Warming to the theme
The nominations for January's Golden Globes were announced this week and amid the recognition of celluloid excellence are the shoehorned-in categories of best soundtrack and best song. They are, though, awards with the capacity to occasionally elevate obscure musicians' work whose background tune might just be the reason you made it all the way to the credits. Obligatory and deserved soundtrack nods for this year's Globes have gone to Italian maestro Ennio Morricone and Tokyo's Ryuichi Sakamoto. But the list for best song is a predictable race to the syrupy bottom with US rapper Whiz Khalifa and British pop singer Ellie Goulding figuring highly. A glaring omission from both lists is Paul Thomas Anderson's beautiful documentary Junun in which Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur and Indian ensemble The Rajasthan Express escaped to the Mehrangarh Fort in India to rediscover the simple pleasure of gathering unusual musicians in one room together.

Shooting Andy Warhol
The late pop artist's persona lives on in a new exhibition at gallery Maison Gerard in Manhattan, which showcases a time capsule of the arch provocateur's habits with Two Days in the Life of Andy Warhol. The shots were taken by former New York Times snapper and fine-art photographer Robert Levin, while on assignment for German magazine Stern in 1981. The 15 striking images, chosen from 11 rolls of black-and-white Kodak Tri-x film, convey a staged feeling. "What was so compelling was the theatre around the exercise," says curator Jim Hedges. "He moved the photographer through these aspects of his life with a very specific agenda."
Towering reputations
Terminals normally get the glory when it comes to airport design but the new Istanbul Grand Airport is putting its air-traffic control tower in the spotlight. Six designs have been shortlisted for the 95-metre-high building, including plans by Zaha Hadid, Massimiliano Fuksas and Moshe Safdie, all referencing symbols of Turkey. Safdie's proposal recalls geographic patterns in the Turkish design vernacular, while Fuksas offers a modern interpretation of a minaret design. Planned for completion in 2017, the airport is expected to become the third largest in the world with up to 150 million passengers passing through. That's quite some traffic to oversee.

Palace peer
There seem to be about as many film festivals as there are cities but few are held in such regal surroundings as In The Palace, Bulgaria's international celebration of the short film. Now in its 13th year, the event is moving from the Balchik Palace in the country's south to the capital's National Palace of Culture. Until 13 December, visitors can catch shorts (strictly 27 minutes or less in length) from emerging and established creatives from Bulgaria and the rest of the world. For a taste of Bulgarian cinema don't miss Mom's Calling by film-maker Deyan Bararev, about a brother's quest to find his missing sibling. Bararev won the prize for the best Bulgarian fiction work at the festival in 2013.
Sushi sensation
A new international competition, the Global Sushi Challenge, seeks out the world's best sushi chef. After a number of regional competitions, 14 finalists met in Tokyo to be challenged in the art of sushi making. We find out if the Japanese can be beaten on their home turf.
A Bohemian toy story
The Czech Republic has a rich toy-making history that dedicated collectors and craftsmen are committed to keeping alive. From the atelier to the Christmas market, Monocle films discovers an inspiring toy story where art meets craft.


The Nashville Public Education Foundation and Mayor Megan Barry announced today the members of the 2017 – 2018 Teacher Cabinet. The Teacher Cabinet, which was formed in 2016, gives Metro Nashville Public Schools' teachers the opportunity to weigh in on important issues and education initiatives with policymakers at the district, city and state level.
The members of the Teacher Cabinet represent diverse backgrounds and teaching experiences, including those at the elementary, middle and high school levels, and teachers from zoned, magnet and charter schools.
The cabinet will meet several times each year, with regular conversations and guidance via email. Last year's inaugural Teacher Cabinet will continue to be engaged as an alumni group with the goal of growing a strong group of teacher leaders who can weigh in and provide front-line educator insights to local leaders working to strengthen and improve Nashville's public schools.


Many of our students have commented on how similar these are to our core values at Light Hall. We look forward to welcoming Dan back to school next term, when he will be working with many of our year 7 and 8 students on a variety of activities to enhance these workplace skills.
I have been particularly pleased to congratulate a number of students this week who have been to sign the Golden Book. Very well done to Jack L, Matthew J, Tom H and Jamie W for their excellent work in maths recently, Max M for his work in history and Keanna H for her outstanding art work.


If Monday and Tuesday's weather taught us anything, it's that looks can be deceiving.
The first major snowfall of the winter has proved to be a tough one for the road crews of the Carter County Highway Department.
What turned out to be a record snowfall in Tri-Cities weather history will soon just be a memory as the temperature rose Monday to melt much of the snow that covered area roads.
BrightRidge officials said as many as 480 customers were without power Monday following a new round of early morning snow showers. Tim Whaley, BrightRidge's public and governmental relations director, said the utility has seen power outages "fluctuate" in its service area since Sunday. He said most were reported in the northern part of Washington County.
After the snow started falling Saturday night, it continued on and off until Monday morning. Here are some shots of some areas of Johnson City, as well as workers working to clear the snow, Dec. 10, 2018.
Sunday's heavy snowstorm took down trees and limbs around Northeast Tennessee. Eric McAmis sent us several photos from his lake house in the Oak Grove area, along with some scenic shots at Boone Lake.
Our readers enjoyed Sunday's big snow so much, they kept sending photos.
A lot of work and resources go into preparing for a potential snow storm, according to local and state officials.
PHOTO GALLERY: Senior Reporter Becky Campbell captured some of the snowy scenes around Johnson City and Jonesborough.
ETSU photographer Ron Campbell roamed the campus Friday to find some scenic views of the season's first snowfall.

Q: MYSQL comparing time and day of week simultaneously I have the following table in MYSQL database.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_my_default_settings` (

I have a time specified as Fri 7:16 AM
I want to formulate a query selecting that row which has 'Fri 7:16' BETWEEN CONCAT( CONCAT( whichday, ' ' ) , start_time ) AND CONCAT( CONCAT( tillday, ' ' ) , end_time )
 My query is
   SELECT `ds_id` , `whichday` , `start_time` , `tillday` ,
`end_time` , STR_TO_DATE( CONCAT( CONCAT( whichday, ' ' ) , start_time ) , '%a %h:%i %p' ) AS 'Start',
    STR_TO_DATE( CONCAT( CONCAT( tillday, ' ' ) , end_time ) , '%a %h:%i %p' ) AS 'End',
    STR_TO_DATE( 'Fri 07:16 AM', '%a %h:%i %p' ) AS 'Current'
    FROM `wp_my_default_settings`
    WHERE `user_id` = '11'
    AND (

        BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE( CONCAT( CONCAT( whichday, ' ' ) , start_time ) , '%a %h:%i %p' )

    )
    AND `max_no_msg` >= (
    SELECT COUNT( `offer_id` )
    FROM `wp_user_offers_by_adv`
    WHERE `offer_user_id` = '11' )

Instead of getting row with ds_id=10 I get rows with ds_id 8 and 9
Please help

A: The problem is, that STR_TO_DATE( 'Fri 07:16 AM', '%a %h:%i %p' ) results in 0000-00-00 07:16:00 and this happens to all your "dates". This means you loose the day-of-the-week information.
You can fix this by replacing the day of the week by a date. E.g.
You can use 2015-06-01 as Monday and 2015-06-07 as Sunday.
But there are a lot to improve in the whole table structure.

*

*Store the times in a TIME field.
This saves you about 6 bytes (or 66%) per field and can make queries easier.

*Store the day-of-the-week as a number (1 to 7) in a TINYINT field.
This saves you about 3 bytes (or 75%) and enables you to make the query like this:
... WHERE (whichday < input_day
            OR whichday = input_day AND start_time <= input_time))
          AND
          (tillday > input_day
            OR tillday = input_day AND end_time >= input_time)))

No more need for CONCAT and STR_TO_DATE which means you can use indexes better.

*Alternative to the first two point you can store the day and the time in a DATETIME field, using a date, that has the right day-of-the-week. If you put all your dates in the same week (e.g. the week from 2015-06-01 to 2015-06-07) you can make queries just like
... WHERE input_date BETWEEN start_datetime AND end_datetime

The last Skills Café of September was all about making a merry noise (and having a bit of a dance, too). Nela had invited her friend Colin to bring his keyboard along and he treated us all to a morning of Reggae music and lots of other genres. Singing, drumming and other percussion instruments filled the whole of Castle Lodge with good vibrations and sweet music. Sylvie even entertained with a spot of dancing. Lots of joy was on the menu at the café that day!

Supercell recently revealed their newest and upcoming mobile game called "Brawl Stars" that will be available on iOS and Android.
Supercell is the developer of some of the most popular mobile apps such as "Clash of Clans" and "Clash Royale." Just recently, they announced the launch of "Brawl Stars" through a sub-thread on Reddit.
In the said announcement, the developers hinted at a combination of several mobile gaming genres incorporated in "Brawl Stars." Supercell said: "Unlock a variety of rowdy game modes and dozens of rough and tumble characters with punishing SUPER abilities. Shoot 'em up, blow 'em up, punch 'em out and win the fight in four different game modes."
It is important to note, though, that a beta version of the game was released as part of a soft launch of "Brawl Stars" and it is only available in Canada as of the moment.
The four main game modes of "Brawl Stars" include Bounty, Smash & Grab, Heist, and Showdown.
Bounty is a team game mode where the main goal is to eliminate enemies so players can gain stars. The team with the highest number of stars per round is named the winner.
Meanwhile, in Smash & Grab, the main item to collect are crystals. Players can still lose a crystal that has already been acquired so it is a challenge to keep the opponents from taking them away. The first team to maintain 10 crystals wins.
The Heist mode practically has two goals - to protect the team's vault and to crack open the one held by the opposing team. In a few minutes, both teams have the chance to steal their enemies' safe.
Lastly, in Showdown — which Supercell described as "the rowdiest rumble" — the idea is as simple as "the last man standing" wins. However, the difficulty lies within the fact that the arena in this game mode is shrinking.
Meanwhile, reports added that there will be at least nine Brawlers in the game. More characters will be unlocked as the players progress and each Brawler has a specific skill or ability.
Supercell has yet to announce if there are any plans to launch the beta version of the game in other regions, as well as when can players expect the final version release.

Rewardify's mobile games offer cash sweepstakes prizes
Rewardify is bringing the age-old enticements of cash sweepstakes to mobile games. The company is offering prizes of $5 to $10 for players who are the first 25 competitors to collect trophies in its games.
The Seattle company offers an alternative way to monetize free-to-play games and encourage community activity in titles where it's hard to get people to come back in an ultra-competitive market. The business represents a novel way to apply an old business model to a new form of entertainment. And it's giving out thousands of dollars a day to players.
So far, the company's games on iOS and Android include match-3 puzzle games Match to Win and Lucky Match, as well as Words to Win. Advertising revenue supports the game, and players don't have to dig deep into their pockets in order to keep on playing a game that they enjoy.
The company is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Deb Smith of San Diego, California and Michael Marr in Seattle. The real-money sweepstakes reward complies with state laws because, unlike gambling (which requires a license), there is no money wagered by the players, Marr said in an interview with GamesBeat. Entry to the games is free. While the games may require skill or have random results, players can win real money that they can cash out.
Marr, the chief operating officer, said that the company wants to be the most trusted real money app in the free-to-play game market. The hope is to instill confidence in players that they can trust Rewardify and its Cash Dash to pay out money when called for.
Above: Match to Win is a sweepstakes-based match-3 mobile game.
"There are bad actors in this space and we are trying to be the trusted company here," said Dan Brosseau, head of user acquisition, in an interview with GamesBeat. "We're seeing phenomenal results."
Every day at 9 a.m. Pacific and 4 p.m., players enter a sweepstakes to be among the first 25 competitors to collect a certain amount of in-game trophies, resulting in prizes ranging from $5 to $10. The hope is that players will continue to make progress in a game and come back to it, enticed by the rewards.
Players that typically enjoy cash sweepstakes apps, are usually well versed in the traditional features such as scratch-off tickets and prize wheels that this genre is known for. Smith previously launched online travel company NetTrav, while Marr worked at companies such as Glu on titles such as Deer Hunter 2014 and Dino Hunter.
After leaving Glu, Marr said he realized you have to have a unique value proposition to make any kind of dent in the mobile game market, which is in a consolidation phase with high costs for user acquisition. He met Smith through friends and saw the value of bringing rewards to the gaming space.
In 2017, they formed a startup focused in the travel business for a while. Then they created a match-3 game, Jet Set Gold. During 2020, the company rebranded it as Match to Win and added the sweepstakes features with cash rewards. During 2020, the company had more than 2.5 million downloads, and it has 200,000 ratings with an average rating of 4.4 stars out of 5.
"The model works really well," Marr said.
Above: Rewardify's Cash Dash hands out $5 to $10 rewards to players.
The games target women who are 35 years old or older, said Brosseau.
Those women might normally turn to social occasion games or casual apps. Since the prizes are small, state laws do not require the company to post a bond for the money, removing a barrier for the games. Rewardify confirms whether it's legal for players to participate in a sweepstakes in their states. Rivals include Lucktastic in scratch-off sweepstakes games. Rewardify doesn't have any in-app purchases such as loot boxes, which have become controversial as some say it can be an addictive form of gambling.
"Our product is entirely based on ad monetization," Marr said. "It just eliminates any discussion around that regulatory concern."
The company has six employees. Brosseau said the company is planning contingencies for acquiring players in light of Apple's changes in opt-in rules for the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). That will make it harder to target ads at people in favor of privacy. While Brosseau is going after social casino game players, he thinks the change won't be too disruptive to the company's growth.
"We're ready for whatever Apple initiates here," he said.
Above: Rewardify saw 2.5 million downloads in 2020.
"You know, you heard Mike now it's all set up. But we are truly paying users, we're not here to, to gimmick you on a clickbait ad, and you'll never see $1 there's various ways that a user can play our titles and win money. And we are seeing that, you know, again, 1000s of dollars a day are being given away to our players. And that's the message. That's the story. That's the momentum that we're trying to piggyback off of, because, again, for every, you know, one app that we have that the real money app, there's dozens, if not hundreds of bad actors coming on the stores that we have to compete against, and have to separate ourselves from."
In 2020, the company will expand its portfolio of games.
Rewardify has no plans to raise money at the moment, but it may look for strategic partners, Marr said.
"We're seeing some really good growth," Marr said. "We've found a happy medium between high-user acquisition games and hypercasual games."

Mathematical Prediction of Sixth Mass Extinction
Contemporary Science Issues and Innovations
July 16, 2019, Belmont Media Center, Belmont MA
Daniel Rothman, Ph.D., Professor of Geophysics and Co-director of the Lorenz Center, MIT.
Professor Rothman's mathematical model of the very complex relationship between past mass extinctions and Earth's carbon cycles reveal a distinct pattern. That pattern indicates that the disproportionate accumulation of CO2 is leading us to a sixth mass extinction. In this discussion he explains how mathematical modeling clarifies the intricate dynamics of our planet's carbon cycles and geophysical components. His model shows the relationship between ancient mass extinctions and the likely sixth extinction of the future. While the ancient cycle disruptions and consnt extinctions were due to natural causes, our developing situation is due to human activity.
Dr. Rothman is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Geophysical Union. He is also the recipient of the 2016 Levi L. Conant Prize from the American Mathematical Society.

Do it well and you'll come out way ahead of where you would have in a traditional pension plan. Do it poorly, and it will be a long, cold retirement. Unfortunately, you can't sue the pension plan manager for mismanagement, so take a few minutes to learn at least the basics. It really isn't very hard (believe it or not).
Interested in learning how to invest in individual stocks? A SmallIvy must-read is JD Spooner's Do You Want To Make Money Or Would You Rather Fool Around?
Look through your 401k investment options and look for a target date retirement fund. These will normally include words like "target" in the name and have a year in their title. For example, the Vanguard Target Retirement 2020 fund is one of these funds.
Find a fund with a date near your retirement age. For example, if you're 20 today, pick one 50 years into the future, so either a 2070 fund or a 2065 fund.
Direct all of your investments into this fund.
Go off and have a cold beverage of your choice. You're done.
Look at your statements maybe every five years or so.
Why this works: A target-date fund automatically shifts investments as you age, going from more aggressive investments when you're young to more conservative investments when you're older. Theoretically, the fund managers should just take care of everything for you, which is why they're called one-decision funds.
Why you can do better: Unfortunately, one-decision funds are not always set up optimally. (Notice that I didn't say they were set up "wrong." I said, "not optimally.") Investing in one is far better than putting your money in the money market fund where it will lose money each year if you include inflation in your calculations, but you will not get the returns you will get by allocating the funds optimally on your own. These funds also vary in their investment allocations by fund company, with some being too conservative and some being too aggressive.
Figure out your allocation between growth investments and income investments. Do this by setting your income allocation equal to your age minus ten, and your growth allocation equal to 110 minus your age. For example, if you're 25, your income allocation would be 25-10 = 15% and your growth allocation would be 110 – 25 = 85%.
Invest your income allocation in a bond fund that covers as much of the market as possible. For example, the Vanguard Total Bond Market Fund, which invests in bonds that come due over a variety of time periods, would be appropriate. If you were 25, you would set up your 401k to put 15% of your contributions into the bond fund.
Invest the rest in a broad market stock fund. For example, the Vanguard Total Stock Market Fund, which invests in all kinds of different companies, would be appropriate. A twenty-five-year-old would put 85% in the stock fund.
Go off and have your favorite frosty beverage.
Look at your statements every five years to see how you're doing. Adjust your holdings as needed as you age to keep your age minus 10 in bonds and 110 minus your age in stocks. For example, at age 30 you would have 20% in the bond fund and 80% in the stock fund. You would need to both move money between funds and change how new investments are invested. Many mutual funds have online tools to do this in a couple of clicks.
When you invest in stocks, you make money when the company grows and eventually pays a dividend. Because you're depending on the growth of the company, returns are more sporadic than they are with things like a bank account that pays a predictable interest rate. When companies do grow, however, the rate of return is much higher than it is with interest-bearing assets (because you're taking on more risk). Over long periods of time, if you invest in a lot of different stocks, you'll get market returns which have averaged between 10 and 15% over the last 100 years when assets are held for long periods of time (like 25 years). As you get closer to retirement, you shift to interest-bearing assets like bonds and real estate that have a more predictable return, which helps reduce the severity of declines, but which return less. You therefore start out mostly in stocks when you're young and can afford to go through a big market decline since you can wait for good times to return (plus, you have little money invested), and then shift to bonds when you get older to reduce the volatility (how much your portfolio value goes up and down) since you need more security at that point in your life.
Only looking at your portfolio every five years and adjusting your investments will mean that your allocations may get a little skewed until you finally adjust how the money is invested. For example, if stocks do really well but bonds lag, you may end up invested in a larger proportion of stocks than you should be, which means you'll get hit harder during a stock market decline than you would be if you had the right amount of bonds.
Rebalancing, which is what you're doing when you adjust the amounts invested in stocks and bonds in step 5 of the Simple Method, should really be done about once per year, but no more often than twice a year. To improve your returns a little more with the simple method, instead of looking at your portfolio only every five years and rebalancing, rebalance once per year. Keep in mind while it is very unlikely that you'll see a decline in your portfolio over a five-year period, you may very well see one over one year. Just realize you're able to buy more shares with the money you have when prices go down and stay the course.
By rebalancing once per year, you automatically sell what did well during the last year and buy what did poorly. This means you're taking profits when things go up and are likely relatively expensive (and therefore may decline in price or just not go up as fast during the next year), and buy things when they've gone down in price and are on sale. You only want to rebalance once a year or so since doing so too often will mean you may sell at the beginning of a big rally. Stocks and bonds tend to have what is called momentum, meaning that when they are going up, they tend to keep going up for a while and vice-versa. Rebalancing too often will mean you'll miss this momentum.
Investing in the whole US market in stocks and bonds is good, but adding other kinds of assets can improve your returns even more. In addition, by skewing your investments towards other asset types, like small stocks which have more room-to-grow than big companies, you can get a little better return.
In the next post, we'll go into some ways to get that little bit extra out of your 401k portfolio if you're willing to just do a little more.

#WineWednesday is one of my favorite blog posts.
My husband and I review a bottle of wine, that we've bought, solely on the uniqueness, strangeness or coolness of the label - and nothing else.
This month's bottle may help you celebrate St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
I have to give my husband full credit for this bottle. He found it in a liquor store in Saratoga, NY and it's by far our best bottle yet. It's from Coppola Family Wines - yes that Coppola Family - and we've been lucky enough to visit their beautiful vineyard in California. One of the best parts is when you walk into the main house there is a long, sweeping, Gone With The Wind type, staircase and at the top is the actual car, bullet holes and all, that Sonny Carleone was shot in, in the Godfather movie. This was a few years ago, and I hear it has since been auctioned off. But it was very cool to see.
The bottle is wrapped in paper and is actually ripped, on the front and back, from the bullet hole. When you visit the website, it gets even more fun. You have to knock three times, like an old Speak Easy and then they send you the password to enter.
From the website: The story of Vendetta begins with a secret. A whisper. A knock on a hidden door. You'll have to find out where it ends yourself. Vendetta isn't an ordinary wine, but this ain't your regular juice joint. A full-bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, Vendetta was forged in the back rooms and secret alleyways of a bygone era. Don't talk about it. (drink it.) Concentrated yet elegant, it's a wine you can't refuse.
We had this wine with homemade Chicken Parmagina, salad and garlic bread. It's a deep, dark red and a tad dry, but it went down smooth. I thought it had a bit of a spicy after taste which I loved. My husband is a Cab and Malbec fan so we both enjoyed this wine and will definitely buy it again. It was one of our more expensive wines at $24.99 -our usually budget is $10-$12 or our beloved box of wine that sits in the refrigerator - but since we've had Coppola wines before and always found them very, very good, we'll have no trouble spending it for special occasions.
If at any time Vendetta ends up on your dinner table, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!! SALUTE!
Great marketing! I love the actual rips. The have some really good wines. Can't wait to look for it at the liquor store.
It's a very cool bottle. We're keeping it for sure :) Enjoy!
Great label!! I love the Coppola wines. They're excellent.
We do too. We get the Claret quite often and really like it.
I'm not fond of the dry or red part of the wine, but it sounds like you really enjoyed it and the label is cool.
Nana, they have white wines that you might find better to your liking.
I'm ABSOLUTELY going to try this one. Thanks!
You're love it, Liv - Enjoy!

Well I dare you to hum to this.
"There are more fish in the sea"
Is the only truth for me.
I'm goig down down down.
It's burning in my head.
Like a hunk of lead.
But it go on on on.
From point A to point blank.
Switched Spock for Pebbles comps.
Of a full-up parking lot.
But I sure know how to screw.
I know won't fit in a song.
And a faith so long gone.
Or caring about the days.
At the end of this empty phrase.
All the silly love songs.
Only hold up for so long.

Praga-Południe (Praga du Sud) est un arrondissement du centre de Varsovie situées sur la rive Est du fleuve Vistule. Sa superficie est de  et sa population compte 178 726 habitants (01.01.2018).

Histoire
Le secteur de Praga-Południe est resté inoccupé depuis au moins le . On y a trouvé des traces d'occupation plus ancienne que Varsovie elle-même. Cependant le terrain humide et souvent inondé a été abandonné dès que Varsovie a été fondé. Depuis  il est de nouveau peuplé, mais en raison du manque de communication avec Varsovie (jusqu'au , il n'y avait aucun pont permettant de traverser la Vistule), ce n'était qu'une banlieue sans importance.

Praga-Południe a partagé le destin d'un plus grand secteur appelé Praga, qui était la banlieue Est de Varsovie. Au  l'actuel Praga Poludnie a été transformé en camp militaire. Au  la garde Saxonne des rois de Pologne y est casernée, le secteur a été appelée Saska Kępa (littéralement élévation des Saxons).

Cependant, jusqu'au début du  le secteur a maintenu son caractère rural. Praga-Południe est officiellement incorporé  à Varsovie en 1916. Avec l'expansion de Varsovie et Saska Kępa est devenu son centre. Entre 1920 et 1930 c'est devenu un des secteurs les plus populaires de la bourgeoisie de Varsovie.

Pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la ville n'a pas été détruite. En dépit de plusieurs plans, elle n'a pas été industrialisée non plus, ce qui a permis à la zone de maintenir beaucoup de son caractère original, silencieux et paisible. Actuellement, plusieurs immeubles luxueux ont été construits dans le secteur, mais les autorités ne projettent pas construire plus de logements et veulent que son caractère soit préservé.

Indépendamment de l'architecture de Saska Kępa, les attractions principales du quartier sont le parc Skaryszewski, le lac Kamionek et la réserve d'Olszynka Grochowska. Le champ de la bataille d'Olszynka Grochowska (1831) est situé aux confins de l'arrondissement.

Organisation: Chief Executive, Community Living Trust.
Marese has been a leader in the development of innovative, responsive services for people with a disability for over 34 years, yet she has the passion and enthusiasm for this sector as if she only started in it yesterday. This energy and drive is infectious and through her leadership and extensive networks and relationships, she inspires others to contribute to supporting people with disabilities to live the lives of their dreams.
As a leader, Marese has a high profile nationally and a well-deserved reputation, having worked at the sector's highest level for a number of years; holding senior management and directorship roles in community mental health, disability support services, social work and funding and planning – resulting in a breadth of skills and networks across NZ.
In recent years, Marese has sought to involve Community Living Trust more actively in the wider community; championing strategic partnerships with key stakeholders. A highlight of this work has been Community Living Trust's strategic sector partnership with Wintec, focussing on innovative projects that combine learning opportunities for Wintec students and tutors.

"Why can't I become stronger whenever I want?" I asked myself. This whole moving out and in would be way easier for me. If you know me, I'm not really a fitness freak who goes to the gym every day and constantly works out. Nah. I rather enjoy the leisure side of life. But wait! When I was a kid I absolutely loved to watch cartoons and one really stood out in that very moment: Popeye, the friendly and strong sailor! All he needed was a can full of delicious spinach and he would become stronger and faster in the blink of an eye. I was already fantasising about simply lifting up the entire building and moving it to where I wanted to live, when I realised I neither had a can of spinach on me nor does the healthy green vegetable give these kind of superpowers in real life (besides tasting super good).
But in every story there is always a little truth: What the creators of Popeye were referring to, is that in canned spinach all the healthy and good nutrients are preserved without any added preservatives. Bear in mind that Popeye was created in 1919, when preserving food was still a major issue. It is true though that canned spinach might not give you unlimited strength but it feeds your body with a lot of vitamin A, C, K, magnesium, and iron. That's something to start with, right? And even better: Spinach helps rejuvenate the cells and makes your skin look fresh and young (isn't eternal youth a superpower in itself?).
Which superpower would you like to have? And what is your super food? Please leave your comment below!

Rohit Shetty always fulfils my dream to do something different: Ranveer Singh
He is collaborating with the filmmaker again for the upcoming comedy 'Cirkus'
By PTI Updated: December 03, 2022 13:54 IST
Ranveer Singh | AFP
Bollywood star Ranveer Singh on Friday praised his filmmaker-friend Rohit Shetty for offering him the opportunity to shine in diverse films, be it comedy or drama.
After his successful outings with Simmba and Sooryavanshi, Singh has once again collaborated with Shetty for the upcoming comedy Cirkus. He said the movie fulfilled his dream of working with comedy giants like Johnny Lever and Sanjay Mishra.
"For the past 15 years, the most loved comedy in Hindi cinema is 'Golmaal'. I have been waiting for 15 years to be part of a film like this and it is a dream come true to work with genius talents like Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever and all our senior actors.
"Rohit sir always fulfils my dream, he was the first one to present me as a cop and now he made me do comedy. To make the audience laugh, we have made this film so that they forget all their worries," Singh told reporters at the trailer launch press conference of Cirkus.
The 37-year-old actor said his equation with Shetty goes beyond work as he considers him an elder brother.
The 83 star said he has been a fan of Shetty's movies and when he first got the opportunity to team up with him on the 2018 action-drama "Simmba", it was a huge deal. "Our collaboration is very special. We say, director-actor duo, but this is beyond work. He is like my big brother that I have been blessed with. I wanted to be adopted by Rohit Shetty's family and that has happened," he said.
The film is based on William Shakespeare's classic play 'The Comedy of Errors', which revolves around two sets of identical twins, who were accidentally separated at birth.
Calling Singh one of the most hardworking artists from the industry, Shetty said he is fascinated by the energy and dedication of the actor. Singh thinks about the film all the time, the director said, recalling an incident when he made "Simmba" with the actor.
"He was to get married and we had to finish shooting 'Simmba' on time. We worked 20 hours a day and his energy level and dedication remains the same throughout the day," the director said.
Cirkus also stars Pooja Hegde, Jaqueline Fernandez, Varun Sharma, Siddhartha Jadhav, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra and Vrajesh Hirjee, among others.
Cirkus is set to arrive in theatres on December 23. The movie is produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez and presented by T-Series.

Certified Business Angel
The Deals of VIPs – Celebrity 4 Equity
July 3, 2013 /in News /by Business Angel Institute
Celebrity 4 Equity is a big trend in the venture industry but why? Being famous opens doors to events, people, media and wealth. The combination of access to a great amount of capital, a worldwide network and experience of dealing with the public view through media is very attractive for fortunate entrepreneurs. Big businesses have been using this for years, investing a lot of money in testimonials to align their brand with some star appeal – think of George Clooney and Nespresso. Celebrities and their public impact have proven to be one of the best marketing strategies, but it need not be remunerated in cash. Start-ups are usually in a constant shortage of cash, which makes them very creative when it comes to media impact, like guerrilla marketing for instance. Celebrity for equity is a concept where celebrities offer their media effectiveness as a testimonial, receiving equity (company shares) or a participation in sales in return. Convincing the right star, with significant impact in target groups and markets can lead to phenomenal results.
A recent example for this type of investment is given with the famous Rap-Super-Star "50 Cent", who supported the Vitamin Water Glaceau as a testimonial. Glaceau was sold in 2007 for 4.1 Billion Dollar in cash. In exchange for his marketing and brand-building activities "50 Cent" received 10% in shares of Glaceau which resulted in a profit of almost 400 million dollars. Celebrities investing in start-ups may be seen as classical Business Angels, like Ashton Kutscher. Ashton has been investing in quite a few US and Berlin based startups yet.
Entrepreneurial Investments
In contrast to business angel investments some celebrities place conventional venture capital or private equity investments via associate companies. One of these famous companies is Elevation Partners founded by Bono (U2) in 2004. Apart from investments in media, entertainment and technology businesses Elevation Partners bought 2,3% of Facebook in 2009 for 90 million dollars. After the initial public offering IPO of Facebook the stake was worth about 1,5 billion dollar.
Another celebrity who turned into an entrepreneur is the television personality Kim Kardashian who founded a clothing brand D-A-S-H together with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe which leads to the so-called classical celebrity investments like restaurants, fashion-labels, nightclubs, record labels or fragrances. Probably these businesses are easier to understand and therefore celebrities feel more comfortable with them.
However there are very few celebrities with such a strong commitment to the start-up scene like Ashton Kutcher but the demand for start-up-multipliers in Europe is rising. Nevertheless not every celebrity is capable of offering expertise to support a project with the so-called traditional way with funding, deep business know-how, the knowledge of classical management competences and network.
What about social entrepreneurship and celebrities?
Some celebrities are serial entrepreneurs like Victoria Beckham or P-Diddy. Both of them have built quite a decent amount of businesses, like Bad-Boy Entertainment , a holding for various companies or DVB Style, a fashion label by Victoria Beckham. Even so both use their fame to improve awareness for some social issues like funding a business school in Harlem or supporting a fashion campaign against skin cancer together with Marc Jacobs. Another example for social and clean-tech investment is Kevin Costner's oil-water separator, which was used in the BP- Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Kevin Costner invested about 20 million dollar over more than a decade into the business.
How about failing?
Of course there are some celebrities who failed in business like "The Hills" star Heidi Montag who founded a clothing line called "Heidiwood" which failed poorly after one year on the market or the "The Fashion Café" which was established by the four mega supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Elle McPherson and Christy Turlington, which had do be closed after three years of struggling.
To sum up the idea of uniting synergy effects between celebrities and start-ups is a very well-known and proved concept of investment even though these projects can fail. Generally spoken celebrity for equity can be a serious benefit for both sides.

Q: How to print a nested Hashmap in Java formatted I stuck on a problem printing a nested Hashmap formatted to the console in Java. My map structure is like this: private static Map<String, Map<YearInterval, List<String>>> comicFilmMap = new HashMap<>();
The output should look like this: ComicName:
                                         Year
                                             FilmTitle
                                             FilmTitle
I tried a foreach but couldn't get it to work.

A: the easiest possible way is, you can use Map.Entry interface to iterate through your hashmap.
Below is the pseudocode for the same :
foreach(Entry entry: comicFileMap.entryset()){
  sysout(entry.getKey()); // this will be your comicName

  foreach(Entry entryChild: entry.getValue()){ //the getValue() will be again
                                               //hashmap()
     sysout(entrychild.getkey());
     foreach(String str: entryChild.getValue()){//this loop will print list of
                                                //string
       sysout(str);
     }
  }
}

November 24, 2021 November 24, 2021 banthonygibson News
Many people have been asking about the new project that we're working on called Earth Sector. Earth Sector is a new internet series that we're hoping to put online by next year. Filming is currently underway for the first two episodes. You'll see some familiar faces from previous projects and some new faces. But let's break down what this is all about.
What is the series about?
The story takes place in present day Earth. Ten years prior, nearly half of an alien civilization has traveled to Earth to escape genocide and tyrannical rule on their planet. In an agreement known as the Kelis Act, the US government has agreed to allow the travelers to safely migrate to t he United States. However, this is not without consequence. With a new species living among the American people brings different types of problems. Different types of crime. Crime that regular law enforcement may not be equipped to handle. That's where the intergalactic task force comes in; comprised of alien and human agents.
Who is in the series?
Jeannie Clinton
Returning for another Tatum Pictures production. Jeannie has previously been seen in The Underworld – The Series and Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Apalachee. Originally cast to play Detective Janet Rigby in, the now canceled Finding Rigby. However, the character of Janet Rigby has found new life in Earth Sector. And Jeannie is returning to play her.
Kaitlyn Baldwin
This will be Kaitlyn's first production with Tatum Pictures and we're happy to have her aboard!
Collin Arend
Although Collin was previously cast in the subsequent sequels to our Star Wars fan film, production never finished due to the pandemic. Earth Sector will technically be Collin's first Tatum Pictures production. Welcome aboard!
Dean Amsler
Dean returns for another Tatum Pictures production. Previously, Dean had taken part in Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Apalachee and Indiana Jones and the Legend of Bimini. Dean was also part of Finding Rigby before production was shut down.
David Spiro
This will be David's first Tatum Pictures production and we are thrilled to finally get him!
John M. Sindoni
Last, but not least, we have John. John has been in countless Tatum Pictures productions dating back to 2003. To name a few, The Underworld – The Series, Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Apalachee, Two Degrees, and Star Wars – Scramble on Uylara.
Keep an eye on the website for updates on production and character spotlights. We look forward to bringing Earth Sector to you!
May 19, 2020 banthonygibson News
The adventure began on May 19, 2019 with Star Wars: Scramble on Uylara! This ws our first foray into the Star Wars universe the kicks off a trilogy. The movie has been viewed; locally here in Rochester NY and worldwide on the internet. We are so glad to have brought this to many Star Wars fans out there and look forward to bringing the second chapter to you all very soon. Once the pandemic is under control, we can get back to production. In the meantime, take thirty minutes to rewatch the first chapter!
So…What Are We Up To?
March 21, 2020 banthonygibson News
It's been a whiles since we've posted an update on what we're doing. Many of you have probably wondered what became of the next chapter in our Star Wars trilogy. And now, with all the craziness surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, we've sort of taken a back seat in favor of things that are more important. That being said, we felt it necessary to update you on where we are with our progress and what comes next.
First of all, we sincerely hope that all of our followers are taking the world's current situation very seriously. Here, in the state of New York, all non-essential businesses have been forced to close and are telling everyone to stay home. So this means that production is at a stand still for Star Wars: Emergence of the Dark Side. Although, there have been other delays that have impacted production, this has been the most serious so far.
So, what are we up to. Well, over the next few weeks, we'll be airing some of our old work on our Facebook page (assuming Facebook doesn't try to sensor it). Since we have some downtime, we'll also attempt to put up some unseen footage and behind the scenes from some of our movies. And when production picks back up, we'll be sure to let you know! So, stay home. Be safe. And we'll be sure to keep everyone in the loop!

Teenagers are no strangers to making mistakes. I made plenty during my teens, and you probably did too. But back when I was going through puberty, there was no social media. No multi-billion dollar company was storing a complete dossier on my life, and my most embarrassing moments only live on in my memory. A lack of a social media footprint can definitely be an advantage.
Starting in 2015, California teenagers will be able to enjoy that same advantage if they so choose. Just this week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a new "eraser" bill into law that would require websites to scrub a minor's online activity from public view upon their request.
There are a few catches to the new law. Teens concerned about their privacy will only be able to request deletion of content they provided or uploaded themselves. They must make their request before they turn 18. And the offending posts or pictures need not actually be removed from company servers, just made unavailable for public viewing.
Teenage privacy is a growing concern amongst lawmakers because it seems to be increasingly under attack. In August, a proposed change to Facebook's Data Use Policy would allow the site to use underaged children's self photos, posts and likes in advertisements as a condition of their using the site.
"If you are under the age of eighteen (18) … you represent that at least one of your parents or legal guardians has also agreed to the terms of this section (and the use of your name, profile, picture, content, and information) on your behalf," reads the site's proposed new privacy rules.
That exploitative change has been put on hold after over 20 advocacy groups, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center and Center for Digital Democracy, petitioned the FTC to review its legality.
It's still too early to tell just how beneficial California's new teen privacy law will be. Still, it's a great sign to see the nation's largest state take action on this growing issue. Given how easily a single picture can ruin a career, minors deserve the option for a digital fresh start at age 18 if they so choose.
