T-Mobile has been the one to disrupt the mobile industry in the US these past few years. The prepaid market space in the US, while still a great value, T-Mobile strives to provide an even greater value with its newest data hikes.
T-Mobile is raising its data allotments for $40, $50, and $60 prepaid plans from 1GB, 3GB and 5GB to 3GB, 5GB and 10GB respectively.
These plans also include T-Mobile's Music freedom and its new video optimizer which lowers video content's resolution to 480p in order to save data and watch up to 3 times more video with the same amount of data.
If you stream a lot of music, you'll want to look into getting a prepaid plan from T-Mobile. Raising data without raising prices is another reason T-Mobile wants to give more to its customers and wants customers to love their carrier. Keep it up T-Mobile!

Q: Multiple $match values in Mongoose Aggregate I have a working Mongoose aggregation query which contains:
{ "$match": { "sumGroup": { "$in": group }, "sumId":5}},
however I need "sumId":5 to be dynamic.  I can get the value I want to use from req.params.timesTableid but I can't successfully use this in the query.
I have tried:
{ "$match": { "sumGroup": { "$in": group }, "sumId":"$$req.params.timesTableid"}},
and
{ "$match": { "sumGroup": { "$in": group }, "$expr": { "$eq": [ "$sumId", "$$req.params.timesTableid" ] } } },
but both of these come back with an empty results set.  Does anyone know how I can make this query dynamic?

A: OK, this is rather embarrassing.  The value of req.params.timesTableid is a string and of course my query needs a number.  parseInt(req.params.timesTableid) does the job.  Hope this answer saves someone else an hour or so of their life!

Download "100/110 Hurdle Training. Wendy Truvillion"
2 Introduction Hurdling is sprinting with rhythm! Hurdling deviates as least as possible from normal sprinting. The abilities needed in hurdling are very similar to those needed in the sprint events, and should be developed the same way. Our focus, first, last, and always must be establishing and maintaining SPEED between and over the hurdles!
3 Specifics to the 100/110 hurdles 8 steps to the 1 st hurdle (developmental hurdlers may need to take 9 steps until they become stronger and faster) 3 steps between each hurdle 5-6 steps off of the 10 th hurdle to the finish line Flexibility and mobility are vital to the event, and the athletes success. Modify sprint mechanics to negotiate the barrier.
5 Technical Demands in the Start Advanced hurdlers need to modify the sprint acceleration process (out of the blocks) in order to better negotiate the hurdle. Stride length is sacrificed in order to fit eight steps into the acceleration to the 1 st hurdle. Range of motion at the hips is decreased. Stride frequency is higher in the approach to the 1 st hurdle. Low heel recovery in drive phase. The progression of the body angles must occur quickly to better prepare for the 1 st hurdle in 8 steps. Hips are tall by stride 6 in order to prepare for attack of 1 st hurdle.
6 Mechanical Demands Increasing stride frequency and developing faster rhythms are important goals. The drive phase should extend until the 3 rd hurdle. The run between the hurdles is a modification of the maximal velocity mechanics (shuffle). Stride length is decreased between the hurdles in order to fit the needed three steps. Novice and developmental hurdlers may take more than three steps between the hurdles. If 4 or 5 steps are needed (for beginners) allow it, but train with the hurdles discounted in order to develop the 3 step rhythm. Also, practice using alternate legs. Heel recovery is lower than in normal sprinting, due to the decrease in range of movement.
7 Mechanical Demands Push off angles at touchdown are primarily vertical, as in maximal velocity. Range of motion in the hips between the hurdles is usually decreased, due to the shuffle steps.
8 Hurdling Techiques Block Start: Lead leg in the back block (quick side) Trail leg in the front block (power side) Normal sprint start: aggressive, powerful, quick arms, quick legs, focus. At set focus on pressure back into the pedals. Start to the 1 st hurdle: Hips tall after 6 th stride Arrive at hurdle in a position ready to negotiate the barrier Consistent stride pattern (frequency) Race to the take-off mark ( m). At cut step focus on pushing the hips through the hurdle. Lead with the knee, not the foot.
9 Hurdling Techniques Take Off: Hurdling begins from the drive phase of the lead leg (step 7). Concentrate on driving hips over the hurdle rail Project C of M up over the hurdle with hips tall and forward. Take-off is about m away from hurdle. Cut step (w/trail-leg): Trail leg initiates the takeoff into the hurdle cut step is a shortened stride which enables the raising of the hips in preparation for hurdle clearance. Ankle passes below the knee Thigh blocks short of parallel, hips are tall (not squatty or mushy). Contact is active and almost under C of M, and toe is up.
13 Arm Actions Lead-leg Arm (right): Forearm flexes and extends forward Rotate arm internally Elbow angle same as leadleg, knee angle (30 45 degrees) Arm stops at shoulder level. As C of M passes over the hurdle rail, drive lead arm back and down. Trail-leg Arm (left): Little deviation from sprinting form. With bent elbow, trail arm opens out to the side (elbow up) to allow trail-leg to pass underneath. As trail-leg passes, arm drives outward and backward to balance lowerlimbs A trail-leg touchdown, arm is thrust forward to continue sprint form.
15 Run-in from the last hurdle Most neglected part of the race. Should be practiced during training sessions Know the number of strides to the finish off the last hurdle. Practice accelerating and driving off the last hurdle. Focus on proper body position coming off the last hurdle to ensure an active and optimal run-in.
17 Off balance coming off the hurdle Fault Lead leg and opposite are driven inward and hot in the direction of travel Trail leg opening too soon Athlete may be too close to the hurdle Correction Work on synchronizing lead leg mechanics; use sprint arm action, not across the body Work on synchronizing trail leg mechanics and keeping the leg folded until knee is pointing in the direction of travel.
19 Hitting hurdles late in the race Fault Loss of rhythm Too close to hurdles Loss of concentration Fail to maintain hips tall position causing athlete to sit and not maintain good sprint mechanics Correction Trail leg opening too soon, thus causing getaway stride to be too long resulting in power foot being too close to the next hurdle Maintain tall hip position and good sprint mechanics Keep trail leg tight and shorten getaway stride Learn to control attention to what s happening in your lane Concentrate on your own rhythm.

Q: What are the ways of centering the math formula I am beginner at latex, and I am wondering how should I make the math formula centered. What I want is as shown on the picture. Also what is the best way of making spaces when writing math code? I am reffering to the spaces between min and f(x). Thanks in advance
My code looks like this, but there are a few problems
1) P should be in the middle of these lines and on the left of both.
2) spaces between min s.t, are there any other ways than writing a lot of \:
\begin{align}
(P)\:\: minf(x)\\
s.t\:\:g(x,s)\leq 0\:\:\forall s\in\Omega
\end{align}

A: it may help you:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{lipsum} % for dummy text

\begin{document}
\lipsum[11]
\begin{gather*}

Celebrated Writer Zora Neale Hurston Was Born Today In 1891
The beloved author would have turned 130 this year.

UPDATED: 10:15 a.m. ET, Jan. 7, 2021 —
Writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, one of the most outstanding authors that emerged from the Harlem Renaissance, would have celebrated her 130th birthday today if she were still alive.
Over the course of four novels, an autobiography and dozens of published writings, Hurston has been an inspiration for distinguished writers, such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ralph Ellison and countless others.

Hurston was the fifth of eight children born to her parents, John and Lucy Ann, in the small town of Notasulga in Alabama. The family uprooted when she was just a toddler, making their new home in Eatonville, Florida. Her father, a preacher, would become mayor of the town, which was one of the first all-Black incorporated cities in the United States. After the death of her school teacher mother in 1904, her father remarried and she was sent to boarding school in nearby Jacksonville. Hurston was later expelled after her father stopped paying the tuition.

Hurston worked as a maid for a short while before attending classes at Morgan Academy, the high school division of Morgan State University (then Morgan College) in 1917. Although she was 26 years old at the time, she put her birth year as 1901. She graduated from the academy in 1918, heading to Howard University shortly after. Along with joining the Zeta Phi Beta society, she also helped create the school's newspaper, The Hilltop.
After obtaining her Associate's degree in 1920, she would pen her first short story, "John Redding Goes To Sea," in 1921. The story gained her entry in to the first African-American Rhodes Scholar Alain Locke's exclusive literary club. Once Hurston left Howard in 1924, the following year she was offered a scholarship to New York's Barnard College as its sole Black student. She would graduate with a Bachelor's degree in anthropology in 1928 and studied under Franz Boas, considered a leading pioneer in modern anthropology.
Hurston would find growing literary fame in the late '30s and '40s, after a pair of failed marriages. Her most-notable novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," was released in 1937. Based on her anthropological studies in the Caribbean, she released the book "Tell My Horse," which focused on the voodoo practices of the islands, afterward.
The year 1939 would see the release of another popular novel, "Moses, Man Of The Mountain," but it wasn't until her 1942 autobiography, "Dust Tracks On A Road," that she finally became a household name.
Although she had plenty of famous friends, Hurston did not reap the financial benefits of her own fame. She reportedly reached out to W.E.B. Du Bois, suggesting that a 100-acre plot of land serve as a cemetery for Black celebrities. Du Bois shunned the idea.

With little money and living at the St. Lucie County Welfare Home, Hurston suffered a stroke and later died of heart disease on January 28th. She was buried in an unmarked grave in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Compelled to honor a writer that inspired her own work, Alice Walker would venture to the gravesite to give Hurston a proper headstone in 1973.
Hurston's legacy lives on via her written work, including two compiled collections of her research writings and essays. In the town of Eatonville, there is an annual arts festival held in the writer's honor, and in 2004, the Zora Neale Hurston library was opened.
Zora Neale Hurston's contributions in both the realms of writing and research of African culture should not go uncounted.
As she wrote to fellow Renaissance writer Countee Cullen in a letter, "I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."
Happy Birthday and a restful peace to Zora Neale Hurston.

SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE World Premiere This Friday At WonderCon
by SCIFI.radio | Mar 14, 2012 | Comics, Movies / Video / Theater | 0 comments
Heads up, everybody – it's already time for another premiere! Warner Home Video just sent us the inside scoop on Superman vs. The Elite!
Superman vs. The Elite, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC Universe animated original movies, will receive its world premiere as WonderCon's featured evening event for Friday, March 16 in Anaheim.
Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video, the all-new, PG-13 rated film will screen at 6:30 p.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center Ballroom. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion amongst filmmakers and voice cast members. Award-winning comics writer Joe Kelly and versatile voice actor Robin Atkin Downes (Justice League: Doom) are among the confirmed panelists for Friday. Additional panelists will be announced as they are confirmed.
Kelly has adapted the story from his original 2001 DC Comics release, "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" into the taut, thrilling screenplay for Superman vs. The Elite. The single-issue comic, Action Comics #775, was lauded by Wizard Magazine as the "Greatest Superman Story of All Time," and ranked the epic tale at No. 21 on its list of the "Top 100 Comics of the last 30 years."
In Superman vs. The Elite, Superman's effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as "The Elite," appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy — putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel.
George Newbern (Father of the Bride) reprises his Justice League animated television role as Superman, and primetime television star Pauley Perrette (NCIS) provides the voice of Lois Lane. Downes steps in as Manchester Black, leader of The Elite. David Kaufman (Justice League: Doom) also reprises his Justice League TV series role as Jimmy Olsen.
The film is directed by Michael Chang (Batman: Brave and the Bold). Bruce Timm (Batman: Year One) is executive producer, and Alan Burnett (Green Lantern: Emerald Knights) is producer.
In addition to the screening and panel, Warner Home Video and DC Entertainment will co-present an autograph signing session with Superman vs. The Elite panelists on Saturday, March 17 from 11:00am-Noon in the DC Booth at WonderCon.

The night before THATCamp, I told Michelle that I didn't think anyone would come to our panel. Too many people had told me stories of conferences where panels about race and/or ethnicity only attracted people of color. We joked that we might be the only two people in the room.
I got there a few minutes early so I could get my head in a space to have a "productive conversation" about the kinds of "strategies" we (the few I thought would be in attendance) might have around the silences that seem to dominate the conversation about racism and feminism.
Michelle, who has more experience with public conversations about race than I do, said to me "this is too big" and suggested that we split the group of about 45 women (2/3 of the conference) into smaller groups. It seemed like a good idea, but I thought we could start big and then turn to smaller groups.
I had other ideas about how this could unfold. Michelle did too.
They seem less important this morning than what happens now that we've started this conversation, in this particular space.
After the conference, Kim Hall, Michelle, and I met over drinks to discuss, among other things, what could happen next with all of the ideas, energies, frustrations, and hopes that were in that room. I wish I had facilitated the discussion differently (asked a more focused question, started where I ended, invited other participants to begin by sharing their experiences), but I think the Session Notes offer a terrific opportunity to continue the conversation.
I think they provide a fairly accurate account of how things unfolded (it's great to see other conference attendees still filling in the gaps), and this post is an invitation to folks to read them and share their thoughts and reactions.
In the spirit of that invitation I'll share that one thing I've been thinking about since the panel was that I talked about wanting "strategies" without clarifying who I had in mind. It really depends on your subject position though, doesn't it? If, for example, you're a woman of color navigating this terrain, it might be useful to know about Jay Smooth's very popular video about how to call out racist behavior (if you're a white person who struggles with hearing that something you've said or done is problematic, this could be useful for you too). It's a good place to start. What I was hoping for was a similar resource that can be a good place to start for white feminists, something that goes beyond "Unpacking the Knapsack," that speaks specifically to feminism and racism. I know a few attendees had ideas, so I hope they share them.
Many, many thanks to everyone who attended. I know it wasn't an easy conversation, but I am encouraged by the number of people interested enough in this persistent (pernicious) issue to attend the panel and thankful to all whose shared their ideas, stories, and questions.

'One day his confidence levels will be back to normal': Jose Mourinho backs misfiring Romelu Lukaku ahead of facing former club Everton... and rules out Manchester United return for Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Manchester United face Everton at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday
Romelu Lukaku will face his former club but is currently out of form for United
Jose Mourinho has backed the Belgian striker ahead of the crucial clash
He subsequently ruled out a return to Manchester for Zlatan Ibrahimovic
By Ian Herbert For The Daily Mail
Jose Mourinho has admitted he is waiting every week for Romelu Lukaku to deliver as he spoke about Manchester United's ailing strike force.
Mourinho categorically dismissed any notion of bringing back 37-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the club on Friday as he revealed a crisis of confidence for Lukaku and his concerns about the condition of Alexis Sanchez.
The notion of Ibrahimovic being suggested as a remedy is a sobering one for a manager who has signed 11 players for United at a cost of £360million and a net outlay of £285m yet whose side sit 10th in the Premier League ahead of Everton's arrival on Sunday.

The Belgian striker laboured again in midweek during the defeat by Juventus at Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho wants Manchester United to plunder the vaults... Jose Mourinho fears Manchester United could lose David de... Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford help out Manchester United at... Manchester United mutiny: Stars snub sponsorship commitments...
Lukaku is a metaphor for Mourinho's struggle to extract from players what other clubs have managed.
Everton's all-time top goalscorer in the Premier League with 68 goals has not scored for United since mid-September.
'I always feel that every game [that he will come good],' Mourinho said of the Belgian.
'One day he will score and one day his confidence levels will be back to normal, which clearly they are not there. But I always feel that.'
In backing Lukaku, Mourinho ruled out a return for LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Mourinho said there were no alternatives for the central attacking berth against Juventus
There was a grim look on the manager's face as he said this amid another unremittingly gloomy discussion.
The bulletin included news that Sanchez — another shadow of his former self — would not play due to injury, believed to be a groin strain.
Mourinho proceeded to criticise the Chilean FA for Sanchez's return to the side with an injury after the international break and also expressed displeasure with Portugal, Belgium and Scotland, whom he suggested had failed to inform United of injuries to Sanchez, Diego Dalot, Marouane Fellaini and Scott McTominay.
Mourinho will not be able to call on Alexis Sanchez due to a problem with his adductor muscle
'Some of the national teams were very professional with us and sent the players back and we could start the process early,' he said.
'But some of them wouldn't and they kept the players and we didn't even know the dimension and nature of injuries.
'So when the players arrived two days before Chelsea, we have no idea what is going on.'
Sanchez was another whose collapse in form Mourinho ascribed to problems beyond his control.
'He's struggling because he's injured. He came into the Chelsea match to try to help the team but his physical condition was not good and then he had to stop. He is the kind of player that needs to be really, really sharp.'
Mourinho defended Sanchez's slow start to life at United, saying he needs to be 'really sharp'

During an international career that spanned nearly six decades, Kurt Masur (1927–2015) made his mark not only as a distinguished orchestra conductor, but also as a political activist.
Masur, who was at the helm of the famed New York Philharmonic from 1991 to 2002, died on December 19 from complications of Parkinson's disease.
Born in what would become a communist-controlled East Germany, Masur rose to international prominence as the music director of Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra.
In 1989, Leipzig was a hotbed of anti-communist demonstrations; as tensions rose, confrontations between tens of thousands of protestors and security forces reached a boiling point. Amid the chaos, Masur's call for a calm resolution of the conflict was blasted on loudspeakers throughout the city. As he later recalled, his intervention was a lifesaver of sorts. Without it, he noted, "blood would have flowed."
The following year, as the Berlin Wall crumbled and Germany was reunited, Masur directed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the official celebration.
Soon after the reunification, he accepted the conductorship of the New York Philharmonic, transforming it from a fractured and unruly ensemble to a disciplined, concordant, and reinvigorated world-class orchestra. As the Wall Street Journal noted in Masur's obituary, "he reseated the strings, switching the cellos with the violas, and created a warmer, more relaxed sound."
In paying tribute to Masur's accomplishments during his tenure with the Philharmonic—during which he led over 900 performances—its Music Director Alan Gilbert praised the conductor's "commitment and devotion."
"What we remember most vividly is Masur's profound belief in music as an expression of humanism," he said.
And the Philharmonic's President Matthew Vanbesien noted that Masur had "left a legacy that lives on today"—just like Handel's "Messiah," the performance of which the orchestra dedicated to the late conductor's memory on the day he died.

Airbnb expands into monthly rentals and adds a sweet promotion for users

Today, the much talked about San Francisco startup Airbnb announced that it's expanding into monthly rentals, meaning you can now sublet your apartment and find long-term, temporary rentals on the trendy alternative to Couchsurfing. Since its launch in 2008, there have been nearly 2 million nights booked in over 18,000 cities world-wide on its website. Even with this summer's heartbreaking news that a girl's apartment was vandalized after renting it out on Airbnb, the service is going strong, relying on its forgiving and open minded clientele to see the brand through.
To show its love, Airbnb is offering a pretty sweet promotion: $200 off every month for Sublets between 28 days and 6 months. My mind is already spinning with long-term travel plans. The current Airbnb offerings and its new Sublets section look nothing short of amazing.
According to Airbnb, guests have already booked over 3,000 monthly rentals, for as long as 10 months, and as high as $46,000 per reservation. So, by extending the functionality of the platform it will be able to better support the activity, draw increased awareness and expand its revenue streams. Listings will display the total monthly price directly in search results and Airbnb will accept monthly payments via credit card or PayPal.
"This is the next step in the evolution of Airbnb. By expanding our marketplace to better facilitate longer stays, we're opening up new possibilities for the use of the marketplace by our community," said Brian Chesky, Co-Founder and CEO. "What began with renting out air mattresses on the floor of my apartment has evolved over time to include any type of unique accommodation imaginable, now available by the night or month."
Airbnb aims to redefine the multi-billion dollar sublet market by making it easier than ever to list and book properties by the month. One question does pop into mind: Considering sublets in much of New York City are disallowed by landlords and it's a grey area in city law, how will Airbnb be seen in the eyes of legislators?
It's likely that Airbnb will pass by unharmed. When the NYC bill to make subletting illegal was first passed, Brian Chesky responded: "This legislation is being painted as slumlords who convert apartments to illegal hotels. But as far as I can tell, this will affect thousands of families, young professionals and elderly people."
In the end, Airbnb managed to survive unscathed and so did the likes of other vacation rental services like VRBO, Homeaway and Craigslist, the dominant players in the space, who've been doing this for years. Like Chesky said, the real target of the bill was: slumlords who convert apartments to illegal hotels.
There are currently over 6,000 sublets available in New York City. But a word to the wise for NYC subletters looking to make a buck on Airbnb: The real issue here will be when people choose to sublet their apartment for more than it is worth, which will have NYC landlords up in arms.

After Las Vegas shooting let's rise above…
After Las Vegas shooting let's rise above polarized politics and talk

By The Editorial Board | opinion@scng.com |
In the wake of the devastating Las Vegas shooting which claimed nearly 60 lives and wounded more than 500 people, Americans should stop and consider the world in which we live today, where violence and acrimony seem ever more prevalent and intense.
This mass shooting, the largest in our nation's history, is a galvanizing moment that should transcend our polarized politics to provoke a deep, critical and thoughtful discourse on what ails our great nation.
The bizarre and horrific details of the massacre rightly inspire immediate revulsion at the destructive power more and more of us live in terror of facing at random. They also lead us to question more broadly how to achieve true security in a disillusioned technological age, when enemies at home and abroad know all too well how to hit us in the easiest, most damaging way.
The biggest horror is the hardest to answer. Throughout history we have been shown how hard it is to prevent the dedicated from achieving the bloodshed they seek. Reasonable laws that keep weapons of mass murder out of public hands have a powerful track record of sustained, but not uninterrupted, success. The U.S. has successfully imposed stringent restrictions, for instance, on fully-automatic weapons, driving the number of crimes involving such firearms to impressive lows. But technology is making it easier to fabricate illegal guns or to modify guns for short-term use as tools of mass murder.
Another difficulty involves the great variance in gun culture across the country, not only a function of competing ideals and habits but of the practicalities of space and population density. As the Supreme Court acknowledged in the Heller decision, the right to bear arms does not mean that gun laws must be the same in a major metro area as they are in the countryside. But the mobility and dedication of today's killers — whether or not they are associated with or inspired by terrorist organizations — makes a mockery of the common-sense assumptions about public order that have historically shaped the laws of a free society.
Of course, perhaps the biggest impediment to reasonable progress is the entrenched political polarization that plagues us today.
Under pressure to fight every battle and exploit any advantage, activists for and against bearing arms are too quick to set aside pragmatism to score symbolic ideological victories.
While amassing private collections of firearms may be consistent with the spirit and the letter of the Second Amendment, it is hard to accept that anyone has a protected right to appear in the time and place of their choosing bearing more than 10 rifles.
At the same time, it is important to recognize that human nature and today's technology will occasionally frustrate even the most stringent of laws.
Gun rights are protected by the Second Amendment, but there are no rights to own weapons of mass destruction.
There has to be a middle ground upon which we can all agree in the interest of ensuring the safety of our society.

Big Hero 6 Movie Review
In the futuristic city San Fransokyo, a young genius named Hiro Hamada is inspired to join his older brother Tadashi as a student a prestigious robotics department, run by famed professor Robert Callaghan. Hiro is inspired, in part, by his brother's invention – an inflatable, personalized health-care robot named Baymax. However, an explosion in the university takes the life of Hiro's brother, leaving Hiro depressed and disinterested in technology. An interaction with Tadashi's robot compels Hiro to resume his training, and also reminds him that Tadashi is still with him, in his memory (a similar theme of remembering those you've lost is present in another recent release, The Book of Life). Through his work, Hiro makes friends with Tadashi's former colleagues – and with Baymax; together, they work to uncover the mysterious cause of the explosion that claimed Tadashi's life.
The Adoption Connection
Hiro is familiar with loss in his family. Both of parents died before the movie, and he and Tadashi are being raised by Aunt Cass, the single sister of one of their parents who lives above her coffee shop. When Tadashi dies, Aunt Cass is the only family that Hiro has, until he eventually finds a connection with Tadashi through Baymax's programming.
The short film before Big Hero 6, "Feast" is a truly funny piece on love, centered on food, from a dog's point of view. The theater I was in laughed, in unison, several times at this one.
Aunt Cass is very loving. Even when she is frustrated at Tadashi and Hiro—they had gotten arrested – she still affirms that she loves them.
Tadashi is a committed big brother. He guides Hiro into making good decisions, and also affirms that, even if Hiro makes bad decisions, he won't leave him alone.
Hiro recovers from a very hard loss in a very realistic way. After Tadashi's death, Hiro exhibits understandable and realistic depression, and finally recovers through the love of family and friends, memories of his brother, and his own efforts. He can provide a model of recovery from loss. At one point, Hiro even faces the loss of his brother in order to explain it – sensitively and sadly, but honestly – to Baymax. Hiro tells Baymax that Tadashi is gone. Baymax asks when he will return. Hiro replies, "He's dead, Baymax." Baymax comments that Tadashi was healthy and should have lived a long time. Hiro answers, "People say he's not really gone as long as we remember him, but it still hurts." It's a very honest and direct discussion of death, loss, and sadness. Baymax calls several of Hiro's friends in an effort to help Hiro find happiness.
Because he reflects Tadashi's personality, Baymax is selfless and heroic. This inspires Hiro to be a forgiving person.
A theme that shows up in lots of movies is – how do you respond to loss? Hiro is tempted towards revenge, but ultimately is persuaded away. Meanwhile, another character pursues revenge and suffers because of it.
Baymax is willing to sacrifice himself to save a stranger's life, and for a while it seems as though Hiro has lost even him. I wondered if that scene might be empowering – here, Hiro had the choice of whether to experience the loss, and he willingly chose loss in order to save someone.
** SPOILER ALERT ** Thankfully, at the end, this loss is reversed.
Professor Callaghan's revelation as a villain is unforeseen; he had seemed like a potential mentor/father figure at one point.
The explosion that kills Tadashi is loud, bright, and unexpected. It could be hard for young kids who have come to love him or identify with him as a caring older male relative.
There is a scene with more chaos and destruction than you'd expect. Callaghan tries to destroy an industrial complex by sucking it into a portal. This leads to the film's climactic battle. It's a good sequence, though it might scare some young children.
Big Hero 6 is a fun, action-oriented film that will appeal to a wide audience, from kids to adults. Although the losses experienced by Hiro might painfully remind some viewers of losses they've experienced (through foster or adoption), Hiro's processing of his losses are realistic and healthy. Big Hero 6 gets the Adoption at the Movies recommendation for kids ages 7 and up, with the suggestion that parents watch and process the film with their kids.
Questions for Discussion
How did Hiro feel when Tadashi died? How did he act?
When do you think he started feeling better? What helped the most?
Is it possible to still be sad about a loss, and also to be feeling better, at the same time?
If your friends were superheroes, what would their superhero names be?
Have you ever wanted revenge on someone? How did it turn out? How did you feel at the end?

Just wanted to say I could not agree with your comments anymore. It's amazing how well an animated film depicted all of this. And what's more it was an absolutely fantastic movie to boot!

"Big Hero 6″ is the perfect babysitter for your kids. But, animation should offer something to the adults as well. Let's find more original stories and even get experimental, folks. "Big Hero 6″ is nothing we haven't seen before.

WATCH ABOVE: For decades Myanmar was governed by a brutal military dictatorship. In 2011 that changed. Thousands of political prisoners were released and strict censorship laws relaxed. Today marks the first elections in the country since then. Melanie de Klerk spoke to some former political prisoners still fighting for democracy.
YANGON, Myanmar — There's no glitz, no glamour and no pretense about the small recording studio in the heart of Yangon. In fact, the studio and its environs are so unassuming, with no signs proclaiming its existence, that you might just miss its entrance.
But behind the unmarked doors is where one of Myanmar's most recognized artists is recording his new album.
With long dreadlocked hair, denim jacket emblazoned with a peace sign and white socks adorned with marijuana leaves, you might be forgiven for mistaking Burmese reggae artist Poe Kwar for a Bob Marley impersonator.
A former Myanmar national soccer player, Poe Kwar is a force unto himself who may have drawn his inspiration from Marley but has made the reggae sound all his own.
His lyrics are about the mix of war and politics that have plagued Myanmar combined with his own message of hope and peace. Under the old regime of strict censorship, many of those lyrics were forbidden from being heard by the Burmese people, but with the relaxation of those rules in recent years, that has changed.
"We used to have censorship with everything, cartoons, magazines, even songs. But, about one year ago, there was no more censorship. In my first album three songs were rejected but now I might use them," he sasy speaking through a translator.
Poe Kwar's music carries his message, but across town in a small office inside a Yangon mall another woman's message is being carried through her writing.
A small woman with a big presence, Ma Thida is perhaps the second most internationally recognized face of the fight for democracy in Myanmar.
A surgeon and writer, the one-time aide to Aung San Suu Kyi spent 5 years, 6 months and 6 days in the infamously brutal Insein prison for her work with the National League for Democracy (NLD).
After working with Suu Kyi and the NLD during the 1988 student demonstrations, the failed elections in 1990 and the subsequent constitutional meetings, she was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in October of 1993. While in prison, her health began to fail. Already suffering from a medical condition she contracted tuberculosis.
"Most of my health condition inside was bad and most of the people thought I might die in prison and most of the medical treatment I got while inside was pretty terrible," she explained.
It was then that her plight was recognized by international human rights groups like Amnesty International.
"The authority always thought I was a pretty bad prisoner," Ma Thida says. "I was always giving them the big headache for handling things… that's why I was recognized as a bad prisoner.
The international pressure along with her reputation as a 'bad prisoner' helped win her release.
Today, she jokes that the government did her a favour in putting her in prison. "I wish I could have my own prison memoir one day so as soon as I noticed I was sentenced I was a little bit happy you know," she says with a hearty laugh.
Another of Myanmar's well-known former political prisoners is Kyaw Min Yu, known by most in Myanmar simply as Ko Jimmy. Ko Jimmy was one of the leaders of the 88 Generation Student Group that participated in protests in 1988.
He and many of his colleagues were arrested for publicly advocating for democracy and writing about their hopes for freedom.
"I was arrested in August 1989 and released in 2005. I was in prison for 16 years for the first time and then in 2007 arrested again and again released in 2012. Everything is 'again' you know," he says with a rye laugh.
Having spent more than 20 years of his life in prison for his convictions, those years of harsh treatment may have taken their toll but have not broken his spirit.
Today, he and other former leaders of the 88 Generation who spent so much of their lives in solitary confinement are continuing the fight for democracy with a new incarnation of the 88 Generation still advocating for democracy.
"Reform is very important and the most important thing is to establish new political culture in our country which means dialogue culture. For 60 years, we lost dialogue culture in our country. We lost democratic culture in our country," says Jimmy.
When asked if these elections are the answer to building on the reforms to freedom of expression and steps towards free elections Jimmy answers, "According to the democratic procedure we must accept the elections.
Ma Thida echoes Ko Jimmy's cautious optimism about the changes Myanmar is undergoing. She too points out that although elections are important it isn't the only thing needed to fix Myanmar's political problems.
"The current constitution is the key problem for having the democratic culture that's why we keep asking the government to change the constitution according to the democratic standards," she says. "What we need is not only the result of the 2015 election but changing the systems more and more." she says.
Ma Thida and Ko Jimmy share a desire for change beyond merely having elections.
So too does Poe Kwar. He continues to make his music with a message of love and freedom.
It's a message he holds close to his heart. Lifting up his Bob Marley T-shirt he reveals a tattoo of Aung San Suu Kyi, a symbol of his hope for a democratic and free future.
Melanie de Klerk travelled to Myanmar as a recipient of the 2015/2016 Asia Pacific Foundation Media Fellowship.

Harry "Opie" Winston is a fictional character on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy, played by Ryan Hurst. He is a member of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, the son of SAMCRO co-founder Piney, a member of SAMCRO, and best friend of Jax since childhood.

Character biography
Opie's mother took him away from Piney and Charming when he was sixteen, but he left her and returned to his father and the club.

Season 1

While married to Donna, Opie is sent to prison for five years, after being caught by police when his getaway driver (Kyle Hobart) abandoned him at a crime scene, thus leaving Opie's wife and two children, Ellie and Kenny, to fend for themselves during his incarceration. Upon his release, Opie's family has difficulty making ends meet, which contributes to Opie's decision to resume illegal activity with SAMCRO, against Donna's wishes. Agent June Stahl attempts to recruit Opie which causes her to trick Clay Morrow, SAMCRO's President, into believing that Opie  betrayed the Club and the others with whom he murdered Heffner
, a port commissioner. Clay responds by ordering Tig Trager to kill Opie and pin it on the One-Niners street gang. Opie's wife, Donna, who was driving his truck, is mistakenly killed instead.

Season 2

After Donna is murdered, Opie spirals into depression. He starts to become more distant from his children, by crashing at the Club house where he bonds with Lyla, a porn star. They later form a relationship together, and Opie wants her to leave the porn industry.

Season 3

When the club starts exploiting its porn connections to entertain Henry Lin's clients, a furious Opie starts a fight with Lin's clients. This ultimately leads to the club losing out on a major deal. He travels to Belfast, Northern Ireland to aide Jax, who's searching for his missing son Abel. After Agent Stahl tries to screw SAMCRO, Opie, with the help of Wayne Unser, targets Agent Stahl in retribution for her role in the death of his wife, Donna. During this confrontation Stahl breaks down crying and begs Opie for her life, to which Opie responds, "This is what she felt." He then shoots Stahl in the back of the head with a MAC-10, instantly killing her. After this, Chibs Telford rigs the scene to look as if the IRA murdered Stahl and Jimmy O'Phelan.

Season 4

Members of SAMCRO are released from prison after serving 14 months for federal weapons charges, due to Stahl's actions. They return to their hometown of Charming, California where they are disturbed by the sight of signs for a new real estate development in their quiet town, spearheaded by the town's new mayor Jacob Hale, Jr. and Elliott Oswald, whose land was seized for the project under eminent domain. On their way into town, they encounter the town's new sheriff, Eli Roosevelt, who together with Assistant U.S. Attorney Lincoln Potter has convened a secret task force to shut down the club's gunrunning operation. Opie and fiancée Lyla get married in a ceremony on an Indian reservation. During the wedding, Jax and Clay kill Russian mob boss Viktor Putlova, while other members seize the Russian's guns and use them to wipe out the rest of the mob. Opie discovers birth control in Lyla's dressing room. Angry that she is sabotaging their attempts to conceive, he sleeps with Ima. Lyla arrives at the clubhouse to find Ima leaving Opie's room. Opie says that he did it because he found her birth control pills, and when she admits to having an abortion, he tells her that he is leaving her until she decides what she wants. Jax lures Ima into her dressing room and throws her against a table, warning her to stay away from his family and the clubhouse.

As the gang votes on the future of Clay's presidency, the clubhouse is attacked by the Lobos Sonora cartel, who drop off the severed heads of two SAMTAZ members, including club president Armando's. One cartel member is captured in the attack, but the Mayans are hit simultaneously, losing three men and a truck full of drugs. Piney demands that Clay withdraw the club from the drug business, threatening to deliver John Teller's letters to the club if he fails. Later that night, Clay arrives at Piney's house and kills him, scrawling the signature of the Lobos Sonora cartel on an old photo of the Sons of Anarchy's founding 'First 9.'

Tig, and Opie turn to Lyla for help locating Georgie Caruso to punish him for inadvertently helping Hale. As they stuff him in the trunk of a car, he admits to sending men after Luann, but only with the intention of roughing her up. Tig and Opie fill his car with bullets. Opie takes the tow truck up to Piney's cabin and finds his father dead. Unser follows him to the cabin and tells him that Clay is the man responsible. Opie's trust in Jax and the club is broken as he seeks revenge. He later arrives at the club and shoots Clay twice. In an attempt to stop Opie, Jax shoots him in the wrist, and takes him to his home, where he stays hidden.

Season 5

Opie rebuffs Jax's offer to sit at the table due to Jax's decision in keeping Clay at the table. Clay visits Opie and convinces him that Jax needs him at the MC. Opie arrives at the clubhouse just as Jax, Tig Trager and Chibs Telford are being arrested for murder. Opie punches the sheriff to ensure he is kept close to Jax. Following a meeting with Damon Pope, Jax has to decide which member of the MC will die in prison. As he is about to sacrifice himself, Opie headbutts the prison guard and is taken to fight to the death. Despite initially putting up a good fight, Opie is outnumbered and eventually overpowered and beaten to death by a prison gang while Jax and Chibs watch on through a window. Jax vows to get revenge against the prison guard for the death of his friend. Opie's wake is held at the clubhouse with every member of SAMCRO in attendance.

Development and reception

Ryan Hurst portrays Opie on Sons of Anarchy. Hurst was promoted to main star billing status starting in season two. Hurst's portrayal of Opie was met with positive reviews.

Opie is killed off in the fifth season episode "Laying Pipe". Hurst has since commented on his characters death, saying:

Series creator Kurt Sutter said:

As the series is based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Digital Spy questioned if Opie was the character that was based on Ophelia, saying: Our favourite Ophelia choice is probably Opie, if only because of the remarkable similarities between their names. Jax's childhood friend is certainly put through the ringer, although his death falls into the 'noble sacrifice' category rather than Ophelia's famous suicide.

Premier Christy Clark speaks to delegates at Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver Friday.
VANCOUVER – Premier Christy Clark used her speech to the local government convention Friday to persuade delegates that her government's liquefied natural gas export plan is becoming reality, and communities will share in the proceeds.
Clark said the consortium of Chevron and Apache Corp. has already spent $800 million on site preparations for its proposal to pipe gas from northeast B.C. shale formations to the North Coast.
Another indication came from her meeting with the council from tiny Port Edward, which had no municipal land sales for 12 years. So far this year $2 million has been paid to purchase land, with another $2 million expected by the end of 2013, she said.
None of the half dozen international bidders for LNG projects has reached a final decision on financing, but the first ones are expected by next year. That puts B.C. ahead of any U.S. plan to export its abundant shale gas, Clark said after her speech.
Communities such as Kitimat, the main port, and Fort Nelson, centre of gas production and processing, are already feeling the pressures of intense industrial development. Convention workshops discussed the problem of "shadow populations," mainly hundreds of remote work camps that set up outside municipal borders but still use airports, garbage dumps and other services.
Northern communities get no taxes and little commercial benefit from the camps, and workers fly in and out without ever visiting the communities. Some mayors said their trip to Vancouver and back for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was made more difficult because flights are booked up by construction and gas workers.
Clark announced a new "LNG-Buy B.C." program intended to connect multinational companies such as Shell and Korea Gas with local suppliers.
She also gave Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson a new job, responsible for rural development and reversing decades of falling population in rural communities.

Performance of a branch chain RNA in situ hybridization assay for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Darcy A. Kerr, Kshitij S. Arora, Krishnan K. Mahadevan, Jason L. Hornick, Jeffrey F. Krane, Miguel N. Rivera, David T. Ting, Vikram Deshpande, William C. Faquin
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a major etiologic agent in a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), and its recognition has prognostic and predictive implications. The availability of a sensitive and specific test to assess HR-HPV status is limited. We evaluate an RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) method using branch chain technology to detect HR-HPV and compare its results with DNA ISH, p16 immunohistochemistry, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tissue sections from 54 patients were stained with a manual RNA ISH assay (ViewRNA), which detects 14 HR-HPV types, an automated DNA ISH assay, and p16 immunohistochemistry. Most cases (83%, n=45) were also tested on an automated platform for 14 HR-HPV types and 1 limited to HPV 16/18. PCR was performed in all cases and was successful in 93% (n=50). The RNA ISH assay produced results in 96% of the cases with strong signals and was easily interpreted. HR-HPV was detected in more cases (63%, n=34) by RNA ISH than by DNA ISH (39%, n=21). Compared with PCR, both ISH platforms were 94% specific. RNA ISH was more sensitive (91%) than DNA ISH (65%), and RNA ISH correlated more strongly with p16 immunostaining. HPV 16 represented 89% of HR-HPV detected. The cocktail HPV 16/18 platform was concordant with the pooled HR-HPV assay in all expected cases. The automated assay demonstrated high concordance (96%) with the manual version, showed decreased background, and should allow for easy implementation into the workflow of the diagnostic pathology laboratory.

The RNA ISH assay produced results in 96% of the cases with strong signals and was easily interpreted. HR-HPV was detected in more cases (63%, n=34) by RNA ISH than by DNA ISH (39%, n=21). Compared with PCR, both ISH platforms were 94% specific. RNA ISH was more sensitive (91%) than DNA ISH (65%), and RNA ISH correlated more strongly with p16 immunostaining. HPV 16 represented 89% of HR-HPV detected. The cocktail HPV 16/18 platform was concordant with the pooled HR-HPV assay in all expected cases.

Chinese energy giant PetroChina, a unit of the state-owned China National Petroleum Corp., has suspended its buying of liquified natural gas spot cargoes from the United States, according to the Upstream, a global oil, gas and energy news service.
China has already slowed down its purchase of LNG from the US, having bought only one cargo in July, compared to seven cargoes in January, and the country has started to looking for alternative LNG supplies, according to the report.
The move is thought to be aimed at avoiding potential tariffs amid a trade conflict between the US and China.
China said last month it was considering a 25 per cent tariff on US LNG, which had been missing from previously targeted goods, in a direct hit to American gas exporters.
Earlier this week, PetroChina signed a deal with Qatargas Operating Co. to purchase 3.4 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually, the Chinese company's biggest supply deal, state-controlled Qatargas said in a statement Monday.
Under the 22-year agreement, Qatargas will supply LNG from the Qatargas 2 project, a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Total SA and the first cargo will be delivered later this month.
China's LNG imports have surged 35 per cent in the first eight months of this year, helping it overtake Japan as the world's biggest buyer of natural gas, amid Beijing's drive to boost use of the fuel as part of an environment protection campaign.


I recently watched an HSN presentation from 2010 where they were selling an LED mist/fogger on a Halloween special. Does anyone know if that will be in stock and sold again during the Halloween shows?
?, the item list for Halloween themed shows aren't up yet. You're sure on to a ghostly start. Please keep checking in as we 'creep' closer.
