Film Review: Madison Wolfe Shines in the Flawed, But Kind-Hearted I Kill Giants

Leave a Comment on Film Review: Madison Wolfe Shines in the Flawed, But Kind-Hearted I Kill Giants
I Kill Giants, Danish director Anders Walter's adaptation of Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Niimura's beloved 2009 graphic novel of the same name, has a central problem, and it is best crystallized in the following tweet:
Someone save me some time and tell me if this girl has a great imagination or is there really giants 🤷🏾♂#IKillGiants
— ♚ᙓᗩ♚ (@EmperorAsshole) July 2, 2018
Basically, what's your level of patience for a coming-of-age story about a young girl named Barbara (Madison Wolfe) fighting monsters which are most likely just metaphorical manifestations of her unspecified grief? Are you in it just to see if the monsters are real or not? Or will you allow yourself to be sucked into Barbara's fierce campaign to save her oceanside town from an oncoming hoard of Shadow of the Colossus-inspired giants while also dodging bullies at school, avoiding the guidance counselor (Zoe Saldana), and making herself scarce at home to avoid an annoying older brother and overprotective older sister (Imogen Poots)?
On top of all that, have you already seen A Monster Calls? If so, are you willing to watch basically the same movie with a female protagonist instead of male and a slightly different order of events?
Questions like that ultimately sunk I Kill Giants earlier this year, dooming it to an ultra limited theatrical release and a rather quiet second life on VOD. It's newly out on Blu-Ray, but its reputation as a noble failure persists. IndieWire's film critic David Ehrlich and Walter even sat down for a fascinating conversation about the film's perceived strengths and weaknesses.
Walter, an Oscar winner for his short film Helium, argued, "I have a strong reaction to this story because I had to find my own courage from a fantasy world when I was young. I worked with six producers on this, all men from 40 to 60, and they felt the same way. I hope that any teenage boy or girl can find themselves in Barbara because she's an outsider who has to accept certain realities."
It's not Walter's first time delving into this territory, either. Helium is about a hospital janitor telling a terminally ill child grand stories about the magical place he'll go to when he dies. Some find it glib and overly sentimental whereas others take it as an emotional gut punch.
If you have 22 minutes to spare, here's Helium:
The same is true of I Kill Giants. Ehrlich still hates it, arguing "it's kinda dangerous to tell kids that grief is something they have the power to conquer overnight, and not a monster they could fight for the rest of their lives." Vulture's comic book expert Abraham Riesman, however, happily admits I Kill Giants is the first movie to make him cry in the office.
I neither cried nor got caught up in righteous anger in response to I Kill Giants. I more pondered the clearly amazing future ahead of the supremely talented Wolfe, who masters Barbara's rocky mix of harshness and vulnerability. By the end, I was slightly won over to Walter's argument, even if I ultimately agree with those who say there's not quite enough story here to justify a full movie.
When we first meet Barbara, she's creating bait for her perceived enemies, carefully positioning jugs around a forest. She looks out at the world through glasses and wears a set of fluffy bunny ears as a kind of armor, the unofficial costume of her unofficial job as the island's expert giant-hunter. At home, she has nothing but contempt for her video game-obsessed brother and his troglodyte friends, and every bit of the real world she overhears from her overworked, perpetually stressed out older sister simply pushes her further into fantasy. Walter captures all of this as if we're visiting some long lost Amblin classic or perhaps an alt-cut of The Goonies.
Eventually, Barbara gains a friend in Sophia (Sydney Wade), a new student with a British accent and no one to talk to. To Sophia, Barbara's rantings about giants and hunting is mostly a fun game; to Barbara, it's a deadly serious calling, but it's not one she shares with just anyone. The new school counselor knows what's really going on with Barbara, but she never outright says it, clearly unsure of how exactly to cut through the young girl's defenses.
The tension here is an adult watching the film can easily guess where it's all heading. A younger viewer might not, but they might also struggle to engage with the film since it's so slow-moving. This creates the question of who exactly I Kill Giants is really for, other then devotees of the graphic novel, but there's enough universality in Barbara's tale of grief and awkward young friendship to pull in those with plenty of patience as well as a high tolerance for sentiment.
The film delays its reveal of whether the giants are real and what exactly Barbara is running from until the very end, which does it give a distinctly different flavor than Monster Calls. There, J.A. Boyena throws down "the kid's mom is dying from cancer" card in practically the first minute. Here, Walter and his screenwriter Kelly, adapting his own text, play it for mystery and lean into Barbara's possible descent into madness. It doesn't totally work, but it's at least a different approach.
Still, the impressive special effects add to the effective magical realism, and the shot of bunny-eared Barbara staring down a Titan while holding her gigantic hammer is an all-timer:
If only the rest of the film contained as much power as that one image.
I Kill Giants' message, as communicated multiple times throughout the movie, is we are all stronger than we think are and can get through anything. It's a simple, but inspiring call to arms, and definitely earns I Kill Giants worthwhile applause for its clearly pure intentions. The film isn't always worthy of that message, but even when it falters Madison Wolfe is there to hold our attention.
Barbara has so many good snarky lines, like the one above.
Did Bob's Burgers take the "little girl always wears bunny ears" idea from the I Kill Giant graphic novel?

March for Dignity in India
Photograph by: Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan
New Delhi, India 🇮🇳
Organized by the Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan of the National Campaign for Dignity activists marched to bring awareness to sexual violence against women, rape, domestic violence and to honor survivors. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, Rape in India is the fourth most common crime against women. Many times the rapist is someone close to the victim. Violence against women, rape and gang rape are growing problems in this nation.
Rape is increasingly used as an instrument to assert power and intimidate the powerless in India. These horrific crimes have prompted hundreds to take to the streets, and call for the death penalty in parliament. There are various movements fighting against this these atrocities in society. Marches, demonstrations and protests are being put on. Campaigns with the the slogan "Am I Next?" as well as "I will go out" women and men are taking to the streets to speak out against this violation of humankind and to make change in their communities. Perhaps looking forward, this violence against women will decrease. It does leave us with the more to ponder. When will sexual violence and violence against women end? What is our vision for the future?

Q: How to find the variables selected by the tearing algorithm in Dymola I'd like to find the set of variables selected by the tearing algorithm in Dymola. so that I could know which variables link different parts of the system together. But I am not sure how to show these variables in Dymola.  I checked the help document of Dymola but didn't find anything related to how to show these variables.

A: You should be able to see it in dsmodel.mof, which is created after setting Advanced.OutputModelicaCode = true; or activating it in the UI using "Simulation Setup -> Translation -> Generate listing of translated Modelica code in dsmodel.mof".
Dymola will generate the relevant code in the // Torn part. Searching for this in dsmodel.mof is a good option as the file can get pretty big.
The exact code will depend on the type of problem. Two examples:
(1) A rather simple electrical like this

will be solved symbolically, with the resulting code:
...
// Linear system of equations
// Tag: simulation.linear[1]
  // Symbolic solution
    /*  Original equation
    resistor1.v = constantVoltage.V-resistor.v-capacitor.v;
    */
    resistor1.p.i :=  -(capacitor.v-constantVoltage.V+resistor.R_actual*
      inductor.i)/(resistor.R_actual+resistor1.R_actual);
  // Torn part
    resistor.p.i := inductor.i+resistor1.p.i;
    resistor.v := resistor.R_actual*resistor.p.i;
    resistor1.v := resistor1.R_actual*resistor1.p.i;
// End of linear system of equations
...

In this case the tearing variable is resistor1.p.i, with the equation to compute it stated directly there.
(2) Translating Modelica.Thermal.FluidHeatFlow.Examples.TwoMass will give you a non-nonlinear case, i.e. when an iteration is needed to solve the system of equations. You should find something like:
...
  // Start values for iteration variables of non-linear system of 1 equations:
  //   pipe2.V_flow(start = 0)
algorithm // Torn part
  pipe2.flowPort_a.m_flow := pipe2.V_flow*pipe2.medium.rho;
  pipe1.flowPort_a.m_flow :=  -(pipe2.flowPort_a.m_flow+ambient1.flowPort.m_flow);
...

The tearing variable is pipe2.V_flow in this case, with the start value for the iteration.

A: In Dymola 2021X, we could use Equation Incidence Browser to see which variables are used in the nonlinear equations, I guess these variables could be treated as tearing variables. And this works for commercial libraries, too. But it is a pity that Dymola 2021X doesn't allow showing details of nonlinear equations.

It was the first day of school on Monday. I am back to planning meals for a family of 5 since our daughter returned to college last week. I chose to make a simple dinner, spaghetti and meatballs, that 4 out of the 5 of us would eat. Since our youngest likes pasta but not the meatballs, there are leftovers for later in the week.
Use a combination of clipped coupons and sales at Shoprite to make this meal for less than $3.00. That is $0.60 per serving! Check your local store's site and weekly sales here to check the current prices.
There are 2 coupons that were available in the 08/05 Smart Source insert that expire on 12/01/18. I used 3, $1.00 off 1 and the Shoprite ecoupon for $1.50 off 2.
Try this new sauce from Ragu®. Use the $0.75 off 1 jar (SS 08/26/18, exp. 09/23/18).
No coupons needed for the pasta. It is on-sale this week for $0.88.
For More Savings: If the pasta you like is not on sale, purchase the 2 lb. box of pasta at Aldi for $1.69. That is $0.85 a pound.
For More Savings:If the pasta you like is not on sale, purchase the 2 lb. box of pasta at Aldi for $1.69. That is $0.85 a pound, cheaper than Ronzoni!
There is a $1.50 off Coleman Natural products available to print here. Our local Shoprite has the Polish Kielbasa on sale for $2.99. Use the coupon on get this item for as low as $1.49 in time for Labor Day!
There are no coupons available for this product, that I know of, but the sale price makes this a great deal. It is $2.99 for the 16 oz. package. I use it to make the pork portion of this recipe served over brown rice.

Madeleine Edison Friends and Acquaintances (1908-1912)
These letters were written primarily by friends of Madeleine Edison. Included are letters by suitors or prospective suitors Joseph Zane (Joe) Batten, Henry Watkins (Wat) Ellerson, Credo Fitch Harris, Robert Doremus (Bob) Mills, and Henri Schenck. Also included is correspondence by Llewellyn Park neighbor Anna Foster and by former schoolmates Elsa Denison, Ruth George, Margaret Gregory, Margaret Mary (Peggy) James (daughter of psychologist William James), and Julia Thompson. Other correspondents include family friends Georgia Blankenship, Dr. Edwin R. Chadourne, Orlando and Minnie Rouland, and Rev. George E. Vincent. There is also a draft letter from Madeleine Edison to Wat Ellerson, written shortly after her return from Europe in 1911, informing him of her secret engagement to John Eyre Sloane. In addition to the correspondence, there is an index to a friendship calendar for 1909 containing the names of numerous friends, relatives, and acquaintances, with a record of the number of friendship sheets sent out to each. Also included are printed programs for two plays performed by the Merrie Masquers, a theatrical group in which Madeleine was involved: Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1910), in which she played the role of Gwendoline Fairfax, and Jerome K. Jerome's The New Lady Bantock (1911), in which she played the title role. A printed script for Wilde's play bears Madeleine's marginal comments. There are also six pages of notes by Madeleine containing advice to John Sloane, who had been slated to play the role of John Worthing before illness forced him to withdraw. In addition, there is a photocopy from the Library of Congress of a 1912 check from Madeleine to author William D. Howells for the amount of $125.00. Approximately 60 percent of the items have been selected. Included are letters by Joseph Batten and Margaret Gregory, commenting on Joe's feelings about Madeleine; by Batten, regarding Thomas Edison's hospitalization in February 1908; by Elsa Denison, describing Madeleine's 1908 Halloweeen party; by Dr. Chadbourne, regarding Edison's new battery; by Albridge C. Smith of the Merrie Masquers, inviting Madeleine to play the role of Gwendolyn; by Georgia Blankenship and Wat Ellerson, pertaining to Madeleine's visit to Richmond, Virginia, in January 1911; by Ellerson, expressing surprise and disappointment after learing about Madeleine's engagement; by Elsa Denison and Julia Thompson, expressing their views on Catholics and mixed marriages; and by John Lenard Merrill of East Orange, congratulating Madeleine for her performance in The New Lady Bantock.

Blue Summit is the unincorporated area of Jackson County sandwiched between Independence and Kansas City. The Inter City Fire Protection District is a small District, established in 1936, that covers that area with fire and E.M.S. coverage.
Chief Jeff Jewell has been the fire chief for the past eleven years and has seen his department grow and improve to and I.S.O. (Insurance Services Office ) rating of a 4. (4 out of 10 rating) The District covers a one square mile that overlooks Kansas City and Independence. The Fire District built a new fire station located at 1702 Blue Ridge Blvd. in 2007, and added two ambulances in 2013. The district also started paying the Paramedics and E.M.T.s.
"The District has shrunk in size over the years with the expansion of Kansas City and Independence," said Jewell "but we are still providing for our area. Inter City had a fire station in the Fairmount area for years but moved to (Dog patch) Blue Summit back in the day. I would love to have some of the old pictures of the Fire Station and its firefighters to hang in our new station as a reminder of how things have changed." If you have any items or pictures you would like to donate to the Inter City Fire Protection District contact Chief Jeff Jewell 816-461-9090.


ORE PROOF , HORSES Belong here ,BLM Funny part you proved how ever so wrong you are !!!!!!! The HORSES are INDIGENOUS YOU ARE NOT BLM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A PUBLIC Apology and Put Our Mustangs Where they have always belonged ON THE RANGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some one please put the BLM and the Government out of OUR MISERY!
Hell the BLM has always known it, they just ignore it as it's not part of their cousins, uncles or parents ag interests, Money is the culture of the USA, not heridtary belonging or species interests, other then the money horders of our species.
….better yet…someone send the gov and the blm this article and pray that someone there knows how to read…..!

Pantaleón fue un monje basiliano y artista de mosaicos del siglo XII.

De Pantaleón no se saben datos biográficos ciertos pero se puede creer que fue un clérigo, pues se autodenomina Pantaleonis presbiteri, probablemente un monje que seguía la regla de san Basilio y de origen griego.

Su obra más importante fue el mosaico del pavimento de la Catedral de Otranto, realizado entre el año 1163 y el 1165 muestra no solo su habilidad en el arte sino también su profundidad teológica.

Mosaico del pavimento de la catedral de Otranto
Esta obra, original y perfectamente conservada, ofrece un corte transversal de la cultura del Alta Edad Media bastante excepcional y de difícil interpretación. Junto a las escenas claras del Antiguo Testamento (jamás del Nuevo) como la Expulsión de Adán y Eva del jardín de Edén, La historia de Caín y Abel, La construcción de la Torre de Babel, Noé y el arca, Sansón y el profeta Jonás; se muestran también historias y personajes de la cultura pagana como Diana cazadora, Atlante que sostiene el mundo en sus espaldas, el Minotauro y Alejandro Magno.

En la parte central de la nave se extiende una Árbol de la vida y a la derecha (mirando hacia el altar) doce medallones que representan a los meses y al zodiaco (un tema desarrollado también en otras iglesias medievales). En el pavimento otras escenas están inspiradas por la cultura caballeresca con las historias del Rey Arturo (Rex Arcturus) y Parsifal.

No faltan el Paraíso y el Infierno, donde se agitan los condenados entre los tormentos y un gordo Satanás coronado y a caballo de un dragón. Resulta interesante una de las pocas representaciones del Diablo negro (Puer niger) todavía con las alas blancas del ángel, que bien pronto serán sustituidas por las de un murciélago.

En el centro de la nave hay otros medallones, trece de los cuales forman un clásico Bestiario medieval en el cual se pueden reconocer: un basilisco, un lince, un centauro, un unicornio y una antigua iconografía de la sirena representada mientras sostiene entre los brazos sus dos colas.

La simbología teológica de los mosaicos es tema de estudio entre los estudiosos pues resulta difícil deducir el sentido que Pantaleón o quien haya solicitado los mosaicos quería darle.

Otros mosaicos
Algunos mosaicos semejantes o provenientes de la misma escuela se pueden admirar en la Catedral de Taranto y en la de Brindisi, en Giovinazzo, Ruvo di Puglia, Bitonto, Tranti y en la Basílica de San Nicola en Bari aunque no se conservan completas y son de difícil lectura.
El mosaico de la catedral de Brindisi ha sido atribuido, por algunos historiadores a Pantaleón, mientras que los de la catedral de Taranto a un alumno suyo, Petroio de Taranto.

Microhandling
Macrohandling
Gecko effect
From nature to industry
Adhesive gripping systems inspired by nature
Turning evolution into revolutionary technical designs
The Gecomer® Technology is the result of award-winning fundamental research on the strongest adhesion in nature. The pioneering research by Prof. Eduard Arzt and his groups, at the Max Planck Institute for Metal Research and at the Leibniz-Institute for New Materials, has successfully demonstrated the transfer to laboratory scale.
Close-up view of gecko foot
Using clean room technology and computer simulations, we have developed our own, patented surface structures that adhere reversibly to various materials and objects. The adhesion and release performance is tailored to the requirements in an industrial environment through material, topography and miniaturization.
Bioinspired, synthetic adhesive structures are the base of the Gecomer® Technology. They are manufactured from specialized polymers and optimized using numerical simulations.
Gecko-inspired special polymers for industrial applications
Finely structured, hairy ("fibrillar") adhesive organs enable geckos to adhere temporarily and controllably to a wide variety of surfaces.
But how can a holding force be generated without external mechanisms such as electric or magnetic fields, negative pressure, or residual adhesives?
The basic principle of microscopic dry adhesion systems is based on the observation that microstructured surfaces typically exhibit higher adhesion than unstructured, flat adhesives. This is referred to as the principle of contact splitting. For a given surface area, the greater the adhesion effect, the greater the number of smaller dot areas into which this total area is divided. At this micro- and nanoscale, surface effects known as van der Waals interactions dominate. These weak, intermolecular interactions occur temporarily on an atomic scale between two polarizable molecules without changing the material properties of the respective partners.
Picking Process
To pick the component, the pillars of the adhesive structure are gently pressed onto the component surface. The contact between the two surfaces causes the van der Waals forces to act and the component can be handled safely.
Picking with gentle pressure
Releasing Process
To lay down the component, the contact area is reduced, for example by briefly buckling the pillars. The van der Waals forces lose their effect and the component is released.
Several release mechanisms can be used:
Releasing the component by buckling – patent pending
Releasing the component by sliding
Releasing the component by rotating
Publikation von INNOCISE
Highly sensitive adhesion
A synthetic, reversible adhesion system based on a gecko foot delivers impressive results, in particular for MICROHANDLING. Inspired by nature, the physical principle utilised leaves sensitive surfaces intact,
conserves resources and can be used with no size restrictions.
Our industrial society is shifting from standardised products towards increasingly individual products tailored to customer needs. The increasing levels of automation and miniaturisation that contribute to companies' profitability these days are in contrast to the growing demands for product flexibility and individuality. Appropriate handling approaches play a central role in these development.
Publication of the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials
Engineering Micropatterned Dry Adhesives: From Contact Theory to Handling Applications
Reversible adhesion is the key functionality to grip, place, and release objects nondestructively. Inspired by nature, micropatterned dry adhesives are promising candidates for this purpose and have attracted the attention of research groups worldwide. Their enhanced adhesion compared to nonpatterned surfaces is frequently demonstrated. An important conclusion is that the contact mechanics involved is at least as important as the surface energy and chemistry. In this paper, the roles of the contact geometry and mechanical properties are reviewed. With a focus on applications, the effects of substrate roughness and of temperature variations, and the long‐term performance of micropatterned adhesives are discussed. The paper provides a link between the current, detailed understanding of micropatterned adhesives and emerging applications.

The God who does not change (Malachi 3:somewhere – read the whole chapter it's all good) clearly demonstrates how He deals with His people.
Please remember that New-Testament Paul tells us in 1 Cor 10 the accounts of God's discipline and judgment of His people in the Old Testament were written for us New Testament folks, to invite as well as incite us to holiness, obedience, and success.
With that as our launch-pad, let's consider a verse in Daniel that begins by looking forward to Daniel's near-future (in Daniel's OWN time) vision re the Mede-Persian westward-advancing empire being conquered by the eastward-charging Greeks, and then transitions into related but still-to-be-fulfilled (in OUR time) prophecy of the (evil) little horn that will emerge from one of the four horns that came out of the ram (Greece).
Sovereign God, who has command over the armies of man, confirms the WHY for the activation of these great prophetic troubles: Sin. There are times when the sin of the people of God provoke our righteous God to engage an army to correct His people.
Although the scriptures at all times offer understanding of this tough and sobering truth (to those who would press into the word of God in sincerity and humility), God reveals to us that EVENTUALLY, when Messiah returns, that often-considered mysterious "WHY" will become more evident, both to the nations as well as to His own people.
28 then they (ISRAEL) shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.
This is definitely NOT intended to imply that all suffering is a direct result of our own personal or even national sin – we are indeed living in a fallen and broken world. At the same time, it is wise to note that scripture clearly links the sin of the people of God to a heap of trouble. That did not disappear in the New Testament dispensation (again: 1 Cor 10), and in fact the OT verses of Ezekiel that we just read inarguably look forward to the imminent return of Messiah, clearly a NT event. Any philosophical or theological explanation or rationalization that discounts the accountability of the saints in the NT dispensation (or for that matter any dispensation) is invited to bow to the truth of scripture.
God revealed this Kingdom principle to Solomon, although He had already demonstrated it earlier (pre-Solomon) via the Midianites (in the days of Gideon), and also confirmed it again in the time of wicked king Manasseh.
12 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: 'Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

We aren't selling there, but Stay has deposited itself at Centric Bank's Hummelstown branch for the whole of February.
Our six-foot table display, featuring a sampling of our tees, greets lobby patrons. In addition, the branch's staff is wearing our tees on two Fridays during the month.
We want to give a shout-out to assistant branch manager Amber Spotts for making our month-long visit possible and many thanks to the Centric team for supporting Stay and other local small-business customers.
My wife, Sara, used to make biscotti under the brand name Putch & Buckie's (coming to a retro tee in 2019!). One of the retail outlets she sold to was Cocoa Beanery, a coffee shop and cafe near Hershey. Donna Fair has managed Cocoa Beanery since it opened in 2008.
In January, as I sought opportunities for Stay Apparel Co. with area pop-up markets, I also reached out to Donna. Cocoa Beanery, under a series of big tents, hosts a Thursday farmers market from spring until fall.
I wondered whether Donna would be interested in launching a makers market. As the name suggests, these are vendors who create something, from tees and knitwear to candles and pottery to jewelry and soaps.
Donna graciously discussed the concept in general terms but made no commitment. By June, however, with a little more space on her calendar, she invited me to discuss the idea with her in greater detail.
While Donna offered a great venue, I could reach out to some of the kind, talented entrepreneurs from throughout central Pennsylvania that I had met while participating in the Harrisburg Flea, York Flea, Creatively Lancaster and Market on Chocolate (downtown Hershey) pop-up markets.
We launched with seven vendors on July 27, piggy-backing on Cocoa Beanery's "Live on the Lawn" series that features live music, grill food and craft beer. Our makers market, at 1215 Research Blvd., Hummelstown, runs from 6 to 9 p.m. on the fourth Friday of the month. Admission is free.
For the first show, Stay was joined by Adrienne's Herbals, Bianca Zidik, Burlap & Bows, Boom! Crafted Pickles, Jennie Bowman Designs and Moonrise Candle Co.
We grew to nine vendors for the Aug. 24 show. We expect to have 16 vendors for the third show, Sept. 28, and 17 for the final show of 2018, on Oct. 26.
But that might not be the final show. Donna and I have discussed holding a holiday makers market in early December. (Vendors interested in participating: please contact me at hello@stayapparel.com).
Donna suggested an appearance by Santa Claus. If we pull it off, I might have to ask Sara about baking biscotti for the occasion.
Stay Apparel Co. is partnering with the Hershey Volunteer Fire Department on a fundraising T-shirt featuring Station 48's tower.
Launched this month at stayapparel.com, Stay offers custom U.S.-made clothing and accessories.
All proceeds will benefit the department's capital campaign.
The shirts are $25 each and can be purchased at stayapparel.com or by appointment at Station 48, 21 W. Caracas Ave., Hershey, which can be reached at 717-533-2953.
Made from a cotton/polyester blend, the shirts come in unisex sizes of small, medium, large and XL. Sizes 2XL and 3XL are available only at Station 48.

Michael B. Jordan Set to Star in a Rainbow Six Film by the Director of John Wick
Image Source: Amazon Studios
Michael B. Jordan's Rainbow Cinematic Universe.
Published on January 17, 2023 John Esposito
Home » News » Michael B. Jordan Set to Star in a Rainbow Six Film by the Director of John Wick
John Wick director, Chad Stahelski, has become a hot commodity in the entertainment industry due to his immense success found with John Wick and similar action movies. It's been two years since he was announced to be at the helm of Sony's Ghost of Tsushima movie, and, according to the Hollywood Reporter, he has no plans of slowing down as he's partnering up with Michael B. Jordan to work on a Rainbow Six feature film.
This isn't Michael B. Jordan's first rodeo in the Tom Clancy universe, as 2021 saw him star in the role of John Kelly, aka John Clark, in the film adaptation of Tom Clancy's Without Remorse. While the film saw middling reviews on release, critics had plenty of praise for Jordan's performance, with it garnering enough success to guarantee a follow-up.
Jordan has gone on record mentioning that Without Remorse focuses on a personal story, and a sequel would follow an action-packed formula, which is the case with Stahelski at the helm. Ditching the personal story explored, it seems that the upcoming Rainbow Six film will focus on similar material covered by the games of the same name, which Ubisoft has made into quite the spectacle.
No timetable has been attached to the project, but as mentioned, Stahelski has his hands full for quite some time with the John Wick spinoff and reboot of Highlander on his to-do list.

Here are a few comments from some of our happy and satisfied families and friends, across all our homes.
Excellent care with exceptional professional and supportive staff. I cannot praise them enough !!! This has been by far the hardest thing to have to do for a loved one, dementia is a wicked disease, but with the help and support from all members of staff, this transition from home to full-time care has been the best it could be.
Nothing is too much trouble and there is always a key worker or member of staff who takes the time to talk to you about all aspects of care. I love the Facebook page so I can see all the fun activities that my mum has been doing especially as she can never remember that she has done them ??.I also love that they take care of Dad as well when he visits and understand all the difficult emotions he is also going through.
My wife, Lyn, and I feel we must write to express our gratitude to Weald Hall Residential Home staff for their excellent care of my mother, Marjorie Borrer, aged 97. She has been a resident for two years , has severe dementia, is deaf, almost blind and bedridden from fragility and old age. However, she is chatted to, kept clean and comfortable, free of pain, fed and watered and treated with real affection, respect, patience and love – so important! – by all the staff. She has a lovely room – warm and comfortable – and the whole home is kept clean and pleasant for all. We can visit at any time and are always treated to a warm and friendly welcome – we feel like friends not visitors. We are aware that only the care, effort and diligence of the staff have kept her alive and given her the highest quality of life possible in her condition. My mother seems content and very aware of the warmth and affection with which she is treated. Thank God for homes like this!
Firstlings is like my second home, I am always made to feel really welcome when visiting my father. The staff are amazing providing dedicated care to all the residents.
Thank you so much for making nanna's 100th birthday so special, we had a fabulous time, and the way everything was set up and laid out was absolutely PERFECT.
To Angela and all the staff, Words cannot express how grateful we are for you allowing us to throw a diamond wedding party for mum and dad at Chalkney House, it was a great success with about 40 family member attending, thank you so much for doing the food it really was a marvellous spread. We know how much it meant to both of them.
Thank you for all the kindness you have shown my mother and us as a family, don't know how we would have coped without your support.
We just wanted to thank you for the care and kindness that everyone at Weald Hall has always shown mum for the four years she was in your care she always seemed happy and comfortable and we have never had cause to regret our decision. Weald Hall become her home thank you once again.
We would like to thank you and all the staff for the care and dedication shown to Gladys (our mother) during her stay at Hardwick Dene. With highest respect and regards to you all.
Thank you so much for caring for mum, it was comforting for us to know she was being so well cared for.
You all do such a wonderful job, don't know how you do it you are such special people.
We are most grateful to have found you…. don't ever change…. you are all doing the most amazing work.

What is Province of Canada?
Province of Canada was a British colony in North America from 1841 to 1867. The British Parliament passed the Act of Union 1840 on July 23, 1840, merging the two Colonies, Upper and Lower Canada. Its formation reflected recommendations made by John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham in the Report on the Affairs of British North America following the Rebellions of 1837–1838.
Province of Canada ceased to exist at Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867, when it was redivided into the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
We felt the name given to the unification of the two Canadas was a perfect representation of our brand's goal – to blend classic Canadian style with modern sensibilities. One of our founders is from Quebec and the other is from Ontario, which also supports our brand story.

Q: User library (collection of C modules): best method to provide overridable configuration per C module? I want to create and share a new C user library (using best practices). It is a collection of C modules that a user program can compile and link with. Each module has a default configuration, but the user program must be able to override the default configuration (only if it wants to). Also, the user program must not be forced to provide configurations for C modules that it does not use.
I want to group the C module files together in the same library directory (e.g. module.h, module_cfg.h & module.c) to minimize the learning curve for a user of my library.
Here is my solution to the problem, but I was wondering if this is bad form and if there is a better solution.
Let's call the new C library FancyLib and use the prefix "fl" to prevent namespace clashes with other libraries or user code. Inside the library is a timer module. It has a default configuration file, but is overridden by a user supplied configuration file. Also inside the library is a module called foo that is not used by the user program.
The whole user project, including the library, consists of the following files:

*

*libs/fl/fl_lib.h

*libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr.h

*libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr_cfg.h <-- DEFAULT

*libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr.c

*libs/fl/utils/fl_foo.h

*libs/fl/utils/fl_foo_cfg.h <-- DEFAULT

*libs/fl/utils/fl_foo.c

*cfg/fl_tmr_cfg.h <-- OVERRIDE

*src/main.c

The content of src/main.c is:
#include <fl_lib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    fl_tmr_init();
}

The content of libs/fl/fl_lib.h is:
#ifndef __FL_LIB_H__
#define __FL_LIB_H__

#include <utils/fl_tmr.h>
#include <utils/fl_foo.h>

#endif

The content of libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr.h is:
#ifndef __FL_TMR_H__
#define __FL_TMR_H__

// Include configuration (default or user supplied)
#include <fl_tmr_cfg.h>

void fl_tmr_init(void);

#endif

The content of libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr.c is:
#include "fl_tmr.h" // <-- Need to be quotes

void fl_tmr_init(void)
{
    // Initialise timer
}

The content of libs/fl/utils/fl_foo.h is:
#ifndef __FL_FOO_H__
#define __FL_FOO_H__

// Include configuration (default or user supplied)
#include <fl_foo_cfg.h>

#endif

The search path for the compiler is specified as "-Icfg -Isrc -Ilibs/fl". This ensures that the user supplied configuration file is found first (cfg/fl_tmr_cfg.h) and overrides the default file in the library (libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr_cfg.h).
Is this the best way to go about it?
This solution only works if #include <> (with angle brackets) are used, because it "forces" the compiler to follow the specified include directory precedence and not use the file it found first in the same directory as the *.c file (e.g. when libs/fl/utils/fl_tmr.c is compiled).
The use of #include "" (quotes) versus #include <> (angle brackets) have been discussed in depth here, but I was still confused by this GCC documentation page that made me think that #include <> (angle brackets) should be used for system files only, e.g. #include <stdio.h>
One reference example is the boost library that uses #include <filename> extensively, but makes an exception. Here is an example:
boost\libs\math\src\tr1\acosh.cpp:
#include <boost/math/tr1.hpp>
#include <boost/math/special_functions/acosh.hpp> // <-- Angle brackets
#include "c_policy.hpp" // <-- Quotes

Note: c_policy.hpp is in the same directory as acosh.cpp
One pitfall mentioned in that discussion is that dependencies are generated for #include "" files only and not for #include <> files. This means that if a file is changed in the library then the whole project needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Thanks in advance,
Pieter
P.S. Any other pointers/hints/links/examples to create a good (embedded) C library would be greatly appreciated.

A: Using angle brackets, #include <mylib.h> requires the path to find mylib.h to be known to the IDE (compiler).
Using quotes does not require this.
What to use may depend on how you organize your files. If they are pretty local and relative to your main program, it is better to use quotes, which makes your development directory tree easier transportable.

A: It's nothing too complicated.
When you use #include <someFile.h> GCC will search through it's include paths (default one like the system headers paths (for ex - /usr/include/), or specified explicitly using the -I<path> option on the command line.
On the other hand, when you use #include "someFile.h", GCC will search for said file relative to the current file. So, if the current file is include/test.h and it has the line #include "test2.h" in it, then GCC will check for the existence of the file include/test2.h and include it.
So, in your case, since you want to distribute a library, use the "" style for referencing header files that belong to your library. If you use some other library, then it's best to have <>.

Madich's take
I was concerned. It was a playoff-caliber game, the stakes were high and the Patriots have been in this situation many times. The Dolphins were not.
The other concern I had was coach Bill Belichick's extra time to prepare. It was pretty clear to me he put in tapes of the Cardinals game, the Texans game and Brett Favre throwing for touchdowns against the Dolphins' porous secondary. We got exposed.
Although the offense and Chad Pennington played well, you don't want to get into a game where you're trying to trade touchdowns with them because they have player power that we can't match. Randy Moss was a monster out there.
Heartbreaking loss. Yeah. There's no sugar-coating it or putting a happy face on it today. I thought coming in you win this and it's a springboard. You lose this and you're in a quagmire.
Tune in to Mandich at 4 p.m. today on WQAM (560-AM) for more on the Dolphins.

As Thales' theorem tells us, trigonometrical ratios of an angle do not depend on the right-angled triangle we choose. Therefore, we can choose a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse is the radius of a unit circle.
We have drawn a set of axes and used the origin as the centre of an auxiliary circle whose radius is equal to one unit. We have drawn a right-angled triangle in the circle, which we will use to define the trigonometrical ratios. By choosing a radius of this length we have made it easier to find, for each trigonometrical ratio of a given angle, a segment whose length is equal to this ratio.
This circle whose radius is equal to one unit is called the unit circle.
To learn the trigonometrical ratios of angles.
To find the relation between the different trigonometrical ratios of the same angle.
To find the relation between the trigonometrical ratios of complementary and supplementary angles, as well as angles with a difference of p radians and opposite angles.
Recognise the relation that exists between the sides of a right-angled triangle.

Q: Split and display file line in bash I have a simple bash script and I don't understand the return value.
My script
#!bin/bash
string=$(head -n 1 test.txt)
IFS=":"
read -r pathfile line <<< "$string"
echo "left"$line"right"

And my test.txt
filepath:file content
others lines
...

I have this return on the console.
rightfile content

The problem isn't when file only have 1 line.
I don't know why I don't have left value right to result.

A: Your input file has MSWin line ends (\x0D\x0A). Therefore, \x0D becomes part of $line and when printed, it moves the cursor back to the beginning, so $line"right" overwrites it.
Run dos2unix or fromdos on the input file to fix it.
BTW, you don't need to quote left and right. Quoting the variable might be needed, though.

Meshech Chochmah
Lethal Davening
Parshas Vayechi
By Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein | Series: Meshech Chochmah | Level: Advanced
I have given you Shechem – one portion more than your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Emorites with my sword and my bow.
Meshech Chochmah: Onkelos changes "my sword" and "my bow" to tzalusi / my prayer and ba'usi / my supplication. These prayer-words are not synonyms. They reflect two entirely different modes of conversation with HKBH.
Tzalusa refers to our fixed prayer, which is structured, and obeys a given form. In all such fixed prayer, i.e. the shemonah esreh that we daven three times daily, we must precede our list of requests with praise of Hashem, and follow it with thanks. If we tamper with the fixed content or even the formulas that express it, halachah tells us that we have not fulfilled our obligation.
Ba'usa, on the other hand, is free-style. It pops up even where you might not expect it. The gemara[2] allows for it, for example, even within the structure of our fixed prayer. If we wish to innovate, we may add our own thoughts and prayers within each berachah of shemonah esreh, so long as our innovation is related to the specified topic of that berachah. What we say and how we say it, however, remains our choice. There are no givens. We can formulate our autonomous prayer any way we wish.
The two modes could not be more different. Our fixed prayer is part of our designated avodah, our service of Hashem. While kavanah enhances the performance of any mitzvah, it can still be minimally fulfilled simply with the intent to perform Hashem's commandment. Our fixed prayer is not so different. Minimal intention suffices to at least fulfill the requirement of prayer, namely, kavanah in the first berachah, and a very limited degree of kavanah thereafter.
Personal, optional prayer is subject to stricter demands. To be effective, it requires full focus and attention, and knowledge of the meaning of the words. (This might be the intention of the gemara[3] that a person's prayer is heard only if he places his heart in his hands. In other words, he needs to fully direct his heart to Hashem.)
Our fixed prayer revolves around the community, the tzibbur. It is best said together with others; the language is that of the group, not the individual. The gemara points to a seeming contradiction between prayer that is said to be unacceptable without full sincerity and that which is accepted despite shortcomings. The solution, claims the gemara,[4] is that the latter applies to group prayer, to the tzibbur. The point is that the group davening is our fixed, established prayer, which is not as demanding of kavanah as the prayer of the individual.
We now understand why Yaakov spoke of his davening specifically as "sword" and "bow." He wished to accentuate the differences between the modes of prayer. The blade of a sword is inherently dangerous. It requires very little effort to cause great damage. Simply grazing it can be injurious, even fatal.
Arrows are quite different. They are as potent as the force applied to the bow-string, no more and no less. The arrows are as deadly as the effort put into them. Yaakov attributed his military victory over the city of Shechem (against great odds, and in standing up to the counterattacks of Shechem's neighbors and allies) to the success of both modes of davening in which he engaged.
The gemara[5] praises the potency of the Shema recited on one's bed before nodding off. It speaks of it not only as a sword, but as a double-edged one. The moments in which a curtain of sleep falls over a person are not well-suited for focus and kavanah. The Shema is recited as a formula, not with a great surfeit of concentration. The gemara therefore underscores that it, too, is part of our daily avodah, and therefore blessed with potency, even when lacking in kavanah.
