A Deep Dive Into Jimmy Eat World's Video For The Middle
A closer look at the video of The Middle, Jimmy Eat World's timeless emo classic…
Mike Rampton
The dream, in anything, is to have your cake and eat it too, and Jimmy Eat World's The Middle video absolutely manages to do exactly that. How does it do that? By telling an emotive, all-too-relatable tale of feeling isolated, but telling it via the medium of people dancing in their underwear.
The song would have been a big hit anyway – something which, unfortunately, tragedy had something to do with, as we'll soon see – and was just as huge a success on radio, so it's not like it's all about the flesh on show. And, it's a great, stirring, massive banger of a song, an upbeat pop-punk anthem about keeping on going in the face of adversity..
But, you know, it's also got loads of good-looking people in their undercrackers. Cake both devoured and retained. So, like the woman at 1:44, let's dive in!
Hang on, what's going on? That's not Jimmy Eat World, that's Lady Exit Car.
What? That's not Jimmy Eat World, that's Lady Ditch Coat.
That's Jimmy Eat World, surrounding by some not-particularly-clothed partygoers. Frontman Jim Adkins and pals (bassist Rick Burch, guitarist Tom Linton and drummer Zach Lind) are, like, the only people dressed for work.
The nature of this party immediately raises some questions. At least some of the guests have driven here (including the woman we followed in), but if they're all in their pants, where are their keys? Plus, even back in ancient-ass 2001, some people had mobile phones, mostly fairly chunky Nokias. See, clothes aren't just to hide your junk – they're also to carry your shit!
It's kind of weird that a song with lyrics as straight-down-the-line as 'Just do your best' became such a hit, but part of the success of this song has to come down to timing. Released as a single in November 2001, the optimism and upbeat nature of it, the you-got-this attitude, struck a chord with millions of people while the world was still reeling from 9/11. In a retrospective piece, The A.V. Club's Jason Heller examined how he went from seeing the song as a pale imitation of what Jimmy Eat World once were to an emotional masterpiece. "Viewed through the horrific lens of the attack's aftermath, the lyrics of The Middle aren't cheesy at all. Okay, so maybe they're still the cheesiest thing ever written, but sometimes cheese is called for."
Oh no, this guy's wearing clothes! What a dork! This guy is played by an actor named Josh Keleher, who is now a service technician for Boeing. From Jimmy Eat World to Joshy Fix Plane. Right? Right?
The album this came off was originally called Bleed American. However, following the horrendous events of September 11, 2001 (seven weeks after the album's release), the band and record label decided the title could upset people, so subsequent printings were released as Jimmy Eat World. The worry was that it could sound like a threat, i.e. 'Bleed, American'. The lead single, preceding this one, came out before 9/11 in the States and was released as Bleed American, but after 9/11 in the UK, where it was renamed Salt Sweat Sugar. Hey, it's all confusing!
This video, of course, features a lot of barely-clothed and sweaty people, something which could easily take it into an area that the band wouldn't have been comfortable with. The concept came from director Paul Fedor, and the band weren't immediately convinced, concerned it could come across as a bit leery and lascivious. "It was a leap of trust to work with him," Adkins told Billboard. "He tastefully told the story a little bit on the edge. But it could've gone really bad. We just had to trust him and it worked out."
Among the names written on these hard-partiers are Sky, Mollie, Lisa, Anna and Dave.
Part of the genesis of this song was the situation Jimmy Eat World found themselves in after being dropped by their label. Their previous album hadn't sold particularly well, but they felt they had what it took and would do what they had to to keep going. They took on day jobs and financed the album themselves, and this we'll-get-there spirit helped them through it, a band not ready to be written off yet.
Fun fact: In the first draft of the Back To The Future screenplay, the time machine was a fridge, but executive producer Steven Spielberg expressed concerns that children would end up climbing into fridges and getting stuck. Not a concern for this horny pair! Also not a concern for Indiana Jones in Spielberg's later film The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, who memorably survives a nuclear explosion by shutting himself in a fridge.
It's a silly name, isn't it, Jimmy Eat World? The origins of it are arguably even sillier – despite the frontman of the band being named Jim, it's nothing to do with him. Guitarist Tom Linton took it from a drawing one of his younger brothers did. Here's how Linton described it in 1999: "My brother Jim beat up my younger brother Ed, and Jim ran into his room and locked his door, and Ed drew this picture that said 'Jimmy Eat World', and it was a picture of him eating the world. My brother Jim is kind of a big guy. A stupid name."
Aw, dude. That awkward, not-part-of-anything feeling is a bit too relatable. Someone who related to it, and is a massive fan of this song is Taylor Swift, who told Rolling Stone "I felt comforted by it, because I never felt like I really fit perfectly into any clique at school." She later performed it in an Apple commercial, and brought Adkins out on stage with her.
Poor fella, obscured by gyrating crotches. This video's director, Paul Fedor, has also worked with Marilyn Manson, 30 Seconds To Mars, Alice in Chains and Deftones. He is also a visual effects artist, and has worked on some massive films including The Fate Of The Furious, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Pacific Rim, as well as an obscure TV show called Game Of Thrones. There were a lot of gyrating crotches in that one as well, if memory serves.
Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that the guy in the red boxers has another pair of underpants on underneath it – you can just see the edge of the strap peeking out of the top. That was probably a good idea, given what can easily happen when dancing in a loose boxer. The proximity of so many half-naked people can have other unfortunate side-effects too. Supposedly one of the male extras got a little overexcited, with Adkins saying: "He was having a hard time in the heat hanging out with a bunch of scantily-clad ladies."
The sweat is real, both from going for it and the video being shot on an extremely warm day. "It did feel like a party when we were shooting the mimed performance, a crazy-ass party, dancing in a crowd with people all around," said Adkins. "Insane! It was awkward for people at first, but after the first hour it became this normalised thing and people were just kicking it. It was kind of hot that day, too."
Our hero can't take it anymore, and despite his discomfort doing so, is disrobing to fit in with everyone else. No! Don't do it! Just be yourself, dude – you don't need to conform.
Hang on, what? There's a girl over there doing the same thing. What a stroke of luck!
If you're watching this on YouTube, at this point it becomes completely obscured by stuff, which is a shame, as it's a happy ending – the pair of them pull their clothes back on, because to hell with conforming if it means being who you aren't, and they leave the party together with their hands in each other's back pockets.
So there we go. Heartfelt emotive masterpiece or three minutes of pervery with a nice soundtrack? Or neither, or both? This Victoria sponge has been swallowed, yet persists.

Divisions in Soccer Mirror Germany's Ills
Germany is presenting a united front as host nation for soccer's World Cup. But just as the country remains divided socially and economically between east and west, German soccer is also split along similar lines.
Since East beat West 1-0 in 1974, Germany's soccer divide has grown
When the World Cup kicks off in Germany next summer, the eyes of the world will turn to the host nation.
If everything goes to plan, the FIFA 2006 World Cup in Germany will be more than just a spectacle of soccer; it will be seen as an example of Germany's organizational prowess and a message to the world of what the once-divided nation can achieve now that east and west have been reunited.
Beyond the fanfares and flags, however, there's another reality. Germany's eastern and western regions are still far apart socially and economically and in some eyes, soccer has become a metaphor for the failure of the united Germany.
Just as eastern business and industry have suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall, so have the region's soccer clubs. East cannot match west. In the unified Germany, where money governs professional sports, eastern teams have sunk without sponsors and investment.
When Hansa Rostock was relegated on the final day of last season, it left the Bundesliga's top flight without any eastern representation. In the first full domestic season after unification, Hansa and Dynamo Dresden were launched into the top league of the Bundesliga and six others into the second division. Things have changed radically since the 1991 campaign. There are now no eastern teams in the first division and only four in the second.
Financial woes cause mediocrity
Once a proud and dominant team in the GDR, Dynamo Dresden has since dropped out of the professional game and those teams who survive find their finances slashed, unable to attract top-quality players. The TV budget for the Bundesliga has been slashed by 60 percent and the majority of the money generated gets shared out among the top clubs -- all from the west -- in the first division. The rest is thrown like scraps to the teams in the second division. Beyond that, it's every team for itself.
Just as unification led to a mass exodus of workers from the east to the west in the early 1990's, many soccer players from the GDR headed for the more fashionable and lucrative western clubs.
Matthias Sammer was the first player from the former GDR to play for the unified Germany team.
The GDR production line, built on intensive technical and physical training, was so proficient that after unification, some 500 players joined western clubs. By the mid-1990s, players like Matthias Sammer (photo, right), Jens Jeremies, Carsten Jancker and Alexander Zickler had formed the backbone of the national team.
"Soccer was a great tool for celebrating the successes of eastern-bloc politics back in the days of the GDR," said Kirk Schmidt, author of "OstKurve," a study on the history of soccer in East Germany.
"The state ensured that the young players were given the best training possible in the hope that their successes would bring glory," he said. "This backfired when the communist regime fell. The east had all these great players who then headed for the west and when the clubs found themselves losing money, they cashed in on anyone just to stay afloat."
State-supported training programs left to decay
But now the well of sought-after soccer players in the east is now running dry. That is not due to any lack of talent but rather because of a lack of financial support for youth programs and sports schools that, under the old communist regime, ensured talented youngsters would train twice a day, two hours at a time, and play regularly.
Germany's Kevin Kuranyi, Michael Ballack and Bernd Schneider, from left.
"The funding just dried up after 1990," Schmidt said. "That's why the Bundesliga and the national team have so few prominent eastern players. People like (Bayern Munich's) Michael Ballack and (Bayer Leverkusen's) Bernd Schneider were already on their way by then. Others weren't so lucky. The old GDR education system was allowed to decay."
Economic stagnation rules out cities from showpiece
Leipzig will have a new stadium for the 2006 World Cup after coming up with the necessary money to be awarded Host City status.
Such is the poor condition of some eastern cities' finances that some -- including Dresden, the state capital of Saxony -- which applied for World Cup 2006 Host City status failed to conform to World Cup directives set out by FIFA, world soccer's governing body, in areas such as transport facilities and overall infrastructure. As a result, out of the 12 host cities featuring games during the championships, only two of those are in the east of the country -- Berlin and Leipzig. That is despite attempts "to keep a geographical balance," according to David Noemi from Germany's World Cup Organizing Committee.
Fifteen years after reunification, questions are still being asked whether Germany is working as a unified country or not. In German soccer the answer is fairly clear. There may be no physical walls between them anymore but a divide certainly remains between east and west when it comes to all aspects of the beautiful game.

T he smell of ammonia and antiseptic assault me before I even cross the threshold of the sprawling gray building. I breathe deeply through my mouth; I cannot stand the smell of hospitals. It conjures up illness, pain, death.
At 17 years old, I have only ever come to hospitals to visit the sick. In high school, it only took a few "chesed hour" visits to realize that I would need a different venue to complete my credits — I was not, and would never be, a hospital-goer.
I simply didn't do well with the sickly. The sight of blood and tubes made me queasy and on a deeper level, illness frightened me. At 17, I was strong, muscles hewn from years of gymnastics and karate. I trusted my body to obey my commands. I pushed my limbs to the limit, running miles and miles, willing my body to fight its restrictions.
But in the muted, mint-green corridors, I learned how very fallible the body is, how little we can trust it. We humans are always at its mercy. That was a sobering thought.
Now, here I am, face-to-face with the unpredictable whims of the human body.
My mother and I made the hour-and-a-half trek from Long Island to visit my great-aunt in Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital. In silence we ride the glass-encased elevator to the Critical Care unit. I tell myself even though she's there, she'll surely be fine. Denial is powerful, and allows me to remain stoic.
In room 621, I glimpse a small movement beneath the hospital-issued sheets, a bird-like creature moaning in her sleep.
Without my realizing it, tears stream down my face, a giant lump that physically hurts forms in my throat.
No, this is not Aunt Mimi. This is a mistake.
This is not the woman who had her hair coiffed every Sunday, who took great efforts to maintain her long, strong nails, her pride. This is not the woman who painstakingly taught me Rummikub, bony, vein-lined fingers carefully combing the downturned, cream-colored tiles in an apartment smelling of potpourri and musty rooms. This is not the woman who would end every conversation with the words "Goodbye for now," an allusion to another, joy-filled meeting just around the corner.
This is not the woman whose starched lace tablecloths covered every surface in her home, who would slip chocolates surreptitiously into our pockets. This cannot possibly be the woman whose guest room bed was filled with a stash of teddy bears, an enormous collection amassed over five decades. There was a story behind every stuffed animal, and we never tired of hearing them.
This cannot possibly be the woman whose arm grasped mine every Shabbos, as we walked the ten-minute route to my home. She leaned on me, but I always knew it was she who had the strength.
That woman was alive, spirited, opinionated. That woman was meticulous in her appearance, in her speech.
The woman before me is a shell. The woman before me is dying.


Basic — most of nights in tents or rooms with shared WC, some nights in comfortable rooms.
Standard — most of nights in comfortable rooms, some nights in tents or rooms with shared WC.
Upgraded — all nights in comfortable rooms.
If you want not only see the beauties of the Russian winter, but also test yourself in the real polar expedition, we propose to the tour "Putorana plateau by snowmobiles". It's a real adventure in one of the most amazing places in Russia – Putorana plateau!
There are no roads and we will ride there by snowmobiles accompanied by the experienced park rangers of the Putorana Biosphere Reserve. After getting over more than 150 km by the frozen rivers and lakes, you will reach an absolutely wild place far away from the civilization. The intense excursion program will be appreciated even by very exacting tourists. You will see the region of icefalls and canyons, cross the overflow ices many kilometers long, ascend the edge of the plateau from where you will get an amazing panoramic view. In the evening, you can have a good rest at the only resort of the plateau with Russian banya (sauna) and taste the local cuisine. The host will show you his unique collection of the cultural and everyday life object of the local people. For the fishing lovers there will possibility to take all necessary equipment for the ice fishing. For those who are looking for the solitude, we suggest the walks in the taiga.
The weather there is very unpredictable and deceptive, that's why the tour can be called 'the expedition" and a real challenge. However, all brave hearts will be thanked by the possibility to visit this insufficiently explored plateau, to see the breathtaking landscapes and, of course, to observe the northern lights !
You will go to the Valyok port where our snowmobile tour starts. As during next 9 days there will no any shops, please, take care of the shopping in advance.
Check-up of the equipment and safety-awareness briefing. Departure by 2 persons in the special sledge behind the snowmobiles. The itinerary goes by the frozen lakes and rivers. Then you will cross the hummocky neck of land covered by forest-tundra. The snowmobile is driven by the experienced park rangers and the sledge are specially equipped for the extreme cold.
The resort "Bunisyak" is situated in the remote end of the Lama lake. It's surrounded by the mountains higher then 1000 metres. When it's sunny you can take the binoculars and observe the Putorana snow sheep, inscribed into the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The owner of the resort will show you his unique collection and tell you about the history of the Dolgans, shamans and the Nganasans.
Accommodation at the resort "Bunisyak"
In a company of the park rangers you will go by snowmobiles along the valley of the Hoicy river. The extension of the itinerary is about 50 km. This river is known for a big number of waterfalls that in winter turn to the icefalls. Firstly, you will drive the canyon and then you will cross a huge overflow about 10-12 km long.
We will ascent 630 meters above the sea level where you can see the picturesque icefall with the 30 metres height and 50 meters width. It's possible to come close to it fro making the rare photos of one of the most beautiful places of the Putorana plateau. Return to the resort in the evening.
You can do the ice fishing, go skiing or take special snow shoes - rackets.
The dinner with the Dolgans and the Nganasans traditional plates.
This day there will be the snowmobile excursion on the Bunisyak river that gave the name to the resort. Firstly, you will go on the Talaya river falling into the Bunisyak river. The approximate extension of the itinerary is about 45 km. Along the river's banks there are ice-covered canyons.
The water is so pure that you will see the fish in the ice-holes. After the fishing, return to the resort.
After the dinner, there will be an excursion to the unique ethnographic museum. Its collections consists of the objects of the everyday life and culture of the local people.
You will lift to the Putorana plateau on snowmobiles along the nameless stream. There is no any trails, so the possibility of this excursion depends on the weather and snow conditions. On the top of the plateau there will be the panoramic view. During years these places are not visited by someone. You have a chance to see the real wild nature 1150 metres above sea level ! If the weather is not good, the itinerary will be changed by another one.
Today there will be an interesting and intense itinerary (about 80 km). Firstly, 10 km on the frozen Lama lake. Then we go by the Bucharama river and ascend it (about 12 km). In the turning point we will on the Geological river, the confluent of the Bucharama river. There will be very breath-taking beautiful canyon and cascade of the icefalls.
Accommodation in the hotel "Norilsk"
We will go on snowmobiles along the banks of the river Amon-Yuryakh. the name of the river means on the Ewenki language "Deep stream". On its valley we will visit a lot of ice falls and great aufeis.
This day will be a reserve in case if the weather doesn't allow us to leave the city the first day or to make one of the excursions. If the weather is fine, you will have possibility to make another excursion on the plateau.
The return itinerary will be the same as the first day.
This day is a reserve one and it will be used if the weather won't allow us to start the snowmobiling the 1 day. If the weather is fine, this day you will have an excursion in the Norilsk city. You will get acquaintance with the history of the city and with the history of the Polar land development.
Norilsk is the northernmost city in the world located above the Arctic Circle (69° north). There the winter lasts more then 9 months a year. Moreover, there is no roads and railways. However, the city is still alive and is considered as a Russian nickel capital.

Having passed the 500 cat enclosure for outdoors sales milestone some time ago, and now well on our way to 550, we thought we'd put together a short history of how we've developed over the last six to seven years.
During that time we've moved from the Gold Coast to Carindale, then to Bribie Island for a short time, and finally up to Buderim, where we've bought a lovely house on the top right by Buderim Forest and the Falls. Of course these moves have necessitated time offline each time, which has slowed us down somewhat, but in spite of that we're powering along quite nicely. As most of us know from experience, the telcoes are not always terribly efficient – in fact, mostly not!
However, we continued to send lots of enclosure kits all over Australia as – we are a national company, not local. Being able to quote from customers' photos and measurements has enabled us to do this in a very cost effective way, and thus enable many cat lovers to install enclosures for their cats, whatever their location or budget.
The netting we use is UV treated 19mm square pre-stretched polyethylene. It is very strong and durable, and we offer a 10 year guarantee on our netting and 2 years on all fixings and zips. It comes in stone beige and black, and both colours are unobtrusive. We have used both colours in our half dozen enclosures in our homes and either colour works well.
Our enclosures are generally attached to an existing structure; e.g. a deck/patio or side of house (between the fence and the side of the house) and we ask prospective customers to send a couple of photos of the area to be enclosed, together with dimensions (height to eaves or deck/patio ceiling, length, width) and the number of entry zips they require.
One of the questions we're often asked is if our enclosures can be taken down and put up again. They certainly can, and we did this on a number of weekends when we were selling on of our houses on the Gold Coast and we were having "open homes".
However, if a customer is moving and wishes to take the netting, etc, with him or her we're happy to help with a redesign to fit the new situation, and also to supply any extra netting and fixings required.
Another question we're often asked by people who are renting is how the enclosures are attached to the house or fence, because, as we know, landlords aren't happy to have drill holes, however small, all over their properties – understandable!
In this situation we ask people to send the usual couple of photographs and dimension (height, length, width) and Ken will suggest where they can best situate their enclosure, using downpipes and hooks into the guttering where possible. This, more often than not, suits all concerned, especially the cats when they can get out into the fresh air!
Regarding snakes – as set out above, our netting is 19mm square so only a very small snake (a tree snake) could get through, and certainly not a carpet snake. I've had personal experience with a large carpet snake a number of years ago when it grabbed my five month old kitten. I actually had to pick up the whole "bundle" (snake wrapped around my baby!) and grapple with it. It finally let go and I threw it away, putting my back out in doing so.
Sam, my kitten, needed to be taken to the vet for a check-over and anti-inflammatory injection, and I needed to go to the doctor for a tetanus injection as, unbeknown to me in my terror, the snake had bitten me all up the arm. It was a horrible experience, so carpet snakes are naturally my main concern.

Q: Android custom animation Causes InflateException So, I created a xml animation:
view_slider.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fillAfter="true"
    android:duration="500"
    android:fromYDelta="100%"
    android:toYDelta="0%"
    >

</translate>

Now i am using it in one of my layouts:
   Other Layout :

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:emoticon="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:foreground="@color/transparent"
        android:layoutAnimation="@anim/**view_slider**"
         >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/vox_full_content_relativeLayout"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/voxpop_background"
            android:padding="5dp" >
            .......
            .......

And the app crashes with this stack :

I'm using the same xml file with a listview and the layout here is an item of that listview. The animations working fine for the listview.
Also, i'm using appcompat v7 library.
If i remove the android:layoutanimation line, the code works fine.
What am i doing wrong?!

A: use like this,
Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.view_slide);
                    getView().findViewById(R.id.review_store_type).startAnimation(shake);

Not inside XML.

A: Remove the animation from your xml and add an id of "@+id/frameLayout" to your FrameLayout that you want to animate, then do this in your code:
FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.frameLayout);
Animation viewSlider = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.view_slider);
frameLayout.startAnimation(viewSlider);

Predators sign Matt Duchene
Posted on July 2, 2019 by Anthony Caruso III	Leave a comment
By Anthony Caruso III | Publisher
The Nashville Predators have signed center Matt Duchene to a seven-year deal. His deal will be worth $56 million.
Duchene is now signed through the 2025-26 season with the Predators.
Matt Duchene looks on against the Chicago Blackhawks (Getty Images)
"Our objective this off season was to bolster our offense, and signing Matt Duchene gives us another dynamic goal-scoring, playmaking center," Predators GM David Poile said. "We are excited to add his skill and experience to our top-six forwards and look forward to the next seven years of Matt and his family in Smashville. Matt's love of country music and passion for the city of Nashville make this partnership a perfect fit."
Duchene was the third overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. He spent the first nine seasons with the Colorado Avalanche, before spending a year and a half with the Ottawa Senators.
He was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in February. Duchene was acquired for Vitaly Abramov and Jonathan Davidsson, along with a first-round draft pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and a conditional first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.
After being acquired by the Blue Jackets, he had four goals and eight assists for 12 points in 23 regular season games. He also had a -1 +/- and 2 PIM.
Three of his goals were even strength goals. His other goal came on the power play.
Before the trade, he had 27 goals and 31 assists for 58 points in 50 games with the Senators. He also had a -2 +/- and 6 PIM.
Duchene had 22 goals on even strength. He also had five power-play goals, including one game-winner.
In his career, he has appeared in 727 games. He has 232 goals with 315 assists for 547 points. He also has an -86 +/- and 166 PIM.
One hundred and seventy seven goals were scored on even strength. He also has 53 goals on the power play and two more on short-handed goals.
Thirty two goals have come as a game-winner.

A female engineer joins the Mr Men series, Little Miss Inventor
It was recently announced that a new character will be joining the Mr Men and Little Miss series and she is an engineer, Little Miss Inventor.
Little Miss Inventor, who has pencils and a spanner sticking out of her bright green curly hair, will become the 36th Little Miss character. She is the latest character creation in the beloved cartoon series by Roger Hargreaves and will join the likes of Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Magic.
In the information given, Little Miss Inventor is intelligent, ingenious and inventive. Her brain is full of ideas, which she turns into extraordinary inventions in a shed at the bottom of her garden. As well as inventing things for herself, she also invents things for her friends, whether it's a chatter-natter hat for Little Miss Chatterbox or a back- pack-snack-attack fridge for Mr. Greedy.
According to the BBC report, Adam Hargreaves, son of Mr Men and Little Miss creator Roger Hargreaves, said: "It's been nice to write a story that promotes a positive role model and to challenge a stereotype, if only in a small way."
It is hoped that Little Miss Inventor will bring fresh inspiration to children, to encourage them to think of a career in engineering as they grow up.
The new book will be launched on the 8th of March 2018, to coincide with International Woman's Day and British Science Week.
We will be launching a monthly series about inspiring women in industry in the next month, so keep an eye out for that.
Take a look at this article, the future is bright for women in engineering

The definition of pop music is purposefully flexible as the music that is identified as pop is constantly changing. At any particular point in time it may be easiest to identify pop music as that which is successful on the pop music charts. For the past 50 years the most successful musical styles on the pop charts have continually changed and evolved. However, there are some consistent patterns in what is identified as pop music.
It is tempting to confuse pop music with popular music. The New Grove Dictionary Of Music and Musicians, the musicologist's ultimate reference resource, identifies popular music as the music since industrialization in the 1800's that is most in line with the tastes and interests of the urban middle class.
This would include an extremely wide range of music from vaudeville and minstrel shows to heavy metal. Pop music, on the other hand, has primarily come into usage to describe music that evolved out of the rock 'n roll revolution of the mid-1950's and continues in a definable path to today.
Music Accessible To the Widest Audience
Since the mid-1950's pop music has usually been identified as the music and the musical styles that are accessible to the widest audience. This means the music that sells the most copies, draws the largest concert audiences, and is played most often on the radio. After Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" hit #1 on music charts in 1955 the most popular music became the records influenced by rock 'n roll instead of the songs and light standards that had dominated TV's Your Hit Parade weekly countdown show. Since 1955 the music that appeals to the widest audience, or pop music, has been dominated by sounds that are still rooted in basic elements of rock 'n roll.
Pop Music and Song Structure
One of the most consistent elements of pop music since the 1950's is the pop song. Pop music is not usually written, performed and recorded as a symphony, suite, or concerto. The basic form for pop music is the song and usually a song consisting of verse and repeated chorus. Most often the songs are between 2 1/2 minutes and 5 1/2 minutes in length. There have been notable exceptions. The Beatles' "Hey Jude" was an epic 7 minutes in length. However, in many cases, if the song is abnormally long, an edited version is released for radio airplay such as in the case of Don McLean's "American Pie." It was edited down from its original 8 1/2 minutes length to just over 4 minutes for radio airplay. On the other end of the spectrum, in the late 1950's and early 1960's some hit songs clocked in under 2 minutes in length.
The Pop Music Melting Pot
Like other art forms that aim to attract a mass audience (movies, television, Broadway shows), pop music has been and continues to be a melting pot that borrows and assimilates elements and ideas from a wide range of musical styles. Rock, r&b, country, disco, punk, and hip hop are all specific genres of music that have influenced and been incorporated into pop music in various ways over the past 5 decades. Most recently, Latin music seems to be impacting pop music more significantly than at any point in the past.
Pure Pop and Power Pop
Although pop music continues to be a melting pot of styles, there is a genre of pop music that claims to be pop music in its purest form. This music, usually called pure pop or power pop, typically consists of relatively brief (not over 3 1/2 minutes) songs played on the standard electric guitar, bass and drums with vocals that have a very strong catchy chorus, or hook. Art is not a concern. Audience pleasure in listening to the song is the primary goal.
Among the top pure pop or power pop performers of the past are the Raspberries, Cheap Trick and the Knack. Most recently, the Click Five have identified their style as "new school power pop."


Norman Killeen, who was the drummer for the band Threat Signal from 2007 until 2010, died last Thursday, August 25th at the age of 38, according to a family member.
A cause of death was not revealed by Killeen's brother-in-law, but Terry Fedirko, said the following (via Lambgoat), "With great sorrow and regret, Norman Killeen, my brother in-law, has tragically died yesterday at an age that is too young. As an ex-drummer for the heavy metal band Threat Signal, he lived his life in what he believed and loved.
"He left behind his sister Sherry, his father Norm, and his life long girl friend Nancy and his son Hayden. We will all sorely miss him. Now he belongs to the ages.... R.I.P.
As of early Tuesday morning, the band had not yet posted a statement on their Facebook page about Killeen's passing.


Jon is standing on a bridge over a creek. He releases a stone 20 feet from the water. How long will it take the stone to hit the water?
Gravity acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². or 32.2 feet/sec².
T = √(20/8.05) = 1.576 seconds.
No. I screwed up. 20 = (1/2)(32.2)(T-sqrd). / / / 20 = 16.1 T-sqrd. T= sqrt of (20/16.1) = 1.115 seconds. Forgive me.
could you please help with a problem, Jon takes a stone and tosses it straight up with a velocity of 30 feet per second. how long will it take this stone to hit the water?


Another year has passed and the countdown to a New Year has started!
As always, many will think about the year that has passed; and wonder if it could have been better. Don't we all start by looking at the past and promising ourselves that we will learn from it; and do things differently. Promises made to ourselves to put our finances in order; and then forgotten.
Or can 2011 be different?
Can we start the New Year with a resolution that can be 'implemented' and help us achieve our targets.
Here are some simple i-save pointers to help you make 2011 a successful financial year!
It's a good place to start. Review the year and do a quick check on your finances – what were your earnings, where did you spend it, did you meet your savings plans, what are your debts.
Do a simple check to assess your needs – both for expenses to maintain a healthy lifestyle; as well as savings – you may have long term goals e.g. having a retirement fund of a certain amount; buying a home; providing for your child, etc.
Use available tools and calculators to assess how much you will need to save to achieve these goals.
Now that you have reviewed your budget and assessed your needs, build a plan to achieve your goals. Focus on your goals – and how you will achieve these.
Here are some pointers to help you build an achievable plan.
If you set too ambitious a target the risk of not achieving is high – leading to many people being disappointed and giving up their goals altogether. Don't make that mistake. In order to be successful, your goals should be in small incremental steps so that you can achieve them. Achieving your goals will give you the confidence to do more and set bigger and more ambitious targets.
Now that you have an idea of what you need to do; fix and work on your goals.
Not tracking your monthly expenses or having a control over your spending will lead to a failure in achieving your financial goals. Having reviewed your past years income and expenses, set yourself some simple goals to track and control your expenses – a simple budget. Control your expenses and review them at least on a monthly basis to make sure that you have achieved your target.
Put your target and actual expenses under various "heads" of expenses and savings; and monitor using an excel or even on paper.
Regular saving and investment is critical to building wealth. Controlling your expenses so that you have some balance left for investment is a starting point. Set a goal for your monthly savings and make sure you monitor this. Make investments regularly – you will the benefit of compounding on your savings and see your savings multiply. It's also important that you plan for your "big spends" – try and make sure that this goes into your annual plan so you can save for it – and not have to take on expensive debt for your major purchases.
Look for the options available that can simplify or automate your savings – for example – a monthly sweep from your savings account to a fixed deposit; or a Mutual Fund SIP. Automating will help you maintain the monthly saving discipline.
Repaying your debts and becoming debt free is a very important step in becoming wealthy. Look at your outstanding debt – is there an outstanding on your credit card; personal loans; home loans.
The interest payments on loans will reduce your earnings from your savings – and may or may not impact your tax position e.g. interest payments on credit card or personals loans may not be written off against tax; whilst you will be liable to pay tax on your interest income.
Arrange your debt liabilities by interest cost (credit card outstandings are the most expensive) and make a plan to repay these over time. Set a goal for the year; and use your surplus cash to repay loans starting with the most expensive loans first. Most lenders will allow you to make partial prepayments without incurring any additional fees.
Reducing your debts will reduce your interest payments and free up cash used for repayments to add to your wealth.
Set a goal for your retirement savings. This should be a goal in itself and not linked to your other savings or investment goals. You may have other financial needs such as buying a home or your child's education that can eat into your savings. Your retirement fund is the corpus you will need to make sure that your retirement years are comfortable.
If your focus is on getting out of debt; invest any balance remaining after repaying your loans towards retirement savings.

Late Rally Denies U's
Walsall double enough to take points.
That looked like it could have been the winner but late goals from Tom Bradshaw and sub Matt Preston earned the Saddlers the 2-1 victory.
Alex Gilbey scored the only goal of the first half, heading home an Owen Garvan corner.
Two late goals have denied the U's a valuable win in heartbreaking style on Saturday.
Boss Kevin Keen made four changes to his starting line-up, bringing in Chris Porter, Gavin Massey, Nicky Shorey and Frankie Kent.
Tom Eastman, Matt Briggs, Macauley Bonne and Femi Akinwande were the quartet that missed out, with the latter two on the bench with Tom Lapslie, Richard Brindley, Darren Ambrose, Louis Dunne and keeper Dillon Barnes.
The game started with both sides wanting to get forward and it was the U's who had the first shot, with Massey's run ending with a shot wide of the target.
Elliot Lee then had a shot from the edge of the area blocked and Porter was denied by a low save as he headed goalwards from a U's corner.
Sawyers did have a shot wide for the hosts but it was the U's who would have been happier with the first ten minutes.
Alex Gilbey, who scored from distance last weekend, was given time and space to line up a shot but failed to test the home keeper from twenty five yards out.
Andy Taylor hit a free kick into the wall but his follow up shot was deflected wide for a corner, which came to nothing.
George Moncur was the next U's player to try his luck from distance, but like the others, couldn't find the target.
Lee then managed to get an attempt from closer in, but he was brilliantly tackled as he shot from ten yards out, with the keeper able to push it wide.
The corner was nervously punched out to Massey, but his volley was pushed away by the retreating Etheridge.
On the half hour mark, the hosts broke quickly, so quickly that Henry had to try his luck from a tight angle which Parish comfortably dealt with.
On thirty eight minutes, Owen Garvan won a superb challenge in midfield to release Moncur but his weak shot was straight into the hands of the home keeper.
With the first half in injury time, the U's opened the scoring from a left wing corner.
Garvan's set piece was perfect, as was Gilbey's run and header and Etheridge could only get fingertips to it on its way into the bottom corner.
That was the last action of the half, with the referee's whistle coming seconds after the hosts had restarted,
The expected reaction from the promotion chasing Saddlers never materialised at the start of the second half, with the U's keeping them comfortably at bay.
So much so, the hosts didn't have an effort at goal until the sixty fourth minute, with Henry shooting over from distance.
Before then, Massey was denied by Etheridge, who also had to be on his toes at his near post to snuff out some Elliot Lee danger.
The first time Parish was called into action was on seventy one minutes, when a Demetriou shot was hit straight at him.
Drey Wright was introduced two minutes later, with Lee going off, and then Darren Ambrose replaced George Moncur.
Joe Edwards, who had been outstanding at right back again, misjudged a diagonal ball and sub Lalkovic was in on the left.
The third and final change came on seventy eight minutes, with Macauley Bonne replacing Porter.
He couldn't find an effective ball into the box though and Hiwula awkwardly skied his effort over the bar.
It was looking like the U's were controlling things and were on their way to a rare win, with the hosts being kept at arm's length.
That changed in the eighty eighth minute though, as Tom Bradshaw pounced when finally given a couple of yards of space.
Frankie Kent took his eye off the Saddlers' top scorer for a second but it was enough for him to control and shoot past Parish to level things up.
That started a crazy few minutes to end the match, with the hosts now in the driving seat and looking for a winner.
It could have gone to the U's as well though, as Ambrose headed wide from a delightful Garvan pass to the far post.
Bradshaw forced an excellent save from Parish deep into injury time, but the relief was shortlived as Walsall scored from the resultant corner.
The first effort hit the bar and Garvan on the line, but sub Matt Preston lashed the ball home to the delight of the home crowd, who had become increasingly frustrated as the game wore on.
It was a cruel finish to the game for the valiant U's side, who in the past week had taken top teams to the wire but ended up with just one point from the two games against Wigan and Walsall.

Where Is The Headquarters Of Walmart Located?
A Walmart storefront in Truro, Canada.
Walmart Inc is an American retail corporation that operates several hypermarkets, grocery stores, and department stores. Walmart has its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton and incorporated in October 1969. As of September 2019, Walmart operated 11,390 stores and clubs in 27 countries. The company operates as Walmart in Canada and the US, Walmart de México y Centroamérica in Latin America, Asda in the UK, and Seiyu in Japan. It also operates in India, Argentina, South Africa, and Chile. Walmart is the largest company by revenue and the world's largest employer, with over 2.2 million employees. The Walton family owns 50% of the company while the rest is publicly traded. The company listed on the NYSE in 1972, and by 1988 it was the most profitable retailer in the country. It was initially limited to the South and the Lower Midwest, but by the early 1990s, it had stores across the country. Though the company and its subsidiaries have thrived in the United States, United Kingdom, China, and Central and South America, it failed in South Korea and Germany.
Incorporation And Growth
Walmart opened its first headquarters and distribution center in Bentonville, Arkansas, in 1970. It operated 38 stores with about 1,500 employees and $44.2 million in sales. It began trading stocks in October 1970 and listed on the NYSE thereafter. By May 1971, the retailer was operating in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Walmart proliferated in the 1980s, and by 1987, it operated more than 1,100 stores and generated sales of over $15.9 billion. In 1991, Walmart and Mexican retail, Cifra, opened Sam's Club in Mexico City, marking the first venture outside the US.
Walmart has its headquarters at the Walmart Home Office Complex in Bentonville, Arkansas. The retailer's model is based on selling products at low prices. The company's employees are known as associates, while all stores in Canada and the United States have designated "greeters" to welcome customers at the entrance. All Walmart employees wear uniforms to distinguish them from customers and make them easily identifiable to those requiring help. Walmart also allows customers to purchase goods online with an option to ship free. In September 2017, the retailer announced that it would construct a new headquarters in Bentonville to replace the current building that was built in 1971.
Bentonville is the seat of Benton County and the 9th largest city in Arkansas. It is home to the headquarters of Walmart Inc. It is a city of approximately 50,000 people. The retailer dominates the economy of the city as it has attracted over 1,200 vendors who have established regional sales offices within the metropolis. In 2017, Livability ranked Bentonville the best city for entrepreneurs in the United States.

The Walls of Jerusalem National park forms part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area along with the Wild Rivers, Cradle Mountain and the Southwest Conservation area. The region is an alpine wilderness dominated by dolerite peaks and alpine vegetation. In this image you can see Cushion Plants, Pencil Pines and the wonderful and colourful Richea Scoparia.
The main purpose of my visit to the Walls on this occasion was to capture the Scoparia flowering. While it does flower every year a spectacular display is produced in every second year. The time of flowering varies but is generally between mid December and mid January. For the rest of the year its an ugly little prickly bush, although in the South West it can grow beyond 3 Metres in height.
Have a look in the Gallery for my �Herods Gate� image that capture the mood of the Walls and has lovely display of Scoparia. The Park is very exposed to the extremes of Tasmania's changeable weather and there are no visitor facilities in the remote area.

Huber's Campaign
Posted on October 29, 2010 by Mike
In February of this year, Bob Huber announced his candidacy for Mayor with one caveat. According to the article in the Simi Valley Acorn…
What may be surprising is the caveat that comes along with his candidacy. He said he would not run if Paul Miller decides to run for reelection. But Huber hinted that he didn't think the current mayor would seek a fourth term.
"Many people are under the impression that Mayor Miller is not going to seek reelection," Huber said. "If he chooses to retire, I will run, and should he run again, I will support his reelection."
Despite taking a position to support Mayor Miller should he run again, political opportunity eventually struck and Huber's position flipped. Now he claims the Council consists of failed leadership, "reactive" behavior, and believes Mayor Miller and the Council have been asleep at the wheel. When the Council asks Huber where he's been during the so-called passive years, he and his supporters take offense. But in Huber's own words, he's been a proactive adviser to our leadership for quite some time:
"But with the state taking more redevelopment funds, revenues down and economic pressures on the people of Simi Valley, I realized I could no longer sit on the sidelines and quietly advise city and community leaders. It is time to step up."
Bob Huber believes our City and its leaders require an overhaul and he believes he's the man for the job. He doesn't seem to understand much about the landfill expansion, but he's quick to publish fear-inducing ads about it. He promises more jobs with E-Verify, though with no audit program, no plan for enforcement and no way to produce measurable positive results. He disregards the fact that our City produces a balanced budget every year despite economic challenges because it doesn't fit with his campaign message. It seems like he wants us to vote for headlines and sound bites.
I have a real concern for this City and I want the best for it. I believed in Bob Huber several months ago. Though I disagreed with him on the effectiveness of his E-Verify proposal, I believed his heart was in the right place and that he was truly in it for the City. I had many long conversations with his strongest supporters to make sure I made an informed decision on who to vote for. Ultimately, I believe a few of his supporters and some members of his campaign misled me and let me down. Shortly afterward, his campaign launched their aggressive anti-City Hall slams that, when closely examined, are blatantly misleading and sometimes outright false. I now believe Bob Huber is NOT in it for the City but is in it for himself. I cannot support such a candidate in good conscience no matter how much momentum he may have among the people I look up to and respect as community leaders. That's a fact that I'll get a lot of flack for admitting.
Under Paul Miller's leadership as Mayor, I believe our City has a lot to be proud of. I believe we are fiscally stable despite outside economic challenges. We have a community where we can safely and comfortably raise our children. We do NOT have a Mayor who has conducted "secret" backroom deals, or one who refers to our city as "America's Dump." I feel that Huber's message is that a vote for Bob is a vote for sending Paul Miller into retirement as a Mayor who dropped the ball, and that's a message that I reject without hesitation.

What is a PCC?
FESTUS AKINBUSOYE
Conservative PCC Candidate welcomes Quality Mark Award
Updated: Mar 6, 2020
Bedfordshire's Office of Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) has been awarded the 2020 CoPaCC Open and Transparent Quality Mark for excellence in making statutory information readily and easily accessible to the public.
Comparing Police and Crime Commissioners (CoPaCC) is an organisation that aims for excellence in policing governance and publishes the influential journal Policing Insight. This year's evaluation of the Offices of Police and Crime Commissioners (OPCCs) went further than previous assessments by adopting a 'mystery shopper' approach. PCCs are required to provide to the public, information such as, who they are, what they do, how public money is spent and on what, key priorities and how they are performing etc
The Home Office has made clear that "The public need independent, consistent and clear information on the performance and activities of their PCC. Transparency is essential to promote confidence in the elected PCC. A consistent minimum amount of evidence will also allow the public to compare the performance of their PCC with PCCs elsewhere."
Commenting on this award, Conservative candidate for Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Festus Akinbusoye said:
"I am delighted with this award, and to see police governance in Bedfordshire being recognised accordingly. One of my five campaign pledges is to lead a Bedfordshire Police that is open and transparent so that public trust in what we do as a Force continues to grow. As your Police and Crime Commissioner, I will ensure that openness remains a key pillar of policing in our county"
Conservative PCC Candidate backs new laws on illegal encampments.
Bedfordshire Police set to receive an additional £6.9m next year
Next Step: Tory PCC candidate announces programme for Drug and Alcohol related offenders.

More winter shelters to come for Vancouver's homeless
ctvbc.ca Published Tuesday, November 23, 2010 5:04PM PST
The B.C. government has announced $1.5 million in funding for four new temporary winter emergency shelters for the homeless, but critics say the measures don't go far enough.
"This will ensure people have a safe, warm, dry place to sleep during this winter season," Solicitor General Rich Coleman said in a release announcing the new cold weather shelters.
The locations for the new sites have yet to be announced, but they will close for the season by the end of April.
The City of Vancouver is pitching in $500,000 for building operations, and Mayor Gregor Robertson is applauding the province's initiative.
"The investment they are making in difficult economic times will make a real difference for people who need it the most," he said.
But the opposition NDP says that what is really needed is a permanent urgent response centre, particularly to help the addicted and mentally ill living on the streets.
"It has been a recommendation of the Vancouver Police Department and of health officials and of people concerned with health and homelessness issues for years," health critic Adrian Dix said.
In the meantime, there are band-aid solutions to the cold, like dozens of donated sleeping bags from the Lotus Light Charity Society. They're being handed out by Vancouver police officers until they run out.
"This sleeping bag is really going to help -- totally going to help," Chanda Gauchir said after receiving hers.
Monday night was one of the coldest on record for the date, down to a very un-Vancouver minus 18 with the wind chill.
Nobody was feeling the deep freeze more than Vancouver's homeless.
Kevin McGlynn said he kept warm by "basically just walking around and shivering and stuff like that. Someone gave me a pair of thin gloves -- that helped a little bit."
The Vancouver Police Department says that existing shelters were only 75 per cent full on Monday night, so officers were out on the beat the next morning spreading the word that warm space is still available.
About 500 homeless people were unaware of or declined refuge last night, according to VPD estimates.

'Bachelor' Finalist Rachael Kirkconnell Opens Up About Racism Controversy
Rachael Kirkconnell — "The Bachelor" contestant who sparked the racism controversy this season due to her past — says she's making changes for the better, and telling her defenders to stand down.
Rachael — who's one of the remaining finalists still vying for Matt James' final rose — says she's going to use her platform and privilege to amplify voices in the fight against racism.
She specifically calls on white people to step up, take accountability and work toward "racial progress and unity" … which simply starts with being vocal, not staying silent.
Rachael has a lot more to say, but concludes by telling people who are excusing or defending her past behavior to "please stop." She doesn't mention host Chris Harrison by name … but, of course, his staunch defense of Rachael is why he won't be on the 'After the Final Rose' reunion episode.
As we've reported … it was Harrison's excusing of Rachael's actions — and historical racism in general — that landed him in hot water and led to him apologizing and stepping away from the show.
It's unclear when or if he'll return to the franchise, but the controversy's clearly not going away anytime soon.
BTW, Rachael's post certainly fuels rumors Matt picked her in the end. So, now the question: is this mea culpa video intended for the 'Bachelor' audience … or Matt?

Q: MVC .NET "Edit" button choose right method I'm following this tutorial >> http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc4/examining-the-edit-methods-and-edit-view
And i got a question that makes me puzzled!
In my controller class "MoviesController" I got a method Edit and an overload, one of these methods is used when the user start to editing a record and another used to post the changes.
My question is how the page knows which method it must calls, I know that's using the parameters, but looking to code I didn't find anything that could track the request.
Here goes the code:
Edit.cshtml
@model SmartJob.Models.Movie

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
}

Edit

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

Movie

        @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ID)

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Title, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Title)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Title)

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ReleaseDate, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ReleaseDate)

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Genre, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Price, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Price)

                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            return View(movie);
        }

A: By default, any requests without an attribute of [HttpGet] or [HttpPost] will be a GET method. You must specify that the method is a [HttpPost] if you are posting against the method(Aka submitting some type of form)
Notice that there is no [HttpGet] or [HttpPost] specified in your first Edit method. Thus it will default to [HttpGet]
// GET: /Movies/Edit/5
        public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
        {
            if (id == null)
            {
                return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
            }
            Movie movie = db.Movies.Find(id);
            if (movie == null)
            {
                return HttpNotFound();
            }
            return View(movie);
        }

Now notice how this method has a tag of [HttpPost]. You can also specify other verbs such as [HttpPut], [HttpDelete] and many more if you need to, but these are the most popular that are used. Also notice that you have the [Bind()] method. This is used to prevent sending "Too" much data when you might only want to update a few fields of the object.
        // POST: /Movies/Edit/5
        // To protect from overposting attacks, please enable the specific properties you want to bind to, for

        public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include="ID,Title,ReleaseDate,Genre,Price")] Movie movie)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                db.Entry(movie).State = EntityState.Modified;
                db.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            return View(movie);
        }

A: It uses Http verbs to know which method to call. When you submit a form, it looks for an action with the HttpPost attribute, because it is a POST request. The first action has not verb specified, so the default verb used for it is HttpGet, so you get in using an url defined by your routes (like Movies/Edit/5).

A: It knows via a few things.
The first is on the second Edit action it has been marked as [HttpPost], this tells ASP.NET router to ignore it completely if the request is any other method besides POST. You can mark the first method as [HttpGet] also to make this a little more explicit. (Methods that aren't explicitly marked will respond to all requests to them, so you could to a POST to the first edit with an ID field and it will respond.)
The second is the model that's passed. ActionResult overloads work exactly as a normal function overload, that is that it will automatically pick the function that matches the input. (The [Bind] is just syntactical sugar for the model deserializer so that you can prevent specific database fields from being updated via specific forms.)
The thing that can trip you up is if it can not deserialize the model to the expected type you will get a run time error.

A: [HttpPost] is an ActionMethodSelectorAttribute which MVC will utilize to determine the correct action method to select based on the HTTP verb in the request.
Additionally MVC will deduce the correct action to call if you have the same action name with different parameters based on the http request parameters... ex:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ActionName() {...}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ActionName(string aParameter) {...}

The impact of urbanisation on the south-western snake-necked turtle (Chelodina colliei
Santoro, Anthony (2017) The impact of urbanisation on the south-western snake-necked turtle (Chelodina colliei. Honours thesis, Murdoch University.
Urbanisation is one of the most influential forms of land use change globally and continues to apply increasing pressure on biodiversity. Freshwater turtles are one of the most endangered vertebrate groups with current assessments suggesting 45-50% of all species are under threat. The habitat alteration caused by urbanisation has been identified as one of the main threats to freshwater turtle populations, but there have been relatively few studies that have quantified its impact. The status of Chelodina colliei, a turtle endemic to south-western Australia, in the urban wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain (SCP) remains largely unknown. However, recent studies that have occurred in a limited number of wetlands on the SCP have suggested the populations may be experiencing declines. The overall aim of this study was to assess the impact of land use modification caused by urbanisation on C. colliei populations. It was predicted that increasing levels of urbanisation around wetlands would result in reduced abundances and modified population structures. Specific aims were to quantify the land use surrounding a sub-set of wetlands on the SCP, determine the abundance and population structure of C. colliei in those wetlands, and determine the association between land use and turtle populations. Thirty-five wetlands were sampled for C. colliei using modified funnel traps between October 2016 and February 2017. Surrounding land use of these wetlands was assessed and classified into different types, within three perimeters (50, 300, and 500 m from the water's edge) using Google Earth Pro. Principal Component Analysis was used to assess if surrounding land use differed between wetlands and to classify wetlands as either natural or modified. ANOSIMs were used to assess if the categories were significantly different in all perimeters. The population structures of C. colliei were compared between wetland types using Mann Whitney U tests. Model averaging was used to identify the most influential land use variables on the relative abundance of C. colliei. The study found that wetlands grouped dichotomously based upon surrounding land use, with natural having over 50% of the surrounding land use as bushland, whereas modified wetlands had less than 50%. Chelodina colliei population abundances and structures differed between those groups, with greater abundances and population viability in natural wetlands. The availability and accessibility of fringing bushland was the most important land use variable associated with the relative abundance of C. colliei. The positive association with bushland was likely due to it providing suitable nesting sites for C. colliei. This study increases our understanding of the status of C. colliei in urban wetlands and demonstrates, for the first time, that surrounding land use has a direct effect. It has important implications for wetland management and suggests protection and restoration of fringing bushland around urban wetlands is crucial for enhancing the viability of remnant C. colliei populations.
