DVD Review | "Life Itself" fitting tribute to crtic
The credit for this documentary's devotion to truth rests squarely with its subject, Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert.
By Heather Tierney
DVD Review | Don't let "Nightcrawler" sneak past you
Jake Gyllenhaal was robbed. Dan Gilroy, too. In a year when seemingly every group or union in the film awards industry is going gaga over a movie that took a decade to make and another about an actor's insane career redemption, they overlooked, perhaps, the best movie of 2014, and one of the best acting performances of the season.

DVD Review | Verdict on "The Judge" is good
Turns out, you can go home again. Just wear your riot gear. We've seen this story before. A prodigal son returns home after a long absence to confront old mistakes and major grudges - whether he wants to or not.
By Kay Reynolds
DVD Review | "The Boxtrolls" twisted, dark, brilliant
Stop-action animation looks astonishing in Blu-ray - especially in 3-D - even though much of the storyline happens under the cover of night.
By Michelle Washington
DVD Review | "Black Sails" an adventure worth seeing
THERE ISN'T A parrot or "Argh!" to be found in this Starz adventure series set in the Caribbean during the golden age of pirates. That's a point of pride in the promo features that make up the extras - and that's OK, because what we get in the eight-episode package is good enough to keep you hooked.
DVD Review | "Boyhood" DVD timeless -- never dated
You have to wonder how the write-up on the back of "Boyhood" got the final OK. Richard Linklater's remarkable, moving film "chronicles one boy's epic journey to adulthood... to tell a coming-of-age story like none other in film history."

DVD Release | Dashner confident film hits the mark
Author James Dashner has every reason to be happy. Proud, too. The film adaptation of his novel "The Maze Runner" is a winner. But what is it like having your best-selling series adapted to film by a relative newcomer?
Column | Looking forward from Beach school reunion
VIRGINIA BEACH I was a little shocked when I realized earlier this year that 2014 marked 10 years since I graduated from high school. It can't have been that long already, I thought.

A irreverent sequel with tongue firmly in cheek
WHEN Nick Offerman as Deputy Chief Hardy looks into the camera during a press conference and says the latest bust of a drug dealer in "22 Jump Street" is "the exact same" as a previous case (in "21 Jump Street"), the irreverence in his voice is palpable.
Norfolk ranked as 'scaredy-cat city' on movie rental list
NORFOLK Compared to, say, Anniston, Ala., Norfolk movie-renters are just plain scaredy-cats. The Alabama city ranked as the ninth-highest city for rentals of horror films from Redbox kiosks and was dubbed a "Horror Hot Spot," while Norfolk rentals of the flicks were ninth-lowest putting it on the "Scaredy-Cat Cities" list, according to the company.

Goldman names Denis Coleman as new CFO starting next year for retiring Stephen Scherr
Published Tue, Sep 14 20218:45 AM EDT Updated Tue, Sep 14 20215:40 PM EDT

Goldman Sachs named Denis Coleman the bank's new chief financial officer beginning next year.
Coleman, the current co-head of the firm's Global Financing Group, will take over for Stephen Scherr, who is stepping down as CFO at year-end and retiring in January 2022, Goldman said Tuesday.

Coleman, the current co-head of the firm's Global Financing Group, will take over for Stephen Scherr, who is stepping down as CFO at year-end and retiring in January 2022, Goldman said Tuesday in a release.
"Denis has consistently proven himself through his strong judgment and operational capability across roles of increasing responsibility and we look forward to his contributions to the firm as Chief Financial Officer," Goldman CEO David Solomon said in the release.
The move is the first instance of turnover within Solomon's inner circle, the top executives he named as deputies shortly before taking over Goldman in October 2018. Scherr was part of a wave of investment bankers who rose to power after Solomon was anointed CEO, including John Waldron, who is the firm's president and chief operating officer.
Before being promoted to CFO, Scherr, 57, led the firm's efforts to develop its retail banking business, Goldman's first foray into the consumer realm. He joined Goldman in 1993 as an investment banking associate and was steadily promoted to roles including head of the financing group, head of the firm's Latin American business and chief strategy officer.
"Stephen was integral to the development of key growth initiatives at the firm, including consumer and transaction banking," Solomon said. "In his most recent role, Stephen helped to drive the firm's strategic objectives and facilitate change in the organization, all while maintaining a core focus on risk, particularly during the pandemic."
Coleman joined Goldman in 1996 as an analyst in the firm's bank loan group. He became co-head of U.S. loan capital markets and was later named co-head of U.S. leveraged finance before rising to management roles in the firm's EMEA financing group.
The incoming CFO will receive a $1.5 million annual salary and is eligible for a bonus, the bank disclosed in a regulatory filing.

Jaxie is a fun loving girl who hates pranks. At 16, she came to the school and later was blinded in her right eye by her Whispering Death, Sharktear, forever damaging their bond. Through the next few years, she watched her little sister turn from a sweet little girl into a bitter warrior, rescued a Scuttleclaw egg from the bitter cold of Icestorm Island, and started her own clan. She is now 18, and looking forward to graduating next year.
Karrud is the father in the Herman family. He met his wife at the age of 27, and decided to dedicate his life to the sea. At 45, he settled down on Berk, sending his two daughters to the nearby dragon school. Two years later, he decided to join the school himself, meeting the Sand Wraith, Tholank, and the huge baby Gronckle, Eggdrop.
Marrissa is cold and bitter towards anyone associated with Berk. She is the commander of a group of outcasts who believe that Alvin was wrong to help Berk and want to continue his "Original Plans." However, she has a soft spot for her older sister, Jaxie, and goes through deep regret every day for leaving her behind.
Rescued from Marrissa's Outcasts by the Herman family, Echo prides herself on no longer being an orphan. She first arived at the school on an Outcast ship at the age of 15. Now, 16, Echo has trained quite a few dragons, including her best friend, Sheath. Echo was royalty before the Outcasts invaded her island, forcing her to stowaway on the Snarp family's ship. Due to her history, Echo is meek and plauged by nightmares and hiluscinations.
It takes a lot to stand up to your family. But then again, 21 year-old Mikayla isn't known for backing down. Born into the Snarp family, Mikayla had come to accept that she would have to fight for something she didn't believe in. That all changed when her family, the Outcasts, captured a Flightmare. Surprising herself, and everyone around her, she went against her family and rescued the dragon. She then got in contact with her cousin, Jaxie, enrolled in the school, and changed her life forever.
Unless otherwise stated, all art is by me.

That or candle would work. Anything that can be burned for light I guess.


Oh yes, I was totally and completely stammering my way through a phone conversation just a minute ago. I called my academic advisor for... well... advice. I'm outta my comfort zone here, because I have never needed help or advice from the higher-ups at the college so far. None.
Six classes (14 credit hours), working 7 hours a day, packing up all of our belongings, preparing 100-years worth of farm accumulation for an auction, entertaining out-of-state in-laws, dealing with the emotions of leaving my family and friends behind... this was me during this past Spring Semester. I got through it and maintained my 4.0, but I just about ran myself into the ground.
Now, I'm at a point where I'm not sure what I should do. You see, there are several classes I could prepare portfolios for in an attempt to receive experiential (life) credit. However, I don't have those portfolios prepared yet. Other than those classes, I have two classes left to take. One of which is speech online. How do you take speech online, you ask? Well, you have to arrange for an audience of at least 3-4 people to attend each one of your speeches. Then, they have to be video taped, and you mail them to the instructor. As I stammered my way through this 'asking for help and advice' phone call, I couldn't help myself - I asked if my audience members could have four legs. "What?" my advisor asks. "Well," I replied, "If I can give my speeches to cows and dogs, then I'm all set with my audience. Otherwise, I'm going to have some issues."
What happened to my favorite header???
This one is cute too...but that puppy was my FAV!
ROFL, Mist that's hilarious! I can picture it clearly. What did he say?
Perfect sense you made over at my place, perfect.
*big grin* I hope your advisor is more...advisory than mine! It's a step in the right direction that you actually spoke with one! I gave up asking for advice & have been planning my own course path.
Hey, I've been reading up on your latest posts and just wanted to send you a big hug. I hope that this weekend is a good one for you!
Ahahahaha! Misty, your stories are the best. Thanks for reminding me to email my former advisor. I needed a resource I thought he could provide.
"I'm going to have some issues." Hee hee.
Hmmmm, online speech class. When I was living on the farm, I used to play my guitar to the animals...I found the ponies made the best audience, good luck!
I'm tired just reading what all you have going on.
Four legged audience, if only!
You are one funny woman. Thanks for the grins!
I think we both should run a way for a while. We both need a break. How does Hawaii sound to you?
Do you have a webcam? We could set up a video link, and you could give a speech to all your blogging buddies.
If you and Tammy run away to Hawaii, I wanna come!

Q: Simplifying case statement for network script I am working on a networking script that will help identify what gateway exists depending on the local network it's on. It will echo back what location I'm from given the gateway.
Is there any way I can simplify the script? I know there are multiple methods of going about writing this. For example, creating an array for a list of elements for each gateway or the simple if then clause after declaring a variable for each gateways. What is the most efficient and simplest?
GW=$(route get default | grep gateway | awk '{ print $2 }')

case ${GW} in
  10.0.1.1
    echo "US"
    ;;
  10.0.2.2
    echo "CN"
    ;;
  10.1.2.1
    echo "UK"
    ;;
esac

A: I think associative array would bring the least biolerplate.
declare -A ARR  # to make it associative
ARR["10.0.1.1"]="US"
ARR["10.0.2.2"]="CN"
ARR["10.1.2.1"]="UK"

echo ${ARR[$GW]:-"unknown gateway"}  # ":-" (Use Default Values) for missing key

Youngsters across the West Midlands and Kent could benefit from an increased £300,000 of funding from the National Express Foundation.
Last year the charity extended £150,000 of funding support to the Medway, Gravesend and Longfield areas of Kent, as well as the West Midlands. This year the Foundation has doubled the amount of funding to support even more young people, with a total of £300,000 available.
Since its launch in 2012, the Foundation has awarded hundreds of thousands of pounds which has helped over 14,200 young people enjoy positive activities within their local communities and to continue with their education.
The charity has today opened for 2018 applications and is offering local educational institutions and community groups the opportunity to bid for grants out of the increased £300,000 funding available.
The Foundation previously invited local community groups to bid for grants of £2,500 or £5,000. This year groups can also bid for larger amounts of £10,000 or £20,000 to support sustainable projects that provide positive and engaging activities for young people in deprived areas.
Community groups are not the only ones to benefit from Foundation funding. Local colleges and universities can also apply for grants of £10,000 per year towards innovative bursary schemes that help students from disadvantaged backgrounds continue in further or higher education.
To be eligible, groups or educational institutions must be based within the West Midlands, or within Kent's ME1-ME12, ME14, DA3, DA11, DA12 or DA13 postal codes. Full guidelines on how to apply and application forms can be found at www.nationalexpressgroup.com/foundation.
Applications for funding must be received by Thursday 8 March 2018. However the Foundation will be running another funding programme later this year.
Smethwick Youth and Community Centre used a Foundation grant to support numeracy and literacy classes for youths aged 11-19, helping to improve their skills and provide them with a better chance at accessing the jobs market, while also increasing their educational knowledge. As of February 2018 the group had 60 registrations, with 45 young people actively attending each week.
"The National Express Foundation funding truly has been a lifeline in helping us to create a platform to engage young people in the local community. We have been so pleased to see so many of our young people using our facilities. As a Community Centre Manager it has been refreshing to see youngsters attending our numeracy and literacy sessions with a passion to learn."
Castle Vale Neighbourhood Partnership Board in Birmingham used a £2,500 grant to deliver 'Inspire Bike' workshops to educate, motivate and inspire local young people interested in bicycle activity by building positive experiences and activities, helping them to break out of a cycle of poor and disruptive behaviour.
Tara Martins Community Project in Medway used a Foundation grant to expand the level of help they offered within the local community. They were able to engage vulnerable young people and provide them with the opportunity to learn skills and access training. The programme helped improve their self-confidence, get back into further education or jobs, and live happy, healthy and independent lives. Some of those young people supported by the project have stayed with the group and now regularly volunteer to help others.

FOR the first time, researchers have developed a data set quantifying what the social cost of carbon — the measure of the economic harm from carbon dioxide emissions — will be for each of the globe's nearly 200 countries, and the results are surprising. The top three emitting countries – India, China and the US — have the most to lose from climate change. Gulf countries like Saudia Arabia also score very high.
The findings, led by an international team of scientists and which appear in Nature Climate Change, estimate country-level contributions to the social cost of carbon (SCC) by using recent climate model projections, empirical climate-driven economic damage estimations, and socio-economic forecasts. In addition to revealing that some counties are expected to suffer more than others from carbon emissions, they also show that the global social cost of carbon is significantly higher than the one standardly used.
Among the state-of-the-art contemporary estimates of SCC are those calculated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The latest figures range from US$12 to US$62 per metric tonne of CO2 emitted by 2020; however the new data shows that SCC to be approximately US$180–US$800 per tonne of carbon emissions. What's more, the country-level SCC for India, China, US and Saudia Arabia alone are estimated to be above $20 per tonne – higher than the carbon prices of the European Trading System, the largest CO2 market in the world.
In order to model the effects of CO2 emissions on country-level temperatures, the authors use an innovative approach by combining results from several climate and carbon cycle modeling experiments, to capture the magnitude and geographic pattern of warming under different greenhouse gas emission trajectories, and the carbon cycle and climate system response to carbon emissions.
"Our analysis demonstrates that the economic costs of climate change will be high in many countries, including ones like the US and Gulf Countries which traditionally have not taken leadership on climate policy," said Massimo Tavoni, associate prof at Politecnico di Milano, director of the newly established European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE), and an author of the study.
"Moreover, 90 per cent of the world's countries will lose from climate, and these impacts will exacerbate global inequality and international tensions. Many countries have not yet recognised the risk posed by climate change. This study aims at filling this gap," he added.
The authors noted mapping domestic impacts of climate change can help better understand the determinants of international cooperation. The nationally determined architecture of the Paris climate agreement — and its vulnerability to changing national interests — is one important example.

Who remembers the first time they used a TV remote control??
Can you remember the first time you encountered the magic of a TV with remote control?
If not, you're probably in the enviable position of having grown up surrounded by this technology and are younger than me... But yet...there was a time that if you desired to change the channel, well you had to stand up and do it yourself, or perhaps unfairly get your younger sibling to do it for you. But then the 1980's happened and the infrared TV remote control became more and more popular, to the point where TV manufacturers stopped making TVs with buttons for channel selection and a dial for volume. The tech moved on. The digital revolution has pretty much changed so much of how we interact with the world, communications, consumerism, everything from booking a flight to making a purchase online. Catching up with friends with a skype call, listening to new music instantly, everything is in the \'now\'. That's been one of the big drivers of this digital revolution. If we can have something now, it doesn't make sense to wait longer than we need to for it. So, you would think this philosophy has worked its way into every facet of business as well... And it has in terms of fast internet access and our ability to collaborate with people not just sitting beside us in our office, but with people on the other side of the world... Yet, some old habits die hard. Let's imagine \'Steve\' works in our office administering a team of field workers, assigning jobs based on location, availability, priority and a multitude of other factors. Steve is good at his job, but all his time is taken up with maintaining contact with field workers and chasing up on paperwork from each job. And when the paperwork eventually arrives into the office, then he spends even longer processing it…...after that he spends more time issuing invoices, scanning documents, entering data from paper forms into digital medium…. It's clear that this way of doing business is very far removed from the 'now'. When you think about it, this business practice is arguably as old as commerce itself. So why is it that if life is moving at \'the speed of now\', in business, some of us move at the speed of 1 day late, 3 days late, 1 week late, 2 weeks late etc… Why are some businesses, to use an analogy, 'getting up from the sofa, walking over to the TV, pressing channel 3, then channel 4, changing the volume, walking back to the sofa, sitting down and then realising we don't even want to watch that show...getting up again etc...', Getting back to Steve in the office, if his business were operating at 'the speed of now', Steve would allocate jobs to his field workers in real time, deciding which worker is most appropriate or closest based on an instant visual timeline. Steve would be able to 'send' that job directly to his field worker - \'Ben\', who would receive instant notification on his mobile device, and instructions on where, when and what is required to carry out the job. Ben goes and completes the job, fills in his paperwork….except 'in the speed of now', Ben's paperwork is not a paper sheet which has to eventually make its way back to the office for Steve to input and process... All the paperwork and form data is right there on his mobile device. Right down to signature capture, barcode scanning, photos of the work carried out...and in 'the speed of now', Ben clicks to complete the job. That job is immediately marked as 'complete' back in the office. Invoices are issued, PDF documents with the form data are generated, stock levels are updated. Follow up actions are scheduled. Steve sees the job is complete, sees that Ben is available for another job near by. Steve and Ben's productivity has rocketed. Not only that, customer satisfaction is at an all time high. More work done means more profit. Steve even has time to daydream about when he was a kid and used to make his younger brother change the TV to the cartoons for him. He decides he probably should say sorry...

Laura Long
Through the years, we've worked with exceptional individuals who understand local challenges facing their communities, and have the passion and the vision to create opportunities where people can make healthy choices where they live, work, learn, play and pray. We're recognizing these individuals, who have been nominated by their peers and colleagues, to showcase their commitment to making the healthy choice, the easy choice.
Growing up with her grandparents' garden of fresh fruit and vegetables, Laura Long appreciates how important access to fresh produce is for individuals and families. It is with this appreciation that Laura has been working with local farmer's markets to offer healthy food options for everyone. Alongside SCDHEC, she has worked to connect farmers who accept SNAP, EBT, WIC, and senior vouchers with the citizens who use them. For the past two years, she has been helping with the SC Farmer's and Roadside Market App that allows users to see where local farmer's markets are located and which ones accept different vouchers.
"Laura Long is a committed, and respected community leader responsible for many health and wellness initiatives in Anderson County," says Mary Kayrouz of the United Way of Anderson County. "Her positivity and professional skill set has fostered impressive collaborations and sustaining partnerships working to improve the wellbeing of this community."
One of Long's passions is the WIC Program and helping low-income mothers provide healthy foods for their families and to understand the benefits. She was instrumental in setting up mini farmer's markets at the Health Department so WIC participants could not only redeem their vouchers for fresh produce, but could learn about the benefits of local grown vegetables and how to cook them.
"I would love for everyone, especially WIC participants, to make that connection," says Long, "and to help them make the healthy choice easy so they can make informed decisions on feeding their families while meeting their needs and their kids' needs."
Long also plays a role in improving healthy school environments and educating pediatricians on obesity prevention. She collaborated with AnMed Health on an education event for pediatricians, focusing on the use of obesity prevention tool kits in the clinic setting as an effort to improve pediatric health outcomes.
Kayrouz says, "Throughout Laura's career she has positioned herself to help reduce the impact of chronic conditions, injuries, infections, and maternal and child health problems. With a smile, kind words, and great enthusiasm Laura Long is leading our community to a higher level of wellbeing."

By using systems of gears with different sizes the devices that multiplies torque of the engine is known as Gearbox. It consists a system of reduction gears, an input shaft and output shaft. Various types of gearboxes are available.
A gearbox is an automatic way of transferring power from one device to the other moreover it is utilized to boost up the torque whereas reducing pace. The Torque is the energy generated from the bending or else twisting of a solid matter. This word is frequently utilizedinterchangeably withtransmission. It is situated at the junction point of anenergy shaft. It is often utilized to create a correct angle alteration in direction, as is displayed in a rotatingmower or else a helicopter. Every unit is finished with a precise purpose in intelligence, moreover the gear ratio utilized is planned to offer the level of force needed. This ratio is permanentmoreover cannot be altered once the box is built. The only feasible modification subsequent to the fact is amodification that permits the shaft pace to boost, along with anequivalentlessening in torque. In a state of affairs where multiple paces are required, a transmission with numerous gears can be utilized to boost torque whereas slowing down the production speed. This design is usually found in car transmissions. The similar principle can be utilized to generate an overdrive gear which boosts output pace while lessening torque. In acar, there are three kinds of transmission: manual, automatic, or continuously variable. A manual vehicle offers the excellent example of aneasy gearbox. In both the continuously and automatic variable, the gearboxes are stopped systems, needing extremely small human interaction.

Eritrea, a country of roughly 6 million people on the Horn of Africa, is one of the world's most repressive states. There is no freedom of speech, press, or religion. Not a single election has been held since the country achieved independence two decades ago after a 30-year war with Ethiopia. Prolonged detention and torture are routine for any dissenters. And adults are forcibly conscripted mandatory military or national service that can last as long as the government decides.
Yet despite Eritrea's ghastly human rights record, few human rights activists, policy makers, or world leaders ever mention the place.
Here are ten reasons why we should care about the state of human rights in this oft-forgotten corner of the world:
For the past 20 years, since the country was formally recognized by the international community on May 24, 1993, Eritrea has been ruled by President Isais Afwerki (pictured above) and the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ). After an initially promising start toward democratization, the Isaias regime became insular and repressive. Over the years the ailing President Isaias has become exceedingly paranoid about losing control. The country has yet to hold an election, and its 1997 constitution, which recognizes universal human rights, remains suspended.
Amnesty International estimates that there are 10,000 prisoners of conscience in Eritrea. They include government critics and dissidents, journalists, followers of registered and unregistered religious communities, national service evaders and military deserters, returned asylum seekers, and family members of those who fled the country. Detention can last for years or decades. Prisoners are often held incommunicado, in secret, with no family or legal counsel contact, and without charge or trial.
2,000-3,000
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, where I serve as a senior policy analyst, reports that there are 2,000 to 3,000 people imprisoned because of their religious beliefs. In interviews I conducted with Eritrean refugees in December 2012, many former religious prisoners spoke of being subjected to torture and other inhumane treatment.
Only four religious communities (the Coptic Orthodox Church of Eritrea, Sunni Islam, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Evangelical Church of Eritrea) are legally recognized. The Eritrean government interferes in the leadership of the communities and imposes a number of invasive controls over these religious groups. The government has refused to register all other religious communities and has prohibited their public religious activities and closing their places of worship. The situation for Jehovah's Witnesses and Evangelical and Pentecostal Christians is particularly dire.
The number of prisons, military prisons, town and/or district jails, and secret prisons in Eritrea is unknown. What we do know is that political and religious prisoners, as well as persons caught trying to escape the country, are held under shocking conditions. Reports of torture and other inhumane or humiliating treatment are common. These prisoners, including former religious prisoners whom I've interviewed, report sustained exposure to the sun in the desert, having hands and feet tied behind their back for prolonged periods of time, beatings, forced recantations of faith, and confinement in cramped conditions, such as 20-foot metal shipping containers or underground barracks in the desert where they are subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations. Reports of death in detention due to torture, ill-treatment, or denied access to medical care are common.
There are no independent political parties, civil society organizations, or independent news organizations operating in Eritrea. Independent public gatherings are prohibited.
The Committee to Protect Journalists ranked Eritrea as the world's most censored country in 2012, reporting that it is Africa's leading jailer of journalists (and the world's fourth worst). Reporters Without Borders ranked Eritrea at the bottom of its Press Freedom Index in 2013. No independent, domestic news agency has operated since 2001, the same year that the Eritrean government expelled its last accredited foreign news reporter.
Men and women between the ages of 18 and 50 can be called up for mandatory military or national service. National service is indefinite and begins during Eritreans' final year of high school at the Sawa military camp. What's more, Eritreans can be called to service up to age 55. When conscripts do not perform military service, the Eritrean Department of Defense assigns them to civilian development projects or commercial enterprises and pays their salaries.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported in January 2013 that more than 285,142 Eritreans have fled the country. A large percentage of Eritreans are young men and unaccompanied minors escaping Eritrea's indefinite military or national service. Others are fleeing abuses of human rights and religious freedom.
The Eritrean government apparently has a "shoot-to-kill" policy ordering military officers to shoot anyone trying to cross the border — an issue that recently brought the regime some unwelcome scrutiny at the United Nations.
Family members of Eritrean refugees abducted from Sudanese refugee camps by Sudanese and Egyptian smuggling networks and held for ransom in the Sinai are asked to pay up to $30,000 for their release. The victims of human trafficking endure torture and other ill-treatment, including rape, beatings by various objects such as whips or chairs, burnings with cigarette butts, suspension from ceilings for prolonged periods of time in contorted positions, electric shocks, etc. There are also reports of organ harvesting.
7 percent
The Eritrean economy is expected to grow by 7 percent in 2013 and 6.5 percent in 2014 due to a mining boom. Australian and Canadian mining companies are helping the nation grow by mining for zinc, copper, gold, and silver. But, as the numbers above demonstrate, this wealth doesn't necessarily guarantee the happiness or well-being of the majority of the population.

America's Road to Reputational Ruin


White men can't jump, but they sure can rebound!
Wow, Minnesota must "Love" this kid.
In case you missed it, Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves recently had the game of a lifetime. On Friday night, he had 31 points and 31 rebounds in a big win over the New York Knicks. Yes, you read that right. 31 points in a game is great by itself. 31 rebounds in a game is absolutely crazy in a game by itself. But to have all of that in one game…are you serious!?
Back in the stone ages, when Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell used to average 20-plus rebounds a game, a 30-30 game wasn't too spectacular. But nowadays, 30 rebounds in a game is an incredible feat. Heck, a total of 30 rebounds in two games combined is impressive. Over the last few decades, the leading rebounder in the NBA has usually averaged around 15 rebounds per game, give or take a few.
Kevin Love did something that hadn't been done in 28 years. Moses Malone was the last player to do it, when he had 32 points and 38 rebounds in a game in 1982. Love wasn't even alive yet.
Kevin Love isn't incredibly tall (in NBA terms), as he stands in at 6'10. He also isn't known for ability to jump out of the gym (insert white-basketball-player-joke here). So how the heck did he do it?
"It seemed like no matter what anybody did I was going to go and get those rebounds. I don't know what to tell you," Love said to reporters following the game. This confidence and determination, combined with a whole lot of lucky bounces and good box-outs, is what helped Love reach the mark he did.
Is this going to give Kevin Love some momentum and a chance to really get his NBA career going? Who knows. All I know is that if continues to play like he did on Friday, he is going to be an absolute stud in the league for a long time to come.
Congrats, Mr. Love, on one of the most impressive games in a long time.

How Long Does My Wife Want to Have Sex For?
Sex should last longer than masturbation, but probably not as long as you think.
By Lauren Vinopal
Updated Nov 15 2021, 6:57 PM
How long does sex last, on average? Well, it depends. Most surveys suggest that the average expectation for how long sex should last is about 30 minutes, which is a lifetime when one considers Alfred Kinsey's famous finding that the average man orgasms within two minutes of beginning sexual intercourse. Expectations as we know can sometimes be lofty.
But when it comes to the question of how long should sex last, people want answers. So we'll try to suss it out.
"There's no magic number," says Debra Herbenick, the director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University in Bloomington. It's a matter of preference, she adds, and also circumstances. Quick sex has its time and place, as does longer, more intimate approach. It varies from person to person and couple to couple and there's no "normal".
That said, there has been some research on duration. Here is what the findings show.
How Long Does Sex Last on Average?
Beyond Kinsey's depressing predictions about male orgasms, a range of studies have looked at the average length of sex. One study surveyed sex therapists — specifically regarding how long vaginal intercourse should last before ejaculation — and concluded that one to two minutes was "too short," three to seven minutes was "adequate," seven to 13 minutes was "desirable," and anything from 10 to 30 minutes was considered too long.
In another study, researchers asked 500 couples to time the length of their intercourse of the duration of four weeks. The shortest recorded time was 33 seconds; the longest was around 45 minutes. Self reported data isn't the greatest, but it's still fun to consider. Interestingly, the median duration of all the couples was 5.4 minutes.
Psychophysiologist and neuroscientist Nicole Prause is skeptical of most of this data, however. "I have never seen good preference data from women on intercourse length," Prause says. "If I had, I would still question what that meant."
Prause and Herbenick agree that the question on how long sex should last is too broad. Scientists would be better off asking what the ideal duration of penile friction in the vagina would be (lovely turn of phrase, isn't it?), or how long oral sex should last.
When a woman says she prefers sex to last an hour, it's possible that she only means five minutes of actual penetration and 55 minutes of external stimulation. That ratio can vary from person to person, on a case-by-case basis, but odds are that most women prefer less penetration. This is mostly because they are more likely to experience pain as a result of vaginal intercourse.
"It seems safe to speculate that women would want penetration to be shorter than men, on average," Prause says. "Men are just far less likely to experience pain from extended intercourse."
But for men who still want a number to shoot for, the closest thing to a magic one is … whatever their partner tells them. It's not that difficult for people to conduct their own case studies with their partners by asking every time. Hell, it can be fun.
"I'd focus less on time and more on a couple figuring out what works for them," Herbenick says.

"Sumiyakiya is a specialty yakiniku (grilled meat) and horumon (innards) restaurant that was opened 18 years ago and that I took over from the previous owner 8 years ago.
In 2012, I met Akmal Abu Hassan, the president of Malaysia Halal Corporation who told me about the struggles Muslim tourists face when they visit Japan in terms of food. Tourists mentioned that they would like to eat Japanese yakiniku. It was then I decided to make an effort to turn the restaurant into a Halal-friendly establishment.
To become Halal-friendly, I switched our source of beef to Miyazaki herb beef (where cattle are fed herbs). In order to acquire Halal certification, I also switched the chicken to the ones from Aomori Shamrock in January 2014 instead of those we originally get from Brazil.
Of course, this switch meant increased costs. While the meat is of high quality, the Halal slaughter means that the Halal-certified meat is certainly more expensive than conventional meat.
Many people misunderstand Halal as a religious diet, but in fact, anyone can enjoy Halal foods. When I took time to learn about Halal food, I came to regard it as something similar to organic food.
I would also like to work on an organic menu in the future to enhance quality and better appeal to Japanese customers.
At present, 80% of our customers are Muslims.
One of our customers, Roger, who has been living in Japan for 26 years, said that "Sumiyakiya is not a Halal restaurant, it is a restaurant that provides Halal dishes".
While we try to cater to Muslim customers as much as possible, it is difficult to make all our facilities and equipment completely Halal-friendly.
During my interview with the owner of Sumiyakiya, he didn't forget to mention that they have non-Halal dishes which use alcohol, such as Bibim guksu (a cold dish made with very thin wheat flour noodles), and his Muslim customers may choose whether to order them.
Although Sumiyakiya often serves Muslims for business gatherings or entertainment, the owner also provides strict guidance to Japanese visitors who might not understand Islam.
Sumiyakiya takes pride in running the restaurant prioritising respect for Muslims, while striving to maintain the level of Japanese omotenashi.
It goes without saying that their dishes taste great.

Q: Placing dynamically added buttons below each other I'm building a calculator app and in it there's a ScrollView, used to show and switch the buttons for operators and units whenever the user switches between modes.
The problem is that I didn't want to create a XML layout for each mode, so I thought of adding those buttons programmatically (which now, for me, seems pretty hard to accomplish). Here's the code that's supposed to add them:
// For each text in texts (which represents the modes), a Button is created and, if its id (represented by the index of its respective text in the list) is greater than 0, it is positioned below the previous one.
fun ScrollView.add(context: Context, input: EditText, texts: List<String>) {
    removeAllViews()

    val container = ConstraintLayout(context).apply {
        layoutParams = ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(WRAP_CONTENT, WRAP_CONTENT).apply {
            topToTop = this@add.top
            startToStart = this@add.left
            endToEnd = this@add.right
        }
    }

    val buttons: MutableList<Button> = mutableListOf()

    texts.forEach { text ->
        val button = Button(context)

        val originalWidth = 60
        val width = originalWidth.toDimension(context, COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP)

        val originalHeight = 60
        val height = originalHeight.toDimension(context, COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP)

        with(button) {
            layoutParams = ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(WRAP_CONTENT, WRAP_CONTENT)

            id = texts.indexOf(text)
            val previous = try { buttons[id - 1] } catch (exception: Exception) { this }

            setWidth(width)
            setHeight(height)

            with(layoutParams as ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) {
                if (id == 0)
                    topToTop = this@add.top
                else if (id > 0) {
                    layoutParams = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(WRAP_CONTENT, WRAP_CONTENT)
                    (layoutParams as RelativeLayout.LayoutParams).addRule(BELOW, previous.id)
                }
            }

            left = this@add.left
            right = this@add.right

            button.text = text
            isAllCaps = false

            textSize = 25f
            while (text().contains(System.getProperty("line.separator").toString())) textSize -= 5

            setOnClickListener { input.input((it as Button).text()) }
            setBackgroundResource(0)

            container.addView(this)
            buttons.add(this)

            val buttonAdded = "[Dynamic List] Button $id added as \"$text\""
            println(if (id == 0) "$buttonAdded." else "$buttonAdded. The button was positioned below \"${previous.text}\" (${previous.id}).")
        }
    }

    addView(container)
}

And here's the code I implemented using the method above:
// Each calculator mode is represented by an Int within the list.
val modes = listOf("calculator" to 1, "length" to 2, "temperature" to 3, "time" to 4)

fun mode(context: Context, button: Button, input: EditText, view: ScrollView) {
    var counter = 0

    val operators = listOf("+", "-", times.toString(), division.toString())
    val length = with(context) { listOf(getString(R.string.light_year), context.getString(R.string.kilometer), context.getString(R.string.hectometer), context.getString(R.string.decameter), context.getString(R.string.mile), context.getString(R.string.meter), context.getString(R.string.centimeter), context.getString(R.string.millimeter), context.getString(R.string.micrometer)) }
    val temperature = with(context) { listOf(getString(R.string.celsius), context.getString(R.string.fahrenheit), context.getString(R.string.kevin), context.getString(R.string.rankine), context.getString(R.string.reaumur)) }
    val time = with(context) { listOf(getString(R.string.year), context.getString(R.string.month), context.getString(R.string.day), context.getString(R.string.hour), context.getString(R.string.minute), context.getString(R.string.second), context.getString(R.string.millisecond)) }

    with(button) {
        setOnClickListener {
            if (counter < modes.size - 1) counter++ else counter = 0

            with(view) {
                val mode: Pair<String, Int>? = modes[counter]

                when (mode?.first) {
                    "calculator" -> add(context, input, operators)
                    "length" -> add(context, input, length)
                    "temperature" -> add(context, input, temperature)
                    "time" -> add(context, input, time)
                }

                text = with(context) {
                    with(resources) { getString(identify(context, mode?.first, "string")) }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Well, the problem is when I run it, the UI ends up looking like this, with all the buttons positioned at the same place:
