We present a comparison between the observed color distribution, number, and mass density of massive galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3 and a model by Hopkins et al. that relates the quasar and galaxy population on the basis of gas-rich mergers. In order to test the hypothesis that quiescent red galaxies are formed after a gas-rich merger involving quasar activity, we confront photometry of massive (M > 4 × 1010 M⊙) galaxies extracted from the FIRES, GOODS-South, and MUSYC surveys, together spanning an area of 496 arcmin2, with synthetic photometry from hydrodynamical merger simulations. As in the Hopkins et al.model, we use the observed quasar luminosity function to estimate the merger rate. We find that the synthetic U-V and V-J colors of galaxies that had a quasar phase in their past match the colors of observed galaxies that are best characterized by a quiescent stellar population. At z ∼ 2.6, the observed number and mass density of quiescent red galaxies withM >4×1010 M⊙ is consistent with the model in which every quiescent massive galaxy underwent a quasar phase in the past. At z ∼ 1.9, 2.8 times less quiescent galaxies are observed than predicted by the model as descendants of higher redshift quasars. The merger model also predicts a large number and mass density of galaxies undergoing star formation driven by the merger. We find that the predicted number and mass density accounts for 30%-50% of the observed massive star-forming galaxies.However, their colors do not match those of observed star-forming galaxies. In particular, the colors of dusty red galaxies (accounting for 30%-40% of the massive galaxy population) are not reproduced by the simulations. Several possible origins of this discrepancy are discussed. The observational constraints on the validity of the model are currently limited by cosmic variance and uncertainties in stellar population synthesis and radiative transfer.

OC School Districts Shun Board Of Education's No-Mask Suggestions

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — The worsening coronavirus pandemic has led more Southland school districts to start the 2020/21 school year online, it was announced this week.
On Monday, both Los Angeles Unified School District and San Diego Unified School District banded together in their announcement of online classes to start the coming school year. Meanwhile, Orange County's Board of Education had different ideas, voting 4-1 to encourage the districts under their umbrella to send kids back to regular school without masks or distancing.
Though the board of education makes recommendations of their districts, it is the individual school districts that ultimately make their own decisions. On Tuesday, school districts across the county were back to the drawing board to handle the coming school year.
There is no word yet on how distance learning will affect southern California school districts with regard to sports, clubs and recreational activities. The CIF Southern Section has proclaimed that they will release a tentative schedule for Fall, Winter and Spring teams by July 20.
In Laguna Beach, a decision was made Tuesday to adhere to state guidelines rather than the Orange County Board of Education's suggestion.
Laguna Beach Superintendent Jason Viloria told families in an email that the board's open opposition to mask-wearing and social distance is not what he feels is best for the district. Viloria wrote that:
"Health mandates and guidance for safe school reopening are issued by the California Department of Public Health and Orange County Health Care Agency, and the Laguna Beach Unified School District will follow this guidance in planning for reopening of schools."
They will meet later this month to determine what will work best for Laguna Beach families going forward into the new school year.
In the same vein, the Santa Ana Unified School District has decided to go back to school virtually to start the year.
"During these challenging times, the safety of our school community continues to be our top priority. While we hope at some point to have our students attend our schools alongside their classmates and teachers, now is not the time," Santa Ana Unified School District Superintendent Jerry Almendarez said. "Meanwhile, we are working to develop a rigorous distance learning plan that will allow students to continue their education at home."
Santa Ana Board of Education President Rigo Rodriguez added, "We want to proceed with extreme caution as we move forward with our efforts to offer a robust education."
"Making the decision now to shift to a virtual education model gives the district more time to make sure our teachers are fully prepared, our parents are well informed, and our students have access to devices and internet needed for us to deliver the highest quality service during this time," he added.
Los Alamitos Unified School District laid out plans earlier in the summer to reopen schools with physical campus presence on August 31 after surveying families. However, Superintendent Andrew Pulver admitted that the plan was subject to change. There have been no updates since June 20.
Elsewhere in Orange County, the Fountain Valley Unified School District, the Newport Mesa Unified School District, the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, and the Capistrano Unified School District are evaluating plans for reopening based upon parent requests and safety:
full return to school "as normal," with implemented health protocols
a blended model with some time spent at school and some time at home
total distance learning for K-12 for families who want their children to remain at home next school year.
With Los Angeles and San Diego unified school districts leading the way for total online schooling for the 2020/21 school year, the Long Beach Unified School District and the Pasadena Unified School District determined to do the same.
The superintendent of the Pasadena Unified School District recommended that campuses in the district remain closed for the beginning of the school year due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County.
Superintendent Brian McDonald said he wants the district's 23 schools to begin instruction on August 17, but with a 100 percent distance-learning model.
"All of us would like to see students back in school when it's safe to do so. But Los Angeles County has recorded a surge in new cases in the last week, with a 9 percent rate of positive cases," McDonald wrote in a letter to the PUSD community. "We cannot and will not take chances with the health and safety of our students and staff. I plan to bring a recommendation to the Board of Education at a special meeting on July 16 that Pasadena Unified opens in a 100 percent distance learning model on August 17."
McDonald said the district has been preparing for such a possibility and will continue to monitor and evaluate public health conditions and guidelines for a chance to return to in-person learning on campus. The district's school board previously announced the school year would begin August 17 with a combination of in-person and distance learning.
The PUSD comprises more than 16,700 students in a 76-square mile area that includes Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

6.6.6 Human Systems Integration (HSI) Submitters may provide support for HSI: this optional requirement for HSI is to examine the abilities contained within the supported frameworks and demonstrate in a non-normative example how HSI can be expressed and/or evaluated. The submission may also identify any capability gaps in this area.
[Note]: The term Human Systems Integration is not universal in its meaning, connotation and denotation. The US DoD Defense Acquisition Guidebook describes Human Systems Integration (HSI) as manpower, personnel, training, environment, safety and occupational health, human factors engineering, survivability, and habitability. These can and should be used to help determine and address the science and technology gaps to address all aspects of the system (hardware, software, and human). There have been various initiatives by the DoD, MOD and NATO to integrate HSI into architectural frameworks. These have all been useful and informative. However, none of these has emerged as an internationally recognized standard or been officially integrated into the corresponding architectural framework.


Good quality certified nursing assistants are in high demand in New York. If you want to become a certified nursing assistant, you will need to attend one of the many state approved training courses in the state. You can even find some options for receiving your certification for free. Training courses are often offered at community colleges, adult education facilities, nursing care facilities and some high schools.
You might very well be able to transfer a valid CNA certification to the state of New York. The state of New York does offer you the opportunity to apply for reciprocity if you hold a certification that is valid and in good standing within another state. It will be necessary for you to contact the Department of Health in New York in order to apply for reciprocity. Follow the instructions for your application carefully to ensure that you provide all information and documents necessary. Your application will be carefully reviewed to determine whether or not your certification can be transferred.
If you are not going to be working much as a certified nursing assistant in a two-year period, make certain you work for at least 8 hours or your certification will lapse. Everyone who is a nursing assistant must renew their certification every two years. It is relatively easy to renew your certification as long as you carefully follow the instructions on the renewal forms that you should receive two months or so before your certification expires. You will need to attend a training course again if you do not renew your certification as required.
Q. I live in New York and have wanted to become a certified nursing assistant for quite some time. Of course, New York is a big area and I am trying to find nursing assistant courses offered by region. Do you know if I can find a list of New York's approved CNA programs that would list schools and other training locations based on various regions in New York?
A. Yes, you can find a list of state approved programs for training. There is a list that is broken down by various locations in New York to make it easier to find what you are looking for. As you can imagine, there are a variety of nursing assistant programs available in New York. Check out this list: http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/nurseprogs-cna.htm.
Q. I have heard that Prometric is the company that handles Nursing Assistant Certification Exams in New York. I would like to have this verified. One of my friends is contemplating becoming a nursing assistant. I am currently working as a nurse but am trying to help her with her career goals. I have also heard that the written competency portion exam is going to be updated for New York. Is this accurate?
A. Yes Prometric does handle New York CNA exams. It is true that they are working on a new testing system. Part of the system will include computers being used for the "written" portion of the test. The new system has not gone into effect yet. It is to be introduced in July of this year (2012).
Hi, I live in Palo Alto, CA and i was wondering if i could get financial assistance for becoming a CNA? can anyone help?
How much is the CNA salary package for a beginner in this field, cause im planning to move to Pennsylvania and i wanted to start working as a CNA?
What is the Job description like for CNA's, im very interested in this field but i just want more info of the kind of work involved before i get it and enroll for a class.


Turn the clock back 20 years, 30 or 40 years. The backyard was the playground, extending back into the forest, no fences. The squirrels and birds watched as you played below. The fort was made, but there were always grand improvements you dreamed of. A little extra here, a piece of plywood there.
Mom is calling you in for supper.
That is how I remember childhood. Playing outside all day, eat, sleep and repeat. Fortunately I too am able to raise my family this way. Many however are in more urban settings, and don't have the same wide open spaces available.
Pack up the family, it's time for a camping trip! Getting your kids outside for the weekend can be a huge release of energy. Fresh air and a little sun seem to be the best way to assure worn out kiddos. And don't worry about a little rain. I've had some of the best family adventures in some really sour weather!
Need sleeping bags, pads, or fun little camping extras to make your trip complete? We can help. Bring Big Agnes into the field, you are sure to maintain your sanity through comfort!
There are so many reasons to get outdoors this summer with the family.
Body Image - Ever realize that full-frontal mirrors at the gym put the focus on what you look like rather than what you're doing? If you're out in a natural environment, you're better able to focus on how it feels to move your body and what your body can do.
Renewed Focus - Researchers at the University of Michigan found that the relaxed quiet of outdoor environments actually allows our brains to recharge. Leave over-stimulation behind, tune into the subtle details of nature like budding leaves and animal tracks.
Enhanced Creativity - Creative problem solving actually improves after several days in nature says a recent study out of the University of Kansas.
Don't wait, plan your next get-a-way now! Whether 30 minutes or 3 days, we promise you'll feel better and your family will thank-you!


How To Use Tablet To Visualization Bam File?
Question: How To Use Tablet To Visualization Bam File?
Hello. I want to use Tablet to visualise the aligned reuslt(bam format).All the data were download to my laptop before run tablet. When I input the files(.bam and fasta reference)into Tablet. It shows that a index file needed for it. So I used "samtools index .bam" to create a index file and download it into the samefolder in my laptop. When input it again. it shows that one of the files cannot be understand by tablet? What can I do to make it works?
Thanks for your reply! THe command I used were: samtools view -bS csort.sam | samtools sort – csort.bam samtools index csort.bam And it's ture that I got csort.bam, csort.bam.bai and myref.fa before I used the tablet. The only differnece was that I did't use -t ref.fa when I run the samtools view. Is this the main reason I can't use tablet the open my bam file?
I used the novoalign to align my read to the reference. Since there is a @sq at the begining of the sam file, it's why I don't using the reference during format conversion. Since the sam file is more than 40 G,it's realy cost times during format conversion. Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to do it this night if I can't get any another suggestion.
It's a good idea. But How I can only convert the first 1000 lines?
Haha! It turn out to be a mistake in reference. And the Tablet worked when I change the reference. And I also confirmed that the recipe you mentioned here worked well and the -t ref.fa doesn't affect the final visualization in Tablet. Thanks a lot for you kindly help.
Seeing only "N's" in tablet genome viewer?
Alignment produces BAM file with sorted reads, but cannot see alignment in viewer programs.
Bugged Velveth AMOS (.afg) file?
Why BWA is working faster with 1 thread? Does default 4 thread option output better BAM file?
No output from samtools index?
Have anyone been experienced Socrates ?
How to specify the sort based on name in samtools sort?
How to work with 2.6 TB genome data which is deposited in the server?

Planet Narnia : The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis Paperback / softback
by Michael Ward
For over half a century, scholars have laboured to show that C.
S. Lewis's famed but apparently disorganised Chronicles of Narnia have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's Faerie Queene. None of these explanations has won general acceptance and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery. Michael Ward has finally solved the enigma. In Planet Narnia he demonstrates that medieval cosmology, a subject which fascinated Lewis throughout his life, provides the imaginative key to the seven novels.
Drawing on the whole range of Lewis's writings (including previously unpublished drafts of the Chronicles), Ward reveals how the Narnia stories were designed to express the characteristics of the seven medieval planets - - Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn - - planets whichLewis described as "spiritual symbols of permanent value" and "especially worthwhile in our own generation".
Using these seven symbols, Lewis secretly constructed the Chronicles so that in each book the plot-line, the ornamental details, and, most important, the portrayal of the Christ-figure ofAslan, all serve to communicate the governing planetary personality.
The cosmological theme of each Chronicle is what Lewis called 'the kappa element in romance', the atmospheric essence of a story, everywhere present but nowhere explicit.
The reader inhabits this atmosphere and thus imaginatively gains connaitre knowledge of the spiritual character which the tale was created to embody. Planet Narnia is a ground-breaking study that will provoke a major revaluation not only of the Chronicles, but of Lewis's whole literary and theological outlook.
Ward uncovers a much subtler writer and thinker than has previously been recognized, whose central interests were hiddenness, immanence, and knowledge by acquaintance.

Concert plans halted at Limerick's Gaelic Grounds
Anne Sheridan
PLANS to hold concerts in Limerick's Gaelic Grounds and attract millions of euro to the city have been put on hold for potentially another year, as local residents have taken their objections to the national planning authority.
Limerick City Council recently gave the go-ahead to plans to hold concerts in the Gaelic Grounds on the Ennis Road, despite objections from four residents associations.
Pairc na nGael could hold concerts for up to 49,000 people - nearly twice the capacity of Thomond Park - but now the plans will not be decided upon by An Bord Pleanala until July 24.
If approved, the GAA board believe the earliest possible concert date could be in 2014 and said they would be "cognisant of the wishes of the local residents" with regard to acts staged in the stadium, and the audiences they could attract. They have not entered any discussions with concert promoters to date.
The proposals have proven unpopular with residents, with formal objections lodged by four residents associations - Clareview, Coolraine Terrace, Ashbrook, Ennis Road, and the Greystones and District Residents Association.
Oliver Mann, chairman of the county board, said he is "disappointed" the plans have been appealed, but said that is the right of residents, and that they are still hopeful of a positive outcome.
Mr Mann said he sees the Gaelic Grounds as complementing existing concert venues in Limerick, and not as a "rival" to Thomond Park, given the different capacities for audiences in both stadiums.
"This could be huge for the GAA and Limerick in general. I'm hopeful that the positives would far outweigh the negatives when a decision is made. It would boost the revenues of the stadium, hotels and the local economy in general," he told the Limerick Leader.
The Clareview residents association has argued that there is no proper parking plan in plan for thousands of people expected at concerts.
They claimed that the current parking plan submitted by the GAA and approved by Limerick City Council is "a work of fiction".
Furthermore, they state the concerts will become the "lowest common denominator" to raise money.
"The result of this will be issues with public order, such as drunkenness, violence and vandalism to public order in the area. We are entitled by law to the use and enjoyment of our homes," they state.
Coolraine Terrace residents association said "parking is always a problem" at GAA matches in the stadium, and said residents have been verbally abused in the past when requesting people to move their cars.
Greystones Residents Association believe there are inadequate facilities at the Gaelic Grounds to cater for the crowds such major events would attract.
They said they are "distressed, annoyed and very upset to think and peace and tranquillity of this mature residential area would be disturbed by the high level of noise, litter, risk of anti-social behaviour and disturbance that concerts would cause". A petition with over 60 signatures against the plans "spoke volumes" regarding their level of objection, they stated.
Ashbrook residents also submitted an objection with 60 signatures.
Other residents associations point out the 1997 plan to extend the stadium precluded the use of concerts.
At the time, city planners stated: "The use of the stadium shall solely be for field games, other sporting purposes and non-commercial community uses."
In the application, they state that 5,000 letters will be sent to residents north of the river in advance of any concert being held, and point out the availability of 4,000 car parking spaces in Limerick city, as well as shuttle bus services from the city centre.

Q: Problem drawing boxes with arrows in tikZ Could someone, whenever it's possible, post a minimal tikZ example to draw this? I also would like to put an "R" inside the upper box. This is mi code so far (I know, it's a mess):
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\tikzstyle{vspecies}=[rectangle, minimum size=0.5cm,draw=black,fill=blue]
\begin{tikzpicture}

\node [vspecies] (I) {I} ;
\node [vspecies, above left of = I] (N) {M} ;
\node [vspecies, below left of = I] (K) {K} ;
\draw [->,thick] (S.south east) --  node {\small{$N$}}  (M) ; ;
\draw [->,thick] (C) --  node [below right]    {\small{$M$}} (M) ;

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Something like this?
\documentclass[tikz,margin=1mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=a]
    \node[minimum width=2cm,minimum height=3cm,draw] (main-a) {};
    \path (main-a.west) node[left] {$N$} (main-a.north) node[above] {$M$};
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=b2]
    \node[minimum width=2cm,minimum height=1cm,draw,below right=of main-a] (main-b2) {};
    \path (main-b2.east) node[right] {$K$} (main-b2.north) node[above] {$M$};
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=b1]
    \node[minimum width=1cm,minimum height=3cm,draw,below left=of main-a] (main-b1) {};
    \path (main-b1.west) node[left] {$N$} (main-b1.north) node[above] {$K$};
\end{scope}
\draw[-stealth] (main-a.south) -- (b1.north east);
\draw[-stealth] (main-a.south) -- (b2.north west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Just for fun.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{vspecies/.style={rectangle, minimum size=0.5cm,draw=blue}}
\begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex]
 \node[draw,minimum width=1cm,minimum height=2cm,
 label=left:$M$,label=above:$N$] (R){$R$};
 \node [vspecies,below left=1cm and 0.2cm of R,minimum height=1.2cm,
 label=left:$M$,label=above:$K$] (R1) {} ;
 \node [vspecies,below right=1cm and 0.2cm of R,minimum width=1.2cm,
 label=left:$K$,label=above:$N$] (R2) {} ;
 \draw [->,thick,shorten >=1mm,shorten <=1mm] (R.south west) -- (R1.north east);
 \draw [->,thick,shorten >=1mm,shorten <=1mm] (R.south east) -- (R2.north west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Here is an overkill solution that defines a new pics "shape" (see section 18.2 of the 3.1.1 tikz manual),together with some custom pgfkeys for styling it. The end result is that you can produce:

using code:
\documentclass[tikz, border=5mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}

\begin{document}
\pgfkeys{/vspecies/.is family, /vspecies,
  colour/.initial  = black, % rectangle colour
  fill/.initial    = white, % default fill
  top label/.initial = M,   % label on right
  right label/.initial= N,  % label on left
  bottom label/.initial=,   % label on left
  left label/.initial=,     % label on left
  X/.initial       = 5mm,   % default width
  Y/.initial       = 5mm,   % default height
  shape/.initial   = rectangle % default shape
}

\tikzset{
pics/vspecies/.style args={#1,#2}{% node name, pgfkeys key-value pairs
     code = {
      \pgfkeys{/vspecies, #2}
      \node[\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/shape},
            minimum size=\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/X},
            minimum height=\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/Y},
            draw=\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/colour},
            fill=\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/fill},
            label=east:\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/left label},
            label=north:\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/top label},
            label=south:\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/bottom label},
            label=west:\pgfkeysvalueof{/vspecies/right label},
      ](#1) at (0,0){};
     }
  }
}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \pic at (0,0) {vspecies={A,colour=red,Y=10mm}};
  \pic[below left=10mm of A] {vspecies={B,top label=K,colour=blue,Y=20mm}};
  \pic[below right=10mm of A] {vspecies={C,fill=blue!10,X=10mm,shape=circle,left label=N,right label=}};
  \draw[->](A.south west)--(B.north east);
  \draw[->](A.south east)--(C.north west);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

The vspecies pic command take two arguments: the first is the name of a (normal) tikz node label and the second argunment is a comma separated list of key-value pairs tha specify:

*

*the colour of the rectangle (default black)

*the fill colour (default white)

*the top label (default M)

*the left label (default "")

*the bottom label (default "")

*the left label (default N)

*the minimum X width

*the minimum Y height

*the shape (default rectangle)

As I said, this is overkill (and I was bored:)

A: Final version:
\documentclass[tikz,margin=1mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\sffamily
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=a]
\node[minimum width=2cm,line width=0.199mm,minimum   height=3cm,draw=black] (main-a) {R};
\path (main-a.west) node[left] {N} (main-a.north) node[above] {M};
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=b2]
\node[minimum width=2cm,line width=0.199mm,minimum height=1cm,draw=blue,below right=of main-a] (main-b2) {};
\path (main-b2.east) node[right] {K} (main-b2.north) node[above] {M};
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[local bounding box=b1]
\node[minimum width=1cm,line width=0.199mm,minimum height=3cm,draw=blue,below left=of main-a] (main-b1) {};
\path (main-b1.west) node[left] {N} (main-b1.north) node[above] {K};
\end{scope}
\draw[-stealth] (main-a.south) -- (b1.north east);
\draw[-stealth] (main-a.south) -- (b2.north west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Airbags are now a common fixture in modern day vehicles, however, imagine if we didn't have them in our vehicles, or if we did, what would happen if they were faulty?
An airbag is meant to absorb the impact and minimise injuries in the event of a collision, as it provides the driver and the passenger with cushioning before they violently collide with the front, interior surface of the vehicle. If the airbag is faulty, you will not have any protection in any future collisions, as there is a high chance it will malfunction and not deploy correctly, if at all. Also, faulty airbags have been known to deploy randomly – even if you're not involved in an accident!
The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) released a product recall for 637 Chrysler 300C Jeep Wranglers, which were manufactured by Chrysler UK. According to the report, the passenger airbags failed to deploy correctly. This fault affected vehicles from March 10, 2008, to December 3, 2013, and then this recall was issued in March 2018.
The issue described in the recall was a fault with the propellant in the front passenger airbag inflator (PAB). Specifically, over time, the propellant could degrade and in turn, cause fragments of metal to pierce through the airbag and into the vehicle at a high speed. In the event of the airbag actually deploying, this would cause serious injury to those sitting in the vehicle.
Therefore, if you are unsure if your vehicle is part of this recall, please take it to the nearest Chrysler dealership, and they will help you confirm. If unfortunately, your vehicle has this issue, Chrysler will replace the inflator assembly at no cost to you.

Humans of Trinity College: What foundation studies students think of Melbourne and hope to achieve at uni
Trinity College Foundation Studieson June 29, 2016 /0 comments
HOW much do you really know about your fellow international students? Praneeta, Zuo Maoting and Lydia Li talk to some of the international students of Trinity College to get a sense of who they are, what they like or dislike about Melbourne, and what their aspirations are.
Francisca Castela, 17, Portugal
I wish to pursue medicine at the University of Melbourne. Doing medicine has been my dream since I was three years old. I chose to come to Melbourne as it had been listed as the world's most liveable city five years in a row. It was my mother's dream to come here to pursue her studies but she didn't have the opportunity to do so, so she wanted to give me the chance to live out her dream.
I love the fact that Melbourne, particularly Trinity College, is filled with people from all over the world. My favourite thing to do here is to explore the city; some of my favourite places are the museum, National Gallery and St Kilda's beach.
Kevaja Panjaitan, 20, Indonesia
I wish to study commerce and finance at the University of Melbourne. I want to pursue this line of work mainly for the money. I came to Melbourne because my father really wanted me to attend the University of Melbourne.
One of the things I really like about Melbourne is the exciting night life. However, something I don't really like about living here is the fact that shops close really early unlike back home. Some of my favourite things to do here include trying different cafes for brunch and going bar-hopping.
Zain Malik, 19, Pakistan
I want to pursue physics at the University of Melbourne and feel that physics is the basis of how the world works. I ended up coming to Melbourne by fluke because I was actually supposed to go to Canada. However, I do not regret coming here instead.
One thing I love about Melbourne is the way the people here are so open and free when it comes to expressing themselves. Walking down the street, you can see the most outlandish characters yet they seem so at home here. The cold weather is something I'm still getting used to. My favourite thing to do here is to explore parks and experience as much of the culture as I can.
Balamurugan, 19, Malaysia
I want to pursue a Bachelor of Design at the University of Melbourne; I think it will be easier to get a job later on. My father owns an engineering firm back home, so I want to continue on in that line of work.
I chose to come to Melbourne because my older brother studied here, and so my parents are familiar with the place and are more comfortable sending me here. I have also been here many times on holiday and really liked the city. The music scene here is awesome! There are lots of music festivals happening almost every other weekend. However, I really do not like the extreme weather here.
In my free time, I like to experience the night life here.
Jessica Zhang, 21, China
I wish to study psychology at the University of Melbourne; I find the way the brain works is really fascinating. Nothing is better than having an understanding of the most complex part of the human body! I came to Melbourne because I like the weather here. The food is good and it is famous for having really good cafes. I also like the fact that it is multicultural, and everybody is considered equal here. I also like the nightlife and the people in Melbourne are very polite and friendly.
One thing I do not like about Melbourne however is the train system at night as there are fewer trains going from the city to the suburbs, and the waiting time is very long. I like going to the parks here because they are very peaceful and the cafes here have very good coffee, often served at the perfect temperature, which is amazing!

Find The Best Music Movies Here To Watch 2022
Do you need to know the best music movies of all time? The films that touch us the most or leave a mark on our hearts are almost always influenced by music.
As far as this is concerned, the music movies in the past used to be great, but now there are many blockbusters released in cinemas. Because of this, I've made the top best movies with a music list for you to learn about.
Even though some of these films are not musicals, they still have tremendous influence from music and soundtracks. On the other hand, some movie stars have been very influential by showing us their passion for music. So, let's get started!
Best Movies About Music
Hedwig and The Angry Inch (2001)
Whiplash (2014)
Pitch Perfect (2012)
In the Heights (2021).
Les Miserables (2012)
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008)
Walk the Line (2005)
Some Kind of Monster (2004)
DIG! (2004)
8 Mile (2002)
24 Hour Party People (2002)
Wayne's World (1992)
High Fidelity (2000)
Almost Famous (2000)
Purple Rain (1984)
This is Spinal Tap (1984)
Blues Brothers (1980)
The Sound of Music (1965)
Honorable Mentions For The Movies With The Best Music
The story is about a singer from East Germany who suffers from a botched sex-change operation, leaving her with "an angry inch" of flesh between her legs. She moves to the USA and gets into a relationship with another singer who steals her songs.
Hedwig, played in the film by John Cameron Mitchell, then ends up working at a chain seafood restaurant called Bilgewaters. It's beautiful and touches on Greek mythology, the origins of love, and gender identity.
It's also a lot of fun – it's a comedy with serious messages. The songs are fantastic.
This article is about the sacrifices that a music student must make to achieve greatness. It brought back memories of my university experience. There is a big difference between studying music which can be pretty dull, and actually doing the work. It's essential to let go of all the baggage and be open to learning new things.
Andrew (Miles Teller), is in a very unhealthy relationship with his music teacher. But I had music teachers in school that I was passionate about and wanted to improve for, so they believed in me.
Although the film's title is about Anna Kendrick as Beca, an unwilling Cappella singer who is not a cast member, the real joy is watching the talent on the screen.
We get to see a variety of talented singers and groups, with their incredible harmonies. The music is a celebration of that love and energy. This is why there are two sequels (not as good).
John M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians), directing Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit musical, gives it the artistic film treatment. It is easy to feel the joy and connection between Washington Heights residents, whether they dream of better lives or those who have already made their own. If you are familiar with the musical, there are some updates and additions-including a brand new song.
Miranda has had quite the year. Hamilton, Miranda's musical, was recorded and streamed live on Disney+. This is the closest you can get to the actual play, with the original cast. It's breathtaking, beautiful, and so catchy that you'll be singing it for many days.
This Oscar-winning, L.A.-based film, directed by Damien Chazelle and is a "modern musical," follows Emma Stone, an actress, and Ryan Gosling, a traditionalist jazz musician, as they try to make it big, but instead, fall in love.
Although there are many films about the struggles of folk singer-songwriters and their music, this is the best (and the best streaming movie on Amazon). Although Crazy Heart was tempting, Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) was the one that was selected.
Perhaps it's the Coen brothers' mysterious effect or the subtle soundtrack. The film is a beautiful look at Greenwich Village's art scene circa 1961. It was directed by Oscar Isaac, who performed many of the songs.
The film's sound would never falter, with T. Bone Burnett serving as an executive music producer. It is a must-see because of the layers and slight surrealism provided by the talented directors.
During this eerie French musical set from the 19th century, keep the Kleenex handy. It shows Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who adopts Cosette, an orphan after her mother's death.
Valjean's ex-prisoner, Javert, pursues him in France as France splits before the Paris Uprising 1832.
Joy Division's story is tragic. When Ian Curtis took his own life, they were just a few steps away from international success and an important U.S. tour.
Anton Corbijn's "Control" shows them rising through local clubs and recording two great albums, "Unknown Pleasure" and "Closer." However, Curtis' internal demons and his health problems got the better of him, and it was too late.
Anvil, a Canadian heavy metal band, has been praised by Metallica, Slayer, and almost every metal band. Spinal Tap was also compared to them.
The doc follows them thirty years after their short peak when frontman Lips worked for a catering business. They are trying to relaunch their careers, as they were living out a rock and roller dream that they never realized.
Walk the Line, a romantic drama directed by James Mangold in 2005, tells Johnny Cash's life. Beyond the romance and stardom, the best part about this movie is the glimpse into the life of Johnny Cash.
You get to meet top stars, drive fancy cars, and go backstage at mega-star concerts.
Both stars were awarded Oscars for their performances. The film also received a lot of praises from the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and BAFTA Awards. Joaquin Phoenix sang and played Cash's songs while Cash was recording the movie. It didn't matter if the film was about music, it was a big hit.
Walk the Line was a film that big movie companies refused to make for nearly ten years. It was the most successful music biopic until Straight Outta Compton, a ten-year later.
What is more important than seeing one of the most influential metal bands ever make a bunch out of wimps? Everything else is irrelevant. Filmed during Metallica's work on "St. This doc, which was shot while Metallica was working on "St. It's not metal, but it is somehow metal.
Brian Jonestown Massacre is probably something you haven't heard of, but maybe you've heard about the Dandy Warhols. This documentary about the ridiculousness and selfishness of both bands is hilariously entertaining and frustrating.
This movie is the first to feature a fight between two bands on stage.
Eminem portrays "B-Rabbit," a poor child who lives in a mobile house on Detroit's outskirts and dreams of becoming a rapper. It may sound a lot like Eminem's life, with some embellishments.
The film concludes with an epic rap battle in which Eminem, also known as "B-Rabbit," defeats his competition and perhaps begins his journey toward a career as a rapper. The one-shot is all you get. He took his shot.
The comedy film, which is a bit fictional, documents Manchester's music scene through the eyes of Tony Wilson, a television personality and record label founder (he founded Factory Records) and concert promoter.
"24 Hour Party People", which features the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, and New Order, shows how the scene has changed from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. It also highlights the eccentricity of the scene.
Wayne and Garth are the actual world Beavis and Butthead, who are the heroes of the Lorne Michaels-produced film. It was spun off from a Saturday Night Live skit.
Although they are long-haired and stout rock and roll stones, their hearts are big and incorruptible. These multiple ending sequences are among the most innovative in American cinema.
Let's face it; every music nerd can be a selfish, insensitive, and snobby jerk. John Cusack portrays this character in "High Fidelity," a story about a Chicago record store owner struggling to heal from a split.
He listens, talks about music (mostly in "top 5" lists), walks, eats, sleeps, dreams, and sort of figures out how to be better to the person he loves. Jack Black's hilarious performance as a record store employee is the highlight.
It is the ultimate dream scenario for a music journalist to tour with a rock band and write about it in "Rolling Stone." Cameron Crowe's film "Almost Famous" is a perfect example of this.
The protagonist rides with the band on tour (and in airplanes), and watches the frontman get psychedelic. He also sees the backstage drama, where he loses his virginity. Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays the heroic Lester Bangs, a music journalist.
Oliver Stone directed The Doors, which was released in 1991 to mixed reviews. Those critics may regret their silly comments as time passes.
I remember that scene when the synthesizer player couldn't relax on the beaches until he had a breakthrough on the melody that he had been struggling to find. For me, that's the way it is. It's all work and no play!
Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin, and Brian De Palma all considered making the film. However, the band wanted Oliver Stone to direct it after his success with Platoon.
The film went through almost a decade of development while trying to find big actors to portray Morrison. Val Kilmer was the right choice.
Jim Morrison's family and bandmates were dissatisfied with the film. They claimed that it depicted Jim Morrison incorrectly and was damaging. The film only grossed $34 million worldwide, but it cost $38 million.
Even though it has a large following, it is now a cult movie. You'll see Billy Idol playing a part if you pay attention.
It turns out that Prince is just as captivating on-screen as he is on the speakers. Prince's album "Purple Rain" was released in cinematic accompaniment. He is "The Kid," the frontman of "The Revolution," a band trying to make it in Minneapolis' music scene.
Although his life is full of struggle, doubt, and pain, The Kid is a star on the stage. Prince's concert footage of his band performing classic songs like "Let's Go Crazy," "I Would Die 4 U", and "Purple Rain" were breathtaking and helped to sell the album.
This Spinal Tap was a mockumentary written and directed by Rob Reiner back in 1984. It's a mockumentary of the enormous rock star egos, but it's pretty accurate.
Managers and musicians alike can complain about small things like riders and the mechanics behind big concerts.
Spinal Tap was a fake British rock group. However, they recorded an entire album and performed it live with hits like "Tonight, I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" or "Gimme Some Money."
It's one of the greatest films of 1984, and all the critics loved it. This is unusual since most people want attention by being contrarian. Big rock stars loved it.
The Library of Congress has preserved this movie in the National Film Registry because it is culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.
Nearly all the dialogue was improvised. There is no script—only scene outline. Spinal Tap is a term for rock bands that take themselves too seriously.
Eighteen of 53 awards won by Amadeus were Academy Awards. This is a good result for a film about classical music, especially the fictional battle between Amadeus Salzburg and Antonio Salieri.
The film portrays Mozart as a wild, crazy, and reckless party boy who takes all the glory away from Salieri, who devises a sinister plan to destroy Mozart once and forever.
They were on a mission. They were on a mission from God. John Belushi and Dan Akroyd are trying to get the group back together to perform a show and raise money to save the orphanage where their parents grew up.
They will not be stopped. There are many jokes and great performances, including appearances by Aretha Franklin and James Brown.
The Band is a great group, without a doubt. Their final concert was a significant one. A film about a concert is bound to be boring unless Martin Scorsese directs it. The movie was shot in 1976 at the Winterland Ballroom.
The Band's friends include Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Muddy Waters. These candid interviews give a glimpse into the motivations of one of rock's greatest bands.
High Fidelity, released in 2000, is high up on the list for the greatest John Cusack movies. High Fidelity is a film that digs deep into your soul and inspires millions of mixtapes for lovers worldwide.
It was challenging to settle on a soundtrack, which is not surprising considering the film's primary focus on music snobs. The film's soundtrack is a great success, featuring such artists as Roky Erickson and Bill Callahan.
You'll be able to start a vinyl collection if you don't own one before you see this movie.
Although there are many more, we felt this extra section would be sufficient to provide all the information you need about the top music movies. You can find more if you need them, but they are not always worth your time. All of these offer something valuable.
The Runaways, a 2010 independent film, is about the formation and eventual dissolution of a 1970's rock band called The Runaways.
Bound for Glory, a 1976 biopic, is based on Woody Guthrie's fictionalized autobiography. If you are interested in the directing side, it won the Academy Award as Best Cinematography.
Lady Sings the Blues, a 1972 biopic about Billie Holiday's life and career, is available.
La Bamba, a 1987 film about Ritchie Valens' life and music career, is fantastic. It is so great that it is in the National Film Registry for preservation.
Coal Miner's Daughter, a 1980 smash hit, tells the story of Loretta Lynn, a country music singer.
Since 1937, A Star is Born been made four times. The 2018 version stars Lady Gaga and many other big stars. It is about the growing romance between these two musicians.
Sid and Nancy, a 1986 film, is about Sid Vicious's life and Nancy Spungen's love. Although it didn't make much money, everyone who saw it loved it, and it is now a cult favorite.
Tina Turner's life is told in the 1993 film What's Love Got To Do With It. If you are looking for a movie about music, this is a great choice.
Bob Dylan's 2007 film I'm Not There tells the story of his life and music. It is considered to be one of the greatest films of the year.
It's all about the best music movies ever that Fidlar know. If you have another suggestion, feel free to post it in the comments. So we might check it out and add it to our collection.

'Abbott Elementary' Star Lisa Ann Walter Shares the Childhood Insecurity That Helped Her Connect to the 'Read-A-Thon' Episode
Plus, the actor previews the returns of Melissa's sister and teacher's aide in Season 2.
Danielle Turchiano Jan. 4 2023 at 6:31 p.m. PT
Lisa Ann Walter in 'Abbott Elementary'
Warning: This story contains spoilers for the mid-season premiere of Abbott Elementary Season 2, titled "Read-A-Thon." Read at your own risk!
Depending on what years you attended elementary school (and probably also in what part of the country you attended said school), the annual "Read-A-Thon" was either a welcome reprieve from normal class schedules or a challenge that just piled a lot of extra work (and pressure) on you. OK, that probably also depends on what kind of student you were and how you felt about reading too. But years ago, such an event was designed as a competition, with the kids (or class) who read the most amount of books in a specific time winning a prize. These days, in order to avoid kids from feeling left out or left behind, the event may be designed more to bring the community of classrooms together, rather than pitting them against each other. At least, that is how Abbott Elementary chooses to depict such an event in the aptly-titled Season 2 episode, "Read-A-Thon."
For the students of the titular Philadelphia school, simply participating in the event means they will get a pizza party at the end of it. But for the adults who work in that school and perhaps remember the way the event used to go, there is a bit more on the line. Namely, Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter) is looking to ensure her class comes in at the top of the list for most books read to take the technical win and allow her to keep her (very large, very homemade) championship belt. And because Janine Teagues (Quinta Brunson) is over-eager, the stakes are higher than ever for Melissa to defend that championship: The two teachers agree that whoever doesn't come out on top has to be a guest on Jacob's (Chris Perfetti) new Abbott Life podcast.
Everyone who knows the show knows Melissa has a guy for everything — but not this. This, she encourages the kids to do on their own, whatever it takes, even if it means slipping a book into a plastic bag and taking it in the shower with them. Unfortunately, that plan results in her three best readers being pulled out of school due to contracting pink eye, which leaves a young girl who struggles with reading to try to pick up the slack. She inflates her total to be a hero (and to cover how she struggles).
But, it turns out, Melissa is the guy for that. Because she struggled with reading as a young girl, she recognizes this girl's plight pretty quickly and, rather than just accusing her of cheating for winning's sake, helps her find a solution that will aid in her education without turning her off reading.
"Quinta saw what I did with some of the things I've done before — the work that she's enjoyed, like The Parent Trap, Bruce Almighty — where she knows that I can do the laughter into tears or the tears into laughter. That's kind of my wheelhouse. So she looks for things that can support [that]," Walter tells Metacritic of the surprisingly emotional turn the episode takes for her character.
It's far from the first time Abbott Elementary has shown a softer side to its tough veteran teacher, and it also won't be the last.
Here, Walter talks to Metacritic about the new piece of backstory she got in "Read-A-Thon," how much Melissa is rubbing off on the kids, and what to expect from her relationships in the back half of the season.
Because the audience knows, and the episode even points out, that Melissa cheats from time to time, there are moments where it seems like maybe this little girl is just emulating that idea. Is Melissa's personality going to influence her kids more as episodes go on? How much of an impact is she making?
I'm the daughter of a public school teacher and I got to be in my mom's class sometimes and her personality was an influence to the class, but just based on how they responded to or respected her. There wasn't as much of the, "Here's how you work the system" as Melissa is because I think Melissa's discussion about having a guy [and] working the system, that's the stuff that the teachers know. Who she is in front of [the kids] is just the cool, white teacher. She's the one that they can they know they can be themselves around and she respects where they come from and she's proud of where she comes from, so she can talk sports with them. But she's probably not going to be like, "Just mark down whatever." There is the line, "I don't need to know how you do it, just do it," and I think that that's on the edge of just, "Give it your best shot." But what Melissa is is incredibly encouraging: She wants the kids to believe in themselves and she wants for them to to do their best, but if they fail, then she'll find a way to make it look like it's not failure.
For me as an actor, the most important definition for Melissa and what she's giving to them is total support — being behind their efforts and fighting for them. So, like in "Egg Drop," she hardboiled the egg because it's stupid. She's not teaching them physics; they're not learning physics yet. So, I'm just going to do a thing that doesn't shame them. But come to this one, she wants them to read. And what's specifically important for Melissa is that she did overcome a disability.
Which is a new piece of backstory for the audiences. How early on do you find out such important parts of her character?
This specifically was not discussed [ahead of getting this episode], and I, conversely to the character, never had a problem with reading. In fact, I started reading at 3 years old, and I mean full books. My kindergarten teacher sent me to the upper grades to read to them because I used to get in trouble because I was so ahead of what was going on that I was trying to help them with their work and speaking out. And so, the smart teachers were like, "OK she's got the reading thing." My mother taught me. But I substituted it as an actor with that I was a fat kid and I was teased about it and shamed about it. And so, when you're trying to help a kid who you see is struggling with something, you just put yourself there and say, "I've been in your shoes; this is what I did, this is what can help."
There was an episode in Season 1 where she talks to her husband. [For that] specifically, what's the reason behind why Melissa and her husband broke up, I know as an actor what I think happened. You have to know the entire life and what they lived. It's not as simple as what's just in the script. All of it has to matter. You have to know exactly what their history is. Are you still mad at them? And is there a piece of you that still is like, "You were cheating with that whore down the street," you want to kill the guy? Or is it just that it didn't work out, you were too young? It's the threshold work.
Is that something we will actually get the answers to this season?
It would be funny to learn. And also, I think the stuff with Gary is so fun, but something's got to go wrong. You know how in all of your relationships you're always carrying whatever from your past relationships into this new one and screwing it up because of that? That could be a fun story.
Similarly, we got to go home with Melissa earlier in the season and meet her sister. What are the elements of Melissa and that relationship you most want to play next?
With Lauren Weedman, who plays my sister, she and I fight so brilliantly, but there are some things coming up and I can't tell you exactly because Quinta would murder me, but here is the promise I'll make to you: You will see some stuff coming up that are exactly the kinds of things that I want to play and it might involve us flipping the relationship a little bit.
I will say this, my sister and I — my actual sister — were a year and a half apart and we fought like cats and dogs over everything. Everything. She would steal my clothes. I'd be the one to save all my money and buy clothes and she was cheap and wouldn't buy anything. She'd go to Lerner's and she'd be like, 'You should buy this' and then the next thing I know, it's in her closet, I can't find it. So, we would come to blows over things, but when we were in upper grades — middle school and high school — I remember a couple of times where somebody at a party went over and got physical with her, some dude that was drunk yoked her arm up behind her back, and people said afterwards that they didn't even see my feet hit the floor. I went from one side to the other side of the room and I was on his back, punching his head. So I'm just saying. That's not going to happen, but
But having her around is a challenge, just like having a teacher's aide who doesn't really assist is a challenge. Is Ashley going to be back?
The whole season with Melissa is about being super challenged. Obviously teachers get challenged all the time: You have no budget, now you're teaching two classes at one time; you're gonna get help, but that help makes it worse. So yes, you're gonna see her come back, and I will just tell you this, it's hilarious.
Is it less challenging?
Not necessarily. That wouldn't be funny.
No, but maybe we want to see some growth. For Ashley anyway.
I think with all the characters we see changes and growth. The only one, to me, who is so entrenched that you go, "I don't know if they're gonna change" is really, Mrs. Barbara Howard. You go, "Why would she change?" She truly believes that she has got this nailed and she's perfect. But even with that, she learns little lessons along the way. And every scene I get to play with Sheryl, we are so comfortable together that, truthfully, the things that would be fun for me as an actor to play is a new dynamic with Ava because we are basically, in that school, the only ones that don't try to play the other one. Janelle [James] has said Melissa doesn't try to clown Ava; she's the only one she won't. But I think it would be funny to go a little head-to-head, and I think with Sheryl [Lee Ralph] what would be fun is for some things to come along where we don't have answers — where we are lost together, so that we are actually unbalanced. And that's fun because you see them doing things in a new way. Sometimes even when they care, they don't do things the right way. They probably wouldn't ultimately fail; it would be a lesson learned.
Abbott Elementary airs at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on ABC.
Get to know Lisa Ann Walter:
Among a certain generation, Walter is best known (and most beloved) for her performance as Chessy in the 1988 remake of The Parent Trap (Metascore: 64). Other notable film roles include work in Bruce Almighty (46) and Shall We Dance (47), but she has also been a television staple for just as long, beginning with her stint on My Wildest Dreams and continuing through work on Emeril, The Exes (49), Grey's Anatomy (62), and now Abbott Elementary (83).

Bay Area museums, amusement parks (plus a festival) for active kids
Peter HartlaubJune 14, 2019Updated: June 20, 2019, 1:18 pm

The Bay Area is a fantastic place to be a kid, especially in the summer, when there's time to appreciate the hundreds of cool places and events that feed fun-loving and inquisitive minds.
Most big cities have been improving park infrastructure in recent years — the Oakland Zoo has expanded, and reliable destinations such as Children's Fairyland and the Exploratorium keep getting better — allowing families more options. That also makes it harder to choose where to spend your time and money.
For this list, The Chronicle is focusing on some of the region's best educational parks, museums and events, and one very underappreciated amusement park that's outside the Bay Area but an easy drive.
Berkeley Kite Festival
This long-running free festival combines kites enormous and small in one huge park, turning the sky into a colorful dancing wonderland. Parking can be tough, but free shuttles run from Golden Gate Fields.
10 a.m.-6 p.m. July 27-28. Free. Cesar E. Chavez Park, Berkeley. www.highlinekites.com
Lawrence Hall of Science
The science and technology museum adjacent to UC Berkeley has been entertaining children and their lucky adult chaperones for generations. Added benefit to the very reasonable entry cost: The sprawling back patio has one of the best views in the Bay Area.
10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily $12-$16. 1 Centennial Drive, Berkeley. www.lawrencehallofscience.org
Chung Lung the Happy Dragon guards the entrance to Children's Fairyland in Oakland. Photo: Laura Morton, Special to The Chronicle 2017
Children's Fairyland
One of the greatest success stories of any Bay Area nonprofit, this nursery-rhyme-themed amusement park has thrived as a no-tech escape for small children and their families. Children are required for entry, but the park has periodic Fairyland for Grownups events at night.
10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. $12. 699 Bellevue Ave., Oakland. www.fairyland.org
The Exploratorium embraced the maker movement four decades before there was a name for it. The move to the Embarcadero hasn't made the educational museum any less expensive, but the views are stunning, and memberships are an incredible value.
10 a.m.-5 p.m. $19.95-$29.95. Pier 15, S.F. www.exploratorium.edu

Gilroy Gardens
If you have children, don't discover this just-outside-the-Bay Area gem too late. Gilroy Gardens is a lushly landscaped park with rides aimed at kids. It has a very chill vibe, with a lot of young children, parents who are grateful for the shade and older customers who like the horticulture (Gilroy Gardens has its "circus trees," and was originally planned as a tree-themed park).

Q: How to filtering using dropdown list I am new to asp.net mvc , I will appreciate your help.
I designed a dropdown list which retrieves a list of names from database, I want to filter once the dropdown list selected.
my view:
<div>@Html.DropDownList("DropDownList", "Select")</div>

public ActionResult Index(string DropDownList)
    if (DropDownList == "Unknown") {
       searchPerson = searchPerson.Where(o => o.Person.PersonStatusId == 1);
    }
    if (DropDownList == "Brother") { //something selected
        searchPerson = searchPerson.Where(o => o.Person.PersonStatusId == 4);
    }

It does not give me an error when I run , but it does not do anything. I want the filter begins once you select one of the option in drop down list ..
Many Thanks.

A: You need to make the call to the back end. It wont just fire unless you set up the ajax call.
Jquery
//This will fire when you select a value. Make sure that the select list has the same id as
//the one you are listening to. For instance Here the Id im listening to is selectList.

$("#selectList").change(function(){

    $.get("@Url.Action("GetPeople")",{id : $(this).val()}, function(results){
         //do what you want with results
    })

})

Make another get method in your back end. Calling the index method would be more for getting a view rather than data.
C#
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GetPeople(int id)
{
    //returned as json
    return Json(searchPerson.Where(o => o.Person.PersonStatusId == id));
}

In your selectlist have the text be the same but have the value be what ever the corresponding PersonStatusId is. This way you aren't having to do those if statements.
I can explain this in more detail if you need me to.

Brick Buildings of Zabid

Shaharah, Yemen
Like many Yemeni towns, Zabid is an old, interesting city rich with cultural and religious artifacts. An intricate set of labyrinthine alleys criss-crosses the city, beyond which stand centuries-old clay brick houses. Their facades have beautifully elaborate stuccoed patterns that draw from Arabic, African, and Indian traditions.
Keep an eye out for intricate abstract designs, floral patterns, animals, and calligraphy. These patterns also extend to the interior of some houses. Some buildings even feature the Star of David, which attests to Yemen's Jewish tradition and Zabid's past as a hub for culture and religion.
The traditional buildings are constructed from a mix of clay and mud brick, limestone, and wood. Some even have thatched roofs. It's a style of architecture that appears throughout the Tihama plain, but is most common in Zabid.
Unfortunately, newer buildings are threatening some of its most exquisite traditional brick architecture. A worrying number of these historic houses have been replaced by concrete buildings inside the city walls. A small population boom after the Gulf War prompted people to either renovate the old buildings or replace them with newer structures. Some of the traditional houses that managed to survive tend to remain neglected due to poverty.
According to UNESCO, around 40 percent of the city's historic structures have been compromised, prompting it to put the city on its "List of World Heritage in Danger."
Zabid is one of the oldest settlements still inhabited in Yemen. Based on historical records, it was already in existence by 631 A.D. Zabid eventually became the capital of Yemen from the 13th to the 15th century. A thick wall surrounds and defines the boundaries of the city.
The construction of the Great Mosque (Asa'ir) was started in the 9th century. It's still standing in all its ancient majesty, and is just one of the city's 86 mosques. With slightly more than 800 people living in the city, there is more than one mosque per 10 people, giving Zabid the highest concentration of mosques in Yemen.

The educational intention at Cedar Springs Church is that members of all ages and maturity levels will be offered opportunities to grow spiritually in the knowledge of God's word. We believe that it is the Word of God that changes us into the people God desires for us to be as we find ways to live and serve in his Church. We believe that individuals who follow Christ, and commit to the study of his Word do in fact experience a heart-change. This heart-change results in a longing to please and glorify the God who has saved us. To this end, we attempt to offer various opportunities to study the Word of God.
