Rachel: Where do you begin with someone who comes to you with pain or discomfort playing issues?
Sophie: The first thing I do is to give them tools to get out of the pain as fast as possible and the specific understanding of why the old movements are damaging. Very often with playing injuries, what started as pain only at the instrument becomes extremely pervasive. If it is in one place it will be there all the time not just when playing and often it can radiate to other parts of the body, becoming a complex web of issues. First they have some of the fundamental Taubman movements away from the instrument that relieve the pain and allow them to begin to put into the body the correct information. Then we do what I call "24 hour practice" which is not playing or touching the instrument! Usually when someone is injured, they use the same injurious movements in multiple activities throughout the day that are nothing to do with playing. There is no point in giving them movements to relieve the pain if they then re-injure themselves during the rest of the day. So we look at all their activities and slowly clean out all injurious movements.
Rachel: Do you observ e changes in how your students approach the music? What are these changes? Sophie: Yes. There is a limit to what the brain can do at one time, so when we are in pain or struggling with the instrument we cannot listen to the same the degree, so just being out of pain means that our ability to listen increases enormously. In addition, having specific physical tools attached to the musical demands of color, tone, dynamics, articulation etc takes the mystery out of how to create the sounds we want. A good analogy is the magician. His trick is perfectly worked out, he knows all the details of how to create what is a magical illusion. If he just got up and had magical thoughts, the trick would not work, knowledge and skills that are invisible to the audience enable him to produce magic. We need that same degree of physical knowledge to produce the magic in the music. Giving people that knowledge allows them to use their imaginations and bring their musicianship to new levels.
Rachel: What do you find different in teaching and learning this way?
Sophie: One result of Edna Golandsky's work with what Dorothy Taubman discovered, has been the development of a very precise pedagogy, which includes the language used and the way the training is done. I had never seen this level of clarity in my life before. The highly developed pedagogical tools and language means there is a way to be absolutely precise about what needs to happen and how.
Rachel: How does it make sense to you?
Sophie: The brain and the body are pretty smart! The body knows when things are wrong – a good example of this is that when people are injured they often say they feel the need for psychological help as well as physical help. But what is happening is that the brain is in a legitimate panic and mess as a direct result of the way the body is functioning at the instrument. As the correct movements are worked in and we are at peace with the instrument, the brain starts to let go too. This illustrates the profound physical logic of the Taubman/Golandsky work, we know and feel it is right on the inside – what I call the internal physical landscape of the performer.
Rachel: How are the benefits of the approach expressed?
Sophie: Freedom, from pain, ease, speed and power at the instrument, confidence in the knowledge of how and what to do, a completely new way of practicing due to the specificity of the work, freedom of musical expression and a renewed love of the instrument just to mention a few!

← Three Key eDiscovery Preservation Lessons from Small v. University Medical Center
Why I Joined X1 →
eDiscovery Veteran Craig Carpenter Joins X1 as CEO
Today we have some very exciting news: Craig Carpenter has joined X1 as our new CEO. Craig is a seasoned and experienced executive in the eDiscovery and information governance arena, holding several senior executive positions throughout his impressive career, including CEO, EVP of Sales, CMO, COO, and General Counsel. Craig was an early executive team member of one of the pioneers of eDiscovery software, Recommind, and a key part of that story from startup to creation of an industry-leading brand.
Most recently Craig was CEO of Fronteo, which he joined after running sales at Kroll Ontrack. He now brings his proven, customer-centric approach to X1. What I especially like about Craig is his track record as a thought leader and innovator in the legal technology arena. Here is what another thought leader, UK lawyer and renowned eDiscovery expert Chris Dale said last year on his blog, The eDisclosure Project, about Craig:
"Craig Carpenter was personally responsible for much of Recommind's success in promoting its expertise at predictive coding. This was a tough sell in those days when it was new, and Craig Carpenter tackled the promotional task with vigour. He was also the first person I heard (at a conference in Hong Kong) predict that analytics had a big future role to play in information governance, something which reached fruition when, a long time later, OpenText added Recommind to its stable with precisely that intention in mind."
I couldn't agree more. In fact, Craig will be weighing in on very soon with a blog post of his own on why he came to X1, which will include further insight into what Chris Dale says above, so stay tuned. Craig is a central part of X1's recent growth and expansion. Our X1 eDiscovery and information governance platform has caught fire, fueled in part by our game-changing alliance with Relativity announced earlier this summer. And LegalTech News weighed in today about Craig, noting that "there are few people more equipped to predict the future of e-discovery." In his interview with Legaltech News, Carpenter said X1's position aligns well of with his vision of the e-discovery marketplace, where the goal is to "move the strategy formation phase up to the beginning, as opposed to later in the process."
Besides being a well-known thought leader in eDiscovery, Craig also has forensic technology experience as he served as Chief Marketing Officer and COO of AccessData. Craig began his career as a practicing attorney. He earned both his Juris Doctor and MBA from Santa Clara University (my law school alma mater) and completed his undergraduate studies at UCLA, where he played quarterback on the Bruins' Pac-10 championship football team. A team, which I might add, could really use his help this season, but I digress.
And speaking of interesting blog posts, look for even more quality content on this site as Craig will be a featured co-blogger going forward. For now, I am very excited to welcome Craig onboard to take the X1 helm!

Q: how to plot (plotly.express) multiple lines based on different dataFrame parts I have a dataFrame for example:
In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame(data = [{'key': '1', 'value': '1', 'metadata': '3'}, {'key': '2', 'value': '2', 'metadata': '3'}, {'key': '1', 'value': '3', 'metadata': '3'}, {'key': '2', 'value': '4', 'metadata':
   ...: '3'}])

In [3]: df
Out[3]:
  key value metadata
0   1     1        3
1   2     2        3
2   1     3        3
3   2     4        3

I want to split the df by the "key", i.e.
In [4]: df_list = [d for _, d in df.groupby(['key'])]

In [5]: df_list
Out[5]:
[  key value metadata
 0   1     1        3
 2   1     3        3,
   key value metadata
 1   2     2        3
 3   2     4        3]

Now I have list of N (2) dataFrames based on number of unique keys. How can I plot this using plotly?
I can
In [6]: import plotly.express as px

In [7]: fig = px.line(df_list[0])

but how can I add the other lines? plotly.express.Figure has no add_line method...

A: Running plotly.express wil return a plotly.graph_objs._figure.Figure object. The same goes for plotly.graph_objects with go.Figure(). So after building a figure using plotly express, you can add lines or traces using:
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter)

Or:
fig.add_scatter()

Other options are:
fig.add_area()
fig.add_bar()

After building a fig you can run dir(fig) to learn more.
So in a dataframe such as this:
   2021  2022  2023
0     0     0     0
1     0    -1    -2
2    -1    -1    -3
3    -1    -2    -2
4    -1    -1    -3

You can add line / trace to an existing figure using:
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x = df.index, y = df['2023']))

If you prefer to keep control of subsets of your data through dictionaries, one approach to add several traces is this:
extra = {'2024': df['2024'],
         '2025': df['2025']}

for k, v in extra.items():
    fig.add_scatter(x=v.index, y = v, name = k + ' from dict' )

Complete code:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import plotly
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.graph_objects as go

# data
np.random.seed(1)
start = 2021
ncols = 6
nrows = 1000
cols = [str(i) for i in np.arange(start, start+ncols)]
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(-1,2, (nrows,ncols)), columns = cols).cumsum()
df.iloc[0] = 0

# figure
fig = px.line(df, x=df.index, y=cols[:-4])
fig.update_layout(template = 'plotly_dark')

# fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x = df.index, y = df['2023'], name = '2023 = added trace'))

fig.add_scatter(x = df.index, y = df['2023'], name = '2023 from add_trace')

extra = {'2024': df['2024'],
         '2025': df['2025']}

for k, v in extra.items():
    fig.add_scatter(x=v.index, y = v, name = k + ' from dict' )

fig.show()

Q: Is weak convergence "limit" unique?
Defintion: Let $V$ be a normed linear space. A sequence $\{v_i\}_{i=1} ^ \infty \subseteq V$ is said to converge to $v \in V$ weakly if, for each bounded linear functional $T:V \to \mathbb{R}$, we have $\lim_{n \to \infty} T(v_n)=T(v)$.

Q: If $\{v_n\}_{i=1} ^ \infty$  converges weakly to both $v$ and $w$, does this imply $v=w$?
I know that this is true for $L^p(E)$ spaces (at least when $1 \leq p < \infty$), but the proof that I am aware of uses a rather ad hoc method so I'm not convinced that it's true in general.

A: Yes, it is valid for any normed linear space. If $x^*(x)=0$ for all $x^*\in X^*$, then $x=0$. If $x$ were a nonzero element, the Hahn-Banach extension theorem guarantees a nonzero bounded linear functional $x^*$ such that $x^*(x)=\|x\|\neq0$.

Some properties for integro-differential operator defined by a fractional formal
Zainab E. Abdulnaby1,
Rabha W. Ibrahim2 &
Adem Kılıçman3
Recently, the study of the fractional formal (operators, polynomials and classes of special functions) has been increased. This study not only in mathematics but extended to another topics. In this effort, we investigate a generalized integro-differential operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\) defined by a fractional formal (fractional differential operator) and study some its geometric properties by employing it in new subclasses of analytic univalent functions.
The subject of fractional calculus (integral and derivative of any arbitrary real or complex order) has acquired significant popularity and major attention from several authors in various science due mainly to its direct involvement in the problems of differential equations in mathematics, physics, engineering and others for example Baskonus and Bulut (2015), Yin et al. (2015) and Bulut (2016). The fractional calculus has gained an interesting area in mathematical research and generalization of the (derivative and integral) operators and its useful utility to express the mathematical problems which often leads to problems to be solved see Yao et al. (2015), Baskonus (2016) and Kumar et al. (2016). Specifically, it utilized to define new classes and generalized many geometric properties and inequalities in complex domain. In another words, these operators are play an important role in geometric function theory to define new generalized subclasses of analytic univalent and then study their properties. By using the technique of convolution or Hadamard product, Sălăgean (1981) defined the differential operator \(\mathcal {D}_{n}\) of the class of analytic functions and it is well known as S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean operator. Followed by Al-Oboudi differential operator see Al-Oboudi (2004). Several authors have used the S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean operator to define and consider the properties of certain known and new classes of analytic univalent functions. We refer here some of them in recent years. Najafzadeh (2010) investigated a new subclass of analytic univalent functions with negative and fixed finitely coefficient based on S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean and Ruscheweyh differential operators. Aouf et al. (2012) gave some results for certain subclasses of analytic functions based on the definition for S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean operator with varying arguments. El-Ashwah (2014) used S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean operator to define a new subclass of analytic functions and derived some subordination results for this subclass in open unit disk. Breaz et al. (2008) investigated a new general integral operator for certain holomorphic functions based on the S\(\check{a}\)l\(\check{a}\)gean differential operator and studied some properties for this integral operator on some subclasses of univalent function. Also, Deniz et al. (2012) defined a new general integral operator by considering the Hadamard product and gave new sufficient conditions for this operator to be univalent in \(\mathbb {U}\). Breaz et al. (2014) defined two general integral operators \(F_{\lambda }(z)\) and \(G_{\lambda }(z)\) and investigated some geometric properties for these operators on subclasses of analytic function in open unit disk.
In this paper, we define a generalized mixed integro-differential operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\) based on the concept of Breaz integral operator as well as the fractional differential operator and study some their geometric properties on some new subclasses in open unit disk.
Let \(\mathcal {A}\) denote the class of all functions of the form
$$f(z)= z+ \sum _{n=2}^{\infty } a_{n} z^{n}$$
which are analytic function in the open unit disk \(\mathbb {U}= \lbrace z: |z|<1\rbrace\) and usually normalized by \(f(0)= f^{\prime }(0)-1=0\). Also, let \(\mathcal {S}\) be the subclass of \(\mathcal {A}\) consisting of functions f of form (1) which are univalent in \(\mathbb {U}\). We denote by \(\mathcal {S}^{*}(\beta )\) and \(\mathcal {K}(\beta )\), \(0 \le \beta < 1\), the classes of starlike function and convex function in \(\mathbb {U}\), respectively. For \(f \in \mathcal {A}\), Esa et al. (2016a) introduced the following differential operator \(\mathcal {T}^{\alpha ,\delta }: \mathcal {A}\rightarrow \mathcal {A},\)
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {T}^{\alpha ,\delta }f(z) := z + \sum ^{\infty }_{n=2} \frac{\Gamma (\delta +1)}{\Gamma (\alpha +1)} \frac{\Gamma (n+\alpha )}{\Gamma (n+\delta )} a_{n} z^{n} \quad (z\in \mathbb {U}), \end{aligned}$$
for some \((0< \alpha \le 1)\), \((0 < \delta \le 1)\) and \(n \in \mathbb {N}{\setminus }\lbrace 0, 1 \rbrace\). If \(\alpha =\delta\) in (2), then we get
$$\mathcal {T}_{z}^{\alpha ,\delta } f(z)= f(z) \quad (z \in \mathbb {U})$$
for more details see Esa et al. (2016b). Now, let define a new fractional differential operator \(\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}:\mathcal {A}\rightarrow \mathcal {A}\) as follows
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{0}f(z)&= f(z) \\ \mathcal {D}^{1}_{\lambda }f(z)&= (1-\lambda )\mathcal {T}^{\alpha ,\delta }f(z)+\lambda z\left( \mathcal {T}^{\alpha ,\delta }f(z)\right) ^{\prime }, \\ \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k} f(z)&= \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }\left( \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k-1} f(z)\right) \quad (k \in \mathbb {N}, \, z\in \mathbb {U}). \end{aligned}$$
In general, we write
$$\begin{aligned} D_{\lambda }^{k}f(z)= z+ \sum _{n=2}^{\infty }\Phi _{n,k}(\alpha ,\delta ,\lambda )a_{n} z^{n}\quad k \in =\lbrace 0,1,2,\ldots \rbrace \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} \Phi _{n,k}(\alpha ,\delta ,\lambda )=\left[ \frac{\Gamma (\delta +1)}{\Gamma (\alpha +1)}\frac{\Gamma (n+\alpha )}{\Gamma (n+\delta )}(1+(n-1)\lambda )\right] ^{k}. \end{aligned}$$
When \(\alpha = \delta\), \(\lambda =1\) and \(k=1\), we get Sǎlǎgean operator see Sălăgean (1981) and when \(\alpha =\delta\), we have Al-Oboudi differential operator see Al-Oboudi (2004). Afterwards, we introduce some new subclasses of \(\mathcal {A}\) as follows.
Let \(\mathcal {S}^{k}( \lambda ,\phi )\) denote the class of functions \(f \in \mathcal {A}\) which satisfies the following condition:
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1} f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f(z)} \right\} > \phi \quad (z \in \mathbb {U}) \end{aligned}$$
for some \(0 \le \phi < 1,\, \lambda \ge 0\) and \(k \in \lbrace 0,1,\ldots \rbrace\). Let \(\mathcal {K}^{k}( \lambda ,\phi )\) denote the class of functions \(f \in \mathcal {A}\) which satisfies the following condition
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ 1+ \frac{z \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2} f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f(z)} \right\} > \phi \quad (z \in \mathbb {U}) \end{aligned}$$
for some \(0 \le \phi < 1,\, \lambda \ge 0\) and \(k \in \lbrace 0,1,\ldots \rbrace\). It is clear that, when \(k=0\) in (4) and (5), then we have the well known function classes
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {S}^{0}(\lambda ,\phi )=\mathcal {S}^{*}(\phi )\quad \text {and} \quad \mathcal {K}^{0}(\lambda ,\phi )=\mathcal {K}(\phi ). \end{aligned}$$
Further, let \(\mathcal {N}^{k}(\lambda ,\psi )\) the subclass of \(\mathcal {A}\), consisting of the functions f, which satisfies the following
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ 1+ \frac{z \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2} f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1} f(z)} \right\} < \psi \quad (z \in \mathbb {U}) \end{aligned}$$
and let \(\mathcal {M}^{k}(\lambda ,\psi )\) be subclass of \(\mathcal {A}\) consisting of the functions f which satisfies the following
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1} f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f(z)} \right\} < \psi \quad (z \in \mathbb {U}) \end{aligned}$$
for some \(\psi >1\), \(\lambda \ge 0\) and \(k \in \lbrace 0,1,\ldots \rbrace\). It is obvious that, when \(k=0\) in (6) and (7), then we obtain the following classes
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {M}^{0}(\lambda ,\psi )= \mathcal {M}(\psi )\quad \text {and} \quad \mathcal {N}^{0}(\lambda ,\psi )=\mathcal {N}(\psi ) \end{aligned}$$
were interested by Owa and Srivastava (2002), Dixit and Chandra (2008) and recently studied by Porwal (2011). Let a function f is said to be in the class \(\mathcal {K}^{k}\mathcal {L}(\rho ,\varphi )\), if
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ 1+ \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f(z)} \right\} \ge \rho \left| \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}f(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f(z)}\right| +\varphi \quad (0 \le \varphi < 1) \end{aligned}$$
for some \(\rho ,\, \lambda \ge 0\) and for all \(z \in \mathbb {U}\). When \(k=0\) in (8), we have the function class studied in Shams and Kulkarni (2004). For \(f_{j},\, g_{j} \in \mathcal {A}\) and \(\nu _{j},\, \beta _{j}\) be positive real numbers, \(j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m \rbrace\), we define the integral operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z):\mathcal {A}^{m} \rightarrow \mathcal {A}\) by
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)= \int _{0}^{z}\prod _{j=1}^{m} \left( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta _{j}}\big (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(t)\big )^{\nu _{j}} dt. \end{aligned}$$
Note that, this integral operator is generalization of the integral operator recently defined by Stanciu and Breaz (2014). Also, the integral operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\) is generalizes the following operators defined and investigated by several researchers:
For \(k=0\) and \(f^{\prime }_{j}= g_{j}^{\prime }, \, j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\), we have integral operator defined as follows:
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {F}_{\nu ,\beta }f(z)= \int _{0}^{z} \prod _{j=1}^{m}\left( \frac{f_{j}(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta _{j}}\left( {f_{j}^{\prime }(t)}\right) ^{\nu _{j}} dt. \end{aligned}$$
studied and considered by Frasin (2011).
For \(k=0\) and \(\nu _{j}=0,\, j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\), we have the following integral operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {I}_{{m}}(z)= \int _{0}^{z} \prod _{j=1}^{m}\left( \frac{f_{j}(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta _{j}}dt. \end{aligned}$$
was considered by Breaz and Breaz (2002).
For \(k=0\), and \(\beta _{j}=0,\, j=\lbrace 1, 2,\ldots , m\rbrace\), we have the integral operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {I}_{\nu _{m}}(z)= \int _{0}^{z} \prod _{j=1}^{m}\left( {g_{j}^{\prime }(t)}\right) ^{\nu _{j}}dt. \end{aligned}$$
which studied by Breaz et al. (2009). In particular, for \(m=1, \nu _{1}=\nu , \beta _{1}=0\) and \(g_{1} = g\), we have the integral operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {I}_{\nu }f(z)= \int _{0}^{z}\left( {g^{\prime }(t)}\right) ^{\nu }dt. \end{aligned}$$
which was considered by Pascu and Pescar (1990).
For \(k=0,\, m=1\), \(\nu _{1}=0, \beta _{1}=\beta\) and \(f_{1}=f\), we have the following operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {I}_{\beta }f(z)= \int _{0}^{z}\left( \frac{f(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta }dt. \end{aligned}$$
investigated by Miller et al. (1978). In particular, for \(\beta =1\), we have the Alexander's integral operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {I}f(z)= \int _{0}^{z}\frac{f(t)}{t}dt. \end{aligned}$$
which was studied by Alexander (1915).
We start our first result.
Let \(\nu _{j},\, \beta _{j}\) be positive real numbers, \(j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots , m\rbrace\). If \(f_{j} \in \mathcal {M}^{k}(\lambda , \psi _{j} ),\, \psi _{j} > 1\) and \(g_{j} \in \mathcal {N}^{k}(\lambda , \eta _{j}), \,\eta _{j} > 1, j= \lbrace 1,2, \ldots , m \rbrace\), then the integral operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m} (z)\) given by (9) is in the class \(\mathcal {N}^{k} (\lambda ,\rho )\), where
$$\begin{aligned} \rho = 1+\sum _{j=1}^{m}[ \beta _{j}(\psi _{j}-1)+\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1)]. \end{aligned}$$
On successive differentiation of \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\) defined in (9), we obtain
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)= \prod _{j=1}^{m} \left( \left( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}{z}\right) ^{\beta _{j}}\left (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)\right )^{\nu _{j}}\right) \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)&= \sum _{j=1}^{m}\bigg [ \beta _{j}\left( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}{z}\right) ^{\beta _{j}-1} \bigg ( \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)-\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}{z^2} \bigg ) \big (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)\big )^{\nu _{j}}\bigg ]\nonumber \\&\quad \times \prod _{\begin{array}{c} \ell =1 \\ \ell \ne j \end{array} }^{m} \left( \left( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k} f_{\ell }(z)}{z}\right) ^{\beta _{\ell }} (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z))^{\nu _{\ell }} \right) + \sum _{j=1}^{m}\bigg [ \bigg ( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}{z}\bigg )^{\beta _{j}} \nu _j \big (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)\big )^{\nu _{j}-1} \nonumber \\&\quad \times \mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)\bigg ] \prod _{\begin{array}{c} \ell =1 \\ \ell \ne j \end{array} }^{m} \left( \bigg ( \frac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k} f_{\ell }(z)}{z}\bigg )^{\beta _{\ell }} (\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z))^{\nu _{\ell }} \right) . \end{aligned}$$
By a calculation, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)}= \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j} \left ( \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}-1 \right ) + \nu _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] . \end{aligned}$$
The Eq. (14) is equivalent to
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} + 1= \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j} \left ( \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}-1 \right ) + \nu _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] +1. \end{aligned}$$
By calculating the real part of both expressions in (15), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} + 1\right\} = \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j}\mathfrak {R}\frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}-\beta _{j} + \nu _{j}\mathfrak {R}\frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] +1, \\ = \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left [ \beta _{j}\mathfrak {R}\frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}-\beta _{j} + \nu _{j}\mathfrak {R}\left (\frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)}+1\right )-\nu _{j} \right ]+1. \end{aligned}$$
Since \(f_{j} \in \mathcal {M}^{k}(\lambda ,\, \psi _{j}), \psi _{j} > 1\) and \(g_{j} \in \mathcal {N}^{k}( \lambda ,\,\eta _{j} ),\,\eta _{j} > 1,\, j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} + 1\right\}&<\sum _{j=1}^{m}[ \beta _{j}\psi _{j}-\beta _{j}+\nu _{j}\eta _{j}-\nu _{j}]+1 \\&< \sum _{j=1}^{m}[ \beta _{j}(\psi _{j}-1)+\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1)]+1. \end{aligned}$$
Therefore, \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\in \mathcal {N}^{k}(\lambda ,\rho )\), where \(\rho = 1+\sum _{j=1}^{m}[ \beta _{j}(\psi _{j}-1)+\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1)]\).\(\square\)
Let \(k=0, m=1\) in Theorem 1, we have
Let \(\beta ,\, \nu\) be positive real numbers. If \(f \in \mathcal {M}(\psi ), \psi > 1\) and \(g \in \mathcal {N}(\eta ), \eta > 1\), then
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {J}(z)=\int _{0}^{z} \left( \frac{f(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta } (g^{\prime }(t))^{\nu } dt \end{aligned}$$
is in the class \(\mathcal {N}(\rho )\), where \(\rho = 1+ \beta (\psi -1)+\nu (\eta -1)\).
Let \(\beta _{j},\,\nu _{j}\) be positive real numbers, \(j= \lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\). We assume that \(f_{j},\,j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\) are starlike functions by order \(\frac{1}{\beta _{j}}\) and that is \(f_{j} \in \mathcal {S}^{k}(\lambda ,\,\frac{1}{\beta _{j}})\) and \(g_{j}\in \mathcal {K}^{k}\mathcal {L}(\rho _{j},\, \eta _{j})\), \(\rho _{j} \ge 1,\,0 \le \eta _{j} < 1, j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m \rbrace\). If
$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{j=1}^{m}[\nu _{j}(1-\eta _{j})+ \beta _{j}]-m <1 \end{aligned}$$
then \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\) given by (9) is in the class \(\mathcal {K}^{k}(\lambda ,\omega )\) where
$$\begin{aligned} \omega = 1+ m + \sum _{j=1}^{m}[\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1)- \beta _{j}]. \end{aligned}$$
By following same methods as in Theorem 1, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)}&= \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j} \bigg ( \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}-1 \bigg ) + \nu _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] \nonumber \\&= \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}- \beta _{j} + \nu _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] , \end{aligned}$$
we can see that, (18) is equivalent to
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} +1 = \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}- \beta _{j} + \nu _{j} \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)} \right] +1 \end{aligned}$$
then by taking the real part of (19), we have
$$\begin{aligned}&\mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} +1\right\} \nonumber \\&\quad =\, \sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ \beta _{j}\mathfrak {R}\frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}- \beta _{j}+ \nu _{j}\mathfrak {R}\bigg ( \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)}+ 1 \bigg ) - \nu _{i} \right] +1, \end{aligned}$$
but \(f_{j} \in \mathcal {S}^{k}(\lambda ,\,\frac{1}{\beta _{j}})\), that means \(\mathfrak {R}\left\{ \tfrac{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}f_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k}f_{j}(z)}\right\} > \frac{1}{\beta _{j}}\) and \(g_{j} \in \mathcal {K}^{k}\mathcal {L}(\rho _{j},\eta _{j})\), \(\rho _{j} \ge 0\) and \(0 \le \eta _{j}< 1\), \(j=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots ,m\rbrace\), from (20), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} +1\right\}&>\sum _{j=1}^{m}\left[ 1 - \beta _{j}+ \nu _{j}\left (\rho _{i}\left | \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)}\right | + \eta _{j} \right )-\nu _{j} \right] +1 \\&> 1+ m -\sum _{j=1}^{m}\beta _{j} +\sum _{j=1}^{m} \nu _{j}\rho _{i}\left | \frac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)}\right | + \sum _{j=1}^{m}\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1). \end{aligned}$$
Since, \(\nu _{j}\,\rho _{j}\,\big | \tfrac{z\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+2}g_{j}(z)}{\mathcal {D}_{\lambda }^{k+1}g_{j}(z)}\big |>0\), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {R}\left\{ \frac{z\mathfrak {J}^{\prime \prime }_{m}(z)}{\mathfrak {J}^{\prime }_{m}(z)} +1\right\}&>1+ m - \sum _{j=1}^{m}\beta _{j} + \sum _{j=1}^{m}\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1),\\&> 1+ m + \sum _{j=1}^{m}[\nu _{j}(\eta _{j}-1)- \beta _{j}]. \end{aligned}$$
By using the condition in (17), we have that \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z) \in \mathcal {K}^{k}(\lambda ,\omega )\), where
\(\square\)
By setting \(k=0\) and \(m=1\) in Theorem 2, we have the following result.
Let \(\beta , \nu\) be positive real numbers, We assume that \(f \in \mathcal {S}^{*}(\frac{1}{\beta })\), \(g \in \mathcal {K}\mathcal {L}(\rho ,\, \eta ), \rho \ge 0\) and \(0 \le \eta < 1\). If
$$\begin{aligned} \beta + \nu (1-\eta ) < 2 \end{aligned}$$
then the integral operator
$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak {J}(z)=\int _{0}^{z}\left( \frac{f(t)}{t}\right) ^{\beta }( g^{\prime }(z))^{\nu } dt \end{aligned}$$
is in the class \(\mathcal {K}(\omega )\) where \(\omega =2+\nu (\eta -1)-\beta .\)
In geometric function theory, we defined and studied a new integro -differential operator \(\mathfrak {J}_{m}(z)\), with a new classes of analytic and univalent functions. This operator is generalized and modified recent various fractional differential operators.

A funeral ceremony helps to publicly acknowledge the reality of the death, and when shared with friends and family it encourages the expression of grief.
Prior to the funeral service, some family members of find it helps to spend time with their loved one and like to bring small gifts or a photograph to put on or in the coffin or casket. It's a personal choice and we can talk about this and guide you through the steps.
Our funeral staff will contact you the day prior to service to confirm details and key timings. This communication is essential and aims to provide you with the reassurance that we have catered for and provide you with an opportunity to deliver any final instructions.
With all the preparation and hard work that goes in to planning a funeral, many people find that they are emotionally drained and exhausted by the time the day of the actual service takes place. By knowing what's expected of you and how you can equip yourself to get through it, you can take more time to grieve and take part in the proceedings.
Your need to rely on a funeral director is the number one reason why it's a good idea to choose a funeral service provider to ease the burden and uncertainty surrounding funeral arrangements.
Bring tissues, extra water, snacks, and anything else that might help you keep up your strength for the day ahead.
Depending on whether you are having a viewing, visitors may begin arriving 30 minutes before the service starts. You are welcome to arrive before visitors if you would like to join our staff in greeting attendees.
Family members typically sit in a reserved area during a funeral service, often in the front rows of the available seating. Visitors arriving, who may need assistance, will be directed to appropriate seats by our staff.
If your service includes a burial at a cemetery, you will need to take some transportation from the service venue to the cemetery. If you've arranged transport with your funeral director, they will guide you to your vehicle after the service. If you are travelling in a cortege following the hearse, your funeral director will update you on how best to travel to the cemetery.
When you arrive at the cemetery, everything is typically set up for you. Again, seating is generally reserved for family and the elderly.
Once the funeral is completed, you may leave the cemetery in your own time and depending on your plans, you may go from the cemetery to an after-funeral gathering or wake.
Funerals serve to gather family and friends to celebrate a person's life and while a eulogy is often seen as one of, if not the most important part of the service, they can be intimidating to write.
The most important thing to remember when writing a eulogy is that you should always be honest and authentic about the person. You can approach the eulogy in a purely chronological way, that is a recounting of the life of the person from birth to death, however many people prefer to deliver a characterisation of the person, or an overall picture using anecdotes or stories about fond moments.
How did you first meet and become close? Think of their achievements and their community involvements.
What did you love and admire about the person?
What did they do that made you smile – did they have a good sense of humour?
Did they travel or love being in nature? Maybe they disliked both.
Think of their family, work colleagues and friends. What did they like or dislike?
What was their favourite time of day or TV show?
How will this person be remembered?

From Russia with love? UK government sits on hot-button report
At the core of a 50-page, as yet unreleased, report compiled by the UK's Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) over a year ago is the question of to what extent Russian influence held sway over UK political events, such as the 2016 Brexit referendum, and whether senior Conservatives were open to such advances.
The results of the investigation, dubbed the "Russia Report," were supposed to be released at the end of last year. Cue Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to dissolve parliament after calling a snap election, thus delaying its publication.
Johnson then insisted that the report would be released in "due course."
Six months later, there is still no sign of it, despite Johnson giving the report the green light. The crux of the matter is that the report could not be made public while the ISC was in limbo.
Indeed, the committee hasn't met since December's election — an anomaly in itself — due to Downing Street's failure to approve a list of MPs and peers nominated for membership. In a quirk of British politics, the ISC — which scrutinizes the activities of security and intelligence agencies — reports not to parliament but to the prime minister, who must clear its reports for publication.
What are they hiding?
That list has now been submitted, but the delay has raised all sorts of questions and fueled theories as to what kind of a smoking gun may be buried in the report. Details of the possible content remain scant as the ISC meets almost entirely behind closed doors.
"The government kind of downplayed [the report] in the last few months that that there won't be some great reveal. What we know is that [the ISC] decided quite early in the 2017 parliament to look at Russian interference in British public life, British elections. And they said they did that on the back of the US inquiry into Russian activities in the [2016] US presidential election. They also said they were concerned about Russian influence in the EU referendum," says Andrew Defty, associate professor of politics at the University of Lincoln and co-author of "Watching the Watchers: Parliament and the Intelligence Services."

In the absence of a particularly egregious revelation such as an undisclosed donation or untoward relationship, it's the accumulation of a series of connections, says James Nixey, director of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House.
"What I do think that you might see in this report all put together in the same place, at the same time is quite a lot of malign Russian influence which, when seen together, makes it look as if the Conservative Party is far too close to Russians who are themselves close to the Kremlin."
Allegations of Russian meddling in a foreign state's affairs are, of course, nothing new and the UK has experienced its fair share in various walks of life, be it Russian oligarchs buying up swathes of real estate in London or assuming ownership of Premier League football clubs. But it can also take on more sinister forms, such as the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, a former Russian military intelligence officer in Salisbury in 2018, allegedly masterminded by the Kremlin.
Read more: Salisbury: What we know a year after the Skripal poison attack
Presumably, these examples are merely the tip of the iceberg. What is relatively clear is that Russia made a somewhat "halfhearted attempt," as Nixey puts it, to influence the outcome of the Brexit referendum in favor of Leave. However, that involvement wasn't crucial in deciding the outcome.
"I think really personally that the more damning elements in the report would be the nature and amounts of financial transactions from Russian tycoons or oligarchs to the Tory party or to specific members," he says.
Undue political interference
No one likes to be embarrassed — and the UK government under Johnson is no exception. But his attempts to obfuscate the matter and delay publication of the report have left him wide open to accusations that he's trying to hide something. Beyond that, it's muddied the waters as to whether the intelligence and security establishment can do its work independently and not be dragged into a political quagmire.
"He's [Johnson] left himself open to criticism by not allowing the report to be released in the normal way before the general election. And certainly, I think the intelligence oversight process in the UK parliament has become politicized. His handling of the report and then the delay in bringing forward nominations for the committee after the election certainly reflects a level of undue influence or an attempt to at least go right to the very edge of the prime minister's powers of control over the ISC," says Defty.
Barring any unforeseen impediments, a new ISC could be in place before parliament's summer recess begins next week Wednesday. And therein lies the rub: Assuming the report is published in the coming days, it would leave very little time for substantial debate and scrutiny before the summer break. Again, it begs the question of whether Johnson is merely using politically opportune tactics.
"It's hard to avoid the conclusion that it has been a deliberate tactic to prevent, proper parliamentary scrutiny and difficult parliamentary questions about the content of this report. So, will there be time next week for a debate about it? I suspect not," says Defty.
It's not uncommon for parliamentary committees to publish their reports during the recess. That would certainly kick up a media storm during the summer lull. However as Defty points out, "the fuss may have died down by the time parliament comes back in September."
Read more: Does the coronavirus crisis make a no-deal Brexit more likely?
By the same token, it's feasible that if the report is published now, it could help to deflect from the government's perceived inept handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
Smoking gun or not, the report is unlikely to spark any major political fallout. Notwithstanding the long list of problems, the current government still enjoys a healthy mandate. If anything, Boris Johnson's resilience in the face of scandals seems to grow the more damaging they appear.
"I suspect the publication of a report which suggests that the Conservative Party has not been as secure as it might be in its social distancing from Russian influence, will create some waves and outrage, but not actually have a long term political effect," says Nixey.

Q: What happen if we remove checked exception from java? I have gone through this interview
http://www.artima.com/intv/handcuffs.html
and some article and discussion about checked exception. That said checked exception is untried experiment to bring in java. It can bring versionability and scalability issues. Bruce eckel also provide a adapter to convert checked exception to unchecked exception to avoid called force to catch exception. I also heart hibernate move from checked exception to unchecked exception. I wonder what if we remove checked exception mechanism? I also agree that checked exception is not necessary existed.

A: Not a lot would happen, actually. On the VM level, all exceptions are unchecked. You can verify this by doing e.g. the following:
public class A {
    public static void a() {
        /* Do nothing */
    }
}

public class B {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        A.a();
    }
}

Store these classes in their respective files A.java and B.java and compile them. Then, change A to the following:
public class A {
    public static void a() throws Exception {
        throw(new Exception("foo"));
    }
}

Recompile A.java without recompiling B.java. Then run B, and you'll see the thrown exception from A propagating and terminating the program as if it were a RuntimeException, without the VM complaining of linkage errors or anything.
Checked exceptions are merely a syntax-level feature of the Java language. Removing it wouldn't affect the VM implementation or even the language model one bit.

A:
I wonder what if we remove checked exception mechanism?

The short answer is that nothing would happen at the technical level1.
However there would be long and loud complaints from the significant body of Java programmers who believe that checked exceptions are actually a good thing ... or at least, they are better than the alternative of simply removing the distinction.
The people responsible for the creation evolution of the Java language over the past 15+ years have taken an essentially conservative approach, only making backwards compatible changes and only when there was broad acceptance that it was a good thing to do.  So, while dropping the checked / unchecked distinction is an "interesting" proposal, it is not likely to happen in Java (IMO).

1 - it is theoretically possible that there is code whose functionality depends on the compiler or something flagging mishandled checked exceptions as an error ... but I've never come across a situation where this would make sense.


Some Yuwie tips and tricks!!
Hey friends and my fellow readers! Here are some of the Yuwie tips that I send out to all my referrals. Thought I'd share them....maybe they can help someone!
1. Make your profile something worth looking at. The first thing you should do is apply or create a template for your profile, add pictures, videos, something in your shout box, etc. You want people to visit your page and visitors get bored with the same old default red and white background, so make your profile appealing and exciting so that they will visit again! But don't make it too complicated or put so much stuff on there that it takes 10 minutes to load though, because visitors also get impatient.
2. Accept all friend requests and add as many friends as you can. The more friends you have the more page views you'll get. You can start with my friends list and just go through and request to be everyone's friend. Yuwie is different from Myspace where you're usually not friends with people you don't really know. Everyone is friends with everyone on here because we are all helping each other to make money!
3. Do not make your profile private. If it's set to private then only a limited number of people can view your page so that just doesn't make sense! But of course, making your page public also means, for safety reasons, do not put anything too personal on your page either. Don't put where you live, where you go to school/work, etc. because even though we're all friends it's still possible to come across some weirdos lol and we want to stay safe!
4. Learn from the pros. I recommend to all of my referrals to join the How to build your yuwie: Q&A club because it has so much valuable information. There are other awesome clubs that you can learn a lot from too so go through the clubs listings and join some! Also, when submitting friend requests look for those people who are experienced and can offer advice. They all have amazing blogs with some extremely helpful information and tips. Be friends with the people who really know what they are doing and are actually making money at this and learn as much as you can from them!
5. ALWAYS reply to comments and messages. When people take the time to give you page views by leaving you comments and/or messages you should always return the favor and comment or message them back. If you never reply then your friends probably won't comment or message you as much, which means fewer page views, which means less money.
6. Keep in touch with your downline. A big part of being successful with Yuwie is being a leader and training those people you bring in so that they know what to do to make money. If they make money you make money, and inactive referrals don't make anyone money so training your referrals is imperative. I always send a Welcome to Yuwie comment and a Tips and Tricks message to my referrals to get them started. Offer to help in any way that you can, encourage your non-active referrals, praise your active referrals, and just keep in touch. It's also a good idea to send friend requests to all of your level 2 and 3 referrals as well and encourage them as much as possible too.
7. Post blogs and create clubs to generate more page views. These are great ways to send people to your page, get more friend requests, and increase your page views.
8. Refer, refer, refer!!! This is probably the most important advice I can offer you. Without referrals you won't make any money on Yuwie. They are your foundation and should be a major focus in the beginning. But a lot of people have trouble with bringing in referrals. That is because they are only advertising Yuwie to their friends and family. Friends and family are great but the big numbers come from advertising to people who are specifically looking to make money working online. I advertise my referral link on Craigslist. There are some tricks to advertising on Craigslist though, because the "Craigslist Nazis" will delete your ads if you don't go about your advertising in the right way. Technically you're not supposed to advertise the same opportunity in more than one city, but we all know that is the way to get lots of people looking at your ads. So to get around this the secret is to 1) make the posting title different for every ad that you post, and 2) delete your cookies before every new post (Craigslist tracks your activity on their site with cookies and if they see that you've posted to several cities at the same time they will come in behind you and delete all of your work). Make sure that somewhere in the body of your ad you write the words "telecommuting" or "work from home" so that it will show up when people search those words. I post about 10 ads every day, but more than that is too many. This just won't work if we totally saturate Craigslist with Yuwie ads. So post sparingly. You can also advertise on work at home message boards. One that I post my link on sometimes is the WAHM.com message boards. And of course you can always invite your myspace friends.
9. Be consistent. Yuwie is not a get rich quick thing. It takes time and effort but if you consistently work at it (especially at the referrals) you will see progress. You make small change in the beginning but just think of what will happen in the next 6 months or a year with exponential growth! It could be amazing!
10. Stay positive. I've seen people get discouraged after their first earnings report but you have to remember that this company is still a baby. Myspace started off small just like this, and look at where they are now, and without paying their members! Yuwie will be bigger than Myspace and we will make the most money because we got in on it in the beginning, so keep a positive outlook that you will eventually see results from Yuwie and it will happen!


If you are seeing someone and trying to "make it work," then that person is not right for you. There is a saying that goes, "If you have to justify a relationship, then you probably shouldn't be in it." When it is right, it is easy! Here are ways to help you figure out if he/she is the right one for you.
The person is not the one for you if you try to force it to work. It should be easy; dopamine shall flow by itself and there should be chemistry from the start if the person is for you. When two couples click, they tend to get along so well as to be with each other for many years.
Your friends know you well and they know who the ideal person for you is. Those who have your best interests at heart get along very well with the person they believe is right for you. When you want to determine if someone is the right match for you, consider your friends' opinions about them.
When you are attracted to their body, mind, heart and soul, that person is the right one for you. You'll want to know their thoughts, their feelings, and all about them. You would want them to meet your friends so you can show your partner off.
You both think alike and there is always a match in core values. If he/she is the right one for you, your core values tend to align with theirs. You both will agree on most things. If there is a difference in core values, you will struggle to determine whether they are the ones for you.
Physical attraction is a key to intimacy. If there is no physical connection between you and someone you could potentially date, there might never be. Attraction is important but you should try not to force yourself to be attracted to someone if you are not.
Your "the one" doesn't hide; there are no half-truths and no lies. You don't hesitate to have a conversation about anything with them. They say what they mean. The communication is clear, and honest.
Do they respect you? Once you see someone as your potential partner, respect is the first thing you should look for. If you aren't treated well, you will feel used, abused, frustrated, miserable and want to be out of it. If he/she is respectful to you, he/she is right for you.
No relationship is perfect; there are always differences that do exist. When you are with the right person, they will never let the differences impact your relationship. Regardless of those differences, they work them out with you to grow closer.

Stars: Stephen Dorff, Eddie Griffin, Luis Da Silva Jr.
The best way to describe this is a type of prequel to Crazy Heart. I liked this one quite a bit.
almost. This is a mock- umentary type movie that really works. Dorff really transforms into this role and that makes the entire thing work brilliantly. The one thing that is very unbelievable though is how fast everything moves for him. Any story a successful musician tells talks about years and years of struggle. Garth Brooks famously got turned down so many times that he left Nashville his first time. Wheeler doesn't have that problem. The music is great, the movie is very good and if you are a fan of movies about music this is definitely one to watch. Overall, the best way to describe this is a type of prequel to Crazy Heart. I liked this one quite a bit. I give this a B.

Latino Votes Could Swing the Democratic Primary, and the Candidates Know It
"What's exciting is that by March 17 of next year, 70% of all eligible Latinos will have been able to cast a vote," said Maria Teresa Kumar, president and CEO of Voto Latino. "That's unprecedented"
Published at 8:24 pm on July 20, 2019
Robert Alexander/Getty Images
For the first time, Latino elected officials and voters are getting a real full-court press from Democratic contenders during the early stages of the primary process. The reason for the shift is simple: this time around, they could play a much more prominent role in picking the nominee, NBC News reports.
Depending on how the race unfolds, Latinos might even end up being the key to the contest.
That's a function mostly of heavily Hispanic states, including California and Texas, moving up on the primary calendar at the same time that the chances for a protracted, delegate-by-delegate fight among several candidates appear to be more likely than ever. The possibility of African American voters splitting among several candidates for the first time in several presidential primary cycles also raises the stakes for candidates in trying to get an edge with Latino voters.
Virginia 4 mins ago
Together, California and Texas, where Hispanics account for nearly 40% of the overall population, account for more than 15% of the elected delegates to next summer's Democratic convention. Both states wrap up voting next year on March 3 — Super Tuesday — which is the same day that several southern states with heavily African American Democratic electorates and a smattering of other states vote.


Calling all butter chicken lovers! I am with you when it comes to loving this delicious and creamy dish! I will be sharing two versions of this butter chicken recipe on my blog, both of which are very tasty. The one I am sharing today is actually called chicken makhani.
Makhani basically means butter, which is one of the key ingredients of the dish along with tomatoes. The main difference between your basic butter chicken recipe and this chicken makhani is that its a lighter version with less heavy cream added. So if you are looking for something just as delicious but with fewer calories, then this is it.
I have divided the steps into two simple sections: 1) Preparing the marinade, 2) Cooking the sauce. I have mentioned alongside each of the ingredients which section it belongs in.
I like to serve butter chicken over some rice pulao or even boiled rice. But you can serve it alongside naan as well. Both ways are delicious. Let me know in the comments below if you have made butter chicken before. Let's start!
For the marinade: place the red chili peppers, garlic, and cumin seeds into a food processor or blender and blend to incorporate them. Then add the remaining ingredients for the marinade (as listed alongside each ingredient). Pour out the marinade into a large bowl.
Add the boned chicken breasts or thighs to the marinade. Then, mix them in the marinade so all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. TIP: You can use boneless chicken breasts or thighs, but a lot of flavor comes from boned chicken.
For the sauce: Place the tomatoes into a large saucepan and cook them over low heat, for about 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender. There is no need to add any additional water.
Once the tomatoes are tender, place them in a fine mesh strainer and rub them over a clean saucepan so that the pulp falls through. Simmer the tomato pulp over low heat for about 50 minutes until the pulp reduces and becomes thick. Make sure to stir every couple of minutes.
Stir in the butter and the desired salt amount and continue cooking the sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, while mixing frequently. Keep tasting to make sure the salt is enough.
Next, add in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the tomato sauce until the cream heats through. Now set the sauce aside.
In another large heavy-bottomed pan, add the oil and heat it for a minute over medium heat. Then take the chicken pieces out from the marinade and add them to the oil. Fry the chicken for about 6 minutes until it changes in color. TIP: Don't throw out the marinade!
Add the reserved marinade to the pan and cook it over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken cooks through. Make sure you stir frequently. TIP: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken and mix it through. Lower the heat and simmer the butter chicken for another 5 minutes so all the ingredients become incorporated together.
Pour the butter chicken into a serving dish and garnish with a dash of heavy cream and a few cilantro leaves. You can serve this alongside rice.
Storage: You can store the butter chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week.

Subject: Are the '80s more critically respected now?
Written By: Marty McFly on 08/31/06 at 8:17 pm
Even though the '80s started many things we have now (i.e. MTV, video games, CD's) and in many ways, it was the first true "modern" decade, I do feel they've begun to join the '50s '60s and '70s in terms of being respected now.
At the time, uptight Tipper Gore authority-types probably looked down upon what kids and teens were into. The '80s were like the "new kid on the block" that didn't hold a candle to how much better things were a quarter century earlier. Nowadays though, you'll sometimes hear U2 or Madonna get mentioned in the same breath as Elvis and The Beatles when people are talking about legendary recording artists, for instance. The same radio stations that play '60s music will also play "All Night Long" or "We Built This City" and it seems not too out of place.
Do you think it's just coincidental with time passing? Or perhaps because Gen Xers have somewhat joined the Baby Boomers as The Adults, so their stuff is more accepted or liked by the Boomers and the Silent Gens than it would've been when there were viewed as the punk 13-year old kids playing Pac Man in 1981 or being "corrupted" by Twisted Sister a few years later?
Subject: Re: Are the '80s more critically respected now?
Written By: mach!ne_he@d on 08/31/06 at 11:31 pm
I agree with all of that. I also think it has something to do with people born in the '80s(specifically late '80s) who are too young to remember the decade. It seems like when those that too young to remember a decade grow up they always seem to 'respect' it.
Written By: Marty McFly on 09/01/06 at 12:45 am
Yeah, I never really thought about that before, but I think you're right. I sort of feel that way about the '70s/early '80s myself. The time around when someone is born is nestled in that category of "too far away to remember it, but recent enough to relate to it".
Written By: Chris MegatronTHX on 09/02/06 at 12:20 am
You know I just was at this 50s themed retro resturant the other day, I was with a friend who is much older then you or I...he is like 55 or so. Anyway in the corner of the 50s resturant was a Pac-Man game, with it's "copyright 1981" on the side. It was so nostalgic for me. The arcade looked so old, like it wasn't out of place AT ALL right next to the 50s jukebox. In the 80s, this retro 50s diner would likely not have an arcade, for authenticity, the arcade would be too modern, even in the late 80s. But today the arcade looks just as old as many 50s things, and it doesn't seem strange. Strangely they also played 80s music in there from time to time, and I joked with my older friend about The Cafe 80s scene from Back to the Future Part II. What was really weird was when he told me that he used to spend hours on arcade games back in the early 80s, some quick math and I realized he would have been about my age around 1982. Yikes.
It mainly has to do with Gen Xers getting older and being in positions of power to influence the media. Hell even some older hot shot Gen Yers born in the early 80s are in high ranking positions to influence the media. So yeah the 80s are more respected now. A lot of kids probably walk around thinking of the 80s as their parents decade or the time of "the adults". Whereas when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, that kinda thinking was meant for the 60s.
Great minds think alike! I was thinking of the Cafe 80s scene relating to that story, even before you'd mentioned it. ;) That is a weird realization all around though. Even folks about your friend's age, who were 30 in the early '80s is still weird for me to grasp them being in their mid 50s now.
I vaguely recall a couple years ago, someone posted on one of the BTTF boards asking why Old Biff would be at the Cafe '80s instead of something relating to the '50s. Someone responded to the effect of what we are - that by then, everything in "the past" probably blended together for him.
Maybe it's just me, but aside from some of the tech like that (especially some of the huge, clunky looking computers, lol), the '80s still have an "older brother" era vibe about them as opposed to really "parental" the way the '70s might be. Again I'm guessing it's because so much that's still around or modified today took off then.
The only people I'd think would truly look at the '80s as parental are, like 12 year old kids basing it solely off numbers, or those who don't know any better - i.e. mistaking all songs on oldies stations as being from the same time.
Written By: Chris MegatronTHX on 09/02/06 at 5:15 pm
Today in 2006 I have accepted the 80s being "retro", whereas during the 1999-2002 time I was muich more freaked out by people daring to suggest the 80s are classic or retro. I kept thinking, my god the late 80s were only a little over 10 years ago. That's way too recent.
But now, eh, it doesn't phase me as much. 1986 was 20 years ago. Seeing girls dress 80ish and wear those little ballerina type shoes (I don't know the real name for them) has made me realize this. I remember back around 2001 some of us were talking that the 80s were NOT retro, it was in limbo as an era whose time had merely passed. But I remember we agreed that by the late '00s, the 80s would be retro. I think 2006 is the first year where this has begun, and it has become true. It's an old decade, I guess it is retro, and I wouldn't debate it anymore with some teenager the way I would have back in 2000.
It is a bit scary how certain things from the 80s could just blend in together with past eras. Kids may have already started thinking that we grew up with all of that (thinking jukeboxes were common in the 80s and such) and may not differentiate the eras very well. I know that diner was around in the actual 1980s, and I don't *think* they would have stuck an arcade game in the corner. But today it sorta does blend together, and that is kinda unsetteling. An arcade, especially a Pac-Man one, looks as old as a jukebox.
Maybey Doc said the Cafe 80s "were not done very well", because the managers in 2015 were some 23 year old born in 1992 that didn't bother to be authentic and real, so they blended the decades together and passed it all of as "here's our 80s cafe". For all I know there could be a ton of other things wrong with that diner, but only people that were around in the 50s or researched the decade well enough would know the difference. How am I to know if the little red tricycle they had propped up on one table was from 1955 or instead from 1947 or 1965? I don't, it looks old and looks like it belongs there.
Hey Marty, since we were talking BTTF, if you look at one of the documentaries on the BTTF disc one of the production designers on the set of Hill Valley circa 1955 talks about how some people would "think it's too early" to do "a period piece" on the 1950s. I think the interview was shot in 1984. It was always interesting to me.
I do remember that now that you mention it (the DVD's had some great extras on it like that). Even though as we've all mentioned before, the '50s were so much more old, alien and different in the '80s than something 20 or 30 years ago would be now, I sorta see what he's saying. The Disco scene would feel too early to do a period piece on now, even if they're definitely up for grabs on being retro cool (the '70s comeback in reality was maybe 1993-2002).
Then again, maybe he said that because of the emphasis on "differences" between the '50s and the at the time present of 1984/85.
Written By: velvetoneo on 09/02/06 at 6:25 pm
I do think they are. There has been a massive "critical reappraisal" of '80s music, particularly new wavers like Gary Numan/The Tubeway Army, Tears for Fears, The Smiths, and even bands like Duran Duran and ABC that were particularly looked down on in the '90s. A 1994-or-so published book I have of Rolling Stone essays that proclaims to be a history of rock basically overlooks the synthpop and new wave scene of the '80s, devoting a few paragraphs to Elvis Costello and the Smiths, who now are considered part of the "rock pantheon" of genius performers, and giving no respect to the synth-pop groups like Depeche Mode. Now, "critical reappraisal" happened, starting around 1998 or 1999, and it's put them in their respected place. As well, hipsters have taken on the '80s as their retro decade of choice.
I agree that Gen Xers getting older, having kids, and getting respected positions has something to do with this change. Somebody born in 1965 is 40 or 41, for example....they're roughly at the same position boomers were c. 1986, when the first boomers were turning 40. Gen Yers who respect and are reviving the '80s as a retro trend is another part of this, people born during the '80s and early '90s who are heavily interested in them. I think the '80s are sort of newer today than the '50s were in the '70s. As I've said before, the '80s saw the changes that led us to where we are today, for better or for worse, including the rise of conservatism, the faltering of the middle-class, heavy duty sprawl and corporatization, the rise of total media, yuppification, and many technologies that we take for granted today.
About the period piece thing...I just read The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, published in 1921 about 1871, which was just after the civil war, and seemed like an incredibly ancient time by then. The country had little heavy industry, not all the southern states were even part of the union, and there were next to no Southern and Eastern Europeans in the country. By 1921, it was post world war I, women had the right to vote, there was prohibition, everything was fully industrialized, there were cars and airplanes and railroads everywhere, and southern and eastern europeans were everywhere. It's about the same as somebody writing a book about the mid-'50s now. By 50 years, something seems quite old.
The '90s are in the same position now that the '80s were in the '90s. Old, but not retro...in the limbo between current and "retro." I was watching a Tori Amos video compilation, and watching "Crucify"'s video made in 1992, and it's in that in-between state. The spare, rather wintry graphic feel with alot of blacks and pales and the "trendy" photographic manipulations of the early '90s, the cheerleader and wood crate motif, Tori's dreadlocky dyed red hair all sort of scream 1992. But you still couldn't honestly call it retro.
If it's 20 years old or more, then its fair game to be called retro. I called anything at least 20 years or more retro when I was a kid. It still weirds me out to hear the 80s being thought of as retro, classic or "my mom and dad's time", not as much as it did back in 2000 or so...but yeah it can still give me that melancholy feeling that time has passed. But right now, I am becoming more accepting of it. I did the same thing for anything 20 years or more when I was a kid, so I can't hold it against current kids for doing the same.
But Marty, I know how you are feeling, it all sneaks up on you. Every once in a while I think back to when I first started college in the 1993 and 1994 years, a lot of people from back then that were still in their 20s and acting loose, carefree, basically still like "kids",...are today these middle aged looking late 30s or 40-41 year olds. So much changed in 12-13 years. Even in the last 9 or 10 years. Believe me, I know what you are feeling.

However, I don't think for most teens today the '80s are their parents time. I'd say the average parent of a classmate of mine was born 1958-1962 or so, and came of age in the mid-late '70s.
Written By: mach!ne_he@d on 09/03/06 at 2:04 am
Yeah, that's about right I'd say. My parents time was in the '80s, but the parents of most of the people I went to school with were born in the late '50s early '60s.
Written By: Marty McFly on 09/03/06 at 5:38 am
Yeah, the only current teens with '80s teen parents would be people who had a kid at age 17 or 19 in the late '80s maybe (which some did). But it's not "the norm" and won't be for at least a few more years. '70s teens are definitely still the average age for the parent of a teen now.
Isn't it also an odd feeling if you haven't seen someone for awhile too? And hence, are still picturing the person from when you last knew them.
When I was a kid, I tended to think of anyone under 30, and even a few older than that, as "cool" or "young" (based on certain people we knew - i.e. babysitters I had from the neighborhood who were maybe in their 20s at the time and still did dumb things like donuts in the parking lot with their car, lol). I have to remind myself that those youthful acting 27 or 28-year olds in 1989 would be in their mid 40s, and quite possibly married with 3 kids and working at a Fortune 500 company. I've slowly gotten used to that, as strange as it is.
On the flip side of the fence, I also find it strange how I'm relating to people several years younger than me and no longer thinking anything of it (even though I'm pretty easygoing and can get along with almost anyone). Like I can hang out with 18 and 19-year olds from community plays that I do or class, for instance, and I don't feel like the "older", out of place guy in the group or anything. Yet, when I was 17 and they were 10 or 11 where I would've thought they were just little kids, that seems like a milisecond ago too.
As I've said before, the '80s saw the changes that led us to where we are today, for better or for worse, including the rise of conservatism, the faltering of the middle-class, heavy duty sprawl and corporatization, the rise of total media, yuppification, and many technologies that we take for granted today.
Excellent post. I also agree, since the '80s introduced, or at least "household-ifyed" so many things we have today that we don't even think twice about, I've always felt that makes them only old by virtue of numbers. As a time itself, it seems not too long ago for people knowledgeable on it (and not a 10 or 12-year old kid who blends the older decades together out of not knowing).
I mean, let's just say a typical 2006 looking person with their Ipod and typical street clothes was sent back to about 1982. Aside from the tech gadgets or some common hip hop slang phrases everyone kinda uses now, I don't think they'd be too out of place. But someone from 1982 in 1969, would probably be lost. Or if they were sent two full decades to 1962, forget it. That'd be beyond ancient on many political and world levels, not just tech.
^ Again, I think that was part of BTTF's appeal and its magic. The two times felt like totally different eras just connected by common teenage themes. That wouldn't feel so weird with 2006 and 1976. Point out the '80s to someone and it's basically just "Oh man, they had such wild hair" or something. ;D

The '30s-'60s seem to be so commonly referenced in the '80s that whenever I'm reading something about that era, I start thinking about it as '80s, and then I'm like "Wait, it's just the '80s perception of something older that I'm thinking of." On the split level that the '80s were the most ruthlessly modernity-obsessed decade since the '50s, in terms of trying to absorb new technology and lifestyles, they also were obsessed with a "simpler time", really anything before 1970.
I was watching Sixteen Candles a little while ago, actually, and I remember that it seemed very applicable to '00s teen life, in some ways more than the '90s. Just substitute "new wave" for "emo/indie", say. There's also a scene where Molly Ringwald's little brother is going around totally distracted on his walkman, which you could easily substitute an iPod for.
Well the culture itself was VERY different in the 1950s and 1960s America. There was a much more conformist mentality, you had racial segregation and discrimination. More sexist attitudes and just an overall old fashioned mentality. Maybey that's why it was so hard for me and perhaps you to hear the 80s are "20 years ago". When I was a kid, "20 years ago" was the 60s and that looked and felt like a world away. You at least had laptop computers in the 80s, but in the 60s they were still getting excited over "a computer that could fit inside a single room".
Here's what I used to think of people older then me when I was a kid:
I thought 30 year olds were like middle aged, and 40 and over was old. But then I got to my mid 20s, and realized that 40 is only 15 years away and pretty damn young! I turned 31 this year, and realized that I took my first real step to 40. Amazing how fleeting time is. And I remember when I entered my mid 20s I wondered if teenagers would still think I am cool, in recent years I don't give a rats ass anymore what some kid thinks.
^ The '50s and 60s definitely, while modern in basic ways, had so many old-fashioned things about them too that would've been totally inapplicable to life a mere 2 decades later. Just the thought of having to sit in the back of a bus because you're black must've seemed like this ancient barbaric 19th century thing. So 20 years ago sure felt old then.
Yeah, 40 isn't the old age people sometimes make it out to be. I'd say 85 or 90 is about the typical lifespan for a healthy person now, so that's not even the midpoint of life for most people. Plus, there's alot of late 20s, 30s and even a few 40-somethings who still act somewhat like "kids", so that does give it a younger air to it than a 40-year old in 1955, whom would've probably seemed ancient and blowharded.
I know what you're saying about the appearing cool thing in the past, too. I wouldn't say I so much felt it with teens (personally, I always viewed anyone within about 12 years of me was like an older/younger sibling type), but I definitely did with little kids a few years ago. Like, when I was 18 or 19 and I'd have some 7-year old kid at work call me "Sir", that freaked me out a little like Geez kid, I'm not your dad's age!, but now it's no big deal.
I know you are in your mid 20s, and for many that can be a hard transition time. I know it was for me. I didn't like realizing that I was getting older and no longer a "kid" or truly part of the youth culture the way you are as a teen. I even remember looking at people your age and feeling bad, because I didn't get all the N'SYNC, BSB and Britney stuff that was the rage in the early '00s. It felt so bad to feel as though you were kicked out of the youth culture because you're 25 or so. But as you get older, I think some of it becomes easier to accept.
The reason it's hard is because you never think you will get older as a kid, and it's a surprise that you do, and it's a surprise to watch babies and little kids grow up,...when you sorta would think they would stay that way. Believe me, back in the early 00s I was freaking out that I was in my mid 20s with 30 in my rear view mirror. Then you turn 30, and realize it was no big deal at all. There's so much more life to live, and it's not such a big deal that the kid years are gone.
It can still be a melancholy feeling for me, but like I said you realize there is so much more to life then staying in some piddly youth culture where the latest song/slang word or fad is the most important thing in life, and being a weekend warrior, getting drunk is all there is.
^ Well said. I felt that way from age 17/18-21 moreso (i.e. feeling weird that I was an actual kid less than a decade ago, and here I suddenly was an "adult" with responsibilities) but I still identify with that feeling.
I was never deep into any of the so-called "teen oriented" stuff anyway, so transitioning wasn't as hard for me there. My personality is definitely "big kid" in some ways, but it's subtler, so it's nothing that'll look out of place when I'm 35 or 40. I never really had to change myself and grow up out of my wild ways (when they weren't really there to begin with, lol), if you know what I mean.
That's true, isn't it? The '80s wanted a mix of '50s-styled innocence with futuristic technology.
Yeah, as exaggerated as they may be, alot of those John Hughes movies are very, very applicable to teen life with slight modifications. They do also seem to fit in more with the '00s than the '90s, now that you mention it. Sabrina's little brother Mike, kinda reminds me of some of the typical obnoxious 10-year old kids (although he'd be about 30 or 31 now!). The Breakfast Club could be made today probably, too.
Hmm, what about it do you think makes it that it would fit in better with the '00s than the '90s, exactly? I think it has something to do with the preppie/"bohemian" contrast and the very dramatic, corny element that was despised in the "whatever" '90s. Clueless is the archetypical '90s teen movie.
As I've said before, the '80s were very conflicted between wanting the innocence of earlier generations, which to them really meant anything pre-1970, and having the sense of obsession with futurism only matched by this decade and the '50s and early '60s. I was reading about the obsession with frozen vegetables because they were "modern" in the '50s...people back then had a serious obsession with it, copied by the '80s and '00s obession with conspicuous gadget consumption.
Yeah, the '80s were very "preppie", just the look in general (i.e. being obsessed with fashion, especially the wilder the better). I think that, and the general high school stereotypes, seem to be more '80s/00s than '90s, where it was more cool to, say have that homeless guy look with a goatee and wear flannel in the Summer. Both the '80s and '00s were more tech obsessed and materalistic too.
Maybe it's just purposeful for the effect of these certain movies, but have you noticed that both many '80s and '00s movies tend to portray parents of teens as being either extremely "old fashioned/uncool/strict" or freewheeling and too wild (usually the former, though)? I've seen several Lifetime movies of the '00s that have the "out of touch parents" commonality to them.
I agree the '50s-1963 era was very futuristic looking in a "world" sense. That was also when mass amounts of people tried predicting what the year 2000 would be like, or becoming obsessed with space travel, or Jetsons-like household gadgets they thought we'd all have in 30 or 40 years. JFK, before his assassination, I think immortalized this "innocent but futuristic" worldview. Kinda like "Hey, the world's gonna be alright, but we don't want to push the envelope too much either". Circa 1962 was the beginning of the Civil Rights movement really picking up steam, but the times were still really conservative too.
Jerry Springer once commented on this era, when he started college, saying the world seemed alot bigger and limitless, and how even by 1965, that all seemed to change for everyone. I sorta see what he means.
Yeah, the '80s were very "preppie", just the look in general (i.e. being obsessed with fashion, especially the wilder the better - I think that, and the general high school stereotypes, seem to be more '80s/00s than '90s, where it was more cool to, say have that homeless guy look with a goatee and wear flannel in the Summer).
I wonder what would be a typical '90s Breakfast Club, c. 1994?
I think the "Claire"/Molly Ringwald character would be sort of like Alicia Silverstone's role in Clueless. The "Andy" character would be "Andy" in a backwards baseball cap and a varsity jacket. The Anthony Michael Hall/"Bryan" character would be a sort of a video store clerk type gaming nerd. The "Bender"/Judd Nelson character would be a really rebellious, gritty grunge-y type. Ally Sheedy's character would probably be some "riot grrl" Courtney Love/Liz Phair type. Maybe an additional two characters for the movie would be a hip-hop guy and some folk-y Tori Amos type.
That sounds right. Do you think the comic book guy from The Simpsons is a certain stereotypical '90s type? Video gaming and card collecting, and even computers in general were kind of a "nerdy/dorky yet cool" thing in the pre1997 '90s.
Yeah, I think he fits into that. The '00s version of BC would be:
Claire-A preppie princess obsessed with The O.C. and going to parties with college boys.
Andy-Basically, the same thing as Andy. That one doesn't change. Maybe a little bit preppier and likes rap alot.
Bryan-Basically unchanging....but likes dorky emo and alternative emo like Bright Eyes.
Allison-Sort of a "fringey", vaguely emo type.
Bender-Has gouged ears and lots of piercings and likes nu metal.
Maybe some hipster type, too.
