The Atlantic Editor In Chief Jeffrey Goldberg Says Anonymous Sourcing Is 'Not Good Enough' After Backlash Over Trump Story
Screenshot MSNBC, All In with Chris Hayes
Shelby Talcott Media Reporter
Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's editor in chief, conceded on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" Monday that anonymous sourcing is "not good enough" after backlash over a story about President Donald Trump.
Goldberg faced criticism after a Sept. 3 story used four anonymous sources to allege that the president referred to fallen soldiers as "losers" and "suckers." Since its publication, Fox News and other publications have confirmed details of the story. Meanwhile, multiple current and former Trump administration members on the trip where the comments were allegedly made have denied the report, according to NBC News.
After saying the sources were allowed to remain anonymous because they feared "angry tweets and all the rest," Goldberg elaborated and suggested criticism regarding the sourcing is fair. Despite the comments, Goldberg also backed up his decision on anonymous sourcing for the article as well as the contents of the story.
"These are people just like other people, and they have this anxiety," Goldberg said. "It is a reasonable question to ask why people who have had direct exposure to Donald Trump, who know what Donald Trump has said, who know what Donald Trump has done, won't simply come out and say it."
"And I share that view that it's not good enough," he continued. "But, you know, like other reporters, I'm always balancing out the moral ambiguities and complications of anonymous sourcing with a public's right to know." (RELATED: Biden Megadonor Owns The Atlantic, Reportedly Communicates Often With Journalist Behind Anonymously-Sourced Trump Bombshell)
Goldberg reiterated his past defense, saying, "there is a fear on a kind of superficial level of a Twitter mob." He also said that he thinks "people are torn" with interfering "in Democratic electoral processes" and dealing with "a president unlike something" people have experience before.
"There is also real fear of personal safety, fear for your family, fear for what you'd put everybody around you through if you started talking about this sort of thing," Goldberg said.
The editor in chief continued on to quote Fox News' Jennifer Griffin, whose reporting has, in part, backed up The Atlantic's story. Griffin said Saturday to Fox's Neil Cavuto that her "sources are not anonymous to" her after Trump called for her to be fired.
Griffin noted Saturday that although she did not confirm "every line of the Atlantic article," she "did find people who were able to confirm" most of the report.
"I trust these sources. These are people in the various rooms. And, but yeah, obviously it would be better if people would say — attach their names to what they know," Goldberg said on MSNBC.

Ukrainians say the biggest problem facing their country ahead of a crucial presidential election in March is the same one that ushered in the current head of state in the first place: war.
It's been almost four years since officials from Ukraine, Russia, France, and Germany agreed on a way to end a hot phase of the conflict between Ukraine's central government and Russia-backed separatists in the east.
Fast forward to today, and that deal, known as the Minsk accords, has largely failed, much to the dismay of most of Ukraine's 44 million citizens.
Sporadic fighting has killed more than 10,000 people and displaced 2 million more from an area sliced through by a 500-kilometer "line of contact" teeming with land mines. As the war grinds toward a sixth year, there is no end in sight.
Just don't insist on seeing the fine print.
In fact, that's already happened.
Candidates Yuriy Boiko and Oleksandr Vilkul, whose opposition parties are regarded by some as Russia-friendly or pro-Russian, have suggested any peace deal should include compromises and dialogue with the separatists — a nonstarter for many Ukrainians who equate such a move with capitulation.
One candidate who has laid out a "new strategy for peace and security" is Yulia Tymoshenko, a former gas executive and prime minister who lost a presidential runoff to Viktor Yanukovych in 2010 and looks like a front-runner in the looming race.
She proposed a "Budapest+" negotiating format involving the European Union, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The name is a reference to widely lauded quadrilateral talks in 1994 at which a newly independent Kyiv agreed to give up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from Washington, London, and Moscow. Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine marked a clear abrogation of that commitment, in most Ukrainians' eyes.
But throughout, Tymoshenko was short on her plan's specifics.
"It does not reject the Minsk agreements and does not say what may be compromised regarding Donbas," Fesenko says in a reference to the eastern regions where separatists control large sections of territory.
Another candidate, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who plays a fictional president in a TV comedy series, recently offered voters something along the lines of "we'll meet in the middle" when asked how he might resolve the conflict.
Many of the two dozen people who have declared their intention to run — 17 of them already registered ahead of the February 8 deadline — have talked about ending the war, albeit in extremely vague terms.
Polls have shown Ukrainians' desire for peace growing as the election approaches.
A poll published in November suggested 57 percent of people saw the Donbas conflict as the country's most pressing issue, ahead of corruption. That was up from 53 percent in June. Later the same month, another survey put that number at 66 percent of Ukrainians. By December, more polling said 72 percent of Ukrainians regarded the war as the country's biggest problem.
Volodymyr Fesenko, director of the Kyiv-based Penta Center for Political Studies, says there are three main reasons why candidates avoid details when it comes to ending the war.
A peace breakthrough that could dramatically sway the race in Poroshenko's favor is unlikely before the election, given Putin's public disdain for the former businessman.
But both Fesenko and Haran suggest the war's hold on many voters, at least those farther from the war zones, might recede as election day nears. They point to the same polls indicating that the war falls to third or fourth place — after economic issues, such as utility prices, salaries, and pensions — when Ukrainians are asked what the most important issues are for their families.
Ukraine's roughly 36 million voters must be wondering if the same is true of their country.

THE ISRAEL REPORT
War Scare Fears Unfounded
By Efraim Inbar
February, 12 2001
Ariel Sharon's victory in the recent election has evoked fears of a dangerous regional escalation. The international press holds this view, often portraying Sharon simplistically as a warmonger. Such perceptions were also reinforced by Ehud Barak's election campaign that warned of the dangers of a general large-scale war unless Israel reaches an agreement with the Palestinians. Fortunately, such fears are unfounded.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has maintained a clear position, which precludes any threats of war being issued against Israel. Despite Egypt's diplomatic support of Arafat, it is extremely reluctant to be dragged into a costly war because of the Palestinians. Moreover, as long as Cairo holds on to its pro-American orientation, it will, in all likelihood, refrain from a blatant violation of the peace treaty with Israel.
Similarly, Jordan has no interest in a war against Israel which might turn its territory into a launching base for Iraqi forces. A war might cause much internal turmoil that might put great strain on the ability of the Hashemites to continue to rule over the Palestinian majority of their kingdom.
Actually, Jordan, though unable to say so publicly, is quite happy that Sharon has won the election because the danger of transferring the Jordan Valley to the Palestinians, which would allow easier access by the Palestinian Authority to the Palestinians in Jordan, has been removed. The Jordanian ruling elite understands well that a Sharon-led Israel serves as a better insurance policy than a Labor-led Israel that has a pro-Palestinian orientation.
Syria, as well, is not likely to engage Israel in a full-scale war due to its military weakness. Its conventional forces are capable of only limited action against Israel, although it possesses hundreds of long-range missiles, some armed with chemical warheads, that put all of Israel's population centers in range. The calculus of the use of force in Damascus is influenced also by the likely American displeasure at a clear sign of aggression against Israel. In addition, the Israeli-Turkish entente has a moderating influence over the behavior of Syria, which fears a two-front confrontation.
Finally, Bashar Assad and his cautious mentors from the old guard seem to prefer dealing with domestic issues designed to prop up their rule, rather than engaging in any brinkmanship with Sharon. This caution does not preclude, however, activating proxies in Lebanon - Shi'ites or Palestinians - into conducting a low-intensity campaign against Israeli targets, military or civilian, along its northern border. Taking into consideration an Israeli military reaction, such activity could indeed lead to an escalation. Yet, it is not an automatic process, as it requires an escalatory step by Damascus, which is not self-evident in the current circumstances.
This tour of the horizon leaves Iraq as the only source of serious mischief. Saddam Hussein has restored much of Iraq's capability to launch long-range missiles against Israel. His motivation to do so is very strong, particularly since championing the Palestinian cause serves his quest for a leadership role in the Arab world. Such a course of action is quite problematic, however, because it might provide the new Bush administration in Washington with a good pretext to settle an outstanding account with Baghdad.
The Palestinians would like to see themselves at the center of regional attention, but the past has shown that the Arab countries have never united in action, in contrast to rhetoric, to further Palestinian causes. They have always taken care of their own interests. Though the Palestinians are likely to continue with the current violence to test and/or provoke the new Sharon government, they are unable to trigger a regional escalation.
Actually, Sharon's tough image is a contributing factor to regional stability. Stability and peace are also predicated upon deterrence. Sharon is definitely more of a deterrent figure than any other Israeli leader. Only an Israel that is perceived as strong and determined can forestall challenges to regional stability and negotiate a deal that is conducive to peace in the region.
What lies ahead of us are Palestinian and Syrian attempts to test Sharon in the hope of Israeli timidity or overreaction. To a great extent, the first Israeli responses would determine the type of relations in the future. Eventually, the Syrians and the Palestinians will adjust to the new realities. Most likely, the Middle East leaders will heed the advice coming from Washington about retaining calm.
Negotiations over a grand package to solve all issues are unlikely and the world - particularly the Americans - is aware that Arafat is to be blamed for the political impasse, which consequently led to Sharon's ascendance to power in Jerusalem. The new approach to negotiations with the Palestinians, suggested already by Sharon, will be an incremental one. The target is a new interim agreement to supplant the Oslo framework. This seems also to be the preference of the Israeli electorate.

MOSCOW: Hooligans have been conspicuously absent from the World Cup and Russia's sense of vindication is palpable.
The beating muscle-bound Russian thugs inflicted on England supporters in France during Euro 2016 was still a major talking point in the run-up to the biggest event in sport.
Violence became a leitmotif of British and the broader media's coverage and a foil used by critics of President Vladimir Putin's rule.
Few things insensed Moscow more than another retelling of the chairs thrown and punches landed in Marseille.
Now the group stage of matches is over and little has disturbed the peace besides the all-night singing of happy fans in the streets.
Some things have gone wrong.
Three England fans were banned for performing an anti-Semitic song in a Volgograd pub.
And several female TV reporters have been groped and sexually harassed while doing their job.
But the host nation has emerged largely unblemished and the naysayers are being proven wrong.
This is Russia's "told you so" moment — and state media are relishing every minute of it.
Plenty of European media had actually stopped predicting a World Cup bloodbath by the final months of preparations.
Various hooligans told Western reporters that the Kremlin had been using a carrot-and-stick approach to ensure Russia was not embarrassed with the world watching.
The feared FSB security service locked up several hooligan leaders to signal they meant business after decades of doing little to counter football fights.
Others were interrogated in night raids on their apartments and given two options: either vanish for the duration of the World Cup or face years in jail for the most minor offence.
Security analysts said the bigger danger is probably coming from supporters of other teams with flourishing football underworlds.
Experts said these include countries in the Balkans and the traditional powerhouse Germany. England is always a menace and the Nordic states are starting to make noise of their own.
Russia says it is managing to avert violence by deploying a so-called Fan ID system that requires each ticket holder to undergo a security background check.
Those who passed are only allowed stadium entry with a card featuring their photo and a personal identity chip.

AGC Makes Its Voice Heard in the Regulatory Arena
BY STEVEN H. MILLER
The regulatory environment is shifting considerably as the Trump administration continues to undo numerous changes that occurred during Obama's time in office. While several recent revisions align with AGC's positions, there's more work to be done. The association continues to engage on a broad range of regulations, targeting regulatory and legislative issues that are of concern to its members and the industry.
ARTHIMEDES/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
To find out about the latest developments, Constructor spoke with Jimmy Christianson, AGC's vice president of government relations, who elaborated on several of the top ongoing regulatory issues as well as recent successes.
WHAT AGC FIGHTS FOR
Christianson points out that AGC's advocacy is not just about opposing regulation. "We look at the degree to which any proposed regulations could have an impact, whether positive or negative, and act accordingly. There's some rulemaking that we want. We fought to keep a rule on the limitation of state departments of transportation specifying proprietary products on federal-aid transportation contracts, a rule that had been in place at the USDOT for over a hundred years."
2019 SUCCESSES
Waters of the United States (WOTUS) — The EPA has now officially repealed the 2015 rule expanding the definition of Waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act. According to Christianson, the expanded definition of WOTUS resulted in a much longer permitting process, with federal permits on top of existing state permitting.
A final rule repealing the 2015 rule was published in October and will take effect Dec. 23, 2019. "Through a court action," explains Christianson, "about half of the country was under the pre-2015 rule, but the other half was under the Obama rules. Now the country will go back to the 1986 status quo rule." AGC continues to work with the administration to get better clarity about the actual extent of federal jurisdiction. "We expect that rule to come forth early in 2020."
While it sounds like the issue has been resolved the way AGC favored, Christianson is not closing the books yet. "We're cautiously optimistic, but there will be litigation. The hope is that the positions that we want will remain in place while litigation is under way."
Overtime — Another recent success is the modification of the overtime threshold. A new rule that would have doubled the threshold for overtime-exempt employees in the space of one year — from about $23,000 to over $47,000 — was halted by a court order in 2016, and then officially rescinded by the current administration. It was replaced with a more moderate increase, to $35,568. "A more gradual increase in the overtime dollar threshold was something that we were more supportive of," reports Christianson.
Endangered Species Act (ESA) Implementation — In August, the administration rolled back several of the Obama administration policies that required threatened species under the ESA to be treated as if they were endangered under the act. "That triggers more monitoring, stop-work requirements and mitigation than threatened species under the statute," Christianson states. "Our complaint was that if Congress intended threatened species to be treated like endangered species under the ESA, they would not have delineated a difference between them. Ultimately, that's the position this administration took, and they finalized the rescinding of that policy in August."
THE WORK CONTINUES
Going into 2020, AGC has over 20 initiatives on its regulatory advocacy agenda.
The OSHA Standard for Respirable Silica Exposure — AGC opposed the recently implemented standard for respirable silica and was party to a federal lawsuit, alongside other industry organizations, attempting to stop it. That lawsuit was lost in 2016, and the rules went into full effect in 2017. However, AGC is still working with the federal government to improve the way the rules are implemented.
"At a minimum," says Christianson, "we want to make the standard more flexible and clear, so that contractors can understand it, meet it and do it in a workable manner."
OSHA has put out a request for information to expand Table One, the list of specific construction activities that create respirable silica exposure, and the remedies that contractors can use. Table One offers a straightforward avenue for compliance that does not require air testing.
"If you're doing something on the site that's not an activity delineated in Table One," Christianson points out, "you could have to do all sorts of air testing, and could have to put your people on respirators, and could have requirements for reporting as well." AGC is seeking to expand Table One to include more specific activities and remedies so that compliance will be simpler and more predictable in cost.
Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs — "One of the biggest issues we've been dealing with is improving the pipeline of new workers into the industry. One issue there we have weighed in on involves industry-recognized apprenticeship programs (IRAP). This initiative would establish a new system for government approval of apprenticeship programs that would operate in parallel with the existing registered apprenticeship system."
The Department of Labor's proposed rule did not allow the construction industry to participate initially in the newly expanding program. In August, AGC submitted comments asking the department to include thoughtful solutions for all industries, including construction. AGC believes that expanding opportunity and access to all training opportunities is an important part of a multifaceted approach to addressing the crisis. While joint labor-management apprenticeship programs are the gold standard for training workers in the industry, high-quality unilateral programs should be eligible for government approval and funding on a fair and impartial basis.
"We fight for reasonable regulatory initiatives. Sometimes that means fighting bad regulations, and sometimes that means keeping in place the ones we think are good. Anything that impacts the construction industry, we take a look at."
~ Jimmy Christianson, AGC of America's vice president of government relations
Hours of Service for Commercial Truck Drivers — AGC is seeking a change to the short-haul exemption for the work hours of commercial truck drivers. "The construction industry uses trucks extensively to deliver and remove materials to and from the site, but," Christianson explains, "they're not like long-haul truckers. A lot of the time truck drivers are waiting in their vehicles for dirt to be loaded or materials to be unloaded." AGC argued that the 100-mile exemption for short hauls is unrealistic in the larger and less populated states and sought to expand the radius to 150 miles. The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration has proposed 150 as AGC recommended and proposed increasing the short-haul exemption from 12 hours to 14 hours. AGC submitted comments in October and is waiting for a final rule.
Other regulatory initiatives include DOL's proposed update to the Regular Rate of Pay regulations, pending OSHA updates to standards for Blood Lead Levels and Welding in Confined Spaces, and a pending update to Joint Employer Status under FLSA. Issues with DOT include flying drones at night and over people, processing Buy America/Buy American waivers, Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity contracts for federal-aid construction and a program for eliminating duplication of environmental reviews. Pending issues at the EPA include preventing regulation of stormwater discharge into groundwater under NPDES Stormwater Permit, redress of EPA's 404 Permit Veto Authority, clarification of state clean water certification procedures under the Clean Water Act and review of National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone and Particulate Matter.
"We fight for reasonable regulatory initiatives," Christianson states. "Sometimes that means fighting bad regulations, and sometimes that means keeping in place the ones we think are good. Anything that impacts the construction industry, we take a look at." A

Q: How to stop regular users from Switching Users I want to stop the normal users from using following commands

*

*/bin/bash

*/usr/bin/sudo

*/bin/su

I added them in sudoers file but normal user can still use the following command This is how i add the entry in Sudoers File
Cmnd_Alias   NOTALLOWED = /bin/sh,/bin/bash,/usr/bin/sudo,/bin/su
Only /bin/bash is working otherthan this sudo and su are not working and users are able to switch

A: Your question is a bit confusing. I think you want to prevent users from running commands as root. If that's what you want:

*

*Don't give them the root password. If they already have the root password, change it.

*Don't allow them to use sudo to run commands as root. Remove them from the suoders file.

Forbidding users from running a few commands such as su and bash while allowing users is completely useless. They'll be able to run any of hundreds of commands that allow running other commands (sh, env, perl, vi, nethack, gcc…). You can't achieve any extra security by blacklisting a few commands. If you don't want users to be allowed to run commands as root, don't allow them to run commands as root: keep them out of the sudoers file, or only allow a carefully chosen set of commands which do not provide a way to run a shell or to overwrite arbitrary files.
It's possible to set up a wheel group such that only users in that group can become root by running su, even if they know the root password. However, this is not really useful since user who know the root password can log in with login. Again, if there are users who know the root password but shouldn't, that's what you need to address.

A: Since they belong to root with regards to uid and gid, can't you just chmod 750 them?

I understand that there is a setting in Host Settings >> Other Settings >> "Enable Users Online" to enable tracking of online users. However, even I check it and set the "Users Online Time", the UsersOnline table still got no record when a user login or navigate to other pages.
you might need to re-install latest version of the module, which needs to be adopted for DNN 8, as the http handler has been removed from DNN Platform, AFAIR.
Thanks Sebastian Leupold for the answer.
I was thinking it was a core feature without installing any third party module.
Which module are you referring to? Can you provide me with a link?
but as far as I can see, the module has not been updated for DNN 8 yet.

The most popular thing I have ever written is almost certainly this old blog post from November 2012, The Secret Meaning Behind In The Night Garden's Opening Words. Written after watching too many episodes of ITNG while my oldest (then my only) son had pneumonia, it was a mostly-joking-but-OK-maybe-not-completely look at whether Iggle Piggle is really a dying sailor hallucinating in his last moments.
This post gets a steady stream of hits every day with occasional surges in popularity. One of its biggest peaks was in October 2015 when comedian Jason Manford chanced upon it while watching ITNG with his daughter and basically thinking "what is this all about?". He posted about it on Facebook, and thousands of people clicked the link. Many people agreed. Quite a few thought I was sick / bonkers.
To my great surprise I got an email this week from Jason's Absolute Radio show producer asking if they could make a video based on the post. How funny that he still remembered it and was tickled by it after all this time!
The video was posted on the Absolute Radio Facebook page.
It was great hearing my words performed in a dramatic reading like this – and it was even better to read all the comments! By the way, Jason, I still think I should get a scriptwriter's fee…. What do you reckon?
CODA: I almost crossed paths with Jason back in April 2014 when I was a reporter at the Birmingham Mail helping to cover Stephen Sutton's inspirational fundraising. I had hoped to chat with him about his support for Stephen but on the very day I was trying to get hold of him he was actually visiting Stephen in hospital in Birmingham. I can't believe that was nearly three years ago. Stephen, you were amazing. RIP.

Little Red Rabbit

The lead track on the new mini-album 'Lights' is one of the stand-out tracks on last years album release 'Volo'. There's also an alternate, earlier mix of that album's closing song 'If They're Right'. Beyond this are four new songs that throw a different slant on the band. Simpler and sparser, their drama is created through small detail. Where 'Volo' worked on a grand scale, a song like 'Boy In The Photograph' relates hazy, half-remembered childhood experiences, using a gentle build of instrumentation for accent. And there's 'Alone For The Winter', a bittersweet song of change and leaving, with delicate peels of violin and mandolin to thaw the frost. Written at the same time as 'Volo' yet never intended for that album, these undemonstrative new songs work together like Autumn fades into Winter - imperceptibly, quietly and with a little nostalgia. 'Lights', the film The release also includes a film made for the song 'Lights' by acclaimed photographer/film-maker Andrew Brooks. Renowned for his innovative approach to digital photography, Brooks frequently uses thousands of individual images to build up a single piece. A similar approach is used in this film, multiple shots segueing instantaneously into a seamless whole. Find out more about his work (with artists like The Ting-Tings and Magic Arm) and his past exhibitions (URBIS, MOSI) here: www.andrewbrooksphotography.com Sleeve information; 'Lights' comes in a recycled chipboard sleeve, each copy numbered and letterpressed by hand using vegetable-based inks at Hot Bed Press Studios in Salford.

Moth International - klasa jednoosobowych jachtów żaglowych regatowych o otwartej specyfikacji, która ma bardzo ograniczone wymagania, dotyczące jedynie maksymalnej długości jednostki, wysokości masztu, powierzchni ożaglowania, jednego kadłuba i kilku punktów dotyczących bezpieczeństwa. Całe przepisy mieszczą się na 6 stronach, a dokumentacja techniczna to mniej niż 3 strony.

Jacht posiada specjalną płetwę mieczową oraz sterową w kształcie odwróconej litery "T". Poziome części płetw posiadają płat nośny, który umożliwia otrzymanie odpowiednio dużej siły nośnej przy wietrze już 2-3°B i podniesienie kadłuba jachtu ponad poziom powierzchni wody. Dzięki wynurzeniu kadłuba zanikają praktycznie opory lepkościowe oraz znacznie zmniejszają się opory tarcia, dzięki czemu jacht może płynąć szybciej. Taki rodzaj jachtu to wodolot. Wysokość kadłuba nad powierzchnia wody jest regulowany automatycznie za pomocą niewielkiej lotki na płacie umiezczonym na mieczu. Starsze łodki posiadają również manualnie sterowaną lotkę na płetwie sterowej, ale aktualnie nie jest to używane, ponieważ kąt natarcia płatów w całości można zmieniać przenosząc ciężar ciała wzdłuż osi łódki. Kadłub jachtu najczęściej jest wykonany z włókna węglowego, czasem zdarzają się wyknane z włókna szklanego.

Rozwój klasy
Moth International stał się bardzo pomyślnie przyjętą klasą wodolotową na całym świecie, a wywodzi się z Australii, gdzie jest bardzo popularna. Mistrzostwa Świata IMCA są organizowane najczęściej w Australii i Nowej Zelandii, Stanach Zjednoczonych oraz Europie i Japonii. Dzisiaj jest to jedna z najbardziej rozwijających się klas regatowych na świecie pod względem konstrukcji całego jachtu. O miano najlepszego jachtu walczy wielu producentów, z których najwięksi to Mach2Boats oraz Bladerider - Australia i Chiny, Aardvark Boats - Wielka Brytania, Assassin - Nowa Zelandia. Nowa łódź to wydatek od $13,000 do $17,000

Chapter 200 Graveyard of the Exiled
Three days later, Long Chen walked out of his immortal cave in an exhausted state. He saw that outside the immortal cave, his entire faction had gathered to send him off. And it wasn't just his people, but also Ye Zhiqiu's faction had come as well.
Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and five other core disciples had also come over. They had all expressed their support of Long Chen on that day.
But unfortunately their support hadn't changed the monastery's decision. But in any case, they were still filled with respect for Long Chen.
His strength wasn't necessarily the strongest, but he always dared to resist the rules, dared to confront enemies, and dared to face any hardships without any fear.
"Oh, how lively; did you all come here to send me off?" laughed Long Chen.
"You really are my good brothers, my good sisters. But you guys look a bit too unpresentable. Where are the streamers and ribbons? If you waved those around while cheering my name, that'd definitely be grander."
Everyone saw that Long Chen appeared completely exhausted. They assumed he had begun to feel the pressure of being exiled.
But no one ridiculed him. After all, that was a path of definite death. For him to even dare to choose that path already proved his bravery.
Most amazing of all though was that Long Chen didn't appear to feel the slightest despair or fear. He actually could still joke around with everyone at such a time.
Tang Wan-er walked over to Long Chen. Her tears streamed down before she could even say anything.
Long Chen laughed, "You can't cry in the future. I've already said I'd make anyone who made you cry bleed. Do you want me to stab myself?"
Tang Wan-er wanted to laugh, but she was unable to. A painful feeling filled her heart, but she didn't even know what feeling that was.
She had a mountain of things she wanted to say, but at this moment, she was unable to say anything.
"Don't worry. Who do you think I, Long Chen, am? As a huge scoundrel, I have a sturdy life that will survive any disasters. I'll be fine." Long Chen consoled Tang Wan-er when he saw her continue to cry.
"Stay safe." Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen through her tears.
"I promise, I'll return alive." Long Chen solemnly extended a hand.
"Okay, then I'll trust you. But if you break your promise, I'll hate you for a lifetime."
Tang Wan-er clasped hands with Long Chen. Long Chen's promise calmed her down a greal deal. She knew Long Chen was someone who kept his promises.
Now Qing Yu walked over and gently tidied up his collar. "You have to be careful this time. You can't be negligent or careless at all. Do you understand?"
In front of Qing Yu's older sister-like love, Long Chen's heart soured slightly. But he suppressed his own emotions and nodded.
"Boss, you must definitely return. We'll all go take revenge together." Guo Ran also came up, reluctant to part with him.
Long Chen patted him on the shoulders. "Good brother, I'll definitely return. When I do, we'll properly go settle our debt with them.
"I still have something to tell you. You possess an expert's Dao-heart, and you obviously understand what it truly means to protect something.
"But your talent isn't all that high. So in the future you'll suffer greatly. If you really want to become a true expert, you need to blaze a new cultivation path."
Guo Ran nodded, understanding what Long Chen meant. He possessed no advantage by just cultivating normally. He needed to find an unorthodox method to break through of his current self.
Suddenly the sky darkened and a huge Hawk Eagle flew over, descending to the ground. It was over fifty meters long and gave everyone there an intense pressure. It was a powerful third rank Magical Beast.
There was an Elder standing atop the Hawk Eagle. He said to Long Chen, "The time has arrived. Say your final goodbye to your friends."
Long Chen shook his head and smiled slightly. Jumping atop the Hawk Eagle, he said, "There's no need for farewells. We will see each other again."
Looking at his brothers and sisters, he shouted, "Okay, everyone return and work hard to cultivate. I'm going to have a little stroll."
That Elder patted the Hawk Eagle and it spread its wings, releasing a powerful astral wind as it soared into the sky. It disappeared from people's vision in an instant.
Seeing that figure disappear, everyone said their own farewells and returned to their factions. Now that the gap had been pulled open, if they didn't cultivate as hard as they could, the gap would only grow wider.
Tang Wan-er returned to her immortal cave. Atop the table were countless bottles and jars as well as a piece of paper.
The paper told Tang Wan-er that the name of these medicinal pills was the Tendon Nourishing Pill. It was a medicinal pill for use at the early stage of Tendon Transformation. It would allow spiritual qi to nourish the tendons faster, increasing one's cultivation speed.
She looked from the words on the page to the bottles of medicinal pills. That was the result of Long Chen refining for three days and nights.
Tang Wan-er could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears. Qing Yu walked over and patted her on the shoulders, consoling her.
"Long Chen will definitely return. He refined these medicinal pills for us because he was afraid we wouldn't have enough points to keep up with the others while he's gone. So what you need to do now is to distribute these medicinal pills to everyone. You and Ye Zhiqiu also need to quickly increase your own strength."
Tang Wan-er wiped away her tears and nodded, "Sister Qing Yu, I know. I'll get stronger. I have a debt to settle with those bastards."
Within an Elder's immortal cave, a young disciple was standing before Elder Sun. From his robes, he seemed like a law enforcer, one of Long Chen's senior apprentice-brothers.
"Feng Hai, did you remember everything I told you? First is to bring back Long Chen's spatial ring, and the other thing is to capture his soul in this Soul Locking Pearl. You musn't forget," solemnly warned Elder Sun.
"Disciple understands," that person respectfully bowed.
"Although you are already an expert in the mid Tendon Transformation realm, that doesn't mean anything in the rubble wasteland. There are countless third rank Magical Beasts, and there are even fourth rank Magical Beasts.
"I'll give you two aura concealing pills. Once you take it, as long as you don't intentionally release your aura, no Magical Beasts will be able to sense you.
"Take one on the way there, handle Long Chen, and take another one of the way back. Remember, you can't leak any news of this at all," once more solemnly warned Elder Sun.
"Yes, disciple understands."
"Okay, go. Once you accomplish this, I'll personally help you break through to the late Tendon Transformation realm."
"Many thanks Elder." That person was delighted, hastily bowing once more before leaving.
Seeing that person disappear, Elder Sun smiled sinisterly. Long Chen, just how are you planning on escaping now?
Sitting atop the flying Magical Beast, Long Chen realized they were flying straight north. All kinds of arduous lands passed beneath them. High mountains, thick forests, deep winding gorges…
"Do you have any regrets?" That Elder was the first to open his mouth.
"No. Even if I had to do it again, I'd do it the same way." Long Chen shook his head. He knew that he was also helpless about this.
That Elder ruefully looked at Long Chen. "Young people really have it the best. Looking at you, I'm reminded of myself when I joined the monastery. Haha, sixty years passed in an instant. My sharpness has long since been grinded away."
"Elder, can you help me do something?" Seeing that this Elder was so amicable, he had an idea.
"Hey, hey, we're just chatting. I can't help you cheat." That Elder immediately became on guard.
He thought Long Chen would want him to send him somewhere else. In any case, no one else would know. Once Long Chen returned to the monastery afterwards, his exile would be over.
"Elder has misunderstood my meaning. I don't want you to help me cheat, but after we arrive at the rubble wasteland, can you help me kill a third rank Magical Beast?" asked Long Chen.
"Oh, that's no problem at all," promised that Elder.
"This journey is very far. It will probably take a whole day. You should first rest during this time," he reminded Long Chen.
Long Chen nodded. He really was tired from having refined pills for three days straight.
It wouldn't be good for him to enter that kind of dangerous wasteland in this state. He needed to recover first.
His huge divine ring appeared behind him, beginning to absorb energy. At this point, his divine ring was no longer any secret, so he didn't need to have any misgivings about that.
But that Hawk Eagle was given a fright once Long Chen summoned his divine ring. It only calmed down once the Elder consoled it.
It went without saying that the divine ring's power was amazing. In just six hours, Long Chen's spiritual qi was completely recovered.
When he once more opened his eyes, he saw the scenery around him had completely changed. The ground had leveled out, and occasionally he could see some wild beasts roaming around.
He also saw quite a few vicious Magical Beasts from the air. A huge, fierce tiger with brightly colored fur, a serpent that was even thicker than a water jar, all kinds of Magical Beasts appeared.
Some Magical Beasts let out an angry roar when they saw the Hawk Eagle fly above them. Obviously that was a warning.
Long Chen let out a startled cry at how terrifying these Magical Beasts were. It was no wonder that not one exile had managed to walk back to the monastery from here.
Who knew just how many years these Magical Beasts had lived for. Their auras were many times stronger than Little Snow's.
That was because Little Snow had only just reached the third rank. He couldn't even count as having reached the early stage, but he still possessed such terrifying power.
As for these Magical Beasts that had controlled their domains for many, many years. They had long since reached the mid stage, or some even the late stage. Their power was incomparable.
Let alone Long Chen who was only in the Blood Condensation realm, even a mid Tendon Transformation expert wouldn't necessarily be able to walk out alive.
It was reported that those core disciples that had previously been exiled here had all been in the Tendon Transformation realm. But even so, every single one of them had died here.
But Long Chen had chosen exile because he had no other choice. These countless third rank Magical Beasts would allow him to gather Magical Beast essence blood. It was an excellent place for him to make Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood.
In the past three days, he had not only refined the Tendon Nourishing Pills, but also the medicinal powders required for the Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood. Everything was arranged for him. All he needed was Magical Beast essence blood and he'd be able to make it, allowing him to quickly increase his cultivation base.
That was the reason he had chosen exile. This was the only way for him to quickly increase his cultivation base. Otherwise he would forever be unable to catch up.
At dawn the next day, they arrived at a huge wasteland. Huge rugged stone mountains littered this land. A gloomy sinister scent filled this place.
They had arrived at the rubble wasteland, the graveyard of the exiled.

We've all heard of King Henry VIII and his 6 wives. We've heard of the romance, the scandal, the death and the horror that followed almost all of his marriages. We've also heard about his most famous accomplishment, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth I who ruled over England and Ireland for over 40 years. But did you know that Henry´s first wive, Queen Catherine of Aragon, the mother of Bloody Mary herself, was Spanish?
Spain and England were once the strongest super powers in the known world, competing for fame, glory and power for years and years. The countries fought endlessly over land and religion, often dragging France into conflict as they all flip flopped from one side to the other. The one decision that was made to keep the peace – which ironically ended in utter disaster – was the marriage between the young King Henry VIII and the Princess Catherine of Aragon (of Spain) in 1509. This marriage was to unite the nations and also create a sort of religious stability. Catherine was born in 1485 in Aragon, Spain. She was the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Castilla and her marriage to Henry made both countries extremely powerful. As the story goes, Henry got bored of his marriage with Catherine and broke with the Catholic Church to divorced her and marry Anne Boleyn. Years later in 1516, Catherine's daughter Mary became queen of England and went on to become of the most hated monarchs in history. Earning the name Bloody Mary for the tremendous amount of men and women she had burned at the stake.

Q: adding as integers instead of list elements in R adding as integers instead of list elements in R
I am getting

 [1] 400 800 1200 1600 2000 2400 2800 3200 3600 4000

refine: a little bit more to a more specific scenario,
price buy_sell  qty
100        B  100
100        B  200
90        S  300

I want to make a forth column
price buy_sell  qty net
100        B  100   10000
100        B  200   30000

100        S  400   -37000

A: Note that if a is a list, you want to use double brackets.  Otherwise you are getting back a list of size one, where the first element has the values you are looking for
Try:
 total <- cumsum(a[[5]])

a <- list()
a[[5]] <- rep(400, 10)

cumsum(a[[5]])
#  [1]  400  800 1200 1600 2000 2400 2800 3200 3600 4000

Compare:

Zinedine Zidane resigns as Real Madrid manager
Olomo Olomo Thursday, May 27, 2021 0
Zinedine Zidane has decided to resign as Real Madrid coach, sources have said.
The decision was made on Wednesday morning, sources said, after Zidane had asked the club for a few days to consider his future.
On Wednesday, he confirmed the move to Madrid's board, and then the squad.
Real beat Villarreal 2-1 in their final game of the La Liga season on Saturday, but that wasn't enough to overtake rivals Atletico Madrid, who secured a 2-1 comeback win at Real Valladolid to clinch the trophy.
Speaking after that match, Zidane said he was "p---ed off" at failing to retain the title and would hold talks with the club "in the next few days" to determine the way forward.
ESPN reported last week that Real wanted Zidane to see out his contract until 2022 but were already making plans for his departure, with Massimiliano Allegri and club legend Raul being considered as replacements.
Fabrizo Romano was first to report Zidane's resignation Wednesday.
In recent months, Zidane had refused to commit to remaining in the job next season, leading to widespread speculation that he was planning to leave.
You might think I walk away from responsibility or leave when things get complicated, but no, never, Zidane said on May 15 when pushed on his future.
What I do is give everything, to the end, and then the moment comes to change... I don't leave because it's easy. There are moments when you have to stay, and others when you have to go.
Zidane later dismissed reports that he had already informed his players of his intention to quit, calling those reports "a lie."
How am I going to say to the players that I'm leaving now? We're fighting for the league, and I say that I'm going? Why would I say that? At the end of the season we'll see what happens, he said after Madrid's 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on May 16 in their penultimate La Liga fixture.
However, sources told ESPN that the feeling among the squad was that Zidane was likely to depart, with talks planned with the club at the end of the season.
Zidane, 48, returned to the Real Madrid job in 2019, having previously been in charge from 2016 to 2018.
Before that, he spent five years at the club as a player, worked as an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti, and coached B-team Castilla before being offered the first-team job in January 2016.
He won an unprecedented three consecutive Champions League trophies in 2016, 2017 and 2018, as well as the club's first La Liga title in five years in 2017.
Zidane's laid-back style, with a focus on man-management, proved popular with the players, although some at the club doubted his tactical acumen.
He first resigned in May 2018, saying he believed the squad would benefit from a change of coach.
Brief, tumultuous reigns for Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari followed, before Zidane agreed to return in March 2019.
An atypical 2019-20 season -- with a three-month La Liga hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic -- ended in triumph with another league title win after Zidane's side won 10 of their final 11 games post-lockdown.
Financial restrictions saw the club decide not to spend on new signings last summer, and the start to this campaign proved more difficult both domestically and in Europe.
In La Liga, Madrid suffered an embarrassing 1-0 loss to newly promoted Cadiz in October, and were beaten 4-1 by Valencia and 2-1 at home to Alaves in November.
In Europe, the team narrowly avoided being eliminated from the Champions League group stage for the first time in Real Madrid's history.
There were questions over Zidane's team selection and rotation policy as well as his suitability for managing the transition from a group of experienced winners to a new generation of players.
In January, the former France international's job was at risk after being knocked out of the Spanish Supercopa and Copa del Rey, while a La Liga defeat to Levante left them 10 points behind leaders Atletico.
However a new-year surge saw the team recover to go 18 league games unbeaten.
Madrid's progression to the Champions League semifinals -- where they were knocked out by Chelsea -- was seen as creditable, given the limitations of the squad and the number of injuries they had faced throughout the season.
Zidane had never previously gone a full season in charge without landing any silverware, but Atletico's last-day La Liga triumph on Saturday meant he ended the 2020-21 campaign empty-handed.

Q: Cannot implicitly convert type 'ProductOrderDto' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List
  public class ProductOrder
    {

        public int PId { get; set; }
        public Product Product { get; set; }

        public int OId { get; set; }
        public Order Order { get; set; }
    }

 public class ProductOrderDto
    {
        public IEnumerable<Product> Products { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<Order> Orders { get; set; }
    }

public class EfProductOrderDal : EfEntityRepositoryBase<ProductOrderDto, EtnContext>, IProductOrderDal
    {
        public List<ProductOrderDto> GetProductOrderDetails()
        {
            using (EtnContext context = new EtnContext())
            {
                var model = new ProductOrderDto();

                model.Products = context.Products.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Order).ToList();

                model.Orders = context.Orders.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Product).ToList();

                return model;
            }
        }
    }

enter image description here
i would like to perform data insertion and data display of the tables that i relate to many to many, but i am receiving such a mistake

A:
I would like to perform data insertion and data display of the tables
that i relate to many to many, but i am receiving such a mistake.

Well, based on your scenario you might want to either return ProductOrderDto which would containing List of Products and Orders or you would like to return List of ProductOrderDto with collection of Products and Orders. So here are the both way how you could implement those:
Return Collection Of ProductOrderDto:
public List<ProductOrderDto> GetProductOrderDetails()
        {
            using (EtnContext context = new EtnContext())
            {
                //As your method signature is List<ProductOrderDto> thus, define your list type
                var model = new List<ProductOrderDto>();
                //Get each collection of products and Orders
                var products = context.Products.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Order).ToList();
                var orders = context.Orders.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Product).ToList();

                //Bind products and Orders Into List
                model.Add(products);
                model.Add(orders);

               // Now You can return your list
                return model;
            }
        }

Explanation: As you have defined your method return type List so you eventually require to return of type list as well. But you have defined single instance as new ProductOrderDto(); Thus, your return type doesn't match. Therefore, if you would like to assign list of Products and Orders Collection, you ought to create new List() and then finally, you can assign collection into it by  model.Add. . You can get more details in our official document here.
Alternative Way:
public List<ProductOrderDto> GetProductOrderDetails()
        {
            using (EtnContext context = new EtnContext())
            {
                var model = new List<ProductOrderDto>();

                model.Add(context.Products.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Order).ToList());
                model.Add(context.Orders.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Product).ToList());
                return model;
            }
        }

Return Single ProductOrderDto:
 public ProductOrderDto GetProductOrderDetails()
        {
            using (EtnContext context = new EtnContext())
            {
                var model = new ProductOrderDto();

                model.Products = context.Products.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Order).ToList();
                model.Orders  = context.Orders.Include(i => i.ProductOrders).ThenInclude(i => i.Product).ToList();
                return model;
            }
        }

Note:  As your ProductOrderDto has the type of IEnumerable and IEnumerable Orders so when you would return ProductOrderDto itself it would be containing the both product and Order collection so that you can directly assign list to your ProductOrderDto object which is Products and Orders.
If you would like to invest few more time on above concept you could have a look on official document here.

Q: How to get Maven to produce two jars for the same project? I'm fearing the answer is likely going to be "split the project" but here goes...
I have a project where I need to now output a version of the jar file without a log4j.xml configuration. I was thinking it would be nice if I could have dual outputs: one jar with log4j.xml and a duplicate jar without log4j.xml. I'd hate to split the project for just one file. I've tried the Assembly plugin but I don't think I've figured out the correct configuration for that yet.

A: The best solution in this relationship is not to use profiles cause profiles force you to run your build a second time with the activated profile which will not work if you like to use release plugin etc. The simplest solution is to use a classifier like this:
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>second-jar</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>jar</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <classifier>without</classifier>
              <excludes>
                <exclude>**/log4j*</exclude>
              </excludes>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

The default bound maven-jar-plugin which is bound to the package phase will create the jar which contains the log4j.xml file and the above will create the jar file without the log4j.xml file which can be accessed by using the classifier without or however you name it.
This has the advantage that you simple can create both jar's with a single call of maven like:
mvn clean package

Also they will be attached to the project and will be deployed to the appropriate repository.

A: Yes, you can create multiple JARs from a single Maven project. An artifact's classifier can be used to distinguish them.
Maven artifacts are made up of:

*

*groupId

*artifactId

*version

*classifier

By default the classifier is empty, but you can set it to 'nolog4j' when using the maven-assembly-plugin to exclude the log4j.xml file.

A: I would use profiles. Create a default profile and a profile without log4j.xml. Invoke mvn package && mvn package -P otherprofile.

A: You can configure the maven jar plugin on a second Profile like this:
<profiles>
 <profile>
  <id>nolog4j<id>
   <build>
    <plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>2.4</version>
     <configuration>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>log4j.xml</exclude>
      </excludes>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
 </build>
</profile>
</profiles>

Then you can run mvn package -P nolog4j and it should create the same jar but without the log4j.xml file ( adjust the exclude tag to the actual files path)

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate! We had a great time here at the Zanetti household – lots of fun and good times. Big Tone' always chooses a theme for his gift giving to me–centered around a color. One year it was red, and I received stunning rubies. But he goes all out with red gum, candy, a book with a red cover, and towels. Always two towels.
To be honest, I figure Tony thinks this will keep me from picking out all the M&M's from his trail mix in his man cave. I like that he's a dreamer, because there's no way.
I hear a different drummer.
But that's okay. I really do hear the beat differently and have given up on trying to match anybody else's moves. I just move and have fun. Frankly, and just between us here on the blog, I'm not entirely sure everybody else is feeling the right beat. Maybe my drummer has nailed it.
So for 2014, I hope you follow your own drummer whether or not anybody else can hear him. That old saying, 'dance like nobody is watching' is a good way to live. Dance your heart out this coming year!
Very good comments. Ejoyed it very mush.
Theme Christmas is a brilliant idea! After so many Christmas's together and and hubby and I tend to buy whatever we want/need regardless throughout the year. By time the holiday comes we are at a loss. May have to steal this one for next year!! And I'm as hopeless as you at dancing.
Great post. Loved your sisters description of your dancing.
Your theme is just great. To do it with children too and you might have just a great fun too. Will have to mentioned it to my daughter.
I wish you , you family and all your reader a great, safe an great health for 2014.
That is amazing! You are married and still in love, follow your own drummer and have a swell guy to go dancing with. Your life sounds like a fairey tale. I wish that never changes for you.
Do you know how lucky you are?
Oh I love that. The whole story put a smile on my face. Before I married my husband could not do enough for me. But when I do came around he stopped all gifts. So to hear such a wonderful story brings me joy.
Love the M&M girl. About the dancing…you go, girl! I've always said: If you don't like what you see, don't look! Happiest of New Years to you and Tony. Sounds like you two really got something going!


I am so glad you stopped by my blog today!
My name is Jerusha, and I like to write. When I was ten years old, I had a temper. I would get so angry about everything on earth. One day, after a particularly difficult scream fest, my mother handed me a pencil and a piece of paper and told me to write about it. It was the best thing she ever could have done. As I wrote furiously, the pages curled up around me. I put all of my frustrations about life onto the pages of notebooks in the forms of poetry, letters and sometimes short stories. Eventually, the paper stopped curling. And when I was angry, frustrated or hurt – or just needed to process some feelings, I'd grab a pen and a notebook.
Some things never change. I still like to process my thoughts in the form of writing. I liked writing so much I decided to become a journalist. I went to university and completed my degrees, but then love happened. (Most people would say life happens, but usually life and love go hand in hand). I am married to a wonderful man named Stephen. Together we have two beautiful boys, who both have autism. While things at home can often be challenging, they make life so rich and filled with joy. But it also means that a traditional journalism career just won't work for my family.
Recently I was diagnosed with an untreatable, disfiguring disease called Lipedema. On top of having two special needs children, it seemed like I was drowning in desperation. So I started to write again. I started to share my thoughts and my heart and God took the rest from there. Eventually I realized His plan for my writing was to minister to others through my blog and point them to Him.
So I am here to share my story. A story filled with brokenness and suffering, but resurrected with the hope of life in Christ. My hope is that my writing will be fresh and real and inspire you in some way. My wish is that sharing my story with you will also bring you hope and comfort.

Property performance indices are a key analytical tool for the understanding and quantitative analysis of property markets. Through the expansion of the Investment Property Databank they now exist for a wide range of countries, enabling practitioners and researchers to perform comparative analyses as well as in depth studies of single markets based on real property performance data. The German Property Index was established in 1996. Now reaching a ten year time series the original index is still in a beginning stage relative to indices for other major property markets, such as the UK. This paper introduces a new time series from 1989 through 1995 for different use types, extending the German Property Index to a full property cycle from 1989 through 2005. The additional time series, like the original index, comprises of appraisal-based annual performance data from institutional property investors. The index now also provides useful insight into the performance of property investments during the initial upturn of the German economy following reunification.

Kavacham Movie Review
Friday,December07th,2018, 10:24 AM
Producer : Naveen Chowdary Sontineni
Director : SreenivasMamilla
Music Director : Thaman
Cinematographer : Chota K. Naidu
Starring : Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Kajal Aggarwal, Mehreen Kaur Pirzada
Being a son of a producer, it became easy for Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas to become a hero with 'AlluduSeenu' movie. But the actor has been waiting to score a decent hit. Even his previous movie 'Saakshyam' ended up as a biggest disaster at the box office and now Bellamkonda hero is trying his hand in a cop drama 'Kavacham'.
The hero played the role of a Police Officer for the first time in his career. Kajal Aggarwal and Mehreen Pirzada romanced Bellamkonda in this movie. Srinivas Mamilla marked his directorial debut with this film which got released today on December 7th. SS Thaman scored music for this film. Here is the review of the movie.
Story: Vijay (Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas) works as a Police Officer in Vizag. He falls in love with Kajal Aggarwal who works in a coffee shop. When everything is going well Samyuktha (Mehreen Pirzada) enters into his life. Vijay saves her from some goons.
The next day, Vijay's mother met with an accident and to save her Vijay needs money. Samyuktha decides to help him and suggests him to kidnap her and demand money from her family. With nothing else to do, he accepts to this plan and demands 50 lakhs from Samyuktha's family. Later he gets to know that the real Samyuktha is Kajal Aggarwal who he fell in love with at the coffee shop. Who is the real Samyuktha? what happens to her? How Vijay solves this forms the rest of the story.
Performances: Bellamkonda Sreenivas sure is trying to show an improvement in his acting skills with each movie. The film showcases the fact that Bellamkonda Sreenivas has worked hard to deliver a good performance. It would have been better if he had worked more on the dialogue delivery as well.
Kajal Aggarwal is an absolute stunner. Her beauty is one of the major highlights in the film. Mehreen looked pretty and promising in the movie. She also delivered an impressive performance. Neil Nitin Mukesh never fails to surprise the audience with his performance and he has delivered another attracting performance again in the movie.
Harish Uttam and Harshvardhan Rane once again proved that they are promising actors by delivering the decent performances. Mukesh Rishi and Kalyani Natarajan are perfect for their roles. The rest of the cast made their presence felt.
Technical Aspects: The production values by Vamsadhara Creations are rich. The producers have put in bulk amounts for the movie. The music by SS Thaman is like a biggest asset. Though the songs are average, his background music is really impressive.
Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is good and the visuals are pretty decent. The editing is just average. The runtime is bearable. It is evident that the movie is the debut of the director. However, he tried to maintain a constant pace of narration but failed. There are some visible flaws in the film which can be ignored as the director is a debutant.
Verdict: Despite having an interesting story with some intriguing twists, the director actually failed to impress the audience with the film. The slow narration is the major setback in the film.
The first half is filled with some unnecessary comedy scenes and the boring love track. The interval bang creates a big twist. The second half also failed to engage the audience.
Overall, the performances are good and 'Kavacham' has a has some solid twists in the story but the director's poor execution made the film boring to watch.
