Q: Method with variable parameter values without changing its signature This post is about a job interview question I had, I'm asking here to find different ways I should used to solve it.
The interviewer asked me to write on a whiteboard how I will design a method that will receive a Person object, so I write this:
class Person
{
    //Some properties
}

public void MyMethod(Person p)
{
}

Then the interviewer told me the method must receive a list(array) of addresses for the person, I modified like this:
class Person
{
    //Some properties
    private List<Address> adds;
}

class Address
{
    //Some properties
}

public void MyMethod(Person p)
{
}

Then he told me the method must receive a list of persons with addresses and also a list of bosses for that person so I did this:
class Parameter
{
    private List<Person> pers;
}

class Person
{
    //Some properties
    private List<Address> adds;
    private List<Boss> boss;
}

class Address
{
    //Some properties
}

class Boss
{
    //Some properties
}

public void MyMethod(Parameter p)
{
}

(In every change he told me the method signature must not be modified)
The interviewer just said "ok" but I did not think he was very convinced with my approach, I'm not an expert in C# or Java (the interviewer said he master Java) and I was so nervous that just came to my mind this "easy" solution, but seems it was a very bad choice.
I will appreciate if you can guide me to solve this in the best way using C# or Java

A: Hmm ok I think the important thing to mention here are also different views on the behavior of the entities.
So the Address class or better it should be a DataType class which is immutable is ok. A Person can have one or more address objects.
My question would be related to the Boss and Person class: Do you want a Boss which knows N persons or do you want a Person that knows N Boss objects or both so a 1:N or N:M relation.
My advise related to the question of extending the Boss with Person is don't do this. You have simple Entity classes and extension is heavy. If you want such a behaviour use composition so e.g. the Boss has an person attribute with delegation or simple reuse your data types by defining address and so on again in the Boss class.
With the not changing parameter ok thats a little stupid. I get whats your purpose with the Parameter class but thats not a good way. So if your method should receive only a Person object use a Person type otherwise overload the method with a Collection type.
So this is only my opinion about this topic ;)

Blake Ward
Yellowknife-born, Edmonton-raised Ward received his Fine Arts Degree from the University of Alberta in 1979. He went on to study classical figurative sculpture in Paris until 1989. When the opportunity arose to be closer to the foundry of his choice, Foundry Venturi Arte in Bologna, he moved to his current studio in Monte Carlo. When he was invited to teach at the University of Hanoi in 2003, Ward began a journey combining art and activism. His work evolved a bold socio-political voice calling out to our humanitarian dreams of justice, truth, and equality and he has been a positive force raising funds and awareness for the eradication of landmines around the world.
Blake Ward's new sculptures from his Spirit collection are provocative figures that incite introspection. The Spirit series illustrates Ward's contemporary approach to classical figurative sculpture and his development from firm academicism to a new liberating metallic expressionism building on the techniques of figurative sculpture developed in antiquity. His newest pieces challenge the classical figure by opening up the interior space of the human form as a way to search our inner selves. Holding fast to his love of the human figure, Ward remains true to the representational quality and the realistic proportions of traditional sculpture while simultaneously exploring new ways to comment on the trinity of human complexity: mind, body, and spirit.
Blake Ward exhibits internationally, including at The Front Gallery, Edmonton, Rouge Gallery, Saskatoon, Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver, Hilton-Asmus Contemporary, Chicago, Articsók Gallery, Toronto, Galerie Saint-Dizier, Montreal and Maison d'Art, Monaco and Galleria Lumina, Bergamo, Italy.

When I was 15 years old, my mother picked me up at school to take me to a dental appointment. In the car, I could tell immediately that she wasn't functioning normally—she was headed for another "episode." She drove nervously, struggling to recognize her surroundings. She was silent except when I forced conversation, and when she did speak, her speech was slow and seemed to require deliberation.
It was as if half of her had already shrunk into some unknown place, and the other half was not sure whether to follow or to maintain her grip on the reality of her daughter and a trip to the dentist.
I asked Mom if she had taken her medication that day. Her answer was not straightforward, but it was clear that she was not fully medicated and stable. So with one part of my brain, I prayed for a safe trip to the dentist. With another part, I employed a technique used by many people who feel powerless in the face of an unnamed enemy: I acted as if nothing was wrong.

A Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guide to 'Stuart: A Life Backwards' by Alexander Masters
Filed under: Biography,Book Reviews,Books,Libraries,Literature,Memoirs,Reading,Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guides — 1minutebookreviewswordpresscom @ 1:39 pm

10 Discussion Questions
Stuart: A Life Backwards
This reading group guide was not authorized or approved by the author, publisher, or agent for the book. This guide is copyrighted by Janice Harayda, and its sale or reproduction in any form is illegal except by public libraries that may reproduce it for use in their in-house reading groups. Other reading groups that would like to use this guide should link to this site or the "Contact" page on One-Minute Book Reviews to learn how to request permission to reproduce the guide.
"Charming" isn't a word often applied to books about "an ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath," as Alexander Masters describes his subject in Stuart: A Life Backwards. But it fits this biography of an intelligent and self-aware but physically and mentally impaired man – half Jekyll, half Hyde — whom the author met when both were living in or near Cambridge, England.
Masters has enriched his tragicomic story with quirky, New Yorker-ish line drawings of Stuart Clive Shorter and others in which people's heads seem too big for their bodies. And whether or not the distortion was intentional, it's a visual metaphor for the man described on its pages: Stuart was a someone whose brain always seemed to be about to burst out of his body and, apparently, in the end, did.
Questions For Reading Groups
1. One of the challenges faced by any biographer of a violent criminal is: How can you depict someone's terrible crimes accurately while also maintaining enough sympathy for the person that people will keep reading? How does Masters do this?
2. Masters found that Stuart changed constantly and acted in "amazingly inconsistent" ways. "At first I thought he was lying or stupid," Masters said in an interview. ["The Madman on Level D," by Anne Garvey, the Times of London, June 10, 2005.] Did you ever think Stuart was "lying or stupid," too? What changed your mind? How would you interpret Stuart's behavior?
3. Stuart has an unusual narrative structure for a biography – it moves backwards. Masters begins when Stuart is an adult – "an ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath" – and doesn't give his date of birth until Chapter 25. [Pages 1 and 291] But the story doesn't always move in a straight chronological line. Masters describes some of Stuart's ancestors in Chapter 24 before he tells you when his subject was born in Chapter 25. How well does this structure works?
4. Masters often criticizes mental-health professionals or popular views of mental illness, such as when he writes: " … It is wrong to assume that a failed [suicide] bid is, as the nauseating cliché will have it, only 'a cry for help.' It could be – is usually in Stuart's case – just the opposite. Its failure is the result of too great desperation to get the job done." [Page 160] How did Stuart affect your ideas about mental illness or any aspect of it, such as suicidal tendencies?
5. One of the characteristics of great biographies is that they are usually "about" more than one person's life. They may deal with subject's profession or social circle or the era in which he or she lived. What is Stuart "about" besides Stuart?
6. Stuart disliked a version of the book that Masters showed him. He called it "boring" and wanted something "like what Tom Clancy writes." [Page 1] How do you think Stuart would have liked the final book?
7. Biographies typically include only photographs of their subject and others. What do Masters's drawings add to the book?
8. Masters is an advocate for the homeless who has worked in hostels for them and run a street newspaper. Biographers who support a cause are sometimes faulted by critics ax-grinding, special pleading, or slanting their facts. Has Masters done any of those things? How does he keep Stuart's story fro becoming strident or sentimental?
9. Critics have disagreed on whether Stuart is biography, memoir, or something else, such as a true-crime story. Blurbs on the cover of the hardcover edition call the book a "biography." The directors of the National Book Critics Circle said that Stuart "defies categorization" and named it a finalist for the 2007 NBCC award in the autobiography/memoirs category. You can find one board member's comments on this issue by searching for the words "Stuart: A Life Backwards" on Critical Mass www.bookcriticle.blogspot.com. How would you categorize the book? How do such classifications affect your perceptions of Stuart and other books?
If you have time …
10. Stuart resembles James Boswell's Life of Johnson, the first great modern biography, in that it may tell you as much about its author as it does about its subject. So you might enjoy comparing the two books. Is fair to say that Masters was Stuart's Boswell? Why or why not? What does Masters have in common with Boswell?

1 2006 Burns: The Epidemiological Pattern, Risk And Safety Awareness At Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi
Many burns are preventable but there is no published local prospective data on the epidemiological pattern of burns that would form the basis of care and formulation of burn prevention strategies.
To determine the epidemiological pattern of burns and assess the awareness of burn risk and preventive measures among patients admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) with burns.
Cross-sectional study.
Kenyatta National Hospital.
PATIENTS:
One hundred and nine consecutive burn patients admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital.
The mean age was 14.4 years (median 7.0, range 0.2-66 years). Mean total body surface area burned (TBSA) was 22.3% (median 13.0, range 1-95%). Children under five years were 48.6% with more scalds compared to adults. Open flames burns, involvement of accelerants and assault were prominent among adults. Education level above primary school was associated with higher risk awareness compared with primary level education or below.
The pattern of burns noted resembles other reported series but the role of accelerants and assault appears enhanced in this study. Public education campaigns aimed at burns reduction could be tailored to the educational level of target population.
2 2001 Renal Transplantation During The Twentieth Century: A Review
To provide an overview of the various advancements and problems associated with both live and cadaver donor renal allograft transplantation during the twentieth century. DATA SOURCE: Major published reviews on renal transplantation during the the last five decades of the twentieth century were reviewed using Medline internet search and the Index Medicus. The developments in immunosuppressive therapy associated with renal transplantation, the problem of the shortage of both live and cadaveric organ donors and post-transplant complications were examined. The future of renal transplantation including cross species transplantation (xenotransplantation) is discussed. CONCLUSION: Renal transplantation has evolved over the years to become a very successful and routine procedure. However, the transplant waiting lists have remained long due to a continuously shrinking kidney donor pool which is due to improved results of neurosurgical procedures, better emergency and intensive care services and the failure to adequately prevent and treat post transplant chronic renal failure.
3 2000 Cancer Of The Penis At Kenyatta National Hospital
To determine how common cancer of penis is in this locality compared to all other malignant tumours and urological malignancies, and to determine and comment on the various methods of treatment available at KNH.
A retrospective case study.
Kenyatta National Referral Hospital, Nairobi.
All patients with histologically confirmed cancer of penis at the Kenyatta National hospital between January 1970 and December 1999.
There were 55 patients with penile cancer representing 0.1% of all malignancies during the study period. The mean age was 47.9 years with a peak incidence between 40-61 year age groups. Penile cancer was the most rare urological tumour representing 5.1%. The most common was prostate cancer (56.0%), followed by bladder cancer (25.0%), kidney cancer (7.9%), and testicular cancer (6.1%). Thirty eight patients (69.1%) presented with advanced disease, Jacksons stages III and IV. The majority (96.4%) of the patients had glandular and preputial involvement. Histologically, 56.4% had well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, (23.6%) had moderately differentiated and (20.0%) had undifferentiated carcinoma. Forty patients (72.7%) were circumcised, nine patients (16.4%) were circumcised as adolescents and three patients (5.5%) circumcised as adults. Twenty five patients had partial penectomy with radiotherapy and or chemotherapy. Eight patients had total penectomy and radiotherapy while four patients had local excision and radiotherapy. Eleven other patients had radiotherapy either alone or combined with chemotherapy. Two patients had circumcision only and inguinal lymphadenectomy was effected on five patients after penectomy and radiotherapy.
Penile cancer is rare and the least common urological malignancy in this locality. It occurs in younger men with a mean age of 47.9 years, and presents as advanced Jackson's stages III and IV disease. The majority of patients had penectomy and local excision followed by radiotherapy.

Indulgence vs investment: How Global Factors Can Affect the Gold-buying Habits of Indians
New Delhi [India], January 24 (ANI/Mediawire): India's centuries-old somewhat contentious relationship with gold has, nevertheless, always stood the test of time. Gold has evolved from only an object of beauty to being considered a commodity, a global currency as well as an investment. The brand new episode of Malabar Gold The Golden Truth, an initiative by the Times of India, has Kritsween Walia, Special Correspondent for Times Now, in conversation with Jim Rogers, an American author and investor, and Preeti Rathi Gupta, MD and Founder, LXME, country's new first financial platform for women, on the impact of Covid and other global factors on Indian economy and gold.
As the conversation weaves between the future of the world at large with Covid in the rearview mirror, the omnipresent inflation, and the impending recession, both Rogers and Gupta feel that these would have an unpredictable impact on the economy of our country as well as other nations.
Rogers feels that while inflation would keep fluctuating, investing in commodities such as gold may protect people from inflation.
Gupta feels that despite inflation and an upswing in gold prices, the demand will persist because many people are unaware of alternative investment options, especially in rural and upmarket India. She believes that gold will always be in demand as a haven asset as gold prices soar during a crisis. Alternatively, the convenience of liquidity it offers, particularly in our country, makes it an inevitable part of any asset allocation. "Covid was a unique once-in-a-lifetime black swan event. It led to gold prices, trading at $1500 earlier, peaking at $2085 per troy ounce in August 2020. Interestingly, the dollar also appreciated at the same time, taking the dollar index to an all-time high. For Indians, this was a double whammy."
Talking about the value addition of gold in reducing the impact on imports and increasing exports, Rogers asserted that the long relationship that Indians have with gold dominates the markets tremendously.
Gupta believes that any global crisis, be it the truckers' protests in Canada or the George Floyd protests in the US, will directly impact the price of gold. She asserts that between 2019 and 2021, Covid led to a very high surge in the prices of gold, which led to phenomenal returns. "The government then launched the sovereign gold bonds to stem the imports and expected the huge gold returns to be rerouted towards these bonds. About 1900-odd tonnes of gold are held under sovereign gold bonds today. But, as a country, we are consuming about 9,00,000 tonnes of gold, second only to China. Most of this comes from investment avenues."
However, Gupta agrees that we as a country are also price sensitive so when prices go too high, there is also a demand slump. However, if there has to be an asset allocation, gold must be a part of it.
Rogers asserts that silver, which is also an industrial component with myriad uses in solar panels and electric cars, is much cheaper than gold as it is down 60% from its all-time high, while gold is at its all-time high. However, he insists that when it comes to investing shortly, people would go for both metals.
Rogers, who designed the Rogers International Commodities Index, believes that gold and silver will always remain in demand as coveted commodities to invest in. "People want to own gold and silver so that they know that they are protected during times of crisis." He insists that even China and Russia, which historically did not have much gold, have started importing it.
Talking about investing in emerging markets and developing markets such as China, Uzbekistan, and Russia, Rogers admits that these are much cheaper to invest in than New York or Japan, which attracts investors like him in the first place. "In cheaper and newer markets, positive changes are happening. They also offer diversity. I believe that as investors, people should invest in their own country's markets as well as in those of foreign countries." Rogers also advises investors to pay attention to global events like wars, large economies like the US and Japan which may be undergoing a recession, and their impact on the global economy, to make better investment choices.
Gupta talks about gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and gold mutual funds, explaining that given the inclination of Indians towards buying physical gold, it is important to make the masses aware of the benefits of putting their money in any form of electronic gold. "It is more expensive to hold on to physical gold than maybe electronic gold as it includes GST, insurance, and other costs. In electronic gold, you are getting the price of the purest form of gold. So when you do redeem it, you are getting the money for the purest gold. There are no storage costs involved. Additionally, transaction costs for physical gold are about 3%-4%, mutual funds are about 1.5% while ETFs are a lot cheaper at 0.5%."
Gupta also elaborates that mutual funds and ETFs can be bought at minimal amounts, with ETFs going at one unit per gram, while one can buy a gold mutual fund at a minimum of Rs 100, which can also be disciplined through a SIP. According to Gupta, this is particularly good for retail. In terms of tax implications for these digital assets, Gupta says that for short-term holdings, capital gains tax is applicable as per the holder's tax lab, while for long-term holding, one can avail of the indexation benefit, which at 20% taxation is a great benefit.
Concluding that such schemes are user-friendly and tax-saving, Gupta insists that they need more awareness and a shift in the thought processes. She believes that with 99.5% purity, the digital gold schemes have a better benchmark for liquidity than hallmarked physical gold, which makes it a financially better option. "Ultimately, the conversation here is about indulgence vs investment."

Way now clear for wood, say biomass champions
THE GOVERNMENT'S latest move towards getting rid of coal-fired boilers in hospitals and schools shows growing market confidence in the country's biomass supply, the Bioenergy Association says.
A $12 billion infrastructure package which was to be announced by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and finance minister Grant Robertson today will include $10 million to replace coal with wood in some schools and hospitals.
The Government had already said that publicly owned facilities could not install new coal-powered heat sources. The new money means eight schools and two hospitals will replace their coal-fired boilers ahead of schedule, cutting greenhouse gas emissions by around 3000 tonnes a year.
The decision is welcomed by the Bioenergy Association as a sign the Government now has faith in the supply of biomass.

Sharron Angle Floated '2nd Amendment Remedies' As 'Cure' For 'The Harry Reid Problems'
By Sam Stein
Sharron Angle, the Tea Party candidate turned Republican primary winner in Nevada, has taken heat for a number of extreme affiliations and policy positions. One of the more outlandish was a statement she made during a radio interview last January in which she floated the idea that the public would bring down an out-of-control Congress with "Second Amendment remedies."
Since the clip surfaced, courtesy of the Plum Line's Greg Sargent, there has been no comment from the Angle campaign. The candidate herself spent much of Tuesday rubbing elbows with Republicans on the Hill and avoiding the media. In the interim, however, the Huffington Post has been forwarded more evidence demonstrating the candidate's apparent comfort with the notion of armed insurrection against the government.
In an interview she gave with conservative talk show host Bill Manders earlier in the campaign, Angle conspicuously floated, once again, "Second Amendment remedies" to deal not just with the supposedly ever-growing "tyrannical" U.S. government, but to replace her now general election opponent: Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Angle: I feel that the Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry. This not for someone who's in the military. This not for law enforcement. This is for us. And in fact when you read that Constitution and the founding fathers, they intended this to stop tyranny. This is for us when our government becomes tyrannical...
Manders: If we needed it at any time in history, it might be right now.
Angle: Well it's to defend ourselves. And you know, I'm hoping that we're not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the vote will be the cure for the Harry Reid problems.
Manders cut to break after the statement. So there was no expansion on Angle's proclamation. Prior to that sound bite, however, Angle hinted that she was likely carrying a concealed .44 magnum model 29 during the interview.
"Whoa," said Manders, "you're not carrying that today are you in here?"
"Well," Angle replied, "you know, as part of your test, they always say, 'Don't ever tell anybody if you're carrying because the bad guys don't need to know if you're carrying.' That's what makes that [sic] concealed carries effective."
As for the notion of "Second Amendment remedies," there is a certain sliver of conventional wisdom that holds that positions like these aren't all that unappealing to the decidedly pro-gun, libertarian-streaking voters of Nevada. For what it's worth, even Manders -- a decidedly conservative voice -- suggested during a later show that Angle needs to moderate her views in order to win election -- though it's unclear if that includes her position on armed insurrection.

All Quiet On The Minor-League Front, Redux
Folks, just a quick note to assure you that we're still here, hating on the weather and waiting for the games (and spring) to start on Friday.
There's not much for me to pass along that I'm not sure that you've already seen. This is the week where the beat writers discover the guys we've known about for months, if not years, as they must file stories and fill time. Of course, I don't begrudge them that — I've long known that their job is tougher than most people realize.
As previously noted, we'll post about spring training from the minors perspective for about three weeks, which is usually how long it takes before the majority of the minor-leaguers are sent down. We hope to be surprised, have one of "our guys" outplay the veteran NRIs, but I think the conventional wisdom — and trades of Nathan Karns and Robbie Ray — is spot-on that the Nats are unlikely to have any rookies make the Opening Day roster.
Transaction Update
18 Commments
Wondering if Jeff Mandel will latch on anywhere – one of the few MLFAs not to sign somewhere. Is he headed for the indies/retirement?
Souldrummer says:
Sad to hear he's out of the system. Did such a nice job as a swing guy for the Chiefs/Senators.
Hey, Ladson posted that Charlie Slowes got to Viera. That's big time news.
Here's some minor league seamhead material. From a National League scout — "There is no better defensive centerfielder that walks the earth than Michael Taylor". "Majors, minor leagues, whatever".
Pretty powerful stuff.
Saw that quote somewhere else on the interwebs yesterday. Taylor's better than Span? Span is beautiful!!! He's a gazelle in center!!! Best jumps I've ever seen in person from a Nat.
Dan Kolko produced some excellent morning reading on this very topic.
Right now, I only read……………….LADSON!!!
Taylor is faster and better and he has a shortstop's arm. His original position.
You're talking Curt Flood with a shortstop's arm? That's better than Span. Remember, Span lost his job to Revere and both were traded away. There is a reason don't you think?
Will be curious to see the fan turnout
For Lucas G- force in Harrisburg on
His nights to take the bump.
Detweiler with a cutter. Good
If he gets there sooner rather than later you have to begin wondering whether they will get his feet wet with some major league action this season before his innings limit and shutdown. Many scouts seem to think its almost fait accompli.
John C. says:
Many scouts? Outside of a couple of internet commenters, I've not seen anyone that thinks Giolito gets a cup of coffee in the majors this season. With an innings limit, only 39 innings to his credit and none of them above short-season A Ball and a lot of pitching depth between him and the majors to absorb emergencies, it would be foolish to start his ML service clock by putting him on the 40 man roster this year, much less on the active roster.
Here ya go dude.
http://www.masnsports.com/nationals_buzz/2013/12/surprised-at-scouts-take-on-lucas-giolito.html
"The scout I spoke to raved about Giolito's poise and said the only thing he needs now is experience. But when I asked how soon it would be before Giolito would be ready, I was surprised when he told me, 'Maybe sooner than you think. End of the (2014) season? Early the next? Only thing he needs is innings.'"
And there's more that this. Surprised you haven't been reading? Well maybe not too surprised.
Meh. One anonymous scout who raises it as a theoretical possibility, but more likely 2015. It's a lot easier to find scouts and executives (and pundits, FWIW) who don't expect Giolito until 2015/2016 than it is to find one that talks 2014 for him. But then again, it was awfully hard to find those that were bullish on Corey Brown, Steve Lombardozzi, Tyler Moore (etc), but that didn't stop commenters from talking them up. It's a free country, more or less.
And also FWIW I agree with the anonymous scout on Giolito possibly arriving in 2015; I think it's quite possible that Giolito, if he has a strong season, works his way from Hagerstown through Potomac to Harrisburg before he gets to his innings limit. Since Harrisburg is essentially the on-deck circle for the bigs, depending on how he does and what the team's needs are I can easily see him getting some big league time in 2015 before contesting for a rotation spot in 2016. Even if the Nats rotation stays healthy and productive (I'm in favor of this!), if Giolito stays on course then he almost certainly gets a cup of coffee in September 2015 and competes for a roster spot in 2016.
I suspect more than a roster spot … a spot in the rotation which to me is the real why of the Karns trade … not a new anathema toward rookies as Luke seems to subscribe to.
In the end a slot in the rotation seemingly must be allocated to Giolito if he turns out to be all that the scouts claim he can be. Not just a roster spot.
If this is true then we are looking at Taylor Jordan being showcased for a trade. As opposed to Detwiler and Roark who both seem capable of providing both starts and bullpen coverage. And Detwiler may be too 'fragile' to generate 180-200 innings a year?
I think they feel they can still wait a bit on AJ Cole and if they lose Zimmermann to free agency?
Throwing Latin around Peric. Smooth
This Zimmerman time @ 1b reminds
Me of Davey trying to stack the RH bats
Versus a tough LH like Kershaw.
Hairston sees more time in line ups like that
Cue Pat Methany tune – spring ain't here!
Rizzo likes left-hand bats. But he likes the idea of Curt Flood's glove along with a plus-plus arm better methinks.
Pat Metheny ain't funky enough for me. Now Ahmad Jamal. That will work.
Flood could hit, too. Taylor hasn't proven that he can hit enough to justify his place on a major league roster, much less as a starting CF. Taylor whiffs more than once per game in high A ball (244 K's in 242 games) and his career minor league splits are .249/.319/.399. At least he will take a walk, unlike Eury Perez of Jeff Kobernus. But unless his OBP increases as he rises in the system (not easy to do) he's not going to make it.
I'm not dismissing him out of hand; there's some potential there if the reports on his defense are correct. But right now he's on track to be a marginal 4th/5th OF. If his offense improves he could be something, but he has work to do.


There's a lot of minutes of footage. I don't mean just outtakes. This is unused, new content that could be woven into the storyline. That's what's going to give everybody such a great kick. It's going to look like it was meant to be. Like it was shot yesterday.
Todd Fisher seems clued in at least to some degree to what exactly Disney and Lucasfilm have footage-wise of Carrie Fisher, and what he says here is encouraging. I'm not sure what constitutes "a lot of minutes of footage" but the way he says it, it makes it sound like they have enough to do what they need to do.
Although we initially heard that unused footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be used, it was later revealed to include stuff from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which J.J. Abrams could pull from when crafting her role.
Even more encouraging than just the quantity of footage they have to work with is what kind of footage it is. As Todd Fisher tells ABC News, this isn't just a case of outtakes that will need to be shoehorned in to fit the story. The filmmakers apparently have unused content, presumably from scrapped scenes, that can be used and fit naturally into the storyline of Episode IX.
Obviously Todd Fisher was not able to reveal any details about what footage they have or anything about Leia Organa's story in J.J. Abrams' film, but it is exciting to hear that he is so pleased with how they are handling his sister's character.
It is a natural concern that relying solely on unused footage from the previous two films, would create some major headaches for the filmmakers and perhaps negatively impact the film, but based on Todd Fisher's remarks the footage looks like it was shot yesterday and will fit seamlessly into Episode IX.
When a tragedy like Carrie Fisher's passing strikes there is no perfect answer and the concerns of a film are far from paramount. Nevertheless, Todd Fisher's words may help Star Wars fans feel better that Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia will be given a proper sendoff.
What that sendoff will be is anyone's guess. The film may pick up events a year after The Last Jedi. It's hard to imagine that Princess Leia will have much of a role in Episode IX beyond the first act, but we'll have to see.
Once this movie comes out it will be a very interesting exercise to look at how well this unused footage fit with the rest of the film and where it might have fit in the previous two films. I will also be curious to speculate about how much the rest of the story was dictated by what was available for the Leia character.

@ptxofficial GOES VIRAL…AGAIN "EVOLUTION OF MUSIC" REACHES 5.5 MILLION YOUTUBE VIEWS
Vocal sensations and winners of season 3 of NBC's "The Sing-Off," Pentatonix have had a whirlwind week with their latest YouTube video – "Evolution Of Music" – garnering nearly 5.5 million in the 6 days since its debut. The video spans 1000 years of music in just 4 minutes, featuring some of the most popular songs from the last dozen centuries, and has been featured by The Huffington Post, Ryan Seacrest, Mashable and even got some radio love from New York City's Z100.
Click here to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/ptxofficial?feature=results_main%20
Additionally, "Oh Holy Night," the Christmas classic and standout track from PTX's 2012 Christmas EP, was featured on last week's episode of NBC's Community.
Pentatonix also recently teamed up with dubstep violinist Lindsey Stirling on a cover of Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive." The video has a combined 12 million cumulative YouTube views and the single, now available via iTunes, debuted in its top 100. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/radioactive-single/id637055735
This follows the success of the group's previous offerings, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" which surpassed the six million-view mark, an *NSYNC medley and a Swedish House Mafia mash-up. All of the arrangements are performed on the group's current tour, which continues through May. The YouTube videos (and more) can be found on the Pentatonix YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/ptxofficial.
On top of their live performance and YouTube release schedules, Pentatonix are also arranging and recording PTX Vol 2, planned for an early Summer release.
After winning the most recent season of NBC's "The Sing Off," Pentatonix enjoyed a whirlwind of success in 2012. They released 2 EP's – PTX Vol 1 & PTXmas – twice debuting on Billboard's Top 200 and selling a combined 100,000 albums and counting. Their television appearances included The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno, The Katie Couric Show, The Talk, The American Music Awards Red Carpet Show and VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live! They have been regularly featured by RyanSeacrest.com and Perez Hilton. The Philadelphia Inquirer reviewed their fall tour and said:
No strictly vocal act sounds more ecstatic in triumph than Pentatonix… Euphoric best describes the joyful, self-described "futuristic a cappella" quintet who played before a wildly enthusiastic Philly audience.
Pentatonix are taking instrument-free music far beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Named after the world's most widely recognized five-note musical scale, this vocal quintet has transformed one of pop music's purest and most soulful expressions into an exciting future, filled with limitless sonic possibility. Pairing their intricate arrangements with cleverly re-imagined pop songs, Pentatonix have quickly cultivated a sound and style that is entirely unique and undeniably infectious.
Just a year old, the Pentatonix YouTube channel boasts over 70 million views, buoyed by more than 700,000 subscribers. The group also has more than 290,000 Facebook fans and nearly 85,000 twitter followers.

This half-day walk follows a route along both banks of the River Lednock near Comrie, an attractive village in Highland Perthshire situated between Crieff and Loch Earn. There is a good hiking trail, with walkways and viewing platforms constructed to give safe access to views of the Deil's Cauldron waterfall and at other sections of the route. The Melville Monument provides an optional extension with a more strenuous, but short, climb through forest to a splendid viewpoint. Apart from this, it is an easy hike with just one other fairly steep section on the east side through Laggan Wood.
The funniest moment was trying to catch a photo of a red squirrel as it hid behind a tree!
The only words of warning are to stick to the safe route around the waterfalls.

Q: How to push a modal view from didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo I've got an imagePickerController which allows the user to take or select an image.
In - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info; I would like to trigger opening another modal view to capture the caption. I have a call for that purpose...

-(void) getcaption:(id) obj {
    textInput * ti = [[textInput alloc] initWithContent:@"" header:@"Caption for photo" source:2];
    ti.delegate = self;
    [self presentModalViewController:ti animated:YES];
    [ti release];
}

The question is how to call getcaption without triggering a spiral of

#6663 0x324abb18 in -[UIView(Hierarchy) _makeSubtreePerformSelector:withObject:withObject:copySublayers:] ()

At the moment I do
[self performSelector:@selector(getcaption:)  withObject:nil afterDelay:(NSTimeInterval)1];

in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo
which is nasty, and only 95% reliable

A: I assume the problem is that you are attempting to show your new view before your old view has closed?  I assume you are in a parent view controller that is displaying both modal views with it being the parent.  If that is the case, the point at which you should display the new modal view is when the parent view has completely finished hiding the previous modal view.  Specifically, this happens at
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated

You'll want to make sure that you only show the second modal view after the previous one has finished, of course (that is, don't show it when the parent view is appearing for any other reason)

Home > Activities > Coast Guard to get FOB on northern Ambergris Caye
By Demar Grant on August 25, 2018
Ground broken for Coast Guard Forward Operating base in Northern Ambergris Caye
Belize City, BELIZE. Saturday, August 25, 2018. Ground was broken on Friday on northern Ambergris Caye for a forward operating base for the Belize National Coast Guard.
According to a government press release, the base will be built in Bacalar Chico and will mark the first time that a permanent base for day to day activities will be available for use by the Belize National Coast Guard.
For the last three years, there have been only foot patrol being offered by the Coast Guard due to the lack of proper facilities.
FOB ground-breaking
The official release explains that the new forward operating base will be located about a mile and a half from the Mexican border and that "the Bacalar Chico Coast Guard Station is an ideal location for the prevention of cross-border criminal activities such as drug trafficking, weapon trafficking, and illegal fishing."
According to the official release, "the strategic importance of their presence in Bacalar Chico as law enforcement is to provide stability for economic prosperity."
The base will be built by contractor Victor Aldana and is expected to take about four months to complete.
The design of the facility is to house 16 officers and includes a 30-ft lookout tower, and a vessel will be assigned to the location.
Present for the groundbreaking was Minister of National Security, John Saldivar; Commandant of Belize Coast Guard, Admiral John Borland; Contractor, Victor Aldana; and Mayor of San Pedro Town, Daniel Guerrero, among other officials.

Boultbee cottages almshouses Emery Down.
Work to transform historic almshouses in Emery Down near Lyndhurst has received a Royal seal of approval.
The 140-year-old Victorian Boultbee Cottages have been given a prestigious award by the Prince of Wales after undergoing a £600,000 restoration programme.
The Trustees of the Grade II listed almshouses worked closely with planners and building conservation experts at the New Forest National Park Authority to ensure the buildings were brought up to modern standards but maintained the traditional character of the buildings.
Almshouses provide affordable housing for the vulnerable or needy and are run by local charitable trusts. The Emery Down Almshouses Trust has spent over five years raising the funds to restore and extend the five cottages which had become uninhabitable.
Jan Smart, Chairman of the trustees, said: 'This is an unexpected honour and marks the completion of a long and frequently-daunting project. Emery Down is a very small village and without local support the plan to restore and extend the Almshouses would never have been attempted. The renovated cottages are a source of pride and the homes they provide are a joy to their tenants.
Prince Charles is the patron of the Almshouses Association and gave his Patron's Award to the Emery Down scheme, one of only two awarded this year. The awards celebrate excellence in architectural and living standards and recognise outstanding projects and developments.
The trustees are hoping the Prince will visit the Grade II listed cottages to present the plaque personally.
Much of the restoration cash came from the Almshouses Association, the Homes and Communities Agency and local donations.

George Reginald Turner (15 de octubre de 1916 – 8 de junio de 1997) fue un crítico literario y escritor australiano, conocido principalmente por sus novelas de ciencia-ficción, escritas principalmente al final de su carrera. Su primera novela de ciencia ficción la escribió en 1978, cuando rondaba los 60 años. A pesar de ello, consiguió un éxito considerable como escritor (incluyendo un premio Arthur C. Clarke).

Biografía
Turner nació y creció en Melbourne. Sirvió en las Fuerzas Imperiales australianas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Posteriormente realizó múltiples trabajos, desde funcionario en una oficina de empleo a técnico en la industria textil. Tras ello trabajó como crítico literario de ciencia ficción en el periódico The Age.

Antes de comenzar a escribir ciencia ficción, se hizo un hueco como escritor de ficción, género en el que publicó 5 novelas entre 1959 y 1967. De ellas dos fueron premiadas con distintos premios. "The Cupboard under the Stairs" (1962), ganó el Premio Miles Franklin, el galardón literario más importante de Australia; mientras que "The Lame Dog Man" (1967) ganó el Commonwealth Literary Fund.

En los años 70, se labró una fama considerable como crítico de ciencia ficción en la revista SF Commentary. En 1977 edita "The View from the Edge", una antología de cuentos redactados por los participantes en un taller de escritores en Melbourne, donde colaboró con otros escritores de ciencia ficción como Vonda McIntyre y Christopher Priest.

Una década después de su última novela, publica "Beloved Son" (1978), su primera novela de ciencia ficción, que escribió a partir de un relato propio que publicó en Science Fiction: A Review of Speculative Literature el 1 de julio de 1977 bajo el título "The Lindley Mentascripts". Antes de su muerte publicaría seis novelas más de ciencia ficción.

Ciencia Ficción
La principal característica de las obras de George Turner es la capacidad descriptiva del autor y la aproximación que es capaz de hacer a los problemas morales y sociales de sus protagonistas, como en sus novelas "Drowning Towers" o "Genetic Soldier", donde muestra su visión personal del calentamiento global y sus consecuencias para la humanidad. Mucho de su trabajo deja evidente sus raíces australianas, y a veces incorpora referencias a los pueblos aborígenes de su país. A pesar de su inicio tardío, a su muerte era considerado una de las figuras más notables de la ciencia ficción australiana.

A su primera novela de ciencia ficción "Beloved Son" 1978) le siguieron las novelas "Vaneglory "(1981) y "Yesterday's Men" (1983), las tres unidas en la denominada Saga de La Cultura Étic. En ellas se describen los problemas tras un holocausto nuclear y las consecuencias de los cultivos transgénicos y de pandemias por mutaciones de virus. En Vaneglory introduce su idea más destacada, los Niños del Tiempo, una sociedad secreta de seres humanos mutantes virtualmente inmortales con habilidades mentales muy superiores a los humanos normales. A diferencia de en otras obras de ciencia ficción, no controlan directamente el destino de los humanos (a pesar de que intervienen intermitentemente en la política humana) dado que su cultura más introspectiva les hace difícil comprender las personalidades humanas o cooperar con ellas. Simplemente se encargan de vivir de manera paralela a los humanos, sin interaccionar apenas con ellos.

Su siguiente novela "The Sea and Summer" (1987) (publicada en Estados Unidos como "Drowning Towers" (1988) y en España como "Las Torres del Olvido" (1989)), es su novela de más éxito, estando nominada para el Premio Nébula y ganando el Premio Arthur C. Clarke en 1988. Está basada en su relato corto "The Fittest" publicado en 1985 en "Urban Fantasies". Se trata de una novela de ciencia ficción que versa sobre una historiadora del futuro que trabaja en la bahía de Melbourne, que debido al cambio climático, ha quedado totalmente inundada, y acompañado a esto provocó el derrumbe del sistema económico, la división de la sociedad en una élite adinerada y una masa social empobrecida. Turner concluye su novela con una reflexión personal sobre la importancia del cambio climático y de como su evolución podría afectar a la sociedad humana.

Sus siguientes dos novelas fueron thrillers políticos ambientados en un futuro próximo. "Brainchild "(1991) y "The Destiny Makers" (1993). "Brainchild" gira en torno a un periodista encargado en investigar un experimento genético que habría convertidos a seres humanos en individuos con una inteligencia superior. Parte de la novela estaba tomada del cuento "On the Nursery Floor" (1985).

"Genetic Soldier" (1994) comparte la ambientación de "The Destiny Makers". Tras los acontecimientos de esta novela, la tripulación de una nave espacial es enviada para explorar planetas que sean habitables para los humanos. A su regreso a la Tierra, descubren que los humanos han evolucionado para seguir viviendo de una forma más armoniosa con el medio ambiente y caracterizada por una rígida especialización genética. La novela expande el relato "Shut the Door when you Go Out" donde Turner dibuja un escenario similar.

George Turner fue nombrado Invitado de Honor en la 57.ª edición de la Convención Mundial de Ciencia Ficción que se celebró en Melbourne en 1999, pero por desgracia murió 2 años antes de que el evento tuviera lugar. En 2013 su novela "The Sea and the Summer" ("Las Torres del Olvido" en español) se convirtió en la primera novela australiana en ser incluida en ser incluida en la lista de Obras maestras de la ciencia ficción de Victor Gollancz Ltd.

2019 Porsche 911 Speedster
There'll be only a few of these, so act fast if you want one. Porsche has now unwrapped the open-top 2019 911 Speedster. This was the concept car the automaker unveiled back in June, now greenlit for production.
The gorgeous two-seater model is going to be built as part of the line's 70th anniversary, and it'll also mark the end of the current-generation 911. Porsche is only making 1,948 units, though (owing to the fact that the first 356 was made in 1948), and the car will come in a Paris is Guards Red colorway, exactly like the 1988 911 Speedster.
Porsche based the car on the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet body shell then added a more aerodynamic windshield angle and shorter side windows. It should be noted that this isn't just a minor revamp; Porsche Motorsport in Weissach developed this car, meaning it's a more hardcore 991 iteration than you'd initially think. You'll find 911 GT3 parts in the chassis, plus carbon fiber on the the fenders, the hood, and the engine cover. Meanwhile, the exhaust system and six-speed manual gearbox come from Porsche's GT unit.
The 911 Speedster boasts a 500-horsepower flat-six engine, which was borrowed from the track star GT3. The six shifts through a six-speed manual transmission. The car also debuts Porsche's new Heritage Design Packages, which should give customers a lot more personalization options.
Porsche is set to begin production during the first half of 2019. Pricing has yet to be determined, but this is a limited-edition model, so don't expect it to be cheap.
