A No-Spoilers Review of 'Avengers: Endgame'

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Few film franchises can hold a candle to Marvel. Since 2008, the geniuses behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have weaved a careful web of stories for comic book superfans, each one uniquely connecting to the next. They've given us subtle teases and post-credits scenes, fueling our cravings for what's to come. But all good things must come to an end, and we have arrived at our final destination full of superhero madness.
Directed by Kevin Feige and produced by Anthony and Joe Russo, Marvel's Avengers: Endgame is a three-hour thrill ride, and you'll go through every emotion you can imagine before you even finish your popcorn (don't get a soda. You cannot pee during this movie.). It all goes by in a flash but leaves viewers satisfied with a complete storyline and meaningful conclusion to the 22-film super saga.
Dead Dead vs. Dusted Dead
There are two types of dead in the MCU: dead dead and dusted dead. Did Thanos crush your throat in his hands or throw your body off a cliff in pursuit of the Soul Stone? That's dead dead. Did you evaporate into dust while saying, "I don't feel so good?" That's dusted dead.
The people Thanos (Josh Brolin) murdered when he wiped out half the universe in Infinity War are known as "The Vanished." In Endgame, the world tries to cope with this new reality. But the 50/50, perfectly balanced world Thanos achieved turns out to be less than ideal. Thanos' self-perceived success results in a stunned world full of support groups, abandoned possessions, and a whole lot of mourning. It's hard to move on when you can't let go of what you lost.

The Real OGs
Endgame does a lot of things well, but perhaps the best is the razor-sharp focus on the original six Avengers: Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), and Captain America (Chris Evans). The MCU has expanded over the years to include dozens of other heroes and sidekicks, from the Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), but the small group of legendary heroes that began this wild ride is front and center in Endgame, and it's the perfect setup for a poetic story of epic proportions.

Though fans have speculated (to no end, honestly) how the heroes will defeat Thanos, including theories like Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) — who was absent from Infinity War due to house arrest) — shrinking small enough to fit inside the Infinity Gauntlet, the method they settle on provides fans with a delightful trip down memory lane. It pays homage to Marvel movies past while reminding us why we fell in love with these butt-kicking badasses in the first place.

All of our Avengers have their own struggles: Missed opportunities at love, daddy issues, guilt over their past lives, fear of not living up to expectations, and putting the needs of society over those of your own family. It's these struggles that make the heroes so relatable, reminding us that even with super strength and a dope costume, life is hard. Endgame gives each of the core Avengers a shot at redemption, letting them face their demons head-on. Some come out on top. Others … don't.

Fan Service
Endgame is a film for the fans. It's jam-packed with Easter eggs, including the iconic Stan Lee cameo, but also countless others that will incite giggles from true fans. It's impossible to stay quiet while you watch characters you've followed for more than a decade shout their iconic catchphrases, surprise you with a new look, or come to the rescue just in the nick of time. It's heartwarming, passionate, and even a little silly. But it's the small, fun moments that keep the film balanced amid the seriousness of the storyline. After all, we're trying to save trillions of people and living creatures — a tough job with or without metal suits of armor, special weapons made for the Worthy, and all the Vibranium in Wakanda.
Fans have also been amped for Captain Marvel to make her debut as an official Avenger since her standalone origin story film premiered last month, after which she appeared with Black Widow, War Machine, and Captain America in a post-credits scene. But, she's a lot less important than fans expected. If you haven't seen Captain Marvel yet, you'll make it through Endgame just fine. I suspect she'll play a larger role in phase four of the MCU. Captain Marvel was one of the few things I was disappointed by in Endgame, but keeping her in the backseat makes perfect sense considering this film is really about the OG squad of heroes, a theme that fans will pick up on almost immediately.
Avengers: Endgame is a swan song, and it's one of the most satisfying conclusions to a story I've ever seen. Audiences should definitely go in with a willing suspension of belief — after all, we are talking about a superhero movie complete with alien races and time travel. But if you take it for what it is — flashy, fun, and fictional — you'll love it.
The film is a wild ride and a good time, tying up story arcs and loose ends in a neat little bow. All of your favorite characters are there, coming together for one last epic fight against a powerful foe, each one getting what they need before turning the MCU over to the next phase of heroes.
P.S. Bring tissues.

Default properties and methods of the session object.
This object is automatically instantiated as the session property of the global object (or global.session).
The session object is a host object representing the session for the request that is currently handled by the scripting environment.
Each web request is associated with a SessionObject representing a 'user session'. Helma recognises requests being made from the same client within the same session through a session cookie named 'HopSession'. If no such cookie is sent with the request, Helma will set that a cookie with a random hash with the next response.
Within the scripting environment 'session' always represents the current session of the user, who initiated the web request.
Besides that default session object, it is also possible to fetch active sessions of other clients through the method app.getSessions(), and to create additional SessionObjects through app.createSession().
For further details also see the JavaDocs for helma.framework.core.SessionBean. Since that class is a JavaBean all get- and set-methods are also directly available as properties of that object.
The unique identifier for a session object (session cookie).
Contains the unique identifier of the current session, which is equivalent to the value stored in the HopSession-cookie on the client side.
The cookie value of a session.
Object providing space for run-time user data (user cache).
This property of the SessionObject offers the possibility to store arbitrary data within the current user session. Note, that this can just be used as a temporary storage, since sessions are not stored persistently within Helma, and are generally lost when the application is restarted.
The date a session was created or a login or logout was performed the last time.
This is a convenience property to acknowledge that pages are often dependent on the login status and must be re-rendered when a user has logged in, logged out or is running with a new session.
Contains the timestamp of when the associated client started the session, or logged in, or logged out the last time, whichever happened most recently.
This property is read- and write-able.
A reference to the user object associated with the current session.
Contains a reference to the UserObject associated with this session. This property is null if the client has not been logged in yet, or has already been logged out. Checking this for being unequal to null is the usual way to check whether a client is logged in or not. This property is read-only, but can be set through the method session.login(User usr).
A date object representing the time this user's session was last active.
Contains the timestamp of the last web request, that has been submitted by that client. This property is read-only, but can be set to the current time through session.touch().
For new sessions, if the session represents a registered user the result equals the date the user was logged in the last time; otherwise the result equals the current date.
Logs in a user defined by its name and a password phrase, or by directly passing a HopObject.
If called with one HopObject argument, the session is associated with the user represented by the HopObject.
If called with two string arguments, it returns true if the user name / password pair matches the stored values in the database and false otherwise.
Associates the passed User to that session, i.e. logs the client in as that User. The property user of the session object will refer to the User.
Removes the reference to a User associated with the current session, if such a reference exists. Additionally the global function onLogout will be called.
A date object representing the time a user's session was started.
Date when the current session was started.
The session's expiration date is set to the current date plus session timeout. This also happens automatically when a user request is sent to Helma.
The lastActive property will be set to the current timestamp. Useful to artificially avoid a session timeout.

Marie Louise Lafourcade, née le  à Bordeaux et morte après août 1887, est une chanteuse qui a débuté à Lyon, avant de devenir une étoile de l'Eldorado, le plus célèbre café-concert parisien.

Biographie
Née en 1848, Marie Louise Lafourcade est la troisième et dernière fille de Jean Lafourcade et Cécile Lespagne. Elle a deux sœurs, Marie Louise, née en 1843, et Catherine, née en 1845. En 1854, la famille quitte le Sud-Ouest pour s'installer à Paris. Après une jeunesse passée en partie en pension, Marie Lafourcade entre à quinze ans comme choriste aux Bouffes-Parisiens, où ses deux sœurs officient déjà, l'aînée sous le nom de Louise Lafourcade, la cadette sous celui de Mathilde Lafourcade.

En 1865, Marie Louise est amenée à témoigner à Londres avec ses sœurs, dans deux procès impliquant leur père, condamné à dix-huit mois de prison pour parjure à l'issue du premier. Lors du second, les trois sœurs évoquent brièvement leur parcours : Louise est devenue blanchisseuse ; Mathilde a quitté le théâtre pour le café-concert et gagne entre 450 et 500 francs par mois ; Marie Louise, qui a dix-sept ans et demi, est chanteuse. Elles sont par ailleurs interrogées sur leur éventuelle participation à des séances de photographie de nu, ou à des spectacles comportant des scènes de nudité (appelées ). Toutes les trois affirment avoir toujours posé ou joué habillées, et Louise précise qu'elles n'ont jamais reçu d'argent au titre de prostituées.

Perçue comme l'héritière de Thérésa, Marie Louise  est engagée à l'Eldorado en mars 1867 et devient célèbre en chantant notamment Le Pifferaro du boulevard, une chanson de Félix Baumaine et Charles Blondelet. À la même époque, Mathilde poursuit sa carrière de son côté.

Le , Le Figaro annonce la mort de Mathilde : embarquée pour une tournée en Californie, elle est morte à 27 ans le , le lendemain de son arrivée à San Francisco, d'une fièvre contractée durant une halte à Panama. Dans les jours suivants, plusieurs journaux relaient l'information, mais confondant Mathilde avec sa sœur, ils rapportent à tort que Marie Lafourcade est morte de phtisie pulmonaire. Le , Le Figaro relève l'erreur et précise que , sans mentionner laquelle.

Marie Lafourcade se produit toujours en 1887. Ses date et lieu de décès ne sont pas connus.

Everytown: ATF Must Act to Regulate Ghost Guns
Untraceable "Ghost Guns" Can Be Purchased Online With No Background Check, Due to ATF's Failure to Regulate
Amid Surging Sales of Untraceable, DIY Ghost Guns, Everytown has Formally Urged ATF to Act to Keep Guns Out of the Hands of Violent Criminals, Gun Traffickers, and Minors
On Sunday night, a 60 Minutes report featuring law enforcement officers and the former acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) showed that ghost guns––untraceable, do-it-yourself firearms made from parts available without a background check––are "a growing a weapon of choice among criminals."
On April 30th, Everytown for Gun Safety renewed its call on the ATF to use its existing power to regulate ghost guns, and is rallying its supporters to urge ATF to act. Everytown experts on ghost guns are available for interviews.
Highlights from the 60 Minutes report, which can be viewed in full here, include:
Thomas Brandon, former acting director of the ATF, was "ready to recommend" that the agency reclassify the kits and parts used to build ghost guns before his retirement. No such action has been taken.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva cited ghost guns as a top concern, reporting a 50% jump in the number of ghost guns being found in Los Angeles county investigations.
One ghost guns seller interviewed in the segment estimated that between 300,000 and 500,000 individual ghost gun units had moved through his store in the last ten years.
The number of crimes committed with ghost guns is increasing "significantly and rapidly," according to the ATF's assistant director of field operations.
The rise of ghost guns is one of the country's fastest-growing gun safety problems, with the guns predictably emerging as a weapon of choice for violent criminals, gun traffickers, dangerous extremists, and, generally, people legally prohibited from buying firearms.
In the past year, Everytown for Gun Safety has repeatedly called on the ATF to use its existing power to clarify that ghost gun parts should be regulated like firearms and thus subject to a background check. In April, Members of the House Judiciary Committee also sent a letter seeking answers regarding the measures the ATF has undertaken to address the surge in ghost guns sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the country, states like California, New Jersey, and Connecticut have taken action to quell the threat of ghost guns—but a broad action from the ATF is necessary to provide a national solution. In February, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on the ATF to take immediate action to address the proliferation of ghost guns in a letter he sent to ATF leadership.

The evening's peripherals were perfect. A few lights had begun twinkling along Plymouth's quaint English shoreline. Great drafts of bracing salt air whooshed across our open Skyhatch, a mechanically actuated moonroof of sorts, through which a faint moon shone, at least on some of my longer beeline runs. And the rain had quit, leaving a sunset sky washed with amber and red.
The essence of the moment seemed to have little to do with any of this, however. Indeed, from where I sat, at the helm of a freshly minted Viking Sport Cruisers V62, I could see deeper things going on, well beyond the niceties of scene and climate.
I pegged the Rexroth electronic sticks under my right hand, spun a tight, hardover turn with the fingertips of my left and the result, from what I could tell by casting a brief glance over my shoulder, was decidedly poetic—a sweet, semi-circular curve that sent a shot of pure adrenaline rattling up my jaded old spine.
Balance, that was it! That was the essence of the moment. Bernard Olesinski had drawn the 62's hull form to sweetly split the difference between the lithe agility of a performance-oriented deep-V screamer (with a transom deadrise of 21 degrees; wide, significantly reversed chine flats; and three running strakes on either side) and the measured plumpness characteristic of a big and roomy express cruiser that has lots of living space inside and a very high amenity quotient to go with it.
The positioning of the 62's diesel engines (each with a large saddle tank just outboard it) proved the point. Instead of shoving such weighty components all the way aft and dedicating the space gained forward to enlarging the interior, Olesinski had decided to keep everything closer amidships, a strategy that had optimized running attitudes as well as visibility (particularly when coming out of the hole) and helped produce unwavering directionality on the straightaway, solid, nose-up cornering in even the tightest turns, and performance efficiencies that punched up the Bliss-O-Meter, as well as the speed log.
You can't give Olesinski all the credit, though. Princess Yachts, which builds the entire Sport Cruisers line in England in conjunction with its American partner, Viking Sport Cruisers, had resin-infused our 62's hull, along with her superstructure and many other structural components, and such infusion tends to reduce overall laminate weight, thereby boosting top end and producing stronger, more resilient structures by optimizing their resin-to-glass ratios.
Princess had done other good things, too. Our test boat sported three foam-cored fiberglass liner-like "tray molds" (as Princess calls them) supporting her forward accommodation spaces, her saloon/wheelhouse, and her lazarette area, each thoroughly 'glassed to the hull, a measure that engenders extra structural strength and rigidity, as well as a solid, unibody feel. Moreover, she has a hull-to-deck joint secured with a urethane-type marine adhesive and through-bolts on three-inch centers, then fiberglassed, all the way around.
Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to dock our 62 in Plymouth once we'd finished with the trial, due to Princess' company policy and the vagaries of insurance, but the process seemed to go easily and straightforwardly enough for the captain onboard, thanks to the superb visibility and the lively oomph of a couple of electric Side-Power thrusters, a standard one at the bow and an optional one at the stern. Line-handling access to the starboard side deck was relatively easy and unimpeded, but getting to the side deck on the port side was a tad challenging, primarily because I had to fumble over the cockpit's U-shape lounge and a bit of the sunpad atop the garage.
The 62's interior was almost as much of an eye-opener as my driving experience. In light of her exciting open-water performance, I'd been expecting a Spartan, perhaps even a cramped layout inside, but I found something remarkably different. On the bottom deck, the full-beam master was genuinely spacious, with an immense berth, an en suite head, and a bank of four vertical windows per side. The other two staterooms were of ample size and offered fine sleeping arrangements via an island berth in the forward VIP and two single berths in the starboard guest room. The galley/dinette area was generously sized as well and open to a flood of ambient light from the windshield above.
The situation topside was almost as roomy, in large part because the living area here could be easily extended from the comparatively small saloon/wheelhouse into the cockpit by simply opening the intervening three-part stainless steel slider. The decorative ambiance, consisting of a satin-oak finish with dark-brown leather accents (the theme that prevails throughout the rest of the vessel), was bright and cheerful. And the finish was crisp and solidly executed.
My only complaint arose when I visited the 62's engine room. While the place had obviously been carefully engineered and laid out, it was a bit tight in spots. For instance, outboard access to the engines was relatively difficult due to their close proximity to the fuel tanks and the distance between the exhaust manifolds of the extra wide MTUs measured just 15 inches.
Despite this minor (unless you're a mechanic) gripe, my opinion remained high, though. The Viking Sport Cruisers V62 is an undeniably comfortable cruiser with a practical, wholly satisfying interior. And on the performance side? Well, had there been one just more hour of daylight to play with once we'd finished up the test, I'd have wrangled another spin around Plymouth Sound, sure as heck!
Some cabinet latches rely on friction, others on spring-loaded receivers or keepers and bulbous studs, and still others on a plunger that appears as a disc on the door. They all get the job done.
But our test boat had none of these. Instead, her cabinets were outfitted with a dead simple, totally invisible latch called the Southco Parrot from marine hardware manufacturer Southco. With our 62's cabinet doors extending below the bottom frame of each cabinet, her Parrot latches were fitted on the back side of each door (see above) just below the bottom frame, thus engendering a cleaner, crisper, and invisible (with the door closed) appearance. And since the mechanism is little more than a spring-loaded rocker, it's simple to adjust and easy to replace. —B.P.

Dan Fumano: Maple Ridge brings feud with B.C. government to UBCM
Dan Fumano More from Dan Fumano
Updated: August 21, 2019 1:37 PM PDT
Once a homeless camp with up to 100 people, 'Anita Place' now has a half dozen. Some have moved into modular housing the province has built over the objection of the municipality. Francis Georgian / PNG
The mayor of Maple Ridge has publicly feuded with B.C.'s government this year over how to deal with his city's homeless
A feud between Maple Ridge and the B.C. government over the construction of housing for the homeless is set to spill into next month's convention for B.C.'s municipalities.
When representatives of the province's cities, villages and regional districts meet in Vancouver for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, they'll consider a resolution submitted by Maple Ridge, titled "Local Government Autonomy."
The language of the resolution doesn't mention housing the homeless. But, for those who have followed the very public dispute unfolding this year between the governments of Maple Ridge and B.C., it's clear what's driving Maple Ridge to ask the UBCM to "request the provincial government to commit to working in collaboration with local governments within boundaries of their respective jurisdictions."
Maple Ridge Mayor Mike Morden said the resolution grew from the disagreement over how to deal with his city's homeless population, but also the broader issue of "the NDP imposing its will on communities in B.C.," at the expense of "local democratic rights."
The City of Maple Ridge sought a court order to clear a tent city called Anita Place, and this past March, the provincial fire commissioner ordered its evacuation at the request of the city's fire chief, following at least three destructive fires in the camp. Anita Place had stood for almost two years and, at one point, had more than 100 residents. The day after its evacuation, provincial Housing Minister Selina Robinson said Maple Ridge officials had blocked the province's repeated efforts to build housing for the homeless, CBC reported.
Weeks later, Robinson announced plans to build a 51-unit temporary modular housing on a Maple Ridge property owned by the province. That plan was against the will of the local council, and Morden made his opposition clear. From there, the war of words escalated.
Now, the feud will be on next month's UBCM agenda, along with 276 other resolutions from local governments, covering issues including vaping, cave protection and drones.
The Maple Ridge resolution says: "The government of B.C. has shown a willingness to overrule municipal land use regulations," and forgo public consultation and collaboration with local government, "actions that can set a precedent in undermining the jurisdiction of municipal councils."
The UBCM's resolutions committee has recommended endorsing Maple Ridge's call for local government autonomy. In its comments in the resolution book, the committee said the UBCM has "consistently endorsed resolutions emphasizing the importance of communication and consultation with local government."
"Local people tend to know best about local matters and how to tackle them," Morden said Thursday.
The modular housing announced by the B.C. government in March is under construction and expected to be complete in October. The building will be operated by Coast Mental Health, providing 24-hour support services to residents. This follows another modular building in Maple Ridge, which opened 10 months ago, just before Morden was elected mayor.
As of this week, a half dozen residents remain in Anita Place, Morden said. Many past residents of the tent city have been moved into housing, including the first Maple Ridge modular project.
Morden said he supports building more housing for low-income people, seniors and people with disabilities, but he believes Maple Ridge already has too much "low-barrier" housing for people with mental health and substance abuse problems.
"Maple Ridge people need to come first," Morden said. "It can't be a regional clearing house."
B.C. Housing stats show Maple Ridge, a city of about 82,000, has 247 units of housing for the homeless. That means Maple Ridge has more "homeless units" on a per capita basis than nearby Mission and the Tri-Cities, but fewer than Chilliwack, New Westminster and Prince Rupert, and far fewer per capita than Vancouver.
Morden also said other B.C. municipalities have also had modular housing built against the will of their local governments. He specifically named Surrey.
But, when reached by phone on Thursday, Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum said: "We fully support the modular housing, we don't have any problem with it."
A modular housing project built last year in Surrey's Whalley neighbourhood has been credited, by police and neighbours, with helping to clean up the area and reduce crime.
Surrey is hoping to add more modular housing projects, McCallum said. "We're actually moving as quick as we can, as fast as B.C. Housing can put them up, to solve some of our problems with homelessness."
Asked about Morden's comment about Surrey's opposition to modular housing, McCallum said: "I don't know where that's coming from."
In April, Morden drew criticism for saying that drug users were "basically raping and pillaging all of our community and our businesses."
Morden made the controversial comments in a 34-minute video posted on his own YouTube channel. The video opens with a narrator saying Maple Ridge's problem with drug addiction, homeless encampments, mental illness and crime "continues to drain city resources, anger ordinary residents, and reveal the widening divide between the municipal and provincial government."
Morden, the narrator says, is "on the front line in a battle of political wills."
Morden's comments in the video were criticized by anti-poverty advocates and the provincial housing minister. Maple Ridge Coun. Kierstan Duncan told the Maple Ridge News Morden's comments were "grossly inappropriate," adding "it makes the city look terrible" and "reflects poorly on all of council." Fellow Coun. Ahmed Yousef, meanwhile, defended the mayor's comments in an April interview with told CBC Radio, but said he wouldn't have "personally used those words."
When Postmedia asked this week if Morden regretted his comments in the April video, he said he was expressing concerns and frustrations he was hearing from residents.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing sent an emailed statement Thursday saying: "We always prefer to work in collaboration with local governments, and our ministry has been working with Maple Ridge council since 2017 to resolve the significant challenge of homelessness the community has been facing. Given the emergency situation brought on by the city's decision to evacuate the camp in March, we were compelled to move ahead to provide temporary supportive housing for the people in need in this community."
This story has been updated since its original publication to clarify the response of Maple Ridge councillors to the mayor's comments in an April video. This story has also been edited to clarify that a March evacuation order for a tent city in Maple Ridge was issued at the request of the city's fire chief.

THE FIELD OF RESEARCH WHICH THE PRIZE WANTS TO PROMOTE
Maurice Allais has synthesized in several of his talks the main traits of the methodology he applied for his own part and which often led him to go off the beaten paths and to confront the dominating ideas of his time. This method is nothing else than the one which scientists make use of in scientific research in general, but which is sometimes underappreciated in specific avenues of research in the social sciences, while Maurice Allais has granted highest importance to it throughout his life. The jury will consequently prioritize scientific works entailing:
A scrupulous and careful analysis of empirical facts in their different dimensions, both temporal (periods) as well as spatial (countries), without any preconceived view;
A review of existing theories and of their ineffectiveness in explaining facts and observed behaviors;
A construction of the theoretical model making clearly explicit its assumptions, their implications and their plausibility in view of observed facts;
A comparison of the results derived from the model with past data, with particular attention to the validity of these results in time and space;
When meaningful, a confrontation in a rigorous framework of methods and models derived from disciplines neighboring economics to the ones of economics as strictly defined.
Works bearing on the general domains of Maurice Allais' writings will be particularly taken into consideration.
Professor Allais has made extensive use of mathematics in his researches but he never regarded it as a prominent trait of his works. Mathematics was to him a tool, and only a tool, allowing to express concepts under a general form and to derive all logical consequences. The Foundation will pursue in this direction and will reject any formalization, which would not rest on a firm empirical background.
Similarly, Maurice Allais has made extensive use of statistical tools but always declared as "wild econometrics" the automatic application of tests and processes, the only justifications of which were to be easily accessible for computerized treatment and to be of current use. Quite to the contrary, he kept very watchful of the conditions under which the different methods could be meaningfully used and never was fooled by representations, the economic justifications for which were either insufficiently grounded or opposite to common intuition. Clearly, the Foundation will bring an alert attention to this aspect of the submitted economic research.
On the other hand, Maurice Allais has always shown a great interest for all deeply pursued empirical or experimental researches which would aim at evidencing "real" individual or group behaviors when making their economic decisions, for this kind of work can foster progress of our understanding of the present world and constitute a basis of true advances, even if all theoretical consequences may still not be derived. As a matter of fact, he can be considered as being a precursor in these methodologies which tend nowadays to develop as, already in 1952, on the basis of sampled questionnaires, he was in a situation to show a clear-cut formal contradiction between real individual behavior under uncertainty and the presuppositions of currently admitted theories. The Foundation will be quite open to serious researches of this type, which could be submitted to its attention.
Within the field of research as defined here above, the Maurice Allais Prize will be awarded in consideration of the scientific value of the submitted research.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRIZE
The Maurice Allais Prize will select the best research work in Economic Science meeting the general criteria enumerated above and every author of which will meet the eligibility conditions to be a candidate to the Prize.
The Prize competition will in principle be open without predetermined topic, but will possibly take the form of competition on a given theme, which would appear as of primary importance to understand and solve contemporary economic problems.
Every time the call for applications will be launched, the Foundation Committee will determine the form of the Prize on proposal of the Scientific Committee.

Q: Can I determine unbiased estimators of a product of expectations? Let $n$ be any positive natural number.
I was wondering if for any function $g\colon\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ it is always possible to determine a second function $f\colon \{0,1\}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that, for any distribution $\rho$ on $\{0,1\}$ and any $X_1, \ldots, X_n \overset{\text{i.i.d.}}{\sim} \rho$, we have
$$\mathbb{E}\bigl[ f(X_1,\ldots,X_n) \bigr] = \mathbb{E}[ X_1 ] \, \mathbb{E} \bigl[ g(X_1,\ldots,X_n) \bigr]$$
In other words, if it is possible to find unbiased estimators of the product of the expectations of the two (non-independent!) random variables $X_1$ and $g(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ (both of which are $\sigma(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$-measurable), using only the $n$ samples $X_1,\ldots, X_n$.
Every fiber of my being tells me that this should not be possible but I have no idea how to even attack such a problem.

A: Counterexample: $n=1, g(x_1)=x_1$.
Then we have to find $f:\{0,1\}\to\mathbb{R}$ such that for every probability measure $\mathbb{P}$ on $(\{0,1\},2^{\{0,1\}})$ we have that
$$\mathbb{E}_{\mathbb{P}}(f(X_1))=\left(\mathbb{E}_{\mathbb{P}}(X_1)\right)^2.$$
Since every probability $\mathbb{P}$ on $(\{0,1\},2^{\{0,1\}})$ is fully determined by $\mathbb{P}(\{1\})$ and since varying $\mathbb{P}$ on the probability measures on $(\{0,1\},2^{\{0,1\}})$ we have that $\mathbb{P}(\{1\})$ varies in the whole $[0,1]$, the previous requirement is equivalent to
$$\forall p\in[0,1], f(0)(1-p)+f(1)p=p^2.$$
In this equality, pluggin $p=0$ we get that $f(0)=0$ and pluggin $p=1$ we get $f(1)=1$. However, if $p=1/2$ we get
$$f(0)(1-p)+f(1)p=0 \frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{1}{4}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=p^2$$

Q: angularjs http interceptor login pattern I'm using an angularjs http interceptor to check if the token is valid. If not, it redirects to a login page. But when a token is expired and a user was busy filling in a form for example, they will lose their work like this (redirecting to a login page when they click submit for example).
What I want is to re-do the last http action after they have logged in, or go back to where they were. I can think of many ways to tackle this problem but my question is if there's a pattern / common way of doing this in a client side web app like angularjs.

Amfar Gala raises 1.7 million in event honouring Jeremy Scott
By Rachel Douglass

A host of celebrities came out to show their support for the 2021 Amfar Gala, raising 1.7 million dollars for the organisation's HIV/AIDS research programme.
Moschino's Jeremy Scott was granted the Award of Courage by pop icon Madonna, recognising the designer's long-standing commitment to Amfar and the fight against AIDS. Madonna emphasised the importance of continuing to fight for the cause before passing the mic over to Scott for his acceptance speech.
"Even before there was the term ally, there was only one word that provided a safe haven for young gay boys like me, and that word was Madonna," said Scott, in his emotional speech. "On behalf of all the gay boys and gay girls who you made feel seen, appreciated and loved, I am so humbled to accept this honour from the most courageous woman I know."

In an interview on the event's black carpet before the show, Scott expressed how grateful he was for being recognised in such a way and extended further thanks to the 'Vogue' singer for being a part of the fight. The designer showed up to the event arm-in-arm with Brazilian singer Anitta sporting a spring 2022 Moschino gown.
As part of Amfar's live auction, a Moschino Lot was also available, consisting of 2022 Milan Fashion Week tickets and a custom gown. The package was sold for 250,000 dollars, the second largest bid on an item for the night.
Other exclusive items sold during the auction included a Chakra Yacht, an Ellen von Unwerth Madonna portrait and a ticket to Venice Film Festival.
Social media mega-influencer Addison Rae presented TikTok with an award recognising its visionary leadership and commitment to supporting communities during the covid-19 crisis, with Rae speaking on the impact the platform has had on educating and raising awareness in young people during the pandemic.
Alongside an open-air dinner, performances by OneRepublic and Bebe Rexha provided further entertainment for the celebrity-filled crowd, which included the likes of Megan Fox, Winnie Harlow, Paris Jackson and Nicole Kidman.

Q: can't extract module's Version DXL IBM DOORS I'm working on a DXL program in Doors which supposed to output to a csv file all of source module, target, linkset and version of each (source/target) modules. I've succeed to output "source module, target, linkset but I couldn't extract the version of modules. Does anyone know how to do it ?
Here is my code bellow:

A: The following uses an output file which is in C:\Temp, but you can easily change that.
it works by matching modules using a grep string, again which you can change to suit.
I have different module types, and therefore I can just get the results on the prefix 'STR' in this case.  I decided to have multiple scripts for different prefix modules, rather than dynamically pass the STR keyword.
You need to enter your folder and subfolders for the "modPathname"
then adjust the Regexp "GrepString" to suit your naming convention
alternatively you can bypass all this by hardcoding the values.
string      filename          = "C:\\TEMP\\STR_Baseline_Info.txt"
Stream      outFile           = write filename
string      Modtype           = "STR"

void PrintAndOutput ( string s)
{
    // print (s)    // Enable if you want output
    outFile << s
}

{

    Item        modItem
    Module      mName
    Regexp      GrepString        = regexp2 "^" Modtype "-[0-8][0-9][0-9]"

    string      fullModuleName , CommentStr , moduleName
    Baseline    b

    PrintAndOutput  "------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n"
    CommentStr = "This File is automatically produced via the " Modtype " Baseline Info.dxl script.  \n" Modtype " Versions as of :  " dateAndTime(today)   "\n"
    PrintAndOutput CommentStr
    PrintAndOutput  "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"

    for modItem in modPathname do
    {
        if  (type (modItem ) == "Formal")
        {
            moduleName = (name modItem)

            if (GrepString moduleName)
            {

                fullModuleName = (fullName(modItem))
                mName =  read(fullName modItem , false)

                b= getMostRecentBaseline (mName)

                if (b != null )
                {
                   PrintAndOutput  moduleName  "      -\tBaseline : "(major b)"."(minor b)(suffix b) "   \t " (dateOf b) "\n"
                }
                else
                {
                    PrintAndOutput  moduleName "       \t### No Baseline Information ### \t"  " \n"
                }

Heat Vision reports that the sequel to X-Men: First Class will begin shooting in January.
The decision by 20th Century Fox is partly to ensure that Jennifer Lawrence can participate in the sequel without it interfering with production on the sequel to The Hunger Games.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox was originally planning on filming the Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men follow-up this fall, which would have conflicted with Lawrence's Catching Fire, a movie Lionsgate is targeting for an August-September start date. If that had happened, however, Fox would have won out considering the studio would have been able to exercise the sequel option on her contract, which she signed before her Hunger Games deal.
Don't want any conflicts with Catching Fire…bad enough we gotta wait so long.

This week my husband will be out of town (he's on his way to cover the Saints in Miami), so we four girls are on our own. You never realize what your spouse really does until they're out of the picture for a few days. My husband does all the grocery shopping (mostly because he doesn't like me adding things like cleaning products to the cart), half of the driving of kids to schools and some of the cooking. I've already told my older girls that we'll be getting organized this weekend.
All the laundry has to be done and the outfits for me and the youngest will be ironed and chosen for the week. I have to have her at her friend's house every morning for 7:15 in order to get to school and since I already hate being up early, the more organized we are, the longer I can sleep.
We'll make three or four extra dinners this weekend, so that we'll only have to reheat during the week, and one day I'll take the girls out or bring food home. My mom will help out on those days when I have class, and my oldest will slip into Dad's shoes for evening pick-ups.
So let's all take a deep breath and get ready for next week!! Go Saints!

Increases of acid in bloodstream (metabolic acidosis). If left untreated, metabolic acidosis can cause brittle or soft bones (osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteopenia), kidney stones, can slow the rate of growth in children, and may possibly harm your baby if you are pregnant. Metabolic acidosis can happen with or without symptoms. Sometimes people with metabolic acidosis will: feel tired, not feel hungry (loss of appetite), feel changes in heartbeat, or have trouble thinking clearly. Your healthcare provider should do a blood test to measure the level of acid in your blood before and during your treatment with Qsymia.

Cancer, a very common and sometimes fatal cause of unexplained (idiopathic) weight loss. About one-third of unintentional weight loss cases are secondary to malignancy. Cancers to suspect in patients with unexplained weight loss include gastrointestinal, prostate, hepatobiliary (hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer), ovarian, hematologic or lung malignancies.
Rāmānuja (1017–1137 CE) is of the most important theologians of Bhakti yoga, breaking with the Advaita tradition's absolute nondualism and instead arguing for a "qualified nondualism" (Viśiṣṭādvaita) which allows for a certain difference between atman and Brahman and thus it provides a strong theological foundation for devotional theism.[263] Another influential figure of this tradition is Madhva (1238–1317 CE), who argued for a form of dualism between God and soul.
During the period between the Mauryan and the Gupta eras (c. 200 BCE–500 CE) the Indic traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism were taking form and coherent systems of yoga began to emerge.[50] This period witnessed many new texts from these traditions discussing and systematically compiling yoga methods and practices. Some key works of this era include the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, the Yoga-Yājñavalkya, the Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra and the Visuddhimagga.
The focus of public health interventions is to prevent and manage diseases, injuries and other health conditions through surveillance of cases and the promotion of healthy behavior, communities, and (in aspects relevant to human health) environments. Its aim is to prevent health problems from happening or re-occurring by implementing educational programs, developing policies, administering services and conducting research.[53] In many cases, treating a disease or controlling a pathogen can be vital to preventing it in others, such as during an outbreak. Vaccination programs and distribution of condoms to prevent the spread of communicable diseases are examples of common preventive public health measures, as are educational campaigns to promote vaccination and the use of condoms (including overcoming resistance to such).
Genetics, or inherited traits from parents, also play a role in determining the health status of individuals and populations. This can encompass both the predisposition to certain diseases and health conditions, as well as the habits and behaviors individuals develop through the lifestyle of their families. For example, genetics may play a role in the manner in which people cope with stress, either mental, emotional or physical. For example, obesity is a significant problem in the United States that contributes to bad mental health and causes stress in the lives of great numbers of people.[31] (One difficulty is the issue raised by the debate over the relative strengths of genetics and other factors; interactions between genetics and environment may be of particular importance.)

Maskless moms kicked out of Volusia school board meeting
By Samantha Sosa
FOX 35 Orlando
Mom dragged out of school board meeting
Several mothers in Volusia County were removed from a school board meeting on Tuesday after refusing to wear masks.
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - Several mothers in Volusia County were removed from a school board meeting on Tuesday after refusing to wear masks.
Rachael Cohen was captured on video being dragged out of the meeting by a police officer.
"They slammed the door in my face and I tried to open it again," she said. "Then Tia came out and they were shoving her out the door, and it was like, where do we live right now? Is this 2020 America? Because it feels like 1930 Germany right now."

Cohen and others went to the meeting to make a public comment against the school district's mask policy. The school district later voted unanimously to extend its mask policy for students until further notice.
A total of 8 mothers were removed from the meeting. Some of them were issued trespass violations.
"The parents have the sovereign right to their children and making health care choices for their children. The children also have a right and responsibility to go to their public school and this is a gross overreach of their power," said Rebecca Sarwi about the school board.
School Board Chair Ida Wright says the women were asked to comply with the mask rule inside the building, or leave several times.

The school district said: "They were willfully violating the school board's policy on face coverings. They were asked several times to comply and then became disruptive, which delayed the start of the board meeting for over one hour. Police were called to assist because they refused to leave when they were trespassed."
Wright added the school district has jurisdiction to create its own policies involving masks.
"This is America. We want them to be engaged in the process, we want them to be engaged in their children's learning, but there are policies and procedures. And the policies are set forth not to just protect them, but everyone involved," said Chairwoman Wright.
The mothers involved are not allowed on property for a year.

About Juliana
About Chinese Medicine
Pricing & Insurance
Juliana (she/her) left the world of advertising and graphic design in 2005 to pursue the call to heal others, and became a successful Massage Therapist. Then in 2007, after experiencing an acupuncture treatment that provided great relief for a bout of sciatica (pain down the leg) she became fascinated by acupuncture and took the leap to study the art and science of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
While in school for TCM she concurrently became a Certified Life Coach using the Co-Active Coaching method, adding to her healer tool kit. After five years of rigorous study at the prestigious American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including two externships learning to treat stroke and brain injuries at California Pacific Medical Center - Davies Campus, she became a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in 2012.
She spent two years working at Chinese Hospital in San Francisco, honing her skills working with complex cases. Concurrently, she began her private practice in San Francisco and after moving to the East Bay in 2014 she opened her doors in Downtown Berkeley, where she currently practices.
She mainly uses a Japanese style acupuncture technique called "Kiiko Matsumoto Style", and in 2019 she received her Certificate of Completion in the KMS style continuing education curriculum. Juliana has gravitated to this style for it's ability to provide instant feedback that the treatment is working, the gentle needling techniques, and of course - because it is the most profoundly effective style of acupuncture she has experienced and practiced thus far.
When not poking people to wellness, Juliana loves hanging with her friends, hiking the trails at Tilden and Sibley, biking the Berkeley waterfront, making jewelry from found sea glass, creating calligraphic art, geeking out on Classical Chinese Medicine theory, meditating, praying, and finding the balance between stillness and movement.


For years we've had members of the JUMPS Team on the show, used their insight to help discuss various phenomena and generally referenced their investigations but until now we've never dug deep into the JUMPS case files. This week, in addition to Doug and Mellie we're also joined by Catrena Clair and Tiffany and BJ Hoffman, fellow JUMPS team members who complete our roundtable discussion about their investigations in places like Gettysburg, Cape May County among others. Paranews includes stories of alien infested real estate, the true power of the spoken word and more!!

After just a handful of washes, Nate Checketts' wife couldn't bear the stench any longer.
Checketts, who was once employed with the National Football League, would routinely leave the office with workout apparel freebies; the same gear some of the best athletes in the world would wear during training sessions.
The crusade against odor-causing bacteria underpins the company Checketts would go on to found, Rhone. Rhone sells premium odor-fighting activewear to ambitious men who ultimately perceive the apparel as extensions of themselves that help them perform at a higher level.
The company grew 500% year-over-year recently and powered 3D customer experiences by blending intelligent ecommerce with physical pop-up stores. Rhone was even recognized by GQ as having the best premium anti-odor technology on the market; topping industry giants like Lululemon.
Still, Checketts and the team weren't satisfied. They wanted to strike gold, literally. If it works, Rhone will owe a huge debt of gratitude to the nasty diseases that kill our food crops. Here's why.
They're invisible killers. Every year, a myriad of diseases gnaw away at the nation's crops, killing much of the corn, wheat, and soybeans that feed the world. The culprit behind much of this devastation?
Turns out, it's often the same thing that makes our gym clothes reek: bacteria.
It's no surprise then that Checketts and a biochemist developing nanoparticle technology designed to neutralize the bacteria killing our farm crops immediately hit it off.
The weapon of choice: gold.
The pair immediately saw a connection and began testing whether the technology being used to ward off crop disease might also be applied to textiles to create an even more effective anti-odor solution than Rhone was already offering.
"There's nothing else like this on the market," says Chip Malt, Rhone's VP of Marketing & Analytics.
Here's why: nanoparticles tend to bind better to apparel than other types of anti-odor agents. Separately, Rhone's solution is infused into entire rolls of their activewear fabrics at the production phase and offer spot-free coverage versus competing spray-on solutions. Other spray technologies tend to be applied after a garment is made and can result in missed spots that become prime breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria.
But it's the company's ears that have made it a customer favorite and allowed it to pose a significant challenge to the industry behemoths with which it competes.
The data derived from listening to customers, especially in the case of the lifestyle quiz, allows the company to better design and market its products. However, the way Rhone listens to customers goes beyond traditional ecommerce tactics.
In fact, the company's size allows it to listen one-on-one.
Rhone's narrow focus on the customer experience and innovating with product lines like GoldFusion is powered in part by its ecommerce platform, Shopify Plus, an enterprise ecommerce solution for high volume merchants. Instead of sinking time and treasure into design and development, Rhone relies on Shopify's out-of-the-box capability and easy integration with third-party applications to power its store and allow employees to focus exclusively on innovation and customer satisfaction.
Expect the company's bet on gold not only to drive future growth but also be a personal source of pride for the brand.
But the company may also be on the verge of solving another major problem plaguing many ecommerce apparel merchants; friction in the conversion process.
"GoldFusion is the future of our Company," says Malt.
Despite boasting of an industry low return rate, Rhone is experimenting with ways to do even better. To bridge the gap between purchasing online and in store where shoppers can first try on apparel, Rhone is partnering with Try.com, a service that allows shoppers to try apparel from their favorite merchants for free.
Rhone is currently testing whether offering a Try Button is effective in de-risking the purchasing decision and embracing returns as an avenue to sell consumers additional items.
It means Rhone's GoldFusion, which is already odor free, may soon be something you can try risk-free.

Multiply is another social networking service. A big crowd from Orkut is migrating over there. Some of them also use dotnode, tribe, and friendster - some people like to try everything or do it as research. But several people are switching for the sole reason that Orkut's servers can't handle the load - they are victims of their own success.
It's fun to watch the early adopters playing with this new tool. John Perry Barlow is already on there and has 131 contacts and, of course, they all look like very interesting people. Multiply uses different paradigms than Orkut, but has the primarily the same services. The groups/communities of special interest are still pretty small - I don't know when it was launched.
UPDATE - 8/18/04 - I just noticed that JPB deleted his Multiply account. It may have to do with some of the scuttlebut going around that Multiply claims rights to all the content you post. Also, another thing I didn't like about Multiply is, if someone is your friend, they can automatically see your email address. Dinah Sanders had an interesting post questioning their integrity/intentions on August 15th and others have blogged about it also. My personal take on it is that they're just sloppy. Either way, I don't think their product is all that great.
