It's Friday and we have a collection of reviews to help you with your deliberations over which film to see this weekend. So hop on over to the Exclaim! Recently Reviewed section and find out which movies will keep you rapt at the edge of your seat.
First, check out what we have to say about Jackass 3-D, the third film in Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O's antic-filled Jackass franchise. Next, Hillary Swank is back as a working-class woman who is so convinced of her brother's (Sam Rockwell) innocence that she puts herself through law school in order to challenge his wrongful imprisonment in Conviction.
Then we have two films that will satisfy your thirst for tour de force performances. First there is Red, which stars Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and Brian Cox as a retired team of CIA agents who have reunited to foil an assassination plot. Second, a corn-rowed Edward Norton shares the screen with Robert DeNiro in Stone, directed by John Curran. DeNiro plays a retirement-ready parole officer with one last case, that of Gerald Creeson (Norton), who is in prison for murdering his grandparents and setting their house on fire.
We've also reviewed I Spit on Your Grave, a remake of the film by the same name that Roger Ebert famously called the "worst he'd ever seen." Is Steven R. Monroe's film a redemptive tale of feminist revenge or simply vicarious violent entertainment? And Clint Eastwood is back in the director's chair with the film Hereafter, starring Matt Damon, Cecile de France and Frankie and George McClaren as strangers who's lives inevitably intertwine over their own experiences with death and what comes next.
Lastly, be sure to check out what we think of Aaron Johnson's performance as a teenage John Lennon in Nowhere Boy, a film that tells the tale of the rock legend's formative years.

New film 'The Bitch: A Ladies Tribute to Metal' available now for free
Posted by Zenae Zukowski on November 27, 2020
Whether you're shopping online or feeling lazy on the couch, still recovering from yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner, there's a new film available now on YouTube, and it's completely free. Titled: The Bitch: A Ladies Tribute to Metal is a rockumentary film that takes a look at a monthly party ran at the legendary Don Hills Club in New York City's West Village. The 60-minute film explores the scene at the Don Hills Club in the early 2000s.
Read the description and watch the movie below:
"The Bitch Movie" is a 60 minute "Rockumentary" film that takes a retrospective look at the "Bitch: A Ladies Tribute To Metal" monthly party which ran at the legendary Don Hills Club in New York City's West Village. The Bitch night featured a house band playing classic rock and heavy metal cover songs featuring a rotating cast of electrifying female singers from the NY rock and metal scene. Take a time travel trip to downtown New York in the early 2000s where the film explores the origins, philosophy, sociology and technical execution of the event, painting a portrait of the vibrant scene around Don Hills Club. Through firsthand interviews and rare, exclusive footage of the live performances, (this was before cell phones and original footage was painstakingly retrieved and assembled from various analog tape sources) the film explores the motivations of a sample of the hundreds of women who participated and were passionate about singing heavy metal. "The Bitch Movie" is both a tribute to pioneering women who smash traditional stereotypes and Don Hill who fostered the club and a unique scene.
If you enjoyed the scene presented in the film and would like to support this spirit in the present day in NYC, the F*Bomb party at Arlene's Grocery both carry a similar torch! Arlene's is having a tough time getting through the pandemic, please consider supporting their GoFundMe so that the future of local NYC rock has a home!
The film is part of the NYC ROCKS TV Series which focuses on telling authentic NYC rock 'n roll stories. Produced and Directed by award winning filmmaker Damian Kolodiy and Edited by Damian Kolodiy and Sean P. Murphy. The trailer is immediately followed by the full film.

The Woman Bringing You Sex 52 Weeks a Year
By Leslie Nguyen-Okwu
Because life shouldn't stop when women's periods start.
It's that time of the month again. I've got 15 minutes to kill before my interview, so I dash into the nearest CVS, tiptoe to the feminine hygiene aisle and discreetly pluck a box of tampons from the shelf. Wouldn't want anyone to know!
But my monthly cycle isn't some covert operation, says Lauren Schulte. In fact, "we should be proud of our reproductive system," the 29-year-old entrepreneur tells OZY. We're sitting in a Venice Beach café near the headquarters of Flex, Schulte's feminine hygiene startup, which sprang from San Francisco's prestigious Y Combinator Fellowship and is backed by other startup accelerators in California, including Amplify.LA. And while you might picture the woman railing against the patriarchy of periods as radical, Schulte is a perky blonde with hazel eyes and arched eyebrows who wouldn't dare burn a bra. Indeed, she tells me, she grew up in a conservative Georgia household and didn't know where her "peehole" was until a couple of years ago.
Schulte is part of a new breed of entrepreneurial leading ladies who are steering the charge toward a menstrual product revival, brainstorming and building the next generation of period-wear. And while they're not going so far as to champion the "free bleeding" fad, their beef with tampons can be boiled down to three points: Tampons are clogging up landfills, they're a health problem and it's about time women shove all that period-shaming where the sun don't shine. The average woman uses 12,000 tampons throughout her lifetime — if you stacked them up, they'd be higher than the Empire State Building.
FLEX pitches itself toward mess-free period sex.

Schulte's alternative to the tyranny of tampons is a disc-shaped, long-wear device made from food-grade material that can be worn for 12 hours (unlike tampons or pads, which typically last four to eight hours). Called Flex, it costs $15 for a pack of three, pricier than your average box of tampons. Unlike many of its competitors, though, Flex is geared specifically toward mess-free period sex, a selling point that few companies can boast — and that few dare to touch. Both men and women have already done "test runs," if you will, with the new product. For 33-year-old Mateo Bueno, a strategist and marketer in San Francisco whose girlfriend tried Flex a few months ago, the little disc is changing the conversation around what was formerly a "do not enter" zone for men. "You catch women by surprise if you know something about their cycle," Bueno says.
Schulte's "anti-tampon" falls into step with the growing "hipster resurgence" of alternative feminine hygiene products, says Jennifer Conti, a gynecologist and obstetrician at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Lunapads are made of washable cloth, while the DivaCup, on the market since 2003, is an eco-friendly menstrual cup. This past year, Thinx launched with absorbent "period-proof" underwear. Some experts say this reset is long overdue: The modern-day tampon hasn't changed much since the 1930s, when, according to Tampax, it was inspired by the cotton plugs used in surgery. Products like Flex, which is slated to ship en masse this summer, could finally take the testosterone out of the mix: "It's been awhile coming," says Kristin Crosland at Experien Group, a consulting firm. As of now, tens of thousands of people have signed up on Flex's website, says Schulte, and the company is outpacing its original projections tenfold.

Schulte and her sisters in the menstrual-care alternatives market are trying to crack a hard nut. They're going head-to-head with Goliaths like Tampax, Kotex and Playtex, which hold a huge slice of the $15 billion feminine hygiene industry and are bent on maintaining the status quo. (A spokesperson for P&G, which makes Tampax, says the company "embrace[s] each women's choice to use whatever product she feels works best for her." It says that its tampons are safe and subject to strict FDA review, and that toxic-shock syndrome can occur with any product inserted into the vagina.)
Although DivaCup is carried at CVS and Thinx has sold 200,000 products, Schulte admits getting investors — who are mostly male and "blanch when discussing periods" — onboard the period product train has been tough. Plus, there are plenty of bureaucratic hurdles to clear to get Flex on shelves. Schulte is in the midst of registering with the Food and Drug Administration and undergoing biocompatibility testing to ensure safety, which is a seven-month process. Often, "it's like a big black box dealing with the FDA," says Crosland, who consults on her fair share of medical devices.
But even that seems unlikely to derail Schulte. As a girl, she dreamed of becoming the first female president, despite growing up in an evangelical household where, she says, "feminist" was an "F-word." Shortly after hitting puberty, Schulte was given a promise ring, to dissuade her from premarital sex, she says. What motivates her today is not conservative sways but her eagerness to push the boundaries in the oft-ignored corners of women's health. As she puts it, "it's been a strange journey."
Sitting across from this feisty feminist, I can't help but stare at her uterus — the one proudly displayed on her T-shirt. It's bold, it's artsy and it's her coat of arms as she leads the way toward the menstrual revolution. Clearly, she's not afraid of a little blood.

The craziest gambling wins of all time
There is no shortage of huge gambling wins throughout history, particularly in Vegas where massive slots jackpots are the norm. But then there are some gambling wins that make you do a double-take and think: "How the hell did that happen?" A bit like Mr Blobby hitting the top of the UK charts—it just doesn't make sense.
Here we take a look at some of those wins and ponder the meaning of life… and why nothing like this ever happens to us.
On a roll — Patricia Demauro
You'd be forgiven for thinking that the term 'on a roll' was coined by someone watching Patricia Demauro hit the craps table at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City back in 2009.
That's because she managed to completely obliterate the world record for most consecutive rolls at the craps table. The old record was set by Stanley Fujitake in 1989 when he rolled 118 times in three hours and six minutes.
Demauro's four-hour and 18-minute session saw her roll 154 times including 25 passes which put her in the 'Platinum Arm Club'. The club lists names of players who have played for over 90 minutes without 'sevening out'.
Demauro never revealed how much money she walked out of the casino with, but some estimates put it at around $180,000 (£130,000). Not a huge amount when you see some of the other wins on this list, but an impressive feat nonetheless.
Autopilot jackpot — Peter Hollan
Peter Hollan's love of online slot Arabian Nights saw him land a life-changing jackpot that is one of the largest ever paid out through an online casino. Incredibly though, he didn't even realise that he'd won.
Peter was playing Arabian Nights and decided to stick it on autoplay while he left the room for a few minutes. He returned to a screen telling him that he had somehow won the game's progressive jackpot. The jackpot was a cool €14 million (£11.8 million).
We're guessing that popping out to make a cup of tea is rarely spoken of as one of the ways to make money at an online casino, but it's certainly our new favourite.
All-in at the Palace — Player unidentified
In November of 1998 at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas a woman who had played the slots there for 23 years decided to go all-in with her slot machine budget. She put a full $100 into one random slot machine and picked up the jackpot.
Great win, but what makes this even more incredible is that the same woman continued to play at the casino and managed to bag another jackpot on the same day. In total, she had gambled around $300 before winning a mouth-watering $27.5 million (£16.2 million).
The woman understandably decided not to reveal her identity to the public but did say that she intended to share her winnings with her children and grandchildren. She also decided not to take the lump sum but to instead receive $1.1 million over 25 years. She'll receive her final payment in 2023.
The longest streak — Archie Karas
Karas has what you might call a chequered history when it comes to gambling. The man they call The Greek arrived in Vegas with $50 and within three years had put together the longest documented winning streak in history.
He hit the tables and through some good fortune and epic decision making, he was on a roll. He varied his games and never spent too long at one before switching things up. Within three years he had turned that $50 into $40 million.
Unfortunately, in the years since, he has landed himself in hot water with both the casinos and authorities for alleged cheating. Karas now finds himself in the dreaded black book of gamblers banned from all Vegas casinos.
With the exception of Karas who was a dab hand at razz and poker, the stories above just go to prove that some people are simply born lucky.

Q: referencing main subequation In the following example i labeled each subeqnation.
\begin{subequations}
  \begin{gather}
    R_0 = 0 \label{subeqn:ini-cond-r}  \\
    N_0 = 0 \label{subeqn:ini-cond-n}
  \end{gather}
\end{subequations}

then i could give as reference each equation separately.
What i would like to have, assuming the subequation numbers are 1.1a and 1.1b, is a reference to 1.1 or somehow that LaTeX will show the number 1.1 (It would be nice a solution with hyperref, since i already use it in my work)

A: You can put another label to subequations environment.
\begin{subequations}\label{refertothis}
  \begin{gather}
    R_0 = 0 \label{subeqn:ini-cond-r}  \\
    N_0 = 0 \label{subeqn:ini-cond-n}
  \end{gather}
\end{subequations}

Then, you can refer to the equation set via \eqref{refertothis}.

A: You can set an extra label inside the environment subequations but outside the inner math environment. So you will get reference to the parent counter.

Q: Rails: How to implement find* for an abstract class? I've got a legacy DB where two rather similar object types are stored in different tables, with different columns and relations. There's a parent class used for bridging the gap, but I'm at a bit of a loss how to implement it to emulate the child classes. Ideally, methods like find_all_by_* should run on both subclasses and return all the results in a single array. Is there some canonical way to do this, simpler than copying the code of find?

A: Okay, interesting question. Not sure if there's a better solution than this, but I'd use a bit of method missing magic.
class MyVirtualModel

  def respond_to?(method, include_private = false)
    if method.to_s =~ /^find.*/
      RealModel1.respond_to?(method, include_private) && RealModel2.respond_to?(method, include_private?)
    else
      false
    end
  end

  def method_missing(method, *arguments, &block)
    if method.to_s =~ /^find.*/
      resultset1 = RealModel1.send(method, arguments)
      resultset2 = RealModel2.send(method, arguments)
      return resultset1 + resultset2
    end
  end

Q: First variation of a integral Functional Given the Functional $$V(x_1(t),x_2(t))=\int_0^1\left(e^{x_1(t)-x_2(t)}-e^{x_1(t)+x_2(t)}\right)dt$$
I'm asked to find the first variation of the functional..
I tried it like this , considering
$$F(x_1(t),x_2(t))=e^{x_1(t)-x_2(t)}-e^{x_1(t)+x_2(t)}$$
then $$\begin{align}\delta V(x_1(t),x_2(t))=\int_0^1\frac{\partial F}{\partial x_1(t)}\delta x_1(t)+\frac{\partial F}{\partial x_2(t)}\delta x_2(t)&\\=\int_0^1\left\{\left(e^{x_1(t)-x_2(t)}-e^{x_1(t)+x_2(t)}\right)\cdot \delta x_1(t)+\left(-e^{x_1(t)-x_2(t)}-e^{x_1(t)+x_2(t)}\right)\cdot \delta x_2(t)\right\}dt \end{align}$$
is it correct ? or i'm doing something wrong ?


Focus Features unveiled the official trailer for upcoming film "Boy Erased", directed by Australian actor Joel Edgerton.
The film stars Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. Also, Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan appears on the film.
The movie is based on Garrard Conley's memoir "Boy Erased: A Memoir", which was published in 2016. Garrard Conley recounted his childhood in a fundamentalist Arkansas family who enrolled him in conversion therapy.
Garrard Conley was enrolled in a Love in Action ex-gay program, and recounts the harm he was subjected to there in the name of curing his sexuality. He recounts the months of counseling he underwent followed by a two-week intensive intervention.
Conley's hope is that his story will expose ex-gay groups and gay conversion therapy programs as lacking in compassion and more likely to cause harm than cure anything, especially when participants are told, as he was, that they are "unfixable and disgusting over and over again".
Lucas Hedges played as Garrard Conley, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe played as Conley's parents. Joel Edgerton played as the head therapist.
For Joel Edgerton, the film is his second directing feature film following 2015's "The Gift".
The film is scheduled to be released on November 2, 2018.
Garrard (Lucas Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, is outed to his parents (Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) as gay at the age of 19. Garrard is quickly pressured into attending a gay conversion therapy program – or else be shunned by his family, friends, and church. It is within the program that Garrard comes into conflict with its head therapist (Joel Edgerton).

Planet first. People first.
Together with our community and partners, we're taking action and making productive choices for our planet and humanity.
Hannah Cordes
Today, the world is facing an unprecedented number of crises and disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. From supply chain disruptions and rising inflation to shortages in food and energy supply, serious challenges lie ahead.
We have always believed that technology can help some of humanity's greatest challenges – for example by providing the foundation for an interconnected world that can enable abundance to spread. ThreeFold has focused on developing a more reliable Internet which can meet the demands and challenges of the future. A more sustainable Internet that uses less energy and is offsetting its carbon emissions by supporting tree planting and other impact initiatives. And an Internet that empowers us with digital sovereignty while providing high levels of privacy and security. One that is inclusive by being more affordable and accessible.
Our mission is planet first and people first.
🔗The planet and people are at the heart of our movement
Without our planet, humanity has no home. Without our planet, we can't survive. The fate of humanity depends on the planet's health. We need a healthy planet for humanity to thrive. And our planet needs regenerative solutions at a large scale that combat climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. That includes the Internet and everything that lives on top.
ThreeFold aims to deliver on our promise of providing better solutions for our planet and people through our technology. With this approach, we're taking action and making productive choices for our planet and humanity. Our journey is shaped by the determination to drive the regeneration of our planet and to enable a better life for people.
"Today billions of people don't have access to the internet because of their station of birth. On one hand, it is unfair to them, and on the other, the world is losing billions of inventors and talents. Our internet can scale to anywhere electricity and network exist to provide access to the internet, education, and financial inclusion to everyone." – Kristof de Spiegeleer
Our approach is also based on community and connection. We're determined to build better, sustainable and inclusive systems for the planet and people – from realizing the Internet of Internets on a global scale to reimagining business, governance, finance, education and more in order to provide better alternatives for people, enterprises and governments. And we are in dialogue and partnership with global leaders who share a similar vision.
Here are three examples of the impact we're creating together:
Together with Take Action Global, we're offsetting the ThreeFold Grid's emissions three times through planting and protecting trees
Together with IETSA, we're making the decentralized Internet more accessible in underserved South African communities while also providing education in blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies
Together with Solidaridad, we're working on the Fair Data initiative to enable a fair data economy
🔗Driving change towards the future we want to live in
We strongly believe in the ThreeFold Law which states that any good you do will return to you threefold in this lifetime. By making our technology actionable, we energize a collective approach towards a single mission – empowering humanity while regenerating our planet.
We're aware that this mission is a big one. We're aware how aspirational it is. We're aware that we are not perfect. And we realize that changing the world for the better requires patience and community. We're in it for the long run and we're in it together.
"It's an honor every day to wake up and be a part of a global movement of people who are trying to build a better Internet for humanity that can uplift and empower." – Adnan Fatayerji
ThreeFold is more than a company or a project. ThreeFold is a global movement consisting of like-minded individuals and partners who share these values and vision. A movement united in our shared beliefs in open source, peer-to-peer, equality and inclusion. By coming together to build a better Internet, we can create the foundation for a better world. We're incredibly proud of the ThreeFold community and ecosystem. This beautiful community consists of open-minded, passionate and determined people from all around the world, just like you. We're dreamers, creators, builders and change makers.
🔗We are part of the solution
There are many great projects and organizations out there that also follow the planet-first people-first philosophy. Like Ecosia – the search engine that plants trees and thereby positively impacts ecosystems, communities and our planet. Like ShareTheMeal – the world's first app against global hunger that enables you to 'share the meal' with a child in need with one simple tap on your phone. Like Patagonia – a designer of outdoor clothing and sports gear that turned into an environmental activist. And like so many others.
Together, we can achieve the extraordinary. The ThreeFold movement is building our own future through the Internet of Internets – an Internet that will be made up of hundreds, thousands, and ultimately millions, of interconnected local Internets that enables us all to directly connect and exchange without limitations or intermediaries. No matter what you do to support planet-first people-first movements, thank you. In doing so, you're making a difference. You're contributing to making the world a better place.
With ThreeFold, anyone anywhere can make a difference. For a better life, for a better future.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
If you're new to ThreeFold and don't know you to contribute best, here are a few ways to take action:

THE ETHICS OF FREEMASONRY
MASONIC IDEALS
HARMONY IN FREEMASONRY
Freemasonry is an attempt to organize harmony, and therefore it is essential that all its arrangements for the promotion of concord should be of the most perfect character and most delicately adjusted. Whatever tends in the least degree to produce disagreement and discord, to cause a jarring and clashing among the elements composing the society, or any of its branches, must have a tendency to defeat the purposes of the Institution, must in itself be destructive of the spirit of Masonry, and must be something foreign to that spirit, something not to be cultivated, but to be avoided by Masons. Masons are supposed by the profane to be religiously devoted to the maintenance among themselves of harmonic principles, and this supposition is based upon the professions which Masons and Masonic writers and advocates have ever made to the world. The supposition is well-grounded, and the profession does not exaggerate the intention of all true Masons. – The Masonic Monthly, February 1867

I wrote a number of articles in THE VIEW some time back on writing custom Sametime blackboxes (see the March/April and May/June 2008 issues). If you implemented the Sametime blackbox that read data from Lotus Connections (like it's done on bleedyellow.com) and you have upgraded (or are planning to upgrade) to Lotus Connections 2.0 this post is for you.
The database schema for Lotus Connections 2.0 has changed slightly in comparison with Lotus Connections 1.0.x so if you're using a custom Sametime blackbox to read data from Lotus Connections it needs to be changed. The only thing that needs to change is the SQL since the key column in the EMPINST.PHOTO table has been renamed from PROF_UID to PROF_KEY (hightlighted in the SQL below).
SELECT EMPL.PROF_UID UID, PROF_DISPLAY_NAME DSP_NAME, PROF_MAIL_LOWER EMAIL, PROF_MOBILE MOBILE, PROF_PAGER PAGER, PROF_TITLE TITLE, PROF_TIMEZONE TIMEZONE, PROF_TELEPHONE_NUMBER PHONE, PROF_BLOG_URL BLOG_URL, EMPL.PROF_DEPARTMENT_NUMBER DEPT_NO, DEPT.PROF_DEPARTMENT_TITLE DEPT_NAME, EMPL.PROF_ORGANIZATION_IDENTIFIER ORG_IDENT, ORG.PROF_ORGANIZATION_TITLE ORG_NAME, EMPL.PROF_ISO_COUNTRY_CODE CTRY_ISOCODE, CTRY.PROF_COUNTRY_DESC CTRY_NAME, P.PROF_IMAGE PHOTO_BYTES, P.PROF_FILE_TYPE PHOTO_MIMETYPE FROM EMPINST.EMPLOYEE EMPL LEFT OUTER JOIN EMPINST.PHOTO P ON EMPL.PROF_KEY=P.PROF_KEY LEFT OUTER JOIN EMPINST.DEPARTMENT DEPT ON EMPL.PROF_DEPARTMENT_NUMBER=DEPT.PROF_DEPARTMENT_CODE LEFT OUTER JOIN EMPINST.COUNTRY CTRY ON EMPL.PROF_ISO_COUNTRY_CODE=CTRY.PROF_ISO_COUNTRY_CODE LEFT OUTER JOIN EMPINST.ORGANIZATION ORG ON EMPL.PROF_ORGANIZATION_IDENTIFIER=ORG.PROF_ORGANIZATION_CODE WHERE EMPL.PROF_MAIL_LOWER=?

I'm happy to say that my newest article is online at THE VIEW website. The article is on managing and provisioning lotus.domino.Session objects to plug-ins in Sametime Connect 7.5.1 – a subject that's a little tricky due to the native code underneath the Notes/Domino Java API and due to the way that classloaders work in Sametime Connect/Expeditor.
For the ones who's already on Sametime 7.5.1 please see the errata (https://lekkimworld.com/theview_sametime).
Take the mystery out of providing multiple Notes sessions from Sametime Connect. Plug-in developers find that running multiple Sametime plug-ins that access Notes at the same time is tricky; the reasons are due to how the Sametime 7.5 Java application-programming interface (API) differs from the one Notes uses, and how Java class-loaders load native library code on Windows. The solution provided in this article uses a bundled group of plug-ins, invisible to connect users, for managing lotus.domino.Session objects across other plug-ins. You also learn how to achieve fast plug-in deployments with automatic Connect configuration, plus easier plug-in maintenance. The solution code is available for download at THE VIEW Web site.

Q: Redux saga race effect in pure javascript In redux saga we have race effect where we can pass named promises:
const { a, b } = yield race({     // will resolve if one of them resolves
   a: call(somePromise),
   b: call(somePromise2),
});

if (a) {
  // do something because "a" resolved
}

if (b) {
  // do something because "b" resolved
}

Question: Is there a way to implement such thing in pure javascript?
const { a, b } = Promise.race({
   a: somePromise1,
   b: somePromise2,
});

but this will fail because Promise.race accepts only arrays. Is there a way to make it work as redux saga?

Those are great lessons to learn. I agree with so many of them and recognizing our own accomplishments is hard sometimes. Something I can work on, especially when I feel overwhelmed.
These are great things to learn! It takes some people YEARS to learn these.
Thank you! I'm sure there are more and I'll keep learning them as I go. What's one thing you learned at work?
I learned that loyalty goes a long way!
great lessons! I did a similar post haha! I still struggle with a lot of these, I need to keep them in mind!
Thank you! I had this written in my "idea book" that I keep with me when I'm reading, so I probably stole this idea from you and didn't realize it because I wrote it down so long ago haha. <3 Will totally credit!
I've worked in some of the best work environments and the worst. Being able to identify if you need to stay or leave is a super important part…to both your mental health and the place of business. Because if you're not happy, it's most likely showing.
It really is a heartbreaking yet crucial decision to make. I'm glad you're doing something that makes you happy now!


Elizabeth graduated in December from the college with an associate degree in applied science for her professional photography studies. A short-term goal is an internship at a newspaper; long term, a career as a photojournalist or documentary photographer.
"With the alternative processes, you can see someone's hand at work. It's a very personal way of creating a photograph."
The difference is not always skill. Success as a pro shooter takes talent, but, as Rosanne Pennella says, "there are many excellent photographers who cannot make a name for themselves because they cannot figure out how to market themselves and project mastery of their careers."

'Walking Dead' Star Reveals Who He Wants to Play Real Lucille
Walking Dead Star Reveals Who He Wants to Play Real Lucille
TVweb Contributor
Even casual fans of AMC's The Walking Dead likely know that the villainous Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan named his barbed-wire bat Lucille, but those who aren't familiar with the comic books may not know why. The bat that killed off fan favorite characters Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) was named after Negan's late wife, which is revealed in the comics. While it isn't known yet if the series ma feature the Negan character's late wife in a flashback series of some sort, Jeffrey Dean Morgan revealed in a recent interview that if it does happen, he knows just who should play her.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan made an appearance over the weekend at the Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta, where the hit zombie series is filmed, where he was asked about the idea of Negan's wife being used for a flashback scene. While he wouldn't confirm if there are actually plans for this scene to take place, the actor knows just who should play the real Lucille, his real wife, actress Hilarie Burton. Here's what Jeffrey Dean Morgan had to say about who should play the wife of Negan at the convention below.
"If we ever film that, I would go with my wife. I'm gonna say her cause I'll need a place to go after this is over. Hilarie read the comic books and is as much invested in it as we all are. She's said, 'Jeff, could you put in a word for me?'"
Negan's backstory was tackled in the "Here's Negan" comic miniseries, where it was revealed that Lucille died after fighting cancer. He had to kill her after she turned into a walker, showing that he still did have some decency and humanity before te became the sadistic leader of The Saviors that we have come to know. As for Hilarie Burton, the actress is best known for her stint on One Tree Hill, Extant and most recently Lethal Weapon, along with her time as a VJ on MTV.
Last year, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan and the Saviors broke our group. Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors. This year, Rick brings "All Out War" to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless -- but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom, Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.

Q: How can I find all non-executable files in a directory in Linux? What option should be used in find command in Linux for listing non executable file in directory?

A: Depends on your definition of executable, in this context.
If you mean files that you (current user) are allowed to execute, then you can use something like this (finds non-executable regular files; no directories)
find . -type f ! -executable

If instead, you mean files which have the +x permission set (for their owner or group or everyone), then i believe you want something like this (finds regular files; no directories; which do not have u+x, g+x nor o+x)
find . -type f ! -perm /0111

Mexico City, Parched and Sinking, Faces a Water Crisis via NYTimes
Climate change is threatening to push a crowded capital toward a breaking point.
By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN @ New York Times
MEXICO CITY — On bad days, you can smell the stench from a mile away, drifting over a nowhere sprawl of highways and office parks.
When the Grand Canal was completed, at the end of the 1800s, it was Mexico City's Brooklyn Bridge, a major feat of engineering and a symbol of civic pride: 29 miles long, with the ability to move tens of thousands of gallons of wastewater per second. It promised to solve the flooding and sewage problems that had plagued the city for centuries.
Only it didn't, pretty much from the start. The canal was based on gravity. And Mexico City, a mile and a half above sea level, was sinking, collapsing in on itself.
It still is, faster and faster, and the canal is just one victim of what has become a vicious cycle. Always short of water, Mexico City keeps drilling deeper for more, weakening the ancient clay lake beds on which the Aztecs first built much of the city, causing it to crumble even further.

It is sad to think that such beautiful and economically-wise country such as Mexico has been suffering from water crisis. I guess, all countries have been suffering from different economic problems. But if a certain problem has been left unattended and the problems are not being solved, then the crisis starts. This is the reason why leaders of Mexico should find a way to solve this water crisis because if not, a lot of people are going to suffer and lives might be affected too!


The holidays are generally a time of celebration and family togetherness. So why are you thinking about a divorce now, of all times? If you are considering a divorce after the holidays, you are not alone. In fact, this is one of the most common times of the year for people to decide their marriages are over.
Divorce experts told USA TODAY that, in addition to the end of summer, divorce filings peak in March - a time when people are beginning to unwind from the stress and excitement of the holidays. You may have been unhappy in your marriage for years, or something this year finally could have made you decide it is all over. For whatever reason, the end of the holiday period also signified the end of some things, but also the start of something new.
Stress and arguments during this busy time of year finally leading to the "last straw"
As you already know, there is no right or wrong time to decide to file for divorce. The beginning of the year can be a good time to start planning for your future, however, now that you do not have holiday shopping and planning at the front of your mind.

Indian swimmer Virdhawal Khade awaits Commonwealth Glory
By Vardan Pandhare
Virdhawal won a Gold and Silver at the 49th Singapore National Swimming Championships|The youngster from Kolhapur has a Asian Games medal
Indian swimmer Virdhawal Khade, who had become youngest swimmer from our nation to qualify for Olympics in 2008 at the age of 16, has already won a bronze medal at 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. However, his dream is to also see the Indian flag flying high swimming event of 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The young Indian swimmer is gung-ho for the Gold Coast Games
The youngster from Kolhapur has a Asian Games medal, but Commonwealth Glory awaits.
Young Indian swimmer Virdhawal Khade, who is gearing up for Commonwealth Games 2018, says the Gold Coast event will give him a sense of his preparations for the challenging Asian Games ahead.
"I will be participating in the Commonwealth Games in 50m freestyle and butterfly. Training has been going very well since the past few months and I am keeping an eye on medal at the Asian Games 2018. I am sure the XXI Commonwealth Games will give me a good platform to test myself and prepare for the Asian Games," Khade told PTI.
Virdhawal Khade, who hails from Kolhapur in Maharashtra, added that he is very positive for a podium finish at the 2018 Asian Games.
"I am very positive about winning a medal in Jakarta. Training has been going well and it's a matter of only a few microseconds which I am positive of shaving off in the coming months to get into the medal bracket," said the 26-year-old.
According to Khade, improving by less than half a second in both his pet events will fetch him a second medal at the Continental games.
Khade, a government officer, had taken a break from his training due to his posting in coastal Konkan region of the state and admits that it becomes difficult to cover the lost ground.
Asked how he was able to cope up after the break, he said, "Taking a big break from a sport is definitely not ideal. It has been difficult to cover up lost ground and then improve from there. But in the past few weeks things have been very positive for me. Training has been going well and I feel I will be at my best ever at the Asian Games."
Indian Swimmer Khade wins Gold – Preparation on track for 2018 CWG
Virdhawal won a Gold and Silver at the 49th Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships.
The lad from Kolhapur continued his winning streak as he managed to win the Gold medal at the ongoing 49th Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships in the 50 metres freestyle event. Khade faced a host of international swimmers in the finals but managed to emerge as the victor.
"This was a good place to start. It always feels great winning for the country. Honestly, I expected a faster time, but I'll take this. There was a lot to learn from all the races in Singapore, and I know I can improve so much more in the coming months," Khade told said to PTI.
The Indian swimmer followed up that win, with a Silver medal in the 50 metres freestyle in the same category to end the outing on a positive note. He has now set his sights on the upcoming 2018 CWG in Gold Coast where he will be part of the Indian swimming team.
"I have been training in Bangalore for five months now. Things have been on track and I have been swimming competitions to prepare myself for the Games,"
"My timings have been good and improving consistently, and at this point I feel it is all about staying injury-free and doing what I have been doing in the past months, as it seems to be helping me get better," Khade added.
It has been learnt that the Swimming Federation of India has also selected Shrihari Nartaj and Sajan Prakash apart from Virdhawal Khade to represent India at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Climate's impact on agriculture could lead to calamity
Widespread hunger and poverty are predicted unless strategies are developed to cope with the drop in crop yields climate change will cause. LONDON, 22 December, 2014 – New research predicts that climate change will transform agriculture, with a drop in yields of up to 18% by 2050 in terms of calories harvested. By then, the global population will have risen by more than 18%, so the consequences could be calamitous. That's the worst projected outcome. By the same date, the researchers say, yields in terms of calories could have risen by 3%, but that would still mean widespread hunger and poverty. The difference in projected outcomes may say more about the sheer complexity of global agriculture and the uncertainties of the future than anything else. David Leclère, a researcher at the International Institute for Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, and colleagues report in the journal Environmental Research Letters that they used computer simulations to explore nine different climate scenarios and their impact on 18 selected crops and four crop management systems.

They also factored in human adaptations that might be necessary, chief among them being new management systems for water and for irrigation. Also explored were the benefits of a warmer world − some temperate regions will certainly become more productive – as well as the fertilisation effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They had to balance these against the expectation of extremes of heat, which can affect yield, and the overall change in rainfall patterns expected with climate change. This is already having an effect on productivity, they say, and things will get worse.
"The challenge we face is to find a strategy that fits a hundred scenarios at the same time"
"Yields of major crops will decrease in low latitude areas even under a local increase in temperature below 2°C, and worldwide losses are expected for larger temperature increases," the study warns. "This will precipitate significant adjustments throughout the global food supply chain." In a large part of the world, demand for irrigation may grow by as much as 25%. Since, over the centuries, agriculture has been adapted very precisely to local climate patterns, and since climate models aren't precise enough to predict quite where precipitation will change, there is still a great deal of uncertainty. The new research explores this uncertainty, and how humans and their economies will cope. "Our new study is the first to examine at a global scale whether the adaptations required from agricultural systems are in the transformational range, and whether these transformations are robust across certain plausible scenarios," says Dr Leclère.
"By looking at where, when, why and which transformations are required, but also in how many scenarios, it lays the groundwork for countries to better plan for the impacts of climate change." Agriculture has always adapted. How well it can adapt to global climate change depends not just on temperature and rainfall and the choice of crops, but also on international trade and on the decisions governments may take. Computer models are a way of helping analysts think about a choice of possible outcomes, across a wide range of cultures and climates. "Our models show that there is an effective global adaptation strategy to any single climate change scenario," says Petr Havlik, an IIASA researcher, who is one of the report's authors. "The challenge we face is to find a strategy that fits a hundred scenarios at the same time." – Climate News Network

[One of my followers sent me this fascinating note. He had indeed found something I was looking for. Here's his note. You can download the PDF as I did. This relates to the Temple of Solomon article which I had found as a result of my diggings into the sources for The Great Jewish Mask.
I should add, that IF Jesus existed, then the answer to what race he might have been might be as per below. But keep in mind that Jesus might never have actually existed. Do not take it as "a scientific fact" that Jesus actually existed as a real person. That is a whole different line of questioning.
In The Great Jewish Mask I had mentioned The Temple of Solomon and the article that mentioned Jewish art and how absolutely pathetic it was. It was in this magazine that I found the exact quote, word for word that was used in The Great Jewish Mask in 1936.
In this magazine you'll also find the full copy of The Temple of Solomon article. This magazine has many articles about Christianity, the Bible and even evidence of human sacrifice found in Israel.
I should mention that Christians do some things without really questioning it carefully. There is for example the time when they have bread and wine in Church and when they "drink the blood of Christ" and "eat" of his body. These may be references to human sacrifice and cannibalism that has found its way into the Christianity and yet Christians never ask themselves why they are "drinking the blood of Christ".
Just finished listening to your four part series, The Great Jewish Masque. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for all of the hard work and effort you put into your videos and web sites. I think it was in part four of the series, you referenced an article from a 1909 issue of the the magazine, The Open Court. The article was entitled, The Temple of Solomon, by Phillips Osgood. As a side remark you mentioned an article title in that same issue that was listed in the table of contents, titled, Was Jesus an Aryan? and you expressed your desire to read that article but your copy of The Open Court only included the front cover and The Temple of Solomon article. If you are interested, I found a pdf copy of that issue of the magazine at archive.org that includes the article about Jesus. The link is https://archive.org/details/opencourt_aug1909caru. It's a very short article consisting of only three paragraphs. Hope that helps a little.
Here, from page 504 of the PDF is the article.
In our opinion, there can be no question but Jesus was a Galilean by birth.
the Galileans were a people of mixed blood.
[T[The above images of Fake Jesus and Real Jesus come from a modern scientific study of what Jesus would have looked like, based on what we know.
So in conclusion of the author above, if Jesus existed then he would have had a bit of Aryan blood in him, but he could not have been a pure Aryan (white). So by South African standards Jesus would have been some type of coloured.
← VERY IMPORTANT: An EXTREMELY weird fact about Zuma's resignation – Who came to scare him?


I have decided to pick up and read a decade old book, Transforming Congregational Culture, by Anthony B. Robinson.* As I move through this book, I intend to write a few posts along the way about either quotes that resonate with me, or about pieces I see that have especially changed (good or bad) since Robinson wrote this.
I am not going to focus on the idea of the other here. (That is something that you will no doubt see as this blog continues, being an important piece to understand in a theology of neighbor love.) Rather, I am going to focus on the role of the church and the identity of the individual.
When facing someone who is different than you, someone who holds a different perspective or understanding, in order to converse with them on a deeper level, you are forced to come to terms with: 1) who you are; 2) what do you think?; 3) what do you believe?; and perhaps the more important question, 4) why do you think and believe that?
Mainline congregations have not done so well in preparing people to answer these questions and Robinson was recognizing this in 2003. Now that it is 2013, I believe this is still a challenge the church as a whole struggles mightily with. But particular congregations and contexts have come up with unique ways to address this. They do so with one definite similarity in my mind, a goal of depth. To tackle such questions as "who are you? and "what do you think?" requires an ability for one to open themselves up and be vulnerable, but also to dive deep below the surface into who we are and what we believe. For some congregations this is part of a "Faith Formation" program, ministry, or vision. For other congregations, this is part of an "Animate" or a "Build Your Own Personal Theology" program. For others, this is part of their understanding of stewardship and vocation. There does not seem to be necessarily a "one size fits all approach," and I actually think that is a good thing.
The important fact is that more and more congregations recognize this. To really engage with the stranger or neighbor, whether its someone who is "like us" or not, who might share similarities in some ways or not, we have to have a sense of the depth of who we are. Otherwise, that relationship and connection with one another will never get past the surface.
Depth matters. Some congregations have figured this out. Others I fear are so focused on doing things, and perhaps way too many things, that only breadth seems to matter. But what good is breadth, if its all left at the surface?
My gut reaction is that each of these things must be forced to answer the question of depth, "why do we do what we do?" so we can better articulate who we are, both for ourselves and for others.

Due to the close genetic relationship between nonhuman primates and humans, disease causing organisms are easily exchanged between them. The pathogens that can be passed from nonhuman primates to humans and vice versa include bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. They may be spread by bites, scratches, handling animals or their tissues, airborne transmission of aerosols and droplets, ingestion, and arthropod vectors. Often the nonhuman primate carries and transmits disease without any visible signs. Persons in contact with these animals must always be aware of the potential risks involved. This is especially true when animals are under stress, such as those that have been recently shipped or introduced into a new situation, or have developed a recent illness. As with many communicable diseases, immunocompromised persons are at greatest risk for infection or serious consequences from such infections.
Nonhuman primates can be divided into several groups; old world monkeys, new world monkeys and others (see Attachment 1 for some scientific and common names). These groupings have significance when it comes to the kinds of diseases they can contract and transmit. For instance, one of the most serious diseases that humans can get from monkeys is caused by Herpesvirus simiae virus (B virus, Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) that is enzootic among old world monkeys of the genus Macaca (macaques). Fortunately, most pet monkeys in this country are new world species and are bred in this country. Federal regulations prohibit importation of primates except for scientific, educational, and exhibition purposes. Importers must be registered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and must hold a special permit to import cynomolgus, rhesus or African green monkeys. Unfortunately, animals may sometimes be smuggled into the country or "adopted" from research facilities.
SELECTED ZOONOTIC DISEASES OF INTEREST (more in Attachment 2)
Nonhuman primate rabies is rarely reported in this country and with one exception has always occurred in animals that were recently imported from rabies endemic areas. The one exception occurred after a dog bit a pet monkey in 1911 during a dog rabies epidemic in Florida. Free ranging, macaque monkeys that have been introduced into Florida's Ocala Springs area, where raccoon rabies is endemic, have never been diagnosed with rabies. Between 1957 (the beginning of the raccoon rabies outbreak in Florida) and 1974 more than 640 nonhuman primates were tested for rabies in Florida.
B Virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1)
Up to 90% of adult macaques can be carriers of B-virus; most are asymptomatic, but some can have localized oral lesions. In humans the infection presents as a rapidly ascending encephalomyelitis with a fatality rate of about 70%. Most of the 25 well-documented cases of human infection have occurred in laboratory animal handlers who were somehow directly inoculated with tissue or fluid from a monkey via a bite, scratch, needlestick or laboratory injury. Although experimentally infected new world monkeys develop fatal disease and could conceivably become infected by contact with macaques, under most circumstances bites to humans from new world monkeys should not raise concern about this deadly disease because it is not endemic among new world monkeys. The attached article,Recommendations for Prevention of and Therapy for Exposure to B Virus (Cercopithecine Herpesvirus 1)(seeAttachment 3) was published November 15, 2002, in Clinical Infectious Diseases, gives details on prevention and treatment following exposure to a macaque. (http://www.cdc.gov/herpesbvirus/index.html)
Nonhuman primates are very susceptible to infection from mycobacteria tuberculosis (TB) and can contract it from humans or other animals. Primates from environments where human TB is prevalent are at greatest risk for having the disease. During the 31 day quarantine of legally imported primates, a minimum of three tuberculin skin tests are performed and positive animals are destroyed. Illegally imported monkeys and those raised and sold as pets in the US may not be appropriately tested and could be infected.
Local Wound Infections
Approximately 224 strains of bacteria have been identified in human and animal saliva-contaminated wounds. The organisms most often encountered in the mouths of rhesus monkeys are the Neisseria species, alpha hemolytic streptococci, and Haemophilus parainfluenza. In addition, the attending physician should be notified of the possibility of infection with Eikenella corrodens, a facultative anaerobe associated with human and nonhuman primate bites, that cause extensive tissue damage.
Enteric Diseases
These are spread via the fecal oral route and cause similar symptoms in humans and nonhuman primates. The more common agents include bacteria (Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter), protozoan parasites (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Amoeba, Balantidia), and helminth parasites (Strongyloides).
Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)
SIV is closely related to HIV-1 and HIV-2 (causes of AIDS) and causes an AIDS-like illness in macaque monkeys; it may be asymptomatic in other species. There have been no reports of human illness, but there are research workers who developed antibodies to SIV after handling laboratory specimens.
Marburg and Ebola (Filoviruses)
Humans have developed illness from Marburg infection when exposed to tissues from African Green monkeys. The Ebola viruses from the Sudan and Zaire have not been isolated from monkeys. A different Ebola virus was discovered in 1995 in West Africa chimpanzees when a researcher became infected. The Ebola virus that caused an outbreak in a Reston, Virginia monkey quarantine facility, did not cause illness in any humans, but four animal handlers developed antibodies to the virus. These incidents remind us of the potential for as yet undiscovered human pathogens to be introduced by wild caught monkeys.
Nonhuman primates are more likely to contract hepatitis A, measles, or poliomyelitis from humans or as part of a laboratory experiment than to transmit these diseases to humans. However, once infected with these diseases, primates pose a risk to the humans with which they are in contact.

Capital Market Liberalization and Development
Edited by José Antonio Ocampo and Joseph E. Stiglitz
Initiative for Policy Dialogue
Written by leading academics and policymakers with varying viewpoints of the debate
Provides an analysis of the risks associated with Capital Market Liberalization and examines the alternative forms of capital market intervention
Highly topical, controversial and accessibly written
Capital market liberalization has been a key battle in the debate on globalization for much of the previous two decades. Many developing countries, often at the behest of international financial institutions such as the IMF, opened their capital accounts and liberalized their domestic financial markets as part of the wave of liberalization that characterized the 1980s and 1990s and in doing so exposed their economies to increased risk and volatility. Now with even the IMF acknowledging the risks inherent in capital market liberalization, the central intellectual battle over the effects of capital market liberalization has for the most part ended. Though this new understanding of the consequences of capital market liberalization is reshaping many policy discussions among academics and international institutions, ideological and vested interests remain.
Critical policy debates also remain, such as how much government should intervene and what tools are available. Although capital market liberalization might not produce the promised benefits, many economists and policymakers still worry about the costs of intervention. Do these costs exceed the benefits? What are the best kinds of interventions, under what circumstances? To answer these questions, we have to understand why capital market liberalization has failed to enhance growth, why it has resulted in greater instability, why the poor appear to have borne the greatest burden, and why the advocates of capital market liberalization were so wrong. Bringing together some of the leading researchers and practitioners in the field, this volume provides an analysis of both the risks associated with capital market liberalization and the alternative policy options available to enhance macroeconomic management.

Here's a rather good blog from Oxford macro-economist, Simon Wren-Lewis.
Source: First Stage Reality and Brexiters – Mainly Macro – Simon Wren-Lewis
Wren-Lewis speculates that we're headed for a very soft Brexit. For me, it's too early to call. But I do agree with Wren-Lewis, don't trust the political classes to explain the truth.
Look to hard-evidence and professional risk analysis not political chancers. The bottom line is that whether it's a hard-Brexit or very soft Brexit, the economic costs will be enormous for generations and the gains will be nebulous in the extreme. The damage is done. Now we must look to the major political parties and how they sell the pup to the UK public. I fear Labour will have more credibility and apart from weaker property prices, highly leveraged UK consumers will need to bargain on eye-watering tax increases.

Source: Most people do not believe the Tories are on their side. My party has to change | Phillip Lee | Opinion | The Guardian
Whilst there's nothing fundamentally wrong with this article, it's far too weak in my view. With Boris Johnson about to make a leadership bid, the Conservative Party is once again dominated by 'traditional conservatives', and the radical reformers are in the wilderness. So far, the Cameron/May years have been squandered, with the rich and privileged going from strength to strength.
I've always been a one-nation conservative in the Disraeli tradition but my left-wing friends tell me that one-nation tories are rare beasts these days.
Personally, I can't see the Conservative Party appealing to younger voters in the next election. But the first step is surely a new leader, with the appeal to win the younger vote?
