jacksonville dealers with "tote the note" financing often stock cars whose quality does not match with their pricing. The vehicles frequently show signs of hard and prolonged usage, including excessive mileage, worn-out components, and damage from previous accidents. Customers who purchase cars from Jacksonville tote the note dealers may find themselves in unfortunate situations where their used cars wear out before they finish making payments.
One of the major drawbacks to Jacksonville dealers with tote the note financing is a serious lack of flexibility. While they do offer easy financing to those with bad credit, they are usually accompanied by shady terms. That's because they may be skating around financing regulations set by the government to protect you, the consumer. At DriveTime, we are not a Jacksonville tote the note dealer, meaning we will work within the laws to get you into a car with fair financing.
While we love what Jacksonville tote the note dealers do for those with bad credit history, it's worth noting that DriveTime may be a better option.

A small area just outside of Malie City. To start with, continue following the main road north. Before the road starts to bend, there's a Pokemon trainer to the right who wants to battle. Or if you'd prefer, you can sneak behind him through the tall grass.
Literally rubbish, not that they're bad Pokemon, mind. Either way, clean them up with a strong Ground or Psychic Pokemon.
Afterwards, carry on north. Towards the far north-west corner, there's an Antidote on the floor, near the tall grass. Next, head east towards the south side of the Recycling Plant. An event will occur and you'll be invited to a Pokemon battle.
This multi-coloured slime is only weak to Ground moves. Otherwise, Pokemon that resist Poison or Dark, such as Steel-types, are your best bets. Try to finish it fast before it spams Minimize to bolster its Evade. Smart Strike is good if you've learned it.
Next, you'll be facing the apprentice. Time to put on a brave face!
The unevolved form of Muk, so if you could beat Muk, this one should be a no-brainer, even though it's higher Level. You have to give Chase credit for trying!
For lending a hand, you'll receive a… Twisted Spoon ? This item boosts the power of Psychic-type moves when held, so it's not actually trash. Still, appearances can be deceiving. Just a little more and we're done here! Continue east along the south side of the Recycling Plant.
If it's day, go and rescue the Zygarde Cell (36) below the yellow parked car. After that, chat to the nearby man with the red shirt. He'll teach you about battle styles, which are the way you look during VS Battles and also when you throw your Pokemon.
You'll automatically learn the "Elegant" style, although if you beat the Captains after each grand trial, you can also unlock the "Left-handed", "Girlish" and "Reverent" styles. Refer to the Melemele Sidequests **** and Akala Sidequests for more info!
Smug: After battle with Gladion on Mt Lanakila.
Passionate: Win 50 battles in a row in the Battle Tree.
Idol: Clear Master Rank in the Battle Royal.
Two of those are a lot more involving than the rest. Good luck with 'em. Next, head north-east towards a familiar looking chap staring at the ocean. Chat to him to receive a Friend Ball , another rare Kurt's Ball. Once he's gone, head west behind the car park to find an X Speed .
Almost done. Return to the car park and make your way south towards the row of tall grass, east from Janitor Melvin near the entrance. Wade through to find a small clearing. At the end, there's a Nugget that somebody failed to notice. Lucky for you!
You've practically cleaned up Malie City now. To proceed, return south to the main part of Malie City. Next, follow the main road south towards the south-west corner of town. At the pedestrian crossings, head south-west to reach Route 10.
Nothing terribly exciting here. Just Trubbish, which are found commonly. Catch it quickly, so we can move on to more exciting places!


Facts: This case (Ackerman et al v. U-Park, Inc. – United States District Court – District of Nebraska – March 20th, 2019) involves a slip and fall. The plaintiff alleges that, after she parked her car in a lot to attend a nearby event, she slipped and fell on black ice that she was unable to see because it blended into the blacktop. In order to answer the question as to how the ice originated, the plaintiff hired Property Management Expert Witness Philip B. Wayne to provide testimony. The defendant has filed a motion to exclude this expert from testifying.
Discussion: Wayne performed a "volleyball roll" and observed "asphalt staining patterns" to come to his conclusions. He concluded that 1) there was a complete lack of maintenance on the lot surface; 2) a birdbath existed in the Stall; 3) The Lot's natural drainage path would allow for ice and snow to melt and drain towards the birdbath in the Stall; and 4) black ice formed in the birdbath causing Ackerman's fall.
The court opines that the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that Wayne is qualified to offer expert testimony on his theory that a birdbath resulted in black ice. The court opines that Wayne does not have the relevant academic qualifications and thus relies on practical experience to attempt to qualify as an expert. The plaintiff, the court notes, has not established that Wayne's practical experience bears a close relationship to his opinion that a birdbath existed in a Stall two years prior to his inspection of the lot.
In addition, the plaintiff has failed to explain how experience in managing properties that have parking lots surfaced with asphalt makes him an expert about asphalt and the rate at which it deteriorates. Also, the plaintiff has failed to meet the burden in showing that Wayne's testimony is relevant and reliable. The court notes that Wayne did not examine the stall until more than two years after the plaintiff's fall. Also, he did not take any photographs or otherwise document his inspection of the stall. To be sure, Wayne also admitted that he could not testify that a birdbath existed in the stall when the plaintiff fell from personal observation.
Conclusion: The motion to exclude the expert witness testimony of Philip B. Wayne is granted.

Internal Emails Show Twitter Struggled To Interpret Its Own Verification Rules While Hunting Trolls
Emails suggest that verification was never quite what Twitter said it was and that the company was aware it served as a tacit endorsement long before it admitted so publicly.
Charlie Warzel BuzzFeed News Reporter
Posted on December 19, 2017, at 4:19 p.m. ET
Twitter / John Paczkowski, BuzzFeed News
Twitter's January 2016 decision to unverify Milo Yiannopoulos, then Breitbart's tech editor, ignited a fierce debate among the company's top executives about how to enforce its opaque and ill-defined harassment and verification rules, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The internal confusion and frustration arose after an email Yiannopoulos sent to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey asking for his verification to be restored in exchange for a detente. The email, which was forwarded by Dorsey to Twitter executives, inspired a debate as to whether the company could or should reinstate the notorious troll's blue checkmark. The problem? Few inside Twitter seemed to have a clear understanding of the company's policy on verification or its meaning. Should Twitter reverse its decision or should it ban Yiannopoulos altogether — and which of those moves was best supported by the company's policy?
"I thought that he wasn't qualified for verification under current guidelines - is that not true?" Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's general counsel, wrote on the thread. "I want to make sure we are doing the right thing here and not responding to external pressure or attacks from him. We've already taken the PR hit, so let's make sure we are focused on getting this right!"
"If he is as bad as we think on abuse, why don't we just perma-suspend?" the VP of user services, Tina Bhatnagar, asked.
"It has become a cultural status symbol. It influences search ranking. It exempts a user from some spam filters. It gives them priority support treatment."
"To my understanding, none of the violations taken individually warrant permanent suspension and while we have escalations for repeat offenses of some types, we don't have a blanket 'three strikes you're out'-type policy," wrote Adam Sharp, then Twitter's head of news, government, and elections.
"I'd like to understand the verification policy and whether or not he is eligible or what would make him eligible. That should be an objective criteria in my view," Gadde replied.
This exchange and others reviewed by BuzzFeed News provide a rare glimpse into Twitter's years-long struggle to curb abuse and police trolling on its platform. The messages reveal that Twitter's rules — many of which have undergone changes in 2017 — were so vague and opaque that even the company's leadership struggled to interpret and execute them.
Indeed, the communications reviewed by BuzzFeed News suggest that within Twitter there was no clear consensus on what the company's verification badge meant. The blue checkmark, first introduced in 2009, was supposed to prevent impersonation. But according to the emails, some inside Twitter viewed verification as both an endorsement and a badge of validity — especially among journalists and celebrities. Other emails reveal that verification bestowed upon users perks and status within the Twitter community. More broadly they suggest that verification was never quite what Twitter said it was and that the company was aware it served as a tacit endorsement long before it admitted so publicly.
"One challenge is how verification has morphed into something so much more than a well-intentioned identity check," Sharp explained in a January 2016 thread that included top legal and communications team members and Dorsey, among others. "It has become a cultural status symbol. It influences search ranking. It exempts a user from some spam filters. It gives them priority support treatment."
Such internally voiced concerns, however, appear to contradict Twitter's own public messaging around verification. Nearly two years after the the Yiannopoulos debate — after Twitter verified white nationalist and Charlottesville rally organizer Jason Kessler — a tweet from the company's support account noted that "verification was meant to authenticate identity & voice, but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance."
"Keeping a bad ... user verified means awarding them and their abusive content extraordinary privileges and visibility."
One employee argued that Twitter's own internal metrics suggested a different meaning for the blue checkmark. "[Verification] makes the account measured for Media OKRs [Objectives and Key Results] and contributes to the VIT [Very Important Tweeter] count we report to shareholders," Sharp wrote in an email to fellow executives, suggesting that verified users were valuable to the company. According to a person in a position to know, Twitter's earnings reports included references to the number of celebrities and VIP users on platform, meaning that verification would boost those numbers.
"Under the current system," Sharp continued, "keeping a bad (based on TOS violations, not a commentary on content) user verified means awarding them and their abusive content extraordinary privileges and visibility, as well as a disproportionate impact on how we measure platform quality."
Reached for comment, Twitter pointed BuzzFeed News to public statements it made in 2017 as part of its pledge to be more transparent about its rules enforcement and interpretation — particularly when it comes to verification and account suspension. It also flagged other statements from executives apologizing for the confusion over verification. In recent months, Twitter has rolled out a public timeline for the implementation of new rules around unwanted sexual advances, nonconsensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorify violence.

The emails also highlight a fundamental tension inside Twitter — the strain between the company's desire to rid its platform of bad actors and its oft-professed commitment to a maximalist interpretation of free speech. In an email chain dated Jan. 8, 2016 — in which the decision to strip Yiannopoulos of verification appears to have been made — employees expressed their frustration with the company's inaction in the face of Yiannopoulos's rule violations.
"Based on my conversation with PartnerOps the other day, it sounds like [Yiannopoulos] technically does meet criteria for verification as a journalist (though we're unable to verify policy sign-off)," a Twitter senior policy manager wrote. "That said, we all seem to be in agreement that he's a notorious troll and that we'd be comfortable de-badging (or at least issuing a warning) if/when he crossed the line again." They continued with a list of Yiannopoulos's latest violations:
As a reminder, during the last ~2 weeks alone, he has falsely identified himself as a Buzzfeed Editor in his bio (prompted an emergency Media Team escalation)
-tweeted @KanyeWest naked pictures of his wife and insinuated that she's a whore
- continued his standard practice of writing hit pieces (factually accuracy unclear...they've linked to sites like Encyclopedia Dramatica and NCN content in the past)
- tweeting directly at the target of his piece to taunt them about it (target has typically already has him blocked) and subtly inciting mob harassment AND/OR
- posting screenshots of people who have blocked him, mocking that person, and tagging them anyway to subtly incite mob harassment (see latest example in email below)
- tweeted this https://twitter.com/Nero/status/685148564742389760 (still live) which could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate/silence women/a protected group... and many more examples.
"It is *extremely* difficult to justify/rationalize his verified status (the fact that he's still on the platform at all is a tough sell too)," the policy manager wrote. "We need to be better than this."

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey
While some messages show executives agonizing over the interpretation and consistent enforcement of the rules around verification, other messages suggest suspension and de-verification was at times something of a judgment call. In a Jan. 16 email, Bhatnagar, the VP of user services, told Dorsey and other executives that the 2015 suspension of right-wing troll Chuck Johnson could provide a precedent for suspending Yiannopoulos.
"Per our new enforcement policies, [Yiannopoulos] is consistently in violation but never of direct violence (which is what we perma suspend for). So if we can take the stance to debadge, then why can't we take the stance to perma-suspend?" Bhatnagar wrote. "We perma suspended Chuck Johnson even though it wasn't direct violent threats. It was just a call that the policy team made. He is finding loopholes in policy which is almost worse than the people who blatantly have violations."
"We need to be better than this."
In a subsequent email, Gadde, the general counsel, also referenced a May 25, 2015, email from Twitter's then-CEO Dick Costolo to the company's operations team, which suggested the decision to make Johnson's suspension permanent was made at Costolo's discretion. "As for Chuck Johnson - Dick made that decision," Gadde wrote before copying the text of Costolo's email to the chain.
"To be very clear, I don't want to find out we unsuspended this Chuck Johnson troll later on," Costolo wrote. "That account is permanently suspended and nobody for no reason may reactivate it. Period. The press is reporting it as temporarily suspended. It is not temporarily suspended it is permanently suspended. I'm not sure why they're mistakenly reporting it as temporarily suspended but that's not the case here...don't let anybody unsuspend it."
Costolo did not respond to a request for comment.
Despite ongoing debates over Twitter's rules for policies around verification and suspension, company executives seemed befuddled and, at times, hamstrung when it came to enforcing them. Even after the company decided to strip Yiannopoulos of his verification, Dorsey appeared dissatisfied with Twitter's interpretation of its own policies. "Think a debate worth having is suspension versus removal of badge per harassment policies. Feels like we mixed the concerns a bit here," he wrote to other top employees.
Despite Yiannopoulos's ongoing bad behavior on the platform and violations of Twitter's rules, it would take another seven months before Twitter ultimately suspended him; the final straw for the company was the targeted harassment campaign he brought against actress Leslie Jones. Shortly after Yiannopoulos's suspension, Dorsey sent an email to Twitter employees pledging to make safety "a top-level priority of the company." Signing off on the email, Dorsey tried to rally employees, asking them to stay positive:
"It's natural during times like these to focus on the negative. I was listening to a podcast on my walk to work this morning that referenced this Gandhi quote:
"'You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.'
"Let's make sure we continue to remember that."

I have prepared for January a special calendar to be downloaded for free from the home (no email request 😉).
So I thought that I could share some useful suggestions for those who look out or are new to the digital world.
In the middle are also the memo with the Fablab events and some applications that I find really interesting to create online content.
The graphics, captivating and not typical of the classic calendars (monotonous and monochrome), I hope you like it, I enjoyed it with my heart colors and trying to bring out each day differently from each other.
I also found some curiosity on the net.
For example, did you know that January 4th is Trivia Day? It's just like the famous Trivial Pursuit game. So the nice thing to do is to look for a question that can refer to your brand or company and create a content (maybe a meme) with a prize for the best answer.
Everyone likes to play, it's true? If you think that companies to be taken seriously just have to communicate in a serious way and tie you will have to change your mind!
Today gamification, involving increasing engagement through similar ways of playing, is a necessary requirement both in the processes within companies and even more aimed at its market.
Want another curiosity before downloading your January MAKE?
If you are a woman read the suggestion of 26 😉 immediately!
If my calendar inspires you use the #fablabcatania tag for your content so I can give you my Like and follow your brand.

The Telegraph in the UK has been implementing and experimenting with innovative tools, ranging from interactive embeds to a robot live-blogger, to boost engagement, efficiency and creativity in the newsroom.
The #CharlieHebdo newsroom massacre has rocked the journalism community around the world. Many leading international newspapers ran editorials today that declared the 10 slain magazine staff heroes, and even press freedom 'martyrs'. The need to reject attempts to silence journalists and urge tolerance towards Muslims constituted the dominant themes. Ashleigh Tullis and Julie Posetti looked at eight major international English language titles' editorials and curated front pages and cartoon tributes from around the globe.
The headlines varied from paper from paper, and even from edition to edition, as the votes trickled in in the early hours. Print deadlines meant many editors were forced to go to press before even the first results had been announced. Paul McClean examines the leading British national newspapers' coverage of the Scottish independence vote.
The incoming Editor-in-Chief of Guardian.com, Janine Gibson, says that investigative journalism may need to be moved 'off shore' to avoid the threat to sources and reporters posed by state surveillance, in the post-Snowden era. "We will have to move to the place where it's easier to report – where there are less restrictions", Gibson told the World Newspaper Congress and the World Editors Forum in Torino, Italy, today.
Sacked Telegraph editor becomes sous chef?
Some ex-editors post bitter recriminations about the corruption of their countries' governments, others seem resigned to a changing media world. Few, if any, however, take the radical change in career direction that ex-Telegraph Editor Tony Gallagher revealed two days ago in a series of scintillating tweets.

Is Vegas shortstopping Colorado River water?
Pipeline footprint. Source: BLM. Click to enlarge.
Thud. Eight years after Congress ordered that Las Vegas be given right-of-way across federal land for a 300-mile-long pipeline from Southern Nevada to the foot of the Great Basin National Park, the final environmental impact statement has been published. A reporter at High Country News puts the length of the document at 5,000 pages. Who knew that anyone would count the pages, much less read them? Give the man a raise.
The most likely permission to be granted when the Department of Interior certifies the report in October would allow urban siphons into four of five targeted valleys, but set aside questions of right-of-way into a contested basin on the Utah border. Utahns seem in no mood to sign a water-sharing agreement that they fear could leave them downwind of a 21st century dust source like Owens Valley.
Which begs a political tidbit: This Utahn upper hand in the trans-boundary chapters of the Vegas pipeline war is owed to former US Senator Bob Bennett, who in 2004 slipped a requirement for Utahn approval of water exports from any shared valleys into the bill that triggered the environmental study. In 2010, the Republican Bennett was replaced by Tea Party candidate Mike Lee. In the small world department, according to Lee's website, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was Lee's 6th grade LDS home teacher in Washington DC. Reid, D-Nevada, or as he is half-jokingly known, "the Senator from Las Vegas," is one of the central architects and boosters of the pipeline scheme.
Faced with a political juggernaut driven by Senator Reid and fueled by Vegas dollars, opponents of the pipeline such as the Great Basin Water Network are encouraging objectors to write Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. The Center for Biological Diversity has provided a web page where you can do it without a stamp.
Whatever one thinks about a snail here or desert fish there, no one should underestimate the threat posed by Las Vegas's pipeline plan to an entire network over thousands of square miles of ancient oases for desert flora, fauna and migrating birds. The SNWA's cynicism about the natural inhabitants of the Mojave and Great Basin deserts leaps out of the FEIS in odd moments, like this note about a spring reconnoitered by SNWA prospectors in Dry Lake Valley: "At the time of a field visit in June 2004, wildlife was the only observable water user." This, to SNWA, is a waste of water.

Should anyone bother reading the FEIS before Interior deems it done and dusted? It is an open secret that these things are written to get politicians with short attention spans to judge them by their weight, or even the length of their titles. But yes, the Bureau of Land Management worked hard on this report. Its staff caught incoming from every possible direction. And apart from the over-generosity of the SNWA with its own data and analyses, there are good pickings, among them Chapter 3, Section 3.
Here, plainly laid out in the water budget of the project, groundwater from three valleys relatively near to Las Vegas have negligible evaporative discharge to Joshua Trees and desert tortoises and are clearly identified as tributaries to the White River/Colorado River flow system. This system terminates in Lake Mead. Yet a total of 22,861 acre feet per year from these basins was awarded earlier this year to the Las Vegas pipe by the Nevada state engineer. Behold links for the decisions on Delamar, Dry Lake and Cave valleys.
The SNWA euphemism for this water is "instate resource." There is nothing like a watershed that observes political boundaries — literally, nothing. Follow this logic and almost all of the flow of the Colorado should never leave the upper basin states of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. It only seems fair that if the SNWA wants to sneak some Colorado River water from the river's underground flow system before it reaches Mead, it should relinquish an appropriate part of its claim to Nevada's surface water allocation. Anything else is casino accountancy.
On the subject of filching, will California please steal founding SNWA general manager Pat Mulroy from Las Vegas? Talent like hers should not be wasted masterminding water grabs, unless the water is in urban gutters. In Southern California, every year two to three times the total haul of water that the SNWA plans to vampirize from the Great Basin runs through storm drains as spill-over from lawn sprinklers and car washing. Nobody could capture it with the speed, flair and emphasis that Mulroy showed in lawn removal programs in Las Vegas. If anyone could lead Southern Californian cities to the kind of savings that they need to respect the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, comply with dry season run-off pollutant standards under the Clean Water Act, restore Owens Valley, stay within their Colorado River allocation and still plan for growth, it's Mulroy. And think of the savings to civic coffers, starting with the $15bn that the SNWA pipeline would not cost Las Vegas homeowners and businesses.
It will be a terrible loss to Nevada, but we are willing to send Pat (and her triple-digit percentage water rate increases for churches, nonprofits and residents v. 2 percent increases for golf courses and casinos) to California as long as you agree to never, ever send her back.
Let me speak to my people.


Gatefold 180g audiophile vinyl reissue with insert from Music On Vinyl.
The missing link between The Beatles and the Gorillaz, 10cc ruled the pop world at a time – the 1970s – when the charts were dominated by some of the most creative and colorful artistes in pop history. Unlike David Bowie, Queen, Elton John or Rod Stewart – all of whom they stood shoulder-to-shoulder with for a decade – 10cc worked not on image or celebrity-status, but on the art of making highly sophisticated rock masterworks into simple-sounding pop hits.
From their breakthrough #2 hit "Donna" in 1972, to their landmark 1975 single "I'm Not In Love" through to their final #1 – "Dreadlock Holiday" in 1978, 10cc stood for the kind of heightened pop sensibility achieved only by the very greatest music practitioners. It was obvious right from the start that 10cc wasn't like other groups. All four members could sing, were seasoned musicians, and were adept in the recording studio.
Originally issued in 1976, the band's fourth full-length How Dare You! marked the beginning of the end for the original 10cc line-up. Kevin Godley and Lol Creme felt that everything was getting too predictable, with the constant cycle of writing, recording, doing press, promotion, rehearsals and touring. Although How Dare You! is a fine piece of work and produced the two hit singles "I'm Mandy Fly Me" and "Art for Arts Sake" one can detect the storm clouds gathering. Featuring cover art designed by Storm Thorgersson of Hipgnosis.

Water was seeping at 1200 liters per hour into the newly constructed vent shaft measuring a depth of approximately 830m through the concrete shaft lining through construction joints. The shaft was developed through a waterbearing zone approximately 40m below surface.
Cementation of the drilled holes took to long to set and progress was too slow. Liquid Waterproofing undertook the chemical grouting under extreme conditions and sealed the water as development continued.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
Letter to Ethel Roosevelt, The White House, 22 June 1904
Well known for his larger-than-life public persona and exemplary progressive legacy, Roosevelt was also an attentive parent to his six children. When he was away, TR wrote frequent letters about his activities, illustrated with humorous sketches. In this letter, sent to thirteen-year-old Ethel, TR cheekily describes his self-portrait playing tennis thus: "Father's shape & spectacles reproduced with photographic fidelity." The picture-letters offer a more humanizing portrait of TR, showcasing his kindness and humor.

Deicide to Headline 2015 Metal Alliance Tour With Entombed A.D., Hate Eternal + More
Chad Bowar
The Metal Alliance Tour is celebrating its fifth anniversary, and organizers have just revealed the lineup for this year's trek. Death metal legends Deicide will be headlining, with Entombed A.D., Hate Eternal and Black Crown Initiate also on the bill. One more artist is expected to be announced at a later date.
The tour will kick off in May on the East Coast and run through June. Exact dates, venues and ticket information will be announced soon.
Deicide have been a controversial band since their inception in the late '80s. In an interview with Loudwire, frontman Glen Benton says despite his evil image, he's just a normal dude.
"I'm just a regular person, just a stay at home dad," Benton says. "I take care of my 12-year-old, send him off to school in the morning. I grocery shop, I wash laundry, mow the grass, I'm just a regular person … during the day. At night, when the Cross starts showing, then I put my Deicide boots on."
Deicide's latest album In the Minds of Evil was released in 2013. The band has been working on the follow-up, which is expected to be released sometime this year. Though nothing is confirmed as of yet, it may very well be out by the time the Metal Alliance Tour launches.
Entombed A.D. were formed by four former members of the Swedish death 'n roll troop Entombed, including vocalist L.G. Petrov. Their debut album Back To the Front was released last year.
Hate Eternal last released 2011's Phoenix Amongst the Ashes, but have been in the studio working on a new album. The band was said to be mixing the disc in January. Meanwhile, Black Crown Initiate's The Wreckage of Stars disc was released last year.

'Supersize Me' director makes 'Greatest Film'
In 2004, the world was no longer able to deny the fact that they knew was true: McDonald's, even the healthy choices, are absolutely horrible for you. Of course we all knew this, but it was Morgan Spurlock's fascinating, slightly nauseating documentary Super Size Me that really drove the point home. The effects of the movie, in which Spurlock vows to eat only McDonald's for all 3 meals for a 30 day period, were momentous both in terms of the consumers and the company. The low-budget, "experimental" film went on to win the Sundance Film Festival's top documentary director award as well as get nominated for an Oscar. More than that, this film has been treated like a precious warning for future generations. Most impressive was McDonald's response to the film. After news of the documentary was released, McDonald's went into PR Crisis mode. The day before the documentary was scheduled to open, McDonald's added the "Go Active" adult happy meals to their menu. Soon enough, even their advertisements were focusing on "healthier choices," a trend that is still seen today. But perhaps most interesting is McDonald's decision to remove the forever tainted option of "super-sizing" a meal from their repertoire. These were the first steps toward a gradual,long-anticipated revolution in the fast food world.
It's nearly 7 years later and Spurlock is about to release his second documentary, also at the Sundance Festival which is currently going on. For his latest film, known as The Greatest Film Even Sold, Spurlock decided to investigate the world of product placement and brand integration. Spurlock quite literally financed this entire film, a $1.5 million venture, by contracted with 15 companies. Due to these contractual obligations, Spurlock decided to change the official name of the film to POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (anyone else really craving pomegranate juice all of a sudden?).
With a film financed entirely by brand name companies, it would be easy to assume that either Spurlock or these companies would seem like a bit of a…well, sell out. In response to a statement from EW asking Spurlock if he felt he was "risking essentially selling out [his] own movie," Spurlock laughs in response: "I'm not selling out–I'm buying in!"
And the companies? The whole premise of the movie came from Spurlock's distaste for the blatant, in-your-face product placements/integrations that plague television and film– wouldn't the companies be the enemy? In the same interview, Spurlock responds: "The companies who were willing to come on board this movie wind up looking great because they had the balls to take part." Proving, that the ability to laugh at oneself is an important key in both business (especially PR) and life.
Morgan Spurlock's documentary, which is already receiving warm reviews, can be expected to layer on the humor while also revealing a unique look at an interesting subject. I wonder what kind of effect this film will have on the marketing world?

Weighing in on the Golden Globes
I love movies and I love television, so I was most definitely among the many viewers who tuned in to the Golden Globes Sunday night. When I first heard that Ricky Gervais was hosting, I was as giddy as a school-girl. His past performances at awards shows, even those he wasn't hosting, have always been more than memorable (see example here). Gervais hosted last years Golden Globes and the result were increased ratings. This years outcome appears to have been the same, with a 5% rise in viewers. With these sort of results, Gervais would appear to be a shoe-in for hosting any number of award shows. unfortunately, his performance has brought in mixed reviews.
I would like to comment on the mixed reactions to Ricky Gervais' hosting. As I watched the Golden Globes, it was clear that Gervais was playing with fire, pushing the envelope with several of his jokes. The reaction from the audience present was a mixture of laughter, half-hearted "ohhhh"s, shocked gasps, and uncomfortable (and forced) chuckles (mainly from the butt of the jokes). His opening monologue was particularly harsh, commenting on everything from Hugh Hefner's sex life to Charlie Sheen's outrageous antics. After reading some reviews of the show, it appear that the most controversial remark he made was in reference to Scientology and the closeted homosexuals who practice it:
"Also not nominated was 'I Love You Philip Morris,' Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor.
Two heterosexual characters pretending to be gay.
So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then."
This thinly veiled joke seems to have upset much of the online community who have called Gervais' performance as everything from "rude" to "cringe-worthy."
When you hire Ricky Gervais, expect nothing less than Ricky Gervais.
He is a notoriously malicious comic. His jokes make fun of others as well as himself. And good for him–his unrelenting and unforgiving, an attitude that seems especially necessary in modern-day Hollywood. If someone really is to blame for his indiscretions, shouldn't it be the producers of the show who a) hired him (back) and b) failed to look over this prepared script?
Luckily, some of the stars seem to have taken Gervais' quips with a smile. After commenting that Robert Downey Jr. is probably best known for his stints in prison and rehab, the ever good-humoured RDJ took the stage and made his own risqué (though hilarious) jokes.
Others seem to have not been so happy with the comments. Reports say that several celebrity reps have already been in contact with the producers to voice their complaints.
My final word: It's Hollywood. Celebrities are in the spotlight, and when they end up making ridiculously stupid decisions (Charlie Sheen's shenanigans for instance), they can't expect to escape the inevitable jokes that will be made at their expense.
So Congrats Ricky Gervais! Show well done, and much enjoyed!

Toy Story 3: "For Your Consideration" Campaign
It's Oscar season, and any movie that was any movie is asking for the academy's "consideration." While some campaigns are less organized, such as Justin Timberlake's personal crusade to gain The Social Network some Oscar glory, Disney has once again pushed the envelope.
Animated films, no matter how amazing, are often overlooked in the Best Picture category. Only twice before have animated films been even considered for the honor– Beauty and the Beast ('97?) and last year's Up. But Disney's Toy Story 3 refuses to be ignored. To combat the often neglectful eye of the academy, Disney is running what appears to be an ingenious campaign for Toy Story 3 in an attempt to be considered as a Best Picture nominee.
Disney has released a series of imaginative posters comparing their Toy Story 3 to past Oscar Best Picture winners. Taking scenes from the actual film featuring all our favorites–Woody, Buzz, Jesse–each poster features the tagline "Not since [movie]…"
Spoofs include Lord of the Rings, On the Waterfront, and an all too funny picture of Jesse with the tag "Not Since Annie Hall…"
The website is featured below, and I've attached a few pictures to this post. Really, the photos are worth a look…and consideration (whether you're from the academy or not).
