You're not suppose to talk about trying to get pregnant right?
And you definitely don't talk about miscarriages or infertility. You're just suppose to hunker down, for however long it takes, then come up with a creative way to announce it to friends, family and Facebook if/when it's time to "safely" celebrate. Yup, through the first 7 years of marriage, this is what Ally (my wife) and I thought, too. And while we're not talking to others about it, we're not remotely sure how to talk to God about it.
My wife and I went through a season of secondary infertility while trying to have our third child. As the husband, and with two kids already that came without much difficulty, it took me about 8 months before I would even acknowledge this as "infertility". Ally had already developed some fears about this as we had been through it with close friends in church. It would be about another year and two miscarriages before we were able to conceive our baby girl, Norah.
I had two completely jacked up tendencies as we endured this season: (1) I didn't want anyone to know, including our church family and (2) I prayed the lamest prayers. The prayer part: I've noticed a huge tendency in my entire prayer life where I hedge my bets. It's like I feel like I need to protect God and my faith in Him in case he "doesn't come through".
"God, I only want what you want for us.
A baby would be awesome, but You just do your thing."
This tendency was amplified in early stages of infertility. I prayed as though God was fragile. I wouldn't have vocalized this, but my prayer life indicated it--I thought that if I just prayed gently enough that a baby or no baby could both be interpreted as a "yes" from God, then I could protect this fragile God, that apparently needed my protection, and I could maintain my fearful, fragile faith.
Here's the thing I just had to grow into: God is good and God is faithful. I know you've heard that in church before. I know you probably just rolled your eyes a bit, especially if you're in the middle of this. When the disciples, freaking out, woke Jesus up in the middle of a squall that they thought was going to sink their boat and kill all of them, Jesus' response cracks me up. (my paraphrase) I hear his tone like this: "Are y'all serious? For real? You still don't know who I am and you still don't know my love for you, huh? Welp...(storm stops and sea calms IMMEDIATELY)". I realized that I could come to Him with my fragile faith, but I couldn't come to Him as though He was fragile. That boat could've sank, but He's still so good and He's still so faithful. He had that atemporal perspective, but the disciples didn't. We don't.
Pray Boldly. Pray the prayer you're scared to pray. Trust in His goodness and faithfulness and eternal perspective. Know that that doesn't mean the story ends the way we want it to. But there's nothing fragile about God that needs protecting. Our trust in Him gets rattled sometimes, not because He falters, but because we simply (and thankfully) aren't Him. He loves you. He's totally and completely faithful.
Pray Together. I know the thought process that leads us to keep things private. I'm encouraging you to completely buck that thought process. When you're too scared to pray boldly, let your brothers and sisters do it for you. They're not perfect, and they may even be insensitive at times, but y'all, God knew what He was doing when He designed and empowered His Church. We weep with those who weep and intercede for one another. Let the Church be the Church.
Praying was difficult to do and even understand its role in this season. But if we focus on who He is and who He designed His Church to be, we start to see the answer.

Utah Court of Appeals rejects public retirement benefits claim and issues three other decisions.
|In Utah Court of Appeals, "Binding the Law"
Ostler v Retirement Board and Salt Lake Community College
Ostler appealed the denial of his application or retirement benefits. The panel affirmed. It held that under the plain language of 49-11-501(5), Ostler lost 15 years' worth of credits when he withdrew his contributions and the fact that employer contributions remained was irrelevant as the withdrawal triggered forfeiture as to all contributions and the statute does not provide any mechanism to have service credit base only on remaining employer contributions and provides no claim against the remaining contributions by the employee. It held that Ostler's claim that College failed to enroll him into a retirement plan was barred by claim preclusion as he raised the issue in an earlier suit against College about the same issue and did not appealed the judgment in College's favor.McCamey v State
McCamey appealed summary judgment to State on his post-conviction relief petition. The panel affirmed. It held that McCamey waived his claim that his charges were brought after the statute of limitations ran as he failed to raise it at trial or on appeal and in any event, he waived it by pleading guilty to reduced charges. It held there was no ineffective assistance of counsel by his plea attorney because the communications between the parole officer and the police and resulting investigation into possible offenses by McCamey against victim did not provide actual notice of an offense as the communication was only about suspicious circumstances and victim denied abuse occurred and thus any motion to dismiss on limitations grounds would have been futile.
State v Sanchez-Granado
Sanchez-Granado appealed the denial of his motion to suppress. The panel affirmed. It held there was no clear error in the district court's determination that the detaining officers here had reasonable suspicion based on their experience in investigating drug crimes and the facts that Sanchez-Granado and his passenger sat in a car in a store parking lot for 20 minutes making cell phone calls, did not go into the store, two vehicles came by the car and the passengers got into the car all of which was consistent with drug sales observed in that lot.
In the Interests of A.B. and A.R. (L.E. v State)
L.E. appealed the termination of her parental rights. The panel affirmed holding evidence L.E. hit the children with a belt and a cord, choked and punched them and one had a scar consistent with being burned with a cigarette and was convicted of felony abuse based on these events and is currently incarcerated with no prospect of establishing a normal home within a year was sufficient to support eh ground of neglect and abuse and termination is in the children's best interests as they have bonded with their foster family and both foster parents and children wish to proceed with an adoption and L.E. understood her right to counsel having been appointed two attorneys and she chose to go to trial without counsel after her motion to postpone the trial was denied.
United States Supreme Court holds railroad employee injury cases subject to normal rules of personal jurisdiction; holds sex abuse of a minor for immigration purposes only covers statues which set the age of consent at 16 or lower; and holds in a biosimilar drug case injunctions for not disclosing application and manufacturing information may not be remedied by injunction and that notice of intent to market can be done before a license is obtained.
10th Circuit rejects government effort to increase sentence in kidnapping case; affirms qualified immunity grant to officers who ordered woman to stop praying; rejects effort for further sentence reduction; holds claim preclusion bars truth in lending claim.

Delhi based Hindi Hip-Hop artist "Roopak" drops his new single called "Assal". The beat is produced by OneTone and Mixed/Mastered by SEZ.
"This song is me. It served as a means to discuss something as easy as changing your mind over an incident in your life or a mere comment by the not so friendly people. The trip is to keep at it, changes will show themselves everyday. The moment you think you realized what real/right is, this life surprises you so hard, you can only smile back. The reality so as to speak is that change is constant, whoever or whatever comes and changes your perspective on something becomes the latest truth.


Despite the frequency of adult scoliosis, very few publications concern the conservative orthopaedic treatments. The indications have not been defined to date. The experience of a department specialized in rigid bracing allows us to consolidate and clarify diagnosis and indications as well.
Individual observational prospective cohort study from a database started in 1998, with selection of all 739 adult scoliosis patients for which conservative orthopaedic treatment has been proposed to, even in case of drop-out. Scoliosis treated during adolescence and monitored in adulthood are included if a new brace is prescribed.
A first descriptive study of the main parameters was performed: gender, age, Cobb angle.
A tentative classification according to aetiology, age and angulation is proposed.
The Ratio Female/Male is 88 %, the mean age: 56.97 ± 15.82, the mean Cobb angle: 35.58 ± 17.35. The rate of non-adherent patients not wearing the brace is 17 % (but the plaster cast before bracing was routinely proposed at the time).
Treatment after surgery and in the context of a lumbar stenosis and spondylolisthesis are independent groups.
Despite the wide variety of etiologies, nearly 2/3 of patients have a discal pathology like rotatory dislocation and disc instability. For these patients a short brace can be used. Other patients usually have high kyphotic pathology as Kyphosis or camptocormia. They need a long brace.
The wide variety of adult scoliosis makes any objective classification difficult. This first approach is intended to specify the best indications of bracing in adulthood.
The female ratio is slightly higher than that of the adolescent.
The dropout rate is high and justify improvements with adaptation of bracing to adults.
All proposed etiological groups are statistically significantly different.
The online version of this article (doi: 10.1186/s13013-016-0090-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
The evolution of scoliosis in adulthood is most often pejorative . Although scoliosis in adults is 10 % of the population aged 65, conservative non-surgical orthopaedic treatment is the subject of few publications. Many reasons may explain this lack of publications.
The progression at adulthood is less linear and much more chaotic than during adolescence. As growth is the main factor of progression for AIS; in adulthood, the anatomical aetiologies are much more varied: disc, bone with osteoporosis, muscle, and postural system for the camptocormia which is characterized by forward flexion of the spine when standing or walking and disappears when lying down. It is related to atrophy of the deep muscles of extra-pyramidal origin.
The aims of the treatment are more blurred: pain, cosmetics, postural imbalance, Radiological curve progression and orthotic solutions are more limited for long braces.
Treatment time is much longer than during adolescence and there is hope placed in surgical rapid solutions.
In all published series, the diagnosis is poorly specified . The most significant result seems to involve pain . In some cases, bracing allows to avoid or postpone surgery .
It seemed interesting to publish a long-term prospective study of the solutions used in Lyon for over 50 years and attempt a classification of the main indications.
With approval of the French CNIL (n°1880517), we retrospectively reviewed the prospective database that started in 1998.
The only inclusion criteria was the indication of a rigid brace, usually at the request of the General Practitioner. The study parameters were: age after Risser 5, Cobb angle and diagnosis. All patients are consecutive. The initial diagnosis included 18 categories that were secondarily regrouped into 8 categories (Table 1).
Some diagnostics were grouped as the mean age and average Cobb angle showed no significant difference. For instance, discopathy, lumbar instability, dysfunction and herniated disc. Disabling pain includes: sciatica, neuropathic pain, rheumatic rigidity and disability (Additional file 1).
This is an exhaustive presentation. For example, some young patients have severe pain after Risser 5 or with Cobb angles between 10° and 30°. In fact, we don't treat scoliosis but discal pain.
Statistics were made using the SPSS 20 pack with a Confidence interval of 95 %.
The Lyon Conservative treatment requires: 1. A plaster cast made in a specific standing frame for 3 weeks. 2. A rigid polyethylene bivalve overlapped brace worn for at least 4 h per day. 3. A specific physiotherapy to prevent muscle atrophy . The plaster cast is an indispensable prerequisite for this treatment. Besides the therapeutic role of muscular-ligamentous adjustment of paravertebral tension, it can also be used as a test. The patient must be pain-free while pursuing normal activities. The rigid brace is usually short, the upper limit being at the thoracic base under the breast. (Figs. 1 and 2) When there is a high thoracic kyphosis, the anterior limit is high at the sternoclavicular level.
Descriptive parameters are grouped in (Table 2).
In 14 cases, information on age or Cobb angle was incomplete.
The number of non-adherent patients, ie patients who do not respond to treatment indicated, is 183/739 = 17 % (Table 3).
There is no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups of patients.
In adulthood, it is difficult to talk about non-compliance because the wear time of the brace is 4 h a day for six months and then the brace is worn to the patient's request.
Regroupings according to the aetiology when n > 20 are compared with the group of patients constituting the whole of Statistics and summarized in (Table 4).
The results of patients who completed the treatment will be presented in another publication.
The group after surgery is different from the overall average. Patients are younger and the angle is more important. These results confirm that the decompensation under arthrodesis is faster. The most significant angulation may also explain the quickest decompensation. The brace is not always an alternative to surgery, it can complement and in some cases avoid multiple re-interventions.
The group with rotatory dislocation is the largest and constitutes almost half of the patients. The average age is borderline with statistical significance, the average angulation is significantly higher. The diagnosis is performed on the X-ray with displacement of the spinous processes. Rotatory dislocation is a specific complication of lumbar scoliosis and difficulty of treatment in adulthood justify a conservative treatment during adolescence with short braces.
The group with lumbar instability is the youngest group and the angulation is the lowest which does not justify surgery. The diagnosis is made clinically with pain and mostly a dysfunctional anterior lateral inflexion of the trunk. This instability can be discal or ligamentous in origin. There is no radiological dislocation. Treatment is important because low back pain is the leading cause of disability before age 45.
The group with disabling pain is also younger, but the angulation is not statistically different from the overall average. The diagnosis is difficult without clinical dysfunction and no particular radiological abnormalities. It is the failure of conventional treatments that can justify bracing.
The camptocormia group is the oldest, but the angle was not statistically different. The difficulty in this group, besides age is that camptocormia is most often accompanied by extrapyramidal depression, with less bracing motivation.
For the group with thoracolumbar kyphosis, age is close to the overall average, but angulation significantly greater. The difficulty is the poor tolerance of the sternoclavicular thrust.
The small number of patients with spondylolisthesis confirms the positive evolution of this disease in adulthood. The spinal stenosis often evolves quickly and then the indication is surgical.
All groups are statistically different in terms of age and Cobb angle. The Conservative orthopaedic treatment should be adapted according to these two criteria.
The results of treatment are not the subject of this study.
The descriptive parameters are used to specify the usual indications of bracing 739 scoliosis. The ratio of women (88 %) is higher than during adolescence. The average age is 57 years and the angulation of 35.5°. The rate of non-adherent patients is 17 %.
The statistical study based on the aetiology enabled to individualize 6 characteristic groups depending on the age and Cobb angle: after surgery, rotatory dislocation, lumbar instability, disabling pain, camptocormia and thoraco-lumbar kyphosis. The differences in age and initial angle are significant. The number of Spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis is very low in this study.

A funny thing happened to me recently when I was involved in a text conversation with a friend of mine. I was laying in bed, chatting with a friend using Google Hangouts on my cell phone. At some point it occurred to me the typing on the cell phone was a little tedious, but I didn't have a full keyboard or computer near the bed at that moment, so instead I press the microphone button on the keyboard and activated the Google Voice keyboard. From that point on I used my voice to dictate the messages that I was sending into text.
Google Voice keyboard has a very accurate translation system and makes very few mistakes. In fact, I have to do far less corrections than when I am typing, especially on my small phone keyboard. Google Voice keyboard knows how to spell better than I do. It isn't always familiar with obscure words, but it actually does an amazing job guessing what I mean from the context of the sentence, and is quite aware of many technology and pop culture words. It even knows to capitalize show titles or movie names most of the time.
Talking to a voice translator is a little different than talking to a human, and you get used to the style fairly quickly. I find I talk slower than I do in person, because I am actually composing and thinking in text sentences rather than just words I speak. It's strange at first.
Next, I turn on another APP on my phone, that works in the opposite fashion, and it translates my friends text replies into a voice. So now I am actually talking and listening to my friend, but still using text messages. It occurs to me how absurd this is. In any previous time, we'd simply be on the phone actually talking. In fact, even Google Hangouts has a pretty good quality voice system that would allow me to call him and talk… or even face to face video chat. There is also Skype, or Facebook messenger or Apple FaceTime… and yet, we continue using this multiple step translation system to talk for another 20 minutes.
We've changed society. People prefer texts to actually conversation. Well, to be fair… some people, not all. Certainly phone and voice communication is still popular, but a lot of new generation people are using text as their main communication between friends and even business associates.
It's faster. It's less intrusive. I can send a 140 character or less text to somebody and they can read it without actually having to interrupt their day and talk. They can read it in any mood they're in and react in any manor they chose, and I'm not witness to that. I've just sent a statement and I'm done. They can reply now, or later or never. We can text back and forth while they watch TV or reading a book. We can even have 3 or 4 of 15 conversations open at once. We're learning, through emoticons and emoji how to convey sarcasm or shock or happiness in text. We can convey a smile or a laugh to reward someone for humour.
I've also learned the etiquette that, at least between my friends, it's not rude to just stop replies suddenly. I can be distracted or needed elsewhere. A text conversation can take hours or days to continue. It can pick up where you left off, because the words remain on the screen. I love this about texts. I can say HEY to a friend, and not get a reply for 20 minutes or more, and we can continue on for a few minutes, or continue the conversation later.
Texting really is a great replacement for some phone calls. In fact, many people get angry at phone calls. I can text somebody a few times a day with comments, or sweet sentiment or a great deal I just saw at the mall, and even if they're not answering it right away, they'll see it. If I call them, I may have to leave a voicemail, and they probably won't listen to ot anyway.
I don't want to talk right now. Text me.
It's not as much emotional effort. I don't have to turn on a happy face or a good mood to reply.
It's just the darn typing that gets in the way. When I converse with a friend socially, rather than just for utility, I use full words and sentences. I don't abbreviate things like: R U Happy? I converse in text using the same mental voice I use in words, so that means my replies are often greater than 140 characters. Phones today – or Google Hangouts handle this fine, but it also means replies are delayed a bit. The voice conversion option may seem silly at first, but it keeps everyone happy. We're still using the rules of texting, which means the interruptions are on my terms. No doubt my friend was with his wife at the time, and a phone call would be unwelcome, but a text every few minutes seems a lesser evil. Your partner can still get angry at you texting in certain situations, but that's the beauty. Just stop. Conversation end. Pick up later, when she falls asleep.
Note: This entire blog post was written using Google Voice. I edited later, but most of this text was spoken.

Galaxy Digital Bitcoin Funds Raise $59M as Institutional Cash Flows In
Galaxy Digital's bitcoin funds raised $58.7 million in their first year as predominately high-dollar buyers staked their claim to the surging cryptocurrency.
The institutional fund in particular appears to capture high-rollers' spiking interest in bitcoin. With a minimum investment of $250,000, the $55 million fund attracted 33 investors for an average allocation of $1.6 million.
That's a little less than half of what Galaxy Bitcoin Fund LP managed to raise overall. There, 56 investors pitched in at least $25,000 each for the full $3.6 million raise.
Funds have long appealed to investors who seek exposure to bitcoin's price without having to deal with custody, trade or execution issues themselves. Pantera Capital launched one of the first such vehicles in 2013; it now has north of $135 million in sales.
A third entity, Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin Fund, Ltd, reported raising $45 million from 13 investors Wednesday. It was not immediately clear if that fund, which had a $100,000 minimum investment, was directly related to Institutional LP.

3 Measures To Drive Economy
Economy, News Updates
A total of RM20.7 billion will be contributed to increasing the disposable income of the people through three measures announced by the government.
The main contributor to this is the zero-rating the Goods and Services Tax (GST), effective June 1. This will result in RM17 billion of combined savings by Malaysians for the rest of the year.
GST will be replaced by the Sales and Services Tax starting from September 1 this year.
The second measure that is expected to release RM3 billion to the people is the move to stabilise the prices of RON95 and diesel at RM2.20 and RM2.18 per litre respectively.
The final contributor comes in the form of Hari Raya special assistance for civil servants and pensioners, which total RM700 million. This will benefit 1.2 million out of the 1.6 million civil servants.
These measures would drive consumer spending, as well as improve consumer optimism and business profits, said Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.
However, experts are concerned that these measures may result in a higher budget deficit of the country, with some economists estimating it to be above 3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Lim assured that the government will maintain the budget deficit at 2.8% of the GDP through several measures.
One of these measures is cutting RM10 billion from government expenditure through the deferment, review, and renegotiations of "high-price projects".
Some of these "high-price projects" are the renovation and rehabilitation works of Sultan Abdul Samad building in Kuala Lumpur that cost RM350 million, the cancellation of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) and mass rapid transit phase 3 (MRT3) projects that are worth at least RM100 billion, and cutting of expenses in non-essential professional and consulting services, refurbishments, events and promotional activities and selected ICT upgrading.
The government also expects to get an additional RM5.4 billion in petroleum taxes from the rise in global crude oil prices. Budget 2018 was prepared based on crude oil price of US$52 (RM207) per barrel. However, the price of crude oil is expected to average US$70 (RM278) this year.
Additional revenue can also be expected from government-linked companies, such as Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Bank Negara and Petronas in the form of dividends, totalling RM5 billion, while RM4 billion will be contributed with the implementation of the SST.
The net effect on the overall Federal Government budget is an increase in deficit by RM300 million to RM40.1 billion.

What you may need to know:
1. I recall reading somewhere that Stephen King has had more works adapted for the big screen than any other author; Shakespeare or Dickens (or Danielle Steel) might disagree, but where multiple adaptations of their works would beef up the numbers, story after story after story by the King of Horror has been adapted – with varying degrees of success.
2. For every Shawshank Redemption (1994), there's a Maximum Overdrive (1986); for every Stand by Me, (1986) there's a Dark Tower (2017)
3. The past few years have seen King's screen credits soar once again, as the modern medium's thirst for content opens up untold hours of screen real estate.
4. Currently running TV series based on his works include Mr. Mercedes and Castle Rock, while upcoming It Chapter 2, Salem's Lot and The Long Walk will be joined by 2013's Doctor Sleep, yet another legacy sequel, this time to King's 1977 sophomore novel The Shining and/or Stanley Kubrick's flawless 1980 film adaptation.
5. Doctor Sleep reacquaints us with Danny Torrence, now an adult who looks just like Ewan McGregor. Torrence, still traumatised by the events at the Overlook Hotel, works at a hospice using his clairvoyant gifts to provide comfort to terminally ill patients. It's a peaceful life until he meets Abra (newcomer Kyliegh Curran), a teenager with the same gift being pursued by a ruthless group who want to use "the shine" in their quest for immortality.
6. I love the tone of this trailer. It puts its debt to Kubrick front and centre, mostly avoiding jump scares and any of that "red band" nonsense, instead concentrating on a sense of dread and anticipation.
7. Take the recreation of that shot of Jack Nicholson looking through the smashed door – one of the most recognisable images in all of cinema. Rather than a vain attempt to recreate the moment, it's done in a detached and dreamlike way, as though it's something Danny only half-remembers. It's light-years from Steven Spielberg's vandalism of the same film in Ready Player One.
8. Director Mike Flanagan has moderately good horror credentials. He was responsible for 2013's Oculus, and well-received Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House, among others.
9. Both of those were effective and well-made, if a little derivative, but to be fair to Flanagan it's practically impossible not to be derivative in the horror genre. He also directed the superb King adaptation Gerald's Game for Netflix.
10. I'm not familiar with the source material, but despite being overdue and unasked-for, this feels and looks like it might be one of the good ones. It seems that despite the appearances of going back to the well instead of coming up with something new, with Doctor Sleep, King expands and deepens The Shining rather than rehashing it. If this film can do the same thing, it could be a winner.
11. Shout-out to 2010, the criminally underrated 1984 sequel to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), which does that exact thing. Seek it out.
12. Finally, of the upcoming King stuff, I'm most looking forward to the TV adaptation of King's apocalyptic 1978 masterpiece, The Stand.
13. No cast or other details have been announced, but done right, the story of the end of the world and what comes next has the potential to be one of the greats, with a strong contemporary resonance in the Trump era through its malevolent villain Randall Flagg.

Broadsheet Trailer Park: Watchmen
Doug Whelan at 2:08 pm May 17, 2019
What you may need to know.
1. Game of Thrones is kind of the only game in town (for another week or two anyway), so this teaser for HBO's upcoming small-screen adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen got lost in the mix a little bit.
2. In case you're not familiar, the ground-breaking 1986 original depicts an alternate past and present where crime-fighting superheroes not only walk among us, but were directly involved in major turning points in US history, including Vietnam and the successful cover-up of Watergate. Decades after vigilantism was eventually outlawed, the Watchmen are called out of retirement to investigate the murder of one of their own.
3.It was previously adapted by Zack Snyder in 2009. His version was faithful to a fault, mimicking the source novel's glacially slow pace and sombre atmosphere. It was also a miracle of production design and overall ambition; Watchmen was one of those novels previously considered "unfilmable". It also boasts one of the most memorable opening sequences of any film you could name.
4. As you would expect, not a lot is known about HBO's new version. It's immediately clear that it's not completely faithful to the original, being set in a more modern era. According to executive producer Damon Lindelof (Lost, Star Trek), it is set "after" the story depicted in the original. One wonders in that case if it's a sequel to Snyder's film, which had a considerably different ending to the book.
5. Despite the modern aesthetic, it looks to remain faithful to the original in other ways. The blocking, colour schemes and camerawork are very reminiscent of artist Dave Gibbons' original frames.
6. The cast includes Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Louis Gosset Jr and Regina King, who recently won an Oscar for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk.
7. With Game of Thrones gone (for now), HBO is angling for its next global hit. WestWorld was a pretender to the throne but disappeared in a puff of its own self-importance, while smaller shows like The Deuce and Big Little Lies, while great, just don't have the longevity.
8. In my opinion, the real test of a series' potential in the current era is whether it is forward thinking enough to set up its own endgame right from the start. Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones got people addicted on day one by asking "how is this going to end?"
9. It's not the only way. Mad Men, The Sopranos and The Wire meandered through their seven seasons with multiple storylines and thematic explorations rather than one big buildup.
10. The crucial difference there was that they were much more grounded in reality and a depiction of (relatively) everyday life. The higher the concept, the higher the stakes need to be, so if Watchmen wants to find as wide an audience as possible, it's going to have to work extra hard to keep viewers interested.
11. After all, the original Watchmen was one big whodunnit, so the stage is set already. Let's see if I'm right.

Broadsheet Trailer Park: Joker
Doug Whelan at 4:19 pm April 3, 2019
1. Joaquin Phoenix looks simply astonishing in this grounded and gritty-looking "origin story" of the clown prince of crime and Batman's arch-nemesis.
2. Martin Scorsese was on board as producer early on, and despite departing the movie this time last year, his presence is still very apparent: Taxi Driver (1976) and The King of Comedy (1982) both are clearly major influences, underscored by the presence of Robert de Niro.
3. Yes, it's the prequel nobody asked for, but despite unfortunately being one of those "teasers" that in fact gives away the entire movie, Joker has suddenly shot up the list of 2019's most anticipated movies.
4. The question now is, will the Batman – due for yet another reboot after Ben Affleck's disastrous turn in the cape – make an appearance ahead of, well, The Batman (2021)?
Doug's verdict: No laughing matter.
Release date: October (US), TBC (Europe).

Broadsheet Trailer Park: The Dead Don't Die
What you may need to know
1. Jim Jarmusch, one of the most significant US indie directors of the past four decades, returns with undoubtedly his most audience-friendly film to date. That's not to say he hasn't been accessible in the past, but the wacky slapstick and record-scratch punchlines on show here are quite far removed from the austere drama in the likes of Dead Man (1995), Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) or The Only Lovers Left Alive (2010).
2. The Dead Don't Die is Jarmusch's second film with Adam Driver, following 2016's light-hearted drama Paterson. It's also his second film with Bill Murray after Broken Flowers (2005) and Tilda Swinton (The Only Lovers Left Alive), plus he has worked with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop on several occasions over the years, most notably in 2003's Coffee and Cigarettes – overtly referenced here by undead, coffee-craving Iggy Pop.
3. It's always pleasing to see Tom Waits on screen; he's doing a lot of acting at the moment with roles in Robert Redford's The Old Man and the Gun as well as The Ballad of Buster Scruggs last year; some new music would be even better but it's good to know he's out there either way.
4. With The Twilight Zone currently making its TV comeback, you can't help notice that opening voiceover aping Rod Sterling's ominous voiceovers from the original 60s TV series. Take it as another attempt to help audiences make sense of 2019.
5. "Ghouls" is why Adam Driver is one of the best in the business at the moment.
6. We've seen plenty of zombie comedies pave the way for this one, of course, most notably Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Zombieland (2009), but the sardonic, deadpan tone here is one that can only come from an indie type like Jarmusch, and will offer something new to the genre.
Doug's verdict: A horror movie with brains
Release: June TBC
Broadsheet Trailer Park: Deadwood: the Movie
Doug Whelan at 1:38 pm March 22, 2019
1. After years of false starts and broken promises, the long-hoped-for return of HBO's masterful western drama is really real.
2. Deadwood, set in the eponymous frontier town in the late 19th century South Dakota, initially ran for three seasons from 2004-2006. It didn't find much of an audience at the time but has since been consistently hailed as one of the all-time greats due to its realism, complex characterisation, production value and blending of actual events with fiction.
3. Ever since its rather undignified cancellation, creator David Milch and much of the cast kept a candle lit for its eventual return. That has taken more than a decade, but fans are currently punching the air in ecstasy.
4. A healthy portion of Deadwood's acclaim is for Ian McShane (top) in the role of saloon owner and local crime boss Al Swearengen, whose penchant for soliloquies and getting his hands dirty for what he believed to be the greater good gave him the air of a dusty Shakespearean king.
5. Beyond that, there are actually too many good things to say about Deadwood, other than there's plenty of time to catch up between now and the end of May.

Broadsheet Trailer Park: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
1. The 9th film from Quentin Tarantino, as he is fond of pointing out. He has said on occasion that he intends to retire from directing when he reaches ten.
2. The official blurb:
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood's golden age."
3. It is in no way a true story, but film is known to also be related to the infamous murder of Sharon Tate and four others at the hands of the Manson Family. Tate is played by Margot Robbie.
4. I don't know about anyone else but I really don't want to see those events dramatised, especially in Tarantino-land.
5. Also in the typically starry cast are Al Pacino, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, Scoot McNairy, the late Luke Perry and more.
6. All of the usual Tarantino tropes look to be present and correct, meaning Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will likely be review proof, sidestepping the quality scale and instead existing on a plane of how much of his self-indulgent tendencies you have the patience for.
Doug's verdict: As long as it's not three hours long, sold.

The trailer is here. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/L48jOwsUzn
— Game of Thrones (@GameOfThrones) March 5, 2019
1. There's just too much to get into at this stage. It's season 8, with a dizzying amount of loose ends, subplots and mysteries to be sorted out. At this stage you're either in or out.
2. The shortened season will consist of six episodes rather than the usual ten, with each hyped as a "mini-movie"
3. It has gotten its share of criticism over the years, due to excessive and often gratuitous violence and scenes of rape.
4. Some say Game of Thrones took a dip once the writers overook George R.R. Martin's source material, but there's no question it will go down as one of the all-time great TV series and pop-culture touchstones.
5. This is hardly goodbye. HBO has already confirmed it will go back to the well for a new "prequel" series, set in one of the multitude of historical eras outlined in the mythology.
6. Glorious fart acting from Lena Headey at 1.06.

Broadsheet Trailer Park: The Irishman
Doug Whelan at 4:13 pm February 25, 2019
1. After The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Roma (and others), another A-list director going straight to Netflix is further evidence of the vicious circle cinema is stuck in.
2. Studios just aren't willing to spend the kind of money these guys want, and can easily get from Netflix, with its deep pockets and near-zero interference.
3. The Irishman's production budget is $200m+ according to Wikipedia; no studio would pony up that kind of money for a septuagenarian crime drama, not in a million years.
4. What happens instead is those A-list dramas are going straight to the small screen (albeit with a limited US release) leaving audiences with the perception that multiplexes are filled only with superhero movies – which the studios ARE willing to splash out on because their serialised and homogenised nature draws audiences back again and again.
5. They are the only sure things, currently.

Broadsheet Trailer Park: The Twilight Zone
Doug Whelan at 11:33 am February 22, 2019
Witness the reimagining of the most iconic series of all time, hosted by Academy Award® winner @JordanPeele.#TheTwilightZone premieres April 1, only on @CBSAllAccess: https://t.co/2CmHhdwTm8 pic.twitter.com/LiQv0WP2nG
— The Twilight Zone (@TheTwilightZone) February 21, 2019
1. Over the past 20 years, the "golden age of TV" combined with the DVD revolution led to a shift in how series were written. We've gorged on long-term character development, microscopic attention to detail and ostensible "ten-hour movies".
2. More recently though, maybe due to shortening attention spans, streaming services or a simple push-back from writers who don't want to put out War & Peace every time they do something, anthology series are currently where it's at. Also, audiences at this point don't want to feel like they're making a six-year commitment every time something new comes along.
3. That has led to the rise of single-season stories like True Detective, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Fargo and so on. Then there are single-episode series like Black Mirror, Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, the upcoming Love Death + Robots, one called Room 104 and more.
4. The common theme for the latter group is they all tend to have a science fiction or supernatural angle. With that in mind it was probably a no-brainer for CBS to bring The Twilight Zone back to life. It first ran from 1959–64, then again 1985-1989, briefly in 2002, and now in 2019.
5. At the same time CBS were coming to this decision (it has been in development since 2012), Jordan Peele was over there reinventing himself from sketch comedy actor into Oscar-winning writer and director of Get Out (2017) which – as The Twilight Zone often did – blended horror and social commentary in a way that resonated with audiences in a very big way.
6. As well as executive producing, Peele will "host" the series as Rod Serling originally did, narrating the episodes and teeing up the stories.
7. Lots of familiar faces in there, including Tracy Jordan, John Cho, Kumail Nanjiani and also Adam Scott, who will play the lead in a remake of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, one of the original's best-known episodes and an early role for William Shatner.
8. The first look came in the form of a coveted "Superbowl trailer" a few weeks back, in which Peele pointedly asks "when truth is not even truth, what dimension are you in?" – surely a wry reference to the GUBU world in which we're already living.
9. Meanwhile, Jordan Peele's follow up to Get Out will arrive in cinemas next month. Us looks to have a similar theme to its predecessor, whereby an African-American family is hunted by their own murderous doppelgangers. Peele has said Us is more of a full-on horror movie; "spill-your-soda scary" as opposed to the "existentially terrifying". Get Out.
10. The Twilight Zone will run on CBS All Access in the states, so hopefully it will appear on Netflix in this part of the world before long.
Doug's verdict: Get in.

Ok, so in my game I am creating, I want to have Character Bios, as well as an Endings list that are both unlocked as you either click certain links or reach certain passages. I was trying to use the <<remember>> macro for Sugar Cube 2, but it's not working.
This turns the ???? to Dr. Richard Forth, and everything works great...until I restart the game. Then it defaults back to ????.
Now, when I remove the first <<set>> from the StoryInit, it shows up as the variable ($richard) in the Character Bios panel (ugly :P) but then when I hit the one passage with the <<remember>>, it remembers it forever.
Basically, I want to have a variable be one thing, then forever change into another (persist through playthroughs), once unlocked. Is this possible?
YES! This works wonderfully. Thank you!!
Not that there's anything wrong with the initial answer, of course.

Looking Ahead to Drupal 8: What to Expect
January 10, 2014 | Article | Technology
There is much to be excited about the 2014 release of Drupal 8. Upgrades included in this version of the open-source content management system will benefit just about everyone, including marketers, content creators, developers and ultimately website users.
This version, which will come more than three years after the release of Drupal 7, is a step forward in modernizing and maturing the software. Drupal 8 has more than 1,600 contributors - nearly double the number that contributed to the previous release. Drupal 8 includes roughly 200 new features that improve accessibility, the content authoring process, search engine optimization (SEO), and asset management. The new version will also bring Drupal up to current standards for delivering web content.
With so much change, I'm often asked: What is Drupal 8's killer feature? What will Drupal 8 do that we can't live without? The answer depends on how you use Drupal.
If you are a marketer
Drupal 8 will make it much easier to deliver content to various devices, either via a web browser or through other means, like a native app. This gives marketers more opportunities to integrate with third-party services and expand their reach.
Drupal 8 also makes great strides in introducing more semantic markup, including HTML5 support. This greatly improves what Drupal can do out of the box in terms of SEO. The HTML5 support helps users interact with your content from smart phones, tablets and desktops, and provides additional accessibility for users who may be browsing with assistive devices.
If you are a content creator
The administrative user interface in Drupal 8 has been streamlined and is much easier to navigate. There is finally a WYSIWYG editor included in the core application, and developers are introducing an in-place editor in this release as well. There are also improvements in asset management, particularly when it comes to images. The administrative interface will be responsive, so authors can manage content from mobile devices as well as their desktops. Drupal 8 also includes improvements in multilingual support over its predecessor.
If you are a developer
There are many great things happening for developers in Drupal 8, but here at RepEquity, we're most excited about configuration management. In previous versions of Drupal, it was difficult, nerve-wracking and time-consuming to migrate new features from a development site to a live one because it involved transferring information stored in the database. Drupal 8 saves much of its configuration in files on the web server, which means they can be placed under version control and moved more easily between environments. If something goes wrong, it is easier to roll back to a previous version of a file than it is to restore a database.
The code behind Drupal 8 is also much more object oriented, versatile and scalable, which should make it easier to attract and familiarize seasoned developers who are new to the software.
When can I upgrade?
There are three main issues holding up the official release: Performance issues, documentation to ease veteran Drupal developers into the radically updated APIs, and smoothing out the upgrade path for those wishing to move to the new version.
Currently, there is no date set for an official Drupal 8 release. In September, project lead Dries Buytaert told Drupalcon Prague 'it's ready when it's ready.' Drupal 8 is now in an alpha stage, and I don't expect a beta until early 2014.
In the meantime, tell us: What are you most looking forward to from Drupal 8?

Racecraft: Political Correctness & Free Marketplace of Ideas
Here is a passage that is absolutely brilliant. The authors cut to the heart of the issue like a surgeon with a scalpel.
Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
by Barbara J. Fields and Karen Fields
Sometimes the fog of racecraft rolls in at the last minute, as a derailing non sequitur to an otherwise logical argument. A few years ago, the New York Times reported that scientists who conducted an epidemiological study of asthma among schoolchildren in South Bronx produced damning evidence about environmental pollution caused by heavy truck traffic. Their study identified the particle emissions, cited the location of major highways, and, through resourceful data collection, drew conclusions about the children's exposure, in specific neighborhoods, at different hours of the day, to "very high fine particle concentrations on a fairly regular basis." The correlations emerged: "Symptoms, like wheezing, doubled on days when pollution from truck traffic was highest ." It would seem as clear as noonday that class inequality had imposed sickness on these American schoolchildren. Yet the article's summary tails off into confused pseudo-genetics. To a list of contributors to high asthma rates that includes heavy traffic, dense population, poorly maintained housing, and lack of access to medical care, the article adds "a large population of blacks and Hispanics, two groups with high rates of asthma." Racecraft has permitted the consequence under investigation to masquerade among the causes. Susceptibility to filthy air does not depend on the census category to which the asthma sufferer belongs. And even if that susceptibility is (to whatever degree) genetically determined, Dr. Venter's account of his own asthma stands as a reminder that "genetic" is not equivalent to "racial" or "ethnic."
Some of the oddest racecraft moments come when scientists yoke modern genetics to folk notions. In the controversy over Dr. James D. Watson's remarks in London, some of his defenders charged his critics with a "politically correct" retreat from science, insisting that good science requires a free marketplace of ideas . Researchers must be free, they implied, to salvage the old bio-racist ranking of superior and inferior races, regardless of the collapse as science of its core concept, race. But it is doubtful that those foes of political correctness would wish to rehabilitate that part of bio-racism that once identified inferior white races.
If they took their own position seriously, they would applaud the writings of such eminent American scientists of the late nineteenth century as Edward Drinker Cope and Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (dean of Harvard's Lawrence Scientific School during the 1890s) on the inequality of races, not simply their work on dinosaurs and the earth's history. Cope advocated both "the return of the African to Africa" and restrictions on immigration by "the half-civilized hordes of Europe." Shaler agreed, characterizing those hordes as inferior "by birthright ," "essentially in the same state as the Southern Negro," and distinct from "the Aryan variety of mankind." Popularizers hustled bio-racist "science" into public policy. Madison Grant, who advocated "Nordic" superiority in his 1916 best-seller, The Passing of the Great Race: The Racial Basis of European History, purported to map class inequality onto physical traits, such as height:
The Nordic race is everywhere distinguished by great stature. Almost the tallest stature in the world is found among the pure Nordic populations of the Scottish and English borders, while the native British of Pre-Nordic brunet blood are, for the most part, relatively short; and no one can question the race value of stature who observes on the streets of London the contrast between the Piccadilly gentleman of Nordic race and the cockney costermonger [street vendor] of the old Neolithic type.
In 1924, the lay and scientific streams of bio-racism converged in the Immigration Act of 1924 (which excluded European races deemed undesirable) and the Virginia Racial Integrity Act (which prohibited "miscegenation"). In the same year, Virginia adopted a law (upheld by the US Supreme Court three years later) providing for compulsory sterilization of persons held to be "defective and degenerate," a group that included "the shiftless, ignorant and worthless class of anti-social whites of the South." The Nazis followed these developments closely. When they decided to weed out the "unfit," they had American models of how to proceed, from administrative searching of family trees to sterilization. They became "the dark apotheosis of eugenics."
In 1946, Leslie C. Dunn, a distinguished geneticist and part of a group intent on severing genetics from eugenics, wrote that the field "had developed … out of the racial problems presented so vividly to the United States by the great immigration of the early part of the century." Consistent application of the "free marketplace of ideas" principle today would restore to bio-racism and eugenics the respectability they once enjoyed. Instead, "inferior white races " vanished from the lexicon of bio-racism, to rematerialize outside its purview as "ethnic" groups. The "shiftless, ignorant, and worthless" white people vanished altogether. No one attributes to political correctness the demise of bio-racism as applied to white persons. So, the free-marketplace-of-ideas apologia for Watson's bio-racism as applied to black persons turns out to be a familiar interloper, the practice of a double standard.
One of the present authors some years ago tested the limits of the free market in racist ideas. A crotchety yet likable right-wing colleague approached, looking disquieted and in need of moral support. He was "having trouble" with a certain black student in his bio-psychology class. What was wrong, he wondered, with saying that "black people may, or (mind you) may not, prove to be intellectually inferior to white people? In science, you frame a hypothesis, devise an experiment, find out." The student raised her hand and, when recognized, blasted him. "Do you know So-and -So (the student in question)?" asked the bio-psychologist. (The author did happen to know the student in question, an eighteen-year-old single mother of twins who was as bright as they come and not one to brook insult.) "Why can't she grasp that there's a scientific approach to things , blah , blah?" Finally, the author put a question. "If, as you say, there is no hypothesis that science excludes, why not try this assignment ? Let your students pick any white ethnic group and any stereotype commonly applied to it, greedy, mendacious, dumb, drunken, gangsterish, and so on, then formulate a hypothesis, design the experiment, find out." The colleague's face froze.

As a result of the research undertaken by the FFC on the use of mesh crop covers for controlling Tomato Potato Psyllid (TPP) on potatoes, mesh crop cover manufacturers are now looking to supply mesh in New Zealand. However, current supply is directed at commercial growers wanting to purchase tens of thousands of square meters (hectares) of mesh. The BHU and FFC are therefore providing small quantities / areas of mesh suitable for home gardeners and lifestylers, as a service to kick start mesh supply in NZ.


Its spring time and nothing says spring to me like vibrant, bright, fresh, and comforting food that is still BIG on nutritional value. This recipe is high in protein, gluten-free, filled with antioxidants and of course PLANT BASED!
Yes, you can use regular lemon. I just like Meyer Lemons, especially for baked goods, because its a cross between an orange and a lemon in flavor.

Documentary Spotlight: Never Surrender - A Galaxy Quest Documentary
The Sci-Fi Classic Finally Gets It's Due
by robotGEEK
I'm well aware that Galaxy Quest has gained an enormous cult following since it's initial release in 1999, though oddly enough, I wasn't one of those fans. While it did well enough, it wasn't the big hit the studios and filmmakers were expecting. But a funny thing happened. As the years went on, people began to discover just how great it actually is, and before long, it took on a life of it's own among the sci-fi community. A big part of the problem was that it was marketed as a comedy, when the reality is that while there are some funny moments, Galaxy Quest ultimately plays out like one of the best Star Trek films that isn't actually a Star Trek film.
What's interesting is that I can only recall maybe having seen it once. And I don't even remember much about it really, other than some basic stuff. But watching this doc I was struck by how much I had forgotten, and most importantly, who was actually in the film. I couldn't believe it! And while some were relative unknowns then, but have become household names today, it's the brilliant casting of the leads that surprises me. When you hear of the names the studio initially wanted to cast, you'll be floored because while brilliant, it just would have been a completely different film than the one we got. And Tim Allen for his part is the rock and glue that holds it all together so incredibly well. But it's shocking to discover that he wasn't even their first choice!
Never Surrender is a brilliant, funny, touching and poignant documentary that focuses on Galaxy Quest, it's inception, production, it's release and ultimately it's huge cult status that took years to acquire. Here we get to talk to literally everyone involved, from the actors, to the writer, director, producer, high profile fans, cosplayers and so much more. Never Surrender is a love letter to that classic film that not only answers any question you may have on it's production, but also why people seem to love it so much. It's an endearing hour and a half that will make you feel all kinds of feels and trust me, you'll want to revisit Galaxy Quest immediately afterwards.

NextMadFriars Q&A: Tom Cosgrove
MacKenzie Gore gets remarkable extension in his delivery. (Photo: Jerry Espinoza)
Chihuahuas off day
El Paso enjoyed their first day of the season. The club opens a series at Las Vegas Wednesday.
Sod Poodles 9, Springfield Cardinals 6
Key Stats: RHP Andres Muñoz IP, 2 K; RF Edward Olivares 2-4, 3 RBI, 2B; SS Owen Miller 2-6, R, RBI; 3B Hudson Potts 1-5, HR (2), 2 RBI; LF Jorge Oña 2-3, 2B, 2 R, 2 BB; 2B Chris Baker 2-3, 2 R, RBI, 2 BB
Prospect Watch: Amarillo came into their series with a sub-.200 team batting average on the road, but they are feasting on a Springfield staff that has allowed the most runs, hits and walks in the Texas League. Hudson Potts hit his second home run and made it through a game without striking out for just the third time on the year The highly-regarded prospect had struck out 14 times in his previous seven games. In 40 Double-A games between last year and this, he has struck out in 37 percent of his plate appearances while managing an IsoP below .080. … Jorge Oña continued his season-opening tear, reaching base four times to raise his OBP to .457. Oña has reworked his set-up at the plate this year, and it has shown up as he's hit the ball consistently harder. … RHP Andres Muñoz threw his first 1-2-3 inning in 2019, striking out two. Muñoz, who continues to hit triple digits, has struck out 15 in seven innings but has allowed as many baserunners.
Storm 3, Lancaster JetHawks 1 (10 innings)
Key Stats: LHP MacKenzie Gore 6 IP, 3 H, ER, BB, 9 K; SS Gabriel Arias 2-4, HR (2), 2 RBI; DH Luis Campusano 1-4, 2B, RBI
Prospect Watch: The Storm walked off the JetHawks, thanks to a blast by SS Gabriel Arias. The walk-off wasn't close to the biggest highlight of the game though as Padres #2 prospect MacKenzie Gore was on the mound. Gore struggled to locate his fastball in the first, and it took him 25 pitches (15 balls) to get through the inning, giving up one run. Then he found his feel and faced just one batter over the minimum while striking out eight across the next five innings. He threw only a handful of changeups (his third best pitch), and they were unhittable. In 22 High-A innings, Gore has allowed just 15 baserunners (0.68 WHIP) while striking out 27. Encouragingly, after needing 90 and 84 pitches to get through five innings in his first two starts, Gore has used 75 and 77 to throw six innings in his last two outings. Just as in his last outing when he faced off against veteran Rich Hill, as much as Gore impressed, he was outdueled. The Rockies' first-round pick last year, Ryan Rolison, allowed just two baserunners in six innings while striking out seven in his Cal League debut. Rolison was drafted out of high school by the Padres in 2016 but opted to go to Ole Miss. The Storm capitalized when he exited the game. DH Luis Campusano, who returned from a brief stay on the injured list for a contusion, hit a game-tying RBI double. The club will ease him back into catching after a concussion ended his season last year, but are glad to have him and his .422/.491/.622 line, back. The game remained scoreless until the 10th when Arias clubbed his walk-off homer. The slick-fielding shortstop could be a big league regular with even league-average offense, and he has been hitting this year. He didn't collect his second home run last year until July 27. … Taylor Kohlwey made his first ever start at first base for the Storm. Not 'first as a professional,' or 'first since high school.' First. The lefty from Wisconsin handled all six of his chances.
TinCaps 8, Bowling Green Hot Rods 7
Key Stats: LHP Ramon Perez 4IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 2 K, 2 BB, 2 HBP; RHP Henry Henry 3 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 2 K (W, 4-0); LF Grant Little 2-5, RBI; 2B Tucupita Marcano 1-5, 2B, 3 RBI; RF Agustin Ruiz 3-5, RBI; C Juan Fernandez 3-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB
Prospect Watch: The TinCaps have done a decent job getting on base this year, ranking in the middle of the 16-team league in on-base percentage, but came into the day 15th in slugging. They only got one extra-base hit Tuesday, but it was a big one as Tucupita Marcano collected a bases-clearing double. The 19-year-old infielder is off to a slow start in full-season ball, but he's still walking plenty and not striking out much. Marcano later lost a pop-up by top prospect Wander Franco in the sun, allowing the ball to land ten feet behind him for a double. That miscue cost Henry Henry, as three runs came around to score with two outs in the frame. The big righty still collected his MiLB leading fourth win. … C Juan Fernandez had an inauspicious start to the season, going hitless in his first five games (0-for-17) and had just three hits in his nine starts entering the day. He came through for three hits and drew a walk Tuesday, raising his OPS from .310 to .491.
Injury and Roster Updates
The Padres finally released word that Anderson Espinoza's long trek back to health took another unfortunate detour as the talented righty underwent his second Tommy John surgery Monday. While the organization was optimistic after we reported he left his third spring training start, the attempt to get him back on a mound was unsuccessful. At best, he'll be back in competitive action in late 2020, four seasons after he last appeared in a regular season game. While he'll still be only 22 years old, there's little precedent for a player returning after such an extended layoff. … Pedro Avila, who hit Amarillo's disabled list Monday morning, was in San Diego to get forearm soreness examined by the big league club's medical staff. Adrian Morejon, who left Monday night's start after just one batter, was added to the DL with vague shoulder and back soreness Tuesday morning. The talented lefty had his spot in the Lake Elsinore rotation skipped once last May when he felt tightness in his neck warming up, but returned quickly from that issue. A series of minor injuries have sidelined him for stretches in each of the last two seasons. … In Peoria, Osvaldo Hernandez is getting stretched out in preparation to join the Lake Elsinore Storm rotation. He likely has three or four more starts in extended before he'd be ready to head out, which would put him on track for mid-May. … Michel Baez has made two one-inning appearances in the desert as he makes up for lost time after a back injury sidelined him in spring training. The big righty would head out to Amarillo about two weeks behind Hernandez's departure if all stays on track. … Javy Guerra could be on schedule to leave the complex before either of them. Once seen as the club's future at shortstop, he agreed to move to the mound this spring. He should make his first appearance in a game Thursday after success in a series of live batting practice sessions.

home controller
public function index()
{
    $posts = post::where([['status',1], ['post_locations','TopBox-GR']])->get();
    return view('user.blog',compact('posts'));
}

and view:

            @foreach ($posts as $post)
                slug) }}">

                    url($post->image)}}" />

{{$post->title}}

                        {{$post->subtitle}}

            @endforeach

post.controller:
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    $this->validate($request,[
        'title'=>'required',
        'subtitle'=>'required',
        'slug'=>'required',
        'body'=>'required',
        'image'=>'required',
        'post_locations'=>'required',
    ]);

    if($request->hasFile('image'))
    {
        $imageName = $request->image->store('public');
    }

    $post = post::find($id);
    $post->image = $imageName;
    $post->title = $request->title;
    $post->subtitle = $request->subtitle;
    $post->slug = $request->slug;
    $post->post_locations = $request->post_locations;
    $post->body = $request->body;
    $post->status = $request->status;
    $post->tags()->sync($request->tags);
    $post->categories()->sync($request->categories);

    $post->save();

    return redirect(route('post.index'));
}

A: Firstly you should get selected locations in $selectLocations variable and all locations in $allLocations variable for edit.blade.php
In edit.blade.php, you can display like this:-
@foreach($selectLocations as $value)
<select class="form-control" name="post_locations[]" multiple=''>
    <option value="">Select Location</option>
    @foreach($allLocations as $val)
        <option @if($value['id'] == $val->id) {{ 'selected' }} @endif value="{{ $val->id }}">{{ $val->name}}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>
@endforeach

Dynamic Purchasing System: Framework of Activity Providers and Coaches. Tender Ref: T20057
The Growth Company would like to procure a large number of providers to assist in the delivery of EnterprisingYou.
Greater Manchester has been chosen to run this programme as a pilot, which could later be rolled out throughout the UK. It was commissioned by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) with funding from the Department for Education (DfE).
EnterprisingYou is designed to support Greater Manchester residents aged 18 years or older who are self-employed, running their own business or working in the gig economy; this includes people who receive work from a company or an agency but are registered as self-employed and responsible to pay their own taxes. The programme is focussed on supporting clients whose income is low or unstable, with a total annual personal income less than £27,000 gross.
The programme offers clients 26 weeks of fully funded support, tailored to their needs and includes access to a Business Coach as well as the potential to include personal finance support, health and wellbeing support, careers information, advice and guidance, access to co working space, mentoring as well as training and personal development activities.
This procurement is to identify a broad range of providers who can deliver the training and personal development element of the programme. Activity within this element can deliver vocational skills, skills to support the running of the business or develop personal effectiveness, health or wellbeing. Delivery can be consultative, group or digital and be bespoke to EnterprisingYou or available to wider markets. All activities must demonstrate how they will help the client make their businesses more efficient, sustainable and profitable, boost skills, increase income or help casual workers find alternative routes and roles which offer greater stability.
In current circumstances we are particularly keen to source activities that can be delivered remotely.
Activity must not be 'licence to practice' and must not be available to the client group through other sources of government funding.
Duration and Budget
The contract period will be from the 12th February 2020 until the 30th June 2022.
The total spend under this framework is anticipated to be £3,200,000 excluding VAT. Bidders should note that spend with individual organisations will be dependent on allocation of work and no guarantee of a minimum value is given.
Receipt of Tender The DPS will be open for the life of the contract and bidders can apply to join the Framework at any time during this period. In order to ensure that we manage the Framework efficiently, we have identified dates when we will begin a round of evaluation of the latest bids and these are:
