Tie me up! Tie me down!
One might expect a review of Bound to open by noting that the movie shouldn't be confused with the 1996 Jennifer Tilly/Gina Gershon thriller of the same name, but production company the Asylum would probably be happy if audiences did confuse it with that movie. More likely, they're hoping audiences will confuse Bound with 50 Shades of Grey, the upcoming adaptation of the mega-popular erotic novel that is clearly the impetus behind Bound's existence. Yes, this is another mockbuster from the company that brought you Transmorphers, Snakes on a Train and Atlantic Rim, the last of which was helmed by Bound writer-director Jared Cohn.
Cohn was also responsible for Asylum productions Jailbait and Bikini Spring Break, so it might be misguided to expect him to handle sexual content with respect and nuance. Strangely enough, though, while Bound may not be a good movie, it's not a terrible representation of female sexuality and BDSM, and it deals head-on with the abusive undertones that many have pointed out in the central relationship of 50 Shades. It also refreshingly features a female lead two decades older than the main character of 50 Shades, former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel co-star Charisma Carpenter, who brings more talent than is usually found in an Asylum production to the role of real estate broker Michelle Milan. Daniel Baldwin, however, playing Michelle's father/boss, sounds like he's reading all of his lines from cue cards he's never seen before, which is more in line with the typical effort from Asylum's version of A-list stars.
A workaholic single mother with a teenage daughter and an unsatisfying sex life, Michelle meets mysterious younger man Ryan (model Bryce Draper) at a restaurant, and soon he's making uncomfortable sexual demands of her. Red flags should perhaps go off for Michelle when Ryan accuses her of being a daddy's girl and then declares, "I'm your father, your master, your husband, your god," but instead she's excited by his version of BDSM, which mostly involves being a total jerk and messing up her chances to negotiate a major deal at work.
At first the movie seems to be setting up the skeevy Ryan as some sort of sexual savior for Michelle, but it soon becomes clear that he's nothing more than an abusive douchebag who uses BDSM as an excuse for his bad behavior. Cohn presents a few enlightening scenes that emphasize the respect and consent of actual BDSM relationships, and even though the climactic confrontation between Michelle and Ryan ends up being pretty tame, it offers up something resembling a satisfying character arc for Michelle.
Carpenter helps bring that arc to life in a performance that deserves better than an Asylum production, but Draper's acting is vapid and flaccid, and the sex scenes, despite featuring copious topless footage of Carpenter, aren't particularly sensual. The production values are predictably low, with scenes taking place in suspiciously sparse, under-populated locations, and there's an obvious rushed quality to the entire enterprise (at one point a character's name changes from Peter to Paul within the same scene, possibly because the filmmakers couldn't afford a second take).
And while the story of Michelle's sexual awakening is surprisingly not awful, at least half the plot is taken up with tedious, unconvincing negotiations in Michelle's effort to save her father's company via some sort of nonsensical corporate merger. That kind of cheap time-killing is an Asylum trademark, and just because Bound stumbles into something resembling actual insight from time to time doesn't mean that it isn't, at heart, just another product of the Asylum assembly line.

This was a bad movie in my opinion and it was a ghetto version of fifty shades of grey like shit! It's was terrible acting and horrible a cast. The lady was a bad choice for her actor as goes for the male Ryan. All in all Just terrible

I love it. The douchebag is typical of these masters. Always interesting why the sexy woman lends herself to such punishment. In this movie at least it opens the page on her retaliation. Also a mature woman. Not great, not too bad.

Q: Merging 2 functions under one Private Sub I'm trying to merge 2 different functions under one Private Sub but keep getting "Block If without End If" error. Cant seem to crack this. I've tried to make it work but keep getting same error?
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Fill in Date when checked.
Dim rngColJ As Range
Dim rngColA As Range
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rngg As Range
Dim xOffsetColumn As Integer
Set rngColJ = Intersect(Application.ActiveSheet.Range("J:J"), Target)
xOffsetColumn = 20

Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not rngColJ Is Nothing Then
    For Each Rng In rngColJ
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy, hh:mm:ss"
        Else
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If
    Next
End If

Set rngColA = Intersect(Application.ActiveSheet.Range("A:A"), Target)
xOffsetColumn = 4

If Not rngColA Is Nothing Then
    For Each Rng In rngColA
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
        Else
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If

    Next
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

A: You don't have a Next associated with For Each Rng In WorkRng.
Also note: your Application.EnableEvents is within the If Not WorkRngg block, so, structurally it looks like you've not matched your loop and if statements properly.
The problem right now is that the compiler is confused because your For Each loop is encountering an End If when it should be hitting a Next. Of course it doesn't know that, it just knows that what you have is syntactically incorrect.
Something like so:
If Not WorkRng Is Nothing Then
    For Each Rng In WorkRng
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy, hh:mm:ss"
        Else
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If
    Next
End If

If Not WorkRngg Is Nothing Then
    For Each Rngg In WorkRngg
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then  '<~~ possibly this should be (Rngg.Value)?
            Rngg.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rngg.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
        Else
            Rngg.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If

    Next
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I'd also suggest finding a better naming convention than Rng and Rngg, etc. it's going to be easy to make difficult-to-troubleshoot typographical errors, as you may have done within the For Each Rngg in WorkRngg loop.
Since you're using Rng as an iterator, you don't need both. Just use Rng in both loops. You'd only need both variables if you were working with two different range's concurrently. so:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Fill in Date when checked.
Dim rngColJ As Range
Dim rngColA As Range
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rngg As Range
Dim xOffsetColumn As Integer
Set rngColJ = Intersect(Application.ActiveSheet.Range("J:J"), Target)
Set rngColA = Intersect(Application.ActiveSheet.Range("A:A"), Target)

Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not rngColJ Is Nothing Then
    xOffsetColumn = 20
    For Each Rng In rngColJ
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy, hh:mm:ss"
        Else
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If
    Next
End If

If Not rngColA Is Nothing Then
    xOffsetColumn = 4
    For Each Rng In rngColA
        If Not VBA.IsEmpty(Rng.Value) Then
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).Value = Now
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
        Else
            Rng.Offset(0, xOffsetColumn).ClearContents
        End If

    Next
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Derry News
Man arrested in connection with aggravated burglary and vehicle taking in Derry
Police appealing for information
Burglary occurred at weekend.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested in Derry on suspicion of a number of offences including burglary, aggravated vehicle-taking causing damage to the vehicle and assault on police.
The arrest follows reports of two burglaries in the Coshquin Road area at some stage during the night of Saturday and the morning of Sunday last.
PSNI Detective Constable McDonald said: "It was reported, early on Sunday morning, that entry had been forced to two houses in the Coshquin Road area. Money and jewellery were among the items stolen from the two properties. Keys to a car were also taken during the intrusion, and a subsequent attempt was made – on Sunday night – to steal the actual vehicle.
"This has been a distressing experience for all of the victims concerned.
"We have arrested a 20-year-old man, who remains in custody assisting with enquiries.
"Our enquiries are continuing and I would appeal to anyone who may have been in the Coshquin Road area of the city and noticed any suspicious activity, including vehicles, to contact our detectives at Strand Road on the non-emergency number 101,quoting reference 606 of 15/12/19."
DC McDonald said information could also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.

Q: php | wordpress | sort array of values I'm working in Wordpress with a custom post type of ''publications."  Originally, each "publication" was assigned to a single "category," and getting them to display by category was simple...
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'publications', 'meta_key' => 'publications_category', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'ASC');
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

Then the client decided they wanted to assign the same "publication" to multiple "categories," and my meta_key became an array.  And now I can't get the "publications" to sort alphabetically by "category."
Because my meta_key is now an array, I removed the 'meta_key', 'order_by' and 'order' from the query. Here's what I have been testing...
<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'publications');
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
$cp_category = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'publications_categories', true); // assign a var to the array
foreach ($cp_category as $category) { // iterate through the array
the_title();  // print the title
echo '

' . $category . '

'; //  print the category
}
endwhile;
?>

I have tried various sort() functions on the array with not luck.
There are six categories. The values are strings: 'cabg_vs_opcab', 'high_risk_patients', 'mortality_and_morbidity', 'stroke', 'clampless_beating_heart', and 'economics.'
Here is what the output looks like.  I added a print_r() to diplay the array above each entry:
http://offpump.com/clinical-publications/

All I want to do is order the entries by their category so I'm hoping there is a way to do that.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

A: You should not sort them alphabetically after retrieving them from the database.
To avoid any duplicate processing you should fetch them pre-sorted.
Quick search led me to the syntax for wordpress queries:
$args = array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'meta_key' => 'pb_issue_featured',
        'orderby'   => 'meta_value',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page' => $posts,
        'paged' => $paged,
        'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'headline',
                'value' => 1,
                'compare' => '!='
                )
            )
        );
$q = new WP_Query($args);

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/109849/order-by-desc-asc-in-custom-wp-query

A: So since the only 'compare' parameter that worked for me was "LIKE" I ended up using it.  The page/template has a loop for each "LIKE" query -- six in all -- and it works fine b/c there are not that many posts.
I'm determined to find a better solution, however, and will come back and post it when I get there.
Thanks to all who helped.

Investment and Trade main driver for India-Uzbekistan Cooperation
Mr. Avaz Khodjiev recalled old historical and cultural connections and discussed ways to further expand and strengthen economical ties at the meeting in World Trade Center Mumbai
"India is a strategic partner for Uzbekistan with a current bilateral trade of US$ 320 million which has potential to reach 1 billion in the coming years in sectors such as minerals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, chemicals, oil and gas, automotive, agriculture, construction material, logistics, light, IT, communication etc.", said Mr. Avaz D. Khodjiev, Counselor (Trade & Economic), Republic of Uzbekistan in India, at an interactive session on 'Doing Business with Uzbekistan held at the World Trade Center Mumbai which was jointly organized by World Trade Center Mumbai and All India Association of Industries.
Mr. Y. R. Warerkar, Executive Director, WTC Mumbai, Mr. Arun Meghani, Member of the Council of Management, WTC Mumbai, Mr. Vijay Kalantri, Honorary Consul, Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Mumbai, Vice Chairman, WTC Mumbai and President, All India Association of Industries, Mr. Avaz Khodjiev, Counselor (Trade & Economic), Republic of Uzbekistan in India, Capt. Somesh Batra, Vice Chairman, WTC Mumbai[/caption]
Mr. Khodjiev, presented on the 'Export Potential of Republic of Uzbekistan' where he highlighted the macroeconomic stability of his country with an inflation rate of 7 per cent and GDP growth rate of 8 percent, 30 times increase in export growth with steady decrease in tax burden and focus on small business and private entrepreneurship contributing to job creation of 77 per cent of the employed population. Uzbekistan has a stable banking and financial system which is in consonance with Basel Core Principles. The country has been ranked among the 5 fastest growing economies of the world according to the World Economic Forum.
Speaking on the potential of Uzbekistan, Mr. Khodjiev highlighted the investment opportunities pertaining to low cost of energy resources (gas, electricity), general and special incentives (tax, custom, cotton), easy availability of vast stocks of raw material (cotton, yarn) and skilled labour in traditional textile production and access to international markets."Although we produce 10 million fresh food and flowers, we lack in the technology know-how of food processing, where India could play a major role in filling the gap", he opined.
Further, he stated that there is tremendous potential for Indian investors in the special economic zones namely, 'Navoi', 'Angren' and 'Jizzakh' in Uzbekistan. In addition, Uzbekistan organizes more than 50 international exhibitions every year to promote trade and investments.
Mr. Vijay Kalantri, Honorary Consul, Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Mumbai, Vice Chairman, World Trade Center Mumbai and President, All India Association of Industries presented the opening remarks. Mr. Kalantri said, "With improvements in the ease of doing business and the Indian government's new initiatives, there are innumerable opportunities for trade and investment between Uzbekistan and India. Both governments can enhance connectivity by participating in the International North South Transport Corridor project involving ship, rail and road route between India, Russia, Iran, Europe and Central Asia". Mr. Kalantri suggested that Uzbekistan should explore possibilities for direct flights between India and Uzbekistan. There is considerable scope for cooperation in various sectors such as mining, automobile parts, tourism and logistics.
Capt. Somesh Batra, Vice Chairman, World Trade Center Mumbai suggested that "India - Uzbekistan Business Forum should be held in Mumbai and Tashkent to discuss and identify trade and investment opportunities. This exchange of delegations and trade information will facilitate and strengthen bilateral trade between the two countries".

School of Dentistry Students Receive Awards from Hinman Dental Society
UNC Adams School of Dentistry, Monday, May 21st, 2018
The Hinman Dental Society awarded scholarships to two students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, Elnaz "Ellie" Gharah-Bash and Ryan T. Gross, both DDS Candidates 2019. The students were recognized at the 106th Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, which brought together more than 20,000 dental professionals from across the country.
"I am so honored to have been selected for this prestigious award," said Gross. "The Hinman Dental Society represents aspects of dentistry for which I am extremely passionate—lifelong learning, collegial connections, and student support—and I could not be more grateful to represent our school in this way."
"I am beyond grateful and humbled for receiving this award," said Gharah-Bash. "I would like to thank the Dean's office for nominating me for the Hinman's Award among all other deserving students. I am glad that I chose UNC to pursue my passion for dentistry; UNC has offered nothing but the best I could ever ask for. This award made me even more determined to work hard and help those in need of care."
This year, the Hinman Dental Society awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships and gifts, a tradition it has upheld since 1986. The awards went to 90 dental, dental hygiene and dental assisting students at 47 southeastern colleges and universities, including students in schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
"Hinman is proud to have supported student programs in the Southeast for more than three decades. Over the past 17 years alone, the Hinman Dental Society has contributed nearly $9 million in scholarships and large gifts in support of dental education," said Dr. Patrick Yancey III, General Chairman for Hinman 2018. "In addition to providing scholarships and endowments, Hinman invites students to attend the meeting to learn the latest in the profession, network with established dentists and prepare for a successful career in dentistry."
The Hinman Dental Society has promoted continuing education in the dental profession since 1912. The dean or director of each school's dentistry, dental hygiene and dental assisting departments selects recipients. As part of their award, Hinman Scholars are invited to attend the Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Hinman Dental Society, a non-profit organization, sponsors the Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting. The first meeting was held in 1912 by Dr. Thomas P. Hinman and was considered the first clinic strictly for serious-minded educational purposes. The meeting developed a reputation for devotion to detail and hospitality that continued to grow through the years with every meeting. Today, the meeting continues to focus on providing the best possible continuing dental education for the whole dental team. All excess revenue from the meeting is invested and gifted in the form of individual scholarships to dental, hygiene, assisting and lab tech students and contributions to institutions that foster dental education.

SUBCHAPTER MM. PREFERRED MORTALITY TABLES
28 TAC §§3.9401 - 3.9404
1. INTRODUCTION. The Texas Department of Insurance proposes new Subchapter MM, §§3.9401-3.9404, concerning the optional use of preferred mortality tables for life insurance policies issued on and after January 1, 2007, excluding any disability and accidental death benefits in such policies. These new sections are necessary to allow the use of preferred mortality tables for valuation purposes only. Insurance Code Article 3.28 authorizes a company to use any ordinary mortality table that is adopted after 1980 by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and approved by regulation promulgated by the Commissioner. In September 2006, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners adopted ordinary mortality tables that reflect differences in mortality between preferred and standard lives in determining minimum reserve liabilities.
Proposed §3.9401 specifies the purpose of the subchapter. Proposed §3.9402 sets forth definitions used in the subchapter. Proposed §3.9403 allows an insurer to substitute the 2001 Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table in place of the 2001 CSO Smoker or Nonsmoker Mortality Table as the minimum valuation standard for policies issued on or after January 1, 2007 and adopts the 2001 Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table by reference. Proposed §3.9404 sets out conditions on the use of the 2001 Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table and requires each insurer that opts to use the preferred mortality tables to file statistical reports showing experience, which can be used in future updates to the preferred mortality tables.
2. FISCAL NOTE. Betty Patterson, Senior Associate Commissioner, Financial Program, has determined that for each of the first five years the proposed sections will be in effect, there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the sections. There will be no measurable effect on local employment or the local economy as a result of the proposal.
3. PUBLIC BENEFIT/COST NOTE. Ms. Patterson has also determined that for each year of the first five years the proposed new sections are in effect, the anticipated public benefits include enhanced availability of life insurance coverage and reduced need for price increases to cover redundant reserves. Such public benefits are more prominent for term life insurance covering insureds who are in excellent health (super preferred risks) and good health (preferred risks) based on underwriting criteria at issue.
An insurer may use the preferred mortality tables authorized by this rule at its option. Costs for insurers that choose to implement the 2001 Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table include actuarial costs and programming costs. Actuarial costs would include required annual certifications, reserve calculations, workpapers, and reporting of experience, though reporting experience will not be required until reporting requirements have been adopted by the Commissioner. Actuarial hourly rates range from $25 (for actuarial students) to over $200 (for fully credentialed actuaries). Hourly rates for programming would range from $25 to $120. The Department anticipates, however, that costs of compliance will be significantly offset by savings in costs otherwise needed to support redundant reserves such as reinsurance costs. Subsequent and ongoing costs of compliance are believed to be substantially less than the initial costs of compliance. For companies that choose to implement these tables, there will be some fixed costs related to the initial and annual actuarial certification(s). However, most of the impact of these requirements is believed to be more directly correlated to the amount of term life business issued to preferred risks for which a company implements these tables than to the size of the company. Based on input from the insurance industry, reserves may be expected to decrease by an average of 15 percent to 18 percent for issue ages 25 and 35 and an average of 12 percent to 14 percent for issue ages 45 and 55 for term life products using these preferred tables. This is based on a term life coverage of 20 years with level premiums, level death benefits, and a prior reserve table of 2001 CSO Nonsmoker without use of the select factors, with prevalence factors of 35 percent super preferred, 35 percent preferred, and 30 percent residual lives. The reserve reductions by company will vary depending on the prevalence of super preferred, preferred, and residual risks written. (Residual risks are those insureds that were not deemed super preferred or preferred risks based on underwriting criteria at issue.)
Small or micro businesses may be affected to the extent that there are small insurance companies who underwrite preferred risks. Even if the proposal may have an adverse effect on small and micro-business, the proposal is optional for them, as it is for all businesses. The Department has considered the purpose of the applicable statute, which is to enable the use of preferred mortality tables, and has determined that it is neither legal nor feasible to waive the provisions of the proposal for insurers that qualify as small or micro-businesses under Government Code §2006.001 and that opt to use the preferred mortality tables. Additionally, it is the Department's position that to waive or modify the requirements of the proposed amendments for small or micro-businesses could result in a disparate effect on policyholders and other persons affected by the proposed sections.
4. REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. To be considered, written comments on the proposal must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on February 5, 2007 , to Gene C. Jarmon, General Counsel and Chief Clerk, Mail Code 113-2A, Texas Department of Insurance, P.O. Box 149104, Austin, TX 78714-9104. An additional copy of the comment must be simultaneously submitted to Betty Patterson, Senior Associate Commissioner, Financial Program, Mail Code 305-2A, Texas Department of Insurance, P.O. Box 149104, Austin, TX 78714-9104. Any request for a public hearing should be submitted separately to the Office of the Chief Clerk before the close of the public comment period. If a hearing is held, oral and written comments presented at the hearing will be considered.
5. STATUTORY AUTHORITY. The new sections are proposed under the Insurance Code Article 3.28 and §36.001. Article 3.28, §3(a)(iii) provides for the use of any ordinary mortality table adopted after 1980 by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that is approved by regulation promulgated by the Commissioner for use in determining the minimum standard valuation for life insurance policies, excluding any disability and accidental death benefits in such policies. Section 36.001 provides that the Commissioner may adopt any rules necessary and appropriate to implement the powers and duties of the Texas Department of Insurance under the Insurance Code and other laws of this state.
6. CROSS REFERENCE TO STATUTE. The following statutes are affected by this proposal:
Rule Statute
§§3.4051 - 3.4509 Insurance Code Article 3.28
§§3.9101 - 3.9106
7. TEXT.
§3.9401. Purpose. The purpose of this subchapter is to recognize and permit the use of mortality tables that reflect differences in mortality between preferred and standard lives in determining minimum reserve liabilities in accordance with Insurance Code Article 3.28, §3(a)(iii) and §3.4505 of this title (relating to General Calculation requirements for Basic Reserves and Premium Deficiency Reserves).
§3.9402. Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
(1) 2001 CSO Mortality Table--Mortality tables, consisting of separate rates of mortality for male and female lives, developed by the American Academy of Actuaries CSO Task Force from the Valuation Basic Mortality Table developed by the Society of Actuaries Individual Life Insurance Valuation Mortality Task Force, and adopted by the NAIC in December 2002. The 2001 CSO Mortality Table is included in the Proceedings of the NAIC (2 nd Quarter 2002) and supplemented by the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table defined below. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the 2001 CSO Mortality Table includes both the ultimate form of that table and the select and ultimate form of that table and includes both the smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables and the composite mortality tables. It also includes both the age-nearest-birthday and age-last-birthday bases of the mortality tables. Mortality tables in the 2001 CSO Mortality Table include the following:
(A) 2001 CSO Mortality Table (F)--Mortality table consisting of the rates of mortality for female lives from the 2001 CSO Mortality Table.
(B) 2001 CSO Mortality Table (M)--Mortality table consisting of the rates of mortality for male lives from the 2001 CSO Mortality Table.
(C) Composite mortality tables--Mortality tables with rates of mortality that do not distinguish between smokers and nonsmokers.
(D) Smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables--Mortality tables with separate rates of mortality for smokers and nonsmokers.
(2) 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table--Mortality tables with separate rates of mortality for super preferred nonsmokers, preferred nonsmokers, residual standard nonsmokers, preferred smokers, and residual standard smoker splits of the 2001 CSO Nonsmoker and Smoker tables as adopted by the NAIC at the September 2006 national meeting and published in the Proceedings of the NAIC (3 rd Quarter 2006). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table includes both the ultimate form of that table and the select and ultimate form of that table. It includes both the smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables. It includes both the male and female mortality tables and the gender composite mortality tables. It also includes both the age-nearest-birthday and age-last-birthday bases of the mortality table.
(3) Statistical agent--An entity with proven systems for protecting the confidentiality of individual insured and insurer information, demonstrated resources for and history of ongoing electronic communications and data transfer ensuring data integrity with insurers, which are its members or subscribers, and a history of and means for aggregation of data and accurate promulgation of the experience modifications in a timely manner.
§3.9403. 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Table.
(a) At the election of the insurer, for each calendar year of issue, for any one or more specified plans of insurance and subject to satisfying the conditions stated in this subchapter, the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table may be substituted in place of the 2001 CSO Smoker or Nonsmoker Mortality Table as the minimum valuation standard for policies issued on or after January 1, 2007. No such election shall be made until the insurer demonstrates that at least 20 percent of the business to be valued on this table is in one or more of the preferred classes. A table from the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table used in place of a 2001 CSO Mortality Table, pursuant to the requirements of this subchapter, will be treated as part of the 2001 CSO Mortality Table only for purposes of reserve valuation pursuant to the requirements of §§3.9101 - 3.9106 of this title (relating to 2001 CSO Mortality Table).
(b) The Commissioner of Insurance adopts by reference the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Mortality Table. The table is available from the Actuarial Division, Texas Department of Insurance, Mail Code 302-3A, 333 Guadalupe, Austin , Texas 78701 or on the internet by accessing the Department's website at www.tdi.state.tx.us/company/ficso.html
§3.9404. Conditions.
(a) For each plan of insurance with separate rates for preferred and standard nonsmoker lives, an insurer may use the super preferred nonsmoker, preferred nonsmoker, and residual standard nonsmoker tables to substitute for the nonsmoker mortality table found in the 2001 CSO Mortality Table to determine minimum reserves. At the time of election and annually thereafter, except for business valued under the residual standard nonsmoker table, the appointed actuary shall certify that:
(1) the present value of death benefits over the next ten years after the valuation date, using the anticipated mortality experience without recognition of mortality improvement beyond the valuation date for each class, is less than the present value of death benefits using the valuation basic table corresponding to the valuation table being used for that class; and
(2) the present value of death benefits over the future life of the contracts, using anticipated mortality experience without recognition of mortality improvement beyond the valuation date for each class, is less than the present value of death benefits using the valuation basic table corresponding to the valuation table being used for that class.
(b) For each plan of insurance with separate rates for preferred and standard smoker lives, an insurer may use the preferred smoker and residual standard smoker tables to substitute for the smoker mortality table found in the 2001 CSO Mortality Table to determine minimum reserves. At the time of election and annually thereafter, for business valued under the preferred smoker table, the appointed actuary shall certify that:
(1) the present value of death benefits over the next ten years after the valuation date, using the anticipated mortality experience without recognition of mortality improvement beyond the valuation date for each class, is less than the present value of death benefits using the preferred smoker valuation basic table; and
(2) the present value of death benefits over the future life of the contracts, using anticipated mortality experience without recognition of mortality improvement beyond the valuation date for each class, is less than the present value of death benefits using the preferred smoker valuation basic table.
(c) Unless exempted by the commissioner, every insurer using the 2001 CSO Preferred Class Structure Table shall annually file with the commissioner, with the NAIC, or with a statistical agent designated by the NAIC and acceptable to the commissioner, statistical reports showing mortality and such other information as the commissioner may deem necessary or expedient for the administration of the provisions of this regulation. The form of the reports shall be established by the commissioner, or the commissioner may require the use of a form established by the NAIC or by a statistical agent designated by the NAIC and acceptable to the commissioner. The form of the statistical reports shall be promulgated by rule. Insurers are not required to file such statistical reports until such rule has been adopted by the commissioner. At the commissioner' discretion, the commissioner may request mortality and other information at any time.

I had the perfect childhood.
Neighborhood friends, squirt guns, laser tag, kick the can, N64, Mario Kart, Goldeneye, packed lunches, family dinners, amazing parents who loved me (even after I blew up my treehouse) and a weird, cuddly Miniature Schnauzer named Angel.
When I think of my childhood, happy thoughts come to mind. I can only remember the best of times spent making homemade videos, playing capture the flag, eating Airheads, watching "Saving Private Ryan," doorbell ditching, having sleepovers, playing pranks during those sleepovers and wandering the neighborhood streets with my friends in the wee hours of the morning.
It was all truly perfect. Filled with kindness, love, adventure, suspense, sugar rushes and friendship.
So when I saw a psychologist during my sophomore year in college, I couldn't satisfy her with a simple answer that might have explained my panic attacks, constant stress and anxiety, spurts of drowning depression and everything else that made beautiful days feel wasted.
Why was I having panic attacks during class? Why was I waking up from daytime naps with fear and a pounding heart? Why was I so unmotivated and tired and afraid of getting out of bed? Why was I so scared? What caused this?
I had so many questions yet no answers.
This lack of answers made me believe that if it weren't for the anxiety itself, I would have never had anxiety in the first place. I understand that this statement may seem trivial and obvious, but it's also the most true.
I really feel like my anxiety came from nowhere, like it was inherent -- like the beating of my heart, my need for sleep and my draw to impassioned music.
Because my severe anxiety lacked obvious roots, it was intolerably difficult to understand and manage. It was also incredibly frustrating for me as well as for my dear psychologist.
Where Did My Anxiety Come From?
At first, I thought everything stemmed from simple things in life: childhood acne, occasional bullying, family tension and deep existential thoughts with no resolutions.
But after thinking more about the origin of my anxiety and having lengthy discussions with friends, family members and a psychologist, I realized that "life" was only a small part of anxiety's long equation.
I'm no psychologist, nor do I read extensively about anxiety and depression or their causes. I am, however, someone who trusts his gut and has been aware of his feelings from a young age.
It would make sense if my problems stemmed from acne if my high school pimples left huge craters on my face. But they didn't. It would make sense if my problems stemmed from familial events if my parents were mean-spirited people. But they're not.
When I thought more about the origin of my anxiety, three things came to mind that led me to realize my problems weren't largely life-related.
Up until that presentation (I must have been 12 years old at the time), I loved reading aloud in class and was comfortable speaking my mind in front of large groups of people.
I felt strange when I was walking up to the front of the class, like I was facing a matter of life and death. It was the first time that I met anxiety and let it win.
I wasn't strong enough to fight it and because I was too inexperienced to handle such a complex thing, I unintentionally invited it to come back and prey on me some more. And it did, for years. Days within those years felt like years themselves.
It continued to take advantage of my inability to understand it and fight back until I finally chose to do something about it during college.
I chose to see a psychologist, which was a brave and important step in controlling my anxiety — the same anxiety that made me suffer, yet somehow appreciate life and its people in a deeper, more open way. Seeing a psychologist is one of the ways I controlled my anxiety.
It was so severe that at one point, I swear she made the air around her heavy with sadness, fear and hopelessness. I knew she had been relatively sad since my grandpa died, but I never knew to what extent. Looking back, I realize that her husband's death awakened in her the same thing that "The Girl Who Owned a City" presentation awakened in me.
She lost an initial battle with anxiety — a battle that came years after her grieving — and unintentionally let the little devil make a home insider her like I let it in fifth grade.
Just recently, I learned that my cousin was diagnosed with anxiety — at the age of 8.
I believed the news almost instantly, not due to my cousin's lively, energetic personality but because I already knew that anxiety ran deep in the Gibb family – my family.
If you have anxiety and depression with an origin that's hard to locate, I hope you realize that you're not alone. I also hope you realize that there's nothing you did that caused the stubborn episodes you're experiencing.
You didn't cause it. It's not your fault. And more importantly, you can live better. You can stop those episodes of depression or anxiety in their tracks and live the life you want to live.
I know because I have trudged through the sh*t and emerged victorious — just like you will.
But before you go out and start living better, I want to leave you with something. This isn't just for people who constantly battling severe anxiety and depression. This is for anyone who has let even the smallest and rarest episodes of anxiety or depression negatively affect their days.
-I embrace it. I feel it. I recognize that it's there and try to identify the stressor that caused it. And then, whether I locate the stressor or not, I let go and I don't hold on.
-I listen to inspiring people who have battled lifelong episodes of anxiety and depression. One of my favorite people to listen to is Andrew Solomon: a haunting, eloquent man with mind-blowing insight.
-I let people in on the secret that I'm anxious and depressed and need someone to talk to. I then talk to them, listen to them and recognize how loved I am.
-I occupy my mind with useful thoughts. I focus on adding value to others through the business I conduct and the life I live. I write and work on projects that are meaningful to me. I also pound it into my head that the world isn't too big for me to make a difference and more importantly, that differences do matter.

Q: Class Rectangle not recognised Below is part of some code that draws rectangles (WIDTH is set to an integer variable)
 int x = j*WIDTH;
 int y = i*WIDTH;
 Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x, y, WIDTH - 1, WIDTH - 1);

For some reason on BlueJ I get cannot find symbol - class Rectangle. Any ideas why?

A: Import Java.awt.Rectangle. That should do the trick.
EDIT: didn't notice somebody answered in a comment. Sorry..

Gas Explosion at Iranian Wedding Kills 11, Injures 40
Eleven people were killed and more than 40 others were injured in a gas explosion at a wedding hall in Iran's western province of Kurdistan on Thursday night.
In remarks late on Thursday, the spokesman for Iran's emergency medical services, Mojtaba Khaledi, said the deadly explosion of a gas heater at a wedding hall in the western city of Saqqez in Kurdistan occurred at 21:30 (local time) on Thursday.
Immediately after the incident was reported, eleven ambulances were dispatched to the scene, the official added.
"Unfortunately, 11 people lost their lives and 42 others were injured," Khaledi said, adding that the wounded were taken to the nearest medical centers after receiving prehospital care from emergency specialists.
The governor-general of the Kurdistan Province, Bahman Moradnia, declared a day of public mourning following the "painful incident".
"The Thursday night's painful incident in Saqqez that left a number of our beloved compatriots in the province dead and wounded is undoubtedly one of the most bitter incidents in recent years," he noted.

Can Nephrocheck Predict the Reversibility of Early Acute Kidney Injury During Septic Shock?
Patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit have an elevated risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI).
Patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit have an elevated risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is an independent factor for mortality. Interventions that limit the worsening of renal function might have an impact on the mortality rate in these patients. Given the absence of validated pharmacological treatments for limiting the progression of AKI or for accelerating recovery from AKI, early intervention and the restoration of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in this context of hemodynamic change during the initial phase of septic shock might improve the patients' prognosis. One major challenge is therefore how to determine whether or not the AKI is reversible. The best-studied biomarkers (NGAL and KIM 1) have little discriminant power in septic patients because of their poor specificity or unsuitable kinetics for very early diagnosis. The combination of urine assays for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has shown good diagnostic performance for the very early detection of the risk of developing AKI in the following 12 hrs. Urine levels of these two markers specifically reflect damage to kidney tubules. Moreover, the levels appear to be strongly correlated with the severity of tubule damage. Thus, one can reasonably hypothesize that measurement of these markers in the very early stages of septic shock might determine the presence and severity of kidney tubule damage. A threshold (yet to be defined) would help to differentiate between (i) transient, non-severe injury and (ii) injury that is already too severe to be reversible.


Last Week we gave Chopad Levels of 10512, Nifty gave multiple entry for both long and short as per Chopad Level in last week and did all 1 target on both upside and downside, So Average week for Chopad followers. Lets see how we trade nifty in coming week as we have confluence of time cycle on 19 and 22 Feb in Expiry Week.

Highlands Ridge is an active 55+ community located in Avon Park, Florida. Nestled between orange groves and just below the frost belt line lies this beautiful community. Development of Highlands Ridge began in 1990. It was designed to consist of a mobile home community, site-build homes in unique neighborhood villages and two 18 hole golf courses. Homeowners have the ability to choose their own view, a golf course, the lake or the preservation areas.
The original single family development in Highlands Ridge. The homes are located on mostly smaller lots, surrounded by century old live oak trees. The championship golf course winds through the community. The neighborhood abounds with wildlife such as turkey, deer and the ever present Sandhill cranes.
An enclave of custom homes located on top of a hill and overlooking Founder's Hall and the community center. Walking distance to the pool and only a short cart ride to the golf course.
Located on the highest property in Highlands Ridge, this immaculate community is filled with beautiful custom residences. The winding streets create scenic views of the golf course fairways.
Located half way between the South and North courses, properties in this community are affectionately labeled "Tweener Ville". Oak Run is flanked on one side by a beautiful lake and fairway while the other side is a large, Florida state natural preserve.
The Carter Creek community is located on the direct access between the beautiful North and South Course communities. Residents can watch their beautifully landscaped front yards as neighbors and visitors drive by or look out back at the lush green championship golf fairways. Carter Creek meanders through an undisturbed natural forest on it's way from the South Course to the North Course.
Developed on the terrain of the previous Toussaint Cattle Ranch, this area was transformed into a magnificent championship golf course and custom home community. The course was designed in part to maximize golf front potential for home sites. The modern clubhouse and restaurants cup off the North Course experience.
These custom built villas are settled between the south golf course and the preservation area. There are 90 home sites with several custom model plans to choose from.
A gorgeous manufactured home community consisting of 215 home sites. This village was first developed in 1990 and has the best manicured homes in the state of Florida. Majority of these home sites are located within a short golf cart ride to the community center.

Spears of breakfast papaya in Malaysia.
I start this food-writing journey in Malaysia, of course, after having just left my steady reporting gig in search of a better fit in the journalism world. I packed a small Tumi roller suitcase and headed to Southeast Asia with my good friend Jesse, an Olympus SLR my dad gave me and many nights of scouring NY Times reviews of my destinations.
First food lust: fresh papaya.
After a very late (errr early morning) arrival, I wake up to a breakfast buffet at the Hotel Equatorial in the downtown KLCC area. From the vast array of palm-sized pastries, scrambled eggs and even Indian fare, Jesse first nabs a plate of this deep salmon-colored fleshy fruit.
He hands me fork full, first squeezing a lime wedge on the fruit (an essential step that only elevates the flavor). The taste is so unreal in its mild, almost lacking in sweet, flavor. The papaya spears look dense like melon, but with the flick of your wrist a fork cuts right through.
By the end of the meal I find my small white plate shows a puddle of papaya juice that I almost think about slurping.
I come to find this is a staple in hotel breakfasts in Kuala Lumpur. I learn later Indonesia and China are two of the top ten producers of the fruit in the world.
I know it's just papaya, but this was not a mundane continental breakfast option. It represented to me much of what I have come to learn from my short time here in Southeast Asia – simple, a bit luxurious and all together tasty.

Chargers tight end Donald Parham carted off on stretcher
Donald Parham of the Los Angeles Chargers is taken off the field to be assessed further for injury in the first quarter of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs at SoFi Stadium on Dec. 16, 2021 in Inglewood, Calif. Photo by Kevork Djansezian /Getty Images
Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. was hospitalized and in stable condition Thursday night after getting hurt in Los Angeles' home game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Parham was carted off the field on a stretcher after tumbling on his head trying to make a touchdown catch at the 13:27 mark of the first quarter.
Chargers tight end Donald Parham carted off on stretcher Back to video
An announcement from the team late in the fourth quarter said that Parham was "undergoing tests, imaging and evaluation for a head injury" at UCLA Harbor Medical Center.
The injury came as he was not able to hold on to a 5-yard pass on a fourth-and-goal situation.

— T̷R̷O̷Y̷ ̷H̷U̷G̷H̷E̷S̷ (@TommySledge) December 17, 2021
About 15 Chargers players watched on the field as the team medical staff assessed Parham.
Parham is in his second season in the NFL. He entered Thursday with 20 receptions for 190 yards and three touchdowns over the Chargers' first 13 games.
Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams also was injured on the opening drive, which Los Angeles began from its 24-yard line following a long return on the opening kickoff. Williams was able to return on the next Los Angeles possession.


Using a school concert as the setting, the PSA cleverly delivered a message reminding people to behave in a civil fashion at sporting events.
At the rate I'm going, I won't be squeezing in my $11 worth of Netflix viewing this month.
It's not that there isn't anything interesting to watch. For instance, "Bird Box" has caused quite a stir and the second season of The Punisher dropped just a few hours before I began writing this week's column.
No, my real problem is that there's been so much free stuff to watch related to news stories in my hometown lately that I simply haven't had time to fire up my Roku box.
►A tongue-tied TV meteorologist (try saying that three times fast) who was speaking too quickly crunched his words while trying to say "Martin Luther King Jr. Park" (don't try saying that three times fast) on a broadcast and accidentally spit out an offensive word that got him fired.
►The mayor of Rochester, who had immediately called for the above-mentioned gentleman to be sacked, put out a somewhat sanctimonious video on race relations, invoking the name of MLK Jr. at approximately the same time a prominent member of the slain civil right leader's family was saying the meteorologist shouldn't have been fired.
►Five-minute videos of a fracas (don't you just love that word?) at 1:45 a.m. in a Rochester fast-food restaurant parking lot, complete with customers and employees throwing soft drinks at each other and a woman using her car to play a bit of demolition derby, quickly racked up 50,000 views on You Tube.
►A brief video clip of college co-eds singing along to a hip-hop tune during a party got them suspended from the St. John Fisher College cheerleading team. Their crime? They accurately recited the racial epithet uttered by performer Meek Mill, who I'm sure has made some nice coin from the song.
And none of this even approaches the national furor over Gillette's toxic masculinity commercial, which has been working its way toward the list of the 50 most disliked videos in the history of You Tube.
I didn't see it myself because I'd rather watch my rabbit sleep on the heat duct than spend time viewing the intellectual cesspool known as "late-night television," but Stephen Colbert put forth an interesting question: "Are our public institutions so weak that we need to be taught moral lessons by razor companies?" he asked.
No. Firstly, mom and dad were the only institutions I needed to steer me in the right direction. Secondly, not all public institutions are weak. In fact some educators delivered a powerful message last week in the form of maybe the best sports-themed public service announcement I've ever seen. Using a school concert as the setting, it cleverly delivered a message reminding people to behave in a civil fashion at sporting events.
The Saranac Lake Central School District took an idea from athletic director and football coach Eric Bennett and ran with it. The video released last week was a four-minute mile, a home run, a pick-six, a hat trick a slam dunk, an ace and a hole-in-one all at once.
Made on a shoestring budget of about $6,000 and released with very little statewide publicity beyond NYSPHSAA Executive Director Robert Zayas and myself tweeting out links, the video had already garnered nearly 19,000 views on You Tube as of Friday morning.
The PSA shows parents in the audience heckling the conductor and members of the jazz band, talking the sort of trash that has become all too common at high school sporting events over the years. The spot ends with the simple message, "If you wouldn't say it at a recital, don't say it at a game."
In a bit or irony, Bennett is quick to admit to "losing my mind" a time or two while coaching, even to the point of quickly realizing he needed to seek out athletes to apologize to them on the sideline.
"We can all think back to what someone said when we were kids," Bennett said, "You can try all you want to forget, but it's there."
In his role as the athletic director the past five-plus years, Bennett has had to tell spectators to dial it back. He's experienced having a guy knock his hat off when things got heated as well as having a disgruntled parent suggesting it would be nice if Bennett had an accident on the drive home.
"So while I was sitting at a concert it dawned on me these kids are performing, just like athletes are performing," Bennett said.
Unlike the athletes, though, they weren't getting heckled. So turning the table on the musicians — the performers are actual members of the Saranac Lake jazz band — by putting them under crowd fire was the perfect attention-getter for the video.
Bennett had the idea swirling around in his mind for awhile and had originally discussed it many months ago with filmmaker Kirk Sullivan. When Sullivan, a Saranac Lake graduate, moved back to the area from Los Angeles, the idea reached the front burner with the blessing of Superintendent Diane Fox.
Sullivan called in some favors to keep costs to a minimum and the video was edited in Florida by Peder Trusiak, another Saranac Lake graduate. Bennett recruited school employees for some of the "starring roles." during filming this past fall. That's Bennett offering the opening insult to the conductor, and the parent demanding a solo for his kid is none other than Principal Josh Dann.
Bennett said his line early in the video was shot nearly 30 times as the crew working on timing, lighting and audio levels and he got into character for the right tone.
Bennett has plenty to keep himself busy at Saranac Lake — he was honored as the region's outstanding AD last year by the New York State Athletic Administrators Association after structuring a girls hockey merger with Lake Placid and rolling out the Unified Basketball program there — but he's already envisioning one or two more sportsmanship videos.
He said he'd like to explore securing financial help from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association or the National Federation of State High School Associations to do PSAs encouraging better fan behavior toward officials and coaches.
When he's done with those, perhaps there could be one more telling newspaper readers that reporters don't write their own headlines.

Insanity in Action? 55% of 'Very Conservative' Georgia Voters Say They'll Skip Runoffs Because of 'Rigged' Process: Poll
By Mike Miller | 11:00 AM on December 31, 2020
AP Photo/Ben Gray
Is it just me, or does anyone else think this craziness is counterintuitive as hell?
Again, maybe it is just me, but boycotting two runoff elections, the results of which will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate is tantamount to stubbornly picking up your marbles and stomping home — refusing to play another game because you think you were cheated in the previous game, so you're gonna "show them."
If you're among these folks, exactly what are you going to show to whom?
While you're "showing them," you're also showing conservatives that you're perfectly willing to abandon logic, common sense, and the good of the Republican Party and its control of the upper chamber of Congress.
Good job, kids — you should be very "proud" of yourselves.
Lemme just throw this in here, before we continue. This piece is not about whether the Georgia presidential election or any other election was "rigged" — it is solely about the insanity of being a moron and boycotting next month's Georgia runoffs. Period.
So how bad will it be? Far be it from most of us to put all our eggs in the basket of pollsters, but at least this one is a starting place for discussion. According to a recent poll conducted in Georgia by SurveyUSA of voters who do not plan to show up for next week's runoffs elections, 55 percent of respondents who identify as "very conservative" said they will stay home — because they believe "the voting process is rigged."
Again, congratulations, geniuses.
.@VP pushing back on Sydney Powell and Lin Wood's calls for Republicans to boycott the January 5th runoffs https://t.co/uUYWQHkXhX
— John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) December 4, 2020
I'm not a pollster — as a result, I didn't embarrass myself by making ridiculous election predictions that didn't come anywhere close to right — but intuitively, it seems to me that 55 percent is a high number, which leads me to wonder how many "very conservative" "conservatives" say they'll sit this one out — out of "principle," or whatever — but will in fact show up. And those who don't show up?
Like me, Fox Business anchor Charles Payne thinks you're "Cray Cray."
"A recent Survey USA poll said 55% of Georgia voters that describe themselves as 'very conservative' said they will not vote in the runoff elections because 'the voting process is rigged.' That's compared to 0% of self-described 'liberals' and 'very liberals.
#MindNumbing

— Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) December 31, 2020
Additional results from the SurveyUSA poll.
Of those who are not voting in the US Senate runoffs, a disproportionate number are conservative. Of those who identify as "very conservative," 55% say they are not voting in the runoff elections because "the voting process is rigged." This compares to zero percent of liberals and very liberals.
Another 7% of "very conservative" voters say they are "intentionally boycotting" the runoffs. This compares to zero percent of liberals and very liberals. So those are the headwinds that incumbent Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler face.
In the end, because of or in spite of a newly announced Runoff Eve 01/04/2021 campaign rally by President Donald J. Trump, conservatives may get off their rump and walk the walk. But at this hour, both Democrats have tailwinds:
* Ossoff (D), 51%.
* Perdue (R), 46%.
* Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 3 weeks ago, Ossoff is up 1, Perdue is down 2.
* Ossoff had led by 2, now leads by 5.
* Warnock (D), 52%.
* Loeffler (R), 45.
* Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 3 weeks ago, Warnock is flat, Loeffler is flat.
* Warnock had led by 7, still leads by 7.
But, hey — what's the big deal about control of the Senate, right?
I mean, the Democrats already have control of the House and will soon occupy [pun intended] the White House; what's the big diff if they recapture the Senate and Chucky becomes Majority Leader, as well?
You might remember a couple of characters — Sidney "Kraken" Powell" and Planet Neptune resident Lin Wood — who, along with their seemingly-daily promises of "biblical" cases, and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, suggested earlier this month that Republicans should boycott the Georgia runoffs, as well. Here's Captain Neptune:
"Real conservative senators can then be appointed after Kemp, Perdue, and Loeffler's arrest."
Yeah, I got nothin'.
Lin Wood: We can prove Trump was cheated if Republicans BOYCOTT the Georgia Senate runoffs https://t.co/nd5y9cypFS
— Ben Owen (@hrkbenowen) December 27, 2020
Georgia Republicans, don't be like Kraken and Captain Neptune.
Again, Georgia, do not sit this one out. Pout in your room if it makes you feel better, but don't be insane — for the sake of showing everybody how "principled," you are.

With G2 Esports, the next German esports organization enters competitive PLAYERUNKNOWN's BATTLEGROUNDS. Despite the fact that at least half a dozen top performing teams are still unsigned, G2 Esports decided to go for a line-up formed by former professional Call of Duty and Overwatch players. However, the new team has no track-record in any high tier PUBG competition.
After another German organization, the BIG Clan joined the competitive PLAYERUNKNOWN's BATTLEGROUNDS landscape earlier this week, G2 Esports is one more franchise that doesn't want to miss out on the huge growth opportunities that the scene offers.

The Vikings 11 Projected Starters on Offense

While starting personnel could change for the Minnesota Vikings before the 53-man roster is announced on August 30th, the team has surprisingly few battles for starting jobs. Thanks to training camp and preseason, projecting the Vikings starters is not too daunting.
These are the 11 projected starters for the 2022 Vikings on offense.
QB — Kirk Cousins
Oct 17, 2021; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports.
The ultimate no-brainer here, Kirk Cousins is the undisputed QB1 for the Vikings. He enters Year 5 with the team, needing to lead Minnesota to the postseason to secure further employment. The Vikings recommitted to Cousins after missing the playoffs thrice in four tries. Still, Cousins is "the guy."
RB — Dalvin Cook
Oct 17, 2021; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports.
Cook likely has two to three years left of upper-echelon production, but he recently turned 27. That age is when RB1s tend to slow down. But by most accounts, Cook is a top-three running back, so he should be utilized heavily — perhaps as a pass-catcher, too.
FB — C.J. Ham
Sep 19, 2021; Glendale, Arizona, USA; Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham. Mandatory Credit: Billy Hardiman-USA TODAY Sports.
The mystery begins here. Will Minnesota use a fullback in its 2022 offense? Probably. The 2021 Los Angeles Rams, the team last employing Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, did not use one. However, Ham is a versatile football player, and most Vikings faithful believe he'll make the regular season roster.
WR — Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn

Three WRs were plopped here in case Ham is not a part of the depth chart. Then, Osborn, a TE2, or RB2 would technically be considered a starter. The Vikings finally have a threesome of wide receivers with no mystery involved. Before 2021, it was always a "big two" (Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs or Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson), but Osborn rose to power as the WR3 in 2021.
TE — Irv Smith

We blinked, and Irv Smith is in the final year of his contract. For the first time, barring injury, Smith will be showcased as the TE1. He was injured for all of 2021, and before last year, he shared the TE1 workload with Kyle Rudolph.
LT — Christian Darrisaw
Christian Darrisaw
Darrisaw is [somehow] drawing comparisons to Trent Williams, the future Hall of Fame left tackle for the San Francisco 49ers. That cannot be bad news for anybody — except opposing EDGE rushers.
LG — Ezra Cleveland

Cleveland has quietly progressed as a commendable starting left guard, even though he played tackle in college. There was uncertainty about the LG spot heading in 2021, but Cleveland seized the job and made it his own.
C — Garrett Bradbury

The other large Vikings mystery, will Garrett Bradbury hold onto the starting job? He will likely get an audition for it while the Vikings coach staff maintains a quick hook to Chris Reed or Austin Schlottmann as contingency plans. Like Irv Smith, Bradbury is in the final year of his rookie contract.
RG — Ed Ingram

Jesse Davis may formally still get the nod at RG, but Ingram deserves the job. If a team invests 2nd-Round draft capital in an interior offensive lineman, that player should start sooner than later. Because the Vikings have been beset by porous interior offensive line performance for about a decade, let's bank on the "sooner" as now for Ingram.
RT — Brian O'Neill

Old reliable — and he isn't very old — O'Neill anchored the Vikings offensive through various dark times in the last four years. Now, he's the second-highest-paid right tackle on the planet.
