With the 2018 road season getting underway Cyclingnews looks at 10 of the most important rider transfers to watch during the coming campaign.
Transfer mechanics: Elia Viviani to Quick-Step Floors
Warren Barguil: The free spirit
Aru could join Dan Martin and Kristoff in UAE Tour de France super team
Landa: I have to pursue my goals
Focusing on the WorldTour, we've scoured the market to pick riders from Bora-Hansgrohe, Team Sky, Movistar, Katusha-Alpecin and a host of other teams.
Name: Davide Formolo
Speciality: Stage racing
From: Cannondale-Drapac
To: Bora-Hansgrohe
Will it work: Pragmatism appeared to be the golden rule at Cannondale during the second half of the 2017 season with the American team forced to abandon the development of long-term talents in favour of short-term survival. Dylan van Baarle, Alberto Bettiol, and Davide Formolo were all sacrificed with the team opting to keep Rigoberto Uran on a three-year deal.
Whether the 30-year-old can better his second place from last year's Tour remains to be seen but the career trajectory of Formolo certainly looks promising. The 25-year-old had solidified his credentials with back-to-back top-10s in Grand Tours, and although time trialing remains a weakness, his climbing talent is unquestionable. The 2018 season promises more of the same with the Giro d'Italia once again part of his programme. Formolo struggled with illness in the second half of 2017 so will want to hit the ground running at his new team.
Name: Peter Kennaugh
Speciality: All-rounder
From: Team Sky
Will it work: Once tipped as a potential Grand Tour rider, Kennaugh stagnated at Team Sky during his final two years, and bar a stage win at the Criterium du Dauphine in 2017, was rarely given the opportunity to race for himself.
At Bora-Hansgrohe the 28-year-old Manxman will find a better blend of responsibilities, and while at times he will be asked to sacrifice his chances for Peter Sagan and Rafal Majka, he will be afforded chances in a number of WorldTour races.
In a recent interview with Cyclingnews, Kennaugh discussed whether even he himself knew what type of rider he was - given both his eclectic palmares and the lack of service he was provided under Sky's tutelage. The next two years should offer plenty of definition to this rider's career. Few riders have left Team Sky and gone on to bigger and better things, but Kennaugh still has the time and the talent to buck that trend.
Name: Louis Meintjes
From: UAE Team Emirates
To: Dimension Data
Will it work: Having let Meintjes slip through their fingers two years ago Doug Ryder will be over the moon after re-signing South Africa's best stage racing talent.
Meintjes, still just 25, has notched up three top-10s in Grand Tours over the last three seasons and finished eighth in the last two editions of the Tour de France. Although he is not a regular winner, his consistency in a sport dictated by WorldTour points is of real value.
The next step is for the South African climber to turn those top 10s (there were 10 of them in 2017, including GC results) into podiums and wins. For a rider whose last win came in 2015, more is now expected.
Name: Marcel Kittel
Speciality: Sprinting
From: Quick-Step Floors
To: Katusha-Alpecin
Will it work: When Alexander Kristoff began questioning Katusha's faith in him after the spring Classics it was clear that there were issues behind the scenes. On a huge contract, and with a lack of results, it was only a matter of time before the move was made for Kittel and Kristoff was jettisoned.
The German sprinter had a hugely successful 2017 campaign and has arguably been the most consistent sprinter on the planet for two years running. With Marco Haller, Rick Zabel and Nils Politt, Katusha-Alpecin have a ready-made lead-out train and the team finally posses a rider who can carry their Alpecin shampoo campaigns.
On a more serious note, Katusha are a team that appear to moving in the right direction, and in Kittel, they have a focal point to rally to and a rider who can guarantee them a dozen wins throughout the year.
Name: Mikel Landa
To: Movistar
Will it work: There's a significant difference between riding to fourth at the Tour de France and actually wearing yellow into Paris, and although Landa's 2017 Tour performance had many commentators suggesting that he could have won the race, the fact remains that Landa is still somewhat of an enigma when it comes to stage racing.
A switch to Movistar may only cloud the situation even further. Especially if the primary goal of the team was to #freelanda from his domestique duties. Either the Spanish team have lost faith in Nairo Quintana or they believe that signing Landa will help kick-start the Colombian's fading powers.
The fact that even in January we're no closer to knowing who will lead the team in July suggests that there's no clear division of rank. It will certainly make for intriguing racing but having lost vital power from within the Movistar engine room, signing yet another team leader may not have been the best course of action.
Name: Matteo Trentin
Speciality: Sprinting and one-day racing
To: Mitchelton-Scott
Will it work: Mitchelton-Scott do not have the best track record when it comes to signing Italian riders (Ivan Santaromita was their only venture until now) but Trentin should break that mold with his laid-back demeanor and willingness to perform in a number of roles.
That said, the Cyclingnews diarist has been signed with the primary goal of leading the Australian team in the cobbled Classics. The squad has the spine of a strong squad in Mathew Hayman, Jack Bauer, and Luke Durbridge, but Trentin brings a star-quality that could see them compete on another level entirely. While the 28-year-old might not be in quite the same bracket as Sagan and Van Avermaet he has still built up a highly impressive palmares for a rider who was often asked to work for others. If he can reach the spring in his best form and come anywhere close to his 2017 Vuelta a Espana condition then the transfer will be deemed a success.
Name: Dylan van Baarle
Speciality: Classics, potential all-rounder
To: Team Sky
Will it work: Van Baarle has been earmarked as a future Classics winner for some time and it was surprising to see him leave Cannondale-Drapac, especially given the fact that they announced he had re-signed. Their loss is Dave Brailsford's gain.
With Luke Rowe out of the Classics and Geraint Thomas enlisted only for a cameo in Paris-Roubaix, Van Baarle immediately finds himself vying for leadership with Ian Stannard and Gianni Moscon. Stannard was well short of his best in 2017 and Moscon's erratic/unsavory behaviour means that the new Dutch recruit finds himself well placed to capitalise. In 2017 he had his best spring yet with three top-10s including a fourth place in the Tour of Flanders. Winning a Monument might not be on the cards just yet but he has time on his side.
Name: Alexander Kristoff
From: Katusha-Alpecin
To: UAE Team Emirates
Will it work: The 2014 and 2015 seasons saw Kristoff firmly establish himself as one of the most prominent riders in the peloton. Wins in Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Flanders and two stages in the Tour de France warranted a bumper contract with Katusha, but when the wins were replaced by a string of near misses and question marks over his weight it was time to move on.
UAE, with their lavish transfer kitty, were only too willing to tie the Norwegian down for the next two years but the squad are lacking in comparison when it comes to leading Kristoff through sprint finishes. True, the Worlds silver medallist isn't the type of rider who needs a string of riders to guarantee him success but even in the cobbled races UAE look short of options. Roberto Ferrari and Marco Marcato are 33 and 34, respectively, while Manuele Mori – another possible helper – is 38 later this year. Someone like Simone Petelli has shown promise in a number of areas but this is a team that has signed three proven leaders in Kristoff, Fabio Aru, and Daniel Martin without really addressing the foundations around them.
Kristoff is far from a fading force, his win in the European Road Race Championship and his Bergen silver are a testament to that but a ride at UAE may only make things harder for him in 2018.
Name: Warren Barguil
Speciality: Climber
From: Team Sunweb
To: Fortuneo-Samsic
Will it work: If you're going to peak for just three weeks of the year make sure it's at the Tour de France. Barguil's dazzling performance last July netted two stage wins, a polka-dot jersey and 10th overall but what was most refreshing was the Frenchman's willingness to swim against the tide and while so many riders opted for a safety-first approach.
Barguil's Tour ride sparked a move away from Team Sunweb, despite a year remaining on his contract, with Fortuneo willing to make the Frenchman their most prestigious signing to date. On the face of it, the match-up looks perfect. Barguil now has a team around him, entirely dedicated to his needs, while there are no distractions in the form of other GC prospects as there would have been at Sunweb. Having moved out of the WorldTour Barguil can also cherry-pick his races while still taking part in ASO's flagship events.
Before anyone gets too carried away, it's worth remembering that bar the 2017 Tour the Frenchman has been somewhat disappointing over the last two seasons – a fact that wasn't lost on Sunweb when they agreed to let him leave. This might be Barguil's dream move but with it comes the responsibility of a team leader.
Name: Elia Viviani
Speciality: One day racing, sprinting
To: Quick-Step Floors
Will it work: The last spot on this list was a toss-up between Simon Gerrans, Dan Martin, Ian Boswell, Bryan Coquard and Fabio Aru but in the end, we've decided to include Elia Viviani.
The Italian won nine races in 2017, all of which coming after his Giro d'Italia snub from Team Sky. As Chris Froome & Co were shutting down the action in Grand Tours, Viviani and a clique of Team Sky riders including Owain Doull and Jonathan Dibben quietly went about their business winning a clutch of races. They even won that convoluted race where you have to finish off your opponent by catching the Golden Snitch [the Hammer Series -ed].
Viviani's golden touch will be a significant factor for Quick Step Floors, who have lost Marcel Kittel, Matteo Trentin, David de la Cruz, Dan Martin, Julien Vermote, Jack Bauer, Gianluca Brambilla and Martin Velits in the off-season. Collectively those departures accounted for around 25 victories and a top ten at the Tour de France, and although Patrick Lefevere has kept the lion-share of his talent, Viviani will be expected to cover the team's losses.
At 28 this marks a key season for the Italian. Free from the shackles of Team Sky and track obligations, he will have far more opportunities in 2018, and although Fernando Gaviria will rule the roost and target the Tour de France sprints, Viviani will have far greater support than he was afforded in the past.

Local Bitcoin ATMs in Violation of Law, Warns Russian Prosecutor
Russian prosecutors in the state of Tartarstan have issued a warning to a local businessman for installing bitcoin ATMs in two stores.
In a statement last week, the prosecutor's office in Kazan, Tartarstan's capital and largest city, said it "organized a check [investigation]" following media reports of two recently installed bitcoin ATM terminals in the city. On November 3, an article from local Russian publication Business Gazeta put the spotlight on a newly installed ATM at a grocery store. It is unknown if the media report is related to the subsequent investigation.
"It has been established that [the] bitcoin machines were installed in two stores in the Novo-Savinovsky and Privolzhsky districts of Kazan," read an excerpt from the prosecutor's office website. The terminals were installed by a company registered in Bashkortostan, transferred to an unnamed 34-year-old, presumably the owner of the store, under a lease agreement.
Currently, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies aren't deemed legal nor illegal by Russian law. Still, that didn't stop the prosecutor's office from auditing the case of two bitcoin ATMs installed in the city.
An excerpt from the announcement, which points to multiple possible violations, read:
During the audit, the prosecutor's office announced to the businessman an official warning about the inadmissibility of violation of the law. Simultaneously, the information was sent to the Office of the Federal Tax Service for the Republic of Tatarstan to conduct a check for possible violation of cash discipline and other violations of tax legislation, as well as to the prosecutor's office in Ufa- to assess the legality of the activities of the tenant.
The audit and investigation are currently ongoing, according to the prosecutor's office.
The scrutiny over bitcoin ATMs comes after last month's much-publicized remarks from Russian president Putin over concerns with cryptocurrencies. A top-brass meeting between Russian officials and Putin drew up plans to control bitcoin mining in the country followed by a Putin-led mandate to develop a framework for initial coin offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrencies in Russia. President Putin has also called for Russia's own national cryptocurrency, the CryptoRuble.

Q: Quadratic equation solving in Prolog I have wrote a code to solve equation with like terms (eg:- x^2+5*x+6=0). Here 'x' has two values. I can take two values by entering ';'. But I need to get the all possible answers when I run the program at once. Is it possible in prolog?

A: Well for a quadratic equation, if the discriminant is zero, then
there is only one solution, so you can directly compute one or two
solutions, and return them in a list.

The discriminat is the expression under the square root. So the
classical prolog code for a real number solution reads as follows:
solve(A*_^2+B*_+C=0,L) :- D is B^2-4*A*C,
   (D < 0 -> L = [];
    D =:= 0 -> X is (-B)/(2*A), L = [X];
    S is sqrt(D), X1 is (-B-S)/(2*A),
      X2 is (-B+S)/(2*A), L=[X1,X2]).

Here is an example run:
Welcome to SWI-Prolog (threaded, 64 bits, version 8.1.0)

?- solve(1*x^2+5*x+6=0,L).
L = [-3.0, -2.0].

Tom Taylor has accomplished many impressive things with Injustice: Gods Among Us yet I think he may have topped himself with Issue #32. Why? Because he's made Captain Atom into a likeable character without changing the character at all. I normally find the jingoistic heroes who place duty before idealism annoying in the extreme but this issue presents a side of the Captain I don't think any writer has ever captured before.
The battle between Superman and Captain Atom outside the Fortress of Solitude takes up the main portion of the issue. The rest involves a subplot that sees the Fortress of Solitude collapsing in on itself and Green Arrow caught on the inside along with Martha and Jonathan Kent. The way Taylor writes both Dinah Lance and Oliver Queen makes me nostalgic for the good old days and I dearly hope he can find some way to bring the two of them together again on Earth 2 when he takes over that title in a few months.
Jheremy Rappack's artwork perfectly complements Taylor's story. He does over-indulge on the inks in a few panels, which causes some of the details of his pencils to be lost. Thankfully, these moments are few and far between and this tendency actually proves effective in his depiction of Superman, whose face seems lost in shadow as the character himself is lost to a spiritual darkness.
This is a good comic but it is not an ideal jumping-on point for new readers. This should come as no surprise given that this issue is the second chapter of a three-part storyline. Check out last week's issue before getting this one, should you be a newcomer to the wicked world of Injustice.


1. The concurrent sentence doctrine enunciated in Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U. S. 81, 320 U. S. 105, does not constitute a jurisdictional bar to this Court's deciding petitioner's challenge to his larceny conviction, since the possibilities of adverse collateral effects to him from that conviction give the case an adversary cast and make it justiciable. Pp. 395 U. S. 787-791.
2. Regardless of whether the concurrent sentence doctrine survives as a rule of judicial convenience, the doctrine is inapplicable here, since the Maryland appellate court decided not to apply the doctrine, and upheld the larceny conviction despite petitioner's double jeopardy contention, and since the status of petitioner's burglary conviction is still in some doubt. Pp. 395 U. S. 791-793.
3. The double jeopardy prohibition of the Fifth Amendment, a fundamental ideal in our constitutional heritage, is enforceable against the States through the Fourteenth Amendment. Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U. S. 319, overruled. Pp. 395 U. S. 793-796.
"[c]onditioning an appeal on one offense on a coerced surrender of a valid plea of former jeopardy on another offense exacts a forfeiture in plain conflict with the constitutional bar against double jeopardy."
Green v. United States, 355 U. S. 184, 355 U. S. 193-194. Pp. 395 U. S. 796-797.
5. The question raised by petitioner that prejudicial error resulted from the admission at his trial for both burglary and larceny of some evidence that state law made inadmissible in a trial for burglary alone was not decided by the Maryland appellate court, and should now be considered by that court. Pp. 395 U. S. 797-798.


Social networks have recently emerged as the most important modality for inter-personal interactions, communication and information sharing. Examples include services from Facebook, Google+, Linkedin, Twitter, Tinder, OKCupid, etc., each of which has a specific purpose and caters to particular needs, but has some limitations. This thesis proposes a real-time social networking platform that facilitates finding others available to meet or participate on a shared activity during a mutually agreeable time period, accounting for several factors such as availability of users, choice of activities, geographical locations, and/or other preferences. The focus of this research is to design scalable, robust, and efficient algorithms to facilitate social interactions, searching for the most appropriate users from a large database. First, we focused on a single objective, viz., physical distance, and designed an efficient search algorithm that is applicable when user characteristics change constantly with time, and can be readily implemented on mobile devices. Such constraints imply that many traditional search algorithms are too computationally expensive. We proposed an evolutionary algorithm using a small population size and a new recombination operator (HMCC) for this task, accounting for the problem that traditional recombination operators may generate infeasible solutions. The new algorithm outperformed several existing algorithms, and scales well even when the number of users is very large. We then extended this algorithm to a multi-objective optimization context, considering other objectives such as user availability during a time period, and strength of relationship (in a social network) to the user who conducts the search. We developed a new multi-objective algorithm (MONA) for this task, combining aspects of multi-objective versions of evolutionary strategies and genetic algorithms. Experimental simulations with several large datasets showed that the new algorithm performed better than other multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, though not in all cases. Scalability of the algorithm was successfully demonstrated, with very large geographical areas and numbers of users; the number of function evaluations varied linearly with increasing input size. The proposed algorithm, framework and methodology are expected to be useful in many practical applications.

With Daniel Craig suiting up to play James Bond for the fifth and final time, the rumor mill has kicked into overdrive speculating about who will succeed him in the role of 007. This has been a media tradition throughout the franchise's long history ever since Sean Connery retired his license to kill. But while there have only been six actors to (officially) play 007 onscreen, there have been dozens that the media has erroneously labeled as being "the next James Bond." Here then are 25 actors who have been pegged as the Next James Bond … and who never ended up playing Bond (well, not yet anyway for maybe one of them).
IDRIS ELBA: The Dark Tower and Thor actor's name resurfaced recently as Daniel Craig's successor, something the actor already called "a very old rumor" way back in 2011! "I would do it, but I don't want to be called the first black James Bond. Do you understand what I'm saying? Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond," Elba said in 2011. "If [then Bond distributor] Sony decided to call me and said hey, we wanted to do [James Bond], I'd definitely consider it." (Note: Sony is no longer the distributor of the Bond movies and it will be the producers' not the distributor's call on who plays 007.) Many fans certainly want Elba for the role, but they have also said the same thing about …
TOM HARDY: The Fury Road and Venom star's name has come up many times through the years, most often in association with director Christopher Nolan, an avowed Bond fan who has made no secret of his desire to direct a Bond film. While Nolan and Hardy already made their own Bond-esque film with Inception, Hardy was linked with the role again as recently as July 2018. Hardy, for his part, has made cheeky comments about the rumors in interviews and on social media. Time will tell if Hardy ever takes on the secret agent.
TOM HIDDLESTON: The Loki actor has made no secret of his desire to play Bond. The rumors really heated up in 2016 when he reportedly met with EON Productions about the role. Of course, the producers could have just been meeting with Hiddleston as leverage against a then-reluctant to return Daniel Craig. In any case, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli reportedly thought Hiddleston wasn't tough enough for the role, and Daniel Craig eventually signed on for Bond 25.
HENRY CAVILL: The Henry Cavill-James Bond rumor was actually legit at one point. The Superman star was the runner-up for the role back when Casino Royale was being cast but, then at only age 23, he lost out to Daniel Craig. Cavill, however, has made absolutely no secret about still wanting the role, reiterating his interest in it as recently as the Mission: Impossible - Fallout press tour, telling Yahoo!, "I would love to do it of course. I think Bond would be a really fun role. It's British, it's cool. I think that now that I have my Mission: Impossible badge we can do real stunts and really amp it up as well."
CLIVE OWEN: Long before Idris Elba was the actor everyone seemed to believe was the inevitable choice as the next James Bond there was Clive Owen. The actor's tuxedo-clad turn in the late '90s film Croupier kicked off years' worth of rumor-mongering that he would succeed Pierce Brosnan as 007. Even now, at age 53, Owen still gets asked about the chances he'll be the next James Bond despite having said he was never even offered the role to begin with.
CHRISTIAN BALE: Bale's name first surfaced in 2002 as a possible replacement for Pierce Brosnan, with the actor reportedly saying at a convention that he'd be open to playing the role. In 2014, however, Bale shot down old reports that he was offered the role before Daniel Craig.
MICHAEL FASSBENDER: While the X-Men and Prometheus actor had long been rumored as Daniel Craig's successor, he essentially ruled himself out of the running in a 2016 interview: "No, I think the franchise needs something new." Fassbender praised Craig for having done "a cracking job" with the role.
HUGH JACKMAN: The Wolverine actor was rumored for the role quite a bit during the 2000s, but last year he admitted to Variety that he'd actually turned down the part years earlier: "I was about to do X-Men 2 and a call came from my agent asking if I'd be interested in Bond. I just felt at the time that the scripts had become so unbelievable and crazy, and I felt like they needed to become grittier and real. And the response was: 'Oh, you don't get a say. You just have to sign on.' I was also worried that between Bond and X-Men, I'd never have time to do different things." The timing of Jackman's approach would have coincided with the release of Pierce Brosnan's final Bond film, Die Another Day, in 2002.
DAMIAN LEWIS: The Billions actor has been a reported "next James Bond" since his days on Homeland, with bookies reportedly naming him the odds-on favorite for the role back in 2015. When asked about the rumors in 2017, Lewis quipped, "By the time they make a decision [on Bond] I'll be dead. … So no one need worry any more."
GERARD BUTLER: The 300 star has fielded countless questions through the years about possibly playing James Bond, ultimately telling the press in 2009 that he wasn't interested in the part: "I enjoy doing an array of films. If I was to play Bond, that would quickly stop. How likely would I be accepted doing those roles after having played Bond?" Butler later accepted roles in Geostorm and Gods of Egypt.
DOUGRAY SCOTT: The Mission: Impossible 2 actor confirmed in a 2004 interview that years of Bond rumors were true. Scott said he was approached for the role back when it looked like Pierce Brosnan was going to bail on the franchise but then he decided to do one last Bond film with Die Another Day.
DAN STEVENS: The Beauty and the Beast star was first linked with the role back during his Downton Abbey days, but it was his lean, mean, butt-kicking turn in The Guest that led the press to proclaim him "the next James Bond." But then Daniel Craig signed back on for one more go as 007 …
LUKE EVANS: Dan Stevens isn't the only Beauty and the Beast star who's been linked as a frontrunner for the role. Luke Evans was reportedly on the shortlist to replace Daniel Craig in 2016 before the latter signed on for one last film.
GORAN VISNJIC: The Croatian native and ER actor screen-tested back in 2005 for Casino Royale and was reportedly a favorite of director Martin Campbell's. The role went to Daniel Craig, of course.
JAMES NORTON: The McMafia and Happy Valley actor was reportedly eyed for the role back in 2016 before Craig signed on for Bond 25. Norton told the press in July 2018, "I would love to play a Bond villain. I love Daniel Craig and I'd love him to do more films. He's brought a whole other angle to the character — and long may that continue. But people love to speculate."
ERIC BANA: The Aussie actor, who parlayed his acclaimed turn in the true crime flick Chopper into lead roles in Hulk and Troy, was a reported frontrunner to succeed Pierce Brosnan after Die Another Day. Bana repeatedly denied the rumors back in 2004, and his co-star in Munich, Daniel Craig, won the role in the 2006 reboot Casino Royale.
EWAN McGREGOR: The Star Wars and Trainspotting actor reportedly turned down the role of 007 back when Casino Royale was gearing up, but his views on the opportunity have evolved since then. "I think it would be quite cool to play James Bond," McGregor told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015. "At this stage in my career (being typecast) is not really an issue anymore. Early on, when you start off you don't want your horizons to be narrow, but I think people know I have some kind of width in my work, so I'm really not worried about that anymore."
AIDAN TURNER: The Poldark star reportedly had preliminary meetings with Bond producers back in 2016. After Daniel Craig ended up agreeing to return for Bond 25, Turner informed the British press in 2018, "There's someone else playing the role at the moment, but when it's free I'll have a look at it."
SAM WORTHINGTON: Before he starred in the highest-grossing movie of all time, Avatar, Worthington was one of the finalists who did costumed screen tests for Casino Royale along with Daniel Craig and Henry Cavill.
JUDE LAW: The Sherlock Holmes and future Captain Marvel actor was a much talked about contender back in the early 2000s before Daniel Craig took on the role in Casino Royale. "To be really honest, I don`t know if it`s for me," Law said of the role in 2003.
JAMIE BELL: The Fantastic Four and Turn actor made headlines as a Bond contender in 2016 when he reportedly met with producer Barbara Broccoli about the role. Broccoli and Bell were making the movie Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool at the time, and the producer was said to have been a fan of Bell's for sometime.
ALEX O'LOUGHLIN: The star of Hawaii 5-0 and Man-Thing (yes, there was a TV movie based on the Marvel comic) told the press he did a full costume screen test for Casino Royale but that he was probably too young for the role at the time.
RORY McCANN: Long before playing Sandor "The Hound" Clegane on Game of Thrones, the Scottish actor reportedly screen-tested for the role of Bond back in 2005 for Casino Royale.
JULIAN McMAHON: The Doctor Doom and Nip/Tuck actor said back in 2004 that he'd been "in talks" for the role but later reportedly passed on the role due to his TV commitments.
JAMES PUREFOY: The Following and Rome actor was an oft-reported Bond contender years ago, first for GoldenEye and later Casino Royale. Purefoy said in a 2006 interview that he blew his audition for Casino Royale, believing the producers probably saw him as "Brosnan Lite".
The Next James Bonds Who Never Played 007


As the battle over GMO labeling plays out in supermarkets and in Congress, the definition of genetically modified organisms is fuzzier than ever. GMO regulation—insofar it exists in the US—relies on old statutes for plant pests, animal drugs, and pesticides repurposed for GM technology. The rules never worked well, and new, precise gene-editing techniques are stretching them to the breaking point.
When the Reagan administration cobbled together the first GM rules in the 80s, the primary technique for creating GM crops involved a soil microbe called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The bacterium can sicken crops by inserting its own DNA into plant cells, but scientists learned to coax it to insert any piece of DNA—genes for proteins poisonous to insects, for example—to create genetically modified crops. In the beginning, then, the US Department of Agriculture regulated GMOs as potential plant pests or noxious weeds.
But new and more precise genetic engineering techniques don't need Agrobacterium, allowing them to sidestep USDA regulation. Researchers can, for example, freely plant crops with genes knocked out with TALENs, or transcription activator-like effector nucleases. And Monsanto is studying how to spray RNA into fields to block the expression of certain plant genes—without directly modifying the plant. These technological advances are fast making the old regulations obsolete. "We've basically got a gaping hole in the USDA's jurisdiction," says Alison Peck, an agricultural law professor at West Virginia University.
The regulatory loopholes don't end with the USDA. Unlike in Europe, which has a central authority on food biotech, responsibility for GMOs in the US is fractured among three separate agencies. The USDA regulates GMOs it considers potential plant pests or noxious weeds, and the EPA regulates crops engineered to carry a insect-killing toxin under pesticide rules. Lastly, the FDA has a "voluntary consultation" process but generally considers all GM plants safe to eat. "Based on the technology at the time, the rules arguably were sufficient," says Peck. But in 2015? Not so much.
The feds recognize the dilemma. The USDA in February scrapped a proposed GMO regulation rule that had been languishing since 2008. And in July, the White House directed the three agencies to rehaul their GMO rules—or at least begin the process for doing so. "It's starting this year, and then it will go on forever," says Ron Sederoff, a plant geneticist at North Carolina State University who is studying how to bioengineer trees. His frustration at the politicized regulatory process is a common refrain among scientists.
New genetic engineering methods are circumventing regulations, but they're also dredging up a more fundamental question: Should GMOs be regulated based on the process used to create them or the the novelty of the DNA sequence?
This question is now urgent thanks to rapid introduction of gene editing techniques like TALENs and an even newer, more hyped technology called CRISPR. Both techniques allow scientists to make precise tweaks, deleting a few letters to inactivate a gene or rewriting a few to recreate a naturally occurring mutation. But they each have their own risks and benefits: The newer technique, CRISPR, is especially prone to making off-target mutations, and while biotech companies should do DNA sequencing to catch these mutations, not much regulation exists in this area.
Perhaps more importantly, though, those techniques have made it easier to create new, distinct categories of GMOs. Animals or plants can be modified to lack a gene, modified to contain a gene from the same species but different breed, or modified to contain genes from a different species entirely.
Traditionally, most GMOs have belonged to the last category, called "transgenic" because it mixes genes from different species. But last week's 10th international Transgenic Animal Research Conference in Davis, California featured plenty of presentations about non-transgenic genetic engineering. Earlier this year, Korean biologists used TALENs to create a super muscular pig lacking a single gene inhibiting muscle growth. The pig is genetically engineered, yes, but it doesn't contain any foreign genes.
Non-transgenic GMOs—especially those that involve deleting genes instead of adding them—may seem like they need less regulation, but that's not necessarily the case, says Peck. Even a single gene deleted can have multiple effects. It could, say, make pigs bigger, but how might it affect pigs under heat or disease stress?
Recombinetics, a biotech modifying livestock to promote animal welfare, is hoping to avoid that kind of regulatory purgatory, because its GMOs only share intra-species DNA. "Of course it's a business concern," says Mark Walton, Recombinetics' chief marketing officer.
One of the company's projects takes the hornless mutation in Angus cattle and puts it in other breeds, like Holsteins. (Dairy farmers routinely dehorn cows for safety, but it's painful for the animal.) Its genetic tweak—using TALENs or CRISPR technology—creates cows that are 100-percent cow DNA, recombined from different breeds.
Regulations tailored to GMOs have been thirty years in coming, and the current rehaul will undoubtedly take a long time. Hopefully, not so long that the new regulations are obsolete again by the time they're ready.


Molly and Robin Snow are sisters, and like all sisters they share a deep bond that sustains them through good times and bad. Their careers are flourishing–Molly is a horticulturist and Robin is a world-class runner–and they are in the prime of their lives. So when Molly receives the news that Robin has suffered a massive heart attack, she couldn't be more shocked. At the hospital, the Snow family receives a grim prognosis: Robin may never regain consciousness.
As Robin's parents and siblings struggle to cope, the complex nature of their relationship is put to the ultimate test. Molly has always lived in Robin's shadow, and her feelings for her have run the gamut, from love to resentment and back. The last time they spoke, they argued. But now there is so much more at stake. Molly's parents fold under the devastating circumstances, and her brother retreats into the cool reserve that is shattering his own family. It's up to Molly to make the tough decisions, and she soon makes discoveries that destroy some of her most cherished beliefs about the sister she thought she knew.


Throughout the Middle Ages, nothing was subtle when it came to getting a prisoner to talk.
Within the museum you will find the main instruments of torture used at the time to make a person suspected of crimes, witchcraft or conspiracy confess.
You will find yourselves in front of the eyes of the penal colony, the quills, the vice or the rat cage.
There are also instruments for decapitation such as the guillotine or for punishments such as the pillory, in addition to the torture collar and so many more, all for you to discover!

Why the changes i've made on my profile info (https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?action=profile;area=forumprofile;u=your number) are marked as accepted, i can see them refreshing forum pages, but after a while they are reverted back to the old ones???
Actually the new mail remains changed, but the other info don't.
Se è stupido ma funziona allora non è stupido.
Be (more) specific. What data is reverted? After how long?
If you are making changes to add a signature with a URL, and that is not accepted, there are good reasons for that.
Tried without signature, same behavior.
The reverted data are (at least): Personal Text, Website title and Website URL.
Still receive the "Your profile has been updated successfully." green message and can see the new info in the posted messages.
Data are reverted back after 30-60 min.
Pick one. Change it. Report what happens after ~1 hour.
Everything was empty except "personal text", which was "abc".
By some miracle, it eventually stuck but other people have reported still having the same issue.
I'd like make a modification to my URL but I'm afraid to mess with it. The original intention was to link to my projects on GitHub but they are now mixed in with my collection of >1500 forked repositories for pull requests that haven't been merged yet.
I never tried to add personal text so I can't say whether that was a problem in my case.
What happens if you only add the personal text and leave the website fields empty?
You can be sure that if the same level of effort was put into the payroll system that issued paychecks to the Arduino team as is put into the forum, the size of the Arduino team would drop sharply. Maybe then those that remained would pay SOME attention to the forum (software).
I wasn't too surprised when nobody took notice of my issue report. Later, when ffissore (one of the lead IDE developers at that time) bumped the issue, labeled it a critical bug, assigned it to an employee, and it still was ignored for years; that was a bit amazing to me. I understand sometimes there are tricky bugs that nobody knows how to fix. But if so, at least they could take a couple of minutes to write a response to that effect within a month or two.

Walton, John H. Job The NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2012.
Walton does theology by avoiding easy, cliched answers. It pays off in his commentary on Job. Although he is criticized for reading Ancient Near Eastern culture into the biblical text, Walton doesn't actually do that. He goes to great pains to show how Job is different from ANE (Walton pp.33-37).
Ancient Near Eastern thought believed in "The Great Symbiosis." We provide sacrifices for the gods and in return they protect us. If bad things happen to us, it's probably because either a) that's just how the cosmos is, or b) we made a ritual faux pas. Walton points out that the justice of a particular god is irrelevant. A god might be interested in promoting justice in a city, but ancient man had no reason to believe that the god himself is just.
This places "Satan's" challenge in a new context. If the Great Symbiosis is true, and there is a strict "Retributive Principle" at work, then Satan is right. If Job even concedes that the evil has come as a result of Job's sin, and in doing so expects God to restore the balance, the Challenger wins. By the end of the book we are affirmed in believing that God is just. The point of the book, however, is that wisdom, not justice, should be the epistemological foundation. We see God's wisdom in the cosmos.
This book is unique among the NIVAC set in that Walton allows one of his former students to tell her story concerning a crippling nerve injury she had. It reads like a novel. Walton ends with some moving meditations about God's will and suffering.
The ancient world believed the cosmos was ordered. However, within this ordered cosmos are spheres of disorder. Eden was an ordered cosmos, but not so the area outside Eden.
We do not always see God's justice. The book of Job, however, promises us God's wisdom. As Walton notes, "God has ordered the cosmos by his wisdom; justice is one of his attributes, but the cosmos do not always mirror his justice. Wisdom is at the heart of order" (Walton 411).
Who are the "sons of God?" Walton correctly identifies the bene elohim as divine council members (64). They are not angels. Angels have a messenger function, whereas these have an administrative function.
Who is Satan? This is tricky. While Walton offers a lucid commentary on the morphology of the term, he muddies the waters by bringing in passages from Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. Let's say for the sake of argument this is the "devil." You could never make that case from Job 1. This "challenger" isn't cast out from heaven. Nothing he says is evil (in fact, he makes a good case against the pagan ANE mindset of the time). All of that is true.
Walton, however, goes out of his way to prove that the "devil-figure" can't be placed in the Isaiah and Ezekiel passages. This is irrelevant. I think he is wrong, but he does make a good case that since Ezekiel calls him "a cherub," he can't be the Serpent of Eden. That's true. If anything, the Nachash would have been a seraph.
4:15 is a reference to Zaqiq, the dream god (157). This would explain why when talking of the wind, Eliphaz mentions "a form before him."
9:5-9 gives a beautiful description of cosmic geography. We have reference to the 'pillars of the earth,' implying a flat disc. The stars are "sealed" away (v. 7).
19. When Job asks for a mediator, does he mean Christ? Probably not. Job wanted a mediator to prove his innocence. Christ mediates for us precisely because we aren't innocent!
25:5-6: The Realm of the Rephaim. The Rephaim are either the royal dead or quasi-demonic beings (or both). While they live in the underworld, Job identifies one of the access points as "beneath the waters." Walton suggests that the language is the "cosmic waters," rather than regular ocean water (250). This makes sense, otherwise we could access Sheol via submarine.
Walton correctly notes that eres can mean underworld in several locations (1 Sam. 28:13; Job 10:21-22; Eccl. 3.21; Isaiah 26:19; Jonah 2.6). Netherworld works instead of "earth" because it would be the opposite of the "heights of Zaphon."
28:11: Sources of the Rivers. In Ugaritic literature the high god El dwells "at the source of the rivers" (Walton 286). Genesis 2 speaks of the origin of the four rivers coming from a sacred space (Eden). The origin of wisdom, then, is a cosmic mystery. There are several personifications in this passage:
Deep (tehom)
Sea (Yamm)
Abbadon (Destruction; Gk. Apollyon, personified as an evil Angel in Revelation 9). While Abbadon could be an evil entity, we need to be careful about reading later demonology into this passage.
Nota Bene: Elihu mentions the spirit of God. We should be careful not to read a full Nicene theology into that phrase. For Elihu (and much of the Old Testament) the spirit of God is seen more as an extension of God's presence than a separate person (though, of course, it is not contradictory to the later idea of the Spirit's being a distinct person). Further, the spirit of man is "on loan" from God (Walton 376).

Q: JGraphX is ruining the bounds of Swing-components I am trying to implement an interaction between some self-written GUI-Elements (like Java-swing Buttons) and JGraphX. In order to do that, I first just want to display a Button next to a JGraph-Element - and I'm stuck.
My code to display the Button itself works fine:
import javax.swing.*;

public class HelloWorld extends JFrame {

public HelloWorld()
    {
         super("Everything works");
    }

public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        hello_world frame = new hello_world();
        frame.setTitle("bub");

        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(400, 200);

        button.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 50);

        frame.setVisible(true);

        frame.add(button);
    }
}

But as soon as I am adding the JGraph-Component, the Button ist displayed fullscreen. I have no Idea why and how to prevent that. My Code:
import javax.swing.*;

import com.mxgraph.swing.mxGraphComponent;
import com.mxgraph.view.mxGraph;

public class HelloWorld extends JFrame {

    private mxGraph graph;
    private Object window;

    public HelloWorld()
    {
        super("Nothing works");

        graph = new mxGraph();
        window = graph.getDefaultParent();

        graph.getModel().beginUpdate();

        try
        {
            Object v2 = graph.insertVertex(window, null, "Hello World!", 200, 150, 80, 30);

        }
        finally
        {
            graph.getModel().endUpdate();
        }

        mxGraphComponent graphComponent = new mxGraphComponent(graph);
        getContentPane().add(graphComponent);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        hello_world frame = new hello_world();

        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(400, 200);

        JButton button = new JButton("left");
        button.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 50);

        frame.setVisible(true);

        frame.add(button);
    }

}

The result looks like this (I manually resized the window to show you the button. Naturally, the button would just fill the space behind the JGraph-Component and therefor would be invisible):

A: Swing uses layout managers. The default layout manager for a JFrame is the BorderLayout. When you add a component to the frame the default constraint used is BorderLayout.CENTER. Only a single component can be added to the CENTER of the BorderLayout.
The setBounds(...) will only work temporarily. As soon as the frame is resized the layout manager is invoked and the button will be given the new size/location based on the rules of the layout manager.
The solution is to use layout managers properly. I'm not sure what layout you are trying to achieve so all I can suggest is that you read the Swing tutorial on Layout Managers for working examples to get you started. Then you can nest panels with different layout managers to achieve your desired effect.
Start with something simple like:
frame.add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
frame.setVisible(true);
//frame.add(button);

The above will display your graph in the center of the frame and the button at the bottom.

Waiting on Grace: A Theology of Dialogue
Michael Barnes
学術・一般書 > 宗教 > Christianity > Christianity
Whereas much theology of religions regards 'the other' as a problem to be solved, this book begins with a Church called to witness to its faith in a multicultural world by practising a generous yet risky hospitality. A theology of dialogue takes its rise from the Christian experience of being-in-dialogue. Taking its rise from the biblical narrative of encounter, call and response, such a theology cannot be fully understood without reference to the matrix of faith that Christians share in complex ways with the Jewish people. The contemporary experience of the Shoah, the dominating religious event of the 20th Century, has complexified that relationship and left an indelible mark on the religious sensibility of both Jews and Christians. Engaging with a range of thinkers, from Heschel, Levinas and Edith Stein who were all deeply affected by the Shoah, to Metz, Panikkar and Rowan Williams, who are always pressing the limits of what can and cannot be said with integrity about the self-revealing Word of God, this book shows how Judaism is a necessary, if not sufficient, source of Christian self-understanding. What is commended by this foundational engagement is a hope-filled 'waiting on grace' made possible by virtues of empathy and patience. A theology of dialogue focuses not on metaphysical abstractions but on biblical forms of thought about God's presence to human beings which Christians share with Jews and, under the continuing guidance of the Spirit of Christ, learn to adapt to a whole range of contested cultural and political contexts.

We're working towards an Archer III release this month. The Duchess is a little further out.
A demo would come after release.
As you'll have guessed it won't be out this month. Mid October probably now. Sorry for the brief delay.
The Archer III is released already, came out last week.
oh i don't about that but thanks for you quick response.
oh i don't about that but thanks pec result for you quick response.


The commissioned sculpture is complete. The customer wanted something light, airy, and unobtrusive because of the great views she has from her apartment at Goodale Landing. She wanted a little bit of red in it in some fashion so that it would just grab your attention at a glance. I proposed red stained glass and I think it hit the mark! The piece is hand brushed aluminum with 3 coats of Ever Clear urethane resin, this no doubt will be bullet proof inside or out. It was such a joy to make this piece for the collector and I am humbled that she chose me to craft it for her. I hope she enjoys the sculpture for years to come.

[POLL] How Much Time Do You Spend Job Searching Every Day?
This poll was inspired by a surprising recent survey.
How much time do you spend job searching every day?
Yes, according to a study by Harper's Index that I heard about on the Diggings blog, American job seekers are so lazy, unmotivated and depressed that they probably spend more time daily complaining about their job search than actually doing something about it.
I do think people in general spend less time job searching than they should, but the only way such a number could be that low is because it's an average of people who are spending hours job searching every day, and people who are spending no time job searching every day.
So what about you: how much time do you spend job searching every day?

[POLL] How Much Time Do You Spend Job Searching Every Day?: This poll was inspired by a surprising recent survey.
That is not a real job search. That is a hobby. Actually, we spend more time on our hobbies than that.
I wrote a blog post about how a 10 hour a week job search was completely insufficient, which got a lot of passionate commentary – you can see it here.
.-= Jason Alba´s last blog article was Upgrades to JibberJobber from Last Week =-.
I really don't think it has anything to do with being lazy. Job searching is simply put, bad for the soul! One spends hours in front of the computer, applying for any and everything that one feels that one could possibly manage to do. With the full knowledge that every job you apply for has received another 100-200 applications.
You tell yourself that you are multi-talented, great and would be an asset to any company or organisation. But every day it becomes harder to believe…You volunteer somewhere, or go visit friends at work and you notice how few really dedicated people there are out there. How many people slack off, spend hours on facebook, twitter, their phone etc – yet they have a job and a salary and you feel totally unemployable!!!!
There are times when you decide that for your mental health and for the wellbeing of your familoy and realtionships, you need to stay away from the job search for a few hours, a day or so… all the while knowing that that is unproductive. Ah!! So there you are again- Murphy's law!!!
This post was mentioned on Twitter by salivates: [POLL] How Much Time Do You Spend Job Searching Every Day?: This poll was inspired by a surprising recent survey.
Job searching is an endless daily task, which for the most part, is unproductive, as the results are basically the same day in & day out. Its tiresome and frustrating to continually search for jobs that only turn out to be a hoax, want you to pay to work for them, or are wanting you to have more degrees than a University even has; yet offer you minimum wage with a multitude of duties.
I don't think that the majority of people are lazy, I think they are fed up with the constant dead-end they keep running up against.
Hmmm. Lazy? I work with many clients from across the US and they're certainly not lazy. They have a lifestyle that they must be able support and are doing everything to find a job.
There are some job seekers who simply do not have a good job search strategy. And, if they're just posting their resume to online job sites, they are missing plenty of opportunities.
I wonder how many job seekers realize that if they have no job, their top priority is to find a job. In essence, their job is to find a job.

Is "To Be" a Sign of a Passive Sentence?
A lot of people think all sentences that contain a form of the verb "to be" are in passive voice, but that isn't true. For example, the sentence "I am holding a pen" is in active voice, but it uses the verb "am," which is a form of "to be." The passive form of that sentence is "The pen is being held by me."
Notice that the subject, the pen, isn't doing anything in that sentence. It's not taking an action; it's passive. One clue that your sentence is passive is that the subject isn't taking a direct action.
Is Passive Voice Always Wrong?
Passive voice isn't wrong, but it's often a poor way to present your thoughts.
Another important point is that passive sentences aren't incorrect; it's just that they often aren't the best way to phrase your thoughts. Sometimes passive voice is awkward and other times it's vague. Also, passive voice is usually wordy, so you can tighten your writing if you replace passive sentences with active sentence.
When you put sentences in passive voice, it's easy to leave out the person or thing doing the action. For example, "Amy is loved," is passive. The problem with that sentence is that you don't know who loves Amy.
Politicians often use passive voice to intentionally obscure the idea of who is taking the action. Ronald Reagan famously said, "Mistakes were made," when referring to the Iran-Contra scandal. Other examples of passive voice for political reasons could include "Bombs were dropped," and "Shots were fired." Pay attention to the news and listen for examples of passive voice.
Also, a reader named Matthew commented that businesses sometimes use passive voice. He notes that it sounds better to write, "Your electricity will be shut off," than "We, the electric company, will be shutting off your power."
Is Passive Voice Hard to Understand?
A recent study suggests that less educated people--those who dropped out of school when they were 16--have a harder time understanding sentences written in the passive voice than those written in active voice. I only had access to the press release, not the original study, but the results made it seem as if you should stick with active voice if you're writing for the general population.

Mr. Schnabel, when does a work of art become important in your opinion? Do you need external confirmation, or is it something explicitly personal?
I don't think something is important just because an audience likes it. Most people make art and movies as a job and if a lot of people go to see it they make money and that is their sign of success. I am not making judgment here, but their goal is strictly business-oriented. I don't do this as a business.
So commercial success doesn't interest you?
Do I think it's good if people like it? I have to like it. If I think that something is good, it is fine. I mean Gladiator came out when my movie Before Night Falls came out. Gladiator won the Acadamy Award, Russell Crowe won the Acadamy Award. Would I rather be Ridley Scott? No. Do I think Javier Bardem's performance was better than Russell Crowe's, although Russell is an excellent actor? Yes. Javier Bardem's performance was better. Did we win the Oscar? No. Does it matter? No. I mean he was the first Spanish actor to ever be nominated for an Academy Award. What does that say about the Academy? There is a level of chauvinism over there; it's a club.
Do you think your indifference to the system has actually made you more successful?
But what you can admit is that you made quite an interesting transition from acclaimed artist to successful filmmaker. How did that come about?
I thought:If I feel like I should do it, I should do it. I shouldn't worry that the art world is going to say, "Oh, Schnabel thinks that we're not good enough for him, he is going to make movies now. The art world is not big enough, he's going to make movies." Then when the people liked the movies they said, "Oh, now he is a better movie director than a painter." But that's not really true. I happened to do it just the same way as some artists write letters. Van Gogh wrote letters and so we have a book of his letters to Theo. It is a great thing to have. The guy is a painter but he happened to write good letters also.
Are you interested in bringing the film and the art world a bit closer together? During the 2010 Toronto Film Festival you premiered with the exhibition Julian Schnabel: Art and Film which seemed to aim at that.
Maybe it should have just been called Paintings That Have Something To Do With Film. I think the idea was that maybe people from the film world would go and see the museum and it would bring these worlds together. I don't care if those worlds are together or not. My attitude toward it is similar to the way Joseph Beuys left the Kunstakademie open so anyone who wanted to come, anyone who was interested in art, could come. Whatever brings somebody in so they can have an art experience is a healthy thing.
Do you prefer filmmaking or painting more?
I prefer to paint; I don't have to translate anything. I don't have to know if it is good or bad while I am working. I don't want to think when I am working. Even if I am making a movie, I get to a point where I throw the script away. I know what I want people to do and ultimately it is a spontaneous kind of activity. They need to be able to feel comfortable enough to trust me so they can do something and know I won't let them get hurt. They end up feeling that way and that is why the movies are good. But I prefer to paint.
Unlike painting, movie making is extremely collaborative. Do you have to fight to get your way sometimes?
I am my biggest critic. I have final cut on my films and I don't care how much money they ultimately make. If I would have made The Diving Bell and the Butterfly in English, it would have made more money. But it wouldn't be the movie that I wanted to make and I think the other people in charge had to swallow that when I told them about my intent to make a French movie. The guy is French and I am not going to have French people watching American people making believe they are French in France and then they are reading French subtitles.
We knew you were a talented filmmaker and painter, but we didn't know about your photographic skills until you recently toured the world with a Polaroid exhibition.
First of all, I didn't intend to be a photographer and I didn't intend to be a movie director. I am not a photographer, but I took photographs. And the photographs that I took are very physical; they are like paintings in a way.
Why did you start taking pictures in the first place?
Because I was dissatisfied with how my work looked when it was photographed by other people. I wanted to show the way paintings look inside places where I am working. So I was taking these pictures over the past eight years and I didn't have any intention to show them and this woman came and looked at them and said: do you think we can show those photographs? So to cut it short: was Stanley Kubrick a photographer? No. He was a movie director. But he took photographs that are a gift to see.
Are you in a way proud of all these different careers?
I don't have a career as a photographer and I don't want a career as a movie director, and I don't have a career as a painter.
You don't have a career?
No, I never thought of art as a career. I thought it was more like a monastic practice. It is something that you do – you can't not do it. If I made money doing it, I would do it; if I didn't make any money, I would do it.
Could you live without art?
If I never made another movie, I probably could live okay. I made the movies that I made, I think I did a good job, but if I couldn't paint, I don't know what I would do. If I couldn't paint, I think I would be a problem. I would definitely be a problem to the people who have to put up with me, live with me, deal with me. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I would go surfing I guess and live in the jungle or something like that. You know, obviously I'm not perfect but the thing I am best at is painting.

Japanese star Kid Yamamoto died
Yamamoto had just reported at the end of last month that he was suffering from cancer. Strong spirit of Yamamoto made him use all his energy to battle the disease. Moreover, he wished to come back to MMA if he could win the greatest battle of his life. Unfortunately, the star lost that fight.
Kid Yamamoto was born in 1977 in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. Few would have imagined that Norifumi Yamamoto would turn into a legend of MMA. But this is precisely what occurred and the Japanese mixed martial arts scene has become even due his success. The man who would soon be known under the pseudonym Kid Yamamoto his career in the mixed martial arts at the beginning of 2000s, after defeating Masato Shiozawa.
Yamamoto had to enter lightweight section of K-1 and its parent enterprise Hero's. At 5'4, Yamamoto was obviously short for the section. However, he made it to be the 2005 Hero's Middleweight (75 kg) Grand Prix winner. It is impossible to forget the amazing 4-second knockout that Yamamoto brought to Kazuyuki Miyata in spring 2006.

India Orders Military To Prepare For War If Chinese Escalate Situation
India told its armed forces on Monday to prepare for war in the wake of escalating conflict with China along the Line Of Actual Control (LAC), which is the long-disputed border between India and China. In addition, the India Navy has also been given orders to deploy its assets near the Malacca Strait, and, if needed, anywhere else in the Indo-Pacific to counter the Chinese, the India Economic Times reported.
This follows a bloody conflict between the two Asian powers for the first time in 40 years with the killing of dozens of troops from India and China along the contested border of both countries in the Himalayas. The situation spurred after a failed diplomatic meeting in Galwan River valley, in the Himalayas region of Ladakh.
Economic Times further reports that not only has India's Navy been ordered to prepare for the worst but its "Air Force assets, including fighters, too have been moved up to forward locations."
The Times of India corroborated the Economic Times claims, stating that Indian forces are currently in a "warlike alert." In addition, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is also seeking a go-ahead to purchase 33 fighter aircrafts from Russia, according to reports. These will include 12 Sukhoi 30 MKI and 21 Mig-19 fighter jets.
Both countries counterparts Wang Yi and Indian diplomat Subrahmanyam Jaishankar recently discussed the situation via a phone call with both coming to an agreement that the conflict needs to "cool down," Al-Jazeera reports.
While things have thus far calmed down according to China, India is still on alert for potential war responses in case of the worst case scenario. Hindustan Times also reports that China although the country has said it doesn't want war, has begun cyberattacks against Indian infrastructure including government information websites and financial services like ATMs.
China stated the overall situation was "stable and controllable," between the two nations on Thursday through its Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
"We believe that guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders, China and India can properly deal with the current situation, jointly uphold peace and stability in the border areas, and ensure a sound and steady development of bilateral relations," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a press briefing.
Lijian added in the press release that the two sides are in close communication aiming to solve the problems via diplomatic and military channels without any more conflict, the spokesperson told reporters.
"As the world's two largest developing countries and emerging economies, China and India have far more common interests than differences. The two sides should follow the important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries and ensure that China-India relations move in the right direction in line with the interests and expectations of both nations," said Zhao.
However, China's spokesperson still blamed India for the dispute stating:
"The whole thing happened because India's frontline troops, in violation of the agreement reached at the Commander-level meeting, once again crossed the Line of Actual Control for deliberate provocation, and even violently attacked the Chinese officers and soldiers who went to the terrain for negotiation, thus triggering fierce physical conflicts and causing casualties," Zhao said.
According to Hindustan Times, Indian and Chinese gathered in the Himalayas, led by major generals, met on Thursday near Patrol Point 14 in Galwan Valley as part of military commitments to de-escalate tensions on the disputed border. This was the seventh meeting between Major General Abhijit Bapat, commander of Karu-based headquarters 3 Infantry Division, and his Chinese counterpart since the stand-off began in early May, and the third after Monday night's clash that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
The Guardian reports that China also released 10 Indian soldiers they had captured as hostages after an agreement on the release was reached at major general-level talks between the Indian Army and China's People's Liberation Army. China also used its state-backed mouthpiece, the 'Global Times', to threaten India of military pressure from China, Pakistan, and even Nepal on Wednesday if the border tensions escalated.
The Global Times a Chinese state-run media outlet, quoted an individual at the Institute of International Relations of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Hu Zhiyong in its one-sided and biased editorial stating, "India has engaged in border disputes with China, Pakistan and Nepal at the same time. As Pakistan is a reliable strategic partner of China, and Nepal also has close ties with China, and both of them are key partners under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, if India escalates border tensions, it could face military pressure from two or even three fronts, which is far beyond India's military capability and this might lead to a disastrous defeat for India."
Last Sunday, the Chinese People's Liberation Army carried out military drills in high altitude conditions with tanks prior to the disturbance with India on Monday, The Diplomat reported.
NATO has responded with U.S. representative Kay Bailey Hutchison pronouncing China is being watched by the West due to its growing hostility with its neighbors like Japan and India and other territories like Taiwan. Hutchison insisted that "It's much more on our radar screen, and I think it should be because we should assess the risk, hope for the best but prepare for the worst,"
Hutchison remarked that "So we know that China has the capability to compete on a level playing field, and we're asking them to do that, but we're also turning a wary eye to their behavior right now in the South China Sea, militarizing islands that they said would never be done, as well as the clampdown on Hong Kong."
When the representative was asked if an actual military encounter was on the horizon, she replied, "I think NATO is now looking to the East."
A spokesperson for U.S. President Donald Trump has said he has "no formal plans" to interfere between India and China.
"There are no formal plans," White House spokesman Kayleigh McEnany told reporters but said Trump is "aware" and monitoring the tumultuous situation.
Indian media reported a total of 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the brawl earlier this week, citing the toll from a military specialist, while the casualties of the Chinese side remain unknown. U.S. intelligence sources have, however, speculated that at least 35 soldiers were killed from China during the hand to hand combat dispute which saw both sides using iron rods, rocks and studded clubs.

— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) June 17, 2020
Meanwhile, with the conflict between China and India potentially ending, another escalation has since happened with Pakistan. When this was going to press, Pakistan accused India of "unprovoked" shelling fire in the disputed Kashmir region. Which resulted in the deaths of four civilians, the country added.
Although, there is still a heated exchange of words between the two nations blaming each other. India accused Chinese troops of deliberately preparing the attack on its soldiers claiming they erected a tent on the Indian side, dammed a river, brought in machinery and then brutally beat their soldiers. China has counted back claiming sovereignty over the Galwan valley in Ladakh, and has accused Indian troops of three times crossing into its territory. "The responsibility entirely lies with Indian side," said Lijian, on Friday.
Indias Army also released new rules of engagement with China on the LAC, "In future, if they carry clubs, so will our soldiers. If they use rocks, so will we. Rules need to be followed equally by both sides," an India military source told India Today.

In keeping with the exclusivity of both King Kong and the original 1965 Pony Car, the Ford Motor Company has elected to display a 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible atop the Empire State Building during the 2014 New York International Auto Show, taking place from April 16 through 27, 2014 at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, New York, U.S.A.
The observation deck of the Empire State Building is located on the eighty-sixth floor making placement of the 50th Anniversary Mustang anything but routine.
The height of this incredible feat makes placement with a crane impossible, since most super cranes reach heights of only about fifty-stories. Helicopter placement is also impossible due to the configuration of the roof decking and close proximity of the different layers to one another. That leaves Ford engineers looking back to the 1964 World�s Fair when the original Mustang was brought up using the building�s elevator network.
Simultaneously beginning April 16 and going on through April 20, the Mustang Club of America will hold its official International Celebration. Mustang owners from every nation will gather together at two locations in the U.S. in support of the iconic Mustang by displaying the flags of their country. Thousands of International and American Mustang owners and lovers will descend on Charlotte Motor Speedway (in Concorde, North Carolina) and Las Vegas Motor Speedway (in Las Vegas, Nevada) to show their support and admiration for the 50th-Anniversary of this legendary car.
The new Mustang stands to be the most advanced version of this innovative sports car to date. A redesigned exterior package offers an even sleeker appearance which trends away from the retrospective styling of the last decade. The more aerodynamic shark-like look with deeply contoured lines and lowered roof, deck lid, and hood give the Mustang a menacingly athletic appearance, while the lowered center of gravity (about 1.5-inches) yields an edgy competitive feel. In the rear, wider proportions with tri-bar taillights and fastback shape provides a more muscular performance aesthetic than the current model.
The interior is redesigned, as well. Upgraded materials accompany the restyling along with a smaller, tilting and telescoping (finally) steering column.
The 2015 Ford Mustang offers three distinctively different engine choices. The first is a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. Taking notes from the Turbo Coupe Thunderbirds of the mid-1980s, this little four-cylinder is expected to generate in excess of 300-hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. A slightly detuned version of the current 3.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine will also be offered as standard equipment. It should produce 300-hp and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. �Finally, the 5.0-liter V8 option offered in GT level Mustangs is thought to manufacture 420-hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. All engine choices are available with a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.

Helicopter placement is also impossible due to the configuration of the roof decking and close proximity of the different layers to one another. That leaves Ford engineers looking back to the 1964 World�s Fair when the original Mustang was brought up using the building�s elevator network. Unfortunately, the building (built in 1931) was not designed with elevators that can accommodate an automobile, as are many modern buildings. In 1964, when the original Mustang debuted, the car was cut into three sections in order to make the trip eighty-six floors upward. Despite modern day technology the 2015 Ford Mustang will suffer a similar fate as Ford personnel work in conjunction with New York State officials and Empire State Building staff members to move the Mustang into position safely, while ensuring that it makes the best possible impression when it is displayed to Empire State Building visitors on April 16 and 17, from 8 a.m. until 2 a.m. on the observation deck. Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak said, �Like all good craftsmen our team is measuring twice to make sure that we only have to cut once to get the Mustang safely to its destination on the fifty-sixth floor.� The 2015 Ford Mustang is both longer and wider than its ancestor making the project even harder to complete. Engineers have used computer generated models and templates to determine exactly where to separate the pieces so that the car can be loaded into specially designed crates for transportation to the building and then on to the observation deck. These crates must not only protect the car but also fit into the elevators, as well. Once the car arrives on the observation deck it must be reassembled within a 6-hour window, which is the approximate amount of time which will be afforded Ford technicians to accomplish the task. � Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company chief operating officer, stated, �New York is one of the greatest cities in the World and it is the place where the Ford Mustang story began fifty-years ago. We are thrilled to be visiting the architectural landmark that has been the heart of the Manhattan skyline for eighty-three-years with the newest generation of the car that is the soul of Ford Motor Company.� Simultaneously beginning April 16 and going on through April 20, the Mustang Club of America will hold its official International Celebration.

SINGAPORE: Real estate advisory firm Knight Frank has launched Riviera Point, a freehold site located along River Valley Road, for sale by tender.
It said the guide price for the property is S$70 million.
The site is located near the Orchard shopping belt, and has a land area of 14,580 square feet.
Knight Frank said the site may be redeveloped into a new project that could yield a gross floor area (GFA) of 49,303 square feet.
The tender for Riviera Point closes on September 29 at 3pm.


For example, All Clad said that the suggested maximum temperature was 450 degrees; other sites said that much higher temperatures were perfectly fine. All Clad suggested that the stone didn't need to be seasoned with oil first, but seasoning should be done with olive oil or vegetable oil. Other sites suggested that mineral oil was preferred, and still others said that seasoning was required reather than just suggested.
The instructions from All Clad didn't include the proper use of the metal ring, but they answered that for me when I emailed them. It's not intended for oven use, it's just for holding and transporting the stone outside the oven. That explains why some people on Amazon complained about the metal darkening in the oven - it's not meant to go in there.
Other care instructions note that the stone can be washed with soap and water and that you can cut directly on the stone. Since the stone is a little soft, you can scratch it, but you can also lightly sand it if you want to smooth it out again. Seasoning, according to All Clad, can make the stone more non-stick, but the seasoning would happen over time, anyway, as the stone is used. Seasoning it right away makes it an even color immediately, if that's what you're looking for.
In the end, I decided to season the stone (which turned it from a light gray to a dark gray) and then treat it just like every other stone I used - preheat to 550 degrees for 1 hour. The dark gray turned to a dark brown and there was some smoking from the oil residue on the stone.
At 45 minutes, the stone was at 501 degrees, and at 1 hour it was at 539.
At 8 minutes, I pulled the pizza out. The cheese wasn't quite as browned as with some of the pizzas, but it was melted and bubbly. The pizza was also a little puffier than previous examples.
I didn't bother taking the stone out of the oven and putting it into the metal ring for serving. I just removed the pizza and carried on.
When I cut it, there was a nice crunch, and the bottom had the most blackened (and the darkest black) spots of any of the pizzas. If you're not looking for that much char, then reducing the heat to the recommended 450 degrees might be wise.
Overall, it was a good pizza, and if you're looking for a stone that can give you char, this one accomplishes that. The metal ring that comes with the stone make it easier to transport and would offer a nice presentation, but moving a screaming hot stone to that metal ring might be troublesome.
This stone (including the metal ring and pizza cutter) sells for $125.
