Optimization is a problem associated with the best decision that is effective and efficient decisions whether it is worth maximum or minimum by way of determining a satisfactory solution.
Optimization is not a new science. It has grown even since Newton in the 17th century discovered how to count roots. Currently the science of optimization is still evolving in terms of techniques and applications. Many cases or problems in everyday life that involve optimization to solve them. Lately much developed especially in the emergence of new techniques to solve the problem of optimization. To mention some, among others, conic programming, semi definite programming, semi infinite programming and some meta heuristic techniques.
Optimization plays an important role in the process of designing a system. With optimization, the design of a system can result in cheaper or higher cost, lower processing time and so on. For now, much software help is needed to solve the wrong problem found to get the optimal solution with computation time not too long. Applications of optimization techniques have mushroomed in various fields quickly.
Successful application of optimization techniques requires at least three conditions. These requirements are the ability to make mathematical models of problems encountered, knowledge of optimization techniques and knowledge of computer programs. The notion of optimization can be explained as a set of mathematical formulas and numerical methods for finding and identifying the best candidates from a set of alternatives without having to explicitly compute and evaluate all possible alternatives.
Optimization is the process of maximizing or minimizing a function of purpose by keeping in mind the existing constraints. A function is defined as a rule that assigns each choice of value x with a unique value y = f (x). In this case x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. Mathematically, suppose we have set S ⊂ R, where R is the set of all real numbers. We can define a transformation assigning a numerical value for each x ⊂ S. This relationship is often called the scalar function f defined in the set S.
Unconstrained optimization: If a function f applies to S = R, then our function is a function of one unconstrained or unconstrained function, either with one variable or two variables.
Constrained optimization: If S is a subset of R, then we have a function defined in a constrained region or constrained region.
Optimization of one variable: The optimization problem with one variable is the most disarmed form of the optimization problem. Functions with one variable become the center of the optimization problem both in theory and practice because this form is most often faced by engineers in practice. In addition, a function with one variable is usually also a sub-problem in the iteration procedure of solving optimization problems with multi variables. Because of its important role, it is not surprising that many algorithms are developed that are usually intended for the completion of functions with one variable, but not infrequently also the problem of daily optimization is a multi-variable problem.
Multi-variable optimization: An optimization problem involving more than one variable.
The optimization problem with continuous variable, the optimization problem with the value of x can be anything in the feasible area. The problem of linear programming or quadratic programming is an example of continuous optimization.
Discrete optimization problems, is an optimization problem with the value of the solution is limited to certain values that are usually integers. In general, solving discrete optimization problems is more difficult than continuous optimization. The problem of integer programming is an example of discrete optimization. In a situation where there is no information about the exact polynomial algorithm (computational time proportional to Nn, where N is the number of parameters sought, and n an integer constant) it is said to be the problem as NP-hard. In the NP-hard category there is no value of n so the computation time is limited by a polynomial with the power of n.
Linear programming (LP): objective and linear constraint function, the decision variable is continuous.
Nonlinear programming (NLP): Objective and constraint functions are not linear. The decision variable is continuous.
Integer programming (IP): the decision variable is integer.
Mixed linear integer programming (MILP): objective function and linear constraint. The decision variable is an integer and real mix.
Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP): nonlinear programming problem with integer and continuous decision variables.
Discrete optimization: Problems that have discrete decision variables (integer). These include Integer Programming, Mixed Integer Linear Programming, and Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming.
Optimal control: the decision variable is a vector.
Stochastic programming or stochastic optimization: also often called optimization with uncertainty. In this problem, objective and constraint functions contain random variables containing uncertainty.
Multi-objective optimization: An optimization problem that has more than one objective. Can be linear or not linear either for objective function or constrain. So for this optimization problem is the most difficult level to solve, because in practice it will involve hundreds or even thousands of constrains variables that may only be solved by using a proper computer program used to obtain the result of problem resolution, size, type and quality On the results of the output is certainly optimal.

Hawaa Hawaai Review
Mohar Basu
Hawaa Hawaai Movie Poster
Rating: 3.5/5 Stars (Three And Half stars)
Star cast: Saqib Saleem, Partho Gupte
Director: Amole Gupte
What's Good: Probably the most innocent film that has been made since Stanley Ka Dabba, this one is brimming with hope and optimism. The fascinatingly well done casting is an aide as each character is wonderful.
What's Bad: A hard-to-believe climax doesn't quite fit in with reality but Gupte's attempt to make this an appeasing outing for the younger section of his cine goers.
Loo break: None.
Watch or Not?: Hawaa Hawaai is an intensely positive film that would turn even cynics propitious. It is not frequent that one would fall for a story like this which has little novelty. What persuades is that it comes with a big heart and a pristine soul. Amol Gupte tells this story with his conspicuously piercing, asking multiple unanswered questions and devising a masterly win for the underdog. If there's one film that must be watched without fail, this without doubts stands as the best bet.
Arjun is young boy who works at a run-down roadside restaurant for wages. Washing utensils and cleaning is in his daily menu for work, but the child harbors within himself the unmatchable potential of skating.
It takes the young child, Aniket Bhargava's coaching to further his potential and enroll him to contest at the state level skating championship. It isn't hard to figure out whether our little hero succeeds at this but the journey to it is inspiring, filling the worst of cynics into optimists by the time credits flow down.

Hawaa Hawaai Review: Script Analysis
Hawaa Hawaai picks up from the grim note where Stanley Ka Dabba had ended. Quite like the earlier, it is a simple story which has a message beyond the comprehension of the young audiences it is catering to. Once we enter adulthood, the plethora of problems faced by a child becomes nearly non-existent to us. Not only there is a tendency to belittle them with a rude passiveness, we even shun kids when they approach with problems. However, in its penultimate layer, the story latently asks bigger questions about how society categorically and systematically alienates rich kids from poor kids. For instance, the most common reaction would be anger. This is how children of the lower factions of society probably don't even earn the license to deserve respect. The film's prime protagonist couldn't have from a more humble background and he brings out with charm the aspirations of his likes focusing on the persistent blind eye the society turns towards them.
But at its core, it is a simple story about a child's journey to realize his dreams. Though the climax might seem a very 'filmy' one, probably that fits this movie better than anything else could have. Glee and mirth are the two constant emotions when it comes to this film. When the film is introduced with a young kid toiling his way through heat and bearing it all despite his eyes drooping, one will be compelled to look around themselves and wonder how many similar kids have they encountered.
Yet, this child has a fascinating talent which his emphatic coach polishes and brings out to the world. In the moments when the coach stands mesmerized by the kid, Gupte probably emphasizes on the symbiotic relationship between a teacher and student without making it seem preachy. The script is so well leveled that the priggish tone is kept at bay and whatever is conveyed is done subtly.
Hawaa Hawaai Review: Star Performances
Partho Gupte, like his last stint is almost perfect for the part. He is resilient, tender and yet shows shades of vulnerability. The child somehow got perfectly into the skin of the character almost to make you believe that this is his life story. For a child of that young age, probably a better compliment cannot be framed.
Saqib Saleem's versatility caught me more than anything else. The actor who became labelled as unstoppable after appearing in Karan Johar's Bombay Talkies film owns his part with a caliber beyond excellence. The actor's tenacity in portrayal is one of the most enthusiastic one in recent times.
Arjun (Partho)'s gang of friends are exceptional exhibiting the right emotion at every cue and making the camaraderie between them absorbing much.
Hawaa Hawaai Review: Direction, Editing and Screenplay
Amole Gupte has the virtuoso in him to tell stories that are a class apart. There is simplicity in his storytelling and his films are lovingly done. I particularly liked the story's persuasive vein and woven seamlessly an array of brilliantly conceived scenes which in its first look tells the story of an underdog but the layers appear with multiple connotations about things that must be asked.
The scene where the children are looking in the garbage to find material to make skates for Arjun is one of the many powerful scenes that will choke you up. The kids even push down their priorities to accommodate Arjun's need.
The cinematography is beautiful and syncs well with the narrative but it is the soothing background score and the music that makes the film an experience even more enlivening.
Hawaa Hawaai Review: The Last Word
Hawaa Hawaai runs the risk of being compared to Gupte's previous works but as a standalone it is without doubt one of the most brilliant works of recent times. Subtle and empowering with delectable performances of Saqib & Partho adding power to the film, here's one ultimately satisfying movie that will win you over with its bittersweet and spirited work. I am going with a 3.5/5 recommending that you don't miss this one.

Students enjoy later school hour
Instead of more sleep, some kids choose to cram in more activities
Students at Bundang High School play table tennis as a part of a morning program for early birds since many schools in Gyeonggi started classes at 9 a.m. instead of earlier. Many schools in the province are coming up with similar programs.Provided by Bundang High School
Four sophomores at Bundang High School in Bundang District, Gyeonggi, were playing table tennis in the corner of the school gym at 8:10 a.m. on Oct. 7. Not far away, about 20 students were playing basketball and badminton.
"My friends sometimes make a date to play badminton in the morning as the school is starting an hour late," said Kim Myeong-jun, a sophomore. "If I don't play badminton, I come early and read some books."
As of Sept. 1, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education recommended that schools in Gyeonggi start at 9 a.m., delaying the opening bell for most of them by an hour. The initiative was aimed at giving students more time in the morning to have breakfast with their families - or get more sleep.
Some criticized the change saying it would disrupt students' life rhythms. Some seniors are worried about getting used to the late start because the all-important college entrance exam has a starting time of 8:40 a.m.
But the initiative brought one unexpected change to some high schools: early-bird students are making use of the extra hour for studying, socializing or playing sports.
At 8:20 a.m. on Oct. 7 at a different high school, Seohyun High School in Bundang, four sophomore students were holding a discussion about U.S. economic difficulties. They named their discussion club "Show Me the Money" and meet for 40-minute discussions at 8 a.m. twice a week.
"I welcome the change because I can use the time in my own way instead of studying in class waiting for school to start," said Lee Kyeong-hun, a sophomore at Seohyun High School, who leads the club.
Other high schools in Gyeonggi cities such as Uijeongbu, Anseong, Gwacheon, Goyang, Paju and Bucheon are also taking advantage of the free time in the morning. Hyoja High School in Uijeong city has seen an increase in student club activities in the mornings. The school used to have five voluntary morning clubs organized by students, but the number grew to 10 this month. The themes include cartoon theory, psychology and cooking.
Some teachers contribute to the voluntary morning clubs upon the students' requests. At Jukjeon High School in Yongin, when students said they wanted do something different, the music teachers organized an orchestra called "The Morning Brass Band."
Gwacheon Women's High School in Gwacheon did a survey of students before the change and there was a big interest in diets and weight loss. As a result, teachers who specialized in dance organized a yoga class, which 15 students and teachers are participating in.
Jeohyeon High School in Goyang revived a college admissions consulting program.
"The consulting program used to be an afterschool program, and many students skipped it because of their afternoon schedules," said Gwon Cheon-suk, vice principal of the school. "Now many more students are willing to participate in it. We are planning to post a notice on the website at Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education to invite college students to come give advice."
Of 2,250 elementary, middle and high schools in Gyeonggi, 90.1 percent of them have delayed their school starting time to 9 a.m., and 15 to 20 percent of those schools run voluntary morning programs, according to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.
Schools without formal morning programs are seeing early-bird students studying by themselves.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education wants to publicize outstanding examples of morning programs. "We will help students who come to school early make the most of their time," said Bang Yong-ho, official at Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.

Home India Oval Test: Chasing 368 to win, England end day 4 at 77-0
Oval Test: Chasing 368 to win, England end day 4 at 77-0
Chasing a target of 368 to win the fourth Test at the London's Oval cricket ground, England ended the day 4 at 77-0 with Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed batting at 31 and 43 respectively.
This was after India were all out for 466 in their second innings. The star batsman for India was Rohit Sharma, who scored his first Test century outside India. Cheteshwar Pujara made 61, while skipper Virat Kohli chipped in with 44 runs.
Both Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara will not take the field in this match. A statement by the BCCI said that Sharma had discomfort in his left knee while Pujara was suffering from pain in his left ankle.
India's performance in the second innings assumed significance given that they were bowled out for 191 in their first innings. England were all out for 290, taking a lead of 99 runs in the first innings. However, Indian batsmen surprised everyone with their measured batting with many of them rising to the occasion.
England bowler Chris Woakes felt that England were capable of chasing 368, an England record. The BBC quoted him as saying, "This team has done some special things over the past few years in all different formats.
Woakes added, "You can draw on those experiences, what we have done in the past and what we are capable of as a team."
Woakes was referring to England's record run chase of 359 against Australia in 2019 when Ben Stokes batted valiantly to score 135. England had pulled off a thrilling one-wicket win against Australia at the Headingley cricket ground.
Woakes himself had contributed immensely last year when England beat Pakistan by successfully chasing a 277-run target at Old Trafford in Manchester. His knock of 84 had helped England bounce back from 117-5 to pull off a thrilling win against Pakistan.
The English pacer said that this English side had 'certainly got the belief' that they can win.

Worldwide Distribution: Europe - Not Greece & some Mediterranean Islands : Caucasus : Transcaucasia : Urals : Altai : Kamchatka : Kuril Islands : Japan.
Larva: The final instar larva is pale brown with dark brown to blackish chevrons along the dorsal area.There is a dark brown,blackish dorsal line is visible against the light brown background and shows between the chevrons.Below the small black spriracles the background colour is paler brown.
Observations: The forewing background is light brown or brownish white with strong markings, the most prominent being the median band, which is brown and has two outward facing projections and four outward facing notches on the basal side of this band which help to identify this moth.
The colours are very strong and highlighted at the edges in white.The subterminal line is brown and intermittently broken with the strongest markings towards the apex, which have white apical streaks.
The forewings appear tapered and are strongly curved towards the apex.
The Devon Carpet is similar to this moth but has a smaller wingspan only being 27-30mm with a more rounded termen.
The moth is attracted to lights and can often be found within the vicinity of these lights, as in an underpass, for days only moving slightly from one position to one a short distance away.

Get Extra Support: Ask our subject-matter experts any genetics and heredity question. They're here to help!
We view manipulation of genes in our crops and livestock as a recent development. Yet, man has been manipulating the genetic makeup of his food for thousands of years through cultivation and breeding. This lesson will begin to help you understand how genetics works.
What is a dominant phenotype and how will it affect Adrian's flying hamster research? Tune in as he studies homozygous and heterozygous genotypes and the phenotypes they produce.
Breaking up is a hard thing to do, but homologous chromosomes always go their separate way. What effect does chromosome segregation have on genetics? We look once more to Adrian's flying hamsters for answers.
Hollywood Squares? No, it's Punnett Squares! Those wacky diagrams are a geneticist's best friend. See how they turn geneticists into soothsayers, predicting the genotypic and phenotypic future.
Understanding how Mendel's law of independent assortment describes inheritance of genes is as easy as flipping a coin. Grab a few coins, cue up the video and see how.
Oh no! Twice the genes and sixteen genotypes - a dihybrid cross seems overwhelming to understand. Never fear though, Punnett squares will save the day!
Have you ever wondered what it means if someone is a universal donor or acceptor of blood? See how genetic interactions play a key role in this trait.
More men are color blind compared women. But often, not every brother, cousin or uncle in a family tree is color blind. Why not? How can genetics explain this seemingly complex inheritance pattern?
During this latest development of his flying hamster experiments, Adrian must learn about linked genes and recombinant chromosomes to unlock the mystery of the fire-breathing hamster. In this lesson, you'll look at another exception to Mendel's law of independent assortment.
How do we study human genetics when most traits arise from multiple genes? It's certainly more complicated that drawing a simple Punnett square. Never fear, for model organisms are here!
Humans have an incredibly sensitive and sophisticated visual system. Color blindness is a visual disorder characterized by a deficiency in color detection or processing. Here we explore several types of color blindness and their causes.
Much of what we know about embryonic development comes from research on a microscopic worm called C. elegans. Learn why these tiny worms make such great research tools, and why what we learn from them teaches us about human development too!
Have you ever wondered why two separate species cannot mate and produce offspring? This lesson will examine the prezygotic barrier called gametic isolation and explain why interspecies cannot mate. It will also give some examples of organisms that experience gametic isolation.
In this lesson, we'll be looking at genetic manipulation, which is essentially the manipulation of gene sequences in living organisms to alter specific traits. We'll also look at how it works and the controversies surrounding it, and then you'll test your knowledge with a quiz!
Many disorders are homozygous recessive, from cystic fibrosis to albinism. Learn how a person (or a rat) can end up with two recessive genes and why this can cause genetic disorders.
In this lesson, we will define the process of independent assortment, examine the principle, and go through some examples. At the end, you can test your knowledge with a short quiz.
This lesson addresses the concept of phenotypic ratio. It includes definitions, examples, and illustrations. A brief quiz accompanies the lesson and highlights its major points.
Genes can become mixed up and change between one set of chromosomes to another in a process called translocation. Learn more about types of translocation and their effects on an organism.
It's in the genes. Height, sense of humor, or athletic skill are all traits we've heard as being in the genes. But what are genes really, and how do they influence who we are, what we look like, and how we function?
20. What is Polygenic Dominance?
When multiple genes interact in order to create a trait, it is called a polygenic trait. This lesson will be about a specific type of interaction called polygenic dominance, which we will examine through the example of eye color.
21. Is Degenerative Disease Hereditary?
This lesson is going to discuss what a degenerative disease is and give examples of different degenerative diseases. We will also discuss whether they are hereditary or caused by other factors.
Epistasis occurs when one gene affects the outcome, or phenotype, of another gene. We'll look at three examples in this lesson: hair color, albinism, and Alzheimer's disease.
In this lesson, we will explore what the term epistasis means as well as what role it plays in our phenotypic expression of traits. We will discuss several different types of epistasis.
In this lesson, we'll explore what an F2 generation is, how one arrives at this particular generation, and what the expected characteristics and distributions are among individuals.
This lesson will compare dominant and recessive epistasis and provide examples of each. It will also explain why dominant epistasis affects more individuals than recessive epistasis does.

PM urges global community to deal with militancy, terrorism together
UNB , UNB
Published at 03:03 am April 2nd, 2017
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said she was very proud of Bangladesh's democratic heritage, at the inaugural event of the five-day 136th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) at the South Plaza of the Parliament. "We never see democracy as a system, as we term democracy as the carrier of human prosperity and ensuring security," the prime minister said adding that Bangladesh has strengthened democratic institutions, including the national parliament and local government bodies. During her speech, Hasina urged the global community to stand up against terrorism and militancy as it is an alarming global phenomenon. "We will have to fight these menaces (terrorism and militancy) together. Militancy is not a country specific problem but a global phenomenon." [caption id="attachment_55978" align="aligncenter" width="900"] Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina releases a commemorate stamp at the inauguration of the 136th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) at the Parliament building on Saturday BSS[/caption] Speaking on climate change the prime minister emphasised Bangladesh's vulnerability to the effects of global warming. "I hope the commitments made at different forums for offsetting the adverse effects of climate change will be met without delay," she said. She further elaborated on the history of Bangladesh's struggle for independence and the road to democracy, saying: "The road was not a smooth one." Talking about her own experience in fighting for democracy, Hasina said she had to face numerous obstacles including imprisonment, house arrest, and repeated attempts on her life. "At least 19 attempts, including that of the August 21 gruesome grenade attack in 2004, were made on my life." Hasina also described the long journey of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's fight to realise his dream of giving people their right to democracy in Bangladesh. As the media plays a pivotal role in any democracy, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in her speech emphasised this role, saying: ""There has been huge expansion of mass media in Bangladesh over the last few years to ensure the freedom of expression. People's right to information has also been ensured through the enactment of Right to Information Act and establishment of Information Commission." Speaking on ending world hunger, Hasina urged the global community to help find a solution to the nearly 800 million people still suffering from malnutrition and stunted growth in developing nations. In her speech she spoke of the enormous progress Bangladesh has made, citing that poverty has come down from 31.5% in 2010 to 22.4% in 2016 with the per capita income now at $1466 and increase in life expectancy to 71 years. "Bangladesh has already been recognised as a lower middle-income country. Our target is to make Bangladesh a middle-income country by 2021 and a developed and prosperous nation by 2041." A total of 1,348 delegates, including 53 speakers, deputy speakers and 209 women parliamentarians, of 120 countries are joining the assembly. The IPU, established in 1889 with its headquarters in Switzerland, is the focal point for global parliamentary dialogues for peace, development, and cooperation among peoples, and for the safeguard of representative democracy. Parliamentarians, including 53 speakers of parliament, will make concrete proposals on a range of issues, from bringing an end to the growing inequality to promoting women's access to financing, during the Assembly. The Prime Minister also released a commemorative stamp and inaugurated the IPU web TV. UN secretary general Antonio Guterres sent a special message on the occasion. Speaker of Bangladesh Parliament and Chairperson of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury delivered the welcome speech. IPU President Saber Hossain Chowdhury and its Secretary General Martin Chungong also spoke on the occasion.

Q: Server requring default text field values by Javascript Depending on a users selection, a text field box remains hidden:
$("#aForm").on("change", function() {
if ($(this).val() == "a")
    $("#textField").hide();
else
    $("#textField").show();
});

Problem is server is expecting a value in the textfield box. So how would I be able to insert just an empty string which is then sent to the server even though the text box is hidden?

A: Hidden values still send values to the server. So you can just set the default value when you toggle the show/hide.
$("#aForm").on("change", function() {
    if ($(this).val() == "a") {
        $("#textField").hide();
        $("#textField").val("This textbox is hidden and has a default value");
    } else {
        $("#textField").show();
        $("#textField").val(""); // reset the value
    }
});

Companies, network administrators and IT personnel often suffer from the illusion that a single security solution can adequately protect their entire IT investment. If you need any other convincing, just look at the headlines announcing how network breaches of well-known and obscure organizations have led to financial calamities and ruined reputations.
Understanding Layered Security
Hackers no longer rely on a single method to penetrate networks. Just as technology has evolved, so too have hacking tools, which now seek multiple routes to attack a network's infrastructure. To fight these multi-pronged attacks, companies also need a multi-dimensional (or "layered") approach to securing their network and data assets.
The idea driving layered security is that multiple strategies are better suited than a single solution when it comes to protecting a network from a broad range of attacks. By having a layered approach, a weakness or flaw that exists in one layer can be compensated by the protection delivered by another layer.
A virus that gets past a company's antivirus software, for example, will be stopped by a firewall application. But if the virus penetrates the firewall, it will be stopped by the anti-malware application running on the workstation. But if the virus runs on the workstation, its anomalous behavior will be flagged as suspicious or unexpected by the company's intrusion-prevention system and the virus will be quarantined. In this way, layered security is designed to thwart, impede or stop the threat until the threat can be squashed.
Layered Security Models
While all layered security models protect networks using multiple security measures, their approaches can differ significantly. Some models address protection at the system, network or application level. Other models deal with security at the transmission level by focusing on data in use instead of data at rest.
Before you commit to a solution, be sure it addresses your security concerns. A company seeking to protect its network devices and operating systems, for example, can open a myriad of security vulnerabilities that can impact their environment by selecting a solution that focuses primarily on hardware, protocols and applications.
The following are brief descriptions about the layers addressed by various layered security models.
Antivirus – Antivirus applications protect the network against viruses and malware programs. Nearly all companies have some form of antivirus application, either out of due diligence or to conform with regulatory compliances. Companies should avoid antivirus applications that can slow network performance — especially when performing on-demand scans. And while detection rates have improved over the years, no single program can be expected to catch every virus and malware threat. For this reason, it is important for companies to identify the threats of most concern and then select an antivirus application that addresses those threats. It is also critical to keep antivirus signatures up to date to ensure that networks are protected against the most recent threats.
Firewalls – Hardware or software devices located between your network and an outside network such as the Internet. A firewall protects a network from attack by examining traffic coming into and leaving the network, and flagging any suspicious data packets that could pose a threat to the network. While a firewall can protect a network form attacks by outsiders, it cannot protect against attacks that bypass the firewall, such as when a proxy unknown to the firewall is used to tap into the network. Firewalls also have no power over threats originating inside a company, such as when careless employees share passwords or disgruntled workers leak or destroy sensitive data.
Trusted applications – Companies should limit the software running on servers and workstations to trusted software applications from reliable sources. Unknown executable files should be quarantined from production environments until their veracity can be confirmed.
Network Access Control – Hardware and software products that permit trusted devices to access network resources by ensuring they comply with a company's security policy.
Making the Case for Layered Security
Would you ride in a plane flown by a pilot who is "flying blind," without guidance from his instruments, air traffic control or radar? Of course not. Nevertheless, the axiom "You can't manage what you can't measure" remains true for many organizations that render security decisions without truly understanding what's on their network.
A recent survey conducted by ESG research shows that 41% of organizations were unaware of the applications installed on their network. 36% reported gaps in monitoring suspicious and malicious network activity, while another 36% did not monitor patches and downloads to the devices on their networks.
In these cases, ignorance is not bliss. An organization that does not have a clue about the activity occurring on its network — whether legitimate, suspicious or nefarious — cannot defend itself against attacks. Even a perimeter of layered-security levels might only delay attackers for a short time.
Inevitably, determined attackers going up against a defense that is ill-suited for a network's security requirements will penetrate the layers and gain access to the network and its sensitive data. Consistent monitoring and reporting using the appropriate security controls are key for ensuring a solid security foundation. Having a management layer that can monitor all security and vulnerability layers allows a company to remain vigilant when it comes to speedy identification and remediation of detected vulnerabilities.

I've made the decision to postpone publishing my additional insight section until the release date. The spoilers are far too juicy! Please see back on May 1st for my spoiler laden thoughts!
When reading it is common that I encounter words that I'm not privy to the exact definition, however it is easy to infer the meaning of the aforementioned word based on the context of the sentence and story. As such, relatively new to the Critiquing Chemist, you'll find an additional section that includes vocabulary words that I encountered upon reading the book being reviewed that either had to look up the definition or a word I do not currently utilize on a regular basis in my everyday repertoire. This endeavor is easier when in the Kindle format, and potentially impossible with audiobooks, however I'm going to attempt to continue this section for future book reviews. I'll be using the definitions from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
This sounds excellent! I think it's important for us to think about both benefits and disadvantages of various technologies, so this is perfect for that, plus it has a fun story! Definitely sounds like something I need to pick up. Great review!
Thanks Alyssa! Let me know if you end up reading Bandwidth! I'd love to know what you think.
This was written so eloquently! I'd love to reach this stage of a blog some day. May I ask how long you've been blogging for?
Ben! You are too kind! Thank you. In June I'll have been blogging for three years. How many years have you been blogging?
That's awesome! Congrats! You are already well ahead of where I was 4 days in!


For many, wildlife is the source of income and provides them with their daily bread and butter. Consider the simple case of fishermen who greatly rely for their income on their daily catches or the farmers who heavily depend on a healthy crop yield for their livelihood. Similarly, many industries such as textile, paper, timber and rubber highly depend for their revenue on wildlife. Consider another common case of hotels and resorts sitting near wildlife parks. These will only earn if the park and its animals remain conserved and protected thereby, attracting tourists staying over in their resorts, which would in turn be contributing to their revenues. There are many other people employed in wildlife based ventures such as the ones supplying fishing gears, snorkeling and scuba-diving equipment, binoculars for bird-watching, porters, guides, drivers, mahouts, who are benefited by wildlife tourism. There is a great market across the world for exotic animal products such as leather bags, belts, fur jackets, ivory crafts and jewelry. People working in these trades also have a significant dependency on wildlife.
So, if one day, forests, animals, lakes, oceans and birds go missing from the earth, it will not only have an impact on the livelihoods of these people who are directly dependent on wildlife industry but, it will also have a cascading effect on every human being. Have you ever thought from where will we get fruits, vegetables, grains, wood, clothes, paper that are few of the basic necessities for a human being to survive on earth?
Don't you feel good if there's lots of greenery, colorful flowers and beautiful birds around you? Obviously, you do and everybody does. So, wildlife and nature obviously have an important role in imparting beautiful aesthetics to our planet. Forests, rivers, oceans, birds and animals; all contribute in beautifying the earth in a major way. If there are no forests, rivers and animals or birds, earth would turn into a barren land with no traces of life. Therefore, if you want to live in a place which is bustling with life, colors and happiness, save wildlife and save nature now.
Wildlife also has an important role to play in different cultures. Many animal and plant species actually represent the cultural backbone of the community. Certain animals are even associated with particular gods and goddesses, and are often symbolic of a deity's power. For instance, cow is revered as mother in Hindus and therefore, holds a significant religious value. Similarly hawks and eagles are considered to be sacred in Native American culture. Because of such species' contribution to cultural heritage, special cultural preservation acts under animal protection laws have been formulated in many countries. If these cultural associations with wildlife would not have been formed by our fore-fore ancestors, some of these species that greatly contribute to human well-being on earth, would have got extinct centuries back.
Today, almost all the wildlife authorities across different countries are facing unlawful acts of killing and poaching of animals by smugglers for tusks, horns and animal skins. What these people don't realize today is that, they might be earning big fortunes by indulging in these activities but, 10 or 20 years later there would be no animals left which once used to be their source of incomes. What more? When there are no animals, there would be no forests and no forests means soil erosion, warm weather, drying up of lakes and rivers, no rains and hence, no crops and vegetation. This all is a cascading effect which every human needs to realize now. And, it's not a one man's job to save wildlife; it's a joint effort that every single person needs to be part of. The wildlife authorities should come forward with stringent plans of minimizing human interference in the core forest areas and effective wildlife tourism policies should be implemented so that illegal activities can be effectively controlled. Plus, for us as individuals we should start working towards taking small steps from our homes; minimize the use of electronic equipment such as air-conditioners that contribute towards global warming, pool vehicles while commuting so that there is less pollution and less harm to the ozone layer and save water. Even if we start contributing our bits to the environment and nature, it would come back to us for our good in future.

More Continuity Than Change in New CNE Designations8 min read
By David Smilde and Hugo Pérez Hernáiz, Jan. 11
Jan 11, 2015 | Analysis
In December the Venezuela's National Assembly (AN) finalized the long overdue and long drawn out designation of three new rectors for the National Electoral Council (CNE). The designations were much anticipated for two reasons.
First, since they require a two thirds majority of the AN, which Chavismo does not have, there was much speculation that this could be an issue in which Chavismo and the opposition would have to work together and could lead to a degree of dialogue and agreement.
Second and most importantly, given the degree of polarization and conflict in Venezuela, the declining popularity of the Maduro government, legislative elections in 2015 and a likely recall attempt in 2016, the CNE is perhaps the single most important institution for keeping Venezuela within the space of democratic politics. In recent years the CNE has shown itself incapable of ensuring a fair campaign, failing to control the government's grotesque use of state resources, institutions and employees on behalf of its candidates. But it has continued to run a clean election day. A serious change in the composition of the CNE rectors, however, could have undermined the strength of Venezuela's election-day platform.
Both the Carter Center (here) and the UCAB Electoral Integrity Project (here, here, here and here) have detailed reviews of the entire process from April to December 2014.
The CNE has five rectors who each have two alternates. They serve seven-year terms and can be re-elected twice. Three rectors' periods expired in April 2013. However their periods were extended due to the death of President Hugo Chávez in March 2013, which required snap presidential elections in April 2013 and led to the postponing of municipal elections to December 2013.
In April 2014 the National Assembly took up the task and designated a committee of six pro-government and five opposition deputies to select the members of civil society would serve on the Electoral Nominations Committee (CPE).
In late October the AN approved the CPE that had been vetted in the previous months, consisting of twenty-one members, including eleven from the National Assembly itself and ten from civil society. Six of the AN members were from the Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), five from the MUD. Among the ten civil society members six were from organizations with close links to the government the other four with out clear political ties. PSUV legislator Blanca Eekhout was designated to be President of the committee.
Between October 31 and November 20 the CPE accepted a total of 245 nominations for the position of rector, including Sandra Oblitas for a 2nd term and Tibisay Lucena for a third term. Between November 26 and December 10 the CPE evaluated the nominations, reducing the list to 124 candidates.
However, the opposition contended that many of the selection decisions were being taken by the government majority of the committee and not by consensus. Before the CPE started the AN voted that it could designate candidates with a simple majority. The opposition objected to this decision arguing it should be a two thirds majority.
The list produced by the committee was then published on December 10 in the local press, and on December 13 on the National Assembly's web page for public review.
Opposition NGO Sumate, presented objections to 66 candidates. But these objections were dismissed on the grounds that they were presented on December 16, one day after the established six-day objection period if the day of the publication is included. The committee did consider 67 objections introduced by Vente Venezuela, the organization led by opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. She argued that candidates should not by militants of political parties. But the committee finally rejected the objections.
The final list of candidates was submitted to the AN. The committee proposed Lucena, Oblitas, and Marco Octavio Méndez as the three main rectors of the National Electoral Council. The AN had ten days to appoint the three new rectors and six substitutes. Actual appointment requires the vote of a two thirds majority of the AN. However, as opposition deputies objected to the list the CPE submitted, most specifically Lucena and Oblitas who they said could not provide the Venezuelan people with confidence in the CNE, a two thirds majority was not obtained.
On December 22 AN President Diosdado Cabello asked the Supreme Court (TSJ) to declare legislative omission and designate the three rectors and their substitutes. They did so by the 27th, with one important change, bringing in Luis Emilio Rondón in place of Méndez. The new rectors were sworn in on Monday the 29th.
Reactions were quick in coming. Executive Secretary of the opposition coalition (MUD) Jesus Torrealba said "We will not accept little spaces or quotas. We demand fulfillment of the Constitution." He justified their opposition saying "Venezuela needs a MUD that is an alternative to power, not an opposition that negotiates its survival."
Maria Corina Machado called the designation a "premeditated deception" and called on the opposition rectors who had been chosen to withdraw their names or be part of "a constitutional fraud of grotesque proportions." Henrique Capriles had a similar reaction. By Twitter he said "And are those [designated rectors] from the "opposition" going to accept an unconstitutional naming to the CNE via the TSJ? Or was this a farce negotiated from the beginning behind the back of the country?"
Indeed one of the opposition alternate rectors, Pablo Durán, did not accept his naming saying he did not want to contribute to divisions within the opposition.
It should be said that Tibisay Lucena and Sandra Oblitas being reelected is entirely constitutional as is the figure of legislative omission. Indeed in 2003 the TSJ designated CNE rectors in the same situation.
However, legal scholar Jose Ignacio Hernández provided a detailed analysis of unconstitutional aspects this time around. The most important are the following.
There was no actual legislative omission as the ten days allowed for debate had not concluded.
In contrast to the 2003 case there was no actual trial regarding whether to declare omission, with testimonies of the various participants.
There was no order with a time frame demanding the AN address the omission.
The TSJ actually designated the rectors, instead of demanding the AN do it and providing guidelines.
The TSJ did not mention the provisional character of the designated rectors.
All of this, of course, further erodes perceptions of the CNE. Their ill-mannered and uncooperative responses to opposition demands regarding the 2013 contested election seriously affected public perceptions of their independence and integrity. UCAB research shows that less than half of the population thinks the CNE is autonomous and impartial. This battle will do further damage. And this of course strengthens the hand of opposition radicals who argue that the solution to the current political crisis will not come through elections.
However, analysts have warned the opposition against dropping out of the electoral game just when the situation favors them. Pollster Luis Vicente Leon argued that Venezuela's democratic institutions are indeed unfair, as they have been for some time. "But now there is a big difference: all of this is happening in a country that supports neither the president, nor the party, nor the government nor the economic model they are proposing. And this is the time when we are going to dismiss an election? Just when the gap against the government is huge?"
Another pollster, Felix Seijas Jr. argued that opposition radicals should avoid demotivating the vote. "Radicals should direct a frontal message against the government, assigning blame. For the rest [of the opposition] it is necessary to go beyond blaming and present solutions."
Indeed, for the opposition, the outcome could have been much worse. Of the four pro-government rectors in the CNE Lucena and Oblitas were the most moderate. And Rondón is mainly a technocrat but identified by most as opposition in political leanings.
It is worth quoting at length an interview with outgoing opposition rector Vicente Diaz. He pointed out that the TSJ had named CNE rectors before, but that the designations were provisional and the rectors did not complete their terms "These rectors are provisional until the AN decides the contrary. The TSJ cannot substitute the AN but it can cover a temporary absence."
Regarding the two pro-government rectors Lucena and Oblitas, Díaz said, "I know those two rectors well and neither of them would be capable of altering votes. Even if they wanted to they couldn't. With the electoral system that has been developed it's impossible."
Díaz had even more positive words for the new opposition rector.
Luis Emilio Rondón is the person who knows more about elections than anyone in the country. He has been in the CNE for more than 20 years, he has a Master's in electoral issues, has managed all of the areas of the institution and knows its officials. If there is someone who won't miss a beat it's Rondón…He was postulated by the opposition, even though they later decided not to vote. Nobody doubts his honor and his political position with respect to democracy. He is the rector with most experience in the institution. Without a doubt there are a set of eyes and a voice that represent the opposition in the CNE.

Beats for iPhone
Generic Company Place Holder Beats - BPM, Metronome
If you dance—anywhere from a rave to your junior prom—you've seen it. The music is loud, the lights are low. Dancers are moving in time to a hypnotic beat. Suddenly, the spell is broken as movements become disjoint and jerky. What happened? The music changed—and, as it did, so did the beat. Suddenly missing their reference point, dancers have to work to reestablish their mental and physical connection to the music.
And the Beat Goes On: Beats provides a valuable tool for DJs, musicians, mix-tape creators, and the merely curious looking to better understand the structure of their music.
That's why DJs, especially ones spinning at a club or dance, will take pains to ensure their set delivers a consistent beat. Dancers can then slip effortlessly from one song to the next. But just how to determine which songs match up?
Beats, a $2 app from Bjango, provides an easy-to-use and appealing solution that will be of use to DJs, musicians, producers, and others.
Back in the day, disc jockeys and producers seeking a song's number of beats per minute (BPM) did it the old-fashioned way—they counted by hand. It didn't take long before industrious DJs realized they could compile—and sell—printed or online databases containing the information. But even that wasn't a perfect solution since you might have a mix of a song that didn't match up with the database.
Beats provides three features that solve these problems for DJs and others—a "tappable" beat counter that can be used with any song, a metronome, and a key mixer.
The beat counter is simple and intuitive to use. Simply listen to a song and tap your iPhone's face in time with the music. A digital display reveals the number of beats per minute. A unique "intelligent averaging" feature refines that measure the longer you tap, producing a more accurate count.
Selecting the metronome from the beat counter transfers the current BPM count, making it easy to compare the discovered tempo with another song. You can also dial in a specific count if, for example, you're playing an instrument and need help keeping time. Beats offers four different sounds for the metronome.
Finally, a key mixer provides a way for you to tap on a keyboard to identify the key of a song—and other keys that will mix harmonically. An extensive help section on the Bjango Web site offers details on how to use the app, along with an explanation of the underlying musical concepts.
Thanks to that feature set, Beats provides a useful tool for DJs, musicians, mix-tape creators, and the curious looking to better understand the structure of their music.
Beats is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.2 software update.

« April 1987 – Around Paddington
Portobello Rd 1987 »
Paddington Arm 1987
Paddington Arm, Regents Canal, Westway, Paddington, Westminster, 1987
You can just see the canal through the open hatch and across the galley area of the narrow-boat Crystal closest to the camera, but the view struck me as a remarkable interlocking of the boats, roads and buildings, different eras of construction and transport. The Westway here sits on top of the Harrow Road bridge over the canal, the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union which was opened in 1801. (Confusingly there is a separate Harrow Road bridge across the canal a hundred yards northwest and yet another a kilometre further on.) At right we have the concrete architecture built for the road operations of British Rail in 1968-9, around the same time as the Westway which opened in 1970. Its building made very clear the tremendous damage that building urban motorways caused to the city.
Footbridge, Lord Hill's Rd, Westbourne Green, Westminster, 1987
There was just something zany about this view that appealed to me, with the smooth curve of the metal lamp support and the jagged line of the concrete bridge., and the two circular objects, lamp and mirror and that dagger of a church spire with its cross.
Regents Canal, Little Venice, Westminster, 1987
A rather more conventional view of the canal and a canal bridge, though I did deliberately include in the foreground those rails and slope leading to nowhere. This is the bridge at the west end of Little Venice, and takes Westbourne Terrace Road across to Blomfield Rd at the right of the picture. Google Maps names this place as the Little Venice 'Ferry Terminal'.
Footbridge,Blomfield Rd, Maida Vale, Westminster, 1987
The north end of the footbridge in a picture above, which linked Lord Hills Road and Blomfield Rd. Here I took a simpler approach to its concrete edge, making it a jagged diagonal, emphasized by the handrails. On one side of it the graffiti, to its right the regularity of the houses, probably dating from around 1850, in Blomfield Rd. The footbridge has since been replaced by a rather less interesting metal bridge.
The Blomfields came over with William the Conqueror in 1066, their name deriving from the village of Blonville-sur-Mer in Calvados, Normandy. There were many of them by the 19th century when this road was named, and among them several bishops, well-known architects etc. I suspect it was named after Charles James Blomfield (1786 – 1857) who was Bishop of London from 1828 until he resigned due to ill health in 1856.
Regents Canal, Blomfield Rd, Little Venice, Westminster, 1987
This area next to the Westbourne Terrace Road bridge and opposite the Canal Offices used to be home to a strange collection of stone works, but these were removed and for some years this was just an empty patch of grass. It is now a 'wildlife refuge', not for big game like those here, but, thanks to Edward Wilson Primary School, is The Bug Hotel, Bloomfield Garden.
Westway, Regents Canal, Westbourne Grove, Westminster, 1987
Finally my young assistant takes a rest (and a photograph) by the canal underneath the Westway.
All pictures were taken in April 1987 and are from my Flickr album 1987 London Photos which now contains over 700 photographs.

The Cardinal swim and dive teams finished their 2019 season with the conclusion of the GLIAC Championships and the NCAA Division II Swim and Dive Championships.
The 2019 season was quite successful for SVSU and showed promise for upcoming seasons with several returning athletes competing well throughout.
Head coach Bruce Zimmerman was pleased with the Cardinals' success this season.
Both the men and women had perfect seasons through October, defeating Alma, Kalamazoo and Findlay in three straight meets before falling to Northern Michigan and Grand Valley in early November. The Cardinal squads rebounded with victories over Valparaiso and Davenport a week later.
Both Cardinal teams competed well at the three-day invitational at Wabash College to wrap up the fall semester.
The men claimed first place among six teams, and the women finished second among seven teams.
The men and women suffered losses in January against Wayne State, but the women bounced back with a victory over Hillsdale College for their final regular season meet. The men swam without competition that weekend due to inclement weather.
The men and women claimed sixth and fourth place, respectively, at the 2019 GLIAC Championships at Cleveland State University.
Zimmerman discussed the many personal best times that came during this meet.
"We turned in 84 either season or career-best times and had two people qualify for the NCAA Championships," he said.
Senior Amanda Thielen and sophomore Elizabeth Caird were the Cardinals who competed in the NCAA Division II Championships.
Thielen finished 30th in the preliminary round of the 100-yard backstroke as well as 24th in the preliminary round of the 200yard backstroke.
Caird claimed 15th place in the 1-meter dive preliminaries and 19th place in the 3-meter dive preliminaries. She earned honorable mention All-American honors for her 1-meter dive finish.
Zimmerman praised the Cardinals' consistency in competing at the National Championship.
Zimmerman also highlighted his expectations for the upcoming seasons.
Zimmerman is looking forward to the upcoming freshmen and the talent they bring.
"We've got a solid incoming freshman class that we're recruiting so far, and recruiting is still under way," Zimmerman said.

Section 125 Plans may be amended to allow prospective election changes during calendar year 2020 regarding employer-sponsored health coverage, a health FSA, or a dependent care assistance program, regardless of whether the basis for the election change satisfies the current regulatory criteria. Note: to accept an employee's revocation of an existing health coverage election, the employer must receive a written attestation that the employee is enrolled, or immediately will enroll, in other comprehensive health coverage not sponsored by the employer. The notice provides a sample attestation for this purpose. This relief applies to periods before the notice was issued and on or after January 1, 2020.
Section 125 Plans may be amended to permit employees to apply unused amounts remaining in a health FSA or a dependent care assistance program as of the end of a grace period ending in 2020 or a plan year ending in 2020 to pay or reimburse expenses incurred for the same qualified benefit through December 31, 2020. Note: an individual who had unused amounts remaining at the end of a plan year or grace period ending in 2020 and who is allowed an extended period to incur expenses under a health FSA will not be eligible to contribute to an HSA during the extended period (except in the case of an HSA-compatible health FSA).
Notice 2020-33, also released on May 12, 2020, issued in response to President Trump's Executive Orders increases the $500 health FSA carryover limit. Under this guidance, the maximum amount from a plan starting in 2020 allowed to be carried over to the following plan year starting in 2021 is $550. Notice 2020-33 also seeks to increase the usability of HRAs by clarifying the ability of a health plan (including a premium reimbursement plan in a 125 plan or an individual coverage HRA) to reimburse individual insurance policy premium expenses incurred prior to the beginning of the plan year for coverage provided during the plan year. Previously, a health plan could not reimburse medical expenses incurred before the beginning of the plan year and qualify for exclusion from income and wages. Under this new guidance, a plan may treat a health coverage premium expense as incurred on (1) the first day of each month of coverage on a pro rata basis, (2) the first day of the period of coverage, or (3) the date the premium is paid. For example, an individual coverage HRA with a calendar year plan year may immediately reimburse a substantiated premium for health insurance coverage that begins on January 1 of that plan year, even if the covered individual paid the premium for the coverage prior to the first day of the plan year.
Amendments pursuant to Notice 2020-29 (permitting expanded mid-year election changes and additional time to incur expenses) and Notice 2020-33 (increasing the carryover limit to $550) for the 2020 plan year must be adopted on or before December 31, 2021, and may be effective retroactively to January 1, 2020; employers must also inform employees of these changes.
KMK Comment: These Notices provide welcome relief to participants who could not have anticipated changed circumstances due to the pandemic which has resulted in such events as the cancellation of an elective surgery or the closing of a day care. Note that a specific COVID-19 reason is not required to make a change. Also note that an employer is not required to permit these changes, but if the employer intends to adopt these rules allowing the mid-year changes, making a quick decision will be more beneficial to participants because changes are only effective on a prospective basis. This guidance does not permit amounts that have already been contributed to a Section 125 Plan to be returned to the participant.
IRS Q&As Address Open Questions on CARES Act CRD and Loan Administration
On May 4, 2020, the IRS issued Q&As on the coronavirus-related distribution and loan provisions added by Section 2022 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). Section 2022 of the CARES Act (discussed in the March Monthly Minute) temporarily:
Expands distribution options and favorable tax treatment for up to $100,000 of coronavirus-related distributions from eligible retirement plans and provides the opportunity for the qualified individual to repay the coronavirus-related distribution.
Increases plan loan limits a qualified individual may receive from certain eligible retirement plans.
Authorizes the suspension of certain participant plan loan repayments
Below are some highlights of the Q&As:
The IRS and Treasury anticipate issuing guidance on Section 2022 of the CARES Act in the "near future." The IRS and Treasury anticipate the guidance will apply the principles of Notice 2005-92 which was issued in connection with the distribution and loan provisions of the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 ("KETRA") to the extent the provisions of Section 2022 of the CARES Act is substantially similar to the provisions of KETRA addressed in the notice.
The coronavirus-related distribution and loan provisions are optional.
If a plan does not adopt the coronavirus-related distribution provisions, a participant who receives a 2020 distribution and is a qualified individual still can take advantage of the favorable tax treatment using Form 8951-E (which is expected to be available before December 31, 2020).
The coronavirus-related distribution and loan provisions apply only to qualified individuals. The IRS restates the criteria for determining whether an individual is a qualified individual, but also states they are considering expanding the list of factors.
A plan administrator may rely on an employee's certification that he or she is a qualified individual unless the plan administrator has actual knowledge to the contrary.
A qualified individual must have a distributable event in order to take a coronavirus-related distribution from a defined benefit plan or money purchase pension plan.
KMK Comment: This guidance provides some basic clarification regarding these provisions of the CARES Act, but there are still a number of significant unanswered questions that have not been addressed. It is unclear exactly when in the "near future" more detailed regulations will be issued.

The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is a series that holds a firm place in the hearts of those who remember the original series when it aired. Despite the dangerously low qualities of acting and effects that would make anyone under the age of twenty scoff, another outing for the classic Angel Grove teenagers feels long overdue. After twenty years since any Power Rangers graced the silver screen, it's a surprisingly welcome return.
Following the story of Jason Scott (Dacre Montgomery) as he is put under house arrest and sent to detention following a prank gone wrong. Along with fellow students in detention, they are recruited by Zordon (Bryan Cranston), the previous Red Ranger to become the new Power Rangers and protect the world from his nemesis, Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks).
For this feature to have any chance, adapting to modern audiences was a crucial factor. This being the first Power Rangers movie to run over 2 hours, and not to have a PG certificate, the latter due to some amusing but risky jokes that will fly right over the heads of new fans. The new instalment also features a much stronger plot than its predecessors (can't move for plot holes in those films) focusing on the meeting of the new rangers, learning their abilities and even features a brief history on Zordon. The production values have been greatly increased too, which thankfully allows for no more spandex costumes, Rita's putty henchmen included. By far one of the biggest changes between the films is the acting abilities from the cast, Bill Hader and Bryan Cranston being the biggest names to grace the film portraying Alpha 5 and Zordon respectively both provide a bit of a deeper character than previous incarnations. The biggest standout from the new team however is RJ Cyler, who plays Billy Cranston, the Blue Ranger. His role being one of the most interesting, since he plays the first mainstream super hero to appear on the autistic spectrum. And in no half measures, it is not only referenced in dialogue, but his habits do feature as important plot points. This being Cyler's second starring role following 2015's criminally underappreciated Me And Earl and the Dying Girl, we should be seeing plenty of Cyler in the years to come.
This is not to say the acting is all round great but what is surprising is that the problems don't really lie with the newcomers. Naomi Scott, who plays the Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart, mostly delivers but there are a couple of instances with spectacularly weak delivery in what should be fairly-emotionally charged scenes. Probably most surprising however is Elizabeth Bank's role in the film. Although she is fairly terrifying in her first few scenes, as the film progresses she seems to radiate the levels of cheese that emitted from the original series. The film does also focus perhaps a bit too much on the bonding of the new team causing quite a wait before any of the new crystal suits make their appearance, and even then, most of their outing is spent hidden away in the new Zords (Dinosaur vehicles for those new to the franchise). Product placement is also an issue, however they did at least integrate this with the plot and humour for example one instance could be seen as a subtle middle finger to the Transformers franchise, so thankfully not a repeat of I, Robot.
With overall an admirable performance from a relatively unknown cast, a Stranger Things-esque score from Brian Tyler (Keep an eye out for Dacre Montgomery in season 2 coming this year) and a this still holds up as not only, a pretty entertaining film but also quite respectable, as unbelievable as that is, despite a couple of flaws. However as revealed by Variety magazine, the producers have a six-movie story arc lined up. With the first outing making a good way in finding the footing for the saga, good things should be following in the coming years.
And don't worry, yes the original theme makes an appearance.

Antisemitic anti-Zionism and the Racist Left (Michael Lumish)
The western-left is the most racist political movement in the West today outside of political Islam.
The categories of contemporary progressive-left racism include:
1) Anti-White Racism
2) Antisemitic Anti-Zionism
3) Humanitarian Racism
While left-leaning politicos in the United States are searching for Nazis and Klansmen and White Supremacists and White Nationalists and the "Alt-Right" - whatever that is, exactly - hiding beneath every bed, they remain childishly oblivious to the toxic and divisive racism that is eating its way through the core of their own political movement.
Up until about the election of Barack Obama - who I voted for in 2008 - the United States made highly significant strides in ethnic relations over many decades, which was a major factor in Obama's electoral success.
Since then, the United States is regressing on issues of race even as the inheritors of the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. urinate on that legacy while calling it "social justice."
There has not been this much racial discord in the United States since 1968 and it is largely due to the fact that the progressive-left has beat it into the heads of poor "black" kids that they are oppressed and that poor "white" kids are the oppressors.
What kind of social results did they expect would emerge from incessant left-leaning racial hatred in the United States?
Anti-White Racism
Although nobody on the left ever wants to discuss it, the most prominent form of publically acceptable racism in the United States, today, is anti-white racism.
Hundreds of articles and other forms of media have been published in left-leaning venues decrying how horrible and racist and brutal - yet, somehow, fragile - "white" people are.
As an American Jew - and since the word "white" has become a racist perjorative - I am not even certain that I know what a "white" person is. I do know that I am constantly mistaken for one despite the fact that my ancestry, along with almost all non-converted Jews, goes to the Levant.
The fundamental point, of course, is that people do not get to pick-and-choose who it is acceptable to be racist towards. Either you oppose racism or you do not. If you claim that certain ethnicities, for historical and socio-economic reasons around power relations, are incapable of racism then - guess what? - you are being racist.
That is, you are holding some groups of people to different ethical standards based on their ethnic background.
Excuse me, but that is the very definition of racism.
Western-left identity politics is both racist and noxious because it indoctrinates young people into a political point of view which places individuals upon an ethnic and gendered Hierarchy of Victimhood wherein one's political significance, if not one's humanity, itself, depends upon where one falls within the hierarchy.
Contemporary left identity politics, therefore, in distinction from old-timey interest group politics, is the most prominent racist and illiberal political movement in the United States today.
It is what I call "identity politics overreach."
It is also one significant reason, among others, that Donald J. Trump happily sits in the Oval Office.
Antisemitic Anti-Zionism
This one, naturally, is my favorite.
One of the astonishing things about antisemitism is that, like an ideological virus, it has the ability to mutate according to the changing nature of its political environment. If in previous generations antisemitism was justified by notions such as the Jews killed Jesus or the Jews killed Mohammad or the Jews invented capitalism or the Jews invented socialism or the Jews represented an inferior and parasitic race, today we are to understand that the Jews are inhumane to the allegedly indigenous "Palestinian" population.
kIf you were to question your average U.S. Democrat they would likely agree that the historical persecution of the Jewish people was entirely unjustified. The western-left despises Nazism and racism and fascism, even as they unthinkingly embrace certain aspects of it. They would absolutely agree that the European persecution of the Jews was a great injustice in the past, even as they also embrace the western-left antisemitic anti-Zionism of the present.
Unfortunately, polling data also shows that a majority of self-identified "liberal Democrats" favor the Palestinians-Arabs over the Jews of Israel by a plurality of 40 percent over 33 percent.
In other words, in the imaginations of "liberal Democrats" - by which they actually mean "progressives" or, as some would say, the "regressive left" - every previous generation the Jews were innocent and did not deserve harassment or persecution... except for this one.
By some mysterious happenstance the Jewish people, today, both Israeli and diaspora, are, in fact, guilty. We were not in the past, but we are today.
Thus, who can really blame "Palestinians" if they perpetually seek to murder Jews in the very heartland of the tiny Jewish nation?
If the international community despises the Jewish State of Israel it is, therefore, because of the Jews, themselves, who generally insist upon supporting the allegedly racist, militaristic state of Israel. What this suggests, within the western-left mind, about the morality of diaspora Jewry which supports Israel is not very pretty.
Humanitarian Racism
In Manfred Gerstenfeld's introduction to Behind The Humanitarian Mask: The Nordic Countries, Israel, and the Jews, which is a scholarly compilation of articles published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) and the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, Gerstenfeld writes:
Behind the Nordic countries' righteous appearance and oft-proclaimed concern for human rights often lurk darker attitudes. This volume's main purpose is to lift their humanitarian mask as far as Israel and Jews are concerned. This disguise hides many ugly characteristics, including the financing of demonizers of Israel, a false morality, invented moral superiority, and "humanitarian racism."
The condescension and imperial superiority of contemporary leftists toward those of non-European descent, with the exception of Jews, is unfathomable. The progressive-left, as a group, treats all non-Europeans, other than Jews, like little children in need of a pat on the head and a chocolate chip cookie.
It is, at least in my estimation, the current iteration of nineteenth-century western imperial notions of "white man's burden" and it takes the form of holding non-Europeans to the ethical standards of inferiors.
In this way, European historical guilt around issues of race trump feminism, and even regular human decency, in how much of the guilt-riddent "white" middle-class judge people who in an earlier generation they would have called "our little brown brothers."
Until the western-left moves beyond anti-white racism, antisemitic anti-Zionism, and humanitarian racism, it will remain riddled with hypocrisy and acting in cross-purposes toward its own supposed values.
It is very sad that over fifty years after Martin Luther King, Jr's famous I Have A Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. that the western-left has flung King's admonitions into the gutter.
The most important thing that King stood for was this:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!
Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for anti-racism.
The contemporary left does not.
