Bailey Zimmerman Says He's Not REALLY Against Falling in Love
Carena Liptak Published: November 21, 2022

Bailey Zimmerman delivers a scorching take-down of romance in his Billboard Country Airplay Top 10 hit, "Fall in Love" -- but he says that the song isn't quite that simple.
"It's kind of more than that, I feel like. It's just the feeling right after she leaves, or right after she does something stupid, you feel like you never wanna fall in love again, you know? So it's more like, right in the moment, that feeling," he explains to Taste of Country Night's Evan Paul at the CMA Awards Radio Row.
Turns out, Zimmerman himself isn't quite so jaded, either. "But no, I would love to fall in love," he continues. "I want a family and stuff, so. One day, baby!"
The singer goes on to say that he didn't have anyone specific in mind while he and his collaborators were writing the song. In fact, he can't take the credit for much of its message: His co-writer Gavin Lucas wrote most of the song, with Zimmerman only contributing the second verse. Still, like anyone else, he knows how it feels to get his heart broken.
"Obviously everybody has those people in their life that have done that. But that'll be a mystery," he says.
Zimmerman has spent the last couple months of 2022 enjoying the breakout success of his EP, Leave the Light On, which arrived in mid-October. The track list includes "Fall in Love," plus fan-favorite tracks "Never Leave" and "A Rock and a Hard Place" and six more songs.

This week we start a plank challenge for the month of February. As in most exercises there are various ways to plank, but the first week we are going to focus on just a regular plank. The inserted picture shows the proper and safe way to hold a plank. As it says, you want to avoid the neck strain; but also making sure to keep your core tight and focus on not letting your hips lower too much will also keep you from putting any unnecessary strain on your lower back. If you need to modify the plank, you can drop to your knees, but still keeping your core tight. This week the challenge is to plank for a minimum of 20 minutes. Time your planks, hold it for as long as you can, and keep track of your time for each hold. Add your times up and the goal is to have a total time of 20 minutes or more by the end of the week. Some of us can hold a plank for about 30 seconds, and then some of us can hold it for several minutes, either way push yourself beyond your comfort zone and hold each plank as long as possible. And remember, your mind will tell you your body is ready to stop, but in reality your body can keep going! So, make sure to get out of your head, focus, and continue to push yourself to increase your plank hold each time.

New anti-hate crime app is launched
The average person uses their smartphone for five hours a day - about a third of the time they are awake
Published: 16:10 Thursday 12 May 2016
A new smartphone app has been launched making it easier than ever to report homophobic and hate crimes in Kirklees.
The new service launches on May 17 to coincide with International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHO).
IDAHO aims to tackle prejudice and discrimination and promote the rights of lesbian and gay people.
The new app, which has been funded thanks to a grant from the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, lets people report hate crime incidents on the go, as soon as they happen.
The app is free to download and links directly to an online facility to report hate crime and incidents.
The person who reports the incident has a choice of which agencies the report is sent to, such as the council, police, housing, victim support and others.
The intention is to give a faster response to reports via the app.
Carol Gilchrist, Kirklees Council's Head of Safe and Cohesive Communities, said: "We want to help communities and individuals understand what hate crime is and encourage victims and witnesses to report it.
"This new app will help us reach out to those at risk and allow victims to report hate crime 24/7, wherever they are.
"Reporting hate crime can be quite daunting so we wanted to make reporting as easy and accessible as possible."
To download the app, visit www.iamapps.mobi/hatehurts.

Q: How to debug a problem when loading native libs in Java? I have a problem relative to JNI and Java. Here is the thing : the client wants us to install a certain app on his system. This app uses native libs, but the client does not want to put these libs in his system folder, for reasons I don't really know or understand, but can't change.
To circumvent thius problem, I tried to launch the JVM with -Djava.library.path, putting the right dlls in it. But the fact is, I have a UnsatisfiedLinkError when I try to launch my project. From what I can see, the problem is not in the main dll called (because the file obviously exists, I saw it when debugging), I think that must be some of the libs linked by this first dll that are problematic, but I don't know how to find what dll is missing.
Any idea on how to solve this problem ?

A: My first port of call (even for JNI debugging) is always Dependency Walker. If nothing else, it will tell you every other DLL that your DLL depends on.
ldd is the equivalent for Linux.

A: I think that parameter is for specifying directories, not files. So if your dll is c:\mylibs\lib1.dll then you have to set its value to c:\mylibs.
I don't know if it allows multiple paths. Let me check.
Edit
That parameter do allow multiple paths.
See section 2.7 in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/start.html
It doesn't specify the format but I imagine you can use the same separator than in classpath. It says you can also use the PATH system variable.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the government to expand tax breaks to more deposits that will supply gas for the Novatek-led liquefied natural gas project in Russia's Yamal peninsula, according to the Kremlin's web site.
Putin has urged domestic companies to develop seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) and diversify away from cash-strapped Europe where demand for gas has weakened.
The $20 billion Yamal LNG project, where France's Total and China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) also have stakes, enjoys some tax breaks, such as zero mineral extraction tax and export duty from the Yamal fields.
Putin has ordered tax breaks for the fields from the neighbouring Gydan peninsula in the Arctic, where Novatek also has exploration licences, according to documents posted at the Kremlin web site.
"The news of the potential extension of the tax incentives is welcome," Sberbank CIB analysts said in a note.
"Novatek's Salmanovsky and Geofizichesky fields in Gydan, right across the narrow Ob Bay from (Yamal's) South Tambey, have resources to be producing up to 30 billion cubic metres of gas and 1.2 million tonnes of condensate as soon as 2020, with output potentially starting in 2017."
Russia's only LNG plant, with annual capacity of 10 million tonnes, is located in the Russian far eastern island of Sakhalin and is operated by a Gazprom-led consortium, which includes Anglo-Dutch major Royal Dutch Shell.
The government is working on amendments to the law to liberalise LNG exports - so far exclusively handled by state-controlled Gazprom - with a view to implementing the new regulations from Jan. 1, 2014.
The exports liberalisation is crucial for Yamal LNG, which is slated to produce 16.5 million tonnes of the frozen seaborne gas in 2018.

Review: Heavenly Sword – Ninja Theory – PS3
December 25, 2014 by Azazel
The next game in the Fast Games series is Heavenly Sword, released by Ninja Theory on the PS3 way back in 2007. As usual, I picked this one up years ago. September 2009 in this case, shortly after I got my PS3. Marouda and I both took turns playing this one when we first got it, and at the time it looked great and was a lot of fun. We stopped playing for no reason in particular, and the game went back into the library, but always one of the games near the front of the shelf, since I've always wanted to get back to it.
Playing it now, it seems to be a bit shallow on the gameplay and long-winded in the cutscenes. Perhaps I'm less patient now, or perhaps I was just keen to play it whenever she had the controller. Gameplay is prety much 2-button-mashing Single-player-only-Dynasty-Warriors-Lite for almost the entire first chapter. (There are 5 "proper" chapters + a boss fight). Once you start to use the sword at the end of Chapter 1 the combat opens up a lot and becomes more interesting, though it still feels both dated and very DW. Yes, I've been spoiled by Arkham and Shadows of Mordor. It's very button-mashy.
The PS3's loose thumbsticks are horrible when it comes to the shooting sequences (I vastly prefer the 360 controller to the plasticky cheap feeling POS that of the PS3 controller – thank god the PS4 is such an improvement, though I do still prefer the XBox thumbstick placement), and there's some gimmicky aftertouch bullshit in the shooting controls as well which soon becomes central to the gameplay progression, but the initial shooting sequences are a waste of time. My solution for the awful crossbow scene early in the game was to literally put the controller down and wait for it to finish so I could get back to the game's Milkshake – which is obviously the choppy-choppy action. I'm all for mixing up gameplay, but I like it to, you know, be good. The later cannon sections are a little better (though they pretty much entirely rely on the sixaxis aftertouch gimmick), but it's still sub-par compared to similar stuff I've done in World of Warcraft of all things.
Sadly, the game keeps doing this, with the game being incredibly keen for me to pick up barrels and boxes and shields and throw them at my enemies while utilising the badly-done gimmicky aftertouch controls. Sadly, the shield-throwing is mandatory through much of the game since Nariko needs to hit endless little round gongs and shields to open doors, destroy siege engines, and unpuzzle puzzles. Unfortunately, it's tedious at best and frustrating at worst, since the enforced camera angles (shades of Onimusha and Devil May Cry) make it difficult to judge which way Nariko is facing, and so her throws can be right out, and not fixable with sixaxis waggle.
Heavenly Sword showing its Dynasty Warriors-inspired combat.
Visually, the game is nothing to write home about. It looks okay, and I'm aware that it's from early in the previous generation of consoles, but the identi-cloned enemies, noticable aliasing (another PS3 bugbear of mine) and older graphics make it feel like a late-gen PS2 game a lot of the time. At the same time, some of the things like the splash screens and the pre-rendered cinematics are very well done, and could almost pass for some of the current crop of cross-gen PS4 games. Likewise, the environments vary from slightly-better-than-PS2 right up to quite indeed, on a par with games like AC2/Brotherhood – though obviously far less expansive or interactive.
Character design is pretty average. Half naked hot chick and crazy younger (half-sister?) is pretty much a usual trope, except they're running around half-naked in the snow. Her outfit isn't quite as incongruous in Chapter 2 and later levels, though the point still remains that this was the clothing worn at home, in the snow.
Much of the reception when this game came out seems to have been based around how hot the main character Nariko is. Amusingly, I found this out when I was looking at info about the length of this game, mixed in amongst oh so many of the complaints about the length were people including how hot Nariko is amongst the "it's so replayable" justifications. It just makes me /facepalm and laugh in equal measure. I don't agree with everything that Sarkeesian says by any stretch of the imagination, but she does have some good points in there, and this game's character design and fanbase seem to be amongst those points. I'm fine with Nariko being unrealistically pretty (Jude Law as Vasilli Zaitsev, anyone?) but her outfit only covers half of her arse. I mean – Come on, guys.
They did a good job with the splash screen character (face) model.
I've seen this game described as an "interactive movie" and while that description isn't accurate or fair to either the game or films in general, it's accurate to say that the story is pushed strongly, almost over gameplay. While the story is pretty thin and trope-ridden, the cutscenes and voice acting (in some cases) were enough to keep me interested. Interestingly, Nariko's father speaks with a typical grizzled Asian man videogame accent, while she and Kai (the crazy "little sister/catgirl character) speak with (different) English accents. Because fantasy, I guess. Kai also seems to be somewhat based on Smeagol (not Gollum) which I'm not sure is coincidental, given that Andy Serkis plays the Big Bad – and provides many of the game's best moments via sarcastically fun cutscene acting. Later on, of course, Nariko's father seems to have dropped his Asian-ish accent in favour of a more British one.
Have I mentioned Quicktime events yet? In case it's not clear, I find them really fucking annoying, and whoever thought it would be a good idea to have them incorporated into the boss fights needs to be set on fire. Likewise, Quicktime events to open gates and climb mountainsides are equally shitty. I get it that designers seem them as a way to incorporate some cool cutscenes and stuff that might not be possible via normal gameplay, but they're just not gameplay. If you must have them, just have a single X prompt and then run your "cool" animation so I can concentrate on watching it and not the screen for the next prompt when I need to press Square or Circle or Y or B or Up or whatever. I think it's heavily inspired by the original God of War in many ways, especially on the cutscene front. It's also annoying how most of the puzzles and switches and such need you to be standing on the exact specific spot, without a "close enough" area around it. I guess that's another little minor issue that would simply be better-designed nowadays.
Not such a good job with her costume design though. Unless you NEED to see your videogame heroines' panties at all times?
Kai's levels are often just awful as well. Janky controls and right-stick aim (instead of left-stick, which games across platforms have been using since the PS1 days) just makes the shooting unintuitive, and the over-reliance on that fucking sixaxis gimmick means that if you want to use the guidance (and sometimes you pretty much need to) you have to hold the controller JUST SO when firing, and then waggle it around unnaturally when guiding the arrow in. It realy feels like horrible gameplay tacked onto a new console feature just to keep the overlords happy – in this case Sony – by ticking off a marketing dot-point. Much as in the same way that every 360 game for the past few years seems to have "better with Kinect" and some token functionality tacked on. Except in this case you can't really avoid this bullshit and are forced to participate.
There's even a Kai level where the enemies hide behind barrels and crates of fireworks, just waiting for you to put one of your own arrows through one of the dozens of braziers conveniently located right next to the fucking fireworks and into one of the crates or barrels. Yes, this not-quite-Dynasty Warriors game set in Feudal Asianistan features a series of red exploding barrels that you need to shoot. Videogame tropes 101, amirite? At least the shooting-only Kai levels are okay (after awhile).
Oh yeah, the game bugged out on phase 3 of the Flying Fox boss fight for me and I had to restart it from scratch. Luckily it didn't save me in a mess-loop, so it's not entirely game-breaking, but it's a known bug from the game's early days, was never fixed and was pretty annoying to encounter.
A nice vista, spoiled by Quicktime Gameplay.
Full Disclosure: I didn't actually manage to fully complete the game. I got up to the final boss fight(s) and eventually gave up. The final boss fight is made up of three phases, where the boss becomes increasingly cheap. I'm not a fan of the design philosophy where the final boss in a game like this is wildly disproportionately difficult in comparison to everything that's come before, and to me it strikes me as a cheap way of adding to the "longevity" of the game. It felt more a test of patience than skill, to be honest, and while I won't claim by any means to be incredibly skilled at this game, it simply wasn't fun, and once again was tedious. So just now I've thought "fuck it, I don't have time to waste on this." Instead of dedicating more hours of my precious Christmas break to defeating the challenge of this game, I chose to just look up and watch the final cutscene(s) on YouTube (not that great anyway) and now I will play another, different game.
*Spoiler Alert* The game naturally has Serkis and Roach show some human emotion and therefore be ever-so-slightly sympathetic, so Nariko naturally lets them go. Because real "bad guys" never have human sides and compassion? Not to get too far off-track here, but Hitler thought he was doing good for his race, and loved children and animals – especially his German Shepherd dog, Blondi. Does that mean he should have been let go? Goering loved his family, and Saddam loved his sons. So we should forget the atrocities they committed when they were finally caught and just let them go, right? Genocide and mass-murder are okay and forgivable if you have a little cry when you're finally caught/undone? Sorry, but that particular over-used fictional trope really shits me./spoilers.
Ultimately, it's a first-gen PS3 game that wears its influences very much on it's half-naked sleeves. Dynasty Warriors, God of War and Onimusha/Devil May Cry. While I can't say I enjoyed this game, now on the eve of 2015, I can see why people liked it 8 years ago, and why it was generally considered a very good game at the time. Sadly for Heavenly Sword, it simply hasn't aged well. It's not something especially unique to games – I've been culling my CD collection over the past few months and it's incredible the amount of stuff that hasn't held up well from the 1990's to my ear. (And I was into, you know, the cool alternative music!)
Verdict: Skip it.
(Unless you want to play a game with 8-year old design ideas that haven't aged well, or are desperate to ogle a half-naked redhead while playing videogames, there are better games these days that do much the same kind of thing.)
On a related note, Ninja Theory is bringing a new game to PS4 called "Hellblade" featuring a female protagonist and a powerful mystical sword. (Not Heavenly Sword – do you see what they did there?) "Entirely unrelated" they claim – which makes sense given that Sony as the Publisher of HS own the IP, and NT are wanting to keep the ownership of HB themselves by the look of things. One thing for sure is that I'll be looking at reviews of this new game veeeery carefully before I even consider buying it.

Mini-Review: Mirror's Edge – DICE – 360
So 6 years after it came out and over three years since I asked if I should play it, having been given it as a gift. I finally started it as I've been wanting to play through a few short games before going back into longer ones. As already blogged, I did Force Unleashed II over three days, and started this today. Wow. This game is just so fucking awful. Controls are horrible, and as more than a few people have said, the game makes me feel ill. (and I don't usually get motion sickness from games). It's just.. painful and boring. The story is weaksauce even by the low standards of videogames. I don't even mind the pacifist thing, though I understand that even that becomes more challenging in the late game. But man, the parkour is bad, the game is ultra-linear, you can't see shit all too often – either because it's too dark to play in a normally-lit room or because your face is flat against a wall and the head-turn (ie mouselook with a stick) is painfully slow, and the controls are just arse. Press the button to jump and the idiot Faith just lets go of a pipe or whatever. Basically, they work when they feel like it, but they're far from smooth or refined – and don't work properly at all far too often. I haven't even gotten very far into the game. Apparently I'm about 2/3 through the second level (after the prologue) and I have no desire to play through any more of it. Playthrough times quoted on the net give it anything from 5-10 hours, and since my play times for games tends to be on the slow side with plenty of breaks, there's no way in Hell I'm going to suffer through another 7-8 hours of this crap.
There are some ok ideas here, but the game is very much less than the sum of its parts. I'm not sure if traditional first-person can even work for a parkour game, since you lose almost all of your spatial awareness and have to guess on what's around you. I know some people enjoyed this game, but then, some people enjoy …well, insert that thing that you hate but other people inexplicably like. Rather than pick on Miley or Britney, I'll use Meetings. What a fucking waste of time, space and potential.
Now I've got to figure out what to do with the disc. I doubt I could even successfully give it away, but maybe that's the answer? Put it in the box of "take it" software that I keep for my friends when I cull. And hope they don't read this first…
Verdict: Avoid.
Now I need to find a couple of other short games that are worth my time to play. Like FUII they don't have to be the greatest games ever, but ideally they have to have a few redeeming features and be a bit of fun. I'm thinking next up might be Heavenly Sword on PS3. I really need to cleanse my palette after this one. If anyone has suggestions for worthwhile short games (preferably on console at the moment), feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. I'm not likely to run out to buy anything that's not on Steam Sale, but I have a significant backlog with a lot of different stuff in it.

Falling Water: Ambergris – The Boy (Review)
It now seems that the common denominator in all the dreams is the boy. Falling Water "Ambergris" reveals just why Bill is fascinated by dreams and sharing them. We also learn that Isla, who seems to like smoking crack cocaine, can read minds.
As the episode progresses, Burton, who is apparently not getting much sleep, learns that the land deal is actually worthless. He realizes that the mineral rights offer is a front for Tess' boy. He also finds out that Isla can see Olivia, aka the woman in red.
Taka meets with Bowen and Sabine asks him if he is willing to continue their arrangement. He is also told that Kumiko, his mother, is lost in her own dreamworld.
Tess enters into Bill's dream ("one time.") and they run into the faceless men. She runs off and Bill goes back into the building to confront the creatures.
Bowen meets with Charlotte and agrees to let her see the boy. In this sequence he is much younger, but clearly, this is the same youngster; Tess' son.
Out of the three protagonists, Tess and Burton are both suffering from their dreams. Taka is seemingly unaffected by his interaction with the dream world. Tess tells Bill that she feels tired and out of sorts. Burton does not admit it but he is suffering similar symptoms.
(Although his state of distress does not affect his ability to exercise.)
Bill tells Tess about his twin sister slipping into his dreams when he was a boy. She also learns that Bill's sister died when she was 16. Burton quits the company he is working for and Isla comes to visit him.
Olivia, it seems, is being held prisoner and in Burton's dreams she demands that he rescues her. By the end of the episode she is revealed to be on a filthy floor, tied up and and motionless.
The dreams of each person in this trio continue to merge with reality. Burton, however, seems to have more blending than the other two. His life appears to be one long interwoven dream. Isla, at one point, tells Burton that this all a test to see how powerful his dreams are.
They are, she tells him, very powerful.
Andy's body is found in the dumpster. Taka is called in for his "international" connections. Andy was from Iceland and he was supposed to be in prison for murder.
Taka meets with Bill to ask about the dead man. As he is leaving, Taka sees Tess. They both recognize each other as they have been sharing dreams.
Apart from Tess' son appearing in all of their dreams there appears to be another constant, a teddy bear, wearing a red sweater, is another item that shows up in all their dreams. Those green sneakers also appear to be making appearances in each ones dreams.
In the dream that Tess shares with Bill, they are initially on a school bus. Bill tells her that he has to sit with his sister. The back of a girl's head can be seen a few rows forward in the bus. Bill tries repeatedly to sit with her but cannot.
They leave the bus and enter a house where a piece of art by Taka's mother; Kumiko, sits in the middle of a small room. This artwork also appears to the others. Taka sees it, as part of a book asking about '80's artists who have disappeared.
It is Burton who has the weirdest experiences this week. Although he did have some odd dream sequences in the previous episode, this week his dreams were so well merged that everything the head of security did seemed like a dream.
When Burton takes Isla to get her fix, she vanishes out of the backseat of the car they are in. Before she does, however, she notices Olivia and says that the dream woman is beautiful. Burton gets out of the car to talk to her and Isla is gone.
Later she turns up in Burton's apartment.
Investigating Andy's death, Taka goes to the airport lost and found section and looks in the dead man's suitcase. Inside the small bag are hundreds, if not thousands, of those blue handbills. Each one has a picture of Tess' boy and the words "His name is…"
Falling Water continues to feel like a murky version of either Inception or Dreamscape. In the meeting between Burton and H. Robert Arnot, the latter talks of influencing someone's dreams.
Each episode of this quirky series needs to be watched a number of times to catch all the nuances and messages on offer. It is, despite being quite addictive, hard to follow at times.
Taka.
It is interesting to note that of all the dreamers, it is the tough nut; Burton, who is suffering the most. Taka is too focused on searching for clues to be too affected.
There are so many questions that need answers. Who is studying Burton's dreams and why? Why is Tess' son's age different to different people? And finally, what is Kumiko's connection to all this?
Falling Water airs Thursdays on USA. Check this one out if weird and quirky is your cup of tea.

Falling Water: Castles Made of Sand – Green (Recap/Review)
In Falling Water "Castles Made of Sand" the dreams continue to merge with not only the three protagonists but with the real world. Green, for example, appears in the dreams and real life. Taka notes that all the suicides wore green trainers (sneakers) as does Alice when the detective chases her in the woods.
Green is the colour of the tennis ball that Woody is bouncing to the boy (Tess's son.) and later in the episode when Burton opens the suitcase on the bed, it is full of green tennis balls. He bounces one as he talks to Olivia.
Like last week's episode, had a common theme of the Belgian businessman, who was the Belgian Ambassador in the dreams. This week it is the colour green and those tennis shoes. There are other things the dreams have in common however. Like "The Boy" who randomly appears in the various dreams.
The dreams in "Castles Made of Sand" have altered from the previous dreams. Tess dreams of dancing with Javier Mendoza who is dying. Taka has a dream that literally comes true and Burton learns he can affect his dreams, although it does take him a while.
At the start of the episode, Andy is quickly shaving off his beard when Anna Marie shows up. They talk for a moment and Anna drops her bomb, the boy, Tess' son, is missing.
Tess goes to visit Javier Mendoza and shares a dream with him. In the dream she gives him the drachma referenced in their conversation. They embrace and start dancing slowly.
A faceless man comes up behind Tess and drags her away from Javier. She fights with the thing and plunges a pick axe into its chest. Later in the episode the missing Andy is found in a dumpster with a bloody wound in his chest. He is wearing the same outfit as the faceless man in Tess' dream.
In another dream, Tess runs into Levon who is selling forget-me-nots in the restroom. He grabs her and gets really quite vicious with her. She manages to get away.
Taka speaks with Alice, the girl with the green sneakers, and her psychiatrist. He learns very little but what she does pass on is disturbing. Some unsettling things emerge during the Q&A.
The detective mentions a detail from another dream, where the Belgian ambassador is suffocated with a bag over his head. Alice's eyes widen in recognition. Later she mentions overweight politicians eating ice cream, which is what the man was doing in Taka's dream.
After the session, which Sabine sat in on, Taka dreams of psychiatrist.
He is watching Sabine in some sort of peep show set up. She is on the other side of a window and takes her clothes off, except for her high heels and underwear. She also leaves her blouse on, but unbuttoned.
She moves to the bed, which puts her almost out of Taka's site line, removes her panties and, taking out a vibrator, begins to masturbate. She asks if he can see her and not to move.
After Taka wakes up, he stops in a cafe to have some cake and a cup of coffee. He looks up and sees Sabine ordering some parties from the coffee house. The two talk and Taka winds up having a date with her.
At the conclusion of their night out, Sabine invites Taka in. She has him stop at the stairs leading to her bedroom and stop. He can see her through the bannister.
She has chair placed in front to a peep show in her bedroom. She removes her knickers and asks if he can see, mirroring what happened in his dream. Then, just as she did in the dream, Sabine turns on a vibrator and begins to masturbate to orgasm.
Disturbingly, as Sabine climaxes, Taka's mother screams out.
Burton has now realized that he is dreaming and that he can control it to a degree. The woman in red, Olivia also appears to realize that he is dreaming. Burton dreams the same dream three separate times and each one ends differently.
After acknowledging that it is indeed a dream Burton turns and opens the suitcase on the bed. It is full of green tennis balls. He begins bouncing a ball and the rhythmic sound confuses Olivia. She then disappears.
He then spies a blond woman watching everything. Burton chases her down through steam filled corridors and eventually catches up to the woman.
The merging of the dreams are becoming more frequent. So too are the "leaking" of each person's dream into real life. Taka and Sabine's masturbating while he watches. Burton mentioning the restaurant Marcello's and Woody's apparent recognition of the place and his tossing a green tennis ball to Burton as he leaves.
There is Eddie in that dumpster bleeding from a chest wound. Clearly he was the faceless man in Tess's dream. And finally, there is the blonde woman who was watching Burton and Olivia in his dream. In real life, she turns up as a prospective buyer of whatever the Belgian is selling.
As usual, this episode keeps switching so quickly and effortlessly between the dream sequences and reality that it is hard to distinguish the two. The character who orchestrates the experiments that Tess takes part in was a background presence this week.
Bill Boerg appears in the sequence where Tess dreams of the faceless man the first time. He is also there when she wakes up, hours after the rest of the test subjects awakened and left.
Show creators Blake Masters and Henry Bromell have managed to come up with a formula that is oddly addictive. Despite, or perhaps because of, the difficulty in keeping what is real and a dream separated, Falling Water is nigh on impossible to stop watching.
So many questions are waiting to be answered and more keep appearing with each new episode.
Falling Water airs Thursdays on USA. Tune in and get caught up in this world of merged dreams, mass suicide and Topeka.

Falling Water: Episode 3, Monsters Most Familiar (Review)
Falling Water sees the three main protagonists becoming aware of their dream sharing. "Monsters Most Familiar" deals with the question of why we build our own boogeymen. It also continues the blending of dreams with reality.
Taka still sees his comatose mother everywhere while searching for answers to the mass suicide he discovered. Those green tennis shoes (trainers) are cropping up everywhere, even in the shared dreams.
Perhaps more importantly the imagery in the shared dreams are also cropping up in the real world. The huge clear bowl of vanilla ice cream been served to the Belgian Ambassador for instance.
Firstly, the waiter, Woody, tells Taka that the desert of for the ambassador. Secondly, the mound of ice cream with what appears to be chocolate added, is an obvious allusion to the man's real life drug overdose. Even more to the point is that girl Taka follows into the bar and restaurant takes a white plastic bag and uses it to suffocate the ambassador in the dream.
In the bar Burton hears Woody tell the bartender, after ordering pretzels, that he is allergic to peanuts and "froths at the mouth like a rabid dog." Later, on the corporate plane, Woody repeats the line in real life, verbatim.
Clearly the bar is an interchange or bridging point in the in the dream. Burton has been dreaming of the place for some time. Now we have Tess and Taka entering into Burton's dream. It must be his as Burton meets his dream lover here at the start of the series.
Apart from the merging of each person's dream world into a shared world of dreams, each individual has something odd and off-kilter about their lives. Burton has a love affair with a woman who only exists, it seems, in his dreams.
Burton's job is also quite odd, working security for a firm that specializes in the weird and wonderful.
Tess grew up being psychoanalyzed to the nth degree and finally had a nervous breakdown. Tess was hospitalized for an extended period of time and she does not get along with her sister. She and her mother also have an odd relationship.
Taka sees his comatose mother everywhere but she is clearly only in his mind. The cop does see the fliers with a picture of Tess' son and the words "His name is…" written underneath. (Later Burton sees the same phrase on the back of a business card.)
The detective follows the green sneaker girl to a clearing in the woods where she and other cult followers throw the ashes of the 12 dead people in the air. Following a woman who leaves the group and enters into the woods, he sees his mother again.
Later the woman calls Taka and reveals that she knows he saw his mother in the woods.
Everything about this series is quirky and disjointed. Boerg and his team experiments are, it seems, bleeding over into everyone else's dreams. Taka and Burton are having their dreams merge and now Tess has entered the picture.
Both Burton and Tess have something in common with their dreams. Burton sees his dream lover taken away. It is disturbing and it upsets him. Tess, in her most recent dream, has a faceless man chasing her.
She is attempting to find two years worth of records that she has no recollection of. Taka wants to solve his suicide mystery and Burton wants to know who the woman is in his dreams.
Falling Water is fascinating. Despite being a little confusing with all the dreams and dreamlike reality it is an addictive experience. Watching each episode unveil a reality versus the dream state it is difficult not to get wrapped up with each scene as presented.
Every single event in this new series has an unreal feel to it. Series creators Blake Masters and Henry Bromell have are presenting what feels like a dream within a dream times three.
Falling Water airs Thursdays on USA. Tune in and try to follow this odd series. Be prepared to re-watch episodes to find the connections. Like the Belgian ambassador in tonight's episode there are more ties between the three protagonists.

Falling Water: Calling the Vasty Deep – Purity of the Data (Review)
The second episode of Falling Water "Calling the Vasty Deep" continues the shared dream storyline. Not just with the group Tess has joined in Bill Boerg's organization but with Taka and Burton as well. The dreams continue to bleed into real life and the little blond boy, Tess' son, appears to the players outside of their dream state.
Burton continues to dream of the restaurant and the bartender (Hammond) reacts to Burton talking about his date being kidnapped. "No, that was a dream, this, is a dream," the bartender says.
Tess continues to search for her son with Bill's help and she finds a charge of $10 in a hospital, for the epidural, but the place has no records for her there. Taka takes evidence from the crime scene where the 12 people killed themselves and brings it home.
He buys an album by the artist who drew the picture of the boy. At home Taka shoves his feet into the green trainers and turns on the vinyl record. The music to the song sounds odd, like it is being played backwards and it is oddly catching.
He dreams about the blonde boy and seeing his mother attacking an art piece. When he wakes, Taka opens the album and sees his mother on the middle cover art. He visits her and spies a girl in green trainers (sneakers). He follows her but is told to leave the room.
Tess dreams with the group for Bill but only connect with Levon in the dream. The connect outside of the experiment as well although they are not supposed to "for the purity of the data." Later Bill catches Tess leaving Levon's place but does not kick her out of the group.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to spot the dream sequences. Sometimes is is easy, as when the water drops fall up or when movements are clearly backward. (There is short scene where Burton caresses a woman's hair and the move is actually filmed in reverse. It jars and feels out of place.)
The emphasis in this episode was on water. Burton walks through water that is spreading across the bar floor. Tess and Levon play in water on the roof and she walks through patches of the stuff later on.
The sharing of dreams continues. When Tess' son runs away from the faceless men in the dream, he ends up in Taka's dream. All the scenes feel dreamlike, with the exception of Bill and Tess' encounter toward the end of the episode.
Taka and Burton both seem to be constantly in some sort of dream state. The detective moves through his dreams and Burton mainly watches everything happening in his.
Tess' son moves through both worlds easily, the dream state and the waking one. Those blue sheets of paper with his face on and the phrase "his name is" is in both places.
Falling Water continues the weird disjointed feeling associated with some dreams and it is still difficult to tell when things are real. The scene where Levon comes to pound on Tess' door was one such segment.
As he beats on the door to be let in, Tess flings open the door only to find no-one on the other side. This scene, like most in the episode feels like a dream that has intruded into the real wold
Falling Water airs Wednesdays on USA. Tune in and learn the significance of the boy in the series and see if they can break him out .

'Queen of the South' Season One Finale: Cicatriz – Scar (Review)
After last week's episode, where Brenda stupidly brought up the subject of her son, "Cicatriz" moves the future Queen of the South closer to her evolution from chrysalis to butterfly. The season finale threw many things into the mix, including the shocking revelation that Guero is still alive.
He is also, apparently, either an undercover agent for the DEA or he has turned into an informant for the US agency.
Theresa is questioned by her old would-be rapist, Gato, who now has a huge scar on this face after she shot him. Camila gathers her new employees for a meeting. Epifanio is now the Governor and after speaking with Mendoza, threatens action against his wife for stealing his men.
Gato intends on taking up where he left off and Theresa takes him out permanently this time. Pote (Hemky Madera) , who tried to stop Gato (James Martinez) from raping Theresa the first time becomes a reluctant ally.
Epifanio uses his newly acquired military forces to attack Camila's new business associates, killing one and capturing another. The men's "families" and soldiers are murdered as retaliation for Camila breaking away from him.
Theresa forces Pote to drive her to get Brenda from El Limpiador. She calls Camila after learning about Epifanio's move against her. Mendoza tells Mrs. Vargas to meet her at the Higueras farm. After the call Pote decides to help Theresa.
James comes to grab Camila and get her out of Mexico. Instead he goes with her to meet Theresa at the farm. Isabella and Camila have a big falling out and the girl is sent back to Epifanio.
Cesar, who was marked for death, manages to kill his guard and escape.
At the farm, Pote helps Theresa overpower the men guarding Brenda. She finds her friend tied up in the garage, dead. El Limpiador returns to find his men dead and Theresa shoots him to death. She then buries Brenda.
Epifanio murders Xander, one of his former head's that he had kidnapped, in the back of his car just before a press conference. He tells his campaign manager that he needs a new tie.
Camila arrives with James. The two women talk and Theresa reveals that she no longer works for Camila and that she has a list of demands. As the two women talk someone in a ghillie suit is taking their picture.
At an office in the US, a DEA agent lays down the picture of Theresa and asks, "who is she?" The person looking at the photograph is Mendoza' former boyfriend Guero.
The season finale of Queen of the South increased Theresa's body count significantly. She now has three notches on her gun and a new right hand man in Pote.
Mendoza has made her move, with the aid of Guero's book and a pistol, and will clearly start working with Camila instead of for her. Epifanio has declared war on his wife and will not be very pleased to learn that Theresa has escaped again.
It will be interesting to see if Camila's prediction about Cesar, aka Batman comes true. Will her husband turn on his right hand man and sacrifice him?
The biggest shocker in the finale was Guero sitting in an office alive and not dead.
Brenda's death, while upsetting, was pretty much on the cards from the first episode. The woman may have had a certain amount of business smarts and cunning, but she also suffered from an innate naivety that got her killed in the end.
Theresa is now set to begin her rise as the new queen of the Dallas cartel and next season should show a significantly different Mendoza. Braga was good as the lead character and the rest of the cast managed to shine as well.
Kudos to the show's creators M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller for a splendid adaptation of the telenovela original. Queen of the South will return in 2017.

Q: Updating values in nested dictionary I have created nested dictionary as below with empty values to updated them later.

{'cat_a': {'sub_1': 'hi cat_a', 'sub_2': 1}, 'cat_b': {'sub_1': 'hi cat_b', 'sub_2': 2}}

Where's issue & how to fix?

A: As the doc states, it puts the value, here sub_ to each key, each key point to the same and unique dict, so the second loop iteration overwrite the first

All of the values refer to just a single instance, so it generally doesn't make sense for value to be a mutable object

To build it properly, use a dict-comprehension and copy the sub_ dict
categ_list = ['cat_a', 'cat_b']
sub_ = {'sub_1': '', 'sub_2': ''}
m_dict = {k: sub_.copy() for k in categ_list}

A: As mentioned in the comments, the value is effectively copy. So you need to make different variables. One hacky way is to use json module
import json

categ_list = ['cat_a','cat_b']
sub_ = {'sub_1': '', 'sub_2': ''}
m_dict = dict.fromkeys(categ_list, sub_)

# here is the hack
m_dict = json.loads(json.dumps(m_dict))

i =0
for cat_ in categ_list:
    i +=1
    m_dict[cat_]['sub_1'] = 'hi ' + cat_
    m_dict[cat_]['sub_2'] = i

print(m_dict)

{'cat_a': {'sub_1': 'hi cat_a', 'sub_2': 1}, 'cat_b': {'sub_1': 'hi cat_b', 'sub_2': 2}}

NOTE: Preferred way is the answer by azro.


Madonna's MDNA tour has gotten plenty of ink for what the Queen of Pop has done onstage.
The LA Times has now checked in with Team Madonna to gather some facts about what has gone into the show, which reportedly could become one of the top 10 biggest tours of all time.
2.1 million fans are expected to have seen the show by the time it wraps in South America.
72,000 fans saw Madonna's sold-out show in Quebec, the largest attendance of the entire tour.
16,630 miles of road were traveled during the U.S. leg alone.
700 wardrobe pieces are required for all the performers onstage.
410 bottles of aspirin have been used, so far, by the 130-person crew.
374 is the weight, in tons, of Madonna's massive stage.
116 minutes of approximate stage time for the Material Girl, unless she adds "Holiday" to the night's setlist.

Q: RegEx to replace to given date with the current date I have deserialized json to string variable where i wanted to update below variable to current date in all occurrence
"buyDate":"2019-04-09T13:21:00.866Z",
String result = content.replaceAll("(\"buyDate\":\"(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}\\.*$)\")", "\"buyDate\":" + LocalDate.now().toString() + "\"");

but above logic is failing. Can someone please suggest solution.

A: I would recommend using parsers for parsing and amending dynamic JSON data. However, if the JSON is static and you want to achieve your result using regex; then your regex is very correct(although it can be compacted. See in answer).  You just need to use LocalDateTime instance instead of LocalDate instance. Something like;
// Sample code. Please manipulate according to your requirements.
import java.time.*;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Sample test String
        String content = "\"buyDate\":\"2019-04-09T13:21:00.866Z\"";
       // String result = content.replaceAll("(\"buyDate\":\"(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}.*)\")", "\"buyDate\":\""
        //+ LocalDateTime.now().toString() + "Z\"");
// COMPACTED REGEX
        String result = content.replaceAll("(\"buyDate\":\".*?\"", "\"buyDate\":\""
        + LocalDateTime.now().toString() + "Z\"");
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}
// Outputs: "buyDate":"2020-06-16T09:33:38.276Z" a.t. online IDE's local time.

You can find the sample run of the above code in here.

If you want to replace only date value leaving time and zero-hour format as it is(although I don't see any practical reason to do so); then you could try this:
import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LocalDate dt = LocalDate.now();
        final String regex = "\"buyDate\":\"(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2})T";
        final String string = "\"buyDate\":\"2019-04-09T13:21:00.866Z\"";
        DateTimeFormatter formatDateToday=DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("YYYY-MM-dd");
        final String subst = "\"buyDate\":\""+ dt.format(formatDateToday) +"T";

        final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.MULTILINE);
        final Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);

        // The substituted value will be contained in the result variable
        final String result = matcher.replaceAll(subst);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

*

*I used DateTimeFormatter class for formatting the Date.

*I used Pattern and Matcher class to match only the dates in the given JSON string.

You can find the sample run of the above code in here.

A: Why is there a $ and then its followed by \" in the regex?
This will suffice "(\"buyDate\":\"(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}.*)\")".
Your final code will be like
String result = content.replaceAll("(\"buyDate\":\"(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}.*)\")", "\"buyDate\":" + LocalDate.now().toString() + "\"");

You should use java.time package classes for cleaner manipulation.

"Fate" redirects here. For other uses, see Fate (disambiguation).
Destiny or fate refers to a predetermined course of events.[1] It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos.

Different concepts of destiny and fate
Destiny is seen as the final outcome, independently of the events that precede, which are inevitable and unchangeable per themselves, but as a sequence, could be arranged and rearranged in order to arrive to the final outcome.
There is the often confusing argument that individuals can choose their own destiny by selecting different "paths" throughout their life, even though the different courses of action the individuals take nonetheless lead to a very predetermined destiny.
To escape the contradiction (the incompatibility of philosophical terminology) of this argument and fully support the concept of destiny, most believe it necessary to declare and accept this notion of choice (free will) as illusion. Another belief, known as Micaic Destiny, states that free will and destiny can coincide in harmony. This argument states that we all make only one unchangeable choice every moment. Simply because a certain choice will inevitably be made does NOT mean that we do not make our own decisions. This belief assumes that we have no power to accurately and precisely predict the future.
Destiny has been envisaged as fore-ordained by the Divine (for example, the Protestant concept of predestination) or unfolding through the exertions of human will, for example, in the American concept of Manifest Destiny: "By the 1850s it was generally believed in the United States that a superior American race was destined to shape the destiny of much of the world."[2] The explicit racialism had developed from a 17th-century vision of Puritan New World destiny as a "chosen people" whose destiny it was to establish a "New Jerusalem".[3]
A sense of destiny in its oldest human sense still in a soldier's fatalistic image of the "bullet that has your name on it", or "the moment when your number comes up", or the flowering of a romance between lovers who are "meant to be" together. In Greek mythology, the human sense that there must be a hidden purpose in the random choices of the lottery governs the selection of Theseus[citation needed] to be among the youths to be sacrificed to the Minotaur.
Destiny in literature and popular culture
Many Greek legends and tales teach the futility of trying to outmaneuver an inexorable fate that has been correctly predicted. This form of irony is important in Greek tragedy, as it is in Oedipus Rex and in the Duque de Rivas' play that Verdi transformed into La Forza del Destino ("The Force of Destiny") or Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey, or in Macbeth's uncannily-derived knowledge of his own destiny, which in spite of all his actions does not preclude a horrible fate.
This aspect is succinctly told by W. Somerset Maugham from an Arab tale:
Death There was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, "Master, just now when I was in the market-place I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me." The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, "Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?" "That was not a threatening gesture," I said, "it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.[4]
A far older version forms part of the Babylonian Talmud.
Other notable examples include Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, in which Tess is destined to the miserable death that she is confronted with at the end of the novel; Samuel Beckett's Endgame; the popular short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs.
Destiny is a recurring theme in the literature of Hermann Hesse (1877–1962), including Siddharta (1922) and his magnum opus, Das Glasperlenspiel, also published as The Glass Bead Game (1943). The common theme of these works involves a protagonist who cannot escape a destiny if their fate has been sealed, however hard they try. Destiny is also an important plot point in the hit TV shows Lost, Heroes and Supernatural, as well a common theme in the Roswell TV series. Destiny is a recurring theme in the video-game franchise Kingdom Hearts, with Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep having its story based around the concept of Destiny, and the tagline for the game stating "Destiny is never left to chance."
In the TV series Charmed, about the lives of three sister witches known as the Charmed Ones who take a fourth witch under their tutelage, destiny is inescapable and is protected by the many Angels of Destiny. Destiny is seen as part of the "Grand Design", which is the intended nature of the universe, just as death is, in order to make people live, and Pandora's Box is, to tempt.
Destiny plays a large role in the overall story arc of the re-imagined television series Battlestar Galactica, in which events and characters are guided along by supernatural elements with a planned outcome, often with a cyclical theme of events transpiring again and again in different variations. The most notable example of this is in the Virtual Six character who appears to Gaius Baltar through out the series, claiming to be a messenger from God and directing Gauis' actions and influencing his decisions.
Divination of destiny
Some believe that one's destiny may be ascertained by divination or proclaimed as the prophecy of a prophet or of a sibyl. In the belief systems of many cultures, one's destiny can only be learned about through a shaman, babalawo, saint or seer.
In the Shang dynasty, oracle bones and shells were consulted on questions of ritual and religion, leading to the earliest form.
Destiny versus fate
Although the words are used interchangeably in many cases, fate and destiny can be distinguished. It depends on how narrow or broad the definitions are. Broadly speaking, fate is individual's destiny. More accurate, traditional usage defines fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events (Greek definition). Fate defines events as ordered or "inevitable" and unavoidable. Destiny is used with regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out; and that same sense of Destination, projected into the future to become the flow of events as they will work themselves out. In other words, fate relates to events of the Future and present of an individual and in cases in literature unalterable, whereas destiny relates to the probable future. Note . This can be seen in our common language usage, e.g. "His calling, his Fate is to be a doctor." Will he definitely be a doctor? Well, it may or not be his destiny or his Ultimate fate if term used interchangeable.
Classical and European mythology features three goddesses dispensing fate, the "Fates" known as Moirae in Greek mythology, as Parcae in Roman mythology, and as Norns in Norse mythology; they determine the events of the world through the mystic spinning of threads that represent individual human Fates.
One word derivative of "fate" is "fatality", another "fatalism". Fate implies no choice, and ends fatally, with a death. Fate is an outcome determined by an outside agency acting upon a person or entity; but with destiny the entity is participating in achieving an outcome that is directly related to itself. Participation happens willfully.
Used with reference to the past, "destiny" and "fate" are both more interchangeable, both imply "one's lot" or fortunes, and include the sum of events leading up to a currently achieved outcome (e.g. "it was her destiny to be leader" and "it was her fate to be leader").
Destiny and "fortune"
In Hellenistic civilization, the chaotic and unforeseeable turns of chance gave increasing prominence to a previously less notable goddess, Tyche, who embodied the good fortune of a city and all whose lives depended on its security and prosperity, two good qualities of life that appeared to be out of human reach. The Roman image of Fortuna, with the wheel she blindly turned, was retained by Christian writers, revived strongly in the Renaissance and survives in some forms today.[5]
Destiny and philosophy
In daily language destiny and fate are synonymous, but with regards to 20th century philosophy the words gained inherently different meanings.
For Arthur Schopenhauer destiny was just a manifestation of the Will to Live. Will to Live is for him the main aspect of the living. The animal cannot be aware of the Will, but men can at least see life through its perspective, though it is the primary and basic desire. But this fact is a pure irrationality and then, for Schopenhauer, human desire is equally futile, illogical, directionless, and, by extension, so is all human action. Therefore, the Will to Live can be at the same time living fate and choice of overrunning the fate same, by means of the Art, of the Morality and of the Ascesis.
For Nietzsche destiny keeps the form of Amor fati (Love of Fate) through the important element of Nietzsche's philosophy, the "will to power" (der Wille zur Macht), the basis of human behavior, influenced by the Will to Live of Schopenhauer. But this concept may have even other senses, although he, in various places, saw the Will to power as a strong element for adaptation or survival in a better way.[6] In its later forms Nietzsche's concept of the will to power applies to all living things, suggesting that adaptation and the struggle to survive is a secondary drive in the evolution of animals, less important than the desire to expand one's power. Nietzsche eventually took this concept further still, and transformed the idea of matter as centers of force into matter as centers of will to power as mankind's destiny to face with amor fati.
The expression Amor fati is used repeatedly by Nietzsche as acceptation-choice of the fate, but in such way it becomes even another thing, precisely a "choice" destiny. We find that in § 276 of The Gay Science, where he wrote:
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.
Quote from "Why I Am So Clever" in Ecce Homo, section 10[7]:
My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendaciousness in the face of what is necessary—but love it.
