Cupcakes were the original mini dessert, but now it's no longer just cakes that are miniature. Almost all desserts are being made into mini-sized treats. Pies, sundaes, tarts, cheesecakes and more are being shrunk down to bite-size creations. Mini sized desserts are popular for parties because guest can eat them quickly and often do not have to worry about getting a plate or utensils. Their portability and their cuteness make them irresistible!
Desserts inspired by childhood treats are wildly popular as we all look to recreate some childhood magic. Look for nostalgic ingredients such as cookie dough, butterscotch and marshmallows, paired with more sophisticated choices. These childhood flavors are being reimagined with the addition of grown-up flavors, like spices, liquor or other modern ingredients.
Bakeries specializing in solely macarons are no longer only in large metropolitan cities. Lexington now has its own macaron shop and for good reason. In the last few years, America's love affair with French macarons has only intensified. To make the macaron, two meringue based cookies are typically filled with ganache, buttercream, or jam. The flavor and color possibilities for this delicate treat are endless, making macarons a perfect fit with any party theme.
In recent years, artisan ice cream has become more and more popular. Local ingredients paired with unique flavor combinations have contributed to the craze.
As more care is being placed on where our food comes from, consumers are looking for more local ingredients made with seasonal flavors. Using in-season ingredients in your desserts not only leaves a smaller impact on the environment, but the freshness of the ingredients makes the desserts tastier. For example, here in Kentucky, look for sweets made using fresh berries in the spring and stone fruits in the summer. Local producers of these ingredients can be located at Farmers' Markets or locally owned grocery stores.
Even though desserts are traditionally a sweet treat at the end of a meal or party, savory and spicy components are making their way into dessert recipes. Bacon has been one of the most popular savory pairings with desserts, like tasty French Toast Cupcakes with Maple Syrup and Bacon Buttercream Frosting. But, global food trends are also appearing in desserts. Items such a Chocolate Cake with Wasabi Dark Chocolate Ganache and Black Cardamom and Pepper Ice Cream will delight guests with an adventurous palate.
First it was the cronut (croissant + doughnut), then many more dessert hybrids started popping up. A few to try include: the Doughka (babka + doughnut), the brookie (chocolate chip cookie wrapped in a brownie), and the Wonut (waffle + donut). Yep, these are all real creations being served in restaurants around the country. Your party guests will delight in trying out these new hybrids of two of their old favorites.


Today, 65 million people live as refugees or are displaced within their home countries – more than at any other point since the U.N. Refugee Agency began collecting data. Many countries have opened their borders to those displaced by war and famine, but struggle to handle the large influx.
This global crisis is often misunderstood as an overwhelming challenge for which no one can offer a satisfactory solution. But there are a set of tools that would help us, as a global society, take major leaps forward in addressing this crisis. I'm talking about predictive analytics — the statistical science (some would say art) that mines current and past data to predict future outcomes.
As a long-standing practitioner of predictive analytics, I know the field is ready to take on this challenge. But political and financial roadblocks are keeping us from addressing the crisis.
All the rage for the better part of the recent decade, predictive analytics are now used in a wide range of fields: predicting which students are in danger of dropping out of a university, helping Los Angeles social workers find possible cases of fraud and shaving millions of unnecessary miles per year off UPS drivers' routes. Data from the past helps the algorithms anticipate problems before they arise.
When it comes to refugees, a lack of forethought has made an already unstable geopolitical situation even worse. Few host countries had the ability to absorb refugees, and nobody fully anticipated the challenges the front-line states of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece would face as temporary homes for thousands fleeing to Europe. When many European states stopped accepting migrants, that only exacerbated the strain on front-line states.
Meanwhile, even willing countries like Germany left thousands stuck in refugee camps far longer than anyone thought would be required.
Migration data is already being collected by a variety of sources, including national population censuses, sample surveys, smartphones, border crossings and administrative sources like population registers.
Such rolling data could be a game-changer for officials on the front lines of the crisis. Sophisticated analytics could help experts confidently chart where refugees are likely to head next. Policymakers, spotting signs of a future influx, might reroute refugees to different countries. This real-time data could also help organizations quickly and accurately shunt money and goods to the locales that need them the most.
Success may not come easy. But if the predictions are even small improvements on current "best guesses," refugees would benefit from not being bottled up in overcrowded refugee camps.
In theory, perhaps algorithms could account for the political will, public opinion and the logistical capabilities of a potential host state. Similarly sophisticated statistical models have long been used to study interstate conflicts and civil wars. If front-line states are at breaking point or distracted by an ongoing regional crisis, then refugee aid organizations would be forewarned to develop alternative routes equipped to deal with refugees.
It requires political will for countries to work with multistate and intergovernmental organizations, share migrant pattern data, and decide how to provide resources to host countries who need them most. But, to put it bluntly, figuring out how to welcome the most refugees possible is not a top priority for most countries.
There are also major technical challenges that will need to be addressed if an international effort around predictive analytics is to succeed. One of the biggest is establishing a system to house all of the data securely. Accidental data releases could lead to targeted violence against these vulnerable populations.
Of course, these solutions would also take a hefty financial investment. Both private entrepreneurs and multinational organizations like the U.N.have devoted more attention but limited resources to the problem. Last June, Data for Democracy, a data science initiative, won a U.N.-sponsored challenge to estimate and locate internally displaced persons. Machine learning and vast amounts of online data were an integral part of the winning solution. However, challenges like these rely on volunteers rather than a permanent arm of the U.N.
Providing humanitarian assistance to those most in need – there could be no higher purpose. While implementing a data-driven solution to the refugee problem may sound daunting, the hard work could pay off in the future – for the children of today's Syrian and Rohingya refugees, for people fleeing the threat of climate change, or for other threats that we have not yet foreseen.
Trump, "Shitholes," and the Nature of "US"
"With tens of millions of migrants and refugees projected to arrive in Europe in the coming decades, on top of the million-plus who have claimed asylum in each of the last two years, the European Union is pouring billions of dollars into fighting migration at its source — much of it in impoverished and war-torn countries in Africa. The aim is to transform nations like Mali into more hospitable places. If it succeeds, Brussels is betting that it can convince some would-be migrants to stay home and African governments to stop others from leaving."
"Much of the money has been funneled into ambitious development projects: roughly $114 million for sustainable agriculture and food security in Senegal; $32 million for job creation in migration transit zones in Niger; $12 million for vocational training and youth empowerment in Gambia. All of it is administered through a multibillion-dollar EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, launched at a joint African and European summit on migration in 2015."
"It [one of the EU's project in Mali]] also exposes a false but largely ignored assumption upon which the EU's entire plan to use development to fight migration is premised: Better jobs and more income, at least in the short and medium term, don't typically relieve migratory pressures in desperately poor countries; they increase them, a fact that is well-documented by economists."
"[E]xperts are doubtful that this or any other development project aimed at creating jobs can reverse, or even slow, the tide of emigration. "If the success of your policy is dependent on being able to defeat both market forces and human nature, your chances of success aren't good," said Kathleen Newland, a senior fellow and co-founder of the Migration Policy Institute."
"Not only does more income mean people can do more expensive things, like pay a smuggler thousands of dollars to take them to Europe; it typically means more education and bigger aspirations. That's why [The Center for International Development's Michael] Clemens says on average as countries transition from poor to middle-income, they experience a 'dramatic rise' in migration. Over the very long term, it is true that development would depress migration as a country transitions to developed status. "But Mali is not going to be a developed country in our lifetime or in the lifetime of our children," he said. 'The reality is that the development of nations is measured in generations.' Young people are not given to waiting for improvements measured in generations."
Here is another example where ethnicity and religion become the focus, the arena for ambitions power- and wealth-pursuing perpetrators and the media. This focus obscures the underlying political and economic ambitions. For the media it makes for better headlines and entertaining but not always true distinctions between victims and evil doers. For perpetrators such as national and local governments, and the wealthy in pursuit of more wealth, and the opportunistic poor of neighboring ethno-religious groups it provides cover and moral justification for the persecution and displacement of those of different ethnicity and religions. Another instance is the Western media reporting of politician-fueled "tribal clashes" in Africa, most recently in Kenya and Ethiopia. Again, such tactics and reporting obscures, under-reports and provides cover for the economic and political factors driving and contributing to violence and injustice.
The expulsion of Rohingyas from Myanmar is another example where ethnicity and religion become the focus, the arena for ambitious power- and wealth-pursuing perpetrators and the media. This focus obscures the underlying political and economic ambitions. For the media it makes for better headlines and entertaining but not always true distinctions between victims and evil doers. For perpetrators such as national and local governments, and the wealthy in pursuit of more wealth, and the opportunistic poor of neighboring ethno-religious groups it provides cover and moral justification for the persecution and displacement of those of different ethnicity and religions. Another instance is the Western media reporting of politician-fueled "tribal clashes" in Africa, most recently in Kenya and Ethiopia. Again, such tactics and reporting obscures, under-reports and provides cover for the economic and political factors driving and contributing to violence and injustice.
"Setting a record-low cap on refugee resettlement, the White House is showing a stunning cruelty toward those fleeing our common enemies — enemies who intend to paint the U.S. as indifferent to refugees' suffering," said Hans Van de Weerd, vice president of United States programs at the International Rescue Committee, another of the nine resettlement agencies.
Kakuma is a mostly tent and mud hut camp established by the UN in 1991 in the arid homeland of the warrior-herding Turkana ethnic group of Kenya, a very hot and dusty place. However, equal to my years with the US Peace Corps, refugee resettlement in Kakuma and elsewhere was the hardest, most humbling yet best work I've ever been privileged to do.
Welcome to a portrait of Kakuma camp where birds sound like cats, frogs sound like birds, and wolf spiders, snakes, scorpions, stink beetles, and malarial mosquitoes abound. And where camp residents, mostly Sudanese, try to hang on to their sanity and dignity for years, in an impermanent and often dangerous present and an uncertain future. Sports and other forms of entertainment help.
Want to help relieve suffering and provide life-saving opportunities for the neediest of the needy in the world? Support UNICEF and UNHCR any way you are able.
"Home to over 270,000 refugees from South Sudan's brutal civil war, northern Uganda's Bidi Bidi settlement has become is the world's largest refugee camp, the epicenter of a growing humanitarian crisis. Since mid-2016, Uganda's refugee population has more than doubled from 500,000 to nearly 1.3 million. Fleeing violence, famine and economic collapse, over 2,000 South Sudanese refugees on average spill over the border into Uganda every day — half of them children. ... UNICEF is supporting the Ugandan government and working with key partners to reach thousands of refugees with critical, often lifesaving, services."
One of the services my consultancy, Migration Anthropology Consultants (MAC) LLC, offers is conducting studies of the "culture" of businesses and providing recommendations that improve company productivity. Here's a good essay that provides various definitions of "corporate culture." It also suggests a method, Culture Designer 101, for defining a business organization's basic principles and core values, and writing a mission statement.
"Corporate culture is a shared investment in the values, ethics, spirit and socially reinforced norms which convey meaning into products, services and community."
"Historians would come to call it the Great Migration. It would become perhaps the biggest underreported story of the twentieth century. It was vast. It was leaderless. It crept along so many thousands of currents over so long a stretch of time as to be difficult for the press truly to capture while it was under way.
"Over the course of six decades, some six million black southerners left the land of their forefathers and fanned out across the country for an uncertain existence in nearly every other corner of America. The Great Migration would become a turning point in history. It would transform urban America and recast the social and political order of every city it touched. It would force the South to search its soul and finally to lay aside a feudal caste system. It grew out of the unmet promises made after the Civil War and, through the sheer weight of it, helped push the country toward the civil rights revolutions of the 1960s."
"Fewer than 1 percent of formally recognized refugees worldwide are resettled annually, with about 125,600 individuals departing to resettlement countries in 2016. The United States has historically led the world in terms of refugee resettlement, and today remains the top resettlement country. In fiscal year (FY) 2016, the United States resettled 84,994 refugees."
"So for many, 'destination Europe' is not a pull factor in their migration journey. If we want to understand why people on the move are willing to risk their lives in unsafe boats heading for Europe, much more attention needs to be paid to the drivers of flight and how to offer effective protection to people driven to take such a dangerous journey.
"Many people we spoke to had fled from situations of war or conflict, from the threat of terrorist or cult groups, and from kidnapping and torture or violence. Others had fled from persecution by governments, or from being targeted by governments for conscription.
"People also fled from family problems, societal ostracism, extreme discrimination and exploitation, as well as from poverty caused by unemployment or the loss of livelihood. Others faced limited prospects of integration and access to education or language difficulties."
Being Yourself, A Unaffordable Luxury for Most Immigrants in U.S.
Having had the privilege and honor of serving in the US refugee resettlement program (USRP) for eleven years and interviewing thousands of refugee applicants mostly in remote, harsh areas in Africa, I am deeply saddened and disturbed by this unnecessary action. It will only succeed in causing additional suffering to refugees.
This move by Trump and his supporters in Congress will lead to an unnecessarily severe and ineffective tightening of restrictions on refugee nationality selection criteria, interview adjudication approval thresholds, and admissibility security vetting standards.
Of the hundreds of thousands of refugees that have found safety in the US since 9/11/2001 only three have engaged in terrorist related activity, and all three had become radicalized after, not before, their admission to the US. The resettlement program is not even a remote choice of terrorists for entry into the US for three reasons: the wait to be interviewed can be from 1.5 to 3 years or more; approval is not guaranteed; approval criteria and security checks are the most rigorous of all legal methods of entering the US.
Attacking the USRP is part of politically motivated fear-mongering that benefits rich politicians in search of votes at the expense of refugees. These actions by our government should be vigorously opposed for humanitarian and US international standing and leadership reasons.
"The international refugee system, constructed in the aftermath of World War II, has enabled millions of refugees in every region to find safety in other countries. President Trump's expected action to suspend all refugee resettlement to the United States and to impose additional restrictions on refugees from largely Muslim countries is a sad day for refugees and for cherished American values."
Here's a very good new book on human migration for high schoolers. I was a pro bono consultant for the later drafts of the book. Part of my review is printed on the back cover. The publisher says the book is for 12-15 year-olds but I think the book's vocabulary and the topics listed in the contents, glossary and index indicate it would also be a very worthwhile read for 16-18 year-olds. It was published by Nomad Press in Vermont and printed in Canada. I highly recommend it.

The plan was to bake a sea salt caramel cheesecake. But due to a turn of events, we scrapped the original idea and made a caramel blueberry cheesecake instead. Given more preparation time I would much prefer to have some blueberry swirls inside the cheesecake, or a thicker caramel swirl. A sticky, gooey texture would be a great pairing with the smooth cheesecake in my opinion.
Overall it was a great recipe with hardly any hiccups. No cracks encountered despite it being (for most of us) our first time making it and all the rough handling. Just be sure to give it loads of time to cool. Leave it outside for a good 3 hours before throwing it into the fridge. To shorten the cooling, leave it in the freezer instead of the fridge. The cheesecake needs a lot of time to set.
We following this recipe. Step by Step instructions with photos. To do the spiderweb use the leftover caramel to make a giant swirl and slide a toothpick outwards from the centre of the swirl.

Israel Israel, UAE Agree on Financial Cooperation as Israeli Delegation Returns
Israel, UAE Agree on Financial Cooperation as Israeli Delegation Returns
By Hamodia Staff

Israel and the United Arab Emirates agreed on Tuesday to set up a joint committee to cooperate on financial services, aiming to promote investment between the two countries as Israeli delegation left the Gulf state following a historic visit.
Representatives from both countries signed the understanding, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said in the statement.
One focus, Netanyahu said, would be on "cooperation in the field of financial services and removing financial barriers for making investments between the countries, as well as promoting joint investments in the capital markets."
The deal was signed by Ronen Peretz, Acting Director General of the Prime Minister's Office and the Governor of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates Abdul Hamed Saed.
The countries will also collaborate in banking services and payment regulations, he said.
Israeli officials have been quick to play up the economic benefits of the accord, which once formalized would also include agreements on tourism, technology, energy, healthcare and security, among other areas.
https://hamodia.com/hamod-uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Video-2020-09-01-at-09.18.22.mp4
A number of Israeli and Emirati businesses have already signed deals since the normalization deal was announced.
"I welcome the first memorandum of understanding that we signed in Abu Dhabi," said Netanyahu. "These understandings will help us to promote mutual investment and broad cooperation. We will soon announced additional agreements in the areas of air travel and tourism, as well as in trade."
On Tuesday morning, National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat joined a Shacharis minyan at the hotel of the Israeli delegation to Abu Dhabi.
The rare minyan was completed by a group of Jews living in Dubai who had come to the Emirati capital especially for the historic visit of a joint U.S.-Israel delegation to the UAE.
Being the month of Elul, Chabad shaliach Rabbi Levi Duchman blew the shofar after Shacharis. He also recited a special tefillah for the welfare of the UAE, its leaders and armed forces.

Quarterman
Seen on Our Santa Fe River and Ichetucknee Alliance facebook pages today. Spectra Energy also proposed the Sabal Trail methane pipeline to go under the Withlacoochee River a second time just before it goes under the Suwannee River to enter Suwannee County. Why not just cross the Suwannee upstream of Ellaville where the Withlacoochee meets the Suwannee? Because that's where Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park is. Maybe the Withlacoochee, Suwannee, Ichetucknee, and Santa Fe Rivers are also important to the culture of the entire area.
Gas Pipeline Alert:
Tuesday, March 18th, 6 pm, Suwannee County BOCC
North Central Florida, here is the next public meeting about Sabal's gas highway in Suwannee County, cutting under a Springshed in the Santa Fe River, about 1/2 mile from the confluence of the Ichetucknee River.
Speak to Board about your concerns with a gas highway through Suwannee County and the Santa Fe River, near the Ichetucknee River (.66 miles away from the confluence). Fill out a card to speak when you arrive. You will have 3 minutes to address the Board. read more here: http://www.suwanneedemocrat.com/suwannee/x787212730/Suwannee-County-Commission-meeting-agenda-for-March-18-2014

Merrillee did it, and so can you: write a letter to your local newspaper, or to a state or national one, for that matter.
In the Suwannee Democrat Thursday and a longer version in the Gainesville Sun today, Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson: Natural gas highway proposed in the springs heartland -jsq.
The springs have been taking a beating in our recent history and now they are poised to brace for another blow. Spectra Energy Corp. and NextEra Energy Inc. have teamed up to build a $3 billion gas highway that will connect an Alabama natural gas bulk transfer station, cut through Georgia and bisect Florida's springs heartland.
It would extend down to Orlando, where the gas will be dispersed into two more pipelines, ultimately benefiting Florida Power and Light. The two corporations have created Sabal Trails LLC for the surveying and construction team. Spectra Energy Corp. constructs pipelines and created Sabal Trails to get the job done, while Florida Power and Light wants the gas and is a subsidiary of the electricity supplier NextEra Energy Inc.
The Florida citing commission has ruled to allow NextEra and Spectra the right to survey and build another gas transmission pipeline through Florida's vulnerable landscape.

Georgia pipeline safety record worse than in Florida
November 25, 2013 Florida, Georgia, SafetyAlapaha River, corrosion, Florida, Georgia, Ichetucknee Alliance, John S. Quarterman, karst, leaks, limestone, Sabal Trail Transmission, Safety, Spectra Energy, SpectraBusters, Withlacoochee River, WWALSJohn S. Quarterman
Should we add to Georgia's string of serious pipeline accidents (worse than Florida's) by letting a pipeline company with fines for corrosion and leaks from PHMSA and a record fine for PCB spills from EPA gash an even bigger pipeline through our farms and past our towns, churches, and schools?
The data on Florida pipeline accidents in Ichetucknee Alliance's position paper against the pipeline (the position that got Spectra's Andrea Grover to say the "preferred" route had moved and "currently" there was no threat to the Ichetucknee River or Columbia County, Florida); that pipeline accident data came from Pipeline Safety Tracker, which finds an even worse pipeline safety record for Georgia: 89 incidents, 7 fatalities, 36 injuries, and $56.3 million in property damage.
Among those Georgia incidents was one near Albany, Georgia, 29 May 2004, caused by "Environmental Cracking Related" which caused $209,447 in property damage. That could be a concern about a proposed pipeline put in by a company whose employees told federal inspectors it never conducted key test for corrosion.
Even worse was this one, Continue reading Georgia pipeline safety record worse than in Florida →

Juggling act for Cup coaches
by Tony Webeck
Thu 30 Jun 2016, 04:32 PM
'Team List Tuesday' has become such a part of the rugby league vernacular that it has spawned its own hashtag on social media, but it carries broader implications for the Intrust Super Cup coaches who must juggle their line-ups on a weekly basis.
With the exception of the Central Queensland Capras and PNG Hunters, the remaining Intrust Super Cup clubs are all strengthened by the inclusion of NRL-aligned players who haven't made the top grade that particular week.
Mackay, Northern Pride and Townsville source players from the North Queensland Cowboys, the Melbourne Storm supply fringe first-graders to the Easts Tigers and Sunshine Coast, Burleigh and Tweed share Titans-contracted players and the Broncos have players turning out for Ipswich, Norths, Wynnum, Redcliffe and Souths Logan on a weekly basis.
This week when Norths host Easts, their team will include Broncos-contracted players such as Todd Murphy, Francis Molo, Jai Arrow and Jayden Berrell with the inclusion of halfback Murphy the most significant with regards to the structure of the team.
Most weeks Norths coach Mark Gliddon has access to part-time Broncos Murphy and Berrell for two training sessions per week and is in constant communication with the Brisbane coaching staff as to who he will have access to and for how many sessions prior to game-day.
"If they come to us on a Thursday we get to do video and skills with them, but they don't do any weights or fitness drills with us," explained Gliddon, who can often be seen at Broncos training early in the week keeping an eye on his allocated players.
"I'm very mindful of not having them running too much.
"For the guys who we only get for the one session at the end of the week, we'll have players training in their place as cover and I'm very upfront with them in terms of who will be playing on the weekend. Then it feeds down to our lower grades who have to hold players as well.
"Our lower grade (Brisbane Rugby League) teams, Wests and Valleys, are located at different grounds which makes things a little bit harder, but that just means communication between everyone has to be spot on at all times.
"It's not ideal but in all honesty, it's a help. If I get five quality players back on most weeks, gee it makes a difference, especially three of them being full-time footballers.
"I'm more than happy to get those guys back every week for the little disruption that it causes."
When Wynnum travel to Redcliffe on Saturday night there will be six Broncos players on show with the Seagulls featuring edge back-rowers in Alex Barr, Adam Tuimavave-Gerrard and Salesi Funaki.
For Wynnum coach Jon Buchanan, slotting in those edge players with limited preparation is key to delivering a consistent performance on the weekend.
"It's a necessary evil. The competition is so tough now and you've only got to look at the teams that have got really good links to their affiliate clubs, they're all going well," Buchanan said.
"This year it has impacted on us a little bit more because we have got two edge back-rowers which makes it really hard.
"If they're a middle forward or an outside back you can get by during the week, but because this week we won't see them until Friday night you're doing stuff at training with guys who aren't going to be there on game day."
The most important factor to all NRL players who come back to play in the Intrust Super Cup on any given weekend is attitude.
Souths Logan legend Phil Dennis said earlier this year that Josh McCrone was the best that he had seen in that regard and Gliddon and Buchanan said they have both been fortunate in terms of the quality of young men that they have been allocated.
"Attitude is very important, it's the key to be honest," Buchanan said.
"In my four years as head coach at the club, all the players we've had come back have been quality men so we haven't had any issue with any of the players that have been sent back to us at all."

HomeAtlanta United
MLS Clubs Who Should Be Looking At Atlanta United's Departing Striker Josef Martínez
Mike Rice 0 November 4, 2022
By Mike Rice.
Recent reports out of Atlanta United indicate we have seen Josef Martínez in the five stripes kits for the last time.
It's been one hell of a season in Atlanta this year. Despite not making the playoffs, they have been the focus of media attention throughout the year.
Josef was suspended by the club for one game due to "conduct detrimental to the team" back in September and has been reported this season to tip over a table of catered food for the team, as well as a confrontation with head coach Gonzalo Pineda.
Prior to this season, Josef was a club legend in Atlanta, the face of the franchise and a player who before the season started said he would "be here infinitely".
But now, Atlanta look set to move on from the striker who is the club's all-time leading scorer with 111 goals and 17 assists in 158 games.
He does have one year left on his contract which includes a no-trade clause, which means he would have to agree upon any deal to move away from Atlanta.
A contract buyout is possible, he would then become a free agent and able to arrange his next move on his terms.
So, should Atlanta buy out Josef and he has the freedom to find the club of his choice, who are the likely candidates in MLS?
Cap room and Designated player spaces are being made available, especially with the retirement of Gonzalo Higuain making Miami a possible destination.
They are a side in need of a striker and, having qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs unexpectedly this season, there is determination to come back again and compete in 2023.
Leonardo Campana's loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers has seen him signed permanently ahead of 2023, while Alejandro Pozuelo's deal ends in December.
There is plenty of question marks around who will be in the front line for Inter Miami next season, but head coach Phill Neville has suggested to fans that plans are in place and DPs could be signed.
As we saw over and over in 2022, if Hany Mukhtar isn't scoring then neither are Nashville. Their German DP was the league's top scorer with 23 goals this year and carried his side to the Western Conference Playoffs, losing in the first round to LA Galaxy.
Aké Loba has been a bust for the team as a huge DP signing a year and a half ago, they need to move him on and bring in someone who will be able to provide goals to take the burden off Mukhtar.
Nashville move back to the Eastern Conference in 2023 and know they need to do become a more dangerous side across the team in attack.
Josef's injury history may concern them considering the deal he may be looking for, especially when they need to get the right striker in to quell any frustrations fans are having with the recruitment.
Kei Kamara is not getting any younger, even if he refuses to, while it appears Romell Quioto's future is unclear and Mason Toye struggled to make an impact in 2022.
The club are losing Djordje Mihailovic who already agreed a move to AZ Alkmaar earlier this year, while Ismaël Koné and Victor Wanyama could also be moving on — just speculation at the moment for both players.
Montréal will be in need of reinforcements and, especially, goals. Martinez could surely provide this should the option be available. Whether he is the right fit for the club or not remains to be seen.
A lot of teams in the Eastern Conference could really do with a centre forward!
Chicago brought in Kacper Przbylko from Philadelphia Union at the start of 2022 and it really hasn't worked out. He managed five goals in a low-scoring side but it was 18-year-old Jhon Durán who led the team with eight.
Moving on from Przbylko and adding Martinez could give them more bite in the final third while also being good for aiding Durán's rapid development.
They have plenty of potential around the centre forward in 2023, with the likes of Chris Mueller and Xherdan Shaqiri.
Heading into the CONCACAF Champions League next season, the Whitecaps managed just 40 goals in MLS this season. They were the lowest scorers in the Western Conference and only DC United (36) and Chicago Fire (39) scored less.
No deal has been announced yet for striker Lucas Cavallini, which would open space for the salary demands of a player like Martinez.
Cavallini was the top scorer in 2022 for the Whitecaps with nine while their other DP, Ryan Gauld, managed eight. Vancouver's second centre forward, Brian White could only reach four for the season.
Adding a player with Martinez's experience and quality in front of goal would add to a roster which is slowly improving and in need of some depth. He could be a fun addition to the side and a big help in their CCL campaign in 2023.
A couple of long shots, unrealistic but wouldn't-it-be-fun-if-it-happened teams include Toronto FC. Why not add Martinez with Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi? Why worry about defending with these three leading the line? And Orlando City could do with some more depth up front.

Racer's boss stays ahead of the curve
PHOTO: Racer's boss stays ahead of the curve
Mr Koh mortgaged his house to raise capital to start his own business in 1997. Today, his 10-year plan includes increasing the number of patents registered from one a year to three to five on average, and doubling his company's revenue to $100 million.
When Mr Willy Koh took the plunge to start his own business 15 years ago, he chose an apt name: Racer Technology.
The company has raced ahead to achieve an annual turnover of almost $50 million a year - and Mr Koh, 58, aims to double that figure over the next decade.
Racer manufactures medical and health-care products such as hearing aids and has even helped to develop a health tracker, a wearable device tracking statistics such as heart rate and calories that is the market's "smartest".
For instance, it monitors sleep patterns, providing the user with an idea of how his lifestyle might be affecting his sleep.
Apart from manufacturing, Racer is now increasingly involved in the design process as well to help firms reduce costs and increase efficiency.
"An issue we see in the United States is that while their product design is very good, when it comes to mechanical design - how it can be manufactured and be functional - it is not as good because most of their designers have not seen a factory before," Mr Koh said.
This is where Racer steps in at an earlier stage to provide input as its complementary strength lies in "hardware, mechanical design and production".
Take, for instance, the health tracker. Racer was able to address certain mechanical issues to ensure the product could be manufactured to a higher standard.
This led to the yield rate - the number of working products - increasing from 65 to 99 per cent.
Racer is also taking on "complete-built" projects where, for instance, a client gives it an idea and the firm comes up with a product from scratch, including design, software and production.
A self-proclaimed risk-taker, Mr Koh revealed that he had mortgaged his house to get enough capital when he decided to strike out on his own in 1997.
His love for product design and a desire to be his own boss were the key drivers that led him to take that step after working as a product designer and programme manager for American firms for most of his life.
While medical technology is an expensive business which requires "deep pockets" - it takes five to eight years to get regulatory approvals for a product to get on the market - the firm focuses on this segment as the average life span of a medical product is 15 to 20 years, compared to a shelf life as short as six months for a consumer product.
Racer has enlarged its footprint overseas with either a sales office, design office or factory every year since it was established. It now has a presence in six countries.
It also makes products such as security and automotive parts.
It is looking for collaborations with smaller firms in the San Francisco Bay Area, the epicentre of the global start-up scene.
A sales and design office was opened in the US five years ago and it has been enjoying a healthy stream of projects.
And Mr Koh, who makes it a point to train his key staff personally, has big plans for the future. His 10-year plan includes attaining three to five patents yearly, up from about one on average now, and doubling the company's revenue to $100 million.
He also hopes to eventually develop Racer's own products rather than make products or components for other firms.
But challenges remain with the recent hike in foreign worker levy and a lower quota, which have increased total costs by 8 per cent, and the strong Singapore dollar putting a strain on the company's bottom line.
The move to a more productive economy is a "painful transition" for small and medium-sized enterprises. But if a company can survive this, it can survive anything, Mr Koh added.
"If you go to my production floor, half of my machines are not running. It's not because I don't have orders, it's because I don't have workers to run them... We are now looking to shift some of our production to Indonesia and Malaysia."
High-technology manufacturing, however, will be kept at its headquarters and research and development centre in Singapore.
Already, Racer invests more in automation now after making a decision to bring in machines once three months of steady orders have been received - down from the six to nine months previously.
"But it's also risky because the product might not last long. Six months later, the product could be discontinued but we would have already invested a ton of money."
Despite the slowing global economy, Racer is forging ahead and banking on lifting its sales in the US while sustaining sales in Europe.
If Mr Koh's track record is anything to go by, the race is on.

Pediatric Prosthetic Eye Care in many cases are the most challenging and rewarding patients. As a father of a boy and a girl, I approach each child as if they are my own, and I treat every Pediatrics patient the way I would want somebody to treat me.
Many times children come to our office for the first time traumatized from years of doctors poking and prodding them. In pediatrics, it is essential to develop a report with the child so they understand what you are doing to them and why so they can assist in their care and explain what they need to be happy with their treatment.
A customized approach is needed for each prosthetic eye for a child. Our goal of Pediatric Prosthetic Eye Care is to minimize the discomfort and irritation when creating their custom prosthetic eye.


Callers have been flooding the Trump administration's new illegal immigration hotline with stories about aliens. Only not the kind the administration was thinking of. People are trolling the line with calls about space aliens.
The hotline was activated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the first time on Wednesday, and there were reportedly so many prank calls that callers either face long delays or can't get through at all.
ICE is not happy about this. The agency said the trolling is only hurting the victims.
ICE will "adjust resources, if necessary" to deal with the prank calls, the agency said.
One of the first people to troll the hotline was Alexander McCoy, a Marine vet from New York.
He's outraged by the Trump administration's policies toward undocumented immigrants and was looking for a "fancy way" to push back.
People who say they have been trolling the hotline shared what they said on social media.
One said he called to report "a little green martian" who stole from his garbage. He even attached a picture of the suspect — Marvin the Martian from the "Looney Tunes" cartoons.
Alexander called the hotline again several times on Thursday but was unable to get through due to high call volume.
Callers to the hotline on Friday heard a recording that said the same thing.


Three young researchers, PhDs of the University of Ljubljana—Zala Lenarčič, Tina Lebar and Boris Brus—were awarded the Jožef Stefan gold medals for achievements in the field of natural sciences.
Boris Brus was awarded a gold medal for his resonant PhD thesis on "Structured Planning and Evaluation of Compounds with Potential Immunomodulatory and Neuroprotective Action." In his PhD thesis, Boris Brus, by exploring three therapeutically important objects, wanted to discover new potential biologically active substances that would help alleviate the course of immune and nervous system diseases, and perhaps completely cure them.
Tina Lebar was awarded a gold medal for the scientific novelty of her PhD thesis on "Planning of Gene Regulatory Networks Based on DNA-binding Proteins." She changed the mechanism of large immune cells activity, gaining the ability to control their work by means of various signals. By adding to them a certain chemical substance, a compound, an antibiotic, one can observe changes in the activity of cells. This scientific work is of particular interest for therapy and treatment of diseases.
Zala Lenarčič received a gold medal for her resonant PhD thesis on "Non-equilibrium Properties of Mott insulators." The PhD research by Zala Lenarčič is from the field of theoretical physics of a solid body. She investigated the effect of external stimuli on the substance response that belong to quantum integrable systems. Her theoretical study of the substance response to external stimuli gives an idea of the interaction between the building blocks of molecules.
This year, during the award ceremony, a lecture by the famous robotics professor of Stanford University, Oussame Khatib, has ben held for the first time. He presented the development of the humanoid robot Ocean One, with the help of which a new technology of intuitive tactile interaction was applied in the oceanic environment.

Myotonic Dystrophy and Pregnancy
Zainab Ashraf Khan ( West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven, United Kingdom )
Shahid Aziz Anwer Khan ( Brighton & Sussex University Hospital NHS Trust )
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common neuromuscular disease in adults with a prevalence of 2.4-5.5 per 100,000. Here we describe two cases of DM and discuss their obstetric complications. Our first case concerns a 39 year old multipara whose pregnancies were complicated by recurrent abdominal pain, polyhydramnios and post partum haemorrhage which was attributed to DM. In our second case we discuss the management of a 27 year old woman with di-chorionic, di-amniotic twins. Chorionic Villous Sampling at 11 weeks revealed one of the fetuses, a male; to be afflicted by DM. Selective termination of the affected twin was performed. Unfortunately, she developed severe oligohydramnios and chronic liquor leak. This resulted in the intra-uterine death of the second twin 5 days later. Our cases highlight the importance of prenatal diagnosis and prompt genetic counselling. A multidisciplinary team approach is required in the management of such high risk cases.
DM is a progressive systemic disease. It is characterised by myotonia, myopathy of voluntary and involuntary muscles, frontal alopecia, lens opacities, intellectual deterioration, cardiac conduction defects, alveolar hypoventilation and various endocrinopathies. Symptoms vary greatly, ranging from just cataracts presenting at a later age to involvement of multiple organ systems resulting in extreme muscle weakness and breathing difficulties after birth.1-3 It has a worldwide distribution, involving most ethnic groups with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Men with this disorder generally have gonadal atrophy and infertility; however affected women can become pregnant. When they do become pregnant, their myopathy may worsen; resulting in serious obstetrical complications.2
The first case concerns a 39 year old multiparous woman with significant family history of DM. She was not particularly bright at school and missed classes frequently due to recurrent illnesses. Her first pregnancy ended in spontaneous miscarriage, at 15 weeks of gestation. In her second pregnancy, she presented with abdominal pain and underwent an appendicectomy at 19 weeks. The pregnancy progressed to spontaneous labour at 40 weeks, resulting in a healthy boy weighing 3,110 grams. Her delivery was complicated with atonic post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) of 1500ml, which was managed successfully by Syntocinon. Her third pregnancy was complicated by several episodes of abdominal pain. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed a large baby and mild polyhydramnios. Labour was induced at 41 weeks and a baby boy weighing 4500 grams was delivered. The neonate was floppy and had pyrexi. He subsequently recovered. She again had significant PPH of 1800mls requiring blood transfusions.
Her present pregnancy was complicated by marked polyhydramnios. She had multiple admissions with abdominal pain and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). Emergency C-Section was performed at 38 weeks due to breech presentation; giving birth to a male baby weighing 3,620 grams. At birth, the neonate was floppy requiring oxygen. He was initially fed via a nasogastric tube but later changed to intravenous feeding as he developed aspiration pneumonia. Chromosomal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed DM. Even 4 months later, he remained floppy with poor head control, facial palsy, bilateral iris and retinal colobomata, bilateral talipes requiring orthopaedic intervention and physiotherapy.
The second case concerns a 27 years old woman with significant familial history of DM. As her father suffered from DM, she along with her siblings underwent extensive investigations including electomyographic (EMG) studies in 1983. All of her investigations were normal. However, her eldest brother showed some signs of DM later in life.
In 1998, when she first became pregnant, she requested predictive testing for DM and was found to have an expansion in the DM gene. Pre-natal diagnosis suggested the foetus to be affected with expansion of the DM gene greater than hers. She underwent medical termination, at 16 weeks. This was complicated by retained placenta requiring evacuation of retained products of conception (ERPC).
In 2002, she again became pregnant. Chorionic villous sampling (CVS) confirmed the foetus of not being affected. Spontaneous labour occurred at 38 weeks and a healthy baby boy weighing 3,610 grams was delivered.
In her present pregnancy she conceived di-chorionic, di-amniotic twins. CVS at 11 weeks, revealed one male foetus, to be affected by DM. A week later, she underwent selective termination. During the next three weeks, the surviving pregnancy developed severe oligohydramnios. Chronic liquor leak was diagnosed. Termination was advised in view of a 95% risk of pulmonary immaturity; however she elected to continue her pregnancy. USG at 25 weeks demonstrated retarded foetal growth with severe oligohydramnios. 5 days later the foetus died in-utero. Medical termination was performed. The foetus was delivered and the placenta removed piecemeal under anaesthesia.
Phenotypically, DM can be divided in 4 main groups. The 'Mild type' is characterised by cataract and mild weakness affecting elderly patients. 'Adult type' starts after puberty and progresses slowly with cardio-vascular, gastro-intestinal and respiratory manifestations. 'Childhood type' occurs from 1-10 years of age and is characterised by hypotonia, learning difficulties and limited motor skills. 'Congenital DM' is the severest form with symptoms of generalised muscular hypoplasia and mental retardation. About 75% of these babies die within the first year.3-6
The DM gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 19 band 13q. It codes a protein kinase found in skeletal muscle, where it possibly plays a regulatory role. This gene contains an unstable tri-nucleotide repetition Cytosine-Thymine-Guanine (CTG). In normal subjects the number of repeats ranges from 5 to 38, however in the classical form of DM that is DM1, the CTG pattern is repeated as many as 2000 times, disrupting the normal function of the protein. Consequently, leads to DNA instability correlating with increasing severity and early onset of the disease.7
CTG repeat size can change when passed from one generation to the next, for reasons unknown. Moreover, this instability is biased, as the repeats almost always enlargers when inherited. This phenomenon is called 'genetic anticipation'. Anticipation is more pronounced in the maternal transmission of the gene.7
Mildly affected women can be symptom free but are at 50% risk of transmitting the condition to their offspring and may give birth to an infant that is severely affected.8 Contralaterly if the father has transmitted the mutation, the affected offspring has a form of the disease, which often presents late and is of comparable severity to that of the father.9
Prenatal testing can be performed to determine whether the foetus has inherited DM. Diagnosis is possible by either chorionic villous biopsy or amniocentesis with a DNA analysis measuring the CTG repeat count. This testing may be done if complications develop during pregnancies that are suspicious for congenital DM, or if a parent has tested positive. A positive test with a large repeat expansion indicates that the foetus is likely to have a severe congenital form of DM. Termination of pregnancy at this stage is a difficult decision and parents should be offered careful counselling.7
Pregnancy is associated with an exacerbation in this myopathy.2 Major antepartum complications include polyhydramnios, preterm labour, UTI and placenta praevia.10 Polyhydramnios can result from decreased swallowing of liquor and is an indication of severe muscular dysfunction of the foetus as seen in our case 1. Polyhydramnios of unknown aetiology may thus be the first sign of DM. It predisposes to preterm labour, uterine inertia and PPH. Perinatal mortality is 15-16% compared with 1.9% in the normal population and mainly attributed to congenitally affected foetuses in conjunction with pregnancy complications.5,6
First stage of labour is usually prolonged although a rapid first stage has been described. The second stage is often complicated by poor voluntary effort secondary to muscular dysfunction requiring assisted delivery by vacuum or forceps.4,6 Third stage of labour is frequently complicated by PPH due to inadequate uterine contraction or placental adhesion, as seen in case 1 or retained placenta as in case 2. Cases involving placenta accreta and increta have also been described.6,10
Patients with DM are particularly sensitive to anaesthetics. Intra and post-operative complications are relatively frequent. Administration of depolarising relaxants can result in severe myotonic spasms. Marked respiratory depression may occur as a response to barbiturates. Therefore, patients in labour should not receive heavy sedation, and local and regional anaesthetics are preferable to general anaesthesia.6 Reduction in maximum expiratory pressure and retained secretions may occur during the peri-operative period which can result in aspiration, atelectasis and broncho-pneumonia.
Pregnancy with DM is a rare entity. If the mother is known to be affected, prenatal diagnosis and prompt genetic counselling should be offered. The option of termination should be discussed. If by choice pregnancy is continued, successful management would require a multidisciplinary team approach involving obstetricians, physicians, anaesthetists, paediatricians and geneticists.

Q: auto_increment not setting value for primary key? I'm baffled, when I use the terminal (mysql) and insert into username,account_password columns, user_id AUTO_INCREMENTS just as it should.
my table:
        CREATE TABLE users (
  user_id int NOT NULL  AUTO_INCREMENT,
  user_type VARCHAR(20) NULL,
  creation_date TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  username VARCHAR(100) NOT  NULL,
  account_password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
);

yet when I use this script:
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';# good for debugging, FATAL kills program so warnings are more identifiable
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); # good for debugging, sends info to browser
use DBI;
use DBD::mysql;
use Digest::SHA qw(sha256);

print header, start_html;
my $fName    = param('firstName');
my $lName    = param('lastName');
my $compName = param('compName');
my $email    = param('email');
my $pswrd    = param('password');
my $cnfPswrd = param('confPassword');
my $encpswrd = "";

#check passwords match, if not display error, and exit script
if ($pswrd eq $cnfPswrd) {
    $encpswrd = sha256($pswrd);
} else {
    print "Passwords did not match! refresh form!";
    exit;
}

print end_html;

I get this error:
 DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Field 'user_id' doesn't have a default value at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/compSignUpDBCGI.pl line 44.

I'm assuming it's likely something wrong with the handler. What am I missing??

A: If your persons table has a foreign key to the users table then you need insert the users record first, then get the id of the new users record and add that to the SQL to insert the persons record.
Something like this:
my $usersQuery   = "INSERT INTO users (username, account_password) VALUES (?,?)";
$sth      = $dbh->prepare($usersQuery);
$sth->execute($email, $encpswrd);

$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE username = ?');
$sth->execute($email);
my $user_id = $sth->fetch->[0];

my $personsQuery = "INSERT INTO persons (user_id ,first_name, last_name) VALUES (?,?,?)";
$sth   = $dbh->prepare($personsQuery);
$sth->execute($user_id, $fName, $lName);

This is an area where DBIx::Class will definitely make your life easier.

Q: How to send large amount of text between two views using Django I need a recommendation to pass large amount of text between two views with Django.
The code below is what I thought, but first is not working and second I don't know if its better using cookies.
<form method="POST"> {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.post }} <!-- This is a textarea, the user can write as much as he wants -->
    <input type="submit" value="Prepare to send">
</form>

then:
def sender(request):
    if form.is_valid():
        cd = form.cleaned_data
        letter = cd['post']
        next = reverse('new_view', kwargs={'post':post})
        return HttpResponseRedirect(next)

def new_view(request, post=''):
    return render(request, 'new_view.html', {'post': post})

and in the urls.py
url(r'^new_view/', new_view, {'post':'baam'}, name='new_view'),

This is raising this exception:
Exception Type: NoReverseMatch
Exception Value: Reverse for 'new_view' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'post': u''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['new_view/']

A: As per your url definition, the new_view url does not take any parameter hence the error that you are getting.
But passing data in url, specifically large data as you mentioned, is not good. Cookies or django sessions are much better option.
To use django session update your view as
def sender(request):
    if form.is_valid():
        cd = form.cleaned_data
        letter = cd['post']
        request.session['post_data'] = letter
        next = reverse('new_view',)
        return HttpResponseRedirect(next)

def new_view(request,):
    post_data = request.session.get('post_data')
    return render(request, 'new_view.html', {'post': post})

The Vintage Biscuit That Once Pulled Over $20,000 At Auction
HK.Studio/Shutterstock
By Nancy Aziz/Sept. 2, 2022 11:43 am EST
Sometimes a slice of wedding cake ends up in a couple's freezer, to be thawed and enjoyed on an anniversary or two. That's one kind of preserved historical memory involving baked goods.
There are scores of films, documentaries, television shows, books, and articles dedicated to telling the story of the Titanic, the famously "unsinkable" ship that tragically sank in 1912, claiming some 1,500 lives in the process. The coverage, even now, is impressive, because all these years later, people still hunger for tidbits of information about the sad tale of the storied ship. And many don't just want to know about it; they want a piece of its notorious history for themselves, at any cost. Enter a biscuit from the Titanic that sold in 2015 for £15,000 — about $23,000 (via ABC News).
An unknown collector from Greece snapped up the rather dry-looking, but remarkably well-preserved biscuit at an auction in the U.K. where other Titanic memorabilia was being sold. The auctioneer, Andrew Aldridge of Henry Aldridge & Son Auctioneers, was quoted as telling the BBC the items were some of the most "collectible and iconic" items from the ship to be sold. Today's processed food products include sell-by/best-by dates. Among the lot of Titanic-related memorabilia, how did a bit of commercial baked goods manage to enter the market more than a century after its creation?

The century-old biscuit is probably one of the most expensive baked products in the world (via History Daily). In perhaps a bit of historical irony, the company that made this now pricey artifact was known for manufacturing cheaper items back in the day, like dog biscuits and foods used as rations for emergencies or war.
If it hadn't been for newlyweds James and Mabel Fenwick, the biscuit might not have survived to this day. They were on their honeymoon on the ship the RMS Carpathia, which ultimately helped rescue 700 people from the Titanic, when they found the biscuit. It had been part of a survival kit on a Titanic lifeboat, according to History Daily. James Fenwick wrapped the biscuit in a Kodak film envelope and included a note that read, "Pilot biscuit from Titanic lifeboat April 1912." He then kept it as a souvenir, according to ABC News.

The pricey biscuit that brought in $23,000 actually sold for $8,000 more than expected, according to ABC News. But it was just part of a collection of items once owned by James and Mabel Fenwick sold at the 2015 auction in the U.K. Also offered up was a photographic negative of ice floes, shot from the rescue ship Carpathia, along with James Fenwick's personal journal describing details of the harrowing rescue of Titanic survivors (via invaluable).
While the biscuit was certainly expensive, people have paid a lot more to own a piece of the ill-fated ship's tragic history. In 2013, someone paid $1.7 million for a violin (above) that's said to have been played while the Titanic sank (via the Daily News). A letter from a survivor is also on the list of the most expensive Titanic items sold. In 2014 it sold for $200,000. And in 2011, a ship plan sold for $336,000. The plan was used in an investigation to determine why the Titanic sank, according to the Daily News.

Fateful Findings (January 18th at midnight at the Capitol Theatre)
[FATEFUL FINDINGS screens Saturday January 18th at 11:59 pm at the Capitol Theatre.]
If you're looking for a film that delivers the same kind of deadpan, head scratching, expectation squashing awfulness as Tommy Wiseau's cult sensation THE ROOM, look no further than Neil Breen's FATEFUL FINDINGS. Billed as a "paranormal thriller", the film begins with young Dylan and Leah finding a mushroom that turns into a jewelry box. The kids put the box back, but not before Dylan takes a black stone out of it. Soon after, Leah moves away and we flash forward a few decades to the present, just in time to see Dylan (now played by writer/director/editor/production designer Neil Breen) get hit by a car resulting in severe injuries.
Apparently the black stone heals Dylan, who just walks out of the hospital and goes home to his wife Emily (Klara Landrat) more or less as if nothing big has happened. Dylan is a writer supposedly working on his second book, but as we soon learn he's involved in something much bigger. But why spend time on that when we can explore the painfully dull domestic lives of Dylan and Emily, as well as their bickering neighbors Jim (David Silva) and Amy (Victoria Valene)?
For the most part, very little happens in the movie. Whenever something really major does happen (like, say, a murder or suicide, or a murder someone tries to make look like a suicide), the characters behave no differently, and it's a toss up whether or not there will be any payoff story-wise. Eventually, two of the numerous plot strands begin to emerge as important: Dylan reuniting with Leah (now played by Jennifer Autry), and his Edward Snowden-like whistle blowing hacktivism, which leads him to discover secrets so damning about the government and big business that the whole system could come tumbling down. Which, even in a bad movie, you would think might make for some excitement. But Breen, ever the cinematic rebel, refuses to take the predictable route.
Everyone's performance is so wooden that emotion has to be conveyed either through exaggerated expressions (Landrat is especially adept at this), or through bits of physical business. The latter is generally reserved for anger, and almost always involves throwing something. Drinks are thrown. Books are thrown. Laptops are thrown. Books are thrown at laptops. You get the idea. We also get scenes of Breen and one of his actresses (we never see her face, but I'm assuming it's Autry) curled up nude in a room covered with black garbage bags. Exactly what these scenes are supposed to be or mean is anyone's guess, but they pop up enough one can only assume they mean something to Breen.
Is this "the worst movie ever made"? Probably not. There are any number of microbudget films out there, some self aware enough to use their badness as a selling point, others clearly made by cluelessly inept filmmakers confident of their own genius, with plenty that fall somewhere in between. And honestly, no one really wants to see the worst movie ever made. What they're looking for in films like this and THE ROOM are bad films that were made with passion and sincerity, and because of that still manage to entertain on some level, even if by traditional Hollywood standards of filmmaking they're failures.
I found FATEFUL FINDINGS just a little too deadpan and lacking in action for my tastes; I prefer my schlock fast-paced and over the top. Still, the film was not without interest for me, and for the crowd that made THE ROOM a cult hit, FINDINGS should work considerably better. Quantifying a film like this into a star rating seems even more ludicrous than usual, but if I must give a number, I'd say 1 out of 4 stars. But I mean that in the best possible way.
By the way, outside of a few festival showings, this screening at the Capitol Theatre is the premiere showing of FATEFUL FINDINGS. Who says nothing cool ever happens in Cleveland?

If Cleveland Cinemas ever wants to have a real showing of the Worst Movies Ever Made Nobody's Heard Of, give me a call. I possess a unique VHS obscurity called DESPERATION RISING, a 80s D-I-Y crime drama about a yuppie businessman learning What Really Matters when he's held hostage by a street gang. Hilarious in its misplaced sincerity. I think the filmmaker/star hastily re-edited it to be more of an intentional comedy. Can't be sure. Tommy Wiseau would be fab in a remake.

"In the Socratic discussion culture hired by means of Plato and by means of Galileo for reading clinical questions and the suitability of latest tools for facts assortment, this can be a tough contribution. do we stream past the discredited introspectionism of early reports of awake event with a process just like the systematic experience-sampling tools that experience emerged long ago 4 a long time?

The matter of the desire has lengthy been seen as vital to Heidegger's later inspiration. within the first booklet to target this challenge, Bret W. Davis clarifies key matters from the philosopher's later period--particularly his critique of the fruits of the heritage of metaphysics within the technological "will to will" and the opportunity of Gelassenheit or "releasement" from this willful method of being within the world--but additionally exhibits that the query of will is on the very center of Heidegger's pondering, a pivotal factor in his direction from Being and Time (1926) to "Time and Being" (1962).
5. Variability in between-subject reports implies my openness to a variety of experience. Different people have quite different patterns of responding. For example, one person reports nearly all inner speech; another reports nearly all images; another reports a mix of forms of inner experience. This seems to indicate that I, as one particular DES investigator, am open to a variety of experience. It is therefore not the case that I have a "favorite" kind of inner experience, or that I am "blind" to all other kinds of inner experience.

The interview is not structured, but instead asks that question over and over, in as many different forms as necessary, to focus the subject on the precise moment of the beep and nothing else. That is, we are not interested in the subject's reaction to the beep; we are not interested in what led up to the beep; we are not interested in what caused the experience; we are not interested in whether the experience is typical or rare.
Russ: Nisbett and Wilson's 1977 criticism of introspection is so widely quoted as to require comment. The criticism is that "the accuracy of subjective reports is so poor as to suggest than any introspective access that may exist is not sufficient to produce generally correct or reliable reports" (Nisbett and Wilson 1977, p. 233). Critics of introspective-like methods have often taken Nisbett and Wilson's paper to be an unconditional refutation of introspection in general. However, it is not widely known that Nisbett and Wilson, later in that same paper, recognized the possibility of accurate reports about inner experience: "We also wish to acknowledge that the studies do not suffice to show that people could never be accurate about the processes involved.
