The History and Origins of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
the history and origins of the russia ukraine conflict
by EU Reporter December 24, 2022 0 Comment
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a territorial dispute between the two countries, which began in 2014. It has been ongoing since then and has caused multiple casualties. This section contains information about the history of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict as well as its origins. The origins of this conflict can be traced back to the late 1800s when Ukraine was under the Russian Empire. In 1991, Ukraine became an independent state and established a new constitution. However, as time went on, Ukraine became more politically unstable and eventually led to a civil war in 2014. Russia intervened in this conflict by annexing Crimea and supporting pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine with weapons, ammunition and troops.
What Happened in Ukraine to Make the Russians Invade?
The Ukrainian people were tired of the corruption and bribery and wanted a more democratic system. In 2004, they elected a president who was pro-Russian and he was supposed to be the first step towards democracy. The Ukrainian people are not ethnically Russian but they share many cultural similarities with Russia. The Russian people had been under Soviet rule for many years and when Ukraine became independent, there was some tension between the two countries. This tension increased when Ukraine declared itself to be an independent nation in 1991.
In 2013, President Yanukovych decided to reject an agreement with the European Union that would have brought Ukraine closer to Western Europe, instead opting for closer ties with Russia. This decision angered many Ukrainians who felt that their president had betrayed their country's independence by allying himself too closely with Russia. In response to this decision from their president, Ukrainians took to the streets in protest, demanding that he resign from his position as president of Ukraine because he had violated the oath he swore.
The Culture War Between Ukraine and Russia
The culture war between Ukraine and Russia is a result of the cultural differences between the two nations. The culture war is not just limited to the people but also extends to their beliefs, values, and way of life. Ukraine's culture is influenced by their past as a Soviet republic. They have a strong sense of nationalism and value freedom over everything else. Ukraine has been independent for only 23 years which has led to them being more invested in their national identity than Russia.

Will office renters have favourable market conditions in 2023?
"You will never stand alone," Biden assures Zelensky
Russia on the other hand was formed in 1991 when it became an independent nation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This has led to Russia's culture being more influenced by Western Europe than Eastern Europe because they were under that sphere of influence for centuries before 1991. These differences in culture have led to many clashes between the two nations with Ukraine trying to maintain its independence while Russia tries to exert its power over Ukraine and bring it back into its fold as a Russian territory (their sphere of influence).
What's Next for Ukraine after the Russian Invasion?
Russia has invaded Eastern Ukraine, and the country is now in a state of war. The future of Ukraine is unclear, but there are some predictions about what could happen to the country in the near future. The first prediction is that Russia will tighten its grip on Eastern Ukraine. Russia has already taken over part of the country and it may try to take over more territory in order to weaken Ukrainian sovereignty.
If this happens, Ukraine will be too weak to resist Russian aggression and it will lose more territory. Another prediction is that Russia will attempt to annex Eastern Ukraine as a new region called New Russia. This would mean that Russia would not only invade Eastern Ukraine, but they would also try to take over Crimea as well. If this happens, both regions would be under Russian control and they would no longer be Ukrainian territories.

Home > Best Of > PERSPECTIVE> Ten Years Of Formula Drift Atlanta
PERSPECTIVE> Ten Years Of Formula Drift Atlanta
This past weekend at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, the Formula Drift Championship celebrated its Ten Year Anniversary. It's hard to believe that the sport of professional drifting has already been in existence in the United States for ten whole years! Crazy – it certainly doesn't feel like it's been ten years.
Over the past decade, there have been a ton of new faces in the traveling Formula D circus – new drivers, new photographers, new teams and sponsors, new models, and new fans. When the very first Formula Drift event was held at Road Atlanta back in 2004, drifting was very much new to the United States. Most people didn't even know what it was. Most of the drivers and teams were very grassroots in appearance; we certainly didn't see the big corporate event activations and sponsor logos that you find at Formula Drift events nowadays.
Many of the original drivers, models, and teams from the inaugural Formula Drift event in 2004 have moved on to pursue other things. However, there are still a few OG Formula Drift heads (like me) still around. Man, we're getting old!
This was one of the very first photos I ever took upon my initial arrival in Atlanta for the very first time in 2004. When I first arrived at the ATL airport, I linked up with one of my old school Toyota friends, an Atlanta resident named Dalton Hanley.
Since that trip was my first time in Atlanta, Dalton took me for a short tour of the city, and on our way to get dinner (Jamaican food – jerk chicken) I asked him to illegally park his car on a traffic-laden bridge just so I could grab this image.
I shot this image with my very first digital SLR – the Canon 10D, which had just come out not too long before I shot this image. I think I shot it with a garbage Sigma 17-35mm 2.8 lens (LOL – horrible), and my brand new Bogen Manfrotto tripod, which I still use to this day.
This past weekend's Formula D in Atlanta was well attended, as usual. The hillside surrounding Turns 10 and 11 were packed with lots of fans camping out and even barbecuing on in their campground areas. This is something unique to Road Atlanta – I just couldn't imagine fans being allowed to do this at racetracks on the west coast, like Laguna Seca, for instance. I think the risk of fire might be too great for the lawsuit fearing Californians; it's all good in Atlanta though! Nobody's worried about that stuff.
As I was shooting photos trackside at Road Atlanta, I began looking at Kenshiro Gushi's GReddy Scion FR-S as it returned from one of its runs. As I stared at Ken's car speeding into the pre-grid area, I started to think, "Man… Ken's come a really long way since the start of Formula Drift."
I've been friends with Ken Gushi ever since he first started drifting. It all started out because two of my friends, Go from Shinsengumi Ramen in Torrance and Kai Tsukiyama introduced me to Ken's dad, Tsukasa Gushi. Go was telling me that since I was so crazy about AE86s, I just had to meet his friend, Gushi san.
We drove out to San Gabriel Valley to visit Gushi san at his old shop, the original Gushi Auto on Mission and San Gabriel. That place was a humble shop, but it had plenty of spirit! And it had tons of AE86s and other old Toyotas and Nissans constantly parked there, getting serviced or engine swapped or whatever.
I remember chillin there with Gushi san, and Ken would come home from school and immediately begin wrenching on his first car, a champagne colored PS13 240SX coupe with an SR20DET that he swapped by himself, under the tutelage of his dad…
Ken's drifting career blossomed from his fearlessness in driving that old PS13 coupe. This is what Ken looked like 10 years ago at the very first Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta. Super young, and just out of high school. Actually, he might have still been in high school when this photo was taken?
Ken's PS13 had Rotora Brakes as its title sponsor. Since then, Rotora has gotten out of the drifting scene. I wonder what they're doing nowadays? I think the company is still around…? Anyway, this what Ken's drift car looked like at the inaugural Formula Drift event. Not very impressive when it comes to styling. I was never a big fan of the Bomex kit or the F1 style mirrors or the wheel sizing, but it didn't matter. Ken drove the pants off that thing, and eventually ended up becoming the first Formula D driver sponsored by Ford, with a factory backed Mustang. He eventually won a First Place trophy at Formula D Houston the following year in the Mustang, then went on to become the posterchild for Scion, with a full factory ride…
One of the things I like best about Formula Drift at Road Atlanta is how crazy and enthusiastic the fans are. Check out one of Gushi's early fans…
Nowadays, the Formula Drift fans in Atlanta are still enthusiastic as a mofo!
These guys know how to get rowdy too! This is always my favorite section of the ATL crowd… the Formula Drift hecklers and cheering squad, aka Team Rowdy. These guys know how to party, and they're all awesome. AND they all have awesome car style. You gotta see the cars they drive. Bad ass.
Without a doubt, one of the most successful privateers in today's Formula Drift Championship Series would have to be Vaughn Gittin Jr, driving the Monster Energy Ford Mustang.
JR has one of the most impressive booth activations and pit areas in Formula Drift, and his branding is on point. This guy definitely turned his drifting skills into a full time business, with tons of big dollar sponsors signing on to be part of the media/PR whirlwind that his team creates while on tour.
Lots of people were surprised as hell when JR announced that he'd be leaving his very first supporter, Falken Tire to join the Nitto Tire team this year.
Here's JR at Road Atlanta, sitting in the cockpit of his Ford Mustang RTR getting ready to run. Nowadays, this dude has the same type of confident, All-American image and sponsorship backing that many NASCAR teams have (or hope to have).
JR wasn't always like that, though. This is an early headshot of JR at the very first Formula Drift, in Atlanta back in 2004. At this time, he didn't have any sponsors, and was self funding his trips to compete in Formula D with his S13 Nissan Silvia. At the time, he was working in Washington DC doing IT stuff. Back in 2004, JR didn't have the reputation for drifting that he does nowadays. With no sponsors and no name, he was extremely hungry to prove himself to everyone.
At the time, JR didn't even have a tire sponsor. He was buying tires at a discount from Falken Tire, and just painted his S13 with the Falken Tire "Works Team" scheme to show support, and put their logos on in the "title sponsor" placement areas. I suppose it's a classic case of Act As If.
This type of thing doesn't work out for all people, but it worked out very very well for JR. His hard work and determination eventually got him the recognition that he always wanted, and because of this momentum, the sponsors started jumping aboard to be part of his program.
I used to hang out with JR and Team Falken a lot back then, and I flew out to Washington DC to do a late night shoot of his S13 for Modified Magazine, which was the first time his car had ever been featured in a major magazine.
Not too long after, I put his S13 on the cover of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine, which was also the first time his car had been on a national magazine cover. With all this great momentum, JR eventually got signed on to become a Team Falken pro driver, and they built him a Ford Mustang. The rest is history…
Another privateer who is just killing it on the business end of the Formula Drift Championship is Chris Forsberg. Everyone knows Forsberg's orange Z34 370Z. Chris has always done well driving a Nissan Z!
Check out how light Forsberg's Seibon Carbon fiber hood is – a member of his pit crew was actually running with the hood to catch Chris on the starting grid at Road Atlanta.
Just like his Drift Alliance teammate JR, Chris Forsberg also seems to have all the big sponsors as part of his program. Nos Energy Drink, AEM, Hankook, Nissan, and Seibon… While these companies might not pay the type of money JR's sponsors pay, these are all top names in the Formula Drift Series, and Chris does a great job representing them at all the events.
Back at the inaugural Formula Drift event in 2004, Forsberg was rocking this Z33 350Z, which used to be his street car until he blew the motor. Instead of buying another VQ 350Z engine, he swapped in an SR20DET motor and transmission because it was less expensive, and it was easy to make power with an SR, due to the huge aftermarket support for the engine.
Even back in those days, Forsberg has always had good car style. His Z33 350Z was definitely one of my favorite Formula D cars back in 2004, because of the aero kit, graphic placement, power, stance and wheels. I liked it so much that even as a beginning freelance photographer, I pitched it to Modified Magazine and negotiated my way into having them put my photos of his car on the cover of Modified – the first time Forsberg's Z ever got a magazine cover.
There aren't many drivers in today's Formula Drift Championship who are still driving the same kind of car that they started out in back in 2004. Taka Aono is an inspiration to all AE86 Corolla owners across the world, because he remains steadfast and loyal to his AE86 chassis… even though everyone else has moved on to newer cars.
With beefy Weir Performance LSD axles putting his Garrett turbo power down to the ground, Taka's AE86 is as brawny as they come!
Back in 2004, Taka was competing in Formula Drift with a very, very simple AE86. Look! It doesn't even look as if he had a full roll cage back then! Doing tandem with just a rear hoop?
Check it out though… Taka was running with a Blacktop 20V 4AG engine and 15 inch SSR Longchamps XR4 wheels back then. So awesome.
While roaming around Road Atlanta, I bumped into my old friend Blake Fuller from Braille Auto, while he was promoting his new company, GoPUCK Battery!
GoPUCK is a small, lightweight battery based on Braille Battery technology that can fully charge or power any USB powered device (iPhone, iPad, Droid, Kindle, USB Speakers, USB hard drive) on the go!
It was pretty ironic… when I found out the battery on Blake's iPhone was almost dead, because he hadn't been charging it all day, I just started laughing and making fun of him! "Dude. Aren't you the guy who makes the GoPUCK battery?! How on earth could YOUR phone be almost out of juice?! LMAO!" Blake laughed along with me, because he was running around all day and he didn't have a chance to plug his phone into a GoPUCK because he was busy letting everyone else try it out. Luckily for Blake, I had my fully charged GoPUCK on me so he could charge up his phone! LOL
Back in 2004 though, Blake Fuller wasn't promoting USB power devices. He was a driver in the Formula Drift Series, with his REAR WHEEL DRIVE DC2 Acura Integra!
If you're wondering how on earth he made his Integra RWD, Blake was using a Honda CRV drivetrain, with the front axles disconnected. As with any new type of swap, it wasn't without issues though. Late night at Formula D Atlanta, Blake was welding underneath his Integra because he had a problem with one of his axles.
Even though I've never really been into Hondas, I thought that having a RWD Integra in the Formula D series was sooo incredibly cool. Too bad this swap didn't really catch on. Can you imagine what it might be like if all the thousands of Honda kids around the USA were into drifting?! There would be A LOT more drifters competing, if even on the grassroots level.
I always loved seeing Blake's Integra doing donuts and countersteering, with tiresmoke coming out of the REAR of the car! You just never see this! So damn cool.
Last but not least, let's take a look at one of the original Formula Drift competition drivers since 2004 – Daijiro Yoshihara. Dai has always been a fan favorite because of his skill and consistency in high speed drifting. Or it might just be because of his cool hair? Here's a snap of Dai at the starting grid at Road Atlanta, all geared up to the hilt with safety equipment from Sparco.
All drifting fans recognize Dai's V8 powered Discount Tire S13 Silvia in the Formula Drift Championship.
Dai has been driving an S13 very well for a long, long time. Back in 2004, he had one of the best looking graphic schemes, piloting the SR20DET powered Pacific Rim Nissan Silvia owned by PacRim founder Jerry Tsai. Even in the first year of Formula Drift, Dai was definitely a force to be reckoned with. He achieved 2nd Place in overall points in 2004 – he was the only driver who could come close to Mopar's mighty Iceman, Samuel Hubinette, who swept almost every single podium with his Mopar Viper Competition Coupe.
To close out this post, here's a photo of me and Dai at the inaugural Formula Drift event back in 2004 at Road Atlanta. We've both done a lot in our careers since then. Dai has won lots of trophies and even the Formula D Championship, and I went on to publish the first hardcover book about Drifting, and become a founding member of the websites Speedhunters, Driving Line, and MotorMavens.
Our personalities haven't changed though – Dai and I are still the same guys we've always been. I still rock my favorite Kangol hat (shown in the photo). I still shoot photos of cars almost every single day. And I still love my AE86 (see my Cipher Garage "Eightysix" shirt in the photo) to this day. Dai still has funky hair; he's still killing it in the Formula Drift Series, and he's still a fan favorite. I wonder what the next ten years of drifting will bring…

Awesome write-up! The amount of money that has come into US drifting since 04 is a crazy. From privateer to top tier in ten years… Amazing.
Brian, EvoSteve, and Oliver: THANKS!!! Glad you guys dig it!
Hechtspeed: hell yeah, I can't wait!
Robert Caballes: yeahhh the amount of money in drifting right now is crazy, but it's NOTHING compared to Nascar, Indycar, ALMS, FIA GT, F1, etc. I hope it continues to grow!

Quite the retrospective!
Great trip down memory lane for sure, thanks for that.
Big Brian Fuller Fan!
Here's to the future!
Seriously, though, I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on what the next ten (or twenty) years of drifting might bring.

Defenders of Ted Heath Beware: You and I Know Nothing
I can't claim to have any conclusive answers about Ted Heath, but I - as everyone should - respect those alleged victims enough not to dismiss their claims on a hunch.
Brogan Morris
Freelance film and current affairs writer, Shamocracy co-founder
14/08/2015 07:22am BST | Updated August 6, 2016
Years after news first broke that something unseemly was afoot in Parliament, it appears the mainstream media and public-at-large are finally taking notice of the Westminster child sex abuse scandal. And the name that's changed it all is undoubtedly Sir Edward Heath's. During my research into my own article about the scandal, I found Heath's name kept coming up alongside some unbelievably high-profile ones, even if none of the accusations against the one-time PM could be verified. So, was I surprised when it was announced last week that Heath was included in the ongoing police investigation into child sex abuse, an investigation which includes 76 politicians both living and dead? No.
Does it shock me to learn that the number of police forces independently investigating Heath grows day by day (the number now totals seven), or that previous investigations into Heath were purportedly quashed, or that a number of alleged victims - including a friend of Sir Jimmy Savile's nephew - have come forward to claim they were abused by Heath? No. Am I surprised that presumptuous journalists are leaping to Heath's defence without any definitive evidence of their own? Absolutely not. Almost as though they've learned nothing from seeing former defenders of Savile and Cyril Smith go quiet when the allegations became too many to ignore, some are ridiculing the Heath investigation and putting their necks on the line for the former Prime Minister.
Last week, writers in The Telegraph and, somewhat surprisingly, the Guardian penned pieces defending Heath and his legacy. (Bizarrely, The Spectator also published an article repudiating any abuse claims, only this one was written by a convicted paedophile.) For The Telegraph's Dan Hodges, the "Edward Heath witch hunt" is almost "entertaining". Never mind the alleged victims, because for Hodges, the case is settled - "I don't think there are any victims of Edward Heath", he writes. Hodges rubbishes the notion that Heath's sailing trips were in any way inappropriate, without mentioning the fact that Heath would place ads in scouting magazines for boys to 'Join Uncle Ted on a trip of a lifetime' on his yacht.
The Guardian's Simon Jenkins isn't quite as cocksure, though he still agonises over the impact all this will have on Heath's reputation, as he argues that the "case against Edward Heath looks flimsy". Which is patently wrong: as the investigation snowballs, the NSPCC receives calls accusing Heath of abuse, his links to prominent paedophiles like Jimmy Savile and Peter Jaconelli are studied, and police prepare to take the investigation national. That Heath attended meetings held by the Paedophile Information Exchange appears most damning, however.
I can't claim to have any conclusive answers about Ted Heath, but I - as everyone should - respect those alleged victims enough not to dismiss their claims on a hunch. I don't take such stock in my opinion that I would assume I can tell when a potential victim (or in this case, victims) is or isn't lying. I understand Simon Jenkins's and Norman Tebbit's (who also wrote last week in the Telegraph) concern about defamation, but the fact is that Ted Heath died in 2005, a decade ago - I doubt the prospect of defamation troubles him too much anymore. The alleged victims, on the other hand, are still alive; if they're right, and Sir Edward Heath was part of a network that destroyed their childhood for the sake of personal satisfaction, then I'd rather a viciously sceptical media didn't give them second thoughts about coming forward.
People like Jenkins and Hodges are playing a potentially very foolish game, especially when their opinions are being aired so publicly. After the death of Jimmy Savile, friends and family came out in defence of his character; so too Leon Brittan. Now the allegations against both are so numerous, you'll find few to defend either man anymore. Now you can only assume the people who defended Savile because they 'knew him so well', or who considered the victims liars, are feeling distinctly embarrassed. This scandal has proven that one can speak too soon; it's proven that maybe you can never know anybody that well.

When I publish my processes as HTML, then, by default, I get a vertical list of diagrams/processes on the left hand side and the actual process on the right. The diagram list uses about 20-25% of the total width of my browser window.
Now I use rather short diagram names but have some large processes that don't fit in the window. Is it possible to customize the width of the diagram list for HTML Generation?
Thank you for your help. However sometimes I want to use both the diagram side bar for fast switching between processes and a wide process display at the same time.
Meanwhile I have done some research and modified the variables .large-3 and .large-9 in \libs\css\app.css which determine the width of the side bar and the main window. This helps for the moment but is some sort of hacking.

Changes to Driving While Intoxicated Enforcement
By MAS Law Firm
One of the Bills proposed were the changes to the driving while intoxicated proposition. Senate Bill 328 brought forth numerous changes to the Transportation Code, Alcoholic Beverage Code, and the Code of Criminal Procedure as far as intoxication offenses go. The Bill projected three radical changes, which include: (i) the expansion of police power for mandatory, warrantless blood tests; (ii) authorization of any licensed magistrate to issue blood warrants; and (iii) immunizations for health care professionals who draw blood. Adding to the controversy of deciding how far police power can be extended, the notorious ideas brought forth the expansion of scenarios in which police power/law enforcement can draw a warrantless blood sample for the mere reason of driving while intoxicated. S.B. 328 modified Section 724.017 of the Transportation Code to expand the idea of forced blood drawn if a person is arrested for an offense under Chapter 49 of the Penal Code involving the operation of a motor vehicle or watercraft, if the person refuses the officer's demand to willingly submit a blood examination, if an individual other than the person arrested had bodily injury involved and had to be hospitalized for medical treatment, the person is under arrest for DWI and has a child passenger present under the age of 15 years, or the officer had proven facts that a DWI has occurred as a second or third offense (with a passenger under the age of 15, intoxication assault, or intoxication manslaughter). With any of these crimes proposed the use of blood samples would be used.
Across the globe, the number of DWI suspects refusing the breath or blood examinations grows at a steady rate resulting in many jurisdictions to push the idea of, "No Refusal Weekends" in which law enforcement can obtain search warrants to conduct random blood tests of suspects that refuse to submit voluntarily. The heavy result of S.B. 328 amended Article 18.01, Code of Criminal Procedure which stated that any magistrate who is a licensed attorney in Texas has the power to issue a warrant for a blood test in an intoxication-related case only, if the person solely refuses to submit to a required examination involving breath test and/or blood samples. This matter draws a dispute amongst the Health Care profession in which the legal responsibility grows and the Hippocratic Oath could possibly be violated. In regards to the bill, some professionals have gone as far as to refuse blood tests even with court orders involved. The bill provides that the taking of a specimen from a person who objects or resists doe, not in itself constitute negligence, however, this does not translate to immunity from liability for negligence in taking a blood specimen.
House Bill 2730 made some minor changes to the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings and to driver's license surcharges. The bill requires amnesty on DPS surcharges for the indigent. Specifically, it allows the DPS to impose surcharges on drivers with multiple traffic violations or those with convictions of intoxication-related offenses. If such a person who is convicted, fails to pay the surcharge, this will result in license suspension. An estimate shows that 6 percent of Texas drivers owe a fee (surcharge) which most go unpaid. There are limitations to this proposal though, H.B. 2730 amended section 708.158 of the Transportation Code to affirm that DPS will waive all driver's license fees that concur to a person who is indigent. Along with this, DPS cannot suspend an individual's driver's license for more than 105 days from the date of assessment of a surcharge. The individual is entitled to three notices before a suspension takes place.

Q: When TableView's DataSource Array Changes, App Crashes I have an array of 5 items that is also used as the content for a tableview.  In the nib is a button that changes the content of the array to 5 different items.  When I click that button, however, the app crashes with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS.  I set a breakpoint on objc_exception _throw and had my suspicions confirmed.  The bad method is
- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)wordsTableView
objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)column
            row:(int)rowIndex
{
    return [[currentCard words] objectAtIndex:rowIndex];
}

currentCard is an instance of the GameCard class, and its array, words, is the array in question.  On first launch, it works fine, but if I try to change it, crash.
----------EDIT----------
In AppController's awakeFromNib: I have this
currentCard = [[GameCard alloc] init];

And in the button's IBAction, I have this:
[currentCard release];
currentCard = [[GameCard alloc] init];

With zombies enabled, when I click the button, I get this from GDB:
2009-06-22 18:55:03.368 25WordsMax[19761:813] *** -[CFArray objectAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x14ba00
referring to the data source method.  I've been trying to track down the memory bug for hours, but am missing it.
I got so frustrated I commented out every retain & release (no autoreleases) in the code and still get 2009-06-22 19:41:58.564 25WordsMax[21765:813] *** -[CFArray objectAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x14c330 when I hit the button.
And what is calling the datasource method? I'm not calling reloadData. If in my datasource method, I return @"A Word" for each row, everything runs fine. In GDB, I can even see my NSLogs printing the contents of the new array, all without a hitch. It's only when the datasource method as seen in the question gets called that any problems happen.

A:
2009-06-22 18:55:03.368 25WordsMax[19761:813] *** -[CFArray objectAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x14ba00

Read that carefully. The receiver was an instance of CFArray, and the message selector was objectAtIndex:.
The deallocated instance was an array, not a game card.
Your game card owns the array, so it must retain it in some way. This means you must either:

*

*Create the array using alloc and init (and not autorelease it).

*Retain it.

*Make its own copy. (Preferable if you're receiving an array from another object, as in your setter, since the array you receive may be mutable, and you don't want the other object mutating "your" array.)

If you synthesize your accessors, declare the property as either @property(retain) or @property(copy). Note that this won't work if you want a mutable copy; in that case, you'll have to implement the setter yourself.

A: Sounds like you have a reference counting error somewhere, which isn't going to be debuggable from just that snippet of code. Try running with NSZombieEnabled=1, and then looking for retain/release bugs where you manage whatever object you get zombie warnings about.

A: NSZombie is telling you that the object returned from [currentCard words] is getting released somewhere, then you're using it again. Check all of your assignments to that variable and make sure that you're not setting it to an autoreleased object. Then check all release and autorelease messages sent to it.

A: It may help to see the GameCard Init and the GameCard dealloc method.
Also to verify that the method you think is the problem is the problem I would check for nil
if( [currentCard words] != nil )
    return [[currentCard words] objectAtIndex:rowIndex];

else
    return @"Blah!";

Aviation for Humanity was honored to visit The Homes of Ulu Wini in Kona, Hawaii. The Homes of Ulu Wini serve as affordable and transitional homes for families with minor children. They currently support 96 households, which include roughly 200 children. Their mission is to end the cycle of homelessness through educational programs, affordable housing, and community support.
The residents of The Homes of Ulu Wini come from diverse backgrounds with the majority of the population from the Marshall Islands. With the current lava flow devastation from the Kilauea volcano, the facility has seen an increase in demand. The lava started on May 3rd, 2018, leaving roughly 1150 people homeless in Puna, and the losses continue!
Kimberly Perkins, of Aviation for Humanity, was honored to receive a tour of their facility. The children showed her their after-school program, which included a program that focused on nutrition using a bicycle-powered blender for healthy smoothies. The children proudly showed off their garden, which consisted of cacao, cotton, papayas, and other tropical fruits. The children and faculty forged life in a previously dry lava field. While the facility is not completely sustainable, they are working on ways to use their produce in productive and meaningful ways.
We thank the community of The Homes of Ulu Wini and look forward to our next visit. Mahalo!

I heard about Tetro a while ago and the idea of it really appealed to me. For some reason I was highly excited to see this movie. It was probably due to the combination of the fantastic trailer and the fact that at the helm of this film was the great Francis Ford Coppola. So I was certainly not surprised that by the reel's end I came to the conclusion that I absolutely loved every moment of the film.
The beauty of the film was in its simplicity. Bennie, a young man working on a cruise ship that just brook down in Buenos Aires, gets a chance to reconcile with his older brother who ran away when he was very young. The film throughout was very mellow and as a result felt very real, while at the same time I found myself very entertained where the tone of the movie could be considered boring by some, but I think it completely works here.
The film was made in crisp black and white and would be a completely different film without it. The black and white was a perfect choice. I wouldn't have it any other way. The film looked fantastic and the shots were chosen perfectly. Everything just added onto the realism of the film, especially the performances.
I've never seen these actors in other movies and that made the movie all the better because I knew these actors only b their characters and everyone was doing fantastic. Alden Ehrenreich was fantastic as Bennie and Vincent Gallo gave one of the best performances of the year as the title character Tetro.
Tetro was a fantastic movie worthy of the many views I shall be giving it. At times I felt myself enjoying this film just as much, if not more than Coppola's classics. Need I remind you that this is the same man who made The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. It was difficult to find and the movie was highly anticipated for me, but the wait was worth it.

It Follows (2014)
Posted on February 6, 2017 by badblokebob
David Robert Mitchell | 100 mins | Blu-ray | 2.35:1 | USA / English | 15 / R
It's always fun when you come across a divisive movie — "which camp are you in?" It Follows is one of those (naturally — I wouldn't've mentioned it otherwise). Some say it's an instant horror classic, others that it's slow, boring, unscary, and can't even follow its own rules. I'm not qualified enough as a horror viewer to claim the former, but nor do I hold with the latter.
If you've not already seen it, it's based around an original horror concept — that, at least, has been near-enough universally praised. After teenager Jay (The Guest's Maika Monroe) sleeps with her new boyfriend, he reveals that he's passed a curse to her. She will be followed by something. It always takes human form, but that form changes — it could be a face in the crowd, someone she knows, whatever it needs to get close to her. Only people who have (or have had) the curse can see it. If it catches her, it will kill her, and then return to hunting the previous target (i.e. the boyfriend). The only way to get rid of it is to sleep with someone else and pass it on — though, of course, if they get killed then it's back to you. The one advantage you have is that it only walks, and slowly — but it never, ever stops. Naturally, Jay doesn't quite believe it… until things start happening to change her mind, and along with her friends she tries to find a way to shake the curse permanently.
A deadly force that moves towards you slowly but unceasingly and unstoppably — sounds like the stuff of nightmares. And it literally is, having been inspired by a series of nightmares writer-director David Robert Mitchell had as a child. He has not made those childhood fears into a childish movie, however. Far from it. Even leaving aside a couple of splashes of gore, the creature's frequently nude form, and all the sex stuff, It Follows is adult in its filmmaking attitude. Much like the creature, it often moves slowly, letting its story and situations breathe. This is not a multiplex movie; not a teen-friendly horror flick for date night. It feels more like an indie drama, with Mitchell creating a slow, methodical pace, which doesn't linger on things — he trusts we'll spot them. It's subtle filmmaking, respectful of the audience and our ability to work stuff out. There's the subject matter, too, about disaffected youth killing time… until they start being stalked by a murderous force, anyway.
One thing I'd say it excels at is creating that ambiance of teenage life. That sense of endless time to do nothing, to be bored — who gets bored once they're a grown-up and there's not enough time to do everything you want to do, never mind have time to kill doing nothing? There are parents, but they're barely present — they exist, but they also aren't part of your life. They never really tell Jay's mother what's going on, nor get the police involved, beyond an initial, fruitless investigation into the boyfriend. Well, why would they? Like being a teen, adults have no real power in your world (i.e. your friendship circle); you can't talk about all your 'problems' with them. Some of this is literally applicable to the film (seriously, are the police going to believe a teenage girl who says she's being stalked by an invisible killer?), but it's also part of the film's broader metaphor.
They're also a decent evocation of normal teens, not the Cool Kids you usually see in movies and TV — they don't talk in pop culture references or be all hip and aware, like the cast of Sceam or Buffy or something. They're more normal… apart from the fact they're always watching black-and-white B-movies, anyway. They're fumbling their way through life, and the situation they're in forces them to wake up a little — and they fumble their way through that, too. Again, more metaphors for the real experience of adolescence.
Of course, if you don't want that kind of stuff from your Horror movie, then I guess It Follows would seem slow and disinterested. So what of the scary stuff? As with pretty much all horror movies, your mileage will vary — perusing various reviews and comment threads shows no consistency in that regard. Personally, I found it more than sufficiently creepy. The whole effect is built on being very atmospheric rather than simplistically Scary. It's not without its jump scares or freaky moments, but it's the building sense of dread and tension where it most chills; that has you looking in the back of every frame for what's coming; longing for a reverse shot, because what if it's coming from the other direction? There are some very edge-of-your-seat sequences where Mitchell establishes there is something there, that something is coming, but then the camera pans slowly around, or it cuts away, and keeps cutting to other stuff, and you're begging for it to cut back to the original shot, or for the pan to speed up, so that you can see how things are going, how close it's getting, to LET US KEEP A BLOODY EYE ON IT.
Also from reading others' comments, it strikes me that the people who are most let down by the film are the ones who are either: a) looking for it to establish and follow a set of rules, or b) reading it as a great big sex metaphor. While it undoubtedly has rules (as a horror movie with a supernatural foe, it requires them) and obviously there's a sex-related reading (the curse is passed on through sex — how can there not be?), I'm not sure either of these are the film's main concern; at least, not in the way you'd expect them to be.
People as high and mighty as Quentin Tarantino have criticised the film for its faulty internal logic, for not following its own rules, but I don't agree. For starters, some of the faults QT calls out are actually explained in the film itself. For seconds, the rules are never established with perfect clarity. We're given some rules up front, but they come from a scared teenage boy whose only source for this information is his own experience. This isn't some sage old wise-man or some ancient textbook, this is just some kid who's been lucky enough to survive a while — who's to say his observations are 100% accurate? Personally, I don't think they are. Some people defend the film by saying there are no rules, that it's operating under dream logic, and that's fine because the point is to be scary, but I don't agree with that either. I think the behaviour of "it" does bend the rules we've been told, but that's because the rules we've been told are incomplete. I believe it is operating under a set of specific rules, which Mitchell knows but hasn't fully shared with us. And further, I think that's not only OK, but actively a good thing. Rules create a safety net — you know what it can and can't do, and you can work out what to do to defeat it, and, by extension, a way for the characters to win. But if you can't be certain what it's going to do next, that's scarier — and this is a horror movie, not an instruction manual.
As to the sex stuff, the obvious reading is the good old horror movie cliche of "having sex = getting killed"; or, more specifically, "losing virginity = getting killed". Except that's not the case at all. There's a throwaway reference to the fact Jay isn't a virgin, never mind the lack of general "it's my first time" handwringing you'd realistically expect if she were, so if it's a punishment for sex then it's a bit late coming. Even more omnipresently, the way to beat the curse (albeit temporarily) is to sleep with more people. If the message was intended to be "sex is bad, mmkay kids" then it'd've royally fucked that up.
There's an awful lot of theories that can be crafted out of It Follows — about what it's saying about sex, about teenage life, about growing up, about the inevitability of death. I don't think it's the kind of horror movie that's designed to scare you for 90 minutes in a darkened cinema in a comforting fashion (there are no pauses or fake-out scares to elicit reassuring laughter). It's designed to chill you on a more fundamental level, and perhaps to say something about something too — though what those somethings are, well, we can debate that.
I also think its shortage of hard-and-fast rules should not invite derision, but rather our own theories. Like, what's going on with water — does it really have an aversion to it? If so, why? Can it stop it? Spoilers: apparently not. More spoilers (just skip to the next paragraph if you've not seen it): does it require a chance to manifest as one of your parents before it can kill you? We don't see how it appears to the girl at the start, though note she's on the phone apologising to her father just before it does. Jay's friend who dies identifies it as his mom just before we see it fuck him to death. When it finally catches up with Jay in the pool, it's her dad. Conversely, when it attacks her on the beach earlier it starts by just grabbing her hair — why not get her then?
And I haven't even mentioned the awesome synth score by Disasterpiece, or the era-unspecific production design. Maybe that doesn't signify anything beyond an aesthetic throwback (the score is very Halloween; there's some modern tech but they're not all on their mobiles).
As I said at the start, my experience with the horror genre is too slight to ever go labelling something a genre classic. But this isn't 'just' a horror movie. Like the same year's The Babadook, there are dramatic elements that stretch out beyond the genre's usual stomping ground, not to mention an atmosphere of terror that exceeds simplistic attempts to make you jump in your seat every few minutes and call it a day. It's the kind of film that lingers after the credits roll, as you ponder the gaps it leaves you to ponder, and keep looking over your shoulder, because you never know when something might be following you…
The UK network premiere of It Follows is on Film4 tonight at 9pm.

Stranger by the Lake (2013)
Posted on December 9, 2015 by badblokebob
aka L'inconnu du lac
Alain Guiraudie | 100 mins | TV (HD) | 2.35:1 | France / French | 18
Iiiiiit's the arthouse gay sex thriller!
I'm just going to mention that before it comes the elephant in the room: this movie features lots of ultra-explicit gay sex. If you catch it on TV, that stuff's been partially removed (the BBFC may've passed it as an 18, but it remains illegal to show so much detail on TV, even at 1:20am when Channel 4 aired it), so even if I wanted to I won't be discussing that aspect in detail. Still, even without the, er, money shots, the sex is more frank than you normally see. It's also set on an all-male nudist beach, so even when they're not at it there's plenty of flesh to go round. If that kind of thing bothers you, this is certainly a film to steer clear of.
For the less prudish, it's worth getting past the initial titillation, because pornography isn't the point. Rather, it's an intriguing dramatic thriller about what we're prepared to accept, risk, or ignore in the name of attraction: Franck (Pierre Deladonchamps) fancies Michel (Christophe Paou), then spies him murder his former lover (in an extraordinary long, unbroken take), and then enters into a relationship with him anyway. This exploration plays out through a slow-burn pace, which balances burgeoning romance with an almost casual, incidental attitude to the thriller elements. It works thanks to our investment in the characters, their relationships (both sexual and friendships), and how these feed and influence the storyline.
In this regard it has a very particular speed and style — even if there was a version without copious full-frontal male nudity and explicit sex, it still wouldn't be for everyone. It helps to evoke both a certain time and place (lazy summer days on holiday) and a particular lifestyle (that of gay cruising — which, much to the (presumably straight) policeman's bafflement, continues virtually unabated even after one of their number is murdered in unexplained circumstances). This is further emphasised by the gorgeous cinematography. Claire Mathon apparently shot it using only natural light, and it looks fantastic — understated (this isn't a heavily-graded hyper-real kind of beauty), but sumptuous.
The film never leaves its lakeside beach setting. That's interesting for several reasons. One, it might seem like a limiting move, but isn't — the beach is where the main action occurs, so why leave? Two, the story is about that aspect of these people's lives — so that focus probably makes the film stronger. But, three, the characters' lives do exist outside of this place. Franck gets drinks with friends from the beach; he has dinner with new acquaintance Henri (Patrick D'Assumçao) at least once, and misses an arranged meal at least one more time; he's even interviewed at the police station, which you'd think would be vital to the plot. But we don't see any of that. We learn about it when it's arranged or after it's occurred, from conversations at the lake. It's an interesting choice; one that creates a particular kind of focus, and some sort of unity of space and time. It would give the movie a very different feel (though no less valid) if we actually saw those other encounters on screen.
The style is supported by strong performances. I suppose some would say "brave", by which they'd mean "they're naked a lot and having gay sex"… so, I mean, maybe it is brave, but, still, that'd be a euphemistic description. What I mean is that they're strong because they're calm, understated, realistic, and believable without tipping over into amateurish. You feel Franck's complex mix of fear and excitement, his lust overpowering common sense; there's a certain timidity, maybe even naïvety, present in his eyes. Conversely, his lover Michel is unreadable; a closed book, where you never know what he's thinking, feeling… plotting. Franck's new friend Henri is similarly tricky to get an accurate handle on, but he's the yin to Michel's yang (or vice versa). He's not plotting, he just is. Or maybe he was plotting all along…?
Stranger by the Lake has a lot of factors that would put various people off, but for those that aren't bothered by a slow pace or… nope, forgotten what the other 'problem' was… there's a fascinating character drama cum murder thriller to be engrossed by.

sex, lies, and videotape (1989)
Steven Soderbergh | 100 mins | streaming (HD) | 1.85:1 | USA / English | 18 / R
Four acquaintances partake in duplicitous relationships and candid sexual discourse in writer-director Steven Soderbergh's debut drama.
All four actors are good, covering every base on the spectrum of sexual openness, but, at the two extremes, James Spader and Andie MacDowell are excellent. They get the wealth of the material, the latter as a repressed, neurotic housewife, the former as an oddball whose truth obsession makes him both the strangest and most idyllic character.
26 years on, our world and attitudes have changed plenty — there are now whole websites dedicated to Spader's weird, private obsession — but this is still strikingly frank.
This drabble review is part of the 100 Films Advent Calendar 2015. Read more here.

Lausanne Diamond League: Neeraj Chopra is about to make history once more
By daddyscorenews
A fit-again When he participates in the Diamond League Meeting on Friday, Neeraj Chopra will have the opportunity to make history once more.
The "mild" groyne strain that the 24-year-old Olympic champion javelin thrower had when capturing a historic silver medal at the World Championships in Eugene, USA, last month has healed.
Chopra is now in fourth place in the standings with seven points; a top-three result here will guarantee him a seat in the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on September 7 and 8. On June 30, he placed second in the Stockholm leg, earning his first-ever podium result.
The top six finishers qualify for the Zurich Finals. The final stage, which takes place in Lausanne, features a men's javelin throw competition.
It would be interesting to see if Chopra maintains his impressive form this season following the one-month recovery. The eight-man field today is not too strong, thus he has a chance to become the first Indian to win a Diamond League Meeting.

Still Clutch? NBA Players Vote Bryant Game's Best Closer
NBA Playoff Results and Schedule
Ramneet Singh
A recent survey by Sports Illustrated asked 166 NBA players who they would want to take the last shot of a game, and 74% of them preferred Kobe Bryant. Bryant beat out NBA stars Kevin Durant (8 percent), Dwyane Wade (3 percent), Ray Allen and Dirk Nowitzki (2 percent each) for the honor.
Despite talks about Bryant slowing down and nearing the end of his career, he is still respected by his peers. Kobe is feared when the ball in his hands during late-game situations. He has been the NBA's best closer for several years now and his teammates trust him to take the final shot.

It was a cool spring day, with rain predicted. Marty Heitkamp was the only brave soul who brought his Viper. We had a good turnout, with 23 in attendance.
We also had a chance to celebrate Elaine Heitkamp's birthday!
Thanks to Rick Jakacki, our Cruise Night Director, and everyone who attended.
Temperatures have been in the 40's during the day and the snow is gone but winter is still hanging on. It was a brisk rainy evening. Marty Heitkamp wanted to bring his new ACR to the event if it didn't rain. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. We still had a great turnout of 31 people. Steelhouse is of our favorites for the winter, where everyone can huddle around the fire pit.
We'd also like to welcome some our newest members, Carl and Leanne Dukatz, who came all the way from California, and attended their first MCVO event!
Many thanks to Mike and Diane Cipponeri. They planned another fantastic event. We had 43 people in attendance and everyone had a great time. The food and gambling were enjoyed by all. The "Morton" table especially was raucous but definitely livened up the place. This was a great way for our Viper friends to come together on an windy, rainy February evening.
Michigan had just seen a few days of extreme winter weather from snow, rain, to freezing rain. The day of our cruise, another couple inches of snow had descended, creating havoc for drivers thru-out the day. 18 of our toughest members braved the elements to come out and enjoy great camaraderie and good food.
Our server Zach handled our group with a smile and kept the food and drinks coming in a timely manner.
Many thanks to our Cruise Night Director, Rick Jakacki, who drove over 2-1/2 hours to attend.
Our club had the unique pleasure to tour The GM Heritage Center. The Center displays more than 200 of GM's Concept Cars and Special Interest Styling/Performance One-Offs. It is not open to the Public so this is a great opportunity to see one of the greatest car collections in the World. We had about 12 members and their guests meet at The Pantry prior to the event. Others chose to meet at the event and we had approx. 18-20 in total. Unfortunately, our group photo did not capture everyone in attendance.
Winter has finally come to Michigan and it was a cold January day. Regardless, 25 MCVO members and their family braved the elements to come out and do battle on the Feather Bowling lanes. The teams were well matched and the competition was pretty intense.
In the end only one team can be the victors. Congratulations to The Roaring V-10's. The team consisted of: Rose Klutz; Tiffany Sutton; Rich Maccani and Gary Rappaport.
Our winter has been pretty mild and everyone is trying to get back to their routines after the holiday season. We met at the festive Camp Ticonderoga for an evening of good food and friends. Camp "Ti" is still decked out in it's "holiday attire" and was a beautiful backdrop for our evening.
There were 21 people in attendance.
