In Zookeeper, the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes (Kevin James). Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find a more glamorous job. The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! To keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him the rules of courtship – animal style.

Our trained technicians can assist with all anything your HVAC System would and should need including twice-a-year tune-ups. Contact our team today and find out what 57 years in the heating and cooling business has taught us and how we'd like to share that knowledge with you.
You'll find the team here at Bill's Heating & Air Conditioning absolutely professional in their approach to our heating and cooling clients. The work is done with regard to the highest safety standards - you can rest assured that the installation. repair or maintenance of your home or business' central heating and air conditioning system will be done quickly, professionally, and safely.
Is your air conditioner not keeping you cool as it should? No problem, we can help out! But before you call us, take a look at these pointers.
Are both the indoor unit and the outdoor unit running? If not, check your circuit breakers. A brief power interruption or 'brown-out' can cause a trip.
When resetting a circuit breaker, first turn it all the way off, then back on. Some breakers may not look 'tripped' when in reality they are.
If the unit is running, but it's not cooling, check your air filters. An extremely dirty filter can block the air flow and cause the system to malfunction. Not only that but it can also increase operating costs dramatically!
Check your thermostat; if your blower is running constantly the fan switch on the thermostat may be in the 'fan-on' position. For the best humidity control and overall performance you should leave this switch in the 'auto' position.
Set your thermostat at the setting most comfortable to you, and leave it there. A heat pump does not operate like a conventional furnace. 'Juggling' the thermostat up and down will not save you money. In fact, it will increase your operating costs, because if you suddenly turn it up more than 2 degrees the auxiliary electric heat strips will kick on instantly. This action defeats the whole objective of a heat pump.
The coil on your outdoor heat pump unit will normally begin to frost over during cold weather operation. A sensor in the unit automatically stops the fan motor and reverses the flow of refrigerant to send hot Freon through the coil to de-ice it. You will see steam coming from the unit and water dripping below the unit. After the coil is de-iced, the fan will start up again automatically, and steam will fly! Don't be alarmed... this is all normal defrost operation.
If the fan motor doesn't start back up after defrosting, or if you see ice on the outdoor unit coil for more than 2 hours, turn your heat pump off immediately and call our team for a service.
If you need heating or cooling service or repair any time of year, don't wait. Don't be uncomfortable in your own home! Our reliable and experienced service techs can have you comfortable in no time at all! Call us or complete the Contact Us form below and we will get back to you ASAP! We are here to serve!

Reticent and revolutionary. Those words aren't often used to describe the same person, but Rei Kawakubo is an exception. RK radically changed the concept of avant-garde fashion by emphasizing the concept of fashion as art. Everyone knows Rei's work as a revolutionary fashion designer is being honored at this year's Met Gala. I can't say I wasn't surprised when I found out the theme for the gala given the polar oppositeness of Anna Wintour and Rei, but I was pleased. Rei's work deserves to be honored. I'm very intrigued to see the red carpet styles this year because I believe it will include avant-garde gowns and suits we could never even imagine.
Rei Kawakubo is the creative director of the multi-million dollar business Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market which she heads with her husband, Adrian Joffe. Rei has been in the industry since 1967 when she was a freelance stylist, but she began designing in 1969 under the label Comme des Garçons. The brand was extremely popular in Japan and soon became loved by the world.
This year's theme has me hopeful that the celebrities will bring their A game because I always get so disappointed when attendees decide to play it safe. I know their decisions are incredibly influenced by the infamous opinion of Anna, but I think she can have an appreciation for liberal looks. A Rei Kawakubo theme gives the perfect opportunity to experiment with the raw creativity her brand displays.
A fashionista fueled by coffee.

Q: Gravity and wrong size There was a problem with box2d. I wanted to add to the already existing game physics , but ran into problems. First, the game world I draw with calculation
public Hero(float x, float y, int width, int height) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;

    position = new Vector2(x, y);
    velocity = new Vector2(0, 0);
    acceleration = new Vector2(0, -420);
}

public void update(float delta){
    velocity.mulAdd(acceleration, delta);

    if(velocity.y < -200){
        velocity.y = -200;
    }

    position.mulAdd(velocity,delta);
}

public void onTap(){
    velocity.y = 140;
}

the body of the hero falls from the standard setting, but the body box that I have added to the test behaves very strangely.
Question number 1. Why box2d box more than a hero with this setting, but when I divide by two, it becomes similar to the size of the texture of the hero? May be linked such effekts so that the body is drawn based on the center in all directions 2. Why is the body in the world with gravity -420 falls continuously at the same speed, but not as much as my hero. How to achieve a similar effect it?
    hero = new Hero(30, midPointY, 18, 21);
    hero1 = new Box2Dhero(world, 90, midPointY, 18, 21);

Its box2d hero constructor
  public Box2Dhero(World world, float x, float y, int width, int height ) {

    bodyDef = new BodyDef();
    bodyDef.position.set(x,y);
    bodyDef.type = BodyDef.BodyType.DynamicBody;
    body = world.createBody(bodyDef);

    box = new PolygonShape();
    box.setAsBox(width,height);
    fixtureDef = new FixtureDef();
    fixtureDef.shape = box;
    body.createFixture(fixtureDef);
}

My GameWorld size
 float screenWidth = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
 float screenHeight = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
 float gameHeight = 385;
 float gameWidth = screenWidth / (screenHeight / gameHeight);

A: *

*Your observation about box being based on center with unit length in all directions is correct.
It should affect your comparison in the sense that origins of box2d's box and your box do not match. This effect should be relatively small.

*
*

*You are clamping your velocity in y direction to -200. Making such an assumption may not be a good idea for comparison. Finding a resource regarding what does box2d do would be a good idea (source perhaps).

*Most physics engines perform uniform time stepping to be deterministic. Box2D is one of them. You can read about uniform time stepping here.

There might be many more differences/optimizations, looking in source and comparing would be most efficient solution for you in my opinion.
Good luck.

Medicines and other beauty products take a long time to work on your skin. But these methods can help you get rid of pimples in a very short time. Acne and pimples are a problem only until you find the solution that works for you.
Ice Cubes: Using ice cubes can be a very effective way to dry out pimples in a day or two. Ice is used to push out all the extra oil and microbes from the affected region which helps in drying the pimple out. But it can be used only for acne or pimple that has not yet infected fully.
Method: Wrap a cube in a piece of cloth and apply it on the affected region for a few seconds. After a few minutes, repeat the process.
Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is a great way to get rid of pimples. The citrus works as a germicide and kills all the bacteria in the affected area, thus slowly healing the pimple. It also rids the pimple of all the extra oil.
Method: Apply some lemon juice to a cotton swab or bud and apply it in the affected area. This is a more direct method. You can also apply it by mixing with other ingredients like cinnamon powder.
Toothpaste: Toothpaste may sound like a weird remedy, but it works miraculously on pimple. It achieves the speediest result among other remedies.
Method: Apply toothpaste (not gel based) on the affected area and leave it overnight. Wash it off with cold water in the morning.
Steam: Steam actually has a lot of advantages for your skin. Reducing pimples is just one of them. It opens and clears up the pores of your skin and flushes out all the impurities.
Method: Fill a container with water and heat it to a high temperature. Let the steam come in contact with your face. Do not touch the hot water. After about half an hour, just rinse your face with warm water. Apply oil-free moisturizer.
Aloe Vera Gel: Like steam, aloe vera is exceptionally good for your skin, and it reduces zits. It cools your skin and rejuvenates it. Gel obtained directly from the tree is recommended, but if it's not available to you, there are a lot of options available in the market.
Method: Apply the gel in the affected area and let it rest for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse with water.
These are some of the ways by which pimples can be cured. But remember, prevention is always better than cure. So, prevent pimples by keeping your skin and your body clean of toxic materials. But if some pimples appear despite that, you now know what to do! Nothing can stop you from looking fabulous now. Check here for more.

Thousands support Texas gay teen suspended from school for wearing nail polish
By David Hudson December 7, 2020 at 9:12am · 1.9K shares · 55 comments
A post shared by Trevor Wilkinson (@trevormichae1)
Over 66,000 people have signed an electronic petition in support of a 17-year-old, gay student suspended from his school for wearing nail polish.
Trevor Wilkinson attends Clyde High School, near Abilene, in Texas. He says when he returned from Thanksgiving last Monday, he was called aside by a teacher. He was given an in-school suspension (ISS) and told his nail polish violated the school's dress code for male students.
The school handbook states boys cannot wear make-up or nail polish. However, Wilkinson, and many others, say this is discriminatory and sexist as it does not apply to female students.
"Imagine your school not allowing boys to paint their nails and giving boys iss for it. and the whole administration being okay with it, homophobic and sexist? welcome to west texas🤠" Wilkinson said in a tweet that day.

On Thursday, Wilkinson was informed by his Principal and Vice-Principal that he could choose to take classes remotely until January, go home and remove his nail polish, or keep the nail polish and remain suspended. He said he was choosing to keep his nail polish.
Wilkinson told KRBC-TV: "Ever since I came out I have been having more issues at Clyde than what I normally would. I really wasn't surprised that this was a thing. Clyde is very traditional."
Following his meeting with the Principal, Wilkinson launched a petition urging the school to change its policy. He is being supported by a local LGBTQ advocacy group, Abiline Pride Alliance, among others.
On the petition, Wilkinson said, "I am a gay male and I'm beyond proud. This is unjust and not okay. Help me show that it is okay to express yourself and that the identity that society wants to normalize is not okay. I am a human. I am valid. I should not get in trouble for having my nails done. Sign and share this so people like me don't have to ever deal with this again. It's time for a change and that time is now."

At the time of writing, over 66,000 have signed the petition.
On social media, Wilkinson is getting some high-profile support. Queer Eye's Bobby Berk tweeted, "Try maybe focusing on these kids education instead of their nails @clydecisd. I stand with you @trevvowilkinson … as I type this with painted nails Nail polish"

The school has issued a statement saying it does not normally change its dress code policy in the middle of a school year.
"The District conducts a diligent and thoughtful review of the dress code on an annual basis,' it said.
"That review process results in the development of a final dress code that is consistently implemented and enforced during the next school year.
"Parents and students are provided a copy of the dress code prior to the start of each new school year.
"Questions or concerns with the dress code are reviewed individually, and the District cannot share any information regarding a specific student.
"The District appreciates the feedback and input on this issue received from members of the community, and will take this into consideration when it conducts its annual review later this school year."

Wilkinson has been overwhelmed by the support he has received. Besides people signing the petition, others have directly contacted the school to complain about Wilkinson's suspension.
Again, thank you ALL for your support and i'm so happy that WE can all come together and make a much needed change not only in Texas, but everywhere!!! Y'all are amazing!❤❤ pic.twitter.com/s5loe1irQp
— trevvvv;) (@trevvowilkinson) December 6, 2020
On Instagram, he wrote: "Thank you everyone for your support. I cannot express that enough and I could not have gotten this far without you guys! I know a lot of you have called and emailed my school board – flooding their voicemails and inboxes.
"Thank you for standing alongside me to create change so that students like me can express ourselves in authentic ways in school and focus on our studies rather. As well as ending the gender norms that society has oppressed on us.
"Please continue to call and email but for those of you who want to challenge dangerous gender stereotypes you can join me in painting your nails and rocking them all over Texas and the country. Paint your nails and put #TeamTrevor !!"

He knew what the dress code was, whydidn't he petition for it to be changed before he broke the rules? Everyone wants a big dramatic event.. is he really going to ruin his school year for painted nails? I wonder what his parents think.

What a shock, this week's screename for the same old right wing troll ALWAYS defends the people attacking LGBTQ people.
December 7, 2020 at 10:12am
People like you are the reason these bullies continue to operate unabated. People like you are the reason gay kids kill themselves at an alarming rate. People like you are the reason we continue to fight people like you.
Here's the thing, rules are put in place for a reason, which is to try and keep order in the school. The parents and students are made aware of the dress code before the school year starts, so he knew this was against the rules. The school has a process to change the rules, but they don't do it mid-way through the school year. All this kid had to do was petittion for a change for next year, but instead he made it all about himself and made a much bigger deal than it actually is. If you read the mission statement of the petition, it's all about "me me me me me". He wanted the trouble.
Kieru
The freedoms you enjoy today as a member of the LGBTQ+ community were achieved not through patient petitioning, but through 'dramatic events' designed to shine a light so brightly on inequality that it could no longer be ignored. Legislative enactments came after.
You are concerned that this boy is ruining his school year over the choice to wear nail polish. Shouldn't you be more concerned that persons in authority are willing to ruin his school year because of something so inconsequential as the choice to paint ones nails?
You are, quite literally, blaming the victim here. He is a minor, he has no authority, no voice to affect change other than his willingness to violate unjust rules. And you're here arguing that because the rule exists it should be followed…
Under that same logic any gay person persecuted under sodomy laws was rightfully charged. A black person drinking from a 'whites only' fountain was the true criminal, not the law itself. And a Jewish person hiding from Nazis during the holocaust was a criminal. Because you know… a rule existed.
This isn't a war crime, it's a school dress code violation. No one is stopping him from wearing nail polish outside of school. The school stated there is a process to go through to change the rules at school that he should've just followed.
@Roy Ajax
How cute, you stated that the rules are there for a reason, but funny how you couldn't articulate what exact reason there was to suspend a student for doing something that many others are allowed to do.
We get it troll, the LGBTQ people are ALWAYS in the wrong and the bigots are always right in your world.
You're boring.
Maybe you didn't go to high school so let me explain. Schools have rules that are based on community and school board standards. This is done to try and keep order within the school, and try to maintain an environment condusive to studying for the students. To answer your question, the "exact reason there was to suspend a student for doing something that many others are allowed to do" is that he knowingly broke the rule against boys wearing nail polish. Rules aren't always fair, the girls are allowed to wear nail polish, the boys are not. If he really wanted to change this, he could petition the school, have the rule changed, and then happily wear colored nails.
canadiankid
@Roy Ajax you said "Schools have rules that are based on community and school board standards. This is done to try and keep order within the school, and try to maintain an environment condusive to studying for the students."
How does a boy wearing nail polish affect any of those things? You misspelled conducive too.
Conducive. In the vault now.
I'm not arguing that this rule is fair, I stated that not all rules are fair. Now he can go to the school board and argue to have the rule changed, and most likely win. That would've been a better way to gain respect from the board, rather than putting the school on blast online. Of course, if he does win and the board finds the rule is unfair, they can ban all nail polish for everyone.

MacAdvisor
Roy, let me introduce you to a Federal issue called, "standing." Roy, meet Standing, Standing meet Roy. Standing is the Federal requirement that one must have suffered an actual, addressable, present harm before one can sue for redress in Federal court. The complaint cannot be hypothetical or possible, it must be present and real. Thus, whether or not the young man complained about the nail polish ban ahead of time, he can't sue in Federal court to enforce his First Amendment Right to self-expression until he wears the polish. For the school to prevent him, they would have to show a lack of a ban of nail polish on men would somehow interfere with the proper order and operation of the school, a tall order when they permit it for women. Moreover, they would have to show the sex-based ban was based on more than sex stereotyping. I doubt the school can meet this burden. Thus, the young man has acted correctly. His rights were breached, he has stuck to his position, and the school will lose in court after spending money better spent advancing real educational goals. One doesn't get to breach Constitutional rights by saying one only reviews polices once per year. Once a breach of rights is brought to one's attention, that is the time for a review. The school is wrong and that will be shown soon enough.
I'm not talking about lawsuits, I'm talking about going to a High School board and having them change their rules. And based on your reply to liondash, below, you are basically agreeing with my stance that schools can apply dress-code rules.
Oh please! This is a stupid rule that should never have been in place. No need to wait to fight for what is right! And so what if it is about him? It is! Kind of like others pushing the bounds. They are the ones doing and fighting and not just sitting behind a keyboard complaining.
Sweetie, we get it, no matter what screename you are under, it's always the same. The LGBTQ person is always wrong.
Ya boring.
1.STUPID RULE. For Christ F'ing sakes, its just nail polish!! Not like he was walking around with some wild colorful wig and loud clothes on causing distractions. If anyone was distracted by his nails, they have a personal problem they need to address. Girls with big tits distract a ton of boys in H.S., but I have never seen big tits prohibited in school.
2.Claim that they don't change their "rules" in the middle of the year is ANOTHER STUPID RULE. Ajax, maybe it's this kids "rule" not to petition for change. Surely he the right to his own rules.
3.Ajax's claim that he should have petitioned first is worthless. Kids get the "rule book" on the first day of school. A bit too late to petition for change with a system that admits they won't change for a year.
4.I'm betting this same system "changed the rules mid year" when Covid hit. Granted, that is a medical crisis, but mid year change can happen and should happen when something is wrong.
5.To have even considered, adopted, and written this rule into place shows how narrow minded this school is. This might have been acceptable policy 40 years ago, but not today.

Are you really quoting a convicted murderer?
jgaustad
Like I understand that you think that a child has a responsibility to not upset bigots and that people creating sexist policies dont have the ability to go "oh this rule is dumb unproductive and only applied to some students let's not suspend this kid for no good reason" but ur wrong on both counts.
December 8, 2020 at 2:12am
Like literally what is forcing administrators to follow this bad policy? In what way is order disrupted if someone rubs a few brain cells together and says "oh wow so we're handing out punishments to feminine boys for doing something non disruptive that hurts nobody that seems bad"? Your premise is basically legalism lite- the kids in the wrong cause he broke a rule- but the reality is that civil disobedience has done more for marginalized peoples rights than polite requests. If a rule or law is unjust why shouldn't this kid call attention to it so the issue extends beyond his CLEARLY bigoted school district?
Two problems, if they allow women to wear polish they can sue for gender discrimination. And If school officials attempt to punish students who exercise their expressive rights by wearing buttons, writing on fingernails, or protest messages on shirts, etc., they could find themselves slapped with protected-speech or petition action lawsuits.

Go! I'm behind you 100%. This school has no right to tell you how to dress. Period. Xx
I appreciate your zeal, but you have gone a little far. Schools have the ability to tell students how to dress. School uniforms have been upheld and clothing that interferes with the proper order and operation of schools can be controlled. The famous Bong Hits for Jesus case, more accurately called Morse v. Frederick, 551 U.S. 393 (2007), makes clear the long arm schools have in controlling expression. That said, I think this ban sex-based ban on nail polish goes too far. Schools do, however, have some ability to tell students (and staff) how to dress.
montegutdude
Generally, schools can ban anything deemed disruptive to the learning environment. Certain slogans on tee shirts, certain hair colors, etc. are routinely not allowed. So these standards will vary state to state (what is disruptive in Alabama might not be an issue in California.) But as this is Texas, despite the petition, I wouldn't expect to see a gender nonconforming dress code there any time soon.
We should all support this Kid for his courage. Changing a School Policy like this is not going to be done by filling out some dumb form in triplicate, speaking up at school board meetings or sitting down with the Principle and Superintendent. The very statements issued by the school district show the resistance and tried and true bloated bureaucracy that moves slower than my 1986 AOL downloads. Change, real change, comes when you shine a spotlight on a outdated, unjust policy and bring public attention to bear.
Don't listen to the dullards who double-down on 'working with-in the system'. Systems that HAVE such policies are by their very nature inherently broken and won't change using their own glacially slow methods. This kid has already shown that to even get the school district to acknowledge the issue took dramatic action.
Trevor, you Go Gurl. Proud of you.

This sounds like a case for the ACLU and/or Lambda Legal. It seems clear that this policy is an unconstitutional policy that discriminates on the basis of sex.
Sue the school board and it will get their attention very quickly.

I wish the young man well. He's not asking for anything that would harm anyone or impede the school in any way. Standing up for what is right sometimes is disruptive. Confrontation makes us all think. Rosa Parks could have sat in the back of the bus and still got home on time. Yet, she felt she needed to make a point. Good for her, good for Trevor Wilkinson. He chooses to be a light instead of sitting in the dark. Regardless of how his case turns out – and this is Texas we're talking about – he made it a little better for the next kid. Bravo.
My rule is that I get to punch nazis in the face. They complain about the rule, but I pointed out I made the rule last year, so they have to wait until next year to complain about getting punched in the face.
cause we can only change rules once a year, right?
What is he going to do when he gets out in the world and tries for a job.they see his painted nail and dont come out and say so or dont hire him..or he dosent wear any nail polish gets a job goes to.work with them.painted…the boss says to wash it off or go home and dont come back until you.do..then what…there are always rules…
Except there are tons of workplaces out there that wouldn't care.
Do you think that every workplace has outdated 'Conservative' policies like his school board? Do you think he's going to want to work at a place that has such policies? What if he wants to work at a Gay Cultural Center? Youth Center? Nail Saloon? Hand Model? Maybe he'll get hired someplace that looks at his talent and skill sets more than his fingernails. Not everyone wants to be made from the same cookie cutter and not everyone wants to become another cog in a corporate machine.
The 'Old Standards' that made the country what it is today will not be the standards that carry us into the future. People who live by those Old Standards are stuck in the past and will never fit into the future.
There is, technically, no law that says one must go out and get a job. There are laws that require this kid to go to school. I'll give employers a little more leeway on how employees present themselves to paying customers because, in the end, the customer is actually the boss since it is their revenue the business is trying to get. That said, there are plenty of lenient places of employment or you can seek out a job where you do not contact the paying customers and therefore do not jeopardize the possible loss of income by offending some prude customer.
I'm all about kids learning to play by the rules, but I also want kids to learn to speak out when something is not fair. (Something most kids are excellent at recognizing and doing) I remember "rules" that didn't allow for being gay. Where would the LGBTQ community be today if nobody had spoke out against that rule?
It never ceases to amaze me what these school boards choose to fall on their swords for. A boy wearing nail polish?? So what? It's nail polish. It's not harmful to anyone; it's just an expression. What does normal mean anyway? Just let it go.
I remember back in the 60s when I was in high school and girls had to wear their skirts at a certain length. The authorities would make us kneel on the floor and if our skirt didn't touch the floor it meant the skirt was too short and we were sent home. I always conformed to the rules, which made me angry but I applauded the girls who didn't follow the rules. It made for some epic meltdowns. By the time I got out in 1964, none of the teachers cared enough to enforce the rules. It's a shame that a half century later schools are still trying to make kids conform.
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
It's 2020 there are no rules and good orderly discipline according to liberals what a shock
Except the right wing troll account can't explain how this guy wearing polish will somehow create chaos in schools.
I outlined the issue in the thread above when you first asked me to explain it to you. If you still don't understand then there is nothing else I can add. Maybe if you read it again very slowly you'll get what i'm saying.
Ajax, I'm with Cam on this. You still have not explained to me how a boy wearing nail polish would harm other's learning experience. I understand you said he shouldn't have broken any rule in place, no matter how wrong the rule is. This kid is obviously up against a group of backwards people who would likely have ignored any attempt to go thru the channels to change this rule. I'm betting there isn't even any channels in place to petition for change. My 60+ years of experience with people this backwards has been that they ain't gonna change for nobody because they think they know they are right.
Personally, I think his nails looked pretty cool. Much better than what some Goth girl would have on her nails. (Sorry Goth lovers, not my thing) It's truly sad that this system doesn't realize they have a chance to let this kid show the "straight" kids that in real life people are not all the same but that almost all of them are still good people.
No matter your screename you keep trying the same BS. When you can't defend your position, you always claim you already stated it, but for some reason can't say what you said.
The fact remains, that you are only on here to continually defend anybody who is attacking LGBTQ people.
Oh, and sweetie if you're going to respond to my comment, you may want to check and make sure you're still under the same screename that made the original comment.
Ooooops, the right wing troll messed up again!
It's Texas so bigotry is a big thing there.
willcutabitch
@Roy Ajax, you've skirted the question repeatedly. I'll repeat it. How does wearing nail polish create a non-conducive learning environment?
I haven't skirted the question. I'm not on the board that made that decision. I don't know what the town is like and I don't know what the people there are like. I can guess as to a few reasons but I could be way off. Can this kid become a victim of bullying because of the nails? Sure. Is that the problem? I don't know. The school might just have a very strict dress code, they can do that. Way back in the day I was sent home from high school for not wearing the proper school tie. My point is the rule is there, i'm not advocating for it or against it, but i'm saying that he knew it was a rule and he broke it then put the school on blast online, creating a giant stink when really it should've been dealt with between the school and the parents.
"Theabsolutetruth" implied that this rule was necessary for good orderly discipline. Cam posed the question how will this guy wearing nail polish somehow create chaos. You said that it was outlined in the thread above. Try again.
Cam's original question to me was why was the boy was disciplined butthe girls were not. I answered it saying that he broke the rules of his high school, but who knows why the rule is in place. His question to theabsolutetruth was a variation on the same, so i told him to re-read what I had written. His question is a bit loaded because if i answered it the way he wanted, no matter what the reply, he'd come back with "That is not valid" Again. I'm not saying I know the reason for the rule for this particular school… he broke it and they have a right to disciple him.
Except you're lying. My comment was, that in court cases, it has been seen as gender discrimination if for example, women can wear earrings but men can't.
But it's cute you have to lie to try to back up your non-point. Your only motivation is, anything that any LGBTQ person does is wrong, and you will always try to invent any excuse to defend whomever is attacking them.
Just like you did with the board.
Oh, and your comment that maybe the kid would get bullied for wearing nail polish and that was the board's motivation is EXACTLY the same argument used in the Middle East to keep women veiled, i.e. if they aren't veiled somebody might attack them.
So once again, thank you for proving how much in common the American Republican's have with radical religions worldwide.
Tombear
He should of worked within the system to change the rules. Less stress on everyone. He has lived in Texas his whole life and he knows what those Texans think about gay people. Change within the system!
Yeah, just like those black people shouldn't have protested against Jim Crow laws and for their civil rights. Work within the system, much less stress…….except for the victims.
Decades ago, girls were not allowed to wear pants to school. Any girl who wore pants was either suspended (pre-in-school suspension). Girls from multiple schools united and picked a day and just about every girl wore pants, Threw the district into a frenzy as they couldn't suspend all the girls. By the end of the day, the policy was changed. Dress codes are arbitrary and not enforced equally. We've had students of color sent home, suspended for their hair, girls sent home for wearing a tank top but not boys. When schools go towards uniforms they go the route of a gender-neutral uniform that both girls & boys can wear. There is no reason for the suspension except to enforced some gender stereotype. Schools would do best to return to education and leave the policing of fashion to Project Runway.

Yeah another gay kid asking to be more feminine. Why couldnt he be straight.
wooly101
Okay, let's allow the nails, what next a dress? Obviously the little queen is making it her moment. It is a rule good or bad yet a rule that has to be followed. We're just going to erase centuries of tradition now because one guy needs to wear nail polish to feel whole. Give me a break.
Centuries of tradition ….hmmm, you mean like women not being allowed to own property? Or Vote? Like Black people being slaves? Like Asian people only being allowed to immigrate to the U.S. to work, but no Asian woman being allowed to immigrate over with their husbands, like if a woman is raped her being forced to marry the rapist because she's now tainted?
Traditions like that?
whateverokok
There is no victim here. The kid broke the rules and got in trouble for it. It's not as like he was denied some fundamental right or anything. There is guaranteed right allowing men to wear to nail polish. Or even skirts for that matter. There are many places in life with a dress code. You cannot escape it. There are lots of things I find inane or stupid. Doesn't mean I can ignore and do what I want. Nor will ignoring it make it go away.
Except there ARE laws for equal treatment, and the laws have been upheld that if you say men can't wear earrings, women can't either.
So you know, there's the actual facts. Or we could go with what you said.
Please show us proof of where "… the laws have been upheld that if you say men can't wear earrings, women can't either."
I'm finding it hard to believe that's a "fact"

Alex was actually really good at that. I think he got Preston Smith for 2 or 3 offsides/encroachments when we played the Chiefs a couple years back. We got a few last year when he was playing too. We just haven't had a QB that knew how to take advantage of it and get a free play out of it like Rodgers consistently does.
There are many things Alex is good at. The guy has never gotten the pub he deserves. The reason is where he was drafted. But Smith was a very good QB. You notice I said was? Because he is done. No half body pictures will change that fact. Alex Smith was a hell of a QB. But his time is over. It is time to see what Haskins really is.

he has the best release I have seen on tape since Marino. So I dont know where you got the slow release stuff from?

I have to agree. His release is as quick as I have seen. His arm strength is excellent.
As as has been rehashed but are the only legitimate concerns are his footwork (very coach able) and can his game translate to the speed of the NFL.

IMO, the most important things are accuracy, arm strength, smarts, the ability to read a defense and make decisions quickly. He appears to have all of that.
Anything else after that is a bonus. If someone is a quick, shifty speedster like Russell Wilson, that's fantastic but it's not required.
You're right, footwork is coachable. And you seldom hear people talk about footwork for an NFL quarterback. If someone throws a pick, it's cause it was a bad decision, a bad throw or they didn't see the defender. It's not cause of footwork. All this other stuff people are talking about...IMO, whatever. Accuracy, arm strength, smarts, the ability to read a defense and make decisions quickly. Everything else is secondary.
Skinsinparadise
Footwork IMO is one of the bigger fundamentals. Some say Haskins' footwork is good, some say otherwise. I guess we will see. But I'd put it high on the check list. Heck accuracy in a timing based WCO is much about matching footwork to routes -- in any offense you have to reset your feet well on the move to maintain accuracy unless you are Mahomes. Footwork is prevalent in the soup IMO.
https://www.stack.com/a/tom-bradys-high-school-footwork-drill-laid-the-foundation-for-super-bowl-success
How Tom Brady's high school footwork drill laid the foundation for super bowl success
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/aug/31/washingtons-jake-browning-focuses-on-footwork-to-s/
For Browning, though, there's a certain satisfaction how he prepares his feet and how he studies the way other elite quarterbacks prepare theirs.
"Obviously, your drop and your footwork and all that is what sets you up (to make a throw)," he said. "It's something I feel I'm good at. It's something I work at and take pride in.
"Some of my worst games have been when my feet aren't 'alive' or staying buzzin' in the pocket," he added. "When you go through reads, your feet start to die. Your stride will change and you're not in rhythm."
Drew Brees is one NFL quarterback Browning studies often, because of Brees' precise passing – he holds the career NFL record for completion percentage at just under 67 percent – and for his less-appreciated footwork in the pocket. Brees, at 6 feet, 209 pounds, has a similar stature to the 6-2, 210-pound Browning, and neither are considered much of a running threat.
"Brees is pretty good at it, the footwork," Browning said. "He keeps a wide base, he's balanced. He has really active feet in the pocket, but he's not antsy. Some of those (NFL) guys you'd like to watch, but a guy like Aaron Rodgers – I'm just not born that way. He's doing whatever drop and then flicks it 70 yards."
Browning was not gifted with Aaron Rodgers' natural talent. Few are. Instead, one of Browning's best qualities is his dogged obsession with some of the most nuanced fundamentals of the position.
He said he spent time this summer trying to perfect his three-step drop, to better align the timing of his footwork and his wide receivers' route-running. The idea is for him to plant his right (back) foot just as the receiver starts the break in his route. Good footwork leads to good timing, which leads to accurate throws.
https://www.coursehero.com/file/p1rsjova/Peyton-Manning-spends-the-ɹrst-segment-of-every-practice-doing-basic-footwork/
Peyton Manning spends the first segment of every practice doing basic footwork drills—the kind they teach twelve-year-olds.

Coach, what attributes does Brees possess that separates him from other outstanding quarterbacks?
Like many of the great QBs, Brees has a strong arm. They all spend hours studying film of opponents and know every strength and weakness of the secondary they will face. Brees is particularly adept at identifying mismatches for his receivers. Before the snap, he has a good idea which receiver will be open, and because he has a quick release, he is able to get the ball out of his hands before the defensive line can pressure him. He is a master of getting his offensive linemen into the right pass protection scheme for the play that has been called.
What makes him special is that he has great footwork.

I thought you were being sarcastic at first when I read this but you aren't. A lot of bad throws happen because of bad footwork. A lot of good decisions are squandered because of bad footwork. If you care about timing in the offense and accuracy, you care about footwork. And even that is crazy simplified. But if you aren't hearing people who break down NFL QB play talk about footwork, time to find people who know what they're talking about.

I know we are getting close to preseason cause im starting to have day dreams of Haskins being the next Ben Rothlesburger too but some of you guys need to cool it and lower expectations just a bit. No matter how many twitter posts you throw up of Haskins saving puppys and benching 400 lbs with his shirt off he i still going to be a rookie at the end of the day. Lets give this kid time to grow. I'll be his toughest critic and i expect flashes of brilliance the same way Baker Mayfield & Mitchell Trubisky did their rookie years but I'm also expecting some subpar games where he will do some really dumb ****. Lets keep everything in reality fella's.
I see almost no Big Ben in Haskins, so I'm not sure where that comparison comes from. Coming out of college Ben was highly athletic for his huge size, had shown that he was great at moving outside the pocket when pressure got to him, avoiding defenders, and improvising when things broke down. Haskins doesn't really have any of that. He's a prototypical pure pocket passer who will likely thrive in a rhythm based offense where he uses his ability to read defenses, go through progressions, and get the ball out quickly to succeed (obviously there's nothing wrong with that...certainly worked well for Brady, Peyton, Brees, etc). He hasn't shown himself to be much of an improviser, he isn't a danger outside of the pocket, and his athleticism is poor. So yeah, he really isn't a Rothlesburger at all IMO. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
1 hour ago, Spaceman Spiff said:
I agree but my point was he clearly checks all those boxes in college. What we don't know is can he do it at this level. The game is so much faster.
Its the the same question for all college QBs coming to the NFL. What makes Haskins have a little bigger question mark is his lack of starts. He has not had to play against Ds that gave had an offseason to figure out what he likes and take him out of his comfort zone.
I am am in no way saying he can't do it. But it is a fair question until he plays.
I like young man. There are a lot of positives there.
HTTRDynasty
On the subject of Haskins' mechanics, here's a good breakdown from a guy who is clearly impressed with Haskins' footwork and throwing motion.
I was disappointed that he didn't show a throw when Haskins is under pressure, because that is the main knock on him when it comes to his mechanics. I think people need to make that distinction when discussing his mechanics/footwork, because he's actually very good there when kept clean.
JoeJacobyHOForRIOT
I don't know, I see the #7 , I see a Big strong armed pocket passer, I even feel like their throwing motion is a little similar, He just looks like him to me , body wise. Probably all stupid reasons and its just a personnel opinion as opposed to me trying to state some sort of fact. Clearly i don't possess your knowledge of game film and expert Collegiate QB breakdown ability but don't worry, If he bombs I'll probably be comparing him to Jamarcus Russell or proclaiming any moron could have seen this coming......
Just make sure you bookmark my Big Ben comparison so you can come back here in December and tell me what a idiot I am.
The footwork is more complicated, it's more about the synchronicity of his body when he moves, the fluidity of what his body can do when he's forced to move left or right. Haskins has worked on his footwork more than any 22 year old to ever live, no hyperbole. He's been working on, and excelling at, reading coverages since he was around 8.
He had doubters in the recruiting process until late, he slipped in the draft, he has been doubted because of his awkward movement since he was young, but he's always found success through his work ethic and undeniably elite traits.
49 minutes ago, ConnSKINS26 said:
Peyton & Brady are fanatics about their footwork - that's a big part of why they are able to get the ball to read 2 or 3 so quickly & accurately. Haskins is a fanatic about his as well, he just hasn't faced the pressures those guys did in college.
And you seldom hear people talk about footwork for an NFL quarterback. If someone throws a pick, it's cause it was a bad decision, a bad throw or they didn't see the defender. It's not cause of footwork. All this other stuff people are talking about...IMO, whatever. Accuracy, arm strength, smarts, the ability to read a defense and make decisions quickly. Everything else is secondary.
Depends on who you typically talk with. Kirks bad throws were frequently about his footwork. He faded back at times, his base would get wide rather than stepping in, he had some very awkward moments under pressure - he struggled with several things DH does.
Just about every QB's footwork falls off when under pressure.
We shouldn't start Haskins unless we know the OL can hold up.
We need an OTA's thread. Nice one-hander here by Trey...

It's been a long, long time since I've suspected we might actually have someone that not only has natural QB1 passing traits, but also a high grade defense-dissecting computer processor in his skull. I never felt that way about RG3 and neither did even the most optimistic people here--we just hoped he'd be such a freak and threaten defenses in so many different ways that it wouldn't matter.
Nah man. RGIII was the best QB prospect I ever watched. Better than Watson and Mayfield. Better than Haskins. Even a little bit better than Luck. He was a Heisman Trophy winner that outperformed Luck in 2011 and 2012. He was a brilliant passer and I remember a point during the 2011 season when he had more touchdown passes than incompletions. He had the talent to become what Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes are today. But great prospects get ruined all of the time. He suffered a serious injury and ended up with a horrible team and coaching situation. Many a prospect has failed due to those circumstances. OTOH Wilson and Mahomes stayed healthy and ended up on great teams with great coaching and management situations and thus they thrived and realized their potential.
Haskins is a blue chip prospect in his own right though. And the hope is that our organization has achieved some stability since the RGIII debacle and that Haskins is walking into a much better situation than RGIII had. And hopefully he stays healthy. He shouldn't get hit as often or as hard as RGIII did. He is much more careful whereas RGIII was fearless to the point of recklessness. But you can never predict health or injury. All it takes is one really bad step to alter careers.

Agreed. I think there's the occasional revisionist history here sometimes when it comes to RG3. He was legitimately an excellent QB prospect who had the tools to become a great NFL player: smart, very accurate, great arm, superior athleticism. And it looked like he was headed in that direction. However, his career was unfortunately ruined by a number of factors, including what you mention here as well as failings on his end.
Haskins is almost the polar opposite of what RG3 was as far as his strengths as a prospect. The exception being the arm as they both have top arms (though RG3's could be argued as elite).
...ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins' future was on display Monday.
During a workout, it looked like this: Quarterback Dwayne Haskins, taking a snap from under center, rolling to his right and stopping to throw a deep out to the left side with the receiver (Monday it was Cam Sims) catching it in stride. The presence. The big arm. The ease of the throw. Haskins is already displaying the traits that led him to be the 15th pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
The present, though, could look like this: Case Keenum, a smaller, physically less-gifted passer making smart throws here and there and mixing in a deep ball. One deep pass Monday hung up and was defended, but his ability to move was evident and it's hard to fully appreciate what his improvisation skills and experience will mean come September.

RG3 was a narcissistic head case who wasn't a "Team Player" and resisted coaching..He considered himself a NFL QB on day 1. THAT poisoned the well with teammates and coaches. Had he taken himself out after the Baltimore game, WATCHED FILM and LISTENED..he would still be a Skins QB and Top Tier.
Yea, Dan contributed/Caused RG3's corruption..so did his Dad and Briles..
I don't see that in Mahones,Wilson, Luck...etc. RG3 was bigger than the game in his mind.
Nuances of the sophisticated protection & how DH opened the zone he wanted to hit are football porn. We can talk about the subtle things done by the TE & T to help this protection if anyone cares to, but I've marked up a few screenshots from this YouTube clip on my iPad to highlight a bit of it.
This was his best throw of the year, imo, but it was sandwiched by two of his worst.

NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett, 40, calls time on career after 21 seasons
http://str.sg/4Nop
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett is calling time on his National Basketball Association (NBA) career after 21 seasons, posting a video on Instagram saying "farewell" and "thank you" to fans who have backed him since 1995.
He posted the video on Friday amid reports he and the Timberwolves had reached a deal on a buyout of his US$8 million (S$10.87 million) contract for the upcoming season.
The 40-year-old departs as the most productive player in the history of the Timberwolves, where he spent 13 1/2 of his 21 seasons.
"I'm just thankful. I can't even put that into words," he says in the moody video that shows him alone in Minnesota's Target Center arena.
"I'm just thankful. I'm just thankful for everybody and the love. I never would have thought that people love me like this," he adds in the video, which ends with the words "Farewell" and "Thank you for the journey" on the screen.
A post shared by Kevin Garnett (@tic_pix) on Sep 23, 2016 at 2:42pm PDT
Garnett was drafted out of high school in 1995 and became one of the top power forwards in league history, helping make the long-suffering Timberwolves into play-off contenders.
He was the first player in two decades to go straight from high school to the NBA, and his success paved the way for similar moves by Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Tracy McGrady.
In departing, he follows long-tenured veterans Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan out of the NBA.
The 15-time All-Star ranks 17th with 26,071 career points, ninth in career rebounds with 14,662 and 17th in blocked shots with 2,037 and was the league Most Valuable Player in 2004.
Known for his intensity and his meticulous training habits, Garnett is one of five players to log at least 50,000 NBA game minutes.
Traded from the Timberwolves to the Boston Celtics in 2007, he won a title with the Celtics in 2008 when he was named Defensive Player of the Year.
He returned to Minnesota in February 2015 and averaged 3.2 points and 3.9 rebounds in 38 games last season while battling injuries.
He also mentored rising star Karl-Anthony Towns as he provided a veteran presence on a young Minnesota team.
"It has been a real joy to watch KG come into the league as a young man and watch him develop his skills to become one of the very best in the NBA," said Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor. "I have treasured the opportunity to see him grow as a leader. I wish him continued success in the next chapter of his life. His Minnesota fans will always cherish the memories he has provided."
The news comes with the Timberwolves' first training camp under coach Tom Thibodeau set to begin on Tuesday.
Minnesota's Spanish guard Ricky Rubio was among the players using social media to pay tribute to Garnett.
"Thank you KG!!" Rubio said in an Instagram post. "Hands down one of the best to ever play this game. I learned what hard work really means. Great team-mate. It was a dream come true to play next to you."

Your Guide to the Best Shows to See in New York
At the Kitchen, two new video installations by Charles Atlas – 2003 and The Years (both 2018) – consider the way particular moments in time are registered in film, through found footage from television in 2003 overlaid with video portraits of Atlas's peers (Eileen Myles, Yvonne Rainer, etc.), or re-imagined in some projected future, in The Years. Atlas has long been interested in reception, nostalgia and the plurality of presents – as well as queer futures – that compose our experience. See, for example, his much loved 2015 exhibition at Luhring Augustine, 'The Waning of Justice', which featured drag performer Lady Bunny in lengthy, freewheeling monologue about the grim state of the present. (Had she known of what was to come only a year later! Or did she?) In these new works, Atlas once again presents a colourful, candid, decidedly queer take on our image-clogged political and social universe, beginning with the year President George W. Bush dragged us into Iraq and ending in a 'video graveyard' in the distant future. Atlas has also programmed a concurrent variety programme at the Kitchen, 'The Kitchen Follies' (3–12 May), featuring the filmmaker's new and long-time collaborators. Composer Jodi Melnick and performer Julianna Barwick will present a new collaborative work, as will Laurie Berg and the Illustrious Blacks (3–5 May only). Atlas, who has always worked in concert with artists and communities, both directly and indirectly, has held up a world of art (contra 'the art world') for decades – bringing together elements of nightlife, poetry, dance, music and drag into one glittering New York shindig. Whatever the future holds, we can at least take some comfort in living in a present alongside Charles Atlas.

Russia to Take Part in All Thailand Military Tenders - Federal Service

Russia continues to cooperate with Thailand, which is Russia's longest-running partner in the region.
BANGKOK (Sputnik) – Russia intends to take part in all tenders announced by Thailand on military equipment purchases, Mikhail Petukhov, a deputy director of Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), told Sputnik.
"In September, the Thai side announced a tender for supplies of attack helicopters. Rosoboronexport [state-owned arms exporter] is participating in this tender with Ka-52 and Mi-35M helicopters," Petukhov said on the sidelines of the Thailand Defense & Security exhibition.
At the same time, Russia and Thailand have signed a contract on the supply of two Mi-17V-5 helicopters, an agreement on supplying a batch of such aircraft may be reached later.
"In September 2017, a contract was signed on supplying two Mi-17V-5 helicopters to the Royal Thai Army. [Supply] of a batch of aircraft could be under discussion in the future," he said.
The Ka-52 Alligator is a highly maneuverable reconnaissance and combat helicopter, equipped with powerful offensive weapons, suitable for takeoff and landing in hot climates and mountainous terrains and easy to service.

Russia Exports Mi-28NE Helicopters With Newest Defense Systems for 1st Time
The Mi-35M multirole attack helicopter is a modified version of the Mi-24V helicopter developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, and has been produced by Russia's Rostvertol plant since 2005.
The Thailand Defense & Security exhibition kicked off on Monday and will last through Thursday.
This year marks 120 years of diplomatic relations between Russia and Thailand.
Earlier this year, while meeting with Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rusia "was interested in developing multi-pronged cooperation with the country."
Weapon Deliveries to Southeast Asia
Rosoboronexport arms exporter's External Relations Chief Viktor Brakunov, in his turn, said that Russia expected an increasing defense industry cooperation with Southeast Asian countries.
He pointed out that Russia was actively developing defense industry cooperation with Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.
According to Brakunov, Indonesia is going to continue purchasing Russia's BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles.
"Indonesian Defense Ministry's leadership and the command of the Marine Corps greatly appreciate the technical and performance characteristics of the delivered BMP-3F vehicles, there is an [Indonesian] intention to continue purchasing these military vehicles," Brakunov said.
The first batch of 17 BMP-3F vehicles was delivered to Indonesia in November 2010 under the $1-billion contract signed in September 2007. In May 2013, Moscow and Jakarta signed a new contract on delivering 37 infantry fighting vehicles, which was implemented in 2014.
