Q: minimax tic-tac-toe algorithm wrongly always puts the "X"or "O" in the next available place I am trying to create a tic-tac-toe game that responds to the player with the minimax algorithm. It is not working. It just puts the "X"or "O" in the next available place. (If 0,0 is is not null then it goes to 0,1 and then 0,2.) I do not understand why. What am I doing wrong?
The code:
public static int minimax( String[][] arr,String AI,String human,boolean turn) {
    if (end(arr))
    {
        String cheak = win_check(arr);
        return win_value(cheak,AI,human);
    }
    if (turn)
    {
        int best_score = -2;
        int score;
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            for (int f = 0; f < 3; f++)
            {
                {
                    if (arr[i][f] == "")
                    {
                        arr[i][f] = AI;
                        score = minimax(arr, AI, human, false);
                        arr[i][f] = "";
                        if ((best_score < score))
                        {
                            best_score = score;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return best_score;
    }
    //function that does the best move using the minimax algorithm
    public static void best_move (String arr [][],String AI,String human)
{
 int move_score;
 int best_move_score = -2;
 int moves [] =new int[2];
 for (int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
 {
     for (int f=0;f<arr.length;f++)
     {
         if(arr[i][f] == "")
         {
             move_score = minimax(arr,AI,human,true);
             if(move_score>best_move_score)
             {
                 best_move_score = move_score;
                 moves[0] = i;
                 moves[1]= f;
             }
         }
     }
 }

Armstrong Ceilings help bring a new lease of life to a tired office building
The redevelopment of central London offices features metal and mineral systems.
A mix of metal and mineral systems from Armstrong Ceilings has helped to transform a tired office block opposite Victoria station in London into a stunning mixed-use building.
First-time Armstrong specifiers MAX architects specified them to differentiate from the more traditional Category A fit-outs elsewhere in the Victoria regeneration area, as well as for their high quality and flexibility.
Armstrong's perforated metal D-Clip island or floating ceilings in RAL 9022 (pearl light grey), a modern and modular absorber solution for exposed concrete ceilings, feature on all six office floors (11,000m²), while white mineral Ultima+ 600mm x 600mm boards in an exposed 24mm grid were used in the back-of-house areas.
The redevelopment of 25 Wilton Road for client Royal London Asset Management has raised the bar by delivering a refurbishment project that performs both commercially and functionally in the same way as a prime commercial new-build.
At the same time as retaining the post-tensioned concrete frame of the structure, the project incorporates three new lightweight steel floors of 14 high-quality rental apartments (4,000m²) into a building previously used exclusively for commercial purposes, leading to social and environmental benefits for the area.
What was then Parnell House was completed in 1995 but while structurally sound it was underperforming at £35/ft2 and with leases coming up, MAX were asked to take a look at the building. Once fully let it will have increased in capital value threefold or by 271 per cent once the £38 million project costs have been taken into account.
While the existing concrete structure has been retained, bold new articulated facades transform the building's relationship with its strategic location. It appears to subtly transform as one moves around it, revealing a depth of facade through striking cobalt-blue folds.
The 'fanned' bays, along with the infill of the six floors of existing atria, considerably increase the lettable area and the light levels within a new set of highly-flexible and efficient office floor plates. Ground-level retail, café and lobby spaces enliven the streetscape.
MAX architect Ashley Gilbert said:
"The scheme set out to provide prime grade flexible office space designed to appeal to a wide range of user profiles. The idea was to differentiate the space from the more traditional Category A fit-outs being delivered elsewhere within the wider Victoria regeneration area. The high quality and flexibility of the Armstrong metal D-Clip island ceiling allowed us to accomplish this.
"The office floorplates employ an innovative hybrid system, running conventional services around a perimeter racetrack of perforated aluminium suspended ceiling tiles. At the same time, the approach carefully reveals a select palette of visible services in areas of exposed ceiling, where the original post-tensioned slabs are exposed and used to provide 3.3m floor-to-ceiling heights."
The Armstrong ceilings were installed for main contractor Kier, who replaced all of the M&E systems in the building, by specialist sub-contractor Roskel Contracts who had a team of up to 20 operatives on site for 11 months. The Ultima+ board tiles are Cradle to Cradle™ certified and perform to Sound Absorption Class A with 87 per cent light reflectance.
The Armstrong galvanised metal D-Clip system, which features sound absorption levels of up to 0.45αw through an acoustic fleece inlay, was a new one to them.
Armstrong solution design manager Nick Harper explained:
"The original design intent from the architect was to create multiple metal rafts which would span across the whole ceiling within the office spaces to help cover up the exposed soffit and any M&E services.
"Numerous discussions and design proposals had been put forward with the ceiling options swaying towards either F-H 600 panels, D-H 700 hook-on metal rafts or D-Clip clip-in metal rafts. Due to the number of services behind the rafts, which required regular access, it was decided that the D-Clip system would be best suited for this application. This was due to the fact that the panels can swing down on the grid without having to fully remove the panels and bring them down to the ground.
"Another advantage to this system is that the grid is almost completely hidden behind the ceiling panels. The only visible grid would be the threaded rods to the soffit"
Roskel Contracts' managing director Tony Partridge said:
"It was easy to construct once you understood the system. The tiles were very durable considering the amount of times they were removed for the M&E works. 95 per cent of them had to be removed immediately after fixing and reinstalled some months later, then approximately 25 per cent were taken out again and reinstalled."
Ashley Gilbert added:
"The design team was initially tasked with creating initiatives to add value to the building through improvements to the landlord areas. Accordingly, the project started out as a circa £5 million light-touch refurbishment. However, we soon recognised the potential for increasing the volume and height of the building and adding a new residential use.
"The value created by introducing three floors of rental apartments on top of the existing structure fundamentally changed the development appraisal and enabled a comprehensive cut-and-carve of the existing office and commercial areas. The brief therefore evolved to include the creation of a prime office development and high-end apartments, as well as mixed-use space at street level, all to be delivered in a highly sustainable way. Leveraging a shift in attitudes to holding residential assets for the longer term, we created a horizontally-layered mixed-use building with residential above office and retail."
Matt Bird of Royal London Asset Management said:
"Our vision and collaborative approach with our architect, consultants and contractors has enabled us to deliver considerable added value and excellent returns on investment for our customers from a tired office building on a tight central London site. 25 Wilton Road adds another strong asset to RLAM's growing property portfolio.
"By re-using the existing structure, adding a new mix of uses and taking a creative architectural approach we have created a unique product in a thriving area of London, giving the building a new lease of life. At the same time, we have demonstrated our skill at maximising the value of our assets by being creative, ambitious and bringing together the right team."
The site of 25 Wilton Road was highly constrained, being sandwiched between two "red routes" (major central London roads on which stopping is normally prohibited) as well as two listed buildings. It is also surrounded by six Conservation Areas, had the Apollo Theatre as a neighbour and an operational pub on the ground floor, meaning the windows of time available for construction were highly restricted.

Article on udiscovermusic.com about Australia / New Zealand tour in May
Here's a write up from Paul Sexton at udiscovermusic.com about our upcoming tour
The article is online at:
http://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/cream-bloodline-continues-with-new-tour
The Music of Cream 50th Anniversary Tour, featuring members of the blues-rock band's dynasty with special guests, will tour in Australia and New Zealand in May and June. The line-up features Malcolm Bruce and Kofi Baker, sons of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker respectively; Eric Clapton's nephew Will Johns, also the son of famed producer Andy Johns; rock figurehead and former Deep Purple frontman Glenn Hughes and Grammy-nominated guitarist Robben Ford.
The show celebrates the 50th anniversary of Cream's all-too-brief heyday via the bloodlines of Messrs Bruce, Clapton and Baker. Malcolm Bruce began performing professionally at 16 and has played, and worked in the studio, with Clapton, Little Richard, Elton John and Dr John. He also performed and recorded many times with his father and was the musical director of last October's An Evening For Jack tribute show in London.
Kofi Baker made his performance debut with his father on live television when he was just six. He's played drums behind Bruce, Tom Jones and Steve Marriott and, with Ginger, formed a polyrhythmic powerhouse duo that played across Europe in the 1980s. He also played the Extreme Guitar Tour with Uli Jon Roth, Vinny Appice and Vinnie Moore.
Johns, as he remarks in the above clip, learned his first riff (for 'Crossroads') from his uncle Eric Clapton and has since played with Bruce, Joe Strummer, Ronnie Wood and Bill Wyman, releasing three albums of his own with the Will Johns Band. Coming from notable rock stock, he also counts George Harrison and Mick Fleetwood among his uncles.
More information about the tour can be found at www.musicofcream.com, and the dates are as follows:
23 May Melbourne Hamer Hall 25 May Sydney State Theatre 26 May Perth Concert Hall 29 MayBrisbane QPAC Concert Hall 31 May Wellington Opera House 1 June Christchurch Isaac Theatre Royal 2 June Auckland ASB Theatre

use a spare bar end and hammer on it until it plugs the spot, fixed!
Yeah. I agree with Rustin. I would be more concerned with other damage to the bike as well. The whole bike needs to be taken down to the frame and checked for cracks, especially at the steering head and the triple tree. As long as the repair is done correctly, i.e at a minimum dye checking the frame after the repair, you should be ok. No stunting for this bike .
Added a couple more close shots. There is definitely a crack above the hole but no crack that I can see on the weld. Thanks for the info guys. Not what I wanted to hear but I'm glad to know.
That should reduce the likelihood of future cracking and restore nearly all the strength.
As mentioned you'd want to stay as far as possible from the original weld but I think it could be repaired to the point of being 95% a LOT cheaper than replacing the frame.
On the other hand if there is full coverage insurance involved, maybe totaling it out and buying a new bike might be the best way to go.
I believe that frame is cast aluminum. From talking to some pretty knowledgeable aluminum welders at NASA... it wont really weld very well with the usual set-up because cast aluminum has a higher level of magnesium or something like that. If you still plan to ride it, I'd use a paint pen or marker to mark the ends of the cracks to see if they get worse over time. Hard cornering where the frame could be flexing should probably be avoided but just a fairly easy paced straight commute should be fine.
if you like to pop wheelies... no bueno.
if you cruise around easy youll be fine.
I'd just do a frame swap for peace of mind.
It's possible to weld cast aluminum but it isn't for the average welder and on a frame might not be good.
At the same time, that frame is overbuilt and I think unlikely to fail in a sudden catastrophic break. If the cracks don't migrate and you keep an eye on it, I bet it will be ok.
My thought is to ride it for a month or 2. If everything seems solid, then I would smooth out the radius of the hole and cut the craks out completely. Any sharp discontinuities are stress rises and possible starts of problems. Polish all that stuff out and since nothing moved before you should be ok.
I think I'm leaning this way.
You can buy the frame from a wreck, part out, or a blank from from the manufacturer.
Bondo will fix it right up. You'll never even know it's still there. Of course--> You'll need to "buff it out".
I had a small crack on a cast aluminum ZX6R frame TIG welded and it cracked in the same spot almost immediately. That frame is toast.
Well, it's a GSXR so.....best bet is to upgrade to a Ninja and call it a day.
Jk, everyone so far has given good advice and I have nothing else to add.
GL, and it was nice meeting you on Sunday.
Yeah, but they keep the rest of us from doing what you did.

Interview: INgrooves CEO Robb McDaniels On Acquisitions, Tunecore & The ONE Digital Platform
After the announcement that digital music distributor INgrooves had received a "significant" investment from Shamrock and extend its UMG partnership, I asked founder and CEO Robb McDaniels to share his plans in the face of increased competition from Tuncore and others.
The announcement stated that some funds will be used to "make strategic acquisitions". What kind of companies you are interested in?
"On the music side, we are looking at content aggregators and distributors with a particular focus on international repertoire. We will also be looking at a variety of technology companies that facilitate digital distribution and marketing of eBooks and music through applications and other innovative methods."
Tunecore and others are gaining users with a flat fee model and which encourage both the commoditization of digital music distribution and downward price pressure. How do you compete against Tunecore?
"Companies like Tunecore provide a wonderful service for unsigned bands that are interested in making their content available in a few select online storefronts. We are not opposed to a flat fee model for delivery of content only, in fact, we provide companies like Tunecore access to our ONE Digital platform to manage the delivery and administration of their content. ReverbNation is one example of a ONE Digital client utilizing the platform in this manner."
"Despite the potential cost efficiencies of the flat fee model, however, we have found that most independent labels and successful indie artists benefit from an expansive online and mobile distribution network, customized sales and marketing support, and dedicated product support to ensure that their art is properly represented in the digital world."
Can you explain the ONE Digital platform and share what functionality you will be adding with the new investment?
"The ONE Digital platform is our proprietary software platform that largely automates all media distribution and administrative functions on behalf of content owners. We continue to invest in improving the cost efficiency and flexibility of ONE Digital to help our partners to adapt to the dynamic online and mobile marketplace."
"This includes the ability to deliver content and update metadata and pricing at the click of a button to provide our clients with unparalleled transparency into each step of their digital supply chain and facilitate effective marketing and promotional campaigns to help maximize global sales."
What was the size of Shamrock's investment?
"While we are not disclosing the financial terms of the investment, we now have a significant opportunity to pursue our growth strategy in the music and eBook sector, which may include acquiring companies that own or control digital rights to content."

Michele Wee is the CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, Vietnam.
Looking at your early career decisions, how did you become a broker and how was your experience?
It wasn't planned. I was fresh out of school and fell into it. I had an interview with the bank to get a mortgage and needed a job so that the loan would be approved. The role was really fun and it was something I did for 8 years before joining Bloomberg just as e-Commerce was taking off in Asia. They hired me into their eFX Sales team, as part of their digital platform initiative which was a natural fit for a voice broker.
What have been some of the highlights of your career and what has enabled you to be successful?
I joined Bloomberg at a really exciting time and was part of the pioneer team that launched FX Gold in Asia. I did this role for two years and was offered a job at Deutsche Bank after a pitch I did to them which was again a timely move as I joined the original core team that launched AutoBahn into APAC. One thing led to another and I ended up being headhunted by Standard Chartered Bank who wanted to re-ignite their e-Commerce efforts. Both e-Commerce and FX as an asset class were growing exponentially so it was very much a "right place right time" situation. A global role from Singapore was a great jump in my career. I made sure that I was agile and open to taking up new challenges, and have been very lucky with the timing at each stage of my career.
What has been the toughest part of your career and how did you overcome it?
Joining Standard Chartered Bank was a big step up for me and it has been very challenging. It was at that point that I really started to think deeply about my value to the organisation as a leader. The toughest part of my career was going from a regional Director role in an established platform to a global Managing Director at a time when the bank was trying to change its business model. There was a very big change in culture and the way that I had to influence global stakeholders. I spent the first two years trying to understand the organisation and find my purpose. I had to learn on my feet, park my securities and never give up. I think it was my enate passion that got me through that period. I had a passion for the e-Commerce world and communicated it effectively. And with a lot of patience and some luck, I found a manager who truly understood me. This gave me even more confidence to do what I was hired to do.
What does diversity and inclusion mean to you as a leader and how do you promote it among the teams you lead?
Diversity is not just about gender but the diversity of thought and the inclusion of mindset. Inclusion is a choice and diversity is the effect.
I strongly believe in the importance of good people managers but also coaches and mentors. These don't have to be official mentors but just people who are there to provide you with little nuggets of information that you can digest and decide if you want to implement. Once you reach a certain level, it is no longer about growing yourself but growing others. When you get into a position where you are a hiring manager, you have a big responsibility and people look to you. I have found particularly good coaching topics include how to get balance, create presence, have influence and personal branding.
With mentoring in particular, female to female works really well although I have actually had a very good male coach who always creates a safe space. Coaches give you perspective. Family also gives you perspective and I have always taken inspiration from my children. Having children is your reminder of why you work so hard. When a child has a play date, there is a huge amount of diversity and they don't see anything but the individual.
What is your vision for SCB in Vietnam and what role will diversity and inclusion play?
Vietnam has some fantastic local talent and building upon my predecessor's work, we want to hire the best people, be agile and support our community. Vietnam is also very unique in it that the banking industry has a gender ratio of 70% being females. I was so pleasantly surprised during our first town hall to see what a great job we have done at hiring. We have re-written the people agenda with some tweaks and this includes mentoring some of our high potential successors.

Insurance: when too much diversification is barely enough
Peter Shadbolt
For insurers, allocation is a delicate art. The region's top investment officers at AXA and Sequis Life took us through the perils and pitfalls of balancing regional portfolios in challenging times.
In a world of negative real interest rates and rising inflation, how do insurers go about diversifying their public portfolios and what strategies do they adopt?
Muhamad Umar Johan Sidik CIO at Sequis Life and Boris Moutier, CIO, Japan and Asia, at AXA told AsianInvestor's Insurance Investment Virtual Forum how they recalibrate their portfolios at a time when inflation is driving down purchasing power and credit diversification is key.
"In general we see our investment portfolio to be optimally structured," Johan told the panel. "Taking diversification and costs into account, we are structured to avoid unnecessary taxes, while considering all legal and regulatory characteristics.
PRIVATE ASSETS
Muhamad Umar Johan Sidik,
Sequis Life
"In Sequis, our diversification in non-core portfolio – alternatives and private assets – has been underway for at least six or seven years so it's nothing new and we already have a clear picture of what we focus on.
He added that the Indonesian life insurer has been increasing allocation to private assets regularly, "particularly at a time when the long-term outlook for equity-bond strategies is considered challenging."
However, it does face challenges such as regulations that place limits on investment in offshore assets. In particular, Indonesian insurers – in terms of offshore assets - are limited to just 20% of their available investments.
"And we're only allowed to invest under two categories: mutual funds ETFs or direct participation. Outside these categories, it's either not allowed or the asset is extracted from calculations."
Boris Moutier, meanwhile, gave details about how AXA invest in private credit and how it monitors its risk threshold.
Boris Moutier, AXA
"Our approach for some time now is to work with carefully selected GP partners with whom we have a global and long-lasting relationships," he said.
He added that in terms of risk, this was heavily tested during the Covid crisis but overall the GPs that AXA works with had been successful in managing that risk.
"Risk is really (based on) the premise the good credit profile of this asset class – especially the covenants the GPs are able to obtain. Therefore the total risk appetite is driven by the total liquidity at the balance sheet level that we need to maintain and as well the fact that we remain selective in terms of GPs," he said.
While AXA has a global operation, it also invests significantly in the countries in which it operates. So how does AXA balance GP selection and local expertise with a global scalable presence?
"When you consider Asian private debt, we are discussing with local GPs with a local footprint and are more Asia-focused but so far at the end the traction is greater with global players," Moutier said.
"But one thing is sure at the end of the day that quite a few of these global players also have a strong local footprint in all our local Asian markets so clearly that gives us the comfort that they can leverage not only their global machinery but as well their local contacts."
Having long-lasting relationships with local corporates, many of which are family-owned, is critical in Asia, he said.
"And those guys have it."
SHOW STOPPERS
Echoing Johan's regulatory restraints, Moutier, when asked about public versus private access, said that various capital controls within the region could sometimes be what he termed a "show stopper".
"I can give the example of Thailand where when you go offshore in terms of credit it has to be investment grade," he said. "In terms of domestic credit, the set up opportunity is mostly still tilted towards public.
"It's not that the public corporate markets are necessarily cheap or diversified enough but this is where the access is available. I think the local markets will have to mature further so that significant allocation can be made into private.
"But I think that should remain a priority for all of us."

Naomi Granger, CPA, MBA, took a leap of faith and it paid off. And it's still paying off.
With more than 12 years of public accounting experience, working her way up the ranks to senior management at PwC, Granger wanted more. She wanted flexibility and ownership of her time and schedule. So, she started researching how to start a remote accounting practice.
The key? Honing in on one niche. And not just any niche. An industry she could really sink her teeth into.
She considered working with professional athletes or in real estate, but eventually settled on cannabis. Then she found Andrew Hunzicker late last summer.

I'm a details and rules guy, so I love how Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere books all interconnect and share characters. Totally geek out on that. And the cheesy Vampire costume was so great, Soooo much happened at the party, Harry's still paying for that one.

[Amazon] The Wheel of Time
levzloi replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
As far as the books go, 1-3 are somewhat formulaic hero fantasy, although he does reverse a number of tropes. They're good books, but Robert Jordan really hits his stride in 4-6 and they are anything but formulaic. Some people complain that the slowdown starts in 6, but the finale more than makes up for it in my opinion. 7-8 are a definite slowdown and suffer from plot bloat, but each has it's great moments. 9-10 are where the plot bloat is evident, they were supposed to be one book, as they happen simultaneously. Now, I'm a massive fan of what happens in the end of 9, that event has huge implications for the series, but it's kind of short, and getting to it is a bit frustrating. 10 is the other character's story-lines before the event at the end of 9, and then their reactions to it. Aside from Mat featuring in each of these books (he's always fun to read), it's not super exciting. 11 was Robert Jordan's final book that he completed himself, and honestly he does a great job getting things moving in the right direction after struggling the last few books. I consider it a really good book, and it's a shame it was his last. Robert Jordan died before he could finish, but he had already written the final chapter of the series, as well as about 200 pages of different scenes. He also dictated and left notes on most major plot points, how things were to happen etc. Harriet, (Jordan's widow and editor of the Wheel of Time) selected Brandon Sanderson to complete the series. As a superfan himself, he was torn about his ability to do the series justice, but decided that he was the least bad person to finish The Wheel of Time. There is a change in tone, as Brandon Sanderson did not attempt to copy Robert Jordan's style, and he admits that he never really found Mat's voice. So 12-14 are generally accepted by fans as great books, or at least "as good as we could hope for under the circumstances". I think they're great, and that Sanderson did an admirable job wrapping things up. So if you want to try again, read 1-6, if you can't make it through reading 7-10, listen to them on audiobook while driving or doing housework at 1.5 speed, then finish off by reading 11-14. I don't think you'll regret it. I hope you both and anyone else reading this gives the books a shot, or another shot as it may be. They're not perfect, and Robert Jordan had his flaws as a writer, but when it comes to worldbuilding he was a titan. There's a reason it's one of the best selling series of all time and that many fans are upset at Rafe for apparently wanting to rewrite it.
I'm lucky, I first picked it up in 2004 and only had to wait 9 years for the series to finish. THANK YOU!!! You're free to like it or not, but I agree, the show-runner shouldn't make modifying the story his priority. I suppose the guards could be Aes Saidai, but they were wearing different uniforms and I just checked, they were not wearing rings. But like I said, an all female guard force is a minor quibble, even if it's not book accurate, or real world accurate. I think is simply indicative of the bent the writers are going for, rather than being a major problem.

Spoilers on the ending of the finale and loooong (I took way longer on this than i should have, but I guess I've still got a lot to unpack about this series.). Spoilers on the nature of the One Power Spoilers on the Age of Legends Spoilers on how they could have handled a certain actor's absence
I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't like, I'm sure it's much easier to enjoy as a new viewer not attached to the books, but the story and characters have been changed significantly. Existing story-lines and character development that they could have used on the Emonds Field five was sacrificed for new material that largely didn't make any sense or difference in the long run. First season spoiler I personally feel the writing is the biggest issue, they seem to be going for the JJ Abrams "who cares if it makes sense, it'll look cool" style. Which is really geared to piss off detail oriented super fans like me, just as it already has in Star Trek and Star Wars. They have already casually done many things involving the one power that are explicitly impossible in the books, simply because that's the scene that they want on screen. As big as the book series is, and as important as the one power is to it's story progression, I can't see how this attitude of making up the rules as they go along isn't going to come back and bite them. They seem hell bent on rewriting it as they believe it should have been rather than actually adapting what is already on the pages. Anyway, just my two cents.
@sqidd, I know you've deleted your posts on this, but I felt I needed to offer somewhat of an apology. Although I still feel you jumped to conclusions on a very small sample size of 5 minutes of the first episode... and although I would continue to defend Robert Jordan's work in the Wheel of Time... you were absolutely right about the direction Rafe Judkins (the show-runner) was taking the Amazon adaptation of the Wheel of Time. He clearly wanted to insert his world view into Robert Jordan's world, and I can't emphasize enough how disappointed I am in the extremely heavy handed adaption we ended up with. So @sqidd you were right.
I'm going to be honest, I think you're tilting at windmills here. I think I know where you're coming from, everything put out in all forms of media over the last 20 years has increasingly been tailored to a particular political agenda that I largely disagree with. That being said (again don't want to get into politics here), I think you've formed an opinion on over 14000 pages of content by watching less than 5 minutes of a poorly edited episode of a made for TV adaptation. But that is completely your right, as is my God given right as a geek to tell you how wrong you are.
That's one place I will give them pretty extreme latitude, the ending of EOTW is really confusing. Several things were ret-coned out of the first book specifically, Moiraine's staff for instance. Honestly I'm not a big fan of the 2nd book, hopefully they will curtail almost all of the wandering around and just stick to the main plot points. I feel the series starts to find it's way in the 3rd book, Mat finally becomes an interesting character, and then Jordan hits it out of the park for the next three books, before the plot bloat begins to set in during the next four books, and finally he turned it around in 11 and Brandon Sanderson was the least bad choice to bring it home in 12-14. Obviously there are massive amounts of background material, secondary characters, bloat and story lines that can be cut re-arranged or merged without too much regret. My biggest issue is that the show-runners/Amazon/writers seem to be going with a little to much JJ Abrams "who cares if it makes sense, It looks cool!" I hated the first episode, but I understand how constrained they were by time and getting out of the two rivers, and I have to admit that their ham-handed use of tropes is useful for establishing characters and attitudes without to much exposition. I genuinely enjoyed 2-4 and I'm excited to see 5 tonight, so don't think they've completely botched it, however, the attention to detail and in world rules seems to be going by the wayside in favor of what they must feel is dramatic on screen and very hand-wavy with the rules. I think this season is just going to be like that, and I hope it's just studio interference that may be lessened in future seasons as the show-runners and producers who know the story might gain more power. But time will tell.
My personal feeling is that the point of the philosophy behind the books is that men and women are naturally different, complementary, and unequal (because who is equal?) There are plenty of reasons not to like any given series, and heaven knows they did a terrible job building the worlds foundation in that first episode (due largely to studio interference reportedly) but in my opinion you are reading way to much into the motivations behind a great sci fi/fantasy question. What if all the male magic users went insane and the women had to hunt them down?
I'm not going to say that the Showrunners won't take it that direction, they could, given today's society they are very likely to lean that direction. And I don't want to get this thread shut down for going political, so I'm not going to talk about that more. However the book the first season is based on, was written over 30 years ago, by a man, a Vietnam war vet, and I can tell you it's anything but sexist towards men. Simply because racism is portrayed in a work, doesn't make that work racist, by the same measure, simply because sexism is portrayed in a work, doesn't mean that work is sexist.

The Miss World crown is for Palesa Molefe – Emma Wareus
Events, Lifestyle, People
Miss Botswana jets offf to Puerto Rico
GOSEGO MOTSUMI
Before she jetted off to Puerto Rico for the Miss World stage, Emma Wareus said Botswana had the best bet for the Miss World crown in Palesa Molefe.
A former Miss Botswana herself and now a pageant mentor Wareus has to know what she was talking about. Speaking at a sponsorship ceremony in Gaborone recently, Wareus, who was placed first-runner up to Miss World 2010, said Palesa had all the qualities to win the coveted crown and title.
"I can confidently tell you that Palesa is not coming back home," she said. "I have worked with Miss World quite often over the past 10 years. I have chosen about four queens and every single time I chose a contestant she won. This year I am saying she is bringing it home."
Apart from her assertion that beauty is not limited to a set standard, Palesa has proved that a woman's value is not only in her intrinsic aesthetics. The Mochudi native walked into the national pageantry her authentic self backed by her brilliant creative skills and wit. Cast in the leading role in the Star drama series, she is a talented film and stage actress who oozes confidence and articulates her message well as a public speaker.
The new Miss Botswana is pursuing a project that focuses on children's mental health where she works with teachers. With the benefit of the physical, mental and social media preparations that she received at the Miss Botswana boot camp, Palesa has become a strong contender for the Miss World crown.
Wareus has emphasised the need for everyone to support her and reminded sponsors that it is important to come forward early and not at the end of a successful race. "I am who I am today because somebody believed in me," Wareus pointed out. "The last thing we want is for her to wear the crown and then everyone wants to rally behind her!
It was revealed at the sponsorship handover ceremony that Miss Botswana 2021/ 22 will not be driving off in a Mercedes Benz C200 as announced at the launch of last August. Instead Palesa will be getting a Golf 7 sponsorship from Magariland that will transport her during her reign. "We thought we should give the Queen a more funkier ride as opposed to the Mercedes Benz because she is young and the Golf 7 is best suited," said a member of the Miss Botswana Team, Massie Hule.
In addition to the car, Palesa received a cash prize of P100 000 which will be shared among the medical aid bill and monthly allowance, free housing during her reign and P25 000 worth of jewellery from Delmas Jewellery . She will also receive a premium membership at Jack's Gym for her entire reign, white label gift voucher (monthly scents), a hair sponsorship at The Makeover Place, yoga and spa treatment, dental care from Dental Suites, spa services from Fifi Fab and physio care from Ketshidile Physio Clinic.
Further, the queen recently explored Makgadikgadi Pans and the Okavango Delta with Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) for the Miss Botswana intro video which was shot for Miss World.

Busted Billy the broken cat who won hearts and minds in Plymouth has died
"Thank you so much for caring and we hope you will join us in remembering this very special cat"
Katie TimmsSenior Content Editor
A special cat who touched the hearts of people in Plymouth after a public appeal to help him, has sadly died.
The diabetic cat, fondly named Busted Billy, arrived at Gables Dogs & Cats Home "battered and broken" and members of the public were asked to help fund the specialist care he needed.
But the Plympton animal shelter has now announced the "amazing boy" passed away yesterday, Thursday, after he "suddenly went downhill".
It was said that Billy spent many lonely years "fending for himself in the wild" on the moors and arrived at the home "emaciated and covered in fleas" and with a matted and greasy coat.
He was initially believed to be around nine years old, but due to the horrendous state of his teeth and his poor body condition, staff at the pets' home lated believed he was closer to 14 years old.

A statement released by the shelter has thanked members of the public who donated to help Billy, which will now go to support other elderly and vulnerable animals in their care.
Staff have said they are "devastated" by the loss of their beloved Busted Billy.

A statement reads: "It is with great sadness that we have to report that our beloved Busted Billy has passed away. Despite our best efforts and one to one 24 hour care, he suddenly went downhill and lost his fight for life.
"Our vets did everything they could to try and save him and made sure he was comfortable throughout.
"We are all devastated as he was doing so well. In the short time we had the privilege of caring for him he made a real impact on our staff as he was a lovely sweet and affectionate cat.
"We would like to thank everyone who donated towards his care. Your support enabled us to give him the very best care, diet and specialist veterinary care he needed."
The statement adds: "Your donations will now help to support the other elderly and vulnerable animals we care for every day.
"Thank you so much for caring and we hope you will join us in remembering this very special cat."
More than £6,147.66 was raised for Billy on a Virgin Money page, out of a £2,000 target, which will now go to helping other animals in need.

Grosvenor and the community
Getting to know Bermondsey
Over the past three years we have spent a lot of time getting to know the area and the surrounding communities to help ensure that we have a good understanding of local needs and aspirations. This has influenced the content of the final proposals as reflected in the current planning application and related strategies. The programme of engagement has also included a wide range of activities including appointment of dedicated resources, support for locally run events, contributions to community projects, longer-term grant programmes, interim uses and regular communications from our Bermondsey team.
This is an ongoing process and we intend to continue working closely with the community to establish a long-term and meaningful partnership.
You can read more about our approach and some of the initiatives we have supported in our Statement of Community Involvement and Local Legacy Strategy, or by browsing below.

SEPTEMBER 2018 Grosvenor's Bermondsey Summer Fete will be returning to the Biscuit Factory on Sunday 2nd September
All proceeds from entertainment at this event, which is in its 4th year, will contribute to Bede House's fundraising efforts to raise money for the New Bede Centre (last year more than £1,000 was raised!)
Entertainment this year will include performances from:
- the Carragher Academy for Irish Dance
- 6-piece rock band Decks and Quartz
- a live theatre performance by Bard Buskers
- music from acoustic duo Dervla & Nils &
- singer-songwriter Sonya Titus.
There will be plenty of activities for kids including Victorian fairground games, face painting and Surrey Docks Farm Petting Zoo. There will also be stalls from The Blue Bermondsey BID, Big Local Works, Bell & Sons Butchers, Partizan Brewing, The Gnarbecue and many more...
JUNE 2018 We have recently teamed up with Surrey Docks Farm and Four Squares TRA to launch a free weekly growing group for local residents every Thursday from 4-6pm.
Growing Coordinator Kiloran, from Surrey Docks Farm, runs the group from the planter boxes, which are close to the sports pitches on Drummond Road (between New Place and Lockwood Square). We welcome all residents to grow their own vegetables, enjoy gardening and help green this communal area. No experience needed, just curiosity and a few ideas!
To welcome in summer, the Growing Group held a garden party on Saturday June 2nd at the raised beds. More than 50 local people got involved in some family-friendly gardening activities and had the chance to stroke animals that were visiting from the farm including ducklings, chicks, lambs and Keira the pony!
So far the growing group has planted wildlife-friendly flowers and experimented with companion planting (growing plants that support each other), for example the 'three sisters' companion planting trio of corn, beans and squash has been planted out and is already looking promising. Salad, root vegetables and tomatoes are all on the way, with space for more favourites.
Come down and visit the raised beds every Thursday 4-6pm and contact Kiloran at kiloran@surreydocksfarm.org.uk for any questions.
JUNE 2018 As part of our commitment to support local businesses and encourage enterprise, we are sponsoring an award for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) at the Southwark Business Excellence Awards. Despite being in its first year, the awards attracted 171 submissions from 122 different companies.
Grosvenor's panel of judges which included, Russell Dryden of the Bermondsey BID and Katherine and Andrew from the Bermondsey team, found the judging process extremely difficult given the high-calibre of all entrants. The winners were announced at the gala dinner on 21st June, and the winner of our category was Newington Communications, who demonstrated an ambitious company vision combined with a strong ethical approach.
MAY 2018 Through our community projects and partnerships over the last few years we have gained a good knowledge of Bermondsey and its communities; we know quite a lot now about local ambitions and needs.
Whilst we believe we have built up a level of understanding of the local community, it is vital to us that we further explore your experiences and priorities for the future so that the legacy of our investment in Bermondsey brings maximum benefit for local people. That is why we are working with Social Life, a Southwark based research institution, who you may have already seen in the local area asking people questions.
Social Life is an independent research organisation that works with residents and companies like us, to help understand local need and therefore build stronger communities. We have asked them to speak to local residents, young people, community organisations and traders about life in Bermondsey; focusing on current challenges and ambitions for the future. They will also be examining the social and economic conditions that residents face in relation to health, employment and education.
The study will help us to further improve our understanding of local needs and ensure that the key themes of our Legacy Strategy genuinely align with local priorities. The study will also prove to be useful to help measure the future success of social and economic benefits and the positive impact of our plans for Bermondsey.
If you want to be involved or simply want to find more about the research project then visit Social Life at hello@social-life.co or contact them on 020 7703 9630.
NOVEMBER 2017 Grosvenor has now submitted its planning application to Southwark Council for the former Peek Frean Biscuit Factory and Bermondsey Campus site.
This has now been validated and the plans and all supporting documents can be viewed here by entering reference number 17/AP/4088. Alternatively, we will be on hand with printed copies for you to look through on the following dates between 3 and 5pm in our Community Hall (100 Clements Road, SE16 4DG), and are happy to arrange other times by appointment if preferable:
Wednesday 6 December
The application is for up to 1,343 new purpose built homes for rent alongside a modern new 600-place secondary school, over 10,000 m² of new office space and c.10,000m² of retail, leisure, community and food and drink uses. These facilities would be integrated by over 20,000m² of new and improved streetscape, public realm and play space, reconnecting the new neighbourhood with its surrounding area. Overall the plans represent a £500m investment in Bermondsey by Grosvenor, will create c.2,500 jobs, provide a significant boost to local spending and help to revitalise Bermondsey and The Blue as a thriving local economy.
Please find a summary booklet here provides more information on our plans. The Statement of Community Involvement, which can be viewed here, provides details on the consultation process as well as a summary of the responses and feedback that we received.
Southwark Council has also now begun its statutory consultation process. We would encourage you to participate in this and provide your feedback in this final and important part of the process.
Thank you to everyone that has contributed their ideas and views throughout this process and which have helped to shape and inform our proposals. We look forward to continuing to work with the community over the coming months and years.
NOVEMBER 2017 Grosvenor's approach has always been long-term, with the aim of creating sustainable urban neighbourhoods with a strong sense of community.
We hope that investment of the scale we are proposing for Bermondsey, combined with Grosvenor's stewardship and active local involvement will create a catalyst for significant social and economic benefits in the wider neighbourhood, and the potential to improve the wellbeing of those living, working and learning locally.
To help ensure such benefits are realised and maximised over the long-term, we have developed a 'Local Legacy Strategy' which can be accessed here.
It is not an exhaustive proposal, instead seeking to capture Grosvenor's work to date, how the proposals support local needs, and our future potential role in the community, which will evolve as we continue to learn and seek input from local stakeholders.
You can provide feedback on the strategy document by contacting us at bermondsey@grosvenor.com.
NOVEMBER 2017 Grosvenor's planning application to Southwark Council for the former Peek Frean Biscuit Factory and Bermondsey Campus site has now been validated. All supporting documents can be viewed here by entering reference number 17/AP/4088.
Alternatively, we will be on hand with printed copies for you to look through on the following dates between 3 and 5pm in our Community Hall (100 Clements Road, SE16 4DG), and are happy to arrange other times by appointment if preferable:

Potential AG Pick Called NAACP 'Un-American' for 'Forcing Civil Rights'
Ronn BlitzerNov 17th, 2016, 11:02 am
Speculation is rampant as Donald Trump assembles his cabinet, with new names of potential White House officials being tossed around at a dizzying rate. But one name in particular is drawing some concern, given the position he's linked to.
Jeff Sessions has been a Trump supporter since the beginning. During the primary season, it seemed like Trump dropped Sessions' name in pretty much every speech he gave. So it's no surprise that the new President-elect is considering the Alabama Senator for a prominent role in his new administration. With talk that Sessions may be the new U.S. Attorney General, some racially charged remarks from his past are raising eyebrows.
The New York Times dug up testimony from when Sessions was up for a federal judge position. One attorney stated that Sessions regarded organizations like the ACLU and the NAACP "un-American" because they were "trying to force civil rights down the throats of people." Another attorney, who is black, said that Sessions once called him "boy." That same lawyer also recalled how Sessions once quipped that he didn't have a problem with the KKK "until I found out they smoked pot."
Sessions denied calling the man "boy," but did not refute the other allegations against him, including one where a prosecutor told Sessions that a judge called a white lawyer "a disgrace to his race" for representing black clients. Sessions supposedly responded, "maybe he is." Sessions responded to that allegation at a hearing, saying, "I recall a conversation in which that was mentioned … I do not know why I would have said that, and I certainly do not believe that." Sessions was ultimately denied the judgeship.
Granted, this was all 30 years ago, but it has caused alarm, given the prospect that the potential U.S. Attorney General may have problems with civil rights or whites representing minorities. It also adds fuel to the fire surrounding claims that white supremacists are infiltrating the White House, thanks to a flurry of accusations being hurled at Trump's newly-appointed chief strategist, former Breitbart executive Steve Bannon.
