Q: What is the use of resistors in series with BJTs in a push pull amplifier configuration? If you make an internet search for "Push pull BJT amplifier" you will find many different variants of the following schematics:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
These three configurations are the ones I am interesting in understanding better. First, I see that this circuit is often labelled as amplifier but since the gain appears to be in the best case equal to 1 it looks to me more like a current amplifier perhaps rather than a voltage one.
Suppose that V_signal is a sinusoidal 1 Vpp (maybe even lower 100 mVpp) signal at a given frequency. My main question is as follows:

*

*Referring to configuration A, while I understand the role of the diodes and R1 and R2 in the biasing of the BJTs to avoid crossover distorsion, I do not understand what is the role of R3 and R4 which are in series to the BJTs. My first thought is that they should limit the current through the load but in the simulations the circuit works fine even without them so I am a bit confused on their use and how to size them.

As a sidequestion, what are the advantages/disadvantages of configurations B and/or C over A? I can see how C is more advantageos in that it does not need a double side power supply and can work straight from 12 V but I cannot understand why I should use B which is using an additional capacitor apparently for the same result as A and C.

Edit: I noted the circuit is not easy to visualize, so I've just added 3 screenshots (Vcc=12V, Vee=-12V)

A: You are correct that the circuit has a voltage gain of 1, and that the diodes are to minimize crossover distortion.  The idea is that the diode voltage is the same as the base-emitter voltage of the transistors, so that both transistors remain biased in the "on" condition - they are both conducting.  This means that there is always a theoretical current from the positive rail to the negative rail, through the pair of output transistors, which is wasted power and is dissipated as heat in the transistors and the series resistors.
With no series resistors, all of this power must be dissipated in the transistors.  Consider what happens when the circuit starts to drive a load.  The transistors start to heat up, and the base-emitter drop starts to decrease to a value lower than in the relatively cool diodes. This causes the current through the two transistors to increase - further increasing heat by further decreasing the base-emitter drop and increasing the through-current.  So in general, make the series resistors as large as you can consistent with your output load characteristics.
As to the difference in circuit "A" and "C" from "B," think about the fact that the phase shift due to the capacitance of the diodes and transistors will not be identical.  This is not going to be noticed at low frequencies, but if you crank up the frequency on your simulation, you will see if the mismatch is pronounced enough to cause any issues.  If there is a problem, you can overcome some of the effect at high frequency from the diodes by using two large capacitors as shown in "B."

A: Configuration A .
This circuit is powered for a symmetrical supply, hence the output capacitor is not needed. Capacitor here only removes any residual DC-offset present at the BJT's emitters and together with the load resistance this output capacitor form a high pass filter with a corner frequency \$F_C = \frac{1}{2 \pi C_O R_L}\$.
Configuration C.
This time the circuit is powered for a single supply. So to be able to get a negative voltage at the load ("pure" AC signal) and fully "open" the PNP transistor we use a "big" output capacitor to serve as an additional DC voltage source.
Without the input signal voltage at the NPN's base is equal to 6.6V and 5.4V at for PNP base. The output capacitor is charged to 6V and the input cap is also charged to 6V. Now let us apply the input signal (1Vpp = peak to peak) into the circuit.
The input signal will "modulates" the DC voltage and currents in the circuit in the "rhythm" of AC input voltage.
During the positive half-cycle, input DC voltage will rise from 10V to 12V and back to 10V in the "rhythm" of AC input voltage.
The NPN base becomes more positive, D1 and R1 current decreases, but D2 and R2 current increasing. The NPN base current comes from 12V supply and ii is source into NPN base via R1 resistor.
For negative half-cycle, we have a very similar situation but this time PNP base becomes more negative (any voltage lower than 5.4V at PNP base), D2 and R2 currents decreases but R1 and D1 current increases.
And an important node hers is that as you can see Vin voltage source don't provide any current for NPN/PNP transistor. The base current is coming from R1 and R2.
Vin only provides a current to D2 and R2 for positive half-cycle. And to D1, R1 for negative half-cycle.
Or in short:

For positive half-cycles, the upper NPN transistor delivers current to the load by charging the output capacitor. And for negative half-cycles, the lower PNP transistor discharge capacitor. And this is why we have a negative voltage at the load.
Configuration B.
The same circuit as case A. The only defenses here is that now the output transistors are now "driven directly".
And I don't see a point of having such big resistors value at the collector.
They only limit output power. Instead, we move these resistors into transistor emitters. Therefore this small resistors at the emitter will help us set the DC quiescent current and provide thermal bias stability.


Friendly staff who give great customer service.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I hope your truck gets fixed so when we move out we can take advantage of it (one of the reasons I chose your facility over others). It was broken for our move in day, and also the main elevator was broken and unusable as well.
The staff was great. They did a nice job of explaining the facility and all paperwork. The facility is convenient to use and I would recommend to others.

The Commission proposes a new European agenda for culture, which attempts to respond to the challenges of globalisation. This new strategy aims to intensify cultural cooperation in the European Union (EU), focusing on a series of concrete proposals to achieve a set of common objectives.
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 10 May 2007 on a European agenda for culture in a globalizing world [COM(2007) 242 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
The cultural sector plays a key role in terms of its numerous social, economic and political implications. Consequently, culture has a fundamental part in the process of European integration.
On the basis of these considerations, and in light of the results of an online consultation of stakeholders in the cultural sector, the Commission proposes a new European agenda for culture that focuses on a limited number of objectives. To work towards these objectives, the Commission also suggests new mechanisms for cooperation with and among European Union (EU) countries, other levels of governance and civil society.
The objectives of the new European agenda for culture are built around three priorities:
Cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue
Openness and exchanges between different cultures should be promoted. Accordingly, the new agenda for culture seeks to encourage:
mobility of artists and workers in the cultural sector and the circulation of all forms of artistic expression;
strengthening intercultural competences and intercultural dialogue, by developing capacities included among the key competences for lifelong learning, such as cultural awareness and expression, and communication in foreign languages.
Stimulating creativity within the framework of the Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs
Cultural industries contribute to the dynamism of the European economy and to EU competitiveness. By way of example, the cultural sector employs nearly five million people in the EU. In this respect, the Commission proposes the following objectives:
promoting creativity in education and incorporating this dimension into the lifelong learning measures;
strengthening the organisational capacities of the cultural sector, by focusing on entrepreneurship and the training of the cultural sector in managerial competences (innovative sources of financing, European dimension of commercial activities, etc.);
developing effective partnerships between the cultural sector and other sectors (ICTs, research, tourism, social partners, etc.) to reinforce the impact of investments in culture.
Culture as a vital element in international relations
In line with the Unesco Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, ratified by the EU and most of its countries, the new agenda for culture proposes to reinforce the cultural dimension as a vital element of EU external relations. This priority is accompanied by a number of measures to:
pursue political dialogue in the field of culture and promote cultural exchanges between the EU and non-EU countries;
promote access to global markets for cultural goods and services from developing countries through agreements that grant preferential treatment or trade-related assistance measures;
build on external relations to set up financial and technical support (preservation of cultural heritage, promotion of cultural activities across the world);
ensure that all projects funded by the EU take account of local culture;
step up EU involvement in the work of international organisations active in the field of culture and in the United Nations 'Alliance of Civilisations' process.
The Commission seeks to establish a structured dialogue with the cultural sector to achieve these objectives. This dialogue would include all stakeholders, from artists and creators to cultural industries. To this end, the Commission recommends:
identifying all actors in the cultural sector;
organising a "Cultural Forum" that brings together all these stakeholders;
representing at European level the views of stakeholders in this sector;
developing social dialogue for social partners in the cultural sector;
bringing a cultural dimension to European public debates by using, in particular, the permanent representations of the Commission.
This new strategy for culture and all the measures proposed depend on closer cooperation between the EU and its countries through the open method of coordination (OMC) mechanism. It also aims to develop a structured dialogue with the cultural sector.
The new European agenda for culture is complemented by other actions related to the cultural sector, such as the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
The cultural sector has already been the subject of several European level actions to promote culture, such as the "Culture", "Europe for Citizens", and MEDIA programmes.
RELATED ACTS
Commission Report to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 19 July 2010 on the implementation of the European Agenda for Culture [COM(2010) 390 final – Not published in the Official Journal]. This report presents the progress made on the objectives of the European agenda for culture both at the European and national level, as well as the first experiences with the new working methods.
The promotion of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue has involved a variety of issues and actions, such as:
the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, which initiated new national policies and structures and a political agreement at EU level;
the 2008 Commission communication on multilingualism, which aims at transferring linguistic diversity into an asset;
access to culture via digitisation, to which end Europeana was launched in 2008, and through a proposed European Heritage Label.
To promote culture as a catalyst for creativity, several initiatives have been taken, such as:
the 2009 European Year of Creativity and Innovation, which examined how culture may generate economic and social innovation;
studies on the impact of culture on creativity, on entrepreneurship in cultural and creative industries and on the contribution of culture to local and regional development;
the 2010 Green Paper on the unlocking of the potential of cultural and creative industries.
The promotion of culture in EU external relations has received increased impetus since the adoption of the agenda and has included:
a new Euromed strategy on culture, which is currently under preparation;
important efforts to rehabilitate cultural heritage in EU candidate countries, including through the Instrument of Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) civil society facility;
a Eastern Partnership Culture Programme, which is to be launched in 2010;
a process to strengthen the role of culture in development policies, which was launched in 2009;
the MEDIA Mundus programme (2011-13), which will succeed the preparatory action MEDIA International.
The first experiences of the OMC indicate that, in general, it is an effective tool for cooperating in the cultural field. However, it has not been used for long enough to draw any substantial conclusions. For the future, cooperation will have to be reinforced, with adapted working methods. The structured dialogue in the cultural sector is taking place through thematic platforms of European associations and the European Culture Forum. The thematic platforms have been especially beneficial for intensifying dialogue within the sector. Nevertheless, further efforts need to be made to achieve more focused dialogue with civil society in future.

Most diseases can be expounded as some form that prohibits an organism from functioning effectively in its environment. Diseases can either be caused through Microorganisms, labeling it as a contagious disease or through a transmitted, nutritional, habitat or physiological impairment which would place it in the category of a non-transmissible malady. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Childbed fever struck women all over Europe and America. Although Childbed fever was considered an enigma, many Doctors like Ignaz Semmelweis and Oliver Wendell Holmes dedicated their time using the Scientific method to tackle this illness and figure out why so many young women were dying from this disease.
During the early nineteenth century, the practice of medical advances had overseen a drastic change. A vast amount of hospitals was built in vast cities. Therefore, with the hospitals came a plethora of Doctors and new medical students ready to train. On the contrary, with the new medical students attending births, thousands of young women began to suffer an die from Childbed fever. Typically, the symptoms began shortly after a woman had given birth or experienced a miscarriage (Lane, Blum, & Fee, 2010). In addition, symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, and debility caused acute pains. However, even though treatments like bloodletting was considered a therapy option, the disease progressed expeditiously and often became fatal (2010).
Oliver Holmes was exceptional, born into a family who had distinguished themselves in literature and medicine. Although Holmes main focus was literature, he went to study at influential schools in Paris and graduated from Harvard in 1843. Holmes sustained a small practice for twelve years, an found a fancy in research and teaching new medical students (2010). After hearing of the death of a physician who died after performing a postmortem on a woman who died from Childbed fever, Holmes began to research and investigate. For medical review in after reading "The contagiousness of Puerperal fever" in front of the Boston Society Medical in 1843, which was renamed as "Puerperal Fever, as a pestilence" in 1855: Holmes argued that physicians with unwashed hands were the cause of the transferring of Childbed Fever.
Similarly, a few years later Ignaz Semmelweis graduated from the medical university in Vienna, in 1846, Semmelweis was sent to Vienna General Maternity hospital as the head doctor of Division 1 (2010). Semmelweis noticed that in division 1 459 women died from Childbed fever. Semmelweis became obsessed with trying to figure out the cause of the disease and a way to preclude it (Bozzone & Green, 2014). Semmelweis kept anecdotal information: women who gave birth in division 2 and at home hardly contracted the fatal disease. Using the scientific method, Semmelweis observed possible causes he could cross out possibilities, like birth positions, miasma, and thinking the male students were too rough. However, nothing changed. In 1847 he investigated the death of a friend and fellow physician and found the same pus, putrefied tissue, and other abnormalities found in the "Cadavers" of the women who died from Childbed fever (2014). It was then that Semmelweis concluded that the corpse carried cadaverous particles that caused the disease. Semmelweis also concluded that those women who died had those same particles in their bodies, only doctors and medical students were doing autopsies, thus the transferring of the disease was from physician to patient. In addition, sterilization of equipment and latex gloves were not a part of the medical mandatory necessities in the 1840s (2014).
Like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Semmelweis had become the focus of a ferocious power struggle within the Vienna medical faculty, and his work became the subject of a resentful argument among European obstetricians (Lane, Blum, & Fee, 2010). Both Semmelweis and Holmes's arguments ran directly against the disease theories of the time, that maladies were due to "miasmas" or "bad air," or to the balance of humors within a patient's body or environment (2010). Holmes was continuously bombarded by the leading Philadelphia obstetrician, Charles D. Meigs, who derided his oppositions as the "jejeune and fizzenless dreamings" of a sophomoric writer and declared that any practitioner who met with epidemic cases of puerperal fever was simply just not lucky (2010).
Universal precautions are now mandatory when it comes to anything medical. Unlike the mid-nineteenth century, practicing hand hygiene is a simple yet productive way to obstruct illnesses. Washing your hands can halt the unfurl of microorganisms, including germs that are resistant to medications and are becoming a difficult task to treat. More times than not, healthcare providers wash their hands less than they should, even with the signs all over the place, especially if they are seasoned physicians. On any given day, a patient can have an infection from the healthcare facility they went to.
Most diseases can be expounded as some form that prohibits an organism from functioning effectively in its environment. Diseases can either be caused through Microorganisms, labeling it as a contagious disease or through a transmitted, nutritional, habitat or physiological impairment which would place it in the category of a non-transmissible malady. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Childbed fever struck women all over Europe and America. Although Childbed fever was considered an enigma, many Doctors like Ignaz Semmelweis and Oliver Wendell Holmes dedicated their time using the Scientific method to tackle this illness. As the saying goes, use your hands to make some bubbles to kill those troubles.

Pueblo pummeled, flash floods strand drivers
by: Matt Meister
Posted: Jul 2, 2019 / 09:31 AM MDT / Updated: Jul 2, 2019 / 02:16 PM MDT
PUEBLO, Colo. — Slow-moving thunderstorms with heavy rain moved from Cañon City east across Pueblo on Monday, causing a number of problems along the way.
Two people were injured by separate lightning strikes in Cañon City. A man on the south end of town was struck by lightning and taken to a hospital by ambulance. An 11-year-old girl was struck by lightning downtown and was also rushed to a hospital. The injuries were not expected to be life-threatening.
The storm continued east from Cañon City across eastern Fremont County, dropping more than an inch of rain in several areas. The National Weather Service received a report of 1.43″ in about 40 minutes in Penrose.
As the cell entered Pueblo, another storm moved up from the south and collided into the original cell, helping to increase the rain rates. At the same time, an outflow boundary from an earlier storm in El Paso County ran into the cluster and helped elongate the heavy rain across the south side of town.
Rhonda Gasparetti took this photo of several flooded intersections in downtown Pueblo Monday, July 1, 2019.
As is typically the case with thunderstorms, the impacts and rain amounts vary widely over some pretty small areas.
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard weather observers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation in their local communities. These reports tell the story of Monday's rain in Pueblo. Note the central and southern part of the city received more than an inch in several locations. Much of this fell in about 40 minutes.
CoCoRaHS reports for Monday, July 1. CoCoRaHS reports are submitted each morning at 7am. cocorahs.org
Cars were stranded in high water at 8th and Reading, and more than two feet of water covered the intersection at City Center Drive and Santa Fe Avenue. Strong wind gusts in excess of 60 mph also knocked down a number of trees (6″ to 12″ in diameter) at the courthouse in the downtown area. Plenty of small hail with the storms obliterated yards and gardens in the area.
More heavy rain producing storms are in the forecast for Tuesday, although the atmosphere should dry out as we move toward the Independence Day holiday.

'Key & Peele' to End its Comedy Central Run After This Season (Exclusive)
"It was time for us to explore other things, together and apart," Keegan-Michael Key tells TheWrap
Steve Pond | July 25, 2015 @ 10:45 AM
AWARDS BEAT
The current season of "Key & Peele," the Comedy Central series that received multiple Emmy nominations earlier this month, will be the series' last, co-creator and star Keegan-Michael Key told TheWrap on Friday.
"This is our final season – and it's not because of Comedy Central, it's us," said Key. "It was just time for us to explore other things, together and apart. I compare it to Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. We might make a movie and then do our own thing for three years and then come back and do another movie.
"I'm thinking we could do that every three years – take a year, go bang out a movie. That's the plan right now."

The fifth season of the sketch comedy series began on July 8 and will run into September. All of its episodes, Key said, have already been filmed.
Key and Jordan Peele first worked together during six seasons on "MadTV," with "Key & Peele" launching in January, 2012. The series spawned such viral hits as Luther, the "anger translator" for President Obama.
The show won a Peabody Award in 2013, with a citation that noted, "They tackle racially charged issues and ideas like no one else on television … They break new ground even as they lay claim to all of comedy's traditions."

Their shows received one Emmy nomination in 2013, four in 2014 and eight this year, including Outstanding Variety Sketch Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Key.
In an interview for an upcoming edition of TheWrap's Emmy magazine, Key said he and Peele have been keeping quiet about the their show ending its run, "but Jordan and I were talking yesterday, and we decided it's probably a good time to let people know."
They recently shot the comedy "Keanu," co-written by Peele and directed by frequent "Key & Peele" director Peter Atencio. In the coming months, said Key, he will act in a film in New York, while Peele will direct a horror film that he has written.
"There will be Key & Peele productions coming up," he said. "We're doing the reboot of 'Police Academy,' and there's a TV show in the works that me might do for Comedy Central. There's lots of stuff we have cooking up."
33 Emmy Contenders Answer: Who Deserves an Emmy And Why? (Photos)
Kris Connor; Andrew Stiles; Dan Busta for TheWrap
Keri Russell ("The Americans")
"Oh, Matthew Rhys, for sure. For sure! I mean, he's so fucking good! I always say, and it's so true, that there's that term in cycling when you draft someone. Like, I'm just drafting, man. You get out there and I'm like, 'Thank God I get to work with him today.' He just elevates everything… And he's also not a tortured person that's tough to work with. He's just easy. It's fun."

Jussie Smollett ("Empire")
"If I couldn't vote for anybody [on my show], if I couldn't vote for Taraji [P. Henson], if I couldn't vote for "Empire," if I couldn't vote Terrence [Howard]... Viola Davis and Robin Wright. I think that they're so phenomenal."

Dan Busta for TheWrap
Gillian Jacobs ("Girls")
"The obvious answer is I would vote for Alex Karpovsky as Ray [Ploshansky], who is perhaps my favorite character on the show. Then, I would say Becky Ann Baker as Hannah's mother. I would also have to give a nod to Zach Quinto as Ace."

Jesse Lee Soffer ("Chicago P.D.")
"Elias Koteas has done some phenomenal stuff and is definitely deserving of an award. Sophia Bush has done some great stuff at the end of the season with her character dealing with Nadia's death. And obviously Jason Beghe, our fearless leader. And he is truly a fearless leader. He's always so strong that he deserves an Emmy, absolutely."

Anna Faris ("Mom")
"Chuck Lorre is my answer. He is so brilliant. He's truly a genius. I've never worked with somebody whose instincts are so incredible. He sees the macro and the micro. It's really thrilling to watch. Chuck Lorre deserves a gazillion Emmys. And Mimi Kennedy [Marjorie], too."

Mike O'Malley ("Survivor's Remorse")
"Tichina Arnold is portraying a very unique mother on this show. She has to be firm, yet affectionate. Very tender and maternal, yet forceful. Balancing those things constantly, while also tackling certain material fearlessly, has been pretty amazing to watch. She's a fearless actress."

Sophia Bush ("Chicago P.D.")
"I think everyone is doing such great work. Brian Geraghty, Jesse Soffer, Jason Beghe, all of the guys, really… I feel the same way about Elias. I think Elias Koteas is one of the great gifts to our group of actors. He's so talented, and I really have so much fun in big scenes just watching him work."

Matt Czuchry ("The Good Wife")

Téa Leoni ("Madam Secretary")
"I would really have to push for Tim [Daly] in that one. It's a bit of a groundbreaking role, but he's managed to make it work. I wonder if people would be willing, in a way, to accept and be able to rally behind this character, the man alongside a very powerful woman. This is the most modern man we've seen. In the wrong hands, it could be rejected and that would be tragic. Tim has made Henry [McCord] graceful and hot."

Murray Bartlett ("Looking")
"That's a tough one because I love everybody. But I just adore Lauren Weedman and the character of Doris and I feel that in Season 2, she really had a chance to shine and I think she absolutely did. Her performance was stellar. I'd go for her."
Also Read: Murray Bartlett Mourns HBO's 'Looking' and 5 Other Emmy Contender Quickies
Sam Richardson ("Veep")
"Kevin Dunn was really brilliant this season as Ben Caffrey. He plays with so many levels. He's a mess. He's a pill-popping, drunkard mess who's also in charge of the key staff of a president… And he has some of the best insult deliveries on the show."
Also Read: 'Veep's' Sam Richardson on Working With His Heroes and 5 Other Emmy Contender Quickies
Abigail Spencer ("Rectify")
"I think the show, in general, because it's such a collaboration and Ray McKinnon deserves an Emmy. He writes, he directs, he edits, he does everything so I would love to see him win an Emmy. I know that's not an actor-focused answer, but he is an actor and I feel like he's the third scene partner in every scene."
Also Read: 'Rectify' Star Abigail Spencer Discovers She's a Binge-Watcher and 6 More Emmy Contender Quickies
Finn Wittrock ("American Horror Story")
"There's a lot of talent all over the cast, but I think Sarah Paulson's challenge was greater than anybody's, having to be two people at once [the conjoined Bette and Dot]. It's a very hard, laborious, technical, tedious process… and she was a real pro throughout all of it. It literally takes three times as long to film those scenes than any other scenes, and to be able to do that and maintain two separate characters is pretty extraordinary."

Joe Morton ("Scandal")
"Kerry Washington, first of all. I think her work is spectacular. She brings a lot to that character. I think Jeff Perry [Cyrus Beene] deserves an Emmy for his work on the show. He was one of the reasons I wanted to be on that show. And Bellamy Young, who really broadened and deepened the role of Mellie [Grant]."

Kristen Schaal ("Last Man on Earth")
"Forte, Forte, Forte. It's definitely [Will] Forte — it's his show. Everybody's talented, but definitely Mel Rodriguez. There's some moments on that show that really caught me off guard. Like, physically when he finds out that Phil is going to kill him, and Melissa [January Jones] knocks on the door and he has potato chips all over his shirt. That moment is so good. That guy is just brimming with so much emotion, and he's just effortlessly able to convey it. He's just a great actor — we're really lucky that we have him."

Chris Geere ("You're The Worst")
"They all do. They are all fantastic, everyone from the writing staff to the production team. I think a couple of the production team were nominated last year, for different shows that they've done. All of us are very grateful to be considered in any light, really. The main one would be the show itself, or [creator] Stephen [Falk]. Because he's done this whole thing. That would be an incredible achievement for him. Stephen or the show itself."

Jeremy Piven ("Mr. Selfridge")
"Tom Goodman-Hill plays Mr. Grove and Amanda Abbington plays Ms. Mardle, and their relationship is heartbreaking and they both deserve Emmys. I think anyone could take the lead at any moment and do it beautifully. I'm just very blown away by the talent pool over here. It's really impressive and inspiring."

Rupert Friend ("Homeland")
"Mandy Patinkin. Mandy has extraordinary commitment to his work and working with him raises my game. I think he sets the bar impossibly high and I think he attains it. To me that makes him a champion and it makes him absolutely deserving of all the awards that there are."

Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl")

Jack Falahee ("How to Get Away With Murder")
"Viola [Davis], of course. But oh man, everyone. All of them. They're all so beautiful and amazing. It would be really tough for me to–is there an Emmy for writing? Is that a thing? I mean, Pete should probably get an Emmy. I feel like he deserves one."

Tatiana Maslany ("Orphan Black")
"I think Kathryn Alexandre, my clone double, deserves an award for her incredible, diligent, generous work. She does all the character work, physical, dialect, emotional and yet is never seen on screen. Jordan Gavaris, the physicality and elegance he brings to Felix is so far from himself, it's astounding. Our amazing writers room deserves an Emmy. John [Fawcett] and Graeme [Manson], our creators. Stephen Lynch and Debra Hansen, who have created the looks for the characters. Our incredible special effects guys at Intelligent Creatures. The list is endless."
Also Read: 'Orphan Black' Star Tatiana Maslany on Twerking, Playing a New Clone and 7 Other Emmy Contender Quickies
Jonathan Groff ("Looking")
"I can think of so many people. But I feel like the unsung hero of "Looking" — who doesn't get a lot of credit but is so essential to our creative process — is Danny Glicker, our costume designer. Even though we wear contemporary modern-day clothes, he is meticulous about picking out every piece of everybody's costumes based on the emotional arc of the season and the emotional arc of the character. I've sat in Danny Glicker's costume fittings and wept or laughed and learned so much about my character."
Also Read: 6 Questions With 'Looking' Star Jonathan Groff: Emmy Contender Quickie
Sutton Foster ("Younger")
"First of all, this whole thing is crazy to me. I think that everybody on the show deserves to be recognized. All the characters are nuanced and complicated when they could be one dimensional characters. They are incredibly nuanced and layered and earnest and deep. I feel like everybody on the show is kicking major ass, it would be amazing if everyone was recognized in that way. I can't pick — you can't make me pick!"

Jane Krakowski ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt")
"I really do hope that Ellie and Tituss [Burgess] will be recognized. And I'm going to say [songwriter/composer and Tina Fey's husband] Jeff Richmond, because I think he has given everyone such musical joy — not only in 'Kimmy' with 'Pinot Noir' as the theme song — but also everything from 'Muffin Top' and 'Werewolf Bar Mitzvah' at '30 Rock.' It's long-deserved that he be recognized for the musical joys he has given us. I hope the show gets recognized because that means we all get to go!"
Also Read: 6 Questions With 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's' Jane Krakowski: Emmy Contender Quickie
Robin Lord Taylor ("Gotham")
"I would say, first of all, Jada Pinkett Smith. She brought so much vivacity and she created this character, which I think should live on in the comics. I think it left such a lasting impression on everybody… I would also say Ben [McKenzie] because he had the hardest job of any of us. He carries the show, he brings us down to a place of reality… Finally, I have to give a huge shout-out to my very good friend, Cory Michael Smith… the stuff that he did this season was just so perfect."
Also Read: 5 Questions With 'Gotham's' Robin Lord Taylor: Emmy Contender Quickie
Anna Chlumsky ("Veep")
"Definitely Julia and Tony [Hale]. But, oh gosh, I think Tim Simons' job is always very award-worthy. 'Cause they give him some really difficult things to tackle, and he plays it as such a real human being, yet a completely despicable human being. But it's hard to single people out, because then I could go to Matt [Walsh], who is just brilliant. He's funny because you believe him. And then there's Kevin Dunn, the most relaxed and effortless performance. It's a nice problem to have, that I can't single anybody out."
Also Read: 9 Questions With 'Veep' Star Anna Chlumsky: Emmy Contender Quickie
Andrew Stiles for TheWrap
Sam Heughan ("Outlander")
"I think everybody does. Caitriona [Balfe] is terrific. She has so much stamina and she carries the show. She has to show up everyday and just give her best. Tobias, equally, he's an amazing actor. Those last couple of episodes where I really sort of got to go to some interesting places, he was there and we really supported each other and trusted each other. I think trust is the most important thing. If the actors and the director and the crew trust each other and you set up perimeters and boundaries, you give everyone space to do great work. I think we've got an amazing costume department, amazing writers, directors — just give us an Emmy for everything."
Also Read: 6 Questions With 'Outlander' Star Sam Heughan: Emmy Contender Quickie
Gina Rodriguez ("Jane the Virgin")
"Oooh, all of them! Every single one of them. I've seen them transform and stretch and thrive this entire season. It was a joy and an honor to be a part of that. To have this relationship with each and every one of them, I couldn't even pick one, I think they all really worked their buns off and I'm very lucky."

Jon Hamm ("Mad Men")
"For my money, I think the one person who has been really criminally overlooked through the years has been Vincent Kartheiser [Pete Campbell]. His work on the show from the beginning has been really spectacular. He's created this character that is so easy to dislike but if you really look at the character of Pete, he's on the right side of a lot of the arguments and you can see the frustration in that character."

Training an Audience
The Magik Theatre prepares next generation for art appreciation
By By Kathleen Petty
Published: December 2014
Tattletale May presses the button on her noisemaking contraption and the sound of a major belch permeates the theater. The school kids packed into the audience burst out laughing while the actors on stage remain in character and continue opening their gifts.
The scene that will unfold at The Magik Theatre this holiday season as part of Junie B. Jones: Jingle Bells Batman Smells is all part of what it takes to raise up the next generation of art lovers, says Richard Rosen, the theater's founder and executive director. "Creating an audience is an educational process," says Rosen, noting that early exposure to theater also creates future fans of the ballet, the symphony and more. "They're learning about art and what theater can be. We're generating future audiences."
Engaging kids in a way that's both educational and fun sometimes requires a few hilarious antics—like Tattletale May's burping noises or the audible flatulence projected from Shrek and Fiona when on stage earlier this year. But, it also includes plenty of teachable moments that come through everything from seeing paid, professional actors on stage to watching the lessons taught from favorite childhood books come to life. "Many children think they're coming to see a movie the first time they come here," says Aimée Stead, director of marketing for the theater. "It's amazing to watch their reactions when they walk in and realize there are live people on stage."
Rosen, who launched the children's theater 20 years ago, says along with exposing kids to art, the theater also offers children a chance to learn about what goes into a production through summer camps, workshops and field trips. What they learn at the camps doesn't always lead to a career in the arts, but it can teach them lessons about teamwork and creativity that translate well into any field. "Theater is important because it widens the scope of what children see in the world," he says. "It opens their eyes to a whole new world." For adults, the youth theater is a place for family entertainment and also an avenue to pursue professional acting without having to leave town. The Magik Theatre supports the only full-time, paid company of actors in town, Stead says.
Traditionally, Magik performances have catered to younger kids. Rosen hopes to expand that audience base as the nonprofit looks to renovate and expand to a second theater that will include more programming targeting pre-teens and teens in the years to come. Whatever their facilities look like, Rosen says, the goals will remain the same. "The Magik Theatre is all about education," he says. "And we use arts education to teach kids about life."

Disclaimer: Yes, this article is delayed, but readers who follow me and the Coyotes may understand and hopefully forgive me for needing some time for grieving, and clearing my head so I could write this article devoid of profanities.
With many suitors calling, free agent Shane Doan won't let the Coyotes' arena hassles and cloudy ownership hold him hostage.
Last Tuesday the Coyotes suffered an irreparable 4-3 OT loss to the LA Kings at home in Jobing.com Arena exiting them from the 2012 NHL Playoffs.
The Pacific Division Champs had their work surely cut out for them in this series, and they knew it too. In a do-or-die Game 5, the boys skated harder in the first period than I'd seen them all post-season. They kept after it, knowing they'd need to take the lead early. First goal went to the Coyotes, thanks to tag team efforts by Pyatt and Hanzal. From there though, the rest of the first and second became a scrappy game of cat-and-mouse.
The second period in boasted two more goals from each team, and the Coyotes showed some moxie in their efforts to stay in this post-season. Marc-Antoine Pouliot came up big and scored his first career playoff goal at 6:23 of the second. Pouliot didn't score in 13 regular-season contests for the Coyotes this season, and hadn't scored an NHL goal since April 2, 2010, when he played for Edmonton.
Play became quite sloppy in the third, but the Coyotes looked to be holding strong. The vibe on the ice was frantic. This frenzy grew and grew; from both teams- as if the Kings knew that letting the Coyotes win this one and gain confidence would prove fatal.
I received numerous text messages from friends having heart attacks, and several other concerned messages about how to prevent mine.
Within a short whirl-wind, OT became Dave Tippett's worst nightmare. Things were heating up as Mike Smith lost his glove, Drew Doughty was wildly out of control, and the officiating… let's just say that they lost control over the consistency of their calls in this game, heck, in this series.
Arguments emerged about penalties being called and not called from both sides. However none was as significant as the Dustin Brown hit. Brown's hit on Coyotes Michal Rozsival in overtime is still a sore subject and debatable argument amongst Coyotes and Kings fans.
What happens seconds later, the next face off to be precise, is shocking and all too fast for Coyotes players and fans. The Kings win the face off and bring the puck down into the offensive zone, Carter takes a shot from the right side, and it pops back out in front of goalie Mike Smith. There seems to be a second where time stands still. Smith knows he is too far down. Dustin Penner is sitting right in the high slot, ready for the rebound. He scores. At 17:42 of overtime, the LA Kings take the win and eliminate the stunned Coyotes.
And so ensues one of the most awkward and heated handshakes seen in hockey. Coyotes Captain Shane Doan and teammate Martin Hanzal are still too fired up to nicely shake Dustin Brown's hand. Words are exchanged, and the media has a field day with 'Yotes and their post-game emotions.
"It's disappointing for a season to end like that. It stings. We gave it all we had. We battled hard all season long. It's disappointing we not only got beat by them but got beat by the officials, too. It's not just this game, it's all season long. They did everything they could not to let us get to this position.
This loss by the Coyotes, seemingly bitter and negative, was portrayed in a poor light due to the conditions of this last Game 5. There was still a lot to like about their postseason, but the 'Yotes frustrations got the better of them.
In the end skill and speed won over tenacity and grit, and the LA Kings worked hard to earn their spot in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Despite the hurt and exasperation, I had a personal observation of the heart of the Phoenix Coyotes. After the game I waited outside the arena while catching up with a friend who drives the Zamboni, right near the exit tunnel of the players. There were about six fans lingering, and they waited a good couple hours, post-game for a chance to bid farewell to the Coyotes, and maybe a handshake and an autograph. To my surprise, several players stopped to acknowledge the fans for the support, or even giving an appreciative honk. These are not bandwagon fans mind you, I've probably seen those six fans faces at every game I've attended the last several years. The 'Yotes knew that too, and even when they wanted to book it home and forget their frustrations (perhaps in a beer or two), they stopped and they said thank you.
Regardless of the outcome, some praise is well deserved for these desert dogs. As Sarah McLellan writer for The Arizona Republic said "That missed opportunity won't define this team." They might have gone home pretty banged up, but in time they will be able to reflect back on just how much their accomplishments trumped their shortcomings.
The Coyotes won their first Pacific Division title and made it to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.
Mike Smith, the goaltender who materialized out of nowhere, had a banner year full of record-breaking numbers, and has emerged as a leader and motivator for this team. I think it's fair to call him MVP.
Dave Tippett, a coach who is well-respected around the NHL, is proving that his system works and the way he handles his players is a method to be modeled after.
Martin Hanzal, Antoine Vermette, Radim Vrbata and Keith Yandle are locked up on multi-year deals with the Coyotes, and they have faith in Tippett to lead them to even bigger things next season.
For a perpetually underdog team on the verge of securing an owner and a competitive budget, that's not a bad position to be in.


Go Daddy is very popular with online marketers as is evident from its fast growing customer base. This service currently handles more than 45 million different domains and its users have very little to complain about. This company does offer many services but what sets it apart from the other hosting services in the market is that it is quite reliable and easy to use. This service also offers very inexpensive registration, making it one of the most popular hosts for people who want new URLs for their websites.
The data servers are very high tech and they are also maintained in high security facilities, thereby ensuring that downtime is kept to the absolute minimum.
Go Daddy offers a very impressive array of features and users can pick a plan that has all the features they need. The basic plan does not offer a whole lot of features; it does not come with unlimited storage space, email or databases. In fact, it offers 10GB of storage only. However, this is more than satisfactory for small businesses, especially when they are just starting out and do not need a lot of bandwidth or storage. This plan also comes with 1 email address only. All plans come with free mobile sites.
A business can always shift to a more expensive plan if and when it expands to require more infrastructure. Even so, this company is best suited to a small or medium sized business and not to a very large one because of the limitations placed on features. Go Daddy also offers a variety of useful SEO tools but these come at a price and are not available with the cheaper plans. Even so, this service offers its subscribers a variety of data on site statistics so that they can manage their businesses better. This service supports a number of popular programming languages such as ASP, ColdFusion, MySQL, PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby etc. This company also offers good e-commerce solutions, but at an additional cost.
Novices at online commerce can easily get started using this website hosting service since it is extremely easy to use. The site creation and domain management tools it offers are all very user friendly and flexible. The website templates offered are very simple and easy to use. Users can graduate to using complicated applications after a while thanks to many tutorials on various relevant subjects. The FAQ section is extremely useful to newbies and experienced users equally.
The company also offers lots of technical support to users so that they can make the best use of their websites. However, users complain that they get answers from technical support after a wait of 24 hours or so. This delay causes a lot of problems for companies if their websites cannot be accessed properly by customers. The very popularity of this service provider is the reason for this problem since its support team is evidently not equipped to deal with queries in good time.
Since Go Daddy has very affordable registration costs, a person who is launching an online business will naturally go for this service. Upgraded services tend to be very expensive but people only opt for them when their businesses have expanded enough to need them. For instance, only the Premium Plan offer free SSL certificate. This is definitely a major drawback of the service.
There is no doubt at all that Go Daddy is a very good shared website host in spite of its drawbacks. Most people pick and choose the options they need (and pay for them individually) so that they can run their websites easily.

COKETT, Anthony (by 1517-60/61), of London and South Mimms, Mdx. and Sibton, Suff.
MELCOMBE REGIS
b. by 1517, 1st s. of Edward Cokett of Appleton, Norf. by Anne, da. of Thomas Froxmere of Droitwich, Worcs. m. Margaret, da. of Sir Arthur Hopton of Cockfield in Yoxford, Suff., 1s. 1da. suc. fa. 1540/41.1
Anthony Cokett inherited from his father three manors in Norfolk and four in Suffolk and the remainder to another three Norfolk manors after the death of his mother; at the same time he was, so his brothers alleged, charged with the payment of five annuities of £5 to them, a responsibility which he vigorously denied, preferring to spend the money 'in the charges of the law before that ever his said brethren should compel him to pay'. In 1543, as Anthony Cokett esquire, of Middlesex and Appleton, Norfolk, he sold the reversion to Appleton and Newton manors to John Coningsby in exchange for Old Ford Park, parcel of the manor of South Mimms. During 1544-5 he acquired the house and site of Bushmead priory, Bedfordshire, from Sir John Gascoigne and in July 1546 he bought a manor in the same county from the crown for £397; both these properties he sold in 1552 to William Gery.2
Cokett and another East Anglian, Thomas Poley, were probably not the two men chosen by the electors of Melcombe Regis in 1545 since their names appear over an erasure on the sheriff's schedule. Cokett may have owed his return to Foley, who as joint receiver of the former lands of the Knights of St. John was himself doubtless the nominee of his superior in augmentations and one of the knights for Dorset in the same Parliament, Sir Thomas Arundell; but if (Sir) William Herbert I was already steward of the neighbouring town of Weymouth, Cokett may have benefited by Herbert's friendship with his kinsman the 5th Earl of Shrewsbury. His maternal grandfather's earlier Membership for Weymouth also perhaps conduced to his return.3
Before the end of Mary's reign Cokett had sold two of his manors in Suffolk, Stanton in Knettishall and Livermere Parva. Although South Mimms was his chief residence he was described after his death as of Sibton. He died intestate in 1560 or early in 1561 and the administration of his estate during the minority of his son and daughter was on 21 Apr. 1561 granted to his brother, Thomas Cokett. In 1571 further letters of administration were granted to Anthony Cokett's widow, who had since married a half-brother of Amy Robsart. In 1576 Cokett's son likewise obtained letters of administration but these were revoked as invalid ten years later.4

Author's Description: This is an adventure game I made.
7I love the graphics! and music, they are original, different and fun. The storyline was interesting too. The only downside for me was the user interface. It was hard to use and got annoying at times because it slowed the game down for me.
9This is a great game with cool painted graphics. The music could use some variety but overall it's quite fun to play. Its even got a tank minigame. Once in a while you might get stuck, but that happens with all point and click adventure games. Hopefully Tino adds some more levels.

On September 12, 2013, Twitter confidentially filed for an I.P.O. with the S.E.C., but made it publicly known through its own website (Sommer, 2013). It does not seem to be a coincidence that they have timed their offering with the rise of Facebook's stock and the overall market. Wisely, Twitter has waited to make the offering until the disaster of last year has begun to dissipate, but it is possible that it will crash and burn at the beginning just like Facebook.
about jobs. Twitter's done nothing technically wrong, but they're not really a small emerging-growth company. They're big. They're successful. They don't need this to go ahead with an I.P.O. Yet they're not giving us the information that investors need to understand their business" (Sommer, 2013). I think it was a bad move on Twitter's part to decide to keep their information private and then publicize that decision. Investors want more information before buying into such a big company like Twitter. They want to know how much of a gamble they are taking.
I believe that Twitter will be more successful than Facebook because they have prepared themselves better and will price it to appeal to shareholders more appropriately. They have decided to go public at a time when the market is doing well and social media is strong. They have also done well from year to year with a great increase in revenue. 53% of Twitter's ad revenue will come from mobile this year (Hof, 2013). Mobile was a big weakness in Facebook's business model when it first filed, but it has turned into a strength. Twitter's mobile-ad business is better positioned leading into its I.P.O. than Facebook's was. Days before Twitter's filing, it bought mobile-ad exchange MoPub for $300 million, which will help Twitter generate ad revenue through the mobile app (Luckerson, 2013).

Cannes: Catholic Church Sex-Abuse Drama 'Spotlight' Secures Foreign Sales
7:14 AM PDT 5/14/2015 by Etan Vlessing
Austin Hargrave
eOne inked a multi-territory deal for the film, which stars Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton, with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions.
Entertainment One has sold Thomas McCarthy's Catholic Church scandal drama Spotlight, which stars Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber and Stanley Tucci, across a raft of international territories.
The international distributor secured a multi-territory deal with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions for Latin America, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe outside of the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Israel and India. The film is also going to BIM in Italy, Portugal's Lusomundo, Discovery in the former Yugoslavia, Estonian Theatrical Distribution for the Baltic states, South Africa's Times Media and Golden Scene in Hong Kong.
Spotlight, written by McCarthy and Josh Singer, has also been sold to Queen in Indonesia, Singapore's Shaw, South Korean indie Activers, Caichang in Taiwan, Sahamongkol in Thailand and EIM for airline rights.
Open Road Films earlier announced it would distribute the movie in the U.S. with a wide release. The film, which was shot in Toronto in 2014, is based on the true story of a team of Boston Globe reporters uncovering a massive scandal of child abuse and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese.
Spotlight is a co-production of Anonymous Content and Rocklin/Faust, and was financed by Participant Media. eOne will also distribute Spotlight directly in the U.K., Canada, Spain, Benelux and Australia/New Zealand.
Anonymous Content's Steve Golin and Michael Sugar and Rocklin/Faust's Nicole Rocklin and Blye Faust are producers, with David Mizner as a consultant and associate producer. Participant Media's Jonathan King and Jeff Skoll are executive producers, with King and Participant's Robert Kessel sharing the supervising producer credits.

McKinstry: Alfonse D'Amato tells the story of long-shot Republican candidates
D'Amato with Staten Island Assemblywoman Nicole Malliatakos Credit: Dan Janison
By Gerald McKinstry Updated August 28, 2012 9:07 PM
TAMPA -- New York's delegation at the Republican Nation Convention continued its lovefest for 1980 when it tapped another winner from that year to tell his story: Alfonse D'Amato.
"In 1980, they said it couldn't be done," D'Amato said today in Clearwater, later adding that Ronald Reagan was well behind in the polls in his come-from-behind win over President Jimmy Carter.
"I was Al Who?"
The one-time long-shot from Hempstead knocked off Sen. Jacob Javitz in a Republican primary that year and then served in the Senate until 1999 when he lost to Chuck Schumer, now the senior senator from New York.
Like now, the economy was pretty bad. There are parrallels.
And with a virtual dead-heat in national polls between President Barack Obama and his challenger Mitt Romney,it's not hard for these delegates to get jazzed up about the race.
But when New York State Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox likened D'Amato to another long-shot Republican -- Wendy Long, who is running against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D- N.Y.) -- he didn't mention that D'Amato won under unique circumstances. He won with a plurality in a three person race: Javits split the Democratic vote with Elizabeth Holtzman, giving D'Amato a slight edge.
It's hard to imagine Long pulling out a win this year against Gillibrand, who holds a commanding lead and has a lot of cash.
Its more likely that voters will be saying, "Wendy Who?"

It feels funny to admit that the inspiration came from a paper doll house, but I remember seeing one and thinking that could be a clever idea for a music video – but make the house inspired by something less conventional, like a paper doll party house.
After commissioning an incredibly diverse range of music videos from the Genero community for every track on their album Big Mess, we have one final GROUPLOVE video to share!
US animator and Platinum filmmaker Brendan Huza is behind the Official Selection for 'Good Morning', which was created with a paper doll house aesthetic.
A huge thanks to everyone who took part in our GROUPLOVE brief, and a big congrats to Brendan for his work on this one. We caught up with the animator and asked him to share a bit more detail about the process of creating this one! Check it out below.
I've been a fan of Grouplove for awhile now, and I thought it was awesome that they were allowing filmmakers the opportunity to create a video for every song on their new album. I knew I definitely wanted to give one of them a shot. When listening through the tracks, 'Good Morning' stood out right away as a fun and upbeat song, that I thought would be equally fun to animate a video for.
It feels funny to admit that the inspiration for this video came from a paper doll house, but I remember seeing one and thinking that could be a clever idea for a music video – but make the house inspired by something less conventional, like a paper doll party house. And as soon as I heard the song 'Good Morning', the idea came back to me – the house could be the bands house – where they live, sleep, party, perform, and have fun.
With that idea in mind, I knew I wanted the paper doll house aesthetic to feel authentic – where I could spin it around and jump from one room to the next. So I'd need to build the entire house in 3d space and have all the rooms actually be connected. I did some research and found a lot of printable house and furniture templates on Pinterest that I used as reference. Then I got to work creating each room of the house in Photoshop, and constructing all the rooms together in After Effects – taking advantage of the program's ability to construct in 3d space, add lights, camera movement and depth of field.
"The night is young/why ya' gotta say good morning" was the lyric that really inspired the whole idea of the story. I wanted to juxtapose a night of people partying VS the next morning when the band is waking up and going about their day with all the party-goers still passed out around them. It was fun to envision how the same space would be used for two totally different scenarios/times of day and using the songs rhythm to cut back and forth between the two. And once I came up with what rooms I would need and how the house would be laid out, the video really came together from there.
This video was a lot of fun to work on, and I am honored and thankful to have been selected. I want to thank the band and Genero for the opportunity!
