Thursday, Sept. 13 - 7:30 pm Cedar Lee Theatre
Pre-film Party Cedar Lee Pub & Grill
" There are places you go and once is enough. Then there's Napoli." John Turturro
"Passione" combines sensual suavity with raw emotion, mixes heartbreak with ecstasy."
New York Times: "Dripping with sensuality and passion, and beautifully photographed, the brilliant actor John Turturro celebrates Naples, a city intensely alive with music and one of the most colorful cities in Italy. Dynamic singing and dancing, street scenes and mini dramas bring the Neopolitan soul to life."
Turturro describes Passione as "a musical adventure that comes directly out of the people and the volcanic land they inhabit. Get ready for dancing in the cobbled streets of Naples-it will be all you can do to keep yourself from leaping out of your seats to dance!
Director John Turturro, starring Mina, Massimo Ranieri, Lina Sastri, Spakka-Neapolis 55, Pino Daniele, M'barka Ben Taleb, Peppe Barra.

Director Ferzan Ozpetek's delightful comedy nominated for Italy's Oscar, the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor features the eclectic, conservative Cantone family who owns a pasta factory in Southern Italy whose family members include a rebellious grandmother, a loving, but suffocating mother, a father with unrealistically high expectatons for his children, and an eccentric Aunt-all of whom mesh into a humorous, touching story.
At a dinner where his parents, Vincenzo and Stefania plan on turning over the factory to their two sons, younger son Tommaso also has his important news: he decides to tell his very conservative family the truth about himself. He confides his secret to his brother Antonio. But before he can tell his family his startling news, Antonio drops his own bombshell on the family resulting in his father disowning him and becoming ill. Tommaso feels he has no choice but to keep quiet and run the factory until his father recuperates.
Tommaso's grandmother who is known as the "loose cannon" -has a secret of her own-may just end of having a say what happens in the family.
Directed by Ferzan Ozpetek, starring Riccardo Scamarcio, Nicole Grimaudo, Alessandro Preziosi, Dario Bandiera, Ennio Fantastichini, Lunetta Savino, Elena Sofia Ricci

While on a romantic stroll in the back of the estate where he works, Sonia and Guido are tied up by masked robbers who drive two large trucks through the gates and ransack the place of its art treasures. From here the movie never lets up.
New York Times: "Only a vigilant detective could piece together the best movie of its kind since the 2006 film "Tell No One" and leaves you wishing for an extra 20 minutes of mind games; you don't want it to end."

Question #1134 posted on 10/27/2003 4:02 a.m.
I congratulate the board on finally locking things in and putting together a very consistent month. I'm guessing this will continue, yes? However, I asked a question back in September (it was about this BYU student karate movie) that has not been answered. Dissapointing, only because I have come to respect the quality of the board. I even asked a question as to whether my first question would be answered and I was affirmed that it would be. The Second Coming hasn't come yet, so there is still time.
In the general scheme of things, yes all questions are answered. But if you haven't seen it by now, it might have been lost when we moved to our new system. So we'd recommend resubmitting your question. And yes we'll have it answered in a timely manner.

Reparations To African Americans, Native Americans, and Mexican Americans.
Thread starter Simba
Along the coast of South Carolina.
Considering how much the United States spends on military adventures and foreign aid overseas, if we are in such a spending mood, should we not look once again at rectifying errors in our own land.
Reparations should be paid to American Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and African Americans.
After all, *winks* it is the christian thing to do. Is it not?

It really shows how independent and centrist we are here, doesn't it.
Surely, there must be one African-American, Mexican-American, or Native American in this forum.
Hmmm, guess that says alot.

Expand it to include the Irish and the Italians and I'm sold.
Come to think of it, we should include the Germans and Japanese as well.
Also all of the illegal immigrants who we've taken advantage of.
Should probably include women as well, they were treated pretty badly for a long time.
Might want to include all non-monied landholders, they got screwed back in the day.
I've got it! Let's just find Nathanial J. Waspington IV, ask him to write everyone in the country a check for $10k and call it a day.
Excuse me? How does my refusal to pay reparations for something I, nor anyone alive today, was ever involved in exclude me from being independent or centrist?
There is zero national interest in paying reparations to people who have never suffered the indignity those reparations would be intended to balm.
Because you enjoy the priviledge and benefits of that time to date. Whereas, they still don't.
If you live in California, you are living on someone elses land that we took. It doesn't matter if you were there at the time or not. Our nation uses the same excuses, and even less, to go to war all the time.
Every single person on this planet is living on land that was taken from someone else.
RightinNYC said:
All the more reason to start rubbing elbows, sharing spit, and realizing, we are leaving our children to face a whole lot of hate unless we change soon. Afterall. We are fast becoming the minority in our lifetime.
Then again, that's probably why all them happenings took place to begin with. Takes some energy to think forward.
*winks*
Whooooooo-Ah!
And the best way to rub elbows and share spit is to write checks from the US treasury to every member of an ethnic group that you think has been harmed?
TurtleDude
warrior of the wetlands
you are making a racist assumption that someone would buy into such bovine excrement due to their race
Ha. Not who I think has been harmed. So long as you and I hold the guns (e.g. peeps in suits and uniforms that hold guns for us), it will be hard for half of our population to stand up and speak for themselves.
Afterall. Civil rights was granted not only because blacks stood up, but enough whites stood with them.
Same goes here.
Soon, within twenty years, they will out-number us, and we will be begging for understanding from a very bad position.
Might well try rectifying now before that time comes.
But, thats too forward thinking for alot of folks. Reason we are in this mess to begin with.
Good point. The white man in charge of our guns in the white house is definitely doing all he can to oppress the black man.
So your theory is that blacks, hispanics, and native americans are such terrible people that as soon as they outnumber the whites, they're going to do everything they can to punish them?
Why don't we find and pay homage to all the animals which used to inhabit the earth before the humans took it over? You know, let them eat us for a couple of hundred thousand years. Only fair, right? Makes up for the great globe-spanning civilizations we've built.
In regards to CA and the Native Americans, we took the land from them. We live on it now, and use it for a lot more good than the natives ever did. Hence, we deserve the land more.
How about no.
Or better, hell no?
No, says alot about you and your misguided view of reality.
There are no African, Mexican or Native - "Americans".
There are American's, and there are people that want to be other then American's and put a stupid hyphenation to make them feel special.
They don't deserve a single penny, they ain't gonna get a single penny, and instead of wasting the worlds time with crying about real or imagined crimes hundreds of years ago... how about we worry about moving forward and prospering now?
Wait!!! I know. That would require people actually... working.
I enjoy living and working in a society that values one's ability to succeed exponentially. And guess what? So do poor little brown people you seem to think that handing a few dollars to will suddenly forget history.
And guess what? So do Texans and Canadians and Mexicans and Africans and...well, pretty much everyone on earth today.
So my answer is still "Fat Chance".
Seeing how the wronged individuals and the individuals who wronged them are no longer alive the answer is going to have to be hell no.
I am glad my forefathers and ancestors(if any of my ancestors were actually rich enough to own slaves) bought and brought slaves out of Africa, I am glad my forefathers ancestors wiped out most of the native Americans and I am glad my ancestors bought various territories or won them in war. Because without all those things I would not be here, my family and friends would not be here and the USA would not be the country it is today without those things.
How is stealing from one group of people and giving it to another group who did nothing to earn it a christian thing to do? You are aware Jesus said not to steal.Matthew 19:18
MyOwnDrum
Get offline and get an education, brother...
One well known Black writer noted he was glad one group of AFricans sold his african ancestors into slavery because he know had a PhD in America and was a millionaire--if he had still been in some west african poophole his standard of living and freedom would have been much much lower
my ancestors were mostly in New York but one was a pro slavery union officer. he also was the first Union officer to have his command attacked by the rebels. He was a hero of the North. Other ancestors lost their lives in the civil war. I think our family's debt was paid long ago
What a repulsive sentiment.
If that is in fact the case, then you should not be here, because those things are reprehensible and should never have happened.

reality is a bitch


When my daughter was born, I made a promise to myself to stay away from the parenting books and blogs so that I would be sure I was using my intuition to raise my child and not somebody else's ideals. I know my tendency to be dogmatic and follow rules to an extreme level.
I'm proud to say I (pretty much) followed this "no-rules" rule for the first year of Charley's life. I truly believed that this time was about loving and caring for my baby, first and foremost. I did that. And I did that well.
Those last three really spoke to me. They're all a bit crunchy because, let's face it, I encapsulated my placenta, I breastfed until Charley was 18 months old, and the girl drinks homemade bone broth out of a sippy cup. I'm crunchy. And if you're more of a traditionalist, it's totally cool. Stick around and maybe you'll learn something or skip these posts all together.
Though different, all three of these philosophies have one thing in common: respect for the child. Through them, I've learnd the best thing I can do for my daughter is to treat her like a human being. Try to understand where she's coming from, what she's going through. Get down to her level as much as I can. But still remember that I am the authority. And she needs me to be that.
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share with you a summary of them here in hopes that you can come accross them faster than I did, and decide for yourself if any of them will work for you (or maybe a little bit of all three).
Warning: This stuff is nuanced and complicated. I still struggle with it all daily. I'm not pretending to be an expert. Quite the contrary, I'm telling it like it is — the good, the bad, and the very ugly.


I'm been totally delinquent on this blog over the last several months so I thought I'd post something completely random. Have you ever searched Google Images for "High Five Animals?" You come up with some crazy images. Try it.

Q: How to getElementsByName when looping through the names? I have a table with field that appends when I click on add row. I want to be able to getElementsByName and insert a Price value from the database to each field when row is appended and Item is selected.

            }
            });
         getValues();
      }

 document.getElementsByName("items['+ (int) +'][inv_price]")[0].value = data

is not working for me. Please how do I correctly do this?

A: *

*Your IDs must be unique or don't use them. Use a class

*Use the jQuery you have anyway:

$("select").on("change", function() {
  const $parentRow = $(this).closest("tr")
  const id = $parentRow.find("whateverhastheID").data("id"); // ... data-id="theIdYouNeed"

  $.ajax({
    url: '/get-description/' + id,
    dataType: 'JSON',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(data) {
      $parentRow.find(".someClass").value=data;
    },
    error: function(err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
  });
});

A little while ago I wrote an essay on the things I like about being alone. Not to say that I don't enjoy being with people, but I'm very much the classic introvert—at the end of the day, my first impulse is to curl up somewhere and recharge quietly thinking things over. In my essay there was one example, however, where I swore I diverged from my loner ways: at mealtime. Spurred by painful memories of solo dinners as a freshman in John Jay Dining Hall, I was convinced eating alone was the ultimate form of social rejection. Reading, going for a walk, lying in bed staring aimlessly at the ceiling—all perfectly acceptable forms of solitude. But eating? I couldn't admit to a meal alone, not even to my creative writing class (and if ever a bunch of college-age misfits convenes, I can guarantee they will be some sort of creative writing class).
The thing is, the more I think about it, the more I realize I wasn't being entirely truthful. Eating alone surrounded by people may breed feelings of overwhelming rejection, but sitting by myself in the kitchen, the kettle close to boiling and two pancakes with a fried egg on top sitting neatly on the table in front of me, is truly one of life's great pleasures. When you eat alone, it's just you and your food—a near perfect relationship if there ever is one. There's no need to impress, and alone I find myself going for simple, savory things that don't take long to make and are primarily flavored with salt and pepper.
My most recent eating-alone obsession fits this bill. It has only five ingredients, if you count the salt and pepper but not the pasta water (which is, however, a crucial element). I've always been a lover of spaghetti with cheese—it's a comforting throwback to those childhood days when carbs and dairy were the only things my sister and I accepted on our USA geography and solar system place mats. Traditionally I've always gone with extra-sharp cheddar (the day I ran a half marathon I received a number of raised eyebrows en route to a friend's room when I stood by the elevator wrapped in a blanket with an enormous Tupperware of pasta, a giant block of cheddar, and a cheese grater). Last week, however, alone in the kitchen on my day off, I made a wonderful discovery. I couldn't find the colander and had a quarter inch of pasta water left after inadequate draining; then I lazily decided to forgo a plate and grate a chunk of parmesan directly into the pot. A slip of the hand left me with a generous coating of black pepper, so I added in an equally generous glug of olive oil to loosen things up. A sprinkling of salt, a few whirs with a fork, and I had magic—cheesy, peppery spaghetti made creamy by the leftover pasta water. I ate it alone with relish, and it was lovely solitude indeed.
Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil and add in the spaghetti, stirring well to keep from sticking. When the pasta is very al dente (I like it verging on chewy) bring the pot to the sink and drain almost all of the water, reserving a 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so of water at the bottom. Place your pot on an unheated surface and add a generous glug of olive oil, then grate a healthy amount of parmesan over the spaghetti and finish with lots of black pepper. Stir well and eat hot–from the pot, of course.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Five the Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Five)
The momentous final book in the New York Times #1 best-selling series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is now available in paperback.
All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds are against them. Kronos is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, his power only grows.
In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.
"The clash of modern and classical worlds is both exciting and entertaining." --The New York Times Book Review
"Riordan masterfully orchestrates the huge cast of characters and manages a coherent, powerful tale at once exciting, philosophical and tear-jerking. The best-selling series' legions of fans will cheer their heroes on and rejoice in such a compelling conclusion to the saga."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Rick Riordan (www.rickriordan.com) is the author of The Heroes of Olympus, Book One: The Lost Hero; the New York Times #1 best-selling The Kane Chronicles, Book One: The Red Pyramid; as well as all the books in the New York Times #1 best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series: The Lightning Thief; The Sea of Monsters; The Titan's Curse; The Battle of the Labyrinth; and The Last Olympian.

Students at SHS DPT program in Manhattan edited medical Wikipedia entries with Wikiproject Medicine.
Where do most people get their health information on the internet? The answer might surprise you: Wikipedia. How reliable is it? More so every day, thanks to Wikiproject Medicine and volunteers like Touro's PT students.
There are roughly 32,000 medical entries on Wikipedia, according to NPR, and the health pages had 4.9 billion views in 2013. The entries' validity have long been a source of controversy as NPR reported in November, and to remedy incorrect information, Wikipedia launched Wikiproject Medicine, a collaborative effort to improve medical accuracy on the site. For the second year in a row, students at Touro College School of Health Sciences (SHS) Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program in Manhattan were a part of the effort.
In April, students in Dr. Shira Weiner's class on healthcare education spent a day correcting Wikipedia entries, referencing high level studies as sources. The class teaches students how to effectively communicate with patients using proper medical terminology. Wikipedia entries, with their mix of scientific jargon and colloquial language, were the perfect exercise for the students. The students were led by Lane Rasberry, the Wikipedian in Residence at Consumer Reports. Using an algorithm, Rasberry pointed to entries on the site that experience both high volume web traffic, but have low quality information.
Students edited a bevy of articles on chronic pain, joint pain, physical therapy education, doctor-patient confidentiality, spinal disease and sports injuries. This year, Dr. Weiner noted, due to the high-profile nature of the entries, students engaged in a back-and-forth dialog with other Wikipedia editors from around the world.
The pages that Touro students edited have been viewed 156,000 times since the event.


Twelve teams from across the state will compete in the seventh annual Alabama Launchpad Start-Up Competition.
The teams are chosen, and the location is secured.
We are gearing up for the next phase of our seventh annual Alabama Launchpad Start-Up Proof of Commercialization Competition on March 4. That's when 12 teams from Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Auburn to Mobile will make their pitch presentations at Evonik Industries, 750 Lakeshore Parkway.
In all, 22 teams – twice as many as 2012 – registered by the Jan. 13 deadline to participate in this year's competition, in which teams with business ideas in the "pre-seed" stage will compete for awards totaling $100,000.
The teams were whittled down by an impressive five-judge panel comprised of entrepreneurs, investors and corporate stakeholders.
Greg Sheek, Launchpad programs director, applauds the number of applications and the diversity of talent in terms of technology and business ideas.
EDPA had the chance to meet team members at a kick-off event held at EDPA office earlier this month.
Alabama Launchpad, a program of the EDPA Foundation, is itself an innovative public-private partnership that brings together the state's university, business and economic development communities to encourage and support high-growth entrepreneurship.
The EDPA is working to boost Alabama's standing as a national leader in entrepreneurship and innovation through Alabama Launchpad by promoting, rewarding and increasing the pipeline of high-growth ventures that have the potential to become companies that create jobs across the state.
EDPA President Bill Taylor stresses that Alabama Launchpad is aligned with Accelerate Alabama, the state's larger plan for economic development announced two years ago that focuses on recruitment, retention and renewal.
We're excited about the competition that continues through May.
Alabama Launchpad, started seven years ago as a pilot program, is a valuable program. With Alabama's vast entrepreneurial history and robust resources, the elements are in place to launch the state to the top of national rankings.

Milan Furniture Show: Invention Loves Collaboration
Milan's annual International Furniture Show and collateral design week events yield the promise of homes without mobile phone chargers, and with more ergonomic seating, table settings fit for Italy's most demanding chefs and sculptures that double as furniture.
Colleen Barry, Associated Press
MILAN (AP) -- Collaboration drove invention during Milan's annual International Furniture Show and collateral design week events, yielding the promise of homes without mobile phone chargers, and with more ergonomic seating, table settings fit for Italy's most demanding chefs and sculptures that double as furniture.
The sprawling show, which closed Sunday, is the largest in the world, capitalizing on Italian excellence in furniture design and craftsmanship. The weeklong happening, which spills out into Milan venues with numerous side events, is also increasingly the launching pad for high-level collaborations among the fashion, architecture, technological and design worlds.
"The market is big and growing for those who have a strong brand," said the presiding chairman of the international furniture show, Kartell CEO Claudio Luti, noting that visitors from 160 countries were on hand to see new products from some 2,400 furniture makers at the Rho convention center near Milan. "It is a great opportunity and a great recognition of the quality of innovation."

At the end of a long day, both user and mobile phone are out of juice. In the dream house of the near future, there's no more fumbling for phone chargers. Just plunk down your device on a surface with a built-in wireless charging station.
Powermat wireless recharging technology is being incorporated into Corian surfaces, the DuPont creation that can be molded into virtually any shape and purpose, making it ideal for kitchen countertops, bathroom surfaces and tabletops — any of which now can become a charging station. The energy transfer is through magnetic induction, not electricity, meaning "there is no chance of sparkage," said Scott Eisenstein, a Powermat vice president.
DuPont envisions the broadest initial application in public spaces, say, restaurants, airports or train stations where mobile device charging can be monetized. But DuPont also sees a market niche for the technology as a luxury feature in private homes.
"DuPont Corian is so far ahead of the curve in recognizing that wireless power charging needs to be in places where you find yourself every day," Eisenstein said.
Until the wireless technology becomes standard in mobile phones, Powermat has bridge technologies in the form of charging phone cases or a charging ring that plugs into the device. Each need to be placed on a specified spot on the surface, where the energy transfer can be made.
TOP DESIGNERS UNITE FOR DIVERSITY
For design aficionados, there is nothing more galling than finding out that a competitive neighbor also bought that coveted Philippe Starck chair. Now, thanks to a concept launched on the sidelines of the furniture show, buyers can customize their own designer furnishings.
Seven designers, including Starck, Sebastian Bergne, Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, have designed "naked" furnishings — chairs, tables, sofas — for an inaugural collection of a new brand concept dubbed Tog, short for together. Consumers can choose from colors and combinations offered by the designers. But Tog coordinator and designer Nicola Rapetti said the concept also establishes a network of so-called customizers who offer additions of their own. For example, one Dutch "customizer" offers knit covers for chairs, and the possibilities for collaborations within the Tog community, as it grows, is endless.
Eventually, Starck envisions that 3-D printing will expand the concept even further.
Starck called Tog "a philosophy, a political idea" because it brings mass production to design, which will bring down prices.
"It's a high-tech miracle," Starck said. "You have a guy somewhere who will make a beautiful object, just for you."
A temporary store was opened in Milan this week and the first permanent store will open in Sao Paolo, with more to follow. There is also a website, www.togallcreatorstogether.com .
FASHION MEETS DESIGN
The Pucci fashion house has teamed up with the Bisazza ceramic makers to create splashy wall mosaics featuring archival Pucci patterns. The collaboration was born out of friendship between Laudomia Pucci and Rossella Bisazza, women who have taken over the historic Italian brands founded by their fathers.
While Bisazza has collaborated with designers before, this is its first with a fashion house.
"The idea is to transfer the print from garments to interiors," Bisazza said in the brand's Milan store. "It is a way to decorate the house."
Three of the creations are envisioned as wall hangings, pieces of art in limited editions of 99. Each bold, geometric mosaic is made from hand-cut stones and takes six mosaic makers 200 hours to assemble. The collection also includes three more-industrialized products that can be installed directly on interior walls.
"It has been a great collaboration, also very easy, very quick," Bisazza said. "It is not always that way."
Fashion designers are increasingly expanding into home and furniture lines to complete their brands. Prada presented its CloverLeaf Sofa, a sectional that in its full, circular configuration creates intimate space for conversation with front-and-back seating. In its entirety, the sofa, which comes in velvety red, gold and green, commands a large space but can be broken down into elegant S-shaped seating, as Prada did in its via Montenapoleane womenswear store.
Missoni decorated an interior wall with plates in a mix-matched floral and zigzag design that it made in collaboration with the historic Tuscan porcelain company Richard Ginori.
SCULPTED FURNITURE BY CARDIN
Pierre Cardin, a pioneer in ready-to-wear fashion, also was one of the first fashion designers to branch out into furniture. Now his nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati, is spearheading a new collection of Cardin's so-called "Utilitarian Sculptures."
A high-back curved S-shaped chair with ever the slightest spring is part of the collection. It is made out of flexible birch, plied into curves and covered with lacquered paint. Each piece takes two to four months to produce in Cardin's native Veneto (the designer moved to France at age 2) and will be made by order in limited quantities of as few as eight.
Cardin, now 91, was on hand for the unveiling of the creations at the Milan fairgrounds, wearing a double-breasted suit jacket accented with a green kerchief. He promptly went about reorganizing the stand, banishing refreshments, overseeing the transfer to the corner of a heavy sculpted floor lamp in the shape of a giant plant and repositioning a light to better accentuate a bureau.
"If I do something, I do it well, or I don't do it," the designer said.
TABLE WEAR BEFITTING THE MOST FINICKY CHEF
Kartell has returned to table wear, a line it abandoned in the 1970s, this time tapping the imaginations of three designers and three chefs for their ideal table settings.
Italian chef and restaurateur Davide Oldani wants his servers to know exactly how to place a plate before diners so he put a raised thumb print on his dishes for proper orientation. Andrea Berton and Carlo Cracco stuck to accessories, from serving plates for Cracco to sculpted bread dishes by Berton.
Philippe Starke created a series of whimsical domes dubbed "Ding Dong" for anything from cakes to hardboiled eggs; Jean-Marie Massaud made asymmetrical plates suggestive of flat stones; and Patricia Urquiola designed a series of transparent molded plastic dishes, bowls and drinking cups.
ARCHITECTS TRADE DOWN IN SCALE
Knoll continues its long tradition of collaborating with architects dating from Mies Van Der Rohe's Barcelona chair. This year, it has tapped London-based David Adjaye, who said he was apprehensive until "I understood that it would be an opportunity to express my position in terms of materials, silhouettes and forms."
Adjaye designed two chairs intended as complementary forms, one the skeleton and one the skin. Washington Skeleton is a solid sculpture, a curved intersection of crisscrossing lines, made of cast iron and either painted or copper-plated. Washington Skin is made from nylon that gives for a light backward bounce.
"My starting point was the idea of a seated person, and the form of the chair echoes this," Adjaye said. "The pattern is then a drawing of the forces required to brace this shape and make it a chair. It is like an exoskeleton."
HIGH-TECH/LOW-TECH
While technology remains a driving force in home furnishing innovations, there were also many simple, low-tech solutions on offer.
A Dutch design team created pop-up furniture for temporary restaurants or festivals — a cushioned and heated bench for two with a built-in table that folds into a box for easy transport. The pieces, made for side-by-side dining or working, were dubbed Soullmate.
Itinerant Italians often lament the quality of espresso abroad. Bialetti, maker of stove-top espresso machines, has one solution: a stainless steel bottom on its traditional stove-top espresso maker that better conducts heat from electric or ceramic-top heating elements common abroad, while retaining the aluminum reservoir, which best preserves the espresso flavor. Bialetti's traditional espresso makers have been all-aluminum.

9/11 Hero Suffering PTSD Says NYPD Won't Give Him Disability Pay »
Firefighter's Story Inspires Others to Donate Blood
By Kimberly | Published: December 17, 2013
By Sapna Parikh ABC News
It's an easy thing to do that can ultimately save someone's life.
It's as simple as rolling up a sleeve and giving a few minutes of your time to give blood.
"I think this is all of our first time, except for Ralph, so we're pretty excited," said Andrise Alzubhar, a student.
The students at North Rockland High School are lining up to become blood donors, inspired from the morning assembly.
"We saw The Red Bandanna, which is a story about a kid who just gave everything and he gave it all back to his community," said Chris Apicella, a senior.
That kid with the red bandana is Welles Crowther from Nyack. He lost his life on 9/11 after saving the lives of at least 12 others. His mother teamed up with retired firefighter Jeff Cool to inspire students to donate blood.
"Every corner we turned had fire," said Jeff Cool, a retired firefighter.
A graduate of North Rockland High School, Jeff received 72 units of blood in 2005. He was critically injured after being forced to jump from a burning building in the Bronx. Three of New York City's bravest died in the line of duty on that infamous day known as Black Sunday. But Jeff's message is that anyone can be a hero.
"Blood donors are everyday heroes. They don't get much recognition or thanks, but I'm here to tell you thanks over and over again," Cool said.
"We're also talking to students about being a part of the greater good. What does it mean to contribute to something more than yourself?" said Dr. Michael Gill, Principal, North Rockland High School.
Each pint of blood is split into red cells, platelets and plasma, which means you can save three lives every time.
In case you're wondering how young is too young to donate blood, here in New York State you have to be 17, or 16 with parental consent.
The North Rockland High School together with the New York Blood Center will host a blood drive on Wednesday, December 18th from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It's open to anyone, not just students, even if you're nervous.
"I'm like really scared of needles and I'm not really good with IVs but I want to like give back to my community," said Daniella Christ, a student.
It's a priceless gift this holiday season.

Dr. Nguyen is a project manager at DAE & Associates, Ltd, dba Geotech Engineering and Testing (GET) with the responsibility for the daily operations of geotechnical explorations, data analyses and the preparation of report recommendations. He has several years of experience in fields of geotechnical, environmental, materials and forensic engineering. His experience is in public infrastructure, including water, wastewater, roads, bridges, freeways, retaining walls, embankments, commercial and high-rise buildings, rail, parks, underground utilities, airports, ports, flood control channel, and subdivisions. He has experience in design of industrial plants, hydropower, ports, structures, buildings, various foundations, piles, seepage analysis, slope stability, retaining walls, triaxial testing, consolidation testing, groundwater and contamination modeling.
ABSTRACT : Mr. Harry Nguyen, Ph.D. with Geotech Engineering and Testing will be discussing "Geoforensic Evaluation of Concrete Pavement". Some two-lane concrete roads located in a Subdivision in Harris County, Texas have experienced cracking. These concrete pavements were constructed in 2014 and designed in accordance to Regulations of Harris County with a 25-ft width and 6-inch thickness. Cracking has occurred in the pavements, since construction. The longitudinal and transverse cracks observed in the concrete pavements generally ranged from hairline to 0.2-inches in width.
An investigation program of the concrete pavement distress was performed including (1) site visit to observe the cracks and types of joints, (2) ground penetrating radar survey to evaluate the installed reinforcements, (3) coring concrete to evaluate thickness of constructed concrete pavement, (4) laboratory tests to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete, (5) the petrographic analysis to evaluate the water-cement ratio and air contents of concrete, (6) reviewing the documents and reports obtained from the client and (7) engineering analysis for the observed information, reviewed documents, collected data and the laboratory test data.
The analysis of the field exploration and laboratory test data indicates that the reinforcement, thickness and compressive strength of concrete pavements meet Harris County's requirements for approval and acceptance of infrastructure. The principal cause of the cracks is attributed to the used coarse aggregates.

Eight Species Declared Extinct But May Still be Out There
1. Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil is endemic to Australia. Although this species is called tiger (named for its stripes) and wolf (due to its canid-like appearance), it is not a member of the cat or wolf family. It is a member of the marsupial family. Other members of this family include kangaroos and koala bears.
The last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in Hobart, Tasmania in 1936, but there have been hundreds of unconfirmed sightings, and a reserve has been set up in Southwestern Tasmania in the hopes that possible surviving individuals can have adequate habitat.

We work with the photography group based in Douglas Community Centre who gather photographs taken along the Dighty. The group visited the source of the burn near Lundie, following its path back to the mouth, stopping at regular times to photograph and record its journey through a wide range of landscapes. A number of our regular volunteers have a keen interest in photographing the natural world and take beautiful images throughout the year. We are fortunate to have a wide range of images to use in our resources - such as our Dighty poster and our 2013 calendar.


I Recently returned from a wonderful week of Jewish community and learning at the National Havurah Institute. As I was preparing for a workshop I taught on community investing (a project from earlier in my work life), I found a connection with the fair trade world, bringing together two of my passions!
It turns out that Oikocredit is one of the world's largest sources of private funding in the microfinance sector. They also provide credit to trade cooperatives, fair trade organizations and small to medium enterprises in the developing world.
Kuapa Kukoo, now a cooperative comprised of more than 45,000 cacao farmers in Ghana, was formed In the 1990's. Over the years, it grew into Divine Chocolate, Ltd in England, the only farmer-owned chocolate company in the world. Sufficient profit was made that the farmers in the Kuapa Kokoo cooperative began to receive dividends beginning in 2007. In addition, the fair trade premium pad for cocoa is used to construct and improve drinking water wells, primary schools, and other community projects decided by the farmers themselves.
When Divine Chocolate decided to enter the U.S. chocolate market in 2006, Oikocredit stepped forward with investments in the new division as well as a line of credit. In the past 5 years, Divine US has become a significant player in the fair trade chocolate market, including being the largest provider of Fair Trade Kosher Chanukah gelt!


This game is ownage. I love the sound, and it's just corny and fun. It's Greatness! Thanks.
Reminds me of the good old days, when games were different, every one.
I love this game, it reminds me of a good 80's arcade or NES game. The odd-ball humor gives it a lot of personality.
This game was hilarious! I loved the dairy bat, it made no sense! I LOVE IT!!


Webster's dictionary defines privacy, as something that is "not open" or "not intended for the public", "confidential" or "not publicly or generally known." There are also other, more commonly understood definitions of privacy, such as the ability of an individual or group to seclude information about themselves from others. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differs among cultures, religious communities, and generations.
There is no doubt that the Internet has added a new dimension to all our private lives. The online world we now live in presents new challenges to the privacy of kids and teens, parents, and older adults. For all consumers, it is important to have a greater awareness and understanding of how to protect your personal privacy in the online world.
•	Read the privacy policies for all of the websites you visit. Check to see how each website treats your personal information.
•	Check the privacy preferences on the websites you use – social networking, retail, etc. – and change your settings to make sure you are comfortable with the type of information collected and the length of time the information is retained.
Mamas Boy buy •	Delete the cookies saved in your computer on a regular basis. This will help to clear your Internet search history – the history of the sites you have visited on the Internet –and provide less information to websites that track this information.
•	Be careful how much personal information you put on the Web.
•	Always make sure you are on a secure site when providing credit card information ("s" appears either before or after "http:" in window). Do not respond to unsolicited requests for financial information and never provide personal financial data online, such as a social security number, bank account number, etc.
•	Make sure the website to which you are giving information is from a reputable organization.
•	Designate one credit card for online shopping to make it easier to track your online purchases.
•	Keep your computer security software up-to-date.
•	Guard your personal information online. It is often difficult to know exactly who you are communicating with online and sharing personal information with someone you don't really know is a privacy risk.

Sony recently added the ability to dim the DualShock 4's lightbar in Firmware v1.70, but you cannot turn it off completely. The reason for this was unknown, until now that is. Speaking to TechRadar, SCEE Senior Designer Jed Ashforth revealed that the controller's lightbar is required for Project Morpheus.
The lightbar is used to track the position of the controller, which together with the head tracking technology in Project Morpheus, will make an even better VR experience for gamers.

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Psalm 121)"
It has been 2 1/2 months since we moved from Oregon to Washington. It has been a busy time for us here at TV7 Network. We found a 33 acre farm and had a lot of remodeling to do. But, the beauty of the mountains is just breathtaking. We love the peace and tranquility that God gives us in nature. The verse in Psalms 121:1 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills from where cometh my help..my help cometh from God that made heaven and earth." TV7N is a ministry that wants to serve God in all it does. We want to serve him by learning more from God, by Practicing what we learn and Sharing with others this message of love. Learn, Practice, Share. That is our goal.
Our farm has been a great blessing and a lot of work. We have many projects that are in progress as I type. One of the most important is the construction of our temporary recording studio. We had our studio in Oregon where we had the opportunity of recording many programs for TV7N however by moving we need to build a new one. Our permanent studio will require a lot of funds which at this moment we don't have. However, we began construction on a smaller temporary studio that will allows to continue our recording as needed. What a blessing to be able to have the building and the strength to build—all God given. This studio will have at least 3 sets, an audio room, and a master control room. The work has been intense, but we thank all our team and family for their hard work.
And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
A certain day was appointed on which the Jews were to be destroyed and their property confiscated. Little did the king realize the far-reaching results that would have accompanied the complete carrying out of this decree. Satan himself, the hidden instigator of the scheme, was trying to rid the earth of those who preserved the knowledge of the true God. . . .
But the plots of the enemy were defeated by a Power that reigns among the children of men. In the providence of God, Esther, a Jewess who feared the Most High, had been made queen of the Medo-Persian kingdom. Mordecai was a near relative of hers. In their extremity they decided to appeal to Xerxes in behalf of their people. Esther was to venture into his presence as an intercessor. "Who knoweth," said Mordecai, "whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
The crisis that Esther faced demanded quick, earnest action; but both she and Mordecai realized that unless God should work mightily in their behalf, their own efforts would be unavailing. So Esther took time for communion with God, the source of her strength. "Go," she directed Mordecai, "gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish."
To every household and every school, to every parent, teacher, and child upon whom has shone the light of the gospel, comes at this crisis the question put to Esther the queen at that momentous crisis in Israel's history, "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

Professor Tanure Ojaide and Uganda's Harriet Arena have been announced as the joint winners of 2018 Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature.
Servio Gbadamosi, a doctoral candidate in the cultural and media studies program at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, was the runner-up. He was shortlisted for his 'A Tributary in Servitude'.
The winners were announced at a ceremony held at the Muson Center, Onikan, Lagos.
70-year-old Ojaide, a professor of Africana Studies at The University of North Carolina, was shortlisted for his poetry collection, 'Songs of Myself'.
Professor Tanure Ojaide has published 20 poetry collections as well as scholarly and fictional works.
Ms. Anena was the first Ugandan to have won the biennial award meant for writers.
The only other time the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature has been shared was in 2010, when South Africa's Kopano Matlwa (Coconut) and Nigeria's Wale Okediran (Tenants of The House) emerged joint winners.
This edition of the rotating Pan-African prize is for poetry and had 110 submissions from 11 countries on the continent, including Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and Rwanda.
Every two years, the prize, worth $10,000 is awarded to the best literary work produced by an African.
Previous winners of the prize have included novelists Sefi Atta for 'Everything Will Come,' and the South African Sifiso Mzobe for 'Young Blood'. The latter won over another South African short-listed book the same year, 'The Unseen Leopard' by Bridget Pitt.

Snore Control is a water based oral spray for people with snoring problems, including slow labored breathing and stuffy nose. It's sold by the 27 year old company KingBio. They're located in Asheville, North Carolina, and focus on homeopathic products. They use standard Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) which many reputable companies also use. KingBio sells a wide variety of products which may be able to meet a similarly wide variety of needs. Not all of their products have been properly scientifically tested, though, so keep an eye out for disclaimers.
1) Snore Control at a Glance
Snore Control mostly has water, probably 99.9 percent or more. It claims to also have diluted versions of 12 other ingredients. This includes Cuprum metallicum, Phosphoricum acidum, Rhus toxicodendron, Stramonium, and Zincum metallicum. Stramonium refers to Datura stramonium, a plant with many names, including Jimson weed and Devil's snare. It's a part of the famous nightshade family. Every portion of Datura stramonium is toxic, and careless use of it can easily result in death. In traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine it has been used to treat asthma symptoms, and later it was used as an anti-inflammatory and burn salve. The plant can also cause intense hallucinations when used in certain near-fatal concentrations. American Indians used Datura stramonium in some spiritual rituals. It has also been used in Voodoo.
2) Ingredients of Snore Control
Snore Control contains the following ingredients: Bromium, Chamomila, Cinchona, Cuprum met, Helleborus niger, Laurocerasus, Nux vom, Phoaphoricum ac, Rhus toxicondendron, Silicea, Stramonum, Zinc met. Equal Volumes of each ingredient in a Bio-Energetically Enhanced pure water base: 10x, 30x, & LM1 potencies.
3) Does Snore Control Work?
This product uses purified water as its base, and water makes up the vast majority of ingredient concentrations (if not 100 percent). The HPUS active ingredients are Bromium, Chamomilla, Cinchona officinalis, Helleborus niger, Laurocerasus, and 7 other substances. Helleborus niger is commonly called the Christmas rose. It's toxic and can cause burning of the eyes and throat, but was once used to treat paralysis, insanity, and more.
Laurocerasus is Prunus laurocerasus, also known as cherry laurel and the common laurel. Sometimes it's confused with a cousin, Prunus caroliniana, or the unrelated Laurus nobilis ("the true laurel"). Prunus laurocerasus is an evergreen shrub or small to medium-sized tree. Crushing the leaves releases a smell similar to almonds. The leaves, fruit, and seed are all considered poisonous. It's quite not as deadly as some other plants, but can cause severe discomfort if ingested. It gets its reputation because it contains the poison prussic acid (hydrocyanic acid), along with other substances. Prussic acid is also known as the infamous Hydrogen Cyanide. Under the name Zyklon B, it was used in Nazi extermination camps during World War II. Large amounts can be used in chemical warfare, and is therefore manufacturers of hydrogen cyanide are closely regulated.
4) Snore Control: Pros and Cons
No alcohol, glycerin, or sugar. This product uses well-purified water as its base.
The company claims to sell "all natural medicines without side effects" and this mostly appears true.
5) Snore Control Product Warnings
No evidence that homeopathic medicine is effective in any way, other than potentially providing a placebo effect.
The company website says this product has not been clinically tested.
6) Snore Control Price
Each two ounce bottle probably has an average price. It depends on where you find it and how often you use the product. For some people, it will be viewed as inexpensive. You can also rest assured with their 90 day money back guarantee. KingBio's website doesn't specify if they refund you shipping costs. As for the other storefronts you can find this product at, they may have different return policies. You'll have to check if the place you're looking at offers free shipping or other services. In most cases, people living in North America have the easiest access to this company's products.
7) Suggested Use
Cuprum metallicum is the natural form of the element copper. In homeopathy it's dissolved with lactose sugar, ground into a fine powder, then heavily diluted and filtered with water. It can allegedly help with respiratory problems, coughing, and joint pain. It's rarely prescribed and long term use can lead to significant problems, depending on the concentrations of Cuprum metallicum in whichever product you're taking. Likewise, Zincum metallicum is simply zinc, a common mineral in multivitamin supplements. It's chemically similar to magnesium. Copper is not used in modern medicine except to treat copper deficiency, which is rare because the element is present in common foods. Zinc is more useful because it may help protect your eyes, skin, and immune system; it may also function as an indirect antioxidant.
8) Final Thoughts on Snore Control
This is mostly purified water, so it's bound to be safe. People of all ages will be able to use this product without worrying about side effects. It's not entirely clear how much of each "active ingredient" is really inside this product. Despite the company's lengthy history, there are almost no independent testimonials (such as customer reviews) about the usefulness of their products. On the surface, it doesn't appear that this product can make a big difference in your life. But when all other solutions fail, give it a try.
Snore Control Questions & Answers
What are the active ingrediens in Snore Control?
Snore Control includes the following ingredients: Bromium, Chamomila, Cinchona, Cuprum met, Helleborus niger, Laurocerasus, Nux vom, Phoaphoricum ac, Rhus toxicondendron, Silicea, Stramonum, Zinc met. Equal Volumes of each ingredient in a Bio-Energetically Enhanced pure water base: 10x, 30x, & LM1 potencies.
Does Snore Control work?
KingBio appears truthful and reliable regarding some of its claims. The remaining claims are difficult to verify, since homeopathic medicine is notoriously unreliable. It works well for some people, and doesn't do anything in other people. While this is to be expected with supplements and medicine, a common failure rate for nootropics and prescriptions is sometimes considered 10 percent or less. Homeopathy is more of a 50-50 chance. But when it works, it's often a very safe and worry-free natural remedy.

15 gripping sports documentaries you can watch online to fill the hole left in your life by the lack of live sports right now

There may be no live sport to watch right now, but you can still get your fix.
The coronavirus pandemic has put a halt to virtually all live professional sports.
With nothing to watch live on TV, many fans are scrambling for ways to enjoy their favorite sports during the pandemic.
There are plenty of gripping documentaries about elite sports on streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video that you can watch to fill the gap left by the lack of live sports.
Check out 15 of Insider's favorites below.
If you're a sports fan, the current global shutdown forced by the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the world is doubly difficult.
Not only do you have to contend with the stress and anxiety caused by the pandemic, which has killed more than 90,000 people and infected over 1.5 million, but also with the stoppage of almost all live sport to help protect athletes and fans, and to stop the spread of the virus.
All is not lost, however, when it comes to watching sports during the pandemic.
Not only can fans watch the requisite grainy highlights of their favorite stars on YouTube, and a professional H-O-R-S-E tournament featuring some of the NBA's biggest stars, there are also a plethora of gripping sporting documentaries on online streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and even YouTube.
Running the gambit from deep insights into the workings of a struggling lower league English football team, to a look at what makes high school quarterbacks gunning for the NFL tick, all the way to an exploration of the world of elite cheerleading, take a look below at some of Insider's favorite sports documentaries.
Screenshot/Netflix
Where: Netflix
Why: At a glance, Formula One may seem like a pretty straightforward, and not particularly physically taxing sport. The reality could not be any more different. Drivers need to be almost unimaginably fit, supremely strong, having lightning fast reflexes, and nerves of steel.
"Formula One: Drive to Survive" provides a deep look into the world of elite motorsport, showing not just the incredible skill and fitness of the drivers, but also the Machiavellian tactics that pervade the sport. Drivers on the same team are often pitted against one another, while vying for the affections of their emperor-like team bosses.
Featuring characters like the arrogant, often downright unpleasant, team boss Christian Horner, the ultra-driven Lewis Hamilton, and the sport's joker, Daniel Ricciardo, the documentary is a must-watch for any motorsport fan.
"From the team behind 'Last Chance U,' Netflix's documentary series 'Cheer' follows the competitive cheerleaders of Navarro College in Corsicana, TX."
Why: If you thought cheerleading was just about waving pom-poms and occasionally doing a high kick, watch Netflix's "Cheer" and rethink your opinion. Devastating injuries, fierce competition, and corporate greed loom large in this gripping series.
Featuring cheerleaders from Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas, "Cheer" follows the squad as they prepare for the NCA National Championships under the tutelage of Monica Aldama, a coach so successful that she is known by her athletes as "Queen."
"The Test: A New Era For Australia's Team"
The Test Steve Smith
Where: Amazon Prime Video
Why: Most Americans don't know much about cricket, but Amazon's latest original has all the drama, intrigue, redemption, and fierce competitiveness that mark out the best sports documentaries.
The documentary follows the Australian test cricket team on a journey from the lowest moment in the country's sporting history: 'Sandpaper-gate' — when the team was caught ball tampering during a match against South Africa, to the returned of disgraced captain Steve Smith, all the way to the 2019 Ashes against England, the fiercest rivalry in all of cricket.
"The Least Expected Day: Inside the Movistar Team 2019"
The Least Expected Day
Why: In terms of physical demands on the human body, professional cycling is perhaps the toughest, requiring riders to cover hundreds of kilometers per day, often ascending huge mountains and taking on baking heat or torrential rain in the process.
"The Least Expected Day" follows the 2019 season of Movistar, a Spanish team, as it sets its sights on the three biggest races on the cycling calendar — the Grand Tours.
Capturing not only the astonishing physical achievements of riders, but also the human dynamics of a team sport that is simultaneously dominated by individualism, this is a must watch for even the most casual cycling fan.
"UCLA Gymnastics: The New Era"
UCLA Gymnastics
Where: YouTube
Why: Focusing on the elite gymnastics programme at the University of California Los Angeles, "The New Era" looks at the school's team in its first season after the departure of star performer Katelyn Ohashi, who found viral internet fame with her stunningly peppy routines.
Rivalries, friendships, and incredible feats of athleticism permeate this documentary, which explores one of the most grueling mental and physical sports around.
"Sunderland 'Til I Die"
Sunderland Til I Die
Why: For a Sunderland fan like this writer, this documentary is an unbelievably tough watch, and even as a neutral it's pretty painful at times.
"Sunderland 'Til I Die" encapsulates all the agony, ecstasy, and heartache that comes with supporting a football team through hard times.
Over the course of two seasons, the show follows Sunderland AFC, one of English football's oldest and most storied teams, as it battles relegation from the Premier League, financial troubles, angry fans, and disillusioned players.
Come for the gripping drama and artistically shot game footage, stay for the hilarious scenes featuring eccentric club chief executive Martin Bain, whose motivational speeches, and inane management speak make him, at times, resemble Michael Scott from "The Office."
"All or Nothing: NFL"
FILE – In this Feb. 3, 2019, file photo, Los Angeles Rams Michael Brockers is shown in action against the New England Patriots during NFL Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta. Brockers is re-signing with the Los Angeles Rams after his free agent deal with the Ravens fell through, apparently because Baltimore's team doctors couldn't examine him properly due to the coronavirus pandemic. Brockers' representatives at Team Sports Agency confirmed the surprising reversal Friday, March 27, 2020. (AP Photo/Gregory Payan, File)
Why: While there wouldn't be any live NFL action happening now even without the coronavirus pandemic as it's the off-season, it's still fun to be reminded of the intense physicality and sublime skills possessed by American football stars.
Across five seasons, All or Nothing follows a different NFL franchise each season: The Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Rams, the Dallas Cowboys, the Carolina Panthers, and most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles. Each season provides a fascinating insight into the relationships that make the National Football League tick.
"All or Nothing: New Zealand All Blacks"
All Blacks perform a haka ahead of their Bledisloe Cup rugby test against Australia at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018.
Shuji Kajiyama/AP
Why: Part of Amazon's this documentary focuses on the New Zealand rugby union team, better known as the All Blacks.
Following arguably the most dominant team in any major sport, "All or Nothing: New Zealand All Blacks" follows the team during its 2018 campaign, and explores how a tiny nation of just three million people is able to produce some of the world's best athletes.
"QB1: Beyond The Lights"
QB1
Why: While the majority of sporting documentaries focus on the highest echelons of athletics, "QB1: Beyond the Lights" spotlights those trying to make it there.
Each of the show's three seasons focuses on three quarterbacks in their senior year at high school as they prepare themselves for playing college football in Division I of the NCAA, hoping ultimately to turn pro and make it in the NFL.
The show provides a unique insight into the challenges facing high school athletes as they juggle growing up, school work, and their sporting careers.
It was directed by Peter Berg, who made classic high school football drama "Friday Night Lights."
Diego Maradona Mexico
Why: Arguably the greatest football player of all time, Argentina's Diego Maradona is also one of the sport's most divisive figures. He is almost as well-known for his problems with substance abuse and ties to organized crime as he is his on field brilliance.
One of numerous recent documentaries about the troubled star, "Maradona in Mexico" is perhaps the most unusual, following his one-season spell as the manager of Dorados de Sinaloa, a Mexican second division team.
The team is based in the city of Culiacán, the traditional stronghold of the Sinaloa cartel, the drug trafficking gang once led by Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
"It was too crazy to be true," director Angus Macqueen told The Guardian. "Maradona, a coke addict, going to the world capital of cocaine."
The docu-series, however, provides a fascinating insight into Maradona the man, with the Guardian describing it as a portrait of a "fervent, complex, charming, impassioned, sentimental and endearingly unhinged" star.
AP Photo/ESPN
Why: "Killer Inside" follows the trial, conviction, and subsequent death by suicide of Aaron Hernandez, a former New England Patriots tight end found guilty of the murder of Odin Lloyd, a former friend.
The documentary explores not only his conviction, but also his younger life, NFL career, his acquittal in another murder case, and the posthumous discovery that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition caused by repeated head trauma.
A harrowing but fascinating watch.
"Boca Juniors Confidential"
Why: Nowhere are sports fans more passionate and intense than in South America, and some of the most passionate support Boca Juniors, Argentina's biggest and most storied football team.
"Boca Juniors Confidential" tracks the side through the course of a season as it attempts to win Argentina's elite football league, the Superliga.
Featuring player interviews, in-game footage, and detailed discussions of Boca's hatred-filled rivalry with crosstown nemesis River Plate, the show is a perfect introduction into the intense, noisy world of Latin American football.
Why: Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the two best footballers on the planet right now, and is among the greatest players ever to play the game.
This intimate portrait of the Portuguese star tells his life story through home videos, interviews with Ronaldo himself and family members, and contemporary footage of his daily life.
Released in 2015, it does not include his troubled final years at Real Madrid, or his subsequent move to Juventus, but it is still a compelling look at the mind of an elite athlete.
The documentary was executive produced by Asif Kapadia, who also made the stunning "Senna" — which focused on the life and death of Ayrton Senna, the greatest Formula One driver in history.
Why: One of football's best recruiting grounds is a place you've never heard of," runs the tag-line of "Last Chance U," a documentary focusing on East Mississippi Community College, a small school in Mississippi known for taking in former star athletes.
Many of the athletes have personal problems and are looking to rebuild their sporting careers and return to NCAA Division I.
There are four seasons of the show, the first two set at East Mississippi Community College, and the second two at Independence Community College, which runs a similar programme.
If you love redemption stories, this is the documentary for you.
Coming soon: "The Last Dance"
FILE – In this Feb. 6, 1988, file photo, Chicago Bulls' Michael Jordan dunks during the slam-dunk competition of the NBA All-Star weekend in Chicago. Jordan left the old Chicago Stadium that night with the trophy. To this day, many believe Wilkins was the rightful winner. (AP Photo/John Swart)
Where: ESPN and Netflix from April 19
Why: Probably the most anticipated sports documentary of recent years, the Last Dance" focuses on the life and career of Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the history of the NBA, and arguably the most iconic sporting figure in history.
The documentary will feature interviews with virtually every important figure in Jordan's career, from his mother, to former teammates, to musicians and stars like Justin Timberlake. With 10 episodes to watch from April 19, this is set to be the documentary of the year.

Q: Iterate over Generator which returns a Generator I try to understand Generators, but I found an example which I can not follow.

// First Generator

function* Colors ()
{
  yield "blue";
  yield* MoreColors ();
  yield "green";
 }

// Generator refered by the first Generator
function* MoreColors ()
{
  yield "yellow";
  yield "orange";
 }

// Let us iterate over the first Generator

const colorIterator = Colors();

let color;

while (!(color = colorIterator.next()).done)
{
  console.log(color.value);
}

The output is:
"blue"
"yellow"
"orange"
"green"
I expected:
"blue"
"yellow"
"orange"
Why I expected this:
I think that after orange has been returned, the method .next() is called on the Iterator from MoreColors (). This should return an object with the propery value true for the property .done.
By this, item is equals true and the while-loop should stop.
Obviously, my expectations are wrong.
I would be glad, if someone could point out what I get wrong.

A: The problem is that the generator Colors does not stop once MoreColors stops. After MoreColors is done, the execution of Colors continues from where it stopped, and so it would return "green" before being done. That's because the generator does not "become" MoreColors, but rather returns its answers, and the .next() method is still called on Colors.


This book is one that Bug and I are using as we study ancient Egypt.

Looks like so much fun! I hope you have a great home schooling year!


BOONE, Iowa — An Ames man is facing charges for carrying a gun on the DMACC Campus in Boone.
Boone Police were called to the school on a report of someone carrying a gun. When they arrived they removed 22-year-old Boyang Xu from a classroom. Police found a semiautomatic handgun tucked into the waistband of his pants. Xu has a permit to carry a handgun. However guns are prohibited on the DMACC campus.
Xu is charged with Carrying a Weapon on School Grounds.


Your child has ADHD, and needs to develop better organization skills STAT. The problem? You have ADHD too, and have no clue how to help your child get organized when your own life is a mess. Here, our organizing coach provides strategies for messy parents with ADHD.
Your question is one I get asked quite often. It's one of the reasons why, at Order Out of Chaos, we work with both the student and the family to make sure EVERYONE is properly supported. Here are a few strategies to try in families where both the child and parent are living with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD).
If you want to help your child with ADD get organized, it's critical that you first identify your own challenges and find solutions that work for you! What might that look like? Let's say homework is a real struggle in your home and, by the time you arrive home after a full day's work, you just don't have the focus or the mental energy to assist your son. Put other work-arounds in place like having your son complete homework at school or hiring a high school student to assist in the evenings.
You have the perfect partner in your son. Sit down with him and simply ask what he thinks would work in various situations. Perhaps he likes novelty and would prefer reminders written on his bedroom mirror rather than hung in the kitchen. You'd be surprised how creative kids can be when they are simply asked!
I had a client once who struggled with time management. She would consistently model time-planning strategies for her son by talking aloud when she planned her own activities. She would say things like, "I have to pick up dad at the train station at 6:30. It's 5:45 now and it takes me 10 minutes to get there. I should leave at 6:20 which gives me 35 minutes." Just by making your son aware of how you get things done (or don't!) can work its way into his subconscious and stay there.

Q: Tracking the spawned threads in ThreadPoolExecutor java I am spawning 5 threads by using a threadpool. Now i would like to know the best way of tracking all these threads and capturing the metrics of each thread like

*

*How much time each thread took?

*How much memory each thread utilized?

Do we have any ready made implementations which does the job for us. Any suggestions will be helpful.
public static void main(String[] args) {

        ThreadPoolExecutor executors = (ThreadPoolExecutor) Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);

        System.out.println("at executors step");
        List<String> getlist = getList();
        for (Iterator<String> itr = getlist.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) {
            String element = (String) itr.next();
            String[] command = { "ssh", "hddev-c01-edge-02", "\"" + element + "\"" };
            System.out.println("the command is as below ");
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(command));
            System.out.println("inside the iterator");
            ParallelExecutor pe = new ParallelExecutor(command);
            executors.execute(pe);
        }
        executors.shutdown();
    }

A: There are 2 methods in ThreadPoolExecutor which you can override to do this kind of house keeping, like how much time a thread took to execute a Runnable.
Extend the ThreadPoolExecutor and override only 2 methods like,
protected void beforeExecute(Thread t, Runnable r) { }

protected void afterExecute(Runnable r, Throwable t) { }

Hope this helps.
