Leave a Comment / Movies / By admin
After eight years of absence, the one who had formalized her retirement in 2018 will be showing "Back in Action", the release date of which has not yet been revealed.
She was one of Hollywood's darlings before disappearing for almost a decade. Cameron Diaz, who deserted film sets eight years ago, is about to return to service: the star of Mary at all cost will soon be showing a Netflix film with an appropriate title, Back in Action (translated as "back to business"). The announcement fell this Wednesday on the Twitter account of Jamie Foxx, who will give him the answer in this feature film whose release date is unknown.
The actor of Ray published the recording of a telephone conversation, during which he discusses with Cameron Diaz the best way for the latter to announce his return. "I'm delighted, but I don't know how to do it," said the latter. The actor then invites Tom BradyAmerican football player who announced his retirement in February before join a new team a month laterin the conversation:
"I was chatting with Jamie, who told me you needed some advice on how to come out of retirement?" the athlete is heard asking.
The actress of Charlie's Angels confirmed the information in her own Instagram story: "Jamie Foxx, only you could get me back in business!", She wrote. "I can't wait, it's going to be great!".
Film shrouded in mystery
As reported variety, Back in Action will be directed by Seth Gordon, filmmaker behind the hit comedy How to kill his boss? – in which Jamie Foxx had a role. He co-signed the script with Brendan O'Brien, screenwriter of the film Our Worst Neighbors. The feature film for which Cameron Diaz will find the film sets is presented as an action comedy, and no details concerning the plot have been communicated. Filming is due to start this year.
Revealed in 1994 by her role in The Mask alongside Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz has had a string of successes for twenty years (The wedding of my best friend, In the skin of John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky, Gangs of New York, bad teacher…) before disappearing with a final role in the film Annealongside Jamie Foxx, in 2014. She formalized her retirement in 2018 in an interview for Entertainment Weeklyand welcomed her first child with husband Benji Madden in 2020.

Court Had Rehnquist Initials Intricately Carved on Docket
By LINDA GREENHOUSE JULY 2, 2002
If there is one phrase that best describes the Supreme Court term that ended late last week, it is this: the triumph of William H. Rehnquist.
In the term that marked the chief justice's 30th anniversary on the bench, the court moved far toward accomplishing his long-term goals, lowering the barrier between church and state and elevating states' rights through expanding the concept of sovereign immunity.
Those two 5-to-4 decisions showed the 77-year-old chief justice to be as indispensable a player as ever in executing a constitutional vision that has engaged him since he graduated first in his class from Stanford Law School 50 years ago and came east as a law clerk on the court that, only 20 years later, he would join as an associate justice.
At first known for his frequent lone dissents on a court that reflected the discernible if waning light of the liberal Warren Court era, Associate Justice Rehnquist used patience and tactical skill to plant the seeds that he is now -- thanks in part, of course, to intervening appointments and the shifting political mood that produced them -- in a position to reap. He had one solitary dissent this year, from the court's ruling that Jehovah's Witnesses and other advocates for religious or political causes cannot be required to obtain a permit before taking their mission door to door.
But the decision upholding Cleveland's use of publicly financed vouchers for religious school tuition, in an opinion he wrote for the 5-to-4 majority, and the decision immunizing states from having to answer complaints before federal agencies, which he assigned to Justice Clarence Thomas, grew in soil that Chief Justice Rehnquist had spent many years cultivating.
Although he dissented from the two important death penalty decisions of the term, one barring the execution of the mentally retarded and the other overturning state laws under which judges rather than juries decide the factual issues essential to imposing the death penalty, the practical impact of those rulings will be substantially blunted by the chief justice's success over the years in limiting the retroactivity of the court's rulings as well as state inmates' access to federal court review for their constitutional claims. The number of death row inmates who will be in a position to benefit from the decisions on retardation and jury fact-finding is likely to be dozens rather than hundreds.
At the same time, the decisions this term deeming intercity bus passengers to have freely given their consent to be searched and declaring that students' privacy interests in freedom from random drug-testing are all but nonexistent -- rulings reflecting the chief justice's long-held view of the Fourth Amendment -- will affect many thousands.
''For effectiveness in relation to an intended agenda, his has been a triumphant chief justiceship,'' Kathleen M. Sullivan, the Stanford Law School dean, said today.
Earlier speculation that the chief justice, a widower for the last 10 years whose daughter, Janet, is now inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, might be ready to retire proved unfounded. No member of the court appears to have plans to leave. The nine justices have now served together since Justice Stephen G. Breyer took his seat eight years ago next month, the longest interval without change on the Supreme Court since the 1820's.
That stability has not quite made the court predictable: no sensible gambler would have placed much of a wager on the outcome of the case on capital punishment for the retarded, and in a significant if largely procedural civil rights case, Justice Clarence Thomas surprised many people by joining the four more liberal justices to rule for the plaintiff.
But the stability has made certain patterns familiar, including the polarization and bloc voting on a court that decided 21 of 75 cases by 5-to-4 votes. The comparable number last year was 26 5-to-4 decisions out of 79.
Fourteen of the 21 closely divided cases fell into a familiar pattern: on one side were the more liberal justices, John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, along with Justice Breyer. On the other side were Chief Justice Rehnquist along with Justices Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Anthony M. Kennedy.
The justice closest to the center of the court, Sandra Day O'Connor, joined the conservatives in 10 of the 14 cases, giving that group the majority. In four of the cases, the more liberal group prevailed because of Justice O'Connor's vote. Three of those were criminal cases and one was a case affirming the right of states to protect the rights of patients in managed health care plans.
While Justice Kennedy is frequently depicted as a ''swing'' vote, he did not join the liberal bloc in any of the 5-to-4 cases.
Justice Stevens, at 82 the court's senior associate justice and in most respects its most liberal member, dissented 22 times, more than any other justice. At the same time, he had a notably successful term, using his authority under the court's rules to assign himself to write the majority opinion in cases in which the chief justice was in dissent.
Justice Stevens wrote for the 6-to-3 majority that abolished the death penalty for the retarded as well as for the 6-to-3 decision rebuffing the claims of property-rights advocates that a moratorium on development for land-use planning purposes should be considered a governmental ''taking'' of private property for which owners are entitled to compensation.
The chief justice, along with Justices Scalia and Thomas, dissented in those cases.
Justice Breyer left his usual allies and joined the conservative bloc to vote with the government in two cases on the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches. His was the deciding vote to expand the ability of public schools to subject students to random drug tests, and he joined the 6-to-3 majority that validated a law enforcement technique in conducting random searches of intercity bus passengers.
In one sense, the term that began on Oct. 1, 2001, and ended on June 27 was a term in waiting. There was no affirmative-action decision because the court found procedural problems and dismissed a federal contracting case it heard in November. But it is widely expected that the justices will agree to review the University of Michigan's affirmative-action plan when that case reaches them after the new term begins on Oct. 7.
In its next term, the court is almost certain to decide the constitutionality of the new campaign finance law, which Congress placed on a fast track to Supreme Court review. It would surprise almost no one if appeals by those detained for or charged with terrorism-related offenses reached the court fairly soon; even without them, the next term already has an unusual number of interesting cases.
But the last day of the 2001-2002 term clearly belonged to Chief Justice Rehnquist. The Cleveland voucher decision brought to fruition his 29-year effort to get the court to accept the concept that a government benefit offered neutrally to religious and secular institutions, with the money following choices made by private individuals, did not violate the First Amendment's prohibition against the ''establishment'' of religion.
He took that position as a new justice in 1973, dissenting from the court's decision in Committee for Public Education and Religious Liberty v. Nyquist, which struck down a New York tax credit that parents could use for religious school tuition.
Ten years later, in Mueller v. Allen, he wrote for a 5-to-4 majority that a Minnesota tax credit for the cost of educational supplies did not violate the Constitution, even though parents with children in public school had few such costs and nearly all the benefit went to parents with children in religious school.
His opinion last week in the Cleveland voucher case regarded the Nyquist decision as irrelevant while treating the Minnesota case as a watershed ruling that in establishing the principle of neutrality and private choice all but dictated upholding the Cleveland voucher program.
There has been much talk in Washington lately about ''connecting the dots.'' William Rehnquist knows how to do it.
These were the most important decisions of the term.
School and After School
Education was the subject of some of the most significant rulings. In upholding Cleveland's tuition voucher plan, the court rejected a constitutional challenge to the use of public money to help parents pay for religious school. Chief Justice Rehnquist's opinion for the 5-to-4 majority in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, No. 00-1751, found support in the court's precedents for upholding a program of ''true private choice'' when the government is neutral between religious and secular choices. The dissenters, Justices Stevens, Souter, Breyer and Ginsburg, found the decision a major breach in the wall between church and state and predicted that it would prove divisive.
The justices expanded their endorsement of random drug testing in the schools, going beyond a 1995 decision that upheld testing for student athletes. The new ruling, Board of Education v. Earls, No. 01-332, upheld testing students involved in extracurricular activities and suggested that under the schools' ''custodial responsibility'' for students' welfare, testing all students would be acceptable. Justice Thomas wrote for the 5-to-4 majority, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Scalia, Kennedy and Breyer.
Two cases examined the Buckley Amendment, a 1974 law directed at protecting the privacy of student records. In Owasso Independent School District v. Falvo, No. 00-1073, the court ruled unanimously in an opinion by Justice Kennedy that the law did not cover the common practice of ''peer grading,'' in which students mark one another's papers, because student-graded papers were not ''education records.'' The court then ruled in Gonzaga University v. Doe, No. 01-679, that the Buckley Amendment did not create a personal right of privacy and so could not be enforced in a private lawsuit. The penalty for schools and colleges that violate the law was a loss of federal money, Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote for the 7-to-2 majority, with Justices Stevens and Ginsburg dissenting.
Executions, Sex Offenders, Buses
The justices confronted the death penalty in two major constitutional rulings. While not questioning the validity of capital punishment, the court subjected states to important new limitations on how and on whom the ultimate penalty can be imposed.
By a vote of 6 to 3 in Atkins v. Virginia, No. 00-8452, the court ruled that the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment bars the execution of mentally retarded offenders.
Applying the ''evolving standards of decency'' that has long been the court's test under the Eighth Amendment, Justice Stevens wrote for the majority that there was now a national consensus that executing retarded people was inappropriate given their reduced moral culpability and greater vulnerability to wrongful conviction. Eighteen of 38 death penalty states now barred such executions, he noted, up from only two when the court last considered the question, in 1989. Justices Scalia and Thomas and Chief Justice Rehnquist dissented, saying that there was no real consensus and that the majority was misusing the court's authority to enforce its own views.
The second death penalty case, Ring v. Arizona, No. 01-488, dealt with sentencing. The 7-to-2 majority held that juries rather than judges must make the crucial factual determinations that subject a convicted murderer to the death penalty. The decision invalidated the death penalty laws of five states where judges and not jurors had the role of deciding whether the prosecution had proven the existence of ''aggravating circumstances'' sufficient to put the defendant in the category to which a death sentence could apply.
Justice Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion, which was based on the court's decision two years ago in Apprendi v. New Jersey on the meaning of the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of the right to trial by jury. The court held then that juries and not judges must find the facts that lead to a sentence higher than the ordinary statutory maximum. Justice O'Connor and Chief Justice Rehnquist, who dissented in the Apprendi case, dissented in the death penalty case.
The Apprendi ruling raised the further question of whether judges could continue to impose mandatory minimum sentences based on their own determination of such facts as the quantity of drugs involved in a narcotics case. Voting 5 to 4 in Harris v. United States, No. 00-10666, the court rejected that extension of Apprendi's Sixth Amendment principle. The decision removed a cloud from the federal sentencing guidelines, which depend on judicial fact-finding. Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion. Justices Thomas, Stevens, Ginsburg and Souter dissented.
The court ruled against a death-row inmate who argued that his court-appointed lawyer's earlier representation of the murder victim in an unrelated case was an inherent conflict of interest that invalidated his conviction. But Justice Scalia said for the 5-to-4 majority in Mickens v. Taylor, No. 00-9285, that the dual representation was a ''mere theoretical division of loyalties'' that did not call the conviction or sentence into question. The dissenters were Justices Breyer, Stevens, Ginsburg and Souter.
In another 5-to-4 ruling, the court held that a state may not impose even a suspended sentence on an indigent defendant for whom it has not appointed a lawyer, as long as there is even a remote chance that the defendant could receive a prison sentence. Justice Ginsburg wrote for the majority in Alabama v. Shelton, No. 00-1214, joined by Justices O'Connor, Stevens, Souter and Breyer.
In two cases from Kansas, the court addressed the criminal justice system's effort to deal with sex offenders. To keep sexual predators in civil confinement after the expiration of their criminal sentences, the court ruled, a state must show not only that the offender was still dangerous and likely to repeat the crime but that a ''serious difficulty in controlling behavior'' was part of the psychiatric diagnosis. Justice Breyer wrote the 7-to-2 majority opinion, Kansas v. Crane, No. 00-957. Justices Scalia and Thomas dissented on the ground that the separate psychiatric determination was unnecessary.
In the second Kansas case, the court voted 5 to 4 to uphold the state's Sexual Abuse Treatment Program, under which offenders lose prison privileges if they refuse to participate in a treatment program that requires them to reveal and face possible prosecution for previously undisclosed crimes. The program does not violate the constitutional right against compelled self-incrimination, Justice Kennedy said for the majority in McKune v. Lile, No. 00-1187. The dissenters were Justices Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer.
The court ruled that in conducting random searches of bus passengers for drugs or weapons, a police officer does not have to inform passengers that they are free to refuse permission to be searched. Under the ''totality of the circumstances,'' such searches are not generally coercive, Justice Kennedy wrote for the 6-to-3 majority in United States v. Drayton, No. 01-631, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Breyer, O'Connor, Scalia and Thomas.
Workers and Bosses
In an important term for labor and employment law, the court decided three cases under the Americans With Disabilities Act and continued a trend of employer victories under the 12-year-old law.
The most important case addressed the basic definition of the kind of disability that entitles a worker to accommodation on the job. In Toyota Motor Manufacturing Inc. v. Williams, No. 00-1089, the court ruled unanimously that to qualify as disabled, a person must have substantial limitations on abilities that are ''central to daily life,'' not only to life in the workplace. Ella Williams, an assembly line worker with muscle and tendon injuries from repetitive factory work, could perform many ordinary activities and so could not be presumed to be disabled in the category of ''performing manual tasks,'' the court said in an opinion by Justice O'Connor.
In another unanimous ruling, the court interpreted the disability act as not requiring employers to hire people whose own health or safety would be put at risk by performing the job. The losing plaintiff was a refinery worker whose liver disease could be made worse by exposure to the toxins in the oil refinery where he sought a job. Justice Souter wrote the court's opinion in Chevron U.S.A. v. Echazabal, No. 00-1406.
Finally, the court ruled 5 to 4 that an employer is not ordinarily required to modify a valid seniority system in order to accommodate the need of a disabled worker to transfer to a job to which another worker is entitled by seniority. Justice Breyer's majority opinion in US Airways v. Barnett, No. 00-1250, was joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Stevens, O'Connor and Kennedy.
Employees won an important civil rights case in a 5-to-4 opinion by Justice Thomas. The decision in National Railroad Passenger Corporation v. Morgan, No. 00-1614, had the effect of extending the period in which employees can sue on a claim that a company has permitted the existence of a racially or sexually hostile environment. Claims are not forfeited after the usual 300 days if the violation is a continuing one, Justice Thomas said over dissenting votes from Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices O'Connor, Scalia and Kennedy.
The court stepped back from its expansive view of the power of arbitration agreements to cut off access to federal court in employment discrimination cases. In Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Waffle House Inc., No. 99-1823, the court held by a 6-to-3 vote that the E.E.O.C. can bring a suit on behalf of employees who are bound by their arbitration agreements not to go to court themselves. Justice Stevens wrote the majority opinion. Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Thomas and Scalia dissented.
Judges, the Web, the Front Door
Seven decisions on the First Amendment's free speech guarantee made this an active area of the docket. The court expanded the free-speech rights of judicial candidates, ruling 5 to 4 that state ethics rules cannot prohibit incumbent judges or their challengers from taking stands on disputed legal or political issues. The decision in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White, No. 01-521, was a blow to the American Bar Association, whose code of conduct for judicial elections is a model for many state codes. Justice Scalia wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices O'Connor, Kennedy and Thomas.
Two cases grew out of legislative responses to the power of computers to create and disseminate sexually explicit imagery. The court voted 6 to 3 to strike down the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996, which made it a crime to create, distribute or possess ''virtual'' child pornography that uses computer images rather than real children. Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, No. 00-795, joined by Justices Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer and, in a separate opinion, Thomas. Justice O'Connor joined a part of the opinion that overturned a ban on presenting young-looking adults as if they were children. Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice Scalia dissented from the entire opinion.
A second, more equivocal decision addressed the Child Online Protection Act of 1998, which makes it a crime to place material that is ''harmful to minors'' on a Web site available to those under age 17. While there was no majority opinion, eight justices, all but Justice Stevens, agreed that the federal appeals court in Philadelphia had not adequately analyzed the issues before blocking enforcement on the ground that the statute's reference to ''contemporary community standards'' could not properly be applied to the worldwide community of the Internet. The appeals court must now address the law's substantive provisions, and the case, Ashcroft v. American Civil Liberties Union, No. 00-1293, is likely to come back to the Supreme Court.
The court ruled 8 to 1 that the government cannot require people to get permission before going door to door to advocate for political or religious causes. The case, Watchtower Bible & Tract Society v. Village of Stratton, No. 00-1737, was the latest First Amendment victory for the Jehovah's Witnesses. Justice Stevens wrote for the majority and Chief Justice Rehnquist dissented on the ground that an Ohio village's permit requirement was a valid approach to crime control.
In an important commercial speech case, the court struck down a federal ban on the advertising of ''compounded'' pharmaceuticals, medications that are not commercially available but that pharmacists make for individual patients. The rationale for restricting advertising was that these drugs raise consumer concerns in the absence of screening for safety and effectiveness. This was an insufficient justification for suppressing commercial speech, the court said in Thompson v. Western States Medical Center, No. 01-344. Justice O'Connor wrote the 5-to-4 decision, joined by Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Souter and Thomas.
Property, Patients, Patents
In the term's major federalism case, a 5-to-4 majority expanded the states' constitutional immunity beyond the courtroom to also shield states from complaints brought by private parties before federal administrative agencies. The decision in Federal Maritime Commission v. South Carolina Ports Authority, No. 01-46, curbed the power of the maritime agency and suggested that the court's states-rights revival movement was far from over. Justice Thomas wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices O'Connor, Kennedy and Scalia.
The court dealt a sharp setback to the property rights movement, ruling 6 to 3 that a moratorium on development, even a lengthy one, does not necessarily amount to a ''taking'' of private property for which the government must pay compensation. Justice Stevens wrote the opinion in Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, No. 00-1167. Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Thomas and Scalia dissented.
Rejecting a claim of federal pre-emption, the court ruled 5 to 4 that states have authority to protect the rights of patients in disputes with managed-care companies. The court upheld laws in a growing number of states that require a denial of a recommended treatment to be reviewed by an independent doctor. Justice Souter wrote for the majority in Rush Prudential H.M.O. Inc. v. Moran, No. 00-1021, joined by Justices O'Connor, Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer.
In a major intellectual property case, the court bolstered the rights of patent holders by vacating an appeals court decision that had made it much more difficult to bring suits for patent infringement. Justice Kennedy wrote the unanimous opinion in Festo Corp. v. SMC Corp., No. 00-1543.
The court upheld federal rules permitting start-up telephone companies to lease equipment at relatively low cost from the biggest phone companies, a decision seen as likely to increase competition in local telephone markets. Justice Souter wrote the 7-to-1 opinion in Verizon Communications Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission, No. 00-511. Justice Breyer dissented and Justice O'Connor did not participate.

Transforming the agri sector: Vital to set up a national steering committee - Sri Lanka Agripreneurs' Forum
The Sri Lanka Agripreneurs' Forum has proposed a series of measures to "help the agricultural sector get back on its feet."
Excerpts of the letter, containing the proposals, that was sent to the authorities:The agriculture sector employs over three million people, directly and indirectly, throughout Sri Lanka, who are highly vulnerable to economic shocks. As such, we propose the following immediate measures and some urgent action in agriculture and implementing a medium/long term program to help the sector get back on its feet:
1. The immediate setting up of a National Steering Committee for agriculture, comprising Government officials and private sector representatives, where minimum of 60% representation is from the Private Sector, spanned across diverse areas in agriculture (including livestock and fisheries), such as; growers, farmer organizations, agri value-addition enterprises, agri professionals & academics, agri scientists, local and global marketers of agri produce, providers of agri inputs, and local agri investors.
2. Implement "National Agri Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System", which will function as a holistic system for the entire Sri Lankan Agricultural fraternity which will address the following, and shall directly come under the purview of the National Steering Committee for Agriculture; a. National demand forecasting and crop/yield planning b. Ensure minimum guaranteed price for the farmer c. Be a conduit between the producers, local wholesale buyers, and exporters d. Facilitate pre-bookings and online trade facilitation (this will not omit the wholesalers) e. Integrate agricultural-value-chain f. Integrate and introduce performance and contribution based Farmer Pension Scheme g. Channel existing loan schemes, grants, and subsidies (including fertiliser) through the system to attract and influence farmers and embrace the change/system
3. Upgrade storage facilities preferably near the economic centres, and convert them into cool rooms using available resources and utilise idling resources. Engage Private sector cool room/cold chain operators to provide solutions for operating on lease/PPP terms to be the nucleus of a cold chain to overcome the wide fluctuations of supplies and prices.
4. Permit importing the best quality seeds available in the global market would be a pre-requisite to reduce cost of production and increase yield. Efficient procedures for testing such new seed and plant varieties must be immediately adopted with all seed importers and commercial farmers being permitted to test new seeds and plant varieties at their own farms under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture. Local seed, plant propagation and tissue culture laboratories must be supported for long term sustainability and food security.
5. Establish a system of Guaranteed Minimum Price based on cost of production for agricultural produce which will ensure a satisfactory return for the risk and investment made by the farmer. Government establishments, large wholesalers and supermarkets must be compelled to make forward-contracts to buy the production of local farmers.
6. Implement higher tariffs as appropriate on imported food items, only for which are locally produced, to maintain food security and protect the domestic production and value-chain.
7. Grant subsidised agricultural loans up to a maximum of 10 million at an interest rate of 6% with a grace period of 1 year that could be obtained through any licensed commercial banks in Sri Lanka, and repayable over a maximum of 6 years.
8. Facilitate the setting up of an Agro Innovation Centre, in Colombo or the Gampaha District targeting the development of value-added food products and processed foods for the local and export market. This facility to be managed together as a collaborative initiative of the Government, Business Chambers, Universities and the Private Sector.
9. Establish cluster level sorting grading and packing centres at district level. Link such centres with district level economic centres and connect with a multimodal transport system, which will minimize transportation cost, handling cost and post-harvest losses.
10. Allocate one compartment on trains to reduce transportation cost. This initiative is to be carried out via a PPP model, where the private sector will set up the cold room in the compartment and manage the operation.
This collaboration shall operate on a profit share model between Sri Lanka Railways and the Private entity.
11. Conduct an image building campaign for the agricultural sector to evoke interest among the youth in particular to engage in agricultural activities.

WORTH CONSIDERATION
Perspective Founder Profiles Gov. Christie for The Nation
The Rise of Chris Christie, Governor Wrecking Ball
This profile was first published at TheNation.com
From National Review, which ran an August cover story designating him the "Scourge of Trenton," to conservative bloggers electrified by his boisterous YouTube clips, just about every relevant Republican constituency has found something to be taken with in Chris Christie. Policy analysts in Washington appear just as enthralled by his critique of public pensions as are the familiar talk-radio personalities. "Ladies and gentlemen, is it wrong to love another man?" Rush Limbaugh asked one afternoon. "Because I love Chris Christie."
In a feat of strategic jujitsu, Christie has managed to tread a tenuous ideological line between Beltway Republicans and the Tea Party, endorsing Mike Castle over Christine O'Donnell in the Delaware Republican senatorial primary. The calculation implied that although he clearly welcomes its support, Christie is not tethered to the Tea Party's every whim; meanwhile, the Republican National Committee was happy to shuttle him around the country on behalf of various candidates this election cycle. Even among social conservatives, to whom Christie does not often pander, he has amassed impressive credentials: Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, lauded "the victory of a pro-life, pro-marriage GOP governor in New Jersey" last year after Christie vowed to veto a same-sex marriage bill. This ubiquitous adoration suggests that should rumored presidential aspirations materialize, he may be able to unite the party's balkanized base.
But in the current political climate, fiscal austerity is paramount in the hierarchy of conservative priorities. Emboldened by the anti-tax, anti-spending fervor that propelled Republicans to victory this year, Christie has gained a national profile by insisting that in order to close a $2.2 billion budget deficit, New Jersey must sacrifice many of its most valued social programs—earning him the moniker "Governor Wrecking Ball." In the process, his agenda has become a model for what the incoming class of GOP legislators might pursue on state and federal levels. "He's in a battle that a lot of conservatives think needs to be fought," says Republican strategist Vin Weber, who characterizes the governor's campaign against New Jersey public employees as a "proxy war" that could set the stage for a confrontation over entitlement reform in Congress.
Under Christie's direction, New Jersey has become the country's most visible laboratory for sweeping austerity measures as a response to pervasive budget shortfalls. Last spring, in what felt like an overnight blitz, he cut hundreds of millions in aid to public schools and municipalities—blindsiding the weak-kneed Democratic legislature into submission. Although dismantling social services has long been a feature of the Republican Party platform, that it could be so fully realized in a traditionally liberal stronghold—where public employees and labor unions are thought to wield much influence—shifts the boundaries of possibility for what conservatives can accomplish nationwide.
Remarkably, Christie's aggressive reforms have not damaged his popularity. Ten months after launching the most far-reaching campaign against sacred-cow expenditures in state history, he is viewed favorably by about half of New Jerseyans. "You can cut spending, you can balance a budget without tax increases, you can make hard choices," Christie said recently on Meet the Press, "and not only survive politically but thrive politically." His success is also partly a result of succinct, forceful messaging that repeatedly emphasizes the supposedly dire urgency of reform. "If we continue to allow a minority group of union leaders to define for us our standard of living," Christie warned ominously in May, "then we are bound to be Greece."
By insisting that calamity is imminent, Christie has been able to control the narrative such that those who receive state outlays must explain why they are entitled to taxpayer dollars—a burden of proof that predictably falls disproportionately on the disabled, the destitute and even those who rely on the government for nourishment. At Christie's behest, programs that provided poor children with breakfast at school have been defunded, one of the most jarring examples of his platform's real-life ramifications.
And New Jersey Democrats, encumbered by leadership disputes, have been unable to offer a coherent alternative. "Those of us in the legislature have not done a very good job of explaining what really happened here," says State Senator Loretta Weinberg, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2009.
This disarray has allowed Christie to routinely castigate state programs without apparent regard for the thousands who rely on them to fulfill basic needs. From pre-kindergarten programs to maintaining state parks, even the most benign public services have become politicized as they fall victim to the "wrecking ball." Suburban communities, once happily isolated from political wrangling in Trenton, have been forced to eliminate their schools' music and sports programs; facilities for the mentally ill are closing down; professors at state universities are being furloughed. Every social program in New Jersey is now viewed in the context of how it affects the budget—and whatever benefit it may once have conferred takes a back seat.
Poor, urban (and thereby Democratic) areas like Newark, Camden and Trenton—which lack a robust property tax base and depend deeply on state aid—have sustained the heaviest losses. In Camden, the most dangerous city in the country, nearly half the police force will be fired if administrators cannot negotiate new contracts; in Trenton, another 111 officers are at risk for termination. Gang members in Newark roam the streets with T-shirts celebrating the date of scheduled police layoffs. In the interest of closing the budget gap, New Jersey's cities may soon descend into chaos.
Part of Christie's strategy in rationalizing such breathtaking cuts has been to cast organized labor, especially the state teachers' union, as a greedy impediment to reform. "He's succeeded in tainting us as the problem," says Steve Wollmer, communications director of the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), which Christie has regularly berated. "Every chance he gets, he slams us, he smears us, he lies about us. He's done it since he took office." When James O'Keefe, the discredited conservative videographer, surreptitiously recorded teachers at an NJEA conference singing "Let's have a whiskey and get a little misty. Join me now and slander Chris Christie!" the governor eagerly piled on. "This is what I've been talking about," he said. "The arrogance, the greed, the self-interest, the lack of introspection, the lack of standards." Christie falsely claimed that union leaders were depicted in the video, and failed to mention that the teachers on tape had been plied with drink.
His penchant for chastising the NJEA at all costs is a consistent trend: Bret Schundler, Christie's former education commissioner, testified to the state assembly that the governor turned down a compromise with the union that would have brought the state millions in federal education funding because "it was intolerable for him to be perceived as giving in to the NJEA," adding that Christie was especially concerned about how the compromise might play on local talk-radio.
"Chris is a very sharp politician," says former Democratic Governor Richard Codey. "He's created a bogeyman out of the teachers and the unions to divert your attention from the fact that he's cut your aid."
A few weeks later, the governor helped orchestrate a $100 million matching donation from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the blighted Newark school system. Conveniently for Christie, the money deflected scrutiny from the structural inequities that had doomed Newark in the first place—and which his cuts have exacerbated. Hundreds of district employees were laid off in the months before the donation was announced, and Christie is still inexplicably delaying construction of a new state-of-the-art high school in the city's West Ward. "He giveth with one hand," Newark Councilman Ronald Rice says of the governor, "and he taketh away with the other."
But all the same, Christie has managed to christen himself as a tireless champion of education reform, bolstering his national profile among conservatives. He extended a job offer to Waiting for Superman heroine and former Washington, DC, Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee and has actively promoted the controversial documentary. In May, the American Federation for Children, a leading "school choice" advocacy organization, hosted Christie as the keynote speaker at its annual summit.
Despite Zuckerberg's proclamation that Christie is a "great leader," and despite Newark Mayor Cory Booker's assurances that the donation will be used for public purposes only, Christie's critics allege that he's put New Jersey on the path to outright privatization. "His goal is to demonize and defund public schools," says Wollmer, "en route to getting vouchers."
Shrewdly, Christie has created the impression that money-sucking public schools are to blame for New Jersey's property tax burden—long decried as the highest in the country. But he forgoes mentioning that New Jersey also ranks forty-fifth in the amount of funding its schools receive from state aid, and with Christie's cuts, the situation can only worsen. Weinberg, Codey, Rice and other Democratic critics predict that in the next fiscal year, municipalities will be forced to fill the void left by the loss of state aid by increasing property taxes—just what Christie had ostensibly sought to avoid. "People are going to be very upset with this governor very soon," Wollmer continued. "Or they're going to see their public schools gutted. Either way, that's not what they voted for."
Education is only one front in Christie's wholesale effort to roll back progressive policy in New Jersey. In April he revoked the state global-warming fund of its entire $65 million allocation; in July he eliminated all $7.5 million in taxpayer support for women's health services, forcing several Planned Parenthood facilities to close. And Christie infamously rebuked the Obama administration by canceling construction of a tunnel into Manhattan that had already been partly paid for by the federal government. All this may delight conservative activists, but New Jersey nevertheless remains a blue state—and the vexing impact of Christie's cuts may soon deflate his appeal at home.
As he ponders his electoral prospects, the consequences of Christie's budget will become tangible: class size will increase in schools, public employees will lose their jobs and infrastructure will continue to decay. Christie's supporters argue that these immediate hardships are necessary for long-term fiscal solvency. "If you break your arm, you have to endure some pain before it heals," says Brian Hackett, chair of the Monroe Township Republicans. But the pain for many in New Jersey is unlikely to subside. Instead, while millionaires enjoy fresh tax cuts, the most vulnerable will be asked for further sacrifice. Anything, of course, to close the deficit.

Great Britain?s Ben Swift finished a close second to Italy?s Simone Ponzi in the Giro del Canavese on Sunday, the final men?s under 23 road race before this week?s world championships in Varese.
Swift got away with Ponzi, who is likely to lead the Italian team at the worlds, and Angelo Pagani on the final lap of the race after being in an early break of 14 riders that decided the race.
Swift was in the move with team mate Pete Kennaugh along with three Italian national team riders but made sure he was part of the eight rider move with two laps to go and then went clear with Ponzi and Pagani on the final lap.
They opened a 45 second lead on the bunch and then fought for the win in a sprint. Swift and Ponzi were the strongest and went shoulder to shoulder. Both threw their bikes at the line but the Italian got it by a whisker, even lifting his back wheel off the ground as he threw his bike at the line.
?It was a very good ride by Swifty and everybody in the team felt good, so things are on track for the worlds,? coach Rod Ellingworth told Cycling Weekly.
?Because the early break stayed away it meant other riders were out of the finale but Ben rode well despite being out numbered by the Italians in the moves. It was a close sprint. Ben lead it out but Ponzi just got round him.?
Swift?s performance confirmed he is on form after riding well at the Tour of Britain and he must be one of the favourites for the under 23 men?s road race on Friday. Swift will be joint leader of the Great Britain team with Jonny Bellis, while Pete Kennaugh could be the surprise of the British team and of the race after his strong end of season. Also in the five-rider team are Alex Dowsett and Jonny McEvoy and will play a key role during the 173km race.
The British riders travelled to their hotel near Varese directly form the International Under 23 race near Turin and will begin to study the course for the road race during training on Monday.

Q: Non-convex classification with 2 layer MLP Can 2-layer MLP (1 hidden layer and 1 output layer) classify the doughnut shape? or need 3 layer MLP?

Is there any important references to point this problem and prove how many layer needs to classify?

A: A three layer neural network is no more powerful than a two layer one with a bigger hidden layer. The only reason to go deeper is that it is more efficient use of parameters to have multiple layers instead of a really big single hidden layer.

While stable stalwart Red Excitement will be missing from the Summer Cup, trainer Gerald Ryan has a couple of younger horses at the Boxing Day meeting trying to make an impression.
The winner of the 2016 Summer Cup, Red Excitement was retired last week with a minor leg injury signalling the end of the nine-year-old's career.
Ryan will look to late bloomer Wokurna to step up after two provincial wins from his three starts with the four-year-old to run in the Hyland Boxing Day Sale Handicap (1600m).
Wokurna has an air of expectation about him as a sibling to Group Two-winning sprinter Deploy but Ryan plays down any similarities.
"He has come a long way this preparation and his two wins have been good," Ryan said.
"But he's not as good as his three-quarter brother, certainly not yet.
Like Deploy, Wokurna is raced by John Cornish of Torryburn Stud and is out of Crimson Reign who sported the same colours.
Deploy will run next in the Takeover Target Stakes at Gosford on January 17.
I Am Special and Miss Celebration will be rivals in the Australian Turf Club benchmark 70 (1100m).
"I Am Special is an honest little thing and wasn't beaten that far first-up" Ryan said.
Miss Celebration won her first three starts at Dubbo and Gosford (twice) and was spelled after an unplaced effort at Warwick Farm.
"She had a great first preparation and I'm happy with where she is at," Ryan said.
The trainer is also happy with Magic Alibi who has headed north for the Magic Millions Fillies and Mares race on January 12.
She is scheduled to have her lead-up in the Listed Nudgee Stakes (1200m) at Doomben on Saturday.
"She is already in Queensland and is doing well," Ryan said.
Magic Alibi finished fourth in the Magic Millions race in January won by Invincibella who has gone on to won two Group Two races.
Ryan said Red Excitement was still at his Rosehill stable getting treatment for the filling in his leg and would head to a new home soon.
"We have had several offers for him and we will choose the right one," he said.

What is Lady GaGa's Real Name?
January 23, 2011 , Nathan	, Leave a comment
What is Lady GaGa's Real Name?
Born in Yonkers, New York with an Italian decent, a brunette baby was named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Nobody new back then that this girl would soon be famous and be called by a different name.
Stefani, her real name until this girl got famous, grew up in New York and attended a private Catholic school for girls. In her early years, she already showed inclination to music. She was able to write a piano ballad at 13 and got to a prestigious school of performing arts. But as a teenager, Stefani already knew she was meant to do things on her own and not follow the crowd. She quit school and joined the Lower East Side music scene of New York.
It was during her rebellious teenage years when Stefani honed her craft in making melodies. At 20, she was already able to write songs for the Pussycat Dolls, New Kids On The Block, and even pop royalty Britney Spears. She later met and work with producer Rob Fusari, who is credited for giving her a new name. Inspired from Queen's Song "Radio Ga Ga", Fusari renamed Stefani to who we know today as "Lady Gaga". This "lady" has now become one of the most popular and influential people in the music industry with a string of hits and a lot of headline-grabbing controversies.
Many dispute though that Lady Gaga refused to use her real name "Stefani" to hide her Italian heritage and Catholic school girl beginnings. Lady Gaga is known today for revealing outfits and over-the-top exhibitionistic performances which render a mysterious connection to her supposed strict upbringing. Others also go by the usual excuse that her real name "Stefani" just isn't unique enough and not flashy enough for a pop star.
Literally, Lady Gaga wouldn't be "Lady Gaga" if she chose "Stefani" as stage name. To this little girl from Yonkers, her new name is what truly represents her bold and free-spirited attitude.

My brother-in-law bought me a 3D crystal castle puzzle from Disneyland. The thing has 106 pieces, that are all clear plastic, and no instructions. The box says it is for children 12+.
Really, what they meant was the puzzle is for anyone who has 12+ years experience with architectural engineering, and can put together IKEA furniture blindfolded. It took me an hour just to figure out what the base pieces looked like and how they fit together.
The idea is was that I take the puzzle with me to Scotland so I have something to remind me home……so far, the only thing it has given me is a headache. I have three college degrees, but this thing might get the best of me.
I only have two days left in the US, and this is not really something that I should be focusing on. I still have some boxes that need to be added to, one that needs to be ready to ship, and a few follow-up emails to send. I'm not ready. I wanted to lose ten pounds before I went, wanted to have every little detail solved, and wanted to feel as excited and nervous, and scared as I felt last time I went. This time I do not feel anything either way. I'm eager to start my vacation, eager to make it to Scotland and meet my supervisors face to face, and I am excited to see how crazy it will be to get all of my boxes to my house and get myself moved in. I think that I will feel different once I get on the plane, but honestly, this vacation has been on the books so long, that I am not sure that I actually believe that it is finally here.
Pirate Rubber Chicken and I are ready for vacation though. We are definitely ready for vacation.

A protocol in Swift defines methods or properties that can be adopted and utilized by a class.

    protocol Barker {
        func bark()
    }

    class GermanShephard: Barker {
       func bark() {
        print("Bark")
       }
    }

In this case GermanShephard uses the Barker protocol meaning it must provide an implementation for bark(). Classes can also adopt multiple protocols in order to utilize more functionality.

## C#

C# supports the use of Interfaces which mimic the java interfaces. They share the same funcitonality and restrictions.

    interface ISampleInterface
    {
        void SampleMethod();
    }

    class ImplementationClass : ISampleInterface
    {
        // Explicit interface member implementation:
        void ISampleInterface.SampleMethod()
        {
            // Method implementation.
        }

        static void Main()
        {
            // Declare an interface instance.
            ISampleInterface obj = new ImplementationClass();

            // Call the member.
            obj.SampleMethod();
        }
    }

Interfaces are used to describe functionality of certain classes. They serve mostly as a template since the class that inherits from the interface must define the interfaces methods.

It is easy to say that the Infinix Hot 5 Lite is the bare version of the Infinix Hot 5, as indicated by the nickname "Lite". Infinix Hot 5 Lite shares most of its brother's features, but loses the fingerprint reader and comes with less RAM.
Where to buy Infinix Hot 5 Lite?
You can shop online at Jumia or go to any showroom to choose yours.
One can not go wrong in stating that there is nothing extraordinary about the appearance of the Infinix Hot 5 Lite. It's right there, more or less. But a textured back looks good and should make the device less slippery.
There is always a 5.5-inch screen in front. This is becoming increasingly the norm these days. The mobile phone offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Here you can expect a correct wide-angle view since the Infinix Hot 5 Lite uses an IPS panel.
Nothing changes from the affordable 5 Hot in the camera department. There is an 8-megapixel shooter on the back and a 5-megapixel snapper on the front. Both promise to offer a decent quality, especially with its compatibility with the LED flash.
Like its brother, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite comes with 16 GB of storage space. You can also expand storage with a microSD card.
Under the hood, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite carries a quad-core MediaTek processor like the Hot 5. The performance difference will have to do with RAM. The Hot 5 Lite offers only 1 GB, compared to the 2 GB of the other. It runs on Infinix's own XOS 2.2, a customized version of Android 7.0 Nougat.
You get a high-capacity 4000 mAh battery that promises to keep things running for hours on a single charge. It is said that this beast offers up to 35 hours of talk time! In addition, there is a fast charging technology that gives you hours of conversation in just 5 minutes of charging.
But the fingerprint scanner on the back of the Hot 5 and most other Infinix phones is missing here. And like the other device, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite is not compatible with 4G LTE. It offers 3G support and other regular wireless connectivity options, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Infinix Hot 5 Lite is now available in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. You can buy the affordable Android phone in the main online stores of the countries. The price of Infinix Hot 5 Lite in Nigeria ranges from 31,500 Naira to 40,000 Naira, depending on your position in the country.
The price of Infinix Hot 5 Lite in Kenya starts at 8,499 KSh, while the price in Ghana starts at 419 GH ₵.

U.S. Navy Uses AR To Keep Warfighters Hidden On The Battlefield
US military employs hands-free AR to detect RF waves during combat.
According to Jessica Sinclair, NIWC Atlantic information technology specialist, there's a saying used within the military that always rings true no matter what: "If you're transmitting, you can be found."
While out in the field, soldiers are often equipped with a variety of communication and GPS devices, each of which emitting their own radio frequency waves. Whether it be a cell phone, SOS beacon, hand-held radios, or Wi-Fi, these RF waves are traceable back to their source. As a result, many warfighters engaged in active battlefields will often cut their transmissions and go "radio silent," essentially becoming invisible to any frequency emission detection devices being employed by the enemy.

In order to ensure every one of their transmitting devices is secure, warfighters currently utilize a 10-pound handheld tablet equipped with a handheld radio to scan for and identify their own frequencies. While the system is technically portable, it does add additional weight to soldiers already burdened with a plethora of equipment. It also forces operators to take their eyes off the battlefield in order to scan, a move anyone with combat experience will tell you is a big no-no.
As a result, a Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic team has begun experimenting with a prototype transmission detection system that uses AR visuals projected over the user's real-world environment to provide an accurate hands-free method for identifying their own RF waves. Currently referred to as 'Spectrum Hunter,' the system guides users towards detected RF sources using an AR-enhanced heads-up display.
Operators can navigate through various information regarding the detected RF waves using a combination of voice recognition technology and physical hand gestures, allowing them to locate and deactivate any transmissions while at the same time keeping a look-out for danger.

"The Spectrum Hunter system under development is hands-free. As the user packs a similar-but-smaller geolocator receiver in a backpack and wears a headset inside a helmet that allows them to 'see' images of RF waves on an augmented reality screen superimposed over heavy sunglasses," said Sinclair according to Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic Public Affairs. "The helmet is fitted with a sunshade so the equipment operates outdoors."
"The sky is the limit for potential uses for Spectrum Hunter," added NIWC Atlantic Acting Executive Director Peter C. Reddy. "Augmented reality can enable an operator to more quickly and easily locate the source; this is a paradigm shift toward capabilities of the future."
Looking to the future, the Navy hopes to expand its use of AR as an RF wave detection tool, hoping that, eventually, the technology could be used to detect the RF waves of enemy combatants.

"Our team is initially focusing on detecting handheld radios and will expand the scope later to detect cell phones and other devices," Sinclair continued. "In the future, we plan to modify it to identify RF waves emitting from enemy forces."
The Spectrum Hunter prototype was recently showcased this past July at the Fight the Naval Force Forward Advanced Naval Technology Exercise East at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, during which experts from over 35 government agencies, industry, and academia were able to provide valuable insight on the project in its current state.

Vietnam releases FIT and net metering scheme for solar
The Vietnamese government has issued the long-expected FIT scheme for solar energy projects. The 20-year FIT was set at VND 2,086 ($0.091)/kWh. Furthermore, a net metering mechanism is expected to support residential PV across the country.
April 19, 2017 Emiliano Bellini
Vietnam's government has finally released the Decision No. 11/2017/QD-TTg on supporting the development of solar power. The new regulation, which introduces a Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme for solar plants and a net metering mechanism for residential PV, will come into force on Jun. 1, 2017 and will expire on Jun. 30, 2019.
Under the new scheme, owners of grid-connected PV power plants will be granted a 20-year FIT of 2,086 ($0.091)/kWh excluding VAT. This rate, however, is subject to changes based on the VND/$ exchange rate. The power generated by all grid-connected PV installations will be sold to local power utility Electricity Vietnam (EVN). Furthermore, solar power producers will also be exempted from paying taxes on importing goods for their fixed assets.
As for net metering, Vietnam's Ministry of Trade and Industry will be in charge of annually issuing the related buying and selling prices for rooftop grid-connected PV systems based on the VND/$ exchange rate.
Several large-scale PV projects were announced in Vietnam over the past months. In April, the government of the Vietnamese region of Binh Phuoc revealed that Indian module manufacturer and project developer Tata Solar was planning the construction of a 100 MW solar park in the region.
In mid-March, the Country's Dak Lak province granted series of MoUs and licences for a raft of solar PV projects, including a reported 300 – 500 MW solar farm to be developed by U.S. power firm AES Corporation and a mooted 2 GW project by local firm Xuan Thien Daklak.
At the end of March, the government of the Yen Bai province announced it was teaming with South Korean renewable energy developer Solkiss to finalize plans to develop 500 MW solar project at Thac Ba Lake.
In January, the U.S. heterojunction PV cell specialist Natcore secured initial approval to oversee construction of 200 MW of solar capacity in Binh Thuan province.

Great article, it looks like Vietnam solar market is considerably booming with all these upcoming solar projects.
But is it possible to have an idea of major grid tied inverter suppliers (foreign or local) involved in these solar projects too.
