When rainfall saturated Branson, Mo., and water levels rose to dangerous levels last week, permits were revoked by the Water Patrol Division of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and all events - including the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open - were canceled on Table Rock Lake.
With the collaborative efforts of the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Table Rock State Park, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bass Pro Shops, the anglers will have their shot at tackling this fishery.
The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open has been rescheduled for Oct. 20-22, 2011.
"Yes, it's true that the water from the 2011 spring storm reached the highest level ever recorded on Table Rock Lake, surpassing 935 feet," said Ross Summers, president/CEO of the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau. "By the time the October tournament gets here, the wind and wave action will have reduced the leaves and small tree limbs to mulch along the shoreline. The organic matter actually adds nutrients to the water to provide for great spawning and cover, which is good for fishing!"
The new daily launch time is 7:15 a.m. CT from Table Rock Lake State Park Marina, 380 State Park Marina Drive, Branson, MO 65616.
Weigh-ins will take place Oct. 20 and Oct. 21 at 3:15 p.m. CT at the launch location, and the final weigh-in, Saturday, Oct. 22, will be at 4:15 p.m. CT in front of the Branson Landing water fountain next to the Branson Bass Pro Shops, 1 Bass Pro Drive, Branson, MO 65616.
"With immense postseason awards like the Bassmaster Elite Series and the Bassmaster Classic at stake, we felt that eliminating an event from the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open division was not in the best interest of the anglers, fans and sponsors," said Chris Bowes, senior tournament manager of B.A.S.S.
"Once it was determined that the event would be rescheduled, we knew we had great partnerships with Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Table Rock State Park, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and our title sponsor Bass Pro Shops to make it happen. Staying at Table Rock Lake was a no-brainer for B.A.S.S."

The 22 Best Comic Drunks (and Drunk Comics) of All Time
New Year's Eve — what a wonderful time of year! When we all have a rare chance to start out all over again with a clean slate…and then generally use the opportunity to commit acts we will spend the beginning of the new year regretting! (Not me — it's been many a long year since I've ushered in the new year with a hangover. In which case my regret now is that I wasn't at a party.)
At any rate – -thank God we have comedians to show us how asinine we look when we have a few too many. Here are some of the best comic drunks of all time (clink on the links to learn more about each comedian). We cut it off at 21 — the drinking age.
It's seldom foregrounded, undoubtedly because Charlie Chaplin does so many things so well, but he is one of the greatest comic drunks of all time. There have been certain comedians down through the years who have made drunkenness their whole act. Chaplin could easily have gone this route. His bit in A Night at an English Music Hall had gotten him widespread notice; on the strength of it he was hired by Keystone. The routine was a favorite with audiences; during his Keystone stint he would showcase his talent as an inebriate in around 20% of his films, starting with his second picture Mabel's Strange Predicament. He never abandoned this reliable comedy wellspring. It appears in his work as late as Limelight (1952), one of his last films.
Joe E. Brown
A hilarious comic drunk, as he has the opportunity to showcase in many of his films of the 1930s.
Leon Errol
In his years in burlesque and with the Ziegfeld Follies, Errol developed a top notch comic drunk bit, which he milked for most of his career. The character was not a down-and-outter. Usually, it was more of a bourgeois hail-fellow-well-met…a Rotarian, trying to sneak in at 2 in the morning so the wife won't hear. The piece de resistance to his characterization was his patented, rubbery-legged walk, which made it look as though he would collapse to the ground any minute. You can see him do this in countless comedy shorts of the 1930s, and in Lupe Velez's Mexican Spitfire comedies of the 1940s.
Marie Dressler
Trust me. Watch her drunk bits in Chasing Rainbows and Anna Christie (both 1930). Stage and screen veteran Dressler was mighty expert and mighty funny at being blotto.
Multi-talented, multi-media comedian Red Skelton was famous for his "Guzzler's Gin" routine.
Jack Norton
Jack Norton played a drunk in walk-ons almost exclusively — best remembered today for his turns in Preston Sturges comedies and in W.C. Field's The Bank Dick.
Arthur Housman
Housman had actually starred in his own series of comedies in the teens and twenties. By the '30s he was a bit player who specialized in drunks, appearing in many of Hollywood's great comedy classics.
John Berkes
Early in his career, John Berkes had co-starred in comedy shorts with the likes of Bob Hope and Shemp Howard. Later he was a bit player who specialized in "drunks" and "bums".
Bert Roach
Bert Roach also had a career going back to the silent days. Come talkies, he amassed 15 bit player credits with character names being some variation on "drunk", with many additional credits as "bartender" or "partygoer" — frequently lit ones.
The great Thomas Mitchell could play all sorts of characters, but we remember him particularly for drunk turns, like the alcoholic doctor in John Ford's Stagecoach (1937), and Uncle Billy's celebratory "Ole Building and Loan Pal" moment in It's a Wonderful Life (1947).
Hal Smith
Hal Smith played Otis the town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show, generally the only occupant in the jail cell. In some episodes, out of habit, he would wander in and lock himself up.
Best remembered as Mr. Whipple in the Charmin toilet tissue commercials, Dick Wilson also had a lucrative sideline playing drunks in sight gags on tv shows like Bewitched and The Flying Nun. Basically the shtick was that he would be walking down the street, loaded, and see something weird (usually caused by magic, or something). Then he would do a double take, or stare at his liquor bottle as if to say "What's IN this stuff?" and throw the bottle away.
Foster Brooks
I don't think I'll hear much dissent if I call him the greatest comic drunk of all time. When ya find yer niche, baby, work it!
I refer to the Arthur movies, of course, although both they and star Dudley Moore, though funny at first, rapidly grew tiresome. Like straight liquor itself, a little bit goes a long way.
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley
It may not be too much to say that the stars of Absolutely Fabulous rewrote the history of comedy. Trailblazers, and among the funniest people who ever lived. They are slapstick pioneers, in that it's fairly unprecedented (rare, at least) for women to take the brakes off and totally humiliate themselves for our glee. I only put them this far down the list because they are contemporary.In terms of how highly I rate them as comic artists, it's near the top.
Again, blazing new comedy trails even as we speak. Full equality means the freedom to be (or, in this case, portray) a woman who's capable of being as big a train wreck as a man. I don't know enough about her, though, (since she's so convincing) to know for sure whether she belongs in the present category, or in THIS one:
DRUNK COMICS WHO WERE ACTUALLY KIND OF DRUNK A LOT OF THE TIME
Downing suds in "International House"
We love him for bits like the funnel he uses to get his housekey in the lock in You're Telling Me, and for leaping off an airplane to retrieve a falling whiskey bottle in Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. But the laughter masked serious consequences. Booze took a serious toll on his health during his last decade, and eventually took his life in 1946.
'Nuff said.
Definitely the originator of the whole Rat Pack thing of comically celebrating and glamorizing booze from the night club stage, this comedian was a big influence on the two men pictured below as well as the guy who played him in The Joker is Wild, Frank Sinatra.
How Sweet It is!
Dino had a lot going for him — great pipes, many hit records, decent acting chops, and for a time he was one of the best straight men in the business. On his tv variety show and his later Celebrity Roasts, he generally made out that he was half sloshed. Was that tea in his glass? Or whiskey? I've heard both.
At any rate, Have a Happy New Year! And may all tonight's inevitable alcoholic fueled nonsense result in comedy, not tragedy.

Lynn Berg says:
Great list, Trav! I recently had someone express their concern about me portraying alcoholism for comedy. They were concerned for people that actually struggle with alcoholism that may come to the show. My experience at an AA meeting was that some drunks have a great sense of humor about it. Others don't.
travsd says:
Thanks Lynn! I actually wrote a bit about that conundrum in "Chain of Fools" — I'm shocked I didn't transplant it into this post but I guess I didn't want to (hic) spoil the party. But seriously, it is among the things worth contemplating. I don't think it's all cruelty. I think there's tragedy we can all relate to mixed in, not unlike the pain that comes with slapstick. We've all either been that person or had them cause a commotion in our lives, or in our subway car. Ultimately, I think there's something healthy about laughing about it. I don't know why. Maybe because we're all headed to the same place in the end — we have to prioritize what we get grim about, and laugh off the rest. And that's up the individual, I guess. Have a happy new year!
John Smith (@keller78rpm) says:
One of the last great drunks was Dick Wilson in his recurring role in "Bewitched."
I loved that guy!
Arthur Schroeck says:
Stan Laurel and his laughing binges.
charlesfroland1970 says:
Great stuff !!!
jinglesbelle says:
I spent many of my late mornings with that wonderful crooner Dean Martin at The Hamburger Hamlet on the Sunset Strip before going to work for Hollywood's Hip Hypnotist Pat Collins. By the time I would arrive at the Hamlet at 11:00 a.m. , Dean would be there with 3 empty martini glasses and one he was sipping on hardly moving. His son had died in an airplane crash. I don't think he ever recovered from the loss.
I'd heard that. His last stretch on this earth sounds very sad, given the happiness he gave to millions. You paint a very vivid picture. Thanks for writing!
Cladrite Radio says:
I might nominate for inclusion on this list character actor Will Stanton, who specialized in playing drunks in the 1930s (and he's pretty good at it!).
Of his 62 credits from that decade listed at IMdB, 14 of them have "drunk" or "drunken" in the character's name or description.
aha, this must be investigated! Thanks for the tip, sir
Paul F. Etcheverry says:
Honorable (and inebriated) mentions: Arthur Housman for his role in Laurel & Hardy's SCRAM (1932) and Charley Chase's rubber leg bit in HIS WOODEN WEDDING (1925).
Steve Anderson says:
Great list, Trav. My favorite is Foster Brooks. I could never watch him and not laugh.
Michael A. Gonoude says:
Absolutely NO objection to "The Lovable Lush", Mr. Foster Brooks! It' most unfortunate that, shortly after he attained his greatest level of fame, alcoholic humor fell out of favor (thanks to M.A.D.D., and the increased news focus on drunk driving accidents). He managed to reinvent himself somewhat as a straight character actor, but never achieved his prior level of success.
yes! "Distinguished older gentleman" doesn't get them rolling in the aisles nearly as much as "wino"!

Ana de Armas, Quentin Tarantino among presenters for 2023 Golden Globes
WASHINGTON: The presenters for the 80th Golden Globes have been announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
According to Variety, an American media company, the line-up for the event includes nominees Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis and Niecy Nash as well as Ana Gasteyer, Billy Porter, Colman Domingo, Natasha Lyonne, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Nicole Byer, Quentin Tarantino and Tracy Morgan.
Other nominees expected to appear at the ceremony include Austin Butler, 'The Fabelmans' team of Steven Spielberg, Michelle Williams and Tony Kushner; and, most likely, Daniel Craig.
The team behind animated film nominee 'Turning Red', including director Domee Shi, is expected, as is director Park Chan-wook.
The Globes seeks to re-establish itself as one of Hollywood's hottest awards ceremonies. For nearly the past two years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has faced backlash for lack of diversity among its membership and complaints of unethical business practices
Brendan Fraser, who starred in 'The Whale', is the sole nominee who has declared publicly that he will not attend due to his prior interactions with the HFPA.
There will be other no-shows, but not necessarily because of issues with the organization, reported Variety.
The HFPA also announced Monday that Sony Music Masterworks recording artist, composer, producer and activist Chloe Flower will appear during the telecast and will release a new song, "Golden Hour," inspired by her participation.
As per Variety, the three-hour telecast, airing live on NBC and Peacock from the Beverly Hilton, will be hosted by Emmy winner Jerrod Carmichael. (ANI)

Can a 28 year old get ovarian cancer?
What is the youngest age for ovarian cancer?
Is ovarian cancer found at an early age?
What was your first symptom of ovarian cancer?
How long can u have ovarian cancer without knowing?
Can you feel ovarian cancer?
What are 3 symptoms of ovarian cancer?
Who is most at risk of ovarian cancer?
How common is ovarian cancer by age?
How common is ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer is rare in people under 40, and particularly rare in girls and young women between the ages of 15 and 19, but it can occur.
According to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA), ovarian cancer is rare in people under 40 years old. However, people under 40 can still develop ovarian cancer. A person who is younger than 40 years old may be at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer if they: have breast cancer before the age of 40.
Ovarian cancer is rare in women younger than 40. Most ovarian cancers develop after menopause. Half of all ovarian cancers are found in women 63 years of age or older.
It was not surprising to find that the women <30 were more likely to have grade 1 and early-stage cancers. In fact, over 40% of ovarian cancers in the age 30–60 cohort had early-stage disease compared to less than 25% in the older cohort.
Early symptoms of ovarian cancer can include bloating, cramping, and abdominal swelling. Since many conditions, like fluctuating hormones or digestive irritation, can cause these symptoms, sometimes they're overlooked or mistaken for something else.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: You asked: Which cancers feed on ketones?
Ovarian cancer can be asymptomatic for several years, which makes it challenging to diagnose. There is some good news: Overall, cancer rateshave declined over the past 20 years.
Bloating. Pelvic or abdominal (belly) pain. Trouble eating or feeling full quickly. Urinary symptoms such as urgency (always feeling like you have to go) or frequency (having to go often)
Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:
Abdominal bloating or swelling.
Quickly feeling full when eating.
Discomfort in the pelvic area.
Fatigue.
Back pain.
Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation.
A frequent need to urinate.
As with most cancers the risk of developing ovarian cancer increases as a woman gets older. Women over the age of 50 have a higher risk, and most cases of ovarian cancer occur in women who have already gone through the menopause. More than half the cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed are women over 65 years.
Ovarian cancer makes up about 3% of all cancers among women. It most frequently develops after menopause, and half of ovarian cancers are diagnosed in women age 63 years or older. Women of all ages are at risk of developing ovarian cancer, but it is rare among women younger than 40.
Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. A woman's risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 78. Her lifetime chance of dying from ovarian cancer is about 1 in 108.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Best answer: What does it mean to have cancer in both breasts?

A photo fixation system is most commonly used for transport surveillance. Such a monitoring system is crucial for businesses, dealing with logistics and road freightage. Organization of event fixation by means of snapshots can be applied to various areas: fixation of fueling, passenger boarding, delivery of goods and etc.
The system of events fixation is targeted at monitoring and keeping track of vehicles. A company, operating the fixation system, is able to make investment decisions, coordinate operation processes of various services, attain cost cutbacks, and improve employee discipline and service quality, as well as road transportation safety in general. Furthermore, the innovative system of transport events fixation makes it possible to control fuel consumption and guarantee cargo safety and delivery.
System makes vehicle surveillance significantly easier. All the monitoring data is represented by means of snapshots, which enables to estimate operating efficiency of motor vehicle. The experience of the photo fixation system implementation proves that efficiency of transport utilization rises up to 40% due to tracking system usage. This solution makes it possible not only to receive information about any of minor violations, which influence the transportation costs, but also to eliminate them quickly and effectively.

Visual discovery vendor in implementer support.
TARGIT is named a leading vendor in every peer group related to operational BI, big data analysis, and mobile BI with customers reporting the product's evolution and adaptation to enterprise requirements. In addition, the survey shows TARGIT is leading in all of its peer groups on innovation and on implementer support.
"What is especially unique for TARGIT is their inclusion across all of the three survey peer-groups; ad-hoc reporting, OLAP Analysis, and Data Discovery/Visualization," says Carsten Bange, BARC CEO and Founder. "It illustrates TARGIT's holistic approach to designing one integrated solution for ad-hoc reporting, OLAP analysis and data discovery/visualization to meet the information needs across the enterprise. In fact, no other vendor in the survey is listed across all three peer-groups."
The BARC survey is based on 3,224 responses.

Thirsty Pilgrim: Of Middling Soccer and Great Thirst.
Nearly four years ago, I was in the nosebleeds in Gelsenkirchen watching the USA get shellacked by the Czech Republic, 3-0. I was shunning the Budweiser not for any high-minded principles, but because the line was too long. So much for the Germans boycotting the King of Beers as sponsor in their own homeland. Let's be honest: At a momentous event like the World Cup, you will drink whatever is handy. As long as it's handy.
Not too many beers are handy here in Costa Rica. But the San Jose suburb of Escazú, home to many well-heeled foreigners, seems to have more handy than the rest of the country. In particular, the best selection we have found — such as it is — is at a gringo-run sports pub called the Time Out Tavern. There one can find Duvel and Guinness among a wide variety of international lagers. And there one can also find Sam Adams. Which naturally we appreciate like never before.
Tonight we'll be at the Time Out, watching the USA play Czech Republic for the first time since my heart and many others were broken in Germany. It's just a friendly, but it's also a World Cup tune-up. And a chance for comeuppance. And Sam Adams, brewer and patriot, will be handy. So it's not meaningless.
There is no sign saying "Time Out" in front of the pub. The painted wall flags down knowing gringos in plain English. Want to find it? Look about 300 meters uphill from the Costa Rica Country Club. That's what passes for an address in these parts.
Tough one for the USA but mostly 2nd string guys. It'll better in SA. We'll be in rural France for the opening game v England and I am hoping some cafe will have it on TV.

A few meters from Avenida Paulista and its glazed buildings, this brick house exposed survives. Built in 1915, the residence has been preserved by the creative restoration project SuperLimao Studio, which converted the house into a commercial space.
The task was not easy. With nearly a century of existence, the house was built in masonry with very compartmentalized spaces, and has undergone several renovations.
A number of structural changes to unify the environments, and the office chose to make them explicit, contrasting the old with the new was needed. Thus, there arises an exoskeleton of steel frame that supports the load of the project, plus two floors.
The restoration techniques are inspired by the preservation work done in medieval works in Italy. In Sao Paulo, the studio wanted to mark the passage of time, exposing the brickwork, metal channels and all the "layers" of reforms for which the house passed.
The roof beams, floors, door frames and windows are not restored, were transformed into furniture and coatings, reinvention in which the office also stands out in projects like Firma Casa and Sofa Café.
In this work, the external floor was executed with old broken tiles and the door was tailored to the roof beams.
Another striking feature of the architects work is the balance between legislation and energy efficiency. The shape is pyramid shaped according to the occupation laws and promotes a healthy environment in the interior. All spaces are flexible and have terraces, and can be accessed by a lift.
As for sustainability, the house Marilia (now an office) also earn points. Ventilation is crossed and has been studied by electronic models, reducing the cost of artificial ambiance.
Rainwater is also collected through hidden under the floor drains, to be then filtered and stored in two reservoirs of 10,000 liters. Small vessels were also placed on top of the project, allowing the water to descend by gravity, with minimal need for pumping.
Even the prefabricated structure was specified to reduce transportation costs and related emissions of carbon dioxide.

AND IN THE MATTER OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (TRAFFICKING) ACT, 2000, AND IN THE MATTER OF ORDER 84 OF THE RULES OF THE SUPERIOR COURTS 1986 – 2011 AND IN THE MATTER OF BUNREACHT NA hÉIREANN No. 88 J.R.
By notice of motion of the 20th February, 2015, the applicants seek leave to apply for judicial review of decisions refusing the applicants permission to land in the State on the 3rd November, 2012. The applicants apply for an extension of time within which to apply for leave to seek judicial review. The respondents have issued a motion for security for costs.
The applicants were refused permission to land pursuant to s. 4(3)(k) of the Immigration Act 2004 on the 3rd November, 2012.
S. 5(1)(dd) of the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act, 2000 as inserted by s. 16(b) of the Immigration Act, 2004 provides that such decisions may only be challenged by judicial review commenced within fourteen days of the notification of the decisions which the applicants accept happened in the airport on the 3rd of November 2012. These proceedings should have issued on or before the 17th of November, 2012, and are out of time. An extension of time is required.
The applicants returned to Nigeria immediately.
We request that you use your good office to investigate and vitiate or lift the denial or refusal of permission to enter into the Republic of Ireland … and… that appropriate response is made to our Clients in this regard without delay.
We also request that any negative report or restrictions placed on our clients in your records be immediately removed.
Please note that our Clients will pursue this redress to a meaningful conclusion and will engage the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Media if need be to ensure that such inhuman treatments are not meeted to our Clients or any other Nigerian nationals amongst others.
Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS).
General Immigration will investigate the allegations. … They will revert to you directly on the result of his investigation.
Neither the applicants, their Nigerian lawyers, nor the Irish authorities took any further steps arising from this correspondence in the fifteen months that followed.
Almost four months later the applicants in the instant proceedings applied ex parte for leave to quash "the decision of the Respondent of the 19th day of March, 2014, to refuse to grant or overturn a 'Leave to Land' decision in respect of the applicants pursuant to s. 4 of the Immigration Act 2004." Other reliefs were also sought. An ex parte application for leave to seek judicial review was made in respect of these proceedings on the 7th July, 2014. The applicants were granted leave to seek judicial review by this court and the proceedings were returnable by the 20th October, 2014.
These earlier proceedings were grounded on affidavits of the applicants dated 6th June, 2014. No averments therein supported an application for an extension of time.
By notice of motion filed on 4th December, 2014, the respondents sought an order setting aside the grant of leave made ex parte on 7th July, 2014.
On 26th January, 2015, this court set aside its decision of 7th July, 2014, and the judicial review proceedings were dismissed. This court decided that the judicial review proceedings had not been instituted in accordance with s. 5 of the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act (2000) as amended The court granted the applicants liberty to issue and serve a fresh notice of motion for leave to seek judicial review and to apply for extension of time.
The present judicial review proceedings resulted and were commenced by issuing and serving a notice of motion on 20th February 2015. Leave to challenge the "refusal to land" decisions of 3rd November, 2012, is sought, unlike the earlier proceedings which challenged the much later decision of 19th March, 2014, affirming those earlier decisions. The applicants did not swear affidavits in this new proceeding.

The three Bundesliga teams had mixed results in the Europa League.
Eintracht Frankfurt won their duel with Standard Liège and have now a good chance to qualify for the knockout stage. They are still trailing three points behind Arsenal but their 2:1 victory gives them a three point lead over Liège.
VfL Wolfsburg played well but conceded a late equalizer that cost them the win. Wolfsburg started out strong and got an early 2:0 lead but goals just before halftime and in the 94th minute led to two lost points.
Borussia Mönchengladbach needed some late game heroics from Stindl to escape Italy with a point. Gladbach's captain scored the 1:1 equalizer in the 95th minute but just one point is still not enough. The foals sit at just two pints from three games and in last place in their group.

Though we were in a fugue state for much of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we do remember that all Tuft & Needle mattresses were 22 percent off, and that that was a very good deal. Now, today only, following in Casper's footsteps, T&N is revisiting that very same deal. And while these beloved foam mattresses make an excellent gift for yourself … they also make a great gift for your significant other (which, as it happens, is still also a gift for yourself) or a loved one who enjoys sleeping. And if you order today, it will arrive before Christmas.

Chrissy Teigen: I can still feel kicks in my belly
<a href="http:
celebretainment.com"> Celebretainment<
Chrissy Teigen still feels "kicks" in her belly following her pregnancy loss
The 35-year-old model was struck by tragedy in September when she lost her son – whom she had already named Jack – halfway through her pregnancy, and has now revealed she keeps feeling the sensation of kicking in her belly, despite no longer carrying a child.
Chrissy made the revelation on Twitter when she also revealed Jack should have been born this week, as she added she is undergoing surgery for endometriosis this week.
She wrote: "my little jack would have been born this week so I'm a bit off. I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it's not phantom. I have surgery for endometriosis tomorrow...but the period feeling this month is exactly like baby kicks. sigh. (sic)"
The 'Lip Sync Battle' star then posted a video of her stomach visibly twitching, and said the movements "never stop".
She added: "look at this. I'll pretend it's him saying hi - it never stops. (sic)"
Meanwhile, Chrissy – who has Luna, four, and Miles, two, with her husband John Legend – recently said she will "never" be pregnant again following her loss.
Posting a candid image of herself on Instagram in December, where a small bump was still visible on her stomach three months after losing Jack, she wrote: "This is me and my body, just yesterday. Even though I'm no longer pregnant, every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been. And I have no idea why i still have this bump, honestly. It's frustrating.
"But I'm proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways. I love being pregnant, so so much, and I'm sad I never will be again. But I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day. Anyhoo. Love u guys. Xx (sic)"

A public emergency will be in place for three months in Sudan after the country declared a natural disaster following recent heavy flooding that left 99 dead and destroyed or damaged more than 100,000 homes.
The announcement was made early Saturday by the Labour Ministry after discussions with security and defense officials.
Heavy rainfalls are an annual event in Sudan, as well as in Ethiopia and Uganda, leading to regular flooding. Sudanese officials recently recorded the highest levels for the Nile River since records began.
Officials said 16 states were affected by the flooding. Additionally, they reported 46 injuries and more than a half million people affected by the flooding.
The rates of floods and rain for this year exceeded the records set during the years 1946 and 1988, with expectations of continued rising indicators, Minister Lena el-Sheikh added.
The council also announced the formation of a supreme committee headed by the ministry of labor and social development to deal with the ramifications of the floods for the fall of 2020.

Clustering, uncertainty, belief function theory, Belief K modes Method, incremental attribute set.
The Belief K-modes Method (BKM) is a recently devel oped clustering approach handling uncertainty encountered in the attribute values of categorical dataset objects. This uncertainty is represented and managed under the belief function framework. This proposed method, as generally existing clustering ones, starts with a known dataset of ob jects characterized by a given set of attributes. However, there are numerous applications where this attribute set evolves. So, we propose in this paper an Incremental Belief K-modes Method (IBKM), that is able to cluster uncertain data within such dynamic environment. The main objec tive is to efficiently maintain clusters as new attributes are inserted without frequently performing complete recluster ing.

November 11th, 2019 Remembrance Day
robbie	2019 Reviews	 November 11, 2019 November 11, 2019 7 Minutes
Rather than writing about current films that are out, and I am planning on seeing the re-make war film Midway, I wanted to write on the great war films. I don't think that I have done this before, but on a day of remembrance, and remembering those who have paid the ultimate price for my freedom and those all around me, I was thinking about a Top Ten List for War Films. As an aside, this is an important day. Having been to the Normandy beaches, and seen the US, Canadian, British and yes German cemeteries in France I am reminded of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day landings and turning the tide on the war.

So many were lost. So many were so young. Tomb stones that have birthdays for dead as teenagers, and I as a parent can think about my sons, my daughter, my nieces and nephews and how we are so lucky to not live in a time of war and conflict. I cherish my German friends too, and think how in a different time we could be across a battlefield from one another. I compile a list, and it is not easy to do. War brings out raw emotions and passion and creates opportunity for great performances. Even though I list 10 films I have chosen to list alphabetically, and not in a particular order it does not identify one as the best. It can't be done in my opinion. I will also note that there are many on here given Oscars, but that doesn't necessarily add them to the list. Here goes:
Apocalypse Now (1979): for many, the list alphabetically as well as for merit would begin and end here. Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece set in the Viet Nam war with a crew, led by Martin Sheen, on a small boat looking to end the command of a rogue elite solider, played by overweight Marlon Brando. Graphic, gory, and made more poignant to me after watching the documentary on Viet Nam by Ken Burns. Brilliant. It did not win the Oscar for Best Picture, which most would say now was a travesty (Kramer v Kramer won).
Bridge on the River Kwai (1957): David Lean directs this fabulous film, which won seven Oscars, including Best Picture. Excellent performances all around led by Sir Alec Guiness, who most younger people see as only older Obi Wan Kenobi. He won Best Actor for this. A group of British POWs forced to build a bridge by their Japanese captors also look to find a way to destroy it.
Das Boot (1981): Not many films can make you feel like you more fully understand of a life in which you have no experience. The life of a German U boat sailor is shown here, and shows in dramatic fashion how challenging that would have been. It also shows a German perspective, showing that they had thoughts and feelings and issues to contend with on all side, which many films focusing on the Allied story seem to forget.
Deer Hunter (1978): Another chilling story starring Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken as close friends sent to Viet Nam and their war time experiences. From the early wedding in a small industrial town, where the guys enjoyed hunting, to their experiences and how they impacted them from the War. A gripping and excellent achievement for Michael Cimino as director. Awards include Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Walken and Meryl Streep, and Actor for De Niro.
Dunkirk (2018): The recent addition to the list for me is Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. Filmed in IMAX and using very little CGI. He recreates well the turning point in the Second World War, arguably, with the saving of the British and French troops trapped in France and surrounded by the German forces. 300,000 men were there, and the British army would have been wiped out had they not been rescued by a civilian armada of small watercraft. Nolan shows the land, air and sea aspects with heroic efforts made by many. The individual young soldier struggling just to survive in a confusing and desperate time is revealed. The companion piece to this from political perspective is Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman playing Churchill. The Americans at this point were not in the war, but it is a tale of British survival and resilience.
Patton (1970): George C Scott famously played the controversial WWII US General in this epic film. Another Best Picture winner, and also Best Actor for Scott. He refused to accept the award claiming that he did not feel as though he was in a competition with other actors. That is a sidenote to a film that shows the vanity and hubris of those who can fight in war. Some people just live for it and thrive in that environment. Patton was one of them it seems. Patton famously struck one of his soldiers for being a coward. War can shape many lives, and in this one it hardened the man who took it as his own personal campaign through Africa and Europe to defeat Rommel and the Germans.
Platoon (1986): Oliver Stone, Mr Conspiracy, wrote and directed this Viet Nam film showing the dichotomy in attitude of a single platoon within this war. The focal point is the young recruit played by Charlie Sheen, in many ways mirroring the personal journey of his father's career in Apocalypse Now. The young solider is shown the ropes in the wet, bug-infested jungle with various battles that take place. His platoon is run by two different sergeant's who are "battling for Sheen's soul". Both played excellently by Tom Berenger and Wllem Dafoe. This won Best Picture and Best Director.
Sink The Bismarck (1960): Maybe it's me with a Navy bias because of my Gramps and his service, but I have always enjoyed this movie set in WWII. The Germans had constructed a large battleship that was feared for its gun range and ability to cause destruction on the seas. In its first real test, it destroyed the British HMCS Hood with one shot. Hit and sunk. The British forces realize that they need to sink the Bismarck before more destruction ensues. There are no Oscars. It is just a story well told of the war on the seas.
Saving Private Ryan (1998): Steven Spielberg dramatically brought to life the battle on D-Day at Normandy with the landing at Omaha beach by the Americans. This is an American story predicated ultimately on finding one solider, whose three brothers were already killed in Europe, and US Army Chief of Staff, George Marshall decides to send a small group to go find the fourth brother and safely return him home to his family. No parents should have to sacrifice so heavily on the altar of freedom, in the words of Abraham Lincoln which are used by Marshall to explain his decision. The middle of this piece lags for me, but the opening beach sequence has no match anywhere. The noise, the bullets, the graphic violence and injuries. One feels exhausted watching it, and feels that anyone who survived that day, deserves to go home already. But that was not the case. Tom Hanks stars, along with a lesser known supporting cast. If people don't regard Apocalypse Now as the best war film, many consider this it.
Zero Dark Thirty (2012): I am a Jessica Chastain fan. I freely admit it. This role took her career to new heights, as she showed herself as a CIA operative looking to find and kill Osama Bin Laden as a driven, smart, focused and formidable proponent of her cause. This movie was initially to be about the unsuccessful search for Bin Laden, but then he was found and killed in May 2011. The screenplay was then re-written and you see the operation in the last half an hour that took him down. Chastain embodies this role and challenges her superiors and commits to ensuring that this terrorist pays for the actions that he coordinated on September 11th 2001, and for which many had given up hope of ever seeing it occur.
Other notables not on the list, because when you look into it, so many stories have been put on film about wars and war time. These include: They Will Not Grow Old (2018), the colourized and improved WWI documentary directed by Peter Jackson. This is simply mandatory viewing to better understand the First World War from the perspective of the soldier's themselves in their own words; Schinder's List (1993), epic story about holocaust; The Hurt Locker (2008), much of the same crew as Zero Dark Thirty filmed this; Full Metal Jacket (1987) Stanley Kubrick with memorable training sequence; Imitation Game (2014) about code breaking Enigma machine and Alan Turing; Dirty Dozen (1967) Lee Marvin leads a group of convicted prisoners on a dangerous mission to help the cause and would give them their freedom; Great Escape (1963) a great cast including Steve McQueen escapes from a German POW camp; The Thin Red Line (1998) a Terrence Malick film showing the insanity of war on the Pacific side, Hacksaw Ridge (2016) the Mel Gibson WWII film of a conscientious objector who refuses to hold and fire a weapon, but will protect life as a medic as part of a platoon. He ultimately is awarded a Medal of Honor, the first man to do so without firing a shot; Tora Tora Tora (1970) is the Pearl Harbor attack and also follow up with Midway which shows the Japanese forces first having an unmitigated success on December 7th, and then struggling with the follow up attack; finally Judgment at Nuremburg (1961) showing the Nazi trials which pose interesting legal issues and arguments like retroactive law making (there were no laws about war crimes or crimes against humanity before WWII), as well as making soldiers criminally responsible for following orders, and the upper level judges who allowed to have the Nazi regime decline so many rights and freedoms to ensure compliance and tolerance of atrocities. Maximilian Schell won the Oscar for Best Actor as German defense lawyer. One final addition: Glory (1989) set in the US Civil War, it is the story of the first regiments of black soldiers from the Union army. Denzel Washington won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Morgan Freeman also part of the excellent cast.
