American Historian, Zionist Thinker
It's great that Israelis aren't politically correct – opinion
New Book: Never Alone
Home The Jerusalem Post It's great that Israelis aren't politically correct – opinion
The Jerusalem Post 12/01/2022
'There will never be too much wokeness here because we are Israeli… Israelis welcome frank talk." I loved hearing that in a recent class with young Israelis. This kibbutz-born Lefty insisted the Israeli character is too blunt, too honest, too sarcastic, too full-of-life, to cancel "thought criminals" or tolerate pious virtue-signaling. The students nodded appreciatively when she defended Omer Adam, whose tongue-in-cheek song "Kakdila," incurred Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli's wrath as anti-Russian and anti-woman. They agreed with Adam, who noting his own Russian roots in the Caucasus Mountains, suggested that Michaeli concentrate on improving public transportation.
I appreciate Israeli openness and directness. I dread seeing political correctness or wokeness imported, especially to inhibit comedy and culture. But after watching last week's legislative circus, I still love that Israelis aren't PC – but this Knesset is ridiculous.
The opposition parties made Worldwide Wrestling matches seem calm. As they rose from their seats, gesticulating rhythmically, shouting "shame, shame," the opposition refused to vote. Likud MK Ofir Akunis posted a clip of himself saying: "All that's missing is for the Israeli flag to be replaced by a Palestinian flag." And still-in-denial-ex-prime-minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who was talked out of boycotting the Knesset by his ultra-Orthodox allies – called passing the law "a dark day for Zionism and democracy."
What could trigger such hysteria? Which bill so threatens Zionism and Israeli identity?
It was a decent, long-overdue, and rather a benign bill, The Electricity Law. Proposed by the coalition's Islamist Ra'am Party, it should connect more than 130,000 Israeli-Arabs to the national grid. The shame involved was watching some elected representatives in our 21st-century Jewish-democratic state behave like thugs, seeking to deprive fellow citizens of basic 20th-century amenities such as light, heat and hot water.
You need not be some liberal "snowflake" to call out their bullying, deeming their overreaction unwarranted and demagogic. You need not be woke to call out their bigoted dog-whistling, repudiating such poisonous anti-Arab fearmongering. And you need not be PC to call out their assault on Zionism, not just decency, deviating from both the open, democratic, equal-rights-oriented Zionism of the Menachem Begin Right and the David Ben-Gurion Left.
All-too-enthusiastically breaking the Right's monopoly on thuggery, Israel's Deputy Economic Affairs Minister Yair Golan called the Homesh settlers protesting Yehuda Dimentman's murder, "subhuman," a term he should have used in the original German – Untermenschen. Unlike Netanyahu, his hyper-partisan predecessor, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett courageously criticized a coalition partner, calling "Golan's words… shocking" and "a blood libel."
WE POLITICAL junkies love the passion of great debates – and the cleverness behind great political insults. For decades, former president Lyndon Johnson's slur dogged Gerald Ford, that Ford was nice enough, "except he played football too long without his helmet." Only his targets would have wanted to muffle Winston Churchill, who mocked the man who displaced him as prime minister by saying "An empty cab pulled up to Downing Street. Clement Attlee got out." And perhaps Israel's most wry quipster prime minister, Golda Meir, mocked Moshe Dayan by snapping: "Don't be so humble, you're not that great."
As a columnist, I want to be able to skewer the still-in-denial-ex-prime-minister who refuses to call Bennett "Mr. Prime Minister" as Bi-bust or Bi-bui (pronounced, French-style, Bib-we, with the "ui" short for "under-indictment"). More informally, I also want to laugh with my friends and my kids at ourselves and at others, acknowledging our differences and collective tics, both as people and as members of distinct peoples. That's why I err on the side of tolerating touchy jokes and rhetorical overkill.
But a healthy democracy still needs to draw some lines.
In his indispensable commentary on Ethics of the Fathers, Sage Advice, Rabbi Yitz Greenberg wisely interprets Mishna 2:9, wherein Rabbi Shimon answered the question "what is the right path," by answering "Ha-roeh et ha-nolad." Greenberg translates those words as "To see what is coming [see beyond the moment]," adding that the ethical challenge involves becoming "aware of the consequence of your actions," anticipating what you might spawn.
Indeed, that was the great failing last week, from Right and Left. Hysterical doomsday predictions dehumanize those who disagree with you, essentially accusing your political rivals of treason. They indulge fleeting frustrations while leaving lasting damage. Living in the moment, demagogues ignore the long-term blows the body politic absorbs from these toxic outbursts.
Legislators must work together the day after. Tomorrow, Golan's former IDF comrades may have to catch another terrorist menacing those settlers in Homesh or elsewhere, just as Bi-bui's rival may need his cooperation in uniting the country against another Hamas or Hezbollah or Iranian threat. A little moderation, some magnanimity, keeps democracies resilient – and ready for looming menaces around the corner.
As a tikkun, a healing, I mischievously – yet sincerely – suggest that these bridge burners learn from a different coalition partner, Ra'am's chief Mansour Abbas. He recently acknowledged that "Israel was born a Jewish state." Those words contradicted his party's 80-page charter which insists "there can be no allegiance to Israel" because Zionism is a "racist, occupying project."
Abbas, however, per Rabbi Shimon, is "seeing what is coming," thinking ahead, and doing what haters can never do: thinking about how to make Jewish-democratic Israel better, a place where all its citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish, can thrive freely, safely, with dignity, in peace and prosperity. That's our leaders' jobs, Left and Right. It's a shame that too many of them keep betraying that mission.

Let's Talk Business: Estil Furnishing
Interview with Darren Lim – Marketing Manager of Estil Furnishing
Darren Lim, a homegrown manufacturer of drapery, soft furnishing and shading systems. He is also the second generation slated to take over this business that was started by his parents in 1989. Over the 28 years, Estil is known for the quality of their products particularly in the commercial property sector.
In the 2 short years he joined his parents' company, Darren made simple changes using essential technology solutions, and made significant improvements to the business revenue, processes and operations. He shares with us some insights into the journey.
What were some motivations for joining the family business?
I initially wanted to experience the corporate world, but as I was looking, I realized I already had relevant work skills to help out in the family business as I had run my own business while in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Hence I understood the struggles, ins and outs of business.
At the time, Estil Furnishing was not doing too well, there were very little sales and enquiries, so I decided to put whatever skillsets I had into helping my parents first. Seeing them stressed about their business and livelihood motivated me to want to help alleviate the pressure and grow the business.
What difficulties did you face in trying to convince the older generation to digitalise?
I think that everyone that wants to change will face an initial resistance. My parents did not understand why they should change, or why they should spend a sum of money on something they didn't believe in.
I soon understood that this was because of cash flow problems. If you could not afford to support the monthly salary of your staff, how would you be able to spend on digitalizing? A lot of SMEs in Singapore adopt a reactive, fire-fighting stance towards business. When times are good, the business owners enjoy the success, but few have contingencies for rainy days.
So how did you overcome this resistance?
You overcome the resistance by giving the older generation a taste of what's out there. I started by introducing my parents to Google Drive. The idea of using Google Drive or Dropbox didn't come as naturally to them as they did for me and my peers, but when my parents saw the convenience of using Google Drive, it helped our productivity.
Initially when clients made enquiries, we would need to scan images one by one from a physical catalog, before emailing it to the client. I then helped them redesign their product catalog into a digital format, making it consistent, and then uploaded it onto Google Drive, which gave them instant access to all their product information. This greatly simplified the work process. So giving the older generation a taste of what tech can achieve, will help them open up more to the idea.
What convinced you to digitalize/ implement tech solutions in your business?
I see myself as an effective worker, I do not like to waste time. So I'm attracted to any process that allows for unnecessary work to be cut out. In my family business there were too many workflow inefficiencies that relied heavily on pen and paper, which was what drove me to implement some form of tech solutions.
What were some of the tech solutions that you implemented? And how did they raise the profile of your business?
I think the most basic thing was to update our website and social media presence. Though this was a no brainer for me, it was something completely new for my parents. Furthermore, it's not only about building a website, but also using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to make sure that we were visible online.
Another challenge was that my parents were not willing to trust a hired salesperson with the business contacts and tricks of the trade, given that Singapore is so small. So I managed to convince them to engage a 'digital salesman', which was our website. I worked out the sums, and the amount they would need to create and maintain the website – and do digital marketing – was cheaper than hiring a full-time worker. After SEO and SEM, there was a large, noticeable improvement in the number of enquiries and clients that we got, so I think employing this strategy was a simple first step that paid off.
Should SMEs digitalize? Why?
I don't think it's a question of should SMEs digitalize anymore. Simply put, SMEs MUST digitalize. Ten years ago, the answer to this question might have been different. Mobile technology and the internet was still relatively unproven, and traditional processes still worked. But the rate at which technology is changing and disrupting business is too fast for SMEs to ignore. SMEs must start implementing tech solutions, at least at the basic level with a website or social media presence. "Everyone is impatient now, and if you are unwilling to change, the world simply will not wait for you."

Constructing success through trials
Construction is not the first industry that comes to mind when discussing digitalisation. After all, it is impossible to virtually bulldoze a building no matter how advanced technology gets. Yet, for one construction management company, digitalisation is key and their decision to embark on it is deliberate.
In the Hot Seat: Rachel Lim, Co-Founder of Love, Bonito
When it comes to running a business, many business owners may view the adoption of new technologies as a daunting initiative.

Dressed For Success: RuPaul Wins VH1 'Drag Race' Renewals
by Adam Buckman , Featured Columnist, August 21, 2019
Another day, another photo of a man in a dress.
Yesterday it was Louie Anderson in "Baskets." Today it is RuPaul, for a blog about his reality shows "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars." VH1 just renewed both of them -- "Drag Race" for a 12th season, and "All Stars" for its fifth.
The renewals are good news because these shows have been among TV's most entertaining spectacles ever since the first season of "Drag Race" premiered in February 2009.
It was seen for its first eight seasons on the gay-oriented Logo channel. But the show became so popular that Viacom moved it in 2017 to VH1, where it has been seen ever since.
Though they are both wearing dresses in our consecutive-day photos, Louie Anderson as Christine Baskets and RuPaul in drag-queen costume are as different as night and day.
Anderson is a male actor playing a woman. He is not a transgender man. RuPaul is also a man (RuPaul Charles) who has made a career -- and by all appearances, a substantial living -- working in the entertainment form known as drag.
As far as the TV Blog can determine, RuPaul does not identify as a woman, as many (if not all) transgender men do (especially celebrity ones). As fans of his reality-competition shows know well, Ru appears frequently on the show in finely tailored men's suits. And few men look better in a suit than he does.
The TV Blog can attest to this, having met a very gentlemanly RuPaul in 2016 at an upfront presentation for the Game Show Network. If memory serves, Ru was wearing an impeccably fitted suit of red gingham. On just about anyone else, this suit would have looked like an altered tablecloth from last weekend's picnic. But not on RuPaul. No siree, Bob.
Not too long ago, RuPaul explained the ins and outs of drag costuming and performing on a talk show (he was wearing a men's suit at the time). He explained that "drag" is not the same as cross-dressing or transgender dressing. And it does not necessarily have anything to do with transgender identification either.
He pointed out something that should have been obvious, but had previously eluded the TV Blog: The personas of female entertainers that the drag performers assume and then showcase on "Drag Race" are not characterizations of "real women" at all.
Instead, the characters they create are wholly exaggerated and satirical. To RuPaul, who is nothing if not an expert on the art and craft of drag illusion, these characters can hardly even be classified as "women" in the traditional sense.
On this talk show, I remember that he posed this rhetorical question (paraphrased from memory): "What women does anyone know who actually dress like this?" The answer is none.
One of the great joys of RuPaul's "Drag Race" shows is that he tends to treat the whole thing in two conflicting ways -- as a deadly serious competition and at the same time, as a big comedic joke. In his dual roles as host and chief judge, RuPaul might now be TV's reigning master showman.

After seeing a demonstration of the existence of a true omni-directional light on youtube I spent some time messing around and trying to re-create it. After a few hours of trial and error and a heavy dosage of help on the official SFM discussion board I got it working.
BIG CAVEAT: It's 6 lights parented to each other. Heavy price in the shadow department.
What this means is that you cannot have more than one group of these with full shadows. You can certainly load up your scene with a bunch, but we're still limited to 9 shadowed lights.
In order to use this, just load up the session and then choose a different map and import models as normal.
Since these are 6 independent lights it means that any tweaks need to be made individually to the each 6. And you definitely want them to be identical unless you have a very specific reason not to.
To create more than one group simply copy the whole group of 6 animation sets and parent the five "non-handle" lights to the one parent and pose that.
To Install simply unzip in your usermod folder.
The session goes in the usermod/sessions folder. It comes with a single material under usermod/materials/Aliassfm/MiscVMT which is the gobo that's used to remove the seams.
This sounds pretty neat and quite useful... though the amount of lights needed does limit it's usability a bit. Will this get updated if someone gets the two light setup working? From the comments it sounds like the uploader was getting close?
@BraveDownpour I did get it working, but it's not worth anything. The shadow angles are based on the angle of the light, so at 179.99999 degrees the shadows are invisible. It's pretty easy to try it yourself. Create two lights, exactly 180 degrees in any rotation from each other. Set the FOV on each to 179.9999 and you're done. @sabi123456 They should be doing something. There are six for six sides of a square. Think like a die. The 4 and 5 are the top and bottom IIRC.

Trump Picked Rigth Wing Hard-Liner David Friedman As AMB To Israel
by mar • December 16th 2016
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named far-right Israel supporter David Friedman as his pick for U.S. ambassador to Israel, a move that angered liberal U.S. Jewish groups. In a statement announcing his decision, Trump said he was confident Friedman would "maintain the special relationship between our two countries." Friedman, a Long Island bankruptcy lawyer who has no previous diplomatic experience, has previously likened liberal American Jews to Jews who helped the Nazis during the Holocaust and advocated for Israel to annex the West Bank and expand Jewish settlements there. In accepting the offer, Friedman said he was "deeply honored and humbled" by the decision and then added that he looked forward to working in the "U.S. embassy in Israel's eternal capital, Jerusalem"—hinting that Trump would relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv, a provocative move that would exacerbate tensions with Palestine and the Muslim world. The nomination of Friedman was condemned as "reckless" by J Street, a liberal Israel advocacy group. The nomination puts "America's reputation in the region and credibility in the world at risk," the group said in a statement. "Senators should know that the majority of Jewish Americans oppose the views and values this nominee represents."

In the early 1960s, Deborah Hay trained with Mia Slavenska and Merce Cunningham. In 1964, Hay participated in an international tour with the Cunningham Dance Company. She then joined the Judson Dance Theater as performer and choreographer. Along with her collaborators, she attempted to blur the line traditionally separating trained and untrained dancers.
In 1970, Hay left New York to live in Vermont. During this period, her works were no longer presented to the public. Her observations during annual group workshops were distilled into solo dances, now her preferred type of choreography. In 2000, she choreographed a duet for herself and Mikhail Baryshnikov, which toured with the Past/Forward project, a series of performances updating the choreographic scores of the Judson Group Theater, among others. Hay also creates new group choreographies based on the reinterpretation of her solo dances by several different performers.
In Solo, Hay makes a deliberate refusal to subject the music, objects, lights, dancers, and costumes to a hierarchical system. 9 Evenings was an opportunity to delve more deeply into this way of thinking about movement, and her work with the event's engineers was concentrated mainly on developing remote-controlled carts.

HomeSuper LeaguePlatt backs Jeffries return
Platt backs Jeffries return
11th May 2011 James Gordon Super League 0
Bradford full-back Michael Platt has backed the return of half-back Ben Jeffries and has urged the club's supporters to give him a chance.
Jeffries, 30, played for the Bulls in 2008 and 2009, making 46 appearances, before returning to Wakefield, his first English club, at the beginning of 2010.
In a surprise move at the weekend, the Australian signed an 18-month deal to return to Odsal.
Commenting on the move on his blog on the official Bradford website, Platt says that the changed expectations amongst the club's supporters should help Jeffries settle in second time around.
Platt said: "I am really pleased he is back with us, and I thought he played well when he was here before.
"He got a bit of stick in some quarters but I thought he was one of our better players when he was on the field.
"It was the time when the supporters were still expecting the club to be in the final every year and that was realistically never going to happen and some of the players who came in were blamed somewhat for that.
"He is a quality player and I feel we need another organiser, and he will bring that to the party."
Jeffries, who played in the NRL for St George and Wests, is now in his tenth season in Super League, having joined Wakefield during the 2002 season.
He made 143 appearances for the Wildcats in his first spell at the club, before moving on to Bradford for the 2008 season.

Three Things We Learned from Week 5 of the CFL
Jonas Jacobson
The Stampeders are the real deal (and the Elks just can't figure it out)
Thursday's game was an absolute demolition, with the Calgary Stampeders defeating the Edmonton Elks by a score of 49-6.
The Elks kept in close the first quarter before the Stampeders put them away, going on a 46-3 run in the rest of the game. The Stampeders had many ways in which they scored: field goals, a safety, 89-yard touchdown pass, a missed field goal returned for a touchdown, a defensive touchdown and many more offensive touchdowns.
Game Recap!

— Calgary Stampeders (@calstampeders) July 8, 2022
The Stampeders' big three of Bo Levi Mitchell, Ka'Deem Carey and Malik Henry looked dominant. Mitchell completed 77% of his passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns. One of Mitchell's touchdowns was to Malik Henry who finished the game with 6 catches and 150 yards, as Ka'Deem Carey ran all over the Elks with 104 yards on 12 carries.
Edmonton looks completely lost, as they have been outscored by a combined 100 points in their first 5 games. Calgary looks to build off their win and put their undefeated record to the test against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers next week, while the Elks face the Montreal Alouettes.
Roughriders up for the fight
The Ottawa Redblacks have played decent football this year but just can't get over the line.
On Friday, the Roughriders beat the Redblacks by a score of 28-13 due to Cody Fajardo's strong play and by limiting their mistakes. The Roughriders didn't have a single turnover and only had four penalties for 35 yards during the game.
It was a balanced win #ByTheNumbers | @SportSelect pic.twitter.com/5kHxLeDauG
— Saskatchewan Roughriders (@sskroughriders) July 9, 2022
On the other hand, the Redblacks committed three turnovers and were charged with eight penalties for 75 yards. The Roughriders continued to have explosive plays, as Frankie Hickson ran for a 63-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Saskatchewan takes on the Toronto Argonauts next week, with the Redblacks facing the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Blue Bombers continue to take care of business
The Blue Bombers were in control of this game from the get-go, returning the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown.
They followed up their great start by scoring on three straight drives and putting the BC Lions in a 24-0 hole in the second quarter.
The Lions did not go away easily, scoring two 35+ yard touchdowns to cut the lead to 27-14 right before the half.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers did not let the BC Lions back in the game, outscoring them 16 to 8 in the second half and winning by a score of 43 to 22. The Blue Bombers took advantage of the Lions' three turnovers and capitalized on quarterback Zach Collaros' strong play (288 yards and 3 touchdowns).
Next week the undefeated Blue Bombers face their toughest test yet versus the Calgary Stampeders while the BC Lions get the week off.

Another solution for the same purpose is made with sal-ammoniac, cream of tartar, common salt and silver nitrate.
Then put in a crumb of sal-ammoniac and fill up with water and it is ready for use.
It is quite possible that this solder was sal-ammoniac, though not made in quite this manner.
One might be almost induced to believe, that in the time of Boyle there were manufactories of sal-ammoniac in Europe1005.
The account given by Thurneisser, that the first sal-ammoniac was made in the Tyrol in the ninth century, is truly ridiculous.

Captain Planet: Origins
I love pollution. I don't recycle. I intentionally buy aerosol cans with CFC gases in them. When I have one of those plastic things that holds a six pack together, I intentionally go looking for fish and birds to trap in it. You know what I do when I see an endangered species these days? I punt it.
Many years ago, I was employed as a lab technician for the Seriously High-tech Intelligence Encouraged Laboratory in Doncaster. It's only now, after so many years have passed, that I'm allowed to talk about what went down there. I was sent there on this occasion, and like so many others, by my local burger-van owner turned literary agent turned temp agency turned occasional wedding planner, Bjorn. He told me this job would be relatively easy – simply pushing bits of equipment around, whilst I waited for a publisher to pick up my latest novel: Varg, a tale of Vikings and werewolves.
Upon arriving I was given the usual tour and Health and Safety video, followed by being given a run-down of exactly what the operation was. Long story short, it was the early nineties, and people were big on three things: Boglins, The Simpsons and being seen to be environmentally friendly. After their Weapon X project had failed back in the eighties, Stupidly Hyperbolic Initials Equalling Literally Diddly-squat decided to try and create themselves another super-weapon, albeit this time with a day-glo environmentally friendly bent. The result was what came to be known as "Captain Planet".
I was introduced to the concept by Captain "Slim" Jim Bimflim, a noted military scientist. "Well, let's face it, Professor Von Bolt-thrower, the world needs some sort of icon to rally around to deal with the pollution epidemic that we're all painfully and artistically aware of in the early nineties. With that view in mind, we've decided to genetically engineer a superhero of our own!"
"Oh, really?" I asked. "Do you think that harnessing cloning and genetic modification really sends the right eco-friendly message? Are you sure that this isn't a really dumb idea? Don't these things always go incredibly hulkily wrong? Doesn't the creature always turn on its creator?"
"Do you like my gun?" he asked. I took his point.
The idea was so fucking stupid I still can't quite credit it to this day. Basically, to prevent the superhero from becoming too powerful and taking over the world, they split his power into five rings to represent the five elements: fire, earth, water, air and the other one.
"I know there's the gun thing, and all." I said. "But aren't there four elements?"
"You've forgotten "Wind"." replied Bimflim.
"No, I've got that one."
"Ah, then you must have forgotten the human element. We've decided to call that "Heart", after test audiences responded poorly to "Duct Tape"."
I picked up the forlorn looking item and examined it. "But...this is just a Ring Raider..."
At this I was forcibly dragged through into the main laboratory, where a giant of a man lay in a tank of water, various IV leads and medical gubbins sticking out of him. His skin was a pastel blue and his hair a vibrant green. "So...what exactly are we looking at here?" I asked.
Bimflim smiled at me, evidently very proud of his creation. "This is the superman himself. We call him "Captain Planet", after test audiences responded poorly to "Deathbringer McGee"."
"So..." I asked. "You people at Shepherding Hate-mail Into Envelopes Labelled "Diatribes" seem to have everything under control here. What exactly is my job going to be?"
Bimflim smiled, and gestured to the rings. "Well, until the appointed agents arrive, you'll need to look after these. We've named the agents "Planeteers", after test audiences responded badly to "motherfuc"..."
"You want me in control of this guy, and these rings, until such time as a bunch of teenagers turn up?"
"Yes." replied Bimflim. "That's about the long and short of it."
I shrugged and took put myself on overwatch whilst the crowds of scientists milled around and about, studying clipboards, turning dials and occasionally whispering to each other. After what seemed like ages, I felt a tapping on my shoulder, and turned around to see five teenagers waiting for me.
"Professor Von Boltthrower!" exclaimed Speccy, Ginger, Orlando, and two other friends.
I took a fast, hard and very close look at my palm. "Hi, kids."
"What are you doing here, Professor Von Boltthrower?" asked Speccy. "Are you hot on the trail of Lord Voldemort and his latest plan?"
"Kids..." I muttered. "I just want to sit here, guard these rings and go home – why is that too much to ask?"
"The lost Rings of Aghoahn!" said Orlando. "They must be using them to try and awake the Captain of the Planet!"
"Hey!" I cried as the five kids snatched at the rings and pulled them on. Raising their hands into the air they cried out:
"Earth!"
"Wind!"
"Duct tape!"
There was a shattering shattering sound, and the green titan within the tank rose up, spraying glass and dead scientists everywhere. Fearing for my life, I ran from the laboratory, plumes of fire, smoke and duct tape chasing me down the corridor. Turning back, I saw a giant blue hand reaching for me. Throwing myself down a flight of stairs, I rolled out of the way, to see the laboratory go up in flames. I calmly lit my cigar from the fire ring (which still had Orlando's finger stuck in it), and went home.
"Jesus, Brad, this makes even less sense than the rest of them do!" cried Bjorn as he handed me my pay slip.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, for starters, you claim this was back in the early nineties, but those Hogwarts kids would have been just toddlers back then! And why didn't you just blast the giant monster with your Storm Bolter? Yes, your jacket is half burned away, there is broken glass in your hair and you appear to have acquired a Ring Raider...but I sent you to be a milkman! You were supposed to be just delivering bottles of milk to old people!"
I nodded. "Let me answer your questions with another question. Do you like my gun?"
Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.
Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.
If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Lyle Carmichael (1764–1813), was a British officer of the 2nd West India Regiment. He was Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces at the Siege of Santo Domingo. He was Lieutenant Governor of Demerara Essequibo from 1812 until his death the following year. He was a strong proponent of giving native Caribbean troops the same rights as ordinary British soldiers.

Biography
Born at Dublin, Ireland, in 1764, he was the son of Hugh Carmichael (1720–1776) and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh Lyle, of Coleraine, Co. Londonderry; formerly the captain of a regiment of dragoons. His grandfather, Andrew Carmichael (1675–1759), was the grandson of Samuel, brother of the 2nd Lord Carmichael. Andrew came from Scotland to Northern Ireland where he was Provost of Dungannon and married at Killyleagh his cousin, Anne Montgomery, niece of Hugh Montgomery, 1st Earl of Mount Alexander. Carmichael's sister, Eleanor, married the son and heir of Theaker Wilder, nephew of James Steuart, Admiral of the Fleet.

Carmichael is noted for recognising the value and usefulness of incorporating native Caribbean troops into the British Army. In 1797, he wrote that they were not only critical militarily, but their strength and stamina had been proven by their having to carry British soldiers through the heat and over the rocks at the Battle of Grenada. He campaigned for the right of slave soldiers to give evidence at Military tribunals. White and black soldiers alike were brutally flogged for violating military rules, but Carmichael found a more humane method to be equally as effective: During his eleven years as lieutenant-colonel of the 2nd West India Regiment, Carmichael instead demoted native offenders to a position resembling that of a common field slave – deprived of weapons and appointments and employed only on fatigue duties.

Carmichael had started his military career as an ensign in the 67th Regiment of Foot, and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1783. He served as a captain in Lord Strathaven's privately raised regiment, before returning to the British Regulars with the same rank in 1794. In 1797, he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 2nd West India Regiment.

In 1801, with Arthur Whetham, he was appointed full colonel and brigadier-general of the Leeward Islands. Between 1801 and 1802, Carmichael served as acting Governor of British Tobago. In 1803, he was appointed Brigadier-General of Jamaica. In 1808, now a major-general, Carmichael was despatched to end the French occupation of Santo Domingo. In command of six frigates of the Royal Navy, Carmichael supported the Siege of Santo Domingo. In June 1809, in command of the 2nd West Indian, 54th, 55th, and Royal Irish regiments, Carmichael embarked from Polingue Bay, and persuaded General Juan Sánchez Ramírez to capture San Carlos Church on the outskirts of the capital, cutting off communication between Santo Domingo and Fort Jeronimo. Carmichael installed heavy siege batteries around the capital and massed his forces ready for an assault until the French surrendered, 9 July 1809.

In 1812, he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Demerara Essequibo. Although he died in May the following year, he made several lasting changes in his short time as governor. In May 1812, he changed the name of the capital from Stabroek to Georgetown, in honour of George III. Dutch had been the official language of the courts but Carmichael ordered all legal documents to be written in both Dutch and English. His administration encountered stiff opposition from the Dutch planters who held influence at the Court of Policy, and particularly the College of Kiezers, which was held to be their exclusive domain. Without even first receiving approval from Britain, Carmichael took decisive action and abolished the College of Kiezers, handing over its duties to the Financial Representatives in the Court of Policy. Towards the end of 1812, the United States of America went to war with Britain. In September, American warships formed a blockade around Georgetown. Under Carmichael, a British force stationed in Georgetown launched a successful attack on the Americans and drove them from Guyana's shores.

Carmichael had married Catherine, the only surviving daughter and sole heiress of John Ferrall of Jervis Street, Dublin. In compliance with her father's will she became known as Lady Catherine Carmichael-Ferrall. They were survived by one son, Colonel John Carmichael, father of Captain John Jervis O'Ferrall Carmichael-Ferrall (d.1904) RN, of Augher Castle, Co. Tyrone.

Q: Could someone tell me the difference between these two MongoDB queries I was given the following problem in MongoDB:
How many companies in the sample_training.companies dataset were

*

*(Either founded in 2004 && ( either have the social category_code [or] web category_code))
|| (founded in the month of October && ( either have the social category_code [or] web category_code))

The actual query for the above question is given below and it returned 149 documents.
CorrectQuery:
db.companies.find({
  "$or":[
    {
      "founded_year":2004,
      "$or":[
        { "category_code":"social" },
        { "category_code":"web" }
      ]
    },
    {
      "founded_month":10,
      "$or":[
        { "category_code":"social" },
        { "category_code":"web" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}).count()

But I've tried to formulate another query for the same problem, unfortunately, it returned the incorrect value of 668 rows.
Incorrect Query:
db.companies.find({
  "$or":[
    {"category_code":"social"},
    {"category_code":"web"}
  ],
  "$or":[
    {"founded_year":2004},
    {"founded_month":10}
  ]
}).count()

Could someone help me in understanding the difference between these queries?

A: The answer is just the standard order of operations in boolean logic.
AND has priority over OR in the same way that multiplication has priority over addition in mathematics.
The first example is correct because the logic matches the logic in your problem.
The second example logic is:
(category_code is "social" or category_code is "web") and (founded_year is 2004 or founded_month is 10)

Your second example:
db.companies.find({
  "$or":[
    {"category_code":"social"},
    {"category_code":"web"}
  ],
  "$or":[
    {"founded_year":2004},
    {"founded_month":10}
  ]
}).count()

He's called Soap because he scrubs the terrorists clean.
Man's got to know his limitations..
because he is the ghost because he believes he is a ghost because he covers his face because he wants no one to see his face because people cant see ghosts and thats why he wears the mask ……
ColoStateRams said: Price launched the nuke and targeted it to detonate in the Earth's stratosphere to prevent D.C. from being destroyed by the blast, but still to allow the EMP from the nuclear explosion to affect D.C. and surrounding areas. This was the only way for the Russian invasion of D.C. to be stopped.
Cultural references. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3 includes a top secret joint operations task force named "Task Force 141." The primary purpose of the video game's organization, as in its supposed real life counterpart, is to take on and either kill or capture high priority individuals.
Simon "Ghost" Riley is one of the more popular characters in the original Modern Warfare series, making his debut in 2009's Modern Warfare 2 (and dying at the end). The British special forces operator is remembered for his skull mask, which you can see clearly in the teaser.
Ghost's final appearance was in a mission that shocked every single CoD fan that played it and became infamous in the community – Loose Ends. This is the last level in which players see Ghost alive. In it, both he and Gary "Roach" Sanderson, a fellow member of Task Force 141, are betrayed by Shephard.
When he and his younger brother, Tommy got older, Tommy would always wear a skull-mask at night to scare Simon. At one particular concert, his father made him laugh at the death of a prostitute who was addicted to drugs.
The player is not forced to shoot any civilians, however, and may instead walk through the airport as the massacre unfolds. The game does not explicitly encourage the player to shoot civilians, and the gunmen do not react if the player does not shoot. The player can shoot the gunmen, but they will retaliate.
Captain 'Soap' MacTavish: ["The Enemy of My Enemy"; opening] Shepherd betrayed us! Price: Have to trust someone to be betrayed. I never did.
Ghost managed to get Roach to the LZ, but both were ultimately betrayed by Shepherd, who fatally shot the two in the chest at point-blank range with a . 44 Magnum, just before Ghost could use his ACR.
When Ghost says "Alex, [I] thought you were dead," he simply replies with "Still standing." Essentially, the game hand waves away his noble "sacrifice" and just says that he got out without going into too much detail about exactly how he survived. He is, however, missing a leg and using a prosthetic one.
Having now obtained what he needed to cement his status as a war hero, the ruthless officer betrayed Task Force 141 in an attempt to destroy any links to his treacherous actions including his connection to Allen's death so he could bring Makarov down himself.
First of all it is revealed that one of the rebooted game's chief protagonists, Kyle Garrick, is in fact "Gaz" who featured prominently in the original 2007 edition of the game.
Ghost is an iconic figure in the original Modern Warfare trilogy, with many fans often citing his death at the hands of Gen. Shepherd as a definitive moment in the series.
This is more or less a given, when Soap is audibly angry at the realization they've been betrayed after "Loose Ends", when Shepherd kills Ghost and Roach. This is in direct contrast to Price, who explains that he never trusted Shepherd to begin with.
We know Simon Riley as 'Ghost' as one of the most beloved characters in other Modern Warfare campaigns and this led to speculation that Alex could be Ghost. … With a prosthetic leg for his troubles in The Furnace, Alex communicates with Ghost which completely rules out any theory that one could be the other.
Ghost was part of Captain Price's Task Force 141 and was a key character in the campaign until the mission 'Loose Ends. … Some fan theories believe that the new Ghost is actually 'Alex', who we are meant to believe died setting off the explosion which destroys Barkov's gas factory.
He is thrown to the middle of the bridge by the explosion, unconscious and wounded. Imran Zakhaev then approaches the incapacitated soldiers with his two bodyguards. Gaz regains consciousness just as Zakhaev shoots him in the head with his Desert Eagle, killing him instantly while Soap watches helplessly.

Russia drills the rock under the "Swallow's Nest" Palace in occupied Crimea, - UNESCO
The report notes that Ukrainian authorities have not granted their permission to conduct such works
The occupying authorities of the Russian Federation drill the rock under the monument of national significance the "Swallow's Nest" Palace (Lastivchyne Gnizdo) in a small spa town between Yalta and Alupka, in the Crimean Peninsula. Ukraine's Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs report that citing the UNESCO report.
"It has been learned that the occupying authorities started to conduct illegal excavations and engineering geological works, namely drilling of the rock where the monument of national significance the "Swallow's Nest" Palace is situated," reads the report.
The report also spots the illegal engineering works in other unique historic monuments of national significance like the Mosque and Medresse of the Khan Uzbek, the situation with the state of conservation of the Complex of the Sudak Fortress Monuments of the 6th-16th centuries remains deplorable.

It is also noted that Ukrainian authorities have not granted their permission to conduct such works.
Ukrainian authorities are collecting evidence to initiate criminal proceedings against so-called archaeologists, who, in violation of international conventions on the protection of monuments and relevant Ukrainian legislation, are conducting illegal excavations in the occupied territory of Ukraine. So far, the list of persons whose illicit activities in this sphere are recorded contains 33 scientists from different institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which reports their results in Academy's journals.
Earlier, the Illicit trafficking of Ukrainian cultural property by the occupational authorities from the territory of the annexed Crimea was reported. In March 2016, 38 paintings were moved from the Aivazovsky National Art Gallery in Feodosia for the exhibition to the Tretyakov State Gallery which was held in Moscow in July 2016. Only some paintings have been returned to the Ivan Aivazovsky National Art Gallery after the exhibition at the State Tretyakov Gallery, the rest of paintings have been moved to St. Petersburg for the exhibition "The 200th anniversary of Ivan Aivazovsky" in the National Russian Museum (opened 22 December 2016).

The Russian delegation misled the States Parties to the 1970 UNESCO Convention at the 4th session of the Subsidiary Committee of the mentioned Convention at the end of September 2016 as it stated that these paintings would be returned to Feodosia. Since that time there has been no information whether the paintings were returned to Crimea. Such actions of the Russian Federation constitute a blatant violation of the provisions of the 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.

On 29 June 2017 the exhibition "Pantikapee and Phanagoria" was opened in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. It includes 450 artifacts representing the history of the Bosporus Kingdom from the 7th century BC to the 1st century AD. In particular, a separate group of exhibits represents archaeological finds from the funds of Eastern Crimean historical museum-reserve in the city of Kerch. All these objects were moved to the exhibition in violation of a number of international conventions and the legislation of Ukraine.

Senate Explores New Uses for Mexico
Washington Democrats are busy these days cooking up a Mexico policy two-fer: Gun-grabber Senators like Feinstein and Durbin are pushing the bogus complaints of Mexicans that America is to blame for their domestic troubles because of drug cartels using US-bought guns; plus, by having a hearing the Senators get to look like they are doing something about border chaos.
But even if Feinstein and the rest of the anti-gun Democrats were to close down every gun store in America, wealthy cartels will simply purchase their firearms elsewhere. Obama's agenda is to disarm Americans, using the feckless Mexicans as an excuse.
Senator Durbin's rather limited border chart below, displayed at a hearing on Tuesday, shows his policy prejudices: He is more concerned about American guns getting into Mexico than millions of illegal aliens breaking into this country with drugs, crime and job thievery. [Focus shifts to flow of cash, arms into Mexico, San Francisco Chronicle, March 18, 2009]
California lawmakers and the Obama administration have begun to shift U.S. border policy with Mexico, abruptly changing focus from illegal immigration to the flow of cash and weapons from the United States that is fueling a savage war between the Mexican government and powerful drug cartels.
"It is unacceptable to have 90 percent of the guns that are picked up in Mexico and used to shoot judges, police officers, mayors, kidnap innocent people and do terrible things come from the United States," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said at a hearing Tuesday. "I am appalled that you can buy a 50-caliber sniper weapon anywhere and it's not restricted to a federal firearms dealer - you can just buy it."
NRA President Wayne LaPierre appeared on the Glenn Beck show on Wednesday and completely refuted Senator Feinstein's claim that 90 percent of cartel weapons come from the US.

Ernst Victor Carl Ferdinand David (Hamburg, 20 januari 1810 - Klosters, 19 juli 1873) was een Duits vioolvirtuoos en componist.

Leven
David was van 1823 tot 1824 leerling van Louis Spohr en Moritz Hauptmann. In 1826 werd hij violist aan het Königsstädtischen Theater in Berlijn. Daar leerde hij de cellist Johann Benjamin Groß kennen. Vanaf 1829 was  hij pas violist van de privé-kwartetkapel van de Lijflandse landmaarschalk en garderitmeester Carl Gotthard van Liphardt, vader van de kunstmecenas Baron Karl Eduard van Liphart in Dorpat en ondernam hij concertreizen naar Riga, Sint-Petersburg en Moskou.
In 1836 betrok Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy hem als concertmeester van het Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig en als primarius in het Gewandhauskwartet. Vanaf 1843 was hij ook viooldocent aan het Leipziger Conservatorium. Tot zijn leerlingen behoorden onder anderen Alexander Ritter, August Wilhelmj en voor korte tijd ook Joseph Joachim. David was nauw bevriend met Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, wiens familie hem in Berlijn opgenomen had en die voor hem zijn beroemde vioolconcert in e-mineur op. 64 schreef.

In 1828 ging David van het jodendom over naar het evangelische geloof. Hij werd vrijmetselaar en in 1836 werd hij als 26-jarige in de Leipziger vrijmetselaarsloge Minerva zu den drei Palmen opgenomen. Na 37 dienstjaren in het Gewandhausorkest stierf Ferdinand David tijdens een vakantie in Zwitserland.

Familie
In 1836 trouwde hij Sophie van Liphart (1807-1893), de dochter van zijn toenmalige dienstheer, de Lijflandse landmarschalk en garderitmeester Carl Gotthard van Liphardt, zus van Karl Eduard van Liphart in Dorpat. Uit het huwelijk kwamen vier zoons en twee dochters voort, onder anderen:

 Isabella ∞ Julius van Eckardt [1836-1908], diplomaat, medewerker van Bismarck
 Paul (1840–1932), violist, dirigent, muzikaal leider in Uppingham (Engeland)
 Helene Henriette (1842-1894) ∞ Reinhold Karl van Liphart(1839-1870)- haar neef
 Ottilie Sophie Charlotte ∞ Van Stahl
 Anna Maria Juliane (1852-1938) ∞ Prof. Dr. Phil . Hugo Carl Traut

Zijn zuster Marie-Louise David gehuwde naam Dulcken was een beroemd pianiste. Ook de jongste zuster Therese (gehuwde naam Meyer) trad vaak in het openbaar als pianiste op.

Oeuvre
Naast vijf vioolconcerten en meerdere concertstukken voor blaasinstrumenten componeerde David ook een bekend auditiewerk, dat uit het huidige standaardrepertoire voor trombone niet is weg te denken: zijn tromboneconcert in Es majeur op. 4. Het is een muzikale dankzegging aan zijn collega Karl Traugott Qeisser, die met hem in zijn strijkkwartet speelde en niet alleen een begenadigd altviolist was, maar ook als trombonist bovenregionaal bekend was. Hij stamde af van een "blazersdynastie", die vele soloplaatsen bezette in Leipzig, en ook in de Dresdner Hofkapelle – nu de Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden. De première van het tromboneconcert vond plaats in het Leipziger Gewandhaus.
Verder schreef Ferdinand David twee symfonieën, een opera (Hans Wacht, 1852), kamermuziek en een aantal Liederen. Stilistisch behoort hij tot de componisten van de romantiek.
Bijzondere betekenis hebben zijn bewerkingen van vioolwerken, waaronder die van Francesco Maria Veracini, Pietro Locatelli en Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Ook de complete pianotrio's van Beethoven gaf hij bij C.F. Peters uit. In 1843 bewerkte David Bachs sonates en partita's voor soloviool.

Q: Creating a Factorybot to return instance including associated instances I am new to Rails and Rspecs. So please bear with my questions if this is juvenile.
I am having two associated factorybots as shown:
specs/factories/table_definition.rb
FactoryBot.define do
  factory :table_definition do
    association :project, factory: :project
    name { 'table_definition' }
  end
end

specs/factories/projects.rb
FactoryBot.define do
  factory :project do
    association :user, factory: :user
    name { 'project_name' }
  end
end

And here is my rspec:
require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe TableDefinition, type: :model do
  let(:table_definition) { create(:table_definition, project: project) }
  let(:project) { create(:project, user: user) }

  it { }
  it { }
end

As you can see, I am creating the instance for the project separately and linking it with the table_definition variable. I just need the factory bot instance table_definition to have a project associated by default. How can we achieve this?
Actually, there are more than 10 interlinked models in my project and for the sake of simplicity, I have provided only two. I am sure there should be a better way of doing this. Your help is appreciated thanks.
-Santhosh

A: FactoryBot.define do
  factory :table_definition do
    project
    name { 'table_definition' }
  end
end

Note that project is the same as association :project, factory: :project
If you don't care about the associated object you can simply call it create(:table_definition) and the association is created for you. If you do care about the association (e.g your test needs to do something with it) then how you call it in your question is the right way.

SEEK Asia Launches Let's Get To Work To Empower Job Seekers After "Great Resignation"
Toto 6:49:00 AM
SINGAPORE, 19 November 2021 — Today, SEEK Asia, the parent company of leading jobs platforms JobStreet and JobsDB, and with investments in JobKorea and BDJobs (Bangladesh), announces the launch of its new omni-channel campaign aimed at getting job seekers, and especially first jobbers, to work. This comes after the pandemic caused unemployment rates to skyrocket to an estimated 81 million in Asia, with many still unable to secure a job. The pandemic has also changed people's attitudes towards their jobs, with many re-evaluating where and how they want to work and the kind of work they want to do. This has led to the emerging trend known as the "Great Resignation", a term coined by associate professor of management at Texas A&M University Anthony Klotz, which explains why even experienced job seekers are choosing to leave their current careers in the search of something more meaningful.
Aptly titled "Let's Get To Work", SEEK Asia's latest campaign will be rolled out in its six key markets from today, running across digital, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, social media, and PR. Let's Get To Work is a continuation of SEEK Asia's brand evolution that began in late 2020, and will focus its messaging on empowering job seekers to go after careers they are passionate about. The campaign also indicates an ongoing strategic business shift, positioning JobStreet and JobsDB as not just a jobs platform, but also as a career and talent partner for both job seekers and hirers, respectively.
The fully integrated marketing campaign is helmed by leading global marketing company McCann Worldgroup and will see adaptations of the regional campaign across microsites, campaign films in each of the six local languages, and in-market activations. McCann will work alongside Think Tank's multi-award-winning director Adrian Calumpang. Calumpang is a creative force with a long list of clients such as The Coca-Cola Company, Heineken, Nestle, Nike, and Unilever — to name a few. His style is typically sought after because of the way he portrays youth culture; elements that can be seen through the high-energy aesthetic of the Let's Get To Work brand films.
Jane Cruz-Walker, Chief Marketing Officer at SEEK Asia, said: "While the pandemic has caused widespread job loss, reduced working hours, and pay cuts, it has also caused many to re-evaluate what they want out of their career. Job seekers' demands have evolved beyond remuneration — they want a sense of fulfilment, good work-life balance, and career progression — and it is time for companies to adapt to this new world of work. This is why SEEK Asia is launching Let's Get To Work: to motivate job seekers to pursue the jobs they love! By providing job seekers with opportunities to find jobs that they are passionate about, we want to be the career partner that will inspire the next generation of workers and empower them to be the heroes in their own career journey!"
Focusing on the hyperlocal nature of the job market, Let's Get To Work will also feature influencers and key opinion leaders will be used across the region — including Singaporean actress Sharon Au, Malaysian stand-up comedian Harith Iskander, Indonesian vlogger Gerry Girianza, Filipino actor and chef Marvin Agustin, Thai musician Manassavee, and Hong Kong fitness entrepreneur Charlz Ng.
v In the Philippines, leading online job portal JobStreet will be bringing this exciting campaign to life with over 10 local influencers and key opinion leaders from different professions and industries, who will be sharing career advice from their own experiences to motivate and empower jobseekers. This holistic campaign can be accessed in a variety of channels, including a microsite with a range of stories, videos, tips, and advice to guide and inspire candidates on their 'Let's Get to Work' journey.
v "It has been a tough couple of years for Filipino jobseekers and I'm sure many are looking for a new career direction or a fresh perspective on what they really want from their jobs. Our campaign is here to help restore their passion for work and encourage them to push through these present challenges, so they could look forward to next year with a renewed sense of purpose in their career," shared JobStreet Philippines Country Manager Philip Gioca.
With over 13 million candidates and 75,000 job vacancies in the country, JobStreet remains committed to empowering the job market amidst the pandemic through continued efforts such as nationwide virtual career fairs and access to various online career tools.
In 2022, SEEK Asia will also be launching the Biggest Tech Career Fair in Asia, which aims to accelerate digital transformation efforts by providing more opportunities for job seekers to secure roles in companies driven by technology. As the biggest career fair in the region, SEEK Asia will aim to match thousands of tech job opportunities to hundreds of thousands of candidates.
Peter Bithos, CEO of SEEK Asia, said: "SEEK Asia is the biggest and most trusted jobs board in Southeast Asia. Our ambition is to grow fourfold in the next five years and to expand our platform beyond what people have come to know and love us for today. We are strengthening our existing business by making big investments in people, innovation, and technology. Through Let's Get To Work, we will be able to better engage with and inspire job seekers to find jobs that are meaningful to them. With our appeal to job seekers, this will also allow us to get more employers on the platform looking for quality talent, allowing an explosion of opportunities. Let's Get To Work is an integral part of SEEK Asia's commitment to job seekers and employers, and this is just the beginning of our exciting developments and plans."

Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Marvin Agustin Named Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Top Cuyugan, May Galvez, Mommy Teresa Marquez, and Marvin Agustin
For those fans of Marvin Agustin and of course those who loved the foods on his restaurants, here's something that would make you proud of him. Famed not only in the entertainment industry, now in the food industry as well. Here's the details of him being named as Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
When restaurateur Marvin Agustin was included in the list of the 17 finalists for Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of the Year awards, the actor-turned- entrepreneur never imagined that he will bag one of the five awards during the recently-concluded Awards Banquet held at the Makati Shangrila Hotel.
"I really did not expect that I'd bring home an award," says Marvin. "I am with such distinguished roster of respected people in the industry, people whom I really look up to, so I really didn't think that I will bring home an award."
Marvin with Annabelle Regalado-Borja
Marvin admitted that he thought, out of the 14 finalists, only one will be declared winner. This is the reason why Marvin never really expected to win.
Unknown to Marvin, however, a Young Entrepreneur of the Year award will be given and luckily, the actor-entrepreneur got the distinction.
Marvin was joined by his mom during the said ceremonies.
He adds that his mom was more excited than him.
Marvin shared that a night before the banquet his mom, while reading the Bible, was asking for a sign if her son will win the recognition. Then, she chanced on a passage implying that since she has not wished for quite a while, the desires of her heart will be given to her.
So Marvin's mom Teresa told him that he might win during the day of the event.
"I am really blessed that my mother supports everything that I do and she is super proud of my achievements," shares Marvin. "She will always be my inspiration."
Asked to differentiate receiving acting awards from the Young EOY commendation, Marvin quips, "when you win acting awards, it is inspiring because peers approve of your work. But here in the EOY, it is inspiring because of what it symbolizes – the recognition of the hard work you've put in to make your employees and their families survive."
Marvin noted how National Bookstore founder Socorro Ramos approached him and said, "You have a beautiful story. Keep inspiring the youth."
Marvin Agustin, Raymund Magdaluyo, Ricky Laudico
This recognition, according to Marvin, simply proves that with hard work, dedication, and determination, dreams really do come true.
Marvin was joined by manager and friend Annabelle Regalado-Borja, and business partners Raymund Magdaluyo and Ricky Laudico.

Pinoy Movie
MARVIN AGUSTIN returns to the big screen with sure-fire comedy hit "MORON 5 and the Crying Lady
Marvin Agustin has been out of the quiet on the big screen for quite some time and it's for sure that his fans are pretty thrilled to see him act again on the big screen. The movie is directed by Wenn V. Deramas entitled Moron 5 and the Crying Lady under Viva Films and MVP Pictures.
Half-witted longtime friends Albert (Luis), Isaac (Billy), Mozart "Mo" (DJ), Michaelangelo "Mike" (Martin) and Aristotle "Aris" (Marvin Agustin) were used to living moronic yet pretty normal and hassle-free lives until successful careerwoman Becky Pamintuan (John Lapus) accused them of killing her father and ruin everything for them. The Moron 5 are more than sure of their innocence but the life of them, they cannot find a single satisfactory argument on how to prove it especially when their opponent would do everything to punish them for whim.
Spending three miserable years in prison trying different failed comedic attempts to get out, they finally figured a way to escape. They stalked Becky and try to understand why she is fighting so hard to have them imprisoned when it's clear as day that what happened three years ago was a nonsense frame-up.
An opportunity came when Becky's driver got fired for having an affair with her maid and Albert volunteered to apply to replace him. He infiltrated the Pamintuan Residence and together with this four crazily daft friends, they've gathered information about the curious family yet to them, Becky's unexplained hatred for them it isn't making any sense at all.
Why is Becky fighting so hard to have them suffer? The Moron 5 will try their hardest to know and hopefully understand what's really going on although little did they know that by doing so, everything that they hold dear might be at risk.

Have You Seen Marvin Agustin Goes Door-to-Door With Knorr?
Marvin Agustin's journey to what he is today—a successful chef and restaurateur—is so inspiring that it became the cornerstone of his latest endorsement for Knorr Cubes.
Marvin recently signed on to become the new brand ambassador for Knorr Cubes, the favorite partner of people like him who are passionate about food and cooking. As such, he is also the new face behind Knorr Cubes' "Door to door Sabaw Challenge" in which he will be visiting different cities all over the Philippines, challenging cooks to identify which is the better, more ma-karne and better-tasting sabaw: the one made with Knorr Cubes, or not?
During the challenge, Marvin will present two versions of sabaw, one made with granules and the other, made with Knorr cubes. Marvin believes so much in the product's claims to deliver the meatiest taste and flavor that he throws in a promise to give up cooking if they end up choosing the sabaw that's not made of Knorr cubes—and everyone knows how passionate Marvin is about cooking, so for him to promise that is a big deal.
Among the locations Marvin will visit are Laguna, Iloilo, and Metro Manila. There will be a series of 30-seconder commercials featuring Marvin engaging cooks and housewives to take part in the challenge.
"That's really what it's about: Marvin being confident about the product so much that he's willing to give up his passion for cooking just to prove a point, which is that Knorr cubes is the meatiest out of all the cooking aids in the Philippines," says Monica Rios, brand manager of Knorr for Unilever Philippines, which is spearheading the Door-to-door challenge.
Marvin grew up in a household where cooking was a passion. Their apartment was small, and from the living room, one could sit and smell what was being cooked in the kitchen.
His mother loved to cook Filipino dishes. "Mahilig kami sa sabaw. Mahilig kami sa sinigang, mahilig kami sa nilaga. Every meal, kailangan laging may sabaw. Sabaw at kanin," recalls Marvin. "At we really used Knorr cubes. Kahit pinakbet, nilalagyan ng Knorr shrimp na cubes."
As a teenager, Marvin worked as a waiter, and later, became a mascot for a popular fastfood chain. From there, he worked his way up, became a popular actor and re-invented himself into a successful businessman with a chain of restaurants that includes Sumo Sam, Oyster Boy, Marciano's, Komrad, John and Yoko and Mr. Kurosawa.
This is what inspired Unilever to choose him to be the latest endorser of Knorr Cubes.
Says Rios: "It's a nice success story to hear, that he started out as a waiter, and even worked as a mascot for a while. He has proven that he can rise above all the challenges in life. Now he's a chef and a restaurateur. It's very inspiring, the way he was able to achieve everything…maypassion siya, and he just really went for it. So it's a nice feeling for him to be endorsing the product."
Marvin feels honored to be chosen to join Knorr's family of chefs. "When I first learned about it (endorsement), sabi ko, everyone knows that I really love cooking. I love cooking for my friends and my family, and Knorr cubes is really what we use for soup. So napakasaya at family-orientedang pino-promote namin na brand."
