Hedgewars – free multi-platform game similar to Worms
If you were born in a generation where Worms was considered a near equivalent to Mario, then you might want to check Hedgewars.

Basically, just like Lemmings, your main goal is to guide a group of Penguins from point A to point B. To make it challenging, there will be tons of obstacles preventing you from doing so. It's your job to reign the penguins in, so to speak, and make them follow your instructions.

Tech Giants: JUNO CEO Josh Hotsenpiller on Building Event Ecosystems
Matt Swenson
When Josh Hotsenpiller developed the idea of a platform launching events into the virtual world, he sought a name that matched what he believed to be an out-of-this-world idea. Juno, the name of a satellite orbiting Jupiter, immediately jumped out.
JUNO, Hotsenpiller's company, has been firing on all cylinders since launching in mid-2020. Already a successful entrepreneur through CrowdHub and three previous start-ups, Hotsenpiller saw there was space in the ever-evolving events industry to reach a new level of connection. He has not so quietly been building an all-star team to meet the needs of the company's 61-and-growing clients.
At the core of JUNO are "seven Es" — principles that serve as a North Star as the platform takes off. They are:
Expect Greatness
Earn Everything
End Well
The energy certainly comes from JUNO's exuberant CEO. Here, he walks — well, maybe flies — us through his vision of the hybrid events world.
With the rush to move back to in-person, why is there a need for virtual event platforms?
People are excited to get back physically, but I think there's a realization that we leave a lot of people out of the connection who can't travel. People are now connecting virtually all the time, whereas we used to see people and share ideas maybe once or twice a year. So what we really see is moving away from a singular live event and into a living ecosystem year-round. Organizations will keep their physical time but are realizing it's time to move into the actual virtual engagement world year-round.
Travel is expensive, it's more expensive than it's ever been. And there is inflation. We don't know what's going to happen to our economy but inflation seems to be on the horizon. These things are going to affect travel.
What will 365 engagement really look like?
There are two things to consider. One is the power of networking. One of the things we're coming out with our second screen companion experience is where members can actually record like a 15-30 second video of themselves and then it's similar to a dating app, and we find people you should connect with.
The other is themes. It has to be the right subject matter, and you find 14 other people or experts talking about a subject and you join in.
What do you make of Zoom fatigue?
I think everybody gets fatigued about everything. People just love to say it but don't really mean it. Do we want to do every single thing on a video? No, but if all of a sudden we said we're going to take away Zoom, how do you think people would respond? Nobody wants to be stuck on any one thing. And when they do, they complain about it. If all I could go to was one restaurant, I'd get fatigued.
How should content be dispersed online?
I think the world is all about microlearning. It's three to five minutes in chunks, and if they want to go to the next three to five minutes they can, and if they don't, they won't. For example, with Netflix, when you get done with one season or episode, and that little ticker comes to watch the next one in under a second. I think it's all about taking your content, putting it into micro experiences. Let them build on each other and then let the user go at their pace.
Do you think the rise of virtual events will negatively affect in-person?
If you look at it, you realize that most organizations get 15%, maybe 20% of their members to show up at a conference. That's 80% of your audience who did not show up to your grand Super Bowl. Are you going to just leave them on the field? I don't think so. I think there's a big opportunity for both.
Plus, it's smart business, right?
Why would any of us want to bet everything on one day? It just defies logic. I think the idea is to want a vision, tools and strategies that drive revenue all year long.

#49 Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street
Claudia gets a (somewhat) long-term job sitting for Rosie Wilder. Rosie is...difficult, to say the least. She's incredibly talented, both academically and performance-wise, and she has a busy career as a child actor. She's also sort of cold and unfriendly, and manages to make Claud feel like the stupidest person in the world. Claudia doesn't even want to go back to the Wilder's a second time, but she sucks it up and goes. When Rosie needs help with her homework, though, Claudia calls in Janine to work with her.
On the few days that Claudia can't be with Rosie, other BSC members take her place. Stacey goes, and ends up having to read a soap opera scene with Rosie while she auditions for a tv show. Jessi tries to get Rosie to talk about dance (something they have in common), but Rosie has to practice for a crossword puzzle competition that she's going to be in at school. Jessi ends up calling in Janine as well, and (just like Claud, Stacey, and Jessi), Janine ends up getting frusrated with Rosie's attitude. Before Jessi leaves, Rosie makes a surprising request: she only wants Claudia to sit with her from then on, because she likes Claudia the best. That's a pretty surprising statement from a kid who doesn't seem to like much of anyone or anything.
Claudia finally realizes that Rosie acts the way she does because she's unhappy. She's doing too much (the girl is only 7), and she doesn't really like all of her activities. Claud encourages Rosie to talk to her parents, and they agree to let her pare down her list of activities to the ones she enjoys most. One of those activities is going to be art; that's why Rosie was so adamant about wanting only Claudia to sit for her. Rosie liked watching Claudia work!
Subplot: Claudia is getting ready for an art show (in her garage) of some Andy Warhol-inspired paintings of junk food.
Is it just me, or were the BSC members too hard on Rosie? She had a bit of an attitude, but she wasn't that bad. The Delaneys were a heck of a lot worse when they first appeared in the series, but no one really dreaded sitting for them like Claud did for Rosie.
Another Ironic Quote: "I don't want to be part of any audition," said Kristy. "I'd die." Well, she's about three Super Specials away from proving herself very, very wrong. ;)
The junk food paintings project is probably my favorite project of Claud's from the entire series. I wonder why she didn't think of it sooner! I also wonder what her parents thought of it, seeing as they don't want her eating that stuff. They had to know that she was using real subjects.
I had fun trying to come up with the crossword clues as Rosie was working on her puzzles. I got most of them right, too! :)
Man...I never realized how boring most of the books in the late 40's through early 50's are! The one notiable exception would be #50, which is one of my personal favorites in the whole series. Other than that...I think I'm in for a rough few weeks. Thank goodness for the Super Specials!

Barack Obama did not watch the Republican presidential candidates' debate in Manchester, N.H., on Monday night, we are told. He was busy addressing a campaign fundraising event in Miami.
Romney in Front as Feisty Bachmann Gains on Pawlenty
Barack Obama did not watch the Republican presidential candidates' debate in Manchester, N.H., on Monday night, we are told. He was busy addressing a campaign fundraising event in Miami.
If Obama had Tivoed the debate, he would have seen a full crowd in the glitzy cavernous hall in St. Anselm's College. Something of a contrast to the empty seats at the top level of the gleaming Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, even though tickets ran as low as $44.
The standard rule in politics is to hire a hall that's not big enough for the crowd you expect. This was no problem for the Obama campaign in 2008, when it filled venues as large as Invesco Field in Denver and Grant Park in Chicago.
The comparative crowd sizes Monday night suggest that, as in the 2010 elections, the balance of enthusiasm has shifted to the other side.
There were two clear winners in the Republican debate. I have argued that there is no frontrunner for the Republican nomination, but Mitt Romney certainly looked like one. His clear vulnerability is his Massachusetts health care program, with its Obamacare-like mandate to buy health insurance.
But no one called him on it. Tim Pawlenty, who had criticized "Obamneycare" on "Fox News Sunday," seemed to take that back at St. Anselm's. Romney responded by saying that if Obama had asked his advice, he would have said that Obamacare wouldn't work.
In doing so, he showed the sense of command that is one quality Americans usually seek in a president. And he continually brandished his businessman's credentials by attacking Obama's economic policies as disastrous.
The other clear winner was Michele Bachmann, who took the occasion to announce her candidacy and who was clearly well prepared for likely questions.
She batted back CNN moderator John King's suggestion that she was irresponsible in opposing an increase in the federal debt limit by quoting another statement opposing it — by then-Sen. Barack Obama. She declined King's invitation to pick a fight with those who favor abortion in cases of rape and incest. She cited her opposition to the $700 billion TARP legislation in 2008 by saying that principle comes before party.
And she made sure to mention that she had worked as a tax attorney, raised five biological children and provided a home for 23 foster children.
Pawlenty and Bachmann, both from Minnesota and occasional antagonists in politics there, seem headed for a confrontation in the Republican straw poll to be held in Ames, Iowa, on Aug. 13. That's a contest that puts a premium on enthusiasm — you have to get people to drive up to four hours on a Saturday morning.
Both have an obvious appeal to religious conservatives who have been the dominant force in Iowa Republican contests. Pawlenty has had a head start in organizing, and as a two-term governor has seemed to have a stronger claim to be a serious candidate. But the two came out of the debate seeming more evenly matched than he surely hoped.
Romney is not competing in Iowa as he did in 2008, when he won the straw poll but then saw second-place finisher Mike Huckabee beat him in the January precinct caucuses. Newt Gingrich is evidently not competing in the straw poll, either.
All of which makes it likely that there will be a real traffic jam in New Hampshire. Gingrich, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum have to do well there to remain viable. Jon Huntsman, former governor of Utah and Obama's ambassador to China, says he will announce next week and will concentrate on New Hampshire and Florida.
And the field may expand further. Rick Perry, governor of Texas, the state that has been America's leading job-producer over the last decade, showed no interest in running until last month. But now he's giving speeches in California and New York, and may be ready to saddle up. And Rudy Giuliani, whose 2008 campaign fizzled out, is eyeing New Hampshire, as well.
Then there is House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, whose name was mentioned favorably 10 times in the debate. Only two things that seem certain about the Republican race. Ron Paul will soldier on, bashing the Federal Reserve, to the end. And that the energy and enthusiasm on display Monday night will produce some twists and turns no one will predict.

How will Arsene Wenger piece this altogether?
by Hamish Mackay share
7/7/2012 | 10:45am
Presuming that they fend off the advances of the clubs courting their captain, Arsenal could have three in-form strikers at their club for the first time since 2006. The Dutch was quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: "I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract," however such news does not necessarily mean he will leave the club with Wenger having said he will hold van Persie to his contract. In his blog for Eurosport, Wenger said: "We want to keep Robin van Persie at all costs, because we depend on him offensively. I've always supported him even in the hardest times, and I hope he will end his career at Arsenal."
Were this to be the case then Arsenal will be facing a selection headache the likes of which haven't been much of a problem at Arsenal for quite some time. For Arsene Wenger, as well as the fans, it would be a welcome conundrum. Upon signing both Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, Wenger explained that any additions made to the Arsenal squad were there to supplement, not replace existing members.
Just how the Frenchman expects to make these three strikers compliment each other remains to be seen. Both Robin van Persie and Olivier Giroud prefer to play down the middle, and whilst Podolski does play out on the left for Germany his best form was seen as the main striker for FC Koln.
So, what are the possible combinations available to Arsenal and will Wenger consider a change in formation?
The only possible way to incorporate all three players in to the current formation would be to play Giroud in as the number nine with Podolski on the left and van Persie to the right.
Both van Persie and Podolski played in these positions during Euro 2012, with mixed success. It would allow Giroud to play as the target man down the middle, as he did for Montpellier last season to great effect. Giroud's strength's lie in his ability to provide goals as well as score them; as Wenger said, again from his blog, "The first time I saw him, I found he had something intelligent and dangerous. I always said he could score goals and assist his partners. Our game is based on cooperation between the players in the offensive phase and he'll integrate easily. I don't like simple goalscorers, they must also add to the collective. He is good in the air, which is rare. He's quite complete and has a great room for improvement."
From what we've seen of Giroud at Montpellier, as well as statements like this from Wenger, it seems clear he is not capable of playing anything other than as a main striker, that's not to say he can't have a partner, but that he cannot play out wide. However, to deprive a striker such as van Persie's of being the focal point of a team seems a waste of such an influential player.
The second option would be to have Giroud as a reserve striker for van Persie with the 29 year old playing as he did last year.
Should Arsenal hold him to the last year of his contract you would imagine that this scenario would be the most likely. Podolski could still play on the left and with van Persie as first choice it would give Giroud time to adapt to a new club and a new league.
He may well be capable of dealing with pressure, but to thrust a player who was, two years ago, playing in the French second tier into the role of the main goal threat for a Champions League team appears to be a tall order.
The other alternative would be to switch to playing two strikers. In five years of playing 4-3-3 Arsenal have not won a single trophy and it is feasible that Wenger could be tempted to change to a different formation. Any of the three combinations of strikers would compliment each other well yet many of Arsenal's other players would become far less effective. What, for example, would become of players such as Theo Walcott or Gervinho who can neither play as main strikers or wide men in a 4-4-2?
Perhaps, though, to speculate as to the possible combinations of these players is to miss the point. Every successful team has strength in depth and that is something that has been missing at Arsenal for quite some time. Who says all of these strikers will be playing well all at the same time, or that they will all be fit? Robin van Persie lead a charmed life last season considering his injury problems, to expect the same for a second year running would be naïve.

A: I have took that input of yours and assembled it using a dict. You write that in a csv.
file_name = open('log.txt','rb')
name_list = []
name_dict = {}
for line in file_name:
    line = line.split()
    for i in range(len(line)):
        if line[i].split('=')[0] in name_dict:
            name_dict[line[i].split('=')[0]].append(line[i].split('=')[1])
        else:
            name_dict[line[i].split('=')[0]] = []
            name_dict[line[i].split('=')[0]].append(line[i].split('=')[1])
for key in name_dict.keys():
    print key, name_dict[key]

Output:
xxx ['"asdff"', '"asdff"', '"asdff"', '"asdff"']
yyy ['"qwernlk"', '"qwernlk"', '"qwernlk"', '"qwernlk"']
zzz ['"jsfhla"', '"jsfhla"', '"jsfhla"', '"jsfhla"']

Here your variables are the keys(xxxx,yyyy,zzzz) with the respective values which you have assigned for it.

1. Organizational context
One of the original objectives, in initiating this project in 1972, was to endeavour to document how the network of international bodies focused on the network of world problems. Clearly some key problems attract much attention and many others attract very little, if any. But of greater interest is whether the organizations focusing on the same problem are in communication with each other, or whether the organizations dealing with one problem that closely affects another are in contact with the bodies dealing with the latter problem. How do problems escape the net of organizations? How does the network of organizations fail to encompass and contain the network of problems? What kinds of information would then be required to enhance transnational initiatives?
In addition to the major role that international organizations perform in identifying problems, many of them perform an important function in relation to human values. In fact the two functions are often intimately linked, as in the case of human rights issues. A significant group of organizations is also concerned with human development in its less material sense, as is the case of bodies concerned with religion and personal development. Again the question may be asked with which of the specific values is an organization associated, given that many of them carefully identify values in their statutes? Clearly there are very "popular" values, such as peace and justice, but are there values with which few, if any, bodies are associated? And to what extent are such values vital to the functioning of society? Is there also a mismatch between the network of organizations and the network of values?
2. Core concerns
(a) Clarification of "fuzzy" domains: The core concerns of the international community, whether problems, values or human development, remain conceptually "fuzzy". They are a continuing challenge to both scholars and practitioners. It is from this fuzziness that dilemmas, contradictions and paradoxes emerge. In considering the role of integrative approaches, and even the power of metaphor, in responding to this "fuzziness", it is apparent that here too there is considerable ambiguity and confusion. For this reason, despite the vital importance of these concerns, they are especially difficult to handle within information systems. Few information systems attempt to do so, preferring to deal with harder data. Experimenting with computer-based procedures to do so therefore constitutes a valid preoccupation.
(b) Recognition of "vectors of concern": The many international constituencies tend to disparage each others concerns, if they recognize the existence of concerns other than their own. Mapping the "vectors of concern" in relationship to one another provides a means of defining the nature and dimensions of the communication space within which the dynamics of the international community operate. Recognizing such vectors determines with what concerns constituencies identify, thus clarifying what moves them to act as well as the nature of the social reality within which they perceive themselves as functioning.
(c) Bridging between incommensurable domains: A major underlying concern is to create a framework within which it is possible to register links between specific world problems, human values and modes of human development. The intimate relationships between these domains call for more effective ways of processing information on them as a complex system.
(d) Anchoring transient insights: Insightful perceptions of subtle challenges and opportunities, of potentially major significance, appear in the literature. Because of their nature, and the categories and perspectives that they call into question, there are few places at which this kind of information can be collected. A suitable context is required to hold and "anchor" that information in relation to more conventional perspectives.
(e) Transformation enablement: There is a need for information in a form which enables social transformation in the light of more appropriate values. This suggests as a valid objective the extension of information system design to incorporate the fuzzy conceptual dimensions which catalyze and motivate such transformation.
3. Objectives
The objective of the project through which this Encyclopedia is produced is threefold and may be described as follows:
(a) Collection and presentation of information
At this level the intention is to demonstrate the feasibility and value of assembling information reflecting the perspectives of a very wide range of international constituencies. In contrast to normal practice, this information should not be filtered by some particular criteria of "truth" or "importance". Every effort should be made to present it in terms of what is held to be true by the constituencies from which it originates, even if the information totally contradicts that from some other international constituency. It is a basic assumption of this project that it is the dynamics inherent in the interaction of such conflicting biases which reflect the reality of global society, as much as the fundamental insights emerging from any particular analysis of the global system in the light of criteria carefully selected by leading experts.
In organizing the information into the sections in this Encyclopedia, the intention has been to group material into classes corresponding to the terms conventionally used to describe and order any response to the global problematique and the possibilities of human development. Each of these tends in some way to be of fundamental concern to any international constituency, whatever the differences about the appropriate content of such classes.
In designing a framework "hospitable" to such a wide range of perspectives, whether mutually indifferent or inherently incompatible, a secondary objective has been to seek ways to juxtapose such perspectives in order to highlight the variety of relationships between them. The framework therefore contains the variety of incompatible perspectives by fragmenting the information into a very large number of descriptive entries. This deliberate disorganization is counter-balanced by a very extensive network of cross-references between such entries. When appropriate information has been obtained from appropriate sources, some form of counterargument is included in many entries, illustrating the limited or misleading nature of the perspective presented.
Metaphor: star mapping This objective can be usefully described in terms of the metaphor of an astronomical telescope. Whereas a limited number of astronomical objects are visible to the naked eye, their visibility from Earth is determined both by their intrinsic brightness and by their distance from the observer. The major problems cited by any international constituency are equivalent to the brightest of those objects. Others may be barely visible to them. By the use of a telescope the number of visible astronomical objects, whether stars or galaxies, increases enormously, depending on the resolving power of the telescope. The brightness of some of them, to an observer located elsewhere, may be very much greater than those visible from Earth. So for some other international constituency, a different, but possibly overlapping, set of problems appears to be of major importance. The challenge of this project is conceived as one of designing a telescope of sufficient resolving power to collect information from distant sources on the phenomena which are highly visible to them. This is achieved by using the whole array of international bodies as collectors, thus constituting (as with a radio telescope with a long base line) a much more powerful telescope than that based on dependence upon any one of them or upon any small group of them. As with recent discoveries concerning the dangers of exposure to low-level radiation, this may also help to demonstrate that long-term exposure to less visible problems can be as dangerous as short-term exposure to the more visible problems.
It is hoped that the collection and presentation of information in this reference book form will meet the information needs of many users.
(b) Clarification of conceptual challenge
At this level the intention is to clarify the challenge of interrelating perceived patterns of information with which people and constituencies can identify and by which they are empowered. In one sense this project is an endeavour to document the perceptions active in global society. For the resulting quantity of information to begin to become meaningful as a whole, this calls for new approaches to communication, with an emphasis on patterns of concepts. The perceptions documented are those with which different people identify and by which they are motivated. For such motivations to reinforce each other to achieve the required political will to change, greater understanding is required of how patterns of concepts may be nested together without doing violence to the particular perceptions with which people identify. For such social change to be fruitful, there is the even more challenging requirement of ensuring a comprehensible relationship between mutually incompatible patterns of concern that can correct each others' inadequacies and excesses.
Metaphor: electricity generation This second objective can to some extent be described in terms of the metaphor of electricity generation. The electrical current produced by some form of generator depends upon the degree to which opposite charges can be simultaneously generated within the same framework and conducted together (but insulated from each other) to the point where the difference between the charges can be used to do work. This project endeavours to accumulate and juxtapose within the same framework both extremely negatively charged information on world problems, and extremely positively charged information on human potential in various forms (values, subtler states of awareness, etc), rather as in the design of a battery. The hypothesis is that it is through an appropriate juxtaposition of the "bad news" and the "good news" that the generation of the will to change is effectively generated. This is in strong contrast to many other initiatives which endeavour to focus only on positive initiatives (solutions, values, etc), only on negative doom-mongering, or on a mixture from which the opposing charges cannot be effectively separated so as to empower people to act. In the light of this metaphor the latter efforts are as likely to succeed as attempts to design monopolar batteries or an electrical circuit with a single wire. When they do succeed in mobilizing people, their subsequent failures could be usefully compared to the dangerous discharges resulting from the generation of static electricity.
It is hoped that the information presented here will stimulate some users to contribute further to the clarification of this challenge.
(c) Enablement of paradigm alternation
At this level the intention is to explore indications of ways of moving beyond the sterile relationships between the existing paradigms within which the perceptions documented in this Encyclopedia are generated. For although the strengths and weaknesses of such paradigms continue to be demonstrated in many studies, the purpose of such studies tends to be that of proving the merits of some existing or alternative paradigm. The challenge then is to explore ways of moving beyond prevailing conceptual fragmentation whilst avoiding the opposite danger of simplistic holism under the guise of sterile relativism. The challenge is made more dramatic by the irresponsibility of experts. Whilst these may be qualified to justify some particular position, they are totally unable to offer any guidance to voters and decision-makers as to the manner by which their position can be reconciled with some totally contradictory position justified on other grounds.
In an isolated local context, or a simpler world, this difficulty may be avoided by establishing certain perceptions as true and others as false, misleading or totally irrelevant. Some people are then empowered by the acceptance of such a coherent pattern of truths and the challenge of articulating them. Others are empowered by the process of denying the corresponding falsehoods.
In the more complex modern world of interacting contexts, decision-makers are forced to recognize pragmatically that contradictory positions may both be true, possibly under different conditions, even though there is no coherent framework within which they may be reconciled. Some are even empowered by the opportunity this provides to "divide and rule" by "playing one side against the other". But there is also the recognition by others that neither position need be true, and they are then empowered by the process of rejecting the system constituted by both together.
Metaphor: fusion reactor This third objective can also be described in terms of the metaphor of the current technological challenge of designing a suitable magnetic container for plasma to enable nuclear fusion to take place. In order to generate energy in a fusion reactor, the problem is to discover the particular configuration of magnetic fields, values of plasma parameters, and means of protecting the plasma from contact with any material surface which would quench it. This can be achieved by "bouncing" the plasma around within the configuration of a magnetic cavity (or "bottle"). As in the case of plasma, any comprehensive understanding of the human condition (encompassing both the global problematic and the associated opportunities for human development) is "quenched" by any efforts to contain it within a particular conceptual framework. And as with plasma, transcending this difficulty seems to require the design of a container which ensures that such understanding can only emerge, exist and develop if it is continually "bounced" or alternated between an appropriate configuration of different conceptual perspectives. Although there are indications as to the possible design of such a container, the multi-perspective containers that have so far been designed reflect the lowest common denominator of the participating perspectives, rather than the highest common insight by which appropriate action in response to the global problematic could be empowered.
As this metaphor illustrates, this project is in many ways about the adequacy of the language used amongst international constituencies. To what extent are the challenges of society and the possibility of innovative response determined by the distinctions and connections permitted or forbidden by the language of the international community (and its various jargons)? Can the many distinct problems, values and strategies engendered by that language be meaningfully distinguished? Is it in some way fundamentally inadequate as a means of formulating distinctions and relationships that are required to respond appropriately to the global problematic?
It is hoped that this Encyclopedia may to some degree be used to explore the nature of the art of alternating between paradigms, languages or viewpoints as a way of enabling individuals and societies to be appropriately empowered in response to the conditions of the moment. The challenge appears to be to discover a comprehensible conceptual dynamic of sufficient complexity to permit an appropriate conscious alternation between the different combinations of acceptance and denial. This has been admirably illustrated in drawings by the artist Escher, especially as analyzed by Douglas Hofstadter in Gödel, Escher, Bach. As in the relationship between male and female, or between parent and child, it is the collective equivalent of the art of saying "yes" or "no" under changing conditions. This is at its most frustrating and enchanting as it explores the excluded middle ground forbidden by the boundaries of Aristotelian logic, however vital the latter may be in particular circumstances.

HARRISON, STERLING - ONE SIZE FITS ALL
Label: EVERLAND
Catalog no.: EVERLAN0000033
On the edge of the lightfooted disco movement there was sophisticated funk music and one of the often overlooked protagonists oft he scene was Mr. Sterling Harrison, born in 1941, passed in 2005. His legacy contains two solo albums from the early '80s and this, dear friends of funk music, is his second from 1981. Copies in good shape fetch prices up to 800 dollars so we should give this current reissue on Everland warm welcomes. Is it all worth the enthusiasm? Oh, you can bet it is. Sterling Harrison had left behind the '70s and was ready for the '80s. The sound is up to date, clear, clean and powerful. The music still shows the fire of the earlier funk records but the synthesizer passages, the whole production proves that we are now entering a new age. '80s synthie pop is part of the mix, despite the main ingredients are soul, funk and a bit of disco here and there. The vocals are overwhelming, sung with great emotions and a feeling for the freaky edge of soul. The tunes here come as diverse as they can be, each one with his very own face, but they all have the same spirit courtesy of Sterling Harrison. Originally released in 1980 on Phono.
Also available: ONE SIZE FITS ALL (LP).

Q: Neo4j group nodes with property In Neo4j, I want to create a query that returns nodes grouped on common property without altering my graph.
For example, if I have the following graph where each person has a property corresponding to his department in the company:

I want my query to return a graph like the following, where the nodes are replaced by the property and where the weight of the edges corresponds to the number of relations:

Do you have any idea how to proceed? I looked at APOC nodes collapse without success.
Thank you

A: It is possible using, Cypher as well. I created your graph using the following Cypher query, locally:
MERGE (p:Person{name: 'Alex', department: 'HR'})
MERGE (p1:Person{name: 'John', department: 'HR'})
MERGE (p2:Person{name: 'Kate', department: 'IT'})
MERGE (p3:Person{name: 'Mike', department: 'Sales'})
MERGE (p1)-[:R]->(p3)
MERGE (p1)-[:R]->(p2)
MERGE (p2)-[:R]->(p1)
MERGE (p)-[:R]->(p2)

Now, to convert it into the desired graph, you can try the following Cypher query:
MATCH (p:Person)
WITH distinct p.department AS departmentName
MERGE (d:Department{name: departmentName}) <-- First create all the distinct department nodes
WITH COLLECT(departmentName) AS departments
UNWIND departments AS departmentName
MATCH (p:Person{department:departmentName})
OPTIONAL MATCH (p)<-[:R]-(p1:Person)
WITH departmentName, p1 WHERE p1 IS NOT NULL
WITH departmentName, p1.department AS sourceDepartment, count(distinct p1) AS relCount <-- For each department find out the number of distinct incoming relations, with respect to each department
MATCH (d1:Department{name: departmentName})
MATCH (d2:Department{name: sourceDepartment})
MERGE (d1)<-[:R{count: relCount}]-(d2) <-- Create the relationships between department and store the count in the relationship

To check the department nodes, and verify them, run this:
MATCH (n:Department) RETURN n

In the end, if required you can delete all the Person nodes, like this:
MATCH (n:Person) DETACH DELETE n

A: If you want to "return nodes without altering the graph", the way to go is through so-called virtual nodes and relationships. These are nodes/rels that quack like real ones, but only exist in memory.
any other mechanism (including the collapse), alters the graph.
More on virtual node / rels can be found here : https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/4.4/virtual/
The above approach can be used with pure Neo4j tools.  There are other vizualisation layers (like Graphileon : disclosure I work for them) that offer even more possibilities if you need more advanced interaction.

A: This is the way to return the subgraph using apoc.nodes.collapse.
MATCH (p:Person)-[:R]->(c:Person)
WITH c, collect(p) as subgraph
CALL apoc.nodes.collapse(subgraph,{properties:'combine', countMerge:false})
YIELD from, rel, to WHERE to is not null
RETURN from, rel, to

Result:

Creating the nodes WITH relationship weights can be done this way. Unfortunately, apoc.nodes.collapse is not returning relationship weights that you described. But apoc.collapse can count the number of nodes that are merged using countMerge:true.
MATCH (p:Person)-[:R]->(c:Person)
WITH c, collect(p) as subgraph, count(distinct p) AS relweight
WITH c.department as relto, [s in subgraph|s.department][0] as relfrom, relweight
MERGE (d1:Department {name: relfrom})
MERGE (d2:Department {name: relto})
MERGE (d1)-[r:newR{wt: relweight}]->(d2)
RETURN d1, d2, r

Result:


Universal side mount application. Measures 1-1/2" wide x 6" long x 1" thick. Dual circuit allows use as turn signals and running lights. Works great on Harley-Davidson and Metric Cruiser custom applications. Includes amber lenses.

Most of us seem to like being afraid, as long as it's a controlled situation. We like it as long as there's no actual danger, and it's more of an adrenaline rush than actual terror. Horror movies a great way to get that experience. But strangely, even though so many people love them, horror movies don't usually get very good reviews. In this article we're going to focus specifically on psychological horror movies, and do a quick run-down of their history.
George Méliès, a pioneer in cinema, made the first horror movie of all time: Le manoir du diable (1896). Ever since then, there have been countless others following in his footsteps.
This German film was the peak of German Expressionism. A lot of people see it as the first full-length horror movie, and nowadays it's considered a cult classic. The movie is based on a few true murder cases that happened in Hamburg.
In the story, the murders are committed by an odd character and his strange slave. The movie's expressionist scenes and set decorations are definitely also worth special attention. Along similar lines, Germany gave us another horror classic in 1931: M, directed by Fritz Lang.
This movie takes place at a freak show. At the beginning of the 20th century, people with deformities were shown off as attractions. The plot is about revenge and murder, and what's really interesting about this movie is that they cast actors who really had the deformities.
During this time period, people had an extreme fascination with monsters. Directors adapted books like Frankenstein (1931) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), and cast actors like Bela Lugosi as Dracula.
This was a time full of change. In the 60's, psychological horror and black-and-white were big. But the 70's marked a major turning point in the history of horror movies.
The 60's gave us movies like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) and The Birds (1963). Of course we can't talk about horror movies without mentioning the master Alfred Hitchcock and his movie, Psycho.
This movie was directed by Roman Polanski, and starred a young Mia Farrow. It's a great example of how important it is for these movies to sink us into an atmosphere of agony and anguish. Here, it shows up every time we see Rosemary and her strange neighbors.
The movie was completely groundbreaking for its time, and they shot it in The Dakota, the building where John Lennon was murdered. On top of that, Charles Manson and his "family" tried to stop the filming not long before Polanski's wife was murdered. It's an endlessly mysterious movie that will leave just about anyone speechless.
The extremely basic special effects, the green vomit, and Regan's scars make this movie a pioneer for its time.If you watch it for the first time now it'll probably seem more funny than it scary. But it really made a major impact on horror movies in general: it's a classic that totally reinvented the genre.
During the 70's and 80's many movies mixed science fiction with horror. That's how we ended up with amazing movies like Alien (1979). This is also when the frenzy for adapting Stephen King books really started. There was Carrie (1976) and, of course, The Shining.
Who can forget the legendary Overlook hotel, the winding road, or Jack Torrance's ravings? There's no doubt this is one of the best movies of all time, thanks to the work of the genius Stanley Kubrick.
This is when the overuse of special effects really started to kill the magic of horror movies. There were hundreds of movies about paranormal things, and some even had multiple sequels. But most of them weren't that great, and didn't get very good reviews.
This time period also gave us Japanese movies, like The Ring (2002), and also a lot of gore, like Saw (2004), along with a long list of movies featuring possessed children and ghosts. But there are still some from this era that went more for psychology and suspense.
This is another adaptation of Stephen King book. It earned Kathy Bates an Oscar for best actress for her claustrophobic, obsessive, and tension-filled starring role. Annie Wilkes is a nurse who's completely captivated by the books of a famous writer, Paul Sheldon. She gets obsessed and ends up kidnapping him. This is one horror movie you should definitely put on your list, and you'll get a glimpse of Kathy Bates at her disturbing best.
All that fascination with Stephen King stuck around, and lead to great movies like1408 (2007). It's an underrated movie, and it goes back to the kind of psychological horror we've talked about here.
It's hypnotic and claustrophobic, probably deserving a little more attention than it's gotten. It seems like King still hasn't even gone out of style, either. There was another adaptation of It last year, although some say Tim Curry's from 1990 much better.
Hannibal Lecter is an unforgettable character. He's a highly intelligent psychopath capable of manipulating just about anyone. Anthony Hopkins plays him really well, and Jodie Foster plays her character very well too, so it's no surprise they both won an Oscar. It's a must-see thriller and a glimpse into the mind of serial killers and cannibalism.
From the Spanish director, Alejandro Amenábar, Nicole Kidman stars in this suspenseful 21st century gem. Very odd things happen in an old, mysterious, isolated, and fog-covered mansion. It sounds like just any other paranormal movie, but that's not the case with The Others.
All the fear is implied, and the light levels are really low because the children in the movie are sensitive to it. What that gives us is a dark, gloomy atmosphere where nothing is what it seems.
Next, we have movies like The Conjuring (2013), Insidious (2010), The Babadook (2014), and the Paranormal Activity series. They're the biggest horror movies of recent years, and almost all of them had sequels and huge box office success.
Some of them are pretty interesting, but mostly they just go overboard with make-up, effects, and easy scares. They're movies that go for public attention instead of good reviews. In the end, it's really just a forced kind of horror that gets old after a while.
Here are two recent movies that are more along the lines of suspense than horror, but I've chosen them because the psychological ideas they deal with are still much more terrifying than demonic possession.
Natalie Portman's acting really stands out here. It's a ballet movie about eating disorders, schizophrenia, and hallucination. It'll definitely leave you thinking thanks to its fascinating atmosphere, full of metaphors and all kinds of interpretations.
This movie is by one of the greatest directors of the 20th and 21st centuries, Martin Scorsese. It also has the amazing Leonardo DiCaprioas lead actor, and Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo in supporting roles.
Set in the 1950's, it's similar to the film noir style from the early 20th century. It's set on an island where we find a mental institution. There they flood us with the terror of the human mind, and evil practices like lobotomies. What really is Shutter Island? What's really going on at the mental hospital? It's one of the absolute best recent suspense movies.

What's Next for Frac'ing in the UK?
Activists, economics, possible Russian interference, impede development
July 2017 Barry Friedman, Explorer Correspondent
As AAPG's International Conference and Exhibition heads to London this fall, it will coincide with an anniversary of sorts.
Almost a year ago to the day, back in October of 2016, the British government overturned a decision by local planners in Lancashire, a city 200 miles northeast of London, to allow Cuadrilla, a privately-owned British exploration company, to once again conduct hydraulic fracturing operations in the region. This follows a decision earlier that year by the government to allow another company to frac in North Yorkshire, meaning, for the first time in five years, there would be frac'ing on both sides of the Pennines, a range of mountains that separate northwest and northeast England.
To understand why there was a prohibition in the first place against frac'ing in Lancashire, you have to go back to 2011, when Cuadrilla had to case a well drilled at its Preese Hall site, due to an earthquake, for which the company didn't deny being "probably responsible," according to a company statement at the time.
After Preese Hall, frac'ing throughout the UK became even more contentious and regulated than it had been, which is saying something (more on that to follow), so this approval, along with four other sites approved by last year, seemed to indicate the government was now firmly behind shale/gas exploration, which, some experts believe, could conceivably release 1,300 trillion cubic feet of gas.
(Cuadrilla officials say there may be 200 trillion cubic feet in Lancashire alone.)
"Without drilling several wells and putting them through long production tests, no one knows, but given the time and money spent by the operators, they obviously think it is a lot," said Richard Selley, emeritus professor of petroleum geology and senior research fellow at Imperial College in London.
'Violent Opposition'
From the gov.uk website page "Guidance on fracking (sic): developing shale gas in the UK":
"The government believes that shale gas has the potential to provide the UK with greater energy security, growth and jobs. We are encouraging safe and environmentally sound exploration to determine this potential. The UK has a strong regulatory regime for exploratory activities, and over 50 years of experience of regulating the onshore oil and gas industry nationally. We are bringing that experience to bear and measures are in place to ensure on-site safety, prevent environmental contamination, mitigate seismic activity and minimise greenhouse gas emissions."
Not so fast, said Selley.

He is happy, but not particularly sanguine, because that was written in 2013.
"Even if all opposition to hydraulic fracturing for shale gas and oil was to be suddenly lifted, there is no way that there will be a big impact on UK energy production for many years. There are not the drilling rigs, hydraulic fracturing units or personnel in the country," he said.
Selley, who has published more than 70 papers and has consulted on projects in Australia, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, as well as America, said, "There is still violent opposition to frac'ing shale gas and oil" in the UK.
Worse, he believes, this sentiment never ends, even in the presence of scientific evidence.
"As objections are shown to be unimportant, one by one, new objections are thought up," he said, concluding there are risks to hydraulic fracturing — fatuous ones.
The inanity, he said of the objections, is stultifying.
"These are becoming increasingly risible and reached a new high on October 10, 2015, when the environmental group 'Friends of the Earth' declared that hydraulic fracturing should be banned because it uses sand, which is a carcinogen," Selly explained.
So, he wonders, why don't they just issue warnings: "Do not take your kiddies to the seaside!"
The other reason for his skepticism, he said, has to do with economic factors already in play.
"As North Seas gas production declines, more shale gas had to be imported—from the US—which, he said, double negative effect on of loss of revenue and on the UK's balance of payments— issues beyond the concern of local protestors."
Speaking more specifically about the opposition to frac'ing in the UK — what's driving it — Selley, who has received a Certificate of Merit from AAPG, as well as a Coke Medal from the Geological Society of London, said it is coming from an unlikely source, but not an unthinkable one.
"Reliable sources in NATO and personal anecdotes have evidence that the Europe-wide opposition to frac'ing is driven by Russia, especially Russia TV," he said.
It sounds crazy — he knows it does — but added, "Last year these reports might not have been believed, but after allegations of Russian 'dirty tricks' in the U.S. Presidential election, this is now more credible."
And, it's worth noting that Russia holds a longstanding monopoly on Europe's natural gas supply.
Dunning-Kruger Effect?
At the moment, and irrespective of the Russian involvement (if it exists), Selley would consider it a victory if those who didn't know what they were talking about when it came to frac'ing and its dangers listened to those who do.
"There is prevailing lack of trust in experts, there is mistrust of the veracity of reports evaluating the risks and rewards of hydraulic fracturing for shale gas and oil," he said, adding that even reports by independent academics — because these same academics also, at times, work as consultants and are being seen as biased and contaminated.
"It is argued that academics, or 'Fracademics,' as we are termed, can only know anything about the topic because we work as consultants and/or have research grants funded by the industry. Therefore we cannot be seen as independent. 'Fracademics' must have a conflict of interest," said Selley. "Following this argument to its logical conclusion, the government should commission reports on the technical issues of hydraulic fracturing to geologists with expertise in dinosaur locomotion and engineers studying the tilt of the leaning tower of Pisa."
Work to Be Done
When it comes to the future of frac'ing in the UK, he sees it in somewhat of a unique position, especially as how it relates to Europe.
"In France, shale gas/oil resources have never been tested because they banned frac'ing from day one," he said, adding that the opposition might be because the country runs on nuclear power.
"Ditto for the Netherlands and Germany with strong green lobbies. Germany is now importing coal from the U.S. and re-opening opencast lignite (really dirty brown coal) mines generating the press headline 'Germany turns from green to black'!" he added.
It seems the UK, more than the rest of Europe, needs shale to be a robust part of the equation. There are some promising developments.
"In the Weald basin of southern England, there is excitement over possible production of shale oil. Wells drilled for conventional Upper Jurassic sand reservoirs have yielded significant flows of oil from naturally fractured limestones thinly interbedded with Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge clay source rock," said Selley.
There's hope, there's work to be done, and there's this:
"I have been a cheerleader for UK shale gas since I identified the UK's resources 30 years ago."
Richard Selley, emeritus professor of petroleum geology and senior research fellow at Imperial College, will present "United Kingdom Shale Gas (& Oil) Exploration From 1875 to Now" during the AAPG-SEG International Conference and Exhibition (ICE), which will be held Oct. 15-18 in London.

2018 marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up policy.
2018 marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up policy. In his 2018 New Year's message, Chinese President Xi Jinping said policy was the only way for modern China to make progress in its development and pledged the nation would overcome all difficulties and carry reform through to the end. The policy has profoundly influenced the fate of the Chinese people, sustaining rapid economic growth unprecedented in human history. From "feeling for rocks while crossing the river" through to the establishment of the modern economic system, China's reform and opening-up has reached a broad consensus. Now China has entered a "deep water zone" and is faced with more challenges than ever before. NewsChina has secured interviews with seven participants and witnesses of China's reform and opening-up, including renowned economists and entrepreneurs, to give an inside account of the great social and economic transformation.

Markets were rattled this week after news broke that Canada expected President Trump to pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The deal, which has been in place since 1994, lowered trade barriers between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and has boosted U.S. exporters and made goods cheaper for consumers. However, these benefits came at the cost of increased competition for domestic American industries, especially manufacturing.
This has lead President Trump to make retooling NAFTA a cornerstone of his trade policy, which he reiterated again this week. These fears knocked the Canadian dollar sharply lower on Wednesday, falling near 79.5 cents per U.S. dollar.
Meanwhile, lumber futures rose to an all-time-high. The United States is heavily dependent on lumber imports from Canada, and a new NAFTA deal could raise tariffs, and thereby lumber prices.
If the deal is renegotiated, the U.S. agricultural sector potentially has more to lose than any other group, as exports to Canada and Mexico have become a major foundation of the agricultural economy. However, President Trump pledged to support farmers and score "even more victories for the American farmer and the American rancher," in new negotiations, which has kept agricultural markets soothed for the time being.
Gold and platinum exploded to a four-month high on Friday, topping $1,330 and $1,000 an ounce, respectively. Prices have risen for five consecutive weeks as buyers flow back into the markets. This move has also buoyed palladium and silver, making this a stunning week for precious metal investors.
A major factor in this bull market has been a weakening U.S. dollar, which makes hard asset investments more attractive.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a slew of data about the corn, wheat and soybean markets. Ultimately, the reports projected larger corn and wheat supplies than expected and generally showed lower demand for the grain markets than most analysts had been anticipating.
The reports were largely disappointing to the markets, knocking corn prices to a new contract low at $3.46 per bushel. Worse yet, wheat prices in Chicago and Kansas City plunged, touching a three-week low on fears that farmers sharply increased wheat acreage when they planted this past fall.
However, soybeans rose on Friday for the first time this week on reports of a smaller soybean harvest last year and tighter supplies, trading midday near $9.53 per bushel.

RBS, in tandem with its subsidiary NatWest, said that it would allocate an extra £250m to each of the 12 Regional Development Agency areas. The money, which will be distributed at local level by people who 'understand the local dynamic', apparently, will allow businesses to raise cash against existing assets and take out 'flexible business loans' – possibly allowing for repayment holidays if they run into cashflow difficulties. What's more, the bank is also promising to offer cheaper loans from the £250m pot it's just secured from the European Investment Bank.
Predictably, this RBS move has prompted calls – not least from Business Secretary Lord Mandelson – for the other UK banks to follow suit. And now the Government has relaxed its ridiculous demand that they boost lending and boost their capital cushion at the same time (which genius dreamed that one up?), this is by no means impossible. But to be fair, they're still in a difficult situation: as NatWest chairman Peter Ibbetsen points out, most business propositions are inherently a lot more risky than they were a year ago, given the current climate – so even if the bank's risk parameters stay exactly the same, overall lending is bound to go down.
Now you might argue that since RBS is now nearly 70% state-owned, and facing a possible £28bn loss, it's got more incentive than most to play ball with the Government's wishes. And you'd be right. Still, the important thing is that the money is now there for SMEs – while it could even prove to be a real opportunity for RBS to snap up some great new customers (not to mention get a rare PR coup) at a time when many SMEs are getting short shrift from their banks. So a positive story all round.

We've also witnessed pot stock valuations shoot through the roof. Just since the year began, the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF, which is comprised of about four dozen pot stocks of various weightings, is up 60%. Push the bar out even further, and you'd find that most marijuana stocks are up a healthy triple-digit or quadruple-digit percentage since the beginning of 2016.
According to a research note in February from Scotiabank, the black market is expected to retain control of 71% of Canada's total sales in 2019, and then see this total drop to 37% in 2020. Sure, it's a pretty large year-over-year decline, but it still represents a massive portion of sales in a legal environment being conducted under the table.
One of the biggest impediments for the legal weed industry, aside from early supply side and packaging shortages, is Canada's excise tax. This tax, which imposes a duty of 1 Canadian dollar (CA$1) per gram on dried cannabis flower and cannabis oil, or 10% of the sale price of a product, pretty much ensures that legal weed is more expensive than black-market marijuana. Even though a 10% excise tax pales in comparison to the aggregate tax of up to 45% that some California consumers might be paying, it should be kept in mind that illicit producers aren't paying for (or waiting for) cultivation licenses or sales permits, and they aren't paying local, state, or federal income or excise taxes. This is what's allowed illegally produced marijuana to thrive in Canada and select U.S. states.
However, a big change could be on the way, according to the 2019 budget from Canada's federal government.
With Health Canada somewhat recently announcing that edibles, topicals, and cannabis-infused beverages would be legalized no later than the one-year anniversary of the commencement of adult-use sales (Oct. 17), Canada's 2019 budget recommended the following adjustment on the rules for cannabis taxation.
Furthermore, even though the budget doesn't get rid of the excise tax on medical marijuana, it would certainly be a boon for quite a few medical cannabis patients, who are far more willing to purchase alternatives with low THC content than recreational weed users. Additionally, Canadian medical patients with above-average medical or disability-related expenses may be eligible for a 15% tax credit, with the amount paid for cannabis products factoring into this credit.
In many ways, this lower tax rate will be a boon for alternative consumption options, and it may even encourage a broader audience of recreational users to give them a try. But it's not great news for every cannabis company out there.
For example, Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) has been, and is likely to remain, heavily focused on medical marijuana patients. In Tilray's recently released fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report, the company notes that 49% of aggregate sales were in extracts (i.e., oils) in 2018. Starting in May, this higher portion of sales devoted to extracts will potentially face a lower excise tax, making them more attractive relative to illicit cannabis products.
Tilray's CA$419 million purchase of hemp food company Manitoba Harvest is also now an added bonus, since the THC content in hemp is very low, while CBD content tends to be high. Any company that's moved into hemp production or processing, such as Emerald Health Therapeutics and Canopy Growth, is bound to like this revision.
On the other hand, marijuana stocks that focus on premium flower products and high-THC content oils aren't going to be big fans of this change. As an example, small-cap Flowr Corp. (NASDAQOTH: FLWPF) is using genetics to create an ultra-premium cannabis product. No publicly traded pot grower is expected to generate higher yields per square foot than Flowr. But the downside here is that Flowr's premium THC alternative products could face a higher excise tax. Although this is a product targeted at a more affluent clientele to begin with, premium product providers aren't likely going to favor this excise tax adjustment.

Binge Watch This
1. "House"
A show about a doctor with a painkiller addiction, no filter and no respect for authority sounds like a train wreck worthy of watching already, but when you consider that he is also a mentor at a teaching hospital, it is impossible to look away. Hugh Laurie stars as the cranky Dr. Gregory House, whose hospital antics almost outweigh his genius in diagnosing the craziest of medical mysteries. Along with a team of medical experts, House takes on the medical cases other doctors cannot solve, but he does so while attempting to avoid the patients. "House M.D." had eight seasons with 177 episodes spanning a little more than eight years. Though it ended in 2012, the zingers and shenanigans of Dr. House have not aged. – By Wes Terrell
2. "Grey's Anatomy"
This series begins as Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, starts her internship at Seattle Grace Hospital, following in the footsteps of her mother, Dr. Ellis Grey, a legendary surgeon. Meredith and her fellow interns face obstacles, both in their lives and on the surgical table, unlike anything viewers could imagine. "Grey's Anatomy" is the perfect combination of love, lust and blood. The series is currently on its eleventh season with 60 awards, including People's Choice Awards, Golden Globes Awards and GLAAD Media Awards. The show also had one spin-off series called "Private Practice." Every episode will leave the viewer wanting more. No amount of "Grey's" is too much. – By Rebecca Reno
3. "Scrubs"
"Scrubs" is not your typical medical TV show. This quirky comedy follows the lives of Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, played by Zach Braff, and his colleagues at Sacred Heart Hospital as they struggle to balance work, relationships and adulthood. J.D. starts off as a clueless intern, but by the end of the series, he is a full-fledged attending physician. His best friend Turk, played by Donald Faison, is a surgeon who helps J.D. stay young at heart. "Scrubs" kept audiences laughing from 2001 to 2010 with J.D.'s ridiculous daydreams, a crazy janitor, a self-conscious lawyer, an evil chief of medicine and endless antics. Every now and then, the show surprised viewers by poignantly addressing issues such as parenthood, guilt and death. The ninth season of "Scrubs" kept only three of the show's original characters and was both loved and hated. Returning cast members were as good as ever, but new characters and an uninteresting plot made the season fall short. In my opinion, it's best to end this series at season eight. – By Megan Smith
