Subsequently, he appeared as a lifestyle journalist and talked with numerous distinguished personalities. In an interview, while talking about his journey, Arun said,
Even when I was a journalist and would do interviews, I always wondered what it would be like to be on the other side of the camera – it was always my dream to be an actor.

VJ Sunny Receiving His Award

It was a secret that I did not want to reveal. I wanted people to know me only as sunny and not Arun Reddy. I wanted my screen name to be Sunny since my childhood as I had a bike, which I christened Sunny and people used to address me as Sunny and that's how I chose my screen name."
While giving an interview, he disclosed that how his mother became his biggest inspiration. Arun added,
My mother always wanted to be an actress; however, she could not pursue her dream as no one encouraged her when she was younger. She supported my decision and, I am proud to say that my mother Kalavathi is the reason why I pursued acting."

There is no truth in these speculations. I still have a great rapport with the Kalyana Vaibhogam team and the channel as well. It's just that my contract with the makers of the show has expired and I chose to move on with my other work-related commitments. This 1000-episode journey will stay with me forever."
I had a clean and cordial exit. It was a great working experience with the team which loved me so much, appreciated my work and encouraged me all the while. I want to gracefully move on with the same support and best wishes."

Auditing in SharePoint 2007
By Gustavo Velez
Tracking the complex trail of information within an organization is a major task. To address this issue, Microsoft introduced Audit support possibilities in SharePoint 2007. Audit undertakes the verification and validation of systems, and then processes the results in automated technologies to guarantee the integrity and accuracy of the information. The Audit mechanism ensures that each activity in the system is saved in a repository.
Because SharePoint is Microsoft's primary system to store information, it is essential that it includes a built-in Audit system. In legacy versions, SharePoint lacked a proper default system; although it was possible to program a kind of audit mechanism in SharePoint 2003, it was not a default component. SharePoint 2007 introduced a default system that covers Site Collections, Lists, Libraries, and includes an Object Model to implement custom applications if necessary.
Many companies have strict policies and guidelines related to storing records concerned with the flow and activity of information. With a nod to assuring enterprise transparency, governments require sophisticated tracing procedures to determine juridical responsibility. SharePoint Audit mechanism ensures that each activity that occurs at Site Collection, List/Library, Content Type, and Document/Item is stored in the database, with sufficient security to avoid alterations.
Although the Audit mechanism is a general SharePoint component, only Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) has an interface to activate and configure it. Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) can duplicate the process, but developers need to program the appropriate interfaces to utilize it.
Auditing in MOSS
The Audit mechanism in MOSS is not activated by default. Go to Site actions, Site settings, Site collection Audit settings to activate at the Site Collection level.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1: Configuration of Audit for a Site Collection
At Site settings, you can reach the Informs Audit log reports page. The default Audit reports (elimination, modification, revision, and so forth) is displayed in Excel format; it's also possible to define new custom reports. The Excel report has two tabs: one for a summary of the activities and a second for detailed information, including site and element identifiers, date, event type, and user.
To activate Audit at a Library level, from the configuration page of the Library or List use the Settings page, Information management policy settings, Define a policy..., 'Ok, and Enable Auditing.
Figure 2: Configuration of Audit for a List or Library
Activity reports can be found in the same place as the Audit reports for the Site Collection.
It also is possible to activate Audit for Content Types. The procedure is the same as with Libraries: Create the Content type or select an existing one from the Content type gallery, use the Information management policy settings option, and create the policy.
Finally, Audit can be activated at a document or item level, but neither MOSS nor WSS have interfaces to activate, configure, or review them. In this instance, developers can use the Object Model to create an interface.
Programming Audit
The objects for Site Collection, Lists, and Items (SPSite, SPList, and SPListItem) each have a public property 'Audit' of the SPAudit type. This class permits total control over the respective Audit.
The class SPAudit has an interesting property, 'AuditFlags', making it possible to read or configure the events to be registered (read, change, delete) and the following four methods:
DeleteEntries: Eliminates all the entries in the Registery. To guarantee Audit integrity, the elimination is saved as a new activity that cannot be deleted. In this way, if records are removed, a permanent trace 'saves' the procedural history
GetEntries: Displays the Registry collection
Update: Saves changes made to a Registry
WriteAuditEvent: Writes a new entry in the Registry

Summit Academy Jogapalooza Brings Fun, Funds At Year-End
Jun 19, 2015 07:11AM ● By Julie Slama

Brittany Larkin and her three-year-old, Gwen, were cheering on her seven-year-old son, Laird, while he ran laps around Summit Academy on May 28 during the school's eighth annual fun run.
"He was so cute when he woke up this morning and said, 'today's Jogapalooza,'" she said. "They get so excited for this event. It's a great time for the kids to be doing something fun at the end of the year. So many parents are here cheering them on. It's a real sense of community for the school."
Laird ran with his neighbor Halle Page, and they both said the best part of the run was "running with friends."
Summit's Jogapalooza is held annually as the school's fundraiser, which this year is earmarked for classroom improvements, playground refurbishing, playing field replanting and a marquee sign for the school, school principal Bob Zentner said.
Although an official amount had not been tallied as of press deadline, Summit Parent Organization president Mickie Rhoads said Neibaur Orthodontics pledged a 10 percent donation of what the students raised.
"It's our only fundraiser so we rely heavily on it and hope each student brings in about $40," she said. "It's a great way for students to be physically welcome, and we have great community support for the event."
The support comes through numerous donations from local businesses, such as restaurant coupons and silent auction items, along with a school community pasta dinner. The silent auction, held the night before the event, included Disneyland passes, restaurant vouchers, sporting events, fine arts performances, local amusement parks and car washes.
"Each class also made an auction basket with a theme, such as movie night, reading, arts and crafts, road trips and others," she said.

Students received Summit T-shirts, designed by Sydney Drummond, that showed all the donating companies' names on the back, along with water bottles and snacks at the end of the run. At the end of the day, a school assembly with a raffle was held.
Even so, sixth grader Max Sirrine, like most students, said he liked running the best as he turned onto his fifth lap.
His classmate, Aubree Wasden, who was running the Jogapalooza for her first time, said she liked that they were getting to do something energetic to help raise funds for the school.
Seventh grader Emily Steffen, who has run the event since first grade, said Jogapalooza is "our award for working hard to raise money from our friends, family and neighbors."
"It's fun for us to run with our friends and teachers; I just had fun running and walking with my friends and talking as we went around the school," she said. "My CTE teacher (Sarah Ware) had her heart monitor on her arm and was lapping us. It's just fun for everyone."
Seventh grader Bella McCoy, who ran seven laps and had her parents at the finish line with spray bottles, said she has been participating in Jogapalooza for all eight years of the run.
"It's good to have a break and get our energy out," she said. "It's a nice way to talk to friends while we do it and it signals the end of the year. I'm excited to be an eighth grader and get a new start to a school year and take classes I've wanted to."

Today we live in darkest age. We call college students as a "Powerful Percent." Although they are less than 3% of the world population, they are the ones who will be the leaders of the future in various areas such as politics, economy, law, entertainment, technology, engineering, education, and, etc. The university campus is a great missionary force where students are being raised and sent to reach the world for Christ. However, this great missionary force is becoming an evil and dangerous place now. They are experiencing spiritual darkness. Numerous college students are suffering with spiritual warfare, depression, sexual temptation, aimless, emptiness, loneliness, fear, anger, and insecurity. We believe that the only way to solve these problems for this dark generation of today is Christ Jesus.
Every morning, students gather to meditate on Scripture and begin the day with the power of prayer.
SOON is a life group like a spiritual family that loves, trains, and grows together. SOONJANG (Discipler) makes disciples through life of love, prayer, witnessing of Christ, and commitment to the Lord.
Soon-Jang is a spritual leader. Through SOONJANG training, we build spiritual leaders who can multiply disciple-makers.
It is an evangelism training. Every week, we challenge and lead our involved students to go out and share the Gospel intentionally. This is the one of key identity of our ministry.
Weekly gathering to worship the Lord through praise and hearing the Word of God and fellowship with brothers and sisters in the campus where our students spend the most time. The purpose of this time is to connect students to God, and connect them to others so that they can grow in Christ together as one body.
It is a weekly gathering for prayer movement dedicated to 'standing in the gap' and continually raising up intercessors for our campuses, churches, families, and all nations. All campuses gather together and pray for the city.
It is the central institution for the campus ministry during the school year. It is a place where student leaders live together in a household governed by the spirit of love. It is also a spiritual "boot camp" for building loving, caring, responsible and well-disciplined soldiers of Christ through the deep fellowship and accountability.


Exodus 40:37 If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out--until the day it lifted.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.
If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.
If the cloud was not taken up, they did not set out until the day it was taken up.
then they would set up camp and stay there, until it moved again.
As long as the cloud stayed there, they did not move their camp.
but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they did not travel until the day that it was taken up.
But if the column didn't move, they wouldn't break camp.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
but if the cloud did not lift itself up, then they did not journey until the day that it lifted itself up.
And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel until the day that it was taken up.
Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD's charge and did not set out.
Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.
40:34-38 The cloud covered the tabernacle even in the clearest day; it was not a cloud which the sun scatters. This cloud was a token of God's presence to be seen day and night, by all Israel, that they might never again question, Is the Lord among us, or is he not? It guided the camp of Israel through the wilderness. While the cloud rested on the tabernacle, they rested; when it removed, they followed it. The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. In light and fire the Shechinah made itself visible: God is Light; our God is a consuming Fire. Yet so dazzling was the light, and so dreadful the fire, that Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, till the splendour was abated. But what Moses could not do, our Lord Jesus has done, whom God caused to draw near; and who has invited us to come boldly, even to the mercy-seat. Being taught by the Holy Spirit to follow the example of Christ, as well as to depend upon him, to attend his ordinances, and obey his precepts, we shall be kept from losing our way, and be led in the midst of the paths of judgment, till we come to heaven, the habitation of his holiness. BLESSED BE GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST!

Q: How is ording a List of objects handled with Linq and or Sort? Sorry if this is a duplicate. I'm having a hard time finding an answer because I get so much bloat of people asking how to sort lists in general in my search results.
Say I have a property like this:
public List<object> Hello { get; set; }

Say each element in the list is of the same nullable primitive data type.
So every element is a int? or every element is a decimal? or every element is a DateTime?, etc
What exactly happens if I invoke a Sort or OrderBy on this list? Does it sort based on the underlying type of each element or does it order by the string value of the property?

A: Let's check http://ideone.com/kcXmHE:

So, LINQ uses default comparer for element of list (for string value you can see System.String.CompareTo) and tries to compare with another value (of object type). And, can't do it.
If you change order of elements in initial list (http://ideone.com/foljli), you will get another stack trace:

Vetal Hill (Marathi: वेताळ टेकडी ) is a prominent hill in the city limits of Pune, India. The hill is the  highest point within the city limits, with an elevation of 800 meters. There is a temple of Vetala located on the top of the hill from which the hill derives its name. The Indian Forest Department maintains an observation deck near the temple. The hill is also known by its Marathi name, Vetal Tekdi.

Location and physiography
Vetal Hill is a part of Bhamburda Van Vihar located  on the western side of Pune Municipal Corporation within the city limits. Vetal Tekdi is prominent and is visible from Pashan, Panchavati, Chatturshrungi and other parts of the city. It has two spurs, Fergusson College Hill and Chatturshrungi Hill. The geographical area is 180 30' to 180 32' N and 730 49' to 730 52' E covering an area of .

It runs North-South with some spurs running perpendicular to this hill. Vetal hill runs across areas like MIT College, SNDT Women's University, ILS Law College, Gokhale Nagar, Symbiosis Society and Chatturshrungi..

There is one access road leading up the hill from the south. This can be used to access the Automotive Research Association of India campus located on the hill. There is a public parking lot also located along this road, however access is restricted to this between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm.

Climate

Summers are hot and dry on the hill. The summit is difficult to climb during the monsoon season and is usually foggy. Winter days are also cool and foggy. Sunrise and sunset at Vetal hill attracts many photographers.

The area shares almost same climatic conditions as that of Pune.

Flora
The forest type in this area is dry-deciduous as that of hills around Pune. Medium-sized trees along with shrubs constitute majority of the vegetation. Diversity of herbaceous species is at its peak in monsoon months. Some parasites like Dendropthoe and Striga are also reported in the area. One important characteristic of the area is total absent of epiphytic species. Detailed Floristic Study of Vetal Hill was carried out by V. N. Joshi and M. S. Kumbhojakar of Agharkar Research Institute, Pune in 1997. They enumerated occurrence of 416 species of angiosperms belonging to 101 families, 2 pteridophytes and one Bryophyte.

Much before Joshi and Kumbhojkar's work, ecological survey of the hill was conducted by Ezekiel around 1917-1918. Joshi, Kumbhojkar and Kulkarni in their work on changing floristic pattern of Vetal hill (1992) reported absence of 30 species which were reported by Ezekiel.

The dominant plant community in the area is Boswellia serrata-Anogeissus latifolia. Other dominant members of this area are Dalbergia lanceolaria, Acacia chundra, Dolichandrone falcata, Albizzia procera, Capparis grandis. Some herbaceous and shrubby weeds which are now naturalized in the area include Tridax procumbens, Lagascea mollis, Cassia uniflora, Lantana camara. Plantation of some exotic species like Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala has been undertaken by forest department. Dalbergia melanoxylon is one interesting example for spread of exotic species. This species was planted by Britishers in Pune University area. This species was totally absent on other areas of Pune. Recently however, the species is observed to be spreading in and around the area of the Vetal Hill, and is on the verge of becoming dominant species there.

The area is important on account of the occurrence of some important endemic species. Some examples of the endemic species found here are Jatropha nana, Cissus woodrowii, Mussanda laxa, Indoneesiella echioides, etc.

Current status
During the last few years the area has been subjected to various stresses of anthropogenic activities.  Plantation of exotic species by forest department, urban development, tree cutting are few of them. Many afforestation programs have been undertaken either by Pune Municipal Corporation or by state forest Department have resulted in growth of many ornamental and exotic species. The Forest Department has also build proper fences to safeguard animals and birds especially peacocks also providing them with appropriate water supply. This has affected in some or other way on the natural vegetation of the hill.
A new road connecting Balbharati and Paud Phata is proposed so as to decrease traffic pressure in Nal Stop Chowk. The road will cut across a nearly two kilometre patch of forest on vetal hill, cutting close to ten thousand fully matured and grown trees. The proposed bypass will bring automobile pollution, noise and congestion into the heart of a green area at the foot and lower ridge of the Vetal hill. This is a catastrophic proposal and will destroy one of the last virgin green areas left in Pune.

Several citizen groups and activists have opposed the proposal. Twelve NGOs recently wrote a letter to the PMC opposing the road. A blog and an online petition was promoted to stop the construction of the road. Nagrik Chetana Manch has gone to the Mumbai high Court in a PIL and the HC has stayed the construction of the road.
Due to increased urbanization and increased population the biotic pressure in the form of cutting of trees has increased on forest of Vetal Hill.

Injuries mount after 2 buses collide in New Jersey
<p>Screenshot of Reuters video through AOL On Network. </p>
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Two commuter buses collided in New Jersey's largest city Friday morning, pushing one of the vehicles onto its side, killing one of the drivers and critically injuring seven other people, authorities said.
The person killed in the Newark crash was the driver of a New Jersey Transit bus that had no passengers when it slammed into the side of another NJ Transit bus that was carrying about 20 passengers around 6 a.m.
Mayor Ras Baraka said 19 people were injured, including seven critically.
"We're praying for all of those in the hospital," he said.
Investigators are trying to determine if the driver who died ran a red light, Baraka said.
Video from news helicopters showed the two tangled buses came to rest on a median. The bus that was struck was on its side, its frame bent and the other bus lodged in its undercarriage. Firefighters could be seen pulling passengers through a side window and loading them onto waiting stretchers and into ambulances.
The crash occurred at Raymond Boulevard and Broad Street as the bus without passengers began its route between Newark and Dunellen; the other bus was traveling between Irvington and Clifton, NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder said.
The Essex County prosecutor is investigating the crash.

BUA Group to set up 3 million Metric-ton Cement Company, 50MW Power Plant in Adamawa
The Bua Group announced that it is set to establish a three million metric tonnes cement plant and 50 megawatts power plant in Guyuk and Lamurde local governments of Adamawa State in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria.
This was revealed by the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, when he led a management team on a courtesy call to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State at the Government House, Yola.
Speaking during the visit, Abdul Samad Rabiu said preliminary findings show that the two local governments of Guyuk and Lamurde are reputed to have good quality limestone deposits and BUA Cement is ready to begin the investment in the state.
He added that BUA will use new technologies to supply power to the proposed cement plant and communities of Guyuk and Lamurde in addition to providing 3,000 direct and 5,000 indirect jobs.
The Chairman stressed that the Guyuk Cement Plant will be the major investment in the North-East by BUA and solicited for the support of Governor Fintiri to set up the factory in Guyuk.
Rabiu also said the company made a decision to source its raw materials locally and it has invested billions of dollars in various sectors across Nigeria and, therefore, urged the state government to support BUA to actualise the Guyuk cement project.

In addition, he praised the commitment of the governor to developing many sectors despite the economic challenges in Adamawa.
Responding, Governor Fintiri said his administration's effort in exploring local content has started yielding results and thanked BUA for showing interest in establishing the cement plant in Guyuk.

He further assured the management team of BUA that the government will make whatever is needed available and provide the necessary support which will create an enabling environment so that the company in Guyuk will become a reality.
He also expressed the readiness of the government to protect the investment once it is established and told them that his administration will maintain a good relationship with the company for the benefit of the state.
BUA is Nigeria's second-largest cement producer by volume, with cement plants in Sokoto and Edo states.
The company's newest plant in Sokoto is expected to be operational in 2021. When completed, the Guyuk Cement Plant will bring BUA's total capacity to 14 million metric tonnes per annum.

'Wacky, Very Stupid' British Ambassador Resigns After Anti-Trump Comments Leaked
 The "wacky, very stupid" British Ambassador to the United States Sir Kim Darroch resigned from his post after his anti-Trump comments were leaked. Sir Kim called President Trump "dysfunctional, clumsy," and "incompetent."
Prime Minister Theresa May released a statement:
 "I have spoken to Sir Kim Darroch. I told him it is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position as ambassador in Washington. The whole cabinet rightly gave its full support to Sir Kim on Tuesday. Sir Kim has given a lifetime of service to the United Kingdom and we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
Good government depends on public servants being able to give full and frank advice. I want all our public servants to have the confidence to be able to do that, and I hope the house will reflect on the importance of defending our values and principles, particularly when they are under pressure."
Trump responded to Sir Kim, writing, "The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy."
"He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled," Trump said.
The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy. He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was...
"I told @theresa_may how to do that deal, but she went her own foolish way-was unable to get it done. A disaster! I don't know the Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool," Trump added.
....and they are both only getting bigger, better and stronger.....Thank you, Mr. President!
"Tell him the USA now has the best Economy & Military anywhere in the World, by far and they are both only getting bigger, better and stronger. Thank you, Mr. President," Trump continued.


I am seeing this for the fourth time. People are enjoying the sea; people are trashing the sea. They are not aware of how their daily activities on the beach are harming the sea. People are disposing their garbage anywhere they like and throwing cigarette butts and food wrappers on the ground as if they own the land. And they do not have the slightest idea that this kind of activity may have dangerous impact on the plants and animals of our shores. This debris can also harm or kill beach organisms. Pollution also makes the beach less enjoyable for us. So why are we doing this? Instead of trashing the place we should be more careful of our activities. We are voting Cox's Bazar day and night but we are not showing any responsibility towards the place.
Seeing the condition of the beach we (Kewkradong Bangladesh) first took the initiative to keep our coasts clean. Thus the first International Coastal Cleanup 2006, Bangladesh began. International Coastal Cleanup is the world's largest volunteer activity run by an organization named The Ocean Conservancy and Kewkradong Bangladesh. We collected around 30 types of marine debris that year and decided to make it an annual event. And the following year our team began to grow and we collected more and more marine debris from the Cox's Bazar sea beach. The most commonly found derbies were plastic, cigarette butts, food and candy wrappers, beverage bottles, balloons, toys, fish nets, clothing, bags, glass etc.
Since 2006 we go to the beach every September with our volunteers and equipment and tried to collect debris and also tried to raise awareness among the people not to pollute the sea. This year's slogan was "Heal the ocean, Heal the world". The volunteers not only tried to collect and dump marine derbies but they also attempted to extend the message to the tourists and the inhabitants of the place.
This year many students from different colleges and universities like Dhaka University, NSU, BRAC, EWU, and Stamford etc joined the cause and made this event more successful. Another attraction of this year's Coastal Cleanup was the participation of the famous band Artcell and a group of students who are visually impaired. Artcell and the group of blind students joined with the volunteers and helped them to clean the beach. They also entertained the volunteers in the award ceremony, which was chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of Cox's Bazar Giasuddin, who was delighted by the effort made by Kewkradong Bangladesh. In his speech he said," this kind of volunteer activity for saving the beach can make the beach more beautiful and enjoyable". And I personally do believe, it is time for a change now; if we all act's together then we can make the worlds largest coastal area the greatest place of earth.


Battle lines are being drawn in the debate over merit pay in our schools. Under the schools-as-businesses banner we have the credo: "You do better and we'll pay you more." Those wearing union colors counter, "Pay us more and then we'll do better." Both positions carry the benefit of simplicity, but both also suffer from a significant downside: They don't work.
• Teaching involves perfecting one's art, not meeting sales quotas.
Years ago, I performed piecework at a shopping-cart-wheel factory. I quickly realized that my pay was only going to improve if I moved from totally inept to minimally effective. Merit pay worked for me because, while I certainly appreciated the value of shopping-cart wheels, money was my primary motivation. The system also worked because the checklist for pay was clear and objective: Good wheel equals pay. Bad wheel equals no pay.
But that doesn't mean that what works well on the assembly line is equally effective for those who work with our children's minds. Merit pay assumes that teachers are motivated to achieve excellence by being paid for each completed item on a checklist. That's a deeply flawed assumption. For one, money is not the primary motivation for teachers. (Otherwise, they wouldn't be teachers.) Second, that checklist doesn't exist, because great teaching isn't the stuff of checklists.
Producing great teaching is the primary motivation for great teachers. So, create environments that make successful teaching likely, not just possible, and begin by assisting our least experienced instructors. Young teachers often leave the profession because they lack support and feel overwhelmed. Apprentice these new teachers to wise mentors, those who have achieved mastery of their craft. End the widespread practice of saddling novices with the most difficult classroom assignments. We don't require recent medical school graduates to perform open heart surgery on their first patients. Why, then, do we continue to prop up seniority-based classroom scheduling, a system that robs young teachers of the opportunity to achieve excellence in manageable steps?
• Ineffective teachers should be fired.
Some people, despite significant support, simply do not possess the skills, temperament, or work ethic to successfully practice the art of teaching. Those failings do not make them bad people, but they do make them bad teachers. And, just as the general teaching population is not motivated to achieve excellence through merit pay, financial incentives via checklist completion will not transform truly inept teachers into good ones. They need to go, lest their poor performance become the measuring stick for the school as a whole and they crush the spirits of their colleagues who earnestly seek excellence.
Collective bargaining agreements do not recognize this truth. That is why, for example, some districts pay ineffective teachers to spend their days in holding pens instead of classrooms, or shuffle them from school to school. A district's unwillingness not to renew the contracts of bad teachers (either because of insufficient strength in the bargaining agreement or the will of administrators) creates "Dunder Mifflin schools" (named for the fictional company in television's "The Office"). Such schools reflect the management philosophy of Steve Carell's "Office" character, boss Michael Scott: "I just don't want my employees thinking that their jobs depend on performance." And it shows.
• A teacher's life requires sacrifices, not a sacrificed life.
Teachers deserve a compensation package that allows them to stay in teaching without significant hardship. We should, for example, formulate salary scales based on local cost of living, not state or national data.
Make the temporary tax credit for new home buyers a negotiated contract benefit to help teachers obtain affordable housing. Generously match teacher contributions to retirement accounts, and pass legislation that would allow teachers to make tax-deferred contributions to their children's college funds.
Teachers know that they won't get rich teaching. We could at least remove the financial disincentives that compel them to leave the work they love.
Display those words in faculty rooms throughout the country, and treat our best teachers accordingly. Stimulate the intellect of teachers through meaningful professional development, instead of reducing their lives to quiet desperation through endless meetings. Stop requiring that they teach to standardized tests as a poor substitute for real learning. Fairly compensate (through release time and stipends) those master teachers whose wisdom and example inspire our next generation of teachers to achieve excellence. Recognize that poor-performing schools are never going to get better unless the best teachers teach in them; elevate assignments in those schools to symbols of the highest professional achievement.
Most importantly, treat teachers with dignity. When a school has questions about improving student learning, start by asking the teachers in that building what they think. Our best teachers have always had the best answers.
In sum, merit pay is gimmickry that just doesn't work. And the self-serving position of some teachers' unions—just show us the money—bears equally bad fruit. There is no one solution, a magic potion, that cures all. But we could teach our kids better, one school at a time, by adopting straightforward measures that strengthen and reward all teachers. But this will only happen if we are willing to abandon deeply entrenched battle lines and meet on common ground.

Layers of Injustice
Patricia Geist-Martin, San Diego State UniversityFollow
In the end, this is a VERY powerful story. I sat for moments (even hours) after reading the final page, reflecting back over the story and how it could have gone differently — not the story as it was told, but the events that transpired. The injustice it represents is there in all of our lives in some way or another and yet for most of us, that injustice is not a life or death situation. But what really caught a tear in my throat in the last page was the return to the character we met in the first sentence — the juror that "sobbed uncontrollably". And in the end, that same character — Amy — visited death row, decided to go to law school, and sends all of her grades to the man on trial, Leven, who she helped send to death row.

Teaching myself Avid this weekend, threw together this In Memoriam montage for Breaking Bad. Contains spoilers up to and including the Season 5 Midseason Finale.
Bleccch, of course morning after I notice spelling mistakes. Feel free to take a look but don't share or post yet, will get a corrected version up soonish.
Link is fixed to updated version, share away if you like! Thanks Jessamyn!
Ha everyone loves the fly. Even when I was considering pulling all the nameless guards and gunmen, the fly stayed put.
I definitely wanted to comment just so I could say I loved the inclusion of the fly, haha (saw your link in the latest BB thread on the blue (heh blue)). But also very nicely edited and a fitting soundtrack. Which reminds me, BB's soundtrack is just so good, I don't think there's another show out there that even comes close to its quality and originality.
Thanks! The score is outstanding, composer Dave Porter just released a score soundtrack. It was tough to pick a track, although the sheer number of deaths meant that I was limited to longer cuts.
Are you planning to do an updated version in a year after the show is finished? Though maybe Breaking Bad will shock everyone once again by not killing anyone during the last 8 episodes, heh.
Definitely going to revisit then, I'm sure there will be a few more and I definitely have some things to fix up. Some of the titles are a little wonky, and some have raised issues with the inclusion of Jane's father as it is never explicitly stated he has died. I also missed the two guys in the superlab when it is burned down. I had them in but at some point thought of pulling all anonymous gunmen and guards and such to get the length down so I took them out. Then I decided that I really wanted everyone in there, damn the length, but I forgot to add them back.
I don't know what was misspelled before, but the linked video's title card still reads "In Memorium".
That pedantic point aside, great supercut! It's great to be reminded of all these folks (Combo!) who have fallen along the way during Walt's transformation.
Agreed that Jane's dad should probably be left out.

Q: Call a REST-based service synchronous with jQuery I'm used to making AJAX calls, but since those are executed asynchronously, further in my code I'm unsure whether that call has already been completed. So in the codesample below, when I call alert(url), it might be that the lat and lng variables have not been filled yet.
So instead of making an AJAX call, I want my code to wait for the results before continuing, so a synchronous request.
How can I do so?
 var url='';

 if ($('select[name="countryselect"]').val() != '0') { url += '&country=' + $('#countryselect option:selected').text(); }

if ($('#<%=tbCity.ClientID%>').val() != '') {
             url += '&distance=' + $('#<%=ddlDistance.ClientID%>').val();

             $.ajax({
                 type: "GET",
                 url: "/service.svc/getlocs/?cid=" + countryid
                    + "&c=" + $('#<%=tbCity.ClientID%>').val(),
                 data: "",
                 contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                 dataType: "json",
                 success: function (msg) {
                     url += '&lat=' + msg[0].value;
                     url += '&lng=' + msg[1].value;
                 }
             });

         }

alert(url);

A: You can still use ajax, but move everything that needs to happen after into your success handler:
         $.ajax({
             type: "GET",
             url: "/service.svc/getlocs/?cid=" + countryid
                + "&c=" + $('#<%=tbCity.ClientID%>').val(),
             data: "",
             contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
             dataType: "json",
             success: function (msg) {
                 url += '&lat=' + msg[0].value;
                 url += '&lng=' + msg[1].value;
                 alert(url);
                 // more work here
             }
         });

A:
So in the codesample below, when I call alert(url), it might be that the lat and lng variables have not been filled yet.

It will definitely not have been filled in. The request is done asynchronously, it has not even started at that time. It needs to wait for its "turn".
What you should be doing is put all the code that needs to run after the request in the "success" callback of the Ajax request.

So instead of making an AJAX call, I want my code to wait for the results before continuing, so a synchronous request.

I don't know if synchronous requests are even possible on modern browsers anymore, but even if, they are a terrible idea, because it would be not just your code waiting, but the whole page execution would freeze. No timers updating, the user cannot click anywhere else, etc.
You need to learn to work with callbacks.

While You Were Napping
by Jenny Offill, Barry BlittJenny Offill
NOOK Book(NOOK Kids)
In this hilarious read-aloud featuring robots, fire trucks, and pirates, meet an older sister who's more than happy to fill her little brother in on all he missed while he was napping. Since none of the other neighborhood kids had to nap, they came over. Then came the robots, and of course the astronauts. It was tons of fun . . . and luckily for the boy (right?!), he slept through it all!
Here's a picture book that is sure to ring true in every family with more than one child. With minimal text and raucous illustrations, this laugh-out-loud, spot-on picture book is also a perfect portrait of a mischievous kid at her imaginative best.

Jenny Offill is the author of 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore, a Parenting Magazine Best Book of the Year and a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, and 11 Experiments That Failed, also a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, which Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, called "the most joyful and clever whimsy."
Barry Blitt's illustrations frequently appear on the cover of the New Yorker and have also graced the pages of Vanity Fair, the New York Times, Child magazine, and Entertainment Weekly. He is the illustrator of the children's books George Washington's Birthday: A Mostly True Tale by Margaret McNamara, The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn by Robert Burleigh, and Once Upon a Time, The End (Asleep in 60 Seconds) by Geoffrey Kloske.
PreS-K—An older sister tells her brother about all the crazy things that she and the neighborhood kids supposedly did while he was taking a nap. Apparently inspired by the toys scattered in the boy's bedroom, she spins an outrageous tale of how they dug up yards with bulldozers, found a dinosaur skeleton, ate junk food brought by robots, set off fireworks, played with pirates and astronauts, and generally ran amok. This yarn is illustrated with Blitt's scrawly ink-and-pen watercolor pictures on full spreads and features a cast of oddly shaped children engaged in their various bizarre activities. Although the peculiar string of events may amuse some children, the story seems to lack focus and does not have much of a plot. An additional purchase.—Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT
The combination of Offill and Blitt—two brilliantly astringent, deadpan sensibilities—makes While You Were Napping a rare, mischievous treat that may make grown-ups laugh hardest.
The New York Times Book Review - Maria Russo
★ 08/04/2014
A mother promises her remonstrating, wriggling son that he "won't miss a thing" while he's napping. But if his older sister is to be believed, the Best Party Ever took place right outside his window. "COMING SOON! BIG FUN! STAY AWAKE!" announces a skywriter, followed by robots, pirates, firemen, the uncovering of a dinosaur skeleton, and an apparent daylong moratorium on "Don'ts," which meant kids could drive bulldozers, throw mud, drink ketchup, race in their underpants, and shoot off fireworks. "We all took pictures to prove to you how dangerous it was since you were the only kid napping when it happened," writes Offill (Sparky), whose channeling of sibling snark is a thing of beauty. Blitt (George Washington's Birthday: A Mostly True Tale) mischievously and masterfully choreographs the neverending festivities, which teeter between backyard reality and thwarted, dreamy desire. His watercolors will reward close-reading visual joke connoisseurs, as well as those who can't wait to find out what that poor kid (he could be any of us, really) misses out on next. Ages 4–8. Author's agent: Sally Wofford-Girand, Union Literary. (Sept.)
[Offill's] channeling of sibling snark is a thing of beauty. Blitt mischievously and masterfully choreographs the neverending festivities […] His watercolors will reward close-reading visual joke connoisseurs." — Publishers Weekly starred review
"The brazen over-the-topness leavens the taunting with pure ridiculousness, but there's still enough bite to make this absolutely hilarious, especially to older sibs." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books starred review
"Offill must've had some sibling rivalry as a child, because she knows just how to dole out exquisite torture with an insidious, offhand tone. Blitt makes for the perfect coconspirator, contrasting the kids' almost-maniacal partying with the napping child's big-headed, about-to-blubber innocence. Simply brutal! And quite funny." - Booklist
A wickedly naughty big sister recounts all the fun her brother misses while he's napping. The text's focus isn't on sibling rivalry, but this dynamic is unquestionably its seed. Kicked out of the nest by little brothers and sisters, elder children exact revenge in devious ways—who can forget Lilly's cribside antics in Kevin Henkes' Julius, the Baby of the World? In that title, Lilly is reformed and comes to love and protect her baby brother; no such resolution emerges in Offill's mischievous hands. The entire book is made up of the sister's descriptions of all the fun that she and the neighborhood children had while little brother was napping, and she regales (tortures?) him with tales of pirates, robots, bulldozers, dinosaur bones, french-fry sandwiches, fireworks and firefighters. Sparing not one grain of salt in the wound, wry text reads, "you were the only kid napping / when it happened." The appearance of astronauts ends the naptime orgy of exclusive fun. "Luckily, you slept right through it" is the concluding line, and it's accompanied by a picture depicting the boy scowling in bed and the sister perching at its foot. Toys and decorations bespeaking the boy's interest in all of the things she's described fill the bedroom, and it's a shame that earlier illustrations didn't include more of this real-world context. Beware the power of older siblings! (Picture book. 5-8)

John Hicks' multi-homer game helps Rangers snap 13-game losing streak in Seattle
Texas had not won a game in T-Mobile Park since July 23, 2019.
By Doug Drowley
1:11 AM on Jul 4, 2021 CDT
SEATTLE – The guy with Seattle ties put an exclamation point on his first week back in the Major Leagues in two years.
John Hicks belted home runs in his first two at-bats, leading off the second and third innings, and the Rangers ended their own two-year run of futility in Seattle with a 7-3 victory over the Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Saturday.
Texas had lost 13 consecutive games here dating back to July 23, 2019.
"I did not know that, nor do I think anyone else in this clubhouse knew that," said Jordan Lyles, who started and won his fourth game of the season. "It's just another game, just another win. We're going to come tomorrow and try to steal a series."
Hicks also had last played in the big leagues that same year with the Detroit Tigers prior to Wednesday's call-up.
The Rangers scored seven times and hit three home runs in the first four innings to chase Seattle starter Marco Gonzales after just 3 1/3 innings. And it was the bottom of the Rangers order that did Gonzales in.
Hicks, who made his Major League debut as a Mariner in 2015 and was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, got the Rangers started in the third out of the eight-hole in the order. He hit a Gonzales pitch over the wall in left field to stake the Rangers to a quick 1-0 lead.
No. 9 hitter Charlie Culbertson followed with a single. That sent things back to the top, where Isiah Kiner-Falefa walked. Eli White followed with a line-drive homer to left and Texas owned a quick 4-0 lead.
Culbertson would end up on base three times, adding a single and a deep shot off right-fielder Mitch Haniger's glove at the wall that was ruled a three-base error. He scored two runs.
"I love it when guys like Eli and John Hicks come through," Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. "And it doesn't always have to be the main guys. For John to come up here and have the impact he has. It's awesome."
Those four runs were all Lyles and the Rangers bullpen would need. But the Texas offense added three more in the fourth, anyway.
After sending nine men to the plate in the third, Hicks started the rally again. The Rangers catcher tagged Gonzales again, just inside the left field foul pole, for his second career two-homer game. Hicks first accomplished the feat on September 5, 2017, as a Tiger against the Kansas City Royals.
In his second game action since joining the roster after starter Jose Trevino suffered a forearm contusion and went to the I.L., Hicks now has hit three home runs. He went 2-for-4 with a homer in an 8-3 victory at Oakland on Thursday.
Hicks has enjoyed hitting against Seattle much more than he did for the team.
In his 32 games as a Mariner, he batted just .063. Since then, though, he's played 20 games against Seattle and hit seven home runs, more than against any other opponent.
"It's always a great feeling hitting home runs against the team that drafted you, that you made your debut with," Hicks said. "It's motivation. But I wouldn't say it's the only thing. I've been fortunate not to miss a few."
Coming into Saturday's contest Hicks was 23-for-68 (.338) against his first big league team. After his 2-for-4 on Saturday, Hicks sits at 25-for-72 (.347). He's batting a robust .500 (4-for-8) in his return to the big leagues this week.
"There are a lot of emotions," Hicks said. "I feel great at the plate right now. It's great to help the team win."
He just added to that success on Saturday – and in the process helped the Rangers end the longest current road losing streak against a single opponent in the Major Leagues. The last longer such streak was 14 games by Atlanta at Washington spanning parts of the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
Lyles went six innings to earn his fourth win of the season (4-5), giving up just two runs. Dennis Santana, who was just called up from Triple-A, made his Rangers debut and pitched a perfect seventh.

Suspending Choice: The Patrick Melrose Series – Review
December 31, 2018 December 13, 2021 Binoy Kampmark 0 Comments
By Binoy Kampmark
Ashes, even when washed way, can haunt the living. A cracked Patrick Melrose has come to retrieve the cremated remains of this late father. He is addicted, indulgent, outrageous. He drinks and doses to excess; his moments of brief sobriety are nothing more than painful interludes in poor living and self-inflicted disgrace. Painful lucidity is tampered with; the moments he is aware are chocked with horrendous memories. They are those of his father, the sinister overtures from a man sitting on a bed calling to his reluctant son; the son, hidden in a bathroom, desperate, sheltering and threatened. Then, the mother, waking him up to say that she will be away for a time. Life, on a precipice.
The screen adaption by David Nicholls is based on Edward St Aubyn's own alter-ego, a five book exploration that acts as cathartic confession and analytical enunciation. This sort of life, he suggests, might kill you, but there are avenues of salvation, destructive as they seemingly are. You just have to work through them.
St Aubyn was born to a despotic, abusive father of Cornish landed background and an American heiress prone to drink. From five to eight, a period of horrendous cruelties were inflicted. These left St Aubyn lucid rather than repressed, a point he makes to the Radio Times. "I never had any trouble remembering what were the most outstandingly violent and life threatening events in my childhood. Why would you?"
Heroin came into his life, and as a school boy at Westminster, he had ceased being an amateur. Full addiction came its way. To take heroin suspended choices, an effective purgatory. To become an addict did not kill volition, as might be the logical conclusion; nor did it suggest its affirmation. "It was the perfect halfway house between living and suicide. It enabled me not to make either choice."
Heroin remained a close companion to university (he read English at Oxford), even to the point of following him to the exams. His addiction and dissolution was financed by a sizeable fortune from his inheritance, the legacy of having a wealthy grandmother.
The scenes punch the audience from the opening of Nicholl's adaption. There is a deft manipulation of the book sequence: start with the damaged man in Bad News; work your way through the rationale in Never Mind, which shows the father in demonic flow, tyrannising son and wife. The party guests are rendered complicit and helpless: before their eyes is cruelty left unaccounted for, a trauma nourished and assured of its durability. This is where the true sense of Philip Larkin's reminder in "This Be the Verse" finds uncontested form.
Patrick, rendered rather masterfully by Benedict Cumberbatch, is twenty-five, far from lucid and on his way to New York to claim the remains of his father, played in icy fashion by Hugo Weaving. In between the haze of flaying drugs and drenching booze, he is found vertical, in a bath, on the floor, in various states of addled torment. There are extravagant seizures, howling, ingesting. The scenes are filmed with a rich, discomfortingly curious eye. His tortured state is total.
The childhood scenes drag the viewer back to a state of permanent recall – for Patrick M, that past – a mother who placed him in harm's way; a father who carried out such harm – is permanent currency. But Patrick's social circle is also coloured with rich displays of addiction and attempted recovery. Some Hope does much to show a society party in total decay, museum pieces in need of good dusting. Patrick is always reminded that one does not go to such parties to enjoy them.
Mother's Milk features Patrick as father and husband, with two boys he adores. But he does so from the vantage point of total misery, and any effort to restore some semblance of calm is thrown out on learning that his mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) has disinherited his family: the family château in Provence is to be bequeathed to a group of new-age followers.
The tale of Patrick Melrose and his plight, not to mention the torment that links him to his mother and father, is one of terrible decisions, crippled choices and missteps. It is a life of perennially toxic legacies, of sins that run in the blood line. Even if there is a strong case to be made about the role of free will, this adaptation suggests, on the contrary, how utterly hollow invoking such an idea is. While there are moments of striking poignancy, notably in At Last – Patrick the boy of suffering finally taking a stand against his pederastic father; Patrick, the man sobbing at his mother's funeral – these are few. Suspending choice might, at points, be the only way.
