Review: "BlacKkKlansman" explores racism
Alex Exsted
The 2018 film "BlacKkKlansman" is an interpretation of a true story regarding the infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan. Photo courtesy of Gravillia Inc. (gravillisinc.com).
"BlacKkKlansman" is the latest film from politically-charged director Spike Lee. John David Washington stars as Ron Stallworth in this true story of a black police officer in Colorado Springs who's chosen to head an investigation of the Ku Klux Klan. Stallworth talks with the Klansmen over the phone while his white partner, played by Adam Driver, meets with the men in person.
The best quality of this film is that it is a character study of the type of people one wouldn't often focus on in a mainstream movie. "BlacKkKlansman" looks at the issue of racism from both sides while humanizing deplorable characters. Even though almost all of the African-American characters have no personality other than being for the black power movement, this film succeeds at giving each main racist character a different motivation and mindset.
"BlacKkKlansman" does a great job of comparing and contrasting the black power movement and white supremacists in the late 1970s. There is one scene that shifts back between a white supremacist meeting and a black power meeting, showing how both sides feel very strongly about their extremely contrary beliefs. While the Klansmen are presented more negatively, some were presented as reasonable people with unfavorable opinions.
However, there is an issue with a lack of likable characters for the audience to connect with because most of the movie focuses on these racist bigots. While I do enjoy Washington's character, I find it difficult to connect with his character because of his lack of emotion and awkward performance, especially at the beginning. For example, when he first goes undercover, Washington acts in a way that feels very disconnected from the people around him which makes the portrayal seem unrealistic.
Adam Driver doesn't develop his character enough either because he's limited to acting like a racist for most of his screen time. Driver's character is Jewish, but hangs out with these Klansmen that hate Jews, which is a compelling yet undeveloped concept because the film is solely occupied on diving into the controversy between black and white. It seems like this film uses morals to justify how much the audience should like a character, but the protagonists aren't fleshed out enough and it often comes off as boring.
This film contains a few references to current issues and makes statements about current racism in America. There is some very on-the-nose dialogue, and the film ends with footage from last year's white supremacist march in Charlottesville. Despite how one may feel about these statements, it detracts from the film as a whole because it doesn't flow with the rest of the film.
It's not that a movie can't get political and present a strong opinion, it just feels like this plot is too superficial to sustain such a serious message. Most of this film does scorn these racist characters, but it is nowhere near as hateful as the footage shown at the end. "BlacKkKlansman" is a relatively light-hearted film, but I think Lee believes he's making a much stronger message with this film than he actually is.
The direction of the film has quality, yet it's lacking. There are a few really nice shots with slow camera movement, but the cinematography is a little too dark throughout. Even though there are a few issues with the look of the film, it doesn't really distract from the tense narrative elements which shine through in the film.
The film comes off as a bit unorthodox in its approach, even though the story isn't all that uncommon. There are some odd scene transitions and camera angles that give the film some style. Even though there were some impressive moments, Lee could've gone further into this and used a more creative or experimental visual style to bring more interest to the film.
The pacing of this film doesn't flow very well. The first 20 minutes seem very long and a bit tedious. While there is some important setup, I wish it would've been done in a more engaging way. As much as I didn't care for the movie at the start, the film makes up for it with an engrossing, tense ending. Though, "BlacKkKlansman" still feels too long and could've easily been five minutes shorter.
Even though "BlacKkKlansman" is a bit of a mixed bag, it's a quality film overall. If the film was more uniformly interesting and entertaining, this would've been one of the best movies of the year. This premise isn't wasted, but this was a missed opportunity to create something great.

NYPD: Assault suspect hurts 3 cops in Tottenville skirmish
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 36-year-old man slashed a woman's arm, then, when cops tried to arrest him, he resisted so violently he injured three officers in Tottenville, fracturing one's wrist, authorities allege.
Vincent Lovari, who lives on Johnson Avenue near where the skirmish with police occurred, was taken into custody following a series of domestic incidents on Sunday, according to the criminal complaint and police.
The woman was the girlfriend of the suspect, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
The incidents began around 10 a.m. inside a home in Greenridge when Lovari used a knife to cut the woman's arm and threatened to kill her, the complaint alleges.
EMS responded and the victim refused medical attention at the scene, police said.
Cops spotted Lovari following the woman on Johnson Avenue on Sunday evening, the complaint alleges. The suspect allegedly ran away as officers approached him.
Officers caught up with him on Arthur Kill Road near Lafayette Street at about 8:28 p.m., police said.
As officers tried to arrest Lovari, he kicked his legs, flailed his arms, twisted his body, pinned his arms under his chest, thrust his elbows and refused to give up his hands, the complaint alleges.
He allegedly declined to comply with numerous commands that he put his hands behind his back and stop resisting.
One officer suffered a broken wrist, another experienced lacerations and bleeding to his arms, wrists, legs and chest, according to the complaint. The shoulder of a third officer was injured.
Lovari was charged with assault, aggravated harassment, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and menacing.
The suspect was convicted of misdemeanor assault on Staten Island in October 2016, according to the complaint.
Several cases in connection with drug, assault and other charges against the suspect have been consolidated.
He is due in state Supreme Court in St. George on Wednesday and in Criminal Court on his domestic violence arrest on Friday, according to public records.
He is being held at Rikers Island in lieu of bond set at $20,000.
An attorney for the suspect confirmed his upcoming court dates but did not provide further comment.

In 2014, Delhi University professor G.N. Saibaba was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and held in Nagpur Central Jail till the Supreme Court granted him bail in 2016. In March 2017, he was convicted by the Gadchiroli sessions court to life imprisonment for alleged offences under the same Act, and returned to custody in the Anda cell of Nagpur Central Jail. His appeal against the conviction is pending before the High Court in Nagpur. While the grounds of his conviction are debatable, the immediate concern is regarding the question of miscarriage of justice on other grounds. Mr. Saibaba has severe disabilities and multiple related health conditions and has high support needs. Placing him in solitary confinement with no support violates his right to life, bodily integrity and autonomy under Article 21, although his conviction only imposes restraints on personal liberty. This inhuman treatment is punishment far in excess of the sentence awarded by the court.
It is now time to ask searching questions about the sentence, and appeal to the court for the application of constitutional due process so as to not endanger his right to life.
The deplorable conditions in Indian prisons are well known. It is settled law now that prisoners may be deprived of personal liberty according to procedure established by law, but that does not include a derogation of their right to dignity. The privacy Bench reiterated the words of Justice Krishna Iyer in the Prem Shankar Shukla case: "The guarantee of human dignity, which forms part of our constitutional culture, and the positive provisions of Articles 14, 19 and 21 spring into action when we realise that to manacle man is more than to mortify him; it is to dehumanise him and, therefore, to violate his very personhood, too often using the mask of 'dangerousness' and security…" and that the right to life cannot be restricted to mere "animal existence". How do we begin to understand the sanctity of life, dignity and bodily integrity for a person with disabilities? If handcuffing is an extraordinary and excessive restraint on an ordinary prisoner, what constitutes excessive restraint beyond the writ of law for a person with disabilities?
The Supreme Court holds unequivocally that in adopting the Constitution, the people of India do not surrender the most precious aspects of the human persona — namely life, liberty and freedom — to the state on whose mercy these rights would depend. Each of these aspects — life, liberty and freedom — must be considered together and/or severally as the case may be. Where there is a sentence on personal liberty, the citizen does not surrender his life to the mercy of the state.
If, as the right to privacy judgment asserts, privacy "as an integral part of the right to human dignity is comprehended within the protection of life as well", it is necessary for every court to develop a sensibility towards and understanding of what constitutes human dignity and protection of life for persons located differently in the social order. For, an important aspect of this judgment, which is now law in India, is respect for human diversity and pluralism.
Albeit with reference to a different case, the court observed that neither the fact that very few persons bear certain attributes nor the test of "popular acceptance… furnish a valid basis to disregard rights which are conferred with the sanctity of constitutional protection". Mr. Saibaba may well be the only person in his situation. That in itself is reason for the courts to intervene actively in his favour and remove him immediately from this precarious situation of precarity and irreversible harm.
In the light of the decision of the Supreme Court on the right to privacy, particularly its comments on the Suresh Kumar Koushal judgment on Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and the habeas corpus case, one cannot help but hope that the Nagpur High Court, in considering Mr. Saibaba's appeal against his conviction, similarly examines the judgment and deliberates on the relationship between fact, law, popular rhetoric and proportionality therein.
Most importantly, however, it is hoped that the court examines disability as a ground for the grant of bail, as distinct from (but related to) "medical grounds". This entails, according to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2013, "respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy… and independence of persons" and "accessibility". Section 2(s) of the Act defines a person with disability as "a person with long term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment which, in interaction with barriers, hinders his full and effective participation in society equally with others." In conditions of custody, such persons must be protected from any hindrance to the exercise of bodily integrity and autonomy with dignity — this lies at the core of his right to privacy. Unavailability of such a guarantee within custodial facilities entitles the prisoner with disabilities to bail.
At the time of his conviction and the proceedings so far, we did not have the constitutional wisdom of the privacy Bench before us. In weighing the question of restraint on personal liberty against the risk to life, bodily integrity and dignity, the court scene in The Merchant of Venice spins into view: "Therefore prepare thee to cut off the flesh/Shed thou no blood, nor cut thou less nor more/But just a pound of flesh." A Daniel, come to judgment.


Yury Tynyanov was a famous Soviet/Russian writer, literary critic, translator, scholar and scriptwriter of Jewish origin. Yury Tynyanov was born in Rezhitsa, present day Rēzekne, Latvia. He was a brother-in-law of Veniamin Kaverin, another well-known Russian author. He graduated from Petrograd University in 1918 and published his first works in 1921. Tynyanov was an authority on Pushkin and an important member of the Russian Formalist school. Tynyanov also wrote historical novels, and applied his theories to many of his fictional works. He was a notable translator of Heinrich Heine and other authors. He died of multiple sclerosis in Moscow.


Forget Dan Black, it's all about Black Daniel today. The band – a product of New York and London via Cape Cod and LA – are blessed with many things, among them celeb fans (Suicide, Eddie Argos, him from Chairlift), a really informative press release (did you know drummer Luke hates jazz but loves cheese fondu?) and in one case a nice little moustache.
More importantly perhaps, they've also got a knack for big ominous electro and a double A-side single out soon that we would heartily recommend. A1, 'Here Comes Caesar', is all gloomy vocals and industrial bass (think Goose's subsonic frequencies) that turns bight and harmonica-filled in a Brian Jonestown kind of way in the final dying seconds. A2, 'I Love You But Don't Touch Me Cos You're Sick', meanwhile is a more upfront garage scuzz romp.

Q: UserSensor.builder() Android Things Like seen here, I have been following tutorials to create an accelerometer driver for my raspberry pi 3 with android things:

public static UserSensor build(final Accelerometer lsm9DS0) {
        return UserSensor.builder()
                .setType(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)
                .setName("LSM9DS0")
                .setVendor("")
                .setVersion(DRIVER_VERSION)
                .setRequiredPermission(DRIVER_REQ_PERM)
                .setPower(DRIVER_POWER)
                .setResolution(DRIVER_RESOLUTION)
                .setMaxRange(DRIVER_MAX_RANGE)
                .setMinDelay(DRIVER_MIN_DELAY)
                .setMaxDelay(DRIVER_MAX_DELAY)

                .setUuid(UUID.randomUUID())
                .setDriver(new UserSensorDriver() {
                    @Override
                    public UserSensorReading read() throws IOException {
                        final float[] result = lsm9DS0.getAccelerations();
                        return new UserSensorReading(
                                result,
                                SensorManager.SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH);
                    }
                })
                .build();

I noticed that in devpreview 0.2 this method works fine for me, it registers all it reads and sends me results but when i use this specific method:

        sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
        if (sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) != null){
            Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: hay acelerometro");
        }
        else{
            Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: no hay acelerometro");
        }

It brings back null, even thought it does work and sends me results.
Then I tried updating developer preview to 0.4.1 but this part in my code:
.builder()   shows red and won't run saying "Cannot resolve method 'builder()' "
Anyone has any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Heating up using an LM317 voltage regulator I try to regulate a 12V into 3.7V using an  LM317 voltage regultor.
I used R1=220Ohm and R2=470Ohm, using this circuit:

It regulates a 3.9V (close enough for me,) but it heats up. I can't even touch it while it is powering an ESP8266 ( which draws a max of 200mA.)
Why is it getting hot?

A: Yes, under the conditions you are using the regulator, it will heat up a lot, as it is a linear regulator. It will dissipate all excess power as heat.
Since the voltage over the regulator input and output is about 8V, and the maximum current draw is about 0.2A, the regulator will have to dissipate maximum of 1.6W as heat.
The junction to ambient thermal resistance is about 25 degrees C/W, so as an extremely crude approximation, chip case can be approximated to be about 40 degrees higher than ambient room temperature.

Q: Confusion about stable rank Let $A$ be an unital Banach *-algebra, let $Lg_{n}(A)$ be the set of n-tuple $(a_{1},..., a_{n})\in A^{n}$ such that there exists $(b_{1},..., b_{n})\in A^{n}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^{n}b_{i}a_{i}=1$. Then define topological rank of $A$ to $n$ if there is a smallest $n$ such that $Lg_{n}(A)$ is dense in $A^{n}$.
I know it is a dumb question, but what confuses me is, for $n=2$, $(a,1-a)$ belongs to $Lg_{2}(A)$ for all $a\in A$. That means $A^{2}\subset A^{2}$, which is dense. This implies all Banach *-algebras have stable rank 2, which is false. What mistakes have I make?

Doppler effect analysis helped narrow Malaysian jetliner search
In this Monday, March 24, 2014 photo, a crew member on board an RAAF AP-3C Orion aircraft looks at a radar screen whilst searching for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 over the Indian Ocean. After 17 days of desperation and doubt over the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, Malaysian officials on Monday said an analysis of satellite data points to a "heartbreaking" conclusion: Flight 370 met its end in the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean, and none of those aboard survived. (AP Photo/Richard Wainwright, Pool)
http://www.aol.com/article/2014/03/25/doppler-effect-analysis-helped-narrow-malaysian-jetliner-search/20856663/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D457719#!slide=2502544
By JUSTIN PRITCHARD and KELVIN CHAN
HONG KONG (AP) - Investigators are closer to solving an international aviation mystery thanks to a British communications satellite and classroom physics.
An analysis of faint signals sent from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 to an Inmarsat satellite led officials to conclude the plane crashed in a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean. More precise information about the plane's position when it sent the last signals is helping authorities refine the search being undertaken by planes and ships in seas 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, Australia. Investigators had little to examine otherwise because other communications were lost early in the flight March 8.
THE TIMING
Even with other communications shut down, the plane sent an automatic signal - a "ping" or a "handshake" - every hour to an Inmarsat satellite. Flight 370 completed six pings, and the time each took to be sent by the plane and received by the satellite showed the plane's range from the satellite, according to the U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch. This initial analysis showed the last ping came from a position along one of two vast arcs north and south from the Malaysian Peninsula.
Think of a horn being honked in a passing car. To an observer, the sound is high pitched as the car approaches and is lower after the car passes. On approach, each successive sound wave is sent from a slightly closer position to the observer. The sound waves get compressed, resulting in a higher frequency. The opposite happens as the car moves away. It's called the Doppler effect for Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who put forward the theory in 1842.
The same effect applies to the pings, which would arrive to the satellite at a higher frequency if the plane was moving toward the satellite and decrease in frequency when moving away.
For the analysis that led to Monday's conclusion the plane had crashed, Inmarsat studied the satellite communications made while the plane was on the ground at Kuala Lumpur airport and early in its flight.
It considered aircraft performance, the satellite's fixed location and other known factors. By knowing how the Doppler effect would apply to the satellite communications, Inmarsat could calculate the possible positions, direction of travel and speed of the plane.
The company then compared its predictions to six other Boeing 777 aircraft that flew the same day, and found good agreement, according to Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. Inmarsat did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press.
"By analyzing that you can determine speed and direction," said Joseph Bermudez Jr., chief analytics officer and co-founder of AllSource Analysis, a commercial satellite intelligence firm. And by determining the area from which the last signal was sent, then estimating fuel left, it "could give you an approximate area of where the aircraft impacted."
Inmarsat sent its data to investigators days after the plane went missing. But it continued to run its own analysis to see if it could wring out any more clues.
The company's engineers were dealing with a "totally new area," Chris McLaughlin, senior vice president of external affairs at Inmarsat, told the BBC. "This really was a bit of a shot in the dark." However, the latest information could only go so far in pinpointing the jet's location.
"We can't help you with any closer data," he said.
Gregory D. Durgin, a professor who teaches satellite communications at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said that because Inmarsat was using a different kind of satellite in a novel way, he expects it would locate the last ping from the Malaysia Airlines lane within "around 100 miles (161 kilometers) of precision."

Inmarsat Plc started out in 1979 as an intergovernmental organization with the aim of helping ships communicate while at sea. It became a private company in 1999 and listed its shares in London in 2005. Customers now include governments, airlines, broadcast media, oil and gas companies, aid agencies as well as merchant shipping. They use hand-held satellite phones, laptop size Internet devices and antennas linked to the company's 10 satellites to communicate.

Univers de la série

Personnages

Personnages principaux

 Andrea Fanti
Il est le principal protagoniste de la série. Il travaille à la polyclinique Ambrosiano de Milan où il dirigeait le service de médecine interne. Il est séparé de sa femme Agnès depuis plusieurs années. Il a une fille, Caroline, et entretient une relation secrète avec sa collègue Julia. Après la mort d'un patient, Giovanni Pavesi, son père lui tire une balle dans la tête lui faisant perdre tous ses souvenirs des douze dernières années. À cause de l'amnésie, il perd son poste de médecin-chef et devient un médecin consultant, sans pouvoir décisionnel, dont le seul et unique métier est d'« aider » les internes. Dans le premier épisode de la deuxième saison, il est le premier à découvrir qu'il y a un cas de COVID-19 à l'hôpital, encore semi-inconnu à l'époque. Il a également eu un fils nommé Mathias, qui mourra subitement d'un arrêt cardiaque alors qu'ils étaient à Paris. La mort de son fils l'a rendu cynique et distant, car il s'en veut. Mais, de par son amnésie, Andrea a oublié cette partie « sombre » de sa vie. Il choisit alors, en tant que médecin, de reprendre le chemin de l'empathie et de l'écoute des patients, exactement comme il le faisait au début de sa carrière et avant la mort de Mathias. Il retrouvera sa place de chef de service à la fin de la deuxième saison.
 Julia Giordano
Elle est médecin et officie au service de médecine interne. C'est une collègue d'Andrea et son assistante, à l'époque où il était chef de service. Elle avait une relation secrète avec lui et suit d'abord son attitude froide et distante envers les patients. Pendant l'amnésie d'Andrea, elle souffre beaucoup et se rapproche de son collègue Lorenzo avec qui elle passera également une nuit. Elle tombera enceinte. Dans le premier épisode de la deuxième saison, elle tombe malade du COVID-19 et perd le fils conçu avec Lorenzo.
 Riccardo Bonvegna
C'est un jeune interne en médecine interne, très gentil et jovial, mais pas sans problèmes non plus. À la suite d'un accident durant son adolescence, lors d'une plongée, à la suite d'une embolie gazeuse, il a perdu une partie de sa jambe droite. Le seul qui connaît son état est Andrea — avant l'amnésie — puisqu'il a lui-même soigné le jeune Riccardo dix ans plus tôt et avait formulé le diagnostic qui lui a sauvé la vie, même s'il a dû se faire amputer la jambe. Dans le final de la première saison, il se fiance à Alba et dans la seconde, en raison de frictions avec elle, il flirte avec Caroline, bien qu'il soit toujours amoureux de sa petite amie.
 Marco Sardoni
Il est médecin et travaille dans le service de médecine interne. C'est un collègue et ami d'Andrea depuis de nombreuses années. Après l'accident, c'est lui qui a remplacé Andrea en tant que chef de service. Au cours de la saison, il s'avère qu'il est le véritable coupable de la mort de Giovanni Pavesi, car il lui avait donné le mauvais médicament en raison d'une erreur d'homonymie. Il sera ensuite arrêté dans le dernier épisode de la première saison en compagnie de sa femme, représentante de la société pharmaceutique propriétaire du médicament.
 Agnès Tibère
Elle est la directrice médicale de la polyclinique Ambrosiano. Elle est également l'ex-femme d'Andrea et la mère de Caroline. Dans la seconde saison, à cause de l'enquête sur la pandémie, elle est suspendue de son poste. Elle réintègre alors, en tant que médecin, son service d'origine, la neuropsychiatrie, avec pour chef se service Enrico.
 Lorenzo Lazzarini
C'est un médecin diplômé de médecine interne et collègue d'Andrea. Il a une sœur jumelle qui est atteinte du syndrome de Down. Il est jovial, sympathique, plutôt bel homme et populaire auprès des femmes. Lorenzo est amoureux depuis toujours de Julia et il aura une histoire avec elle — et elle deviendra sa petite amie — seulement au début de la deuxième saison quand, après une nuit passé ensemble, il découvrira qu'elle est enceinte. Il meurt pendant la saison deux à cause du COVID-19, laissant Julia et tout le service avec un vide immense.
 Elisa Russo
C'est une interne, spécialiste en médecine interne. Elle a une relation avec Gabriel mais leur relation traverse une période de crise, entre la fin de la saison une et le début de la saison deux, quand Gabriel lui annonce qu'il a décidé de rentrer en Éthiopie et qu'il refuse qu'elle le suive alors qu'elle était prête à le suivre. Ils se quittent au début de la deuxième saison mais se remettent ensemble à la fin de la deuxième saison et se marie.
 Gabriel Kidane
C'est un interne, spécialiste en médecine interne. Il est originaire d'un petit village d'Éthiopie. Il a appris l'italien en écoutant de la musique lyrique (son grand-père travaillait comme majordome auprès d'un officier de l'armée italienne en poste en Éthiopie pendant la seconde guerre mondiale), et c'est un grand passionné de ce genre musical. On découvrira qu'avant d'arriver en Italie, il a été enfermé dans une prison libyenne à la suite du piège tendu par la personne qui avait organisé le voyage. Il a une relation avec Elisa, qui, cependant, entre en crise entre la fin de la première saison et le début de la seconde. Au cours de la deuxième saison, il subit une période de forte stress psychologique provoqué par la pandémie. Un chemin de thérapie avec la psychologue Lucie Ferrari commencera, mais il n'apportera cependant pas les effets espérés et Gabriel fera une tentative de suicide. Il est sauvé in extremis par Maxime. Il reprendra la thérapie et en acceptant de dire la vérité, sa santé mentale se rétablira. Par la suite, il décidera de retourner en Éthiopie en acceptant la proposition de diriger un hôpital local, mais à la fin de la deuxième saison, il s'est rendu compte qu'il était toujours amoureux d'Elisa. Il reviendra par surprise à Milan et retrouvera Elisa. Le couple se marie à la fin de l'épisode qui conclu la deuxième saison.
 Alba Patrizi
C'est une jeune interne en médecine interne. C'est une jeune femme très douce, empathique et ce n'est pas un hasard si elle est, parmi les patients, une des plus aimés, mais elle est également très timide et introvertie. Alba avait d'abord commencé sa spécialisation dans le service de chirurgie, alors dirigé par sa mère (le Dr Fabrizia Martel), avant d'y renoncer en raison des pressions et des malversations de celle-ci, et préfère passer à la médecine interne. À la fin de la première saison, étant amoureuse de lui depuis longtemps, elle se fiance avec Riccardo. Elle meurt à la fin de la deuxième saison à cause d'une intoxication hépatique, causée par un antibiotique utilisé pour lutter contre une bactérie qui a infecté le service; malgré la fragilité, elle montre aussi beaucoup d'altruisme avec l'aide qu'elle apporte à Riccardo jusqu'à la fin et montre aussi une grande force d'esprit face à la mort.
 Caroline Fanti
C'est la fille d'Andrea et Agnès. Elle est étudiante en médecine. Caroline est en deuxième année d'université et vit dans un petit appartement à Milan avec une de ses camarades de classe. Après la mort de son frère, elle commence à souffrir de crises de panique et de boulimie. Dans la deuxième saison en pleine pandémie de Covid, elle obtient son diplôme et décide de se spécialiser en médecine interne mais pas dans le service où travaille son père. Elle arrivera quand même dans ce service, à cause du Covid-19 et sur décision d'Agnès qui ne voulait pas que Caroline finisse dans un autre hôpital. Elle tombe amoureuse de Riccardo mais ce n'est pas vraiment réciproque. Plus tard, elle commencera à fréquenter le chef de chirurgie Édouard Valenti, histoire qui se terminera à la fin de la saison en raison de la demande de ce dernier de l'aider pour ses problèmes de boulimie.
 Teresa Maraldi
Elle est l'infirmière coordinatrice du service de médecine interne. C'est une amie d'Andrea et elle épaule tout le service. Elle a trois filles, dont une avec des problèmes d'autisme et soignée par Enrico. Elle est séparée. Dans la deuxième saison, Teresa commence une relation avec Enrico.
 Enrico Sandri
Il est le chef du service de neuropsychiatrie de la polyclinique Ambrosiano, collègue et meilleur ami d'Andrea depuis de nombreuses années. Lors de la deuxième saison, il commence une relation avec Teresa.
 Cecilia Tedeschi
Doctoresse en virologie et chef du service d'infectiologie. Cecilia est une vieille amie et camarade d'université d'Andrea et d'Agnès, et pendant ces années elle était, et l'est toujours un peu, amoureuse d'Andrea. Ce ne sera jamais réciproque. Avec l'éclatement de la pandémie de COVID-19, Cecilia en tant que virologue acquiert une grande notoriété et une renommée internationale. C'est pourquoi Agnès lui la nomme chef du service de médecine interne. Dans l'ombre de tous cependant, Cecilia, aidé par Caruso, projette de le convertir en un service d'infectiologie. C'est cette circonstance qui poussera Andrea, une fois découvert les vrais plans de Cecila, à vouloir redevenir chef de service. A la fin de la saison, après avoir écarté leurs désaccords, elle aidera Agnès à piéger Caruso et à faire en sorte qu'Andrea revienne chef de service.
 Damien Cesconi
Nouveau médecin, originaire de Rome, qui arrive au service pour remplacer Lorenzo. Dès son arrivée, il commence à faire la cour à Giulia.
 Édouard Valenti
Nouveau chef du service de chirurgie après la mort du Dr Martel. Il va commencer à fréquenter la fille de Fanti, Caroline. En outre, il s'avère qu'il consomme des stupéfiants.

Pour cette raison, il sera arrêté dans le dernier épisode de la deuxième saison.
 Maxime Gentile

An Argument Against Open-File Discovery in Criminal Cases
Brian P. Fox
This Note argues that, for the most part, open-file discovery proponents fail to recognize the added burden that defense counsel would face under a regime in which all items of the prosecution's evidence are available for investigation by the defense. This is particularly true in the eighty to ninety percent of criminal cases where the defendant is indigent, and the court appointed defense counsel is operating under strict resource constraints.
This Note also argues that advocates of open-file discovery fail to recognize that in the majority of cases involving prosecutorial misconduct, the prosecutor's intentional wrongdoing will be sufficient to overshadow any reasonable amount of diligence performed by defense counsel.
This Note will contend that instituting an open-file discovery policy would only compound the problem of providing adequate representation to defendants. In light of the fact that the overwhelming majority of defendants are represented by publicly funded counsel, this Note will focus on the effects of open-file discovery to indigent defendants. Specifically, it will argue that any attendant benefits received by a single defendant under an open-file discovery regime would be largely outweighed by the costs to defendants as a whole and to the judicial system. This Note will demonstrate that the economic consequences of open-file discovery would be disastrous in the current judicial environment and would serve as nothing more than a shifting of burdens from the prosecution to the defense. The effect of this burden shifting would lead to more overworked public defenders and lower quality representation for indigent defendants. This Note will also demonstrate that in the cases often cited as the hallmark evidence showing a need for open-file discovery— those in which innocent defendants are convicted because the prosecution affirmatively fails to disclose exculpatory evidence—open-file discovery would serve no actual purpose in eliminating the prosecutorial misconduct. This Note will show that open-file discovery would cause more harm than good by creating a situation in which prosecutors could overwhelm defense counsel with evidence, either intentionally or unintentionally, and frustrate defense counsel's ability to locate and synthesize critical evidence.

KXDR (106.7 FM, "Now 106.7") is a commercial radio station in Hamilton, Montana, broadcasting to the Missoula, Montana, area.  KXDR airs a Top 40 (CHR) music format.  Both KXDR's signals started out as a simulcast of then CHR KDXT.  The translators then flipped to country as the station became Eagle 93.  The translator then broke apart in summer of 1999 flipping to Adult top 40.  Throughout the next ten years the station has had a CHR format meandering between an adult top 40, Rhythmic and Modern AC approach.  The station has carried Ryan Seacrest's AT40 program since it premiered in January 2004.  Until this year, the station also rebroadcast on a low-powered translator at 96.9 to cover areas of Missoula that cannot receive the 98.7 signal.

As of January 1, 2012, KXDR suspended its translator at 92.7 and moved its signal to 106.7.  The 98.7 signal flipped to sister station KBQQ's oldies format.  With the new signal at 106.7 the station now has better coverage of the Missoula valley.  The station still boasts as the only Top 40 in Missoula but competes against KENR & KKVU.

On January 19, to take part in the growing market for FM sports talk, Cherry Creek put a simulcast of K-GRIZ sports talk 1450 giving Missoula its first FM Sports talk station.

On November 4, 2016 KXDR rebranded as "Now 106.7".

Cote d'Ivoire military backs Gbagbo
Ivorian army reaffirms its backing of incumbent Laurent Gbagbo, who also continues to control the state's finances.
Residents looking at the covered charred body of an Ivorian soldier killed in the Abobo district of Abidjan [AFP]
The Ivorian military stands united behind Laurent Gbagbo, a spokesperson said, after a political ally of rival presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara warned foreign leaders may resort to force to oust him.
Gbagbo is under international pressure to quit after a November 28 election that major powers say he lost to Ouattara, deepening a dispute in the West African state that has already killed 50 people and threatened to rekindle civil war.
"There is no doubt about the cohesion as perfect brothers in arms of the security and defence forces," Babri Gohourou, a spokesperson for the army, said in an address on state TV late on Wednesday.
"[We] also reaffirm our unfailing attachment to the president."
The military's support for Gbagbo is seen as one of the reasons he is able to defy calls to step down.
The comment came hours after Guillaume Soro, the prime minister of Ouattara's rival government, said the "only solution" to the crisis was for world leaders to use force to oust him if other measures fail.
Gbagbo retains state purse strings
Separately, the state-run newspaper Fraternite Matin reported that Gbagbo's signature was still being recognised on state accounts at the central bank of West Africa's monetary union, despite African leaders officially recognising Ouattara as president-elect.
Ministers from the West African Economic and Monetary Union bloc are scheduled to meet later on Thursday in Guinea-Bissau to discuss the Cote d'Ivoire, a bank official told Reuters.
The United States, the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) have all recognised electoral commission results showing Ouattara as the winner of the election and have called on Gbagbo to step down.
The United States and the European Union have also since placed travel sanctions on Gbagbo and his inner circle, and the World Bank on Wednesday froze funding to the country, to which it has aid commitments of over $800 million.
Frozen ties
Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank, said on Wednesday that he had talked to President Amandou Toumani Toure of Mali about getting the bloc to also freeze loans to Cote d'Ivoire.
With the aid freeze and the risk that Gbagbo's signature may no longer be recognised on state accounts, some civil servants are worried their salaries soon won't be paid.
But the state-owned newspaper on Thursday quoted Gbagbo's finance minister as saying that, for the end of this month at least, they would be paid.
"Since yesterday, the salaries of officials and agents of the state of Cote d'Ivoire have been transferred into the different banks. Civil servants' salaries are not threatened," it said, adding that it would also be able to pay external debt.
"This credibility of the state's signature is a great source of motivation for traders and strengthens their confidence in our institutions."
Gbagbo has shown no sign of caving to the pressure and insists he won the election, after the Constitutional Court headed by one of his allies threw out hundreds of thousands of votes from pro-Ouattara constituencies.
The standoff turned violent last week after gun battles broke out briefly between government soldiers and the rebels who now back Ouattara, and residents of pro-Ouattara neighbourhoods have said masked gunmen are now breaking into homes by night and kidnapping people.
France concerned
The World Bank's move yesterday came against a backdrop of continued political tension. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, has urged French citizens to leave the country if they had the means to do so.
Francois Baroin, a French government spokesman, said on Wednesday that the country recommends that its citizens who can leave Cote d'Ivoire do so temporarily, citing "undeniable sources of worry" in the country.
At least 13,000 French people are currently believed to be in Cote d'Ivoire.
Ouattara was declared winner of the November 28 presidential runoff by the UN mission in Abidjan [AFP]
Gbagbo's demand that the UN and French peacekeeping forces leave the country remains in place, and on Tuesday he said that "the international community has declared war on Ivory Coast".
However, the UN Security Council has rejected his demand and, on Monday, extended the mandate for the force - known as UNOCI - for six more months.
UN peacekeepers are currently guarding the headquarters of Ouattara at the Golf Hotel in Abidjan.
'Real risk' of civil war
Earlier, Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, said that forces loyal to Gbagbo have tried to blockade the UN mission in Abidjan and that the country faces a "real risk" of returning to civil war.
Ban made the comments on Tuesday while briefing the General Assembly, and called on member states to prepare supplies to help the mission.
"The intention of Mr Gbagbo and the security forces loyal to him is clearly to blockade the United Nations peacekeeping mission and to suffocate the government of President-elect Ouattara," Ban said.
Ban has said UN role "is now even more critical'" for the stability of Cote d'Ivoire and the region.

Pie fillings come in many shapes, sizes and flavors, from sweet to savory. But in every presentation, crust is key. Whether you're making a 1-crust or 2-crust pie, it starts with making the best dough for the job. Susan Reid shows you how from her test kitchen at King Arthur Flour. Check out the King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook for more inspired ideas.
I made this pie crust twice. Haven't tasted the 2nd one yet, just came out of the oven. I followed the recipe precisely. Had the same problem both times and don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I roll it out, it cracks and crumbles and by the time I get it into the pie plate pieces are falling off the sides. Am I not adding enough water or too much? It was however absolutely delicious, but very difficult to handle.
I have been making pies for years and find it not necessary to weigh the ingredients because the fat flour ratio can vary with little or no effect on the crust. it's the water that is so important and no scale will help you there. Having said that, the scale is the baker's best friend.
Where do I find the spray bottle Susan used in this video?
I love this video! Susan is a great teacher, and I love all the tips. Thanks so much, I can't wait to try this recipe.
LOVE the video! Just kills me that as a fellow professionally trained chef, that you didn't weigh the flour! But I know why you did it that way. Btw, a cup of AP flour is 4.25 oz (you didn't specify AP flour...different flours have different weights). But don't let my attention to detail bring you down. EVERYONE, this is EXACTLY how it is taught in culinary school. Right on the money! Also, LOVED the tip about using the spritzer! Gonna use that now! Thanks so much for the AWESOME video!!! :) Happy Cooking!
Seeing the dough at the various stages was such a help. Really good video...having watched it makes it seem easy as pie! Only one thing...I do wish I could have seen exactly how people do that wavy crimp on the edge. Perhaps if she used a plain pie dish, she could have demonstrated that, but the fact that the dish she used itself had a crimped edge, the dough kept wanting to fall into the plate's own crimping pattern, and she didn't quite get to show it very well at all. Also I wanted to say, I tested out the weight of 2 cups of flour the way I usually dig my dry measure into the flour without fluffing the flour, as she said you should, and indeed, I had more flour than I should have had by weight for the 2 cups. No wonder my pie crust was too dry and crumbly when I started to roll out even though I used all the water recommended.
whew this was a great video for "Pie Anxiety" people like me--thank you!

Breonna Taylor: One Police Officer Involved in Her Killing Will Be Fired
Brett Hankison was one of three Louisville Metro P.D. officers to fire their weapons in her apartment on March 13.
NurPhoto/Getty Images
It's been over three months since three police officers entered 26-year-old Breonna Taylor's Louisville, Kentucky, apartment on a "no-knock" warrant and opened fire, killing her. Thus far, none of them has been arrested or charged for her death.
However, Mayor Greg Fischer announced on Friday, June 19, that the Louisville Metro Police Department is making moves to fire one of the officers, Brett Hankison. According to the Courier Journal, the LMPD interim chief wrote a letter to Hankison that outlined his violations, including departmental policies on the use of deadly force. The other two officers, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, remain on "administrative reassignment."
"I find your conduct a shock to the conscience," he wrote in the letter. "I am alarmed and stunned you used deadly force in this fashion. The result of your action seriously impedes the department's goal of providing the citizens of our city with the most professional law enforcement agency possible. I cannot tolerate this type of conduct by any member of the Louisville Metro Police Department. Your conduct demands your termination."
According to the paper, the "pretermination" letter will be followed up by a "termination hearing" expected to take place next week when Hankison can address the charges against him. There is no word yet on the date of this hearing.
Many on social media believe the firing of Hankison is not nearly enough in terms of justice for Taylor's death at the hands of the police and continued to call for the arrest of all three officers involved. "Good now let's charge him," one person tweeted. "Also: y'all need to say their damn names. Make it known. His name is BRETT HANKINSON [sic] and he is a murderer. Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove need to be fired and charged as well."
"Brett Hankinson [sic] being fired is bullshit," another wrote. "It's not even justice for the Breonna Taylor case they did it because he has an accumulation of complaints. The fact the other 2 officers are untouched shows they just did it at this time to try to appease people but it's not good enough."
At this point, the only person arrested over the events of that night was Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who was initially charged with attempted murder of an officer. The charges have since been dismissed.
Earlier this June, the Louisville Metro Council voted unanimously to ban no-knock warrants, naming the piece of legislation Breonna's Law.

One of the things I like most about MS CRM is that it has challenged me to learn a lot of other skills and applications that I might not have learned otherwise. My entree into Microsoft CRM was due to my experience with the web, marketing, and business process improvement. Since diving in, however, I have become the jack of all trades (though master of none) in things like ASP.NET (I'm working to learn C#), SQL Administration, Outlook and IE support, and -- the topic of today's blog -- Crystal Reports.
I must say that I have enjoyed learning to use Crystal and milking the data out of CRM in all sorts of useful ways. I have a hard time sitting and reading how-to books, though I've done some of that with Crystal. I am most comfortable learning how to use applications by experimentation, and scouring the internet for tips and tricks.
So, here's a tip I would like to pass on to someone else who is scouring the internet to try to figure this out in Crystal.
I had to build a series of reports for a client of mine whose reporting week starts on Monday and runs through Sunday. If they want to look at a report for an activity and select the records for Week-To-Date, Crystal 9 has a nice built in way to do this. You simply click on Report > Select Expert and add a new selection criteria. You select the field you want to check against and then an operator like "is in the period" and choose the WeekToDateFromSun option. This is great. There is also a LastWeek option.
There you go. Hope you find this helpful in your next Microsoft CRM project -- or any project using Crystal Reports.
I am using the cross-tab expert to create a table of values based on dates.
How can I change the weektodatefromsun summary so that it displays it starting on Monday instead of Sunday ?
Any ideas on the question posted by the previous person? i am also using a crosstab report and I am using Crystal XI.
This was really useful but, how can I make a report to show all the dates of the current week?
