Duke Ellington è considerato uno dei massimi compositori del '900, oltre le etichette di genere; grande è stata e rimane la sua influenza su generazioni di jazzisti: dalle orchestre bianche di Woody Herman e Charlie Barnet a Thelonious Monk e Charles Mingus, e poi le avanguardie più underground di Sun Ra e Archie Shepp. Grande è il debito nei confronti del duca anche da parte dell'esule africano Dollar Brand, Muhal Richard Abrams e di Anthony Davis.

Biografia

A partire dalla fine degli anni dieci inizia a suonare professionalmente, come pianista, nella natia Washington; solo pochi anni dopo, manifestando già qualità manageriali, raduna attorno a sé alcuni amici musicisti, Sonny Greer e Otto Hardwick, per suonare a feste e in locali da ballo. Nel 1922, grazie a Sonny Greer, si trasferisce a New York per suonare con il complesso di Wilbur Sweatman; il primo importante ingaggio a New York, in uno dei più eleganti locali di Harlem, data al luglio 1923 con la Snowden's Novelty Orchestra.

Questo complesso di Elmer Snowden comprendeva già un primo nucleo della futura orchestra di Ellington: Otto Hardwick e Roland Smith (ance), Arthur Whetsol e Bubber Miley (trombe), John Anderson (trombone), Elmer Snowden (banjo), Sonny Greer (batteria). Nel 1924, dopo l'allontanamento di Snowden, Ellington diviene il band-leader della formazione, che prenderà successivamente il nome di Washingtonians e rimarrà al Kentucky Club fino al 1927. Nel 1926 Irving Mills, l'uomo giusto al momento giusto, diventa l'impresario dell'orchestra per la quale organizza brevi tournée, ingaggi e sedute di registrazione. Nel 1927 Ellington ottiene un contratto nel locale più in vista di Harlem: il Cotton Club; questa si rivelerà una svolta decisiva nella sua carriera. Sono anni fondamentali per la scelta dell'organico, e conseguentemente della sonorità, dell'orchestra e della preparazione di un repertorio. Nel 1928 entrano a far parte dell'orchestra Johnny Hodges (sassofono contralto e soprano) e Barney Bigard (clarinetto); nel 1927 erano entrati Louis Metcalf (tromba), Harry Carney (sassofono baritono) e Wellman Braud (contrabbasso). Nel 1926 Ellington aveva ingaggiato il trombonista Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton, che assieme a Miley avrebbe contribuito alla definizione del suono "growl" e "jungle" che avrebbe contraddistinto l'orchestra nei primi anni.

Risalgono al 1927 i primi capolavori riconosciuti di Ellington: brani in stile jungle come richiedeva la moda esotica del momento per gli spettacoli pseudo-africani del Cotton Club (Black and Tan Fantasy, The Mooche, East St.Louis Toodle-Oo) e brani d'atmosfera e di carattere intimista (Black Beauty, Mood Indigo). Il jungle era gradito ai bianchi: i neri erano ancora visti come creature semplici e primitive.
Walter Mauro scrive che lo stile jungle di Ellington potrebbe essere correlato ad una certa sua indifferenza verso i modelli culturali occidentali. Egli non si era "ancora del tutto emancipato".

Negli anni trenta entrarono altri membri fondamentali: Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart (trombe), Lawrence Brown, Juan Tizol (trombone). In questo decennio Ellington cominciò a rivolgere la sua attenzione anche al rapporto fra voce umana e strumenti musicali. Come altri direttori d'orchestra all'epoca, egli era perfettamente conscio dell'importanza commerciale di un vocalist nell'orchestra: un brano cantato aveva più possibilità di venire diffuso via radio e una band con una cantante, soprattutto se donna, assicurava un maggior numero di ingaggi. Alcuni pezzi come Don't Get Around Much Anymore o It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) nacquero già con un testo e furono decisivi nel far conoscere suo il talento artistico. La sua intuizione nel 1931 fu quella di scritturare Ivie Anderson come cantante fissa: allora ventiseienne, la Anderson aveva già esordito nei teatri ma non aveva mai ricevuto proposte a lungo termine. Ellington volle aspettare un anno finché non trovò il primo pezzo giusto da farle incidere, appunto It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing), e la cantante rimase nell'orchestra per più di dieci anni, fino al 1942. Nelle incisioni di alcuni suoi brani tuttavia, Ellington si servì molto spesso della voce di altri solisti quali Bing Crosby, Ethel Waters, Kay Davis, Rosemary Clooney.

Alla fine del decennio, nel 1939, entrano a far parte dell'orchestra Ben Webster (sassofono tenore) e Jimmy Blanton (contrabbasso). Quest'ultimo, nei tre anni in cui fu in grado di suonare e incidere (muore infatti nel 1941) rivoluzionò la tecnica e la concezione del contrabbasso che grazie a lui divenne non solo il motore dell'orchestra ma strumento solista vero e proprio, allo stesso livello di un qualsiasi strumento a fiato o del pianoforte. Sempre nel 1939 entra a far parte del circolo il giovane compositore, pianista e arrangiatore Billy Strayhorn, che fino alla morte (1967) rimane il più fedele collaboratore, coautore e alter ego musicale di Ellington (anche se la reale portata del contributo di Strayhorn alla musica di Ellington ha iniziato a essere indagata e soprattutto riconosciuta solo negli ultimi anni).

Tra il 1940 e il 1943 nacque così una straordinaria serie di incisioni che complessivamente costituiscono uno dei vertici assoluti della musica del Novecento e insieme il contributo più duraturo e generalmente riconosciuto di Ellington alla storia della musica afroamericana. Essendo quasi impossibile estrapolare, da questa lunga e apparentemente inesauribile sequenza, gli innumerevoli capolavori, potrà essere sufficiente citare, tra i tanti, Jack The Bear, Ko-Ko, Concerto For Cootie, Sepia Panorama, Cotton Tail, Harlem Air Shaft.
Molti brani ellingtoniani sfuggono a una ristretta etichettatura di genere, andando ben oltre gli schemi tecnico-interpretativi del jazz dell'epoca. Più spesso, nel caso del Duca, si deve parlare di musica espressionista del Novecento, e l'idea che le sue composizioni fossero dei "quadri musicali" o che egli riuscisse a "dipingere con i suoni", fu un concetto più volte espresso dallo stesso Ellington, che non a caso in gioventù aveva lungamente coltivato anche una certa passione per la pittura (in realtà, prima di diventare musicista, aveva accarezzato l'idea di intraprendere la carriera di cartellonista pubblicitario). Il brano Mood indigo (che si potrebbe tradurre con umore color indaco) è uno degli esempi più significativi dell'espressionismo di Ellington.

I grandi risultati ottenuti si dovettero anche al fatto che per oltre trent'anni Duke Ellington riuscì a mantenere unita la sua orchestra, caso abbastanza raro a quei tempi, il che gli permise di amalgamare il gruppo e di plasmarlo secondo la sua inventiva, raggiungendo un'intesa perfetta con ciascuno strumentista e ricavandone un sound unico e inconfondibile, quasi che l'orchestra fosse un unico strumento nelle sue mani.

A partire dal 1943 Ellington iniziò a tenere ogni anno un concerto alla Carnegie Hall (1943-1948) tempio della musica colta d'ispirazione europea, in occasione del quale presentava, a ogni concerto, una nuova composizione in forma di suite ad ampio respiro. Nel 1943 fu presentata, e per fortuna incisa integralmente (cosa che non accadrà più in studio, se non in versioni frammentarie), una composizione ispirata alla storia dell'integrazione razziale dei neri negli Stati Uniti, dal titolo Black, Brown and Beige.

Negli anni quaranta e cinquanta diversi solisti lasciano l'orchestra per seguire la carriera solistica o per ragioni di salute (tra cui il batterista Sonny Greer, per problemi di alcol, il sassofonista Ben Webster, a causa del carattere irascibile di questi e delle continue liti che intercorsero tra i due, e il clarinettista Barney Bigard, per problemi di stress derivanti dai frequenti tour in tutto il mondo). Assieme al fedele Harry Carney, che gli rimase sempre accanto, sfilarono Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, Jimmy Hamilton, Russell Procope (sax), Ray Nance (tromba, violino), Al Killian, Shorty Baker, Clark Terry, Cat Anderson, Willie Cook (trombe), Tyree Glenn (trombone, vibrafono), Quentin Jackson, Britt Woodman, Booty Wood (tromboni), Oscar Pettiford, Junior Raglin, Jimmy Woode (contrabbasso), Louis Bellson, Sam Woodyard, Jimmy Johnson (batteria). Il 23 maggio 1950 l'orchestra di Ellington si esibisce nel Teatro Verdi di Pisa. Dopo un periodo di magra, dal 1951 al 1955, segnato soprattutto dalla dipartita del trombonista Lawrence Brown e dell'altosassofonista Johnny Hodges (colonna portante della sezione ance e il più grande sassofonista contralto della storia del jazz prima dell'avvento di Charlie Parker). Con Hodges rientrato nell'orchestra nella primavera del 1956, Ellington pubblicò due album nel 1959, Back to Back: Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges Play the Blues e Side by Side, suonando con una piccola formazione e non con una grande orchestra.

L'orchestra tornò sulla cresta dell'onda con la celeberrima esibizione al Festival del Jazz di Newport la sera del 7 luglio 1956, esibizione nota per il lunghissimo assolo di sax tenore di Paul Gonsalves come intermezzo tra i due brani "Diminuendo in Blue" e " Crescendo in Blue " composti nel 1937.

È interessante notare che questi due brani, insieme a Jeep's Blues sono le uniche registrazioni dal vivo contenute nell'originario disco Ellington at Newport, uscito nella tarda estate del 1956: in quel disco tutte le altre registrazioni, benché dichiarate "dal vivo", erano in realtà state incise pochi giorni dopo il concerto in studio e mixate con finti applausi, operazione che suscitò il disappunto di Ellington. Solo la casuale scoperta dei nastri della emittente radiofonica "The Voice of America", più di quarant'anni dopo, dimostrerà lo splendore e la forza del concerto originale. Questa scoperta renderà possibile la pubblicazione nel 1998 del doppio CD Ellington at Newport - Complete, che contiene l'intero concerto, senza tagli e/o omissioni, a testimonianza definitiva di un evento storico realizzato da un'orchestra e da un direttore in forma eccellente.

Nei primi anni '60, Ellington registrò con artisti che erano stati amici - rivali in passato o erano musicisti più giovani che si concentravano su stili più moderni. Le orchestre di Ellington e Count Basie registrarono insieme l'album First Time! The Count Meets the Duke (1961). Durante un periodo in cui Ellington era tra un contratto discografico e l'altro, fece dischi con Louis Armstrong The Great Summit (1961), con Coleman Hawkins, con John Coltrane Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (1963) e partecipò ad una sessione con Charles Mingus e Max Roach che produsse l'album "Money Jungle" (1962). Nel 1962 firmò per la nuova etichetta Reprise di Frank Sinatra, sotto la quale nel giro di poco più di tre anni produsse otto album che per la maggior parte privilegiavano la musica da intrattenimento. Da segnalare il progetto di collaborazione tra Ellington e lo stesso Sinatra, che si concretizzò solo nel 1968, a contratto scaduto, con la pubblicazione di un solo album (Francis A. & Edward K.) che tuttavia deluse sia la critica che il pubblico, riscuotendo un mediocre successo commerciale.

In quegli stessi anni, alcuni musicisti che avevano precedentemente lavorato con Ellington tornarono all'Orchestra come membri: Lawrence Brown nel 1960 e Cootie Williams nel 1962. In seguito la carriera di Ellington fu scandita da una serie innumerevole di concerti e tour per il mondo e da nuove registrazioni: eccellenti le suite Such Sweet Thunder (1958), ispirata alle opere di William Shakespeare, la Far East Suite (1966) e la New Orleans Suite (1970), nonché il Second Sacred Concert (1968, con la cantante svedese Alice Babs). I tour furono interrotti il 31 maggio 1967, giorno nel quale muorì di cancro all'esofago il suo intimo amico e preziosissimo collaboratore Billy Strayhorn: per le tre settimane seguenti Duke non uscì dalla sua camera da letto, per tre mesi non diede concerti e cadde in una depressione profonda, interrotta solo dalla registrazione del celeberrimo album And his mother called him Bill... contenente alcune delle più famose partiture di Strayhorn. Un altro giorno funesto per l'orchestra fu l'11 maggio 1970, quando, durante una seduta dentistica, un infarto uccise Johnny Hodges.

Negli anni sessanta e settanta nel collettivo brillarono le presenze di Norris Turney (sax alto, flauto), Harold Ashby (sax tenore), Fred Stone (flicorno), Buster Cooper e Julian Priester (trombone), Aaron Bell, Joe Benjamin e Ernest Shepard (contrabbasso), e Rufus Jones (batteria).

Il 19 luglio 1970 Ellington si esibì al festival Palermo Pop 70 di Joe Napoli; nello stesso mese tenne un concerto alla Bussola di Marina di Pietrasanta dell'impresario Sergio Bernardini e ripreso dalla RAI.

Duke Ellington morì, di cancro ai polmoni, il 24 maggio 1974, assistito dal figlio Mercer e senza sapere che pochi giorni prima era morto anche il fidato collaboratore Paul Gonsalves per overdose di eroina. Mercer Ellington non aveva avuto il coraggio di dargli la brutta notizia.

Molti sono stati i brani-tributo dedicati a Duke Ellington da altri artisti:
 Dave Brubeck gli dedicò nel 1954 The Duke, divenuto poi uno standard e interpretato da numerosi altri artisti tra cui Miles Davis nel suo album Miles Ahead e Louis Armstrong in duetto con Carmen McRae.
 Lo stesso Miles Davis compose, un mese dopo la sua scomparsa, He Loved Him Madly, una sorta di requiem di 32 minuti, includendolo nel doppio album Get Up with It.
 Charles Mingus, pur essendo stato molti anni prima "licenziato" da Ellington, scrisse Duke Ellington's Sound Of Love sempre nel 1974.
 Stevie Wonder nel 1976 gli dedicò Sir Duke, che sarebbe diventato uno dei suoi più grandi successi, includendolo nell'album Songs in the Key of Life.

Austin agency offering free babysitting at some Travis County polling locations
by: Alyssa Goard
Posted: Oct 18, 2020 / 11:14 PM CDT / Updated: Oct 19, 2020 / 12:28 AM CDT
AUSTIN (KXAN) — In a year full of unprecedented firsts, one Austin babysitting agency decided to try something they'd never done before: offering free babysitting for voters in line at certain Travis County polling locations.
Beth Heyer, the owner of Babysitting Connection, explained that after someone brought up the idea to her of providing pop-up babysitting for voters, she got started on making the idea a reality two weeks ago. Her agency offers in-home babysitting services in the Austin area.

So far, her agency is scheduled to provide childcare during early voting on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25 from 9 a.m. until the polls close each day at Shops at Arbor Walk, which is a vote center in North Austin at 10515 North MoPac Expressway.
Babysitting Connection is also scheduled to have pop-up locations on election day at the Shops at Arbor Walk and St. Mark United Methodist Church (601 West Braker Lane). Heyer feels optimistic that her agency will have the details squared away for a pop-up location on election day at Huston-Tillotson University, as well.
These babysitters will be offering care at facilities at or next to polling sites and donated by polling locations.
Heyer explained that the pop-up locations will accept children of any age. No pre-registration is required, parents must only fill out a standard form upon arrival.
Children are allowed to wait in line and to enter Travis County vote centers with their parents.
However, Heyer believes that many parents may not want or be able to bring their children along with them. She noted that Austin Independent School District has now designated election day as a student holiday, which may present a childcare hurdle. Additionally, record-breaking turnout in Travis County at early voting so far has already left some people waiting in line for hours to vote.

"I know I've heard from people who've waited two hours," Heyer said. "Whether it's fifteen minutes or two hours, that's not necessarily enjoyable with a 2-year-old."
Heyer said these pop-up locations will take in children whether their parents are waiting for several minutes or several hours in the line to vote. Her goal is to let parents focus on what's on the ballot.
"It's so important to me that anybody who wants to vote has an opportunity to vote. I don't want having to get childcare or the cost of childcare to be in the way of that."
Beth Heyer, Owner and Founder, Babysitter Connection
How the pop-ups will work
The pop-up babysitting locations will be staffed by babysitters from the Babysitting Connection, whom Heyer said have donated around 100 hours of their time to make this possible. Each of these employees has had a background check, a driving record check, CPR certification, a valid driver license, and is over the age of 18.
Babysitters will be supplied with thermometers to check temperatures and plenty of disinfecting supplies, Heyer said. At the pop-ups, children six and up will be required to wear face coverings, children ages three to five will be encouraged to wear face coverings, and children younger than two will not be required to wear them. The babysitters will have extra masks on hand for children.
To make the pop-ups possible, Heyer has been taking donations of snacks, personal protective equipment, activities, and toys through an Amazon Wishlist and through community sponsorships.

"It's still a new businesses and it's not something that I was able to completely fund on my own," Heyer explained. "It's just has been really great to see the community step up and help with this event."
For those with further questions about Babysitting Connection's policies and COVID-19 precautions, Heyer directs people to the company website.
She has never done an event like this before, so she has no idea what the demand will be at the drop off locations. But to avoid having two many people in one place, Heyer said there will be ratios in place to cap the number of kids that can be cared for at one time.
"Fingers crossed that parents come out and use this, I'm going to make sure I figure out all of the ratios that we need," she said.
A high turnout election
Already, Austin and the state of Texas have seen high voter turnout in early voting for the November election.
Travis County has been shattering early voting records with 41,265 people showing up to vote early in person on Friday, Oct. 15, which is the highest single-day early voting turnout on record, according to the county clerk office.
According to the United States Elections Project out of the University of Florida, Texas is the state with the highest number of total ballots cast during early voting at 3,881,379 total ballots cast in early voting, so far. According to that dataset, Texas also leads the country in total votes cast so far as a percent of 2016 total turnout with 43.2%.
As of Oct. 17, The Texas Tribune reports 23.7% of registered voters in Texas' ten largest counties had already cast their ballots.

Many people think that second coming Christ is different from the Holy Spirit, but the scriptures prove that the Holy Spirit is second coming Christ and that he will come in the flesh once again! Even when you look at the book of Revelation Jesus Christ said in Rev 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:……" Then Jesus says in Rev 2:7 ,"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches…" Here we can see the one telling the churches is Jesus Christ! Then he refers to himself as the Spirit! But is this first coming Christ or second coming? If the book of Revelation was written in 97AD and Jesus christ was crucified in 33AD, then clearly this is second coming Christ, not first coming Christ!

Thierry Casasnovas, né le  à Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), est un entrepreneur et vidéaste web français controversé.

Sans formation médicale, il donne des conseils en matière de santé et nutrition sur le web, se référant à la naturopathie et à l'hygiénisme, déclarant notamment que l'ensemble des pathologies humaines découlent de l'alimentation et des conditions de vie. Il promeut la pratique du crudivorisme et du jeûne. Il travaille sur YouTube depuis , totalisant des dizaines de millions de vues. Il organise également des stages via l'association Régénère, dont il est le fondateur, qui commercialise en ligne divers objets et produits, en particulier des extracteurs de jus.

Certaines pratiques qu'il conseille sont considérées comme dénuées de fondement scientifique, voire dangereuses pour la santé par des diététiciens et médecins.

L'Union nationale des associations de défense des familles et de l'individu victimes de sectes (Unadfi) dénonce des pratiques relevant du charlatanisme ainsi qu'une emprise sectaire sur son public. Elle lui reproche d'encourager l'arrêt des traitements médicaux en cas de maladies.

À ce titre, il est suivi depuis  par la  Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires (Miviludes) qui indique que des centaines de signalements lui sont parvenus. Une enquête à son sujet est ouverte à l'été  par le parquet de Paris pour mise en danger de la vie d'autrui et en  pour « abus de faiblesse, exercice illégal de la médecine et pratique commerciale trompeuse ». Il est placé en garde à vue puis mis en examen en .

Il est placé en garde à vue le , dans le cadre d'une information judiciaire ouverte à Perpignan, depuis l'été  pour « exercice illégal de la profession de médecin », « abus de faiblesse », « blanchiment » et « pratiques commerciales trompeuses », avec l'une de ses associées responsable de la comptabilité de ses différentes sociétés. Le 10 mars, il est mis en examen par le procureur de la République de Perpignan pour abus de confiance, faux et usage de faux, exercice illégal de la médecine, exercice illégal de la pharmacie, pratiques commerciales trompeuses, abus de biens sociaux, blanchiment et abus de faiblesse et placé sous contrôle judiciaire avec interdiction de participer ou d'organiser des stages ou formations en rapport avec la santé, le bien-être, l'hygiénisme ou la naturopathie.

Polémiques et accusations

Inefficacité et dangerosité des conseils

Conseils de nutrition et santé
Thierry Casasnovas se présente comme « un naturopathe, adepte du jeûne et du régime alimentaire cru ». Cependant, il n'a pas de formation scientifique, il fonde ses connaissances sur Internet, les livres qu'il a lus, et ses propres expériences personnelles. Selon Rue89, il .

Thierry Casasnovas est adepte de l'hygiénisme. Rue89 note qu'il est possible de voir dans une de ses vidéo que sa bibliothèque comporte des livres ésotériques et des publications proches de la théorie hygiéniste d'Herbert M. Shelton.

En 2014, Thierry Casasnovas déclare que « l'alimentation moderne est la source des maladies ». Selon Rue89, Thierry Casasnovas estime que la totalité des pathologies humaines découlent de l'alimentation et des conditions de vie, que ce soit le cancer ou la sclérose en plaques en passant par l'obésité et la dépression. Pour lui, les maladies sont le symptôme de la présence en surnombre de « toxines » et produits acides dans le corps. Il considère que l'espèce humaine mange actuellement tout au long de sa vie des aliments qui ne sont pas faits pour elle, remettant par exemple en cause le gluten et le lait. Il déclare que manger principalement des fruits et des légumes, majoritairement crus, est « ce qui a été prévu pour nous », et que cela permet de détoxifier et désacidifier le corps. Il conseille en outre de prendre du temps pour se reposer, et d'arrêter de se « surstimuler ».

Selon Rue89, les conseils de Thierry Casasnovas séduisent de très nombreux internautes. Dans les commentaires écrits sous ses vidéos, dont certaines ont plus de , de nombreuses personnes témoignent se sentir mieux grâce à ses conseils. Pour expliquer pourquoi ceux qui suivent les conseils de Thierry Casasnovas se sentent mieux, Rue89 cite Laurent Chevalier, nutritionniste au CHRU de Montpellier, qui déclare : Thierry Casasnovas . Rue89 affirme aussi qu'il est possible, « en cherchant bien », de trouver des témoignages de personnes qui ont eu des problèmes de santé ou des problèmes familiaux après avoir suivi les conseils de Thierry Casasnovas. Rue89 cite Elodie, une blogueuse qui estime de manière générale que de nombreuses personnes quittent les mouvements alternatifs « en silence », car elles sont devenues des « pestiférées » « honteuses » après avoir connu l'échec avec les pratiques alimentaires concernées.

Rue89 déclare que les préceptes de Thierry Casasnovas sont « considérés comme fumeux par les nombreux spécialistes de la nutrition » que le journal a contactés. Commentant les préceptes de Thierry Casasnovas, Rue89 affirme que « la cuisson n'est pas une ennemie » avant de rapporter les propos de Jean-Paul Blanc, diététicien-nutritionniste. Ce dernier estime que si les crudités présentent de « véritables bénéfices », le gain en fibre ayant selon lui un « impact positif » sur le transit intestinal, l'« énergie » et la « santé en général », cependant « la cuisson à la vapeur ou à l'eau rend aussi les aliments plus faciles à digérer » et que si la cuisson des aliments a l'inconvénient de faire disparaître une partie des vitamines et nutriments, il est possible d'y remédier par des températures de cuisson basses ou en consommant l'eau de cuisson en bouillon.

D'après 20 Minutes, la mouvance crudivore à laquelle appartient Thierry Casasnovas s'appuie sur le fait que lorsqu'on chauffe les aliments, à partir d'une certaine température, « les minéraux, vitamines ou enzymes nécessaires à l'organisme peuvent être altérés ».

François Morel, chirurgien cancérologue à Rouen, affirme : « Dans ses paroles, il y a toujours un fond scientifique qu'il pervertit totalement pour le faire coller à son idéologie ».

Le magazine télévisé Temps présent de  porte sur l' et mentionne Thierry Casasnovas. La rédaction affirme qu'« après plusieurs échanges » Thierry Casasnovas a annulé leur « rendez-vous ». Le numéro diffusé vise spécifiquement, entre autres thématiques connexes, les modalités problématiques susceptibles de découler de certaines pratiques alimentaires vécues sur un mode « obsessionnel », notamment les dangers d'orthorexie.

L'UNADFI considère que Thierry Casasnovas est un charlatan qui invite ses abonnés à manger cru pour traiter le diabète ou la dépression. Selon Europe 1, Thierry Casasnovas laisse « entendre que les cancers peuvent être soignés par des jus de fruits ».

Dans les stages qu'il organise, il encourage la pratique du « sungazing », le fait de regarder le Soleil tous les matins plusieurs secondes à ses adeptes. Thierry Casasnovas aurait affirmé que ça pourrait améliorer la vue, et que « des gens étaient passés de 7 sur 10, à 10 sur 10 grâce à ça ».

D'après Jean-Michel Lecerf, chef du service nutrition de l'Institut Pasteur de Lille, cité par Rue89, l'acidité dont parle Thierry Casasnovas fait référence à l'équilibre acido-basique du sang, qui est un élément effectivement très important. Mais selon Jean-Michel Lecerf, seul le cas extrême d'une alimentation essentiellement carnée et sans aucun fruit et légume peut conduire à un léger déséquilibre, tandis que manger .

Thierry Casasnovas préconiserait le jeûne alimentaire pour la prévention du cancer et de la sclérose en plaques.

D'après Sonia Backès, secrétaire d'État chargée de la Citoyenneté, Thierry Casasnovas affirme que manger cru guérit du cancer, ce qui .

Autour du diabète
Le docteur en physiologie et spécialiste du diabète Filipe de Vadder dénonce des propos erronés et dangereux de Thierry Casasnovas au sujet de cette maladie.

D'après Futura Science, un adolescent a dû être hospitalisé après avoir suivi les conseils de Thierry Casasnovas.

Rejet de la médecine conventionnelle
Il accuse de nombreux traitements et examens de la médecine d'être nocifs pour la santé ou inefficaces, comme la plupart des médicaments, les mammographies, qu'il accuse de causer le cancer du sein, et la chimiothérapie. De plus, il s'oppose aux vaccinations, et, malgré les preuves scientifiques, il affirme que le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH), responsable du syndrome d'immunodéficience acquise (SIDA), n'existe pas. D'après le psychosociologue Sylvain Delouvée, l'approche de Thierry Casasnovas consiste à faire croire à des personnes en situation de souffrance et de fragilité que la science et la médecine classique traditionnelle constituent un système qui contribue à les rendre malades.

Désinformation sur la pandémie de Covid-19

Pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, la Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires (Miviludes) s'inquiète du « nouveau positionnement », « plus politique », de Thierry Casasnovas, qui amène « une vision du monde qui fait système pour certains ». La Miviludes estime qu'il s'agit de théories complotistes, et que celles-ci, d'une manière générale, font de l'audience et peuvent être en soi très rémunératrices.

En , le médecin Cyril Vidal, président de l'association FakeMed, un collectif de professionnels de santé et de citoyens mobilisés pour contrer les infox dans le domaine de la santé, dénonce, dans le magazine L'Express, la dangerosité des recommandations publiques faites par Thierry Casasnovas, à propos de la pandémie de Covid-19 en cours de développement dans le monde. Sur sa chaîne YouTube, le vidéaste web français donne divers conseils pour lutter contre le virus SARS-CoV-2. Selon Cyril Vidal, Thierry Casasnovas « explique qu'il faut jeûner et manger cru pour se protéger du virus, tout comme se rapprocher des gens plutôt que de limiter les contacts physiques ». Le vidéaste suggère dans une vidéo publiée le  et supprimée plus tard qu'il est facile de soigner cette maladie : .

En , il est cité dans un article du Parisien intitulé « Coronavirus : l'épidémie, business béni des charlatans en tout genre ». Selon Le Parisien, Casasnovas conseille .

Mediapart relève qu'à l'occasion de cette pandémie il offre aussi une caisse de résonance aux théories conspirationnistes sur cette maladie, en particulier lorsqu'il publie une vidéo commune de deux heures avec Jean-Jacques Crèvecœur, dans laquelle il explique vouloir  et  sur cette pandémie. Jean-Jacques Crèvecœur, conférencier conspirationniste belge, y donne libre cours à ses théories sur un grand complot de Bill Gates, sur la 5G ou encore sur . En juin, Dieudonné remet à Thierry Casasnovas une quenelle d'or dans la catégorie Lanceurs d'alerte.

Une étude de sciences comportementales de  cherchant à comprendre les mécanismes cognitifs des individus ayant conduit à soutenir les affirmations du professeur Didier Raoult durant la pandémie souligne notamment le rôle joué par les promoteurs de la pensée intuitive et des pseudomédecines, parmi lesquels figurent ceux que l'étude qualifie de « gourous des pseudomédecines », citant Thierry Casasnovas en exemple.

En , dans un article de L'Express intitulé « pourquoi il faut prendre au sérieux les charlatans », il est présenté comme faisant partie des guérisseurs « niant l'épidémie » et qui « assurent qu'il suffirait de "booster" son système immunitaire avec des aliments naturels ». Par ailleurs, L'Express affirme que, pendant la crise sanitaire lié à la Covid-19, il profère des « diatribes complotistes antimasque, antivaccin, antistratégie gouvernementale ». Selon France Info, Thierry Casasnovas propose « dans une vidéo une recette pour améliorer son immunité et lutter contre la Covid-19 à base de jeûne et d'un régime crudivore ».

Accusations de dérives sectaires

Un gourou se rémunérant sur des conseils dangereux ?
Le Soir cite Thierry Casasnovas comme faisant partie des « gourous autoproclamés » du « milieu du crudivorisme », et indique qu'il « prétend s'être guéri d'une tuberculose avancée, d'une hépatite C et d'une pancréatite aiguë grâce à une alimentation vivante ». Cette déclaration de Thierry Casasnovas est également relevée par L'Expansion, qui ajoute que Thierry Casasnovas conseille à ses abonnés de l'imiter pour guérir de leur « cancer […] diabète ou […] dépression ». L'Expansion conclut : « des conseils bidons, une importante communauté, de l'argent : il n'en fallait pas plus pour alerter la Miviludes, la mission interministérielle chargée de repérer et de lutter contre les dérives sectaires ». Rue89 relève de nombreux conseils et préceptes de Thierry Casasnovas, notamment ceux concernant le cancer : selon Rue89, Thierry Casasnovas conseille de renoncer à la chimiothérapie, qui « ajoute de la toxicité à la toxicité de notre corps », et il estime que le cancer n'est « rien de très grave », qu'il suffit pour l'éviter de faire des choses qui paraissent « tout[es] bête[s] », comme manger « des fruits et légumes parce que c'est la nourriture qui est faite pour toi ».

En , Rue89 publie un article sur Thierry Casasnovas, et reçoit ensuite de très nombreux messages de personnes témoignant « de la dérive d'un de leurs proches après le visionnage des vidéos de Thierry Casasnovas ». Selon Le Soir, sur son site, Thierry Casasnovas « se prémunit d'emblée contre toute attaque pour exercice illégal de la médecine avec un grand placard revendiquant la liberté d'expression et rappelant que la consultation de son site ne remplace en aucune façon une consultation médicale ». BFM TV note qu'en  un avertissement est présent sur la page de présentation de sa chaîne YouTube : il y indique que ses conseils ne doivent pas être mis en œuvre avant consultation d'un médecin.

Selon LCI, alors que la notoriété de Thierry Casasnovas augmente pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, ce dernier « arrondit les angles, supprime des vidéos ou en modifie le titre ». C'est le cas par exemple avec une vidéo intitulée « soigner tous les diabètes en 20 minutes » renommée par la suite « comprendre les diabètes ». LCI cite le collectif L'Extracteur qui accuse Thierry Casasnovas en  ainsi : « depuis plusieurs semaines, il modifie les titres et descriptions, ajoute du conditionnel, rappelle qu'il n'est responsable de rien et complexifie son discours afin de diluer sa responsabilité ».

Selon L'Express, des proches des « adeptes » de Casasnovas sonnent souvent l'alarme et leurs témoignages dessinent des « récits de rupture », où les « convertis » modifient leur alimentation, arrêtent des traitements médicaux même pour une maladie grave comme le cancer métastasé, font des sauts à trampoline pour « faire circuler la lymphe » en espérant y gagner une meilleure immunité, et n'acceptent « aucune critique constructive » sur Casasnovas.

D'après Gilbert Klein, président du Centre laïque pour la prévention du sectarisme, Thierry Casasnovas est un .

Autres similitudes avec les mouvements sectaires
En , d'après Rue89, Thierry Casasnovas utilise des « méthodes clairement sectaires », notamment en misant sur la peur et  et regarder ses vidéos.

Selon une ancienne participante d'un stage de naturopathie organisé par Régénère : .

Dans le livre Management et spiritualité de Jean-Yves Duyck, Gaëlle Moal-Ulvoas, et Catherine Voynnet-Fourboul, les auteurs estiment qu'il y a deux récits qui se développent sur Thierry Casasnovas. D'un côté se trouve le récit des adeptes, qui ont changé d'alimentation et pensent que le monde irait mieux si tout le monde suivait Thierry Casasnovas. Selon les trois auteurs, ces adeptes ont un ensemble de « croyances, plus ou moins exactes », notamment que les extracteurs de jus conservent les nutriments des aliments, que les jus ne nécessitent aucune digestion, que le procédé d'extraction élimine ce qu'ils appellent la « pollution », que les jus de légumes permettent d'éliminer du corps des impuretés et prévenir les maladies, etc. Certains adeptes, d'abord débutants, deviennent des initiés, puis des experts, et enfin des « évangélistes ». De l'autre côté se trouvent les détracteurs, qui avancent que Thierry Casasnovas aurait été disciple de Raël et qu'il existerait une filiation sectaire entre eux. À la suite d'une mésentente, Thierry Casasnovas se serait détourné de Raël et aurait alors étudié les problématiques écologiques et humanistes soulevées par Pierre Rabhi. De ce dernier, Thierry Casasnovas reprendrait le concept de « révolution intérieure », qui, selon les trois auteurs, explique le succès de Casasnovas. Ce dernier explique que les maladies sont dues à l'ignorance et causées par l'individu lui-même. L'individu pourrait donc reprendre le contrôle de sa vie en connaissant les « lois » et en s'intéressant à la cause et non au symptôme. Selon ces auteurs, « ce processus de culpabilisation de ces individus en quête de sens, rend visible le rôle central de la croyance dans la diffusion, puis la réception de l'invention technique de l'extracteur de jus ».

Surveillance par la Miviludes
En 2014, la Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires (Miviludes) dit suivre ses vidéos à partir d'. Audrey Keysers, de la Miviludes, déclare : « Le problème, c'est qu'il va jusqu'à qualifier la chimiothérapie de mort au rat ! Il appelle à remplacer les médicaments par le crudivorisme et non en complément, là, c'est la ligne rouge. On parle alors de perte de chance ». En 2014 toujours, Serge Blisko, président de la Miviludes, affirme également que Thierry Casasnovas est bien connu dans le service, et qu'ils ont reçu « des dizaines et des dizaines de messages à son propos, de gens surpris, en colère, ou parfois qui ont été abusés ». D'après Serge Blisko, la surveillance de Thierry Casasnovas a conduit à « une procédure d'interdiction de vendre par lui-même des plantes aromatiques, après un signalement au conseil national de l'Ordre des pharmaciens ». Mais Serge Blisko affirme qu'il lui serait difficile de faire interdire la publication de vidéos par Thierry Casasnovas : . Thierry Casasnovas a selon lui « une véritable emprise mentale sur ses abonnés. Certains se sont laissés embobiner. Ils étaient fragilisés et prêts à tout pour éviter la chimiothérapie ou une chirurgie invalidante. Ils ont tenté les jus à la place. ». Serge Blisko ajoute ne pas avoir, jusqu'alors (2014), « eu connaissance de cas dramatique ».

En , sur demande de Thierry Casasnovas, la Miviludes lui envoie un courrier pour expliquer qu'elle estime que ses méthodes « présentent des risques pour la santé des adeptes », mais qu'elle « ne fait pas état de dérives avérées » le concernant.

En , selon la Miviludes, Thierry Casasnovas a fait l'objet de plus de quatre cents signalements depuis , dont plus de 250 en , émanant de citoyens inquiets ou de proches des victimes. Selon la Miviludes, ces signalements contiennent des éléments suggérant une emprise mentale. Pour Marie Drilhon, présidente de l'Association de défense des familles et de l'individu victimes de sectes, l'emprise sectaire se caractérise par une rupture avec soi-même (certains auditeurs de Casasnovas ont changé brusquement d'alimentation), par une rupture avec son environnement (ce qui a pu arriver lorsque les proches n'adhèrent pas aux principes de Casasnovas), et par la rupture avec la société et ses règles (par exemple le refus de la vaccination). Aucune plainte n'avait toutefois été déposée contre Thierry Casasnovas en  ; Audrey Keysers, de la Miviludes, estime que « les gens qui se sont fait avoir n'osent pas le dénoncer. Ils ont souvent honte ».

En , le docteur Bruno Boyer, président de la section santé publique du Conseil national de l'Ordre des médecins, estime que ce n'est pas tant les conseils de Thierry Casasnovas qui sont en cause, mais son attitude dogmatique proche du religieux qui conduirait certaines personnes suivant ces conseils à se détourner des traitements médicaux susceptibles de les soigner.

Au printemps  se crée le collectif « L'Extracteur », qui alerte sur les dangers de la « méthode Casasnovas ».

Pendant l'été , à la suite d'un signalement de la Miviludes, une enquête est ouverte à son sujet par le parquet de Paris, au nom de l'article 40 du Code de procédure pénale, pour « mise en danger de la vie d'autrui ». Au mois d'octobre, il supprime plus d'un millier de vidéos de sa chaîne YouTube, parmi lesquelles celles sur le diabète. BFM TV rapporte les propos de Thierry Casasnovas affirmant que  et qu'il est possible de combattre certains symptômes sans traitements médicaux. En , la porte-parole de l'Union nationale des associations de défense des familles et de l'individu victimes de sectes (UNADFI) considère qu'il est avec Jean-Jacques Crèvecœur et Christian Tal Schaller l'un des principaux influenceurs sur YouTube dont le discours s'apparente à une emprise sectaire.

Le  sur France 5 est diffusé le reportage « La Fabrique du mensonge », dont la deuxième partie est consacrée à Thierry Casasnovas et dépeint ce dernier comme un  suivi par .

Il est mentionné dans le rapport d'activité  de la Miviludes qui signale qu'il a été visé par 54 saisines. Selon la Miviludes,

Enquête de l'OCRVP
Le , l'Office central pour la répression des violences aux personnes (OCRVP) ouvre une enquête à l'encontre de Thierry Casasnovas sous le chef de mise en danger de la vie d'autrui.

Plainte de l'UNADFI
En , l'UNADFI porte plainte contre lui pour abus de faiblesse, escroquerie, exercice illégal de la médecine et de la pharmacie et mise en danger délibérée d'autrui. Depuis le , une information judiciaire est ouverte à son encontre par le parquet de Perpignan pour « abus de faiblesse, exercice illégal de la médecine et pratique commerciale trompeuse ». Le , son domicile de Maureillas-las-Illas est perquisitionné par des gendarmes de la section de recherches de Montpellier et de l'Office central de lutte contre les atteintes à l'environnement et à la santé publique (OCLAESP).

Liens avec l'extrême droite
Son discours opposé à la médecine conventionnelle plaît à une partie de l'extrême droite. À partir de 2014, l'association Égalité et Réconciliation, fondée notamment par Alain Soral, relaie et invite Thierry Casasnovas. Thierry Casasnovas anime des conférences chez cette association à Roanne. Il se rapproche aussi de la mouvance d'extrême droite conspirationniste en invitant Dieudonné lors d'un festival sur le crudivorisme en . L'année suivante, Dieudonné lui remet une « quenelle d'or » dans la catégorie « lanceurs d'alerte », lors du « Bal des quenelles » qu'il organise à son domicile. Par la suite Thierry Casasnovas s'éloigne progressivement des conseils centrés sur l'alimentation, et du « dogme du cru », pour transmettre un message holistique, ce qui pour le collectif l'Extracteur ne serait qu'une façade pour lisser son image car il adresserait toujours depuis un message anti-médecine, ce qui entrainerait un refus des soins de ses adeptes. Selon la sociologue et nutritionniste Emmanuelle Lefranc, il adopte alors une posture de « penseur critique de nos modes de vie » et un discours eschatologique. Sa popularité sur YouTube explose, et il devient un personnage public, en élargissant son audience auprès de personnes doutant des autorités institutionnelles, politiques, scientifiques et médicales.

En , Dieudonné lui décerne une Quenelle d'or du lanceur d'alerte. Selon Libération, Thierry Casasnovas, qui exprime son opposition à l'interruption volontaire de grossesse, fait partie de « mouvances d'extrême droite, complotistes ou covidosceptiques [qui] font preuve d'une propagande intensive contre l'avortement ».

Doctolib et liens avec Irène Grosjean
.

Par ailleurs, le média Madmoizelle note que Thierry Casasnovas fréquente Irène Grosjean.

Détournements de fonds
Fin , Nicolas Wailer, directeur de la société Groupe Altra et ancien partenaire de l'association Régénère avec laquelle il s'est brouillé, dit avoir été chargé de l'aspect commercial de l'activité de Thierry Casasnovas qui ne souhaitait pas , et indique que les produits en vente rapporteraient plusieurs centaines de milliers d'euros. Il fournit à Rue89 des documents montrant que les ventes des produits, notamment les extracteurs de jus, ont rapporté  et que, pour le mois de ,  ont été vendus, rapportant une commission à l'association de  pour ce seul mois. D'après Rue89, un extracteur de jus vendu sur le site de Thierry Casasnovas coûte environ , pour un coût d'achat en Corée d'environ , avec une commission pour l'association .

Thierry Casasnovas ne conteste pas les informations données par Altra, mais déclare : . La société Groupe Altra publie alors un enregistrement audio réalisé par Thierry Casasnovas en , où il s'adresse à l'un de ses partenaires commerciaux et présente des projets de ventes d'extracteurs de jus et de bar à jus – propos jugés par L'Obs très différents de sa déclaration.

Filmographie
Thierry Casasnovas intervient dans deux films documentaires réalisés par Alexandre Ferrini : Régénération, sorti en , avec Joël de Rosnay, Idriss Aberkane, Thierry Janssen et Gilles Boeuf, et Vivante !, sorti le .

Q: xamarin how to change the unique id of child in firebase I'm a beginner in firebase and i'm using nuget FirebaseDatabase.net.
I'm trying to replace the unique id of child with the users uid this is how it looks in the database

i tryed this code but it didnt work
private async void signupbutton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // the registration part
    FirebaseClient firebaseClient = new FirebaseClient("foo");
    try
    {
        var authProvider = new FirebaseAuthProvider(new FirebaseConfig(webApiKey));
        var auth =  await authProvider.CreateUserWithEmailAndPasswordAsync(UserNewEmail.Text, UserNewPassword.Text);
        string getToken = auth.FirebaseToken;

      //save user info in database

      await firebaseClient.Child("users").Child("some uid").PostAsync(new userinfo
        {

            firstName = UserFirstName.Text ,
            secondName = UsersecondName.Text
        }) ;

        await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Alert", auth.User.LocalId, "Ok");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Alert", "ala " + ex.Message, "OK");

A: When you Post to Firebase Realtime Database it always creates a new child node with a generated unique ID. If you want to specify your own ID, specify the entire path you want to write to (including that ID) and then use Put.
                                                     //
 await firebaseClient.Child("users").Child("some uid").child(getToken).PutAsync(new userinfo
{

    firstName = UserFirstName.Text ,
    secondName = UsersecondName.Text

Blu-ray Review "Appleseed Alpha"
Starring: Luci Christian, David Matranga
Director: Shinji Aramaki
Rated: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Run Time: 93 minutes
Film: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Blu-ray: 4 out of stars
Extras: 3 out of 5 stars
"Appleseed Alpha" is based on the original manga by "Ghost in the Shell" creator Shirow Masamune. This series has had a great life to do starting in 2004 with the first film "Appleseed" and in 2007 with "Appleseed Ex Machina", this CG-animated film is a prequel to the series and one of the best installments to date. I love the new look of this film and I couldn't take my eyes of the TV. Luci Christian and David Matranga return as the voices of Deunan and Briareos as well. If you are looking for a state-of-the-art action packed CG film, look no further.
Official Premise: Left to survive in a post-World War society, two mercenary soldiers – Deunan and her cyborg partner Briareos – are sent on a mission on the outskirts of their war-torn city. During the operation, they run into Iris and Olson, two citizens from the utopian city of Olympus, who might have a way to save the world but the ruthless Talos and the scheming warlord Two Horns have their own plans. It's up to Deunan and Briareos to safeguard their newfound contacts and help save humanity's last hope.
Sony is releasing this film as a combo pack including Blu-ray + UltraViolet Digital Copy. The 1080p transfer was simply amazing. I immediately fell in love with the the animation style. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track was easily the highlight though with a killer music soundtrack. This film includes some great songs from today's top international music artists, including Yasutaka Nakata (CAPSULE), Skrillex & Alvin Risk, androp, CAPSULE, DJ FUMIYA (RIP SLYME), PASSEPIED, Q;indivi+, tofubeats, AKLO, 80KIDZ, nishi-ken, and RAM RIDER. In terms of special features, there is a great filmmaker commentary track with director Shinji Aramaki and 11 making-of featurettes that track the cover the film from script to screen.

Blu-ray Review "Appleseed XIII: Tartaros & Ouranos"
Director: Takayuki Hamana
Rated: Unrated
Studio: Funimation
Films: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Extras: 1.5 out of 5 stars
If you are a fan of the series "Appleseed XIII", then you might want to consider checking out "Appleseed XIII: Tartaros & Ouranos"…as long as you do not expect new content. This new release from Funimation is two-film shortened summarization of the 13-episode anime series. I have to admit, I was a little bit hesitant since I did like the "Appleseed XIII" quite a bit, but these two films do work very well. They are tighter and really pack a nice punch. What is nice about these, most importantly, is that I feel that you can own both of these, the movies and the series, since they are both different beasts. A no brainer purchase if you love great anime.
Official Premise: In the wake of destruction from a worldwide non-nuclear war, the city of Olympus has become the control center of the world. As humanity adopts biological enhancements in attempts to achieve perfection, a terrorist organization uprises to prevent what could be the eventual extinction of the human race. Two former LAPD SWAT members join a special mech-piloting, military force to take down the leader of the terrorist organization.
Funimation Entertainment are the best when it comes to their Blu-ray anime releases. They really give a lot of love to these and I respect that. This release comes stocked with a Blu-ray + DVD combo pack. The 1080p transfer is awesome and really works well with this sharp and snazzy CG animation. There are two DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks included for both English and original Japanese audio. In terms of special features, there is nothing too impressive here. There are original previews for both "Tartaros & Ouranos". There is a textless closing song and trailers included.

Blu-ray Review "Appleseed XIII: Complete Series"
Actors: David Matranga, Luci Christian, Charlie Campbell
Directors: Colleen Clinkenbeard
Rated: NR (Not Rated)
DVD Release Date: June 4, 2013
Series: 3.5 out of 5 stars
"Appleseed XIII" is the new Japanese CGI anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow's 1985 science fiction manga series "Appleseed". The series consists of 13 episodes (if you didn't get that from the title). The series focuses on the exploits of ES.W.A.T. members Deunan and her cyborg partner Briareos and stays pretty close the original manga stories. The series was produced in association with Production I.G, aka the makers of "Ghost in the Shell". I am a big fan of "Appleseed" and I am glad to see this series get some new life. I wish it wasn't returned to 13 episodes but it still works and it is a blast for fans looking for more.
If you are a fan of the past films "Appleseed" & "Appleseed Ex Machina", you will be happy to know that David Matranga returns as Briareos and Luci Christian returns as Deunan Knute. So this should make fans of the characters happy. It has also been almost six years since the last film, so this OVA series is very welcomed. "Appleseed XIII" was also compiled into two theatrical feature films in Japan. The first feature film was titled, "Appleseed XIII: Tartaros" and the second titled, "Appleseed XIII: Ouranos".
Funimation gave this OVA series a lot of love. This limited edition Blu-ray release comes in a very sharp hard case with two cases, one for the Blu-ray presentation of this show and the another for the DVD. This is a typical "complete series" release from the studio and is very impressive. The 1080p transfers on the episodes look fantastic and work very well with the CG animation style and non-stop action for this series. There are two audio tracks included, both which are Dolby TrueHD 5.1. Like I mentioned above, I am fan of the English track due to the voice talent that is included. But both of them are comparable and very impressive to satisfy either type of fan.
The special features are pretty awesome as well, just like the series itself. There are two audio track for two episodes. Episode #7 features Mike McFarland, Ian Sinclair and Monica Rial, which is a complete blast to listen to and adds a lot to the episode itself. The second is with Episode #12, which features Colleen Clinkenbeard and David Matrenga, also very informative and a must listen for fans. "The Inside" is a crazy long nearly two and a half hour behind the scenes look at the making of each episode. Plain and simple…this is awesome and highly recommend! Lastly there is a U.S. Trailer, and a Textless Opening and Closing Theme.

Channel Surfing: Shawn Ryan Details What Might Have Been on "The Unit," FX Circles "Louie," "House" Romance Detour, and More
Welcome to your Friday morning television briefing. I'm still recovering from way too good of a time at last night's fantastic FOX party at Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, so luckily just a few headlines to get through today.
Shawn Ryan has told Futon Critic's Brian Ford Sullivan what might have happened next season on military drama The Unit had the series continued on CBS. "[David] Mamet and I and our writers, we came up with a lot of great stuff," Ryan told Sullivan. "It was going to be a whole new show in the sense that we were going to be training some young people, Bob was going to be training some people for a whole new organization. Jonas was finally going to be seeing his run end. The final season was going to be, I figured the fifth season was going to be the last... It was going to be a long, sort of final mission for Jonas. He's not medically cleared, Mac has to go in and sort of change the medical records so that Jonas can keep on [going on missions]. We had a whole thing planned, it was going to be good." Alas... Ryan, meanwhile, is now the showrunner on FOX's Lie to Me and has a pilot, Terriers, in contention at FX. (Futon Critic)
Just a day after it was announced that Louis C.K. would recur on NBC's Parks and Recreation, FX revealed that they had secretly shot a half-hour comedy pilot (tentatively titled Louie) with the comedian. Format will be a mix of stand-up comedy and vignette-style sketches, with actors playing Louis' ex-wife, children, and friends. The cabler, which is looking to find a timeslot companion for comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, will make a decision about Louie and its other comedy pilot The League within the next ten days or so. (Variety)
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that House creator David Shore has indicated that next season will pull back on the House/Cuddy relationship. "We're stepping back from it a little bit," said Shore. "We're not ignoring it. We have to carry forward... It's going to go someplace eventually. But the beginning of this season is primarily focused on House trying to find some semblance of sanity, and not completely succeeding." (Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files)
So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe raised some eyebrows yesterday at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour when he said that he was in talks with Paula Abdul about coming on board So You Think You Can Dance next season as a judge. "There's no question," said Lythgoe, that he would be interested in bringing her to So You Think You Can Dance with FOX Entertainment Chairman Peter Rice's blessing; Lythgoe indicated that talks had already begun. "I don't know anybody that's had her experience of being a dancer, of being a choreographer and of being a judge," said Lythgoe. (Variety)
Rumors are swirling that The Streets singer Mike Skinner is set to appear on the fifth season of Doctor Who, which will launch next year with new lead Matt Smith replacing David Tennant as the Doctor. Skinner announced the news via his Twitter feed, saying "You wouldn't believe the week I've had. I can't talk about it but let's just say I got a part in Doctor Who," but then mysteriously deleted the message shortly thereafter. Hmmm... (Digital Spy)
Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero has signed a two-year overall deal with ABC Studios, under which he will establish a production company--Bernero Prods.--as well as remain on Criminal Minds as an executive producer/showrunner and develop new series projects for the studio. (Hollywood Reporter)
NBC has protested CBS' decision to start airing repeats of its newly acquired series Medium, insisting that the Peacock still has exclusive rights in primetime to the series until September and demanding that CBS pay them for the right to air the repeat installments. (Variety)
Cartoon Network has cast Kevin G. Schmidt (Princess Protection Program), Jordan Gavaris (Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Italia Ricci (Greek) in their one-hour live-action drama pilot Unnatural History, about a teen (Schmidt) who has traveled the globe with his anthropologist parents and returns to the States where he attend a very strange high school. Project, from Warner Horizon, is written by Mike Werb. (Hollywood Reporter)
MTV has ordered an untitled variety/comedy project from actor and dancer Robert Hoffman that will be a blend of hidden camera, dance, and comedy. (Hollywood Reporter)

Registration: JO(Youth) travel teams register their players individually for insurance coverage. When you do individually registration, players receive USA ID cards and accident & liability insurance through Bollinger Insurance. This insurance covers whenever the team plays or practices in any organization play, not just USA!
Frequently asked questions regarding individual registration.
Coverage begins when payment is received in the local USA Softball office and continues through the end of each calendar year (September 1st- August 31st). Coverage includes $500,000 per occurrence limit of Liability Insurance, plus $250,000 Excess Accident Medical Insurance. This insurance package picks up after the individual's primary insurance has paid in the event of a claim. In the event the individual has no personal insurance protection; this policy does act as the primary coverage.
All coaches need to have this. It is good for 3 years from the date taken.


Objects can also store multiple data in a single variable.
Objects are Reference data types. typeof operator will return "object" for Array and Objects. To check datatype of an object, use instanceof(Object) function. instanceof(Object) function will determine whether the passed value is an Object or not.
typeof x;                // return "object"
instanceof of both Arrays and Objects is Object.
To check element inside Object, we can call object.property or object followed by property in brackets. To find first element, call array. This index notation starts from 0 to array.length-1.
user["full-name"];  // return "avinash malhotra"
user.profile;         // return "UI Developer"
user.location;        // return "Noida, Delhi NCR"
user["full-name"];     // return "avinash malhotra"
user["profile"];  // return "UI Developer"
To get all properties of object, for in loop is required. for in loop can access all properties inside object and array.

Bearcats' defense stout in 52-7 victory over Saginaw

Scoring touchdowns on four of their first five drives, the Aledo Bearcats ran past the Saginaw Rough Riders, 52-7, Friday night in a District 6-5A game at Rough Rider Stadium in Saginaw.
The win raises the Bearcats' record to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in district play.
The Bearcats' defense was the shining star again, holding Saginaw to 115 total yards, with most of the yardage coming in the fourth quarter.
"We kind of hang our hats on defense around here," Bearcats head coach Steve Wood said. "We had a lot of big plays on offense, but when they stack eight in the box we have to throw. I thought (quarterback) Jake (Bishop) did a good job of keeping plays alive with his feet, and he threw the ball well.
"Our first defense did not give (Saginaw) much, and again we take pride in our defense."
Aledo struck early when after moving the chains with a 14-yard scramble, Bishop fired a 78-yard touchdown pass to Jeffrey "Scooby" Carter. On the play, Carter easily beat single coverage down the left sideline.
Cole Daniels added the extra point, and just 1:02 into the contest the Bearcats led 7-0.
The next Aledo score was set up by an interception by senior cornerback Giovanni Torres at the AHS 10.
Bishop got the 'Cats out of a third-and-14 hole with a 21-yard keeper to move the chains. Three plays later, Bishop found receiver Beau Mask for a 10-yard gain on third and 10 to keep the drive alive. On the next play, junior tailback Tre Owens blasted off right tackle and went 52 yards to the end zone with 3:38 remaining in the opening quarter.
Daniels' boot increase the Aledo lead to 14-0.
Saginaw achieved its initial first down of the game on the Riders next possession, but it ended when Aledo linebacker Reagan Rice intercepted a tipped pass at the hosts' 37.
Bishop once again used his feet to move the chains as he scooted eight yards to convert a third and seven, which brought the ball to the SHS 16 on the final play of the first quarter.
After senior tailback Jake Norwood carried for 10 yards, the Bearcats scored two plays later when Bishop fired a bullet to a diving Money Parks, and the receiver cradled the six-yard touchdown pass just over inside the goal line.
With 10:45 left in the half, Daniels added the PAT for a 21-0 lead.
The Bearcats' defense got into the scoring act next. On third and 19 from the SHS 15, Aledo junior defensive end Colt Ellison snared a swing pass by Saginaw quarterback Luke Blakely and sprinted 15 yards to the end zone with 9:36 left in the half.
"I have no idea where he was throwing the ball," Ellison said. "When I caught it I knew I would score."
Daniels' PAT kick extended the lead to 28-0.
After a quick three and out that forced another Saginaw punt, it took only one play for Aledo to find the end zone. On first and 10 from his own 39, Bishop tossed a lofty pass down the left sideline to senior receiver Hunter Rosson, who beat single coverage by three steps on his way to completing a 61-yard touchdown play.
Daniels added the PAT, and with 7:50 remaining in the second period the Bearcats' lead grew to 35-0, where it remained at the half.
Once again, the Bearcats' defense was rock solid. Saginaw gained just 20 total yards in the first half and was limited to three first downs.
Aledo scored on its opening possession of the second half. A 40-yard Bishop-to-Rosson pass completion put the ball in Saginaw territory, and three plays later, Bishop found receiver Jay Miller for a 26-yard touchdown. On the play, Miller bobbled the pass, but quickly gathered it in waltzed to the end zone.
With 8:25 left in the third period, Will Turner booted the PAT to increase the lead to 42-0.
An interception by Jake Ford on Saginaw's next possession set up another Aledo score.
On the first play of the drive, Bishop flipped a shovel pass in the middle to Norwood, who was initially bottled up. However, Norwood spun out of trouble to break a tackle and outran two defenders to the end zone to complete a 29-yard touchdown play.
Jack Phillips booted the PAT as Aledo led 49-0 with 6:46 left in the third quarter.
On Saginaw's ensuing possession another interception – this time by Wyatt Harris – led to an Aledo score. He picked of the ball at the Saginaw 25 and advanced the ball to the hosts' 13.
But the drive stalled, and Will Turner kicked a 27-yard field goal to extend the lead to 52-0 with 1:52 left in the third period.
Saginaw committed its sixth turnover of the game on its next possession when AHS senior defensive end Bobby Hufnagle recovered a fumble at the end of the third quarter.
Saginaw closed the scoring with the lone score of the fourth quarter when running back Michael Jones scored on a 39-yard run, with Felix Cano adding the extra point.

Q: Django Form Validation with Javascript How can I validate a form in Django template using JavaScript dynamically  on the client-side, without going to the server? I am creating the form using the below code:
{% for field in form %}
    {% if field.field.required %}
        *
    {% endif %}
    {% if field.errors %}
         {{ field.label_tag }}:{{field.errors.0}} {{ field }}
    {% else %}
        {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
    {% endif %}

In the JS I want to check whether the field is required or not. If it is required then check whether data was entered or not. If enter ok, else raise an alert. If all required fields are filled then only allow to call the url from the form.

A: Have you tryied this?
From https://code.google.com/p/django-ajax-forms/
 {% load ajax_form_utils %}
