A good power supply has always been a component that's recommended by ourselves and those who frequent our community forum. Everyone has their personal favourites, and a brand name may arguably count for more here than on any other PC component.
With the ever increasing need for power as technology development rampages onwards (especially if you're an avid overclocker or a gamer using SLI or CrossFire), then an efficient and solid power supply is an absolutely essential part to getting the most out of your system, without unnecessarily spending.
The standard (if somewhat uneducated) trick to determining if a power supply is worth having is by simply judging its weight; the heavier the better is the general consensus. However while that is true to a certain degree, other factors like adequate cooling without being too noisy, an efficient Power Factor Correction (PFC) and reliable power rails, are the fundamental differences between PSUs.
The PSUs were loaded with a specific current which applies a certain wattage to an applicable rail. The simple equation, Current (Amps) x Voltage (Volts) = Power (Watts) was used to determine this.
The official ATX specification is shown just above, and if a PSU falls outside this range, no matter how quiet it sounds or what kind of special cable management it has, it fails in what it's primarily designed to do. A poor power supply can affect total system stability and reliability causing no end of headaches.
If you fall in the 900W to 1100W and upwards range, we can only assume you're a user with a truly serious setup. Not one with just SLI and multiple hard drives, we mean extensive RAID and possibly optical drive arrays, multi GPU and multiprocessors (as opposed to just a multi-core) inhabit your abode. Does the average person really need a kilowatt power supply? No. Does the average enthusiast? Not necessarily either.
You really have to be thinking along the lines of investing some serious cash in some serious kit and you will need something equally intensive and reliable in order to power it all safely. Don't be fooled by marketing, even with two Radeon HD 2900XTs in your system, a quad core and half a dozen hard drives you'll "only" be needing to read our 700-850W group test.
The 80 plus programme is an independent certification that PSU manufacturers are now going after in order to fully ratify their product as capable of 80+ percent efficiency at 20, 50 and 100 percent loads and PFC of over 90 percent. It's an electric utility-funded incentive programme to force companies to make more efficient products as wattages spiral ever upwards, in order to save the consumer as much money as possible.
Traditionally people have looked for the Energy Star rating, of which 90 percent of computers on the market currently adhere to, but this was last revised in July 2000, which is somewhere in the region of a millennia in computer years. An updated Energy Star specification (version 4.0) will go into effect from July 20th, 2007 and will include the 80 Plus programme's requirements.
Some manufacturer's PSUs are already on the list, and of those reviewed today only the Enermax Galaxy DXX 1000W is currently on the list, however the site doesn't state when the list was last updated and it's hard to know which PSUs are now on or off the list.
In this way when you're putting in excess of 1kW through your system, even a small increase in efficiency can save quite a considerable amount of money in the long term.


Notice how it is called the Content Type Syndication Hub in the feature?
Configuring the content hub is a little tricky and not very intuitive. Here are some steps on how to do it.

light vs heavy rail...Tampa needs Light Rail, not trains (Clearwater: construction, subsidized)

As a former Pittsburgh resident, and a former operator of a light rail car, I would like to discuss light rail.
At PAT (transit authority) at one time had a massive trolley system. 666 miles of it at one time. they gave most all of it up in the early 60's and kicked themselves in the butt everyday after...
We did finally re-open light rail up there in 82. It was a resounding success! Way better than anyone had projected. It became the "baby" of the authority, and was well received by all who rode it. shave lots of time off commutes, virtually pollution free, and very safe. The cars were of high capacity, approx 180 per car, 2 cars to a train. We moved a LOT of people VERY quickly and efficiently. We had 85 cars.
On the flip side, we also had a commuter train that went McKeesport to Pittsburgh. That was a major flop. Very slow and smelly, It was abandoned in the early 80's in favor of buses, which were, more efficient than the train was.
We also built three busways, which were a great idea, like Harts idea for the BRT. The BRT is a good idea as well, but if only they could build a bus only roadway.
I understand there are differences between Pittsburgh and Tampa, and now that I am a Hart operator, I look so forward to the future of transit here in Tampa. I believe that it is going the right direction, and will do so pretty fast!
Here is a link to my LRT page on my Pittsburgh transit History Site. I am currently doing one for Tampa, since this is now home. take a look at what we had there...
Pittsburghs Light Rail...The "T"
http://www.tampabaytransit.info

Like you said, "this isn't Pittsburgh". The largest part of this type of transportation ends up running in the red and has to be subsidised by the taxpayers through increased taxes on gas and fees for car owners and of course the federal government, which is paid by everyone then. They never reach full capacity. I'll take my car and sit in traffic before I sit in one of them...
Tampa is know for mismanaging funds. Take the trolley fiasco for instance. Millions of dollars wasted for a tourist ride that goes nowhere. It runs in the red every year. And Tampa is very proud of their trolley
Light rail would work in Tampa if it offered express routes from suburban destinations to the work centers of the Bay area (Down Town, Westshore, TIA, Dale Mabry, Feather Sound, etc.) Connections at the sports venues need to be included as well. Light rail will only be accepted if people can get to their jobs faster than if they were to drive themselves. This is the problem with the Bus service. There are so many stops that it is faster to drive yourself. Also, the Hartline routes have all but abandoned the suburban commuter and focus mainly of providing shuttle service for inner city residents. Its sad, but they dont really go anywhere useful. People do not feel safe riding them. And, as bnepler pointed out, they end up being subsidized but the taxpayer.
Light rail would be great for Tampa, but the stigma over public transportation caused by Hartline has frightened many drivers away. People in Tampa are not accustomed to light rail since Florida has never really had it so adoption will be very difficult.

By the time Tampa gets a light rail people will be traveling by spaceship.

I been to other countries that use the rail system. Americans will have to be forced to ride it and live in the inner cities for it to be a success. I'm not ready to live in the cities nor give up my car. Spend a couple weeks in Europe, Asis or any other continent that depends on trains and you'll see why they don't go over big here. It's called "freedom". It's something we have and most others don't.

Generation Y is extremely supportive of public transit options. As that generation starts hitting the polls, more public transit systems (namely light rail) will start dotting the country. This is already being seen in Denver, Seattle, Houston, Dallas (too many to name). Light rail is being embraced across America. It is only a matter of time before it comes to Tampa as well.
Public transportation took a massive reputation hit after the de-industrialization and white flight of the North from 1960 to 1990. Eventually, it developed a negative connotation to it like 'if you use public transit, you must be a poor person'. This didn't happen in Europe or Eastern Asia, so their public transit didn't go into decline. Its not that Americans are 'free', its that our middle class decided they were too good to use public transit for 30 years.

Nicely done pages, Shawn.
Tampa, sadly, is a victim of both relentless sprawl and the attitudes of many of those in the sprawliest edges. Public transportation, in most minds, equal buses, which (though it isn't always said) equals Certain Kinds of People. For the Humvee population out beyond Port Lando'wesleyhillsville, it just isn't happening.
OTOH, for the last two years of his Clearwater-downtown Tampa commute, my husband rode a PSTA commuter bus. As gas prices rose, so did ridership-- drastically. If the entire area can ever work together (and that may involve Four Horsemen, given the history of Pinellas/Hillsborough cooperation, let alone trying to pull in Manatee or Pasco), I think it's a possibility.

LOL.... A powerpoint presentation, big deal, nothing is in the works.
Like I said people will be traveling by spaceship before you see a lightrail.
Road construction here takes way too long, never mind the implementation of a major transit system.

DDWS announces 'Ding' Day photo contest winners
By Staff | Oct 24, 2019
KENT JAGER "White-eyed Vireo" won first place.
On Oct. 20, the "Ding" Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge announced the winners of its annual "Ding" Darling Day Amateur Nature Photography Contest at a special presentation in the refuge's Visitor & Education Center as part of the "Ding" Day celebration.
On Oct. 8, judges had selected three winners and 11 honorable mentions out of 191 entries from 20 states and Switzerland – one of the highest number of entries in the contest's 27 years. All photograph entries were shot at the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge complex on Sanibel.
First place went to Kent Jager, of Sanibel, for his white-eyed vireo portrait. Contest judge and professional photographer David Meardon remarked on the bird's rare appearances at the refuge and the photographer's exacting technique.
"The lighting is even, the bird is sharp and separated well from the soft green background," he said. "And the bird is expressive."
Martha Huard, of Bokeelia, took second place with a photo of a yellow-crowned night heron titled "Flight."
MARTHA HUARD "Flight" won second place.
"I like the simplicity of the pattern," DDWS Past President Doris Hardy, an avid birder and refuge volunteer who also judged the contest, said. "I like the colors, and I think it will reproduce quite well. And I like this bird; I see it a lot when we are out removing monofilament from the refuge."
In third place was Larry Brophy, of Fort Myers, with an American alligator shot titled "Keep Your Distance."
"We usually see a lot of birds in the contest, but the alligator is also an iconic refuge animal," Supervisory Refuge Ranger Toni Westland, the third judge, said. "Reptiles are so often misrepresented; we need to give them some love."
"We always choose three judges for the contest," DDWS Emeritus Board Member Terry Baldwin, who coordinates the contest along with Development Officer Sierra Hoisington, said. "They include a refuge staff member, a professional photographer and a member of the Sanibel community."
The three winners received cash awards from DDWS at the presentation – $300 for first place, $225 for second, and $175 for third. In addition, each honorable mention winner received a $25 award, which reflects a refund of the contest entry fee.
LARRY BROPHY "Keep Your Distance" won third place.
They included:
– Virginia Bayne, of Fort Myers, "Stance of the Yellow-Crowned Night Heron"
– Frank Brinker, of Switzerland, "Refreshing Bath"
– Thomas Brott, of Cape Coral, "Reddish Preening"
– Bill Fischer, of Sanibel, "Mangrove Cuckoo Flying"
PHOTO PROVIDED Contest judges pore over 191 entries: photographer David Meardon, DDWS Past President Doris Hardy and Supervisory Refuge Ranger Toni Westland.
– Chris Gutierrez, of Holbrook, New York, "Shells on Shells"
– Haoyu Li, of Lake Placid, "Bullying"
– Karen Lund, of Fort Myers, "Grab and Catch"
– David Mintz, of Lehigh Acres, "Breakfast"
– Liz Noffsinger, of Fort Myers, "Waiting for Food"
– Sharon Peace, of Center, Texas, "Mr. Roseate"
– Marletta Short, of Sanibel, "Learning to Fly"
The winning photographs and honorable mention award entries will be on display in the refuge's Education Center throughout the year.

Key Technology Fluoraptor Laser Sorting System
The FluoRaptor system process begins with separating the vegetable material.
The Optyx Raptor system has visible/infrared cameras to detect even small defects in a product.
The screen on the FluoRaptor system displays information about what the laser scans and sees.
The Optyx Vis/IR camera allows detection of even small colour differences in vegetables, such as dark patches or bruises.
The FluoRaptor system can detect and remove foreign bodies such as cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and also insects from fresh leaf products.
One of the most important aspects of food processing and packaging is to maintain the quality of the product. Customers can be put off at the last moment at the point-of-sale and so it is paramount to present the product correctly and provide only the best.
One of the markets in which this is especially important is fruit and vegetables; no consumer wants to buy an apple or carrot with a dark patch or a defect, despite the fact that it might still be perfectly good.
One system which has made a significant contribution to helping suppliers sort vegetables and only pick the grade-one produce for the supermarket shelves is based on a fluorescence-sensing laser. The system uses a laser sensor to detect the defects in the vegetables (both fresh and frozen) so that they may be rejected.
The system, which is called FluoRaptor, is a fluorescence-sensing laser sorter. The system was designed to maximise the detection and removal of defects, foreign material and extraneous vegetable matter on vegetable sorting lines.
The system was developed by Key Technologies and works based on sensing differing levels of chlorophyll and also colour, size, and shape of the product being sorted. It uses one of the most powerful laser systems available which works in conjunction with a trichromatic Vis/IR (visible/infared) camera system.
This optical system uses a high-resolution laser scanner to detect even small defects; the signal-to-noise ratio has been improved to produce the most accurate product signature.
The system is used in conjunction with the Optyx 3000 (612mm, 24in, 6t per hour) narrow belt sorting system and also the Optyx 6000 (1,220mm, 48in, 12t per hour) sorting system. It can be quickly switched over to detect new parameters during product changeovers; no cameras have to be changed.
With its Vis/IR cameras the Optyx FluoRaptor can analyse size and shape of the vegetables – or leaves in the case of salad – as well as millions of very slight colour differences. One example is in the sorting of peas: the system can distinguish between peas, the pod material which is the same colour, the vine and the leaf. It can even determine between fresh and frozen peas and also establish whether they have been blanched or not.
But the system is not just about vegetable material. For fresh leaf products such as salad leaves, spinach and spring greens, the system can detect and remove foreign bodies such as cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and also insects.
"The system can detect and remove foreign bodies such as cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and also insects."
In the processing of cabbage, and iceberg and romaine lettuce, the system can also remove the core from the vegetable to aid in processing.
The system has a full colour display to show the operator a laser image of the vegetables on the belt, allowing time for the operator to adjust the accept/reject threshold for vegetables to be retained and those to be rejected. The computer system is easy to use for the operator as it has an icon based graphical user interface (GUI), which can be accessed on the machine or remotely via intra or internet.
The system parameters for the set-up can be stored on the system's G6 computer or alternatively can be transferred from a USB key for rapid changeovers. The system is modular and can also be connected to a range of standards for image transfer, including Camera Link, FireWire and Ethernet.

Morning Meeting + Reading = Learning FUN!
Trying to fit everything into a day is near impossible! Ask any teacher! So I love when I can combine 2 things into 1 lesson! More bang for the buck as my dad would say!
I LOVE to combine Morning Meeting with Reading!
I have the student pick a card to stretch, blend, then read (some old timers call this sounding it out)! The student then has to tape the card on his/her shirt. Click here for Cvc Games that will help develop fluency.
Each student then walks around the room to find a partner. Each partner must do some type of class greeting; we love to shake hands!! We will change the greeting to make it fun each week!
The partner team has to take turns reading the other friends shirt! Sometimes friends have to help each other! Click here to see how we blend CvC words. Partners then change and keep reading! We work until we have greeted each friend or time is up!
This great practice has us talking and speaking to each other to start the day... and we practice reading! I LOVE when we combine 2+ things!

I hope you teach magically daily!
Smart way! You can get two things done at the same time, and the kids have fun too. Good for you.
Excellent and very exciting site. Love to watch. school list in east delhi Keep Rocking.

File photo: The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stratton pulls into port at Coast Guard Island, Alameda, Calif. after a 97 day deployment in the Eastern Pacific Ocean in 2014.
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Coast Guard saw a nearly fivefold increase in the number of migrants it intercepted off the coast of southern California in 2018, underscoring the challenge that will remain in stopping illegal migration even if President Donald Trump secures funding for his southern border wall.
The numbers, released to The Washington Post in recent days, show the service intercepted 1,022 migrants at sea there in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. That was up from 213 in 2017 and 142 in 2016.
Nationwide, the number of migrant intercepts at sea dropped from 2,512 in 2017 to 1,668 in 2018, indicating a shift in which more migrants are now intercepted off the West Coast. The majority of migrants taken into custody there come from Central and South America, while migrants caught along the East Coast are more likely to come from Haiti or other islands in the Caribbean Sea.
A Coast Guard spokesman, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Barry Lane, said that the migrants intercepted at sea in 2018 come from numerous countries in the Western Hemisphere, including Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Guatemala. Others came from farther away nations that include China, Sri Lanka, India and Jordan, he said.
For years, the Coast Guard intercepted more migrants off the coast of Florida than anywhere else. Those numbers plummeted in 2017, after the Obama administration normalized diplomatic relations with Cuba and ended the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy that allowed most Cubans who made the 90-mile trip by sea to pursue legal residency.
The service also intercepted 209,000 kilograms of cocaine at sea in 2018, falling just behind its record grab of 223,843 kilograms in 2017. The majority of those drugs are interdicted by a handful of Coast Guard cutters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, as they meet ships heading from Central and South America.
Intercepts at sea represent a fraction of a much larger trend. Customs and Border Protection reported 415,517 total apprehensions at the southern border in fiscal 2017, and 521,090 more in fiscal in 2018. More than 60,000 migrants were arrested in each of the last three months attempting to enter the country illegally.
But the statistics will still serve as new fodder for advocates of the Coast Guard, whose service members are among the federal employees working without pay amid a partial government shutdown caused by a political dispute over President Trump's proposed southern border wall. Service members are due a pay check on Tuesday, and unlikely to get their money. The shutdown was 24 days old – and the longest in U.S. history – as of Monday.
Although the service is considered a part of the U.S. military, it has no funding because it is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Most other branches of service are part of the Defense Department, which has funding approved.
The shutdown also has threatened the pensions of Coast Guard veterans. Adm. Charles Ray, the service's No. 2 officer, said in an email to retirees on Saturday that there is the "distinct possibility" that retiree pay and money for the Survivor's Benefit Plan, an insurance policy for the surviving spouses of Coast Guard veterans, may be delayed if the shutdown continues into late January.
"Please be assured that we are continuing to work closely with the Department of Homeland Security, the Administration, and Congress to reduce the impacts of this funding lapse on our Coast Guard workforce – past and present – and I will keep you informed as additional information becomes available," Ray wrote.
The shutdown has put other strains on the service, as Trump seeks funding for the wall. The president has promised to fund new polar icebreaker ships for the Coast Guard, but funding for them is no longer a certainty. A Senate appropriations bill passed last year included $750 million for the first ship, but the House version did not include the money. It is not clear whether the money will be included if a spending bill makes it to the White House.
The Coast Guard commandant, Adm. Karl Schultz, has posted a series of social-media messages in recent days as he seeks to reassure the force.

Q: pandas DataFrame is not handling decimal point numbers I am working with a dataframe with which I am performing maths on each value, deviding small numbers by large numbers. This should leave with me with very small decimal point numbers, but my dataframe is just converting these to 0.
An example would be that I divide 2577 by 3022356 which gives me 0.0008526460814013968, but the entry in the dataframe is just 0.
Is there anything I can do so that the dataframe displays the correct value?
Example in my code:
for index, row in data.iterrows():
    for key in row.keys():
        row[key] = float(row[key]) / float(row['total'])

    data.iloc[index] = row

This iterates through every row, iterates through all the keys in each row except that last two. Then decides each value with a total. I have added the float() based on suggestion but the value placed back into data is just 0 as opposed to the correct value.

A: You can set the numerator and denumerator to floating point to make sure the conversion is right, so it would be float(2577)/float(3022356).

A: Here is a little example of what the code will look like, but within your DataFrame you might want to use the function df.loc[(row_index),(column_index)] to call the numbers from within the DataFrame.
number1 = float(2577)
number2 = float(3022356)

answer = number1/number2

print(answer)

you could also try this
x = df.loc[row,column]
flo = float(x)
x = "{0:.10f}".format(flo)
#print(x)
df.loc[row,column] = x

this would tell it to format it as 10 decimal places

The Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Concealer comes in a simple plastic tube paired with a basic doe-foot applicator. Most of the tube is coated in black with the exception of a rectangular window, which shows the shade inside. The packaging here is definitely a little plain in comparison to other YSL products but given that it contains 5 ml of product, compared to Touche Éclat's 2.5 ml, I'm not complaining too much.
For the longest time, I had actually been using the YSL Touche Éclat as a concealer as I loved the amazing texture and finish. So when I discovered the All Hour Concealer, I was beyond ecstatic because it basically feels like Touche Éclat, but with a much better coverage. YSL describes it as a full-coverage concealer that lasts 16 hours and although the pigmentation is great, I wouldn't say it's the most opaque I've tried. It will cover most blemishes but if you are looking for a heavy-duty spot concealer, you may be disappointed. However, as you can see below, the formulation camouflages most discolorations with no problem at all. In terms of wear, this also doesn't last 16 hours. With that said, the formulation fades gracefully without looking cakey or blotchy.
Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer in "2 Ivory" & "3.5 Natural"
So despite the fact that the All Hours Concealer doesn't quite stand to its promise of a full-coverage, 16-hour wear, I still love it because the formulation looks amazing. The concealer blends seamlessly and the pigments fuse to the skin so perfectly that it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup. There's no clinging or settling and the natural matte finish looks and feels just like skin. With me heading into my late 20's, fine lines and creasing under the eyes are becoming an issue. With the All Hours Concealer, however, I've experienced minimal creasing, even when I pair it with a powder. The shorter wear time on my oily skin (~8-10 hours before I notice significant fading) is a drawback but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make for the beautiful, natural finish.
Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer in "2 Ivory"
As mentioned, I was initially sent the shade "3.5 Natural". It is a light-medium beige which actually worked pretty well for my skin tone when I mixe it with the YSL Touche Éclat White. A much better match for me, however, is the shade "2 Ivory", which is a light ivory that swatches a lot warmer than it actually wears on the skin. So there you have it, an amazing concealer from Yves Saint Laurent that has truly become a holy grail product! If you are looking for a medium-full coverage concealer with a dreamy, skin-like finish, then definitely check this out!
YSL is available online and in stores at Sephora, Hudson's Bay, Nordstrom, and Holt Renfrew.

- The system is configured to allow video capture from below the mice during treadmill locomotion. Hardware consists of a treadmill with a clear transparent belt and a digital video camera (Basler A301fc) mounted below. A rectangular, opaque plexiglas testing chamber (20 x 4 x 16.5 cm) is mounted over the tread and serves to keep the mouse within view of the camera. Illumination of the ventral side of the mouse is adjusted to obtain optimal contrast between the paws and body of the mouse. The digital camera operates at 100 frames per seconds (fps) with a resolution of 658 x 494 pixels and the camera output is fed directly (Firewire IEEE-1394) to a 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM computer.
The Treadscan™ software determines when individual paws are in contact with the treadmill and then uses this determination to derive more than 20 different measures including standard time-domain gait parameters (stride, stance and swing time). Analysis is interactive and provides frame-by-frame feedback that allows the user to confirm that the mouse is walking with a consistent pattern and that the paws are tracked accurately. Measurements of improper strides (e.g. paw not being tracked, mouse moving forward or back on tread) can be flagged and excluded from the data output.
a. Standard video capture protocol. Camera settings, lighting and treadmill speed (20 cm/s for all studies) are preset and background images including distance calibration are captured, prior to introduction of the mouse.
b. Each mouse is placed into the testing chamber where it could be seen live on the computer screen and within 15 s the treadmill is turned on and operating at 20 cm/s.
c. The mouse walking is then recorded for a preset fixed number of frames (796 frames) after which the treadmill is stopped and the mouse removed from the testing chamber.
d. Each mouse is in the testing chamber for a maximum total of 45-60 s.
e. A step cycle or stride consists of two consecutive contacts of a given foot. At least 5 strides for each foot is included for a given data set. Only strides recorded when the mice are walking in a fixed position relative (i.e. at the preset speed) to the camera are included. Whenever possible consecutive strides are used. However, in the presence of intervening aberrant strides (e.g. jumps or partial steps), as do periods of "stop and go" walking, data from most mice included 2 or 3 sets of consecutive strides for a given trial.
f. Stored video recordings are subsequently analyzed to derive standard gait indices including gait score. See definitions.
g.The tread is cleaned between trials.
Gait analysis compliance scores (see Definitions below).

Home News centre Plans for schools to tackle rising pupil numbers
Plans for schools to tackle rising pupil numbers
Published Thursday, 10th August 2017
Recommendations to ensure the Capital's schools tackle the demands of increased pupil numbers and meet future provision have been drawn up by the City of Edinburgh Council.
A new report, Schools and Lifelong Learning Estate Strategic Review, lays out the challenges that lie ahead as the city's population continues to grow.
The report, which will be discussed by Councillors on the Education, Children and Families Committee next week (Tuesday 15 August), proposes:
Engaging with the local community on the design of a replacement Castlebrae High School and preparing for a statutory consultation later in the year
Starting informal consultation on future school provision in the west and south west of Edinburgh
Progressing informal consultation on the future provision of secondary Gaelic Medium Education in the city
Progressing a feasibility study for additional capacity for Boroughmuir High School on a site at India Quay
Agreeing to extend the Wave 4 feasibility study for Trinity Academy to consider detailed design of sports facilities on playing fields near the school
Councillor Ian Perry, Education, Children and Families Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: "Schools in Edinburgh face a unique challenge in coping with an ever-increasing population that goes hand in hand with the Capital being such a thriving and successful city.
"Planning for the future of our school estate is vital and a key element of our ongoing strategic review. In recent years, we have successfully delivered an additional 74 modern, high quality classrooms in our primary school estate to deal with rising roll pressures and last year opened state of the art new high schools at James Gillespie's and Portobello.
"Work has already started on the construction of a new St John's RC Primary School and the design of a new primary school to the south of the city centre. Approval has also been given for a new primary school in south east Edinburgh and the relocation of Victoria Primary School.
"However, we cannot be complacent and have to ensure this positive work continues into future years. This report identifies emerging issues for our schools and lifelong learning estate which we need to deal with now and come up with deliverable solutions including funding considerations. We will of course consult fully with our school communities as we progress any plans.
"The successful exam results this week demonstrate the high level of teaching being delivered in our schools and we need to take all the steps we can to ensure this first class education continues for the children of Edinburgh."

JBPM taskInstance variable is null when navigating to another page.
I have a JBPM application. I have homepage that lists Students waiting for approval to be enrolled.
Now, when the tempStudentEntry.xhtml, there is no value in the inputText that I assigned to one of the variables of the taskInstance. I assumed the value of the taskInstance variable is the one i previously selected/clicked from the homepage.xhtml. But it seems i am wrong with my assumptions.
I can always resort to having an EntityBean for the jbpmtaskInstance table but i think i am not utilizing what is built-in with seam.
1. Re: JBPM taskInstance variable is null when navigating to another page.
What I did was on the s:link tag on homepage, i had the action property equals to a method on a bean with a @BeginTask annotation.
to just taskInstance.variables, the code-suggest function of Eclipse, is offering a different taskInstance class.
Could someone please explain why does a task need to be started before accessing its variables or properties?

I saw it at the library the other day, but I think it was just the theatrical version.


What makes our masonry heaters unique?
The core of our business philosophy is that we only produce 'genuine' and 'solid' soapstone stoves. The distinctive characteristic of our type of masonry heaters is that the hot smoke, which contains by far the largest part of the energy from the fire, is in direct contact with the stone. This creates optimum heat storage conditions, about 5 to 10 times higher than in steel stoves that have soapstone claddings. The principle of the hot smoke being in direct contact with the stones which absorb the heat also guarantees the low surface temperature of the stove. Another good thing is that small genuine soapstone stoves also have excellent heat storage properties. However, due to the stove's smaller heat storage reservior, it should not be fired up too many times in quick succession since the capacity of the total heat that can be stored is less than for bigger masonry heaters. The heat stored in the stones of all our stoves will pleasantly warm the room for many hours. Experience a genuine soapstone stove from us at one of our authorised dealers: 'touching is believing'!

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/coddle-cpp/coddle.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/coddle-cpp/coddle)

Yet another build and package system. :)

Your project have only C/C++ source code, the tool is figuring out and
installing all dependencies automatically. No config or make files required.

You create source files such as src1.cpp, src2.cpp, header1.hpp, header2.hpp in
the directory of your project "prj". Type:

```
$ coddle
```

The build system will automatically figure out how to make the binary out of
your source code. No configuration file is required at all.

The goal is to make it work for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and iOS (Android maybe).

A decision was made to support clang only.

## Dependencies

- computer or laptop
- git
- clang
- access to the Internet (sorry the tool would work purely without Internet)

### Linux

### MacOSX
- brew if you want to use pkgconfig

### Windows
- MSYS2

## Deployment

### Linux/MacOSX
```
$ git clone https://github.com/coddle-cpp/coddle.git && cd coddle && ./build.sh && sudo ./deploy.sh; cd ..
```

Example:
```
remoteRepository="https://github.com/coddle-cpp/coddle-repository.git"
```

### remoteVersion
Git branch or tag for the package repository.

Default value: ```master```, ```win``` for Windows and ```macosx``` for MacOSX.

Example:

```
remoteVersion="master"
```

### localRepository
Path to the local repository. Values of the local repository override values from remote repository.

The default value is an empty string.

Example:
```
localRepository="../coddle-repository"
```

### srcDir
Path to the directory where located source files.

Default value: ```.``` current directory.

Example:
```
srcDir="src"
```

### targetDir
The path where coddle should put binary.
Default value: ```.``` current directory.

Example:
```
targetDir="bin"
```
### artifactsDir
Path where coddle should put build artifacts.

Default value: ```.coddle```

Example:
```
artifactsDir="build"
```

### debug
Sets the level of optimization and symbols. If debug set optimization is
disabled and symbols are included in the binary.

Default value: ```false```

Example:
```
debug=true
```

You also can set debug from the command line:
```
coddle debug
```

### multithreaded

Specifies if your project uses threads.

Default value: ```false```

I was not able to figure out how to detect it automatically. Sorry...

Example:
```
multithreaded=true
```

### winmain

Specifies if your project is a Windows application.

Default value: ```false```

Example:
```
winmain=true
```

## Repository format

Your repository should have libraries.toml file. The file is just a list of libraries.

Example of one entry:

```
[[library]]
type="git"
name="cpptoml"
path="https://github.com/skystrife/cpptoml.git"
includes=["cpptoml.h"]
incdir="include"

Our aim is to make Mohun Bagan play better than East Bengal- Kibu Vicuna
Written by: Mohun Bagan A.C
The 47-year-old tactician talked about himself, his challenges, his latest project and more.
After a string of dismal performance in the 2018-19 season of the I-League, Mohun Bagan have already started to rebuild their squad for next season. The Mariners have already brought in a new head coach in Spaniard Kibu Vicuna, who will have a massive task of taking Mohun Bagan back to their glory days.
In a recent exclusive chat with Mohun Bagan media, Vicuna talked about himself, his challenges, his recent project and more. Here are the excerpts to the interview:
First of all, let us extend a warm welcome to you from Mohun Bagan & our fans. Even a few years ago, Spanish coaches were rare in Indian football. However, with Spain's dominance in international football, more Spanish coaches are now becoming part of Indian clubs. What inspired you to take on the challenge of I-league & Mohun Bagan ?
Vicuña: I read a lot about Indian football. Last season there were a lot of Spanish players and coaches in your country. I had other possibilities but I felt that I had to take up this big challenge in the biggest club in India, Mohun Bagan.
You have worked as an assistant with Jan Urban in some of the biggest clubs in Poland. How much of an influence has he been over you?
Vicuña : He is a fantastic coach and he was a very successful player in Spanish League. He also played the World Cup in Mexico '86 with Poland. We made the UEFA Pro license together and we have a very similar point of view about football. He was the best influence for me.
Other than Urban, have you worked with or attended coaching courses under any other coach?
Vicuña: Yes, I attended a lot of Spanish courses. For example, in the last two UEFA Pro Courses in Spanish Football Federation, we had conferences with Pep Guardiola and his staff. Other names are Mauricio Pochettino, Unai Emery, Marcelo Bielsa, Diego Simeone, Julen Lopetegui, Vicente Del Bosque.
I think you are aware of this that last year was not great for Mohun Bagan. What will be your initial planning to change the football status from that of a losing team to a winning team?
Durand Cup 2019: Fixtures, venue, coverage & more
Vicuña : First, we have to build a good team in order to get the best results. We are working on it. I would like to build a strong team tactically and also to have an offensive style team which be able to control the tempo of the games.
Do you have any preferred formation or playing style?
Vicuña : In the last two clubs we played with 4-3-3 shape, but more than the shapes we have to build our own style and model of play. I would like to have Mohun Bagan play good offensive football. This is our objective.
What steps will you take to improve the overall grades of Indian players?
Vicuña : First we have to train the team and know the players' abilities. Then, we have to meet with them in order to know their strengths and their weaknesses. I also like to train individually with the players in order to help them to improve their quality. I also want to have a look at the young players of the club.
What is your plan to build a good supporting staff team?
Vicuña : The staff is very important. We have to work together and hard in order to get the best results. We have to work coordinated. Second coach, assistant coach, physical coach and goalkeeper coach, we have a lot of work: improve our team, record the training sessions, give the players video feedback, make analysis of our team matches, analysis of our opponents, improve tactically as a team, make the players improve individually.
As you are quite new to Indian football what is your plan about selecting the Indian players of squad?
Vicuña : We are working with the club in order to get the better players. I am watching the games of last season. I gave the club my opinion about the players and I gave suggestions about what we need to improve. I also gave the names of some Indian players who play in other teams. Also, I want to see the young players of Mohun Bagan youth teams.
Kolkata is a football crazy city and Mohun Bagan has the biggest fan base in India. What do you expect from the fans and what should the fans expect from you?
Vicuña: I expect a lot of support from them. We have to work together (fans, management, players and staff) in order to get the best results.
The first tournament you will be participating with Mohun Bagan is Calcutta Football League. This traditionally takes place during monsoon in Kolkata. The playing turf often becomes sticky & muddy after rains. Do you think this will in any way hamper the style you prefer?
Vicuña: We have to be ready to face everything. We are a professional team and we have to be prepared. We are going to prepare for Calcutta Football League as best as possible.
Exclusive: ATK close in on Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem
Dream big and fearlessly support Mohun Bagan- Kibu Vicuna's message to fans
Filling the void: Why is the out-and-out striker a dying breed in Indian football?
You must have heard about the great rivalry between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal which is one of the keenly contested derbies of Asia . Have you got any such experience before and how did you manage the pressure of derby?
Vicuña: Yes, I heard about it. In Poland also I have seen the rivalry between Legia Waraw and Polonia Warszawa, Lech Poznan and Polonia Warszawa. In all countries there are a lot of football rivalries.
Mohun Bagan and East Bengal are the rival clubs of Bengal. Last year East Bengal have appointed another Spanish coach Alejandro Menéndez. Do you know him? If yes, what is your thoughts on him?
Vicuña: I don't know him personally. He is a good coach but our aim is to make Mohun Bagan play better than them and obtain better results than them.
Who is your favourite coach?
Vicuña: Pep Guardiola. I also like Bielsa, Lopetegui, Simeone and Klopp.
At present who do you think the best footballer?
Vicuña: Lionel Messi.
Do you have any special message for the supporters?
Vicuña: We need your support because together we have to build a very strong team. I want every Mohun Bagan supporter to be proud of his team in this season. We are working hard in order to get the best team possible. Thank you for your support and see you soon!

Redistricting commission's cooperative spirit contrasts with last year's acrimony
WXXI News | By Karen DeWitt
Published December 1, 2022 at 4:55 PM EST
Wangkun Jia
The New York state Capitol building.
A year ago, a redistricting process began to draw new lines for state elected officeholders. It ended in acrimony — and in court.
On Thursday, though, New York's redistricting commission found accord.
Redistricting Commission Chair Ken Jenkins and Vice Chair Charlie Nesbitt presented a united front, standing together and taking questions from the media after the board's five Republicans and five Democrats voted unanimously on a set of maps that would reconfigure — for the second time since 2020 — the state Assembly's 150 seats for the next election cycle.
"We've done some very productive work together," Nesbitt said.
"Absolutely," Jenkins agreed.
It's a marked difference in tone from when the process first began, in December 2021. Then, the panel presented dueling maps: one favored by Democrats, the other by Republicans.
Democrats, who lead both houses of the Legislature, approved the maps drawn by Democratic commissioners. But Republicans went to court and won, and a special master drew the new lines for the 2022 elections. The GOP flipped four seats in Congress under the new districts, helping the Republicans win narrow control of the U.S. House.
The second redrawing of the Assembly lines is part of a separate court challenge that could not be resolved in time for the 2022 vote. Nesbitt, a Republican, said this time, the process was far more cooperative.
"There's a bipartisan will to get this done in an appropriate way," Nesbitt said. "That perhaps didn't exist before this."
Jenkins, a Democrat, said the commissioners were also aware that the process this time is under the direction of a court ruling, which commanded the commission to redraw the Assembly lines.
"We are going to follow the law, and we're going to work together to get the job done," Jenkins said. "It requires the work of compromise."
Jenkins replaced former commission chair David Imamura, who resigned last month. Imamura told USA TODAY Network that the process was a "spectacular failure," and he's published articles describing what he believes went wrong.
Imamura is now seeking election to the Westchester County Board of Legislators.
Government reform groups have called for a restructuring of the commission. A 2021 ballot proposal to make changes to the redistricting process failed. Jenkins and Nesbitt said Thursday's agreement proves the commission can work.
Next, the proposed maps will be subject to public hearings, beginning in January. The commission then has a chance to alter the maps, taking into account public input, and finally, the Legislature will vote on the new lines.
Under the judge's order, they must finish the process by the end of April.

Q: Finite set of non-collinear points on plane with every point having ≥ 3 equidistant neighbors? Does there exist a finite set of points on the Euclidean plane, such that:

*

*No 3 points are collinear, and

*Every one of the points has (at least) three other points in the set at the same distance from it?

It seems to me that the answer should be No, but my naïve attempts to prove it have failed.

A: Yes.
Place five points $P_1,P_2,P_3,P_4,P_5$ in a regular pentagon inscribed in the unit circle centered at the origin. For each of these points $P$, we're going to add another point $Q$ somewhere on the circle centered at $P$ and passing through the neighbors of $P$ on the pentagon:

If we choose consistent relative positions on each arc for the new $Q$'s, we will have five new points $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, Q_4, Q_5,$ arranged in another pentagon centered at the origin. Our construction currently makes all the $P_i$'s circumcenters, but not all the $Q_i$'s. We want each $Q_i$ to be equidistant from $Q_{i+2}, Q_{i+3},$ and $P_i$ (where we take indices mod $5$).
If we choose each $Q_i$ to be the midpoint of our arc, then the distance $\overline{Q_iQ_{i+2}}$ will be less than $\overline{Q_iP_i}$. On the other hand, if each $Q_i$ all the way to the side approaching $P_{i+1}$, then the distance will be greater. So by continuity, there is a point at which they are equal, and each $Q_i$ is a circumcenter.

A: While there are 6-point solutions, and 6 is the minimum, nevertheless there is a 7-point solution that feels to me to be the simplest, and it's very symmetric, namely
the regular 6-gon (hexagon) together with it's center.

A: I can't say much about colinearity here, but the current record holder in the Polymath Project for the "Hadwiger-Nelson problem" lists a 510-vertex unit distance graph of chromatic number 5, so in particular, an arrangement of 510 points where every point has at least four other points at distance 1.

A:
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

A: This text is an extended Answer that I have posted some 17h ago and removed some 16h ago.
THE NEW PART: I've removed my answer because @PietroMajer has posted earlier (some 19h ago) an elegant 9-point example that had a richer and more impressive structure (and Pietro has posted a comment under the OP too). This 9-point solution contained a 6-point solution.
However, I've decided to mention the existence of that 6-point solution explicitly. Of the Pietro's 9 points one may take only 6-points
$$ \{\xi^k+c\cdot\xi^j: k=0,1,2\ \ \text{and}\ \ j=0,1\} $$
THE OLD PART (posted about 3h after @PietroMajer's solution):
In $\ \mathbb C,\ $ let $a$ and $b$ and $c$ be the vertices of a triangle such that $\ |a-c|=|b-a|=|c-a|=1.\ $ Let $\ v\in\mathbb C\ $ be such that
$\ |v|=1,\ $ and $\ \pm v\ $ be different from any $\ a-c\ $ or $\ b-a\ $ or
$\ c-a.\ $ Then the $\ 6$-point set consisting of points $\ x+v,\ $ where $\ x\ $ is any of the points $\ a\ $ or $\ b\ $ or $\ c\ $ together with these three points, provides an example of a $\ 6$-point planar set such that each point has distance $\ 1\ $ from at least three other selected points.
Is $\ 6\ $ the record or is it $\ 5?$ — I feel lazy :) but this should not be a difficult question to settle.
Oh, $\ 5\ $ is impossible. This is a simple exercise. Thus, the record is $\ \mathbf 6$.

PS. 5-point solution is impossible even if collinearity was allowed.

A: The figure below has all line segments shown congruent. The quadrilaterals sharing edges with the central triangle are squares.

A: Example: If $1,\xi,\xi^2$ are the three cubic roots of unity, (and $c$ is  generic, with $|c|=1$) $\xi^k+c\xi^j$ gives a set of $9$ points, no three of which collinear, where each point has $4$ points at the same distance.

The Movie Snobs
The Walking Dead 2/23/14
WALKING DEAD SPOILERS
Granted I do not know what will actually happen because ultimately the show is different from the comic and has a certain level of unpredictability to it. However, as a reader of the comics I can still offer plenty of insight into what is most likely to happen as this season progresses. Dr. Eugene is a phony. If you didn't stop to ask yourself what kind of scientist has a mullet you will inevitably hear someone else ask that very question in time. Eugene is just a hopeless loser that got a badass to believe in him, but he will eventually make himself useful. Eventually, as in seasons away that is and he is easily replaceable. On the other hand Abraham is the real deal. He's a badass on Michonne's level, just misguided and a bit prone to anger issues. He wholeheartedly believes that Eugene is who he says he is and he is willing to kill to protect him. In the comic Rick and Abraham butt heads pretty hard at first with Abraham going as far as to point his gun at Rick and consider killing him. In the end he learns to respect Rick and becomes Rick's de facto number two in the place of the recently killed Tyrese.
See here is a great example of how different things might be regardless what happened in the comics. Tyrese was completely different and much more important. The way that Herschel was killed was specifically how Tyrese was killed, in front of the prison by the Governor with Michonne's sword. However, in the comic Tyrese and Carol did have a relationship so maybe there is potential for that in the show. Yeah there is an elephant in the room when it comes to the two of them but they are paired up now and anything can happen. What she did at the prison was at the prison which at this point is ancient history. They have bigger fish to fry right now so to speak, yet I can still see plenty of potential for needless drama to come between Carol and Tyrese over what she did.
For the record, I think the show has been really terrific in the last couple of weeks. I like the differences I see in the show and consider it great on a lower level. When it comes to excitement over The Walking Dead it's all about the comics for me. I am always happy when this show surprises me but it's not on the same level as what it is based on. I can prattle on all day about what happened in the comics but it doesn't mean anything will happen in the show. If you really like this series I'd encourage you to read what it is based on. The comic is far and away superior, but the show still has plenty of tricks in its bag. For example, I don't know anything about where Rick, Carl, and Michonne are headed. That's a series original story line and it can go anywhere. I think by the end of the season we will see the whole group united and on it's way to Washington with Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene but until then anything can happen.

RYAN'S REVIEW
I was born in the 80's, need I say more? What young man sired in that decade didn't grow up loving He-Man and the battle for Castle Grayskull? When I was a kid watching this movie, action figures in hand, it didn't matter what the quality of the movie was. All that matter was that it was He-Man, and that made it awesome. I have owned this movie for years now and still love watching it from time to time to fulfill my own personal nostalgic needs. I still love this movie but will admit that it has plenty of flaws. I think there are specific reasons to argue that this movie is awesome as well as specific reasons to argue that it is garbage. Unfortunately there is no middle ground in that scenario and the overall product is in all truth less than stellar. Despite that, I see plenty in this movie to justify my opinion of it while knowingly and intentionally overlooking the things that can be easily criticized about the film.
Let's start with what I like about this movie. Aside from the simple fact that it is a film about He-Man, and that makes it awesome, there are several things this film did well. The costume design and make-up done by the special effects team was incredible. Skeletor looked awesome and Frank Langella did an incredible job with the part. Langella was eager to play the role because he had a young son at the time who, like myself and so many other boys, was obsessed with He-Man. I think his enthusiasm for the role can clearly be seen in the film because his performance was head and shoulders above all the other actors involved. Meg Foster also did a terrific job playing Evil-Lyn and her make-up and wardrobe were great. In fact all of the bad guys in this movie look awesome. Skeletor's mercenaries are a highlight of the film when their appearance is only taken into effect. Otherwise these guys are generally only seen running away from the action as the black robots are destroyed in mass quantities by He-Man and his associates. He-Man too I will say was great but only because he looked the part so well. Dolph Lundgren was certainly a great physical specimen although his acting left much to be desired. It's not really his fault because when this movie was being made he was not really fluent in English being from Sweden. He has apparently said his experience making this film was the worst he has had as an actor and he refused to reprise the role in the planned sequel that ultimately never got made.
There was a sequel planned and anybody who watched the movie through the credits could see that Skeletor lived and declared that he would be back. The planned sequel did get scripted and cast with a replacement for Lundgren (it was a professional surfer who was cast) but was never made when the studio that produced the film crumbled financially. I was able to find out very little about what the sequel was intended to be like but what I did find out all seemed really lame. I read that He-Man was disguised on Earth as a high school quarterback (really lame if true) and that Skeletor was also disguised on Earth as some sort of business man with diabolical desires. I don't know how accurate any of that is but that is what I read and in truth not much is actually known because that script was never made public. There was another script written at some point while they were continuing to try and get a film made. The other version was much more apocalyptic and when the film failed it was converted into the script for the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Cyborg. So it seems like the movie would have blown whether the studio went bust or not. The studio was very difficult to work with as I understand it with the making of this first film as they were already having financial troubles. The movie went way over budget and the director had to plead with them just to get the ending shot. If you will notice in the climax of the film nearly everything looks different once He-Man gets his sword and begins to fight Skeletor. This is because the final fight between the two was shot months after the initial shooting was finished and wasn't done until the studio finally allowed it to be done.
Now, on to what was wrong with this movie. I think the biggest problem is simply that the story written called for most of the film to take place on Earth. This was necessary with the budget restraints on the film as making a movie that took place entirely on Eternia would have been very costly. Unfortunately nearly everything that happens on Earth is a bit ridiculous. It takes four really nasty looking mercenaries to take on a teenage girl and they can't even accomplish that? Detective Lubic's character, played by James Tolkan from Back to the Future, was awful and did nothing but bring the film down. His assumption that the cosmic key may have been Russian are quite humorous and a clear example of the fears still lingering in the late 80s from The Cold War. The character of Gwildor was really lame and even as a kid I didn't like him. He was a made up character put in the place of Orko, who would have been difficult to have in the film because of budget and technological restraints. Some of the mercenaries were made up for the film as well and I have specifically never understood that. Why make up characters when you have such a rich gallery of villains to choose from. It wasn't from the lack of effort to make them because the characters that we see in the film all look incredible. It's a decision I couldn't find out anything about but I didn't really like it. At least we got to see Beast man, but it would have been cool to have more like Whiplash, Trap Jaw, or Tri-Klops. Although, if all these guys were going to do in the movie was run away from the action I don't know how cool it actually would have been.
Also worth mentioning is the cast in a few other roles. This was one of the first featured films Courtney Cox ever appeared in. Jon Cypher played the part of Man-At-Arms and did well with it. Some might remember him better from his role on Major Dad that aired during the early 90's. Barry Livingston, known mostly from his long run on My Three Sons, played the music store owner. Frank Langella, while great the whole time as Skeletor, did not actual perform the final battle scene with He-Man. That was done by Anthony De Longis, who played Blade in the rest of the film. De Longis also choreographed the fight scene itself, as well as any other time he himself sword fought with He-Man.
There has been talk for years about rebooting this franchise but nothing has ever come of it. At one point it looked like it might actually get made and John Woo was tagged to direct it but that fell apart a long time ago for reasons I don't know. I have my doubts that another He-Man movie will ever be made but that's not a bad thing. Maybe He-Man belongs where he is now; a relic from a decade that makes guys my age get nostalgic. That or the fact that who else would they ever get to play He-Man? Maybe the guy sounds ridiculous when he opens his mouth and tries to talk but otherwise Dolph Lundgren looked the part to a T. On the other hand, Skeletor is too cool a character to be locked away in the 80's basement. This is not a movie to be watched with a critical eye, and I doubt many will find it as entertaining as I do today but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's worth your time. If you were a He-Man fan and have never seen this I say go get it and check it out. If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about then check out The List and read a different review.
AMBER'S REVIEW
Such a fun movie to watch. I have no recollection whatsoever of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe from being a kid. I didn't know anything about it until I met Ryan. I don't really remember the first time he introduced me, but I know now it was important to him as a child, because a lot of different things in our life go back to He-Man or Battlecat. I really like the nonchalant attitude I can take while watching this movie.
I actually really like this poster. I think they take the necessary space to show you the important characters of the movie to bring in the fans, and then shows the human aspect to give you some foreshadowing of what the premise of the movie might be. There is a glowing light behind He-Man. It's quite awesome. This in truth is just another montage poster of characters from the movie, but giving that I think the movie is so carefree, I am giving this poster a pass. How could you hate on this?
