I'll Be Gone In the Dark: HBO adaptation of Michelle McNamara's book could reflect best and worst of true crime genre
As much cautionary tale as public service, Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone In the Dark — on the hunt for the Golden State Killer — gets the docuseries treatment courtesy HBO
Rohini Nair July 02, 2020 17:28:33 IST
"There's more than one way to lose your life to a serial killer."
In a 2013 article for Los Angeles Magazine, the writer Michelle McNamara recounts the tag line for the movie Zodiac (about the Zodiac killer). McNamara's story was about a different serial killer — a man believed responsible for over 50 rapes and at least 10 murders in California, in the 1970s and '80s. The police called him the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker (to distinguish him from the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez), or the rather prosaic acronym EAR-ONS. McNamara dubbed him the Golden State Killer.
In her LA Mag story, she used the Zodiac tagline to describe how law enforcement officials assigned to the now long cold case continued to be consumed by the hunt for the perpetrator. But it was equally — if not more — apt for McNamara, who followed the story obsessively for years, seeking clues on message boards and in old case files, in conversations with police officers and survivors and other "citizen detectives" who were equally invested in tracking down the Golden State Killer.
In 2016, about 90 percent through her book about the case — I'll Be Gone In the Dark, titled so for the threat the Golden State Killer would whisper to his victims ("Make a sound, and I'll put my knife through your throat and I'll be gone in the dark") — McNamara, 46, died of an accidental drug overdose. She had an undiagnosed heart condition, and had also been using prescription medication to fuel her late-night online crime-fighting forays.
Her husband, the comedian Patton Oswalt, sought the help of McNamara's researcher and fellow "citizen detective" Paul Haynes to finish the book. A few months after I'll Be Gone In the Dark was published in 2018, the police arrested Joseph James DeAngelo, 73, and named him the Golden State Killer. DeAngelo had been found via a DNA ancestry database. And while he hadn't featured on McNamara's list of suspects, the attention she brought to the case, via her popular blog True Crime Detective, her LA Mag article and I'll Be Gone In the Dark, certainly helped put it in the public consciousness.
If the launch of the book turned out to be inadvertently timely, so too was the start of the screen adaptation of the same — a six-part HBO docuseries directed by Liz Garbus. A day after work began on the docuseries was when DeAngelo was apprehended, and the release of the first episode (on 29 July in India, on Disney+Hotstar) coincided with his appearance in court, where he pled guilty to 13 counts of murder, in exchange for a life sentence. (The statute of limitations on the rape cases had passed.)

The first episode lays out McNamara's meeting with an editor at Los Angeles Magazine (Nancy Miller), and her correspondence with several citizen detectives on a message board dedicated to solving the EAR-ONS case. A survivor who was only 15 when she was raped describes in matter of fact tones how she stayed home from a school dance at the last minute because of a cold, while her parents were at a party, stuck a frozen pizza in the oven and was playing the piano in the living room when she sensed a presence next to her. It was the East Area Rapist. She gave up playing the piano after the rape; the feeling that someone was standing behind her was difficult to overcome.
Also covered in this first episode is the blossoming of the relationship between McNamara and Patton Oswalt, their marriage and family life, what she was like as an individual and how her fascination with true crime developed. Oswalt talks about how they went to their respective homes after a movie date when they'd just begun to see each other, and realised they were both watching Creature from the Black Lagoon on television that night. A video clip from the 1950s horror classic shows the female protagonist diving into the lagoon and enjoying a swim, unaware that the creature, Gill-man, is stalking her underwater all the time. The clip is used to depict McNamara and Oswalt's shared interests, but is also a stand-in for the ways in which his victims' lives would come up against the Golden State Killer's, known for lurking and observing his prey for months together before attacking them. Ultimately, it serves as a metaphor for McNamara's obsession with the case too — so close on his trail, but never quite being able to reach him.
A Guardian review for What Happened, Miss Simone?, her biopic on the legendary Nina Simone, describes director Liz Garbus' style of filmmaking as "Wikipedia-entry-as-cinema", and having seen Lost Girls, her Netflix movie on the 2010 disappearance of 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert, I can see why this is an accurate description. Garbus' forte seems to be in picking really great stories to tell, but the execution itself isn't groundbreaking or memorable. Having seen only the one episode released so far, perhaps it would be best to reserve judgement on how I'll Be Gone In the Dark will play out. A Salon review (where the journalist seems to have had access to a few more episodes) says Garbus does for true crime docuseries what In Cold Blood did for true crime non fiction books, so maybe I'll Be Gone In the Dark gets better as it proceeds. Some elements in this first episode certainly work better than others: for instance, Amy Ryan's voiceover, reading McNamara's writings on the case, strikes an off note; the best parts are when Garbus lets McNamara's story do its talking.
Michelle McNamara
It's not comfortable viewing — McNamara's blog post describes her obsession with the case (and other true crime cases) as "having a (lifelong) murder habit". A reason she offered in her previous interviews and the LA Mag article and in her book was her proximity to a violent crime in her growing up years: a young woman, out on her nightly run in McNamara's neighbourhood, was murdered in an alley. McNamara found pieces of the woman's Walkman while passing by some days later; boys she knew from school discovered the woman's body minutes after the crime and called the police. It's a story she's told often, and for some reason, it reminds me of Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides: about a group of boys who are fascinated by five sisters who live on their street, all of whom die within a short span of time by suicide. The boys collect whatever stray possessions of the sisters they can find, carefully guarding their collection of macabre memorabilia, trying to piece together a story of the girls that doesn't exist outside of their minds.
Those of us who consume true crime — especially cases where someone was murdered or raped or otherwise assaulted — are aware of the essentially ghoulish nature of what we're doing. There's been comment aplenty on the industry that's sprung up around true crime — not only the news articles, but the podcasts and documentaries and series and books and message boards and forums and even conventions, all of which feed off these cases. (Gillian Flynn's Dark Places delves on this industry; her protagonist, the sole survivor of a massacred family, makes money off her appearances at true crime aficionado meet-ups. So does the podcast The Clearing, where a woman who turned in her father for a string of violent crimes reexamines the accepted narratives about him.)
The best true crime chronicles seek in some way to redress past wrongs: find justice for survivors or those wrongly incarcerated, tell the stories of victims sidelined by their "celebrity" murderers/rapists, to show up all the ways in which justice and law enforcement systems routinely fail the most vulnerable, or the bunkum pseudoscience and legal loopholes that sometimes allow criminals to evade consequences. It has to go beyond being a real-life version of a horror story manipulating the audience's emotions.
McNamara's writings shone light on a case and on a perpetrator who not many seemed to be paying attention to, or whose crimes hadn't incited the level of public outrage and pushback that there should have been. The people whose lives had been impacted by his violence deserved to be seen and heard and counted. But McNamara's was also a cautionary tale. How HBO's retelling of I'll Be Gone In the Dark balances these aspects will determine its value as an addition to the conversation on true crime.

Q: Eclipse: Debugging... then seems to stop in a while loop, without debugging the following codes, why? my friends ,i have to admit that the question is a little long, but to make you more clear of the question, i pasted the codes here, its some android codes. you neednt look at it carefully, its only a reference. for some functions of the codes doesnt work, i began to debug( using Eclipse). everything is ok before the while loop (i have marked it in the code), when enter the while loop, something magic that happens:

*

*the first loop, after executing the code while((msg  = d.readLine()) != null), the value of msg variable is blank, maybe its not null, because you will soon enter the second loop right now.

*the second loop, after executing the code while((msg  = d.readLine()) != null), the value of msg variable is touchasd not found, yes, its what i really want

*the third loop, after executing the code while((msg  = d.readLine()) != null), the small arrow which indicates the current line of code disappeared! i cannot find it anywhere! and the step over button is grey! i even cannot click it to continue the debug! just as the debugging is over! but i have some codes below that dont execute at all !   nothing in logcat. it seems that eclipse think it is ok, without any error occurred.
    try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
    DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
    TextView suCommandMessage = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.suCommandMessage);
    BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
    outputStream.writeBytes("touchasd /m\n");
    String sb = "";
    String msg = "";

    /////////////////////////////////////HERE/////////////////////////////////////

    while((msg  = d.readLine()) != null) {
        sb = sb + msg;
    }

    /////////////////////////////////////HERE/////////////////////////////////////

    suCommandMessage.setText(sb);
    outputStream.writeBytes("exit \n");
    p.waitFor();
    } catch(IOException e) {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                       .setTitle("Exception")
                       .setMessage("IOException: " + e)
                       .setPositiveButton("OK", null)
                       .show();
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
           .setTitle("Exception")
           .setMessage("InterruptedException: " + e)
           .setPositiveButton("OK", null)
           .show();
    }

}

A: Try to handle the exceptions, for starter - at least use e.printStackTrace() in the exception blocks.
It might be that an exception was thrown and it braught you out of the loop, skipping the marked while loop and the lines:
suCommandMessage.setText(sb);
outputStream.writeBytes("exit \n");
p.waitFor();

EDIT: Not related, but still important:
You might want to avoid using operator+ on strings in loops. It creates a lot of objects [each + creates a new object]. You might want to user a StringBuilder instead, and after you are done building your string - only then convert it back to string,

A: 99% of the times that you have an empty catch clause, you have a bug.
In very rare occasions, you might actually want that (I would advice adding a simple comment explaining why the clause is empty), in all other cases... you're simply masking behavior, and you'll spend countless hours debugging things you would notice right ahead if you were throwing/printing the exception.
That said, add e.printStackTrace(); at least to your catch clauses.
Also, you can add a breakpoint to Eclipse that stops execution when an exception is thrown (parametized for both caught and uncaught exceptions).

One of the key services the Small Charities Coalition provides is a helpline. John Barrett, SCC's Chief Executive explores some of the current financial issues facing its members.
The Small Charities Coalition (SCC) was created by small charities to respond to the need for free, accessible and sustainable support. Now a coalition of over 7,650 members, our mission is to champion the role of all small charities to ensure they are strong, well-equipped, confident and valued for the positive contribution they make to society.
We have partnered with CFG to help deliver their Small Charities Programme throughout 2016 and 2017, enabling these small but vital organisations to strengthen their monetary capabilities and build on their sustainability. Right now, more than ever, we all need to be on top of our accounts given the big financial challenges our members are facing.
One of the key areas of support we offer comes via our information, help and advice services that deliver free support and information to small charities that are experiencing difficulties in their work. If the team is unable to directly answer queries they will signpost members to other relevant organisations and resources that can offer more specific guidance.
Some of the questions we hear frequently around the financial aspects of running a charity include how to register with HMRC, writing and submitting end-of-year reports to the Charity Commission, recruiting treasurers to boards of small charities and (particularly over the past year) tackling the auto-enrolment process.
There is a very real need for these processes to be designed in a way that enables small charities to be able to practically keep their finances in check, given the limited time and often limited resources they commonly have.
The helpline that we run gives us invaluable insight and data on the issues facing small charities, which we can then feed into our policy work to represent the needs of small charities on a national scale. This also helps us to focus on continual improvement of our services for members.
Over the past 12 months our free information, help and advice services have responded to 835 queries. As a result we have uploaded 21 new resources and updated 35 existing resources in our library of online guides, tools, templates and useful services. These resources that are readily available on our website allow small charities to resolve issues they may be facing.
The increasing demand for advice and the growing trend for the closure of free helplines due to limited resources mean that we continue to be an important go-to organisation for small charity queries.
Due to the number of finance-related queries we receive from small charities we are really pleased to have partnered CFG on the Small Charity Programme. It is essential for us to be able to signpost members to practical and relevant support such as this, which provides free finance-focussed resources and affordable finance training.
Would be interesting to have a blog / article about the queries you receive on the helpline – common financial challenges and difficulties.
Financial Management – what does it mean for small charities?

WVU football leaders believe there is no "I" in team
by Shanna Rose - November 18, 2015 November 18, 2015 0641
A four game losing streak could really tear apart a team, but not the Mountaineers. It seems that it has brought them closer together with the determination to get back on track. Head Coach Dana Holgorsen met with the seniors a couple weeks ago and set up some goals and they are on their way to reaching them.
Jared Barber wanted to keep the meeting between the seniors and coach. He believes the seniors need to be the leaders. "It is all up to our seniors. When it comes down to it, that's who younger guys listen to. Coaches coach, but at the end of the day, it's the senior's team…and it falls on us."
After the wins over Tech and Texas, the Mountaineers are determined to continue to do what works. In their case, the run game has been crucial to the offense; something Howard did not think would be the case when he came to West Virginia known for their air raid, but he does not seem to mind.
"I haven't, but you know with a win like that I will take it any day, I will take it if we do not throw the ball at all and I have zero rushing yards. I will take the "W" over anything," Skyler Howard said when asked if he has been in many games where he only threw the ball 12 times.
"…When you can run the ball like that we will be a team that is hard to beat. Playing physical, those backs are running like animals. I am proud of them. Proud of all of them as a unit. It's the work they put in and they are so hungry they want the extra yards and they are not gonna go down easy — it's a testament to them."

Junior Wendell Smallwood has made a name for himself as the main running back, and in the last two games he has had over 100 yards each. He contributes his success to the offensive line. "Just seeing everything right, hitting holes, breaking tackles and the line is blocking so good. I think they are blocking great so I think that's been the key and getting better every week being very physical," he said.
Smallwood added, "I am comfortable with just having the ball and the line the way they are blocking, I hope we keep doing it."
Despite his career high games, Smallwood has had trouble finding the end zone. When asked about how frustrating it was, fans may be surprised by his answer. "I need to find the end zone more, but as long as we get the win, I don't care."
"I mean it is frustrating, but as long as you are winning the games and the other guys are scoring, I don't mind it at all."
Howard, Barber, and Smallwood throughout their interviews consistently talked about their teammates and the team's success rather than what they did during the game. It goes to prove that there is no "I" in team.
When Skyler was asked about his 53 yard connection to Jovon Durante for the touchdown he gave him the credit. "It's been a little bit since we have had that connection, since early in the year. I put the ball in the air and he made a great catch…"

During the match up against Texas, Skyler took some hits during his runs as he fought hard for yards. "It goes back to the only stat that matters is the win. So I am going to do whatever it takes. You don't wanna put your body on the line too much as the starting quarterback, but I want to win and I will do what it takes."
The Mountaineer and Longhorn match up meant a lot to Howard and Barber, but for different reasons. Jared Barber wanted redemption after tearing his ACL against Texas in 2013. When asked about his defensive touchdown on Saturday he said, "Yeah, I didn't think I was going to do it. I saw a shadow coming up behind me pretty fast, but it was good for me personally… but it was obviously better for the team to get the offense going and get points on the board. When the offense sees points on the board it gives them confidence as well. So that's what it is about."

For Barber, his personal redemption was sweet, but the team's win was sweeter. "I thought once we won or when I played them it would be more about me and getting redemption, but once the game was winding down it was more about we got the win and they beat us the last two years. It was more about that than anything that happened to me. So I'm just blessed we got the win. It was a great team win, we need it to keep going."
Barber also mentioned the success of his teammates was more exciting for him than his touchdown. "I was more excited when we got the kickoff strip and Justin Arndt got on the fumble than me when I scored. I want be on the field as much as possible, but any time we get a turnover and the ball gets back to the offense it is a win for us."
On the other hand, Skyler Howard was going to play against the team he grew up loving since he is from Fort Worth, Texas. He thought it may be difficult for him, but he quickly found out it was just another game. "I am extremely proud of our guys, extremely proud of the way we came out and fought for four quarters and to do it against a team like that — it's great."
The Mountaineers will continue to fight for a good bowl chance against their remaining Big 12 opponents Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State. Starting with Kansas on Saturday, November 21 at noon.

Coalition minds the gap on anti-terror measures
The Coalition parties are gearing up for a week of minding the gaps. Tomorrow, David Cameron plans to tell MPs about measures that he feels are necessary for plugging the gaps in Britain's armoury. They're gaps highlighted to him by the intelligence and security services, and where the Tories once said they would be very sceptical about gaps, whether they existed, and whether it was right to plug them, the Prime Minister seems pretty keen to listen to the spooks.
But the Lib Dems are still cross about the gaps, and possibly cross about another change of heart from the Conservatives. That's why Sir Menzies Campbell told the World this Weekend that he didn't have particularly high hopes for tomorrow's statement on security, and it's why Lord Ashdown took to the pages of The Observer to criticise David Cameron's rhetoric. Campbell said:
'What is the existing legislation, is it being properly enforced? Then you have to say if we impose new legislation, will that be effective? And then of course you have to go on and say what impact does this have on the new balance between privacy and security? Now these are pretty profound questions which I don't believe are going to be able to be answered tomorrow in the House of Commons.'
That senior Liberal Democrats are sounding off this weekend suggests that either the party is going to be vocally unhappy with what the Prime Minister does announce tomorrow, or that last-minute horsetrading is still taking place over those gaps in Britain's armoury, and what, if anything, will plug them.

Q: How can I prove a polynomial to be primitive? From what I understood is that one check I can do to see if a polynomial is primitive is taking the GCD of all coefficients and checking it's equal to one.
I was looking at $x^{4}+x^{2}+1$ and i noticed that it can in fact be reduced to
$(x^{2} - x + 1)(x^{2}+ x + 1)$ and all primitive polynomials are supposedly irreducible.
Is GCD rule just used to detect if something is not primitive but no prove primitivity?

A: There are not enough words in the English language to describe all the concepts in Mathematics, so sometimes a word gets used in two different contexts to mean two different things. In some contexts, the word primitive is used to mean a polynomial whose coefficients are relatively prime. In other contexts the word primitive is used to mean a polynomial a root of which generates a field under discussion. A polynomial that is primitive in the second sense must be irreducible. A polynomial that is primitive in the first sense may or may not be irreducible.
If you think that's bad, just wait until you find out how many meanings normal has.

Philip K. Dick And Blade Runner 2049 Help Us Question Reality
By Loren Mayshark Book Reviews
The remake of Blade Runner, which is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? reminds us of the man's brilliance.
This is a picture of the Philip K. Dick Android. The photo was taken by Rasmus Lerdorf in 2012.
Moreover, it is astounding the prescience of a man who initially set his novel in 2021 (it was written in 1968) to create something that raised questions that we are grappling with today and creating entertainment whose most recent iteration has people flocking to the theaters. Perhaps Dick's most enduring gift is how his work constantly causes the reader to question the nature and limits of reality.
What can you point to as an aspect of our existence that is absolutely and objectively real? "Reality is nothing but a collective hunch," Lily Wagner once said. We live in this mysterious world that is full of happenings and we are constantly bombarded with information in an ever-changing reality.
Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.
Lily Wagner
Who is to disagree that people have their own subjective understandings of reality? "Everything is relative" as the saying goes, but how can another person's view of the world be wrong when information can only be gathered through the prism of our own perspectives and experiences? Do we not all have our own versions of the truth?
Philip K. Dick Invites us to Question our Perceptions of Reality
Philip K. Dick, a novelist whose bizarre work was not nearly as strange as his life, contended that we are living in a collective reality with access to many other sub-realities. Whether or not one agrees with PKD's fantastical claims, it is important simply as a thought experiment. There are obviously layers of reality and our perception of it changes as we are educated and exposed to certain universal truths.
Source: anokarina/flickr
Dystopian novels of Dick's such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and George Orwell's 1984 depict future realities that are manipulated by elites who secretly control many aspects of our daily lives with the rest of the world playing the role of dupes. In many ways, we are already living in a dystopia of Orwellian proportions, but people spend much of their efforts ignoring this, burrowing deeper into their own realities. For example, we know that the NSA has been recording our information covertly, yet millions of people willingly over-share aspects of their lives on Facebook.
Although it seems scientifically silly that we are like koi in a pond who are living in a reality manipulated by some unknown outside force, how certain are we that we're not? At some point, we must ask ourselves: what is reality? Work must be done to better understand the mechanisms that drive our everyday lives in order to live the fullest existences possible. Philip K. Dick's legacy allows us a multitude of concepts and ideas on how to perceive reality; thankfully he was once part of our world.

Yucca faxoniana is a large imposing plant which mainly grows in western Texas around the Sierra Blanca region and the bordering Mexican States of Coahuile and Chihuahua. Mainly the Big Bend Area, divided by the Rio Grande. Y.faxoniana plants can reach a height of 6-10 m. Sometimes Y.faxoniana branches out after flowering, forming two heads, growing close together. Branched trunks are rarely seen but very impressive. The green leaves are 90-110 cm long and 5 cm in width, but in cultivation they can reach a length of 120-140 cm, forming a symmetrical head. The leaf margin has a brown line from which thin, almost non visible curled white filaments are growing. It is cold hardy from -18°C for longer periods to -23°C for short periods. Some plant importers and nurseries are offering Y.carnerosana from Mexico as Y.faxoniana from the high mountains of Texas, but there are a few differences, like size and filaments, but above all Y.faxoniana is really more frost resistant.

Success Party for the Animals: MEPs want to stop importing Argentinian horse meat
Μοιραστείτε μέσω:
MEPs from all EU groups in the European Parliament called on the European Commission last week at the initiative of the Party for the Animals to immediately stop the import of Argentinian horse meat. Meat from stolen and non-earmarked horses appears to end up in the food chain via Argentinian slaughterhouses on a large scale. There is also gross animal abuse and troublesome hygienic conditions, according to a new undercover investigation by the Animal Welfare Foundation and Tierschutzbund Zürich.

MEP Anja Hazekamp of the Party for the Animals discussing the Argentinian horse trade.
"It is irresponsible that we accept horse meat from stolen and untraceable animals, which are also grossly maltreated", says Anja Hazekamp (MEP of the Dutch Party for the Animals). She initiated the call, which was signed by fifty MEPs. "The lack of hygiene and the neglect of sick and injured horses pose risks to food safety and are a potential source of new outbreaks of animal diseases and zoonoses. In addition, horses are stolen on a structural basis, even from private owners and shelters, after which the animals are taken with false papers and sold to slaughterhouses. Europe should not participate in this organized crime."
Europe imports about 10 million kilos of horse meat annually from Argentina, the largest exporter of horse meat worldwide. Most of it, about 4 million kilos per year, goes to the Netherlands. Other importers are France, Belgium, Italy and Germany, Russia, and Japan. Horse meat is often used in products such as bitterballen, meat sticks, goulash, and other ready-made products that contain meat. "Horse meat is actually hidden in a lot of snacks. Consumers often don't even know that the products they buy in the supermarket or cafeteria are filled with horse meat", says Hazekamp.
MEPs point out that Europe stopped imports of Mexican horse meat in 2014 after similar findings. The European Commission does not act consistently and must also stop the import of Argentinian horse meat, as there are similar circumstances, the MEPs state in written questions to the European Commission. Official research commissioned by the European Commission in Argentina at the end of 2018 confirms that there are no guarantees for the traceability and food safety of Argentinian horse meat.
Blood farms
The Party for the Animals has already raised the alarm about the South American trade in horses. Not only the production of horse meat, but also the tapping of blood in pregnant horses to obtain the fertility hormone PMSG is 'big business' in Argentina and Uruguay, among others. This hormone is used in the Dutch and German livestock industry, among others, to make breeding animals more fertile.
Major abuses have also been found on these so-called blood farms. A proposal by the Party for the Animals to ban PMSG in Europe was previously adopted by a majority in the European Parliament. But the ban can only take effect if a majority of the EU countries and the European Commission agree to it. "We will not give up on this point either until our goal has been achieved", said Anja Hazekamp.

2... 4... 6... 8 How Do We Appreciate?
When the clock strikes Midnight on April 30th what happens to Autism Awareness?
In the late 90's Portia Iverson and John Shestack started Cure Autism Now and made a pledge to use their talents and influence in the entertainment industry to make autism a household word. They did. Cure Autism Now later merged into Autism Speaks www.autismspeaks.org in 2005, which is now one of the largest autism organizations in the world, focusing on science and advocacy.
In 2008, Jacqueline Aidenbaum and Juan Carlos Brandt, high ranking employees at the United Nations, spearheaded World Autism Awareness Day. With the sponsorship of the State of Qatar, and the support from Bob and Suzanne Wright founders of Autism Speaks , April 2nd was approved by the General Assembly and is now internationally recognized, encouraging Member States of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about children and adults with autism throughout the world. .https://www.autismspeaks.org/news/news-item/%5Btitle-raw%5D-244.
Now hundreds of cities across the globe light their landmarks "Up Blue" on April 2nd to show solidarity of autism awareness.
In 2011, Paula C. Durbin Westby began Autism Acceptance Month http://www.autismacceptancemonth.com/about/, which has expanded to become "a way of viewing Autism in a positive and accepting way."
Awareness and Acceptance has led to better early identification and intervention, research, funding, and more accommodations for people with autism and their families.
But what happens after 11:59p.m. April 30th and the clock strikes twelve? What happens when the Sydney Opera House is no longer lit up blue; when bright blue t-shirts have faded; when the media has become "autismed out" and the new autism books are no longer number 1 on Amazon.
As my friend, Dr. Stephen Shore, an adult with autism, international speaker, and Professor at Adelphi University, enlightened me years ago, we need to move away from awareness and just accepting autism towards: Appreciation.
We need to appreciate individuals on the autism spectrum every day, throughout the year. How do we open our eyes to and support the gifts, talents, and abilities of people with autism?
In my book, Seven Keys to Unlock Autism, http://www.amazon.com/Seven-Keys-Unlock-Autism-Classroom/dp/0470644095, I suggest that we must first accept our own challenges and acknowledge that we all have 'special needs' depending on what environment we are in. We all require different supports in different environments. For me, technology sends me into a funk of confusion and paralysis - I need tremendous support; but when I converse with others on the topics of creativity, philosophy and spirituality, I am in a state of flow and joy. When my son, with severe autism, is in a crowded classroom under fluorescent lighting, he may run around the room hands over his ears, too distracted and dys-regulated to focus. When in the Santa Monica Mountains, he can lead his classmates, effortlessly, on every trail. An outsider watching my son in his classroom would deem him low functioning. In the outdoors, he would be called the leader.
Appreciation means acknowledging and celebrating the strengths and abilities we are all given. My son now works on an organic garden; I teach and coach others in my creative methodologies. If people only looked at my son or I as our deficits, we would feel anxious, alone, disconnected. When appreciated for our assets and gifts, we become active contributors to our society.
By focusing on the strengths of every individual, we have an opportunity to bring out and appreciate the gifts in all. My work with The Miracle Project www.themiracleproject.org has led me to witness transformations when my students are surrounded by love, acceptance and appreciation. A non-verbal student types lyrics to our songs. A student, once too frightened to even walk into a room of her peers, now performs Opera in front of thousands. Families develop deep friendships as they see their children blossom and connect to others.
We need to listen to and appreciate the messages that those with autism bring. The world really is too loud, too frenetic, disjointed, overwhelming. People with autism recoil from this while "Normies" try to cope and make sense of a 'toxic' world.
We need to embrace and appreciate the many gifts, talents of those on the spectrum and to help guide them to meaningful employment and lives. We also need to appreciate the challenges that they and their families experience in a society of disapproving looks and judgments.

Play Off-Road Arcade Racer Gravel Launching on PS4 in Early 2018 Video
Milestone's been hard at work on a new arcade-inspired off-road racer, and they've got a new dev diary to prove it.
Andrea Porta	Social and Community Manager, Milestone
2 Author Replies
Hello PlayStation fans!
Summer has finally come and we're here with some news on Gravel, the new arcade off-road racer made by Milestone. Today, we'd like to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Gravel with a new Dev Diary. If you're asking yourself what this all is about… well, buckle up: you're about to discover an off-road racer like no other.
So sit back, relax, take a step into our offices and meet some of the talented guys and girls that poured all their creativity and passion in what we think is a really noble goal: build an incredibly fun, fast-paced, over-the-top rollercoaster ride with some of the most powerful off-road vehicles man has ever created, reminiscent of the arcade-racers of old, but bestowed with breakthrough graphics and audio. And it's all about pure fun: we want you to step on the gas in V8 trophy trucks and legendary rally cars and partake in the greatest off-road show ever, holding your breath until the finish line.
Did we mention everything is wrapped-up in a faux TV-Show, inspired by the best extreme-sports channels that will take you to some of the most beautiful places in the world? Yes, we know it's a lot, but this is Gravel: the quintessential arcade racer, where fun and show business become one. And you will be at the center of it all, competing against the Masters — elected champions of the previous years.
Today, we'll take five minutes of your time to show you some of the amazing landscapes our 3D artists are modeling with Unreal Engine, to tell you something more about the in-game audio, and to show you how skies and lighting can make all the difference in the world. Stepping up our game with Unreal Engine, something that happened recently at Milestone, we have taken a chance to overhaul many other aspects of our game production, from the art department to the reference and audio engineering. This brief tour, combined with more to come, will give you a sneak peek into everything we've been doing in the last months here at Milestone.
Enjoy the first Gravel Dev Diary and get ready to join us on this incredible off-road tour in early 2018. Stay tuned for much more in the next months!

Exactly what I was thinking, but that's some heavy shoes to fill. Personally, MotorStorm needs to be remastered by another studio since Evolution Studios is no longer with us. Besides that I wish the team well for their release of Gravel.
Same! Not sure if the team particularly wants their game compared to it, but I totally did get a Motorstorm vibe when I saw footage in the dev diary. Anyway, wishing this team the best as they continue working on the game.

Looks dope and it's in UE4, I'm in!
Thank you VertigeV :) Soon we will unveil more details!
siriusbee
Thanks for the video–love seeing dev diaries like this that speak about the tools and techniques they use to build the games.
Would have liked a segment about how they are approaching the physics and driving model–maybe in a future dev diary?
hongthay
For some reason, I saw the title of the Youtube video and the pic, and thought this was a new Motorstorm type game made by Technical Evolution, which I was hoping might have some of the staff from Evolution studios.
Still, it looks pretty good, and I'm going to be interested in playing it.


Part of why I thought Kov might look better here was the rumors that he had prepared better in camp and was better conditioned. It turns out those rumors seem to be true, as he stood up so much better to the few right hands Alvarez was able to get in, and he was giving Alvarez hell in the 12th round.
Have to give a tremendous amount of credit to McGirt, and there are a lot of people who were disrespectful to his ability to train that will have to eat crow. He had the perfect gameplan for Kovalev, who boxed from the outside with his jab, didn't put too much in to his combinations, and was never wasteful with his energy. They basically neutralized Alvarez's offense with volume and the jab, while they also prepared well enough in camp that Kovalev had the conditioning to go all 12. I was also pleasantly surprised with the punch variety from Kov; I don't remember seeing that last time around. Near flawless performance for him.
Assuming legal battles work out for him, Kov should have some great fights available against the other LHW title holders. This win was huge for his legacy, which would have been somewhat tarnished had he been stopped again. Kovalev is a notorious excuse maker with questionable character, but he really did make positive changes this time around.

En teoria de conjunts, l'axioma de la unió és un axioma que postula que la unió d'una col·lecció de conjunts qualssevol existeix.

Enunciat
L'axioma d'unió afirma senzillament que la unió d'una família de conjunts —el conjunt que conté tots els elements de cada conjunt de la família— existeix:

En paraules: «per a cada conjunt  existeix un altre, , compost exactament pels elements Y dels elements B d'». Això permet parlar amb propietat de la unió d'un conjunt —la unió de tots els seus elements—:

La unió de dos conjunts —o un nombre finit qualsevol— és un cas particular d'aquesta construcció:

i, adoptant l'axioma del parell, existeix sempreː

Consistència relativa
L'axioma de la unió (AU) és completament independent de la resta d'axiomes de Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF). En la gran majoria dels models de ZF que es construeixen AU és cert, per la qual cosa és consistent amb la resta d'axiomes. Per altra banda, existeixen models de ZFC (inclòs l'axioma de l'elecció) en els quals l'axioma de la unió és fals, per la qual cosa no es pot demostrar la resta de ZFC (ni de la resta de ZF en particular).

Whether it is solving a problem affecting your family or close friends or something much larger affecting your community, the experience helps you know that whatever the world throws your way, you are a giver, you are powerful, you are a changemaker. That confidence will stay with you throughout your life.
Climate change mitigator and Ashoka Fellow Sarah Toumi's story of starting her changemaking journey at 11 shows this link: that in a world of rapid change where following the rules is no longer enough, success means being a changemaker and the earlier you start the better.
Sarah Toumi, a French-born Tunisian woman, spent much of her childhood with her extended family in Bir Salah, Tunisia. During one visit, she remembers sharing with her cousins her dream of becoming an astronaut when she finished school. She then asked them about their dreams. Her three cousins, all girls, said that they were dropping out of school because there was no bus to take them. The high school was 12 km away and it was too dangerous to go by foot. Sarah remembers thinking, "How is that possible? I can become what I want because the school is close by and everything is possible for me." There had to be a way to get a bus for them. Sarah enlisted her father's support and set up her first organization—helping children in her family's village and beyond have access to learning opportunities in and outside of school. She was 11 years old.
Within four years, Bir Salah had a bus to take kids to school and seven years after that, they had their own high school.
Now 29, Sarah is leading Acacias for All, a movement to curb desertification in rural communities across Tunisia. She introduces alternative crops, like Acacia trees, to help farmers increase their income while restoring the quality of the soil. Sarah's initial program in Bir Salah with 300 farmers and rural craftswomen resulted in an average 60% increase in income. She is now expanding to half of Tunisia's provinces with 100,000 trees planted. Sarah's aim is to change the way farmers and policy leaders approach climate change mitigation, taking it from a low-priority, costly endeavor to a core strategy for improving rural livelihoods.
What made it possible for Sarah to do this? Sarah's early changemaking experience was critical to her success today. "When you start early, you learn how to work with others and solve problems... I didn't know I was a 'changemaker,' but I was sure I was going to be an actor of change." From an early age, Sarah's parents involved her in their own purpose-driven work."It was normal for us to take time for others," Sarah remembers.
"We didn't always understand everything but we had exposure." Her teachers also gave her the space to be creative and curious, encouraging her to do extracurricular research projects on topics she was interested in and present them back to the class.
By 15, Sarah began to think beyond her family's village. She saw the impacts of climate change and began to develop her broader plans, in part helped by Ashoka's Youth Venture.
Today, all of Sarah's younger cousins are in school, including several who attend universities. Sarah has taken one cousin in particular under her wing, involving him in meeting with rural communities and accompanying her when she speaks at youth forums.
According to Sarah, it is critical to give young people today the kind of exposure and support that her parents and teachers gave to her. "For those who think that their children will become successful if they simply become a doctor or lawyer, they are wrong. Their children will be completely out of the game."
Sarah sees the world her young cousins are growing up in as unstable and frightening at times with extremism, terrorism and climate change. "But young people have the ability to dream without constraints. They are connected, have access to information, can travel and talk to people who are different, and talk across continents. What they need is support from my generation and older to gain the skills and motivation to believe in themselves, do things and try."
For those who think that their children will become successful if they simply become a doctor or lawyer, they are wrong. Their children will be completely out of the game.

Local Media Release
Not So Trusted Traveler Attempts to Smuggle Cocaine Through SENTRI Lane
EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Stanton Street dedicated commuter lane border crossing seized 19.78 pounds of cocaine from a traveler enrolled in the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) lane.
SENTRI cocaine seizure.
"The use of SENTRI is a privilege but participants are not exempt from inspection," said CBP El Paso Port Director Ray Provencio. "Although the program allows expedited screening for pre-approved, low risk travelers, our officers maintain their vigilance and trust but verify that users are not violating the law and the rules of the SENTRI program."
The seizure occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m. Nov. 28, when a minivan arrived at the Stanton Street dedicated commuter lane from Mexico. A CBP officer conducting primary inspections selected and referred the vehicle for a secondary inspection. A non-intrusive x-ray scan and physical inspection of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of multiple cocaine filled bundles hidden within the dashboard area. The driver was a 71-year-old male Mexican citizen.
The narcotics and vehicle were seized by CBP, and the driver was turned over to the El Paso Sheriff's Office to face charges in connection with the failed smuggling attempt.
SENTRI is a program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Participants may enter the United States by using dedicated primary lanes into the United States at Southern land border ports. Travelers must be pre-approved for the SENTRI program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment.

SEE IT: World's largest plane under construction in California
By Jason Silverstein
A virtual stimulation of the Roc megaplane, built by Paul Allen's Stratolaunch Systems. The megaplane will be used to launch satellites and even humans into orbit, thousands of miles above Earth. (Stratolaunch Systems/YouTube)
This plane is a really, really big deal.
A TV crew captured the first images of an in-the-making plane that, upon completion, will be the largest one ever made.
The exceptionally enormous plane, called "Roc" for the bird of prey in Middle East mythology, is being assembled in Mojave, Calif., Aviation Week reported.
The plane will be tested next year and is expected to start flying in 2018. (KGEt-TV)
It has a wingspan of 385 feet, will be powered by six 747-class engines and so far weighs about 200,000 pounds — a light load compared to its final weight estimate of 1.3 million pounds.
The plane is being built by Scaled Composites as part of a space launch program by Stratolaunch Systems, a startup from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. It's intended to deliver satellites, weighing about 13,500 pounds each, into orbits hundreds of miles above earth.
Scaled Composites president Kevin Mickey told Aviation Week that if the Roc was put in the center of an American football field, its wingtips would hang over the goalposts "roughly 15 feet on each side."
The first footage of the colossal carrier was shot for a segment on KGET, a Bakersfield TV station.
Initial tests for Roc are scheduled for early next year and the plane is expected to take flight in 2018, run by a three-person cockpit crew. It's expected to fly at a maximum speed of 530 mph.

Q: How do I regenerate a random int in a loop? I can't seem to know a solution to how my_damage can create a new random value.
That's because while keeps the random.randrange the same.

So let's say:
my_damage = random.randrange(40, 45)

Then we add the combat formula:
jack_health = (jack_health + jack_defense) - my_damage
print(deskemon + " HAVE INFLICTED " + str(my_damage) + " TO CHIPHEAD")

Then this comes out:
LILWILLY HAVE INFLICTED 41 TO CHIPHEAD
CHIPHEAD HAS 261 HITPOINTS LEFT!
...
...
...
CHIPHEAD HAVE INFLICTED 5 TO LILWILLY
LILWILLY HAS 261 HITPOINTS LEFT!
BATTLE MENU:

(1) ATTACK
(2) SPECIAL ATTACK
> 1
LILWILLY HAVE INFLICTED 41 TO CHIPHEAD
CHIPHEAD HAS 222 HITPOINTS LEFT!
...
...
...
CHIPHEAD HAVE INFLICTED 5 TO LILWILLY
LILWILLY HAS 222 HITPOINTS LEFT!

Everytime, I use the code, the random value stays the same, it doesn't change.
I know a solution but because my_damage can be changed via input to 4 other random values earlier in my program, I cannot use this:
jack_health = (jack_health + jack_defense) - random.randrange(20, 25)
print(deskemon + " HAVE INFLICTED " + str(random.randrange(20, 25)) + " TO CHIPHEAD")

Notes:
Here's entire code in pastebin.com if you need information:
http://pastebin.com/iij5C16z

A: When you call a random number, the function return a single value. Hence your error. You need to come up with a way of calling the function every time you want a new value.
There is something clever that you can do that requires decorators that I will show below.
def recall_last(func):
    def _inner(*args, **kwargs):
        if args:
            func.last_dealt = func(*args,**kwargs)
        else:
            func.last_dealt = getattr(func,'last_dealt',0)
        return func.last_dealt
    return _inner

@recall_last
def rand_damage(*args):
    return random.randrange(*args)

This code will return a new value every time you pass it an lower and upper bound to use in the randrange function. If nothing is passed, then it returns the last value generated. Then this would work in your code
if deskemon_selection_input == "1":
    deskemon = "TIMOSHA"
    my_health = 500
    my_damage = (20, 25)
    my_defense = random.randrange(10, 15)
    my_specialattack = 0
    print("You have selected TIMOSHA as your Deskemon")
    deskemon_selection_loop = False

   ....
jack_health = (jack_health + jack_defense) - rand_damage(*my_damage)
print(deskemon + " HAVE INFLICTED " + str(rand_damage()) + " TO CHIPHEAD")

A: i know this should be implemented with classes but i am still learning classes so this is not using classes:
import random

def damage( attack ):
    return random.randrange(attack*0.9, attack*1.1)

my_name = 'LILWILLY'
my_health = 300
my_defense = 10
my_attack = 40

enemy_name = 'CHIPHEAD'
enemy_health = 100
enemy_defense = 1
enemy_attack = 40

while my_health > 0 and enemy_health > 0:
    my_damage = damage( my_attack )
    enemy_damage = damage( enemy_attack )
    my_health = (my_health + my_defense) - enemy_damage
    enemy_health = (enemy_health + enemy_defense) - my_damage
    print( '{0} HAVE INFLICTED {1} TO {2}'.format( my_name, my_damage, enemy_name ))
    print( '{0} has {1} hitpoints left'.format(enemy_name, enemy_health ) )
    print( '{0} HAVE INFLICTED {1} TO {2}'.format( enemy_name, enemy_damage, my_name ))
    print( '{0} has {1} hitpoints left'.format(my_name, my_health ) )

else:
    if my_health > 0:
        print ( '***{} has slain {}!'.format(my_name, enemy_name))
    elif enemy_health > 0:
        print ( '***{} has slain {}!'.format(enemy_name, my_name))
    else:
        print('BOTH {} and {} have died'.format(my_name, enemy_name))

the result i got:
LILWILLY HAVE INFLICTED 42 TO CHIPHEAD
CHIPHEAD has 59 hitpoints left
CHIPHEAD HAVE INFLICTED 36 TO LILWILLY
LILWILLY has 274 hitpoints left
LILWILLY HAVE INFLICTED 40 TO CHIPHEAD
CHIPHEAD has 20 hitpoints left
CHIPHEAD HAVE INFLICTED 43 TO LILWILLY
LILWILLY has 241 hitpoints left
LILWILLY HAVE INFLICTED 41 TO CHIPHEAD
CHIPHEAD has -20 hitpoints left
CHIPHEAD HAVE INFLICTED 40 TO LILWILLY
LILWILLY has 211 hitpoints left
***LILWILLY has slain CHIPHEAD!


Working with partners such as Samsung and Mitel, we offer a wide choice of telephone systems to meet the needs of small local businesses, national multi-site operations and everyone in-between.
If all you want to do is handle voice calls efficiently and effectively, there are a few basic features that you probably need, such as: voicemail to email (sending you a message to say that you've got a voicemail message, with a recording of it attached); mobile twinning (automatically directing landline calls to your mobile if you don't pick up your desk phone); and the ability to hold, queue and transfer calls.
The physical system can take several forms: hybrid (which includes a physical box in your premises), pure IP (everything is in the cloud), or digital/IP (a mix of both). And you can send calls over various networks too.
We will create an end-to-end solution that does everything you need – and nothing you don't.
Why choose Silver Cloud for your Mitel solution?


Vopak has announced plans to expand its gas storage capabilities, with a new LPG terminal in South Africa as well as expanding its terminal in the Netherlands.
The operator and its partner Retile will invest in a new LPG import and distribution terminal with an initial capacity of 15,000 m3 in Richards Bay.
This investment facilitates further imports of a cleaner energy source into South Africa.
The additional capacity is expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2020.
Vopak will also expand it wholly-owned gas terminal in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. A total of 9,200 m3 of capacity will be built for LPG and chemical gases to serve the northwest European market.
The additional capacity is also expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2020.


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A construction crew was preparing to take down a Confederate statue in a North Carolina city Tuesday morning, a rare move in a state where such monuments are largely protected by law.
Two cranes were set up on either side of the statue in Winston-Salem and traffic was blocked on a main downtown thoroughfare.
At one point, a worker on a cherry picker was raised up to the top of the statue and appeared to be looking at how to attach a chain or harness.
"Work has started, and hopefully it will be removed by end of the day," City Manager Lee Garrity said in an email.
Several onlookers were out, and temporary concrete barriers were blocking traffic in several directions.
Standing across the street from the statue, Howard Snow said the city was wasting money by taking the statue down and that the money could be put to better use.
Winston-Salem had more leeway than most North Carolina cities because the old courthouse property had passed into private hands. A 2015 North Carolina law all but prohibits the permanent removal of Confederate statues from public land.
In January, judge denied a request by the United Daughters of The Confederacy for a temporary restraining order to prevent the removal of the statue. Winston-Salem city officials had given the group until the end of that month to move the statue from the grounds of the building that now houses apartments, or the city would remove the monument itself. The mayor has proposed moving it to a cemetery.
Some statues had been relocated by North Carolina cities in the years before the 2015 law went into effect, but since then, local governments have been all but blocked from doing so under the law that allows relocation only in very narrow circumstances. Two North Carolina Confederate statues have been torn down by protesters.
Critics argue many Confederate statues were built decades after the Civil War to promote white supremacy. Supporters counter that the monuments are simply memorials to ancestors who fought and died protecting their homes.
In Durham, east of Winston-Salem, city and county officials are studying what to do with a Confederate statue torn down by protesters in 2017 in the aftermath of a deadly white nationalist rally in Virginia. A panel recommended moving the crumpled statue into an indoor display.
And leaders of the state's public university system have given themselves a March deadline to figure out where to put a statue torn down on the grounds of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Protesters toppled that statue in late 2018.
Resolving the fate of the statues has been complicated by a 2015 state monuments law that forbids relocation of Confederate monuments on public land unless narrow circumstances are met.
United Daughters of The Confederacy lawyers unsuccessfully argued in court papers earlier this year that the sale of the Winston-Salem courthouse left the public monuments in the hands of Forsyth County, so removal would violate the state law.
But City Attorney Angela Carmon countered in a letter saying the monument and land under it remain privately owned because neither the county never took required steps to take ownership. County officials have said they don't own the statue, and the current owner of the property agrees the statue should be removed.
Carmon said in the same letter that the statue's presence makes it impossible to preserve the statue or protect public safety. The statue has been vandalized twice since late 2017 and critics and supporters gathered for a tense rally around the statue in January.
