What went wrong with 'Downsizing'
I'm not usually one to take shots at ambitious films by well-respected directors — especially ones that bombed at the box office. But Alexander Payne's Downsizing presents an irresistible case because it's such an interesting failure.
Nitpix has put together a detailed essay explaining why Downsizing is one of the worst "smol" movies ever (i.e. a movie in which the protagonist is shrunk down to a smaller size):
It seems to completely abandon its sci-fi premise almost immediately, despite introducing it twice.
It raises many interesting social and political issues that it fails to explore meaningfully.
The plot's structure is a mess and the film sputters to an end.
Matt Damon's character is a big nothingburger and completely uninteresting and unsympathetic.
There's probably only a few people that even care about this film, but I'll admit: it definitely stuck in my craw. See also: Walter Chaw's takedown of the film.

"Foxcatcher" star Steve Carell is eyeing another drama.
The story explores last decade's housing and credit bubble collapse, in which Carell would play Steve Eisman, one of the money movers who got his hands dirty shorting subprime mortgages. Pitt's Plan B already has a script from Adam McKay ("Ant-Man"), who will also direct.
The actor turned in a transformative performance as wrestling coach John du Pont in "Foxcatcher," which co-starred Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. Carell's portrayal of the real-life villain earned him Golden Globe, SAG Award and BAFTA nominations.
Before starring in Bennett Miller's dark wrestling drama, Carell was mostly known for comedic roles, including two "Anchorman" movies, written and directed by McKay, and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Carell also famously starred on NBC's "The Office" for the majority of its nine-season run.
WME and Media Four Management represent Carell.
THR first reported the casting.


Crawford received her B.A. and J.D. from Yale University. She served as a clerk for Judge Raymond J. Dearie of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and was a partner at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (now WilmerHale) (Washington, D.C.) until the end of 2002, when she left that firm to enter the legal academy.


There's no question that work can be stressful. Constant demands on your time and talents make it hard to fit in exercise, time for relaxation and healthy foods. Mayo Clinic cardiologist Dr. Stephen Kopecky says work stress can negatively impact your mental and physical health, and that includes your heart health.
In this Mayo Clinic Minute, reporter Vivien Williams talks to Dr. Kopecky about how work stress affects your heart, and he offers tips to handle it.

Connect: Let's get our hearts pounding!
An imp-type magical girl whose aim is to be the "cutest of them all". Refers to herself using "aーshi". With a straight-forward, bright, and unafraid personality, even if she meets someone for the first time, she'll give them a nickname right away and bluntly close the distance between them, and before they realize it, she'll have wormed her way into their heart.
She runs a "Trouble Consultation Office," where she gives advice and tries to help people out. It also functions as a hangout for the local magical girls.
Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi chase a familiar but lose track of it. Emiri then appears and tells them not to worry. Emiri then introduces herself. Sasara asks if Emiri was after the familiar. Emiri says she was, that she only just became a magical girl, and that this is her first time meeting other magical girls. Emiri asks Sasara and Asuka to help her, and ultimately convinces them to do so. She then gives them nicknames. Sasara says they'll need to track the familiar with their Soul Gems. Emiri asks if there's a spell that can do that, but Sasara says she's never heard of anything like that. As Asuka complains about Emiri's nicknames, Sasara senses the familiar.
The girls beat the familiar, only for a witch to appear. Emiri marvels at the witch and her barrier. Sasara and Asuka see the witch has unconscious victims in her lair. Sasara and Asuka then argue over whether to save the people first or destroy the witch. Emiri says Sasara can try helping the people, which would provoke the witch, and then Asuka can attack while the witch is distracted. Sasara says it's a good plan. The girls are successful, destroying the witch. After the barrier disappears, Emiri says she'll go home. Asuka and Sasara get Emiri's contact information. Sasara and Asuka muse that Emiri has a natural charm to her. Emiri narrates that being a magical girl is tough, but fun.
Some time later, Asuka and Sasara meet Emiri at the resturant "Walnuts". Emiri asks what the meeting was about. Sasara and Asuka say they just wanted to talk a little more. Emiri asks about the restaurant, and Sasara reveals the cook is a magical girl they meet some time ago. The magical girl in question arrives: Manaka Kurumi. Manaka seems preoccupied with something. All three girls order omelette rice. Emiri asks the girls what they want to talk about. Sasara says there's just something about talking to Emiri. Asuka calls it a new discovery. Sasara then tells Emiri not to worry and that they're talking normally. Manaka then arrives with the food.
Unfortunately, Sasara's meal is too salty, Asuka's is spicy, and Emiri's is too sweet (though she says it's surprisingly good). A horrified Manaka admits she was cooking absent-mindedly. Emiri says she noticed Manaka was spacing out and asks if something has happened. Manaka explains that she's creating a new dish. In order to explain, as an apology for ruining their food, she invites the three girls to try it. Manaka then brings out the "Manaka Special! (Title Pending.)" Emiri, Sasara and Asuka find the meal to be really good, which leads them to ask why Manaka is having a problem.
Manaka explains the dish might not be appropriate for the restaurant, saying that Walnuts has it's own traditions. Emiri response is "who cares". Emiri says the food is so good that she wants everyone to try it, and Manaka should put it on the menu. Manaka admits Emiri is right, and that if she doesn't challenge her restaurant's traditions she won't be able to protect the restaurant. Manaka says she will bring the dish to her father's attention and thanks Emiri. Asuka then tells Emiri she can rescue people who have lost their...Emiri, and asks Emiri to represent them as a portable shrine. A confused Emiri asks if there's a festival and wonders how things have come to this.
A few days later, Asuka and Sasara bring Emiri to a shopping center. They explain that they think Emiri would make a perfect advisor, since she puts people at ease and can easily get to the heart of a issue. Emiri is surprised by this, but Sasara and Asuka reveal that Manaka's father approved her dish, and now her restaurant is even more popular. Asuka says it proves Emiri's skills, and says she'd like to introduce Emiri to more people. Sasara says they want to open an advice booth. Asuka that people could talk to Emiri, dramatically claiming it's for the sake of the world and humanity. Sasara asks if Emiri is okay with it.
Emiri asks what she would do. Asuka says she would just talk with people. Emiri says it sounds fun and she'll do it. Sasara then says she wants to introduce Emiri to someone, and sees that they have arrived. It turns out to be Akira Shinobu. Sasara asks Akira if she can help out at the advice booth. Akira asks why it has to be her, and Asuka says Akira has a reputation for helping. Akira points out that Sasara and Asuka can handle it, but they say they have to go out and advertise the place. Akira is still reluctant, but then Emiri starts asking about Akira's way of speaking. Sasara and Asuka slip out.
The narration reveals that Emiri's advice booth was a huge success. Rika Ayano is shown asking about someone she's in love with. Emiri tells her romance is all about spirit. Rika then agrees. The stand increases in popularity, attracting more customers. Tsuruno Yui is shown, saying that when she met Emiri all her worries flew away. Eventually Ria Ami hears about the stand. The narration explains Ria is known as the most beautiful girl in Kamihama City. However, because her beauty came from a wish, Ria is concerned about her surroundings. Ria goes to the stall and waits for the crowd to thin out. Akira walks up to Ria and asks if she's here for a consultation. Ria did, but thinks if everyone found out it would be embarrassing. She tells Akira she's just checking the place out.
Akira says the booth is closing for the day. Ria thinks she waited too long and asks if she can meet Emiri. Akira says Emiri's probably tired, but Ria says it's fine because "I'm Ria Ami". When Emiri sees Ria, she develops heart-eyes and calls her cute. Ria introduces herself, and Emiri recognizes her as a famous model. Emiri decides to nickname Ria "Ria-sama", because she says Ria is like a princess. Ria thinks being called with a respectful honorific feels nice. Emiri says she always wanted a big sister. She then says she was going to tell something to Kyubey, which prompts Ria to reveal she's a magical girl as well. Akira says it's a small world, but wonders if Emiri has something to do with it.
Emiri says Ria must be the cutest magical girl in the world. Ria thinks hearing that makes her feel so much better. Emiri then announces she wants to partner with Ria, because she wants to be the cutest magical girl herself. Ria says she'll be happy to have Emiri as a partner. Emiri then says they should all leave to get fruit cups. She also says she wants to introduce Ami to Asuka and Sasara. The narration says Emiri soothed another heart. Emiri narrates that Ria is sparkling and she's so excited.
Emiri appears in Ren Isuzu's side story. Ren is taken to her "Trouble Consultation Office", and she takes Ren to meet various other magical girls to try and help her.
Emiri plays a major role in Hinano Miyako's side story, acting as her magical girl partner and assistant.
The characters of her last name mean "wood" (木) and "small peninsula"(崎), respectively.
The characters of her first name mean "clothing" (衣), "beauty" (美), and "village"(里), respectively.
Hinano and Emiri's heights and ages are mentioned in Hinano's side story.

Zachary Higgins Clark (born April 10, 1983) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles in 2013.

Career
Clark graduated from Newark High School in Newark, Delaware, in 2001. He then attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where he played college baseball for the UMBC Retrievers.

Baltimore Orioles
He went undrafted after graduating in 2006, and signed with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent, receiving a $1,000 signing bonus. By 2010, Clark was promoted to the Norfolk Tides of the Class AAA International League, the highest level of minor league baseball.

Clark posted a strong breakout season in 2012 for the Bowie Baysox of the Class AA Eastern League and Norfolk, posting a 15-7 win–loss record with a 2.79 earned run average between the two teams. The Orioles added Clark to their 40-man roster after the 2012 season.

Clark began the 2013 season with Norfolk. On May 1, 2013, Clark was called up to the Orioles, where he was expected to be a part of the bullpen. Clark made his major league debut that same night against the Mariners in Seattle, coming on in relief of Wei-Yin Chen in the bottom of the 5th inning. He went  innings in his debut, allowing three hits and three earned runs. He was designated for assignment on May 4, 2013. On May 6, he was outrighted to Bowie, where he began developing a knuckleball. He experienced a hamstring injury, and struggled for the remainder of the season. Clark became a free agent at the end of the season, and signed a new minor league contract with the Orioles.

The Orioles did not assign Clark to a minor league affiliate at the start of the 2014 season, as he worked on his knuckleball in extended spring training. In June, the Orioles opted not to assign Clark to the Aberdeen Ironbirds of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League, and instead released him.

Camden Riversharks
Clark signed with the Camden Riversharks of the unaffiliated Atlantic League of Professional Baseball a few days later, and scrapped the knuckleball.

Scouting career
After retiring from professional baseball, Clark was hired as a scout for the Houston Astros. He was let go in 2017 as part of restructuring by the organization.

He was soon after hired by the Tampa Bay Rays' scouting department, and currently serves as an Area Supervisor scout.

Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek has successfully represented the Swiss retail group Migros in an EU merger control proceeding concerning the acquisition of the German supermarket chain tegut. The European Commission has published its clearance decision shortly before Christmas 2012. The Migros group acquires from the tegut group the retail branches, the group's headquarters in Fulda and the logistics.
The Migros group is the largest retail company in Switzerland. The company has outlets in all Swiss cantons and the neighbouring countries and controls in addition a large number of subsidiaries in Switzerland and the EU.
The tegut retail business belongs to the company Gutberlet Stiftung & Co. KG whose main seat is in Fulda. 6,2000 employees distribute mainly food products in more than 300 branches in Hessen, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Rhineland Palatinate, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt.

When is the TV programme on and what is it about?
Audiences can look forward to a new Prince Philip BBC documentary celebrating his life and legacy.
The UK were deeply saddened by the death of Prince Philip in April 2021, in the same year in which he would have celebrated his 100th birthday.
The Duke of Edinburgh – who was married to the Queen for over half a century – will go down as the longest serving consort in royal history. And his extraordinary royal life is set to be explored with never-before-heard stories shared by his children and the Queen's grandchildren exclusively in a new BBC One documentary.
When is the new Prince Philip documentary on?
The Prince Philip documentary will air on Wednesday 22nd September at 9pm on BBC One.
The BBC have confirmed that the programme, titled Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, will run for an hour.
Royal fans will also be able to catch up with it on BBC iPlayer, once the show has aired.
What is the Prince Philip documentary about?
The new Prince Philip documentary looks back on the late Duke's life. It includes interviews with several Royal Family members and friends sharing their most treasured memories and anecdotes of Philip.
According to the BBC, it was originally meant to mark his one hundredth birthday on June 10th. However, his death in April subsequently changed the focus to that of a tribute to the Queen's husband.
For this reason, the show features interviews that were filmed before and after Philip passed.
Royal fans will also be given a rare glimpse inside the Duke of Edinburgh's study, private office and library. Documentary makers were given exclusive access to the rooms at Buckingham Palace and met with some of his closest staff members.
The programme will also explore Philip's Royal Navy career and his establishment of the successful Duke of Edinburgh awards. Plus his charitable work, which saw him act as patron, president and member of over 700 organisations.
"There are poignant recollections, plenty of humour and numerous fresh insights into the character and legacy of this royal pioneer," says the BBC of the Prince Philip programme. "With special access to the Queen's private cine film collection, this documentary is an unrivalled portrait of a man with a unique place in royal history – by those who knew him best."
Who appears in the royal documentary?
Several high profile members of The Royal Firm appear in the new Prince Philip BBC documentary.
His grandsons, Prince William and Prince Harry both make cameos in the show's trailers.
It opens with Prince William saying of Philip, "He's always been a huge presence behind everything we're done really." With Prince Harry adding, "What you see is what you got with my grandfather, he was unapologetically him."
Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall also says, "You never really prepare yourself for losing him because he was always there."
Royal fans can also expect appearances from Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, plus the Duchess of Cambridge.

Anecdotes will also be shared by the Queen and Prince Philip's children.
First in line to the throne, Prince Charles, appears on camera noting that "we were lucky to have him for nearly 100 years."
He also recalls the last conversation he had with his father which took place the day before his death on 9 April 2021.
Prince Charles shared that they were discussing the Duke's 100th birthday. "We're talking about your birthday," Prince Charles told Philip, aware his father isn't a big birthday person. "We're talking about your birthday! And whether there's going to be reception," he repeated.
To which Prince Philip replied "Well, I've got to be alive for it, haven't I?" And Prince Charles responded, "'I knew you'd say that!'"
Prince Edward and Princess Anne are also expected to share stories of their father on screen. But sadly the Queen is not expected to make an appearance for the film and is notably missing from the list of contributors in the documentary.

Grammar and morality are not a good mix
By By John E. McIntyre
Dec 13, 2016 | 9:05 AM
Writing at the Macmillan Dictionary Blog, Stan Carey takes a look at the checkered history of invite as a noun: stubbornly persistent since the seventeenth century but never receiving an acceptance greater than a grudging acknowledgement as a colloquialism. Never invited into the parlor.
He concludes: "We can acknowledge all this without lambasting the word as a 'needless barbarism', as one critic did. Can we omit needless accusations of barbarity? That's my invite to the critics."
"Barbarism" gets thrown around a lot when English grammar and usage come up. I've given up trying to reason in a discussion elsewhere with a gentleman who likes to refer to the way the "ignorant masses" use language.
Let's go over this again. Standard English—standard written English, standard formal written English—is one dialect of English. It happens to be the prestige dialect, the one you are expected to master for a career in academia, law, government, corporate business. The other registers and dialects of English have distinct vocabularies and sometimes their own grammar. We usually understand them perfectly well, even if they are not to our taste.
Mastering standard English is a skill, usually requiring years of schooling, and you are entitled to take pride in the accomplishment. But don't preen yourself overmuch, or claim moral superiority because you are a master of what you may call "proper" English. A pianist can play the Bach French Suites and you cannot, because she has mastered a skill you do not have. Does that make her morally superior to you? The electrician who rewires your house has mastered a complex technic that is beyond you. Is he thus a better person?
Mastering the prestige dialect does not confer moral superiority, only social superiority. When you begin to carry on about barbarism, usages that afflict you "like nails on the chalkboard," or the way the "ignorant masses" speak and write, you are not a better human being, a more moral person, a more sensitive and civilized sort. You are just a damn snob.

New Delhi, January 19, 2014: The Ministry of Rural Development has issued a directive to provide 150 days of wage employment under MGNREGA for Scheduled Tribe households living in forest areas. The move will benefit about Eight lakh people in the states like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, The additional 50 days of employment beyond the stipulated 100 days under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) will be applicable to those individuals who got pattas under Forest Rights Act, FRA( 2006). Approximately, 14 lakh individual and community titles have been distributed under FRA 2006. Of these around 8 lakh individual titles have been given in Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa. It is these individuals who will be able to claim the benefit of 150 days.
The Ministry of Rural Development thinks that this is an important initiative since a lot of land-levelling, plantation and other activities are required to be undertaken on these lands to make them more productive. The additional days through MGNREGA will allow the households to undertake additional work on their own land. Further, FRA beneficiaries have already been automatically included for assistance under the Indira Awaas Yojana.
Other initiatives for ensuring effective implementation of MGNREGA in naxal affected areas have also been taken like a convergence project with National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) in 250 most backward blocks of the country. Several of these ST-dominated blocks are located in Naxal districts. The Ministry has also allowed for cash payments of wages in 88 Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts. To proactively register demand, the Ministry has launched Kaam Maango Abhiyan and the project is being implemented in 6 pilot districts including West Singhbhum in Jharkhand and is being upscaled to all naxal affected areas.
Moreover, it has initiated the Governance and Accelerated Livelihood Support project in collaboration with UNDP in 12 naxal affected districts and they are Latehar, Palamu, Gumla and West Singhbhum in Jharkhand, Malkangiri, Koraput, Nuapada and Kalahandi in Odisha and Sukma, Bijapur, Narayanpur, Balrampur in Chhattisgarh. The Project will focus on livelihood assets creation through MGNREGA IN 500 Gram Panchayats in these districts.
Finally, new works have been added to the existing list of permissible works under MGNREGA with a focus to strengthen synergy between MGNREGA and rural livelihoods, particularly in agriculture. Besides ensuring durable quality assets, the expansion of MGNREGA works is likely to improve the socio-economic condition of marginalized section of the society like SC/ST, Small and Marginal farmers, IAY beneficiaries, Forest Right Act beneficiaries etc as most of the new works are now permitted on the land or homestead of specified individual beneficiaries.

Jay Van Arman: A Life Made Full Through Giving Back
I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Jay Van Arman of Norwich this week. He is a man who spends much of his time looking to fill needs in his community. He's driven by his volunteer work with the Norwich Lions Club, and by a desire to give as much as he can to Norwich. Jay shared a piece of advice another local farmer gave him, "Jay," he said, "you get back double what you give." Then, Jay continued, "I think there is a lot of truth to that. So that's why I feel fortunate to live in such a community."
Jay Van Arman has devoted most of his life striving to give what he can to make Norwich a better community. Not long after his new father-in-law passed away and Jay took over operations at the family farm of his wife, Debby Van Arman (previously Pierce), he began driving the school bus for the Norwich School District.
Jay drove the bus from 1971 to 1978, while raising three kids – and a herd of Jersey cows – with Debby. After driving the bus, Jay began to work for the United States Postal Service. At the same time, he was very active in the Norwich Lions Club which is part of one of the largest service organizations in the world. On occasion, they connect with other local chapters to coordinate on events, but mostly the Club focuses on civic volunteerism within the chapter area. He credits the Lions Club with much of his volunteerism since the idea behind the Lions is neighbor helping neighbor.
He served on the Norwich Selectboard as well as the School Board, each for two terms. Jay was also on the Zoning Board. The Norwich Fire Department was lucky enough to have him for 29 years, including a short period he spent as assistant chief. Jay was, and still is, focused on helping create a better town with each small step.
Jay is on the council for the Parish Church and, for some time was also a Justice of the Peace. He understood the idea of giving back as more than just helping Norwich by working on the boards that govern it, but also by providing love and support to those who needed it.
When Jay retired from the Postal Service, one of the first jobs he began immediately after was driving the bus again. "I love kids and I enjoy driving the bus," he said. The image is one that makes me smile. My own young daughter has a bus driver who is much like Jay; it is wonderful to know your child is in safe and happy hands.
Retired or not, Jay did not slow down. He began delivering Meals on Wheels one day a week; a role he took on when another Norwich figure, William Osgood passed away. Jay has been delivering Meals since 2003.
Debby Van Arman shares Jay's volunteer spirit as well, and sometimes they work together in various ways, like keeping up the appearance of the town. Jay is the one who puts up the flags on Main Street for Patriotic holidays, with help from a man named Demo, and he decorates the trees with Christmas lights. Debby plants flowers along Main Street and keeps them watered. She is also very involved with the Norwich Historical Society. Their farm was featured in the 2014 House and Garden Tour.
Debby is also present for much of the work Jay does with the Lions Club, helping out where she can. Once a month, the two of them assist with the Lions Club sponsored dinner at the Listen Center. Jay, taking less credit for himself, reiterated the influence of the Lions Club on his dedication to giving back.
As we spoke more about Norwich, I could hear his love for the town in Jay's voice. He said, "I think people should try to give back to the town they live in. If they live in a town, they should help out wherever they can."

Is it possible to create an overlay plot representing confidence intervals?
I have lower bound and upper bound of the confidence interval for each estimate already available in my data, I just want to draw it using JMP. All the blogs I have found are regarding generating and drawing confidence intervals with JMP. Any help would be very welcome, thank you very much.
Re: Is it possible to create an overlay plot representing confidence intervals?
I'm sure you'll soon get used to JMP.
If you do want to run the code above, then the instructions to do that precede it. The first line to cut starts with '// Fudge . . . ' (the '//' actually denotes a comment line).
But, yes, it's easy to do it interactively. In the Overlay Plot launch dialog, assign the two columns with the upper and lower limits to the 'Y' role, and then the column you want to the 'X' role. When you hit OK, the report appears. Go to the little red triangle at the top of the report (in the 'Overlay Plot' outline node) to select the options you need. You should see 'Range Plot' as one of these.
If you run the code shown below inside a script window you'll get the final result. Uses JMP 11 btw.
Indeed, as Peter says Graph Builder may be a better choice - Possibly I over interpreted the 'overlay plot' in the title of the thread.
As a relative newcomer to JMP, you should be aware that there are almost always many ways to get things done - That's one of its charms . . .

Q: Incorrect Zooming on selected marker I populated my marker by a loop from an array it works fine. Next is I created a button dynamically inside the popup of the marker. now my problem is when I click the button supposed to be it will zoom on the current selected marker but its not. How can I fix that? here is my code
/* Show pop up on click */
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
    infoWindow.setContent(this.content);
    infoWindow.open(this.getMap(), this);

    /* Zoom In from current Marker */

        map.setCenter(marker.position);
        marker.setMap(map);
        map.setZoom(20);
    });

    /* Zoom Out from current Marker */
    $('#zoomout').bind('click', function() {
        map.setCenter(phil);
        map.setZoom(7);

Whole code (working but wrong zoom)

                            Path.setMap(map);
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        });
    });
}

A: Try:
$('#zoomin').bind('click', function() {
    marker.setMap(map);
    map.setZoom(20);
    map.setCenter(marker.position); // Moved after zoom
});

I don't remember if setZoom retains the previous center,so setting center after zoom is safer and more similar to the examples in google maps documentation.

Few clues in disappearance of two northeast Iowa girls
July 15, 2012 By O. Kay Henderson
Volunteers get instructions before searching for missing Evansdale girls.
Hundreds of volunteers spent the weekend searching for two northeast Iowa girls who went missing Friday afternoon.
The girls, who are cousins, were last seen riding their bikes in downtown Evansdale, which is just east of Waterloo. Rick Abben, a chief deputy with the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office, says over 1000 people volunteered Saturday and today over 600 showed up for the search effort.
"It makes you feel good that people are willing to help out and they want to help law enforcement because, you know, everybody pretty much has kids and so everyone is really concerned about it," Abben says, "and we really appreciate their assistance."
The girls' bicycles were found, abandoned, near a lake a couple of hours after the girls went missing. Divers searched the lake and by Sunday afternoon crews dragging through the bottom of the lake were about 80 percent done with that task.
"We really have no indication what happened other than we have two bicycles sitting down at a lake," Abben says.
Boats and search parties were combing a nearby stretch of the Cedar River for clues. There's been an ongoing aerial search of the area, too.
"The search has been expanded and now takes up probably about a five-mile-square area," Abben says. "People on the ground along with dogs and then we also have law enforcement doing house-to-house (searches), making contact with people."
Earlier today, cops and deputies tracked down sex offenders in the area to check their whereabouts on Friday. "Just to rule that out," the deputy sheriff says.
On Monday authorities plan to release the extent of a reward that will be offered to anyone who may have information that would lead authorities to find the girls. When 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey of Waterloo and her cousin, eight-year-old Elizabeth Collins of Evansdale, did not return from their midday bike ride in Evansdale, the family began searching for the girls at two o'clock on Friday afternoon. A volunteer fire fighter found the girls' bicycles about two hours later, along with a cell phone and a bag the younger girl had been carrying, but authorities say that's the last trace they have of the girls.

Q: How undo a merge in a branch from other branch? I have the situation:
Branch DEV was merged in branch ABC long time ago!
After this time the team did a lot of changes in branch ABC, now the team realize the branch DEV was not supposed to be merged in ABC.
So basically we need a new branch without the development code on it and in the same time with all the updates from ABC.
In this case what is the best approach?


*Powder Coating- The cost of this is comparable to liquid, with the benefit of a uniform, durable, high quality finish that is environmentally friendly.
*Powder coating is not indestructible, but it is typically 3 times stronger than liquid paint.
Cast aluminum and magnesium parts may experience out-gassing and or bubbling in the finished powder coating.
Prism Powder Coating will take every precaution to avoid out-gassing, however Prism Powder Coating cannot be held responsible for bubbling caused by porous coatings.

Godzilla goes international in new trailer for "Godzilla: King of the Monsters"
It's an exciting time to be a Godzilla fan, and we have another look at why with the new international trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters...
...Storming into theaters from Legendary Pictures and directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat), Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the second film in a new Godzilla universe, which began with the Gareth Edwards directed Godzilla (2014). In this new film, we'll get to see a whole host of new creatures waging war in an all out Kaiju battle royale, featuring my favorite villain out of the whole damn franchise, King Ghidorah!
In Godzilla: King of the Monsters
"The crypto-zoological agency Monarch faces off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah."
The trailer below looks exactly as epic as the premise promises, and Godzilla fans must be trembling with excitement. The film stars Millie Bobbie Brown, Vera Farmiga, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Charles Dance, and Ken Watanabe.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters roars in on May 31rst, 2019.


Exercising is the number one way for people to lose weight and gain muscle, but now there is a lot of research suggesting that it can also help with everything from depression to memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.
Most of us are aware that when we begin to become more physically active, daily activities become a lot easier. But researchers are looking into what exactly goes on when we are active and how that links to happiness. There is also a connection on how well our workout will go depending on the time of day that we work out.
A recent study from Penn State University found that when you start exercising, your brain recognizes it as a "moment of stress" and as your heart rate increases. Your brain thinks you're either fighting an enemy or fleeing from it. To protect ourselves and brains, our bodies release a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Euphoric Factor) which acts as a reset switch. This is why after working out, whether it be a walk or an intense kick-boxing class, you may feel at ease and even happy.
So what exactly is it that makes us so happy after being physically active? In the study from Penn State University also found that to become less stressed and ultimately happier, we have to do some form physical activity per day no matter how hard or how long the exercise is. The study also unveiled that physical activity is linked to memory.
"Those who had exercised during the preceding month but not on the day of testing generally did better on the memory test than those who had been sedentary, but did not perform nearly as well as those who had worked out that morning," stated the university study.
So it's good to know that we don't need to become professional athletes to feel good, it's actually the opposite. Studies have found that the first 20 minutes of moving around after you have been really inactive provide the most health benefits. So after a long Netflix marathon, get up and go for a quick 20 minute walk or run to get those happy endorphins moving through your brain.
By choosing to do physical activity, not only are you becoming physically healthier, you are also helping your mental health.
Although any physical activity at any time of the day is better than none at all, studies are showing that time of day, body temperature and power input all come in to play as well in terms of the effects of the work-out on our bodies and how we feel afterwards.
Now people can be put into two categories: morning people, and the rest of us. Some people are eager to get up early before work and get in a quick sweat session before most people are even up.
To find out when it's best to work out, you need to know that our body is ruled by rhythms. Sleep cycles, energy levels and body temperature all effect this.
In a study from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, researchers investigated one particular cycle, the circadian cycle and how it affects exercise.
Think of the circadian rhythm as the power house of biological cycles. The circadian is controlled by an internal clock and changes itself based on different stimuli. The stimuli in this case is light, the rising and setting of the sun, but in today's world we can alter this with the advent of electricity.
The study found that a warmed up body is best when exercising, and core body temperatures were lower in the morning than in the evening. This means that those morning workout people may not be reaping all the benefits than if they were to work out later in the day or in the evening.
Lastly, it goes without saying that if you eat junk food and are trying to lose weight … it's just not going to happen. Junk food contains high amounts of fat and sugar which can directly affect your energy levels.
When you eat something that is full of simple sugars like candy, a donut or an energy drink, your blood sugars immediately are raised and you will feel a burst of energy. You will also feel an equally quick crash not long afterwards. You'll get the same energy results you are looking for, and need as a student, if you introduce even a bit of physical activity into your day. You won't feel the horrible crash afterwards like you do when you depend on junk food for a quick energy fix.
As well, if you're trying to gain muscle definition, eating foods with high fat content will make this physically impossible. Because fat accumulates under the skin, and on top of the muscle, even if you exercise daily you will never see the results. Also, muscle growth requires protein, not fats and sugars.
The best thing you can do for your physical and mental health is to become more active. Start out small and work your way up. Your mood will instantly change and you will eventually feel happy and less stressed.
If you are busy, the ideal time to work out is at night anyways, so plan to go for a walk or participate in an outdoor fitness class. Remember not to fill your body with sugary foods that are high in fat. Stick to something simple, like a piece of toast with peanut butter, or if you're on the go grab a quick smoothie. No matter how long your workout is, be sure to fuel your body with the essentials like protein, carbohydrates and water.
