Living on an island can feel a bit like living in a tin can at times. When our friends in Utila suggested we go to Pico Bonito, Honduras for a weekend we jumped at the chance. I have to confess we knew nothing about Pico Bonito besides there are some pretty intense white water rafting.
Getting to Pico Bonito from Utila was really easy. First we took the ferry to La Ceiba, the town we look at across the blue ocean everyday. This is the mainland of Honduras. A cab met us at the ferry dock, and drove us to the meeting point for Pico Bonito. (La Ceiba can be pretty dicey so arrange a taxi before hand through your hotel if possible.) After waiting about 10 minutes (they are still on island time in La Ceiba), a 40-year-old Land Rover pulls up. It was a welcome sight after the 5 of us had been literally sitting on each others laps for over 45 minutes.
For those of you who don't know I have an obsession with vintage 4-wheel drive vehicles. So this gorgeous Land Rover instantly made the entire trip worth it. The top was off, and this stately vehicle was ready to take us up the mountain to Pico Bonito.
Pico Bonito means little beauty. It was easy to see where the name came from as we wound our way up the road. Massive mountains sandwich the river where we were to spend the weekend. Everything in the area, each tree, plant, animal and human was carefully protected and preserved by the government. The river was speckled with huge grey, white, and black granite boulders bordered morning. Most had fallen from the mountains thousands of years before. These boulders were taller than most homes in the States. They stood majestically keeping the jungle from creeping into the amazing river.
The view from the Jungle River Lodge was completely mesmerizing. The open air dining area looked out over the river and the massive jungle on the other side. The only sounds were the flowing water and the wild birds. While the motel was on the extremely modest side the service, food, views and natural pools made it a great stay.
Since our trip was so short we took advantage of the sunshine. Getting dressed immediately we headed down the river. The two guides split the five of us into two different rafts. At the time we were rafting the river was at a category 4 level and the water was quite low. The tricky thing about rafting in Pico Bonito is skirting through the massive boulders. Our guide had been on the river since he was a child. He knew exactly when we should lean, paddle and pray.
If you haven't been white water rafting in your life please go! Maybe a category 4 or 5 in Pico Bonito, Honduras isn't your thing but find a level and place that is. There is such a rush being in nature and facing the elements, the unexpected and the strength of the water.
As we paddled, balanced, and held on to make it down the river, through the boulders and over some small drops I couldn't help but laugh and smile, no matter how much water was flooding in. We almost lost J. at one point, a big bump threw him way off balance. But a strong Honduran guide, be he ever so small, grabbed on and pulled him back in the raft. There are times along the river when the water calms down and in those moments I leaned back and took in the massive mountains, jungle and the clear blue sky. It is a lot like life-bumpy, crazy, fast and unpredictable. There are glorious moments of calm and beauty to reward you for your effort.
The rest of the afternoon was spent lounging on boulders, soaking up the sun, drinking Honduran beer and sitting in the natural pools. The pools were formed by the rain and natural crevices in the boulders.
The following day it was time to jump from the tallest boulder into the rapids. This I didn't do. I chose to stand down river and take pictures. While it looked like fun watching one of my friends get sucked down the wrong path and struggle to get back to shore was all the evidence I needed I made the right choice.
Later that afternoon, with as much clothing as we could handle in the heat we headed into the jungle along the opposite side of the river. The five us walked the crazy suspended bridge, probably last maintained in 1950. After making it across we trekked through the mosquito riddled jungle. The beauty, serenity and views were worth every bite. (Definitely bring spray if you intend to spend anytime in the jungle.). In some ways we were all glad to be fighting against an insect we could see rather than the sandflies in Utila.
In Pico Bonito I found a peace and calm rarely experienced. We watched snakes and lizards move through the trees, laughed and told stories with our friends. All in this little haven away from the rest of the world. As we packed up and loaded into the Land Rover we knew what we had just experienced was so special it would stay with us forever.
Thanks to my friend Lany for the jungle photo.


i am creating my first Application right now. I started it like the App Tutorial showed how to do it, but the new Controller/Page doesn't come up with any Style. All Head Styles and JS are gone. Also the Mainnavigation is missing.
I copied Skeleton and renamed it.
Would be very thankful for some help.
In the appcontroller.php is the key!
How can i integrate the Controller into the Mainnavigation?

Just 2 years ago today, I quit smoking. I woke up on April 7th, 2014 and lit my last cigarette as my girlfriend and I had decided that when the pack was empty, we were done.
Everything on this list had 2 things in common, they were all recommended by doctors and Internet help groups, yet none of them worked. I had been "trying to quit" since my early 20's, not because I actually wanted to quit, but because I had been made to feel bad about smoking. Cigarette packs in England have the words "Smoking Kills" in big letters on the front – they want to make sure you understand what you are doing every time you light up.
It was only after I lost my mother to cancer, caused by smoking, that I became serious about not ending up the same way. From realizing she was ill to being put in her casket was less than a 3 month journey for us, one that I vowed not to put my family through in 10 years time.
On our quit day, we had been vaping for 3 months. We were dual using as we attempted to steel ourselves for the massive leap to being cigarette free. I remembered all the times I tried and failed, and I remember a therapist telling me that I should probably not try to quit for fear of me seriously hurting someone (this actually happened when I was in my mid twenties and found out that without nicotine and caffeine I had anger issues), basically my heart was in my throat because of fear.
The first day, I craved for cigarettes. Not because I needed the nicotine (I was vaping 24 mg/ml e-liquid), but because it felt as though someone was keeping me away from my best friend. The next day, the exact same thing. Every time I felt like I needed a cigarette, I picked up my MVP V2 and hit it until the need subsided. By day 3 I realized that I was getting all the nicotine I needed, so I could finally let go of the idea of needing to smoke.
I thought I was vaping too much to compensate because I was starting to feel sick to my stomach and had headaches — it wasn't until after the fact that I realized that this was my body cleansing itself of ALL THE OTHER chemicals that they put in cigarettes to keep you hooked.
Now, it is 2 years down the line. Cigarettes are a distant memory, and in all honesty I don't need to vape anymore. On an average day, I switch between 0 and 3 mg/ml depending on my mood, and my fiancée does the same. The main reason I still vape is because I enjoy it and it starts conversations with people who are still smoking. I will not try to convince anyone to quit smoking who does not wish to quit, I have been there and know it is not going to work.
If you want to quit smoking and are looking for advice and encouragement, I and hundreds of thousands of other vapers are here to help you along.
Vaping IS NOT smoking, my lungs are as healthy now as a person who never smoked. Regardless of the things the media want you to believe, one will save your life and the other WILL kill you.
I am sharing this story today not only to give myself and my fiancée a cyber high 5 for getting away from cigarettes, but also to hopefully serve as inspiration for someone who may be about to embark on a journey similar to ours. Just remember, you can achieve anything in life, you just have to want it.
Daniel, my story is very close to yours. I smoked from the age of 16 and was up to two packs a day (don't tell anyone my age by 46). On August 7, 2015 (249 days ago) I was rushed to the ER with breathing difficulties and hospitalized. I was diagnosed with COPD and told that if I didn't stop smoking I would die. It wasn't a joke. My oxygen levels were pathetic, my pulmonary testing showing horrible results. When I left the hospital, I had my mother drive me straight to my local vape shop (the one I'd passed by for two years laughing at the ridiculousness of vaping actually working) and got my first set up. I haven't touched a cigarette since that day.
I'd tried hypnosis, Chantix, cold turkey, and that stupid nicotine patch… it was all crap. The hand to mouth of vaping, and the tricking of my brain into thinking I was smoking made this work for me. These days? I can FINALLY sing again, walk a flight of stairs without getting winded, don't wake up four or five times a night coughing my head off, and don't get Bronchitis every two months. So Vaping WORKS!
29,244 / 731 = two packs a day..!
This is very inspiring! I want to quit smoking so I started vaping. I still feel cravings for cigarette from time to time but so far I was able to manage it. I hope someday I can totally kick my habit and stop vaping too.


With more than 100,000 substances and chemical entities in its product portfolio, microbiology and organic fine biochemical CDMO and specialist supplier, BIOSYNTH AG, has countless molecular stories to tell.
This month we are focusing on two related substances, harmane and norharmane, that unearth curious links between indigenous tribes in the Amazon rain forest and treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Harmane (BIOSYNTH catalog number H-1150) and norharmane (N-8700), are both indole alkaloids, nitrogen containing heterocycles that belong to the class known as beta-carbolines (β-carbolines). Structurally, these consist of a pyridine ring fused to an indole skeleton, with the ethylamine chain re-connected to the indole ring via an extra carbon atom, to produce a three-ringed structure.
In pharmacology, β-Carboline alkaloids are known to act as benzodiazepine inverse agonists in plants and animals.
Some β-carbolines, notably tryptoline and pinoline, may be formed naturally in the human body but harmane and norharmane are methylated heterocyclic amine derivatives primarily found in external sources, in a variety of foods including coffee, sauces and cooked meats, as well as in tobacco smoke.
Over millennia, Harmane and Norharmane have been identified as neurotoxins, with plants containing these alkaloids originally used in hallucinogenic drinks or snuffs in religious ceremonies particularly in the South and Central America.
More recently, the neurological effects of these beta-carbolines have become well characterized at the molecular level (Pfau & Skog, 2004), with norharmane and harmane showing molecular similarity to neurotoxins known to induce Parkinson's disease and elevated concentration of Harmane noted in the blood of Parkinson's disease patients. (Louis et al., 2014).
Additionally, harmane is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor that is believed to be the main endogenous ligand for the benzodiazepine receptor that joins melatonin in being implicated in helping the pineal gland to regulate the human sleep cycle.
As benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists β-carbolines can also have anxiogenic and memory enhancing effects.
Interestingly, methyl-β-carbolines such as harmane appear to induce DNA damage under exposure to ultra-violet light.
Click on BIOSYNTH Molecule of the Month: 03/2018 for more information.
Harmane and norharmane have powerful neurotoxin effects that may hold keys to treatments for tremor and Parkinson's disease.

An American porn star was killed in Prague. Llyod Eckersley was abroad because he was wanted for human trafficking and extortion. If they didn't cooperate, he threatened to send the films to their relatives, and this went on until a woman died. She died. It prompted an investigation, and everything came out. Eckersley and Fred Dobbins were tried in absentia because they fled. They came. A lovely city whose police force is severely underfunded. While in the nation, Eckersley tried to reopen his porn business and was shot twice in the crotch. He died. The women he was working with took advantage of the situation and fled the place as soon as gunshots were heard. Someone delivered it. The cops found Eckersley. It was too late to imprison him, but his colleague Dobbins remained at large and wanted. Dobbins and Eckersley bonded. If Eckersley was in town, so was Dobbins.
Agent Forester and his crew were assigned to Dobbins' case. They started looking for Eckersley's newest employees. The guys allegedly knew the two individuals were wanted by Americans but refused to help them because they believed the American legal system had messed them. They stated the women duped were intelligent adults. They were unhelpful and unafraid of the man who murdered Eckersley. But Forrester and his crew did find a suspect. They found him. Clancy was the young woman's father and a cop in Oklahoma. He was trained. He can shoot a rifle and buy a plane ticket five hours before boarding. Clancy was the killer. The FBI later obtained a tip that he was still in the country seeking for Dobbs. They located Eckersley's coworkers just before he died, and one of them knew where Dobbins was. But she refused to talk unless she was compensated. The FBI discovered Dobbins and obtained what they needed. They took him. His father wasn't as awful as his sister, he conceded. Ella Clancy, Kayla's sister, was as devastated by her sister's death as her father was. Ella also backpacked around Europe and has gun experience. It was a practice that made perfect, Ella said on Instagram. The FBI concluded Ella killed Eckersley and told her father. That's why he rushed to Prague. He's hunting for a daughter and attempting to keep his lone child alive. But he can't shield her from the fallout.
Jamie felt Forrester's pain. He told them where his daughter was hiding, and Jamie went to get her first. They hid behind trash cans. She wanted to hide the killer. Jamie also talked Jim Clancy into confessing to the crime. Jamie was a pro. She did it consciously to protect Ella, and she told Jim Clancy so. Clancy claims they battled for the gun. He'll be charged with murder. He faces two years in prison and all he wanted was to see his daughter before he was arrested. Clancy reassured his daughter. Ella hugged him, and they parted. But Forrester knew. No proof, but he knew. He advised Jamie to make sure her priorities matched the job, and she did just that. She told him she was taking leave. Jamie met Ella afterward. Ella was taking the retrieved bag to Norway to scatter her sister's ashes. Kayla just did what she did to save money to visit Norway, and her sister wants to honor that by bringing Kayla there to be buried.

At Penn, senior Andrew Ravaschiere is able to pair his love of biology with his interest in cinema studies and documentary filmmaking.
Penn senior Andrew Ravaschiere is a biology major conducting cellular research who also has a passion for cinema and filmmaking.
As a biology major, senior Andrew Ravaschiere spends much of his time in a laboratory conducting cellular research.
But this past summer he got out of the lab and into the world of filmmaking, working as an intern for Jigsaw Productions, a New York-based documentary film production company.
Can he seriously pursue both of his interests, in cellular science and film studies?
"That's a fair question," says Ravaschiere, who is on track to earn a minor in cinema and media studies, in addition to his major in biology at Penn. The answer, he says, is "yes," in part because storytelling is central to both disciplines.
Nicola Gentili, associate director of the Cinema Studies Program in the School of Arts and Sciences, says it is "very, very rare" for a student to major in a science and also pursue a degree in cinema and media studies, in part because the courses are not cross-referenced to meet degree requirements.
Ravaschiere has a work-study job at Penn Medicine during the year, but last summer he was an intern at a documentary film production company.
In addition to cellular research, Ravaschiere was also drawn to the power of film and decided to pursue the minor after taking his first cinema-studies course, Screenwriting Workshop.
"Andrew was an ideal candidate for the Jigsaw internship," says Gentili, his cinema studies adviser. "He was very much dedicated to the same sort of films that Alex Gibney produces," referring to the filmmaker who heads Jigsaw Productions.
Coincidentally, this summer Jigsaw was working on a film that documents the fall of health care company Theranos for HBO Documentary Films. "It was a perfect combination of my science background and film interests," Ravaschiere says.
In addition to fact-checking, he conducted research in peer-reviewed scientific journals and summarized his findings in lay terms. He also attended screenings, assembled the thoughts of viewers, and analyzed trends in their responses.
Both in science and storytelling, it is about "getting to that truth with a capital T," Ravaschiere says, a good fit for documentaries like those made at Jigsaw, where Gibney has accepted Penn summer interns since 2013.
Highlights of Gibney's career include "Taxi to the Dark Side," about torture at a United States military base in Afghanistan, which won the Academy Award in 2008 for best documentary feature, as well as "Enron, The Smartest Guys in the Room," on the corporate scandal, which was nominated for an Oscar.
Ravaschiere hopes to combine his interests in science and cinema in his future career.
Over the course of several summers, starting while in high school at the Riverdale Country School, he worked on a research study investigating environmental stressors in mussels native to the Bronx River and also to the cleaner waters off of Greenwich, Conn. He was the first author of that published paper.
Science and cinema require both problem solving and organization, Ravaschiere says. With 6.5 credits this semester and his work-study job in the lab, Ravaschiere has to be good at both.
He also is involved in extracurricular activities, as an officer of the Kinoki Senior Society for students interested in film, and the Wharton Undergraduate Healthcare Club.
After graduation in May? Conducting cellular research and writing scripts to continue storytelling through film are both appealing, he says.

When Does a Recovery Become a Failure?
The Marxist inspired policies of President Obama and the Communist Party of America (formerly the Democratic Party) have failed to return employment levels to those of the often blamed Bush.
This isn't a recovery. It is just extended misery. Oh, and that Bush guy, hasn't been President for six years now.
Obama still blames Bush for the economy, but somehow in two years, we defeated the Kaiser and in 4 years, Tojo and Hitler. Yet, in six years, Marxism can't return employment to pre-recession levels.

Kishan, a wealthy print-media owner is married to the suspicious-minded Kajal, who thinks he is having an affair with another woman, though he is faithful to her and never wills to betray her anyway. His friend Prem, a rich businessman has the opposite situation has many affairs with other girls, even though he is married to Pooja, who is very trusting. Kishan's employee, Shekhar, accidentally falls in love with Sanjana, who hates lies and doesn't tolerate other women in a man's life.
As Kishan takes Prem's photos with his girlfriend and threatens to inform Pooja, Prem sends Bobby, a call girl to seduce Kishan. The plan is that he'll fall into Prem's trap. Kishan plans to meet Bobby at his home while Kajal travels to Ajmer. As her passport is left at home, she returns and finds Bobby with Kishan in their outhouse, which they'd given Shekhar to live in. Kishan tells her that Bobby is Shekhar's wife; Sanjana, set to marry Shekhar, thinks Bobby is Kishan's wife.
Prem, in order to save his friends' marriages, tells Sanjana and Kajal that Bobby was his first wife. It becomes a bundle of confusion, arguments and comedy when all the various couples meet together. The truth is eventually told through many comedic encounters, and eventually Kishan, Prem and Shekhar seemingly turn over a new leaf.

DevelopmentEdit
During the production of No Entry, speculations arose that it would be a remake of the film Masti (2004). The comparisons were made due to both films revolving around the same subject of extra-marital affairs. However, producer Boney Kapoor strongly denied the similarities and clarified that No Entry would be a remake of the Tamil movie titled Charlie Chaplin (2002). Kapoor also stressed that he would never endorse innuendo-based films such as Masti.[2]
ReceptionEdit
Box officeEdit
It was a box office success, grossing ₹74.13 crore worldwide.[3] The film topped the Chennai box office on its opening weekend.[4]
Critical responseEdit
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, and stated "No Entry is a joyride that is bound to click with the masses in a big way. At the box-office, No Entry has all it takes to prove a success story on account of its massive star cast and excellent comedy it has to offer. Go have fun!"[5] India Today stated, "The movie is mostly about suspicious, nagging wives, extramarital affairs and lots of semi-clad, sexy bodies cavorting in foreign locations."[6] Patsy N of Rediff.com stated, "If we can watch men sleeping around, and laugh about them, why can't we do the same with movies about woman having extramarital affairs?"[7]
Jaspreet Pandohar of BBC gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and stated "After tackling a romance and thriller, writer/director Anees Bazmee tries his hand at comedy with No Entry, a caper jammed-packed with Bollywood stars. Great gags sadly deteriorate into a series of stinky slapstick scenes you'll wish had never entered your life."[8] Marc Savlov of Austin Chronicle gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, and stated "Writer-turned-director Bazmee has crafted a relatively smart and snarky war of the sexes minus the sex but with plenty of juicily hammy performances and enough outrageous one-liners, sight gags, and mistaken-identity yuks."[9] Ekanshu Khera of Planet Bollywood gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, and stated "Well-etched characters, hysterical situations, showcase of stars, witty dialogues, striking cinematography and scenic locales are some of the moments that stand out."[10]

Is it easy for you to accept changes? It is not always easy for me. There have been changes with our church which are good and I am excited about, but a still they are changes. I woke at 3 Monday morning and could not go back to sleep for over an hour. I thought of how our church was moving in a different direction and changing names. Not everyone is going with us in this change. I know it is OK and we will still be friends, but I will miss seeing them weekly. I will miss them participating in our small groups. The more I tossed and turned the sadder I became. I felt alone and unloved. I prayed and poured out my heart to the Lord about how I was feeling! I finally fell asleep. Ever been there? When I woke that morning I felt drained, sad and had a headache.
Just wanted you to know how you have been on my heart. I love you.
Yes, I cried. I knew that the Lord had put me on her heart! I wrote her back and as soon as she received my email she called me. My heart felt lighter the more we talked. I felt loved...by God and by her.
I love you so much and miss you…do you know that? It is true, I do!!! Also, I want you to know that I think about you and pray for you often. I know that there are so many changes going on with the church and I just think about your heart and how you are dealing with longtime friends leaving. I can imagine that it is hard for you to see all the changes. I know it would be hard on me. I was thanking the Lord just the other day that I didn't have to go through any of it. Change is hard. I am not looking for any details, I just wanted you to know that I love you and I am praying for you.
I cried again. How good of God to speak to two friend's hearts letting them know some of what I had only told Him. How precious of them to pray for me and then to let me know they care.
Today, I'm not sad, I don't feel alone, and I feel loved. I will surely have these emotions again and I hope when I do I will remember God's faithfulness to fill my heart with His love and joy. I am so thankful to Him for His lovingkindness and to my friends for hearing God.
It's so easy to become so comfortable with the way things are --- kind of like an old recliner that has molded itself to our shape and the way we sit. We just can't give it up for a new one. There is that old saying that says, "If you aren't moving forwards, you are moving backwards -- you can't stand still." I've been on the other end of where you are ---- when a church should have moved on and changed and did not --- and it died. Completely died and shut its doors. If the changes are in line with what the Bible teaches and will edify and build up the Christians there while being a light and testimony to the community around it, then the changes are good. The losses of friendships hurt, but I know that the Lord has great things in store for you. He knows the plans He has for you, and they are for your good!
God's timing is always perfect, isn't it? And I love how He uses people to encourage us at the right time.
I love that you shared this. How wonderful. It is so true that He will meet our needs & did so in such a sweet way by using your friends. You are a special lady & I am blessed to call you friend too. Love ya!
A very happy Easter to you and your family!


Mekala is our first student from the East Arnhem community of Ramingining. Mekala arrived in Geelong mid February 2018 and has come a long way from the quiet young lady she was when she arrived. Mekala is in Year 10 at Belmont High School and has been working hard in her EAL classes to improve her English. Mekala has also been playing good footy this season in the U/18 St. Joseph's girls football team. It is Mekala's goal to complete Year 12 here in Geelong and look to go on to further studies, possibly nursing.
Justina, the younger sister of Evelyn, also from Galiwin'ku and attending Belmont High School, decided to make the journey down to Geelong and pursue her dreams of getting a good education and playing footy at the highest level possible. She had a great start to the year, playing and training with the Geelong Falcons as well as the U/18 St. Joseph's girls footy team. Unfortunately in her first practice game of the season, she ruptured her ACL and required a full knee reconstruction. It was a tough start to her year down in Geelong, being so far from home and not being able to play any sport, however her resilience and strong mental toughness got her through. Justina had a knee reconstruction and we hope to see her back on the footy field in 12 months time. Justina hopes to complete 3 years of study down here in Geelong and graduate from Year 12, with the hope to go on to further studies.
Evelyn is from the community of Galiwin'ku, also known as Elcho Island. Evelyn joined us at the beginning of 2018, commencing Year 11 at Belmont High School. Already she has displayed determination, committment to pursuing her education and football career and she is a true leader. Evelyn is a very talented footballer, signing a contract with the VFLW Geelong Cats team early in 2018 and making her debut in May 2018 against Collingwood. She played a number of games in the VFLW season, but also played with the Seniors at St. Joseph's Football and Netball club. A memorable match in 2018 was against the NT Thunder VFLW team in Darwin. Evelyn flew with the Geelong Cats team to Darwin to play and then 8 of her team members made the trip to Galiwin'ku to visit her home community and meet her family. Definitely a great experience for Evelyn and her team mates. Evelyn's goals are to complete Year 12 in Geelong and look to pursue further studies, possibly Sport and Recreation.
Take a look at a highlights video of the trip to Galiwin'ku.
Yirrmal Marika was part of the first group that started the leadership program in April 2011. He has had over 6 years of living in two worlds and returned in 2017 for another year of study. Yirrmal is proving to be a future leader of Arnhem Land and plays a very important role in the program now, not only is he continuing to further his own education but he is a mentor to each new participant that enters the program and he is a fantastic advocate of the program each time he returns to his homeland; he is always talking to young lads and to the elders about the Marrma' Rom Two Worlds Foundation and the importance of education and learning to live in two worlds.
During his time here Yirrmal successfully obtained a VCAL certificate after completing Years 11 and 12 at St. Joseph's. In 2013 he decided to do another year of study at St. Joseph's College; a Year 13 'gap' program consisting of intensive English and Maths. He also completed a Certificate 3 in Music Business at Oxygen Music College during that period. 2014 was a big year for Yirrmal as he moved to Melbourne and studied a Certificate 4 in Music Business at North Melbourne Institute of Technology. This was a tough year for him truly living independently in Melbourne but a successful year in all aspects of his education and learning to live in two worlds. Yirrmal returned to Geelong in 2015 to study a Diploma of Music at Oxygen Music College. He is yet to complete all units of this course but plans to do so at some stage in the future.
2016 was another busy year for Yirrmal. Between his study and his emerging music career, Yirrmal was enthusiastic, extremely passionate and inspired by the positive people and mentors that surrounded him. In 2016 he studied a bridging course in English and Maths at Gordon TAFE in Geelong, and undertook some intensive tutoring in music theory. He successfully obtained his Certificate 1 in Adult Education – literacy and numeracy and commenced the Certificate 2 at the beginning of 2017.
Yirrmal's hardworking and dedicated attitude has allowed him to continue on his learning journey. He released his debut EP at the end of 2016 and has performed on some big stages amongst some amazing artists, but he remains humble, focused and fully committed to his education.

'Tis the season for brick-and-mortar retailers to freak out. Target is rolling out QR codes so shoppers can scan and buy toys on their cellphones. Walmart is dabbling with same-day service while Toys R Us and Best Buy are introducing their own tablet products all in the hopes that consumers won't treat their stores as three-dimensional catalogs for Amazon.
Just as mobile is changing the media and advertising landscape, it's wreaking havoc on retail as well. Showrooming — the phenomenon in which consumers visit a store and then use their phones to buy items they see on Amazon — is becoming a major headache.
It's also becoming prevalent. Some 35% of consumers confessed to showrooming in Q2, according to comScore.
Yet there are other ways that m-commerce is reshaping the retail landscape. The mobilization of shopping also will mean big trouble for smaller retailers, but it presents some new opportunities as well.
There's some good news for the Targets and Walmarts of the world: About 80% of phone-based m-commerce transactions are happening via apps. Andrew Lipsman, VP of industry analysis at comScore, says that generally consumers will only put a handful of retail apps on their phone out of a total of 41 total apps, on average. "Maybe you only want three retailers — eBay, Amazon and Walmart," he says. "It's a risk for small niche retailers."
Early winners in the app race include Target, Zappos, Toys R Us, Walmart, Amazon, Nordstrom, Zara, Walgreens, eBay, Gilt, LivingSocial and Groupon, all of which are included in the "Apps for Shopping" collection in Apple's App Store. While some of the brands likely got on the list because of their sheer size, Lipsman says Groupon, LivingSocial and eBay earn their keep because they flash deals at consumers, making them more top of mind.
A recent study by AOL and ad agency BBDO found that "mobile" is a misnomer for phones, since 68% of the time they're used at home. In particular, 40% of shopping moments happened when consumers were sitting in front of their TVs, phone in hand and a significant amount are shopping from their beds. "It's becoming the new habit," says Christian Kugel, VP, Consumer Analytics and Research at AOL. "The phone is always on them. It's a personal thing. You have the phone configured the way you like it. For a lot of stuff, you don't need a 20-inch screen to get a sense of the product."
Tablets, however, represent an even bigger opportunity. Lipsman estimates that twice as much m-commerce is happening on tablets vs. phones. (The AOL study just looked at phones.) In addition to couch shopping, consumers are also using their tablets to buy stuff from their beds. "These occasions just didn't exist before," Lipsman says.
Since tablets are becoming a bigger factor in m-commerce than smartphones, Kurt Heinemann, CMO for Monetate, a provider of cloud-based testing, targeting, and personalization software for marketers, recommends that retailers put a lot of thought into how their websites come across on tablets.
That's right, websites, not apps. Heinemann says people use tablets much differently than they use smartphones. That means they're visiting websites. But if the websites come across clunky on a tablet, they'll take their business elsewhere. To prevent such an occurrence, Heinemann says retailers should make the buttons on their sites bigger and get rid of features like mouse rollover, which alienate tablet users.
Such tablet users, after all, are often the same people who have been showrooming with their cell phones. They're not necessarily buying on their phones, though. "With showrooming, the decision is 'Should I buy here or not?" says Heinemann. "It's likely a postponement; they'll wait until they get home and then buy it on their PC or tablet."

Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev: A fight three years in the making
By sportsgamingwire
Elliot Worsell tells the story of Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev, a fight ordered by the IBF, a fight long in the making and a fight all involved will be glad to see the back of
THIS time last year Anthony Joshua outboxed Andy Ruiz Jnr to restore order to the heavyweight division, though was, like everyone else, oblivious to the fact real disorder lurked just around the corner and could not be controlled by a jab. Back then it was the one blow he couldn't see coming; the one opponent for which he wasn't prepared.
Then again, one could argue the attitude of Joshua and the two other top heavyweights of last year – Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder – perfectly encapsulated the arrogance, naivety and sense of entitlement with which we were all wandering through life in 2019. Heads high and whistling down the road, the trio, having already made millions and positioned themselves to make more, believed they had the game of life sussed and that not a thing could hurt, derail or stop them. They thought they had all the time in the world and the world in the palm of their hand. They could say what they wanted, do what they wanted, and the boxing world would listen, understand, wait, and adjust their expectations accordingly. They were, as a team, stringing us all along, cynically, greedily, stretching potential rivalries as far as they would go until the band was begging to be snapped. Masters of timing, all three feared only the possibility of a shock upset ruining their plan.
But how wrong they were. How wrong they were to think a heavyweight wild card like Andy Ruiz was the one thing capable of wrecking their dream of timing rivalries to perfection and cashing in when the moment was right. How wrong they were to consider themselves untouchable and not anticipate the world having a message for them.
That message came this year in the form of a global pandemic, of course, and it left Joshua, Fury and Wilder, the latter two at least having fought in February, searching for attention and relevance in a year of collective uncertainty. Through no fault of their own, the pandemic robbed all three of momentum, it cancelled fights, and it forced them to console their sizeable egos and for once confront their own insignificance, if temporarily.
For the best part of the year Joshua was seen only in television adverts or protesting on London streets, Fury was seen only in his living room doing star jumps alongside his wife and children, and Wilder discovered theories and cures for every issue he had ever faced aside from the one most pressing.
They were not the only ones, either. Also humbled during the pandemic, this unforgiving leveller, was Dillian Whyte, the self-appointed fourth wheel, or forgotten man, of the heavyweight division. He was humbled the old-fashioned way – that is, knocked out cold by Alexander Povetkin, a Russian whose best days are behind him – and must now go over old ground to return to the perch from which he fell.
Thankfully, Joshua, the heavyweight with the most belts and the most to lose, has lost nothing this year except momentum and perhaps a payday, which in the grand scheme of things is a) for him not a big deal and b) not something anyone paying to watch him box should care about. In reality, his biggest disappointment has been the cancellation of an ordered IBF title fight against Kubrat Pulev, originally scheduled for June, which has been three years in the making and now at last takes place on December 12.
This fight, a virus all of its own as far as Joshua is concerned, is not so much a fight the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion wants as one he simply wants behind him. It has been niggling away at him since October 2017, the time when Pulev was first meant to be his opponent, and is a fight both he and everybody else has been told, repeatedly, must be put to bed before Joshua, 23-1 (21), can return to more interesting assignments.
In some respects, then, Joshua too is going over old ground, only this time it feels worse. Now the one thing bleaker than the prospect of a fight against Kubrat Pulev in 2017 is the prospect of a fight against Kubrat Pulev three years later during a pandemic. Now, rather than going through the motions before a stadium crowd of 80,000 people, Joshua will be asked to do the same job in front of just 1,000 at Wembley Arena, unsure whether the fans at home will be desperate to see him back in the ring or, because it has been so long and so much has happened this year, have found other things to do with their spare time.
In truth, there should be greater interest in Joshua now given the journey he went on last year – a year in which he was written off as a hype job in the summer and celebrated as a genius come winter – and all the undue drama he created for himself, then overcame. He returns, somehow, as both a better fighter and a more beatable fighter. He returns, certainly, as a more watchable fighter, not that this was something Joshua, typically entertaining, needed to work on.
As watchable as the 31-year-old is, however, it's equally fair to say Joshua vs. Pulev is the least appealing Anthony Joshua fight since the first time it was set for October 28, 2017. That night, with Pulev out injured, Carlos Takam filled the void and gave a good account of himself, stopped unjustly in the 10th round. This time, though, with Pulev fit and 39, a fight three years in the making, which nobody really wanted to see in the first place, will end up defining 2020 to a tee.
A year on from Joshua's last outing, this defence against Pulev unfortunately lacks all that Joshua vs. Ruiz II possessed in spades. The dynamic between champion and challenger is as forced as the fight itself and the reality is that Joshua would have no interest in boxing Pulev had them meeting not been ordered by the IBF. That, in a nutshell, is the story. It's all there is to it.
By way of summary, Pulev has worked his way into a mandatory position, been denied his title shot because of an injury, and then waited around a bit longer for a second chance. It can be called a story of perseverance, fine, but it should and will never be confused with Andy Dufresne and Shawshank. It is instead closer to the perseverance you see on the face of the man working in an Amazon warehouse during a global pandemic. You don't doubt he has paid his dues and earnt every penny and break he gets, but, if given the option, you would prefer not to pay £24.95 to watch how he relaxes on his night off.
Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
At least Andy Ruiz's six-month fling with Joshua was quick, dramatic and worthy of following. Ridiculed at first, he burst on to the scene out of nowhere, took and made the most of his opportunity when others – like Pulev – might have said no, maybe, or waited, and then, in the rematch, followed the path made fashionable by James "Buster" Douglas, returning the titles in exchange for a life without limits, changed beyond his wildest dreams. As it happened, we didn't have time to get bored of him. He was in, he was out, and he left behind all the questions we had long been wanting Anthony Joshua to answer. In six months, he made quite the impact.
Bulgaria's Pulev, on the other hand, has had three years to make an impression yet will, by the time the first bell rings on Saturday, still be a name and face unfamiliar to most fans watching. Indeed, it could be said the only thing more predictable than the fight itself will be the way it is promoted and served to fans on the night. In an effort to seduce, there will no doubt be repeated mentions of Pulev's 28-1 (14) record and how the only defeat he has suffered as a pro came against Wladimir Klitschko at a time when Klitschko was in his prime and seemingly never going to lose another fight. There will also be a reminder that this defeat occurred in 2014, that's six years ago, and that since then Pulev hasn't come close to losing again. They might tell you he beat Dereck Chisora, now apparently a UK pay-per-view headliner, but won't mention it being a split decision. They might even tell you he beat Tyson Fury's cousin but won't mention it being a fight nobody would ever watch twice.
Something else they won't tell you is that Pulev, in his last bout, went the full 10 rounds with Rydell Booker, a 39-year-old former cruiserweight schooled by an out-of-shape James Toney all the way back in 2004. Nor will the television pundits go into much detail regarding the reason why Pulev's profile has been enhanced in the past couple of years without fighting anybody of note, his lips having produced more damage and attention than his fists.
Frankly, remove Pulev's 2019 kissing scandal and there is little else. Though winning, "The Cobra's" standout victory since losing to Klitschko remains his 2016 split decision over Chisora and Chisora, we recently learnt, is some way short of the likes of Oleksandr Usyk, the former cruiserweight king tipped to face Joshua next year, let alone the titleholders. That puts Pulev's form in perspective and shows, too, the prestige of this fight in relation to the others in Joshua's future.
But the good news for Pulev, and for those watching the fight, is that Andy Ruiz has given every Joshua opponent a better chance of dethroning him than they would have had before June 2019. He has given them hope, he has given them a kind of blueprint, and he has reminded the world that form – whether past wins or physical – counts for little when two heavyweights share a ring and start trading punches.
Moreover, while he fights nothing like Ruiz, Pulev does possess the kind of top-level experience Ruiz lacked and is schooled and technical in a way that could, if only for a few rounds, test the supposed improvements Joshua has made in this department. Indeed, it will be interesting to see whether Pulev takes the fight to Joshua the way he attempted to do with Klitschko all those years ago, and the way Ruiz did with success against Joshua last year, or is instead more circumspect and trusts his boxing skills from range. It will be just as interesting to observe how Joshua, this champion who transitioned from head-hunting front-runner to patient artist in six months, goes about the task of defusing a man for whom he has been preparing, on and off, for three years now.
Rest assured, this will not be another example of Joshua fighting someone on short notice only to find himself shocked by their style, ferocity and desire, as was the case 18 months ago against Ruiz. More likely is it that this time Joshua will be so sick of the sight and sound of Kubrat Pulev, and so irked to have seen his year reduced to a single unfulfilling date in an empty restaurant, that he will aim to put on a performance worthy of a three-year wait.
Now knowing its value, Joshua won't waste time on a starter.

The Prodigy je britská hudební skupina, jejíž hudba se skládá z mnoha různorodých stylů od rave k hardcore techno s alternativně rockovými, breakbeat a punkovými elementy. Současní členové jsou Liam Howlett (skladatel/klávesy) a Maxim (MC/zpěvák). Leeroy Thornhill (tanečník/živé klávesy) byl členem kapely v letech 1990–2000, podobně jako tanečnice/zpěvačka "Sharky", která opustila kapelu po jejich krátkém společném účinkování. Až do své smrti byl frontmanem kapely tanečník a zpěvák Keith Flint, který 4. března 2019 ve svých 49 letech spáchal sebevraždu.

The Prodigy se objevili na undergroundové rave scéně na začátku 90. let. Od té doby dosáhli nesmírné popularity a celosvětové známosti. Některé z jejich nejznámějších skladeb: Charly, Take Me To The Hospital, Out of Space, Invaders Must Die, No Good (Start the Dance), Voodoo People, Firestarter, Omen, Breathe, Smack My Bitch Up!

Jméno The Prodigy se na přebalu alba Music for the Jilted Generation a na The Fat of the Land změnilo pouze na Prodigy, aby se na dalším albu objevilo opět celé The Prodigy. Jak Liam Howlett uvedl, jednalo se pouze o změnu loga na přebalech alba, nikoli o změnu názvu kapely.

Spolu s umělci The Chemical Brothers a Fatboy Slim patří k průkopníkům žánru, který se nazývá "big beat" (neplést s podžánrem hudebního stylu beat ze 60. let 20. století).

V červenci 2018 podruhé vystoupili na festivalu Rock for People v Hradci Králové.

Super Fly is synonymous with blaxploitation — and O'Neal's Youngblood Priest, the hipper-than-hip drug dealer who longs to go straight, was a quintessential figure in a genre known for its over-the-top characters.
Ron O'Neal: After
He might be forever known as Youngblood Priest, but O'Neal held several notable roles after the blaxploitation era came to an end. In 1982 he was a regular on the series Bring 'Em Back Alive, and he co-starred as Cuban Officer Colonel Bella in 1984's Red Dawn. Later he would have small roles as Synclaire's father on Living Single and Whitley Gilbert's dad on A Different World. Sadly, O'Neal died of pancreatic cancer in 2004 — on the same day Super Fly came out on DVD in the U.S.
Antonio Fargas: Then
The go-to supporting actor of blaxploitation, Fargas appeared in Cleopatra Jones, Foxy Brown, Across 110th Street and Shaft.
Antonio Fargas: Now
Fargas had an active career in blaxploitation flicks, but he's best known for a role he landed in the mid-'70s — Huggy Bear on the TV show Starsky and Hutch. He hasn't stopped since. The 64-year-old has had a steady career of cameos and guest appearances and was a recurring character on Everybody Hates Chris.
Yaphet Kotto: Then
The Cameroonian-American actor made a name for himself in mainstream movies such as The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968 and the 1973 James Bond movie Live and Let Die. But he earned his blaxploitation cred in Across 110th Street and Truck Turner with Isaac Hayes.
Yaphet Kotto: Now
Kotto went on to appear in a number of films, including 1979's Alien, and he played Lt. Al Giardello on the critically acclaimed TV drama Homicide: Life on the Street.
Bill Cosby: Then
He was a buttoned-up 1960s agent in I Spy, a successful stand-up comedian, a Tonight Show guest host and the star of an eponymous TV show before blaxploitation films even came into existence. Nevertheless, he was a prominent figure of the era, secretly helping to finance Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and starring in the 1974 star-studded comedy Uptown Saturday Night, a lighthearted answer to violent blaxploitation dramas, as well as Let's Do It Again (1975) and A Piece of the Action (1977).
Bill Cosby: Now
And the rest is history. Bill Cosby went on to become Bill Cosby, the man responsible for Heathcliff Huxtable. He's also known for being a prominent philanthropist and, in more recent years, an outspoken critic of some segments of the black community.
Vonetta McGee: Then
The leading lady of blaxploitation, McGee made movies that are on the must-watch list for any student of 1970s black films — Hammer, Blacula, Melinda and Shaft in Africa, in which she plays an emir's daughter and the love interest of Richard Roundtree's Shaft.
Vonetta McGee: After
McGee continued to act in movies and held recurring roles in several 1980s TV shows, most notably Cagney & Lacey and L.A. Law. Black August (2007), starring Gary Dourdan, is the last film McGee appeared in before she died of cardiac arrest in 2010.
Billy Dee Williams: Then
A popular leading man opposite Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues (1972) and Mahogany (1975), Williams also starred in lesser-known flicks like 1973's Hit! and 1972's The Final Comedown (aka Blast). The titles alone are blaxploitation all the way!
Billy Dee Williams: Now
Although he did some prominent work in the 1970s, it was his jobs in the 1980s that put him on the map, from his 1980 role in Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back to a recurring job on Dynasty to, of course, his infamous Colt 45 ads. Williams still appears on TV and in film; in 2011, he guest-starred on USA's White Collar.
Sidney Poitier: Then
The acclaimed actor — in 1963 he was the first black man to win the best actor Oscar, for Lilies of the Field — earned his blaxploitation cred with 1974's Uptown Saturday Night, which he directed and co-starred in with his friends Bill Cosby and Harry Belafonte. He also directed and starred in Let's Do It Again and A Piece of the Action.
Sidney Poitier: Now
Poitier would go on to direct several more films, including the 1980 Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder hit, Stir Crazy. One of our most respected living actors, he earned an honorary Oscar for his contributions to American film in 2001 and a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. The Bahamian-American actor currently serves as the Bahamas' ambassador to Japan.
Curtis Mayfield: Then
A successful R&B singer in the 1960s, Mayfield reached superstardom with his sound track for the movie Super Fly. Rife with social commentary and criticism of the film's characters, the album might as well be the sound track for the entire blaxploitation era. He also wrote and produced the sound track for 1974's Claudine, the vocals of which were performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips, and for the 1976 film Sparkle, with Aretha Franklin on vocals.
Curtis Mayfield: After
In 1990 Mayfield was paralyzed from the neck down in an onstage accident. While he couldn't play the guitar, he continued to write, produce and sing. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, shortly before his death.
Jimmie Walker: Then
Best known for his hammy character J.J. Evans on Good Times, Walker also appeared with his TV dad, John Amos, in the Cosby-Poitier buddy flick Let's Do It Again.
Jimmie Walker: Now
When Good Times ended in '79, Walker went back to his stand-up comedy roots and has been a fixture on TV, with cameos on such shows as The Love Boat, Cagney & Lacey, Scrubs and Everybody Hates Chris. An outspoken conservative, Walker is famously chummy with Republican commentator Ann Coulter.
Judy Pace: Then
Pace's big break was the role of Vickie Fletcher on the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place, but she also starred in the Ossie Davis-directed blaxploitation film Cotton Comes to Harlem, based on a Chester Himes novel.
Judy Pace: Now
Like many popular black actors of the '70s, Pace would land guest spot after guest spot on popular TV shows in the '80s and '90s. She met baseball player Curt Flood on an episode of The Dating Game, and they were married from 1986 until his death in 1997. She most recently appeared alongside Anthony Mackie in the Spike Lee-directed 2004 Showtime movie Sucker Free City.
Richard Roundtree: Then
An icon of the blaxploitation era, Roundtree made waves as the title character in the 1971 flick Shaft, about a badass detective with few scruples. Over the next three years, he would also star in two Shaft sequels — Shaft's Big Score! and Shaft in Africa — as well as a Shaft TV series.
Richard Roundtree: Now
Since his turn as Shaft, Roundtree has had no shortage of work, appearing in a steady stream of films and TV shows — including recurring roles on A Different World, Beauty and the Beast, Roc, Soul Food, Desperate Housewives and Heroes. In 1993 Roundtree was diagnosed with a rare form of male breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. He now speaks out about his experience to raise awareness of the little-known disease.
Jim Kelly: Then
Kelly's niche? Martial arts-themed blaxploitation movies such as Melinda, Black Belt Jones and Three the Hard Way, which were largely inspired by the karate master's appearance in the 1973 Bruce Lee hit Enter the Dragon. Kelly, a middle-weight karate champion who opened his own dojo in L.A. in 1971, also trained his co-star, Calvin Lockhart, for the fight scenes in Melinda.
Jim Kelly: Now
After the martial arts blaxploitation moment passed (nothing lasts forever), Kelly switched back to his first love: sports. The accomplished athlete went on to become a professional player on the senior tennis circuit. He now works as a tennis coach and is still a popular attraction at conventions such as San Diego's annual Comic-Con.
Pam Grier: Then
When you think of blaxploitation movies, you think of Grier — the first lady of the genre and the ultimate '70s sex symbol. The trailer for her 1973 film Coffy, for which she is widely credited as the first African-American female action star, advertises her character as the "baddest one-chick hit squad that ever hit town!" The tagline would prove true for her later iconic films, 1974's Foxy Brown and 1975's Friday Foster and Sheba, Baby.
Pam Grier: Now
With minor TV and film roles in the 1980s and early '90s, Grier might have gone down simply as an answer to a film-trivia question. But then Quentin Tarantino tapped her for his 1997 film Jackie Brown, a hit that paid homage to her blaxploitation roots and spurred the revitalization of her career. Since then, Grier has played recurring roles on Law & Order: SVU and Showtime's The L Word. Last year she released a memoir called Foxy: My Life in Three Acts.
Jim Brown: Then
After his record-setting NFL career ended in the late '60s, Brown reinvented himself as an actor, starring in mainstream films such as The Dirty Dozen and in blaxploitation flicks Three the Hard Way and Take a Hard Ride, with fellow football player-turned-blaxploitation star Fred Williamson.
Jim Brown: Now
Brown has acted in several movies and TV shows, including Keenan Ivory Wayans' 1988 blaxploitation spoof I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. In 2002 Spike Lee directed a documentary about his life called Jim Brown: All American.
Denise Nicholas: Then
While Nicholas was starring in the early-1970s series Room 222, she was also forging a career in blaxploitation, with roles in Blacula (1972) and The Soul of Nigger Charley (1973).
Denise Nicholas: Now
After completing a six-year run on the TV series In the Heat of the Night in 1995, Nicholas enrolled in the Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California. By 2005 her critically acclaimed first novel, Freshwater Road, had hit bookshelves. Nicholas won the 2006 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award for debut fiction and is now at work on her second novel.
Rudy Ray Moore: Then
As the inimitable Dolemite, stand-up comedian Moore amused (and shocked) a generation. The character, a pimp known for his one-liners, is as much a pop-culture reference as John Shaft and Youngblood Priest. Moore followed up his 1975 film the next year with a sequel, The Human Tornado.
Rudy Ray Moore: After
Moore would profit off of the legacy of Dolemite until his death in 2008. His X-rated style made him a hero of the rap community, and he made guest appearances on Big Daddy Kane, 2 Live Crew and Snoop Dogg albums. In 2000 he reprised his role as Dolemite for the first time in 20 years in Big Money Hustlas, a movie created by and starring the Insane Clown Posse.
Isaac Hayes: Then
Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? Shaft! And who is the man responsible for the famous Shaft theme song? Isaac Hayes! In addition to writing the well-known song, for which he won an Academy Award (making him the third African American to win an Oscar), Hayes also appeared in front of the camera as the star of the 1974 film Truck Turner.
Isaac Hayes: After
Hayes failed to recapture his music success of the early '70s and turned to acting in the '80s, appearing in Escape From New York (1981), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). But he recaptured his pop-culture icon status with the critically acclaimed 1995 album Branded and a role as the horny chef on Comedy Central's South Park. The singer-actor, who was also known for his charity work, died of a stroke in 2008.
Gordon Parks: Then
Already an accomplished photographer (American Gothic, Washington, D.C.), author (The Learning Tree) and civil rights activist, Parks turned to film directing in the late 1960s and would direct Shaft in 1971, followed by several other blaxploitation films. He also helped finance Super Fly, which was directed by his son, Gordon Parks Jr.
Gordon Parks: After
Parks continued to write books and make movies, and in 1989 he composed the music for Martin, a ballet based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. He died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 93.
Tamara Dobson: Then
The statuesque model-actress, who posed in Vogue before making it in the movies, gave Pam Grier a run for her money in 1973's Cleopatra Jones, about a model-secret agent, and its 1975 sequel, Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold.
Tamara Dobson: After
Dobson's career suffered after the blaxploitation heyday, and she appeared in few films and TV shows. At one point, there were rumors that a remake of Cleopatra Jones starring Whitney Houston was in the works, but the project never materialized. Dobson died in 2006 of complications from multiple sclerosis and pneumonia.
Max Julien: Then
A classically trained actor, Julien made a name for himself during the blaxploitation era with his star turn as Goldie in 1973's The Mack. He also wrote and co-produced another blaxploitation classic, Cleopatra Jones.
Max Julien: Now
Although his performance as Goldie lives on — his voice is sampled in countless rap songs — Julien left blaxploitation and, for the most part, film behind after Cleopatra Jones, refusing to participate in its sequel. Julien has lived off the radar since, save for a few guest appearances, including a notable role in the 1997 Bill Bellamy comedy How to Be a Player.
Calvin Lockhart: Then
Whether he was playing the shady Rev. Deke O'Mally in Cotton Comes to Harlem or the karate-kicking Frankie J. Parker in Melinda, the Bahamian-born actor was a fixture in popular blaxploitation films.
Calvin Lockhart: After
Lockhart returned to his native Bahamas in the 1990s, directing several stage productions there and starring in the 2007 film Rain. He died in 2007 of a stroke.
William Marshall: Then
Marshall had a delightfully campy turn in 1972's Blacula, about a 1780 African prince who is turned into a vampire after seeking Dracula's help in stopping the slave trade. He's sealed in a coffin until 1972. Shenanigans — and a spate of copycat blaxploitation horror flicks — ensue. Marshall also starred in a 1973 sequel, Scream, Blacula, Scream.
William Marshall: After
A classically trained actor, Marshall followed Blacula with several TV roles but is perhaps best known as the King of Cartoons from 1986 to 1991 on the cult classic Pee-Wee's Playhouse. He died in 2003.

Q: Python: How to delete a file that is being written onto I'm using the Instabot API to automate uploading a picture every hour, that all works fine. The problem is every time I run the code a config file is created, within that folder there is a 'log.txt' file which is always being written onto while the code is running.
For some reason if I want to run the code again I need to delete the config file, then the code works just fine. But I want to automate this code to repeat every hour.
I've tried the following code to delete the folder once the picture is uploaded but I get the following error:
 os.remove(my_file)

error
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: (file-name)

So my question is how can I delete the config folder, while its been written onto while my code is running.

"Love and Knowledge Triumph over Ideology"
Content: +2 Moderately questionable elements.
Zhang Ziyi of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON stars in THE ROAD HOME as an 18-year-old woman in rural China in the 1950s who falls in love with a teacher from the big city. The love between them endures political oppression. Decades later, their son celebrates his parents' love and the values they shared when the father suddenly dies after trying to raise money for a new schoolhouse in the village.
THE ROAD HOME is directed by Zhang Yimou, who made another enchanting movie last year about rural teachers, NOT ONE LESS. THE ROAD HOME focuses on character and atmosphere. Taking center stage is Zhang Ziyi's beautiful smiling face, often accompanied by a lyrical refrain of Chinese music. This refrain reappears during the funeral scene of the father and at the movie's wonderful climax, which plays like IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. THE ROAD HOME is not just a poetic celebration of the love between two people; it's also a celebration of transcendental values such as love, knowledge, community, service, and hard work. The only things missing are a truly biblical worldview and a focus on the love, joy and knowledge which Jesus Christ brings.
(Ro, BB, Pa, D, M) Romantic worldview with solid moral elements & brief references to superstition & veneration of ancestors, but no real idolatry or worship of false gods/ancestors; no foul language; no violence; no alcohol use; smoking; and, Communist officials order teacher back to city for questioning concerning obscure political "mistakes."
THE ROAD HOME is a beautiful love story from China. Rated G, it is a poetic celebration of the love between a teacher and his wife, as well as a celebration of a life of community service and a celebration of simple, but profound, moral values.
Zhang Ziyi of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON stars in THE ROAD HOME as an 18-year-old woman in rural China in the 1950s. The movie opens, however, about 45 years later when her son, Luo Yusheng, returns to her rural village when his father, her husband, dies in the middle of winter.
When he arrives, the mayor tells Yusheng that his father died in a hospital in another village while trying to raise money for a new school building. The father had been the village's only teacher ever since the old school building was built when he first arrived. The mayor also tells Yusheng that his mother, Zhao Di, wants to follow age-old local customs for the funeral. Thus, she will personally weave the funeral cloth on her loom, the only one left in the village, and the local men must carry the coffin from the hospital back to the village on the only road.
The mayor wants Yusheng to dissuade Di from her desires. He fears that even if he could find men willing to carry the coffin many miles through the winter snows, there would not be enough of them. Also, since most of the young men have left the village to work in faraway cities, including Yusheng, the village now consists mostly of old men.
While Yusheng ponders this problem, he recalls the story of how his mother and father met and fell in love. It is a story that everybody in the village knows by heart. As Yusheng reflects, the movie flashes back to the past and shows what happened. Di was 18-years-old when 20-year-old Changyu came to be the village schoolteacher. Everyone considers her the prettiest girl in town, and she immediately sets her sights on the handsome newcomer.
Di is very shy, however, so she follows him when he walks his students back and forth along the village road. She even starts drawing water from the little-used old well next to the schoolhouse so she can hear Changyu reciting from the little book which he himself wrote to teach his students about moral values, the passing of the seasons and the importance of knowledge.
Their developing romance is curtailed when the teacher is ordered back to the city for obscure political "mistakes." After months of being away, Changyu is rumored to be due back. When he doesn't show, Di decides to set off through the snow and cold to look for him in the city. She nearly dies, however, and Changyu leaves without permission to be by her bedside. Di recovers, but the two lovers are kept away from one another for two years as punishment. When he finally returns along "the road home," Di is there to greet him, and they are never separated again.
Back in the present, their son, Yusheng, realizes that his mother's wishes must be granted, no matter what it takes. Di, however, has one more request for her son, a request that leads to the movie's final epiphany.
THE ROAD HOME is directed by Zhang Yimou. Famous for earlier movies like JU DOU (1990) and RAISE THE RED LANTERN (1991), Zhang in the last year has turned toward simpler, more wholesome movies like THE ROAD HOME and last year's NOT ONE LESS, another movie about teachers in rural China. Zhang says he's been making such movies as a reaction against "really vulgar commercial films" and the materialism he sees in modern China.
Thus, Zhang focuses on the characters in his story. Taking center stage, however, is Zhang Ziyi's beautiful smiling face, often accompanied by a beautiful, lyrical refrain of Chinese music. This refrain appears whenever she follows her eventual husband along "the road home" and whenever she stands near the schoolhouse, hearing him teach the students. It reappears during the funeral scene of her husband and at the movie's wonderful climax, which plays like a foreign version of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
THE ROAD HOME, therefore, is not just a celebration of the love between Di and Changyu. It's also a celebration of simple rural values and a celebration of the learning process. In that sense, viewers will come away with a strong feeling of respect and veneration for transcendental values. Although the director, Zhang, appears to take a romantic worldview toward the inherent goodness of the human race, he combines this romantic worldview with strong moral elements. Several times in the movie, Changyu's students (past and present) recite from the personal, non-ideological journal of Changyu, "In everything there is a purpose. Spring is the season to sow. Know the present. Know the past. Show respect for your elders." At another point, Di tells her son, "Work hard and make a good life." Thus, transcendental values, such as love, knowledge, hard work, and community, endure. They triumph over ideology.
The only things missing from THE ROAD HOME are a truly biblical worldview and a Christological focus on the love, joy and knowledge which Jesus Christ brings. The movie, however, is a step in the right direction for Chinese cinema. As such, it may have something to teach Christian filmmakers who want to reach past the anti-Christian bigotry of today's society and show people the transcendental values which God wants mankind to follow.

Imagine Dragons Singer apologizes For Preaching Anti-Gay Messages
Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds has apologized for preaching Mormon teachings that homosexuality is a sin.
Reynolds was honored with the Hero award for the Trevor Project and in his acceptance speech, he admitted he wasn't always accepting of the LGBT community.
"I knocked on thousands of doors. For those two years when people asked me what the doctrine was and they said, 'Hey, I'm gay,' I thought that it was a sin because that's what I had been raised to teach," Reynolds, who is Mormon, told the crowd. "I hold regret about that until this day. I wish I could re-knock on those doors and tell them I was wrong. I can't do that. All I can do is come forward to you today and say I'm sincerely sorry."
The singer credits his wife, Aja Volkman, for changing his viewpoint.
"She taught me what I already knew in my heart, which is to be gay is beautiful," Reynolds says.
He also told Billboard that he received letters from gay fans after the Imagine Dragons' song "It's Time" appeared on "Glee". In the episode, Blaine (Darren Criss) sings the song to his boyfriend, Kurt (Chris Colfer). Fan reactions led Reynolds to realize that he needed to speak up on the issue.
"One of the reasons I've felt such a need to speak out on this is I've gotten countless emails and letters from fans around the world who said, "I'm gay, but I know you're Mormon so that probably means you don't accept my lifestyle, but I love 'It's Time' and your music.' That was devastating and it broke my heart to get letters like that. I've written back to these people to tell them, "No, I do support you and I'm here for you,'" Reynolds told Billboard.
Reynolds is now organizing Love is Loud, a concert to benefit the LGBT community, on Aug. 26, 2017 in Provo, Utah. Proceeds will benefit Encircle, Stand4Kind, GLAAD and the Trevor Project. Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn, an out Mormon, will also perform.
