Move Over; It's the Law
Ohio's Move Over Law requires motorists to cautiously shift over one lane — or slow down if changing lanes is not possible — when passing any vehicle with flashing lights on the side of a road. Its purpose is to protect everyone who works on the roads and everyone who travels on them.
The City of Montgomery's local ordinance mirrors the state law and is enforced. It is in place to keep officers, medics, firemen, and roadway workers safe.
What is the Move Over Law?
Ohio's Move Over Law is designed to protect the lives of everyone who works on or uses our roadways. The law requires all drivers to move over one lane passing by any vehicle with flashing or rotating lights parked on the roadside.
The original law took effect in 1999 to reduce risk to law-enforcement officers and emergency responders. It was expanded in December 2013 to apply to every stationary vehicle with flashing lights, including road construction, maintenance, and utility crews.
What if I can't move over?
The law recognizes that sometimes it is not safe or possible to move over because of traffic or weather conditions or because a second lane does not exist. In those situations, slow down and proceed with caution. Watch for people or objects that could enter your travel lane, and be prepared to stop.
How does the Move Over law differ from yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles?
Yielding the right of way to an emergency responder requires a driver to pull to the right-hand side of the road and stop when a law-enforcement officer, fire truck, ambulance or other emergency vehicle approaches using a siren, lights, or other warning devices. The driver must wait until the emergency responder(s) has passed by before resuming driving.
How serious is the problem?
Across the nation, hundreds of people are killed or injured every year when they are struck by a vehicle after pulling over to the side of the road or highway. On average, these "struck-by" crashes kill one tow-truck driver every six days; 23 highway workers and one law-enforcement officer every month; and five firefighters every year. Tragically, stranded motorists are also struck and killed.
Can I be cited for failing to comply with the Move Over law?
Yes, and the issue is so serious that fines are doubled. Violators are fined two x $150 for the first violation (a minor misdemeanor), two x $250 for the same violation within a year of the first, and two x $500 for more than two violations in a year.
What types of roadways does the law apply to?
Ohio's Move Over law applies to all interstates and state highways. It can be enforced by any law-enforcement officer, including state highway patrol officers, local police, and county sheriff's deputies.

United States: DOL Proposes New Multifactor Rule For Determining Independent Contractor Status
by Steven F. Pockrass (Atlanta), Taylor E. Gillan (Atlanta) and Charles McDonald, III (Atlanta)
On October 11, 2022, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) unveiled a new proposed rule that could make it more difficult for workers to be classified as independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The proposed rule, which would rescind and replace a prior rule published in January 2021, would shift the analysis of whether a worker is an employee of a business for purposes of the FLSA from a more streamlined "economic reality" test to a more complex "totality-of-the-circumstances" standard.
Worker classification under the FLSA is significant, as independent contractors are not subject to the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA. While independent contractors are a key component of the economy, courts and the DOL have often been inconsistent in determining how to classify workers.
The 2021 rule's "economic reality" test focuses on whether workers are economically dependent on an employer or are in business for themselves. That rule pointed to a list of nonexhaustive factors to be considered, but had sought to streamline the analysis by focusing on two "core factors": (1) "the nature and degree" of control over the work; and (2) "the worker's opportunity for profit or loss."
In its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which is set to be officially published on October 13, 2022, the DOL stated that the new proposed rule would do away with prioritizing certain factors and instead focus on the multifactor economic reality "where no one factor or set of factors is presumed to carry more weight." According to the DOL, such a test will be more helpful in "evaluating modern work arrangements" and align more closely with courts' interpretations of the FLSA.
The new proposed rule highlights six factors to guide the analysis of whether the "economic realities of the working relationship" reveal a worker to be economically dependent on the employer for work or in business for him or herself based on a "totality-of-the-circumstances": (1) the "opportunity for profit or loss depending on managerial skill"; (2) "investments by the worker and the employer"; (3) "degree of permanence of the work relationship"; (4) "nature and degree of control," including "whether the employer uses technological means of supervision (such as by means of a device or electronically), reserves the right to supervise or discipline workers, or places demands on workers' time that do not allow them to work for others or work when they choose"; (5) the "extent to which the work performed is an integral part of the employer's business"; and (6) the "skill and initiative" of workers, referring to whether a worker uses specialized skills brought to the job or is "dependent on training form the employer to perform the work." However, the proposed rule also states that "additional factors may be relevant" in the analysis.
Once the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, there will be a 45-day period for the submission of comments, which is set to close on November 28, 2022.
The issue of whether individuals should be classified as independent contractors has taken on increased significance as a result of the gig economy. It also has been a subject of political polarization, as reflected by the shifts in position taken by the Obama administration, the Trump administration, and the Biden administration, as well as by the varying tests that different states use to evaluate independent contractor status under a variety of laws.
The DOL states that it recognizes the important role independent contractors and small businesses play in the economy, but it also admits that the proposed rule is meant to "reduce the risk that employees are misclassified as independent contractors." Classifying more workers as independent contractors could be disruptive to the many companies across the United States that depend on the use of independent contractors.
Although this new proposal is not a final rule, companies may want to consider how the proposal could impact their operations if the final rule that is adopted by the DOL is the same or highly similar to the proposed rule.
Ogletree Deakins will continue to monitor and report on developments with respect to the proposed independent contractor rule and will post updates on the firm's Wage and Hour blog. Important information for employers is also available via the firm's webinar and podcast programs.

Government of Alberta - A special avalanche warning for recreational backcountry users is in effect from today to Monday, February 12. The areas affected include Alberta Parks Kananaskis Country, Banff, Yoho, Kootenay, Jasper, and Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks. For the past two weeks, these regions have been in a prolonged period of elevated avalanche danger and a major avalanche cycle where numerous large avalanches have run into the valley bottom.
Recreational backcountry users should manage their risk by completely avoiding avalanche terrain including exposure to overhead avalanche terrain. Several recent avalanches were triggered from up to 100 metres away from the slope. Skiers at ski hills should stay inbounds and not venture beyond the ski-area boundary.
Although this warning applies to the regions listed above, recreational users are advised to exercise caution as potentially hazardous conditions exist in a number of areas throughout British Columbia and Alberta. Check Avalanche.ca for current avalanche information before travelling in the backcountry.


Cashstory has mastered the art of Data Storytelling for positions related to finance.
Pros: - The platform embodies the next generation of financial reporting with easy to use dashboards that are easy to understand.
- We had trouble aggregating business and technical expertise on a single platform, but Cashstory is a great tool to bring different data on a single app (that I see on my smartphone when going to work. Removes the need to always ask the data people for numbers).
- It made finance accessible. The app can really be understood by non-finance stakeholders thanks to their glossary feature, the consolidated KPIs (was a significant issue) that were represented in an appropriate, easy to get manner. Hats off for the visualisations and beautiful graphics.
Cons: The only issue here is that to explore data and create analytics, i still need excel, but they have a nice add-in for it.

The Anti-Racist Front
Nelson Mandela: A Great Man and Great Anti-Racist
The death of Nelson Mandela is a landmark moment in global politics. It has allowed the BBC in particular to draw a new narrative, casting those who opposed the USSR and socialism as racists and those who supported socialism in Southern Africa as heroes. The rise of Mandela was a new dawn for Internationalist Socialism and his death has been an opportunity to lionize those who fought the West and Western Capitalism.
. "In 1990, the same year that he was released from prison, the Soviet Union awarded Mandela the Lenin International Peace Prize. He was the last person to receive the prize, which was no longer awarded after the fall of the Soviet Union. " Russia: beyond the headlines
This was our greatest sadness, that the crowning achievement of the struggle in Southern Africa should also be linked with the end of the USSR. We gave so much to support SWAPO, the ANC and FRELIMO and it was only as the Soviet Union fell in 1989-90 that Mandela was released. At the time it seemed like a Pyrrhic victory.
However, in 1989-90 few of us had moved from Marxist Leninism to Anti-racist Post Marxism. Those who shed tears because Mandela's release was too late can now raise their heads with pride and announce to the world how they fought the political fight for the ANC and can show how the capitalists were racists and how the struggle was not about East versus West but about Anti-racism versus racism.

Q: SQL Adding an aggregated column to base I need to add a combined total to each group. I have written 2 queries which work right, but I need to add the result of the second query into the first.
First one is:
SELECT     name_id
         , take
         , id_user
FROM       ((Proizv
             INNER JOIN Izdan
                     ON Proizv.id = Izdan.id_proizv)
            INNER JOIN Exzemp
                    ON Izdan.id = Exzemp.id_izdan)
INNER JOIN log
        ON Exzemp.id = log.id_exzemp
WHERE      take IN ( SELECT TOP 2 take
                     FROM   log AS s
                     WHERE  s.id_user = log.id_user
                     ORDER  BY take DESC );

There I take latest two cases from each group.
The second one is:
SELECT     COUNT(name_id) AS cname
         , name_id
FROM       ((Proizv
             INNER JOIN Izdan
                     ON Proizv.id = Izdan.id_proizv)
            INNER JOIN Exzemp
                    ON Izdan.id = Exzemp.id_izdan)
INNER JOIN log
        ON Exzemp.id = log.id_exzemp
GROUP      BY name_id;

There I take aggregated column which I want to add to results of the first one table by name_id(initial tables are the same).
When I try simply to join them, I get an error.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

A: You could do something like this:
With a as (
SELECT     name_id
         , take
         , id_user
FROM       ((Proizv
             INNER JOIN Izdan
                     ON Proizv.id = Izdan.id_proizv)
            INNER JOIN Exzemp
                    ON Izdan.id = Exzemp.id_izdan)
INNER JOIN log
        ON Exzemp.id = log.id_exzemp
WHERE      take IN ( SELECT TOP 2 take
                     FROM   log AS s
                     WHERE  s.id_user = log.id_user
                     ORDER  BY take DESC )
),
b as (
SELECT     COUNT(name_id) AS cname
         , name_id
FROM       ((Proizv
             INNER JOIN Izdan
                     ON Proizv.id = Izdan.id_proizv)
            INNER JOIN Exzemp
                    ON Izdan.id = Exzemp.id_izdan)
INNER JOIN log
        ON Exzemp.id = log.id_exzemp

U.S. Republicans seek liability protections as coronavirus aid battle looms
By Richard Cowan, David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A battle in the U.S. Congress over a new coronavirus-aid bill began on Friday as Republicans were putting the finishing touches on provisions granting liability protections for a wide range of entities resuming operations amid the pandemic.
A draft of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's plan, which was reviewed by Reuters, would provide protections from lawsuits for at least four years for government agencies, "schools, colleges, charities, and businesses that follow public-health guidelines, and for frontline medical workers."
The plan would also limit liability for new products, such as types of personal protective equipment, if they meet certain Food and Drug Administration requirements, according to the draft.
Democrats say they have not been consulted on the initiative or on any other provisions in the bill that McConnell is expected to publicly unveil next week.
But knowing that it will focus on liability protections, they have attacked Republicans for focusing the next aid bill on stemming lawsuits rather than coming to the rescue of state and local governments struggling to deal with the coronavirus and other healthcare steps.
McConnell has said he hoped that the fifth major coronavirus aid bill to be passed by Congress this year would be the last one and that it would not cost more than $1 trillion.
Leading Democrats, however, have pledged to fight for much more - in the range of the $3 trillion bill approved in mid-May by the House of Representatives - during negotiations over the next couple weeks.
The liability protections, according to the draft document, would sunset at the end of a federal COVID-19 emergency declaration or 2024, whichever comes later, if it became law.
In the 12 weeks since Republican President Donald Trump signed into law the last of the $3 trillion so far committed to the crisis, the coronavirus has spread aggressively across the United States, with the number of confirmed and presumptive cases more than tripling to over 3.5 million. There have been nearly 140,000 U.S. deaths.
A politically charged response to the virus, with some officials rejecting health experts' pleas to wear masks and maintain social distancing, has contributed to the United States having the largest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world.
While the differences between Republicans and Democrats over next steps were huge, McConnell said earlier this week: "I do think we'll get there and do something that needs to be done."
'CRITICAL MOMENT'
Extended unemployment benefits for the more than 30 million Americans out of work during the crisis are scheduled to end on July 31.
"How many times have we had to say in the course of this pandemic: 'We're at a critical moment?' We really are in an even more critical moment now," Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a news conference this week.
Aid to schools and other measures to stimulate a staggering economy are all in play.
On Thursday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer unveiled a $350 billion investment plan. It includes money for minority communities to bolster childcare, healthcare, housing and training for coronavirus-related jobs such as contact tracing and administering tests.
Schumer's initiative comes partly in response to nationwide protests across the United States this summer over police violence against Black Americans and economic disparity.
Both parties appeared to be cool toward Trump's desire for a payroll tax cut. There are also arguments over continuing a small-business loan program, and Democrats want to help the poor avoid evictions from their rental homes.
Lawmakers from both sides have also called for another round of direct payment checks to individuals and families.

Case study: Marie held Rick hostage
Rick had moved out of the family home months earlier, but was still struggling to maintain payments, so his two children and his soon to be ex wife Marie, could stay until the house was sold. To try to make ends meet, he moved into a small 2 bedroom apartment.
When the kids came to visit, his daughter slept on a blow-up mattress and his son shared his bed, and the kids didn't like that. In fact, they sometimes refused to go to see him because they couldn't have their own bedrooms. And that suited Marie. She hoped that the situation would make it easier for her to gain full custody of the kids.
She also wanted to save money, knowing that once she moved out of the house she'd have to pay her own rent. That would necessarily mean living in a lesser home and a less desirable neighborhood, so she did all she could to stall the sales process.
Meanwhile, the house payments were putting a strain on Rick and he was in jeopardy of missing them. Being late on the mortgage would impact their credit and make it much more difficult for either of them to buy or rent another house.
Fortunately, the attorneys recommended hiring a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert. Through skilled communication and an ability to navigate the legal process, their agent was able to seek the courts assistance in getting the paperwork signed and gaining Marie's cooperation before it was too late.

"Depends on how many km a day you want to walk in sweltering conditions."
"The wifi was very slow when the rooms were further away from the lifts"
"Rooms should face towards the pool; not away from the property."

Looks: She has mid-arm length dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. She has pale skin and freckles and is usually seen with a smile on her face. Her uniform is a black dress that goes to her knees with two belts attached at the center, making an 'x' around her waist. Her exorcist jacket goes to the bottom of her ribcage. Her hair is almost always pulled back into a ponytail.
Personality: Usually a pleasant person to strangers, but once you get to know her, she's a demon. She snarly and loves to pull pranks on people. She acts likes she's untouchable, but if you put a snake near her(real or not) she freaks and faints. Not ticklish, but has two weak spots. The back of her neck and behind her ears. If you pinch her neck, she freezes and can't move. If you scratch and rub behind her ears, she'll melt in your hands. Very overprotective of friends. She calls them her 'property'.
Heaven's Light: Bursts of light that can blind level twos, but burn level ones. If she concentrates hard enough, it can turn into a ball of light and she can throw it. She is very good with this attack.
Angel Sword: A sword made out of pure condensed light. She pulls it out of one of the gems in her necklace and when she does that, her shadow looks like she has bird wings. She is not very good with this one, so she does not use it often.
Shadow Gate: When she attacks with this one, she summons a door that holds creatures of the akuma's nightmares (when it was human). She summons the monster(s) or thing, and sends it to attack. This is her most used attack, so it causes her to be a bit darker in her personality every time she uses it.
Hell's Scythe: A scythe that is made out of, what seems to be, fire and shadows. It is very large and can take down a level three in about five consecutive strikes. Unfortunately, it causes her to be terrifying to anyone around her, meaning she is violent and seems like she would skin you for fun. Because of this, she only has used it once and plans to never use it again.
Past: Lacy retrieved the necklace by her grandfather on Christmas when she was 12. Unfortunately, her little sister pulled on the chain when she saw it, and it broke. It fell onto the floor and cracked. It never broke completely, but she had to replace the chain and that is how it became a necklace instead of a monocle.
Before Innocence Arc: Lacy was raised in a small town in Wales with her family members close. She had a sister and both of her parents. Her grandfather lived next to them and her aunt and uncle lived across town. She didn't have a lot of friends, but to her, that made them even more special. Her grandfather tools her stories of them being related to kings and how they were forced into hiding. She enjoyed his stories, but her parents always laughed and rolled their eyes. One Christmas, when she was 12, she received a beautiful monocle from her grandfather. As she admired it, he said it was something of their ancestors. Her sister wanted to see it, Lacy wouldn't let her see it, so they fought. Long story short it broke and the chain had to be replaced.
After recieving Innocence Arc: A few months after receiving the gift, her grandfather died. And that's when everything went wrong. Her father became a drunkard and never was home. Her mother became a mistress and the fights began. Her sister never spoke or ate. On the day of the funeral, the Earl showed himself to her sister. He told her of how he would come back, and she fell for it. She died by her grandfathers hands, and he killed everyone. As aimed his guns to kill Lacy, her necklace glowed and distracted it and the Earl. Before they could say anything, a man in a black exorcist coat saved her. And that's where the story begins.
RolePlaying Sample: *looks at you* I don't think that your stupid! Its just that I find you boring. I could help you not be boring though. Sooooo, you can find me in the cafeteria or my room. And no buts! You're taking nonvoting lessons from me! Good luck! You're going to need it to deal with me.

There is no historical event so grand, so tragic, so complex that it cannot be reduced to a love story. From the American Civil War to the sinking of the Titanic, the images that dominate our memory of the past have often come from the utterly fictitious movies that use these events as epic backdrops for sweeping romances.
So when Daryl F. Zanuck, the founder of 20th Century Fox, produced Brigham Young in 1940, he knew it was not enough to lay out the historical facts, even in a highly mythic form. His film was designed to cast the early Mormon leader in the best, most heroic light possible, but the title role went to a lesser actor named Dean Jagger (who, incidentally, went on to convert to Mormonism some years later). The star of the film was matinee idol Tyrone Power, who played a young Mormon lad who falls in love with a Christian girl as the Mormon pioneers make their historic trek to Utah.
Writer-director Christopher Cain has the exact opposite agenda in September Dawn, but he follows a similar narrative logic. The film concerns the Mountain Meadows Massacre, in which over 100 men, women and children, passing through Utah in a wagon train in 1857, were slaughtered by Mormons and their Indian allies—the largest mass murder of Americans by other Americans until the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. And the main lens through which we witness this atrocity is a tale of forbidden love between a young Mormon man and a young Christian woman.
This might not be so bad if the love story itself were the point of the movie. The two young lovers, Jonathan Samuelson (Trent Ford) and Emily Hudson (Tamara Hope), first notice each other when he accompanies his father (Jon Voight), the local Mormon bishop, on a visit to the wagon train. ...

Vanier Students Representing Québec at the 2012 Prix Goncourt des Lycéens
Posted on November 9, 2012 by vanierfoundation
The Vanier College Foundation is proud to support six Vanier College students and French teacher Catherine Duranleau who have been preparing to represent Québec at this year's Prix Goncourt des Lycéens.
By MARGUERITE CORRIVEAU
Originally Published: November 9, 2012
2000 students from France and other countries
Since its creation in 1988, the Goncourt des Lycéens has aimed at giving students a taste for reading and writing and for discussing books. Over the years it acquired the prestige of a true literary prize to the point of now being a touchstone of each literary season when new books are launched. The jury is composed of some 2000 French students aged 15 to 18, as well students from other countries who read the books officially selected by the Académie Goncourt. It is therefore students who select the winner after discussions, meetings and debates.
November 13-15 debates to select a winner
« Six students and I will be living a wonderfully stimulating and demanding literary adventure, » states French teacher Catherine Duranleau who had the daring idea of submitting the name of Vanier College to represent Québec at the Goncourt des Lycéens. « We've now almost finished reading all 11 novels in preparation for the regional deliberations in Paris on November 13, 2012 and in Rennes on November 15, when the grand winner will be announced. We are very anxious to get going. »
The first time an English Cegep represents Québec at this competition
Vanier College, the only foreign school on the French jury this year, will represent Québec and the world very well. The Vanier students reflect not only the rich cultural diversity of the College and of modern-day Québec which is more and more cosmopolitan, but also reflects the French world of the future. It's also the first time an English Cegep represents Québec at this competition.
Past participation in the Prix littéraire des collégiens
It's the College's participation in the Prix littéraire des collégiens for two consecutive years here in Québec that gave Catherine Duranleau the idea of submitting Vanier's candidacy for representing Québec at the Goncourt des Lycéens. «It's with great enthusiasm that the members of the organizing committee of the Prix littéraire des collégiens accepted and endorsed Vanier's submission, » indicates Claude Bourgie Bovet who is responsible for the Prix littéraire des collégiens and who spearheads the selection of a Québec cegep for the Goncourt des Lycéens. It's also worth noting that almost the entire cost of this project has been covered by grants that Catherine Duranleau managed to obtain.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 last night to win the World Series. The last two months of baseball -- not just Cardinals baseball, but baseball, as an institution, as a pastime, as a calling -- have been as thrilling an end to a season as any I can remember, and it's important to remember that no one thought any of it would happen. Remember, at the end of August, many observers were complaining that the baseball season had grown dull, that everyone already knew the playoff teams (Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Arizona and Atlanta in the NL; Yankees, Boston, Detroit and Texas in the AL) and that baseball should so something (like, say, add another wild-card team) to fix the "problem" of a pointless September. What happened to our pennant chases, the cries went. And then the Cardinals and Rays got hot, and the Braves and Red Sox fell apart, and there was that amazing final day of the regular season and then the thrilling postseason and that Game Six and good heavens for two months now it has just been madness.
I'm not going to get into too many details of the Cardinals' win last night, partly because I still have beer in my eyes from Foley's last night and partly because the game itself was not inherently exciting. (Unless of course you are a Cardinals fan and think it was pretty much the most beautiful game ever played.) It was almost as if, after the last two months of lunacy, baseball gave us a break with Game Seven, just so there would be fewer cardiac incidents. It was just a normal game. No "malfunctioning" bullpen phones, no wild comebacks with only one strike left (let alone two of them), no three-homer outbursts. The Rangers scored two runs in the first, the Cardinals scored two of their own to answer, Allen Craig hit a homer and the Cards scored two runs on no hits in the fifth ... and then the game just sort of seemed over. Everyone, most of all the Rangers, were too exhausted to fight it. It's probably for the best. Another night like Game Six, and there'd be a lot fewer people alive this morning to enjoy it.
But this year has been the best one. This is a team that simply could not be killed. I do not know why that is. Maybe it's the manager. Maybe it's some sort of clubhouse mojo. Maybe Lance Berkman is a cyborg. Maybe it's just random chance organizing in a way that maximized drama. I do not know, and I do not care. I just know that we have all just been the best two months Major League Baseball has seen in a long time, and at the end of it, the St. Louis Cardinals, a team everyone (including Cardinals fans, and even sorta including the Cardinals management themselves) wrote off, were the last team standing. To watch a team that has infuriated and teased and made their fans crazy all season, to watch that team suddenly become an unkillable force on the biggest stage ... it's better than the other years. This is the one I'll remember the most. This was the best one.
And Major League Baseball, over these last two months, has never been better. We're all lucky, Cardinals fans, Rangers fans, baseball fans, sports fans, residents of earth. This is as fun as this can get.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go wash the rest of this beer out of my hair.


With all the excitement and fuss surrounding the movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, it's easy to forget that the author has other long gestating cinematic adaptations in the works. Both The Stand and It have taken similarly circuitous routes from the page to the screen - both were first adapted into a successful TV miniseries, but their movie versions have struggled for years with false starts and setbacks, yet appear to still be in the works today, in varying degrees. The It film adaptation, in particular, is making real progress forward.
King's tale of children facing off against the embodiment of their fears has resonated throughout the decades since its publication in 1986. Considered to be one of the author's finest works of horror, the last few years have seen the novel hit multiple roadblocks on its way to the silver screen for the first time. True Detective season 1 director Cary Fukunaga had been attached to direct the film before that iteration of the project fell apart due to his creative differences with New Line, the studio behind the adaptation. While the project's slow dismantling left many wondering if It would ever see the light of day, some recent announcements indicate the movie is finally coming to fruition.
According to a report from THR, actor Bill Skarsgård (Hemlock Grove) is in the final stages of negotiations to take on the role of the legendary villain Pennywise when the first of potentially two It movie adaptations hits the big screen in 2017. The film is set to be directed by Andy Muschietti (Mama) and its cast also includes the young actors Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), Chosen Jacobs (Hawaii Five-O), and Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ant-Man) as the kids in the story who are terrorized by the malevolent creatures known as Pennywise the Clown.
While this will mark the first time that It has been adapted for the big screen, Skarsgård has some huge shoes to fill. The original ABC It TV miniseries starred Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as Pennywise the Clown, an entity who took the form of whatever its victim most feared. For many, Curry's performance in the miniseries was a defining point in the actor's career, leaving some fans wondering if it's even possible for another actor to inhabit the role.
Still, even though the original miniseries remains popular 25 years after its original airing, there's plenty of room for a cinematic adaptation to present the story in ways viewers haven't yet seen. While the miniseries It is considered a TV horror landmark, the nature of television, especially at the time, required much of the story to be toned down and made more suitable for audiences. Many of the novel's more intense and graphic scenes were either changed or cut altogether - a fact that many book readers have decried for years, even with the miniseries' success.
Despite the casting and director changes, Muschietti's It will apparently be borrowing at least some things from Fukunaga's plans, namely that the full story will be told over two films —the first of them dealing with the main characters as children and their initial faceoff against Pennywise, and the second with the characters as adults as they reunite to take try and take down the entity once and for all. Structurally, this isn't dissimilar from either the original novel or miniseries, and it does allow for the films to be truer adaptations of the source material... if, in fact, that remains the plan after all.
Even the casting of Skarsgård seems to mimic, somewhat, Fukunaga's original plans. The latter had cast Will Poulter (We're the Millers) as the disturbing villain called Pennywise, indicating that this generation's version of the creature would appear to be somewhat closer in age to the protagonists in the story. Skarsgård is a few years older than Coulter, but the similarities between the actors seem to be a good indication of where New Line is attempting to go with this Stephen King film adaptation.
It remains to be seen if Skarsgård has what it takes to fully inhabit the role, but he's definitely got the horror chops, even if his Hemlock Grove role was remarkably different from Pennywise. Overall, however, it appears as though everyone involved is eager to produce a faithful adaptation of King's original novel, which is great news for It and Pennywise fans. We'll keep you posted on any and all updates on this and all King projects as they develop.
It is scheduled to reach U.S. theaters on September 8th, 2017.

## Motivation

**Goal**

The goal is to create a library of components you can use to make both your own reusable chart library or your slick custom one-off chart. vx is largely unopinionated and is meant to be build on top of. Keep your bundle sizes down and use only the packages you need.

**How?**

Under the hood, vx is using d3 for the calculations and math. If you're creating your own awesome chart library on top of vx, it's easy to create a component api that hides d3 entirely. Meaning your team could create charts as easily as using reusable react components.

**But why?**

Mixing two mental models for updating the DOM is never a good time. Copy and pasting d3 code into `componentDidMount()` is just that. This collection of components lets you easily build your own reusable visualization charts or library without having to learn d3. No more selections or `enter()`/`exit()`/`update()`.

## Status

`Super beta` Hold off on using this in production until I shake out some of the bigger API problems (post v1.0.0+). Check out [the road to v1](https://github.com/hshoff/vx/projects/1).

If you're a curious coder, feel free to install and play around with the packages. I recommend using `--save-exact` when you `npm install`.

## Roadmap

Lots coming soon, check out the [roadmap](./ROADMAP.md).

1. What does `vx` stand for?

    > vx stands for visualization components.

1. Do you plan on supporting animation/transitions?

    > yup!

1. Do I have to use every package to make a chart?

    > nope! pick and choose the packages you need.

1. Can I use this to create my own library of charts for my team?

    > Please do.

1. I like using d3.

    > Me too.

Neocicada hieroglyphica - several males were calling intermittently from a stand of blackjack oaks. I'd been wanting to catch a male in order to photograph one up close and had been daunted by their height in the tall oak trees of Joplin. So, I decided to level the playing field by going to this area of trees short enough to afford me a decent chance with a 15' net. It worked. Attached is a photo of said specimen feeding from a potted oak tree (grown for this purpose) in a terrarium.
Thanks for sharing this awesome photo. Nicely done. If it is male, maybe you can get it to sing in captivity?
A colleague and I were once discussing the similarities of these cicadas to larger species such as Quesada gigas and Pomponia imperatoria. Especially betwween the latter. If you look closely the wing veination between Pomponia and Neocicada including patterns of pigmentation are surprisingly similar.
We have even so far as postulated that they may be related.


What are the ramifications of DUI? First time DUI charges with a. 08 BAC brings 6 months optimal probation, $300 fine, mandatory participation at Alcohol Freeway Safety Institution, as well as a CRN evaluation to determine whether you have a medicine or liquor issue. A 3rd-time offense with.16 BAC will certainly invoke one-year minimum imprisonment, a $2,500 minimum great, 18-month license suspension, mandatory 1-year ignition interlock, CRN examination under PA drunk driving laws.
What are the Consequences of Driving Drunk?
Drunk driving could lead to various situations. If you or your activities have brought about the death of an individual, the very best possible result for you will not be anything short of a prison term. A good DUI defense would have the ability to lower that sentence. If you are guilty of creating some minor injuries or harm to a building, a great and professional legal representative could perhaps aid you to get away with a fine and also a caution. It is necessary to keep in mind that any legal situation asks for your straight interest and collaboration, despite just how excellent your attorney may be. You may need to pay a higher amount, but ultimately it will deserve it.
For the second infraction, your DUI charges will certainly be considered a Class A violation. If you have a third DUI fee, it amounts a 3rd-degree felony. The time served will be 72 hrs to not greater than 1 year. If you encounter a Third DUI charge, you will indeed serve prison time from 2 to 10 years.
For an individual's first DWI in NJ, they could spend 72 hrs to 180 days in prison. In enhancement, they are topic to penalties approximately $2,000 as well as their vehicle driver's certificate will be put on hold for a marginal of 90 days and also a maximum of a yr. A second violation lugs a likely good of $4,000. A culprit will dedicate in between a month as well as a year in prison. Their vehicle driver's license will certainly be suspended for an optimum of 20 years. If an individual is found guilty of drunk driving the Third time, they deal with up to 10 years in prison, a $4,000 terrific, and also a driver's license suspension for up to 2 years.
While going to the Victims Effect Panel, it would certainly be sensible if you would certainly offer complete ears on the speakers. You will certainly never speak for the whole period so give your full interest in some way. Simply mirror on your own experience and also everything will go smooth.
He understood the DWI regulations. He understood the Police are out on the roadways. He likewise knew that his driving would be irregular. However, he drove intoxicated anyway. After swerving right into a few vehicles, hitting many fences, he understood, once he was sober, that he was encountering criminal charges. He needed a great DUI Lawyer, one who was really acquainted with the legislation, one that was an expert at providing representation.

Патрі́к Демаршельє́  (, 21 серпня 1943, Гавр — 31 березня 2022) — французький фотограф, один з найпродуктивніших фешн-фотографів. Найвідоміші роботи: фотоальбом «Патрік Демаршельє: Фотографії» («Patrick Demarchelier: Photographs», 1995), «Патрік Демаршельє: Відкриття елегантності» («Patrick Demarchelier: Exposing Elegance», 1997), «Патрік Демаршельє: Форми» ("Patrick Demarchelier: Forms ", 1998). Отримав нагороду Елеонор Ламберт (Eleanor Lambert Award) у 2007 році, став Офіцером Ордена Літератури і Мистецтва, працював з Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Chanel, Louis Vuitton і Armani; фотографував Ніколь Кідман, Мадонну, Джанет Джексон, Гілларі Клінтон та ін.

Біографія
Патрік Демаршельє народився 21 серпня 1943 року. Його дитинство пройшло у французькому портовому місті Гавр. То був важкий час німецької окупації. У другій половині 1950-х років підліток захопився фотографією, а коли йому виповнилося 17 років оголосив матері і батькові (а заодно і вітчиму) про своє рішення стати фотографом. Батьки йому не суперечили і навіть підтримували його прагнення, оскільки хлопець погано вчився в школі. Незабаром після цих подій вітчим на 17-річчя подарував Патріку свій старий «Eastman Kodak» і молодий чоловік зміг перейти від «фотографування очима» — а цим він займався скільки себе пам'ятав — до традиційнішого способу отримання фотографічних зображень. У ньому відразу прокинулася комерційна жилка, він став фотографувати за гроші, спочатку друзів і родичів, поступово розширюючи це коло. Цим він займається і до цього дня, тільки замість 3-6 сантимів (сота частина франка) його знімки коштують тисячі та десятків тисяч доларів. Проте в 1960-х роках все складалося зовсім не так вдало. Деякий час починаючий фотограф підробляв у фотомайстернях, займався друком та робив ретуш, виготовляв комбіновані фотографії для випускних класів шкіл тощо. Незабаром робота в лабораторії йому наскучила, він вирішив фотографувати сам: близько року працював для дрібних агентств, деякий час був асистентом у відомого фотографа Ханса Фойрера, потім вирішив піти у рекламний бізнес. На початку 1970-х років його роботи стали з'являтися в таких відомих журналах як «Elle», «Marie Claire» і «20 ans». У Демаршельє не було жодної формальної освіти в області мистецтв — втім, у нього взагалі не було освіти за професійним спрямуванням.

Іншими вчителями Демаршельє були фотографи, серед яких він особливо виділяв Річарда Аведона, Хельмута Ньютона і Ірвіна Пенна.
У 1975 році 32-річний Демаршельє виїхав з Франції в Сполучені Штати. Нікому не відомий французький фотограф прямує за своєю коханою дівчиною. Приїхавши в Нью-Йорк, він дізнається, що кохана вже знайшла йому заміну. Незважаючи на незнання англійської мови і порожній гаманець, саме в Америці кар'єра Патріка Демаршельє несподівано швидко пішла в гору. Його фотографії з'явилися в престижних журналах «Glamour» та «Mademoiselle». Незабаром його роботу помітив і оцінив художній директор видавництва «Conde Nast Publications» (за сумісництвом художник, скульптор, дизайнер і фотограф) Олександр Ліберман. У 1980-х роках Демаршельє цілком вдало співпрацював з уже названими журналами «Glamour» та «Mademoiselle», до яких додалися «GQ», «Rolling Stone», а дещо пізніше і «Vogue». У 1992 році Патрік Демаршельє стає головним фотографом журналу «Harper's Bazaar».

Фотографії Демаршельє

Патрік Демаршельє змінив розуміння рекламної фотографії, зображуючи людей природними на знімках. Талант майстра полягає в тому, що він вміє легко розташувати до себе людей, вміє створити невимушену, легку і ненапружену атмосферу, змушує модель забути про присутність камери. Не залежно від того, чи працює Патрік в сфері моди або знімає природу, його фотографії визнають шедеврами. Патрік Демаршельє не терпить награності і пропагує невимушений знімок, або, як каже сам фотограф — «випадковий кадр».
 — пояснював майстер головний секрет свого успіху. Цей метод дозволив йому зробити безліч чудових портретів, зокрема знаменитий портрет  Принцеси Діани в 1992 році. Ті ж принципи фотограф намагається застосовувати не тільки в портретній зйомці, але і при роботі з оголеною натурою. Не можна, звичайно, стверджувати, що всі фотографії Демаршельє виглядають як випадкові — багато його робіт в жанрі оголеної натури, фотографії для модних журналів, портрети, композиційні етюди і навіть фотографії тварин в природному (або псевдо-природному) середовищі несуть у собі явний відбиток позування і штучності. Тим не менш, значну — ймовірно найкращу — частину його творчості складають саме фотографії, що тяжіють до естетики «випадкового кадру». І хоча у Патріка Демаршельє було кілька кумирів серед відомих майстрів, на прикладах яких він навчався, як, наприклад, Ірвін Пенн, Хельмут Ньютон, Річард Аведон, головним порадником і вчителем для себе був він сам. Його основний принцип був такий, що у фотографії потрібно бути як і у спорті: наполегливим і тренуватися щодня. Саме тоді можна зрозуміти помилки, які робиш, і придбати потрібний досвід. Демаршельє відноситься до поціновувачів прекрасного тіла і гарного обличчя, і для нього немає нічого прекраснішого ніж прояви емоцій. Тому він так часто розмовляє зі своїми моделями перед тим, як зробити «випадковий» знімок. Такий же принцип він використовує і при фотографуванні оголеної натури. Зосереджуючи увагу моделі на виразі обличчя, він змушує піти від помилкового позування тілом.

У 1995 році він випустив свій перший фотоальбом з лаконічним найменуванням «Патрік Демаршельє: Фотографії» (Patrick Demarchelier: Photographs). Звичайний тираж подібних видань становить дві-три тисячі примірників. Демаршельє видав 12000 примірників, але вже через рік він випустив ще 5000. У 1997 році вийшла книга «Патрік Демаршельє: Відкриття елегантності» (Patrick Demarchelier: Exposing Elegance), а в 1998 році — «Патрік Демаршельє: Форми» (Patrick Demarchelier: Forms). За цим настала десятирічна перерва — хоча в цей період його книги кілька разів перевидавалися. Нарешті в 2008 році вийшов новий фотоальбом зі старим найменуванням «Патрік Демаршельє: Фотографії», у якого був ще більший попит, ніж у першого.

Фотограф-Бренд
Патрік Демаршельє відомий навіть тим, хто ніколи не чув його ім'я — через його роботи, що з'являються на сторінках модних глянцевих журналів вже протягом 30 років. Патрік Демаршельє є доволі впливовою фігурою у світі фешн-фотографії. Його авторитет настільки високий, що його ім'я стає майже брендом. У фільмі «Диявол носить Prada» героїня Меріл Стріп наказує асистентці:
 що в свою чергу дуже засмучує дівчину: дістати Демаршельє зовсім не просто. Він один з найбільш затребуваних фотографів, з яким працюють найкращі моделі. Серед його клієнтів можна побачити Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Chanel, Louis Vuitton і Armani, а також такі зірки як Ніколь Кідман, Мадонна, Джанет Джексон, Гілларі Клінтон, Анджеліна Джолі, Брітні Спірс, принцеса Діана, Жан-Поль Готьє, Гвінет Пелтроу і багатьох інших знаменитостей. Він також знімав для рекламних кампаній Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, TAG Heuer, Yves Saint Laurent, Lacoste.

Демаршельє та Pirelli
Початок XXI століття для Демаршельє — час успіху і визнання. У 2005 році він отримав замовлення на створення календаря компанії Pirelli — для фотографа, що працює в жанрі оголеної натури, це найвище визнання. Він настільки успішно впорався з роботою, що отримав замовлення на 2008 рік. У 2007 році фотограф був удостоєний нагороди Елеонор Ламберт (Eleanor Lambert Award) як найкращий «іміджмейкер» в області дизайну. У цьому ж році він став Офіцером Ордена Літератури і Мистецтва (de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres)- однієї з чотирьох головних державних нагород Франції заснованої в 1957 році з метою відзначати найвидатніших діячів світової культури. Нагороду Демаршельє вручила пані Крістін Албанель (Christine Albanel) — міністр культури Франції.

Цікаві факти
 Патрік Демаршельє ніколи не закінчував фотошколи та будь-яких навчальних закладів, де вивчають мистецтво. Він вчився на власних помилках, величезній кількості власних знімків, аналізуючи кожен з них окремо. Він вважає, що найнеобхідніше для фотографа — це практика. Таланту ж навчитися не можна, як і не можна прищепити собі нестандартне мислення, чи багату уяву.
 У 1989 році, він став офіційним фотографом Принцеси Діани. Пізніше, він перетворився в першого небританського фотографа, який фотографував Британську королівську сім'ю.

In this week's Art Seen, Robyn Maree Pickens looks at exhibitions from Don Hill, Emily Siddell and Stephen Bradbourne, and Harry Watson.
Don Hill's impressive exhibition of landscapes at the Lakes District Museum and Gallery encapsulates rural New Zealand in paint, capturing myriad views and slices of life. Snow-capped peaks tower above open plains, boats chug through the depths of mirror-like water, and stockmen on horseback direct their livestock through sun-drenched tussock or sheets of rain. Hill, who was profoundly influenced in his early career by a meeting with Impressionistic painter John Crump, describes wanting to depict a way of life that is increasingly disappearing into the past, overtaken by the drive of technology, development and progress; yet there is a comforting familiarity in the imagery, a sense of serenity and oneness with the land that feels somehow timeless.
Light and shadow is used skilfully to create atmosphere in Whanganui River, you can almost hear the sounds of the bush, and in coastal works such as Martins Bay, Cape Palliser and Mangatoetoe, Cape Palliser, as waves crash against the rocks and seagulls circle above tracks in the sand, the thick, textural dabs of colour create a sense of movement and energy. It's the humanity and heart in the works, however, that stands out. A genuine love for the land and people shines through, and the most everyday activities, the countless small moments that make up lives, are treated with significance and respect.
Harry Watson's art is full of character, puzzles and countless thought-provoking details. Fantastical creatures do seemingly impossible things in Watson's dream-like works. He blends the familiar with the bizarre, the real with the imaginative, and often you aren't quite sure what story you're being drawn into, but the result is so fascinating that you go along with it regardless.
Many of his pieces have an ominous, unsettling effect, enhanced rather than offset by the quirkiness of his style. Figures toil in scenes of apparent chaos, smiles are sardonic rather than joyful, and skull imagery creates tension and uncertainty. The intricate wooden frames and carvings that enclose the painted imagery are testament to Watson's experience with cabinet-making, but also emphasise a fascination with medieval religious paintings and altarpieces. The grandeur of the frames contrasts with the fine lines and delicate brushstrokes in the surreal narratives.
Watson's concern with darker events of the past and his exploration into the colonial history of New Zealand features strongly in his work, with many pieces incorporating historical figures, symbols, and both native and introduced flora and fauna. There seems to be a reflection on the lasting impact of decisions made and actions taken long ago, and perhaps, the mistakes and prejudices that are continuously repeated.
Emily Siddell and Stephen Bradbourne's life together is expressed in their art, with their joint exhibition "Juxtapose" interspersing their different media and styles into one cohesive body of work. Siddell, a ceramic artist, counts glass artists among her formative influences, while glass artist Bradbourne began his career in ceramics, and that crossover and the mutual inspiration they find in each other is clear in each beautiful set of vessels.
"Juxtapose" seems to be grounded in the elements, with air blown into the glass and the ceramic shaped from earth, and the designs reflecting the spirit of the artists and the colours and textures of nature. The opacity of the ceramic pieces situated against the translucency of the glass is incredibly effective. The use of repeating pattern creates a consistency for the eye where you might have to look twice to realise you're seeing bottles created by different hands out of materials with very disparate properties.
Contrarily, in most of the collections the similarity of pattern highlights the contrasts between the solid ceramic and the deceptively fragile glass. While Siddell's decorative patterning is confined to the exterior, Bradbourne's is embedded within the structure itself, and with the opposition between dark and light, solid and sheer, the effect is almost like seeing a photograph and its negative, each enhancing the other.

While there, she also worked on health disparities and outcomes projects concerning health literacy, as well as enhanced recovery (ERAS) protocols. Researching, and seeing, health disparities through health literacy at the clinical level and its connection to racial disparities in surgical outcomes inspired her current research. Broadly speaking, she is interested in the history of health disparities for minority groups, the patient-physician relationship, and the influences race, gender, and paternalism have on these subjects.
