Q: Old heap gen space not being garbaged collected in Scala I'm writing code in scala and I have a couple of methods that return extremely large arrays (size about 70000). I'm running something of the form:
object x {
def returnArray(y: Int): Array[Double] = {
... \\returns a large array
  }
def calculateAverage(largeArray: Array[Double]) : Double = {
...\\ takes the large array and calculates the average number.
  }
}

I noticed when running jconsole the eden and survivor spaces were GCing often and not too much memory was being used. However, the GC of the old gen space did nothing and there was a huge amount of memory being used.
Could this be due to the fact that the very large arrays are going directly into the Old Gen space and then because the arrays are return types of a method they aren't being dereferenced?

A: Garbage collection is expensive. Are you running out of memory? If not, why should the system run such an expensive operation if all the memory gets released back to the OS anyway when your program ends?
As was mentioned in the comments, your array is about 560 kByte (547 KiByte) big. On most modern computers, keeping that much memory around a little longer than actually needed is not really a serious concern. And thus, the system will avoid running such an expensive operation if it doesn't make much of an impact anyway. (547 KiByte more or less is not really noticeable for a typical Scala program.)

The Ongoing Battle Between Musk and the SEC Heats Up Again
Christopher J. Hubbert and Krista P. Wagner
Elon Musk's Tumultuous History With the SEC
Tesla's colorful CEO, Elon Musk, has a history of feuding with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it looks like the fight isn't over. In 2018, the SEC investigated Musk for securities fraud after he tweeted that he could take Tesla private for $420 a share, a significant premium over the trading price at the time. When Musk was unable to provide any support for the $420 price (likely a cannabis reference), he stepped down as Tesla's chairman (but remained CEO) and Musk and Tesla each paid a $20 million fine and submitted to ongoing SEC monitoring. Musk has remained vociferously unrepentant and seems unwilling to give up his habit of tweaking the SEC with his tweets.
On Nov. 6, 2021, Musk, referring to a proposed tax on unrealized capital gains that ultimately stalled, tweeted:
"Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock. Do you support this? Yes / No."
With more than 3.5 million votes, almost 58% were in favor of selling. The market didn't react well to the poll, and the price of Tesla's stock dropped 5% the day following the tweet and eventually more than 30% from pre-tweet levels. On Nov. 8, 2021, Musk began selling billions of dollars of Tesla stock (a total of $16 billion by the time he stopped selling at year-end).
On Nov. 5, 2021, the day before Musk's tweet, his brother Kimbal Musk, who is also a Tesla director, sold 88,500 shares of Tesla stock on the open market for $108 million, avoiding millions of dollars of losses had he sold after the tweet and the subsequent stock price slide. Was the timing purely coincidental, or did Musk tip his brother off about his tweet in advance so that Kimbal could avoid the foreseeable drop in the stock price if Musk threatened to dump 10% of his stock into the market? According to the Wall Street Journal, the SEC wants to know as well.
In an email to the Financial Times, Musk said that Tesla's lawyers were "aware" of his plans, but that "Kimbal had no idea I was going to do a Twitter poll." Musk went on to say, "The idea that I would care about whether my brother might sell shares for a few million dollars less when my Twitter poll caused my own share sale to be over a billion dollars less is utterly absurd." Apparently, Musk also couldn't refrain from taking a swipe at SEC enforcement director Steven Buchholz, adding that the investigation was "simply more evidence of Stevie grinding his very tiny axe yet again."
If the SEC concludes that Kimbal Musk was unaware of the planned poll, the commission will likely drop the investigation without bringing any charges. But, if the SEC believes that Musk did tip his brother off in advance of the tweet, the SEC may charge Kimbal with violating Section 10 of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b5-1 under the act. In essence, Rule 10b5-1 states that it is a crime to buy or sell a stock while aware of "material nonpublic information about that security or issuer." The SEC charged lifestyle maven Martha Stewart with insider trading and violating Section 10 (among other violations) when she sold thousands of shares of ImClone Systems after being tipped off that the company's experimental drug Erbitux had not received FDA approval. The company's stock price plummeted the next day when the news was made public. Stewart ultimately served jail time, paid fines and was barred from serving as a director of a public company for five years. Thus, the stakes for the Musk brothers are high.
What Would the SEC Have to Prove to Pursue a 10b5-1 Claim Against Kimbal Musk?
First and foremost, the SEC would need to prove that Kimbal Musk was aware of the planned tweet. Assuming Musk had the hubris to put something like that in writing, a text or email would be a smoking gun, but other circumstantial evidence such as suspiciously timed phone calls could suffice. Next, the SEC would have to show that the information was material and nonpublic. Allegedly no one knew about the poll other than Tesla's attorneys, so the information was not available to the public before Musk tweeted the poll. The SEC generally defines information as material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision. The SEC would certainly argue that the market's reaction to the poll and subsequent drop in the Tesla stock price is strong evidence that the investing public considered the Twitter poll material. But it might not be that simple. The rule refers to material information about the security or issuer. The poll wasn't about Tesla and it was only indirectly about Tesla's stock. Instead, the information was about Musk in that he would consider selling 10% of his stock to cover taxes (which ultimately were never imposed). Even if the SEC finds that smoking gun text, the fight won't be over.
In addition, 10b5-1(c) contains an affirmative defense if "Before becoming aware of the information, the person had … adopted a written plan for trading securities…" So called 10b5-1 trading plans allow officers and directors of public companies to adopt a plan to buy or sell stock while they are not in possession of material nonpublic information. The plan then remains in effect and shares can be sold or purchased pursuant to the pre-set plan parameters without violating the law even if the insider subsequently becomes aware of material nonpublic information. Kimbal Musk has used these plans in the past, and if his Nov. 5, 2021 sales were pursuant to a pre-existing plan, then he would be able to sell Tesla stock even if Musk did tell him about the poll. Of course, in that case, Musk would likely still face charges for lying about not telling his brother about the tweet.
The SEC and Musk Aren't Done Yet
Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, we can be confident that the SEC and Musk aren't done yet. In February, Tesla and Musk's attorneys filed a letter with US District Judge Alison Nathan who is overseeing the 2018 settlement concerning the $420 tweet requesting that the judge curtail the SEC's ongoing oversight of Tesla and Musk. Among other criticisms of the SEC, the letter states that the SEC "has been weaponizing the [2018 settlement] by using it to try to muzzle and harass Mr. Musk and Tesla" and,
"The SEC seems to be targeting Mr. Musk and Tesla for unrelenting investigation, largely because Mr. Musk remains an outspoken critic of the government; the SEC's outsized efforts seem calculated to chill his exercise of First Amendment rights rather than to enforce generally applicable laws in evenhanded fashion."
SEC enforcement director Steven Buchholz responded with his own letter to the court, and Judge Nathan denied the requests made by Tesla and Musk. Tesla and Musk haven't given up and have filed a memorandum of law in support of a motion to terminate the 2018 settlement. In the memorandum, Musk claims he was "forced" into the settlement and that the SEC is using it to "micro-manage" his Twitter activity. It appears we will be able to refer to the ongoing battle for some time to come as an example of how not to interact with your regulator.

Z loved all of his birthday gifts. But what was surprising was when he was asked by my Tita what he wanted, he answered books! Our nightly book-time routine is paying off!
To make my Tita's search for the perfect gift easier, I gave her the link to Milk & Honey. Milk & Honey is a fairly new online shop which houses some of the cutest baby items ever! They also have reward points which make shopping with them worth every peso. I saw that they are carrying books which are somewhat hard to find in the bookstores. So I just told her to choose any. My Tita said she never really liked online shopping but doing so with Milk & Honey changed her mind because the website was easy to view and there were a lot of payment options. She even had the option to have the package delivered to us!
My Tita knows me well! Panda-themed books!
As soon as the package arrived, Z started reading Chu's Day by Neil Gaiman. I didn't even know he had books for kids! It was so fun to see my little bookworm tell the story just by looking at the pictures. The books delivered were all in good condition, even the paperback copy of Goodnight Moon.
Thank you Tita Sarah for our books!
Milk & Honey has a lot of items for babies and parents so check them out now!

V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones Review - What A Surprise!
V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones Review – What A Surprise!
Before testing the new V-MODA headphones, I have reviewed some other headphones from the manufacturer but none of them could stay on my desk for more than a couple of weeks. I had different issues with those headphones, so I was really doubtful when receiving the V-MODA Crossfade 2 wireless over-ear headphones. They are even more expensive and it would be very difficult to justify the price if there is no improvement in the performance. Let's find out if the V-MODA product deserves its premium price tag.
Unboxing the product was pretty much the same experience as seen on other V-MODA headphones. I'm very impressed with the compact exoskeleton case which keeps the headphones and all accessories inside. We can find a USB charging cable, an audio cable with in-line controls, and a 1/4″ gold-plated adapter.
As compared to the first version, the whole package is significantly smaller. This is because the new version features the CliqFold Hinge design, this is basically foldable hinges that allow folding the 2 earcups inwards for easier storage and transportation.
My review units come in a white matte color and I have my initials laser-engraved on the two shields. These don't look as stunning as 3D custom shields but it's still a free option to customize the headphones. You also have an option to engrave a logo or any image on the shields.
All ports and connections are placed on the earcups, you can see a 3.5mm audio input, a microUSB port, volume, playback controls, and a switch for powering on/off and Bluetooth pairing.
Products in white color often reveal some imperfections in the build but I couldn't find one on the V-MODA. The build quality of the headphones is truly amazing although the earcups are still made of plastic. I'm very impressed with the steel frame and SteelFlex headband which could be bent flat for over 10 times. Besides, I love the clicking sound when opening or folding down the earcups; the hinges feel very sturdy and they are one of my favorite changes on the Crossfade 2.
The headphones are a lot more comfortable for extended listening sessions. All of my previous V-MODA headphones are so tight and hot that I couldn't wear any of them for more than an hour. The Crossfade 2 is surprisingly comfortable and I no longer feel the pressure around my ears. Although they are not as tight, they still isolate ambient noises pretty well and the passive noise cancellation is enough to use on the go.
Another improvement of the Crossfade 2 over its predecessor is the battery life. It is equipped with a bigger 430mAh battery which claims to last over 14 hours. I can't measure the battery life accurately since I use them just about 1-2 hours per day. However, I have no complaint at all since I don't need to charge the headphones for a few weeks.
V-MODA has replaced the old drivers with the re-engineered dual-diaphragm 50mm featuring Japanese CCAW coil 50mm ones. And I'm really glad they did.
While the original Crossfade sounds too muddy and bassy for my taste, the Crossfade 2's sound is well-controlled and it doesn't cause ear fatigue when listening to music. Having said that, it is nowhere near a neutral sound because V-MODA still targets bassheads with the headphones. The bass is still boosted dramatically and can satisfy most people looking for a rich sound and powerful bass.
Since these are wireless headphones, I mostly use them in the wireless mode because of the convenience. In case you want a better sound quality, you can use the wired connection as it supports frequencies beyond 40kHz with Hi-Res music sources. If you are just streaming high-quality music from Spotify, Apple Music, or Google Play Music, the Bluetooth connection is more than enough and there wouldn't be any notable difference.
I'm not a fan of the bassy sound, so I gave the headphones to a DJ to check it out. He was so excited when trying the headphones and kept complimenting the deep bass response and excellent noise isolation. Undoubtedly, these are the best-sounding V-MODA headphones I've ever used. I believe most people will love the rich sound, the clear mids, and adequate highs. I could enjoy the clear vocals and a wide soundstage on V-MODA headphones for the first time.
The V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless is obviously the best V-MODA headphones on the market till now. This is an easy recommendation if you are a fan of the brand or you are looking for all-purpose wireless headphones that you can use every day. You can buy the Rose Gold version with aptX, it costs just $20 more but the audio quality over wireless connection is also better.
The best V-MODA headphones ever.


My love of cookies has run deep for most of my life. As I've grown up and learned how to both cook and bake, I have always known how to make chocolate chip cookies. I'd dare to call them my all-time favorite, like many people on the planet. The goal soon became what's the secret to making the perfect, softest chocolate chip cookie ever. I have tried out dozens of recipes and been both pleasantly surprised and sorely disappointed. After trying several versions of the old classic, I stumbled upon a recipe that changed the cookie game- Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These cookies are soft, delicious, and with the right ratio of sprinkles- tons of fun. I've made them for family, friends, and co-workers and so far they have been a hit so it's high time I share them with the world on my blog! These 'funfetti' looking cookies taste fantastic and can be decorated for any upcoming holiday depending on the sprinkles you choose! I've made these for Valentine's Day, Christmas, Independence Day – you name it just coordinate your sprinkle colors accordingly. To be clear, the cookies only have the faint taste of the cake batter, not the texture of a cake and are perfect to be dunked in a cold glass of milk.
My biggest concern with baking cookies is the storage process afterward. Nothing grinds my gears more than going into the kitchen the next day and grabbing a once moist cookie that is now hard as a rock. After extensive research and experimentation, I've found what's worked best for me- white bread. Shocking, right? Take any leftover cookies and place them in a Tupperware container and along with one or two fresh slices of white bread close the container making sure it's secured tightly. When you go back for a treat the next day I can guarantee the cookies will be soft the next day. It was amazing the first time I tried it and I've been a believer ever since. If you have an inner cookie monster like I do, try out these cookies and my technique to save them too!
Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth.
Add the vanilla and beat on high until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low-medium speed until just combined.
Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Mix on low until the add-ins are evenly disbursed.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours.
Once the dough has been chilled, preheat oven to 350° F.
Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or foil.
Scoop rounded balls of the cold dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, use about 1.5 Tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie.
Shape your cookie dough balls to be "taller" than they are wide, as pictured above. Make sure to keep dough chilled when working in batches.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned.


Weighty Matters: Book Review: Alex Hutchinson's Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?
Book Review: Alex Hutchinson's Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?
For those of you who don't know, Alex is a columnist for the Globe and Mail. More importantly, he's an evidence-based journalist with a penchant for exercise. His book, Which Came First, Cardio or Weights? is his mythbusting exploration of the science behind fitness.
What I loved most about the book was that it busted myths that had pestered me for years. I learned not to worry too much about trying to time my breathing while running, but just to let nature take care of itself, that my body will adjust to running on pavement such that my knees will get pretty much the same beating as softer ground (which by the way, according to a quick Twitter communication with Alex means that you don't need to buy new running shoes unless the wear on the soles are uneven), that personal trainers actually demonstrably and significantly improve performance and muscle gains, and that the optimal post workout dose of protein is about 20g consumed within an hour of finishing.
The book's broken down into chapters that deal with various sports and sport related issues. Gear, physiology, aerobic exercise, strength and power, flexibility and cores, injuries and recovery, exercise and aging, weight management, nutrition and hydration, mind and body and the competitive edge. If you're like me with brief little pockets of reading time, each chapter is then subdivided into quick, digestible nuggets, and if you're really not into reading, ends with a handy, dandy point form summary of all the evidence-based pearls with none of the back story.
This book is a really should have for individuals with even a moderate interest in fitness.
This book is an absolutely must have you're doing your clients a disservice if you don't, for every personal trainer on the planet.

Pergola Theatre was built by Medici family, was the first opera house of the world, and still amazes all visitors for its acoustics.
Pergola Theatre (Teatro Della Pergola) was built in the early 17th century, when about opera houses no one has heard. This building was the first of its kind, and the architects had a difficult task to create something that will be later an example for other opera houses.
Now Pergola Theater has productions of famous playwrights and concerts by great composers, especially here like to show "Hamlet", because once its premiere coincided with the opening of the theater.
The Pergola Theatre is especially known for its acoustics - it is believed that even on the most remote places you can hear a whisper from the stage.

Music composition doctoral student Aida Shirazi's "Lullaby for Shattered Angels" is being performed as part of the inaugural "New Music from the Islamic World" series at Music at the Anthology (MATA) in New York July 8.
A story about the concert appears in The New Yorker.
Shirazi is one of five composers whose work was selected for the concert. "Lullaby …," for harp, flute and viola, is receiving its U.S. premiere at the concert. MATA supports and commissions work by music of early career composers and is one of the world's most sought-after performance opportunities for young and emerging composers.


This report examines the incidence of suicide among serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force personnel in 2001–2015, and identifies characteristics that may be associated with suicide risk. Ex-serving men aged 18–29 have a higher suicide rate compared with Australian men of the same age. Ex-serving men of all ages who were medically discharged, or discharged in ranks other than commissioned officer, were at higher risk of suicide than their peers.


The LifeBook team was delighted to wish Mr Ralph Etigson a very happy birthday recently by gifting the centenarian two new handmade copies of his autobiography, Who am I?. Mr Etigson, who has just turned 102, was thrilled to receive his books, and he particularly enjoyed reminiscing while looking through the book's photos.
Mr Etigson is currently LifeBook's second oldest author, after Mr Frank Bisby, aged 104.
Mr Etigson's autobiography – one of LifeBook's first projects – was originally completed in 2012. His was an interesting journey that influenced LifeBook founder Roy Moëd's exploration on the effects of autobiography projects in elder adults.
Mr Etigson's project was part of a two-year research initiative that focused on the best way to create autobiographies in a manner which is both enjoyable and therapeutic. It was carried out by Baycrest's research arm in their Retirement Residence in Ontario, Canada, where Mr Etigson still resides. Mr Etigson was one of two residents who participated in the study.
Baycrest specialises in long-term senior care, forming part of the Baycrest Health Sciences family and campus. Affiliated with the University of Toronto and already well known for its focus on age-related brain health research, Baycrest was the perfect place in which Roy and his team could explore how autobiography projects can have positive effects on slowing down cognitive decline, improving self-worth and general wellbeing in elders.
Roy's joint initiative with Baycrest directly resulted in the development of LifeBook. The methods established in the study went on to form the basis of LifeBook interviewer selection and training, and the way in which LifeBook's projects are structured – only made possible by the breakthrough in deconstructing the interviewer from the writer.
Just a few years later, LifeBook have used the same methods to produce nearly 1000 personal autobiographies in various languages across the world.
Baycrest researchers were trained and used as interviewers who met Mr Etigson and another resident for several separate interviewing sessions. Recordings from these sessions were used by LifeBook ghostwriters to create their autobiographies, while their feedback, along with that of the researchers, was monitored throughout the projects.
"The research helped create the understanding that regular interventions help slow down cognitive decline in elder adults," recalls Roy. The experience also had positive outcomes for the authors' self-worth, memory, sense of control and, ultimately, their overall wellbeing. Both residents looked forward to their interview sessions and enjoyed the control that reviewing their manuscripts gave them, as well as the sense of control that being in charge of their projects afforded them. The sessions became a significant highlight in their lives; the satisfaction was as much in the process as it was with the finished book.
In the study, one of the authors was introverted while the other was extroverted. Both had exactly the same number of interviews. "There was little or no disparity with the length of their books, which was a huge, but pleasant, surprise to us," says Roy. This turned out to be the result of well-structured interviewing and showed the growing therapeutic benefit enjoyed by the authors. The interviewing structure formed the basis of the interviewer training at LifeBook.
The Baycrest study led to not only two completed projects and two contented authors, but also to Roy further developing LifeBook and thereby transforming thousands of lives, which LifeBook continues to do every day.


The number of fixed penalty notices issued by North Yorkshire Police has fallen dramatically.
North Yorkshire Police have seen a 55% decrease in the number of fixed penalties issued in one year.
Only 295 were given in 2015, down from 656 in 2014 and 2,017 in 2011.
"The number of fixed penalty notices issued by police forces in England and Wales for illegal handheld phone use at the wheel has, frankly, fallen off a cliff. In 2011, 123,100 notices were given; last year the figure dropped to just 16,900, a staggering 86% fall over five years. Between 2014 and 2015, 43% fewer notices were issued for the offence.
"The figures lay bare the scale of the handheld mobile phone epidemic that has been allowed to sweep across the country largely unchallenged. The simple truth is the problem of illegal handheld phone use at the wheel is undeniably getting worse, with fewer and fewer people being caught.
"RAC research released in September showed that the number of motorists that think it is acceptable to make a quick call doubled from 7% in 2014 to 14% in 2016 , while a fifth (20%) now believe it is safe to check social media on their phone while stopped in traffic. Attitudes are clearly relaxing as a result of drivers no longer fearing punishment.
"As a result of pressure from the RAC, the Government responded by announcing tougher penalties will be introduced from 2017. But we fear this alone will not be enough to bring about a change in the attitude of those motorists who continue to believe it is acceptable to use a handheld phone while driving.
"Law-abiding motorists who regularly see others using a handheld phone at the wheel, putting lives at risk, want to know that the law is being enforced. With a 27% decline in full-time roads policing officers since 2010 and little chance of an increase in numbers in the near future, we need to see all police forces giving greater priority to the enforcement of this offence.

99 Homes Review
By Jordan Adler @jza1991 4 years ago
Review of: 99 Homes Review [TIFF 2014]
Jordan Adler
Reviewed by: Jordan Adler
Last modified:September 25, 2015
A searing, compassionate film set in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, 99 Homes is one of the finest films about contemporary American life.
This review was originally published during our coverage of TIFF 2014.
For more than a century, great artists, novelists and filmmakers have examined the question: What is the American Dream? Their stories of men and women rising from rags to riches, in means dignified and corrupt, have electrified audiences. The latest masterwork to explore that dream state (or the lack thereof) is Ramin Bahrani's 99 Homes, a masterfully acted and searing look at a fractious time of modern American history: the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, which left both rich and poor out of their homes. However, in a world of enormous disparity between the ultra-rich and the paycheck-to-paycheck poor, a better question would be: Where is the American Dream?
Well, it is certainly not in Florida, where 99 Homes is set, a state where the prosperity of gated communities meets the grind of small-town poverty. Bahrani's drama opens on a man lying dead in his bathroom, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Looking at the body in awe but not too much disgust is Ray Carver (Michael Shannon), a realtor who represents one of the most powerful banks in the nation. It is his job to ensure that the mortgages his bank's clients can no longer pay are added to his employer's coffers, even if it leaves the men, women and children in these homes without a place of their own. The bank can legally usurp their property, so he is on the side of the law, he tells himself. Ray answers the people he evicts with an unfeeling response; he drives a Range Rover but does not have much emotional range.
Ray is on a collision course with Dennis Nash (Andrew Garfield), who is affected in two ways by the financial crisis. First, a halted construction job forces him out of work. Second, he can no longer afford the mortgage on his Orlando home. Ray and two policemen knock on Dennis's door and force him out, along with the electrician's son Connor (Noah Lomax) and mother Lynn (Laura Dern). Shelved up at a crowded motel with their belongings, his family relies on him to get work in a cloudy economic climate. The unemployed Dennis finally finds some refuge – but it is as the apprentice for Ray, the man who handed him an eviction notice.
99 Homes comes from director Ramin Bahrani, whose tales of ordinary folks in unfortunate circumstances brought him much attention on the festival circuit. In his most accessible film to date, the director blends in two styles that normally do not mix – neorealism and melodrama – to create a story of bruised humanism and gripping suspense. It is a film that could easily have condescended with characters that fall too concretely on the sides of black and white, the 99% vs. the 1%. (it is easy to believe that the 99 from the title refers to the plight of the common individual against the monopoly of the elite). However, Bahrani and co-scribe Amir Naderi are too perceptive and intelligent to depict these two men in simplistic ways.
Lending the film its emotional anchor is Garfield, who has never been better than he is as the desperate Dennis. We notice his anxiety of his hypocritical work on behalf of Ray, as he helps to wreck the lives of others in his community. At first, the 31-year-old actor looks a bit too youthful to portray the father of a grade-school kid; however, he shares great chemistry with Lomax and possesses the capacity to go through a lot of dramatic changes in the course of a given scene. This is a nuanced, mature turn. When he evicts a family whose son goes to school with Connor, Garfield's voice tries its best to stay firm, his eyes wavering as to not collapse into tears of acknowledgment. (This scene is filmed at the same angles as the early moment when Ray kicks Dennis and his family out of their home, a mirror that Dennis realizes at once.)
As a man grappling with his own version of the American Dream, Garfield probes deeper than he ever has before. He is aided by a generous supporting turn from Shannon, whose Carver is not just a vindictive 1% representative, but a man who fought to get to that top tier percentile and will not let go. "America was built by bailing out winners," he exalts at one point, cementing his drive to reach that level. As much as Ray seems to contrast Dennis, both men are made of the same stuff: a mission to help their families and make a buck, even if its means are not necessarily honest. Shannon is too smart of an actor (and Bahrani and Naderi nuanced writers) to turn Ray into a symbol of outright villainy. He is calculating and charmless, but there is color and purpose underneath his frigid expression.
Ray tells Dennis in one scene, "Don't get emotional about real estate." However, like Dennis, it may be hard for audiences to abandon their emotional capacity when watching 99 Homes. It is a deeply humanist film, sympathetic to the poor souls who are the victim of little more than bad deals and financial corruption they had little control over. Bahrani's film could have been too dispassionate, aiming to document this troubling era with an overly neorealist angle. Meanwhile, it also could have been too passionate, favoring emotional resonance over story. Instead, he and Naderi make 99 Homes a compassionate film, sympathizing with the characters while also showing their grim circumstances. The drama works as both a snapshot of modern times and a galvanizing look at class relations in America.
The eviction scenes are wrenching, but the musical score (from Animal Kingdom's Antony Partos) that plays above many of them frets and gallops, creating suspense instead of heightened emotional drama. The music serves as a representation of the coiled anxiety of the character to rush through the packing and leave. Meanwhile, the camerawork from Bobby Bukowski (who also shot fellow TIFF selections Rosewater and Infinitely Polar Bear) moves, appropriately, between documentary-style intimacy in more harrowing moments and longer tracking shots when following the sleek realtor in action. In one of the film's more telling moments, a swimming pool is superimposed over Dennis lying, in despaired disarray, on a carpet. The image is striking, evoking how the character is drowning in his tortured frame-of-mind.
Bahrani dedicated 99 Homes to Roger Ebert, putting his name immediately after the film's principal cast. As some may recall from Life Itself, Steve James' poignant doc about the late veteran film critic, Ebert was one of Bahrani's early champions and later befriended the filmmaker. Ebert loved films that encountered social issues in a way that was appealing to the average moviegoer. He also loved films that showed the bright side of the American dream – inspiring underdog doc Hoop Dreams was his favorite film of the 1990s – and those with a bleaker forecast about that dream. (Goodfellas ranked third on that decade-best list.) As you see Ebert's name in the end credits, one imagines just how much the critic would have adored Bahrani's newest film. And it is easy to imagine that you will, too.

There's no place for embarrassment when trying to lead your dog.
I remember back before I knew what I was doing with dogs, I was out walking my dog through my busy neighborhood - I'm being generous by saying "walking," because it was mostly being pulled, getting frustrated and getting blown off by my dog.
And then he ducked back into the restaurant. I remember wanting to go in and fight him. I remember not wanting to walk my dog ever again. I remember making excuses. I remember being hurt and embarrassed.
At the end of the day he was probably right, but embarrassment doesn't usually make us bold – it makes us shrink into ourselves and avoid doing the right thing for ourselves and for our dogs. Lucky for me, nothing makes me happier than proving people wrong, so I just went out and became the best dog trainer I could.
I meet a lot of people who are in a similar situation and their solution is simple and easy: avoid embarrassment. They do this by quitting walks or skipping training class and letting their dogs play in the yard as their only form of exercise, all so that they don't have to go out in the world where they are almost certain their dog's behavior will make them feel ashamed. They get embarrassed and then stop trying to grow to avoid more embarrassment.
1) Correcting your dog – This is one of the biggest things people don't do when it matters. Often people will do a great job of enforcing rules in private, but when their friends come over, they become too timid to correct their dog for barking or jumping up on our guests. Our friends often don't help us and will say things like "it's okay, I don't mind them jumping," or "I read on the internet you're not supposed to correct dogs." At the end of the of day, you know what to do, but the social pressure keeps you from doing it. Just remember, you have to live with your dog and these people who want to make you feel embarrassed don't. It is your responsibility to make your dog successful.
2) Rewarding your dog – As it turns out both sides of dog training will make you feel embarrassed for training your dog. Maybe someone will make fun of your fanny pack treat pouch you take everywhere with your dog. Maybe someone will shame you for having to "bribe" your dog with treats. Dogs, like humans, love rewards and being paid for their work – don't let other people make you feel ashamed for your awesome fanny pack if carrying rewards is helping your dog get better.
3) Working through tough situations – If you are working with a dog who has severe behavior issues, letting embarrassment control your behavior as your dog's leader will guarantee you never make progress. I always tell my clients that when your dog is acting ridiculous, that is when you can really get to work. Our human instincts often tell us the opposite – you'll see people have their dog start to bark, lunge, whine or otherwise act out and see them start to shuffle away embarrassed with their tail between their legs (metaphorically of course). But when you retreat from your dog's embarrassing behavior, you're not going to be able to teach your dog anything. You might even be accidentally rewarding their behavior. When you feel yourself start to retreat, stop yourself and stop your dog. Slow things down and be your dog's calm teacher. That's what they need. They have no use for an embarrassed handler who is trying to save face in front of the neighbors. If you can get control of your emotions, then you will start to see changes quickly.
4) Fear of using the correct tools – Many people refuse to use tools that will help their dog because of the stigma associated with them. Some tools are controversial – like prong collars or electronic collars and people are afraid of what others might think of them if they use them (even if they are almost certain the tools will make their dog's life better). But the biggest one I see pushback on is getting a dog to wear a muzzle – owners often don't want to have THAT dog that needs to be muzzled. I understand that it's not the Lassie imagery they dreamt of when they went into the shelter to pick up a dog, but if your dog is biting people, swallow your pride and give you and your dog the safety net you need to go out into the world and get better. Do not let what other people think control you and hurt your dog's life.
5) Telling people not to touch your dogs – For some reason it is very awkward when people ask if they can pet your dog and you need to say no because your dog is learning to trust that you will control his space. If you hesitate for fear of embarrassment, then anything you are trying to accomplish – whether that be trying to teach your dog not to get overly-excited around new strangers or teaching him how to be comfortable with people again – will not succeed.
Embarrassment is a weak emotion that will keep you and your dog from thriving. If you are working with your dog and things start going poorly and you feel yourself get embarrassed, just take a moment to relax yourself and realize your dog is depending on you to step up and not run away.

Due to the glorious weather we are having we have changed the venue of one of our concerts.
The concert on the 3rd July will now be held outside in Castletown Square and not in the Civic Centre as originally advertised.
The square is a lovely place to sit on a sunny evening and with the sound of brass ringing round the square what could be better.
Bring your sun cream and sunhats!

BREVARD ZOO
8225 North Wickham Road
Brevard Zoo in Melbourne Florida is loved by kids and adults alike. It is one of the most popular Florida zoos.
More than 550 animals live here representing 165 different species.
Animals are included from Florida, Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America.
Unlike other Florida tourist attractions, you are able to hand feed giraffes and birds, and ride a small train around the grounds.
There is also a guided kayak tour through 22 acres of restored wetlands.
You will see giraffes, rhinos, cranes, lemurs and other animals on this tour.
Kids enjoy the petting zoo and animal contact zones in a participatory exhibit designed by kids with the help of Robert Leathers. Mr. Leathers is a famous expert who specializes in bringing communities together to visualize, create and build zoos, parks and other participatory venues.
Special experience packages can be purchased at the zoo entrance. This gives you and your group a chance to do a bunch of things that many zoos don't offer. For example, ride on the zoo train, go kayaking, feed the animals, have a rhino encounter, rent a paddle boat and a host of other fun adventures.
This beautiful facility was built with a huge volunteer effort. Over 16,000 people helped build it. Sort of like a giant Habitat for Humanity project, but a habitat for animals.
I was fortunate to be one of those volunteers in the spring of 1992. That's me in the pith hat with a feathered friend sometime around that time.
This most unique of Florida zoos and tourist attractions opened in March 1994.
It is a world-class zoo where kids and adults learn to understand and love animals.
Visiting a zoo is one of the most interesting and relaxing things to do in Florida. Any discussion of Florida tourist attractions is not complete without including Florida zoos.
BREVARD ZOO ADMISSION FEES
Call the zoo at 321-254-9453 for current admission fees, or consult our annually updated admission fee table. Check with the zoo also for reduced group rates.
Brevard Zoo is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Last admission is 4:15 p.m.
The Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. In addition, it closes at 3 p.m. on event days including Safari Under the Stars, Great Tastes of Suntree, and Boo at the Zoo (a Halloween event).
The zoo is in north Melbourne, Florida less than one hour east of Orlando International Airport. Take Exit 191 on I-95 and go east one half mile. Turn right at the zoo.

Hampered in playoff loss
Boyle was held without a catch on two targets in the Ravens' loss to the Titans in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: The tight end played just 26 snaps, which amounted to 27 percent of the team total as he was hampered by an apparent lower leg injury suffered during the contest. Boyle's lack of availability left Baltimore without its key edge sealer in the run game, which took some out of the punch out of that facet of its offense. Boyle is under contract for two more seasons and will enter 2020 coming off his most productive season as a pro, catching 31 of 43 targets for 321 yards and two touchdowns. Mark…read more

Gains six yards in win
Boyle caught one of two targets for a six-yard gain during Sunday's 28-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Though it's hard to put much stock in this performance while so many key Ravens contributors were being rested, Sunday marked the fourth time in his past five games that Boyle was held to 10 or fewer yards. Despite the team's offensive dominance this year, Boyle's role in the passing game has declined compared to a handful of nice games he had in the middle of the season. Following their bye, the Ravens will take on the Texans, Bills or Titans in the divisional round. Boyle caught a combined…read more

Hauls in three balls in win
Boyle caught three of his four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Boyle hadn't seen that many catches or targets since Week 10. He may get more chances if the Ravens elect to rest Mark Andrews in Week 17.
Notches second touchdown
Boyle caught two of three targets for 10 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bills.
Analysis: The fifth-year tight end caught the second touchdown of his career Sunday and has already surpassed his previous career high for receiving yards in a season with 291. Boyle is fourth on the team in target share at 10.5 percent, but with Hayden Hurst coming on strong of late, there could be increased competition for targets down the stretch.
Published: Tue, Dec 10 at 8:24am by Rotowire.com
Returns to practice
Boyle (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Boyle wasn't present Wednesday for the Ravens' first practice of Week 14 after falling ill, but his return to work one day later in full capacity sets him up to play Sunday in Buffalo. The tight end will provide most of his value as a blocker, but he's been a reliable dump-off target for Lamar Jackson when needed. Boyle has drawn a target in all 12 of the Ravens' games, making 25 catches for 281 yards and a touchdown.
Published: Thu, Dec 5 at 12:32pm by Rotowire.com
No practice Wednesday
Boyle (illness) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Boyle plays a key role in Baltimore's tight-end rotation behind top option Mark Andrews, though the 26-year-old typically makes his biggest impact as a blocker. The undisclosed ailment is preventing him from practicing to start the week, but Boyle will have two more chances to increase his activity ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills.
Published: Wed, Dec 4 at 1:33pm by Rotowire.com
Held to four yards in win
Boyle caught one of his two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Boyle has now been held to a single catch in back-to-back games. He had a nice little stretch in Weeks 9 and 10 during which he totaled nine catches for 105 yard and a touchdown, but he has just 31 yards in his three games since. How he'll perform in any given week is hard to predict given Baltimore's reliance on the run and a roster loaded with talented tight ends, and the risk almost certainly isn't worth the reward. Next up is a matchup against the Bills, the best defense in the league…read more

Good to go Sunday
Boyle (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game versus San Francisco.
Analysis: The 26-year-old finished the week as a full practice participant and was expected to play, so the fact he's suiting up comes as little surprise. Boyle should serve in his usual role as the Ravens' secondary tight end behind Mark Andrews.
Published: Sun, Dec 1 at 8:48am by Rotowire.com
Expected to play Sunday
Boyle (ankle), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Boyle was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. He should be fine for Sunday's heavyweight fight, likely handling his usual role that involves frequent blocking and 1-to-5 targets.
Published: Sat, Nov 30 at 9:56pm by Rotowire.com
Deemed questionable
Boyle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Published: Fri, Nov 29 at 2:42pm by Rotowire.com
Limited by ankle issue
Boyle was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report due to an ankle injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Boyle's usage has been consistent this season, ranging from 52 to 84 percent of the offensive snaps in the Ravens' 11 games. His production has been a different story. Boyle has recorded just one touchdown and surpassed 30 receiving yards on two occasions. While his ability to fit in some reps Wednesday bodes well for his availability Sunday against the 49ers, the preceding facts don't lend themselves to fantasy viability.
Published: Wed, Nov 27 at 4:14pm by Rotowire.com
Continues slide in blowout win
Boyle caught his only target for a seven-yard gain during Monday's 45-6 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Ravens seem to be coming up with a prime-time offensive explosion every week, but Boyle has -- for the most part -- stayed out of it. The TE2 is getting WR2-level offensive snaps, at least 50 in five of his last seven games, but he's only mustered 15 catches during that span. In a run-heavy offense, his 24 catches and 277 yards both rank third on the team, but that's very little to hang your hat on, especially in Sunday's upcoming matchup against San Francisco's top-ranked pass defense.
Published: Tue, Nov 26 at 3:44pm by Rotowire.com
Comes back to earth
Boyle caught two of three targets for 20 yards Sunday against the Texans.
Analysis: Boyle came back to earth Sunday after posting 25.5 points in PPR scoring over his previous two games. He still tied for second on the team in targets against the Texans with three, putting him just one behind Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown for the team lead on the week. Boyle is up to 23 catches on 31 targets for 270 yards in 2019, which is an above-average role for a player primarily used for his blocking.
Published: Tue, Nov 19 at 7:24am by Rotowire.com
Goes off for 78 yards
Boyle caught all four of his targets for 78 total yards during Sunday's 49-13 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: It doesn't look like a lot, but Sunday's 78 yards set a new career high, while his nine catches over his past two games also mark a career best for a two-game stretch. Boyle has always been known as more of a blocker and underneath target than dynamic downfield pass-catcher, but -- with the Ravens using heavy sets to keep opponents guessing between the run and the pass -- Boyle is seeing opportunities like never before. He has already set a career high in receiving yards for a season and takes…read more

Finally reaches pay dirt
Boyle caught all five of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Patriots.
Analysis: The fifth-year tight end had 87 career receptions entering Sunday but was still waiting for his first career touchdown. Boyle made it happen on a drag route inside the five-yard line and bounded into the end zone to put the Ravens up 30-20. His blocking ability continues to get him the most playing time of any Baltimore tight end, and even though Boyle finally scored Sunday, Mark Andrews remains the top fantasy option in the group given that he's run more than twice as many routes (165) as…read more
Published: Tue, Nov 5 at 10:05am by Rotowire.com
Makes big play when needed
Boyle caught his lone target for a 20-yard gain Sunday against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Though he wasn't involved much in the passing game, Boyle made his one target count as his 20-yard catch set up a field goal to put the Ravens up 10 points late in the fourth quarter. Boyle has only run routes on 22 percent of his snaps and has been targeted on just 26 percent of the plays in which he's run a route. Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst are the primary pass catchers among tight ends in Baltimore.
Published: Tue, Oct 22 at 7:59am by Rotowire.com
Targeted four times in win
Boyle caught two of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Boyle hauled in multiple passes for the first time since Week 3. The big-bodied target was targeted at least three times in each of the first three games of the season, but has seen just seven targets since. The Ravens pass offense hasn't been quite what it was since the a dynamic opening two weeks to the season. Though far from the Ravens' top target, that has had a ripple effect for Boyle. The good news is that the Ravens can turn it around Sunday against the league's 25th-ranked pass…read more

Catches lone target
Boyle caught his only target, a nine-yard gain, during Sunday's 40-25 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: One game removed from leading the team in receiving, Boyle was not targeted multiple times for the first time since Week 3 of last season while sophomores Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst both received more opportunities. The Ravens emphasize getting the ball to their tight ends more than most teams, but with so many cooks in the kitchen -- and Andrews having a well-established rapport with quarterback Lamar Jackson -- it's hard to rely on the down-depth-chart guys. Without a touchdown in his…read more

Leads team in receiving
Boyle caught four of five passes for 58 yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Not necessarily known for his play in the open field, Boyle showed some ups during a late-third-quarter touchdown drive, catching a pass underneath and hurdling over a defender for a gain of 15. Passed over by Mark Andrews for all intents and purposes, Boyle managed to exceed his receiving total from the first two weeks of the season combined to lead the Ravens on Sunday. Andrews is still the primary TE weapon in Baltimore, but sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson obviously has comfort throwing…read more

One catch Sunday
Boyle caught one of three targets for 14 yards Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Boyle has seen three targets in each of the first two games, catching four for 40 yards. He is behind only Willie Snead in snap percentage (59 percent) and is surprisingly third on the team in targets. His blocking ability keeps him on the field consistently, but he's unlikely to remain this high up in the target pecking order as the season progresses. Boyle and the Ravens will travel to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs in Week 3.
Published: Mon, Sep 16 at 2:02pm by Rotowire.com
Snags three passes
Boyle caught all of his targets for 26 total yards during Sunday's 59-10 win over Miami.
Analysis: Boyle ended the game with more snaps than fellow tight end Mark Andrews, 43 to 32, but with a fraction of the production as Andrews ended with 108 yards and score. Based on their pasts, that dynamic is likely to continue, though it's hard to read too much into a game that got out of hand as early as Sunday's. Next up is an Arizona defense that allowed Lions rookie T. J. Hockenson to post a historic debut.
Inks extension with Baltimore
Boyle and the Ravens have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $18 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: At first glance, it seems like a hefty payday for a tight end with just 75 receptions in his four-year NFL career, especially considering Boyle will see nearly $10 million in guaranteed money. But pass-catching has never been the focal point for Boyle, who excels as a blocker and does so on the great majority of his snaps. This was valued enough by the Ravens to grant the 26-year-old a new contract, but Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst likely remain ahead of Boyle in the pecking order for targets…read more

New career high in yards
Boyle caught 23 of 37 targets for 213 yards in 2018.
Analysis: The fourth-year player out of Delaware set a new career high in receiving yards but is still searching for that elusive first touchdown. Boyle was also a major staple in the offense as a whole, playing 55 percent of the offensive snaps and adding value as a run blocker. The Ravens did spend two 2018 draft picks on tight ends, which may signal the end of Boyle and Maxx Williams' time in Baltimore once they hit free agency this offseason.
Published: Tue, Jan 8 at 9:48am by Rotowire.com
Cleared for Week 16
Boyle (concussion) is active for Saturday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Boyle was listed as questionable but he had already cleared the concussion protocol, making his availability unsurprising. The 25-year-old should continue in his low-volume role at tight end for the Ravens with Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst both healthy.
Published: Sat, Dec 22 at 4:05pm by Rotowire.com
Clears concussion protocol
Boyle is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chargers, despite having cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Boyle missed the Week 15 win over the Buccaneers due to the head injury but stands a good chance at playing Saturday. Coach John Harbaugh labeled Boyle a game-time decision, so official word on the tight end's status likely won't come until the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff.
Published: Thu, Dec 20 at 12:18pm by Rotowire.com
Practices Wednesday
Boyle (concussion) took part in Wednesday's practice session, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Boyle didn't participate in practice Tuesday, so his graduation to at least limited participation Wednesday vastly improves his chances of suiting up for Saturday's matchup with the Chargers. He will still need to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol to do so.
Published: Wed, Dec 19 at 9:58am by Rotowire.com
Non-participant Tuesday
Boyle (concussion) did not participate in Tuesday's walk-through, The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reports.
Analysis: Boyle remains subject to the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. His status must improve throughout the week before he potentially becomes available for Saturday's tilt against the Chargers, though the Ravens have several complementary options at tight end, including Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst and Maxx Williams.
Ruled out Sunday
Boyle was ruled out after suffering a concussion in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Boyle had been seeing the majority of snaps primarily as a blocking tight end for the Ravens, the offense wouldn't be impacted negatively if he is forced to miss time. Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst would stand to benefit if Boyle is sidelined for any period of time.
Published: Sun, Dec 16 at 1:32pm by Rotowire.com
Sees minor passing game role
Boyle caught one of two targets for seven yards against the Falcons.
Analysis: Boyle saw the most snaps of any Baltimore tight end, seeing 50 total while Mark Andrews saw 32 and Hayden Hurst played 21. However, Boyle mostly functioned as a blocker while Andrews and several other players saw more targets. Boyle is still a cog in the offense, but most of his utility is outside the fantasy scope.
Published: Tue, Dec 4 at 9:59am by Rotowire.com
Catches two passes in win
Boyle caught both his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Boyle played a 73 percent snap share Sunday -- trailing only QB Lamar Jackson and the offensive line -- but the Ravens again leaned heavily on their run game with the rookie under center. Given his general lack of production this season and the offense's reliance on the run game with Joe Flacco (hip) sidelined, Boyle isn't worth fantasy consideration outside of the deepest of formats.
Comes down with four catches
Boyle hauled in all four of his targets for a total of 36 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Boyle was one of the few targets in Baltimore that benefited from Lamar Jackson's start as he nabbed a season-high four catches. Still, the fourth-year player wasn't able to turn those into big gains -- no completion going for more than 16 yards. Boyle's level of production in the passing game sets a fairly low bar and, even if Jackson starts in Joe Flacco's (hip) stead again, he's unlikely to be able to capitalize on a solid matchup against a Raiders defense that has been mediocre against the…read more
Low snap total, no targets against Steelers
Boyle was not targeted over his 21 offensive snaps Sunday against the Steelers.
Analysis: Boyle's offensive usage has been up-and-down throughout the year, and it bottomed out Sunday. He was not targeted and played a season-low in snaps. Meanwhile, rookies Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst both saw more playing time than Boyle, and fellow veteran Maxx Williams was a healthy scratch, suggesting that Baltimore may be turning to its rookie tandem full time moving forward. Boyle and the Ravens are on a bye Week 10 before returning to action Nov. 18 against the Bengals.

Q: Como centralizar o texto de uma div em JavaScript? Estou começando agora com JS, criei uma div e queria que o texto dentro dela ficasse sempre ao centro da caixa.
Como posso fazer isso?
Oque eu tenho até agora :

div#CaixaPrincipal{

            background: white;
            width: 600px;
            height: 300px;
            margin : 0 auto 0 auto;
            align-items : center;
            font : normal 15pt Arial;

        }

A: Você estava certo em utilizar o align-items: center, porém para utilizá-lo você precisa do display: flex; também! Então basta fazer o seguinte:
div {
     display: flex;
     align-items: center;
     justify-content: center;
}

Isso irá centralizar todo o conteúdo da página.
Caso queira manter a distribuição padrão do HTML, você pode direcionar para listar o código por colunas:
div {
     display: flex;
     flex-direction: column;
     justify-content: center;
     align-items: center;
}

Espero que tenha ajudado, abraços!
