As much as we all love to hate that T-word, unfortunately taxes are a fact of life no matter where we live. Portugal is no different and, if you make the move, whether temporarily or permanently, you will need to familiarise yourself with the local tax regulations.
When it comes to taxes, Portugal is just as complex as any other country, and much information is out there. Some of it is more accurate than others and it's always worth checking with a reputable tax accountant to ensure you've got it covered. Also be aware that there are different types of residency in Portugal, and how you register can have a big impact on your taxes.
The amount of property tax varies depending on the value of the property and the year it was built. Property tax is assessed, and is charged in three installments per year.
Note that there are different one-time taxes related to the purchase and sale of property called IMT (Imposto Municipal sobre a Transmissão Onerosa de Imóveis).
An annual tax is charged per vehicle and varies depending on the vehicle type. The tax is payable at the Finanças (Portuguese tax office).
VAT - called IVA in Portugal - becomes relevant if you set up your own business and as to be expected, is quite complex.
Stamp Duty applies to a variety of income and transactions, including inheritance, lottery winnings, selling and leasing property, and the rate varies.
As in any country, income tax can be convoluted and often has ifs and buts and variations depending on individual circumstances. There are different ways to set up your residency in Portugal which can help reduce taxes. As before, consulting a tax accountant before committing to any legally binding situation is recommended.
In brief, residents are taxed on salaries, capital gains, real estate earnings and income from abroad. Foreign earnings may be covered under a tax treaty that will avoid you paying tax in both countries. Part time residency and other situations may mean that income tax is only to be paid on income in Portugal and not on income earned in other countries. Generally speaking tax rates are from 11.5% to 46.5%, depending on income, residency and from where the income generates.
Social security (Segurança Social) charges must be paid by residents, and in general, the current rate for employees is 11% and the employer matches with 23.75%. Social security charges vary for the self employed and depends on what you select, but in general can be between 24% and 32%.
The best information we've managed to find for detailed tax information is on the PWC website, which updates their information annually. However we still recommend consultation with a tax accountant… in case you missed that earlier.
For some light-hearted fun, check out some really unusual taxes and tax laws from around the world!

Q: How to maintain circle velocity after colliding with a square? I'm developing a game where the player is a circle and tiles are squares. The user moves the avatar (circle) with the keyboard, and should not be able to collide with tiles (squares).
Also, I would like the circle to slide along the square if they hit the corner, such that if the player keeps pressing the key to move in the same direction, they will slide along the square instead of getting stuck on it.
I've developed a full reproduction of the problem I'm facing here:

let canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

class Vec2 {
  constructor(x, y) {
    this.x = x || 0;
    this.y = y || 0;
  }

  distance(v) {
    let x = v.x - this.x;
    let y = v.y - this.y;

    return Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
  }

  magnitude() {
    return Math.sqrt(this.x * this.x + this.y * this.y);
  }

  dot(v) {
    return this.x * v.x + this.y * v.y;
  }

  normalize() {
    let magnitude = this.magnitude();

    return new Vec2(this.x / magnitude, this.y / magnitude);
  }

  multiply(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x * val, this.y * val) : new Vec2(this.x * val.x, this.y * val.y);
  }

  subtract(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x - val, this.y - val) : new Vec2(this.x - val.x, this.y - val.y);
  }

  add(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x + val, this.y + val) : new Vec2(this.x + val.x, this.y + val.y);
  }
}

function clamp(value, min, max) {
  return Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max);
}

function drawCircle(xCenter, yCenter, radius) {
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.arc(xCenter, yCenter, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
  ctx.fill();
}

function drawSquare(x, y, w, h) {
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.rect(x, y, w, h);
  ctx.stroke();
}

function circleRectangleCollision(cX, cY, cR, rX, rY, rW, rH) {
  let x = clamp(cX, rX, rX + rW);
  let y = clamp(cY, rY, rY + rH);

  let cPos = new Vec2(cX, cY);

  return cPos.distance(new Vec2(x, y)) < cR;
}

function getCircleRectangleDisplacement(rX, rY, rW, rH, cX, cY, cR, cVel) {
  let circle = new Vec2(cX, cY);

  let nearestX = Math.max(rX, Math.min(cX, rX + rW));
  let nearestY = Math.max(rY, Math.min(cY, rY + rH));
  let dist = new Vec2(cX - nearestX, cY - nearestY);

  let tangentVel = dist.normalize().dot(cVel);

  // The original answer had `cVel.subtract(tangentVel * 2);` here
  // but that was giving me issues as well
  return cVel.add(tangentVel);
}

let circlePos = new Vec2(150, 80);
let squarePos = new Vec2(240, 110);

let circleR = 50;

let squareW = 100;
let squareH = 100;

let circleVel = new Vec2(5, 0);

draw = () => {
  ctx.fillStyle = "#b2c7ef";
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 800, 800);

  ctx.fillStyle = "#ffffff";

  drawCircle(circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR);
  drawSquare(squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH);
}

update = () => {
  draw();

  if (circleRectangleCollision(circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR, squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH)) {
    circleVel = getCircleRectangleDisplacement(squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH, circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR, circleVel);
  }

  circlePos = circlePos.add(circleVel);
}

setInterval(update, 30);
canvas { display: flex; margin: 0 auto; }
<canvas width="800" height="800"></canvas>

If you run the snippet you'll see that the circle correctly moves around the square, but afterwards it moves down and to the right. I'm not sure why this is happening. It should just keep moving completely straight and to the right afterwards.
Unfortunately I'm not very good at math, so I'm having trouble figuring out why this is happening. I learned of the main algorithm through this answer, but also used the following answers as a reference:
One
Two
Three
Another issue I noticed is that if you change the y position of circlePos from 80 to 240, then it still slides along the top of the square, instead of taking the more natural path of sliding along the bottom of the square. I'd like to fix this as well if possible.
In addition, ideally there shouldn't really be any sliding at all if the circle hits the tile straight on, if that makes sense. It should get stuck against the square in that case.

A: I would suggest these changes:
Define two more methods in your class:
  crossProductZ(v) {
    return this.x * v.y - v.x * this.y;
  }

  perpendicular() {
    return new Vec2(this.y, -this.x);
  }

In getCircleRectangleDisplacement replace the return statement with:
return dist.perpendicular().normalize()
           .multiply(cVel.magnitude() * Math.sign(cVel.crossProductZ(dist)));

The idea is that the circle should move perpendicular to the line through the center of the circle and the hit point (which is dist). There are of course two directions on the perpendicular line: it should be the one that is at the same side of dist as is the current velocity vector. That way the circle will choose the right side of the square.
The magnitude of that move should be equal to the magnitude of the current velocity (so that there is no change in speed, just in direction).
Finally, also make this change to the update function:
  let nextCirclePos = circlePos.add(circleVel);
  if (circleRectangleCollision(nextCirclePos.x, nextCirclePos.y, circleR, squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH)) {
    let currentVel = getCircleRectangleDisplacement(squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH, circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR, circleVel);
    nextCirclePos = circlePos.add(currentVel);
  }
  circlePos = nextCirclePos;

The idea here is that we first do the move as usual (circleVel) and see if that would mean a collission. In that case we don't make that move. Instead we get the displacement from the current position.
And, we never update currentVel. That will guarantee that the movement will continue as before once the obstacle is out of the way.
In the snippet below these changes are made. In addition I added a second square in the path of the circle, and once the circle is out of view, I added a second run where the circle takes a different path:

let canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

class Vec2 {
  constructor(x, y) {
    this.x = x || 0;
    this.y = y || 0;
  }

  distance(v) {
    let x = v.x - this.x;
    let y = v.y - this.y;

    return Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
  }

  magnitude() {
    return Math.sqrt(this.x * this.x + this.y * this.y);
  }

  dot(v) {
    return this.x * v.x + this.y * v.y;
  }

  normalize() {
    let magnitude = this.magnitude();

    return new Vec2(this.x / magnitude, this.y / magnitude);
  }

  multiply(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x * val, this.y * val) : new Vec2(this.x * val.x, this.y * val.y);
  }

  subtract(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x - val, this.y - val) : new Vec2(this.x - val.x, this.y - val.y);
  }

  add(val) {
    return typeof val === "number" ? new Vec2(this.x + val, this.y + val) : new Vec2(this.x + val.x, this.y + val.y);
  }

  crossProductZ(v) {
    return this.x * v.y - v.x * this.y;
  }

  perpendicular() {
    return new Vec2(this.y, -this.x);
  }
}

function clamp(value, min, max) {
  return Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max);
}

function drawCircle(xCenter, yCenter, radius) {
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.arc(xCenter, yCenter, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
  ctx.fill();
}

function drawSquare(x, y, w, h) {
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.rect(x, y, w, h);
  ctx.stroke();
}

function circleRectangleCollision(cX, cY, cR, rX, rY, rW, rH) {
  let x = clamp(cX, rX, rX + rW);
  let y = clamp(cY, rY, rY + rH);

  let cPos = new Vec2(cX, cY);

  return cPos.distance(new Vec2(x, y)) < cR;
}

function getCircleRectangleDisplacement(rX, rY, rW, rH, cX, cY, cR, cVel) {
  let circle = new Vec2(cX, cY);

  let nearestX = clamp(cX, rX, rX + rW);
  let nearestY = clamp(cY, rY, rY + rH);
  let dist = new Vec2(cX - nearestX, cY - nearestY);

  return dist.perpendicular().normalize().multiply(cVel.magnitude() * Math.sign(cVel.crossProductZ(dist)));
}

let circlePos = new Vec2(100, 80);
let squarePosList = [new Vec2(240, 110), new Vec2(480, -50)];

let circleR = 50;

let squareW = 100;
let squareH = 100;

let circleVel = new Vec2(5, 0);

draw = () => {
  ctx.fillStyle = "#b2c7ef";
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 800, 800);

  ctx.fillStyle = "#ffffff";

  drawCircle(circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR);
  for (let squarePos of squarePosList) {
    drawSquare(squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH);
  }
}

update = () => {
  draw();

  let nextCirclePos = circlePos.add(circleVel);
  for (let squarePos of squarePosList) {
    if (circleRectangleCollision(nextCirclePos.x, nextCirclePos.y, circleR, squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH)) {
      let currentVel = getCircleRectangleDisplacement(squarePos.x, squarePos.y, squareW, squareH, circlePos.x, circlePos.y, circleR, circleVel);
      nextCirclePos = circlePos.add(currentVel);
      break; // we only deal with one collision (otherwise it becomes more complex)
    }
  }
  circlePos = nextCirclePos;
  if (circlePos.x > 800 + circleR) { // Out of view: Repeat the animation but with a diagonal direction
       circlePos = new Vec2(100, 400);
       circleVel = new Vec2(3.6, -3.6);
  }
}

let interval = setInterval(update, 30);
canvas { display: flex; margin: 0 auto; }
<canvas width="800" height="800"></canvas>

NB: You have some code repetition in the collision and displacement functions. They both calculate almost the same thing. This could be optimised.

Kulpahar
Kulpahar is a town and a nagar panchayat in Mahoba district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a historical town in the Bundelkhand region. Before 11 Feb 1995 Kulpahar was a Tehsil of Hamirpur District. On 11 February 1995 Mahoba District carved out of Hamirpur and Kulpahar is now a part of the Mahoba District. Kulpahar is the largest Subdivision of Uttar Pradesh. Kulpahar is known for its closeness to Khajuraho and other historic places like Mahoba, Charkhari, Kalinjar, Orchha, and Jhansi. This town holds relics of temples and man-made water bodies of the Chandela Dynasty.
Kulpahar was the capital of a princely state of the same name in British India. Kulpahar was founded in 1700 by Senapati, a Bundela Rajput who was the son of Raja Jagat Raj of Jaitpur and grandson of Maharaja Chhatrasal. Kulpahar was captured by the British in 1804, and became a princely state in the Bundelkhand Agency of the Central India Agency. The chief resided at the town of Nowgong in Madhya Pradesh. The fort of Kulpahar, situated on a steep hill, towers more than 800 feet above the sea level, and contains the ruins of elaborately carved sculptures.
Kulpahar is the headquartered of a subdistrict which is headed by a Deputy District Megistrate. The same officer holds the court of Town Megistrate of Kulapahar. Deputy district Megistrate is assisted by four officers one Tehsil Megistrate and two Nayab Tehsil Megistrates.
Kulpahar region comprises of areas which are essentially covered by grey, pink, red granitic rock and black dolerite. The rocks are generally medium to coarse to very coarse grained, having variegated colours with varying textural patterns. In geological nomenclature they can be classified on the basis of colour, grain size and texture.
Kulpahar is also known as the town of best geographical environment and has traced its origins back to prehistoric times. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and can also enjoy its natural beauty concealed by the beautiful landscapes.

Bud Shrake's The Borderland follows so closely on the heels of Stephen Harrigan's The Gates of the Alamo that the reader of Texas fiction could almost believe that there is some deep serendipity at work. Both novels are set in the Texas of the late 1830s, and both are books long in coming that rise to the top of the works produced by these two gifted writers. Harrigan's widely lauded narrative is knocking on the door of the bestseller lists and deservedly so, but now that Shrake's book is here, it becomes apparent that early in this literary year we have been twice blessed.
The Borderland takes place during the first nine months of 1839, three years after the main events of Harrigan's novel end. In many ways that period of Texas history was more unsettled than the spring of 1836 that culminated in the seige of the Alamo, the slaughter at Goliad, and the surprising Texian victory over Santa Anna at San Jacinto. At least the experience of armed battle against Mexico was somewhat unifying -- by the time Shrake's novel opens, the reality of governing an unstable and very vulnerable just-born Republic of Texas has hit, and the future of the fledgling state is in great doubt. The wild and wooly Sam Houston has been replaced as president of the Republic by Mirabeau B. Lamar, an effete poet who has bought into the idea of expanding the Republic to the west, at least to Santa Fe. Toward this end, Lamar is moving the capital of the Republic from the malarial swamps of Houston to the Colorado River village of Austin, where roving bands of Comanches are camped out just beyond the banks of Shoal Creek.
This valley had been a holy place since the beginning of the families on earth. Now these invaders called Texans -- the men with hats -- had marched into the valley with threats and insults and had begun building structures that looked to be intended as permanent. The families had become uneasy in their camps a hundred and more miles west in the hills and forests of Comancheria. They had been at war against Mexico for generations and had strewn the land with dead Mexicans and stolen hundreds of thousands of Mexican horses and taken thousands of Mexican captives as slaves or for trade. But these new invaders with hats were becoming a more sinister enemy than the Mexican army.
Shrake's ease at creating a plausible reality for the Comanche nation reminds us of his masterful 1968 novel Blessed McGill, a work that seamlessly balanced the life of the questing frontiersman McGill with the funk and exoticism of Comanche life.
The twenty streams that flowed through the city were lined with cypress, cottonwood and sycamore trees. Oaks, hackberries, chinaberries, elm and willows grew in abundance. ... In and around the city were rabbits, possums, squirrels, raccoons, foxes, armadillos, roadrunners, pigeons, pheasants, wild turkeys, coyotes, wolves, panthers, otters, beavers, hawks, and often a bear or an eagle would be seen.
Shrake populates this watery paradise with a cast of characters worthy of his legendary Seventies Dennis Hopper film, Kid Blue. Leading the way are Bone, a randy lawyer who is brutally emasculated during a Comanche attack on Barton Creek, and the German landbroker Gruber, who has a Comanche war ax blade sticking out of the back of his head because no doctor dares remove it. Doc Swift and Cullasaja combine the best European medicine with traditional Cherokee remedies with a lot of opium tossed in and soon make themselves invaluable to Austin's raucous community. Adding to Shrake's magic realism laced with opium is Gruber's story of a cave filled with gold, guarded by a half ape/half man located deep in the heart of Comancheria.
I am to land on the Texas coast at a place called Matagorda. The name has a romantic sound, like an exotic jungle outpost. Is Texas a jungle? One hears conflicting reports: that Texas is a jungle, a swamp, a desert, a magnificent forest, a mountain range, a prairie covered with grass taller than a man. One hears Texas is unbearably hot, beastly cold, that it rains fit for Noah but is as dry as the heart of Arabia. One hears Texas has wonderful farmland, but one also hears the Texas earth is hard as stone. One hears the savage red Indians are eight feet tall, that Mexican armies plunder the settlements, that brigands and outlaws roam free, that the people of Texas are friendly and generous, mean and selfish, of high degree and of the very lowest.
Once Hannah makes her way to San Antonio, a new plot element is introduced to balance the coming conflict between the Texans and the Comanches. Without giving too much away, this romantic intrigue commences once the handsome Doc Swift first meets Hannah Dahlman in San Antonio before she is legally married to Caldwell.
Matthew Caldwell, like many others in this marvelous narrative, is expanded from a historic Texas personage. When Caldwell is summoned to President Lamar's quarters in Houston and crosses paths with Felix Huston of Mississippi and Albert Sidney Johnston -- who are vying with each other to lead the Texas Army -- all the facts are true. Yet Shrake shakes off the dust of Texas History Movies, which you probably read in seventh-grade Texas history class, and brings this period and the people into vibrant life, but in a way that carries no "historical novel" stiltedness. This is particularly true of Shrake's portrait of Sam Houston, who, almost in exile, is the figure who still matters most to the defenders of the Republic like Caldwell and his rangering sidekick, Bigfoot Wallace. By the last third of the book, after Caldwell and Doc Swift visit the Comanche cave, the stage is set for the period's two notable Indian battles. The first is the betrayal of the Comanche leaders at the Council House in San Antonio, where the chiefs, trusting Caldwell and thinking they were to discuss a peaceful future with the Texans, are instead led into a trap and slaughtered. After some months to regroup, the Comanches decide to fully engage the men in hats and victimize a group of Texans on the coast, riding away wearing the ladies' shawls, hats, and undergarments. This leads to the important battle of Plum Creek, where the Comanches are routed by the elite of the Texan fighters, now including Felix Huston, Bigfoot Wallace, and Caldwell.
Throughout The Borderland, Shrake weaves together the factual with the spirit world. The result is a kind of highly evolved tall tale that liberates the storytelling into an experience of almost constant surprise. After a hundred pages or so, the wise reader turns himself over to the momentum of the outlandish tale being told, all the while realizing that much of the unlikely story is scrupulously factual. It is almost as if some of the old stories of Austin folklorist J. Frank Dobie were pieced together into a coherent whole -- if Dobie had smoked a little dope and had a style as pleasing as Shrake, who writes like an angel.
Examining Bud Shrake's multilayered career, his leaning toward historical fiction comes out on top. A product of Fort Worth's literary high school, Paschal, and of Texas Christian University, Shrake soon made his mark as one of the country's best sportswriters. Working up his writing and partying chops in Fort Worth and Dallas as a young sportswriter, Shrake eventually joined his great pal Dan Jenkins at Sports Illustrated, where the two perfected the high life in New York. At SI, Shrake fell under the spell of the great editor André Laguerre, who recognized Shrake as a writer whose talents lay beyond reporting on pro football. Accordingly, with his sportswriting career flourishing, Shrake started writing fiction, with two of his first three novels set in the old Texas. The first historical novel was Blood Reckoning, but it was the second, Blessed McGill, that established Shrake as a literary writer to be reckoned with.
Some time after his trenchant Kennedy assassination novel, Strange Peaches, was published in 1972, Shrake turned his attention to screenwriting. In the Eighties, he produced two well-crafted celebrity biographies, Willie Nelson's Willie and Barry Switzer's Bootlegger's Boy. A golfer his entire adult life, Shrake wrote Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons and Teaching From a Lifetime in Golf in 1992. This little volume contained the wisdom of UT's famous old coach, and it, along with four sequels, made sports-book history as bestsellers.
In Gary Cartwright's affectionate profile of Shrake in the current Texas Monthly, Shrake is pictured peering down at Austin from his perch in West Lake Hills, pondering all the changes, just as the Comanches are in The Borderland. Shrake is a writer who appears to keep his ambitions well under wraps. Accordingly, during the last 20 years, through all of the made and not-made movies and television shows and the as-told-to biographies and golf books, Shrake quietly honed this book from an old discarded manuscript and years of research into its present incarnation. But now the hiding in plain sight is over. The Borderland is finally here and we are grateful to once again be reminded of his huge talent.


Legitimacy and Cooperation: Why Do People Help the Police Fight Crime in Their Communities?
Past research indicates that legitimacy encourages compliance with the law. This study extends consideration of the influence of legitimacy by exploring its impact on cooperation with the police and with neighbors to combat crime in one's community. It uses a panel study design and focuses upon the residents of New York City. The study finds that legitimacy shapes cooperation with the police and has a lesser influence on cooperation with others in the community. Consistent with the findings of prior research, legitimacy itself is found to be linked to the justice of the procedures used by the police to exercise their authority. Finally, the study explores the influence of personal experience with the police on legitimacy and cooperation. Results suggest that experiencing procedural justice during a personal experience increases legitimacy, irrespective of the favorability of the outcome. These results suggest that the police can generally enhance their legitimacy by using fair procedures.

Book Review: More FIT 4 the Kingdom
More Fit 4 The Kingdom:
Gain the Spiritual Strength the Savior Emphasized by Following the Training Program He Utilized
by Skye Fagrell
I am one of those who sets goals every year and, after a few weeks, I forget about or become so discouraged by them that I quit. The author helped me to understand that I need to set reasonable, "MOREFIT" goals and plans that help me to achieve my aspirations and turn my dreams into reality. With an engaging writing style, the author weaves athletic analogies into each chapter to help convey a principle related to goal-setting and self-improvement.
One highlight for me was his invitation to focus on the following areas when it comes to self-improvement efforts: 1) Intellectual/Professional, 2) Physical 3) Spiritual 4) Social. While that isn't a particularly novel idea by itself, he went on to explain that people often fail to improve in one area of their life (for example, physical health) because that is the only area on which they are focusing. He persuasively argues that as we seek to improve in all of these areas (i.e. mentally, physically, spiritually and socially), we synergistically increase our likelihood to succeed in each individual area.
One last highlight for me was his chapter on 'Running Your Own Race.' I found this particularly helpful as it is easy to beat ourselves up and fail to see progress when we compare ourselves to others. The author wisely concluded, "It doesn't really matter what pace we're running nor the stage of the race we're in - so long as we're striving to move forward."

Review: Gnomeo & Juliet
Gnomeo & Juliet is a delightful, animated reimagining of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Created by Elton John's production company Rocket Pictures, the Rocket Man's energetic and playful score sets the tone for this consistently clever comedy about feuding red and blue Garden Gnomes on opposite sides of a neighborhood fence. The charming, almost entirely British cast includes James McAvoy, Emily Blunt and Michael Caine; the best part of the film is that you can tell how much fun these actors are having! Their energy and enthusiasm perfectly complement the film's bright, colorful animation. With an enthusiastic cast, fun score and colorful twist on a classic story, I recommend Gnomeo & Juliet for all ages! The trailer is below but the complete film is available here . As always, I recommend checking out the IMDB.com Parents Guide just so that you are aware of any potentially objectionable material before deciding whether to watch it.
Good on Disney+ AND Netflix: Ant-Man
Plot Summary : Henry Pym, genius inventor of a size-shifting suit that enables the wearer to control ants, needs a thief to pull off a world-saving heist of epic proportions. In order to do so, he enlists the help of a recently released ex-con (Paul Rudd) who is hoping to turn his life around. Why It Makes My List: I had limited expectations going into the theater and Ant-Man exceeded them. While not a home-run on the first viewing, the more times I watch it, the more I enjoy it! While it still feels like a Marvel film, it has a distinctly different tone. Whereas The Avengers conflicts are of global consequence , this is much more of a 'save the neighborhood' kind of film, which I found refreshing. It has a lighter tone with several 'laugh out loud' moments and Paul Rudd's normal guy in an extraordinary situation approach comes off quite well. If you liked the heist/romance elements of The Italian Job and the more light-hearted, Marvel flavo
Good On Netflix: Finding Neverland
Plot Summary : Finding Neverland is a refreshingly magical take on the life of playwright J.M. Barrie (Johnny Depp) and how his relationship with a widow (Kate Winslet) and her four sons led to the creation of Peter Pan. Why It Makes My List: It's hard to say what Johnny Depp's 'best' performance is but his portrayal of J.M. Barrie has to be my favorite; he brings an educated naiveté, childish wonder and tenderness to the role, which is arguably the heart of the film. Depp's sensibilities work wonderfully well with then child star Freddie Highmore, who delivers an emotional, heartfelt performance as Peter Davies. While this film is a drama, its charming cast and emotionally satisfying story make for an inspiring film. Other Reasons to Watch: Elegantly Simple Score: In contrast to the booming, pulse-pounding scores of many blockbuster films, Jan A. P. Kaczmarek composed an understated but supremely satisfying score to compliment the emotionally p

Noah Cyrus And Benjamin Gibbard Join For 'Every Beginning Ends.'
Noah Cyrus continues to tease her forthcoming debut album, The Hardest Part, with a duet alongside Death Cab For Cutie's Benjamin Gibbard titled 'Every Beginning Ends,' a spectacularly subtle and heart wrenching country ballad detailing the demise of a tired romance. Recorded in Seattle at Benjamin's studio, their call-and-response details of a dwindling love further cements Cyrus as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Described as "one of the most pulverizing moments on the album" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Noah explains on this collaboration: "That was such a surreal experience. I've always been such a huge fan, so it was pretty daunting to get in the room with him, but once we got to work it all came very naturally." She continues, "we talked about past relationships, failed relationships, our parents' relationships, and relationships that have lasted forever. He told me his dad has a saying: 'you have to wake up and choose to love someone every day,' and it sparked this conversational song about the twilight of a relationship and the reluctance to admit that something has run its course. I relate to that in many ways, not only with me, but also just with my parents' relationship. Writing about that gave me more understanding."
On writing this song with Cyrus, Gibbard shared to Rolling Stone, "I kept coming back to it and just basking in her brilliance," Gibbard says, comparing her writing style to his friend Jenny Lewis'. "It's easy to be mysterious. It's easy to be aloof. It's easy to be cool. It's so much harder to be earnest, and it's so much harder because she's really opening herself up with a lot of these songs."
The Hardest Part will see its global release on September 16

Q: How can I pass optional params to procedure? I have 2 mrthods save() and edit() entity. When I save entity I check date overlap and if date period unique - save. For that I use oracle procedure. If procedure return >0 rows - this period not unique. When I edit entity - it already in db and I need optional check by id.
CallableStatement call = connection.prepareCall("{ ? = call checkDateRangesOverlap(?,?,?,?)}");
call.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER); // or whatever it is
Date dateStart = Date.from(start.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
Date dateEnd = Date.from(end.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
call.setDate(2, new java.sql.Date(dateStart.getTime()));
call.setDate(3, new java.sql.Date(dateEnd.getTime()));
call.setLong(4, user.getId());
call.setLong(5, id);
call.execute();

but if I create new entity - id is null and call.setLong(5, id); throw error.
How can I pass optional params to procedure?

A: If your id can be null, so instead of using call.setLong(5, null) you can use setNull() like this :
if (id == null) {
    call.setNull(5, java.sql.Types.BIGINT);
} else {
    call.setLong(5, id);
}


DeVon Douglass defines the murky term in her own words.
In planning circles, "resilience" often refers to the ability of urban systems to bounce back from environmental shock. On that front, Tulsa, Oklahoma, has its work cut out, ensuring utilities and emergency services have the resources to withstand 130-mph tornadoes whipping through the city.
But to DeVon Douglass, Tulsa's Chief Resilience Officer, resilience is ultimately about the strength of citizens themselves—a tenacity, she says, that starts with individuals and spans out to society.
Appointed by Mayor GT Bynum in December 2016, and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities network, Douglass brings experience as a lawyer and policy analyst to the task of developing a multi-pronged resilience strategy for the Oklahoma metro, zeroing in equity gaps in Tulsa's schools, transportation systems, and the economy.
We spoke to Douglass at the Urban Resilience Summit in New York City in July about the work she's got ahead of her.
What was your definition of resilience coming into this job?
When I first started, I had this idea of youth resilience, because of my previous work with marginalized youth in New Jersey. I was thinking of children who are called dropouts, and the difference between a kid who stays in school and those who don't. What is inside a child that, despite the fact that they have an abusive father, a distant mother, and murders going on on their block, keeps them from pushing to the end of high school and getting to college?
That's their internal resilience, and that's where my first understanding of the word came from. I think it's transferrable to urban environments, to large communities, to our entire city.
How do you transfer a quality inside the individual to the scope of an entire city?
Well, this is more my conceptual framework. We often talk about systems, but we forget that people make up systems and policies, and the policies reflect us as human beings. I think it's useful to think about how we as human beings can withstand trauma individually to think about the whole city.
Can you give me a concrete example?
Our schools have suffered a lot recently. They are in a state of crisis as state funding for them has plummeted. Our state funding formula is odd to begin with, to say the least—we've had the lowest teacher salary and more cuts to public education than any state in the union since 2008. Across the state, we're cutting programs, moving to four-day school weeks, taking away stuff these babies need.
I think we need a two-pronged approach with resiliency [in schools]: more funding to raise money for them, but also rethinking schools so we can get people excited about them again. I'd like to make schools places where families can get wraparound public services, and where parents and grandparents can come and get new skills. So [like people themselves], there are external changes and internal factors that come into play. Paris has done work around making schools neighborhood centers, anchors in a community—I have found that very inspiring.
Transportation is another example of a challenge we have here. It's very limited. We just started having Sunday bus service on July 2. When we don't have that infrastructure for mobility, when you don't have the external factors, a person has to be all the more resilient internally to get where they're going. And even then that's not enough. Also, health—kids who grow up in different parts of the city have vastly different life expectancies. I want to strengthen the work the city has already been doing to fix that.
Tulsa has attracted attention lately for its revitalized downtown core. How does the city's economic development strategy play into your work?
A lot of times, when people talk about economic development, it's about attracting young white people to the city and getting them to stay. That's great. We want that. However, [that conversation leaves out] people who already live here, people of color, and middle-aged folks. Economic development doesn't necessarily have to mean big shiny projects every time. It's [resources like small grants or training programs] serving people at every socioeconomic strata.
Where are you in the process of devising a resiliency plan for Tulsa?
We've drafted our discovery area questions—we're focused on racial equity, social cohesion, and health disparities. We are working still to define resilience in Tulsa in a way for everyone to come on the same page. We're partnering with organizations, business leaders, utilities, and the schools to create strategies that build resilience in individuals themselves and the systems that support them.
Black girl magic is a thing, but I'm not actually a magician—I can't do it all by myself. I want to make sure that the city of Tulsa is all a part of this process, including people who aren't normally included at table. Because this is ultimately for Tulsans.
Do your progressive ideas ever clash with your Republican mayor's?
It's a non-issue. Mayor Bynum is someone who understands that we need the best people for the best solutions. Marginalized people in the city of Tulsa need our help. It's part of my job is to amplify their voices and find out what they have to say, figure out strategies to help them, regardless of party, gender, and race. As everyone knows with city politics, you just have to get things done.
The mayor doesn't put partisan politics in front of what he's doing; he believes in solving problems. That's pretty progressive to me. I'd call him a progressive conservative.
Well, I'm very progressive. Almost everything I believe lines up with the Democratic party. But I'm a registered Republican in Tulsa County. Partly because "when in Rome," and partly because of a couple of ideological differences. So, to have the mayor on my side, it's not hard.
The U.S. has an extremely divisive commander-in-chief in office. How do presidential politics affect your work building cohesion?
Presidential politics do become a distraction when there's real work that needs to be done at the municipal level. And it does make things more difficult for me personally. But it also lets Tulsa be an island of respite. When you have a mayor who has hired people of all different racial and economic backgrounds, folks who are and aren't from Tulsa, and who brought in the last Democratic mayor as his chief of economic development—it allows people to se what politics could be like. When people who live in Tulsa see our city government in stark contrast to federal government, it gives them hope and belief in what we're doing.

Q: JSON-Server not returning single child element by ID I'm trying to get Json-Server (v 0.12.1) working without the need for middleware or using it as a component - I already have something that works fine if I'm going to take the time to manually code all the endpoints. I'm attracted to the simplistic route config, and I believe I should be able to use it without requiring anything but a routes.json and db.json (letting me remove a lot of boilerplate express stuff).
My db.json:
  "users": [
    {
      "userId": 1,
      "favoriteColor": "red"
    },
    {
      "userId": 2,
      "favoriteColor": "blue"
    },
    {
      "userId": 3,
      "favoriteColor": "green"
    }
  ]

My routes.json:
{
    "/api/users": "/users",
    "/api/users/:userId": "/users/:userId"
}

I want to be able to make a GET call to: http://localhost:3000/api/users/2 and get
{
  "userId": 2,
  "favoriteColor": "blue"
}

in return. However, I always just get {}.
Trying to use some suggestions from SO which either change the data structure (which I don't have control over) or using filters (which returns an array, not an object) are no-go for me.
Does anyone know why this seemingly-simply route is not working? I believe I'm following the custom route guidelines. I'm starting the server with json-server --watch ./api/db.json --routes ./api/routes.json, and hitting http://localhost:3000/api/users returns exactly what I expect, so I know the routes.json file and db.json file are both being picked up successfully.
Thank you!

A: I gotta working starting the server with:
json-server --watch db.json --routes routes.json

Shaandaar 6th Day Box Office Collection
Alia Bhatt's most awaited movie "Shaandaar" was released on 22nd October 2015. the movie has received mixed reviews from critics and public. Shaandaar is a romantic comedy film, written and directed by Vikas Bahl and produced by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane. Shaandaar has got off to a good start at the Box Office. the movie has been released in 3500+ Screens worldwide. Shaandaar is a fun family entertainer which has created a huge buzz before its release.
Shaandaar Movie Review : Don't you love that feeling when you walk out of a film humming, ready to break into a jig? That's the kind of film this is. Which is not surprising, as it is a Karan Johar film through and through. He even has a guest appearance in it! And if you like his particular brand of family films, you will be running for this movie before you read the last word.
The essential story is not new (quite like Cinderella and other fairy tales) but it is freshly told. It explores a father-daughter relationship that flourishes in the absence of a mother's love. The film begins with an animation sequence that explains the reason behind Alia's alienation from her mother and grandmother (Sushma Seth). Something that doesn't seem to bother young Alia (Alia Bhatt) much, who like most kids today shrugs it off, choosing to focus on her intimate connection with her father (Pankaj Kapur) and somewhat cliched relationship with her fat sister (Sanah Kapoor) instead.

According to the latest reports, Shaandaar has got the normal opening at the box office. Shaandaar 6th Day Box Office Collection is Rs 2.9 Cr (Approx).

Reconciliation and the Libyan elections
Kamel Abdallah , Tuesday 7 Sep 2021
The release of members of the former regime in Libya, including a son of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, should help to achieve national reconciliation before December's elections
As diplomatic efforts continue to salvage the Libyan elections scheduled for December, the authorities in Tripoli this week announced the release of Saadi Gaddafi, son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Ahmed Ramadan, former Libyan dictator's personal secretary and Naji Harif Gaddafi, a senior security official under Gaddafi, along with a number of other affiliates of the former regime.
The authorities believe this step will help to pave the way to comprehensive reconciliation in the war-torn country.
The Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU) stated that Saadi Gaddafi, held in prison in Tripoli since March 2014, had been released to his family "in accordance with legal procedures" and "in implementation of a judicial ruling two years after the ruling for his release in cooperation with the Office of the Public Prosecutor and the Agency for Counterterrorism and Organised Crime."
The GNU statement, posted on its Facebook page, reaffirmed its "commitment to fulfilling its pledge to release all prisoners whose legal circumstances so determine without exception," adding the hope that "these efforts will promote the comprehensive national reconciliation course in Libya, the foundation of which is the enforcement of and respect for the law."
The Gaddafi Tribal Council posted an announcement on its Facebook page on Sunday evening confirming Saadi's and Harif's release without mentioning details.
The Libyan Presidency Council in a statement released on Monday morning also announced the release of "a number of political prisoners who had served their sentences or who had not been found guilty by the courts."
The release of Gaddafi's personal secretary Ahmed Ramadan was a gesture to promote comprehensive national reconciliation in Libya, the council said, pledging to continue to work to coordinate the release of all prisoners who had not received prison sentences.
"This process is in the framework of the [Presidency Council's] hands-on follow-up on the political prisoners issue with all the concerned parties," the statement said. The measure was "an affirmation of the values of justice and the principles of human rights in building the new Libya."
The statement added that Minister of Justice Halima Abdel-Rahman had asked to accelerate the release of all persons forcibly imprisoned without charge and to bring all those facing charges to trial as soon as possible.
Saadi Gaddafi, acquitted on the charge of killing former football player Bishr Al-Rayani, left Tripoli on a private jet bound for Istanbul from where he will travel to Cairo, according to Libyan media. Ramadan was taken by military helicopter from Tripoli to his hometown in Al-Asaba in western Libya where he was greeted by members of his family.
The prisoner release in Tripoli occurred soon after eight detainees were released in Sirte under the supervision of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) created under the UN-sponsored Berlin Process for Libya.
The JMC is currently overseeing a prisoner exchange between the belligerents in the Libyan conflict in accordance with the ceasefire agreement signed in Geneva last October. Mohamed Al-Rajoubi, the head of the Misrata Council of Dignitaries and Elders, said that he had received three detainees who originated from Misrata and five from Gharyan.
The release of Gaddafi's son and several Gaddafi officials was celebrated by supporters of the old regime and members of the Gaddafi tribe, who have indicated they are looking forward to closing that chapter.
The development is part of a larger trend among various segments of Libyan society to build new alliances. This applies in particular to Tripoli, where several militia groups are competing for control over the capital and other parts of western Libya.
In contrast to the GNU's statement explaining that the releases were meant to pave the way for national reconciliation, some observers believe the step was part of the prime minister's efforts to strengthen his alliance with old regime affiliates who played a role in helping him to power through the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) that created the new executive in February.
Mohamed Ibrahim Al-Darat, director of the Presidency Council's Policies Support Bureau, told Al-Ahram Weekly that "the recent releases of former regime officials was a response to social and tribal pressures more than it was part of a comprehensive process of national reconciliation."
During the past three years, former regime officials had taken advantage of mechanisms to get out of prison and these were implemented with the aim of winning political support.
Al-Darat said the release of Saadi Gaddafi and other former regime officials was best understood in the context of the current political interplay in western Libya in the lead up to the elections. The people who had helped to secure their release "believe they can benefit from the social and tribal forces affiliated with the former regime and obtain their support in the forthcoming elections," he said.
GNU Prime Minister Abdel-Hamid Al-Dabeiba appears to have more immediate concerns than the elections. Two members of his cabinet are at loggerheads in a dispute over their areas of jurisdiction, and some members of the House of Representatives have initiated a campaign to withdraw confidence from his government.
Last week, Libyan Minister of Oil and Gas Mohamed Aoun berated head of the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) Mustafa Sanaalla for having taken a business trip abroad without obtaining the minister's permission.
Aoun dismissed Sanaalla and filed a complaint against him, and Dabeiba stepped in as a way of mending fences. On Monday, Aoun announced that he was sticking to his demand for a reshuffle of the NOC board of directors, which has long been headed by Sanaalla.
In order for the Libyan elections to proceed as planned in December, the LPDF needs to approve their constitutional basis. Some LPDF members called for a meeting in Tripoli this month to complete deliberations over the text of this, and UN Special Envoy for Libya Jan Kubiš has been shuttling back and forth between various Libyan parties in order to encourage progress towards this end.
In the last meeting two weeks ago, he said he would not call for an LPDF plenary unless he could be sure that members would discuss the constitutional basis without getting sidetracked into other issues. He exhorted them to fulfill their responsibilities to the Libyan people, who have their hearts set on presidential and legislative elections on 24 December, he said.

"On the afternoon of Friday week a fire broke out at Meppershall and assumed dimensions which are happily of rare occurrence in this part of the county, and which resulted in the total destruction of a farm and homestead, 23 stacks, six cottages, a horse and other live stock – representing a total loss of over three thousand pounds."
"The scene at the height of the fire was a remarkable one; from the farm itself there burst up a huge column on flame and smaller columns were rising from the two groups of cottages, the whole lighting up the village with an intense light. The high wind fanned the flames enormously, and pieces of burning thatch and portions of the stacks were blown long distances; some, indeed, fell burning at Henlow station, two miles away".
"The scene which is now presented to the visitors gaze is a melancholy one. The peaceful village has as it were, been turned topsy-turvy. Here and there has been seen a man or woman gazing woefully at the ruins of what perchance was a household idol – a treasured gift. Nothing now remains but what was unburnable: the twisted lathes and frames of beds, and so on… The remains of the unfortunate horse and of some pigs and fowls which shared a like fate are visible"
Those who lost their homes included elderly widows, and newborn children. They appear to have been put up by other members of the community in the immediate aftermath of the fire, and a relief fund was arranged. The article does observe a positive side to the disaster: "From a sanitary reformers point of view, the destruction of the six cottages is not to be regretted. They were specimens of a type which is now becoming obsolete… Probably, and indeed this is to be hoped, they will be replaced by cottage homes more worthy of the name."
