interesting looking on the dozen or so films I've seen for these lists since april, I've mostly focused on the bottom and the top of the BP winners. rather than the muddled middle where there could actually be revisits that may change the list. I think that's because I'm most interested in the fun of revisiting some of the top films (like Casablanca), and I am most curious about what I think of the bottom films now. I wasn't really planning on that approach, thinking I'd rewatch a lot in the 20-40 range, but as I've picked and chosen what to watch any given night, those have been the two categories that have tended to win out.

Of course I also always assume everyone in this board has seen a lot more films than I have, so maybe my assumption that everyone participating has seen all 92 is wrong. :-p
Speaking for myself, by a quick count I believe I've see 60 of them, many not for many, many years. But then again, I'm not participating except in a passive manner.

I went through all the winners back in 2012-13 and did rank them at the time, though I don't know how passionately I can stand by those judgments now.
I also apologize for not participating more in discussions here, especially since the synergy was unusually great with my own personal projects, but I've just been insanely busy trying to catch up on some new films and getting reacquainted with the library on the Criterion Channel. I will definitely submit a list.

In retrospect, given that we have two threads that have been around for a decade already devoted to these films, perhaps it's not so strange people have less to say than usual. Still, props to our participants and remember that you can submit a list/lists even if you haven't seen all or even most of the eligible films

After the moderately positive noises in this thread about Broadway Melody I decided to give it one more go.
It is terrible. The acting is atrocious, and the attempts by most of the actors to talk is just horrid, the line readings are often bad, full of awkward pauses. Makes the child actors in Skippy look like prodigies. It actually gets a bit better in the last ten minutes of the film, suggesting just how fast things were changing, that even within the few weeks of shooting they were figuring out and improving things (assuming they shot all the dialogue portions in rough continuity). the script has the occasional zinger and pre-code innuendo, twice making me actually laugh, but the delivery is so bad that it makes the script look bad but the script is merely mostly mediocre.
The titular song is of course great, the other songs are mediocre, the singers are meh, and the dancing and numbers are tepid as directed/edited/presented here.
The best part of the film is the opening ninety seconds, which is a fascinating dense and busy cacophony of sound that gets pulled down gradually as people gather to hear "The Broadway Melody".
But it is fascinating as a launching point for many musicals. I would still say Hollywood Revue is slightly better, even with some of the godawful parts, and having just seen King of Jazz last year, I think I was pretty unfair to it, as it is world's better than this, but I still rated it fairly low.
Absolutely in the bottom two of the winners list for me.
The Grand Hotel on the other hand, was slightly better than I remember. I love the opening with the phone conversations and the energy and pace of the film.
Right up until we come to a screeching halt when Garbo and Barrymore's romance takes center stage. Both actors are fine, the script is fine, the romance is fine. But the rest of the film is fun and energetic and their romance is not. So that dichotomy pulls the film down for me as I think it really doesn't work very well. But it is overall a quite good film.
Bridge on the River Kwai is such a pleasure to revisit, like Amadeus, I was also introduced to this film in middle school--in science class--it was the teacher's favorite film, and he had a whole multiweek project where we watched the film and then all had to learn about structural engineering by designing and gluing together little balsa wood pieces (like chopsticks) into a bridge. I learned triangles are strong in bridge structures.
In any event, after the project, I watched the film again on my own, and then several times in high school, but the last time being a couple viewings in college. Since unlike Lawrence of Arabia this never plays repertory, I've never got a chance to see it on the big screen, having missed the last two screenings in LA in 2002 (didn't know how to get to the theatre and had no car) and 2003 (bus driver strike).
I bought the bluray on the day it came out, and then never watched it. What's interesting is how struck I was this time by the film's cynicism, and how tightly paralleled the Saito and Nicholson are but that parallel is wrapped up in a critique of the structures of the military and military leadership. It's amazing that the film is as sympathetic to Saito as it is, and able to walk a tightrope of pretend "celebrating" Nicholson while constructing a narrative built out of criticizing the entire blasted system that creates and perpetuates him. what's impressive is that even William Holden's story is wrapped up in this theme. As a kid, I never quite registered the unfairness and levels of manipulation involved in sending him back with the commando team, so it was striking to see just how explicit the film is about all of this, particularly in some of Holden's dialogue still complaining about the stupidity of sending him back once they're in the jungle.
As the film faded for me over the years, I had kind of thought it wasn't as richly complex thematically and character wise as Lawrence of Arabia, more of a romp is what I remembered. but looking at it now, while it doesn't totally measure up to Lawrence, it is completely in the same vein and much richer than my teenage self grasped.
And I should really mention the pacing. I think this film and The Great Escape are two of the finest paced Hollywood "epics" ever done, neither feel like three hours, both fly by beautifully, all without being action dominant. Interesting that both are prison films, where the action is necessarily confined to a tightened set of spaces, maybe that means the dialogue and character development takes on characteristics of zippier dramas and comedies that are confined to a handful of sets as well, typically...
Gigi Okay, the film is more than a little gross, but I still like several parts and numbers somewhat in spite of its content, the film's coyness about Gigi's age leaves me somewhat confused, you have an actress in her mid twenties, but costumed and discussed as though she were thirteen or fourteen, but perhaps she's supposed to be sixteen? Nineteen? Twelve? hard to say, and I think deliberately so. Minelli's direction and production design of this film are incredibly, outlandishly dense and opulent. Not a favorite for me, but not the worst either, probably lands somewhere in the 60s.

hah!
well, how about this, I had Hollywood revue rated a 3 out of ten (roundabouts 535 overall out of all nominees in the list I made myself a few years ago), broadway melody was rated a 2 of ten (at 547 overall out of all nominees), but I have upped Broadway Melody to a 3 (still ranks as second worst winner!), so perhaps if I ever torture myself to rewatch Hollywood revue (ugh, I would have to suffer through that godawful romeo juliet scene), I would rate it lower than broadway melody?
I'm pretty sure screening the Romeo and Juliet skit for anyone unawares constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Convention

I liked the skit about Lon Chaney in Hollywood Revue... or at least I think I did. It's just about the only thing I remember about it now. I'm not a massive Broadway Melody booster either, but I did find it fun and somewhat memorable; the performances do creak a bit, but only in that distinct early-talkie way that I find oddly fascinating (I think because in an era of American cinema that broadly seems so distant and dreamlike, the awkwardness of acting in those very early sound films seems like a rude and frayed invasion of "real life"). I've only seen two of the three other surviving nominees that year but I wouldn't really advocate for either of them as a stronger choice, despite my soft spot for In Old Arizona.

The plot and premise to this film is so incredibly absurd that the fact it does not die under its own weight is miracle enough. That somehow it manages to skim greatness cements it as a pleasant shocker. I honestly don't know how the film convinced me in its first act which is something so bizarre it might be best to go into it blind. If I had to gander a guess I'd say it rests on the two lead who somehow manage to make the absurd mundane and the mundane extraordinary. I've dunked on Colman a lot over the years, but his tendency towards enigma works well here as a man who is never really sure of his own life. He feeds well to the shadows of the film making this seem like a noir variation of the typical soap opera romance.
Garson gives a great performance as well, but she's barely in the film much to my surprise so there's not much to say beyond it's up there with her best.
The various pieces that make this work aren't terrible unique for the period. It's the doomed romance of the industrial age that would be worked and reworked up through Penny Serenade. What makes this unusually successful though is a real dedication to simplicity. There's no big act of melodrama popping up. The crying Cary Grant is no centerpiece nor is there a terrified Janet Gaynor. Instead we have ordinary problems played with an open psychology. In a way this is the movie that the few Griffith sound films were aiming.
Kings Row
This is a confusing film. It's obviously a necessary step toward Peyton Place, but its defining struggle in content also keeps it from quite working. Everyone admirably tries to make this work and in a decade they would have probably succeeded, but instead the film stops short of success and is content to be very interesting.

I grew up watching Rocky IV extremely often and occasionally Rocky V and Rocky II . Rocky III I didn't like as a child since Rocky loses, and Rocky I have no childhood memory of, probably because I found it so boring I wandered away from the TV if my dad was watching it.
But in any event, kids are stupid (though I stand by the childish opinion that Rocky IV is glorious, dumb fun and the training sequence is absolutely amazing), and I've long thought (since high school at least, that the first film was definitely the finest. This first revisit since Rocky Balboa came out was a tremendous pleasure, it's amazing how embedded in poverty Rocky and his friends and family are, how dead end all their lives are, how much they hate it. And how they can do nothing about it. I love that the film's final fight is a metaphor for how they deal with poverty and life. Rocky doesn't want to win, he simply wants to take every ounce of punishment and last to the end of the fight. It's how his entire life has always been for him and everyone he knows, metaphorically being brutally beaten to a pulp by people stronger and better than you, but insisting on the shred of humanity of not being broken by the brutal reality of life. That's the core inspirational element--and of course is the core lie of the dream--taking everything life can dish out and not breaking. Never winning (something that implausible can never happen), but simply having the dignity of taking the punishment and being proud of how you took the punishment. Sad, amazing, and troubling on a thematic level, the whole film is quite stunning. It's easy to forget given the 1980s capture and commodification of Rocky and Rambo how both films are quite radical in their critique of society and class.
Annie HallI always oscillate so much with Annie Hall, every time I watch it. This, my fourth or fifth time, I think I liked it more than I have in the past, because you know, I need the eggs, but I felt like I keyed in on what my problem has always been: I identify with Annie so much more than Alvie and that makes it hard to like the film, because I always wind up in the same place as Annie at the end of the film, rejecting Alvie, which always causes me to think back on the film I just watched and dislike it a little more than I did when I just watching it. And that's kind of brilliant if that's the intent. But regardless of how I never quite adore this film, it is quite amazing and enjoyable, frequently wonderful in its visual and playful inventiveness, there's an undeniable charm to the whole thing.
Patton Oh this is so interesting and muddled and a weird movie. George C Scott is phenomenal in the role, but it's also glorifying the military but criticizing Patton's character while being unable to resist celebrating it. The film seems to have all the bones of a really incisive critique, but it holds back just enough that you can watch it oblivious to any critique, and could easily take Patton's side instead of the soldier's. All that embedded potential critique of military leadership enabling an insane man is fairly undercut by the post-intermission section of the film, which ultimately descends into an event checking series of triumphal conquests. Tacking on that celebration exculpates the entirety of what came before and when it suddenly rears its head again in the ominous Anti-russian sequence (and the wacky horseback press conference), it doesn't seem to fit with what the film chose to become in the second half. Kind of a mess, kind of amazing, I had to rewatch the opening speech after the film ended (since the speech takes place after he's a four star general), and it complicates everything further, the more you keep that insanity in context of the rest of the film, in all it's very good, but lacks conviction.
All Quiet on the Western Front What the fuck. This is incredible. Stunning such a screed of an anti-war film was made, much less was an international smash hit, particularly one whose existence demands you also acknowledge the humanity of the enemy (by being from the point of view of the Germans). Other than the occasional mediocre line reading, this film is pretty flawless. First film I've revisited that will make the final list that I didn't have on my preliminary list.
How Green was my Valley Yup. Still the best, best picture winner.
put in my lists, the nominees for 69-2018 could have used twenty-thirty revisits by itself, so very many canonical films I've only watched once (mostly fifteen years ago) that may well have wormed their way onto the list if I revisted. I wound up swapping out the Godfather sequel for Sunrise to make room for the Unique and Artistic production in the BP winners only list, I nearly submitted while forgetting all about Sunrise. Not sure how I'll feel about that omission over the next few days, a revision may be in order.
When I watched it ages ago, I was struck by More's nobility, now much older, I'm struck by More's selfishness, and I love the complexity of the dialogue and plot that allows all these critiques of More to coexist within the film. More rebuts some of what I now dislike about him in the phenomenal final scene with his family, and I'm amazed I never realized how complex the film is regarding the finer points of his self-inflicted tragedy.
It's interesting how that one clip of "yes I give the devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake" has become so frequently linked in the last few years, when the rest of the film shows the weak limitations of this now popular democrat laissez faire philosophy, as capture of the law by bad faith actors makes it into an easy weapon to wield against those like More who failed to protect or immunize the law from capture in the first place.

9 Key Principles Women Can Learn From The Story of Boaz & Ruth
In most of the books that I have read regarding the Ruth and Boaz' story, great emphasis is placed on the characteristics of Boaz. Let us not forget that Ruth was also a woman of great qualities.

Jean Carl Pierre Marie d'Orléans (born 19 May 1965) is the current head of the House of Orléans. Jean is the senior male descendant by primogeniture in the male-line of Louis-Philippe I, King of the French, and thus, according to the Orléanists, the legitimate claimant to the throne of France as Jean IV. Of France's three monarchist movements, Orléanism, Legitimism and Bonapartism, most royalists are Orléanists. Jean is the second son of the late Henri, Count of Paris (1933–2019) and his former wife Duchess Marie-Thérèse of Württemberg (b. 1934). With the death of his father, he has been using the style of Count of Paris since 2019.

Biography

Early life and education
Jean d'Orléans was born on 19 May 1965 in Boulogne-Billancourt, the son of Henri of Orleans and Maria Theresa of Württemberg. He was baptized in the Catholic Church on 14 June 1965 in the Royal Chapel of Dreux. He received as godfather, his maternal uncle, Carl of Württemberg, and as godmother, his paternal aunt, Princess Chantal of Orleans.

After attending the Passy-Saint-Nicolas-Buzenval, a private Catholic secondary school, he attended the Sorbonne, where he obtained a master's degree in philosophy in 1989. In 1992, he earned a master's degree in law from the Free Faculty of Law, Economics and Management of Paris. In 1994, he earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, California.

Jean completed his national service as an officer, first taking four months of classes at the École de cavalerie in Saumur. He was assigned as an officer aspirant, and then as a second lieutenant, and has been a reserve colonel of the French Army since January 2015.

After finishing his military duties, he began to work as a consultant at Lazard, then as a financial consultant at Deloitte, followed by working as a project manager at the Groupe Banque Populaire.

Jean is multilingual, speaking French, English, and German.

First engagement
Prince Jean was due to marry Duchess Tatjana of Oldenburg (b. 1974) in 2001. Duchess Tatjana is the youngest daughter of Duke Johann of Oldenburg (b. 1940) and his wife, Countess Ilka of Ortenburg (b. 1942). Her elder sister Eilika married Archduke Georg of Austria in 1997. However, the wedding was cancelled at the last moment because of a dispute over religious denomination: Jean's father, Henri, feared the Orléans claim to the throne would be compromised if there were to be a Protestant heir.

Second engagement and marriage
On 29 November 2008, Henri,then Count of Paris, announced the engagement of Jean, the then Duke of Vendôme, to Maria Magdalena Philomena Juliana Johanna de Tornos y Steinhart, born in Vienna on 19 June 1977. The pair are distantly related, as both are descendants of Count Jaroslav Bořita of Martinice and his first wife, Eusebia von Sternberg (1584–1634). The civil wedding, conducted by Mayor Rachida Dati, took place on 19 March 2009 in Paris. The religious wedding was held on 2 May 2009 at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame at Senlis, with a reception at the Château de Chantilly. The bride wore a gown by Christian Lacroix and a jacket embroidered by Maison Lesage.

Lawsuit
In 2021, Jean filed a lawsuit against the Saint-Louis foundation, demanding €1 million in damages and the return of five properties, including the Château d'Amboise. In 1886, the château was bequeathed to the Institute of France by Jean's ancestor Henri d'Orléans, with the caveat that the property would never be altered by the institute. The Saint-Louis foundation was later founded by Jean's grandfather, Henri VI, Count of Paris, in 1974. Jean's lawsuit alleges that the Institute violated their contract to never alter the property, after they announced plans to transform the Pavillon d'Enghien into a €760-a-night luxury hotel, containing a spa and gastronomic restaurant. Jean had previously lived in the château from 2001 to September 2021 rent-free, but was forcefully evicted by the institute after they began to demand he pay rent, which Jean viewed as a violation of their contract.

Family
Jean and his wife Philomena have five children:
 Prince Gaston Louis Antoine Marie d'Orléans (born 19 November 2009 in Paris).
 Princess Antoinette Léopoldine Jeanne Marie d'Orléans (born 28 January 2012 in Vienna).
 Princess Louise-Marguerite Eléonore Marie d'Orléans (born 30 July 2014 in Poissy).
 Prince Joseph Gabriel David Marie d'Orléans (born 2 June 2016).
 Princess Jacinthe Élisabeth-Charlotte Marie d'Orléans (born 9 October 2018 in Dreux).

Politics
Jean believes that the people of France are "monarchist at heart" and argues that they long for a non-partisan figurehead. He has spoken in support of the Yellow vests protests in France. Jean has also expressed his opposition to same-sex marriage, having participated in the  protests, as well as abortion.

In May 2019, Jean met with French President Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte Macron, and Italian President Sergio Mattarella in his then-home in the Château d'Amboise.

The series launches with renowned professionals in both entertainment and art
Irvine, Calif., Sept. 29, 2021 – UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts (CTSA), a national arts research and education leader, will launch an inaugural Distinguished Artist Speaker Series in October 2021 as part of the UCI Brilliant Future Campaign. The series brings cutting-edge artists and arts professionals in art, dance, drama, and music to campus to engage with students, faculty, and the community and encourages thought-provoking and culturally diverse artistic ideas.
"Adding to CTSA's productions, exhibitions, and scholarly and creative research, our Distinguished Artist Speaker Series brings fascinating practicing artists and thinkers to the campus community," said Stephen Barker, dean of the Claire Trevor School of the Arts. "The Series is an exciting new way to spotlight individuals at the heart of the creative research enterprise. We hope the public will join us for this great opportunity to meet and hear pivotal members of the arts community."
The series will launch on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, at 7 p.m. in Winifred Smith Hall with the Department of Drama's guest Janet Graham Borba, the Executive Vice President of Production for HBO Films. Over the last two decades, Graham Borba has overseen numerous award-winning series such as Angels in America, John Adams, The Pacific and Game of Thrones. She currently supervises production on all of HBO's original series.
The series continues on November 18 at 7 p.m. with the Department of Art's guest, Charles Gaines, the renowned contemporary visual artist. Gaines is a pivotal figure in the field of conceptual art and an influential educator in Southern California. Gaines' body of work engages formulas and systems that interrogate relationships between the objective and the subjective realms. Using a generative approach to create series of works in a variety of mediums, he has built a bridge between the early conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s and subsequent generations of artists pushing the limits of conceptualism today.
Guests for the Departments of Dance and Music will be hosted in the winter and spring academic quarters and announced at a later date. Admission is free and open to the public with a reservation. To learn more about the guest speakers and reserve your space, please visit the CTSA website at www.arts.uci.edu/events, or use our direct links to the events for Janet Graham Borba and Charles Gaines.

Q: Excel Conditional Formatting Offset Greater than I need to create a conditional formatting rule that will apply some color if the cell to the left has a value greater than 500, however it is not accepting my formula:
=OFFSET(0,-1) > 500

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

A: Edit:
I think you would not be able to use conditional formatting this way with icon sets. I got the following error when I tried:

You cannot use relative references in
  conditional formatting criteria for
  color scales, data bars, and icon
  sets.

I was, however, able to achieve the same by applying this formula to right column and then applying conditional formatting rule on this column as show in the screen shot.
=IF(OFFSET(E10,0,-1)>500,1,IF(OFFSET(E10,0,-1)=500,0,-1))

The formula should be:
=OFFSET(E10,0,-1)>500

In Excel, the Offset function returns a reference to a range that is offset a number of rows and columns from another range or cell.
The syntax for the Offset function is:
Offset( range, rows, columns, height, width )

*

*range is the starting range from
which the offset will be applied.

*rows is the number of rows to apply
as the offset to the range. This can
be a positive or negative number.

*columns is the number of columns to
apply as the offset to the range.
This can be a positive or negative
number.

*height is the number of rows
that you want the returned range to
be.

*width is the number of columns
that you want the returned range to
be.

A: There is a way of achieving the equivalent of Offset in Conditional formatting with relative references.
In the cell you want conditionally coloured, select the conditional formatting option Use a formula to determine which cells to format. In the formula bar use the following syntax:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()+X,COLUMN()-Y))>Z

Here, X is the vertical offset, Y is the horizontal offset and Z is the value against which you are testing.
In the OP's example, it would be:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()-1))>500

You then just need to define the formatting; you can't have the traffic light symbol but you can set the cell's background or font to be a specific colour.

A: In your case (fixed offset), there is a much simpler way to achieve your goal:
when moving/extending conditional formatting, absolute/relative reference are handled sensibly (even if this is undocumented afaik).
For example edit conditional formatting on cell B2, and write in the condition
"=A2>500". Then copy format (or extend) on the others cells you want formatted that way.
That's it.
If you need something more flexible, e.g. getting the actual offset from a second cell, you have to revert to the INDIRECT() solution.

Time and again, studies show that one of the weakest parts of the sales process is prospecting. Not only do sales professionals hate to do it; but it also yields low success rates. So finding and using a process to increase success rates is important – because most companies can't succeed if they can't prospect.
Once mapped against the concept of using consistent processes, prospecting not only becomes easier, it also yields higher results. We have developed a process that increases acceptance rates for those important first conversations by 14% to 25% - and it uses concepts you already know work. We just use them consistently – and better.


Cambridge, Mass., April 27, 2016 and Osaka, Japan, April 28, 2016 – Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE: 4502) today announced that results from the international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled TOURMALINE-MM1 Phase 3 clinical study, evaluating once-weekly oral NINLARO® (ixazomib) capsules plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone versus placebo plus lenalidomide-dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma, have been published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). NINLAROwas recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), based on the pivotal TOURMALINE-MM1 data, in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy.
TOURMALINE-MM1, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial including 722 patients, is the first Phase 3 study with an oral proteasome inhibitor. As reported in NEJM, the trial results demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful (35%) extension of PFS (HR 0.74; p = 0.01; median PFS: 20.6 months vs. 14.7 months in control group; median follow-up 14.7 months). A benefit in PFS was observed with the ixazomib regimen across pre-specified patient subgroups, including patients with poor prognosis, such as elderly patients, those who have received two or three prior therapies, those with advanced stage disease, and those with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities. Overall response rates were 78% in the ixazomib arm versus 72% in the placebo group and at least very good partial response rates were 48% versus 39%. The median time to response was 1.1 months in the ixazomib arm versus 1.9 months in the placebo group, and median duration of response was 20.5 versus 15.0 months, respectively. In the ixazomib and placebo groups, frequencies of serious adverse events (47% vs. 49%) and on-study deaths (4% vs. 6%) were similar; 74% and 69% of patients experienced grade ≥3 adverse events. Grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia was more frequent in the ixazomib (12 and 7%) vs. placebo group (5 and 4%). Rash occurred more frequently in the ixazomib group than in the placebo group (36% vs. 23% of the patients), as did gastrointestinal adverse events, which were predominantly low grade. The incidence of peripheral neuropathy was 27% in the ixazomib group and 22% in the placebo group (grade 3 events occurred in 2% of the patients in each study group, and no grade 4 events were reported). Please see below for the full U.S. prescribing information of NINLARO (ixazomib) capsules.
Data from TOURMALINE-MM1 were previously presented at the 57th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in Orlando, Florida.
NINLARO is currently under review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Takeda has also submitted applications for approval of ixazomib to additional health authorities around the world.
NINLARO (ixazomib) is the first and only oral proteasome inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. NINLARO is administered orally, once-weekly 4 mg fixed dose on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle. NINLARO also received Breakthrough Therapy status by the U.S. FDA for relapsed or refractory systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, a related ultra orphan disease, in 2014.
TOURMALINE-MM1, investigating ixazomib vs. placebo, in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. This trial is currently ongoing, and patients continue to be treated to progression and will be evaluated for long-term outcomes.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are found in the bone marrow. In multiple myeloma, a group of monoclonal plasma cells, or myeloma cells, becomes cancerous and multiplies. These malignant plasma cells have the potential to affect many bones in the body, possibly resulting in compression fractures, lytic bone lesions and related pain. Multiple myeloma can cause a number of serious health problems affecting the bones, immune system, kidneys and red blood cell count, with some of the more common symptoms including bone pain and fatigue, a symptom of anemia. Multiple myeloma is a rare form of cancer, with more than 26,000 new cases in the U.S. and 114,000 new cases globally per year.

What to visit / Interesting districts / Nou Barris / Parc del Turó de la Peira
Parc del Turó de la Peira
There are parks that are almost forest-like. High up in Nou Barris, the leafy pine grove in the Turó de la Peira is filled with the scent of Mediterranean plants, and it is easy to forget, for a few minutes, that you are in Barcelona.
The Turó de la Peira neighbourhood was first established in the early 1960s in Barcelona, and encroached on part of a large area of parkland, which now occupies an area of some 8 hectares. The first park in the Nou Barris district opened in 1936 and was remodelled in 1977, using land that once belonged to the old farmhouse of Can Peguera. It slopes up the hill from which it takes its name in a spiral of circular paths that take us to the top which is crowned by a cross. The top of the hill can also be reached by a series of stone steps. On the way up there are landscaped grass areas and, near the top, the leafy pine grove. There are areas for relaxation, with benches, viewing platforms and children's play areas, and the top of the hill boasts breathtaking 360º views of Barcelona.

Clippers vs. Jazz Game 1 preview and game thread: Let's do this again
Game 1 kicks off tonight!
Share All sharing options for: Clippers vs. Jazz Game 1 preview and game thread: Let's do this again

I still haven't had a full chance to recover from the previous series. I don't think I've been able to fully enjoy that Clippers comeback. Well, maybe because it was only a first round matchup.
Now we shift our focus to the second round and onto the Utah Jazz. This should be a fun one.
When: Tuesday, June 8 at 7:00 p.m. PT
Where: Vivint Smart Home Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah
How to watch/listen: TNT
Opposing perspective: SLC Dunk
Clippers: Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr., Ivica Zubac
Jazz: Jordan Clarkson, Royce O'Neale, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gobert
Jazz: Mike Conley Jr. (right hamstring strain) — OUT
The Clippers are coming off a thrilling seven-game series against the Mavericks, where the Jazz are coming off a fairly light five-game series with the Grizzlies. After dropping the first game of the series, Utah won four in a row to take the series.
Both these teams met three times during the regular season, with the Jazz taking two of the three. However, I'm going to throw all that out, because things are entirely different in the playoffs. These two teams haven't met since the middle of February, so it's been nearly four months.
Sabreena and myself went more in-depth on this series and what to expect on our latest podcast. If you'd like to hear our thoughts, check it out here.
Overall, I think this is going to be a very competitive series. As I said on the podcast, Utah has far better role players than Dallas did. With that being said, Utah certainly doesn't have a player quite like Luka Doncic, which could actually benefit the Clippers.
Although the previous series went seven games, the Clippers could have ended the series a lot sooner, they just couldn't close out some of their games. Plus, their three-point shooting eventually had to even out after struggling early on in the series. Oh, and if I were to guess, I doubt the Clippers lose three games at home again.
The Clippers can win this series, no doubt about it. We saw them play games against Dallas where they practically looked unstoppable. I'm optimistic this can be the Clippers team that gets over the hump and into the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.
Catch Sabreena previewing the game later this afternoon on LockerRoom! She'll be live at 6:00 p.m. PT. Follow her on Twitter for updates on the stream.

Geoff Twist, managing director of Roche Diagnostics (UK and Ireland) examines the findings of a report from think tank Demos, which looks at how technology can help address the annual winter crisis in the NHS.
The NHS is facing unprecedented challenges, with an ageing population creating growing demand on a system that is already struggling to deliver services and meet targets. This is particularly challenging during the winter months, when attendances in A&E are high and bed availability remains low, leading to patients having to wait longer. In the past, the NHS has dealt with this situation by cancelling planned procedures. But this is not a long-term solution.
The challenge of ending this annual winter crisis is the focus of a major new report by Demos, Winter is coming. HealthTech is here. The paper was launched after the cross-party think tank spoke to healthcare professionals and HealthTech innovators, including me, about the opportunities and barriers in using new technology, such as in-vitro diagnostics, to help ease the burden.
The report concluded that technologically-enabled developments, such as rapid diagnostics, AI-assisted analysis and new models of remote or self-administered care, have the potential help to alleviate pressure and provide a solution to the NHS during winter months.
Point-of-care diagnostics is one of the areas highlighted by Demos as being able to significantly help the NHS better triage and manage patient demand. The report uses the example of the cobas Liat test, which can determine if a patient has flu within 20 minutes. An initial roll out of the test to two hospital trusts found that it can significantly reduce bed blocking and bay closures, saving money and leading to more effective treatment for patients. In one Trust, they found that out of 277 tests carried out, less than half came back positive, leading to more efficient use of side rooms and a much quicker diagnosis.
Similarly, implementing diagnostic tools in primary care can help tackle serious issues, such as antimicrobial resistance. For instance, CRP (C-reactive protein) tests can help GPs determine if a patient needs antibiotics within four minutes, ensuring the best treatment decisions are made as quickly as possible, improving patient flow and providing greater reassurance. Such technological innovations have great potential to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare, but only if they are adopted by the system.
The health secretary, Matt Hancock, has already pledged his commitment to helping innovation flourish in the NHS. This, coupled with his renewed commitment to prevent rather than cure, puts medical technology in a stronger position than ever to play a key role in helping the NHS.
But while we are on the right track, there is work that needs to be done. Demos concluded that both technologists and healthcare professionals need to be more open to collaboration and listening to one another to build greater understanding. The think tank also made a number of recommendations including that medical technology and diagnostics, evaluated by NICE, shown to be cost effective and of clinical benefit, should be given equal status to pharmaceutical products in their evaluation, recommendation and funding mandate.
It is now more important than ever for Trusts to utilise the latest medical technology to help alleviate pressures on the NHS, make life easier for healthcare professionals, and ensure that patients receive the right treatment at the right time, as quickly as possible. I hope the publication of this important report will help kick-start this conversation.

This report summarizes analysis of data collected from the 2011 Systems Engineering (SE) Effectiveness Survey performed by the National Defense Industrial Association Systems Engineering Division, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, and the Software Engineering Institute. This analysis examined the differences in the deployment and impact of SE activities between defense-domain projects and non-defense projects. The analysis found significant differences in both the deployment of SE in the two domains and the effectiveness of the SE. The report identifies specific process areas where effectiveness in one domain is noticeably higher than in the other. Further research to understand these differences will benefit both domains by enabling them to share best practices.

PwC expanding Stamford location, promises 400 new jobs
Kevin Zimmerman
PwC's headquarters in Stamford.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is planning a $20 million expansion project that includes establishing Stamford as the headquarters for its Insourced Solutions for Tax (IST) division and creating up to 400 new jobs in the state over the next five years.
The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development will provide up to $9 million in grants for training, equipment, and leasehold improvements at PwC's 300 Atlantic St. location. The grants will be released in segments as certain job-creation milestones are met over a five-year period.
"This is one of the largest professional services firms in the world, and we are thrilled that they have decided to establish this new strategic headquarters in Connecticut," said Gov. Dannel Malloy. "We look forward to having them as part of our business community and seeing the company continue to grow its presence in our state."
"PwC's Insourced Solutions for Tax team is part of our journey towards developing a tax function that has an even greater ability to turn global uncertainty and regulatory change into new opportunities that deliver on a business's strategy," Rick D'Avino, chairman of IST for PwC, said.
In January 2017, PwC reached an agreement with General Electric to provide integrated, enterprise managed tax services, hire over 600 of GE's tax team members globally, and acquire GE's tax technologies. As a result, PwC created its IST team in Connecticut, which consists of 100 of GE's former tax team as well as hundreds of new employees.
All told, PwC's tax practice maintains a global network of 41,000 tax professionals operating in 157 countries.
In addition to Stamford, PwC US has offices in Hartford.

Recalling the Message: Melbourne Parliament of Religions, December 2009
In December of 2009, Rabbi David Saperstein – one of the keynote speakers at the Melbourne Parliament of Religions told – inter alia – "In a world in which you can do everything, what you should do – the moral question – is the fundamental challenge facing humanity. And on that question, the religious communities have urgent, profound, indispensable wisdom to offer.
The global interreligious movement has come of age.
From major metropolitan centres to rural villages, religious and spiritual communities are reflecting on their identities in light of diversity and shared responsibility. As globalisation sweeps across the planet and contact among disparate people grows, so too does the need for new approaches, resources and partnerships by these communities.
Twenty years ago, interreligious dialogue was a footnote on the agenda of the United Nations.
Today — in a post—9/11 world ~ it is a key instrument for exploring questions of conflict and peacemaking, poverty and development, climate change sustainability, diversity and social cohesion. This change has come in response to the recognition that religious and spiritual traditions ~ Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Jain, Jewish, Hindu, Indigenous, Muslim, New Religious Movements, Pagan, Secular Humanist, Sikh and Zoroastrian, among others — are influential and constructive forces in the grassroots realities they inhabit. They are directly engaged with pivotal issues at every level, from the personal to the global; the significance of the various ways that religion can be understood, and harnessed, is relevant to all. Policy makers worldwide understand that this pervasive and insightful engagement of religious communities is in the best strategic interests of the constituents they serve, and with that understanding has come a fundamental change of approach.
Integral to the global interreligious movement is the Parliament of the World's Religions, the World's largest interfaith event.
Hosted once every five years by a different city around the globe, the Parliament brings together thousands of attendees, from those serving small communities to distinguished religious, civic, academic, political and grassroots leaders. Through 20 years of convening, facilitating, networking and leveraging, the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions (CPWR) has built the capacity of the interreligious movement to thrive in a global context.
The challenges facing the nations of the world are increasingly viewed as broadly shared.
These nations are comprised of societies; those societies are networks of diverse communities; the communities are rooted in individuals ~ and among them, billions of people nurtured in the fertile ground of spiritual belief and religious practice. It is from there the interreligious movement has emerged, with growing scope and sophistication, and with it a unique and tremendous opportunity to address global concerns with global solutions.
The World is Listening.
And for the global interreligious movement and those with the wisdom to heed its significance, the time is now.

Q: WPF TextBox Command Binding I am using two TextBox and "Save" Button. Basically, the "Save" button will be enabled when TextBox has any Text changed. I created a CommandBinding in the Window.Resource and "Save" Button uses Command="Save" and Two TextBox use StaticResources for Command binding.
However, the Button is not enabled when I change the text. Use Debug, I can see that my flag for the TextBox text changed is True but it looks like TextBox didn't trigger the Save Command CanExecuted Event.
Below is my code.
xaml
<Window>
<Window.CommandBindings>
            <CommandBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.New" Executed="NewCommand_Executed" />
            <CommandBinding Command="{x:Static commands:DataCommands.Requery}" Executed="RequeryCommand_Executed"/>
            <CommandBinding Command="{x:Static commands:DataCommands.ApplicationUndo}"
                            Executed="ApplicationUndo_OnExecuted" CanExecute="ApplicationUndo_OnCanExecute"/>
    </Window.CommandBindings>

    <Window.Resources>
        <CommandBinding x:Key="Binding" Command="ApplicationCommands.Save"
                        Executed="SaveCommand_Executed" CanExecute="SaveCommand_CanExecute"/>
    </Window.Resources>

    <StackPanel>
        <Menu>
            <MenuItem Header="File">
                <MenuItem Command="New"/>
            </MenuItem>
        </Menu>

        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="5">
            <Button Name="New"  Command="New" Content="New" Margin="3" Padding="3"/>
            <Button Name="Save" Command="Save" Content="Save"  Margin="3" Padding="3"/>
            ...
        </StackPanel>

        <TextBox Name="TbInputText1" TextChanged="TbInputText_OnTextChanged" Margin="5">
            <TextBox.CommandBindings>
                <StaticResource ResourceKey="Binding"/>
            </TextBox.CommandBindings>
        </TextBox>

        <TextBox Name="TbInputText2" Margin="5" TextChanged="TbInputText_OnTextChanged">
            <TextBox.CommandBindings>
                <StaticResource ResourceKey="Binding"/>
            </TextBox.CommandBindings>
        </TextBox>

        <ListBox Name="LsbHistory" DisplayMemberPath="Name" Margin="3"></ListBox>

    </StackPanel>

behind-code
   public partial class UseCommand : Window
{
    private Dictionary<Object, bool> _isDirty = new Dictionary<Object, bool>();

    public UseCommand()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.AddHandler(CommandManager.PreviewExecutedEvent,
            new ExecutedRoutedEventHandler(CommandExecuted));
    }

    private void TbInputText_OnTextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        // _isDirty.Add(sender, true);
        _isDirty[sender] = true;
    }

    #region Save
    private void SaveCommand_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (_isDirty.ContainsKey(sender) && _isDirty[sender])
        {
            e.CanExecute = true;
        }
        else
        {
            // MessageBox.Show(sender.ToString());
            e.CanExecute = false;
        }
    }

    private void SaveCommand_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        string text = ((TextBox)sender).Text;
        MessageBox.Show("About this controller: " + sender.ToString() +
                        "Contents: " + text);
        _isDirty[sender] = false;
    }
    #endregion
}

Is there any step I missed? Why CanExecuted didn't be triggerd?

A: *

*You have to move your save CommandBinding to <Window.CommandBindings> collection from the <Window.Resource> collection

*remove the x:Key attribute

*Set the Command property of your button to ""ApplicationCommands.Save"

<Window.CommandBindings>
   <CommandBinding
       CanExecute="SaveCommand_CanExecute"
       Command="ApplicationCommands.Save"
       Executed="SaveCommand_Executed"/>
(...)
</Window.CommandBindings>
<StackPanel>
(...)

<Button
   Name="Save"
   Margin="3"
   Padding="3"
   Command="ApplicationCommands.Save"
   Content="Save"
/>

Q: Drawing Polylines with an incomplete list of LatLng's in Android (Google Maps) I have a requirement to draw out a route on a Android App using google maps.  I have a list of LatLngs that I must use from the customer unfortunately this is not a complete list of all lats and longs but a partial from a webservice so I am trying iterate through the list of all waypoints I get from the webservice and draw a correct route that uses these points.  Unfortunately this will just draw a straight line between waypoints or LatLng's.  Any suggestions on how I could iterate through this and draw this route?
My Code:
private void showEvacuationRoute(List<LatLng> latlngList){
    LatLng currentLoc = null;
    PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(5).color(Color.RED);
    for (LatLng latLng : latlngList){

        for (int i = 0; i < latlngList.size() - 1; i++) {
            if (i % 2 == 0){
                currentLoc = new LatLng(latLng.latitude, latLng.longitude);

            } else {
                LatLng toPostion = new LatLng(latLng.latitude, latLng.longitude);
                GMapV2Direction md = new GMapV2Direction();
                Document doc = md.getDocument(currentLoc, toPostion, GMapV2Direction.MODE_DRIVING);
                ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoint = md.getDirection(doc);

                for(int j = 0 ; j < directionPoint.size() ; j++) {
                    rectLine.add(directionPoint.get(j));
                }

            }
        }

    }
    if (!(rectLine == null)){
        map.addPolyline(rectLine);
    }

}


When someone is looking for a new physical activity in which to participate, jiu-jitsu is usually not their first thought. At this point, unless you want to be an MMA fighter, most people do not seek out jiu-jitsu first. Usually they need to be referred by a friend or they have had previous martial arts experience and developed a deeper interest. It's unfortunate but it's true – jiu-jitsu is not a sport that anyone can just see on television. MMA is the closest widely televised sport that you can find in relation to jiu-jitsu. Even then, people can't fully understand what BJJ truly is because what they see in MMA is not the pure form of the sport.
Think about how you started jiu-jitsu – it probably falls under the two scenarios previously mentioned. Since referral seems to be the most popular form of spreading BJJ, here are some powerful and practical reasons to sway the skeptics.
You can lose weight in a more exciting way than just running on a treadmill.
Usually, adults who are looking to get into a new sport or activity do it for health reasons and/or boredom. They finally looked in the mirror and realized that all those hours at work aren't really doing much for their body, or they are feeling the impact of being out of shape.
Naturally, their first thought will be to join a gym to run on a treadmill and lift some weights. But as jiu-jitsu folk, we all know that might not take them very far, especially if they have not really done vigorous exercise in the past. Jiu-Jitsu would be a far better alternative because they will get a full body workout and stave off boredom with the mental challenge. Those two reasons alone should peak a person's interest in our sport.
A lot of people who see jiu-jitsu for the first time are skeptical about its self-defense aspects. Doubts usually fill their minds: "if you can't punch or kick, how can you really defend yourself?" or "you don't wear kimonos on the street." Considering that they have little martial arts experience, these are valid initial concerns. But usually the best counter-argument you can give for this is to explain that jiu-jitsu really kicks-in when you are initially attacked, not when you are attacking someone. You shouldn't be attacking anyone anyway! And how do attacks usually start? They usually come as a surprise. If it is a surprise, it will usually come as either a hit or a tackle. If you are struck by a surprise attack then there isn't a martial art on earth that can really save you from that moment. But if you're tackled by surprise, you'll most likely end-up on the ground, or even still be standing.
Either way, as soon as contact is made, your jiu-jitsu will kick-in. Beginners will realize this after they do their first class. They will understand that jiu-jitsu will allow them to neutralize an attack and control their opponent. If you're in a fight and someone puts up their hands for a boxing match, even if you don't know boxing you are able to move around, back away, and avoid the situation a lot easier. When you're tackled to the ground, you can't run and you can't move much either. This is where your jiu-jitsu comes into play. This is jiu-jitsu at its most basic form – defending against an attacking opponent.


Many companies are outsourcing jobs in these trying economic times. While sometimes that can result in workforce reduction, it also provides opportunities.
It's a shame when difficult circumstances mean that you no longer have a job at the company where you thought you would stay for life. However, you can use the expertise you have gained in your years in the workforce to get a legitimate job working from home.
Many companies outsource jobs in order to save money. They don't want to pay the additional costs that come with having a fully employed workforce. Keeping buildings safe and clean and providing staff facilities can be costly. Companies may have to provide a range of services that they only use occasionally. Over time, this can be a big drain on resources, so outsourcing jobs can help to reduce these overheads.
An outsourced workforce is a flexible workforce. Unlike an employed workforce, people who are working from home can be available at different times of day as they may even be in different time zones.
This means that one of the major advantages of self-employment is also a major selling point when you present your services to potential clients. Clients will love the fact that you can work on their job while they are sleeping, presenting them with a finished product when they wake.
Most businesses experience fluctuations. There are times when business is booming, and other times when it's quiet. With an employed workforce, companies have to spend the same amount whether business is good or not.
That's another reason why job outsourcing is so popular. Companies can pay for the services they need only when they need them, instead of all year round.
To take advantage of the outsourcing trend, highlight your flexibility and your expertise when showcasing your work.
Another advantage for companies that outsource is the ready availability of on-call experts to cover almost any business situation.
As one of those experts, you can command a good rate for your services, while enjoying the flexibility of working from home. That's why the trend for outsourcing jobs is a positive opportunity for anyone starting a business from home.

Q: How to pass an object to a GET request? Hi I'm currently trying to pass an object to a GET request for search filter in nodejs using express but I get a return of 404 GET /route1/search/[object%20Object] 404 1.148 ms - 38
I already try to log the result in the terminal using console.log(req.params.dataObject); or console.log(req.params.dataObject.option); but get the result of [Object, Object] or Undefined
router.get('/search/:dataObject',
 async function (req, res) {
    try {
      console.log(req.params.dataObject);
      res.status(200).json(searchPhone);
    } catch (err) {
      return res.status(404).json({
        error: err.message
      });
    }
  });

I expect the result to be {option: 'some data', keyword: 'some data'}

A: You can't shove an object into a URL without encoding it somehow.  Whatever code is calling your server is attempting to do that, and JavaScript is converting the object to a string, which is where the [object Object] comes from.  This happens before your server ever gets to it.
What you should probably be doing instead is using the querystring.  This is a standard way for you pass in key/value parameters.  For example, your client would call:
GET /search?option=some%20data&keyword=some%20data

Then in your server, you could use:
req.query.option
req.query.keyword
