Non-Review Review: The High Note
Posted on May 25, 2020 by Darren
The High Note doesn't quite manage to hit the peak that it title suggests, but it hits most of the notes that it needs to.
The basic plot of The High Note concerns a personal assistant named Maggie who works for Grace Davis. Davis is a singer in the twilight years of her career, working hard to remain relevant and to stay afloat in an industry that seems ready to cast her aside. Maggie is convinced that her boss (and her idol) is capable of delivering so much more than her management and her record label expect of her, but finds herself trapped in an uphill battle to prove that she has a vision that is worth listening to.
She's got the juice.
There are any number of obvious comparisons to be made with The High Note. The classic underappreciated-working-stiff-is-finally-recognised-as-a-prodigious-talent narrative unfolding against a Hollywood backdrop obviously evokes any of the myriad (official and unofficial) versions of A Star is Born. However, the emphasis within that template on a demanding ageing female star and the younger woman working under her feels like it is somewhat carried over from Nisha Ganatra's previous film, Late Night.
The High Note is tremendously predictable, but it's to the credit of Flora Greeson's screenplay that the movie understands this. There are very few surprises nestled in the story, but The High Note leans into that. It is a surprisingly and endearing gentle movie about the path to stardom, one that keeps its stakes low and which tempers its formula with just enough self-awareness to avoid feeling stale or rehashed. The High Note is solid, sturdy and appealing – even if it seems to reflect the Grace Davis that audiences see, rather than the one that Maggie aspires towards.
Tune in for more…
There is something vaguely interesting in how The High Note tweaks the formula of A Star is Born for the millennial generation. Maggie clearly longs for success in show business, but she is not picked from obscurity working a dead-end job outside the industry. Her talent isn't even particularly acknowledged or celebrated by those inside the industry. Instead, Maggie works a thankless job in the shadow of fame and fortune, one that appears to demand incredibly long hours and exhausting physical labour, all while toiling in the background silently.
Of course, The High Note makes it clear that Maggie is employed and compensated by Grace for the work that she does, even if her salary seems unlikely to reflect her value. On seeing Maggie's car, a drunken Grace jokes, "Your boss needs to give you a raise!" Maggie interacts with the other people caught in Grace's orbit, like the perpetual hanger-on Gail, who insists that tethering herself to Grace could pay dividends in hand-me-downs. "You live in the pool house," Maggie replies. Gail responds, "And you could, too. If you're lucky."
Growing old with Grace…
As such, more indirectly than directly, Maggie seems to reflect some of the anxieties and uncertainties of her generation. Maggie's situation is not too uncommon from the stories whispered in Hollywood about the absurd amount of labour that personal and executive assistants do for their employers, often for trivial remuneration and the promise of a shot at advancement that never materialises. (Although it is odd to make the comparison in the context of a review of a feel-good rom-com star-is-born film, The Assistant is built around this idea as well.)
More than that, The High Note consciously blurs the boundaries between Maggie's personal and professional lives in ways that perhaps reflect the more complex dynamics between millennials and celebrities. Maggie is not just Grace's personal assistant, she is a huge fan of Grace. Maggie adores Grace, and her function as fan and hype woman often blur. She manages Grace's social media. In her spare time, Maggie remixes Grace's live recordings. Indeed, when The High Note suggests that Maggie aspires to be a producer, it suggests that she aspires to produce for Grace.
The most personal assistant.
There's a lot to unpack there, and The High Note largely avoids digging too deeply or too aggressively into those blurred boundaries and the recurring sense that Grace has (whether consciously or not) found a way to leverage Maggie's worship of her into a degree of labour that is of much higher value than the figure on her paychecks. The High Note isn't interested in deconstructing or analysing this evolving relationship between fan and employee, nor about the uncomfortable levels of intimacy expected of this sort of dynamic given the power play within it.
To be fair to The High Notes, there are moments when the film broaches just enough self-awareness to get away with avoiding that deep dive. Although The High Note isn't necessarily bloodthirsty or ruthless enough to give Maggie the sort of reality check that one might expect from a more cynical study of celebrity, the film does repeatedly underscore that Maggie's planned career arc is a romantic fantasy rather than an approach that is likely to generate any meaningful results.
Music to her ears.
"You're not her friend," warns Katie, Maggie's roommate. (In a nice recurring joke that further plays into this sense of self-awareness, Maggie's pursuit of fame and fortune is gently played off Katie's career as a doctor. After seeing a photo of Katie performing open heart surgery, Maggie confesses to a friend, "Everything we do is meaningless.") When Maggie does make a bold and ambitious play to step into the role of producer, Grace's manager Jack Robertson is quick to caution her, "It don't happen like this."
The High Note repeatedly plays with the idea that Maggie believes herself to be the lead in a story similar to A Star is Born. At one point, constructing an elaborate plot to earn a new act a high-profile gig, she pitches a scheme to Ocean's 11 the young artist's way on to the playbill. She describes in great detail exactly how she envisages the manipulation unfolding, even ending her pitch with the instruction, "Roll credits." There's something gently but firmly subversive in the way that The High Note refuses to play out exactly as Maggie expects.
Staging her next career move.
Of course, The High Note doesn't entirely reject these clichés. It just opts for a slightly different set. It would be too much to refer to The High Note as a particularly insightful or brutal commentary on these sorts of rags-to-riches narrative. After all, the path that Maggie eventually follows to her dream is hardly more developed or more convincing than the one that The High Note so softly ridicules. There is a sense in which these little acknowledgements serve as a fig leaf, a way to add just enough shading to a well-worn cliché to make it workable in a modern context.
There is an appealing gentleness to The High Note, particularly in its treatment of both Maggie and Grace. Both characters are given distinctive perspectives and motivations, with the film carrying a great deal of affection for both. It's notable that even the obligatory "older artist stuck in a creative rut" plot elements are cushioned to avoid any sharp edges. "Lucky her songs are good, or we'd have died of them by now," reads one review of an early concert, the kind of review that Jackson Maine would have killed for in A Star is Born.
Driving ambition.
This gentleness robs The High Note of any real tension. There is never any real prospect that things are going to end poorly for either Maggie or Grace. Everything in the film seems to unfold precisely as it needs to, in order to ensure that the audience is never too uncomfortable or too unsettled by anything they see on screen. While there is a hint of self-awareness to the film's path-to-stardom story, the central romance between Maggie and a young artist named David hits all of the requisite beats at all the expected points – and hinges on a gigantic coincidence.
Still, it's hard to react too forcefully or too cynically to The High Note, in large part because that gentleness feels very much like a charm offensive. As with Ganatra's previous film, the heart of The High Note is a conflict between a young ambitious woman and her older established mentor, hinging on the chemistry between the two. Dakota Johnson is great as Maggie, bringing an appealing charisma to a role that could easily be thankless. However, Johnson doesn't share the same chemistry with Tracee Ellis Ross that Mindy Kaling had with Emma Thompson in Late Night.
Cool as a Cube.
This is a minor problem. Ross is engaging enough in her own right, and Ganatra works very well with the cast. Highlights include a charmingly comic supporting performance from Ice Cube, which handily demonstrates why the actor has spent so much of his cinematic career working in comedy. Again, there's something just slightly self-aware in casting Ice Cube as a somewhat cynical musical manager – just as there's something a little cheeky in having Ocean's 13 star Eddie Izzard introduce himself by declaring, "I love Ocean's 11."
The High Note is solid and sturdy, reliably and efficiently constructed. It is smart enough to know how to pitch itself, and so skirts the edges of some interesting ideas rather than committing to them, and delivering largely what audiences expect from a film like this with only a patina of self-awareness. Lucky of the execution of these familiar clichés is good, or we'd have died of them by now.

I began my Wing Chun training in 2001 and practiced at several schools in Sweden. In 2005, I started traveling to Hong Kong for further training. There I went to a few different schools but in 2008 I was very lucky to meet my Sifu Donald Mak. His skills and knowledge of Wing Chun are impressive. I realized quickly that I found myself a high-skilled master. He accepted me as one of his students and ever since I've traveled every year to Hong Kong to learn from him.
After a few years of training with SiFu Mak, I got his blessings to both examine students and appoint instructors in the International Wing Chun Organization (IWCO), which is his worldwide Wing Chun organization. In 2017, my SiFu formally accepted me as a Todai (disciple), and I performed my Bai Si ceremony earlier this year. It was a huge honor and one of my biggest accomplishment in Martial Arts.
In my experience, the most biggest misconception people have of Wing Chun is that it's easy. The basics are indeed easy and Wing Chun can be efficient in self-defense but to really master the system is a life long journey. Kung Fu is "a skill achieved through hard work", and that is really true.
If you want to be good at Kung Fu, you need to focus on the basics. Don't try to skip steps and rush through the techniques. Be patient and master one technique before learning another.
I think those movies have created a lot of people's interest in Wing Chun but they are not very realistic. If someone tells you that they can defeat 10 black belts in a fight than they are probably lying or trying to make money of you.
To me, and the way I teach my students, Wing Chun is not about fighting even though it is a very efficient way of fighting. But if you just want to learn how to fight I would recommend something else. Wing Chun is not only a great self defense system but a way of life. It can help you in all aspects of life.
I think the educational system can learn a lot from Kung Fu. It really helps you to focus and relax both body and mind. It also teaches you patience and concentration, as well as self-confidence and respect for others.
In general I think it's good. Many things in Wing Chun were very secretive in the old days (I think it was the same in other Kung Fu styles).
Thanks to sites like YouTube, a lot of information is out there. You just need to sort out what's good and bad.
On the downside it seems that people think they can learn Wing Chun from watching videos. Sure you can learn some basic exercises but a video will not give you the right focus of power/structure and sensitivity. In short, you cannot master the Wing Chun system through YouTube, even though videos/books are a great way to gather information. It can never replace a Sifu teaching you the system and having classmates to reinforce what you've learned through sparring and drills.
Wing Chun is evolving every day. These are very exciting times because, thanks to the internet, it's very easy to find other practitioners from other lineages and exchange experience and ideas.
With the emergence of MMA, there will be constant pressure on some traditional martial arts to become "MMA-friendly," so the challenge will be how to respond to the emergence of MMA while keeping your martial art pure and traditional. One possible direction or path is to demonstrate how your traditional Kung Fu can work in MMA situations. Another is to just ignore MMA and focus on core skills since many traditional martial arts aren't geared for competition. For example, thrusts to the eyes, punches to the throat, kicks to the groan, and arm locks are forbidden in MMA but are at the core of Wing Chun and other styles of Kung Fu.
To be humble and realize that no martial art is the ultimate martial art. When searching for a martial art, you should not look for what others claim to be the best system but the system that works best for you.
If you don't put in the work, you won't be good no matter what system you are learning. You have to find it interesting in order for you to put all the work into it.
In my opinion every martial art has profound ideas on how to fight, and I think we should learn more from each other by exchanging skills, rather than nagging about what is the best martial art.


Swarthmore College has always been committed to understanding and affirming its traditions, and this year a sesquicentennial celebration presents a fresh opportunity to reflect on how the College has changed throughout its 150 years and how it has stayed the same.
In 1869, the year doors opened to students, it cost just $5,000 to endow a full scholarship. Students paid $350 per year. There were no elaborate admissions processes or college tours. One of our first students, Helen McGill, Class of 1873, would go on to become the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in the country, thus launching the College's long tradition of sending graduates on to earn advanced degrees.
Edward Parrish, Swarthmore's first president, taught ethics, chemistry, and the physical sciences. Edward McGill, our second president, oversaw the secondary program and taught languages. Helen Longstreeth served as surrogate mother and was the chief administrator of the staff. The required courses were English, Latin, mathematics, natural science, chemistry, and ethics. Students could then pick two of the following four: Greek, German, French, and practical chemistry.
From the beginning, there was tension between academic excellence and the social life of students. Parrish lost his job for being too liberal on the latter. McGill, his replacement, quickly put in place his famous "100 Rules" (bit.ly/MagillsRules). Sometime in the 1880s, the Board abandoned these rules, fearing they were suppressing admissions numbers. No doubt, later presidents have on occasion wished for at least some of McGill's rules to be reinstated.
Of course learning to live in association and learning at least some of the skills of democratic associative living are part and parcel of college life. Alumni love to talk of the Hamburg Show, folk festivals, and lots of parties—and, more recently, the McCabe Mile, the Crum Regatta, and the Pterodactyl Hunt.
Changes through the years have included abandoning the requirement that the Board consist only of Quakers. Departments have been dropped and added, and within disciplines, knowledge expanded and changed. We added music, studio art, theater, and dance majors, supported by facilities made possible by Gene Lang '38. The addition of the Black Cultural Center and, later, the Intercultural Center expanded support for students and contributed to diversity on campus. The first study-abroad program was launched in 1972 in Grenoble, France. The Philip Evans Scholars Program, founded by Jerry Kohlberg '46, brought students to campus, where they could develop as critical thinkers, compassionate citizens, and engaged participants in local and world affairs.
Collection at first was daily, then weekly; by 1970, it was held three times a semester and had evolved into talks by the faculty and the president. Now we have Collections at the beginning and end of a student's career, though in recent years, we've held some on an ad hoc basis.
Swarthmore has at times soared, and, at other times, fallen short of its highest aspirations. Certainly one of our greatest faults was our slowness to enroll African-Americans. After all, the College was founded by abolitionists. As resident historian Christopher Densmore has noted, by the time we were founded, "probably no one could remember a time when Quakers weren't 100 percent opposed to slavery." Yet we did not enroll African-American students until 1943. And barely then. The 1969 crisis during which students demanded increased enrollment of black students helped move the College forward, and perhaps it ought to remind us that even in the excellence of our striving for good, we falter. It ought also to remind us of the importance of continuing to strive.
Of course, much has stayed the same. Reading through Swarthmore's historical documents reveals a strong sense of academic restlessness and drive; an interest in Quaker values, especially simplicity; and a concern for access and support for students. From the beginning, alumni have expressed incredible gratitude for the College—gratitude matched by the generous support afforded generations of faculty and students. Ours is a history of transforming lives time and time again.
Clearly, the center of our distinctiveness has been the commitment to, as alumni call it, "academic rigor." Some of us prefer the term "academic vigor." After all, it's a vigorous quest for knowledge—the willingness to question everything and to pursue truth at all costs—that makes Swarthmore what it is.

TECHNE CDA studentship for October 2023
Home > Kingston School of Art
Storytelling in Libraries: Making Community
In partnership with Camden Library Services and Kingston School of Art.
Kingston School of Art and Camden Library Services welcome applications for an AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership studentship: Storytelling in Libraries: Making Community. This is offered under the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership Scheme, to begin in October 2023.
Deadline for expressions of interest: 8 January, 2023, midnight (GMT)
Interviews: Tuesday 17 January 2023
Project supervisors: Professor Maria Chatzichristodoulou and Professor Meg Jensen (co-supervisors), Kingston School of Art, in collaboration with Fiona Tarn of Camden Library Services.
Project vision
Across the country, public library services are re-imagining their roles to support the rapidly changing needs of their communities, driven by shifting demographics, digital technology, the climate crisis, the pandemic and the UK's challenging economic environment. Local authorities have lost significant funding since 2010, which had an impact on local library services. The legacy of austerity in the UK has necessitated a rethinking of the meaning of 'community' as well as the scope and purpose of public libraries, including the re-imagining of local libraries as 'Community Hubs.' Recent studies have demonstrated that to develop successful and transformative community groups, a sense of "psychological safety" and mutual trust must be created, and that such a safe space can be enabled through the sharing of stories over time (Duhigg 2016; Edmonson 1999). Strong community bonds, forged by shared storytelling, lead to the kinds of transformative thinking that is necessary to address the multiple challenges facing UK communities and local library systems today.
During and Post-Covid, demands have been placed on library systems to conceive of strategies to break down social isolation and support wellbeing through the delivery of creative events and services, in addition to offering health information, public education, facilitating community interaction and enhancing social cohesion. This collaborative doctoral award (CDA) seeks to intervene in this challenging context by analysing the effectiveness of a practice-research storytelling methodology in asset-based community development. Conducted in partnership between Kingston School of Art and Camden Borough Libraries in central London, this CDA will identify best practice in the design and delivery of library-based, transformative, community-building storytelling initiatives, and model approaches to inclusive and sustainable communities through storytelling practices within the public libraries context.
Camden Borough Council aspires to transform its Library Services into 'Community Hubs', where residents can access, alongside books, cultural and community events, educational and developmental activities, information and council services. Most importantly, the community hubs must serve residents through facilitating interaction and connections between different communities in order to build community resilience, reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing. The hubs aim to connect a diverse range of people through different community led activities that take an 'asset development' approach, enabling communities to build on their strengths. This project will research the use of storytelling as one of the main tools in leading this transformation of Library services from assets that primarily serve individuals, to hubs that serve and connect the whole community.
The project will begin by identifying best practice via the collection and analysis of data on existing local, library-based storytelling activities across Camden, focusing on their impact on health, well-being and community cohesion. It will interrogate and quantify the value of storytelling as a tool for community development that can support Library Services in their community, bringing together diverse local and regional groups.
Under the supervision and guidance of Chatzichristodoulou, Jensen and Tarn, the appointed researcher will undertake the following:
Track, collate and analyse data generated by existing local, library-based storytelling activities across Camden, focusing on their impact on health, well-being and community cohesion. Storytelling in this context is understood broadly, and can include thematic conversations, storytelling for children and young people, creative writing, oral histories, visual and sensory storytelling, and more. The researcher will identify and examine existing examples of good practice, developing oversight of storytelling initiatives for community development by public and community libraries in the UK.
Based on data collection and analysis, they will (co-)design with Camden Library staff and deliver a programme of storytelling aimed at enhancing community participation and cohesion. Storytelling will be used towards asset-based community development through a practice-research methodology. The programme could take place across all Camden libraries or focus on one-two libraries in the Borough, depending on need.
Drawing on the combined datasets generated by desk study, observation and analysis, practice research, reflection and evaluation, they will lead on the development of a storytelling toolkit for public libraries as an output of this research. The researcher will then deliver the toolkit to Camden libraries, testing it with library staff.

Since then David has taken part in a number of Bushcraft courses and expeditions in order to constantly further his knowledge and skills. David is also a qualified Engineer who enjoys mountain climbing, canoeing and skiing.
As a child growing up in Norfolk Malcolm couldn't wait to get out of the house and into the woods where he spent many hours walking, building shelters and watching wildlife. He started to develop his outdoors skills in the scouts and as an adult has furthered those skills by attending several bushcraft courses and active participation in bushcraft events. Malcolm derives satisfaction from learning and teaching practical skills that are essential to wilderness living. He particularly enjoys the "craft" side of bushcraft such as carving, ropework, knifemaking and leatherwork.
Tony has been working for the Canoeman since 2007 instructing on a variety of Bushcraft and Canoe trails. He first became interested in teaching around 20 years ago, training the scouts in survival skills and running survival camps to put their skills into practice. Tony then went on to teach other scout leaders bushcraft skills and outdoor cooking. Tony is also a fully qualified Canoe Instructor.
Mark has worked for TheCanoeMan for over three years as a guide on the canoe trails and as a canoe or activity instructor on other courses. He is a BCU level 3 Canoe and Kayak coach, and also coaches Archery, Air Rifles, Team Building, Bushcraft, Climbing and Sailing. He has over 20 years experience canoeing and sailing on the broads He has worked with many professional organisations, school groups, adult groups and families. Before returning to Norfolk, he was Head of Canoeing at the UK Sailing Academy, and also runs Sailnorfolk.org, an RYA Training Centre and coaching service based on South Walsham Broad.
Will started kayaking and teaching kayaking at 14 with the scouts but later fell in love with canadian canoeing whilst working in France for a UK Outdoors Activity Company. Will is a level 2 Canoe Coach and is currently working towards his Mountain Leader qualification.
He is a keen mountain biker and regularly takes trips to The Peaks, The Lakes and Wales to enjoy these sports. Will has a strong background in youth work and currently works with young people on a countywide basis as a Youth Volunteer Adviser for a national youth volunteering organisation. He studied Outdoor Recreation Management at university.
Will works for TheCanoeMan leading canoe trips on the Broads including overnight bushcraft trips, otter spotting trails, wild swimming trips, and short day trips. He loves working for the company because... "we have such beautiful and unique countryside and waterways in Norfolk, Canoeing is truly the best way to make the most of these. I love meeting new people and seeing their canoeing/bushcraft skills and passions for the outdoors grow as the days go on."
Jaz is "Mrs TheCanoeMan" and is regularly spotted on trails at the weekends when she has time off from her day job at the University of East Anglia.
Jaz comes from an Venture Scout background and has 20 years experience canoeing, kayaking and leading expeditions. She is an aspirant level 5 coach and is one of the leading female canoe paddlers in the country.
Jaz is very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna of the Norfolk Broads. Her family has a long history and connection with the Norfolk Broads, here Great Grandfather being the last working wherryman on the Albion.
Kerry is TheCanoeMan's PA, office manager and the "kingpin" of the business. If anybody needs to know anything about what is going on, Kerry is the one to talk to! Her commitment is second to none and as well as "running" TheCanoeMan she manages to juggle her lovely family of 3 children. Kerry has a great love for nature and enjoys outdoor activities. She gets stuck in at the first opportunity and has paddled some exciting white water whilst on team trips.
Kerry is always cheerful, and always pleased to help out where she can. Her only flaw is her really bad joke telling!
Martyn began a long interest in the outdoors by enrolling on the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme while still at school. He persevered through several years to eventually succeed in earning the Gold Award. Following this he moved on to the D of E Centre in Norwich teaching expedition skills. Next followed several years assisting with a youth centre taking groups away to wild country on camping, rock climbing and abseiling weekends.
"Epic Mick" is a fully qualified Canoe Coach, Archery Leader, Air Rifle Shooting Instructor and is also First Aid Trained.
Mick has lived and worked in Norfolk all his life. He is currently a self-employed, fully trained carpenter and window fitter. In his spare time Mick enjoys knife making, air rifle/shot gun shooting, kayaking/canoeing, being a Scout Leader and all aspects of outdoor pursuits including hill walking, camping, bushcraft, survival camps and backwards cooking. Mick runs many of the Bushcraft Canoe Trails, Swallows & Amazons Days and Canoe Trails.
Sam is currently at Glamorgan University studying Natural History. On her holidays she works in TheCanoeMan shop taking bookings, talking to customers and can be your first point of contact!
Sam enjoys kayaking, bird watching, synchronised swimming and eating chocolate in her spare time.
Simon has been into bushcraft from a young age and has grown up in and around nature. He spends every free minute he has either paddling the rivers or exploring the local woodlands.
Simon holds a number of qualifications. He is a BCU Level One coach, GNAS Archery leader, NSRA rifle instructor and is currently senior Bushcraft Instructor for TheCanoeMan School of Wilderness and survival. He also holds certificates in child protection, first aid and holds a current CRB certificate (DBS).
Simon says "I've always loved being outdoors and enjoying nature. Nothing beats the feeling of freedom. It's great that I have the opportunity to pass on my knowledge to others. My favourite aspect of bushcraft is teaching the bow drill method of fire lighting because it gives great satisfaction to everyone involved and helps keep a part of our ancestral knowledge alive".
Tony runs TheCanoeMan yard and will collect you in one of our mini buses and take you to your paddling destination. He will help you with any questions you may have so feel free to ask!
George has enjoyed canoeing and kayaking for many years! He can be found helping on our guided canoe trails and driving the mini buses.
Aaron is one of our bushcraft instructors. His day job as a tree surgeon makes him very knowledgable in the woods!
We also use other specialist instructors from time to time.

Avril Lavigne's Lesbian Kiss Over a Dead Dog

Avril Lavigne went off the radar after several badly charting songs in the UK singles charts. She is back and about to release her second single from her self-titled fifth album, Avril Lavigne.
Her new song 'Rock N Roll' might not be a stand-out song, but her video definitely is, although maybe not for all the right reasons.
If you can ignore lyrics like "I don't care if I'm a misfit, I like it better than the hipster of all shit" then carry on and watch Avril's new video, released 20th August 2013.
The video directed by Chris Marrs Piliero nerds out in a comic book style. This style is similar to Eminem's 'Without Me' from back in 2002. Featuring a lot of comedy and outrageously awful jokes.
The opening scene plugs the waterproof Sony Xperia Z, product placement at its finest. After Avril's awful acting and nostalgic 'Sk8er Boi' phone call, the action kicks off.
A lobster is thrown into battle, literally thrown, with a knife. If you were hoping for a dramatic fight scene, unfortunately the lobster is quickly defeated.
An epic car chase is then cut short when the dog crashes the car after apparently driving whilst intoxicated, (let this be a lesson learned). It is then over the dead dog's body Lavigne has her lesbian kiss.
Danica McKellar plays the recipient to Avril's sweet lady kisses. She seems to be famous for writing some books and being on a TV Show called The Wonder Years.
The kiss lacks the raunchiness of Perry, the shock value of Madonna/Britney and it is confusing whether or not she is showing that she accepts lesbians or just wants to be outrageous.
Tying in with Discovery Channel's Shark Week, Avril then battles a bearshark with her guitar saw. The bearshark is beheaded and the video is over.
Avril wears studded camo gear and what seems to be a fanny pack. "Oh! – Hope, a fanny pack, never OK." – Mean Girls 2
Eye-shadow a-plenty, pink streaks in her hair and matching shocking pink war paint, Avril has never been much of a fashion icon.
It might not make much sense and it may seem like a waste of five minutes of your time, but Avril manages to pull off teenage attitude despite being 28.
Here's to never growing up. Pun intended.
'Rock N Roll' is out on August 27th in the US.

Dionizy, imię świeckie Damjan Petrović (ur. 1858 w Bosanskiej Gradišce, zm. 7 grudnia 1900 w Skopje) – serbski biskup prawosławny.

Życiorys
Urodził się w prawosławnej serbskiej rodzinie Ostoji i Mariji. Ukończył szkołę teologiczną w Belgradzie, tam też w 1878 r. został postrzyżony na mnicha. 18 grudnia 1878 r. w soborze św. Michała Archanioła w Belgradzie został wyświęcony na hieromnicha. Od 1883 do 1886 r. służył w eparchii zwornickiej. W 1889 r. dzięki stypendium rządu serbskiego wyjechał na studia do akademii teologicznej Patriarchatu Konstantynopolitańskiego na Chalki. Patriarcha Konstantynopola nadał mu została godność archimandryty. Został skierowany do pracy duszpasterskiej w eparchii skopijskiej, jednak zanim ją realnie podjął, otrzymał nominację na metropolitę raszko-prizreńskiego. Jego chirotonia biskupia odbyła się w katedrze św. Jerzego w Konstantynopolu 25 stycznia 1896 r., pod przewodnictwem patriarchy Antyma VII.

Dionizy był pierwszym od kilku dekad biskupem pochodzenia serbskiego na katedrze raszko-prizreńskiej. Jego nominacja była m.in. efektem zabiegów króla serbskiego Aleksandra I u sułtana Abdulhamida II i patriarchy konstantynopolitańskiego Neofita (sprawującego urząd w latach 1891–1894). Przybycie Dionizego do Kosowa zostało przyjęte z ogromną radością przez miejscową ludność serbską. Dionizy wielokrotnie występował przed miejscowymi władzami tureckimi jako obrońca Serbów w konfliktach z ludnością albańską, działał na rzecz rozwoju cerkiewnej oświaty. Był jednak słabego zdrowia i zmarł po czterech lata na urzędzie, podczas leczenia, na które wyjechał do Skopje. Na własną prośbę został pochowany w monasterze Gračanica.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Sophomore Katie Benzan and junior Madeline Raster each tallied 11 points, but Virginia (3-3) edged the Harvard women's basketball team (3-3), 50-48, Saturday at John Paul Jones Arena in the first game of the Cavalier Classic.
The opening 20 minutes of action was an exhibition in stringent defense. The score was even at 7-7 at the conclusion of the first quarter and stood at 23-20 in favor of Virginia at the half.
The Crimson defense hounded the Cavaliers in the opening frame, limiting the home team to just 13 percent shooting (2-of-15). The pressure continued into the second period, as Virginia was just successful on just 7 of its 35 total attempts in the first half and made just 1-of-11 3-point field goal attempts. Conversely, Benzan hit a pair of triples for the Crimson, including one in the final minute of the second quarter.
Harvard's offense came alive late in the third quarter. Using a 13-0 run over the final 3:52 of the period, the Crimson swung the scoreboard in its favor, 37-30. Junior Madeline Raster paced the charge with seven points in the quarter and Harvard made Virginia pay for putting them on the line, making all six of its attempts.
Momentum shifted to the Cavaliers in the final quarter. Using a 9-0 run over the last 3:44 of the contest, Virginia was able to come away with a 50-48 victory.
Harvard Highlights:
- The 50 points allowed was the lowest total for the Crimson since holding Boston University to 52 last November.
- Harvard limited Virginia from the field, allowing them to convert at just a 25.8 percent clip. It was an opponent's lowest shooting percentage since NJIT shot 25.5 percent Dec. 4, 2016.
- Madeline Raster and Katie Benzan led the team with 11 points each.
- Harvard is 0-2 all-time against Virginia.
- The loss snaps a three-game win streak for the Crimson. Harvard is 3-3 on the year.
Harvard returns to John Paul Jones Arena Sunday at 1 p.m., facing North Carolina A&T in its final matchup of the Cavalier Classic.

Nettime is an internet mailing list proposed in 1995 by Geert Lovink and Pit Schultz (then half-jokingly called "the nettime brothers") at the second meeting of the "Medien Zentral Kommittee" during the Venice Biennale. Since 1998, Ted Byfield and Felix Stalder have moderated the main list, coordinated moderation of other lists in the nettime "family," and maintained the site as their nexus.

The name nettime was chosen as a statement against space metaphors such as cyberspace, dominant at the time.

The time of nettime is a social time, it is subjective and intensive, with condensation and extractions, segmented by social events like conferences and little meetings, and text gatherings for export into the paper world. Most people still like to read a text printed on wooden paper, more than transmitted via waves of light. Nettime is not the same time like geotime, or the time clocks go. Everyone who programs or often sits in front of a screen knows about the phenomena of being out of time, time on the net consists of different speeds, computers, humans, software, bandwidth, the only way to see a continuity of time on the net is to see it as a asynchronous network of synchronized time zones.

Nettime has been widely recognized for its seminal role stimulating and disseminating ideas about Netzkritik or Net Critique, net.art, and tactical media and pioneered practices such as "collaborative filtering". For example, in 2004 nettime was nominated for an Ars Electronica Golden Nica award. However, the moderators refuse to speak or act as representatives of an organization, preferring instead to serve inasmuch as possible as coordinators of a loose or "headless" collective.
The list and related meetings were a strong influence on Bruce Sterling's 1996 science fiction novel Holy Fire.

Initially, it was both part of an early wave of, and served as an inspiration for, a number of related efforts such as Blast (1995–1998), Rhizome (1996–present), Fibreculture (2001–present), Faces-l and -empyre-  (2002–present). Unlike these other efforts, which typically sought to affiliate themselves with institutions in order to become institutionalized, nettime has remained independent — at times fiercely so. Thus, unusually for a mailing list, the family of lists has successfully migrated across a series of hosts — many of them culturally significant in their own right — including in-berlin.de, desk.nl, material.net, thing.net, De Waag kein.org, and bitnik.org.

From the beginning, the aim has been to provide a space for a new form of critical discourse on and with the nets, focussing on longer, substantive, yet non-academic writings and discussions. Nettime served early on as a pre-publishing and discussion platform to give critical thinkers and writers an international reach. Due to its particular political style, it was often seen as a European online salon, even though it had from the beginning strong non-European, mainly North-American participation.

The list, once called "the world's most world list" by Bruce Sterling, has been characterized by pragmatic approach with relatively little change to its format over the years, which has proven to be resilient and durable. The expansive projects of building a web-based platforms, reacting to and generating growing controversies, were unsustainable. The original, mainly English-language mailing list (nettime-l) has spawned several other, more local lists better suited to specific regional and or linguistic contexts, including nettiime-ann (announcements), nettime-fr (French), nettime-lat (Spanish and Portuguese), nettime-nl (Dutch), nettime-ro (Romanian), nettime-see (southeastern Europe), and nettime-zh (Chinese).

Meetings
Additional Nettime meetings were held during events like HackIt, (Amsterdam) the Chaos Computer Congress (Berlin), ISEA, the Ars Electronica Festival (Linz), The MetaForum Conferences (95-96) in Budapest. Nettime's one unique event was the Nettime May Conference - Beauty and the East, organized by Ljudmila (Ljubljana). The Hybrid Workspace drew heavily from Nettime during the Documenta X in Kassel.

Publications
Proceedings of the mailing list were periodically collected in print form, with limited editions of xerox copies and in connection with a related conference or event. In 1999, nettime contributions were anthologized in a book form published by Autonomedia.

William Etty, Artist

William Etty is York's best known artist, his statue has pride of place outside York Art Gallery. He was famous for his paintings of historical and mythical scenes but, in his day, Etty was also infamous for his paintings of nudes.
Etty - a son of York
Etty was born in 1787 in Feasegate in York, his father was a baker and confectioner. He received an average education and had no artistic guidance in his early life. Etty recalls in his autobiography: "My first panels, on which I drew, were the boards of my father's shop floor; my first crayon, a farthing's worth of white chalk".
In 1798, his mother got him an apprenticeship at a busy printers in Hull. Etty clearly had greater ambitions and in 1805 he moved to London to try his luck as an artist.
Etty's life in London
Just two years later, in 1807, Etty became a student at the Royal Academy, the premier training institute for aspiring artists. His uncle also paid for the well established artist, Sir Thomas Lawrence, to take Etty as a pupil for a whole year. Still success did not come easily to Etty and he repeatedly submitted work to the Royal Academy's exhibitions, only to have them rejected. He later wrote of this time: "I began to think I was not half the clever fellow I had imagined".
But he continued to dedicate himself to his studies, indeed he attended life drawing classes throughout his life. Etty wrote: "I worked with such energy and perseverance to conquer my radical defects". The hard work paid off and in 1811 he had his first piece accepted by the Royal Academy. The first of his paintings to receive wider public recognition was 'Cleopatra's Arrival in Cicilia'.
In the 1820's, in his early career, Etty received critical acclaim. An 1826 review for his 'Choice of Paris', described him as having talent that "no artist of the present day can equal". Etty continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy throughout his career but his work was not universally popular. His nudes were a particular source of criticism. A review in the Times newspaper said, "nakedness without purity is offensive and indecent, and in Mr. Etty's canvas is mere dirty flesh". Etty was seen by others as the best English painter of the nude, but he has never become a household name.
Etty's legacy to York
Etty didn't forget his home town. In 1842 he established the York School of Design, which later became the York School of Art. He also played a role in the conservation of the City walls, and the preservation of much of medieval York is sometimes attributed to him. This is something of an exaggeration. Etty did support the preservation of the City walls, and wrote from London in 1825 in defence of Clifford's Tower, but in reality, the walls were saved by public opinion and the actions of certain councillors and key figures within York.
Despite his long absence from the city, Etty was buried in York. His grave is in the yard of St Olave's Church and can be viewed from within the ruins of St Mary's Abbey. Etty's other legacy to York is the substantial collection of his works held by York Art Gallery.
York Art Gallery has the largest collection of Etty's work in the country. › View location

LONDON (CelebrityAccess) — Lady Gaga has reportedly filed a cease and desist order with U.K.-based company The Licktators, manufacturers of breast milk ice cream over the name of one of their products, Royal Baby Gaga.
According to The Mirror, Gaga is seeking to have the company remove her name from their products within 14 days, or face legal sanction, believing that consumers may mistake the use of her name to suggest that the ice cream is an official Lady Gaga product.
Licktators' "General Custard" Nadine O'Connor told The Telegraph that their limited-edition, breast-milk ice cream "neither names nor features Lady Gaga, nor are her trademarks infringed."
She added: "We will not be bullied into removing content from social media relating to our product and subsequent media coverage.

A former IBM exec now at the cutting edge of computing at Quantum Brilliance shares his insights on the future of the sector
News » News & Analysis » A former IBM exec now at the cutting edge of computing at Quantum Brilliance shares his insights on the future of the sector
Quantum Brilliance's Mark Mattingley-Scott
Mark Mattingley-Scott is a former 31-year IBM executive, who in September this year joined the Canberra-based quantum computing startup Quantum Brilliance.
Germany-based Mattingley-Scott is general manager, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) for Quantum Brilliance, which plans to miniaturise quantum computers for desktop and mobile applications.
It's been a massive year for the quantum tech sector, with Australia among the global leaders in the space. A 2020 report from the CSIRO said the quantum technology sector could be worth more than $4 billion annually and create 16,000 jobs by 2040. In November the Morrison government ramped up its quantum computing focus with $70 million commercialisation hub. Alongside that, Australia and the United States have signed a joint statement to cooperate on quantum technology innovation and commercialisation and there's also a National Quantum Strategy led by Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley.
Meanwhile, the NSW government has launched a quantum startup hub at its Tech Central innovation hub in Sydney.
The local sector has also seen tens of millions of dollars in venture capital flow into quantum startups, including $13 million in seed funding for Quantum Brilliance
With so much happened, we caught up with Mattingley-Scott for his take on the state of play for the quantum sector.
Here's what he said.
Looking at the year in quantum tech, what were its most significant accomplishments?
Mark Mattingley-Scott: There are two aspects to this – individual milestones by industry players, and the progress of the entire industry.
I think the accomplishments in the performance of almost all of the qubit technologies has been impressive, and is a clear indication of the building momentum in the industry.
Growth of the industry as a whole has outstripped all innovative technologies that have gone before.
Even factoring in the hype that always accompanies innovative technologies, this growth shows more clearly than anything else how fundamentally transformational quantum computing will be over the coming years.
This is pathfinding science, so how did quantum computing industry address its biggest challenges?
MMS: I think the biggest challenge was the one we are all facing – how we as a species have addressed the challenges of a global pandemic, and all the facets and impact that has brought with it.
Our response to Covid has demonstrated in a very tangible way the power and importance of science and a reasoned discourse. The global economy in general and deep tech specifically, will benefit greatly from this.
For the quantum industry, there is also a strong geopolitical dimension, with quantum computing rightly being strategically important. Quantum computing has built momentum, and it is now beginning to deliver on the promise of its utility in the real world.
What did Quantum Brilliance achieve in 2021?
MMS: We crushed our milestones – showed that diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits [a qubit is the basic unit of quantum information – its version of a classical bit] are a viable technology, appointed a top industry veteran to lead our German operations and began building the team in our new European headquarters in Stuttgart.
We rolled out our hardware to our first customer, and we successfully completed a key funding round to the tune of $13 million.
What were the key challenges for the startup?
MMS: Key challenges included running a deep tech organisation in a pandemic from both the people point of view, and of course the supply chain challenges which are being felt by everyone. But we pulled together, the team stepped up, and our partners went the extra mile to make sure we got to where we needed to be.
What factors do you believe will spur overall industry growth in 2022?
MMS: I think we will begin to see consolidation of some of the quantum computing technologies, and a realisation of the very experimental nature of some of them.
In contrast, I also expect to see a small number of players getting closer to a measurable economic benefit.
What do you see as impediments to industry growth next year?
MMS: The global crisis brought on by Covid overshadows everything else, at least at the moment.
Getting access to the right people is going to remain a major challenge for the industry.
For the individual technologies, I think that questions of transparency in costs, and the timescales for measurable business benefit will come into focus, and I suspect that by the end of '22 we will see a more direct and down-to-earth discussion about the best way to take the first steps on the path that will dominate the industry.
What technology breakthroughs/innovations do you expect in 2022?
MMS: Diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers will be the breakthrough. Closely linked to a discussion on specific economic aspects of the different qubit technologies, we will see some winners and losers, or at least a shift in the market makers and market followers in '22.
Quantum supercomputers in the cloud will gravitate towards the niche market that they represent, and smaller, more portable and more easily integrated technologies will start to make inroads into the HPC/data center.
By the end of '22 I think the path to quantum utility will be clear, and as an industry we will be focusing much more on implementing, and less on research experiments.
And Quantum Brilliance's outlook for the year ahead?
MMS: Going into 2022, we are happy to say that we have a lot to do, and plenty of customers to work with.
On the grant side the situation is very good, and our main focus will be on excelling in making our stakeholders and customers happy.
On the commercial side, the interest in quantum computing technologies in general is reflected in our numerous conversations and considerable interest with commercial customers.
What will drive the company's growth in 2022?
MMS: I think there are two aspects – first off, leveraging the significant funding opportunities that have been and almost certainly will be made by friendly governments around the world. This is key to ensure that quantum computing in general and Quantum Brilliance in particular benefit from, and in future also drive, funding opportunities.
Secondly, we see a massive demand for room temperature quantum computing, especially considering that customers can install and run our SDK in their own compute centre without the need for cloud access.
Low opex and direct hardware access make Quantum Brilliance's quantum computers a must have in the HPC and industry hyperscale markets.

Troy council passes levy increase under 5%, police seek to help vets in crisis
By Editor | November 29, 2022 | 0
By Devese "Dee" Ursery
news@timestribunenews.com
The city of Troy will increase its tax levy by about 4.9%, just under the threshold to trigger a Truth in Taxation hearing, but the actual amount involved is relatively small compared to the overall budget.
Unlike some taxing entities, the city has multiple revenue streams and is not dependent on levies to garner the bulk of its funds. City officials said the 4.9% increase equates to about $85,000. The tax levy in 2021 was $1,715,500 and in 2022 will be $1,800,500, as passed by ordinance at the meeting.
Also related to taxation, the city will abate a tax to fund a $10,000,000 bond for improvements to the water system issued in 2016. Revenues from the water department paid for the bond payments and the tax is not needed in the upcoming budget.
Police Chief Brent Shownes, in his monthly activity report for October, showed the police department handled 1,399 incidents. That is up 256 incidents during this same time last year. The police department made 382 traffic stops resulting in 226 citations, collecting $1,239 in fines and fees.
Shownes also reported that on Saturday night an altercation broke out between two juvenile groups at Spin City. A knife was pulled on one teen and Troy police took into custody and petitioned the offending teen, which is standard procedure for juveniles.
"Adults are arrested and juveniles are petitioned," he said.
Before turning it over to Officer Tony Luther, Shownes thanked Troy residents and businesses for their many donations for this year's Shop with Cop program. Shop with a Cop is an annual event where local law enforcement assist in taking children shopping for Christmas presents.
Luther, who has taught crisis intervention for the Troy Police Department for the past 12 years. spoke of a new initiative that the police department has started which tries to build a rapport with veterans dealing with some life issues. Operation Warfighters came about this past summer while responding to a mental health call involving a veteran suffering with PTSD. He was paranoid and did not want to talk to the police.
"We had enough to take him in as an involuntary admission, but we wanted to let him know that we were there to help, not hurt him," Luther said. "It took nearly three hours talking to him, trying to gain his confidence and trust. In the end, he was given a summons and the situation was handled without incident."
Operation Warfighter, No One Fights Alone is a two-pronged program. The first prong involves a mentorship program. This would be a list of veterans that would be available to talk and mentor veterans in crisis. Officers in the field would call the station and then get transferred to a mentor
There is currently a list of veterans that are ready and willing to talk or just lend an ear to a fellow veteran that may be in crisis.
"The idea is that when we're on a mental health call or any kind of call involving a veteran, help is a phone call away," Luther said. "The police department would be the liaison between the mentors and veterans in need. Sometimes on the street as police officers it's hard for us to build a rapport with the veterans, especially those who were deployed because we don't know what they have been through."
It doesn't take away from the arrest factor, he said. If a crime is committed the officers hands are tied.
The second prong to this program are the business cards. The police department has business cards that they would pass out to veterans that they engage with in the field. On the front of the cards are the logos of the Troy police Department and local VFW Post 976. On the back, a QR code loaded with the phone numbers of all sorts of resources for the veterans.
Luther said the idea of the QR code is that it can be updated without any interruption.
If new resources arise they are simply added to the list and the list updated.
The future of the Operation Warfighters program is limitless with the option and ease of updating the mentor and resource list. The next plan is to meet with the Vietnam Veterans Club, present it to them, and see if any of them would like to join the mentor list, according to Luther.
Councilman Sam Italiano volunteered to be a part of the Vietnam veteran mentorship list, on the spot.
"As far as law enforcement, we just want to be the liaison to getting them the help that they need and deserve," Luther said.
In other news from the meeting, Mayor David Nonn announced that Frieden's Church is having its first annual Festival of Trees on Dec. 2-4. All proceeds will go to the Triad Strong Club.
Triad Strong is a new organization created for the Triad School District committed to providing help to students, staff, and families in the school district in times of difficulty.
A new deputy clerk was appointed by the city council. Heather Klueter, the current administrative assistant clerk, will take on deputy clerk duties as well. She started that post on Nov. 21. Her duties will include permitting solicitors, and licensing video gaming terminals.
Reports from last Wednesday's Madison County Board meeting show a grant was passed to fund the roundabout project at 162 and Old Troy Road. There is currently no timeline for when the project will begin. County Engineer Adam Walden is trying to lock up dates with the Lochmueller Group and he will let the Board know as soon as possible, city officials said.
Jay Keeven, city administrator, reported that revenues are still coming in strong for the month of October, with a balance of over $5 million in the city's General Fund, alone. He also reported that there were a few surprises with water and sewer, but those funds are still good as well.
"Financially, we are in pretty good shape," Keeven said.


Hopscotch is a fast casual eatery whose aim is to make healthy food a hop, skip and a jump away from your usual routine. It's located in the PATH below Scotia Plaza, making it an easy choice for urban commuters and upstairs workers alike.
The brainchild of a business project at Western University, Hopscotch was developed by brothers Aiden and Wyatt Booth who realized there was an extreme dearth of options for people who just wanted quick options that were convenient and ethical.
There's no real seating to speak of, but major points for the hopscotch outline painted on the floor. Salads, wraps and bowls are assembled Chipotle-style right in front of you.
However, you won't find a soda fountain here: instead, a glistening espresso machine is behind the cash serving Hale Coffee. Genuine Tea is on offer too.
Early morning commuters and office workers are sure to be pumped about the breakfast options here. This parfait-like pretty little breakfast bowl rings in at just $6 for yogurt, grapes, apple, grape jelly, mint, and a nut crumble.
The wild oat berry smoothie would make another great $6 breakfast option: it certainly tastes healthy with the chunky inclusion of fibrous oat. It also has honey, mixed berries, muesli and banana, and is dairy-free.
For a salad we try The Great Gusto ($12). Fool yourself into eating healthy by just pretending you're tucking into a big ol' burrito, and you probably won't even notice a difference. This has a ton of chicken, chopped romaine, mesclun, tomato salsa, cabbage, red pepper, goat cheese and crispy chick peas.
Salads and bowls come with two dressings on the side, which is great: dressing is the best part anyway. I try the gochujang mayo and sesame ginger vinaigrette, while the Sweet Potato Zen bowl ($12) comes with the latter and bright lime crema.
The bulk of the dish is tofu and sweet potato over quinoa, and if you're down with the raw veggies, you'll love all the cauliflower and broccoli, and it's also got kale and edamame. Bread and salad shouldn't be mortal enemies, so salads and bowls come with a slice of Ace bread.
We get the Avocado Cobber ($13.50) wrapped up, basically a Cobb salad with chicken, bacon, egg, avocado and blue cheese, and this one has a maple-balsamic vinaigrette and a cucumber-yogurt sauce.
The whole outfit is bedecked in a cheerful shade of green, and fun motivational phrases are tacked to the walls, perfect for Instagrammability and selfies.


This past weekend, a few million assholes shelled out $55million to see Jurassic World. As we take the rest of the week off and recall the wonderful movies we've screened so far in 2015, it is hard to believe that people are still spending their $12 to see dinosaurs chew up a bunch of morons. We hope this list inspires you to choose something else at the multi-plex. Thank you for reading. New content will resume on Monday.

Baltimore Catholic colleges ranked in top tier
The three Catholic colleges in the Archdiocese of Baltimore were ranked among the region's best colleges in U.S. News and World Report's annual college rankings.
Loyola College in Maryland maintained its second place rank among northern master's universities. This year it tied for second with Providence College in Rhode Island and Fairfield University in Connecticut.
College of Notre Dame of Maryland and Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg tied for 30th place among northern master's universities, with College of Notre Dame moving up one place and the Mount sliding back five places since last year.
Once again, Villanova University in Pennsylvania was ranked first in the group.
Loyola College was rated as "more selective," and its alumni giving rate was the highest among the top 10 universities in its category. The Mount and College of Notre Dame were both considered "selective."
The rankings are based factors such as on peer assessment, graduation rate, retention rate, student-to-faculty ratio, acceptance rate and average alumni giving rate.

Archbishop Lori's Homily: Epiphany of the Lord


Despite the Administration's successes in this area, however, state legislatures around the country are working overtime to block Trump's antiregulatory agenda. One such effort is happening in my home state of California and concerns the regulation of consumer short-term loans.
Short-term loans are intended to help consumers in a time of need to cover unexpected expenses, such as a car repair or medical emergency. Although some critics say these loans are a bad deal for borrowers, the reality is that millions of consumers use them, often as a necessary means of last resort because they are in a financial bind. This includes those who are financially underserved in our communities, either because they don't have the credit history to open a traditional bank account or they have a low credit score.
Shortly before he left his post, former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Richard Cordray announced new regulations governing these types of loans. Cordray's rule would have been devastating to our economy, potentially cutting off millions of Americans from access to credit options.
However, thanks to the leadership of Cordray's successors, Mick Mulvaney and now the Bureau's permanent director, Kathy Kraninger, the rule has been re-opened for consideration to ensure that the opinions and voices of all stakeholders are carefully considered.
Which brings us back to California.
While I'm sure the bill's authors have good intentions, this legislation is a solution in search of a problem.
AB 539 would seriously impede consumers' ability to access credit, especially in a time of great need. This includes Californians who are either homeless, on the precipice of homelessness or working to get off the streets. The Golden State is home to 134,000 homeless people and many of them not surprisingly are working.
Those in financial need, including the working homeless and those on the brink of homelessness, need access to short-term credit. But government policies like the proposed AB 539 threaten their ability to do so under the false premise that Sacramento knows better what they need than they do.
In a state that is home to the fifth largest economy in the world, as well as life-changing technology and innovation, California should be expanding, not stifling, access to consumer lending most financially vulnerable among us. For that reason, AB 539 should be defeated.
Richard Manning grew up in southern California, attending Norco High School, Riverside City College and the University of Southern California. He currently serves as president of Americans for Limited Government, a group dedicated to restoring constitutionally limited government.

Q: Trying to make a super simple clicker game but im getting NaN instead of numbers I'm really out of ideas, I've tried everything I can try but can't get this simple thing to work.
JavaScript
var gurus = document.getElementById('clicks')
var x = gurus.value+1
function guru() {
  document.getElementById('clicks').innerHTML = x
}

HTML

0

<button onclick='guru()'>Click</button>

I made this in a codepen (link).

A: First of all you need innerHTML not values , since p tag does not have values attribute. Secondly you need to get the content of the p tag on every click, so put it inside the function.  Use parseInt to convert the string to number

var gurus = document.getElementById('clicks')

function guru() {
  var x = parseInt(gurus.innerHTML, 10) + 1
  document.getElementById('clicks').innerHTML = x
}

0

<button onclick='guru()'>Click</button>

A: Below is a clearner way to achieve the same thing youre trying to do. The code below makes use of addEventListener and removes JavaScript function calls from inline HTML (it's not best practice). Make sure to use parseInt to convert the innerHTML as that was your original issue with the code you posted:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const p = document.querySelector('#clicks');
  const b = document.querySelector('#btn');

  p.append(document.createTextNode("0"));

  b.addEventListener('click', function() {
    p.innerHTML = parseInt(p.innerHTML) + 1;
  });
});

<button id="btn">Click</button>

A: And the answer is super simple too! You are treating the
 element as if it was an input field. You need .innerHTML instead of .value. Then, you need to convert that inner HTML into a number (using Number()). Finally, you should move the increment statement:
var x = gurus.value + 1

into the function, otherwise x is just a constant. Here is a working snippet:

  var gurus = document.getElementById('clicks');

function guru() {
  var x = Number(gurus.innerHTML) + 1;
  document.getElementById('clicks').innerHTML = x;
}

0

<button onclick='guru()'>Click</button>


There are some things that can be assumed to be solved forever.
A good relationship with your father can help fight stress. Oh, really? This would have never in one million years have occurred to me. A good relationship with your dad is GOOD.
It never ceases to amaze me some of the things that people spend money to study. And it shall forever boggle my mind to read some of the stuff that passes for NEWS these days. That is probably why Criggo is so funny to me.
Lemme fill y'all in on some (obvious) FACTS.
1. It is terribly difficult to receive a DUI if you do not drink.
2. Abortion kills a human baby.
3. People who go to church regularly commit fewer crimes than those who don't.
4. Raising taxes on corporations only makes things more expensive.
5. Obama is an idiot.
6. The United States of America has the highest standard of living on the planet.
9. Minimally HALF of all people are stupid.
Add your own obvious truisms in the comments.
Libtards are proof of reverse intellectual evolution (aka, dumbed down for those in CA, MA and DC).
It is impossible to get an STD if a couple is monogamous. And, it is impossible to ever consider an abortion if you have a soul.
The most prolific terrorist organization in the world is the CIA.
TD, where do you find these people?
If you are not pissed at both political parties you have NOT been paying attention.
Jon, you are nuts, get help.
Andy, they find me and the statements you posted should never have to be uttered. Why does it continue to be necessary to say those things?
Disgruntled, I actually have not been paying attention this past week. But, dude the e-mails that I keep getting from the GOP are some of the dumbest tripe I have read since Bob Dole was running for president.
Take aim squarely at foot and open fire, the New Republican strategy.
Obama\Clinton in '12 means we are screwed. t will happen as Joe'Gaffetastic' Biden is thrown under the bus.

Q: Symbols: If but not only if I was searching for a Latex symbol that indicates $A \Rightarrow B$ and $A \not\Leftarrow B$ ($B$ if not only if $A$, $B$ ifnf $A$). I thought of using $A \Leftrightarrow B$ with the left arrow tick < crossed out. Since I did not find such a symbol:
Is there a Latex symbol for this?
How common or understandable is this symbol?
If it isn't common: How easily is it confused with the symbol $\not\Leftrightarrow$?

Update:
I need it for a sequence $A$ ifnf $B$ ifnf $C$ ifnf $D$, which I find more understandable than $A \Leftarrow B \Leftarrow C \Leftarrow D$  and $A \not\Rightarrow B \not\Rightarrow C \not\Rightarrow D$.
Of course I will prove both directions.

A: When people assert implications, they often implicitly involve universal quantification.  For example, "if $n$ is a prime number greater than $2$, then $n$ is odd" really means "for all integers $n$, if $\dots$."  When one denies an implication, one includes the universal quantifier in the denial, so it becomes an existential quantifier.  For example, if someone says that "$n$ is odd" doesn't imply "$n$ is a prime number greater than $2$", he normally means to deny that "for all $n$, if $n$ is odd then $n$ is a prime number greater than $2$"; equivalently, he means to assert that "there exists an odd $n$ that is not a prime number greater than $2$." (Recall from propositional logic that the negation of $B\implies A$ is equivalent to $B\land\neg A$.)  So your proposed combined connective, for implication in one direction and denial of implication in the other direction, will implicitly quantify the variables partly with universal quantifiers and partly with existential ones.  This looks to me like a recipe for confusion and therefore well worth avoiding.
If, by good fortune, your statements $A$ and $B$  don't involve variables, so these quantification issues don't arise, then there is a fairly easy answer to your question.  As I said above, the negation of $B\implies A$ is equivalent to $B\land\neg A$.  Furthermore, this formula already implies that $A\implies B$, so
$$
(A\implies B)\land\neg(B\implies A)
$$
is equivalent to $B\land\neg A$.  But remember, this use of propositional logic is legitimate only if your $A$ and $B$ don't involve any variables that are implicitly quantified in your implications.

A: It is doubtful that a symbol exists; I do not believe it is common usage.
Note that your situation is equivalent to "$A$ implies $B$, but $B$ does not imply $A$". There are many, many situations in mathematics when this is the case. For instance:

Independent random variables have zero correleation coefficient, but a zero correlation coefficient does not imply that the random variables are independent.

In fact, the distinction that $A \implies B$ does not imply that $B \implies A$ is so important that it is almost always best addressed with more than a basic symbolic representation. The reader demands to know why the converse does not hold! Examples of situations where the converse does not hold are almost always useful.

A: You need to be careful with this connective (in classical logic) because it doesn't let you play fast and loose with the scope of free variables the way that $\to$ and $\leftrightarrow$ do.
I think using words in your expression is probably the best way to go, since it doesn't require additional context to understand.
$$ \varphi \;\;\text{if but not only if}\;\; \psi $$
If you need a compact notation for a chain of these things, I would recommend using plain $<$, but also call out what you are doing explicitly and give a definition of $<$. Comparison chaining should be intuitive to readers without additional comment.
$$ \varphi_1 < \varphi_2 < \varphi_3 $$
$$ \text{where $\xi$ < $\psi$ if and only if
the values of $\xi$ are a proper subset of the values of $\psi$ } $$
Also, if you can collect the things you are talking about into a class or set, then you can use the notation $\subsetneq$ or proper subset or proper subclass to denote the relationship you are interested in.

Our proud history: An open letter to Mr Becchetti
Dear Mr Becchetti,
I have to confess, when you glided in to your first press conference as the new owner of Leyton Orient Football Club, I liked you.
Francisco Becchetti
With your piercing eyes and your brooding charm, you reminded me a bit of Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
You said that one of the things that attracted you to Orient was our proud history. You also said that you wouldn't put a timescale on the success you craved; that you would be patient. That was sensible. That was nice.
But I'm sorry to say, Mr Becchetti, that recent events have made me question whether all those nice things you said were actually true.
A quick history lesson
Now, I'm very conscious that there are all sorts of rumours and accusations flying around about the exact circumstances that led to Russell Slade's departure last week, but what does seem clear is that at some point around seven games into the season you let it be known that the manager's job was under imminent threat if results were not to improve quickly.
And that really upsets me. Because if – as you said – you truly appreciated Orient's proud history and the DNA of the club you bought, you wouldn't have done that.
After all, it only takes a cursory glance at Leyton Orient: The Complete Record by Neilson N Kaufman, The Centenary Handbook by Neilson N Kaufman or perhaps The Men Who Made Leyton Orient FC by Neilson N Kaufman to understand that – historically speaking – Orient do not kneejerk their managers out of a job at the merest hint of a few mediocre results.
Tommy Taylor, for example, spent five years in the job, despite nearly taking Orient into the Conference twice. As a consequence fans were rewarded with two play-off finals and the opportunity to watch 157 different midfielders in the space of a few seasons.
After securing promotion to League One in 2005/06 Martin Ling looked like he was going to take the club straight back down again for the majority of the following season. But chairman Barry Hearn showed loyalty to the manager, who eventually kept us up then took us to the summit of League One by Christmas 2007.
God knows, even Paul Brush was given two years, despite consistently inciting performances from the very depths of hell and signing Carl Hutchings
He's got no hair...
Which brings me to Russell Slade – the manager you were very fortunate to inherit, Mr Becchetti. This is a man who in his four and a bit seasons with Leyton Orient saved us from relegation once, missed out on the play-offs by one position twice, drew with Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and got us to within one penalty kick of the Championship. All without spending a single penny on transfer fees.
And what you should find particularly interesting is that in-between all that Russell Slade had a shocker of a season in 2011/12. Pretty much any other club would have sacked their manager before Christmas with the same run of results.
But I like to think we're not like pretty much any other club. Barry Hearn had the balls to stick with his man throughout that torrid time – and the rewards were plain to see.
And so to this season. Russell Slade didn't become a bad manager in seven games. In fact – and here's another bit of history for you, Mr Becchetti – the start to the season is entirely consistent with every other one in Slade's managerial career apart from the last. His teams always start appallingly. And then he turns it round. That's his thing.
So, Mr Becchetti, I don't know what would have happened if Russell Slade had stayed in his job. Hell, he'd have probably gone to Cardiff even if you hadn't hung the Sword of Damocles over his head.
But I do know this: the last few weeks have felt pretty unedifying as an Orient fan.
I don't want Orient to feel like any other club. I want success, sure, but not at any price.
I want us to remain a club staffed by decent, honourable people. A club where this year over 200 fans travel to northern France to pay respects at the graves of the three Orient players who lost their lives in the Battle of the Somme. A club where a player who missed a crucial play-off final penalty joins supporters in the bar post-match to apologise and commiserate. A genuine community club.
Which brings me on to ex-CEO Matt Porter. Most importantly, Matt was a fan of Orient. Always was. The fact that you apparently asked him to resign his position on the board and then today contradicted yourself by saying his position was always a "transitional" one (first we've heard of it!) really does make me question whether you truly appreciate who this club is and what it stands for.
And so, a word of advice to you, Mr Becchetti, delivered by way of laborious metaphor (yeah, better get used to that if you're going to carry on reading this blog): You may have the brooding charm of Gary Oldman's Dracula, but that doesn't mean you have to go around ripping out people's throats with your teeth.
Matt xxx

Veteran Journalist AK Jha passes away in Oman
Published On: 04/05/2019 - 12:45 AM By INDIAN AWAAZ
By A Correspondent
Veteran journalist Avadh Kumar Jha passed away on Friday at his son's house in Oman. He was 95, informed his son S S Jha. Though he was a native of Bhagalpur, a district of Bihar, he spent most of his life in Patna.
He was the last editor of India's one of the old newspapers- Aryavart, daily which is however now not in print and circulation.
The editor AK Jha left behind himself a family four sons working in different sectors including media. Jha, who started as a correspondent for 35 rupees monthly, remained associated with journalism for 72 years. In the meantime, he also wrote many books.
AK Jha was not only a journalist but a great social worker, social thinker and prolific writer. He was contemporary of former Prime Minister late Atal Vihari Vajpayee and got an opportunity to work with him.
Dr Birbal Jha, chairman of Mithilalok Foundation described AK Jha's death as a major loss to the world of journalism,
