Yoruba Tennis Club decries menace posed by trucks on Lagos Roads
Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo
The Yoruba Tennis Club, Lagos has expressed grave concern over incessant menace posed by trucks parked on Lagos roads and the consequent negative effect on the economy of the state as well as the discomfort caused other road users.
The Club, in a statement issued at the weekend and signed by its Chairman, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo, said the club, at its monthly Business Luncheon recalled that for a long period of time, these trucks had constituted themselves into a nuisance of sorts, blocking the roads, particularly from Ikorodu Road and Oshodi-Apapa Expressway through to the various inner access roads in Apapa leading to the ports.
The Club commended the efforts of the Lagos State Government and the recent visits of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as well as the Vice President, including the meetings held with the stakeholders, among others.
It appealed for additional designated truck parks to be made available immediately to accommodate the trucks in the short run, as the available spaces could be within tank farms and other warehouse premises with spaces enough to park the trucks.
According to the club, "the trucks at the tail end of the long queue should be turned back to other truck stations outside the state, such as the Ogere Park. There should be dialogue and continuous engagement with the stakeholders and the unions, including security agencies to ensure the implementation and enforcement of the no parking on roads order as well as the law preventing heavy duty trucks from entering the city of Lagos any time before 7.00pm."
The club called for strengthening, empowering and reinforcing the special task force that was already set up, urging the state government to ensure the timely completion of the Iganmu truck park to accommodate the trucks.
In the medium term, the club urged the Lagos State Government to enter into a Joint Venture Partnership with the Ogun State Government to provide modern digital truck parks that would deploy a call up system for the trucks to ensure orderliness in coming into the city of Lagos and to the Ports such that the trucks would be in controllable batches.
It also called for palliative repairs on the roads leading to the ports, while the state government should not relent in her efforts of getting rid of all obstacles that might constitute a clog in the wheel of progress for the state.

For a sports lover cheering for his/her favourite team from the stadium gallery while munching on crispy hot dog is the ultimate love, is not it? Now, there is good news for all those hot dog lovers in USA, as a recent SEIA data shows around 6 million hot dogs will be sold using solar system at ballparks, the famous baseball park in the country.
Ballparks is not the only stadium opting for solar energy. in an attempt to improve the sustainable profile of their power generation, an ever-growing number of sports venues have taken on the use of solar energy. due to their ability to reach enormous numbers of fans worldwide, sports have always been a vital platform for value promotion. Solarisation of stadiums and other sport venues was achieved through wide-scale initiatives in many areas. International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to include environmental protection measures as one of the requirements for a successful bid to host the Games is one of the largest initiative of this kind. both in Olympic stadiums and in the supporting facilities, PV systems and heat collectors have been popular renewable energy technologies.
One of the prominent solar associations in USA, Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) have published data very recently that shows solar systems have been installed at facilities across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, NASCAR and IndyCar. The report further indicated that the total cumulative capacity in professional sports has reached 46 megawatts (MW), which is enough to power nearly 8,000 American homes. In past 3-years, nearly half of the total capacity has been installed, according to the report. Around 42 million Americans attended an event at a stadium, arena or raceway with a solar system, the data explained.
SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper said, "This data is further proof that solar energy is a meaningful contributor to America's energy portfolio." The President also added that nationwide ballparks and stadiums are investing in solar to save money on costly electricity bills and demonstrating that clean energy is a smart business choice for the future. "Solar is becoming so commonplace on sports stadiums and arenas that all of the 2018 champions thus far have been teams with solar facilities," he said.
professional football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, NASCAR and the IndyCar series, all leading sports leagues in the United States boast sizeable solar assets. with solar at 32%, the NFL has the highest percentage of stadiums, however, both the MLB and NBA aren't far behind at 30% each. Interestingly, all of the major sporting championships have been won by teams with a solar facility (Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Capitals and Golden State Warriors) so far in the current year.

For some reason I've been thinking a lot about hungry and foolish lately. I hitchhiked a lot in the 1980s (see my interview and City Paper article), and had some pretty wild (and frequently foolish) adventures.
So on the advice of Brand and Jobs, I dug out an old journal from my 1985 hitching trip around Europe and started reading it… below are some excerpts. In total I hitched about 3000 miles in Europe and another 3000 in the US, during and after college. It was great.
As context, Reagan was President then, and the world seemed doomed by the spread of nuclear weapons and Reagan's authoritarian government. But that didn't stop me, and the friends who joined me along the way, from feeling the infinite possibilities of the road.

Good for you Mtsportsfan. I appreciate your values.
I'm on the side that it means different things for different people, or it can mean nothing at all.
I personally find it disrespectful to the men and women in uniform and everyone that has served. Which is really my only gripe about the whole situation. Like those aren't civilians escorting our flag to midfield. So, not respecting the flag and anthem is directly insulting to them and indirectly to everyone else.
The sad part is people in America have no idea how lucky they are to live here. It is literally the only haven left for free thought, free speech, and free expression. Check out guys like Jordan Peterson on Canada and bill 316, that was a pretty big deal. Countries like the UK, Canada, Australia and Switzerland are all "under the thumb."
I could care less what NFL athletes think or do. They all have an over inflated ego that makes them think the world is constantly watching them for direction, it's just too bad it's actually half true.

Q: Why binding same function to keyboard modifies way that tkinter buttons work? I have function which adds number to tk.StringVar(). I'm creating numeric buttons for my Gui in loop. It worked perfect until I tried to add binds to keyboard. Now clicking on keyboard e.g. 7 will behave as expected. StringVar() will be appended by 7, but when I try to use my mouse to click Gui button it adds 1. Instead 7 I will get 17 now. Removing those two self.binds brings back proper way of working for Gui buttons. Here is my code:
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

class Gui(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.user_input = tk.StringVar()
        tk.Label(self, textvariable=self.user_input, font=("Times New Roman",30)).grid(row=0, column =0)
        for button in self.create_buttons(self): button.grid()

    def write(self, *_, button=None):
        current = self.user_input.get()
        if button:
            current += button
        else:
            current = current[:-1]
        self.user_input.set(current)

    def create_buttons(self, frame):
        buttons = []
        for x in range(10):
            func = lambda *_, x=x: self.write(button=str(x))
            buttons.append(ttk.Button(frame, text=str(x), command=func))
            self.bind('<'+str(x)+'>', func)
            self.bind('<KP_'+str(x)+'>', func)
        buttons.append(ttk.Button(frame, text="<-", command=self.write))
        self.bind("<BackSpace>", self.write)
        return buttons

Gui().mainloop()

What am I missing here? Why self.bind modifies my program that way and why it adds exactly 1, not any other number? How can I correct it?

A: So the only change you need to do in your code is in the create_button() function and its:
def create_buttons(self, frame):
        buttons = []
        for x in range(10):
            func = lambda *_, x=x: self.write(button=str(x))
            buttons.append(ttk.Button(frame, text=str(x), command=func))
            self.bind(str(x), func)
            self.bind('<KP_'+str(x)+'>', func)
        buttons.append(ttk.Button(frame, text="<-", command=self.write))
        self.bind("<BackSpace>", self.write)
        return buttons

this will stop the weird behavior of adding 1 to the desired key. to bind the key stroke of numeric value or even simple char you need only the string representation of that value for more sophisticated presses you can see the bind() table in the following link. You don't need to add the "<",">" to bind the desired numeric key.
If you still want to keep the notion with the "<",">" you can do it with the following line instead of the one mentioned above without "<",">":
self.bind('<KeyPress-'+str(x)+'>', func)

you can see the full dodumantion on proper bindings etc here

Self-employed? Join a co-op.
The new tax year is starting and will see record numbers of people over the next twelve months filing returns as self‑employed workers.
Our new report, Not Alone by Alex Bird, Pat Conaty and Philip Ross tracks current levels of self-employment and the ways in which co-ops can help freelancers meet shared needs.
4.6 million people are now self-employed – the highest numbers in the UK since record began – and the numbers are likely to rise further, not least because it is an option that appeals to many people. One in four people (27%) of employees in medium-sized firms in research for the report say they would rather be self-employed.
In response, freelancers are starting to club together to form co-ops where they are better placed acting together rather than operating alone.
An example is RICOL. The service for interpreters in London was shaken up when the Government in 2011 moved from a national register of public service interpreters to a contract for all of England and Wales from a single provider, won by Applied Language Solutions, owned by Capita. To deliver on the contract, the firm then offered court interpreters work at what was in effect between 25% and 40% of the established rate.
There was a mass refusal to sign up and a protest group was launched, Interpreters for Justice. Many new interpreters hired by ALS were poorly qualified. Severe delays and chaos in the courts were widely reported in the press.
With help from Co-operatives UK, RICOL was established in November 2012 as a London-based interpreters and translators co-operative. They are now generating new work and contracts with law firms, commercial companies, human rights organisations and media companies.
It is early days for co-ops like these in the UK, but there are inspiring examples from overseas to learn from, such as the Self Employed Women's Association in India, a trade union and co-operative network giving voice and opportunity to 1.7 million members.
Self-employment means that you take on the risks and the opportunities that the economy affords you. By coming together in co-ops, freelancers can share the risks and pool the opportunities.
You are on your own, but not alone.

Such an interesting area, full of potential for co-operatives. Very interesting.
PS: Many years ago I pondered the feasibility of a co-operative of lawyers in Portugal. Not possible at the time; had to be a standard model.
The Cooperativa Integral Catalana or CIC (http://cooperativa.cat/en/) is in part a solution in the self-employment space, in response to the requirement under current Spanish law for self-employed workers to pay monthly social security fees of around €300. By being a member of the cooperative these charges don't apply.

Soldo Finds Fintech Niche In Streamlined Spending
03 Sep 2020 | 11.41 am
Interview with CEO Carlo Gualandri
Every employee can have a Mastercard payment card using the Soldo platform, writes Robert O'Brien
Fintech company Soldo has been filling its coffers with big fundraisers to finance Europe-wide expansion. CEO Carlo Gualandri can think of a few reasons why investors are interested. "We're boring but we're also stable and necessary, and we're in a market that is willing to pay," he says
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in London, Soldo has developed a smart payment card system for businesses. In most firms, the company plastic is reserved for a handful of top executives, and usually it's a credit card. With Soldo, everybody who is incurring expense on behalf of the company can have a Mastercard debit card, each one with individual spending limits.
"Thanks to integration with your accounting software, we make it easy and quick to manage and reconcile all company expenses," Gualandri explains. "We're here to complement the traditional business credit card with more advanced and innovative financial services.
"You can give Soldo cards to some or every employee, to entire teams or even contractors, deciding who can access company money and the rules they need to follow to spend it. Through the mobile app and web console, managers can establish budgets and rules, track spending in real time and instantly transfer funds to all card holders."
Integration with company accounts is easier with some systems than others. Soldo claims it has "the world's most complete API connection" to Xero, sending transactions daily via an automatic bank feed. For QuickBooks and Sage, it's a case of exporting transaction data from Soldo in a variety of file formats and then importing them to the office accounts system.
There are two price plans: an entry-level plan that costs €5 per card per month and a premium option with more features for €9 per month. "Most competing banking products are single-user programmes but Soldo is a multi-user solution," says Gualandri. "It can manage spend for an entire organisation with as many users as you want. If you compare us with other solutions, we don't just handle payments but everything that comes after the payment too."
Based in London, Soldo put down roots in Dublin in 2019 to avail of passporting rights to sell across Europe from Ireland in case the UK and the EU fail to reach agreement on financial services during ongoing Brexit negotiations.
Securing Central Bank of Ireland approval was a tortuous process, though Gualandri says IDA Ireland was helpful. "Securing the e-money license in Ireland was more challenging than in the UK but we used it as an opportunity to raise our own standards," he adds.
Since being established, Soldo has raised upwards of $80m, including a c.$60m funding round in 2019, which was led by Battery Ventures and Dawn Capital. It helps that Gualandri is a seasoned entrepreneur, having previously founded ventures in online banking, gaming and advertising. Ongoing software development is not cheap, and localisation for different markets is costly too.
"Raising money is like having debt – it's better if you can create value without needing the money. However, we built something that requires a lot of investment and we still have a heavy cost base because of how many people we employ."
Soldo's platform is available to Irish businesses but the company's primary focus is expanding across mainland Europe, where it has signed up c.60,000 customers.
"Our core markets are the UK, Italy and Ireland but we wanted to be pan-European from the very first day," says Gualandri. "We currently have localised products for additional markets that include Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands, and we should have a localised product ready for Sweden in the summer."

U.S.–China Week: U.S. strategy calls China 'revisionist power' and 'competitor'; drumbeat of China-focused trade moves (2017.12.18)
Welcome to Issue 121 of U.S.–China Week. I'm back in Oakland after a busy trip to Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuzhen, Zhejiang, where I had the chance to attend the Chinese government's World Internet Conference. This edition covers the new National Security Strategy and a gathering tide of trade and investment action by the U.S. government, but first:
Before the Wuzhen show, the New America DigiChina team and our CSIS colleague Samm Sacks published "China's Cybersecurity Law One Year On: An Evolving and Interlocking Framework"—our effort to summarize what has already emerged and what's still a work in progress a year after the law's text was released and six months after it officially took effect.
After the Wuzhen show, we observed that a (to us) crucial speech by new Politburo Standing Committee Member Wang Huning at the conference had not been published in full. Based on audio, we transcribed and translated the speech, which goes into some detail on cyberspace policy, including cross-border data flows. This New America post by Rogier Creemers, Paul Triolo, Jennifer Meng, and myself.
Happy news: U.S.–China Week was listed in "SupChina Sources 2017," which provides a great compilation of resources on China and the world from the folks who bring us SupChina and the Sinica podcast. Congrats to the many colleagues and subscribers out there who were also recognized.
After today, U.S.–China Week is going on winter vacation, both to take time off for the holidays and to plan for this project's future. I commit to being back with you by February 9, the third anniversary of the first "beta" edition. Thanks for reading, writing, and arguing—and see you in 2018!As always: Please encourage friends and colleagues to subscribe to U.S.–China Week. Here is the web version of this issue, ideal for sharing on social media, and you can follow me on Twitter at @gwbstr. Please send your comments, quibbles, and suggestions to [email protected].
Trump 'National Security Strategy' positions China, Russia as 'revisionist powers'; Official won't say Trump has read it
The White House today released a new National Security Strategy, Trump's first and the first since Obama's last document in 2015. Here at Transpacifica, I excerpted the main sections having to do with U.S.–China relations and made some comments. I'll mention a few here, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that this document may not reflect the behavior of the president. Indeed, a spokesperson for the National Security Council told CNN: "I can't say that [Trump] has read every line and every word" of the big-splash new document. This fact is of a kind with broader Trump administration policymaking: Bureaucrats working with a variety of agendas and at varying levels of professionalism may produce visions, but execution at the presidential level is subject to Trump's own erratic style. Professional bureaucratic counterparts in other capitals, and certainly in Beijing, are left without reliable signals except to say that a remarkably less friendly framing of U.S.–China relations made it past final approvals to be introduced by a Trump speech.
The strategy, whatever its strategic weight, signals attention to intellectual property and the U.S. "National Security Innovation Base (NSIB)," introduced in this document in a paragraph that begins, "Every year, Competitors such as China steal U.S. intellectual property valued at hundreds of billions of dollars." This plays into the trade and investment developments below—and it reflects the rather Beijing-compatible Trump administration argument that "economic security is national security"—a phrase highlighted in today's strategy.
At the most basic level, China is highlighted as one of "three main sets of challengers—the revisionist powers of China and Russia, the rogue states of Iran and North Korea, and transnational threat organizations, particularly jihadist terrorist groups."
Perhaps the broadest statement of explicit separation from past China policy is this: "For decades, U.S. policy was rooted in the belief that support for China's rise and for its integration into the post-war international order would liberalize China. Contrary to our hopes, China expanded its power at the expense of the sovereignty of others. China gathers and exploits data on an unrivaled scale and spreads features of its authoritarian system, including corruption and the use of surveillance. It is building the most capable and well-funded military in the world, after our own. Its nuclear arsenal is growing and diversifying. Part of China's military modernization and economic expansion is due to its access to the U.S. innovation economy, including America's world-class universities."
Paired with the observation that "great power competition has returned," it's hard to conclude that the drafters envision substantial cooperation with China. Add to that the apparently imminent U.S. actions against China on trade issues, and U.S.–China relations appear to be in for much more friction. The grand caveat is at the top of the U.S. government; I'm not going to make confident predictions of where the Trump administration or the president's own inclinations will go—especially when I'm stepping away from the newsletter for several weeks.
Much more to digest in my fuller jottings on China-relevant passages.
TRADE TIDES
U.S. charges three Chinese for hacking U.S. firms, and reports link their cybersecurity firm to the Chinese government
Three Chinese hackers working for a company known as Boyusec were charged for hacking three companies and taking "trade secrets," "proprietary commercial data," and "proprietary and confidential economic analyses, findings and opinions" from three separate firms.
The U.S. government announcement included the phrase "commercial advantage" in its headline, and the indictment noted that one of the alleged victims' geographic positioning technologies "had no military applications"—both clear call-outs to the Obama-Xi statements of Sept. 2015 that, as Obama put it, neither government would "conduct or knowingly support cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property, including trade secrets or other confidential business information for commercial advantage."
Though the U.S. releases did not tie the hackers or Boyusec to the Chinese government, security researchers had previously identified Boyusec as the entity behind a hacking group known as APT3 and linked Boyusec to China's Ministry of State Security. Josh Chin of WSJ reported that Boyusec dissolved in the weeks before the announcement and that U.S. officials got "no meaningful response" when they reached out to the Chinese government on this case before going public.
My Yale colleague Rob Williams and Harvard's Jack Goldsmith argued that the indictment "suggests that China is either violating the 2015 deal or exploiting its ambiguities and thus exposing the norm against commercial cybertheft as weak." If Boyusec was indeed acting on behalf of the MSS, that much seems clear.
U.S. formally opposes granting China market economy status at WTO
Reuters reported: "The United States has formally told the World Trade Organization (WTO) that it opposes granting China market economy status, a position that if upheld would allow Washington to maintain high anti-dumping duties on Chinese goods. The statement of opposition, made public on [Nov. 30], was submitted as a third-party brief in support of the European Union in a dispute with China that could have major repercussions for the trade body's future. The U.S. and EU argue that the state's pervasive role in the Chinese economy, including rampant granting of subsidies, mean that domestic prices are deeply distorted and not market-determined." A Xinhua commentary said the U.S. position was "in reckless disregard of the relevant WTO rules."
U.S. probe into Chinese aluminum marks first 'self-initiated' action against major partner in decades
FT reported: "The move to 'self-initiate' an anti-dumping investigation into imports of aluminium sheeting from China marks the first time since 1985 that the US Commerce Department has launched its own investigation without a formal request from industry. The last case was brought by the Reagan administration against Japanese semiconductor imports and came at a time of high trade tensions. A parallel investigation launched on Tuesday into illegal subsidies given to the Chinese sheet industry marks the first time since a 1991 Canadian lumber case that the Commerce Department has self-initiated a probe into subsidies." China's Ministry of Commerce reportedly expressed "strong dissatisfaction."
USTR's 301 investigation report circulating
Politico reported: "Two sources told Morning Trade that USTR has completed a draft report that is now being shared with the interagency committee overseeing the investigation. A USTR spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the report's status, but said it has not gone to the White House and declined to provide any update on when it would be released."
Treasury official: New 'Comprehensive Economic Dialogue' is 'stalled'; Branstad: No U.S. decision on future of BIT talks
FT reported that David Malpass, under secretary of treasury for international affairs, said the new Comprehensive Economic Dialogue was at least temporarily defunkt. "China is not moving in a market-oriented direction so for now the CED is stalled," FT quoted him as saying. "There is not a dialogue on restarting the CED." / U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstand said that, on earlier talks for a U.S.–China bilateral investment treaty that had been progressing quietly through the end of the Obama administration, "the administration has not made the decision whether to go forward."

Q: Referencing list items in templated task list I'm currently looking at how make a task list templated, that all works fine and shows up as an app in the Add Apps area, however in the Task List I want to template there are columns where the content is a reference to another list on the site.

Is there a way to template a collection of lists as part of one application and maintain those relations?
The task list would be created on the same tenant and would be a on a subsite.

A: Unfortunatly lookup list items have to be redone when using a template.  The template will not hold on to the relationships between the list items.  You will hve to delete the lookup values and re-enter them each time you use the template.

Criminal Immigration Consequences for Non U.S. Citizens
On behalf of ScottVassell & LeeCC Law Firm | Mar 14, 2017 | Uncategorized |
While non-citizens seek to avoid any altercation with the law, we know "it" happens. Non-citizens who enter the country legally and are convicted of crimes in the United States are at risk of deportation and removal from the country whenever a crime occurs. The stakes are very high for Permanent Residents and non-immigrant visa holders.
Seeking separate U.S. Immigration counsel along with criminal counsel BEFORE pleading to a crime is advised and essential for 'crim-immigration' cases. The laws impacting U.S. Permanent Residents and non-immigrant visa holders are continuously changing and in flux. For instance,the 4th circuit recently ruled that credit card fraud is not an aggravated felony. Aggravated Felony is a Federal Immigration Classification that limits legal relief available to a non-citizen charged with a crime. This can result in mandatory detention and deportation. Also, in Virginia, possession of certain drug paraphernalia is now being distinguished on a case by case basis from drug possession charges for purposes of determining removability from the United States.
The above examples of recent changes in the law are illustrated to demonstrate the following points:
A crime which makes a non-citizen deportable from the U.S. today, may change tomorrow. A change in the law can promptly remove the crime from the "deportation" list and eliminate risk of removal associated with committing a certain crime.
A criminal lawyer will or should recommend you to speak with an immigration lawyer to find out what the 'state of the law' is on deportation related to the criminal charge, and/or whether there is a crime, which if plead to, would minimize or eliminate the risk of deportation.
If you or your family member are a foreign national and have committed a crime in the United States, it is important to understand that criminal laws and Federal U.S. immigration laws intersect in a complex manner which requires an experienced immigration and criminal counsel teamed together.

National marathon record holder Arne Gabius will hope to finish on the podium of a marathon for the first time in his career. The 37 year-old came very close in Frankfurt in 2015, when he finished fourth, breaking the 27 year-old German record with a time of 2:08:33. Hannover's six year-old course record from Lusapho April of South Africa is just one second faster than Gabius' personal best. "Hannover is one of three spring marathon races where I have to put things right," said Arne Gabius, who dropped out of the HAJ Hannover Marathon close to the 33k mark two years ago due to an achilles tendon problem.

Q: Is there a way to call a Java method from a javascript action inside a view in Notes? I tried calling a Java method from within a Common JavaScript action within a view i created. The javascript itself works fine but as soon as i try to import my java package (as i do in xpages) or try to call the (static) method directly with the path in front my whole script stops working. Is there a way to call java from within javascript in an action or maybe some solution with LotusScript or formula language?
Keep in my mind that i´m not able to simply put my code into an agent and call it, because i have to pass parameters to my java method.
thanks in advance

A: You could wrap your java code in a Rest Service and call that from your csjs.

5 Phenomenal Biopics
August 26, 2013 by Keith
Biopics come in all varieties. Throughout cinema's history we've seen cinematic biographies of prominent historical figures all the way to inspirational individual stories. Often times biopics fall into similar trappings and the results aren't always pretty. But sometimes we get amazing stories of people both good and bad which translates into a fantastic movie experience. So this week I'm looking at biopics that really worked for me. I'm also looking for as much variety as possible so hopefully you'll find something on here you didn't expect. Now with that goal in mind it would be wrong to call this the definitive list. But I have no problems calling these five biopics phenomenal.
#5 – "BRIAN'S SONG" (1971) – I'm a huge sports fan. Whether it's baseball, football, or hockey I really love following sports. But I've sometimes been mixed when it comes to sports movies. There are a ton of biopics in the sports genre but only a few real standouts. One of the great ones is "Brian's Song". It's based on the true and touching story of Brian Piccolo as told by his lifelong friend Gale Sayers. The film chronicles the rivalry which turned to friendship all while weathering storms of racism and terminal illness. The film stars James Caan and Billy Dee Williams and they are fabulous. If you're not familiar with the story I won't ruin it for you. But let me just say you will be moved. It's a rare sports biopic that shouldn't be missed.
#4 – "MASK" (1985) – Some may have forgotten the 1985 drama "Mask". I know I never will. The movie shares the story of Roy "Rocky" Dennis, a teenage boy suffering from an extremely rare disorder called craniodiaphyseal. It leaves Rocky with a severe cranial disfigurement but you would never know it by his vibrant love for baseball cards, aspirations for world travel, and a general love for life even though he faces difficulties most never will. Eric Stoltz is amazing as Rocky. He masterfully brings this young boy to life. Cher is nothing short of brilliant as Rocky's struggling single mother as is Sam Elliott as a loyal and protective family friend. I adore this film and if it doesn't affect you emotionally something may be wrong. It may not be a traditional biopic, but it's one of the best.
#3 – "LA VIE EN ROSE" (2007) – Anyone familiar with the story of acclaimed French singer Edith Piaf knows it was a life filled with highs and lows. In "La Vie en Rose" it is brought to life through the eyes of director Olivier Dahan and through a stunning Oscar winning lead performance from Marion Cotillard. The film's fractured narrative structure and use of flashbacks may not appeal to everyone. But I think it comes together beautifully to show what a difficult life this extremely talented woman had. But I always come back to Cotillard who literally loses herself in this role. Both physically and emmotionally, Cotillard gives a master class in acting. She is tremendous and this was a performance that made her one of my very favorites.
#2 – "A BEAUTIFUL MIND" (2001) – If anyone ever doubted Russell Crowe's amazing range as an actor, "A Beautiful Mind" should easily cure that. Crowe is fantastic here but so is the story of John Nash. Nash is a genius and a master in economics and mathematics. His brilliance takes him on a remarkable journey to Princeton University and eventually to the U.S. government where he serves as a code breaker. But we also learn that John is a paranoid schizophrenic whose intelligence is hindered by delusional episodes. His troubles effects every area of his life including his family. It's a difficult and heartbreaking story to watch yet there's a wonderful warmth that director Ron Howard brings to the table. Simply put, it's a beautiful film.
#1 – "SCHINDLER'S LIST" (1993) – Over the years I've found myself drawn to movies about the Jewish Holocaust. It marked one of the darkest times in our world's history and I'm thankful that cinema gives us an avenue to always remember. There have been many films on the Holocaust but none better than "Schindler's List". The story of Oskar Schindler is heroic, troubling, transformative, and deeply stirring all at the same time. Liam Neeson delivers a career defining performance as he transforms this self-absorbed business opportunist into a man desperate to save as many Jews as possible from the Nazi barbarism. "Schindler's List" is one of the toughest films to watch but it's also one of the most satisfying and rewarding. An incredible film. An incredible story.
There are my five phenomenal biopics. Now it's your turn. I would love to hear what would have made your list. What did I get wrong? Please take time to share your thoughts in the comments below.

I haven't seen most of those but I agree that Schindler's List is truly brilliant. My list would definitely include Milk, Coco Before Chanel and Kinsey.
keith7198 says:	 August 26, 2013 at 3:56 am
There are just so many good biopics. Hope you get a chance to check some of these other films out too.
I'm definitely going to add them to my list. But I also want to add a Royal Affair to my previous list. I've got to do this as a top 10 soon!
Joseph@thecinemamonster says:	 August 26, 2013 at 4:35 am
Love Cotillard in La Vie En Rose and Schindler's List. Terrific post Keith!
Thanks! I'm with you. Love both of those! And there are many others that could have easily been mentioned. Hollywood lives the biopic!
Joseph@thecinemamonster says:	 August 26, 2013 at 12:32 pm
So true, maybe you should expand the list ;).
Mark Walker says:	 August 26, 2013 at 4:58 am
What? No Raging Bull? I'm shocked, man. 😉
Brian's Song sounds interesting, though. I've never actually heard of that before.
Brian's Song was originally a TV movie. But the huge reception eventually granted it a theater release. Strong film.
Raging Bull is absent mainly because of what I mentioned on your recent review – I really need to rewatch it. I remember I loved it but I don't remember enough about it. Plus I kinda figured it would get mentioned! 😉
Fair enough! I do remember you saying that now.
I must check out Brian Song, though. Sounds like something I could get into.
Brian's Song was available on YouTube at one point. The whole movie. I don't really care for watching movies on such small screens but it's one avenue for checking it out.
Nice one, man. I'll try that.
vinnieh says:	 August 26, 2013 at 5:31 am
Great post, Mask is such an emotional film that really touches you.
Glad to hear someone else really loves Mask. It's extremely powerful. It's funny, I haven't seen it in a while yet I remember almost everything about it. I've probably watched it 10 or 15 times, just not recently. Really want to check it out again.
ckckred says:	 August 26, 2013 at 8:06 am
Nice list. My favorite would be between Raging Bull and GoodFellas, followed by 8 1/2.
That's an excellent list itself. Appreciate the mentions.
ruth says:	 August 26, 2013 at 10:18 am
I'm guilty of not having seen 3 of 'em Keith 😦 I haven't heard of Brian's Song but that sounds wonderful. Of course I really need to see La Vie en Rose. Glad to see Schindler's List on here, it's on my top 5 as well 😀
keith7198 says:	 August 26, 2013 at 10:20 am
What about Mask? I really had to put it on here. Have you seen it by chance?
No I haven't yet, but there are sooo many biopics out there I've missed out on as well.
Oh please see it. Mask really is great. So much emotion. I'm really wanting to see it again soon. Would live to see a Flixchatter review of it! 🙂
Hunter says:	 August 26, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Embarrassed to admit I've only seen A Beautiful Mind out of these. Definitely agree with you about Crowe's performance; it's a great one. I have always felt that he should have won an oscar for it instead of his performance in Gladiator the year before. I really have to see Schindler's List one of these days, but I've been too scared to so far.
Hope you get to rewatch Raging Bull at some point! Great great film, I need a rewatch as well. Another great biopic from Scorsese is The Aviator, the first film I saw of his. Leo gives a great performance as Howard Hughes and Cate Blanchett is also great as Katharine Hepburn!
Though my favorite biopic has to Lawrence of Arabia! One of my favorite movies of all time, great cinematography, great performances all around, especially from Peter O'Toole. Fascinating character study of a man you never fully get to know.
Great list! I'll have to check out some more of these films! There are so many biopics to choose from, it's nice to get some other recommendations.
keith7198 says:	 August 26, 2013 at 1:03 pm
Love the mention of Lawrence of Arabia! That's another film I'm hungry to revisit. And Leo was fabulous in The Aviator wasn't he. Still wondering when his Oscar is going to come.
Hunter says:	 August 26, 2013 at 1:04 pm
Aren't we all? ha ha! I'm hoping it'll be this year with The Wolf of Wall Street. I don't know what the internet will do if he gets passed over again!
70srichard says:	 August 26, 2013 at 1:13 pm
This is an excellent list, no problems with it except it leans recent. Brian's Song is a perfect inclusion even though it was a TV film. I can't believe the number of people who said they'd never heard of it. Come on, it's one of the few movies guys are allowed to cry at. Here are some other suggestions from the fabulous 1970s:
The Buddy Holly Story
Bound For Glory
all of them are worthy of your readers attention.
Technically Coal Miners Daughter is 1980.
Great list especially Patton which would have easily made it except I wanted a little more variety. I'm a huge fan of that film.
Brian's Song did get a brief theater release after its TV success.
Jaina says:	 August 26, 2013 at 3:59 pm
I'm just not a fan of the biopic. I can't really think of one off the top of my head I have truly enjoyed. I much prefer watching documentaries about the real people. Biopics… eh. Milk was good. Ali was excellent come to think of it. Maybe I just need to see some more!
Biopics are really hit or miss. When they're good they can be great. They can also be really, really flat if not done well.
sanclementejedi says:	 August 26, 2013 at 9:47 pm
Brian's song always chokes me up.
keith7198 says:	 August 26, 2013 at 10:14 pm
You old softy!!! 😉
VictorsMovieReviews says:	 August 27, 2013 at 3:35 pm
Ah "Brian's Song", the movie that makes all manly men cry–and not have a problem about it.
LOL! Exactly! Such a good story and two really good lead performances.
Eric @ The Warning Sign says:	 August 30, 2013 at 12:46 am
I'm ashamed to admit I have only seen Schindler's List off this list, though I do have A Beautiful Mind coming soon for my project. One of my personal favorite biopics is Capote, but I may be somewhat biased since I watched it immediately after reading In Cold Blood.
Isn't "In Cold Blood" great?
Hopefully you'll get a chance to see some of these soon, especially Mask. It's one that many may not remember or be at all familiar with. It'll hit ya hard though. Very good film.
dbmoviesblog says:	 August 30, 2013 at 3:55 pm
Very nice list. Great to see John Nash's story there, really fascinating one. My list would have included the film 'The Pianist' – the life of a Polish pianist Wladek Szpilman, and, although there is nothing too inspiration here, I love the way they portrayed the life of George Jung in 'Blow' with Johnny Depp.
I'm so glad someone mentioned "The Pianist"! I love that film and it would have made this list except that it will be appearing on a different one really soon. Such a great movie.

Algeria's energy min to devise hydrogen development strategy
Algeria's government has mandated the Ministry of Energy and Mining to map out a national strategy for hydrogen development as the North African country sees potential to become a key player in the region.
Preliminary data shows that Algeria has great potential to play a prominent role in the region thanks to its huge solar resources, the availability of gas and power networks, significant water resources as well as research and development capabilities, energy and mining minister Mohamed Arkab said on Saturday.
A ministerial committee has been set up to work on the strategy. It consists of representatives from the energy, energy transition, higher education and scientific research sectors as well as representatives of start-ups and companies in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors.
During a speech on the use of green hydrogen in the energy transition, Arkab stressed also that the country has a strategic location, ports and facilities necessary for gas transportation that would enable it to meet the local and regional demand for hydrogen.
Now Algeria must prepare an appropriate legislative and regulatory framework, identify priority sectors for hydrogen application, do the necessary research for trial projects, search for financing and develop international partnerships, Arkab added.
The minister concluded that hydrogen development is a strategic issue for the security of the country's energy supply in the long term.

Abstracting / Indexing
American Sociological Review (ASR) is the American Sociological Association's flagship journal. The ASA founded this journal in 1936 with the mission to publish original works of interest to the discipline of sociology in general, new theoretical developments, results of research that advance understanding of fundamental social processes, and important methodological innovations. All areas of sociology are welcome in ASR. Emphasis is on exceptional quality and general interest.
The American Sociological Association (ASA), founded in 1905, is a non-profit membership association dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good. With 12,000 members, ASA encompasses sociologists who are faculty members at colleges and universities, researchers, practitioners, and students. About 20 percent of the members work in government, business, or non-profit organizations. ASA hosts an annual meeting with more than 6,000 participants and publishes 14 professional journals and magazines.
As the national organization for sociologists, ASA, through its Executive Office, is well positioned to provide a unique set of services to its members and to promote the vitality, visibility, and diversity of the discipline. Working at the national and international levels, ASA aims to articulate policy and implement programs likely to have the broadest possible impact for sociology now and in the future.

NOTE: Additional details on preparing manuscripts for ASR are published in the ASA Style Guide (7th ed., 2022) available from the American Sociological Association.
Ethics: Submission of a manuscript to another professional journal while it is under review by the ASR is regarded by the ASA as unethical. Significant findings or contributions that have already appeared (or will appear) elsewhere must be clearly identified. All persons who publish in ASA journals are required to abide by ASA guidelines and ethics codes regarding plagiarism and other ethical issues. This requirement includes adhering to ASA's stated policy on data-sharing: "As a regular practice, sociologists share data and pertinent documentation as an integral part of a research plan. Sociologists generally make their data available after completion of a project or its major publications, except where proprietary agreements with employers, contractors, or clients preclude such accessibility or when it is impossible to share data and protect the confidentiality of the research participants (e.g., field notes or detailed information from ethnographic interviews)" (ASA Code of Ethics, 2018).
Name Change Policy: SAGE has introduced a policy to enable name and pronoun changes for our authors. ASA journals published by SAGE follow this policy. Going forward, all requests to make a name or pronoun change will be honored. This includes, but is not limited to, name changes because of marriage, divorce, gender affirmation, and religious conversion. For more information, read SAGE's Name Change Policy.
All pages must be double-spaced (including notes and references) with margins measuring at least 1 inch (i.e., line length must not exceed 6-1/2 inches).

ASR Articles may not exceed 15,000 words in length including text, references, and footnotes (excluding tables and figures). ASR Comments/Replies should not exceed 3,000 words. Upload Comments and Replies directly into SAGE Track; ASR does not require that Comments first be sent to article authors.
Sections in a manuscript may include the following: (1) Title page, (2) Abstract, (3) Text, (4) Notes, (5) References, (6) Tables, (7) Figures, and (8) Appendixes. Make sure to include a placeholder for all tables and figures in the main text (e.g., insert Table 1 here).
Title page. Please include the following:
Full article title
Acknowledgments and credits
Each author's complete name and institutional affiliation(s)
Grant numbers and/or funding information
Key words (four or five)
Corresponding author (name, address, phone, e-mail)
Abstract. The abstract (150 to 200 words) should not include authors' names or other identifying information.
Anonymized Manuscript. The manuscript should not include the title page, authors' names or affiliations, or any other identifying information. ASR uses anonymous peer reviewers for manuscript evaluation. Delete or rewrite any text that identifies you as the author: when citing your own work, please write "Smith (1992) concluded...," but do not write "I concluded (Smith 1992)...."
Headings and subheadings. Generally, three heading levels are sufficient to organize text. See recent issues for examples.
Citations in the text should provide the last name of the author(s) and year of publication. Include page numbers for direct quotes or specific passages. Cite only those works needed to provide evidence for your assertions and to refer to important sources on the topic. In the following examples of text citations, ellipses (...) indicate manuscript text:
When author's name is in the text, follow it with the year in parentheses—... Duncan (1959).
When author's name is not in the text, enclose the last name and year in parentheses—... (Gouldner 1963).
Pages cited follow the year of publication after a colon—... (Ramirez and Weiss 1979:239–40)
Provide last names for joint authors—... (Martin and Bailey 1988).
For three authors, list all three last names in the first citation in the text—... (Carr, Smith, and Jones1962). For all subsequent citations use "et al."—... (Carr et al. 1962). For works with four or more authors, use "et al." throughout.
For institutional authorship, supply minimal identification from the complete citation—... (U.S. Bureau of the Census 1963:117).
List a series of citations in alphabetical order or date order separated by semicolons—... (Burgess 1968; Marwell et al. 1971).
Use "forthcoming" to cite sources scheduled for publication. To preserve the anonymity, do not in general cite your own dissertations, working drafts, or unpublished papers.
For machine-readable data files, cite authorship and date—... (Institute for Survey Research 1976).
Notes should be numbered in the text consecutively using superscript Arabic numerals. When referring to a note later in the text, use a parenthetical note—... (see note 3)
Equations: Use consecutive Arabic numerals in parentheses at the right margin to identify important equations.
Note should be typed, double-spaced, in a separate "NOTES" section. Begin each note with the superscript numeral to which it is keyed in the text (e.g., "1. After 1981, there were…"). Notes can (a) explain or amplify text, (b) cite materials of limited availability, or (c) append information presented in a table or figure. Avoid long notes: consider (a) stating in the text that information is available from the author, (b) depositing the information in a national retrieval center and inserting a short footnote or a citation in the text, or (c) adding an appendix. Each note should not exceed 100 words.
References are presented in a separate section headed "REFERENCES." All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference section, and vice versa. Publication information for each must be complete and correct. List the references in alphabetical order by authors' last names; include first names and middle initials for all authors when available. List two or more entries by the same author(s) in order of the year of publication. When the cited material is not yet published but has been accepted for publication, use "Forthcoming" in place of the date and give the journal name or publishing house. For dissertations and unpublished papers, cite the date and place the paper was presented and/or where it is available. If no date is available, use "n.d." in place of the date. If two or more cited works are by the same author(s) within the same year, list them in alphabetical order by title and distinguish them by adding the letters a, b, c, etc., to the year (or to "Forthcoming"). For works with more than one author, only the name of the first author is inverted (e.g., "Jones, Arthur B., Colin D. Smith, and James Petersen"). List all authors; using "et al." in the reference list is not acceptable. References for data sets should include a persistent identifier, such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Persistent identifiers ensure future access to unique published digital objects, such as a text or data set. Persistent identifiers are assigned to data sets by digital archives, such as institutional repositories and partners in the Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS). Refer to the ASA Style Guide (7th ed., 2022) for additional examples

PERMISSION: The author(s) are responsible for securing permission to reproduce all copyrighted figures or materials before they are published by ASR. A copy of the written permission must be included with the manuscript submission.
Appendixes should be lettered to distinguish them from numbered tables and figures. Include a descriptive title for each appendix (e.g., "Appendix A. Variable Names and Definitions").
As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process SAGE is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.
The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication's metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

Folk Dance Remixed�is a groundbreaking company creating unique fusions between folk and hip hop styles with live music. Led by Artistic Directors�Kerry Fletcher�and�Natasha Khamjani, the company rediscover old traditions through contemporary forms. Folk Dance Remixed is about generating a creative playground to grow new and innovative ideas of mixing folk dance and music of many cultures with contemporary and street dance styles by making new work and creating a new and exciting fusion.
The initial idea of�Street Dance the Maypole�was launched by East London Dance at Big Dance in 2010 where Natasha and Kerry worked with several schools and arts festivals, including the Barbican, to create upbeat performance pieces and participatory workshops for all ages to join in. In 2011/12 they continued to build and develop the workshop programme, at events such as the Queen�s Diamond Jubilee at Battersea Park, and began to develop their new company,�Folk Dance Remixed, and devise the show,�Step Hop House. Alongside the show they created the�Ceilidh Jam�social dance and pop-up performances and workshops. In 2013 they received their first Grants for the Arts award from Arts Council England. Following a tremendously successful tour over the summer of 2013, including appearances at Sidmouth Folk Week and Stratford Rising Festival, they are excited by the high demand for their work and look forward to more remixes in the future!
Currently Kerry and Natasha are working towards another funding bid to take the show, workshops and Ceilidh Jam on a national tour in 2015. This will include the development of a youth dance company and a programme of holiday courses for young people. With a wealth of ideas for new work during the next few years, for example�Remixed Rapper Sword Dancing�and creating a full-length family show, they will be nurturing new partnerships to enable them to take�their�vision of magical, spectacular performances and participation forwards.
Folk Dance Remixed are most often programmed as part of free arts and community festivals and events and each event has a participatory element with either Street dance the Maypole workshops and/or the Ceilidh Jam Pop Ups and social dances.
A high-energy 30-minute professional performance offering a unique remix of maypole, clogging and ceilidh with street styles including house & breakdance & international folk styles including African & Bhangra�. All set to a live soundtrack with fiddle, banjo, percussion & beatboxing. Performed by a cast of 9 diverse dancers with�4�musicians, this is folk dance like you�ve never seen it before!
A workshop programme that gets the audience learning a funky street dance routine and mixing it with maypole moves, such as the Chrysanthemum Wrap and the Ripple.
Audiences can learn a traditional ceilidh formation dance and fill it with their best freestyle moves and hip hop grooves.
