Q: java code regarding grades and averages For my assignment I have to create a code that reads in 10 assignment grades, and calculates and displays the largest value, the smallest value, and the average. So far, I have been able to get my code to read in the 10 grades and calculate and display the average, however I need help with the part that displays the largest value entered and the smallest value entered.
I believe I will be using if statements for that.
Thanks for your time and help

A: I'm definitely not giving you code, but I'll suggest a start.
Set max to 0 and min to something huge, like Integer.MAX_VALUE.
When you read each value, if it's larger than the max, set the max to that value. If it's smaller than the min, set the min to that value.

A: Have two local variables.
int high = 0, lo=Integer.MAX_VALUE;

as your reading in values.
if ( value > high ) high = value;
if ( value < low ) low = value;

A: I will definitely not provide you with code either, but I will offer an approach to how you can do it:

*

*Create a double[] with a size of 10

*Read in 10 decimal numbers and assign them at different indexes within the array (index 0 = first input number, index 1 = second input number, index 2 = third input number, etc...)

*Calculate the average of the array (sum of all elements / size of array)

*Sort the array (you should probably use bubble sort or Arrays#sort if you're allowed)

*Depending on how you sort it, the smallest value will be at index 0 (or 9) and the largest value will be at index 9 (or 0)

*Print out the appropriate information

A: Add all the grades to an int array, then use these functions i've made for you
//This will find the largest number in your int array
public static int largestNumber(int[] numbers){
    int largest = numbers[0];
    for(int i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1; i++){//for each number in the array
        if(numbers[i] > largest){//Check if that number is larger than the largest int recorded so far
            largest = numbers[i];//If that number is larger, record it to be the largest, and continue on to the next number
        }
    }
    return largest;//After checking each number, return the largest in the array
}

//This will find the lowest number in your int array, it works the same way as the last function does
public static int lowestNumber(int[] numbers){
    int lowest= numbers[0];
    for(int i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1; i++){
        if(numbers[i] < lowest){
            lowest= numbers[i];
        }
    }
    return lowest;
}

Hope this helps you out! :)

A: Assign the first element of the array as the max and min ..
Then start traversing the array , and compare it with the other array elements.
if(a[i]>max)
max=a[i]

if(a[i]<min)
min=a[i]

at the end of the loop , you will have your answer

Eviction records are essentially just civil court cases filed by landlords against tenants to regain possession of a rental property because they violated the terms of a lease agreement.
Option 1: If you know where the case would have been filed, you can search the public records found on the Clerk of the Court's website for that jurisdiction (the county where the property is located).
Option 2: When you don't know which jurisdiction to search or you want to cast a wide net to see what you can catch, services such as AmerUSA.com offer an instant statewide search for a minimal fee.
Important: Regardless of how you conduct your search, you need to make sure you are searching the correct first and last name. Minor discrepancies such as John or Jon can yield different results.
So when possible (especially before accepting a tenant), always ask to see the person's government issued photo identification.

North African Crisis Could Test The Asylum System To Destruction
Asylum, European Union, Migration Trends, Refugees
The recent instability caused by revolutionary change and military conflict in some Arab countries in North Africa has the potential to generate substantial flows of migrants into the EU. EU Ministers will meet on 11 May to consider what might be done.
Some migrants will be genuine refugees but many will be economic migrants. Anyone who sets foot in the UK and claims asylum has the right under the 1951 Refugee Convention to have his or her case heard and also has a right of appeal if refused. Applicants are supported by the taxpayer throughout the process which takes months, and often years. The UK's record in removing those whose cases eventually fail is extremely poor.
In theory, the UK can return economic migrants who claim asylum to the EU country in which they first arrived but that requires proof of their point of arrival which is often impossible to obtain.

Q: How to fix an image to the bottom right with resizing window? Hello I'm trying to fix an image to the very bottom right of the page and it shows fine using css:
.logo img{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}

but when resizing the window size, the image goes on top of the content, how to fix that please?

A: take a look: http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
then use float:right on the image

A: Use a negative 'z-index' on the image in your CSS, like z-index: -1;
This will pull the image underneath the content.

A study of framing, flawed exit polling, and the print media's focus on the "moral values" in the 2004 election
During the 2004 election season, conservative elites employed superior agenda-setting techniques and utilized the mass media to sway public opinion on sensitive social issues in hopes of generating electoral success for conservative candidates, particularly President George W. Bush. Conservative elites such as religious leaders, members of Congress, and the Bush/Cheney campaign team, developed frames to describe emotive social issues such as same-sex marriage and stem cell research, with the intention that the conservative viewpoint on these issues would resonate with the public and earn them votes in the election. They succeeded. The mass media in turn, accepted many of the conservative frames, and engaged in widespread transmission of them to the American public. As a result, the Republican Party enjoyed gains in Congress, and President Bush earned reelection. This thesis details what frames rose to prominence in the 2004 election season; namely the so-called "moral" frames regarding issues such as same-sex marriage and stem cell research. This paper will allow the reader to see how framing was used, what frames were utilized, and how conservatives were successful in converting this hard work into votes for their candidates. The nucleus of my argument resides in the second half of this paper; dealing with the problems behind our understanding, as a country, of the significance of the widespread conservative victories in 2004. My research shows that the national exit poll was a flawed measurement of public perception of the social and political issues at hand during the election. The print media failed in its attempt to paint a picture that would explain why many Americans chose "moral values" as the core issue that influenced their vote. Furthermore, the print press contributed to the "moral values" confusion after the election by providing electoral analysis using many of the same conservative frames from the election season. This paper will argue that, based on a faulty exit poll and a lack of electoral analysis by the print media, these "moral" issues were not the reasons for conservative victories in 2004, and the GOP's success in 2004 should not dictate a future change in electoral strategy by the Democratic and Republican parties.

As Cape Town is considered one of the premier destinations in the world, so is Floreal House an ideal place to stay in the Mother City – with everything you'd expect from a guest house of this calibre.
Located below the magnificent Table Mountain, guests staying at Floréal House are treated to the most stunning views of not only this wonder of the world, but also the city, harbour and Table Bay that comes alive with light at night.
A short ride away, or even walking distance, guests will find some of the best restaurants, tourist attractions and sights the city has to offer – the beautiful Company Gardens, V&A Waterfront, the bustling city centre, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the cable-way up the mountain and the world-renowned beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno.
Ten exceptionally comfortable 4-star rooms offer all that can be expected for a top holiday.
This magnificent, well-known Cape Town building boasts sweeping views of Table Mountain, the harbour and Table Bay. Dating back to the 1920's, the lodge is exceptionally stylish, with an impressive white exterior and attractive wooden-framed windows, looking out on views in all directions.
Friendly hospitality is the order of the day. Meals are served all day by the swimming pool in the colourful gardens and staff are on hand at all times to help maximize the guests' enjoyment of the Mother City.
Conveniently situated in historic Oranjezicht, the lodge has easy access to the Waterfront, the mountain and the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton offering the comfort of a small hotel within a stone's throw of the heart of Cape Town.
What a warm welcome at Floréal House. Bedroom was fabulous, breakfasts were delicious, complimentary sherry in the hall, and the staff are truly out of this world. They even arranged dinner on request one evening! Across the street there is a very pleasant little delicatessen with good cappuccino! And all this with magnificent Table Mountain as a backdrop.
Every time I visit Cape Town, I only stay at one guesthouse, Floréal House. You are always greeted with a smile by the polite and friendly staff. The rooms are neat and very comfortable. The cost for the stay is also very affordable and the best part must be that you are three minutes away from some of the best restaurants in Cape Town.
Stayed here for a week during a business and pleasure trip to South Africa. This is a fantastic hotel/guest house! It is a converted colonial-type house, with high ceilings, wood beams and a general airy feel. The rooms are huge and very luxurious. Some rooms (2 & 3) have amazing views out over Cape Town and Devil's peak. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfasts are cooked to order. I can think of no negative points about this place.
This guesthouse is amazing! Such friendly people, who make your stay comfortable. Location at the foot of Table Mountain and a few minutes' drive to the center. Great atmosphere, delicious breakfast. We really would come here again.
No visit to Cape Town would be complete without ascending the world renowned Table Mountain – voted one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Whether you hike up the mountain or use the cable way, the views from atop the mountain will ensure memories that last a lifetime. There is a restaurant with tourist facilities on the mountain, with paved walkways for easy exploration. Visitors can enjoy magnificent vistas of the city bowl, False Bay, the Atlantic Seaboard and Robben Island.
As a world-class tourist destination, Cape Town's city centre is filled with wonderful surprises and great discoveries waiting to be made – from the exquisite Company Gardens near the houses of parliament, to the curio stalls on Greenmarket Square, to the hodge-podge mix of restaurant, bars and clubs in Long Street, to the Grand Parade, Castle of Good Hope, the historic Bo-Kaap neughbourhood, to Sea Point Promenade – the City of Cape Town is a great place to explore. There are also a range of farmers and fresh good markets on various days of the week.
Established in 1913 and covering 528 hectares on the eastern foot of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is one of nine National Botanical Gardens in South Africa and covers five of South Africa's six biomes over a massive 528 hectares. Hugely popular with both local and international tourists, Kirstenbosch is a must-see attraction with the latest addition, the Tree Canopy Walkway (or Boomslang – Tree Snake), giving visitors an unparalled experience of seeing not on the gardens from the tree tops, but also vistas of the city.
Another favourite among visitors to Cape Town, a trip to Cape Point is another unforgettable experience. As part of the Table Mountain Nature Reserve, the Cape of Good Hope section is generally wild, unspoiled and undeveloped and a home to many wild animals – baboons, antelope, Eland (Africa's largest antelope) and mountain Zebra as well as many endemic birds. Attractions worth visiting is the Two Oceans Restaurant, the three shops at Cape Point, the Flying Dutchman funicular and the many amazing beaches, swim spots and wrecks.
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a major shopping and entertainment centre in Cape Town and features sweeping views of the Atlantics Ocean, Table Bay Harbour, the city itself and Table Mountain. Some of the best restaurants can be found at the Waterfront, as well as world-class shops, a cinema, boat rides, helicopter tours and some of the best hotels in Cape Town. The ferry to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, also leaves from the Waterfront. The V&A Waterfront is one of the Premium destinations in South Africa.
The Mother City has some of the world's most beautiful beaches, seven of which enjoy Blue Flag status – Bikini Beach, Mnandi Beach, Strandfontein Beach, Llandudno Beach, Camps Bay Beach, Clifton 4th Beach and Silwerstroomstrand. Depending on the season you might even see dolphins, whales and seals. Situated in tourist hotspots, most of these beaches are close to shopping centres and town centres – after basking in the sun and frolicking in the waves, you can enjoy sundowners before experiencing the rest of what Cape Town has to offer.
We would love to entertain you as a guest at Floréal House, so do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a wonderful stay with us.
When coming from Cape Town International Airport, take the N2 highway into Cape Town. After approximately 15 minutes of driving, look out for the M3 De Waal Drive exit, following signs to the Table Mountain Cable Car. Keep following these signs and exit the M3 at the Mill Street (Jutland Avenue) exit. Then turn left into Upper Orange Street and drive towards Table Mountain. You will find Floréal House on your right, on the corner of Upper Orange Street and Montrose Avenue.


Some proteins and protein complexes are built from the products of several genes (each gene contributing a polypeptide subunit), which means that the protein or complex will not have the same name or symbol as any one gene. For example, a particular protein called "example" (symbol "EXAMP") may have 2 chains (subunits), which are encoded by 2 genes named "example alpha chain" and "example beta chain" (symbols EXAMPA and EXAMPB).
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee is responsible for providing human gene naming guidelines and approving new, unique human gene names and symbols (short identifiers typically created by abbreviating). For some nonhuman species, model organism databases serve as central repositories of guidelines and help resources, including advice from curators and nomenclature committees. In addition to species-specific databases, approved gene names and symbols for many species can be located in the National Center for Biotechnology Information's "Entrez Gene" database.
The research communities of vertebrate model organisms have adopted guidelines whereby genes in these species are given, whenever possible, the same names as their human orthologs. The use of prefixes on gene symbols to indicate species (e.g., "Z" for zebrafish) is discouraged. The recommended formatting of printed gene and protein symbols varies between species.
Vertebrate genes and proteins have names (typically strings of words) and symbols, which are short identifiers (typically 3 to 8 characters). For example, the gene cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 has the HGNC symbol CTLA4. These symbols are usually, but not always, coined by contraction or acronymic abbreviation of the name. They are pseudo-acronyms, however, in the sense that they are complete identifiers by themselves—short names, essentially. They are synonymous with (rather than standing for) the gene/protein name (or any of its aliases), regardless of whether the initial letters "match". For example, the symbol for the gene v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1, which is AKT1, cannot be said to be an acronym for the name, and neither can any of its various synonyms, which include AKT, PKB, PRKBA, and RAC. Thus, the relationship of a gene symbol to the gene name is functionally the relationship of a nickname to a formal name (both are complete identifiers)—it is not the relationship of an acronym to its expansion. In this sense they are similar to the symbols for units of measurement in the SI system (such as km for the kilometre), in that they can be viewed as true logograms rather than just abbreviations. Sometimes the distinction is academic, but not always. Although it is not wrong to say that "VEGFA" is an acronym standing for "vascular endothelial growth factor A", just as it is not wrong that "km" is an abbreviation for "kilometre", there is more to the formality of symbols than those statements capture.
The root portion of the symbols for a gene family (such as the "SERPIN" root in SERPIN1, SERPIN2, SERPIN3, and so on) is called a root symbol.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee is responsible for providing human gene naming guidelines and approving new, unique human gene names and symbols (short identifiers typically created by abbreviating). All human gene names and symbols can be searched online at the HGNC website, and the guidelines for their formation are available there. The guidelines for humans fit logically into the larger scope of vertebrates in general, and the HGNC's remit has recently expanded to assigning symbols to all vertebrate species without an existing nomenclature committee, to ensure that vertebrate genes are named in line with their human orthologs/paralogs. Human gene symbols generally are italicised, with all letters in uppercase (e.g., SHH, for sonic hedgehog). Italics are not necessary in gene catalogs. Protein designations are the same as the gene symbol except that they are not italicised. Like the gene symbol, they are in all caps because human (human-specific or human homolog). mRNAs and cDNAs use the same formatting conventions as the gene symbol. For naming families of genes, the HGNC recommends using a "root symbol" as the root for the various gene symbols. For example, for the peroxiredoxin family, PRDX is the root symbol, and the family members are PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX3, PRDX4, PRDX5, and PRDX6.
One complication that gene and protein symbols bring to this general rule is that they are not, accurately speaking, abbreviations or acronyms, despite the fact that many were originally coined via abbreviating or acronymic etymology. They are pseudoacronyms (as SAT and KFC also are) because they do not "stand for" any expansion. Rather, the relationship of a gene symbol to the gene name is functionally the relationship of a nickname to a formal name (both are complete identifiers)—it is not the relationship of an acronym to its expansion. In fact, many official gene symbol–gene name pairs do not even share their initial-letter sequences (although some do). Nevertheless, gene and protein symbols "look just like" abbreviations and acronyms, which presents the problem that "failing" to "expand" them (even though it is not actually a failure and there are no true expansions) creates the appearance of violating the spell-out-all-acronyms rule.
One common way of reconciling these two opposing forces is simply to exempt all gene and protein symbols from the glossing rule. This is certainly fast and easy to do, and in highly specialized journals, it is also justified because the entire target readership has high subject matter expertise. (Experts are not confused by the presence of symbols (whether known or novel) and they know where to look them up online for further details if needed.) But for journals with broader and more general target readerships, this action leaves the readers without any explanatory annotation and can leave them wondering what the apparent-abbreviation stands for and why it was not explained. Therefore, a good alternative solution is simply to put either the official gene name or a suitable short description (gene alias/other designation) in parentheses after the first use of the official gene/protein symbol. This meets both the formal requirement (the presence of a gloss) and the functional requirement (helping the reader to know what the symbol refers to). The same guideline applies to shorthand names for sequence variations; AMA says, "In general medical publications, textual explanations should accompany the shorthand terms at first mention." Thus "188del11" is glossed as "an 11-bp deletion at nucleotide 188." This corollary rule (which forms an adjunct to the spell-everything-out rule) often also follows the "abbreviation-leading" style of expansion that is becoming more prevalent in recent years. Traditionally, the abbreviation always followed the fully expanded form in parentheses at first use. This is still the general rule. But for certain classes of abbreviations or acronyms (such as clinical trial acronyms [e.g., ECOG] or standardized polychemotherapy regimens [e.g., CHOP]), this pattern may be reversed, because the short form is more widely used and the expansion is merely parenthetical to the discussion at hand. The same is true of gene/protein symbols.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) maintains an official symbol and name for each human gene, as well as a list of synonyms and previous symbols and names. For example, for AFF1 (AF4/FMR2 family, member 1), previous symbols and names are MLLT2 ("myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax (Drosophila) homolog); translocated to, 2") and PBM1 ("pre-B-cell monocytic leukemia partner 1"), and synonyms are AF-4 and AF4. Authors of journal articles often use the latest official symbol and name, but just as often they use synonyms and previous symbols and names, which are well established by earlier use in the literature. AMA style is that "authors should use the most up-to-date term" and that "in any discussion of a gene, it is recommended that the approved gene symbol be mentioned at some point, preferably in the title and abstract if relevant." Because copyeditors are not expected or allowed to rewrite the gene and protein nomenclature throughout a manuscript (except by rare express instructions on particular assignments), the middle ground in manuscripts using synonyms or older symbols is that the copyeditor will add a mention of the current official symbol at least as a parenthetical gloss at the first mention of the gene or protein, and query for confirmation.
Some basic conventions, such as (1) that animal/human homolog (ortholog) pairs differ in letter case (title case and all caps, respectively) and (2) that the symbol is italicized when referring to the gene but nonitalic when referring to the protein, are often not followed by contributors to medical journals. Many journals have the copyeditors restyle the casing and formatting to the extent feasible, although in complex genetics discussions only subject-matter experts (SMEs) can effortlessly parse them all. One example that illustrates the potential for ambiguity among non-SMEs is that some official gene names have the word "protein" within them, so the phrase "brain protein I3 (BRI3)" (referring to the gene) and "brain protein I3 (BRI3)" (referring to the protein) are both valid. The AMA Manual gives another example: both "the TH gene" and "the TH gene" can validly be parsed as correct ("the gene for tyrosine hydroxylase"), because the first mentions the alias (description) and the latter mentions the symbol. This seems confusing on the surface, although it is easier to understand when explained as follows: in this gene's case, as in many others, the alias (description) "happens to use the same letter string" that the symbol uses. (The matching of the letters is of course acronymic in origin and thus the phrase "happens to" implies more coincidence than is actually present; but phrasing it that way helps to make the explanation clearer.) There is no way for a non-SME to know this is the case for any particular letter string without looking up every gene from the manuscript in a database such as NCBI Gene, reviewing its symbol, name, and alias list, and doing some mental cross-referencing and double-checking (plus it helps to have biochemical knowledge). Most medical journals do not (in some cases cannot) pay for that level of fact-checking as part of their copyediting service level; therefore, it remains the author's responsibility. However, as pointed out earlier, many authors make little attempt to follow the letter case or italic guidelines; and regarding protein symbols, they often won't use the official symbol at all. For example, although the guidelines would call p53 protein "TP53" in humans or "Trp53" in mice, most authors call it "p53" in both (and even refuse to call it "TP53" if edits or queries try to), not least because of the biologic principle that many proteins are essentially or exactly the same molecules regardless of mammalian species. Regarding the gene, authors are usually willing to call it by its human-specific symbol and capitalization, TP53, and may even do so without being prompted by a query. But the end result of all these factors is that the published literature often does not follow the nomenclature guidelines completely.

I did this story in a podcast a long time ago, but I'll have to write this bad boy out and post the podcast at the bottom because this, at its height, was one of the biggest business ventures that made it's way into my life.
However, I didn't realize it and just went at it from a healthy standpoint rather than looking to expand and grow. So it goes something like this….
In October of 2012, I was sitting at a table in a hot gym staring at a man who looked like Bruce Leroy out of the 1985 film 'The Last Dragon." Over to my right was a booth with banners with writing super imposed in big lettering "Nutrition LV." Of course at the time I was looking for a better source of protein and post-workout snacks, but luckily I festered up the courage towards the end(which I lacked five years ago), went over and spoke to one of the nicest women in the world. She saw that I was dragging and asked me, "um, would you like some water? I have some orange flavored water with B vitamins." I took it, and the rest was history. After coming to my senses almost instantaneously, I asked the woman, "do you have protein bars?" She invited me over to her office.
It took me about 6 months to visit, but when I finally got there and had a tea beverage and a ridiculously delicious protein shake in the other hand – BOOM! I signed up, which was a fee of 70$ shortly later – just so I can buy my Herbalife at anytime at a discounted price. Within the first couple of months, I increased my overall discounted rate to 35% – just before heading to Thailand. Since being here, I've been focusing so much more on different things, so I haven't been doing Herbalife full-time per se. However, it's still something I buy on a monthly basis and have it shipped from multiple countries – because I LOVE IT.
What a lot of you must remember is don't always be rescue 911. People, especially in American society, don't want any help. The moment you mention anything to them comes a defence mechanism and they say, "SCAM" in the matter of seconds without knowing anything. On the other hand, I saw that my brother had had back surgery the year before, my sisters and mother were at the very minimal overweight….so I tried helping them, only to be completely shunned by them. Take everyone you're trying to help off your shoulder first; then go through the door, become what it is you want to become successful at before going back to say, "uhhhhh, yeah. Here I am? Do you think I'm still lying?" At that point, you don't even have to do it.
I'm very picky with what I consume after workouts. These days, I workout at a gym in the heart of Bangkok called "The Lab" and the workouts are fierce and relentless. Having a typical Thai dish won't suffice. Having a grounded up salad for carbs and protein (based on if its focused more on fat burning than weightlifting), would, but there's not much in the neighborhood….so an already made Herbalife shake paves the way for me. It's not only the shakes, but the probiotics (those who suffer from constipation – this is your god); to the best defense that has echinacea formulated in it; to the ridiculous Herbalife 24 line……pure love!
I say with utter gratitude that I'm so unbelievably thankful that one afternoon shifted the way I see healthy eating for the rest of my life.
I will still eat my hamburgers, though.

'Mercy Rule' Review: Kirk Cameron Can Suck It
By TK Burton | Film | February 4, 2014 |
Here's the story, nutshelled: John Miller (Kirk Cameron) is an affable, loving family man who runs a scrap yard that he inherited from his father. He has a beautiful and wonderful wife, played by real-life spouse Chelsea Noble, and two kids, the precocious pre-teen daughter, and the rambunctious son with a passion for baseball. Cameron is under fire from the evil local government city council that wants to take over his scrap business via a barrage of environmental regulations and taxes, and simultaneously, his son is struggling to find his place on his little league team. Other notable characters are comedian Tim Hawkins, who is basically the Christian Weird Al, as Miller's brother, and former MMA fighter Bas Rutten (!) as the little league coach.
Over the course of the film, Cameron has innumerable cheesy, treacly conversations with his wife where she tells him how great he is, gets to make grand sweeping generalizations about government regulation, argues with his dipshit brother, and eventually has a Mr. Smith Goes To Washington moment in front of his local city council where he wins the day, saves his business from the evil gubment oppressors, and buys everyone ice cream (yes, really). Meanwhile, his son — the film's parallel plotline — learns about teamwork and being an all-around good guy from his coach, his father, and his wacky uncle.
It is — and I say this without any hyperbole whatsovever — the most boring movie I've ever seen in my life. I conned my wife into watching it with me by cooking her dinner and buying her wine, and making her think it would be hilarious. It wasn't. It was dreadful, and dull and soporific and stupid. It was trench warfare to get through it — long and brutal and painful, an unending agony rife with cliche and saccharine dialogue with absolutely zero value. 20 minutes into the film, we wanted to die. Cameron vowed that this film would bring families together — I was worried my wife was going to divorce me for subjecting her to it. And let's remember, she sat through Sharktopus and The Human Centipede with me. But this was infinitely worse — in several ways — than either of those.
Taking out all of the Christian-themed elements, it's still awful. I realize that I'm not the audience for the film, but it's a terrible movie in literally every way that a film can be terrible. Acting, directing, cinematography, editing, writing, dialogue, production, sound, everything. Every single person involved in making this film should be poked with sharp sticks until they vow to leave the industry forever.
So. Here is a list, in handy bullet points, of everything you need to know about the film. Bear in mind, this was originally going to be a real-time review except that it was so goddamn boring, there was nothing worth writing.
— Cameron's studio is called "Hero 4 Baby Studios." I do not know what that means. Mrs. TK assumed it referred to the baby Jesus. Because Jesus.
— At one point, Cameron's character says that he's proud of never taking a government subsidy, "like God and George Washington intended." BECAUSE JESUS.
— The film opens with a five-minute narration about his scrap metal business, and then a little league game in slow-motion (this will become a thing), and then him and his kids throwing grapefruits at each other. But, Cameron says, "it isn't all grapefruit fights and laughing at the table." That is an actual line of dialogue in a movie.
— In his wife's eyes, his greatest sin — the one that fills her with outrage and makes her storm off angrily — is that he thinks about smoking sometimes. NOT THAT HE SMOKES, BUT THAT HE SOMETIMES THINKS ABOUT IT.
— There is a single minority in the film, and he has no spoken lines. As Mrs. TK says, "Aw, everyone's so white and pretty in Jesus Land!"
— I would say, conservatively, that roughly 50% of the film is done in slow motion. Hand to God. My wife noted that if we could just skip the slow motion, the film would be an hour long. As it stands, it's two horrific, brain-deadening hours. And yes, we watched all of it.
— There is also more lens flare than an Abrams Star Trek movie. However, it's done so artlessly that most of the lens-flarey shots are just blinding light, obscuring almost everything on the screen. It's baffling.
— Of the 50% that isn't in slow motion, roughly 30% of that is pensive stares into the middle distance, without any dialogue.
— At one point, there is a 10 minute scene where Cameron and the evil government "eco-lobbyist" argue about hazardous waste subsidies. For 15 minutes. In a movie that you're supposed to watch with your family.
— Seriously, I need to talk more about the slow motion. It's bizarre and relentless, like the director went to the Zack Snyder School and just went bananas. There's an entire baseball game filmed in slow motion. Slow motion walking. Slow motion eating. Slow motion pensive staring. Slow motion commuting to work. SLOW MOTION PANCAKE-MAKING.
— The women in the film serve no purpose other than support roles. Literally all they do is offer dutiful support to their husbands/brothers/fathers. That's it.
— In fact, Chelsea Noble — again, Cameron's real-life wife — is only ever seen speaking to either him or her son. I'm not joking. She literally has no dialogue with anyone else in the film. She does not exist outside of the viewpoints of her son and husband. This is doubly interesting because apparently, when Cameron was in the film Fireproof, Noble was brought in as a "kissing double" for his romance scene, because he refused to kiss anyone except his wife, even on film. This is supposed to be charming and romantic. It is, in fact, psychotic.
— The tagline for the film is "There's No Quit In Family" which makes absolutely no sense. At one point, when discussing leadership, Cameron uses the phrase "like the champion of the army" which also makes no sense. This is the kind of awkwardly written, rote turn of phrase that peppers the entire film.
I wanted this to be a funny and clever review of a silly, misguided family film. That is not possible. Because there's no value to Mercy Rule, either comedic or otherwise. It's garbage. One hour and fifty-seven minutes of syrupy-sweet, artless, clumsily executed, fundamentalist anti-government propagandist garbage. Cameron — who is anti-choice, anti-gay rights, anti-women's rights, anti-everything except Jesus — has ham-fistedly created a thinly veiled fundamentalist bucket of goat shit. I hate myself for watching it. I hate myself for making my wife sit through it, even though I gave her an escape hatch after 30 minutes. But she soldiered through it, which shows that regardless of what Cameron says about his lovely devoted wife, mine kicks her ass all day, every day. This is the worst thing I've ever done for this site. I hate everything right now, except for my wife.
In short, fuck Kirk Cameron.

A Gyrocopter looks like a small helicopter but the main difference is there is no engine turning the rotors. The rotors simply self-propel (which we call "autorotate") due to the way that the air flows through them.
As the engine is not connected to the rotors, this means that a Gyrocopter is not seriously affected if the engine should stop in flight. This, together with a very short landing roll (we can land in a very small open space, about the size of a putting green), means that a Gyrocopter is one of the safest methods of flying.
Gyrocopters have traditionally been open cockpit "Motorbikes of the sky" but, since late 2010, they are available as fully enclosed models. This changes the game completely.
Watch the video clip on the right hand side, it will explain to you exactly why flying Gyrocopters is so fantastic, it will also help you decide.....which one do you want!!
The Gyrocopter Experience has flying schools around the UK where you can "fly one, to try one". See all the locations below.
The Gyrocopter Experience head office at York also has a Gyrocopter museum and sales showroom. Come and see the entire range for yourself, you will be made most welcome at all our locations.
Everyone should experience a flight in a Gyrocopter. It's simply fantastic!
Gyrocopter Experience flights make a great gift for that special occassion.
See the countryside from a different perspective. Experience flights can be bought as vouchers from the online shop or direct from any of our Flying Schools (click on the flying school).
A Gyrocopter is easier to fly than you may expect.
It does require a pilots licence but it is no more complicated that flying an Aeroplane or Microlight, it's a lot easier than flying a helicopter.

Pilot Training and Experience Flights are available at each school. Click on the school for more details.
Calling all Gyrocopter Pilots and Instructors!
The Gyrocopter Experience are delighted to be one of the sponsors of the International Association of Professional Gyroplane Training?
?This is an Association for all Gyro pilots, instructors, student pilots, manufacturers and regulators of Gyroplane activity with an objective of creating and promoting worldwide standards of Gyroplane flying and instruction. The aim is to continually improve safety of Gyroplane flying, worldwide.
We urge every gyro pilot in the world to become a member of this Association. There is a wealth of knowledge to learn and share. The Association also provides software tools to integrate?Instructor led student training records?with?self-study online training. It's not just for instructors and students though, every Gyro pilot would benefit and learn something, with a system of reminders and checklists to help keep you legal and properly prepared when you go flying.

PLAYLIST FOR "IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU" (4.18.20)
Week after week after week, for the last ten years, this show has been about three things: me, myself, and I. Sure, I've talked now and then about the audience and me being a team – but I've recently been reminded that there's no "I" in team. And you can't spell Turntable without "U". So this week all of the music was dedicated and focussed on YOU. I figure after sucking up to the audience for two hours in ten years, things can get back to normal next week.

PLAYLIST FOR "TEACHABLE MOMENTS" (2.22.20)
I thought when you experience a Teachable Moment, you're supposed to reflect and even have a change of heart. The only reflection I'm seeing these days is in my mirror – and I'm not too happy with those results either. So I played a couple hours of songs about people confronting difficult situations in hopes that the music and messages might be helpful and instructive. Probably it instructed people to turn off their radios. Not exactly what I had planned.

PLAYLIST FOR "9TH ANNUAL MUSIC TO BE THANKFUL FOR" SHOW (11.24.18)
This is a special show I wait for every year. In addition to presenting some of the music I've been thankful for during the past year, I ask some of my fellow broadcasters to record a brief intro for their choices, because it's also "Family Night At Turntable For One," so my wife and son offer their choices, plus I ask a few of my favorite singers to tell my audience about a song or singer they're thankful for. This year it was Kellye Gray, Heather Bambrick, Diane Marino, and Mark Winkler.

Saidpur Enterprises comprises two groups: Action Bag Handicrafts and Eastern Screen Printers. Its Action Bag subsidiary employs women artisans who make a variety of jute products. Some have husbands who are underemployed; others are widowed. Action Bag provides literacy classes, and training on nutrition, women's legal rights, educational awareness and finance.
Following the 1971 war that established Bangladesh, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) started clinics and nutrition centers in Saidpur to help address food shortages and disease. In 1976 MCC began a program to help mothers of malnourished children coming to its nutrition center. This temporary employment program became Action Bag Handicrafts, and now supports artisans selling for the fair trade export market.


via What's New for Lighting in LEED v4 | Lighting Controls Association.
The new lighting guidelines in LEED V4 will direct a lot of what we do with regards to our LED and high efficiency lighting decisions in Springfield over the next few years.
It will definitely affect the fixture selections during design. We are using more and more LEDs. However, I always stay away from the lower quality brands…..I believe the new Title 24 regulations in California are already driving some of the same lighting control requirements….


Between the humidity and heat, Florida's rainy summer's require many a day inside. Sure, bike rides with your beloved pals are the makings of a fun summer, but some days you'd rather not resemble an above-ground pool of sweat. This mix was curated for all your lazy day indoor (with the A/C on) activities: cooking noodles, pursuing a newfound hobby in arts and crafts, snuggling in bed listening to the inevitable 3 o'clock storm. To avoid cabin fever, listen once daily, preferably with a meal and a bubble bath.
This month's mix was created by our art director, Shannon Nehiley.
