Apple Fixes iPhone 8 Crackling Issue Via Latest Update: How To Check If You're Affected
Carl Velasco, Tech Times 04 October 2017, 12:10 pm
Apple has now officially released iOS 11.0.2, which fixes the iPhone 8's crackling audio issue that was discovered last week.
Apple is still not clear on exactly what might have caused the mishap, but it acknowledged last week that the problem affected a "small number" of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus owners. Affected users speculated that it was a software issue, which now seems to be the case.
The issue caused several iPhones to emit a high-pitched crackling noise via the earpiece. It wasn't too bothersome, as The Verge notes, but still pretty annoying. The earpiece seemed to work properly under normal circumstances, though, even on affected units.
Is Your iPhone 8 Having Audio Crackling Issues?
It's best to update to the latest software update now because in addition to the audio fix, Apple has also added a couple of improvements. Per the release notes, the company says it has fixed "an issue that could cause some photos to be hidden" and "an issue where attachments in S/MIME encrypted emails would not open."
For those who have not updated yet and would like to check if their iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus is affected, simply place a call and try to wait for high-pitched noises to start coming out of the earpiece during the entire conversation. If no such sounds appear, then good. But if they do, update to the latest software immediately.
Another Antennagate?
If the patch does fix the issue, then that's a relief because a lot of users were worried that it could be a hardware defect. Hopefully, this isn't another iPhone 4 "antennagate" situation.
No phone is ever perfect, of course. Even the excellent Google Pixel was found to have speaker distortions, which have since been fixed via a software patch. Still, people are paying around $700 to $800 and perhaps even more for these phones. Expecting them to have no problems whatsoever is just fair, right?
The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus was announced back in September as two of Apple's slightly significant upgrades to last year's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. If those two options just aren't cutting it, though, there's also a brand-new iPhone X with a controversial bezel-less design, but it won't ship until November.
Are you experiencing audio crackling issues on your iPhone 8? Have you installed the newest software update and checked if the issues still persist? As always, feel free to sound off in the comments section below!

In ancient times the natural remedies and in particular the medicinal herbs, represented the only tool to cure and cure the ailments of man.
With the advent of the drug, the use and consideration of medicinal herbs, has gradually diminished, until it disappears almost completely. Most people and the same medical class, consider natural preparations, such as decoctions and herbal infusions, of the mild remedies, useful to improve sleep and digestion.
In reality, their effectiveness depends very much on their use and on the quality of the raw material .
Medicinal herbs, if grown, harvested, dried and taken in the right way, can be extremely effective to treat a myriad of diseases, sometimes very serious.
But the first thing you need to understand and put in your mind is that herbs do not work like allopathic drugs .
The drugs contain active ingredients in concentrated and isolated form , extracted from animal or plant life (for example aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, active ingredient extracted from the white willow bark), or produced directly in the laboratory and therefore totally synthetic.
The drug generally acts very quickly on the symptom, bringing rapid relief (think of the same aspirin, or cortisone). However they do not cure the cause that generated the symptom and over time they can lose effectiveness. In addition, all drugs have contraindications and if taken for a prolonged time may cause side effects sometimes very serious, especially to the liver.
Herbs, however, in their natural form, even if in lower concentration, contain a whole series of active ingredients that work in synergy, compensating, reinforcing and moderating what could present aggressive if used in isolation.
For this reason the plants, taken in the form of herbal tea, are not aggressive and present almost zero risks compared to drugs, except in cases of established allergy. At the same time, thanks to the synergy of active ingredients, medicinal plants act slowly, but more effectively and deeper than the drug .
The teas can be prepared with a single herb, or with a combination of them .
There are different types of herbal teas depending on the extraction method used to extract the active ingredients of the plant.
Generally it is used for all drugs (a term that indicates the part of the plant with a phytotherapeutic activity) rich in volatile aromatic components and active ingredients that degrade due to the action of water and heat. Generally these are delicate parts of the plant such as flowers, buds and leaves. This type of preparation is obtained by pouring boiling water on the shredded drug and letting it rest for 5-10 minutes, then filter.
It is a preparation used to extract the active ingredients from the hardest parts of a plant: roots, seeds, bark or wood. The decoction is obtained by throwing the chopped drug in boiling water and continuing the boiling for about 5 - 15 minutes; it is then filtered and consumed.
The maceration is obtained by letting the mixture or the drug rest in cold in a solvent suitable for the purpose (usually water, wine or other) for a time that varies according to the active principle that needs to be extracted.
Make sure that the product you are using has been grown naturally, without the use of chemicals and possibly in an uncontaminated place (eg near landfills, highways, or industrial centers). The quality also depends on the harvesting period, which must respect the balsamic time of the plant and the type of drying, which should be done in the shade in ventilated areas and without using ovens, or radiators, which could damage or destroy most of the active ingredients of the plant.
Unlike medications, herbal teas need time to act. Sometimes we talk about weeks, but for quite serious problems it can take months too. It is therefore important to be constant in taking the herbal tea, also by getting some patience.
The teas contain low doses of active ingredients, so they must be taken in good quantity. As Maria Treben teaches us , a great herbalist of the '900 and author of the book "Health from the pharmacy of the Lord" (book that I strongly recommend you read!), So that they take effect, the infusions should be taken with constancy and a minimum dosage of at least 2 cups a day, up to a maximum of 4 cups, equal to about 1 liter. Obviously the quantity to be taken can vary according to the type of grass used and according to the severity of the problem. Generally for more serious problems it is necessary to increase the dosages.
The best way to take herbal teas is to prepare them at the moment and drink them warm or lukewarm .
And if I'm almost never home?
In the morning, before leaving for work, prepare a liter of herbal tea and when ready, pour it into a fairly large thermos . You can take the thermos with you and sip herbal tea at any time of the day.
As I have already explained, medicinal herbs contain a set of active ingredients and substances called "phytocomplex".
The type of substances contained in the plant make it more or less suitable for the treatment of certain diseases, even if there are plants, such as Aloe, whose action is broad spectrum and can effectively treat a very high number of diseases.
THE BIANCOSPINO: A friendly plant of the Heart .
Hawthorn flowers and leaves are used, which contain oligomeric procyanidins, quercetin, flavonoids and plant sterols. This set of substances make it a powerful natural cardioprotector. Hawthorn helps to regulate heart beats, reduces blood pressure, protects blood vessels. For this reason it is one of the most used herbal remedies to treat cardiovascular problems.
The milk thistle is a relative of the artichoke and this plant is used mainly the seeds. These contain various active ingredients, but most of all silymarin stands out, a set of three substances (silibine, silidianin and silicristina) with marked hepatoprotective action. Silymarin accelerates the regeneration of liver cells and protects the liver from toxic substances. For this reason the milk thistle is used in the treatment of all diseases that affect the liver.
Epilobium and in particular epilobium parviflorum, contains substances such as enotenin A, enotein B and dimeric-macrocyclic ellagitannin which have been shown to reduce proliferation of prostate cells and related inflammation. For this reason, the herbal tea of epilobium is used mainly for the treatment of prostate disorders.
Mallow flowers and leaves are used, which contain substances called "mucilage". These are polysaccharides that in contact with water form a sort of viscous gel with protective and anti-inflammatory action against the mucous membranes. Due to the presence of these substances, the mallow tea is very suitable for those suffering from diseases of the stomach (gastritis, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux) and of the intestine (colitis, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and crohn's disease).
I have done just a few examples to make you understand that each plant has its therapeutic virtues and that it is important to be well informed before choosing one, rather than the other. Often they can also be used in combination, combining plants with similar action.
Then there are plants that act on a wide spectrum on various parts of the body, or as in the case of Aloe, on the whole organism.
This is the case, for example, of the Gynostemma pentaphyllum (the climbing plant you see in the picture), a plant with adaptogenic properties of oriental tradition that our farm grows here in Fermo. The herbal tea, which is obtained by letting the Gynostemma leaves infuse, acts by reducing the inflammation levels of the whole organism, enhancing the activity of the immune system and regulating blood values such as blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.
And how not to mention the Melissa officinalis , a plant that acts at the same time on the stomach, intestine and nervous system, improving digestion, relieving abdominal pain and reducing our anxieties and our nervousness.
Or the Meliloto officinalis , which contains coumarins and is considered a natural blood thinner, very useful for improving blood circulation. At the same time it is also an excellent digestive and like Melissa, this plant also has relaxing properties on the nervous system.
Of similar examples I could do many others, but I stop so as not to bore you.
Officinal herbs of the Garden of the Lord.
You can easily find them in the bookstore, or on Amazon.

Obituary of Jose Rodrigues
Jose Simoes Rodrigues, age 87, of Monroe, beloved husband of Adelaide Gomes Rodrigues, passed away in the comfort of his home on Friday, January 7, 2022 surrounded by his loving family. Born on September 27, 1934 in Pedrario, Portugal, he was a son of the late Joao Rodrigues and Alzira Simoes Rodrigues.
A member of the Portuguese military, Jose immigrated to the United States in 1960, settling in Bridgeport. He was a member of the Laborers Union and was formerly employed by Hi Ho D'Addario. He was a lifetime member of the Vasco Da Gama Club, where he served as a former President and Vice President. He also enjoyed the camaraderie at the club, loved to watch his favorite soccer team F.C. Porto and his favorite baseball team The New York Yankees. He could often be found tending to his garden and his love of masonry work building stonewalls which surrounded the property. Jose's specialty was making his yearly wine with his son and son in laws.
A true family man, he loved his Portuguese heritage and captivated everyone with his detailed stories of growing up in Portugal. He continually instilled the traditions of their heritage to his children and grandchildren. He was a very strong and good-hearted man who would do anything for anyone in need. Above all, there was nothing more important in life to him than his roles as a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Family was always his number one priority, the unconditional love he gave and the values he taught will forever live in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
In addition to his beloved wife of 60 years, Adelaide, survivors include his three loving children, Celeste Puglisi and her husband John, John Rodrigues and Grace Singleton and her husband George all residing in Monroe, six cherished grandchildren, Johnny, Ashley, Niki, Lexi, Gianna and Jonanthan, six adored great grandchildren, Cruz, Luke, Kaia, Leyana, August and Audrianna, two sisters, Celeste Esteves and Berta Chapman; two brothers, Albino Rodrigues, and Alberto Rodrigues; as well as several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by a sister, Carminda Pereira, and brothers, Delfin Rodrigues, Mario Simoes and João "Cheech" Rodrigues.

These various alternate networks offer unique types of traffic and opportunities. For example, despite Bing having significantly less search volume than Google, their users typically spend more – while you'll often pay a lot less per click. You get to be a bigger fish in smaller pond!
You can also use different channels to communicate to potential customers with fresh angles. Such as with Facebook, which is brilliant at gaining exposure for new concepts and brands via their engaging newsfeed posts. You could then use AdRoll to retarget those people with sidebar ads directly on Facebook – a network that Google Remarketing does not have access to.
All in all, it's so valuable having diversified traffic acquisition channels. If a single network ever went down, or competition became too fierce, you're already a step ahead of your competition!

Was the NBER Correct on RMBS/CMBS Ratings?
(1) Using PIMCO/Blackrock methodology for RMBS/CMBS ratings resulted in a huge decrease in required risk capital (over $15B less as an industry, including $3B combined for Met and TIAA).
(2) This new system only considers current (expected) losses and does not provide any buffer for future losses.
Well, I guess this new system did exactly what it was designed to do.
And, let's not forget that although that capital savings may look like a regulatory giveaway to, primarily, the largest insurers (and a proportionately larger giveaway to the usually lesser capitalized largest life insurers), there is another factor to consider. In order to reduce the carrying value of a security, the insurer must run a charge through its statutory capital directly (in the case of P/C companies) or indirectly (through the Asset Valuation Reserve). So, to some extent capital was already impaired so there should be some reduction in required capital (no double counting).
Of course, some insurers may be gaming the system by writing down a security only to the highest price that would provide the desired NAIC rating (this may very well be quite true in a few cases). And, some insurers may be gaming the system by perhaps using some excess AVR reserves to cushion those write downs.
As for the second point, once again the new system did what it was designed to do. It was designed to include the impact of losses expected today (and it is updated annually). However, I do not believe it was designed to provide a buffer for future unexpected losses. That, of course, is the idea behind annual updating. As better information is obtained, models are revised, recalibrated and recalculated. It is as simple as that.
However, I must congratulate the researches at the NBER. They are tackling a rather controversial topic. Not because it relates to a minority of holdings at insurers; and not because it tackles one of the requirements of Dodd-Frank legislation (to find a better alternative to NRSRO ratings). It is because as NRSRO ratings continue to be pummeled in both legislative and other corners, the insurance regulators at the NAIC may move toward assigning NAIC ratings based upon the pricing of, for example, corporate bonds in the future. After all, why should the same bond rated 'A' by the NRSRO's but held at 85 (when rates were high) by one insurer have the same severity of loss as one held at 105 (when rates were low)?
Makes one want to reconsider what the true credit risks are on an insurer's books – from the perspective of the regulators, rating agencies, financial analysts, actuaries and even the insurers themselves.


In her first day riding under the newly-renamed ORICA-AIS, Linda Villumsen delivered a second place finish in Italy. Villumsen sprinted to second on the opening stage of Giro del Trentino from a group of eight riders that had formed on the two circuit laps that made up the bulk of the race. Noemi Cantele (Be Pink) took the stage win.
ORICA-AIS had intended to make an aggressive race from the start. McPartland anticipated using his riders to attack on the early climbs to split the race.
Judith Arndt and Claudia Häusler joined Villumsen in a front group of 18 riders. The elite group entered the two circuit laps together.
As Villumsen's group solidified their lead, Alexis Rhodes bridged across to the second group.
The move stuck, and the eight rider front group entered the finish circuit together with 22 kilometers left to race.
Despite Pooley's attempt to get away, the eight would contest the finish amongst themselves.
Without time bonuses on the line, Villumsen is tied on time with the race leader. Tomorrow's double day with a short road stage in the morning and an afternoon time trial will determine the race winner.

Q: Background color only filling h2 element not its entire div container I have the following div and h2 element below. I'm trying to fill the entire div with a blue color, but instead of filling the entire container2 class like I expect it only fills the h2 section. Why is it doing this and how can I fill the entire container2 section (which has some margin and padding outside the area of the h2?

    h2 {
      color: white;
      font-size: 35px;
      font-weight: 500;
    }

    .container2 {

      margin-top: 40px;

    }

WorkWave provides intuitive cloud-based field service & fleet management solutions that help organizations with a mobile workforce transform their business.

A: Just add the next style code into your stylesheet:
.container2 > h2 {
  background-color: #0f2c4d;
}

Your way does not work, because you set BG-color only for parent element container2, instead of using the inheriting and  for h2 elem.
Run the code:

    h2 {
      color: white;
      font-size: 35px;
      font-weight: 500;
    }

    .container2 {

Pride and Cannabis is a new interview project by AskGrowers dedicated to Pride Month
AskGrowers interviewed the cannabis brand owners about the impact of the cannabis industry on the LGBTQ+ community and how they support the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride and Cannabis
June marks the start of Pride Month to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, which many historians consider to be the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ movement. The cannabis industry owes a great debt of gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community, which was instrumental in getting some of the first medical marijuana legislation passed in the U.S.
AskGrowers celebrates our 100th interview with Buck Angel, transgender activist and cannabis entrepreneur, as part of Pride and Cannabis. In addition to Angel, AskGrowers profiles Alexander Corwin of Stone Road and Brandon Dorsky of Fruit Slabs and interview updates with Robert Miller of Purefectionery and Kim Geraghty of Madame Munchie.
We want to connect you with the interviewees of our Grower Stories and ways you can support members of the cannabis community.
Buck Angel
Human Rights Activist,
Plant Medicine Activist,
Buck Angel is a trans activist, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and pioneering filmmaker. He is also AskGrowers's 100th Growers Story! His message of empowerment through self-acceptance and the mission to encourage everyone to be comfortable in their own skin has struck an emotional chord with people worldwide.
AskGrowers had the honor of interviewing Buck, and we discussed everything from Gay Weed and cannabis medicinal effects to the future of the industry. #growerstories
How did you get into cannabis?
I have very bad insomnia and was using sleeping pills. They were not really making me feel healthy, and so a friend said, " Try cannabis it works wonders! So I tried it and it changed my life. I wake up happy, not hungover. From there, I realized that there was no one really focusing on LGBTQ+ cannabis and so with a friend we started Pride Wellness. It is a brand focused on LGBTQ+ natural health and wellness.
Tell us about your give-back program for the LGBTQ+ Center in Los Angeles?
During the time of PW, we would give back a dollar from each product sold. We give to the LGBTQ+ senior center in Los Angeles every year. It was amazing to see the money used to help homeless seniors as well as help to house and feed. Giving back is a big part of my message.
The LGBTQ+ community, specifically gay men and the HIV/AIDS crisis, are why we have legal cannabis today. What do you think we can do to see a more significant LGBTQ+ representation in the cannabis community?
YES! This is true, and I was alive and lost many friends during this time. It is why LGBTQ+ space is important in our industry. Gay men legalized cannabis. Gay men died, and today, that should be a big part of the conversation. I use my platform to educate, especially the younger generation who might not have a clue as to why gay weed matters.
In an older interview, you discussed doing research on how cannabis can help the transgender community. What have you learned?
Anxiety, depression and drug usage are high in my community. It is rough living trans, and so many use drugs to not have to deal. Cannabis is not a drug, it is a medication, and more and more trans people are getting it. The more we educate, the more the stigma goes away. #growerstories
Brandon Dorsky
CEO of
Fruit Slab are California's first kosher-certified and vegan cannabis edible. Created by food-sensitive cannabis enthusiasts, Fruit Slabs are also Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Plant-Based friendly.
AskGrowers sat down again with CEO Brandon Dorsky about the latest with Fruit Slabs and Pride. You can read his original interview here. #growerstories
How are you and Fruit Slabs planning to celebrate Pride? Have you done any special LGBTQ+ sponsorships or promotions?
We sponsored the LGBTQ+ Budtender of the Year Award at the G4Live Budtender Awards last month. We awarded Rocky Hernandez and Adam Fleisher with awards for being top budtenders. We also have some LGTBQ+ positive prizes and gifts to give away to fans of Fruit Slabs that show their support for Fruit Slabs on social media.
From a support standpoint, there could be efforts to lobby for revenue from cannabis taxes to be directed towards organizations that provide support for the gay community. With respect to representation in ownership, there could be efforts to include LGBTQ+ identification as a factor in consideration for social equity applications. From a structural inclusiveness standpoint, the industry could lobby for employment initiatives that include having LGBTQ+ employees be a certain portion of the workforce.
Tell us more about your limited run collaboration with La Ganja Estranja. What product did you work on together?
La Ganja Estranja worked on a collaborative single-serve passion-fruit flavored THC Fruit Slab with us. We released it in 2019 to coincide with Pride Month. We thought it was an amazing flavor. We discussed doing other things together, and hope to bring back the flavor or do some other collaboration with La Ganja in the future.
Owner & CEO of
Based in Portland, Purefectionery uses the highest-quality, natural ingredients to craft some of the most delicious edibles on the market. Owner Robert Miller, Purefectionery's founder, does all the research and taste-testing. He has been active in the food industry for more than two decades, and he now brings together cuisine and cannabis. We sat down again recently with him to catch up on the latest at Purefectionery. #growerstories
The LGBTQ+ community, specifically gay men and the HIV/AIDS crisis, are why we have legal cannabis today. What do you think we can do to see a more significant representation in the cannabis community of LGBTQ+?
That's a hard one for sure for multiple reasons. As a gay-owned business, I would love to have more LGBTQ+ people in our industry. I feel like an island in the sea of "bros". That, in and of itself, is part of the problem I feel. There is such a "bro culture" in the industry and if you don't fit that, most people won't give you the time of day. Myself, as a medical patient and daily user, primarily only use after work or weekends. There are a lot of professional gay men that I know that are the same. That creates some issues in some dispensaries I've been in as I don't have enough street cred because I dress nice and am not high when I go into their businesses. (that may sound like a stereotype but it's true) I also think that if you look at how gay men have been treated by their straight counterparts and then you add the way I see some people treat their gay customers, it's not encouraging for them to either shop often or even consider entering the industry. I personally only became a processor out of pure personal necessity. The industry as a whole lacks women as well as LGBTQ+ people, and it's going to take a cultural shift to see any kind of real change. I can only think of 2 gay men I have met in our industry. One works as a budtender and the other works for Green Force, the cannabis processor temp agency, so that's where I see things.
How are you and Purefectionery going to celebrate Pride?
I am not really sure right now due to Covid-19. The Pride Parade is virtual this year, so I may watch it with my husband. More than likely, we will start the day with some incredible brunch/food along with our 'breakfast wine/bubbles", watch the virtual Pride Parade and spend the day with our 2 Golden Retrievers competing for our love, or vice versa. It is still important to recognize how far we have come as a nation yet not forget how far we still need to go. I am a gay person of color and after this last year, it has really shown me we are not as evolved as I had hoped for. Celebrating the life I share with my husband is one of the greatest Pride gifts for me.
Kim Geraghty
CEO and Founder of
Growing up in France, Madame Munchie founder Kim Geraghty fell in love with French baking. She combines centuries-old French traditions with California cannabis to create unique award-winning edibles. AskGrowers catches up with Kim about everything from Pride to new edibles. You can read her original interview here. #growerstories
How does Madame Munchie plan to celebrate Pride month? Do you have any special initiatives planned? Are you doing any special edition rainbow Macarons?
To celebrate pride this year, we are having a pride party for the Madame Munchie staff and friends with queer stand-up comedians. Madame Munchie will also be part of the LA Weekly pride box with our Cookie Monster macarons.
I think LGBTQ+ people and allies just need to continue stepping up and have already done a fantastic job. Change is happening. It's amazing to live in a part of the planet where we can be celebrated and have equal rights. It's also important to know the history of legal cannabis, for example, Dennis Peron's legacy, and honor those who came before us and made it all possible. #growerstories
Alex Corwin
CEO & Founder of
Stone Road was founded with the conviction that cannabis is one of the planet's great natural gifts to humans and that all people should have access to the best of it. The company is the first brand to launch its own rewards application and owns and operates a family-run biodynamic farm on the top of a hill in Nevada City, CA.
AskGrowers catches up with Stone Road CEO Alex Corwin about Pride, COVID-19 and new products. You can read our first interview with Alex here. #growerstories
How are you and Stone Road planning to celebrate Pride? Rainbow joints?
We are donating 10% of profits to a great non profit called the LGBTQ+ freedom fund which works for the release of wrongly imprisoned queer people.
Support companies that employ queer people and support the community.

Q: Accessing Certificate and Key from AWS secrets manager to be used in Gunicorn configuration I have store a ssl cert file and key file in AWS secrets manager.
I need to use those files for running gunicorn in HTTPS mode using following commnand:
gunicorn --certfile=server.crt --keyfile=server.key test:app
How can I access this?

A: If this is a certificate issued by AWS ACM, then you can't export the private key so you won't be able to use it like this. If this is a certificate issued by some other service that you have imported into AWS ACM, then you can get the key files with the aws acm export-certificate AWS CLI command.
You would have to run the AWS CLI command to export the certificate, then run the openssl command also detailed in the documentation I linked to decrypt the private key, and save all that to the file system before running your gunicorn command.

YUMA, Ariz. – Desert Sun Stadium was once used by the San Diego Padres for training. Now, a new era of sports games could soon begin. The company making all this happen – OneGoal LLC. wants to bring both a men's and women's league to Yuma this May.
The field IS now fully converted to support soccer games. Yuma City Council must now approve a contract with OneGoal LLC., the company looking to put the underutilized facility to use.
Dave Nash with the city of Yuma says OneGoal has already put down a 5,000 dollar deposit and paid to replace the stadium's turf.
"They're gonna be using that roughly between the hours of six and ten p.m. It's a 1000 dollars for a four hour rental. They'll rent that facility by the hour," Nash explained.
Chris Wheeler co-owns three bars in Downtown Yuma and says semi-professional soccer would draw more out of town visitors to the area.
"Soccer's big in border towns – good for Yuma. Absolutely, it's good for Yuma, so make use of it," Wheeler said.
The 2015 season would begin in May for both leagues set to play at Desert Sun. Wheeler says that's good news to local businesses who see a slower stream of customers during the summer.
Local schools' athletic departments could benefit too. Nash says the field would be available for use by other teams outside of the semi-pro leagues.
"That facility will yes indeed be open for other groups who might want to play soccer in that stadium," Nash added.
Everyone will get the opportunity to check out the new converted field this Friday and Saturday. Weekend at the Oasis is being held at Desert Sun and the surrounding stadiums.

Professor Parking Irks Some
Parker Abate, Reporter
Students say they wonder why faculty members are able to park in student-designated white spaces, while students are unable to park in faculty-designated yellow spots in the university lots.
"I think the problem we have is that people do not have parking passes and their vehicles aren't registered so when students who are registered go to look for spots they are all taken except for yellow spots, which are supposed to be reserved for faculty," said sophomore medical science major Matthew Beck.
Senior English pre-law major Kaitlin Hall believes there are not enough parking spots. "I think the problem is because more students have cars [than there are spots]. Hall said it seems as if there is very little available parking.
Hall said all spaces should be white. "That way there won't be an issue over what parking space you can be in or not, and rather just park wherever there is an available spot," explained Hall.
Hall also believes that students who do not need cars, and students who fail to buy parking passes, should not be allowed to park on campus.
"I think that certain students who truly do not need cars on campus should not be able to have a parking permit. Another issue is that students with cars that are not registered should not be able to continuously park in the lots, since there are many students that pay for the permit to park," said Hall.
Beck thinks the answer to the parking woes is to make more parking available.
"I think it would fix part of the problem. We ultimately need more parking on campus, preferably near the sport fields so when we have games we can funnel fans there because they take up space for students to park.
Communications Professor James May believes students are parking in the faculty parking spots, which causes faculty to park in the student spots.
"It's pure laziness that [students] don't want to walk. They're late for class, I don't know, but there are three rows of yellow parking that are marked out for that [in front of the Science Building], and two rows right behind Banks," said May.
May thinks the parking system should remain the same. "I think it should stay the way it is, but I think that students don't need to park in the yellow spaces.
Beck admitted to occasionally parking in yellow spaces, but he explained that it is because all the white spaces are filled.
"If we are late for class or need to be somewhere, we need a spot. If the yellow spots are the only spot left then we need to park there so we can attend class. We don't park there to spite faculty. It is because it is the only spot left for us to take," said Beck.
It is hardest to find parking around lunchtime, he said.
Beck, who lives in the townhouses, drives to Banks when it rains. "I will drive up to lunch. It is almost impossible to find a white parking spot. I have seen faculty not use yellow spots, and pull into the few white spots that are left. On days like this, I will park in the yellow spots because I know a faculty member took a spot I could've parked in so I'll take their spot in the yellow lines, and if I get a ticket I'll argue it," said Beck.
May referred to a gentleman who once worked for Campus Safety who would walk around each day and check to make sure students were parking in the correct spaces, and had parking passes. "He routinely patrolled the parking lots and cited cars that were parked improperly," said May.
He also believes the school needs a new way to demonstrate vehicle registration. "I think they need to come up with a better marker for the staff vehicles, a better system of identifying vehicles," May said.
Designated parking is an issue at Passan Hall as well.
Occupational therapy major Kristen Byrne knows the struggle.
"Health Science majors are the most popular at Misericordia. With that being said, the parking at Passan, the health science building, is very limited. There are multiple classes with many students in each one. It does not make sense that there is little to no parking at Passan when there are so many students there at one time," said Byrne.
Byrne and her friends have had to deal with a lack of parking at Passan Hall. "The best option that my friends and I do is car-pooling. This is the only way to find parking at Passan," said Byrne.
Byrne said she sees Safety officers ticketing cars at Passan. "I see many students parking in yellow spots, and receiving tickets, when there are no white spots open," she said.
The answer to this problem is painting all of the parking spaces white, Byrne said. "Yes, this could solve the problem because often there are less professors than students in a building at a time. This ratio means that there should be less parking for the professors and more for the students. Painting them all white could help eliminate the problem of having open yellow, but no white spots," Byrne explained.
Junior Communications major Sean Lynch was straightforward with his opinion.
"Students are better off parking in one of the cemeteries than trying to find a spot on campus in the middle of the afternoon," he said.

Private UAE Universities roll out VAT
Private universities in the UAE are subject to 5% Value Added Tax. Apart from the tuition fees, the tax is applicable on books and other services.
By Veathika
Do your children attend a UAE school? Take our survey and help other parents.
WhichSchoolAdvisor's annual school survey.
Universities in the UAE are now just that little bit more expensive an option, with private institutions in the country rolling out, smoothly according to media reports, Value Added Tax (VAT).
VAT was introduced in the UAE on January 1, 2018 and while school education is exempt for tax, higher education is not.
Private universities have been charging the 5% tax, and have reported no hurdles so far.
Professor Abdullah Al Shamsi vice-chancellor of The British University in Dubai (BUiD), told Gulf News that there had been "no issues" in the levying of VAT at the postgraduate establishment.
"The students were fully aware of VAT and they have accepted to pay it, which is a very straightforward and simple process."
Most universities have clarified and posted VAT related announcements on their websites.
Manish Chetwani, head of finance at Curtin University Dubai said that they notified students well in advance so that there was no misunderstanding or misinformation.
"The VAT is charged on the undergraduate and postgraduate tuition fees and on books, after deducting any bursary, financial aid or scholarship awarded to our students. For our registration fee and student service fee, we have adjusted the amount so that, inclusive of VAT, they remain the same as they were before VAT."
Government owned institutions or universities funded more than 50% by the government are not subject to VAT. However, services like issuing certificates, ID cards and non tuition fee related services will be taxed at 5%.

Posted March 7, 2013 by Greg Martz & filed under White Bear Lake Auto Repair.
Your dad or grandpa probably told you about the unseen wonders held in a can of WD-40, but did they tell you how you can use it to clean your car? In this month's blog, we're taking a break from auto repair tips to further your WD-40 education so you can keep your car looking its best!
During the warmer months, you'll probably find some shade to park in when you go out—perhaps under a tree. The problem with trees, however, is the sap that makes its way to the exterior of your car. This attracts dirt and muck, causing some unsightly spots on your car. A little bit of WD-40 can help remove this scum to keep your car looking fantastic.
If you've ever been on a road trip, you know that it pretty much always ends with a plethora of bugs scattered on your windshield or grill. Usually, clearing this off can be done in a jiffy at a gas station, but sometimes you have to use something a little stronger than window cleaner. Spray a bit of WD-40 on the rough spots of your grill or windshield and you will be out of that sticky situation in no time.
When it comes to maintaining the nice look of your car, keeping the shiny parts shiny—like chrome—is of the utmost importance. Try spraying a little WD-40 on a small rag and use it to polish the chrome sections on your vehicle. This will help you keep that new car shine and protect the body of your car at the same time.
While stopping for gas is #1 on America's most annoying daily activities, not being able to get your gas cap off can make the situation even worse. WD-40 can make the process that much easier. Spray a little bit on your gas cap to make filling up a squeak-free process.
While WD-40 is great for small fixes in your car, when it comes to larger repairs you should only trust ASE Certified technicians. As an Bellaire automotive service, we hope you'll trust us with all your automotive needs. Stop by or call (651) 426-0462 to set up an appointment!

Nisekoi 2 – 02
Unlike the kind yet shy Onodera and the confident, aggressive Marika, Tsugumi and Chitoge are actually pretty similar characters, with strong tsundere tendencies. But while Chitoge seems to be coming to terms with the fact she has real feelings for Raku, Tsugumi is still in denial like a past version of Chitoge, but with the added wrinkle of guarding the girl who is with the guy she likes.
Tsugumi is a professional, so she can live with Chitoge and Raku as a false couple, especially since she's unaware of Chitoge's own feelings for him, leaving us with a love triangle in which Chitoge has the distinct advantage. But it's also because of Tsugumi's profession, and her past in America, that Raku ends up in the middle of a different triangle: one of score-setting and acknowledgement. Tsugumi's challenger: her fellow hitman and former partner, Paula McCoy.
Paula has been watching Tsugumi for a while now, and believes she's gone soft, and has come to finally beat the girl who always beat her in jobs, pay, efficiency, and everything else one keeps score of in the hitman business. She also rightly suspects Tsugumi likes Raku, though considering Tsugumi's reactions, Paula would have to be pretty dumb not to suspect that!
But Paula sees Raku, and guys in general, as Tsugumi's kryptonite, and gets her to accept a challenge before she knows what it is: whoever steals a kiss from Raku wins, and if Paula wins, Tsugumi goes back to the U.S. Cue suspension of disbelief, because we all know Tsugumi isn't going anywhere in the second episode.
I kinda also suspected neither Paula nor Tsugumi would actually lock lips with Raku, who aside from delivering some solid compliments to Tsugumi early in the ep, has very little to do other than not get shot by the resulting spray of bullets. Sure enough, Tsugumi gets Raku into position but can't pull the trigger on the only weapons that matter in this challenge: her lips.
Paula gets away and ties Raku up in an abandoned warehouse (why is no one renting that place?!) where Raku tells Paula flat out he doesn't want his treasured first kiss to happen under such circumstances, and even though Paula claims to not care when, where and with whom her first kiss is with, Raku protests for both their sakes.
The debate gives Tsugumi time to stew in the suffocating dread of knowing somewhere out there Paula might be kissing Raku, the guy she likes even if she won't admit it to herself or anyone else, until she finally blows, instantly pinpoints Paula's hideout, and scared the bejesus out of her by fully unleashing the "Black Tiger".
With Paula thoroughly subdued, all that stands in the way of Tsugumi's victory is that kiss, and she creates a workaround by touching Raku's lips than her own, thus "stealing a kiss from his lips" without her lips ever touching them. Paula is in no position to protest, scared as she is Tsugumi might do to her what she did to a giant concrete pillar (don't mess up that cool warehouse!)
Tsugumi may be aethetically the most masculine of Raku's girls, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have an adorable feminine side, nicely demonstrated on her good-winner lap, as she embraces, comforts, and praises Paula, giving her the acknowledgment she wanted all along.
Before returning to the U.S., Paula asks Tsugumi if she's really okay with Raku dating the young mistress, and Tsugumi is responds with a very professional, warm domestic bodyguard smile, claiming not to know what Paula's talking about. It's kind of sad, but what else can Tsugumi do right now?
Paula discovered a lot more sides to the Black Tiger she thought she knew, and also learned that her skills haven't dulled; on the contrary, she's tougher than ever. And part of that toughness is having to perform all her official duties while bearing the pain of not being in Raku's crosshairs. I'm sure Paula will root for her, and this week at least, I was in her court, too.

Nisekoi 2 – 01 (First Impressions)
To be honest, I didn't NEED a second season of Nisekoi, but this first episode gradually sucked me in and now I've totally bought in anew, emerging late as the best striaght-up romantic comedy I've seen this Spring. I accomplished this by delivering more of what we loved about the first season, but also by subverting expectations along with Chitoge's.
The premiere also struck a good balance between re-introducing the series premise, and later focusing on one girl exclusively. I say "good" because the first third of the episode was a high 7, tops. The locket is back in play as a plot device, but it inexplicably still can't be opened, which seemed a bit of a cheat. In any case, the significance of its contents have grown far less important compared to the development between the various characters.
I preferred if the show moved on from the damn locket, and to its credit, it does at least move on in this episode. CHITOGEISTHEBESTGIRL is a popular refrain on the interwebs, and after a Chitoge showcase like the final two-thirds of this episode, it's pretty damn hard to argue with that group of smushed together words.
We're given unfettered access to every thought and insecurity in Chitoge's strawberry blond head, from her newly-acquired self-honesty with the fact that yes, she is in love with Raku, to the anxiety and suffering she endures trying to get Raku to notice changes she makes to her appearance in order to engender compliments.
She's well aware, as we are, how dense Raku can be about such things, and she was hoping against hope that he'd surprise her, but it's nothing doing. The episode also does a great job accentuating her changes, be it her lip gloss, shampoo, nails, or ribbon (she thankfully stops short of wearing special panties…this ain't Punchline!). This makes Raku look all the denser and more idiotic for failing to notice any of it…not to mention make us angry at him for frustrating Chitoge so.
We wouldn't be so pissed at him if we didn't know exactly how hard Chitoge is trying and how futile it all is, which is underscored by Nisekoi's trademark tremendous close-ups, showing Chitoge's face in increasing levels of contortion and torture at the sheer cluenessness of this boy. When she asks "why did it have to be him", I can't help but agree with her, at least after all this. Chitoge may be being petty and superficial, but that's her goddamn right, as far as I'm concerned. Call me old-fashioned if you must!
Was Nisekoi simply going to torture Chitoge for the final two acts and keep the wall up between Chitoge and Raku? No, and that's what really made this episode for me: the subversion of all of her expectations. It's all well and good to paint a picture of Raku as a villainously clueless twerp when we're constantly in Chitoge's head.
But not only did Raku really notice the gloss and the shampoo and the nails, but he also noticed a lot more, like when she was hungry, or when she changed her lunch choice from beef to ham (he is a chef, after all). If anything, he's acting more like a dutiful husband, a domestic partner; something even deeper than a casual boyfriend, since he's so comfortable with her he assumed he was beyond dishing out embarrassing compliments.
Perhaps he's learned that even someone he can be himself with wants a little bit of superficial praise now and again, just for the heck of it…because, well…just look at that face! And maybe he'll keep his eyes open in the future for things such as the new ribbon he failed to notice. Hey, nobody's perfect. Neither was this episode, but it was pretty great nonetheless.
Now, let's see if the show makes us shift our allegiance to another girl next week, as it tended to do its first season!

This is a transcription of this iconic Joni Mitchell recording, "The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines", from the Mingus album (click video to the left). This recording notoriously features jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius, who played the bass part and arranged the horns. The rest of the music was originally composed by Charles Mingus, while the melody was adapted for singing by Joni Mitchell, who also wrote the lyrics.
This tune is rewarding practice for both jazz singers and bassists, as both of these instrumental feats are demanding and nuanced.

Medical office specialist schools help caring people like you acquire administrative skills that make it possible to build a stable and enjoyable career.
It's true: Medical office pros are in demand. So you can benefit from an increasing number of employment opportunities. By training at a medical office specialist school, you'll be on your way to experiencing the satisfaction that comes from a growing and fulfilling career. That's because the tasks performed by people in this field are vital to the successful operation of medical offices. As someone with the right skills, you can help people stay healthy by making sure their medical care is efficient and organized. And, thanks to the general reliability of this career, one of the rewards of helping others is that you also end up helping yourself.
So take the first steps toward an in-demand healthcare career by finding medical office specialist schools in your area. Just enter your zip code into the following search tool!
Do you want to play an essential role in clinics, hospitals, physicians' offices, or other healthcare settings? You definitely can. With so many workplace options, it's not surprising that there are plenty of opportunities for medical office specialists. In fact, the overall healthcare sector is expected to create more jobs than any other industry from 2016 through 2026.1 Here are answers about how you can be a part of that growth.
1. What Training Is Needed to Become a Medical Office Specialist?
The path to becoming a medical office pro tends to be shorter than what most other careers in the medical field require. That's good news if you want quick entry into an occupation with a lot of opportunities. In fact, many medical office specialist programs can be completed in under a year.
Thanks to the versatility of medical office specialist programs, it's also possible to use your training as a stepping stone toward a more specialized career in healthcare administration. For example, you could go on to become a healthcare records technician.
2. What Does a Medical Office Specialist Do?
As a medical office specialist, you could work in a hospital, home care organization, outpatient medical clinic, doctor's office, medical lab, mental health facility, long-term care center, or even a school. That's because almost any setting that offers medical care can benefit from someone who works to keep the business side organized and efficient.
Keep in mind that "medical office specialist" is a broad job title. After completing your education, you might focus on a particular area of the healthcare sector, which could lead to a different job title and duties that are distinct to that area. For example, if you work for a dentist, your job title and duties might be different than they'd be if you worked for a family physician.
3. How Much Do Medical Office Specialists Earn?
4. What Are the Job Prospects Like for Medical Office Specialists?
The number of job opportunities for medical office specialists is anticipated to grow by 22 percent from 2016 to 2026.3 That number is over three times the predicted U.S. average of seven percent for all careers.
So, what's behind the increase in jobs? Some of this job growth will happen because of the fact that the number of Americans who are older than 65 is expected to increase from just over 49 million in 2016 to over 78 million by 2035.4 After all, older people tend to need more medical care. So plenty of medical office pros will be needed to manage all the administrative tasks that will accompany keeping this aging population healthy.
As well, new discoveries in medical technology will continue to create work in medical offices since patients will be able to have medical procedures without going to the hospital. That means even more opportunity for medical office specialists.
Are you ready to benefit from the boom in healthcare jobs? Medical office specialist schools can help you start taking advantage of the many opportunities that involve helping patients and other healthcare professionals. Now is the perfect time to make your next move. Just enter your zip code into the search tool below to get started!

Q: Problem with SOAP request I'm getting the error: "Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction:"
Does it necessarily say the problem is with my soap action? or can it also be in my soap message?
I want to debug this issue but don't know where to start... =\
10x

A: You need to check a couple of things:

*

*Did the namespace for the web service change? - This can generate the error because the deserialization of the xml being posted to the service fails due to a mismatch in the namespaces of the posted xml and the namespace the service expects.

*Did the method being requested get removed from the web service? - Not likely but a missing method might cause the same problem.  More likely #1.
Any of these will be fixed by updating your application's reference to the wsdl of the web service.

A: As the message says, there is a SOAPAction header in your HTTP request and the server isn't recognizing the value.  Can you examine or modify the headers being sent in the request?

How the Flyer Does It!
The bobbin sits on an axle between the flyer arms.
The fiber you will be spinning is attached to the bobbin via a leader yarn that is threaded out through the orifice of the flyer.
When the flyer spins (because you are treadling), it imparts twist to the fiber between you and the orifice.
The pull on the fiber that you feel is called "take up", and is a function of the difference in speeds of the bobbin and flyer.
When you permit the fiber to move towards the orifice, it begins to wind on the bobbin.

I have recently started using internet analysis devices to better gage what visitors to the Heliograph research. I had expected airships to be a mainstay, but interestingly enough, Steampunk Fashion was one of the most sought topics.
A very talented photographer who resides in San Francisco, she had done a photoshoot with a steampunk flair about August of 2007. I was fortunate to locate her work, but missed some of her portfolio at the time. These are a few of her exquisite pieces of work… please visit her website for more of the same top notch work!
Scientific Collectables – very nice, but expensive!

Once again you aced it with awesome steampunk pics! Love it.


After over 12 years at MD Anderson Cancer Center, I turned in my resignation last week. I'm leaving my steady job for self-employment.
I have done occasional consulting for 20 years, but I haven't done it as my only source of income before, other than a salaried position I once had with a consulting company. I enjoy consulting, and I've wanted for some time now to do it for a living. Recently, my wife and I agreed that this was the time to make the leap.
I plan to offer consulting in applied math, statistics, and software development. At a high level, this means helping businesses formulate and solve problems, as well as helping them to interpret and apply the solutions. At a lower level, this means using Bayesian inference, number crunching, or whatever else it takes to get the job done. I am also available for speaking and training.
The hard part of consulting is finding enough work. I would appreciate your help in this. Please contact me if you would like to work together, or if you have suggestions for people I should talk to.
Best of luck! I'm sure things will work you for you.
Now these are tough times but I am pretty confident that you will make it!
I too recently started to do some consultancy. I wish you the best of luck! You know your stuff.
Best of luck to you. Please keep us posted on your progress.
congrats and best of luck in this endeavour.
I'm clearly not the only one who will recommend you.
Good luck in your new career! And make sure not to stop blogging!
echo all of the above comments. Hope you're OK for medical insurance.
Also John I just checked "this page". Don't you think it would be a good idea to give more information about your degrees, where you got them, and it what subjects?
Come and contract for Mozilla!
Best of luck for your new endeavor!
Best of luck also! I'll make sure people know you are available in our Houston office (home of IMSL). We don't do a great deal of consulting in areas of your expertise though.
John, if your posts are any indication of the quality of your consulting services, I doubt you will ever be out of work. Best of luck.
Hey, John: Just saw this.
Your stuff is great. I'm sure your consulting will be fun and awesome as well.
The adventure continues! Here's to tailwinds and smooth sailing on your new course.
I wish you all success and the best of luck, John. I've long admired your blog and your work. I know you'll make a great success of it.
I occaisionally get requests from individuals / companies who don't know that I a no longer have my own consultancy company. I will pass them your way in the future.

"SELMA" (2014) Q & A w/Ava DuVernay,Common, Carmen Ejojo
Yes, I should have done this review ages ago as it's been a month since I attended an Oscar screening of this film along with an after-screening Q & A with Director: Ava DuVernay; Cast members Common, Carmen Ejojo, and Henry G. Sanders. Not even sure why I waited so long, but I will say I've thought some about it since then. Maybe it's because the movie, while I'm not even going to pretend it isn't a strong, powerful film, just missed a few things for me. And historical inaccuracies aside, as let's be real, many prestigious movies take dramatic license with historical events and pretty much all bio-pics have them, I think I've just been trying to put my finger on what it was. Could be the slower pace of it or the fact that, some needlessly added small odd scenes, at times I thought I was watching a MLK biopic instead of a Selma one, or for me the too strong religious aspect of it. Yes I am fully aware and know MLK was REVEREND Martin Luther King..I am aware of the fact he was a religious man, but since they are taking liberties with some things, including re-writing the "I Have a Dream" speech, this would have been what I would have chosen to tone down some as some of it comes off unnecessary in parts. But whatever it was, I think a lot of it has to do with everything going on from Ferguson to New York to Paris, maybe I've been trying to come to terms with man's atrocities against each other in every way and this film started that for me as it couldn't have come at a more relevant time.
As the opening of the film opens with a heart-wrenching explosion we move along quickly to the man "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." (David Oyelowo), pulling off a performance that seems true to the man without being a caricature or overly reverent. The film acknowledges that King was a man, with faults like any other, but in a way that makes him affecting. Oyelowo doesn't look especially like King, but he does capture a good rendition of the heart & soul of the man. However, he's only a piece of the puzzle, with this being a true ensemble film with at least a dozen good roles, from Carmen Ejogo as King's wife Coretta, to pros like Wendell Pierce as "Rev. Hosea Williams", musician/actor Common "James Bevel" and Martin Sheen "Frank Minis Johnson" as some of the allies King encountered along the way.
The film does a great job portraying just how much the people in the march, from all walks of life, were risking their lives by participating, against a southern resistance ranging from ignorant yokels to devious politicians, to definitely more than a few sadists, who were so keen to inflict harm to the peaceful marchers that at times it's painful to watch. There are scenes of people riding horses and brandishing whips, covering wood clubs with spoke-like wire to inflict as much damage as possible on the marchers. While some might think it's puzzling as to where this hate comes from, but even more so in that the film tries to keep an even hand in showing both sides. Tim Roth as "Gov. George Wallace" could have easily played him as demonic, but he tries and somewhat succeeds to humanize him as much as he can, which is not easy when you're playing one of history's truly great evil bastards. Tom Wilkinson is very effective as "Lyndon Johnson", who's not above playing the good ol'boy card with Wallace, but also sympathizes with King, even if he's reluctant to stir up trouble and makes a few horrible decisions along the way.
In a cast of 'names' many of which I have been a fan of for a long long time, yes I'm looking at you Lorraine Toussaint "Amelia Boynton", Tom Wilkinson, Giovanni Ribisi "Lee White", Wendall Pierce, Tim Roth and yes, even Oprah Winfry as I wasn't an 'talkshow' Oprah fan, but I am an 'actress' Oprah fan. My three standouts of this film that made me sit up and take notice are Stephen James as "John Lewis", Trai Byers as "James Forman", and lastly Alessandro Nivola as "John Doar".
Hopefully the best thing about "Selma" that we can take away from it is that it's not a movie about blame or hate. Rather, it's hopeful in that it shows how people can come together and change things for the better in a non-violent manner ~ a message that should always be kept in mind when things get out of hand as they often do. Even with it's faults,"Selma" is a strong film that sends a clear message to a new generation about what standing up against intimidation in any form is all about. It is a passionate work about a towering figure who left an enduring legacy, but one that, as recent events might indicate, is still short of completion.
Additional note: I love Q & A's after films with directors/producers/cast etc. They really give you insight sometimes into things about how the film got made or a fun antidote or two.. This Oscar screening was on Thursday, December 18th,2014 at The Landmark Theater with Dir. Ava DuVernay giving insight into that this project was really made because of David Oyelowo who took it and ran with it (which explains the large Brit casting also! 🙂 ) getting Oprah & her team including Brad Pitt & others involved, including picking her as the director, even though she didn't have much experience and convincing everyone to get onboard. Also, reasoning behind not using the actual "I Have a Dream" speech..the rights to it are held by someone else who has never used them and they could not get them for this film so she ended up re-writing it herself. As for something I completely did not know, at the end of the film we see a shot of a bridge ~ it's the "Edmund Pettus Bridge" ~ as DuVernay noted was named after the leader of the Klan back then..it's name remains today.

REVIEW OF ~ "A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST" ~ (One word: Funny!)
If you are not a Seth MacFarlane fan..I would ask you WHY NOT? The man is funny.."Family Guy" is funny.. "Ted" was hysterical!! And "A Million Ways to Die in the West" follows suit. But I will warn you, if you don't like his humour, you might not like this movie as it's ALL him. It's his first 'acting' gig and we all know usually he is 'animated' or the 'voice of' etc etc.. But here he is the lead playing "Albert Stark" a sort of cowboy who is a sheep farmer (yes, be prepared for the bad, but funny sheep jokes/skits) and what he thinks is the love of his life, Louise "Amanda Seyfried" has just left him for Mr.Mustache as I call him, Foy "Neil Patrick Harris". In order to win her back he calls Foy out for a 'duel' even though he is basically the town oaf and can't even shoot a gun. Well step in Anna "Charlize Theron" to help save the day and teach him how to shoot and not exactly tell him who she is, which is the wife of the baddest gunfighter in the West, Clinch Leatherwood "Liam Neeson"
Basically the plot is nothing to write home about as it's 1882 in the West and of course their are a Million Ways to Die, snakes, disease, gunfights, or even the doctor can kill you..with a nail in the ear or a Bluejay!! 🙂 And they mostly speak in terms we use today, only the real 'cowboys' use old West lingo and there are so many innuendos to be made which make it really funny so pay attention to catch them all and the cameos!!!
So bottom line, of course Albert and Anna fall in love while she is helping him learn to shoot as she is a crack shot ~ but of course and blah blah blah with that part of the plot. Though it completely sticks to form when he's counting out the 'Millions of Ways to Die in the West" in a fun scene with Edward "Giovanni Ribisi" and his 'girlfriend' Ruth "Sarah Silverman" ~ who is really a prostitute though they can't have sex as they are saving themselves for marriage which in of itself makes for some funny one-liners. The movie has a some really beautiful scenic shots and few serious moments that I didn't expect, but then it also majorly delivers some downright raunchy, gross out scenes that we've come to expect from Seth MacFarlane and right smack in the middle of it, one of the BEST scenes EVER will bring you back to the future.. 😀
Oh yeah..and if you're looking for it to not offend and be perfectly PC..then again, you don't know MacFarlane's style because he is NEVER either of those. Seth's acting is okay..it's not great by any means but as we all found out one day a few years back that he is so damn cute it's hard not to like him. Charlize does okay in a comedic turn, as much as I love her, nothing to write home about in this performance but definitely nice to see her doing some fun stuff as you can tell she's having a good time! Liam Neeson with his deadpan and yes, accented character is spot on. And for those that say, how can he have his Irish accent in a Western.. well..Hellloooo.. back then more people had accents as in case we forgot our history, we are a country of immigrants so it fits perfectly in. Also, if you are quick enough to spot a very famous Scotsman in a cameo about a 1/4 of the way through, and a few other good cameos in between, and of course at the end..well..I say good job Seth.
I realize this movie isn't getting rave reviews because the critics love to bash his brand of comedy because it's not the norm..I love things that are not the norm and this movie is funny..much funnier than it's comedic predecessor "Neighbors" in my opinion. Let's put it this way, It's definitely worth paying to see.

Unless the UK is successful in creating a special deal with the EU, after 29th March 2019 the UK will fall back on standard ( WTO ) World Trade Organisation rules.
