Awards Season Movies
The Academy Really Liked 'Joker' (and Other 2020 Oscar Nominations Takeaways)
More than usual, this year's Oscar nominations feel designed to annoy everyone.
by Brandon Lewis
Well, that was a thing that happened.
The nominations for the 91st Academy Awards have been unveiled and they are quite awful, depending on who you ask. Unless you were solely concerned about Joker's chances at nominations (spoiler alert: it did exceedingly well), there was a lot to be upset about. Snubs were in abundance this year: some not-so-surprising (Adam Sandler), others very disappointing (Lupita Nyong'o), and others infuriating (Jennifer Lopez, Greta Gerwig, The Farewell). Pundits were quick to point out how, in a year that had a broad selection of well-received films with diverse casts and stories, the Academy went in the opposite direction. Others noted how utterly safe and uninteresting the nominations were, potentially leading to the least exciting Oscars ceremony in years (nowhere near as dramatic as Moonlight's shocking win three years ago). Personally, this year feels especially uninspiring, and were it not for Parasite's six-nomination triumph, this season could pretty much end today and I would be just fine.
But alas, we've got about a month of prognosticating, so here are the key takeaways from this year's slate of nominations:
The Academy really liked Joker
A few years ago, the Academy giving a comic book adaptation the lion's share of Oscar nominations would be unfathomable. And yet, despite tepid reviews and furious debates about the film's subject matter, Joker is the year's most nominated film, with nods for Best Picture, Directing, Lead Actor, Adapted Screenplay and a bevy of technical notices, totaling 11. While being the most nominated film doesn't guarantee Best Picture (see last year's The Favourite), it does show that people outside of the DC fanbase may have underestimated the appeal of Todd Phillips' depiction of a mentally ill clown murderer. The big prize still feels like a long shot compared to a safer bet like Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, but considering the fury over The Dark Knight's snub a decade ago, at least there's progress on that front?
The Academy's Netflix chill is thawing (somewhat)
The Academy hates Netflix, but the streamer's awards entrants were too big to fail (there was no way in hell they could get away with snubbing a Martin Scorsese film). The Academy grit their teeth and bestowed multiple nominations on Netflix films The Irishman, Marriage Story and, surprisingly, The Two Popes. All in all, Netflix landed 20 nominations, a record for a studio that was brutally ignored just a few years ago. The question is whether those nominations will convert into actual wins, especially against tough competition like Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Joker. After this month's brutal Globes snubs, the Academy could decide to remind Netflix that they will never really belong in Hollywood with a shut-out of their own and reasonably claim plausible deniability.
The Academy also really liked JoJo Rabbit and (thankfully) Parasite
JoJo Rabbit, Taika Waititi's dramedy about a Hitler Youth befriending a Jewish girl, thrilled the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, but hasn't exactly captured the public's imagination since then. It did excellently with the Academy though , landing six nominations, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Scarlett Johansson (her second this year alongside Best Actress for Marriage Story). Also scoring six nominations is another festival sensation, Parasite. It is the first South Korean film to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Picture, while also getting nods for Directing, Original Screenplay, Production Design, and Editing. The wave of support couldn't secure any acting nods (a la Marina de Tavira for Roma last year), but Parasite is well-poised to make even more history as the first foreign language film to win Best Picture.
The Best Supporting Actress category is pure chaos
Speaking of Best Supporting Actress, the category offered the most shocking snub of the morning, with Jennifer Lopez's critically lauded performance in Hustlers being passed over for Kathy Bates in Richard Jewell. Aside from a Globe nomination, Bates has been virtually absent from the awards conservation, while Lopez was everywhere: magazine covers, roundtables, voter screenings, media profiles, and key nominations at the Globes and SAG. Whatever the factors at play were – racial ignorance (see below), preconceived notions about her talent, preconceived notions about Hustlers as an Oscar-worthy film – Lopez's shut-out is an egregious oversight. If Lopez couldn't convince voters of the worthiness of her performance, or if voters couldn't get past her broader pop culture persona, there were other nominees worthy considering, like Zhao Shuzhen in The Farewell or Park So-dam in Parasite. Bates' nomination feels needlessly random in comparison.
The Academy just barely skates past an #OscarsSoWhite fiasco
After last week's BAFTA nominations, there were concerns that the Academy would follow suit and ignore performances by people of color, setting the stage for another #OscarsSoWhite controversy. The Academy just barely sidestepped the furor by acknowledging Cynthia Erivo in Harriet for Best Actress, a nomination that was thrown in doubt after the BAFTAs snubbed her. Still, 19 of the other nominees are white, and after high-profile snubs of Lupita Nyong'o in Us, Awkwafina in The Farewell (had she been nominated, she would've been the first Asian actress to make the category ever), Song Kang-ho in Parasite, and the aforementioned Shuzhen and Lopez, the Academy still has a long way to go in expanding the performances it deems worthy of recognition.
Women didn't direct films this year (if you ask the Academy)
Where one diversity controversy is avoided, another rages. As many feared, this year's Best Directing category is filled with men, despite plenty of critically acclaimed films led by women. The biggest missed opportunity is Greta Gerwig of Little Women, which received six nominations including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Had she made the shortlist, she would've been the first woman to be nominated twice. Other well-regarded nominees included Marielle Heller for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Lorene Scarafia for Hustlers, and Lulu Wang for The Farewell. Once again, the Academy has apparently confirmed that it either doesn't see the accomplishments of women filmmakers, or doesn't care to acknowledge them when there are more comfortable options available. As presenter Issa Rae said after reading the list of names, congratulations to all the men.
Flashy campaigning flamed out
Anyone who follows the Academy Awards understands that campaigning are as important as a film's actual merit. However, two of the year's hardest-working campaigners came up short when the names were announced. Aside from Lopez, Taron Egerton hit the pavement hard for his excellent performance in Rocketman and seemed poised to be rewarded after the Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA gave him nominations for Best Actor. Sadly, his efforts didn't pan out in a notoriously difficult category. It's likely that Egerton suffered from bad timing, coming only few months after Rami Malek won the same award for Bohemian Rhapsody. Still, it would've been nice to Egerton's soulful portrayal of Elton John sneak in (even if he lost to Joaquin Phoenix).

Uninspired? I don't know. Honestly, to me this was the best batch of nominees in years. I looked back at my review scores for the Best Picture nominees: One 5 star, seven 4.5 star, and one 4 star! So I can't really complain. 😁
I guess I was disappointed by inevitable it felt, and who got snubbed. There was no real excitement in this year's nominees, and some genuine horror – I'm trying to come around to Joker, but I don't think it was that great and didn't deserve such a high nomination count, and Kathy Bate's nomination is bananas to me. I feel it's pretty easy to see who will be winning, so a lot of the excitement is gone (unless the Academy awards Parasite everything, which I would absolutely love).
You're right, the acting categories really have no suspense whatsoever. And Kathy Bates does feel out-of-the-blue. She was really good in Richard Jewell but Oscar worthy? I dunno about that.

Was sorry to see him go. But we have the joy of listening to him still.
Enjoy - reminds me of where I live.
I've been a John Denver fan for a lot of years. But a lot of folks years back asked me why I'd listen to "that dope-smokin' hippie" instead of somebody "normal, like Willie Nelson."
His "Country Roads...Almost Heaven..WV is my home state, I loved all of his songs and every state he sang about...loved his music. Just awesome.
Pre-solo efforts were good, too. Check Youtube to see if you can find a performance of The Mitchell Trio--formerly the Chad Mitchell Trio--performing "Violets of Dawn." Or "For Bobbie" [I prefer the Trio version over the solo version he released, I believe on the "Rocky Mountain High" LP].
Thanks all, glad to see others enjoy him also.
Buzzman72 I will check out the site you posted later. Thanks for the heads up.

How Much Do You Pay Your Executive Director?
by Andrew Lincoln | Feb 22, 2019 | Management | 0 comments
It's ironic that despite the fact that the majority of executive directors working in nonprofit organizations are paid up to 40% less than their counterparts in for-profit businesses, the media has their focus on the few high salaries paid in nonprofits. In some states, there are laws that instruct boards to review the salaries of their executives, while other states have considered making laws that would restrict the pay in nonprofit organizations to specific amounts. This brings us to the question of how much do you pay your executive director?
Nonprofits are more conscious than ever about executive pay because of both the internet and the new regulations being made in some states. All the Forms 990 for nonprofits in the US (with an annual revenue of $25,000 and above) are posted at "www.guidestar.com" on the internet, each showing the salaries of "key employees" who earn $50,000 or more every year. Simply speaking, anybody can find the salary of top staff in almost any nonprofit organization just by visiting this website.
However, the media is also packed with stories about executives with compensations – in both nonprofit and for-profit corporations. A large number of CEOs at large corporations earn over $10 million a year which is often 400 times what a blue collar worker at the same company would earn, according to Business Week, Stanford Report, which raises the eyebrows of shareholders and employees. The salaries of some nonprofit executives – where organizations with a budget of between $1 million and $2.5 million have a median of $75,000 – while still legal, also raise eyebrows within some circles. In the state of California, nonprofit organizations earning a non-governmental income of above $2 million are required to have the salaries of the CEO/executive director and the CFO reviewed and approved by the board.
Despite what the press says about excessive compensation, the boards of nonprofits are still worried that they are not paying their executives enough. A national study showed that most executive directors of nonprofits are quite satisfied with their salaries, even though these salaries are often somewhere between $40,000 and $60,000, even in some of the most urban residential areas in the country. On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being "very satisfied", respondents showed an average satisfaction rating of 3.47, although a considerable portion (27%) chose 1 or 2. Note also, that 6% of executive directors are volunteers and receive no salary at all.
What was even more disturbing was difference in salary between the genders. In spite of women's predominance in executive positions all around the country, their male counterparts earn significantly more than they do. Out of the six sizes of organizations studied, this holds true of five. This gap is exceptionally wide at organizations with budgets over $5 million. The average salary for female executives of nonprofit organizations with budgets that fit between $5 and $10 million nationwide was $82,314. The average salary for men, at this same range, was $98,739.
The question of how much to pay your executive director usually comes up in one of these two situations:
When talking about giving your current ED a raise and when hiring a new one.
Boards usually choose a salary designed to draw in stronger candidates. As time passes, this same board might stop using salary as a tool to retain, and only focus on increases in percentage. Some factors and objectives to take into consideration are:
The salary of the executive director should be able to make your organization competitive for talent in the market. Where is your ED most likely to leave to? Where will you most likely recruit your next executive director from? If your answer is similar to nonprofit, then look at nonprofits in your area and find out what they pay, keeping in mind that the salaries at nonprofits very similar to each other can vary a great deal, even up to factors of 10 or more. If government is your answer, focus on the types of positions your executive director would take and figure out what benefits and commissions are offered for these positions.
In comparison to the other employees, the pay is fair. How much do the other employees make? How close or distant do you feel is appropriate?
The salary of the executive director for the year ahead is a reflection of the expectation we have of him/her in the year to come and is not a reward for accomplishments he/she made in the past. However, the ED's performance in the previous year can give us clues as to how well he/she would do in the next year.
How much you pay your executive director should send a message to the ED himself/herself, to your staff, and to others. It is important to speak words of encouragement, but money is important as well. Praising an ED while you keep his/her compensation flat will end up sending a message that your board values her work. Also, if you give an inadequate executive a pay raise while thinking about firing them, you are sending mixed signals which may cause you to get trapped in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
The salary of your workers – including the executive director – should not put any financial stress on the organization. It is the responsibility of the board to keep cost (including the ED's salary) at an affordable level.
However, when you are hiring a new ED, you should probably invest your "venture capital" so that you can offer a higher salary. Neighborhood Investment Corporation did an experiment which showed that grants of $5,000 and $10,000 were made to local groups for them to raise the salary that was offered to their new executive. The theory was; if you offer a larger salary, it would attract and hire a better qualified person whom would raise enough money in the organization to cover the costs and also raise the salaries of other workers. Sometimes, boards would succeed in hiring a better qualified person, thus proving the model correct. But other times, boards were still unable to draw in the talent for which they were looking.
Whatever you decide to pay your executive director, you should continue to have his/her salary reviewed every year by your board, preferably based on the evaluation of his/her performance and your budget for the year to come. The simple (but important) task of assigning someone to research on the salaries of other organizations similar to yours can help set a useful reference for your board.

Edinburgh Festival 2009 Guide - Fringe Benefits and Cheap Gags
Posted: 1st August 2009
Right, time for a quick run through the list.... Return ticket to Edinburgh booked? Tick... Is the umbrella in good working order? Yep... Loads of disposable cash for beer and food to hand?....sort of. Know exactly what you are going to see?....er, no. Fear not, here is a personal and definitive guide to the best-value gigs at this year's extravaganza in the glorious capital city whose population is set to double during August.
Comedy is what makes the festival and the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Award is up for grabs again, as well as being re-named from the Perrier or if-Comedy Award. The big names will provide some heavyweight presence: Al Murray, Alistair McGowan, Jimmy Carr, Dylan Moran and Frank Skinner all appear in very different shows to suit all wallet capacities.
Murray plays 4 lunchtime shows for a fiver from Aug 26 to 29 in his guise as the jovial pub landlord. McGowan will no doubt make an impression with 2 contrasting shows across various dates. The first one, Cocktails With Coward, is performed with Charlotte Page and gathers together many Noel Coward sketches and songs. The second show is of his more familiar impressions and marks his first appearance at the festival for 10 years. Carr employs his rapier wit and caustic tongue to raise the rafters across 8 nights while Moran squeezes in just 2 nights of his 'What It Is' show. Our Frank returns from a sell-out run in London's West End to play the perfect host with his 'Credit Crunch Cabaret' priced at £10 - several comedians and performers will act as support.
But there are many other acts to consider seeing and having a laugh with who may not be familiar but are just as highly-trained to build up your facial muscles to the max as the famous names. Try these bargain gigs out:
The Absolute Best Of The Absolute Beginners - A showcase for the regular Monday night of mirth at Edinburgh's Beehive. 'New, fresh and still shaggable' (I quote loosely from their website blurb), the 21 date residency during the Fringe is FREE and non-ticketed! @The White Horse, Cannongate
Back To The Eighties - Dean Scurry performs across 20 dates, delivering hilarious anecdotes and stories from that most formulaic yet revered and influential decades, the 80's. FREE but ticketed! @ The Counting House, West Nicolson Street
Five Pound Fringe - The Best Of - This gathers all of the best bits of comedy as well as some music and spoken word aimed at the £5 budget! Details are often posted on the day at the venue. Performances start around Midday every day except Monday (I guess they don't like 'em). @ GRV, Guthrie Street
The Clean (As Possible) Comedy Show - Tired of all that f***ing swearing by certain comedy acts? Well, how about seeing them tone down their act and deliver muck-free monologues for just 5 whole pounds, every night (including a 2 for 1 offer for August 9th / 10th)? In a 12A certificated 90 minutes, 4 comedians will not utter any c words, f words or even the word w*nker. Well, possibly not. Laugh with a conscience - there will be Fairtrade prizes to win as well! Aug 7th to 31st @ The Lot, Grassmarket.
Just A Minute - Radio 4's long-running word-skills show is brought to the Fringe for just 1 afternoon. Nicholas Parsons chairs the 2 performances on August 18th and all for FREE. @ Pleasance Courtyard
Kunt And The Gang - Fresh from a barrage of hits on their You Tube and My Space pages and revered by Charlie Brooker and Bizarre magazine, Basildon's answer to The Macc Ladds will charm you with renditions of their ever-so-wrong songs including "F***sticks" and "Carol Vorderman". It's very, very childish but it's FREE so if you don't like it then you must be a **** (as they might put it). @Laughing Horse, Meadow Bar
Scenes From Communal Living - 4 young improvisers take suggestions from the audience and create off-the-wall characters who engage in a flat-share from hell. Anything goes from this talented and freaky quartet during the multi-date run. Tickets start at £8.50 depending on which night you pick. @ C soco, Chambers Street / Cowgate. Not August 17th .
Of course if you can also stretch to £19, you can go and see the patron saint of Scottish sweary comedy, Jerry Sadowitz. I make no apologies if you go and start crying because you have been offended. But go and see him anyway. August 29th @ Edinburgh Playhouse.
Finally there is always the annual Edinburgh Comedy Awards Show on Aug 30th (at the Pleasance Courtyard) and 31st (at the George Street Assembly Rooms). Tickets start at £14, line up to be announced!
For a further selection of comedy dates, check out this site or the official up-to-the-minute website www.edfringe.com for last minute cancellations and additions. A guide to the best in Fringe music and other entertainment will appear here very soon!

Do Declarative Titles in Research Articles Yield Increased Readership?
Each style or type of title is perfectly functional. However, the type of title used in research articles may no longer be a simple matter of the author's preference or a journal's guidelines.
Both authors and journal editors benefit from a multitude of readers viewing the work. These views are recorded as citation metrics. High citation metrics promotes prestige for both the author and the journal in which the article is published. With the introduction of the Altmetric Top 100 in 2013, there is a new way to track readership. Altmetric tracks the 100 most shared journal articles—everyone wants to make it on the list. Researchers are now taking a look at how the title of a research article may affect readership.
They looked for differences between declarative and descriptive (referred to as "Indicative") titles and how that affected readership in a variety of online platforms, including social media, and in Altmetric. Di Girolamo and Reynders selected healthcare articles from those named in the Altmetric Top 100 between 2013 and 2015—108 medical and health sciences articles were matched to 216 control articles. The abstract from their report in the JCE is referenced below.
The conclusion of the study showed that an informative and easy to understand title might help in bridging the gap between scholarly and social media dissemination.
In addition, the authors also state that, despite the limitations of their study, the findings showed that the characteristics of a title only explained a part of the variability between articles that are highly discussed and those that are not.
Another study, entitled, "Do declarative titles affect readers' perceptions of research findings? A randomized trial" was conducted by Elizabeth Wager, Douglas G. Altman, Iveta Simera and Tudor P. Toma and appears in BioMed Central's Research Integrity and Peer Review. Unlike the study by Di Girolamo and Reynders, Wager, et al., looked at whether the title of a journal article affected the reader's agreement with the article's conclusion or findings.
The authors concluded that they did not find any evidence in the use of a declarative title affecting readers' perceptions in the study. They also suggested that editors' who feared that declarative titles influenced readers' judgments about the study conclusions were unfounded in regards to the reports of randomized trials.
In 2004, JCE proceeded with a full implementation of their policy for authors to use declarative titles for newly submitted articles. Clearly, the journal's editors believed that short, declarative titles would be an efficient way to attract readers and for their scholarly articles to be indexed. Although the implementation of the JCE policy was 12 years prior to the study regarding the Altmetric Top 100, JCE editors anticipated the usefulness and importance of declarative titles.
Academic publishing is going the way of all other communication, at least where the titles are concerned: short and impactful. While there is no telling how long a platform like Twitter will last, the trend towards using language in its most abbreviated form is everywhere. Authors and journal editors, even in the open access world, still rely upon citation metrics to measure success. The Altmetric Top 100 is just one of the newest ways to assess the acclaim of an author's work and, by association, the publishing journal or platform. Following this study by Di Girolamo and Reynders, it is likely that more journals and academic publishers will recommend the use of declarative titles in scholarly articles.

Q: sed - comment a matching line and x lines after it I need help with using sed to comment a matching lines and 4 lines which follows it.
in a text file.
my text file is like this:
[myprocess-a]
property1=1
property2=2
property3=3
property4=4

[anotherprocess-b]
property1=gffgg
property3=gjdl
property2=red

[myprocess-b]
property1=1
property4=4
property2=2
property3=3

I want to prefix # to all the lines having text '[myprocess' and 4 lines that follows it
expected output:
#[myprocess-a]
#property1=1
#property2=2
#property3=3
#property4=4

[anotherprocess-b]

#[myprocess-b]
#property1=1
#property4=4
#property2=2

Greatly appreciate your help on this.

A: sed '/\[myprocess/ { N;N;N;N; s/^/#/gm }' input_file

A: You can do this by applying a regular expression to a set of lines:
sed -e '/myprocess/,+4 s/^/#/'

This matches lines with 'myprocess' and the 4 lines after them. For those 4 lines it then inserts a '#' at the beginning of the line.
(I think this might be a GNU extension - it's not in any of the "sed one liner" cheatsheets I know)

Home politics Chidoka: Atiku may not do well in Southsouth, Southeast
Chidoka: Atiku may not do well in Southsouth, Southeast
A former Minister of Aviation, Mr Osita Chidoka
The February 25 presidential poll will be determined by votes from the Northwest and the Northeast, former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka said on Sunday.
Chidoka, a former Aviation minister and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the votes from the Southeast and the Southeast, might not make much impact the election.
According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari, who won elections in 2015 and 2019, did not win in any of the states in the regions.
Osita said the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, a southeasterner, took a good decision for pulling out of the PDP, which he said belongs to the region.
Chidoka, who spoke on Sunday Politics a Channels Television programme, noted that the Ndigbo had invested so much in the PDP to have been denied the presidential ticket.
According to him, the battle was between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP, adding that Obi may not win the election,
Admitting that his party's candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar may not do well in the Southeast and the Southsouth, Osita said: "Buhari has been president without winning those two regions. And that is what is going to happen in the forthcoming election.
"PDP is going to get considering vote in Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Anambra, Imo, Abia. We are going to come second. Whoever does well in the Northwest and Northeast will win the presidential election.
"What will happen is that the APC is talking about this presidency by the virtue of the fact that they have structures and they are in power."
On Obi's emergence, Chidoka said: "Peter Obi is significant player in the game, though this election is between the PDP and the APC
"Peter Obi's emergence is the challenge we have in Igbo land. There are two opinions in Igbo land. One is that we can go with the Third Force to win the presidency. And I think that is a valid argument."
However, I am of the opinion that the structure of the two major parties (APC/PDP) offer all the ethnic groups the opportunity of winning the presidency. Once you get the ticket of any of those parties, your pathway to becoming the president of the country is clearer.
"The reason I am of that considered view is that if you look at the considerable investment of the Southeast in the PDP, we are the owners of the PDP. We have given 80 per cent of the vote.
"Now, PDP did not give us the ticket of 2023, I don't think it is enough reason to throw away that significant investment.
"So, those who said our best bet was to go out of the PDP and align forces with others to get the presidency have a better argument in that.
"And I can say that Obi is doing a great job at that. He is mobilising people across Nigeria.
"But I don't think that is the Igbo position. For me, the Igbo position is that our significant investment in the PDP for 24 years cannot be thrown away over night."
He noted that the LP candidate has successfully gotten significant followership, which he can activate in the near future.
"The Igbo's president", he noted, "is around the corner." (The Nation)

'Ophelia' was painted in Paris, where Hayter had lived since 1926, in his studio at 17 rue Campagne-Première. It remained in his possession until purchased by the Tate Gallery. There is an abstract painting, overpainted, on the reverse.
The title refers to Millais's painting in the Tate Gallery of the drowned Ophelia, which Hayter had known from the time of childhood visits. He described the Millais in conversation (2 February 1983) as a 'good bad painting', and there is no direct connection between the two works. Hayter's 'Ophelia' is one of his few paintings of this period which has no figurative subject, but he imagined the elements in it to be floating on the surface of water, and hence the association with the Millais.
There exists a more general connection in that Hayter had made drawings 'after' paintings in the surrealist technique of 'automatic writing', looking at the object he was copying but not at his hand. Although he did not make such copies after the Millais this type of hidden subject lies behind the status of this title. 'Ophelia' was exhibited specifically as surrealist in Amsterdam in 1938, and Hayter's similar 'Pavane', 1935, was one of the first paintings by a British artist to be published as surrealist (in David Gascoyne, 'Premier Manifeste Anglais du Surréalisme', Cahiers d'Art, 1935, p.106).
Several of Hayter's works of 1936–9 have casein tempera as an underpainting, although most of these were on wooden board and not canvas. This medium was purchased in Paris already made up, and was not unusual. There is a marked variety of surface texture in the painting, with some colours applied as a relief of about 1/8 in. deep, made by mixing them with plaster of Paris. There are traces of pencil drawing visible at the margins, and the artist said that he made no preparatory drawings apart from those on the canvas itself.
This entry has been approved by the artist.

White Lady of the Hohenzollern
The writer does not know the White Lady tradition at Schonnbrunn, nor has he ever been able to ascertain anything definite about her history. But there is plenty of documentary evidence, as well as a wonderful array of records concerning the White Lady of the Hohenzollerns who makes her appearance In the old palace at Berlin whenever death Is about to overtake a member of the reigning house of Prussia. The late Emperor Frederick In particular was greatly interested In the matter and collected all the evidence that he could upon the subject for the purpose of depositing it In the archives of his family; Perhaps the most Important piece of testimony in this connection are the sworn statements signed by Prince Frederick of Prussia and a number of his fellows, to all of whom the White Lady is declared to have appeared as they sat together on the eve of the Prince's death at the battle of Saalfeld in 1806.
Moreover, Thomas Carlyle went to no little trouble to procure evidence when writing the history of Frederick the Great that the White Lady had appeared to that famous monarch on the eve of his death.
Indeed, It Is asserted that the King was on the road to recovery from his illness, when suddenly one morning he declared he had seen the white-clad specter during the night, that his hour had come, and that it was useless to try to avoid death any longer. So he refused to take any further medicine, turned his face to the wall, and died. It seems that this White Lady of the Hohenzollern was originally the Countess Agnes von Orlamunde, who murdered her First husband, as well as her two children, in order to be enabled to marry the Burgrave of Nuremberg, the ancestor of the Electors of Brandenburg and of the house of Hohenzollern. The triple murder Is asserted to have taken place within the precincts of this palace…

Biden will be a president who represents the best in us: Kamala Harris
WASHINGTON: Joe Biden will be a president who represents the best of America, his deputy and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has said, asserting that he is a leader the world will respect.
Lavishing praise on 78-year-old US President-elect, Harris on Friday said that Biden will be a president for all Americans.
"Know that" Biden "will be a president who represents the best in us. A leader the world will respect and our children can look up to," Harris said in a tweet.
Harris, 56, the daughter of an Indian immigrant from Chennai, has created history by becoming the first Black American woman to be elected as the country's Vice President.
While Indian-origin politicians have been elected as heads of the state in various parts of the world in the last several decades, from Mauritius to Fiji, Harris as the vice president of the United States would be the most powerful politician ever.
Biden, in a series of tweets, called for unity in the country.
"This is our moment — ours together — to write a newer, bolder, more compassionate chapter in the life of our nation," Biden said in a tweet.
"Each of us has a responsibility in our own lives to do what we can to slow the virus. Every decision we make matters. Every decision we make can save a life.
"This is the moment where we need to steel our spines, redouble our efforts, and recommit ourselves to the fight against COVID-19. Let's remember: We are all in this together," he said.
According to Johns Hopkins data, there are 61,585,651 COVID-19 cases and 14,41,875 deaths across the world. The US has recorded more than 13 million cases and 264,000 deaths, the highest tolls registered anywhere in the world.

Q: The life range of a temporary object created at callsite arguments I have the following code, was wondering when Foo's destructor is called.
#include <iostream>

class Foo {
public:
  Foo() {
  }
  ~Foo() {
    std::cout << "destruct" << std::endl;
  }
};

void go(Foo f) {
  std::cout << "go" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
  go(Foo());
  std::cout << "main" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

If I run the code, I got the following output
go
destruct
main

It shows Foo's destructor is called after go is done. My gcc is 4.8.3.
I had thought the temporary Foo's object should be deleted after it is copied to go's argument. But this is not the case, and only one object of Foo exists. Is this expected or undefined in terms of compiler's implementation?

A: It's an optimization permitted by the C++ Standard.
The C++ standard draft, [class.temp/2] says and I quote (relevant parts only; emphasis are mine):

The materialization of a temporary object is generally delayed as long
  as possible in order to avoid creating unnecessary temporary objects.
  .....
Example:
class X {
public:
  X(int);
  X(const X&);
  X& operator=(const X&);
  ~X();
};

class Y {
public:
  Y(int);
  Y(Y&&);
  ~Y();
};

X f(X);
Y g(Y);

void h() {
  X a(1);
  X b = f(X(2));
  Y c = g(Y(3));
  a = f(a);
}

X(2) is constructed in the space used to hold f()'s argument and
  Y(3) is constructed in the space used to hold g()'s argument.

Formerly, in n3690, it said:

An implementation might use a temporary in which to construct X(2)
  before passing it to f() using X's copy constructor;
  alternatively, X(2) might be constructed in the space used to hold
  the argument

That means, this:
void go(Foo) {
    std::cout << "go" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    go(Foo());
}

is sometimes as "performant" as you want!, See, C++ is gradually getting there ;-).

But you see, using std::move will inhibit that behavior, because std::move produces an xvalue expression from a materialized object:
void go(Foo) {
    std::cout << "go" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    go(std::move(Foo()));
}

In conclusion,

*

*When not using std::move in this your case, the object is created once as seen Live on Coliru

*But when you use std::move, it is created twice as seen Live on Coliru, this is because of materialization of the object. Read the complete paragraph of class.temp/2 to understand what materialization means.


It was only a few days back that we broke the news of Biwin's introduction of the NuvoDrive NX SSD which used a new to market controller by NovaChips designated as the Bugatti NVS3600A.
Today at Computex we were able to speak with Joe James, VP of Worldwide Marketing, Biwin America, who walked us through a few benchmarks and also showed us a prototype PCIe SSD they were presently experimenting with. The PCIe SSD might seem a bit familiar as it resembles the Super Talent upStream PCIe SSD.
Beginning with the NovaDrive NX, benchmarks displayed impressive ATTO results with both read and write performance above 500MB/s and Crystal DiskMark displayed some decent incompressible high sequential writes as well. Low 4k random speeds showed a great result of 98MB/s in CDM which was confirmed in AS SSD but it was a bit unusual that these dropped to 57MB/s when testing with incompressible data in CDM. This is definitely encouraging for a new controller coming to market.
Biwin also had a new PCIe SSD on display which practically mirrored the Super Talent RAIDDrive upStream we reviewed as it contained four SF-1200 processors in a RAID o configuration, utilized asynchronous NAND flash memory as well as a LSI SAS controller.
Why did they go with the old SandForce controller??

Matthew 5:31 It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce." 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Jesus continues in this sermon we are looking at to turn heads with His radical counter cultural statements regarding life. When Jesus comes on the scene into this fallen and sinful world, He turns people's thinking upside down. He did not come to condone cultural behavior but to challenge it on many levels. This still happens today. When we come to Christ, we can expect to have our thinking challenged. All that we are used to may not be what God desires for us. So He tells us in His word how things should be and what to expect. We may think we have it all together and then all of the sudden truth, real truth, challenges us. We can be surprised by what we learn and how different it is than what we have always thought. You may know how it is. You are going through life seemingly doing ok, and all of the sudden you read something or hear something and realize that what you thought you were doing was ok when in reality you learn that you were doing it all wrong.
You know how it is…20 years ago the medical community said we should eat this way and now we learn the opposite is true, or at least true for now! Eat red meat we were told…don't eat red meat. Use this kind of cooking oil, not that one; use this other one. Take supplements…don't take supplements. What is a person to do! Unlike the medical field or any other science or idea that people have, Jesus' ways don't change but they may be different than what we always thought.
Well, Jesus is turning heads, He is explaining things in new ways, and what He is talking about is much more important than the foods we choose to eat. Jesus is giving us insight into what God values and what God expects of us. He is describing how we should live in a way that is pleasing to Him and to His Father.
Now why is He doing this? He does this so we are clear on where God stands concerning the issues of life. This, what we read in this Sermon on the Mount including the part of it that we will talk through today, is where God stands. He is describing holiness and a perfect standard, God's revealed standards.
Now immediately, we have a problem. Somewhere in this Sermon on the Mount, whether it is anger, lust, divorce, loving our enemies, giving to the needy, or not worrying about life, somewhere we all find weaknesses and sinful tendencies in our lives. No one can honestly read through the sermon on the mount and think they have it all together. So our problem may not be with this part of the Sermon on the Mount but somewhere in the Sermon on the Mount. The problem is that we are not perfect, we are not perfectly holy, we have failed in many ways and we can see our failures in this Sermon on the Mount. So what then? What do we do when our sin is revealed to us? We turn to Christ.
All of this then, the holiness of God, points us to Christ. None of us have lived out the Sermon on the Mount without falling so the answer for us is Jesus Christ. He is our rescuer. He rescues us from our failures. He is the perfect One who lived out all the expectations of the Father perfectly. He alone is Holy and He alone is qualified to be our Savior.
Please don't ignore this truth as we study these passages together. We need Jesus, not just a good Teacher or a good role model but we need Jesus to rescue us from our sins and to be, in a very real way, our Savior.
So when we grapple with and come to this conclusion that we need a Savior and Jesus is that Savior then we can take what Jesus says and we can say ok, I'm a sinner; I have sinned but there is a solution and the Solution is the person of Jesus. We can be honest about our sin, not minimize it, not convince ourselves that it's not a big deal, not trying to convince others that we are anything other than a sinner. We can recognize our sin. Repent, yes, but also rejoice and find joy in knowing that Jesus is our loving solution.
When we get to this place then when we read about God's view of divorce and say you have been divorced, then we don't have to convince ourselves or others that maybe the passage doesn't mean what it says. We don't have to say well, God is neutral on divorce or He doesn't really dislike divorce. No, we can say that our Holy God hates divorce, I've been divorced, I am a sinner. Repent and agree with God.
In other words, if we don't see ourselves for who we are and Jesus for what He did then we may, as many people do, try to explain away much of the Bible as not meaning what it clearly means, as if to say well I know it says divorce is wrong but really it's not that bad or really it means this other thing or whatever. No, we can take the Bible for what it says and believe it. And even when it hits closer to home with us on a sin issue, we can believe it and be thankful for Jesus who has taken our place, our punishment for such sin.
So as we talk about divorce today, don't think I am condemning any of you or that there is no hope for you—I'm not and there is. I am not condemning you, that is not my place and there is hope for you—that is because of the work of Jesus. But let's be honest about the passage! So with that…let's dive in and see what God has for us.
When Jesus said, "It was said," he is about to clarify for us some matter of truth. We know this because in verse 32 Jesus said, "But I say to you." It was said…but I say. In other words, this is what you have thought to be true in total, but I'm going to elaborate, clarify and give you a new understanding or a fuller understanding on this topic, clear up misconceptions and even wrong teaching on this matter. And again we need to see this as a major shift in what they had thought to be true.
Let me pause here. When Jesus quotes here from Genesis 2 and says that the man shall hold fast to his wife, the hold fast there is a word that means to to "weld" together. Most of us are not welders but let me say this: A good weld should be stronger than the steel that it is holding together. So marriage between a man and a woman is to create a bond that cannot be broken. This was God's intent when He created marriage.
Jesus was asked why Moses commanded one to give a certificate of divorce, and Jesus said it is because of their hardness of heart that Moses allowed divorce. Divorce was never commanded but was allowed.
Jesus' words in Matthew 5 are based on Deuteronomy 24:1 but are not an exact quotation of it. In Deuteronomy 24:1–4 the main clause, or the main point, is in verse 4. As is often the case, we or they can take a verse and miss the main point causing great confusion. Let me read this passage, Deuteronomy 24:1-4, because we need to see what it says and why it was said.
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2 and if she goes and becomes another man's wife, 3 and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4 then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
The prohibition here is of the reunion of a divorced couple after the woman has remarried and her second marriage has ended (by divorce or the husband's death). The original divorce, with its formal certificate (v. 1) is simply assumed (not commanded), but neither here nor elsewhere in the Old Testament is divorce explicitly approved. This passage was, however, universally accepted among Jesus' contemporaries as permitting a husband to divorce his wife, and condoning it; Matt. 19:7 shows that not only the certificate (as here) but the divorce itself was regarded as "commanded" by Moses. This is a hardening the Mosaic acceptance of divorce as a fact (that divorce does happen) and turning it into a legal precept.
Now, the permissible grounds for divorce were debated in Jesus day. One school of thought was that divorce was restricted to "some indecency sexually" that could be authenticated, but the main school of thought was that divorce was acceptable for any reason that a husband would have—that the indecency mentioned in Deuteronomy 24:1 was simply anything the husband didn't like in his wife. So any complaint became grounds for divorce; it was very one-sided, men could and would divorce for about any reason.
The result was then that a man could and often did marry and divorce many women and did so on not much more than a whim. And unfortunately, he thought that God and the Bible condoned his behavior.
So what Jesus is doing here is clarifying, narrowing the scope of divorce to only include sexual immorality. Jesus is elevating the importance of marriage and its sacredness. He is also, I would say, protecting women from frivolous divorce. Women, if their husbands divorced them, were mostly unable to take care of themselves in this first century society. So they were left helpless and these selfish men were to blame. So Jesus is laying out God's true view, God's true purpose regarding marriage and it's priority. It is not something to be frivolous with.
What we call the exception clause for divorce is there, which is sexual immorality (generally thought to be adultery), but it is narrow in scope, protecting the innocent spouse. But even then, divorce is not commanded.
So to sum up, God's intent is that marriage between a man and a woman be permanent, until death parts them. Why? Because marriage as God created it is a picture of a solemn and permanent relationship between Christ and His Bride the Church. As Christians, Jesus does not divorce us, though we sin against Him. This is the perfect marriage. This is a spiritual union that shows the character and commitment of the groom, Jesus Christ. Though we commit spiritual adultery (sin) against Him, He does not forsake us.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
It's a beautiful picture and one that we get to represent as Christian men and women in marriage. It is easy to see that if people are all around divorcing that the picture gets tainted and what marriage represents is lost. So what do we do? We uphold the picture. We show the world what marriage is to be a life-long commitment to another, a loving life-long commitment to each other.
I'm afraid that when most get married, even Christians, the reasons for marriage is much more about another person making us happy than it is of representing God to the world. And when marriage becomes making us happy and that alone, then divorce can come easy. Let's work to uphold the picture of marriage, let's do the hard work of loving in marriage the way our Lord loves us.
Some of you may say, well it's too late for me, I've already divorced. I will say, it's not too late for you. You can still represent God well. You can first repent before God if you have been divorced in an unbiblical way where there was not adultery. Confess sin as sin, repent before God and receive His forgiveness.
If you have remarried then live in your marriage with a commitment to please God and uphold the picture of Christ and the church. Be committed to your spouse, ask God to help you love your spouse for the glory and honor of God.

I returned to the Natural Products Expo in March 2018, in Anaheim, CA, to check out all of the new vegan products that are about to hit the market! There was no shortage of exciting vegan products to taste, and cruelty-free products to try!
Today is World Vegan Day and it also just happens to be my vegan birthday too! I had no idea that November 1st was World Vegan Day when I made the choice to go vegan. I also did not realize that one simple choice would have such a profound impact on my life trajectory. Keep reading to learn more about my vegan journey.


They museum commissioned a local Brooklyn artist to paint this outdoor mural, based on the Yucatan.
There's a brand-new attraction for chocoholics: Choco-Story, a New York City museum dedicated to the dark art and craft of chocolate, set up with renowned master chocolatier Jacques Torres. The exhibit, like its brethren in Belgium, Mexico, and elsewhere, is more a thoughtful exploration of the roots and development of chocolate-as-dessert than an all-out candy shop (although, of course, there's plenty of chance to satiate your sweet tooth while perusing the artifacts). It also highlights some unusual trivia about the beloved pick-me-up, which has come a long way from its ancient, ritualistic roots to the treats we savor today.
TIME stopped by opening night for a preview of the museum's multi-sensory experience—and came away with some unexpected revelations. Tour through 14 photos of the exhibit above. Here are six interesting tidbits about chocolate, all according to the museum.
There's a reason chocolate and champagne go well together. Well, sort of. Turns out that routine champagne "cheers" actually has a chocolate-associated origin. Mayans, and later Aztecs, would place a cocoa bean in the hollow feet of their ceramic drinking vessels, and shake the vessels before drinking to frighten away evil spirits, making a chink-chink sound. Today, that tradition survives in the time-honored ritual of clinking glasses before taking a sip.
Cocoa was once used in blood sacrifices. Early Mayans would pierce or cut their earlobes or tongues and mix the blood with raw cocoa beans to offer it up as a sign of respect to their deities.
Saucers were developed for drinking chocolate. Cups filled with drinking chocolate were prone to tipping over, so at one point a member of Spanish royalty had a ring put in the plate where the cup rested. In France, nobility enjoyed their chocolate on-the-go in a coach, leading to spills; so they developed a hole in the saucer where the cup would fit.
You can make your own flavored truffles by substituting this one ingredient. The key to chocolate truffles is the ganache filling, traditionally a combination of chocolate, cream, and butter. You can substitute the cream, though, for any other liquid—champagne, for instance, or a fruit purée—and voila: flavored truffle filling, according to Jacques Torres.
"The most difficult thing when you make chocolate is to stay clean." That's a quote from "Mr. Chocolate" Torres himself, who tried not to make a mess of his sharp white chef's coat while whipping up a batch of new truffles on opening night.
The Chocolate Museum and Experience is now open to visitors, who will each be guaranteed to come away with plenty of chocolate in hand. Tickets are $15.
