REVIEW: Big Little Lies – Season Two (2019)
Jeffrey Rex Bertelsen Reviews, TV Reviews July 23, 2019 4 Minutes
Release Poster – HBO
The following is a review of the second season of HBO's Big Little Lies.
The second season of Big Little Lies — now directed by Andrea Arnold, but more on that later — follows the so-called Monterey Five — Madeline (played by Reese Witherspoon), Celeste (played by Nicole Kidman), Jane (played by Shailene Woodley), Renata (played by Laura Dern), and Bonnie (played by Zoe Kravitz) — during the aftermath of Perry Wright's death. Bonnie is struggling as she feels incredibly guilty about what she did. So guilty, in fact, that she considers turning herself in to the local police. Just as Celeste is struggling as a single mother, Perry's mother, Mary Louise (played by Meryl Streep), starts to question not just her son's death but her daughter-in-law's claim that she is a victim. Meanwhile, Madeline's marriage is coming apart and Renata's financial security is at risk of collapsing.
I'm a sucker for limited series. I genuinely loved Jean-Marc Vallee's first season of Big Little Lies. It was fascinating, soapy, comedic, and thrilling. And, of course, it featured these phenomenal actresses giving it their all. I thought it was an above-average, greatly enjoyable limited series. However, HBO and Big Little Lies' stars won countless limited series awards due to category fraud. I felt cheated and frustrated when it was announced that the series would return for a second season even though its producers, stars, and its director claimed that it wouldn't be necessary or a good idea. It was absolutely unnecessary, I thought. And after having seen all seven episodes of the second season, I can say that the second season never justified its existence as anything other than a blatant attempt to shoehorn another great actress into a series that had already run its course. The biggest and most obvious lie of them all was that a second season was necessary or worthwhile.
Let's get one thing out of the way early: I think these actresses are brilliant. Laura Dern has so many brilliantly satisfying temper-tantrums this season. Zoe Kravitz, though sidelined and done no favors, gives a solid but easily overlooked performance. Seeing Witherspoon, Kidman, and the rest of the cast contend with Meryl Streep's brilliantly offensive and galling character can be really entertaining. But the memorable screams, baseball bat freakouts, and slaps are mere moments in a season that, to me, is defined by an aimless and pointless narrative with disappointingly unearned subplots.
The biggest talking point about Big Little Lies right now is the controversy surrounding the direction, editing, and production of the hit series. In case you've somehow missed it, let me sum it up for you. Essentially, Andrea Arnold was meant to direct the entire season and present these characters in her unique vision. However, when all of the episodes had been shot and Arnold was getting ready to oversee the post-production, HBO allegedly took the second season away from Arnold and let the director of the first season — Jean-Marc Vallee — reshoot and edit the second season in an attempt to make the two seasons feel more similar. HBO cruelly attempted to remove the visual style that Arnold had attempted to bring to the established series. Arnold was, allegedly, not aware of HBO's plan to erase her vision. It's baffling that HBO thought that was a smart thing to do to a show like this.
Whether a direct result of the controversial shift or not, the second season of Big Little Lies suffers from a lack of purpose. Writers David E. Kelley and Liane Moriarty have put together an unsatisfying story that does very little to advance the narrative over the course of the seven-episode season. Characters merely spin their wheels for episodes on end, which leads to a weird feeling of deja-vu more than once because the series goes absolutely nowhere and becomes frustratingly repetitive. Honestly, they could've ended this season after two-or-three episodes, and they probably should've. I became weary of dream sequences used tirelessly to foreshadow or telegraph a potential character death. On top of this, the editing is choppy, and certain scenes seem jumbled together without a unifying visual style.
Madeline's storyline is fairly insignificant, and its conclusion feels like an unearned cheat. We are robbed of the full potential of Renata's storyline. Bonnie is entangled in a storyline that is particularly oddly put together with its many deliberate misdirections. I think the show failed Kravitz and her character this season. Jane is a bit-part player in the drama that overtakes the season: the trial that puts Kidman's Celeste at odds with Streep's Mary Louise. Though their exchanges can be electrifying and entertainingly infuriating, the trial itself is preposterous nonsense. And the most absurd part of it all may be the speeches that interrupt the verdict in the season finale.
Big Little Lies simultaneously suffers from not having enough story for an entire season, being absolutely pointless, and rushing to unearned endings for plot threads that were fundamental to the season. The notion that Big Little Lies was being given a second season was frustrating in the first place, and, having now seen it, my fears and frustrations were justified. HBO and the series' creators should've left well enough alone instead of providing us with a frustratingly hollow and pointless second season that, though buoyed up by temper tantrums and uniformly strong performances, was, ultimately, hamstrung by choppy editing and bad writing.

Let's Break Down Everything 'Westworld' Fans Know About Serac's Mysterious Brother
By Ani Bundel
It took five episodes, but Westworld Season 3 finally dived into the backstory of its villain, Engerraund Serac. After spending weeks hinting around the edge of who Serac was, and why he built Rehoboam, the series finally confirmed the details. Engerraund Serac was born in Paris. He and his older brother were playing on the city's outskirts when the nuclear devastation hit, and the two of them managed survive together. But fans have questions, starting with who is Serac's brother? Warning: Spoilers for Westworld Season 3 follow.
So far, Serac has barely appeared in person, other than to Maeve. Despite seeming to live in a mansion, and controlling Rehoboam, he's only ever been seen alone. Liam Dempsey Jr., for instance, refers to Serac has the co-founder of Incite, with no mention of anyone else.
But according to Serac's own telling of his history to Rehoboam, he was never alone. He wasn't the creative genius behind the machine's creation, it was his brother. His brother was the reason they survived Paris, and Rehoboam was his baby. It was their dream together to build a god to protect this world, but his brother was the one to make it happen.
Viewers also learned a bit about Liam Dempsey Sr., the father who was part of this team. In Serac's telling, Dempsey was a moron, a money man who threatened to shut down a project he didn't understand if it wasn't making him rich.
Serac's brother was the one who figured out how to quiet Dempsey down. They took $5 million of the company's money and showed him how they could predict and manipulate the stock market into turning it into $100 million in a matter of a week.
But Rehoboam's real mission, to both brothers, was its ability to weed out the chaos agents to come, to keep the world on a steady track. It identified the Hitlers and the Henry VIIIs before they could refashion the world to their liking with little regard for the mess and removed them.
But Rehoboam couldn't erase these people from the narrative. Instead, Serac rounded them up, keeping them locked away as Rehoboam tried to change their trajectory. Then one day, Rehoboam identified a chaos agent close to home. Fans have assumed this was Liam Sr. (Liam Jr. has all but accused Serac of murdering his father.) But it was Serac's brother, who Rehoboam revealed was plotting to murder Dempsey.
As Serac tells it, his brother's need to control the future began to drive him mad. The last we see of the elder Serac, he's been moved into the lab for study, in hopes one day Rehoboam could help him too.
But this story, told by an already unreliable narrator villain, leaves holes. It's not clear if Serac's brother is still alive, for instance. Nor is it clear if he's still locked away. And it is curious that when Dempsey learned of all this, Serac's response was to do as his brother had planned, killing Liam Sr. in a staged plane crash.
Is Serac's brother alive still? Is he in control? How is it that fans learned so much about Engerraund and yet come away feeling like they still know so little?

Q: is Tree, a data structure or abstract data type? I hear many people referring tree as a data structure. But trees are mostly implemented using Linked Lists, or Arrays. So does it make it an abstract data type?
Given a type of structure, how can we determine whether it is a data structure or abstract data type?

A: If you are talking about a general Tree without specifying its implementation or any underlying data structure used, itself is an Abstract Data Type(ADT). ADT is any data type that doesn't specify its implementation.
But once you start talking about a concrete Tree with specific implementation using Linked List or Arrays, then that kind of concrete tree is a data structure.
With the above out of the way, the following may help you clear other confusions related to your question. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Data Type
The definition of data type from Wikipedia:

A data type or simply type is a classification identifying one of various types of data.

Data type is only a classification of data. It doesn't have any specifications about how those data are implemented. IMHO, data type is only a theoretical concept.
For example, any real number can be of the data type real. But along with integers, they can both be classified as a numeric data type, say number.
As I just pointed out, ADT is one kind of data type. But whether string, int can be considered as ADTs?
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes, because programming languages can have many ways to implement string and int ; but on one condition that through out all programming languages, these data types must share consistent properties.
No, because these primitive data types are not as abstract as stacks or queues. Since these data types seldom share consistent properties in every programming language, users of them must know the underlying problems like arithmetic overflow, etc.. Two languages may both have the int data type, but one ranges up to infinity and the other up to 2^32. This kind of technical detail must-knows is not what ADTs have promised. Let's look at stacks instead. In every programming language, stack can promise you with consistent procedures like pop, push. No other details on implementation level you should know about them, you just use them however you like it in every language.
Data Structure
Let's see the definition of data structure from Wiki:

A data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.

As you can see, data structure is all about implementations. It is not conceptual but concrete. In my opinion, every piece of data in a program can by definition be considered as a data structure. A string can. An int can. And a whole bunch of other things like LinkedList_Stack or Array_Stack are all data structures.
Some of you might argue why int is a data structure? It's a data structure in a lower level from a programming language's author's view. Because programming languages can have many ways storing an int data type in a computer. The most common solution is two's complement, other alternatives are offset binary and ones' complement etc. However, from a user's view, we see int as the primitive data type which a programming language offers out of the box, we don't care its implementation. It's just the building block of one programming language. So for us users, any data constructed by these building blocks(primitive data types) of a programming language is more like a data structure. While for authors of programming languages, the building blocks are some lower level machine code, so for them int is definitely a data structure.
Put simply, whether one thing is a data structure or not really depends on how we look at it.

A: Via google:

In computer science, an abstract data type (ADT) is a mathematical
  model for a certain class of data structures that have similar
  behavior

So clearly, it is both.

Is the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism independent?
Does the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism address specific cases?
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism is an independent body which promotes the rights of people with disabilities, contributes to their protection and monitors implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Germany.
The mandate of the independent National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism springs directly from the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (PDF, 107 KB, not barrier free) (Article 33, Paragraph 2): its mission is to promote and monitor implementation of the UN CRPD in Germany, and safeguard the rights it protects. The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism understands its role as that of providing critical and constructive input in support of the implementation process. It is the only official entity in Germany monitoring the status of implementation of the UN convention.
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism conducts research to get a picture of the living situations of people with disabilities in Germany and the current developments relating to UN-CRPD implementation. It advises – to the extent its limited resources allow – politicians at the federal and state level, ministry and agency officials and courts, as well as non-governmental bodies and associations, on all issues relating to the UN CRPD. The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism prepares publications and issues statements and recommendations on political, administrative and judicial decisions and – when necessary– calls urging compliance with the UN CRPD. It organizes events, for instance its regular meetings with people with disabilities, disability advocacy organizations and the federal and state officials charged with affairs relating to people with disabilities.
In addition, the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism educates the public about the rights of persons with disabilities by way of its press releases and outreach activities. It also makes information on UN-CRPD issues available to interested persons on its website.
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism currently has a staff of ten, which is supplemented by interns and/or law school graduates who are completing part of their practical training (Rechtsrefendariat) here.
Currently the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism does not have a staff member with a more severe disability. However it has had experience with employees with impairments.
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism works closely with the key federal and state ministries involved in implementing the convention and with the federal and state officials charged with affairs relating to disability, as well as with civil society disability advocacy organizations. The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism also exchanges information and experience relating to disability-related issues with other national human rights institutions and independent bodies on a regular basis.
Monitoring is not the responsibility of the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism alone. The convention calls on other civil society organizations and in particular persons with disabilities and their representative non-governmental organizations, to support and monitor its implementation. To promote cooperation in this area with civil society, the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism organizes tri-annual conferences known as the Civil Society Consultations.
Another of the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism's tasks is to report on implementation of the convention in Germany to the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (this Geneva-based body of experts regularly reviews implementation of the convention); the report is submitted within the framework of what is known as the report consideration process (see also parallel reporting).
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism was set up within the German Institute for Human Rights in Berlin in 2009 pursuant to an order of the Federal Cabinet and the adoption of the CRPD Ratification Act at the Bundestag. The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism receives its funding from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which is the part of the German government which focuses on matters relating to the CRPD. With the creation of this monitoring structure, Germany fulfilled a specific commitment under the UN CRPD.
The German Institute for Human Rights is a "national human rights institution" as defined in the "Paris Principles" of the United Nations (A status). The purpose of such institutions is to promote implementation of human rights standards, such as the UN Covenants on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Civil and Political Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is both logical, given the type of expertise required, and fitting from a broader perspective that the role of promoting and monitoring CRPD implementation be assigned to the German Institute for Human Rights. The German government officially consulted the German Disability Council on the question before issuing this mandate to the institute. The Council declared itself in favour of doing so, as it felt that the organizational home of the UN CRPD should be that of human rights.
The establishment of the CRPD Monitoring Mechanism initiated a shift in awareness in the German Institute for Human Rights, causing the institute to become more sensitive to the rights of people with disabilities. The institute now aspires to mainstream the "disability" issue in all of its work, incorporating it in all areas of its activity. In addition, accessibility has become an important topic in the institute with respect to access to information and staffing, for example. For instance, the institute's library, which is open to the public, now has a workstation that is highly accessible to people who are blind or have a visual impairment.
The German Institute for Human Rights obtains its funding from the German Bundestag.
Yes. The fact that the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism receives government financing does not mean that the government interferes with its work. In formal terms, the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism's independence is ensured by the terms of its mandate. In addition, the National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism is part of the German Institute for Human Rights – Germany's independent national human rights institution – the independence of which is monitored at the international level.
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism is free to choose its staff and the focuses of its work. Its independence makes it an actor sui generis: it plays a unique role and sees itself as under obligation only to the UN convention.
The National CRPD Monitoring Mechanism does not have a mandate to investigate specific complaints or provide legal advice in individual cases. It does not fulfil the role of an ombudsman. It does though, to the best of its abilities, respond to inquiries by referring people to appropriate advising services.

'Very confident' Babar Azam finds form to help Pakistan reach T20 World Cup final
Pakistan captain Babar Azam feels more assured in his stick and prepared for the T20 World Cup final after finding form in his side's seven-wicket win over New Zealand.
Babar is widely regarded as one of the best red-and-white-ball hitters in the world, but he averaged just 7.8 during the Super 12 group stage of the tournament, amassing just 39 points in 63 balls.
His skinny trot could have continued when his outside edge was grazed on the first delivery he was faced with by New Zealand dressmaker Trent Boult, but a diving Devon Conway took advantage of the opportunity.
The fall was something of a sliding door moment for Babar, whose 53 from 42 balls in a 105-point opening stand alongside Mohammad Rizwan was crucial as Pakistan reached a goal of 153 with five bullets to spare.

Rizwan, who contributed 57 out of 43 deliveries, had also been largely disappointed in Australia and although Babar's downfall was more pronounced, he is confident he has now turned a corner.
And as his side head to the MCG for Sunday's showpiece game against fierce rivals India or England, who play the second semi-final in Adelaide on Thursday, Babar is in an optimistic mood.
"I'm very confident about my stick," he said.
"I struggled a bit in a few games, but I feel good, so I (want) to continue this momentum in the final."
Only one victory separates Pakistan from the most unlikely of tournament triumphs. They lost their first two games against India and Zimbabwe but bounced back against the Netherlands and South Africa.

The Proteas' shock loss to the Netherlands then left the door ajar for Pakistan, who secured a place in the top two of their Super 12 group by beating Bangladesh.
They will now be full of confidence heading to Melbourne, where Pakistan have fond memories of winning the 50th World Cup 30 years ago under manager Imran Khan.
"(Reaching the final) means a lot," Babar said. "To be honest we didn't start well but after the game against South Africa we had hope and after that we took the opportunity.
"Now we are playing our best cricket, and Alhamdulillah, we will play well in the final."
As Babar and Rizwan helped Pakistan overhaul New Zealand's 152 in four, Shaheen Shah Afridi set the tone for the evening by knocking out Finn Allen with the third point of the match.

The left arm quickly finished with two for 24, with the Black Caps grateful for Daryl Mitchell's 53 not on 35 balls, increasing their tally after struggling to win on tricky ground.
"Everyone knows he is the best bowler in Pakistan and the world," Babar added of Afridi.
New Zealand, beaten runners-up last year, followed a below-par performance with the bat with a bit of uncharacteristic sloppiness on the pitch, losing three catches in total while well-beaten.
Kiwis captain Kane Williamson said: "The frustrating thing is that we weren't quite in top form.
"We fought hard and showed good characteristics which are important for our team and the attitude you want to see, but it wasn't. That's the frustrating part for me.

Looking at Sarah from Little Mosque
Posted by Krista Riley on 20 Oct 2008 / 0 Comment
The third season of Little Mosque on the Prairie has just started up, so I figured it was time to have a discussion about it. Actually, I'll be honest and admit that really, the reason I'm talking about it is that I wrote a paper on it for a class on popular culture last week, and figured I'd multi-task by tweaking the paper to post on MMW as well. But still. Although Little Mosque has been discussed on MMW a few times already, there's always lots to say..
As a white Muslim woman who doesn't wear hijab, I've always paid particular attention to the character of Sarah, played by Sheila McCarthy. In fact, for a really long time, she was the only representation (real or fictional) that I had ever encountered of a Muslim woman who shared my ethnic background and didn't wear a headscarf. It's hard to explain why this was so significant, but in our society where Muslims are so often illustrated as necessarily the "other," it feels sometimes like we're told that you're either Muslim or you're white, and those images can get confusing for someone who fits completely into both categories. Since I don't wear a scarf, and have an English-sounding name, I'm always seen as white (and therefore generally assumed not to be Muslim, which can lead to weird situations.) I was excited to see that Little Mosque had a character who was similarly located in terms of identity.
Although there are a lot of problems (which I will get into in a second), I do have to say that I really appreciate that Sarah's character is there. She is clear about the fact that she is Muslim, and makes a point of mentioning her Muslim identity in several of the shows, even when she is not following traditional Islamic practices. This may allow the audience to understand the definition of a Muslim in ways that they may not have previously considered: she doesn't "look" like (their impression of) a Muslim, she doesn't "act" like a Muslim, so what is it that makes her a Muslim? Sarah's mere presence on the show has the potential to demonstrate that "Muslim" is, for many people, first and foremost a personal spiritual affiliation, and not an identity that has to be read from the outside. Given that the category of "Muslim" seems to be increasingly racialised as always a foreign identity in the media, political discourses, and elsewhere, alternate images are hugely important.
There is a (not entirely unfounded) stereotype among Muslims that those who have newly embraced Islam tend to immediately take on many of the most conservative understandings of Islamic practice, and distance themselves in many ways (changing their name, adopting new clothing, and so on) from the cultures in which they were raised. I appreciate that Sarah's character diverges from this image. The construction of her character affirms that people who become Muslim don't automatically have to become model followers of the faith, and that it is possible to be Muslim without this being the main defining feature of someone's life. Sarah manages to become Muslim without the rest of her life changing in massive ways, which may convey that Islam is not as incompatible with Western society as some people assume it to be. Sarah's presence on the show is an important tool of disrupting notions of who gets identified as "Muslim" and of what that identification actually means.
On the other hand, I worry that certain aspects of Sarah's character may actually bolster some negative and even harmful images of the relationship between Muslims and white non-Muslims in Canada. Sarah rarely says anything positive about Islam; she self-identifies as a "bad Muslim" (which is a whole other discussion in itself), complains about the Islamic lunar calendar (proposing they change the month of fasting to December rather than Ramadan, because days are always short and shopping is good), whines about missing Christmas, and scoffs at various other Islamic traditions. Although Sarah's identity as a Muslim might challenge viewers' impressions of who Muslims are, her dismissal of so many of Islam's beliefs and practices may confirm for the non-Muslim audiences of the show that such concepts are still foreign, archaic, or just plain weird. The value of having a Muslim character who shares the ethno-cultural background of mainstream Canadian viewers is negated to some degree by the fact that this character allows such viewers to remain relatively comfortable in their suspicion of Islam.
Sarah also demonstrates that she knows very little about Islam, even the basics. She defines herself repeatedly as a "bad Muslim," and lacks elementary knowledge on practices such as the ritual prayer, despite presumably having been Muslim for at least a couple decades. In the episode entitled "The Convert," Sarah makes a bet with her daughter that she will be able to pray five times a day for an entire month. It only takes a short while for this effort to make her exhausted and disoriented, with no time for her work. On a personal level, I am annoyed that the one popular culture representation of a Muslim who looks like me is so flaky; on a broader level, I am concerned about what message this sends about Islam's requirements. Praying five times a day is one of the most basic pillars of Islam, and is followed by millions of people around the world, most of whom still manage to function just fine in the other aspects of their lives. While Sarah's inability to cope with this practice can certainly be taken as simply indicative of personal flaws in her own character, I do worry that it could also convey a message that following Islam is an unrealistic burden that just doesn't fit within a Western lifestyle. (At no point does the show demonstrate to us that other characters likely do pray five times daily, and unlike Sarah, manage to go normally about their lives.) I also worry that the fact that this "bad Muslim" doesn't wear hijab implies that all the rest of us non-hijab-wearing Muslim women also don't pray regularly (or know how to do so), or don't know much about the religion, when of course there is a wide range of knowledge and practice both among those who don't wear hijab and among those who do.
Another thing that bugs me about Sarah's character is the way that she may reinforce the common stereotype of (most) Muslim women being oppressed. For example, during the "Barrier" episode in the first season (see the clip above, starting around 5:30), a group of white women from the town come to the mosque to protest plans to build a barrier between the men's and women's sections of the prayer space. As they chant, "Oppressed Muslim women of the world, cut your chains and be free!" Sarah says that she will handle the situation. She approaches the women and whispers that she completely agrees with them, then proceeds to loudly berate them about how they are infringing on the rights of Muslim women to make their own decisions about how they would prefer to pray. She points to Fatima, a woman who actually wants the barrier, and criticises the protesters for making assumptions about the needs of women of colour. As the leader stammers an apology, Sarah whispers to her that she appreciates that they came, and that she will call them if she needs their help.
While Sarah's louder comments were actually quite poignant (and much more consistent with my own position on what those protesters needed to be told), she undermines them with her secret identification with the protesters, implying that Muslim women do in fact need white non-Muslim outsiders to save them, and legitimising the kinds of imperialist feminisms in which many white non-Muslim western women engage. Her whispered contradictions of her more loudly-stated points also suggest that Fatima should not, in fact, be trusted to make her own decisions, and that it is indeed entirely appropriate to make decisions on behalf of marginalised women. Sarah's own whiteness allows her to maintain her own voice and agency within this discussion, without challenging common conceptions of most Muslim women as oppressed victims in need of saving. I'm concerned that scenes such as this one, and others where Sarah voices her disagreement with other facets of Islam, may actually allow the audience to hold on to their personal prejudices about Muslims, and may even lend validity to these perceptions.
So I'm a bit torn on how I feel about this (and about other aspects of the show, but I'll stop at Sarah for now.) Does Sarah's character challenge the idea of "Muslim" as a foreign identity, belonging only to those who look "different" or come from "over there"? Or does she reinforce ideas of Islam and its practices as strange and often oppressive, with its traditional practices being largely incompatible with mainstream Canadian culture? My own impression is that she does both, and while I still appreciate her presence in the show, I am not convinced that this presence is always a positive force. I do keep watching though, largely out of sheer curiosity, but also out of hope that its effects on Canadian (and global) viewers will ultimately be more beneficial than harmful.
Does religion trump race? Yes, at least in Singapore.

Benson, Chivukula, Lampitt & Eustace Bill to Enable Comprehensive Care to Sick Children & Their Families Approved by Assembly
Benson Lampitt News & Releases Regulated Professions
Bill Would Allow for Pediatric Respite Care Facilities in New Jersey
(TRENTON) – Legislation Assembly Democrats Daniel R. Benson, Upendra Chivukula, Pamela R. Lampitt and Tim Eustace sponsored to enable facilities that provide comprehensive services to children with limited life expectancy or complex illnesses and give support to their families was approved 78-0 Monday by the General Assembly.
The bill (A-3558) would allow for the licensure of pediatric respite care facilities in the state.
"It's a sad and tragic reality, but many families in New Jersey who have children with limited life expectancies or complex illnesses can become overwhelmed," said Benson (D-Mercer/Middlesex). "New Jersey lacks adequate support services to give respite for families responsible 24 hours per day for very sick children. We can change that for the benefit of the children and families alike."
"Community-based, comprehensive, family-centered pediatric respite care facilities in other states have enhanced the quality of life for very ill children and for their families," said Chivukula (D-Somerset/Middlesex). "Similar pediatric respite care facilities should be authorized to operate in this state to ensure that children and their families receive the best possible support."
"Giving our families – and thus their children – the best support possible in these often tragic circumstances is the right thing to do," said Lampitt (D-Camden/Burlington). "It's worked elsewhere and there's no reason New Jersey can't do the same."
"In such difficult circumstances, families can feel overburdened, and that, in turn, can negatively impact the care received by these children who deserve our very best," said Eustace (D-Bergen/Passaic). "If we can improve the quality of life of these families with this simple step in the right direction, then we should do it."
The bill defines "pediatric respite care facility" to mean a facility licensed by the Department of Health that provides home-like care in a facility for two weeks or less of respite care, or as necessary for end-of-life care or as medically necessary for children up to age 21 with limited life expectancies or complex, life-limiting illnesses and support for their families.
The facilities would also employ an interdisciplinary team to assist in providing curative treatment when possible, palliative care, and supportive services to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and economic needs of children and their families during illness, as well as during dying and bereavement if no cure is attained.
The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Health to establish by regulation the standards for operation of these facilities and the requirements of applicants seeking licensure to operate them. The requirements are to include, but are not limited to, criminal history record background checks of each staff member and facility administrator, reasonable fees for the issuance or renewal of licenses, and standards and policies regarding the core services to be provided, professional personnel requirements, standards of patient care, and administration of the facility.
The bill now awaits further consideration by the Senate.


Certainty of Christian fact, by itself, is not enough to get you through overwhelming pain. The only permanent solution to pain is a strong sense of genuine, practical purpose.
A mind set on pain leads to despair and failure. But a mind set on accomplishing a truly important task or entrusted purpose will struggle onward no matter what the obstacle.
Purpose becomes focused and practical through goals, plans, and routines.
Christians don't get to pick their own life goals because they've chosen instead to accept God's purpose for their lives: OBEYING AND PROMOTING THE SIMPLE GOSPEL as determined "Message keepers." This means they must deliberately attack their personal sins and replace them with godly habits and activities. But how?
Critical goals will remain only wishful thinking unless you make specific, workable plans to accomplish them, then test and develop those plans into regular routines. Good planning emphasizes slow, steady progress over many years–not quick, magic results.
Routines are like rungs on a ladder, which help you get through a day (or week, or month, or year) step-by-step. They help you struggle against your pain so you can live a more useful, godly life. Without them, you will be overwhelmed by discouragement and destructive behavior.

Become a Hope Ambassador
March Updates
Thank you for your generous support to the International Children's Fund over the years. Together we are making an incredible difference in the lives of desperately poor children and their families in Africa and India.
While it's still snowing in parts of the US, many African children are returning to school. Through the diligent efforts of our local ICF partners, you are there, providing meals, school supplies, medical treatment, and more. Together we're building a brighter future for those in greatest need. Education is key to helping these kids overcome poverty and empowering these children to bring change to their communities. Isn't it humbling to think that you and I have the power to help achieve this change?
Your gifts of $10, $20, and even more add up to create a HUGE impact on those that we serve.
Your donation is truly an investment in a young life. It reminds a child that SOMEONE truly cares. Your gift will tell a child that he or she matters to us – and to God. What a huge message of encouragement and support!
Indeed, God knows the plans and purposes He has for each child. Think of the biblical story of Queen Esther that tells of an obscure young girl empowered to bring freedom and change to her people. We pray these children become culture-changers. With God, all things are possible!
As we move into 2020, we're excited to report that we have developed a new ministry partnership with Pastor Geoffrey of the Kingdom Care Orphanage in Togo, West Africa. Pastor Geoffrey and his volunteer team regularly serve more 85 orphans at this facility each day – providing food, clothes, education, and, most of all, love.
"There are many more needs," says Pastor Geoffrey. "We have 150 more children in the surrounding communities that are waiting for our help."
Kingdom Care ministry operates a school and provides clothes, shoes, school supplies, and three meals a day for the children in their care. The all-volunteer staff consists of five widows and two men.
Things are difficult in Togo! There is growing instability! Pastor Geoff requests: "Please pray that God would bring peace to the country of Togo.
Please also pray for our provision and safety as we offer discipleship projects in the surrounding communities; it is a far walk to reach communities in the bush."
Togo is a small country in West Africa with a population of approximately 8 million, where 70% of the rural population lives below the poverty line, and one in eight children will not reach their 5th birthday. Suffice it to say; there is a tremendous need in Togo.
As you know, ICF is committed to making sustainable improvements in the lives that we serve – leading toward selfsufficiency. ICF's partnership with Pastor Geoffrey will begin by providing funds to create a fish farm. The fish farm will consist of two ponds, which will be stocked with tilapia and with catfish. The program will provide food for the orphanage and a marketable product for the region. The second project will be to drill a water well to provide clean water. Their only current water source is the local river, which is used by the livestock and is not safe to drink. Imagine the impact that a local source of fresh water and fresh fish will have upon the orphanage and the local community. These are truly sustainable changes that will lead forward to self-sufficiency.
ICF has supported a fish farm project previously, in Ghana. Last year ICF worked with our ministry partner in Ghana to install a similar fish farm. The project is providing fresh fish – a wonderful source of protein – to the mission and a future source of micro-commerce as they sell the surplus to the local villagers.
Regular giving helps us support projects like this one in Togo. We call these donors Hope Ambassadors because they help ICF to provide critical resources to those who truly face life and death needs in Africa and India.
Through your generosity, ICF partners are working diligently to bring hope and practical resources to thousands of children and families in desperate circumstances in many severely impoverished areas of Africa and India.
Please know that every gift, no matter how large or small, is an answer to our prayers and an investment in the life of a child. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your continued prayers and financial support.
Support ICF's important work to help children in Togo

Nicolas Vial, né le  à Paris, est un dessinateur de presse et peintre français.

Biographie
Nicolas Vial est né à Paris et a vécu son enfance à Dourdan, où son père était éditeur (éditions Vial).

Il est le père d'Alice Vial, scénariste, réalisatrice, actrice, de Bruno Vial (1988-2016) et d'Antonin Vial.

Diplômé de l'École nationale supérieure des Arts appliqués et des métiers d'Art en 1978, il est élève à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris jusqu'en 1981.

À partir de 1982, il dessine pour le journal Le Monde ainsi que d'autres quotidiens et magazines. Il crée des albums pour enfants et des affiches pour le cinéma, l'édition et la publicité. Il reçoit le grand prix de l'humour tendre au Salon international du dessin de presse et d'humour de Saint-Just-le-Martel (Haute-Vienne) en 1997.

Depuis 2003, il dessine des timbres-poste pour La Poste. Sa sélection par le SNTP pour la réalisation de son premier timbre  est le fait de la députée européenne Pervenche Berès.

Il est également connu pour ses peintures marines. En 2008, il est nommé peintre officiel de la Marine.

En 2014, il est écarté du Monde pour un dessin jugé trop défavorable à François Hollande. En mai, il rejoint Le Figaro Magazine, où il aura un dessin pleine page « Signé Vial » chaque semaine pendant un an et demi.

La même année, le directeur du musée national de la Marine de Paris, l'amiral Loïc Finaz, lui demande de réaliser des peintures murales dans l'ancien appartement de fonction du musée.

En 2016, il investit le couvent des Sœurs aveugles de Saint-Paul au 88, avenue Denfert-Rochereau à Paris, et crée pendant huit mois une œuvre éphémère.

En 2022, il effectue une rotation aux Iles Eparses, dans l'océan Indien d'avril à mai, à bord du brise-glace l'Astrolabe navire de la Marine Nationale, des Terres Australes et Antarctiques Françaises (TAAF) et de l'Institut polaire Paul Emile Victor. Cette mission fera l'objet d'un livre aux éditions du Chêne « Un brise-glace sous les tropiques » (parution décembre 2022), d'un portfolio dans la revue Le Chasse-Marée n°330 de décembre et d'une double page dans le hors-série du Monde « Réparer la mer pour sauver l'homme ». Durant cette expédition un journaliste du Monde l'a suivi par satellite et a écrit 16 chroniques, jour après jour dont voici la dernière, récapitulative: https://www.lemonde.fr/mondephilatelique/article/2022/06/05/nicolas-vial-ce-que-j-aime-dans-l-astrolabe-c-est-qu-il-y-a-des-ponts-partout-a-l-ancienne_6129034_5470897.html

The Next Horizon
Technology is changing faster than ever. Join Kelly Lynch and key innovators from Dell Technologies as they look toward the horizon of what's next and answer the big questions around emerging technologies.
Democratizing the Manufacturing Industry
by Dell Technologies
By this point, most industries have experienced some sort of digital revolution. As evidenced by this year's Digital Transformation Index, no one wants to be a "digital laggard." But, some industries have shown up a little later to the party; manufacturing included. One particulary company, Xometry, has taken on that challenge. By creating an online platform for businesses and individuals to request manufacture of a particular part or product and simultaneously curating a collection of suppliers, Xometry is expediting the traditional manufacturing process, exponentially. This week, host Kelly ..read more
Predicting the Future of Technology in 2021
by John Roese, Kelly Lynch
Without video conferencing tools, higher internet speeds and personal computers capable of handling individual-specific workloads, productivity would have been nearly impossible in 2020. Technology has enabled us to continue our lives as undisrupted as possible while staying home. But how will 2021 prove to be another year of incredible advancement in the realm of technology? This week, John Roese joins host Kelly Lynch to offer his perspective on a number of emerging technologies. Whether it's the further expansion of 5G or the movement towards a more viable quantum computer, John predicts th ..read more
Bringing Goodness to AI Through Explainability
Voice assistants. Movie recommendations. Car insurance. Facial recognition software. All of these things use artificical intelligence and machine learning in one way or another. For the most part, we don't feel the need to question why we get a particular movie recommendation on whatever streaming application we use. However, when you start moving into applications that have the potential for more serious outcomes, there becomes a need for understanding that "why." This is where explainable AI comes in. Unlike traditional programming, AI and ML algorithms are trained using batches of data; not ..read more
Simulating Meaningful Experiences in an Increasingly Virtual World
Yes, Dell Technologies sells servers and computers. Sure, we now sell storage as-a-service. But, there is an entire group behind the scenes focused solely on conducting research about nascent and emerging technologies. This group, called the Office of the CTO (OCTO) Research Organization, is chock full of incredibly smart people trying to figure out where specific technologies are today, where they are heading, and how we need to examine the ethical implications of all possibilities before that new future arrives. Malini Bhattacharjee and Danqing Sha are two women who happen to be conducting r ..read more
Unleashing Ingenuity and Efficiency with 5G
Let's think about the primary innovations of 5G in the form of a stool, meaning it will be propped up by three specific things. The first is, yes, those faster speeds; this we know. But, it's those second and third legs of the stool that really make it a cool stool [rhymes rule]. 5G will also bring about ultra-reliable, low-latency communications (leg two), as well as massive machine-type communications (leg three). These three incredible technological advancements are what will ultimately prop up 5G, and they represent a massive enterprise-level transformation. This week, join host Kell ..read more
Galloping Toward Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is data transformation, and right now, most businesses have too much data coming at them and not enough of an understanding of what to do with it. Join Jon this week as he meets with Matt Baker, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Planning at Dell Technologies, to discuss best practices for starting or continuing the journey to becoming a data-fueled business. You'll learn why delivering real-time digital experiences requires a new approach to data management, why having a focused digital transformation strategy will help you stay ahead of the pace of in ..read more
Accelerating with Intrinsic Security
In a world where more and more people are working remotely, the concept of security needs to evolve. Gone are the days of simple, hardware-based security, and here are the days of intrinsic, system-based security. This week, join Jon as he meets again with Vish Nandlall to dive deep on the topic of security and why you, either as an individual or a corporation, need to continue to think about limiting the "blast radius" of any possible security breach. What you'll hear in this episode: How the move to working from home has accelerated the awareness of security vulnerabilities (01 ..read more
Embracing Edge Possibilities and Why They Matter
Just as each person has a unique fingerprint, each customer has a unique set of needs that determine how they can and should run their business, specifically at "their" Edge. Join guest host Kelly Lynch as she chats with Ty Schmitt and Dave Graham, two Edge-focused experts at Dell Technologies, about the evolution of Edge over time and why it's more important today than it was 10 years ago, even. From conversations around Dave's "personal health Edge" that helped him lose nearly 50 pounds this year to discussions with Ty "beyond the Edge," laughs and learning go hand-in-hand this week. What y ..read more
Rethinking Artificial Intelligence Beyond Neural Nets
Though it has been around in various forms for nearly 80 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a technology is ever-changing and continues to play a bigger and bigger role in our society and our lives. Join Jon this week as he chats with Brons Larson (who calls in from the back porch of his San Diego home), the Dell Technologies' strategy lead for the Office of the CTO. They discuss the latest "wave" in Artificial Intelligence, how it differs from former, data intensive AI-based models, and when (if ever) we can expect to see AI replicate human cognition. What you'll hear in ..read more
Building Certainty Into Your Data Pipeline
This week, Jon meets again with Vish Nandlall from Dell Technologies' Office of the CTO to dive deep on the topic of Data Management, discussing the myriad reasons why businesses should develop a clear data pipeline strategy, some of the typical roadblocks that can clog those pipelines, and how Dell Technologies is helping customers observe data management from a 360-degree view ..read more

Last week, the federal government warned Nigerians against consuming artificially ripened fruits. The warning came barely five months after an investigation carried out by a national daily on the health hazards associated with the consumption of artificially ripened fruits. The investigation was intended to achieve two purposes: a wake-up call on the relevant government agencies to stem the deadly practice and a warning to Nigerians to be wary of the killer commodities.
According to the findings, fruits such as banana, mango, plantain, pawpaw and oranges are dragged under a dangerous chemical known as calcium carbide to fast-track the ripening process, consequently exposing consumers to the high risk of developing life-threatening ailments such as cancer, kidney malfunction, liver cirrhosis and heart failure.
However, despite the alarm raised a few months back, the merchants of death, masquerading as fruit sellers, are still feeding their unsuspecting patrons with their deadly commodities which they are aware are harmful for human consumption.
Findings from different parts of the country are in unison regarding the harmful methods employed to achieve premature ripening in order to meet the high demands for the commodities, while the marketers smile to the bank at the expense of consumers.
Bananas and plantains are popular delicacies among many Nigerians. There is hardly any spot you turn to where the fruits are not available for sale. Other fruits like oranges, pawpaw and mangoes, though seasonal, also form parts of the daily consumption of Nigerians irrespective of their social status owing to their health benefits.
Health experts and nutritionists are quick to harp on the immense benefits of these commodities. They are veritable sources of multivitamins and minerals required to guarantee healthy living and even combat deadly diseases such as cancer. It is an irony that cancerous diseases are invited into the body and nurtured through consumption of these same fruits ripened by dangerous means. Those who consume artificially ripened fruits with the sole aim of achieving healthy living must be worried by the dilemma they have found themselves in.
Indeed, the Nigerian fruit lover is torn between two evils: eating fresh fruits that are carcinogenic and patronising the ones processed and packaged in packs and cans, laced with preservatives that are also carcinogenic.
Will Nigerians stop eating fruits because of the inherent hazards associated with the method of ripening by the marketers? This is not feasible. However, they need to be enlightened on regular basis about the danger of digging their graves with their own teeth through the consumption of artificially ripened fruits. Most consumers of the commodities cannot differentiate naturally ripened fruits from the ones forced to maturity through immersion in carbide.
Some signs of artificially ripened fruits like mangoes, pawpaw, plantain and bananas are uneven ripening colours, and unusually smooth peels in the case of bananas. Naturally ripened fruits also wear some brownish dark spots as their trademarks. These are some of the indicators consumers should be on the lookout for.
Going by the rampancy of the deadly practice by fruit marketers across the country, it is a miracle that Nigerian consumers are not dying in their thousands. However, the prevalence of terminal diseases targeting vital organs of the body are end results of the presence of the harmful chemical in their system ingested through dangerous fruits.
It is high time the government came down hard on these vendors of death wherever they display their deadly wares. Criminalisation of the harmful practice will also not be out of place. The relevant agency like the National Foods and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) should send its operatives to depots, markets and other outlets where these commodities are sold to assess the state of the fruits. Where they are found to be contaminated, they should receive the same treatment given to adulterated drugs by confiscating and destroying them, while the marketers should be heavily sanctioned.
An aggressive awareness campaign should be embarked upon by the NAFDAC and other public enlightenment organs of government at all levels in order to save Nigerians from the death merchants. We are of the view that Nigerians should live because of what they eat and not be killed by what they consider a necessity for healthy living.


What has been a perfect fit in the past might turn out to be a problem in the future. Customer requirements change; new technologies proliferate; Make becomes buy or vice versa. Appropriate organizational structures are instrumental for smooth production processes without waste.
Production Processes need to cope with demand variability and highly dynamic environments. Output should not vary. Processes themselves should create as little fluctuation and uncertainty as possible. The simpler and straighter they are designed, the better.


Track cycling is probably the most intense cycling discipline out there. It's filled with powerful, adrenaline-chasing riders who live for the thrill of racing in its purest form. 23-year old William Rimkratt-Milkowski is a 4-time Danish champion in the sprint discipline who is chasing so much more.
William competes in the individual sprint, a lonesome race against the clock with extreme amounts of watts. The sprint starts with a 200m flying start time trial to seed the riders for the knockout stages of three-lap races. The knockout stages pit two riders against each other. While the race is for 3 laps, only the final 200 meters are timed – the first rider to cross the line wins.
After winning his fourth national championship, William has set his sights on record chasing. During the Scandinavian championships this year, he set a time of 10.38 seconds – only three-hundredths of a second from beating the Danish record by Niels Fredborg from 1973 in Mexico City.
In track sprinting, you don't need the same mileage as roadies. Much of the training consists of heavy weightlifting and a few short but intense intervals.
As a track sprinter, William is applying a lot of torque to our Zpider during his hard sessions. How many watts can you produce for 10 seconds? Try and go above 1000w and you might get an idea of how hard this sport is.
William's next event on the track is the Gran Prix of Moscow in June, where he wants to beat the aforementioned record during the flying lap qualification round.
We are very proud to have him on board with us at TeamZWATT and we will be following his pursuits on the track throughout the year.

Marvel's Netflix shows could be revived, says boss Kevin Feige
Shows included 'Jessica Jones', 'The Punisher', 'Daredevil', 'Iron Fist' and 'Luke Cage'
By Damian Jones
Jessica Jones's Krysten Ritter and The Punisher's Jon Bernthal
Kevin Feige has said Netflix shows including Jessica Jones, The Punisher, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage could one day be revived.
All five shows were axed by the streaming service in 2019 ahead of the launch of Marvel's parent company Disney+ streaming service.
Fans of Daredevil recently called for Marvel to revive the show after the Netflix rights to the series expired in November 2020.
Feige has now said he would not rule out a return now that they have the rights to revive such characters, when asked by Deadline.

"Well, certainly you've seen what we announced at Comic-Con a year and half ago and on Disney Investor Day a few weeks ago, so that's our focus," the Marvel Studios boss said. "But I've been at Marvel long enough to never say never about anything.
Meanwhile Feige also recently confirmed that Deadpool 3 will be the first R-rated movie ever in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Speaking to Collider during a WandaVision press event, the Marvel Studios president said: "It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan [Reynolds is] overseeing a script right now.
"It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We've got a number of things we've already announced that we now have to make, but it's exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life."
Last year, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld blamed Marvel for the delay in starting work on the third movie in the series. Marvel became involved with Deadpool after the film's studio Fox merged with Disney.
