Judi Dench movies: 12 greatest films, ranked worst to best, include 'Shakespeare in Love,' 'Philomena,' 'Notes on a Scandal'
Tom O'Brien, Chris Beachum
In this fall's delightful documentary, "Tea With the Dames," Dame Judi Dench, who celebrates her 84th birthday on December 9, 2018, recalls being asked to play Cleopatra in London's National Theatre production of Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra." Her response: "Are you sure you want a menopausal dwarf to play this part?"
Well, this menopausal dwarf has done pretty well for herself in an acting career that has lasted over half a century. For her film acting alone, Dench has been nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning one for her supporting performance in 1998's "Shakespeare in Love." She also earned nine Golden Globe noms for her film work (including a win for 1997's "Mrs. Brown") and three for her TV work, including a win for 2000's "The Last of the Blonde Bombshells." She has also received 13 nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Award, winning twice (for "Shakespeare in Love" and 2000's "Chocolat"). And if that wasn't enough, she won a 1999 Tony Award for her performance in "Amy's View."

At 84, Dench isn't even close to hanging up her acting career. In two weeks, she will again grace the nation's movie screens, this time as Anne Hathaway, wife of William Shakespeare (Kenneth Branagh) in Branagh's film of "All is Lost." And in 2019, she will reunite with Branagh for Disney's "Artemus Fowl" and will prowl around the soundstage as Old Deuteronomy in Tom Hooper's film of the long-running musical "Cats."

"FULFIL THE NEW STANDARDS – OR GO ELSEWHERE"
Norway takes the lead in reducing environmental impact from cruise ships.
Av Mona Maria Løberg
25.01.2019 12:25 | Sist oppdatert: 21.11.2022 11:43
2018 seems to be the year the wind changed direction for cruise ships sailing in Norway. A number of national and local regulations affecting cruise destinations in the homeland of the northern lights, midnight sun, fjords, and glaciers will undoubtedly change the business. The facts are as follows:
May 3rd, 2018: The Norwegian parliament decided that all cruise ships in the Norwegian World Heritage fjords -Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, and Aurlandsfjord – have to be emissions-free to air and sea as soon as possible and no later than 2026. The new regulations not only include the time the ships are at anchor or at quay, but also sailing in and out of these fjords.
October 24th, 2018: Norway's largest cruise harbor Bergen, with more than 300 yearly harbor dockings, followed up the government's decision – the city council of the World Heritage city has decided that Bergen will aim at achieving similar goals as the World Heritage fjords. In the near future, the city will have electricity from the national grid available for three cruise ships. The city will also limit the harbor to receiving three ships and 8,000 passengers per day, and an Environmental Port Index (EPI) will be implemented in 2019 that will differentiate port charges for cruise ships according to environmental impact. Other Norwegian harbors are due to follow in Bergen's footsteps.
November 13th, 2018: Oslo followed up the World Heritage fjords and Bergen by inviting a number of major cruise destinations in Norway, including Kristiansand, Stavanger, Ålesund and Trondheim, to establish the same standards, aiming at emissions-free ports as soon as possible and no later than 2026.
"Our hope is that the new regulations from Norway, being a leading international operator on the cruise market scene, will make shipowners and the cruise industry change to more environmentally friendly technology," said Synnøve Kvamme, county secretary of the Bergen office of the Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature/Friends of the Earth Norway. "In a few years, either ships will have to choose other destinations or fulfil the new environmental standards."

If you're looking for a nice weekend getaway from Bangkok that would be good for the family and provide you the chance to bring your bicycle along than you should head northwest to the Dan Chang district of Suphanburi province.
Situated on the border of Suphanburi and Chai Nat provinces you'll find a lovely lake/reservoir area known as Bung Chawak Chaloem Phrakiet (บึงฉวากเฉลิมพระเกียรติ), or simply Bung Chawak (บึงฉวาก).
Bung Chawak has several attractions along its eastern road, and the entire lake can be circumnavigated by bicycle if you're needing to get in some peaceful kilometers. The whole route is 15.4 kilometers if you stay on the road directly adjacent to the lake.
Bung Chawak area has many restaurants and, of course, resorts in the nearby area in order to accommodate the many visitors to the Bung Chawak Zoo & Wildlife Management Center, Vegetable Park, and world-class Aquarium.
FaceBook user ดอน กฤษณะเศรณี took this great photo on a stretch of the road that circles the Bung Chawak area. Not sure why there are specified ride times painted on the bicycle lanes as we've seen cyclists using them at all hours of the day.
The area is beautiful and the cycling is peaceful and scenic but whatever you decide to do in Bung Chawak I would certainly recommend that you make the time to visit the aquarium, or Underwater Sea Paradise as it has been named.

Nurul Ain, Mohamed Razali (2014) Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of Cu/ZnO/SBA-15 for hydrogen of carbon dioxide to methanol. PhD thesis, Universiti Malaysia Pahang.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas that causes global warming. The conversion of CO 2 into methanol (CH3 0H) is an alternative to the costly geological and oceanic CO 2 sequestration. CH30H is an important feedstock in the chemical industries and known as an alternative fuel. The catalytic CO2 conversion and CH30H space time yield (STY) is however reported to be considerably low. It is therefore of importance to develop novel catalysts with improved properties for catalytic growth. Santa Barbara Amorphous 15 (SBA-1 5) with highly ordered hexagonal structure, uniform pore diameter ('-'5.5 nm) and particle morphology, thicker wall-thickness (3.0 to 5.0 nm), high surface area (585.20 M2 /g) and high thermal stability was successfully synthesized by the conventional method without hydrothermal aging process. The synthesized SBA-15 was used as catalyst support. A number of monometallic and bimetallic catalyst of copper (Cu) or/and zinc oxide (ZnO) supported on SBA-15 were synthesized by simple reflux method. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared catalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H 2-TPR). The best amount of 5 wt.% Cu and 15 wt.% ZnO supported on SBA-1 5 designated as SCull 5ZnO/SBA-1 5 was found to effectively catalyze the hydrogenation of CO 2 to CH3 011. The best process conditions for CO2 hydrogenation to CH30H over 5Cu/15ZnO/SBA-15 were found to be the reaction pressure of 4.0 MPa, the reaction temperature of 250 °C, and the reactants total gas hour space velocity (GHSV) of 2400 h' that resulted to 22.9% and 11796.8 mmol kgcat' h' of CO2 conversion and CH30H STY, respectively. A reaction mechanism of CH 30H synthesis route and reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction on CulZnO/SBA-15 was proposed, based on the experimental results obtained in this study. The calculated activation energies of CH 30H synthesis and carbon monoxide (CO) formation were 35.29 kJ/mol and 68.02 kJ/mol, respectively. The CO2 conversion and CH30H STY were stable during 24 h of reaction on stream and no obvious deactivation was observed. The higher catalytic activity obtained over the novel SCu/l 5ZnO/SBA-15 catalyst can be correlated to the high dispersion of Cu and ZnO on the SBA-15 surfaces, creating greater amount of Cu-ZnO active sites, which are necessary for CH30H synthesis route. The deposited ZnO migrationon the Cu surfaces was found to deactivate the RWGS reaction to form CO; and therefore increasing the CH30H selectivity.

Complex mosaic of digital services
During our long-term mutual cooperation with O2 dating back to 1999 we have successfully brought a large scale of digital services. From the B2B portal for company customers, to www.o2.cz website presentation, great entertainment on web and mobile phone through O2 TV and the loyalty program O2 Extra výhody (Extra Benefits).
Managing mobile services The complex portal allows thousands of company customers to manage their mobile phones, tariffs and much more.
Digital television Thanks to the web and mobile application for both Android nad iOS, O2 TV offersuser access to entertainment from anywhere.
Website and loyalty program We are authors of www.o2.cz website, including full integrations of internal systems and the loyalty program O2 Extra výhody (Extra Benefits) available on several platforms.
Telco Web Solutions Mobile Applications Client Portals Internal Applications Online Player
Discover the Whole Story
"What I appreciate most about our long-term cooperation is the open communication and the fact that we are able to establish collaboration within teams on the level of specific people and not just on projects or roles. This enables us to continually develop O2's websites and mobile applications and successfully face the myriad challenges of digital transformation."
Aleš Krejčí - Digital Innovation Manager
We transferred the selected websites we administer to our new jNetPublish Next Generation content management system.
Kreslicí plátno 1
We launched the O2 TV mobile application for Android and iOS, which led to a massive increase in the number of users of this service.
mobile-fake-svg
We successfully connected our systems to the Simple Online Company (SOC) project that unified all IT systems and their migration to O2's administration.
"It's the most extensive program in the history of the company. We've never done something so big," O2 IT head Michal Dvořák said.
2016 saw a series of significant changes including a redesign of the website and the mobile application. We also participated in a massive integration project that connected the firm's phones to a new logistics system. We continually develop our One Portál project and launched the O2.cz Business segment in LifeRay.
Etnetera mobile developers successfully took the O2 Extra Benefits application under their supervision for the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone platforms. They revved up development and merged the entire O2 Extra Benefits ecosystem, including the website, mobile website, mobile applications, and B2B applications, combining all the solutions so they benefit from the synergies created by the tools and integrated communication.
"I don't see Etnetera as a supplier, or an agency, but as a member of our team: a reliable, responsible, and stable member; one who's an expert in their field and can manage all the work without the hassles of an agency; one who always tries to help when help is needed."
Jiří Caudr – Online Channels Director
We launched O2 Videotéka (O2 Video Library) and O2 TV Go (live broadcast of TV channels with support for mobile devices). The project was demanding because of integration of internal O2 systems with the key platform at the Czech nangu.tv provider, which mediates content for O2 TV and is the license holder of all DRM-protected streamed material. Together, we built a portal that provides services on several platforms (websites, mobile web pages, smartphones, tablets). The Play Framework was used for development together with the Scala programming language (also chosen by the likes of Twitter or Foursquare for their solutions), and it deploys MongoDB and Redis for data storage. The complete solution therefore provides comfortable and fluent browsing throughout the movie catalog for all users, even under heavy loads.
"Etnetera is a partner I can always turn to and rely on. We really feel as if we're part of a single team when working on our projects. Our work is so fruitful that not only does it grow our online business, but I grow personally as well. We always find something we can do for www.o2.cz!"
Aleš Krejčí – Online Development Manager
We also take on a smaller project, Phone booth adoption, where people can use personal messages to please their loved ones, and we make a financial contribution to the Linka bezpečí helpline.
We deployed our Soyka personalization tool in the O2 Extra Benefits program, allowing users to choose from benefits that are the most attractive to them and users with similar tastes.
We cooperated with Datart to create a robust B2B portal for O2 corporate clients in record-breaking time. It was used to purchase not only phones and SIMs with calling plans, but also products such as laptops, tablets, modems, and other accessories. The portal also offered services like transferring SIMs, porting from other operators, claims, loyalty point payments, and many others. O2 used the portal to replace outsourcing these services to external partners and as a move towards full automatization. Despite the extensive integration needed, the basic version was developed in only 3 months.
We also introduced Adobe Search and Promote on the www.o2.cz website. Our online solution for O2 Extra Bonuses, the most successful loyalty program in the Czech Republic, allowed users to redeem benefits using any online channel (SMS, website, mobile website, mobile app), which is its key technological and competitive advantage.
The O2 Extra Benefits solution won first prize in the Telecommunications and IT category at the Internet Effectiveness Awards. A year later, we celebrated success in the same category, this time with our successful implementation of the Soyka personalization tool.
We introduced IPv6 website operations, launching a new www.o2.cz website. A 30-member team worked for 8 months to develop the presentation using technologies state-of-the-art for the time, such as CSS 3 and HTML 5. We also eliminated the use of Flash. The website ran on the newest version of jNetPublish and integrated many third-party solutions (chat, forums, data from CRM/ERP, SSO). Two years later, we began integrating the ATG e-commerce platform. Although it was an extremely demanding project in terms of coordination (inputs from several parties, integration testing, etc.), it was completed on time at the required level of quality.
We worked on Nadace O2's (O2 Foundation) successful Think Big program, which provided financial support to social projects implemented by young people. The key part was the backend, which provided an intricate workflow to hundreds of programs.
We launched the first version of the 02 Extra loyalty program, a predecessor of today's well-known Extra výhody (Extra Benefits) program.
We tried our hand at being a moving business, transferring servers from Vidoule to Nagano.
We also helped build a new press center, which 02 still uses today.
Things were going very well with our two major customers. Then Telefónica entered the Czech market, which meant rebranding the Eurotel and Český Telecom websites.
We had a single partner once again and we worked to converge all the solutions supplied to Telefónica O2, which was a difficult test of both project management and software development, but the effort yielded success.
Eurotel made up too much of our business, which left us uneasy. We sought other clients and in 2004 we competed for a contract to handle the Český Telecom website against two dozen competitors. Our jNetPublish brought us victory again and we then transformed a total of 3,000 PHP pages in two language versions.
In 2002, we succeed in a tender to develop the www.mobilgo.cz page in a Java CMS with pages designed by Siegel and Gale. Our CMS gives us the boost we need to win the administration of www.eurotel.cz and we embark on an era that sees the successful completion of dozens of projects… Many of us still have the Go Ježíšku Go theme music in our heads today.
In 1999, we won a tender to produce a private website for Eurotel's major key accounts numbering over 3,000+ customers.
We ventured into wap pages and prepared our first mobile website for the Nokia 7110 phone. We also operated the Mobiljuice.cz mobile platform.

IBM i Groups Cautiously Adding In-Person Events To Schedules
February 8, 2021 Alex Woodie
Nearly one year after the novel coronavirus reared its nasty head in the United States, shutting down large swaths of the economy and forcing hundreds of millions of people to shelter at home, there is the hint of a glimpse of a ray of sunshine: The possible return of in-person events in the IBM i community. Maybe, anyway. Or maybe not.
While nothing is certain in these unprecedented, topsy-turvy times, it appears that several IBM i groups are planning to host physical events where actual humans will be allowed to congregate with other humans for the purpose of learning about the platform, furthering their careers, and partaking of the general camaraderie that often occurs at the intersection of work and play. Or, at least they're hoping to host them.
For example, COMMON is currently planning to hold "hybrid" conferences later this year, including NAViGATE 2021 in Columbus, Ohio, in May and the POWERUp 2021 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in October. These events are scheduled to have both online and in-person components, allowing folks who are ready to venture out into the real world to do so, but also accommodating those who would prefer to participate via the Internet.
The idea is to serve both types of members: those who want to meet in person and those who want to stay online, according to COMMON president Gordon Leary.
"We know a portion of our membership wants to only attend in-person, and we know that a portion of our membership wants to attend only virtually," Leary says. "So we are doing what we can to meet the needs of both those audiences."
COMMON President Gordon Leary is hoping to host two hybrid events this year.
Last year, COMMON was forced to cancel its POWERUP2020 conference — twice, in fact — and had to quickly pivot to online events. That "trial by fire" gave the Chicago, Illinois, organization hard-won insight and experience into how to craft a compelling online event. Just the same, there's a certain degree of "Zoom fatigue" setting in, and folks are itching to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
With its new hybrid format, COMMON is once again venturing into unknown territory, but the group is confident that it can pull it off.
"The hybrid conference experience will bring together our virtual audience and our in-person audience together in a cohesive event," Leary says. "This will mean that sessions that are being presented live and in-person will be simulcast to a virtual audience so that everyone is watching, interacting, and consuming the content at the same time. We are building in specific events for specific audiences so that everyone gets to network, continue to learn from each other, and ask questions of our expert speakers."
Several other groups are planning in-person events. The Northeast User Groups Conference (NEUGC) is planning to hold its 2020 conference June 1 through June 3 in Framingham, Massachusetts. The Vermont Midrange User Group (VTMUG) is planning to hold its Sixteenth Annual Technical Conference on October 7 in Burlington, Vermont.
MAGiC (also known as the Mid-Atlantic Group of IBM i Collaborators) is also planning to host an in-person event at some point this year. The group actually held its annual meet-up in last October by observing strict health protocols and limiting attendance at the Virginia Beach hotel where it was held. MAGiC president Laura Hamway is confident that the group will be able to hold another conference this year (although it might not be this fall, due to a conflict with the POWERUp conference).
"Our November conference went very well," Hamway says. "The open-source focus and our small breakouts and seeing the same application in three languages was very well received. We may not do our November conference. We are looking at possibly doing something early June, focusing on the same format as last time."
Southern California's IBM i user group, OCEAN, is currently planning to hold its annual summer conference as a virtual event. However, there's a possibility that TechCon21, scheduled for July, could have an in-person component, says Margaret Matthews, OCEAN's conference chair.
"If it's possible to add an in-person component, we definitely will," Matthews says. "I'm optimistic that we will be able to have a monthly meeting or special event by the end of the year."
COMMON Europe President Ranga Deshpande says in-person meetings are the "crux of the community."
Across the pond, Common Europe and other European user groups have also been moving forward with scheduling events for 2021.
According to the Common Europe website, the group appeared to be planning to hold its annual Common Europe Congress (CEC) 2021 as an in-person event this June at the Legoland Billund Resort in Denmark. But according to Shrirang "Ranga" Deshpande, the president of Common Europe, CEC 2021 will not take place as an in-person event.
"Our event will fully take place and alas, it will not be in person," Deshpande tells IT Jungle via email. "The speed, or do I say the slowness, of vaccinations the world over is not at all in phase with the pressing needs of businesses."
The June event will go forward as an online event, according to Deshpande. He also added that the CEC 2021 event will be delayed until this autumn, and that it will take place as a hybrid event, with both online and physical components.
In-person events are the "crux of our community," Deshpande says, and Common Europe is eager to host them again. "That's where they exchange their concerns and issues with their peers and obtain tried and true answers."
However, the dangers that large gatherings of people pose will prevent Common Europe from holding in-person meetings for now. The good news is that, like COMMON, the European user group has found success with virtual events. Last year's vCEC, Deshpande says, was very well attended, with 700 registration and 550 actual attendees, who provided detailed feedback as to their interest.
"We are now concentrating on these topics in our vCEC on-line 2021 in June and the hybrid event in autumn," Deshpande says. "The virtual event will have short sessions of 'practical education of immediate use' and big interactivity, in continuation with our 2020 vCEC."
Flexibility will be key in 2021. (Image courtesy COMMON)
There are other in-person events currently planned in Europe, including the i-POWER Midlands 2021 conference. i-UG, which is the UK's largest IBM i user group, is currently planning to hold this event on March 18 in Wolverhampton, the UK, as a hybrid event that's half in-person and half on-line. i-UG is also gearing up for an in-person only event, its International i-POWER 2021 conference, which is scheduled to take place June 8 and June 9 in Northampton.
It is one thing to plan an event, but it is something else entirely to actually pull it off. If 2020 taught us nothing else, it taught us the need to maintain flexibility, especially in scheduling events. Despite the breathing room that COVID-19 vaccines are giving us and the possibility that large segments of the population could be vaccinated by the second half of 2021, it remains just that: a possibility.
COMMON's Leary is cognizant of the need to maintain flexibility in the face of continued uncertainty.
"We are closely monitoring all the factors that may affect the event, including vaccine rollout, local restrictions on large gatherings, and any travel restrictions that our attendees might face, and adjusting accordingly," he says. "Beyond local restrictions, the attendance of the events will also be constrained by company policies on whether or not their employees can travel. This affects not only attendees, but also speakers and our vendor partners. So, there's a lot of variables in play, and we're planning, monitoring and will continue to adjust as needed."
If you have an update for your local user group, you can let the IT Jungle team know by dropping us a line.

Well, I finally got around to creating a blog. Here it is, isn't it amazing and insightful? I didn't think so either, but it is Sunday and nobody else seems like doing anything, the dogs don't even feel like chasing the cats!
A day of relaxing is a nice change though, yesterday I rode 27.5 miles on my bike, up and around griffith park, climbed 2538 feet. It was a good ride, went over the top to Los Feliz, met up with Chris, then rode back to the top. Instead of coming back down again, we took the road that heads off to the east. Unfortunately it is closed off, most likely due to the fire last year and the rains afterwards. The road had washed away in a few places and there was dirt and sand covering the rest. About three quarters of the way down we saw a security guard, and while our sense of adventure was willing us to continue, are lack of wanting to receive a ticket was stronger and we ended up turning around and heading back up the hill. We then took an alternate trail down to the old Zoo and then headed home. Las weekend we went around the San Gabriel Dam, I'll post those pictures and ride later.

What's Up? (Dec. 26-Jan. 1)
Waiting for a Flight
It was a bad week for anyone with a flight to catch. With staff shortages partially driven by the spread of the Omicron variant, many airlines began canceling flights the day before Christmas, and the cancellations continued during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. The airlines shoulder some of the blame. While they had begun to fill out the ranks that were thinned early in the pandemic, they have yet to restore their prepandemic work force. Even with all the cancellations, airports were busier than they've been since the pandemic began. But the number of people screened at airport security checkpoints around Christmas was still down 18 percent from a comparable period in 2019, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
A Change for Sick Workers
In an effort to ease some of the staffing shortages affecting airlines, retailers and other industries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some infected Americans could leave isolation after five days, half as long as the previous recommendation. The agency cited science showing that the coronavirus is most contagious one to two days before an infected individual develops symptoms and two to three days after. Some unions have expressed concern that workers could be pressured to come to work sick, especially those whose employers do not provide paid sick leave.
Waiting for a Verdict
After the nearly four-month-long trial of the Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, jurors ended a sixth day of deliberations, with no indication of when they might return with a verdict. They are scheduled to return on Monday. The key question before the jury is whether to believe the prosecution's argument that Ms. Holmes "chose fraud over business failure" or whether Ms. Holmes acted in good faith — that she believed in her start-up's blood-testing technology and that its failures were not the result of malicious intent.
What's Next? (Jan. 2-8)
Returning to Wall Street. Someday.
One of the most consistent themes of 2021 was companies setting dates for workers to return to the office only to have the dates postponed and postponed again. Wall Street banks were a notable exception, until Omicron and a surge of cases in New York led many banks to tell employees who had been working at the office to return home. Goldman Sachs, however, stepped up its vaccine and testing requirements instead of sending employees home. It announced plans to test workers on-site twice a week starting on Jan. 10 and mandate boosters for eligible employees starting Feb. 1. Some large employers have held off on imposing their own vaccine mandates as legal battles and the rising number of virus cases have complicated their plans. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on Friday on the Biden administration's vaccine mandate.
New Year, Same Inflation
As we head into a new year, inflation continues to rattle the American consumer. With the higher prices coming at the same time as the spread of another coronavirus variant, the economic recovery is no longer certain, with many events canceled and venues closing. The conventional wisdom, that inflation would be short-lived and would lessen as factories reopened and supply-chain issues resolved, appears to be less and less likely. The Federal Reserve, which has bolstered the economy since early in the pandemic, has signaled that it will pull back some of that support in 2022 and that it could raise interest rates several times next year in an attempt to cool inflation.
New Year, New Treatments
The Food and Drug Administration recently approved two new treatments for Covid-19, from Pfizer and Merck, though both are reserved for high-risk individuals. Pfizer's Covid-19 pill, Paxlovid, is approved for patients 12 and over with medical conditions that put them at a higher risk for severe disease or for patients who are vulnerable because of their age. Merck's treatment, molnupiravir, is approved for vulnerable adults who have no other treatment options. While the Pfizer pill appears more effective than Merck's, it's likely that the Pfizer treatment will be more difficult to obtain. The company, which has enjoyed tremendous success with its vaccine, is expected to provide enough Paxlovid pills for 265,000 Americans before the end of January.
Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of conspiring with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to recruit, groom and sexually abuse underage girls. Apple closed about 20 of its retail stores after a wave of Covid-19 cases among employees had left the stores unsafe and understaffed. And supply-chain woes have come to the nursery.

C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community
By: Diana Pavlac Glyer
Narrated by: Bev Kassis
Length: 10 hrs and 1 min
Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Entertainment & Celebrities
The Literary LIves of the Inklings: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams
By: Philip Zaleski, Carol Zaleski
Narrated by: John Curless
C. S. Lewis is the 20th century's most widely read Christian writer and J. R. R. Tolkien its most beloved mythmaker. For three decades they and their closest associates formed a literary club known as the Inklings, which met weekly in Lewis' Oxford rooms and a nearby pub. They read aloud from works in progress, argued about anything that caught their fancy, and gave one another invaluable companionship, inspiration, and criticism.

Planet Narnia
The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis
By: Michael Ward
Narrated by: Nigel Patterson
For over half a century, scholars have labored to show that C. S. Lewis' famed but apparently disorganized Chronicles of Narnia have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's Faerie Queene. None of these explanations has won general acceptance, and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery.

The Discarded Image
An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature
By: C. S. Lewis
Narrated by: Richard Elwood
The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval worldview, providing the historical and cultural background to the literature of the middle ages and renaissance. It describes the 'image' discarded by later years as "the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science, and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe". This, Lewis' last book, has been hailed as "the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind".

C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings
Narrated by: Michael Ward
C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Inklings met each week to read and discuss each other's work-in-progress, offering both encouragement and blistering critique. How did these conversations shape the books they were writing? How does creative collaboration enhance individual talent? And what can we learn from their example? Bandersnatch offers an inside look at the Inklings of Oxford, and a seat at their table at the Eagle and Child pub.

The Making of a Legend
By: Colin Duriez
Narrated by: Simon Vance
J.R.R. Tolkien's creations, imagination, and characters captured the attention of millions of readers. But who was the man who dreamt up the intricate languages and perfectly crafted world of Middle-earth? Tolkien had a difficult life, for many years: orphaned and poor, his guardian forbade him to communicate with the woman he had fallen in love with, and he went through the horrors of the First World War. An intensely private and brilliant scholar, he spent over 50 years working on the languages, history, peoples, and geography of Middle-earth,

Mini Habits
Smaller Habits, Bigger Results
By: Stephen Guise
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

A Secret History of Christianity: Jesus, the Last Inkling, and the Evolution of Consciousness
By: Mark Vernon
Narrated by: Mark Vernon
Christianity is in crisis in the West. The Inkling friend of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, analysed why. He developed an account of our spiritual predicament that is radical and illuminating. Barfield realized that the human experience of life shifts fundamentally over periods of cultural time. Our perception of nature, the cosmos, and the divine changes dramatically across history.

The Inklings
C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Their Friends
By: Humphrey Carpenter
Narrated by: Bernard Mayes
During the 1930s at Oxford, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams - remarkable friends, writers, and scholars - met regularly to discuss philosophy and literature and to read aloud from their own works in progress. Calling themselves the Inklings, their circle grew. It was in this company that such classics as The Lord of the Rings, The Screwtape Letters, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first found an audience.

Deeper Heaven
A Reader's Guide to C. S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy
By: Christiana Hale
Narrated by: Timothy Stephenson
C. S. Lewis' Ransom Trilogy, better known as "the Space Trilogy", is a much-neglected and yet critically important part of Lewis's works. It has captivated and bewildered readers and listeners since its publication, and though hundreds of books about Lewis have been written, few seek to navigate the maze that is Lewis' "space-travel story". These books are a distillation in novel form of one of Lewis' favorite subjects, a subject whose melody is woven into almost everything that Lewis ever wrote: the medieval model of the cosmos.
Informative Inspiration
By Jon Klassen on 07-15-21
The Company They Keep is the first and most complete examination of the Inklings and their close literary collaboration. C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien met each week with a community of fellow writers at Oxford in the 1930s and 1940s, all sharing their works-in-progress. Diana Pavlac Glyer invites readers into the heart of the group, examining diary entries and personal letters and carefully comparing the rough drafts of their manuscripts with their final, published work. She discoveries not only demonstrates a high level of mutual influence, but it also provides a lively and compelling picture of how writers and other creative artists challenge, correct, and encourage one another when they work together in community.
The book is published by The Kent State University Press.
Winner of the Imperishable Flame Award for Tolkien Studies and the Mythopoetic Society Scholarship Award

What listeners say about The Company They Keep
To have such Friends!
I must admit I've never read or seen more than 10 minutes film of any author in this book. Just not much into pointy eared things running around forests.
What did endear me to this book was the respect and reverence of many of the authors and what was behind their success.
Diana Pavlac Glyer must be exhausted to have gone thru the many thousands of hours research to write such a cogent story about friendship.
What further moved my senses was the silken voice of narrator Bev Kassis that just pulls you into the story. It makes you feel like you are in England sitting next to the fire in a red leather chair having a good hand rolled cigar while one after another stands to read parts of their stories as the ice melts in your glass. It makes you not want to leave your chair to go to the bathroom when they painfully tell each other truthfully how bad the writing was.
This is the sign of true friendship that endures forever... the good and the bad and all the ugliness!
A must read for anyone that has an "inkling" of wanting to write. Defiantly in my top 10 and I will probably listen to this book at least a couple more times this year. I think I might have to get a hard copy also...
worthwhile
Surprised that it kept me engaged. Convincing evidence but more so the dynamics of the group


Over the past three years, businesses have scrambled to hire data scientists who can spin big data into gold. But it turns out the person best equipped to get data analytics applications into production may be a good data engineer.
Suddenly, everybody seemed to either want to hire a data scientist, or wanted to become one. The race to recruit and retain the vaunted unicorns boosted salaries into the $200,000 for experienced data scientists, while universities shifted their data scientist programs into overdrive. If big data analytics could unlock new levels of profitability and efficiency, we all thought, then data scientists held the keys.
At least, that was the conventional thinking. The thing is, that view of the world may no longer correspond with reality. Signs are beginning to emerge pointing to the popping of the data scientist bubble. Big data analytics remains too great to pass up, but what's changing are the titles of the personnel who can guide us to the big data promised land.
While highly skilled data scientists remain at the top of the big data food chain, it may be the versatile data engineer who's poised to have a bigger impact on a company's data analytics aspirations. Increasingly, companies are turning to data engineers to help them build and run big data platforms.
A data engineer is the all-purpose everyman of a big data analytics operation, working between downstream analysts on the one hand, and upstream data scientists on the other. They will often come from programming backgrounds, and are experts in big data frameworks, such as Hadoop. They're called on to ensure that data pipelines are scalable, repeatable, and secure, and can serve multiple constituents in the enterprise.
Sean Kandel, the CTO and co-founder of data transformation startup Trifacta, noticed an uptick in interest around data engineers. "I'm definitely seeing that title pop up more, and seeing more postings for it," Kandel told Datanami.
LinkedIn currently has nearly 21,000 postings for jobs with "data engineer" in the title, compared to just over 11,000 for jobs with "data scientist" in the title.
Indeed.com shows more than 90,000 hits for data engineer jobs, compared to about 11,000 for data scientist.
Dice.com has more than 13,000 postings for data engineer, while only about 500 for data scientists.
CareerBuilder.com has fewer than 1,000 postings for data scientist positions in the past 30 days, compared to more than 16,000 for data engineers.
Data engineers are instrumental in rolling out data analytics applications, Kandel said. "They help facilitate getting data from a variety of different sources, getting it in the right formats, assuring that it adhere to data quality standards, and assuring that downstream users can get that data quickly so they can perform whatever downstream tasks that is, whether reporting or exploratory analytics or, in the case of a data scientist, it might be building a new models or a recommendation algorithm," he says.
Data engineers are not merely watered-down data scientists, doing the grunt work that data scientists don't want to do. Rather, the two positions complement each other, Kandel said.
Data engineers form the backbone of the team of big data professionals at Think Big Analytics, a 75-person services firm that was bought by Teradata last week. While the company has its share of data scientists who know R and SAS and can build complicated models, it's the data engineers who create the foundation for the work, according to Ron Bodkin, founder and CEO of the San Francisco-based company.
The demand for big data analytics services is huge at the moment, but the new technologies and skillsets involved so far have proved difficult for traditional systems integrators to master. Teradata bought Think Big Analytics after struggling to create its own services team to fulfill demand for consultants who can build big data analytics applications.
Could the Data Scientist Be a Bad Thing for Big Data?

Indian film actress from Hollywood, Amy Jackson is excited about working in Shankar's direction. Spilling beans about Vikram's Ai Amy Jackson says, 'It is a breakthrough in my career'.
So-far, Amy has done the roles of a half-Indian girl, while Diya of Vikram's Ai is an Indian girl. "I call it a breakthrough film because my character in the movie, Diya is challenging and helped me push my boundaries. I've many Tamil dialogues throughout the film.", Amy Jackson said.
About her experience in working with Shankar, Amy said, "Vikram has a change in looks in every single movie, coming to Ai, he has so many different looks. Both of us naturally wanted to give our best, it is unbelievable that we did experiment. But at the end of the day, Shankar was the one who moulded us into what he wanted," She added.
"We travelled all over China and India for Shankar's Ai and it is briliant for me to work with the ace filmmaker in just my third Tamil film. Biggest challenge is Ai was in production for two long years and I've not done any other movies as Shankar's movie is biggest film of my career and I wanted to dedicate myself completely to it." She added.
Speaking about her co-star Vikram Amy says, "Vikram is an inspiration and he is in a league of his own. Vikram has been in the industry for 20 years and plays a completely different role in every film. I don't even think of competing with him and it may take 10 years down the line to start competing him."
Amy Jackson is busy reading new scripts and the diva says she is keen to do action films. "I want my next film to push me again. I've some exciting scripts in my hand and I'd love to do an action movie next," Amy concluded.


Under the direction of Druxus Rhym, these amulets are created by the Red Wizards of Thay and are sold in their enclaves across the realms. Cheap and easy to make, this magical protection from certain elements is a huge source of profit for the enclaves.
Said to have been created by the hand of Lathander himself, these amulets shine brightly with divine power. The divine light streaming forth is said to paralyze or even destroy the undead.
Natnea Chesh was one of the first priestesses of Kelemvor in the Moonshae Islands, and became known as "The Defender of the Dead", when she helped stop a necromancer from raising an army of undead. As a gift for her heroic deeds, Kelemvor gave her this amulet, along with the secret of making copies for other clerics dedicated to the destruction of powerful undead creatures. Many a thief has since found these items to be invaluable in their line of work as well.
When old age forced his retirement from combat, the warrior Telenn became a tutor instead, instructing local youths in the fighting arts. His longtime interest in magic was rekindled and, as his skills improved, he began creating these amulets to prevent his students from injuring themselves. Eventually his work became so good that he gave up the quiet life and resumed adventuring, amulets in tow.
Ger'baza was an ancient lich who sought more power than a mortal mind can fathom. Fusing captured souls to make the Amulet of Power, Ger'baza was amazed at his own success and created countless variants. Common sense, however, failed him; while attempting to wear all of the necklaces in unison, Ger'baza was quietly erased from existence. The amulets miraculously survived.
The mysterious semi-secret society called the Harpers makes these amulets for their senior members. The amulets are fashioned from silver that has been magically treated to give it the hardness of steel and grant the wearer several magical protections.
Ciressa Gind'ra was a mage who infiltrated the Night Masks for the Harpers, before she was found drowned in a two-inch puddle outside her residence. To infiltrate them, Ciressa created an amulet that allowed her to mimic the abilities of a master thief. One night she used it to break into the Night King's private quarters. She didn't anticipate the Night King's personal guard, who had a permanent detect magic spell surrounding the room. When the Night King was finished with her, he took the amulet, and since it had qualities useful for any adventurer, he made copies of it, which he sold throughout the land.
These necklaces are occasionally distributed among the faithful by powerful temples, to protect them in holy missions against the undead. Necklaces of this type are usable only by non-evil clerics and paladins. Amulets of this type are most commonly found in use among followers of Lathander, and these pendants often bear the symbol of the Morninglord.
When Jacin Maltis, a petty lord in Sembia, paid for the crafting of an amulet to increase his health, he expected a tasteful necklace with a small, but precious gem mounted in it. When he placed the necklace around his neck and the diamond turned a gaudy blood red, he refused to pay the wizard who created it. The wizard simply smiled, and loosed a spell that instantly destroyed the noble. Copies of this amulet were found circulating months later in the distant city of Waterdeep.
Jeraboam Cantor, a high ranking Harper, commissioned the creation of these amulets to help protect the minds and secrets of Harper spies. Unfortunately, Jeraboam was one of the first Harper spies caught wearing one, and when the amulet was removed, the bard's weak willed mind revealed everything he knew.
Anagrys Brightbrass and her companions enjoyed a long and successful career hunting the monstrous aberrations that dwelt in the regions around the Great Rift. With Anagrys' magic and her allies' combat prowess, the Great Rift was made safer for the gold dwarves and their human neighbors. Even the best adventurers eventually run out of luck, though, and so it was with Anagrys and her companions. The group tracked a raiding party back to its lair and what they believed to be its illithid master. What they didn't realize until far too late was that the raiding party's master was actually an alhoon, a terrifyingly powerful undead mind flayer far more potent than they had expected. Outmatched, the adventurers were stunned and devoured one by one - all except for Anagrys.
Perhaps because of her arcane prowess, Anagrys was captured and sold to a duergar slave master, who brought her in a large caravan to the Northdark. Anagrys was bought at auction by a drow wizard from Ched Nasad, who forced her to expend her magic and, ultimately, her very soul in the crafting of magic items. Anagrys died just a few years after being taken, but according to legend, at least some small portion of her soul passed into the slave collar that had been the symbol of her wretched existence for the last years of her life.
This item is a three-inch-diameter gold disk with the holy symbol of Arvoreen inlaid in platinum. It grants the wearer the ability to cast aid six times. It cannot be used by an evil creature.
Amulets are necklaces with some form of large decoration or symbol. Most are ornamental, but some are potent magic items.
After making an infernal pact that cost him a finger, but gave him rulership over his tribe, the kobold warlock Sholsarrath thought he was on top of the world. He had the chief eating out of the palm of his hand, the fairest daughter of every family in the tribe as a wife, and all the food and treasure a kobold could ask for. Unfortunately, Sholsarrath's style of 'rulership' was geared more toward immediate personal gratification than the greater good of the tribe, and eventually there was talk of revolution. Even if the shaman had the power to regenerate wounds, surely if enough axes were applied with enough vigor that problem could be solved.
Locked in his sanctum while the revolutionaries outside bayed for his carcass, Sholsarrath once again summoned the demon Yargulbuzul. The imp again promised aid, but said that this time the price would be higher - namely, a foot (precisely why this imp had a predilection for the anatomy of the common kobold remains a mystery to sages across the Realms). Desperate to avoid the fate of so many hedonistic monarchs, Sholsarrath agreed. The demon chopped off his left foot and hung it from a string, fashioning a crude amulet which was given to the shaman. Thus armed, Sholsarrath threw open the door to his sanctum and assaulted the would-be revolutionaries, his terrible, desiccated foot spitting arcane power from each clawed toe. The conspirators were terrified, and the revolution quickly died along with its leaders.
When worn, the dull gray stones on this otherwise unremarkable necklace begin to glow and sparkle with an inner light. They remain cool to the touch, however, betraying their illusionary origins.
Once its true nature has been perceived, this necklace appears as a golden chain from which hang a number of golden spheres. The spheres are detachable by the wearer, who can easily hurl them over long distances. When a sphere arrives at the end of its trajectory, it bursts into a magic fireball.
Different spheres do different amounts of damage. The more damage a sphere deals, the bigger it is.
Many such devices have been created by wizards across Faerûn, and this particular device bears no distinguishing marks to identify its creator.

Several of these necklaces of magically hardened and preserved ice were created by a half-mad sorcerer who wandered among the Ulutiun tribes of the Great Glacier.
The necklace mounts four transparent acorn-sized crystals. The wearer can detach a crystal and hurl it at a distance. When the crystal reaches the end of its trajectory, it explodes into a storm of ice.
This slender chain bears a luckstone pendant of rough polished agate. Such stones come from the halfling homeland, Lurien. "The luck of the hin" is said to have rubbed off on the rocks and grants the luck to the bearers of such trinkets.
This amulet is inscribed with various arcane symbols representing the powers of the mind: willpower, swiftness of thought, and perception.
When Szass Tam was a living mage, he faced a competitor who was famous for his skill at evocation. Not wanting to be outdone by someone from another school of magic, Szass Tam came prepared to the duel. He threw twelve fireballs in a row, much to the consternation of his opponent, who came ready to face the powers of a necromancer. When the Necklace of Fireballs was used up, Tam began to actually cast his own spells, while his opponent had already used most of his up.
These necklaces are occasionally distributed among the faithful by powerful temples, both to reward their followers and entice new members to join. Necklaces of this type are usable only by divine spellcasters, including rangers and paladins as well as clerics and druids.
Although it appears to be a simple pearl on a light chain, a Periapt of Wisdom is a powerful item. These items improve perception and insight, and are often used as meditative tools by high-ranking clergy of a faith.
This slender silver chain bears a medallion in the shape of a dung beetle.
The dung beetle was originally a holy creature associated with the Mulhorandi sun-god Ra due to its tendency to burrow a solar-disk-like circular hole in dung. These creatures' likenesses were often used for the holy protective charms known as scarabs. Since Ra's demise in the Orcgate Wars, his successor Horus-Re grants these totems their protective powers.
A scarab is a stone amulet carved in the shape of a stout-bodied beetle. This particular example shields the wearer's person inside an invisible barrier. The strength of this barrier is determined by the power and skill of the creator of the item, and varies with each specimen. Scarabs are of a far southern design, though the original source is lost to history.
These sinister talismans border on the power of artifacts. Only an evil being may wear one, and even the most evil finds his dark soul being twisted and honed by the device as it turns him more and more fiendish with every passing day. Examples of these items appear in many different forms, suggesting multiple creators at different points in history. They are thankfully very rare.

Only a good creature may wear one, and even the most beatific finds his soul challenged and refined, as the device makes him more and more righteous with every passing day. Examples of these items appear in many different forms, suggesting multiple creators at different points in history. They are unfortunately very rare.
Prized almost universally by clerics of every deity, these rare amulets are said to bestow a god or goddess's favored gaze on the user, granting them additional spells and divine protection.
Everyone said that the bard Ysridain's ability with a lute was exceptional, but a few maintained that it was something more, something supernatural. After Ysridain's death at the hands of a jilter lover, the people of Waterdeep learned just how true those rumors had been. Early in his career, Ysridain realized that his physical beauty was far greater than his talent with music. He was a gifted musician, but he knew he would never be legendary unless he had assistance. Ysridain contracted a wizard to summon forth a powerful demon so the bard could negotiate a pact with the forces of darkness. A succubus answered the call. She agreed to inspire Ysridain with creative forces beyond his understanding. In exchange, upon his death, all that had resulted from her inspiration and Ysridain's soul would be hers.
Ysridain thought on this for a short time and eventually agreed to the succubus' deal. The succubus occupied a pendant that Ysridain wore around his neck. It had the effect of inspiring the bard to great musical deeds, but it also created intense physical lust. When Ysridain died, the bard's soul was swapped into the amulet and the succubus was released into the world. If the amulet ever shatters, Ysridain's soul will be dragged straight to the lower planes. Until then, Ysridain's succubus roams Faerûn searching for the children sired by the bard's lust.

Francesco Rosi to be Honored at Indiana University Film Symposium
On January 10, 2015, the world said goodbye to one of the most innovative filmmakers it has ever seen, Francesco Rosi. Sadly, he was to make a visit stateside in April where he was to be honored as this year's artist in residence at Indiana University's annual Symposium on Modern and Contemporary Italian Cinema.
Born in Naples on November 15th, 1922, director, Francesco Rosi studied law but always had a passion for film. In 1948, he put his law degree aside and leaped into the film industry as an assistant for the legendary director Luchino Visconti. Four years later in 1952, he debuted as a director with his own film, Camicie Rosse (Red Shirts). It proved to be a successful debut and caught the attention of international audiences. However, it was his 1958 film, La Sfida (The Challenge) that solidified his place in the industry as a director and paved the way for more politically driven films with strong social statements.In a career that has spanned more than half a century, Rosi has made less than two dozen films.
When asked why he wasn't more prolific in his filmmaking, he had this to say: "It takes time to pick the subject I wish to deal with and the way to do it. The films that I have made stem from my own urges, ideas and proposals. It takes time to decide on a subject for a film that is going to take one and a half years of your life to make." Perhaps that is why his films are so intense and filled with passion and meaning. Let's take a look at a few examples.
Made in 1962, Salvatore Giuliano is the tragic true story of a Sicilian peasant whose social status led him to become an infamous bandit. He has been just as controversial in death as he was in life. He's been compared to Robin Hood, as he was known for helping poor villagers by taking from the rich. Rosi told his story in an epic film that showed the harsh realities of a peasant and the plight to preserve one's pride and acquire the basic needs for survival. The story in Rosi's film takes place right after the liberation of Sicily. Never before was Sicily represented in film with such exact realism and attention to detail. This stems from a fair and historic judgment of the Giuliani case on Rosi's part.
Inspired by true events, Cristo si è fermato a Eboli (Christ stopped in Eboli) is the story of Carlo Levi, a painter and doctor ordered into forced residence by the fascist government of 1935, and sent to a remote village in Basilicata. The 1978 movie was adapted from a novel written by Carlo Levi himself, and shows the desolate land and simple living by its inhabitants. When Levi got off the train, he was shocked to see such a culture still existed. It seemed time had stopped hundreds of years ago. But he adjusted to their way of life and used his skills to make their lives easier. Although the plot is driven by political events, it's a story about human struggle and how one man can make a difference.
Tre Fratelli (Three Brothers) is a touching story covering three generations. When Donato, an elderly peasant, is left alone in his farmhouse after the death of his wife, he telegraphs the news to his three sons, who have all moved to different cities for work. Upon learning the sad news, the three make their way home to meet at the farmhouse. The night before the funeral, they all stay up to talk about their memories, their fears, their dreams and their lives as adults. The film was made in 1980 and the conversation between the brothers focuses on contemporary issues, so it really offers a glimpse into life in the south during that time. Tre Fratelli earned an Academy Award nomination in 1981 for Best Foreign Film.
Master Class with Giuseppe Tornatore and Francesco Rosi at 2013 Taormina Film Festival
In the last years of his life, Rosi showed no signs of slowing down. He was a regular at film festivals around the world right up until the end- whether offering his expertise as he did when he teamed up with director Giuseppe Tornatore for a "Lezione di cinema" at the 2013 Taormina Film Festival or when he was honored at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival where he received the Golden Bear award for Lifetime Achievement.
Watching a Francesco Rosi film is like traveling back in time. His work offers rare insight into the lives of his characters in circumstances often based on or inspired by real life events.

How many times have we heard how the Pats had nobody to streach the field, take the top off? They bring in Josh Gordon, who stood no chance of making it, we all knew this.
While all along there was this guy....

Yes. There are threads for basically every player ever drafted (if not several of them) and quite a few players who were free agents as well.
Most won't have threads as epic as Christine Michael but they have a thread.
The Shark Pool is a collection of folks looking for information and opinion about players, and how that relates to fantasy football. There are very few stones upturned. Any player worth their salt usually has a thread dedicated to them before the NFL draft, sometimes a year or two before that.
Ever drafted? Like way back when?

Q: How to show the last row of a query instead of all the rows happened in a duration? I use the following query to find who are active in my website (10 seconds) from table a and to display the last page (currently in) from table b, I put a 5 inutes duration. The problem is that in some cases, if browsing is faster than 5 minutes, it will display more than one page.
What I want is to show the output on a per user basis but also to show only the last opened page.
How to do this?
SELECT a.code, b.code, b.page
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.code= b.code
WHERE a.last_active >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 10
SECOND AND b.timestamp >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE
ORDER BY b.timestamp DESC

A: Just join the a table only with the corresponding last result in the b table. There is no point get a.code and b.code in your main SELECT part as they should be the same. For every record in table a that was added within last 10 second you get the related most recent record from table b withing the last 5 minutes.
SELECT a.code,
(
    SELECT page FROM b
    WHERE b.code = a.code
        AND b.timestamp >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE
    ORDER BY b.timestamp DESC
    LIMIT 1
)
FROM a
WHERE a.last_active >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 10

A: The query below will return the last page for each active entry in the last 10 seconds
SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT a.code, (SELECT b.page from b where a.code= b.code and b.timestamp >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE ORDER BY b.timestamp DESC limit 1) lastPage
    FROM a
    WHERE a.last_active >= NOW( ) - INTERVAL 10 SECOND
) as sub where sub.lastPage is not null

Q: Which non-Abelian finite groups contain the two specific centralizers? - part II This is a question requiring the good knowledge of group theory:

(Q1) Which finite groups $G$ contains some specific centralizers isomorphic to both of these two groups (but may contain other centralizers NOT isomorphic to these two groups):
i. the elementary group $Z_2^4$, and
ii. the $H_8 \times Z_2$

-

(Q2) Which finite groups $G$ ONLY contain specific centralizers isomorphic to these two groups (but contain NO other centralizers isomorphic to anything else):
i. the elementary group $Z_2^4$, and
ii. the $H_8 \times Z_2$

where $H_8$ is the quaternion group with the order of $|H_8|=8$ (be an Hamiltonian). Here $Z_2$ is the cyclic group of the order $|Z_2|=2$ .
Let us consider the $|G|$ be as small as possible. Your answer only needs to provide just AN example, the order of the group G and its all centralizers.  (NO need to be complete.) :o)
see also this.

A: The comments suggest that you mean only centralizers of involutions. Even in that case, no finite group $G$ can have only the two involutionn centralizers you suggest, so Q2 seems to have a negative (or empty) answer.  One involution centralizer must contain a Sylow $2$-subgroup. Hence the Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$ must have order $16$. But the elementary group of order $16$ and the $H_{8} \times Z_{2}$ are then both Sylow $2$-subgroups of $G$, a contradiction, as they are clearly not conjugate.
