What people are saying about Miami
Nice half day trip from Miami if you need a break from day drinking and beach bumming! Tour guide and bus drivers are wonderful. Easy meet up and pick up. Saw about 5 gators and if that's not enough the show has another 5 lounging gators. Don't worry, doesn't feel like a Tiger King situation, Everglades staff is transparent about prioritizing care for the Gators and habitat!

Most adults remember math instruction as listening to a teacher's explanation followed by lots of rote practice. This focus on memorizing procedures without context and deep understanding resulted in an adult population that largely feels they are "bad at math." This negative memory has resulted in a profound cultural dislike of math, contributing to our current situation of too few students choosing to become much-needed mathematicians and engineers.
Changes elicited by the Common Core State Standards and the growing popularity of the Singapore Math approach have generated significant change to math instruction in the elementary classroom. Rather than an approach that focused on finding the answer to 4+4, students are now asked to share many ways they can make the value 8.
While 4+4 will likely be the first option shared, it won't take long for students to come up with other factors like 2+6, 1+7, and 3+5. Students may not be able to define the commutative property of addition, but they will realize that 6+2, 7+1, and 5+3 are also valid responses.
More time is required for students to begin producing responses like 12-4, but instead of telling students what to think, teachers now give them the opportunity to reason. As soon as an alternative to simple addition is suggested, the wave of new solutions grows almost exponentially.
A renewed focus on students explaining their work helps teachers determine whether learners understand concepts. Time that used to be spent on rote repetition of a procedure is now spent on arranging, rearranging, and thinking about a problem. The implicit message of "what's another way" is accepted so long as students can demonstrate the mathematical thinking behind their suggestions.
The use of base-ten blocks and Cuisinaire rods, created in the 1920's, are not new. Their use in modern classrooms provides students a way to conceptualize numbers in a variety of ways. These tangible objects are called manipulatives.
The prevalence of technology in the classroom introduces the concept of virtual manipulatives. Although they are not tangible, digital manipulatives can still be grouped and regrouped to create models that help students see and internalize mathematical concepts. Following is a sampling of the virtual manipulatives found in Wixie.
In the same way that student can move Cuisenaire rods on a table to form equal values; students can arrange representations to achieve the same effect using a computer. As they see and play with different ways to formulate the same value, they build stronger number sense and a better conceptual understanding of factors. As students play with virtual manipulatives, they build cognitive models that teachers can actually see, allowing them to quickly perform formative assessments and identify misconceptions.
Virtual manipulatives offer easy opportunities for constructing with shapes. As students participate in this type of play , they naturally sort, compare, match, and begin to create patterns, exactly the sort of mathematical thinking outlined in the Common Core State Standard for Mathematical Practice: 7. Look for and make use of structure.
Dr. Walter Drew and Dr. Henry Olds found benefits to building mathematical thinking as students first build patterns with physical shapes and then continue their work with the resulting patterns on the computer where they experimented further "in an environment where the risk factor is substantially reduced. Trying out ideas is faster and easier and mistakes or wrong turns are easily undone" when students work with virtual manipulatives. The resulting iconic pattern play helps students begin to understand how to apply elements of geometric patterns like rotation and reflection in a way that is both engaging and beautiful.
Using art is a great way to help students see the beauty of math as well as help them connect math to the world around them. Most students have seen tessellations in tiled bathrooms, kitchens, or courtyards. Many are also familiar with the work of M.C. Escher. Students can use the paint tools in programs like Wixie to create tiling patterns as well as their own original tessellations.
Wixie's paint tools also let students play with symmetry in photos and even paint using linear and radial symmetry.
As they play with math on the computer through art and virtual manipulatives, students begin to create and solve their own problems. Creative digital tools provide a safe place they can experiment and easily undo mistakes. This environment encourages learners to try new approaches and "fail forward" as they work to solve problems they create.
Creative technology tools can help us foster and support a classroom culture that values multiple approaches, questions more than answers, process more than product. Encouraging creativity in math instruction can help us develop mathematical thinkers who have the "resourcefulness, persistence, and desire to explore alternative methods of solution." (Mann, 2005) In other words, we can create a generation of students who love to play with math.

Q: Performing a rolling average with criteria in R Been trying to learn the most basic of items at first and then expanding the complexity. So for this one, how would I modify the last line to where it would be create a rolling 12 month average for each seriescode. In this case, it would produce an average of 8 for seriescode 100 and 27 for seriescode 101.
First, is the sample data
Monthx<- c(201911,201912,20201
         ,20202,20203,20204,20205,20206,20207
         ,20208,20209,202010,202011,201911,201912,20201
         ,20202,20203,20204,20205,20206,20207
         ,20208,20209,202010,202011)

empx <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,20,31,32,33)

seriescode<-c(100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110)

ces12x <- data.frame(Monthx,empx,seriescode)

Manipulations
library(dplyr)

ces12x<- ces12x %>% mutate(year = substr(as.numeric(Monthx),1,4),
                           month = substr(as.numeric(Monthx),5,7),
                           date = as.Date(paste(year,month,"1",sep ="-")))
                           Month_ord <- order(Monthx)

ces12x<-ces12x %>% mutate(ravg = zoo::rollmeanr(empx, 12, fill = NA))

A: If you want to continue using the tidyverse for this, the following should do the trick:
library(dplyr)

ces12x %>%
  group_by(seriescode) %>%
  arrange(date) %>%
  slice(tail(row_number(), 12)) %>%
  summarize(ravg = mean(empx))

A: You would just need to add a group_by(seriescode) which would then perform the mutate functions per seriescode:
Monthx<- c(201911,201912,20201
           ,20202,20203,20204,20205,20206,20207
           ,20208,20209,202010,202011,201911,201912,20201
           ,20202,20203,20204,20205,20206,20207
           ,20208,20209,202010,202011)

empx <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,20,31,32,33)

seriescode<-c(100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110,110)

ces12x <- data.frame(Monthx,empx,seriescode)
ces12x<- ces12x %>% mutate(year = substr(as.numeric(Monthx),1,4),
                           month = substr(as.numeric(Monthx),5,7),
                           date = as.Date(paste(year,month,"1",sep ="-")))
Month_ord <- order(Monthx)

ces12x<-ces12x %>% group_by(seriescode) %>% mutate(ravg = zoo::rollmeanr(empx, 12, fill = NA)) # add the group_by(seriescode)

This produces the output:
# A tibble: 26 x 7
# Groups:   seriescode [2]
   Monthx  empx seriescode year  month date        ravg

I help visitors participate in the festivals at Lavandula, a lovely Swiss Italian farm just north of Daylesford in Hepburn.
In October 2017, I helped visitors make shapes such as stars, flowers, hearts, angels and fish out of willow. Pictured below is my basketry table set up in the grounds of this beautiful farm.
In January 2018, I helped visitors make lavender wands for the Harvest Festival. I got there early and was shown how to harvest the lavender using a scythe.
In May 2018, I helped kids and their families make straw dolls for the Autumn Festival…under the watchful guidance of the geese! Younger kids needed help from their mums, dad or sisters!
On January 13th in 2019 the Lavender Harvest Festival was very busy so there was a flurry of people making lavender wands throughout the day. People of all ages really enjoyed the activity and one family spent all afternoon making wands on their picnic rug. We also had some very young kids give it a go with the help of their parents. No better way to spend the day that weaving at Lavandula!

The Obesity Myth asks: lifestyle choice or genetic disease?
Fifty years ago obesity barely existed. Today, almost two out of three Australian adults are either clinically obese or overweight. So why, in the midst of a global obesity epidemic, are obese people judged, criticized and shunned, rather than being supported to improve their health?
The Obesity Myth is a new three-part documentary series, which challenges the commonly held view that obesity is the result of lifestyle choice.
The series follows the staff and patients at Melbourne public hospital Austin Health, where doctors are using new research to treat obesity as a genetic illness which is in alignment with the World Health Organisation's classification of obesity as a disease.
Through stories of hope, determination and adversity it reveals the broader challenges facing Australian society and medical systems as they try to deal with the global obesity epidemic.
International obesity expert Professor Joe Proietto is the head of Austin Health's Weight Control Clinic. He believes people are obese because of a certain genetic pre-disposition which means they experience significantly more hunger and need to eat more food to feel full than a thin person. Professor Proietto's approach to weight loss is sought after – patients often wait up to two years for an appointment, and treatment begins with an extremely low carb diet, often followed by appetite suppressing medication.
For patients who struggle on Professor Proietto's diet, the last resort is bariatric surgery, where most of the patient's stomach is permanently removed, or a lap band or balloon is inserted into the stomach. Headed by Ahmad Aly, Austin Health's bariatric clinic performs 80 operations each year under the public health system.
The Obesity Myth follows several Weight Control Clinic patients including Karen, a 40-year-old wheelchair-bound woman who tips the scales at 246kg and has been a patient at the clinic for over 12 months but is showing little progress; 27-year-old vlogger and musician, Flick, who spent all of her schooling years as the biggest kid in class; Tracey, a vivacious 48-year-old mum-of-two who has lost over 73kg in 12 months and is taking a chance and coming off her appetite suppressant medication after reaching her goal weight; and greyhound-loving Wayne who was diagnosed with weight-related diabetes as a teen and is now facing foot amputation aged 40.
Bariatric Surgery patients featured in the series include former New Zealand national gridiron player Robert who weighs more than 200kg and faces premature death if he can't lose weight; Huss, a Lebanese Australian boxer who is struggling to deal with the challenge of eating significantly less food post-surgery; and Lebanese-born author and academic Marie who's weight gain was a symptom of hormone-balancing medication and has put unbearable pressure on her prosthetic legs.
Alongside The Obesity Myth, SBS will offer a range of content exploring the wider issues of diet and health throughout September, including in-depth articles online via sbs.com.au/obesity, curated programming on SBS On Demand, an episode of Insight investigating eating disorders, a Dateline documentary looking at the most obese country in the world and a number of stories across SBS World News platforms.

Tracy Adole: proposed changes to accelerated schooling program will harm parents, students
Adole claims the Vancouver School Board's plans for the University Transition Program lack accountability and transparency
Photo via iStock
Open, transparent governance and public consultation are the foundational benchmarks of our democratic society.
We may not always agree with decisions made by elected officials, but we at least want to have our say.
Proposed changes to the University Transition Program (UTP) program have left Tracy Adole and other parents and alumni feeling like they don't have a say. Adole believes this is wrong and counter to those foundational pillars that make our city and country a fantastic place to live.
Adole and other concerned parents, students and alumni all share ties to the UTP – a highly successful, well-established program that includes partner groups from the Vancouver School Board (VSB), the education ministry and the University of British Columbia (UBC).
The UTP program was established almost 30 years ago and represents a critical, accelerated pathway for high-achieving students to expedite their academic and career dreams. The end goal is to lessen a student's time in high school and gain early entrance to UBC.
Those goals, and the program itself, are now facing drastic changes seemingly made in isolation and without consulting those affected the most: parents and students.
Three major shifts have taken place that caused much consternation and confusion.
A letter sent in December 2022 notified parents that the UTP program coordinator position was no longer and that VSB administration would take on those roles and responsibilities. This unexpected shift took place two months after student assessments had taken place.
The second unwelcome surprise concerned a shift in the open admissions process. Where previously anyone could apply, the process would now be closed to the public and based solely on teacher referrals.
The final change includes a shift in the admissions process, moving from October each year to March.
This, in no way, Adole claims, gives parents the necessary time to plan or to move their families should their child be accepted.
Adole is one of many parents asking the VSB to rethink these changes. She moved her family, along with 12-year-old daughter Alicia, from Coquitlam to Vancouver last year solely to join UTP. Had these scheduling changes been made prior to last year's move, her family would not have had the requisite time to plan a move across the region.
"My daughter was really struggling, and she was getting bored at her previous school," Adole explains. "Every Sunday night, my daughter would get into these very dull moods because she knew school was coming up. But now, she loves the UTP program. I don't want other families to miss out on this opportunity."
Beyond the logistics of moving a family, Adole is most concerned about the lack of transparency.
Recently immigrating to Canada from Nigeria, leaving her home for a new country was a significant step in Adole's life, steeped in unknowns.
"This is one of the reasons I left my country because when you have decisions and processes that are made in a single room without consultation, it's really sad," she says. "I have barriers to face as a new immigrant already, but having a program like UTP was a saving grace that I really appreciated."

...draws from the tradition and rhythms of Burkina Faso while incorporating contemporary electronic elements.
Burkina Electric is a group of musicians from Africa and Europe led by composer Lukas Ligeti, son of famed Hungarian composer György Ligeti.
Their music draws from the tradition and rhythms of Burkina Faso while incorporating contemporary electronic elements. Lukas explains Burkina Electric's formation:
"I received an unexpected call shortly before finishing university studies in my hometown of Vienna, Austria. The Goethe Institute, Germany's international network of cultural institutes, invited me to West Africa for a collaboration with traditional musicians...[which was] unexpected because I am not German, nor had I ever lived there. However, my friend Pyrolator (Kurt Dahlke) was not only German but a seminal figure in that country's experimental pop music. So I invited him to join me and a grand experiment began.
"We first traveled to Africa's west coast in the mid-90s, making our first attempts at creating what could be called African electronica. On our travels to Burkina Faso we met the singer Maï Lingani and guitarist Wende K. Blass. Soon, we invited two dancers to help us draw audiences into our unusual rhythms and celebrate the continent's unseverable connection between music and dance." – Lukas Ligeti

Veteran Kannada actor-director Shivaram dies at 83
Kannada actor S Shivaram, whose stint in the film industry spans more than six decades, died on Saturday. He was 83.
By: Express News Service | Bengaluru |
Updated: December 4, 2021 6:43:53 pm
Veteran actor S Shivaram passed away on Saturday. (File)
Senior Kannada film actor, director and producer S Shivaram passed away in a hospital in Bengaluru Saturday as a result of a brain hemorrhage. He was 83.
Shivaram has acted in over 200 movies in Kannada and was associated with the state's film industry for six decades.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai paid his condolences saying, "Shivaram's contribution to Kannada film industry is immense. He has left his stamp as assistant director, director, producer and actor in his six decade long professional life in Kannada filmdom. He made a mark as an actor in films like Sharapanjara, Shubhamangala, Nagarahavu directed by Puttanna Kanagal. The death of Shivaram even before the Kannada film industry could recover from the death of Puneeth Rajkumar has caused huge loss for Kannada cinema."
Born into a middle-class family in 1938, Shivaram was attracted towards theatre. He started his journey in 1958 as assistant director with many prominent directors of that time. His first appearance as an actor was in a supporting role in the film 'Beratha Jeeva' in 1965. His appearances in some of the critically-acclaimed movies of director Puttanna Kanagal such as Naagarahaavu, Shubhamangala and Chalisuva Modagalu earned him fame.
Alone with his brother S Ramanathan, Shivaram began a production house named "Rashi brothers" and went on to produce movies such as Gejje Pooje and Upasane. He also directed the movie Hrudaya Sangama in which legendary actor Dr Rajkumar and Bharathi played main roles.
He was a recipient of Dr Rajkumar Lifetime Achievement Award of Karnataka state. He was also a photographer by passion.

Festival Wrap-up 2019
And the 'Ross' goes to at the Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays
By Rod Urquhart
Bruce Williamson of Aurora won the 'Ross' Award for Best Production by a Director in the 2019 edition of the Third Annual York Region Festival of One Act Plays. The award for Best Performance by an actor was given to Fabian Levy-Hara of Richmond Hill in his performance in 'OUT,' which also won for Best Emerging Playwright given out to Ron Fromstein of Toronto.
The 'Ross' Award is named after the late Ross Bayley, who along with John Dowson, formed the Very Useful Theatre Company in 1993. Dowson headed up the Festival Artistic Committee (FAC) for this year's three-day affair, put on by the Very Useful Theatre Company, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Newmarket.
Other nominees for the 'Ross' were Patricia O'Hare, Joan Burrows and Jane Spence. Other nominees for Best Emerging Playwright were David Healey and Brooke Friendly (his first play). Other nominees for Best Performance by an Actor were: Tim MacLean; Laurie Laing; and, Colin Murphy.
The Third Annual Festival of One Act Plays ran over three nights, wrapping up Saturday, Nov. 9 with the awards ceremony. It saw more than 300 theatre patrons over the three nights at the historic Old Town Hall in Newmarket.
It featured six plays, two one-act plays each night, and three World Premieres. All funds raised by this Festival go back into the community. Tickets for this annual event were only $15 a night or $40 for a three-night pass.

John Dowson, head of FAC, and past-president of the VUTC, wanted to "express my sincere thanks to the members of the Festival Artistic Committee for their outstanding contribution to the one act play festival. It takes many people to put on the festival and they are all volunteers who gave of their time and money to produce these six plays."
Dowson thanked Stage manager Frank Johnston, who "kept the actors in line and organized the student stage hands." He thanked the student stage hands, as well and also Doris Keppler, who designed the program, posters and posted the event on social media. "She is truly a gem."
"Hats off to Rod Urquhart," he continued, for his "illustrious" public relations, and also VUTC President Paul Bath, who raised the sponsorship monies and "kept the festival going." Dowson offered his "distinct thanks" to the members of the Festival Artistic Committee, five of whom cast and directed five of the six plays – and five of the six directors were female!
The Festival Artistic Committee Directors were:
Joan Burrows who dug in, cast and directed 'OUT' and for her insights on live theatre and the festival were of overwhelming value;
Kay Valentine whose devotion to theatre arts is renowned, who directed and cast a play again this year the 'Remains of Greatness';
Patricia O'Hare who had her theatrical directorial stage debut in the festival for directing 'The Next Ivan Sharansky';
Joanna Kaufman for her yeoman work in directing the Theatre for Young Audiences play again this year; and,
Bruce Williamson who acted in 'Remains of Greatness' and directed the play 'Under the Bright Sun' and contributed incredible insights
In addition to their contributions to the Festival Artistic Committee the five committee members volunteered their time to cast, rehearse, build sets and direct five of the six plays in the festival
A singular thank you to Jane Spence who cast and directed 'True Love and the precise Nature of Miracles' bringing the production to the festival from Toronto.
That wraps up another year for the One Act Play Festival – stay tuned – for next year; many changes are planned, including putting the Festival on stage earlier in the year! And as Dowson concluded, "Thanks so much to everyone who came out to see the wonderful plays. See you next year! And, we definitely broke a leg."
Script Submissions 2023 Script submissions for the 2023 Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays have begun to arrive much to the delight of Reading Committee Chair, and past festival's award winning Director, Bruce Williamson.

Run Firefox 4 on a PowerPC Mac with TenFourFox
TenFourFox is an essential web browser for any Mac OS X user that is still using a PowerPC machine. It's a fork of Mozilla that is practically identical to Firefox 4, the only difference is that it includes support for PowerPC chips, meaning you'll get all the CSS3 and HTML5 support that Firefox 4 comes with, and perhaps more importantly, most Firefox add-ons are supported.
The developers have a pretty funny attitude about the project, here's part of their explanation as to why TenFourFox was created:
…we were horrified when Mozilla delivered the one-two punch of dropping both support for Tiger and our beloved Power Macs from Firefox 4. A quad 2.5GHz G5 isn't worth using to surf the web? Really? And you guys still support Windows XP?
Sure sounds ridiculous when they put it like that, doesn't it?
You can download TenFourFox directly from the developers site, it's completely free and has builds optimized for PowerPC G3, G4, and G5 architecture.
System requirements to run TenFourFox are a PowerPC G3, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8, 100 MB of disk space, and 256MB of RAM. Performance is apparently really fast, although they do caution that video playback will be poor on PowerPC Macs that are slower than 1.2GHz.
What are you waiting for? Breathe new life into that old Mac. Long live PowerPC!

[…] those PPC Macs running older versions of Mac OS X, don't miss TenFourFox, a modern FireFox port for older pre-intel Macs running 10.4. […]
PandaJ says:
The problem is that TenFourFox is designed for the author's own personal use and is therefore made to run on 10.4 without newer 10.5 features, namely hardware acceleration. In other words, it will run like crap on newer (10.5 capable) PPC Macs (or ones upgraded to that status; I have ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and 1.8GHz 7448 G4 here) that support hardware acceleration and Core Animation. The "Furb" builds keep acceleration intact and should feel much faster overall, although TenFour has a finished Javascript JIT compiler working and so it will do Javascript much faster (over 2x faster).
I understand the author sent the finished JIT compiler back to the Firefox team (which solves 1 of their 2 given reasons why they can't be bothered to support PPC) and they apparently don't care since it was all just a bunch of BS excuses to save them some work. They'll continue to support WinXP, though (from 2001 era).
I put most of the blame on Apple, though. They didn't have to remove PPC support from XCode (which effectively makes it a nightmare for newer software to easily include PPC support) and thus Apple shows its contempt for users of old machines, proving they only care about making more money trying to force you to upgrade your hardware even if it works fine for your needs. Apple has no soul anymore and Steve Jobs only cares about smart phones these days.
The latter can be shown the lack of progress in OSX (Lion) proper such as no OpenGL 4.x, still no resolution independent display despite support being announced clear back in Tiger, ancient graphic drivers that never get updated and therefore run games available on both platforms at 1/2 to 1/3 the speed of same hardware in Windows (not updating OpenGL doesn't help either), etc. Instead, iOS is being integrated back into OSX (App store added, so they can get their 30% of gross profits of ALL developers for the OSX platform), LaunchPad is slowly going to replace the Finder for a more 'iOS' feel to OSX (and one day will probably mean App store only for software thus removing all competition to Apple brand software; no Firefox at all, for example) and turning the Mac into a giant turd once again like it was in the OS9 days. Maybe they can go back to cooperative multi-tasking (iOS's piddly multitasking isn't much better) and bring Apple networking back and every other thing they seem to like to do to isolate the Mac from real computers (e.g. no USB3 and Thunderbolt on Mini-Display Port connector that no one else will use, etc.)
Donut says:
not sure if im the only one thats gotten poor performance out of TenFourFox. been using it for several months and always updating it.
but it lags so much that its almost unusable. i tried using a PPC build of Camino, and that runs great. its fast and pages render quickly. though of course it lacks extension support.
i've been using tenfourfox exclusively for about 6 months now on my soon to be extinct PPC mac pro box. love it. all the extensions and scripts i use all work flawlessly with it. i was using the builds in the link zedd posted prior to that…but tenfourfox has always seemed more stable for me. they also just recently implemented an update available notification too. much less of a headache than dealing with those beta builds and all that junk.
Zedd says:

And in a year or two, someone will be writing TenSevenFox to get Firefox 6 to work on the abandoned Intel architecture after Apple moves to ARM… say it ain't so!

Allied 2016 Review
Any wartime film usually has me on edge, although historic accuracy is usually played around with, you know that Nazi's were real and most likely did a lost worse than what's allowed to be shown in the cinema. Brad Pitt plays wing commander Max Vatan who teams up with Marion Cotillard as Marian Beauséjour behind enemy lines in Casablanca pretending to be a happily married PARISIAN couple…. Pitt's accent was decent but I'm sure in real life it would have exposed him instantly but then there would be no film! Obviously during World War 2 everyone was stationed all over the place but to play apart in a French resistance group to assassinate a German behind enemy lines surely you would want an actual French man… just in case?
No disrespect for the actors who are cast as Nazi's but they look SO evil and perfect for the role. August Diehl who also appears in Inglourious Basterds alongside Pitt plays Hobar a Nazi official who tests Marian and Max during a meeting to see if Max is worthy of an invitation to an event that their planned assassination is taking place, obviously Hobar has no idea of this plan. The scene is so simple yet terrifying because they are under pressure constantly being tested and questioned.
The first half of the film you see them staging their marriage in order to convince those behind enemy lines they are who they say they are. Eventually they fall in love however I wasn't completely convinced and I think this was intentional. Most critics have slammed the chemistry between the pair but I think they wanted you to always be suspicious of Marian as Max's wife. The film skips through time transporting us to one year later where they've got a daughter and it's all cute then BAM. Max is called to work and they tell him the worst news possible that his wife could be a German spy.
Although it's fictional, spy's were very present in the Second World War and that's what makes the story so intense because like I said before this shit did happen. The build up of tension between the pair is intense and you can see the strain Pitt's character goes through as he might be sleeping with the enemy… (who also birthed his child during an air raid with siren's screaming and bricks flying everywhere sooooo if she is a spy she really is doing the most for Germany!) Pitt fits the era so perfectly and I love war films that focus on more than just explosions and the literal horror of war.
Director Robert Zemeckis who brought us Forrest Gump and Back to the Future really sets up an exciting thriller that leaves you confused at all costs. They give you enough information to believe Marian is and isn't a German spy. The sound editors also ruined my ears, though the film hardly has any major action scenes some might of anticipated it to have, the cross over to different scenes really wakes you up.
It's the first time I've felt that a film ended well and didn't stray for any cinematic purposes but for the story and characters. ALSO JANICE IAN…DYKE. If you know you know but she makes an appearance as Pitt's on screen sister and actually loves girls this time AND she looks so good. No spoilers you'll have to go and find out what happens but I have no idea why the film hasn't been received as well because I thought it was amazing and exciting!

As we prepare for the Orange & White game, Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt addressed the media on Tuesday, highlighting some important notes from this past Saturday's scrimmage.
One of the highlights was the defense, according to Pruitt. He mentioned there was "more strain on the defensive side of the ball" and more effort than in previous practices and scrimmages. One of the exciting mentions of the defense was the pressure they got on the quarterback.
With only 24 toal sacks as a team last year and only four players totaling more than one sack, edge rushers have been a focus of Pruitt's defense this offseason. One edge rusher that stood out in the scrimmage was Kivon Bennett. After only playing in two games last year, Pruitt has praised the emergence of Bennett.
"Kivon Bennett had a good scrimmage," Pruitt explained. "He is a guy that we moved last year from defensive line to outside linebacker. We were fortunate enough to be able to redshirt him last year. He's gained some experience there. He still makes a few mental errors here and there, but I think he plays hard.
Another standout in this past Saturday's scrimmage was Deangelo Gibbs. After transferring from Georgia, Gibbs has seen reps on both sides of the ball, but he has recently been playing primarily on defense. Though the NCAA has yet to make a ruling on his status for this year, Gibbs has wasted no time making his presence known on the practice field.
Pruitt is planning to leave Gibbs on defense for the rest of spring so he can have equal reps on both sides. Gibbs' future position at Tennessee will be decided later.
On the offensive side of the ball, Pruitt seemed less than satisfied with the lack of explosive plays, as well as negative plays and not finishing. He mentioned that there was still trouble with the snaps. This was a problem mentioned earlier in the spring, and Pruitt is still less than thrilled about starting multiple plays off with a bad snap. Though there were some negatives, Pruitt was very encouraged by some smart corrections.
One of the things that Tennessee fans love about Pruitt is his forthrightness. He has never been in the business of making excuses, and that showed once again with his comments on Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano.
After praising Guarantano's leadership and his positive steps this spring, Pruitt was quick to note the redshirt junior's inconsistency in the scrimmage.
Pruitt did mention how well Guarantano has been controlling the new offensive system and said that the addition of Jim Chaney as offensive coordinator and his new system, the growth of Guarantano, and the experience from the wide receiver position have all factored into quite a few offensive highlights this spring.
This Saturday, all of the comments, concerns, and signs of growth will be put to test in front of thousands at the 2019 Orange & White Game. After totaling 151 plays this past scrimmage, Pruitt is hoping to get 65-70 snaps with each group this Saturday.
When asked about the format for the scrimmage, Pruitt eased the minds of Vol fans by simply stating, "We will play a game." That's a far cry from the wild scrimmage style of former head coach Butch Jones, and it will be a better evaluation tool for where the Vols are right now.

The new Pro Evolution Soccer demo went live on PlayStation Store for select countries at different times. So gamers in the UK or other countries may have access earlier. It's best to stay patient as the game may have a later release time for your country, or may not be available on a certain console yet.
A search on your actual PS4 at the PlayStation Store may not turn up the new "eFootball PES 2020 demo." If that's the case, search that on PS Store online. Or head over to this PES 2020 demo link (at PlayStation Store) on a web browser or mobile device. Once it's available, make sure you're logged into your Sony account and add it to the cart.

"The future of our economy and of our employment creation is heavily dependent on the success we achieve with Digital India," Kovind said after launching the Kerala government's ambitious Technocity project.
President Ram Nath Kovind Friday said the future of the country's economy and employment creation depends heavily on the success the nation achieves with Digital India. Terming Information Technology as "a force multiplier" for the entire service economy, Kovind said it has played a game changing role in health-care, education, tourism and many other industries.
"The future of our economy and of our employment creation is heavily dependent on the success we achieve with Digital India," Kovind said after launching the Kerala government's ambitious Technocity project. The jobs of tomorrow would come more and more from digital services and other opportunities that are derived from the Internet, he said. "I must emphasise that IT is not just important in itself. It is a force multiplier for the entire services economy," the President opined.
Pointing out Kerala's potential and growth in the digital sector, he said it is one of India's most connected states, with among the highest rates of mobile phone penetration. "Kerala is potentially a power-house of Digital India. I understand that the government is making efforts to bridge the digital divide and provide free Internet connections to two million poorer families by using a new optic fibre network," he said.
The President said the southern state's IT sector has been growing and among all other Indian states, it is currently ranked eighth in terms of exports by IT and IT-enabled services companies. "The IT sector provides direct employment to one hundred thousand (or one lakh) people in Kerala. This is only the tip of the iceberg. There is immense capacity to make these numbers grow," he said. Kerala's strengths in basic literacy and skills and the experience of the state's people in the services sector and in consumer driven industries make it "a natural for an IT ecosystem", he said, adding he is confident that the early development of Technocity would only accelerate this process.
Kovind lavished praise on the state's achievements in various sectors, including health care, education, tourism. He mentioned his recent trip to Ethiopia, where a large number of Keralites work as teachers. "Wherever I went and whomsoever I spoke to in Ethiopia, there was always mention of the role of Indian school teachers… Many of those teachers who are so remembered in Ethiopia, I was happy to learn, were from Kerala," he said.
Noting that many hospitals and medical centres in and outside the country cannot function without the "ever smiling and ever attentive sisters from Kerala", he said health care workers from the state, both men and women,are internationally sought after. Without the hard work of Keralites, the economies of the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries would not be the same, Kovind added.
The President earlier laid the foundation stone for the first government IT building at the Technocity campus by unveiling a plaque in the presence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Governor P Sathasivam, state Minister Kadakampally Surendran and other top state government officials.
Technocity, coming up on a 400 acre campus at nearby Pallippuram, is aimed at fostering emerging and high-end technologies and research and development in this regard. Once the IT park is operational, an additional 1,00,000 employment opportunities from leading and upcoming IT companies are expected to be generated in the state.

Greda Sunjska falu Horvátországban, Sziszek-Monoszló megyében. Közigazgatásilag Sunjához tartozik.

Fekvése
Sziszek városától légvonalban 20, közúton 29 km-re délkeletre, a sziszeki Szávamente és a Báni végvidék határán, a Sunja és a Száva folyók között, községközpontja  Sunja északi szomszédságában, a Kovarec-patak partján fekszik.

Története
Greda a megye egyik legősibb települése. 1334-ben a zágrábi püspökséghez tartozó plébániák összeírásában Ivan főesperes már megemlíti a gredai Szent Miklós plébániát is "ecclesia Sancti Nicolai de Greda" alakban. A plébánia alapításáról nincs írásos forrás, de bizonyos, hogy első említésénél jóval korábbi volt. A település 1400-ban "possessio Greda", 1402-ben "villa Greda" néven szerepel a korabeli forrásokban. 1526-ban II. Lajos király a gredai birtokot Keglevich Péternek adta. 1556-ban miután Kostajnica vára elesett ez a terület is török kézre került. Az állandó harcok elől a lakosság a biztonságosabb Nyugat-Magyarországra, főként a mai Burgenland területére menekült, mások török fogságba estek. A gredai plébánia kevés megmaradt lakossága a kostajnicai plébániához került. Az 1683 és 1699 között zajlott felszabadító harcokat a karlócai béke zárta le, melynek eredményeként a török határ az Una folyóhoz került vissza. A térség 1687-ben szabadult fel a török uralom alól. A kiürült területre hamarosan megkezdődött a keresztény lakosság betelepítése.

A Keglevichek a Felső-Szávamentéről telepítették ide jobbágyaik egy részét. Topolovaci uradalmuknak ehhez a részéhez abban az időben Gredán kívül még Bistrač, Selišće, Letina Gornja és Donja, Gradusa, Žreme, Krivaj és Sunja falvak tartoztak. Bár e terület hivatalosan a horvát bánok és a szábor fennhatósága alá tartozott az osztrák generálisok azonban védelmi célból a Zrínyi-hegység vidékére a török határövezetből érkezett pravoszláv vlachokat, köznevükön martalócokat telepítettek be, akik korábban török szolgálatban a horvát falvak és városok fosztogatását végezték. Ezzel lényegesen megváltoztatták e vidék etnikai összetételét.

1716-ban immár Sunja székhellyel megalapították a katolikus plébániát. Az egyházi vizitáció 1729-ben említi először 32 házzal. 1773-ban az első katonai felmérés térképén a település "Dorf Greda" néven szerepel. 1822-ben Sunján elkezdődött a plébániatemplom építése, egyúttal lebontották a Kovarec–patak mellett állt régi, rossz állapotú gredai plébániatemplomot. Az új templom felszentelése 1825-ben történt. 1881-ben megindult a vasúti forgalom, mely elősegítette a további fejlődést. A szomszédos kisvárossá fejlődött Sunja közigazgatási, gazdasági és kereskedelmi központ lett fejlett kézműiparral. 1895-ben megalakult a sunja-gredai tűzoltóegyesület. 1907-ben megkezdte működését az egyesület fúvószenekara.

A településnek 1857-ben 694, 1910-ben 839 lakosa volt. Zágráb vármegye Petrinyai járásához tartozott. 1918-ban az új szerb-horvát-szlovén állam, majd később Jugoszlávia része lett. A II. világháború idején a Független Horvát Állam része volt. A háború után enyhült a szegénység és sok ember talált munkát a közeli városokban. 1991. június 25-én a független Horvátország része lett. A délszláv háború idején sikerrel védték meg a horvát erők, de a harcok következtében házai majdnem teljesen megsemmisültek. Védői nagyrészt helybeliek voltak, de jöttek harcosok csaknem az egész ország területéről. A településnek 2011-ben 366 lakosa volt.

Népesség

Nevezetességei
A régi plébánia épülete a falu Sunja felőli bejáratánál áll. A 19. század első felében épült egyemeletes késő barokk-klasszicista stílusban. L-alaprajzú épület, melynek homlokzata az utcára néz. Részben kőből, részben téglából építették, nyeregtetővel, melyet hornyolt cseréppel fedtek. A település legrégibb fennmaradt épülete ma is egykori jelentőségét szimbolizálja. A falu ma már a sunjai Szent Mária Magdolna plébániához tartozik.

A településen több, védett, hagyományos népi építésű lakóház áll. Ilyen a 159-es számú emeletes ház, melyet fűrészelt deszkákból építettek. Az alsó tornácról lépcsőzet vezet fel a felső zárt gangra. Fennmaradtak az eredeti épületelemek, a nyílászárók. A berendezés a 20. század közepén készült. A 189-es számú emeletes fa lakóház 1909-ben épült, hosszúkás alaprajzzal, utcára néző homlokzattal. Tölgyfa deszkáit német módon kapcsolták össze. Itt is fennmaradt az eredeti szerkezet és a nyílászárók. Az emeletre vezető lépcsőzet félig zárt, mely egy zárt emeleti gangra vezet. A lakóházzal szemben még egy földszintes, két lakóterű épület is áll. A 148-as szám alatti házat valamivel 1898 előtt építették tölgyfából, falazott része 1905-ben épült. A régi szávamelléki ház legtöbbször nagyméretű emeletes épület. Vastag tölgyfadeszkából és gerendából építik, mely anyag legtöbbször faragott, de lehet fűrészelt is, melyet kötőgerendával rögzítenek. A tetők korábban zsindellyel voltak fedve, vagy hasított deszkával, ma viszont már a hódfarkú cserepet használják. Az ablaknyílások általában kis méretűek, két szárnyú fa zsaluval vannak ellátva. A földszint és emelet, valamint az emelet és oromzat között egy "krovec"-nek nevezett rész van, feladata a közvetlen esőtől védje az ablakokat. Az emeleti homlokzaton pedig faragott díszítés van.

If you have an agent that offers the insurance you need, you can learn from them all the kinds available. This article describes types of insurance, which kinds you need, and which you can do without if you are strapped for cash.
You can pay less for the different insurance policies you need if you bundle them together. Typically, companies offer discounts if you have more than one type of insurance policy with them. When you are shopping around for insurance, get quotes on how much it will cost if you bundle.
Try to look for the right insurance company in order to compensate for all your needs regarding insurance. If you consolidate all your insurance needs to one company, you may receive a large discount. If you change car insurance companies on one type of insurance and not the other, you may lose money as the rate increases on the other insurance you have with that company.
If you want to save cash, try an insurance bundle. For one set price, you can get home owner's and car insurance. Many companies will offer several different home insurance policies together. Even with the tempting discounts though, make certain to only get policies you actually need.
Explain exactly what happened to help your insurance take care of your claim. You should also take clear photographs of the damage. Don't attempt to falsify information to get more money. Not only would you not get paid, you will probably get into a lot of trouble.
Checking to see if your particular state is offering any information about an insurer can help you save money while purchasing a policy from a reputable company. If you do this, you'll be able to see what insurance prices are like in your area. Knowing this will allow you to get the best priced policy.
You should refrain from filing claims that are small, even if they fall under your coverage. Constant claiming will result in increased premiums, which could cost you more than the small claims were worth. Most companies offer discounts to customers who are careful and loyal, saving them a lot of money per year. Just in case there is an expensive accident, you will still have your full coverage.
Credit scores are important if you want the lowest insurance premiums. Insurance companies in most states use your credit report to partially determine your rates. If your credit gives insurance companies a reason to see you as a risk, they'll charge you more for your premiums.
You can lower your insurance premiums by raising your deductible, but it can have some negative consequences. However, you need to remember that raising your deductible will incur more out-of-pocket expenses from you, should you be involved in an accident. Add these miniscule expenses when try to figure out the best choice for you.
Many people get confused about insurance. You want to have the best coverage available as you never know what might happen, but the cost of comprehensive coverage can be prohibitive. The trick to landing a great deal on insurance is to find the best information available. In the article below, you will read some great tips on how you can handle the process of purchasing insurance.
Make sure you get current quotes before choosing or renewing your policy. Each insurance company is different and uses different types of criteria for policy premiums they have. With all this criteria, there is a large variation in insurance policy prices between companies. Try shopping around and getting a minimum of three quotes prior to picking a company.
Bundle your insurance policies with a single company to save money. Bundling your auto and homeowners policies with one company is a common money-saving technique. When you're getting quotes for insurance, don't forget to ask how much it would be if you had both policies with the same company.
Try to look for the right insurance company in order to compensate for all your needs regarding insurance. You can save some money and get a break on premiums if you move all of your insurance policies to the same provider. Separating the car insurance from your home insurance company to receive a better rate on your car insurance, may actually increase what you pay for your homeowners insurance!
If you want a quick response to your claim, describe clearly what happened. Take pictures of the damages. Make sure to tell the truth. Do not lie or greatly exaggerate the damages to scam the insurance company for more money. Not only can it result in no funds being paid out, it can also land you in legal trouble.
You have to be able to decipher the policy to get adequate insurance. Do not be afraid to get more information from your insurance company. If you are not sure that you believe the insurance company, ask a friend who understands such matters to help you with that determination.
If the time has come for you to find a new policy provider, check if your current state gives you any kind of facts or data about local providers and their premiums. You will have a better idea of what the insurance rates in your area are. Establish a budget beforehand and find the prince-range from each company you query, thus providing an initial process of elimination.
Always document your claims and keep accurate records. This will make your claim experience smoother. Write down every interaction with the claims department in case you need to pull details about what has been occurring and what promises have been made to you. After speaking with someone about your claim, you should follow up with a written account of the conversation; this ensures that all parties are on the same level.

REVIEW: 'Halloween Ends?' We should be so lucky

The new "Halloween" trilogy comes to a thudding end with the aptly named "Halloween Ends," putting into question what this whole thing was even about.

Title: "Halloween Ends"
Runtime: 1 hour, 51 minutes
Director: David Gordon Green
Website: www.HalloweenMovie.com
When the franchise was revived in 2018 with "Halloween," there was a lot of promise and energy behind the returns of iconic slasher Michael Meyers and actor Jamie Lee Curtis. But after the direct sequel, "Halloween Kills," proved to be a bummer in 2021, this new threequel continues the downward spiral of boring mediocrity.
"Halloween Ends" is a bad movie, a bad franchise film and a bad ending for this specific trilogy.
Four years have passed since the events of "Halloween" and "Halloween Kills," and Michael Meyers has been in hiding, while Laurie Strode and her granddaughter have picked up the pieces and have started to live a normal life. But evil rears its ugly head again when the granddaughter's new love interest becomes Michael's protege.
First things first, "Halloween Ends" is not an engaging movie in its own right. The kills that make a slasher film worth watching are few and far between, with nothing particularly unique or memorable about them. There's nothing clever or new to say about the slasher genre either. Some new kid shows up and takes over for Michael Meyers and just kills a bunch of people who were mean to him at the start of the movie. He's not an engaging character, nor is anyone else around him.
Second, this is barely a "Halloween" movie. Michael Meyers himself, the iconic slasher villain, is barely in the film. This new protege, who was never in any of the previous movies, comes out of nowhere and takes over for Michael for a vast majority of the film. So if you want to watch Michael Meyers do his thing, you're going to be largely disappointed.
The other major franchise character, Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is a shadow of her former character. Curtis doesn't phone it in, but she's not particularly engaging either.
Thirdly, and the pandemic can be blamed for some of this, but "Ends" does not really work as the ending of "Halloween" and "Halloween Kills." Those two films took place over the same night, with Michael Meyers on a bloody rampage, and Laurie Strode armed to the teeth to take him down. Those films had a lot to say about the nature of evil, of mass hysteria and how Michael Meyers was an unstoppable, supernatural killing machine.
None of that carriers over into this third film. The time jump takes away all of the tension, and the surviving characters all mellow out completely. Michael Meyers is a shadow of his former self. And the new killer comes out of nowhere, with no build-up from the previous movies. So as a trilogy, this final film is just not satisfying.
I have a hard time believing even diehard "Halloween" fans will enjoy this weak entry limping towards the finish.
"Halloween Ends" is playing in theaters and is available to watch at home on the Peacock streaming service.
