Who is Alexis Ohanian of Reddit Fame?
January 19, 2019 May 13, 2021 Brad Harrison
Alexis Ohanian is an internet businessman and is well known in the online world and outside as the founder of Reddit a unique social news website. He was an inborn entrepreneur and has co-founded a series of other sites like Initialized Capital, travel website Hipmunk social venture Breadpig and has been a partner at Y Combinator too. With such a huge internet experience it was quite obvious that he could take his newest website Reddit to such great heights such that he was often considered the Guru of Internet.
Alexis Ohanian graduated from University of Virginia in commerce and history and joined his friend Steve Huffman and developed an idea MyMobileMenu to Y Combinator. This was successful and soon after the duo went on to launch reddit.com for the very objective to make it the front page of the Internet.
Returning to Reddit and other Investments
In the year 2005, Reddit joined a set of startups but in the very next year the company was acquired by Conde Nast. The actual amount was not heard but it was rumored to run into several million dollars. Yet Alexis Ohanian continued to serve the company by remaining as one of the board of directors. But not to let go of his company he and Huffman again took the lead of the company in the year 2015. In 2018 he became more engaged with his investments and other entrepreneurship.
But Alexis Kerry Ohanian as he was known in official circles wasn't in any way a laggard when it came to investing in a series of websites and internet. In the year 2007, he launched Breadpig and started producing usually marketed products and its profits eventually went to charity. Even after having left Reddit in 2010 Ohanian worked in micro-finance business in Armenia. He also launched travel website Hipmunk during this period.
In 2010 Ohanian again launched another venture by name of Das Kapital Capitat that was mainly for start up investing and consultation services. During this time he was named 'Ambassador of the East' during the initial stage of Y Combinator and became its full time partner. During this time he also co-founded Initialized Capital too.
It was during his tenure at Initialized Capital that he made series of investments in start ups. This included Instacart, Zenefits, Opendoor and Cruise. In this particular field of internet operation he became the unrivalled leader in the overall breadth of connections that his company had over the rest of the network players. All his ventures were synonymous with quality and in this too he rivaled most other stalwarts of the day.
Open Internet and Marriage with Serena Williams
In the year Ohanian was in the forefront of open internet activities and was successful in overturning two bills that were against it. He was soon acclaimed as the top most activist whose words counted even among the political elitist as well as for championing causes of free internet or net neutrality. He was declared as Mayor of Internet by Forbes for this very cause.
Somewhere around the period 2015 Ohanian met the star woman's tennis player Serena Williams. This changed his life noticeably and made him even more famous among common people that had nothing to do with internet. Serena was on the top form and looked unbeatable.
As the story goes both of them met by chance at Cavalieri hotel in Rome near the pool place. When noticing Alexis Ohanian sitting right near to her and her friends she at first felt annoyed, but later on asked him whether he would like to join them. He accepted at once. Soon enough they were both found dating and in the year 2016 Serena found herself pregnant and they both decided to get married. It is said that he proposed to her on the very place they first met and that is at Rome near to the pool of the hotel.
Their romance although kept secret initially became full blown public news all over US and abroad where Serena had innumerous fans. They both carry on their own careers although they put out enough time to be together as Ohanian always travelled and Serena was fully focused on her play.
Currently, they live at Beverly Hills, California, along with their daughter, Olympia.
About Reddit
Alexis Ohanian obsession was Reddit and it was instrumental in what he is today. Through Reddit he became known all over by internet users. It was rating cum discussion website and had generous following. A person needs to be registered member to be able to post text, add links and images for the content. The format is a derivative of forums like tnaboard and other large user base forum sites.
The posts by members are organized according to subject and these are uploaded into user created boards. These boards are called 'subreddits'. These cover essentially any topic that one can think of. Everything is first user moderated along with being moderated by Reddit moderators.
Currently, Reddit stands as NO 5 among top most visited site in US and is still growing.

The election is over, time to move on
Emma Connors
Forget recounts and calls for the electoral board to be established. Donald Trump played by the electoral rules and won.
Published 1 Dec 2016 09:16 0 Comments

For many outside of the US, the country that is arguably the proudest of its democracy has a very odd way of electing its president. We can understand, just, why the founding fathers' obsession with the rights of individual states led to the Electoral College. Of course it seems strange that Hillary Clinton won more votes than Donald Trump, but didn't win the White House. But, as Georgetown University academic Jason Brennan wrote, we shouldn't confuse the machinery of democracy with democracy itself:
The Electoral College is an anti-democratic institution. From the perspective of the writers of the US Constitution, that's a feature, not a bug. The entire point of the Electoral College is to serve as a check on democratic voting. The founders didn't trust the people to choose the most powerful person in the country (and now the world).
There were 51 popular elections on 8 November, one for each of the 50 states and one for the District of Columbia, and while Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were on every ballot, the voters ticking, punching or clicking on those names were really voting for their state's slate of Republican, Democratic and Libertarian electors. This produces the 538 electors of the Electoral College, flesh and blood people who will cast their ballots for the president and vice president on 19 December. These are the ones that count. If, as expected, these electors follow tradition, their ballots will reflect the outcome of each state's popular vote. Each state's number of electors is equal to the number of Congressmen and Congresswomen it sends to Washington. The number in the House of Representatives varies from state to state according to population, the number of senators does not (each state has two), and herein lies the beauty of the system, according to supporters such as the conservative political commentator David Harsanyi, writing in the Denver Post:
....the Electoral College impels presidents and their political parties to consider all Americans in rhetoric and action. By allowing two senators for both Wyoming, with a population of less than 600,000, and California, with a population of more than 38 million, we create more national cohesion. We protect large swaths of the nation from being bullied. We incentivize Washington, D.C. — both the president and the Senate — to craft policy that meets the needs of Colorado as well as New York.
Of course, when the winner of the popular vote does not win the Electoral College, as has happened only five times - in 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000 and now 2016 - calls to change the system come thick and fast.
The latest count suggests Hillary Clinton has a popular vote lead of more than two million. This state-by-state breakdown (warning, you need a Google account to access) is truly fascinating and it's not surprising the results have generated a storm of what-ifs. This week in the Washington Post, for example, Christopher Ingraham moved one state border here, another there to shift four counties into neighbouring states and bump Hillary Clinton over the line in Wisconsin and Florida, thus delivering the 270 electoral college votes she needed for victory. Ingraham concludes:
Exact same votes, slightly different borders, radically different outcome: the capriciousness of the electoral college laid bare.
But if history is any guide, those pushing for change are on a hiding to nothing. In the last 200 years there have been 700 proposals introduced into Congress to change or axe the Electoral College. This reflects widespread and durable dislike for the system. As the Electoral College itself notes:
The American Bar Association has criticized the Electoral College as 'archaic' and 'ambiguous' and its polling showed 69 percent of lawyers favored abolishing it in 1987. But surveys of political scientists have supported continuation of the Electoral College. Public opinion polls have shown Americans favored abolishing it by majorities of 58 percent in 1967; 81 percent in 1968; and 75 percent in 1981.
But still it stands. The degree of difficulty to enact change is considerable as it would require a constitutional amendment. This generally needs to be first agreed to by two-thirds majority in the both houses of Congress and then ratified by three quarters of the states. So far, no proposal has got past Congress. And even if it did, it's hard to see that many states agreeing to changes, particularly the smaller ones that are generally thought to be favoured by the system as is. Notwithstanding the irony that a system designed to prevent a populist demagogue from becoming president has been trumped by Trump, the results of those 51 elections on 8 November are entirely valid. And come 19 December, the electors, despite pleas to do otherwise, will reflect that when they cast those ballots that will truly deliver Donald Trump the White House.

Q: A strange issue with NSMutableArray vs NSMutableDictionary I have an XML-parser which parses all the information from XML-file (attached as a resource of project) to a collection. First time I did it via NSMutableArray which I converted then to an NSMutableDictionary and everything works fine.
After that I realized that its not necessary to have a NSMutableArray; I just can parse XML directly to NSMutableDictionary. And I did it (its just a matter of 1 property and the way I add an object to a collection) but the problem is I got leaks now. Very strange leaks. It could happen and could not. Every time it happens it says that its something about hashing and key/value issue.
Parts of code:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
        self.currentElement = elementName;
        // category
        if(self.targetBranch==XML_KEY_CATEGORY && [elementName isEqualToString:XML_KEY_CATEGORY]) {
            self.categoryItem = [[CategoryItem alloc] initWithId:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"id"] andParentId:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"parentId"]];
            //NSLog(@"didStartElement with id %@",self.categoryItem.categoryId);
        }
    ...
        }

        - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{
        ...
            // categories
            if (self.targetBranch==XML_KEY_CATEGORY && [self.currentElement isEqualToString:XML_KEY_CATEGORY]) {
                //NSLog(@"adding category to array");
                if (self.categoryItem.categoryName)
                    self.categoryItem.categoryName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",self.categoryItem.categoryName,string]; //[string copy];
                else
                    self.categoryItem.categoryName = string; //[string copy];
        ...
        }

        - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
            //NSLog(@"ended element: %@", elementName);

            // category
            if (self.targetBranch==XML_KEY_CATEGORY && [elementName isEqualToString:XML_KEY_CATEGORY]) {
                //NSLog(@"adding category to array");
                //[xmlParsedInfo addObject:self.categoryItem];
                //      if (self.categoryItem.categoryId && self.categoryItem.categoryId && self.categoryItem.categoryId!=NULL
        //      && ![xmlParsedData objectForKey:self.categoryItem.categoryId]){
        //          //NSLog(@"adding dictionary element %@",self.categoryItem.categoryId);
        //          [xmlParsedData setObject:self.categoryItem forKey:self.categoryItem.categoryId];
                    [xmlParsedInfo addObject:self.categoryItem];

                }
        ...
        }

        -(NSDictionary*) getCategoriesForParentId:(NSString*)parentId_ fromUrl:(NSString *)strUrl{
            NSLog(@"getCategoriesForParentId: %@",parentId_);
            targetBranch = XML_KEY_CATEGORY;
            parentId = parentId_;
            xmlParsedInfo = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        //  xmlParsedData = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
            [self parseXMLFileAtURL:strUrl];
            NSLog(@"category for parent id count is %i",xmlParsedInfo.count);
            //return xmlParsedData;
            NSDictionary *result = [self convertCategoryItemArrayToDictionary:xmlParsedInfo];
            [xmlParsedInfo release];
            return result; //[self convertCategoryItemArrayToDictionary:xmlParsedInfo];
        }

        - (NSDictionary *) convertCategoryItemArrayToDictionary:(NSMutableArray *)array
        {
            NSMutableDictionary *mutableDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
            for (CategoryItem *catItem in array) {
                [mutableDictionary setObject:catItem forKey:catItem.categoryId];
            }
            return (NSDictionary *)[mutableDictionary autorelease];
        }

Like I said XML-parser works fine and there are no issues yet. But you can see commented section which are dictionary related. At current state it works good but if comment array related code and UNcomment dictionary related - it will leak. Most of time I'm getting 2 leaks like:
#   Category    Event Type  Timestamp   RefCt   Address Size    Responsible Library Responsible Caller
0   CFBasicHash (key-store) Malloc  1928615936  1   0x9019600   512 MyApp   -[XMLParser parser:didEndElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:]
#   Category    Event Type  Timestamp   RefCt   Address Size    Responsible Library Responsible Caller
0   CFBasicHash (value-store)   Malloc  1928608768  1   0x900c600   512 MyApp   -[XMLParser parser:didEndElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:]

and those leaks leads directly to the following line of code:
        [xmlParsedData setObject:self.categoryItem forKey:self.categoryItem.categoryId];

So what is the problem with dictionary here? As I can see its hash/key related and its NSMutableDictionary internal issue.
I'm trying the code with emulator only. So I can't say if the issue still persists with real device. Maybe its just emulator related bug (like keyboard leak).
The XML I'm parsing is static and it just a file in a project. There are 71 categories in this XML file. So every run app does the same with the same data. That is why Im saying that the issue is strange. At the first run with leaks monitor there are no any leaks. At the second try it could be 1 or 2. All the next runs it shows constantly 2 (shown above) leaks (+1 leading to the dictionary itself but this is due to its key or value leaks, its just an end of chain).
CategoryItem.h
@interface CategoryItem : NSObject {
    NSString * categoryName;
    NSString * categoryId;
    NSString * parentId;
}
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString * categoryName;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString * categoryId;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString * parentId;

- (id)init;
- (id)initWithId:(NSString *)id_ andParentId:(NSString *)parentId_;
- (id)initWithName:(NSString *)name_ andId:(NSString *)id_ andParentId:(NSString *)parentId_;
- (BOOL)isEqualToItem:(CategoryItem *)anItem;
- (NSUInteger)hash;

@end

CategoryItem.m

#import "CategoryItem.h"

@implementation CategoryItem

@synthesize categoryName;
@synthesize categoryId;
@synthesize parentId;

-(id)init{
    self = [super init];
    return self;
}

-(id)initWithName:(NSString *)name_ andId:(NSString *)id_ andParentId:(NSString *)parentId_{
    self = [super init];
    if(self){
        self.categoryName = name_;
        self.categoryId = id_;
        self.parentId = parentId_;
    }
    return self;
}

-(id)initWithId:(NSString *)id_ andParentId:(NSString *)parentId_{
    self = [super init];
    if(self){
        self.categoryId = id_;
        self.parentId = parentId_;
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [categoryName release];
    [categoryId release];
    [parentId release];
    [super dealloc];
}

- (BOOL)isEqual:(id)other {
    if (other == self)
        return YES;
    if (!other || ![other isKindOfClass:[self class]])
        return NO;
    return [self isEqualToItem:other];
}

- (BOOL)isEqualToItem:(CategoryItem *)anItem {
    if (self == anItem)
        return YES;
    if (![(id) self.categoryName isEqual:anItem.categoryName])
        return NO;
    if (![(id) self.categoryId   isEqual:anItem.categoryId])
        return NO;
    if (![(id) self.parentId     isEqual:anItem.parentId])
        return NO;
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)hash {
    NSString *string4Hash = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@",self.categoryName,self.categoryId,self.parentId];
    NSUInteger hash = [string4Hash hash];
    return hash;
}

@end

Added:
The solution I found is (stupid as for me) in my  -(NSDictionary*) getCategoriesForParentId:
return this:
    NSDictionary *result;

    result = (NSDictionary *)[xmlParsedData copy];
    [xmlParsedData release];

    return result;

!OR!
    return [(NSDictionary *)xmlParsedData autorelease];

}

so the point is to copy NSDictionaryMutable... I just can't figure out why it does help?! Not retain but copy! Method which calls getCategoriesForParentId() expects NSDictionary (not Mutable one). It creates XMLParser via alloc+init and after getting the dictionary it releases created XMLParser which has dealloc with
- (void)dealloc {
    [currentElement release];
    [targetBranch   release];

    xmlParsedInfo = nil;
    xmlParsedData = nil;
...

I also tried to return something like (NSDictionary *)[xmlParsedData retain] or (NSDictionary *)xmlParsedData without additional NSDictionary *result - but leaks was there.
Looks like the problem is I'm not using xmlParsedData as a property+@synthesize. So now I made it a property (retain) and in dealloc its now [xmlParsedData release] and I return [xmlParsedData retain] from getCategoriesForParentId. It still leaks.

A: Your code seems not to use ARC but please specify it in the question.
You will leak the memory every time you enter into the if branch of your didStartElement and assign a new element to self.categoryItem. You are allocating a new object, but when you assign it to the property it will issue one more retain on it. The next time when you assign the next object, the property will issue one release but the reference counter will be still one more then necessary since your alloc.
To make it work well, issue an autorelease at the creation time or a release after you assigned it to the property:
self.categoryItem = [[[CategoryItem alloc]
         initWithId:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"id"]
        andParentId:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"parentId"]] autorelease];

A: I don't know if this is the problem, but... can you post the categoryItem class? Or... have you implemented the hash method on it?

Locals Did It
Posted by Mike | 13 Jun 2016
The mass killing in Orlando this weekend fits a grim pattern: Every lethal terrorist attack in the United States in the past decade and a half has been carried out by American citizens or legal permanent residents, operating either as lone wolves or in pairs, who have no formal connections or training from terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda or ISIS.
Because 9/11 was carried out by 19 Arab foreign-born terrorists, many Americans may think that terrorist attacks in the United States are carried out by foreigners, rather than by U.S. citizens.
But Omar Mateen, who on Sunday carried out the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11, is an American citizen who was born in New York to parents who immigrated to the United States from Afghanistan.

This is How the Pros Do It
Posted by Mike | 7 Apr 2016
Remember that whole thing back in February where the FBI was demanding Apple unlock unlock the iPhone 5C of San Bernardino terrorism suspect Syed Rizwan Farook? And Apple told the FBI in so many words to go fuck itself? And then the FBI pussied out and said, "Oh, nevermind, we figured it out ourselves. Fuck YOU."
Well, here is what the FBI did:
FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that the government had purchased "a tool" from a private party in order to unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.
"Litigation between the government and Apple over the San Bernardino phone has ended, because the government has purchased, from a private party, a way to get into that phone, 5C, running iOS 9," Comey said.
Hold up. Does this special, magic software work on any iPhone?
The FBI director also said the purchased tool worked only on a "narrow slice of phones" that does not include the newest Apple models, or the 5S.
I'm just picturing the knuckleheads at the FBI googling "iphone jailbreak software 5c", clicking on the first search result, and buying a software package for $29.95.
Is this how it went down in reality? Unlikely, but it's fun to imagine.

White Terrorism
This is the privilege of whiteness: While a terrorist may be white, his violence is never based in his whiteness. A white terrorist has unique, complicated motives that we will never comprehend. He can be a disturbed loner or a monster. He is either mentally ill or pure evil. The white terrorist exists solely as a dyad of extremes: Either he is humanized to the point of sympathy or he is so monstrous that he almost becomes mythological. Either way, he is never indicative of anything larger about whiteness, nor is he ever a garden-variety racist. He represents nothing but himself. A white terrorist is anything that frames him as an anomaly and separates him from the long, storied history of white terrorism.
I'm always struck by this hesitance not only to name white terrorism but to name whiteness itself during acts of racial violence. In a recent New York Times article on the history of lynching, the victims are repeatedly described as black. Not once, however, are the violent actors described as they are: white. Instead, the white lynch mobs are simply described as "a group of men" or "a mob." In an article about racial violence, this erasure of whiteness is absurd. The race of the victims is relevant, but somehow the race of the killers is incidental. If we're willing to admit that race is a reason blacks were lynched, why are we unwilling to admit that race is a reason whites lynched them?
In his remarks following the Charleston shooting, President Obama mentioned whiteness only once — in a quotation from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. intended to encourage interracial harmony. Obama vaguely acknowledged that "this is not the first time that black churches have been attacked" but declined to state who has attacked these churches. His passive language echoes this strange vagueness, a reluctance to even name white terrorism, as if black churches have been attacked by some disembodied force, not real people motivated by a racist ideology whose roots stretch past the founding of this country.

If you're in the midst of booking a flight, you'll have to double check the items you're packing, because if you have skills like Macgyver, you probably won't be allowed to fly as airlines are upping security measures in react to the recent terror plot that was foiled.
From SFGate.com:
First aviation security officials required tickets and identification to get to the airline gates. Then passengers had to turn on their laptops and take off their shoes. On Wednesday, anything liquid — from eyedrops to Red Bull to lip glos — became verboten.
Some countries have gone further and on Thursday banned iPods, cell phones, computers and even battery-powered watches — anything that could produce a spark and detonate a bomb aboard a plane.
I'm taking this a step further because I'm serious about freedom, I'm serious about stopping terrorism and I want to protect others from myself and that is why I'm removing my brain before I board planes.
Why am I removing my brain? Well ya see, my brain is full of FLUIDS and along with fluids, my brain has millions of neurons that carry ELECTRICITY. See, if the FLUIDS and ELECTRICITY inside my brain get on a plane, it could spell trouble for everyone on board. I could detonate a bomb with the eletricity in my head. First I would suck out the water in my brain and run that electric current through it to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen.
I don't need to show you where this is heading.
Stay vigilant my keen readers. Stay vigilant.

GSK's Tykerb falls short in drive to grab more of cancer market
With the handwriting on the wall apparently reading "no go," GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) has pulled its application for an expanded use of its cancer drug Tykerb for breast cancer patients less two weeks before the FDA was set to issue its recommendation. It was a disappointing move for a company that is working to broaden its cancer drug portfolio.
GSK was hoping for an expanded use, and additional sales, by having Tykerb paired up with Roche's ($RHHBY) Herceptin for women with advanced breast cancer, Reuters reports. The company says it will wait to see what further clinical studies of the targeted cancer drug indicate.
"Our discussions with FDA highlighted questions that could not be addressed with the data currently available," Rafael Amado, GSK's head of oncology R&D, tells Reuters.
This is one in a number of rebuffs for the drug. The U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) on June 27 turned down Tyverb, as it is marketed in Europe, and Herceptin for inclusion in the U.K.'s National Health System. The regulator said there was no indication they would work better than existing drugs as a first-line treatment. And because they are not cheaper, there is nothing to recommend them. Herceptin has already been approved by NICE for treatment in later stages. As for GSK and Tyverb, this was perhaps the third time it has failed to get approval; NICE just doesn't like the price.
In September, GSK halted the dosing of women with Tykerb alone in a clinical study, which was one arm of its trial testing the drug against and in combination with Herceptin. It said preliminary data showed subjects on this solo treatment weren't likely to do as well as those taking Herceptin only.
GSK has been hoping the use would give it more reach in the cancer drug market, which has been estimated at $47.7 billion and growing. The market is dominated by Roche. In April, GSK did get FDA approval for its cancer treatment Votrient for soft-tissue sarcomas, the first new treatment in decades for that condition.

100 Years of Horror (1996- )
I only watched a third of these before giving up, so I will do a blanket comment.
This is many hours of stuff stretched out possibly three times as long as it deserved. Interviews are reused in multiple weeks. There is lots of footage from the films they are talking about, but almost exclusively from trailers. The host is a nitwit who blathers on, partly in character. The people interviewed have almost nothing to say.
But it is such a rich topic with so many, many opportunities for reward that I kept hoping.
Their definition of horror excludes Giallo. There's no mention of sleaze horror. Omitting these is like not mentioning whisky in a history of the US. There's an episode on girl monsters and another on scream queen victims, but no mention of sex. No discussion of redheads.
The omissions are not as crazy as the way things are grouped. There's an episode about freaks. Now there are enough of those to fill a couple episodes. But they are crammed in with the maimed and scarred. Does anyone on the planet believe these work the same way?
I found only one mildly interesting thing: the episode on sorcerers has some pretty good background on Crowley and the actor who played Caligari's ghoul (who in turn influenced Christopher Lee). And then talks about Svengali. This seems to have been written by someone who knew the history and knew how the device is used: evil hypnotises.
But other than that (episode 19), you really should look at any horror film closely. You'll get more than you'll get here.
Folding: only the trivial fold of a movie excepting movies.

I first tried the "paperbag" trend last year when I bought some faux leather shorts from Zara. They're my go-to shorts when I want to dress up a little bit because they're uber flattering and stylish, without hardly trying. I've seen this trend really blossom in 2019 and I am here for it.
This outfit essentially built itself, meaning, I feel like the only fitting top to wear with paperbag bottoms is a bodysuit. It offsets the "bagginess" of the pants, for lack of a better term. I found this black crew neck bodysuit at Forever 21 for less than $10! Isn't that a steal? It's not amazing quality but I love a good bodysuit.
These pants are made of cotton and linen, making them uber breathable and perfect for spring. I paired them with my go-to strappy heels from Target. I saw that they brought out new versions of this shoe and I can't wait to pick them up!
I just realized that in total, this outfit costs less than $70! In my opinion, it looks much pricer, in a good way of course!
What do you think of the paperbag trend?

Associate Professor Fadel Adib Granted Tenure
Jimmy Day
by Alexandra Kahn
Fadel Adib
Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences; Doherty Chair in Ocean Utilization
Congratulations to Media Arts and Sciences Associate Professor Fadel Adib, who has been granted tenure. The youngest faculty member within the history of the School of Architecture and Planning to receive tenure, Professor Adib heads the Signal Kinetics research group at the Media Lab, and holds a joint appointment in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
His research is focused on the invention of new wireless technologies to interconnect, sense, and perceive the physical world in ways that have not been possible before. His work shows the feasibility of powerful new sensing capabilities, opening new opportunities in key areas such as climate, ocean conservation, health, logistics, and commerce.
"We are absolutely delighted that Fadel Adib is now a tenured member of our faculty," notes Tod Machover, Muriel R. Cooper Professor of Music and Media, and Academic Head of the Program in Media Arts and Sciences. "Not only is his research in large-scale, systemically complex wireless sensing of the highest technical quality, it also demonstrates—time and again—a visionary approach to radical uses for existing technologies such as RF sensing, as well as brand new techniques and powerful applications for long-term data collection and analysis (due to his batteryless devices) on multiple scales, from outer space to inside the body. In addition, Fadel has applied his innovative thinking to the cultivation of creative research communities, and has become a leader at the Media Lab and in the Media Arts and Sciences program in supporting new models for faculty/student interaction and for general student support. We look forward to following and supporting Fadel's brilliant research and cultural contributions for many years to come."
Following the completion of his master's and PhD degrees at MIT in 2016, Professor Adib accepted a faculty appointment at the MIT Media Lab where he founded the Lab's Signal Kinetics research group. Two years later, he accepted a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In the ensuing years, he and his research team have made significant contributions to ocean research in the form of underwater backscatter networking; batteryless underwater communications nodes; and finding viable solutions to the challenges of underwater-to-air communications. Professor Adib has also made important contributions in novel contactless sensing with applications that include health monitoring, food safety sensing, and robotics. In addition, his work has expanded batteryless connectivity deep into the human body, enabling novel health applications such as batteryless micro-implants.
"It's truly an honor to congratulate and welcome Fadel as a tenured member of the Media Lab's faculty," notes Dava Newman, Director of the MIT Media Lab and Apollo Professor of Astronautics at MIT. "His energy, enthusiasm, and creativity are all assets to our community. Fadel's work exemplifies one of the things that makes the Media Lab so special—we don't create technology in a vacuum, we innovate with an eye to the ways it can help people, society, our vital oceans, and the planet. Fadel's research wonderfully illustrates how the Media Lab's transdisciplinary approach is helping to solve hard problems across domains and scales."
Professor Adib received his undergraduate degree from the American University of Beirut (2011) in his birth country of Lebanon. He earned his master's (2013) and PhD (2016) at MIT, winning the best master's and best PhD thesis awards in computer science at MIT. In addition to holding the Doherty Chair in Ocean Utilization at MIT, he has also received prestigious early-career faculty honors, including the CAREER Award (2019) from the US National Science Foundation; the Young Investigator Award (2019) and the Early Career Grant (2020) from the Office of Naval Research; the Sloan Research Fellowship (2021); the Google Faculty Research Award (2017); the Technology Review 35 under 35 award (2014); and most recently, the ACM SIGMOBILE Rockstar Award (2022).

Before starting any other fitness program, mamalates is the essential first step to reclaiming your core postpartum. Some elements of the mamalates method are safe and beneficial to begin just days after birth, while still recovering in bed. The full program is perfect for women six weeks postpartum, or whenever your healthcare provider clears you to return to your exercise routine. Mamalates is the place to start. And even if it's been months or years since giving birth, postural issues and core weakness can persist. Mamalates can help.
Modify your technique now that you are in a postpartum body.
Align. Stack your skeleton so your muscles can work more effectively.
Connect to your core in a deeper way, and reclaim your body after pregnancy.
Stabilize. Pregnancy required flexibility and opening. After a baby, it's time to contain, stabilize, and re-teach your core muscles to support your internal organs.
Mamalates is designed to be baby-friendly, but mother-centered.
Pre-mobile babies are welcome at group classes and private sessions. Whether they nap, play, or nurse, mamalates class instructors adjust and remain flexible to make sure babies AND mamas both get what they need during class.
Connect with your core muscles and keep your baby close by.
Prepare to return to your regular workout routine, work, or your next phase of mothering with a stable foundation, modifications, strength, and a new body awareness that will serve you for years to come.
Group Mamalates class is offered as a six-week progressive series at Live Well Studio. We meet Fridays at 9:30am-10:30am. Class size is limited to six women. You can expect personalized attention from the instructor, and a class customized to meet the needs of the participants. Babies who are not yet crawling/walking are invited to attend class with you. The class is geared to women in their postpartum year, six weeks postpartum or beyond.

Salt Lake City Police say testing backlogged rape kits helped identify dozens of suspects
Posted 6:41 am, May 7, 2019, by Rebecca Green and Scott McKane, Updated at 04:28PM, May 7, 2019
SALT LAKE CITY -- Salt Lake City Police have tested hundreds of backlogged rape kits, and one out of every four cases from the kits is now under investigation.
Chief Mike Brown will report to the Salt Lake City Council Tuesday afternoon regarding the results.
A press release indicates the department had custody of 768 rape kits in a 10-year period. Those were submitted and processed, resulting in 105 offender DNA matches from the National Crime Combined DNA database.
Police state 42 of those suspects had not previously been identified by law enforcement.
"We'd like to bring closure to these cases," said Det. Greg Wilking of the Salt Lake City Police Department. "We like to solve these cases. We like to bring justice to those individuals who have been violated."
The testing of backlogged kits is the result of an ongoing effort after an ordnance passed in 2014, which specified that all rape kits in Salt Lake City had to be tested for DNA at a level eligible for the national database.
The council has also since endorsed a policy that calls for yearly reports on the kits.
"Bringing justice to these cases, and some peace of mind to the survivors and the community, was our primary goal in this effort," said Council Chair Charlie Luke. "We are pleased Salt Lake City police have helped lead the way nationwide in improving the way these difficult cases are handled."
The report before the council is planned for 2 p.m. Tuesday. Fox 13 News will update this story as more details emerge.

Q: Prove that $2^{10}+5^{12}$ is composite
Prove that $2^{10}+5^{12}$ is composite

I need to solve this using only high school mathematics.
Any ideas?

A: $$2^{10} + 5^{12} = (5^3)^4 + 4(2^2)^4 = 125^4 + 4\cdot4^4$$
And then the result follows from Sophie Germain's identity, ie, $$a^4 + 4b^4 = (a^2 + 2ab + 2b^2)(a^2 - 2ab + 2b^2)$$
Yielding, $$2^{10} + 5^{12} = (5^6 + 10^3 + 2^5)(5^6 - 10^3 + 2^5) = 16657\cdot 14657$$

A: Hint:
Use the Sophie Germain identity:
$$x^4+4y^4=(x^2+2xy+2y^2)(x^2-2xy+2y^2)=((x+y)^2+y^2)((x-y)^2+y^2)$$
$$5^{12}+2^{10}=(5^3)^{4}+4\cdot (2^2)^4$$

A: Use the binomial formulas. From $$(2^{5}+5^{6})^2=2^{10}+2\cdot 2^5\cdot 5^6+5^{12} $$
we conclude
$$ 2^{10}+5^{12}=(2^{5}+5^{6})^2-(10^3)^2= (2^{5}+5^{6}+10^3)(2^{5}+5^{6}-10^3)$$

A: $2^{10}+5^{12}=(2^5)^2+(5^6)^2$ $=(2^5+5^6)^2 - 2\cdot2^5\cdot5^6$ $=(2^5+5^6)^2 - (2\cdot5)^6$ $=(2^5+5^6)^2 - (10^3)^2$ $=(2^5+5^6 - 10^3)(2^5+5^6 + 10^3)$ $=(15657 - 1000)(15657 + 1000)$ $=14657\times 16657$.

Wow! You guys sound like home improvement pros! I agree that you 'should sweat the small stuff'.
The people who painted our house before didn't believe in tape or taking fixtures off the wall before painting. Horrid.
You guys are killing me. This is the first podcast that I feel is an exactly repeat of my Sunday here on the opposite coast from you.
Our house was staged really, ever so cleverly. Now all the failed dry wall tape, leaky pipes in the roof, shoddy prepped painted surfaces are driving me batty after living here for 2 years. The work we did to ready our other house for market had us worn too (after a year of working on it), but now that orange faux painted wall, made to mimic terracotta, in our entry has given me the stink eye one too many times. We chose buckets and buckets of Ben Moore's Milkyway, and now I am wondering if it would be a good trim color as well.
Enjoyed hearing the home improvement tips–definitely worth taking the extra time to do it right the first time. Good luck making your big decision!
Catching up on missed podcasts….thanks for sharing all you tips and thoughts on home improvement projects. Painting the interior of our home is on our to do list. I will keep in mind your "must do" points.
Also….will be waiting to hear what your big and exciting news is all about!

Should blood donors be paid? Canadians, health professionals divided on key public health issue
Canadians have one day left to let the government know how they feel about allowing a private company to pay citizens in exchange for their blood plasma
Ryan Remiorz/Canadian Press files
Postmedia News
On Friday Health Canada will wrap up its month-long public consultation process that, so far, has collected around 250 submissions commenting on an application from Canadian Plasma Resources to collect plasma for pay in Toronto and Hamilton, Ont. The plasma that would be collected for pay would be used for to manufacture drugs to treat immune disorders and hemophilia.
Dr. Robert Cushman, director general of the biologies and genetic therapies branch at Health Canada, said there was some "confusion" in the comments that the government is going to move away from blood donations to a system that will be paid.
Blood for transfusions, he said, will still remain completely voluntary.
Other comments express a worry that volunteer blood donors will stop giving blood for life-saving transfusions and instead sell their plasma for drug manufacturing, Cushman said.
There seems to be a concern that there could be an erosion of the voluntary blood donation process
"I think there's a concern — we'll have to look at this more in depth — but there seems to be a concern that there could be an erosion of the voluntary blood donation process." But Cushman said there is no reason to be worried that volunteers will start to disappear if paid plasma clinics are allowed in Canada.
"It really requires a much higher ongoing commitment to donate plasma for drugs than it does to donate plasma for transfusion," he said. Paid plasma donors have to undergo medical tests and their plasma is held for testing, he said, adding that the United States has been operating pay-for-plasma clinics, and their volunteer base has not suffered.
Dr. Graham Sher, CEO of Canadian Blood Services, said he supports the proposal to provide compensation for plasma donors. He said Canadian Blood Services separate red blood cells from plasma and send the plasma to the United States to make drugs. But the voluntary system doesn't cover Canada's needs for plasma-based drugs, said Sher.
"We today send about 260,000 litres of plasma for fractionation and we need, if we were to be self-sufficient in this country, we would need about 800,000 or 900,000 litres."
Dr. Michele Brill-Edwards, a physician and board member of the Canadian Health Coalition, said she is concerned about the safety of plasma that has been collected from paid donors. She wrote a letter that she will submit to Health Canada that points to recommendations from the Krever inquiry of 1997. It recommended that blood plasma should not be paid for with the exception of "rare circumstances."
Brill-Edwards said she is worried that paid plasma donations will undermine the screening process that ensures only healthy plasma is harvested.
"If people are motivated just to get the money then they will not be honest and as a result we will get people who are not as healthy as possible donating," said Brill-Edwards.
But Sher said that plasma is put through stringent procedures to ensure that it is safe, procedures that were not available 30 years ago.
The blood industry including the plasma industry in other countries is a highly, highly lucrative industry
David Page, the national executive director of the Canadian Hemophilia Society said he has no concerns about the safety of plasma. He said that without paid plasma donations, drug shortages would occur.
"About 70-75 per cent of the plasma for these products comes from paid donors mainly in the U.S.," he said. "If the whole world were to stop paying for plasma, thousands would die."
He said Canada could continue to rely on other countries, but it comes with risks if there was ever a problem in the plasma-supplying countries.
"Being over-reliant on one source, one country, which is the U.S., is a danger."
Still, Brill-Edwards said that doesn't mean Canadians should follow the pack.
"The elephant in the room here is something that the Canadian public generally do not understand, that the blood industry including the plasma industry in other countries is a highly, highly lucrative industry," she said. "There is a lot of motivation for companies to set up in Canada."
The Canadian Nurses Association, Canadian Doctors for Medicare and the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions have all sent letters to the Health Minister raising concern about changes to blood plasma donations.
Canadian Blood Services issued a press release on March 13 stating it is not CBS's role to decide whether paid plasma donations should exist in Canada, but that, "A prohibition on paying donors for plasma would deny patients access to these products, both here in Canada and around the globe."
The Canadian Hemophilia Society submitted its policy on paid plasma donations to Health Canada, but takes no position on Canadian Plasma Resources' submission.
The hemophilia society's policy states that "The collection of source plasma from paid donors in a properly regulated environment is not a patient safety issue," and that the "highest regulatory standards" should be applied to paid plasma collection.

Movie Review: The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Plot:When a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before.
I am quite the big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. I reviewed the entire series a while ago, and naturally the mere mention of the return of Dominic Toretto and his family was enough to get me excited. These movies have become progressively bigger and more extreme as the series developed, and the Fate of The Furious makes no exception.
To be honest, this is the first film that I felt was overly ridiculous. It has always been very ridiculous with this franchise, but this one went very extra. The "banter" between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham made my toes curl with embarrassment. Seriously – the testosterone these two emit in each other's presence was nothing short of hilarious. Dwayne Johnson had some pretty funny lines as a school soccer coach, and his desperation in having his girls win the game to avoid a Tay-Tay concert was quite funny and understandable. Fast 8 tries to market Jason Statham now as one of the team, as a Shaw brother it is quite confusing as he was a main villain about fifteen seconds ago.
Dominic Toretto abandoning his family seems crazy, and that is exactly what he does. Villian Cypher (Charlize Theron) shows Dom something on a screen and it is enough to make him drop his wife Lettie (Michelle Rodriguez) and his team. What could make him do this? What does Cypher want? That's never too clear, because I don't think the plot is the primary point of this film, and we are left in the dark more than once.
I won't say why Dom did what he did, but there WAS a BIG reason. Naturally Brian (Paul Walker) must be mentioned loudly at least once, and that he can't come help because they decided he needs to be away. I don't really agree with the decision on that, because Brian O'Connor in the Law of the Furious would never drop Dominic Toretto – however sad Paul Walker's death may be, I think the character would have died too instead of abandoning his family.
Charlize Theron's Cypher has a very blurry reason for the things she does. The chemistry between her and Vin Diesel is less than zero, and that kiss they share is cold and plain weird (despite Diesel's strange comments about it). There is a lot of explosions and more bad dialogue, and when Diesel, Johnson and Statham appear together onscreen the manly manliness is almost too much to witness. The rest of the crew – Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Megan (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Ludacris (Tej) get laughably terrible lines. Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) is still cool AF, and he's joined by tough guy Scott Eastwood as a new recruit. The awesome Kristofer Hiviju is Cypher's henchman, and I still love Tormund even though he's a baddy in here.
The last few scenes of the film is naturally very dramatic and highly unlikely, and the end is mushy but manly-still. This formulaic fan festival of epic proportions is outrageous, crazy and very similar to the last couple of Fast films. I found it slightly less engaging with a little worse dialogue, but I'm not even fooling myself – if there is a Fast 9, I will still watch it.

Game of Thrones Season 7: A recap of the so far
Me, and the majority of the world seemingly, have been following the latest Game of Thrones season. Sure there are people who still feel the need to say that "this isn't their show" or "I've never watched Game of Thrones in my life", and they are all really annoying, but for the most part people are at least really interested in what is happening in Westeros. It is probably the only show I make the effort to watch as it comes out, because people love talking about this show that you are bound to know every single detail if you don't watch it the moment it is released.
As usual, I felt that the show started slow. It is on par with the layout of the previous seasons – the snail paced start of the first few episodes and the eruption of war and chaos everywhere a few episodes in. The first episode was a catch up of what had happened and where every character had ended up, and it felt slow but it was also a necessary aspect.
I really do enjoy Euron Greyjoy. I'm mentioning him first of the characters because he's my favorite new addition to this season. Sure, he's an absolutely horrendous character, but actor Pilou Asbaek is having the time of his life portraying this mad, fearless pirate. He provided a fierce battle on the water, and the scene where he rides into King's landing after sinking Daenerys' fleet amused me – he is clearly having the time of his life. The death of the Sandsnakes were desperately disappointing, with their rumored excellent fighting skills just that – a rumor.
Cersei Lannister is still the Queen of Chaos and creating havoc where she goes. Lena Headey has done a fantastic job with this role and she continues to shine. This is a petty need, but I really just wish she can get other hair now in the show – that yellow short style hurts my soul. I'm now where she told Jaime she's pregnant and threatened him in the same breath. She's a crazy woman and although I'm not sure if she is going to stick to the plan to tell the world that Jaime is indeed the father of her child, she certainly knew the impact it would have telling him that.
Nikolaj Waldau-Coster still plays my favorite incestuous guy in Westeros. He's clearly conflicted and a brave, honorable man – there was something insanely courageous and telling in the way he decided to charge Drogon. I hope this show takes him more places and he doesn't just remain Cersei's puppet. Although gross and illegal, he truly loves her, and while I'm sure she loves him, I often feel that she looks at him like a dispensable pawn. Jaime has levels that are untapped and if one of my ten million theories about how this show can end ever pans out, he's probably going to be the Queen-slayer as well.
The other Queen, Daenerys of the million names, is irritating me on a level that I can't put in to words. She has evolved over the season as any character has, but that is not always a good thing. She's pompous, power hungry and a fool most of the time, and is steering towards the direction of her father at this stage. I was sorry when she burned Dickon Tarly and his father for refusing to BEND THE FUCKING KNEE – that phrase is irritating me so much – it showed that they were obviously honorable men (though Tarly senior was definitely a mean old thing), and on the seriously low looky level the show currently has I would have enjoyed more of Dickon Tarly. I really hope the resurfacing of the now cured Jorah Mormont will stabilize her attitude. Her relationship dynamic with Jon Snow is also interesting – after them finally meeting there was definite sexual tension in the air, which is just a bit gross since they are related. Neither of them know it yet at least, so thus far that tension isn't a Lannister thing yet.
The combination of two of my favorite people in the show – Jon and Ser Davos – continues to keep me happy. I like Ser Davos so much – from his time where he acted as a kindly father figure to the now toasty Shireen Baratheon, Ser Davos is an honorable man who is loyal to his King. He's proven to be a great help to Jon, though not always the most linguistically capable comrade Jon has. I also liked Davos bringing in Gendry (YAY!) again, and I hope Gendry and Jon have great adventures together. I really liked the banter shared between Jon and Gendry in Episode 5, and might I just say Gendry turned in to a fine young man while he was hiding in plain sight. There was lots of humor – the banter about Robert Baratheon's girth and Jon not being as tall as Ned, and I particularly liked Gendry not hiding the fact that he's a Baratheon from Jon. It's important, because despite the many faults of Robert he and Ned were great friends and allies. Jon himself has grown – I've been annoyed with the character at times but he remains my favorite to be on the throne. He's agenda is different and he's focused on the right thing – the Night King and his frozen army. Jon had a moment where he stood up to Daenerys which I found really attractive – it is so pleasing when a righteous man puts his foot down once in a while. He's now on his way back to capture a Zombie, and I really hope he, Tormund Giantsbane and Jorah make it back out alive. (I also wish Tormund and Brienne marry and have big, scary babies). The scene with Jon touching the dragons are obviously important, and I found the setup of the scene fantastic.
Arya has finally dropped the part where she was no-one, and after being in one of the best and most rewarding opening scenes in a series where she avenges Robb Stark, she heads back to Winterfell to reunite with her siblings. This is important as she was on her way, and would likely have succeeded, in killing Cersei. There was this awkward moment with Ed Sheeran (the internet mayhem kept me entertained for weeks), and a moment with Hot Pie that I really enjoyed, and afterwards her reunion with Sansa really didn't have the same emotional punch as Sansa and Jon enjoyed in season six. I think it stems from the fact that the sisters were never really close at the start, and while they are probably happy to see each other they are likely still going to be competitive. Of the two sisters, Arya is my favorite. I think authority sits well on Sansa but she needs to get rid of Littlefinger – he has way too much hold on her at the moment.
I think the other last important thing to mention is Sam and Gilly. I like Gilly so much, and Sam a lot of the times, but he was just a bit annoying in the last episode. His heroics saved Jorah this season, for which we thank him, but his irritated dismissal of Gilly's information did not endear him to me. Sam lost his temper a bit with his position at the Citadel, and has now embarked to who knows where. He had a point there at least – to provide valuable information to Jon.
I really like the scenery, the battles, the costume design (as always fantastic in this show) and how plots are falling in place – my brother in-law feels that it is too designed and easy, but I am enjoying it. The entire story is finally escalating towards massive battle scenes. Every single family has been uprooted and displaced, and the Tyrells have been completely obliterated (fantastic exiting scene from Oleynna Tyrell). If I could have a scene where Littlefinger dies, where Jon and Arya are reunited, and possibly love between Brienne and Thormund, I will consider myself a very lucky person. I think Dany and Cersei squaring off is probably only the very last season, but we can hope for that to happen soon too as it will be amazing.
What are your thoughts this far in?

Episode Review: Game of Thrones, Season 6, Episode 1
The Red Woman
SO I'm finally ready to review GoT Season 6. It is time, and I must say I've avoided it for a while because five was a bit of a waste in my opinion. I'll do one episode per week, so if you've seen it, please feel free to discuss below – but if you haven't and the internet hasn't spoiled literally every surprise for you, note that that all of these posts contain spoilers.
First and foremost is the hopelessness that surrounds Jon Snow's death. Seeing him lying there so lifelessly is quite depressing, and it truly seems at this stage like yet another Stark has perished. I'm loving Ser Davos still, he's probably one of my favorite guys at this point. He obviously has no point what Melisandre has done to Shireen Baratheon. I hope when he finds out Melisandre will volunteer to face Ramsay's dogs before facing his wrath. Speaking of Melisandre – how hilarious and creepy is that scene where she drops all pretenses and we see just how well she's handled aging? I felt some vindictive pleasure in that.
I didn't really get Ramsay mourning for Myranda and then feeding her to the dogs, but hey, it's Ramsay here. Iwan Rheon is working his heart out in this role and he really deserves all the praise. I don't know how I can constantly wish that he would be a decent human being, even knowing what he's done. It's probably that innocent face that hides such a deplorable character.
Sophie Turner and Alfie Allen are both also doing outstanding work in this season. It really looks like they are freezing to death (I'm sure they did looking at that hopefully non-CGI weather), and they are both just so hopeless. I was exceptionally happy when Brienne and Podrick turned up, and things finally started looking better for Sansa. And yay to Theon for his bravery – atonement for his past transgressions, though I am not sure that I will ever completely like him after that Robb business.
Cersei's grief is still showcasing the only humane thing about her when she learns of Myrcella's death. I liked that, as I always do, and I think that is why people aren't quite ready yet to hate Cersei like they hated Joffrey. What I really didn't like was the Sand Snakes – Ellaria and the Sand Snakes seem petty, bitchy and just plain unnecessary at this point. I would have liked if they could have been slightly more like Brienne – still kicking ass but not being such pains about it. I'm not sure what is planned for The Sand Snakes in the upcoming episodes, but it seems a waste of time to be in Sunspear right now.
Everyone's other favorite Tyrion Lannister keeps his wit and personality in Mereen. He's still teamed up with Varys, who always manages to have little birds. No one is particularly happy with Daenerys at this point, who has been captured by the Dothraki in what really is the homebrand version of Khal Drogo. I must say, Daenerys is okay, but I'm really much more interested in Castle Black and Ramsay Bolton at this point.
To finish off the character focus, Arya is blind and begging on the streets of Braavos. I really hope the Waif dies, and soon, because I hate her. Not overly interested in this storyline right now, but Maisie Williams is also doing a fine job.
For a season starter episode it went quite well. The characters are all over the place at this point, and there are a whole lot of story lines involved. I'm not necessarily wishing that the body count rise, but it would be more helpful if some of these characters can get to one location and reconcile a few things. I'm particularly uninterested in Ellaria and her Snakes, it was just Season three / four business and while it was cool then, it's just a waste of screen time now.

Movie Review: Scorch Trials (2015)
Plot: After having escaped the Maze, the Gladers now face a new set of challenges on the open roads of a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles.
Littlefinger. I somehow know that he's going to be a villain. No hope that he has moral fiber. Aiden Gillen wasn't the most satisfying villain. There is something about polo necks that lacks the essence of masterminded evil, and more importantly, Gillen seems unconvinced about his role.
Security doors in Scorch Trials are opened by mere handles. Seems very secure.
The scene where they are relinquishing their only weapon to their friend that is becoming a zombie – Can we just talk about how stupid this is? Shoot the guy, he's indicated that he wants to die, and take your weapon. You know, to protect yourself.
The best thing about this film is that they found water in the very first building they entered.
Let's just quickly focus on these buildings – why are they looking like that? I need to know how buildings can be utterly destroyed by the sun. Windows are out, buildings have fallen over each other. There wasn't a specific war, earthquake or tornado. Those are the things I'd think would lead to buildings being completely destroyed.
This villain woman. Does she think she's Gandalf the White?
This Teresa chick. She's irritating AF with her judgy little face. Her biggest issue is that she lost her mother due to zombitis. Well, sorry, but now every teenager must give up their enzymes??
The new girl is at least better than Teresa. She obviously has more moral fiber than Teresa, and all in all I'd like her more to end up with beautiful Thomas. I'm appreciative that we finally have a girl in this movie that isn't completely repulsive or evil.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster – I like him. He does a good job with being a leader and a voice of reason.
So here's my issue with the whole Scorched world – why am I seeing green trees in this scene?
New definition for Dystopia: A story perpetuating the myth that teenagers matter.
Both movies so far have been really lopsided. The first one is arguably better, but I am still not all that sure what the hell is going on. I think reading the books would help, but I've heard from reputable sources that I'd pull my hair out with the writing that is going on in there. Apparently Scorch Trials are also one of those "incredibly loosely based" adaptions, so reading the books won't help all that much. I do know now that Thomas is planning to fetch Asian Zac Efron and save his life. And hopefully pop Teresa and Gandalf while he's at it.

That is sublime Bill. I love how it shifts from the poetry that comes from being observant of our surroundings to the more immediate demands that life makes of us. Really wonderful!
