Commanders, welcome to the Public Test of Update 0.8.3!
Public Test of Update 0.8.3 refuses to load game. Have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Public Test Client with same results. Gets to the load screen and won't go any further.
I just updated the PTS and tried to log in, but it asked for a server or something? I had PTS selected, it's its own server so I didn't understand what it wanted (I was logged in into the game center, so I had no idea why it didn't want to log me in).
I then tried by clicking the exe directly and at first it didn't accept my saved password and I had to retype it. After having retyped the password, it seemed to log me in and it's been stuck at the rotating anchor symbol for the last 5 minutes or so.
I got in now. Restarted the client.
it not loading game for me and i have reinstalled it and downloaded microsoft visual 2015 and still not loading the game on wg centre??
It says that this *.dll file is missing.
WILL IT HAVE A "CARRIERFREE" BUTTON FOR RANDOMS???

Former Dunfermline defender Willie Callaghan recalls Pars' European exploits after watching Barcelona beat record
By Darren Johnstone -
Former Dunfermline defender Willie Callaghan admits memories of the Pars' memorable European fightback came flooding back after watching Barcelona eclipse their record with an extraordinary Champions League recovery.
Just like the Fife club's deficit in 1962, Barcelona were trailing French team PSG 4-0 from the first leg of the last-16 tie but the Catalan giants produced a stunning fightback to progress following Wednesday's 6-1 victory at the Nou Camp.
Callaghan was part of a Dunfermline side that are the only other team to stage such a feat in Europe, although the Fife club's Fairs Cup run ultimately came to an agonising end.
After being beaten 4-0 away to Valencia, Dunfermline, roared on by legendary manager Jock Stein in the dugout, won the return fixture at East End Park 6-2. But with no away goals rule, the Pars were defeated in a play-off.
Recalling a career highlight against Valencia, Callaghan said: "Watching the Barcelona game the other night, I said: 'That was us – we did that', but it was our luck we didn't get through.
"That Barcelona game was just magic and I never thought I would get to see anything like that.
"One of the things a lot of people forget about is how good we actually did in Europe, it takes times like this to mention, 'excuse me a minute, Dunfermline did that'.
"A lot of people would say, 'when the hell did they do that?' Sometimes we didn't get enough credit.
"Now people realise how big that result was."
Staring Fairs Cup elimination in the face following a disastrous first-leg, Callaghan recalled how Stein's man-management ability galvanised the players.
He added: "Big Jock had us built up for the return game right after we came into the dressing room after the first-leg.
"He told us what we were going to do, and I couldn't believe it. I was just a kid and I was sitting alongside guys like Willie Cunningham.
"It was unbelievable, at times you can't find the right words for it.
"The first-leg was one of the craziest games I've played in.
"I was running back and forward and I hardly touched the ball.
"You're thinking, 'what's going on here?' I was a wee laddie coming into the first team and I was absolutely lost, but big Jock just said, 'get the finger out'. That was his attitude.
"Coming off the park, oh my god it was a disaster. But after five minutes in the dressing room, the result was forgotten about and he had already started on us about what we were going to do in the next game.
"That was just the type of man he was. We were just a bunch of guys that listened and respected him."

Movie Shows How Islamic Art Changed The World
Recognising and appreciating how much the West and Islam have held in common historically is what makes the documentary Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World, a must see for audiences around the world.
In fact, a cross-pollination of ideas is "what distinguishes most of the great masterworks of Islamic art. The traditional lands of the Islamic world have always been at a crossroads of trade and migrations of different kinds. The interaction with other people, and with other religions, has always been rich and that shows in the history of Islamic art", says Alex Kronemer, who along with Michael Wolfe, is co-Executive Producer of this most recent documentary from Unity Productions Foundation (UPF).
Produced and directed by Rob Gardner, the documentary takes viewers to nine countries and across 14 centuries on visits to some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. It also showcases ivory and marble carvings, coins, jewellery, swords, ceramics, calligraphy, bronze lamps and miniature paintings reflective of a wide range of Islamic cultures. Accepted into the PBS Summer Arts Festival, which begins on 29 June, some of the art showcased in this documentary has never been included in a film or major exhibit before.
Making epic documentaries is nothing new for UPF, a mission-driven organisation working for peace and understanding through the media, and neither is their choice to explore how much humanity has in common. "Living at this time when there is so much misunderstanding, it is very compelling to have a calling that contributes some light to the world", says Kronemer.
The art and architecture in this documentary speak to the immense possibilities of collaboration. Islamic art was influenced by other cultures and traditions, and the film showcases the beauty that can come from a meeting of diverse artistic sensibilities. Viewers can see the overlap between Chinese and Persian pottery, for instance, and the way that Greco-Roman geometric patterns were absorbed into Islamic art.
The film also shows Islamic art's influence on the West. Many English speakers might be surprised to learn that the words blouse, chiffon, cotton, damask and satin are all derived from Arabic. During the Renaissance, with trade between Islamic empires and Europe, textiles and carpets from modern-day Turkey and Iran became prized possessions in Europe.
The documentary also depicts how different an African mosque could be from a Turkish one, demonstrating the ways that art and architecture could differ between Muslim majority nations. "Diversity is the great hallmark of Islamic art, as one would naturally expect from a global religion", says Kronemer.
The film is organised around five themes to show common ideas in Islamic art: Word, focusing on calligraphy and Qur'anic manuscripts; Space, which looks at how architecture is used; Ornamentation, or decorative arts; Colour, which looks at geometric and floral patterns; and Water, which highlights gardens. The documentary successfully showcases the creativity, artistry and intelligence of Muslims reflecting an image that stands in sharp contrast to the current stereotypes that link Muslims with violence.
At a time when movies and television are the dominant art forms and Hollywood reigns supreme internationally, filmmakers in Muslim-majority countries and independent filmmakers alike have an uphill battle when it comes to successfully conveying a unique vision. Still, UPF's first screening of Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World, before a large audience at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, sold out.
Looking at shared artistic heritage was a reminder that Muslims and the rest of the world do have a common history that needs to be acknowledged and celebrated. This documentary brings masterpieces of Islamic civilisations up close. Few documentaries parallel Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World as a means to gain insight into Muslims and their heritage.
As I watched the film, I felt that on a deeper, more spiritual level, it beautifully reflected God's handiwork: people. We are comprised of diverse faiths and races; perhaps we were made differently so that together we could be a mosaic whose beauty surpasses that of any one race or people alone.

Panic In Fires
By: Dr. Luiz Hargreaves
Email Dr. Hargreaves

Some articles have been written over the years about panic in disasters and fires. The idea that panic rarely occurs in disasters has been readily accepted. When disasters happen, usually, people act in such a way to show solidarity with the other victims. It is common to see some degree of organization in order to assist searches and reconstruction work.
There are several definitions for panic, but in general, the most adopted concept is the irrational behavior before a critical situation. This is a simple definition, and for this reason, many people believe that panic is quickly developed immediately after any disaster, what is not true.
Panic, however, requires more than just a critical event to be produced. The perception of an imminent risk for death or serious threat allied to a low chance to escape is the basic elements that lead to a panic. In these situations, anything can happen.
One example is someone desperately running towards a shelter to escape from a tornado. This person knows where the shelter is and what he must do to be saved. Another situation is someone trying to escape from a fire, not knowing where to go or how to get there.
People following the mass displacement to the same direction can often be automatic. A tendency to copy the behavior of others is often found in evacuations, as well as people usually trying to get out by the same gate they have entered. This behavior was evident on the occasion of the Iroquois Theater fire in 1903, where 602 people died, and in the Cocoanut Grove fire in 1942. We can also mention the fire in the Beverly Hills Club (1977), in the Great American Circus in Niteroi, Brazil (1961), as well as in the Cromagnón Republic, Argentina (2004), among others. At the Kiss nightclub fire in 2013, where 242 young people died trying to escape from a true "trap", the panic was clearly described. Why dozens of people went to the bathroom believing that this was the exit? Were they not following the masses?
Often, some articles say that, in the same manner panic is not common in disasters, it is also rare in fires, which is controverted.
A crowded room with people pushing each other, shouting, darkness, smoke, watery eyes, coughing, fallen people, bodies on the ground, the difficulty of finding a way out and the heating feeling increasing. This is a description of scenarios where many deaths have occurred over the years, particularly in overcrowded nightclubs and with few or no emergency exits. It is not hard to imagine that such a situation is completely different from a natural disaster and in this cases, the panic can be installed quickly. In less than 3 minutes, high levels of cyanide, combined with carbon monoxide and low oxygen concentration, can be fatal. In 1946, in the Fire Winecoff Hotel (1946), it was reported that when firefighters arrived on the scene (within one minute after the alarm), several people had already jumped to the death from the higher floors of the building. They saw no alternative but to throw themselves out of the window. Can we say that this is a rational behavior? Or admit that a panic situation was present? It is different from those who were in the lower floors and tried to go down with makeshift ropes. The same erratic behavior was seen in many other fires. The desperation because, of the heat of the flames, toxic smoke and no glimpse of an acceptable alternative exit route, can certainly cause irrational behavior or panic.
The same authors of articles that say that panic is also rare in fires often are based on reports from survivors who said they had not seen panic. The survivors could not stay on site to see what happened to the other victims. They were focused on getting to save themselves. In fact, it is possible that they were saved because they did not panic.
Another frequent argument used by some experts is that the term "panic in fires and other tragedies ends up putting the responsibility for the deaths over the victims. "Something like saying that they died because they were out of control. Thus, the cause of the fire would be at the second layer. This is not correct to be assumed. There are no reports about fires or any other tragedies in which the main causes were not investigated because the deaths were credited to the panic. People die because of panic that it is often provoked by the criminal or inconsequent actions of other people.
In 2003, the Station nightclub in Rhode Island caught fire, killing 100 youngsters with a number of injured. A video made from the first seconds inside that place initially shows people trying to leave the place neatly. Many got out and no panic situation was observed. As time goes on however, the screams began to be heard and the image of people "stacked" at the main exit can be seen. People died in less than 5 minutes. Is it correct to say that panic was not present?
It is very common to find people trying to label human behavior. Those who do not admit that panic is a real concern end up adopting some narrow concepts for the same terminology. Sometimes, the understatement is used to find other words, which in the practice match the same definition of panic.
What is the problem in admitting that panic is a situation that can occur in fires, especially when the risk is imminent and the chances of escape seen by victims, as almost impossible? If panic does not exist, then there would be no need to panic hardware or professionals working to organize the evacuation and avoid panic, as provided in Fire Codes.
What name can we give to situations where dozens of people try to leave at the same time, through the same door, where they note that there are fallen people and yet persist?
Another issue concerns the panic models used. Panic cannot be simulated for various reasons. No situation could be simulated to actually cause intense fear in a person, so he believes that is going die within some minutes. If would be a serious ethical violation. The panic simulations on computers are very interesting and have several advantages, but are based on the average speed of people displacement that behaves in a standardized manner. In the real word, we have children, elderly, disabled, people with the most different types of physique, desperately trying to escape alive from a closed place in fire.
People do not go at the same speed and do not act in a standardized manner. It has no way to be tested through simulated. Precisely because no one knows what he can do to save his own life or his relatives until facing a situation of this nature.
This mass behavior has been studied for over a hundred years. All who have worked in major events and riots know that it is common to find people acting so only because they are following the mass behavior. They are able to act completely different than they would if they were alone. So much so that one of the successful tactics used by the police in such cases, it is to divide the mass into small groups.
To ignore or not admit the real possibility of panic in fires, as in the situations described above, makes it difficult to search for solutions or models for panic prevention and control. If is not possible to predict the reaction of people after the panic sets in. However, we should know what are the elements to be mitigated and work to prevent its occurrence. To not believe that panic might occur in fires will not protect anyone.

Cllr Colin Hayfield, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Education and Learning at Warwickshire County Council, said: "The county council has prioritised young people who are at risk of social exclusion and has established a planning and co-ordination group where we liaise with partners such as PET-Xi Training to provide our young people with the support in areas where it is most needed."
Fleur, winner of Businesswoman of the Year 2017, said the legacies of Positive Futures include the impact on the lives of young people and the Skills Hub which has been opened to make it easier for young people in Warwickshire to gain qualifications and improve their career prospects.
She said: "For over 20 years, PET-Xi's vision has been to champion every single person to fulfil their potential through education and employment, find their place in their community and transform their life.
"This scheme is designed to break down barriers to help young people in local communities to achieve essential basic maths and English qualifications and to improve their life chances by giving them the support they need to gain a job or a place in further education.
"It was fantastic to welcome Dr Blair and Glenn to PET-Xi Training to show them first-hand the benefits of the project.

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a tropical food crop with high potential, widely adapted to varied agro-climatic conditions. Colocasia contain 3.7 - 3.9, 1.16 - 1.53, 21.7 - 24.4 g/100g of crude protein, crude fibre, carbohydrates, respectively and minerals to an extent of 382 - 1049, 114 - 171, 0.19 - 0.51, 3.24 - 11.72, 3.01 - 5.63, 0.54 - 6.82, 58 - 266, 78 - 96, and 8.4 - 39.6 mg/100g of potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, respectively. Presence of fairly good amount of phytochemicals and antioxidants in colocasia had been proven effective in controlling coronary heart diseases, certain cancers and chronic degenerative diseases. Taro leaf silage, petioles, and corms could be used as feed ingredients for rearing of pigs, ducks and poultry.

In the UK we are not very good at drawing up wills. In fact, fewer than half of UK adults have done so , leaving 26 million people with no formal instructions for what should happen to their possessions on their death.
2) Anonymous donation "to clear the national debt" A public-spirited donor made a half-million pound bequest to Britain back in 1928, which is now worth more than £350m. Unfortunately, the anonymous donor was very specific about how the money should be spent: it should only be passed on once it is enough to clear the entire national debt. Sadly, the total national debt currently stands at £1.5tn and so the country can't touch the money.
3) A boozy weekend We all like to think that our friends will raise a glass to us when we've gone, but Roger Brown made sure of it. The 67-year-old lost his life to prostate cancer in 2013, leaving behind a secret bequest of £3,500 to seven of his closest friends, with the proviso that they use it for a boozy weekend away to a European city.
4) The "second-best bed" Poor Anne Hathaway, aka Mrs Shakespeare, has gone down in history as being snubbed by the Bard from beyond the grave. In his will, Shakespeare left her his "second-best bed" while the vast bulk of his estate went to his daughter Susanna.
5) $12m to a dog In 2004, billionaire hotelier Leona Helmsley left instructions for her $4bn (£2.5bn) fortune to be spent caring for dogs, having apparently re-thought an earlier draft that left it to the poor. Her nine-year-old Maltese, Trouble, received $12m (£8m) in the will, with her grandchildren either cut out or ordered to visit their father's grave annually in order to inherit their share.
Trouble's inheritance was later cut to just $2m (£1.2m) by a judge, although the dog still needed to go into hiding amid death and kidnap threats.
6) Flowers for Sidmouth When self-made millionaire financier Keith Owen, 69, was diagnosed with cancer and given just a few weeks to live, he decided to donate his entire £2.3m fortune to his favourite holiday spot, Sidmouth in Devon.
The money was given to the Sid Vale Association, with the stipulation that some of it was to be spent on one million flowering bulbs to keep the coastal town awash with colour. His will specifies that the capital should not be touched, but that the interest – about £125,000 a year – be spent on maintaining the town and two nearby villages.
The town has not yet planted the million bulbs, saying this could take a few more years.
7) A new husband For some embittered spouses a last will and testament is actually a last chance to insult their life partner one more time. So it was for German poet Heinrich "Henry" Heine who left his estate to his wife, Matilda, in 1856 on the condition that she remarry, so that "there will be at least one man to regret my death". Ouch.
8) A legacy of bitterness Michigan millionaire Wellington Burt used his will to put his enormous wealth out of reach of his family for almost a full century. When he died in 1919, his will was discovered to specify that his vast fortune would not be passed on until 21 years after the death of his last surviving grandchild. She died in 1989 and the 21-year countdown ended on November 2010. About 12 people discovered they were beneficiaries of the strange will, described as a "legacy of bitterness", and they shared a fortune estimated to be worth $110m.
9) A wife for a gay son When Frank Mandelbaum's will was read in 2007, it was discovered that he had left behind a $180,000 trust fund for his grandchildren. There was one additional clause, though, which concerned his son Robert. Robert's children would only inherit a share if Robert agreed to marry their mother within six months of their birth. One small problem: Robert is gay and is raising his son, Cooper, with his husband.
Random will beneficiaries … the only time it pays to not be ex-directory?
While it might seem hilarious to write jokes into a will, it's not without risk. Emma Myers, head of wills for Saga Legal Services, says: "Tempting as it may be to go out with a laugh, it's probably better to err on the side of caution and to take your will seriously.

Tanzania is a country so full of diverse and fantastical scenery that it can be almost impossible to select just one or two destinations to visit. If you have a little more time on your hands, take our advice and spend eighteen days doing it properly. From game driving to jungle trekking to lazing on pristine beaches, this itinerary gives you a flavour of it all.
International Flight | Ngorongoro Highlands
Depart from the UK on an indirect overnight flight to Tanzania, most likely connecting through Nairobi. After landing into Tanzania at Kilimanjaro Airport, meet your private driver and make the five hour drive to Ngorongoro Highlands and your lodge. After a long day of travelling spend the rest of the day settling into your luxurious and beautiful surroundings, and getting your first rays of Tanzanian sunshine. Let the holiday begin!
Ngorongoro Highlands
After breakfast this morning you'll be heading out to explore Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the world's largest inactive and intact volcanic caldera. Since the floor of the crater covers around 100 square miles it is also a basin of wildlife activity with herds of flamingos, endangered black rhino, and much, much more. This is a totally surreal game driving experience that never fails to disappoint. Later in the day you might also want to try The Olmoti Climb. This leisurely two to three hour walk follows an ancient Maasai cattle trail up to the summit of Olmoti crater, where the stunning views make the perfect complement to a cold afternoon beer. On the way down keep an eye out for wildlife amongst the mountain forest, grasslands and rocky outcrops.
Ngorongoro Highlands - Serengeti
Head away from Ngorongoro today and instead to the vast plains of the neighbouring Serengeti. Here you'll make base for the next three nights so there's plenty of chance to settle in and just relax at your lodge today. The Serengeti is one of the most famous wildlife areas in the world so absorb the fact that you're actually there and get ready to start spotting animals. You just might find there are a few wandering past your bedroom!
DAYS 4 & 5
There will be early starts over the next two days as you get up for the morning game drives. While the sun rises be the first out on the park, searching for the migrating wildebeest in 9,000 square miles of vast Serengeti plains. As safari experts, we promise you that seeing thousands of wildebeest charging past you, kicking dust up in the air and swarming the surrounding landscape, is one of the most spectacular wildlife sights you'll ever see - have your cameras charged and ready. Aside from wildebeest there are many other animals to spot and photograph in the Serengeti so you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to wildlife here. When you're not out on game drives, chat to other guests by the evening fire or stargaze under the inky African sky.
Serengeti - Mahale Mountains National Park
Start today with a transfer to the nearest airstrip where you'll catch a light aircraft to Mahale airstrip. It might be a day of travelling, but your light aircraft will be flying low enough to enjoy the stunning scenery out of the window as you soar. Once you arrive in Mahale there is a short boat transfer to your remote lodge on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. Sit and enjoy a sundowner on the rocks of the headland, with the Mahale Mountains rising behind you, and feel utterly at peace.
Mahale Mountains National Park
The next two days are all about chimpanzees. That's right - the Mahale Mountains are home to the world's largest known population of wild chimpanzees and you'll be out exploring on foot with expert guides and trackers to catch a glimpse of our closest cousins in their natural habitat. Hike through the beautiful landscape, crossing lush river valleys and bypassing tumbling waterfalls as you wind your way through the forest in search of these magnificent creatures. You can also opt to spend some time sunning on the beach, doing a spot of fishing or gliding across the lake on a boat trip.
Mahale Mountains National Park - Ruaha National Park
Leaving the lake behind you'll return to the airstrip in time for your flight to the Ruaha National Park. When you arrive it might feel a little like you've stepped back in time to a land less discovered - that's the beauty of Ruaha National Park. Once at your lodge, settle in and then set off in search of game; Ruaha is home to 10% of the world's lion population making it an ideal spot to seek out the Simba and co.
DAYS 10 & 11
Ruaha National Park
Another day, another game drive. Unlike some of the more famous parks in Tanzania, Ruaha sees few visitors. Coupled with its huge size, you may not spot any other game vehicles when out on a drive, and can often have incredible wildlife sightings all to yourselves. Amazing. Running right through the centre of the park is Ruaha River, and this makes the best spot for wildlife viewing as animals of all kinds stop to drink, play and socialise.
If you feel like a break from safari you might like to pay a visit to a local community and learn a little about the vibrant and exceptionally warm culture of Tanzania's rural villages.
Ruaha National Park- Zanzibar
Leave the wilderness of Ruaha behind for the idyllic shores of Zanzibar. Returning to the airstrip, you'll board a light aircraft to Dar es Salaam and on to Zanzibar where you will be met by our representative for the transfer to your island hotel.
Aaaaaand relax.
DAYS 13 to 17
Over the next five days let yourself fall for the Zanzibar lifestyle as you paddle in the Indian Ocean, laze on miles of sugar white sand and soak up some warm rays.
We suggest you also indulge in as much of the delicious Zanzibari cuisine as you can. Being an island, seafood is a staple and fresh, flavourful catches of the day can be found around the island. Fused with aromatic Indian spices and exotic African fruit and vegetables, Zanzibari cuisine is a real melting pot of gastronomical delights; try an octopus curry to really see what we mean by a fusion of flavours! In between all of the laziness you might also want to break the days up with some water sporting activity. Since the island is surrounded by crystal clear waters and a whole host of colourful marine and coral life the diving and snorkelling opportunities are excellent. Whether you're PADI qualified or have never dipped a toe in the water, you'll find a reef or lagoon to suit. If you'd prefer to keep your head above water, perhaps try kitesurfing or water skiing. If you want to get out and explore more of the island, explore the alleys of the historic and cultural capital Stone Town, perusing the boutiques and markets and sampling delicious street food as you go.
Zanzibar - UK
Today marks home time. Say goodbye to Zanzibar and hop on a light aircraft back to Dar es Salaam Airport to board your international flight home.
The estimated cost for this trip is £8,570 to £12,095 per person. The final cost of the trip depends on the way we tailor it especially for you. The final cost varies according to several factors, which include the level of service, length of trip and advance booking time. The exact price will be provided on your personalised quote. The average price for this trip is £10,080 per person.

The King of Staten Island (2020)
Pete Davidson is a polarizing person. He has been in the spotlight for a number of years and he is still only 26. He can certainly be offensive and crass but all in all he seems like a nice guy. Of course, I only have interviews I have seen with him and what I've read to base this off of.
The King of Staten Island is more or less based on Davidson's life. Semi-fictionalized, this Judd Apatow film is a combination of comedy and heart. It follows Scott, a 24-year old wannabe tattoo artist, living in his mother's basement. In a state of psychological arrested development (I definitely stole this from Wikipedia) since his father's death, he struggles with depression, drug use, and not being able to move on and get his shit together. Unlike Scott, his sister Claire (Maude Apatow) is a high achiever and is now off to college leaving Scott and their mother Margie (Marisa Tomei) to try and stick it out together.
Margie starts dating firefighter Ray (Bill Burr) and Scott freaks out. He can't come to terms with his mother dating for the first time in 17 years and it being with another firefighter. Eventually kicked out of the house he relies on some friends at the fire department to help him figure some things out.
Let's just get this out of the way, if you don't like Pete Davidson you are probably not going to like this movie. That being said, since the subject matter is so close to his heart he takes it seriously. Pete is ultimately playing a version of himself so it can only really be the most authentic performance.
While Pete may not be the most talented actor he performs well in his role as himself and the rest of the cast really tie the story together. I will always love Marisa Tomei and no one can convince me otherwise but I was definitely impressed with Maude Apatow and Bill Burr. I don't think I've seen Maude act since she was a kid and while it was a little off putting seeing her as an adult she does a great job in limited screen time.
Some other great characters are firehouse chief Papa (Steve Buscemi), Scott's on-again off-again dalliance Kelsey (Bel Powley), Ray's ex-wife Gina (Pamela Adlon), and a random cameo from rapper Action Bronson.
I enjoyed the realistic aspects of much of the story. I liked how his mental health journey was depicted. He is not suddenly all better by the end but he has taken the first steps and while positive still just the beginning. Also his journey as a tattoo artist could have ended with him becoming a great tattoo artist but by the end he still kind of sucks and it helps to ground the story.
Since this is a generally biographical story there are a number of ties to Pete's real life in the movie. He was born and raised in Staten Island and currently lives there in his mother's basement. While not specifically mentioned in the movie, Pete has struggled with depression and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2017. Pete also shares Crohn's disease with his character and it comes up in a pretty hilarious way.
Pete's character in the movie was named after his father Scott Davidson. Like his character, Pete's father was a firefighter and died when Pete was 7. In the movie he was said to have died in a hotel fire which is technically true but more specifically Scott Davidson died at the Marriot World Trade Center in the September 11 attacks. The is a dedication to Scott at the end of the film.
The story is endearing and it is bolstered by good performances. I don't always relate with Pete's (or in this case Scott's) lifestyle but he is ultimately a good person that you want to root for. One big issue for me is its runtime. At 136 min it is about 30 minutes too long. There is a scene where Pete is tasked to feed and take care of a cat and it is emphasized quite a lot but no follow up is ever seen. It is a complete throwaway scene. There are a few of these that could have been cut to tighten up the flow of the story.
Other reviews seem to have it averaging around the 6-7/10 range. For me it's a little low but not far off. I would give it a 7, maybe a 7.5 dependent on mood.
It is available on video on demand now but I would probably just wait until it comes out on streaming services. Give it a couple of months and you can catch it then.
Vitamin String Quartet's orchestral version of Red Hot Chili Pepper's Scar Tissue is playing in a scene where Scott is walking Ray's kids to and from school. I have been a big fan of VSQ for years and I highly recommend you check them out.
Pamela Adlon is probably most known for her voice work. I associate her with voicing Bobby Hill in King of the Hill and Spinelli in Recess.
Steve Buscemi was a New York city firefighter in the earlier 80's before he started acting.
Honestly here is a much better and more in-depth read about this movie on The Ringer.

At the same time, the possibilities of Scoop and Mordor are completely incomparable. Mordor and 1/10 Scoop does not pull. To give in to such weaklings having a powerful economy and a decent army, and in addition a bunch of allies behind their backs is insanity. Putting the Kremlin lads is not a problem, it is vulnerable and dependent. You only need to want to.
"Nothing is new under the moon and all the secret becomes apparent" – something like this is said in the Scriptures. Events in France fully confirm this common truth.
Is it the first time that the NKVD-KGB-FSB is shaking this country and trying to turn from a paradise of hedonism into the hell of Bolshevism. Didn't the same thing happen in the 30s and 60s. Was it not then that the world Bolshevik filth put together a so-called popular front, dependent on Stalin, who surrendered to the Germans and the Soviets first Czechoslovakia, then Poland, and then France itself virtually without a fight. And didn't the Communists, together with the left socialists, walk in front of the millionth column of leftists and anarchists along the Saint-Michel Boulevard in Paris in May 1968, leaving behind the ruins of burnt cars and broken windows.
And wasn't Macron and his team sufficiently taught history to not know about these events?
They taught, of course, and they know, but bad luck, a false sense of security and invulnerability once again captured Europe so much that the lessons of the past again did not go in vain. Bacteria of destructive communist infection from Russia, backed up by completely capitalist financial resources, have spread so widely within the European organism that they pose a real threat to the European way of life, culture, values and welfare.
The constant pacification of the aggressor, the persuasion and the swaying of a finger led to a feeling of impunity and the desire to inflict maximum damage to the victim.
On the streets of Paris, other cities of France and some other countries, teams took part that had long been preparing for this. Leftists of all stripes, lumpen, criminal elements, professionals and instructors sent from Russia, organizedly took people to the streets first under the more or less innocent slogan of reducing the trifling excise tax on gasoline, and when the government and President Macron took this step out of foolishness and stupidity, they immediately new pre-prepared slogans have appeared, among which are the resignation of power, the withdrawal from the EU and NATO, the demands of economic reforms, under which lies hiding economic populism and others.
Naturally, pogroms began, helpful journalists and television cameras recorded "police atrocities" that detained the pogroms, Russian speech sprinkled on the streets sounded with mats, Russian patriotic waltzes from the Russo-Japanese War, Russian flags, DNR rags, well, who doubted that before that will come very quickly. Except the French government, of course.
In neighboring Italy, this is not necessary. There, the most influential minister of the government of Salvini brings tens of thousands of people to a rally, where the second in the number of flags after Italian goes to Russia.
The demonstrators put on balaclavas, characteristic jackets with hoods, waved the same flags and similar posters, beat the windows and run on command, in the crowd of yellow vests here and there flicker red that clearly coordinate this performance.
In general, the situation is alarming. Under it was clearly started a provocation in the Sea of Azov and a willingness to invade under a favorable set of circumstances. Fortunately, we were ready for this, and the introduction of martial law, contrary to Putin's bastards from the Verkhovna Rada, somewhat cooled off hot heads in the Kremlin.
However, it is still very, very serious. Serious trials await Europeans if they do not realize the depth and causes of the problem.
And we just have nowhere to retreat. We will either win or perish. And in this paradigm the guarantee of our victory.

Artist Chatelain (1684-1743)
Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He lived consecutively in Paris, St. Martins, London (c. 1710), The Hague (c. 1721) and Amsterdam (c. 1728). He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie.

Year ca. 1720
Description Map shows the nine floor tower of the Province Fokien and the emperors of China
By the 15th century, Beijing had essentially taken its current shape. The Ming city wall continued to serve until modern times, when it was pulled down and the 2nd Ring Road was built in its place. It is generally believed that Beijing was the largest city in the world for most of the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.The first known church was constructed by Catholics in 1652 at the former site of Matteo Ricci's chapel; the modern Nantang Cathedral was later built upon the same site. The capture of Beijing by Li Zicheng's peasant army in 1644 ended the dynasty, but he and his Shun court abandoned the city without a fight when the Manchu army of Prince Dorgon arrived 40 days later. The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty( the years 1420 to 1912). It is located in the center of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. When Hongwu Emperor's son Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, he moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, and construction began in 1406 on what would become the Forbidden City.Construction lasted 14 years and required more than a million workers. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government for almost 500 years. The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. Since 1925 the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Bayern looking to revive their academy which has lost ground in recent years.
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has accused English clubs of effectively "kidnapping" young players from overseas.
Bayern are set to open a new youth academy in the north of Munich next summer, and Rummenigge has declared he would have "moral reservations" about filling it with youngsters from outside Germany.
Rummenigge says the club's focus will not be on overseas targets but on those closer to home in Munich, Bavaria and beyond.
Bayern have a history of nurturing homegrown talent, with the likes of Philipp Lahm, Thomas Müller and Bastian Schweinsteiger coming through the ranks in recent years. Rummenigge, though, hopes the new academy will revive the club's production line which he admitted had "lost a bit of ground, nationally and internationally" in that area.
Rummenigge has become increasingly critical of English clubs in recent seasons, arguing that the financial advantages they enjoy, courtesy of the domestic TV deals, threatens the balance of European football. It was the growing financial muscle of the Premier League, he argued, which was the principal motivation behind the recent revamping of the Uefa Champions League.


Early in January 2012 Niels Arden Oplev called Paul Cameron ASC to gauge his interest in a film shooting in Philadelphia that coming summer. "I was familiar with his previous film, the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," says Cameron. "I didn't hesitate to take the meeting.
Farrell plays Victor, a man who lost a wife and child to his crime lord employer – Alphonse, played by Howard. "In the film," says Cameron, "what starts as revenge becomes something much greater about the choice to move on in life," which is where Rapace's character Beatrice comes in. While Beatrice helps Victor move on, he also helps her as she is seeking revenge; an unusual love story commences.
He ended up using the ARRI Alexa for the majority of Dead Man Down, the sensor being what he considers the most film-like of all the digital capture sensors currently on the market, maintaining sharpness and detail important to the story: "I'm so glad we shot ARRIRAW, as much of the film lives in close-ups with shallow depth-of-field. Capturing uncompressed 4:4:4 aided sharpness – I highly recommend this over shooting SDI compressed, especially for 2:40 Spherical and 2K theatrical releases. The ARRIRAW colour correction allows for cleaner shadows, more information and less clipping in highlights.
Close to every cinematographer's heart is the final look of the movie. Cameron employed a unique system allowing his visuals to be carried through into post production. Using Assimilate Scratch – a colour correction system Cameron has been using for two years on films and commercials – the DP and Los Angeles-based DIT Dane Brehm could oversee advanced dailies and grade on set. 1619 in NYC transcoded and provided dailies via PIX and Apple iPad.
Of his first time working with senior DI colourist Jill Bogdanowicz at Technicolor Hollywood, the DP says, "She did an amazing job in a very short time." Senior engineer John-Michael Trojan from Dive provided support interfacing DIT/Brehm, Assimilate and 1619. Senior colour timer Mato Der Avanessian from Fotokem handled the IP/IN and film prints, "one of the greatest lab film timers left," says Cameron.
"I utilised their Fuji 35mm 64D scan, It has a very sharp, small grain pattern which isn't overwhelming."
Elaborating on his experiences on set, Cameron shares some simple, effective lighting techniques on a budget: "Our shooting package was fairly standard for a small film. Gaffer Ken Shibata and I used plentiful Mac Tech LED lights and T Pars. We retrofitted all Shibata's Kino fixtures to employ the Mac Tech High Output LED bulbs for tungsten and daylight. I never use the Kino tubes anymore unless I have to. The new LED bulbs have a cleaner colour spectrum and don't shift temperatures as they warm up. The T Pars are Tungsten 12K and 5K Par lights, which can be retrofitted with mercury halide or sodium bulbs – great for streaming sunlight, or switching over for dirty light night exteriors.
Dead Man Down started scouting early March 2012. Due to budget constraints, the majority of the film was shot in Philadelphia, doubling for New York City. Oplev and his long-time production designer, Niels Sejer, wanted the film to feel grounded in a timeless New York, seen through Eastern European eyes. This approach dictated all their decisions; the protagonists are immigrants trapped in a lower eastside project tenement building, with facing balconies on the 17th floor.
The SS United States, a ship from 1952 dry-docked in Philadelphia, was used for the interiors where Victor holds hostage the brother of an Albanian gang. Shot with mostly natural light, Cameron used only minimal fill to separate Farrell from the backgrounds.
Speaking about the visuals in the film's action sequences, he says, "We sat around the same table for countless hours, tweaking and reviewing location photos for Cafe Cora or 3D renders for Alphonse's house, fine-tuning the sequences over and over. Niels [Oplev] was relentless. We had such limited time; we wanted a few 'must have' shots to give the sequences dimension.
"In the Cafe Cora sequence there's a couple of remote head shots on an aero crane, with Victor on the rooftop about to shoot at Alphonse below. Once the chase ensues, I utilised a gas-powered mini-camera car and handheld for some chasing and counter moves. I love it because it's raw and it's fast and I operate those shots.
"In the stairwell where Victor is chased, key grip Jim McMillan, best boy Dave McAllister and I designed a small descender rig accommodating a Libra Compact. The rig barely passed through the rails it was so small.
"Driving shots on Farrell and Rapace are from crossing hostess trays, custom built to get the cameras further out from the windows. You get better overs that way. I prefer rigging and free driving to process trailers. The trade-off is you can't make adjustments, but it really worked for this film, with a shooting sensibility of locked off close-ups and tight frames trapping the actors.
Experienced lenser Cameron is typically humble about his work on the film: "When you have a great script and talented director the challenge is even more daunting!" he says. But he is happy with the results, and looks forward to future projects with all involved.

Q: Use the old, XP style Alt+Tab in LXDE How do I make the Alt+Tab in LXDE to show icons only, similar to Windows XP's Alt+Tab dialog?
This is how it looks now:

And this is the old XP style dialog:

A: Found the answer here - http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/reverting-to-the-old-alt-tab-dialog-in-openbox-3-5/
You need to edit ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml (or ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml if you're on Lubuntu), and add <dialog>icons</dialog> to the Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab key-bindings, so they look like this:
<!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
<keybind key="A-Tab">
  <action name="NextWindow">
    <dialog>icons</dialog>
  </action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-S-Tab">
  <action name="PreviousWindow">

Ohio State football | Tim May's Insider after the Penn State game
25 words or fewer
Although it's true it ain't over till it's over, it sure looked over until Binjimen Victor, K.J. Hill, Chase Young and the Buckeyes took over.
In the polls
Ohio State finding a way to squeak past the No. 9 team on the road was considered a stouter accomplishment by the poll voters than Clemson, with a backup quarterback, squeaking past an unbeaten team at home. That's why the Buckeyes moved up a spot to No. 3 in both major polls behind Alabama and Georgia, while Clemson, previously No. 2 in the coaches' poll and No. 3 in the AP poll, fell to No.4.
Who's hot?
Chase Young. No one is going to completely replace Nick Bosa — the defensive end is, after all, considered one of the elite players in the country. But Young came of age at Penn State and delivered huge plays, including a batted pass on fourth down and later a tackle of running back Miles Sanders in the backfield on fourth-and-5 with 1:12 to play.
What else is hot?
The wide receiver corps. Well, it started cold, but it finished like a branding iron. Victor put his imprint on the history of the series with a 47-yard catch from Dwayne Haskins that cut Penn State's lead to 26-21, and K.J. Hill did the same with the screen pass he turned into the winning 24-yard touchdown play. All the while, Terry McLaurin, Austin Mack and Parris Campbell kept blocking.
What's not hot?
The propensity to give up jaw-dropping, historic plays. After pinning the Nittany Lions deep on another of Drue Chrisman's impressive punts, the one thing the Ohio State defense couldn't allow was the fastest man on the field to catch a slant in stride in man coverage. It did — K.J. Hamler outrunning Shaun Wade across the middle, then safety Isaiah Pryor taking a bad angle that allowed Hamler to jet away 93 yards, the second longest play from scrimmage for Penn State. It was the second 93-yard touchdown play Ohio State has given up this season, to go with 80- and 78-yarders. That's an epidemic.
Dinged up
Cornerback Damon Arnette apparently is in concussion protocol after having to be helped from the field in fourth quarter and will be evaluated as the week progresses. With Pryor kicked out for a questionable targeting call, the Buckeyes plumbed their defensive backfield depth, Jeffrey Okudah replacing Arnette and Jahsen Wint stepping in for Pryor. Defensive tackle Dre'Mont Jones returned to action after rolling his left ankle during Penn State's last possession. He left the stadium wearing an isolation boot and also will be further evaluated through the week.
Catch that?
With the Ohio State offense suddenly finding its stride in the fourth quarter, the line sensed a takeover up front. Before the winning TD pass play to Hill, left tackle Thayer Munford was seen making motions to the bench area that indicated he and his linemates wanted to shove it down the Nittany Lions throats. Either way, it worked.
Indiana held off Rutgers 24-17 on Saturday to move to 4-1, the lone loss being 35-21 to Michigan State two weeks ago. The Hoosiers are No. 5 in the Big Ten in total offense (412.2 yards per game), led by quarterback Peyton Ramsey, who has thrown eight TD passes with five interceptions. They are No. 6 in total defense (321.8).
This week's challenge
A year ago after another incredible comeback victory over Penn State, the Buckeyes went to Iowa and laid an ostrich egg, a lopsided lost that likely cost them a spot in the College Football Playoff, even though they went on to win the Big Ten title. Indiana, an opening 27.5-point underdog, is just the kind of team that could take advantage of a sighing bunch of Buckeyes, and this season there would be no excuse.

Q: How to pass scripts during AWS ECS clusters provisioning? I'm learning AWS ECS and able to run the task/containers using the ECS instances. But the problem is there are certain scripts that I was executing to the underlying EC2 instances (provisioned through ECS instances) manually after doing SSH (port 22) to them. Is there any better way which would automate this process of running the following scripts whenever the ECS cluster setup is done or whenever the autoscaling kicks-in:-
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

A: In your launch template (LT) or launch configuration (LC) for the autoscaling group of container instances, you can specify user_data. This is place where you can add your bootstrap code for the instances.
You are already probably using the user_data, as your instances need to be provided with ecs cluster name to which they belong. So you can create new LT/LC with the sysctl command to execute when the instances are launched by your autoscaling group.

Q: Bottom Half vs. Kernel context in Preemption disabled kernel Quick question.

*

*Ethernet driver raise IRQ.

*ISR will schedule tasklet (BH)

*There is critical section between this tasklet and some kernel context (which is trigger by "ioctl")

*KERNEL_PREEMPTION is disabled / But CONFIG_SMP is enabled (2 CPUs)

In this situation, should I use "spin_lock_bh"?
Since preemption is "disabled", even though kernel context holds "spin_lock", tasklet cannot preempt the kernel context which is calling ioctl and this kernel context is kind of "safe" from BH.
or is it possible for following scenario to happen?
When this kernel context is getting serviced, IRQ comes and ISR will schedule tasklet. Then, after returning from IRQ, kernel schedule will pickup tasklet even though there is kernel context.
I'm not sure which one is correct?

A: Preemption status is irrelevant. Upon return from the ISR, the tasklet could run whether preemption is enabled or disabled. So, yes you need to use spin_lock_bh().
Regarding synchronization issues, SoftIRQs/Tasklets behave like the ISRs, the only difference is that ISRs interrupt BHs. Since the ISR interrupted the kernel while it was holding a lock, so can the tasklet.
