The website rtve.es/milmujeres is an interactive initiative created after intense research work to document who were the women murdered due to gender-based violence in Spain and how they used to live before being killed by their partners since the official records exist (January 1st, 2003). The objective of the project was to make the victims visible and to document their lives from a new perspective, avoiding to portrait women's deaths, but putting the focus on the sorrows of the murderers.
The website impact of the has reached 45.000 unique users and 70.000 website visits so far. It has also transmitted on air to more than 1.530.000 people. The social media impact was huge, more than 140.000 impressions of the first tweet and more than 45.000 reproductions of the first video of the project. It has won the Silver and People's Lovie Awards. It has also been awarded with one of the most prestigious laurels in Spain about gender violence: the "Journalism against machismo" award of the Ministry of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Equality of the Government of Spain. It also received the IV Journalism against Gender Violence Awards Fundación Grupo Norte.
Therefore, as a part of the initiative users who have known the murdered women can participate in this tribute to the victims and collaborate in the documentation work of the project by sending a message through whatsapp. The response was unprecedented. There was a flood of new messages, providing new data, congratulating for the initiative, or sending us photos and audios explaining how the women murdered was like.
The news of the one thousand murdered was frontpage of all the media and our company broadcast features about our project in TV and Radio news programs. It was a chance to offer quality content and complete the story with all the feedback that we got from the relatives.
More than 20 people, including journalists, developers, designers, data analyzers and tv directors, have worked together to create one of the most ambitious database about the violence against women in Spain, describing life details of all the official victims in our country.
The archive of RTVE, the official records of the Government about this kind of violence, the local newspapers and the judicial sentences were just some of the sources used to develop a database of the project.
The data was extracted from an extensive database in which we crossed both information from the Spanish Delegation for Gender Violence and records from the Spanish Women's Institute (all those cases prior to 2006 come from there), as well as other reference sources such as ibasque.com or femicidio.net. It was used some data analysis and visualisation tools such as Flourish for creating the graphics and chronologies. The design and format of the website is and original creation from the LAB Rtve.es and the website development is also created from scratch with code.
Some of the technologies used are React, Node JS and Excel.
The hardest part was to recollect all the details and personal info about the victims, and to develop the biggest, updated and more complete database about gender violence in Spain, better even than the official one.
From LAB RTVE.es, the innovation department developed this project with two goals: help prevent this kind of violence, show that there is not a specific profile of women who is victim to it, and repair the memory of the victims by giving the families the chance to pay homage to them. For that reason, this is an interactive project that aims to explain who these women were and how they lived before being victims of gender violence in Spain, with the help of the audience by trying to break the silence around a type of crime that can´t be considered private violence anymore.
It is also an innovative project because it has been implemented by user generated content. The feedback of the relatives of the victims was essential for the project and that's why we opened a phone number to get in touch with them by whatsapp messages and voice notes. The call to action was pushed by off line TV and Radio shows and it let us to get a lot of quality feedback to improve our database, after we verificate the information we got through the whatsapp.
The other big goal was to talk about what happens after the crime. The perpetrators who took their lives do not fit any profile, they do not share any social or economic traits. Therefore, we underline their names, their prison sentence and the financial compensation they had to pay to their families.
People can get conscious, raise awareness and help in prevention of this gender-based violence. In addition, finding statistical patterns to this social scourge by reviewing the data by community, province, age of the victims, as well as the origin of the aggressors can bring a new way of understanding this crime with more context and from a different perspective.

How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Have Broken Royal Wedding Protocol
The Dukes of Sussex have changed the dynamics of royal weddings with a celebration full of unique and revolutionary details.
by	Borja Santos
Inter-cultural
Since last Saturday, royal wedding protocol has been changed forever, and it could only have been done by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, actress and declared feminist.
The British monarchy has always been known for its sobriety and tradition, seemingly unshakeable over time. However, this modernisation has not only come about with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding, Prince William and Kate Middleton have also been part of it, both in terms of their public and personal life.

1. Meghan walked down the aisle alone
The tradition of the father accompanying his daughter down the aisle is a very well-followed tradition. Reason being because, years ago, daughters belonged to their parents and weddings served as a passover of ownership from one man to another.
Meghan saw no issue with walking half way to the altar alone. With her father needing to work on his health, he couldn't walk her down the aisle. Instead she walked in front of ten bridesmaids and page boys; Meghan personally asked Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, to walk her half way. A gesture that it is said he was pleasantly surprised by.
2. Multicultural wedding
Due to the restrictive tradition of some previous monarchies, normal situations in real life were unthinkable in the universe of royalty. Until now, of course. Before, royalty was not expected to marry away from the nobility; Meghan Markle goes much further. The mother of the Duchess of Sussex, Doria Ragland, African American and social worker, far removed from the high society that has always surrounded Harry, was one of the most relevant figures during the evening.

3. Speeches and music
The ceremony was led by three different pastors. To deliver the traditional ceremony, the manager was the dean of Windsor, David Conner, and the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, would be the officiant of the wedding vows. But the surprise came from the third pastor, Michael Curry, of Chicago and the first African-American bishop at the top of the Episcopal Church.
Bishop Curry was not only responsible for highlighting the importance of marriage between members of two different cultures, but he became a prominent participant in stressing the importance of love, the figure of Martin Luther King and gesturing intensely during his sermon, something African-American pastors are used to. All this was received with joy by the guests, along with the song 'Stand By Me' sang by the choir. A milestone for a British royal wedding, without doubt.
4. The "obey" is over
Before this Saturday, the royal wedding had hardly changed its content. While in the past the woman swore to "obey" her husband during the exchange of vows, on this occasion, the Dukes of Sussex chose to swear to "love, console, honour and protect" each other. Meghan Markle has always stood out for her activism towards gender equality and, of course, her influence had to be noted at such an important time on a personal and social level.
5. Guests of all types
Although at royal weddings there has always been a guest from the world of entertainment or sport (David Beckham is a regular), this time there has been a much greater range of people not frequent in royal circles. Among them, many actors and actresses close to Meghan Markle's 'Hollywood' circle, but also from the world of music or sport. Stand outs were, apart from the aforementioned Beckham and his wife Victoria, Oprah Winfrey, the tennis player Serena Williams, Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, George and Amal Clooney, James Corden, James Blunt and Idris Elba.
Although minor, these little details are important. William and Harry, along with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, are trying to change some outdated traditions of the Royal family. We are embarking on a future of change, not just in royalty but for society. We're excited, how about you?

The passing of the motion (to revive several bills from the previous Parliament) means that David Bahati, the legislator who tabled the globally infamous "kill the gays" bill will not require Cabinet's approval to table the anti-homosexual bill again.
The Ugandan Cabinet recently said that it had rejected the bill, tabled by as private member's bill. But Bahati quickly reminded Cabinet that they had no powers over his bill, because it was a property of the Parliament of Uganda, and not the Executive.
Under normal rules of procedure, Bahati should have presented his bill to cabinet first, and also to the Ministry of Finance to obtain a certificate of financial implications of what it can cost government is the bill is passed into law, before a re-tabling.
thanks for the update. one wonders how functional the ugandan parliament really is and who calls the shots. at this rate, homosexuality will be decriminalized in uganda (eventually) while bahati's bill lingers in eternal limbo.
Tens, perhaps hundreds, of millions at least. They have been warned that European financial aid will be withheld.


Wasn't very good in our area. I am sure over time Funk will have own germ plasm. Seemed liked this year they sold stuff they sourced from other companies that no one wanted. Maybe not. Also looks like they will hire anyone who can't keep a job with any other seed company to pedal their product. They have 4-5 salesmen within a 25 mile radius and among them are 30 year old people on their 4-5th jobs out of college already. Another kid selling would give anything to trade resumes with any of the previously mentioned as stuff he has done is unspeakable on this forum. Makes you a little reluctant to try until a little more proven.

The Lord of the Rings was a book I read repeatedly when I was a teenager, and in fact, the first full length book I composed was what we'd now call fan fiction of LOTR: I retold the story as a romance, with Arwen and Aragorn's story as its focus. What parts of this first "book" that were written down are long gone: a lot of it was composed in my head and memorized. I would review it as I rode the bus back and forth to my first job (It was a long bus ride.) and ultimately had my version memorized, just as a medieval troubadour would memorize his compositions. Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about troubadours then, much less their nifty trick of composing stories in rhyming couplets so they were easier to remember. Tolkien did, of course, which is probably part of the reason why this poem is composed as it is, and certainly why it's easy to remember.
As you can see, I decided to go with it. The second line is covered because it has my contact information, which is probably why Apple offers these lines of engraving. It was only after I received mine that I realized no one would see this engraving unless the iPad was lost.
What poem sticks in your mind? What was the first book that captured your imagination? Or better, what's engraved on the back of your iPad?

CG 🙂 Great minds are thinking alike here…!
Did that first full length novel of yours make it to print, Deb? I would sure love to read it. And yes I've been a Tolkien fan from a young age, and go back and read The Hobbit and LOTR every couple of years. I recently did a movie marathon of the hobbit and Lotr movies!
I need to watch LoTR. It's one of those movies I've been worried to watch, because I love the books so much. There was a movie in the 80's which was disappointing. Maybe it's time for a marathon of the new one!
Do watch LOTR, it's worth it to look upon Viggo's gorgeousness as Aaragon and Orlando as Legolas!!!!

"Empire" star Taraji P. Henson revealed Thursday on "The View" that she still speaks her disgraced co-star Jussie Smollett all the time. Further, she says there are no plans to kick him off the show, despite allegations that he faked an alleged hate crime against himself.
Many Americans will likely be outraged if Smollett returns to the show after pulling such a disgraceful stunt. Cook County prosecutors recently dropped 16 felony charges against him, even though there is a pile of evidence suggesting he is guilty.
Many people believe Smollett enjoyed "Hollywood privilege" after Michelle Obama's former chief of staff intervened in the case and contacted Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.
President Donald Trump recently announced that the FBI and DOJ would be investigating the handling of Smollett's case. Some even believe Foxx may have broken the law with her handling of the case. Foxx, however, has welcomed an outside investigation.
"FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago. It is an embarrassment to our Nation!" Trump tweeted.
Meanwhile, city of Chicago has sent a $130,000 bill to Smollett to pay for the expensive hoax investigation. Smollett has so far refused to pay up, so the city is going after the money in civil court.
Smollett should keep his attorneys on retainer. He's going to need them.

Q: XML File - Two versions - Same data - Attribute to Element + name change I will be receiving this two xmls
<XML>
    <Name>Test</Name>
</XML>

or
<XML1 Name1="Test">
</XML1>

I wanted to know if there is a way to handle the value for the element "Name" and the attribute "Name1" using just one variable.
I tried this but when I executed the serializer function (XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XML));) it fails at run time with this message:

"There was an error reflecting type 'XMLSerializerTest.XML'."

enter image description here
Using the XmlChoiceIdentifier didn't work, but I'm new to handling XML so there might be something wrong. At the end what I want to do is receive one format and be able to change to the other format. I wrote a simple example here but I want to propagate the solution across an entire project.
This is the class I created:
namespace XMLSerializerTest
{
    [XmlType("XML", Namespace = "")]
    [XmlRoot("XML1")] //This doesn't handle multiple root names
    public class XML
    {
        [XmlElement("Name")]
        [XmlAttribute("Name1")]
        public string Name { get; set; }

}

This is what I'm doing from Main to try and test it:
//This is the line giving the error I mentioned
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XML));
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("[FileLocation.xml]");
//Do something to change to a diff "format"
XML xmltest = (XML)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(sr);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("Test1.xml");
sw.Close();

A: First option:
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.LoadXml("<XML><Name>Test</Name></XML>");
string NameValue = document.ChildNodes[0].ChildNodes[0].InnerText;

Second option:
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.LoadXml("<XML1 Name1=\"Test\"></XML1>");
string NameValue = document.ChildNodes[0].Attributes[0].Value;

Third option:
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public partial class XML1

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute()]
    public string Name1
    {
        get
        {
            return this.name1Field;
        }
        set
        {
            this.name1Field = value;
        }
    }
}

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XML1));
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader("<XML1 Name1=\"Test\"></XML1>"))
{
     XML1 root = (XML1)(serializer.Deserialize(reader));
     string NameValue = root.Name1;
}

Fourth option:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public partial class XML

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XML));
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader("<XML><Name>Test</Name></XML>"))
{
     XML root = (XML)(serializer.Deserialize(reader));
     string NameValue = root.Name;
}

For the last two options, there is a little trick that will help you to automatically create classes based on your XML file.
If you are working on .NET 4.5 project(or newer), you can just Special Paste your XML file as classes.
 1. Copy your XML file's content to clipboard.
 2. In editor, select place where you want your classes to be pasted
 3. From the menu, select EDIT> Paste Special > Paste XML As Classes

Extru-Tech introduces new die/knife cutter system
Source: Extru-Tech, Inc.
By Pet Food Processing Staff
SABETHA, Kan. – Extru-Tech unveiled a new Self-Adjusting Die/Knife Cutter System, which can be used across the full spectrum of wear plates and reduces maintenance costs and downtime for processors, according to the company.
Norm Schmitt, corporate sales manager, Extru-Tech, said the system offers a cleaner cut than cast blade configurations because of its individually replaceable blades, which can be sharpened three to five times, as well as its "precision" pressure pack feature.
"Not only can they be re-sharpened, but the new blades have been reported to last from 2½ to 10 times longer than cast blades," Schmitt said. "This translates into lower overall cost, particularly when you consider the automatic adjustment feature allows one cutter head system to be used on multiple dies. The cutter assembly is easily secured and automatically set parallel to the wear plate with just one bolt."
The system is equipped with a self-leveling feature that allows it to accommodate non-perpendicular die stubs and improperly installed plates. It is sealed for wash-down and built with stainless steel bearings for durability. Additionally, the single cutting edge minimizes the risk of injury to employees.
Extru-Tech, Inc. is based in Sabetha, Kansas, and provides extrusion processing systems, ancillary equipment and customized equipment solutions for specialized processes for human food, pet food, aquatic feed and animal feed production.

Over thirty years after Maurice Blanchot writes The Unavowable Community (1983)-a book that offered a critical response to an early essay by Jean-Luc Nancy on "the inoperative community"-Nancy responds in turn with The Disavowed Community. Stemming from Jean-Christophe Bailly's initial proposal to think community in terms of "number" or the "numerous," and unfolding as a close reading of Blanchot's text, Nancy's new book addresses a range of themes and motifs that mark both his proximity to and distance from Blanchot's thinking, from Bataille's "community of lovers" to the relation between community, communitarianism, and being-in-common; to Marguerite Duras, to the Eucharist. A key rethinking of politics and the political, this exchange opens up a new understanding of community played out as a question of avowal.

When progressive companies began to experiment with telecommuting arrangements in the 1980's, many supervisors questioned whether productivity would decline. Jump ahead 35 years and we find that the naysayers were proven wrong. The old managerial dynamic of believing that close supervision is the way to achieve results no longer applies. Even if you work in an office, you likely also work from home. The dividing line between work and home has been forever blurred — for better or worse. These days, working from home is as ubiquitous as the cell phone.

ARTI FINANCE advises Turkish companies seeking commercial investment, finance for the expansion or opening of new facilities or credit for other commercial reasons. Our clients benefit from ARTI FINANCE's existing and constantly updated contacts and relationships with leading banks and finance institutions in Turkey and internationally. We assist the client throughout the process, from the preparation and presentation of documentation to the complex application, review and approval process.
In an age when onerous high-fee and long term credit instruments can cause significant financial problems for otherwise healthy companies, ART FINANCE is expert in arranging the lowest-cost finance at the best possible term according to the precise requirements of the client. Research in Turkey shows that 70% of newly-established companies are still operating after 3 years, just 50% after 5 years. And only about 10% of the survivors are able to grow. Examining those case studies, it is clear that almost all of these firms require more dedicated and professional financial advice and guidance.
One of the chief reasons for SME's to fall into difficulty is their inability to explain and present their expansion or investment plans, and their difficulty in locating professional finance experts to direct their relationships and dialogue with banks and finance institutions.
And the majority of firms that do manage to overcome this hurdle do not conduct professional price and cost analysis. Thus they fail to take advantage of the possibility of obtaining credit facilities at lower cost, lower commission and at more favourable time terms through lack of knowledge and expertise. And their increased finance costs decrease their competitiveness.
ARTI FINANCE takes your credit requirements to the appropriate institution and guides your company right through the process from beginning to end. With our accumulated experience, we locate the domestic and international banks, finance institutions and investment funds and provide the essential support to achieve your financing goals and the growth of your company.

That sounds interesting. I wonder if they will tackle the interracial kiss between Uhura and Kirk in TOS. It seems tame now, but when it aired, it caused quite a controversy. I didn't think it was something to get worked up, but my mom said that was really daring for the time period. Or Ellen coming out that led to her sitcom ratings dropping considerably.

The ratings drop may have been because she came out (I honestly don't know) - but I stopped watching because the show itself just wasn't funny anymore.
I don't argue with that point of view. I just remembered that episode where Laura Dern guest starred as the woman that kissed Ellen.

Probably not. Star Trek was scienceFiction/drama. They might cover the kiss on All in the Family the Sammy Davis Jr. gave Archie Bunker!

That being said, I am super excited for this series and cannot wait to see how they organize it. The episodes are centered on a theme, not a decade/era.
I like how they went through how important The Cosby Show was & then just gave a brief acknowledgement of what we know now. It pretty much stopped everyone from pointing their finger & going "but, but, but..."
So far I'm enjoying it.
Edited July 12, 2021 by GaT
Ha, yeah, the timing was definitely rather awkward for the discussion of that show. But I agree they handled it about as well as they could've, given the circumstances.
Looking through the episode on sitcoms about families, I've realized that my family seemed to gravitate towards the sitcoms that had more unconventional, realistic families. I've seen a bit of "Leave it to Beaver" and "Donna Reed" and all that, but yeah, those shows never reflected my family's life (hell, they didn't reflect my mom's family's life, and she was born in the '50s). "Roseanne" was probably the closest to the way my family lived, and it also resembled my friends' families as well. And I didn't watch "Married with Children" regularly, but I do remember seeing it from time to time when I was a kid, and I could see elements of families I knew in that show as well. Even "The Brady Bunch", as squeaky clean as it was overall, still had a family that wasn't the typical mom, dad, 2.5 kids setup. I'm glad that TV did eventually start to expand beyond the stereotypical nuclear family and acknowledge the other kinds of families that exist out there. It's good to see the variety and diversity, and it allows for a lot more interesting stories and character dynamics to play with as well.
I knew Reiner and Struthers weren't the first picks for Mike and Gloria on "All in the Family", but I hadn't realized they were the third picks. So interesting to see those very early pilots with the other actors they'd originally considered. It's interesting, too, that the topic of escapism versus touching on real world issues was just as relevant back then as it is now. Which makes it all the more puzzling for me whenever I hear people nowadays complaining about TV shows getting "too political" or bringing in all the real world problems that exist out there. I get wanting lighthearted, escapist fare, and we should have that, certainly...but some people seem to act like TV getting political is some kind of recent phenomenon, and it has me wondering how, if they're old enough, they managed to handle living in the time of Norman Lear sitcoms, or "Family Ties" in the '80s, or so on and so forth.
As these episodes proved, TV has always tackled real world issues and topics, and that formula has proved very successful for many of them in the process. Even escapist shows will still have their moments where the real world might creep in and they may touch on an important topic, even if only briefly. So it shouldn't be all that surprising that continues to be the case nowadays. I can understand critiquing the way some shows may address certain issues, sure, but some people seem annoyed that the issues are being discussed at all, and I just don't get that.
As for the second episode, indeed, it is wild to see how far we've come from the days of not being able to say the word "pregnant" or showing married couples in separate beds :D. Again, some good discussion here, too, about the importance of touching on issues relating to sexuality and representation, and educating people on important topics (that "Golden Girls" clip where they're discussing AIDS....dang), and how doing so can help shape public opinion and so forth.
Regarding "Soap", I know that that show had a LOT of interference from the higher ups throughout its run, because they were afraid of complaints from viewers and how this would affect the advertising and whatnot. I suspect that played a large part in how some of the storylines they did with Jodie turned out. As imperfect, to put it mildly, as the portrayal of his character was, though, I do agree that there were some good moments that came from storylines with him. They did a whole plot about whether or not a gay man should have the right to raise a child, and Jodie gives a really good speech in the courtroom about that.
And speaking of TV shows, I've only seen snippets of "Modern Family", but that scene with Cam and Mitch by the side of the road and both saying 'Yes" to each other was really sweet and got me choked up :). Aw.
Interesting start thus far! Looking forward to seeing what other topics this show will explore as time goes on.
The tricky thing about The Cosby Show was that it was MASSIVE, so there was no getting around discussing it.
Ugh, Family Ties. The premise failed so hard that the writers forgot the flower children parents/conservative kids premise and Michael J. Fox took over the show. That's just poor writing, no matter how much everyone liked Fox. He's one of my least favorite actors.
Awww....I actually like Michael J. Fox. Funny how this Canadian actor plays a Republican character. I didn't think that was possible, but Michael definitely made the show. There was an episode from 1987(?) where Michael J Fox talks to the audience and somebody from the background ask what his name was and he says it with such convictions. It's one of my favorite parts from that show. While Family Ties was either a love it or hate it show, I am just amazed at how many recognizable faces you could spot there. I mean, Courtney Cox, Anne Ramsey, MJF's wife, River Phoenix, etc...the list goes on.

I liked Alex Keaton while the show was on but can understand he can be overbearing when watching again as an adult. My favorite moment is his dance audition, an interpretation of Wall Street market; "this part is when it crashed." 😂
As for this topic, I like the first two parts and hope the rest of the episodes are just as good. There's nothing new but I loved seeing all those old clips. The first two Michael and Gloria for All in The Family was interesting. They showed a bit of the British version and I was hoping they'd do the same for Three's Company.

I was surprised they aired some of those clips uncensored in the 2nd episode. I know FX uses "fuck" a lot in their dramas but it caught me off guard hearing it here. It's still pretty rare for basic cable. (Not offended in any way, just surprised.)

Overall, I liked the first two episodes. There was a part of the episode on sex that didn't work for me. I don't understand why they jumped around going from Transparent (the early 2000s,) to Busom Buddies (the 1980s) to Three's Company (the 1970s). I understand wanting to show something modern in the first few minutes of the episode to hook a viewer, but I don't understand why they were doing it in the middle of the episode.
In case anyone wants to speculate on future episode topics that episodes will cover, I think that because Simpsons was not included in the episode on family, it will be part of an episode on animation. I'm pretty sure there's enough animated prime time sitcoms to fill an episode (Flintstones, Jetsons, Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, and others).

I respect that sentiment but I refuse to erase how big the Cosby show was, it's influence on pop culture, the tremendous work that was done on it, the careers it helped create and its place in tv history. The man as a human being is piece of shit for what he did. As a actor and creator he still means a lot. Sadly, it's why people will always defend him. But, I'm glad they approached it the way they did. Just talk about the show. I know the show is tied to the man but the show will always be important and never forgotten.
I loved these types of shows. It reminds of the I love 80s shows VH1 used to do. Just less snarky. Always fun though.

I used to love the Vh1 decades shows. If you aren't already aware, CNN has done multiple documentary series that are just as good as this one on Sitcoms. They did one on movies, a four part series on the year 1968, and multi-part documentaries on the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000-2010s.

I've been enjoying this series. Sitcoms are my favorite form of TV. Yes, the Cosby show was huge. I remember talking about it in middle school. I think the coverage of the CS was appropriate. It really had to be acknowledged in the history of sitcoms. I love catching up on old sitcoms on youtube that I haven't seen recently. I even like the cheesy ones like Small Wonder and Too Close for Comfort. At least they acknowledged Monroe on TCfC was obviously gay. He got awful storylines even though he had good chemistry with Ted Knight.

It was facinating that ABC in the 1970s, instead of trying to go after the audience/people who were watching CBS's topical Norman Lear shows, went in a totally different direction and created shows aimed at children and teenagers.
I was really curious to see if Cheers would be in the episode on groups of friends or the episode on workplaces. I could make a strong case for including it in either episode. What do you think about the decision to include it in the episode on groups of friends?

Makes sense to me. Workplace sitcoms tend to focus almost exclusively on the employees. Customers and clients are, at best, recurring characters. But on Cheers, roughly half of the main cast are regular patrons who hang out together, in and out of the bar. It's a fine line, though, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it shows up in the workplace episode, too.
Yeah, it's Cheers is more about friends to me. It's in a bar but not about the bar.
All of discourse about this most recent episode seems to be that Warren continues to deny ever ripping off Living Single by making Friends.
I honestly think both things have truth. NBC wanted a 20 something groups show like Living Single AND the show Friends is based on the lives of the creators.
I also do need the narrative about shows like Friends and Seinfeld being too white needs to go.
Marta is right. At that time, there was very little interracial storytelling. White shows were very white. Maybe they would have a token POC. The opposite can be said for shows with people of color. The only issue was how little diversity there was on prime time tv at the time. There is a reason why channels when they first started, went after the young demo and the black demo. Once a Different World was gone, shows for young people or POC on primetime was non existent except for Fox, UPN and WB. The latter of which everyone didn't have and had much smaller audiences.

I also thought there would be more on Cheers in the episode about sex. I was 12 when it began and frankly it was the first time I was exposed to an adult sexy relationship like Sam and Diane's, after years of adults acting like teenagers on Three's Company, etc.
Yes. That was one of the worst episodes ever.

On the topic of demographics, I'm amused by the fact that "Golden Girls" was written with the older, often forgotten viewership in mind, and Harris was wondering if the show would even be on the air...and yet many of its biggest fans are in the coveted 18-49 year old demographic, even to this day. How ironic.
Also, your mention of Norman Lear...gee, ya think he and Garry Marshall have/had any money :p? Good lord, the amount of classic shows they each have had under their belt are insane.
I was a bit surprised at first, too, but as they talked about the show, it made perfect sense. That was one thing I really liked about this episode, that they focused on friendships of all kinds and within all different age groups, they didn't just keep it to the hip twentysomething single adults living in the city. Friendship could be two divorced men, like Felix and Oscar, living together, or a group of women like the Golden Girls, or the study group on "Community" (so fun to see one of my favorite sitcoms mentioned here :D! I love the "Sam and Diane" discussion bit, especially when Annie asks Shirley who they are and she grumbles, "Okay, we get it, you're young!").
Appropriate time to talk about "Cheers", too, because I've been spending the last couple months finally delving into that series proper (I was very young when the show originally aired and had just seen clips and the occasional episode here and there), and yeah, it really does feel like the sort of place people can just hang out and get to know each other, sometimes really well, sometimes casually, the way adult friendships often tend to be.
I really loved Ted Danson talking about finding one of Colaasanto's lines after his death, and getting choked up as he did so. That was touching. And it's so wild to think about the fact that "Cheers" wasn't a big hit right out the gate-had NBC cancelled it, we never would've had Frasier or his spin-off, and who knows what could've become of the cast from there, where they would've gone. Funny how that stuff works.

I've only seen the first two episodes so far, but I'm really enjoying this show. I loved sitcoms when I was younger (I don't watch as many now), so it's been really fun to see clips from the some old favorites. It's also interesting to see how far they've come with important issues over the years. I know they've come a long way, but to see it all in a bunch of clips like that makes it almost shocking. My only complaint (and I know there are a ton of shows/scenes to choose from and they can't include them all) is that they didn't discuss the Designing Women episode where a young, 20-something man, a friend of the women and Anthony, asked them to plan his funeral because he was dying of AIDS. It covered:
How many funeral homes refused to take people who had died of AIDS.
When one of the women took his hand, he was shocked because people were afraid to touch him, including, I believe, some medical personnel.
One of Julia's glorious rants directed at a woman who said that they were getting what they deserved.
Mary Jo's wonderful argument at a school PTA meeting in favor of supplying condoms to teenagers.
It was quite a moving episode.

They at least included what I think is the funniest clip of the show - That is the dumbest thing I heard! You will study, you will clean your room, ...
I watched 3 so far. This is right up my ally. I love talking about how social issues influence pop culture (here, the sitcom) or if the issues are being brought up on the show influence our society. Clearly there's a feedback loop that flows in different ways depending on the era.
I don't think they gave Golden Girls enough time about that tbh. They covered a lot of interesting issues. Also, it's amazing how those actors had the timing of a Swiss watch - 'how do you know the fly was Spanish Dorothy?' 'Because he was wearing a sombero and a little mushtache'
Not really a Friends fan - but I have to call some BS on TBTPs. Fair, they copped to not being diverse enough. I get they started the show based on their real life experiences, and that's fine. However, by year 4 or so, when the show is a certified phenomenon, you kind of need to look around and take stock. Come on.
I thought it was interested in the transition from maybe early 80s into the 90s, you see less of the issues, and it's more self-centered and cynical. I don't begrudge Friends or Seinfeld their success, but they are self-centered shows. Then, we have the mid 2000s, and it's kind of swinging back.
I'm surprised It's Always Sunny wasn't included yet. I would think it would be in the 'friends' category.
I really like the content of the show but I don't like the way it is structured. The transitions and order shows are being discussed makes it feel somewhat disjointed. Like ending the last episode talking about diversity praising New Girl seemed bizarre after talking about the much more diverse Community.
I'm finding that I enjoy the parts about older shows more than the talk about more recent shows. It seems like some of the shows were only talked about because they had interviewed cast members. What was the point of even mentioning HIMYM when they didn't say anything interesting about it?

Yes. This could have been much more in depth. Twice the episodes.
I really like the content of the show but I don't like the way it is structured.
I don't like the editing. One actor says one sentence and there's a cut to someone else saying something else about a different topic. I'd like to hear an actor actually talk a little about their show and its context.
I don't think Community was much more diverse. Community is more interesting if we are doing the friends episode.
I don't really agree with the editing issues complaints. They are never going to go super in depth in these because there is way too much to cover.
A lot of these shows deserve a treatment like the toys/movies that made us series Netflix does. Cover them one at a time and cover their creation and impact.
The friends episode could of used another pass through though. It felt the most disjointed and searching for structure out of the episodes so far.

I feel that it was. A big part of that is that I have a real problem with how New Girl often handled their POC characters. Ending the conversation on race with the creator patting themselves on the back was a sour note for me. The places where they chose to be critical on social issues was really bizarre to me.

My issue with the editing isn't that they aren't going in depth but that they are doing a poor job of transitioning between show discussions.
In my opinion, the show is structured poorly. For example, we really didn't need to hear the plot description of HIMYM. It was wasted space that only seemed to be there because Alyson Hannigan was interviewed.
This was less of an issue in the first two episodes so I am hopeful it will improve.
"When you shave off the edges of the character, they become bland, and maybe that's why you haven't had a hit in seven years."
LOL, damn, shots fired, Diane English :D. Good lord, I get network executives are all about the bottom line and money and everything, but they really need to learn to chill from time to time and not freak out the moment they hear about a show that's a little outside the norm.
The way "Murphy Brown" addressed the Dan Quayle controversy was fantastic :D. I liked those clips from "Designing Women" regarding the Clarence Thomas hearings, too. Gosh, imagine that, TV shows taking on the politics and big issues of the day and making big storylines out of them. Who'da thunk? I also liked the point about how even young people who haven't fully entered the workforce yet can still relate to a lot of workplace sitcoms because they can relate to the whole thing of being stuck alongside people you may or may not like working with :p.
I felt they kinda rushed through the discussion of the '90s sitcoms a bit in this one, 'cause I can think of quite a few other sitcoms from that would've fit in this hour. "The Drew Carey Show" and "Frasier"-yeah, they balanced the work element with hanging out with friends or family, respectively, but still... "Wings" could've been a good one to mention, too.
And when it came to the '60s, we saw how "Dick Van Dyle" balanced the home and work sides, they could've mentioned "Get Smart" as an example of an episode that was pretty much straight up focused on the workplace most of the time. Yes, you got moments with the characters at home, but the vast majority of the show took place at their job. And it was such an unusual job as well, which could've made for some good discussion as well, in regards to the variety of jobs that were showcased on TV over the decades.

Yes, but he didn't just look old, he looked very different. His Wikipedia page shows a picture of him from 2011 that looks similar to now so he's looked like that for a few years
I feel like they did a better job letting moments and jobs breathe. There was also a better throughline from show to show. Of course, they missed a bunch of shows but that will always be the case.
I just watched this retrospective on the Cosby show yesterday. It was done on youtube but it was a very fair and detailed look at the series. It's creation, success, the backlash the show received at the time. The guy has done other shows.
FYI, CNN is doing a special on Sitcom theme songs. I believe it premiered yesterday or at least within the last couple of days; check your local listings for repeats

Q: Rewrite a group-by over a randomly-ordered sub-query using only one select Here's the thing. I'm having 3 tables, and I'm doing this query:
select t.nomefile, t.tipo_nome, t.ordine
from
(select nomefile, tipo_nome, categorie.ordine
from t_gallerie_immagini_new as immagini
join t_gallerie_new as collezioni on collezioni.id=immagini.id_ref
join t_gallerie_tipi as categorie on collezioni.type=categorie.id
order by RAND()
) as t
group by t.tipo_nome
order by t.ordine

It's applied to 3 tables, all in relationship 1-N, which need to be joined and then take 1 random result from each different result in the higher level table. This query works just fine, the problem is that I'm being asked to rewrite this query USING ONLY ONE SELECT. I've come with another way of doing this with only one select, the thing is that according to SQL sintax the GROUP BY must be before the ORDER BY, so it's pointless to order by random when you already have only the first record for each value in the higher level table.
Someone has a clue on how to write this query using only one select?

A: Generally, if I am not much mistaken, an ORDER BY clause in the subquery of a query like this has to do with a technique that allows you to pull non-GROUP BY columns (in the outer query) according the order specified. And so you may be out of luck here, because that means the subquery is important to this query.
Well, because in this specific case the order chosen is BY RAND() and not by a specific column/set of columns, you may have a very rough equivalent by doing both the joins and the grouping on the same level, like this:
select nomefile, tipo_nome, categorie.ordine
from t_gallerie_immagini_new as immagini
join t_gallerie_new as collezioni on collezioni.id=immagini.id_ref
join t_gallerie_tipi as categorie on collezioni.type=categorie.id
group by tipo_nome
order by categorie.ordine

You must understand, though, why this is not an exact equivalent. The thing is, MySQL does allow you to pull non-GROUP BY columns in a GROUP BY query, but if they are not correlated to the GROUP BY columns, then the values returned would be... no, not random, the term used by the manual is indeterminate. On the other hand, the technique mentioned in the first paragraph takes advantage of the fact that if the row set is ordered explicitly and unambiguously prior to grouping, then the non-GROUP BY column values will always be the same*. So indeterminateness has to do with the fact that "normally" rows are not ordered explicitly before grouping.
Now you can probably see the difference. The original version orders the rows explicitly. Even if it's BY RAND(), it is intentionally so, to ensure (as much as possible) different results in the output most of the times. But the modified version is "robbed" of the explicit ordering, and so you are likely to get identical results for many executions in a row, even if they are kind of "random".
So, in general, I consider your problem unsolvable for the above stated reasons, and if you choose to use something like the suggested modified version, then just be aware that it is likely to behave slightly differently from the original.
* The technique may not be well documented, by the way, and may have been found rather empirically than by following manuals.

A: I was not able to understand the reasons behind the request to rewrite this query, however, i found out that there is a solution which uses the "select" word only once. Here's the query:
SELECT g.type, SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(
i.nomefile ORDER BY
RAND()),',',1) nomefile
FROM t_gallerie_new g JOIN t_gallerie_immagini_new i ON g.id=i.id_ref
GROUP BY g.type;

for anyone interested in this question.
NOTE: The use of GROUP_CONCAT has a couple of downsides: It is not recommended to use this keyword when using medium/large tables since it could increase the server side payload. Also, there is a limit to the size of the string returned by GROUP_CONTACT, by default 1024, so, it's necessary to modify a parameter in the mySql server to be able to receive a bigger string from this instruction.

The  is a Kofun period burial mound located on the border of the town of Mibu, Shimotsuga District, and the city of Tochigi in Tochigi Prefecture in the northern Kantō region of Japan. It received protection as a National Historic Site in 1970.

Overview
The Azuma Kofun is located on a narrow plateau between the Ogawa and Sugata rivers, which run north and south through the northern Kantō Plain. As a result of an archaeological excavation from 2007 to 2010, it was determined that the tumulus is a  built in two tiers. The lower tier (base) is wide, and with a total length of about 128 meters was found to be the largest in the prefecture. The second tier is about 86 meters long with a height of about 10 meters. The two-tiered mound is set on a base of similar shape, and is surrounded by a moat with a width of about 20 meters and a depth of about three meters. Pumice deposits from the 1108 AD eruption of Mount Asama were confirmed from the soil filling the moat. The burial facility is a horizontal hole type stone chamber with dimensions of 2.4 meters long x 1.7 meters wide x 2.0 meters high; however, during the Edo period, the front part of the rectangular portion of the tumulus was destroyed, and the entrance stone and one of the ceiling stones were removed by the daimyō of Mibu Domain for use as ornamental stones in the gardens of Mibu Castle, where they can still be seen. The entrance stone was of cut tuff with a rectangular opening for a door, whereas the ceiling stone (and remaining stones in the walls and remaining ceiling of the burial chamber) are of monolithic diorite. Red pigment was applied to the walls of the burial chamber, which was backfilled for preservation after the 2010 excavation.

The surface of the tumulus is covered with fukiishi stones. Fragments of cylindrical and house-shaped haniwa have been recovered.  The tumulus is a representative example of a kofun of the late Kofun period, from around the latter half of the 6th century. Recovered artifacts, including small objects of gold and copper found in the burial chamber, are on display at the Shimotsuke Fudoki-ga-oka Museum at site, which is located approximately eight minutes by car from Mibu Station on the Tōbu Railway Tōbu Utsunomiya Line.

Scrambled characters when remote printing IE Japanese web pages
« Back to Windows version
David Roudebush, User	(Posts: 8)

Support level: Basic
Version 6.9.4 on host and viewer. Run through our own server.
The viewers are on English Windows OS (7-64). The hosts are in Japan, running either English or Japanese Windows OS (7-64).
1) When accessing a host that runs Japanese Win-7-64 OS, the remote printing works properly with Chrome and local apps (i.e. all of the Japanese characters print properly), but printing through the RU printer driver from IE 11 crashes and restarts IE.
2) When accessing a host that runs English Win-7-64 OS, the remote printing produces garbage characters from IE 11 (but doesn't crash it), and prints properly (Japanese characters) from Chrome and local apps.
Any suggestions for getting the RU printer to work happily with IE 11 and Japanese characters, or to pass the print spool through to the viewer computer directly to access the local viewer printers?
Thanks very much,
It turns out that if we print to a PDF on the host printer that's having the problem (again from IE), that PDF is fine. We can transfer the PDF to the viewer, and print out the page with the correct Japanese.
But if we use that PDF on the host computer to print through the RU printer, the characters still come out scrambled at the viewing computer. So it appears that the fonts from IE, even when embedded in the PDF, are causing problems with the RU printer.

Thank you very much. If there is something I can do to support that (logs, more specific testing), I'll be happy to do so.
Indeed there were issues with IE/Edge that require updating the printing driver. We will update it together with the very next product update which is coming very soon (within a week or two perhaps).
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks very much for the great support. We're having some other language/character issues, as well. When we open the file transfer panel to move files between the viewer and the host, the Japanese characters in the filenames aren't displayed correctly in the panel. The files can be transferred, but it's difficult to tell which file to transfer in some cases.
Sure, we will test that out too. Thank you very much.

The prospect of bringing together labor and community at the PN 1999 Conference brings to mind several critical discrepancies between the agendas of these two groups. I see labor and community from the perspective of someone who has worked for affordable housing and community development for the past two decades, a one-time union organizer, and the wife of a union organizer and activist. While I wholly support such a collaboration, and in fact view it as an ideal to strive toward, I'm pretty skeptical about it because of what I have seen in the San Francisco Bay Area. The issues that divide labor and community in practice are: prevailing wages, local hiring practices, NIMBY, and the unionization of nonprofits.
Should nonprofit housing developers pay prevailing union wages, or should they be able to pay lower wages to help make housing affordable? This issue has lead to razor sharp conflict between unions and nonprofits. For affordable housing developers, their projects mean much needed housing, with the added bonus of creating construction jobs. However, if they pay the prevailing wage in the Bay Area, that adds 20-30% to the cost of building affordable housing. Prevailing wage can mean the difference between a project moving forward or going bust.The prevailing wage can be avoided if non-federal sources are used › this is more likely as federal funding declines. These new funding sources include tax credits, tax exempt bond financing, and local grants and loans for predevelopment and front end financing. And many local governments are more than happy to skirt state prevailing wage requirements.
Requirements that nonprofit builders hire local workers, low-income and homeless people may not be consonant with the union agenda for hiring, particularly in the building trades. Community housing developers are not tuned into the hiring hall ethic and don't understand the process. To many of us it appears exclusionary. Yet there is so much opportunity here to expand the ranks of the union movement and at the same time meet larger community economic development goals. I haven't seen it in the Bay Area (though there may be efforts underway or success stories that I personally haven't heard about). This seems like a ripe area for joining labor and community with a win-win result. However, without a deliberate meeting of the minds of leadership from both sectors, efforts to move forward in this arena will likely get bogged down in petty fiefdom battles.
When it comes to affordable housing, I don't think we can assume that the rank and file union agenda is necessarily opposed to NIMBY (Not-In-My-Backyard) exclusionary sentiments. I worked for a city where the president of the fire fighters union advocated against making a loan to a nonprofit developer in his home town because of their work in converting a dilapidated, abandoned hotel into housing for people with disabilities (including AIDS and substance abusers). I believe the key issue for him was the prospect of declining property values. For union members with moderate incomes › a valid accomplishment › low-income housing can run counter to their interests as new property owners and the concomitant middle class values. Education on the subject of nonprofit low-income housing and its impact on property values would be a place to start. There are lots of opportunity for coalescing here. There are plenty of union members among the ranks of folks seeking affordable housing built by nonprofits, especially among health care workers, janitors, farm workers, teachers, and many public sector workers. It was a personal joy for me to know that a member of my husband's union was purchasing a below market rate condo for first time home buyers built through the city program I developed! We need to articulate this commonality.
Few nonprofits support the notion of seeking out union labor or insist on using a union bug. Some do, but I have seen more that do not, and many that just provide lip service. This can create a wall between labor and community. In the Bay Area there have been a few battles over the unionization of nonprofits.
Unionization seems to be a dirty word in my world of nonprofit housing and community development. As my husband puts it, if management is treating folks right, they're not going to want a union. Or as I think of it, if management is treating folks right, a union presents itself as no threat to continuing in that mode.
While the union movement's electoral agenda is generally in sync with progressive planners, there are many defining "lines in the sand" which need to be confronted in an open way before just assuming that we're all on the same page. I can't say I have any easy answers, but until the two groups start talking to each other about these issues, understand why each takes specific positions, and find common ground, the notion of being part of one big happy left family is only an academic one.

Martinique: new firing of firearms in the direction of the police, the inter-union calls for the lifting of the dams
While the inter-union called Wednesday morning for the lifting of the roadblocks, several dozen people clashed with the police last night in Fort-de-France.
We deplore a new firing of firearms in the direction of the police. An impact was found on a police vehicle, according to information obtained by CNEWS.
Several fires were lit on the road. This violence follows the call for a general strike, launched by 17 trade unions. Some residents fear the situation will get worse.
