County Stakeholders Fight for Change in Madison
By Door County Pulse, Peninsula Pulse – April 23rd, 2015
r>Water was the keystone agenda item at Legislative Days and delegates felt their efforts were mostly successful. The day consisted of meeting with individual legislators and presentations to a panel of Wisconsin's agencies.
"If you could do one thing while you're down here," said Representative Joel Kitchens to the group, "please impress on our legislators how important this relationship that we have with water is. We will forever be trying to find the proper balance between the economic development of our shoreline and preserving the natural beauty. But I think we can all agree on one thing – we need to protect our water."
Water-related issues on the agenda included agriculture standards to protect groundwater contamination, securing funding for beach testing, improving the Kewaunee Harbor seawall and restoring the Harbor Assistance Program.
"There's no district in the state that has a greater abundance of water but there's also none that has a greater dependence on it. It drives our manufacturing, our agriculture, it certainly drives our tourism," said Kitchens.
In the morning, county representatives for each agenda item presented to a panel of state agencies. After a luncheon with Representative Kitchens, delegates split into groups of five to talk to individual legislators at pre-arranged meetings.
Delegates met with assemblymen, senators and aides to representatives. Kitchens warned that many representatives were wrapped up in budget concerns and had less time for visitors.
Still, delegates met with up to four representatives to pitch their agenda items and hope for a positive reception from the lawmakers.
State Assistance for Preventing Groundwater Contamination
Conservationists called for legislators to create geo-regions throughout the state, allowing local governments to enforce groundwater standards based on their specific geology. Legislators were receptive on the grounds of keeping water clean and clear. But most representatives sought a draft of legislation that would get the ball moving.
Door County Conservationist Greg Coulthurst felt this item could gain momentum in allowing each part of the state to address the issue as they needed to. It is not an issue exclusive to northeast Wisconsin.
Representative Todd Novak warned that, "when you section off different parts of the state, you get pushback from different groups."
Still, Coulthurst had positive conversations with Representatives Jim Ott, Jeff Mursau and Scott Krug, who had been following the issue for the past three years.
Coulthurst was disappointed in the lack of receptiveness from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), but trusts that better science will bring greater attention from the department.
Establish Steady Funding for Beach Water Testing
Kitchens explained that closed beaches and contaminated water are as poisonous to the economy of Door and Kewaunee counties as they are to its citizens. Delegates hoped to get a secure funding source to ensure continued testing of beach water and posting for beaches that are closed to swimmers.
Delegate Sam Perlman from the Door County Economic Development Corporation told legislators that, with the viral nature of social media, visitors that fall ill due to beach contamination would create a "public relations nightmare" for the area.
DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp advised county public health officials to seek avenues of funding such as grants for recreational use. The panel also discussed the idea of county and municipal money contributing to the testing fund, as seen in cities such as Milwaukee and Racine.
Restoration of the Kewaunee Harbor Seawall
Kewaunee delegates advocated for $4.2 million to be provided in restoring the Kewaunee Harbor seawall that has fallen into disrepair. Representatives that know Kitchens have heard him promote the seawall, with Representative Novak calling it "Kitchen's baby."
"I am cautiously optimistic that we will get the Kewaunee harbor project done," said Kitchens.
This idea was echoed among other legislators who stated there will most likely be room in the budget for the restoration.
Restoration of Harbor Assistance Program Funding
The Harbor Assistance Program, which Sturgeon Bay hopes to use to improve its waterfront redevelopment and Bay Shipbuilding has used to develop its harbor, lost $11.6 million in bonding authority. Roughly $1 million is available to cover more than $10 million in pending grants from six commercial harbors around Wisconsin.
"The thing I don't like with these competitive grants, is that guys like you get pushed out of the bigger competition," said Representative Novak about Sturgeon Bay competing with harbors such as Sheboygan, Green Bay and La Crosse.
Sherri Walz, program manager of the Harbors and Waterways division of the Department of Transportation (DOT), explained that $3.7 million was made available from a returned grant but they did not expect any more funding to be made available. Walz also suggested to Sturgeon Bay Mayor Thad Birmingham to apply for grants from the DNR to develop the waterfront district. The waterfront redevelopment calls for recreation areas that are eligible for grants from the DNR.
The DOT will announce which commercial ports will receive grant funding within the next three weeks.
Support the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program
Legislators are already at work lifting the freeze on the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program proposed by Governor Scott Walker.
"Freezing it is just going to kill it and we can't have that," said Representative Novak. Novak and 10 other Republican representatives signed a letter addressed to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos calling for the program to continue.
"We believe that Governor Walker's budget proposal to halt purchases from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship program is the wrong policy for Wisconsin," the letter stated. "Not only is protecting our environment the right thing to do, it is also vital to our economy… People flock to our state to enjoy our pristine waterways and hike our beautiful forests."
Technology Needs for Public Schools
High property values in Door County are interpreted by the state as having equally high income levels. The state does not fund these districts as much despite the fact that the property values do not equate to an ability to pay. Door County is property rich, but income poor.
Southern Door Superintendent Patti Vickman received support from state agencies in her presentation about fair funding.
"[Assistant State Superintendent] Kurt Kiefer said that our presentation was spot-on as to the direction that is needed for our schools and the opportunities needed for student learning to ensure that they are college- and career-ready," said Vickman.
The proposed budget cuts would result in reduced funds of nearly a half million in both Door and Kewaunee schools.
"Legislators or their staffers indicated that they had heard lots of concern from the general public, educators, and parents that the cuts being made to public K-12 and the university system were going to set the state back on its goal," said Vickman.
Winery Regulatory Reform
In its second time on the Legislative Days agenda, legislators agreed with the winery reform, calling for an equal definition of a small winery and small brewery. Representative Romaine Quinn believes the reform makes "complete sense." Yet the beer distributor lobby is a strong force in Wisconsin.
"It would be nice if everyone would get together in a room outside of here and come to a decision they could bring to us," said Rep. Novak.
"We are not asking for any money or a handout. We are only asking for fairness," said Tim Lawrie, founder of Simon Creek Winery.
Delegates were not confident that, despite the logic of the reform, legislators have enough time during budget season to pursue the change among other agenda items.

Flames in Net
The goaltending position in Calgary has never been a worry for the past half decade, and considering Flames fans tend to worry about pretty much everything else, it's nice to have one less thing. This season, Calgary looks to have its strongest tandem to date in between the pipes with Miikka Kiprusoff and newcomer Henrik Karlsson manning the 4X6.
Kipper for his part, was the lone bright spot and hands down MVP of the Calgary Flames last season. Was he smoking a new kind of weed? No one really knows.
Regardless of what dope he may or may not be into, Miikka Kiprusoff is a world class goaltender that deserved a better fate last season.
His numbers last year speak for themselves. He had a 2.31 GAA with a .920 Save% and posted 35 wins including four shutouts. The only thing Kipper didn't do was score goals, although I'm sure he would've tried if given the chance.
So how can the Flames help Kipper out?
Well, scoring more than 2.45 goals per game (2nd last in the NHL) would be a great start. For a quick scary comparison that's a goal and a half less per game than Washington scored last season.
You score more goals, you conversely put mountains of less pressure on your goaltender to save your bacon time and again. The Flames have put pieces into place to score more goals; whether these pieces are the right pieces are yet to be determined, but we will find out soon enough.
The other thing the Flames did to help Kipper out is go and find him a suitable back-up goaltender; or so it would seem. Karlsson, or the "Calgary Tower" (he is 6-foot-5), has a firm grasp on the back-up position given his stellar pre-season play and his one-way contract.
No one really knows a lot about this guy and that's why it could bode well for the Flames this season as opposing shooters will not have a lot of film to work off of. He has looked stellar in the pre-season and made some fantastic saves in the Red vs. White game. He takes up a large portion of the net, so right away the intimidation factor is present. Other than that he is a mystery man. He has never suited up in an NHL game, which is the only thing that worries me. But then again, the other possible back-ups (Keetley and Irving) have suited up for one game combined. Karlsson is used to a bigger ice surface but I am sure he will adjust fairly quickly.
With a suitable back-up in town - something Calgary has never had with Kipper in between the pipes - it will allow Kipper to have the odd night off without forfeiting the game as the Flames did on so many occasions over the past 5 seasons.
In the nine games that he did not start in last season the Flames won 4 and lost 5; reasonable I guess but the team was allowing more than a half a goal more per game. And with a Flames team that ranked so extremely low in goal scoring, that 'half a goal' looked like a five, I am sure.
Every year the team says they would like to limit the amount of time Kipper plays, yet every year he has played in excess of 73 games. Part due to the non-reliable back-up, but also because I believe, and I think many other will agree, that Kipper simply loves playing every night; much like Martin Brodeur who is arguably the greatest goaltender of all time. Goaltenders want to be in the crease, regardless of how tired they get. And what is the Coach to say when Kipper plays like he is capable of; in Calgary it was the only hope of winning most of last season.
But this year, I have a feeling things might be different. If Karlsson steps up in a couple of his early starts than Brent Sutter will not hesitate in throwing him in probably 15-20 times throughout the season, which will limit Kipper's playing time significantly. The fascinating thing to see will how Miikka responds to not playing night in and night out; will he be less sharp? Are the Flames limiting his potential in doing so?
There were two instances last season where he started 19 straight games (11-5-3) and 15 straight games (5-7-3). I would be shocked if we see that again this year.
Bottom line, for the Flames to do anything this year Miikka has to be just as good if not better than he was last year. He needs to steal games, like he has been doing for so many years in Calgary. So whether it's a new kind of weed, or he is back chain smoking([url]http://bit.ly/bAeqfM), I don't care. As long as he keeps the little black thing out of the big net behind him, he can be high on whatever he wants. I'm sure Henrik will share in a toke if it results in playing like a golden god.

Karlsson isn't exactly a "mystery man" who came out of nowhere. He has been in the Sharks system for a while. We are stocked with young goalies and he was about 8th on our depth chart so we traded him to you guys for a 6th round pick in this year's draft. That's a good omen though because Kipper was 3rd on the Sharks depth chart and he turned out pretty good for the Flames.
Well no im not saying he is a total nobody but not many people not a whole lot about him. It would be something if he turned into the next Kipper tho :)

I don't care if he's the next kipper as long as we still have kipper, i hope he's actually a goalie who can win A game if played.
mslepp
Sad that we have to cross our fingers every year that we have a backup goaltender that can win more than 30% of his games. Funny Sharks_12, that Karlsson was "8th" on your depth chart but was the backup in the playoffs...
FLflames34
he just has to be a .500 backup, which would be better than any previous to Turek. Just win at least 1/2 the games you are in (7-7-1 for example) and the rest is gravy.

Maggie's 'Million Little Things' Open Mic Song Showcased A Hidden Talent
by Martha Sorren
Jack Rowand/ABC
Spoilers ahead for A Million Little Things Season 2, Episode 5. Allison Miller has already graced the show's soundtrack once last season with her "I'm Still Standing" cover, but now she's singing in character, too. Maggie sings at the piano on A Million Little Things at the end of Episode 5, and it's a really brave and quiet moment for her character. No, she didn't end up going to Eric's open mic night, but she did let her guard down and decide to play and sing again — for herself. The scene was a little confusing because it was intentionally edited to make it look like Eric was sitting front row and watching Maggie sing, which would have made Gary's arrival that much more dramatic. But the fake out then revealed that Eric was watching a stranger play the piano at the open mic, and Maggie was back at her old apartment just playing for herself.
She chose to cover the 1980 Pete Townshend song, "Let My Love Open the Door" from his Empty Glass album. Townshend, best known for being in The Who, also had a successful solo career with hits such as this one. His version is much more '80s-ified with an upbeat melody and synth everywhere. Maggie's version was slow and stripped down to just its raw lyrics and tone. Her version worked well for the episode's closing montage which had her refrain, "let my love open the door to you heart," playing over scenes of Eddie and Katherine trying to work on their marriage, Delilah and her children celebrating their new little family member, and Gary probably wishing desperately that Maggie would open her heart more to him.
In the episode, fans learned that Maggie has a musical background, but that she let that part of herself go to focus on beating cancer the first time. By the time she was re-diagnosed, she had pretty much completely given it up. It makes sense then that she wasn't ready to fully get out there and sing for a crowd — something she's actually never done. Maggie told Eric that she just used to play for her late brother Chad. Her singing alone in her apartment can be looked at as her way of singing to him again, asking him to let her love open the door to his heart — which now resides in Eric.
This sudden talent of Maggie's to sing and play the piano isn't that unexpected. Miller, who plays Maggie, has a strong musical background herself. Seventeen magazine reported that the actor can dance, sing, and play the piano and guitar. Miller was even featured on the Million Little Things Season 1 soundtrack singing Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" from the episode in which Maggie began to realize that she did want to fight her cancer again. The tune starts out slow but hits a powerful crescendo that will give you chills to hear it paired with Maggie's resolute face in the mirror, as she decides to fight and try to live.
At the time, the actor received a really positive response to her Elton John song cover, so it was really only a matter of time before A Million Little Things relied on her powerful singing talent again. Maybe one day Maggie will go to an open mic, but right now she's just getting reacquainted with herself post-cancer and re-learning how to do the things she once loved now that she has the time to do them.
The show will likely continue to follow her singing journey as it goes along, which is a real treat for fans who get to keep hearing Miller's hauntingly beautiful takes on upbeat tunes.

Top of the morning to ya! Feeling a little less lucky and a little more Irish this morning? We hope you all had an amazing St Patrick's Day, and hopefully throughout your celebrations managed to catch a glimpse of our latest work for @eatsouthbank.


This seminar took place on 4th November 2015, at the Careers & Employability Service, and was delivered by Carol Draycott, Centre Director for the University of Law in the North-West. It outlines the strategy required to increase your chances of getting a vacation scheme or training contact as a trainee solicitor in a law firm. It also highlights the changes in the legal marketplace over recent years and the importance of understanding these changes.


Erika Martinez watched her newborn son fight withdrawal and drew inspiration from him; however, she will still serve jail time for previous actions.
Erika Martinez gave birth to a son addicted to methadone.
As she watched little Joshua fight through withdrawal during his extended stay at Reid Health, Martinez, 30, knew she needed to change, she told Judge Gregory Horn on Monday.
"My mind-set changed after I had my second child, my son," she said during a mercy plea hearing in Wayne Superior Court II. "Seeing my son go through what he had to go through in the hospital, I felt so guilty."
"If my infant son can do that, then I can do that," Martinez said she thought.
Now, however, she will spend time away from her son and an older daughter despite beating her addiction and weaning herself off the prescribed medications. Horn sentenced Martinez to 1½ years of incarceration followed by 1½ years of probation for Level 5 aiding, inducing or causing burglary.
She admitted to setting up two March 2015 drug buys designed to become robberies. Martinez is the second of five involved in the burglaries to plead guilty and receive a sentence, following her cousin, Lacey K. Atkinson.
Defense attorney Austin Shadle asked Horn to impose the advisory, three-year sentence split with one year of home-detention and two years of probation. Deputy Prosecutor Teresa Ashcraft requested the three years be split evenly between incarceration and probation.
Horn told Martinez that she presented herself as bright, articulate and likable and showed remorse while taking responsibility for her actions.
"But I can't get beyond the fact these were pretty serious situations," he said. "It just seems to me that the right thing here is exactly what the state recommended. It seems to me that's a fair, reasonable result."
Martinez told a story Monday the judge said would test the imagination of any fiction writer.
After the death of her husband the day after Christmas 2014, she decided she would move from East Chicago to Wayne County, where she would be closer to family. Martinez lived with Atkinson in hopes the cousins could help each other through tough times. Life, however, only became tougher when Atkinson began dating Larrie Larkin.
Martinez stressed she did not blame her cousin, but at that time, she began using heroin.
"My cousin and the crew of people she hung out with influenced me to use heroin," Martinez said.
She also would buy heroin for them, Martinez testified, adding that during one $200 buy she was given a lookalike substance.
"When I gave that to Lacey and her boyfriend, they were highly upset," Martinez testified. "They wanted to recoup their losses."
Martinez set up another drug deal. She directed as Atkinson drove herself, Larkin, Taquion Smoots and Steven K. Smith to a residence. Martinez went inside, then Larkin, Smoots and Smith burst in the unlocked front door, Martinez testified, with Larkin and Smoots carrying handguns.
The group used the same scheme at another residence, but the victim, whom Larkin hit in the head with a gun, was brought out to the vehicle. Martinez said she then told Atkinson to take her home before the rest of the group drove to Knightstown planning to meet and rob one of the victim's friends.
At the rendezvous, however, the victim got in his friend's vehicle, and they drove off, spoiling the ambush.
"I feel very, very remorseful," said Martinez, with her fiance and his family observing the hearing.
Horn wondered why with the prospect of incarceration lingering that Martinez allowed herself to become pregnant.
"I didn't care about myself and I didn't take care to protect myself," she said.
But, Martinez said, since the birth of her son, she has changed her lifestyle and cut negative influences out of her life.
She was able to hold Joshua in the courtroom during a recess and visit with her daughter, fiance and his family. Then Martinez was taken to jail. If she earns the maximum good time, she will have to serve three-quarters of the 18 months' incarceration.
Atkinson, 24, is serving three years for aiding, inducing or causing burglary, one year for possession of heroin and a three-year Madison County sentence in the Rockville Correctional Facility.
Larkin, 26, is serving eight Madison County sentences in the Indiana State Prison and is scheduled for an Oct. 9 trial in Superior II on two Level 2 felony burglary charges.
Smith, 27, is serving two Madison County sentences in the Plainfield Correctional Facility and has his Superior II trial scheduled for Sept. 25 on one Level 2 felony burglary charge.
Smoots, 25, has a Superior II trial scheduled for Dec. 4 on two Level 2 felony burglary charges and faces three open misdemeanor cases in Madison County.

The Wahlberg family came to prominence through their involvement in the entertainment world, especially music and film. Donnie is one of the Wahlberg's that earned a name for himself through various endeavors in both fields. As he became popular, people around him also became popular, including his now ex-wife, Kimberly Fey. The two were married from 1999 until 2010, though they filed for divorce in 2008.
Kimberly is a sound engineer, and earned fame through her relationship with Donnie Wahlberg, though she has worked on several projects that earned her fame on her own. However, she still remains best known to the world as the ex-wife of Donnie Wahlberg.
So, do you want to find out more about Kimberly, from her childhood to recent endeavors? If yes, then stay with us as we try to uncover for you the life and career of Kimberly Fey.
Where is Kimberly Fey Now?
The couple filed for divorce in 2008, and it was finalized in 2010; Fey sought custody for their two children, but since then there has been no news on this battle, although the assumption is that she was successful. Since the divorce, Fey has been away from the limelight and information about her life following the divorce remains unknown. All we have managed to discover is that Kimberly is living a single life, and is now working as a real estate agent at Century 21 Hilltop.
Kimberly Frey Wiki: Early Life, and Education
Unfortunately, Kimberly hasn't revealed much about her childhood, including her actual birth date – known to be in 1999 – and place, and names and vocation of her parents. Also, we don't know if she has any siblings or not, and where she went to school and which university she attended. Hopefully, information like this become available in the near future.
Kimberly Fey Career and Life
Kimberly is a sound engineer and musician, and it was through her career endeavors that she met Donnie Wahlberg, who was a member of the Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch band, for whom Kimberly did work on one of their albums. Soon after the meeting, the two started a romantic relationship which lasted until their separation in 2008. The two announced their relationship for the first time in 1991, and two years later,she gave birth to their first child, a son named Xavier Alexander. Six years later, Kimberly and Donnie married, and two years passed before they welcomed their second child, another son, named Elijah Hendrix. As their relationship continued, problems started to arise, and it all culminated in 2008 when Kimberly filed for divorce, alleging an affair between Donnie and Canadian model Michelle Tomlinson which, however, was never confirmed. The divorce process was finally over in 2010 and Kimberly sought sole custody over their children and child support, among other demands. There was no major drama with her demands, and she apparently got all that she wanted.
Kimberly Fey Net Worth
Although she hasn't been as successful as her husband, her own career endeavors increased her wealth to a large degree, while also the divorce settlement added to her wealth. So, have you ever wondered how rich Kimberly Fey is, as of early 2019? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Kimberly Fey's net worth is as high as $2 million, accumulated from her own career and divorce settlement.
Kimberly Fey Ex-Husband, Donnie Wahlberg

Career Beginnings and Rise to Prominence
Donnie is a successful musician and actor; he started his career in the mid- 80s by becoming a part of the boy band New Kids on the Block alongside Mark Wahlberg, his younger brother, who soon left the band, then Danny Wood and Jamie Kelly, who also left the band soon afterwards.

The band reunited in 2007 and since then have released three more albums, but nowhere as critically and commercially successful as their past releases. The band now consists of Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Danny Wood, and Joey McIntyre, alongside Donnie.
Donnie is also a successful actor, beginning in the mid- '90s, and since then has featured in over 50 films and TV series, perhaps best known to the world as Cubby Barnes in the film "Ransom" (1996), then as Eric Matthews in the "Saw" film franchise, and most recently as Danny Reagan in the TV drama series "Blue Bloods" (2010-2019), among many other roles.
Donnie Wahlberg Net Worth and Personal Life
Since launching his career, Donnie has become quite successful, and his net worth has increased to a large degree. So, have you ever wondered how rich Donnie Wahlberg is, as of early 2019? According to authoritative sources, Donnie's net worth is as high as $20 million.
When it comes to his personal life, Donnie has continued with his life following the divorce from Kimberly. He is now married to Jenny McCarthy; the couple tied the knot on the 31st August 2014 at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois.

Most people visiting Switzerland would never guess that the number one paid attraction is the Swiss Museum of Transport. Located an easy walk or bus ride from the city center, the first thing that you see is the amazing façade crammed full of automobile wheels by the hundreds. The museum showcases the history of transportation with planes, trains, locomotives and autos from different eras. There are more than 3,000 objects for viewing, many of which have interactive exhibits.
One of the buildings houses racing vehicles in a gigantic floor to ceiling display. Visitors can enter the one they wish to see into a display panel and a robotic system will grab the car and bring it right down to eye level for closer examination.
This is one of the most visited sites in the country and is also the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. Originally, the Chapel Bridge was constructed as part of the city's defense system. Today, it is a beautiful reminder of a history long since passed and one of the most photographed owing to the medieval paintings still visible under the eaves.
Located adjacent to the bridge is the old wasserturm or water tower. This monument has served as a prison, watchtower, torture chamber and treasury building. Part of the original city wall, the brick building is one of the most important historic landmarks in Lucerne.
Walking along the cobblestone streets you will want to bring your camera as many of the hotels and restaurants are festooned with colorful and ornate murals. Most of these tell stories about events or celebrations of the city and date from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Golden Round Trip should be on your must-do list if you visit Lucerne. Your one purchase price at the boat dock starts your journey which begins with a ferry ride across Lake Lucerne to the town of Alpnachstad.
From there you will take an unforgettable ride to the top of Mt. Pilatus on the world's steepest cogwheel railway. As the landscape shrinks below you, above will see majestic cliffs, local wildlife and an occasional colorful paraglider gently riding the winds towards the valley below.
Once at the summit, known as Pilatus Kulm, you can enjoy a meal or even spend the night at their mountaintop hotel with a great view of the moon and stars, on a clear night.
Your third part of the Golden Round Trip has you boarding an aerial gondola as you silently descend upon the spine of the mountains to the town of Kriens where a short bus ride brings you back to Lucerne.
The Swiss do a lot of things right, including knowing how to enchant visitors with their natural and man-made attractions. Your first visit to Lucerne will most certainly not be your last as there are many more local treasures to behold.
A quality city life, cultural and historical heritages, splendid architectures and mind blowing sceneries, Lucerne has it all. Lucerne surely one of the top places to visit in beautiful Switzerland. And The Swiss Museum of Transport is surely the number one attraction…. Lucerne is the place to have the most memorable train ride in life….
There are only a few places in the world that I've a soft spot for and Lucerne is one of them. Often as as kid, I would go camping with my parents at a farmer's camping about 15 minutes from Lucerne. We would either spend a few weeks of our summer holiday there or we stayed a few nights on our way to Italy, Slovenia or Croatia. Lucerne is such a great city with so much to do and the surrounding area is stunning.

Q: How can I display text content on the same page in JavaScript? I'm making a movie rating app so when you click the add button a form pops up. After the user has filled out the form I want the page to display the text values of the form, for example, if someone writes Lion King in the first field the page should display Movie Title: Lion King somewhere below the document but still on the same page. I've tried using the document.write method which tbh works fine but it's not good to use it and I want to display the values on the same page, not on a different page. I've also tried .innerHTML and it still isn't working but maybe I'm just doing something wrong with it. I'm not that advanced in JavaScript so please try to help me out.

The British Academy Film Awards are presented in an annual award show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). As of 2008, it has taken place in Central London at the Royal Opera House, the latter having taken over from the flagship Odeon cinema on Leicester Square. The 68th British Academy Film Awards were held on 8 February 2015.

British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) was founded in 1947 as The British Film Academy, by David Lean, Alexander Korda, Carol Reed, Charles Laughton, Roger Manvell and others. In 1958, the Academy merged with The Guild of Television Producers and Directors to form The Society of Film and Television, which eventually became The British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 1976.
BAFTA's stated charitable purpose is to "support, develop and promote the art forms of the moving image, by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners and benefiting the public". In addition to high profile awards ceremonies BAFTA runs a year-round programme of educational events including film screenings and tribute evenings. BAFTA is supported by a membership of about 6,000 people from the film, television and video game industries.
The Academy's awards are in the form of a theatrical mask designed by American sculptor Mitzi Cunliffe, which was commissioned by the Guild of Television Producers in 1955.

Why Android developers should pay attention to React Native in 2021
Codemagic builds and tests your app after every commit, notifies selected team members and releases to the end user. Automatically.Get started
Written by Sneh Pandya
Android is a large ecosystem rather than just another mobile operating system. Since its initial release in September 2008, Android has been receiving major improvements with every new release. So then, why do you need to pay attention to newly emerged cross-platform frameworks?
Android comes with a plethora of features, customization and great performance. Yet, it is difficult to maintain a mammoth codebase for Android and iOS separately. This problem is solved with frameworks like React Native.
What is React Native?
React Native is a cross-platform mobile app development framework that lets you create truly native apps and doesn't compromise your users' experiences. The best thing? It is built on JavaScript! As quoted by the official team:
React Native combines the best parts of native development with React, a best-in-class JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
React Native has witnessed consistently growing popularity since its inception in 2015. It also unlocks opportunities for web developers. The platform resolves the major challenge of separately maintaining a codebase for Android and iOS - hence, it allows you to maintain a single codebase for your mobile apps!
React Native has lightweight components, and a huge number of enterprises have started using the framework to develop and ship their mobile apps, including Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Skype, Discord, Tesla, Pinterest, Call of Duty, Salesforce, Bloomberg and many, many more.
Whether you are an Android developer, an iOS developer or a web developer, React Native has robust documentation and an outstanding community to help you get started and build beautiful apps.
Build, test and deliver React Native apps in record time
What are React Native's top alternatives?
The biggest competitors in the landscape are Google's Flutter and native Android itself. However, there are many others worth mentioning, including Ionic, Cordova, Xamarin and more.
Surprisingly, each of these frameworks is built on one or more software programming languages or frameworks that the developer ecosystem has been familiar with for the past decade or more.
Xamarin is built on the legendary .NET framework from Microsoft.
Cordova by Apache is built on HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Ionic was initially built on top of AngularJS and Apache Cordova.
React Native, on the other hand, is built on top of React, the core framework. Despite the early rise of the above frameworks for cross-platform development, React Native rapidly caught the attention of developers, and its adoption has been growing ever since.
As React Native's biggest competitor, only Flutter stands strong in the ongoing battle for the cross-platform mobile app development space.
Similarities and differences
The most important factor in mobile application development is scalability and performance for any userbase size. The biggest advantage React Native offers is a cross-platform experience that boils down to native components of Android and iOS when the application is running! This means that even with a codebase written in JavaScript, native components are rendered and triggered to handle interaction and, thus, memory footprint, versatility and experience remain intact.
Moreover, it supercharges web developers and allows them to deep dive into and develop mobile apps without much hassle since web developers already have a strong command over JavaScript.
Today, React Native is supercharged with robust underlying components, resulting in a seamless experience for end users. You aren't able to tell whether an app is made in native Android, Flutter or React Native just by looking at your mobile screen.
eBook that every React Native developer should have
React Native vs Flutter: similarities
Some of the similarities React Native has with major frameworks like Flutter include the following:
Both are open source: React Native/Flutter.
Both are backed by long-time rivalries, i.e., Facebook and Google, respectively.
Both are free of cost and have a huge fan following.
Both offer an excellent native experience, improved performance and constant updates.
Both have robust documentation.
React Native vs Flutter: differences
On the other hand, there are some major differences as well:
Flutter uses Dart, whereas React Native uses JavaScript.
Flutter provides a set of widgets that can be customized for rich experiences. On the other hand, React Native focuses on creating seamless user experiences by directly invoking native components.
Flutter and React Native both promise a faster time to market for mobile apps, yet the speed of each depends on what use cases you are focusing on developing. Flutter helps you build widgets fast, while React Native helps you to quickly build apps with native components.
React Native already has a more solid community presence and greater support from web developers than Flutter Web. The transition from web development to mobile development is also made easier with React Native compared to Flutter Web. Flutter, on the other hand, is still catching up with its beta release of Flutter Web.
Flutter is supported by Android Studio, IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code at present. React Native is well supported by almost all leading IDEs.
The main advantage and deciding factor for choosing React Native is its compatibility with React components. Web and mobile developers choose React and React Native over any other cross-platform frameworks when they decide to ship similar experiences by maintaining a codebase that can be used by both React and React Native. This is the true power with which developers can ship entire full-stack and mobile apps with a great number of similarities between the web and mobile experience.
Performance and stability of React Native apps
Native mobile application development comes with its own disadvantages in terms of development time, effort and overall cost. React Native is popular in mobile app development, and the number of modern applications created using cross-platform frameworks is increasing every day.
React Native is trying to achieve a native look and feel by making use of the Android SDK components provided but at the cost of utilizing platform resources since the JavaScript-Native bridge is the core.
The stability of the app is maintained with the use of native components on respective mobile platforms, and the performance of the app is also maintained.
Popularity of React Native
React Native has over 92,000 stars on GitHub as of December 2020. The developer community plays a huge role in its success. Various contributors are contributing to the core framework and building beautiful components and libraries. One of the most popular among these is the awesome-react-native repository on GitHub, which contains React Native components, news, tools, learning material and more.
Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery for React Native apps
Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) help developers publish code changes reliably and rapidly. A number of platforms exist today that support CI/CD for React Native.
Well-known CI/CD solutions include Codemagic, Jenkins and CircleCI. All of them provide reliable CI/CD solutions with good tooling, customer support and documentation. Codemagic was initially introduced as the first and dedicated CI/CD solution for Flutter only, but it now also supports React Native apps using codemagic.yaml.
You can check out this guide, which helps you to set up both CI and CD for React Native on Codemagic.
How to build React Native apps on Codemagic
Key factors of React Native
Let's look at the key factors that make React Native a robust and increasingly popular cross-platform framework that is a favorite within the developer community!
React Native has native code compatibility
React Native is based on the fact that apps developed with it function just like native apps. Developers have realized that the popularity of React Native lies in its behavior, accelerations, usability and animations, with components like keyboard, UI screen and more. It delivers flawless performance with native components, ensuring the seamless operation of most apps and outperforming native apps in more cases than ever before. Along with JavaScript, React Native is a framework that helps you develop the most robust apps.
Reduced development cycle
React Native enables you to build mobile apps much faster. With the support of a huge community in recent years, the open-source project offers many components that can be used locally. As a result, app developers can experience a 40% shorter development time. Also, React Native covers both Android and iOS, providing the ease of shared data and a single codebase for both these platforms.
Better user interface
Whether you are a developer or a business leader, focusing on the user experience is a must. If the interface of your app fails to deliver an outstanding experience to the users, your efforts turn out to be futile. Reputed app developers, like Call of Duty, Instagram and Shopify, integrate the React Native framework to develop a compelling interface. With an enriching interface, users are sure to find more value in your apps.
In 2021, React Native's diverse capabilities will be shaping the future of mobile apps. Beginner-friendly integration, reduced development time and cost, less maintenance and offline support are just a few of its benefits worth mentioning. React Native is set to be a major part of the future of mobile app development.
Robust compatibility with apps and platforms
Initially, React Native was introduced for iOS. Facebook realized its amazing features and capabilities and added support for Android as well. Most of the APIs in React Native are cross-platform. This empowers developers to build both Android and iOS apps using a single codebase simultaneously. Moreover, providing platform-specific compatibility and experience to the app is also possible.
Live updates have been a boon for developers ever since they were introduced. They involve extensive integration of JavaScript, which allows developers to push only the necessary updates to the app, even while developing the apps. This reduces development time drastically and also eliminates the need for app store updates. This way, the end users always interact with the latest version of the app without having to think about incompatibility with older versions. The overall experience becomes simple and streamlined with the React Native framework.
As someone with a keen interest in mobile experience and who has developed a variety of apps with native Android, native iOS, Flutter and React Native, my personal favorite top picks in terms of trends for React Native adoption in 2021 are as follows:
Increased web development interest
Community support and popularity, including for JavaScript
Native-rich experience
Seamless web and app coupling
Versatility and ease of development
The mobile app development space has picked up the pace once again with constantly improving cross-platform frameworks like React Native. Sooner or later, these platforms will replace the need for native development from scratch. In the future, we might only need native platforms for extremely small numbers of operations and use cases.
Whether React Native will replace native Android, only time will tell. Yet, it surely holds a bright future. Even if it fails to replace native app development, it is enabling millions of web developers to develop mobile apps without the need for a challenging domain shift across the world.
