We've added a group of Web Accelerators into your Control Panel to aid you to effortlessly optimize the overall efficiency of your sites. You won't need to update anything at all within the code or make special adjustments that require technical know–how from you. Inside the Control Panel, simply opt for the application you wish to apply – Node.js, Memcached and Varnish and generate an instance for it. It is all completed with a mouse click. By quickening your websites, won't just stop your customers from being forced to hold but can even make your site get a better position in search engine results.
You will find the Web Accelerators inside the Advanced Tools area of your Control Panel.
In case you have an active database–driven web site or web app, it could have issues loading rapidly for the customers because of the numerous requests sent to the data base. To let you eliminate the page running trouble, we have bundled the Memcached system in the Control Panel.
Memcached is a powerful distributed memory object caching platform, which collects data as well as objects in the server's memory to prevent the database from getting queried whenever a customer opens a certain web page. This way, your website pages will start a lot faster for customers and will definitely increase the opportunity for them to return.
You will find a variety of different methods to speed up a web site, however, most of them need a developer to edit the back–end code. There are more user–friendly tools for quickening a website, like the Varnish web accelerator tool incorporated into our Control Panel.
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator, which keeps HTTP calls inside the RAM and sends them to the customer in place of expecting the web server to send them. Tests reveal that putting into action Varnish on a website or an application generally increases website speeds with a 300 – 1000x factor. Varnish may also be configured how to deal with newly arriving queries – whether they should be returned by Varnish, by the web server, etc.
Node.js creates a contemporary programming system for establishing scalable web applications and websites in record time. It may be employed for almost anything – from managing API requests, streaming information and also parsing email messages to converting graphics, audio files, movies and office documents.

The EU has said US tariffs would be met with a "proportionate response." The European Council, IMF and WTO have warned Trump he is very wrong about trade wars being easy to win.
The European Union has said it will introduce retaliatory measures against US plans to impose steel and aluminum tariffs. The WTO and IMF have voiced their concerns over US President Donald Trump's threat of a trade war.
The US will reportedly spare Mexico, Canada and possibly others from tariffs, under national security "carve-outs." The tariff bill will likely be signed on Thursday or Friday and will go into effect two weeks after.

Satellite image of air pollution spreading out over eastern China and winding a course across the East China Sea, past the Korean Peninsula and northeastwards toward Japan (Image by NASA).
Around 9,000 feet up, on a remote mountaintop in the state of Oregon, a group of researchers are on the lookout. It´s not planes or wildlife they are tracking but pollution clouds.
The monitoring site is run by Dan Jaffe, professor of atmospheric and environmental chemistry at the University of Washington-Bothell, who has spent the past 16 years trying to understand how pollution is carried around the world. Specifically, how a growing amount of pollution from China and the rest of Asia is being carried over the Pacific and dumped on the west coast of the US.
The impact is a fairly regular number of air pollution violations in US cities, directly attributed to pollution that originated in Asia.
With stricter controls in US cities on pollution, interest in Jaffe's team's work is growing, both from government officials and industry, which itself is under pressure to reduce the most harmful pollutants.
What's more, major plans to scale-up the export of US coal to China are being questioned due to concerns it could contribute to worsening air pollution both at home and abroad.
As Jaffe explains, the commonly heard phase "air pollution knows no boundaries" takes on a new meaning when we start to understand how pollution is travelling around the globe. The pollutants pumped out into the air never disappear into thin air, as we might like to believe.
Typical westerly wind flows across the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere mean air pollution from China is often carried over the Pacific Ocean. If the weather conditions are right, contaminants including mercury, ozone, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, black carbon and desert dust, can reach the west coast of the US within days.
The most visible recent examples were the giant dust storms originating from the Gobi desert in 1998 and 2001, which carried significant levels of pollutants across to the US. At the time, researchers feared this could be the start of an era of Chinese pollution dumping itself on the US. However, a similar large event has not occurred since, although smaller dust storms are still frequent.
Far more common, says Jaffe, have been the ozone events. These are not visible in the same way as giant dust storms, so haven´t garnered the same level of interest, but have proven to be damaging to public health and air quality standards. Levels of ozone detected at the mountaintop research centre have been "creeping up" over the past decade, according to data collected at the site, a result linked to, among factors, rapidly increasing vehicle emissions from Asia.
Whereas ozone high up in the atmosphere helps filter the sun's ultra-violet rays, ozone closer to ground level causes lung damage and is a particular risk to young children and asthma sufferers.
"We can point to quite a number of days of high ozone reaching our research station and contributing to days that violate air standards across the US," says Jaffe. "They're not as spectacular as dust storms and you don't see them on satellite, but they are enough to break air quality standards two or three times a year."
Part of the problem is that standards in the US are getting higher, with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) looking at tightening the emission rules because of the health implications of ozone. In a paper on the issue, International transport of air pollution, the EPA suggests that downwind air pollution from Asia would wipe out the improvements expected from recent national emission control programmes.
The realisation that air pollution can be transported thousands of miles from its source has led to a re-think among air-quality officials in US cities.
Legislation in the US designed to enforce air quality – principally the Clean Air Act – does have an exceptional events rule that grants cities exemptions if they can show the source of the bad air quality day was out of their control.
"In the past, when a city has a bad air day, they would normally assume the weather must have been too hot, the air stagnant, too many cars, factories. But there are days when they get bad air events and the air is not stagnant and they want to find out why," says Jaffe.
"It's only really in the last few years that our research has got down to the city-level, where they are starting to look and understand global air pollution."
The other most significant pollutant is mercury. Asia burns a lot of coal, and Chinese coal in particular contains a high amount of mercury, making the country the largest source of chemical in the world. Although there are ongoing UN negotiations on reducing mercury emissions, expectations that China will be willing to invest in technology, or be given help in getting technology, to reduce atmospheric emissions of mercury are low.
"So when the global community says you need to spend millions cleaning up your mercury because high-end consumers in San Francisco can´t eat fish, China goes 'give me a break that´s not our biggest problem'. Maybe in 10-20 years when it has dealt with its other issues it may be ready to tackle this," says Jaffe, who adds that particulate matter (PM) air pollution in most Chinese cities, for example, is a much bigger problem.
Ironically, the US could also be contributing to its own mercury pollution too if it pushes through plans to scale up the export of coal to China.
US coal is already being exported to China through Canada. Just south of the west coast port city of Vancouver, the Westshore Coal Terminal ships 22 million tonnes of coal a year, of which 59% goes to China. There are now plans to build dozens of new terminals in the states of Washington and Oregon, on the west coast of the US, and export 150 million tonnes of coal a year to Asia.
"It's a classic jobs versus environment," says Jaffe, who lives in Washington state, which is phasing out its only coal-burning power station. "It's a dumb idea. We ship coal to China, they burn it and we get the pollution back."
Jaffe believes both the US and China have different responsibilities when it comes to tackling air pollution. The US responsibility is maintaining high standards and not exporting coal to Asia, while for China it is continuing with what he says has been significant progress confronting its air quality problem.
"They´re putting huge amounts of money into science and technology and particularly environmental and air monitoring. You can now go online and get daily air-quality figures. I believe the data is fine. We´ve measured it ourselves. But if you convert it into western standards the levels are really high. The main difference is in the wording. They're reporting the number correctly, but how they´re grading it is very different.
"In the long run, if they clean up their own environmental problems it will, by necessity, help their downstream neighbours. If they have such horrible air quality in their cities which they know is both a health and economic issue, are they're going to spend 50 billion dollars on environmental progress to help their own citizens, or worry about people in Korea or the US?"
You stand by the US side? Why didn't you mention who polluted the environment during Industrial Revolution? Who transfered those heavy-polluted industries to China? Chinese people are suffering from extreme PM2.5 pollution but only earn little money, meanwhile, Americans and European enjoy cheap 'made in China' products and fresh air. Now they complain that China is dirty?
US Congress should pass an Act on compulsorily increase the products' price which are sourcing in China. To pay extra 'Pollution Control' fee in order to protect themselves.
I read through the article again, but haven't seen any data.
Is this a objective article written by a media professional?
I want to ask the author that as you quoted this study conducted by a researcher, don't you have your own judgements based on facts? That's the qualifications a professional should have?
Chinese factories have turned China into an ecological nightmare. Guess that mad dash towards industrialization has consequences eh? Guess all that cheap energy from coal fired power plants isn't that cheap now is it? Chinese people are selling out Chinese people in order to enrich themselves while everyone gets to breath air that isn't fit for breathing. Just wait until your children start show signs of respiratory illnesses such as asthma. Just wait until your citizens start experiencing respiratory illnesses on an epidemic level. People in the United States are going to fight tooth and nail to prevent more coal from being shipped over to China so you can send air borne pollution our way. Better get used to it. Buy a respirator...you're going to need it.
US-China relationship one of increasing "interdependence"
They may not always realise it, but the US and China need to work together on climate, trade and energy, concluded speakers at chinadialogue's two-day live discussion.
Compared to the authorities' ambiguous explanation, Beijing residents' reactions towards the smoggy weather are far more entertaining.
Taxi drivers are exposed to three times as much PM2.5 air pollutants to an ordinary person in China, according to Greenpeace.

'Offensive' Cradle Of Filth t-shirt goes on display
By Stef Lach
New Zealand museum sparks outcry by including infamous garment
A banned Cradle Of Filth t-shirt is causing a media storm after it was included in a museum exhibition.
The notorious t-shirt features an image of a nun masturbating on the front, with the words 'Jesus is a cunt' emblazoned on the back.
It was banned by New Zealand's chief censor in 2008, but is now appearing as part of an exhibition called T-shirts Unfolding at Canterbury Museum in Christchurch. It is being displayed in an area of the gallery marked for over 18s only.
However, according to The New Zealand Herald, a lobby group Family First called the exhibit "horrific" and "offensive" and is appealing to authorities to take action.
The group say: "We don't think it's art. We don't think any group should be subjected to this level of vile hate language."
Canterbury Museum director Anthony Wright has defended the decision to include the garment, saying the exhibition's purpose was to tell the story of t-shirts within street art culture.
He adds: "We've got to balance that up against anyone that might be offended, and we've bent over backwards to make sure that anyone who might be offended won't come into contact with anything offensive. It's a tiny part of the overall exhibition."
Cradle Of Filth fans in Australia and in the UK have previously been charged with various offences for wearing the t-shirt in public.

It feels like I have been away from my blog for soooo long and that's no thanks to my iMac for breaking down.
Luckily G was able to recover all my files but there's no reviving the computer. Sad times, but I'm glad to be back and blogging using various devices (non of which are mine) as I wait for my replacement.
Anyway, back to life a couple of weeks ago, the sun has been glorious in London and on a sunny weekend, I met up with one of my best mates for a proper catch up over brunch.
I'm sure all of you guys have been to the popular All Bar One* at some point, but I never realised they did brunch or had such an extensive food menu. There's plenty of options and all the prices are really budget friendly, especially for central London.
We hit the Charing Cross branch, where it's lovely and quiet for a Saturday morning. I adore the table tops and dainty tea ware, so perfect for Instagramming don't you think? The rustic/industrial interiors throughout are right up my alley and gives the bar a really lovely ambiance.
Between the 2 of us, we went for a good old Full English, Eggs Benedict, Buttermilk Pancakes finished off with a cup of breakfast tea.
Full English £7.50. The full English was a really decent spread for not a lot of money, perfect go to if you're in the mood for something big. Worth noting that the Cumberland and damson sausages were good quality too.
Eggs Benedict £6.95. Unfortunately the eggs benedict didn't fare as well. The poached eggs were a little rough in texture, the ham wasn't top quality and the dish would have just worked better with chopped chives rather than seeds.
Buttermilk Pancakes £5.95, additional £1.50 for bacon. Perfectly fluffy and it satisfied the need for something sweet and something salty. I had 1 of the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and another with the fruit and maple syrup. The fruit, bacon and maple together is a little too weird for me!
Our tea came with a shot of smarties too, lovely little touch.
There's something on the menu for everyone and for those who are health conscious, you can order the Boost Breakfast with mushrooms, eggs, avocado, tomatoes and hummus toast, or the Protein Power-Up that consists of smoked salmon, avocado, eggs and omega 3 seed sprinkles.
I really enjoyed the full English and the pancakes, and given the prices I'll definitely be returning again.
After brunch, we went for a stroll straight up to Piccadilly and queued 45 minutes for a Yolkin macaron ice-cream sandwich. They have gone from strength to strength; the growing queues and short sellout times are a perfect reflection of that. You can see my previous post about Yolkin here.
Hope you guys are enjoying the sunshine!
*I was a guest at All Bar One. All opinions are my own and unbiased.
That full English looks marv, as well as being a steal for London prices.
I wouldn't usually think of All Bar One for brunch, I would usually just go for after work beers! I'm pleasantly surprised as this looks fantastic!

Steven Allan Spielberg (Cincinnati, Ohio; 18 de diciembre de 1946) es un director, guionista y productor de cine estadounidense. Se le considera uno de los pioneros de la era del Nuevo Hollywood y es también uno de los directores más reconocidos y populares de la industria cinematográfica mundial.

En sus películas, ha tratado temas y géneros muy diversos. Sus primeros filmes de ciencia ficción y aventuras, como Tiburón (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), la franquicia de Indiana Jones y E.T., el extraterrestre (1982), son considerados arquetipos del cine de evasión del Hollywood moderno. En años posteriores comenzó a abordar temas humanistas como el Holocausto, el comercio atlántico de esclavos, los derechos civiles y políticos, la guerra y el terrorismo en películas como El color púrpura (1985), El imperio del sol (1987), La lista de Schindler (1993), Amistad (1997), Saving Private Ryan (1998), Múnich (2005), War Horse (2011), Lincoln (2012) o El puente de los espías (2015).

Candidato siete veces a los premios Óscar en la categoría de mejor director, obtuvo el premio en dos ocasiones, con La lista de Schindler y Saving Private Ryan. Tres de sus películas (Tiburón, E.T., el extraterrestre y Parque Jurásico) lograron ser las películas de mayor recaudación en su momento y se convirtieron en verdaderos fenómenos de masas. Ha sido también condecorado con la Orden del Imperio Británico y la Medalla Nacional de Humanidades. Aficionado al cómic, tiene una gran colección.

Se lo conoce como «El Rey Midas de Hollywood». Según la revista Forbes, su patrimonio asciende a 3700 millones de dólares estadounidenses. Las ganancias de sus películas en todo el mundo, sin ajustar precios a la inflación, superan los diez mil millones de dólares, lo que lo convierte en el director de cine con mayor recaudación de la historia. De su larga asociación con el compositor John Williams han surgido algunas de las bandas sonoras más icónicas de la historia del cine.

Primeros años

Nació en Cincinnati (Ohio) en una familia judía asquenazí. Su madre, Leah Adler, era pianista y restauradora y su padre, Arnold Spielberg, un ingeniero eléctrico que participó en el desarrollo de las computadoras. Pasó su infancia con su madre en Haddon Heights (Nueva Jersey) y Scottsdale (Arizona). Durante su adolescencia, realizaba películas de 8 mm con sus amigos. El primer corto, rodado en el restaurante Pinnacle Peak Patio, en Scottsdale, incluía la escenificación de los restos de un accidente de tren preparado con su maqueta Lionel, LLC.

En 1958, se convirtió en scout y, para obtener la insignia del mérito, realizó un corto de 8 mm de nueve minutos de duración, denominado Duel. Spielberg recordó el hecho años más tarde en una entrevista: "Pedí al jefe de exploradores si podía contar una historia con la cámara de cine de mi padre. Dijo que sí, y yo tenía la idea de realizar un western. Lo hice y obtuve mi insignia de mérito. Así fue como empezó todo". A los trece años, ganó un premio por una película de guerra de cuarenta minutos llamada Escape to Nowhere (Escape a ninguna parte), que se basaba en una batalla en el este de África. En 1964, a los dieciocho años, escribió y dirigió su primera película independiente, una aventura de ciencia ficción de 130 minutos llamada Firelight (que más tarde inspiraría a Close Encounters of the Third Kind). La película, que contó con un presupuesto de 500 dólares, se proyectó en el cine local y logró recolectar 501 dólares, lo que generó una ganancia de un dólar. También hizo varias películas sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, inspiradas en historias de guerra contadas por su padre.

Después del divorcio de sus padres, se trasladó con su padre a Saratoga (California), mientras que sus tres hermanas y su madre permanecieron en Arizona. Asistió a la Escuela Secundaria Arcadia en Phoenix durante tres años y se graduó en la Saratoga High School en 1965. Fue durante este tiempo cuando alcanzó el rango de Eagle Scout.

Spielberg asistía a la sinagoga cuando era un niño en Haddon Heights y también concurrió a la escuela hebrea entre 1953 y 1957, a las clases impartidas por el rabino Albert L. Lewis. De niño le fue difícil aceptar la religión de su familia. "No es algo que me gusta admitir", dijo en una ocasión, "pero cuando yo tenía 7 u 8 años, Dios me perdone, me daba vergüenza contar que eramos judíos ortodoxos. Yo estaba avergonzado por las prácticas judías de mis padres. Nunca estuve realmente avergonzado de ser judío, pero me sentía incómodo a veces. Mi abuelo siempre llevaba un largo abrigo negro, sombrero negro y larga barba blanca. Me daba vergüenza invitar a mis amigos a casa, porque él podía estar en una esquina orando y yo no sabía cómo explicarle esto a mis amigos". También ha contado que sufrió actos antisemitas durante sus primeros años: "En la escuela secundaria, me golpearon y me dejaron la nariz ensangrentada, fue horrible...".

Después de mudarse a California, presentó una solicitud para asistir a la Escuela de Teatro, Cine y Televisión de la University of Southern California en tres ocasiones, pero no tuvo éxito. Posteriormente fue estudiante de la California State University, Long Beach, donde fue miembro de la fraternidad Theta Chi. En 1994, la CSU le otorgó el doctorado honoris causa y en 1996 se convirtió en miembro del consejo de la universidad. Su verdadera carrera comenzó cuando ingresó en Universal Studios como pasante no remunerado, empleado siete días a la semana como colaborador del departamento de edición. Hizo su primer cortometraje para su presentación en salas, con la película Amblin' (1968), de 26 minutos de duración, cuyo título utilizó después para dar nombre a su productora, Amblin Entertainment.

Carrera como director

Década de 1970
Tras ser contratado por la división televisiva de la productora Universal, (que según la leyenda, ocurrió tras ser sorprendido una noche mientras rondaba por los decorados de los estudios), empezó a dirigir episodios de series como Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969-1976) y Columbo (1971-2003), pero el inesperado éxito de la versión para el cine de su telefilme Duel (El diablo sobre ruedas, 1971) lo llevó a estrenar en 1974 su primer largometraje, The Sugarland Express (Loca evasión). Si bien no fue dado a conocer hasta la posterior exitosa carrera del director, la película tuvo su éxito de crítica (tiene un 92 % en Rotten Tomatoes) y de taquilla. La Universal depositó en él la confianza suficiente como para rodar Jaws (Tiburón, 1975), película de gran presupuesto y rodaje extremadamente accidentado que se convirtió en uno de los títulos más taquilleros de la historia e instauró el modelo moderno de superproducción, con elevados costes de mercadotecnia y efectos especiales. Más tarde, en 1977, George Lucas contribuyó a consolidar las bases del nuevo "cine comercial" con su ópera espacial Star Wars (La guerra de las galaxias). Desde entonces, Spielberg y Lucas mantienen una gran amistad.

Spielberg rechazó dirigir Tiburón 2, King Kong y Superman: la película, para desarrollar aquella historia que había escrito en su adolescencia. Así, en 1977, estrenó Close Encounters of the Third Kind, que fue un gran éxito y lo consolidó como el nuevo «rey Midas» del cine de Hollywood. En 1979 se estreno 1941, un intento por incursionar en la comedia que fue un fracaso. Según palabras de Lucas: "La dirección de Steve fue brillante; la idea, terrible".

Década de 1980

Como amantes de las viejas películas de aventura de los años 20 y 30 de Hollywood, Lucas le propuso a Spielberg escribir una historia con un aventurero arqueólogo como protagonista. El director aceptó y eligió como protagonista a Harrison Ford, a quien había visto como Han Solo en The Empire Strikes Back. Lucas se negó en un principio, pero finalmente el actor consiguió el papel de Dr. Indiana Jones. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) estuvo cargada de problemas, pero se convirtió en uno de los mayores éxitos de la década y revitalizó el género de aventuras.

Mientras rodaba esa película, Spielberg decidió retomar el tema que más le interesaba: el espacio y sus habitantes. Por eso, tras terminar con Indiana Jones, se abocó a lo que, para muchos, es su obra maestra. En 1982, E.T., el extraterrestre se convirtió en la película más taquillera de todos los tiempos, tras superar a Star Wars, hasta que en 1993 la desplazó Jurassic Park, también dirigida por Spielberg, quien se convirtió en uno de los más importantes cineastas de su época e incluso de la historia del cine. El director de Gandhi (1982), Richard Attenborough, declaró: «Yo estaba seguro de que no únicamente E.T. podría ganar, sino de que ganaría. Fue inventiva, poderosa y maravillosa. Yo hago películas más mundanas». En 1984, Spielberg dirigió la precuela de Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. A partir de entonces, alternó su trabajo de productor con el de director, con mayor éxito en la primera (Gremlins de 1984 y Back to the Future de 1985) que en la segunda. Si bien sus siguientes películas no fueron fracasos, El color púrpura (1985), Empire of the Sun (1987) y Always (1989) se alejaron bastante de sus proyectos anteriores.

Tras tres películas sin mucho éxito de crítica y taquilla, en 1989 Spielberg volvió con la tercera parte de Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones y la última cruzada, que fue un éxito, con la incorporación de Sean Connery como el padre del arqueólogo.

Década de 1990

En 1991, decidió abordar los clásicos de Disney que había visto en su niñez y eligió la historia de Peter Pan. Aunque su versión de la historia original que quería filmar con actores no pudo hacerse, sí consiguió estrenar su propia versión, que sería una continuación de la historia conocida. Michael Jackson iba a ser Peter Pan originalmente, pero por diversos inconvenientes el papel recayó en Robin Williams. Hook fue un éxito, aunque no gozó de la popularidad que tuvieron otras de sus películas.

En 1993, Spielberg continuó con su tendencia de estrenar, algunos años, dos películas al mismo tiempo (tendencia que inició en 1989 y repetiría en 1997, 2002, 2005 y 2011). La primera fue Jurassic Park, que revolucionó los efectos especiales en los años 1990. También de 1993 es La lista de Schindler por la que recibió un Oscar a Mejor Director y otro a Mejor Película.

En 1997 estrenó Amistad y The Lost World: Jurassic Park, secuela de la entrega de 1993, y que sería la última de la franquicia con Spielberg como director (aunque no dejó sus funciones de productor). Al año siguiente eligió regresar a las historias de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con Saving Private Ryan, que le valió su segundo Óscar a mejor director.

Década de 2000
A.I. Inteligencia artificial (2001) fue otra de sus películas cuestionadas por la taquilla, la crítica y la audiencia, pese a ser una obra homenaje a Stanley Kubrick. Al año siguiente estrenó Catch Me If You Can (2002), con Leonardo DiCaprio y Tom Hanks. En ese mismo año también estrenó Minority Report. En 2004, Spielberg volvió a entregarle el protagónico a Hanks, esta vez en The Terminal.

Spielberg fue vapuleado por la crítica, por un lado, y por los fanes, por otro. Primero con Múnich (2005), que retrató el atentado terrorista palestino en los Juegos Olímpicos de Múnich 1972 (conocido como Masacre de Múnich). La película no gustó a ninguna de las dos partes: los judíos le pusieron en su lista negra y a los propalestinos esa equidad les molestó. Spielberg se defendió de esas críticas diciendo: "Si fuera necesario, estaría dispuesto a morir, tanto por Estados Unidos como por Israel".

En 2005, también estrenó La guerra de los mundos, que para muchos fue una increíble película que retrata la versión de Orson Welles, pero para los defensores de este último y los fanáticos de la versión original, la de Spielberg no se encontró a la misma altura. Lucas lo convenció de volver con la retrasada cuarta entrega de Indiana Jones. Bastante cuestionada antes de su estreno, Indiana Jones y el reino de la calavera de cristal (2008) no recibió tan malas críticas. Roger Ebert la calificó con 3.5 estrellas de un total de 4, argumentando "Puedo decir que si te gustaron las otras películas de Indiana Jones, seguramente ésta te gustará también. Si no te gustaron, entonces no nos estamos entendiendo". James Berardinelli proporcionó a la película 2 estrellas de 4, mencionando "la maldición más prudente ha dejado a los aficionados con sus memorias únicamente".

Década de 2010

En 2011 estrenó dos películas, primero Las aventuras de Tintín: el secreto del Unicornio, celebrada por su animación por captura de movimiento, pero ignorada en gran medida en la ceremonia de los Óscar (solo consiguió una nominación a Mejor Banda Sonora), pero ganó el Globo de Oro a la Mejor Película Animada.

Ha sido un ávido seguidor de Las aventuras de Tintín, que descubrió en 1981 cuando un artículo comparó Raiders of the Lost Ark con Tintín. Su secretario le compró las ediciones en francés de cada libro. Mientras tanto, el creador del cómic, Hergé, que odiaba a las anteriores versiones cinematográficas en imagen real o en dibujos animados, se convirtió en un fan de Spielberg. Michael Farr, autor de Tintín: Complet Companion, recordó que Hergé "pensaba que Spielberg era la única persona que podría hacer justicia a Tintín". Spielberg y su socia productora, Kathleen Kennedy, de Amblin Entertainment tenían previsto reunirse con Hergé en 1983, pero el autor murió esa semana y su viuda decidió darles los derechos. Pero no fue hasta su encuentro con Peter Jackson que el proyecto comenzó a prepararse. Jackson, quien había estado durante mucho tiempo fascinado con el cine en 3-D, quedó impresionado por los avances recientes en el formato. Spielberg y Jackson se pusieron de acuerdo en que una adaptación en imagen real no haría justicia a los libros de historietas y que la animación sería la mejor manera de representar el mundo de Tintín.

También en 2011, estrenó otra película bélica, situada en la Primera Guerra Mundial, War Horse. En 2012, estrenó Lincoln, la película sobre el prócer estadounidense.

En 2014, anunció que estaba trabajando en una serie sobre Halo junto con 343 Industries, disponible para los usuarios premium de Xbox Live, solamente a través de una Xbox One.

Proyectos

En septiembre de 2008, reveló que había obtenido los derechos de la novela de John Wyndham, Chocky; ya que estaba interesado en dirigir su adaptación fílmica. En 2009, reportó que estaba tratando de obtener los derechos de la franquicia de videojuegos Halo para realizar una película. Pese a que no hay actualizaciones acerca del futuro del proyecto, Spielberg está trabajando en un serie basada en dicha franquicia. En mayo de 2009, adquirió los derechos para producir y dirigir una película biográfica sobre Martin Luther King, Jr.. No obstante, todavía no se ha aclarado si el proyecto ha sido aprobado totalmente.

En febrero de 2013, Gary K. Wolf confirmó que The Walt Disney Company estaba trabajando en una precuela de ¿Quién engañó a Roger Rabbit?. Se desconoce si Spielberg se encuentra trabajando en el proyecto, aunque desde el principio que se planeó la secuela, se encontraba trabajando en ella. El 5 de abril de 2014, Richard Donner anunció que una secuela de The Goonies estaba en producción. No obstante, se desconoce si Spielberg se verá envuelto en la producción, pese a que en el pasado expresó interés en producir la secuela.

Su siguiente película fue una adaptación cinematográfica de la novela Ready Player One, cuya fecha de estreno fue puesta originalmente para el 15 de diciembre de 2017, pero se cambió al 30 de marzo de 2018 para evitar competencia con Star Wars: Episodio VIII - Los últimos Jedi. Tras finalizar la producción de la película, Spielberg dirigirá la adaptación de la novela de David Kertzer, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara.

El 15 de marzo de 2016, The Walt Disney Company anunció que Spielberg iba a dirigir la quinta entrega de Indiana Jones. Dicha secuela contaría con Harrison Ford como Indy, Frank Marshall y Kathleen Kennedy como productores, y David Koepp como escritor (quien hizo el guion definitivo de Indiana Jones y el reino de la calavera de cristal).

Spielberg también ha sido contratado para dirigir Cortes, una adaptación de la vida del conquistador español Hernán Cortés, y sobre su relación con el rey azteca Moctezuma. El guion está basado en uno que escribió en 1965, el ganador del premio Oscar, Dalton Trumbo. El proyecto contará con la participación del actor español Javier Bardem como Cortés. También ha sido contratado para dirigir una adaptación de la novela biográfica de la periodista Lynsey Addario, It's What I Do. Jennifer Lawrence ha sido elegida para el papel principal.

Además, Spielberg tiene planeado gastar 200 millones de dólares para producir la adaptación fílmica de la novela de Daniel H. Wilson, Robopocalypse, que será dirigida por Drew Goddard. Al igual que Lincoln, la película será realizada por The Walt Disney Company y por Fox. Originalmente se iba a estrenar el 25 de abril de 2014, con Anne Hathaway y Liam Hemsworth como protagonistas, pero en enero de 2013, Spielberg cambió la fecha de estreno, sin todavía una fecha de estreno oficial confirmada.

Spielberg también ha declarado en estar interesado en dirigir adaptaciones fílmicas de A Steady Rain, Pirate Latitudes, The 39 Clues; y también comentó en dirigir un remake de When Worlds Collide. También dirige actualmente un remake de West Side Story. Secuelas de Paul y de Real Steel han sido propuestas por Simon Pegg y DreamWorks respectivamente, pero se desconoce si Spielberg se verá envuelto en la producción.

Produjo la secuela de Jurassic World, que se estrenó en 2015, y ha confirmado dos secuelas de Las aventuras de Tintín: el secreto del Unicornio. La primera secuela se estrenará el 16 de diciembre de 2016. No obstante, Spielberg parece haber salido del proyecto, porque ninguno de los involucrados ha confirmado que dirigirá la segunda parte.

De la misma manera que con A.I. Inteligencia artificial, Spielberg cuenta con el apoyo de Jan Harlan y el resto de la familia Kubrick para crear una miniserie, producida por HBO, sobre el cancelado proyecto biográfico de Napoleón.

Carrera como productor

Spielberg ha producido Poltergeist, Transformers, Los Picapiedra, Casper, Men in Black, Impacto profundo, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future  y La máscara del Zorro entre otras. También, durante la década de 1990, produjo dibujos animados como Las aventuras de los Tiny Toons, Fenomenoide, Pinky y Cerebro y Animaniacs (los dibujos animados más vistos en Norteamérica en los años 1990).

Además de su propia productora (Amblin Entertainment), fundó DreamWorks SKG con Jeffrey Katzenberg y David Geffen en 1994. Este estudio es responsable de películas como American Beauty, Gladiator, Náufrago, Memorias de una Geisha y las de animación por ordenador Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, entre otras.

Spielberg también creó la saga de videojuegos Medal of Honor y Boom Blox.

Poltergeist
Spielberg tenía dos proyectos en mente: E.T., el extraterrestre (1982) y Poltergeist. Como no podía dirigir las dos películas a la vez, ya que la normativa del «Director´s Guild of America» prohíbe que se dirijan dos películas al mismo tiempo, se decantó por la primera, dejando la segunda en manos de Tobe Hooper, responsable de La matanza de Texas (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974) pese a que el guion de ésta lo había escrito Spielberg, junto con Michael Grais y Mark Victor, a partir de un argumento propio, todo ello basado en sus temores infantiles. Aunque Spielberg siempre lo ha negado categóricamente, fue él quien se encargó de rodar la película entera, pese a que su intención previa fuese la de dejársela a su colega. A Spielberg no le gustaba cómo rodaba Hopper algunas escenas y entonces comenzó aconsejándole como dirigir. Todos los que estuvieron presentes durante el rodaje coinciden en señalar que Hopper siempre estaba en la filmación, pero que Spielberg era como su sombra; algunos, como el actor principal Craig T. Nelson, dicen que Hopper dirigió todas las escenas y otros, como Jerry Goldsmith, autor de la banda sonora, dicen que Spielberg pasaba olímpicamente de su colega. «A mí me gustaría creer que la dirigió Hopper, que me cae mejor que Spielberg, pero en el fondo soy de la otra opinión, como casi todo el resto de los mortales».

Transformers
Spielberg, como otros productores, tenía la idea de llevar a los Transformers al cine, como el antiguo ejecutivo de estudio Lorenzo di Bonaventura, así como el jefe de operaciones de Hasbro, Brian Goldner, entre otros.
Cuando todo estuvo dicho y hecho, la fuerza creativa detrás de la cinta conformó una especie de equipo de ensueño de la producción hollywoodense. Para cumplir con esa meta y al mismo tiempo dejar satisfechos a los aficionados de estos robots, Spielberg y su equipo decidieron buscar un director con la suficiente habilidad y experiencia para asumir el desafío de combinar una historia fantástica, efectos especiales y mucha acción.

«Pensé en Michael Bay porque lo considero perfecto para Transformers. Tiene el toque necesario y una visión muy clara de cómo podría ser esta película», dijo Spielberg, «Así que le dimos toda la libertad para infundir vida a los humanos, a los Autobots y a los Decepticons, aunque les tengo que decir algo: en un principio, rechazó el proyecto, pero cuando se enteró de cuan interesado estaba yo en esto, fue cuando accedió».

«He sido uno de los mayores admiradores de los Transformers desde su creación, creo que soy el fan número uno», dijo el productor ejecutivo. «No hablo de comprar los juguetes para mis hijos; hablo de leer las revistas de tiras cómicas y comprar los juguetes para mí», dice Spielberg.

La trama de la película está centrada en el ascenso de los malvados Decepticons, que están a punto de obtener el poder máximo, pero cuyo último eslabón cae en manos de un humano, el joven Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), el cual adquiere un automóvil que resulta ser más que eso.

Finding Óscar
En abril de 2017 se estrenó el documental Findig Óscar (Buscando a Óscar) producido por Spielberg junto a Frank Marshall, que narra la historia de un guatemalteco, Óscar Alfredo Ramírez, uno de los sobrevivientes de la masacre en la aldea Las Dos Erres, ocurrida en 1982 y quién de un día para otro, debe enfrentar esta realidad, que hasta hace unos años, era totalmente desconocida para él. Durante la etapa de filmación fueron asistidos por la periodista de origen salvadoreño, Ana Arana, corresponsal en América Latina por más de 30 años.

Colaboraciones

Spielberg suele trabajar con actores y miembros de producción de sus películas anteriores. Por ejemplo, contó con el actor Richard Dreyfuss en varias películas: Tiburón, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, y Always. También ha colaborado con Harrison Ford, que interpretó al director del colegio de E.T., el extraterrestre (aunque la escena fue cortada en última instancia) y lo dirigió en Raiders of the Lost Ark. El actor de voz Frank Welker ha prestado su voz en varias de sus producciones, como Gremlins y su secuela, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, así como en The Land Before Time (y prestando su voz a sus secuelas que Spielberg no ha participado), ¿Quién engañó a Roger Rabbit?, y programas de televisión tales como Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, SeaQuest DSV. Trabajó con Tom Hanks en Saving Private Ryan, Atrápame si puedes, La terminal, Bridge of Spies y The Post. Tom Cruise participó en Minority Report y La guerra de los mundos y Shia LaBeouf trabajó en Transformers, Eagle Eye, Indiana Jones y el reino de la calavera de cristal, Transformers: la venganza de los caídos y Transformers: el lado oscuro de la luna. Entre los miembros de la producción, Kathleen Kennedy se ha desempeñado como productora en todas sus películas importantes desde E.T., el extraterrestre. Otras relaciones de trabajo incluyen a Allen Daviau, un amigo de la infancia y la fotografía que filmó a principios de los años la película de Spielberg, Amblin', y la mayoría de sus películas hasta El imperio del sol; Janusz Kaminski, que ha trabajado en todas las películas desde La lista de Schindler y el editor Michael Kahn, quien ha editado cada película (excepto E.T., el extraterrestre).

Otro colaborador recurrente es John Williams, quien compuso la música desde  The Sugarland Express (con excepción de El color púrpura y Twilight Zone: The Movie). Spielberg es uno de los cineastas contemporáneos junto a George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, John Milius, y Brian De Palma, conocidos colectivamente como los «Movie Brats». Además de su función principal como director, Spielberg ha actuado como productor en un considerable número de películas, incluyendo los primeros éxitos de Joe Dante y Robert Zemeckis.

Cameos
Spielberg ha hecho cameos en The Blues Brothers, Gremlins, Vanilla Sky, Back to the Future y Austin Powers in Goldmember, así como pequeños cameos sin acreditar en otras películas. También hizo numerosos papeles cameo en los dibujos animados que Warner Brothers produjo, como Animaniacs, e incluso hizo referencia a algunas de sus películas. Spielberg se expresó en un episodio de Tiny Toon Adventures titulado Buster y Babs Ir hawaiano. Y en el videojuego Ratchet & Clank 3 este último rodaba películas de espías en las que el director tenía unas semejanzas a Spielberg.
También participó en el videoclip de su amigo Michael Jackson, «Liberian Girl».

Vida privada
Spielberg estuvo casado de 1985 a 1989 con la actriz estadounidense Amy Irving. En 1991 volvió a casarse, esta vez con la actriz Kate Capshaw, a quien conoció durante las audiciones para la película Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Spielberg no es solamente reconocido por su trabajo como director, sino también por sus acciones filantrópicas para organizaciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Righteous Persons Foundation, que destina dinero a varios proyectos judíos, especialmente organizaciones en memoria del Holocausto. También forma parte de la Junta de Consejeros de la Escuela de Cine-Televisión de la California State University.

Q: ADF force format stored in parquet from copy activity I've created an ADF pipeline that converts a delimited file to parquet in our datalake.  I've added an additional column and set the value using the following expression @convertfromutc(utcnow(),'GMT Standard Time','o').  The problem I am having is when I look at the parquet file it is coming back in the US format.
eg 11/25/2021 14:25:49
Even if I use @if(pipeline().parameters.LoadDate,json(concat('[{"name": "LoadDate" , "value": "',formatDateTime(convertfromutc(utcnow(),'GMT Standard Time','o')),'"}]')),NULL) to try to force the format on the extra column it still comes back in the parquet in the US format.
Any idea why this would be and how I can get this to output into parquet as a proper timestamp?

A: Mention the format pattern while using convertFromUtc function as shown below.
@convertFromUtc(utcnow(),'GMT Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

*

*Added date1 column in additional columns under source to get the required date format.

*

*Preview of source data in mappings. Here data is previewed as giving format in convertFromUtc function.

*Output parquet file:

I don't like seafood and I've only been to Red Lobster once in my life but when I spied this box of cheddar biscuit mix, I had to buy it. I'd heard about the yummy biscuits offered at the restaurant and once I confirmed there were no actual fish ingredients, I was excited to try them. The box cost $1.99 and you only need to add water, grated sharp cheddar cheese and some melted butter (for the topping).
It was very easy and quick to mix up the soft dough with a spoon and I used an ice cream scoop (medium size) to portion the biscuits. They bake for 14-16 minutes and then melted butter mixed with the garlic herb blend included in the box is spooned or brushed on the warm biscuits. They smelled like garlic bread - very garlicky!
I must say the biscuits were incredibly tender and flaky. They were actually scrumptious and although not the healthiest choice, were delightful! I would definitely buy these again but as I've never seen them before, they seem like a specialty item that won't be around permanently. I might have to go back and pick up a few more boxes for the pantry. As it was, there weren't many left on the display so I could be out of luck already.
I'm looking forward to having one with my soup for lunch today. It's bad to admit but I did put a little butter on mine last night. They are so moist and flavourful already that extra buttering is just gilding the lily!

Q: What's the most efficient way to process a large text file line by line I (think) I'm processing a text file line by line until I find a specific token;
(Psuedo Code)

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new FileReader("myTextFile.txt");
while (scanner.hasNext() {
    boolean found = process(scanner.nextLine();
    if (found) return;
}

Some of the files are huge. Does this code actually scan the file line by line or does either the Scanner or FileReader read the entire file into memory and then work it's way through the memory buffer line by line?

A: BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line;
boolean found = false;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
     if(line.equalsIgnoreCase("Your string"))
       found = true;
}

A: You want BufferedInputStream
public static void main(String[] args) {

        File file = new File("C:\\testing.txt");
        FileInputStream fis = null;
        BufferedInputStream bis = null;
        DataInputStream dis = null;

        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(file);

            bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
            dis = new DataInputStream(bis);

            while (dis.available() != 0) {
                System.out.println(dis.readLine());
            }

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                fis.close();
                bis.close();
                dis.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

source

A: Path filePath = Paths.get("myTextFile.txt");
boolean found = false;
try (BufferedReader br = Files.newBufferedReader(filePath, CharSet.forName(<char-set-name>)){
   for (String line = br.readLine(); line != null; line = br.readLine()) {
     found = process(line);
     if (found){
        break;
     };
   }

Professors Susan Bisom-Rapp and Rebecca Lee presented papers at the Eighth Annual Colloquium on Current Scholarship in Labor and Employment Law. This year's colloquium was held on September 27 – 28 and was hosted at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) by the William S. Boyd School of Law. UNLV Professors Ruben Garcia and Ann McGinley organized the conference. In 2008, Thomas Jefferson School of Law co-hosted the event in San Diego along with the University of San Diego and California Western Schools of Law.
"The annual colloquium has become the premier national conference for labor and employment law works-in-progress," said Professor Bisom-Rapp, "drawing labor and employment law professors from around the country." A highlight of this year's conference was a dinner hosted at the union hall of the Culinary Workers (Local 226). Accompanying the dinner was a panel, "Labor's History and Future in Nevada: From the Mines to the Casinos," featuring speakers who are labor leaders inLas Vegas and including a talk by labor historian Professor Michael Green of the College of Southern Nevada. Professors Bisom-Rapp and Lee presented their papers at UNLV on September 27. Professor Bisom-Rapp's paper, "It's Complicated: Age, Gender, and Lifetime Discrimination against Working Women – the U.S. and the U.K. as Examples," is co-authored with Professor Malcolm Sargeant, who teaches at Middlesex University Business School in London, UK. The paper tackles a pressing problem facing women in old age – the problem of falling into poverty at the end of their lives. Women in both countries suffer from multiple disadvantages before and during their working lives, resulting in significantly poorer outcomes in old age when compared to men. Older women of color are especially disadvantaged.
To address the causal factors, Bisom-Rapp and Sargeant develop a model of Lifetime Disadvantage, which considers the major factors that on average produce unequal outcomes for working women at the end of their careers. Integral to the model are the legal and policy efforts that lessen or magnify the factors' lifetime effects. Bisom-Rapp and Sargeant argue that regulatory schemes created on a piecemeal basis are unlikely to vanquish systemic inequality on the scale of gender-based lifetime discrimination. Indeed, recognizing the limitations of statutory and policy tinkering is the first step to developing a whole life approach to women workers that will bring greater economic equality in old age. Professor Lee presented her paper, "Reconceptualizing the Judge as Public Leader." In this piece, she looks at how we understand the work of judges, and addresses two important questions: does the public view the judge as a leader in larger society?, and do judges view themselves as public leaders? As she points out, if we think about how one becomes a viable candidate for a judgeship, successful judicial candidates have demonstrated leadership to some degree. Once on the bench, she argues, these individuals do not stop their leadership work – as judges, they instead engage in a different kind of leadership. To provide some qualitative data regarding judges' own perceptions about what they do as judges, her project will include an empirical component involving interviews with sitting federal and state judges. Professor Lee asserts in this work that judicial leadership is a significant but under-recognized aspect of a judge's work, and argues that we ought to reconceptualize the judge as public leader, in terms of how the public views judges as well as how judges themselves view their roles.
