366 UNDERGROUND: DESTINATION PLANET NEGRO (2013)
July 27, 2016 Giles Edwards	Leave a comment
Destination: Planet Negro!
DIRECTED BY: Kevin Willmott
FEATURING: Kevin Willmott, Tosin Morohunfola, Danielle Cooper, Trai Byers
PLOT: In order to flee early-20th century racism and find a new home for African Americans, physicist Warrington Avery and a crack squad of Black adventurers attempt a trip to Mars, only to have their rocket ship sucked through a worm hole which transports them into the jarring reality of modern-day America.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: The "time-traveling fish-out-of-water" story is a cinematic trope with a long pedigree. That these time-travelers are Black luminaries from the 1930s is something a novelty, but Destination: Planet Negro plays by the rules in an expected, but not unpleasant, manner.
COMMENTS: Having another socially conscientious movie be next on my to-do list could be viewed as a punishment for me by those who may have taken issue with my diatribe about Arabian Nights. However, my dislike of that movie did not stem from its progressive agenda, but from its wanting for anything remotely approaching "entertainment." It was no small relief that Kevin Willmott's satirical piece, Destination: Planet Negro (DPN) proved to be quite amusing and watchable, in addition to proffering some salient observations about modern and historical race issues.
My lingering frustration put aside, let me dive into the movie at hand. DPN starts right off with a sense of place: crisp black and white film sets the tone, and after opening-credits over a cosmic montage, we jump to an assemblage of Black luminaries in 1939. These top African-Americans are gathered to discuss, as one describes it, "the Negro problem." Not finding the United States welcoming, nor being keen on moving to Africa (too much poverty), Europe (risk of exotification), or the U.S.S.R. (these gents are no commies), Dr. Warrington Avery (Kevin Willmott) informs the august crowd that he has a plan to colonize the Red Planet for the Black Man. The skeptics are assuaged by none other than George Washington Carver. However, some of the attendees inform the local police, so Dr. Avery, his astronomer daughter Beneatha (Danielle Cooper), speed-demon Captain "Race" Johnson (Tosin Morohunfola), and a clumsy robot with a cracker personality are forced to take the trip on the fly.
At about the half-hour mark, the movie changes from black and white to color, as the space adventurers crash-land on a far off planet. The joke's on them, though: it's the same planet and same country, just 75 years later. And so DPN moves on from historical commentary to contemporary commentary. A run-in with Hispanic laborers in the back of a van suggests to them that slavery exists here. Observing a young black man making a purchase at a convenience store convinces them he's a slave: no eye contact, no words from the black man to the white cashier. DPN continues in this vein, ably expounding on the many similarities of treatment, though occasionally veering into the realm of the silly. In particular, the montage involving "Race" Johnson learning how to "walk like a Black guy" shouldn't have been included, much less gone on for as long as it did.
All told, DPN is a fun diversion for those seeking some observations about race relations. It didn't surprise me upon researching DPN that Kevin Willmott was the driving force behind 2004's speculative "documentary" C.S.A.: the Confederate States of America. There, too, he used the powers of humor and satire to make his point, all the while maintaining an appreciably light touch. Willmott seems aware that hitting people over the head with a blunt cinematic object can be counter-productive when making one's point. While some more pruning could have helped it better maintain its momentum (after the crash-landing scene, the movie itself nearly crashes), that criticism could be laid against most movies. In brief: not weird, but not bad.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"…highly recommended, provided you're in the mood for a campy, low-budget sci-fi whose cheesy special effects are more than offset by a profusion of insightful social statements."–Kam Williams, Baret News Network (contemporaneous)

CAPSULE: CHI-RAQ (2015)
April 11, 2016 El Rob Hubbard	2 Comments
DIRECTED BY: Spike Lee
FEATURING: Teyonah Parris, Nick Cannon, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, Wesley Snipes, Dave Chappelle, Harry Lennix, David Patrick Kelly, D.B. Sweeney
PLOT: A modern adaptation of the Classical Greek comedy "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes set against the backdrop of gun violence in Chicago: the girlfriend of a gang leader starts a movement with other women to withhold sex from men until the violence comes to an end.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: It may appear to be weirder than most of Spike Lee's recent output, but it's actually a refinement of stuff from his directorial toolbox, and the subject matter is too grounded in reality to call the approach 'weird'.
COMMENTS: [Full disclosure: I have worked with co-writer Kevin Willmott on several of his films.]
Amazon Studios couldn't have picked a better subject as the first production out of the gate. Chi-Raq is timely, guaranteed to start discussion, and it provides Spike Lee an opportunity that hasn't been available to him for awhile: it's his angriest film since 1989's Do the Right Thing. Not that he's been inactive as of late, but most of his vital work in the 00's has been in documentary, theater and independently financed features (Red Hook Summer and the crowdfunded for Da Sweet Blood of Jesus), while the major studios are more interested in steering his talents towards existing properties (the Oldboy remake).
Chi-Raq was originally developed as Gotta Give It Up, written by Kevin Willmott (C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America) as a 'hip-hop musical' with Jennifer Lopez eyed for the Lystristrata role. That project wasn't made, but the idea was resurrected and retooled as Chi-Raq, and just as elements found in previous Lee films show up refined and evolved (Do the Right Thing, School Daze), one can recognize the same in Wilmott's script (co-written with Lee): the complex interrelations of a community (Ninth Street), satire both slapstick and subtle (C.S.A., Destination Planet Negro) and the sense of history that's present throughout Willmott's work. Their sensibilities prove to be a good match for each other and for the material, and one can only hope that their collaboration will bear further fruit.
Satire works best when it's pointed and angry; Chi-Raq proves that. Its major targets are guns and gun violence in America, specifically in neighborhoods on Chicago's South-Side, and it's not subtle at all on that subject. It opens with the song "Pray 4 My City" playing over a red/white/blue graphic of the USA comprised of various calibers of guns, followed by a flashing "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY" graphic, followed by statistics of deaths in Iraq vs. gun deaths in Chicago. Gun violence is a constant presence in the film, and it takes it VERY seriously. The subplot involving Jennifer Hudson's daughter's death and the search for her killer ground the film in a reality that the lighter touches never obscure.
Obviously, the satirical touches are more pronounced in the main story, mainly concerning sex and power. One could see it as a modern-day version of one of Chester Hines' Harlem novels (Hines, in fact, did pen a ribald sex satire, "Pinktoes" that perhaps Messrs. Lee and Willmott might take on at some point). Although the "hip-hop musical" angle largely went by the wayside, some of it survives in live performances: a rap gig at a nightclub, gospel singers at a funeral service. The musical element reaches its apotheosis in "Operation Hot & Bothered" where the police & military attempt to draw out the women via tactics used in Panama, only instead of blasting rock music, they use "Oh Girl" by the Chi-Lites as the film cross-cuts between the women holding their chaste resolve inside and the military outside.
Performances are very good all the way around, although John Cusack was cheated of a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role as Father Mike Corrigan (based on real-life preacher/activist Father Michael Pfleger).
The film was first made available to stream from Amazon, where it can still be streamed; after a brief theatrical run, it was released to DVD/Blu-Ray in late January 2016. One advantage in the home video release is the availability of subtitles, which helps in appreciating Willmott's and Lee's wordplay. Also, being able to pause the film helps in catching some of the visual humor in the settings.
Extended and deleted scenes, mostly character bits that weren't essential, but help clarify some relationships, are included as extras.
"Urgent, surreal, furious, funny and wildly messy, the movie sounds like an invitation to defeat, but it's an improbable triumph that finds Mr. Lee doing his best work in years."–Manhola Dargis, The New York Times (contemporaneous)

THE MONDAY TIPOFF: Hawkeyes Find Their Big Ten Trophy
Caitlin Clark has a list of goals posted in her locker, and one of those goals says, "Win a Big Ten championship."
She saw that on Sunday morning when she arrived at Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the game against Michigan.
Win, and the No. 21 Hawkeyes would either win the conference title outright or share it with Ohio State.
Lose, and the trophy that had arrived at the arena was going to go back to Ann Arbor with the sixth-ranked Wolverines.
Clark saw those words.
Win a Big Ten championship.
"I'm like, 'OK, we're here, this is our moment,'" Clark said.
It was the same message Clark and the Hawkeyes got from head coach Lisa Bluder.
"Coach Bluder said, 'Just go take it,'" Clark said. "And that's what we did, really."
They took it with a 104-80 win in front of a sellout crowd of 15,056.
Took the trophy, and didn't let it go.
Of course, where the trophy was during the post-game press conference, no one was sure.
"I think," Clark said, "everyone wanted to take pictures with it."
It was Iowa's first conference title since 2008. The Hawkeyes shared it with Ohio State — the Buckeyes will be the top seed in this week's tournament in Indianapolis, Iowa will be the 2 seed — but they have the silver hardware that goes with the crown.
"I'm just so thankful," Bluder said. "This whole season has been amazing."
There was no straight path to this crown.
The Hawkeyes dealt with COVID-19 issues — theirs and those of other teams — that led to postponements and schedule changes.
Injuries — Iowa played some games with just seven players in uniform.
And there was the hole the Hawkeyes dug for themselves. A February 6 road loss to Michigan, followed by a February 14 home loss to Maryland, made Iowa the caboose in the train of teams at the peak of the top-heavy conference.
"Everything we went through, we didn't make excuses," Clark said. "That's not the type of team we are. We suffered some bad losses, that's just how it is. We probably could have made it easier on ourselves to win a Big Ten title if we didn't do that.
"But every team goes through that type of thing. That's what we kept saying. You can't make excuses."
The Hawkeyes would close the season with a fury. They swept Indiana in a two-games-in-three-days scheduling quirk caused by the Hoosiers' own COVID-19 problems in January. They won at Rutgers, winning over a program that has struggled all season but somehow always finds a way to bruise the Hawkeyes.
And then there was this win.
Clark had 38 points — she dropped 46 on the Wolverines earlier this season — sailing in 3-pointers from all parts of the frontcourt. She had two in 23 seconds in the second quarter, two in 16 seconds in the third.
Her 3-pointers have this dynamic at Carver-Hawkeye — gasps at where they are shot from, a wild eruption if they go in, an audible disappointment if they don't.
She had 11 assists, celebrating wildly on everyone, especially the 3-pointers she set up in the fourth quarter. There were six Clark rebounds, three steals.
Asked if this was her best game in two seasons with the Hawkeyes, Clark said, "Yeah, probably. I think I've had some good games, but we haven't been able to pull out the win, so that kind of puts the damper on everything."
Bluder has had star power before. The Hawkeyes are just a couple of seasons removed from the dominant post play of national player of the year Megan Gustafson, the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
There's a difference in what Clark does, Bluder said.
"Caitlin is in the situation where she has the ball in her hands all of the time," Bluder said. "When you have the ball in your hands all of the time, you can make an impact in the game, and you can also mess it up."
When Bluder said that, Clark nodded with a knowing smile.
"There's a lot of responsibility in that," Bluder continued. "She has a direct effect on the game when she's out there."
It's why Clark liked seeing the four 3-pointers from Kate Martin and McKenna Warnock and Gabbie Marshall go down in the fourth quarter. She had assists on three of those.
The Hawkeyes had a season-high 16 3-pointers. Clark had eight of them.
"The threes I shot were to keep us going, keep us alive, because we were in a hole there for a while," Clark said.
Iowa trailed by 11 points in the first quarter, then outscored Michigan 56-34 in the second and third quarters.
"I've played a lot of basketball games in my life," Clark said, "and that was the most fun, for sure."
Clark bumped fists with teammate Kylie Feuerbach in the post-game press conference. The two won a championship as AAU teammates, and became roommates after Feuerbach transferred from Iowa State in the offseason.
"You're my good-luck charm," Clark said.
"You're my good-luck charm," Feuerbach repeated, and the two laughed.
The Hawkeyes went 14-4 in the Big Ten, and that's significant. Iowa and Ohio State played their full schedules.
Bluder made sure to point out deputy director of athletics Barbara Burke, who was standing in the back of the press room. It was Burke who got Iowa's full Big Ten schedule put together when it became a jumbled mess that could have altered the Hawkeyes' season.
"Yes, she worked so hard with the Big Ten, and with schools, to get these games scheduled for us," Bluder said.
Maryland and Michigan, which went 13-4, each lost games that couldn't be rescheduled.
"Yeah, it's pretty crummy, huh?" Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico said.
Michigan had two wins over Maryland, one over Ohio State, one over Iowa, and fell a half-game short in the standings.
Barnes Arico recited that checklist. The one game they didn't play was against Illinois, which won one Big Ten game and just six overall.
"Yeah, that's pretty crushing," she said. "The reality is we didn't get to play the game. We're not co-Big Ten champs, and that's pretty crummy."
There was no trophy for the Wolverines to take home.
When Bluder arrived to become Iowa's coach in 2000, she and assistant coaches Jan Jensen and Jenni Fitzgerald talked about how they would like sellout home crowds.
Sunday's game was the first sellout since 1988.
"It was unreal," said Marshall, who said she got "chills" when she first came out on the court. " I've been here three years, I've never seen so many fans in this place."
The arena was empty an hour after the game when Bluder and her staff came out for more celebratory photos.
They had the trophy, finally, to themselves.
Go back to Clark's list of goals. Getting this trophy was the first one.
The conference tournament is this weekend. There is room for more metal.
"Why not win two Big Ten titles?" Clark said.

1. You already know that you need openings for 5˝ x 7˝ images. We usually recommend a minimum overlap of 1/8˝ on each side of the image. That means that the opening will be ¼˝ smaller on the height and width than the actual size of your image. For this example, the mat opening for a 5 x 7 image would be 4 ¾˝ x 6 ¾ ˝. This will be the starting point for creating the diagram.
2. Decide on the mat board borders. For this example we are going to have 1 inch in between each opening and 2 inches for the borders.
3. Add everything up across the width and across the height. This will be the final outside dimensions of the mat. For example: add 2 + 4.75 + 1 + 4.75 + 1 + 4.75 + 2 to get a width of 20.25 or 20 ¼˝. Then add 2 + 6.75 + 2 to get a height of 10.75 or 10 ¾.˝ 20 ¼ ˝ x 10 ¾ ˝ will be the outside dimensions of the mat (and frame, acrylic, and mounting board if you are ordering a frame package).
4. Next, go to www.americanframe.com to begin the ordering process. From the homepage, hover over the "Picture Frames" tab and browse frames until finding one you like. Shop by color, style, collections, or depth.
6. Go to the Mat tab and play with color possibilities. Once you have decided on a mat color, select "no cut" from the mat board cut type options.
7. Continue on to the glazing, mounting, and accessories tabs to configure the package to your specifications. Choose UV non-glare acrylic or black mounting boards, if you wish, even browse accessories that are tailored to your order.
8. Once everything is the way you like it, click "Add Package To Cart" to begin the checkout process.
9. Click "Proceed To Secure Checkout." You will be asked to sign into your account or continue as a guest.
10. Enter your address and scroll to the bottom of the page. Type "Sending diagram for the mat board" in the order instructions field.
11. Continue checking out until the order is complete.
12. Then, be sure to send us your mat diagram via fax (800.893.3898) or as an attachment to the email address, procut@americanframe.com. If sending via email, we accept both JPEG and TIFF files.
To calculate the price of your custom cut mat board, take the price of the mat board plus $3.00 per extra opening. The first opening is free. For example, an $8.00 board with 5 openings would be priced at $20.00.
Have you been wanting to create a collage frame with custom mat board of your own? What kind of images would you put inside?


Do you have some old files with you, on your computer or some shared drive, that no one seems to care about?
Nowadays I do everything online, for e.g.
But like you, I too have files all over my local machine, shared drives on the network or some hidden directory. Some that I had developed with some great enthusiasm, compiled with a lot of homework, some of them have even had some mileage over emails, some others could never see the light.
And with time we kind of loose track of them and they die, are not removed but remain mummified in their local confines.
So if you believe there's still some miles on your file, this is how BMC Communities helps you get it on the road again.
For your ppts and pdfs (or even Word docs) Upload it as a file and use the preview feature to show off to your Social group/community or even public. You'll be able to describe it with some intro text and viewers will have a cool inline browsing experience.
For technical discussions and product documentations you can Attach files, in your discussion replies. Just look out for the 'Advanced editor' text on your Reply editor and you'll be able to.
If you have lengthy log files, do not copy + paste them in your reply, rather attach the file in your reply.
What you just did is share your file with people (public/private) instead of having it locked away under a system of Record.
Your post will appear in the Activity stream of the Community/ Social group where more people are tuned in to and they'll be updated, even from their mobile devices. You'll have a url to share with more folks over emails/ IM conversations with anybody in the world.

The first skirmish of the 1987 budget battle is not over what Government programs to cut. Instead, the battle lines are being drawn on the Reagan Administration's estimates of military spending and the President's economic forecast.
The focus on estimates usually left to technicians is a result of the new budget-balancing law, which requires automatic spending cuts if Congress and the White House cannot agree on a savings package large enough to bring the deficit down to a statutory ceiling.
In this situation, an error of two percentage points in an interest rate forecast or a wrong estimate of military spending could determine whether automatic spending cuts occur. An error on either point could raise the deficit projection by more than $10 billion without any action by Congress.
''This year, if you're wrong in your estimates, it comes back to haunt you,'' said William H. Gray 3d, Democrat of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Mr. Gray and Pete V. Domenici, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said today that they hoped to be able to meet and reach agreement, at the least within Congress, on the forecast and other spending estimates. If they cannot, the budget process will be complicated in the same way that negotiations between two people are hindered when they do not speak the same language.
Already House and Senate budget writers, led by Mr. Domenici and Mr. Gray, are dismissing the Administration's military spending estimate for the fiscal year 1987, which begins Oct. 1. In this dispute, they have the backing of the Congressional Budget Office, which is the bipartisan agency that does budget estimates and economic forecasts for Congress. According to the Congressional experts, the Administration's spending estimate is $14.7 billion too low.
The outcome of this dispute could completely change the face of President Reagan's 1987 budget proposal.
Mr. Reagan's proposal says the budget deficit must be cut $38 billion in 1987 to reach the $144 billion ceiling under the new law. But if estimates from other technicians prevail, both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill will argue that the law requires reducing the deficit by $52 billion or so, an increase that would alter the political dynamics of the budget process.
Mr. Gray has called on Mr. Reagan to resubmit his budget with $14 billion in additional savings.
Members of the House and Senate Budget Committees have also questioned the optimism of the Administration's economic forecast for this year and next, which shows 4 percent growth on top of a rise for inflation.
The worry about the economic forecast also extends to the one done by the Congressional Budget Office. Mr. Domenici contends it is too optimistic as it approaches 1991, the year the budget must be balanced under the new law. This optimism has the effect of reducing the projected deficits.

Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency, attended an event to officially open the scheme today (Friday 22 March) along with representatives from the community.
Cllr Neil Parkin, Leader of Adur District Council and member of the Greater Brighton board, said: "The Adur Tidal Walls scheme will have an immeasurable impact on the residents and businesses in Shoreham and Lancing. It will not only will protect our communities from future flooding but it also gives investors certainty, supporting the creation of new homes and workplaces while opening up the riverside to local residents.
The old flood defences varied in height and many were coming to the end of their design life.
The new defences are formed of embankments, sheet pile walls, rock revetments, flood glass, and property level protection, and are designed to last for 100 years, with the option of being raised further to add even greater protection into the future.
Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency said: "This new scheme represents a remarkable feat of engineering which will see Shoreham better protected from flooding over the course of the next century.
Jake Berry MP, Minister for Local Growth, said: "It is good to see how Coast to Capital have worked with the Environment Agency to protect local businesses at Shoreham through the reinforcement of flood defences along the River Adur.
Floods Minister Thérèse Coffey said: "I'm delighted to see the Shoreham Adur Tidal Walls flood scheme open, protecting over 2,000 homes and businesses and supporting crucial local infrastructure including Shoreham Airport.

Tiesj Benoot sails away to glorious victory on stage six of Paris-Nice 2020
Max Schachmann just held onto the race lead after crashing in the final kilometre
By Alex Ballinger
Tiesj Benoot triumphed in remarkable fashion on stage six of Paris-Nice 2020, as Max Schachmann narrowly held his race lead after crashing in the final kilometre.
It was a phenomenal day of racing in the south of France, after race organisers confirmed stage six would be the penultimate day of racing in this year's edition.
Benoot capitalised on a phenomenal late breakaway ride by his Sunweb team-mate Søren Kragh Andersen in the final 30km, as Benoot bridged across from the peloton and then rode the final 10km alone to take a solo win in Apt.
Bora-Hansgrohe's Schachmann had ridden a flawless stage all day, before he overcooked a tight right-hand turn in the final kilometre and skidded into the barrier, losing 40 seconds on the stage winer and almost 20 seconds on his general classification rivals.
Stage six of this year's tumultuous Paris-Nice, as we now know the penultimate stage of the race, was a perfect opportunity for the climber's and the puncheurs to fight for glory.
Running over an endlessly undulating 161.5km, from Sorgues to Apt near France's southern coast, the course featured six categorised climbs and plenty of unmarked ramps.
The most important section fell in the final 50km of the stage, with the Côte de Saeneuve (5.2km at 5.3 per cent) coming at 124km, leading into the Côte d'Auribeau (4.7km at 5.6 per cent) which crested around 15km from home.
The final 15km then included a rapid descent into a short uphill dash, another short descent into a flat final few hundred metres.
It took a long time for the break to form, as everyone want to get a rider out in front on such a testing stage.
Eventually a remarkable seven-rider group of talent broke few of the peloton, including world champion Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale), Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) and Winner Anacona (Arkéa-Samsic).
That lead group were only allowed just over a minute advantage in the middle sections of the race, with the gap at around a minute with 47km to race.
Bardet and Cofidis rider Nicolas Edet opted to shake up proceedings and attacked the break with just over 40km to race, quickly building a gap of around 30 seconds on the remains of the break.
That move was followed by an attack from Sunweb's Søren Kragh Andersen from the bunch, who powered through the escapees to join Bardet and Edet with 30km to the line, the peloton 50 seconds in arrears.
That trio worked together but the peloton began to close them down with 20km to race, as the gap tumbled to 30 seconds.
Edet was dropped on the Aribeau, as Andersen ramped up the pressure and finally cracked Bardet near the summit of that final climb and pushed on alone.
Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) launched a big attack from the peloton with 15km to race and Andersen's team-mate Tiesj Benoot followed, with Benoot proving himself the strongest and dropping Nibali.
The Belgian caught his team-mate up the road, with Andersen taking up a support role for Benoot, before Andersen finally let go.
In the GC race, a tentative move from Sergio Higuita (EF Pro Cycling) in the peloton sparked a response from the leader Schachmann but ultimately came to nothing as a large group of overall favourites remained together.
Benoot hit the final climb around 5km from the line with 30 seconds on the peloton, looking strong and composed on the road.
Quick-Step's Bob Jungels set off in pursuit of Benoot and dangled off the front of the favourites group, eventually being swallowed with around 2km and instead working in support of his team leader Julian Alaphilippe.
Benoot tackled the final descent with comfort and maintained a comfortable lead into the final straight, claiming the outstanding win after a masterclass of team riding by Sunweb.
In the chasing group of favourites behind, everything looked neutralised until Max Schachmann misjudged a right-hand turn inside the final kilometre.
The German hit the barrier and dismounted his bike, before jumping back on and managing to reconnect a drop chain while pedalling, but by that point he had lost contact with the group.
>>> Confirmed: Giro d'Italia 2020 has been postponed
Sunweb's Michael Matthews sprinted to second place on the stage, making it a one-two result for the squad, with Sergio Higuita (EF Pro Cycling) taking third to put himself on a strong position for the final day of racing on stage six.
Schachmann finally crossed the line 40 seconds down on Benoot and 18 seconds back Higuita.
Heading into the final stage, which closes with a 16km mountain ascent, Schachmann leads by 18 seconds over Benoot in second, with Higuita now third at 43 seconds.

Wouldn't it be nice if everything was knowable, and known? Hmmm. Maybe not. The question, however, is moot. We don't know the answer to many questions. We are surrounded by the Big Unknown, and because Oracle Corporation prides itself on providing database technology to reflect the real world, it supports the concept of a null value.
IF my_string = NULL THEN ...--This will never be true.
IF max_salary = NULL THEN ...--This will never be true.
IF NULL = NULL THEN ...--Even this will never be true.
A null is never not equal to anything else. Remember: with null values, you just never know. None of the following IF statements can ever evaluate to TRUE.
IF my_string != your_string THEN ..--This will never be true.
IF max_salary != NULL THEN ...--This will never be true.
IF NULL != NULL THEN ...--This will never be true.
When you apply a function to a null value, you generally receive a null value as a result (there are some exceptions, listed below). A null value cannot be found in a string with the INSTR function. A null string has a null length, not a zero length. A null raised to the 10th power is still null.
IF LENGTH (my_string) = 0 THEN ...--This will not work.
new_value := POWER (NULL, 10);--new_value is set to null value.
In general, whenever you perform a comparison involving one or more null values, the result of that comparison is also a null value -- which is different from TRUE or FALSE -- so the comparison cannot help but fail.
Whenever PL/SQL executes a program, it initializes all locally declared variables to null (you can override this value with your own default value). Always make sure that your variable has been assigned a value before you use it in an operation.
where <identifier> is the name of a variable, a constant, or a database column. The IS NULL operator returns TRUE when the value of the identifier is the null value; otherwise, it returns FALSE. The IS NOT NULL operator returns TRUE when the value of the identifier is not a null value; otherwise, it returns FALSE.
In the following example, the validation rule for the hire_date is that it cannot be later than the current date and it must be entered. If the user does not enter a hire_date, then the comparison to SYSDATE will fail because a null is never greater than or equal to (>=) anything. The second part of the OR operator, however, explicitly checks for a null hire_date. If either condition is TRUE, then we have a problem.
Of course, if all the individual strings in a concatenation are NULL, then the result is also NULL.
The REPLACE function. The REPLACE function (described in Chapter 11) returns a string in which all occurrences of a specified match string are replaced with a replacement string. If the match_string is NULL, then REPLACE does not try to match and replace any characters in the original string. If the replace_string is NULL, then REPLACE removes from the original string any characters found in match_string.
Although there are some exceptions to the rules for null values, nulls must generally be handled differently from other data. If your data has NULLS, whether from the database or in local variables, you will need to add code to either convert your null values to known values, or use the IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators for special case null value handling.

Trains and Lovers by Alexander McCall Smith (Pantheon)
The rocking motion of the train as it speeds along, the sound of its wheels on the rails…There's something special about this form of travel that makes for easy conversation, which is just what happens to the four strangers who meet in Trains and Lovers. As they journey by rail from Edinburgh to London, the four travelers pass the time by sharing tales of trains that have changed their lives. A young, keen-eyed Scotsman recounts how he turned a friendship with a female coworker into a romance by spotting an anachronistic train in an eighteenth-century painting. An Australian woman shares how her parents fell in love and spent their life together running a railroad siding in the remote Australian Outback. A middle-aged American patron of the arts sees two young men saying goodbye in a train station and recalls his own youthful crush on another man. And a young Englishman describes how exiting his train at the wrong station allowed him to meet an intriguing woman whom he impulsively invited to dinner-and into his life.

Andrew Yancy-late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office-has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it's not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first-this being Hiaasen country-Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen's greatest characters.
The Engagements by J. Courtney Sullivan (Knopf)
Evelyn has been married to her husband for forty years-forty years since he slipped off her first wedding ring and put his own in its place. Delphine has seen both sides of love-the ecstatic, glorious highs of seduction, and the bitter, spiteful fury that descends when it's over. James, a paramedic who works the night shift, knows his wife's family thinks she could have done better; while Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen every kind of wedding-beach weddings, backyard weddings, castle weddings-and has vowed never, ever, to have one of her own.
As these lives and marriages unfold in surprising ways, we meet Frances Gerety, a young advertising copywriter in 1947. Frances is working on the De Beers campaign and she needs a signature line, so, one night before bed, she scribbles a phrase on a scrap of paper: "A Diamond Is Forever." And that line changes everything.
Queen of the Air: by Dean N. Jensen (Crown)
Like today's Beyonce, Madonna, and Cher, she was known to her vast public by just one name, Leitzel. There may have been some regions on earth where her name was not a household expression, but if so, they were likely on polar ice caps or in the darkest, deepest jungles. Leitzel was born into Dickensian circumstances, and became a princess and then a queen. She was not much bigger than a good size fairy, just four-foot-ten and less than 100 pounds. In the first part of the 20th century, she presided over a sawdust fiefdom of never-ending magic. She was the biggest star ever of the biggest circus ever, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, The Greatest Show on Earth. In her life, Leitzel had many suitors (and three husbands), but only one man ever fully captured her heart. He was the handsome Alfredo Codona, the greatest trapeze flyer that had ever lived, the only one in his time who, night after night, executed the deadliest of all big-top feats, The Triple-three somersaults in midair while traveling at 60 m.p.h.
In Times of Fading Light by Eugen Ruge (Graywolf Press)
In Times of Fading Light begins in September 2001 as Alexander Umnitzer, who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer, leaves behind his ailing father to fly to Mexico, where his grandparents lived as exiles in the 1940s.
The novel then takes us both forward and back in time, creating a panoramic view of the family's history: from Alexander's grandparents' return to the GDR to build the socialist state, to his father's decade spent in a gulag for criticizing the Soviet regime, to his son's desire to leave the political struggles of the twentieth century in the past.
With wisdom, humor, and great empathy, Eugen Ruge draws on his own family history as he masterfully brings to life the tragic intertwining of politics, love, and family under the East German regime.
Evil and the Mask by Fuminori Nakamura (Soho Crime)
When Fumihiro Kuki is eleven years old, his elderly, enigmatic father calls him into his study for a meeting. "I created you to be a cancer on the world," his father tells him. It is a tradition in their wealthy family: a patriarch, when reaching the end of his life, will beget one last child to dedicate to causing misery in a world that cannot be controlled or saved. From this point on, Fumihiro will be specially educated to learn to create as much destruction and unhappiness in the world around him as a single person can. Between his education in hedonism and his family's resources, Fumihiro's life is one without repercussions. Every door is open to him, for he need obey no laws and may live out any fantasy he might have, no matter how many people are hurt in the process. But as his education progresses, Fumihiro begins to question his father's mandate, and starts to resist.
The Illusion of Separateness by Simon Van Booy (Harper)
Whether they are pursued by Nazi soldiers, old age, shame, deformity, disease, or regret, the varied characters of Simon Van Booy's utterly compelling novel The Illusion of Separateness discover in their darkest moments of fear and isolation that they are not alone, that they were never alone, that every human being is a link in an unseen chain.
This gripping, emotional story intertwines the stories of several compelling characters: a deformed German infantryman; a lonely British film director; a young, blind museum curator; Jewish-American newlyweds separated by war; a lost child on the brink of starvation; and a caretaker at a retirement home for actors in Santa Monica. The same world moves beneath each of them, and one by one, through seemingly random acts of selflessness, they discover the vital parts they have played in each other's lives, a realization that shatters the illusion of their separateness.

Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban (NYRB Classics)
Life in a city can be atomizing, isolating. And it certainly is for William G. and Neaera H., the strangers at the center of Russell Hoban's surprisingly heartwarming novel Turtle Diary. William, a clerk at a used-book store, lives in a rooming house after a divorce that has left him without home or family. Neaera is a successful writer of children's books, who, in her own estimation, "looks like the sort of spinster who doesn't keep cats and is not a vegetarian. Looks…like a man's woman who hasn't got a man." Entirely unknown to each other, they are both drawn to the turtle tank at the London zoo with "minds full of turtle thoughts," wondering how the turtles might be freed. And then comes the day when Neaera walks into William's bookstore, and together they form an unlikely partnership to make what seemed a crazy dream become a reality.

The more she learns about Birch Grove's recent past, the more Jane comes to suspect that there is something sinister going on. Why did the wife of a popular teacher kill herself? What happened to the previous scholarship student, whose place Jane took? Why does Lucien's brother, Jack, seem to dislike her so much?

A Private Little War by Jason Sheehan (47North)
The pilots of Flyboy, Inc., landed on the alien planet of Iaxo with a mission: In one year, quash an insurrection; exploit the ancient enmities of an indigenous, tribal society; and kill the hell out of one group of natives to facilitate negotiations with the surviving group – all over 110 million acres of mixed terrain. At first, the double-hush, back-burner project went well. With a ten-century technological lead on the locals, the logistical support of a powerful private military company, and aid from other outfits on the ground, it was supposed to be an easy-in, easy-out mission that would make the pilots of Flyboy, Inc., very, very rich. But the natives of Iaxo had another plan – and what was once a strategic slam-dunk has become a quagmire, leaving the pilots of Flyboy, Inc., on an embattled distant planet, waiting for support and a ride home that may never come- This dark debut novel tells the tale of a secret war – and the struggle to stay sane in a world that makes no sense. A Catch-22 for a new generation, A Private Little War is sure to become a science fiction classic.
The Fort by Aric Davis (Thomas & Mercer)
When a serial killer abducts a suburban neighborhood girl, three boys shed their adolescence and catapult themselves into a desperate search for the missing teen—and their independence.
With the boys' new fort finally finished, everything that summer was going great. And then the killer showed up. During the summer of 1987, from their tree house fort in the woods, neighborhood boys Tim, Scott, and Luke spot a man holding a gun to missing sixteen-year-old Molly Peterson back. The problem is, nobody believes their story, not even the police. As search efforts to find Molly dwindle, the boys know that she, and the man with the gun, are nearby – and that they must now find and save Molly themselves. A growing sense of honor and urgency forces the boys to take action – to find Molly, to protect themselves, and to stand guard for the last long days of summer.
Notes from the Blender by Trish Cook and Brendan Halpin (Egmont USA)
Declan loves death metal-particularly from Finland. And video games-violent ones. And internet porn-any kind, really. He goes to school with Neilly Foster and spends most of his classroom time wondering what it might be like to know her, to talk to her, maybe even to graze against her sweater in the hallway. Neilly is an accomplished gymnast, naturally beautiful, and a constant presence at all the best parties (to which Declan is never invited). She's the queen of cool, the princess of poker face, and her rule is uncontested-or it was until today, when she's dumped by her boyfriend, betrayed by her former BFF Lulu, and then informed she's getting a new brother-of the freaky fellow classmate variety. Declan's dad is marrying Neilly's mom. Soon. Which means they'll be moving in together.
The Uninvited by Liz Jensen (Bloomsbury USA)
A seven-year-old girl puts a nail gun to her grandmother's neck and fires. An isolated incident, say the experts. The experts are wrong. Across the world, children are killing their families. Is violence contagious? As chilling murders by children grip the country, anthropologist Hesketh Lock has his own mystery to solve: a bizarre scandal in the Taiwan timber industry.
Hesketh has never been good at relationships: Asperger's Syndrome has seen to that. But he does have a talent for spotting behavioral patterns and an outsider's fascination with group dynamics. Nothing obvious connects Hesketh's Asian case with the atrocities back home. Or with the increasingly odd behavior of his beloved stepson, Freddy. But when Hesketh's Taiwan contact dies shockingly and more acts of sabotage and child violence sweep the globe, he is forced to acknowledge possibilities that defy the rational principles on which he has staked his life, his career, and, most devastatingly of all, his role as a father.
Shout Her Lovely Name by Natalie Serber (Mariner Books)
Mothers and daughters ride a familial tide of joy, pride, regret, guilt, and love in these acclaimed stories of flawed, resilient women. Wheat bread and plain yogurt become weapons in a battle between a teenage daughter and her mother. An aimless college student, married to her much older professor, sneaks cigarettes while caring for their newborn son. On the eve of her husband's fiftieth birthday, a pilfered fifth of rum, rogue teenagers, and an unexpected tattoo has a woman questioning her place in her children's lives. And we follow through two decades the family created when capricious, magnetic Ruby, an ambitious college student, becomes a single mother to cautious daughter Nora in 1970s California. Shout Her Lovely Name is a "funny, bittersweet" (Vanity Fair) book that announces the arrival of a stunning new writer.

Applicants can apply for Canadian permanent residence through both Express Entry as well as Provincial nomination programs. Express entry program operates through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to select appropriate profiles for immigration. A minimum of 67 points out of 100 is necessary to become eligible for the program. So, if you are interested in Canada Express entry program, then it is suggested to check whether you have CRS score above 67 or not; otherwise, all your efforts and hard-earned money go waste.
Selection factors used in the CRS score for FSWC include age, level of education, work experience, language skills, and connections in Canada. Once you have scored this FSWC threshold, you can process further steps of the application process to enter the Express entry pool. Concerned authorities evaluate profiles against each other in the pool and send invites to apply to only high scoring candidates for permanent residence through the draws.
If Canada is in your mind, then make sure first qualify the minimum points for Canada Express Entry Program. The following is the table for shares of each selection factor in 100 points table assessment grid.
An applicant must be at least 18 years of age to apply for Canadian immigration programs. As the aim of targeting immigrants across the globe is to boost up the economy of the nation so, maximum points (12 points) in this factor go to individuals having age between 18 years to 35 years.
The educated population is one of the most powerful strengths of the nation. So, if you are interested in immigrating to Canada, then your educational background plays an important role in the approval of your application. Maximum number for education in point's grid is 25.
The government of Canada needs only those internationals in its country whose skills are high in demand in the labour market of Canada or who can fit the best for vacant Canadian job profiles, which are not fulfilled through Canadian residents and permanent residence visa holders. So, it is advisable to go through complete National Occupational Classification (NOC) system including skilled type O, A and B. Credit points increase with the increase in years of work experience.
French and English are two official languages of Canada so; the government wants immigrants to be well-versed in both languages. For that, it makes compulsory for all aspirants to clear language proficiency test like IELTS, TEF, TOEFL and more to become eligible for Canadian PR visa. This factor contributes the most in your total CRS score with a maximum of 28 points.
If an applicant has any connection like a family member, relative, friend or spouse in Canada, then he/she gets the benefit of an additional 10 points towards his/her express entry score.
Under this factor, skilled workers with a job offer from a Canadian employer, score a maximum of 10 points.

Livermore Stories: Caddis Wines
This is another installment of a series called "Livermore Stories," which takes a look at the most exciting wineries in this wine growing region located east of San Francisco. More than 50 wineries now call Livermore Valley home. The wines have never been better, and the wineries have great stories to tell. It's barrel tasting weekend at the end of March in Livermore Valley, and only the third time that Caddis Wines has been open to the public. "We're in our pop up tasting room," says Chris Sorensen, winemaker and co-owner. "We're the new guys in town," adds his co-owner Courtney Garcia.

At a mere 300 cases, "we're tiny but we're mighty," says Courtney. She and Chris met when she started working at nearby Occasio Winery, where Chris…

The related challenges are attained to the differences in perceptions, objectives, values and motivations between academic scientists and firms stemming from different disciplines and industries. Group concept mapping, an exploratory and bottom-up participatory method that brings together stakeholders to represent their collective perceptions, was therefore applied to investigate challenges in technology transfer. Using this approach, this study is able to offer the first overview of factors affecting technology transfer in the bioeconomy through the aggregate representation of the perceptions of different stakeholder groups (i.e. academic scientists, technology transfer facilitators, and firms/entrepreneurs). These factors are visualized in form of maps by means of multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. Furthermore, a quantitative ranking of the factors is used to demonstrate the degree to which the importance of the perceived factors differs across stakeholder groups. Factors related to interdisciplinary collaborations and collaborations between academics and firms as well as those tied to financial issues or consumer acceptance are assigned the highest level of relative importance. However, these factors are also characterized by the lowest level of relative coherence across key stakeholders. Finally, managerial and policy recommendations for cultivating successful technology transfer in the context of other interdisciplinary and emerging knowledge areas are suggested.
