26 Nov Giving Back: Emeritus Librarian Makes a Gift of a Lifetime
Posted at 16:35h in General	by	Marriott Library 1 Comment
When Dave Morrison was first hired as a librarian in 1987, he didn't think he would spend his entire career at the Marriott Library. Fast-forward 32 years and Dave is now happily retired and has just made a significant financial contribution to the library.
"I feel like the library has always invested in me as a professional librarian and I'm very grateful for that. So I decided that it was time to give back," explains Dave.
In 1984 the library was designated as a Patent Depository Library (PDL) and therefore a need arose for a patent and trademark specialist. "Soon after I started here, my supervisor sent me to Washington D.C. to get training from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)" says Dave. "That was the beginning of what would become a lifetime of annual training opportunities and it allowed me to develop nationally recognized expertise in this very specific area."
"It was tremendously rewarding for me to help people in this way. And without the continual training that the library made possible, I wouldn't have been able to stay current or possibly excel in my field," says Dave.
For many years the Marriott Library was the only Patent and Trademark Library (PTDL) in the intermountain region encompassing Utah, southern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, and Arizona, which meant that Dave's expertise was in high demand. Because the search methodology for patents and trademarks is very broad and requires familiarity with the USPTO's specialized Patent Classification System, patrons would come to Dave for assistance to ensure there wasn't already a patent in existence. Once that fact was ascertained, Dave would help patrons with the process of filing for a patent through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C.
Dave's appreciation of the library's past support has propelled him to make a very generous gift to the library. The revenues from his $50,000 endowment gift will be used to fund training for current and future librarians and library staff.
"I'm excited to know that my gift will provide training for library professionals who are passionate about their work," says Dave. "Regardless of where they are in their career or what their specialty is, library staff can benefit deeply from the investment in additional training."
Naturally, the library and its staff aren't the only ones benefitting. "Librarians help our students and faculty be successful," comments Alberta Comer, Dean of the Marriott Library and University Librarian. "This is why Dave's gift is so important – because it ultimately contributes to the teaching, learning, and research mission of the university."
Thank you, Dave, for this extremely generous and thoughtful gift, which will benefit librarians, the library, and patrons in perpetuity.
Sam Passey
Dave, wow! You are an amazing Librarian and I hope to be like you when I grow up. What a thoughtful and considerate gift to the Library. Way to go!

Álvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira or better known as Álvaro Siza, is perhaps the most renowned Portuguese architect of the 20th century. Siza's profile is embedded within the Modern movement, yet he maintains an approach that is both subjective and unconventional.
Born in 1933 and raised in the coastal town of Matosinhos just north of Porto, Álvaro Siza studied at the University of Porto School of Architecture and upon graduating in 1955 established his private practice. In 1966, Siza was offered a teaching position at the university, and by 1976 became a tenured Professor of Architecture. However, it was not until the 1980's that Siza garnered attention from the international spotlight.
Siza's continuous experimentation communicates a sense of freedom within modern architecture. His work spans across boundaries, from mass housing developments, to swimming pools, single dwellings, banks, restaurants, and art galleries.
In addition to the cultural and social issues of architecture, geography and climate are of deep significance to Siza's mindset. His concepts and designs do not have a pre-established language nor does he intend to develop one. He stated that his designs are, "a response to a concrete problem, a situation in transformation in which I participate".
Following Portugal's independence from the dictatorship of the Salazar regime in 1974, Álvaro Siza would enter a defining moment in his career. Álvaro Siza was commissioned by SAAL (servicio de apoio ambulatorio local), the national housing association, to plan a housing project in the rural outskirts of Evora. Siza's attempt of integrating the demands of low cost housing with the affinity of Portugal's recent events captures a delicate tension.
Other works in Portugal include the new College of Education in Setubal, Porto's Serralves Foundation Contemporary Art Museum, the rebuilding of the Chiado neighborhood of Lisbon (damaged by fire in 1988), the library at Aveiro University. In other parts of Europe his projects include the Schlesisches Tor apartment building in Berlin, the renovation of Campo di Marte in Venice, the Ministry of Defense in Madrid, and the Meteorological Centre in Barcelona for the 1992 Olympic Games.
Siza has continued to be a visiting professor and guest lecturer throughout the world, from the United States, Colombia, Argentina, Germany, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and England. He has received honors from the Alvar Aalto Foundation (1988 Gold Medal), the Mies van der Rohe Award for the Borges & Irmao Bank in Vila do Conde, Portugal (1986), and was the first recipient of the Veronica Rudge Green Prize (or Prince of Wales Prize of Urban Design) presented by the Harvard University Graduate School of Design , for the housing project in Evora.

Yes, we are glitching. Thanks for noticing.
You HAVE noticed, yes? Good.
Well, here's the story: My best friend and geekus maximus has helped me improve this site with the latest edition of Movable Type. We did it to help secure the blog against hackers exploiting weaknesses in the original version I was using.
For now, it looks as though I'll have to generate my posts on the "write entry" page of MT, which will take some getting used to. It's kind of sad to stop using the old Tinderbox Trainblogging template, which has served me so well up till now, but until we get this glitch straightened out, it looks like I'll have to post the "lame" way. Grrrr.

No Half-Fast: Abq Jew must tell you that he does not like to fast. (Does anyone?) Even the thought of going without food gives Abq Jew headaches - which, the rabbis tell us, is sufficient reason to break a fast.
How convenient.
Yet here we are at the beginning of the The Three Weeks.
The Three Weeks or Bein ha-Metzarim (Hebrew: בין המצרים, "Between the Straits") (cf "dire straits") is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples.
The Three Weeks start on the seventeenth day of the Jewish month of Tammuz — the fast of Shiva Asar B'Tammuz — and end on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av — the fast of Tisha B'Av, which occurs exactly three weeks later.
Both of these fasts commemorate events surrounding the destruction of the Jewish Temples and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the land of Israel.
According to conventional chronology, the destruction of the first Temple, by Nebuchadnezzar II, occurred in 586 BCE, and the second, by the Romans, in 70 CE.
We traditionally "observe" The Three Weeks by minimizing (but, pointedly, not eliminating) our joy and celebration.
How? No shaving, no haircuts, no (lehavdil) listening to music. No reciting a shehecheyanu blessing on new clothes. And no weddings or other simchas.
Although, as the rabbis say, "communities and individuals vary in their levels of observance of these customs."
But wait!
There are special rules for 5776 / 2016!
"How so?" Abq Jew hears you ask.
There are special rules because the 17th of Tammuz actually fell on Shabbat. We are not allowed to fast on Shabbat - in fact, we've got to get three full meals in. So we postponed the observance of Shiva Asar B'Tammuz until the next day - Sunday.
And we will do similarly for Tisha B'Av.
So now, Abq Jew will ask the simple and provocative question that he knows you, his loyal readers, are also asking.
If we're going to postpone
Shiva Asar B'Tammuz and Tisha B'Av
for a day, why not postpone them forever?
Why are we fasting, anyway?
For as Rabbi Daniel Greyber, rabbi of Beth El Synagogue in Durham, NC, pointed out last year in The Forward:
The Book of Lamentations, which we read on Erev Tisha B'Av, begins with stark words: "Lonely sits the city once great with people." The text tells the story not only of Israel in 586 BCE, when the First Temple was destroyed and we were exiled to Babylonia, but also of thousands of years of Jewish history: "Her enemies are now the masters, / Her foes are at ease because God has afflicted her."
But the present reality of Israel couldn't be more different. We are not exiled. Our enemies are not our masters. Our foes are not at ease. Instead, we have a powerful army. Jerusalem is a bustling, modern city full of life and vitality. The words of Lamentations contradicted the truth of my experience. Was I really supposed to ignore all that and fast and mourn and cry?
Rabbi Greyber then offers this insight:
Talmudic scholar Moshe Benovitz, a former teacher of mine, has one of the most original - and important - responses to that question.
Benovitz is a Zionist, and he celebrates Israel's Independence Day, but he argues that Yom Haatzma'ut - a holiday created by Israel's Knesset - is not the Jewish tradition's way of celebrating our people's return to our land.
Turning Tisha B'Av into a day of feasting and joy.
The prophet Zechariah predicted long ago that one day Israel's fast days "will be for the house of Judah joy and gladness."
When Jews have sovereignty, as we do now! Because we have a State of our own, Benovitz even argues we are living in the messianic era.
But, Abq Jew bets you're not surprised to hear, Benovitz's is not the majority opinion.
For that, Abq Jew turns (and returns) to the Conservative Movement, whose anthem of Tradition and Change speaks to his heart and to his brain.
Rabbi Professor David Golinkin, President of the Schechter Institute, asks his version of our question:
In light of the rebirth of the State of Israel and the reunification of Jerusalem, should we continue to fast on Tisha B'av and the other three fasts which commemorate the Destruction of the Temple?
And offers a long, detailed, and comprehensive answer in a Responsum which begins:
In order to answer this question, one needs to examine three aspects of Tisha B'av, historical, halakhic and ideological.
Abq Jew, for historical reasons, is most interested in the historical aspect. When the Second Temple was standing, did we fast or otherwise observe Tisha b'Av?
It seems clear that, during the Second Temple period, when the Temple stood and a large percentage of the Jewish people dwelt in its own land, the Jewish people continued to fast on Tisha B'av and apparently on the other three fast days instituted in memory of the Destruction of the First Temple.
This is not the answer that Abq Jew was hoping for. How about a half-fast - fasting for only half a day on Tisha b'Av, especially when its observance was postponed to Sunday?
We can derive from [one] episode [in the Tosefta] that during the period of the [Second] Temple the members of [one] particular family fasted for half a day when Tisha B'av was moved to the tenth of Av because of Shabbat. But the rest of the Jewish people fasted the entire day on Tisha B'av.
Rabbi Professor Golinkin reaches this conclusion:
What should we do?
We should fast all day on Tisha B'av, while ruling that the other three fasts are optional.
This is the approach of Rav Pappa in Rosh Hashanah 18b as codified by the Geonim and Rishonim who ruled according to the simple meaning of the Talmudic passage.
By so doing, we acknowledge the miracles of the rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948 and the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 by downplaying the three fast days, while indicating that we are still far from peace by fasting on Tisha B'av.
Rabbi Daniel Greyber concludes his article in The Forward by stating:
Part of the strength of Zionism was its willingness, even desire, to forget Jewish history. Forgetting a history of passivity and suffering may have helped Zionists summon the chutzpah to found the State of Israel.
But forgetting history is also a weakness; Zionism sometimes entails so much forgetting of the Jewish past that we are too quickly left without roots.
Our challenge is to create an approach to Judaism that is neither so tethered to the past that we deny the miracles unfolding before us, nor so disdainful of history that we forget our identity and the gift of an ancient tradition.
And by asking:
Could Tisha B'Av become a Jewish festival?
Could Jews knowledgeable of Jewish history and dedicated to observance of God's laws gather around the table on Erev Tisha B'Av, recall the suffering of our ancestors and, over a glass of wine and a sumptuous feast, recite blessings of thanks for returning us to our land?
I don't know. I have yet to find - or foster - a community within which to do so. I remain part of the Jewish community at large and continue to fast.
Still, as Tisha B'av rolls around again ... I wonder about what could be.


Quahogs and steamers were once in plentiful supply in Provincetown harbor. The above antique postcard is a 19th century color lithographic print published in Germany by F. H. Dearborn, Provincetown Massachussets. The card shows a champion clam digger, "Carl", wheeling his haul down Commercial Street standing in front of what is now Marine Specialties.
Clams were often used for fish bait. Nowadays Cape Cod clams are enjoyed fried, stuffed, steamed, and in chowders. Because the clam population has become depleted due to overfishing, clam digging is closely monitored and restricted according to season. But during the Great Depression, shellfish was an important source of protein for Cape Codders.
Everyone loves a creamy hot bowl of Clam Chowder on a cold damp day. A number of Provincetown restaurants serve delicious homemade chowder and one restaurant "Sally's Chowder Bowl,"–a fictional location, is a favorite dining spot of several of the characters in Remaining in Provincetown, the mystery novel by S.N. Cook. Who likes to eat there and why? Read the book everyone's talking about available online and at local bookstores. Like us on Facebook and keep the conversation going.

Q: Change status bar text color when primaryDark is white I am trying to reproduce the behaviour of Google Calendar application:

but I have not found a way to change the status text color. If i set the colorPrimaryDark as white I cannot see the icons neither text of status bar due their color is white as well.
Is there any way to change the status bar text color?

A: As previous, the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR do the work in my case, don't forget to set for higher than API 22.
add this to oncreate after the setContentView:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
}

A: you can do that programmatically like this answer
just add this
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);

A: getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);//  set status text dark

getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MainActivity.this,R.color.colorPrimaryDark));// set status background white

It works for me

A: The compat version works on API 23+.
Here it is:
// deprecated
// WindowInsetsControllerCompat(window, view).isAppearanceLightStatusBars = Boolean
// also deprecated
// ViewCompat.getWindowInsetsController(view)?.isAppearanceLightStatusBars = Boolean
WindowCompat.getInsetsController(window, decorView)?.isAppearanceLightStatusBars = Boolean

You can get window directly from an Activity.
I like to add it to Window extension methods:
fun Window.setLightStatusBars(b: Boolean) {
    WindowCompat.getInsetsController(this, decorView)?.isAppearanceLightStatusBars = b
}

You need androidx.core for this

A: I'm not sure what API level your trying to target, but if you can use API 23 specific stuff, you can add the following to your AppTheme styles.xml:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>

when android:windowLightStatusBar is set to true, status bar text color will be able to be seen when the status bar color is white, and vice-versa
when android:windowLightStatusBar is set to false, status bar text color will be designed to be seen when the status bar color is dark.
Example:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <!-- Status bar stuff. -->
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>

A: it's very simple:
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);//  set status text dark
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(BookReaderActivity.this,R.color.white));// set status background white

and vice versa:
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(BookReaderActivity.this, R.color.black));
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView(); //set status background black
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(decorView.getSystemUiVisibility() & ~View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR); //set status text  light

A: Try this once.
In your activity onCreate() method, paste the following code.
try {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
                Window window = getWindow();
                window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
                window.setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.color_red));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Note: color_red - is the status bar colour.

A: In your activity onCreate() method, paste the following code after the setContentView(R.layout.activity_generic_main);
Here is the sample code below.
public class GenericMain extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_generic_main);
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);

    }
}

A: Try this if not splash page
getActivity().getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);
getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
getActivity().getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
getActivity().getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.white));
getActivity().getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.white));

A: With API 21+, this works for me:
WindowInsetsControllerCompat windowInsetsController =
                WindowCompat.getInsetsController(getWindow(), getWindow().getDecorView());
windowInsetsController.setAppearanceLightStatusBars(true);

I use
Theme.AppCompat.DayNight

and this code works for the Day and for the Night mode:
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getWindow().getNavigationBarColor());
WindowInsetsControllerCompat windowInsetsController =
                WindowCompat.getInsetsController(getWindow(), getWindow().getDecorView());
if ((getResources().getConfiguration().uiMode & Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK) == Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_NO)
            windowInsetsController.setAppearanceLightStatusBars(true);
        else
            windowInsetsController.setAppearanceLightStatusBars(false);

A: Following @Jon's answer I would update it a little but on new apis. On new apis with themes and night themes (dark mode) I would do it by adding the v23/styles.xml and set the status bar background and text color there:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/lightColor</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>

And in the night/styles.xml:
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">@color/darkColor</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:targetApi="m">false</item>

The default styles.xml wouldn't contain any of this code, or just this, but remember to not set it to light:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>

This way we are setting the light background (and text color) for status bar but only for devices with api 23+. On devices <23 background will not be changed, as I think this is something that we dont want knowing that the text color will stay white.
The dark theme was added on API 29, so we don't have to be afraid of dark theme on api 21 ;)
The drawback of this however is that we are adding another file that we will need to remember to manage.

A: To have a white status bar and black text color do this (Kotlin):
In the onCreate function of your main activity add this
val window: Window = window
WindowInsetsControllerCompat(window,window.decorView).isAppearanceLightStatusBars = true

In resoursces/styles.xml add this
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">#ffffff</item> <!-- this line sets the status bar color (in my case #ffffff is white) -->
<!-- the following lines are not required -->
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

This works with API level 21 as well.

A: For anyone in the future looking to change status bar color from white programmatically in a fragment and back to primary dark when leaving fragment for minimum api 21< 23 in android using Java
private void updateStatusBar(boolean isEnter){

    Window window = requireActivity().getWindow();

    int color = ContextCompat.getColor(requireActivity(),R.color.colorAlertDialog);

    if(isEnter) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
            window.getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
        else
            clearDecorFlags(window);
    }
    else {
        color = ContextCompat.getColor(requireActivity(),R.color.colorPrimaryDark);
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
            window.getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(window.getDecorView().getSystemUiVisibility() & ~View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
        else
            clearDecorFlags(window);
    }
    window.setStatusBarColor(color);
}

private void clearDecorFlags(Window window){
    window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
}

Is the 'RoboCop' Remake Smart Enough to Be Satire of Blockbusters?
The remake of RoboCop hit theaters last night, and while the film is a pointless remake of a great 80s film that makes no attempt to have any real weight or substance, it definitely hits the audience over the head with right-wing satire. Throughout the film, Samuel L. Jackson plays Pat Novak, an exaggerated take on Bill O'Reilly (or any intense political pundit really), who hosts a program called The Novak Element. On his show, Novak is constantly berating Americans for not letting OmniCorp's robots police the streets just as they doing in foreign countries with the military. But is that the only satire that lies within this remake?
As I sat bemused and unimpressed watching Jose Padilha's remake of RoboCop, a few things struck me as intriguing about the film itself. While RoboCop makes no mystery of their parody of right-wing news network pundits and their biased viewpoints on the 24-hour cycle, I found myself wondering if the film was smart enough to contain a different target of satire: blockbuster films.
The evidence of this potential mockery lies within some bits of dialogue and even a couple of the plot points, mostly within the walls of OmniCorp. Even when the initial trailer came out, Jay Baruchel's marketing character spouting the line "We're going to make a lot of money," sounded like the studio mentality when it came to remaking a film like RoboCop. But that's not the only dialogue that sounds like it could come from the mouth of a studio executive. Michael Keaton as OmniCorp's chief executive Raymond Sellars harps on Gary Oldman's Dr. Dennett Norton about having to meet a release date, forcing him to work harder to fix the kinks in RoboCop in order to meet expectations that the public already had in their mind.
Further evidence comes from the conversation Sellars has with his right hand woman Liz Kline (Jennifer Ehle) and Baruchel's Tom Pope as they discuss focus group testing for the suit that RoboCop will eventually wear. There's the talk of people not knowing what they want until they get it as they look at concept art of potential suits, including one that is clearly the original suit from the 1987 film. It's almost as if they're mocking the way studios go about pleasing fans, especially in the realm of comic book movies, by going so far as to test the wardrobe of their heroes. Even the fact that RoboCop apprehending a criminal at his unveiling changes people's minds is reminiscent of the impact a movie trailer can have on a skeptical public.
And then there's one of the big plot points. After Alex Murphy is ready to be revealed to the press, with his mind and emotions mostly intact, he has a breakdown while downloading case files into his mind, traumatized when he encounters footage from his own crime scene that turned him into what he is today. In order to "fix" the problem, Dr. Norton reduces Murphys dopamine levels, rendering him unemotional and lacking any real human elements other than a face. It effectively removes the human element and emotion from RoboCop, making him heartless, expressionless, and without any scrap of real life behind his eyes.
Could this be a commentary on the construction of blockbusters and how studios try to put them together in an attempt to do the impossible of pleasing all the people all the time? The result of these kind of methods can be tragic, and result in a film not entirely unlike this remake of RoboCop: lifeless, lacking substance and devoid of any original thoughts or ideas. Is the script smart enough to contain this kind of satire or commentary on blockbusters becoming a victim to the very system that allows them to be released as hollow shells of films?
My gut reaction is no, if only because the film should have been better if it contained these poignant bits of criticism of studio filmmaking. Or perhaps these bits are there as merely tongue-in-cheek nods to the film industry and not meant to be dissected like this. Either way, the fact remains that not even this reading of RoboCop renders the film entertaining. The action surrounding the themes and story (which does nothing to build upon the concepts of the original film) is boring, and makes for a slow, grueling experience devoid of any fun or joy that doesn't shake a stick at Paul Verhoeven's original. RoboCop is dumb, heartless and irrelevant, everything a film about a cyborg detective in 2014 shouldn't be. Thoughts?

Youre not the only one to think it was satire. Read the io9 review http://io9.com/the-robocop-remake-will-shock-you-being-being-so-damn-a-1521566212
Brandon V. Fletcher on Feb 13, 2014
Well, there's satire in the film, but there's nothing in this io9 review that poses the same question or interpretation that I have above. I'm sure I'm not the only one to draw this comparison, but I've yet to see anyone else lay out an observation like this.
Ethan Anderton on Feb 13, 2014
Don't make me laugh! "remake of a great 80s film"? Did we see the same three movies? Look I grew up with Robocop just like every other 80's kid, and yes they were good, but they weren't the holy grail of movies. Most people seem to have this Star Wars syndrome where they praise the original like it changed their life, when all it did was make a first impression. Did I love the original RC? Yes, Seeing him get revenge on Red Foreman was glorious, but it was also cheesy and goofy. Not to mention the heaping pile of garbage that was RC3. This new remake is a cool take on the story. And yes, like you say, maybe even a satirical stab. However you judge this reboot, please for the love of God stopping referring to the original as if it was cinematic gold. /rant
Brando Greally on Feb 13, 2014
We're just talking about the first one, because the sequels are not good. And the idea is that RoboCop is supposed to be a bit cheesy. It's satirical while still giving into the action genre, just like Starship Troopers. Also, calling a movie "a great 80s film" is not the same as calling it "cinematic gold."
Just to be clear, that comment was directed to 99% of the internet (see Reddit), more than just at you.
The original is a classic
TacoMeatMcGee on Feb 14, 2014
Remember the Fright Night remake with Collin Farrel? When that came out,people sobbed over it's deviation from the original; stating that they ruined a classic. A classic? The original was a gaddam joke. I couldn't sit through it. Yet people used the same reasoning of it being a "classic". If that's what is defined as a classic, than I hope Hollywood never makes another one. I'm not saying this this version of RC is worth remembering in six months; it's mindless entertainment. I'm pointing out that people hold onto the movies made 20+ years ago with unnecessary devotion. Robocop was ahead of it's time in the 80's, but it's very dated today. Get over it.

Charlie Hard on Feb 14, 2014
To be honest I kinda got the feeling that Padilha was taking a slight swing at Corporate America all together with making money during war times and the way in which the Middle East situation in the movie was handled all together. Many businesses profit from war and crime. There is a slight undertone of cheekiness towards the big studios too as you pointed out. I thought the Mattox character was a direct portrayal of studio heads who had no faith in him and from some accounts tried to remove him from the movie. I enjoyed the movie but I am sure that if I had seen Padilha's version I would have fallen head over heels for it. Those who have seen the Elite Squad movies will know what I mean. I think I said this in Jeremy's review that this movie really did feel like a product of the times we are in, in terms of entertainment. It's becoming a messy industry hell bent on bucks rather then quality. I really do feel for some of these amazing directors who come from overseas to Hollywood only to be to be told that someone will have their hand up their asses making them do this and that. No wonder Chow stepped away from Green Hornet and I hope that they wide release Snowpiercer.

Robocop both new and old is pure garbage
DasBrando on Feb 15, 2014
ok for starters the idea of robocop is has been since i was a kid. intriguing i do love how they kinda stayed with the original story only a couple things i didnt like was the sex change of his partner and the chief of police.. and also the chief of police was not corrupt in the original and is in this movie? the corrupt cops that is fine it goes with real life and along with the original movies.. other then that i think the movie was an all around well done film just needs a few fixes that is all.. the original robocop was a very well done film and the second one was decent but should not have done a third. having said that i hope they make a second one just to get into the story a little more.

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting a local or national dumpster rental business in Cuba. Follow these guidelines that will help you select which option is better for you.
A local dumpster rental business in Cuba may offer better customer services that help you complete your job while keeping prices low. A lot of them, nevertheless, have a limited variety of dumpsters to rent. If you don't schedule an appointment in advance, you may not have the option you need.
A national dumpster rental business in Cuba will usually have more sizes and designs to satisfy the unique needs of your project. National firms are also an excellent option for building teams that work in a number of cities. Some people, however, complain that national firms are not as flexible as locally owned firms.
Dumpster leases are one of the most affordable ways to remove waste and debris from a home or commercial property. Still, it's important for you to consider your choices to be sure you get the best price possible on your dumpster rental in Cuba.
Requesting firms for price quotes is one of the simplest ways to be sure you get a great deal. After speaking to several companies, you can compare the estimates to decide which one matches your needs at the lowest cost. When getting estimates, make sure the firms include all of the services that you will desire. More than a few companies charge extra for services like drop off and pick up. They might also charge higher rates for removing certain kinds of substances. By having them include all of the fees in your estimate, you can compare the prices accurately instead of becoming mislead by a rental business that hides extra costs.
In the event you are looking to rent a dumpster in Cuba, one of your main concerns is going to be cost. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Cuba. Flat rate is pricing dependent on the size of the dumpster, not the amount of material you place in it. Per ton pricing will bill you based on the weight you need hauled.
One type of pricing structure is not always more expensive than the other. Knowing just how much material you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can assist you to keep a limitation on costs when you are coping with unknown weights. Whether you regularly rent dumpsters for work or just need a one time rental for a job throughout the house, you need to search around for the best rental prices predicated on your demands.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in Cuba will depend on several factors.
The total amount of time that you might want to keep the dumpster rental in Cuba will also change the cost. The longer you keep the dumpster, the further you can expect to pay.
Services are another factor that could impact your total cost. Many businesses comprise services like dumpster drop off and pick up in their costs. Some companies, however, charge for all these services. That makes it important that you ask about any hidden fees.
Eventually, they may need to pay higher costs for disposing of specific materials. In case you would like to add tires or appliances to the dumpster, for example, you can expect to pay a bit more.
Front -load and roll-off dumpsters have distinct designs that make them useful in various manners. Knowing more about them will allow you to select an alternative that's right for your job.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that may lift heavy objects. It is a convenient choice for projects that include a lot of heavy things like appliances and concrete. They are also great for emptying commercial dumpsters like the kind eateries use.
Roll off dumpsters are typically the right choice for commercial and residential projects like repairing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or adding a room to your residence. They have doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. In addition they have open tops that allow you to throw debris into the container. Rental firms will typically leave a roll-off dumpster at your job place for many days or weeks. It is a convenient choice for both little and big projects.

Key South Carolina Democrat Clyburn endorses Clinton for president
Jim Clyburn To Endorse Clinton
(Reuters) - U.S. Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina backed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination on Friday, giving her campaign a vital boost from the state's most influential black politician ahead of next week's primary.
Clyburn's endorsement comes as Clinton battles rival Bernie Sanders for the support of blacks in the South Carolina contest on Feb. 27, when more than half of the voters are likely to be black.
SEE ALSO: Here's who has the best chance at being our next president
Polls show Clinton with a solid double-digit lead in South Carolina, fueled by strong African-American support. Clyburn's backing could help solidify that lead.
"Campaigns are and should be about the future, and I believe that the future of the Democratic Party and the United States of America will be best served with the experience and know-how of Hillary Clinton as our 45th president," Clyburn said at a news conference in South Carolina.
See photos of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders at Thursday's Las Vegas town hall
Clyburn, the No. 3 ranked Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives and the only Democrat in Congress from South Carolina, stayed neutral in the bitter 2008 race between Clinton and Barack Obama.
But he said he decided to get involved this time because Clinton was well positioned to tackle many of the challenges facing minorities and the country.
"Hillary Clinton is a fighter, and that's what we need for our next president," Clyburn said.
Clinton and Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, have been courting support from black civil rights leaders and voters as the Democratic race has moved on from mostly white Iowa, where Clinton narrowly won, and New Hampshire, where Sanders routed Clinton.

NATCHEZ — Michael Arnaud won the Natchez Open last June by shooting -19 under par in the sweltering summer heat. Duncan Park Golf Course superintendent Greg Brooking announced the tournament will be played Nov. 4-6, 2022 and registration is open.
The tournament field will be made up of 30 professionals, 30 amateurs and 20 seniors in a 54-hole tournament. Golfers are welcome from anywhere. Spots are only secured once they are paid for. To register visit www.missgolf.org and search under Men's Championship.
Professional players will compete for $25,000 with $5,000 going to the winner. The first 30 paid professionals will guarantee a spot in the tournament and entry fees are $416, $312 for Gulf States PGA Professionals. The first 30 amateurs and 20 senior amateurs who pay will be included in the tournament and the amateur cost to play is $234.
The competitors in the amateur division will be broken into flights after 36 holes. Flight winners will win $750 for first, $650 for second, $350 for third and $225 for fourth.
It is a Mississippi Golf Association sanctioned event. The tournament is also a World Amateur Golf Ranking event.
Practice rounds will open on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 at $30 for amateurs and $20 for professionals. In order to schedule a practice round contact the clubhouse at 601-442-5955.
Last year, Natchez city officials surprised Brooking with renderings for an updated clubhouse at the golf course. The city is in the early stages of the work on the clubhouse.
In 2021, Robert Sanford won the senior division and Zachary Smith and Carter Nicholson won the amateur division. This is the third year for the Natchez Open.
Duncan Park's golf course first opened in 1916 and expanded to 18 holes in the 1990's.

La carta d'identità è un documento di riconoscimento strettamente personale nel quale sono contenuti i dati anagrafici, e altri dati ed elementi (lo stato civile, la cittadinanza, la professione, una fotografia, impronte digitali, e altro ancora) utili a identificare la persona a cui tale documento si riferisce.
I suoi usi, formalità per il rilascio, obbligatorietà e i dati contenuti differiscono da stato a stato, in base alle rispettive normative.

Non in tutti gli stati esiste la carta d'identità (non nel Regno Unito, ad esempio, e in quasi tutti gli stati con diritto di tipo common law, come pure in Russia e in Giappone). In tali paesi per alcuni usi può essere sostituita da altri documenti personali.

Laddove esiste, può essere obbligatoria (oltre una determinata età) o meno. In alcuni casi è obbligatorio averla ma non portarla sempre con sé, essendo sufficiente in caso di necessità di controllo, mostrare di possederla a casa.

I dati riportati differiscono a seconda delle esigenze e delle scelte dei singoli stati. Ad esempio per le donne coniugate in alcuni stati è indicato il cognome da nubile, in altri quello del marito, in altri ancora entrambi.

Storia
Nel II millennio avanti Cristo gli Assiri in Mesopotamia, a capo di un impero multietnico, realizzarono tavolette in terracotta con incisi, in caratteri cuneiformi, il nome e gli altri dati anagrafici della persona. Presso i Romani, per dimostrare la cittadinanza (civitas), bastava l'autocertificazione orale: "Civis Romanus sum" ("sono cittadino romano") anche se, per essere più credibile, era preferibile che chi pronunciava questa frase parlasse un buon latino e si vestisse secondo la moda romana. Per i soldati stranieri dell'Urbe si usava una tessera bronzea con la quale si attestava la cittadinanza ottenuta. I nomi dei civili erano invece registrati in tavole più grandi, di legno o di bronzo, conservate negli archivi statali.

Nel Medioevo, soprattutto dal secolo XII per motivi di natura commerciale, si diffuse la  "patente di garanzia", cioè un salvacondotto (guidaticum) emesso dalle autorità per coloro che dovevano raggiungere altre città o Paesi stranieri. In questi documenti, oltre al nome, era riportata anche una descrizione fisica della persona.

In età moderna i cittadini erano chiamati a riportare il proprio nome nei registri appositi, ma non veniva rilasciato loro alcun documento.
Agli inizi del XIX secolo Napoleone Bonaparte creò documenti identificativi legati alla classe lavorativa; in seguito cominciarono ad essere prodotti diversi tipi di documenti di identità. Nel 1844 il sultano Mahmud II introdusse la carta d'identità uguale per tutti i cittadini dell'Impero ottomano. Nel 1876 il fotografo scozzese William Notman ideò un nuovo documento di identità contenente anche una fotografia, mentre nel 1915 gli Inglesi introdussero il passaporto obbligatorio con fotografia. Nel 1931, per motivi di pubblica sicurezza, il Regno d'Italia adottò la carta d'identità. L'attuale passaporto risale al 1946, anno di nascita della Repubblica Italiana, benché già ce ne fosse uno al tempo del Regno d'Italia.

Regolamenti nazionali delle carte d'identità
Il riconoscimento d'identità all'interno delle frontiere dell'Unione Europea è disciplinato da un codice comunitario relativo al regime di attraversamento delle frontiere da parte delle persone. Il "codice frontiere Schengen" è previsto dalle Notificazioni previste dall'articolo 37 del regolamento (CE) n. 562/2006 del Parlamento europeo ed è stato istituito il 15 marzo 2006 dal Consiglio.

Manca, invece, un'armonizzazione all'interno dei singoli Stati membri. La Direttiva 2008/C 18/03, art. 21, lettera c, ammette la possibilità per uno Stato membro di prevedere nella legislazione nazionale l'obbligo di possedere o di portare con sé documenti di identità.

La Direttiva 2004/38/CE obbliga i cittadini extracomunitari a portare sempre i documenti con sé finché permangono all'interno del territorio UE, ed era finalizzata a facilitare il soggiorno in paesi dell'UE degli stessi cittadini appartenenti e quindi a rendere più liberi i loro viaggi, esclusi quelli non facenti parte dell'Unione europea.

Quindi, l'obbligo vige per i cittadini extracomunitari, mentre differisce per i cittadini della UE, a seconda delle leggi dello Stato membro.

In Italia

La carta d'identità italiana è il documento principale di identificazione per i cittadini italiani o per i residenti sul territorio. L'utilizzo di questa, o di un documento con foto considerato equivalente, è obbligatorio ai fini del riconoscimento, seppure con limitazioni. Può inoltre essere convalidata come documento valido per l'espatrio.

La forma cartacea, attualmente più diffusa, è in via di sostituzione con la versione elettronica (CIE), che è stata istituita nel 1994 e che riporta fotografia, dati anagrafici e firma di chi la possiede. Il documento (sia cartaceo sia elettronico) dispone di alcuni accorgimenti anticontraffazione e ne è pertanto vietata la plastificazione.

Il D. Lgs. 30/2007 recepisce la Direttiva 2004/38/CE e obbliga i cittadini dell'UE e i loro familiari a esibire un passaporto od un altro documento d'identificazione e il permesso di soggiorno od un altro documento attestante la regolare presenza nel territorio dello Stato, pena l'arresto fino a un anno e l'ammenda fino a 2.000 euro.

Per tutte le persone, cittadini o stranieri, vale l'obbligo di fornire, su richiesta di pubblici ufficiali, informazioni relative alla propria identità personale, al proprio stato o altre qualità personali.

Non si tratta, quindi, dell'obbligo di fornire un documento d'identità valido. In assenza, vale l'obbligo di fornire le proprie generalità a voce.

Se invece in possesso, ai sensi dell'art. 294, la carta d'identità od i titoli equipollenti devono essere esibiti ad ogni richiesta degli ufficiali e degli agenti di pubblica sicurezza.

L'art. 4 del Testo Unico di P.S. stabilisce che l'autorità di P.S. può ordinare alle persone pericolose e sospette (e solo ad esse), di munirsi entro un dato termine, di carta di identità e di esibirla ad ogni richiesta degli ufficiali ed agenti di P.S..

Per le altre persone (non pericolose e non sospette), sussiste solo l'obbligo previsto dall'art. 651 C.P. che punisce chi, ad un pubblico ufficiale nell'esercizio delle sue funzioni, rifiuta di dare indicazioni sulla propria identità personale, sul proprio stato o su altre qualità personali.

Esiste l'obbligo di fornire indicazioni sulla propria identità personale, ma non il dovere di documentarla (vedi Cassazione, sez. I, 25 giugno 1987, n. 1769).

Una persona sprovvista di documenti, potrebbe ad esempio consentire di essere accompagnata a un posto di polizia per l'identificazione.

L'obbligo di munirsi e di esibire la carta di identità ad ogni richiesta degli ufficiali e agenti di P.S. sussiste solo per le persone pericolose e sospette cui l'autorità di P.S. lo ha ordinato, ai sensi dell'art. 4 del Testo Unico di P.S.

In tal caso, il rifiuto di esibire un documento di riconoscimento e contemporaneamente di dare indicazioni sulla propria identità personale, costituisce concorso materiale della contravvenzione prevista dall'art. 651 C.P. con la contravvenzione prevista dal Testo Unico di P.S.(Cassazione, sez. VI, 13 aprile 1989, n. 10378).

Requisiti per la fototessera biometrica
Le caratteristiche tecnico-qualitative che deve avere la foto per la Carta d'identità italiana:

 Non deve avere riflessi di flash sul viso, e soprattutto non gli occhi rossi;
 Il viso deve coprire il 70-80% della foto dalla base del mento alla fronte;
 La messa a fuoco deve essere nitida;
 La foto deve avere uno sfondo bianco e con luce uniforme;
 La foto deve essere fatta guardando direttamente la macchina;
 Deve essere recente (non più di 6 mesi);
 La foto deve essere a colori;
 La foto deve essere stampata su carta di alta qualità e ad alta definizione;
 Il viso deve essere ben centrato nella macchina e quindi non di profilo;
 La persona fotografata deve avere un'espressione neutra e tenere la bocca chiusa;
 Gli occhi debbono essere aperti e ben visibili;
 Grandezza: 35x45 mm;
 La foto deve mostrare la persona da sola, senza altri oggetti o persone sullo sfondo.

In Francia
In Francia la carta d'identità (Carte nationale d'identité sécurisée) è utilizzata dal 1940, introdotta per l'identificazione fatta dalla Repubblica di Vichy nell'ambito dell'olocausto (un utilizzo dell'antropometria da parte dello Stato che fu sottolineato da Giorgio Agamben).

La carta d'identità francese contiene la fotografia del volto e i dati anagrafici, oltre al numero di identificazione nazionale.

In passato l'utilizzo della carta d'identità, come l'aggiornamento della stessa a cadenza periodica (10 anni) e in caso di cambio di residenza, era obbligatorio. Dal 1955 non sussiste l'obbligatorietà, ma rimane uno strumento che può essere utilizzato per dimostrare la propria identità alle forze di polizia, sebbene non è esplicitato dalla legge che il documento sia sufficiente. In ogni caso alle forze di polizia è permesso l'arresto, per non più di 4 ore, di un cittadino sprovvisto del documento, ai fini di verificarne l'identità ("vérification d'identité").

Per transazioni economiche di rilievo, in ambito bancario, è accettata più frequentemente della patente di guida.

In Portogallo
Il Portogallo obbliga i cittadini portoghesi a possedere un documento d'identità (Bilhete de Identidade) a partire dai sei anni d'età. I maggiori di anni 16 hanno l'obbligo di portarlo con sé ogni volta che ci si trova in luogo pubblico. L'accertamento dell'identità di una persona - sia essa cittadino naturale del paese, straniero (comunitario o extracomunitario), residente o meno sul territorio portoghese - avviene attraverso la richiesta delle generalità che è opportuno attestare mediante l'esibizione di un idoneo e valido documento d'identità. Tuttavia, sebbene le autorità - di polizia o pubbliche - possono richiedere l'esibizione di un documento d'identità, non vige alcun obbligo se non esiste una concreta, valida e argomentata ragione di sospetto nei confronti della persona da identificare.

In caso di rifiuto di fornire gli elementi utili all'identificazione, le autorità possono condurre la persona al più vicino posto di polizia per effettuare gli accertamenti volti all'identificazione. A tale scopo può anche essere predisposto un rilievo fotodattiloscopico - che, tuttavia, verrà distrutto davanti alla persona in caso di non formalizzazione di alcuna accusa - e il tempo di fermo sarà quello sufficiente ad accertare l'identità e, comunque, non oltre le due ore.

Il documento d'identità principale per i cittadini naturali del Portogallo è il "Bilhete de Identidade" o anche Cartão de Cidadão. Questo documento, oltre ai dati anagrafici completi, contiene anche altre informazioni come: il numero di previdenza sociale, il numero di identificazione fiscale, il numero d'iscrizione al servizio sanitario portoghese, eccetera. Il suo periodo di validità è di cinque anni.

Uno straniero residente sul territorio portoghese per più di 183 giorni l'anno può richiedere e ottenere la "Carta de Residência" - differente per cittadini UE rispetto a quelli extra-UE - che servirà a legittimare la presenza sul territorio oltre il periodo dei tre mesi stabiliti dalla legge. Tale documento accompagna il documento d'identità del paese di provenienza dello straniero. Trascorsi cinque anni di residenza continuativa in Portogallo, lo straniero può chiedere e ottenere il "Cartão de Residência Permanente" che, contrariamente al documento precedente, vale come documento d'identità per l'identificazione in territorio portoghese senza che debba essere accompagnato da altro documento. Solo trascorsi sei anni (dieci per gli extracomunitari), uno straniero residente permanentemente in Portogallo può chiedere e ottenere la cittadinanza portoghese e conseguire il "Cartão de Cidadão".

The holidays have me excited for friends, family, and festive decor! I love to entertain and I'm constantly looking for easy ways to keep my gatherings festive and fun. I'm sharing a super easy recipe for some Holiday Cheer Cherry Punch! It's basically a festive take on the Shirley Temple - and it's oh-so-tasty!
Often times when we have a gathering, we like to include the children. My Holiday Cheer Cherry Punch is the perfect addition to a kid-friendly party. Cherry Man products make it super easy!
First I wet the outer rim of a plastic cup, and dipped it in a bowl of colored sugar sprinkles.
Add in your mixer. I chose Sprite. A good rule of thumb is to use 8 ounces of a mixer, to 1 ounce of Cherry syrup. It really depends on how sweet you'd like your drink.
Next, add your delicious Cherry Man Cherry Syrup. This stuff is DELICIOUS! I may have sampled a couple cups of my Holiday Cheery Cherry punch - you know, just to make sure it was as really tasty as I claim it to be. It totally is!
To finish off the drink, I took some Cherry Man cherries and rolled them in sugar sprinkles, and dropped them in the Cherry Punch! The kids are going to LOVE watching it fizzle and bubble!
Since I had some Cherry Man cherries left, I decided to do something fun and festive with them. I covered them in chocolate and a holiday sprinkle mix! They were super easy to create and added another fun snack to our party.
They even look super festive sitting on the rim of your Holiday Cheer Cherry Punch!

Distribution
The species is found at elevations between  in the states of Arizona and Utah, in the Southwestern United States. It grows in soils derived from sandstone.

Description
Encelia resinifera is a shrub ranging in height from . The trunk, which becomes fissured with age, supports slender stems.

The leaves, which range between 10 and 25 mm in length, are ovate or lanceolate and are usually pointed at the tips.

The yellow flowerheads are borne singly, appearing between May and July (late fall to mid-summer) in their native range. These have 8-13 ray florets.

Subspecies
Two subspecies have been identified:
Encelia resinifera subsp. resinifera — button brittlebush.
Encelia resinifera subsp. tenuifolia C.Clark — found in the Grand Canyon area. It has both leaves and ray laminae with a length that is more than three times their width.

Taxonomy
Encelia resinifera was originally described as a variety of Encelia frutescens (Encelia frutescens var. resinosa) by M.E.Jones in 1913. In 1998 it was reclassified as a distinct species by Curtis Clark.

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic medicine treatment which first of all helps to fight cellulite, excessive weight, and ageing skin. In the middle of the 20th century, a French physician Michel Pistor invented a type of therapy, in the course of which multiple microscopic quantities of certain active agents, which help to fight various problems, are injected into the skin. It's because the active agents are injected directly into the skin that mesotherapy is so effective. The medications are absorbed at a certain area and don't travel throughout the entire organism. The efficiency of cellulite treatment also consists in the fact that the active agents are injected directly into the fat, where they destroy fat cells quicker and more efficiently. The medications used in mesotherapy include amino acids, coenzymes, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, minerals, and nucleic acids. Since all of them are naturally found in human body, mesotherapy is totally safe and, as a rule, doesn't cause allergy.
Mesotherapy is recommended for people with especially greasy skin, since it diminishes the appearance of the pores, improves pH balance in the body, and makes the skin less greasy and shiny. At the same time, mesotherapy also revives dry skin, stimulating blood circulation and brightening the complexion.
The treatment is performed as closely to the problem area(s) as possible. Microscopic quantities of medications are injected into subcutaneous tissues, from where they do not go directly into the blood circulatory system, but are being deposited and slowly absorbed, i.e. the effect is long-lasting indeed. The injections are administered either one by one with the help of a syringe, or using a mesotherapy gun. The injections into the superficial epidermal layer are performed at the depth of 0-2 mm, while deeper injections are delivered at the depth of 2-10 mm. No more than three different active agents can be mixed in a single injection, and within one session about 4-5 ml of the medication is provided to the patient (excluding cellulite).
a precisely dosed mixture of homeopathic agents stimulates the healing properties of the organism itself.
Mesotherapy doesn't suppress the symptoms of a disease and neither does it load the organism with toxic substances.
Mesotherapy doesn't require any special preparation. However, it is important that the skin should be clean. Do not use any creams, visit a sauna or a solarium on the day of the treatment. The activities mentioned above may clog pores and make the skin on one's face too sensitive. When the skin is clean, and the dead cells have been peeled off, the active agents reach the deeper layers of skin more quickly and act more efficiently. One of the means of cleaning the skin is microresurfacing.
minor discoloration of facial skin, which resolves on its own, or can be treated with chemical peels to remove it quickly.
in some cases allergy can develop.
The patient may go on with his/her everyday activities. However, on the day when the treatment is provided the skin should rest. Do not apply makeup or creams on your skin on the day of the procedure after it has been performed. Although there is no recovery period, the patient may want to stay in after the treatment, since the skin may indeed be a bit red and sensitive. In order to achieve even more long-lasting results and visible changes, it is recommended to repeat the procedure. You can undergo mesotherapy treatment on your face once a week within a month, and on your body – twice a week 6-10 times consecutively. The results will be more durable if you undergo an additional treatment session after every two-three months.
You will be able to get additional information during the consultation with our specialist.

Q: Why does EntityFramework's LINQ parser handle an externally defined predicate differently? I'm using Microsoft's Entity Framework as an ORM and am wondering how to solve the following problem.
I want to get a number of Product objects from the Products collection where the Product.StartDate is greater than today. (This is a simplified version of the whole problem.)
I currently use:
var query = dbContext.Products.Where(p => p.StartDate > DateTime.Now);

When this is executed, after using ToList() for example on query, it works and the SQL created is effectively:
SELECT * FROM Product WHERE StartDate > (GetDate());

However, I want to move the predicate to a function for better maintainability, so I tried this:
private Func<Product, bool> GetFilter()
{
  Func<Product, bool> filter = p => p.StartDate > DateTime.Now;
  return filter;
}
var query = dbContext.Products.Where(GetFilter());

This also works from a code point of view insofar as it returns the same Product set but this time the SQL created is analogous to:
SELECT * FROM Product;

The filter is moved from the SQL Server to the client making it much less efficient.
So my questions are:

*

*Why is this happening, why does the LINQ parser treat these two formats so differently?

*What can I do to take advantage of having the filter separate but having it executed on the server?

A: You need to use an Expression<Func<Product, bool>> in order for it to work like you intend. A plain Func<Product, bool> tells LINQ that you want it to run the Where in MSIL in your program, not in SQL. That's why the SQL is pulling in the whole table, then your .NET code is running the predicate on the entire table.

A: You are returning a Func, but to inject the predicate into the SQL, LINQ requires an expression tree. It should work if you change the return type of your method (and of your local variable, of course) to Expression<Func<Product, bool>>.

A: Since in second case filter func maybe arbitrary LINQ to EF can't parse you filter to SQL and has to resolve it on client side.

Q: How can there be an electric field normal to the surface in a surface plasmon in a metal Ashcroft and Mermin's Solid State Physics, chapter one, has an exercise about surface plasmons. They give the electric field normal to the surface of the metal as $E_z=Be^{iqx}e^{-Kz}$ How can this be? Wouldn't this imply a current going out of the metal? Shouldn't a negative charge accumulate at the boundary, cancelling the field?

A: It is a characteristic of conductors at electrostatic equilibrium is that the electric field upon the surface of the conductor is directed entirely perpendicular to the surface.

Sunday, 6/12: Mary Pickford stars in 'Rosita' (1923), kicking off Town Hall Theatre series
Yes, 'Rosita' was directed by that Ernst Lubitsch, who was making his U.S. debut.
And we now switch from medieval England (last night's screening of 'Robin Hood') to medieval Spain, the setting for Mary Pickford's costume drama 'Rosita' (1923), which I'm accompanying today at 2 p.m.
The 'Rosita' screening launches a summer series of programs spotlighting women of the silent era.
Some, such as Pickford and Gloria Swanson, are still well known even today. Others are now forgotten—any members of the Mae Marsh Fan Club out there?
Well, they'll all return to the big screen this summer at the Town Hall Theatre in Wilton, N.H., where six programs and eight features are slated through August.
To review the complete line-up, download the calendar.
The one thing to mention about 'Rosita' is that it's based on an obscure 19th century opera, 'Don César de Bazanset,' and set in Seville, Spain — just like a certain other opera featuring a barber in the title.
Another opera set in Seville is Bizet's 'Carmen,' so it's interesting to learn that in 'Rosita,' the title character's mother is named...Carmen!
This Carmen, however, has little in comment with the other opera's sexy gypsy girl.
In 'Rosita,' Carmen is a middle-aged housewife built like a fire plug and plagued by three noisy brats and a lazy husband who spends most of the film either in a hammock or in bed.
Could 'Rosita' be an alternative history version of 'Carmen?' What if, instead of dying at the end of the opera, she went on to live a full life? And this is how it turned out?
Makes ya think.
Well, I hope you'll think about swinging over to the Town Hall Theatre this afternoon, to take in Mary Pickford playing a guitar-wielding street singer in 'Rosita.'
More details about today's screening are in the press release:
Mary Pickford co-stars with her guitar in 'Rosita' (1923).
TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2022 / FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mary Pickford's 'Rosita' at Town Hall Theatre with live music on Sunday, June 12
Screening kicks off summer series spotlighting female stars in eight silent feature films shown over three months
WILTON, N.H.—Mary Pickford's 1923 costume drama 'Rosita' will launch the Town Hall Theatre's summer-long salute to female stars of the silent screen.
'Rosita' will be screened with live music on Sunday, June 12 at 2 p.m. at the Town Hall Theatre, 40 Main St., Wilton, N.H.
Admission is free; a donation of $10 per person is suggested to help defray expenses.
'Rosita,' a big budget picture based on the opera 'Don César de Bazan,' finds Pickford playing the title character, a Spanish street singer during the reign of King Charles II.
Pickford's mockery of King Charles gets her into hot water—until the lecherous King finds himself attracted to the decidedly un-royal singer.
'Rosita' marked a departure for Pickford, who had built her career playing ingenue roles. 'Rosita' was the first time she'd played a full-fledged adult character.
'Rosita' launches a series of six programs this summer in which eight full-length features will be screened, all with live music by accompanist Jeff Rapsis.
Here's the line-up:
• Sunday, June 19 at 2 p.m.: 'Mickey' featuring Mabel Normand. Comic legend Mabel Normand stars in a rare 1918 comedy/drama playing an unsophisticated miner's daughter sent East to live with an aunt, causing no end of chaos—and leading to a lot of romance, too.
• Sunday, July 17 at 2 p.m.: Double feature with Greta Garbo, Colleen Moore. In 'The Single Standard' (1929), screen icon Garbo is a socialite determined to treat men the way they treat women; in 'Ella Cinders' (1926), Moore reinvents the fairy tale with a modern (1920s) comedic twist.
• Sunday, July 24 at 2 p.m.: Norma Talmadge in 'Within the Law.' Silent screen dramatic star Norma Talmadge plays a shopgirl wrongly imprisoned, and bent on revenge against the man who wronged her in this vintage 1923 release. Filmed on location in New York City.
• Sunday, Aug. 14 at 2 p.m.: Marion Davies in 'Beverly of Graustark.' Gender-bending 1926 comedy in which Davies stars as an American cousin of a European prince—and with whom she must switch places to keep the kingdom from unraveling. Newly released title!
• Sunday, Aug. 28 at 2 p.m.: Double feature with Gloria Swanson, Mae Marsh. Silent screen icon Gloria Swanson stars in 'Fine Manners' (1926), a comedy about a chorus girl trying to keep up with high society beau. In 'Daddies' (1924), Mae Marsh plays an unlikely orphan adopted by the head of the local Bachelor's Club. Hilarity ensues!
All titles in the series have never been shown as part of the Town Hall Theatre's long-running silent film programming.
"We specifically chose films that we haven't run before in Wilton, in part to explore the incredible range and surprising diversity of roles women played in Hollywood's silent era," said Jeff Rapsis, the Town Hall Theatre's silent film accompanist.
'Rosita' (1923) starring Mary Pickford, the first program in a three-month series featuring women of the silent screen, will be shown with live music on Sunday, June 12 at 2 p.m. at the Town Hall Theatre, 40 Main St., Wilton, N.H.

South Korea has said it will hold new large-scale military drills involving ground and air live fire on Thursday.
Artillery, jets and about 800 soldiers will take part, the government said, alongside separate naval exercises that began on Wednesday.
Drills by the South on Monday near Yeonpyeong sparked Northern threats of retaliation that did not materialise.
An army spokesman said Thursday's drill would be held at Pocheon, 20km (12 miles) south of the border - about 50km from central Seoul.
Exercises have been held at Pocheon before, but this would be on an unprecedented scale, the spokesman said.
"The scale of mechanised assets taking place is enormous. When we would normally have 6 K-9 mechanised artillery, we'll have 36.
"We'll have the F-15 jets firing. We'll have choppers. You can say most of the mechanised assets taking part will be firing live ammunition," the spokesman said.
"We will retaliate thoroughly if the North commits another provocative act like the shelling of Yeonpyeong," First Armoured Battalion commander Choo Eun-sik told Yonhap news agency.
"Through this exercise [at Pocheon], we will demonstrate our solid military preparedness," he said.
The BBC's Kevin Kim in Seoul says this is the largest winter live-fire exercise ever conducted on land here.
Separately, a "routine" four-day naval firing exercise has begun off the east coast of South Korea, involving six warships and helicopters.
The North Korean shelling of Yeonpyeong shocked South Koreans.
It sparked the replacement of the country's defence minister and the development of a more active defence and deterrence policy among South Korean planners.
South Korea and the US - with which it has a long military relationship - had already been conducting large-scale military exercises, following the apparent torpedoing of a South Korean warship by the North on 26 March, which killed 46 south Korean sailors.
The pace of military drills has been stepped up in recent weeks, despite frequent denunciations from North Korea and its closest ally China.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, a giant Christmas tree was lit on the southern side of the demilitarized zone, despite concerns in Seoul that North Korea could strike the position.
Efforts to redirect the Korean issue back to the negotiating table have been unsuccessful.
China and the North say it is time to return to the six-nation talks about North Korea's nuclear programmes.
But the US, South Korea and Japan have said they will not return to such talks, which have previously involved rewards for the North if it cuts back on nuclear development.
After a visit to North Korea, the US politician, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, said North Korea agreed to let international monitors back into the country to inspect its nuclear sites.
China has also urged the North to invite staff from the International Atomic Energy Agency but there has been no word from the North on the subject.
"The six-party talks will be restarted again when the North Koreans display a willingness to change their behaviour," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
North Korea walked out of the six-party talks in April 2009 and expelled UN nuclear inspectors from the country.
