WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Purdue University will soon announce a permanent campus memorial to Tyler Trent.
The Purdue superfan inspired people across the country with his fight against cancer ahead of his death in January. School president Mitch Daniels will give details on the memorial in an announcement tomorrow at Ross-Ade Stadium.
That is also when the winner of the inaugural Tyler Trent Courage and Resilience Award scholarship will be revealed.

Even if I had the time or inclination to play guitar, I'm not sure I could have. It's been over three months and I've made ZERO progress toward becoming a Guitar Chef. As you know, ZERO progress over an extended period of time is ultimately a set back. So I will restart my lesson plan from scratch.
Anyways, the hiatus is over because I've finally decided it's over. I can't just want this to happen. I have to will it to happen.


The Three Village Baseball & Softball League Travel Program is designed to provide a positive experience for any player capable and interested in an advanced level of play. This brochure is intended to inform the parents about the program and of the financial and time commitments involved in travel baseball.
Tryouts are held at the end of the fall season, usually around the end of September, for all existing teams. Tryouts are advertised in the newspapers, via handouts as well as email blasts. The Coaches chosen for those travel teams and a panel of travel commissioners will conduct the tryouts. The Three Village Baseball Board of Directors must approve all travel committee members and travel coaches.
Travel baseball is not for all players. Only those players serious enough to make the commitment, should consider trying out for a team. The league is committed to improving the skills of all players to their maximum capability. The league also makes the commitment to the players that they will play as long as the player/parent lives up to the rules stated by the coaches at the beginning of the season (attending practices, proper attitude, on time for games and practices…) Playing time, and how it is distributed, is decided by the head coach. Playing time is not guaranteed to be fair and equal to all players.
In addition circumstances occur that cannot always be anticipated from game to game. For example, games are sometimes shortened due to inclement weather, the mercy rule, or teams being short players etc.). In these circumstances, the parents and players must understand the situation that the team and coach are in. These instances occur on occasion.
Although it is the intention of the teams to win the games, winning at all costs is not the leagues mandate. Our philosophy is to build championship caliber players, not necessarily championship teams. Hopefully, by developing the players, the winning will take care of itself. However, because of the attempt to win games, this is why all the players are not guaranteed an equal amount of time. The coaching staff has the prerogative to play the players the number of innings they chose as well as in the position(s) best suited for the players and the team.
A player that makes a team is required to play our "Season" which runs from April through August. They are encouraged, but not required (in order to continue to be a member in good standing with that team), to participate in the fall season which includes September and October.
Once a player makes the travel team, he or she cannot be removed from that team until the following year's tryouts; however, extenuating circumstances may exist however, such as extraordinarily bad behavioral reasons on the part of the parent or player, which could faciliate the removal of the player. In contrast, should a shortage of players occur in the fall season, the coach, with board approval, is permitted to add additional players to the roster without holding a formal tryout, and must have a travel commissioner approve the player.
and fall). However, not all teams play in all three seasons.
This season is mandatory if the player decides to play travel baseball. The season runs from approximately April 1 through early August, with Winter Clinics starting in early January at an additional fee. They play approximately (17-24) weekend doubleheaders. Game days and practice days will depend on the team, league and division entered and your coaches availability.
The fall season runs from approximately September through the late part of October. They play approximately (7) weekend doubleheaders. Game days and practice days will depend on the team, league and division entered and your coaches availability.
• 8 year-olds play 10-12 games on 60 foot bases with a 42 foot pitchers mound.
• 9 & 10 year-old teams play 14-16 games on 60 foot bases with a 46 foot pitchers mound.
• 11& 12 year old teams play 14-16 games on 75 foot bases with a 51 foot pitchers mound.
• 13 and older teams play approximately 18 to 24 games per season on 90 foot bases on 60' 6" pitchers mound.
Travel starts with the 8-year-old team (primarily 2nd/3rd graders). When playing in-house baseball we encourage players to play with their grade (with their classmates), however, given the universal birthday rule; when playing travel baseball they must play with the team at their AGE, with the date of attainment of 4/30. There may be some rare circumstances when a player may be able to play "up" with an older age group, but NEVER down" with a younger age group.


My long term interest in Real Estate has come to fruition!
I am fortunate to be able to pursue my passion for Real Estate at Lugton's in conjunction with Kerry Hopper as his Sales Assistant.
Hamilton is my home and I know and understand the residential property market here. I grew up listening to "real estate conversation" as my father, Michael Pease, sold real estate in the Waikato for over 30 years.
I come to this profession from a background in health, 25 years as a Registered Nurse, working primarily at Waikato Hospital.
I have always enjoyed working and interacting with people and I am excited to now pursue a new career in property with Kerry and Lugton's.

I almost forgot to post a review about my experience. I had found a fantastic truck through a website and decided to make the drive out to E-town to check it out. We were greeted by Derek Klein when we walked into the showroom. He was wonderful to deal with. He knew exactly which vehicle we were talking about and got it right to us. The whole experience was as easy as it could be for buying a vehicle. Derek was wonderful and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. The only thing I think that could use some work is the F-150 we bought was not detailed very well. There is some baked on wax from the sloppy job that we are working to remove, but I've already had it professionally done once and some of it's still there. Also, the inside could've been a little cleaner. Not a big deal, but it is something that could definitely be improved on.
My husband and I have never experienced the type of treatment we got from Rico at any other place of business we have ever been to. Rico treated us with such respect and kindness and was genuinely eager to do any and everything to make sure we were comfortable and got the vehicle we needed. He was very patient with us, answered all of our questions, and even took us on a tour of the Swope Nissan facility where we were able to meet members of the service and parts teams. We truly felt like family from start to finish and we will most certainly be back whenever we decide to purchase another vehicle. This place is top notch and Rico is a gem of a person. Be sure to ask for him when you go!
I had a wonderful experience with Nissan. I worked with Chris and he was just great! He made buying a new car so easy ! Seriously, I don't think I'll deal with anyone else after working with him. George did all my paperwork and it was just seamless. They are friendly, professional and I feel like I made new friends. Not to mention, I have a beautiful new Nissan !
Got an ok deal and they are nice people. However, customer service is not a strong point. They call and said my car was ready. When I arrived the first thing they said was sorry you car is not ready (window tint was not fixed). I also asked them to run it through a dealer inspection, which I can only guess never happened. My first stop should not have to be with in one mile of the dealership to gas up an empty car just so I can get home. My second stop should not be the auto parts store to replace the wipers, if a proper inspection was done that would have been identified. In addition to that the oil was almost over full and I had to drain almost a quart. Which an inspection should catch. They tried to make it right by picking up my car to fix the window tint, but used over half a tank of gas for that. Thanks for letting me fuel your mistake. Sure, buy a car from them but ask a lot of questions, verify the answers, and don't expect much more than a fair deal.
Our sales person, Chris was fabulous!! Personalized treatment, and good listening skills. Also a lot of patience since I had a difficult time choosing between colors. He even arranged a test drive of another vehicle on a different lot, because I wanted to compare. Our sale was completed late, so he has invited us back for some specialty treatment we did not have time for. And I'm looking forward to it! And...I freaking LOVE my Rouge!! It's beautiful and so luxurious! So many bells and whistles! It's performance is tuned! So glad I chose this place and this vehicle.
Went there to look at new cars and talk about trading in my old one. Had a great experienced. Chris M. was incredibly relaxed and made the whole experience easy for me. First truly awesome experience I've had at a dealership. Incredibly low pressure. Went at my pace and went over the options I had for what I wanted to spend. Can't recommend enough! If you're buying Chris M. will definitely take care of you and won't pressure you to buy more than you can afford. He definitely knows his stuff and is looking to make sure you are happy with your experience and with what you buy from them.
Wow, what a great team at Swope Nissan in E-town - the BEST though was Chris McConn, my salesman. I knew which car I wanted months ago. I test drove the car (Nissan Juke) at a dealer in Northern California months back before I moved back to Louisville. I checked multiple dealerships in town and though some had the car, the price or the mileage was too high. Found the right car at the right price and though it was several miles away, I decided to fill out their website application. With a short period, Chris called me. He also sent a short video of the car and showed me his face. What an awesome little extra he provided. They processed my app and though my credit score was lower than I like, they were able swing the deal. Great price, low mileage and phenomenal customer service (Chris.) I'd highly recommend and rate them five star. If in Louisville, go out of your way to get to Swope Nissan in E-town and work Chris who goes out of his way to take care of you.
I've purchased my last 3 vehicles with Evan Boles. His professionalism is top notch and he genuinely cares whether the decision is right for you. Everyone I dealt with from beginning to end made the process seamless. Thank you Evan and the Swope team! I will return next time I'm in the market, as well as recommend to others!
I just purchased a vehicle from Zach Wilson. He has been the best salesman by far that I have ever worked with. I would recommend Zach to everyone I know.
I was given specific price on parts and then told that they would not honor that price and that I wasn't accurate about being given that price. One of the worst places as far as honesty and integrity. Maybe not the whole facility but those whom I dealt with know whom ye are.

I read some 'expert' say the other day that in the next ten years somewhere between 40-60% of all jobs will be automated. Presumably that won't include university administrators….oh well.
If that is the case then how can societies continue to function, with a 40-60% unemployment rate?
The automation of jobs does not directly correlate to unemployment. The workers eliminated by the invention of the steam shovel did not sit back and accept their fate. Of course no one was paying them to sit around and accept their fate either, but that's a whole other aspect.
I am only reporting what an 'expert' said, and that was that the next wave of automation was upon us now, will be much bigger than all automation up till now, and in the next years 40-60% of *all* jobs will be automated.
but there are plenty more out there with varying figures as this is early days.
I take these reports as food for thought.
I understand your point about steamshovels, blacksmiths and horsefeed suppliers and the mass production of the motor car was another popular example…………….but they were a displacement of jobs not an elimination of jobs. Automation is not about displacing jobs, rather, its goal is the elimination of them. That is the whole point of it.
OK, you may say that new, unimagined opportunities are just waiting in the wings and that human wants are infinite etc. I hope so. But if the aim is to eliminate jobs in a wholesale fashion then how does society continue to function? How would the US and industrialized world function if it all looked like Detroit?
You raise a good point. Historically, as WTP noted, jobs eliminated by technology have been replaced by new jobs. So, while the steam shovel replaced diggers, it created jobs like steam shovel operator, steam shovel manufacturer, and steam shovel mechanic. But, as you point out, the predicted automation is very large and the claim is that jobs will be eliminated. Presumably, some jobs would also be created to enable and support automation that cannot be automated. But, these jobs might be far less than the jobs eliminated.
It might be, as those who praise the automated future claim, that vast new economies will be created to absorb those displaced by automation. Perhaps administrative positions. Some sci-fi writers have speculated that humans will be paid to "supervise" robots or be on hand in case the automation fails.
But, as you say, if there was a massive loss of jobs, that could be an economic and social disaster. Who would be buying what the automated systems made or provided? Would such a mass of unemployed people be content to live on handouts? Who would provide these handouts?
People do always think we will solve the big problem, as we have done in the past. But, it is always worth considering that there will be a big problem we cannot solve.
Mike, as I've pointed out time and time again, you do not understand basic fundamental economics. And yet you continue to expound upon such as if you do.
So, while the steam shovel replaced diggers, it created jobs like steam shovel operator, steam shovel manufacturer, and steam shovel mechanic.
Such is not the point. The number of jobs created as you describe did not come anywhere near close to replacing the jobs "eliminated" by the steam shovel. The steam shovel enabled the projects on which it was used (buildings, roads, mining, etc. etc. etc.) to be completed more quickly and at a much lower cost. This resulted in a much more rapid production of wealth. Wealth that can then be used to create bigger and better things. The implications are much bigger than you allow yourself to comprehend. I suspect you refuse to comprehend these things as you are afraid to think differently from those around you. You let your politics define your thinking. Thus the rampant sophistry or, as TJ says, polemics.
You are locked in a 19th century mentality of static/steady-state wealth. We've been over this and over this and over this for at least five years now and you refuse to understand what wealth is, where it comes from, how it is created, and the costs and responsibilities of maintaining it. You have at times payed lip service to understanding just a tiny, tiny aspect of this yet it is obvious you are not interested in understanding as it never sinks in. your later writings are rife with misconceptions of these aspects of wealth.
There is an ancient anecdote, which might not be true, about Hero of Alexandria. He designed what seems to be the first steam engine and proposed that it be used to replace human slave labor. In response, it was asked "what do we do with all the slaves, Hero?" This same problem has arisen with every advance.
But, as you note, the new automation could be far more extreme. In utopian science fiction, this automation frees people to have better lives. In dystopian science fiction, the 1% get richer while the masses dwell in poverty in the megacities.
What is most likely to happen is that some of the displaced will move to new service jobs, while unemployment will rise. There is the idea that people must labor, so it seems unlikely we will get the sci-fi ideal of a society in which automation allows people to pursue what they wish to pursue in regards to their lives. The usual bogeyman used is the lazy poor who want to just get money for nothing and not work (unlike people who just live off investments, who are noble job creators). 40-60% unemployment would be likely to result in a revolution, perhaps with the 1% put against the wall.
How would the US and industrialized world function if it all looked like Detroit?
Detroit looks like Detroit due to attempts to artificially inflate wages relative to productivity and then when the inevitable automation replaced some workers attempts to preserve those unnecessary "jobs" eliminated the remaining jobs. Or the ones in Detroit anyway…see concluding sentence. Without the absurd requirements placed on American manufacturing by labor and by extension, government, the jobs would still be there. There is no Detroit in Japan nor Germany nor South Korea. In fact much of Detroit didn't disappear, it just moved to Tennessee, Mexico, Alabama, etc.
Robots are mighty expensive to create. There's a lot of cost sunk into them. Even reproducing them is moderately expensive in most cases. If labor was paid what it was worth and not the insanely overvalued rate that is demanded, labor would be much cheaper than capital (robots) and thus there would be jobs in that sector.
They won't be expensive when robots make them.
I don't think labour can compete with robots regardless of capital costs……which is why they exist now. The same applied throughout all previous automation. The difference now is that they may be taken from their highly restricted places in manufacturing and unleashed on society.
What I am getting at is how will society function if 40-60% of *all* jobs are eliminated……and stay eliminated.
OK, you say just cut off the dole and people will get off their arses and get work. Maybe. What was the unemployment rate in the Great Depression? 25-30%? How would that and worse…….and as a permanent feature, change society? In other words, how would the great depression affect society if it became permanent?
See my reply above to Mike. There are other jobs and purposes for human beings in this world besides manufacturing stuff. It's a 19th century mentality. The world is a much bigger, more complex, and more adaptable place than you seem to understand it to be.
"There are other jobs and purposes for human beings in this world besides manufacturing stuff. It's a 19th century mentality.
How would your society have looked if the Great Depression and its unemployment rate had lasted 20,30,40 years or more? Would people be worrying about 'other jobs and purposes for humans' or any job or even just food?
I think we will see more discussion on this if/when many management and professional jobs start getting hit hard.
That may be so, but all sorts of economic and social disasters have happened throughout history too and no society is immune to it, even ones far less indebted than yours and mine. Things don't always end well and we in the anglo west have been very lucky (partly because our leaders have been very ruthless). We will find out soon enough if we are living on borrowed time or not.
And the effects are much worse on economies that implement a considerable amount of the central planning mentality. Unplanned, free economies respond to such challenges much more effectively and rapidly. You are mistaking the disease for the cure.
It could be that the predictions are wrong but we won't know till after the fact. Neither of us actually know though you seem more certain than I am.
Thanks for the vid, quite interesting.
The concern over employment and jobs is, from an historical perspective, mystifying. Employment as we know it in the last two centuries is a new concept, never seen before in human history. As there have been dramatic changes in the structure of society, why would anyone think that there would cease to be changes in the near future? Certainly an individual that loses his job at the widget factory is more concerned with next month's mortgage payment than he is with the bigger picture of the development of human relationships but his individual problems have meaning only to himself and those around him.
While no one can predict the future in detail, some trends seem to be leading to inevitable results. For instance, human ingenuity in health care appears to have subverted natural selection and evolution. It is no longer of any consequence for a person to have less than "normal" vision. Humans with poor vision are just as likely to reproduce as people with good vision and their descendants are more and more likely to have less acute vision. The genetic factors that produce diseases like diabetes, coronary heart problems, hypertension, etc. aren't being eliminated from the gene pool because these afflictions can be treated and their carriers can live long, productive lives. They produce others like themselves. Future generations are more likely to be concerned with genetic failures than they are with gainful employment. As they live longer lives through medical advances, those lives will increasingly be tied to things like heart transplants, kidney dialysis, insulin shots and handicapped parking spaces.
In bygone times, humans that couldn't cut the mustard, not only in physical but mental terms, were less likely to procreate. Today a person mentally on the far left side of the Bell curve can not only survive but perhaps even prosper in a way. And produce more intellectually impoverished. Oswald Spengler made note of this but he couldn't foresee the incredible advances in modern medicine. He would predict, however, that the genetically superior barbarians will eventually displace their weaker, increasingly less intelligent cousins, even though they have robots and drones.
Mystifying perhaps from an historical perspective but our societies are built around certain norms. Take away those norms and all bets are off.
My point was not about 'just changes', rather how would society function with 40-60% of all jobs automated. Some here think it's no biggie, we just roll on regardless. I am not so sure. What do you do with large numbers of permanently unemployed??
A government/banking death spiral would be a good thing.
I agree but the elitist bastards running the show say never let a good crisis go to waste….
That is why they are running the show. Anarchy now.
How so? We saw who got hurt the most when the banks death spiraled. Places like Yemen, Iraq, and Somalia show us what the death spiral of a government looks like. It would be bad. Very bad. Hobbes pretty much nailed it-the state of war would make life nasty, brutish and short.
Banks are a recent invention. Central banks even newer yet. Since the US Federal Reserve was established in 1913 there's been the Great Depression of the thirties and numerous other general financial foul-ups. They don't seem to have a handle on the situation even now.
I don't know if you've spent much time in Iraq, Yemen or Somalia, the latter being the poster-child for nation-state advocates. Maybe you've been exposed to the horror of the lack of a Department of Education and Department of the Interior. Visiting the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota or the Bois Fort Reservation in Minnesota would easily make you appreciate the advantages the native Americans now enjoy that they never dreamed of prior to losing their property and lives to the European invaders. Of course, the nasty, brutish and short thing doesn't apply to teen-age girls walking to school on the morning of August 6, 1945 in Hiroshima, Japan. Only a big government/nation state has the ability to marshal the resources to create and deliver a device that can antiseptically kill thousands in an instant. Even the most vicious Latin American drug gangs (themselves a product of the all-powerful nation-state) don't have the wherewithal to murder the civilian population of whole cities.
Nation/state apologists like Hobbes have had their views expounded by talented but unthinking artists like William Golding, whose "Lord of the Flies", a fanciful and generally ridiculous metaphor that equates the absence of a nation/state with a lack of civilization and has been required reading for millions of state-educated adolescents and the subject of more than one movie. It's a successful propaganda campaign that has embedded the necessity of state control in the minds of a huge majority of the population of not just the US, but much of the world. If the human species is so barbaric that it can't survive without the supervision of a supposed elite with an efficiency in mass murder then what's the point?
And another thing, you have no more understanding of what actually happened in the recent financial crisis than my dog has regarding where the food in his bowl comes from. Please stop commenting as if you do. You're just a tiny part of the mantra of ignorance in matters economic, but that doesnt excuse your spreading ignorance not to mention your refusal to acknowledge your ignorance.
Have you read the classic sci-fi story "The Marching Morons"? The author envisions a future in which the few smart people left have to work constantly to keep civilization going because most people are, well, morons. In the story, a man from the past comes up with the solution (he bases it on Hitler's final solution).

The Fosters Midseason Finale Description; When Does Season 2 Return? Any Season 3 News?
August 18, 2014 Updated: July 18, 2015
The Fosters on ABC Family has its summer finale on August 18, and will then take a break before returning in a couple months.
The network hasn't announced when exactly the show will return, but last season the break ended on January 13, giving a rough estimate of when it will return this time around.
In addition, the number of episodes hasn't been pinned down yet.The first season had 21 episodes, 10 of which aired before the break. Episode 10 of season 2 is airing on Monday night, so this season very well could have 21 episodes again.
After the show returns from the break, there should be no other breaks for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, there hasn't been any news as of yet concerning the renewal or cancellation of the show. But the ratings haven't dropped too much from season 1, so things look good for a renewal for now.
See a description of the midseason finale, Someone's Little Sister, below.
"In an effort to help Rita with a dilemma involving Girls United, Callie calls in a favor from her wealthy biological father, Robert Quinn. But an unexpected betrayal threatens to derail the new bond she's forging with the Quinns," it said.
"Meanwhile, the pressure Connor faces from his father to end his friendship with Jude intensifies and leads Lena to make a life-changing decision. The tension mounts between Brandon and Lou, despite their bandmate Mat's warnings against drama. And a visit with someone from his past makes Jesus see his relationship with Hayley in a whole new light."

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction Offered Morality Plays for the 1990s
By Darren Mooney November 27, 2020
One of the most pervasive criticisms that contemporary critics leveled at the earliest films of director Quentin Tarantino was one of "nihilism" — the belief that his films embodied a cynical view of an amoral universe that was unraveling at the seams with nobody who could stop it.
These criticisms began with contemporary reviews of Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino's directorial debut. At The Washington Post, Desson Howe described the film as a "nihilistic drama." At Variety, Todd McCarthy went further, arguing it was "nihilistic but not resonantly so." Stephen Hunter in The Baltimore Sun described it as "one of those pulpy endorsements of nihilism that ends up with just about everybody in the movie and several poor souls in the first rows of the theater on slabs."
These accusations haunted Tarantino through the decade. In 1998, Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan reported a colleague lamenting how "the gleeful and nihilistic mixture of bloody violence and comedy" associated with Tarantino had infected cinema. Although Manohla Dargis was careful to avoid directly implicating Tarantino in what she christened "the new nihilism" that same week, the fact she felt the need to mention him at all suggested his association with the movement.
Jonathan Rosenbaum complained that a "nihilistic pop masterpiece" like Pulp Fiction could win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Red. The decision of Clint Eastwood's jury to award the prize to Tarantino remains controversial among a certain class of film critic. However, there is not as much difference between Kieslowski's Red and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction as Rosenbaum would claim. Both are meditations on a chaotic, detached world.
Tarantino himself describes Red as a "masterpiece." It is a study of anomie and disconnect. It is a French film shot in Geneva that was "deemed too Polish" to be eligible for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. It focuses on a retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who listens in on the phone conversations of the people around him. The film suggests that the love of his life might have been the student and model Valentine Dussaut (Irène Jacob), but they were simply born too far apart.
Kieslowski has described how he was motivated as a filmmaker by observing life in the wake of the Cold War. "I was watching people who didn't really know why they were living," he explained. Red is part of Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy of films — so-called not out of any patriotic fervor, but because the money to make them came from France. At their core, these three films are about the unlikely and unpredictable intersections of lives that seem to be moving without direction or purpose.
These themes echo in Tarantino's films. This is obvious in the sprawling ensembles and non-linear structure of films like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Indeed, his script for True Romance had been nonlinear before director Tony Scott restructured it to make it linear. While critics complained that Tarantino was just showing off with these complex structures, the writer and director rejected that assertion, "Those stories were better served dramatically to be done the way I did them."
The disjointed and non-linear structure of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction in some ways reflected the cultural anxieties of the decade around them. By designing the films to separate and reverse the concepts of cause and effect — in many cases showing consequence before inciting event — Tarantino invited the audience to question the idea of causal relationships. Similar to the idea of the lovers displaced in time in Red, Pulp Fiction displaces action and reaction.
This could be seen as an extension of the idea of "the end of history," proposed by economist Francis Fukuyama at the end of the Cold War. If there was no progress to make, of course cause and effect would unravel. More specifically, it reflected what French philosopher Jean Baudrillard would describe as "the illusion of the end" in 1992 — the same year that Reservoir Dogs was released. Aleksandar S. Santrac summed up Baudrillard's theory as "a short circuit between cause and effect."
This disentanglement of action and consequence gets at a larger fear. The same year that Reservoir Dogs was released, author Neal Gabler lamented the breakdown of moral consensus, "Without a consensus, we will have not just moral anomie; we will have a society so fragmented that it ceases to exist." The same year that Pulp Fiction was released, author Tom Wolfe argued, "Now there's hardly an educated person who would say right and wrong is written in stone."
Indeed, just as Red lost the Palme d'Or to Pulp Fiction, Pulp Fiction lost the Best Picture Oscar to Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump was seen as part of a major conservative push in contemporary mainstream movies, an assertion of a comforting narrative about the arc of history that imposed a comforting external meaning and structure on a chaotic decade. It is "a warm reassurance." This external meaning and reassurance is largely absent from both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
After all, Tarantino's films are set against a chaotic "urban Wild West of contraband, drugs, bribery and professional destruction." They focus on criminals and murderers. The robbers in Reservoir Dogs cannot even agree on the order in which events occur. In Pulp Fiction, the boxer Butch (Bruce Willis) goes from the organized crime fight-rigging of Robert Wise's The Set-Up to the horrific sexual assault of John Boorman's Deliverance in "the single weirdest day of [his] life."
As such, on the surface, Tarantino would seem to be embracing this chaotic nihilism, acknowledging that the world operates without any driving principles or moral logic. The world is insane. However, a closer look at Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction reveals something much more interesting. Instead of rejecting the idea of a moral order to the universe, Tarantino instead acknowledges that it is increasingly hard to find. However, it is there for characters and audiences willing to discern it.
This is reflected in the structure of both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. For most of Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) is bleeding out on the floor of a warehouse, having been shot during the botched robbery. Over the course of the film, it is revealed that Mr. Orange is actually an undercover cop named Freddy. Initially, the idea that an undercover cop would die so slowly and painfully and certainly seems to reinforce the film's nihilism. Shouldn't Freddy be the good guy?
Gradually, the film offers flashbacks for the various characters. Freddy's story is last. The particulars of Freddy's wound are treated as a big deal; Freddy was shot by a woman that he attempted to carjack. He reflexively shot back, killing her. She was neither a cop nor a criminal; she was what Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) would call "real people." It happens by train tracks, suggesting the crossing of a line. The camera lingers on Freddy's face. This is Freddy's big sin. Crucially, he knows it.
In Pulp Fiction, the audience is introduced to career criminals Vincent (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) in the first section of the film. In the movie's middle section, Vincent is killed rather ignominiously by Butch while emerging from the bathroom. Jules is nowhere to be seen. Jules' absence is only explained in the third story told, which actually happens before the events of the other two. Vincent and Jules were almost killed in an ambush, and Jules took it as a sign.
One of the big debates between Jules and Vincent is about whether the miraculous series of events that spared their lives was "divine intervention," the action of a "higher power." Vincent scoffs at the idea, treating it as luck. Jules treats it as a sign. He sets out to redeem himself. He does this by peacefully negotiating a stand-off with two armed robbers (Roth and Amanda Plumber) instead of killing them and by retiring from "the life." This means he is not killed by Butch along with Vincent.
When the events of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are laid out linearly, they are surprisingly straightforward morality tales: Freddy kills an innocent person and so dies with the criminals; Jules renounces his life of crime while Vincent refuses, so Jules lives and Vincent dies. "At the end of the movie," Tarantino explained of Pulp Fiction, "the guy who actually becomes the lead character after the movie's over with is a killer who has a religious epiphany! And it's played straight. It's not a big joke."
Tarantino being Tarantino, he frames this morality in terms of Hollywood history. "I never intended it to be this way but in some ways my films go by the old Hays Code," he confessed. Still, morality plays throughout Tarantino's career, particularly his later films — whether the righteous anger directed at historical villains in Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, or the fantasy of saving Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and punishing the Manson Family in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Despite accusations that his work embraces nihilism, Tarantino rejects the idea of meaninglessness in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Instead, the director acknowledges that the world is a chaotic and arbitrary place, where meaning can be difficult to discern as the relationship between cause and effect blurs. However, it is not impossible. Tarantino responds to this confusion by insisting that it is still possible for audiences and characters to discern a moral path through that chaos. It takes work.
"I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd," Jules tells Ringo (Roth) towards the end of Pulp Fiction. Maybe nothing worth doing is easy.

Bumpy Road to New Russia-Ukraine Gas Agreement
© Sputnik / Maksim Blinov
by Tim Korso
Tim Korso. Sputnik International
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201912311077910531-bumpy-road-to-new-russia-ukraine-gas-agreement/
After several years of arguing in courts and disputing the decisions afterwards, Russia's Gazprom and Ukraine's Naftogaz have finally signed a new long-term contract on gas transits via Ukrainian territory, which will come into effect on 1 January 2020.
The gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine essentially started over violations of a contract signed back in 2009. It posited that Ukraine would buy a certain amount of Russian gas annually, while Gazprom would transit a certain minimum volume of gas every year through the Ukrainian pipeline. However, at some point after the Ukrainian government was overthrown in the 2014 coup, Kiev stopped buying gas, thereby initiating a gas dispute between countries.
Here is how it erupted and developed over the years, with mutual demands, lawsuits, and attempts to reconcile.
Ukraine's Violations and Gazprom's Demands
Following the coup, Kiev started accumulating debt by not paying for the gas it had obtained from Russia. This was partially due to Moscow discontinuing discounts on gas that had been granted to the country, raising prices from 286 dollars to the market level of 485 dollars per 1,000 cubic metres.
These discounts were tied to a leasing contract for a Black Sea military base for Russia's fleet in Crimea, which was voided soon after the 2014 coup.
The Ukrainian gas debt reached $5 billion and in June 2014, Gazprom started supplying gas to Ukraine on a pre-paid basis only. Kiev refused to buy it on such terms, while demanding a return to the old gas price, stopping its gas purchases from Russia.
Gazprom filed a suit with the Stockholm Court of Arbitration, demanding that Ukraine's Naftogaz gas company repay the debt and pay a fine for not buying the minimum gas volume from Russia.
Gazprom made several proposals for gas prices to Kiev, offering to reduce it to 232 dollars, but Ukraine repeatedly skipped payments throughout 2015. On 25 November 2015, Russia stopped supplying gas to the country for good due to its unwillingness to pay for it.
The amount demanded by Gazprom from Naftogaz over its debt and unbought gas grew as the dispute continued, increasing from $5 billion to $37 billion by 2017.
The Stockholm Court of Arbitration decided on 22 December 2017 to partially satisfy Gazprom's demands, ruling that Naftogaz had to pay $2.019 billion to the Russian company. It dismissed Kiev's demands for a reduction of gas prices.
Ukraine's Naftogaz's Counter-Demands
Parallel with Gazprom's demands, Ukraine's Naftogaz in October 2014 filed its own suit with the Stockholm Court of Arbitration, accusing the Russian company of violating the provisions of the 2009 contract by transiting less than the minimum set volumes of gas annually.
Naftogaz also demanded that the transit prices set in 2009 be increased.
The amount demanded by Naftogaz was constantly growing, reaching $27 billion in 2017.
The Stockholm Court of Arbitration ruled on 28 February 2018 that Gazprom owed $4.673 billion to Naftogaz for transiting less than the required volume of gas through Ukraine's pipeline system.
Signing of New Contract
While Ukraine was satisfied with the court's decision, Gazprom appealed the ruling, refusing to pay the consequent $2.56 billion fine. The fine also served as a stumbling block in the negotiations between Gazprom and Naftogaz on a new contract to replace the one signed in 2009 – the Russian company demanded that the two parties mutually nullify their demands in order to sign an agreement. Kiev refused to do so, even though the contract would guarantee gas transits through Ukraine despite the upcoming launch of two new pipelines to Europe from Russia.
In the end, Russia acceded to Ukraine's demands and signed the new contract on 31 December 2019 while agreeing to pay $2.56 billion, with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev calling it a "necessary compromise". At the same time, the new deal ensures that the two sides will never file any new suits on old contracts in the future and will recall all pending cases from the courts against each other.

Gazprom Completes $2.9 Bln Payment to Ukraine's Naftogaz in Move to Settle Long-Running Gas Dispute
Gazprom will transit at least 65 billion cubic metres (over two trillion cubic feet) in 2020 and 40 billion cubic metres (1.5 trillion cubic feet) per year thereafter for four more years through Ukraine under the new contract. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kiev expects to receive at least $7 billion in revenue during the five-year period that the contract covers.

The gulf between snowboarding and environmentalism has been vast—even though the board community relies heavily on the environment. Over the last decade, snowboarding initiatives like Protect Our Winters gained steam, but the tie between boarding and environmentalism haven't always there.
The Arbor Collective, a California-based snowboard and skateboard company, and its athlete Marie-France Roy are helping close that gap. We sat down with Marie to take a closer look at what sustainability looks like in the snowboarding community. She shares her personal journey, and offers tips on how every boarder can be more eco-conscious.

A: Have you tried to compile you code before updating api? It seems that the code you've added cannot be compiled.
The problem is that new api cannot be parsed.
If you check external/doclava/src/com/google/doclava/apicheck/ApiFile.java you'll find the the throw statement that can help you:
throw new ApiParseException("missing class or interface. got: " + token, tokenizer.getLine());

It seems that you try to add to api private class or interface that is not allowed. To check this try to look into out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt file line number 6342. There you should find the name of the class or interface that causes the error.

A: The reason for this issue was ,
Cause :- I was adding private classes in Android Frameworks and these classes documentation/declarations must be added to "frameworks/base/api/current.txt"
Solution :- as per error logs, There are two solutions.
1) add @hide annotation in each method's Signature in each newly added file and its members.
2) use commands $ make update-api then  $ make -j4 or either use $make update-api && make -j4 , and code should be compilable now.

This fun twist on a classic caprese salad makes it extra refreshing with a whole new level of sweet. Watermelon adds crisp sweetness that is perfectly savoury with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Place the watermelon slices on paper towels and cover with additional paper towels to absorb some of the excess fluid.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the vinegar and honey. Stir to blend, bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Stirring occasionally until the mixture has reduced by almost half. (Do not let reduce to far or to froth). Set aside to cool slightly.
On a large platter, place the watermelon slices and top each with a slice of cheese. Salt and pepper, then sprinkle the basil leaves evenly over the top. Drizzle with the olive oil followed by the reduced balsamic vinegar. Garnish with basil.


Meet Mae Allison Wells-Kress from US, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after umpteen tests. She also has been diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome and Arnold Chiari Malformation.
My senior year of college is when I started to have symptoms. I had always lived a very fast paced life and was always working on schoolwork, attending class, working both at my part-time job 2 internships and hanging out with friends when I found any spare time in my schedule.
The first symptom I started to have was fatigue. Because I was an on-the-go type of person, at the time I just thought it was my body finally catching up to me. When the fatigue failed to disappear after a few months I started having pain in my joints as well as indigestion. The doctors seemed to be more concerned about my stomach issues than my widespread pain and continued to conduct more medical test to look for answers to my digestive issues. On September 1, 2009 the doctors removed my gallbladder, convinced that it would solve all my problems. Unfortunately the surgeon somehow closed off my bile ducts while I was under the knife and a few days later I had to go back under and have a stint put in my bile ducts so that I would be able to eat and drink again.
A month later my symptoms have only seemed to worsen. My general practitioner conducted more tests, sent me out to numerous specialists, but none of the tests showed anything and the doctors seemed to focus on one or two of my symptoms, not everything as a whole. I finally went back for a check up with my regular doctor and while he was listening to my heartbeat through my back, he noticed how tender I was when he touched me. He conducted the pain point exam and he knew right there and then that it was Fibromyalgia.
I thought that finally being told what was wrong with me would be a relief, unfortunately I still have lots of unanswered questions. Knowing this information does not solve my problems, or kill my pain. I still experience pain daily but stay positive that I will get through this and believe that someday I will live a day without pain.
My pain is usually a deep achy feeling and lives in my bones and joints, almost as if I have a fever full time. I most often experience pain in my elbows, knees, down my neck and back and in my shoulders. I have sharp pains every now and then in my breastbone which makes it hard for me to breathe. I also experience daily headaches as well as migraines with double vision as well as numbness in my hands and feet a few times per week. I still have indigestion issues but have learned to stay away from certain types of foods (alcohol, gluten, dairy, corn) in order to help with my stomach issues. I am tired on a daily basis but have a hard time falling asleep. I never feel as if I get a good night's rest and getting out of bed in the morning is challenge. I also have a tough time regulating my body temperature and have a hard time tolerating cold and very hot climates. I am always cold and tend to have very low blood pressure majority of the time. Other symptoms that I experience on a regular basis include anxiety, frequent viruses and infections, myofascial pain, trouble hearing, muscle cramps and spasms and painful menstrual cycles.
I have been diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome, which is what causes the numbness in my hands and feet. I have also had a MRI and CT scan that showed I have low-lying cerebral tonsils, otherwise known as Arnold Chiari Malformation. Doctors believe that my headaches are associated with the Chiari, however I am still waiting to get into the Cleveland Clinic to determine whether or not I need surgery since my symptoms continue to worsen.
As much as I try not to let my Fibromyalgia rule my life, I have had to make drastic changes in my life. I no longer live the fast-paced life I was used to. I often feel that people perceive me as being lazy or anti-social because I do not have enough energy to go out with friends or do housework. Working full time can be challenging, especially on the days my pain is in full force. I still have a hard time accepting that I may never be able to work an 8-hour day, come home make a nice dinner for my husband and still have enough energy to do the dishes and finish some chores around the house before bedtime. In my mind I still feel like I can conquer the world, but once I set out to do it, I don't get very far before the pain sets in. I try to make sure that I still get out and see friends, exercise, and do things because it will keep me sane. And even if I only get out for a few hours a week it is enough to keep me happy.
Fibromyalgia has definitely affected my social life. I used to be the life of the party, and now I am surprised if I make it to the party. It is hard live like a normal 28-year old, going out to bars, having fun dinner parties, etc. when I feel that I am twice my age inside. My friends and family have always been very supportive. And the ones didn't try to understand what I am going through aren't worth fighting for to have in my life.
My employer is very flexible and allows me to work from home if I need to at times. I know that most other companies would not allow me to work from home as a graphic designer. I don't necessarily think that my condition has held me back from my current role, but I think it holds me back from exploring my options at other companies because I probably will not find another company that allows me to work from home when I do not feel well or take time off to make it to my many doctors appointments.
Currently I am seeing a Pain Management Specialist and a Rheumatolgist. In the past I have also seen a holistic pain doctor, neurologist and an internal specialist.
I have never done well with any of the medications that claim to help with Fibromyalgia symptoms, they upset my stomach and make me even more tired than I already was. In the past I have had doctors put me on and take me off medicines such as Cymbalta, Lyrica, and Savella. I have been put on Ambien as well as other sleep medications to help with my troubles falling asleep. I have been put on numerous pain medications like Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Percoset, Oxycodone, Tramadol, Ultram, Cortisone shots and the Butrans patch to help with my pain. I have also been put on Imitrex and nerve medications for my headaches.
Currently, I remain on the Butrans patch, which is a transdermal patch that I wear all the time. It gives off a continuous low dose of medication to help with the pain. I do think it helps with the overall pain. I change it once a week and though I do experience itchiness around the application site, the side effects are minimal compared to majority of other pain medications I have tried. I also continue to use the Tramadol for days when my pain is worse that usual.
I have taken a turn where my fatigue is worse than usual and have not needed to use any sleep medications in the past year or two. My headaches have been worse over the past year and I turn to over the counter drugs such as aspirin, Tylenol or Aleve first. If OTC drugs fail to do the trick I usually take the prescription medication Imitrex, especially when the headaches are on the verge of turning into migraines.
As controversial as it is, I look forward to medical cannabis being legalized in Ohio. I have been told by numerous people with Fibromyalgia that it does help with the pain, and I hope that the government can see past certain issues to realize that this drug does help a great deal of people with different illnesses.
I have tried many types of alternative therapy such as massage therapy, tens units, water hydro-massage beds, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture and neck traction.
The only method that I felt gave me any sense of relief was the massage therapy. I went to a massage therapist that is not the typical masseuse that would be found in a day spa. The massage therapist was familiar with fibromyalgia and was able to work my muscles without me having to point out my sensitive spots to her. The massage therapy method wasn't exactly relaxing at the time, truthfully it hurt, but in the end it was the only method that relieved my pain for a few days. Unfortunately my insurance company would only cover so many visits per year, and it was very expensive to keep up with after I was responsible to pay for the entire visit and not just my specialist copay.
I have found that what I eat definitely plays a role in my pain levels. I have learned that staying away from dairy, gluten and alcohol greatly improves how I feel overall. If I eat like crap, I will feel like crap the next day. One of the other huge triggers that I have found greatly increases my pain levels is diet soda. For whatever reason, diet soda tends to make my headaches worse.
I have also found that light stretching each morning when I wake up and before I go to bed, helps to keep my body loose. My muscles and joints tend to tighten up if I do not stretch them regularly and it sends my pain levels sky high.
I do try to exercise when possible, however I am busy so I try to fit exercise in when I have free time. I find that most forms of exercise are hard on my joints. I do find that yoga is relaxing as well as a great way of relieving tension and pain. I try to do light yoga at home or on my lunch break at work a few times a week. Exercise makes you feel good, and if you can push yourself to exercise even when you are feeling bad, you will end up feeling better in the long run.
I have learned to meditate and do breathing exercises on my own. I do not feel as if it helps relieve my pain, but it does help in stressful situations which in the long run could prevent my pain levels from increasing.
In high school I started having problems digesting dairy, I gave it up completely and a few weeks later I felt like a million dollars. Years later I started having similar symptoms as I did in high school when I ate dairy but I had a much harder time tracing it back to anything since gluten is in so many things. I try my best to give up gluten because I know it makes me feel lethargic and even achy at times, but it has always posed as a challenge when eating out at restaurants and even going to dinner parties. It took me a long time to understand what I can and cannot eat while going gluten free, so I never assume that friends, family and even restaurant chefs know what I can safely eat.
Fibromyalgia is an illness that can't be seen. You never know when someone with Fibromyalgia is hurting. We are strong and do not want your sympathy nor do not want to be treated as if we are contagious. All we want is your respect for what we go through on a daily basis. We live each day in pain, and that does not make us weak, it makes us stronger than most people. We are not lazy, nor are we unmotivated, however for us to live normal lives is easier said than done.
I would like doctors to stop treating Fibromyalgia as a term used for the garbage pail of symptoms that can't be identified or linked to anything. I have had numerous new symptoms come up over the past few years where doctors will tell me that it is probably linked to the fibromyalgia. On any normal patient, the doctor would conduct a series of tests to determine a cause, but because I have fibromyalgia it does not mean my symptoms are linked to my illness. I learned that this year, when it took doctors 6 months to conduct an MRI ultimately showing that I have Chiari Malformation. Even after the MRI showed this, doctors told me that it tends to fall hand in hand with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia may not be very well understood, but that doesn't mean you should give up on us since our cases our harder to solve.
I have found that friends and family are the best support you can turn to. I have tried Fibromyalgia support groups before and I felt as if I was the only person there with a positive outlook on life. Support groups are supposed to help you go on with your daily life and lift you up, not bring you down. I have found that ridding my life of all negative influences is the best way to keep a positive outlook on life. I want to live my life, and I am the only one who can control just how I choose to do so.
I do enjoy joining in on conversations found on numerous Fibromyalgia Facebook pages. It makes me feel better knowing that there are others in this world experiencing similar problems and sharing stories is not only a good release, but gives me insight as how others are trying to help their pain, what works and what doesn't. It has become a go to when my doctor is unable to answer my questions and I find that I need answers. People around the world tune in every day to these pages and just want to help others find answers to their problems and have their questions answered in return. Fibromyalgia Facebook pages like an encyclopedia on the illness written by hundreds of specialists.
I joined the Fibromyalgia Awareness facebook page about a month or two ago. I feel that educating the general public is important in our battle with this silent illness. So many people only know what they have heard over the years about Fibromyalgia. I have had people tell me to my face that the illness doesn't exist, is all in my head, it is just depression or it's a cop out for hypochondriacs. Many people are uneducated on illness and unless we take a stand to try to set the record straight, people will continue to believe what they have heard in the past or from other uneducated individuals. We all have to do our best to spread the word that Fibromyalgia can't be seen, but that does not mean it is real.


Russia alleged Wednesday that American airstrikes had targeted a residential Baghdad neighborhood where the Russian Embassy is located.
U.S. Ambassador Alexander Vershbow was called to the Foreign Ministry to hear a Russian protest over the bombing, the ministry said.
The ministry demanded that "American authorities take urgent and exhaustive measures so that such dangerous and unacceptable incidents are not repeated in the future."
The ministry did not report any casualties in Wednesday's airstrikes, but said "the security of the Russian diplomatic representation's staff came under direct threat."
Russia's ambassador to Washington, Yuri Ushakov, delivered a similar protest to U.S. officials, it said.
Asked about Vershbow's meeting at the Foreign Ministry, a U.S. Embassy official said that U.S. forces are designating only military targets and using only precision-guided weapons in Iraq.
On a visit to the city of Tambov, about 250 miles southeast of Moscow, President Vladimir Putin reiterated Russia's opposition to the war, telling military veterans that Russia would "strive to return the (Iraqi) problem to the United Nations," Russian news agencies reported.
Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov lashed out at the United States over allegations that Russian companies had provided Iraq with military equipment in violation of U.N. sanctions.
Echoing previous denials, Ivanov dismissed Washington's allegations as "propaganda" intended to distract attention from criticism of its military campaign in Iraq.
"Now that it's hot for them, they are raising an outcry. It's not excluded that there will be other groundless accusations," Ivanov was quoted as saying by the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily.
Amid the strain in U.S.-Russian relations, the lower house of parliament last month put off ratification of a nuclear arms reduction treaty signed last May, citing negative feelings over Iraq.
Moderate lawmaker Vladimir Ryzhkov, who is in charge of parliamentary contacts with the U.S. Congress, pointed out Wednesday that Russia needs the arms reduction treaty more than the United States, because it can't afford large nuclear arsenals.
"It's wrong and simply stupid to use the treaty to blackmail the Americans," Ryzhkov told a news conference.
Also Wednesday, Russia's lower house refused to consider a motion to provide massive humanitarian aid to Iraq. Only 105 lawmakers of the 226 necessary to put the draft resolution on the agenda voted to open debate on the statement.
The Russian government has said the "occupying forces" in Iraq should have primary responsibility for the country's civilian population. At the same time, it has sought to ensure that Russian contracts under the U.N.-sponsored oil-for-food humanitarian program are honored.

ANGELINA JOLIE reveals TWO of her DAUGHTERS had SURGERY recently
Angelina Jolie revealed that two of her daughters recently underwent surgery. She shared the update in an essay for Time on International Women's Day. "I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter, and days ago watched her younger sister go under the knife for a hip surgery," the Maleficent star wrote. "They know that I am writing this, because I respect their privacy and we discussed it together and they encouraged me to write. They understand that going through medical challenges and fighting to survive and heal is something to be proud of."
Amanda Bynes and her fiancé Paul Michael have called it quits. The couple called off their engagement just three weeks after announcing it on Valentine's Day . Bynes has not confirmed the end of her engagement but she cleared her social media pages of all photos of her and Paul together.
Keira Knightley revealed that her daughter has now seen the Disney movies that she previously banned. Knightley said back in 2018 that she would not let her daughter watch certain fairytale movies because she din to like their messages."She's watched them all now," she said in her new interview with Net-A-Porter. "When we watched Sleeping Beauty, she said, 'It's not OK that man kissed her without her permission!" Knightley recounted, adding, "I can't tell you how pleased I was."

If any of these sound familiar, you're a seasoned Admin, like me! Whether you're "old school," "new school," or something in-between get ready because I'm about to show you some of my favorite Summer '18 features that I know you'll appreciate.
This was a real problem for my users when I was an Admin. They HATED unchecking the box, forgot to do it every time, and always created garbage opportunities that…surprise…I ended up having to purge at the end of every month. I remember creating a custom button that passed in a URL parameter that auto-checked the box. Well, guess what – THERE IS A BOX IN LEAD SETTINGS NOW.
At long last, we can send a mass email to all Campaign Members right from the Campaign record itself. Although this is no replacement for Pardot or Marketing Cloud, for a very basic bulk email tool, this gets the job done. Add an HTML Email Template and some merge fields, and you have a simple mass email tool. Don't forget about your org limits—if you have more than 5,000 emails per day, this is probably not the right tool for you.
In addition to going to a record and mentioning someone on the record feed, there is now the ability to mention a record directly from within a Chatter post or comment. This is very handy, and allows you to be more flexible with how you use Chatter. Give this one a try – I bet it becomes part of your regular Chatter usage very quickly.
I voted for Alex Sutherland's sub-folders idea many years ago, and at long last, we have them! We can now have report folders and sub-folders along with sub-sub-folders. So start organizing your reports and dashboards! Maybe use this as an excuse to do an "Eat and Delete" lunch where you and your team audit your existing reports and dashboards by running a report on Reports, see what's in active use, and purge the rest!
I saved the best for last. This is the future of report building in Salesforce, and it is real purty. There are too many updates to name, but just a few that have me really excited are: Run without Saving, Reorder Columns in the outline, Row and Column Grouping using the sidebar, and Picklist field filtering.
Okay, #AwesomeAdmins: let me know what you think! Lots of great stuff coming, right? Get up to speed on ALL the new enhancements coming in Summer '18 by checking out the Release Notes and let us know what YOUR favorite features are in the Admin Trailblazer and Release Readiness Trailblazer Community groups!
Don't forget: you can get the resources you need to share all the amazing features coming in Summer '18 by downloading your Release in a Box kit. Release in a Box is an enablement kit for Admins and User Group leaders who want to prepare and present an introduction to Summer '18 to their team, stakeholders, and/or community. Everything you need to deliver a 30-minute presentation on Summer '18 is included. Download your kit now.
