Q: Dragging an element relative to initial click I have a mousemove event that I add to an element on a mousedown event, then I remove it on a mouseup event.
On the mousemove event I'm firing this function where I'm subtracting half of the width and height of X and Y to centre the image:
dragImage(e) {
    const width = this.getStyle(e.target, 'width').split('p')[0];
    const height = this.getStyle(e.target, 'height').split('p')[0];
    const X = e.pageX - (window.innerWidth / 2 - window.innerHeight / 2) || e.touches[0].clientX;
    const Y = e.pageY || e.touches[0].clientY;
    const stopTop = Y - (height / 2) > 0;
    const stopBottom = Y + (height / 2) < this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'height').split('p')[0];
    const stopLeft = X - (width / 2) > 0;
    const stopRight = X + (width / 2) < this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'width').split('p')[0];
    const stopTop = Y - (height / 2) > 0;
    const stopBottom = Y + (height / 2) < this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'height').split('p')[0];
    const stopLeft = X - (width / 2) > 0;
    const stopRight = X + (width / 2) < this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'width').split('p')[0];

    // check if element is within vertical bounds
    if (stopTop) {
        this.image.style.bottom = '';
        this.image.style.top = '0px';
    } else if (stopBottom) {
        this.image.style.top = '';
        this.image.style.bottom = '0px';
    } else {
        this.image.style.bottom = '';
        this.image.style.top = `${Y}px`;
    }

    // check if element is within horizontal bounds
    if (stopLeft) {
        this.image.style.right = '';
        this.image.style.left = '0px';
    } else if (stopRight) {
        this.image.style.left = '';
        this.image.style.right = '0px';
    } else {
        this.image.style.right = '';
        this.image.style.left = `${X}px`;
    }

    return false;
}

I've tried subtracting the offset of the element from the pageX and pageY and it gets halfway there, but the element being dragged flickers because every other X/Y value is way off, so the values could be 900, 500, 900, 500 etc.
What could be causing the changing values and am I overcomplicating things? All I am trying to do is drag an image without centring it around the pointer, kept within a boundary.
Thanks.
E - Adding more code for clarification:
I add the first set of mousedown, mouseup and mouseleave events in the constructor:
if (this.isMobile) {
        this.image.addEventListener('touchstart', e => this.enableDrag(e));
        this.image.addEventListener('touchend', e => this.disableDrag(e));
        this.image.addEventListener('touchcancel', () => this.disableDrag());
      } else {
        this.image.addEventListener('mousedown', e => this.enableDrag(e));
        this.image.addEventListener('mouseup', e => this.disableDrag(e));
        this.image.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => this.disableDrag());
        this.image.addEventListener('click', e => e.cancelBubble = true);
      }

These events add and remove the following function, which enables the dragging:
enableDrag(e) {
      e = e || window.event;
      e.cancelBubble = true;
      e.preventDefault();

      if (this.isMobile) {
        this.image.addEventListener('touchmove', this.dragEvent);
      } else {
        this.image.addEventListener('mousemove', this.dragEvent);
      }
    }

disableDrag() {
      if (this.isMobile) {
        this.image.removeEventListener('touchmove', this.dragEvent);
      } else {
        this.image.removeEventListener('mousemove', this.dragEvent);
      }
    }

A: Based on this: "What could be causing the changing values and am I overcomplicating things? All I am trying to do is drag an image without centring it around the pointer, kept within a boundary.", I'd make three suggestions:

*

*your boundary conditions are too complicated, just set top and left properties and forget about bottom and right

*based on the above, i think you want the drag to be offset from where the user initiates the drag. in which case, you have to compute that in the mousedown event and just use it here.

*I haven't done JS code to manipulate the DOM in a while, but back in the day, getBoundingClientRect was the preferred way of getting the position/dimension of a DOM object (rather than querying the DOM straight)

Taking this into account, you can simplify your code as such:
dragImage(e) {
    var imageBoundaries = this.image.getBoundingClientRect();
    var containerWidth = this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'width').split('p')[0];
    var containerHeight = this.getStyle(e.target.parentNode, 'height').split('p')[0];

    const X = (e.pageX || e.touches[0].clientX) - offsetX; /* where offsetX is defined as where the user initially clicked on the image in the mousedown event */
    const Y = (e.pageY || e.touches[0].clientY) - offsetY; /* ditto */

    if X <= 0 {
        // hit the left boundary
        X = 0
    } else if X + imageBoundaries.width >= containerWidth {
        // hit the right boundary
        X = containerWidth - imageBoundaries.width
    }

    if Y <= 0 {
        // hit the top boundary
        Y = 0
    } else if Y + imageBoundaries.height >= containerHeight {
        // hit the bottom boundary
        Y = containerHeight - imageBoundaries.height
    }

    this.image.style.left = `${X}px`;
    this.image.style.top = `${Y}px`;

    return false;
}

This will clamp the image to the boundary of the window (assuming you want to see the whole image at all times). You can fiddle with the if conditions if you are willing to let the image move out of the viewport a little bit.
Finally, drag and drop is notoriously hard to get right and I would usually run to a third party for this functionality. Something like Dragula is a sinch to setup the most common cases of drag and drop that I have seen with. Of course, if this is for learning then yeah, roll your own :)

Q: Check / Uncheck a ToggleButton From a StoryBoard in WPF I have an animation that expand / collapse some StackPanels, in the window there are some ToggleButtons that must be unchecked when the StackPanel is collapsed. I have the animation like this:
<Storyboard x:Key="cmdUnchecked">
   <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="StackPanel1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(FrameworkElement.Height)">
      <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.3000000" Value="37"/>
   </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>

This hides the StackPanel, but I need to uncheck the ToggleButton from other events.
Is it possible to uncheck the ToggleButton From this StoryBoard?
An if so, do I need to verify if it's already checked / unchecked?

A: You can use an ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames like so:
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="YourToggleButton" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(ToggleButton.IsChecked)">
    <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="False" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

You should not need to check if it's already checked since setting it to false when it's already false should have no side effects.

A: You should use BooleanAnimations to animate Boolean values:
     <BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="YourToggleButton" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsChecked">
           <DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame Value="False" KeyTime="0:0:0"/>
     </BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

You can put your DoubleAnimations in ToggleButton.Triggers as EventTriggers on RoutedEvents Checked and Unckecked, then just check/unckeck the toggle button with BooleanAnimation and ToggleButton will automatically run the double animations to change height of stackpanel

Myths include: SEO is for cheaters, too much regard for page rank and the paying-for-directories conundrum.
Social media is a double-edged sword. Links re-tweeted and re-posted on various social media sites are getting increased attention from search engines because the people working on the search engines understand that those links represent entities which are currently popular. On the other hand, the people working on search and spam detection understand that social media is filled with spam, and marketing agencies specializing in "gaming" social media sites by advanced and creative spamming/advertising techniques. Ultimately, social media is becoming more of a factor in search rankings, and because there is lots of spam in social media, the search engines likely give a higher fault tolerance to suspicious activities because if they didn't, they would have to penalize a very large number of people, and they can't realistically do that. Just be careful not to push your luck.
Search Engine Optimizers do employ a number of techniques that may be seen by some as spam. They tend to get their sites linked to from just about anywhere they can get away with. Such practices have given SEO's a bad name over the years. But SEO's also make the web better. They create many links that unify the web and bring related content closer together, making it easier to surf, and increasing the chances of people finding what they are looking for. In many ways, while SEO's are often responsible for spam or bad search result findings, probably much more frequently when we do surf to something interesting or find what we want via search, it is the work of SEO's to help us find the content and we should appreciate it.
Paying for directories has been losing popularity over the years, and in May 2010, Google changed their algorithm in a way that dropped many sites which were ranking high largely due to techniques like paying for directory placement. That made paying for directories even less attractive that it was already becoming. Even if people pay to be placed in link directories, few people understand what value they are getting when they buy a placement in a directory.
Here is the breakdown of how sites should approach paying for directories. The best paid directory is the Yahoo directory and after that, the quality drop is quite steep. If you are a big and established site, likely not even a Yahoo directory listing will help you in any noticeable way because you are already at quite a peek. If your site is small or young, and needs that extra little boost, perhaps the Yahoo directory listing will provide just the boost you may need. If you have an appetite to pay for more directory listings, try to aim for vertical directories which focus on theme of your site. But paying for directories other than Yahoo is generally not recommended.
This once popular method has become nearly extinct because search engine companies try to destroy and discourage link-exchange schemes, but this approach still works extremely well. In fact, if a site links to other sites, but none of them link back, search engines see that as a little bit of an unusual occurrence and a bit of a red flag. It only makes sense that a site would link to other sites with similar content, and those sites would link back. So don't refrain from linking back if it makes sense to do that. As a rule of thumb, when something makes local sense to do, don't worry too much about search engines.
No matter how many tools a person can use to check which sites link to their sites, every tool shows different results. Some data always overlaps, some just doesn't get found by different tools. Each back link finding crawler has different crawl algorithms and find different sites in different parts of the web. In order to have a more precise approximation for who is linking to you, try to use more than one tool to check who links to you. But in the end, some links will get lost and might not be indexed, or ever shown to you in a tool you use.
This is a common saying and in many ways it is true. First you have to create the content, then the search engines have to crawl and index that content, and then you have to build links from different part of the web to that content. Then it takes time to do analysis on the success of the campaign. So yes, if you took this approach it might take a number of months. But in a business environment, 6 months can be a lifetime. The truth is that Google has become so good and fast at ranking and re-ranking sites, and then distinguishing good links from useless ones, that it can take as little as 3-4 days to determine whether something you tried will work or not. In my experience, one of my sites got a Wikipedia link (very trusted by search engines) and 3 days later, I saw that site jump from the 6th page to the 4th page for a very difficult 1-term keyword I was targeting.

Q: Why "int" variable doesn't print negative zero? In the following program, float variable print negative zero.
//g++  5.4.0

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    float val = 0;
    val = -val;

    std::cout<<val<<std::endl;
}

Output:
-0

But, in following code
//g++  5.4.0

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int val = 0;
    val = -val;

    std::cout<<val<<std::endl;
}

Output:
0

print positive zero.
Why int variable doesn't print negative zero?

A: The usual way to handle negative integers in computers is by encoding them using two's complement. And using two's complement it's not possible to have a negative zero.

A: Numbers with floating point consists of sign, exponent and fraction. If sign is 1, its negative and if sign is 0, its positive number.
As you can see on example below

While negative numbers in computer are usually handled by twos complement so if number has most significant bit 1, you have to convert it from twos complement to get real value. For example on 8 bits.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

First step: Reverse bits
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Second step: Add 1
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Third step: Change sign
So result is -128.
In other words you cant have -0 in twos complement.

A: There's no such thing as negative zero in the set of mathematical integers.
Some rarely used machine representations of integers do have more than one representation of zero, and in this case one of them may be customarily called a "negative zero". The C++ language however doesn't allow exposing such representation to the programmer through normal integer APIs. So even if your computer has such a representation, which it probably doesn't, it will not be printed as -0.
On the other hand, the most common representation of floating point numbers has signed zeros, and the C++ standard specifically allows for an implementation to expose the sign to the programmer.

A: That's because the binary representations of int and float are different from each other.
An int consists of 32 bits, the most significant one being the sign bit. The highest possible value of int when the sign bit is true is 11111111111111111111111111111111, which is -1. So negative zero isn't possible.
Signed floating point numbers, on the other hand, are divided up into three parts - sign, exponent, and mantissa (fraction). So, when the fraction part is equal to zero,  the whole number is equal to zero. When you toggle the sign bit (which is essentially what you did by val = -val), the number is technically still zero, but when you tell cout to convert that number to a string of decimal digits that you can read, it sees that the sign bit is set to 1 and just throws the minus sign at the beginning of it. i hope that makes sense


Wright complimented the Lady Buccaneers' tenacity as a whole. She pointed out their team-oriented mentality that has helped them reached this point, saying it was something Central needed in order to have a chance at victory.
Even with the team aspect in mind, there's no denying how pivotal Tiyah Johnson has been for the Lady Red Devils this season. She delivered repeatedly in Central's victory over Auburn to clinch the berth to Birmingham, finishing the game with a team-high 17 points. She was then named the Central Regional's MVP for her body of work this postseason.
It seems more than likely that Johnson will lead the Lady Red Devils' charge once again come tip-off time.
Wright and Johnson spoke after the Auburn game about the team's goal to "get on the bus" to Birmingham, which was an objective the team came up with in the preseason. Wright said the returning players from the 2015-2016 team, which lost to Jeff Davis in the first round, looked at what worked and what failed in preparation for the coming season.
That introspection and drive to their goal inspired several team members to make it happen.
Wright's keys to the game are far from complex. She said her team needs to be ready to play the full 32 minutes, as one slip-up or hesitation can mean all the difference. Cutting down on turnovers is a must, just as executing on each free-throw attempt Hoover affords them.
As far as what she'll tell her players before game time, Wright said she already has her message picked out for the big moment.
At least some things come easier with experience.

Innovate or Comply? How Automotive Hypervisors Enable Both
By Richard Bellairs
Connected vehicles are here to stay. And that brings plenty of opportunity to innovate — as well as challenges in compliance. Virtualization may be the answer.
The Rise of Automotive Virtualization
Vehicles used to have standalone systems for each function. Vehicle control. Telematics. Diagnostics.
Today, there are more integrated systems handling multiple functions. This includes advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment. And virtualization technology can provide a solution to some of the system design challenges.
As vehicles components are virtualized, it creates opportunities for development teams. They can reduce complexity and speed up development times, for instance. This can be a competitive advantage.
But virtualization also brings security concerns and compliance constraints. Using a hypervisor can help you address these concerns.
Why Use an Automotive Hypervisor?
Hypervisors provide a layer between the operating system and the hardware.
Type 1 vs. Type 2 Hypervisors
Type 1 hypervisors are the most popular. They're deployed on top of system hardware. They're also known as bare metal hypervisors. The Xen Project, for instance, develops an open source type 1 hypervisor.
Type 2 hypervisors run on top of a host operating system. They're also known as hosted hypervisors.
How Hypervisors Protect Embedded Systems
An operating system running on a hypervisor doesn't have access to real hardware resources. And because hypervisors virtualize software environments, they can be isolated from each other.
This is key for components with different ASIL levels. They can be kept separate, so they don't need to be recertified for ISO 26262 with every system change.
That's why embedded hypervisors are important for compliance, particularly in the automotive industry. Plus, using hypervisors can protect safety-critical applications from hackers, too.
Compliance Concerns With Automotive Hypervisors
The automotive industry is heavily regulated, with strict safety requirements. It's critical that every component of a vehicle is safe. Failure isn't an option. Systems must be designed to prevent failure. And that's why all automotive software must comply with ISO 26262.
The first step in ISO 26262 compliance is identifying the system's automotive safety integrity level (ASIL). This is important for determining the risk each piece of software poses to the vehicle. And the ASIL level determines what you need to do to ensure safety.
The next step is in Part 6 of ISO 26262, which addresses software development. This section includes several compliance tables that lay out what you'll need to do to comply (in relation to your ASIL level).
A compliant automotive hypervisor will need to comply with the design methods in Table 8: Design Principles for Software Unit Design and Implementation.
Here are the methods outlined in Table 8:
1a. One entry and exit point in subprograms and functions.
1b. No dynamic objects or variables, or else online test during their creation.
1c. Initialization of variables.
1d. No multiple use of variable names.
1e. Avoid global variables or else justify their usage.
1f. Limited use of pointers.
1g. No implicit type conversions.
1h. No hidden data flow or control flow.
1i. No unconditional jumps.
1j. No recursions.
Using MISRA® coding rules will help you comply with design methods in Table 8 of ISO 26262.
Here's an example of how an ISO 26262 method from Table 8 maps to MISRA coding rules.
ISO 26262 Table 8 1a. relates to:
MISRA Rule 14.4:
Do not use the goto statement
A function shall have a single point of exit at the end of the function
More on ISO 26262 compliance >>
How the Xen Project Hypervisor Achieves Compliance
What Is Xen Project?
The Xen Project is an open source hypervisor that allows multiple operating systems to run on hardware simultaneously.
Who Contributes?
Many development teams contribute to the Xen Project. Contributors include Alibaba/Aliyun, AWS, AMD, Arm, Bitdefender, Cavium, Citrix, EPAM, Intel, Huawei, Oracle, Qualcomm, Suse, and XILINX.
Why Coding Standards Are Important for Functional Safety
Open source is great for innovation, but that makes it difficult to be compliant. Embedded hypervisors need to meet security requirements and achieve safety certifications.
Using a coding standard is key for safety and security.
By checking open source code against a standard, such as MISRA, you can ensure it's safe, secure, and reliable. And applying MISRA to an open source hypervisor helps to make it suitable for use in safety-critical, embedded applications.
How to Apply Coding Standards
Applying and enforcing coding standards can be difficult. Using a static code analyzer makes it easier.
The Xen Project uses Helix QAC to apply MISRA rules. This ensures the Xen hypervisor is MISRA-compliant. And that is critical for demonstrating ISO 26262 compliance — which automotive vendors require.
So, Helix QAC makes it possible for automotive vendors to use the Xen Project hypervisor.

Get Ready For Breakfast At Tiffany's
Thursday, 12th Nov 2015
There's a reason why breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and even more so when it's at Tiffany's! Joining Pixie Lott on stage as Moon River beauty Holly Golightly will be Verity Rushworth, who will be the first to take on the role in the UK tour of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
UK audiences can look forward to seeing Verity take on the part from 2 May to 11 June next year at performances taking place at His Majesty's Aberdeen, Nottingham Theatre Royal, Theatre Royal Bath, Glasgow's Theatre Royal, King's Theatre Edinburgh and Wycombe Swan.
The role was first made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Truman Capote's famous tale about charming Holly Golightly, a vibrant young writer living in New York during the 1940s. As well as catching the eye of a number of wealthy suitors, including a millionaire playboy and future president, it is an admirer by the name of Fred who she is most intrigued by. However as Fred is more down-and-out than rich and famous, their romantic future soon becomes uncertain and slightly complicated.
Rushworth is no stranger to the stage nor television and has played the role of Donna Windsor in Emmerdale for 11 years. Her theatre roles include Velma Kelly in a production of Chicago at the Leicester Curve, Grace Farrell in Annie at the West Yorkshire Playhouse as well as Maria in a national tour of The Sound Of Music and Penny Pingleton in Hairspray at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London. The actress has said she is "absolutely thrilled" to have the opportunity to play her dream role of Holly.
Capote's story has been adapted for the stage by award-wining playwright Richard Greenberg and will feature a selection of familiar songs from the era as well as original music by Grant Olding. The UK tour will be followed by a limited 12 week run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End from 30 June to 17 September 2016, starring Pixie Lott in the leading role.

The Obamas had the best speeches of #DNC.
Michelle scores better than Barack, though.
Listening to fear-mongering speeches at #RNC, it sounds like these people are living in the imaginative world full of flesh-eating zombies.
How many #Trumpence supporters does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, they live in an eternal darkness.
Knowledge is to know that an orange is a fruit. Wisdom is not to elect an orange as a president. Stupidity is to believe that an orange can build the wall.

Every year, we celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. If you have some flexibility in your curriculum, it is great to take a day or two and do some fun Earth Day activities. If you already teach science, it is really easy to pick a topic that should fit into your curriculum. I've compiled a list of activities, projects, articles, and movies you can use this month. Find one or two that catch your eye and have fun!
Carbon Footprint Calculator- Have students calculate their carbon footprint at www.footprintcalculator.org. If you would like a worksheet to accompany the activity, click here.
Quadrat Biodiversity Survey- Go outside and have students complete a biodiversity survey. You can mark off quadrats with string, meter sticks, or even borrow hula hoops from the PE teacher. Here is a worksheet you can use for this activity.
Air Quality Lab- How clean is the air you are breathing? Use this simple 2 day lab to look at particulate matter in the air. (Microscopes required).
Learn About Acid Rain- If you are lucky enough to have rain during April, collect some of that rain water! Have your students compare the pH of tap water, bottled water, and rain water. They will be shocked how low the pH of rainwater is (It is generally around 5.6)!
Build A Water Filter- Millions of people around the world don't have access to clean drinking water. Challenge your students to build a water filter with every day resources. Here is a free lesson to get you started from NASA.
Urban heat islands- Here in Phoenix, we have a major urban heat island problem. If you live in a large city, chances are you do too. Teach students about urban heat islands, and have them go outside and record temperatures of different materials on your school campus. Here is a lab worksheet you can use.
Build a Solar Cooker- If it is warm enough where you live, solar cookers are really fun to make! I let students use whatever materials they want. I've had them bring in shoe boxes, pizza boxes, and even pringles cans. Cook up some smores and have a gooey treat.
Simulate an Oil Spill Cleanup- This lesson from National Geographic is really engaging! Students use vegetable oil, water, soap, food coloring, and other inexpensive materials to simulate an oil spill and analyze the best way to clean it up. You can check it out here.
How Much Waste? Have your students see how much trash they produce by having them carry their trash around for a day. Give each students a grocery bag and the next day in class they can weigh their bags and analyze what percent is food waste vs recyclables etc. You may get some groans, but it is a very eye opening experience for them!
Plan a Fundraiser- Have your students plan a school fundraiser for an organization such as Water Is Life or One Tree Planted. Even small donations go a long way!
Neighborhood Clean Up- Have students organize a neighborhood or park clean up near your school. It is also a great way to earn some community service hours they may need for classes or clubs!
Virtual Field Trip- Don't have the funding to take your students on a field trip? Try a virtual one instead! Many sites such as Discovery have cool virtual experiences for students to see things that they wouldn't normally have an opportunity to see. Here is a list of more options.
Plant a Tree on Campus- I know this sounds cliche, but honestly when I've done it in the past students really enjoy it and never forget it. I've had students that graduated come back and check on their tree. Call around to a few local nurseries, and they will often donate a tree for free to a school, or you can do a small fundraiser on campus to raise money for one. You can also check out this freebie that has students measure the worth of one tree.
Make an Infographic- Assign your students an Earth Day related topic (water pollution, renewable resources, recycling, etc) and ask them to do research and make you an infographic. Piktochart is a great and free website you can use to make info graphics. If you would like some worksheets to help guide students through the infographic making process, click here.
A Long Walk to Water- If you run a book club at your school or your library has multiple copies of this book, you might want to give it a try. It is a really quick read about kids in Sudan who struggle with having potable water.
Pacific Garbage Patch- Have your students heard of the Pacific garbage patch? Find an article on it (such as this one on newsela) and have students read about pollution in our oceans. Have them brainstorm ways to fix this problem.
Below is a list of documentaries and movies that are related to sustainability, conservation, and climate change on our planet. Preview before showing to make sure they are appropriate for your students.
Story of Stuff- This Youtube channel tracks consumer products from production to landfill. Choose a product you think your students might be interested in.
The Lorax- The original is available on Youtube.
Chasing Coral- available on Netflix.
Before the Flood- available on Netflix.
One Strange Rock- available on Netflix.


"Buffy the Vampire Slayer." When he was on that show, he tended to be relegated to the brooding boyfriend role most of the time. However, after Season 3 of "Buffy," he left to spin off onto his own show set in Los Angeles, where the character finally had room to develop on his own, and ultimately became far more dynamic than he ever was on "Buffy," and perhaps even more interesting than Buffy ever became on her own show.
WARNING: Spoilers for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" below.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was fairly straightforward in its portrayal of good and evil. Most vampires, demons and monsters were inherently evil, and most humans were inherently good. The only monsters who weren't evil were Angel, who was cursed with a soul, and Anya, a demon who was cursed to be mortal and forced to live among the humans, but they both started off as evil before special circumstances forced them to change. On "Angel," one of the first characters we're introduced to, Doyle, a demon who uses his visions to help people in need. Throughout the series, we meet dozens of demons just trying to exist in the world.
The ongoing big bad of "Angel," the law firm Wolfram and Hart, is full of normal human beings who are more truly evil than most of the demons they encounter on either show. Even the main characters themselves don't always do the right thing, and the right thing isn't always black and white. The whole team ends up working for the evil "Wolfram and Hart" in Season 5, constantly on the line of trying to prevent the firm from doing evil or letting the evil corrupt them.
Buffy Summers was a high school girl, chosen to be the Slayer who would stand against the forces of darkness. In the first season, she's only 16, so in addition to her duties as The Slayer, she tries to navigate through high school, dating, family and friendship. It's not an uninteresting premise, but the concept of trying to survive high school is one familiar to all of us, and for some, not a time that we care to remember.
Angel was born in Ireland in 1727 and was turned into one of the most vicious vampires of all time. After 150 years, he was cursed with a soul by a clan of gypsies, and with that came the crushing guilt of every evil thing he had done as a vampire. His life became a never-ending quest for atonement for his evils under a crushing weight of self-hatred and guilt. He strives to help those in need because he has the blood of thousands of innocent lives on his hands. The concept of living as a broken adult who hates who they used to be is something many can relate to, and creates an infinitely more complex and interesting character.
Wesley Wyndam-Price began on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as the teacher's pet tattletale to the Watcher's Council, who didn't approve of how Giles was handling Buffy's training. He was an annoying character whose only purpose was to be hated by the audience and as comic relief at how much of a loser he was, and in those goals, he succeeded. Just like Angel though, when he made the move to being a main character in the second season of Angel, everything changed, and he turned into a fan favorite.
When Wesley was fired from the Watchers Council after failing to control the Slayer, he went on his own to become a rogue demon hunter in Los Angeles. He joins up with Angel Investigations to help the hopeless and becomes a leader who does what he knows is right, regardless of the cost. Throughout the series, he's the man who makes the hard decisions, even when he has to make them alone. He develops the most endearing love story of the series, and grows from a loser into a hero.
Even from the very beginning of the series, Angel's similarities to Batman were many and obvious to the audience. In fact, without actually carrying the license of the "Batman" title, it might be one of the best Batman tv shows we've ever gotten. Angel roams the streets and rooftops at night, dressed all in black, with a number of homemade gadgets to help with his fight against evil, including spring-loaded wrist-mounted stakes and even a grappling hook.
He even has a black car that he's very attached to throughout the series that the vampire, Spike, refers to as the "Angelmobile." The most compelling similarity between the two though, is their personality. They're both brooding, private loners, with tragedy in their past who have dedicated their lives to altruistically helping people in need and ultimately, making their city a better place. With Angel being the head of "Angel Investigations," they're even both detectives.
Both "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" have their share of tragic moments and arcs. Character deaths hit hard on both shows, but Angel deals with tragedy in a more adult and poignant way. Angel kills off major characters far more often, and each time, every character is given room to explore the impact it has on them. When Doyle dies in the first season, Cordelia spends the rest of the series dealing with emotional repercussions of that. Arguably the only death on "Buffy" that ever managed this was her mother, Joyce. Even when Tara dies, the only one it really seems to affect deeply for more than an episode is her girlfriend, Willow, and the audience.
The entire concept of "Angel" is a tragedy. A man suffering hundreds of years of guilt for the murder and cruelty he unleashed on the world, who is on an impossible quest for redemption and cursed with never being allowed to experience true happiness ever again, lest he unleash that evil and cruelty again. He has a heart full of compassion and love, yet he can't allow himself to feel love or happiness.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a show built for comedy at its core. The concept is funny, the characters all say funny quippy things, even Buffy's name is kind of funny, and it's certainly a very funny show, but Angel's humor is more subtle and better timed. On "Buffy," nearly any time Xander or Oz is on screen, you can expect some funny sarcastic quips. It's only when things are absolutely dire and tragic that no one is making jokes, and even then, Xander might have an offhand joke to make.
On Angel, the situation is almost always dark, so when a character says something funny, it hits you harder because you're not expecting it. Instead of being "quippy," comedy is often derived from the situation. In the first episode, Angel leaps into his car to chase after a bad guy in an extremely tense moment. His key doesn't work and he looks over and realizes he's in someone else's car. In another episode, a girl asks him to dance, and he has a vision of what's possibly the goofiest dance ever performed. The comedy works better because it's juxtaposed with realism and tragedy.
Cordelia Chase started on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as a ditzy, mean, high school Queen Bee, but like every character who came over to "Angel" full time, she became a three-dimensional, complex and interesting character. The former mean girl became a broken adult trying, and sometimes failing, to do the right thing any way that she could. She went on to become Angel's main love interest in a slowly developing process throughout the series.
She also deals with a sense of guilt throughout the series for how she treated people throughout high school, even from the first season of "Angel." In the fourth season, she goes into a coma after being possessed for nearly an entire season by an ancient demon, and in the Season 5 episode, "You're Welcome," returns to help Angel one more time before saying goodbye to Angel, and dying, making her the longest-running character in the Buffyverse to die, and one of the most heartbreaking.
Angel had a few love stories throughout its run, but it was never a focus and never a priority for the writers. This led to better dramatic writing, and when they did occur, better relationship writing. The ongoing "will they, won't they" relationship between Fred and Wesley is maybe the most compelling of either "Buffy" or "Angel," and even though it got off to a rocky start (and end), Angel's relationship with "Cordelia" was far more mature and realistic than his relationship with Buffy ever was.
Angel's curse of having a soul came with an addendum. If he was to ever experience a moment of true happiness, his soul would be taken away, and he would become the evil, cruel Angelus once again. It happened once on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and he killed dozens of innocent people, including the woman that Giles loved, in the cruelest and most heartbreaking way possible.
go bad at any time is a risky move, then actually turning him into the villain for over 25% of a season is brilliant insanity.
While "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" had a different "Big Bad" for each season with a clean beginning and end. In "Angel," there is sometimes a particular evil focus for each season, but the real "Big Bad," the true evil behind everything in "Angel" is the demonic law firm, Wolfram and Hart. They make their first appearance in the very first episode of "Angel," but at the time, their significance isn't really even hinted at. They represent a wealthy vampire who murders women and then uses the law firm to get out of any trouble he finds himself in.
The inter-dimensional firm is run by an ancient order of evil only referred to as the "Senior Partners," whose ultimate goal is to perpetuate "man's inhumanity to man," just the everyday evils that humans are willing to commit against one another. In that goal, they can never truly be vanquished, because that inherent evil will always exist. Angel never actually encounters a "Senior Partner" as they work entirely behind the scenes, but he does assassinate their Earthly liaisons, "The Circle of the Black Thorn." Sticking with the message of the show, evil can never be truly defeated.
Spike was never really an accepted part of the gang on "Buffy" and always remained a kind of "outside man," even until the end when he sacrificed himself to save the world. Not long after he gave his life though, he turned up in Angel's office, and the chemistry with team Angel clicked so well, it made you wonder why he wasn't on this show to begin with. He clicked particularly well with Angel, the only other vampire in the world with a soul, but in a "sibling rivalry" kind of way that was fun to watch.
Spike and Angel have a long history together, spending almost a century torturing and feeding on the innocent, but even then they had a tense rivalry. When they're both on the side of good, that rivalry continues. Angel is always brooding over his guilt, while Spike barely shows signs of remorse, acting cocky and aloof despite being a killer for far longer. This digs at Angel, just as Angel's serious attitude digs at Spike.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle came to "Angel" under unusual circumstances even for a show where unusual circumstances are the rule rather than the exception. She was trapped in a hell dimension for five years where humans were slaughtered like cattle. She escapes to hide in a cave until Angel finds her and brings her back to the Earthly realm. For a while, she's not a character the audience thought they were going to enjoy. She's skittish, kind of crazy and has a pretty bad case of P.T.S.D.
However, she eventually finds her place within the group and on the show. Her skittishness transitions into a kind of sweet innocence, and her genius-level intellect makes her not only an asset to the group, but also into a love interest for Wesley, who's the only other major bookworm on the team. After three seasons of "will they, won't they" tension, they finally confess their love, just before Fred tragically dies and her body is thereon inhabited by the demon, Illyria.
In the season two episode, "Epiphany," Angel sums up the philosophy of the show perfectly in one quote: "If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, all that matters is what we do… Because if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world." The show begins with Angel on a quest for redemption, for his evil deeds, but he comes to realize that there is no balancing scale of good and bad deeds. Seeking to do good for the reward of redemption is a meaningless pursuit.
Even in the series finale, "Not Fade Away," the show ends with all the forces of evil charging toward Angel and his team in an alley. Angel smiles and says, "Let's go to work." Roll credits. While this angered some fans, it hits the message of the show perfectly. There is no grand conclusion where everything is wrapped up nicely. Doing the right thing and trying to stop others from suffering is a never-ending battle. Life is a series of struggles with no single enemy to overcome. The struggle always goes on.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is very much a story about growing up. Buffy has to navigate life as an outcast high schooler, try to balance a romantic life with her other responsibilities, go to college and eventually take care of her sister. While the "coming of age" tale is something familiar, it's a much more simple and finite concept than the theme of "Angel." Angel is an adult trying to live with himself and every damaging thing he's been through over the years.
High School is a formative time in people's lives, but most people looking back roll their eyes at the cliques, the struggle for popularity and the meaningless drama. Living as a broken adult with emotional damage in their past is something almost every adult can understand, because they continue to deal with it every day of their lives. This makes Angel more relatable for most people, and it tells an infinitely deeper, more complex story, with no clear end.
All good things must come to an end. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was originally meant to end after Season 5, but was revived by UPN, and some fans feel that it should have stayed dead. The series finale is decent, following Buffy and the gang along with the new potential Slayers as they take on an army of Ubervamps in Sunnydale High School. It's a fitting end to the series. Buffy finds normalcy in life and Sunnydale is destroyed along with the Hellmouth that plagued them for the entire series. Every loose end is wrapped up nicely.
"Not Fade Away," the finale of "Angel," doesn't tie up loose ends so cleanly, and in fact, cuts to credits moments before a massive battle between Angel's team and an army of evil. This is a controversial ending among fans, but it's the only ending that could have fit thematically with the rest of the series. Angel's quest was never to vanquish all evil and finally reach that mythical plateau of victory. From very early on in the series, he understood that his quest was about continuing to fight every single day, without end, because it's the right thing to do.
Are there any other reasons that prove "Angel" is better than "Buffy The Vampire Slayer?" Or maybe you just disagree with us entirely? Either way, be sure to let us know in the comments section!

Gophers' point guard Andre Hollins is questionable for Tuesday's game against Central Michigan. The freshman missed Saturday's win over St. Peter's because of a turned ankle. Tubby Smith says Hollins is still dealing with soreness.
With No. 6 Michigan State in town -- and a three-game losing streak threatening to sink the season -- Gophers coach Tubby Smith is asking veterans Ralph Sampson III and Andre Hollins to take more of a leadership role.
It took overtime to settle Minnesota-Northwestern in the opening round of the Big Ten tournament, but the Gophers advanced with a 75-68 win over the Wildcats. Andre Hollins, a true freshman, led Minnesota with 25 points. The Gophers play second-seeded Michigan in the second round today.


Firstly, let me apologise again for the slightly overdone friands. I set the buzzer for 10 minutes cook time, but just as it buzzed there was a huge cat scrap in the yard, which required human intervention. Then I spent a good five mins trying to catch the neighbour's cat to make sure Razzy hadn't pierced his jugular or something.
By the time I gave up on that, then texted the neighbour to tell her to check Timmy over (he's fine), the friands were heading toward overcooked. I'll try again next weekend for a better pic, but in terms of edibility, these are o for awesome.
Grease your muffin pan (or friand pan if you have one). These friands are fragile when done, so you need either a really well greased metal pan, or use paper muffin cups or (my choice) a silicone muffin tray. The silicone tray does not require greasing.
Put the erythritol and stevia into a bowl and mix well. You need the stevia to be well dispersed.
The ratio of stevia to erythritol will affect the sweetness of the friands dramatically. I experimented with the levels and found that 0.5% w/w of stevia worked the best and 1% was too sweet for my tastebuds (although some may like that level of sweetness). I'd recommend starting with 1/3 tsp stevia (0.5%), and it's easy enough to use less or more for your next batch.
The beauty of erythritol is that it buffers the stevia aftertaste. They go together like berries and coconut yogurt. Also, please be aware that I am talking about using a pure stevia extract here (like this one) - not one that already has additives. Check the label ingredient list: it should only list stevia, and not already contain erythritol, maltodextrin or 'flavours'.
Melt the coconut oil on your stovetop.
Mix all dry ingredients in with the erythritol/stevia. If you have citric acid, this adds a little extra 'bite' that I like in a citrus cake/muffin/friand and it helps the baking soda to react.
Add the rind, and the juice+pulp. How to get the pulp: take the orange that you've grated half the rind off, cut it into quarters and then just squeeze the juice into the mix. Once the juice is out, mush the remaining orange innards through your fingers, removing any pips, and drop that in the bowl.
Add the egg, egg white and coconut oil and combine everything with a fork or whisk. You can whip it up a little near the end so that it goes a bit fluffy, but don't beat all the air out of it. This is not the moment to take out any frustrations with some extra vigorous whisking.
Drop in spoonfuls into your muffin tray and bake at about 180C (350F) for 10-15 minutes. Watch like a hawk as (IMO) they go from 'golden' to 'brown' in oh-point-five seconds.
Remove from the oven and commence the important step of waiting for them to cool completely. This builds character.
Please have a try and let me know how it goes. I'm always interested to know if my recipes are acceptable to the outside world.
The sound wonderful... and I will give them a go just as soon as I can gather all those ingredients. And BTW your's don't look overdone to me at all.
They really are easy and don't require the food processor (although I love mine, cleaning a blow is much easier!).

The British scientists behind one of the major therapeutic COVID-19 trials have turned their focus to treatments for monkeypox, a viral disease that has been labeled a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The team from Oxford University behind the so-called RECOVERY trial – which honed in on four effective COVID treatments – on Tuesday unveiled a new trial, dubbed PLATINUM, to confirm whether SIGA Technologies' tecovirimat is an effective treatment for monkeypox.
Although there are vaccines developed for the closely related smallpox that can reduce the risk of catching monkeypox, there are currently no treatments that have been proven to help hasten recovery in those who develop the disease.
More than 40,000 confirmed cases of monkeypox – including a handful of deaths – in over 80 countries where the virus is not endemic have been reported since early May. Over 35% of the current global case count is in the United States, while the UK has over 3,000 confirmed cases.
The virus is transmitted chiefly through close contact with an infected person. It typically causes mild symptoms including fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes and pus-filled skin lesions. Severe cases can occur, though people tend to recover within two to four weeks, according to the WHO.
Siga's drug, branded Tpoxx, has been cleared to treat diseases caused by the family of orthopoxvirus that includes smallpox, monkeypox and cowpox by the European Union and United Kingdom, but due to limited trial data it is generally only used in severe cases in Britain.
In the United States and Canada, the drug is only approved to treat smallpox.
Since smallpox has been eradicated, and cases of monkeypox and cowpox typically occur sporadically, studies to assess the effectiveness of the drug in infected people have so far not been carried out.
Instead, its effectiveness is based on studies in animals infected with lethal doses of orthopoxviruses, as well tests of the medicine's effects in healthy humans.
The PLATINUM trial, funded by a 3.7 million pound ($4.35 million) UK government grant, aims to recruit at least 500 participants. Participants will either be given a 14-day course of tecovirimat twice daily, or a placebo.
To assess the drug's effectiveness, the rate at which lesions heal, the time taken until patients test negative for the virus, and the proportion of patients who require hospitalisation due to complications will be tracked.
"I'm hoping that we can have a result before Christmas, but it depends on the rate of recruitment," said Sir Peter Horby, Professor of Emerging Infections and Global Health at the University of Oxford and the director of the new Pandemic Sciences Institute.
Earlier this month, U.S. officials indicated they were planning a randomized clinical trial in the country to determine whether tecovirimat should secure U.S. approval for monkeypox.
Siga, which sells an oral and intravenous formulation of the drug, has already received $60 million worth of orders for oral tecovirimat this year.
Meanwhile, the only approved monkeypox vaccine – made by Danish company Bavarian Nordic – is in short supply, pushing countries to stretch existing supplies.

Good things about this book: The story and characters were great.
Bad things about this book: I would have loved an epilogue but since there are going to be more books, maybe we'll see more of the characters? Who knows.
This book was much more than I expected it to be. I knew I was going to love it because I love this author with all my heart, but then I found myself at 3am reading the book and not letting go until I finished it at 8am, when I had to get ready for work.
I give up sleep only for certain books. I love sleeping.
The dynamics between Alec and Jerry was genuine. They come from very different backgrounds, and they are thrown into this without really knowing if they can trust each other. The lust comes first: raw, unfiltered, much needed. Their relationship evolves naturally without taking anything from the story, the vengeance Alec wants to achieve from the start.
There were a lot of references from the Sin of the Cities trilogy. This story takes place at least 20 years after the ending of those books; I found myself smiling and missing the characters and reminiscing about their misadventures and romances. Can't wait for the next book, maybe we'll actually see some of the characters!!


I wanted to share another resource " Total Participation Techniques" Making Every Student an Active Learner by Himmele.
Jessica I love this book!! It is so full of wonderful resources!!!
Love it! Immediately useful tools.
Wanted to share a resource- 25 Quick Formative Assessments for a Differentiated Classroom.
Free!! and a great resource. Checks all the boxes. Thank you!!
Fantastic and a lot of fun! I bet the students get competitive with this one.
I hope that I interpreted this webpage correctly. It contained a whole wealth of information.
You have hit upon what seems to be the greatest concern with Opportunity and Access, which is resources and the variation between schools. The rich curriculum piece is asking for what is circled in the attached graphic at elementary and the course codes are to come from the listing.

5 Favorites Redux #33: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Episodes, Part 2
5 Favorites Redux
Cast for Seasons 4 to 6.
Welcome to 5 Favorites. Each week, I will put together a list of my 5 favorites (films, performances, whatever strikes my fancy) along with commentary on a given topic each week, usually in relation to a specific film releasing that week.
Last week, I began a two-part look at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's twenty best episodes. Today, I finish that feature with episodes from seasons five through seven. This is the fourth part in a series of five articles featuring the best of Star Trek's six pre-21st century series. Star Trek: Enterprise will be the final article in the series, but will be delayed until I've finished season four. Until then, we'll go over some other lists as I come up with them.
Getting back into Deep Space Nine, the series is hands-down the best that has ever been done thanks to its multi-part story arcs and fascinating episodes. Before, we get into the final episodes that make up the top twenty episodes of the entire series, let's look at a handful of episodes that earned four-star ratings, but which didn't quite make the top twenty. Splitting the seasons unevenly would have been confusing, so this week's article will be much shorter than last week's as it's covering three seasons instead of four.
As season five played on, the conflict with the Dominion intensified with numerous revelations coming out of the two-part episode consisting of part 1: "By Inferno's Light" and part 2: "In Purgatory's Shadow." While the second part was just slightly weaker, the two episodes tell an intense story. Worf (Michael Dorn) and Garak (Andrew Robinson) are taken captive by the Jem'Hadar who have been amassing in a nebula near the wormhole. Worf barely gets a message off to DS9 before they are captured. While the crew of DS9 readies to destroy the wormhole to prevent the fleet from coming through, Worf and Garak are taken to a prison colony where they meet Martok (J.G. Hertzler), Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig), and Garak's father/mentor Enabran Tain (Paul Dooley). This fascinating duo of episodes explores in great detail the frayed relationship between Tain and Garak. It also explores Worf and Martok as they butt heads regarding Worf's insistence on beating the Jem'Hadar into the ground or dying trying. We also learn more about all of the machinations in place from the Dominion. All-in-all, this was a very dense and tense pair of episodes, which is part-and-parcel for this series.
All Trek series have felt very episodic with few throughlines. Deep Space Nine was radically different, though they had a few of their own. "Children of Time" features a time-bending narrative about a strange planet separated from time. As the USS Defiant crew finds themselves on the other side of the barrier, they discover a planet of their own descendants who had crash-landed years earlier. At 8,000 strong, this isn't a small villaeg. Through various plots, the crew of the Defiant must decide whether to doom 8,000 people in order to save the life of Kira and to return the crew to their families and loved ones. It's a challenging decision made better by strong performances and a fascinating late-episode twist that twists again before the potent conclusion.
The only season 6 episode that stands apart form the top twenty is "Time's Orphan." Maligned by many, the emotional heft of the episode drowns out most of those concerns. Another out-of-continuity episode finds Miles (Colm Meaney) and Keiko (Rosalind Chao) on a planet for an outing with their eight-year-old daughter. As she gets sucked through a time gate into the past, the teenage version of Molly exits the portal and the couple must decide if they can handle not getting to see their daughter grow up. A bittersweet episode that gives audiences a glimpse into the challenges of parenting when on the edge of the quadrant and with dangers all around.
The final episode before we dig into the remaining top twenty is an episode from season seven. In "Covenant," Kira finds herself transported light years away to an abandoned Cardassian mining station called Empok Nor. There, she is asked to witness the community that has developed around the worship of the Pah Wraiths, spiritual enemies of the prophets. Believing instead that the Pah Wraiths are the actual prophets of Bajor, the group is being led by former DS9 commander Gul Dukat who has supposedly turned over a new leaf. As a sinister plot is unveiled, Kira must try to convince the other worshipers that they are being led astray before they meet a bitter end. Another in a long line of spiritual exploration episodes, this one not only furthers the Dukat storyline, it asks the audience to examine faith from different sides of the same belief system.
Cast for Season 7.
Trials and Tribble-ations
Most often, callbacks to prior series have a certain groan-worthy quality that antagonizes Star Trek fans more often than it appeals to them. We are well aware of our own history and incessant references are distracting. Yet, DS9 managed to execute the single greatest callback of all time. In the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations," the USS Defiant crew is escorting one of the Orbs of Prophecy, this one the Orb of Time. An unfamiliar passenger sneaks in to use the orb in order to go back in time and assassinate James T. Kirk. He transports back to the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles" as that's the moment Kirk exposed his treachery and he will do anything to poetically end Kirks' life there.
The DS9 crew must avoid temporal alterations while they maneuver through the events of that episode attempting to track their own nefarious operator. Taking the original series episode and using modern visual effects to superimpose DS9 crew members into the action was a stroke of brilliance that managed to come off so well that any future attempts would rightly draw comparison, probably negatively, to this one episode. Not only is "Trouble with Tribbles" one of the greatest Star Trek episodes in history, the DS9 time-traveling callback fits well into that upper echelon as well. It's certainly one of the best of this particular series.
Call to Arms / A Time to Stand / Rocks and Shoals / Sons and Daughters / Behind the Line / Favor the Bold / Sacrifice of Angels
As season five ends, the episode "Call to Arms" sets up the high risk game that results in Benjamin Sisko giving up control of Deep Space 9, encouraging the Bajorans to put their membership with the Federation on hold to enable a peaceful transition to Dominion control, and provides a brilliant set up for the six episodes that lead off season six, including the re-taking of the station and the setting of numerous plot points into motion for the rest of the series.
With only the fourth of the seven episodes, "Sons and Daughters," failing to earn a four-star rating, this is one of the strongest multi-part arcs in Trek history, even better than the eight-parter that finishes out the Dominion War arc. This tense series of episodes ebb and flow like a great miniseries might, giving audiences insight into the life-and-death decisions each member of the Deep Space 9 crew make. Exploring what it means to lose a battle in order to win a war, this seven-part arc helped ensure that Deep Space Nine would be classed as an all-time great series.
This stand alone episode sees Benjamin Sisko being overtaken by visions that place him in the 1950s as a sci-fi writer named Benny Russell who is struggling to get his work published as part of a genre-specific monthly collection. He must find a way to get his work published while the white management of the periodical would rather not antagonize the white readers that they feel are their bread and butter. Looking at the difficulty black writers faced during the mid-20th Century was a fascinating subject to explore.
As Benny tries his best to convince his editor (Rene Auberjonois) to green light his work, his fellow writers, all cast members from the show out of makeup, stick up for him as best they can realizing that even as liberal as most of them are, the periodical's owner is very conservative and too much defense could mean the end of the line. Cirroc Lofton, Michael Dorn, and Penny Johnson (who plays Sisko's late-series paramour Kasidy Yates) are given key roles in the episode, which asks audiences to try and see how far we still have to go in our treatment of the black community. A poignant and essential episode.
In the Pale Moonlight
As Deep Space Nine explored moral gray areas, one of their darkest episodes is "In the Pale Moonlight," a look at the desperation of Benjamin Sisko and the rest of the Federation in ensuring that the Romulan Star Empire joins the war against the Dominion rather than sit on the sidelines and see who comes out the winner. Against his better judgement, Sisko agrees to enact a plan devised by Elim Garak that would falsify a planning meeting by the Dominion where they reveal that the Romulans are going to be imminently attacked.
Sisko faces numerous internal and external influences as he wrestles with the recriminations of enacting such a plan. The Federation cannot claim the moral high ground if they engage in such duplicitous acts. How far will you go and which morals will you sell out in order to defeat an enemy that wants to eradicate your way of life. This moral ambiguity form the heart of the episode and make it a most compelling exploration on the subject. There would be a number of episodes with dark moral quandaries, but this one is perhaps the darkest and, ultimately, the most brilliant.
The Sound of Her Voice
"The Sound of Her Voice" is another off-story episode that pulled audiences away from a constant glut of wartime action to give them a beautiful story about a distress call that sends the USS Defiant crew on a rescue mission. Debra Wilson provides the voice of Captain Lisa Cusak, who is the only survivor of a crash on a desolate, inhospitable planet who's on the verge of succumbing to the effects of carbon dioxide poisoning. As the Defiant spends the next few days pushing forward as quickly as they can, the crew spends time keeping Capt. Cusak's attention focused on survival. As she and they expose information about one another, we come to know Cusak solely through these conversations.
Wilson's brilliant vocal work almost overshadows the deeply challenging storyline at play in the episode. A desperate crew trying to rescue her and worrying for her safety mirrors the audience's hopes for her survival. It isn't until the Defiant reaches the planet where she's crash landed that we find out what has actually happened. The final scenes are as haunting as they are touching. It's one of those rare bottle episodes that hits the audience in its emotional center with poignant energy.
The Siege of AR-558
Star Trek seldom dealt directly with the horrors of war, oftentimes preferring allegory over brute force. Deep Space Nine changed that calculation, which enabled the show to deftly explore the ugly side of war without sacrificing its integrity. In this episode, the USS Defiant arrives at a liberated Dominion communications array, which is being held by Starfleet soldiers. While guidelines require troops be rotated more frequently, this team has been defending the array for five months and their nerves are frayed and their morale is exceptionally low.
Exacerbating their frustrations, a slew of cloaked mines around the compound have been slowly reducing their number. Sisko and crew decide to help them hold the post as a Dominion regiment is descending on the compound. While it's certain that our crew is going to survive the ordeal and come out victorious, the casualties and other ramifications are hard lessons to learn about the often indiscriminate tragedy that accompanies such a horrendous method of conflict.
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
Dr. Bashir is approached by Section 31 agent Luther Sloan (William Sadler) and coaxed into acting as a spy at a medical conference he's going to be attending. As Bashir maneuvers through the festivities, finally getting to live out in real time his espionage fantasies, he begins to unravel a plot that could result in a hostile Romulan politician encouraging the empire to withdraw from the Dominion War. Bashir must discover who is helping and who is hindering these goals. Adrienne Barbeau guest stars as a Federation-friendly senator who is competing with a rival for a seat on the continuing committee.
Bashir's initial maneuvers are to insert her onto the council, but the machinations of the Tal Shiar, the Romulan version of the Cold War era Russian KGB, as well as the covert intentions of Sloan and Section 31 (the unsanctioned Federation version of the CIA). The episode is engaging in its twisting narrative as the audience tries to keep up with every Machiavellian move and finding themselves as incapable as Bashir of unraveling the details. It's the polar opposite of Bashir's James Bond-styled holodeck character, but significantly more compelling.

In this final story arc for Deep Space Nine, comprised of eight episodes, all of the dominoes that had been set up over the last six seasons begin to tumble one at a time with the ebb and flow of war finding the DS9 crew winning, losing, and ultimately winning again. As the series wound down, the integral elements of Sisko's status as the Emissary of the Prophets began to take hold with his decision to finally embrace his role and find a way to bring about the freedom, promise, and future Bajorans had always deserved.
While this eight-episode arc had a lot of issues (two episodes were three-star rated and two others were three-and-a-half stars), it ultimately finished out the series on a high, giving audiences resolutions to nearly every character arc there was with a few not finding resolution immediately. Trying to find a way to encapsulate what happens in these eight episodes is impossible. As such, I will simply say that in spite of the unevenness, there's little doubt that this arc was the perfect capper for one of the most compelling story arcs in Trek history.
What You Leave Behind, Parts 1 & 2
When I first saw this episode broadcast live, I came away feeling a bit disappointed. Here were some of the greatest Trek characters every written feeling almost incomplete, their storylines left hanging. Yet, as a part of this series re-watch, I came into the episode with a more consistent appreciation of what had come before. Seeing everything in order and in a short span of time gave me a new perspective on the final episode.
Each of the major characters finds some kind of closure with one exception. Sisko doesn't quite have the kind of conclusion many of us would expect, especially given television history. Yet, the decisions made in the writing of this episode work tremendously well. What struck me as most frustrating when I saw it originally was the presence of Vic Fontaine (James Darren). The character had always been one of the more frustrating for me. His chipper outlook on life seemed especially distracting within this series' context. While I still don't care much for the character or most of the episodes he's in. This final episode does a fine job wrapping him into the narrative in a fitting and non-distracting way.
Unlike the series preceding it, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was never destined to make it to the big screen. It's persistent narrative environment doesn't fit well with the episodic nature of big screen adaptations. Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation certainly fit that better, as did Voyager. Unfortunately, by the time Voyager went off the air, even Next Generation's movie adventures had faded and the idea of adapting anything else to the big screen just wasn't in the cards. Having said all that, Deep Space Nine has always been in desperate need of a revival at some point. Either that or a short miniseries to bring to an end the saga of the Emissary of the Prophets.
Whether that ever happens or not, this episode, and the series that preceded it will forever hold a potent position in the Star Trek canon. It was the first series that shifted from an episodic style into a serialized one and that innovation not only helped the show catapult to the top of many lists of best Trek series, it also established that serialized storytelling in a science fiction series could be handled with class and inventiveness and while soap operas had been some of the few shows that carried one narrative over through multiple episodes, Deep Space Nine may have been a key influence in our current climate of serialized dramas. All for the better, I say.

Q: positional/offset based replace I wanted to replace text from position 11 to 18 with some text xxxxxxxxxx
Ex: 0123456789abcdeg123456efsgtext1234500th23sdfksbfk
in the above line my script replaces abcdeg1(position 11 to 18) with xxxxxxxx
for that I'm using below script
 perl -pe 's/^(.{10}).{8}/$1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/' awktest.2019 > awktest.2019masked.txt
now problem is it's replpacing in everyline even if it's empty at those positions(11 to 18)
can someone help me in adding null check to that script i wanted to replace only is captured group is not null in the below command.(how to add null check in below command)
perl -pe 's/^(.{10}).{8}/$1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/' awktest.2019 > awktest.2019masked.txt
any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance

A: From your description, the replacement had already happened in lines which you identified as null in position 11-18, so there are at least 8 matched chars but probably not visible to you. most likely these are just white spaces. If that is the case, you can just add a positive lookahead anchor in your pattern to make sure there is at least one non-whitespaces in the next 8 chars:
perl -lpe 's/^(.{10})(?=.{0,7}\S).{8}/$1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/' file

In the added sub-pattern (?=.{0,7}\S):

*

*(?=...) is the positive lookahead anchor which consumes no chars in matching and can serve as a condition check

*.{0,7}\S means 0-7 any chars(except newline) followed by a non-whitespaces \S. this is to make sure in the next 8 chars, there is at least one matching \S

*to make sure the matches contain at least one visible chars in positions 11-18, you may change \S to [^\x00-\x20] which includes the reverse of all non-printable chars and the SPACE (\x20), see a table at https://web.itu.edu.tr/sgunduz/courses/mikroisl/ascii.html

A: use class \S; no space char.
a=0123456789abcdeg123456efsgtext1234500th23sdfksbfk

$ echo $a| perl -pe 's/(?<=^.{10})\S{8}/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/'

Does the DSM-5, which was published in May 2013, represent a fundamental improvement in how disorders are conceptualized and diagnosed, or are the changes in the new manual flawed, unsafe, scientifically unsound, and costly to our society? Is the revision revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment, or was its process just an exercise in moving a few deck chairs on a sinking ship?
Every previous revision of the DSM caused controversy. But never has the process provoked warfare so brutal with attacks coming from within the profession during and after the DSM-5 revision process. Discussions about the revised manual have stretched well beyond the world of academic psychiatry and have become a matter of intense public interest as well as media coverage.
This intermediate level course provides extensive review of the DSM-5 and how it is different from DSM-IV.It details the new diagnostic categories and discusses their potential impact on clinical work. It also reviews the intense criticism of the DSM-5, including its decision-making process and concerns with its applicability, validity, and whether some of the untested diagnoses have, in fact, turned everyday life problems into mental disorders.
The course also attends to the inevitable important questions, such as what impact has the DSM-5 on clinical practice? Will there be a loss of insurance reimbursements or funding for certain disorders? And can we expect that insurance companies will pay for the treatment of additional diagnoses?
This informative, four-part course explores these and many more questions by providing the most up-to-date information. First, it provides an overview of the manual's new organization, coding, and the most relevant changes in the diagnoses of psychopathology from the DSM‐IV-TR to the DSM‐5. In addition, it focuses on the concrete differences in diagnostic criteria that effect clinical practice. Clinicians will also learn about the practical implications of the revised manual in the context of the relationship between the DSM and the ICD. Finally, the substantial controversies around the DSM in general, as well as its latest revision, are discussed. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.
