The Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) ruled Saturday to uphold the verdict of the High Constitutional Court (HCC) deeming the People's Assembly, formed after national polls in November 2011 unconstitutional. The assembly was dissolved on the basis of that verdict.
Although the SAC adjourned a similar case Saturday appealing the dissolution of the People Assembly, parliament's lower house, to 15 October, only hours later it ruled in a different case in favour of the HCC verdict.
The dissolution of the People's Assembly was a matter of great controversy in past months since HCC decision 14 June. The Muslim Brotherhood, forming the largest bloc of the former People's Assembly, vociferously opposed the verdict together with other Islamists, with many of their lawyers working to saving the assembly through legal appeals.
Upon his inauguration, President Mohamed Morsi, who hails from the Brotherhood's ranks, declared the People's Assembly reinstated. However, after his decision was deemed legally flawed, parliament did not resume its functions, waiting for the Administrative Court's final verdict on filed appeals.
Several Brotherhood members, including acting chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and former MP Essam El-Erian as well as secretary general of the FJP and former Parliament Speaker Mohamed Saad El-Katatni were amongst the most prominent figures confirming there was a legal possibility that the assembly would be reinstated.
Their statements were repeatedly criticised by legal experts who argued that the reinstatement of the assembly was unlikely considering that the HCC had already ruled on its unconstitutionality.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed justice minister, Ahmed Mekki, earlier criticised the HCC for issuing its verdict dissolving the elected parliament, arguing that in light of the political situation at the time it should have postponed cases related to parliament along with other politically charged cases.
The general assembly of the HCC in response condemned Mekki's statements implying their verdict was "politically motivated." In its statement, the HCC described his criticism as "unacceptable interference" in the court's work, insisting that all the court's verdicts were based on constitutional legitimacy, refuting claims they were politically biased.
The SAC in issuing its verdict Saturday also confirmed that the HCC was the body with the final say on the matter. The SAC stated that only the HCC has the authority to decide whether the People's Assembly should be dissolved or not on the basis of the constitutionality of the elections law that governed prior polling.
Earlier on Saturday Muslim Brotherhood lawyer Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud expressed his lack of hope that the dissolved People's Assembly could be reinstated after the SAC adjourned the parallel case to mid-October.
The latest constitutional addendum dictates that new parliamentary elections should follow the approval of a new constitution by two months. Around 70 per cent of the constitution is reported to be in final draft form, with progress being made on the remainder. Some expect to see a full draft sometime in October.
Leading Brotherhood members also made earlier statements indicating that in the case that the People's Assembly was not reinstated and new elections take place, the FJP — the political arm of the Brotherhood — will run for 100 per cent of available parliamentary seats.
Other similar controversial cases still awaiting the court's final verdict include the case against the constitutionality of the Shura Council (parliament's upper house) and a similar case against the Constituent Assembly, tasked with drafting Egypt's new constitution, which was chosen by the dissolved People's Assembly.

poem performed in this song by Rafeef Ziadah.
Iran's top atomic energy official said in an article published Thursday that because of foreign espionage, his government had sometimes provided false information to protect its nuclear program.
Note the crucial bit of missing information here, left out by the NY Times in order to spin this sentence as some sort of "confession" by Iran of having hidden nukes: WHO WHOM? TO WHOM has he said Iran provided false information – to the IAEA or to Western spies?
Because that's a real crucial bit of difference! Needless to explain: There's generally no obligation on a country to allow foreign spying, especially when its scientists are being assassinated. However the NY Time's simply runs with the assumption that this official is saying "We lied to the IAEA because we're making nukes" rather than "We tried to mislead foreign intelligence agencies so they would not assassinate us". Go back and read it again, better yet read the original Arabian news report. Or translate it. You won't see him saying "We lied TO THE IAEA because we're hiding nukes" Instead, he's referring to foreign intelligence agencies. But that's not how the NY Times spins it.
The bottom line is, as much as the NY Times and friends would like to exploit this sentence, there is still no evidence of any nuclear weapons program, and Iran has never diverted nuclear material for non-peaceful uses, and all of this is verified by regular, intensive IAEA inspections. So what precisely is it that Iran has been lying about to the IAEA? Because the IAEA would sure like to know.
So what's really going on here? Why is the NY Times putting this spin on the story? Because for the longest time they've been looking for a way to kill the US National Intelligence Estimate, which has been saying for a while now that Iran has no nuclear weapons program and has shown no interest in one either. Boy when that NIE came out, it went off like a bomb. Bush ran off to Israel and disassociated himself from his own intelligence agencies. There was talk about intelligence agencies having carried out a "coup" and gone rogue. The Israelis were steaming. They've been pressing ever since to either get that NIE rewritten, or to somehow find a way around it, even if it means denigrating US intelligence analysts. Well, here you go! Here's an Iranian official saying "We lied". How much hay can you make out of that?!
Pexton then offered some ostensible reasons for such a state of affairs. He wrote: "First, Israel refuses to acknowledge publicly that it has nuclear weapons. [Israel's policy is known as "nuclear ambiguity."] The U.S. government also officially does not acknowledge the existence of such a program." But the very purpose of a purportedly free media is to ferret out and mention things that governments don't acknowledge. And the fact that Iran actually denies trying to develop nuclear weapons does not prevent the U.S. media from charging it with that very activity.
Then Pexton glommed onto the idea that since Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) its nuclear weapons are not ipso facto illegal and that it is under no legal obligation to have them inspected, whereas since Iran did sign that treaty it is not allowed to develop nuclear weapons and must allow for full inspections of all of its nuclear facilities. Pexton maintains that "the core of the current dispute is that Tehran is not letting them [International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) weapons inspectors] have unfettered access to all of the country's nuclear installations." It is not apparent that the NPT actually allows inspectors to have "unfettered access" to go wherever they want. And while the IAEA has found some faults with Iran's adherence to the NPT, Israel and the United States go beyond the letter of the Treaty in demanding that Iran be prohibited from developing a "nuclear weapons capability" or engaging in the enrichment of uranium to high levels that could lead to nuclear weapons. Such demands would inhibit the promotion and sharing of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, which is one of the fundamental "pillars" of the NPT and a significant reason why countries lacking nuclear weapons would be motivated to become Treaty members. Iran thus has some justification in claiming that its treaty rights in this area have been violated by existing sanctions.
Furthermore, the NPT does not give the United States the right to enforce its provisions—even if they were being violated—by attacking Iran, and still more outrageous would be the claim that it would be legal for Israel to enforce a treaty to which it is not a party.
And, finally, Iran could withdraw from the NPT, which it could legally do according to Article X of the Treaty, which allows such a move if "extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this Treaty, have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country." To do so, Iran would simply be required to give the reasons for leaving and three months' notice. In sum, the clear-cut legal distinction between Israel and Iran on the nuclear weapons issue made by Pexton does not actually seem to exist.
Next, Pexton points out that Israel "has military censors that can and do prevent publication of material on Israel's nuclear forces." But is Iran without such censorship? If this were the case, then all the charges that the Islamic Republic is an oppressive government, which is the fundamental argument for "regime change," would have to be abandoned. And if Iran does have censorship, then its existence cannot be a reason for the failure to discuss Israel's nuclear program.
Then Pexton attributes the failure to discuss Israel's nuclear program to the fact that Israel and the United States "are allies and friends." This explanation obviously contains much truth, but it is insufficient. It is not the whole truth and is certainly not a justification for the existing situation. It is an admission of bias, while most people, even government leaders and media officials, profess to believe in truth. An obvious question would be: why can't the light of truth shine through on this issue?
This same critique could also apply to Pexton's next exculpatory explanation: "not being open about Israel's nuclear weapons serves both U.S. and Israeli interests." More than this, while it obviously serves Israel's interests, to be seen as biased in favor of Israel does not benefit U.S. interests in regard to the rest of the Middle East or, for that matter, the rest of the world. This has been a concern of U.S. diplomatic officials from the time of the creation of Israel.
But Pexton ends up his article by trying to show that he really identifies with the best interests of Israel, and thus implies a benign intent, and even justification, for the current blackout and double standard on Israel's nukes, while simultaneously chiding the lack of press coverage of the subject. In exonerating Israel, he avers: "I don't think many people fault Israel for having nuclear weapons. If I were a child of the Holocaust, I, too, would want such a deterrent to annihilation. But that doesn't mean the media shouldn't write about how Israel's doomsday weapons affect the Middle East equation. Just because a story is hard to do doesn't mean The Post, and the U.S. press more generally, shouldn't do it." Note that in his effort to show his identification with Jewish suffering, Pexton plays the obligatory, and often debate-ending, Holocaust card.
The problem with what Pexton asserts is that the Jews of Israel are not facing annihilation, whereas, as a result of Israel's nukes, its neighbors do confront such a possibility. And it is quite understandable that they do not like that situation and there is no moral reason why they should have to face annihilation any more than the Israeli Jews.
Moreover, contrary to what Pexton claims in his above statement, many people around the world do fault Israel for having nuclear weapons. For example, the 120-nation Nonaligned Movement in its 16th global summit recently voted for global nuclear disarmament, with no exception for Israel. And the Arab states for a number of years have advocated that the Middle East become a nuclear weapons-free zone. Even a majority of Israeli Jews in a November 2011 poll favored the idea of a nuclear weapons-free zone, though it was made known to them that this would entail Israel giving up its nuclear arsenal.
Finally, many Americans might oppose the nuclear double standard, too, if its stark reality were often thrust before them in the same way that the alleged misdeeds of Iran are placed in the media's spotlight. It is quite understandable that an issue ignored by the mainstream media would not attract widespread public attention.
What Pexton leaves out in his discussion of Israel's nuclear arsenal is also of the utmost significance. First, while Pexton invokes legalistic arguments in his quasi-apologetic for the status quo, it is not apparent that the United States government is following federal law on this issue. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 as amended by the Symington Amendment of 1976 and the Glenn Amendment of 1977 prohibits U.S. military assistance to countries that acquire or transfer nuclear reprocessing technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections. For the United States to provide aid in such cases requires a special waiver from the office of the President, and it has issued such a waiver for Pakistan, another non-signatory of the NPT with nuclear weapons. But, in line with Israel's wishes, the United States government does not want to publicly recognize Israel's nuclear weapons, and thus eschews this approach. Hence, it directly violates federal law in its provision of aid to Israel, America's foremost foreign aid recipient.
In the Yom Kippur War of 1973, it has been argued by analysts such as Seymour Hersh that Israel used the threat of launching nuclear missiles to blackmail the United States to begin an immediate and massive resupply of the Israeli military. It was correctly perceived in Israel that American strategy intended to delay any resupply in an attempt to let the Arabs achieve some territorial gains and thus force Israel to be more pliable and trade the occupied land for peace.
Since the United States government has given in to this blackmail it would seem that it believes that Israel is not simply bluffing.
In sum, Pexton offers a rather tepid and incomplete account of Israel's nuclear program and its ramifications, one that often verges on the apologetic. Still, given the limited parameters of permissibility in the American mainstream on anything concerning Israel, even broaching this subject is courting danger, and for this Pexton has been lauded by Phil Weiss as having "some spine," especially for noting that to give Israel negative publicity on its illegal settlements can lead to the destruction of one's career.
And that fact underscores how unfree American society is on the whole subject of Israel. Grant Smith, however, after pointing out the shortcomings of Pexton's article, writes: "The Washington Post in particular seems to want to play a role in shoring up the decrepit policy of 'strategic ambiguity' [rather] than enlighten readers about the true role of Israel's arsenal in US and Iranian relations." It is apparent that in the mainstream the full truth about Israel's nuclear weapons remains strictly verboten.

This is really wonderful! Like a very pleasant dream!
Wow that's amazing I love your imagination, it's very Tolkien-ish.
Reminds me The Last Unicorn.
This is a very pleasant comparison for me (= Thank you.
You're welcome. Your art is amazing.
прекрасные единорожечки - люблю их. а по цветам-то вовсе красотища!


Thought it would be interesting to see what people here think of the demo.
Oh well, guess I'll try the PC version tomorrow.
So far, it seems great. The save system seems a little wonky, since the one time I tried to use it it loaded only the background and refused show the dialogue, characters, or even the bar with the dialogue and Tom's face on it, but I just started from the beginning again.
I also noticed that it seemed to refocus every couple of screens. Not sure if that's on purpose, and can't be fixed, or is a bug, but it was mildly irritating (little things like that irk me, but I'm just weird that way). Nothing that ruined the experience for me or anything, just thought I'd mention it.
I keep getting reminded of Katawa Shoujo, and dem feels are coming back. Pinkie really reminds me of Emi, with the hairstyle and all. I think it's a good thing. A lot of people I know got into VNs with Katawa Shoujo, and like I said, I have some pleasant memories associated with it. Feels a little nostalgic.
I just finished going through the entire demo, and so far, I must say that I absolutely love it. The art work is phenomenally well done, the music is absolutely perfect, and the story is amazing. Actually, nearing the end of it, it reminded me of something. As Tom was on his own in his room, alone with his thoughts, I couldn't help but notice that is almost exactly what went through my mind as I left home to enlist. Of course, the military being far more strict (and living with ~50 other dudes), is much different from high school. But, my thought process was relatively similar. Anyway, great job. I look forward to the finished product. Hell, I may even go through the demo a few more times before it gets released. Thanks for the awesome product.
I just played through, and it looks great. Love the music especially. A first I was worried about a slight lack of variety in sprites and music, but then I remembered the disclaimer about how several are placeholders. The writing was great, with all the characters feeling like themselves - I especially love how Pinkie keeps getting up close and personal.
Is Derpy going to be holding all the little odd jobs on and around the school? That would be so great. I can hear the narration already: "How many jobs does this girl have? Can she even have time to sleep?".
Thomas Daniel Stone. Just perfect.
Oh, I found a small bug: in the middle of the RD conversation, the cursor is moved to the center of the screen.
Just finished trying the demo.
The characters are great, the art and design is beautiful, and the writing (aside from 1 or 2 typos) is fantastic.
I look forward to seeing what happens in the finished version, I know everyone who's working on it will do an amazing job.
Man that was pretty great, the art was really well done and the music was great aswell.
Only a few typos, but meh, that's nothing important.
I enjoyed it a lot, that's my judgement.
1. The story started with a bunch of vague, introspective narration. I think it would be better to start with an event happening (two people talking, or action).
2a. What sort of school did Tom attend?
2b. Where did he live?
2c. Why travel by train?
3a. Tom and Twilight already know each other at the beginning. When FIM began, Spike and Twilight already knew each other. Though their relationship is more like mother-son or siblings.
3b. Also, it seems both Tom and Spike like to sleep.
4. I'm a little surprised by how large AJ, Rarity, Derpy, Pinkie, *and* Fluttershy's cup sizes seem to be. By comparison, Twilight's body looks slimmer, and Celestia's body is appropriate for an adult. That said, it's your choice as to how you draw humanized characters. Their canon ages are vague, and of course this story is only loosely based on FIM.
5. I didn't expect the zoom effect when meeting Pinkie. Maybe it's because I've been following the English visual novel community for years, and I'm still surprised when anything looks better than Amatire.
6. I'm not sure if I like side portraits. It looks like they're identical to the characters' on screen expressions. A nice option, I guess, but not essential.
7. I suppose it's appropriate that Tom's surname is "Stone." And is the "Daniel" middle name referring to a certain well known FIM composer?
I think an important thing to do would be to make model sheets like this http://ghostwriternext.deviantart.com/art/Fabienne-The-Hedgehog-Model-Sheet-392105445 to keep the character designs consistent.
Finished playing through the demo, really great stuff. I can't wait for the full release!
Few small things that jumped out at me as I played through.
When it says Twilight is fast asleep on the train, the image is of her just standing there with eyes shut. I'm guessing this is a placeholder, but if it's not I'd highly recommend taking the time to do one of her lying down on the seat.
The music is great, but it doesn't quite loop properly, once the song finishes it cuts off at the end and has a small pause with no sound then starts again, rather then having a full fade out/in, or an instant loop back to the start.
There's a few gaps where no music plays, again I'm guessing this is temporary. But if it's not, get something in there!
This is a small detail, but I feel like in some of the longer scenes, the image becomes too stagnant, something as simple as adding in a blink animation, or maybe have some subtle changes in the background so that the image continues to move.
More of a question, will there be actual dialog options? So far in the story, there hasn't been any choices. Will we get the option to play through a few different ways, or is Tom's storyline pathway set in stone?
Oh and in the scene at the end of the demo where Tom makes it to his room, it mentions his bag sitting on the bed, but the image has his bag next to his desk. I found it a bit off-putting. Maybe add an extra image of some bags sitting on the bed, just for that scene, then remove them later? Or an easier option would be to just change to text so it says his bag is next to his desk.
That's about it! I'd just like to say again how amazed I am by the quality of this project. When I first saw it several months ago, I was expecting some short, half-assed attempt, but just the demo has already exceeded those expectations! Continue the great work and I look forward to hearing your updates.
[*]More of a question, will there be actual dialog options? So far in the story, there hasn't been any choices. Will we get the option to play through a few different ways, or is Tom's storyline pathway set in stone?
Especially considering the demo was just part the first chapter (I think), and is unfinished with placeholders.
I thought the demo was pretty awesome. Really great artwork in particular.
1. In the first conversation with Derpy, her portrait appears much lower than Toms. It's a bit weird seeing Toms portrait with head, neck, and shoulders, and then it switches to Derpys image only showing her head. I guess that's to show that she's a lot shorter?
2. A couple of small grammar errors in the office scene with Celestia. Tom says, "It's not that I don't have ambition, it's more like... I don't [know] where to aim it."
And a little later Celestia says "Applied studies will give(s) you classes focusing more..."
"...some classes fit into all subjects, and other[s] are mandatory."
I know this is being really pedandic but it's little details like this that can spoil a great game for me. Anyway, keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the games final release!
I like it. I've only played two visual novels ever so I'm really looking forward to this one.
I so far really liked it. For a relatively low budget(?) and being completely free it is beautifully done. The writing is great but what really hooked me was the music and beautiful artwork. Serious kudos to the artist(s) who's on the team. I've read a small amount of VNs and this shows a lot of promise to be one of my favorites. I can't wait to see the finished product also the portraits zooming in and out is a pretty awesome touch. Haven't seen a VN do that so far and it's quite a fun touch to reading and interacting with the characters.
I enjoyed it a lot. Tom was more likeable than I thought he might be. He's unsure but not completely helpless. The artwork is excellent. I like how it can be scaled to full-screen without loss in quality. I liked Derpy popping up around the place too.
It seems like a good school too—a place where I wouldn't mind spending a lot of time at.
1. Some more poses for the characters.
3. The writing is good but I think the start should be compacted or have some indication of progress happening. The black lasts for a little too long. Maybe images of the long distance the train is going.
So, I'll be the crazy guy and complain about, *GASP*, the MUSIC! Yes, I have a complaint. What kind of complaint?
My sound level was adjusted to the first sountrack to pop by. The second one's harp started so loud that it startled me. Throughout listening to said soundtrack I was under the impression that the harp in the right ear (it was a harp, right?) was just too loud compared to the other instruments. Obviously I'm no musician so this is a player's perspective. But, devs, I urge you to take note of it and every other non-positive comment to come along. Might be one of us devil's advocates is on to something.
That said, loving what you have so far. I do hope some small level of voice acting can be included, as I loved the trailer voice acting for Twilight and I think she would do an amazing job in general.
Oh, one more thing. At the start, the text there was kind of long and arduous. At a point I felt like my time was being wasted as I became uninterested in Tom's thoughts. Spice it up? Make it a bit shorter? I'm just making remarks and suggestions, not claiming to KNOW things here.
We may not respond to every post, but I make a note of every major issue people have.
How did I forget about my biggest issue?! Geez, I knew I should have written it down somewhere.
Okay, so my biggest qualm with the beta was the text. Playing it I had an experience I never had before, which was that I kept having too look away from the characters! Now, obviously, you need to to read the text. But in the demo this was significantly more so than with other VN's.
1. The text is awfully far to the left for where characters usually are.
3. The text is very small in size for said distance to the faces.
My preferred state would be where I could read the text at a glance and not feel like I have to wait with reading just to make sure I caught all the expression changes.
I noticed that after you finish talking with Rainbow for the first time then mention that you need to be at the headmasters office.
"Sorry about that! I was having so much showing you guys around that I totally forgot why we were doing it in the first place!"
Shouldn't the word fun be after much?
Let's see, what to say about my initial impressions of the demo excluding the music. I really enjoy the artwork and and character designs. For me the conversations or writing were easy to follow and enjoyable to read. It wasn't very text heavy (thank god). Personally I felt Tom was relatable. Tom is best rock. Sorry about that.
But one problem is the loading. I loaded one save file and pop out a background and character portraits. And that's it, no text boxes and no way to progress the game.
I guess that is it, Im not very good at giving critique. Overall, for me the demo was really good, can't wait for the full version.
Will there be VAs implemented in the final game?
Will the visual novel have multiple endings with choices being critical or is it a linear story progression?
(Silly question) Will there be a prom if this is Tom's senior year?
So yeah, keep up the good work you guys.
Other than the occasional typo (which was to be expected of an unfinished product anyway) I really don't have any complaints so far. >w< It's beautimous! Keep up the good work, friends!
The graphics are very reminiscent of K-on in my opinion, which isn't bad. It has a very "moe" feel. However the shading, on the breast, in particular is awkward and it feels like the perspective is a little confused. I don't expect this to change this late in development. Just for your info.
The music isn't bad, but it has a very noticeable flaw in that it either needs A) to be longer or B) to loop better. Nothing like hearing the music loop, obviously, multiple times in a long meaningful conversation.
This is where I might start sounding douche-y. In my opinion the writing sounds like it's trying to be Japanese, like other VNs, but feels like it's written by westerners. It comes off as weird and awkward. There were several behavior issues that I had, the biggest when Pinkie asked Tom's name and he asks "My name?" Who the hell else would she be talking to? Then moments later the same thing happens with Twilight. There were more of these. Certain things were said, that would never be said. Such as "I need to be unconscious now." No one would ever say that. It sounds weird and wrong.
I do have certain biases and I thought I'd lay them out. First I don't like dark Twilight, I don't think she's to dark here which is nice. Second I hate large breasted Fluttershy. No really I hate everyone who draws her well endowed. I personally don't think it's fitting.
Having played a lot of VNs myself there is a certain length:arcs:choices ratio I really hope that you can get it down.
I know I may not sound like it, but I am looking forward to reading this. I want you guys to succeed.
On the music I agree with you but I think they said that the music in the demo is a placeholder. As far as the well endowed Fluttershy (I'm all for it ) I'm just glad they are all different and not sharing the same body type.
On that note, I don't actually hate anyone.
Different body types are fine, good even. I just don't like Fluttershy getting the large breast. But who am I to judge, and we're all looking forward to this VN anyways.

Trivia, Doctor Strange (film)
Doctor Strange (film)/Trivia
< Doctor Strange (film)
A list of trivia related to Doctor Strange:
Reference to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Wong makes a comparison between the Masters of the Mystic Arts and the Avengers to Stephen Strange, specifying that they are battling more mystical threats from extra-dimensional beings.
The Avengers Tower can be seen on the New York City skyline.
Near the end of the movie, Wong reveals that the Eye of Agamotto contains an Infinity Stone. This is the fifth Infinity Stone revealed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Stephen Strange worked at Metro-General Hospital. The hospital was introduced in Daredevil.
Reference to the Marvel Comics
Characters from the movie adapted from the comics in the main cast are Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange, the Ancient One, Karl Mordo, Kaecilius, Christine Palmer, Wong and Dormammu. Other characters from the comics are Nicodemus West, Daniel Drumm and Hamir. A character based on Tina Minoru, named in the credits only, has a cameo appearance in the film.
When he entered Kamar-Taj, Strange mistakes Master Hamir for the Ancient One, only to be greeted by the real one. This is a reference to the original Ancient One appearances in the comics.
The look of the Dark Dimension is heavily inspired by Steve Ditko's design of Eternity's realm in the comics.
Kamar-Taj's wi-fi password is "Shamballa", a reference to the mystical lost kingdom and, more specifically, to the 1986 graphic novel Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa.
The surgery scene of Doctor Strange operated by Christine Palmer at the Metro-General Hospital, is nearly identical to the surgery scene of the Doctor Strange: The Oath, where Strange is operated by Linda Carter.
Deleted Scenes and Concepts
Originally, Scott Derrickson intended to make Nightmare the main villain of the movie, but Kevin Feige was against it. "Kevin made a very cogent case," said Derrickson. "The trouble with starting with Nightmare is getting across the idea of the Dream Dimension as another dimension. The movie was challenging enough. It's already an exposition-heavy movie... Dormammu made the most sense. And he is the most present villain in the comics."
The property master Barry Gibbs revealed that the Ebony Blade was meant to appear in the movie, alongside the other relics conserved in the New York Sanctum. "That was going to go into a book called the Lexicon of Relics, but the Ebony Blade was taken out of the script. I don't quite know why. Again, as things evolved, it wasn't pertinent to the script. Things just moved on." [1]
In an early draft of the movie, Stephen Strange was meant to become the Sorcerer Supreme by the end of the movie, but Derrickson and his crew had many many problems with that.
In concept art for the Chamber of Relics the Screaming Idol was featured.
Colin Farrell, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy, Ethan Hawke, Jack Huston, Oscar Isaac, Jared Leto, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Keanu Reeves and Benedict Cumberbatch were all considered for Stephen Strange.
Benedict Cumberbatch was the first choice and was offered the lead role of Stephen Strange but initially had to decline due to his theatre commitments playing Shakespeare's Hamlet which will clash with the film's proposed shooting date. Joaquin Phoenix was the studio's second choice for lead role but Phoenix, after a few months of deliberation, eventually turned down the offer due his reluctance to do a multi-picture deal that was required by the studio if he signed on.
Co-Writer C. Robert Cargill revealed on his podcast Junkfood Cinema that he suggested cameos for Jeffrey Combs and the late Dick Miller but ultimately was unsuccessful in securing them. Combs had previously starred in the film Doctor Mordrid which started as a Doctor Strange film. [2]
The film has been in development since 1986. Wes Craven was set to direct in 1992. Later in 2001, David S. Goyer was going to write and direct. In 2008, Guillermo del Toro was brought on as director. In 2014, Mark Andrews, Jonathan Levine, Nikolaj Arcel, Scott Derrickson and Dean Israelite were on the shortlist to direct with Derrickson being the ultimate choice.
This is the second film to feature Doctor Strange after a live-action TV movie featuring Peter Hooten in the lead role in 1978 that premiered on CBS, which was airing The Amazing Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk TV series at the time.
This film introduces a new Marvel Studios logo, now incorporating elements from previous films into the animation. Like Thor: The Dark World, the previous film to introduce a new studio logo, it is the second film in its respective phase.
Unorganized Trivia
Rachel McAdams' startled reaction in the broom closet of Metro-General Hospital was genuine, since the mop handle fell completely by accident, and scared McAdams almost out of her skin. Scott Derrickson decided to keep the reaction in the film, since she never broke character.
A post-credits caption promises "Doctor Strange will return".

"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. There's no question that I'm all of those things," Howard Cosell once said of himself. Cosell is still the standard of sports journalism today with his incredible ability to tell the truth, but be fair to everybody involved. He was so versatile too, with the ability to cover any sport; boxing, football, the Olympics, college sports, basketball, hockey; it didn't matter. The man studied, dissected events and provided honest analysis while being incredibly entertaining with his quick wit and sarcasm. Cosell was celebrated by TV Guide as the All-Time Best Sportscaster in it's issue celebrating 40 years of television and was ranked as one of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of All-Time. Certainly, Cosell was known for his various feuds with both athletes and other members of the media because of his ego, but that was what made him so great. He never let somebody push him around when he was trying to get the story. He simply would tell it like it is.

UVA-Led Program Seeks To Broaden The Pool of Stem Researchers
UVA biologist Alison Criss mentored Bennett College student Princess Bush, who conducted research in her lab during the summer program. (Photos by Dan Addison, University Communications)
For students in the VA-NC Alliance for Minority Participation, a summer research program at the University of Virginia showed them career paths in STEM fields they hadn't considered before and gave them potentially life-changing experiences.
"This program has opened my eyes to the environmental side of engineering," said Sophia Keniston, a second-year student at Piedmont Virginia Community College, who said she might transfer to UVA.
Her first research experience "rearranged my entire perspective of research," said Princess Bush, a rising third-year student at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Led by UVA and launched 12 years ago, the alliance is devoted to increasing the number of students from minority groups that have been underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. In its third phase of funding from the National Science Foundation's Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation, the VA-NC program is one of more than 40 consortiums around the country.
The alliance brings together large research universities, historically black colleges and universities, and community colleges to offer individually tailored recruitment, retention and enhancement activities to support students interested in advanced study or professions in STEM fields. Participants are African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders and students who report more than one of the above.
Over the years, the VA-NC Alliance has grown from eight to 12 partner institutions: Bennett College, Elizabeth City State University (part of the University of North Carolina system), George Mason University, Johnson C. Smith University (in Charlotte), National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Old Dominion University, Piedmont Virginia Community College, Saint Augustine's University (in Raleigh), Thomas Nelson Community College, the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Tech.
Sophia Keniston, who is studying engineering at PVCC, worked with civil engineering professor Jon Goodall in his hydroinformatics lab.
The partnering schools offer mentoring, research opportunities, workshops, internships, attendance at local and national symposia, and participation in UVA's annual Summer Research Program, created specifically for alliance students 10 years ago.
"The VA-NC Alliance Summer Research Program is often the first experience our students have conducting undergraduate research outside of their course labs," program director Kristin Morgan said. She serves as co-principal investigator of the alliance led by Kevin McDonald, vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusion, who became the principal investigator after Dr. Marcus Martin retired. Maurice Walker works as program coordinator.
About 25 UVA faculty members over the years have opened their labs to the summer students to give them research experience. Along with the graduate students working there, they provide advice and guidance about pathways to STEM careers, especially the graduate school process.
One year, a group of students even discovered a new molecule in space.
"During the summer program at UVA, students learn about the high value that graduate school admissions committees place on rigorous research experiences as they evaluate applicants," Morgan said. "We collaborate with the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs to provide summer researchers with professional development sessions to prepare them for the graduate school application process, including GRE prep courses, writing workshops and panel discussions with faculty and graduate students."
"This program has helped me to decide on a STEM field by exposing me to careers and opportunities in research that I had not previously considered. "
– PRINCESS BUSH, BENNETT COLLEGE STUDENT
Bush, who grew up in Orlando, Florida, and is majoring in biology at Bennett College, said, "I realize that research is a way that I may selflessly serve my community. This program has challenged my view of what a career is and has provided me with information that I will use to choose a career in the STEM field that is authentic to me, while serving others."
She worked with Alison Criss, associate professor of microbiology, immunology and cancer biology in the School of Medicine, on research seeking to understand how the most drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea work.
Criss said she's committed to mentoring the next generation of STEM researchers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds.
"The VA-NC Alliance gives me the opportunity to work with talented undergraduates on what is often their first independent research experience. It's an honor for me to be part of those 'a-ha' moments when a student gets a tough experimental system to work or relates a key concept in their reading to their own results," she wrote in an email. "I really like that the program emphasizes development of skills in leadership, professionalism and science communication, which last far beyond the summer research experience."
Both she and Jonathan Goodall, associate professor of civil engineering, said the VA-NC Alliance does an amazing job running the program and engaging students, and they've enjoyed working with these students.
"I am a strong believer that diversity is a critical component of a successful research program," said Goodall, who leads the Hydroinformatics Research Group. "For one reason, you need to be able to study complicated problems from multiple perspectives to see and successfully implement possible solutions."
Keniston, who grew up in Richmond, researched "the environmental impacts of a Virginia policy that aims to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous in the Chesapeake Bay while saving money … called Nutrient Credit Trading," she wrote in an email. She said learning about the field of hydrology has been wonderful and is helping to reshape her academic path forward.
These students are just the most recent among thousands who are benefitting from the VA-NC Alliance.
Data from 2017-18 show that the number of underrepresented minority students in the alliance who graduated in STEM fields increased 141% above the baseline, from 873 to 2,108. The number of STEM degrees they earned increased by 332% over the program's 12 years.
A recent accolade recognizes this success. The program received the 2019 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the largest and oldest diversity and inclusion publication in higher education. UVA will be featured, along with 49 other recipients, in the magazine's September issue.

The audio-video system was also upgraded with the addition of a Denon AVR-3311C receiver, a Samsung Blu-ray Disc player, an iPod docking station and a KVH TracVision receiver. New overhead speaker boxes and speakers were also installed throughout the vessel. Exterior upgrades included the installation of a new teak cockpit and covering boards, a modified teak mezzanine, a new stainless steel refrigerated fish box and a full topside paint job. The end result is a showpiece that looks and performs like the day it was launched.
Work is complete on the 71′ motoryacht NIKITA, built in New Zealand by Diverse Products. The vessel has departed on a Dockwise transport ship to Europe where it will travel to various destinations along the Mediterranean Sea, then north through the British Isles, with an ultimate goal to travel back across the Atlantic to Alaska.
In preparation for its voyage, American Custom Yachts performed an extensive refit on the vessel under the supervision of project manager Eddie Smith. The refit entailed fabricating a 3-foot transom extension that incorporates a stern thruster along with watertight Freeman hatches to access the steering system. The extension created a 110-square-foot swim platform outfitted with a removable boarding ladder. Additional work included installing new hull scoops to redirect water flow, converting all of the interior lighting to LED, adding an antibacterial filter to the water system, modifying the inverter system to European power, installing new salon carpet, and performing a complete topside paint and cap rail varnish. To accommodate the vessel's ambitious long-range itinerary, a cutting-edge navigation system with redundant components was installed. The pilothouse station features a Furuno NavNet 3D BlackBox multi-function display (MFD) and 12 kW UHD digital radar with a 4′ open-array antenna, along with a 15.5″ Garmin GPSMAP 7215 chartplotter. A Furuno NavNet 3D MFD was also installed in the flybridge, along with an 8″ Garmin GPSMAP 6208 chartplotter.
This challenging project took several months to complete and involved close coordination between ACY's service department and affiliated companies. The end result is a truly unique vessel fully modified to meet the needs of overseas travel.
Renamed and ready for adventure, the WENCH, a 73' Donzi enclosed-bridge sportfisherman, received an extreme makeover at ACY with the help of affiliate Bausch-American Towers (BAT) – all under the supervision of Captain Dan Coffman.

Highlights included refitting the pilothouse helm to accommodate new electronics and modifying the framing and headliner in the master stateroom to accommodate a drop-down TV. ACY also added a clear-ice icemaker to the mezzanine with a custom A/C vent to keep the ice cold. The air-conditioning system was also upgraded to improve cooling in the helm and office areas. Extensive navigation and audio-video upgrades were performed throughout the vessel. Navigation components include two 15″ KEP pilothouse glass bridge displays, a Furuno NavNet 3D system with radar, sounder and chartplotter. The pilothouse bench cabinet was modified to house the black boxes for the NavNet 3D system, as well as audio-video components. Broadband satellite communications and entertainment solutions were provided by KVH TracPhone V7 and TracVision HD7 systems. New Samsung TVs were installed in every room, controlled by Universal Remote Controls. A security system by GOST completed the package, incorporating several remotely accessible cameras viewable offsite at home or office. Final touches on the vessel included a newly-painted hull with the addition of a gold leaf stripe the length of the boat.
The American Family of Companies combined forces to make the 58' Jarrett Bay WHOO DAT a truly unique showpiece worthy of the Jarrett Bay legacy. ACY installed a new teak cockpit deck, along with new covering boards, custom cockpit speaker boxes, a below-deck fish box and a custom live well with tuna tubes integrated into the transom. Additional upgrades included new cockpit fuel tanks and running gear, LED through-hull underwater lights, a keel-mounted transducer, interior carpet and a new salon A/C compressor. ACY also performed numerous paint blends to accommodate the many build outs. A custom tuna tower, loaded with rod holders, was added by Bausch-American Towers – complete with tri-color dome lights, LED spreader lights, a drop-down radio box and recessed teaser reels. The finishing touches included a state-of-the art navigation package with three 15″ KEP 1500-nit sunlight LCD monitors and Simrad components including NSO black box processors, a TX10s 10-kW radar with 6″ open array and a BSM-2 broadband CHIRP compatible echo-sounder.

Interior improvements included fabricating drawers under the dinette seating for additional storage, installing a new galley cook top, adding Corian rails to all counters, modifying the rod closet to fit a washer and dryer, and installing new carpet throughout. American also modified the salon audio-video cabinet to accommodate a new A/V package that included new TVs in the salon, staterooms and crew area.
ACY teamed up with Bausch-American Towers to create the perfect entertainment solution for the 72' Knight & Carver motoryacht MAKARA courtesy of a top deck extension and custom hard top. The new extension added 63 square feet of deck area with a built-in wet bar and drop-down TV. ACY cut out a three-foot piece from the aft end of the bridge overhang, built out the area by 45 inches with sister longitudinal framing and then reattached the cut piece. The combing, deck and underside were then refabricated, resurfaced, faired and painted to match the existing structure. ACY's craftsmen also created a custom wet bar molded into the existing seating and arch support and installed new stainless steel hand rails. Bausch-American Towers topped off the project with a 330-square-foot hard top outfitted with a drop-down TV.
Completing another chapter in its long history with American Custom Yachts (ACY), the 101′ Palmer Johnson EXCEL returned for its third major refit in 14 years. First highlighted in Volume 11 of American Patriot Press, EXCEL visited the yard in 1999 for a custom 11-foot transom extension. The vessel was renamed MOON RIVER in 2003 and returned to ACY in 2009 for a total repower, extensive interior modifications, an electronics upgrade and a full paint job.
In 2013, the boat returned again under new ownership to undergo significant interior and exterior modifications under the direction of the vessel's long-time project manager Eddie Smith. To create additional leisure space, ACY converted the salon dining area into a day cabin outfitted with a built-in couch, bookcase, a new desk and television. The pantry was eliminated, and the refrigerator was relocated to create more room in the galley. A new dining area was established forward of the galley, replacing the old library, and new carpet was installed in the day cabin and salon. Interior furnishings were reupholstered and a new headliner was also installed on the upper deck. Exterior modifications included the fabrication of new top deck seating areas, new handrails with seat cushions and rail covers. The barbecue was relocated to accommodate the new deck layout. The final touch was restoring the vessel's original name EXCEL with new transom lettering. It was good to have her home again.
Following the addition of an 11-foot transom extension in 1999, the 101′ Palmer Johnson MOON RIVER returned ten years later in 2009 for repowering and a complete makeover under the careful direction of Captain Eddie Smith. The vessel was outfitted with new Cat C32 ACERT diesel engines and new running gear. ACY completed extensive modifications and upgrades throughout the vessel, along with a major overhaul of all systems and a total repaint. The vessel received an integrated audio-video and navigation system, providing iPod, CD, DVD and XM satellite radio throughout the boat. The media room was outfitted with a 37″ Samsung LCD TV mounted on a Motivated Design pop-up lift housed within a custom cabinet fabricated by ACY. Navigation components included a complete NavNet 3D system, a custom switching system, Simrad autopilot, a Northstar GPS, a navigation computer and dual ACR spotlights. ACY's architects and carpenters, created a new helm configuration and custom alarm panel, and ACY's machine and carpentry shops teamed up to build a custom barbecue for the aft deck.
The American Family of Companies created an exciting new look for the 68' Paul Mann JICHI, complementing the vessel's distinctive traditional profile. Upon completion of a full repaint and new transom lettering, the vessel was fitted with a custom full tower by Bausch-American Towers incorporating the existing hard top. An extensive Raymarine navigation package was also installed, including two 14″ multifunction GPS chartplotter displays, a digital sounder and a Sirius weather receiver. A 9″ repeater display was installed in the tower box. Satellite communications and entertainment are provided by a KVH TracPhone V3 with a rack-mounted antenna control unit and modem and a KVH TracVision HD7 with TriAmericas DirecTV system. VHF radio service is provided by twin rear-mounted Icom M504 VHF radios and a set of four Comrod 16' Rupp-ready VHF antennas. A new Clarion bridge stereo system with a watertight CD/tuner/multimedia interface and JL Audio M650 6.5″ speakers was also installed. The audio-video upgrades continued in the sleeping quarters with the installation of a Samsung 46″ 1080p LED HDTV and a Universal Remote controlled Sony Bravia theater system in the master stateroom, as well as a Sony Bravia 26″ 720p LCD HDTV with Samsung Blu-ray Disc player fitted in a custom cabinet box in the V-berth. The final result is a stunning transformation that truly accents the vessel's original beauty and craftsmanship.
ACY and its affiliates teamed up to give the custom 64' Precision SWAGGER an upgrade worthy of its new name. ACY installed a new teak mezzanine and deck and modified the helm console to accommodate a new electronics package. The craftsmen at Bausch-American Towers (BAT) installed a custom full tower incorporating the vessel's existing hard top fitted with a clear2sea acrylic bridge curtain. ACY and BAT lit up the boat from the top down with a tri-color tower and underwater lighting. A premier navigation and audio-video package was also installed. Navigation components include twin 17″ KEP sunlight readable LCD monitors and a complete Simrad navigation suite. Satellite entertainment and communications components include a KVH TracVision HD7 Tri-Americas system, a KVH TracPhone V7 system and a pair of Icom 504 VHF marine radios. The bridge stereo features a Fusion MS-IP700 receiver with iPod/iPhone dock and JL Audio M770A coaxial marine speakers. Completing the electronics package is a Carlisle & Finch 200-W xenon searchlight and a FLIR premium night vision camera. Audio-video components include new LED TVs in the salon and V-berth, a lift-up LED TV in the master stateroom and an Integra surround-sound system with SpeakerCraft speakers and a Sunfire subwoofer – all integrated with Sirius home satellite radio and an Apple Mac mini and Apple TV system. A Crestron Prodigy media controller operates all components from audio-video to TV lifts and window shades. Additional work on the vessel included installation of a new watermaker, a new A/C raw water supply, new through-hulls, keel repairs and new running gear.
When the recently-restored 1937 Purdy commuter boat APHRODITE was relocated to its new winter home in Palm Beach, American Custom Yachts (ACY) was asked to perform the finishing touches with a full repaint, varnish and new gold-leaf name application. This was quite an honor, considering the boat's illustrious history.
APHRODITE was built by the Purdy Boat Company and launched in May of 1937 for Wall Street financier, John Hay "Jock" Whitney, who became the executive producer of one of Hollywood's most memorable movies – Gone with the Wind. The 74-foot commuter boat would transport Whitney daily from his home on Long Island, westward down Long Island Sound and along the East River to his Wall Street office. The original power package consisted of two massive Packard V12 engines adapted from aviation use, producing over 1,500 horsepower. APHRODITE was a common sight racing up and down the river at 38 knots.
APHRODITE'S guests over the years read like a "Who's Who" in the world of government, business and entertainment with such luminaries as Fred Astaire, Sir Laurence Olivier, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Henry Ford II and Nelson Rockefeller joining Whitney for summer jaunts down Long Island Sound. APHRODITE even served as the venue for the ninth birthday party for popular child actor of the day, Shirley Temple.
In 1942, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Whitney offered APHRODITE to the U.S. government for war service, and the vessel was commissioned as a Coast Guard auxiliary vessel used to transport President Franklin Roosevelt. She was repowered with twin 1,750-hp Packard engines which were amped up by the Coast Guard to 2,000 hp, pushing APHRODITE to a cruising speed of 54 mph with a top speed of 60 mph!
The years passed, and the boat eventually fell into disrepair. In 2000 the boat was discovered by Captain Kirk Reynolds and his employer who persuaded the owner to sell. Reynolds patched up the soggy hull and miraculously navigated APHRODITE to Maine's Brooklin Boat Yard where she was fully restored under Reynolds' supervision.
Of American's work on the vessel, APHRODITE's Reynolds said, "ACY was very competitive and their paint shed is one of the best I've seen. Their quality is fantastic. They did a wonderful paint and varnish job, and, as anybody might know about APHRODITE, she has acres of varnish. The varnish and paint are the best she's ever had."
ACY performed an extreme makeover on the 64′ Spencer SEA PAVER under the watchful eye of Captain Ron Frick. Exterior modifications included a new teak cockpit, new covering boards, a bottom job and complete repaint. Interior upgrades included the fabrication and installation of a new galley top and new window valences – all matching the boat's existing cherry veneer. ACY also fabricated a new starboard salon loveseat and installed new bar stools with satin nickel-plated pedestals. The galley seating transformation was made complete with new upholstery by American Canvas and Interiors. Additional interior upgrades included the installation of a new washer/dryer, air conditioning system maintenance and miscellaneous varnish work. Final interior touches included a drop-down 40″ Samsung LED TV in the salon, along with a Klipsch 5.1 in-ceiling speaker system. A Sony Blu-ray Disc player was also added in the salon, and the A/V components were reconfigured in both the salon and master stateroom to play on Universal remotes. The helm was also refitted accommodate a new Furuno navigation package, including two 12″ NavNet 3D displays, a 25-kW NavNet 3D radar, a 2-kW echo sounder and a Class B AIS. A Fusion 12-volt marine stereo system with radio, CD player and iPod was also installed, along with Clarion bridge and cockpit speakers. A pair of Standard Horizon VHF radios completed the package.

Q: how to get desired datetime format i want to generate current date and time in a format like this  Mon, 10/08/12 12:29:39 . But when i used a code shown below
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;

i am getting like 10/8/2012 12:29:39 PM , but i actually want a format like Mon, 10/08/12 12:29:39 , what change in this code i can use to get the desired output.
I did this code also ,but didnt success
string format = "MMM ddd d HH:mm yyyy";    // Use this format
    Console.WriteLine(time.ToString(format));

A: Console.WriteLine(time.ToString("ddd, MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss"));

A: string format = "ddd, MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss";

A: Don't forget to provide the Culture (or the InvariantCulture) as a formatting parameter. Otherwise it will default to the UI culture which might not always provide the format that you expect.
string format = time.ToString("ddd, MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

A: you should read this page for the future
Custom Date and Time Format Strings:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx

A: you can use this code for all detail datetime
string inp;
DateTime inpdate = DateTime.ParseExact(inp, "dd/mm/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat);

and u too use this code for with out time
ret = pc.ToDateTime(Convert.ToInt32(inp.Split('/')[2]), Convert.ToInt32(inp.Split('/')[1]), Convert.ToInt32(inp.Split('/')[0]), 0, 0, 0, 0);

A: You can specify the format either by using one of the built in Methods for example:
.ToShortDateTimeString();

or specifying a string format in the parameter of the .ToString() method.
Example:
.ToString("hh/MM/yyyy");

you can find all the available string formats on the MSDN page, or if you simply google it.

Q: RedirectRoute in Google App Engine and url arguments I have a RESTful API like /do/some/<action:.*> so my app with get <action> and run it.
My question is, if I use RedirectRoute and strict_slash=True, will my app keep getting <action> as argument or will it start getting <action>/ (notice the / at the end)?
EDIT: I'm using webapp2

A: A RedirectRoute will issue a HTTP redirect telling the browser to go to the new URL, then the browser will make a new request at that URL.
How this is implemented is that two routes are created - your original route, and one for redirecting.
So, in your case, a route with /do/some/<action:.*>/ would be created that redirects to /do/some/<action.*>.
However, I think your route actually will be checked first (not positive, sorry), so it would just always fire. I would modify it to not match slashes, if that's okay. Luckily, that's the default behaviour if you omit the regex, so just /do/some/<action:> should work!


Parthiv Patel takes his long due revenge from Yuvraj Singh and it is HILARIOUS!
Parthiv Patel gives a savage reply to Yuvraj Singh.
So what if we aren't able to witness all the fun that takes place inside the Indian cricket team's dressing room? Our cricketers make it a point to keep us entertained through their social media banter. One fine example of that is the never-ending crosstalk between our beloved cricketers - Yuvraj Singh and Parthiv Patel. The two of them often exchange some comical remarks under each other's social media posts and Yuvraj being the senior one, leaves no opportunity to pull Parthiv's leg.
Patel took to his Instagram and shared a picture of him as he was seated on a treadmill. If we go by his caption, the image was clicked post his workout session. However, Yuvraj seemed to have a doubt on him as he left a rather sarcastic comment, that said, "Looks like was a great session! Your sweating a lot." LOL! This clearly didn't go well with Patel and the lad took it personally. He replied under Yuvi's comment, "I don't have a editing team which can show my 15 mins session into 2 hours session." Guys that was the end of it! Parthiv's reply was out and about savage!
Now, this takes us back to the year 2014 when the bowl was in Yuvraj Singh's court. The moment Parthiv posted a picture of him as he struggled to lift weights, Yuvraj was quick to roast him. The cricketer commented, "Is that weight lifting you or you are lifting weights?" Hehe! Well, Parthiv has successfully taken his revenge!
@parthiv9 is that the weight lifting u or u lifting weights ?
We absolutely love this humorously adorable camaraderie, shared by our cricketers and now, we await a bigger and better comeback from you, Yuvraj!

Operational Apple-1 computer to auction in Germany
A fully operational Apple-1 computer is set to auction in Germany in May.
Apple's beginnings in the 1970s were humble. The company was far from the globe-straddling juggernaut it is today.
The Apple-1 was a major leap forward in home computing
It started in a garage in Palo Alto, California. Founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs sold the few valuable possessions they had to get the company off the ground.
The Apple-1 was its first release and was sold in kit form.
Buyers bought the motherboard and assembled their own housing.
Only around 200 Apple-1s were built, of which 175 were sold. However, Apple recalled these early models – offering buyers the opportunity to upgrade to an Apple II (which featured moulded housing) for free.
Most of these early adopters were delighted to upgrade. Only 70 or so Apple-1s are known to have survived to the present day, of which around eight are in working condition.
In 2014, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan paid $905,000 for an Apple-1 in recognition of its extraordinary impact on the world of technology.
This example is offered by Auction Team Breker and comes with its original manual as well as records of phone conversations with both Jobs and Wozniak.
There's no estimate available ahead of the May 20 auction, but it will almost certainly clear $600,000.
Another one in similar condition (and displaying a signature from Wozniak) achieved $671,400 in 2013.

Fantastic wedding portrait — I bet Antti and Lucy really love this frame. I love that you included your assistant in the frame, his body language holding the light steady with the incoming storm adds to the energy from the happiness of the married couple. This frame is definitely not as good if you shot this tighter, his inclusion adds to the larger story you are sharing in your caption — and completes the Antti and Lucy's memory of this moment.

Q: Can I append additional parameters to an oauth url? I need to get data back when the oauth redirect returns from Twitter.  Is it possible to append additional parameters to the oauth URL?

A: Yes. You can set a callback_url with paramaters when you get a request token and when the user returns to the callback_url the parameters should still be there.

A: Each Twitter resource only accepts certain parameters. Required and optional parameters are listed on the Twitter OAuth resource pages. For example see Public Time line Resource

GOOD LUCK, MY BOHEMIAN STUNNERS! I'll pull a winner out the proverbial sunhat on MON 19 JUNE.

Wicklow drivers urged to slow down as six more people killed on our roads
By Wicklow Now 1st January 2020 No comment
Wicklow drivers have been urged to slow down and take more care after it was revealed that six more people lost theirs lives on our roads in 2019 compared to 2018.
Three people were killed on Wicklow roads in 2019.
A total of 148 people lost their lives in 2019, compared to 142 in 2018, a 4% rise – 2018 was the safest recorded year on Irish roads.
The 148 deaths were the result of 137 fatal crashes, compared to 142 lives lost in 135 fatal crashes in 2018.
"After recording the safest year on our roads in 2018 it is deeply saddening that not only have we lost 148 lives on the road in 2019, but that it represents an increase in road deaths," Liz O'Donnell, Chairperson of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) said .
"We must respond to this increase the same way we have responded to previous setbacks. Rather than being disheartened it should spur us and our road safety partners into renewed effort."
The figures were published by the RSA following an analysis of provisional fatal collision reports by An Garda Síochána.
Casualty figures for 2019 show that while there has been a sharp drop in pedestrian deaths, down 15 or 36%, and passenger deaths, down 4 or 20%, there has been a worrying increase in the number of drivers killed, up 25 or 45%, compared to 2018.
While there was one more motorcyclist death recorded in 2019 compared to 2018 (16 versus 15) an overall analysis of vulnerable road user (VRU) casualties shows that there was a 23% reduction in VRU fatalities.
