Q: "alone among the praise given to any writer..." Is this sentence praising Mark Twain grammatically correct?
The praise that Mark Twain received is alone among the praise given to any writer in the history of American literature.
  — On Mark Twain's Literary Genius, by Sandra.M.Lee

First of all, is this grammatically valid?
The reason I feel this is odd is that the superlative tone of this sentence is expressed with "alone" and "any writer," the import thereof being, "The praise that Mark Twain received is the most lavish that any writer has ever received."
Is this a variant of this version of mine?

A: It's grammatical,  but it is not exactly idiomatic. Sandra Lee would have done well to select a more suitable word — unique, unequalled, unparalleled or even singular would have been better than alone.
(In fact, that clumsily composed sentence of Lee's would benefit from being completely rewritten. For instance: "In the history of American literature, the amount of praise that was lavished on Mark Twain has not been equalled to this day".)

A: Perhaps the nature of the original sentence's badness would be clearer if we swapped out the praise of authors for the leaves of trees:

The leaves that the gingko has are alone among the leaves possessed by any tree in the whole of the forest.

As username901345 says, the problem areas here are "alone" (when expressed in the context of leaves among other leaves) and "any tree" (when intended to convey the idea of all other trees in the comparison). What you'd want to say is something like this:

The leaves that the gingko has are unique among the leaves possessed by the trees in the forest.

or, really,

The ginkgo's leaves are unlike any other leaves in the forest.

Similarly, in the discussion of the praise that Twain has received, we would do better to clear out the "alone" and the "any writer" in favor of something like this:

The praise that Mark Twain received differs from the praise given to other great American writers.

The awkwardness of the original wording proceeds from the infelicitous "praise alone among praise" and the unhelpful identification of a single "any writer" to serve for "all other writers."

A: Idiomatically, the author is the one who is alone among authors. As Sven Yargs says, "praise alone among praise" doesn't cut it.  The locution wants something countable.

Twain is alone among American authors in the amount of praise he has
  received.

With respect to the question of "lavishness". I would think the author has in mind that Twain was popular not only in his native land but around the world. "Universally" praised.
So the author's "amount" sounds like something we might write when we're in a hurry, or  tired.

AngularJS to Angular migration: Why businesses can't survive without it?
In the fall of 2010, Angular 1 became a sensation. Programmers and technically savvy people came to love this framework. With it, coders could do such magic with UI that was previously inaccessible. Besides, 2-way data binding allowed developers to reduce the written code's size significantly. At that time of front-end (FE) development, hardly anyone thought that the issue of AngularJS to Angular migration would ever arise.
Nothing lasts forever. After several years of AngularJS fireworks, the Google team started considering improving it. By the mid-2010s, it was clear that mobile technology was taking over the world. Web projects had to be adjusted for smartphones and tablets to be successful. At that point, Angular 2 was born, which worked in a different programming language and supported mobile browsers.
Actually, on September 16, 2016, Angular 1 died. The problem of migration AngularJS to Angular for a massive number of web projects has become a matter of time. If you ride a dead horse, you're not going to get very far. Eventually, those who wanted to stay relevant had to think about migrating to a new platform. Of course, business owners often choose the most straightforward option. It is the upgrade of Angular 1 to Angular 2+.
Grounds why AngularJS to Angular migration is essential
In the mid-2010s, Google's guess turned out to be accurate, as the number of smartphone users has grown by almost 2,4 billion over the past 5+ years, and the quantity of active mobile and desktop internet users has practically equalized. In many developed countries, mobile internet speed is paid increased attention. Especially if these countries have a high internet penetration rate in everyday life.
In 2015-2016, no one thought the migration would be a big deal in 2018-2021. Initially, the Google team only wanted to release a cooler Angular 1. They succeeded; the technology update got everything Angular.js didn't have. Except that, the new framework was created based on TypeScript, and it was utterly incompatible with the JavaScript-based tool.
What is the crux of the problem, and why do companies need to force AngularJS to Angular migration? After all, instead of one tool, Google provided two fantastic solutions. It's all about practicality. Angular 2 and its more recent versions have several advantages over the 2010 release technology. Therefore, there was no point wasting the Google team's energy on developing instruments in parallel. In the Angular.js vs. Angular battle, TypeScript-based technology won.
Grounds why staying on Angular 1 is no longer possible:
In December 2021, the long-term support (LTS) of technology will end: It means that Google will stop tooling support. So, over time, the performance of AngularJS-based projects will drop to zero. Web projects built with the JavaScript framework will not support many browsers, fall far behind current FE development trends, and are underperforming.
The first version does not support mobile browsers: Now, the number of mobile device users globally has reached 6,678 billion. It means that the business loses numerous opportunities and cuts off an impressive part of customers.
AngularJS had, and still has, problems with Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Although Google assures that content is king, this is not wholly true. Search results are generated by keyword queries, making it easier for customers to find your web resource online. Since AngularJS-based projects update information dynamically, it's hard for search engines to interact with them.
Angular.js is slower: The architecture specifics and lack of standard tool support led to the fact that the first version of the framework is much slower. We made a comparison of different Angular versions, demonstrating the difference.
2-way data binding: Often, this solution provides the web project with many advantages. However, 2-way data binding is responsible for the slow and delayed performance of the first version of this framework. At the moment, this is a serious disadvantage.
No Material Design: Coders can now use additional kits to design UI components after the update. With their help, coders can more easily develop adaptively and intended for different platforms of web applications.
It's the 2020s: That's the most compelling argument supporting AngularJS to Angular migration. The technology has come a long way in 10+ years, with better and clearer tools supporting many extra features. It's important. The better your product is adapted to devices with different screen diagonals and browsers, the more leads you can reach.
The Google team presented a set of special tools to ease migrating from the old to the platform's new version. Besides, the experts provided a short and simple guide as a quick reference. The only nuance is that your development team must figure out the process. But if you don't have one, you can extend your team with experienced devs.
What do you need to do before you start AngularJS to Angular migration
If you decide to migrate from AngularJS to Angular, you must consider the pros and cons. Besides, it is crucial to choose how to migrate to the platform beforehand.
How does this process go?
You can create a new web application or website from scratch;
You can upgrade an outdated framework (creating a hybrid web project).
You can find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of each way in one of our YouTube videos. Because each tool has its unique operating principles and code structure, it's essential to consider the best migration option.
We do not know which of the above options will work best for your project. However, we must say that the Google team recommends gradually making AngularJS to Angular migration. If you migrate from a JS-based framework to a TS-based one, starting with the second version is better.
According to the idea of the development team of both tools, the upgrade should go smoothly. No one will stop you from immediately improving your code from version 1 to version 5. Still, you should be prepared for hacks or additional problems.
Another critical issue is hiring specialists who have an excellent understanding of these frameworks. Such programmers can avoid crucial bugs during the project upgrade and can be equally well-versed in the architecture of the technologies. It is equally vital for both the first and the second ways of migration.
How to make AngularJS to Angular migration
Business owners and project managers always want to get the job done at the fastest speed. Well, that's a good point because, in the case of AngularJS to Angular migration, you can't delay changing the source code. With all that said, you should realize that you should not get started without preparation. Before you go migrating, you should do some minimal groundwork.
Important: There is no one-size-fits-all option for migrating a web product to new technology. Depending on the size and specifics of the product, the steps vary.
Ensure that the JS code is compatible with the TS code. To achieve this, you can use compile options or special packages with Angular.js type definitions.
Get your code structure cleaned up. At this stage, you can both use the Google recommendations we talked about earlier. Or you can contact developers who have previously done AngularJS to Angular migration and are up-to-date on all the latest JS changes.
It's time to abandon $scope. The new version of the framework lacks this concept, so it's critical to start changing the code's internal structure by abandoning the $scope concept.
Use the Component API to the benefit of rewriting less source code. Both technologies have similar component APIs, which you can use to your advantage.
Apply the libraries and tools offered by the AngularJS team to your work. They will help you combine parts of the code inside a hybrid web project as smoothly as possible in such a situation.
A brief description of the AngularJS to Angular migration process:
Building a web project using the Angular CLI or Webpack. Depending on the team's preferences and the specifics of the web product, you should choose one of these solutions. When you have a technical interview with an Angular company, make it clear which option is preferred and for what reason.
Setting up HTML templates for JavaScript frameworks. It helps to separate HTML file downloads.
Choosing a suitable source-to-source compiler (transcompiler). AVA.codes uses either TSC (TypeScript Compiler) or Babel in our practice. The last one provides more flexibility, ideal for more web projects.
Do take care of browser support. To complete this, all you need to do is customize the polyfills using the recommendations of the particular browser. Polyfills will help you implement functionality that is not supported by browsers. It will help enhance the project's UX component.
Bootstrapping a hybrid web project. The hybrid product can be launched if all the steps are correctly mapped out and performed. When a company chooses to build a project from scratch, this step involves disabling the old application or service.
Concern yourself about routing. Logically, the two technologies have alternative solutions for this process. You should necessarily select a routing method at the end of AngularJS to Angular migration. Fortunately, there are routing tools for hybrid web projects.
It is helpful for business owners to know how the process goes, especially if they are not technically savvy individuals. When you have at least a minimal understanding of the processes, it's easier to assess the team's real input and time frame for the task at hand.
The real AVA.code's story of AngularJS to Angular migration
We prefer not to say that this is always the case, but business owners often worry solely about their business tasks. It is valid for the general dev strategy of a web project and its revenue. However, in the chase to meet the job set, you can't forget about your clients and their needs.
Sometimes it seems to firm managers that AngularJS to Angular migration is unreasonable. After all, while the project works, the user and customer numbers don't decrease; everyone is happy with the results. Difficulties start later when loyal or big customers complain about poor service quality, slow project performance, and go to a competitor.
At the end of 2020, a company asked us to do the AngularJS to Angular migration. It was a firm in the e-learning industry. Its biggest client was unhappy with the web product and complained about numerous performance issues. In such a situation, it was necessary to implement the upgrade as soon as possible and not let customers' loyalty decrease.
The AVA.codes team did their best to fulfill the task quickly and efficiently. The result was excellent, and our client did not lose a big business.
As a final note to AngularJS to Angular migration
AngularJS to Angular migration is not just an opportunity for your business to keep the loyalty of partners or loyal customers. It's an issue that's about growing your business as a whole. If you have done everything right and timed it accurately, the technology upgrade will become a time-saving story and attract new users.
In addition, AngularJS to Angular migration will indirectly affect the budget savings and allow competing with other companies on the market successfully. As soon as some technology becomes obsolete, coders switch to the new tool. So, you'll have to look longer for qualified professionals to maintain your web project. If you're using a widespread framework, you need to waste less time sourcing candidates or finding a pro team.
What about the competition? Today's users are fastidious and value their time. For this reason, it makes no sense for anyone to use a slow, old web service when there are faster and equally valuable solutions. If you wait too long with AngularJS to Angular migration, you lose the competitive edge, and you'll miss out on your interests.
Why should I migrate from AngularJS to Angular? Is it possible that my company will not suffer?
You should do AngularJS to Angular migration at least because the JS version of Angular will soon stop existing. At the end of 2021, the LTS period will end, and there will be no more updates for this technology. In the short term, it is not horrible, but your web project will cease to receive browsers support over time, which will be slow and inefficient. Besides, AngularJS has no properly mobile support. In the era of smartphones, this is the death of your web business immediately. Due to Statista, mobile users will increase to over 7,5 billion in 4-5 years.
How can I contact the AVA.codes team?
You can contact our team in several convenient ways. You can book a call with our Managing Partner, Viktoria, from the blog page. Click on the «Book a call» button on the banner to the right. You can also find our contact information at the bottom of the AVA.codes website.
How long will it take for AngularJS to Angular migration?
It's hard to estimate the exact time for AngularJS to Angular migration. Certain rates depend on various factors: the app's size, industry, desired goal, and budget. In addition, the migration way is also essential to estimate the time to complete the tasks assigned. For small projects, a parallel upgrade will be faster. And for large and complex web products, a hybrid migration will be the better solution. Sometimes it lasts longer, but you don't have to stop the business and suffer other inconveniences.

Monsters. They're all a bit serious nowadays, and nowhere is that more glaringly obvious than in Legendary Pictures' Americanized monster cinematic universe (the other MCU). So far we've had Godzilla and King Kong show up, and the only vague bit of levity so far has been a mugging John C. Reilly and an apparent Oldboy homage involving the giant ape and a supposedly yummy octopus. And with further films on the way shortly that will pit the pair against various other monsters (including each other), you'd be forgiven for wondering how close Legendary are going to steer their ship to the craziness of the Toho films they're recreating.
In other words, are they going to let their monster mash films actually be silly? The answer, of course, should be yes, and in Mike Dougherty and Adam Wingard they have two fairly savvy directors, but what kind of mad ingredients should they add to this titanic soup? It's not as if Toho have a shortage, but just what could Legendary add? Let's find out.
We're constantly told we're not alone in the universe. You know it, I know it, and Toho knew it, bringing in various alien lifeforms from a number of worlds to try and take over Earth, including the Big G's number one antagonist, King Ghidorah himself. In his original Showa era guise Ghidorah was an extra-terrestrial menace who came to Earth from Venus after laying waste to that planet and its civilization, and to be honest there are few things cooler than a freaking Venusian three-headed dragon arriving here to teach us a lesson in intergalactic affairs.
Initially, Ghidorah arrived here in a meteorite (a later era had him sent back in time by terrans of the 23rd century), but according to videos that were posted on Twitter on behalf of Monarch (the fake company that's been showing up in the OMCU so far) they found him under the ice in Antarctica. Kind of boring, but there's plenty of opportunities to beef up his alien origins, maybe in a crazy flashback sequence. Or maybe they'll take an opportunity later on to remake Destroy All Monsters, where a bunch of aliens take control of all the kaiju and have them attack cities around the globe. How amazing would that be?
As all G-fans know, the main force responsible for the defense against kaiju is the JSDF (Japanese Self-Defense Force), so I guess in the OMCU it would be the United States military. Of course, we're used to seeing dozens of jet fighters and tanks and helicopters and such go up against Godzilla and get smashed to pieces, but the JDSF are also responsible for some pretty nifty hardware. The most recognizable of this is the Super-X series, first seen in 1984's The Return of Godzilla (variations appeared in Godzilla vs Biollante and Godzilla vs Destoroyah).
Remember how in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the USS Defiant was developed solely to fight the Borg? Same thing with the Super-X, which was equipped with all sorts of guns and missiles designed to take down the Big G. Now tell me, with the crack Hollywood designers and infinite budgets, that you wouldn't like to see a new Super-X in the OMCU? The only question is whether Legendary would use it to end Godzilla, or would it just end up being smashed up like everything else, emblematic of the hubris of man that is being put down by the Big G and his ilk.
A staple of Japanese entertainment since forever, robots and mecha are something we've already seen in Legendary's other giant monster franchise Pacific Rim (not to mention the 1990 Stuart Gordon classic Robot Jox), and while that was vaguely underwhelming, it gives us an idea of the potential in building a giant beast of a machine to defend against raiding monsters — and in true Godzilla fashion, at least a bit of the running time should be devoted to the economic realities of such a project.
Of course, where Godzilla is concerned you can't have the word "mecha" used without it being included in "Mechagodzilla", the other-other big antagonist of our favorite irradiated dinosaur. Mechagodzilla was another tool of invading aliens and originally looked just like Godzilla, dorsal plates and all. You wonder if this was where James Cameron got the idea for the Terminator, as the skin was eventually ripped away to reveal the shiny real form of Mechagodzilla. Like everything else Toho Mechagodzilla went through different forms throughout the eras, from the Heisei, where he was a sleeker and more powerful form, to the Millennium where he had huge rocket launchers on his shoulders like War Machine as well as a super laser weapon. This should be a foregone conclusion for Legendary — it'll make Pacific Rim look like Power Rangers vs Voltron.
Monsterland sounds like the greatest theme park ever, but alas is just the island where all the kaiju are kept. I say "just" like it's some normal thing that you can roll off while watching TV, but this is amazing, an entire island (or peninsula if you watch The Simpsons) full of monsters, like a Jurassic Park that actually works. It's just a crazy idea. "Hey Phil, what are we going to do with all these kaiju?" "Just stick 'em on an island. That'll show them." Thankfully, it has various devices to stop the monsters leaving, like, um, mist.
There's also Monster Island as well, which is apparently a different island with lots of monsters on it. Site B? In any case, just the idea of a special island home for kaiju is nutty, and deserves to find itself way into the OMCU. Assuming there is a focal point these movies are building up to, maybe we'll get an Avengers-style assembling of Godzilla and pals? Actually, I'll just have that one please.
In 1967, Toho shocked the world by introducing the charming Minilla to us all in the aptly named Son of Godzilla, where he was taught the ways of the kaiju by the Big G so they could team up at the end to defeat giant spider Kumonga. Who is different to the other baby, Godzilla Junior, who popped up in the Heisei era, and yes, is not anywhere close to Godzooky from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. The other thing that this can bring that people can freak out at is humor — the idea of Godzilla having a baby is pretty funny, but that's not a bad thing, and it can also be endearing, especially if it's used in a symbolic way like in the excellent Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
And then there's the Mothra twins, or Shobijin as they're better known, two fairies from Infant Island who sing the song of Mothra for her to rise up and save the Earth from whoever is threatening it. This is probably the craziest thing in the whole Godzilla franchise, but you know what? It's wonderful. Not only their interactions with actual humans (as they are literal fairy size) but just the concept, the kind of thing that made the Showa era films so fun.
And it's this kind of thing that would be so great in the Legendary films, that probably won't make it in. I mean culturally it's the kind of thing that would make many audiences uncomfortable, especially the males who are already overprotective of their masculinity, just seeing two fairies sing a beautiful song to call Mothra to arms. And that's maybe why we need these kind of things, and to be honest, just think of the musical possibilities! Get Lin-Manuel Miranda to come up with a new arrangement of the classic song or even a new one (heresy I know) and it could be a number one hit. A special Mothra-shaped vinyl record for Record Store Day — this is the kind of thing Hollywood loves, synergy.
Of course, the big questions is will any of this stuff make it into Legendary's OMCU? It's pretty likely some of it will; things like the Super-X would tie into the kind of fetishizing of military hardware that Michael Bay has made a career out of. Aliens may also be a safe bet, again it's not too far a stretch when it's been twenty or so years since Independence Day, but the twins? Baby Godzilla? All we can hope is that Dougherty, Wingard, and Legendary will have an open mind when it comes to this kind of thing, or at least that Toho have a Minilla appearance clause in their contract.
Or they could at least let me direct one of them.

Housing Affordability Holds Steady but Supply-Side Challenges Persist
Lansing-East Lansing, Mich., named most affordable major housing market; Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., named least affordable major housing market
Contacts: Elizabeth Thompson

Housing affordability held steady at its lowest level in nearly a decade, as higher home prices offset lower mortgage rates to keep the affordability rate flat in the third quarter of 2021. However, ongoing supply-chain disruptions and the prospect of higher interest rates in the future threaten to exacerbate affordability problems in the months ahead.
According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) released today, 56.6% of new and existing homes sold between the beginning of July and end of September were affordable to families earning the U.S. median income of $79,900. This is unchanged from the 56.6% of homes sold in the second quarter of 2021 and remains the lowest affordability level since the beginning of the revised series in the first quarter of 2012.
"Persistent building material supply chain bottlenecks and tariffs on Canadian lumber and Chinese steel and aluminum continue to place upward pressure on construction costs and home prices," said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke, a custom home builder from Tampa, Fla. "Policymakers must fix supply chain vulnerabilities that are disrupting and delaying construction projects and hurting housing affordability."
"Interest rates are anticipated to gradually rise in the coming months as the Fed begins to taper its monthly bond and mortgage-backed securities purchases," said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "To keep affordability problems from worsening in the future, policymakers need to tackle supply-chain challenges that are hindering new home production. Helping builders boost output will also slow the rapid rise in home prices that has occurred over the past year."
The HOI shows that the national median home price increased to a record $355,000 in the third quarter, up $5,000 from the second quarter and $35,000 from the first quarter. Meanwhile, average mortgage rates fell by 14 basis points in the third quarter to 2.95% from the rate of 3.09% in the second quarter. However, mortgage rates are currently running above 3.1%, and this higher trend could affect affordability later this year and into 2022.
The Most and Least Affordable Markets
Lansing-East Lansing, Mich., was the nation's most affordable major housing market, defined as a metro with a population of at least 500,000. There, 89.1% of all new and existing homes sold in the third quarter were affordable to families earning the area's median income of $79,100.
Top five affordable major housing markets:
Lansing-East Lansing, Mich.
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, Ind.
Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-Hazleton, Pa.
Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pa.
Meanwhile, Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., was rated the nation's most affordable small market, with 93.4% of homes sold in the third quarter being affordable to families earning the median income of $76,300.
Top five affordable small housing markets:
Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill.
Monroe, Mich.
Sierra Vista-Douglas, Ariz.
Wheeling, W.Va.-Ohio.
For the fourth straight quarter, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., remained the nation's least affordable major housing market. There, just 8.3% of the homes sold during the third quarter were affordable to families earning the area's median income of $80,000.
Top five least affordable major housing markets—all located in California:
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale
Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine moved up one spot to tie San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco in the second slot
San Diego-Carlsbad
Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura
Four of the five least affordable small housing markets were also in the Golden State. However, at the very bottom of the affordability chart was Corvallis, Ore., where 6% of all new and existing homes sold in the third quarter were affordable to families earning the area's median income of $93,000.
Top five least affordable small housing markets:
Corvallis, Ore.
Salinas, Calif.
Napa, Calif.
Santa Cruz-Watsonville, Calif.
San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles-Arroyo Grande, Calif.

State Department head of cloud programs Brian Merrick to leave post
The technology leader departs but will remain in federal government service.
(U.S. Department of State / Flickr)
Brian Merrick is set to leave his post as director of cloud programs at the State Department, FedScoop understands.
The IT leader steps down after three years in the role, but according to sources will remain in government service.
He has served at the State Department since 2008, when he joined the Bureau of Information Resource Management as deputy manager for the IT Cost Center Working Capital Fund.
Merrick's previous roles at State include a period as director of the office of digital in the Bureau of International Information Programs, and as director of the Office of Innovative Infrastructure.
Before working at State, Merrick for a period was a financial management consultant and IT project manager at PwC, and before that served for nearly a decade as a commissioned officer in the Army.
During his tenure at State, the IT leader helped to oversee the agency's transition to the cloud, including the initial implementation of a three-year data strategy launched in September last year.
Speaking at a FedScoop-hosted event earlier this year, Merrick said the speed of recent events has helped to make the case for wholesale organizational change and closer collaboration between sub-agencies at State.
"In today's day and age we are facing unprecedented expectations: speed of delivery, speed of information, the need for data analytics to drive decisions at very senior levels. The need to operationalize activities very quickly," he said.
No further details of Merrick's next destination were immediately available.
The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Based on true events, FOXCATCHER tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers.
When Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont (Steve Carell) to move on to the du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother, Dave (Mark Ruffalo). Driven by hidden needs, du Pont sees backing Schultz's bid for Gold and the chance to "coach" a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave).
Flattered by the attention and entranced by du Pont's majestic world, Mark comes to see his benefactor as a father figure and grows increasingly dependent on him for approval. Though initially supportive, du Pont's mercurial personality turns and he begins to lure Mark into an unhealthy lifestyle that threatens to undermine his training. Soon du Pont's erratic behavior and cruel psychological game-play begin to erode the athlete's already shaky self-esteem. Meanwhile du Pont becomes fixated on Dave, who exudes the confidence both he and Mark lack, knowing that these are things even his money cannot buy. Fueled by du Pont's increasing paranoia and alienation from the brothers, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen.
FOXCATCHER is a rich and moving story of brotherly love, misguided loyalty and the corruption and emotional bankruptcy that can accompany great power and wealth. As with Academy Award® nominee Bennett Miller's previous feature films, CAPOTE and MONEYBALL, he explores large themes in society through his complex character portraits of real people.

Dream Cruises Introduces 'Super Seacation' on World Dream
As the World Dream starts her Singapore program on Nov. 6, passengers will be able to enjoy a option that will take the regular "stay-cation" concept and turn it into a "Super Secation" experience, according to a press release from Dream Cruises.
Available on the World Dream's two and three-night high seas itineraries, the "Super Seacations" will combine various leisure and recreation facilities onboard the ship with engaging experiences that will keep guests of all ages entertained throughout their journey, the company said.
All activities onboard will be organized in accordance with permitted group sizes – specific to each activity – in line with the prevailing national policy, and measures will be in place to discourage close contact between group, Dream Cruises said in its press release.
Among the Examples:
Guests can dive into the Esc EXPERIENCE LAB on World Dream and experience VR that transports players into worlds and realities they never even knew existed.
Dream said it will have live production shows exclusively created for guests. The theater will feature reduced capacity and ample distancing between guests.
Thrill-seekers will also find adrenaline pumping fun on the outdoor Ropes Course featuring a pulse-racing zip-line suspended a full 18 decks above the ocean or climb to new heights, literally, by tackling the onboard Rock Climbing Wall.
Every 'Super Seacation' sailing of World Dream will end with Asia's one and only laser show at sea – a spectacular and perfectly synchronized performance featuring the strongest and most potent multi-coloured lasers to ever be installed on a cruise ship, with over 4 million shades to light up the most colourful voyage at sea.
With the increasing popularity of health and wellness options, Dream Cruises' Vitamin Sea & Dream is the perfect prescription for a relaxing, healthy and fun-filled vacation, featuring a combination of fitness, wellness, nutrition and fresh sea breezes.
With Christmas approaching, guests can enjoy some long-awaited and well-deserved bonding time with friends and family on World Dream with Magical Christmas celebrations, where Santa's Little Elves will be joined by the Dream mascots – the Astronaut and the Mermaid – to spread Christmas joy, happiness and love.

My friends and I traveled to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado and the contrast between the Rocky Mountains and the flattened plains were separated by these massive white sand dunes that have to place being there.

If having a beautiful, lush lawn in the spring is important to you, then chances are good that you take care of your lawn throughout the year. However, when wintertime sets in, you might think that your work is done and start packing it in until the weather starts to warm. The truth is that winter preparation is vital to having a gorgeous lawn once the snow and ice begins to melt. Quite a few things can be done to prepare your lawn for healthy growth in the spring.
While you might not think it, fertilizing your lawn in the early winter is an excellent way to help ensure that it has the best start in the new year. You should add fertilizer as late in the year as possible, but before the ground freezes. If you aren't sure about the right mixture of fertilizer, a soil test can help you out.
While chances are good that you took care of the bulk of those fallen leaves in early and mid-autumn, it's important to make sure you get all of them raked up and disposed of late in the year as well. Leaves can continue falling well into winter, and that build up on your grass can cause some serious problems. Additionally, never leave mounds of leaves in your yard, as they will kill the grass beneath them.
Your yard sees heavy traffic throughout the warm months of the year. Foot traffic and lawnmowers compact the soil, cutting off the flow of oxygen and water to the roots of your grass. The late autumn is an ideal time to aerate your lawn and help ensure that air and water are able to penetrate down to the roots of the grass. This will also help the fertilizer penetrate deeper into the soil.
If your lawn has developed bare patches and they have not filled in by late autumn, early to mid-winter is a good time to reseed. Make sure to put down any seed before the ground freezes, and consider opting for a type of grass that germinates rather quickly (bluegrass can take some time, so rye might be a better choice).
If you suffer from acidic winter rains, then it is time to put down some lime. An application of lime on your grass will help neutralize the acid in the rain and keep your lawn's pH balanced for healthier growth in the spring.
Grass will usually go dormant during the dead of winter, but you might just see some broadleaf weeds still growing during the cold. If you see weeds, it's important to take care of them now. If you leave them alone, you only give them more time to become established and spread through your yard.
Following these tips will help ensure that you have a vibrant, lush lawn when warmer weather comes back around.

At last week's Apple press conference regarding the iPhone 4 antenna issues, CEO Steve Jobs called out another of other competitors. Most of them have responded already, and now Samsung is joining the fray.
Samsung specifically points towards design comparisons of the iPhone 4 and the Omnia 2, both of which have out-of-the-ordinary antenna placements.
While there is a pointed difference in antenna placement, the statement isn't that loud or inflammatory. The Omnia 2 isn't exactly comparable to the iPhone 4 in terms of price, popularity or features...so maybe not comparable at all. Perhaps that's why Samsung doesn't have as much of a direct and firm response as RIM did. Or maybe Samsung would rather focus on something more important than smartphone drama.

The hyaluronic acid is a natural constituent which plays an important part in the hydration and the elasticity of the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid (ha) is an intercellular component particularly concentrated in the synovial liquid which lubricates the articulations, in the cartilage, the cardiac valves, the fluids of the inner ear, the skin and the vitreous area of the eyes. The majority of these tissues have as a function the cellular hydration and the separation of the mediums.
The HA constitutes an extracellular matrix which makes it possible to lubricate, to absorb , to transport the nutrients in the cells and to eliminate waste from them. It is the single structure and the big size of polymers of HA which make it ideal for these functions. In time, the organism makes less HA and the supplementation could have important benefits at the same time in terms of longevity and quality of life.
The HYALURONIC Acid is also used by doctors to carry out infiltrations in the articulations within the framework of acute articular pains.
This cream locally diffuses the hyaluronic acid without having to use injections which are often traumatizing.
Mechanic: by guaranteeing the synovial liquid elasticity and viscosity, it makes it possible for the articulations to resist the weight and to absorb.
Biological: Thanks to its great capacity of absorption of water, it plays an essential part in the exchanges and the transport of nutrients necessary to the cells.
Anti-inflammatory drug: On the level of articulations, it causes a drop in the rate of the prostaglandins which are at the origin of the redness; moreover, it stimulates the regulation between the destruction and the repair of cartilage fabric.
Anti-pain: By ensuring a better protection of the receivers located in the synovial membrane, it helps prevent pain.
Hydrating: it is essential in repair and the cellular renewal in particular with the level of the skin for which it improves softness, elasticity and firmness.
Prevent, relieve and repair the effects of osteoarthritis and the articular pains in general.
To improve the mobility of the articulations by restoring cartilage fabric and a better lubrication.
To fight against the effects of ageing of the cells and in particular on the level of the skin.
To improve hydration, softness and the firmness of the skin.

We're proud to present the EVVY's newest single, "Collide", a summer anthem for cool drinks and new lovers, this song is brimming with driving percussion and soaring synths. Collide was written and produced by Mickey Valen and The King, along with EVVY and singer-songwriter Lyon Hart known for his evocative lyrics and pop focused melodies. Written on two continents – from the sandy beaches of Long Island Sound and the candlelit lofts of Manhattan to the wine-soaked hotel rooms of Paris – this internationally crafted pop gem is truly poised to raise EVVY to the heights of the next great international pop sensation.
EVVY is perfect for POLYDOR, she's cute and young and beyond refreshing. She has that trendy beach chique French riviera look and she sounds like what a French Martini would sound like if it had the most adorable speakers somehow hooked into it! I love artists who have gone far in their branding without big agency work. It shows that they respect their image. A lot of musicians think they will redo their image when they get famous but they just don't realize how many great brands aka bands, a music reviewer receives in a day. At some point I will take a screenshot of my a.m inbox to show you the reality of a SMALL blog's submission pile – imagine what STEREOGUM or LARGEHEARTEDBOY receives daily!

Ween Man Becomes Freeman
By Jessica Willis 07/24/14
Aaron Freeman, half of Ween, sobers up, grows up, and strikes out on his own.
Franco Vogt
He was forced to make a choice. Either stay put as one half of a successful and beloved alternative rock duo and continue to blast himself with cocaine, benzos, and vodka just so he could be numb and function. Or he could sober the fuck up and leave Ween, a band he had been in since puberty. Years of active addiction and isolation had turned Aaron Freeman, aka Gene Ween, into another boy who would never grow old; he was going to die first.
Freeman chose to leave. "End it man...your money or your life," he sings on FREEMAN, his first solo album of all original material, released on Partisan Records this week.
The decision to leave Ween, as Freeman said in a recent interview, was spurred by a progression that mirrored "the typical rock thing." Meaning you start with the silly drugs, and then … well, you know. In the early days of the band "there was always drugs and alcohol but it graduated from my early 20s to a lot of weed and some psychedelics," he said. "I think all those were fine but then it really started into the alcohol. As Ween was getting bigger and bigger there were less responsibilities for anything and you're sort of a Peter Pan. You're not accountable for anything except getting on stage."
It fell apart in 2011 at a notorious show in Vancouver when a barely coherent Freeman was blacked out onstage in front of a huge crowd. At the end of the show his disgusted bandmates left him onstage alone.
"That was my career bottom," he said. "I had been on a really dark bender and Vancouver was a huge show. The last thing I remember was I was onstage and the band had walked off [during a version of "Reggaejunkiejew"] and I was on my back screaming 'Jew' or something like that."
The meltdown was part of a sad end of a creative, prolific, and wickedly irreverent band that had captivated everyone from Beavis & Butthead to, more recently, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon's house band. Music fans who appreciate silliness and prodigious chops flock to Ween's albums and shows like ants on a caramel.
Despite the love, by 2011 Ween hadn't written any new material in years and the shows had become stale for Freeman. "We did 11 records that were amazing," Freeman said. "But the only part of Ween that was left was these touring shows. We were playing the same songs night after night. It had turned into a showcase thing. For me, Ween had been over since the last record we did [La Cucaracha, in 2007]. It wasn't okay for me. I started having a real crisis. Like, I know Ween is over, and all I'm doing now are these shows so I can make money … it was spiraling and spiraling and I was fucked up all the time."
Dropping the Gene Ween moniker, Freeman recorded an album of Rod McKuen covers under his own name. He was doing whatever he could to escape the "Ween fold" and the music was good, but he was wrecked.
"It was really mellow music, it was sweet and pretty, but it's the most drugged out record I've ever put out. That was a benzo record," he laughed. "I love benzos. All benzos. I was in this beautiful studio recording in front of a five thousand dollar mic doing all this music and then I'd go back to my hotel room and eat jerk chicken and drink a bottle of vodka and throw up all over myself."
He likens it to Martin Sheen's warrior overdoing it at the beginning of Apocalypse Now. "That's a heavy scene." Freeman was out of control and he knew it. Sort of. Was he Aaron or was he Gene, the stoner rock icon? "I was having an identity crisis and I didn't know who I was," he said. "Everybody called me 'Gene Ween' and 'dude' and I was this Ween guy and I was always fucked up, and I could always find whatever I wanted."
After a few more West Coast shows and a continued rampage back home he went into rehab for the third time - but not before playing two more high-paying Ween shows in Denver. "Every cent I made went into the rehab I was going to," he said. "Insurance didn't cover my third rehab."
Freeman got on a plane and headed straight to Cottonwood in Arizona, where the withdrawal process began.
"I felt like Gollum for a while," he said. "I couldn't even look into the light. I was on a lot of benzos, which was really difficult to come off of."
He surrendered to the disease at Cottonwood. "There was a pinnacle moment there," he said. "When you get there they give you a three page booklet and it just wants you to describe what the fuck happened. What are you here for? What do you want? I remember for the first time in my life I was so desperate I just answered every question as honestly as I could. For someone like me that was a tough thing. I was like, 'I'll give you everything, I don't care anymore, I'm not gonna try to hide anything.'"
From Cottonwood, Freeman went to Clean Adventures, a men's halfway house that combined outdoor activities with counseling and work therapy.
"You stay in these houses with a bunch of other guys and you're expected to go find a job during the day and be back at a certain time," said the singer. "If you didn't obey every single rule you got thrown out."
He officially left Ween in May 2012. "There was no way I was going back into that world," he said. In another major change, he moved away from his hometown of New Hope, Pennsylvania. "[New Hope] was one of those persons, places, and things," he said. "I had to get out of there. No matter how many times I would get sober or recover I had too much history there. Everybody in that town had seen me at one point or another just blasted."
Freeman moved to Woodstock, New York, where he lives with his wife Leah, their son, and his daughter from a previous marriage. For Freeman, Woodstock is a peaceful place to raise a family and stay out of trouble. "It's not really a party town, which is important," he said.
Great, but what was he going to do with himself? Was he going to wear a blue smock and punch a time clock? "After I left Ween I was a fucking mess," he said. "I didn't know what I was going to do. I was resigned to the fact that I could work at Wal-Mart if I had to in order to stay sober. But [Freeman's manager and collaborator Dave Godowsky] said from the beginning, 'you're gonna make a record.'"
Freeman said he couldn't. Or wouldn't, and he was petulant about it. But songs started to come together. "FREEMAN is where I was at last July, which was on my back porch, sober for a year and a half, sitting there with my acoustic guitar and suddenly writing songs again while I looked at chipmunks." He maintains that he was unable to write as his disease progressed and the block remained through his earliest recovery.
The first few months were a nightmare and Freeman came face to face with one of the reasons why he used: a profound depression. "I was literally seeing black sludge coming off of things," he recalled. "I wasn't hallucinating but my brain was so fucked I would just go in my room and sit there and suffer and feel the dark knot in my stomach. That was always the point where I would go out and get completely trashed to alleviate it." Eventually, Freeman learned to sit with the misery and let it pass, noting that the teachings of the Tibetan Bhuddist nun Pema Chodron helped him. He had to reach in, not out. "[Chodron's] whole thing is to experience it, feel it, let it make you go insane, and then let it go."
As for the 12 step school of recovery, Freeman says he believes in the power of group conscience, one of the program's traditions, and always feels better after a meeting. However, he also "believes in the school of treating addiction with medication, absolutely. If abstaining means that you don't sleep for a year what kind of chance will you have to keep going?"
Sleep or no sleep, joy or misery, eventually the creativity came back, and he attributes it more to biology than to spirituality. "I really believe my synapses got fried," he said. "My pathways got fried. But I could tell in a year and a half something grew back. Some sort of stem connected to itself again. Boom, I was there." The result was a new collection of tuneful, twisted pop songs that describe Freeman's liberation. It could've stayed on the porch but Godowsky took a trip to North Carolina and brought recordings of the songs with him. "I trusted him to get musicians for the record," Freeman said.
Godowsky returned with a drummer, bassist, and a second guitar player, and they recorded the album in nine days.
"They nailed it in a ridiculously short amount of time," Freeman said, adding that the album had to be banged out quickly because money was tight.
"When I left Ween my income went down to like five percent of what I was making before," he said. "We scrimped and scraped. We didn't have any time to add any overdubs, that's why the album sounds very bare bones, which I love."
Songs like the celebratory "El Shaddai" narrate Freeman's interest in Kabbalah, and although he says he's not a Kabbalist, he read the Old Testament and the Torah when he was in rehab.The song was based on James A. Michener's The Source, he said. "Covert Discretion," which leads off the album, starts as a sweetly chilling acoustic ballad about the disease; at one point in the narrative he's gratefully sharing drugs with fans in a bathroom when things suddenly turn ugly. "Get the fuck out my face," he croons.
"Black Bush," meanwhile, is a pastoral tune in the spirit of Donovan. That is, if Donovan inhaled Scotchgard. Very Ween-like.
Freeman said he will perform Ween songs on the upcoming tour, both the ones he's always had the most fun doing live as well as songs that have never been performed live before.
With ex-bandmate Mickey Melchiondo, aka Dean Ween, he says he currently has "no relationship, outside mutual business approvals." This seems bittersweet, considering the duo had been working together since 8th grade.
Freeman, who will have three years clean in December, chooses to focus on what he gets in return for his departure. "One of the benefits of recovery is you get your kids back," he said. "The best part of the last couple of years is every night we give each other a hug and a kiss and say goodnight. When I was at my worst all I wanted was to say goodnight to my kids. That's the shit. I have a group of friends [in Woodstock] who just know me as Aaron and they've never seen me fucked up." He laughs. "It's a wonderful thing."

Use a passcode! This is one of the easiest steps toward securing your phone, but research shows that 54 percent of smartphone users do not use a passcode. Whether it's a four-character PIN or a pattern lock, set up the passcode on your phone so that only you can get past your lock screen.
Be careful with WiFi: Smartphones can be set to automatically connect to available WiFi networks, but this can lead to your phone being vulnerable over an untrusted network when you're not aware of it. Turn off WiFi when you're not knowingly using it—it'll also help with battery life.
Careful with Bluetooth, too: Bluetooth isn't as vulnerable to security breaches as WiFi, but it's still a good idea to have your Bluetooth set to undiscoverable.
Consider the downside of rooting: Many cell phone users will root or "Jailbreak" their phones to open up new features, but this can override your phone's security settings—and void your warranty.
And one of the Best tips around…..
Choose better passwords: Definitely don't use "password" or your name! Instead, make a passphrase—a short sequence of words that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for anyone else to guess.


This is a map and list of cafes in Yanasen. The area comprises Yanaka, Sendagi, and Nezu, just north of Ueno Park and the University of Tokyo. Give yourself a few hours or even a full day to you work your way through Yanaka Cemetary and the nearby temples, Nezu Shrine, Snake Street and Yanaka Ginza with their small boutiques and traditional shops.
This area is best enjoyed by giving yourself an hour or two to sit down somewhere.
Just enjoy the ambience of a place that catches your eye. There are places for people watching, quiet retreats, and old-Edo style experiences.
The guide focuses on cafes, which include kissaten, Japanese coffee houses. Even though I didn't find any espresso places, there are a handful of independent roasters and pour-over coffee places. There are many places serving Japanese home-cooking, such as curries, pasta, salads, and dishes with rice.
In the map below, the stars are for sights, and blue icons are 'lifestyle cafes', which are included for their ambience, food, or view.
This cafe takes home the prize for local character. Right on the main Sendagi Ginza Street, the owner shoos you away if you even suggest take-out. The menu consisted of wrinkly sheets pasted on the outside wall, as if from the 30s. However, the dim wooden interior also has a pretty unique character. If you can muster the courage to banter with the owner in Japanese, then sit at the bar. Otherwise, bring a book, sit at the back, and enjoy this little den!
This cafe sits right where the street Yanaka Ginza begins, a prime location for people watching. On the one side, you'll see the crowds converging into the shopping street with its mix of food stalls, souvenir shops, and grocery stores. On the other side with the hill, you'll see peddlers and small stands selling everything from used books to spinning tops.
This cafe's biggest virtue is its prime table on the patio, and right beside the window indoors, where you can watch the weekend shoppers go by.
This is one of the few cafes specialising in Syphon coffee. The decore harkens back to the early 20th century, when the rising middle class had dispossible income and would go for a local coffee and smoke. The charm in its pace. The visitors trickle in, have a few words with the owner, and become engrossed in their newspaper for an hour or two. Even though it's on the main commercial street, it's an oasis for old-timers to come and just sip their coffee quietly.
Yanaka Coffee is a roaster that has one bench in front of the cashier and one or two seats outside. If there's an empty seat when you go, give yourself 15 minutes and take it. The stall's economical seating arrangement heightens the satisfaction of finding a parking spot to watch the weekend visitors. It's one of the better known roasters in the area, with visitors from all over Tokyo popping by to try their beans. Interestingly, it's also one of the most reasonably priced cafes I've ever seen, with a regular hot coffee for 240 JPY.
This cafe is a relatively new addition to the street, but already has frequent lineups on weekends. It serves mostly Japanese-Western fare and makes a good choice for lunch (especially if you can get a patio seat on a nice day). It's a good go-to place if you're homesick for muffins and doughnuts!
Coffee Kayaba is legacy kissaten and has been in operation for decades out of this traditional-style wooden house. The second floor has tatami mat seating. On weekends, you'll find lineups like the one in this photo. The cafe attracts history buffs, coffee lovers, kissaten enthusiastis, and even foodies. If you're hungry try their legendary egg toast.
If you are looking for tatami-mat cafes, Kokonn is a good alternative to Kayaba Cafe. It's a shop-cafe-gallery with distinct areas. In keeping with traditional housing layouts, the storefront is the shop, the second floor is a gallery-collective designer space, and the cafe sits at the back of the ground floor. With the limited seating, it never gets too loud, and feels as though you've borrowed someone's house for a few hours to spend time with your friends. I recommend their pork rice; it's simple, but wonderful soulfood.
Cafe Minori has a minimalist decore more akin to Scandinavian design, which is now popular in newer cafes. Sitting just outside the Nezu Shrine, the place is an interesting counterpoint to other, more nostalgic-looking, cafes in the area. I'd recommend coming here if you just want to relax and have a change of scene after soaking in all temples, boutiques, and wooden houses. The owner left his salary-man job to open this place, which is meant for patrons to hang around.
Kona Coffee is hidden in a quiet corner off Snake Street, and not on maps. I haven't tried it myself, but their seating outside was tempting. From that vantage, you can see a framed view of people going through Snake Street with virtually none of the noise.

Are you taking advantage of Power BI's modeling capability? This is a terrific built in capability and many users build models as they begin to design their reports.
However, as we transition Power BI into being our enterprise visualization and reporting tool, some of the legacy applications just aren't going to go away. Many of those applications connect to XMLA endpoints from other semantic model providers such as analysis services on your SQL on prem.
So, the Power BI team decided to give you the ability to do the same. There is a newly announced feature in public preview called XMLA Endpoints for Power BI. Beyond the ability to connect to the XMLA endpoints with other analytical dashboarding tools (like Tableau), you can also connect to it from other toolsets that support XMLA.
For example, many of the Microsoft development tools give you the ability to connect as well, things like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), SQL Server Profiler, DAX Studio and even from Excel pivot tables. Just keep in mind it's only currently available for read access, so some of your capabilities will be limited. Microsoft documentation on this feature states that they will be planning to offer a read/write option soon.
From a licensing perspective, access to XMLA Endpoints is available for datasets in Power BI Premium only, but any user can connect to the endpoints regardless of whether they have a Pro license. The feature itself is turned on within the settings of the Power BI Premium tenant. This is only available in preview at this time, so it's not supported in production.
In this scenario, other tools such as SQL Server data tools or types where you can play with the model give you the ability to change your model with Visual Studio. Now you can start to see a scenario where you can start to use Git Hub repositories to manage your source control on the models among other endless uses.
I must say I'm impressed with the modular approach of the team to roll out Power BI as a 100% enterprise class tool. First, we saw the Data Flows feature which extracts the ELT/ELT into its own lane. Then things like composite models was introduced where you can have offline and online data sources. Now we've got XMLA Endpoints which clearly defines 3 separate layers of development within the Power BI ecosystem.
These recently added features have opened some great avenues and spread user adoption and I know there are more great things to come. The commitment of the team to evolve and improve this product has been excellent and I look forward to what they'll roll out next.
I'm often asked by clients about which Power BI offering is best for their business and where they should store their data. The 3 main offerings around Power BI all have their strong points where they excel. It comes down to understanding what each offers to decide the best fit for your organization's data and needs.

Mt. San Jacinto College welcomed a delegation from China on Friday, Aug. 24, 2018 as part of an effort to build cultural, educational and business opportunities in the district.
The nearly 30 delegates included 24 college-age students from the College Entrepreneur Training Program from Hunan, China. The remaining delegates were Jianfeng Huang, Wenwei Liang, Qing Liu and Shuai Hu from GuangZhou China. The group is seeking opportunities to collaborate with the cities of Menifee, Temecula, and Murrieta and MSJC in the areas of culture, educational, technology, and arts.
The Chinese students are part of an exchange program with the Yamei Academy of Excellence and the SoCal I.S.P. (International Student Placement) & California Homestay, two Murrieta-based organizations that provided homes and trainings for the students. As part of the exchange, the group spent three days at a college or university, including Cal Poly Pomona and UCLA Extension. The group toured the campuses, attended lectures, and experienced the American college lifestyle.
The students also attended the YESplace (Young Entrepreneur Success Place) in Murrieta. The YESplace is an outreach project of the Saturday Morning Foundation, an organization dedicated toward improving our local economies through educating and inspiring business owners, according to the web site.
During their visit to MSJC, they toured the new Eagle MakerSpace at the Menifee Valley Campus. The space provides hands-on, innovative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as part of science, technology, engineering and math studies. They also toured the new building MSJC purchased in Temecula that will open for classes in 2020.


Patchwork as complex as Americana.
In the mid-1990s, the United States economy was well into an economic expansion, doing so well that the Federal Reserve had to engineer a "soft landing" the previous year to slow it down. Had Noni been quilting in the late 2000s, however, her character might have channeled Kathryn Clark instead of a carefree, forlorn lover.
Her Foreclosure Series is a quilting expression that visually punctuates the gashes left in the wake of our economic turbulence. As a former urban planner, Clark is keenly aware of the impact the foreclosure crisis has had on the fabric of communities. The crisis, when delineated in a quilt, shows a changeable yet recurring pattern affecting neighborhoods from sea to shining sea, and the rolling fields of grain in between.
All visually stunning, yes. But sadly, hers are quilts that bear little comfort.
Clark mapped out her quilts using RealtyTrac, denoting foreclosed lots as holes in the patchwork.
Conversely, her Inhabit Project, created in collaboration with Vanessa Filley of Moira & Obbie, explores what it means to literally "inhabit" a space, to live in it and among it. Her studio served as muse; leftover remnants sewn into used napkins, her materials. The collaboration itself, she explains, is elemental to the discipline.
To borrow from Clark's Idiom Series, which "renders literally the idioms of everyday language" out of hand felted wool, steel wire, embroidery thread and twine on sewn linen and silk, what goes around comes around.
…including economic prosperity. During the next boom, let's hope, homes will be treated as places to inhabit instead of commodities to trade, gamble and lose.

Q: Accept and Accept-Charset - Which is superior? In HTTP you can specify in a request that your client can accept specific content in responses using the accept header, with values such as application/xml. The content type specification allows you to include parameters in the content type, such as charset=utf-8, indicating that you can accept content with a specified character set.
There is also the accept-charset header, which specifies the character encodings which are accepted by the client.
If both headers are specified and the accept header contains content types with the charset parameter, which should be considered the superior header by the server?
e.g.:
Accept: application/xml; q=1,
        text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; q=0.8
Accept-Charset: UTF-8

I've sent a few example requests to various servers using Fiddler to test how they respond:

There doesn't seem to be any consensus around what the expected behaviour is. I am trying to look surprised.

A: Firstly, Accept headers can accept parameters, see RFC 7231 section 5.3.2
All text/* mime-types can accept a charset parameter.
The Accept-Charset header allows a user-agent to specify the charsets it supports.
If the Accept-Charset header did not exist, a user-agent would have to specify each charset parameter for each text/* media type it accepted, e.g.
Accept: text/html;charset=US-ASCII, text/html;charset=UTF-8, text/plain;charset=US-ASCII, text/plain;charset=UTF-8

A: RFC 7231 section 5.3.2 (Accept) clearly states:

Each media-range might be followed by zero or more applicable media
type parameters (e.g., charset)

So a charset parameter for each content-type is allowed. In theory a client could accept, for example, text/html only in UTF-8 and text/plain only in US-ASCII.
But it would usually make more sense to state possible charsets in the Accept-Charset header as that applies to all types mentioned in the Accept header.
If those headers' charsets don't overlap, the server could send status 406 Not Acceptable.
However, I wouldn't expect fancy cross-matching from a server for various reasons. It would make the server code more complicated (and therefore more error-prone) while in practice a client would rarely send such requests. Also nowadays I would expect everything server-side is using UTF-8 and sent as-is so there's nothing to negotiate.

A: Altough you can set media type in Accept header, the charset parameter definition for that media type is not defined anywhere in RFC 2616 (but it is not forbidden, though).
Therefore if you are going to implement a HTTP 1.1 compliant server, you shall first look for Accept-charset header, and then search for your own parameters at Accept header.

A: According to Mozilla Development Network, you should never use the Accept-Charset header. It's obsolete.

A: Read RFC 2616 Section 14.1 and 14.2. The Accept header does not allow you to specify a charset. You have
 to use the Accept-Charset header instead.

A: I don't think it matters. The client is doing something dumb; there doesn't need to be interoperability for that :-)
