I May Not Know Arte, but I Know What I Like: "Commedia Dell'arte," at St. Ambrose University, and April 25 and 26 at Additional Davenport Venues
By Thom White
St. Ambrose University's Commedia Dell'arte, which closed its one-weekend run on April 19 *, was like nothing I'd previously seen on a local stage. Director/writer Daniel Rairdin-Hale and composer Dillon Rairdin put together a production that felt like a sequence of sketch-comedy bits and musical numbers, but one linked by a story about a mistaken romance forbidden by two fathers. Servants step in to help the young lovers, and hilarity ensued by way of juggling, dancing, singing, the playing of instruments, and comical gags both aural and physical, with most of the actors performing in mask.
Send in the Clowns. And the Acrobats. And the Musicians. And ... . : Daniel Rairdin-Hale Directs "Commedia Dell'arte," April 17 through 19 at St. Ambrose University, and April 25 and 26 at Additional Davenport Venues
Originated in Italy in the 16th Century, the theatrical form commedia dell'arte traditionally finds a group of actors participating in a comedic scenario featuring slapstick conceits called mécanisme. And for his original commedia dell'arte presentation at St. Ambrose University, one fittingly titled Commedia Dell'arte, director Daniel Rairdin-Hale insists that he and his cast have come up with some mécanisme doozies.
The Wind in Their Sales: "Glengarry Glen Ross," at St. Ambrose University through February 22
Glengarry Glen Ross was my introduction to the writing of David Mamet, with the 1992 film version of his play marking my first exposure to his work. Awestruck, I fell in love with Mamet's vulgar, layered, verbose style, which made it difficult for me to go into St. Ambrose University's new production without high expectations. Fortunately, though, director Corinne Johnson and her cast and crew - particularly set designer Kris Eitrheim - get it mostly right.
Undoing the Arab Spring: Amaney A. Jamal, February 9 at St. Ambrose University
By Jeff Ignatius
Since 2005, the Arab Barometer project that Amaney A. Jamal co-founded has interviewed ordinary people in the Arab world about their views on (according to ArabBarometer.org) "governance, political life, and political, social, and cultural values."
So Jamal had extraordinary insight into the Arab Spring that began in 2010, and its aftermath. In a phone interview last week, she said she had seen the seeds of change but didn't know if or when they would blossom. "It was very clear and obvious in our public-opinion polls that the status quo was not sustainable," she said. "That the levels of frustration, the levels of mass discontent with the status quo were there. What was not clear was whether ... there was going to be some sort of trigger to bring it all down."
Jamal will present "The Arab Spring: Did All Go Wrong?" - St. Ambrose University's Folwell Lecture in Political Science & Pre-Law - on February 9, and the answer to that question should be obvious enough to anybody who pays attention to international news.
Small Solutions for a Big Problem: Sheryl WuDunn on the Oppression of Women, October 21 at St. Ambrose University
The 2009 book Half the Sky is filled with stories that are heartbreaking and inspiring - and often both. The Pulitzer Prize-winning husband-and-wife team of Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn gives you precisely what you'd expect from a book subtitled Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. There are lots of anecdotes supporting the idea that women across the globe face horrific violence, discrimination, and marginalization. That's countered by personal stories that provide hope for change. And both are supported by statistics and academic studies.
"We think that one of the greatest moral challenges of our time is the gender inequality and the brutality that many women and girls face around the world because of their gender," said WuDunn - who will present a lecture version of the book on October 21 at St. Ambrose University - in a recent phone interview. "We also think one of the most effective ways to address a lot of the inequality is through educating girls and bringing them into the formal labor force ... . And we talk about a lot of these issues by telling stories of women who have been facing these challenges, and of other women and men who have come up with solutions."
But the book is also surprising - in ways that are both very small and very big.
Job Shadowing: "Working," at St. Ambrose University through October 5
The cast members in St. Ambrose University's production of Working offer a somewhat unexpected and altogether delightful sincerity in their portrayals of American workers in various trades. These young actors, after all, presumably don't have much, if any, career experience as full-time masons, receptionists, or prostitutes, among other professions. Yet they handle this musical as though possessing full knowledge of the experiences of the average worker, which, during Wednesday's dress rehearsal, helped me connect with the oftentimes funny, sometimes touching material.

Personal Science: Sandra Steingraber, October 22 at St. Ambrose University
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor and doctorate degrees in biology and a master's in creative writing. "I had long been a biologist by day and poet by night," she said in a phone interview earlier this month. "I kind of kept my writing world and my science world separate."
And that was her intention when she set out to write the book that would become Living Downstream. "It was going to represent my best attempt as a biologist to summarize the links between cancer and the environment," she said.
But the poet in her ended up transforming the project into something unusual: a deeply personal story intertwined with a scientific one, as Steingraber discusses her own cancer in the context of the troubling relationship between chemical pollution and the disease. The hook of the book, she said, is "the life behind one of the data points in the cancer registry, namely my own."
Steingraber will be speaking at St. Ambrose University on October 22 as part of the school's Sustainability Project, which includes events throughout the academic year. Her lecture, she said, will apply the "conceptual theme" of Living Downstream (originally published in 1997, with a second edition and film adaptation released in 2010) to fracking - induced hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas and petroleum.
Beauty from Different Angles: Ethel, April 12 at St. Ambrose's Rogalski Center
The string quartet Ethel refers to itself as a "band" and uses amplified classical instruments and improvisation. It's called a "post-classical" ensemble, and the group has toured with Todd Rundgren and appeared on guitarist/songwriter/singer Kaki King's 2012 album Glow.
Ethel is the very definition of "crossover," and if all that doesn't scare you, try this sample from Pitchfork.com's (strongly positive) review of Heavy, its 2012 record: "The violins peel off into glass shards, and the cello starts moaning. It's a relief from the opening melee, but only insofar as scalp-prickling fear that there is a serial killer lurking in your home is technically preferable to the certainty of being stabbed to death."
At Ethel's April 12 performance at St. Ambrose University, don't expect quite that level of eclecticism. Or violence.
But the Present Beauty program Ethel will play still covers plenty of territory on the theme of "what it is to experience beauty from different angles," said violinist Tema Watstein in a phone interview last month.
"A Real Renaissance Man": St. Ambrose Art Professor Leslie Bell (Sort of) Retires After 38 Years
One minute, St. Ambrose art professor Leslie Bell is talking about his paintings - mostly allegorical scenes featuring women and girls. The next minute he's talking about his students - especially the female ones - without having shifted gears.
"On a really basic level, I'm trying to kindle a spark of quirky individuality in each person I paint," he said in an interview last week. "I don't want them to come across as generic. And ... through body language, environment, to a lesser extent facial expression - because my characters tend to be a little bit on the deadpan side - even fashion or dress ... I want to communicate a kind of self-made-ness."
He then says he doesn't want to be cheesy - the simplistic idea that girls can be carpenters or play chess: "I want it to be more what we deal with everyday in the studio, which is following what you're interested in, sort out the 'should' voice in you ... , acknowledge that there is peer pressure and that there are societal pressures and that there are laws, but then make as much use of the freedoms that you have to cultivate your interests, develop your interests, don't be ashamed to be an intellectual, fight me as a professor ... ."
One can see that shift happening even more quickly here, in a single sentence: "I want my work to be really affirmative of women's and girls' abilities to create themselves, to stick to their own ideals, to find ways of proving to whoever might be skeptical of what it is to be a woman artist or just a woman that there are as many paths to maturity as there are people attempting to mature."
This conflation is illuminating, as Bell's artistic interest in female experience and identity seems inseparable from his teaching responsibility to help young artists develop their own voices. He notes that well over half of the students in the St. Ambrose art department are women, and it's easy to infer that his painting is akin to homework, a way to develop empathy and connections with his female students. They're also a way of leading by example, of showing through art a path to authenticity.


Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and City of Seattle sign settlement agreement, resolving lawsuit over city's plans for Cedar River Watershed, on July 6, 2006.
On July 6, 2006, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the City of Seattle sign the Muckleshoot Settlement Agreement. The agreement resolves the issues raised in a 2003 lawsuit challenging the city's Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan and other conflicts over the tribe's treaty rights. Filed after the National Marine Fisheries Service issued permits for the City of Seattle's water system and hydropower operations on the Cedar River, the tribe's lawsuit challenged the legality of allowing "incidental take" of endangered chinook salmon and the adequacy of the accompanying habitat-conservation plan for the Cedar River Watershed. The city and tribe entered negotiations in 2004 and eventually worked out a settlement addressing issues raised in the lawsuit and other longstanding disputes related to treaty rights. The city agreed to limit water taken from the Cedar, transfer some of its perfected water rights in the river to the State Water Trust, replace the Landsburg sockeye hatchery (or pay an equivalent amount for mitigation to enhance fish habitat), and allow tribal access to the long-closed watershed for hunting, gathering, and other traditional activities. In return, the tribe agreed to withdraw its objection to the incidental-take permit and the habitat-conservation plan.
The City of Seattle began diverting water from the Cedar River in 1901. At the Landsburg Diversion, below Cedar Falls, river water entered pipes that carried the water into town. The city could store water in Cedar Lake (later Chester Morse Lake) upstream of the diversion and, later, also in Lake Youngs (formerly Swan Lake) downstream from Landsburg. While this proved to be a brilliant solution to supplying Seattle's population with water, it had a tremendous impact on the Cedar River watershed.
The diversion of water to the city's pipes diminished the river's instream flow downstream from Landsburg. Also, to continuously operate electricity-generating turbines at the city's Cedar Falls hydropower plant and to ensure a regular flow of drinking water to the city, the water department released water from Chester Morse Lake at a steady flow. This contrasted significantly with the previous seasonal variation of instream flows resulting from heavy rains or the region's annual summer drought.
The city's diversion dam, which funneled water into the system's pipes, blocked salmon from 17 miles of the upper river, between the diversion and Cedar Falls. Their absence altered the ecosystem of that area by removing important sources of nutrients -- spawned-out salmon carcasses and young salmon. At the time it was built, in 1901, officials feared that allowing salmon above the intake would pollute or alter the taste of the city's drinking water, so no fish passage was built.
For the most part, humans were also excluded from the watershed above the diversion dam. While logging continued in the watershed for several decades, it was tightly controlled. The exclusion applied to the Muckleshoot, whose ancestors lived in and traveled through the watershed for thousands of years. The tribes that make up the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe today had lived along the rivers, creeks, and lakes and traveled over Yakima Pass to Eastern Washington to trade and to socialize with family and friends on the Columbia Plateau. They had also traditionally hunted, fished, and gathered a wide array of animal and plant species within the watershed.
The City of Seattle operated the Cedar River water system for nearly a century to meet its residents' needs for drinking water and electric power. Forested areas in the watershed, after most of it had been cut over once, were closed to further logging to protect water quality. In 1998, the federal government listed chinook salmon under the Endangered Species Act. This triggered a series of regulatory requirements that would ultimately lead to the Muckleshoot Settlement Agreement in 2006.
Because operation of the water diversion at Landsburg resulted in the "take," or loss, of endangered chinook salmon, the city had to obtain an "incidental-take" permit from the National Marine Fisheries Service. And to obtain a permit, the city was required create a habitat-conservation plan for the Cedar River Watershed. The plan had to outline measures the city would take to reduce impact of the water system's operations on chinook salmon. The city worked with state and federal fisheries agencies and with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to develop the plan.
However, the plan proposed by the city was criticized by environmental groups and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. They believed that the minimum instream flows allowed by the plan would cause excessive harm to fish populations. Also, they felt the plan allowed the city to take more water from the river than needed. As Charlie Raines of the Sierra Club told The Seattle Times, "We want to know the water is going to a worthwhile purpose and not just to water big lawns" ("Panel OKs New Habitat Plan ...").
In early 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service approved the habitat-conservation plan and issued an incidental-take permit, along with other permits needed by the city to carry out water-system operations. That September, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe filed a notice that it would seek to have the permit reviewed in federal court if specified legal issues were not addressed. Those issues were not addressed to the satisfaction of the tribe and a suit was filed against the National Marine Fisheries Service challenging the habitat-conservation plan and incidental-take permit in December 2003.
The City of Seattle intervened in the case in March 2004 and the city and the tribe entered into settlement discussions. During the meetings, the city and tribe agreed to expand the issues on the table to include other treaty-related disputes regarding the Cedar River Watershed. These included the tribe's claim that hunting, gathering, and other traditional cultural activities should be allowed in the watershed because, when they signed the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, the tribes had reserved rights to "hunting and gathering roots and berries on open and unclaimed lands" ("Treaty of Point Elliott, 1855").
By early 2006, the city and tribe had worked out a settlement agreement. The plan addressed instream-flow levels, salmon-hatchery operations, tribal access to the watershed, compensation for the tribe, and a framework for cooperation between the city and the tribe. The city's announcement of the agreement stated that it "provides certainty for the region's water quality and quantity and a cooperative relationship between the city and the tribe" ("City of Seattle, Muckleshoot Tribe Reach ...").
The city agreed to limits on the maximum average annual amount of water it could divert and to transfer the portion of its perfected water-right claim that was more than 124 million gallons per day, averaged annually, to the State Water Trust. That water could then be used to maintain instream flow in the Cedar River. This allowed the city to avoid abandoning that portion of the water right, which would have affected its entire perfected water-right claim.
The agreement called for the transfer of more than 1,300 acres of land to the tribe. The acreage included a parcel near Yakima Pass, one on the North Fork of the Green River, one on MacDonald Mountain, and another along the White River.
Tribal members gained access to the watershed for hunting, gathering, and other traditional cultural activities. The tribe and city agreed to work together to manage wildlife, with the tribe to ensure that its members' activities did not harm water quality or forest health. The settlement called for the tribe and city to carry out a 10-year wildlife study to gather information about wildlife populations and how they function within the watershed. The agreement included a handful of provisions related to operation of an interim hatchery at Landsburg and construction of a permanent hatchery and its operation or funds in lieu of its construction and operation. The city and the tribe agreed that the tribe should become a party to the Landsburg Mitigation Agreement, which specifically addressed fish populations in the upper river.
The agreement established the Joint City Tribal Policy Commission, made up of the director of Seattle Public Utilities and the director of the Muckleshoot Tribal Fisheries Commission. The agreement mandated that the commission meet once per year to assess the operations outlined in the agreement, and allowed the commission to address other issues that might arise regarding the watershed. The treaty of Point Elliott had established a government-to-government relationship between the tribes and the federal government. Other levels of government, such as the state, counties, and cities, did not have a similar legal relationship with tribes. The State of Washington had declared its intention to work with tribes on a government-to-government basis with the signing of the Centennial Accord in 1989, and reaffirmed it with the Millennium Agreement, signed in 1999. The Muckleshoot Settlement Agreement provided an opportunity to develop a similar model for Seattle.
When the public reviewed the Muckleshoot Settlement Agreement, a number of concerns were raised. Some objections involved misunderstandings related to the tribe's role in the watershed. Commenters feared that the tribe would carry out full-scale logging, but the agreement limited its timber removal to downed wood and a "limited amount of live wood for traditional uses by Tribal members" (Muckleshoot Settlement Agreement, 26). Some public commenters expressed concerns about the hatchery and how hatchery fish affect wild fish stocks. Others challenged the watershed access granted to the tribe, arguing that the public good realized by strict protection of the water supply from human influences outweighed the tribe's treaty rights.
The city council and tribal government approved the agreement and it was signed on July 6, 2006. The city, state, and tribe began the collaborative process of implementing its provisions. A fish passage at Landsburg had been completed in 2003 and salmon were again using the upper river for spawning. The called-for wildlife studies progressed and tribal members had access to the watershed for the first time in more than a century.

Q: Создание массива из чисел, делящихся на К int k = 10;
int n = 4;
int a[] = new int[n];
for (int i = 20; i < a.length; i++) {
    for (i = 10; i < 100; i++) {
        if (a[i] % k == 0)
            System.out.println(a[i]);
}

Нужно создать массив, состоящий из элементов, которые делятся на число K. Допустим, K равно 10.
Как это сделать? Надо ли "открыть" цикл тут или нет, чтобы код заработал?

A: Для получения чисел, кратных k, достаточно перемножить k на числа от 1 до n (включительно) и сохранить результаты умножения в массив:
int k = 10;
int n = 4;
int[] result = new int[n];
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    result[i - 1] = k * i;

Или с использованием IntStream:
int k = 10;
int n = 4;
int[] result = IntStream.range(1, n + 1).map(e -> e * k).toArray();

Если результирующие числа должны начинаться с определённого числа minNumber (например, со 100, то есть с трёхзначного), то можно заранее посчитать значение первого элемента (firstNumber):
int k = 10;
int n = 4;
int minNumber = 100;
int firstNumber = minNumber % k == 0 ? minNumber : minNumber + k - minNumber % k;
int[] result = new int[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    result[i] = firstNumber + k * i;

https://str.sg/JxnS
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - LeBron James missed a game-tying layup with just seconds remaining as the Los Angeles Lakers suffered an upset 104-102 defeat to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday (March 10).
James looked poised to force overtime at the Staples Center as he drove towards the basket with the Nets holding a two-point lead.
But James fluffed his effort and then Anthony Davis missed an open three-pointer as Brooklyn held on for a win that ended the Lakers' four-game winning streak.
It was a dramatic finale to a see-saw battle between the Western Conference-leading Lakers, who have already clinched a postseason berth, and the Nets, who occupy the last of the Eastern Conference playoff spots.
James led the scoring for the Lakers with 29 points and 12 rebounds with nine assists, while Davis finished with 26 points.
Brooklyn however proved equal to the challenge with Spencer Dinwiddie adding 23 points and Caris LeVert 22 in a dogged Nets performance.
Elsewhere Tuesday, Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and Gordon Hayward finished with a double-double as the Boston Celtics punched their ticket to the playoffs with a 114-111 win over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.
Tatum made 11 of 22 shots from the field including a trio of three-pointers as Boston dug in for the win after twice letting big leads slip late in the game.
The Celtics looked to be cruising towards the playoffs after opening up a 16-point early in the fourth quarter But a late Pacers rally led by Victor Oladipo closed the gap to 104-101 before T.J. Warren levelled with a three-pointer.
Domantas Sabonis made it 106-104 to Indiana with a driving layup and drew a foul to add a free throw for a three-point lead.
Boston however finished strongly with Marcus Smart leading the fightback to set up the Celtics win.

Hayward's double-double included 27 points and 10 rebounds. The Celtics join the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers as teams who have confirmed their place in the playoffs.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens was relieved to see his team dig in for the victory after blowing their fourth quarter lead.
"We probably needed it," Stevens said. "We needed something like that to happen - go down by three and then find a way to win.
"It's probably a good thing for our team in the long run. We've got to get better in the middle of quarters and at the end of quarters but we probably needed that tonight. It was hard and that's a good thing.
"We've been really good for the most part in the fourth quarter. For whatever reason we just haven't been as good lately, let some leads slip away. I was glad we found a way to win tonight."
The Celtics are now third in the Eastern Conference behind the Bucks and the Raptors with 43 wins against 21 losses.
The Pacers are fifth in the East with a 39-26 record.
Elsewhere Tuesday, the Houston Rockets maintained their playoff push with a 117-111 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Toyota Center.
James Harden and Russell Westbrook were the standouts for Houston, with 37 points and 27 points respectively.
Point guard D'Angelo Russell led the scoring for Minnesota with 28 points. The Rockets are sixth in the Western Conference with 40 wins and 24 losses.
In other games, the Golden State Warriors were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after being routed 131-107 by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Kawhi Leonard had 23 points for the Clippers in the win, which left the Warriors languishing at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with 15 wins against 49 defeats.

Q: Help with a limit involving incomplete beta integral In trying to prove that the limit of a certain function approaches 1 as the  positive integer parameter $n$ approaches infinity, I have ended up with the following intermediate expressions:
$$f(n)=2^{1+2n}B_{1/2}(n,n+2)$$
$$g(n)=4^nB_{1/2}(n+1,n)$$
$$ h(n)=n(n-1)/2 \left( \frac{f(n)}{n+1}-\frac{g(n)}{n-1}\right)$$
Can somebody kindly help me with the evaluation of $ \lim_{n \to \infty} h(n)$? If somebody could also plug it in Mathematica, I would be highly obliged. Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S.: In the above the notation $B_z(a,b)$ stands for the incomplete beta function defined by:
$$B_z(a,b)=\int\limits_0^z u^{a-1}(1-u)^{b-1} \mathrm{d}u.$$

A: Using the substitution $u=(1-s)/2$ in the relevant integrals $\int_0^{1/2} u^{a-1}(1-u)^{b-1} \,du$, then using the substitution $s^2=t$, and finally noting that $\Gamma(x+1/2)/\Gamma(x)\sim\sqrt x$ as $x\to\infty$, we have
$$h(n)=\frac n{2(n+1)}\,\int_0^1 ds\,(1 - s^2)^{n - 1} ((n - 1) s^2 + (3 n - 1) s - 2) \\
=\frac n{8(n+1)}\,{\left(6-\frac2n-\frac{3 \sqrt{\pi }\, \Gamma (n+2)}{n\Gamma
   \left(n+3/2\right)}\right)}\to\frac68$$
as $n\to\infty$.

A: The blue line is the numerical evaluation of $h(n)$, the gold line is
$$H(n)=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3 \sqrt{\pi } n \Gamma (n)}{8 \Gamma \left(n+\frac{3}{2}\right)}\rightarrow \frac{3}{4}$$

A: Python gives values upto $n=1000$. Values of $h(n)$ for $997 \leq n \leq 1000$ are $f(997)= 0.728174227325497 ,f(998)=0.7281857363386501 ,f(999)= 0.7281972275318511 ,f(1000)=0.7282087009506559$. Also, $f(900)=0.7269653136612485 $

Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending (2015)
"Expand your universe."
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Director: The Wachowskis
Cast: Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne
Synopsis: A young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry.
Watch this and other movies on Sky Cinema
For Jupiter Ascending, their biggest flop to date, the Wachowskis raid the set-up from The Matrix, their biggest hit, swapping cute but wooden Keanu Reeves for cute but wooden Mila Kunis (Friends With Benefits, Ted) and off-loading the metaphysical philosophy. In The Matrix, Thomas A. Anderson was a computer programmer who searched for something he couldn't define in cyberspace before being whisked off to a world beyond his imagination, while in Jupiter Ascending, Jupiter Jones cleans toilets and, like the father she never knew, seeks solace in the stars – or, at least she would if she could afford a damn telescope – before being whisked, etc, etc.
The world to which Jupiter is whisked by Caine Wise (Channing Tatum – 21 Jump Street, This is the End), a genetically engineered wolf/man hybrid in hover boots, looks spectacular, but it's really pretty dull. The war waged by two siblings over their dead mother's legacy – a planet called Earth – is deflected by the fact that, for a reason never satisfactorily explained, modest little Jupiter is actually next in line to inherit. Balem, the oldest sibling, played by Eddie Redmayne with all the louche insouciance of an opium den regular, tries to have her killed as she sells her eggs for cash on Earth. Forced to fall back on more subtle measures, younger brother Titus (Douglas Booth) – a kind of space playboy – tries to trick Jupiter into marriage so that, after doing away with her, he can claim the Earth for himself. Why are they both so keen to own a troublesome planet with a leaky roof and dodgy heating? Business, of course – what else?
There's a depressing sense of calculation about Jupiter Ascending that we don't expect from the Wachowskis; it's as if they listed all the required ingredients for a space opera and ticked them off one by one. The megalomaniac villain, the vulnerable princess, the dashing hero, they're all present and correct. The action sequences are equidistantly spaced to prevent us from growing bored by the pedestrian storyline, and the violence is carefully modulated in order to obtain that all-important 12A certificate. It all looks very slick and professional, but it's also empty and soulless, with no hint of the kind of creative investment the Wachowskis put into The Matrix.
This creative ennui also extends to Jupiter Ascending's lead characters. Jupiter and Caine have to be two of the dullest creatures you are ever likely to encounter in a movie. They lack any kind of sexual chemistry, which just reinforces the by-the-numbers feel as they inevitably edge closer to a final-reel romance. Jupiter is also one of the most passive heroines to grace our screens in many a year, constantly needing to be rescued by Caine until she has no option but to fight back in her final showdown with the insipid Balem, who, although played with languid laissez-faire by Redmayne, is ironically the only character that possesses a spark of life.
Although Jupiter Ascending is by no means a disaster, it does feel like the work of people who feel compelled to emulate the unique piece of work upon which their reputation was built rather than following their own impulses. One can't help wondering whether a move away from the genre might help revive the Wachowskis' creative spark.

Q: CSS child selector not working - all decendants of the type affected I am building a menu with nested lists. I used a child selector (#menu-novo li:hover > ul) in order to show/hide only immediate decendents, but it still shows all of them. Any help with this?

#menu-novo-container {
  font-family: tahoma, Arial, helvetica, Serif;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

#menu-novo {
 border: 3px solid green;
}

.menu-novo-item {
  border: 3px solid white;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.menu-novo-link {
  border: 3px solid yellow;
}

.menu-novo-submenu {
  border: 3px solid red;
  display: none;

#menu-novo li:hover > ul {

.menu-novo-link {
  display: block;
}

1.4

1.4.1

1.4.2

1.4.3

I guess this will receive a ton of downvotes because it has been asked already, but other posts don't help my case and I'm getting desperate here :)

A: If I understood your question, you first need to set display: none for second level ul and then display: block on hover of second level li
#menu-novo li ul li ul {
   display: none;
}

#menu-novo li ul li:hover ul{
   display: block;
}

#menu-novo-container {
  font-family: tahoma, Arial, helvetica, Serif;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

#menu-novo {
  border: 3px solid green;

.menu-novo-item {
  border: 3px solid white;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.menu-novo-link {
  border: 3px solid yellow;
}

.menu-novo-submenu {
  border: 3px solid red;
  display: none;
}

#menu-novo li:hover > ul {
  display: block;
}

.menu-novo-link {

#menu-novo li ul li ul {

Hope this helps

A: You have added same classes for nested li and ul, so that add different classes for that

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding-left:0;
}
#menu-novo-container {
  font-family: tahoma, Arial, helvetica, Serif;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
#menu-novo {
  border: 3px solid green;
}
.menu-novo-item {
  border: 3px solid white;
  cursor: pointer;
}
.menu-novo-link {
  border: 3px solid yellow;
}
.menu-novo-submenu {
  border: 3px solid red;
}
.menu-novo-submenu.child1,
#menu-novo > li:hover > ul.child1 li .child2 {
  display:none;
}
#menu-novo > li:hover > ul.child1,
#menu-novo > li:hover > ul.child1 li:hover .child2 {
  display: block;
}
.menu-novo-link {
  display: block;
}

A:

#menu-novo-container {

  border: 1px solid red;
}

#menu-novo {
  border: 3px solid green;
}

.menu-novo-item {
  border: 3px solid white;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.menu-novo-link {
  border: 3px solid yellow;
}

#menu-novo li>ul {
  border: 3px solid red;
  display: none;
}

#menu-novo li:hover>ul {
  display: block;
}

.menu-novo-link {
  display: block;
}

A: Its showing all of ul because you have not hide (display: none;) for children ul.
So add below missing css and should work:
#menu-novo li ul {
    display:none;
}

#menu-novo li:hover > ul {
    display: block;
}


News and insights on governance, risk and compliance.
Hello. The latest system outage at Wells Fargo & Co. is expected to raise more questions about the bank's oversight of its technology. Wells Fargo customers and employees experienced problems with their bank accounts late last week as a result of a systems failure, with some saying they had trouble accessing money from direct deposits.
The trouble began Thursday when a shutdown at one of the bank's data centers left many customers unable to access their accounts online or on mobile applications. The bank said the issue wasn't due to a cybersecurity event. It also said many services were restored by Thursday night, including most mobile and online systems, credit and debit card transactions, and ATMs.
A bank spokeswoman said that overdraft fees and other charges related to these issues will be reversed.
It was Wells Fargo's second system outage this month. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency sent Wells Fargo a regulatory warning in recent months that can precede an enforcement action, The Wall Street Journal previously reported.
Tipsters who blew the whistle on tax fraud collected a record $312.2 million in awards during fiscal 2018. The total was more than six times the average annual figure for the previous ten years, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
Individuals who provide original information to the IRS about tax-law violations are eligible for a reward if the tip results in a penalty. Tax whistleblower awards represented 21.7% of the amount collected under the IRS program, which was $1.4 billion, the agency said.
Sprint Corp. has sued AT&T Inc. over a branding campaign that it says falsely tells customers they are receiving 5G service on their smartphones, escalating marketing wars between carriers over the next generation of wireless networks.
Sprint alleges in the suit that AT&T is deceiving customers into thinking their 4G LTE wireless service is in fact 5G. It is asking the court to block AT&T from using that tag.
Engineering and regulatory complications are expected to delay safety fixes covering hundreds of Boeing Co. 737 MAX jets until at least April, according to industry and government officials familiar with the details.
Mining giant Vale SA had denied owning the sort of mine-waste dam that collapsed in January and killed at least 157 people at one of its old mines in Brazil, underscoring the industry's reluctance to disclose information about such structures.
Hasbro Inc. reported a 13% decline in sales during the holiday season, the latest indication of how toy makers struggled following last year's liquidation of Toys "R" Us. Rival Mattel Inc. also reported a drop in sales for 2018's final quarter, down 5%.
Global regulators must revamp the way they assess new threats to the financial system, as the tide of postcrisis rules crests and the financial sector evolves, a top Federal Reserve official said Sunday.
The U.K. economy experienced its weakest growth in six years during 2018 as businesses slashed investment in the face of growing uncertainty about the way in which the country will leave the European Union.
Low unemployment rates mean companies can't risk dragging out their hiring processes. If they do, staffing consultants say, they risk losing the interest of top candidates or worse: losing them to competitors who move faster.
More workers were involved in strikes and other labor disputes in 2018 than at any point in the past three decades, fueled by widespread teacher protests last spring, according to data released by the Labor Department. Almost 500,000 workers participated in work stoppages last year, driven primarily by protests in the education, health-care and social-assistance industries, the Labor Department said.
Amazon.com Inc. executives are re-evaluating a planned campus in New York City, people familiar with the matter said, turning up the heat on local officials who have rallied opposition to giving billions of dollars in tax incentives to one of the world's most valuable companies.
The director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently told business leaders supportive of high-skilled immigration that the Trump administration could propose greater flexibility for intracompany transfer visas known as L-1s, which broadly allow a U.S. employer to transfer an executive, manager or professional with specialized knowledge from an affiliated foreign office to a U.S. office.
Tesla Model 3 owners face unusually long waits for repairs, a drawback to being a customer of an upstart company that has built a coveted luxury brand but is still learning some of the basics.
America's global campaign to blacklist China's Huawei Technologies Co. is facing a major challenge on Europe's eastern flank, where countries are debating whether to side with Washington against a Chinese government that has courted the region's leaders.
In the Czech Republic, officials have taken opposite sides on how to balance security concerns raised by the U.S., and the country's own cybersecurity officials, with the desire for Chinese investment, trade and business opportunities. The Czech prime minister wants to consider restrictions on Huawei, but the country's president has embraced the company.
Jeff Bezos cultivated a persona of the billionaire who did dishes, until his company moved into Hollywood. There, the Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive took on the trappings of a very different lifestyle, where people and events are much harder to control.
The shift became clear to the world a day after his Jan. 9 tweet announcing his pending divorce from his wife of 25 years, when the National Enquirer reported his affair with the wife of the chairman of a top Hollywood talent agency, a former entertainment-show host, including details of their intimate texts.
Many big banks merged in shotgun marriages during the financial crisis, but it has been 15 years since two healthy ones pursued a combination of the size of the one announced by BB&T Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc. While the potential payoff is huge—a more profitable lender better positioned to compete with multitrillion-dollar rivals such as JPMorgan Chase & Co.—so are the pitfalls.
Coca-Cola Co. is introducing the first new flavor in more than a decade for its namesake cola. Orange Vanilla Coke and Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar will go on sale across the U.S. on Feb. 25. The move follows a revamp last year of Diet Coke with several new flavors, including Ginger Lime and Zesty Blood Orange, which helped spur a rebound in demand for diet cola. Soda sales have been sliding for much of the past decade as consumers have turned to bottled water and flavored seltzer.
Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Brian Moynihan received a compensation package valued at $26.5 million last year, a 15% raise from the $23 million he earned in the prior year, according to a securities filing. Total compensation for Mr. Moynihan, 59 years old, last year was the largest since he became CEO.

After a few dicey off-road expeditions, most new JK drivers make a few modifications to their Wranglers. In addition to larger tires, lift kits, and fender flares, you should also install Jeep Wrangler JK auxiliary lighting. Flood and fog lights are needed to illuminate uneven trails when the weather turns bad or the sun goes down. Though driving at night is seldom a good idea, if you take it slow and have additional outside lights, everything will go a lot smoother. To install auxiliary lighting, you must first purchase a light bar, which can be attached to your Jeep Wrangler's bumper or the top of the windshield. Our light bars accommodate between two and five additional bulbs.
Ryan reviews options for off-road lighting like light bars, rock lights, and spot lights.


Buenos Aires, meaning good air, is the largest city in Argentina and also serves as the capital of the country. Buenos Aires a high energy city with strong European ties is a port city located on the southern shore of the Rio de la Plata bordering Uruguay. Situated on the southeastern coast of South America, Buenos Aires is the continents third largest metropolitan area. Located in the Pampas Region of Argentina, Buenos Aires is geographically bordered by the Rio de la Plata to the east northeast, by the river Riachuelo to the southeast and Avenida General Paz separating the city from the Province of Buenos Aires to the west.
I am in Buenos Aires once again on a Sunday, not that being here on a Sunday is bad, it's just the city is very quiet, For a major city Buenos Aires will not start coming alive until mid afternoon and then most shops will still be closed with only a handful of restaurants opening up.
So waking up early and not wanting to eat in the hotel, I try to get away from eating in hotel restaurants as much as possible, I feel it's too Americanized and you are not getting the taste of the local culture.
Today my friend, an American who is living here in Buenos Aires called me up early knowing I would already be up since I am a early riser, asked if I wanted to meet at Cafe Tortoni for coffee, I looked at the time and said let's do it. Not that the time really matters for coffee it just a matter what time you are going to Cafe Tortoni.
For those unfamiliar with Cafe Tortoni, this is the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires, Located on Ave De Mayo, just a couple blocks down from the Pink House, Buenos Aires answer to the States White House. Opened in 1858 by a French Immigrant, Cafe Tortoni has become a very popular stop on the tourist tours of Buenos Aires. The cafe is decorated with antiques and the walls are covered with old photo's on the history of Buenos Aires giving the cafe a air of yesterday and years gone by.
So our decision to meet for coffee on a Sunday morning was more on timing, Sundays few cafes are opened early yet Cafe Tortonis can be found opened. If you are interested in seeing Cafe Tortoni it it advisable to go early. We arrived just before 9am to find only a few table occupied. This early it is very pleasant to sit, talk, drink coffee and enjoy the history of the building. By the time we left almost a hour later the place was almost 3/4 full the noise level starting to rise. Later in the afternoon when I walked by the line to get in was at least 50 deep with more tour buses pulling up.
Looking for good coffee, a little bit of history and you are in Buenos Aires on a Sunday, try Cafe Tortoni. Then stroll down to Plazo de Mayo to view the Pink House and make your way to Defensa Street for the street fair that stretches from Plaza De Mayo all the way to Plaza Dorrego in San Telma, another Sunday favorite in Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires on a Sunday is almost completely shut down, the normal shops, restaurants and even the little markets seem to be closed for Sunday. Like any major city around the world, Sunday is usually a quite day in the city.
Arriving late from New York to Buenos Aires due to the high winds and runway closure in New York's JFK Airport we did not arrive to the hotel in Buenos Aires until around 1:30pm, a very long night. For me arriving so late in the afternoon it would not be a good choice to go to sleep, the consequence for me sleeping this late would be that I would be wide awake all night. An early get up the next day for a day trip to Montevideo and back to Buenos Aires meant that it would be better to stay up and sleep tonight at a regular time.
In my mind I had spending the afternoon sitting at a small café on the water in Puerto Madera or at one of the cafes lining the park center in San Telma. Talking with my first officer on what his plans were, he told me he was interested in finding an Ice Cream shop that he had read about and a leather store. I was tired, but I could always go for a good ice cream, not so interested this day in a leather shop. So off we headed in search of his desirable ice cream store.
Heading towards Plaza de Mayo we turned on Defensa Street, as we made the corner I noticed the normal tables set up along the street selling trinkets, watches, video's and you name it. I thought to myself that the rest of the Buenos Aires was closed yet the normal street vendors were out on a Sunday. As we walked down Defensa, the vendors became more frequent and the crowds started to grow. I also noticed that the vendors were not selling the familiar trinkets; the goods were taking on a more antique look.
It was not long that we came to a little rise in Defensa and I could look about a ½ mile down the street, it was then that I realized this was not just a few venders put hundreds of them lining the street with thousands of people walking and shopping. I was soon to learn that this was a normal ritual that dates back to the 70's and am told it just gets bigger and bigger.
I for one am not that interested in antiques, but this walk down narrow cobble stone streets and old architecture buildings became interesting. I cannot tell you how many different Victrola record players we saw, you know the tulip shape ones; it had to be over a hundred in different sizes. Antique knifes from World War 2, old world chandeliers. This was becoming enjoyable.
To my amazement, we ended up at Plaza Dorrego , the central park in San Telmo, just where I had originally wanted to go. I have been to Plaza Dorrego and San Telmo several times but via a different route. Today the Plaza was filled with all kinds of vendors selling everything from antiques to a variety of food; there were Tango demonstrations as well as singers on the streets bordering the Plaza.
You are probably wondering what happen to the Ice Cream store, well our initial walk down Defensa we did not find it, at Plaza Dorrego I took out my iPhone, punched in the name "Nonna Bianca" and found we had passed it 3 blocks back from where we came.
Headed back 3 blocks we found it on the corner of Estados Unidos and Defensa. Soft Ice cream awaited us inside with over 50 flavors to choose from. I will admit that I went for the ¼ liter which was 3 scoops, Dulce de Leche, bianco chocolate and get this cervesa ice cream(beer). Well worth the walk, all in all we spent about 4 hours walking and enjoying the sites of Defensa and San Telmo, what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Buenos Aires and to work up an appetite for some great Argentinean Steak and Mendoza Wine that evening, but hey that's another story.


Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies with a shared mainline several times a day. Implementing CI in Drupal 7 can be tedious, but I will go into some of the tools and techniques we use at Princeton University to implement a CI workflow.
In this session we will explore some of the benefits and advantages you get from implementing CI, along with sample workflows and tools, such as Git, Jenkins, and the Drupal Features module.
During the past decade, Princeton University's web site has grown from a relatively simple tool supporting producers and consumers of information about the institution, its programs, and its people to what is today a complex, mission-critical appliance for teaching, research, administration, and collaboration.

How to Stop Procrastinating | JobSearchRadio.com
InJob Search Radio
TagChance Taureau, How to Stop Procrastinating, procrastinating, procrastination
http://webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/2017/04/28/how-to-stop-procrastinating/
Ep 293 Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter identifies the real reasons for procrastinating and offers solutions so that you can stop.
p>Procrastinating isn't just avoiding. It is the notion that you're avoiding something because of self-criticism. You don't think of yourself as being good enough. You don't think that this is really right.
Boulders in your job search will translate into self-imposed barriers most of the time. Obviously there are other barriers that can come up. Mostly, they are self-imposed barriers to taking action because you don't believe in yourself..
Catch that one.
Self-imposed barriers that you place in front of yourself because you don't believe in yourself.
Where did that negative self talk come from ? Why don't you believe in yourself? Is it true?
I had a guest on Job Search Radio not long ago named Chance Taureau who spoke about how most of what we believe in, most of what we do, and pretty much who we are, is the sum of our habits.
If you have a good habit, repeat that habit and you will feel great. Have a bad habit and the habit of negative talk starts to show up.
I want to encourage you to start breaking down that procrastination and start looking at what it is really about. I want to start looking at small wins against that barrier, that boulder, that huge mountain that is in front of you. In this way, you can start having the career that you want and get to the organization that you really want to be in and not just simply take a job because it is a JOB and you need a JOB.
Again, you have to think of your life in the context of the fact that is going to be a lot of years, is good be a lot of time and it is going to be a lot of effort. How do you really want to spend that time? What you really want to be doing? There are always going to be obstacles but how are you going to get those obstacles out of your way quickly by developing new habits that allow you to defeat them.

"There is a difference between investigating and deliberating: to deliberate is to investigate a particular kind of object. We must also try to grasp what excellence in deliberation is: whether it is some sort of scientific knowledge, opinion, shrewd guessing, or something generically different from any of these.
Now, scientific knowledge it is certainly not: people do not investigate matters they already know. But good deliberation is a kind of deliberation, and when a person deliberates he is engaged in investigating and calculating [things not yet decided]. Nor yet is it shrewd guessing. For shrewd guessing involves no reasoning and proceeds quickly, whereas deliberation takes a long time. As the saying goes, the action which follows deliberation should be quick, but deliberation itself should be slow. Furthermore, quickness of mind is not the same as excellence in deliberation: quickness of mind is a kind of shrewd guessing. Nor again is excellence in deliberation any form of opinion at all. But since a person who deliberates badly makes mistakes, while he who deliberates well deliberates correctly, it clearly follows that excellence in deliberation is some kind of correctness. But it is correctness neither of scientific knowledge nor of opinion. There cannot be correctness of scientific knowledge any more than there can be error of scientific knowledge; and correctness of opinion is truth. Moreover, anything that is an object of opinion is already fixed and determined, while deliberation deals with objects which remain to be determined. Still, excellence in deliberation does involve reasoning, and we are, consequently, left with the alternative that it is correctness of a process of thought; for thinking is not yet an affirmation. For while opinion is no longer a process of investigation but has reached the point of affirmation, a person who deliberates, whether he does so well or badly, is still engaged in investigating and calculating something [not yet determined].
Good deliberation is a kind of correctness of deliberation. We must, therefore, first investigate what deliberation is and with what objects it is concerned. Since the term "correctness" is used in several different senses, it is clear that not every kind of correctness in deliberation [is excellence in deliberation]. For (1) a morally weak or a bad man will, as a result of calculation, attain the goal which he has proposed to himself as the right goal to attain. He will, therefore, have deliberated correctly, but what he will get out of it will be a very bad thing. But the result of good deliberation is generally regarded as a good thing. It is this kind of correctness of deliberation which is good deliberation, a correctness that attains what is good.
But (2) it is also possible to attain something good by a false syllogism, i.e., to arrive at the right action, but to arrive at it by the wrong means when the middle term is false. Accordingly, this process, which makes us attain the right goal but not by the right means, is still not good deliberation.
Moreover, (3) it is possible that one man attains his goal by deliberating for a long time, while another does so quickly. Now, long deliberation, too, is not as such good deliberation: excellence in deliberation is correctness in assessing what is beneficial, i.e., correctness in assessing the goal, the manner, and the time.
Again, (4) it is possible for a person to have deliberated well either in general, in an unqualified sense, or in relation to some particular end. Good deliberation in the unqualified sense of course brings success in relation to what is, in an unqualified sense, the end, [i.e., in relation to the good life]. Excellence in deliberation as directed toward some particular end, however, brings success in the attainment of some particular end.
Thus we may conclude that, since it is a mark of men of practical wisdom to have deliberated well, excellence in deliberation will be correctness in assessing what is conducive to the end, concerning which practical wisdom gives a true conviction."

Upon reading Ms. Ester Hodkis's terrible words of condemnation of Kate Mills in her letter to the editor in last week's edition, I initially was very angry, and then became profoundly sad that people can extract from newspaper articles only that information they choose to believe, without having any conception of the truth, trying that person before it is proven they have done anything wrong.
In my experience, Kate Mills never has, did not in this case, nor would she ever abuse an animal. She has been involved in showing animals since she was 5 years old and has earned many honors, not just for her showmanship abilities but for the animals shown as well. She begins her senior year at MSU this fall, and was residing in Lansing at the time of the raid on the Mills farm.
During the winter a horse (which, by the way, was under veterinary care) died on the farm as did some newborn lambs. The lambs were awaiting pickup by the U.S Dept. of Agriculture for DNA testing.
While it was reported in your paper that approximately 30 perfectly healthy animals were not removed from the premises, many people, including Ms. Hodkis, seem to overlook that fact. Does it not seem illogical that they would selectively choose to abuse one animal and not the other 30?
I only wish people would make sure they know the facts before judging others. This nightmare which has become part of the lives of a good family if nothing else has made me realize the need to be skeptical of most of what we read and be slow to judge others.
When Kate is exonerated, I do hope Ms. Hodkis and all others who have judged her without all the facts will be equally as quick to offer her an apology as they have been to assault her character.
Editor's note: District Judge Laura C. Barnard on Monday dropped all animal torture and abuse charges against Kate Mills. Mills' attorney presented documentation that she had been residing in East Lansing at the time the alleged abuse took place.
