Three decades ago, the highest honor at the Academy Awards was given to a movie about a white passenger learning to love her black chauffeur. Sunday night, the same award was given to a film about a white chauffeur learning to love his black passenger. We look at Hollywood's obsession with fantasies of racial reconciliation.

Q: How to convert a stream to enhanced loop I have started working with Java 8 and trying to convert some stream to enhanced loop.
So, for the example, I'm trying to convert this stream to for loop. but, I'm not getting it right:
List<Job> jobs = shipment.getJobs();
Job shoppingJob = jobs.stream().filter(job -> job.isShopping()).findFirst().orElse(null);
Job deliveryJob = jobs.stream().filter(job -> job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger()).findFirst().orElse(null);

I want to know if it is possible to convert the above example to enhanced for loop. so far, I try to convert my for-loop code like this:
 List<Job> jobs = shipment.getJobs();
 Job shopping job = null;
 Job delivery job = null;
 Job rangerJob = null;
    if(jobs != null || jobs.isEmpty()) {
        for (Job job: jobs) {
            if (job.isShopping()) {
                shoppingJob = job;
            } else {
                if (job.isDelivery()) {
                    deliveryJob = job;
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: You should use break for findFirst function.
Below part is finding shoppingJob with breaking.
Job shoppingJob = null;
if (jobs != null || jobs.isEmpty()) {
    for (Job job : jobs) {
        if (job.isShopping()) {
            shoppingJob = job;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Below part is finding deliveryJob with breaking
Job deliveryJob = null;
if (jobs != null || jobs.isEmpty()) {
    for (Job job : jobs) {
        if (job.isShopping() || job.isRanger()) {
            deliveryJob = job;
            break;
        }
    }
}

But you wants to find with one foor loop , you can also do like this;
if (jobs != null || jobs.isEmpty()) {
    for (Job job : jobs) {
        if (!shoppingJobFound && job.isShopping()) {
            shoppingJob = job;
            shoppingJobFound = true;
        }
        if (!deliveryJobFound && (job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger())) {
            deliveryJob = job;
            deliveryJobFound = true;
        }
        if (shoppingJobFound && deliveryJobFound) {
            break;
        }
    }
}

A: The point of findFirst is that the Stream pipeline will only evaluate elements of the Stream until it finds the first matching element (that passes your filter).
When you convert that to a for loop, you should break from the loop once you find a match. However, since you are transforming two Stream pipelines to a single for loop, you should only break from the loop after you find matches for both conditions.
List<Job> jobs = shipment.getJobs();
Job shoppingJob = null;
Job deliveryJob = null;
if (jobs != null) {
    for (Job job : jobs) {
        if (shoppingJob == null && job.isShopping()) { // this is the first shopping job
            shoppingJob = job;
            if (deliveryJob != null) { // we can break after finding a match for both conditions
                break;
            }
        }
        if (deliveryJob == null && (job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger())) { // this is the first delivery or range job
            deliveryJob = job;
            if (shoppingJob != null) { // we can break after finding a match for both conditions
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: I can see a couple of issues with the code you've posted. This is the code that should do what you're after
    if(jobs != null) {
        for (Job job : jobs) {
            if (shoppingJob == null && job.isShopping()) {
                shoppingJob = job;
            }
            else if (deliveryJob == null && (job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger())) {
                deliveryJob = job;
            }
        }
    }

So the things that needed to change:
1). The second part of your very first if condition would throw a NullPointerException if the jobs list was null. You had
if(jobs != null || jobs.isEmpty()) {

Which translates to: if jobs isn't null go into the block, or if jobs is null call isEmpty() on jobs (and calling isEmpty() on null will throw a NullPointerException). The isEmpty() is also redundant, as you pointed out in comments.
Instead, I think this is all you need
    if(jobs != null) {

2). You need to make sure the variables shoppingJob and deliveryJob don't get overwritten once they've been assigned a value once, if you want to have something equivalent to findFirst() from the Stream code.
Otherwise if there's more than one shopping job or more than one delivery job in the list, those variables will actually end up assigned the last matching job in the list and not the first. This is why the first part of these conditions is necessary i.e. in this example, the shoppingJob == null bit
if (shoppingJob == null && job.isShopping()) {

3). There's no need to write an if nested inside an else clause, you can just use else if if you need a conditional else statement. Although in this case, to match the logic exactly, you shouldn't use else at all (in the original Streams code, if a job returned true for isShopping and isDelivery, the same job could be assigned to both variables, but if you use an else here that could only ever be assigned to one)
So instead of this
else {
          if (deliveryJob == null && (job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger())) {

You can just use an if statement (with no else)
if (deliveryJob == null && (job.isDelivery() || job.isRanger())) {

4). Lastly, in the original code, you are trying to replicate, deliveryJob was assigned to a job that returned true for either isDelivery() or isRanger(). In your for loop code, you were only checking isDelivery()
Hope that helps.

A: Solved. Thanks
I just need to put null checking in each condition for shoppingJoband deliveryJob. It will be:
 List<Job> jobs = shipment.getJobs();
    Job shoppingJob = null;
    Job deliveryJob = null;
    Job rangerJob = null;
    for (Job job : jobs) {
        if (shoppingJob == null && job.isShopping()) {
            shoppingJob = job;
        }
        if (deliveryJob == null && (job.isDelivery())) {
            deliveryJob = job;
        }
    }

Q: How to put multiple elements in columns I'm making a map of the United States where when you click on a state, you have to answer the state capital. I am using 3 columns to keep track of the answers. One column is correct answers, the second is incorrect, and the third is states unanswered. I have it set up so far that when an answer is correct it can go into the first column, and same with the second column. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make all of the state names start in the third "unanswered column". Here is my code so far:

var alts = "";

function loadMap() {
    var map = document.getElementById("statemap");
    map.addEventListener("click", function(evt) {
        var alt = evt.target.alt;
        alts = alt;
        var id = evt.target.id;
        ids = id;
        document.getElementById('divIdMessage').innerHTML = "What is the capital of " + evt.target.id + "?";
    });
}

function shows() {
    document.getElementById("divIdMessage").innerHTML = "Click on a state to get started."

}

function show() {
    document.getElementById("text").value = "";
    document.getElementById('divIdAnswer').innerHTML = "";
}

function checkAnswer() {
    if (!alts) {
        document.getElementById("divIdAnswer").innerHTML = "Must click on a state first.";
        return;
    }
    var submittedAnswer = document.getElementById('text').value;
    var correctAnswer = alts;
    if (submittedAnswer == correctAnswer) {
        document.getElementById('divIdAnswer').innerHTML = "Good job, that is correct!";
        document.getElementById('divCorrect').innerHTML += ids + "
";
    } else if (submittedAnswer != correctAnswer) {
        document.getElementById('divIdAnswer').innerHTML = "I'm sorry, that is incorrect. The correct answer is: " + alts + ".";
        document.getElementById('divIncorrect').innerHTML += ids + "
"
    }

    alts = "";

}
.column {
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    width: 300px;
 height: 200px;
    border: 0px;
    box-sizing: border-box;

A: You can use a for-loop to iterate through #statesmap's children:
var unansColumn = document.getElementById("divNone");
var states = document.getElementById("statemap").children;
var stateName;
var tmpStateDiv;
for (var i = 0; i < states.length; i++) {
    state = states[i];
    stateName = state.getAttribute('id');
    tmpStateDiv = document.createElement('DIV');
    tmpStateDiv.setAttribute('id', 'unanswered' + stateName);
    tmpStateDiv.appendChild(document.createTextNode(stateName));
    unansColumn.appendChild(tmpStateDiv);
}

An advantage of this approach is that it doesn't just work for the US; if you changed the map to a map of Canada, and updated your #statesmap div to list the Canadian states instead, it should work just fine with no modifications.

var alts = "";

function resetColumns() {
  var state;
  var stateName;
  var tmpStateDiv;
  var states = document.getElementById('statemap').children;
  var corColumn = document.getElementById('divCorrect');
  var incorColumn = document.getElementById('divIncorrect');
  var unansColumn = document.getElementById('divNone');
  corColumn.innerHTML = '';
  incorColumn.innerHTML = '';
  for (var i = 0; i < states.length; i++) {
    state = states[i];
    stateName = state.getAttribute('id');
    //unansColumn.innerHTML += "
" + state.getAttribute('id') + "
"; <-- bad code, bad bjonnfesk
    /*----------------------*/
    //instead, do:
    tmpStateDiv = document.createElement('DIV'); //create a new element of type div, into which we will put the name of the state we are processing...
    tmpStateDiv.setAttribute('id', 'unanswered' + stateName); //set its id to 'unanswered' + name of the state, for instance 'unansweredOregon' (to avoid an id conflict). It needs to have an id so that we can remove it later, when the state is answered.
    tmpStateDiv.appendChild(document.createTextNode(stateName)); //write the name of the state to the element
    unansColumn.appendChild(tmpStateDiv); //finally, add the entire div element to the list of unanswered states
  }
}

function removeFromUnanswered(id) {
  var unansweredStates = document.getElementById('divNone');
  //unansweredStates.removeChild(unansweredStates.querySelector('#' + id)); <--here a modification is also necessary:
  unansweredStates.removeChild(unansweredStates.querySelector('#unanswered' + id)); //otherwise, since we changed the ids of the states in the unanswered column, our querySelector would not match the state when it is time for it to be removed.
}

  var map = document.getElementById("statemap");
  map.addEventListener("click", function(evt) {
    var alt = evt.target.alt;

I also took the liberty of correcting some other problems in your code, which has, among other things, caused your background-color property (misspelled as background_color) to take effect.
Edit 1: I assume you also wish to have the answered states removed from the unanswered column upon being answered. Add this function to your script, for instance just above loadMap():
function removeFromUnanswered(id) {
  var unansweredStates = document.getElementById("divNone");
  unansweredStates.removeChild(unansweredStates.querySelector("#unanswered" + id));
}

...and then call that function after checking the answer in checkAnswer:
function checkAnswer() {
  ...
  alts = "";
  removeFromUnanswered(ids);
}

Edit 2: Replaced bad code and improved formatting. The new code is explained by comments and is much more readable than the old code.

A: use a percentage width for the .column instead of a fixed wone
.column{ width : 33.33%; }

var alts = "";

function loadMap() {
  var map = document.getElementById("statemap");
  map.addEventListener("click", function(evt) {
    var alt = evt.target.alt;
    alts = alt;
    var id = evt.target.id;
    ids = id;
    document.getElementById('divIdMessage').innerHTML = "What is the capital of " + evt.target.id + "?";
  });
}

function shows() {
  document.getElementById("divIdMessage").innerHTML = "Click on a state to get started."

}

function show() {
  document.getElementById("text").value = "";
  document.getElementById('divIdAnswer').innerHTML = "";
}

function checkAnswer() {
  if (!alts) {
    document.getElementById("divIdAnswer").innerHTML = "Must click on a state first.";
    return;
  }
  var submittedAnswer = document.getElementById('text').value;
  var correctAnswer = alts;
  if (submittedAnswer == correctAnswer) {

    document.getElementById('divIdAnswer').innerHTML = "I'm sorry, that is incorrect. The correct answer is: " + alts + ".";
    document.getElementById('divIncorrect').innerHTML += ids + "

  }

A:
Start by printing out the names of all the states. Do that by creating
  an array by iterating your DOM. Print that array. When the user
  submits an answer, delete that answer from your array then re-print
  the array.

MoviePass Debacle Proves the Fundamentals Matter
by Joshua Enomoto | Breaking News
One of the saddest tales of this year has got to be Helios & Matheson Analytics (NASDAQ:HMNY). The IT service management company, which owns subsidiary MoviePass, suffered an intractably horrific loss. Over the past three months, HMNY stock lost a mind-numbing 99% of market value.
Practically speaking, the company is worthless. If you had to be precise, Helios & Matheson shares are worth $85,900. While they're currently listed on the Nasdaq exchange, that will change very shortly. I think they'll be lucky to be listed over-the-counter.
This company is now the very definition of what Jordan Belfort referred to as "dogsh-t" in the film, The Wolf of Wall Street.
But of course, humans love the dogsh-t, don't we? The intrepid among us discount-dive for these opportunities. On the surface, I can see their rationale. The MoviePass subscription service jumped from 20,000 subscribers in August 2017 to three million last June.
And despite the impact of streaming-content services, the movie industry is still viable. This year will likely produce the biggest box-office haul in recent memory. As an "outbound" entertainment form, movies represent affordable escapism. Plus, HMNY stock was once trading at hundreds of dollars per pop.
MoviePass and its parent Helios & Matheson supposedly has the right ingredients for contrarian success.
Unfortunately, MoviePass had a Fatal Flaw
Although MoviePass demonstrated strong popularity, the demand came at a cost. To achieve their multimillion-subscriber haul, the parent company had to drop pricing from $45 to $9.95 per month. But at that rate, management couldn't sustain the business model.
That's because at $9.95, Helios & Matheson was paying full retail price for movie tickets. According to MarketWatch, it cost the company "$136 million to generate just $47 million in subscription revenues." Furthermore, cineplex operators could bypass MoviePass by simply offering their own iteration.
But it became readily apparent that MoviePass and HMNY stock was going to stumble last fiscal year. In 2017, cost of goods sold jumped from $4.86 million in the prior year to $20.54 million. Gross margin slipped from 28% to -96.7% over the same time frame.
The situation eroded quickly in the company's first-quarter earnings report. Still, some people were betting on MoviePass and HMNY stock, taking signals from the technical charts.
While I'm a big proponent of the technical approach, the fundamentals always matter. If the financials are available to you (and why shouldn't they be?), you must assess them.
The money that you'll save will be yours.

Although the Stars and Stripes originated in 1777, it was not until 146 years later that there was a serious attempt to establish a uniform code of etiquette for the U.S. flag. On Feb. 15, 1923, the War Department issued a circular on the rules of flag usage. These rules were adopted almost in their entirety June 14, 1923, by a conference of 68 patriotic organizations in Washington, D.C. Finally, on June 22, 1942, a joint resolution of Congress, amended by Public Law 94-344, July 7, 1976, codified "existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag . .
When to Display the Flag—The flag should be displayed on all days, especially on legal holidays and other special occasions, on official buildings when in use, in or near polling places on election days, and in or near schools when in session. Citizens may fly the flag at any time. It is customary to display it only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. It may be displayed at night, however, on special occasions, preferably lighted. The flag now flies over the White House both day and night. It flies over the Senate wing of the Capitol when the Senate is in session and over the House wing when that body is in session. It flies day and night over the east and west fronts of the Capitol, without floodlights at night but receiving illumination from the Capitol Dome. It flies 24 hours a day at several other places, including the Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore, where it inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner." The flag also flies 24 hours a day, properly illuminated, at U.S. Customs ports of entry.
Flying the Flag at Half-Staff—Flying the flag at half-staff, that is, halfway up the staff, is a signal of mourning. The flag should be hoisted to the top of the staff for an instant before being lowered to half-staff. It should be hoisted to the peak again before being lowered for the day or night.
As provided by presidential proclamation, the flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days from the day of death of a president or former president; for 10 days from the day of death of a vice president, chief justice or retired chief justice of the U.S., or speaker of the House of Representatives; from day of death until burial of an associate justice of the Supreme Court, cabinet member, former vice president, Senate president pro tempore, or majority or minority Senate or House leader; for a U.S. senator, representative, territorial delegate, or the resident commissioner of Puerto Rico, on day of death and the following day within the metropolitan area of the District of Columbia and from day of death until burial within the decedent's state, congressional district, territory or commonwealth; and for the death of the governor of a state, territory, or possession of the U.S., from day of death until burial.
On Memorial Day, the flag should fly at half-staff until noon and then be raised to the peak. The flag should also fly at half-staff on Korean War Veterans Armistice Day (July 27), National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (Dec. 7), and Peace Officers Memorial Day (May 15).
How to Fly the Flag—The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously and should never be allowed to touch the ground or the floor. When the flag is hung over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a building to a pole, the union should be away from the building. When the flag is hung over the center of a street the union should be to the north in an east-west street and to the east in a north-south street. No other flag may be flown above or, if on the same level, to the right of the U.S. flag, except that at the United Nations Headquarters the UN flag may be placed above flags of all member nations and other national flags may be flown with equal prominence or honor with the flag of the U.S. At services by Navy chaplains at sea, the church pennant may be flown above the flag.
When 2 flags are placed against a wall with crossed staffs, the U.S. flag should be at right—its own right, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag; when a number of flags are grouped and displayed from staffs, it should be at the center and highest point of the group.
Church and Platform Use—In an auditorium, the flag may be displayed flat, above and behind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church or in a public auditorium, the flag should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the speaker's right as she or he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the speaker or to the right of the audience.
When the flag is displayed horizontally or vertically against a wall, the stars should be uppermost and at the observer's left.
When used to cover a casket, the flag should be placed so that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. It should not be lowered into the grave nor touch the ground.
How to Dispose of Worn Flags—When the flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
When to Salute the Flag—All persons present should face the flag, stand at attention, and salute on the following occasions: (1) when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review, (2) during the ceremony of hoisting or lowering, (3) when the national anthem is played, and (4) during the Pledge of Allegiance. Those present in uniform should render the military salute. Those not in uniform should place the right hand over the heart. A man wearing a hat should remove it with his right hand and hold it to his left shoulder during the salute.
Prohibited Uses of the Flag—The flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. (An exception—customarily, ships salute by dipping their colors.) It should never be displayed with the union down save as a distress signal. It should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
It should not be displayed on a float, an automobile, or a boat except from a staff. It should never be used as a covering for a ceiling, nor have placed on it any word, design, or drawing. It should never be used as a receptacle for carrying anything. It should not be used to cover a statue or a monument.
The flag should never be used for advertising purposes, nor be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs, printed or otherwise impressed on boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard; or used as a costume or athletic uniform. Advertising signs should not be fastened to its staff or halyard.
The flag should never be used as drapery of any sort, never festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above and the white in the middle, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of a platform, and for decoration in general.
An act of Congress approved on Feb. 8, 1917, provided certain penalties for the desecration, mutilation, or improper use of the flag within the District of Columbia. A 1968 federal law provided penalties of as much as a year's imprisonment or a $1,000 fine or both for publicly burning or otherwise desecrating any U.S. flag. In addition, many states have laws against flag desecration. In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that no laws could prohibit political protesters from burning the flag. The decision had the effect of declaring unconstitutional the flag desecration laws of 48 states, as well as a similar federal statute, in cases of peaceful political expression.
The Supreme Court, in June 1990, declared that a new federal law making it a crime to burn or deface the American flag violated the free-speech guarantee of the First Amendment. The 5-4 Court decision led to renewed calls in Congress for a constitutional amendment to make it possible to prosecute flag burners.
Francis Bellamy, a former member of Youth's Companion editorial staff, publicly claimed authorship of the pledge in 1923. In 1939, the United States Flag Association, acting on the advice of a committee named to study the controversy, upheld the claim of Bellamy, who had died 8 years earlier. In 1957 the Library of Congress issued a report attributing the authorship to Bellamy.


Looking out from atop a turret, long views down the Danube and north toward New Belgrade provide a perfect watchtower.
Going back for a visit one spring afternoon, we explored some of the outside walls and turrets studding the fortress.
It is something else to think of the attack this place was designed to repel, and sobering indeed to consider the loss of life that would have been taken place should such an attack take place.

Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples are best seen in person, of course! The ruins are expertly designed temples with passageways leading in all directions. Ornate carvings and statues adorn temple doorways and walls. A visit to Angkor Wat Archaeological Park brings you back in time many hundreds of years and creates a feeling that you have truly found a lost treasure. Here are 16 photos to transport you to Angkor Wat and its complex of temples.
Jungle trees forever trying to reclaim the temples.
Many of the ruins are not just one building, but a series of structures forming one temple.
Ornate carvings that have remained intact over time.
The artistry and the work that must have gone into the carvings is not lost upon today's visitors.
Formidable entry ways lead the way to the inner workings of many temples.
Many of the temples are near water or had a water element, like a pond or moat. Some of the water has dried up over time, but some remains.
Many of the temples have statues of deities and animals, like elephants and bulls.
This was one of several structures that composed the Preah Ko Temple.
The Bayon had 4 faces carved into each stupa.
It's very easy to get "lost" within the larger temples. Passageways like this lead to different rooms and outdoor areas.
Banteay Srey was a stunning temple with pink sandstone carvings.
This apparition-like carving played tricks with my eyes.

Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing. They do look huge and I can see why it would be easy to get "lost." Thanks again for sharing.
The temples are truly incredible, with great shots around every corner! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
Angkor Wat is truly an amazing place. The detail you show in the rock work is interesting, and very impressive. Great photos and talent.
Thanks, John! I couldn't agree more. Angkor is amazing. I was fascinated by the rock work. I just can't fathom how hard it must have been for an artisan to shape the rock in such a detailed way.

Legalize Immigration
It's time to focus on letting legal immigrants in.
Steve Chapman | 5.31.2010 7:00 AM
A lot of Arizonans are upset about illegal immigration, and to learn why, you can't do better than the letter from Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen. Widely circulated on the Internet, it provides a pungent statement of the frustrations behind the new law stiffening enforcement—while confirming that it's the wrong remedy.
People on the border, she writes, "have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property." The migrants damage fences, scatter trash, and sometimes perish en route. "One rancher testified that 300 to 1,200 people a DAY come across his ranch," reports Allen.
The illegal entries, she believes, undermine our status as "a nation of laws." With a state budget deficit, "we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally," she says.
Hers are not the only complaints being heard. Among others: Illegals don't pay taxes. They steal Social Security numbers to get jobs. They drive down wages by working off the books.
All no doubt true. But the legislation assumes that tougher enforcement at the border and within the state will magically banish these problems. In fact, those options have already been tried, and all they have done is make things worse.
The supporters of the law, meanwhile, overlook the obvious. There is a simple way to stop the lawless stream, protect Americans living on the border, improve adherence to law, and reduce the costs of accommodating people who have no right to be here.
The solution? Stop focusing on trying to keep illegal immigrants out and start focusing on letting legal immigrants in.
Enforcement-only advocates often say they are not opposed to foreigners coming here as long as they follow the rules and obey the law. They should take a number and wait their turn, we are told, like the teeming masses of yore. It makes perfect sense until you discover that for most of those who want to come, legal admission is just about impossible.
"A peaceful, hardworking 24-year-old in Mexico or Central America who knows of a job in the United States for which no Americans are available simply has no legal means of entering the United States," writes policy analyst Daniel Griswold of the libertarian Cato Institute.
Foreigners with in-demand skills, like computer scientists, may get work visas. Close relatives of legal immigrants can also be admitted, though they often have to wait years. But if you don't fit in one of those slots—well, how do you say "fugheddaboutit" in Spanish?
Griswold suggests a big boost in the number of temporary worker visas, which would mean Mexicans and Nicaraguans would no longer have to undertake a death-defying trek across the Sonoran Desert, or squeeze into the trunk of a smuggler's car, for the privilege of working at a sweaty, low-wage job.
They wouldn't need to swipe Social Security numbers to get counterfeit documents. They would be far more likely to work on the books and pay taxes. They would come under the cover of federal and state labor regulations, so they would no longer undercut native employees.
They would stop enriching Mexican criminal organizations that make a business of human trafficking. They would gain more of a stake in participating in and preserving our way of life.
Xenophobes might fear that expanding legal immigration would produce a big jump in the foreign-born population. That's unlikely, because in this realm, the paradoxical often prevails.
Trying to lock down the border has not stanched the flow of unauthorized newcomers from the south, but it has made the trip much more dangerous and expensive. So illegal foreigners who once came and left now come and stay.
Thirty years ago, nearly half of undocumented arrivals departed within a year. Today, only one in 14 does.
If most of the 12 million illegal immigrants were to gain authorized status, many would feel free to return to their native countries, and some would remain there. Permitting more legal immigrants, oddly, could reduce the number of total immigrants.
If there is any lesson from recent experience, it's that foreigners are going to come here one way or another. The best option is to admit far more of them through wider legal channels. The alternative is to keep Arizona's southernmost ranches as the front line of a war the immigrants don't want and we can't win.

With childhood obesity skyrocketing and climate change looming for future generations, schools across the country are fighting back.
A recent Organic Authority article reports that schools in major cities from Los Angeles to Philadelphia are implementing policies to reduce animal-based offerings in cafeterias and increase plant-based options.
Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal reported that The Scandinavian School of Jersey City, a preschool just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, went entirely vegan.
Whether it's to save the planet, help children be healthier, or prevent animal suffering, these shifts toward plant-based school lunches are shaping the way future generations will eat.

And to my point, last night was the first time I beat a level 7 Escalation Protocol and it said I had to have a decrypted cache key to open the chest...so I didn't get anything.
And I got that black and orange EP shader a few months ago and the colors on the armor looked nothing like the shader thumbnail.
The disappointments just keep stacking up.


Scleroderma is a rare disorder with a prevalence of just 840 cases in the United States.
Scleroderma is more common in women than men. Anyone can get it, even children.
Most localized types show up before age 40, and are more common in people of European descent than in African Americans.
Systemic types are more common in people aged 30 to 50 and are more common in African Americans than in people of European descent.

A man in a state of amnesia is wrongly mistaken for a dead soldier.
Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) is a Hollywood movie writer wrongly accused as a communist sympathiser. With his career probably to be short lived by ending up in a blacklist, he got drunk and met with an accident while driving. With his head receiving the blow, he landed in a small town of Lawson, unable to remember where he came from or who he is. Add to that, he resembles a local, a soldier who died 9 years ago in the war. Unable to shake his 'father's' conviction that he is who he say he is, he 'continues' his life as Luke Trimble, a son of a man who owns the town's theater he no longer operates, the Majestic. At the same time, he is wanted by the FBI as he was assumed to be taking flight from authorities
Will he get his memory back? And what happens when the FBI finally finds him?
The Majestic brings us back to the era where the investigation of communist infiltration into Hollywood took center stage. We were brought along to examine the life of a fictitious character whose life is affected by this dark era. It tries to show that no matter who a person is, he can be who he wants to be, even someone we want him to be. As a feel-good movie, the effect of seeing peoples' life turning for the better after a certain event can easily be felt. Luke's return revived the town again after its spirit died when many of its young men were lost in the war.
While there is nothing bad about this movie, there is nothing I find that holds me dear. Unlike Forrest Gump, where we can treat it as a fantasy we like to see happen, Majestic beckons the question - is it that simple in real life? Can we simply pick up from where we left and move on?
While the addition of a political plot in this movie gives its share of diversity, it somehow pollute the main story of a man who finally finds himself. As with any movie within this genre, a love story is a must. With it having not much of attention, none of it's sub genre is that effective. Probably the only reason I find this movie somewhat appealing is Carrey. As in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Carrey played his role of a man who is reluctant to accept who he is, effectively.
I'll probably watch it again, but maybe just once more. Watch this when you are feeling down. You'll feel good after that

BROWN READY FOR MIAMI
Previous story FERGUSON AIMS FOR TOP SPOT AT NATIONALS Next story SACRAMENTO PRO FIGURE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Lionel "L-Train" Brown figures his next stop in Miami, for the 2006 NPC National Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships on Nov. 10-11 at the Jackie Gleason Theater, will be his last as an amateur bodybuilder.
In his first excursion to Miami for the NPC's crown jewel in 2003, Brown placed fifth in the heavyweight class. He skipped the contest in each of the past two years, but that doesn't mean Brown hasn't been working hard - he placed second to eventual heavyweight winner Mike Ergas at the USA's in July. At 5'9" and planning to weigh in at 224 pounds, Brown insists his conditioning will be better than at that contest.
For insight into Brown's dedication, check out "Card Chase" in the November FLEX, which details his precontest lead-in to what turned out to be his second USA heavyweight runner-up finish. Now, after a 10-week diet, Brown is ready to put it all on the line again for a second time this year. "I've been on the national scene since '03, and I've had some bumps and bruises," Brown says. "I'm ready to move on to the next level."
That's not to say that it's going to be an easy trip to Toytown for Brown, as at least two dozen heavyweights will be looking to derail the L-Train. Among the formidable competition will be T.J. Hewitt (third heavyweight in 2004), Grigori Atoyan (second in 2004), Jeff Schwartzer (second in 2003), Darrell Terrell (fourth in 2005) and Adorthus Cherry (third heavyweight at the 2006 USA).


The song begins with a distinctive electric harpsichord intro played by producer George Martin. The harpsichord is joined by Lennon's guitar (mimicking the harpsichord line) played through a Leslie speaker. Then vocals and bass guitar enter.
With regard to the controversy Lennon initiated by citing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" as an inspiration, musicologist Walter Everett notes that "both arpeggiate triads and seventh chords in C♯ minor in the baritone range of a keyboard instrument at a slow tempo, move through the submediant to ♭II and approach vii dim7/IV via a common tone." But while acknowledging the unusual shared harmonies, Dominic Pedler notes that the relationship is not the result of reversing the order of the chords as Lennon suggested.
"Because" concludes with a vocal fade-out on D dim, which keeps listeners in suspense as they wait for the return to the home key of C♯ minor. Mellers states that: "causality is released and there is no before and no after: because that flat supertonic is a moment of revelation, it needs no resolution." The D dim chord (and its accompanying melodic F♮) lingers until they resolve into the opening Am7 chord of "You Never Give Me Your Money".
The main recording session for "Because" was on 1 August 1969, with vocal overdubs on 4 August, and a double-tracked Moog synthesiser overdub by Harrison on 5 August. As a result, this was the last song on the album to be committed to tape, although there were still overdubs for other incomplete songs. This approach took extensive rehearsal, and more than five hours of extremely focused recording, to capture correctly. McCartney and Harrison both said it was their favourite track on Abbey Road. "They knew they were doing something special," said engineer Geoff Emerick, "and they were determined to get it right." A new remixed version, without instrumentation, was released on 1996's Anthology 3 and 2006's Love. Both versions highlight the three-part harmony by Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.
In 2016, the Beatles ' Anthology 3 version was featured in the trailer for Luc Besson's film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
I just asked! We reached out to Paul McCartney, and he asked, 'What is the film?' and then he said yes! I never met him — I wish I could, to thank him. From what I heard, he's seen a couple of my films — and because he's from U.K. and I'm from France, we're both from Europe, so maybe a little closer. And Cara [Delevingne] is U.K. also. So there is a vibe that I think, from what I heard, made him say, 'For this one, because it's at least new and fresh.' So I think that he likes that. He likes to be part of something new.
[a] stereo 12 Aug 1969.
The deliberately different Anthology version has just the vocals plus new reverb added in 1996.
2:44 • Studio version	• The track includes the bird sounds used in the World Wildlife Fund version of Across the Universe. In addition, a new recording of a wood pigeon was implemented to make it more British, according to George Martin.

Back Morgan Jerkins: Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist made me believe that I could be honest Print
Influences February 1, 2018
Morgan Jerkins: Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist made me believe that I could be honest
This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins (Harper Perennial, 2018).
Library of America's series of guest posts by contemporary writers continues today with the following piece by Morgan Jerkins, whose essay collection This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist in (White) America, out this week from Harper Perennial, is among the more widely anticipated nonfiction debuts of 2018.
Provocative and searching, the essays in This Will Be My Undoing blend personal memoir and shrewd cultural analysis to address tough questions about being a black woman in early twenty-first century America. Novelist Alexander Chee has praised the book's "radical honesty and warmth," while Publishers Weekly called it a "gorgeous and powerful collection."
Below, Jerkins pays homage to a critical touchstone for her own work.
I know this sounds extremely trite but I remember holding a copy of Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist in my hand as if it were yesterday, although the book was published almost four years ago. I was on my way to Montclair, New Jersey, to meet my soon-to-be agent. My Bolt Bus from Southern New Jersey was late arriving to Penn Station and I had to catch a train to Montclair, fearing that the agent would grow impatient and leave me, my tardiness being taken as me not being serious about my career.
I had a copy of Bad Feminist in my purse. It was the first essay collection that I'd read by a black woman in a very long time, if ever, at that point. What interested me about the collection beyond the interesting essays was that a black woman was so vocal about her imperfections, especially as they pertained to her politics. So you mean I could be black, woman, feminist, AND bad? I never knew that such a gray area existed for black women on the public stage.
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay (2014).
I don't know if Roxane Gay was the first but she made it so for me. At a moment when most essay collection book deals were happening to white women, I thought about what it would be like to write an essay collection about black women and all of our intricacies, both the good and the taboo, the proclamations and the contradictions, the actions and the hypocrisies. I'm not sure I wanted to be "bad" but I wanted to be, and if the aforementioned label came about at certain points in my book, so be it.
Bad Feminist made me believe that I could be honest by saying that I do not have all the answers but I am still going to challenge myself and others with my questions and my hypotheses. The book allowed me to be comfortable in the mindset of the unknown, demonstrating how, despite what society might force upon me as a black woman, I as well as my work can be irresolute and dazzling all at once.
Morgan Jerkins has published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, ELLE, Lenny Letter, Rolling Stone, and The New Republic, among other outlets, and is also a contributing editor for Catapult magazine. A New Jersey native, she graduated from Princeton University with an AB in Comparative Literature, specializing in nineteenth-century Russian literature and postwar modern Japanese literature, and received an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars.

LA Times poll: Brown leads Whitman by 13 pts.
INDIO, Calif. Eight days to go in the most expensive governor's race in history, and the woman whose money has made that possible pulled a new arrow out of her quiver to aim at Brown. Whitman brushed off a new statewide poll showing her behind Brown by double digits.
Billionaire former head of eBay Whitman started her day in Indio with Republican Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack. Whitman isn't buying a new Los Angeles Times-USC poll that gives Brown a 13-point lead.
"I think that L.A. Times poll was bunk," said Whitman. "I mean, that was a very biased poll. The L.A. Times typically does that before every election, so our internal polls and a lot of other polls show the race much closer, or even me ahead."
In an exclusive Eyewitness News poll last week, Whitman was seven points behind.
Next stop: Westlake Village, with Whitman focused on turning out her Republican base. Whitman tried out a new stump speech aimed at Brown's record as governor.
"Jerry Brown was soft on crime, 40 years of soft on crime, appointing justices like Rose Bird, who was not qualified, who fought against the death penalty," said Whitman.
With only a week to go before the election, Brown was not publically campaigning Monday. Sunday, he visited Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Compton, one of several church stops. As state attorney general, Brown says he has been a leader in enforcing the laws of the state, including the death penalty.
Whitman has spent more than $160 million so far on her campaign, more than $140 million of that of her own money. Brown has spent a little more than $25 million on his campaign.
Tuesday, Whitman and Brown will be on the same stage in Long Beach with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for The Women's Conference, hosted by Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver. The three of them will be talking about the issues facing the state and their solutions.
One of the first speakers of the day will be First Lady Michelle Obama.


Treasurer, before I get to the Tax Forum can I ask you about a story in the papers this morning and on the basis of those stories, can I ask you are you planning retrospective legislation on company tax to prevent huge loses that you've been exposed to by botched legislation relating to mergers and acquisitions?
Well there's certainly a lot in that story that is overstated. What the Government is currently doing is considering a report from the Board of Taxation, which is a technical advisory body to the Government, about the impact of legislation which was first introduced by the Howard Government in 2002. But over and above that, I'm not going to speculate about the nature of those discussions, we've been having those through the Board of Tax with the industry in good faith, we're going to work our way through those issues.
But is botched legislation at the heart of this?
Well I don't accept that characterisation. There was changed legislation that went back to the Howard Government in 2002, and what we want to do is work our way through all of the issues associated with that regime. We're doing that in good faith with the industry and that's what we'll continue to do.
Is it costing you a $1 billion a year potentially as reported?
Well as I said, I'm not going to go in to the details of all of those reports today. The fact is that there is an issue that we've been working our way through, through the Board of Taxation, we'll continue to do that.
Okay, to the Tax Forum. It's not your idea, it was imposed on you by the independents, so some say you don't really have your heart in it, you're meeting an obligation rather than being a man on a mission.
Look, I've rolled up my sleeves and I'm going to get stuck into it today. Because what I said when the tax review came down 18 months ago was that there were some issues we'd act on then, there were some issues we'd never do, and there were some issues we needed to have a conversation about. We're having a conversation about those issues, building on a very strong record of reform over the past 18 months. I'd just remind you, I mean $47 billion worth of tax cuts over 3 years; some big reforms in terms of resource rent taxation, big tax cuts coming from that revenue stream, the 2.7 million small businesses, a big increase in money which goes to the superannuation savings of low-income workers; a tripling of the tax-free threshold. They are all measures that we've put in place in recent times. I think pretty formidable record and we want to look at the next steps.
And beyond discussion, you seem to have already indicated that there will be one definite change from the forum, that there'll be a change to the treatment of company loses. That will be a definite action on the part of participants in the forum on the part of the government?
TREASURER: No, we haven't said that. What we've said is we're very interested in looking at what we can do to respond to the pressure of the patchwork economy on many sectors of industry and most particularly on manufacturing. We think that there are some issues that are worth looking at, some of which were raised at the original Henry Review when it comes to loses. We want to hear what people have got to say about that because we think it's a pretty important issue.
What's the biggest problem with the Australian tax system right now in your estimation? Is it that tax is too high? That it is inequitable? That its collection is inefficient?
Well I think there are a variety of challenges. We want to make sure the tax system is fair. We want to make sure it's efficient. We want to make sure it rewards incentive. And we want to make sure that it's sustainable. And if you look at the original Tax Review it said that our tax system was in reasonable nick. When it comes to levels of tax here compared to the rest of the world, we're reasonably low compared to the OECD. But because we're a relatively small country in the Asia Pacific we should always be trying to update our tax system and make it better. And that's the spirit we bring to the tax discussions today.
And a comment made by a lot of observers is that you just don't have the political capital to spend on driving tax reform which is going to cost you votes regardless of who's driving it. You are in political deficit.
Well we've already put forward some of the most substantial tax reforms that any government could ever do and I ran through some of them before. We're in the process of putting the MRRT though the parliament, a very big reform which is going to fund a cut in the corporate rate, substantial tax cuts for small business , the boost to superannuation savings. We are n the process of tripling the tax-free threshold, fundamental reform of the income taxation system and the list goes on. So I just reject that analysis in total but what I have said is that it's very clear that if any people have got suggestions in terms of reducing taxes they've got to indicate how they're going to pay for them.
And before the forum opens there are plenty of sceptics around saying that this has fizzer written all over it. Do you believe they'll be proven wrong?
Well there are always cynics around the place, I've noticed, but the fact is that this is an important discussion, it's the next step in tax reform, it builds on a very substantial record of tax reform by this government and we're going to be there and participate enthusiastically.
Wayne Swan, thank you very much.

Samsung Makes Unexpected Promises At Its "Analyst Day"
In the next couple of years, Samsung will work on and turn into reality WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440) displays in 2014, and then 3840 x 2106 screens (aka Ultra HD) by 2015. Taking into account that these resolutions will be applied to roughly 5-inch screens, the improvement in quality is very likely to be imagined, rather than actual. In other words, the real improvement will be on the spec sheet.
The company, which aims towards "Enabling a Smarter Life" with a number of technological advances, has declared that it will bring fully-foldable screens to its customers some time in 2015. Since no further details were revealed, we left on your imagination to envisage the full capabilities of this futuristic creation.
Under the term "Fonblet", Samsung promised they will create a new kind of device, i.e., "a large-display phone with a stylus and handwriting support". While some people tend to see them as "Phablets", and to others they are just "large phones", it's the handwriting recognition that lets Samsung give them a brand new name, thus tracing a path for a whole new market category.

THIMPHU, April 21, 2017 (BSS)-Former Bhutanese King Jigme Singye Wangchuck has highly lauded the role of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in establishing peace and ensuring development in the region and sought her leadership in various fields of sub-regional cooperation for further uplift of the region.
"There should be your stewardship in various fields of sub-regional cooperation whether it is in power sector, connectivity, trade and water management … it would definitely change the lot of the people of the region," Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque quoted the former Bhutanese King as saying while briefing reporters after a meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Wangchuk.
The meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Jigme Singye Wangchuk, the father of incumbent Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Namgyel, was held at Hotel Le Meridien Thimphu .
Foreign Secretary Shahidul Haque and PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim jointly briefed reporters on the outcome of the meeting, while PM's Deputy Press Secretary Nazrul Islam was present.
The former Bhutanese King said that the wisdom of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in steering Bangladesh keeping equal friendship with other countries is exemplary.
"Jigme Singye Wangchuk uttered this praising remark thrice," the foreign secretary said, adding he also suggested that the other global leaders have many things to learn from such experiences of Sheikh Hasina.
Wangchuk, known as the 4th King of Bhutan, also expressed his surprise as how Sheikh Hasina has been able to do that over the years.
He opined that the sub-regional cooperation would take this sub-region to a new path of potentials where the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is very much significant.
In response, the prime minister mentioning the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's philosophy — Friendship to all, malice to none — said that her government has also been pursuing that philosophy and principles.
"Although it was difficult, I have been able to accomplish that successfully," the prime minister said and sought cooperation from all countries of the region in this regard.
The former Bhutanese King along with his family spent some time with the prime minister and her family members who accompanied her during her three- day state visit to Bhutan, the foreign secretary said.
During the meeting, he recalled his first visit to Bangladesh in 1974 at the age of just 17 with his father.
At the meeting, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gifted the former Bhutanese King a photograph of him along with Bangabandhu which was taken during that tour in 1974.
Wangchuck termed Bangabandhu as a visionary, towering and inspiring leader and also lauded highly the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Later, the prime minister went to Royal Palace of incumbent King Jigme Khesar Namgyel at the invitation of the King and joined a dinner there.
The Bhutanese King and the Bangladesh Prime Minister spent some time there exclusively.
Besides, Bhutanese doctors, and students studying in Bangladesh met the premier at her hotel in Thimphu .

I wrote this post originally for a final summation of my Visual Aesthetics class, but I like what came out of this posted and felt is appropriate to share here as well!
If you had asked me in August if I was designer or interested in design, I would have probably laughed and said a prompt, 'Hell No!' But now I'm not so sure. I still like development and enjoy those "Fiero" moments of using creative logic to solve a problem. I'm still fascinated by using code to get interactive projects to work, but I've gained a lot of knowledge and shifted my opinions considerably on where my design skills stand.
I may still not see things in terms of color theory or typographic kerning, and I still think my aesthetic tends to air on the side of clunky and cartoonish. But that's exactly the thing I've realized this semester: my aesthetic. I have a style in the world of design. It's certainly not the best and doesn't always serve me well in design projects, but it is mine. There is a consistency in look between my projects that I am actually proud of.
From the group projects, I also realized that even if I can't execute designs myself, I like working with others to visualize and bring an idea to fruition. From brainstorming to chicken scratch sketches to fighting with wire frames in Illustrator, the process of design is as much about creative problem solving as working on a coding dilemma. I may not get as many "A Ha" moments, but in every project I have reached a final product that I am proud of and feel represents the best I could achieve given the time circumstances, group challenges, and personal skill level.
I have also been pleased to discover that I can think outside the box when it comes to design. Unintentionally, I realize I have varied away from the initial requirements on almost every assignment. From using fingerprints in alien typography, focusing on Colony Collapse Disorder in bees when assigned diseases for infographic design, deciding to work outside our Elon bubble for the PSA assignment, focusing more on animation than just text for kinetic typography, and currently with my attempt to disregard the traditional idea of a clock or alarm with my Social Countdown iPhone application prototype. The validity of any of these decisions is obviously up for subjective debate; but I like that each one takes a slightly different twist on the assignment. It was never my intent to try and do something different, it came from really playing during the process portion.
I still can't draw. If you looked at the appalling state of my sketchbook, you would probably never think I was a designer (or that I was perhaps the approximate age of 8-years-old). But there is a lot of thought behind those childish drawings. I look forward to continue stretching my imagination and growing as a designer. The idea of becoming a hybrid, someone who can both contribute to the creative process stage as well as develop and execute complex coding is really intriguing.
I would like to conclude this post with a final link to my portfolio, because I feel the course assignments I plan to feature there, would best capture my satisfaction and progress of this semester. However, I am still in the process stage of that project and I'm giving it time for the best ideas to come out.
